the danger they feel is, uh, very deep, because japanese notions of perfection are in the world. i already spoke about it. they are based on the principles of harmony and balance. yes, there was a very convenient niche to sit under the american umbrella, and as it turns out, the umbrella is something relative, because recently archival research has found that, in general, the americans did not take on themselves anywhere. yes, they are not obliged to protect the japanese there with nuclear weapons, but this does not appear anywhere. oh, and besides, the americans themselves. they constantly remind the japanese that they must bear more share pay take responsibility and so on and so forth. trump generally stated that the japanese are dependents. the issues are that this is the true equality of free hands in some specific operations. and here, uh, here is the line that u does not yet give u to the japanese precisely from an internal point of view, because in order to cross this it is necessary to radically reconsider. the security treaty

that everyone thinks is the sacred cow, but that's until something happens . and these things are already on the horizon is unclear, what will happen in taiwan is unclear, what will happen sooner if it happens in korea. i think even faster than some story with taiwan. uh, how to be japanese, well, yes, in the first korean war in 1950, they were a stronghold and logistics support for american operations, but with the potential for what could happen. there it is unequivocally turning into a target in any case, what to do then, therefore, now there is talk that japan wants to untie its hands to take a decision there that they can inflict preventive blows. what is so far legislative and it is possible for me, and i am also convinced that this, in general, is not so much outwardly. how many domestic japanese issues, once a consensus is reached. what should be done inside japan? it will be done. well and then in this context, naturally a question. here we are doomed with the japanese, well, hostility in

this new world, or are there options? i think there is definitely an option. i believe that we are doomed to cooperation. eh, and in general the whole history of our relationship. she is rather tragic in this sense, because a-a those heydays of our relations, which were they were. uh were interrupted either out of stupidity or by uh, well, i don’t know, there, in this case, the russian side of some japanese features, and so on. well, look at the fourteenth year, when there was the first world war. we were basically allies. and if it weren’t for japanese weapons there, but for artillery and orisaki rifles, there would be no brusilov breakthrough, few people know about this, but here’s a wonderful story about it. there, konstantin sarkizov recently published a book last year. that's it about these things are little known, but nevertheless. it is. and yes, then

all these things happened, and so on. and if we talk about yes, yes , recent, uh, times, let's say, but the second world war, you understand, when the japanese minister of national affairs matsuka flew to stalin, he signs a wonderful, uh, treaty of neutrality. and then catch him, in general, preached the idea. she didn't ride with hoffers not infamous, but she spoke of being ideal for peace and stability. this is the berlin axis, moscow tokyo ah, and this is a geopolitical given and this construction she didn't go anywhere. but if we talk about what is real and everything else is real, as it seems to be in japanese constructions, partly even in american e, it flashes that a more stable construction for e, such a serious and important region, as the asia-pacific is not a triangle where e is. uh, moscow-beijing and the

united states, and in this square , japan can and should occupy. thank your side. sergey agafonov was with us after the advertisement, let's move to africa, they say a lot, don't leave. your first savings card before the end of the year and get a 15% cashback with bonuses from other partners check out online and who brings gifts for the new year grandpa baby and grandma frost mom frost and dad frost brother, frost dog frost grandfather, baby you are not

a presentation from south africa sirial ramofos was elected the leader of the african national congress of the ruling party of south africa for the second time a complicated scandal with money of strange origin, in the center, which he did not interfere with, as now yegor probably will not interfere with the second presidential term, one of the most influential countries in africa, a member of the brix she, by the way, is now there and the chairman of africa as a whole in the spotlight, 2022,

emphasized the importance of the continent not only as a reservoir of raw materials and a source of not the best news. well, as a major political entity in washington, a week ago, the us africa summit ended with a resounding biden event. he tried, as best he could, to convince the black continent to turn his back on russia from america; however, he was not alone in such efforts. mid-december at the white house joe biden hosted the second u.s. africa summit, which invited 49 african leaders, did not invite the heads of burkina faso guinea mali and sudan, where recent coups took place, the american president promised the black continent, large-scale investments in clean energy, infrastructure and digitalization, weiden said he supports accession african union to the g20 and the permanent membership of one of the

african countries in the un security council over the next 3 years, the us administration intends to invest in the economy of african countries 55 billion dollars of us trade with african countries in the period from 2008 to 2021. decreased by more than half from two to 604 billion. the volume of trade between the eu countries and africa also almost doubled, if in 2011 it was 405 billion dollars, then in 2020 only 282 billion in february of this year, a two-day summit of the european and the african union adopted an investment assistance package of more than 150 billion euros until 2030, which includes funding for joint projects in the field of green energy climate change and nature conservation, as well as health care

and education, china-africa bilateral trade now stands at $254 billion african exports. reached a record 160 billion. half of the trade turnover is accounted for by the five leaders of south africa nigeria angola egypt and the democratic republic of the congo under the one train one way initiative china finances the construction. pull six thousand kilometers of railways and highways were laid; about 20 seaports and over 80 large energy facilities, russia's trade turnover with the country is not comparable with the us eu and china. this is about 20 billion dollars, russia's main trading partners on the continent are egypt algeria john with all three countries. russia has declared a strategic partnership. russia cooperates with

countries in the field of safety of nuclear energy in agriculture and technology. we will talk about what is happening in africa with an excellent connoisseur andrei maslov worked for many years in african countries, and now he is the head of the center for african studies at the higher school of economics andrey good afternoon a lot has been heard about africa now just in different contexts. and here, i have a question. this is because africa has become, so to speak, the subject of world politics. that is, it manifests itself or because, on the contrary, to it, as an object, the interest of those who want to somehow exploit it has increased. you know both. it seems to me, that is, on the one hand, of course. africa growing importance of africa as markets, uh, more people they earn money there on deliveries, yes, with the pleasure of fertilizers of various energy carriers. uh, and uh, a growing population and

a growing majority economy. weird. of course, they attract attention, but on the other hand, yes, subjectivity also manifests itself, because for the last 10 years, approximately, we have seen that africa has been trying to take a consolidated position on almost all issues of international politics by voting on some general approach to the climate process, they are trying to be together, so yes, how it turns out, because it is known that relations between different african countries. well, let's just say uneven. on the one hand, yes, on the other hand, you see open conflicts. lately. no, even the ethiopian retreat is such a most revealing example, they have now completely overcome the legacy of the war and, uh, are the closest closest allies in practice, but the rivalry. well, how can i say for

leadership for who in africa is the main one between them and there is, yes, but you know it more with such a hidden character, that is, they are trying too not feel. this is although yegor and egypt and nigeria see themselves in different ways, how each presents himself as the leader of the continent. but, uh, this is all more for the benefit of integration, because as everyone strives to lead africa, he promotes certain integration platform projects. and in the end it works for the common cause of unification. one way or another, everyone has it. yes, of course, yes, they have a trip 263, and in the creation of virtually one such. the economic space is good for russia, africa also somehow opened up in a new way this year, the political significance has also increased, but more and more about the economy was persuaded. and now it turned out that this is a

fairly noticeable world political force. here is the russian agenda in all its manifestations. she is there, as far as in demand, we generally understand what they want. even you know, by voting, there is 51% of russia's support over the past 8 years. this provided, africa that is, not only now, but before that too, well, since the fourteenth year, all these politically sensitive resolutions that were put on sombley genes, uh here is the last one that we put forward in the fight against fascism. yes, here it is, too, thanks to the africans, so to speak. of course , africa is important for russia, it is also a market, and we have earned $100 billion in africa over the past 10 years. this is how you become a trading balance. you make that kind of money, you need to, of course, uh, pay more attention. i'm talking about economics again. yes, this is again about the economy, but i just wanted to ask

what, well, i have an idea, really. i also came across that the role of the soviet union there the anticoana struggle against the soviet union is valued very highly. no for more than 30 years. and maybe someone, out of inertia , perceives russia in the same way, well, in fact, of course, i understand that russia is different, so what remains of these advantages in political terms, or is it we ourselves will come up with, what we are expected and loved there. do you know how it turned out that the soviet union helped the african strange get away from brilliant addiction, and this process has not yet been completed. that is, it continues they e continue to build their statehood. they see us as a natural ally, as a center of power that can help them become independent, but they do not pretend to replace the former metropolis. that is, if we hmm continue

this line here, we help them to become independent, but at the same time, do not offer us some kind of new dependence in exchange for the old one, then it will be. such a demand is suitable, yes, china well, firstly, financially, because, of course, china has now become the main creditor of africa and a lot infrastructure projects that they are implementing with their own money, and due to this, debt is accumulating and now it’s not very good, firstly, china has stopped increasing this assistance to africa over the past few years and now africans, of course, also felt it. yes? secondly, it is not clear how china will dispose of this tool that it now has, because these debts

need to be repaid and, well, reverse payments are already underway. and it’s not clear how these relations will develop, we get then we compete with us or in different planes of different niches because the chinese are interested in buying resources and energy metals. everything is practically, there are ores. uh, copper mare, there are rare earth metals, they all mean the supply of industrial products, and russia is more grain fertilizer. e pipes. rental wood, that is, this niche, that is, we practically do not compete with them economically anywhere. eh, the political ones are also more likely, on the contrary, we know the same regimes somewhere, so we are interested in having both russia and china support them, but we see that they are russian. eh, how to say the services in the field of security,

which have now begun to be offered to a number of countries, they cause in europe, especially in france. well, just some kind of bestial reaction. that is, they can’t see it to such an extent that i just can’t eat amplification. the african states themselves are required to solve security problems, and again, here it is, helping russia. she is in training. there are the same there, uh, instructors. yes, they help to build the security of the service system. these african countries and europe it has never been interested in africans solving security problems themselves. they just like them more when there are conflicts and there is an opportunity. here, due to the moderation of these conflicts, somehow influence politics, that is, weak weak states. er with er, strong centrifugal tendencies, conflicts among themselves, er, various

radical movements. they arrange them as a system. on monday, december 19, the dutch prime minister mark rute, on behalf of his country, officially apologized for slave trade to countries that were under the rule of the dutch colonial empire in the 17th to 20th centuries, the slave trade was one of the key factors in the prosperity of the netherlands . caribbean countries and french president emmanuel macron during a july trip to cameroon benin and guinea wrote, but unlike the netherlands, great britain, spain and portugal, who left their colonies once and for all, france preferred a orchestrated withdrawal per day back in the middle of the last century, eight african

statesmen burkins, niger sinegal, at the suggestion of paris, formed a monetary union regulated by its own central bank, half of its assets placed in french banks and began to print banknotes on its territory, and unlike algeria, which completely got rid of from french troops. in 1962, these african countries themselves invited former colonizers to fight local islamist groups in january 2013. france launched an anti-terrorist operation in praying for 2 months, the french are bleaching the islamist in the cities of the gau. and for those who, by july, the government troops of the moth were able to establish complete control over the country in august 2014 france and the armed forces of burkina faso mauritania niger, and the chad launched the longest and most expensive counter -terrorist operation called

barchan paris spent about 700 million euros a year on their military presence in the central african republic, the french were engaged in training local military, well, in at the moment, france is not yes africa is now the french military is systematically leaving the black continent on december 15 this year, they left the capital of the central african republic banks, but four worlds together. they left their prayers. in the same nigeria there, but with a population of 200 million people, the whole parade. there are power structures, there are 100,000. they certainly, well, struggle to cope with uh any uh, any movement towards the stream there, which originates somewhere on the periphery. she m-m immediately say so. uh, causes the ruler to lose

control over the whole, there is territory, there belgium or the netherlands are just areas, in fact, it’s even hard to imagine 200 million. well, after all, we are used to the fact that we are a big country, the rest are still small, but if in terms of population, then they look at some countries, there okay, weeks, as if younger. i don't know it turns out that's where the mail demographic is. yes, yes, yes, 15 million was in the sixtieth year, when i received independence there was an example of a minister now. that 's 60 years. well, but we are with such trends we understand where the majority of the world will live, i don’t know there in 150 years. of course, because the congo is the same area as western europe, and now, when it is populated, like western europe, there will be 400 million people, then it will develop there. uh, favorable conditions,

infrastructure. all fast. i wonder what will happen at that moment in russia and andrey maslov was with us in africa, as you know, sharks in africa are gorillas. and there is also wonderful tea. your obedient servant, for example, considers it the best from kenya, our author irene wangi the producer of black tea not only on the african continent, but throughout the world in terms of production, the country is second only to china and singapore, the warm, humid climate allows you to harvest tea, here all year round, some farmers even have their own tea traditions. robert's family is a guitarist from the muranga region, has been growing tea for more than half a century, he inherited his father's craft, and he inherited from his grandfather and in the spirit of family tradition. i preferred the tea business about work. in the agrasy office in lidatuz maydans, my father was a zaulogue and was fond of whose leadership at eighty

fourth. he planted in his area. since then, the first tea bush has not ceased to grow it; today it works, buys and equips tea farms. himself cultivates the soil in 2008. robert in china planted a new purple variety of tea on his plantations, like any other, be it black and green or moon, it belongs to the family, camellia synansis, but purple-violet, and not green, purple tea began to be planted along the equator, where it receives 12 hours of sunshine a day all year round. wherein collecting such tea is not an easy task; everything is done manually from each tea bush. we pluck only the top two leaves and the buds in the bottom rows are almost devoid of nutrients and benefits as production expands. we tried using machine heat treatment of tea, but noticed that because of this, it began to lose its beneficial properties and returned to the old

traditional method according to the guitar. today, kenya is the absolute leader in the production of purple tea. and if ordinary consumers buy it out of curiosity, then signs due to its special healing properties, it is considered to be more beneficial than black tea, since its leaves contain a large amount of anthocyanins, a purple pigment, which is believed to help prevent cancer and heart disease declines. weight and blood pressure robert china's only regret is that purple tea is not in demand in the domestic market, most kenyans do not drink it, because it does not combine with milk. the main ingredient in kenya's drinks, almost all purple tea is exported. at we mainly supply it to china europe america and middle east. the east of kenya was discovered about 15 years ago and developed very slowly before the plants gave the first harvest to farmers. i had to take care of them for five years without any monetary

compensation, however, today purple tea is a full-fledged competitor to black, and on it the countries of east africa and above all. kenya earned more than a billion us dollars in 2019 someone said once a cup of tea is a cup of the world, but here in kenya they say no miles of tea, best kenyan. indeed, africa has changed and feels much more confident than before, and it has its own views on the world order. from an african perspective, we have lived long enough in a world dominated by the west and many parts of the planet. nothing good. it didn't bring. on the contrary, a number of problems have worsened, and we in africa see an opportunity to use the multipolar world to strengthen the system of multilateral action. after all, it means a greater number of those involved in making decisions

western countries of the usa, i am sure, should welcome multipolarity. in fact, learning from the rest cannot be the same, that only the global ones are learning and it’s time to learn something, the changes taking place in the world are extremely positive. that's nice, otherwise there is a lot of despondency around. let's be how pilani mtmbu consider the change positive. it was an international review. see you in a week to sum up the results of the year. you're a real alligator, a terrible furious, which will devour everyone. gennady petrovich or simply gena the gardener of the apartment
