the police says to submit, i'd tell you what i see the steed both. there's no rule you. motivation says decent to do both. ah ah, a new era for russian chinese relations, as it's confirmed, she jim pings 1st trip off their re election will be to moscow next week. opening pandora's box, china denounces the strengthening of nuclear cooperation between australia, the us and the u. k saying it could threaten global security. and we continue our special coverage of the grim legacy left by the disastrous us led

war in iraq. 20 years since then us president george w bush, his ultimatum to saddam hussein. to give up power or face with a very warm welcome. this is on the international with the late his world news update. it's great to have you with us this hour. so it's a phase, so she didn't pan give that to visit moscow next week. to me. vladimir putin fancy to discuss from the russian chinese strategic partnership to pressing global issues . assigning of bilateral agreements has also been announced with more details to follow the chinese foreign ministry spokes person one quinn has emphasized that this coalition is a win win partnership and is not aimed at any 3rd party. should you meet with johnson you president sheen pink state visit to russia will be a journey of peace practice. true multilateralism based on the principles of non ally, non confrontation and non targeting of 3rd parties promote the democratization of

international relations. build a multi polar world pattern, improved global governance, and contribution to world development. china will uphold an objective and impartial position on the ukraine crisis and play a constructive role in persuading and promoting peace talks. the development of strategic cooperative partnerships between china and russia. benefits both the people of the 2 countries and the world. this differs from the practice of some countries holding the cold war mindset, forming cliques everywhere, engaging in confrontation, building small circles and camps, and had gemini and bullying everywhere. china's foreign ministry also said that this is going to be a meeting a piece that's because beijing is ready to play a constructive role in regulating the ukraine conflict. and we also heard from that foreign ministry of china that there, that beijing is also looking to basically ground these talks and the principles of

non confrontation with 3rd parties. so that's all among other topics on the agenda, including questions of international and regional importance as well. as strengthening the strategic cooperative partnership between these 2 countries. now it's also important to understand that these talks are, have just been announced on the backdrop of the marine security belt joint naval exercises which are between china, russia and iran. and these have been taking place in the gulf of all mon since march 15th. so it represents another frontier of developing cooperation between these 2 countries in this situation, specifically naval and military cooperation. and we spoke with nelson, one device chairman of shank eye center for win pack and international studies. the phase ukraine is likely to be top of the agenda of all the topics that the 2 country leaders between mr. she and president booking. i think the topic

of the ongoing conflict in ukraine is certainly going to be on top of the agenda and that's going to be discussed for jewel. but very mind is that china has recently published its position on supporting peace and cease fire of the conflict. so i believe this is certainly going to be discussed. i think this is also a clear message that has been sent out with regard to the, the upcoming visit to present his t to moscow. now, china's independence in its foreign policy and his handling of international relations is not going to be influenced or even manipulated, or you've been deterred by any 3rd party from monday to wednesday. next week we'll be bringing you the special coverage of chinese, the, the, she'd be paying a visit to moscow, both on that and online. so to join us for that,

the news opening pandora's box. that's how the chinese foreign ministry has labeled the increase in nuclear cooperation between australia, the u. k. the u. s. calling it's a threat to global peace and security menu all go on google for us. and britain and australia are engaged in an anglo saxon cabal. establishing a so called trilateral security partnership and promoting cooperation on nuclear submarines and other sophisticated military technology. this is

a typical case of cold war mentality and it's like opening upon doors box. it will have serious impacts on regional and global peace and security. the reaction comes off, the washington agreed to sell up to $220.00 tomahawk cruise missiles to australia, making the country only the 2nd american ally, also britain to gain access to the advance us weapons. according to the 2021 deal cambra pledge to buy 3 nuclear submarines from washington. the vessels could be used to transform the launch the long range tomahawk missiles which china seas as a threat. while debate south sparks have a where to store the radioactive waste that will be produced by australia. the future submarines with the victorian and west australian premier is making it clear that it's not welcome in the states and to bring some clarity to the mentioned. still be all because contract is a multi decade packs between australia, the u. k. and the us, under the agreement,

australian sailors will be sent to other men, the countries the training on using nuclear subs of the for years, washington and london based submarines in western australia and cambra must buy 3 us model subs in the early 20 thirty's, with the option to purchase 2 more and by 24 people astray, the navy will receive custom sub designs with a combination of us and u. k. defense technology. nuclear free advocates and analyst. they've sweeney say the punch poses a serious environmental threat and provoke similar to escalation. there is a lot of surprise, stunned surprise, really about the extent of the announcement made this week about the repeatedly all the deployment about the fact that stray will be hosting high level radioactive waste. a lot of shock and anger about the cost,

the current price tag is $368000000000.00. let's try and. busy dollars, and that is at a time when a stria, like many other country, is facing economic difficulty, rising cost of living prices and the costs that are associated with increasing climate impacts. and people are saying, why wouldn't we are made the decision? and. busy surely there a way that we can catch a large amount of money, the single largest buy farm prison bought capital expenditure in defense in australia, history. surely, there are ways that we can spend this. that means pressing human and environmental names far more importantly and far more effectively than the acquisition of nuclear submarines. there's a lot of concern that these locks astray into war fighting plants reduces australia sovereignty and independence of positioning an increased and

great environmental threat. should something go wrong with the sub environmental threat through high level wise and above all, military threat and military tension on russia has dismissed claims that it's been illegally deporting children from former parts of east in ukraine as moscow point to the need to evacuate minors away from military combat learnings russia children's rights commissioner has post sarcastic response to the hague, issuing of arrest warrants for her. and president putin on alleged war crimes charges. it's great that the international community appreciates the work to help the children of our country. the fact that we don't leave them in war zones that we evacuate them, create good condition for them. surround them with loving and caring people. null and void are rushes foreign ministry, his branded the international criminal court arrest warrants most who say that it has no legal ramifications for the country as it is not a party to

b. i. c c's international statute. the have claims the russian president on the children's wives commission are responsible for deporting ukrainian children allegations previously voice by key f i c. c. 's. jurisdiction is not recognized by countries including russia, china, india, and the us. he's the reaction from russia as foreign ministry spokeswoman. decisions of the international criminal court have no significance for country, including from legal standpoint. russia is not a participant of their own statute of the international criminal court and has no obligations under the statute. russia does not cooperate with this body and possible recipe for us from the i. c. c will be now and voice to us at the political instrumental. i say show off a court that is anyway facing lots of problems because it, it had been completely opposed more suppressed in particular by the us government

in the last 2 decades. it's a double, it's a triple standard if you want. and as i mentioned before, and i mean we had ample evidence also by not only children, assange will have done that. why are we can leaks, but let us all the records see more her. she was the 1st one to report on crimes perpetrated in us controlled prison camps such as alba arrived in spring 2004 not to speak of the destruction of casual heritage shell. what happened to impact or to exactly 20 years ago. it started the invasion and there were many, many statements also by the late un secretary general coffee and now about the violation of the un charter by those who invaded iraq back in march 2003. and yes, nothing has happened on that. i mean,

books were written in legal opinions were given, but the i c. c never became active. tremendous decree of instrumental i station this international crime court the disastrous war in iraq, which left a trail of destruction and the reported 1000000 people debt is coming up on his grim 20th anniversary. we're bringing you on special coverage of the conflicts through the oil rich country into chaos, and the stabilize the region figures to come ah or 20 years ago to the day don't be a bush made the decision to oust to then iraqi leader saddam hussein by force saying he had to give up power and leave the country or face attack by thousands of

us and allied troops. saddam hussein and his sons must leave iraq within 48 hours. their refusal to do so will result in military conflict commenced at a time of our choosing. should saddam hussein choose confrontation? the american people can know that every measure has been taken to avoid war. and every measure will be taken to win it. despite george bush's promise to take every measure, to avoid war, his ultimate decision to invade iraq through the country and the wider region into chaos. displacing millions and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. the u. s . invaded iraq, under the pretext of stopping the danger from its alleged weapons of mass destruction saying peaceful attempts to disarm baghdad. had failed, despite un inspectors reporting no evidence of weapons in iraq. george bush's

ultimatum came out after the u. s. u. k and spain signed a joint draft resolution seeking military action. but 2 days later, the us and its allies attacked iraq without un approval. the world is better off without saddam in power. george bush's words were banks by former british prime minister, tony blair, driven by desire for regime change. the u. k. decided to join us forces in toppling the iraqi government and unleashing chaos in the country. ortiz marina cars. whoever picks up the story once a years after the us led invasion of iraq and one question remains, could it have been prevented? well, the answer seems to be no, because it was the plan all along. after $911.00, it was payback time for america. and the hunt for state sponsors of terrorism was on after afghanistan, iraq became the next target. and the british prime minister, tony blair,

became george bush's accomplice. all that was missing was an excuse to invade. well, here in the declassified letter, we can see how blair tells bush that he's with him no matter what. as in he'll support him in removing saddam hussein from power. i will be with you will. it's heather, getting rid of saddam is the right thing to do. he's a potential threat he could be contained in another secret memo were told that the pair were concocting a piano campaign on how to sell the iraq war. an entire year before the us invaded to pay him said we needed an accompanying payoff strategy that highlighted the risks of saddam's w m. d program. and his appalling human rights record, bush strongly agreed to pay him said this approach would be important in managing european public opinion. and in helping the president construct an international coalition, the p. m said no one could doubt the world would be a better place if there were a regime change in iraq. what's more, they had

a strategy in case that saddam hussein actually gave you an weapons inspectors free reign to check on everything. the pm late a commented to me privately that had spoken again to bush about the issue of un inspectors. bush and acknowledged that there was just a possibility that saddam would allow them in and go about their own business. if that happened, we would have to adjust our approach accordingly. so they didn't even want full transparency. that is pretended to wanted, hoping iraq's leader would say no. and that would be enough to topple him. well, september 2002, tony blair's end for this claim. the intelligence picture they paint is one accumulated over the last 4 years. it is extensive detail and authoritative. it concludes that iraq has chemical and biological weapons that saddam has continued to produce them. that he has existing and active military plans for the

use of chemical and biological weapons, which could be activated within 45 minutes. 45 minutes. really sounds fake. well, it turned out to be, which was confirmed by british weapons x for a dr. telly to a b b. c. journalist. it was transformed in the week before it was published to make it 6 here. the classic example was the claim that weapons of mass destruction were ready for use within 45 minutes. that information was not in the original draft. it was included in the dorsey against our wishes, because it wasn't reliable. most of the things in the dossier were double sauced, but that was single sauced and we believe that the source was wrong. this fiasco even made it to the parliamentary hearings, which is where dr. kelly's name was revealed as he was asked to give evidence on what he knew. 2 days later, the man who set the british government sec,

stop iraq's w m d. dosier was found dead and 10 years after saddam hussein was hang, they rock inquiry known as a chill cut report revealed that the so called the rocky dictator posed no eminent threats at the time of the invasion. and that the war was fought on the basis of flawed intelligence. the spotlight was now put on george bush and tony blair, with some calling for the pair to be prosecuted. and even taken their case to court . saddam hussein had note posed in immediate threat to the interest of the u. k. the intelligence regarding the weapons of mass destructions was presented with an warrenton certainty. the invasion was not necessary and the invasion had been undertaken without the authority of the one security council. what's the attempts made to prosecute mister blair failed? as the u. k. court ruled that there exists no crime under english law,

which the former prime minister could be charged with. and the international criminal court said that the decision he made to go to war in 2003 is beyond their emits of investigations. and that's it. i apologize for the fact that the intelligence we received was, was wrong. the program in the form that we thought it was did not exist in the way that we thought over a 100000 civilian iraqis, killed many more displaced, british and american soldiers dead for no apparent reason. and this is what they get. oops, sorry about that. and what was the plan for the country after saddam hussein? well, they didn't care, as was revealed in a secret memo and of war that they care about. iraq's oil reserves and they were discussing it before the war, even began declassified documents states that the british government was encouraged to start preliminary work to ensure you k companies are well placed to pick up

contracts in the aftermath of the war by way of specific follow up we should convene meeting with b, p shell, and other appropriate u. k. companies, whether together or separately to explore ideas and tap into the expertise we would need to handle this carefully and assure it was confidential to avoid charges of oil motivations. so preliminary work to ensure you k companies well place to pick up contracts in the aftermath. this is all in the public domain. it's been 20 years and still no one has been held accountable. a country was destroyed, a president's was basically assassinated. and those who did it aren't behind bars. no, but lecturing others on war and peace. the bad guys got away. unbelievable. as he continues his conflict of the legacy of the u. s. that left her in a, in a that left the u. s. left in iraq. law,

the after the unprovoked invasion later throughout the day. so they stay with us for that. thank you. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from great danger. with food and medicine. and freedom with the worse and economy has not been directly affected by the banking crisis

unfolding in the west as the message from the head of russia's at central bank during her latest press conference. a term given us new cause in assess and external conditions. i cannot avoid commands. and on the comments he tuition in the banking system of the us in european that there is no direct impact on the russian financial system. but these new factor as insults and see about the future trajectory of the global economy. and i would like to emphasize once again that the direct impact from what's happening in the western financial markets has had an extremely limited effect on the russian financial system. but it is worse than financial crisis, was triggered by law to ease collapse of silicon valley bank. the former parent company of the failed bank has now also filed for bankruptcy fund phase. it is no longer affiliated with the b. as the bank has been taken over by the u. s. federal deposit insurance corporation, the silicon valley collapse also triggered the fall of

a signature bank which was closed just 2 days off the s v b. the shock waves of the us banking crisis that spilled over across the pond into europe, where credit suisse and bank stocks had plunged by 20 percent this week. so consummate persistence, inflation in the us and europe with the rates report that 6 and 8.5 percent, respectively. banking and finance. professor richard van essays, attempts to curb inflation by injecting even more money as a recipe for disaster. they're saying that the high rates will give us the price stability. and by continuing to expand quantitative lee and in j more money, they're supporting the financial system. well, really, it's the other way around. i mean, they should, they should not raise interest rates, but tighten, then you don't have inflation. gomez will always say everything is fine. this is going from grade to even greater. so we have to be very skeptical of that,

particularly when government impose policies on their economies that can only cripple the economy. and also europe imposing sanctions on russia. stopping the importation, both necessary energy cost effective energy from russia that russia, as always, to limit and soviet union deliver reliably 2 year old just suddenly stopping that. what were you going to get going to get? we get can only performance recession supplies on problems. that's what we're seeing worldwide and certainly been taking europe and also to the some extent in north america. and the don, yes, for public russian troops are now fighting for a key facility inside. asked him off schools. i called about committee according to the regions had a bottle of attrition that has been waiting for months and west and officials. they reportedly concerns that ukraine is burning fil ammunition faster than it can be replenished. glasses can pass for a spring counter offensive and

a bit to turn the tide with so much riding on a ukrainian country offensive, the united states and britain are preparing to ship thousands of nato and soviets artillery rounds and rockets to help shore up supplies for a common ukrainian offensive, but a senior american defense official described that as a last ditch effort, because ukraine's allies do not have enough ammunition to keep up with ukraine space. and their stocks are critically low. concerns over emptying stockpiles comes as the current usage of ammunition vastly exceeds production by key of the allies for incense. every month ukraine uses more than 4 times more. 155 millimeters shows that are produced in the entire us from us. marine corps intelligence officers scores were to say, ukraine doesn't have enough resources for a successful offensive operation. you create has no chance to turn the tide. i mean, this is an act of desperation on the part of ukraine's western supporters.

it's say desperate attempt to alter, you know, the inevitable trajectory of this battlefield. ukraine does not have the resources to carry out an effective counter attack. they don't have the resources to sustain such a counter attack. the russians, on the other hand, have cumulated significant combat power and have a rated both in a defensive manner with defenses in depth, in fully manned and offensive capabilities. russia out matches ukraine and every aspect of this war you know, the best you crank it. hope for is to prolong the conflict through effective defensive operations. but if you crane is going to try to carry out a counter attack, not only was counter tech fail, but it will eat up the critical reserves like you create needs. if you wanted to

continue this conflict, so rather than prolonging the conflict, ukrainian counter attack would actually shorten the car, tanzania and india are set to conduct trade using their own national currencies. the indian repeat on times any instilling will now be the main currency used with both nations optimistic. the venue agreements will increase economic opportunities between 2 sides and neighbors in line with india's recent efforts to reduce its dependency on foreign currency, especially the us dollar. and in economist shad i'd cody says the, the world is we're increasingly approaching an area of no dollar supremacy. i think it's a win win situation. well, the country, in fact, you know, at this point of time has done these arrangements with about 80 to do that. what are they are not israel. you feeling a lot of other countries with i think this is yet increasingly heading to read. dollar a see 90 percent of ratings on the wall is not and

you as dollars. you know, i'm 50 to 60 percent of it goes with the us dollar a. i think this is a very good more where the countries don't do not need to preserve dollars of the just a moment. you start writing all these points result, you start feeling degree are in the pocket. we thought a lot of countries it broke the dollars will be getting more problem the roller to bind it. a great start picking up based friends, protest is advancing their syria, the government's new pension reform for a 2nd night in a row in paris, local authority say more than 4000 people have rallied in a city protested bills, barricades, and started finance. outside the parliament building, turning cuts out of president mac ron calling on him to set down by
