u. s. and russia and the u. s. allies, but also countries that see themselves as somewhere in the middle and indonesia as the host is one of those countries that has pursued what it describes as a pre and active foreign policy. it sees itself as a neutral country and says that country should really be focused on the geopolitics, on, on the economics. sorry, rather than the geopolitics. and we will see indeed whether that is possible. as you mentioned, some of the by laterals that will be taking place on the sidelines of the summer. thermals are likely to attract a lot of attention chief among those a meeting between president joe biden and president, she didn't ping that will be their 1st impulse. and meeting since joe biden took office, indonesia has set the theme of all its g, 20 events as recover together, recover stronger, and it remains to be seen whether that message of unity will resonate at this time of great geopolitical tension. all right, jessica washington life was there in bali. jessica, thank you. n

u . s. and russia. and if they say no to a ground operation, it's not going to happen to one. thank you. somebody to speak with us ended up in daily news that's showing us for the observation entry for the target opposition party h t p. thank ah, and it's day 5 of the football world cup in katara and switzerland have edged cameroon at one at nel brown and bolo scored the only goal, insuring it was a former buddhist legal player, rather than a current one. who crapped the headlines? ah, now and proud. this is cameron's 8th woodcut appearance and it started on the right footing camera room where the more dangerous side at east than the 1st half plan unix troika, eric maxine chapel morning, who have been red hot for by and this season had several good chances. but he was unable to replicate his cup success to day. by one explanation, eager player did form a chalka and not back forward read em. buelo broke the deadlock. a subdued celebration from the 25 year old who was born in cameroon, before relocating to switzerland, switzerland nearly added a 2nd go late on in the end, one gold proved e

u. s. and russia are both calling for restraint. and in the world cup, they are calling it the miracle of doha. japan's to one surprise when over germany sends fans filling out onto the streets and even brings calls for a national holiday. ah . hello, i'm clare richardson. thank you so much for joining us. ukraine's president holiday moore's. the lensky is urging the united nations to back a resolution condemning what he calls energy terror. russia has won fresh rocket attacks against the ukrainian energy grid, which the lensky is calling crimes against humanity. russian missiles have killed at least 7 people and knocked out power nationwide. and blackouts have also hit neighboring moldova. this latest russian air assaults was brutal, devastating, and wide spread. little remains on this street invest garad, a town on the outskirts of keys, which took a direct heads, though to call this place home, left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. so i am looking for pats left behind in the chaos of the shelling here while others t

u. s. and russia, a totally different situation now with obviously very extensive trade ties between the u. s. in china and also china, the rest of the world are different situation a, but still a very, very profound kind of show down to between 2 mighty powers with very different visions of what kind of a world they want to live in. and eats of suspecting that the other wants to hinder her, their achievement of that world that they want to live in. it obviously has a lot of parallels to the 20th century cold war in that sense, in terms of tie one yet joe biden said, when asked about, did he think of the chinese are planning to invade taiwan? he said words to the extent that i do not believe there is any imminent intent by china to invade taiwan. now, the thing is, i don't think anybody really believes that china does imminently intend to invade taiwan. the concerns are more on other levels, concerns are on the one hand, that the chinese intimidation against taiwan. the chinese said dig out fighter jet or to fly across what's called the median line in the taiwan straits. so closer and close

u. s. threats, as well as india's dependence on russian arms. and so this strategy most of the world does not want to have to choose between the united states and china, or the united states and russia. and so the u. s. policy, this idea about the united states been back, which is the the bite and mantra and look at what biden has done. he came into office and surrounded himself with hawkish right wing advisors, 16 of whom are come from the center for new american security and others like blinking our stay, ours. secretary of state, you know, supported the event or afghan, the invasion of iraq, the invasion of libya, the bombing in syria min, so that people, people around the world know who these people are and what they represent. and they see what the u. s. strategy is toward russia also to use this situation that this war as quickly as possible, but to use it to weaken russia, you're absolutely spot on professor spot on on that. and this brings up a lot of fears that the u. s. his position on se asia may create a balkan ization of that region just like we saw in eastern europe. so, you know, the u. s. should probably tread lightly. i, when we're on the doorstep of china, professo

u. s. and russia, a really bad at the moment. of course. yeah, i mean, if you kind of go through the people we were just talking about, of course, you know, it, it would be quite pretty nice for russia if you know, people like marjorie taylor green people like j defense of the people who've said things which could be interpreted as rather more rob, unsympathetic to ukraine, potentially sympathetic to the russian side of the, in the conflicts that, that would have caused play to rush his favorite. so the fact that what we're looking at here does not appear to be, you know, a sort of a republican wave that the trump being of the republican party is if anything we can coming out of this, that many of the candidates that trump endorse, did not do so well that, that i think that will probably be causing a bit of disappointment and rush because, you know what plays best from the russian point of view is a divided united states and usa still, it's extremely divided, but it's not perhaps quite as, as catastrophic level of division as we might have

u. s. and russia. since the conflict began in february, i am in val as more from moscow the head of fashion intelligence, sir said again, augustine, and he's your counterpart, william burns, met him on car on monday that has been confirmed by the spokesman of the company. he admitted prescott. but he did not give details, he didn't get many details about the subject of the meeting. he mentioned start free and that has been in discussion between the 2 countries. however, an official in the white house said the mission of william burns was specifically to give a warning to the russians about the consequences of any use any deployment of nuclear weapons in ukraine. we know that russia, in the past, after the beginning of this war, said it would use any means necessary to defend its territory. and russia considers those territories, it annexed in estimates of the nuclear us, a part of the russian federation. now. so there were concerns in the west about the likelihood, the possibility of russia using some t

and the u. s. has not had much interest in helping clean this up, especially allows, because louse remains firmly in the russia, china camp. and i says, didn't begin cleaning up the unexploded ordnance or helping out in vietnam around 2015. and that was because the u. s. had a plan to pull vietnam into the american orbit and has been somewhat successful. we know the vietnam has a contentious relationship with china. so the us thinking strategically geopolitically decided to reach out to vietnam, moore, and has had a mixed success in doing so, but not with laos. lau still maintains military ties to russia. i. economic ties to china is part of the belt road initiative. the new china allows railway that opened in december and transports both goods and people at very, very high speeds where the technologies have compatible with chinese best technology . and we know that while the united states has no high speed railway, china leads the world in high speed railway. and so they've got, this is very impressive railway between china allows as part of china's economic development approach and about that rail professor

and moscow. he also worries that european nations might fall in line with the u. s. what do you suppose he is referring to? as russia and south africa are concerned? what coercive measures might he be worried about the u. s. doing against south africa? i mean, i think the big threat is this question of sanctions and trade and so on. and how is this howard's trade going to be affected? so russia is not by no means the biggest trading part of partner south africa, about about half a $1000000000.00 in trade goes from russia to south africa, and about the same amount goes from south africa to russia. and if you look at what south africa she importing from russia, it's a lot of like, staple foods like, especially wheat. right. and as you know, the price of bread is something that all governments are worried about. major revolutions. i've been going back to 1789 and the french revolution, but also in egypt more recently in 2011, these revolutions have been sparked by the price of bread going up, you know, 10200 or, or sometimes a 1000 percent. right? so when we're talking about, you know, these sanctions, we're talking ab

u. s. and ukraine elite going to me term and long term time is rather on, on the russia side. whereas on the short term, times on the u. s. side. and the russia is now on the retreat. you know, they want to seize the moment and say, hey, here's your chance. moscow to they are deal none of the things and none of the goals and objectives that you stated before the special manager operation have been achieved. but you are losing, you know, with think you're losing, here's your chance to say face. and here it is. the question is worse now what's, what's going to happen on, on the, you know, the all kinds of decisions that may be taken, the rush us side. because you know, the pollutants press secretary best golf, stated that harrison is still in the constitutionally part of russia. we didn't excluded from, from the russian territory, which means russia still maintains both political will and the military objective to recapture in some time whether it's going to happen or not happen. whether it's some agreement behind that or would know there all kinds of speculation a way now so but

and of course, you have russia itself in bricks and then you have india, which would like to keep close ties both to russia and to the u. s. and i think china is on a whole different level, because as you say, it's the 2nd largest or by some measures even the largest economy in the world, but certainly the 2nd largest economy in the world. so it's a different, you know, these countries function differently for different reasons. yes, they all seem to be by and large following this line of strategic ambiguity. but i suspect that with a little bit of pressure, you know, brazil for example, could be persuaded to take more. you pay us dance, india, and even south africa, i think, you know, are, are vulnerable to changing their stance if circumstances warranted. the question would be if they change their stance individually or as a block, what would they get in return? and i don't think the us is willing to, i mean, i don't think wilson with us is willing to, doesn't see this as a negotiation. i think they just see, you should tell our lie to get nothing for an exchange. and if that's the u. s. citizen, then no, no one will be

russia needs to leave ukraine. and so these talks between russia and the u. s. i think really part of that constant conversation that's going on now the head of private russian military group factory has defended a brutal video, apparently showing the death of immersion rehab defective to ukraine. what's known about the consequences for the factors in russia? yeah, no, that's a great question and is not just wagner, that the p. m. c, or all the mercenaries. there's also chechen malicious and the russian military, all of whom have a pretty strict line on disasters. and so we've heard instances of troops being shots by the offices when they, when they refuse to go into combat. and, and we've had whole companies of russian soldiers refusing to fight and then being taken back and in prisons. it's very, very difficult for the russians because morale is very low in the army and at times they are finding hard to encourage that sheeps to fight. and so they taking an ever increasing the strict line in order to maintain discipline. mike martin, thank you for joining us on

and of course, you have russia itself in bricks and then you have india, which would like to keep close ties both to russia and to the u. s. and i think china is on a whole different level, because as you say, it's the 2nd largest or by some measures even the largest economy in the world, but certainly the 2nd largest economy in the world. so it's a different, you know, these countries function differently for different reasons. yes, they all seem to be by and large following this line of strategic ambiguity. but i suspect that with a little bit of pressure, you know, brazil for example, could be persuaded to take more. you pay us dance, india, and even south africa, i think, you know, are, are vulnerable to changing their stance. if circumstances warranted. the question would be if they change their stance individually or as a block, what would they get in return? and i don't think the us is willing to, i mean, i don't think wilson with us is willing to, doesn't see this as a negotiation. i think they just see, you should tell our lie to get nothing for an exchange. and if that's the u. s. just and then no, no one will b

and also the u. s. need venezuela oil and the illegal unilateral sanctions of the u . s. has imposed on venezuela and on iran, and on russia, 3 of the world's largest oil producers has resulted in energy crisis and huge skyrocketing energy prices, which of course, is hurting europe very hard. but it's also hitting the, the average american who needs to pay more if the gas pumps so divided administration, trying to have it cake and needed it to it's trying to claim that it doesn't recognize madura but still trying to get access to venezuela's oil. while the whole world has been hearing about says, of nuclear war for the past few months, it seems as a ray of hope. now as the us state development person says, most of washington should hold a meeting on reviewing inspections with comic weapons sites focused on risk reduction. we have a number of channels for communication. that is a good thing. it demonstrates our commit you to strategic stability something we remain committed to something profoundly in the bilateral invest. the tracy follows a decade on effort to reduce nuclear also on both sides at expires, in 2026. earlier

u. s. cyber security and infrastructure security agency has also jumped on the bandwagon saying that china, iran and russia may all seem to interfere with the u. s. democratic process. we discussed the issue with journalist daniela's, r, who says the american public doesn't mind to the government's point games as become a ritual of american politics or liberal american politics. let things go wrong, blame it on russia. it's never the fault of the democratic party. joe biden is doing a great job. and if american voters disagree, the only possible explanation is that it's due to the kremlin interference. i mean, it's gotten, gotten ridiculous. totally silly. no one believes this any more. that the card has been over played and i think that democrats are worried because they very well may be facing a real blood back tomorrow. protests have raged across pakistan for 4 consecutive days after an assassination attempt on former prime minister and maria calling last week. this comes as the country supreme court ordered police to investigate the shooting. a local journalist gave us the details. after 4 days when fo

as most in important producer for brazil, and now priscilla's looking for other suppliers, possibly canada the u. s. or even russia, and that will again drive up prices so seater. the reason for the drought global warming, every slower roacha co author off a book on the topic titled a caliente or ultra hot like climate change is the biggest problem of our time. is as a much better than just let us imagine because of climate change, we're seeing more and longer lasting droughts and some don't understand what it does to our soil, but simply said if we get more droughts and scientists project that we will then by 2050 we will lose up to one percent of our gross domestic product. billy for now, argentina's prioritizing weed production for its own domestic market. exports will be reduced by that won't change the fact that in argentina and abroad, price, brit and other we've products will likely go up. beijing says a leaked paper on germany's new china strategy is a throwback to cold war times. earlier this week, german media had reported details on how berlin wants to deal with the country. it calls a competitor and sy

and how 30 years on it has finally happened. it has taken that long. this time round has been pushed back from the u. s. from china and from russia, but they have come round. and the thing is, lawson damage was only put on the agenda at this particular cop cop $27.00 just before it started there were days of negotiations just to get to this point. and now this has happened. so is quite a trial and it shows that the un process does work, despite the criticism that it gets placed in the usa, at least 5 people have been killed in a shooting at the gay night club in colorado springs. and they say 18 people have been injured in the attack. a suspect has been taken into custody and is being treated for injuries. powerful explosions have shaken this patricia nuclear power plant in ukraine. the un nuclear watchdog has condemned the blasts that facility which is under russian control. moscow says ukraine is behind the explosions. malaysia's vertical leaders, a scrambling form, a coalition government that's off so tightly contested election left the country with no clear winner. florence louis has molson calling them for the main oppositio

and international banks. one, thank you so much for being with us. first, let's talk about south com, the u. s. military's command overseeing south america, finding that russia and china is relations, relationships rather in the region. a little bit unnerving to put it lightly. historically, the u. s. was the dominant force in the region, both militarily and economically. but over the last decade, we are seeing a shift. why? because china is willing to best you know that the social bed in america and our most you got it perfectly. see that in the political chief all over the continent got to see him left, his ornaments from chile all the way to mexico. and the chinese are willing to invest significantly and the land resources. and unfortunately the us cob withdrew and regarding climate change, there's been very strong positions against ga us on methane on oil. on the side of the main staples that pro isaac strong currency from america. uneven international banks are not willing to fungus breaks on. the chinese are, is very difficult to us. the society is to caught their main source of income just for a bigger, delayed, and international level. in an agenda t

and political objectives. no ring of nato military bases is being formed around russia. the u. s. and nato have over 600 military base. his world wide, russia has just 18, but the west still claims that russia has aggressive intent by turning this russian soviets into this dangerous bo, you man, that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy to create this image of the soviets. as out for world conquest, which was not the case, then bar now, ah, nato should have died, but they will give it meaning. it is about infected, created by nato native business machine, because you must remember, if nato disbanded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions. they'd only have one yacht instead of 2 yards each there. oh dear, wouldn't that be terrible? there's a simple method to put it right with the rest of the world will say we were forced to seize the territory and bring all to maintain security, a dell fiddler bring order security and democracy. the reasons used to justify molten was waged by nato and led by the

and banking. back in february, cuba lashed out at the u. s. for targeting moscow with sanctions and announce nato's expansion to the east. both russia and cuba have become experts in defying and surviving western sanctions. now in order to grease the wheels of cooperation even further, the countries or even i hang up the making of mutual settlements and rubles, and crypto currencies to circumvent the effects of sanctions on their economies. and further minimize the reliance on the u. s. dollar. we all keep in russia under sanctions, the circulation of the dollar is the main financial mechanism exist in there was the mutual payments though today mechanisms are being developed at the level of the countries governments to change the situation. 7 not only will this lead to the key development of mutual payments via crypto currencies, but other private mechanisms are being discussed. and back in april, cuba began accepting russia that payment cards at atl and will be accepting them at all stores by the end of this year. cuba itself has been under a u. s. embargo for 60 years now after fidel castro's revolution over through the us friendl
