2:02 pm
a strategic partnership with our great neighbors, china, india and countries of the islamic world. the latin american countries, the countries of africa and countries of south east asia, a limit. well, earlier our correspondent marina culture ever broke down some of the main points of that document. the updated foreign policy concept has some 76 points. we won't go through them all, but just to give a main just store of things. basically, it's all about as it states it in the document, abandoning the dominance of the united states and working on strengthening corporation with other countries to make sure that this is a mole type, holo world, something that we've been hearing about, rory for a couple of months now, but this is not really cemented this now in the document, it's decree that was signed by vladimir putin and what it states here is, for example, we've seen that the u. s. is the main source thursday of this. and so russia policy
2:03 pm
and the document urges other countries, for example, to abandon the answer russia policy want, and also to get a greater independence from the united states. and russia for its part is planning to help developing countries, for example, to play a greater role in the global economic affairs who are the roches friends. we're talking about china, india, africa, it states it in the com and document as well. that islamic civilization, it's always seen in russia as friendly and they will continue to work on it. and the key point here, every time that we're talking about a corporation, when another country, it's all about being mutually beneficial. so they are benefits not only russia, but the other country that we're talking about and make sure that this is a multi polar world where the interests not only of the united states and the west are being observed, but also all of these other countries. and so that these other countries play a bigger role and we're not talking about the monopoly or the head to money that we've heard from the west. and it's allies. of course,
2:04 pm
one of the things that we put in was saying was that the global economy is going through serious changes, switching to new centers of power for the new multi polar world order. putin saying this is a key trend. it is a key trend and also in this document, it does say it does face that there will, there are, of course, his fine. so break up officer and partnerships that russia is foreman now with these other countries and that will work on eliminates in that. and when it sees something interference happening, it will act and respond also that there will be tackling, in terms of a humanitarian policies abroad. the priorities are bruce, a phobia, we've seen how much that's changed, especially since the special military operation began per 2nd. the russian language russian culture were sports. they're trying to cancel anything russian. it seems now in europe and, and around the world. flavor of the foreign minister keeps playing host to all these other for a minute. does it keep rushing to moscow? and if they're not rushing to moscow merida the going to beijing, for example,
2:05 pm
next week macro, the teacher's pet is going to beijing with o'sullivan de la. and i, so i assume that going there with a cap in hand because they know the multi polar world is already departing. exactly, said will be interesting to see what they achieve, if anything, when they go to beijing m, what happens there? but also again, just to return to this updated to a foreign policy concept in it, the 1st point actually dust states in the very beginning that russia does not see itself as an enemy, all of the west. it does not want to isolate the self from the west. the me to show you was much we know so isolating ourselves from the west. we have no initially hostile intentions towards them, but they must understand the interaction with russia is possible with the rejection of confrontation. so accept the reality that this is become in a multi paula world. they can no longer deny it. and what they're trying to do is to make sure that they don't hurt all the countries while they're trying to hang on to that dominance,
2:06 pm
because russia will no longer allow it. china will no longer allow it. there are other countries, bigger power houses in the world data already, and they're coming together. they just slip back to wallow, week or so ago when the chinese president came to moscow. and as he was leaving putin was one thing that he said we're witnessing the biggest changes in a 100. yes. and you and me are driving these changes. hands out of my put in simply said, i agree. yeah. and they're not the only ones saying this, everyone is aware of this nothing. this is why they are so concerned in the west because this is a power house union that we're seeing now. just picking up one of the points marina was going through there, jackie, shun, do a political analyst in south africa? told us earlier that as russia expands, ties with the global south, it makes the long dominant west uncomfortable suits the clubs. oh them i do. so did you, was it for a wide variety of reasons?
2:07 pm
russia has not had that central know expression in prisons in world change and for too long for the west in particular, united states and pretty much a we have enjoy that sort of. ready i was, you know, i think there's a realization, certain definitely in africa that, that we're sick and tired of hearing all these negative things about russia, which certainly we have no basis in truth and reality. africa has experienced russia and china in terms of mutual respect, mutual benefits, mutual dignity, more often than not. we've experienced the west as this big monster that an imposed look. so that dictates debt gives ultimatums. ok to another over
2:08 pm
a headline story. today. saudi arabia has agreed to join the shanghai cooperation organization. as a dialogue partner, the move comes amid the strengthening of ties between riyadh and b. j. a saudi cabinet session approved the decision earlier and china has been fostering allies in the middle east to contrary us in fluids. recently brokering an agreement between maria and around the revive their diplomatic relations. additionally, the saudi state energy company, romco, also signed to major deals with beijing and oil cooperation day with retired commer too. so do i need to joining? it's a not, not, not to, for the membership. so now this reflect some things, the, the importance of saudi arabia, saudi arabia is doing all these things. a sort of verse of why the income, the relation around the whole world. good edition is full of to come security.
2:09 pm
which means that that would cover everything. but i don't think it's a bad building, the united states, the noise, because the united states was so as the number one he's on the whole world. and one very, very important point is that it's china to the home was or as it's willing because we do the work is pretty big responsibility. and this is very, very big burden and, and china, i need to do our last regarding how they been hands to the outside world. but meeting the leading that well, mr. m. okay, and i mean, i like how you said that, but you're saying china is not ready to lead the world like america is, but america, sorry to say is a war mongering nation. look at all the countries that america has invaded over how many decades and you're telling me that china is not ready to leave the world. well,
2:10 pm
i'm, i'm not, i'm not here to get to sort of one, but i don't. that is, it is china ready to pick the response on the responsibility of the whole world. the united states is very powerful in economy and culture, education, innovation, and technology. so there's something b, b and also note that the, even the chinese currency is likely tied up by a price to the us dollar dollar. it's being slowly pushed out by members of the s c o, the bricks, the assay, and the global stuff. how can you tell me, how can you tell me for the dollar it will be taking forever. it's already fading around the world. people are pushing it out. there is nothing really not. space economy is one of the war economy at the time when the populations, 5 percent, i said whether you agree with us politics or disagree with them like them. don't like them until today. we've been hearing since the seventy's the diminishing got
2:11 pm
out. and there's going to be a yes. so it would be something more and more with the ease. but that doesn't mean that we are going to all of a sudden with a push, a button disregard of the the start to get deep relation with the united states. rushes ambassador to the us house call for the withdrawal of all american made nuclear weapons from non us territories. he also stated moscow cannot sit idle in the face of a growing number of nato allies conducting nuclear weapon drills. it should do it so doodle rushing in the 90s took all measures to withdraw nuclear weapons from the territory of the former usaa. we urged americans to do the same to abandon the thinking of the cold war period to return all us nuclear weapons to the territory of the united states. we also called for the elimination of the relevant
2:12 pm
infrastructure in europe and the cessation of the practice of the united states and nato by conducting nuclear missions. the practice is incompatible with neither the less and nor the spirit of the non proliferation treaty. we have asked nato to bring its policy in line with its accepted commitments. the modernization of these huge reserves is only gaining momentum. us weapons are deployed in the netherlands, germany, turkey, and other nato countries. recall that poland also agreed to participate in joint nuclear exercises. this is exactly the area that the measures taken by the president of russia are aimed at. and which has so frightened these the lensky regime and it's west and sponsors. or did you seriously think that we would not react to your provocative statements and actions? the 15 member body that leads the united nations assembled to discuss the issue of
2:13 pm
tactical nuclear weapons being deployed by russia in val roofs, and bela bruce agreeing to host those tactical nuclear weapons. now, many usaa line countries used this meeting as an opportunity to simply attack russia to blame russia for the conflict in ukraine to a huge russia of various things that we've seen throughout western media over the past months. however, when russia took to the floor, they pointed out something that many countries have failed to acknowledge in western media has worked to just simply not mention which is that the united states has been withdrawing and getting rid of nuclear agreements. and he went over in detail all the withdrawals of nuclear agreements that we've seen from the united states from there. and he went on to highlight how you asked policy more as been aimed at trying to dictate and control other countries and escalate tensions around
2:14 pm
the world. here's what we heard from russian ambassador in advance. zia zeppelin is thrown of the camel's. western countries are simply trying to impose their own rules on the rest of the world. beneficial only to them in order to then demand this strict compliance from other states. they themselves, of course, do not consider themselves bound by any obligations, such inherently neo colonial attitudes are aimed at ensuring the prosperity of the so called golden 1000000000 at any cost. neither. we know our colleagues from developing countries can be misled, and he more a representative of bell roost gave a strong rebuke to the western critics of their partnership with russia. here's what he had to say. moving of the group, we have repeatedly said, we will repeat it here that you should not meddle in our domestic affairs. and you should deal with your own countries and real human rights problems, life and dignity, health,
2:15 pm
security. and you shouldn't even attempt to find out about the desires of the bell russian people. when the bell, russian, people are taking important domestic decisions in the country. you have no idea of what the bell russian people really think. we invite all the citizens and taxpayers to take an interest in what their own countries are doing. apparent hypocrisy of the united states in demanding that russia not be able to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to bel roost. while the united states and its allies have nuclear weapons that was made clear by the remark buying the bench the before the council. china also called for the installation and particular in regard to nuclear weapons and also emphasizing the need. ready a resolution of the conflict in ukraine or negotiations to take way overall meeting highlighted very big differences between major countries represented on the council when it comes to their interpretation of world of dance. russia made clear that the united states is acting in
2:16 pm
a way that is provoking conflict rather than seeking resolution. and not really enforcing any of this rhetoric we hear about a rules based global order. well, despite russia's concerns about nato expansion, the block is set to get even bigger. the turkish parliament has decided to nod back . finland's bid to join the alliance. after anchor his initial opposition to the moon. i welcome to vote of the grand national assembly of tortilla to complete the recertification of finland, succession. this will make the whole ne, 2 families stronger and safer. hey, remember that old tag line from former vice presidential us candidate says sarah palin and alaska governor sarah palin. she said famously, i can see russia from my house that should be nato's tagline. so finland now is joining nato. it adds another 1300 kilometers to the western military lights is border with russia. at this point, it's kind of like some guy at
2:17 pm
a party getting within 3 inches of your face and insisting that because he's not actually touching you, he's just breathing in your face that he's respecting your personal space. now we keep hearing from nato officials and western leaders that nato is a defensive alliance, purely and strictly. but at what point does this endless encroachment just become offensive, particularly when there's entire liaison that is to target russia and that it's become really bold in acting unilaterally on its own and circumventing the united nations security council when it comes to bombing other countries that don't adhere to the western agenda like for example, serbia and libya just to name a couple. one member of the hungarian national assembly expressed concerns today about what finland's inclusion could mean for peace and stability. if finland joins nature, this will increase the possibility of an escalation, as well as the risk of a direct armed conflict between
2:18 pm
a native member state and russia. nato is participating in a game that the u. s. is playing beyond the borders of the alliance. the u. s is using ukraine as a puppet. in reality, it's not in the interest of the e. u to support the ukranian conflict and the sanction regime against russia. however, there is a bloodthirsty atmosphere of war among e, you politicians, finland, being a member of the european union, has also recently joined the chorus of western voices rationing up the pro war rhetoric against russia. and that's a new position for europe actually, which over the past few decades hasn't always blindly cited with washington for her french president jacques. she at auckland, german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, allied with russian president vladimir putin against the u. s. invasion of iraq, for example. and that was at a time when washington was looking to build that so called coalition of the willing . and that descent is actually what kept europe out of that particular quagmire to
2:19 pm
the economic and other benefit of the entire block and people of europe. today though, where's the voice of reason in europe? well hungarian prime minister, victor r bon, is still trying to draw attention to the fact that europe's role as a peacemaker has pretty much gone out the window with the conflict in ukraine. the number of countries supporting peace instead of war has not increased at all. people want peace while you leaders are taking a pro war stance for them. the main issue continues to be deciding which weapons to send to ukraine. it is slowly becoming a legitimate question among e u. leaders, whether e u. member states could send peacekeeping troops to ukraine in some form. not only as the e u, abdicating its role of honest broker or mediator between the west and the east. but
2:20 pm
it's joining washington and conveniently, exploiting the conflict in ukraine in which it keeps saying that it isn't directly involved to write a blank shack for its own military industrial complex. as suggested recently by the blocks chief diplomat, yoseph bro, europeans have reduced investment in the defense industry over the past 20 years. but due to the radically shifted security environment, we need to increase that again. specifically, we want to deliver a 1000000 artillery shells to ukraine. within a year, we're providing a total of $2000000000.00 euros for this. as part of the european piece facility with a reimbursement rate of 50 to 60 percent, we can allocate around $4000000000.00 euros with this new package. yeah, well it's now part marshall of creating problem that now has to conveniently ramp up the defense spending for. well, i guess if you cut yourself off from cheap energy with sanctions, as europe did with russian gas and your industry is suffering or bailing to the
2:21 pm
united states, then transferring a whole lot of taxpayer cash to ramp up weapons production will have to do. it's kind of like you losing your day job and then just deciding that, hey, you can be a drug dealer instead. knowing how easily europe was willing to follow along with washington's project of militarize in the ukranian border with russia under the guise at the mix. peace accords, the operative word there being peace. any new nato expansion along russia's border with in europe isn't exactly comforting for the future of european p security or stability. development at to tell you about now to one of our big stories this week. the wall street journal has the monday rushes and buster to the u. s. along with all russian journalists currently in america to be expelled from the country. it comes after a reporter for the art that was arrested in russia this week on espionage charges,
2:22 pm
or vice president biden says, there are no plans to expel anyone. the biden administration will have to consider diplomatic and political escalation expelling russia's ambassador to the us, as well as all russian journalists working here would be the minimum to expect. i don't know what's not the plan. evan growth of h was arrested by the f. s. b on thursday on charges of espionage. he's accused of trying to obtain classified information about the russian defense industry. in moscow court rule to keep the american journalist behind bars for 2 months, pending further investigation. he could face up to 2 decades in prison if find guilty. the west has been quick to condemn the detention russia's decision to detain us journalists, shows their complete disregard for media freedom. we stand shoulder to shoulder with the u. s. in defense of these fundamental democratic principles, the
2:23 pm
e u condemns the detention of evan gerber giving a journalist in us citizen in russia. journalists must be allowed to exercise their profession freely and deserve protection. the russian authorities demonstrate yet again, their systematic disregard for media freedom. while just on those last remarks, russian foreign ministry spokeswoman re as a heart of a slum, the chief for his comments suggesting he could show the same courtesy to arrested sputnik journalist, murat calcium unto whistleblower julianna's, son. she is facing extradition to the u. s. and a potential sentence there of 150 years. u. s. journalist and author done, the lazar said it's hypocritical for the west to act. i raged while detaining the wiki lix finder what's been done to julian sanchez is tragic. it's brutal, it's unjust and extreme. and it shows that the west really is not committed to a free press at all. i mean, he's, and he's in a maximum security prison,
2:24 pm
his health has suffered, his mental balance appears to have suffered. i mean, he, you know, he may have done things that were, that, that, that upset people who received information from corporate saw sources. he published it, he made people like, i like, like joe biden very angry. in fact, joe biden called him, are high tech terrorists at one point, but he is, but healing him with the, with a. and that's been our charge that could keep him behind bars for the rest of his life is also a grotesque crime against journalistic freedom. is this grossly hypocritical, i mean, obviously, joe biden, who has been outspoken his condemnation of his sanchez now turning around and doing the opposite and blaming russia for doing what he has done to us ours. i mean us policy towards the stars has been brutal. the man's been in jail for,
2:25 pm
for years his, it is physical health, his mental health of all suffer greatly. alright, just to the middle east finally with a new, as really governments on a rampage against human rights. that is the dumbing indictment of the head, the global body, human rights watch. with the current state of the israeli government and the tax on the dish, or in particular, we see that this is not a human wise complied government. this is the government that's actually on the rampage against human rights domestically against its own people in israel. it comes as massive protests across israel continue against the government's judicial reforms severely restrict the legal branch. the is really foreign ministry is head backed by the way, at the comments by the prominent human rights watch them. israel is a strong and vibrant democracy, the demonstrators over the last few months or an impressive example of it. hundreds
2:26 pm
of thousands of people are manifesting in the streets, no violence protected by the police. this is how real democracy works. well, we spoke to american labor rights lawyer done cobble. if you say the rights organizations, criticism of israel is late and coming, i am happily surprised by these words. usually i find human rights watch to be more or less a mouth piece of the west. they tend to be, to save their, their, their biggest criticisms for adversaries of the united states. but here they're really going after israel. and they even said something in that report where they, they criticize the us for not holding israel to account for human rights violations . and saying that the us should hold them to account in the same way that they all countries like china. that's a radical thing for human rights watch to say, but it's an appropriate thing to say. they should have been saying this sort of thing for a long time and maybe chose to share. maybe they realize they've been too much in
2:27 pm
the, you know, sway of their donors and let's face it, they get all their donations from the western countries and of lack that certain objectivity and therefore credibility. and i hope this beginning of something new that i've been writing about this for a long time myself being critical of really how these human rights groups have really been in the tank for the west. and i hope that's changed down, collect blank checks on as long as it takes those are the slogans. the u. s. political elite have repeated on numerous occasions when it comes to ukraine, but those that continue support to key have come at a price cross talk. discuss this with blue
2:28 pm
. ah . with hello in. welcome to cross stock, were all things are considered? i'm peter labelle. foreign policy is rarely front in central american electoral politics. however, biden's door, a cross stopping the g o p. i'm joined by my guess, lionel and new york. he is a legal and media analyst in miami. we have nicholas davies. he is co author of war and ukraine making sense of a sense was conflict and in budapest cross at george 70. well, he's a podcast to read the gaggle which can be found on youtube and locals are gentleman, crosstown rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want,
2:29 pm
and i always appreciate why don't i guess a very simple question here. as i said in my introduction, foreign policy rarely pays plays a big role in authorial politics in america. but we have a presidential cycle coming up, and the issue of ukraine is in play here. it's in play very much in the republican party. we seem to have the elite very much in support of it. and the base, not so much. is this good if the war continues, this is going to be a wedge issue, lionel. now the only thing that i will play in, by the way, let me backtrack a bit. it's very rare when you have left and right and whatever iteration this is agreeing on something in theory, they believe in this disconnected kind of a psychotic thing called the war, or in ukraine and supporting ukraine on the front page of the new york posters. ukrainian flag and that's.
