[000:00:00;00] a a rush of also their strategic friendship during she ging visits of also to west sea is the worst nightmare coming through. all so ah, a lot, i think democratic principles by brutally crushing protests in paris. black turns a table the previous, the crosses prism, i call them a protest i and

a prominent us lawyer says the functions against russia could be detected if president fulton turns himself in to western authorities in the hague. despite russia, having brushed off the effects of those economic measures with you and welcome to all the international costing alive and for most of the our out, it's great to have you with us. i'm run, hold on. let's take a look at the top story. this our, the meeting between the neatest of russia i'm trying, ah, that's what i asked for is excited on jesus to hold official talks with his russian counterpart violem and put him 1st in a small meeting. and then in a broad, a gathering tries lead, a sheet in pink is on

a 3 day visit to moscow in his 1st trip abroad since he was re elected to historic the term. i am very pleased to be in moscow at your invitation, especially after another reelection. and i chose russia as the 1st country for a foreign visit. the chinese site base, great attention to relations between russia and china as this as its own historical logic. since we are the largest labor countries, great strategic bodies, residential visit to moscow is obviously attracting a lot of a global attention. so given that the china is now the world's 2nd biggest economy, and russia also placed a major, a rule on the war stage ahead over his visit to moscow president she filed at the article with the russian media heli, a new lesion, as well as a new blueprint for the bilateral relations and his friend,

the new friendship and cooperation. he wrote about the deep connections between china and russia. you know, a president, she himself had a visit to moscow 8 times over the past decade. and russia is also his 1st country . and what he visited after he became the head of state 10 years ago. and over the years, china and russia have a put in place and all around and multi tiered and cooperation framework. the number or the numbers can tell, you know, the bilateral trade exceeded a 190000000000 us dollars last year, up by a 160 percent from 10 years ago. and china has also be a rush, us largest trading partner for 13 years, running operations on major projects in feels like energy and the ations space. and connectivity is also moving forward as steadily and present. she also house the visit to be adjourning of friendship cooperation and piece of that both countries can adopt a new vision for a comprehensive china, russia,

strategic partnership in the years to come. so you can see that you can obviously see at this a deep rooted bilateral relations between china and russia on the wonder of, as she chose russia as he's a 1st and state visit. was he re elected i during the i 2 sessions, which does include concluded this much. we officially talks are planned for tuesday . the 2nd day of she's visit, one of the topics is expected to be ukraine. as it was a mouse by the russian had which he knew, i've carefully read your proposal to resolve you acute crisis in ukraine. and of course, we will take the opportunity to discuss this issue more. 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. one could explain to us what the chinese proposals imply. the latest proposal for

the political sentiment, all the ukraine crisis have become china's fundamental principles. which include, you know, respecting, legitimate security, concerns of all countries resuming peace, harvest, resolving the humanitarian prices, keeping nuclear power plant safe and the sure instability of global industrial and supply chains. obviously, she maintains bad, you know, china's position paper are ukraine reflects the broadest comma understanding of the international community on this crisis. and the plan has been, i feel like constructive in mitigating the crisis so far. president, she's a visit to moscow, testifies quite clearly to the robust friendship. i'm partnership between the 2 countries where the powers have a long 50000 alliance and try to prevent it. ortiz, steve sweeney explains. chinese president, changing thing as arrived in russia to the alarm of the united states and other

western countries. days before he landed, the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant against president vladimir putin in what some i've seen as a politically motivated move to undermine the deep ties between the 2 nations. but the bond between russia and china was strong. they share close links in the economic, scientific, and military space is the partnership in the bricks alliance. and the shanghai cooperation organisation is deepening. washington has long opposed russia. china relations, which it views as a threat to a u. s. dominated unipolar world. here is a reminder of some of its previous statements around the world. we face rogue regimes, terrors, groups, and rivals like china and russia, that challenge our interests, our economy, and our values. in confronting these horrible dangers. we know that

weakness is the sures past the conflict and unmatched power is the surest means to our true and great defense. you can call them our friends if they're building weapons that can destroy united states of america. and therefore, we have to develop the capability to respond the u. s. which has lawrence at least $251.00 military intervention since 1991, according to its own government sources, stands accused of hypocrisy, both china and russia and this is right out in, in the national security strategy are 2 countries that are shaping against this international rules based order that the united states and so many of our allies and partners have built up since the end of world war 2. it is almost as if iraq, afghanistan, libya, chile, nicaragua, and the countless other u. s. invasions and involvement in coups against democratically elected governments never happened. and does it? washington doesn't have hundreds of military bases surrounding china while flooding

taiwan with arms. well prowess, toughness dance against china and russia when nights who identified beijing as a systemic challenge to euro atlantic security and accuse a pair of undermining global stability. there's just no question that the china and russia are both working to divide the trans atlantic partners. and we are now very aware, we all have a deeper appreciation of those efforts and our intent on addressing them the deepening strategic partnership between the people's republic of china and the russian federation. and they're mutually reinforcing attempts to undercut the rules based international order run counter to our values and interests. returning to the day, washington has ramped up the rhetoric warning of the defense and security links between the 2 countries. with the u. s saying without providing evidence that china was prepared to send alms to russia to use in the conflict and ukraine. you're very concerned that china's considering providing legal support to russians aggression against ukraine. but it is china that has outlined

a 12 point piece plan for ukraine, while the west is undermined and opposed negotiations. beijing was quick to hit back at washington, st. china, russia relations. and now more important than ever. it is the u. s. site, not the chinese site that is supplying a steady stream of weapons to the battlefield. the u. s. site is not qualified to dictate to the chinese site. we also never accept the u. s. dictating we'll even coercing pressure on signer russian relations. the more unstable the world becomes, the more imperative it is for china and russia to steadily advance their relations . while russia has accused washington of pressing the west to adopt a hostile approach to the 2 nations littles to live in order to pursue their course of domination, primarily in the interest of containing russia and china, the americans lacked her own forces, which is why they need what they are doing now, not a partials, but a complete mobilization of the western cavendish,

as our relationship with the people's republic of china, of course, is going through absolutely the best times in the history of this relationship. our leaders say. so you remember how these relations were characterized by our chinese friends in their time that it is not an alliance, but in many ways it is stronger than an alliance. that's life a thing. the 2 countries develop stronger economic ties with trade increasing by maybe 30 percent to a reco, $190000000000.00 in 2022 relations even extend to out to space with beijing a moscow inking a cooperation deal which laws until 2027 as talks between the 2 leaders are expected to see more agreements. it is clear that the more the west tries to drive a wedge between russia and china. the stronger their ties become. for more on there saw it as close live down to senior research fellow at the redman university of china. new g chin. sir,

thank you so much for joining us here today. artie that wants to me, we just had there in my colleague, steve suitable, where some media have criticized or criticize in chinese leaders visits of oscar describing the deepening ties of jean russia and china as the worst worst nightmare . what, what would you make of i think it's interesting question because there's really no risk that she's in the video for russia. it's a very important event at a time. of course, as we know that, that the western media as your, as always, there's trying to pick mars in their growth tires are big chain turn on the russia . so i think the disability so important at this moment because the time is very crucial on certain days caused the western countries in lex, a current crisis. and last year i expected

a difficult time. so just really, there were the kind of close ties between china and russia. are also strange to come on. i ration or it's russia and they're china. so this is a very positive status for the war. now we see that we're benefit the whole war, especially to stabilize the global market and also to build up a new competence in the warranty. especially there was the congress that the high pressure over your information on the highest price. so this way that to china and russia should be working closely as ever, with each other for step hold each other. i'm not to solve all of these things. the national global dispute in real confidence back to me the same ideas on the measures that were, have

a whole lot to be more stabilized and did a very good for this. i mean, he's civil and see, it's about consistency. but what i mean, what sig build of g is visit to russia, send to the rest of the world. i mean, all the film talking about multi polar world, always talk about uniform world. they always talk about the emerging markets when emerging, multi poll old isn't time to drop the word emerging. perhaps. i think that the time for the emerging, the word is quite important. as we know that emerging market are emerging country. it's already very well accepted by the global market, a global public competitor to those that that they will conquer the war that we see that emerging. are you looking country? it's quite

a lot in the space for the market paula warren. so you call them compare that you and the lead to reward that dominated by a state or even by few western countries. this is not fair for the rest of the war. as we know that there the think know that you can think of it. russia? yes, a very positive. i think 3.3 war back, please read it. that is that to make a piece to have close corporation and all of the we're trying to print the ship between china and of course the peaceful development also cooperation in long field and also for the ship. all kinds of field jobs are not the only metric of can and russia is a met dumped a whole word. so i think that the signal for the rest of the world should be very, very positive. and that's been official for the rest of the war. and all the other

countries should learn how to solve this issue among nations and the concrete, how to have close car brochure in the sun. you cannot make a tie you older to safeguards. you krista, of the people and moment that every night. very insightful and very sorry indeed. so thank you so much for joining us here today at pleasure. tell him to you. we'll see you soon and thanks again for your time. the monitors good is now protests against pension reform in france from monday was caused by heavy, heavy police. the incident in the national capital vote concerns about police

brutality. ah, the brutality of french pennies towards the demonstrators has not gone unnoticed that the iranian for mazda, as folks it out about the clashes, it said that such an approach to protest is, violates the principles of democracy. 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 advice to enjoy behavior and instrumental use of human rights stop resorting to violence in dealing with protesters for 5 consecutive days. french protests as have been marching against prison macklin effort to raise the pension age last week. the reform was adopted by a special condition of situational power, enabled it to bypass a parliamentary vote where there has been

a little criticism among fellow european countries about the matter that a, this thumb contrast of what happened with iran when they were widespread. anger over is handling of nationwide protest there. the french president was at that time world of his vocal city. 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. but he'll comment either john brick mall says the west's approach of criticizing what happens elsewhere while staying quiet about developments at home smacks of epoxy. i think the main lessons from this is that each county should take care of his own internal affair and not in play 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 hands are unwilling to believe that it's a harsher than in france, but the hand is super subjected to a series of sanctions. evans scenes revolution or 79. that's the book is immune is always. i mean the west is of good, all is been saved on the voted so kindly event his knee scope presented. it can be blame on the herschel the chinese uranium based on cetera. then it's good for women . if it's blame on the wisdom government, and simply know, they think the dental vision in france are both in the united states are hardly hardly hopeful from united states. as well as i know. while the french retirement age is rising, more and more money is being sunk into ukraine. either fans and pharmacists have agreed to a 2000000000 euro ammunition plan for supplying the ukraine in military and reinforcing lu blogs,

military industrial complex. today by to well again discuss the situation in ukraine and the support to be given to it. in particular, on the basis of the high representatives proposal concerning the use of the european piece facility from munition in order to accelerate the transfer of ammunition to ukraine. this will allow group purchases and therefore faster deliveries at better prices. and finally, with the objective of strength thing, european production capacities, this is a concrete way to help ukraine. the funding is to be conducted in 2 stages. first, the e u set. so transfer 1000000000 years for ammunition, that can be quickly delivered. the 2nd stage is for the same amount of funding to be spent on a massive joy. cuban push foot native caliber, $155.00 millimeter artillery shells. thus, with this assistance to ukraine, the use also strengthening is defense industry was live to also add political alice nicholas miracle,

which thanks so much for joining us here at our the not a you mrs. have approved a 2000000000 the euro prior for supply. i've been ammunition to keep. meanwhile, we know inflation in the sky rocketed last year protests against raising the retirement age. a raging and france. does it kind of feel like the use? so paying more attention to ukraine than its own affairs? it is, so we discovered that there is money, there is money, but unfortunately it's not used for the europeans. europeans are going through a very tight economic situation. now. inflation has skyrocketed. we've got unemployment, we've got many social problems and people all across europe are asking for more money for education for hospitals, for, for justice. 1 for the re to, for their retirement plans under the european union, brussels keep on saying for money, but all of a sudden for ukraine,

they found 2000000000 and this is 2000000000 that has to be added to already at the millions of years, which have already been spent by the european union and the u. s. for the war and ukraine. so the money's there. it's just that this has become the priority of the european union. the elites in brussels are totally disconnected from the rest of the population, which doesn't want this war, and which is, is it? as i said, going through a very difficult situations we've got, crisis is we've got massive demonstrations in france now. concerning the, or the retirement france, france and also so many other subjects. and it's sad and it's frightening, actually to see that the european union is mustering all this money, analysis energy a for war. can you imagine if i've not even half, maybe 110th of 1100 of that money had been spent in 2014, when there was a civil war in ukraine to try to broker piece your opinion and never looked for peace. it has been looking for war and now it's a, it's, it's getting 2000000000 euros worth of ammunition to ukraine. and this is going to cause a lot of debt, lot of casualties,

and definitely it will have consequences for the rest of europe and data. and you know, this, that doesn't seem to be an end to the new york new class of told the you that it wants $350000.00 shells a month is a leal, has the resources to me and the ukraine is needs. i am for how long? no, it doesn't happen with the curren with her production of ammunition. the your opinion does not have either the capacity to reply to the to ukraine. and why should the european union reply to chris what, what treaty have we signed with ukraine? what do you have? we got signed with ukraine, whereby i european nation which has gone through a civil war which has created its own mess. if i may say all of a sudden ask us to pay for it, i'm not saying that we should just let the world go on and close our eyes. we definitely have to try to get involved. but try to broker, please try to find peace. ukraine and russia will always at the and remain in europe, and it's in the interest of all the european nations to have peace in europe,

especially today where we see so many peace treaties or, or saudis and iranians getting back together. egyptians and assyrian syrians entered people are all good looking for peace around the world. and the europeans are going to war because the european union wants this war. it does not have the capacity. it wants a war economy, it has said so, and it is closing its size on the real other problems the europeans are facing today. and this shows that the people in brussels just don't know what's going on. and they, i think they did this fantasy on war is something that is driving the european union to or to a war. we may say a wrote by the lender s, i mean, this money, the folks at the well hope that the production of shells, let's say full ukraine, but it will also strengthen the blogs defense industry. does it? is that something that needs to be done as well does now, is it a priority?

who is going to attack the european union? why should we put out? i mean we, we've got, if you go to a hospital today in europe and in western europe, and most of the countries go through the education system. we've got illiteracy, which is route, which is a reaching record ever in western europe. we don't have money for the schools, we don't have money for medicine. we don't have been looking at our roads in the infrastructure, it's falling apart. that's where we need investment. we need investments also in modernization and we don't need investments in war. i mean, if we put all this money in war at one moment or another, we're going to be entering a war. and this is probably what we're doing already. right now. this is not a priority. it's a priority by the, for the neoconservatives, which have infiltrated totally, maybe some of them are actually at the origin of the opinion which are all across the political spectrum. and who only see this war with ukraine as a means of making their masters in washington who want this war. the europeans have no interest whatsoever in going to war. we don't want to fight for climate tours.

we don't want to fight. forget we want peace in europe, but definitely we don't want to go to war. we want diplomacy. and if there's money to be spent, it has to be spent for the priorities of the europeans. and this is whatever, in whatever country, as again, these main issues which are are, which are health, which are education, which are better in our education. got not going to war, going, building up a war economy is going to need us to war. and definitely we are not ready for that . i don't think europeans, most europeans are aware of the path we're on today, which is a very dangerous path. if we build the war economy. if we send so many so much ammunition, a military experts as well in ukraine, we will get sucked up into this war. and we will end up fighting at a time where a lot of countries in the world are going for peace. we're going to war, we haven't understand and understood anything. in the current world scenario, i need nicola markovich also number level as thank so much for joining us here

today. assay pleasure to lindsey. thanks again for your time. thank you. ah, a prominent us lawyer says the only way for international sanctions against russia to be lifted is present button to turn himself into us now, thirty's, in the hague. last, according to steven rappe, who previously served as the us ambassador at large for war crime issues. this makes put in a pariah. if he travels, he risks arrest. this never goes away. russia cannot gain really from sanctions without compliance with the warrants. his comment came shortly after the international criminal court issued a warrant. surest other members in the court has accused puts in abducting children from wars zones in the train conflict. russia has maintained it. evacuate civilians if they are in danger. amid intense fighting, rushes economy has suffered to

a lesser degree from the western sanctions than many hours is expected when they were initially imposed in 2014. russia has been restructuring, reconstructing its domestic production and focusing on exports to non western countries that have refused to comply with the restrictions the jack, harass, must professor of economics and politics at st. mary's college of california says the international criminal court smooth is a desperate bid to further isolate the russian economy. so its sanctions, policy has not been effected effective, it rushes economy has not really been impacted seriously. it's, it's a currency, it's not collapse. it's still selling oil and revenue and other other industrial commodities. unemployment rate is probably better than some places in europe,

inflation rates, not that great, great. and you know, the growth rate. well it slipped a little bit. not much, but that's true throughout the world. many economy services have not had the effect on russia. and you might, might interpret these, these moves, you know, with the i c, c and the price caps is kind of a desperate moves they want regime change. they man us need only thing. they can get it by getting rid of it and putting out i wanted to price on his head so to speak. you know, i thought i would say african out a mysterious illness in the east african nation of tons and air has a faith is 7 people, 5 of whom have died. the illness exhibits a bowden like symptoms raising, concerned that he could actually be re emergence of the extremely fatal virus. that
