ah, russia has declared it strategic partner ship with china and india priority, which will continue to strengthen. that was one of the cornerstones of moscow's foreign policy doctrine, believes it's past the years to come of china and gives priority to game is also russia. our line is policy though, for the chinese form is the idea that beijing is co operation with moscow. and you deli, is a pillar in the emerging mo, polo world. it follows chinese leaders. she shouldn't things visit the russian capital last month. a certain number of biological documents signed, including energy deals, train, paddles, and the scientific and education partnerships. the quitman has said that new delhi and moscow are exploring the use of the north sea, shipping root above the arctic circle to handle the projects an increase in trading

volumes. yet we spoke with david dead thus, and so at the new indian new site, he says, the russia, india, china strategic triangle will benefit a multiple world show china and india. this relationship has been mooted, even in the 19 ninety's by the, by russia, in the early days of after the soviet union. and when the new russian republic was coming into it's own. and since then this has been on the bill in bill has never said door to it and i think. busy india more and more, it has shown that he wants a bulk deal that 3 word. and this is one aspect of the boundary multilateral work in which show the 20th 21st century needs to move forward. india. busy has decided

to buys or particular incident beam or thought man with will grant their wish. here mccarthy yourself have said that multiple times now that we need to arm taiwan . now before there is any sort of invasion. what about you, when can you read and authorize use of military force that would come out of my committee, or a declaration of war, which we haven't you license or to which you support that? i think your so if the of china congress, china invades tie one, i think that is and certainly if the american people support this, the congress will follow the controversial confrontational was word delivered in the islands capital taipei, as a us delegation visited on thursday back in washington on the other side of a foreign exchange house, we had kevin mccarthy hosted, tie ones leader in the face of the objections from china. while on saturday phasing

lot, 3 day, the lindsey drilled around the territory. the chinese pharmacy also issued a statement that sought to clear up any confusion regarding the one china principle . payment key to shy one is an inseparable part of china. china, so anti and territorial integrity has never been divided and division won't be allowed. some countries hype up the false narrative of democracy versus authoritarianism and use the pretext of democracy to support. and can i have the separatist forces in taiwan for independence in order to contain china? this approach is extremely dangerous and will not succeed. calling to a professor at a soon child university and media commentator, victor gough, question whether the congressman is on the same page as the american public if it comes to american troops having to fight for ty one. i think congressman mccall is completely misjudged and misguided in calling for

a war between china, the united states regarding co separatism. because i would say that it is absolutely against fundamental interest of the american people for any one to all u. s. soldiers to die and shed blood for what? for i one separate is an anti one of the independence, which has nothing to do with the united states and the u. s. position regarding ty, wind right now as it stands, is a position of illegitimacy illegality. illogic had a t and an sustainability reveal all the chaos sick us withdrawal from our 102021 has been published by the white house national security council. suppose and john corby appeared before the media praising of the current administration's actions while placing the blame on previously the ship for

the issues of witness in the wake of the departure. hundreds of people were killed including a number of us servicemen. american troops also left behind more than $7000000000.00 worth of military gear myth. kirby though remains proud of the pullouts. i remember going through all that, ah, that's pretty remarkable. that airport was basically for all intents and purposes, american property a, i'm sorry, i just will buy the whole argument and chaos with all this. talk

a chaos. i just didn't see a there was a lot that went right so yeah, there's a lot to be proud of. peter, the us invasion of iraq, which left a trail of destruction including up to a 1000000 civilians killed. i'm countless mold. the space has passed. it's the 20th anniversary. they'll continue our special coverage of the vent reaction that through the all rich country into chaos. and, and d stabilize the region 3 years to come. aah! i made the grandma see the u. s. based analytics center gallup has released

a poll, which found that a majority of muslim nations do not see the us as a democracy building power in iraq to give one. but one example, 72 percent of respondents do not. but if quote, the u. s. is serious about encouraging the establishment of democratic systems in countries. on this day 20 years ago, a large statue of iraqi leader saddam hussein was toppled in baghdad. the monument, seeing as a symbol of rule in the country, was brought down by iraqis with the help of u. s. marines. the event received wide coverage in west and media which headlined the day as an end to the same era. but us forces were not done in the country. 2 years after the invasion of iraq began, american troops, gun down 24 civilians, women and children among them in the town of her teeth,

one of the 8 marines involved pleaded guilty to negligence. all other charges, including involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, were dismissed. all the correspondents do. sweeney travel to the country to hear firsthand about but heinous, incident. and the legacy u. s. military adventure isn't best behind. i isa was a town the very few people outside of iraq knew before, 2003, but it soon became known throughout the world. off to you, as marines went on, the rampage, massacring 24 people like fallujah. this was also a revenge attack. it followed the killing of a you, a soldier and a roadside bomb here. but the victims were women, the elderly and children as young as one who was shot multiple times at close range . clara, they killed my brother, my uncle, to heat my uncle rashid, my father,

my mother and my grandmother. the amy survivors. will my brother up till my sister asha and me? yes. again, the military tried to cover up the truth, but was soon for so amid that marines might have deliberately targeted civilians aware that the completely sealed off the entire city for a month. not allowing any one to enter and arresting any one who spoke about the incident. so the issue did not appear in television for a long time, but the ones who actually provoked the situation with the americans themselves. the pain is still felt by many haven had ether, including mister colored, who lost 15 members of his family. in the massacre stubby had he on, on january 19th, 2005, a land mine exploded at a place where the u. s. military was located. we were used to the fact that after some kind of explosion, there would be screams for about half an hour, but then everything would be silent afterwards. that time it was different. the screens continued and the sounds of shots fired by the american military continued

terrifying the residence of the city. it turned out that an american humvee was blown up. they broke into the house of abdul hassan and killed 7 of its residence. they also broke into the house of my cousin and killed the aid of the people who were living there. they also stopped a taxi that was carrying students heading to baghdad to study the executed them in cold blood. after that, they broke into the house of ai, it al gray, airy and killed 4 people. it was a terrible day. it terrified the entire city, the american military, the militants and al qaeda. one might say we're playing a game of cat and mouse, and ordinary citizens were the only ones who really suffered from this. every day we heard shooting in the city, the result of which was always the cold blooded murder of civilians. hundreds of innocent people died in such incidents. he described drug cray soldiers who lost

control as they went on a 3 hour killing spree ah, elephant a 20 years after the americans evaded my country. iraqis still remember this with great pain and suffering because of the disasters the americans left behind. yes, my country suffered from economic weakness due to the devastating war with iran, but life was safe in the cities and in the country as a whole. however, with the arrival of the americans, that security ended before the american invasion. there was a kind of social equality between different levels of society. but after the american invasion, a corrupt class emerged rising above society. previously, iraqis were kind sociable, they showed brotherly feelings towards each other and generosity. but after the americans came, drugs began to spread. families began to disintegrate. social degradation began increasingly we began to hear about things alien to our society that a son killed his father or his family and all of this because of drugs. it didn't

come out of nowhere suited by the americans are gone, but traces of the u. s. still remain in my country. they manifest themselves in the economic and social spheres and their ugliest forms. the people of these are have been denied justice house of the 8 indicted 6 or the charges dropped altogether while one was found not guilty. the only soldier to face caught merely los rank and had his salary reduced, leaving the victims loved ones angry. i remember they may have been women and there may have been children and there is a squad leader. your responsibility at that point is to say, cease fire. let's not take another step which is kill some women and children here . my responsibilities a squad leader is to make sure that none of the rest of my guys died. so no, i don't believe so. and i took it in, i believe that the u. s. president at the time,

george bush and the other leaders who supported him during the occupation of my country, as well as their armies. bear collective responsibility for every drop of innocent blood shed in my country. any rock international courts must work hard to bring those criminals to justice. judicial decisions must be made to improve the transparency of fake western democracy. once again, washington has committed war crimes with impunity. and 20 years later, it is ordinary iraqis that has still paying the price. the receivers were not the only victims of the us presence in iraq. i'm al jazeera correspond that was killed out as a result of a u. s. s. like on the child, me the bureau in baghdad. 20 years ago to this day. no one has been how the countable for the journalists death. oh yeah. me at a bow during his stay in baghdad. he was there for 4 or 5 days. he made 3 reports,

and for me each report was a reassurance of him being safe and sound ah, [000:00:00;00] with awe and dizzy kenneth off al jazeera, did send the coordinates of its baghdad bureau to the american troops,

to ensure the safety of the journalists while fulfilling their work and to assert that they are not part of the war. there is a sense that the office was deliberately targeted because they already knew the coordinator. and joe will an a levy before the fall of baghdad. on april 9th, the general atmosphere was tense. everything had been prepared to promote the only narrative that of the american army or do they didn't want any other narrative to go. public. journalists in the iraqi capital were not biased. they were witnesses of the truth. what the u. s. didn't want those witnesses to tell their stories about what was happening and what would happen later on. and the ha ah, according to commanders on the grounds, coalition forces came under significant enemy fire from the building where they al jazeera journalist working and consistent with the insurance right of self defense coalition forces returned fire. sadly,

al jazeera correspondence was killed in this exchange. as a supplemental into this missile wasn't fired accidentally, it was intended to kill, to wreak, and his colleagues in his unfair war on iraq. like many others, this case remains unpunished. he had the in, ah, on people so hot and there were commons coming from the american presidents describing the civilian casualties as collateral damage, something inevitable, given their false message of liberating iraq from terrorism. and our case, the journalists who had nothing to do with this war, he paid the price to al jazeera, as coverage of the iraq war, had been widely recognized by international organizations for its transparency, professionalism, and high standards. the employees who were arabs and muslims,

did it here to professional standards. you're never going to change the truth when you see shattered civilian houses and killed children. leah with the any and the military always talks about ethics. but what is happening on the ground is exactly the opposite and neither the pentagon nor any other
