where does the middle east -- and we are deep -- deemphasizing the middle east. where do you see the police and eight this new equation and what kind of a role does it play in the strategic opposition? >> taking a step back and looking at a macro level, the existential question of this decade if not beyond is how does the united states -- i don't like to say keep pace but outpace the rapid chinese military buildup but also deal with -- a very aggressive and threatening russia, a rogue regime like north korea and iran as they race toward their own nuclear capabilities but still deal with the threat of global terrorism? how do we do china, russia, iran, and north korea and secure our atmosphere and the homeland and global terrorism overlaid with 30 trillion in debt and climbing? how do we balance and prioritize and to be candid, we do not have the details but the initial offense budget that came over does not do the job. we had hearings with the secretary of defense and chairman millie and the pentagon controller and the controller admitted that he used a 4% inflat

-middle east policy. let me remind the audience that all of the institution cares about is its mission which is increasing knowledge of the middle east, and promoting a better understanding between the people of these two areas regardless of who is occupying the oval office. with that, let me introduce congressman michael waltz. mike represents florida's sixth congressional district. he served over 24 years in the u.s. army and is presently serving in the national guard. after being commissioned as an army lieutenant, he became a green beret, serving worldwide as a decorated special officer with multiple combat tours in afghanistan which we are going to talk about. the middle east, but also in africa. for his actions in conduct -- combat, he was awarded four bronze stars and two with valor. he is the first green beret to be elected to congress. and he is a former white house pentagon and policy advisor. and most important way i would say, a proud father who very recently had a new baby boy. so congratulat

-middle east policy. the conversation today is no different and let me remind the audience as as a institution, all our group cares about is increasing knowledge in the middle east among decisions in the united states and promoting understanding between the two areas. let me introduce it -- introduce mike waltz. he represents florida's six congressional district. he is presently serving in the national guard. after being commissioned as a army lieutenant, he became a green beret serving worldwide. he served -- for his actions in combat, mike was awarded four rounds stars. he is the first green beret to be elected to congress. he is a former white house and pentagon policy advisor and most portly, a proud father who very recently had a new baby boy. congratulations, mike. we have a less than hour. we have a hard stop at 11. this is a on the record computation. broadcasted live on youtube and on the website. c-span will be airing this live. it is a pleasure to have you. rep. waltz: it is wonderful to be wit

they are so casual about these other alliances particularly in the middle east.nd put the work that the president put into build that positive momentum with the abraham accords it seems to be completely thrown away. >> that's correct and a key part of how you got that piece is america's confrontational posture. because that gave the arab leaders the political space to move into an open alliance with israel. so under trumps leadership that administration that confronted iran and open the space for peace to bring more to the middle east and did the exact opposite they had for peace agreements which is a very big deal and in 72 years we had to one in 1879 and one majority in 1994. than 25 years later and then in 2020 we can get for agreements. the us strong leadership through iran and the embrace of israel as a key ally is the reason you saw this emergence piece and what the biden administration should do is get off the course of appeasement and then to confront the regime that is responsible for the murder of hundreds of americans and to not try to remove them from

let's now move from the asian east to the middle east to the muslim east today we had a telephone conversationidents vladimir putin and recep taip erdogan in the center of ukraine a. actually. i salute e and admire erdogan's perseverance . right now, practically none of the world leaders is talking about a political agreement. uh, a personal meeting, and even more so between putin and zelensky themselves, is possible in the foreseeable future, but erdogan does not let up, he is still working in this direction, but at the same time, but, it seems, like a little bit on- the tone of us-turkish relations began to change, because recently the united states has also used the whip in relation to turkey. this is how they appeared. well, at least there was a certain smell of gingerbread. i don’t know how much more it materialized, but a certain smell of gingerbread appeared, because both the turkish side and the state department, but announced that in the company, how the united states gives the go-ahead for the sale of f-16 fighter jets to turkey, which ankara requested more and last year. a vladimir

however, with much more concern , washington is now looking at its yesterday ’s main ally in the middle eastand a very influential american wall street journal, citing its sources, reports that sa. arabia is actively negotiating with beijing to transfer payments for oil sold in yuan, coupled with russia's decision to sell gas for rubles. this could be a real disaster for the entire global financial system. is it possible that moscow and beijing may have an unexpected geopolitical ally, and washington has a new enemy that is able to hit the weakest spot in prices at american gas stations, with whom the oil sheiks will eventually end up, why can an alternative world order depend on their decision? and how in general he will understand this, our partner andrey sukhanov, perhaps he is he tries his best, but still he is bad, it turns out to be like they drew, nevertheless, this biden's warsaw speech. already compared with the famous performance of winston churchill fulton. there skopin and what exactly in the baltic before trieste in the adriatic, an iron curtain descended on the continent? we ha

i know where there will be another front, where they themselves said about it middle east middle east i refuse our energy carrier from oil and gas. they are already preparing to set fire to the middle east, they are already preparing it, and it turns out that here their concept of a one and a half war, which they talk about in the sixteenth year, half of the war in russia, half of the real war in russia, a whole part of the war in china, this is the future of the theater of operations, because an ocus is being created and there will be another half of the middle east, they will wait for it, we will also reach china, and the middle east will be left aside for the time being, but about the candelabra and about showing, in principle, the americans are still invigorating. have you seen biden today? it really seems to me that there is something new there. brought funds to him that i had not seen him with such vigor for a long time. a, although maybe there are some reasons for this, we'll talk about it later, but for some, as you said satellites already, of course, there are doubts about wh

this will be the 1st time the competition has been held in the middle east. well, those are the headlines and he's continues here after talked to al jazeera station . thanks for watching, bye, for now. on counting the cost with europe facing the threat of a gas lea, skin africa fail the gap pack ukraine, war bottles of noble economy, power, countries, coping and e. you move to care, big tech dominant. will there new regulation? what? counting the cost on al jazeera with on february 24th, russian forces invaded ukraine. for weeks, the united states and the western warned of an impending military offensive. russian president vladimir putin called it as special operation to the nazi fi and demilitarize ukraine. but while the east and west narratives clash the death toll and destruction keeps on rising, the frontline in this wall is not only military, it's also financial and political for both sides of the conflict. some european countries like germany, highly reliant on russian gas and oil, have refused to accept to complete energy embargo on russia. other, you

a lieutenant colonel two years ago showed up during the conflict in the middle east, seals are stillplace. in place. so, i’m going for a walk tomorrow. general fee. urgency one of the most famous writers, petersburg my friends, a former engineer an authoritative person and you will meet anything tried former head of department in glavka, now he was also trying to retire the city of tarasov, wait, he’s sitting in the same place and already in st. petersburg, obviously, for his term, wants to see me with someone of his own, you can help me. i will come to visit you myself, they openly declared war on me. and i do not forgive such things. will have to fight. it was i who told you to put it on, and i put it on, and he gave me the exact same one to put on yourself, you can put some climb on your head. police brotherhood is already premiere today at 20:00 on ntv country of talents on friday at 20:50 on ntv running is my source of energy when it's cold outside , everyone wants to keep the house warm. i like that you can control the heating from your phone . the energy-saving heater of the h

we certainly understand that the position of congress and in the middle east is quite peculiar. that there is also the presence of russia in some rush. and i see that does not allow for immediate decision to the on one side and completely again, structurally understand that this is much complex of the same time. this is a big opportunity to display human munity and our support for the values that i believe both europe and majority of the country to golf hold veered as we believe in theater integrity. we believe in the sovereignty of nations and rights too, for formation. so the site of the future in the necessity to preserve peace right now. perhaps more than ever in history, europe needs countries in the gulf to preserve global peace. this is a huge opportunity to build long standing strategic partnership between the gulf, between our countries in europe, and not just about such about so export of any resource is very important, the cornerstone of our economies. we need to work much more than that. but actually perhaps even more the political commitment to be on the same side.

of ramadan, jerusalem day, these are all kind of emotional moments in the middle east but the biggest thing for me was the month before the palestinians llwere slated to have elections. without getting into the details they had been in a civil war since 2007. there was a bitter split between hamas and the palestinian authority in fact there is a territorial divide between the palestinians. people don't ever think about this but hamas controls the gaza strip that it won an award in 2007 and they've clung to power in the west bank. there was going to be an attempt to bring the two parties together again through elections. itam was a dangerous gambit by e biden administration and the palestiniansin themselves becaue if hamas were to win there were all sorts of complications it would prompt a cutoff in political relations in the united states and a cut off and funding. by the way these are all rules that have been put in place by someone you may have heard of, senator joe biden. so there was this moment where the israelis, pragmatic states finally prevailed upon the states to cancel those

i was there on assignment and was actually living in the middle east in jerusalem at the time but the war was starting in iraq and those of us who were lucky enough to witness that part of history, we were in iraq for a very long time. for 20 years this war on terror has continued and i don't want to talk about foreign policy or american mistakes or successes. i wrote the book not to do any of that s but really to correct what i saw was a glaring omission over the last 20 years. as someone who grew up knowing a lot about our allies in world war ii, i could talk about the uprising and about french resistance fighters and we all probablywe know one or two of te stories. we knew who was fighting alongside of us and in the war on terror americans and most journalists really haven't spent enough time trying to figure out who those people were. the spymaster of baghdad i hoped helps to fill that void and also to put iraq ease back as main characters in their own modern history because as if you follow foreign policy, if you know anything about iraq you know that there are shelves and shelve

you an estimate, the 55000000 people in the middle east in north africa are malnourished. and this can get worse because a, we some ice increases. but there are things that governments can do to help. and that begins with a global or ignition that food is not a commodity like any other is essential to human rights. and that means governments need to regulate prices or provide support to make sure that everybody can afford enough nutritious food. and the global markets also need to begin to treat crude as a rate and not a commodity journey. i conversation today. we have shanda and david and katerina gets apple free of you with a shadow. these introduce yourself into international audience. i am shes a mug, ruby, i am the you on world food program spokesperson in new york. yes. hello, david, please introduce yourself to the stream audience. tell them who you are and what you're doing. yeah, i'm dave freebird, i'm the ceo of the production board, which is an investment holding company based in california that works across food and agriculture. we really operate at the interse

as some officials say that it will affect only people from the middle east and africa, not from ukraine. the broadcasting lab direct from a studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now, ukraine's president zelinski says, quote, the battle for the dunbar has begun with shilling reported on the front line the this unverified footage purportedly shows the shilling of ukrainian positions in the dumbass. meanwhile, explosions for also reported in the major ukrainian city as a park of nikolai of now valencia again says russia has begun a long prepared offensive in the dumbass. a claim that moscow is yet to confirm that is more than a constant lot, that we can now confirm that russian troops have begun the battle for the don bass, which they have been preparing for a long time. a large part of the russian army is now dedicated to this offense. no matter how many russian soldiers are brought here, we will fight. we will defend ourselves. we will do it daily. we will not give up anything ukrainian and we do not need what's not ours,

so what does that mean for israel the middle east and the conflicts that you lay out in the book? oh look. that is the that's the big question. it's the biggest question. i mean here you have what i would call neil isolationist trends here in the united states on the left and on the right during the trump administration we saw maximum pressure on iran even as we look to draw down from the middle east now we have no pressure on iran even as or say less pressure. i mean very kids would say very little pressure very little we're looking at really, you know an attempt to get back into a deal to provide, you know sanctions relief not a lot of restrictions put in place to keep a run in check and and so the iranians see this and they they smell opportunity. they look at this as a moment where we want to get out of the middle east and again, this is a fairly bipartisan sentiment right now, and we want to pivot to asia. the question is i think you know, and i raise this in the last chapter of the book. who are we going to tap to take our place when we leave because we are drawing down afgh

these are all kind of emotional moments and in the middle east but the biggest thing for me actually was that the month before the palestinians were slated to have elections now the palestinians without getting into all the detail they've been in a state of civil war since 2007. there's a really bitter split between hamas and the palestinian authority or the plo. in fact this there is actually a territorial divide between the palestinians people don't really ever think about this but hamas controls the gaza strip which it won an a war in 2007 and the plo is clung to power in the west bank and there was going to be an attempt to bring the two parties together again through elections. it was a dangerous gambit by the biden administration and by the palestinians themselves because if hamas were to win there were all sorts of complications that would arise it would prompt a cut off and political relations with the united states. it would cause it would prompt to cut off in funding by the way. these are all rules that have been put in place by a guy you may have heard of named senator joe

well, i think that the middle east and, in general, the african direction of russian foreign policy.we must step up and strengthen our priority, because the most promising markets for us are exactly there for us, er, the most friendly countries are located. please note that there are no anti-russian countries in africa egypt algeria sudan e, three african countries are russia's key partners in different aspects. this includes military-technical cooperation and exports. and russian agricultural goods, therefore, of course. uh, russia should, a attach great importance to relations uh with these countries, but these countries are, of course, under very serious pressure from the united states, which, in principle, wants to punish everyone. uh, who refuses to curtail their cooperation with russia and unequivocally condemn it? and here the other day, there was another very revealing example of this american policy, the prime minister. e, pakistani imran a. e, which i remind you that i visited moscow and, uh, held talks with vladimir putin on february 24th. that is, on the day the russian s

they go to school to learn about the middle east. i didn't go to school to learn about complex international affairs. li wanted to tell stories that people could relate to. so that was another reason i wrote the spymaster of baghdad. if you don't care about the middle east i hope i've written something that's accessible for you to jump into because also at the heart of this it's not just about heroes and it's not about the band of brothers and it's not just about counterterrorism and great spy tales, it's also about families and getting to know these families , the al-sudani, abu ali al-basri and other families who are part of my book who are the people who are tragic figures whose daughter went down an extremist rabbit hole online and became a terrorist. she became a member voluntarily of the islamic state. all these people are real. all their stories are true. all of them are very authentic and all of them i i hope will give you a window into what it's been like to be an iraqi over the last 20 years as this forever war continues an

not all refugees are treated the same millions of iraqis, the displaced across the middle east. you to washington's intervention in the country back in 20 o. 3. we heard from iraqi people whose lives have been torn apart by the war. aah! lafayette ave. in 2003, i was in fact that when the outrageous attack took place against us, they reeked havoc on the country. it was american and ravaged the country. america is notorious for launching aggression against all countries in pursuit of its interests and the plundering of national assets, and so on the left, directly, leaving behind them must seriously rosella. with a you that ye? yes, we are refugees. many of my generation recall us president george w bush and john f. kennedy. they are american imperialists. we were raised up on these principles, that american imperialism is the enemy of peoples, eager to absorb their wealth. democrats and republicans does a chinese proverb that says, said, doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white as long as it catches mice with a curbside a since we are the victim of conspiracy against the m

masses of illegal migrants to rwanda, as some officials say that it will affect only people from the middle east and africa, not from ukraine, with broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now we start with breaking news. this our ukraine's president zalinski says, quote, the battle for the don boss has begun with massive shelling reported on the front line. the. this is unverified footage purportedly showing the showing of ukrainian positions in the bass. meanwhile, explosions were also reported in the major ukrainian cities of que park of. and nikolai, as zelinski again says, russia has begun a long prepared offensive in the dawn bass. a claim that moscow is yet to confirm that is more than a constant law to show. we can now confirm that russian troops have begun the battle for the dawn back, which they have been preparing for a long time. the large part of the russian army is now dedicated to this offense, no matter how many russian soldiers are brought here, we will fight. we will defend ourselves

it'll be the 1st time the middle east house the tournament, but it hasn't been easy. most recently, carter is had to navigate a blockade, a global pandemic, and now the global effects of a war and ukraine. but despite all of that, though, has kept its promise, the groups playing each other have now all been set. the stadiums are ready. oh, on the fans, they can't wait to get their hands on those tickets. johnny gosh! roscoe was at the drawer on friday she brought us this report. after months of qualifying matches, this was the moment football fans around the world will waiting for to find out who their country would play in the opening games of this. she is world cup and cattle was keen to show fans what they could expect. at the 1st edition of this tournament to be held in the middle east. ash overcome was sad. i feel proud and happy from this moment and beyond the world. we'll see carter as we promised we shall provide an extraordinary addition of the world cop. the full governing body has faced a turbulent build up to this draw, excluding the russian team over its

we have a drought much of the middle east, which is affecting production food production across the middle east. so that's an important fact. but also because some of the sanctions on russia have affected important areas of fertilizers, other things that are necessary in food production, certain gas is necessary also. and all of these are being blocked at the moment by sanctions. and so it's causing a huge problem. and in some cases, farmers in the western are planting crops or planning to run crops because the price of fertilizers has shot up the components to these either come from better, russo, they come from russia and they're just not available at the moment. so one part of it is sanctions. one part of it is the contract is taking probably from ukraine. another part of it is drove. and another part is the fact that in many parts of the world, the attempt to move towards the green world from the sort of, if you like, the us agenda has actually meant the crops are not being planted. they're called several components to this problem. and it's certainly we are going to feel the effects o

i'll give it to you, i understand very well that instability in the middle east is only growing. but that did n't stop anyone. this is the same controlled chaos theory that democrats love. they are absolutely sure that the vacuum of power anywhere in the world will be quickly filled by non-governmental organizations, which can always be pressed by humanitarian aid and the forces of transnational companies. and so often now the phrase quoted by the flag is clouded. war is a continuation of politics by other means. he puts everything on his own places. probably. biden's team is sure to pull up his hand to an invisible interlocutor, and then turning his back to the audience in confusion , waiting for a long time what's next and where not applicable, the congressman-minded saw this as a pretext for impeachment announcements. he got lost. lost on the stage. after the president's speech they don't do that. it is difficult to say whether it was due to physical or mental problems of three billboards on the border of the melanoma of the state. yova clearly indicated that joe bai. they are

let's talk a little bit about the middle east since you're not only poland, deputy foreign minister, you also specialize in the mean region. what would you like to see from this part of the world? are you asking for more oil and gas? i imagine that's the case and what kind of response do you feel you're getting you getting cooperation? we certainly understand that the position of congress and in the middle east is quite peculiar, that there is also the presence of russia in some rush. and i see that does not allow for immediate decision to the on one side and completely again, structurally understand that this is much complex of the same time. this is a big opportunity to display human munity and our support for the values that i believe both europe and majority of the country to golf. hold dear, that we believe interpreter, integrity, we believe in the sovereignty of nations and rights too, for formation. so the site of the future in the necessity to preserve peace right now. perhaps more than ever in history, europe needs countries in the gulf to preserve global peace. this is a hu

still seems to be the middle east still seems to be the norm, and we are sadly being reminded war is not unfortunately relegated to history and the war that we are witnessing is one that seems to respect, at least from the russian side, almost no rules. so, really, it is really difficult to have to contemplate this, we do have to face up to it, and i think one of the things you are seeing president biden do is acknowledge that we need the wherewithal to be able to provide help to the ukrainians so they can defend themselves. haw help to the ukrainians so they can defend themselves. how concerned are ou, mr defend themselves. how concerned are you. mr ross. — defend themselves. how concerned are you, mr ross, about _ defend themselves. how concerned are you, mr ross, about the _ defend themselves. how concerned are you, mr ross, about the fact _ defend themselves. how concerned are you, mr ross, about the fact that - you, mr ross, about the fact that this conflict might escalate into neighbouring states, which could even pick the us and russia get into a new cold war in this era? t
