this is why you know, ah, motivates nato, is it strategic interests and geopolitical position? but one thing is, certain, the alliance has put, it's very exist a power military rage on it to the 13th day. this is despite the fact that i'm competing with out a flag that russian tide. we had her story with to help with the war. that as president change in pink and with the date is great to happy with a violence in that injured. as according to the world health organization, a warning so in the city of on demand, there were no faith policies with the national army, all since truck. all right, that a why the conflict in the region representative of the organization i'm a crew could sign that either is regulatory victory oversee or it's

bearing. it's just as into previously agreed. she's filed clashes of destruction, all this on the streets on money, injuries among civilian payment. so you got the army aircrafts were still flying over their positions and confirms that the army was more than one decision center army per month with a true so not this lashes are still resulting local tv channel instead of a leader of the former regime. but how do you think that they managed to get out of prison? they would protect them? there are people at the support the on process. how going to stedman cause the noise of the islamist inside the army corps month juice after during parties are convinced of the need to stop the plot chip on which are t. so done, hospital countries. i did leon takia the usa, k and e. you also like pro who escaped to paris and spoke of the horace. he saw the bass or in the morning about a there is no water. ok. i thought there is no food there is

maybe there is no more because it is born in the in the ground. ok. seen them one couple of interesting how could, how could i use i am ice many and i saw 6 years old. his father died before 5 years, please w for form what the child did before. it's a cry, a minister and current member of the when human rights committee thinks that there isn't that there of done yes. today, in the see that yaki communion, that this is an up within the actually tell me i have to be

protected. i don't think that on a line that too much internationally it warms the issue of done has been already there. things added becomes very sensitive to be given the chance to try to sit together know how the united states is this for me that would lead to more, i'm going to really do much on the, in the find the solution for the situation with that that the u. s. yeah. western thing, sudan, blue sudan and south sudan and to problems it also, you know, divisions as an order to national bose is not ah, washington is player vitaly idea chang ornaments. they also told us what happened

till i wouldn't be allowed on to the flight. i asked for the reasons, but his, when russians are allowed to fly, and actually i must a few of them documents. my documents were even sent to warsaw examined there for you guys. i have to sign it to the tournament as confirmation, but they won't. last polish, our lines told us they were within their right citizen of the russian federation, on its flight, acting in accordance with the reg, temporary suspension or restriction of border traffic at certain, but an airport crossings for citizens, old, the russian federation. tro commanded, allowing russian competitors to take part under a neutral fly against insisted that russian ant bella, russian are thieves must not be permitted to boycott the 2024 olympics if russians and bella, russian, she still faces discrimination abroad. yes, mrs. thompson, i tried to explain to lufthansa manager that i hadn't got it and i couldn't fly to france only to spain this petition. going to listen to me. he said you can only fly to spain van, do what's owed fresh,

and passport. this is despite the fact that i'm competing with out of and i now deleted 20, alongside a quote from a to ron at municipality official and an a power and people in the us city of portland ortiz. if gilani brings is not this time, you know, wanted leisure, the realities in the us and, and now do sleeping on the street. the photo was captured with a quote from a to run. v away was clearly attempting a smear campaign against one venus or in the west city of portland. now this hideous goose has turned into m pays against iran. was he that over the course of the nation wide protest in iran that followed the death of massa? i'm edi, back in mid september last year. american media exaggerated the on rest in iran portraying the country as a war zone. and just recently, b, b. c, air, the distorted version of iran supreme leader. i had to la almeni's session with students trying to sell the audience an image of an unrest into session. but so it was just about a student interrupting the leaders speech on starting to criticize the government.

so what's clear is that the mainstream media is do not tolerate opposing voices and try to maintain their monopoly over news coverage. sometimes they do this by spreading fake news, and sometimes they resort to censorship. taking down the social media council, the networks that challenge their narratives, or taking them off here to pull the plug on them once for all, all while the way that they are the fly beers of free speech. isis icons as talks have been held between presidents champagne and slant him as the landscape of fest since the conflicts began on c corresponded more. garcia has more on the story leak way has been appointed to have this delegation that will travel to key f and potentially try to work out how to push forward the chinese piece plan for the ukranian conflict. this is, this appointment was announced after a telephone conversation between like mid zalinski and the chinese leader. she,

jim ping in which she, jim ping, said that the, you know, as a responsible, permanent member of the un security council. that is china's responsibility. not a watch. this inferno unfold to poor oil on this conflict between russia, ukraine, or even proffer tear over it. he said that china's responsibility is to push forward a peaceful negotiation or peace plan to resolve and end the bloodshed. he said that the only way this conflicts is going to enter is through peaceful negotiations. further, he said the china is open no matter how events unfold at 2 mutually beneficial corporation with you crate. all of this, of course, after ukraine had multiple times said that there will be no peace negotiations until russia leaves all territory that ukraine claims as its own. and that is including crimea, something that marcia said we'll never, ever happen, which you know, doesn't bode well for any potential p stokes. but there is china. it is now sending

a delegation again, headed by such a high profile officials as the former ambassador to russia, to try and work on areas where russia and ukraine could agree. nevertheless, it is. it is worth mentioning that ukraine had previously spoken badly of the chinese piece plan after emanuel macro on the french president travelled to china, met with the leader of china. and he said that he welcome china's piece plan only to hear from the head of ukraine's streaming powerful national security and defense council that french president demand. you're not going to give away bordeaux, for example, a major city in france if you wanted to talk about behind ukraine's back about giving away ukrainian territory. referring of course, to crimea saying that any potential piece plan could only be between ukraine or with the involvement of ukraine, that it wouldn't accept any negotiations behind its back a game of

past the past. so that's how the bank of england chief economists describe the current state of the u. k. market stating, but not everyone is ready to carry the burden of rising costs. in the u. k, someone needs to accept that they're worse off and stop trying to maintain their real spending power by bidding up prices with a high wages or passing the energy costs through on to customers. instead, people try and pass that cost onto one of our compatriots saying will be all right, but they will have to take our share to the past the parcel game that's going on here. that game is generating inflation and that part of inflation can persist. the economists warning has come of large corporations in the u. k, such as pepsico and mcdonald's report to increased revenue to higher prices. however, you pay trade union say, this is nothing more than pure greed. i think that corporations, all the ones driving up inflation as they raise price is beyond reasonable cost. in

the meantime, ordinary u. k. households have come under pressure as pointers for groceries have saw that the highest, the annual rate in 46 years. u. k. union say these are just some of the reasons why more than a 100000 civil service work is trying to go on strike on april 28th. well let's discuss this with josie broad, vice chair of the communist party of great britain joining us from bristol. many thanks for joining us today is good to see you. i'd like to ask what you make of these warnings made by mister pill. is this really a game of past the pulse post apostle? i think actually mister pill has a summed up the class war very neatly. you know, what he's saying is the workers should understand it's their job to bear the brunt of the crisis. although the crisis was not have been making because the important thing, the paramount thing is that the profits of the capitalist should remain high. and the reality is a, it's not work as wages which cause infection. it's actually,

it's money printing and all kinds of things at the hapless have been doing which of course inflation, what higher wages high are not high i o wages do is reduce what's there for the capitalist to take his profit. and that's the, the proportion changes inversely. so the more that goes to work is in wages, the less that goes to capitalism, profit, and what the mr pill at the bank of england is saying, we need to keep our profits high. so you guys have to accept constantly decreasing wages. and i tried unions of a case by corporations of quoting gree deflation, is that a word is certainly there is an aspect of the crisis which is to do with proud price gouging which monopolies engage in because they can fix the market. they do everything they can to do that. fundamentally, you know, the problem is capitalism. and why is that the big corporations i can they continue to get rich a while ordinary household are facing both they just cannot afford is that no limit

to shareholder profits and great? absolutely not. no, that's the nature of capital. capital goes for the highest corporate it possibly can. and the thing about the monopoly corporations is they control the government and that means they really control the treasury. so what we see a lot of is in order to keep the profits boosted from that, for the monopolies, we are giving them public subsidies constantly. if you look on the ukraine, it's a limitless subsidy to the monopolies. look at the energy price cap. it's a limitless subsidy to the energy companies. so every way you look, there are monopolies who are being subsidized, so that their profit state high. in the meantime, the work is being told we can't afford to give you a payroll. is this like some prices in the u. k? i've often been blamed on moscow. in your opinion, is russia really responsible all the other factors that play here? it's possible thing to stacy's next. what is clear is when british and american

imperialism tried to use their financial muscle to crush russia, they wanted to bring about regime change in russia by using these economic weapons . they thought they would suffer a few weeks, short term game. and then russia would fall, and they would have a orgy of looting of russia resources that would pay them back in multiple times over for the short term pain. it didn't work out like that. russia hasn't collapse and their school, the sanctions that they've put on russia, absolutely boomerang done to our economy. and yes, it is one of the factors that leading to the inflation, it's totally self imposed, and it could be ended tomorrow. correct me if i'm wrong, but i understand the more than $100000.00 duty nice civil service work in the year . kevin say we'll go on strike. what consequences will that have on the country? i guess we'll have to wait and see. it's very hard to know in advance what one hopes is that they're really prepared to have

a strike that keeps going and does have a huge impact. because of course, the media and the politicians will constantly harass work. but if you go and strike, it's inconvenient to other workers and they won't be able to get their benefits so they won't be able to get to the, you know, to the shop. so they won't be able to access the health care or whatever it might be. but of course the reality is that if the people who work to provide services on paper play an on resource properly, they can't deliver a decent service to us. so it's an all of our interests that wages should be best condition should be better in the public service and everybody's wages across the board are clearly fully so far behind inflation that people just come, come survive on it. thanks so much for speaking to us. this evening really appreciate your time, gertie brown, vice chair of the communist party of great britain and bristol, thank you. thank you. the now is the meeting a brit kentucky farm. it says on the middle east on north africa, wraps up in cape town. ortiz africa correspondence spoke with some of the participants. a week is a long time in politics, and

a couple of hours with just this long. but the current bricks, chair, south africa, just of the president to load. i'm opposed or made an announcement that the country will quit. it's international criminal court membership, as well as it's rollman the statute, his spokesperson issued a statement retracting that very single statement, leaving not only the country but fellow briggs partners in disarray and clarity. has since become the order of the day this weekend to we are coming from the national executive committee of the amc. we have to be there to probably just the tune for 4 days. and in that meeting they have taken that decision. so the president has been communicate to that decision of the party. so it is not that to the close then to is the chatting. anything because it still have to call to government and see to it. what is it that supposed to happen?

remember, we had paid it up in 2016 and our pipe in 2017 took our resolution, and it's conference about that particular mental. and thinking provision is also the mandate of the brakes. a deputy foreign affairs minister, and a special envoys into the middle east. the middle east has for decades been at the mercy and interest of western influence, and beset by conflict that wasn't necessarily of its own making. but now these devotee foreign affairs ministers into the region. faith. this is why breaks is the vehicle to bring about peace and stability into the middle east. as these matters for around each of our countries. and especially we together can do a lot to regulate conflicts and crisis situations in the middle east and northern africa. in particular, we emphasize the success of our chinese friends who have done

a lot to bring saudi arabia and iran closer. this is a major breakthrough. also, our efforts were noted in regards to syrian turkey. and naturally we did our part to bring saudi arabia neuron closer. of course, we've done a lot to bring closer the positions of the parties of the syrian conflict as a part of the asked in the process to solve problems serious currently facing. regarding yemen, and we've also had a lot of meetings with various yamini powers, as well as with saudi representatives. but russia has a lot on its plate. not only does it have to contend with the might and force of the g 7 countries and nato in the conflict in ukraine. it is also being accused by, with the media of being a div stabilizing influence in the conflict. and so debt broke of whom associate, however, is the opposite. traditional we have had friendly relations with sudan and the sudanese people with various political powers of sudan and its military authorities . we've had militaristic, logical cooperation with the army and with the iris f. in january. our minister

loughborough visited heart to me and i got to assist him during that visit. we had very good context meetings and discussions with a foreign minister, as well as with the military authorities, which always spoken in favor of the national consensus and cooperation between various sit in his powers, military and civil. once south africa will hose the bricks, heads of state salads in august this year, and among the expected attendees will be one vladimir putin, the president of the russian federation. and the man with an international criminal court arrest warrant on his hate. so if he attending or not running, immune se plans have not changed. i think this matter will be discussed in the nearest future. a meeting of foreign ministers is bland and context on the highest level are taking place. we initially believed that icy c activities destructive and imbued with hypocrisy at some point, withdrew our signatures. of course, every one decides for themselves,

but many especially african countries realize that there is a tool of brute pressure and blackmail from the west and the u. s. the u. s. does not recognize dicey, but still drugs every one to the hague. this is completely unacceptable. i think many, our friends and partners in africa understand that they are just over 3 months to go until that fateful summit in august. if a week is a long time in politics than what of 30 months got, i will as i have a lot of tea in cape town, according to political analyst, sanusi 90 south africa. as i see see, membership has been a long time coming. i think the, the contentious nature of the i see has always been an important point within the south african context. i mean, it doesn't just come now. it's been a big issue. i think not only post that africa, but other countries in the continent as well, where they feel that there's a sense of a disproportionate nature of the i c. c. i think it's a more,

more global debate about the institutional architecture of the i see the application of the agency and trying to find that equality would be integral in the context of the mandate of the i c c. and i think to a large extent, this is where it's not just about africa, it's not just about what's going to happen at the brick summit. it's not just about the fact that there's been a, a miscommunication between the any see and the, and the president in terms of the a and c meeting. i think it's a much bigger existential question that needs to be raised in the context of reform and transformation of the global system and the institute for architecture. many thanks for your company here in our tea and to national as always. plenty more to be found on our website on t dot com. we'll be back with the latest at the top with

ah, with ah, [000:00:00;00]

with hello and welcome to cross talk. what are all things are considered? i'm peter lavelle. what truly motivates nato? is it strategic interests in geopolitical positioning? or is it ideology and a pathological hatred of russia?
