in london. westwood was known as the queen of extreme fashion, with her punk style in the 1970s, making its way into the global arena. the business woman was also a prominent supporter of wiki leaks fonder. julian, a soldier, she attended numerous protest demanding freedom for the jailed journalist. westwood spoke to r t several times, including in 2016 when she offered her views on a host of issues. we often stop the rotten financial system because that is the means by which they control the whole world. this no opposition and we have to build their opposition because you have to work through governments. you have to give them a feeling that they're being overpowered by, of the opinion against them who want of all the people want to save the world instead of wreck it by continuing with the rotten financial system. it causes war

of course, and it causes climate change and it's designed to create poverty. this rotten financial system is very simple. everything disconnected war is connected with the rotten financial system because wars are waged for land and for watts in the land. now, because the wreck in the planet and taken everything up and also for cheap labor, you know, there were slaves the, that's what wars were fought for originally. that's what, let's deal fortnoy. and so, and it's all to do with these few people, this 1000000 people who have the power in the world, and they want all that they're playing the game, like everybody's pawns in their game. you know, i'm so war is directly to do with the rotten financial system. that is the cause of all our problems. what we've got to do is promote the idea of what a wonderful wild,

the green economy will be. paper will be equal to each other. so the eeoc you'll get cold to instead of consumption, everybody sucking up. you'll get human beings become in better human beings live ever been before you'll get a paradise. well, we can cross lived to the man who did that in view of sion returns a host of ortiz going underground off shanker to see you petty about the sad news, of course, but just an overall sense about vivian westwood. many will solely remember her as a fashion icon, as someone who had a chance to sit down and interview her. how will you remember her? yes, she's on the show. so many times. it's so sad to watch, sir, that clip you just play because you think about the fact that what she was saying was still so powerful that her well, even in that interview, that interview his band on google had on youtube shred

a lifetime of censorship against her work she was a scholar of fashion, she understood the importance of local, that history of the united kingdom, always emphasizing and twisting the old tartan of scotland as part of the punk outfits. and of course, she is influenced fashion and music in so many different ways. every one takes a bit of vivian west would like the great fashion designers of history, but much harder. a person to whitewash than say, pele, they're obviously not sharing pictures of play with bruton. the during the russian world cup in a donation media, but nor are they mentioned his trip to cuba and they gloss over or don't mention at all. his part in the u. s. sat back qu in brazil as a picture, mugging. one of the are people responsible for torture in brazil, that won't be around, but with vivian westward, noticing the interviews with her that, that i did. she never talked about herself. she's always talking about something

else. and that's what made her so dangerous, even though her shops are in. i've been from bay ging to charity of way. go to all around the world. she or she never stop talking about her passions. and, and those chief passions, i think, summed up for the vivian westwood estate, releasing that statement, capitalism of the crime. it is the root cause of war, climate change, and corruption. yet in your discussions with her, as you went through there, she touched on many social political issues option. where are your impressions on her as someone who truly del uh, into the subjects she spoke about and thus could do so with authority? yes, she reserve clearly. now, well, read, i don't know whether she read fried your shingles as to why she saw in the era of globalization the need to use local fabrics that were carefully sourced in an area

where of course, the rise of china men are most designers were importing masses of cheap labor made or gotten that from the developing world. and she was passionate about the developing world, you know, only in june. i mean take, take a take ukraine, heezer. i've never afraid of being able to broach tropic she immediately. i mean, in june she was posting on instagram saying, what is this racism? why ukrainian refugees because of their skin color, given preferential treatment than all those of color who have been suffering and whose families may have been killed or persecuted in countries? the subject of nature was vivian westwood was a light spoken supporter of julian assange. she described herself as his friend and said, a son should be free to speak the truth for that. she receive backlash, but didn't waver. no. and she has, she visited him so many times when he was most in need,

desperately trying to raise his plight. and it was quite amazing to see how of course, the had major nation media, love vivian, westwood. or it is love, a part of vivian westwood. the glamour at the, the sex for a while, they loved her son knew also be on the program survivors. sergio cory, the founder of and you don't provoke at her. they like all of the glamour. they like the sex they didn't like when he met julian, assert they would minimize the or lee what she was trying to tell the world about what was being done by the british government in terms of torturing him. she said and claimed on behalf of the united states, and i should of to say, here it is quite a may amusing. almost does he say the editor of british vogue a black man and a full head would enter full who put the air on the cover of vogue recently zalinski his wife are rumored and alleged to have benefits presently from the

a you sell sanctioned billions going to ukraine that he was paying to attribute to her. at no point, did he mention that vivian westwood was desperately trying to release and get the release of julian assange, who's down the road in the same city as a vogue headquarters? what a legacy she leaves behind our condolences for a family, of course, option. thank you for coming on and sharing your memory here. direct memories with her option return to host the parties going underground. joining us from the by ah, the ukraine's presidency. lensky has extolled the country's openness on freedom and an address to the national parliament, as he described the importance of a unified global leadership on the strength of the you know, it's while also signing legislation, paving the way for a further clumped on on free speech in ukraine, and now we are truly one with the world, with the strongest,

with the freest in the world. we restore faith and values to millions of people in different countries. well, zalinski saying the ukraine is one with the quote, freest in the world is like that person who's really kind of mediocre at best. and he walks up to you and says, hey, we could pass for twins and you take it as an insult because you really didn't think that you looked that bad. zelinski basically just did that to the entire western world. maybe zalinski is just high on all comparisons in the western press between himself and former world war 2 era. british prime minister, winston churchill in the wake of zalinski, is addressed to u. s. congress last week. you know, churchill war air raid overalls to the white house in 1941. zelinski dressed for his speech in front of congress like he was a courier in the building, making a delivery and accidentally took a wrong turn into the house chamber. churchill said, we will never surrender and well,

so did zalinski with that very unique phrase. you know, so well, yeah, pretty much twins. so now that he's church of double guess the, the figures that making ukraine the west twin would probably work as well. the west has freedom of worship and under zelinski and ukraine, well, they don't. zalinski secret police have rated monasteries across ukraine, even a convent full of nuns and arrested dozens of priests for no justifiable reason whatsoever. and in clear violation of the crating constitution, which no longer matters and in the face of this, the, by the ministration has said nothing, not one word. instead they just continue to push to send zalinski more tax dollars . so naturally, zalinski has become much bolder. why wouldn't be so maybe not quite totally twins with the west there, but at least ukraine upholds the notion of political freedom. right? well, earlier this year, zalinski government suspended 11 political parties under the pretext that they were

to pro russian. but in zalinski is mind, ukraine is just like europe identical, really same values, which is why he said in his speech on wednesday, that now is the time for ukraine to join the european union. ukraine is twins with the e. u. like zelinski is twins with churchill, so you know, what's the hold up? jessica means that both enjoy the same which haunting of the political opposition or of citizens who speak russian. and both have the same kind of diplomatically savvy elected officials. what will we do have to do coupon harrison if the police doesn't do its job till the end? i don't think that will happen not this time. the price is too high. so if the justice system does not work with the traders than the military will do it, there is no other way. i talk to the soldiers and that is what they're saying. they will simply shoot them like dogs. so if you crane is one with the west as zalinski sadness speech to parliament than any, it's the west that should be wondering if it really looks as bad as ukraine. maybe

it isn't so free or democratic or without corruption, as it likes to think. so really, is it any wonder that zalinski looks at all of this and thinks that he's looking at a mirror image of ukraine? 2022 mark 75 years since the end of british colonialism in india on the latter has no well surpassed its previous imperial rulers in economic terms. according to a statement malady, south asian countries ruling political party among other the british had ruled india for 200 years. now the end in economy has become the world's 5th largest economy. overtaken the united kingdom, the international monetary fund and safe india, the food subsidy policy aimed at helping feed. the nation's poorest made a considerable contribution to overall prosperity in the country with less than one percent of the population facing conditions of extreme poverty. we spoke to

a leading member of india ruling political party who said, rising living conditions for effect upon new delhi emergence and a multi polar world. most dude, only the big line in the pool is going to be a money or a dollar. you look for. if you are wrong, when you speak that you can use their, their global or changing, i see their global all already do. this is the st. judy of and it will be, will be, go, be worked for another 1515 years of the mental effects off the board. so it will grow, you know, my waller word. you should not speak up to go 5 fi, you should not be caught dead. and you show the foreign policy, which is independent good, all 3 of them. and so behind india,

this friday marks the 100th anniversary of the funding of the soviet union. the country existed for 7 decades with russian president lovingly describing its collapse as the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century. they should have it so even lost a bit. i'm going to layers if wishing in 1991 and bill of air sky pusher without asking the will of ordinary citizens, representatives of event party elite decided to collapse the u. s. s. r and people suddenly found themselves cut off from their homeland. this tore apart, dismembered our people's community and turned into a national catastrophe. as once after the revolution, the borders of the union republics were cut behind the scenes. so the last leaders of the soviet union, contrary to the direct expression of the will of the majority of the people in the 1991 referendum, ruined our great country. and simply confronted the peoples with

a fact. will a treaty to create the union was signed in 1922 by 4 socialist republics, russia, belarus, ukraine, and the trans caucus and republic, which later split into georgia, armenia, and azerbaijan. during the 1st 2 decades of the union, several new republics were formed in central asia. and in the 1940s as the country expanded westward, estonia lafayette, a lithuania joined, and the moldova in republic was form. so at the time of collapse, there were 15 republics. the republic started the breakaway in the early 19 nineties, and in december 1991, the leaders of russia, ukraine, and bella roost signed an accord, saying the soviet union no longer existed. ortiz donnell quarter discussed the ramifications of the u. s. sr is collapse with philosopher and writer, alex undertaken ah,

0 politically speaking. soviet union was a continuation over the russian empire, ideologically, it was quite different. soviet union was direct continuation and to realization of the lent power opposite to or see power. if we consider that full all the soviet union and this geopolitical aspect, the meaning called that was a kind of defeat, or the land power and frond o that sea power, that was a great catastrophe. off of these, a hot land and the big achievements, all of the sea power or global western liberal salvation e for soviet union route survive. now this a gutless trophy, eat, or will be a kind of room, eurasia newnan,

a kind of your asian empire or, or a torn today when classical or russian empire with surgical central isn't ant multiplicity over there. at the new groups leaving inside. you should, and you are obliged to reserve and safe to save the country, the unity, the strategical control over it. all, including all, all ethnic groups who, without and transforming, transform you to country without losing their power, all their central government. so you could make reform, you could change some are some aspects of economy, but you know, or shoot loose the sovereignty and control over geopolitical space. in order to make correct got transformation over the ideal, you should discard the you either the engine tradition. so now a,

china is a communist political power with confucianism in the center, and with, ah, success, full control. oh, all we're ah, growing liberal market, the chinese didn't. i didn't a div tore that society a liberal democracy, which is a liberal market. they have preserved to vertical arm of government over the country with a unique and who will unite that power political power. and they have submitted our liberal economy to it. main problem for the west to accept that the west could be a province of the humanity. not the sauntered, not the capital. so it is just there, but it is not the whole of humanity. and multiplicity is about that. are ash

a fight for a right to different civilizations, to affirm themselves with it's inherent our system of values that could coincide or not coincide was really western. well, so nothing universal exist in multiple already. there is a kind of relate. if bodily universalism is there is not, not only one universalism, western mother, but there caught exist, and co exist. civilizations are defending. they write to create their own political cultural artist system. so that is the, the, the meaning of that multiplicity. but reality of the civilization. and multiple operative fights against this claim, not against the west as such, but against that claim over the west to be the model to be the unique

example of the progress or of the history. and that the standing of time of man, of, of technology is there is no one unique universal model. ah, to impose on all the civilizations. that is, what is this fight in ukraine is and before we go new, this new era i want to tell you, but this somalia has pulled the welcome mat i'd from under a british energy firm. seeing the company does not own oil exploration rights for a large region in the east african nation. let's go for it. the federal government of somalia categorically rejects general energy policies, claim to own petroleum rights in somalia, northern regions, the federal government of somalia, in response to any violation of its sovereignty over its resources, shall take all possible measures and pursue all legal avenues as part of its constitutional mandate of protecting somalia territorial integrity,

unity in its permanent sovereignty over its natural resources. somalia is a defector or samaya landra as a de facto of somalia and it obtained its independence in $99.00 to $1.00, but no foreign power actually recognizes it as an independent now. so my land is highly prospects of when it comes to on shore exploration in that region. janelle energy, which is an independent london based oil company, is looking to target resources of up to 2000000000 barrels of oil in that region. now, the ministry of the petroleum and mineral resources in somalia has released a statement and they do hold the principle of permanent sovereignty, that the country holds over the natural resources off. so my dear land, and with that, that statement is condemning the illegal activities of janelle off. this british owned company emphasizing that it should even refrain from claiming the rights to

somalia land. now, the federal government has also released within that press statement, putting janelle in the light of a corrupt company that is illegally occupying or looking to occupy the resources of that northern region on channels website. you will see that they obtained the rights or the were awarded to the exploration license in 2012. and it seemed as though as early as a year ago in december of 2021. it was all systems go for going into that region of somalia. now just to give a little bit of background, we know that. so maria land gained the independence in 1960 and $5.00 days they off . they made the decision to join forces with somalia in becoming the greater somalia for all the ethnic groups within that region. but it soon showed that that union was not working out as it was rocked by very unstated political, as well as financial circumstances within somali land withdrawing from there to read from that union. and reasserting its sovereignty,

$99.00 to $1.00. but because that decision did not breach any international laws at the time, it has creates a created a gray area for corrupt companies, such as gin now, which is of u k r. and then you will also note that the u. k. has an office in somebody landed liaison office and somebody land and somebody land has an office in the u. k as, while now in that press statement, the ministry warns of the potential risks to investment, as well as legal ramifications that would be carried out if this illegal exploration of some media continues. and it's cited that they as an institution or the only ones granted to authorized to grant a mineral rights to any of the company. now with somalia recognizing so my land as its own territory and its sovereignty. and we know that many countries around the world are mostly considered a country only when it happens or by the west. we tend to then ask the question

that so has the u. k then recognized, so my dear land only to benefit from it's oil and novice where we leave the friday news run up for now. i'll be back up the top with all the days developments. but next r t set stone with her story just like knob, in fact, with her african tribal leader to talk trade on equality affecting the confidence they would have for that ah ah, ah ah

ah ah ah, well it's been 100 years since the formation of the soviet union, and although the country has not been around for 3 decades already, the impact it's had on world geo politics has been so profound that it's still a subject that's widely spoken about today. and today we're also going to get the

opportunity to discuss that with the renowned russian philosopher, alexander duke. and thank you very much for joining us and giving us time for this interview. and mr. duke, in the 1st question i want to ask has to do with the soviet union, specifically, do you think that it would have been possible to preserve it? and if it was preserved, how do you think the soviet union would look as a multinational country in 2022? the 1st of all, when it so understands that 0 politically speaking. so if you're to known it was a continuation over the russian empire ideological. it was quite different. it was based on the totally opposite values and i d. s. box as job belinda. go, entity as heartland as you read the land mass. and the vision over the glass of gus, all for geo politics.
