the for now, our accelerators generate rather low amounts of energy and current, but we are on the same track that other countries beach to develop their accelerators. and we are aiming at a high speed by relying on our indigenous know how. so, so you're wanting to generalize bits, nuclear industry in 2006. it has cost since we've been haunted by centers over on the west coast. fears of a nuclear bomb. something which of on has vmc rejected, think it's nuclear program versus only civilian a peaceful part presence in the latest. so it's a controversy. the international atomic energy agency claim that it had found uranium. and if you already live almost 83.7 percent at the for the fuel enrichment plant, essentially one the countries atomic energy organization denied the allegations and give on has never attempted to enrich uranium beyond the 60 percent threshold. charge around our calibration with a i. e. a is based on the framework of and peachy and additional protocol. we're

working with a nuclear and what stuck within this framework in the policy of the forward disputed locations were highly enriched. uranium was reportedly filed, have been reduced to 2 spots. the exchange of wizards is still ongoing and we hold that issues related to the 2 of the locations will also be settled. the now defunct is 2015 nuclear deal, also known as the joint comprehensive plan of action for j cpr way. i'd worked out very well in settling the long standing groups between one in the west but only for 2 years and before but us sooner. laterally walked out of the accord in 2018 and reinstated sanctions against 16 quotes. i been on the multilateral agreement promise sanctions worthy for the wrong in return for the country. for tailoring gets nuclear activities, like washington's unexpected withdrawal prompted. you want to take your time. it's always steps by scaling back, it's commitments of the pact, those steps included the which and you run you up to 60 percent fewer. it will be on the 3 point. 67 percent cap set out why the deal?

the vienna discussions between one and the remaining parties of the 2015 deal, which came to revive the jcp away and get to washington to form back. the compliance have remained stalled since august last year with one of the us talking us $10.00 each asking the other side to can see it process and will return to full compliance. always the us removes all of sanctions against as well as the nuclear deal remains. and when everyone has been watching golf, it's atomic programs, something which is seen as a message. so the worst temperatures have not disrupted. it's moved here in this room, while the policy of the receiving is referred is to fort worth for things the country's economy over dealing with their loss as the door. so negotiations are always open. use of generally are to the members of the explicit g 7 club pride themselves as the rule makers on the global order are they still won't. they think they are next option raton,

so you offices take on the organizations future on our show, the modus operandi, particularly the, the hello, i'm manila, chad. you're tuned into modus operandi today. will s for one of the world's most exclusive clubs. they exist, but not officially. there are strict rules to enjoy, but they're founding was based on an outdated model of the world. so their membership is actually shrinking. today will be discussing the g 7. who are they? what do they do? and why do they still exist? all right, let's get into the m o the

they get together for an annual meeting and jointly decide who they will impose financial pain and pressure on the group of 7, better known simply as the g 7. after joining, you must meet certain domestic economic criteria. put plainly. you gotta be rich, your country, that is your g d p has to be one that can inflict pain on others. if you take this financial path or another. next, you have to be so called a democratic society. your mode of governing has to, in effect be in line with how western countries defined democracy. now i understand that definition has constantly moving goal posts, but regardless, you have to be considered a democracy. the last major tenant to join the g 7 block is this. you have to be

an industrialized capitalist society. your country's economic philosophy must be based on capitalism. good or bad? i'm not making that distinction for you, but the g 7 requires your country's economic model. be a capitalistic one. the members today consist of these countries. the united states, canada, u. k, germany, france, italy, and japan. as recently as 2014, the g 7 was actually the g 8. the group kicked out russia after crimea voted to secede from ukraine and joined the russian federation. russia was a member from 1997 to 2014. so to talk more about what this existing group does, how they wield their power and so forth, will bring in veteran journalist, host of the international show going underground action with times the action.

first. let's review the latest g 7, summit 2023, which took place in at ocean by japan. and they were the chair of this year summit . so on. surprising wait, the meeting revolved around in the pacific issues more specifically the role of china in the region. the groups communique has now been released and it reads in part like this, quote, a building on our resolve in l. now to increase vigilance and enhance our cooperation to address risk that undermined and global security and stability. we will enhance collaboration by launching the coordination platform on economic coersion to increase our collective assessments preparedness deterrence and response to economic coersion and further promote cooperation with partners beyond

the g 7. we will deepen our strategic dialogue against malicious practices, to protect global supply chains from illegitimate influence espionage listed knowledge leakage and sabotage. in the digital severe, we are firm, our shared responsibility and determination to coordinate on preventing the cutting edge technologies we develop from being used to further military capabilities to threaten international peace and security. why that was a mouthful. okay. action. it doesn't take a genius to read between the lines here. they are referring to china, implying that china has engage in what they would call economic co workers and of sorts. but isn't that precisely what the g 7 themselves do? i mean, look no further than the g 7 price caps on russian crude. it's absurd, isn't that i mean, altogether, when the old idea of the g 7 is containment of other countries,

progress and development. i mean, the fact that it was only the other day, a g 7 for administer anthony blinking was in saudi arabia desperately trying to order around. mom had been settlement to do much failure because we heard that very shortly afterwards. he was on the phone, letting me boots and, and know that boiled prices were talked about. so the oil price cap is about one attempt by the g 7 to control of the countries to control their modes of development to control their democracies and g 7 for g 7 just read major. the idea, it was a russian of all places where that's the only atomic bombs to kill so many thousands of people. hundreds of thousands of people when japan, it already surrendered in world war 2. in any case, the idea that the v 7 should meeting the russian, it was a, was a telling attempt to try and show power around the world because it

failed. so what's the relevance of the g 7 today? i mean, they have a g 20, doesn't the existence of the latter supplant? the former or you know, is the smaller grouping this exclusive grouping? it's better because it's so exclusive. it is an exclusive club, the g 7. because if you think about it, they have a disproportionate amount of blood on their hands. a given to the g, 7 nations comprise those that committed to such a may him or around the will. tens of millions killed, wounded or displaced from was enough canis johnny rock libya, syria, and, and so on. and attempts it goes all around the world. you have the g. 20 is 3, 5th of the will population. and who did everyone come running to of to lehman brothers went bust to the 20th a price is not the g $7.00 because it was the crime was committed for which

settlement advocate settlements we made were in g 7 countries, but it was a g. j a n d meeting that really came to the forward to try and desperately save the from the predatory capitalism that it was worldwide recession and slum so absolutely. i mean the, the, it's clear that the g 20 is more representative and i should just say a british and g o walks fans of the g 7. those the global south, 13 trillion dollars in development in climate assistance. so actually the g 7 wouldn't be the g 7 is that they did use. well, the g 7 do is a daily us for deaf debt from the 4th countries in the world, at a rate of $232000000000.00 a day in a refigured debt, but saving to call the trillions they owed for what they've done to the developing world countries, they wouldn't be g 7, they wouldn't be the 7 most powerful economic countries in the world. they'd be debt to even more designations than they are now. yeah,

excellent. point on the financial crisis of 2008. so this so called exclusive g 7 club, they invited ukraine to attend their summit this year. ukraine is not a member of state, nor does it meet the economic bar for accession, not before the military operation and certainly not after. i mean, does this country even pass muster as an economic driver in the world? why was born, where zalinski invited to attend this year? oh, usually zelinski is a products of langley virginia and the military industrial complex in the united states. so perhaps you did have the right to be at the g 7 and he is emblematic and what the g 7 are infamous for. for most of humanity that is staffed and sanctioned staffed and sanctions because obviously we know that they freeze people's money and threatened to give it to the landscape. that's what they have been saying. they've

frozen russian. let me g 7 countries have stolen money from venezuela and of course it's the g 7 countries that a sanctioning desperately sanctioning economies trading with russia with venezuela, with i mean, how many sanctions does the g 7 countries have against other countries in the world trying to target that population so that the children go and go to school and get textbooks and use jewel, use graphite pencils and the like. so zalinski arguably should be there. the sympathizes clearly with his forces on the ground, i liked to neo nazis in ukraine and so therefore he is the name of the most g 7 values and the fift and mud and sanctions. the v 7 is known for coming up next david rockefeller's legacy. think tank the council on foreign relations has made some interesting comments about the g 7 block as of late. we'll

discuss it when we return with action returns the sit tight, the m o will be right back. the it needs to come to the russian state. never as one of the most sense community best, most all sense and up the in the system must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russia to day and split the ortiz, full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say, even closer to

the american voters are rarely interested in the world policy during election cycles. but it said the issue between maybe the exception this time around, particularly among t o p voters, much of the republican base us our w brain policy. they see it is by the the accused trump of being engaged various born corrupting scams. and now it's coming out that the bite and family was taking money from almost anybody around the world to line the pockets by them you know, the, by the democratic use, trump of various sexual misconduct. there's all kinds of allegations circulating, bite and concerning that. and concerning far worse misconduct. and so i think what

you see is a lot of construction through project and what they accuse trump of is what they themselves are, gives you the, the, 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 is a conflict with the 1st law show your mind, anticipation. we should be very careful about the personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various job. i mean, with the artificial intelligence, we have so many with them in the most protect this phone existence was on the welcome back to the hmo. i'm manila chance there's a prominent think take here in the us called the council on foreign relations, but dates back to 1921. founded by david rockefeller, grandson of the american oligarch, or sometimes described as robert baron john

d. rockefeller. now david was an unofficial adviser to every us president from eisenhower to nixon and is said to have influenced a great deal of how the world is organized today. so his c, f r, a think tank carries great weight when they issue commentary. the action, red tons, the host of going underground is back with us. thank you for sticking around action . so according to the council on foreign relations of all places, they recently put the aggregate and g d. p of this block at roughly 44 percent of the global economy and nominal terms. that's actually down from 70 percent just 30 years ago. the trend is not going in the blocks favor. if we put the g 7 toe to toe against emerging bricks, nations who emerges victorious clearly of even the council on foreign relations,

which is just a spoke st tag, even may recognize the g 7 rule as a percentage of the global gdp is folding. it really must be fully. and if g 7 nations like germany are already and recession, the proportion of global gdp is clearly definitely following because it's rising in other countries like russia and china and the briggs countries. and i think on pvp relative pricing. what is it, the bricks nations have overtake the g 7 in any case. so yeah, increasing of the g 7 is shown to be what it is. it's not even the economic powerhouse of the of it is known for at home in the g 7 nations for growing and a quality slower and you're selling life expectancy. in some cases in the largest prison. you know, if you look at the united states imprisoning up a capital more than now or scotland, you're going to see the g 7 countries is going completely the other direction that

the rest of the world is going on, which is really why. anyway, breaks is something that everyone wants to join, isn't it? yeah, see how far dest spiral predictions isn't that something? so let's talk about the groups, identity crisis. now they were formed in 1975, we're talking, they backed them, they were called the g 6. it was the us, france, italy, japan, u. k. and then back in west germany, the alliance was actually formed to address recession sparked by the growing strength of opec to counter opac. now, economic concerns were the primary purpose. but before long, cold war politics crept in. it would appear, we have come full circle action after russia was kicked out of the block in 2014 and they joined back in $98.00. so which is it? is this group, and economic block or a political one?

it's an interesting question where the blocks of political or economic would block, in terms of geopolitics comes from graham. she and he always said that was political in the 1st place. so even though the shanghai cooperation organization might say, oh, we know political brick. so it's not political multiple, our, it is no political of course it is. and the g 7 is absolutely political because of g 7 nations each. so each of when it comes to the mass, it was in iraq, afghanistan, and syria, and so forth. and the wars against anything different, any different economic model, that's what defines the g 7, not just the declining economic power. there are declining the g d p as a proportion of global gd, be. it is the political cloud in trying to over throw democratically elected leaders all around the global south in latin america in africa, and south east asia in the caribbean. that's what defines the g 7. it's ability to

covertly hiding from their own popular g 7 populations. the id, you're all so deliberately sabotaging any kind of democratic values in the global so. so the benefit those d 7, it leads any, it's within the g 7 countries because obviously the people who move g 7 countries a suffering terribly from, from what's going on. so it's a political grouping, like many others, but the kind of politics, the practices a. well, i mean, what's the politics you get? some people might say like capitalism as a complement to what too many in the global south suffering today. see is g 7. so i'm calling record of mass killing, torture and the creation of mass and equality in countries around the world. right? i mean, at this point, money seems inextricable from politics, doesn't it? so it may come as a surprise to many viewers,

but the g 7 is technically an informal grouping. there is no permanent secretary at no charter um, no purpose, that is set in stone. for example, nato has a charter, a rules of the road and a destination if you will. but the g 7 has none of these. now i'm struggling to understand why it exists and healthy out here. yeah, it's funny you saying they do as a charger and rules of the road because in nature that means north atlantic treaty organization. and last time i looked at a map of ghana, some sit on the the these countries on near the atlantic. what is the nature of peacekeeping force in cost of it for a sort of in the atlantic ocean? is it but any, any days? if the g $7.00 doesn't even have it shot, you doesn't even have any kind of rules whatsoever. then why not just fold it into nato? has the rest of the world sees nato as this belligerent grouping?

and in any case, that's what nature represents. in terms of uh, um, funding and, and the like. so just follow the g 7 in tomato because you can only clean the declining geopolitically the declining what they have is that military might. and then you can have weapons. so yeah, i think the folding g 7 is an age, it wouldn't be a bad idea. and then we can just get on and realize that the g 20 and who knows even the united nations, despite the, the, what i'm doing, you get you or is as done as regards the war in the center of europe. as the united states fights russia, 3 ukraine, despite when people think vento, and you're good to hear as maybe we can revise something of what the principles of the life of nations were. obviously, we know from edward snowden that to the american intelligence, that was a bug senior un personnel, but perhaps as a way forward for the g 7. it's an a to revive the un look at the g 20 and the u. n. is the future. when of course, what we know as

a reality is it is going to be breaks. it is going to be a multiple, the world devoid of the sanctions and the attempts and all know being uh no blink. but the economies of the global south that that was the g 7 actually do try and make people suffer. yeah. rest in peace. she said, yeah, well there is talk of japan joining nato as well. and last i checked, japan was still in the pacific. and now one of the rules of membership or accession into g 7 is that your economy has to be capitalistic. but given china is obvious, economic gains under a communist government. the last 40 plus years and, and by many various measures, has become the number one economy in the world. when it behooves the g 7 to revise its rules to joining this unofficial club. but even if they did,

do you think china would even care to join? isaac, china would want to join the g 7 would have given that it's not even though it's ringo biden's phone calls about any kind of symmetry. but every time the state department's works was that his dandy press going, which is us, when are you gonna have that meeting with the chinese? what does that spite balloon story destroy relations publicly between the united states and the world's largest creator of goods in the world? a superpower in terms of tackling in the quality and obviously the world's economic superpower in a few years time. why would it want to join the g 's of it? i don't think i possibly would want to join the g 7 and the new countries brazil would literally luna probably would. but china joining the g 7. i don't think it particularly would one to it would necessarily join, i suppose, just because of those gdp numbers. but as you say,

they define something cool. capitalism as part of the requirements, whenever capitalism is given the amount, if a government subsidy to bailout the banks and joints you 8 was, i mean, that was pretty state just was like, alright, action to. so to summarize, the g 7 is unofficial. there is no charter or secretary at their goals, vacillate between economic prosperity and political pressure. their joint economic strength has vastly diminished over the last 30 years. yet last year, summit in germany focused on russia this year on china. could we make the argument that this unofficial block has had the unintended consequences pushing these 2 superpowers together, which would actually, i guess defeat the purpose of existence. i mean, of course, if it had one, the nicest thing one can ever say about the jew 7 is that united the world i

against the g 7 countries. i go back to this estimate by the british n g o l sam. because the idea that these g 7 countries owe the rest of the world. so a teen trillion dollars by their estimations. given what they've done and taken from the rest of the world, shows it at the core and the root of what the g 7 is. it is too big is believe that the so called mainstream media is sent over for this. most grading is drawn is one to route going. yeah, these are the 7 most important powers. these are the 7 most economically important powers that are talking about a rule based order that govern the world. why did they even both so as you say, the nicest deputy office. yeah. as you mentioned actually would be they've united the world against the g 7. the g 20 countries, most of them are very suspicious of g 7 countries. that motives and their attempts

ads trying to benefit those g 7 countries. elites of the expense of the rest of the world action returns a veteran journalist and host of the show going underground. thank you so much for your time today. thank you, manila. all right, that's going to do it for this episode of modus operandi. the show that digs deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila chan. thank you so much for tuning and we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the the

take a fresh look around. there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions fixtures designed to simplify. it will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this? but can you see through their illusion going underground again?

the headline story chip summons china is on the bottom center over a slew of harassing phone calls addressing took your release of treated nuclear waste in the pacific girl. so genes and nations across the region, as we see here over the tainted boyfriend, the french president sees, he knows supports a potential military intervention in nature as locals, in naomi voice, their anger against the former colonial power. i don't see the points for the french investigator or for from students just saying in our country, we understand that prints, survival is at stake. but since we don't want them, they have to leave.
