i'm, i'm a script in the region the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross stock. were all things are considered on peter level. one era is coming to an end and another one is coming into being as the west and it's global institutions decline. bricks is position to fill the void. the west is forever in search of enemies. well, briggs promotes trade and development. essentially, a win win approach the

prospecting bricks. i'm joined by my guess, one go on in beijing. he is a journalist and tv host at cvt in under the china media group, also in beach and we have on our center. he is a senior fellow at the ty, hey, institute as well as the chairman of asia narratives. and in new delhi we cross the policy sharma, she is managing editor of 1st post and network 18 right across type roles and effect. that means you can jump any time you want, and i would just appreciate with due respect to the gentleman on the panel, i am a very conservative man, so i will go to ladies. first we will go to new delhi of health care. i think it's very interesting is that in 2001 at golden sacks a, an investment uh firm. they came up with the acronym brakes and it was basically a vehicle to invest or plunder whatever word you want into the developing world. and now we have the 16 summit breaks in house on is quite amazing. and the idea that was born in the west has been taken over and developed by the global south. i

think that's a very interesting chronology. go ahead. it is indeed on the bus and will find the town about and he has said that i don't see the point of this group anymore. a boss from the fact that the us is not a trip. so the rest is watching what the ricks is doing. and the bricks has half a, the, the number of members, as soon as you know, and this is the thought that, that people seen being talked about and discussed. the brakes last smell consist of stan, emerging economies representing more than 45 percent of the, the population that nearly 27 percent of the was gdp. so the potential is immense. and having said that, the bricks needs to do a lot of work. the stroke of the, the invitation to a stroke of getting more members in the stroke of building an alternative border. so a very ambitious agenda that the rich countries have set for themselves of the hope that they won't be get of both off one more effective and they are able to solve the problems that the rest and the rest of the lead order has not been able to

solve that one in beijing, i mean a lot of whatever cut it, but little coverage that gets in the west. it is. this is a counter block of russia, china block india block against the west. that is a mis characterization of bricks. as matter of fact, it's just the opposite. it doesn't look for a confrontation like the west does the west as hyper aggressive right now in bricks is a breath of fresh air saying no trade in development. an alternative institutions that are not controlled by the west is the way forward. i think that's very a very simple message. that's why i think bricks will eventually work. go ahead envisioning a yes, i mean, breaks is not western, but breaks is not anti west. exactly. i mean, it's too much attention is focusing or rather speculating on what brakes might be against. it's time that the paul talked about what brakes is actually for it is for

development. it is for peace and a 6 for making people to people, bonding and connections. i mean, if you look at a new development bank, for example, formerly known as the break spike over the spend, the past 10 years has granted some $35000000000.00 worth of loans to the global south. but um, you know, financing some 105 projects, so we're talking about roads, bridges, airports, and railways, and also agriculture. you know, i was visiting brazil last year and for example, we were pleasantly surprised by the chinese loan pink see technology noise in the home ping technology that is helping proceeding corn to double and triple there. yeah. what's with the, in a given piece of land that the chinese technology is accounting for over 60 percent . the presenting course market share, stuff like that is about development is about making people's lives better. so i think there has been a whole lot of speculation that mischaracterized ation off or whatever little coverage that is granted to the brakes. like you said,

that kind of green more pete or the west needs anatomy. the western military industrial complex needs an enemy. i lived in the, depending on the area for some 8 years as the washington correspondent. and there's has been a whole lot of corruption within the military industrial complex and against the wishes and warnings of dwight eisenhower lacey us leader. the they, the complex has ever been expanding. so is it the, are paying? so they have been expanding their ne, til under the guidance of the us and look what happened now that's what happened. now. i know that basically, you know, one of the interesting things is that the, the west likes to peddle a rules base order, but the rule space order only benefits the few at the expense of the many. and it seems to me that the bricks proposition is just the reverse. go ahead or well, you know, very well that the united states has an empire. we've only been a piece for 231 of 248 years. we solve our problems by taking things

from other people, any challenges viewed as a threat and will be met with excess. i go ahead and warranted a response of it is just part of our nature because this is where we are in history . the question is, will we ever transition to civilization when we start thinking about managing the things that we have like our poverty, the fact that we have so many, 10 point one percent poverty, 30 percent of our people can rebuild it above the 3rd grade level. there are so many things wrong with the united states, but we don't pay attention to them. we try to look outside for enemies to blame for whatever is going wrong with in our country. you know, but in the policy, the, one of the, the, and you've already mentioned in your 1st dancers about institutions. and, you know, again, when i talk about brakes with people in the west, again, they're saying is, is, is this a military block is, is confrontational. and i've already told a man,

i've always tried to explain it. imagine a world beyond the west, not against the west. but beyond it, you know, financial institutions, de dollarization and you know, i, i'm always the be countered by what the dollar is, a safe a currency. and i said, well, if you're a foreign country and you have dollars or a company, you can say sanctions. and i think this is what's given the the breaks the impetus because, i mean, if they, they still venezuelan of gold, they still russian assets. they can steal your assets to, i mean, if, if this isn't a call for greater unity and breaks, i can think of a better one. go ahead and you dally the right to. oh, in fact, i think that's something that the nation president fulton also raised the bridge to do the dollar rise to, to challenge the huge many of the rest and a banking system. and we've seen what happened with sift which was supposed to be a nonpartisan group, but, but it was a recognized against a construction brand so, so that really is

a challenge. but for you must also be mindful of the fact that the us dollars to accounts for almost 60 percent of products is of the world over and why we talked about the dollar i vision and this, this john has been used and discussed at length for years now uh the, the, the progress has been limited because there are very many challenges even within the break. so i think the biggest challenge for the bricks as a group is to ensure that all the members are on the same page, that we are able to offer consensus on basic issues of union type industry. talked about bringing in the u. b. i as, as an alternative and that is something that can be used, but then again, a lot of questions to need to be honest. that's why i think the maybe moving in the right direction. that other lot also, or friends that still need to be figured out and what they're going to do, how much technology are they going to share and what sort of trust? most importantly, bricks members can ensure amongst each other to be able to,

to create a platform that will, all of us will benefit from now one well in, in, in beijing i think one of the biggest problems for me, when you and i, when i think about bricks developing is that, um, most countries in the world because of being from the information infrastructure they learned about other countries. brick increase, learned about other bricks, countries through western media, games like reuters and things like that. this is a kind of information infrastructure that i think is really, really pressing right now, because i don't want to learn about india through american media. i mean, you're exactly right. uh, to be honest with you. i was a big fan of our indian friends, the projects in the i, i went on youtube and watches her show often. and so it is with yours, the cross dot com, but i think we need yes, content medians of understanding of. by that, i mean the language is because within breaks into a break, so we have

a diverse range of countries. the civilizations and cultures represented that is great. but on the other hand, that creates a problem. that is, we need a unified voice, a unified medium all into understanding because rely on the western sources of information. look at what, what can happen any of this information. this information uh, simplistic narratives and noam chomsky pointed this out other than arguably anyone else could have done 40 years ago in his famous book of manufacturing consent saying that the there and the many not conditions of censorship within the united states. although the us will never own up to dfcs one, never loved the word, the censorship. i mean, you've got to have, uh donors, you've got to have a finance years from day corporations, you've got to have a good relations with the white house spokesperson that you get to sit in the front row instead of in the bank kicked out. like gotcha. and the cost of cnn once was by donald trump, so on, so forth. so yes, we need better mechanisms. you know,

what's that encouraging is there, if you're in beijing right now, like i do, you will be encouraged to see how many russians and indians, or south african studying the chinese language and vice versa. a lot of chinese are studying in johannesburg in st. petersburg to dispatch, despite the western sanctions against russia. so people to people bonding is very important with color and each other more through the filters through the filters. the filters are bad. filters are misleading, and filters are, are counterproductive. i know basically the same question to because i think they, the key word here is under standing. i mean they, they the bricks countries. note with the threats of the west. again, you know, the, the, the collective west is at war in one form or another with russia. it's better to stand together than stand alone. and i think that's a message of, of the last 2 years. you know, i think the grad phrases, it's better to if, if you don't hang together, you'll hang separately. right. um yeah, i mean there,

there is other things i'm, i'm a part of them. i'm a senior fellow to tie her institute. we hold the civilization for him and we've done this for the last 10 years and that's exactly what we're talking about is the kind of communication that is necessary. the confusion said we're blessed with 2 years and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we say. and that applies to china as well as other countries to china has a, you know, a primary trade relationship with 140 countries unfortunately, but the chinese know very little about the countries there, there, it's improving as i find, uh, i'm sorry, i have to i have to jump in here, we're going to have to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on britain stay with our to

the, [000:00:00;00] the in 1943 at the height of world war 2, bengal was hit by famine. a year before japanese groups drove the rate is out of neighboring bermount and came close to the indian possessions of the british empire . london's response to the threat was completely inadequate. the british actively used the scorched earth policy. while retreating, they turned everything around them into an uncouth desert, having no mercy on other people's territory. food in large amounts was exported to great britain from the starving provinces. boats used for fishing and transporting food along the river system work confiscated from the local population. the barbaric actions of the colonial administration,

latham of monstrous consequences can a year up to 3800000 people die from starvation and disease caused by mail nutrition. though great britain itself had enough resources to overcome that disaster. at the same time, 170000 tons of australian wheat made its way past starving india did the british aisles. i hate indians. they are a beastly people with a beastly religion. the famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits, british prime minister, winston churchill commented on the reports of the tragedy. the famine of 1943 became the climax in the british policy of genocide against the indian population. according to historians, from 12 to 29000000 people overall died from starvation alone during the reign of the british in india. the bedroom,

those will be always believed that license a full circle there will be as ups and downs india before the british was the richest nation with the highest gdp in the work. and why did the 100 years of what it is truly bring it to this low or some 50, attracting the leap. so to you it's banking the ideas going deeper, but there's no right to be my property. my, i don't, my god, we went through all of our big spaces, i was see, could spaces off. sam pointed out the spaces inside the wood loot also is like in the wood, which is now closer to the english,

the big city. so quite selling lead. even the, in the words have been looted into the english lexical of the welcome, ect. across the dock where all things are considered on peter la belcher menu, we're discussing breaks the okay. when they go back, i know are in, in beijing or one of the interesting phenomena and thinking about brakes. and i'm, i was a trained to the story and, and so you know, the history is important at the end, but it always is important where your starting point is that it breaks is, is challenging in a constructive way, i would say. but i mean, the post world war 2 order that was created in 1945, but if you would prefer to take a much broader look, i think it's,

we're seeing 500 years of western domination of the globe be coming to an end and mostly took that by its own its own demise, its own unforced errors. but that is this, that's a huge shift. it's a paradigm shift and we're all lucky. i think it to be witnesses. they'll see that happening. as i said in my introduction, one more world is coming to an end and another one is coming in to be go ahead. uh yeah theres been 600 years of uh basically you got colonial uh efforts uh basically pushed forward by the ability to use canons and weapons that were superior to the world was conquered by the europeans and then after them the americans. so we're seeing the decline of that and that whole model was based on if i have the power, i make the rules, i don't have to abate them, but you certainly do. and that is being changed, this multi color world, where a lot of the countries are used to have the majority of the g d p. for instance,

you know, india had 24 percent of the world, cdp in the area that encompasses india. today. when the british left, they had 4 percent, so it gives you the kind of idea of the ravages. i think it's, i mean, you know, people in the west think that africa was a bunch of savages. that actually they had a civilization stating backs thousands of years before anybody and um, europe was even thinking beyond the, you know, the rolling of stone around. so, i mean there's so many as you were pointing out earlier asking the question, there's a, there's a real information. there's this information out there that has basically made anybody who is not whites and part of europe somehow or less or being. and we're seeing that very clearly in gaza for some reason when somebody is killed then in ukraine and they're white. it's a huge tragedy. it's

a moral issue. but when thousands of children and women are being slaughtered there because they're not the right color, it just doesn't matter. so yes, it's a positive change. we need to start thinking about civilizational values, how we manage amongst ourselves, how we understand that there are differences, but we can live with them kind of, of westphalia and idea. so hopefully that will take its course sooner, rather than later. okay, that i think is all i'm as a was what i know i had to say because um, you know, when we in, in the west they have talked for decades about the rise of china. um, but we know we are looking at many of the countries in breaks. it is the re emergence of these countries, the re emergence of their cultures and civilization on a, on a global scale. you know, the like, you know, indian africa, appropriate examples. you know, or the western mindset debate, there's a, there's a certain framing of them which doesn't match reality at all. and bricks gives them

the strength to show you know, that we're part of a global community. but it's not designed and controlled by the west. and the less control from the west, the better it can be. i think all of you have and 1st of all, let me, let me think of michael panelist from china for the compliment and thank you for watching of us post. you've all very, very comprehensively and convincingly argued that the rest and media and shows that we, i'm sorry, we see each other to filters. um that that's q our understanding of each other in the global south. uh and, and within the bricks grouping. and that needs to change and we need to be able to speak for ourselves to each other and, and can read the message directly. and that's very, very important. and yes, it does not. so the rest to talk about our v margins because that's not a narrative. that suits them and for years, for decades, the other ones will set the narrative it's, it's important to change that it does not happen overnight,

but it will happen with the concerted efforts from all sides. so so that of having said that, i also want to bring in here be the point that live the rest as a problem all within the brakes to be there are differences and there are challenges that if we under please read on the risk of turning it into yet another talk, so yeah, that i am doing fine. now that has just signed the border deal and now things are looking better and that they weren't looking so good in the last uh, photo ideas. there are uh there is there sounds really behind and these on a that's what i'm to not very long ago. so i'm enemies and, and then there was a coming together and it approach small and i get there obviously was that needs to be settled. so i think it's important to acknowledge and address the challenges and the differences in insecurity and a national interest priorities of each 6 member brings to the table. if we don't do that, then we like i said, run the risk of not being able to uh,

to exploit the full potential of a dispute that has been built over the years. yeah, well, i'm gonna jump in, jump in, go right ahead, but i don't go ahead. i just, i just re slightly from this point of view. i think the strength of breaks is it does not bring in the political side because if you start doing that, then it becomes united many united nations. and that hasn't worked out very well as long as it's 6 to trade. it can bring in other countries. countries that will not normally get along like in south south africa. i mean south america in africa itself, in the middle east. there's not uniformity. there are the many differences, but if you make it about territory and you know, areas of influence, you will bog it down. if it's just about opening up trait and have element, i think there's a chance for success. well, i absolutely agree. i mean, the good jump in, go ahead, go ahead. i just want to say the truth cannot be conducted in

a vacuum. create is just one dimensional relationship that a country has with another country or another group of if i could give an example of buck is dog, which is which is in the doldrums, economically and very keen to the stop trade with india and just position has been very clear that federalism and trade do not go hand in hand so we don't want any of it. i think it's important to, to acknowledge that countries have a multi dimensional integration with each other. and you cannot take one aspect out and see that this is all that you're going to focus on, irrespective of what you do with us. look at the border or in, in, in a security situation. that is not how i can try to. but i think, i think the approaches, i but i think the one that let me go back to you and basically i, i think the approach is, is i do what's doable. i mean, it's not a panacea. brakes is not gonna solve all the world's problems. okay. um, but what brits can do when i think the help of the brakes is that it can make decisions on its own. you know,

for the last 600 years the world needs the west. permission to do things? bricks are saying, no, we're winning ourselves off. is we gotta wait ourselves off the, off the dollar, for example. we're going to trade in our own currencies that gives you freedom. that gives you sovereignty. go ahead to give you solvency and also digging it to you talk about the dominance us us dollars. uh, it is increasingly becoming a tool for the us that's specifically the us treasury department to really control and manipulate and dominate the rest of the world. and. and the funny thing is, the irony of it all is us sanctions, oftentimes the feats as purpose. it's not me who said it's a super rock obama, who said it was john kerry who said that after they retired, you like to be think about the us sanctions against cuba. what happened to cuba? average monthly salary of cubans averaging $30.00 to $50.00 a year. what happened to you round after the us anxious, and you know,

the run the economy contracting 20th and 2019 by 8 to 7 to 9 percent respectively. and to venezuela under the us sanctions. um, you know that the us anxious lied to a 3000 percent of inflation in that very country and even brock obama. i think during his tenure as president does, said the us sanctions, the us sanctions against cube i police defeats the purpose. so yeah, you're, you know, you're pointing to a larger question of whether the rest that should succumb to the dominance of the west. i think china has been and therefore breaks where that neither i think is working consistently to say that to look the west can be our partner on breaks is not the exclusive partnership, but the inclusive one. and when it comes to the argument between our inner and my indian friend regarding the debate between security and development, i think the 2 things really go handy hand best way in the present. she's global development initiative and global security initiative are concurrently proposed. and i think that's very important because he can not have you know,

piece without the ports or without bridges, with safe drinking water without gender equality. and also one last thing she should i add, which is focusing more, which should be focusing more on the sustainable development, goes to the united nations, 17 of them, antonio quoterush even said we're failing and badly when it comes to the as the cheese breaks, talks about stds breaks talk about the development. i think we should really move away from the, the, the logical uh, the bates and, uh, you know, uh you know, good talking to each other through the filters. we should be focusing on those developmental issues. think about the 17 stages. i know 10 years from now. hopefully bricks will be having a summit in one of their member countries. what, what do you hope bill succeeded in achieving in the next 10 years? i think i traded developments in some sort of uniform of trade agreement that

covers them that reduces terrace that allows these countries do it. i think the biggest opportunity that is out there, if you start looking at small micro, small, medium size business entities the world over. they are the backbone of all economies. the digital revolution promises or has the least the potential to link the small entities and to unleash incredible amount of energy that they provide to every single economy that's out there. imagine a world where you simply fill out a form and that form is the basis for contract. it covers who is responsible for what you either view a and b don't agree that they want to be responsible, but they want to go ahead. they find somebody else who will take the responsibility and therefore you get rid of a lot of lawyers, a lot of accounts. if you have a digital currency taxation is at the point of transaction. you can then have the bills of it. you don't need bills of lading,

you don't need to cover some contracts. and all of this you can have various smart systems that actually monitor both sides to make sure one can pay and the other one will produce you a if you are able to do that low brakes. i think you'll see a completely changed world one that is much better for everybody. well, and hopefully a lot more peaceful. ok. i'm not, i, i'm going to think about, you know, the, the, the problem, the problem of turning this into a little you and i think that's something we have to think about as well. but in the meantime, i wish breaks all the success and all of us here on the panel. i want to thank our guests engaging and a new dally. and of course, i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at archie. see you next time. remember, prospect the,

the, the take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distorted by tell us to, to vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really one say better wills. and is it just as a chosen for you? fractured images, presented as fast. can you see through their illusions, going underground can

the whole from the fi, you know, just like dozens of other ukrainian souls might have gone unnoticed. but the pirates contacted journalist to ensure this boils would go public. and so the name of the ship, the home, the biggest shipment of arms, became known over the world. and we'll address this issue on the other 350 tonka face to fellow grabs. for example, hostile them there is to pick this up at a booger. assume there's the phone here, somebody me on the safe to realize that i'm going through my phone when i've asked me to follow up in ensure any of us that we know you have any problem with the put in motion like that it was a know what the feeling unscrupulous to people special for kaiser nomics, but similar to before stuff is not the thing on the score. and that's the most new publish it. it's a little the promotional and let's go i it's
