and started its age of humiliation and the sale of opium took on colossal proportions and led to the horrible deaths of millions of ordinary chinese. a rest across the global financial system continues the largest german bank loses 20 percent of its value in less than a month after several years buying, crushed, resulting in bailouts. reminiscence of 2008. the biden administration blew that all the plans to gain control over western europe. well, at least that's the claim. according to investigative journalist, seymour hersh pipeline that shows control full of gas and windows. coming out, he was going to open up the pipeline and make his do his job. it's transfer even gonna make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him

that option. on us vice president of horace is said to visit africa on sunday me concerned in washington over the growing russian and chinese president on the customer with more minutes past 4 pm on the saturday in moscow. and peter scott will be joining us from welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis arthur. the risk of global banking crisis looms ever nearer, as deutscher bank germany is biggest lender lost 20 percent of its value since march. registering a drop in stock of 9 percent as recent trading closed. well, the rumblings in the market started after 3 major american bank suffered a crush similar to that of 2008. u. s. government was quite intervene. been at the banks on honeywell significant sum of money to the financial sector, but that didn't stop the chain reaction already felt in europe where most major banks are losing stock. on my credit suisse. one of switzerland's major lenders has

been bought by a competitor with a financial system going through turbulence. the u. s. president didn't seem phased by the trend book. i think we've done a pretty damn good job people. so savings are secure. and even those beyond the $250000.00 of f t i see is guarantee that the 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. as jim says, lola sold also says there's nothing to be concerned about. our correspondence che bose investigate. 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 behemoth valued at over $1.00 trillion dollars in

a deal which threatens the squeaky clean image of the swiss banking sector. divide that i sent the liquidity. it's inefficient. 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 open this week to sign and in 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 what a waste is 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 our son. but if, if i feel a lot of fragility 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 anymore off some merger between her, her credit suisse and a u. b. s or a. is it kind of off a hug? good marriage between 2 lame decks, of course, ah, to situation with sir eric decrease was going badly. but u b s, as now, a longstanding is trade off bad records in banking. and i don't believe that he's kind of marriage cool souls in the long term,

the crises for ordinary workers and communities. it essentially means that regardless of what your economy actually produces, be the cars, energy, medicine or high tech services. it all counts for nothing. if a major bank fails, leaving ordinary citizens to face the catastrophic consequences of failure. this leaves us to ask ourselves what the actual value of these vast financial institutions is to the societies they've so by the 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 us to. that's right. the investment bank and it's shareholders who's 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 bailey asked, is the ordinary taxpayer that's usually left to pick up the pieces just like they

did in 2008, 0 really fact that we have now these kind of huge monopoly we have to remember that both the u. b. s. and the previous week before the merger, we're mos 2 important sweets banks. as a situation we ask now, is a kind of concentration, but not a consultant ration also good banks, but concentration off bad bags and eaves, this kind of situation is not gives brickley address. give ricky fixed by authorities, be a government will be a set of central banks. then we will go on, swore a long number off, recurrent fries each. the widespread use of corporation tax to avoid far higher income tax rates, now is reserved for ordinary 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. the mark has found an unknown objects near where the nazi pipeline was damaged or to a massive blast last september, and it will invite the russian controlled operator. the pipeline to recovery for analysis is comes as investigative journalist seymour hersh explained what he believes stands behind the recent u. s. pro, blaming pro ukrainian group for the a tight. we can watch full version of his view on direct impacts throughout the day

here. nazi for, for now, here's a quick preview 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 in the united states, those who did it, they know the president did it. you can to another way of asking this question that no reporter is asking a press conference in the the that we blow up, the paypal i'm and pipe and biden's. okay. i could tell you one thing about the cia when it wants to do something down and dirty. they know how to keep it. they know how to keep it small. that you know what i'm saying. yeah. the people who know very small and the president wasn't really getting briefed, the director was the funnel point that the guys in the field. and the less that the white house knows the better because it's a talkative white house. the 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 pipelines, you have to do it in such a way that we can't be blamed. right? and that 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 a $121520000000000.00 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, so they were concerned if it blew up right after our ships or our military exercises that we were doing there happen. everybody would know we were involved. right. exactly right. about that they so the idea was the weight. but why he picked 3 months and 3 and a half months to wait was the question, i wonder, why did he suddenly do in late september? because to get back to the point the war wasn't going well,

is 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's coming up for europe. and yeah, the was, he was going to open up the pipeline and make his do his job as chancellor. he was and make the people warm make the businesses happy. and so we didn't give him that option. western europe, as it had re, gas and oil. we've always had western europe's back. ah, we know the news us present. joe biden is in the middle of a long way to visit to neighboring canada, where he jumped the chance to take a job. the perceived threat posed by both to both countries by china, canada and 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. not all local people and also are happy to host joe biden as a group of protest. this took to the streets, calling on kind of to leave nato while criticizing what they call imperialist us. foreign policy, we spoke to canadian journalist not to waste even angler who said delta, what is ready to sacrifice his economic interests for the us. china is the most populous nation on earth and as a country that has done well economically over the past couple of 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 other influence as a threat to extermination. unfortunately, the catering government is joining this increasingly belligerent policy that has us

setting up 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 the, even canadian, much of canadian business. but the intelligence apparatus and the military and the army producers very much see containing china as, as serving the, the u. s. empires interests of the us presence also touched on alliance building, pointing to the extension of the nato and g. 7 phase of influence significantly extended our alliances. i haven't seen that happen with china and russia or anybody else in the world. we're in a situation united states for nato is stronger for all together. the g 7 acquired

the asi and japan and korea. i ever my step point out to me, i have now met with 80 percent of the world leaders. just as a president, were the ones expand the eliasis opposition is not name for me. were that co it? what if i bought in comments on the growth of a western lead a lion status suggest that briggs countries represent over 3000000000 people compared to around 8000000 in the g. 7 lines encompasses developing economists including russia, china, india, brazil, and south africa with their economic growth reaching more than 6 percent. we spoke with former secretary of the indian for ministry, rajiv decree, who says that india is not part of the alliance with america. india is not a bond or for any alliance. i don't know why president barden mentioned india because india has always been firmly opposed to alliances. we were

a leader of the non line will learn. that was a reflection of our strategic economy and today on. so we are a big bach now. the united states, we have close relations with united states in many fields, but we are not an ally to india. trade relations with russia have greatly improved in the last year. we are buying more energy, oil and gas and other materials from russia. india is never favored sanctions outside the united nations. we don't think that countries should unilaterally impose sanctions and then insist that the other countries around the world should follow them. that's a matter of principle as far as india is concerned. yes, vice president comalla harris starts a week long trip to africa on sunday. otherwise, how sensitive is its aims to strengthen? business dies and exploits, expand joint ventures with the continent. the triple strengthened the united states

partnerships, resolved african, and advance all share efforts and security and economic cris parity through all the trip in partnership with african governments and the private sector. the vice president will advance efforts to expand access to the digital economy. simple climate adaptation and resilience and strength from business ties. investment include in through innovation entrepreneurship and the economic empowerment of women. the vice president is set to meet with the leaders of gonna tanzania and zambia with some media poll, suggesting harris with a just chinese engagement in debt restructuring, as well as other economic issues. during her toll, the vice president visit follows a slew of all this by top us officials with secretary of state unseen, lincoln and treasury secretary janet yellen. also having visited africa since the start of the year. so speculates that the trips come as washington seeks to rival the rising influence of moscow in the continent. as in john vs form,

an assistant gala grove carried out his own extensive talk of african nations. from an jerry and presidential aspirins demagogue says, the earth is not looking for any sort of mutually beneficial corporation with africans is all about is tucked in our associates and am, if you look at even the country to choose in, east, south and western africa, most of these countries are the countries where the and to west sentiment is very, very high, tanzania with new age is to do with our chinese debt. and if you call back to, to gonna most of their sufferings on the challenges their prisoner regarding the inflationary guardianship, chrysler by the fuel crises and rising cost of living is clearly blamed on the m, a dept which is also of course fronted by the u. s. if you go back to turns on, you know, the same problem. so i don't know what she's coming to get because to the method by knowing that africa has moved forward. but beyond, what did you have to think in africa used to be on the africa knew why the friends, china has been very supportive in terms of building infrastructure i given didn't

necessarily when, when diplomatic approach that been, if you, what africa and china and if you look at what happened from russia. recently, blending reporting to prison of russia clearly stated about $20000000000.00 of deadly live law for countries. this is from do not africans i celebrated. so i don't know what to you as a time to come and do what did a bit of my knowledge, i don't think visual as big any big, strong positive outcome from dot net in just purely one sided and driven by their own self interest. even ideals out of africa. so that is not that much you've done . is it one sided relationship? it relationship, but only way it benefits them is when they what, when, when it doesn't benefit them, didn't go rigid nigerian presidents, mohammed, bihari hazards a citizen to share their food with those in need had of ramadan as, as the country suffers from sky rocketing prices. the leader went on to condemn unscrupulous sellers who have artificially inflated prices to make a profit during the 2nd month. i am particularly aware of the activities of

treatise, hurt, officially increase the prices of their goods, including food. at the beginning of every rama, done. according to the latest report, nigeria is in the midst of a major food crisis, with more than 4000000 people in need of nutritional assistance or the lack of funding and gasoline as well as growing instability, has led to over $8000000.00 people in need of humanitarian aid so estimated that more than a $1000000.00 is needed to help the nation of 18 percent from last year. one of the major issue facing niger is that of terrorism from the boca her millison group since it emerged in 2009, the groups activities have trained thousands of lives and displaced millions of people mostly in the country, is north front, has been a long time elaine combating the threat that the years of supporting the multinational joint task force part apparently has to show for its newly elected president. mohammed's bahati has pledged to open accounts with terrorism, said to boost security in the region. but we spoke to political analyst and human

rights activists, ahmed shah, who says it could boost the fight against terror. i think the peculiarity does and in the program is usually a home grown problem. what julia need the smile sophisticated kaufman support in terms of capacity to the military plus and then on also the technology to be able to pay these. and then did a betty on the rice as a result of the election that really happened. the president elect, tunable and also his vice presidential team out there must have this knowledge in the background. i did the context of what the problem is. so if they can be able to put their houses in order and bring the big brand, walk together, what ensuring that they can be able to holistically that is the problem, i think would be in off to me on a, i can say yes, they can be able to handle that thing when you have these 2 people combine their own airport and then expedius in handling such

a team. i think julia can be able to handle these political crisis. russia on the u. s. have verbally clashed at the latest un security council meeting, where moscow accused the world's chemical weapons. what stock? failing to objectively investigate the various allegations of chemical weapons use . we have seen how in recent years, almost any mention of the o, p. c. w has been politicized in an ante, russian and anti sirian fashion. the traditional resolution of the un general assembly on the implementation of the chemical weapons convention has acquired a distinctly propagandist character. me as political councilor, john kelly, also talked to the floor. the un for keith, moscow of waging a disinformation campaign of a chemical weapons. the official also playing the syrian government for targeting its own civilians. your p. c. w indicates a damascus in the killing of 43 people. in a chemical incident in the city of duma in 2018, which syria called a rebel attack executive director of the wrong poll institute for peace and

prosperity. daniel mcadams says the u. s. is the one spreading this information. both of us have followed 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. they were whistleblowers saying the investigation doesn't, wasn't done, right. all of these things lead to a very, very painted report. you know, there have been great investigative journalist like aramark pay that have looked at it. so there are 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 exhausted 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 p. c. w was very blatantly done by the u. s. and as partners i think the statement was pretty low level. it looked like something written out of hillary clinton's office using the russians of deception. disinformation, you know, the same as the basically the same things that they've always been doing. somalia continues to suffer from catastrophic hunger droughts. uncomfort these cut funding to the country due to a change in focus on a diversion of resources to ukraine. we heard from some locals who been affected by the development the d u, which used to help somali a lot now spends billions on ukraine to support that war with russia. it is mind boggling for the you to spend that much money and ukraine supporting a war that when somali or is facing starvation, it is so surprising to cd you, which is so passionate about protecting human rights. now ignoring somalia,

where people are dying of hunger, western imperialist countries only support each other. they don't care about africa or somalia, as you can now see, all western countries including the u. n have all abandoned us and are now fervently supporting ukraine, which is more developed in somalia. western countries have cited with ukraine against russia, but i believe these countries have an interest in ukraine now, hence their support because these countries only think of their national interest are traditional donors. the western countries are heavily funding new grain, which is far, much developed in us, and yet they still pump a lot of money into it. but needy countries, like so malia are being ignored in western countries, have now diverted the support they used to extend to. so malia to ukraine was overcome the current crisis in the region. the african union is requesting nearly $900000000.00 for somalis. peace keeping force for battling alco, calling out about extreme if there are concerns the african union force will not be able to operate properly due to a gap in funding caused by the ease change of priorities to put into question the

future of operation at lunch off the coast of somali in the horn of africa, which allegedly sold to protect international shipping routes in the region from piracy, was just to start the war. your opinion has been to the supporting ukraine astir that you donated such 5000000000 euros and military humanitarian aid and financial aid to give small i received 201000000 euros we spoke to political and security analyst, ahmed dear. she'd who says that it's important to provide aid to somalia. there's been suffering for the past 3 decades. thing. there is a double standard, you know, when it comes to ukraine and or funding other countries who are in the, if not in, you know, worse condition. it's more important helps amaya that has been in trouble for the past for the past 3 decades. whereas ukraine, the amount of money that the west and east has given them is extraordinary. the gulf of aidan is a very strategic walked away a shipping way. there's approximately 33000 vessels that go through that particular

area. and so it's very, very important for global shipping and especially proposing will to, to have access to you. it was definitely european interests that caused them to go into the area in the 1st place. so molly is in dire need of help. they are in dire need of how people are helping ukraine in the conflict. i think people should help somalia in our conflict against osha, which is in going on for 2 decades. you so i think europe in on you have responsibility in that aspect. the west are sorely focused on ukraine. i think this should wake up and look for new partners across the world. of on a washington is said to appoint a special envoy and belarus, to support opposition leaders in the country. that's according to the u. s. secretary of state. can you talk about what you're thinking with respect to a special envoy for bell roofs and when, when might we see that appointment happen? no. thank you very much center for raising that and yes or 2 things. as you know,

they in day out, we have the vilnius based of with, when he of ace yelled bruce affairs unit. this are embedded in, in our embassy and they're doing the day in day out contact. because so much of you know, the democratic opposition is in, isn't with when you, but at your point i were very actively looking at moving forward the special envoy . what i'm considering right now, looking at is dual, having a very senior official in our european affairs bureau to also serve as the invoice to be able to then go in and out engage at senior levels with the, with the opposition, even as the dealers affairs unit that's based in lithuania, does the kind of day and day out engagement? oh, washington opening supports. the opposition in bella ru sits look uses were from meddling in u. s. internal affairs from accusing former president trump of siding with the covenants who manipulates relations to hopping up hysteria and must media over. his alleged ties with the russian president, vladimir putin prob, involves the media companies acceptance of $8000000.00 from

a source with suspected russian tides. about how our former president consistently sent signals that he was not on ukraine's side. he was on prudence. russia state media backed the republican candidate, donald trump, a man known for his affinity towards russia. according to earl rasmussen, is a retired u. s. lieutenant colonel washington sponsored sellers are yet another attempt at foreign meddling. we would go absolutely crazy. we would probably sanction who knows, who knows who we probably would have joe biden on the phone with somebody or were at the blink and it would not be. it is not accept, it would not be fully united, pointing a formal representative to, to interface and, and work with the opposition. i mean, it's clearly clearly, you know, it looks like they're going to, once again go down the potential regime change. so it just does the indicator

of the arrogance within our foreign policy. and in kind of like, almost like we feel that we're the rulers of the world and we can do as we way. so i think that will, it is just another symbolism. i think that will further alienate other countries and make the very, very cautious on dealing with us or from on any of those stories as well as all the latest updates r t dot com is your place to go. i'm peter scott. i'll be back up the top of the hour with all of today's stories. thanks very much for watching. the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation,

let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very katy killed time. time to sit down and talk ah i'm action or it's antsy and welcome to going underground, broadcasting all around the world, from dubai in the u. a. in today's very special episode were joined by the democratically elected 22nd prime minister of pakistan. imran khan, overthrown one year ago, ostensibly by the country's national assembly. since he was overthrown, he has been short as well as charged with dozens of crimes from corruption to terrorism. with attempts made to arrest and assassinate him,
