ah ah, a thousands of protesters take to the streets and we'll go by demanding. the nation's leader resigned. as authority clamp down on the wave of demonstrators converging on the capital. beijing appointed new defense minister put under us thanks. as the country president shooting pain makes history being elected for a 3rd consecutive term. and for the 1st time in the country of history around the oil ministry. and now the plan to issue some $6000000000.00 worth of wheel with coming to

live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i. rachel blevins here with the latest news. welcome to the programmer. mo, bits have taken to the streets to demand the resignation of the country, president my sand, do another top government officials that protest kicked off in the country's capital on sunday, and have been met with a law enforcement cramped down a local journalists on us. this report i, we're at the great national assembly square where the protesters have approached people are chanting that the government needs to resign. riot police have now appeared at what began as a peaceful protest. but now we've just witnessed the 1st clashes as the police are responding very aggressively to the protesters. the police have blocked passage so the protesters can't go any further. at the moment the police say that more than 50 people have been arrested. authorities have accused foreign intelligence agencies

of organizing the protests in order to destabilize the situation in the country and claims that the rally was specifically organized by russians. special services to police have blocked bus services and betsy, but despite this, the protestors decided to continue on foot to take part in the demonstrations in the countries capital long foresman claims. the blocking of transport was to prevent what they call an organization of mass riots. a member of the models in parliament. marina talbert has just said that this is the 1st case in 30 years. authorities have a lawless li, prohibited residents from attending rallies. protesters say they are angry with the government for failing to keep its word and ignoring and problems the country is facing right now. lawsuit procedures. so i came out to protest because our government does not keep its promises. prices i'll get in higher, especially on energy. the government promises to raise salaries and pensions, but promises are not kept. the government does nothing. so this is how we're going

to achieve justice, right in the middle of our numbers. actually, moldova is one to solve our issues ourselves. it's true, there are a lot of pensioners at the protest because the pension is scanty, and electricity prices are growing more expensive. people are right. no one can violate our right to protest as our government does. right now. do you have in the, when we came here to defend the justice of a republic of mo bobo, we stand up against corruption. we want our mold open language to be preserved. although as a 1000 year history, our own language and now we're being told we must use romanian language here. pan said his professor steven guy edge believes the moldova government's rhetoric against russia is dangerous and that it is fueling unrest. i think that's the main interest of the, of the vast majority of the population regardless. busy of their linguistic or ethnic background is or beast to remain in the country. and the problem that they face is a maya. some do and who governments that is constantly fueling the fears

on one side and also is it, is it fueling this hawkish frederick towards, towards moscow? what the thought it was most going? a couple of weeks ago, my son came out with the theory that serbian citizens are involved in conspiracy with moscow against against rolled over and this was proven to be wrong. this is quite dangerous. and i honestly hope for both countries still remain a peaceful and neutral in the cost of that is going on. china's key political or that named the 2 sessions has seen several fresh appointments to the government that includes the nation's new defense minister, who notably has been under us, sanctioned since 2018 for allegedly buying military equipment from russia. we heard earlier from a c, d

n. correspondent who says the fact that the minister is sanction does not bode well for the prospect of restoring dialogue between beijing and washington. dispos. i'd trade affliction since your political tensions back then. i mean, 5 years ago, china anyway, tools were still maintaining to clar matic and security dialogue which haven't been seen these days. many chinese new defense minister, just appointed today 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 the leaders meeting between the 2 sides in terms of, you know, security talks. if you know the new ministries under sanctions, you would not provide or create any good atoms for, for the 2 sides to restore the dialogue mechanism, which would not lead to any a better environment for the buy retires. so i think the washington has to consider

if it has to make some moves towards that in the countries new premier was also a fresh appointment. this week he previously served as the secretary of the chinese communist party in shanghai. the premier's nomination was supported by shing thing, who recently made history as china's 1st president re elected for a 3rd consecutive term following his re election, president shake confirmed his allegiance to the country and its people. washer. should i pledge to be a legion to the constitution of the people's republic of china and safeguard the constitution's 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, eugene, pe,

take this oath. during this session, the chinese foreign minister expressed hope the will embrace. would he called strategic independence from the us after the end of the conflict in ukraine? he added, it's the west which is escalating the conflict while pursuing its own agenda all the while undermining china's proposed settlement plan. 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. china's foreign minister added that washington is disrespecting beijing. sovereignty changes wrote last august. when then, how speaker nancy pelosi ignored all warnings and paid an official visit to taiwan . barking, a sharp respond from beijing and promising large scale military girls around the island. the minister pointed out the hypocrisy,

the u. s. physician saying that while washington respects the territorial integrity of ukraine, it disregards the fact that taiwan is an undeniable 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? war 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 while cowardly formulating a plan for the destruction of taiwan. russia, as deputy foreign minister says, bilateral ties with china are driving the u. s. and its allies around the world crazy. he delivered his comments and an exclusive interview here on our tea. i, chieftain, americans of this book would obviously americans are concerned that are comprehensive

partnership and the whole complex of our ties. multifaceted and deep have received an additional impetus and continue to develop despite all our enemies attempts to upset them and damage our relations city. 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 dick tie 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. if we have no hidden agendas, we are driven by the desire to ensure a stable development in a prosperous future for our states and our people. so, 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. i am ah,

turning now to the conflict in ukraine, 3 people have been killed and 15 injured, including 2 children. here it is showing by keith's forces in logan's region, a local supermarket, and 2 petrol stations were head according to local authorities. the reports also say that the strike with carried out using americans applied high mars rocket launchers. the local head of the region has called this tragic incident, a ukrainian terrorist attack intended to cause maximum damage to civilians. this comes after another strike sunday on a residential area and don as severely damaging several homes and living one woman wound it is by repeated pledges from nato chase that the alliance will do everything it takes for as long as it takes when it comes to arm in ukraine against russia, western media outlets are not questioning if that's really the case. some pondered whether the west is actually doing enough while others have called out key mistakes

in the war and recommended a change of tactics. we got reaction to the story from jeffrey young, a democratic candidate for the governor of kentucky, and diane, they're a new york state independent candidate for the u. s. senate. i think the one accurate thing about the political article was that there is disagreement in the people who run american military and foreign policy about how much more support for weapons to send to ukraine. there there is that's, that's real, that's accurate. there is disagreement show but the problem is that ukraine has already lost this nature has already lost a score. russia is going to achieve whatever objectives it was within the next several months. and there's, there's nothing, any nato country,

including the united states can do to stop that. so, air debate, how much, how many more weapons to stand is irrelevant. there is a number of developments, one that knew congress, which all of whom don't want to continue writing blank checks, but to p. extraordinary agreement, the china, just the broker to between iran and saudi arabia. and the fact that back in february, china put forward to 12 point proposal for negotiated the fire between russia and ukraine, the united states, nato, the u. k. the west, frankly have lost the moral authority. they've lost the upper hand in the eyes of most of the world. the revelations by seymour hersh on the north string pipeline bombing. all of these things i think, are contributing factors to what might be,

hopefully would be a shift and u. s. policy in the with regard to ukraine. for the 1st time in the country's history around the oil ministry has announced a planned issue. billions of dollars worth of oil bonds are use of drill. ali has been looking at the story and its regional implications. as western sanctions continue to weigh on iran soil sector, the petroleum bridge country is exploring no ways to keep this strategic industry up and running in a bit to rampart domestic oil sales, iran soil minister, javan oj announced a new initiative overall. hey, so what are they? the certificate of deposit of crude oil and gas? condensation is an initiative that was launch falling the deliberations between the stock exchange organization, the ministry of economic affairs and finance. in the central bank, the initiative allows us to attract micro local investors and increase public participation in the domestic oil market. in fact, it will diversify oil exports as well. in 2018 iran was the 3rd largest oil

producer and the organization of petroleum exporting countries, following washington's reinstatement of sanctions on to iran that here many western oil giants left the country. and iran soil outputs almost half to less than $2000000.00 barrels per day. exports also tumble to less than $1000000.00 barrels per day, down from 2 and a half 1000000. the petroleum industry has always been vulnerable to global developments. and now the recent rapprochement between iran and saudi arabia to opec members could fundamentally reshape the outlook for the oil market. besides bridging their political disputes, did one and re off are also expected to resolve their differences in the energy sector. a case important is the disputed altura or all rash gas field located in a disputed maritime area in the persian gulf, which has not yet been demarcated to iran is critical of quite on saudi arabia's exploitation of the field. saying iran also has

a stake in the area believe to have an estimated half a trillion cubic meters of proven gas reserves, bath and all that in a definitely the recent development regarding the resumption of our ties with 3 odd will help to build the joint fields with our neighbors, we have proposed the development of these fields be done by both countries that share the fields in the opec and opec plus meeting. we are very close approaches with saudi arabia, with regards to oil export. fortunately, the decisions that have been made at opec, another class over the past few months, were all a result of joint deliberations between iran and saudi arabia. for energy hungry china, mediating between teheran and re off to improve ties between the states will help ensure its energy security as the world's 2nd largest economy. beijing is heavily reliant on foreign oil and gas. figures show that more than 70 percent of the countries oil is imported. measuring has been a major buyer of iranian oil, even at the height of their west's economic pressure against iran. it has also been saudi arabia's largest oil importer it to mean on by the raining saudi resumption

of ties would increase chinese certainty regarding the oil market and improve its access to crude oil. the move will also increase the supply of oil from the persian gulf to the east, and this will reduce oil prices since china leads the market in terms of oil demand . when the u. s. crop the 2015 iran nuclear deal with world powers. it fell to bring toronto crude sales to 0. but this did not happen as a result of china and russia, continuing their business with iran against all odds. now china's latest move is believed to offer both iran in saudi arabia, a host of new opportunities as to energy powers, use of to roddy r t to run the u. k. government's latest move to craft on, on a legal immigration has been stirring out plenty of had lies. prime minister re, she soon ack sparked controversy after

a tweet saying migrants would be denied access to the u. k. 's modern slavery system. if you come to the united kingdom illegally, you can't claim asylum. you cons benefit from all modes and slavery protections you can't make spurious. human rights claims yukon. stay the plan as the government's latest response to a record number of people legally entering the country by boat from france. last year, the authorities signed a deal with rwanda to deport belva asylum seekers there. although the move was halted by the high court. it's all led to one prominent b, b c host taking the twitter, comparing the government's plans in the language. it used to germany's migration policies of the 19 thirty's. there's no huge influx. we take for fuel refugees and other major european countries. this is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not

dissimilar to that used by germany in the 30s. and i'm out of order. former football star gary linux is one of the broadcasters top sports host, but he's now been suspended by the corporation which said his social media activity breached its impartiality guidelines. the decision to remove him, sparked to boycott, not only by his co host, but almost all others for its prisoners and commentators of the b, b. c. and he's far from the only one questioning the government's campaign. going and get me some slaves before it's legal. the government tech control for came by saying if you get people here that will have no protection from slavery, an unforgivable message, a sentence which shames the country and everything that stands for. this is absolutely disgraceful, complete application of humanity. we spoke to independent journalist from uganda, colton sco via naca maya as well as british filmmaker and professor tim wilson to

get their perspective on the controversy. ready the real issue. ready is that we are where we're going to end up with people in this country who are in the state of limbo. they cannot be given asylum because that's going to be refused. they almost certainly cannot be returned back. many of them will refuse to go back. i, i think in terms of a practical solution, how do you return people back to a country like i've got this don or yemen. also done, it simply isn't going to work. it's the language of racism which has been invoked through and the policy is absurd. it doesn't work. it's caught up in legal, in a legal wrangle at the moment. and even if it does end up getting through, it's only going to do with $2300.00 people at a huge expense. it's gesture, politics is window dressing. it's a plaster on a, on a major,

gaping saw in terms of the suspension. was it? is it fair? i think probably the answer is no. but wasn't conducted honorably. absolutely not. so i initially the baby and said that it had been a mutual decision. it clearly wasn't, it was clearly a sort of imposition, and that is what led to that with a walk out of old sports presenters. the okay government has from the candidates these refugees. i was saying titled to some benefits, they have some rice eat, i mean, eat, it's a matter of just understanding the problem and, and fixing what he, what exactly does these people want instead of relying them 2nd rights and freedoms that really sees taking us back to the fifty's where every younger is didn't have the right to appealing on freedom of expression. i'm, we don't mobile peeling on is an easy entitlement for everybody. freedom of opinion

is not only an entitlement or the 40 to quality. does debussy sustained that jerry's is it simply because what that yeah, i thought saying was not a cause sam or did b, b, c on the latest government funded or the course on to other people. so likewise, the bbc should i tell you next. so that generally is do, i'm generally how the opinions respected if he is he opinion, he is a reflection of so many other people that don't have black posters. a u. s. democratic congressman has slammed the pro western government in his long bad for its inability to tackle threats posed by local. no attended groups. a ways for readers list,

a pakistani branch of the taliban, known as the chief and he is waiting open more with the government, engaging in blackmail, terrorism and the murder of hundreds of police officers. the countries underfunded . police force is battling an enemy arm to the teeth with american weapons that were left behind in the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan for prime minister and ran. caught out, attempted negotiations with the militants before being ousted from office or journalist and foreign affairs expert. we spoke to believes washington to try to help pakistan rather than blame the government. it's a very inconsistent statement about nike dates because actually the biggest reason for that is mac and i'm planning to withdraw from a list. and that is the main thing that has to come to do when it comes to, you know, we talk about all the cute may not be come into the hands of d,

t p or other group. it is because of that. they are not properly disposed or not properly, you know, you know, made it somewhere. it could have not been these 2 other groups and it is not anybody asked them, but they're met and the way they left. and now we have seen that if one understand is not really controlled by government in easton for we see that in the southern for many other groups and the nations which are controlling the country. and that is the typical fear be to be had before. even american redraw that if there will be not a proper government there if they're not proper. they draw from americans, these to be literal support for the government of pakistan. and other than blaming the response or anything. whenever jerry is most prominent business woman who manages the african countries largest and busiest port system

has decried the problem of stereotypes in the workplace and called for greater gender equality that says women are still failing to actively engage in politics as once again seen in the recent general election r t correspondent, poland david takes up the story. hope of my give us near little 100 on select the mediums it's is it is a women. yes. very few of them think plots in any political process as these has been set up for the conscious level. craft of development numbers every year. keeps twin late right now. the chance house as a witness to 5, that reduction in the number of women who were successfully in that sense. the major challenges been in such an increase in violence, food and also the social culture of by we have, i want to union stuff which is also appeal. that election and security shouldn't be

provided, especially for women who are running election so that we can be able to match the men by with foster form and then finances. the issue of finance, which has been a major, tell them where i am here to serve the interests of every going on that i also want them to understand the process, fixing that ya is not just just something oh, sort of the work of the people we all have to join hands together at the goals. 0, $1.00 and the one from us in the late this presidential legislative elections, women accounted for less than 5 percent of political positions. my theory has never had a female precedence. oh, vice president is also one of the lowest performing countries. as far as representation in parliament is concerned. you are not doing women the fable. when

you give them, when you grant opportunities for them to be there. any decision that you make depends on who is in a boardroom? any board decision? depends on who is in the boardroom. you can all we had issues of what are people. this is the mil parliament, the hall, you know, in, in the about 11 states. you have but you know how he's of assembly that does not as a whole month. and they have women committees. and when i sitting in women colleges, what do they know about the pins or women? last year, 5 down the bills presented to the mil dominated parliament were voted out, but we also provide specials. the for women are the national assembly. i located that 5 percent of political positions for women grant. the 11 additional seed in the national assembly and the states consequent assembly and our commitment. the women have been uplift 10 percent of ministerial appointments. there is, however, optimism, but the new administration. i do a recently i should in well consider allowing more women to become decision makers

in the country. i learned david ot abrazzo. 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 next time. ah ah ah

ah mm mm mm mm welcome to well to part of being able to see and accept that others may have. will you fundamentally different from your own was once considered a benchmark, a psychological maturity, which is evident to lacking in contemporary foreign affairs with the western earlier assumption that economic development would do way with geopolitical difference is now proven wrong. is a clash of great powers, inevitable will to discuss that. i'm now joined by you being senior fellow at the russian studies center at the east china normal university and senior fellow of

they shanghai association of american studies. dr. you, it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you for having me here. now let me start with an issue that is very close to my heart, and my hope this is a conflict in ukraine. as you are here in your article that these vast and fears of the russian chinese alliance, i greatly exaggerated the beijing is taking a distinctly neutral position. but do you think the chinese americans define neutrality in similar terms? well, no. i think the west sees as sort of like a lines making at least, you know, and so elements over there. but it has been my opinion. ready that the spinal

russian strategic relationship is by large, a normal relationship. it is normal because it is the result of the 2 extreme relationship that the, china's, the dance of union. russia has gone, have gone through from the the honeymoon allies of the 1950s to the enemies of 30 years. ready during the much of the cold war, so russia in china have gone through that to extreme and, and the normalization 1989 was a turning point. the 2 large countries turn to on normal business ship in which both are independent, large powers, and actually independent civilizations. what i like about your framing of an argument is that you clearly show that this kind of rain work allows for genuine corporation for finding areas.
