u. s. is early is 1981. so 2 years acted, sam, mrs. power began supporting these concrete terrors events, nicaragua, or so. what happened naturally, a garage returned to the soviets, right? right. the russians at that time was so union and got a lot of support. and so union from east germany, from other eastern bloc countries. and then of course the sandinista road voted out of power 1990 and so union collapse in 1991. so that pretty much ended that close bond. it came to be between. 4 nicaragua, and so the union ah, in russia, ah, but then now again, daniel retake is elected again 2006 takes governance in 2007. and again, he tries again to play ball the you us. why? yes, is close to him, wants to trade with them culturally nicaragua, closer to the u. s. than russia? no one in, in nicaragua speaks english. many people there's, i'm sorry, none of them speak russian. many of them do speak english. are culturally they like us. they play baseball, nicaragua, in like soccer's march, right? their main sports baseb

u. s. is the extra territory all coercive measures and sanctions. so the u. s. is very worried that, for example, other countries would tend to deal with iran with russia, china, that the u. s. c's ads as it rivals around the world. but at the same time, i mean, you can see that, for example, european countries did not, did not stand to usaa and of course of measures and even a accepted that their own citizens would be dealing with the economy could difficulties when it came to the sanctions on impose on russia and iran, and they refused to deal with iran and russia directly even though those policies that they adopted. 2 given to u. s. s. and sanctions of, or on 3rd countries have been hurting or during citizens and both in european countries or in those 3rd countries and, and iran to yeah, that does seem to be the difference doesn't, or between people and governments about what they actually believe. but looks to be widening as well as you say. can i ask about the current states as you see it of a run us relations because you've got washington expressing suppor

u. s. s a can't. is it out as, as strong as it is a, it just can't control every country on the globe, right? it tries to but it can't. you know, once there's a critical mass with countries saying, bhaskar, you know, no more. i think the u. s. you know, just can't do it. yeah. they're focused on ukraine right now, sending billions of dollars. ukraine to fight russia. by the way, i am in moscow, russia out. um, you know, and in the breach, i think latin america is rising. so, you know, i have great hopes, but yeah, we have to be vigilant for sure. only grandma has recently re established diplomatic ties with china. it's a, it's a pivot from their previous diplomatic ties with taiwan. why? and what does this do to the balance of power in the western hemisphere? yes. so let me explain a little bit about that. first of all. so under somoza from 1934, the 19. well really, i mean it, well the to the 940304949. let's put that out from 949 to 979. so most are recognized. right. and not the people's republic of c

and yeah, the free, the, that was born by that is this huge migrations. the u. s. has destroyed these societies in these countries. nicaragua has been one country as a weather that storm because frankly, the good governance of the sand and east is but you know, the u. s. is doing everything you can to undermine that. com did that side. yes. that will lead to more migration. so yeah, i think it's fair to say all this is the product of blow back. all right, dan called alec. we've got a lot more to unpack. so stay with us. coming up next. the u. s. isn't the only superpower with its sites, sat on nicaragua, find out why this central american country is abandoning taiwan. and now backing china, we'll discuss it when we return said type the m. o will be right back. mm hm . when i was showing wrong, i just don't hold any rules that you have to fill out. disdain becomes the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah needs to come to the russian state. little narrative. i've started as i'm pho

u. s. is mass of new climate investment package. brazil in columbia carry out raids against illegal gold mining in the amazon region. where can they keep the scourge from coming back? welcome to our show. a high level french german delegation was on its way back from washington after its appeals for u. s. policy makers to soften the blow of a new climate law there produced no concrete results. german economy minister robert ha, back later said he sent the great willingness from the us to engage with you concerns the europeans fear the u. s. is new inflation reduction act will stuart the transit land market with its $370000000000.00 and subsidies aimed at companies producing in the us or from countries with a free trade agreement with the country? or chris yonder is a faction leader in the german parliament and was part of that us visit. he spoke to my colleague michelle cruz now about his impressions. so the german and french trade ministers were here and we heard a state of the union speech t

u. s. is going to react to that at the same time, i think the shows in many ways that the u. s. is become powerless in preventing that. and i hope that's true. um, but yeah, i mean, this is assign the latin america is really as, as a group rejecting the united states intervention, rejecting the monroe doctrine of 18. 23. ah, which gives me a lot of hope. i mean, probably years. i get more oh battle adam, latin american, any, any other region in the world? but yes, the u. s. is going to try unsure, to overturn some of these governments. but, you know, here's the problem. the u. s. as a can, is a, you know, as, as strong as it is a, it just can't control every country on the globe, right. it tries to, but it can't, it out. and once there's a critical mass with countries saying, bhaskar, you know, no more. i think the us, you know, just can't do it. yeah. they're focused on new crane right now, sending billions of dollars to ukraine to fight russia. by the way, i am in moscow, russia out. um, you know, and in the breach, i think latin america is rising. so you know, i have great hop

the disconnect between the 2 economies is progressing at a rapid speed. the u. s. military is also becoming more confrontational to deter china's aggressive posturing in the south china sea, toward taiwan. the u. s. is demonstrating, follow dirty with neighboring democratic countries like japan. and more recently the philippines. what's next in this economic, technological and militaristic showdown? what's next and will it work a melina? do you think this strategy works, trying to prevent china from getting key technologies and working closer with the allies? well, i think there's a good chance that at least of all impede the progress. but, you know, i am 1st her, i'm all the american allies need to implemented. and to a certain degree, germany has great difficulty implementing. and a lot of german businesses are still heavily investing in china. and i fully agree the thorsten here, and there needs to be a clear decision made and the heads. and also your virt spoken from the german administration. that you know. and if you want to move on taiwan, and you can no lo

is just for research purposes. however, it did fly over very strategic u. s. military bases even storing nuclear weapons or from your perspective, how much of a threat is this alleged to spy balloon for the u. s. security? well, in our, in itself, it's not such a big threat at china's collecting intelligence and use this balloon to get clear a pictures to be able to hover over military sites to get sensitive data. and you know, the balloon has certain advantages over satellites. but i think it still says a lot about the, the state of chinese american relations because the reaction inside of the united states was very harsh air. the public air very much it is, you know, extremely critical of china. i think we really have reached new heights an anti china sentiment in the united states. and then of course, no one can ask why now, why was there balloon sent over the united states? was there an intention from the chinese part, or was this just pure happened? and then of course, you know, like, how does there and the story now unfold the chinese air, you know, but

u. s. is not going to open his books not groping into doors. it's going to hide all the information or destroy the evidence, or burned the evidence. and nobody's ever going to speak to us control the flow of information and can blackmail destroy anybody with the information that it has against different people. so everyone is an atmosphere of fear in the west like life here is good until you start speaking up against the. 3 against the white house against the government, and then you will have problems. you have lots of problems. and if you have a lot to lose, like imagine a big business, you want a big business, you can lose your entire business empire. naturally, i see a lot of come countries are sympathetic towards russia and china. but the u. s. is mobilized an enormous amount of financial economic pressure to control the other countries and to try try to bring them to its side 1st investigations concluded that the u. s. is the color of annual need to naval drills in the ball succeeds of p

u. s. borders. in such circumstances, the u. s. use of force is an obvious overreaction and a violation of international practice. finally, after days of deliberation and u. s. foreign to jets of short time, what they claim is a chinese spy bloom by aging, of course, denies this. it says that it was a web whether observation balloon, although there is some confusion over whose recommendation it was to, to shoot down the balloon and listen to what us president joe biden told jan this successfully took it down. and i want to compliment on our aviators or did it, and we'll have more to report on a little later. thank you. by the way, i know you're saying the recommendation from you was funny and that's why her whole that is through the down or wednesday. i was like, the recommendation said to me that way to look take this place to do it. some are already asking questions over the timing of the incident. it came just ahead of a time visit by the u. s. equity estate, the blink and to china. now that was subsequently cancelled or was he says, indefinite

u. s. is fighting this war for very hard, cold, political reasons, and that is, it wants to, it was a rollback russian power and eliminate, and russia as a significant military force for decades to come. that has been clear from, from the beginning. and it's willing to use all kinds of forces including neo nazi forces in order to achieve that goal. the un relief chief has admitted the organization failure to provide aid to northwestern syria with people that said to be feeling abandoned. now says the strongest earthquakes in decades left at least 4300 dead in the area that's according to the u. n. at the turkey as syria border today, we have so far failed the people in northwest syria. they rightly feel abandoned looking for international help that hasn't arrived. my duty and our obligation is to correct this failure as fast as we can. that's my focus. now. the u. n's, adolph essays relief efforts were being hampered by the hardest militancy occupied northwest in syria. the hyatt to rear schon

u. s. is fighting with israel unjustifiably but here to protest against the american positions which are totally by us to whistle and to send a message to mister lincoln that he cannot tight away from the massacres that are committed against palestinians and her that day. and i just, this has done really nothing to stop the, the fascist government in israel from committing crimes against palestinians over to the united states has consistently cited with as well no matter what. and that in itself, that betrays the principles that the americans claim regarding self determination, equality, freedom for all, all this. they say it as a fury, but when it comes to practicing it, especially with the listing of people, it doesn't exist. as i said here, we are here to express our rejection to lincoln's visit to the region, which comes with a new s unlimited support for israeli occupation, which carries out aggressive actions against the palestinian people. the u. s. still sells only lip service to the p

u. s. is the world's leading military power and opposition. republican party members have now they've got on the offensive, and they've accused biden of not acting decisively enough. and they say that he's fail to protect american national security. let's have a listen to what they've said. i friend robert o'brien, former national security adviser. why aren't we taking action to deal with this? and why didn't we know about it? robert o'brien, larry, this is one of those embarrassing things i've ever seen. and in american diplomacy, we sped trillions and trillions of dollars on hardware and soldiers on airmen and sailors. and we can't do anything about it. why was this allowed to go clear across the country? for so many days, if you look at this national security is one of these things that any country can do. it is a core function of government. we see that the biden administration knew about this sir balloon days ago. and it seems that there was an opportunity when i was coming over islands i

u. s. government said that there was another other political prisoner. so this is yet another example. venezuelan government has also done this where the, these governments that are heavily sanctioned illegally by the u. s. they make it an example of a concession, which is potentially a move toward negotiations to try to lift sanctions. and we'll see if u. s. actually does, of course, i think president ortega understands that you can't ever really, truly negotiate with the u. s. we saw that with the iran nuclear deal. the u. s. will always violate it side of the agreement. but it is a sign that the nicaraguan government is willing to make some compromises. if the u . s. is willing to lift some of these illegal sanctions that continue to hurt the nicaraguan economy and many, thanks for breaking all that don, frist this are always good to see on the program independent journalist, ben norton life on our team. thanks for having me. washington's and 9 slums to ease sanctions on syria, the mid mounting pressure over aid flow to the earth. quick stricken country being ha

u. s. is not going anywhere essentially that that support remains. and it's also important for him back home. he is under increasing pressure over the year 2020 to the u. s. allocated a 100 and a little over $112000000000.00 in aid to ukraine. that's a lot of money over one years time we're talking about again military economic, humanitarian aid and questions are starting to be asked in the u. s. while there is widespread support still pretty quick questions are starting to be asked, particularly from republican members of congress. how long does, as long as it takes actually me and how that can be a serious concern for ukraine or for poland? well that's, that's an important question. and i think, you know, if you listen to democratic members of congress, they say no, that is not a concern. and most republicans also say that's not a concern. of course, you know, that's the question that d w put to republican members of congress who came to the new security conference and they were very clear. mitch mcconnell, the senate minority leader, was very clear

u. s. is recruiting and training is a law miss terrorist status basis syria to commit a tax on russia and neighboring states. that's the $42.00 russian foreign intelligence service, lose position. the russian forces inside the village of marty and archie follows russian troops as they advanced in a battle for one of the key radium strongholds outside. don, yes. as you're here and syria struggle with the aftermath of a devastating earthquake humanitarian help is being delivered from all over the world, including from one of the most crisis tricking states. nothing rolled out. that's the comment of a u. s. air force official on whether the mysterious object shut down in canada overnight put feet adventurous girl. ah. good afternoon for martine or national students in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories from across the globe. i'm fiorella is about the u. s. is recruiting islamic state and al qaeda affiliated militants to conduct terror attacks in russia and neighboring states. this is t

u. s. leader is, is the devil, and he's not going to break relations the u. s. but he is going to do what's in brazil's best interest, not what's in washington's best interests, which means he's going to deep in relations with china, with russia, with iran, with india, with pockets on and with many countries around the world. and he's going to try to turn latin america into a regional block that is united and can have it can fight for its own interests in this multi polar world on the international stage. lula already promised before he won the election, he said that he wants to create a new currency for latin america. so the region is not dependent on the u. s. dollar. he wants the region to do more trade among itself and also with other countries in the global south following the model of south south. while peroration so lula, he has always had very good relations with china and russia. and i expect them to continue to deepen and lula is going to also play an important political role, trying to stabilize the world. as the u. s. constantly pushes for more war, a

is it's protest. we have repeatedly informed the u. s. site that the balloon is design purely for civilian use and accidentally cross the u. s. borders. in such circumstances. the u. s. use of force is an obese of reaction and a violation of international practice. let's press life now to our correspondence, steve sweeney. r. this has been the talk for the last few days. could you tell us more about this role between china and the u. s. and the chinese balloon? yes, so finally, after days of deliberation and doubt, u. s. foreign to jets of short term, what they claim is a chinese spy bloom. beijing of course denies this. it says that it was a web whether observation, a balloon. although there is some confusion over whose recommendation it was to to shoot down the balloon. ma'am, that's listen to what you as president joe biden told jan this earlier. and i'm so successful, we took a dow and i want to compliment our aviators or didn't and want more to report on her so a little later because i wanted to say that i know on this, i know the s

is being wasted. it's it clearly the u. s. government that clearly that the landscape government is death threat to avoid these kinds of negative stories. but clearly the corruption that has characterized the ukraine for decades has not suddenly going away as a consequence of the military conflict. as the landscape has secured a supply of western tanks to ukraine, and now kiev is pushing for fighter jets. where do you think the red line should eventually be drawn? and this proxy war against russia? is obviously, it's very important for us point of view not to be drawn directly into a war with russia. so therefore, the u. s. is trying to, to, to sell the ukraine, the kind of weapons that can only be used in the ukraine itself. the use of fighter jets would be highly problematic in the us point of view because they could easily be deployed against russia itself, which would have the effective drawing us into a direct military conflict. so the u. s. is hesitant to supply the ukraine with f sixteens or similar aircraft. but the u

and china relationship, it is very tense at the moment, just on thursday. the u. s. announce that it is stepping up its military presence in the philippines. it is believed that that is seen to be the u. s. trying to deter china from taking action in taiwan. there were other issues that would have been discussed like hong kong human rights violations in nash and john, also the south china sea, and of course, the war in ukraine and what china could do with its role in deterring russia. so there was always going to be a lot of difficult issues to discuss on this visit. not a lot of common ground. rather, it appears that this spy balloon incident derailed of is entirely. no, i understand the pentagon just held a briefing. what do we know about this balloon and where it's going? yes, so i listened into this briefing with a brigadier general pat writer. he was speaking with a meeting. he made a few points care had he said a while. he was asked about china statement that this is a civilian aircraft, a weather balloon, as it were, he said, we know it's a surveillance ballo

u. s. is recruiting and training is lamas terrorist added basis area to commit attacks on russia and neighboring state. that's according to russia's foreign intelligence service with the full would lose position over the russian forces. inside the village of modern art, he follows russian troops as they advanced in the battle for one of the key ukrainian strongholds outside don. yes. mm hm. it's theory of struggle with the aftermath of a devastating earthquake humanitarian help is being delivered from all over the world, including from one of the most prices stricken state. nothing rolls out, that's the comment of the u. s. air force official on whether the mysterious object shot down in canada overnight could be extraterrestrial. ah, good morning from our theater national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories from across the globe. i'm fiorella is about and breaking news this hour, the u. s. is recruiting islamic state and o keita affiliated militants to conduct terror atta

u. s. unilaterally, is in the u. s. interest, and they respect whatever news that the u. s. released. so immediately we can already see how they view this visit as a not viable at all after the u. s. response and the u. s. reaction. and now the chinese are taking a very defensive position compared to the original 1st in response that they have, which is a lot more apologetic. then the 2nd one. quickly, william, how is all this being received among china's neighbors? so in time one on the in foreign ministry, immediately released an incident, a statement basically that criticizing china's move and saying that china's move is creating on certain and t for regions. and also i the same thing of characterizing it as an illegal move to violate another country sovereignty and also intruding another country's aerospace and calling on beijing to immediately stop such actions . again, that was a william yang in tie. pay many thanks, william. thank you. a brief look now at some of the other stories from around the world. ossie and foreign ministers meeting in jakarta have urged miramar to implem

u. s. is doing all that it thinks is necessary for ukraine to defend itself from bratia. but that it was not going to be pushed hastily into a discussion of whether the u. s. should be providing some of its f. 16 fighter jets to the ukranian air force as part of that military support of the i'll follow up question was, well, you know, the u. s. has said no before to was certain missiles to certain missile defense systems to why abrams tanks. and every time that seems the u. s. has finally given in and the secretary of state's response was as of right now, the u. s. is view is that f sixteens are not part of what ukraine actually needs in order to defend itself. that's not to say that the u. s. is wavering, in any sense, in its support for ukraine's efforts against russia. rosalind jordan live in washington dc. thank you. ah, now the white house is responded to claims published online that the us was behind a tax which sabotaged the gnawed stream pipeline last year. the claims are made in a blo

u. s. government nor ad is monitoring this closely. and we will continue to review how close was the u. s. to ordering a was the present ordering a shoot down of the balloon? yeah, so again, i'm not going to get into discussions, internal discussions within the white house again. right now we assess that there is no threat physical threat or military threats, people on the ground. so we're continuing to monitor, you know, then we'll just leave it at that. thank you. we go to genie and they'll go to real . thanks janet her we're come to home. i have a 2 cases, comma ok in response to say could have totally osteen reason to do the marks that the more u. s. is started, the assets will come to this. i was korea, north korea wanda, all was stronger, provocations in the near future. what is your comment on the? i'm was certainly not surprising, given north korea's track record of making bellicose statements. again, what we're focused on is on preserving peace. security is to police in listening there to a media briefing at the pentagon in the

u. s taiwan is a great example of this because the u. s. is that a protector of taiwan? the consensus is that president, she, during probably next 5 years, is going to absorbed taiwan peacefully by force, by both whatever. but one of the reasons that taiwan is important is because chips computer chips. and so what is the united states been doing last year and this year president biden has from a business perspective, there are a 145000000 consumers in the russian federation. so no company is going to want to write that off. and even since february 24th of last year, the number of companies that have remained in the russian federation are much higher than people think for various reasons, whether it's, you know, legal or it's positional. but they've remained and, you know, the u. s. government goal with respect to changing the behavior of the russian federation when it comes to ukraine. it's difficult to separate that from the impact of sanctions and with respect to access to the marketplace. because for us companies even today, and this goes sort of circle to what i was s

u. s. is good morality and the way why conscious will be continuously question into until the afghan people can use this money. why will the you as a try to make the life harder for african people? we urge the u. s. to reflect on what it has done wrong, returned a frozen answer to have gone government leave to the unilateral sanctions and to give a responsible explanation and accountability to the african peoples geniune vega, probably shout or colon toolbar, bosher, the me in white or wine. sure. can you have a real good, a ukrainian diplomat with in china the sadie? oh, this is what you could do so far. there is no signal for any talk. speak trent prisons with zalinski and present. she jane being is china willing to hold such a talk between the 2 presidents, boucher, we maintain smooth communication between all relevant parties including ukraine. next question, please. crying ha formation when they're doing financial either you know, how many people shadonia on the paper this year marks the
