when he went into the study 3, that is now called the democratic republic of congo and confronted it to what it was under as instructive that when he made it this personal property, it was his own to do whatever he wanted with it. and also now had to create a dot as a personal property. then he requested a conference in by lead. many people don't know the conference in by the, in the and 18841880 5 is sometimes referred to as neil 30 conference. and at the time the conference with was convened by bist mark of the german was actually designed for the purpose of creating that it varies so that there would be no conflict. in other words, the powers would have their own 3030 best deal boat being from a small country called belgium, on feel full of his own cousin victoria in england was his cousin. he wanted to ensure that the 3030 in the free congo was safe from the intervention of everybody else. and therefore, the binding and conference drew the boundaries that we now know. he then came back to the phone. the freeze date is the bus to know 3030 and the trade has done time shifted from

not to be confused with its neighbors, the republic of the congo. the dsp is the largest country in sub saharan africa, and it's boarded by 9 countries. one of them are one that actually plays a big role in this tragedy. we'll come back to that later. an estimate to a 110000000 people live here in the deep sea. 3 out of 4 of them often don't have access to even the basics, shelter, clean drinking water and enough food. one and 12 children here dies before the age of 12. the d. c is among the 5 porous countries in the world. it's this misery that drives hundreds of thousands of companies to work in mining sites like this one. and that's why we want to start the story. this is dangerous work in dangerous conditions and for just a few dollars a day child labor threats and violence often reported not to mention the vast environmental damage. all these things are happening because of the rush for riches under the ground. an estimate to $24.00 truly in the us dollars worth of minerals live beneath the surface of a country. that is effectively one of the r

we now have 36 republics. and so when barbados became a republic, it just became one more republic. within the common law family. no one leaves the common law. every single country who has ever left has all of a come back or is applying to come back. so this commonwealth has never been stronger. and we have countries from a, we've never been paul to the british empire, a wanting to join us. i don't seem to go and most of the countries other who you're talking about. well, we have um, if you look at the countries who joined us, since we've had mozambique, we've had come a room, we've had one that we've caught togo, we've had a couple all these countries coming on when you ask them, based off to why they're looking at the things like you have a 21 percent advantage. if you trade with another commonwealth country, we have the same language we have the same common though. we have the same parliamentary system and the same institutions. now that 21 percent means that we've now grown into a commonwealth trade to 9 now is about 950000000000. it should be one trillion by 2026 to trillion by

this has led to a crisis in the republic and regardless of the outcome hinders of kazi, as development, the russian side expects that the current situation and up cause you will be resolved peacefully and through political means without interference in the countries internal process is now from what i understand the opposition on the incumbent government, the on talking directly to each other, the public chamber of a positive that has taken the on itself of the role of the media. is it 5? just a couple of hours ago, the delegation has left this building off to talking to the leaders of the opposition and they brought the message to the president they took to the president as well. right now, there is no solution. they haven't agreed on anything. but according to the representatives of the public chamber, well, these tools and these contacts, they will continue their work in the coming days as for how things stand right now . again, the opposition, they're saying that they're on the, on going anywhere. they are meeting the government halfway. they demand that the president and being tie

because it, it does get a bit chilly even though it is, uh, it is a southern republic, basically. uh, what this whole thing is about its the initiative over the incumbent government that would essentially allow it, it is cause major to move that would allow for and is to purchase land here in of cause. yeah. but people here, the protest is the old position. they are saying that this would open the door for only gods to move in and just and just the buyout will the sweetest sports and essentially the free. yeah. that, that would to and uh, applies. you have to read this from public or into and the only gawky basically will be ruled by these for an oligarchs. that's why they don't want this again. uh, some have been portraying this protest as an anti russian one because it, because of it is against the investment agreements with russia. but again, the protest is, and one of the, one of the leaders of the opposition who i've personally spoken to recently, they have told me that it is not the case. we have seen russians, flags along with the flags of the republic of, of kazi, at, in t

this is the parliament in the capital of the home and the republic of applause. you protest is all gathered ham. they're prepared to spend the night, they aren't going anywhere anytime soon over here you can see that they've brought barrows. they are burning wood. there's uh, there's more over that just to just to keep people know what this whole thing is about. it is about the investment agreement in russia, it's the initiative over the incumbent government that would essentially allow if it is passed into and made into little that would allow for and is to purchase land here in of cause. yes, but people here, the protest as the opposition, they are saying that this would open the door for only gods to move in. and just and just the buyout tool, the sweetest spots, opposition, leaders inside this problem and building your has uh for us several points. basically he has v monthly denied any claims that uh, that anyone that the media some of the media has made that this is an antique russian protest. according to him, it is definitely not now uh at the same time th

it was a working visit for because the federal republic had not officially recognized the g d r as a state. and so the basic lawsuit gave them away and went that special case. hanukkah ignored the subtleties of protocol and use the visit to showcases state sovereignty. chancellor helmut kohl remained diplomatic and did not mention the wall. yeah, the machines agency did try the vin often v good is your 1st integral. one thing for i had in 1989, a young east berlin or put the claims of the c d regime to the test. 20 year old chris guest. roy took a risk and climbed over the wall. 10 bullets were fired at him. he became the walls last victim. do you do the ged are always wanted to be perceived as a sovereign, great state in the world community and such terrible incidents. so she didn't fit that image of coldness and the generated bad press. and so at some point, the c d leadership said this has to stop. it's giving us such a bad press, we won't get any more loans if indeed to me shortly after, on april 28th, 1989, the vin minister for state security efforts, milka revoked. the order to

of china slightly more than the people's republic of china which celebrated 75th anniversary. so tell us, why from your perspective, again, coming from europe in particular, why does taiwan matter? >> thank you, patrick, great to be back here and personal pleasure. for me if i rewind the clock back a little bit, almost 20 years ago in 2005 i was the head of the danish current affairs, china just entered a couple of years before that, the world trade organization that would lead both to continued open and liberalization to chinese society. that year in 2005 i was invited by chinese minister foreign affairs, we were at coastal city, taiwanese islands, telling me how peaceful everything would be and trade would solve everything and a couple of years later, opening up a lot of that trade with -- with china. that, of course, was very far away from how things turned out with china and now here almost two decades later as a did this book, part of that research, i was back in -- i was in taiwan on the other side in kenman and standing there looking over to shaman, mainland and the fou

the democratic republic of congo remained as the sphere of influence of the belgians. initially, the democratic republic of congo was the individual property of king leo ford on the belgians only migrated to belgium of the country a little later in time. the struggle for independence death was started in honest on the after the world war 2. and after the rise of the plan off with the movement on the rise and i get a sion of african independent fighters, we then hide the wave of independence with the gun uh, taking the lead on the 6th day of march of 1900 on 57 and the after wave of independence, which culminated in the, our, this type of conference we saw the bought the organizational bostwick on unit. and i can't remember solve very vividly caught this you of history. when on that day, every officer can lead the will spoke with a it was a z last see of if the up. yeah. which i've never been successfully punk good on who hosted confirms as a it was plum including them all gone or whether it was a different call or whether it was a nom de as if you, with all of them why you not the mo

because specifically on, particularly in uganda, on townsend, the, on different, the democratic republic of congo, 1 may ask and how did it come about? what was the seeds that jeremy nathan in this manner? they are those who say that during the period when the germans administered rolando rudy, they started so in this sense of discord by bringing in differentiation between the people who spoke the same language but identifying them by looking at the physical features on say these uh with those with the shut down noses on these are good, sees who are door law and of course they why that was they are those who also say that the administration that had been led by the what to why responsible for this. and in this regard, the administration of president, have you had him on whose desk on a dr. wisco leaving from of this mission in? i'd wish i was the immediate fuck of the general side when the plane was shot down on the what to do uh, operating on the, in the wrong way. or the people who i talked together started them on, i think the 2 tvs by calling them corporate. just, we now know that th

now in place across the uk, as storm bert brings high winds, rain and snow. 60,000 homes in the republicf ireland are without power after the storm struck overnight. a massive airstrike on a multi—storey building in the heart of lebanon's capital leaves 11 people dead and 63 injured. sean "diddy" combs faces further days in detention after a new yorkjudge delays a decision on whether to grant him bail. and the story of a guitar owned by the beatles star george harrison — and how it risked having a different owner. weather forecasters in the uk are warning of two amber alerts — meaning a risk to life and property — and several yellow alerts — indicating that some disruption to travel or daily activities is possible. they're predicting storm bert will bring up to 20 to 30 centimetres of snow across scotland and parts of northern and central england. weather warnings for heavy rain and high winds are also in place across the uk, including most of northern ireland, wales and cornwall. a crash has closed the m71; motorway in south lanarkshire, where weather conditions are said to be very poor

the coastal republic is reeling from 2 days of unrest. already over a propos, investment the russian president, us lun, shania saves, he will only meet demands to stand on in hopes of elections. if those rallying leave that the link are to correspond to decrease, develop reports from the countries capital circle, the stand off of the style made between the opposition and the incumbent. government continues. we are just outside the parliament buildings that is still occupied by the opposition. they've been here all the way through the night. you can see barrows like this one here on the a few over the in the back. they deliver them over the overnights to keep themselves room. now the opposition's demands to remain the same. they basically say that the president and the anti government has to resign and the president sofa has refused to meet to meet these demands. he has suggested that they should 1st vacate this building, and then only then he would step down and announce snap and elections. there was a lot of pressure on members of parlia

well, that all comes as a utah and is emerging from austria's neighbor, the czech republic. last year it proudly announced it was nearly 100 percent free of dependence on russian gas. but with the price of alternative energy sources on the rise, prague is reported to be quietly ramping up. it's important that the russians feel via slovakia and as the weather gets colder and with the guys from potentially closing the top of gas prices in europe have risen by rhonda stood since the summer while yearly peak levels were reached on thursday, climbing to more than $45.00, your right per megawatt hour. i discussed all this with global policy research and your samuel a, who's a politicians. i believe themselves to blame for the crisis. it will always have to keep in mind that this is entirely a self inflicted move on the part of the european nations of the you. if they happen to impose these sanctions on russia. if they have destroyed the north stream, a gas pipelines, i mean, none of these crisis would have happened. that immediate circumstances was this arbitration award of the in

reached its skirt and wants to meet 50 years since the beginning of the war. 40 years of the federal republic and the ged are the $200.00 the anniversary of the french revolution. i am against revolutions, so much is destroyed in those years of, of people. my own we have my diary to rent and raving about. this is legitimate states and it's even service i want to travel the world is so big really guess on this. this one's what right does the government have to imprison entire people? the, the berlin wall was soon a thing of the past. just a few days after its fall in november 1989. the 155 kilometers of once ominous reinforced concrete, became a cory for souvenir hunters, was coughing and coughing. the memo of a vague vice, each nation. yeah. was it really involved was the symbolic expression of the cold war to the rest of the world. and it stood for the confrontation between the major powers all ends to a certain extent, while it represented the divided europe and ends all found. and in this respect, of course, the fall of the wall was also symbolic. and provided images that people could iden

it's not like the republics ruling party does not want to cooperate with the west. in fact, it is open. so that partnership, but only on his own terms. we can, together with the george and people logically complete the european path, we started and become a member of the european union while preserving our dignity, internal and external enemies should not be allowed to destroy georgia. meanwhile, for location of leaders, the perfect future is the u. they've been proposed to include the provision on your opinions of gratian in the countries constitution. the referendum was won by a majority vote, and this majority vote allows for the introduction into the constitution. the principle that involves the republic of model was accession to the european union support and citizens for this past. and the international community dispatched the will of the citizens. but again, what about the georgia, the legitimacy of its election is question by the west. why as well, because contrary to moldova, georgia's elected party is choosing a route of sovereignty and independence. geor

well, it's a separate this republic on that it is a self proclaimed republic, and that's wide, 4 to 4 with, with georgia. and it received huge help with russia, and as a result of 250000 georgia's, had to flee their homeland. and to give you a sort of a picture. so today there are 260000 residents living and of cause the so they, they are very much close to russia. they enjoy huge financial support from russia. and it is very much isolated. and that doesn't really have any connections with the rest of the wild. and what's interesting that to it's the pictures and the videos that we have seen from there, it's difficult to get access to that territory. it's, it's seems to be stuck in the ninety's the building says will destroy doing the war there. so, you know, they're destroyed and it seems to be that this republic didn't make any sort of pro christ. and those sort of such a yes of south proclaimed the independence. the fact that this plan, which would have allowed russians to buy property and the cause of this plan has now been scrap. does that tell you that russia's influence there i

of the nations league after they concluded their campaign with a comprehensive 5—0 win over the republicf ireland. natalie pirks was watching at wembley. a distinctly frustrating first half with ireland defending robustly, gave way to a pulsating second half from an english perspective. the party started when liam scales were sent off for a tackle in the box onjude bellingham. england's captain harry kane scored the penalty and the floodgates opened, what followed were five goals inside 26 minutes, four which were the players�* first for their country. anthony gordon, conor gallagher, jarrod bowen, just 30 seconds after coming off the bench with his first touch and taylor harwood—bellis all scoring for england. that emphatic win meant lee carsley had handed eight players their debuts. and with all the talk of players that weren't here, players that were did a fantasticjob. for the new manager thomas tuchel great because he has avoided having to go straight into nation league playoffs, they have been promoted back to the nation's league group a and he can go straight into world cup qualif

going to save for band, you know, and of course, the democratic republic of congo. but somebody the one. but these are political parties that i imagined to assist the colonialist in on a gun. i as the money and bill guys this some initially is for the put down to have representation i, the time the core for independence is not in things the people i say, we want to be really presented in the legislative concepts. we want our people to be presented in this so that the mind for independence is not as incense, but i've got in the gains in defendants. in 1947, the queue is immediately taken and i've done chrome. i comes back to gun and he joins that. you would just, you see on the find that the jew, and just as he is not doing that very good work is thoughts, is, seems to be on the safe independence now on when the car for independence stays independence. now, the pressure is not blowing at different levels. remember of the kind of divided into c as of influence? the c as of interest add the range $3030.00, the punch again. 33 is the british. 33 is the jump on. it's of
