an amazing mix of cultures and peoples, but what makes this place so appealing? we're going to speak to some of the most prominent locals of all phone can uncover some of the secrets. a message across the global financial system continues is the largest gym and bank loses 20 percent of its value in less than a month. that's up to several us banks crash resulting in bailouts reminiscent the 2008 with divided administration bill. the don't seem pipelines to gain control over western europe, especially germany, left according to investigative journalist, seymour hersh pipeline that shows control full of gas and winter's coming. he was going to open up the pipeline and make it do its job exchange for he was gonna make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him

that option. yes, vice president. pamela harris is set to visit africa on sunday. and it concerns in washington over the growing russian and chinese president on the continent with weekends getting on the way in moscow moneys. peter scott and welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis on the risk of global banking crisis looms of an era as deutscher bank, germany is biggest lender last 20 percent of its value since march registering a drop in stock of 9 percent as a recent trading closed, but the rumblings in the market started up to 3 major american bank. so for the crush, similar to that of 20008, the u. s. government was quick to intervene, bending out the banks and handing out significant sums of money to the financial state. but that didn't stop the chain reaction already felt in europe where most major banks are losing stocks and where credit suisse one assistance major lenders

has been bought by a competitor for the financial system going through turbulence. the u. s. president didn't seem to be faced. i think they've done a pretty damn good job people. so savings are secure and even those beyond the $250000.00 or 50, i see is guarantee them an american taxpayer is not gonna have to pay a penny. the banks are in pretty good shape, i think is going to take a little while for things to just calm down, but i don't see anything it's on the horizon is about to explode. was gemini, jones lo love. souls also says there is nothing to be concerned about. our correspondence shabbos investigates. a senior politicians and economists tried to reassure increasingly nervous financial markets, global anxieties over recent bank failures rumble on the merger of 2 big swiss banks, u. b. s. and credit suisse has created a financial bet him off, valued at over $1.00 trillion dollars in

a deal which threatens the squeaky clean image of the swiss banking sector device. i certainly could. it did selfish of the extensive liquidity assistance provided the time needed to find a solution to safeguard financial stability. this solution had to be worked out under considerable time pressure in order to be ready before the asian markets opened the streets aside, and solvents of credit suisse would have had severe consequences for national international financial stability. and for this was economy taken, this risk would have been irresponsible. this new super bank, born out of a hastily arranged merger, now has a value that completely to war. the highly developed a $100000000000.00 swiss economy and has raised concerns about granting such immense power to a single financial institution lawyer. but i'm like, so mommy, there won't be an impact on me, but order ways. it's really too bad that a bank with 170 years of history is going to vanish just like that. it hurts me as

a customer. we will use osama would prejudice if i feel a lot of fertility in light of the current situation on this with financial system now will only have a single big bank u b. s. and that is not good. it's good to have competition and we won't have that em warn you off some merger between her, her credit suisse and a u. b. s. a is a kinder off her hug. and marriage between 2 lame dogs, of course, ah, to situation with her except the street. i was going badly. but can you be s, as now a longstanding is 3. 0, off bad records are in banking. and um, i don't believe that it's east kind of marriage a clue. so, in the long term, that crises for ordinary workers and communities,

it essentially means that regardless of what your economy actually produces, be the cars, energy medicines are high tech services and all accounts for nothing. if a major bank fails, leaving ordinary citizens to face the catastrophic consequences of that failure, this leaves us to ask ourselves what the actual value of these vast financial institutions is to the societies they've so badly failed. while these institutions provide some payment and transaction services to their wealthy depositors and borrowers, the rest is essentially investment banking, which focuses exclusively on making money for guess who. that's right, the investment bank and it's shareholders whose disproportionate influence on the world's economy simply doesn't correspond with the services they provide. and if and when these giants, who are seemingly too big to fail, need bailing out, is the ordinary taxpayer that usually left to pick up the pieces just like they did in 2008 civilian fact that we had now these kind of huge monopoly. we have to

remember that both the u. b. s and decreased before the magic words are mos too important. streets banks as a citizen, we at now is a kind of concentration, but not the concentration of good banks. the concentration of bad bags and heath this kind of situation is not good quickly at dress, giggle, ricky fixed by authority. b, z government b, z us sent a central bank. then we will go on for a long number off, recurrent fries, each. the widespread use of corporation tax to avoid far higher income tax rates now is reserved for audrey workers. it's also now widely exploited by institutional

investors and their backers. this feeds into the bazaar reality that a global banking sector that should exist to serve economic activity has now grown to, to war. those very economies, they are supposed to support as ordinary taxpayers faced the very real possibility of yet again picking up the tab for these huge profit mills. it's time to ask ourselves, who's working for who and whether there's a better way to protect their societies from the devastating consequences they face when the bankers under backers just keep getting it wrong. while enjoying a complete lack of accountability. de mark has found an unknown objects near where the node stream pipeline was damage after a massive blast last september, and it will invite the russian controlled operates of the pipeline to recover it for analysis. this comes as investigative jealousy maya explained what he believes stands behind the recent us prob, blaming a pro ukrainian group for the attack. and of course, a full version of his interview on direct impact start the day here. nazi,

there is a quick teaser why the united states seems to have and i use this word and you tell me if it's over use dot in this case, invented or planned to this most recent story? why are they doing this? because they, the, the united states knows who did it. they know the president did it. you can the another way of asking this question that no reporter is asking to press conference, the, the let we blow the pipeline and pipe and biden's. okay. i can tell you one thing about the ca when it wants to do something down and dirty. they know how to keep it . they know how to keep it small. you know what i'm saying? yeah. the people who know very small and the president wasn't really getting brief . the director was the final point. yeah. the guys in the field and the less that the white house knows the better because it's a talkative whitehouse. difficulty of the emission and it was, by the way, what, what the intelligence community did. there was quite spectacular,

even though that they, they didn't like the end. but they were given assignment, come up with an option. if you want to blow up the pipeline, you have to do it in such a way that we can't be blamed. right? the war is by september when, when biden said, let's do it and gave the order. the war was certainly sold out. and we've put now $125120000000000.00 into that war. and western europe was being asked to give more and more. and the concern was, they could see in western europe. and in germany, what we want being told too much at this war was going nowhere so, so they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing, there happened everybody was no, we weren't exactly right about that. so the idea was the weight, but why he picked 3 months and 3 and a half months. the wait was the question, i wonder why did he suddenly do it in late september? because the get back to the point, the war wasn't going well as he was afraid that europe was going to begin to walk

away, particularly the germans, germans, after world war 2 are not interested in a big military, but winter is coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make us do his job as chancellor even and make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. western europe doesn't have gas and oil. we've always had western europe back. ah, yes, president joe biden is in the middle of a long way to visit to neighboring canada. that's why he jumped the chance to take a job, but the perceived threats posed by both countries by china, canada, in the united states, acknowledge the serious, long term challenge to the international order posed by the people's republic of china, including disruptive actions such as economic coersion non market policies and practices and human rights abuses of the locals and also happy to host joe biden as

a group of protesters to the streets, calling on candidates to leave. nato pitch sizing, what they call imperialist u. s. foreign policy. we spoke to canadian journalist, an activist is anglo who said that also is ready to sacrifice the economic interest . the sake of supporting us. china is the most populous nation on earth and of the country that has done well economically over the past couple decades is increasingly challenging us power in, in, in asia. and the u. s. has been the single dominant power and recent decades and wants to continue that and it sees china's economic rise and growing diplomatic and, and other influence as a threat to its domination. unfortunately, the creating government is joining this increasingly belligerent policy that has us

setting a basis in, or bases in the philippines. more forces in japan, south korea, to basically try to taiwan, to try to contain china. and i don't, i think it's actually quite contrary to the interests of even canadian, much of canadian business. but the intelligence apparatus advocated military and their arms producers very much see containing china as serving the u. s. empires interests the us presents also touched on alliance building, pointing out the extension of nato. and the g 7 spheres of influence significantly extended our alliances. i haven't seen that happen with china and, or russian, or anybody else in the world. we're in a situation united states were nato, a stronger role together, the g 7 a quad,

the asi on japan, a career. i have a my staff point out to me. i have now met with 80 percent of the world leaders just as a president were the ones expanding your licenses, opposition? not name for me, were that cohen was by biden's comments on the growth of a western lead. a line state shows that briggs countries represents over 3000000000 people, compared to around 8000000 in the g. 7 lines encompasses developing economies such as russia, china, india, brazil, on south africa, with their economic growth reaching more than 6 percent of live. now to know some long vice chairman of the shanghai center and a vall dyke club, experts, nelson vega, talk on the program again. i just wanna stop by you. and to what extent do you believe jo biden's visit to canada was intended to send a message to russia and china, especially given the recent meeting between that 2 leaders?

well, i think i'm all the criticisms. i'm china's guns, something of its relations with russia or i can see is a complex of confusion, misunderstanding desperation and a fear. this has clearly show who is on the wrong side of history by now, because china has reassured that its relation was russia is purely bilateral and it's not against any other part. so by looking at what president biden has said, he's actually against him. so why saying that he is rallying up, that us is rallying up so many countries against the other side who is the other side. so what i would, you know, keep stressing is that a better tomorrow is not going to be achieved by any country trying to divide the world into 2 competing couples. and in particular,

calling this competition between democracies and o'clock percentage where they say that sorry, they did continue to apologize. well, i was just gonna just say not see about this. the 2 sides that you mentioned or with the biden does see china, the other side and study posed a long term challenge to international order. but i did call on today trudeau to abuse, to know rod spending. it's the early warning radar system for, for, for threats in the sky. what are your thoughts on his claims the china poses a long term challenge to international order? and indeed, i guess, by extension to, to kind of do an america. well, let's put it this way, china's arise, china's rise has been peaceful and doesn't pose any threat to anyone. it is actually the us that is having this fear of losing its control over the

world old. but let's face the reality. or are they being choose for to the rest of the world? has china's rise being achieved by bullying others or by colonization? no, it's being the wealth of china has been accumulated so decades of hard work of people and the endless. what and then china, you know, promote peaceful development and doesn't practice trade protection isn't what the u. s. as has been trying to do is exactly the opposite. they are doing trade protectionism right now, and this is, i think what the rest of the world would have to wake up to realize this is wrong. actually, we're in the 21st century. why should we get rid of globalization and stop protection protectionism?

again, this is something that we all have to wake up to face. do you think the u. s. approach to, to, to politics and relations internationally is saying that it's waning somewhat. obviously we've seen trying to think about what active role or c with the u. k. the ukraine police peace plan, and most recently, of course, saudi arabia and iran with historic deal broke it between the do you think you're still in georgia, say, months of influence on the world platform as it once did, always trying to play the more active role these days. well, apparently the us is not happy with the increasing role of china in world politics, but the fact is fact. and i think people are not being paid and slowly and surely people around the world are wake enough to realize. and to recognize that china is coming onto the web stage or the different power that promotes piece. we're development mutual respect,

a level playing field and treats every country as equal. so this is something that i think the us will have to mit or nelson. wong, vice chairman of the shanghai center about the club. the expert pleasure is always to have you on the program. thanks very much for your for this today. thank you. not talking about us infants internationally. the us vice president come a la harris is starting a week long trip to africa this weekend and she's due to meet with the leaders of gone a sons in the and number. now, as the 2nd high level visit to the constance by us officially recent months, and it comes as washington seeks to rival the rising influence of russia and china on the continent. as all the trouble of explains s will be carmella harris's 1st visit to the african continent. but no one seems certain what the objectives behind this visit is. as use intimated, she will be in ghana, tanzania,

as well as zambia. but one thing is for sure we know about the. busy uses at least tentative position with regards to it's a former influence on the continent following a void of some 2 decades in which is a c in china moving in and the growing influence of for russia. and this seems to be very much a guiding of as vivid as the u. s. actively tries to wage a gap between it's between africa as well as russia and china. and this seems to be a part of the motif if you will, that is. busy informing this visit, the troops strengthened the united states partnerships without african and advance all share efforts and security in economic prosperity. through all the trip in partnership with african governments and private sector, the vice president will advance efforts to expand access to the digital economy, support climate adaptation and resilience and strengthen business ties. investment

include in through innovation entrepreneurship and the economic empowerment of women. there is no doubt that the u. s. is looking squarely added the geopolitical adversaries if you will, as it looks into the growing influence of china and that of russia on the continent . and it is trying very hard to make sure that it comes out on top is already identified a china as, as a villain, blaming behind african debt problem. seeing that if it wasn't for china handing out money and, and seriously, and entering numerous african countries and dragging its feet when it comes to re negotiating. the said that after golden, i'd be where it is. and we heard when germans jaelyn the us treasury secretary, when she came around to the of this year, she penned the current food crisis on,

on russia, following the conflict. ready ukraine and a journalist arthur, specifically, if the u. s. is in a tug of war for the continent in order to win the influence here on african grounds, fine for influence, just isn't the focus of my visit at all. i know it's a completely natural question. it is not at all what i am focused on. our interest is in partnering with africa. this is not a competition with china. and it seems that africa will be a stage for many more months to come. if not years, that the superpowers will be locked in some sort of diplomatic war here as it tries to win favor and friends. but the u. s. has a lot of catching up to do, and they may be joining in this fight already. a beck, a former nigerian presidential aspirins adama gobber says that washington isn't

looking for any sorts of mutually beneficial cooperation with african people is all about destruction, our resources. i'm, as you look at even the going to the choose in east south and western africa. muslim this countries are the quantities where the and to was sentiment is very, very high, doesn't. anya will look the way just to do without chinese dept and if you call back to do gonna most of their so fighting on the challenges they're facing regarding the inflationary guardianship. chrysler by the fuel prices and rising cost of living is currently blame on the i am in depth, which is also of course for him to buy to you as if you go back to them the near the same problem. so i don't know what she's coming to get because to the best of my knowledge, africa has moved for. but beyond what did you are to thinking? i think i used to be and african you. why be a friends? china has been very disappointed in terms of building infrastructure i given didn't necessarily when, when diplomatic approach it had been, if you, what africa and china. and if you look at what happened from russia. recently,

running reporting to prison of russia clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of dep live law for countries. this is something that africans, actually britain. so i don't know what to do as a trying to come and do what did a bit of my knowledge. i don't think visual as big any big, strong, positive outcome, but i'm not making it just purely one sided and didn't buy their own self interest even i didn't that of africa. so that is not but much you've done. is it one sided relationship? it relationship, but only way to benefit them is when they're, what, when, when it doesn't benefit them, didn't go. we did adrien presidents, mohammed bihari has urged his people to share their food with those in need had of ramadan. as the country suffers from skyrocketing prices, with the leader went on to condemn, unscrupulous sellers have artificially inflated prices to make profits during the islamic sacred month. i am particularly aware of the activities of treatise her to officially increase the prices of their goods include in food at the beginning of

every rama, done. according to the latest year report, nigeria is in the midst of a major food crisis with more than 4000000 people in need of nutritional assistance as a lack of funding and gasoline as well as growing instability, has led to over $8000000.00 people in need of humanitarian aid is estimated that more than a $1000000000.00 is needed to help the nation of 18 percent from last year. while another major issue facing nigeria is that the terrorism from the boca her medicine group activity several parts of the country since it emerged in 2009 the groups activities have claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions of people, mostly in the countries. north france has been a long term ally in combating the threat doctor years of supporting the multinational joint task force. apparently has little to show for it's nearly later presidents. more mohammed hari has touched to open a new counter terrorism center to boost the fights against insecurity in the region . we spoke to political analyst and human rights activists are michelle, who,

who says that nigeria is new president and vice president, joint actions could potentially bring positive results for the find some tara my team depicts, there it is. and in the program is usually a home grown problem. what i need is now sophisticated kaufman support in terms of capacity to the military plus and then on also the technology to be able to pay these data. is betty rice, as a result of the election that really happened, the president elect tunable and also his vice presidential team out there must have these knowledge. i did the bug out. i did the context of what this problem is. so if they can be able to put their houses in order and bring the best brand, walk together, what ensuring that they can be able to holistically that is the problem i think would be and off to me on a, i can say yes they can be able to 100 that thing when you have these 2 people

combine their own airport and then expedius in handling such a tank. i think julia can be able to handle these political crisis. russia and us have clashed verbally, the latest un security council meeting where moscow use the world's chemical weapons. what stock? failing to objectively investigate the various allegations of chemical weapons use . we have seen how in the recent years, almost any mention of the p. c. w has been politicized in an anti russian and anti syria and fashion. the traditional resolution of the un general assembly on the implementation of the chemical weapons convention has acquired a distinctly propagandist character or us political councilor. john kelly also talked to the floor, the un excuse moscow of waging a disinformation campaign over chemical weapons. the american official also of the in the syrian government for targeting its own civilians. they are p. c, w indicates a damascus in the killing of 43 people in a chemical incident in the city of do my 2018 syria called

a rebel attack executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity johnny mcadams. so the u. s. is the one spreading this information, the 17th of march, both of us to follow the duma, a parent or suppose that chemical attacks know that the final report was riddled with errors. it was plenty wrong with it. the very, very seasoned investigators were concerned about the final product that were whistleblower saying the investigation does wasn't done right. all of these things led to a very, very tainted report. you know, there have been great investigative journals like aramark pe that have looked at it . so there are a huge questions, but for political reasons, the u. s. and the u. k. having already bombed syria because of the so called attack, they needed to have a report that came to the conclusions that they wanted. and that's why they exhorted all the pressure they did on the o. p. c, w, and really compromise the integrity of the organization. well,

i read the statement of john kelly, i'm not sure who he is. he's probably just a regular state department bureaucrat, diplomat. it really seemed like an exercise in projection basically everything that he was accusing the russians of doing with regard to the o. p. c. dummy was very blatantly done by the us and the partners. i think the statement was pretty low level look like something written out of hillary clinton's office using the russians of deception. just information, you know, the same, the basically the same things that they've always been doing. well, that's are up for now. money's pizza, scott. so i'll be back again in around 30 minutes time with another rundown of all today's top stories. thanks very much for watching. ah ah,

ah, operation aerodynamic began shortly after well, war 2 and lost it almost 3 decades. it wasn't a major effort to try and split the ukraine off from the soviet union, u. s. intelligence. together with hypnos, executioners, drain, hundreds of saboteurs to be deployed in the soviet union. risk focused on the east of monday. so we'll have started with lynn jones to enjoy the service unions more than the us today. security service of ukraine uses not only the statistic methods, but also the ideology of the nationalist a

sanchez, i've been doing news for 30 years in 2 languages around the world. and here in the united states, i've interviewed for president, founded a $1000000000.00 business. i believe new should be honest, direct and impactful. this is direct impact. ah, we sent this newscast with a name, seymour hersh. the reporter who wrote the very detailed story of how the caea, under the direction of the, by the administration blew up the nord stream pipelines. he has a new article out. it's called the cover up. and tonight he's going to join us to talk about his latest reporting. by the way, this new article by seymour hersh, which you can read for your cell.
