russia's all talk with it was golden china has the money all russia has is memories laureus past was in the navy cockleshell. people like to come to the bridge of orenburg to enjoy the sunset looking west towards europe but many confess that they're looking the other way more and more often. at this moment i'm sure that it's easier will be our future because china are there and other european are other underside great developing their interference our life our culture our wealth and that's why it's results future plans. may be the new silk road will cross the ural river tomorrow and in the end a modern highway will connect china to europe as the railway already does. it will be a europe that's currently coping with many crises and that doesn't seem to have yet grasped the extent of she ging pings project. how can the europe counter the power structures china is building along its new silk road. how will europe respond to this new soft imperialism based on economic growth and imperialism that's redrawing the map between europe and asia. above. my song turning sixty. every journey begi

came north from the outside noise from russia not from china. russia and. russia. while the real problem was. welcome back to our interview with alastair cook we're talking about the middle east before we went to the break we were talking about the a cultural shift and maybe a strategic shift in israeli thinking because of what's going on in syria but it's always about iraq it's always about your man and i know that you know you're an expert in the region. there's a lot of bluster in the rhetoric that comes out and you know you have to kind of decipher it but we know that prime minister netanyahu is in trouble politically domestically because of corruption charges and allegations. and then we when we had this shoot down of this israeli plane the israeli media and the military talked about you know these. iranian death poses and supplies in syria as if syria really isn't even a sovereign country here how much is this shift that you were talking about and we have the hawks in the pentagon in the white house when it comes to iran is there something coming together rig

and russia managed to deal with it on issue together and now we have another nuclear crisis with north korea can the two countries go again and set down involved china at the koreans to work things out pull this off one more time. it will be it would be easier for the u.s. to deal with russia as part of a group of countries along with china japan south korea and others it is very difficult to at the moment to have those bilateral talks. at least openly and even if you have them behind doors there are so many leaks from this administration that it's very hard to carry on diplomacy. you know with russia without that leaking so yes i think you could see in a. in a broader setting where you have other powers you could actually see improvement in the cooperation and that may build some trust back into the relationship. now during the john kerry years so that the surprise of working on some issues while clashing over others will actually lead to a comprehensive amending the russia u.s. relationship but that hasn't materialized why doesn't taylor send continue working this line. well there has been you know a sea change and nobody saw this exactly coming b

initiating a war with either china or russia their rationale which would be questioned but the rationale is that in case either china or russia precipitate a war for the with the united states we should be prepared for it so i see it is as a defensive rationale but i think what would be focused on instead is working to prevent that kind of a war from ever happening and that's to do with course as much with diplomacy and political actions as it has to do with military actions. dr perry last time we spoke you've said a lot of complimentary things about the u.s. defense secretary chu mattis yeah you know the man personally. has blamed russia for actually trying to stick a wedge between america and its allies and promise to speak to moscow from a position of force i mean the times are really tense right now no need to emphasize on that how wise is it to be so confrontational at these times and also do you think he's maybe trying to be tough at home where he really thinks that he can actually get something out of russia by pressure. i don't interpret. as exaction should be meant to be being p

is trying to fend off a triple threat from iran russia and china. and there is complete unanimity i've seen no dissent whatsoever among any of the mainstream commentators or political politicians liberal conservative or what have you they all agree that they must rebut the russian chinese and the rainy and threat menace and i can't see. we have a strategy can possibly prevail well you know ivan i mean i'm. don't agree that there are threats whatsoever i mean china is a regional power russia is certainly. not a global power and its reach is actually quite small and if you look at russian foreign policy and defense policy it's very most concerned about their sovereignty more than anything else and the near abroad i know some people don't like that term but it's it's real ok i mean these these threats here in a rant iran it's surrounded by. nato or nature related countries bases i mean this is all a fiction here but it certainly is very good for the arms industry i mean donald trump has been such a sugar daddy to them this year and next year for sure g

not just dialogue with russia and china. we need allies. we are in a great power rivalry in this world with both russia and china, even our -- given our massive debt and china's economic might. that will be a tough hill to climb. we need allies, we need friends. vietnam, south korea, japan, we still don't even have an ambassador to south korea. we are degrading diplomacy at an incredibly rapid. we are also degrading development. we talk about all that stuff on the chart over there that china is doing, one of the biggest things china is doing, is they are spending a lot of money all across the world to try to curry favor with countries and also build their own economic might. they are doing it in a crass and terrible way because they don't care what the government does. they will not pull money out of a country because of a human rights dilation. they are doing it and we are pulling back. again this budget is being , proposed, guts. development. about the department of security. it is part of the nondefense discretionary budget. we will leav

nuclear strategy has outlined china russia and north korea as complex threats i'll tell you what about after this break. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually just the long lost of the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah john all over a party america is doing the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love to the night i'm president of the world bank so very. seriously send us an e-mail. the wall this is getting away from us dollars wall reserve currency the one road one bell paul c. linking up russia and china is out of the dollar every last trade oil away from the dollar and countries are desperate to get out of the u.s. dollar so the dollar is going to lose value no matter what anybody says. treasury secretary trying to make it look like oh the lower dollar really matter what he says the dollar is going lower as we've been saying for a number of years because the u.s. dollar is the currency. other countries recognize as funding wars and the weapons on the propert

we know the tensions that exist between iran north korea and united states and also china russia a matter the idea that you can have a battlefield nuclear weapon is very attractive the generals who are want to win battles but they're not going to win a war you have massive new parents lower the world many hundred times over existing stockpile so the danger here is that somebody thinks that they can start aid limited their war against an object for instance iran and that somehow this will not. go into a fully average nuclear posture. problem right at this moment is that the u.s. is fighting everybody at the same time both in terms of trade now after china europe in terms of strategy and nuclear ambitions china russia iran north korea it's not clear how long. this kind of battle on all part not just a few hours' time in the un special rapporteur on human rights will reveal his first conclusions about the conditions faced by nepal's migrant workers about a third of the country's economy comes from money and abroad but many workers are exploited a subpoena stressed in our reports. that cuts w

nuclear strategy has outlined china russia and north korea as complex threats so what about that after this short break. the world is getting away from us dollars wall reserve currency the one road one bell policy linking up russia and china is out of the dollar every last trade oil away from the dollar countries are desperate to get out of the u.s. dollar so the dollar is going to lose value no matter what anybody says so here's the treasury secretary really trying to make it look like. really matter what he says dollars going low as we've been saying for a number of years because the u.s. dollar is a currency that other countries recognize as funding wars and the weapons and the poverty that they're trying to escape. israel's been called a beacon of light on hope in the middle east by the u.k.'s defense secretary govern williamson also stressed that israel has a friend for life in britain a lot he's in us to see if you're going to has been asking people in london if they agree with the sentiment. if you were the u.k.'s defense secretary which country would you call it because of ligh

not just dialogue with russia and china. we need allies. if we are in a great power rivalry with russia and china, given our massive debt and china's economic might, that's going to be a tough hill to climb. we can build a trillion military and it will be hard to match that. we need allies and friends, there are a lot of possibilities, south korea and japan and we still don't have an ambassador for south korea. we are degrading development, an important part of it. this is part of you talk about all the stuff on the chart over there china is doing, one of the biggest things china is doing, they're spending a ton of money all across the world to try to curry favors with countries and build their own economic might. they're doing it in an incredibly crass and terrible way because they don't care what the government does. they won't pull money out of a country because of a human rights violation, they don't care. they're doing it, we're pulling back. this budget is being proposed, guts, development. let's talk about the department of homeland s

dialogue is incredibly important to deterrence and not just dialogue with russia and china. we need allies. look, if we are in great power rivalry in this world with both russia and china, given our massive debt and china's economic might, that's going to be a tough hill to climb. i mean, we could build a military -- trillion dollar military and it's going to be hard to match all that. we need allies. we need friends and there are a lot of possibilities. ipd yeah, vietnam, south korea, japan, we still don't even have an ambassador to south korea. but we are degrading diplomacy at an incredibly rapid level. we are also degrading development, which i think is an important part of it. this is part of how we talk about, you know, all that stuff in the chart over there, that china's doing. one of the biggest things china is doing is spending a ton of money all across the world to try to curry favor with countries and also build their own economic might. now, they're doing it in an incredibly crass and terrible way, because they don't care what the government does. they're not goin

well what any government whether it's russia china the u.s. or for that matter australia they have to claim against capabilities not against intentions i own personal view is that russia in particular does not pose an imminent threat simply because there is too much mutually of interest with the united states and the west to to move towards a nuclear confrontation but what you plan for if you're a military planner is not intent you plan against capability and as long as russia china iran north korea and it's for that matter india or pakistan or israel for that matter as long as these countries have nuclear weapons they have to be taken into account when planning one's own. capabilities and defenses whether it's to defend against incoming ballistic missiles or nuclear weapons or whether to. project dominance and then i think if anything this highlights the need for dialogue and communication as a key amongst all these superpowers gregory kokanee their author and thirty's catalyst thanks for your time here today on r.t. international thank you. n

we have to build massive weapons to deter russia and china? well we are not talking to them, so we must presume the worst. andill give up on diplomacy focus on having as many weapons as humanly possible to make sure they are deterred. dialogue is incredibly important. we need allies. a great power rivalry in this world with russia and china, even our china'sdebt and economic might come at that will be a tough hill to climb. we can build the military a trillion dollars and it will be hard to match that. we need allies. we need friends. japan, weouth korea, still don't even have an ambassador to south korea. we are degrading diplomacy at an incredibly rapid. we talk about all that stuff on the chart over there that china is doing, one of the biggest things they are doing is spending a ton of money all across the world to try to curry favor with countries and also build their own economic might. they are doing it in a crass and terrible way because they don't care what the government does. they will not pull money out of a country because of a hu

and russia managed to deal with it on an issue together and now we have another nuclear crisis with north korea can the two countries go again and sit down and involve china and get the koreans to work could things out pull this off one more time. it will be it would be easier for the u.s. to deal with russia as part of a group of countries along with china japan south korea and others it is very difficult to at the moment to have those bilateral talks. at least openly and even if you have them behind doors there are so many leaks from this administration that it's very hard to carry on diplomacy. you know with russia without that leaking so yes i think you could see in a. in a broader setting where you have other powers you could actually see improvement in the cooperation and that may build some trust back into the relationship now during the john kerry years so that this approach of working on some issues while clashing over others will actually lead to a comprehensive mending of the russian u.s. relationship but that hasn't materialized why doesn't tillerson continue working this line. well there has been you know a sea change and nobody saw this exac

as we have seen from increasing economic and military efforts by china and russia to gain footholds in the americas, the boundaries between grout power and are getting blurred. one reason general dunford made the observation that we have, we're losing our qualitative and quantitative edge on china and russia. general robinson, you are tasked with the addressing the missile and nuclear threats that we face. while i am encouraged by recent efforts to bolster the homeland missile defense system more need to be done to address the ballistic and cruise missile threats. i think particularly recently we observed others gaining talents we were not convinced they already had. admiral tidd, in southcom you are on the front lines combating illicit networks, combating smuggling drugs and weapons and money, destablized countries along the way. external actors that present unique challenges in the theater that exist and lack sufficient resources. i think that we have a lot in common and for that reason we're having these together and we look forward to your testimony and appreciate the time that eac

international affairs commentator marco gas it sees the expansion plan as an effort to shut russia and china out of the region. it's not so much a question of the russia posing a threat to the e.u. the e.u. the west in general wanting to make sure that the russians appreciate the threat. to them if they don't comply with what the west wants so this is about shutting russia out and indeed to some extent china as well from this region in order to make a monolithic e.u. stroke western bloc serbia is the only country on the list which really needs persuading and the reason why these persuading is because the price of e.u. membership for serbia unlike the others is incredibly high a lot of serbians realize very clearly that. in essence the e.u. is offering serbia the chance to lose good relations great trading relations with many you can omit blocks in return for having good relations with just one and so we should recognize that serbia has several suitors on the global stage it's got china it's got russia it's got japan it's got the arab world it's not just about the e.u. and survey has been doi

china and russia have been increasingly active in south america, committing millions of dollars of investment and partnering with latin american militaries. admiral tid, as you noted in your written statement, china has pledged $500 billion in latin american countries and $250 billion in chinese direct investment over the next ten years. increased economic cooperation and a continued provision of financing and loans that appear to have no strings attached provide ample opportunity for china to expand its influence and promote unfair business practices and labor practices. i'm concerned because of the cuts to our state department and usaid we are not doing everything we can to position ourselves as a partner of choice for our neighbors in the region. i'd like to hear from you how china and russia are investing in central and south america and how they pose a national security threat to the united states. finally, we're all observing the humanitarian crisis in venezuela. i'd like your perspectives on how much longer the regime can survive and how the crisis will affect neighboring countries. i'

as i asked 23.5% from russia and china.n ordered by the president one year ago and we should have a formal briefing and results of the briefing from the commerce department within minutes. let's bring in our manager -- managing editor. the 7.7% and 23.5% in china and russia, how does that differ from what we anticipated? >> in line with what we anticipated, we saw all kinds of numbers thrown out by the industry and consumers of aluminum, people are afraid of the tariffs. you are seeing shares in aluminum companies go up, shares companies.mpany -- these are just recommendations and we will have to see what the president does. he has said he wants more tariffs. vonnie: it took a entire year for this to happen. of --s seem like a lot 23.5% tariff on china, in comparison with historical tariffs? 87% of only taken beyond what you sent to the u.s. last year. most of this will not be affected. it will be the last 13% or so that we will be looking at to subject to the tariffs. numbers are just in and we are working out the details.

and russia managed to deal with it on issue together and now we have another nuclear crisis with north korea can the two countries go again and say down involved china get the koreans to work could things out pull this off one more time . it will be it would be easier for the u.s. to deal with russia as part of a group of countries along with china japan south korea and others it is very difficult to at the moment to have those bilateral talks. at least openly and even if you have them behind doors there are so many leaks from this administration that it's very hard to carry on diplomacy. you know with russia without that leaking so yes i think you could see in a. broader setting where you have other powers you could actually see improvement in the cooperation and that may build some trust back into the relationship. now during the john kerry years so was hope that this approach of working on some issues while clashing over others will actually lead to a comprehensive amending the russia u.s. relationship but that hasn't materialized why doesn't tillerson continue working this line. well there has been you know a sea change and nobody saw this exact

chi china or russia have multiple. what is russia and china's strategy? you told us last year about your strategic estimate. can you give us an update on that strategic estimate in the arctic? >> absolutely, sir. so i did a strategic estimate. out of that strategic estimate, i have directed by two-star plan tore provide a mission analysis. as i've said to people, we've had our toes in the sand. it's time to put our feet in the snow and time to understand more and more what's going on up there. so out of that mission analysis, we're going to do a couple of exercises. we did a vigilant shield last fall. we're going to do an arctic edge and we'll be able to understand certain tasks out of that. at the same time, we know we need to look at the infrastructure, the communications, and the domain awareness to understand what's happening. >> both of you very quickly, i have limited time, our strength against these near-peer competitors is our network of allies. and i know secretary of state tillerson has talked about that, secretary mattis has talked about that a

will do china tends to follow russia sometimes china has used its veto and russia has just abstained this is the current draft of the resolution the problem and the problem for some time has been the very first paragraph you see the red on there that's where things have been changed in the last twenty four hours it's all about the cease fire timing and how it comes into operation that seems to be the problem they originally have the words that it should be an immediate cease of hostilities that became without delay they had for an initial period of thirty days that became a cease fire thirty days for a juror bull humanitarian pause these are some of the changes that are being made and i'm pretty certain it's only guesswork for me that that that document the russians and chinese were holding was quite possibly another amendment of this key first paragraph of this resolution i can tell you there's a difference of opinion among the other members of the security council on what to do some want to continue to negotiate as you say there's only really one chance at this t

sanctions it indicates that north korea exported coal to china malaysia russia and vietnam president donald trump is claiming complete vindication in the russia investigation after the release of a memo claiming the f.b.i. and the justice department east of unsubstantiated evidence to spy on chung paint but democrats say the memo is aimed at de raining the investigation into russian collusion in the twenty sixteen election rebel fighters in syria say they've shut down a russian jet over italy province the pilots to have been captured and is badly engines russian forces have been carrying out asterix on rebel held areas within the seven people killed in aleppo on friday you're up to date with the headlines people and power is coming next stay with us. recent elections most notably that you don't trump is u.s. president of heart like too dangerous to democracy his party there is using social media on the internet to spread malicious propaganda.

but when a country like russia or china is going to cyber war -- how do you react?ur low yield nuclear weapons a deterrent? now.ity is right hard to say how to be safe. is nuclearg thing proliferation with terrorist organizations. i think these threats are the biggest. cyber war and nuclear proliferation. justminor nice thing -- modernizing the nuclear system is not enough. put 1% of the budget, the pentagon does come into cyber war. constanze: let us not leave out of the picture political warfare. put 1% of the budget, the pentagonor as one of my brookins colleagues in a book says -- measures short of war which ourrfere in politics and economies. it is something the russians are doing that also the chinese and the iranians. propaganda. has a toxic and destabilizing affect which undermines the trust you need in societies to get to the kind of agreement you would like to see. inathose are in arguably -- inflicting real-time polities and our social cohesion as we speak. i think if we do not keep firmly in mind that that is where things are currently having come -- are

recent pentagon military doctrine shift from the war on terror to great power while great with china and russia given higher priority now means that the cia's anti terror effort will fall to her. i don't think so sophia because terrorism is not going away we fact i'm a little worried right now because every time there's been a relative lull in activity such as we've seen since a little bit of reduction of conflict in syria recently there's been a rebound and then the terrorists every merged in a new form so i'm not in any way believer in the idea that we were past this threat of terrorism i think at the same time the great power rivalry doesn't necessarily imply that we're enemies again or that we're back to a cold war i think in a way whether you're that you apply this idea of rivalry to china or russia it's a recognition that both countries should be taken seriously and that their interests are sometimes a threat to the united states but i would describe it more as competition than adversarial. i've heard former cia officials lament the fact that the agency has fewer resources now than sure i
