is, is you have the state department to see a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations, choose your facts for you, go ahead, change and whatever you do, don't watch my show, stay mainstream, because i'm probably going to make you ah, every night ask myself, why should every country have to be tied to the dollar for trade. why can we trade in our own currency, king the dollar and using national currencies as bricks cast and even bigger shadow on the g 7 economy with ease but not like this. in american faith funded, think tank rages as saudi arabia were stores, ties with us regional rival, syria and iran. yes, the i are to dollars in order to export 1000000 presidents visit to china in purchasing power parity enemies, already larger than the economy of g 7 countries. economically speaking with the
3:01 am
people's republic of china. and one way that, that happens, some of the benefits that come from that is used around the world for economic trade. 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 u on moscow is among those dropping the dollar in favor of the you on russia's turnover 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 $200000000000.00 in trade by next year. professor of

economics, richard wolfe also said that the world is witnessing a radical shift in the global economy, one that could result in the dollar losing its dominant position, both sides, russia and china on one side, the united states in 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 couldn't result in the dollar becoming less and less dominant. i, i think so, how long it will take, i don't think you can tell that yet. that depends on many things. so it is gonna take time to adjust. that's what we're seeing,
3:03 am
an adjustment process. the u. s. fundamental least in situ 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 at regional reconciliation means instability for syrians. assuming nobody achieves any meaningful concessions from a sad lease. normalizing will gift a saw 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, as also announced the mutual reopening of embassies with denisia. meanwhile, bahrain and could tar have taken steps to resume bilateral cooperation. after years
3:04 am
of discord, artes donald quarter explains why pro american scholars aarp sat to see peace in the middle east. a historic meeting of reconciliation between saudi arabia and syria after 12 years of sever diplomatic ties, re ads even set it supports damascus. his attempts to reassert control over syrian territories and eliminate armed militias plaguing parts of the country. but as always, some one 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 arc of state, an l i o runs islamic revolutionary guard, cor. that's charles lister, a senior fellow and director of to syria related programs at the middle east
3:05 am
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 their already eas, are, are all shaw, mal, new sierra 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
3:06 am
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, that 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, then i just basically didn't to change this kind of rhetoric and it is approach to the syrian crisis. indeed, of the criminal behind what happened in syria that to the rest of the tourist who are and have really back by the united states and out back by that by c i a, this is a part of that. i'm going to get policies of the middle east,
3:07 am
how we will make it a conciliation with terrorists, with agreement as with the really criminal as under i said, states, no, it's very well that her out of shop and other military groups like that to me and like harass dean which is more extreme, mr. dunn show, they know that they are those entities and the classified as entities and then from national level how we will make a fighting stance on denisia at the top of the change, their commitment to participatory democracy. and i think you've got to put the conversation in geneva in that broader context. that's the fight, the country's current president. and the us post supporting the arab spring of 2011, which led to massive unrest and economic crisis in the nation. political analysts em researcher christopher wally says the reason behind washington,
3:08 am
sudden you turn in rhetoric may be due to a new just progression away from us policy. usually when the united states does something like this, it is all about who tenisha 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. and julia 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 confidence tunisia, given its strategic importance, is finding itself also in the cross hairs. will it be aligned with algeria and
3:09 am
therefore a sort of multiple world developing or will it be aligned with washington that remains to be seen. but in 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 while arab countries are restoring their ties, the u. s. has reportedly illegally transported $32.00 tankers of syrian oil to its military bases across the border and iraq. last august, the syrian foreign ministry estimated the countries oil and gas loss is due to washington's actions at $107000000000.00. a step on korea news editor of the cradle outlet. so the u. s. need syrian oil to fund its proxies and. * is actually interested in fighting terrorists their locals in the north and reported a new come by of the us, of the patient army taking several over 2000 and tankers of syrian oil to their
3:10 am
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, the factors they are taking out of syria and not so much for the us to steal these i all for their own benefit. but to be resolved, in order to fund these militia, approximately the inferior man among the democratic forces and their activity that they carry out in theory on iraq, the united states and the, the control large majority of the areas producing sector and which came up there after the russian army enters syria to help the masters, defeat ices, and other build a fine. washington was pretty comfortable letting in advance towards the massacres . but it was the rush of the freight. and that's when washington created the f. b f, as their boots on the ground and started pushing back, i guess is not, you know, out of some interests of destroying. i couldn't hear you,
3:11 am
but more to beat the masters and beat moscow's to, for control of these regions. in ne, syria, 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 markets the u. s. department of justice says the f b i has the rest of the day 21 year old air national guard service men in connection with an allegedly 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. our teeth kayla me up and reports us officials say he came peacefully, he did not resist arrest the 21 year old jack t x. the era 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
3:12 am
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 at jokes, means themes were firearms, racism, as well as christianity and opposition to us 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 in the discord server. now we understand he is arrested in charge of being responsible for the recent leaks. however, questions are raised as people look into the details, for example, why is it that a 21 year. busy old low level member of a wing of the u. s. military, the air national guard, 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? he would think that the leak or would expect to be arrested and set up more
3:13 am
barriers to protect their digital fingerprints. so many questions are being read, 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 late documents remains unverified. u. s. media outlets have been quick to claim that the files reveal china's plans to send weapons to russia. according to the washington post, such arms would be delivered in secret disguise as civilian items. the allegations have strongly been rejected by china as beijing urges all sides to thought fueling the ukraine conflict and sit down for talks. for marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, says the latest leaks on american spying. are no surprise that to the public, but show a friend of military forces exerting more influence on us intelligence. from a logical standpoint,
3:14 am
he should not have access to the information contained on these documents. his job was probably 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 american security state. 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 that people know that we listen in on friends. the danger is the people now know how we listen it 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 april, over
3:15 am
a 100 classified c i, a 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 u. s. rivals, such as russia, china and iran, american allies such as egypt, the u. a east south korea and israel also turned out to be the target of washington's espionage. president biden went even further showing disregard toward the leaks contents. i'm not concerned about the weight and i'm concerned with how can contemporaneous and as yet another incident of the u. s. buying on its closest friends is revealed . it leaves many wondering if its allies will respond to the breach of confidence for more information which states have secretly been spied on and the prospects of
3:16 am
backlash visit our website at r t dot com. in france, multiple people have been injured and dozens more detained as demonstrations against a man, norma, crohn's unpopular pension reforms, turned violet with police using tear gas and beatings to disperse crowds. ah ah ah ah! but it shows tear gas filling the streets as protestors faced off against riot police, officers are attempting to regain control over the situation by brutally beating their own citizens. this all comes on the eve of the constitutional council's

3:18 am
red target by 26 percent, but sat up, it has 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? obviously lots of challenges, but the fundamental structure for them to society remains it from constitution, rule of law, liquid capital markets. but we have a triple challenge filing 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 interesting. what's the challenge if there is one question about south africa is that electricity supply is never
3:19 am
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 does 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. we have read the telecoms industry. that is very strong, wherever the financial services industry. that is very highly reg,
3:20 am
later on, very strong. if you remember what happens with the other parts of the world, only south of rico us resilient. 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 are 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 vet, turning their bag on the west and their green energy agenda. core businesses, our business, and it, when it, when we see an opportunity when one of our projects in the pipeline are readily available, fully licensed, that legal invest. so currently we have 2 projects that are ready to be invested
