how my, my ride. i've been fighting with it yet and was i'm just to remind you that i'm printing print one a mission the whole human to read people issue in a solution corner. did well, some of the government official for the civilians so far haven't ever seen anything all along these alley a deal because all of this, so just want to do so. the question is, how many are you listen? i mean, will me, did in was sunday, and no one is it all right now i to south america, or at least 17 civilians and prove, helping killed and made heavy clashes with police. it comes out supporters of the

impeach president pedro castillo, took to the streets to protest against the current leadership. ah, ah, hundreds are reported to have been injured, including at least $75.00 police officers, as locals attempted to take over the international board. the demonstrations are aimed at interim president, dina bullard tay, who's heavily supported by washington, but protest her say she must resign, lavinia to put it here on the police officers were shooting at us. we call him president of perused the unable to walk to, to resign because you are a murderer. i don't know who is going to defend us who is going to look after these children who are traumatized. these children who are becoming fatherless, motherless orphans, the state is not going to come to see us. we have moved comb, race wounded villagers by many western countries,

including the u. s. have yet to condemn the violence against the civilians. but former president of bolivia, even morales house, demanded that the un, than the international community take notice of what's happening on the ground. we call on o n u c i d h human rights organizations and social and indigenous movements of the world to join their voices, to demand respect for the lives of our peruvian brothers, defenseless victims of repression and exclusion. politics were following that statement by the former president. he was bound by the government of peru from entering the country. we spoke to peruvian activist cathy, a courier, and says that the states actions against the protesters and evil but allies are simply acts of racism. there is evidently relation between in the border through which we were speaking about the same indigenous

people. so that evidence they will be on you know, some yes, actions that will be supported it strongly. and there was no proof, however of the that the government is saying, well, what i think is evidently racist attack is not only against ever, but obviously again the people, as i mentioned, it's mostly indigenous i mara, that don't have crop now have experienced the latest killings and the action of bonding able from entering the country. it's just, it's a joke to me, but it's been a statement from a statement from the government to creep in the life basically invention of

peoples and to blame everywhere. alas and believing and less when movement in latin america for whatever is going on in the country even for their own killing. so they're trying to make us responsible for it because there's people who speak against the government responsible for the killing that b r. committing china is new, the foreign minister has started his term with a week long trip to 5 african countries following in the footsteps of his predecessor king, who was previously ambassador to the united states kicked off his tour in ethiopia, where he met his counterpart. he is also set to visit gabon and goler and in egypt . well, let's cross live now to r t scrub

a little to carol. hi there. what does this official visit mean for the african continent? well, you, lenders visits represents 2 things as an opportunity for the new chinese foreign minister, minister king to actually come and familiarize himself with africa, but also an opportunity for him to relay what chain of vision is for his corporation. with several african countries over the medium to long term. as you know, china is africa's biggest foreign invest anyhoo. as you said in your intro, he follows in a long line of foreign ministers, chinese foreign ministers who actually spend their 1st week of the year here on the continent for nearly 3 decades now. now this visit comes amid a really challenging times for a lot of african countries. they have been going through what they've,

we've experienced, or what you might call food shortages, and also a crate crash cache crunch. following the global pandemic and top of mind for african leaders and for african faith has really been about how do we restructure dead in order to avoid potential deep falls by several countries or other. this is an opportunity for china starting of course the in, if the o p r, which is the headquarters of the african union, where they build a 200000000 dollar headquarters there. courtesy of the chinese government that has been a blessed upon this country. but of course, there is a deeper relationship, the bilateral between china and ethiopia, china has been there in terms of food aid and has also played a pivotal role. one of the unsung heroes really behind if your peers peace accord

between the warring factions of the federal government and the te gray people. this is a very, very interesting time for the continent, as it's also in the middle of what you may call a to powell quite ship. it say head, a lot of interest coming in from the united states, which all of a sudden, after some aids years of absence, one to re kendall the relationship francis trying to find its place as it keeps getting expelled from country to country and indeed is not just that you is also making itself known here and very much felt. and japan has also been one of the leaders in terms of the asia, africa relationship. and they find, of course, an entrenched china, as i've said already, one of the leading investors in the continent and big on infrastructure lead project. and duration also is also becoming a partner of choice,

amongst many african countries that are dealing with issues of security that find moscow more agreeable and less demanding and pre condition based. but i never think than brandon's our car or do not just south africa of having anything that is even smelling of russia. and that is the only one. these are they're the of the defense minister of south africa. she holds no, no bars as she has often reiterated this point. going as far as to say that the, the western superpowers are effectively using food aid to try and win africa over at least twist if am in assemblies like the united nations general assembly. and in other for a 2 and not necessarily looking at the economy development problem. thanks very much for taking us through that to ortiz trouble, little ally from johannesburg. you n chief,

antonio. good cherish has urged the global community to lend a helping hand to pakistan, which has been devastated by flooding while stressing that that mean obstacle to relief efforts is a biased, unbroken global financial system. it is very clear is that the present system is bias. the system was conceived by a group of reach countries and naturally it mays equally benefits rich countries. so we needs 1st of all to recognise that we have presently they situation in developing wills, in which countries are strangled by them. and countries have no access to the financial resources they need while at the same time, the pakistani prime minister has asked the i m f for

a pause in its demands for economic reforms, which includes spending cuts on raising the prices of subsidized gas and energy. islam about insist it's doing its best to meet the i m. f targets on blames. i stood p. m. imminent come for the country's economic plight, alleging he left it short of cash and facing and energy crunch. pakistan raised more than $10000000000.00 and pledges us a donors conference on monday, posted jointly by the government of pakistan on the u. n. but that's just half all the number needed now as the country struggles to recover from devastating floods which affected over 30000000 people. sri lanka also facing difficulties in that region with at debt relief negotiations. although in this case, it involves private investors. the south asian country plunged into crisis last spring with its leaders forced to flee as mass protest swept the country. sure lanka defaulted on its dead for the 1st time in its history in may. and now hedge

funds and in vest hers are accused of blocking a deal on debt relief. experts fear the delay will only worsen the prices. private credit is own almost 40 percent of for lancaster, external debt stock. but higher interest rates mean that they receive over 50 percent of external debt payments, such lenders charged premium to lenders for lanka to cover their risks, which accrued a massive profits and contributed so sir. anchors 1st have a default in april 2022. instead of geopolitical maneuvering. all this will anchors, creditors must insure debt cancellation sufficient to provide a way out of the current crisis. or the former pakistani government economic adviser told me, systematic global reforms are needed to tackle the impact of climate change, much more effectively that sort of financial injustice and the financial exposure. not. no, i have been getting 100 but countries the financial system will that cannot that go

on and that system needs to be added fall and i would just need to be sure that i've got 47 declaration, the $200.00 missions out of this specifically said that the international financial needs to do, they need to be more like just sponsor. they need to be more responsive to topic. we're confused when we change. so i could start with just less than one percent shift carbon emissions thing about dish and international production. and to do since countries then need to come up and cut off and they need to take some of the losses, just depleted, it's not charity and it's not delicious. the chinese national currency looks said to get a big boost in latin america following a major trade deal between china and argentina,

which will allow when the stories to increase its depleted foreign currency reserves. beijing is already one of argentine is main economic partners. the currency swapped deal for the equivalent of around $20000000000.00. that's coming to an opportune time. the south american nation has been seeking to increase its foreign currency reserved to fulfill economic guidelines from the i m f. a china is argentina, 2nd largest trade partner behind brazil. it's also the 2nd biggest destination for argentinian exports. the currency exchange. the means payments between the 2 countries will be facilitated in chinese. you are, we heard from economic experts is the van cars, nor on the agreements, implications. china has a stable money and monetary policy, as well as the world's biggest international reserves. so china

is promoting a monetary policy towards optimization of its resources and richness. looking for an o thomas, a locally very bred dominant monetary expansion where it will be a benchmark for the world. when you have a strong money, everybody goes after this strong money. it's called the gresham wall. it's natural that the r continuance will look for more activities towards china and with a chinese strong you one. the merging godfrey's, such as brazil, russia, india, china, south africa, a have with more and more time with in these last years,

better, higher, stronger presence in lots of forums. so to big part of the bricks is really very important for our current dina. and are in dina because of its enormous political and economic crisis to look for more participation. australia has rejected an asylum request from an alleged chinese spy, despite expressing previous support for him on the nation's media. betraying him as a hero ortiz marina cost. forever picks up the story. his name is lit. jung wong leitz young, but his definitely no james bond than the when you look at all the evidence, it's amazing that australia and the west fell for his act. so begin with, well, let's start from the beginning. this man 1st appeared on australian national tv a few years ago, claiming to be a chinese spy. this is where he revealed that his mission was to further beijing's

interests primarily in hong kong and taiwan. among his claims was that as an undercover agent, he kidnapped booksellers, whose works angered the chinese government that he infiltrated universities and stole military intelligence and weapons. that he undermined the protest. movements in hong kong, manipulates of the election results in taiwan and embezzled public assets. there ends of the west, a at all up after roll it fit their anti chinese narrative. so jackpots this young double 07 was paraded on national to the end, portrayed as a hero, a hero in need of protection. haven't spilled all this. he about his home country. australian authorities also joined in initially ignore an issue such as his young age, lack of the tell in his stories. and the fact that everything he spoke about was already in the public domain. i'm of the view that anyone who's willing to assist

us in defending our sovereignty deserves our protection. i think he deserves our protection and our support. hostile foreign intelligence activity continues to pose a real threat to our nation and its security. i have no doubt in my mind that he would be the subject of severe consequences. were he to return to china? china was adamant that the west was being conned by this camera. happy spy. their version was that this, the factor was actually a fugitive. who was under investigation for fraud and china? actually, the facts a clear for this fraud who became a spy? this is a totally absurd loophole written screenplays concocted by anti china forces. they even release footage of one leads young in chords in china face and the fraud charges where he seemingly admits to being a liar on earth court documents and witness statement seems to corroborate china's version of the story. but maybe this intriguing fairy tale was so good to pass up at the time for the western media since it was during

a period of really tense relations between australia and china. their lowest point in almost 50 years with accusations of election modeling, human rights violations, and china allegedly weaponized in trade. sometimes it really is a case of wishful thinking, but it seems that finally australia and the west have caught on, wang has not only been accused of committing fraud against an australian citizen, but he was also denied asylum. a decision that was a pallet by the australian appeals tribunal, partly because they now have doubts over his claims. and how, if at all this friday you know, can safely find that wang was engaged in espionage activities. it will be interesting to see how much coverage the spy force would get after it has back wired on the west. but it just goes to show, once again, how sometimes ideology overwhelms you and you just can't say no to good spy

thriller. even if it is a bunch of fiction then just to stay with her marina's peace, we heard from international relations expert, tim anderson in sydney. he sees australian china ties hub deteriorated over the years, and that washington's foreign policy, young media outlets is a big factor in that degradation. mister wang, it seems as a little bit too far out on a limb, even for the australian authorities and the background that wasn't 50 years ago in schools, we were told australia as part of china. and we were all encouraged to learn asian languages and, and of course, the economic relations with se, asia and china grew and grew him at china has been australia's biggest tried partner. and this was the case until 4 or 5 years ago when washington turned around and decided, you know, with obama's pivot to asia and trump's economic war against asian companies. and then nancy pelosi is trip to taiwan that are a stranger. unfortunately, the, the,

the clutch of politicians are extremely weak. they can't really resist joining in with the washington campaign. but it went wider than that. it was the media promoting these things. that's true. the corporate media that promotes all of these the lightest campaign from washington. it's also academics, we had a number of academics coming out early on saying this man was credible and it added to all of the what was known about china and so on. of course, what really upset the story was back at the beginning 3 years ago. there was already opponents of by aging. who was, i know this guy as a fraud. he is a lawyer. there was taiwanese intelligence officer, retired one people in hong kong was supposedly the victims of beijing who was saying, don't believe this guy, he's a fraudster. so all of all the wanting sounds were out there from the beginning. but nevertheless, the story proceeded. allege russian influence on twitter during the 2016 u. s. presidential campaign had no significant influence on voters. that is the conclusion

of a new study by the new york university center for social media and politics. let's go through this because it follows years of mainstream media reports alleging collusion between moscow and former u. s. liter donald trump, the so called russia it theory claims that fake news and russian social media bots help swing the election in tramps favor. however, no concrete evidence has ever been presented to back the long standing accusations with a dull ca on which stick claims were based later discredited as a source. while the latest study has blown another major hole in the russia game theory finding that us citizens were more interested in domestic news rather than so called domestic intelligence reports. the study also find no direct evidence that an allege russian influence campaign impacted on people's political views here . so one of the studies authors had to say,

my personal sense coming out of this is that this got way over hyped. and then we have this data to show we can't find any relationship between being exposed to these tweets and people's change in attitudes. while earlier i spoke to journalist and author, daniel lazar who said, despite the fact that they collusion, narrative was fake. the mainstream media reporting had americans believing that trump was a russian puppet. we knew it was a got big, a big deal over nothing but the press would not be deterred. it was intent on mounting a ferocious anti russian campaign. i mean, there was a step astonishing, there was no evidence. and in fact, the robert mueller report showed there was no evidence to support collusion. but the democrats promoted it at every opportunity and they were backed up by the press and by the intelligence agencies. so americans,

for more than 2 years were led to believe that collusion was a real thing that donald trump really was a russian puppet. and i'm, i'm not trying to defend trump by the way i'm, i can't stand the guide. but the, but trump did not need russian help in winning the 2016 alexa, he was able to do with the old fashioned way on political grounds by appealing to american voters. lots, i choose, his new stories are shipping up for now. i'll be back up the top with all the updates to hope you can join me that lie from moscow. this is our team tours. mm ah.
