u. s. is does not. and i think that that is, that, that should be from the us perspective, that should be a real cause for concern in terms of why, why hasn't the united states at least been able to keep up, been able to, maybe accelerate and go ahead a spring as an economy news, our brazil and china have struck a deal to ditch the u. s. dollar in favor of their own currency is for bilateral trade transactions. an agreement and setting pain. and since one has been signed with brazil, which greatly facilitates our trait, we are planning to expand corporation in the field of food and mineral extraction. and to search for a possibility of exporting goods with high added value from china to brazil, and from brazil to china. the deal enables china, i'm the biggest economy in latin america to conduct financial transactions directly without converting their currencies into us dollars. the new arrangement is expected to reduce costs and facilitate bilateral trade added investments. china remains brazil's larges

there is no doubt that the u. s. is looking squarely added geopolitical adversaries if you will, as it looks into the growing influence of china and that of russia on the continent . and it is trying very hard to make sure that it comes out on top is already identified a china as, as a villain, blaming and behind african debt problem. seeing that if it wasn't for china handing out money and, and seriously, and entering numerous african countries and dragging its feet when it comes to re negotiating. the said that, that african, and i'd be where it is. and we heard when genet jaelyn the us treasury secretary when she came around earlier this year she penned the current food crisis on, on russia, following the conflict. ready ukraine and a journalist asked her specifically if the u. s. is in a tug of war for the continent in order to win the influence here on african grass. fine for influence, just isn't the focus of my visit at all. i know it's a completely natural question. it is not at all what i am focused on. our i

u. s. is never investigated for crimes, even though there war crimes are substantial and now to the don't yet to a public where at least 3 people are being killed. and more than $100.00 wounded by a band petal, anti personnel mines scattered across residential areas by the ukrainian military ortiz, mon calls or of spoke with 2 of the latest victims. 2 more civilians were wounded here in ask. both of them stepped on a so called that'll mind they're also known as anti personnel mines and they're prohibited. now, ukraine, they've been throwing these mines around in residential areas here in the nest for over a year. and now the spring time has come. many of the petal mines are surfacing on the ground and they're not visible to the naked eye. and as a result, people get hurt almost on a daily basis. right now i will speak to the latest victims how these special mines . yeah. what on, what could you live? it's from michael. i went tell, talk the talk in the morning. we always take the same route an

u. s, so i'm just struggling with ukraine in the picture. why is the u. s. going into these waters at all? well, it is the 2nd time in a week that a u. s. destroyer has been pushed out of these waters by china. if it happens again, how will china react? well, i don't think that china wants to, you know, have any kind of escalation in this. they've done so before. remember, the theory is that the u. s. is protecting trade, but it's china who's sad. this r, c e p, this regional economic gob comprehensive economic partnership, which is now one of the largest economic partnership in the world outside the north american corridor. so it's, it's hard to believe that they would interfere with trade that would, in essence, heard china. it's the u. s. as i said, it's people are puzzled why with all the problems in the world is the u. s. pressing this at this point, there's a lot of feeling that china's initiatives with in terms of ukraine, in terms of going, are you russia talking piece, and also trying to bring powers in the middle east together on their own terms wit

and now more important than ever, it is the u. s. site, not the chinese site that is supplying a steady stream of weapons to the battlefield. the u. s. site is not qualified to dictate to the chinese site. we also never accept the u. s. dictating will even coercing pressure on sino russian relations. the more unstable the world becomes, the more imperative it is for china and russia to steadily advance their relations . while russia has accused washington of pressing the west to adopt a hostile approach to the 2 nations, let loose the world in order to pursue their course of domination, primarily in the interest of containing russia and china, the americans lacked her own forces, which is why they need what they are doing now, not a partial, but a complete mobilization of the western camp shows our relationship with the people's republic of china, of course is going through absolutely the best times in the history of this relationship our leaders say. so you remember how these relations were characterized by our chinese friends in

u. s. is pretty much been running the world as you would a mafia style racket, you know, resorting to exactly the same techniques that matthew results to control a city. so you know, x, torsion, bullying, black, male, violence, and murder. that's pretty much how the u. s. has been running the world for the past for, for, for most of the past 7 years, what it hasn't realized is that that world has changed. now what used to be a fed very powerful kingpin that controlled the entire city has now turned into an old, slightly seen our man that doesn't control much of the city. i eat much of the world anymore. in fact, controls only a few. you know, small neighborhoods in that city, namely, you know what the so called collective west. and that's because now you have countries that have stood up that are standing up against the u. s. power, and that has been the case for quite some time. so if we look at ukraine and nato's involvement and ukraine, the most glaring fact is that the u. s. as a managed t

u. s. is declining. and whatever the case, china, we're not to come to pressure so the earth will continue to bill. like you said, brick a, c, o, and other south south. no collaboration seems, for example, last year in november, 1st time ever, e r a v at ahead, a states meeting with china. this is the 1st time in history that is head of state level by the administer level, which was the previous 4. so these are things which are beginning to build momentum, and what's happening in the middle east is very clear as in countries is also very clear. so we were euro, you, you region mass with russia, china, i see in countries the middle east and the central asian countries, alive and supporting each other and treat each other with proper respect. yeah, very very interesting commentary that from a leo young sion senior fellow with a typhoid institute and co founder of impact asia capital limited a real pleasure having you on the program today. thank you very much for your time . thank you. thank you. as i conti

u. s. is the, you know, polar headroom on that nobody could live without america, but less than 10 years later. how well did these remarks hold up after a barrage of sanctions against china, russia, venezuela, and a number of others fails to hit them where it hurts this week will explore the rising multi polar world order. all right, let's get into the m o. me 20 years ago, it was almost unthinkable. the u. s. losing its status as the so called leader of the free world. wow. at least in the bubble of washington d. c. that is 20 years ago. nobody in the swamp could have predicted the rise of china like this, or the formation of the brick block. and president obama as little as 9 years ago highlighted this belief himself was in fact by most measures. 2 america has rarely been stronger relative to the rest of the world. those who argue otherwise, the suggest that america is in decline are seen as a global leadership slip away. either misreading history or engaged in partisan politics. think about

and it is, it's significant to the u. k. i believe is about 7000000000 pounds worth of deposits, and the u. k. government is going to have to take some steps to address this collapse. otherwise, it will have an effect from monday on firms that need to draw down money to pay salaries to cheap subscriptions. and to keep these businesses taking over they, they tend to have quite concentrated deposits in this, in this bank, both the u. k and u. s. climes off the bank and it is going to affect other countries. there's no doubt. and of course we said earlier that this is the 2nd largest bank failure in u. s. history yet. it janet jaelyn says, sir, yes, we want to avoid contagion, but no way they'll be a bailout. what do you make of the comment? i don't think it's not surprising to be honest. i and it seems we have lost alistair, alistair, well, then that would have been such a an interesting answer. no doubt to that question, but we have to leave it there. that was alistair, well, man, there pops, will get him back. meanwhile, the

that is done by the u. s. and is all i've let alone when they're dealing with the aftermath of severe earthquakes and then having to deal with that ongoing tragedy as well as continued attacks and bombings by israel. do you expect to see more outrage on a global scale right now? you know, we're seeing actually i'm in the movement and the c h has literally started off to the right to try and get the sanction lifted. we then of course, have the vote in the senate where 414 voted to keep the see. the sanctions which were brought under the administration some of the most for me, some of the my statistic sanctions i've ever seen unprecedented where they will target any country that comes to the age of syria. so not only are they sanctioning syria and the syrian people and the sanctions are unilateral, corrosive measures. they effectively destroy syrian society and they are slowly killing the syrian people in what i call syria central, which is under the protection of the syrian government. obviously the us is still

u. s. is called on washington to stop what he called hostile flights near his country's border. anatoly, anton offs. comments came after a collision between a u. s. spy drone and a russian fighter jet in international airspace near ukraine. washington says a russian plane hit its unmanned aircraft and forced to crush into the black sea. it's the 1st encounter. it's 1st direct encounter between russia on the u. s. since russia's full scale invasion of ukraine last year. the u. s. m. q $93.00 per jerome, like the one in this file footage was forced to crash into the black sea because the dangerous russian interference. that's what the u. s. military is alleging the democrats, what we shall, again, we're, we're fighter aircraft jumping fuel in front of this, you avi, and then getting so close to the aircraft that it actually damaged the propeller on the m q 9. this type of behavior from these russian pilots that is uncommon and unfortunate and unsafe. the u. s. summoned brush as ambassador over t

now actually it is literally an e u compensation scheme that we're dealing with here. but apparently now any and all shady ness is supposed to be just swept under the rug if it's related to ukraine. massena, u. s. official says the american movie has been severely hand an immense ability to gather intelligence on the black sea following a recent incident with a rough and fight agent. the u. s. decision to fly surveillance drones further south over the black sea. after russia, jack collided with us drone early this month. definitely limits our ability to gather intelligence that into evolved the u. s. hunter could draw known as a ring per russian officials have denied the 2 aircraft actually collided. they said that the drone crashed off to an abrupt maneuver. the u. s. military has reported the started flying is survey across further from the coast of crimea and at a high altitude, avoid a direct military confrontation with russia and international consultant and retired u. s. army left turn and colonel earl robinson says it's going to be difficult for washington to con

u. s. defense funding is actually that of the private contractors. they're estimates the over the past year. independent recipients got more than half of washington's entire national security budget. of the u. s. inspect the journal and dentist on has warned that this could signal corruption between the government and that of the military industrial complex. you are bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the whole government, but also of us government contractures or other 3rd party contractors to try to feel the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson. i've been in washington since 92 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately, just remember, let's give you a comparison and take a look at how the cost for the ukraine war effort compared with those of other major conflicts that essentially waste by washington. so, spending on military a to key f as actually surpass the annual us funding of its previous wa

but the main power broker here for this is the d. u pay the main unionist party. we pulled out the power sharing in the store want assembly more than a year ago in protest over the protocol. it is they who have to be satisfied and they are not going to be rushed into passing judgment. they're going to go through it line by line as jeffrey donaldson, their leader said, and make sure that when they come to this decision, it's the right one. and it's a consensus why then within the policy they will want to know that they steal basically safe guards. the northern islands constitutional positions within the united kingdom. and that the role of european law is kept as minimal as possible in northern ireland. and that trade is essentially unfettered. why does it matter well, and till the d u p are content with this deal, they will not return to power sharing here at store month and northern ireland will effectively remain without a function in government. and that is having a real impact on services like health and education, things that matter. perhaps more than the prot

u. s. is also estimated to spend on ukraine more about half of the money bid on average per year in vietnam. of course, both the vietnam war and f canister on war, they will, they will big, big failures for washington. despite the massive toes on the economy and public sentiments about the government, i mean, there's still no clear indication of a potential limit to the u. s. commitment to the ongoing conflict in ukraine. well, we had a chance to speak with a retired american air force, lieutenant colonel, who says, says bipartisan support for ramping up ukraine's war effort. as congressmen are often directly funded by the military industrial complex, i know how the u. s. senate gets reelected and they get re elected through their relationships and the donors that they have in this country. and a, a many of those are from the defense sector. and so, you know, it's not in their interest to reduce spending. it's not in their interest to ask hard questions that may lead to the reduction in that s

u. s. has used the threat of nuclear weapons in order to get its way in. and usually it's been against the 3rd world countries and non nuclear countries. why is the u. s threatening nuclear war with russia now? well, that so rush actually changed it's policy. so now it, it's policy is it can use nuclear weapons if the existence of the nation is, are threatened. and this is in conformance with the world, our court decision about 13 or 14 years ago. which said, the generally speaking, ah, use an possession of nuclear weapons, is a legal, except if the threat of, than of the nation is, is at rest in, in it's important to understand perceptions because this is what got us in trouble in the past with the cuban missile crisis in the nuclear crisis of 1983 was a lack of understanding how the other side felt. and rush has been very clear on, particularly since 2008. that it identifies the expansion of nato, and particularly the nato ization of ukraine. as red lines that are cannot be crossed. so from the russian point of view, whether you agree with it or not, ah, from their point of view, the existence of russia itself is at risk. and so therefore, therefor

is essentially unfettered. why does it matter? well, until the d u p. are content with this deal, they will not return to power sharing here at store month and northern ireland will effectively remain without a function in government. and that is having a real impact on services like health and education, things that matter. perhaps more than the protocol, perhaps more than this when the framework to normal people in northern ireland where we talents inside story in belfast. here's how the so called north mile and protocol has been changed when the u. k. left the e. u. a customs border was drawn between all the island and the rest of the united kingdom, which angered unionists. but now under the new window framework, goods will be separated into a green lane for items traveling to northern ireland and a red lane for those. moving into the e. u ah, let's bring in, i guess, for this edition of inside story in london, we have jill rutter, a senior research fellow at u. k. in a change in europe. she's also a senior fellow at the institute for government and

u. s. is warning russia against an escalation after collision between the u. s. spy drone and a russian fighter jet in international airspace. new ukraine, washington says the russian plane hit its unmanned aircraft and force it to crash into the black sea. russia says there was no contact and described the u. s. statement as a provocation. it's the 1st direct encounter between us and russian forces. since russia's full scale invasion of ukraine, the u. s. m. q $93.00 per jerome. like the one in this file footage, was forced to crash into the black sea. because the dangerous russian interference . that's what the u. s. military is alleging that the aircraft, what we shall, again, we're, we're fighter aircraft jumping fuel in front of this, you avi. and then getting so close to the aircraft that it actually damaged the propeller on the m q 9. this type of behavior from these russian pilots that is uncommon and unfortunate and unsafe. the u. s. summoned brush as ambassador over the incident. moscow denies direct involvement. it's ambassador is calling the incide

ah, my sense is that because continental of the u. s. financial system banking system. government a finest. it's a totally law is fight whatever government try to pull it, you know, they are reaching a kind of, i believe in a less seek a conditions now was this other color? so i doubt they can play reagan nomics one more time. i just don't see it present. jackline, jenn, i'll stop you that more after this break. ah ah ah ah ah, ah ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it treat even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful. very katy killed time. time to sit down and talk ah, welcome back to going underground. i'm still here with professors young jin chinese international relations scholar. distinguish fellow at the simpson center. i know you say it was a long time coming, but do you think the chinese communist party was at watching the defeat in afghanistan as well as the rio reaction by r

u is as well. we all remember, newland call that was league where she was describing her disdain for the you. and i think you can only do that if you have effective control over the organization. so that's the problem that europe finds itself in, effectively a protector. it of the united states, regardless of what nato may call itself, or how it may brand itself, the you find itself trying to itself and a protector position. so it doesn't have the ability to lead an independent policy. and that's been seen by germany, germany, his interests are within tighter economic cooperation with russia. and that's how we got the north stream pipelines. and that's not in the interest of a us protector. it. and that's how we got the north stream pipelines destroyed as seem. workers came out with his studies of how about probably happened and indicate that the u. s. was involved, which doesn't really surprise anybody. you know, you had bite and going out there saying we're going to end it and we're almost out of

u. s. is anxiety and fear about a peacefully rising china given what is same and what is china's reaction likely to be then in the, in the medium to long term. i think this only strengthens the view ah, that has been articulated by presidency and things while the foreign minister that if the u. s. continues down this path, ah, it raises the risk of outright conflict. and of course, this is not good for china, but it's also not good for the us as well as we all know. the u. s. is economically intertwined with china, as are many other countries around the world. so these destabilizing actions really are counterproductive, in many, many aspects. i mean, well, military hardware alone, the enough for this august aligns to succeed in its goals don't. that's such a great point. so the u. s. is in a sense, has one tool to play which is, are to use, which is it's military. what if we look at china's approach, of course it invest in is upgrading its military capabilities. but it is making significant ga

u. s. canadian military is completely integrated with the u. s. military, the canadian arms industry is basically branch plant of us armed companies. can a companies benefit from pentagon spending their special provision that allows canadian arms companies to sell the pentagon as if they are in fact american company? so canada has been deeply integrate.

u. s. a said the measure it could potentially jeopardize democratic procedures. this is just the latest in a long list of issues that have harmed relations between the u. s. and it southern neighbor, mexico, immigration policies and drug trafficking have been points of contention. and the mason for the even boy called it the summit. the americans hosted by the u. s. last year. fast enough was reportedly because the u. s. deliberately did not invite the leaders of cuba. nicaragua, i've been as well. we heard from latin american studies professor daniel. sure. he says it is high time for mexico to stand up against washington's imperialistic approaches to the region. we've seen a lopez over the lord who has become increasingly anti imperialist, increasingly bold. this is a very welcome change in the tone of the mexican president who for how many decades when they were representatives of the p, r i of the pre they were nothing but stooges and lackeys of u. s. foreign policy and u. s. interests. so certainly, i'm those tone i think comes as a surprise to the state department

u. b. s. a is a kinder offer, hugged, and marriage between 2 lame dogs, of course, ah, to situation with a kid decrease, i was going badly, but u b. s. as now a longstanding aisd traits are also bad records are in banking and i'm, i don't believe that it's east kind of marriage a clue. so, in the long term, that crises for ordinary workers and communities, it essentially means that regardless of what your economy actually produces, be the cars, energy medicines are high tech services and all accounts for nothing. if a major bank fails, leaving ordinary citizens to face the catastrophic consequences of that failure, this leaves us to ask ourselves what the actual value of these vast financial institutions is to the societies they've so badly failed. while these institutions provide some payment and transaction services to their wealthy depositors and borrowers, the rest is essentially investment banking, which focuses exclusively on making money for guess who. that's right, the investment bank and i

prager, u. is offering an educational alternative to people who feel that they have been ill served by their high schools and by by their colleges. and and now actually. prager, you like the daily wire, is offering children's content as well. we just believe that people deserve an alternative. one example outside of the book club for a video that we've done, a prager u is i've given a video on the history of christopher columbus. this is a man without whom none of us would be here. this is the man who discovered the americas. he has been terribly maligned in the last 20 years by people who are utterly ignorant of the history of this man and his motivations and what really happened. and i'm reminded of of pope's warning that a little, little learnin is a dangerous thing. people who read one sentence about christopher columbus and and really don't know the whole story. so we present that that side and and because the popular culture is so opposed to tradition and the inherited wisdom of the ages, a l

is playing beyond the borders of the alliance. the u. s. is using crane as a puppet. in reality, it's not in the interest of the e. u to support the ukrainian conflict and the sanction regime against russia. however, there is a bloodthirsty atmosphere of war among e, you politicians, finland, being a member of the european union, has also recently joined the chorus of western voices ratcheting up the pro war rhetoric against russia. and that's a new position for europe actually, which over the past few decades hasn't always blindly cited with washington for her french president jacques. she at auckland, german chancellor. gerhard schroeder, allied with russian president vladimir putin against the u. s. invasion of iraq, for example. and that was at a time when washington was looking to build that so called coalition of the willing . and that descent is actually what kept europe out of that particular quagmire to the economic and other benefit of the entire block and people of europe. today though, where's the voice of reason in europe? well hungarian prime minister, vi

is able to continue this war indefinitely. while the us seems to be running more on a schedule, because already the u. s. is stretched between the ukraine front and the taiwan front weapons manufacturers are several years behind delivery and taiwan isn't getting the weapons that they have ordered. so the u. s. is getting stressed and nato partners and partners are not completely happy with the situation due to the economic issues that germany has suffered in particular with energy prices, the u. k. has been hit with energy prices going up. and this is all a result of the sanctions and the ongoing war in the you and the ukraine. and the u . s. isn't letting us partners out of this situation, so it's putting pressure on nato much more. i think that it's putting pressure on russia. well yeah, it's a very interesting point. georgie. and i've always said that nato was never, never designed actually, to fight a war like disappear power. okay. it was a, i'm in georgia, i a bit older. it was always kind of it a bit of a dinner club. okay. it wasn't designed to do to actually be a military. and in, in a, in a conv

is playing beyond the borders of the lines. the u. s. is using crane as a puppet. in reality, it's not in the interest of the e. u to support the ukrainian conflict and the sanction regime against russia. however, there is a blood thirsty atmosphere of war. among e, you, politicians. with the hungarian prime minister to oregon says the you and his leaders are taking a pro war stance with more thought given to supplying more weapons to care. rather than finding a diplomatic solution. the number of countries supporting peace instead of war has not increased at all. people want peace while e u leaders are taking a pro war stance for them. the main issue continues to be deciding which weapons to send to ukraine. it is slowly becoming a legitimate question among e u. leaders, whether e u. member states could send peacekeeping troops to ukraine in some form. well, those comments are, came as a you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell called for europe to increase its military spending. adding brussels as ready to provide key f with another package of financial support. eu

i mean, in any way, is this also a chance for a new chapter between the u. s. and the company, or is it not really well at least, chris, the, i would say that the relationship between the us and china and the same is true between the us and you are way, is probably not necessarily getting any better. i mean, they had been some hint out of d. c that some of the licenses that actually got granted to you of a could be revoked. meaning that certain parts from companies like intel or crowd come in, the future might not be allowed to to get sold. so it does look at this point that the relations might rather get a bit a tougher. there also some movement when it comes to take talk, so they also could be ben against a tick tock in the next couple of weeks or months. so it does not look like a tension will ease at all when it comes to the economic relationships between china. and united states. ok, yes, i want to go in another direction with you for a 2nd. now, j powell, the head of the u. s. federal reserve. he has to answer some questions before a congressional committe

u. k. has been hit with energy prices going up. and this is all a result of the sanctions and the ongoing war in the you in the ukraine, and the u. s. isn't letting its partners out of this situation. so it's putting pressure on nato much more, i think, than it's putting pressure on russia. well yeah, it's a very interesting point, george, and i've always said that nato was never, never designed actually to fight a war like disappear power. ok. it was a, i'm in georgia, i bit older. it was always kind of it a bit of a dinner club. okay. it wasn't designed to do actually be a military, i mean in a, in a conventional sense. it was more political and, and this is what they faced georgia. let's talk about the issue of d. i d notification because that's the the 2nd prong that is have been never really been discussed much in the west. they just think is frivolous. but you and i know exactly what that means. the recipe regime change. you cannot have the current regime still in power. ok, and that is something that i'm on the west is going to have to

is a red line. as according to the u. s. de secretary and the blanket in response to a grilling by american sentences. whether the p r c is said to you or to anybody that works the state department, any of our diplomats that there are some sort of red line involved with us stepping up our foreign military for no one to the extent they've ever tried to anything like that, that's not something that we would obviously take into account while washington has brushed off beijing's red lines. u. s. officials have long tried to draw such lines if that to provide lethal support to the russians and their brutal attack against ukraine that, that is unacceptable. again, that, that would be a red line. what i want to do with him when we talk is lay out what, what, what kind of what each of our red lines are. a red line for us is we start saying a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around for being utilized. will off a journalist and act of as thomas fuzzy say, c u s. approach is obsolete is washington and germany is being confronte

well seasoned bids lay from dw business is here to break this all down for me. hi, steven. now, media report say u b. s is offered to buy credits with rapture $1000000000.00. what's the likelihood of a deal today, and would this help com markets tomorrow? it's hard to know what the likelihood of a deal is today without being inside the negotiations are very, very close to them. we know that the swiss government is likely to want a deal today. however, it's probably going to be putting pressure on regulators and on u. b. s. to make this deal happen. and that's because it doesn't want an uncertain situation to be there. as markets reopen again, and the preferred method to unwind is kind of situations is for a take over from another bank. otherwise the regulators would have to step in and take over the bank themselves. it creates a much more clear picture when that's the case, and that's what they want come monday. when markets are reopen, you know, in terms of what it means for markets, it's really hard to say because there is such a psychological aspect to what we've seen going on. credit suisse ha
