coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel, bob. it's here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. the leadership baran in saudi arabia have agreed to resume diplomatic relations and reopen their embassies. the statement comes after top. officials from both countries held talks in beijing. now the states foreign minister will meet to implement the decision and make the necessary arrangements and assign their ambassadors. here's our chief contributor, use of drill ali with more on the development. great news for the middle east and the whole world as iran and saudi arabia. finally decided to break the ice and resumed their diplomatic ties. after several years, after 7 years of frosty relations, all the agreement came on friday and it was reached and the chinese capital beijing . after several days of intensive negotiations between our secretary of iran's

supreme national security council and he shabani and his mom, saudi counterpart, and the chinese capital beijing, of course on saudi arabia, severed his diplomatic ties with iran back in january 2016 after angry iranian protestors toward the saudi embassy into iran following the real was execution of rock top shia cleric nibbler boggart and member. and that led to the end of the diplomatic ties between saudi arabia and iran. were the 2 sides closed there embassies in the 2 countries or of course. so now this new development is very promising is a promising step towards ensuring stability and security and peace in the middle east. as the 2 sides have been always at loggerheads when it comes to many regional issues. after the rise and the emergence of dodge terrorists, isis terrorists in the region, and the chaos that took place inside syria and iraq,

the 2 sides have been on different fronts, of course. and when it comes to the saudi war on yemen, iraq, back when you have any, a sour, la movement and a want backs, political resolution to the you have any conflict, while the saudi arabia has been attacking yemen. so those issues will be result following been agreement between we off and to juan. so this very great step and we heard that the 2 sides decided to reopen their embassies. within the next 2 months, chinese president shing paint makes history as the country's 1st leader to be elected for a 3rd consecutive term. it was a unanimous decision by the national parliament in beijing president. she was already served in the post for a decade, is now set for another 5 year term and also secured his position as the head of china's central military commission. following the election, he confirmed his oath of allegiance to the country and its people. issue. i pledge

to be allegiance to the constitution of the people's republic of china and safeguard the constitutions. authority fulfill my legal obligations be loyal to the country and the people be committed and honest in my duty except the people supervision and work for a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful. i, gigi, pe, take this oath. i was right at the great hall of the people this morning to with this of this is jordan all night and i talked to some, some of the deputy there. and many of them i said they are very so excited to witness this norman, especially those from the grassroots, such as those from the remote villages or mountainous areas because they are a mom. those who care really feel are the changes at the chinese society better

than most talking about priorities. i think definitely are to boost the economy. would definitely be one of his priorities ahead. but also i think like at other topics, a green economy green development. ah, in like science and technology development are also on the top again of the central government under present. she's gotten talking about on china. russia ties and made a sweeping western sanctions imposed on russia. and china has actually rented the accurate exports of an energy, including like natural gas, oil and coal, to china, as well as its agricultural products. and also, as we know that in 2019 china and russia jointly set the goal of their bilateral trade, reaching $200.00 billing us dollars by 2024. so, a lot to expect, of course, at the same time, china is also using, you know, increasingly strong rhetoric when it comes to china, us relations,

you know, it's worth noting that the foreign minister and she's gone directly worn designer us relations are in a very difficult situation during the pressure of a few days ago and says firmly that if the religion is keep going down in his path and that the u. s. doesn't hit the breaks, there would definitely be confrontation and conflict. and that vision would nod, remain silent if the u. s leonard or attack could so very strong, worse. but on the other hand, like what has mentioned by foreign ministers, she's gone. it's also very important to forged that is a strong ties with the, to the worst to largest economies. french president emanuel my crone and british prime minister re she soon act have agreed to train ukrainian marines tell, give, gives force, it's an advantage. and the battle against russia. a statement came and a joint press conference between 2 leaders in paris. we've agreed to train

ukrainian marines helping to give ukraine a decisive advantage on the battlefield and for ukraine to win this war. we will jointly explore the development of complex weapons like air defense, combatants and long range weapons will skid mclinn. our goal is to help ukraine conduct a counter offensive that it wishes to conduct of a waste head for my part that our prospect was indeed that they should be a last thing built. forge and conditions that ukraine will choose. and all duty is to place it in that situation when french president, a mandarin mac, ho hosted british prime minister re she soon knock all day on friday here in paris at the eighty's a presidential palace. it was the 1st time since 2018 that the u. k and france had such a meeting, there was so much friction between mac hall and both former prime minister morris johnson and his successor of about 5 minutes list trust that trust at one point couldn't even say whether michael was a friend or foe. remember also,

downing street said last june, that there was a lot of friction with johnson entrust, who was foreign affairs secretary at the time over michael's insistence on negotiations for ukraine over prolonging armed conflict. but these 2 former investment banks, tre. bros ross childs and michael and rishi who worked for golden sacks got straight down to business of doing what banks turbos do you best fall in line behind the establishment agenda. they tossed a huge bone to the military, industrial complex, talking about jointly developing long range weapons and air defense. they also said that they'll cooperate on training ukrainian forces. just last month michael was promoting the idea of peace through negotiations. i don't think like some that russia should be totally defeated, attacked on a soil these observe as want above all to crush russia. this is never been francis position and it never will be the talking. why now among western nations is that

ukraine hass when on the battlefield and that piece isn't possible until keith is sitting on the largest possible pile of weapons. only then we'll ukrainian president vladimir zalinski being a good position to get the best deal with russia. they say sounds more like it's the western weapons industry that's holding out for the very best deal on maximum sales. speaking of which washington has reportedly now delivered some patriot weapon systems to ukraine, but is openly admitting their limitations against russia's arsenal. the patriot missile system is really designed to go after ballistic missiles and it's, it's not as effective on cruise missiles and it's certainly not going to be effective against drones. france also dis secured, just under half of 1000000000 pounds sterling. so about $580000000.00 us dollars over 3 years from british taxpayers to top of migrants. literally to tackle them probably that is before they get to british shores,

after which there is no word on any kind of an agreement as to whether they'll even be sent back to france or what will happen to them all those millions will also be used to build the detention center on the french side of the english channel without budget, frankly, it should rival vast sy, michael also got in a job about how brags it is the source of quote, all the problems we have between the u. k. france and the you. well yeah, because that's what happens when the people impose borders through brags it around their own country. the. busy gillis simply tried to erase. suddenly the globalist just can't have things exactly like they want them and impose them on people in an uncontrolled manner like migration, maybe stop stoking foreign wars if you don't have problems with the population displacement in your own backyard. unfortunately, judging by their increasing militaristic position, these 2 leaders have now taken on the conflict in your brain that really doesn't

look like they've learned very much on that front. washington's controversial inflation reduction act and how it could impact europe was a key focus of talk. as the new chief ursula vander lion met with president biden at the white house for more on this. let's cross live now to our to correspondent in new york. caleb mop and caleb, it's good to see you. so the e. u. she came to washington with her concerns. but do you think she'll be happy with what she heard from joe biden? well then one, listen to what was said by the european leader who met with the president of the states that a time the countries are more or less having a subsidy trade war. one will notice that there was a superficial friendliness that went on the youth. she referred to partnering with the united states cooperation around l and g liquefied natural gas. and it was

only in a very shy way that she referred to the elephant in the room, which is that inflation reduction act, which is going to have a very negative impact on the european union and the economy of european countries . it was brought up in a rather shy way years, but that under that i use or our question was why is the heart of the your own goes to a plan today? i think little to discuss the fashion reduction. and i think it's great that there is such a magic when we acknowledge now the inflation reduction act will be de vesting in the pay, taking investment away from europe. it'll be have less innovation in europe. i'm. it'll also lead to fewer jobs for europeans. and it's, it's quite a dramatic, dramatic move on and also mandates made it usa only for certain deals. and it

basically forces the european union to cooperate with united states in ways that are pretty detrimental. ah, now when the 2 leaders were speaking, they did emphasize that they both want to make russia pay for what they're calling in atrocious. busy more i, however, as one looks beneath the surface at the european union, one can see increasing number of countries that are starting to side with russia. here's what's going on. that wasn't acknowledged in the room. over the past year, the number of countries actively condemning russia has fallen from 131 to 122 to some emerging economies has shifted to a neutral position. the number of neutral countries has risen from 32 to 35. now representing nearly 31 percent of the global population, some previously western allied countries, including colombia, turkey, and cattle have moved into this category as that governments is seeking to reap

economic benefits from engaging with both sides. now these leaders can make nice in front of the camera, but everyone knows about the inflation reduction act. everyone knows about the tension between the countries and the united states, the economic pressure that has been placed on the you. so one has to ask how much this kind of photo op style publicity meeting will really change things? it certainly. 3 certainly tried to give the impression that there was no trouble in paradise. that's not the case. everyone knows it are t corresponding caleb mop and thanks so much for that update. and president biden is claiming americans feel more secure about their future as the jobs created during his administration of pushed unemployment rates to near record lows. overall, we created more jobs in 2 years, and any ministrations created the 1st 4 years last month, plus reg,

remain near the lowest level in 50 years, 50 years. and that's really good news. people who are staying out on the job market . this is particularly good news, are now getting back into the job market by then the be to assessment. recent research shows a 4 times increase and the number of job cuts compared to the 1st 2 months of last year. what february's data alone, reaching a 2009 layoff record the tech sector accounts for more than a 3rd of all redundancies. so to go further in depth on this last cross live now to professor of banking and economics, richard warner, professor, it's great to have you on the program today. so biden says that the economy is on the right path. but would you say that that really is the case given the statistics about record layoff? yeah, exactly. so his statement is not really an accurate reflection, but then he's a petition. and so what has to take that with the patient?

so the signs that they come, i mean slowing at the same time, there's some other mixed signals at the moment. the picture is not very clear, but it is clear that compared to the, the, the boon driven by the massive monetary expansion of 2020 things are slowing. and at least for the moment as much a policy is hyphened significantly, particularly quantitative terms. and so that is likely to cap inflation pressure, which, which has come off a little bit, but for domestic demand, for a positive and therefore, and yes he's, he's probably over stating his case. and so does it make sense then that unemployment is on the rise when, according to bite in his administration, has created a record number of jobs just given the situation that we're in all around. yes,

well it just shows that the unemployment statistics are not really very transparent . in this case, it goes against the government story. the official is actually an understatement of actual unemployment. that is often helping the government but it depends on essentially the movement of people in here, from inside the workforce to out of the workforce, or vice versa. usually when the economy goes into it down and what happens is there's a lot of people that give up session for a job on the countess. and that's one way of keeping unemployment down and, and we're going to see in coming months. but at the moment, yes, the unemployment figures do reflect slow down that is also visible. so others

testing. now i also want to ask you about what's going on with the tech sector right now. i mean, it seems like every week we have new reports, whether it's google, apple, twitter, talking about these massive layoffs. what would you say is going on there? and how would you explain that to be average person? yes, it is part of the significant quality of the us economy and the stick, the county has really been in the monetary policy of being screen in 2020. we had literally the biggest monetary expansion in post war history for the us. and therefore, what's now happening is sort of a reaction against that. okay, that makes sense. and i appreciate you breaking that down a little bit. now, when it comes to creating new jobs,

do you see that as an efficient solution to the current economic strains that the u . s. is under, or is it merely just whistling into the wind? at this point? it is how these jobs are created. also, what the jobs are they from the job school, you know, 0 on very sort of precarious jobs. no. the best way and most serious way of helping the economy is to create real stable longer jobs. and that usually happens in the private sector when small firms in particular because they're the biggest employer received sufficient funding from the banking sector. the u. s. has an advantage over many other countries such as k, in that it has many, many small local community banks. and they tend to lend to the small firms that

tends to create a lot of jobs. so the mechanism the making, this was that the u. s. got, and we here in the banking sector just recently. there is a significant amount of spring just today, a sizable bank in the top 20 in the west, his whole lives. silicon valley bar was taken over by the regulators. so where the structure is in place to help the u. s. economy. namely the banking system. that's where we also seem to have enormous breast. now that the story behind this is that, and the recent interest rate rise has created paper losses on banks on portfolios. that doesn't need to be appropriate to regulate. it doesn't want it to be a problem because the banks don't realize those losses. so i'm actually quite concerned

why they're allowing this to be to become a problem. and sometimes regulators. they want to be tougher and they allow these things to be a problem is not good timing. so there's also problems in this area. a lot of moving parts there. unfortunately, we are going to have to leave the conversation right there, but professor richard warner. thank you so much for your time and insight. thanks very much. thank you. ah, to the ukrainian conflict now where according to russia's defends ministry over the last day, 9 americans supplied high mars rocket launchers have been hit, and most will ukrainian military vehicles. destroyed ortiz igor shadonna. as in the dawn, bass, as intense fighting is waged on the front lines and brings us this report. tulips, corn flowers, carnations hyacinths. delicate symbols of affection and normal life. here these names are harbingers of death.

ah, windshield gun was an innocent. ne hyacinth packs a monstrous punch. if you've run out of luck and been designated as its target, you better run fast and far. the intensity of the work depends on the situation on the front. we're both day and night. there are no fixed hours here. it takes about a minute and a half to side, the target, open fire, and eliminated this detachment is part of rushes, airborne troops the hun down there. pray from up to 30 kilometers away. convoys command h q's and enemies own big guns top their target list. if you open fire with the fragmentation effect,

the shrapnel spreads over 200 to 300 meters. this gun is very powerful and accurate has been able to take out the lead vehicle in a convoy a tank was the 1st shot. they cover infantry advance in the criminal forest. their ukraine's ranks have grown thinner, partly due to heavy casualties. partly because key of command had to transfer some troops to the south, where the back moved, battle rages on that the wagner company is gradually shutting down the last lifeline that still available for ukrainian troops. they've been reduced to one road and it's already

almost a bog. vehicles have to slow to cruel and become an easy targets for hire since like this one. ah. catch 22 for the generals and key if bar moved has become too symbolic to just pull out yet saving it means exposing other parts of the front. amid rushes, relentless push. i'm again done of reporting from the dumbass tucker carl set as more used to questioning the news rather than making it. but the fox news host is at the center of many a headline right now over his take on the capitol hill riots. he's even called out the us attorney general. it was a violent attack on

a fundamental tenant of american democracy. over a 100 officers were assaulted on that day. 5 officers died. 5 officers died on that day. that's just not some guy and twitter, that's the attorney general of the united states. that's a man who's honesty is central to his job. we had a choice between i q and integrity in an attorney general. of course you go with integrity because it's essential. but joe biden's, attorney general marker on is a liar. he just lied about something that is provably false. who are these 5 officers who were quote, killed that day? well, just to set the record, stay straight. the death of 5 officers are connected to the january 6 ryah's, but none died on that actual day. the 1st was brian sick, nick, who died of a stroke the day after the riots later that same month, 2 more officers howard leaving good and jeffery smith committed suicide. and

a year and a half later officers kyle day free check and gunther. her sheeta also took their own lives. tucker carlson has also been accused of airing selective clips from security footage to portray the rioters as peaceful visitors. let's just remind you of the events of january 6, 2001 a mob of protesters who disputed donald trump's defeat in the presidential election storm. the u. s. capital building and occupied it for several hours. local security forces are completely overwhelmed and the military was eventually called in to call the unrest. one person was shot dead inside congress while several others also died . during the incident, almost 200 people were arrested. the riot was branded an insurrection and led to trumps impeachment. for more on the cross live now to form or vice chair of the libertarian party arvin for our event is great to have you on the program today.

now we heard from senator chuck schumer, who said that tucker carlson, use selective clips from the footage to build a false narrative of the attack. so who's now manipulating the facts here? so whenever you were ready, look at the online video, you see something very interesting, which is that a lot of the video footage focuses on the reaction to the riot or the supposed ride rather than to the actual rise themselves. so for example, you see footage of, of senator is rushing from one way over one area to another or, or, or a police officers moving senators from one area to another. but that just shows the reaction that doesn't actually show the thing that led to the reaction. so we're thing selective footage really on all sides of this, of this issue. and we know that certainly not unusual when you're talking about politics. however, this is one of those cases where it's a very divisive situation,

no matter which way you look at it. so what do you make of the u. s. attorney general's comments? do you think that he deliberately lied or dismissed, spoke or even misunderstood the reality when it comes to the officers who died following january 6, who were involved there? whether he lied or whether he didn't know the truth is kind of immaterial. and your job is attorney general is to know the truth. and if you represent false information, claiming ignorance doesn't work. and this is a classic part of basic political ethics and morals ethics. for example, if a surgeon doesn't know what he's doing, he's not supposed to operate, you know, thing. i don't know what to do the surgery, so i killed the person is not no excuse. and the same thing applies to an attorney general. it is your job to know the real situation. you can't just say whatever you want. and this is become very, very common left wing tactics in united states. progressive faxing, that base, for example, whenever the, the progressive side tries to talk about guns,

statistics. they talk about the number of gun deaths leaving out, for example, the fact that more than half of those that are suicide. and so this sort of bone chilling violence that people are talking about in these various areas is not happening in the way that is being either directly stated or very, very strongly applauded. yeah, that's definitely something to keep in mind. now speaking of someone who's not left wing, why do you think that tucker carlson is facing such a huge backlash despite the right it taking place 2 years ago, i mean, we know the people who see this footage are already going to had their minds made up and a lot of cases. so why do you think that there's so much of a reaction to what he is put out there? i mean as a major or he's a major political figure, he's a major media influencer. so, so the stage, the size of reaction to what he says is, and i mean, not even slightly unusual. he's, it's very common for him to draw a very strong reaction. but the nature of the reaction is very interesting,

because if this was simply a question saying he's incorrect, then the solution is just put forth whatever video you want or whatever actual facts you want to show that he's incorrect. there there's nothing more that needs to be made of it, but the depth and nature of this respond really big question of what exactly is it that the other side is the word about? yeah, certainly a lot of questions here and we'll continue to follow to see exactly where this story goes. are going for a former vice chair of the libertarian party. thanks so much for your time and analysis. thanks for me on and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the our shoes in.
