ah ah, the headlines anaki international as beijing appoints a new defense minister who is under us sanctions. as the country's president gigi pink makes history being elected for a 3rd consecutive tub pull. so a headboard fragments held, the shell went right through the car right here. and right through this seat, as you can see, the blood is still their father and son, the killed in don't yet, because civilian areas are, once again come under ukrainian. chevy, long time regional rivals. iran on saudi arabia agreed to resume diplomatic

relations and reopen their embassies. it's a move with important geo political implications at the multi phone of world continues to also just a bit later in this program. i get mass protest ripping georgia this week as the political opposition colds for the parliament's resignation. here on the program, we break down how the tension is in motion, but also the roles of back to foreign influence. ah. and so with the top storage of the week on this, i was main headlines. welcome to the weekly south. china is a key political event. it's called the 2 sessions has seen several fresh appointments to the government. a new defense minister, lea shank, food takes up his post to day. the official has been under us sanctions since 2018

for buying military equipment from russia. well, let's pick up the story now with c g t, n correspondent joe josh chin, who says the fact that the minister is sanction does not bode well for the prospect of restoring dialogue between the 2 countries. despite i trade of friction since your political tensions back then on, i mean 5 years ago china, any us we're still maintaining to clar matic and security dialogue which haven't been seen these days. many chinese new defense minister just appointed to day is now under the u. s and sanctions, he would not have a decent meeting with any us officials or he's on his counterpart. so we are not expecting on the leaders meeting between the 2 sides in terms of, you know, security talks. if you know the new ministries under sanctions, or you would not provide or a creed, any good atmosphere for the 2 sides to restore the dialogue mechanism, which would not lead to any

a better environment for the bi retires. so i think our, the washington has to consider if it has to mix some moves towards that or mean time the country's new premier lee chang was also among the newly appointed high ranking officials, previously served as the secretary of the chinese communist party in shanghai. the premier nomination was supported by his eugene king, recently made history as china's 1st leader elected for a 3rd consecutive tongue and following the election. g confirmed his oath of allegiance to the country and its people. or cheshire, i pledge to be a legion 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 is eugene p. take this oath. during the session, the chinese foreign minister expressed hope that the e u will embrace quote, strategic independence from the u. s. after the end of the conflict in ukraine, he added the west as escalating the conflict, pursuing its own agenda while ultimately undermining china's proposed piece. already. are you honish? regrettably, however, efforts for peace talks have been repeatedly undermined. there seems to be an invisible hand pushing for the per traction and escalation of the conflict and using the cream crisis to serve a certain geopolitical agenda. and while of course, the u. s. does fully support the ukraine. the china's foreign minister accused washington of disrespecting beijing sovereignty attentions and has if i loved august when then house speaker nancy pelosi ignored all warnings and paid an official visit to taiwan, sparking a sharp response from beijing and prompting large scale military drills all around

the island prison inside the chinese foreign minister pointed out the apparent hypocrisy of the us stance, sang washington respects the territorial integrity of ukraine, while disregarding the fact that taiwan is an integral part of china and he should go. the chinese people have every right to ask. why does the us talk about respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity and ukraine? what disrespecting china sovereignty and territorial integrity on the taiwan question? why does u. s. gas china not to provide weapons to russia while it keeps selling arms to taiwan in violation of the august 17th communique. why does the u. s. keep on professing the maintenance of regional ties and stability? what cowardly formulated in a plan for the destruction of taiwan rogers, a deputy foreign minister, so gale. yep. cove says that bilateral ties with china, driving the u. s. in its allies around the world, just a little bit crazy. he made the comments an exclusive interview to us right here,

a doughty i cheaper than i many guns of this book would. obviously americans are concerned that are comprehensive partnership and the whole complex of our ties. multi faceted and deep have received an additional impetus and continued to develop despite all our enemies attempts to upset them and damage our relations. the american seem to understand that the russia, china nexus is one of the pivotal elements in the formation of a new multi polar world order. and it is, if you like, an antidote to the american tick tock, an american hedge ammonia. we work with the people's republic of china, hand in hand, standing shoulder to shoulder, resisting the onslaughts of our enemies. we have a lot of projects and we have the groundwork for our work with china. we have no hidden agendas. we are driven by the desire to ensure stable development in a prosperous feature for our states in our peoples. and that just seems to drive our enemies crazy in washington and some other capitals. their nervous reaction to

what is happening is further confirmation that the course we have chosen with beijing is the right one. at least one civilian has been killed and a ukrainian artillery strike on a residential area. in the city of novi, a huff co in rushes got a song region i. we understand that the attack took place in the early hours of the morning, leaving holmes stores and power lines destroyed. a shattered glass and blood could be seen in the aftermath of city officials say that a western supplied weapons were used in this attack. now another morning strike hitting a residential area in donates with home severely damaged and at least one lady injured. a us supplied hi mas rockets were portly, used in this attack. and a ukrainian artillery attack on a bus depot claiming the lives of 2 civilians on saturday, also in the city of finance. a father and his 8 year old son were killed. shell fragments of the location were reported to be of nato origin. an anti correspondent roman caught her eye for us. this report from the c. 2 people were killed as

a result of ukraine artillery shilling against residential areas here in done ask a man, had his 8 year old son war in this said, sax. he, what this frank took place. fragments of the shell went right through the car right here. and right through this seat, as you can see, the blood is still there. so li, fragment of the shell went for the car and ended up right here. went through it for the body of a man with him in the car at that point for his wife and of course the taxi driver as well. the wife and tax the driver are completely safe, although i fragments of a shell went right through their clothes with whom

i showed him that the confession federal investigative committee officials have completed their investigation at the ukrainian forces artillery, shall i that targeted the cooper chef ski district of the city of den, yes, shall fragments that will likely of foreign origin from what looks to be a $155.00 millimeter caliber weapon had been found at the scene of the attack market for the 2nd time this week. ukrainian artillery used at natal made a weapons, and sa get it as 2nd bus depot here in don't ask republic. as i said earlier, 2 people were killed. the father and the son writes a here now also a dog was killed. now, thankfully it said the, we can, so there were no employees at this bus depot at the moment and said the father and son who died were in at sax. he and they were on that road just basically passing through and they were unlucky as a shelf fragments struck them and the killed the father instantly and the child

died on the way to the hospital room on call for of ours. he doesn't escrow public for the russian armed forces struck key targets in several ukrainian cities on thursday, including the countries capital t f. according to the russian defense ministry, the strikes wherein responds to terrorist acts carried out in russia's, brianna border region by ukrainian forces. earlier this month, moscow added that it successfully hit military infrastructure. meanwhile, in october offs, also known as back move russian forces, now just a kilometer away from the center of the city that's according to the chief of the private wagner military group. and the area has been the focus of intense fighting for months with the entrenched ukrainian troops now almost fully surrounded. and his san verify footage are circulating on social media showing wagner soldiers replacing ukrainian flag with their own on top of a russian monument in the eastern part of our offices. this comes as washington is

now trying to down play the significant solve this key city. the fall of buff mood won't necessarily mean that the russians have changed the tide of this fi. i think it's more of a symbolic value than it is a strategic and operational. and while previous reports label the city key and strategic the narrative now suggests the stronghold is not so important and mostly holds symbolic value. russian forces try to take the strategic town of backlash. the city itself is not that strategically important, which all earlier in the strategic time of the most, it is not strategically important. it could lead to the full, a sloppy and can comma tools because, well, the 2 most important cities in the dawn bass, there is little strategic value. it's not a military hub, is not a communications hub. it can be significant strategically significant given it

access to the rest of dumbass. number 2, you gotta keep in mind lloyd. austin oversaw the withdrawal of us troops out of iraq back in 2011 and what crept in isis. so i don't really care that much for his strategic analysis. and number 3, it would take a lot of ukraine troops out of the fight. and i think that this is what they want to do given the ukranian losses. i don't think it said insignificant and just approve put, i think would be a demoralizing factor for the ukrainians at this point. if they weren't just to get up and, and leave and you look at the territory, that's there. that's significant territory. if the russians take it back over the mass of protests against a bill on the influence of a foreign agents of gripped georgia, all week of the rolling party has since abandoned the draw. florida stopped the

violent protests and clashes with police. ah, people in the georgia capital took to the streets against the so called foreign agent bill, claiming it would come down on western news outlets and n g o's. american officials spoke out against the draft bill despite it bearing similarities to an existing american law. even threatened georgia with sanctions though the government reacted to the protest yvonne's by canceling the bill and releasing those who had been detained a grant, a crowd, so gathering near the national parliament, had been growing by the thousands and rushes. foreign minister says the events in

georgia have similarity to the ukrainian my dan uprise. the 2014 very similar to caves made on. there is no doubt that the law and registration of non governmental organizations that receive foreign funding in the amount of 20 percent of their budget was just an excuse to start an attempt to force a change of power. nevertheless, in a number of european countries, the same rules are much more stringent burrell stated, without batting an eye, that this contradicts european values, and puts the block on the path of georgia, secession to the e. u. in general, this hypocrisy is, of course, obvious. or this my parliament saying it would no longer push that bill protesters still gathered demanding that the resignation of the government. the latest mass protest taking place on friday is our artist donald quarter reporting from location behind me, the parliament building where thousands of protesters have gathered for the 3rd

night in a row, they just launched a new demand to the government, demanding the resignation of the parliament this is after both of the main demands of the protesters were actually met by the parliament, the 1st one being the release of all protesters web and detained throughout these protests and riots. and the 2nd one being the rescinding of this law that started these protests in the 1st place. that of course, was a law draft law that the georgia parliament passed that would see a non governmental organizations in this country that make over 20 percent of their income from foreign sources. register as foreign agencies, we've seen a lot of anti russian sentiment here. ukranian flags, american flags, european union flags alongside the georgia ones. and they've been calling this proposed law that started this all a russian style law. that's despite the fact that this law does exist in russia, but was 1st passed in the united states all the way back in 1938. and it actually

carries much more severe consequences. criminal ones, including jail time for employees of organizations that fail to register as opposed to in russia where organizations that failed to register with simply receive a fine. now you can see behind me the protest has today been so far peaceful. but this has been the case over the past 2 days earlier in the night. around midnight is when really we started the scene violence erupt, protesters throwing molotov cocktails and rocks and objects of police building barricades. and they've been tried to storm the parliament building twice. the police have obviously responded with tear gas and water cannons. and i was actually in the thick of it. yesterday i got tear gas and saw the action 1st hands. now, the government is actually divided on this issue. the parliament is at odds with the president who was in the i did states. when all of this, all of these protests broke out. she released

a video with the statue of liberty behind her, putting her support in, in for the protests and denouncing that part of the parliament support for this law . we discussed all the developments in tbilisi with a political analyst alexander of package. now he described the protests as another outside attempt to interfere in george's affairs. listen for yourself. it's a danger to the wes model. exporting democracy meaning exporting, calling revolutions, exporting their own influence over. busy or other countries, governments, media, culture, education. that's why the alarm. so actually what, what the west wants is a permanent right to metal in other countries, internal affairs. and wants to put a stop to it is immediately labeled as on democratic people just don't want new

color revolutions for all of the previous ones and left just destruction in their way, more poverty, more destabilization and less democracy. they're afraid of georgia, improving ties with russia, t announcement of maybe perhaps flights being resume between georgia and russia. certainly raised alarm bells. and so, you know, now that georgian authorities want to suppress western influence. well, they, they want to be able to open up when you frank against russia because of the frank in ukraine is not going well for them. so they need to open up a new hot spot along russian borders and they need to do it as easily as possible. and that's why this new proposed law is something that bothers them very much. georgia is pretty well known to have close ties to numerous non governmental organizations by putting forward the foreign agent bill,

the georgia parliament went up against a powerful and well with heel loping. learn more about our website. it's f r t dot com. so it was on friday that bricks, hopeful candidates. iran and saudi arabia found common ground, agreeing to resume diplomatic ties, and even reopen their embassies. the deal was essentially broken by bricks, men, but china, senior officials from the middle east in countries health talks in beijing to help bridge this divide. so the delegates explaining here what paved the way for rebuilding bilateral ties of the talks this time have fully combed through the merits of the disputes between saudi arabia and iran and explore defective ways to resolve disputes. saudi arabia hopes that this will open a new chapter and bilateral ties under the architecture of a brotherly relationship of china has provided favorable conditions for rich and

disagreement. this is a vivid demonstration of the basic policies and concepts of china's diplomacy, which includes the major initiative of building and community with a shared future from mankind here on firmly supports the relevant initiatives. well, the reason they cons between we are going to ron of has become a hot topic across the world with many world leaders starting to react to the issue are well starting from iran. be wanting foreign minister. i'm here on the learning on has said that v that we sent to agreement will build a great capacity for both countries, both 4 to one and we are. and he has said that it's the policy of the iranian government to tread on the path of good neighborhood s with its neighbors, including with we are, with saudi arabia. we all itself has also reacted to the issue. officials from the saudi king. or i said that they were trying to continue this path and appealed

flossed with these monica problems of iran, as they believe that this will lead to more stability in the reject agreement was broke her by china. it's a very major step by our vision paying our who has just started his 3rd term as a chinese president, starting with this good news and trying to build trust between the 2 arch rivals. the long term are tribal, step one and reel. this is a major step towards china's stronger role individual needs to show that china is interested in the italy's politics and in the we just economy proven kasha gray sh. the improvement of the relationship of both sides has paved the way for peace and stability in the middle east. it has also set an example for resolving conflicts and disputes between countries through dialogue and negotiations. china supports countries in the middle east to adhere to strategical, autonomy, strength,

and unity and cooperation. get rid of external influence and truly have in their hands the future and destiny of the middle east, or when it comes to the united states. you notice this on the outside seems to be interested in the agreement between we are going to rob united states said that it welcomes any effort to de escalate the region. the american president, our joe biden said that he welcomes any effort to help put an end to the end of the war to the solar war. yes. yeah, but when it comes to israel, israel is, ah, seems to be alarmed by the green man job or the officials. israel has said that this agreement will deal if the field low to any effort to try to isolate iran and to try to build a coalition against check raw china is now interested in bringing different voices

in different forces. together in the eastern block, you try to unify different for force and different players in the region against the western union battles and meshida, russia, china give ron, and now he wants our tribal saudi arabia is jumping on the bandwagon. and he's trying to are form this unified alliance against the west sewland animals. and i will see what will happen in the future. we heard from our wiring when executive dean of china chung gang institute for financial studies. and he says the us as a major cause of instability in the middle east. so according to him, increasingly more countries have been trying to distance themselves from us policies. it's very important. you bench not only middle east about also, you know, china fall in china hope to not only the 2 countries. also, all countries in the middle east could develop have been by themselves for washington. they shouldn't be rethink then. why now in the won't be

more and more people never a chance to washington any more, any longer you as a main driver of deal legion know inc. deputy and conflict on the middle east about also eastern europe because the pastor 40. yes. the u. n. a hey state has launched a lot of was in the middle used to at least one meeting that people have died under the fi of the united states. so now what have you, 8 people know the world very clearly. so called a germany of the days to, to be end as early as possible. so good to have your company for the sunday program life from moscow shock waves beginning to work full across the financial world. it's following the collapse of

a california based silicon valley bank. it's the 2nd largest collapse of a financial institution in american history. former treasury secretary was that without government intervention, the whole venture capital sector could just be wiped out. it certainly is going to have very substantial consequences for silicon valley, for the economy of the whole nature sector, which has been dynamic unless the government is able to assure that this situation is work through silicon valley bank provided financing, foremost, half of american venture back to technology businesses, it was among the top 20 us commercial bindings with $209000000000.00 in total assets at the end of last year. now this whole collapse does have global implications. a media reports claim, some brazilian firms with more than $10000000.00 in the bank of lost all that money

. and i could just be the tip of the iceberg. as v. b also has branches in india, china, all across europe. and in the u. k. more than a 180 companies have sent a joint letter to the british government, calling for help. the loss of deposit has the potential to cripple the sector and said the eco system back 20 years. many businesses will decided to involve liquidation overnight. this crosses will start on monday, and so we call on you to prevent it. now, parallels are being drawn to the global financial crisis of 2008, which was triggered by the collapse of what was america's 5th largest investment bank. best tons. it's exposure to the subprime mortgage fiasco led to the so called great recession, and was the start of a domino effect of financial business failure. a recession in the us economy was also seen as a key factor in the crisis. in an attempt to slow the economic downturn, the federal reserve significantly cut interest rates due to the loss of revenue and

declining market confidence. small bank began to fail. lehman brothers was probably the most famous institution to collapse. and interestingly enough, that the person who directed its financial operations also served as the chief administrative officer for what that whole, the silicon valley bank investment guru and co founder of the quantum fun. jim rogers says the american and european economies of facing a recession and a global economic crisis may very well be next because of that extended period of siri, interest rates, and. ready capital already we seeing yield trips in liberty in the us, europe in tetra. you'll inverted yield clips already tending that the u. s. economy, the european economy, et cetera, is going to get interesting if not already in recession. and that when you buy, she had such

a lot of capital flows into sub optimal project. you're going to find more and more benefits coming up in the system. and more and more positive phenix coming through for i would say, what needs to be cautious. it doesn't necessarily say we're hitting for another level financial crisis, but certainly the dates are big malik, and bell allocation of capital as most of via and the possibility of another global crisis. and so as the western markets do look poised a hemorrhage, we keep seeing all sorts of strategic and economic partnerships browsing up around the world. the global south, for example, i see on bricks some calling at the d. dollarization coalition. fascinating details in the world today available for you. i thought you thought com with the

ah ah a bunch i should to belong with mister, just alone on the wall. and say for you too. he is new was the william which is

a new with decision. ah, your promotional session is a question for us that helps to deal with this is lynette will play, you know, she'll puts you in a sketch of. sure. so but on it for you, if you wish fatal shrugs let bear with with kicked out why did the surgery.
