o be deem almost new, there'll be a quote on my chair for slaughter. my bed must look it up from i'm a bit hole. ah yes the i arrest an american serviceman over in a legit leak of secret military documents despite im concerned only with the league, not as content also. every night asked myself, why should every country have to be tied to dollars for truth? why can we trade in our own currency? the brazilian president called for ditching the dollar and using national currencies as bricks, cast an even bigger shadow of the g 7 economy. he's but not like this, an american state funded think tank. rage is that saudi arabia restores prize with

us regional rival, syria, and iran and south africa has attracted over 1.5 trillion in new pledges, exceeding its target set. in 2018, i was interested parties flocked to an investment conference in johannesburg with good morning for moscow. this is our international with the latest world news updates. i'm fiorella isabel. it's great to have you with us. the u. s. department of justice, the f b i has arrested a 21 year old air national guard service men in connection with an alleged leak of classified national security documents. american officials say some of those files were altered before release, which has raised questions over the legitimacy of the papers are to kayla mop and reports. us officials say he came peacefully, he did not resist arrest. the 21 year old jack t x sierra is

a member of the massachusetts air national guard, and it is reported that the new york time was involved in figuring out that he was responsible for the leaks. he was a member of a discord server with 20 to 30 other people. some of them were teenagers under the age of 18. in this discord server, they shared jokes names, themes were firearms, racism, as well as christianity and opposition to u. s. foreign policy. apparently this member of the air national guard wanted to let his friends in the discord server know about what was actually going on. he had access to this information and he provided it in the escort server. now we understand he is arrested in charge of being responsible for the recent leaks. however, questions are re, does people look into the details, for example, why is it that a 21 year. busy old low level member of the wing of the u. s. military,

the air national guard in the state of massachusetts had access to these kinds of documents. and furthermore, why was it so easy to track him down with this kind of high level leak? you would think that the leak or would expect to be arrested and set up more barriers to protect their digital fingerprint. so many questions are being re, but at this time it appears. this is the individual who has been arrested and charged for the recent pentagon leaks. while the authenticity of the allegedly leak documents remains on verified us media outlets have been quick to claim that the files revealed china's plans to send weapons to russia. according to the washington post, such arms would be delivered in secret, disguised as civilian items. ya legation have been strongly rejected by china as beijing urges all sides the thought feeling the ukraine conflict and sit down for talks. former marine corps intelligence officer scott ritter,

says the leaks on matters of operation pose a potential threat to the country from a logical standpoint. he should not have access to the information that was contained on these documents. his job was probably um, in handling the documents either for destruction or simply filing them or he's not an analyst. but the, the problem is the expansion of the americans some security states, so to speak, with national guard units playing a, a more and more important role in, in the intelligence establishment. there should have been better supervision or for whatever reason. um the security was lacks, we know that the u. s. french and spies on its friends. this is not a surprise. danger, isn't that? oh, you know, if people know that we listen in on friends,

the danger is that people now know how we listen. that on friends, or because that same technology can be used for other things. our ability to collect intelligence may be damaged down the road and that could be a danger to the united states of america. in early apr over a 100 classified cia and pentagon documents flooded social networks and media, the leak was reported by western media to be one of the greatest in years and comprised of intel on ukraine and america's support of it. as well as information on us rivals such as russia, china, iran, and even washington's own allies. authorities have launched an investigation though haven't commented on the authenticity of the documents all while all the while the u. s. president doesn't even seem to be very worried about the leaks content. i'm not concerned about the weight. i'm concerned with.

another incident of the u. s. buying on as close as friends is reveal. it has many wondering if its allies will respond to the breach of confidence for more information on which states have been secretly spied on and the prospects of backlash visit our website. archie dot com with brazil's president, has crowns that chin and yawn. for the 1st time ahead of the brazilian president's visit to china, the sides are expected to sign several agreements, underscoring beijing's role as brazilian ki partner. so marie stuff, the head of the new development bank says that bricks nations continue to prosper and have already outgrown the economies of g 7 countries. it or not, or in the mice breaks, has become even more relevant together, the countries represent over 40 percent of the world's population and approximately a quarter of global g, d, p in purchasing power parity. it is asked me to take

a bricks, economy's already knowledge. i think the economy of g 7 countries here, i think the trip by lula, the relationship that's evolving with between lula and the rest of the bricks. countries and especially with china, is an enormous step in a long process. that long process has to do with the world adjusting to the enormous economic growth achieved by the people's republic of china. over the last 30 years, the united states is now going to have to share the position of a superpower economically speaking, a, with the people's republic of china. and one way that, that happens is to allow the chinese to enjoy some of the benefits and they are economically very significant. some of the benefits that come from having a currency that is used around the world for economic trade and capital flows and

so on. meanwhile, the chinese currency continues to grow more popular out shining the dollar as it's sharon world. markets has doubled over the past year. last february, the u on accounted for less than 2 percent of global trade. since then, the chinese currency has reached 4.5 percent with a yawn. now breathing down the euro's neck. the dollar share is also in decline as more and more traders turn to the yawn. moscow is among those dropping the dollar, and sabre of the yawn rushes turnover over with china. in the 1st quarter of 2023 increased by more than 38 percent, amounting to almost $54000000000.00. according to chinese authorities, moscow in beijing aim to reach $200000000.00 in trade by next year. professor of economics, richard wolf added that the world is witnessing

a radical shift in global economy. both sides, russia and china on one side, the united states and europe on the other are recognizing that the global economic situation is radically changing from what it was we are going through a period of rapid re adjustment. it's long overdue. it was facilitated and stimulated by the events around the ukraine war and we're just watching the adjustment process speeded up. ah, the u. s. funded middle east institute is in an uproar over the normalization of ties between syria, iran, and a number of arab countries. a senior fellow at the american think tank. charles lister claims art regional reconciliation means in stability for science. assuming nobody achieves any meaningful concessions from

a sad lease. normalizing will gift aside total victory. consolidate iran's gains, kill any old justice or accountability. make 6000000 syrians permanent refugees guarantee cirrus intractable instability as saudi arabia restores diplomatic ties with iran and syria. damascus has also announced a mutual reopening of embassies with denisia. meanwhile, the rain and could tar have taken steps to resume bilateral cooperation after years of discord. ortiz donald quarter explains why pro american scholars are upset to see peace in the middle east. a historic meeting of reconciliation between saudi arabia and syria after 12 years of several diplomatic ties, re ads even said it supports damascus. his attempts to reassert control over syrian territories and eliminate armed militias plaguing parts of the country. but as

always, someone in washington is not happy about the prospect of much awaited peace in the region of pulling and desperately short sighted. so it has welcomed a sas, foreign minister face on mcduff, and deputy foreign minister i man. so son to jed that the seasoned escalation, it's unconditional submission to a criminal regime. an arca state an o i of iran's islamic revolutionary guard, cor. that's charles lister, a senior fellow and director of to syria related programs at the middle east institute think tank sponsored by the us state department. it comes as no surprise then that he spent his career whitewashing the bloody deeds of syrian jihadist groups. rebranding them as moderate rebels despite the documented atrocities they've committed against civilians. these opposition may not necessarily be the kind of opposition that we wanted, but it has a very significant constituency in syria. so these are not necessarily people we

would want as our allies. but we have to acknowledge that these are syrians, and if there is going to be a political solution and they are not involved than we will be creating more of a mass than they're already ease are, are all shaw, mal, new sra, al qaeda isis. there's not exactly a gaping ideological difference between them and lister knows that as even admitted that aurora shaun's command structure was filled with former members of al qaeda. but for some reason, those in washington never really lost any sleep over working with islamic fundamentalists. in fact, the u. s. has a long history of using them to accomplish american foreign policy goals. to be fair, we had helped to create the problem. we're now fighting. and now once again, we're seeing history repeat itself in syria, america, supporting moderate rebels by this time to bleed the country dry of its oil. it's no wonder america's war. hawks are upset, but damascus is making friends in the arab world. syrian political analysts to lead

abraham says the u. s. policy of supporting radical groups is creating a catastrophe for the middle east. i think that there's an i just tested in to change this kind of rhetoric and it is approached her with a severe crisis. indeed that he had a criminal hour behind what happened in sylvia that address to send the tourist to school are and heavily back by the united states and our back and by that by c i. e, this is a part of the american catastrophe. police is of the middle east, how we will make a conciliation with terrorists with the creaming, as with the criminal unlimited space knows very, really that her out of sham and other military groups like that took stan army and like the harass at dean, which is more extreme, mr. dunn, russia, they know that they are, they are, those are,

do risk entities. and there are classified as a terrorist in 2000 and from national living. how we will make a reconciliation with him and how we will bring them to the political operation. should we bring to the rest of the government and cbs of apartment and syria? should we bring those whole be headed serious civilians and serious soldiers and killed and make exclusions here and there. so we bring of him to the parliament, should we form a parliament or a government of really criminal that this is on possible if this is, this is another proof about how much is that policy? if united states is very bad here in middle east, in fact, independent foreign policy has long been a trigger for the us, regardless of location or prior relations with washington. that's how the tables turned on that you need and president, who once rooted for the arab spring, but is now being branded as a dictator to get more on the u. s. as flip flop diplomacy,

stay tuned later the sour and while arab countries are restoring their ties, the u. s. has reportedly illegally transported 32 tankers, a syrian oil to its military bases across the border in iraq. last august, the syrian foreign ministry estimated the countries oil and gas losses due to washington's actions at $107000000000.00 is the banker real news editor of the credo outlet says the u. s. need syrian oil to funded proxies and is not actually interested in fighting terrorists, their locals in the north and reported a new come by of the us patient army, taking out several over to the us in tankers, of syria and oil to their records in iraq. so this is something that happens on a weekly basis from we're on reporting from our own investigations at the cradle. so these, these bankers they are thinking out of syria and not so much for the us to steal

these oil for their own benefit. but to be resolved, in order to fund these militia, the, approximately, the inferior man chief among the democratic forces and their activity that they carry out in theory on iraq, the united states and the as the control, large majority of the areas, oil producing sector of which came out there after that the russian army enters here to help the masters defeat isis, and of until the point of washington was pretty comfortable letting advance towards the masters. but one of the russians entered the freight and that's when washington created the s b s. their boots on the ground and started pushing back, i guess is not, you know, out of some interest of destroying nicely the theory about more to beat the masters and beat moscow's to, for control of these regions. ne area and in order to control their resources. so to be, to serve as a kind of

a 2nd type of pressure on top of economic sanctions. i guess the mockers despite security and energy challenges in south africa finance years have walked to an investment conference in johannesburg on thursday. the country has attracted over 1.5 trillion in new pledges over the past 5 years for passing its target. that's according to the south african president, 0 rama f o. so we have an outreach remember we have said 1.31.2 trillion. we have now a hit 1.51 trillion in commitment, meaning that we have over achieved and overshot our initial 1.2 trillion grant target. by 26 percent. but south africa's business confidence has declined again in the 1st quarter of 2023. and it has not

been in positive territory for the better part of a decade. so why would anybody want to invest here? i mean, lots of challenges, but the fundamental structure for them to society remains it from constitution, rule of law, liquid capital markets. but we have, you know, triple challenge. finally, infrastructure, economic growth, track and rising crime and fighting. so these combination of issues are what you're navigating. the president's making their either take the right direction, but the execution implementation is what is sandra saying, what's the challenge if there is one question about south africa is that electricity supply is never constant. and currently, the country is in the middle of the was power cuts in months, having to shave off some 6 hours of electricity per day. but while fallacy problems,

others see opportunity or an investor that goes to a country would want to go to a country that is very stable and stable, what we mean by energy stability and consistency. and they would want to go to a country that's got security. where this justice where they know that investment is very safe and there would go to a come to the infrastructure of that country is robust. and in this particular case, in south africa, we have an infrastructure that is robust, is very strong. wherever the that is very highly regulated and very strong, if you remember what happens with the other parts of the world, only sort of go us resilience. we have a challenge in the energy, which is really escal the challenges. i'm sure the government has made

some very good announcement in terms of how to deal with this challenges, but some a bucking the green energy trend and sticking with what they know betting heavily on fossil fuels. one of the biggest places here today, $55000000.00 towards coal mining, and with that turning their bag on the west and their green energy agenda. core businesses are business and it, when it, when we say an opportunity when one of our projects in the pipeline are readily available, fully license that legal invest. so currently we have 2 projects that are ready to be invested this year. one of them is in andrena milan got the arrows and bethel, we're from alaska, and the one in andrena. we already started developing the mine. it's going to produce $2400000.00 on per annum. and we will start developing the mine in bethel, and hopefully a quarter for decision south africa has set itself a new target of

a trek thing to trillion rand of new investment over the next 5 years. and as the current chair of the bricks club, they are looking for more increased trade and investments with other members of the block, the energy mix and hearts going to be diversified. so we're not going to depend just purely on a scam. we will have other sources of energy giving a picture growth opportunity but also securing the grid for us futuristic. so we remove this constraints of energy security from our country. they say numbers, dont lie. and while they investment driving data is impressive on the one hand when weighed against south africa's high unemployment rate. a lot more work live ahead for the government. got a bill is swati incense and john is very india's prime minister,

nor under moody has urged london to protect the asian countries diplomatic offices in the u. k. from attacks by separatist, he brought up the concern during a call with his british counterpart. the prime minister raised the issue of security of indian diplomatic establishments in the u. k. and called for strong action against anti india elements by the u. k. government concerns that supporters of a seek separatist movement are miss using the u. k. asylum system to support terrorism . we're also brought up at a meeting in new delhi between british and indian officials. the talks follow an incident at london's indian high commission last month where windows were smashed and the separatist towel astonished flag replaced indian national flag. you dally denounced the attack as a breach of security. the head of the image in india institute. think tank says radicals are taking advantage of free expression in the u. k. i close, you know,

quite a high profile incident. lat ah, some folks storm the indian high commission and they talked on the flag and they were trying to put of the colors, some flag and then et cetera. so it was a high profile in sit in india lost a strong purposed. ah, and the british, i think, are going to certainly not on words. look at these cases with a much closer micro school than they were doing earlier. and to the cases what seeking asylum and u. k. best separate this, what their activities are. usually several of them are within very much the space awful, all freedom of expression, et cetera. and the u. k. may not have any laws or legal instruments through, you know, get up all them up, comments by some, you know, you k based or i'm in the, vist, broadly speaking right on in the us, especially human rights and democracy. ah, that is a, that has not been looked really favorably in india for discussion in india in the

media. us especially also the television media, the print media that though wrist has its own standards, which it wants to talk down upon india or, or we're kind of giving the sermons to india so, so that is a, becoming a little bit of an edit. and now in india, ah, the sudanese military has warned of potential clos clashes with the countries rapids support forces after the powerful paramilitary deployed its troops across the country without the armies consent battle clark, when police movements and deployments happened without the agreement of the leadership of the armed forces, or even co ordination with that continuation, will lead to more tension and divisions that could lead to insecurity in the country. the rapid support forces are national forces that carry out a number of national tasks and duties guaranteed to them by law. and they work in

full coordination and harmony with the leadership of the armed forces and the rest of the other regular forces in their movements. sedans, army has been trying to establish authority over the country's military forces. and the r s. f is determined to preserve its autonomy. last year, the 2 parties signed a power sharing deal to an clashes between security forces. and protesters stemming from the countries 2021 who western powers in turn tried to put pressure on sudan, loring it with proposed financial support. once a civilian lead transitional government was formed, a political sociologist says, sudan is suffering from unresolved conflict and has worsened on geopolitical issues as well. in the country, as you know, before 2021 was under us sanctions. we basically isolated with the fall of general machines rule and the demise of the islamist. in a sense the country has been out of sanctions,

but it's still suffering from many ill. all the root causes of the complex from the past have not been resolved. the intention of bringing down into signing the ham accords with israel in exchange of, of aid and assistance in the transition. and of course, we don't forget the international politics and what was supposed to be the end of history in the 1990 has actually been falsified by recent events whereby new powers are trying to change the inherited war or the from the 1945 and also especially from the 1990. so this is being played out in many regions in the world. it's been played out in the middle east now more more in africa. but if we judge from the african leaders at the some of them who came to power in the recent,

he is clear that there is a shift away from old former colonial powers, especially france and towards new comers like russia, turkey. we saw this in money. we saw this in the r c and new share in other countries. so i think the next few years will be quite tumultuous and it will change the the geographic map, the politics in africa elsewhere. a leading us senator has criticized bite and stance on geneva, urging the white house to the last military aid to the north african country, accusing it of not following washington democratic values blur noticing, i think we still stay in business with brutal dictators. we still fund regimes that move away from democratic norms changed at the top of the list. and i think it

becomes hard to claim that your priority is democracy in human rights and the rule of law. if you don't change your policy, when governments start to change their commitment to a participatory democracy and i think you've got to put the conversation in tunisia in that broader context, that despite the u. s. pushing for regime change in tenicia during the arab spring of 2011, which led to massive civil and political unrest, as well as the economic crisis in the nation. political analyst and researcher christopher holly says the reason behind washington studies you turn in, rhetoric may be due to the regions progression away from u. s. policy. usually when the united states does something like this, it is all about who denisia might be aligning with. and of course, if somebody goes rogue, if a leader all of a sudden doesn't want to tow the line of washington than instantly they become

autocratic. they become undemocratic, if they tow the line, they are supported in the middle east. the sort of sun is setting on the u. s. empire. but the sun is rising in the east. and we see both russia and china playing strategic and progressive roles. and of course, we're seeing it in north africa, no doubt about it. algeria remains one of the most important countries in north africa, and it is a very close partner of the russian federation. we're seeing china's influence growing on the continent. tunisia, given its strategic importance, is finding itself also in the cross hairs. will it be aligned with algeria and therefore a sort of multiple the world developing, or will it be aligned with washington that remains to be seen. but if this narrative is continuing, i have a feeling that it is opening the bridges toward algeria and towards the east rather than the west. and that's her up for the hour. thanks for joining us. for the
