let him, is it just recently? i think it some wishful thing. so it would be a very fitting description of western partners behaviors of i. so reports on cnn. they sent us intelligence, found out about the interaction being planned. so several days before it happened was the what it was, i decided not to share this information. i guess they were hoping for them, you need to succeed. well, i know the cnn report is pushing to the same conclusion that it sounds. yesterday they quoted us intelligence on rules who are poverty, expected precautions march toward moscow. they seem to encounter much more resistance and us goes and be a lot more bloody than it was us. so this policy also has your question about their expectations. as we said, confirming the forwarding concepts, the ukrainian regime has been opening, talking about unexpecting the collapse of the russian states. there's was an lensky, i'm his medians, like put on the co daniels. and i've said it nonsense into the goals and more upset when they sold that the situation didn't cause the raising to crash for the most, even macro on. but it's a european democratic leader who wants europe to gain strategic independence from

the united states gave his $0.02 share his opinion, wasn't that much different of the us. however, he said something along the lines of the following the situation with caution to what the most important thing that we are seeing said micro on it, even though is how french all week and divided the regime on the, on the year and search for jealousy and weaknesses, justified directions and continued a minute to support the ukraine. according to my cronum with the cool, i think even in 8th grade, i cannot understand what micro i'm was trying to say. so clearly he thought that the situation in russia was a chance to realize nato is constance, right? so they keep telling you quite into strategically defeat the russian to collective west ministry, economic ad information, michigan is working against us. but the richness cheaper involves a mutiny has failed. now that forces have been seen withdrawing from k russian regions. i'm heading back to the feel times where they came from the latest. but it shows columns. moving through the la guns with public off the, withdrawing from both of them don't where they seize the number of military. if so

let's ease on such as a, him see blogs. i agreed to stand down on sleeve wash isabella, roots of the tulips would be the russian presence of alexander new christian cove and co ordination would be washed and laid of last night to 2 or 3 correspondents ramon caused a rep assess is the situation of the withdrawal the blood should hear and restore buns on having a vs. members sack our private company have and now left the city. we are right next to the headquarters of the military here, a little storm on dawn and its not back under their control. the military police. here you can see the guys are back to work. however, the consequences of this farm use. any roommates take a look at. this game is been destroyed by saying solve the wagner military group. there are 10 tracks on the street as well, but the roles have been zip blogs. now, of course, so the situation here was the very sense on saturday. and i tried to gauge people's

opinion about what happens here. they need to sort out their relationship after victory. it broke my heart, seeing what happened, we were worried, but now everything is fine with very glad that everything worked out safely and without bloodshed and generally voting. the forces a note that they just did a bad thing, i think what took place should never have happened. so they behaved calmly and polite just citizens, but let people to come up to the vehicles, take pictures, but nevertheless i'm against such actions. they don't improve the authority of how country sir has the center of the city and on the outskirts of the city as well. people are now able to move around freely. however, on saturday, the situation here was very sense. indeed. they weren't shots flyers. we heard the sang sang explosions as well as people ran for their lives. meant the tensions,

the russian foreign ministry has said most go received voices of support from a number of allies, countries including iran, the most press on this. i have the, fortunately, we're witnessing a peaceful situation after events in russia over the past several days. we perceive what has happened as an internal affair. fortunately, the nations administration dealt with the situation wisely and things have returned to their normal state and neither we believe no nation has the right to intervene and another's internal affairs for political reasons. russia's extremely importance in the region. we support the russian government's efforts to maintain peace and stability in their country. we believe in consistency and security are not of interest to the nation or its people and regional states. fortunately, the situation in russia's back to normal, your ons foreign minister has conducted talks with his russian counterpart and the ties between to her under moscow are continuing based on

a mutual interest. while the attempted mutiny on folded western media outlets and some politicians were adding fuel to the file with grim predictions on us sent it to openly expressed his hope for putting this down for cooling, the potential perpetrators. true patriots. as internal strife and keels occurs inside of russia, maybe the outcome eventually be the russian. people freed from corrupt, autocratic war, criminal dictators like putting, replaced not by a terrorist organization like the wagner group, but true russian patriots. one to establish freedom and integrate, rush up to the world. our hope is freedom for the long suffering people of russia. the decision to pull off the groups as violence on moscow has been surrounded by speculation in the west and media. conspiracy theories have ranged from the russian intelligence, black meaning vulgar to come on dis families to a mutinous march in order to distract the globe before the slice of strike on ti, of stage, from the territory of salaries for the auction magazine managing editor,

jeremy, could throughout besides, the us spends a full tune on brain washing people with anti russian propaganda, but that runs the risk of a much greater conflict. you know, the western media has been so biased since the beginning of this special military military operation going back really 10 years. we've been bombarded here in the united states, which was, you know, as a rush of propaganda. some people in the us are under the illusion then keep spending billions of dollars and support ukraine in a totally fee tell cause that has no chance of success. the budget that the by ministration signed off on is, is approaching a trillion dollars. it's up for the $800000000000.00 and with the end of the war, ontario, there's really no justification for that. so they had to invent the new enemy and who better than the big bad russians, you know, from the cold warrior. and they just basically recycle the propaganda and shrugs from the cold war about russia and the russians, and tried to make food. and you know, they played up as k, g,

be background and tried to make like using the new joseph stalin and it worked. unfortunately, americans i live in united states are not very well informed about russia. the media is there just for trading cartoonish ways. you in hollywood movies and it's led to a very reckless and dangerous policy that threatened world war 3. and it's not me interest americans in the interests americans as to and peace and the conflict in ukraine to have good relations going forward with the russians. and to invest in their, our own economy and country and then just struck sure and health care systems that we're not doing that. and there's a certain very narrow referral lead that's driving. i think this policy an agenda lost only the russia. and i think it's a very nefarious the lead and then the furious policy from my point of view. india is finance minister has planned for me us presidents barack obama, his comments regarding minority issues in her country. she didn't stop that though, reminding him that he owed the bombings across the globe while in office, leaving

a trail of destruction behind. for both the us to the general quickie. what i'm talking about for matters i'm speaking with my duration on the topic of us for what a good friendship. but there are remarks about in the religious tolerance from u. s. commission on international religious freedom. mr. former president obama says something about that. meanwhile, around 6 conference was predominantly most simple relation to boned for this very reason. take syria. yeah. and so would you already be rock? was there no bomb being a we're like situation developed in several countries with more than $26000.00 bombs being dropped. how will anyone listening to them or trust them when conferences making political decisions such as these bring allegations against india? if i had the conversation with prime minister moody, quite a well part of my argument would be that if you don't protect the rights of ethnic minorities in india, there is a strong possibility that india, with at some point start pulling apart. we have seen what happens when you start

getting those kinds of large internal conflicts. so that would be contrary to the interest of not only the mostly media, but also they came to india. i think it is important to be able to talk about these things. honestly and up on this a t as in office the us conducted as strikes on 7 different countries and shooting us down. histone rock syria, libya human pakistan on somalia based on american military reports since 911. the pentagon has conducted nearly 100000 as strikes. we spoke to reuben to search the president of the imagined dia institute, who says that india will not remain silent, but his internal affairs are criticized. if you look back at india new reservations, they've been blowing closer. but would it be owner, appear to find that all the, you know, some sensitive topics on which either of us quantity shows all lawmakers on some things and all the us view of the long list and the for the important thing that i

so they just see them, they come on with this, somebody force which don't strike later on live in india. and india is now increasingly talking by with respect to such as papers which come up. so on the one hand, yes a, it is something because of all that at all will come in india, you and anybody sermonizing make giving india. but, you know, we, in india we've gotten used to getting such bob's and such comments from the us. see the big picture america looks up on himself as a city on the other bank and on the top of the hill, me tough ones, the values of democracy. and when i'm a make up for most democracy outside in the word america, innovative looks to reinforce and felt its own sense that it has a motive for pick them up to see the reasoning bows out. and, you know, let's choose a summarizes others, regular spectrum. democracy and so to, you know, topics logics tend,

i think is driven by the social image of america and americans. ribbon they assume that they are the deposit pre owned democracy and there's that model review be low . and if they don't follow, then they've, it will be between that one. cuz i think fundamentally assessed on this to can you what an investigation to shed light on the claims of gruesome violence to the local pineapple plantation. the country is human wise body has opened to prove it to a number of killings on the sold spine security guards as the local funds on by the american. but use global food concludes, don't one say a steven was busted. his body was found by the side of the road. he was 22. he had been strong with the y a says an eye witness. the last time anyone saw stephen alive, they said he was being beaten. we wouldn't comes by security guards working for the food john delmonte didn't want a company. nobody deals with the processing. cutting and also producing defense

types of industries should be they buy an apple. that is what is normally growing up here and just find that they've got no money, but we people know through interest bother, and also tuesday available for a lot of things. but to me, what is being drunk, the in monitor, even though they not pulled up on happy people on what's happening or what, how does that, how they know what has been happening in the family been boss some of democracy. ok cause up to now just these has no big deal and that is way to keep one thing to keep on addressing won't be based on the governmental entity based on the account, the government imagined or the government and the vehicle and who could find that stuff and picking fluids or the time to be just passing. it is not, it is other thing that can pause and someone's like in the thing that the deep one in 50 gives people interesting to you. they gave the heads up to the 19th. i know

that's been happening to the warranty company and especially the low cost the be facing the challenges are they investigate, show people above the bodies, all the kids that are being alleged going back to the body, they got there. this is real life is to be that when we get, i think you to young my, which was followed along side of the above the see that's the way you get the result of being a big deal by the god. so nobody got it. they've done vision or they company. yeah, 5 dogs loves to have been buy listings as he was asked by the company in the you waiting for the a sentence and the invoice. or you can be viewed the web, the new boards and the store. but to me, one of the community, a member. so what we know is that according to what has been supplies or that

companies have no money to buy it to produce retirement, shane tina, according to the information we are getting this thing before i do one of this, i'm not going to saying that it is not going to associate detail, just not going to buy it anymore. and the product is, are coming from doesn't want to be something that's really quite sure what he is do . jena lee. it's either going to wait and see different useful, or for the company, or the companies that normally buy a product from delmonte if they want to keep on engaging, did solve it in the business with a company. even though the, all of these i get shots rushes ministry offer. and if essays president zalinski is destroying the traditional foundations of ukrainian society and his looting religious shrines that as russians for an intelligence services, they saved enough the pulse by ukraine on the west to transfer hurley orthodox

church, relics out of the country. and then to you were penn state's an agreement was reached between the key of all sorts ease and representatives of unesco on the removal of all the adults, relics from the temperature of the key of picturesque glover and their subsequent ton said to the museums of it. to the front, germany and the vatican under the pretext of salvation from russian missile strikes, there is no doubt that the return of the red x is not included in the plans of the west on the key of drugs under it. so authority it comes as ukraine continues this month, long the asset to take of a historically important shrine from the russian orthodox church, arresting priests and monks, while harassing worship as it keeps pitch escalade row. you claim most to replace the local clergy with its own government approved religious administration, despite numerous prayers. your spiritual need is including the pope urging for lensky to stop the persecution of christians in the country. and you know,

spoke supposing responded to all these requests for comment, saying the organization is not involved in this evacuation. and that full is not in a position to comment on it. no to confirm it was supposed to be deputy chairman of media relations for the russian orthodox church. he said that new crating simply doesn't see the importance of the shrines to christianity. we received this information and we are very concerned. of course, what is happening in the grain and the what a sex truly happening, which can only cause you credit orthodox church is a real catastrophe. and that is why we are not what am i surprised, that the continuation of these or full then the seek would be as was described by russian intelligence service. and i think that they don't understand, they mean villages. so if you planning on staying that lease, it's not simply trash itself material, well they've, these are the try as squalid radix. we track of an

unprecedented aspiration where you for people not only knew crane, but also for people who believe in ration do a ration along with the world, but questions and will think that these are snakes, holy places, should the prospect should be protected by all means say cross overlays as well as news updates on our website, all tape dot com. as always we appreciate your company. thank you for choosing us international the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point,

obviously is to create a trust rather than to the area. i mean, with the artificial intelligence we have summoning the theme in the robot most protects this phone existence with alexis the

when i said when it was the highest rating right now, you can go to the drawing picture rising to the monster. but it's like a, like a hammer somewhere i can use it to put a name on my want. at the same i can use the fact on wednesday the the hello, i'm manila chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. tonight will cruise over to the pacific rim,

while much of the world has of eyes on ukraine. the u. s. department of defense and washington political leaks have already shifted their gaze farther east taiwan, australia, the philippines, the solomon islands. washington is island hopping, and we'll tell you why. next. all right, let's get into the about the they told you flat out that their focus is shifting to the pacific. remember, when president joe biden said this, are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan? if it comes to that, yes, you are. that's a commitment. we may we may, we are not look, here's the situation. or we agree with the one china policy. we signed on all the attendance agreements made from there. but the idea that that can be taken by

force is taken by force is just not, it's just not appropriate to dislocate the entire region. and be another action similar to what happened in your, in ukraine. that was bite and back in 2022, while on his 1st trip to asia as poetess during a press conference in japan with his counterpart from york, you should up. and while washington keeps saying it observes the one china policy, their actions tell you another story. look at nancy pelosi is visit to taiwan just before she step down as speaker of the house are technically the 3rd in line to the presidency. as they say, talk is cheap, the chinese notice, so they're taking action across the pacific region. they've expanded their new belt and road initiative to include maritime deals, which will increase trade partnerships throughout much of the pacific rim. so we're

here to break it all down for us is an expert in us china relations. he has lived and worked in mainland china on and off since the 1980s, a dr. attendant hammond, professor of history at new mexico state university. he's also the former director of the confucius institute and officer of the new book. china is revolution and the quest for a socialist future. dr. hammond, thank you so much for joining us today. uh, 1st question. in the pacific region, there is really only one major country that is considered western. that's australia, sorry, new zealand. but we saw increase tensions between the chinese and ozzy's under the morris and government. but now that labor has one down, under anthony albany, is making moves to saw the icy relations between his country and china. with the elephant in the room for albany. c is the us between the new bite in august packed

the quad security alliance. the aussies could be ham strong from getting too close to beijing. how do you read australia is fine line they're walking as well. i think that sits there caught you in a sort of historical conundrum in some ways because of course that's true. yeah. has a long history of, you know, as a, as a white settler colony, it has been a participant in, in the british imperial system. and then, you know, after even after its independence, it has remain very closely tied to britain that, that varies from administration to administration. but i think that labor finds itself in a, in a situation where they're, the reality of the world, of course, is that asia and, and within asia, china is increasingly important in terms of, of australia's international trade. uh, you know, china is,

is becoming much more significant, much more carrying a lot more weight. and so i think that there's, there's the, the, the sort of legacy of identification with, with the west with the british empire. and then later with the united states. but the, the evolving realities, the emerging realities are that australia is future, is probably going to be shaped more by its relationship with china. so i think that the easiest heck, uh, navigate this very carefully. i think that it's a welcome situation. now 1st of all, you have to be backing away from some of the more overt antagonism and some of the deeper engagement with america's and you know, imperial ambitions. but i think he also is probably keeping one eye, at least on, on the, the, the recollection of what happened with a gulf with love and a previous labor government that was essentially taken out by the united states for

being too progressive at home. and given the focus that the united states has on an opposing china, now, he has to be careful not to become too friendly to china. and you know, at the risk of provoking some sort of either overt or clandestine intervention by the united states. that could, the challenge is, is political liability. now, despite ozzie m p's calling this saw with china, quote, a stabilization of ties rather than a reset. trade between these 2 states had been booming since their w t o spat over barley tear of the chinese impose during the pandemic as early as exports to china surge to record highs back in this march accounting for 12.7. $1000000000.00 us dollars. that's up 31 percent from the year before the chinese have purchased huge volumes of iron or, and coal from australia,

lifting their band on ozzy coal earlier this year. now some of the west are suspicious of beijing, new purchases from kind of our a choosing china of sort of buying their way into diplomacy. what do you say to that as well? i, i think that that's, that's a, that's a pretty self serving interpretation. i mean, really what's, what's going on in the, in the world as a whole is that there's, there's this sort of deep structural reconfiguration of the global economy taking place. that, that the, the monopoly that was held by the, the sort of north atlantics core western europe and north america. since the industrial revolution, you know, on, on the modern technologies of production that allowed them to reconfigure the world in a way that was focused on them and subordinated everybody else to be either sources of raw materials or markets for manufactured goods. that areas is over. you know,

the to productive technology is a bit diffused around the world and in various ways. and countries like china, but not only china are now not only sort of catching up with, with modern production from the west, but, you know, baiting and creating new technologies on their own. and so we're, we've moved beyond that period, the, not just the period of western colonialism and west to impair it imperialism, but the domination of the economy by those core countries in, in the west. so that's just, that's just a deep changing reality. and what that means is that trade with china, for a country like australia, which has, you know, commodities that, that china needs and once and, and has things that it wants to buy from china. this is just a logical development. and for that to be a growing component of australia as economy, australia is international trade. it is just common sense. and so to look at it sort of cynically and say, oh, the chinese arriving yesterday. and that's,

that's really just so it's simply a manifestation of the changing realities of a now emergent multi polar world, where the united states and it's, it's allies in, in western gear are no longer the diamond center, you know, but it's, it's, it's something that they're not happy about the, the americans and in their, their, their allies. but this is, this is just the change that's, that's going to take place. this is going to continue to one folders as the years and decades from now go forward and scale your i think will do best for itself. if it tries to, to pursue a path that allows it to, to, to profit in a sense from that change, you know, find is old position with in this new multi polar world. rather than just tying its fortunes to, you know, the continuing dominance of the united states to another battle ground in the pacific is the tiny, solomon islands. australia is their closest mainland neighbour nearly

a 1000 miles away. but some on that island are asking them to intervene. as a chinese state owned company is negotiating right now a deal to buy a deep water c port and a world war 2 error stripped from coney era. china is already the islands main revenue source with 90 percent of extractive resources going to be j. despite assurance as by the prime minister, manasseh, so avari that china will not quote, have any military bases on the island. there's still a lot of distrust there, especially given that the solomon islands a band and their 36 year support for taiwan in favor of beijing. the us has recently reopened their embassy, their to boot. so why are there so many eyes on the solomon islands right now? well, i think that the shifting situation in, in the pacific region is, is, it's, it's a, it's a story that's developing. it's a very dynamic situation right now. the solomon islands, not i think because of,

of some particular circumstance of their location or anything like that. but because they have been kind of at the forefront of, of, of, of recognizing this changing world that we were just talking about. you know, i think that that for them to shift to their, their diplomatic recognition from type age of aging, it's just a logical step. again in adapting to the emerging realities of, of the 21st century. i think it's a very pragmatic step. i don't think that the, the government at the solomon islands is particularly illogically oriented one way or another between the united states and, and, and china. but i think that they're, they're looking at the economics of their country. they're looking at a very challenging future with, with global warming and rising sea levels and all this, they have many things they're going to have to be dealing with. and i think the idea.
