2:05 pm
the strong historical bonds between russia and china as neighboring a neighboring countries. they talked about prosperity and security and the are the discussions ready? the, such as an ice breaker, they will continue in early as tomorrow. i will keep you updated earlier my colleague worry so shay, discuss the issue with a pair of international affairs experts beside the prospects of growing russian chinese cooperation is essential for both countries. i would call it an existential partnership trip. and that deals with those are the key. she has that impression, not only shaping the new international order, but also positioning china and russia, and all the bricks, countries as very important a power players that will really changed in a cheerless, international order that most important making sure that the multiple world takes place. so out of the, the key agenda item that you mention,
2:06 pm
there are 2 that i think i should have worn and flag is basically the idea that the bricks are very important. and as you know, the next summit is taking place here in south africa in august. i think this is going to be a 3rd. what meeting as of the greeks plus the expansion of the brakes and so forth . but also the fact that this summits or be so important, thanks to africa, to an out, if well organized and clearly put together will govern the rest of the relationship on the greeks. and then the 2nd one is the idea that the united states now is becoming more and more the aggressive than the peacemaker. and so the role of the threat of president she going to church to russia is extraordinary. when i think residency is really raised, the bar of global peace today and will be very difficult to needed. and it is told that with president will be able to cut
2:07 pm
a deal in the korean war. not quite sure. but it's something that the whole world thursday for pete will be looking forward to it. but we have to say, let's give them credit and hopefully stop, go, come. strong comments as well out of in over to your comments. i mean, is the west view the polar world now being struck by this budgeting, multi polar world, this is something is really upsetting for the rest of the world because this is a very structured lead time was that i think i, let's, let's, let's go back and forth with you, we're not the, the africa just taking place where we should have been in moscow east the time when same. so just before coming to russia, he was being appointed s. c m's chairman on. so the president of china just before the china ro could a great deal between the, the ruby and iran, as a peacemaker. and then taking what the president and the see them see mc
2:08 pm
chairmanship coming to moscow to broker apiece and try to give a prospect in ideas for bricks is not only the bricks with chinese work working with much larger positioning chinese working with indian russia in russia. and china product, an agent as well. as soon as he goes back to charmer, he's going to ball conference, which is again, you cannot make summit, which is going to start from 28. so you will see that the would march this month has been fully packed, and germany is doing a lot of leg work to, to, to prove that it can do a lot of heavy lifting when it comes to security, pays and brokering harmony. i'm like monday countries of consent prior to welcoming the chinese leader at the kremlin president address other multi polar world constituents at the international russia, africa parliamentary conference monday morning. here at the capital. the event is attended by delegations from over 40 african nations and is aimed at strengthening
2:09 pm
economic and political ties between russia and the continent. during his speech, he said that the black sea grain deal has only benefit those with their plates fall . 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 countries. cp, 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 taken into account our position will a fair and comprehensive implementation of the black sea green deal be insured. and depending on this, we will decide on our further participation of, oh, vladimir putin said that his eager to see that the grain reaches those who need it the most, which is why russia agreed to the great deal to begin with and off every to extend
2:10 pm
it make sure to whole to help those who needed the most. but he's disappointed with the fact that what we've seen is out of 827 ships at the clotted frame. only 3 percent actually made it to africa and those who need it most was a 45 percent went to the as he put it well fed europeans and these other europeans who have been accused in russia of put in people's lives in danger, by supposedly prompting this global food crisis, whereas russia for it's quite sense 20000000 tons of grain to africa alone. and it's unclear whatever ourself will go on to extend the grain deal beyond the 60 days that is now accepted by wanted. wanted to reassure african countries that they would not be abandoned. yes. and which just keep it in addition. and if we decide not to extend the deal after 60 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
2:11 pm
course, got lots of cheers from the crowd as the news over $20000000000.00. dad to write for african countries. they're really enjoyed 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, increased to $18000000000.00 in the past year. and vladimir putin emphasized that he will continue to prioritize corporation with african coin to please in particular, 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 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,
2:12 pm
their values and traditions. and so they're look into 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 touch struck, he could say, and it was a very, very successful one. are to have a chance to speak with some of the guest on the sidelines of the conference, including the deputy chairman of russia's federation council, who says there that contributes to uniting a multi polar world. the both african countries and russia. aspire to mr. there is no doubt that the conference is a very important event for both russia and africa were all feel uncomfortable in a world at western countries of trying to loads up for themselves. they tried to make his unipolar. there is no equal place for all countries in this world. african countries have their own culture, their own history,
2:13 pm
their own values. western countries have played a fatal role in the development of african. a lot of countries are still under pressure and political pressure as well. i'm sure this approach does not meet the national interests of african countries. the crucial point for us is to allow each country and opportunity to defend its values in accordance with his own understanding of how this should happen. in our approaches, we absolutely coincide with the countries of africa, as well as with the countries of the arab world, asia, latin america, the whole world is now uniting over the idea of a multiple, a wall to somebody's. meanwhile, south africa is bracing for a nation wide labor strike as political opponents call for president refused to resign. the country's leader has denounced those demand calling them an undemocratic attempt at regime change. south africa is governed by the rule of law . we are
2:14 pm
a constitutional democracy regime change can only come about through the vote. it cannot come about through anaki unleashing this order in a country. the economic freedom fighters party claims the main goal is to force president well associate to step down. they've accused him of failing to rude our corruption and address rising unemployment in the country. this spirit shows for testers gathering in pretoria with political opposition leaders rallying the crowds . artie corresponding corolla reports from the scene say south africa's opposition party. in this case, the 3rd largest or political party in the country is represented in the south african parliament, the economic freedom fighters. i demanding that the settle them a plaza does the step down. they say,
2:15 pm
according to the lead of the party julius molina that the country is tired of the constant rolling blackouts and the high unemployment, the high crime rate, as well as the dwindling and failing economy. here is his deputy, who had an interview with me earlier when a huge crisis which as a to his to years of rideau will must take much more decisive action on we cannot wait, we elections what the action, what to king means on the 20th of march, is to say, let us move this subject to weakness is august beat, and that includes the head of speech and death is what you're finding within the country. as the overwhelming mood and the former leader of south africa's, the 2nd biggest opposition party will now lead a civil society movement called one south africa. missed i'm losing my money with he starts. but once i'm africa needs at the moment is economic growth. south africa needs at the moment, the inforcement of the law,
2:16 pm
and it did soon show that it delivers on a subject of switches to keep the lights on. so as for the events on monday, a national shut down, there's not something that's going to house. there is no doubt that the e f. f has certainly made a mark for itself. the south african government has been seen as rather damaging as goering to make sure that there is no repeat of 2 years ago. when we had the july riot went for some extended period of them. 5 days we saw malls going up in flames . we saw warehouses going up in flames, and it seemed like us the of anaki. now this time, the south african government has moved swiftly deploying over 3400 soldiers to add to the security as well as the metro police that you find in different localities. they have really come out of this looking rather worried and where i've been now more items ending in the capital city pretoria. but india, when i was enjo,
2:17 pm
hattiesburg, i founded to be rather reminiscent of the coven days, rather looking like a ghost town. g. re silence. if you will, and that according to the police minister, just goes to show how well the police have done this time. and am, are in an emergency rescue deal switzerland's biggest bang you be ass has agreed to buy credit suisse. that's after the value shares and it's rival plunged 25 percent over the last week. the move is designed to quote, secure financial stability and protect the swiss economy in the wake of the failure of the 2 major us banks. however, the decisions raised more than a few eyebrows as major creditors have seen their dads entirely written off. my colleague, re sushi, discussed the issue with archie contributor chris ems to just imagine being an investor, someone that you know in an institution or, or even individual. he's out your high net was trusted, the money with credit suisse,
2:18 pm
which no way from an in the u. k. right. credit speech is seen as the top tier of banks in which part to pass in. right? but that's clearly not the case. you know, we have even today that they are now talking about people, the bondholders, right for who are not just expensive use a home. these are people that have that the bank has borrowed money from. so that's usually institutions or it's usually people like that. now the switch regulates a fidmar, which is known globally as being one of the top regulators in the world, usually takes very prudent, very conservative decisions as approved this merger and said, look, all of those bonds that existed all that, that you learn, credit suisse, that's worth 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 won't. you know, one thing a lot of analysts like to talk about it 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 what i mean? especially when you see start big players like that on really shaky ground. i mean,
2:19 pm
do you see some sort of knock on for me? yeah. if you'd have ask me that question a week ago when you and i sat down last time to talk about silicon valley bank, you know, 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 5 central banks globally, what they call a credit swap line. sorry, i don't actually know what that mean. yeah. well, if you want me to try. absolutely. so what a credit lied basically means is there are not enough us dollars in central bank with it internationally in order to service the us dollar talking thing as it is. they need more dollars. but the fact is, the banks himself can't get them quick enough from the fed, so they need that central bank that makes the get a load. now the biggest problem bowwie is that the fed doesn't have that many us dollars in reserve. so what do they have to do? you know, it's what we was discuss the day that going to have to print more money again. what happens that we've been over this time and time again? since the end of last year, you're going to really, really create more,
2:20 pm
a more inflation. okay. in the long term, in the short term, even you're going to have the ability to buy saudi arabian oil in dollars and have enough dollars to do it. even though the saudis is going to charge more dollars for the barrels because it was less. but in the long term, it's just going to hurt the poor people in society. but those are the people hit by inflation movie. it's not the people that sit in their ivory towers in the, in the, in the banking system. they get hit by that they build a massive multibillion dollar bonuses, but the person really struggling to get by just to feed the family is the one that gets hit by 1020 percent, even 30 percent inflation rises. western economy looks to be in trouble. economies with the 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, robi, because wherever they going to get the money from, that's the problem. you know, it, you know, they can't really stop. you know, they trying to,
2:21 pm
they using ukraine is approx, you know, that you try and 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 in history, they can't stop the war because that's just be honest. you and i and, and most people won't fight finance. so what are they going to do to fix the economy? well, it remains to be seen. indian 6 have clash with police outside the british high commission office in new delhi. they've been expressing their outrage over an incident in the u. k. against the indian flag. protesters attempted to enter the commission pharmacist, but police held them back. the demonstration came after members of the supper this tallow stand, independent group tearing down the indian flag on new galleys high commission office in london. india has criticize the british government for what it calls an inadequate response to the incident. ah, launched a strong protest and also clearly indicated to the british authorities
2:22 pm

2:24 pm
of human rights stop resorting to violence and dating with protesters. france has been gripped by nationwide protest for 2 months now, over president my cons pension reform plans. the demonstrations have frequently turned violent with crowds clashing the police. however, there has been little criticism throughout europe to the scenes unfolding in france . that stands in stark contrast to what happened neuron, where there was widespread anger towards tay ron over its handling a nationwide protest. their mass demonstrations broke out over the death and who is custody of a young woman. and the french president was one of the most vocal critics. i am in favor of a strong diplomatic reaction and sanctions on the figures of the regime who have a responsibility in the repression of this revolution. political commentator john breck lot, feels the west approach of criticizing what happens elsewhere while staying quiet about developments at home, smacks of host parker c. i think the main lessons from this is that each county
2:25 pm
should take care of his own internal affair and not intervene. him pay to intervene in those over the counties because obviously he has no means to impose any sanctions on france to with global waste is imposing sanctions on the hand. now maybe the impression in your hand is so, and willing to believe that it's a harsher than in france, but the hand, the suit subjected to a series of sanctions. evans seems that of a nation of 79. that's the book. see, i mean, is always, i mean, the west is of good was always been said on the roads and so on came, every event is niko presented. it can be blame on the how shall the japanese uranium based in cetera. then it's good for them. if it's blame all the way, some government and simply knew they did, the dental vision in france on the top of it, in the united states are highly hardly hope. all of them united states, as well as a new ah, a video circulating on the internet, allegedly shows
