ah, a headline penalty international that's been amended in yahoo says israel will determine its own policy in the face of u. s. criticism over the prime minister's proposed traditional reform. meantime, some israeli officials, they're hinting that washington could, in some way be involved to the nationwide progress with iran and russia share their outlook on us sanctions. the ukrainian conflicts and a comprehensive strategic partnership between the 2 countries with why he's not the proxy war with russian is due to go through. oh, you said you said more than $2000000000.00 a year from the journalist who was right there challenging kind of as prime

minister with what should we say are they well brought us insensitive candidates providing intelligence to you, great military. okay. and special forces on the ground. you have a former many former occasions that have been killed in that are fighting with the program that you lacked without it. but he the faster for suspending the state broadcast from 24. that's after to add an interview with a reputed al qaeda leader, forcing uproar among the look. france 24 claims freedom of speech, but you cannot talk about freedom of speech, freedom of expression. when you talk about terrorism, they can be unhappy all they want, but it is our country, and our country is fighting terrorism. so the decision is just with, all right, i just talk to 4 pm local time. this is off international life from moscow from all of us here. very one welcome to you. so israel's a prime minister benjamin netanyahu slams what he calls,

the country's closest friends, saying israel will define its path independently of this comes on the heels of us criticism over the countries judicial reform that sparked nationwide protests. israel is the sovereign country, which makes is decisions by the will of its people and not based on precious from abroad, including from the best of friends are correspondent maria phenomena. joining us here on this story, maria, good afternoon to you that the israeli prime minister saying that, quote, friends, are exerting pressure. what? what do you think he means by that? oh hi, rory. these railey prime minister was talking about the us israel's closest friend and ally, and it's very active interference. and israel's internal affairs that meant and yeah, who is apparently, as you've just heard, not very happy about in the most recent gesture american president joe harshly. the path that israel toes to follow. let's take a listen. mike. mary jones,

we're israel, i'm very concerned. i'm concerned that they get this straight can not continued on growth. i go to made i clue. hopeful, hopefully. 5 minutes to rule. acting a way to work out genuine compromise with what also remains to be seen is when will the u. s. environment and yahoo to washington and the same speech bind and made it clear that for now these really prime minister, whose government came to power a 3 months ago and who already traveled to a number of european countries with official visits, is not welcomed in the yeah, much it's, it's, it's kind of interesting though because obviously america in israel, they share this unparalleled friendship and strategic partnership, of course. but there are some israeli officials who have even suggested that

america, in some way, shape or form could have her hand in these nationwide protests that does seem a bit bizarre. what can you tell us? yes, indeed. this trade of very harsh words, between best friends, israel and the you as comes maids claims from inside israel, from some israeli officials that washington may be in wall, maybe behind or even sponsoring massive. i'm to government protests that have been shaking the country whole, 13 weeks in a row. very unexpectedly on saturday. netanyahu's son shared an article on his social media about the report, the 3 bills that the stated pot case, a lot of money support in the organization that is leading demonstrator is in israel. some israeli official started asking legitimate questions. this protest is financed and organized with millions of dollars. we're following

what is happening. this is a very high level organization. there is an organized center from which all the demonstrators branch out in an orderly manner who finances, the transportation, the flags, the stages. it's clear to us the u, as has been denied o accusations or any involvement in protest movement here in israel. and the notion that we are popping up or supporting these protests, or the initiators of them is completely and demonstrably false. so is honeymoon over for israel and the u, as, as biden said, it remains to be seen back to you. oh, i live in tel aviv ortiz maria phenomena. thank you. i let's, i take this to cut discussion father here when arching to now crossing live to a simon sip is a political science international relations. a national security expert who's joining us here live on ot he international, a very warm welcome today. so thank you very much for coming on this program. i know you be listening to the report just now from the, from maria phenomena i,

i just fi this really kind of hard to believe, to be honest with you. some israeli officials are claiming that some of the protests against the judicial reform may have been or may be sponsored by washington. what, what, what's your opinion of that? that's something you want to put in your pocket democrats, company, public. on each end of this it's on julie shelby and each and every these children have its own jose, what good i think gives me, isabel, when we have a democrats on which computer it says, listed as or leave it all. and really for the right, this government, israel, which is now, but i know everything was right there. right. the government was have a situation with it when we have probably gone home, consider what the conservative mostly they right they

they offer you the way that we have a list and we will have them down that way around. have demo. got the right to do it. yes. so it can be, in my opinion, because when you tell me what's wrong with democrats and the public, i see, i see, i think you're saying you're saying over the years, for example, the netanyahu government is a trouble, has trouble with a democrat leadership in america. but with the republican leadership, it seems to get along slightly better. i wanted to ask if i may, joe biden still hasn't invited, didn't yahoo? to the white house. i heard that you all. who complaining about that recently even saw a comment from the white house saying chill out, mate, it'll be soon enough. why?

i mean, it, does this relate to what you're saying now about how that yahoo doesn't get along with democrats and you and it gets along with, with republicans. that's why he has not been invited to the white house. yes, i think in my opinion, this is one of the elements of diplomacy. i think how do you want a which is connected to and do a show, which is an element of diplomacy? he's been up but no, i'm a so i'm postponing go visit. so this is, this is a promise to play. all righty. all right. okay. what about me nationwide? protests israeli prime minister now has actually said ok, we will suspend the judicial reforms. i mean, tens of thousands of people in the streets and, and quite frankly, quite violent protests as well. do you think the demonstrations will come to an end now and at the end of the day?

is this a win or is it a loss for prime minister netanyahu? it's hard to read and it's not the lowest promise. she will continue with this or for july, the summer time. so i expect the demonstration to continue in july. and the program that we have now in israel, which, which is, which is taking up from the thought of a we don't have a constitution. this isn't the biggest problem with high, highly legal on with, for the school going home and not doing a program which is a 75 year old. so this is the problem. this is the problem with simon. before i let you go,

i'm just going to just squeeze this in here quickly. i mean, it's not an yahoo is in trouble politically do things i think, yes, i think it has a big shame now with a piece. and we probably won't see if those see us and the government may fall, we might have it. all right, let it go. science analyst, simon simon, is joining us live on our team. it's national great pleasure having on the program . thank you very much for your time. thank you. we had a big meeting today here in the russian capital, iran's foreign minister holding talks with his russian count the pot here at moscow . they talked about plans for a comprehensive, strategic partnership treaty between the 2 countries and a lot more regional cooperation. so gay laffer off though i did a moment to take a little job in washington saying that washington needs to lift sanctions from iran

. mute population was the world is still waiting for the us to resume its obligations in the iranian new killer deal and lift our sanctions imposed on iraq. one of the steve, when he joining us aliveness, you'd have to take this conversation, father and another big meeting and in moscow today between foreign ministers as the multi polar world continues to blossom, what are some of the highlight will exactly. the 2 men covered a lot of ground as we just heard there. so guy lab was very critical of the sanctions that have been imposed on iran by the united states. of course, they were impose after the a collapse of the joint comprehensive agreement. this was the ran nuclear deal and that the bar, the trump administration arbitrarily, are pulled out of now he's said that the sanctions must be brought to an end. now talks have been continuing air in vienna, not face to face, have been done through a mediator, but progress has been very slow in the area. i am of course,

at unsurprisingly, the 2 men spoke of our fellow, the situation in ukraine. labrons said that the west can end the conflict to any minute, but it decides to flood cave with arms. instead he said that last week he said that the u. s. equity is they ansley, blinking. you spoke against a ceasefire saying that it would be in russia's a benefit, but also the day a raining foreign minister, lambasted the western approach. and he as well called for dialog. let's listen to what they said. so throw norlisha dog. so discussing the situation in ukraine, we highlighted nato's undermining line of behavior than her with both feet standing in the ukrainian conflict and her being sucked deeper and deeper into it. honestly, i don't know if i can go any deeper. arabic bestsellers, the fact that the west to supply ukraine with weapons, in our opinion only worse as the situation in ukraine. we need to solve it by diplomatic means. now both men said that they supported initiatives for a peaceful resolution. they welcomed chinese president sheeting pings roadmap to

peace that was outlined again during his recent visit with to moscow where he met with president putin. but so guy lab roll said that those talks must be based on what he described as indivisible security that no country can the strength and security of another. of course, he was most likely referring to nato's continuing expansion eastwood despite promising not one more. but he said that this was enshrined in the un charter and shrine didn't international law. it is, it is fascinating though the, the moving and shaking. we're seeing these days, steve, on the political chessboard on his iran visiting moscow. right. because the foreign ministers of iran and all these other countries around the world that working overtime because so laughter off is working double over time these days. i mean, iran is poised to join the ceo, the shanghai cooperation organisation. iran is poised to join brits, brazil, russia, india, china, south africa. i've heard there are 22 other countries will want to join britain. you can call them the de dollarization coalition state because these are countries

with china's contemporary silk road. we're all going to be doing international trade and national currencies. i mean, this is hugely important. and the foreign ministers, they said that 49 documents that were required to join the shanghai cooperation organization have not been ratified by the reigning parliament. they've also spoken about, as you said, joining the bricks, bricks, airlines, 22 countries. and we just heard as well, the saudi arabia is now looking to join the shanghai cooperation organization that is now being agreed. i'm most sorry, jump in, but it was china that brought saudi arabia and iran together recently bought in it, of course. and the uranium foreign minister mentioned this. he in fact to signing to china for their efforts and mediating this hugely significant piece deal. which not only brings the saudi arabian iran together, but it's also warmed relations between you are a via syria. so these are the, you know, the u. s. is main strategic ally in the region. reality is now looking to opening

embassies again in both of those countries, sir, of course being welcome back into the to the arab lee. and of course, next week, as the radium forum, it is to set those, these called lateral talks between russia and iran. but looking to bring syria and turkey close together. so this the normalization of relations between those 2, again, hugely important for the 12 year conflict in syria. they've been on the opposing side of president ass out. of course, again, also recently in russia said russia played a very important role in, in this respect. but also again, you mentioned the soup, probably the bolton wrote initiative. china is a, get this hugely expensive project which will see countries trading in local currency. so this shift away from the dollar massively important because if the u. s. loses the dollar was the well currency, it loses its ability to dominate well finance?

well, and you talk about dominating world financial market, steve, i mean just very, very quickly. ok, you take the global south with the bricks, nation, the s c o members, the members of r c r. if you take how many of those countries are in charge of energy in the world? how many of those countries have the largest working labor forces in the world? and how many of those countries in the global south have the most g o strategic ports analyst the saying if you put the g 7 against bricks, hypothetically at the end of the day in the not too distant future, not if but when the bricks will out power, outmaneuver and out savvy. the g 7 members. station. this is a conversation that you and me will certainly have another time i see, steve sweeney. it's always good to see you. well, canada has sent more than a $1000000000.00 worth of military assistance to ukraine over the past year. and now the country's prime minister has had to actually say, dodge a question from a local journalist who asks him point blank, why canada is engaged in

a proxy war against russia. mr. tudor, mr. judo, why do you keep wrapping up the proxy war? why you keep around, you got the proxy war with russian. is there to go? you know, you said you said more than $2000000000.00. it was in service. they don't proxy war but and the native was just a bit other in the program. we were talking to eve angler, the canadian journalist, he was shouting those questions so he says, the country has substantially contributed to here to war effort. have a listen for us. live was mature paper, did a calculation tabulated that canada had sent $2260000000.00, canadian dollars in weapons already. and actually since then there's been a number of announcements. so i trust the newspaper more than i trust the government itself. so i think it's probably almost certainly over $2000000.00 and,

and maybe more, but that's only a small part of it. i'm in canada's providing intelligence to ukraine. military you have can in special forces on the ground. you have a former, many former cleared soldiers that have been killed in that are fighting the canadian government has, has lately contributed to the, to the proxy war as well as helping provoke the conflict. no more than a year ago. being politicians, it's remarkable. i mean somebody, even if somebody who's a strong supporter, what canada's doing in ukraine should at least want a debate about it. but the media, the mainstream journalist, they don't even ask the questions. there's not really any debate. it's just assumed that what canada is doing is good and the question is, should we do even more? not whether we helped it over throwing out a coverage in 2014 not where do we undermine the midst to piece according to our operation. unifier, training mission. not whether we should have, you know,

opposed us moves to put more and more nuclear weapons in eastern europe. and it's just to sort of assume that, you know, rush is all bad and our side is all good. and we didn't need to keep, you know, kennedy foreign minister didn't need to go to key them in january, didn't need to go there and push for nato expansion. that was absolutely unnecessary. did you and other things we did to sort of stop the conflict? if you don't know any of that, then you think the can is just, you know, putting money into a good cause. if you look at can a foreign policy and i looked at the foreign policy all around the world, canada is very closely aligned with washington. the canadian arms industry is completely integrated with the us arms industry. arms companies always like more wars and more possibilities to deliver weapons is good to the arms companies, canada founding the u. s. britain and canada found in nato. for formally founding 949 cameras, long been a very staunch pro nato force. and so,

canada is taking a very belligerent position, and there's very little cost, unlike germany or some of the central european countries, there's almost no cost for canada, right? of energy prices haven't gone up. and the, the spillover cost is much, much less than in some of the other nato. nato countries are shifting if there were 19 to national the head of the go. next republic says that advancing russian troops are in circling ukrainian forces. and the key town of viet go right here on the map. the question is, why is this area so important? well, russian authorities say that capturing the area would cut off a strategic position that keeps, forces have been using to attack what are densely populated, civilian areas for 9 years. now the town right here is roughly 20 kilometers from done. yes, that's the regional capital that and they say the russian, the russian officials say that if this is taken over on the russian control,

it would ensure security for the people of that region for the 1st time since about 2014. so open ottawa correspondent, roman culture ref isa. observing how the battle full of give has now pivoted with the use of drones on the battlefield. ah, international brigade that nash guy is just one of many groups who are working towards liberation of that sound of, of dave good, just outside of done as now since the start of the special military operation. we've seen the rise offer use of these drones now. this sir, this man, he is a drone operator and as you can see there is

a grenade attached to this unmanned aerial vehicle and a right now this drawn booth head towards the positions offer ukrainian and military. and we will see exactly what is happening. she's right now going to start the drone and i take it towards ukrainian militants. ah, the sheriff natoya says just procedure to leave. k is now portland circle. now we're working to strengthen our positions to provide visual control from both sides in order to introduce internal rotations. so far they have stable supplies, but that will soon seize as we gain further control of the roads. so let's explain to people who mercenary saw there. generally,

people with combat experience who usually take part in assaults. the defense of war is followed by ukrainians themselves. when it comes to the day of car, the 110th brigade, there ukrainians, armed with foreign weapons, things had reached a point where when the standard, the and line of defense is foreigners, the weapons they have all, without labels. there is not a single word in either russian or you, queen, you know them. and we have reached a point that when we hit the target, they will take off the port on a broken house and place a civilian there and will frame things in a way where them water is not visible. that so where present in a footage where there is a moot but also private houses and people in civilian clothes, in one case, 3 more to cruise more found based in areas that seem to be residential. we so this land with all blood and sweat, these buildings will all be rebuilt. we give you the food dish so that people understand why houses are being destroyed. we are returning from the outskirts of of day if guy after yet another successful mission. by a push stone,

he works almost every single day and goes to the front line in order to bring victory closer to roman casa, have arti done. as to republic former philippine president rodrigo, to turn a back in the news. after the international criminal court denied the government's request to suspend the probe on the ex leaders war on drugs, the now ceased by the contact with the well tribunal. we don't have a next move. there is nothing more that we can do in the government. and so at this point, we essentially are disengaging from any contact from any communication i guess with the i c. c. we cannot cooperate with the i c. c, considering the very serious questions about their jurisdiction and about what we consider to be interference and practically attacks on the sovereignty of the republic. the hague tribunal reopened as investigation earlier this year on alleged crimes against humanity committed under the toner phase war on drugs. and

government data reports show the more than 6000 people were killed and the anti narcotics come human rights groups. they say the death falls much higher while the us or the i c. c does say that the philippines have failed to persuade the court. there was enough evidence to conduct the prob, well, so the regal to say he was the 16th president of the philippines, initiated a crackdown on drugs as well as economic reforms including reforming the country's tax system. he also signed the country's anti terrorism with act and with all that, his faith, international opposition for his efforts, but at home is approval rating well up and down, but mostly let's learn more about this right now. of course, live for the director of south and south east asia philippine the middle east studies association. don mclean, gill, joining us live on our team to national great to see you today. what, what, what is your opinion of the i c c 's claims towards to try to pay? are they justified or not? well, 1st of all, thank you so much for having me on this very interesting and important topic. now we have to understand the root cause of all this, you know,

the systems of the processes are happening with regards to the issue. now, you know, at the end of the day will to lateral institutions, organizations that have several members must acknowledge, of course, that faith sovereignty remains the primary foundation of international relations of inscribed article to section 4. if the un charter was all parties to respect the sovereignty, now the nature of international institutions remains rounded on the dynamics of international structure. so the past, the bipolar unipolar order, such arrangements are more rigid and often and strained to 4 states, particularly in the developing world. but as we can see now, transitioning towards more people, arity and more polls continuing to emerge, particularly from the global. so the nature of participation in such institutions are shifted towards the more practical, flexible, equitable states, where it is deeply grounded to force these institutions on the concept,

the sovereignty. so they merge in reality that we can witness here is that is a need to understand the sensitivity must be given to respect. and that's one point . now if i may talk about particularly in the philippines position, the philippines is a stable democracy with a functioning checks and balances in a proportion, effective democratically driven electro system for the current position of manila is that we do not need to be constrained by an international body judgement when our judicial system is working absolutely efficiency. so sovereignty is the most press of possession of the state and no states in the developing world, as i've mentioned with a shift, have been given the opportunity to more effectively and more confidence. ne, safeguard their sovereignty. and in fact, of the morning, 1967, as always emphasize the rule of non interference, the interstate relations. so sovereignty sensitivity to states, you know,

they must be respected extra. no issues can be address, diplomatically between and among states involved will to laterally as well what internal issues will be addressed by state due to sharing. so in the philippines case, you know, we have an effective of functioning, judiciary and like any sovereign state, we give our trust to our course. and this has reflected the position of manila. i think, you know, you just mentioned the issue of an indivisible security. and that's something that rushes, 4 minutes to get laughter. i was talking about today with the iranian counterpart here at moscow, he would say that is the un charter as a principal of you and law, indivisible, security. and it's a conversation we'll just have to continue another time, the adama, clayton gill, appreciate you. joining us on the program here always appreciates your analysis and your insights. we'll see you again. thank you sir. ah, it was ok to have your company for this program here. on asi international, so of e u has

a last out of the west african nation of fossil for suspending the state broadcast of france. 24. offer an ed, an interview with one of the leaders of al qaeda. open out the local reporter. we're under, we are all in but can a fast so with details the decision was taken by the will he be government after $87.00 broke off by the french chinese discussing its interview with the leader of high that last african division. the government justify the decision by the part that the organization easily relies worldwide. as as a result, they will get a big government accused the price $24.00 of acting as they might be foretell, raised for by gander. france, $24.00 is not only acting as a mouthpiece for these terrorists, but worse, it is providing a space for the legitimate zation of terrorists actions and hate speech. right. then all these allocation a outweighed you and different. however,

in what god do people to support the decision which they believe was taken for the safety of looking at possibly lose you. when i think the decision made by our government to ban france, 24 is right. you cannot justify an interview with a leader of a terrorist group. they can be unhappy all they want, but it is our country and our country is fighting terrorism. so the decision is just north of france. 24 claims freedom of speech, but you cannot talk about freedom of speech or freedom of expression. when you talk about terrorism, we have every right to defend our country. think if you don't pick up later, the tensions are very high in this the hell region. our government and our troops are gaining ground against the terrorists. what france 24 did is not right. they have a huge following across the french speaking nations in africa, and they should have known better before airing the interview. some people believe somehow that's very good. tim.
