as a vice woodstock but not the basic needs in terms of the solar programs which we have seen receiving solving supply as well as those all pregnant and left to using women as well as the story obama's. we frontier you to read care and provide the assistance that he has been providing one so but for a whole code table view offer the issue here. the use of miss mccade, who is the executive director of the program for diversion is absolutely unacceptable. and we welcome to the government and we see your peers commitment to investigate and hold accountable those responsible. while we will temporarily hold food aid assistance in ethiopia nutritionist assess the children the pregnant and breast feeding women, school meals, programs, and activities for building the resilience of farmers and busta release will continue on. interrupt is retained every emphasizing what they are willing to do in the meantime before which is reached about only $11.00. this how long it will take

for this investigation to be the earliest to be on the way and how quickly it could be done with considering that the millions of life at stake is continue to depend on that. this appropriate lithium, yet based news on campus rights meloza says it's common for the west to use 8 as a political to on the time of the 80 to oh gosh, 5 number free to do 50 person. so you guys, i'll be a, i don't really meet your needs, the export from the, for an organization all the 8 organization, you know, piece is how strong the word for. busy and us is, it goes up be, they can see creation all the, you know, there's also these or drones for the past 2 years, the, the, to a best will the situation more x is the basis of buying that. this shooting by you

is a good word for providence. a is the name of the politics in all the with take a b, c. tracy with amazing a don't this whole past all of the political. i didn't know for you the policy and also the west and take different countries and different was countries become a this is to is the magic. so they have been government display the best, the least stop the ways these usually we for now i see that the all the services in order to in order to be, to can government all more baskets out. we can see this is the creation in this in i don't maybe don't know us lawmakers incense to punish south africa for its cooperation with russia. as, as the country propose to host the annual form between the us and sub saharan

countries. just same dots, improving multi level diplomatic and the business ties. decision stems from claims that but sorry, it was equally supplying off to russia, which the country denies this move. washington wants to stop due to free access to the us trade market for the country. now, despite the south africa assessing is mutual, stands and the conflicts and declared himself ready to be a mediator and host a peaceful between the warring sides. the nicest attempt to bring about peace thoughts is set to begin in week with a delegation, including the heads of zambia, egypt come ghost and the go on you've done to set to visit both he of and most of the african. but meanwhile, the check for minister is on a 5 day visit to an goal, and some via the movie. same does reducing cooperation between african states with russia and china, and restoring your pin influence on the confidence. definitely the russian invasion of ukraine was a wakeup coal, but it's never too late and will have to be present in africa. we have never left

africa, but now we need to pay more attention. definitely. for more on this, i'm joined in the studio by a 10 date and then they so not donna chapman of these, i'm being socialized. ok, thanks so much for joining us in the studio here on nazi. and now do you believe we are seeing a bit of an uptake in attention this being paid towards africa by both the west and russia? and if so, why? i think we've always had significant attention on africa by the west, russia and china. but for different reasons, for africa is a hub for natural resources. it has always been for the west. and now africa has multiple options. africa doesn't have to come to a bad deal that we get from the western countries. africa has choice. now, africa not wants to be treated as equals at the table. and now russia and china also, that's true africa, africa, and china and russia have had

a long history of friendship. and now we're able to corporate, as or as equal partners of the tables. i'll do you think that the war and ukraine has an effect to the situation and the interest of the west is currently pains. woods, africa, obviously we just saw the, the check for administer is we've had was he said, and he's also on a visit. that's a try and maybe gave back some of the european western influence. uh, do you think that the one ukraine is affect to this? and do you think the west will be able to gain some of it? some or increase has influence enough? definitely. we've seen an increase um, just a few months ago, we had a democracy submits in via where they weed was basically a weston. and the us led conference to draw back corporation with both china and russia for the african continent. they want to always dictate to us will a friend should be who africa should corporate wish. and they're willing to couple

governments to assess the nato a lead us for these. so the war is actually showing them that and we're glad the rush i standing up because security around the world now is at the most important for yes, apologist differential june. and now we see that so many western states are trying to discourage and the cooperation of many african countries with china underbrush. so what do you think they see it by this and other attempts to discourage this cooperation working as we're moving to multiple in the world. and it's very clear that africa now has many options. corporation with the, the west is not our only option. bricks is opening doors for the african continent to say that even when it comes to financing, when it comes to infrastructure development, when it comes to future for africa, we've got different options today. so this doesn't sit well with the west. g 7 sits

at the table to talk down on the rest of us in the west, but with bricks we're seeing a different order. we're seeing a global community wanting to come together and talk because the course. so this is not sitting well with the list. it's not sitting well with the hedge of money that they've, they used to know when he mentioned the financing of emphasis, which obviously china has invested billions in africa. we don't know the exact. so now from the main criticism of china, again, many from from, from western countries is a so called chinese debt trap that china is given these loans. that's incredibly generous rates that some countries may not be able to afford to pay by can insult the china. we can't influence that. do you think the debt shop exists and you think this is what china's payments do enough. i always say that the issue of a did trip is laughable. because if you look up zambia, 70 percent of our foreign debt is to the western countries,

not to china. so 30 percent is to china and we get to the debt from china. a very favorable under for faith, very poor conditions, a favorable interest rates. and even the period that we pay back and what we pay back, this is always much more favorable than from wisdom countries. and for chinese that we've got things tangible infrastructure that we can see where the data is going it for infrastructure development. we can see hydropower stations being built. we've got roads being built. we've got schools, hospitals being built on top of this that we've got free gifts coming from china to our african countries. is the same thing with gardner and across the african continent. tons in. yeah. so this did truck is just fake news. it's weston propaganda to try and reduce africa's cooperation with china. no friendship, but we have a long history with china. we have a long friendship with china,

and that's only going to grow. nothing is going to curb us back, but what about versus roles on the constant? and now how would you say that russia is cooperated with africa and this one is going to be a specifically what, what does ties like between the 2 countries? look for them via and russia. we have a long history. russia was there when we were fighting for independence. russia sided with as africans, as pool of free times at the time. we had nothing to offer russia, but russia came and helped us with military equipment to fight for independence. the western countries supported the apartheid regime in south africa, the racist apartheid regime, i should say. and also the people, the companies on the countries of colonized us. so we've got a long friendship and a long history with russia. but russia has taken little bit of a bucket seats lately, but it doesn't mean that on the african continent, we forgot to no friendship with russia. i'm both done by russia, and that's why we're seeing south africa, for example,

standing up for russia. i'm saying we're not going to go the west and route we in terms of our friendship. i know history with russia. we've got no credible history with the west. and did you mention south africa that we, we also had the, the us or is considering the imposing certain sections on south africa was a legit so full of russia in the war and ukraine, something which of course the country has denied. do you think that they'll be successful in uh, boeing, south africa to, to, to, to as well and suffering those relations with rational reducing them. they're not going to be able to, we would have long history as i've seen. and we saw this coming, and we knew that if it wasn't going to be for this, it was going to happen in august, leading up to the brick summits. the supposed to happen in south africa. south africa has been put under immense pressure right now to arrest tutoring as soon as he steps on south african soil. but we're not going to allow that to happen on the african continent. an african lead as a rising up. yes,

we do have puppet dreams. here and this being funded by wisdom countries. um yeah, for example has a puppet regime at the moment, funded by the width and the foundations to try and hold on to africa. but we're not going to allow this to carry on on the continuum. and we'll continue to support russia and we're grateful for south africa changing from sense. and we know that it's a now or multiple. well, let me. so the us is not all the options and groceries on the assumptions. i'm hearing most cormier. it's business as usual in russia. so we're not skid deducing . there's a certain reluctance in the west to accept the, the world is changing and, and many believe it is becoming much more multi polar. there are these shifting powered bases. china is obviously taking a much more prominent role in international diplomacy. for example, what do you think the rest of the west is the look some folks up? when you will be? consider the super power for some time. you think that if you remain

a superpower and you'll sides to remain a superpower and that's what they're doing. so they thought that this honeymoon of being a superpower wouldn't come to an end. but where people are pressed, they'll fight. and that's what's happening. and for us in africa, we want to see a stronger rational. we want to see a stronger china because that gives us hope, but gives us hope of a better future for our people in africa. we want to be able to use our resources for our own development to take our people out of the abject poverty that we see in africa. and soaking a bit more specifically about the the, the green brick summits in south africa. no heat source on this before, and there was obviously the, the rest warned by the international criminal court out for the present particular how do you think this will be resolved from august? it's it's a tricky situation. so there is the, for sure i can say how it will be resolved. but one thing that we're just proud of

is that south africa has stood up and will probably not issue. i mean effect that warrant. and we will continue to speak on the review south africa, hope that they are going down the right direction. not to fix that. yes, we have lead does. and that are trying to say, maybe president, provide me a, put a shouldn't just come to south africa, let him attend the brick some. it's virtually from what i think it's time. we stand up to the west. mm hm. so won't be happy to see president vladimir putting in south africa, attend the brick stomach and leave south africa peacefully. will certainly have to be interesting. see what happens is come august. now the russian foreign minister, the fast. so you left off he recently the best as is it not held back in his criticism of the west. let's put it that way. and he says, that's the worst initiative to stop russian. i figured cooperation is motivated by the desire to re establish colonial rule in africa. would you say that's fair or is it a bit harsh? that's fair. africa,

we have not forgotten what happened in 1884. in the, at the 1000000 conference they divided all continents into button to stun countries . and they want to continue to see us divided. the with doesn't want to see united africa because the united africa doesn't allow the one who not to allow them to explore tests the way they do today. so it is true, they want $1894.00 the berlin conference and those borders that they created for africa. just continue until 6, the with those borders that were set top box and those unofficial borders as you say, well what, texting to they, the fuel conflicts and unrest in the confidence. now, still, we say that if you want to win divide people, or if you want to rule, it's better that you divide people. so that's what the west continues to do. they don't want us to see an africa that is united because in africa that is united will

be prosperous and africa. that is united will be able to use its resources for the benefit of its people and for the benefit of the entire global community. we don't believe that the african resources just for africa, for example, they shouldn't be useful the entire well. but in a way that is unusual respect to each and every one of us. and that is beneficial to each and every one of us. that seems like a sufficiently positive note to end the interview on a candidate, and they shouldn't damage that one of the somebody in the socialist policy. thanks very much, that very in depth discussion today here on ok. thank you. thank you as well . that's how the world is looking at 11, 25 am. must go time monday and speak to scott's, and i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories in just over the phone. and i was trying to see it on the

time of acceptance. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. what could i please or do you have the state department? c, i a weapons, bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't watch my show state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you the only one main thing is important for not as an internationally speaking is that is

a nation's concepts are allowed to do anything. all the mazda races, and then you have the mine and agents who are the slaves. americans, rock obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, that doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous boy, a man that wants to take over the world. that was the culture strategy. says i'm the new one. i exist v i v, i not leashed it. often zoom on a tablet block. nato said it's ours. we move east. the reason the us, hey jim, it is dangerous. is it the by the sovereignty of the countries, the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. of nature, what is founded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in large arms

companies would lose millions and millions or is business businesses good. and that is the reality of what, what we're facing, which especially the total is the aggressive today. i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions today. russia was the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. but i think the pitch of the senior assist, click on anything and we see more in the way we'll shift for banning all in portion of russian oil and gas news for another country photos. what we're going to reset the fed surfacing for the, the joe biden in imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there is

a boomerang. the anger already knew, retirement age has fueled further protest in the streets of paris and opposition to the pension reforms are making a last ditch effort. prevent, present, recruit, and the french permit from an act and the changes i'm scared of. he's not this addition of 360 view. we're going to look at the protest currently happening industry to france and how their plight could affect other battles over pinched and reforms around the globe. let's get started. the . the french are known for their passionate love for art culture, cuisine and romance, which is francis beginning in $1792.00. it also has been known for its numerous

protest, which seemed to be almost a constant regardless of who or which political party is in power. this is especially true in recent times. the yellow best movement emerged in late 2018 in response to proposed fuel tax hikes and brought are concerned about socio economic inequality. the protest characterized by participants wearing a yellow high visibility best growing to a wider movement with demonstrations taking place across france. purchasers called for increased purchasing power, improved living conditions, and greater political representation. over the years, france has witnessed protest led by student organizations. these demonstrations often focus on issues such as education reform, labor rights, movement, conditions, social justice, students, teachers and workers have taken to the streets to voice their concerns and demand policy changes. but it's not just the young folk as

a very social and political movements have led to protest in recent years. these include demonstrations against police violence, riley's advocating for eligibility. q plus right. march is in support of women's rights and protest against government policies or legislation. but one of the most common things which has motivated fridge protest, is in regards to labor loss, will begin on the 19th of january with a series of civil unrest. incidents has developed into weeks of large scale protest in the streets of paris. however, this is not the 1st time angry members of trade unions, workers, associations, and the general public protested proposed reforms. the labor legislation, the french pension reform protest, took place and late 2019, and early 2020. as a response to some of the same issues. and proposed reforms inciting the present day protest. critics raise concerns about potential delays and retirement age

reduced pensioned benefits and perceive threats to social protection. some argue the reforms were disproportionately affect certain groups, such as workers and physically demanding jobs, or those with shorter career spans. today's purchase are the same except the specific age is expected to be raised from $62.00 to $64.00 for retirement. and the country is finding itself under new leadership with present mccomb. the but will the change and leadership mean a change in the outcome as a managed by protesters in the past have not prevented the government's wishes to prevail over the people? to discuss it, let us introduce our guest is on a brick, mont, who is the author of the humanitarian imperialism using human rights to so war is also a mathematical and statistical physicist at the university of nevada. and he was a co author of a fashionable nonsense post modern intellectuals abuse of science. thank you for joining us. and i want to start off with governments across the world zoar claiming

with far more of us living longer, that retirement ages for government pensions are not sustainable. is this true defense? what do you mean by sustainable? i mean, you see the argument is that people even longer than the other hand, positive gives you off work as increased a lot. so it's a matter of how you distribute the world in my opinion. then the problem to useful funds, i think, and of course, also from the united states of the few states. i mean, people do, they've been used to buying things from the china, the china, and so they don't produce with the consumer. and that's, that's the problem. because the good produce when they consume that they don't. so definitely glad the validation of the killing me. but you see we have the vision. visions coming on the moon and likely suppressing media as a new,

as of jobs are using the amount of fluid for many, many jobs. it's a deal to me that's each makes sense to increase the amount of the length of work. i mean, people are just going to list it efficiently, i think is there for us to look this up in jobs. i mean, i think the, you know, the to have my books and physics books activity, but it continues to work in that sense. but of course many jobs a painful and then people age, the age of 60, they may have back problems. i am back from the book sting. and you know, it's very difficult to do these menu at work. so forcing them to repeat that late domain simply that they received it as 2 years of this, of the use of this, you know, this guy. yeah. and that just means they're going to use the pension that's, i don't see that that's an associate susan. they says it is for me to leave that honest because i mean, so that you could use,

let you go to. so i'm gonna discuss what is going on in the streets of france. wire french citizens from both the public and the private sector. actually taking to the streets to protest the government pension reforms, what other forms they are looking for and why are they unacceptable to the government was going to be the physician or the moses them to their government. and then you know, then other on this guarantees. so i think that's, that's really the difference. i mean, there is no hope of the position, the existence if addition of course affiliation, even though they haven't been able to show that he's on 3 of these disputes that people want to is just as much as tongue gentlemen. young benjamin did you see on the other hand, i mean, the government has to pass the law very fairly soon and i can explain the technical

details from the constitutional point of view, a good thing to us. the debate of over the past, the low. and so now it's the, are we now they have to be put this that nothing's going to change. i mean the, the newest best. and it's unlikely that to be very easy to understand. the new government. we're going to vote on the other hand, the effect of that is that people have very, very upset and people that upset on both sides, you know, both sides of the booth and the item on the left. even though the sense that these are things you can do about the because the nose as being low as being passed. now you have actually attended some of the yellow best pro test, which were organized outside of the political parties. and those rallies were initially protest seem to propose gasoline tax, but then they became this protest about austerity programs and the high cost of living, throwing and also the government pensions. how are these current protest different from how they originally started? well, i think there's a big google i between the put this now and the universe them in the find is that

not of these purchase of the dimensions, there will be that much more. um, you know, let them all done by the unions and the lift, but do you think about these beds as i say, i mean the, i'm not strong enough to change a lot. uh so yeah, i mean the different and up the different i think than what the vision is just from the feeling of being filled up with the stage amount of the plastic so many more years them to me. i call the amount that you see that the bank just goes when you didn't come together the in price hike. i mean no gasoline because of the day of ocean and sanction because of invasion on the face. much, much higher and i need to us. but there wasn't a gazillion place, i think that the spell, the, the, you know, invest move and then uh yeah, there is no moving on specifically about the place i g of the, the price of gasoline. i mean is, of course, as a sponsor for jenna jenna, that must be a b, b of people being fed up. but you see the movement s as

a union in fact on. so i'm going to go about the 2nd. so one thing you don't want to talk to didn't want to do now is to buddy everybody's every hope in union. but in the ability of my call, the police ease of the, you know, the thing about the pension is influenced by the helping union. for example, vision, no, they want more. i mean, those are, they're being already, you know, looking back a linkedin in the, i mean, think it increasing. so he to the time and age envisioned him up. so the pension to the phone. and as you does, you got the new ones that then there's only been of the vision government. do we have to be and you see to it would just be like with people like us. it was to the size washington for in the united states. mainly these, these big bill cuz he's washington in the, you know, the degree that he's in,

steve the, you know, uh, staple of the c, a, d i the call center which escapes democratic control of the bees, the control congress. you'll not be seen with us because you choose to be of cause that they all these national government and national government exist between the heavy to the agent, the better of the union. i mean, the helping in closed monday want to confirm the monday. hopefully they're going to make buddies in please depos, stage bodies east, the demands of helping in any of them. but these types of easy, it was very glad that the ability to good, we do end up going to go lives indeed does not exist because everybody has been in the clean a didn't the idea that you up is this huge. i mean you have enough to this. do you have been construction, isn't the few julians and avoid the buttons? good and so on, so forth. so it's very difficult to change, and that's who boot for the item domestic to in the center is

a french people. or we can even look at the belgian people. look at the amount of foreign aid their country is given and take into consideration when they themselves are looking at higher taxes and having to work longer. is there a call to reduce for an 8? i mean, france itself, i'm noticing is the 5th largest country and giving a for an aide outside of its borders. belgium is 8. there was a large percentage which being given to inform aid, do you think the people of these countries would be willing to adjust therefore in a gift if it meant lower taxes, unless pension issues? well, i am not sure about it, so i need you for reading. i meg in terms of that. so i need to look guarantees. but what training does a lot of hands on the is the money that it gives to the union? that the spend something that goes down between 10 and 20 b a u haul. yeah. that they give to europe in union. don't get back. and douglas douglas.
