ah, go ahead. change every country have to be tied to the dollar for truth. why can we trade in our own that it calls for ditching the dollar and using national currencies? fado on g 7 economies piece but not like this. and american states funded think tank bridges. i saudi arabia restores ties with us regional rival, syria and iran. f. b. i arrest an american serviceman over in allegedly with bite. and only concerned with the league nodded content, south africa for passes, that investment target over the past 5 years, despite face and security and energy challenges with coming to you from moscow. this is our international with the latest world news update view with us results. president lula da silva,

is meeting with in beijing the to our to discuss various issues with economic gender earlier president lula called for new ways of trading or use of national currencies instead of the u. s. dollar. if thought the lord committed want to every country have to be tied to the dollar for trade. why can't we trade in our country needs to run after dollars in order to export it, when it could export in its own currency. the loss of who decided that the dollar was the current for de dollarization comes as china and brazil have conducted their fir. the brazilian president's visit to china. the sides are expected to sign several agreements, underscoring beijing's role as rumor. russo at the head of the new development bank, says that bricks nations continue to prosper and have already outgrown the economies. because it or not in my brakes has become even more representative of 40 percent of the world's population. and approximately a quarter of global g, d, p in purchasing power parity is,

is already knowledge of and the economy g 7 countries. here. i think that the relationship that's evolving with between lula and the rest of the bricks, countries and especially with china 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. the united states is now going to have to share super power, economically speaking with them. one way that that happens is to allow the chinese benefits and they are economically very significant. some of the benefits that come from having a currency that for economic trade and capital flows and so on, while the chinese currency continues to grow more popular out shining the dollar as its share world markets has doubled over the last february, the u on accounted for less than 2 percent of global currency has reached 4.5

percent with the you are now breathing down the euro's neck. the dollar share is also in decline. what moscow is, among those dropping the dust turnover was china in the 1st quarter of 2023, in amounting to almost $54000000000.00 according to chinese game, to reach $200000000000.00 and trade by next year. professor of economics, richard wolfe also said 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 demising that the global economic situation is radically changing from what it was we are going through a period of rapid readjust. it was facilitated and stimulated by the events couldn't result in the dollar becoming less and less dominant. and i

think so, how long that yet? that depends on many things. so it is going to take time to adjust. that's what we're seeing. the u. s. funded middle east and said to is it and of ties between syria, iran and a number of arab countries preferred to back so called moderate rebels or terrorist guess. a little bit of background on the middle east is rubia is restoring diplomatic ties with iran and syria. while damascus has announced a mutual reopening of embassies, was tunisia or have taken steps to resume bilateral cooperation after year, quarter explains why the u. s. is upset to see peace in the middle east, or historic meeting of reckons and syria. after 12 years of several diplomatic ties, re adds even set it supports damascus. his attempts to reassert control fate armed militias plaguing parts of the country. but as always,

happy about the prospect of much awaited peace in the region pulling and that's what really short. so i asked for a minister face on my dad and deputy foreign minister. i'm and this isn't the escalation. it's unconditional submission to a criminal regime. a not to state an l. i of iran's islamic revolutionary god cor, that's charles lister, a senior fellow and director of to syria related programs that the middle east institute think tank sponsored by the us state department. it comes as no surprise then that he spent his career white washing the bloody deeds of syrian hottest 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, then we will be creating more of a mass than their already ease. this is a part of that i'm going to going to test policy of the middle east, how we will make it a conciliation with terrorists with the criminal as with the criminal as under the states. no, it's very really that her armstrong and other military groups. they know that they are, those are risk entities and they are classified as diverse entities and then from national level, how we will make a reconciliation with them and 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. all out of space has changed their policies and change their positions and respect to the syrian crisis. the only part which didn't change its position as united states here as a middle eastern nations. we have a very long experience with american and,

and with western policies in middle east, which well, very catastrophic. indeed. and i don't seeing that to like to the states now if in a position and which kind of classify who was the criminal and who was the emerson who was the taurus and the who is not only come policies, always we have catastrophe in middle east and they didn't do anything good for our nations, which we can remember as the american sphere of influence over the error all drastically decreases. a leading u. s. senator has criticized biden's stands on kanisha, urging the white house to slash military aid to the north african country, accusing it of not following washington's democratic values. board noticing that we still stay in business with brutal dictators. we still fund regimes that move away from democratic norms to you at the top of the list. and i

think it becomes hard to claim that your priority is democracy and human rights and the rule of law if you don't change your policy. um mm hm. 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's despite the countries current president and the u. s. bo, supporting the arab spring of 2011, which led to massive unrest and economic crisis in the nation. political analysts and researcher christopher holly says the reason behind washington studied you. turner and rhetoric may be due to tunisia, progression away from u. s. policy. usually when the united states does something like this, it is all about who taneesha 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 in maybe 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 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 multi pull 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. the u. s. department of justice says the f b,

i has arrested a 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, are to kill them 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 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, mean 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 friend in the discord server know about what was actually going on. he had access to this information and he provided it in the court 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 old low level member of the 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? you would think that the leaker would expect to be arrested and set up more barriers to protect their digital fingerprints. 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 in early april. oh,

very 100 classified ca 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, support of it as well as information on us rivals such as russia, china and iran, american allies such as egypt, the u. e. south korea and israel also turned out to be the target of washington espionage. president biden went even further, showing disregard towards the contents sleeps. i'm not concerned about the weight. i'm concerned with contemporary moss, who has said it was not surprised by the allegedly evidence revealing nato instructors and fighters are taking part in combat operations in ukraine. russia's deputy foreign minister has also supposed that the leak might be fake, with the aim of misleading moscow. western media has tried to turn the scandal in

its faber, by claiming that the lease documents assert internal divisions within russian establishment over ukraine, while also demonizing moscow's allies like china, suggesting the pentagon knew its plans to give arms to putin. such reaction comes as no surprise as white house officials, john kirby has asserted that the leaked information should not be disclosed to the public. this is information that has no business in the public domain. it has no business, if you don't mind me saying on the pages of of from pages of newspapers or on television, it is not intended for public consumption and it should not be out there. for marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter says the latest leaks on america. spying is of no surprise for the public, but shows a friend of military forces exerted more influence on us intelligence. from

a logical standpoint, he should not have access to the information that was 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 americans 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, that 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. as yet another incident of the u. s. buying on as close as friends is revealed. it leaves many wondering if its allies will respond to the breach of confidence for more information on which states have secretly been spied on and the prospects of backlash visitor website. archie with the cds military has warned a potential clashes with the countries rapids support forces. after the powerful pair, military deployed its troops across the country without the armies consent battle cochlan. these 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. late last year, the 2 parties signed a power sharing deal to end clash as between security forces. and protesters stemming from the countries 2021 to western powers, in turn, tried to put pressure on sudan, luring it was proposed financial support. once a civilian lead transitional government was formed, a political sociologist says that sudan is suffering from unresolved conflicts and has worsened on geopolitical issues as well. in the country, as you know before 2021 was under us sanctions were basically isolated with the fall of general, but she's rule and the demise of the islamist. in a sense the country has been out of sanctions,

but it's still suffering from many ills. the all the root causes of the complex from the past have not been resolved. the intention of bringing to dive into signing the abraham accords with israel in exchange of, of aid and assistance in the transition. and of course, which is i'll forget the international politics and what was supposed to be the end of history in 1990 has actually been falsified by recent events whereby new powers are trying to change the inherited war order 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 region,

he is clear that there is a shift away from all former colonial powers, especially france and towards new comers like russia, turkey. we saw this in molly, we saw this in the r c and sharing other countries. so i think the next few years will be quite tumultuous and it was changed the, the geographic map of politics in africa. elsewhere in france, multiple people have been injured and dozens more detained as demonstrations against a man. all mach chromes, unpopular pension reforms turned violent with police using cure gas and beatings to disperse crowds. ah ah ah

ah, but it shows tear gas filling the streets as protesters face 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 decision, which is set to fully approve the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64, a move that was pushed through by the government without a vote in parliament. the classes during thursdays rallies included skirmishes in central paris with some protesters throwing projectiles at police who responded with force. there had been significant disruptions to public transportation in the french capital as widespread civil unrest. or were the reforms swept across the country. ah, as

a world celebrates the 62nd anniversary of the 1st man in space, eureka baron, russia in iran, hope to further develop their space. cooperation are key. contributor use of jill. ali brings us more details. today we hear a lot about mankind. the 1st man who braved outer space and took the 1st man fly to round earth's orbit back on april 12th 1961. the russian embassy into iran has hosted a ceremony to celebrate. the event brought together experts from the iranian space agency, as well as officials from iran and russia to celebrate the occasion which is viewed as a milestone in man's obsession with the extra terrestrial universe. it was actually a very remarkable day, not only for the soviet union, but worldwide for that is what we celebrate. because i think it's though i do not need to explain to you the meaning of, of this breakthrough went for the 1st day when history, the human being,

the man was launched all the space, the course was anti returned back safe and silent as you know. so you, the union was the 1st in this course mich race and you would you go guide and he was just there when he, the station of our cosmic program, and cosmic science in line with its plans to promote space technology. russia has helped iran take its 1st baby steps into space drawn, started a space program less than 2 decades ago, by launching its 1st ever satellite dump. see no one in 2005 using get russian launch vehicle. the successful project opened the door for iran to capitalize more seriously on the cutting edge sector. while it one launched its 1st satellite with the help of rushes, cosmos 3 m. carry a rocket. it has since moved to develop its own carriers. in 2009, iran launched its 2nd home grown satellite army. it is its own domestically built safe here launch vehicle. the country has says, developed and placed into orbit

a range of research, telecom and imaging satellites. in 2020, it shot into space. its 1st military satellites dob newer using an indigenous built to phased satellite carrier, the apt car said that we have is full cycle of space industry. this means that you're the, you're able to design, construct, test, launch, use actually use the applications of today. and her, this is the point that makes us outstanding in the region regarding actually investment. we are working with our colleagues in russia. we have good abilities, intellectually engineering's. and this, i think, gives us a great position that we hope to be able to have some common projects come on investment, even in iran or in rush. it goes without saying that using russian no how as a pioneer in space tech has been instrumental for iran to pursue its quest in space

. the 2 countries have in recent years decided to engage in more joint space projects that could speed up the development of the space industry in iran. in december last year, the iranian space agency and rushes teats pace. corporation rose cosmos, signed a cooperation deal, but will seat at one in moscow collaborate in manufacturing, telecommunication satellites, and related infrastructure. we have now prepared some joint working groups. it'll colleagues in roskus most and we hope to be able to finalize the items very soon. and we can give you some very good news from eureka gardens 1st glimpse of the earth from outer space to the construction of a space station. rashaw stands as a trailblazer in the space race against his western rivals. rather, are new to the game. iran relies on russian technology in order to pursue its own space exploration, ambitious use of generally r t. to run this might take curity and energy challenges in south

africa. financier is flocked to an investment conference in johannesburg on thursday. the country has attracted over $110000000000.00. the new pledges over the past 5 years, surpassing previously stated targets. that's according to the south african president, serial ram afo's. are we allowed rich? remember we're said 1.31.2 trillion. we have now a hit 1.51 trillion in commitment, meaning that we have over achieved and over shorts. our initial 1.2 trillion red target by 26 percent. but south of 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. 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 some see problems, others see opportunity. 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 the investment is very safe, and there would go to a come to where 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 regulated and very strong. if you remember what happens with the other parts of the world, only sort 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 these 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 back 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 we go and invest. so currently we have 2 projects that are ready to be invested this year. one of them is in andrena, move among the arrows and better obama langa, and they're wanting 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 said itself and you target of a trek thing to trillion rand of new investments over the next 5 years. and as the current chain of the bricks club, they are looking for more increased trade and investments with other members of the block. the energy mix and hards going to be diversified. so we're not gonna depend just purely on a scam. we will have other sources of energy.
