u. s. and australia have accused the framework agreement to china, solomon island security cooperation of lacking transparency. the trilateral security partnership between the u. s. u k, in australia, u. k, u s. is precisely a back room deal that is not open. all transparent island countries in the south pacific are independent sovereign states, not backyards of the us and australia. some concerns were raised by cambra after the solomon islands recently signed a security part with china. it prompted a speedy visit. the us officials to the islands who made their feelings clear if steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power projection capabilities, or a military installation. the delegation noted that the united states would then have significant concerns and respond accordingly. now the security parts allows beijing to send police and military personnel to the solomon islands, to quote, assist in maintaining social order. and wild chinese warships could stop in port for what they call logistical replenishment. the local governments insist there won't be a base there. all the talk from the u. s. the red lines when it comes to security sto

u. k. u. s. and poland between them, they say that they are sending in tanks ammunition for how it says at grenade launchers or because they say that this is what the ukranian army needs to match. the capabilities over the russian army and the u. k. armed forces minister has said it is completely legitimate, ukrainian army, to use such heavy weaponry to attack targets in russia is completely legitimate for ukraine to be targeting in russia's depth in order to disrupt the logistics. that if they weren't disrupted, would directly contribute to beth and carnage on ukrainian soil. could they use british ordinance at all to do that is only concern. any of them weapons we've given them for defensive purposes, get used in that without causing problems? well, i think it is, i see the case that things that the international community are now providing to ukraine, half the range to, ah, to be used over the borders. despite the fact that these weapons have already been flowing into quite for the last few months, nato hasn't been very clear. it does not intend to put troops on the ground. however, that could possibly be too late. already, the russian foreign minister said a laugh has been talking about the fact that you need to itself is

u. k and u. s. government, for example, the white helmets recorded to be something that everybody should get behind because supposedly they were just rescuing civilians in the, in the event of a bombing attacks. but the reality was very different. they were primarily a propaganda tool and a tool for spreading this information and we're trying to escalate the involvement of, of nato in the syrian conflict. and so the concern is that the same thing could happen in ukraine. they are advancing truth that they aren't in that same justice and they are there as protagonist and manipulators basically. you know, as we know, the zalinski government is trying urgently to pressure and cajole nieto countries to intervene in the conflict. so that would be the pretext. ok to more global use not to bring you in the program. nika, rog usa is it's quit the organization of american states, the world's oldest regional body, explaining the decision, the country's foreign minister claim the group was nothing but quote,

u. k, u, the u. s. polls in france actually tend to be correct, especially when it comes to the presidential election, as you said. and my call is in the lead with 10 points even more depending on which 4 you're looking at. but they asked of 2 factors that could change things. first of all, as i mentioned in my report, the fact that more than 10 percent of the voters still don't know who they will vote for. and then secondly, the extension rate at pulses are expecting between 20 or 25 percent of voters not turning out to vote if that were much higher. that could mean that some of those who are willing to wait for a my, my call, but not whole heartedly. so they only want to block marina penn from getting to far, if they see that the polls i am showing that my core will win anyway. and they didn't turn out to vote, that could have a negative impact of my course result. so it's not really quite clear what the result will be to morrow. and why is this race between these 2 candidates so tight compared to 5

u. s. the u. k. and poland. they've announced that they are sending tanks, they sending ammunition from how it says a grenade launchers. and all of this is due to the fact that these countries say that they need the ukrainian army to be able to match the capabilities of the russian army. the u. k. defense secretary has also been speaking saying it is completely legitimate for ukraine to use any weaponry that it sends to it against russian targets on russian soil. completely legitimate for ukraine to be targeting in russia's depths in order to disrupt the logistics that if they weren't disrupted, would directly contribute to death and carnage on ukrainian soil. could they use british ordinance at all to do that is only concern. any of them weapons we've given them for defensive purposes, get used in that without causing problems? well, i think it is certainly the case that things that the international community are now providing to ukraine, half the range to, ah, to be used over the borders. now what all of thes

u. s. and the u. k. was drawing a red line in the solomon islands that is 9000 miles from the united states, a 1000 kilometers from australia, the u. s. in the u. k. say, that's a red line. now ukraine is less than one millimeter from russia. russia has no sphere of influence. and meanwhile, the u. s. and the u. k. apparently haven't, haven't taken the whole pacific the pacific ocean. and my question would be this, does the solomon islands have a red line? apparently there's no sovereignty, it only applies to ukraine. it does not apply to the solomon's island. i mean, they have broken the hypocrisy meter here in the last few days. well, i think garland, that's why the global south doesn't want to have anything to do with this because they, the further you get away from london in washington, the more hypocritical it seems. ok, that's why they're not throwing their lot in this. they had to take care of their people. they're thinking about their own sovereignty and not make allowing others to dictate what th

u. k, the u. s. claiming that moscow was in no position to report on the conflict in ukraine, which is absurd. russia has every right to have a media outlet and to report on these issues. and then it also does big the question as to whether or not the b, b. c, for example, was in a position to cover iraq and afghanistan when they outright lied about weapons of mass destruction. for example. not only was this completely false, but it was intentional deception coming from the b. b. c. again, complete hypocrisy. when you, thanks for joining us here in asi international as always, you can find plenty more stories on our website to aussie dot com. ah, ah, nice to come to the russians state to never. i've tied us on the most landscape diva. i'm not getting calls all set up with it within the 55 we did. okay, so mine is coupon speaking with we will ban in the european union. the kremlin, yup, machines the state on russia today and switch r t sport neck, even our video agency roughly all band to on youtube

u. k, the u. s. claiming that moscow is in no position to report on the conflict in ukraine, which is absurd. russia has every right to have a media outlet and to report on these issues. and then it also does big the question as to whether or not the b, b. c, for example, was in a position to cover iraq and afghanistan when they outright lied about weapons of mass destruction. for example. not only was this completely false, but it was intentional deception coming from the b. b. c. again, complete hypocrisy. when you, thanks for joining us here in asi international as always, you can find plenty more stories on our website to aussie dot com. ah, ah, ah. ah ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation let it be in arms right.

u. k. and the u. s. forcing the germans to do it. i mean, the chancellor of germany, i com. sergeant schultz because that's exactly how he acts. go ahead, earl. yes, absolutely, here and then this is going to have a, i don't think the west completely prepared for this. ah, but i also think get a secondary intent of this not only was, was directed towards russia, but i think also was directed towards europe because one of the yeah, one of that they had all the docs vince is to prevent europe from researching and create inter revenge to close of business ties. ah, yeah. but with her to maintain us dominant here. oh, i agree with you. i agree with you, but isn't it kind of a hollow victory? i mean, you want had gemini, you want to maintain your head gemini in europe, but then europe just becomes a poor house. i mean, how is that a victory in the long term? let me throw that to john. go ahead, john. you react to that? well, it's not a victory, it's, it's caught making a desert and calling it piece that i think that the cutting off of gas

u. k. in the u. s. forcing the germans to do it. i mean, the chancellor of germany, i com. sergeant schultz because that's exactly how he acts. go ahead, earl. yes, absolutely, here and then this is going to have a, i don't think the west completely prepared for this. ah, but i also think get a secondary intent of this not only was, was directed towards russia, but i think also was directed towards europe because one of the yeah, one of the things all the docs vince is to prevent europe from researching and create and to prevent too close of business ties. ah, yeah. but with better to maintain us dominant. yeah. monroe, i agree with you. i agree with you, but isn't it kind of a hollow victory? i mean, you want had gemini, you want to maintain your head gemini in europe, but then europe just becomes a poor house. i mean, how is that a victory in the long term? let me throw that to john. go ahead, john. you react to that? well, it's not a victory, it's, it's caught making a desert and calling it piece that i think that the cutting off of gas is going to be the next escalation. it's already started with poland and bulgaria, or the europeans for one minute say that they will pay in roubles in another minute, say that they won't. and unless the escalation, which has been explicitly threatened by vladimir putin notably against britain, unless at escalation takes a military form. i don't know what exactly he means. maybe he means some kind of a hypersonic strike on a british target. unless he means that the logical next step is indeed the escalation that you have mentioned, namely cutting off the gas supplies. even if those gas supplies were cut off for, let's say a week, the rise in gas prices would be so catastrophic, and the effect on the markets would be so immense that that would itself strike a very severe blow as, of course would a permanent cutoff. so yes, i think europe is stuck in the middle. europe has cooled the wrong as, as back the wrong holes on this because europe has happened. this happened so many times in the past takes the flag, but decisions which are taken in the united states. well, i alex, i mean let me finish it with you here. i mean, they are the are western publics prepared for the long term, long cold war, even if it flares up with that with russia they prepared for that 30 seconds. no, you're not. absolutely not lucky. europe right now is taking a look at the euro. is right now, i mean, we saw this during 1999 during castile europe was hit, the euro was hit, the u. n was hit ignored completely as well as russia. 3 birds with one stone back, then this is exactly the same type of thing and it makes you fake why this could have been predicted at this. could be this paradigm shift. everybody's talking about. russia could be a useful step by actually shutting down oil. what is it we're going electric? what are we doing there should be some mastermind up there who's completely off his rocker. who thinks that this is a good thing? it'll always be what could have been gentlemen? that's all the time we have here. i want to thank my guest and i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at ortiz. see you next time and remember, i'm stuck with ah ah. with ah, with we learned consider, oh so, so that was made to unfortunately, and they thought it seems, considers itself to be at the will with russia, russia, tom, diplomat of ones that all the weaponry that western powers supply give will be considered a legitimate military target. anti aircraft tanks t

u. s. from the u. k. and from the u. within. similar situations in the past, when u. s. arms were used by libyan in syrian opposition groups, but what happens when those conflicts are over or seemingly over? oh, where did the weapons go? and of course, our efforts in afghanistan swarmed in effect, others against the soviets, isis, or i should say, al cater and then later isis. so he sings have low back effects. ah, heaping in mine. he didn't. these hampshire industries. i wish it would be wrong to say they didn't invade ukraine. cooking did that. however, they, in their people, they were influencing, and the government were willing to run at that time working for his mcnamara said, hey, it's not a security problem, missiles into what? it's a political problem. critical good. when i want to nick, this is somewhat at this stage, foreseeable, right? i mean after thing, what happens in syria would thing, what happens in libby or we, as you've done, we could go back decades prior. we is that we're talking about, it's nurtured is not essentially the taxpayers of the citizens

u. k. u. s. a. mexico and the united states as well as that this week we've had some new music released for the world cup, but also this pool. i want to show you this because this is been you much pool that they're going to have at the world cup. it's the latest pull from add to that. it's called our regular, which means the journey, which i think is quite to really when you consider that this well cup has been 12 years in the making. it follows the colors of the cap on national flag as well as some of the cultural influences. i'd say it's going to be one of the fastest balls in flight that they've made for a world cup. and we're going to find out very, very soon because that will cup kicks off in november. jerry, if you could get a few autographs on the ball, bring it into the studio, dry window. sure. if there's a couple of right now, let's talk a little bit about the african things that qualify. 2018 was great. was it for african countries? none of them got out of the group stages. do you thin

u. s. u k. lead by the us, obviously in that in the other camp. so, so it's, it's definitely a dangerous direction and, and it's dangerous from a, from an economic. we're looking at a potential economic lapse in europe. i thank you for the girl. i'm glad you brought that up because it may go to john and in paris is what i find really interesting to watch is that there's this enormous attempt to isolate russia. but the end result, the way i look at john, is that europe is isolating itself absolutely only question of winning and losing in a way the question is rather old fashioned that you put peter in my view, what the west wants, what the united states wants is for russia to engage in a war of attrition, a general milly, the supreme commander of the head of the chief of staff of the american army, said that before the war broke out, he said if that right, if russia were to invade the westwood almond insurrection in ukraine, and this has been said by many commentators that the american model is to have an afghanistan for ukraine. so the war could c

u. k. and the u. s. in terms of providing nuclear power submarines. so a china can sort of say, hey, this is in circle ment i feels like it and we have the right to engage with the solomon islands if we want to. well, and china generally says, whenever this comes up, it says that it's only doing what the u. s. has done before that it's sphere of influence is pretty much where it decides. and the solomon islands is a long way away from china. now you can see as, as an extension because it's in the pacific area and china wants to basically control the pacific am but so encirclement is one argument, but in reality this is more just about trying to control the civic am. and it's interesting and mark milly, the joint german of the joint chiefs of staff. he said recently the china is trying to am, is trying to break the establishment system of rule of law. and one of the areas that he focus particularly on was the navy, and i think and watching, watching the sort of china's efforts to control the marine. they're developing a load, their technological advances are focused on, on naval vessels. for example, they're going to have a new aircraft carrier which launches by catapult, and they're also trying to develop an aircraft carrier that's a nuclear powered aircraft carrier. so there's a lot of

u. k, the u. s. and poland, who say they going to sending things such as tanks, ammunition for the how it says and also coordinate launches all because they believe that this is the only way that ukrainian forces can match the capability of the russian army. we've heard from berlin to that, there was a dramatic shift in policy that this idea that germany now also will send in heavy weaponry all murray to ukraine. all of course on nato members. and this comes as they is that meeting taking place today. it's being hosted by the us in germany at an air base there. and either what the idea that is going to be put across too many nato allies who be in attendance is that they need to do more to assist ukraine. but despite the fact that weapons have been going into ukraine over the past few months from allies, including nato allies. so far what we've heard from may to itself is that there is no intention to put troops on the ground. in fact, we've heard many times from again, stilton, but this is the secret

u. s. from the u. k. and from the e. u. we seen similar situations in the past when u. s. arms were used by libyan in syrian opposition groups. but what happens when those conflicts are over or seemingly over? oh, where did the weapons go? iraq church, it's a long time before these contracts are over. as you know, in afghan, a santa went on for 20 years, and it could good much longer. in libya, what we did was supply a lot of weapons to people who in turn. so some 2 other insurgencies of the m terrors groups and others throughout africa. and elsewhere, and of course, our efforts in afghanistan armed in effect against the soviets isis, or i'll should say al cater and then later isis. so he things have low back effects . ah, heaping in my a didn't these amps industry. so it would be wrong to say they didn't invade ukraine. cooking did that. however, they, in their people, they were inferencing in the government, were willing to risk a war like this coming from their policies, which were attract provocative in terms of making it likely that the russians, any russian leader

u. k is armed forces minister has told british media a cannot verify claims. russia has used chemical weapons in maddie poll. the u. u. s. and the u. k. say they are wear off and looking into the accusations, the ukranian politician ivana can push says moscow used an unknown substance which has caused people to suffer from respiratory failure. there is no evidence and russia hasn't commented on the allegations you pay for is actually less trust. treated the following reports that russian forces may have used chemical agents in an attack on the people. off maddie poll, we are working urgently with our partners to verify the details. any use of such weapons would be a callous escalation in this conflict. and we will hold putin and his regime to account or in his nightly tv address, ukrainian president velasmio zalinski war. russia could resort teasing chemical agents. he referred to comments from russian backed eastern forces in don yeske, who had called for such weapons to be deployed. she would use as vulgar, equal blank to day. we had a new threat about a new stage of terror against our defenders. one spokesman of the

u. k. a nuclear u. s. nuclear weapons are going to go back into lake and heats air force base. so it's pretty clear to me what's, what the strategy is here, which is to destroy the russian federation, to allow the breakup of russia and a smaller countries. so that the resource extraction corporations can grab rushes, vast resource base, and at the same time, a destroy this momentum that's already been referred to, of creating this multi polar world, rather than having the u. s. b mister big of the planet. and so this is a what we're facing now. it's the most dangerous moment and my life. and i'm really quite worried about it and, and, and what you said about the possibility of going to world war 3 with nuclear weapons. i think it's a, it's very possible, it's conceivable. i think that washington is desperate and they're playing with fire. yeah. but michael immune, you know that the corridors of power here. i mean, the same people that designed the cakewalk, apparently for iraq. ah, you know, and then we have syria, we have libya, we can go, you know, yeah, i mean, we go on or not, these are the same people. so i mean, why would the outcome, tragedy failure be any different? michael explained to me. well it's that's, that's the of them, that's why we iraq the invasion of in 2003 was probably the beginning of the end. as far as i'm personally concerned. that's it from me personally, but, but to, for 5, for that that policy. it was a, it was almost a preemp

u. k. a nuclear u. s. nuclear weapons are going to go back into lake and heats air force base. so it's pretty clear to me what's, what the strategy is here, which is to destroy the russian federation, to allow the breakup of russia into smaller countries. so that the resource extraction corporations can grab russia's vast resource base and at the same time, destroy this momentum that's already been referred to, of creating this multi polar world, rather than having the u. s. b mister big of the planet. and so this is a what we're facing now. it's the most dangerous moment and my life. and i'm really quite worried about it. and what you said about the possibility of going to world war 3 with nuclear weapons. i think it's a, it's very possible, it's conceivable. i think that washington is desperate and they're playing with fire. yeah. but michael immune, you know, the, the corridors of power here. i mean, the same people that designed the cakewalk, apparently for iraq. ah, you know, and then we have syria, we have libya, we can go, you know? yeah, i mean, we go on and on. these are the same people. so i mean, why would the outcome, tragedy failure be any different? michael explained to me. well it's that's, that's the of them. that's why we iraq, the invasion of in 2003 was probably the beginning of the end as far as i'm personally concerned. that's it from me personally, but, but to, for 5, for that that policy. it was a, it was almost a preemptive pol
