and you look at both they do. there's a big, big difference between what they say and what they do. what they do is they'll only hutchings on it, is that this is also in the viewing enchiladas into the fast um, but also below i time has access to technology and disrupting the goodwin supply banning changes even told in other countries as a correct to damage. they were so obviously in this context, it's very difficult for china to establish based i have no relationship with them because it's as if someone is going to step through with the back and wanting to still hold hands with you and be friends with you. i mean, this is, is really a new car depot, take it and have it was at the same time. and that's what the united states and is a western allies are trying to do. argentina is vice president

christina kits or has criticize the international monetary funds, economic proposals, alleging that the program agreed with the organization is damaging argentina's economy to see the if we the audience genie and people do not manage to set aside the program that the international monetary fund imposes on what status and to develop our implant for gross industrialization on technological innovation. it will be impossible to pay for no matter what they say. it was a political loan and the solution should also be political. argentinian authorities are seeking in advance of over $10000000000.00 in the coming months to reinforce the central banks reserves ahead of the upcoming october elections. the country's dealings with the i am ass have been marked by instability with the nation locked in a 57000000000 dollar agreement with the organization since 2018. when

a former leader modi's, you'll mark the signed a deal to help alleviate a crisis. however, the program failed, resulting in a refinancing deal last year to address an outstanding $44000000000.00 debt. we spoke to who we are going to be not an economist from the foundation for social and political research. who says the i am asked, doesn't serve the interest of developing states, say, oh yes, there is no doubt. the international monetary fund gen really works with dependent backward countries. there is no assistance from them on 3 fund to develop dominant or hedge. a monic capitalist countries and all of the policies of the map, historically home, the peoples of the governments at the signing agreements for the international organization. let's say that dom onto funds in the world bank created in 1945 under you as donation have shown in their history that they only serve to defend the

interests of trans national capital. and today, at the time of decline in the us policy of due to a ration of the head german, a crawl of to tool a. all of it shows the inevitably serves the interests of the capital and contributes absolutely nothing to the peoples of the world, especially the people. suff, impoverished and adept as countries. as in the case of fudge in tina, the e. u is more important for cuba. it's frayed that other partners like russia and china, that was the boast from e u. foreign policy chief joseph bureau during his visit to havana. that's the spike criticism from n g o's, claiming the eu has been supporting longstanding us sanctions imposed on the caribbean island. the slow, the remaining bit of sorting the european union is believed an investor in cuba, who invests the most include, but the european union, despite all limitations of the restrictive measures of the embargo,

which does not makes things exactly easy. despite that, europe is the 1st investor on this island, where the 1st commercial partner were represent a 3rd part of its 4 and trade. we can look at those from the employers or expert side, but it is clear that we're a much more important than all the actors such as russia or china. several european n g o is have urge burrell to clarify his stance on the american sanctions against cuba and mediate the lifting of the blockade, which has been widely criticized by the u. n. n. global human rights watch dogs. the blockade intensified through stream levels and research and the development capacity of cubans, while significantly affecting cuban families, particularly the most vulnerable groups such as women, children, the elderly and sick. we trust that as a result of the joint council, the silver and self determination of cuba will be supported the exclusion of cuba from the lease of state sponsors of terrorism and the leasing of the unconditional

blockade. meanwhile, russia secured a major economic deal with havana just weeks ago. several agreements were reached covering national currency exchange, a unified pair of system, as well as russian investment projects on the island, cuba and been as well. a solitary committee coordinator of gloria la riva says burrell statement is misleading. as russia actively helps cubans development, while the youth serves washington's interest or joseph morales statement about the you being more important to cuba, that rush at china. i have to laugh at that because it's obvious that the you continues to being the carrying the water for the united states and nato. and it's in fact the, if you, the top you prosecute for it gets frustrated with this terrible sections. and in addition, the you european union has done very little to really add weight to this because it

stands against the blockade of united states against cuba. russians relationship with cuba has steadily increased in a positive manner. and in these last years, russia has been very helpful. russia is going to open large stores where people can buy food and other household goods in, in cuban currency. everyone knows, the cube is the victim of us terrorism, causing more than 3400 lives of the cuban people in 60 years. meanwhile, many middle eastern countries are taking their destiny into their own hands, restoring relations and overcoming challenges. fazel, all of us editor and chief of re add based era new spoke to option or times the on the latest episode of going underground about the latest regional developments. you

can watch the full episodes later today in the meantime. here's a quick preview. i want to ask you the most of our muses, the voice of a changing region. i don't know when was that there before you started it or view that that was my fingerprint on, on the front page. and it surprise even you, because you seem to be is if this was all in the pipeline, we knew things were changing. for example, at that time to talk about the woman driving the curbing the powers of the rid of just police, which is phenomenon. we just had, i honestly say that we, nobody had any idea how massive the changes are going to be when you talk about the aging brokerage. so the around the deal, i don't think anybody in their wildest imagination would have imagined both that this would happen. but also this would happen this quickly, but that's at this to many for chinese, the efficiency. i cannot see how this harm's western interest in the country. everybody has an interest in a stable, middle east. everybody has an interest in safe passage of all your shipments

through the gulf, through the red sea. everybody has an interest in, you know, curbing or a tackling, etc, to groups or advocating them obviously. yeah. the most important story in nature, they should meet who is the g 7 in their ocean. but i think does that mean this region and i'll give you the, in the whole global south, it was the are, it will be having some of it in a jetta. and how important was that summit? the us appeared to condemn it for allowing syria to rejoin at the back story is there was an arab summit with arab leaders who have distinctly different points of view about the return of the shuttle. i said to the arab league, you know, if you have, for example, on one end, the united there been there, it's, and you have on the other end, a caught who was tricky, oppose it was strict vehicles, but the indicator here is, or what is important is the out of leak given the new dynamic leadership in the region, has found a way to create a consensus. and this is a very promising

a signal for the future of the automatic. what it is important to you, it is, this is a condition of return to the, at a league. and the number one condition is creating a better environment for the return of cdns, which is obviously very good for syrians themselves. but if you think about the refugee crisis in, in europe and around the world, if people stop and think about that, this is actually very good for the hold with. that's a right for now and coming up next is going underground. thanks for turning in. they close the public sentence and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show search like why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do they have the state department c. i a weapons makers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you,

go ahead, change and whatever you do. don't want my shell stay main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching. but again, it's not. we don't want to watch it because it might just change the way you the time action redundancy and welcome back to going under ground bro goes to go around the world for to buy in the u. a. within the past few weeks, the middle east has witnessed a flurry of major diplomatic moves by side. the arabian re ads break through china media to deal restore diplomatic relations with iran that was quickly followed with a normalization of dies. it's silvia culminating and syrian president bush or our last side attending, as well as our bleak summit since 2010 in libya. joining me here in the studio to

discuss how the rapist driving diplomacy is based on the bus, the editor in chief of the re add bass are use, and member of the editorial board of our a be a news channel. thank you so much, rachel, for coming on. obviously, the most important story and nature of nation we do is the g 7 to narrow as you might. but i think does that mean this region and i'll give you the in the whole global south, it was the, our leak leaks. somebody's in a jetta. how important was that summit the us appeared to condemn it for allowing syria to rejoined an attend. oh, i agree with you perfectly about the importance of, of the summit and what was more important wasn't the actual attendance of the shuttle. i said, but many people are not seeing the back story here. at the back story is there was an arab summit with arab leaders who have distinctly different points of view about the return of the charlotte said to the arab league. you know, if you have, for example, on one end, the united arab emirates and you have on the other end,

a caught who is tricky, a post list or examples. but the indicator here is, or what is important is the out of leak given the new dynamic leadership in the region has found a way to create a consensus. and this is a very promising a signal for the future of the big itself. think of all the kind of unsolved and result conflicts and issues that, that we've had with regards to your comment about the us not being very happy about a said return. i fully understand america has its own interest that it needs to protect in invite the problematic the no, no, no the people who say with the never know business for no, i mean they, they do have interest and they have security interest that they need to, to protect, but we also need to take this in context, which is very important. this isn't a making up with, with a set per se, what has been communicated since the story started leaking. and, and, and, and prevailing is that this is being done to create better conditions for the

cereal people as you know very well if she insanity is trying to do the same thing and expecting a different result. now i can go on and on about, for example, if i want to tell you what, why is uh, why did see to keep it seem to be, uh you and i mean, you can start from there if you were the western country. um, but what is important to you is this is the condition and return to the at a league and the number one condition is creating a better environment for the return of cdns, which is obviously very good for syrians themselves. but if you think about the refugee crisis in, in europe and around the world, if people stop and think about that, this is actually very good for the hold worked. yeah, but you can imagine being in washington or london, they're given to the united states. okie buys a 3rd of syria and the oil fields and is accused of stealing the oil. and there is roger eliza who wants to claim parts of his country back. um, there's does seem to be some type of level of negotiation at some kind of level even between us and the other one. i don't know what's going to happen on that

result. the ad tomorrow. i mean, sort of that obviously is going to menu inside of the arabian, that it was going to incur the wrath of washington. what so many things did incur the rest of, of, of washington. but it's a lot of things that's what's been going these, including the united states, have done, have upset associated, you know, i'm not for a moment. is suggesting that, you know, there's a break in the traditional alliance between the 2 countries. but there is very, a harsh differences of opinion, for example, a few days into the by didn't administration of the civilian airports in saudi arabia. we're being deliberately targeted by, by the whole, these, the whole of the, by the administration remove the hostings from the that are list that are, is this, then, you know, people are watching the, so show, need to think about it this way. how would you as an american feel if j s. k was being bombed by a terrorist group in canada or mexico. and then an arab country,

or most of the country, is very reluctant to call it that, that, or is that that, or has the power to keep the monitors list and remove them off, whatever it is. so that, do you think that was the, by the ministration blinking and so on. actually saying, saudi arabia, you play ball and do what we say in your region, or we don't care, we'll even work with the we work with anyone to hurt you. i, i honestly don't think it was that malicious american officials that i spoke to during this period of o. c. i agree that it was an.
