that policies which are not certainly a democratically elected but which are internally very democratic. i have days like many of the german political bosses just very internally democratic with lots of folks taking the most part team members, for example, folks who should be the candidates in such and such an election. yeah, i do that these people are a dangerous democracy, really is absolutely horrifying. and it shows indeed how the, the secret service is and they, they, they, they circled the bodies that are supposed to protect the constitution in these various states, call themselves the primary dangers of democracy. heidi mike. yeah, ralph and you know it's, it's really kind of an echo of what they're trying to do to trump in his supporters . they. they want to get him off the ballot. ok. they don't want to give people the opportunity to vote for or against them. they tend to forget that that's how voting work to vote for or against something or someone against another person. you. they don't even want to give them that opportunity. what do you think they would, would there just be

in the india diaspora. canada's former prime minister stephen harper is the head of the international democratic union and he has close ties to moody and as a result, um, even though we didn't see a, you know, a fairly strong statement of solid arity from the conservatives when this was 1st announced on monday it since been walk back a little bit and a conservative have simply decided to call for more information to be released and have focused on issues related to the other important matters such as the cost of the bank and interest rate. so i think you're trying to, to back away from this and i, as, as a result of that you, they want to be see it as, as of course, you know, they've been speaking out about chinese for an interference in canada for a number of months. now, and for them to kind of back away when there's a very serious allegations. so the indian for an interference would be perhaps slightly hypocritical, and kind of as the largest state community outside of india. how is all of this and the diplomatic fall out of course being received by that? so there has been a lot of support fr

so quite frankly the administration is not particularly focused on the internal democratic questionsompared to the big strategic picture. looking at china now and as we mentioned, president xijinping has never missed the annual group of 20 gathering — i think he would actually be the first chinese leader ever not to attend. what do you think is behind his decision to skip this one, and often sometimes there is even some symbolism in what china does? i imagine two reasons. people have argued that it is partly because of the economic difficulties at home, i'm not really convinced by that. i think there are probably two reasons. first, there are a number of issues on the table where china would really be in a minority at the 620. 0n debt relief, on food security, on their fulsome support from russia on ukraine, so xi would come in to, at least be at risk of coming into significant criticism and pressure at the 620 to shift his position on a number of these issues, and that would not be comfortable for him, i think he would want to avoid that. seconds, relations with india are pretty ten

and other sources i spoke to told me that internal democratic party polling shows guns is the second top issue for young voters, right behind student debt. william: where does this effort fit in with president biden's other efforts on guns? laura: there was the big crackdown on those guns, the kits sold online that do not have serial numbers or background checks, but that regulation that is currently in place changed that. biden pushed for that. as well as right now around the corner, the justice department regulation is likely soon to be finalized. what that does is expand who actually is defined as a firearms dealer. in effect, once that is finalized, it would also expand background checks. the one thing democrats and a number of gun advocates still want to see from the administration is there could be executive actions on changing who has oversight of the export of firearms from commerce department, which is where it currently is, over to the state department. they also think the defense department could issue a rule or a memo essentially saying they only want to buy firearms for

thank you, taras zhovtenko was with us, an international expert. security fund democratic initiatives named elka kuchereva. thanks. preparations for a meeting between xi jinping and joe biden continue soon , with chinese government officials visiting washington, the walol street journal reports. he said the governments are discussing visits by china's top economic policy official and the foreign minister. according to the publication , the visit of vice premier of china helifen is also planned. the heavenly leader himself can visit. the american states are within the framework of participation in the atec summit in san francisco already in november. well, journalists are convinced that such an event is could ease the power and tense relations between the states. the situation worsened at the beginning of the year, when the chinese hot air balloon was captured by the superpowers. as western media wrote then, china could use it to monitor american secret facilities. well, joe biden called everyone a dictator. also very different. and the foreign policy of the two countries, including ru

cooperation between the brix countries is working to create a more balanced world economy and more democratic internationalns. all things develop together and do not come into conflict with each other. confucius tract from lidtsy, lunyoi, it is necessary to have an even larger number of spheres at a higher level to carry out mutually beneficial cooperation and joint development cannot be dependent on others. especially to rob others , together with the peoples of all countries, we must make efforts to build a community with a common destiny for humanity and an even more beautiful world. to understand china , one-sidedness is unacceptable, just as one blindly gropes an elephant; in other words, one cannot see only a tree, without noticing. in china, since ancient times, it has advocated the search for commonalities while preserving differences. we want all states of different civilizations to have equal rights, learn from each other and move forward together along the path of progress, so that the people of all countries have access to achievements world economic and scientific development, so that their as

that being internally democrats.iberal democrat activists actually really going at each other on policy. that's the heart of the lib dem conference. and to some extent, what happens on the floor at this conference is more interesting than what happens on the floor at the tory or the labour conferences. >> you've really sold it to us there, tom i think everyone is now actually very genuinely excited. so what kind of fighting could we see? what policies are the sticking points this year ? there is a real this year? there is a real sticking point between the leadership of the liberal democrats and the membership of the liberal democrats on the issue of brexit. >> generally, what we see with the membership of the lib dems , the membership of the lib dems, which grew, of course during the brexit years when they adopted, i'm not sure if i can say this at this time in the morning on daytime television, but they adopted slogan to brexit an adopted a slogan to brexit is an official , an adopted a slogan to brexit is an offici

we want to ask our next guest , an expert from international security fund, democratic initiatives, mrgratulations to taras, glory to ukraine. i congratulate you as a hero. glory. i want to forward the first question from a dangerous intellectual to you because , as uncle podolyak said, the chinese have a weak intellectual potential . unfortunately. a chinese communist and singing to various aunts at the ruins of the mariupol drama theater, but despite the fact that when the advisor to the head of the president's office creates an international scandal on the chinese line, it must mean something. well, the situation is unconditional so a little specific, of course, we have nothing to thank the chinese communists for, we have nothing to thank, comrade, everyone . we all perfectly understand that china is far from an ally in relation to ukraine, but at the same time, we perfectly understand that china is not really is both a direct opponent and a direct ally of the russian federation, but he does it more cunningly through the third hands of his millions, such as iran or north korea. well

committee, a representative of the opposition, in fact, in fact, it would correspond to, er, all democratic international practices, er , in fact, and thank you opora, for and the signature under this appeal, the espresso tv channel is also signing, instead you talk about the need to appoint a person with flawless reputation, we all understand how we need it, er, who do you think could perform these functions at the highest level right now? in fact, it is difficult for me to say, that is , it is already the prerogative of the parliament, that is. uh, so if you, just for me to name a name, well, i won't help you here, that is, we, you and i are basically asking to appoint someone and not offering options, but i'm just following how right now, as the discussions regarding the leadership of the ministry of culture are going on there, i also see how the community makes some kind of proposal, and when really this position is qualitative, how many participants, in particular in this market, join and support this proposal, we will see , of course, how it all culminates, in the near future, we would like to hope

western world, the democratic world, should do much more to make them pay the price for supporting this war. i work with andriy the president in a working group with of international sanctions that the western democratic world should increase sanctions so that people feel the war more directly, in particular it is said that too many components from the west are involved in the production of weapons in russia and this should stop too many russians who have not been sanctioned work for a company and a political party that support the war, therefore, the sanctions need to be expanded, it is too comfortable for russians to travel to supposedly enemy countries, this is the world , stop the 360 ​​billion dollars that were frozen in the russian central bank need to be handed over for the reconstruction of ukraine so that the russians feel the consequences of the war they support so in my opinion this is the first step, then in the long term the defeat of putin's army in your country must take place, it is necessary for the people to finally reject their imperial ambitions in 1991 they failed to do so to do there is a big difference between germany in 1944 and russia in 1

[laughter] the internal fighting but democrats also have this internal conversation going on about whathat they would somebody else to be running for president. here are some that from david in the "washington post" i got a lot of attention this week. if he and harris campaigned together in 202 2024 by did riss undoing his greatest achievement which was stopping trump. he says to liabilities both age and keeping harris on the vice president provokes must amazing thing about that column is 90% is in praise of a joe biden has accomplished. mainly because of his experience, his wisdom, his age, his relationships in washington d.c. you see a president who sees himself as one of the few people likely on the stage that can defeat existenial threat to the republic which in his mind is donald trump. and he did it just three years ago with the harris team. he is itching for that fight again. would've been interesting up donald trump and not run again. within the president would view a second term as something he would be interested in but certainly he views himself as the one person who can defe

a problem is a more democratic government thought he wants to deal to international pressure to russian to election. the jared read. welcome to the program. india has launched its 1st emission to observe the sun which comes house on the keels of its successful moon landing less than 2 weeks ago. the lightest mason is named aditya l one. it's a reference to the hen. do god of the sun and will travel to the allison, moist pod. if it's a little bit from there, it can make constant observations. and even during an eclipse, you'll but is studies will help scientists understand solar activities, such as solar winds and plays the journey will last around 4 months. that will keep going to an earlier, i think diane jace, who is an assistant professor at the indian institute of astrophysics, given india's recent success with the moving landing. and now this launch, i began by asking him to describe his excitement and tell us how we felt this in a big, big moment. i think it was a significant milestone for the legs. the expense was expand. the overall core designs in the i would dig because i wasn

they're going to have to work out their own internal poisonous, partisan, political dynamic. house democrats are going to continue to focus on the business of the american people. we have not had a discussion about a motion to discharge with respect to anything connected to funding the government. we have ea responsibility to fund the government. there was an agreement that was reached that house republicans negotiated with president biden. so we shouldn't even be in this situation of a possible government shutdown. but that tellus how extreme the maga republicans are in the house right now. reporter: leader jeffries, on top of that a lot of republicans said they won't support a continuing resolution. what's the concern your conference has about that? mr. jeffries: extreme maga republicans are determined to shut the government down, or alternatively jam their right-wing ideology down the throats of the american people. we will not be paying any right-wing ransom notes. period. full stop. it's not happening. and so this reckless legislative joyride that the extremists are trying to take the a

democratization of international economic financial relations i want to say this word that we did not that this was the ultimatum that you spoke about on the russian side. perhaps with the turkish president and other leaders to resolve this problem the same as president erdogan. and president putin has repeatedly expressed readiness for this, namely that it is quite possible to resume the black sea initiative, but exclusively in both parts of it, not only the export of ukrainian grain, but also, uh, the removal of any obstacles to the export of russian fertilizers and russian wheat and others and other cereals. and a lot is now being said about the fact that, uh, mr. gutesh wrote a letter addressed to me. uh, despite diplomatic criticism , this information and the text of the letter itself were leaked to mass media. uh, but after reading the contents of this letter. uh, one gets the impression. what now? unfortunately, they are trying to use the secretary general. e in order to promote unilateral approaches, because the whole point of his appeal is that let’s urgently renew the ukrain

it isn't clear now, given that there is this international criticism, observers saying that the elections fell short of democraticll in operation today which was in itself an endorsement of president emmerson mnangagwa. his main challenge now is to convince the international community that in spite of the controversy and criticism that zimbabwe is ready to be readmitted into the international fold. whale hunting has resumed in iceland, after the country decided not to extend a temporary ban that was instituted earlier this summer. a series of new regulations and increased monitoring will be put in place. 0pponents are outraged by the decision. just three countries allow commercial whaling. iceland is the only place where large fin whales are still caught. adrienne murray reports. this old whaling boat will soon be heading out to sea to go hunting. earlier in the summer, the practice was suspended over animal welfare concerns. now the government has let whaling restart, though the minster said she had done so reluctantly. translation: this discussion is far from over. _ i think it is important that it continues in

the democratic world will be depends a lot on what will happen in the usa during the presidential elections and after the presidential elections, how much the usa will be able to maintain internaltability and dominance those democratic values ​​that made the usa the leader of the free world, because there are problems and, er, about china, yes, there are potential intrigues here, let's say, because the economic situation is not easy, i have ambitions , huge ambitions that have grown and china wants to dominate, wants to be, well, how at least a parallel center of influence and , at the same time, an increase in internal problems, in particular , potential economic problems. therefore , so far there are more questions than answers. i think that we still have a long period of formation of a new order. and what it will be, it is not certain will be with the dominance of one state, but will it be a concert not only of big states ? and i would say well, of states of conscious, independent , capable states that agree with each other , such a world order is being formed that will allow effective responses to global challenges, climate challenges, challenges related with other global p

but democrats then have to have the same energy, when it happens internally, in the democrats. >> absolutely yes. i think the reality of the matter is, the judicial system in our country's front and center. we say this with the trump and, basically all the things he's facing. so the reality is, if we believe in justice, if we believe in the laws as democrats, everyone must be held to the same standard, the reality of the matter is, they've got to let this process run its course. whatever the final verdict after we do all the fact-finding and all the evidence is laid bare. whatever that outcome might be, i think democrats but to be okay with it, right? >> that's the reality of the matter. >> i would say again, he has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. i will, at the last on this occurred, he won by 12 points, symone. >> he did, but -- this is different than the last time. what is being alleged in the and argument about senator menendez is that he took money in exchange for giving information. >> right. >> to foreign -- >> and i'm not a defense attorney here, but i would argue o

i'd love to see the democrats' internal polls about what they really think about -- >> "the wall streeting a majority of democrats think biden is too old for the job. that is the largest problem here, forget the domestic politics, the pro contraction of america's image abroad when biden does things like this, when he goes and and meets foreign leaders. this is someone who's just not on top of the job. it projects american weakness, not a country that's strong. stuart: i've never met anybody who thinks -- well, i is are -- that joe biden can be the next president for the next five and a half years. >> no. certainly not kamala harris. stuart: that's true. i need your advice. i do need your advice. back in 2015 you moderated the republican debate. that was 2015. >> yeah. stuart: what should i do with this republican debate on september the 27th? advice, please. >> first of all, congratulations. it's a great privilege to do it. i did it with fox business and the journal last time, it was a great privileged to do it. look, you you don't need advice from me, stuart. you're a seasoned prosecut

still create significant problems for ukrainian forces taras zoftenko, an expert on international security at the democraticerrev initiative joins taras's broadcast my greetings greetings good evening good evening well, actually , the assault units on limansk kupyansk the direction that the defeated troops are talking about in the east, can the occupiers there really bet on a breakthrough, or will they focus on the southern front, where in recent weeks, and the armed forces have advanced significantly, they have taken control of the strategically important work on do you think the priorities of the russian army will change will it now transfer additional resources from zaporizhzhia to the east? well, i think that based on the situation in general, which is developing in the southern direction, and the russian troops will strategically transfer to the defense group and the fact that they are now trying to concentrate their forces on certain areas of the front and form assault squads accordingly. this is most likely just an attempt to withdraw additional forces and units of the armed forces of ukraine, which

international studies. here's the phone number got to join in the conversation as usual democrats 202-74-8000 republicans (202)748-8001. folks are calling in about potential impacts in ukraine. let's look at the perspective of the key asian countries that are watching this meeting and what did it mean for south and what does it mean to china? >> i think it's pretty clear to me talk about countries like south japan australia they clearly oppose it. they think it's a very bad thing. both inse terms of aiding russia and the war in europe and in terms of russia might be providing north that creates a more unstable environment in their neighborhood. i think for china's much more complicated. i don't think it's conventional like it is for south japan and australia. owens and china doesn't like it when kim and putin get too close together and when the soviet union gets too close for when russia and north got too close. in that sense there of pulses for china or not to alienatea north and to try toso cozy up to north. on the other hand i don't think china wants to be seen as supporting something that is going to aid

professionalism and democracy elections are held in democratic conditions and international the expertsthey wanted, well, this is really a commentary, what is called no commentary ella pamfilova thanked the international experts for their work and invited them to the upcoming presidential elections. 24 years. it must be said that there are indeed a lot of experts. for example, observers from iceland worked in the kherson region, despite the fact that the official point of view of the authorities of nato countries about the current elections taking place in russia is literally saturated with lies and propaganda. this was also mentioned today ella pamfilova at the briefing. when nato representatives, who through the supply of weapons, are practically at war with us. well, they are not only fighting, they are also trying to fight with us through informational weapons. so, when they declare that the ongoing elections are a fiction. well, what i want to say is, well, inviting them personally to get acquainted with the voting process is useless, in person, they come when they start bombing se

millions of dollars are allocated for their work in the united states by the international development agency, a national democraticy structure of the soros foundation specialists in color revolutions 5 years ago as a result of street protests to power. nikol pashinyan came to armenia. warm meetings with western leaders began to occur more and more often. pashinyan abandoned the exercises this year at the dkb, but conducted a joint us exercise and at the height of the russian war, pashinyan sent his wife to kiev to the forum of the first ladies and gentlemen, where she warmly communicated with the participants, including zelensky’s wife and himself, pashinyan himself after a series of meetings with blinky schultz macron and michel publicly announced that he recognizes the territorial integrity of azerbaijan within the borders of 1991, that is, including nagorno-karabakh, thereby collapsing all previous agreements. now, when the situation has escalated to the limit and what has been said pashinyan began to happen de facto in washington, brussels limited themselves to expressing concern. directly on the ground, only

state that let's create additional commissions to control this , most likely the internal struggle of republicans and democratst once again i emphasize that it is very important that the fight against corruption has a systemic nature that the facts discovered by the law enforcement officers of our country have a logical conclusion, i.e. verdicts in courts that enter into legal force well , of course, that it was of such a nature once again i emphasize systematic and professional and not from case to case and once again the biggest corruptors are the village heads and the heads of the otg. and what is happening now gives the impression that finally our anti-corruption leaders, whose leaders have visited the united states, including recently, realized that the issue is too serious, or they will fight against corruption, or there will be other more professional people in their positions and they will lead this process of struggle. i would like to return to the question of helping even the united states this is the reformation of the team of those who will monitor from the pentagon how funds and aid are spent for

directly at the bank itself, to what extent is it at all used by the same republicans and democrats in their internalisputes eh i think that eh administration eh white house do not need an article router to know where corruption may be in ukrainian government circles, they definitely know about it and they definitely know about it they talk to ukrainian officials from the president to other levels all the time, and when they see that the ukrainian authorities are not doing anything about it , for example, sanctions are being introduced against kolomoisky, which was back in april 21 it took almost two and a half years for the ukrainian authorities to react to this in order to initiate criminal proceedings against kolomoiskyi , well, that is, it is happening, i think that since there is financial intelligence there is constant and constant monitoring of this, the administration definitely does not need articles in the media in order to know what is happening there, speaker makardi well, of course, the far-right republicans can show even with zelensky during the meeting, he asked what from what and how

ago, patrick, and that's that , of patrick, and that's that, of course, this is a democrat, internally democraticd to abolish the need for housing targets . but a group of housing targets. but a group of young lib dems managed to defeat the leadership of the former leader of the party, tim farron, besmirched them as thatcherites . he said this amendment was the most free market thing to have ever appeared at a lib dem conference. but the young lib dems managed to defeat the leadership and now we're in this bizarre world where the liberal democrats theoretically at least, are in favour of higher housing targets than even the labour party. >> that is fantastic. that is fantastic because that completely flies in the face of what people at local elections voted for with the liberal democrats , doesn't it? because democrats, doesn't it? because people voted for the lib dems in large they were large part because they were blocking things like a new housing estate being built on the the of the golf course at the back of your house. and it looks the golf course at the back of yourthere. and it looks the
