something the be so happened last week during the finance ministers, me die in bangalore. 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. apart from the g 20 foreign ministers meet, they're also going to be bilateral, that of course, we're going to keep a track all for our bottom as far as in the elk g, 20 presidency is concerned. it comes at a time of a global keels global flux, really where the world puzzles are divided or will the russia ukraine conflict. 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 at india, then there's going to be a type diplomatic, dancing act that will be required, of course. so today is going to be an informal r d not later in the evening,

but tomorrow is also a follow packed schedule. and of course we're going to keep track of that. now the race to take over the presidential reigns in nigeria has finally been called with the ruling parties come to that bowler to sing off to the main opposition hope holes in africa's most populous nation. with while the electoral commission declared, mister tinney bu, representing the center and left all progressive congress as president elect after he secured 37 percent of the ballot. that's 8 percentage points and millions of votes more than his nearest rival. former vice president a t to back car who claimed the election result kind was read the

a p. c. describe that reaction, the sour, grapes, and urged are by car, and also the labor party candidate, peter obee, to concede with long time kingmaker bullet to new the having already given his victory speech. ah, rosalie, home food that you have for me as well as the experience of a the election had been a key talking point of course, among nigerians for weeks in the build up and now after the folk debates still raging with the integrity of the coating process in the spotlight, newspaper stuns have become a focal point where people gather to chew over development. and there were quite a few to chew over. ortiz, corolla, tata reports from them. this is life from nigeria. it's never easy. and in lagos,

in particular, tough is the idea of the day. here on the busy ellen road, it's always thronging with the hustle and bustle of those making their way to and from work school and going about their daily lives. people you gather around newspaper spans, ready to i'd you, you down. no, my bit by lead has to be back on my map. i mean, it is when, when i was more how it wasn't with a news about is very important news. news news that live with live in north africa. the resolve of the lecture strickland. the question on every does he toyed in then get out with the vice dividend marketing strategy. you can see it has a life conference session with people. a lot of people let number of people come here by me and this will you can display. you can see if i've been displayed the

same thing for 2 decades. missed our davia has been opening up this newspaper stand and listening to the mostly the working class come and read the headlines and discussed amongst themselves the direction in which the had she's going. the turbulence ation then to get us of nigeria 202030 presidential and parliamentary elections have left no mouth close for what we saw in the leshandra. you know what you expected. that all was but got to be for like this guy there for you boys. it is what is really happening there are like if you just want to, if, if i don't want to come to my is don't, don't go do that. you know, we have, i hid 4 bowls that you may leave all the men issues of the off. what do you know, what is really going on? i control this bit by okay, look at the celestial, know all know what this election. but in this age of exhibition of them being 1st and on social media,

how does he think that the nigerian journalism has conducted itself during this most tenuous of election thieves? well, newspaper outlet out live, the much more accessible. so so media and it's cohort is already address no dimensional media. you said fit to the concrete one because the people, the 100 to sound media, not provision of the don't miss davia himself, if not just a newspaper merchant but a journalist for over 37 years. nothing can drown his passion and thought he has them. of others who have the tradition to gather round newspaper stands to guarantee a national discussion. got ability to fill out a t, lagos, nigeria, ah, the law and manual micron is embarking on a 5 day tour to africa. but many residents in the democratic republic of congo,

which will be his final stop, are making a clear the french president seemingly is not welcome. protesters gathered in the capital can shall set wielding signs, comparing my call to the m 23 in search seek group in the country, which has been on a rampage and eastern bordering regions. now, while the french embassy was spray painted with the messages, mccall get lost. similar sentiment has been growing across the continent with molly and bert keena foster also recently demanding the immediate patrol. burkina faso has revoked a 61 year agreement on military assistance with france. it comes after purposes i'm bassinger, i'm french troops pulled out of the west african country ortiz. no lou, who you can gay, can tell us more. look in a foster has indeed terminated a 1961 military assistance deal with france. and this, of course, coming in just

a few weeks off the, telling the french ambassador and troops backing its anti insurgency campaign to leave the nation. it seems like keener for, for, has had enough of any sign of colonialism that it, is that taking every measure possible to end these ties, at least at the military level. i think it's also important to note that attention with france at the political level in both nations have been accompanied by anti french demonstrations and social media criticism. so this has not to come as a surprise. it was expected. he, even though the expectation was not at this level, according to reports, the move, what marks a further downward spiral in relations, since the military toppled the peculiar elected president last year. and you'd remember that a few weeks ago, french president emanuel mac, ron did say he was awaiting clarification from booking for the transitional

president about this decision. so it seems like the decision came in as soon as they expected. so now we wait to see how president mccracken will deal with this since he is in the continent currently. ok from africa to the middle east, where a protest hover erupt. it in several is really cities including tel aviv. we're stunning grenades, helping fired demonstrators as they clash with the countries law enforcement. protesters blocked the main highway that links tell of even jerusalem waving flags and shouting anti government slogans. the raleigh's across the country broke out. does this really officials proceed with a controversial judicial reform? it includes the rights of ruling leads to limit the power of the supreme court, which currently access country on to the executive branch are correspond. maria furnished reports from there.

i with somebody with come up and his own interest is to avoid a. c system in israel, so he is trying to change the law and the rule of the world that instead of being

a democracy, will become a dictatorship that kind of them august with astonishment, mentorship, intelligence events or government demonstrations went out of control and turn violent on the protest class with police forces that power line against violating conditions of the mass, scattering police gas grenade easier about 11 people in the others were arrested later on it's been a been yahoo gate green lights to as severe drag down. we will not allow violence against police officers, the blocking of highways and the gross violation of the laws of the state. the right to demonstrate is not a right to anarchy. i give my full backing to the national security minister and the officers of the israeli police who are acting against lawbreakers who are disrupting israeli city daily lives. oh, just a pain. israel is happening with

failing to bring a snowy over. you made it, and they science a saudi, this is a must be some corrections. there must be some big relations. i'm worried about it. that's going to have all the power and it doesn't really matter if you're on the list of that i. i'm happy with her there on wednesday, the nasa israeli, a rating with

serving as the prime minister. that would be in minneapolis, a. a commercial bill that is aimed at the size in the special good be safe then appoints pedro garza with inside the country high for so for now. these bills are at their limit or it because they need more fall in the grading. a theory that fails will be a problem with a direct threat to the security of america. that's how the u. s. republican senator ted cruz has labeled

a decision by brazil to allow to iranian warships to darken rio de janeiro. the story quickly drew the attention of renowned journalists, glen greenwell at noon for breaking the edward snowden story, who run the alarm over, quote, us hypocrisy. we've been hearing for years that ukraine has the right to host whatever foreign militaries or alliances at once and russia has no say in it. yet ted cruz thinks he can dictate to brazil a country thousands of miles away, which ships at cam and cannot post on its soil. while washington house warned that both brazil on brazilian companies doing business with iranian ships are now in danger of quote, crippling sanctions under us anti terrorism laws. it's not the 1st time the u. s. has issued advice to south america's biggest country previously urging brazilian to rethink its diplomatic relations with tyrann. despite initially bowing to pressure from washington, brazilian president lou let the silva later agreed to allow the iranian ships to

dock, continuing a policy of maintaining good relations between the 2 nations. well, it's cross live now 2 political unless didier ortiz joining us from miami, florida. good to have you on the program. so ted cruz to describe the docking of the iranian warships as a threat to u. s. security high. right, is he he is now right at all. the american people's security is based on what happens in here way, whether we regulate trains, whether we regulate air transportation, whether we address crime, both blue collar and white collar. those are the things that keep american safe. even a ryan ship ports in rio de janeiro has nothing to do with us. the fact of the matter is that the united states government uses the name of the american people. and there are safety, which is important, of course,

but uses the name of that safety in order to exert its imperialist politics. it's dominant. politics wants to maintain unit polarity in the world. and so he must use whatever excuse it can at this moment. national security in order to impose upon brazil what he should or should not do within its own borders. imagine a brazil said, actually we don't want you to have business with a country that we dislike and we are ordering. you and i do. so how would americans react, how would the senator ted cruz react? that cruises real intentions at the end of the day have to do with domestic politics and he wants to lease a certain sectors of perhaps conservatives that oppose the don. but the state of israel, but also south american and latin american conservatives in general, as we heard that quote from investigative journalist, glen greenwald, by the quote, had pock receipt of washington meddling in the firs of sovereign countries. would

you concur with that? certainly, you know, at the end of the day, one iranian ship in brazil is nothing like what nato is doing in europe. nato has provoked russia and as provoked and in fact, initiated a war to start in 2014 because that's really what happened. and yet, when russia national security inches, which are very legitimate, are brought up the senate congress, all the powers that be in washington, simply denounced, simply ignore rate or down play. but if the united states a real interest in what happens in the ports of rio de janeiro, certainly, russia has a real interest into what happens on its own borders. right? yeah, the waters, president lula went to washington. he met with joe biden, one of the things that by enough for was for really and ships not to be allowed to

dock seemingly little the syllabus said yes, but then later said, well, no, we're not going to do that on defied the pressure coming from washington. allowing the war ships to dock what comes from this now in terms of brazilian us relations? well, you know, president still, but like any practical statement doesn't want to provoke any other country or start as still with any other country. so in, in its trip to the united states of america, you certainly was not coming to buy it with a message. was he or breaking pies or trying to disrupt good commercial relations. he just wanted to meet with the president, get some agenda items in order and look forward to a more meaningful bilateral relationship. but he also understood, let us silva, and they understood that it can make the mistake of federal castillo,

which is simply to say, well, if we align with the u. s, and obeyed them like good boys, then they'll help us when we're in trouble. certainly castillo case has shown that you cannot trust the united states government to protect you and you shouldn't, because ultimately, you should rely on your own people to support. it's an intriguing issue though, isn't it? because they're being talk of the u. s. losing influence in latin america, if they're seeing now not to be able to to pressure a brazil yet to do this as regards the really war ships. what happens then because they, they won't want to to lose influence. but if brazil stands up, where does that lead? what's the roll on effective that? you know, a brazilian president syllabus has already propose that digital currency call this soon in order to help integrate south america. and there's been states meant

throughout the region to have responded positively to that idea. because at the end of the day, it makes little sense that we should have all the small currency or so noble to manipulation, to sabotage. we cannot make warfare. and so brazil standing up in brazil proclaiming the protagonist and the true independence is sovereign south. america will have a tremendous effect on the world affairs south americans and have relations with russians. we chinese people with indian, with the iranian people of any country because they are their own sovereign nation any longer, just a quick word preferred if you will on the quote, crippling sanctions that brazil could face or stand by washington. if that's the case, that punishments come up recently. what kind? what kind of consequences does that have on political economic levels?

well, if there are quibbling, sanctions levied on the resilient people certainly will make life harder for brazilians. i certainly would not want to see them put this economic blockade on brazil that cuba suffers because that would mean a lot of suffering is poverty. we mean a lack of access to food and medicine. it would also mean in fact, on the culture and history of brazil, because all of american media will be played with anti resilient rhetoric and wouldn't salt them at all levels. just like in china, as you may know, the american media chest base is china, all levels governmental, economic, cultural, at any level. so i would expect to see anti brazil rhetoric on all the mainstream corporate media, as well as to lose perhaps a few of economic refugees of people leaving brazil because they are looking for a way to survive and hopefully doesn't come to that sanctioning brazil would to the

scales, of course. so the geopolitical balance enlighten america. and i don't think that the united states is that right now at a point where they could wage crippling sanctions on brazil. i hope they're not silly enough to do that. ok, we wait to see if they are to the a. thank you very much. political analyst, video ortiz live from florida on the program. thank you. the, the dental from a shipwreck off the southern coast of italy is rising now, reaching 67 people with children among the victims. while the ship, which was carrying migrants broke up at the weekend rescue operations are still underway in the search for survivors or t contributor ritual. morrison takes off the story pot between disastrous foreign policies of the west that up and at target countries. and on the other side, europeans were increasingly rejecting migration from the same countries are

unfortunately, the migrants themselves, including children. 15 of whom have now been recovered in this latest disaster after setting sail from turkey and in capsizing just off the coast of italy's calabria. now each of these migrants reportedly paid between $58000.00 euros for traffic. hers is smuggle them into europe and now it's getting increasingly clear that tom, the trick carries a major risk of death. paying these traffickers to bring these people to europe. it's, there's no guarantee of anything, and there's certainly a risk of death. now these migrants include afghans, pakistani iranian syrians, somalis, so there are different places impacted by western foreign regime. change policies that mostly harms the average person. and italians don't want these people reaching their shores, which is why they elected right ring prime minister, georgia maloney last year. now the italian parliament passed

a new law on february 23rd to fine charity rescue ships up to 50000 euros or even block them if they're caught hanging out in the waters looking for migrants to rescue. instead of sailing directly to an italian port without stopping, which is what they're supposed to do now. but the italian for a minister denies that the new law contributed to this latest disaster have listened to what he had to say. these are empty exploitations by those who have so far failed to offer real alternatives to illusionary journeys of hope that put human lives at risk. there was no delay. those who relate this tragedy to the new rules out of ignorance or bad faith or line. it is a path where n jo's have never been. in any case, the new law does not provide for any ban on the presence in recovery scenarios or interventions. we limit ourselves to subjecting them to a regulatory framework that is also of international importance. this is really not a very good look for the european union,

which is always preaching about human rights and humanitarianism, and is now trying to distance himself from this disaster. it's a clear case of the total lack of foresight on the part of europe when it engages in foreign wars or sanctions appendix countries while failing to consider the long term consequences of the actions that it takes on these people. so in this case, that means migrants coming to europe to escape the misery, and then clashing with european citizens and who are fed up with it. and the policies that come as a result of that now a spokesperson for the e commission is talking like the you is trying to divorce itself from italy's treatment of migrates. have a listen. the e u commission has a very clear policy when it comes to asylum and the right to asylum. people who find themselves in a dangerous situation have a legitimate right to seek asylum in a safe country, including the countries that make up the you. the united nation says that the new italian law a result in loss lives and doctors without borders,

has already seen one of it, ships find and blocked for 20 days. as a result of the new law, its director of programs in italy also commented on the humanitarian tool, directing his anger specifically towards maloney and her interior minister. i say this with the respect that is due to the victims with grief for what happened and also with the firm intention as requested by premier maloney not to speculate on these tragedies. but we cannot help but say with anger that the 1st statement by prime minister maloney and minister piano dosier little more than a sad, blamed game, yet another slap in the face of the victims and survivors of this tragedy. so let's cut to the chase and put this tragedy. and as i, in the proper context, this situation can really be attributed to italy's lack of courage and spine to stand firm against nato's bombing and coup d'etat of libya in 2011. so

12 years ago, they didn't want to at 1st, they didn't want to participate, but french president nicholas whose eat twisted their arm into participating in that operation. after then, secretary of state hillary clinton of the united states twisted sar cozies arm. so a chain reaction of arm twisting results in italy bang, dragged into it, and italy was worried that the french, by going in with the military footprint, would he jacked italy from its traditional resource rich stomping ground and former colony if it didn't participate as well? so they over through libyan leader lamar gadhafi, who warned on french television pretty much.
