there are high risks of supply on shortages and in the key mineral strategies of the u. s. europe, china is regarded as the men opponent and an important factor influence in their strategic directions and measures. so they are trying to build a supply chain independent of china. that is why china also needs to develop a relevant strategy and make a response or, and of course, we know that many of these minerals don't just sit in china, this shit, they sit in other asian countries like indonesia of does that mean that the chinese chinese mining industry is gonna be one of the big winners of this, of this race that you just mentioned. yes. what china is certainly one step ahead in terms of a national strategy to build trade and investment relationships. it is interesting out that if you look at indonesia, at the end of that last month, ford motor site, a $4500000000.00 nicole smelter deal with vel indonesia and china. so down why you'll accompany working on the hole in death, astro, chance of critical minerals, indonesia, in that we know indonesia is the top nichol producing company. yes.

u. s. which has engaged in secret surveillance and what is happening now is political manipulation at china's response to u. s. accusations that beijing, as established an overseas secret police station, based in new york. they may follow the china firmly opposes the u. s. side. slander . political manipulation, malicious fabrication of the so called cross border repression, narrative and blatant prosecution of chinese law enforcement and cyber security. officials, u. s. has long suppressed dissidents through secret surveillance, illegal monitoring, global hunting, and behind the scenes, transactions will make the label of trans national suppression. is perfectly appropriate for the united states itself was hopeful. but according to the accusations being leveled by us authorities, 2 chinese men were helping to establish se clandestine police station in york city on behalf of beijing aimed a tracking down on harassing chinese dissidence. while adamantly denying the allegations, china stated that the station was so li, used as a place spread citizens to receive legal services. well, let's cross

countries. article is out that he, b a, u e, syria, israel, and now egypt, as well as if you look at the global changes right now, this competition between the u. s. and china as well as the national, clean all the circumstances. bush, both countries to rethink and to re position themselves in order to get benefit, what from what's going on? so i think both realize that we should move a little bit from the past and try to open a new chapter and their debate at relations. what is, what is very interesting from here, if you look at the bi lateral economic relations between both countries, it didn't, it wasn't impacted by the political aperture. if you look at the, for it, for example, the trade volume or increased the from $7000000000.20 colon. now it's $11000000000.00. if there was a 3 volume. and he can make the change between it and, and, and, and turkey, which is very significant with gumps, though they cannot with which in both countries says the perfect storm bringing them back together at this point in time use if i mean there are many issues that have divided the 2 countries over the last decade or so. i mean, what are the terms or preconditions of, o

u. s. and china in this region. when the philippines says it's, it wants to be a friend to or it should mean that the philippines is adopting an independent foreign policy. that is definitely not the case. if you align your, your foreign policy with american imperialist interests. kate, just want to fit in this story. before we go. climate activists have placed a large portion of blame on asian rice producers for spring global warming. the alleged, the burning of rice feels, creates conditions out, spurs, climate change, r t india corresponding region sharma can take us through that. climate change advocates are now blaming rice, paddies, whole global warming. they say that a bolo rise may be hurting the climate, and who was to be blamed, the art asia and rice leading, asians would account the 10 percent of global emissions of methane. it's not belching council landfills, but dr. player the right feel that now being blame for causing emission on hurting the climate. there's already a governmental initiative in vietn

u. s. and china and have no kind of stake in this whatsoever. just at the time when europe is so dependent on the united states over the ukraine war, the united states being absolutely essential to, to european security at this time. so my home was going there saying he wanted to have it in hans european unity on china. but in the end he, he ended up kind of proving the opposite. and i lena bear book has been much more critical of china, historically protect you on the issues of human rights, but even her own government is pretty divided. all of chelsea chancellor, see this much, much more cautious. so the overall picture of what we're seeing here is china getting much more assertive about saying this is okay. this is not okay. and europe looking pretty muddled in its response interviews, which are walker. thank you so much. ukraine says that it has opened a war crimes investigation after 2 videos emerged online, appearing to show russian soldiers be heading ukrainian prisoners of war. the shocking footage has drawn international outrage. the kr

atlantic latin america specialist danny shaw says the region should further aligned with russia and china to country u. s. dominance. their washington will continue to stop at nothing to maintain imperial control. that is diplomatic, economic, political, and military control of the hemisphere. it'll be 200 years as the anniversary of the monroe doctrine. and how many centuries are many decades of gunboat diplomacy of the big stick of us arrogance in the region. so across the region, there's a lot of our enthusiasm, the new role that. ready russians have now played in the chinese in this why we can now talk of a multi polar world begins. the bolivia is the nicaraguans, the been as well as the cubans and the are land america. any sanction people are now able to defy washington unipolar designs because they have alternatives, especially in the economic realm. you only way to break the decades and decades at u. s. lack mil of south america and the caribbean, that is blackmail through unilateral. ready unilateral sanctions economic lucky, the only way to break that is the greater unity greater the gratian. so

u. s. and china in this region. when the philippines says it's, it's wants to be a friend to, or it should mean that the philippines is adopting an independence foreign policy. that is definitely not the case. if you align your, your foreign policy with america and imperialist interests. no, have to say i'm looking forward to this. the 1st movie to be filmed in space opens in cinemas, across russia. today, parts of the challenge were shot at the international space station, international audiences, by the way, a to be able to watch the feature next thursday. as the lead actress reach for the stars, the director of the film. he didn't just sit back either. he joined her in orbit to coordinate the weightless moves. here's a sneak peak of their stellar mission. ah, with oh, can you hear me? now, what is the probability of the astronaut di? during descent, surgery, 100 percent. must have been some serious medical procedures done in 0 g before correct successfully. how soon would you be able to provide people ready to op

there's a long history with china, and so they don't want to be too open about whatever role they might be playing in in the u. s. is efforts to, to counter writing. china is power. ok and natasha, you were mentioning a moment ago, the upgrade and relationships, the u. s. has been pushing for for a boost in relations with vietnam to what's called a strategic partnership. how likely is that to happen now? so we don't have word if this has happened yet after this recent meeting. i think the us is trying to push for this and it's possible that biden will make an official visit to vietnam in july. so from the us perspective, they definitely want this. but as i already mentioned from vietnam perspective, really want to increase some of the security and economic ties that they have with, with us just just for their own pragmatic reasons, rational reasons that it may benefit them. they have to be very careful about anything that they do that could upset ging, so they don't want to be too open or out worried about this. so i don't know if this is going to be something that is official officially declared by both countri

china sea and over to water. what china claims as our china is chinese and they're, they're territory. vietnam is of course on the south china sea. and the u. s. by this relationship with vietnam. it is showing that it wants very much supports the openness of the south china sea, which would include vietnam's rise to do so as it was in the south china sea, including oil and gas exploration. so that's the social and very important on the right side of the buildings, which also has problems with china and the south china sea were seen on it with which the united states is conducting a war games right now. and, and very much supporting philippines glen to the south china sea. so all that fits into an end to what the united states is doing, you know, on that point, particularly on the south china sea. as donald was mentioning, the u. s. has military bases in the philippines. it's both 3rd military corporation with taiwan to what extent is there real comprehensive maritime security corporation right now between washington and hanoi, natasha. and, and where do you see that heading to i think we already mentioned a little bit that there are concerns

and the u. s. is trying to increase its present. i think that actually the thing that has changed more so than what the u. s. behavior has been china's behavior. the china has become much more assertive, not just in asia, but in latin american and africa as well. and has wanted to kind of push the u. s. out. so we see, well, the u. s. has been increasing, you know, it's, it's bilateral trade ties with a lot of these countries and trying to work through regional organizations and trying to create a block against china. i don't see its behavior changing that much from the obama administration, but more so we're seeing a much more competent and assertive china on the world stage. donald, would you say the vietnam is foreign policy? can be somewhat limited due to its sheer proximity to china that vietnam will, will always be keen to keep her relations with its northern neighbor on a sort of a level playing field. well, this time has to be asked to be very concerned about china. the chinese vietnamese relationship goes deep, deep into history of the region, into their history. and obviously they, they want to stand up against china, but t

u. s. and china in this region. when the philippines says it's, it wants to be a friend to or it should mean that the philippines is adopting an independent foreign policy. that is definitely not the case. if you align your, your foreign policy with american imperialists interests while talking all the alliance is on a world scale. in today's modus operandi episode, manila chant talks of saudi arabia and china is growing relations on what that means for america. looking on those for that one off season. mm hm. ah, for generations, people have been coming here to case of odds to get healthy, taking advantage of the mineral waters and the pressure today head of the innovation center of the russian, the olympic committee, world renowned trainer, i would render crucial. ah, hello, i'm manila chad. you are tuned into modus operandi old enemies, new friends, that's the theme of today's show after china emerges as the new piece broker in the east, announcing a restoration of ties between rivals, saudi arabia and iran. so w

u. s. and china. it's also sparked a global inflation crisis disruption to global supply chains caused by the pandemic . i've also helped push the price of energy, food, and fertilizers to record highest. the recent banking crisis of the u. s. and switzerland has shaken financial markets. high inflation means that central banks will need to keep raising interest rates. and that's likely to lead to more borrowing, which will drive up debt. so fears of widespread unemployment on a global recession, a growing the i m f is urging members to provide debt relief to poor nations. serious financial stability related downside risks of emerged in our latest forecast. global growth will bottom out at 2.8 percent this year before rising modestly to 3 percent next year, almost unchanged from our january projections. global inflation will ease, although more slowly than initially anticipated from 8.7 percent last year to 7 percent. this year and 4.9 percent next year. this your slow down is concentrated in advanced

china shortly as well. and colleen europe's kind of stuck in the middle between china and the united states, to what degree is the u. s. wanting this conversation between europe and china. i think the united states would like to see an action from china on, on ukraine that, that would bring us closer to the resolution. and that, you know, if there is an ability for your leaders to help gain traction, urge china on this. i think there is, this is, i'm here and probably in parts of europe on whether that's actually possible or whether this visit just a she, diplomatic, when i'm looking like he's playing the grand statement hosting. i'm european leader, but not really, but on the spot to make any movements towards toward the resolution. and i think there's, there's hope, but i think there's also at the same time, sort of skepticism in awareness that this may actually be counter productive and just feeding. she is sort of in view of china as being the center of the world stage and all think loss runs her hand and you know the rest of the roadmap, kind of accommodate his views and positions. indeed, how closely do you thin

do you see a past for b escalation of tensions between china and the u. s. on a return to diplomacy? well, i think the relationship between and china and the united states is going to get a lot worse. because as the election and presidential election cycle is coming up in the united states and also the presidency and election in taiwan is also coming up. so i think that these 2 occasions are likely to the high but the taiwan issue, the us china relations and then relations are not going to get any any better any time any, any time soon. because china has been regarded bonnie united states as pacing challenge as them. and this is the most credible, near peer challenger to american heading for most so much russia because russia, even though a very strong military power. but it doesn't have the economic clout all china and russia is you calling me on role is only equal to a problems long to problems china. and he doesn't have the connectivity of china. so it's fine with a nuclear capabilities. and also is economic cloud is regarded as the p, a challenger, which

u. s. and china and of the moon race is a new venue for competition between the u. s. and china. yes, absolutely. there's as much as people like to, to say that the efforts in space are completely neutral than not. it's always been very much driven by politics. you can see that right back to the space age. and that has been a bit of conflict between nasa and china and in the realm of space specifically. now there is actually not allowed to work with any kind of chinese company on any of their projects. and neither are any of your contract is working on an emissions . so there is definitely a, an aspect of that, it's not quite the same as the 1960 soviet space, right? because china and the us are in completely different places in their journey into the space. but there is definitely a sort of that, that definitely paying attention to what each other is doing. all right, it's not every day i get to talk to astrophysicists. elizabeth pearson, thank you so much for coming on. i keep having me now we want to bring you these live pictures a. the 1st flight carrying british nationals ha

china says the u. s. has long engaged in secret surveillance itself. and what is happening now is political manipulation that is china's response. the u. s. accusations that beijing has established an overseas secret police station based in new york to logic on they may fall, china firmly opposes the us side. slander, political manipulation, malicious fabrication of the so called cross border repression, narrative and blatant prosecution of chinese law enforcement and cybersecurity officials. us has long suppressed dissidents through secret surveillance, illegal monitoring, global hunting, and behind the scenes transactions. the label of trans national suppression is perfectly appropriate for the united states itself. yes, authorities have a huge to try me as a man of helping to establish a crime death. i'm police station in york city on behalf of beijing aimed at tracking down harassing chinese dissidence. while i don't really deny the allegations, china say that the station was so the use of the place for citizens, the receive legal services. c, dtn chor
