leaving one person injured after being hit by debris and switzerland's biggest. thank you vs wall is up. it's rival credit for after it's valued by a quarter over the last week. however, the moves provoked concern after predator saw their dads entirely written, not with coming to life, and they're actually capital. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the latest news. welcome to the program. ah, china's president has outlined a comprehensive strategic partnership with russia as a future benchmark of relations between states. she's in pain, summed up the current state of play as he embarked on an official visit to the

country. the chinese leader that vladimir put non what is his 1st international trip following his reelection? 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've chosen russia as my 1st foreign visit. china attaches great importance to developing brush at 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. i think steve sweeney has more on what the cheerleaders hoped to get out of the visit. she has 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 to propose a 12 points apiece proposal, a roadmap to ending the conflict in ukraine, which is something that mr. putin said to bay, he's taken seriously. he again, reiterated roches commitment to peace will 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 in compliance with international law, an 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 leaders spoke about right between the 2 nations. a vladimir putin said that this is, i am more than double to $185.00, a 1000000000 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 russia 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 that such as an ice breaker. they will continue in early as tomorrow and will keep you updated back in washington. concern is rising, the chinese leader will use his mask, our visit to intensive i. efforts to reach a truth with key ad and the 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 r,

advantages time for them. i spoke with a former greek and master who believed president. she's a visit to moscow present or real chance of achieving peace, but the west will do anything to oppose it. i think it's a message o 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. he said that the criminal court of. busy of the hague must take into consideration of other issues also and must not blame one side. it must be more objective about it. and 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 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, which would be a breakthrough court discussing peace and the west does not want peace. that is the big issue about. and i think that after the documents are signed tomorrow, we will have new conditions that will promote attempts to have a peaceful solution to the situation in ukraine, which is for the benefit of all of humanity. prior to welcoming the chinese leader at the kremlin president and address other multi polar world constituents at the international russia, africa parliamentary conference. monday morning. here in the capitol. the event is

attended by delegations 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. 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 depending on this, we will decide on our further participation. but i love it. oh, 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 cottage frame. only 3 percent actually made it to africa and those who need it most was a 45 percent went to 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 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 is now extended by wanted, wanted to reassure african countries that they would not be abandoned. yes. and which just keep him 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 course, got lots of cheers from the crowd as the news, all, but $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 they're not really benefit in it. and, and 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 bolster 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. russia's debt, the 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 seek rein deal after the expiration of the agreed upon 60 days. good me to plug this in, live 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 un representatives 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. i wish to w r t had a chance to speak with some of the guest on the sidelines of the conference, including nigeria and master to russia. expect cooperation between moscow and the governments at africa to expand. this is a broader terms and who should be there? paperless is important to do pinnacle pollution and, or was it does, but particularly into it for them to corp more deployment is an important of

government. i'm losing it to one another so that the understand themselves and also looked into issues that did come to convey electrical vision. so we hope that to disturb conference. i will call them and do it as with the ocean products. and i did to play competitive areas of coal pollution at advantages and to clean air defense systems have 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 destroy, entirely destroyed. while the local power grits 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 violent 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. please use tear gas and baton against the protestors. on monday, the national assembly of france rejected 2 votes, have 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 sale in stark contrast to what happened with iran, where there was widespread anger towards tay ron over its handling of nationwide protest their last 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 while 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 pay to intervene in those over the counties. because obviously he has no means to impose any sanctions on france. 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 seems that evolution is 79, and that's the book is e. i mean, it's always, i mean, the west is of good read only has been said on the road to its own country event. his knee scope presented. if it can be blame on the rochelle, the chinese uranium based on cetera, then it's good for, well then if it's blame on the wisdom government, it's simply not making the decision in france or both in the united states, or hardly, hardly hoping united states as well as a new one 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 of the country's economic struggle. they were addressing a press conference, merging 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 blamed the unstable economy on kenya's leadership . let me look in lieu of yet so much. oh, dear. as a young canyon, i am allowed by the constitution to exercise by democratic. right? yes. well, i will demonstrate until the government listens to me. my family is at home without food, you know, job and nothing, nothing at all 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, your minute amendment, 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 by him in as up williamson. i'm highly supporting today's demonstrations in kenya because we were promised by the president does that

when he immediately resumes office, life will be affordable needed right now i have 4 children and one of them is disabled. the bible major feeding these for is an issue. life is becoming expensive all over, even in the rural areas. what do most of it? honestly, i can not manage to feed them. i chinese war shit 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 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. ah, and an emergency rescue deals switzerland's biggest bank you b as has agreed to buy credit suisse bass 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 2 major us banks. however, the decisions raised more than a few eyebrows as major creditors have seen their dad's entire early written off. my colleague worries to shake, discuss the issue with rti contributor chris, and he just imagine being an investor, someone that you know in an institution or, or even individual, his outdoor high net was trusted by money with credit suisse, which no way from an in the k right, credit for the scene is the top tier bags in which the paul to pass in. right. but that's clearly not the case here. you know, we have even today that there is now talking about people, the bondholders right for who are not just explains to be at home. these people that have that the bank has borrowed money from. so that's usually institutions or it's usually people like that. now the switzer 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 as merger and said, look,

all of those bonds that existed all that, that, that you learned, 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 was 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 asked 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. if you like what it means. 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 see get a. 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? 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 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 are going to charge the more dollars to the barrel because it was less. but in the long time, it's just going to hug the poorest people in society. but 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, they get hit by that they have massive multibillion dollar bonuses,

but the person really struggling to get by just to feed that family is the one that gets hit by 1020 percent, even 30 percent inflation rises, worse than 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 generate some money for them. but they can't start what they've always traditionally, john, 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. it has now been 2 decades since washington per boots on the ground in iraq on the false precheck. the country possessed weapons of mass

destruction. artsy continues as special coverage of the conflicts were sir. the oil rich middle eastern country in the chaos and de stabilize the region. ah, 20 years of war left the country and ruins at around a 1000000 civilians dead. russia's ambassador to be un says the west has not drawn on the experience of the past, and is continuing to make mistakes by escalating the war in ukraine. after 20 years, the losses from the use aggression luke are still not glimpse use because not officially apologise or acknowledge the devastating consequences always fabricated . the goodish, many of those who woman good then continued to war, one gamma advocating for more weapons to be sent to ukraine. to few, not the brooks who was russia,

he knew craig until the last to create new and claiming that before the 21st february of 2022, the world prison seemed anything worth it 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 dead. 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. who's the war, sharpen divisions in the country and lead to and 10 sectarian violence. but that had been given little thought in the car was 1st began when i witnessed describe what happened when missiles battered baghdad in march 2003,

who 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 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 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 cries 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. toward blackwater, for me as a journalist is associated with something terrifying. i saw people in complete disarray, for example, there was always arrested. any resident could be shot dead on the street. this incident took place in the al cartler area. there was a turmoil. some passes by 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. s. u k. government's official position for the invasion was that a rock possess weapons of mass destruction, but contradictory evidence existed. david kelly, ebert or scientists, and leading w. m. d, expert testified that officials knew the accusations about the arms were false and disputed tony blair statements. kelly was later found dead, the host of going underground. so there is

a long history of suppressing true narrative than britain if they go against the government. it was dr. david kelly, who i talked to as a program i worked for the today program. he explained clearly that the british government were deliberately these words of the reporter andrew gilligan used to have for the show sexed up the information about w. m. d. and when he later testified as a parliamentary committee, he was put under a lot of pressure and he was found dead. but this is a long line of bi information troubles in britain. we must remember that while at the moment britain may be torturing julian assange. that's a long history in which any attempt to trying to get it. the truth in britain in the media is suppressed and 20 is 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, or perhaps one should 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. allister mil, his son eventually became the opposition labor parties, press spokesperson jeremy corbin's respirators. throughout the moon. he was fired and that was all prepared to talk about how the british broadcasting corporation was suppressed by the british government. and he was threatened with losing his pension rights, the kinds of pressure that are brought to bear on people in the media range from that to what's happening to julian assange 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. ah ah, ah. with so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk february the 1st 2000 or 3 at a un security council meeting u. s. secretary of state colin powell showed a vile, allegedly containing anthrax spores from iraq. it actually contained laundry detergent, march 20th, 2003. the u. s. army and its allies invaded iraq. april 9th, 2003. the u. s. army and coalition forces entered baghdad and tore down the statue of saddam hussein in fear door square. lay the 1st 2003 u. s. president george bush declared victory in the iraq war, december, the 30th 2006. saddam hussein was executed december the 15th
