i'm not a 100 percent agreeing with the i. i think that the, the human aspect so was, are the most important in the other nations, even before the 46 this weekend. so at least 12 artillery shelves fired by you, cranium forces at the ball garad region in western russia. that's according to the local mirror, a residential bill that was hit in the town of should backing up, which sits on the border. the house caught fire with windows being shattered by the strikes. currently over 60000 people are being evacuated to centers all across the ball. garad region are to shape votes, reports from one of the refugee shelters. i'm here in belgrade, on one of the assistance points for the displace people who have come from the surrounding villages that were recently attacked by ukrainian artillery and incursions by infiltration groups. as you can see, there are literally hundreds of people, thousands have sought refuge here in belgrade. it's

a huge amount of terry in operation. people are getting psychological health food at the absolutely necessities for human existence. and it's only what something like this occurs and you see the scale of the impact of these attacks by the ukrainian ministry on water essentially civilian targets. we've spoken to the mirror and he's outlined the size and the scale of the assistance that people are getting. i'm also, i'm, although there were 3 large centers for the initial placement to residents from cubic and during the 1st day alone we received accommodated and provided with food and medicine around 3 and a half 1000 people. however, many of them had obviously left the residential area without packing their personal belongings. so they were also in need of clothes and some hygiene essentials for that. for similar distribution points have been set up in the city, which to mandatory and aid supplied from all over the country. on behalf of the governor, we had been preparing in advance for various emergency scenarios. so we were able

to deploy everything very quickly. while i'm here at the at belgrade sports center, one of several that is currently housing displaced people this from the ship back in a region, a region recently attacked by ukraine. we've seen an immense effort here to provide care and assistance to a huge range of people from very elderly, sick to young babies, children, pregnant women, an entire families. there's about 200 people here in the center. some people have decided that they will not return to shit back, you know, and are getting re house in other regions in areas. this is a cynical assault on civilians targeted civilians and this led to huge displacement of 10000 people. at least we know here in the belgrade region, i'm joined by the voice mer of belgrade region, who's very kindly agreed to talk to us about the situation in the city right now.

they've received a lot of displaced people from, from the surrounding regions which have suffered a tax is about $200.00 people in this center alone. the alexander, thanks very much for talking to us. how many people altogether has belgrade received us displays people? what's the total of the proceeding due to a total of the past week? about 10000 default fellow countryman from cubic you know, has the boss with temporary accommodation facilities. this indeed, a unique situation in belgrade with a large role into movement in which medical students, including foreign ones, are actively participating that. so we're here at the university of belgrade, where the students, local doctors and doctors from the region have come to assist. the people who have been displaced from should beckoned on the surrounding villages. it's an incredible effort their mobile clinics, and it must be said that the work of the students here who are even spending their own money, their own time to come and help their fellow citizens and the people that they've

never met before. it's really a remarkable thing to witness. the situation is horrible. it's through our students are very kind and they always like here to help people and it's not true or somebody say that they are evil or lazy. some of those we have a shower, refrigerator, t, v, iron, kettle, everything, the food is great. i think there is no panic here. everything has been organized very well in such a short space of time. volunteers bring food to the rooms. the girls, the students collect money for 8 as they ask what people need and then buy the products. there's also still a bright side to the story if you like. when facilities like these mobile units are brought into play. all the medical care is being met. and new to me is a small one, is that people have been evacuated here are clearly in need of help. long

conversations and consolation so many doctors are here working also as psychotherapists about the human side of this conflict showing is true that people want peace. they want to see people left in peace and truly that's what we should be talking about. but unfortunately in the western media piece is not even mentioned anymore. i suppose it's the mosque slips. now, as we see, towns like sheet back, you know, in belgrade b indiscriminately attacked with nato supplied weapons, specifically targeting civilians. the same behavior that has been denied by ukrainian military and their nato, a sponsors for 10 years and, and don't ask in, in the east of ukraine. the, the most powerful hacker m hire. that's how beijing has labeled the u. s. accusing washington of slander, the latest war of words follows western media reports alleging the china plans

designed a secret deal was to back to set up a spice station on the island. i'm a tree dog, remote mongering and sloan to is a common trick for the united states. it only wants in interference in the internal affairs of other countries, is it paid on to the united states. the united states is also the most powerful have to empire in the world and a veritable surveillance power. united states is a legally okey party. one kind of move by naval base in cuba for a long time engaged to initiate the activities and imposed a blockade against cuba to more than 60 years. in the news outlets quoted, anonymous us officials with the newer types cleaning china has run intelligence operations into buses. 2019 china is global times strict to twitter to accuse the western media of spreading this information. totally some mysteries and known official spreading rumors that can be verified. there is no need for china to

spend billions of dollars on this, and it seems more reasonable to use the money to investigate u. s. military bases in the asia pacific region ages drop in worldwide builds in military base just now trying to tear tre and conducting close recognizance of china coast. that's what us has been doing to try now. with havana saying the u. s . allegations could lead to a tightening of sanctions against cuba, political analysts and blogger alex reporter, fee, as the u. s. as seeking to damage the chinese high tech sector, they come up with these, the allegations they throwed out there the see if it's going to work. they see if it will damage business. i mean, they did a lot of damage to huawei and i think, you know, once again, they might be using this for an alternative mode of here that to me we may see something, maybe a of sanctions come down on some more high tech companies uh, from china, for sure. if you look at the americans, they have a yearly budget of $300000000.00 to offset china and they use it with, you know,

a lot of, uh, anti rhetoric uh pieces that continually go out. we can never, uh, you know, pinpoint who is getting a part of that fund. now that money flows into the system. how many of these media outlets are putting their hands in the pie and taking it and coming up with, you know, such, you know, slanderous allegations. it's incredible. but, you know, diplomacy usually is the one that com, everything down in this situation. but unfortunately, the us credits for diplomacy of run out. will there be any backlash against the media? probably not. absolutely not because they are on to their next story already. what that will be. i'm sure it will be something outland is just like this one. under as has opened the nbc in china months after suffering relations with taiwan in favor of ties with beijing, the 100 and foreign minister and his chinese counterpart took part in the and

organization of the embassy sunday morning as just days earlier on during president . again, her 1st 6 day visit since re establishing diplomatic relations between the nations back in march and their current diplomatic ties with taiwan and recognize the island as an integral part of china. the switch brought the number of countries that officially recognized taiwan down to 1300 and president also met with the president of the briggs, new development bank and shanghai. according to an official statement, the country also filed an application to join the institution. the main task of the bank is to finance infrastructure and sustainable development projects and brooks and developing countries. 0 further in depth on this. let's cross live now to asia, political risk. analysts ross find gold. ross has grapes have you on the program today. now, how significant would you say the reproach meant between hundreds and china is and

what does this mean for the 2 nations moving forward? frankly, might be more significant for china event for taiwan and gave china a presence in an additional country in central america. obviously close by to the united states. so that's going to be a concern to united states policy makers. it'll present some business opportunities for chinese companies typically. and i think we'll see this in the coming hours or days. they'll be some announcements about infrastructure deals or through a buy china. and that's going to result in contracts for chinese companies that taiwan it's, it's a disappointment when this happens. so it's a bit of a loss, a prestige. it certainly hurts their claim that the taiwan or the republic of china as formerly known as a sovereign country. but on the other hand, these relationships very frankly, are draining on taiwan resources. and i, in my own opinion,

taiwan has better ways to spend these resources that try to maintain these relationships with small, far away countries that are not important trade or security partners for taiwan. the speaking of that disappointment, let's get into that a little bit because as we noted under as completely separate it's ties with tie one in favor of china. so what do you think is causing this apparent trend, given that taiwan has now lost its 9th diplomatic partnership in china, works very hard at persuading the remaining countries that still have diplomatic relations here to make that switch so that that's very awesome financial incentives and sometimes it's also related to activities that multilateral institutions, as you mentioned in your report, such as the brakes back, in some cases it's important with, with regard to the institutions within the united nation system. so. so for example, here we use a country that still has diplomatic relations with taiwan and sometimes that,

that becomes a hindrance when he needs united nations assistance. keeping in mind that china is one of the permanent members of the security council. frankly, i would expect katie to be a likely country or make a switch in the coming months or years because they do need to be trying to support in the united nations. so there, there's a variety of factors that play a frankly, i think one of the reasons we didn't see more of this in the last few years was because of the pandemic. and typically when the switches are made, as we've seen this week, the leader of the country visit china, there's a lot of ceremonies. there's a lot of signing of agreements and the rest of the pandemic that didn't happen. but as we get closer to an election, taiwan, which has to occur next january with the end of pandemic travel restrictions, we see it right. we see on doors. and again, it wouldn't surprise anyone if there's another one or 2 in the 2nd half of this year. now that's notable and when it comes to where 100 stands and all of this,

their officials have also expressed a desire to join the bricks, development bank outings of a number of other countries seeking partnerships with the blog. now in your opinion, is the world heading towards multi polarity as a whole. and you see this trend continuing and certainly and, and whether that's in bilateral relationships or multi lateral institutions. whether that's the bridge bank or the bridge, the job try high cooperation organization. it's not a surprise or some countries they don't like the western lead multi lateral institutions. they don't like the terms in which they have to participate. but to the response from the western countries to read those institutions, whether it's the united states or some of the european countries will say that, you know, it's, it's for the benefit of all. and we are, we might have certain restrictions or concerns about human rights and other issues when we made multi lateral laws for example. but we think our way is better. that's a battle that we'll see russia or china and united states and its allies in western

europe. fighting for years to come and when it comes to countries thinking that their way is the best way. how do you think that the news of the latest relations between hundreds and china are going to be received in washington? do expect to hear anything from the united states on this one, and they'll probably be a lot of warnings. they'll say it's bad for you. hon doors, just like united states, warns african countries or other countries in the developing world about having to closer relationships with china. and another kind of battle ground for that in recent years has been in the pacific ocean, the pacific island countries for the solomon islands in the news. a lot to this very reason. but it's, it's up to the united states and its partners to make that case. and in the curtis is in that we often hear from these countries is either you're, you're getting the terms, you're just never here on the ground. so it really is up to the us to make our case

. and you know, i'm speaking as an american, and i would say whoever my president is at the moment is present, invited. you gotta, you gotta have your team work a lot harder and introduce these countries that they're there, they're correct, or a better partner with the united states and the western allies. certainly a lot of moving parts there, but we appreciate you joining us to break it all down. asia political risk analysts ross find cold. thanks so much for your time and analysis. here the former president donald trump has insisted the us should not buy oil from venezuela even suggesting taking it by force instead about with buying oil for venezuela. when i left that as well, it was ready to collapse. we would have take it over, we would have gotten all that away or would have been right next door. but now we're buying oil from venezuela, so we're making a dictator very rich. can you believe this? nobody can believe it. back in 2019, venezuela was overwhelmed by protests for the speaker of the parliament. one guy

though declaring himself and term president of the country. his candidacy was supported by then president trump, who claims that president ventura's position was illegitimate and that venezuela's were demanding freedom and the rule of law. but the us appeared to be more focused on the countries oil resources and funding alleged democratic freedoms. the u. s. has been accused of seizing oil from countries where it has conducted military operations of warmer rocky president said that $150000000000.00 worth of oil money had been stolen from the middle eastern country to visit us and dated 2 decades ago. syrian officials claimed loss august fed up to 80 percent of the countries oil production was being plundered on a daily basis. trump has openly said multiple times that the us has been taking oil from syria, but we are leaving soldiers to secure the us. now we may have to fight for the oil

. that's okay, but we keep in the oil. remember that i've always said that keep the oil. we want to keep the oil $45000000.00 a month. the, we're keeping the oil, we have the oil, the oil is secure. we left troops behind only for the oil. we did leave. so just because what do you think the oil weight, security oil, other than that there's no reason for it in our opinion, and we've secured the oil and therefore a small number of us troops will remain in the area where they have the oil. martin j editor of the grubby dog or news outlets says the u. s. as now after it's next target. this is the city of u. s. foreign policy. you know enough to look back to the eighty's, even the seventy's. and if you look at just about every single intervention americans, don't you know where you mention syria, iraq, libya, most americans, presidents, so that way they may not be quite so,

but it is. i'm clumsy. when talking about oil, i don't think we should, we should make a mistake that is under the republicans. i think a little presents look at, look around the world and see where they can send troops and creates these security situations whereby they americans present themselves a saving the situation. and part of the deal is to cool us, go for the energy countries. you would just, it was a record report about in candle and uganda is now a real if you're present with mrs. a right now, you must be really worried that you are sitting on 12 trillion dollars worth of gold. and the americans are now starting to make the river in austin, very aggressive comments. the relations between on coronado jobs are continuing to approve. as the president of the u. 8 e visited his turkish counterparts telling their strengthening ties. we discuss ways to further strengthen economic cooperation and the strategic partnership

between the 2 nations and ways to promote regional stability towards the prosperous future. for all the high level meeting is the 1st and nearly a decade. and it comes on the hills of president airlines, recent re election. both leaders expressed hope for increasing future tides, the tox, adding a visual spam to the signing of a comprehensive economic partnership agreement this year, which also marketing 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the 2 nations . a warming relations between on current and auto dobby, are yet another example of approach mints across the middle east. there was serious recent return to the era bly and saudi arabia under wrong have also renew ties. after decades of hostilities, we spoke to an international relations specialist earlier for says, the trend may, where a certain western players most probably the western countries, especially united states of america, is not happy. that original countries are not competing that corporate corporate.

of course, they're not going to announce that the mother, the, the process is modeling good luck most strongly. they really, you know, that they have some kind of finger that they can post, been in a, in a, in a field such as need be a, such a seizure such as is military. and they can, you know, create the kind of the original, but also power by to getting close by, you know, supporting some countries against other it could be in, in, in syria. it could be in libya, it could be in human, you know, it, it could be also yes for the. it has almost evidence that with some countries on not totally controlling the agent. they are not the time learning. and the policies of the regional powers, some of the leg by lead to the relations in the me that list are not defined or

directed by the west or by the united states of america. so this is the new course of function in the region, and t, t and the united sort of companies are likely to corporate more in the future. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our team. cons all of the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. the hello, i'm manila chad. you're tuned into modus operandi in turkey, a close call for incumbent president rachel early, one narrowly beating out the opposition. today. we'll delve into what this means for turkey. it's nato partners, and the expansion of ties to the east. all right, let's get into the m. o the,

the made presidential elections for turkey went to a run off between the incumbent reach of tire, or the one and opposition leaders come all coached a role. lou, some 64000000 eligible voters took to the poles 1st on may 18th in beacon compulsory general elections from the field of 3 at that time the incumbent faced off with tillage, the rolls of the c h p, and sent on all on from the a t a party now all on came in 3rd and then through his support behind earl juan and his a k party following his defeat in the general. however, neither or the one nor kill extra roland walked away with 50 percent of the vote. so it went to a run off between the 2 men on may 28th. now a lot hung in the balance with the turkish elections that went well beyond their borders. the question and the countries participation and organizations like nato or the you all came into play with the countries. ongoing economic was the burden

of migrants flowing through the borders and conflicts in neighboring states. turkish citizens made their choice. in the end, rachel or the one defeated his challenger winning the seat by just under 5 percentage points. now that was 52.18 percent of the votes for joining us to discuss what this means for turkey are and the rest of the world is professor of political science and international relations at multiple university doctor has done, you know, you can follow the professor on his twitter at house on, you know, 1920 professor. thank you for joining us now. dr. well, no president rachel type or the one has won his 3rd term in office recently, but only by a narrow margin. threw a run off between him and come out 2 extra roll. first. did this come as a surprise to turkish citizens and why was that boat so close as well the,

the turkish elections are bit tied to it because the contest it's uh, the fact that the election this time was so close, indeed, neck and neck wasn't necessarily terribly surprising to close up joggers for instance, i never at fault because they start all over when you knocked on the fact last year this time i share the thread on my twitter site um you know, a binding why she could when i'm and so the results uh simply confirmed what i had said earlier, and then, you know, on the, on the, there may be several ways of looking at it. you know, if you look at it from monday and come back and say, well the, you know, the color start on the page, click on the old most hospitable. so does that mean somebody like him a is going to win in the next elections?

well then that may be one way of looking at it, but there may be another way of looking at it, for instance. um, yeah, i would say that this was the pine, the most puppy. shes time for any opposition leader to win the elections. basically, you know, in that let's, let's light on because of tool. you'll have a situation in which you have a incumbent president who's being drawn into the country for over 2 decades. terry pay or you know, tired and people show signs awareness of him the way she does things the way she talks to me about certain things and what have you. but, and, and on top of all that you have an extreme economy in crisis. now you have skyrocketing the food prices, your have the problems about the brands in particularly in metro polls

and, and despite old at date, he managed to win. so that is i think what we need to look at in depth now or the one that has been described at least by western media as something of a strong man leader or sometimes an extremist or even authoritarian. are those fair characterizations of him? and is that how he is viewed at home? well, according to their opponents, yes. and uh, but, and, you know, a large section of the population is, doesn't subscribe to that view. um eh, view the west and media and sort of uh, you know, put, say crush. uh, needs to be looked at very sign gums, photos since he was the darling of the west and was until some years ago. and when

he was doing the american bait in the city, when he was acting hand in glove with the matter cuz um about uh, coming out a quarter, the son of the middle east and about, you know, turning the country into some sore throat, some sort of federal state and both have you in those years and don't forget to you as the one who ordered the bringing down or the russian fight to reject. in 2015 in those years, she was starting the d. n a. the darling of the west. what happened and as a result of which basically the western media began to them. and i said, i think that is uh where be the wherever we should look at to understand what the problem is about. first is that were in this country for several years. i, j, you know, call spirit sees as

a result of which people are being present through dr. documents and what have you, people suffered, you know, what we are talking about large numbers of intellectuals and generals officers. and so many people have basically i languished in prisons, they were west and media, despite old dot eh. and despite the fact that there were signs that the, the sort of documents and evidence were all concoct up against these people. and the rest, the media was still sticking to add on and saying he was doing the right thing. because at the time he was imprisoning what we call in this country, the nationalists and the ration s. okay, so what the meat west, the media says about someone like came and should not be taken so seriously. so the good thing is, and in this country the onto matter condition is measured that's about 8 to 5 to 95

percent. and that for the, you know, the people don't get carried away, but by what they see in the west, the media. i see. so i guess then in recent years he's somewhat fallen out of favor with the us. i thought grace is pulling out of grace. yes. because, you know what happened was she tongue and against the american plans of carving out code, at least on and particularly in the case of the city, i am that he fell out of step with the americans. he wanted to get you the upside down. sorry he wanted to depos um, uh the city and did the how a l. i saw it. uh, but then the americans didn't follow it. what they wanted to do well though it was the americans who got in. that'd be great. and creating

a big mess in syria and all that. so basically, an indian, he came down to where he should be in the right at the beginning. okay. coming up next we'll explore turkey is vital role in the ongoing conflict in ukraine. we'll discuss it when we return with dr. hass on know. so type the m o will be right back the the the

.
