the fellow native member said, fraud says his conclude would enter the ukraine conflict and find to russia. if he is in id fee, so that the fails is today about exactly $2.00 decades, it's your 3rd 4th is invaded. iraq was in part of the regime change by force, leaving behind massive destruction and an estimated 1000000 people that are to continue that special coverage of the devastating conflict. a live from much just for the i mean, it's great to have be with us. i'm her mommy. let's take a look at the top story. this our, the upcoming meeting, we're doing the leaders of russia and china. ah.

on the eve of the chinese leaders 3 day visit. so moscow's asian thing an his russian counselor rather put him a written articles, actually their common vision and their fruit, the turbans of today's world. our world is confronted with complex and intertwined, traditional and nontraditional security challenges damaging acts of germany, domination, and bullying, and long and tortuous global economic recovery. the international community has recognized that no country is superior to others. no model of governance is universal and no single country should dictate the international order. the collective west is clinging, more and more desperately to archaic dogmas to its elusive dominance. putting the fate of entire states and nations at stake. the u. s. policy of dual containment of

russia and china, as well as of all those who defy american dic tots is becoming increasingly acute and assertive. the architecture of international security and cooperation is being dismantled was go put up a welcome via for the chinese delegation on the route from the airport, where they are expected to arrive earlier. my colleague, rachel blevins, is, does the upcoming visit with auntie correspondent, shay bowes? with free her to overstate the importance of this visit by sheen pink to moscow. and as part of this is the lead up to the visit president choosing ping and president putin of boat with the articles in the corresponding papers in each of those countries. and in his, her article, he has sort of outlined some of the key points which he's going to try and pursue and true these air meetings he talks about in the long history between russia and china. shared almost moral values between the 2 states. and that they're going to

try to build not only infrastructure links, but also economic links and, and build upon the, the ancient history as they warm together it, you know, in a sort of almost natural and you know, partnership which is evolved you to some of the pressure coming from the west. unlike some countries, the claim had yamani and bring discourse to world harmony. russia and china are literally and figuratively building bridges. russian chinese relations are an example of harmonious and creative co operation between major powers, much joy and stable bilateral ties are constantly gaining new strength and serve as a benchmark for a new type of interstate relations. characterized by mutual respects peaceful coexistence and mutually beneficial corporation. it's not just russia and china, there are a number of countries that are stepping out that are increasing their ties with each other. what do you see is behind those changes when it comes to this overall

multi polar world landscape? here? i think china, of course, is a leviathan when it comes to the economic world. it has a bigger manufacturing capability than the rest of the globe and combined. so it's very difficult for the westport pre shawn china in an economic fashion because it could cause serious damage their own economy. we've seen a similar pressures on russia failing, essentially to deliver the outcome that they, they believe. so. i think other countries in africa and the middle east are starting to look towards rush in china to lead them to a brighter future, which isn't based on a dominant ad dollar, or as sort of a rules based order where united states it makes the rules and gives the orders for more on this top of this was lived out also and independent expert on international flores, brian ian, brian, thanks so much for joining us here at odd c. posted to see you. now, is there a certain sim, bulletin value behind the fire?

the 1st international visit of president she, after securing his 3rd is to russia and the fire pi ukrainian inquiry says will be on top of the agenda of steve visits. and coming back from our broker del, our facility like the arm between iran and also saudi arabia. china is actually stepping up on this robo diplomatic influence. i would say like district with sambo, tightness are strengthened, efforts on sort of facilitating like, ah, the piece top between like your queen and russia. i mean, it is other fears. do you think that her, that the west, some piles could impose harshest sanctions against china due to his strength, its relations with russia? i think fear may not be the password because laker, but again, like data for dissension is always at the back of chinese authorities seized

a trait what began a few years ago. but then like can it just technically so difficult for us to impose on further sanction on china because the 2 largest economy in the world have so many types linked together. for example, last year they had like a tremendous growth up to point 5000000000 us a possum, roughly increasing tray and also china whole so many like government bonds and ages upon the u. s. government. so i would say be as highly unlikely that the u. s. would take a favor hush dent on our china because of russia. i, brian, i mean, merchant tribes like working together their, their, their neighbors clearly. but they're also looking to reduce global dollars of the u . s. dollar in oil markets. how successful has that strategy been? is the era of the dollar really coming to an end so days a symbol feel be from the economist saying that like the end of the us dollar,

we quite another currency to replace it. and cohen days, no such currency, even like, for the chinese currency our and b, it's just called red life top in the world sense to the russian chinese corporation . it was just a place 3 years before that. so i would say like that the us all the dominant is not going to the end. but i think the directory between our and b and, and rebels use very successful case in term of russian respond to the u. s. dominated market. because like when the us impose on the sanctions and rush up almost running currency option to have to all for example, and then the rubble and i'll be partnership is a success in terms of like it respond to the measure. but i wouldn't say i wouldn't say effect and the dominant of the us dollars. right. you know, both, i'm pretty sure you joining us and i'm enjoying our conversation in both countries

. are looking to move away from a unipolar world, more of a multi po, the world that that's the buzzword of the day at the moment. i mean, how do, how does china see itself in the new global order? and what are the long term priorities of beige in foreign policy? so a poly santa whoa is what record a new geo political reality? and i think china standpoint, is that like, no other state can interfere in our country into internal affairs. so i think that's the back tonight for china. so in this case, china will be stepping up in terms global democracy, diplomacy in terms of not influencing arda, our country, internal affairs, but to set up a roof of mutual respect are between countries. so i think for china is on to sort of long term vision is basically she is to our cell uh like the end of one single

centric us dominated, ah, well order. but instead of having a family like multi centric, and also mutually respected international order, it was interesting um, we know back in boy, i'm back in 2008. you may remember the u. s. had a financial crisis. a lot of us officials travel to china, they asked, you know, both state and private companies to sort of you know, help financially to, to continue to invest in the us. we're seeing lately now with a few bags in the u. s. r. and perhaps the fed oh hi, king of it sir. inflation rates as well. we likely to see a similar move by the us heading towards china again for some form of assistance. thank i think there are a lot of uncertainty in this case because like the u. s presidential election is coming up next years is really depends on who will be the next president. because

if you can tell that like a u. s. has a very different take on china and russia are across different precedence. but for me, i think is favored difficult, or it is a fair unlikely for us to ask for chinese for help unless they're really running out of the options. so if they could, they were 1st asked for their western r. like if not, they might just turn to japan instead of china for financial support. it's interesting on towards for sure. brian young, also an independent expert on international affairs. so thank you so much for joining us here at ard see both. i told him to now searching for more subtle coverage of the upcoming visit or shooting thing to moscow. here on our tea international that's all the so as our india has increase, seeing is rising. will so africa helping the condom and cope with devastating food shortages in a certain regions party cause one has ruined sharma in india. i am poland,

david in nigeria, present the details of the rising co operation. oh oh, i made gilbert ford cry says conflict and subsequent sanctions making things difficult to cross the world. there's a sliver of good news coming in from the global south africa's future. all scenes increasingly connected with india as rise diplomacy between the 2 countries intensifies in near the cheapest supplier or rise in the world by a big margin that has she and. and so rural african countries in africa. c shaping out to be india largest market. africa has emerged as a lucrative market for indian rice exposures. and india as a reliable and reasonable one for africa. india exports rise to over $150.00

countries. and out of the 40000000 tons of rice it has exported. so far this year, over 9, millions of gone to africa alone. africa has traditionally b, nobody'd large market photo id numbers 20 days because the racism is affected as compared to quality, which is so important in other markets, lake southeast asia, australia you, etc. and know the estimate of ministry of agriculture is that 2122. we had 122000000 done so that i spiritual applica has been importing roughly around 2 thirds of more than 2 3rd of will. overall numbers, murphy dice export, india primarily exports, spar boiled non basmati rice to africa. and since africa is a price sensitive market, the benefits are a 2 we wrote, it gets both

a good deal for tom and good quality at low prices. they are just like the rest of the wall has been trying to ensure the domestic market has what it needs and restricted the export to y. last september. it is unlikely to lift the export ban any dying soon to continue in shore food security at home. and india, despite the restrictions, has remained the world's largest exporter all thrice by there is no impact on the all exports is primarily because of world of still loops. if india is, you know, a supplier of rice and we have, we still have despite 20 percent duty, we still have an edge whatever completed this i was referring to international basis. yesterday, this stood d dollar barked and the plan. so whether it is compared to be thailand or pakistan, we still haven't

h o over the years. my julia have enjoyed rice from india, particularly the buzz matter. right. but although the government has put in place measures to reduce importation and encourage local rise, production sell us of the india rise. see my jury level point varieties cannot be questioned. rise is, is of gluten free and low price. it contains all the essential visa. and honestly, this low in sodium, those are fullest, rural. so depends around a lot of a smarter i sort of based on my knowledge, because most times you have limited those routes. if you have like 400 bucks in this feasel like 3 hours. so consumers underwrite the,

the long grain makes it stand out into basmati rice. i like it because it's, it has a long green. it's name, i don't fancy fatty rice. i it tell the 2nd as i it says and i love the taste, right. the position it's nigeria has been seen a downward trend. nigerians who prefer under pen last me on the indian price. i refused to accept homegrown rights varieties. india has accused the british government of inadequately respond in a separatist group on its high commission office in london. my move of the colors found independent group which was out of state in eastern india any fuse of conducting a tech issue in which the indian flag was torn down india x. a said, the british authorities violated the vienna convention on diplomatic relations by failing to provide sufficient security for the building. one of the suspected has

been entertained to security guards, who wounded doing things today, marks 2 decades since us led forces invaded iraq unleashing immense devastation on the middle east and country, and causing the death of an estimated 1000000 people. on the 20th of march, 2003, the u. s. put boots on the ground to impose regime change by force on allocation of a weapons of mass destruction have been proven false. all to continue this special coverage of the conflict, which through the all which country into chaos and the stabilize the entire region . a in march, 2003 missiles,

rain damaged by that the invasion left behind massive destruction. an estimated 1000000 people debt. all the correspondence, the sweeney, because the night when the us bombing campaign was unleashed on the iraq, he capital 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 grave danger eye witnesses described what happened when missiles rained down on the iraqi capital, a march 2003. while the attack was anticipated, locals will have traumatized by the sheer scale of the destruction it went into who's very difficult for the country and for all iraqi citizens. on that day, a disaster struck my nephew was killed in the 1st strike on that goddamn day. bush

as a criminal, it was his fault. they are all criminals. they trampled on humanity. they hate people. this was to be expected of them. they came to destroy the country, not to protect the citizens of iraq. it was a curse time for all. iraqis were still feeling the consequences of this. the world has promised. the american soldiers would be welcomed with open arms with flowers and with sweets. while a swift victory was guaranteed, we are in the square where the americans tore down the statue of saddam hussein. but what many people don't realize is that he was just yards away in the streets behind me. watching events unfold. bus loads of people were brought in to create the impression that it was ordinary iraqis that tore down the statue. it was to create the narrative that the people who supported the us led invasion as the us struggled with heavy losses private military contractors were brought in. but they too were involved in war crimes here, atrocities against ordinary iraqi civilian. here in this whole square,

one of the worst massacres took place at the hands of the notorious blackwater private military company. as they escorted a u. s. military convoy the mercenaries open fire killing 17 and wounding 20 either the word blackwater. for me as a journalist is associated with something terrifying. i saw people in complete disarray. for example, there was always a risk that any resident could be shot dead on the street. this incident took place in the al qaeda area. there was a turmoil, some passes by were killed by blackwater, pmc. we went to this place only after the black water left by then black water was something terrible for us. this incident was not particularly disgust at the meetings by the government then for black or to her now with charlton giles. what i would like to pardon by then you, if president donald from black or to maintain his name, but not the fact of it under the name of how to me,

it was allegedly involved in the fighting a for my 4th is ahead of the conflict in ukraine now as construct, if they had a vested interest in liquid natural gas, which many phase the recall the was been described as nato from the wall consent. it was bought $1000000000.00 by investment company. apollo group in 2016. in september 2020 a polar group entered a 5 and a half 1000000000 real estate investment partnership with the abbey national oil company, one of the world's largest oil companies, and a major exporter of liquefied natural gas. in december 2021 at note was invited to enter a joint venture to create an oil and gas term, new in the ukranian pulse of odessa for transportation to western countries. denouncement came a month off, the chief executive of the ukrainian state energy company. now, after gust you receive a trend co tote, an abu dhabi energy conference that he hopes to russian nurturing to pipe on in to europe, which bypasses ukraine would not be approved. he said that ukraine stood to lose

$2000000000.00 per year, about 1.5 percent of its g d p. if the russian pipe was operational, claiming that nor stream to is actually putting the whole continent and global security at risk. one expert says, these organizations operate in a gray area, often outside law, live till you've shifted blackwater case has not been solved. i think the americans are investigating the case, but insignificant information about the investigation. procedure and compensation issues comes from different sources. i heard that some citizens receive compensation while others did. not all this is caused by the weakness of the government and protecting its citizens. we now know that the war was based on a lie. there were no w m days and saddam had nothing to do with $911.00. but the legacy of the invasion can 20 is often immersed myself by an oxy heard from the iraq heated tenant general says his country is still suffering from the catastrophe of

the us invasion. i'm out of saline. iraq was definitely destroyed. we were aware that the war was about to start, but we weren't sure about what would happen exactly a lot occurred. for instance, the republican guards resistance was supposed to last longer, yet a quickly fell apart. however, pauses 5th division deployed to protect that city, resisted for over 18 days, and managed to halt the advance of british troops after their landing operation there. we saw that the massive forces of the republican guard in baghdad and the rest of the military brigades would be able to fight back, therefore was a really uneven equation. any military experienced in war should have realized that the conflict of the time was not in our favor. and that the balance would probably tilt in favor of the coalition forces had specifically the u. s. and the british,

we were certain that the invasion was about to take place. unfortunately, we anticipated the intervention of the united nations, specifically the un security council. the whole world was rushing to support this war, given america's economic in combat power, except for some vulnerable arab countries, such as libya, which were incapable of preventing it. despite the outbreak of massive anti war protests in britain, the u. s. and other countries, the decision was made to invade iraq soccer kind who knock and the whole week. the catastrophe occurred within suing consequences plaguing iraq, financially, socially, militarily and historically, this country was destroyed by the u. s. and other western powers and was returned to the dark ages. as former u. s. top diplomat james baker had threatened to do to iraq's foreign minister at the time. there was no way to stop this war. the government was destroyed with its armed formations and the security forces at

a tragic time. everything was devastated. cities, bridges, factories and power plants, baghdad, and other cities were plundered. the state reserves were looted, iraq was turned into a bare, destitute, destroyed, and powerless country. no people are state has witnessed such a tragedy with such massive devastation. a whole generation has emerged in fear, despite not being responsible for what happened. even we, the service men felt lost at the time, wondering how we could support our families. there were also a lot of other issues. we were completely desperate america leone to day iraq is in the terrible situation. the occupiers who came with their tanks harmed iraq, and it's people, as i have said, in many television interviews, the u. s. troops did not find weapons of mass destruction. instead they planted weapons of mass destruction in the form of these political parties and governors

who ronnie rock in their own interests and have destroyed it more than the occupier ever did. iraq was under their control, but there was resistance. they took part in some of the rebuilding, but the spread corruption. that is the case in all the countries that they have occupied by the head. we provide many of the materials around the us invasion of iraq to mock this grim iverson saying with us for more human interest stories and other details about the movie campaign. throughout the day, poland would enter the ukraine conflict. i'm fight against russia if caves mercy on old. somebody failed, love a coin to poems, bastards, a fellow nato member sate france. and he spoke is as an im, recent interview on the french television. swell is a ukraine will defend its independence or else we will be obligated to enter into

this conflict because our principal values that of the foundation of all civilization of our culture will fundamentally be in danger. so we have no choice holes, ambassador, the paris just went on one of francis top news networks and basically told the french people that poland is willing to drag the rest of the west into a full blown frontal war with russia. why? because ukraine's independence is threatened, he says, warsaw now try to back pedal in connection with the comments on the interview given by ambassador roches shasky to the french station. now see i on much the 18th this year, we would like to know that it is interpreted by some media in isolation from the context in which it was given. careful listening to the entire conversation allows us to understand that there is no statement about poland, direct participation in the conflict. but only a warning about the consequences of ukraine defeats the possibility of russia attacking or involvement of the central european countries in the war. like the baltic states and poland,

but the ambassador sure didn't seem worried about keith's independence when the u. s. state department was setting up shop in ukraine after leading regime changed against his president victory new coverage back in 2013 for refusing to assign a cooperation deal with europe in favor of a more independent position visa v. russia and the west. and where was the same polish ambassador to uphold those values of independence when the u. s. poured cache into poland, the u. s. congress approved $288000000.00 worth a foreign military finance. just last year for warsaw. sh with washington playing sugar, daddy is poland, really in a position to claim independence as a core value. let alone one worth dragging the whole western world into war with russia to defend. now french, your deputy terri, mariani has just pointed out that warsaw is now going further than washington in providing fighter jets to ukraine, which washington still the least for now refuses to do the kind of weapons. but he

and he says that can hit deep into russian territory. now clearly a huge risk of major escalation. here you have the polish president says that war sauce make 20 nines will arrive in ukraine within days. and the rest of the wes just shrugs, i guess, by the way, the people of france. so you know, the audience that the polish ambassador to paris was addressing on french t v. i certainly not agreed to rush in behind. poland for a war with russia just because both warsaw and keith have this totally delusional view of themselves as independent and not washington's paid shields, doing its dirty work against russia. now germany and france, the economic and military powers of europe have at least tried at times throughout this whole crisis to temper the gung ho washington rhetoric around the great conflict. but poland has been at the forefront of pushing for escalation and every turn 1st was supplying tanks and now with fighter jets and this ambassador now just

casually calling for a head on war between russia neo senior research for the global policies issued in london. good, as the movie says, the polish envoys claims on food fall from, but countries official position. i think it's entirely consistent with the kinds of slogan airing we've heard from duda and the polish up prime minister. so i think that it, that he is speaking on behalf of the government. it's a lot of bravado here at the same time. the problem arises by the fact that essentially the if the noisiest characters in nato that have been doing most of the running, which is colon the baltic states and the united kingdom. and of course, behind it all stand.
