12:03 pm
it's called some alarm among the western countries who sought to undermine those relations, presenting them both as a threat. now she's visit comes of course, just days after the international criminal court issued what some say is a politically motivated arrest, arrest warrant against her against mr. poot. him with the u. s. a. cause again accusing china in recent weeks without evidence. all planning to send arms to russia to use in ukraine, but this is in stark contrast to the reality come soon after china propose a 12 point piece proposal, a roadmap to ending the conflict in ukraine, which is something that mr. poodle said to day. he's taken seriously, he again reiterated roches commitment to peace negotiations. something has been unbind actively by the west, as we know who continue to flood those conflict zones with arms and wishing no good . we have many joint tasks and goals. i know that our chinese friends pay great
12:04 pm
attention to sign or russian relations, or chinese friends have a balanced position on the most pressing international issues. i have carefully read your proposal to resolve the acute crisis in ukraine, and of course, we will take the opportunity to discuss this issue more when we recognize that you proceed from the principles of justice in compliance with international law in indivisible security for all countries. you are also aware that we are always open for negotiations. we will discuss all these issues and your initiatives, which we respect in our 2 countries. interaction in the international arena, contributes to strengthening the principles of the world order and multi polarity in the 2 nations. it was saying have been very busy in recent weeks. china has recently negotiated this potential piece deal between the old rivals around and saudi arabia, which could have a huge global implications. and of course, bringing an end to that conflict in, in yemen. and just last week. 3 mister putin met with the syrian president,
12:05 pm
pat alford and hi on their their agenda was resolving the conflict in sin syria. this recruitment between damascus and turkey so that the 2 nations really is in stark contrast to the western portrayed of them as aggressive. and they're making acting as peacemakers and, and mediators. now, of course, the 2 countries, the 2 leaders spoke about trade between the 2 nations. her vladimir putin said that this is, i'm more than double to 185000000000 dollars dollars. hugely significant. and they're going to be talking about more about the economic ties, nick economics, where in those talks to more of course, the 2 nation to absolutely central to the bricks alliance and the shanghai corporation organization. those are 2 emerging organizations are playing a major part in well politics and, you know, the g said, as we heard earlier, he said it was in moscow. he described russia as, as a friend,
12:06 pm
and he again reiterated this commitment to the multi polar world. he spoke in a statement just as he landed, he was talking about the idea, the commitment to international law and to the principles of the un charter. has the message today with one about a very much one about the relations between the 2 nations, the strong historical bonds between russia and china as neighboring, neighboring countries. they talked about prosperity and security and the, the discussions ready. this is just an ice breaker. they will continue in earnest tomorrow and will keep you updated. i taking this conversation father here, when i see international crossing live to form a greek ambassador leaders, chris on top of the season. now joining us here on the program i just off to 7 pm masika time a variable welcome to use i. thanks very much for coming on the program. what days we're living through some people saying these are the days the history books will be writing about. what do you think?
12:07 pm
what kind of signal does gigi pings visit to russia send to the rest of the world? i think it's a message of peace that at last humanity must face the question of living in, in peaceful conditions. we must take it into consideration what the chinese president said before leaving china, where he made a reference about the criminal court of the hague. and the decisions that he took that it took to send to the arrest warrant against the russian president. he said that the criminal court of, of the hague must take into consideration of other issues also and must not blame one side. it must be more objective about it, of course. and underneath that was the references to what the united states had
12:08 pm
done in it's a fax from various countries for the past 2030 years. that was a very important thing. but the issue is now that he's in moscow, chinese president is going to insist on this piece. initiative is 12 point piece. it initiative, which will be, which would be a breakthrough. we're discussing peace in europe and in the world. of course. now i'd like to add to that if the americans start taking a negative stance against china and the fact that china is visiting officially, the chinese presidents officially busy thing. the rational press put in and it starts creating problems so excited that the states must remember, that china owns about 970000000000 of us treasury
12:09 pm
bonds. and if the u. s. starts exercising too much pressure on china, and china decides to sell these treasury bonds that the united states will have a serious. but the problem is what people call it the nuclear option. mr. kristen, couple of some people call it a nuclear economic auction. if indeed, china, what a dumb it's us read us treasury bonds nearly as nearly a trillion. i think, as you said, this could be like a nuclear. right? right, right. so, i mean, this is what's interesting because i'm well, i mean, right now you're getting these banks that have been collapsing in america. people are talking about a contagion effect, a domino effect. mr. chris, on top of it. before i get there, i wanted to ask you though, because i'm essentially western countries have been seeking to isolate russia both economically and diplomatically, but with friends like china and the bricks group. and do you think russia is actually crippled by the sanctions as the west expected?
12:10 pm
no, on the contrary, it's the wish that has been crippled by the sanctions. i mean, look what's going on in france. so of course france it's, it's, it's another issue. but a, but in increase also we're demonstrating we're demonstrating about the increase of cost we're in of the that the economy is not going well. and that is what effect of the sanctions that you do have some post on russia we're paying with the european people are paying for the sanctions and not the russian people. i was able to observe that when i went to, to september in st. petersburg, where life was continuing as it, as it had been since my last visit there in 2012. so it's, we, the europeans were paying for the sanctions, which actually i think that they are very stupid and they have nothing to do with, with influencing russia. well, i mean i, as you say that the european sanctions essentially have just boomerang in europe,
12:11 pm
is essentially just a sanctioned itself. and someone made an interesting comment. recently, the years of sanctions against russia have now almost amalgamated into a kind of la bullet proof vests in the event that the west has an economic collapse . and that's a conversation. i just don't have a time for with you right now, but i wanted to ask you this if i may, why a western leaders and the western press. so upset with a chinese president visiting moscow today because it, it stops there. busy busy there, have you call it? it stops their uniqueness of trying to have russia supper. we have, we have now with the chinese presence, their chinese handle state, visiting
12:12 pm
a sort of barrier country as is considered by the western and trying to create good dishes for peace and the west does not want peace. but this is a big issue. and i think that after the documents are signed tomorrow, we will have new positions that will promote attempts to have a peaceful solution to the situation in ukraine, which is for the benefit of all of humanity. well it's, it's a real shame because we were discussing it earlier here on the international the need is that washington has said, even if jim ping discusses a piece plan for ukraine with putin. washington says it's simply not interested form great. come back to the leaders, chris dan, publish joining us here. what are the international always a pleasure to see you? thank you very much. thank you. well, prior to welcoming the chinese lead at the kremlin or the russian president address
12:13 pm
other multi polar wealth constituents of the international russia, africa summit, it's happening. it started off today here on the russian capital of the event is attended by delegations from over 40 african nations and his aimed at strengthening economic and political ties between russia and the continent. during his speech, he laid out that the black sea grain deal has only benefited those whose plates are already full. unless they are in the pool of sibling, we insist on full compliance with key russian requirements. first of all, taking care that green and fertilizers go to the countries in need in africa, and not going to the well fed european market to well fed european country seat. the meanwhile of the total amount of green and cereals exported from ukraine about 45 percent went to european countries in only 3 percent to africa. i would like to emphasize that only taking into account our position will a fair and comprehensive implementation of the black sea green deal be insured. and
12:14 pm
depending on this, we will decide on our further participation. but now if it o vladimir putin said that his eager to see that the grain reaches those who lead at the most, which is why russia agreed to the great deal to begin with that off every to extend it, make sure it to whole, to help those who need it the most, but he's disappointed with the fact that what we've seen is out of 827 ships at the quoted ukraine, only 3 percent actually made it to africa. and those who need it most was a 45 percent. went to, as we could well fed europeans, and these are the europeans who have been accused in russia of put in people's lives in danger by supposedly fronting this global food crisis. was russia for it's quite sense. 20000000 tons of grain to africa alone. and it's unclear whatever shall will go on to extend the grain deal beyond the 60 days that i smell extended by wanted, wanted to reassure african countries that that would not be abandoned. yes, in which just keep him invitation. and if we decide not to extend the deal after 60
12:15 pm
days, that we are ready to deliver all the volumes that was sent to the countries in need in africa during the previous time from russia to these countries for free. this of course, got lots of cheers from the crowd as the news of a $20000000000.00 down to rights for african countries. they're really enjoy that. and this is just one of the many ways in which russia and africa strengthening their relation and their cooperation. a bilateral trade, for example, increase to $18000000000.00 in the past year. and vladimir putin emphasized that he will continue to prioritize walker ration with african coin to please in particular . but one issue that kept being repeated over and over here today is what parliamentarians, not only from russia about africa in particular, there are seen a tendency neil colonialism tendencies in africa right now. and we've heard opinion here that western countries seem to want to take advantage of african countries
12:16 pm
purely for their natural resources and then not really benefits in it. and in contrast, they see russia as a reliable partner. one that understands them understands are a history, their culture, their values and traditions. and so they're looking to both certain that relationship and they're also looking at other aspect science and technology of course, and also education. and this is all, of course, in the lead up of a major russia, africa summit that we are expecting at the end of july in st. petersburg. so this was a test drive he could say, and it was a very, very successful one. well, i mean time or india has increased its rice export to africa, helping the continent cope with devastating food shortages. open al to artic correspondent laundrin sharma in india and polo. and david in nigeria bringing us the story of what is a case of rising cooperation. oh, over the years, my jewess have enjoyed rise from india,
12:17 pm
particularly the buzz matter rise. but although the government has put in place measures to reduce importation and encourage local rise productions, fellas of the india rise, see my german flava point varieties, can not be questioned. right, this is of gluten free on low price on the it contains all the essentials, these are suit this low sodium consumers of derisive long, green mix. it stand out into bus material. i like it because it's it has a long green. it's name, i don't fussy, i don't fancy fatty rice. i eat healthy. i think i was right. it is. and i looked at it last month is more expensive. so not everybody i can afford to put those down . what they want can afford to care for less as it's all like me, family to restaurant was actually long green. does it for me? right. a petition into nigeria has been in
12:18 pm
a downward trend. some nigerians who prefer and depend largely on the indian rise. i refuse to accept homegrown rights varieties. 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 roy in the world by a big margin that has shielded so rural african countries and how africa shaping out to be india largest market africa has emerged as a lucrative market for indian rice exporters, india as
12:19 pm
a reliable and reasonable one for africa. india x forwards rise to over $150.00 countries. and out of the $14000000.00 tons of rice that has exported so far this year. over 9 millions of gone to africa alone. africa has traditionally been nobody large market photo with non bus monte days because racism is affected as compared to quality, which is so important in other markets, lake southeast asia, australia, e, with cetera, and know the estimate of ministry of agriculture is that 2122 we had 122000000 done, so what a sport actual africa has been importing roughly around 2 thirds of more than 2 3rd of wood. overall numbers my feet, a 6 foot india primary league sports spar boiled non basmati rice to africa. and since africa is a prize sensitive market, the benefits are
12:20 pm
a 2 way road. it gets both a good deal for tom and good quality at low prices. and 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 wife last september. it is unlikely to list the export ban any time soon to continue in shore food security at home. and india, despite the restrictions, has remained the world's largest exporter off rice by there is no impact on the old, all exports is primarily because of world are still looks at india is, you know, a supplier of race. and we have, we still have, despite 20 was in duty, we still have an edge or whatever competitors, i was referring to international phases yesterday. this $20.00 burgundy plan. so whether it is compared with thailand or pakistan, we still have been
12:21 pm
a so in the meantime, south africa is bracing for a nationwide labor strike as political opponents call for president pseudo. i'm a foster to resign. the country's leader had denounced that among calling them an undemocratic attempt at regime change. south africa is governed by the rule of law, where a constitutional democracy regime change can only come about through the vote. it cannot come about through, on a key unleashing this order in the country or the economic freedom fighters party, claiming the main goal is to force president grammar for sort of step down that accused him of failing to root out corruption and address rising unemployment. the following footage are showing protesters gathering in pretoria with political
12:22 pm
opposition leaders essentially rallying the crowds from one big story to another. here went off the international in an emergency rescue deal. switzerland's biggest bang u. b. s. as agreed to buy, credit suisse, and that's after the value shares, it's rival punch, 25 percent over the last week. at the movie designed to quote, secure financial stability and protect this was economy in the wake of the failure of at least 2 major us banks. however, the decision has raised more than a few eyebrows as major creditors have seen that debts entirely written off. i can't believe our members and you be a shareholders will be happy about this. i have never seen such measures taken. it shows how bad the situation is. one, it's always a pleasure to have chris adams here in the shooter to talk more about this. archie contributor with your fingers on the pulse. well, that's going to me as we go through so many changes these days. i don't even know
12:23 pm
where to start, chris. i mean, i'll give it a shot though. i woke up this morning. i checked the story about credit suisse. i saw that credit suisse shares had tanked by 63.7 percent below the u. b. s. takeover price. oh, yeah, yeah. you're absolutely right. i mean, you can just imagine being an investor, someone that you know in an institutional or even individual, his outdoor high net, was trusted. their money with credit suisse, which no way from an in the u. k. right. credit fees is seen as the top favorite bank in which the parking pass in. right? but that's clearly not the case. you know, we have to, even today that, that there is now talking about people, the bondholders, right for who are not just expensive is a home. these are people that have that the bank has borrowed money from. so that's usually institutions that it's usually people like that. now the switch regulate the fin law, which is known globally as being one of the top regulators in the world, usually takes very prudent, very conservative decisions, has approved this merger and said, look, all of those bonds that exist. it all that, that, that you learn credit suisse,
12:24 pm
that's what this now. so they just literally have just, you know, in effect stolen their money. they're not gonna get compensated for it. and they're not really going to get any sort of clarification as to why they want. it says, i mean one thing a lot of analysts like to talk about is the contagion effect. and the potential domino knock on if. and frankly, before the weekend, i didn't really know what i'd wake up to on this monday morning, but do you see when you, i mean, especially when you see start big players like that on really shaky ground? i mean, do you see some sort of knock on for me? yeah, well really, if you'd have asked me that question a week ago when you and i sat down last time to talk about silicon valley bank. yeah. personally, i mean, we were talking about it quite a lot of that. i wasn't sure that this would be, you know, so catastrophic. but we really thing that, i mean, we've seen that just by the fact that the fed has now we activated with central banks globally, what they call a credit swapped lot. yeah. i'm sorry, i don't actually know what that mean. yeah. if you like what it means. okay, absolutely. so what a credit for like basically means is there are not enough us dollars in central
12:25 pm
banks with it internationally in order to service the us dollar time thing as it is . wow. so you need more dollars, but the fact is, at the banks himself can't get them quick enough from the fed, so they need their central bank to basically get a load. now the biggest problem bowwie is that the fed doesn't have that many us dollars in reserve. so what are they going to have to do? you know, it's what we will discuss the day. they're going to have to print more money again . what happens that we've been over this time and time again since, since the end of last year, you're going to really, really create more, a more inflation. okay. in the long term, in the short semi, then you're going to have. so you know, the ability to buy saudi arabian oil in dollars and them have enough dollars to do it, even though the saudis is going to charge more dollars for the barrels because it's well less. but in the long time, it's just going to hurt the poorest people in society. those are the people hit by inflation movie. it's not the people that fit in their ivory towers. in the, in the, in the banking system, the get hit by that they have a massive multibillion dollar bonuses,
12:26 pm
but the person really struggling to get by just to feed their family is the one that gets hit by 1020 percent, even 30 percent inflation rises. if the common man isn't it, because the, as some people have said laws for the little people. no, no, chris, it's so good to have you in the studio today on this monday, which is a very, very important week ready for all of us in so many people around the world as well . the chinese president has touched on here at most. no, he also got the russia, africa summit going on, and the main template of all of this is out of not the emerging but now the, the blossoming, multi polio, multi polar world order. right. you've heard a lot of it being talked about. what do you think? what do you think of the significance of teaching, paying here at mosca today, especially in the wake of light, you know, the whole u. p. s. credit suisse and all that. i mean, things are happening that clearly happening really, i mean, just on my way into the studio today, here in moscow, the traffic's been stopped forever president. she wants to go. and you know that some strong signal i think, from the russian govern, just as to how important this meeting is, view the china and russia. and yeah, i think they're going to sit down. i think one of the things they're going to be
12:27 pm
discussing now is how they do not transact any more in the us dollar between each other and also in between each other and their allies, including the bricks, nation, switch that the leading players within the blog. and the, you know, saudi joining soon. you've had a saudi analyst on earlier studies, right? we're getting, we're getting noises that you know, even even these, these gulf states that you know, the time in memorial since that foundation of been so aligned and close to united states. interesting. now turning around and saying, hey, pay us him and be pay us in roubles. what does that do to the us dollar, but i personally think it makes it completely worthless. it was only of a worse something because it was the petro dollar. it was what was used to make oil and gas and energy flow around the world. if that doesn't exist anymore, what's it worth? very petrol. it's been around since $971.00. since the gold window was closed and kissinger went to react and he got this whole big deal. america will protect the saudis. if you just agree to export import, you know that an oil trade in u. s. america dollars and now we're looking at potentially a commodity backed currency with the bricks and all these countries around the
12:28 pm
world. whether it's the bricks or the shanghai cooperation organization, or the as the on group as well. it seems like people are protecting themselves now from, from the door. i mean, for example, just quickly, i don't know if it was the finance minister or even even a top premier of indonesia just have just about 4078 hours ago saying i just want to remind domestic businesses. the swift can be very dangerous for you if we get on the wrong side of washington. so consider other options. i mean ok, that was the end and easy guy. but do you think that that's more of a quiet, perhaps condensed and movement away from swift or protection? but i think so, i mean we saw this, we saw the last 30 days actually seen the price of bitcoin, for example, jump up by 35 percent, which is massive, right. depth. everyone said to me, oh, it's all of us now. it's back up again. but what that, what i think shows is that it's actually to help kind of big search for me, but institution and probably state by money coming into that is, you know, really yes. so, but i don't think it's big in itself. it's the underlying technology that really circumvent swift. right. and using that technology to trade and transact,
12:29 pm
i think could be the way in which we will go in the next even 18 months. yeah. yeah . yeah, just, i mean, i've got a few seconds ending. chris, what i'm, what do you think it's very, very briefly, please, a western economy looks to be in trouble. economies with a global south for example, seem to be, i guess, getting more protected among the strategic alliances that are taking place. is that, am i being a drama queen here? is that going to be some sort of economic collapse in the west or might be just being silly? i think it's a real real concern because wherever they going to get the money from, that's the problem. you know, if they can't really stop, you know, they trying to, they using ukraine is approx, you know, that you try to generate some money for them. but they can't start what they've always traditionally done in these kinds of scenarios. if we go back to history, they can't stop the war because that's just be honest. you and i and, and most people won't fight in it. so what are they going to do to fix the economy? well, it remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure. russia, china breaks their own if you don't want to directly to completely smash them out
12:30 pm
of the water. as you said, it is a reversible archie contributor chris adams. thank you very much. thanks valerie. thank you. i thank you for joining us here at this program. live from moscow, rachel blevins here on half an hour's time. i do hope you can join. the international criminal court is accused russia committing more crimes and ukraine. of course the by administration could not be more pleased. the i c, c u. c. has a long history of doing washington's bidding. the same court washington refuses to be part of the news .
