a decisive advantage on the battlefield with good morning and welcome to our t international course in life. just go on a and it's great to have you with this. i'm at home on let's take a look at the top stories this our iran and saudi arabia have agreed to receive diplomatic relations and reopen their embassies. and i deal broken by china, senior officials and both of those middle eastern countries have talks in beijing in an effort to bring the divide between those long time regional rivals. is archie contributor used to visually with more on the development great news for the middle east, then 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 shavani and his 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 protesters toward the saudi embassy into iran. following the rios execution of rock top shia cleric never bothered and member. and that led to the end of the diplomatic ties between saudi arabia and iran, were the 2 sides closed their 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 dash 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, they want backs a sour la movement and a want backs, political resolution to the you have any conflict while the saudi arabia has been attacking yet. and so those issues will be result following been agreement between the off answer on. so this very great step and we heard that the 2 sides decided to reopen their embassies within the next 2 months. live. now to discuss this more with one wing executive dean of the chung institute, finance will. so these are remy university of china. i'm so much for joining us

here today. ok, now how did iran and saudi arabia reach this? what i mean to revive the diplomatic relations and how significant is it really for this to happen now in the middle east? yeah, i think it's very important you bench in only middle east about also in china foreign policy. because because you know, for china, the exchanges between china and i'm, you know, used to have it a 2002 years and 2000 and years ago, the train a bit between china and we are used to created a c law. and a sheer did a development and asian human civilization. and now we can see that historical experience tells us that there was never been military conflict between china and middle eastern countries. so now china promote a new piece in the middle east. i think it's

a very, very big if you need to. i mean, why is that something that are interesting. i mean time is pretty much stayed away from the minis yet. broker. the deal was in it, beijing. the i think for, for beijing now, abby has played at least a 3 los one is a lot of peace cur. as we all know that 6 years ago in 2016 china leader, she's in jean beach resort saudi l. e. long to in college. a piece, the middle east, i mean, 6 years ago. and the last year in december, she thinking, mr. sorta and how the summit between among the leaders are china and country. and this year, these february, the iranian president, mr. china and also china advocates peas in the middle east. so i think and,

and the other things is that china now is promote the law of talk and development. china hopes that to not only the 2 countries, but also all the countries in the middle east could develop into by themselves. so i think nowadays, china played a more and more important rules. e, improving 40 at iran, merely ships as we are, as a middle east. well, i mean, that makes sense. so the, the one diplomacy and dialogue in the middle east that's for sure. look where we look at yemen. i mean, saudi arabia, iran, they've been to country that have been at a civil war for now about 9 years. are we likely to see, dear, politically, some stability in the region because of this agreement? now? i think, oh yes we are, we consent, the yemen shows very much we hope that they can achieve peace as well as possible.

so now we're china's a standpoint is very open. we hope that we and we are all we'll come or the country to who has a difficulty, can trust a china, the china can provide a platform for those countries. so who are conflict? why, why are we here? i mean, we have is quite interesting development. how things are shaping up around the world. we see a lot of tension between china and russia. of course russia, the us here we have russia live rovan, saudi foreign minister plus we had lloyd austin just the other day. clearly out of iran being u. s. and israel's number one problem in the middle east. i mean, is the middle east changing? is the world changing? are we seeing new alliances formed? we seem new trade partners formed of people moving away from the traditional us

deals and, and other hedge minis. i think in my opinion, the united states now more and more people know essays and main joy of deal regional instability and conflict, not only in the middle east, about also in eastern europe. cuz in the past 40 years, the united states has launched a lot of the was in the, in the world, especially in the middle east. so at least as in the middle east, at least one bidding of people have died under the fi of the united states. so now we had the only people know the water clearly. so carter hegemony opt you out. he stays should be end as soon as possible. wine plaza, and he is a thank you so much for joining us there. on

r t i going to speaking to you. thank you for your time. thank you. so when asked to comment on the development us present, joe biden seem to share focus to other countries in the region. what are your thoughts on saudi arabia and iran re re establishing diplomatic relations, sir? with some of the officials reacted positively to the new saying the revival of relation between iran and saudi arabia will promotes a broader piece in the region. the u. s. maintains closed tires with saudi re bought. members of the us congress have directly called for regime change in iran. the iranian regime must be taken out no more evil tyrants, whether it's the shaw or the leader. the u. s. congress has been preparing

a resolution to condemn the iranian government and support a protest move in the assault over throw it. it is the latest escalation intentions between the countries we heard from a professor of the university of toronto. he met the dia, the says regime change is a tenant of u. s. foreign policy. and you see that the united states basically has a dual vision, looks at other countries, ryan, or as enemies. and the definition were on enemies, the country that is, you know, systematically independent of the not it says on major domestic or foreign policy with the united states. that is the definition of any u. s. foreign policy in perspective. client and any empire is the reality of u. s. foreign policy. basically look back sensory, you see that, you know, the history of united this relations with the rest of the world has been filled

with these kind of this kind of mentality. the to take out the government that they have problem with. i think the was government will know for another time that regime change is not going to work in 21st century. yes, wasn't job one, has requested a record high amount of a call. so $886000000000.00 for the countries national security budget. thanks year . the vast majority of the request budget would go directly into the pentagon. this defense department wants to use that cash to tackle a perceived threat from china, as well as to provide aid to ukraine and funding for nato. the pentagon also seeks a counter quote, persistent threats coming from north korea and iran. over the

years, the u. s. defense department has been consistent, increase the spending. and the last 3 years, a budget has increased by 15 percent rising from $740000000000.00 to $858000000.00. some media reports a, the final sum of for 2024 could hit as much as $950000000000.00. we heard from, sorry, founders cook, director of the international action center. she says that washington is just going to spend more and more money on military equipment, this amount of money, the largest military budget of all time, exceeding any past military appropriation is a disaster for working people in the us and for people around the world. it is a catastrophic amount of sheer waste into militarism a $186000000000.00 and it will grow. it's not the end with the white house.

it sends to congress always grows by tens of billions of dollars, additional add ons cost overruns, what it would take to reverse it is working people in the u. s. and globally, really standing up to u. s. imperialism, it won't come from congress. the democrats and the republicans of vine with each other to add on more and more to the military budget, to pass it almost unanimously year after year. i mean, it really is a staggering and criminal amount. and as they say, this amount is meant to continue the war on russia and to plan for war on china, while at the same time threatening iran and countless other countries wasn't controversial inflation reduction and how it could impact europe was

a to focus a little on that i met with you as president job. one of the white house or the correspondent in new canaan picks up the story, one to listen to what was said by the european leader who met with the president of the united states at 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. now the chief, she referred to partnering with the united states cooperation around el, and gee, 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 economies of european countries with

technology, with a plan. now the inflation reduction act will be taking investment away from europe. it'll be, have less innovation in europe, and it will also lead to fewer jobs for europeans. and it's, it's quite a dramatic, dramatic move on and also mandates made in the usa only for certain deals. and it basically forces the european union to cooperate with united states in ways that are pretty detrimental. now when the 2 leaders were speaking, they did emphasize that they both want to make russia pay for what they're calling an atrocious war. 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. as some emerging economies has shifted to a neutral position, the number of neutral countries has risen from 32 to 35. now representing any 31 percent of the global population. some previously western allied countries, including colombia, turkey, and cattle, have moved into this category as a government to 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, i certainly tried to give the impression that there was no trouble in paradise. that's not the case. everyone knows it,

france and the u. k. have hell therefor summit in 5 years of british p. m. richey sooner canals in those countries have agreed to train ukrainian marines to achieve a, quote, decisive advantage in the conflict with russia. we've agreed to train ukrainian marines helping to give ukraine a decisive advantage on the battlefield and for ukraine to win this school, we will jointly explore the development of complex weapons like air defense, combat and long range weapons will skid. you can, i'll goal is to help you crane conduct a counter offensive that it wishes to conduct. i've always had for my part that our prospect was indeed, that they should be a lossing built forge and conditions that ukraine will choose. and all duty is to place it in that situation when french president him under and my co 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 i 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 and trusts who as foreign affairs secretary at the time over my calls insistence on negotiations for ukraine over prolonging armed conflict. but these 2 for investment banks, tre. bros ross childs and michael and richie 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 is 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 has 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 system 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 to secured just under half of 1000000000 pounds sterling. so about $580000000.00 us dollars over 3 years from british taxpayers to tackle 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 u. 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. china has appointed a new premier re, can during the session of the national parliament in beijing. lee is repeatedly closed, confident gigi, and the previous he served as a secretary of the chinese communist party. in shanghai. the nation was supported by g, who recently made history is trials 1st president to be elected by parliament. the 3rd consecutive term lee in his new role as premier's expenses and take charge of the development of the national economy. the largest in asia is to just answer the

hearing. spent a decade in that position is now expected to retire. change continents out. one of the south africa main economic codes is struggling with a worsening water shortage. i made a persistent electrical power cuts may international activist organization. re b says millions of people have been left waiting for water, which is sort of hundreds, kilometers away in the reservoirs with dwindling levels. are t correspondent normally will you brings us more details from the scene. does, does one thing that you're all away off? it's the fact that what is life yet so this, the vital natural resource is being depleted. it's been polluted and mismanaged. official says disruptions water reservoirs is causing more water related disasters in africa. and to tackle these challenges, citizen state governments needs to do more than just talking. a mother our parents

now dispos that sometimes the tops run dry the whole day. we will go to bat at the end of the day without any water to drink or cook. and that's up to pol accounts the whole day, making it even worse. we're more you'd go to, i can come back. what would still not be back. oh, okay. and if so, the shaft lamazzo manual about for me the crisis is about because my business needs more time. we can't cook, we can wash, we can clean. as you can see for yourself, we're not operating, we can do anything. when that you've been given along on, but it's not, the water crisis is hurting as badly as i'm speaking to you. i haven't eaten because of situation. even base kids go to school without eating a bad thing because we have no water. it's clear that infrastructure is lacking, whether or not it is an old pipes or ignorance, is that african water prices? it's yeah, it's getting worse than it's affecting millions of people. i think it's her well known fact that our government at the moment is struggling with a lot of service delivery issues. so well known fact that our energy platforms are

unstable. and it's also a well known fact that our water and wastewater and regulation systems, or dilapidated failing under severe pressure have been under capitalized and then in many ways all dysfunctional. so all things being equal, i do not see the scrutiny around. in fact, i see an accelerated right of collapse coming, and i see ultimately this is very likely to trigger unrest less unrestrained reschedule ripple across the country. and i'm afraid this is where we're hitting quite interesting to know that in the case of locating alternative sources of energy can be made accessible. but wood, water, alternative sources may not be as accessible all available. this means that the situation of water shedding or shortage, and have more dire consequences than what we, as africans have already experienced farsi. i'm known we couldn't get into

harrisburg ross has a central bank, says the country has cut the amount of currencies from so called unfriendly countries in foreign transactions to under 50 percent. the share of unfriendly currency is used for russian excellent deals fell from 87 percent to 48 percent last year. the chinese you are now has become the main alternative foreign currency used by russia. as, as russia's national rubel currency accounts for 34 percent of the total sum of export transactions. we heard from a russian economic expert dmitri alexander, of who spoke about the risks associated with using the us dollar on international markets. murtha lou. oh, but he's methods of fighting against combating the decrease of the dollars. global roll are manifold from economic measures to the use of force,

coercive actions. naturally, it also includes direct dialogue, for instance, where the oil producing countries where the u. s. is trying to persuade them to spend the additional revenues on us treasury bonds and is not limited to oil producing countries. in essence, us trade policy bowls down to making all the countries that have surplus trade accounts with the us to spend their part of the surplus on new us treasury bonds. this way they can buy goods from those countries simply by printing more dollars. and so based their trade balance deficit, but it also results in a bigger trade balance deficit. as the economy grows, this race is alarms at these calls i pawns ice game can't last forever. then the problem that i've shin rotten, he's up next on guy on the ground. we'll see you here live leo. ah

ah ah ah ah

ah i'm after it and see and welcome back to going underground rural, gusting all around the world for dubai in the u. e, a multi polar transformation of the world was confirmed at the 1st of march g, 20 foreign ministers meeting in india, in effect, nato members and their alleged puppets. vito to joint communicated, might've indicated. unity in the face of threats like climate change and ban them. x, the summit in new delhi followed refusals by india, china, and those representing the majority of humanity to vote for un resolution demanding russia be defeated in the u. s. his proxy war through ukraine. joining me now as

a crossing of our soldiers army and so on by a car g, which is considered as one of the permanent members of the subpoena of the early cancer. it is so and a she did so now and therefore i think it would be, must be, i mean, you can't allow a congee to reach or to the defense less in these circumstances. so you don't buy it as a whole. you don't see at all what other countries in the global sub do, which was this was nato encroachment in the east and that there was a qu, we have the phone call evidence, victoria newland. now, in the biden state department, you don't believe there was a clue that led to this situation. you don't believe that they blew up the north stream pipelines, applying energy to europe, that this was planned as a 1st of all of the unraveling of the soviet union was by mutual consent.
