country, the chinese leader that vladimir put non what is his 1st international trip following his re election. i, person putin, i've always referred to you as, my dear friend. it's such a great pleasure for me to receive your invitation and to visit russia once again on a state visit. especially since this event happens right after my re election as president of the people's republic of china. and i chose in russia as my 1st foreign visit. china attaches great importance to developing russia, china relations, considering that there is a historical logic behind this. we are the largest neighboring states and we have a comprehensive, strategic partnership and friendship. it is this status that compels us to establish close ties and relations in terms of russia and china's development of an international strategic agenda. we need to ensure fairness and equality in the world. we need to promote prosperity for our own countries. martinez, dave sweeney,

has more on what the cheerleaders hoped to get out of the visit t as arrived in moscow for this crucial meeting with her russian president vladimir putin. perhaps on surprisingly, it's called some alarm among the western countries who've sought to undermine those relations, presenting them both as a threat. this is in stark contrast to the reality come soon off to china, proposed a 12 point piece proposal, a roadmap to ending the conflict in ukraine, which is something that mister putin said to day. he's taken seriously. he came reiterated at russia's commitment to peace or negotiations. i've carefully read your proposal to resolve the acute crisis, new crane, and of course, we will take the opportunity to discuss this issue more. we recognize that you proceed from the principles of justice and 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 our 2 countries. interaction in the international arena, contributes to strengthening the principles of the world order and multi polarity. in recent years, china has made a huge leap in its development all over the world. this has evoked genuine interest, and we even envy you a little bit. the 2 liter spoke about friday between the 2 nations. a vladimir putin said that this is, i am more than double to 185000000000 dollars dollars, hugely significant. and they're going to be talking about more about the economic ties nick economics with in those talks to morrow. she said, as we heard already, he said it was his pleasure to visit moscow. he described rusher as a, as, as a friend. 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. had

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 a neighboring a neighboring countries. they talk 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 back in washington. concern is rising. the chinese leader will use his mosque out visit to intensive. i efforts to reach a truth with key ad and leave ration trips in ukraine. we are concerned that instead, china will reiterate calls for a cease fire that leaves russian forces inside ukraine sovereign territory. and he sees fire that does not address the removal of russian forces from ukraine, would effectively ratify russia's illegal conquests, enabling russia to entrench its positions, and then to restart the war at a more, our advantage is time for them are to spoke with

a former greek and master who believes president, she's visit to moscow, presents are real chance of achieving peace. but the west will do anything to oppose it. i think it's a message of peace, that at last humanity must face the question of living in peaceful conditions. we must take it into consideration what the chinese president said before me being a china. he said that the criminal court 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, underneath that was the references to what the united states had done. it's a tax various countries for the past 2030 years. that was

a very important to me. 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, which would be a breakthrough. we're discussing peace and the west does not want peace. that is the big issue. and i think that after the documents are signed tomorrow, we will have a new conditions that will promote attempts to have a peaceful solution to the situation in ukraine, which is for the benefit of all a few minutes prior to welcoming the chinese leader at the kremlin president address other multi polar world constituents. i think international russia, africa parliamentary conference monday morning here in the capitol. the event is attended by delegation from over 40 african nations and is aimed at strengthening

economic and political ties between russia and the continent. during his speech, he said that the black sea green deal has only benefited those with their plates fall. this day on the full 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 grain deal be insured. and depending on this, we will decide on or further participation with love. or 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 that off every to extend it to make sure it 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 had quoted ukraine, only 3 percent actually made it to africa and those are needed most was a 45 percent went to the as he put it. 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. whereas russia, for, it's quite sense. 20000000 tons of grain to africa alone. and it's all clear whether rochelle will go on to extend the grain deal beyond the 60 days that it's not accepted by budget. wanted to reassure african countries that they would not be abandoned yet and was just keeping the vision. and if we decide not to extend the deal after 60 days, the 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 have 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. but one issue that kept being repeated over and over here today is what parliamentarians, not only from russia but africa in particular. they're 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 they're not really benefit 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 you could say, and it was a very, very successful one. russia is deputy minister of foreign affairs. it says there has been no real progress from western partners to meet the requirements that russia has put forward as a condition to extend the black sea crane deal after the expiration of the agreed upon 60 days. bring me up the glistened, lids, substantial progress will be decisive for us in terms of decision making after or during the upcoming 60 days. what are these requirements? we have clearly stated this and have previously told all the parties and the you and representatives on them. first of all, we're talking about reconnecting the russian agricultural bank to swift resume in

the supply of agricultural machinery and spare parts servicing. lifting restrictions on insurance and lifting the ban on access to ports for our ships. restoring the operation of the toyota, odessa, ammonia pipelines, and am blocking foreign assets and accounts of russian companies related with the production and transportation of food and fertilizers. we have said that there is still no real progress in meeting these requirements with the b r t had a chance to speak with some of the guest on the sidelines of the conference, including nigeria and master to russia, expects cooperation between moscow and the governments at africa to expand. this is a what i do have relatives and who should be there. paperless is important to dipping cool pollution in all sectors, but particularly in the area for them to cool pollution. no deployment is an important goodwin as well. you're moving to internet with one another,

so that the understand themselves and also look into issues that become to pin beltran corporation. so we hope that to disturb conference. i will call them and do it as with loops. and i did to play competitive areas of coal pollution with air defense systems had been in action over crimea, bringing down a drought. one person was injured after being hit by debris from the falling aircraft. one private house was almost destroyed, entirely destroyed by the local power grid suffered some damage. a grocery store was also set ablaze after the drone came down. emergency services are working at the st. ah, to france now, and there have been violence scenes of the streets of paris where crowds

demonstrating against pension reform plans have clashed with police. ah, this is some of the latest footage of the clashes police use tear gas and baton against the protesters. on monday, the national assembly of france rejected 2 votes of no confidence in the government called over the plans to raise the retirement age by 2 years to 64. earlier, the iranian foreign ministry criticized french authorities for the violence seen against the protesters over the weekend and called out the fact that the west has remained silent on the issue. the french police, resorting to violence against protests, is indicative of the french government known commitment to the principles of democracy and freedom of expression advised to enjoy behavior and instrumental use of human rights stop resorting to violence and dealing with protesters that sans,

in stark contrast to what happened with iran, where there was widespread anger towards t. ron over its handling of nationwide protest their mass demonstrations broke out over the death in police 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 rick lot feels that the west approach of criticizing what happens elsewhere was staying quiet about developments at home smacks of hypocrisy. i think the main lessons from this is that each county should take care of his own internal affair and not intervening to intervene in those over the counties. because obviously he has no means to impose any sanctions on france to, with global west is imposing sanctions on their hands. now maybe the impression in

your hand is so unwilling to believe that it's a harsh of them in france, but the hand is super subjected to a series of sanctions. evans scenes evolution of 79. that's the book. izzy. i mean, is always, i mean, the west is of good read all has been said on the road and so on. kind of every event, houston, he's got presented. if it can be blame on the rochelle, the chinese uranium students are then it's good for women. if it's blame on the west and government and simply know, they think the most efficient in france are both in the united states are hardly hardly hopeful from united states as well as a new ah, now to can yet or 50 oppositional and university students had been arrested for holding a meeting without a permit. the students were arrested on saturday. i had a monday scheduled opposition demonstration over the country economic struggles. they were addressing a press conference, hurting others to join the anti government. of that over 50 participants were said

to have been detained for meaning without the knowledge of authorities. the arrests provoked a strong response from the opposition for accusing officials of silencing their voices. we spoke with locals who blame the unstable economy on kenya's leadership. let me look in lieu of yet not so much. oh dear. as a young canyon, i am allowed by the constitution to exercise by democratic right? just what i will demonstrate until the government listens to me. my family is at home without food, you know, job and nothing at all. will that the food is expensive even at the market places and the majority of us are really struggling to make ends meet. institution said a guardian, you minute, amanda man. i am taking part in today's demonstration here in kenya and laying the blame on the government for all the problems we are facing as a nation. we cannot even buy a packet of mayflower for our children, which is roughly $200.00 shillings your cooking. oil is the same during that time. it's all very expensive. and to make the matter worse, the economy has been doing poorly. women as opposed to mazin, i'm highly supporting today's demonstrations in kenya because we were promised by

the president goes that when he immediately resumes office, life will be affordable needed right now i have 4 children and one of them is disabled. the lab will most feeding these 4 is an issue. life is becoming expensive all over, even in the rural areas. what was it? honestly, i could not manage to feed them. our chinese warship pass arrived in cambodia for a joint military drill code named golden dragon 2023. the event will run until early next month. our total of more than $3000.00 troops from both sides are taking part are equipped with more than $300.00 vehicles. and various types of armaments, this year's event or focus on joint security exercises for major events, humanitarian work, and cultural exchanges. and an emergency rescue deals, switzerland biggest bank, u. b, as has agreed to buy credit suisse, that's after the value shares, and it's rival plunge 25 percent over the last week. the move is designed to quote,

secure financial stability and protect us with economy in the wake of the failure of 2 major us banks. however, the decisions raised more than a few eyebrows as major creditors have seen their death entirely written off. my colleague, worry to shake, discuss the issue with rti contributor chris, and you just imagine being an investor, someone that you know in an institution or, or even individual, his outdoor net was trusted. their money with credit suisse, which no way from an in the k. right, credit speech is seen as the top tier of banks in which the paul to pass in. right . but that's clearly not the case here. you know, we have even today that, that there is now talking about people, the bondholders, right for who are not just explain to be home, be the 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 ma, 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, 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 going to get compensated for it. and they're not really going to get any sort of clarification as to why they weren'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 then, 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 big players like that on really shaky ground? i mean, do you see some sort of knock on from? yeah, well really, 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 in it 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 seeing that. i mean, we've seen that just by the fact that the fed has now we of a fit with 5 central banks globally, what they call a credit swap line. sorry, i don't actually know what that mean. yeah. if you like, what i mean. 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 for they need that central bank, but i still get alive. 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 be? 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, 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 them have enough dollars to do it. even though the saudis is going to charge more dollars to the barrel because it was less. but in the long time, it's just going to hon, the poor people in society. but those are the people hit by inflation rory. 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 have 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 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, it, you know, they can't really stop, you know, they, trying to, they using ukraine is a proxy, 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 in history, they can't stop the war because that's just be honest. you and i and, and most people want fight finance. so what are they going to do to fix the economy? well, it remains to be seen. ah, it has now been to decades since washington put boots on the ground in iraq or the falls for each acts. the country possessed weapons of mass destruction. artsy

continues a special coverage of the conflict, was through the oil rich middle eastern country in chaos and destabilize the region . ah. 20 years of war, life, the country and ruins at around a 1000000 civilians. dead rushes ambassador to the un says the west has not drawn on the experience of the past, and is continuing to make mistakes by escalating the war. a new crane. after 20 years, the losses from us aggression. luke are still not glint use because not the priestly apologise or acknowledge the devastating consequences always fabricated. a good many of those who warm on good, then continue to war one gamma. if the catering formal weapons to be said to create to few, not the proxy, what was russia and ukraine until the last to create and claiming that before the

21st february 2022, the world hasn't seen anything more terrible as if the world started totally on in march 2003, missiles rang down on baghdad. the u. s. invasion caused massive destruction and left an estimated 1000000 people debt. this is how it started. 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. the war sharpened divisions in the country and lead to intense sectarian violence. but that had been given little thought in the congress 1st began when i witnessed describe what happened when missiles battered baghdad in march 2003.

it was very difficult for the country, and for all iraqis citizens on that day, a disaster struck my nephew was killed in the 1st strike on that god damn day bushes, 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 u. s . anticipated a swift and clear victory. however, the reality on the ground was quite different as forces struggle dismounting, losses private military contractors were brought in, but the situation only worsen amid reports of war crimes, and atrocities inflicted on civilians. the private military company, blackwater killed 17 and wounded 20 after opening fire while on a u. s. military convoy escort or journalist investigating the massacre, so civilians feared any one could be shot in the street. 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 process boy were killed by blackwater, p. m. c. 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 the u. as a new k governments, official position for the invasion was that a rock possessed weapons of mass destruction, but contradictory evidence exist it. david kelly, ebert or scientists, and leading w. m. d expert testify that officials knew the accusations about the arms were false and disputed. tony blair's statement, kelly was later found dead. the host of going under ground says, there is

a long history of suppressing true narratives in britain if they go against the government. it was dr. david kelly, who i talk to as a program i worked for the today program. he explained clearly that the british government were deliberately the words of the report or andrew gilligan used to have the show sex style pre information about w m d. and when he later testified that a parliament re timothy, he was put under the pressure and he was found dead. but this is a long line of information troubles in britain. we must remember that while at the moment, britain may be torturing julian songs, that the long history in which any attempt to try to get the truth in britain in the media is suppressed and 20 years on the iraq war example of dr. david kelly is just one of them. interesting that the family of dr. david kelly hardly speak about

the death of the breadwinner in the family. the government scientist bad. when you look at an example of another person who didn't die because of what he wanted to try to communicate to the british public. but previous director general of the b c, l to mill is found, eventually became the oppositional labor parties press spokesperson jeremy gorman's best mode throughout the moon. he was fired and there was all prepared to talk about the british broadcasting corporation was suppressed by the british government and he was threatened with losing his pension rights. the kinds of pressure to bear on people in the media range from that to what's happening to junior sans, to what happened to dr. david kelly. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you next time

with ah i mentioned redundancy and welcome back to going underground broadcasting all around the world from dubai in the u. e. today marks 20 years since the u. s. a in britain launched an unprovoked invasion of iraq, which would lead to tens of millions killed,

wounded or displaced in wars throughout the region and beyond. the iraq invasion was characterized by a new type of military strategy shock and or defined by using of whelming, forced to break the perceived enemies, will to resist no nature power would officially count the number of iraqi civilians killed. it's now routine across most of humanity to quote iraq loan, afghanistan, libya, and syria nations in africa and latin america as emblematic of how the ukraine conflict today is now seen as the birth of a new world order. well, the national security strategist behind the shocking or doctrine doctor holland omen joins me for today's episode from washington. dcs, actively advised u. s. government officials and the heads of governments around the world as well as nature strategic command is and secretaries general. he's the current senior advisor of the atlantic council chair, the kilbourne group. thank you so much for coming on to us 20 years since since this sir. seismic a change in the world, you design shock and all how do you reflect on it today.
