this point, previous a rush from europe to asia as a result of the conflicts over ukraine, the sanctions, the breaking relations with the west. that is not to say the little bridges above. we saw, for example, yesterday, and i'm scheduled to complete the unexpected and surprising meeting between vladimir approval and victor, or bought a prime minister of hungry the 1st meeting between vladimir preview and the city had only to of your opinion nation. they said also that in these tough times when relations are again as an on time little differences of renewal time. hi, it is important to maintain, will solve a salvage once a tab of relations between hungry and russia there. but also many of the leaders with met with floods may approval. but there's also on the sidelines of course on both ends road initiative forum which is as you mentioned, a massive, huge undertaking that will potentially trans full you razor and asia

from the way the business has done how goods the transport it is just building ports and railways and infrastructure, it will eventually make the flow of goods, tap labor, much easier to and from china to other nations, but also amongst all the positive pigs the nations, which is why there are a 140 countries represented here yesterday. and uh and today here in beijing, i was actually president per time giving a press conference president search and giving an opening space president through to me to with all of on it and to solve the latest. i thought he was an international pariah. but it seems that someone lied to us, that was more on god's deb, nicky. i just want to bring you in now the more i was waiting for that press conference, but i think you probably haven't done any weights and you've been busy trying to tact guests and head generally. what's being said,

i thought for him right in the center of the capital. any interesting stands out moment so far posted yet. it has been an incredibly busy day. is we try to get guess since we listed into, well, the, the world leaders are saying, but also because chinese media a so teen to speak to us to find out an outside the perspective on what china is doing with the balance and right initiative. so he's been quite busy in that way area. i was off to some of the boats and where the initiative in the phone was and i chose cooperation excess, really at the thought of everything to do with the felt invert initiative in earlier listening to the keynote speech. at the opening ceremony by president sage and think he said that right now, cooperation that would be more pressing as we were in a big stay unstable and, and such and times with the conflict. and you play in the situation, we're seeing on fold it between israel and palestine. and you said what now you

know, country should be coming together to talk to work things out to cooperate, to find an understanding. and he said that china oppose is below politics. it opposes unilateral sanctions what it stands for or the belt and what initiative in particular is development is it respects is of support. and he used a chinese proverb. he said, you know, when you give someone roses this sense, lane goes and it gives, it gives an example. it's what it's doing. the co tons i make use of the china donated more than a 100000000 face mosques. 2 countries in need. i'm going to 70 countries, we're also helping and supporting china. it's a win win mentality. now focusing on at the belt and broad initiative on this slide, days, it seems like it's one that many countries wants to be a pause doesn't always also have a common vision cars over a $140.00 countries in attendance in badging for the felts and bread for many entrepreneurs also ahead taking costs in, for instance,

well enough because you know, the success of the bells. what initiative over the past 10 years has been for you. but i mean, it just turning infrastructure projects from vision into reality. we're talking about life changing structures like highway pools of towers stations, sports stadiums, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs listing, 40000000 people out of poverty. and of course that's being criticism and one is a massive project such as the 1000 but initiative that hasn't been challenges along the way and the presidency. speaking of the lays out in a coins action plan, looking ahead is to have become these challenges. and that space the next 10 years of a 1000, but initially please, when you go phone died, you will hold an international corporation for them and cargo railways between china and all the countries together without partners will work on your logistic

corridors. it was the origin continental line on direct railway and highway transpose. as spoke to nomics, it pulls up to a 1000 rock project. a ton of development bank and the expert team for the bank of china will credit credit lines. 350000000000 chinese you on the saw across foundation will be increased by a to bit in humans as a ceo's conference of the bells and rolled initiative. the agreement signed to touching the wrong 97 feet and us told us to try it. we'll be working on sauls and small smaller projects to improve the wellbeing of the people. well on that though, so i, i'm joined by another guess we joined by ally todd who is the chairman of is may not, this is an a i a photo state company many thanks for joining us. i'm very, appreciate your time now. your hair as an entrepreneur attending one of these forms here and i understood what i heard earlier during it sees keynote speech when he list it is 8 points for developments and looking at the a i and the space development of

a i was one of those points are you had to find out more about what the future holds for your industry in china algebra. so we also, we've been in china for a while. right now. we've been strong believers, even as a con company, but as a country, as well in the event and growth, as you can see, the 140 countries here. and as the president put in rightly said that initially they were thoughts about it. but to discuss them into what the best them know to do, you can be with the rest of the countries in many countries are talking about individualism and their own interest. this has been where the functions together and fox on is being that the full fun toys of it. we've been in the past with us and within the i, we've come over to the chinese side. like you said, there was initially some criticism about sort of big loans begin to talk to and that being the agenda for the learnings at the same time as one industry, it will, it's china going into other countries developed. and the good thing in that initial gap and injection manpower technology. but with testament to the fact that it's

a 2 way road china has opened its doors up to us and the chinese market to us. and whereas in many other sectors, they would probably be a language barrier. within technology, the machine dining big data, we all speak the same language. so it's the best this to be present, especially for us, china, you know, it's, it's speaking earlier, she didn't think he seemed to have a message, a piece of how he pulled the wells, come together. if you co operate, then we can overcome these issues and, you know, see as we are in a situation with about right now where we have conflicts, what across the world i'm thinking particularly of what some we see and fold in israel and palestine. terrific images that he's calling for last spring solution, a 2 state solution, and he's also want to himself as a piece mediation. so can you try and costs as well? how do you feel about the china position itself? right. so we've always seen china, especially with, with regards to our country,

lead time. and again we've g a few in china. so it's not something which is presently happening. or the pushback is, and i did sphere to in any create or other issues. this is china. this is being china stands for a very, very long time. and as you said, this is, was rock shell foster resolution. know if i wanted to move the resolution regarding a ceasefire. china was right there with it as well. so it's not just standing together in times like these are like and on the collaborations as well. but it's actually standing together on p global points with a lot of that was would imagine where you'd sort of try in photo where everyone else is going. but china, russia and a few other countries have actually come, stood up again and done what was expected of the other countries. but a personal point of view, what are you hoping to get out to is attending this for so, so this is the 3rd for them so far and it's happening off to cove. it, it's happening in the time when a lot of things with united states changing,

it's happening at the time when a lot of was happening. and in spite of that join, i've seen approximately a 5 percent or large increase in spite of all these or so we have them to align more so within the region as well. and final expense in partnerships, you very much somebody to do and which was never decides which was mexico, canada, with the united states to our region, we have a lot of strength to get and gain from each other. and as we know, the new direction is a lot of technology is a lot of it, and that's where it's going in china known and unknown. indeed, as we in this direction and been preparing for many, many years. unlike other countries where one company that's here, for example, could be focused on the i am going in china, georgia. the one for the c comes in support of a sector, and then all the sources go behind it. and for many years it's been working in these places and we see china very soon to be filled with data. not 2nd, not the property of global data is within the spaces and data like you were saying,

you know, we've seen so many changes in the world right now, especially when it comes to the world to the with the demise of the us and the rise of china, is this, this new multi post world? how is it viewed in your home country and talking so sweet home come pretty. i mean, for us, it's a win win as many countries working together as possible, especially in the united states. russia as well, because there's so many global issues which require all of them to come together as opposed to being for the rise. and i think china has always been very open to us, that russia is also seemingly more so being open and audited statements to others. that is one. so we hope for more of a system where everyone's coming together in such a way as far as we're concerned. we're just looking together. we're looking to well, much closer together with the best and road within here finding us fence and the stronger that we get a lot of voice would be. i'm very fortunate as we speak, that i'm sitting right next to the administrative technology side this time. and

somehow it appears like this. so we're just looking at things as they go 10 places with getting headed us through. we're not doing enough. so it's great to actually be here and for a little live on the bus 11. when i was here, i was thinking that we're on here for economic reasons, but so much is going on is drive entire time time. but at the same time, seeing what they moved with a good idea of with the u. n. for the ceasefire. being part of it being part with these leaders as well. it's about them. you thanks for speaking to say really appreciate your time. thank you so much as i suggest to you more guests coming up and show up. so again, it's so interesting to hear if not 1st hand experience that in a sense of excitement, an opportunity of course a b r i seems to embody for so many people from so many nations. nicky are reporting from beijing we will see like for sure, in the meantime,

what do i monster what's happened? look at how west and politicians have taken somewhat hostile. it's on china, it's global initiatives. so class of opinions that uh, so i did a bit of a summary on how the was deals with china's vision from multi part of why. 1 i'm surprised, surprised. does not limit of competition to what does what a politician says and that's what a politician means our commitment to a stronger partnership with africa. it's not about trying to out. do anyone else? we've all heard that narrative that south africa and the continental as a whole, or the last playing field in the competition between great powers. that is fundamentally not how we see it. no, not the soul, of course not. it's just coincidence that have been cut and co have moving through that shoes, running around the wall, trying to woo nations away from patients. belton road, with what? while back in 2018. the us a straight on japan, new interesting new pond to rebuild the in the pacific. have you heard of the blue

dot net? what kind of ship? no, i'm not to point. then that was the g stipends baby bill back. that's a wild which was just job items 2020 campaign. so going to build back back to with world added on. they didn't budget for marketing. clearly, they were also quite stingy with the actual financing to not just the comparison over full years. china just one nation punched 800000000000. so the project hasn't really taken off, but not for the reasons you think, or some expense regret that the build bag badge of world slogan does not sketch enough to secure a successful branding for the interest of some experts have the full of with cautionary tales about the high expectations linked to the built back back to world initiative filled thoughts about 12. those are described itself as value scripts and all you need to make receive need a pie, which i think we can all agree is very commercially sustainable. but you also try to branch out on its own in 2021. i should have talked to the stage announcing the

global gateway. it will say values driven and democratic, of course, 2 years, all have any freedom loving highways and hospitals being built. uh no bought us enough. that's fine. you go around to a pointing the project business advisory board so. well, that's something brussels have promised 300000000000, but no one's had of wasteful to it yet. and then it turned out that those funds had already been in marks for the project. awesome. had done was taken that same money, and we packaged it under a new name, selling it as historic and innovative. there's no new money. this is the communications exercise. it's a strategy to put together what was already going to happen and presented as something new. and if our partners are tricked by these, then more full them. so not the flaw what to do when it's helped us, if you can come up with a 5, little tentative. you need to bring down the competition. we don't together latree billions of dollars in the g 7 nations to provide for alternatives to china is what

they called belts and broad initiative, which is basically a that's a news agreement that they have with p r. c has been criticized for loading poor countries up with debt refusing to re negotiate terms, and then taking control of the infrastructure itself. this is little more than a form of modern day colonialism. take, for example, russia, the price to pay for oil and gas. it is lhasa silver energy and the loss of independence. they don't want partners, they want vessels. and it's not just the kremlin tens of countries on the brink of default, because they cannot pay the depth with china, the midst of a predatory china weighing down, pull nations with adapt until that box break has spread far and wide. but it is a mess. the bunks now even by people within the us, just 12 percent of africa's external that is owed to beijing,

so to fully present to west and none does always 3 times as much. plus the west charges doubled the interest, western leaders, blaine, china for debt crises in africa. but this is a distraction. the truth is their own banks, asset managers and oil traders are far more responsible. but the g 7 are letting them off the hook. the b r i has brought infrastructure investment, an opportunity to move and a 150 countries. the g 7 and a you have brought empty, was empty pockets and political pump to the podium. the focus has been on competing with china and limiting its influence. not on building something great, just as it has for hundreds of years. the west to set out to use people as pools and it's 2 political games and for its own exclusive enrichment. it's a formula that watts for centuries. but the world has changed on people on so tolerance of being taken advantage of, especially when you woke up a day late and

a dollar sold as well. lots here talk about joint even now, all to contribute to on puts gone this cause all great. so again, what's the story behind this one? thank you. well i, i say say i promise you different shirt every day and a like jo bite and i always deliver on my problem is that you're building back with shots. i'm what i wanted to ask you is that we know, but now the washington chinese delegation is a meeting. then that's probably going to be a one on one between the russian and the chinese present. still the 2nd one on one meeting. would you expect to just come out of all spots? well, a lot of the background work is actually done before the 2 nation of national leaders have come together. you know, the significance of meeting of susan ping and putting is really just put their signature and, and, and take pictures. but a lot of the hard work of negotiation has done way before. and you know,

we are probably more expecting some announcement of some deals to be made new. i mean, we probably expect trades to be out though. i mean, you'd think that would be know what to go further. the economic ties have strength to but these are 2 nations who are clearly in it for the long run on say when it comes to deepening the relationship because they have this holistic view. i may think, okay, i think it a 100 years time, not just next to the 100. you have time both peoples can benefit from this. oh exactly, because russia and china are neighbors. neither country is moving away any time soon. and. and both leaders have recognized that and not building a relationship public trust. russia and china said those are border differences back in to thousands because they wanted to remove any obstacles, twos to the, to this friendship. and the, the, to the sino russian relationship is based on national interest. asked mister

putting it has stressed. so this is a, this is a relationship wrestling very solid foundations. and what we call the when, when upsets, we know you're told obviously about china and bush assess and that difference is back in 2000. it seems that and not the need to out the b r i is very keen to set to the difference is the direction of victim obama. hi, gary and prime minister the out. you want it to the government guest house, what president preaching to say and said, i read the salvage ties to keep out of energy. i mean, i for the president appear to have been kicked out of the gall to the european gall, to invite the chief god that joseph bro. but it looks like there is still a rational need to hanging around. the exactly, i mean you, europe is hurting right now. europe needs a rushing gas and rushing energy. the. that is the pain that your opinion is going through right now, isn't tiredly self inflicted. when the german is a vital infrastructure north stream was blown up and

a terrorist attack that what has been hurting the german economy. yet the german politicians are still going along with washington's irrational sanction, or russia, which only drives that jeremy industrialists to america, i mean united states is essentially cannibalizing its allies to shore up its own economy. and any sensible european leaders should have recognizes an acting according to their own national interest. that's what victor obama is doing. you know, you told her about the u. s. cannibalizing it's your pin allies. i think they have a very different interpretation of kissing just such and he to, if you are america's enemy, a can be dangerous, but to be america's ally can be faith. so i'm on the other hand, we hudson shooting ping today talking about how tighter is out to you, a very peaceful nation. and i think that's and quite right and pointed to the great lou. this was built for defensive purposes. and yet you look at the media and you

would think the sheets and paying himself is about to leave the p l a. i didn't know across the south china sea and head onto to taiwan. i mean it's, it's, it's really quite a nefarious message and coming out of the west isn't a, it's entirely 1984 where right now, where is piece. the fact is, china has not flawed away in the last 30 years. were as you look at the track record of us, libya, iraq, afghanistan, and now we have a mess in the middle east that is from the us on policies doing. there has already no position to criticize china. i'm, you know nikki, is our correspondent, is in beijing, she's out the form itself. and i've been looking at all the images. there's so many people around town. she's touching guess that's so excited. i'm really, it's when you listen to possible stories about how i keep coming, and i'm just, it's amazing that i can speak to the minister of technology from

a foreign nation that this is accessible, that we've all come together and we share this vision. i mean, it's in a still nation fee, what beijing has done most of the last 10 years, but we were talking about this it's, it's been going on much longer. it's just now which sort of a pick proportions. and i can't think of another country that has not just the results is at its disposal, but it also has such a good, well, a monk, some money, but it can bring them on boats. exactly. is there a 150 nations attending the ballad enrolled for on the absent? are that you a suspect washington and it's fast, so stays recruit, correct? they're not really allies in ice, a washington. they're no equal partners, they're only vassals. and this is the, the difference between the washington will poach and, and belt and road initiative, because belding ro, initially emphasizes on the quality and respect for sovereignty. and finally, i just want to get your thoughts. i mean,

and when i was talking about the different western attempts to use up china as belts and birth, they will failed largely because in my opinion they will not invested in doing it. what they want to do was just to any costs, just top of the china, one of the key mets that trop miss. what's your response to that? well, lucky, what is the alternative for you? us bite and announce built back the world better. back in 2021. what all of it, it's 2 years later that does yours. you great. western politics the great ad promises and also great at not delivering them. you know, well, we will be back to discuss a lot more president, perchance press conference of the some more what the felton road is all about and what it brings to so many people i was cause all to contribute. so i'm political on this. we'll see very soon in the meantime, like i said, a very hard working correspondent, nicky aaron spoke with swish twist and john list on caught them this guy in the time who says that the b r i initiative paul gets shot prosperity with no limits to

countries around the world, a $100000.00 reminiscences. it's been criticized by some european countries. i accuse the china of creating a debt tron for some countries. they say that that exists and gets influence on other countries and those so it concerns about the, the environmental impact on this project. all these solid you don't, you don't have dissipating go when i am here since now one week i probably super, too many meetings. media forms are thinking about the best and what the initiative and i get disputing because lots of people, you know, and lots of countries, there are more than 100 countries. 15155 countries participate for the home the world. so i think there is no 6 hours. so the problem is the

west, the west of the countries all now sit there waiting for me to sign. not because for instance, you could wish on for a shell prosperity allowance to last week by president susan. that's to come on board is a sale post barely 2 story points presented uh 5 instances to sarah so it's up to every country to pump this nor limited published well, that's how things are shaping up here in the east. like i said, we are expecting that press conference from president putin very soon, so check back in as we will be sure to bring you the very latest from china.

the, [000:00:00;00] the,

[000:00:00;00] the, by the middle of the 20th century, the portuguese colonial empire was in an acute crisis. a particularly 10 situation had developed in mozambique the people of this country were put in a humiliating position, income inequality ramp, and illiteracy. this respect by the portuguese for the local traditions led to a mass on rent. in 1964, the liberation front of mozambique for a limo began its armed struggle for freedom. the regular army was not easy to resist, but the guerrillas inflicted considerable damage on the invaders through the fighters against the colonial regime were supported by the soviet union and china. whereas the united states and great britain took the side of the invaders, the board to gaze responded to the guerrillas attacks with cruel counter insurgency

. however, 3 limos, 10 year courageous struggle was a success after the over throw the fascist regime in portugal in 1974. the new authorities surrendered a year later, lisbon fully recognized the independence of mozambie, but the victory had been aimed at a high price during the war, mozambique had lost tens of thousands of and sons and daughters

the, the known in vietnam, the american war, the vietnam war lost it for almost 2 decades and drained in numerous countries. nor does he have written down. then you don't see it now. why? it's all on the empty, hundreds of thousands of american troops was sent to the country to bank the south vietnamese on me. i thought about that not, but the american soldiers murdered resistors, most of us like the down entire villages and spread dangerous chemicals and li bye. all right. did the americans ever fully acknowledge what they did and on the

vietnamese veterans ready to forgive? yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a ways to to but yeah, the, the beginning with disturbing images here. what not to international knowledge is really striking. deborah states off hospital and gaza reportedly killing at least 800 civilians. among them women, children, and the elderly. the
