your watching oxy international. my name is peter scott from wherever you are joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news analysis. the chinese foreign affairs commission director has held talks with buddy may putin in moscow that was on the last stop by the 6th day diplomatic trip. the president has emphasized the importance of sino russian relations amid global political changes not to she knew she wouldn't. international relations today are complicated and they didn't become better after the fall of the bipolar system. quite the opposite. they turned out to be more problematic. in this regard and cooperation between china and russia, as we said more than once, is very important in stabilizing the international situation. she's giving them on this. i'm to live in the studio by a correspondence don quarter. don't. thanks for joining us. can you tell us what the key takeaways from these talks with these? well peter, these meetings focused pretty exclusively on strategic cooperation between russia

and china. when, when he was in the kremlin, he told blood prudent that he was grateful. that bilateral relations have stood the test of time, although they've had to go through numerous crises together. he said that this, these kinds of situations actually gave both russia and china the opportunities to grow closer. why and also said that china doesn't make its foreign policy decisions aimed against any sort of 3rd party, but that it's also important to understand that those decisions are not dominated by those parties. either. leash, even though crises are shell still happening, but a crisis is always an opportunity. could you teach this can be said from history. so should we need to galvanized such joint efforts to respond well to the current crisis and deepen our corporation to reach out. i also like to emphasize that our relations are never oliver about any 3rd countries, and they're, the gar never dictated by any 3rd parties. yeah. so i believe the concept of

a multiple, a world is also brought up during those talks, what's wishes tacoma? right, there was a lot of talk about multi polarity at these meetings today. and wang even told us vladimir putin that china's dedicated to making international relations more democratic. and naturally, that means moving away from the unipolar wet way of doing things in terms of international relations. now, wang also did meet with russia's foreign minister, sergei lab rav today, and their lab prov, again spoke about their common interests in building this a form of a multi polarity on a world scale. in lab rav said that this was something that was also in the best interest of africa and asia countries, which are the majority of which are trying to assert their national sovereignty very much right now. she's defeated us each of those little spook, the russian federation, and the people's republic of china continued to closely coordinate foreign policy efforts. standing for the creation of a more open democratic re their system of

a national relations. that's what the majority of asian, african and latin american countries which show independence based on their national interests are seeking. they do not accept attempts to impose a confrontational agenda on them as well as restrictions on their development, what we book 0 with us. so that's basically a rundown of what was said at these meetings. and when all was said and done, vladimir putin of course, asked wang to give seizing ping his best wishes. so all around good news for these 2 long standing strategic partners was certainly as i'm, are wait to see how their relation ship grows this year. thanks for breaking down for don. thank you. well, amid the visit to russia, beijing din whole buck as it. so came america on monday publishing a report titled us had gemini and his perils. it concluded that washington uses the cover of promoting democracy to impose global rules that serve its own interests. the use of force has been a feature of us, expansion is from its founding since 2001 alone. washington has launched wars in

the name of fighting terrorism that have claimed nearly a 1000000 lives. 335000 of them civilians. first century, the u. s. has created divisive blocks acting under its influence, and has fostered color revolutions to disrupt governments. they oppose. lately, washington has raised the false dichotomy of democracies versus autocracies, an arbitrarily labeled nations as members of separate camps. that report by china is divided into several parts, highlighting us efforts around the world where it pursues a particular agenda. according to beijing, washington stokes global conflicts on conference ation. due to its quotes, cold war mentality, the paper claims the u. s. has an aggressive style of foreign policy and its efforts to hold on to power is also urges washington to reexamine its practices and let go of what china calls, american arrogance and prejudice. c, g, t, and correspondents,

and facial photos more earlier. the report covers that the u. s. has been escalating a green power competing across the globe. and the country has acted more boldly to interfere the internal affairs of the are the countries and the united states really develop the hedge a monic playbook to stage a color revolutions. and it has overstretched, the concept of national security abuse, export controls, and force the unilateral sanctions upon others. so it's basically a series of action in multiple perspectives. and so it's also a pointing out the action of playing the democracy card. but rather, you know, it hurting the interests of people from many countries. if you look at the timing of the important, this really comes in the same day where you as president joe biden, made a surprise visit to keith. and also, not only just this report,

but also the 2nd day on tuesday, china issued another report were called the global security initiative concept paper, which is also relevant to more relevant to the security issue, dialogue and negotiation. political settlement has been the major proposal by china on basically any regional issue when it comes to conflict or crisis. and it could be as proved, the most a wise, the decisions on resolving any disputes. beijing is also called on western nations to stop fueling the conflicts in ukraine and refrain from drawing parallels with it to taiwan. china's new foreign minister said such a cavalier approach to violence in the former could prompt further unrest inside pay. they didn't consider as tie one to be as territory, according to the one china policy, which is the cornerstone of sino american relations. we urge certain countries to immediately stop fueling the fire, stop shifting, blame to china, and stop touting ukraine to day taiwan to morrow. we stand firmly against any form

of hedge mony, any foreign interference in china's affairs, ever since the outbreak of the specialists are operations on the war ukraine, the united states and its close allies are basically claiming that china will invade a taiwan o, where by 8 reality power in this part of china and the unification of taiwan is the beggar trend. and whatever that may eventually happen will not be called a invasion or aggression. for example, by any stretch of the imagination into or be part of the child is people's reunification. or therefore, i think for him is the jingle strongly condemns, such flagrant violation of the one on the policy and those dangerous attempts try to promote taiwan separatism and turning taiwan into a separate sovereign country. moving on now,

russia has no doubts over who is behind the node stream pipeline attacks. back in september the attacker's motives, the companies came as russia submitted, a resolution to the un security council. calling for an independent international investigation into the incident. you civilians were not engaged in spreading disinformation. we're not trying to build indictments based on allegations in the spirit of being highly likely. in the case of undermining the pipeline. there is no doubt about the motive of the crime, nor its perpetrators, nor the way in which the crime was committed. we're not here to have a trial in the security council. we've submitted a draw a security council resolution with instructions to conduct an independent international investigation. we forced to do this because we have doubts about the effectiveness, transparency, and impartiality of the ongoing investigations. we do not see any desire for cooperation on the part of our partner's worship, as we heard of the russian representative of the russian bastard and pansy. he made

it abundantly clear that at this point of all the science seemed to indicate the united states is responsible. the u. s. representative dismissed allegations and the evidence put forward by c mortars and others as merely a conspiracy theories from the internet. those were the words they use. now, the chinese representative, i made a point of saying that flat out denial from the united states without going in to the details. all the evidence that has been presented was simply unacceptable. we heard from different countries talking about the potential danger threats, the environment i carried out as a result of it. the need for thorough investigation and accountability. any deliberate act of sabotage against trans boundary infrastructure is council and believes that it is of utmost significance to authorize in a touch of the north stream pipelines acts of sabotage against energy infrastructure, such as explosions that damage the north stream. one and 2 gas pipelines. in the baltic, sea last september are unacceptable. they pose

a significant threat to international security, stability and prosperity. vandalism, to critical infrastructure is an unacceptable act that through hover life and death impact. on contrast, people, the switzerland is concerned about the damage to nordstrom $1.00 and $2.00 gas pipelines which resulted in warning gas leaks and did. so. last september, all available information indicates that there is an active sabotage. so we heard from the cia analyst, they all gave remarks and the size, the need for an investigation to be conducted by the un and for information about what is found in these 3 countries have reportedly carried out investigations of the north stream, terrorism, denmark, germany, and sweden, these countries presumably know much more about the circumstances information

globally suite has kept the results of the investigation secret from the rest of the world, and turned down a joint investigation with denmark and germany. in the interest of global peace, the un security council should require these countries will mediately turn over the results of their investigations to the un security council. there is quite an interesting amount of emphasis placed on the need for security and why the destruction the pipeline was unacceptable. russia responsible china is not status raymond mcgovern who briefed un security council members at the meeting. and he says, that's an international investigation. oh, don't want to initial investigation. those are the people that are subservient to the united states who had the opportunity that baltic she exercises naval exercise and who profit from a bullying? i mean, what more do you need this suggest that when white and says we have the means we're

going to do it. don't worry about it. we can just blow up weekend, stop. nord scream, european members', security council just hue to what us policy is. you can expect an independent appreciation from them. ah, the former australian prime minister has unveiled that the foreign interference laws introduced by him back in 2018 were in fact aimed at china, but failed to achieve their goals. the most active state and political party seeking to influence public affairs in australia is china. but they don't seem to appear on the register. the law was aimed at all for tearing states and not australia, security allies, and geopolitical tensions had worse. and since it was introduced, or the law was the biggest counter intelligence overall in decades and was aimed combating espionage activities on political interference, there was a time, it was not aimed directly at china. symbol now says that the key purpose of

a foreign interest register was to disclose the links the chinese communist party, hard formed in australia, relations between china and australia. howard in recent years after cambra urge the investigation into the origin of cobra. 19 back in 2020 and how china handled the outbreak of the virus. also slapping a 5 g network button on chinese tech giant, while way, john has denied any wrong doing. i responded with formal buns on australian products such as cold, wind, bali, and lobsters, australia, and china have recently sought to repair diplomatic ties. and beijing has begun to ease tre, box on australian coal and agriculture products. sim, understand director of the center for counts. the hedge a monic studies says by pushing china away australia is acting against his interests on washington's demands. in the case of a stranger, it's a tragedy because for at least 50 years, the relations with china had been warming. and only a few years ago, the very cordial relations with china on the north,

from both the major parties that matter who was in government here. chinese groups, academic groups, you know, since shoot all of these sorts of groups, which of course have some links to the government in china. but there was no real concern about it. and bleeding politicians visited china and because after all, china had become a biggest trade partner. and there was no real trick now very quickly because of the, the harsh policy. all the jealous, harsh policy of the trumpet administration towards china and the beginning of economic measures against china on the trump carried on by the regime astray has fallen, shoot and sent war ships to the south china sea. and china has responded with some crippling restrictions on strike exports to china. you know, said the relations have really gone downhill very quickly. as a, as a direct result of the government been camera operating under the instructions of washington as incense fighting rages on,

on the front lines of the don bus artsy got an exclusive look at the operations of the all battalion, which is a special assault units of the russian, army correspondents, you just don't have sensors. this reports from the ground to an unfamiliar rye. this may look like one colossal thicket. but the 1st look is deceptive. the soil here is carved with trenches, reinforced with concrete. ukraine has turned this woodland into a citadel. russia, in turn, is bulldozing this bastion with tanks. after a couple of days of rest, this tank crew is once again, on its way to take part in the onslaught in russia on stored on ukrainian positions in the forest outside kerman, ny. this is russia separate assault battalion, ural,

a crew of volunteers who couldn't let their military experience go to waste donly. what had you on this battalion is a separate assault unit of the ministry of defense with the support of a private individual in our task as to knock the enemy out of the forest. we work from different distances. they rush, ukraine's positions and raise hell. in the midst of the enemy, cave troops respond with all they've got our p. jeez, artillery and heavy caliber rounds the cruise ship, unfazed russian tanks continue the fight until they run out of ammunition scarred but fully functional. they withdraw to return with more firepower. tanks provide invaluable coverage, so wash and ground troops. one special forces unit capitalizes on the distraction

and gets close to one of the enemy dugouts. mm. this nary 20 meters between the warring sites. 3 ukrainian soldiers try to put up a fight, but when the commander is downed by a clean head shot, the peak at the drone camera pans up in the air. mm ukrainian officials have been claiming this is what rushes new all out offensive looks like. but given how much reserves state put to date, it was compet reconnaissance at best. i'm a get done of reporting from the don bus, artsy armed clutches between palestinians. an idea of soldiers have broken

out in the west bank city of nobliss, leaving at least 3 people dead on multiple injured solomon, a critical condition. ah. when shots on the explosions could be heard in the area, as is really forces entered novices. old city videos on social media showed hollis dean's burning tires unhealthy israel immunity vehicles with stones. this comes as palestinians express outrage at intensified policing by the idea as well as the demolition of our neighborhoods by israel forces maj, area africa, most populous nation, is preparing for presidential elections this saturday. and here on oxy, we're kicking off our special coverage of one of the world's most significant elections this year.
