[000:00:00;00] ah mm ah, with moscow in new delhi are consistent opponents of such neo colonial practices as illegitimate unilateral sanctions threats. blackmail, russia has called different amounts, took it off, highlighting the importance of strengthening intercultural dialogue within the g 20 group to find answers to the challenges the world is currently facing. today. questions are raised about the integrity of nigeria, the electoral system. as the ruling parties, candidate naturally secures victory in the presidential election. done grenades of fire as protests in gulf, more cities around israel, the anger over the new governments,

judicial reforms with will, there's an awful lot of moving and shaking on a geopolitical chest or today. and before we joined by a very special guest here in the studio, there's our for now will be go straight to new quote. russia and india stand against neo colonial practices. are those words from us? okay. allow for off after meeting with his counterpart in new delhi, it's a, a conference say with g. 24 administers, kicking off. must learn you really frustrated with the new moscow in new delhi, are consistent opponents of such neo colonial practices as illegitimate unilateral sanctions threats. blackmail, and other types of pressure on sovereign states. there is no doubt that the strengthening of intercultural dialogue within the group of 20 objectively contributes to the maintenance of trust or move the joint search for effective

answers and look to the numerous challenges of our time. if this is a worthy response, took those who would like to abolish the culture of countries? they do not like you goodman. let's okay lever off. as i finished off a bilateral meeting with his brazilian count about monro vieira came off to private, talked with turkey a stop diplomat, but also the indian for minute, for whose ultimately hosting this conference, a rogers foreign minister highlighted why in moscow and new daily stand together which he described as a privileged strategic partnership, straight to deli. now without the correspondence, laundrin sharma, russian foreign minister, allow raw reach you delhi leave last night and his visits. he's extremely significant in the backdrop of growing up by law from tries between new delhi and ma school. now, of course, so as far as treat between the 2 countries is concerned, or all the factors as well, we seeing that one of all time high. but for the agenda for the foreign minister

will meet this week, really is multilateralism food and energy security. also developing cooperation need for reforms for november, more the government to show leadership on. but of course, there are challenges that lie ahead for india to ensure the global fall words they really keep their focus on long term issues. for example, climate change of force, food and, and g crisis that several countries are seeing right now. the continuing effects of the fan demik also, for example, rather than the transitory issue with all such conflicts and global upmanship, something that be so happened last week during the finance ministers, me in, bang lou, there was no consensus there. something that also remember happened in our g 20 summit in bali last november. now of course, so as far as this visit is concerned, it is extremely significant to fall from the g. 20 foreign ministers meet. they're

also going to be bilaterals, that of course we're going to keep a track all saw about as far as in the r g. 20000 been to us concerned. it comes at a time of a global kills global flux, really where the world paul, both all divided all the russia ukraine conflicts. and therefore it becomes a little tricky for india. but like the prime minister of the country said it wants to play the role of a problem solver. also, of course, in the all of them, there's going to be a time to play magic balancing act that will be required of school. so all today is going to be an informal o d not later in the evening, but tomorrow is also a fall will fact schedule. and of course we're going to keep a track with the fact. all right, let's get on the very latest now. from nigeria, it's presidential election where the ruling parties, candidate bola, to nubile, has clinched a narrow victory over 2 opposition hopefuls and africa's most populous state. however,

questions have been raised about the results of the vote with the electoral commission has declared mister canoe from the center left. all progressives, congress party, as the president elect, he got a 36 percent of the votes. well, that's just 7 percentage points higher than it's runner up. it has fuel claims, the election may have been rigged. now to boot, contends the election was credible, and expressed his gratitude to supporters in a victory speech. ah, lay home food that you have for me. as the safety of a mr bullet to know who

wins the most contest that by far the most acrimonious of elections here in africa's largest democracy. in recent times, people here are really over the machinations of how far we have come with regards to some of the complaints that have been roy dean, legitimizing this elections. and they're going as far as to say that they're hoping for a move post this acrimonious us elections. and they're hoping for a better economy. they're hoping for more money in their pockets. they are hoping that they will move on. that interval wins this election with a very, very fine and narrow margin of victory. having won some 8700000 volts. rich have which will cost here. mind you, me. this was a country that had some 92000000 voters here that were registered,

but only 24000000 vote was said to be valid. miss daniel, who was closely followed by optic, who abaca who won just on the 7000000 votes here. and he was representing the peoples democratic party. and they were followed by the labor party which only managed some $6100000.00 of votes here. but one thing is, certain as much as nigerian laws stipulate that a candidate must win 25 percent of $24.00 states, that's at least 2 thirds of the states. it also stimulates that the winning candidate must attain 25 percent of the f. c t. the f c t is the federal capital, a territory, and that is where most attainable has fallen

a shot. we expect the opposition to go to court. we expect the opposition to decry the fact that this was not a free and fe elections. to say that vote is way intimidated that they did not see transparency. and also that the results from the fed to polling units that were sent to me that were meant to be transmitted electronically. because of the new bio matrix system that was to ensure that we have a fe electorate that they were not transmitted to the i next server in a boucher and therefore the credibility of this particular set of results remains in question. a former british foreign secretary has insisted that western nations new to sunday, even more weapons to ukraine in order to fight russia. he made those comments to repair of russians. renowned for eliciting candid remarks from politicians. they had to form a diplomat thinking that he was speaking with ukraine's former president,

petra potter shak. but now the judgment has to change a thing too. i wrote this week to include longer range missiles. i mentioned a specific type of missile could be supplied. and of course tanks should this apply to from germany and elsewhere, and i think some fighter aircraft as well. the brits will not change it policy without the united states without agreement of the united states. so the, the key decision is still in washington. this isn't just the form or a foreign secretary, just dishing out his opinion in that clip. he actually says that he spoke to the current foreign secretary, the defense secretary, the prime minister of the u. k. and he said that they all agree that they need to arm ukraine some more. they need to supply some more weapons bought that they need

to convince all the countries to follow suit or in particular who the united states . because as he said, they are the ones that make all the key decisions when that comes to this conflict in ukraine. and he said that that is the only reason why latter mirrors lensky traveled to the united states in december. because that those are the people making those critical decisions. so again, we can see what is happening behind the scenes. and what's incredible is that in that clip, rory, he also mentioned how it would be ideal if there was a military coup in russia bots. he says that is highly, highly unlikely. there are of course, voices of reason out there in the united states, not many rory, but there are some and some who are encouraging peace and returns to the negotiating table and no more supplies of weapons. and that america needs to back down from this. i'm completely against the war in ukraine. i want to see it come to

an end. i want russia and, and crane to come to peace talks and end this war. but, you know, who's driving it, it's america. american needs to stop pushing the war in ukraine. marina. what can we say about the european politicians at this point? i mean, are they all on the same page with washington? there aren't on the same page, but at the same time, we cannot. how many on the same page? because some i would assume are afraid to speak out because what happens when countries do speak out, serbia, for example, it has refused to follow washington's our policies. and now we heard from the president of serbia himself, alexander, which, who said that he is being forced to follow washington's lead. basically on a similar could mean every one is in a rush to go on the offensive. they're in a hurry to get results, but no one is asking why. they told me to have a war in europe to publicly. they did not admit that. they say we will lose everything if we don't step in line. and then they say that they want peace,

but their peace and their peaceful solution is basically russia weakens and defeated, they don't see any other way. and the way they see it happening as, let's arm kia with as many weapons as possible so that we can reach the sort of negotiated solution. so we must give you credit what the need to prevail. some worry our support to ukraine, risks triggering escalation. but there are no risk free options. and the biggest risk of all is if president putin wins just in the past 24 hours or so, i was watching a video of ukrainian president zalinski, essentially saying that soon america will have to send its sons and daughters to fight in ukraine unless he has said they will die, god forbid. and we already know that the tie this change in the united states and was he in more and more people speaking out against all that money that has been poor then?

so ukraine and we don't even know where that money is. go into because they don't have anyone checking who is getting that money where the weapons are going. what the civil does not saw one year of this conflict in ukraine. america has spent more in one year than they did in 20 years in afghanistan and iran. you put that, can you get your head around that and well know how that ended? ah, yes we do that is a marina cause or a right there? well, i'm rory sushi here in the studio with independent geopolitical analyst. em renowned author legendary author pepe escobar. so good to have you. well as a very warm, well as pleasure to be back at the studio, i get back in moscow for a few weeks. you've been going around seeing the sites that all one of your audience recently you are summing up how everything is running pretty much normally you are saying, ah, yes, i'll be here for less than 3 days. and my 1st day i went on an epic, a 6 hour trip around moscow with him. and i didn't see any crisis. yeah. yeah. and it was a shock, of course, and ever seen working perfectly supermarkets, delisa,

goma, and the people that i met on the way fascinated conversation because i had a sort of multi polar world encounter. i even found, for instance, a georgian ukrainian lounge singer, born in the mask. well look in, we had a wonderful conversation. you are one of the frontline pioneers, all this multi polar world that we are all moving into these days. now, just let us get down to the, to the nuts and bras. here. russia is being sanctioned by 15 percent of the world. mean time, you've got the s, c o, r c on bricks. you've got these groupings of the global se coagulation. it's these groupings of strategic family alliances between certain countries. bricks is very, very important, but tell me about this, that multi polar world, peppy. is it an illusion, or is the west actually losing its grip? but it's actually been born, which is something that

a year ago we could not even imagine. so this is a direct consequence of the s and mo, the s a more accelerated up process that already existed at consolidation inside the shy corporation organisation, for instance, when they bring to iran as a full member consolidation of bricks when the chinese and the russia start sinking when 6 band bricks. so they came up with the concept of bricks plus and the 1st ones who actually conceptualized bricks plus where the russians and math. and of course, the aging for struck the investment bank, the chinese, the chinese, this year after their 0 cove, its policy. okay to 1023 when it's a new dr. for the beltran road initiative, the new silk roads, of course, new governments in south america that are much more progressive than before. and very, very important. the persian gulf is waking up and maybe they see it. they see that

something is happening around them. and they put their finger on it like maybe now it's our time to become protecting. pay that dining up on their own. 2 feet. exactly. protagonist. yeah. what today i was a fascinating discussion of deval di club including people from the persian gulf, including analysis for me, rockford, it's a completely different mindset compared to one year ago. exactly. now we see carter 2 white emeralds as saudi arabia. ok. we as part of g, c, c, we're going to be back on this week. we are, we are part of opec plus, but not only that will be part of bricks plus as well. they are all in line to join bricks. well it's, it's not just, not that, you know, it's almost like you could categorize these countries as the d. dollarization coalition. yes. but let me ask you this pepper. we have a conflict in ukraine right now. you've got rusher, essentially going up against the best of the west in the very unfortunate stage

ground of ukraine. but what people don't seem to realize is there is an economic conflict going on right now. this di dollarization, coalition of the countries you just mentioned, and potentially a new commodity backed currency regarding the bricks on these other countries that are all coming together. d, dollarization pepe it's accelerating. and this is the most important factor of ever seeing that it's been happening for the past year. by passing the dollars this discussion, we should not forget started inside the bricks, when lula was still the brazilian president. so this is 15 years ago and lula who gene towel and med vetted and putting and then med vendor. they start discussing about it, but they didn't have the mechanisms. and of course, the international framework to start working around. now we see, for instance, duration for nomic union, we set a gig allows you have forest, they are actually working on the design of

a new currency. they are talking to the chinese about it. the bricks started their own debates inside the bricks. so soon we're going to have a convergence of eurasia, economic union, sugar corporation, organisation, and brick. so say, let's sit all of us in our, in the same table with our different projects for a comma. if you back and go back currency, fully peppy. can they be bullied? yes. because against the western of had you on. not only they can be bullied, but sir. the people in the us in the financial market will read the awake to what's happening. oh, given examples zoltan posada, i am as strategies for kids suite. he was when he wrote a piece about it. wow. like everybody in new york in the financial market read and they said, oh my god. so this is the next thing, and we have to prepare for it. so can you imagine vanguard, state street, black rock, preparing for

a future without the dollar or with the new currency at designed in eurasia, at pepe how many central banks in the past couple years, and particularly the past one year with an increase. how many central banks right now are hoarding gold? wow. ah, i would say apart from the europeans, everybody, everybody is literally what's coming on. what is ending in the global south? i? well, it's an extremely complex process we. we cannot rush to judgment at the moment. what we do know is that the acceleration specially this past 6 months, in terms of a designing a new currency, are experimenting with how it's going to work. we have economists of top level economists like michael hudson already expand, exploring ways of making it work. and of course, the fact that if you design something inside eurasia it mac unions, you have to sell to people outside. it's

a very complicated process. so you have to sell it to the bricks. countries that includes countries in, in africa, or in south america, for instance, and to unify all these nations in a common project has to be absolutely sure fire. and we still don't know what's going to let you talk about the, you know, the china is the new version, the modern day version of the silk road. i'm, what is this in all these different countries getting of all this massive trade route? i mean by land it's by sea, and it's by national currency metric are absolutely, and i'll give you an example which is parallel to the chinese new soup rolls. it's the north south transportation corridor, uniting russia you run via the caspian in india, bypassing the swiss, come out. this is the norm was in tears in terms of creating a new trade route, which is new, super old as well. but it's not linked to china. it's better allow to china. so what are the people of the regime for nomic union saying,

let's unified them. let's, let's make it one big single project i know different quarter. there is of course, because we're talking about the trade core. there's china has at least 5 going from china to europe international, north, south stress, what they should call there is essentially $11.00 and a half if we include the caucuses as well. but it's basically russia. you run caspian india, but with ramifications because it can go via africa is done to central asia. you can go to the caucasus as well. so if you put this all together, you see a maze, a new nat, 3 network across erasure. you need to find every region, this is what if any of the paradigm and you feel try to discuss this in the west. so they don't even know what you're talking about. they're going to be this point. they're going to be left in the dust because apparently they're going to be so far behind. they're gonna miss the boat on this one, but by a, by all things considered. well,

europe is already right. europe is already missing the bolts, not only conceptually, but physically and intellectually, which is something that will never expect to see the 21st century peppy. less than we just don't have enough time. i'm going to have to break this off and bring it to a special military operation. ukraine right now. in fact, in fact, when i heard you are coming into the studio today, i'll tell some of my friends my friends are sending the questions to ask you. so one question for you here. my friend michael, who says, regard regarding ukraine, he said, given the length of the operation so far, what are your thoughts on an actually having been already planned as a one year off considering if it all ended early in may let's say we wouldn't have seen any of these revelations, all these biological laboratories in ukraine, neo nazi battalions, allegations of money laundering and weapons trafficking. a lot of the things perhaps would never have come out. yes. so that's one thing. but do, how do you see ukraine playing out now? well,

let's be extremely realistic. the only ones who know the ins and outs and the inner workings of the special military operation are the people at the top of the russian general staff. nobody else knows anything. is the famous hollywood dictate? nobody knows it. any thing, this is what you usually say, hollywood, of course, putting the national security council, but through chef and russian general staff. so the way they play strategic ambiguity, it's a master class. geopolitical and even joy, economic in many aspects as well. they are exhausting naples arsenals. they are exhausted, the patients of the west, and psychologically the burden on the west is debbie higher every day. they are not in a rush. ah, they are waiting for. i would say strategic openings along the front line that they

can profit to conquer territory, conquer regions, or at least destroy even more effective or that ukraine. an armed forces is going to go on, much longer to yes, it is going to go on much long. yes. you didn't see that or up, but there's no question about that at least 2023 certainly are on at least 2003 and 3 and a little bit of 2020 flow. does that chime in pepe with what the ukranian present? zelinski said just a few days ago he was, he was recorded and envision saying that because you know, he keep st. her america. when america sends all the weapons, he keeps saying there's not enough. i need more, i need more, i need more time. and he now in a fighter, right. it is that script but pepe answer. this zalinski was filmed saying soon the sons and daughters of americans will have to fight in ukraine and they will die. god forbid, that's exactly what he said. now when he said that comments got went viral and

a lot of people very upset when you think about the billions in cash being sent to ukraine or the weapons being sent, zelinski says is not enough. and now i want your children to come and fight in ukraine. what. how do you read that? there was a threat. then there was a threat from a cornered animal in a corner, an animal that doesn't know the mood of eternal public opinion in america, which they would never allow american troops in a country that has 0 strategic threats or benefits for the us. it's is never gonna happen. and of course as much as the i call him a crash shirt. best dummy, the man who reads teleprompters, he's not sir. in charge of any sing, as we know there is what i called the by the combo behind, including the toxic 3 that sy hersh proved almost to unambiguously. they

planned the bombing on nod stream one into sullivan blinking, and nolan desert, the rabbit, neil carnes, or nail liberal corns, as we call them, who are driving distance. absolutely psychotic. russo phobic american foreign policy. then when you discuss it with people, the old school practitioners in the u. s. like ray mcgovern or coronel mcgregor or larry jones. i sat that they are absolutely horrified, but what's going on? yeah, you mentioned nordstrom, just now pepe. yes. you think the truth will ever officially come out and do you think the culprits will eventually say, yeah, okay, you know what we did it of, unfortunately, not rory, unfortunately not because this would involve an internal nato event, nato investigating itself. number one, number 2, the you investigating itself. number 3, the german government investigating itself. number 4, the possibility of treason by sholtes von,

that lying and many others against the interests of germany and the you at the same time. and a number 5, the consortium, the not stream consorts of the companies could su heavily, the perpetrators of the bumping of nor stream into. so this is not good. we know it's not going to, but it wasn't, it wasn't just a russian pipeline. they will, australia, duchess, arranged for being companies involved in this is 2nd period. listen, i'm going to just bring up china for a moment here. china is getting a getting slapped off a lot in the western press right now. the western press is saying that china is potentially supplying military aid in some way or another to run no evidence in no evidence. that's right. but i think potentially i did it, but i was just going to say, you know, i mean if, if all of these nato countries and all these european countries of pumping ukraine, full of weapons, wouldn't it be, i don't know, fair, for an ally of russia to also help russia in the corporate,

or must russia not have a single kind of help from any of his potential ally? that's the perfect answer. and you provided that rory, of course everything that russia does is wrong, is absurd, is malign as they, as they love to say they mistake department lingle. and of course, in, in terms of you never see a direct definition anywhere across the space that i call meet those stand that this is a proxy war by the collective west against rush, you will never see that. and you'll never see that admitted that. you see it admitting that halfway by some month, a batch. it's crazy power here and there even better book here and there, but her i q as we know is like the, you know, so she's at the quiet part out loud. you said the quiet part of law, so she doesn't even know how to read the proper script. so this is,

this is what we've got in terms of western elite at the moment. and that explains, i would say to a large extent, why we are at this job political stage at the moment because the mid to your critique of these western political, it's as a whole from north america to western europe is something up. so i can imagine if all of me or how much schmidt were alive to they would be horrified now it's astonishing the way it's going and it's not being told to wrap this up. we have no more time, but i'm going to give you 22nd. ok seconds. tell our viewer right now what they need to know about this changing, multi polar, it's already happening is gonna take a few years. is gonna be consolidated before to $1030.00. ah, it is the starter ink practice of the eurasia century. and at the front line, we're going to have russia, china, iran, other crunch countries across the raising truly 30 in a very big role for

a countries in the portion gulf in india. world. you said it pepe escobar. legendary geopolitical alice, joining us a live on our tea international. it's always so good to see you. keep up the good work. i enjoy so much. thank you very my pleasure. thank. thank you. thank you. or protests have erupted and several is railey cities including tel aviv, where stun grenades have been fired at demonstrators as a class where the countries, law enforcement, i protest is blocked the main highway that connect hell of even jerusalem. or you can see the pictures right there centrally speaking for themselves, a lot of highlands to demonstrations across the country, broken out as israeli officials of proceeding with a controversial judicial reform. it includes the right of ruling. it leads to limit the power of a supreme court, which currently acts as a counter balance to the executive from 12. israel's prime minister has reacted calling the protests lawless. we will not allow violence against police officers, the blocking of highways and the gross violation of the laws of the state. the
