u. s. kind of late. so democratic order is more broadly, which they see as really the main hindrances to their national goals, vladimir putin, for what he wants to achieve and ukraine and, and you, he sees the u. s. a. standing in his way. likewise, she, jim ping, seeing the u. s. a standing in its way towards what it calls you, read for cation with taiwan, towards it's a rise as a major global power. so really, this is all about signaling also to the united states that we're sticking together a briefly other really seeing i to i always one gaining more than the other. i mean, it is certainly, it's an, it's, it's not an equal relationship, but not at all. i mean, russia is far more dependent now on china than the other way route without chinese support. russia would be in very, very difficult circumstances. now, she is also trying to appear as a, please tell us more about the, the chinese piece plan for you cry. yes. and this is where i kind of what we just talked about, kind of gets a bit more complicat

in other words, they want to kind of use it to bolster, use this conflict and the proper propagation of the conflict to bolster their military industrial complex like the u s's, which doesn't really give them very much incentive to tamp things down or to head to the negotiating table when they're still kind of jockeying for position in order to get to, to get some kind of benefit out of all this. meanwhile, you know, they're talking about increasing french defense production as a result of all this and having it funded by u tax money essentially. meanwhile, french bakeries are struggling to keep the bag yet alive. so there's like years away from the everyday concerns of the average european at this point. yeah. well it's all about priorities and the average citizen, they're the lowest found the totem pole here, or i'm gonna jump in here. we're going to go to a short break, and after that short break, we'll continue our discussion on ukraine and propaganda state with hardly ah, ah, in the least of canter. russians state little, never, i've stayed as i'm phoning most landscape diva. mm hm. and i'm not getting all something up with it within the 50 babel disabi

u. s. as kind of overstepped over played at hand. it's been so aggressive in pursuing its war against russia that they spoke to the rest of the world. people don't want to do business with a bullying regime like so. that's also been shown by recent reconciliation efforts between iran and saudi arabia hawks that took place recently in china. and that's also very significant because here is china stepping into the middle east to try and brokers some agreements between parties that historically do not get along very well. and that also is going to have an effect on the situation in israel, because israel and saudi arabia for a long time have gotten along pretty pretty well. and saudi arabia has refrained from criticizing their actions too heavily. so now when i ran into israel, our enemies, so with saudi arabia and iran attempting to re establish relations that doesn't look good for israel's influence. and there are russian forces and syria, which are providing a check against israeli attacks on, has below, or iranian targets in syria.

kind of these. but that's more control to the u. s. as to become ever more control oriented and warmer people will be attracted to the alternatives being created by china, russia, and the bricks countries. ok, thank you. we're running short on time, but i want to just ask one last requested it to mr. rollie ross has repeatedly warned against the us using his current. he's a political weapon. so do you think the dollars decline and the shift to non dollar trade because actually help insulate developing nations? developing economies from washington functions briefly place because it depends by developing countries because in south america is always going to be under american domination. i mean, except prevent as well in cuba as most of asia, is going to be dominated by china in india, except for in japan and korea, which are with the u. s. so the big, the big battlefield, you might say africa that's going to, for grants and those countries are gonna have to ask themselves, do we want to be dominated by the us? or do we want a fair relati

kind of huge monopoly. we have to remind us that both the u. b. s and decreased before the magic words are mos 2 important suites banks. as a citizen, we at now is a kind of concentration. but not the concentration of good banks, but concentration of bad bands. and if this kind of situation is not given quickly at dress, get ricky fixed by authority. b, z government b, z us sent a central bank. then we will go on for the long number of recurrent fries east. the widespread use of corporation tax to avoid far higher income tax rates, now is reserved for ordinary workers. it's also now widely exploited by institutional investors and their backers. this feeds into the bazaar reality that a global banking sector that should exist to serve economic activity has now grown to war. for those very economies, they're supposed to support as ordinary taxpayers faced the very real possibility of yet again picking up the time for these huge profit mails. it's time to ask ourselves who's working for who and whether there is a better way to protect their societies f

and we also heard that it wasn't uncommon to have such kind of intercepts, particularly off the u. s. stepped up at the intensity of these in a, of these, in a recognizance missions with drones. it since the russian attack on ukraine. so it's all interconnected, but this does stick out as a very dangerous encounter. indeed, in this how big over water is in the black sea, very close. as we all know, to an active war zone, which is eastern, you crate it, it would seem that this would be when washington in moscow communicate directly to avoid any accidental escalation. is that happen? well, we know that both sides are talking. now we don't know what happened before, and during this we learned from the west side. they say that these 2 russian debts, where near the us drone for 30 to 40 minutes before they started into, well, basically more than intercepting it in the end, touching one of the propellers which led to the americans having to down their own drone because they simply couldn't do it anymore, and this is where it gets crucial. this was not mand, luckily, but it was and steered

u. s. own kind of efforts, i think we've seen again over the past week, the tax us attacks on iranian roofs, troops in syria and followed shortly after the iranian cell. d. no truce if you want to call it in chinese, negotiate these to heal. and it also kind of shows us that there is no solution to any conflict in the world that the us is not a part of that the last will be a problem and not, not a solution which complicates think as far as the isis concerned. i read it as he had another blow to another, international organization and other international norm. you know, us as, as much as the trust to worse the dollar currency. the financial markets of the west has been a suburban in the early months of the conflict in the great, now we see yet another institution of being derailed. and that's just, you know, the reality that we'll live in that is telling us about the crumbling of the existing world order and the shape, you know, something it actually, it started jumping. what's your, what's, what's our respect that the guest says it's very, very important. the so called rules based order th

u. s. is kind of their daddy right now, and i think that has a lot more to do with the things that we've done inside of ukraine. the secrets that are hidden inside of ukraine, as this is a devil's playground for most of the establishment of lead leaders that have been doing harm to people around the world for decades. and it's just go back to this award. that is the thought that we're talking about. i mean, isn't due diligence done when it comes to some background checks and i don't know. and even if they've talked about even, you know, the white house press secretary and i was talking about, oh, she was in the dunbar, susan marable. i mean, what was she doing? they must realize that there was something going on. you know, in these says 2014 in that area where we are now. does that strike and ring any bells to people will remember the associated press back in early 2022 when she was apprehended by the by the russian troops of the story then was that she was a volunteer paramedic yet she was found w

u. s. own kind of efforts, i think we've seen again over the past week, the tax, the tax on iranian roofs, troops in syria. and that fall shortly after, you know, the iranian cell, the know truce if you want to call it in chinese go, she is the steel and also kind of shows us that there is no solution to any conflict in the world that us is not a part of that, the west will be a problem and not, not a solution which complicates things as far as the isis is concerned. i read it as yet another blow to yet another international organization and other international norm. you know, us as, as much as the trust to worse the dollar currency at the financial markets of the west has been a bird in the early months of the conflict in the right. now we see yet another institution of been derailed. and that's just, you know, the reality it will live in that is telling us that all the crumbling of the existing world order in the shape, you know something it actually amateur a 2nd. sorry, go ahead. jump in. what's your, what's with our respect that the guest says it's very, very important that the so ca

u b. s. and that is not good. it's good to have competition. and we won't have that anymore off some merger between her, her credit suisse and a u. b. s or a. is it kind of off a hug? good marriage between 2 lame decks, of course, ah, to situation with sir eric decrease was going badly. but u b s, as now, a longstanding is trade off bad records in banking. and i don't believe that he's kind of marriage cool souls in the long term, the crises for ordinary workers and communities. it essentially means that regardless of what your economy actually produces, be the cars, energy, medicine or high tech services. it all counts for nothing. if a major bank fails, leaving ordinary citizens to face the catastrophic consequences of failure. this leaves us to ask ourselves what the actual value of these vast financial institutions is to the societies they've so by the 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 us to. that's right. the investment bank and it's shareholders who's disproportionate in

u. s. has already weighed and it's threatened to sanction the country. why do you think the u. s. has decided to weigh in already seen the the u. s. using it's kind of position as the world's leading economy as the new front in the, in the fight for has a lot of power throughout the world. that they are able to use the threat of things and to stop union government action. we've seen that the fame comes against russia, for example, have been very ineffective and stopping the stock and the rest of the economy from growing and proceeding going forward. however, countries that are not as big as russia, they do not have be robust fossil fuels. and at for power of a nation might russell, very much have been for the when the work from how it was understanding the sentence of that nature could be bankrupt them to create more civil unrest and strife. among the crowds of protest is incomplete. we've seen people waving american flags, ukrainian flags, and the flags which have led some observers to compare these events to the 2014 my done the uprising. and can you see any similarities here yourself or the similarity that i see is that even in that situation,

u. s. a. china and russia p to be hardening in their positions. we've seen china kind of making moves recently starting to talk about like presenting what it called a position paper. it's few on what an political solution to this war could look like a position paper that was infused with its opposition to the united states century . blaming the united states for, for the outbreak of that war. so you have all the one had the russia and china kind of getting closer together. and china potentially using its position on the ukraine as part of what is emerging into a kind of cold war between us and china. so you really see like kind of express through this failure to get to communicate just how difficult situation the world is at the moment between these 2 polls. so what's the dynamic here? the u. s. in europe a long versus russia and china with that simple. well, not, not really because if you look at the numbers here, you had russia and china objecting to these passages about ukraine war and the rest of the g. 20. not because they'd already signed off on it in bali 4 mont

u. s, it doesn't serve their interest to have any kind of confrontation in their main trading corridor. but at this juncture, the u. s. really feels strongly that it needs to contain china, that this might be the last chance it has before china becomes economically too, too big, or jag or not to, to put in a box. i mean, you say that china doesn't want to create tension spots. the state of relations between china and the u. s. do appear to be going from bad to west, and china is not blameless. we've got, you know, the issue with the balloons in, in the u. s. and so on. is this what china wants? well, i, i'm surprised. you mentioned the balloons in the u. s. has 30 to you to spy planes that fly all over the world, including china, almost daily basis. spying does go on the idea that these balloons were somehow provocations to the us. you know, something visible to the naked eye is kind of pastor us, and i think most people have put that down in terms of tensions. the main tension is china success. they have done very well, they're going to be the largest growing economy this year as compar

problem because the nighted stage about what kind of resurfacing the cold war mccarthy's and you know, that would be social, straight up here would be socials in the u. s. so instead, you know, you kind of make this play for germany based on military strength is military power . you create these, these john quincy adams called the monsters to destroy long ago, right after world war 2. george can still have 6 percent of the population and 50 percent of the wealth, and our task is to maintain disposition of disparity. and that's really still american policy to, to, to maintain the power to maintain that power. and it used to sell the idea to america, get prosperity from detroit to steel mills of basis like that, that's not there anymore. now it's based on the fear and, and all of these other problems that emerge. and so you talk about things like china, russia rather than the global warming, which is obviously great crisis for any of the extinction of the entire planets. and in the us, we're just not really discussing it or doing much about it. yeah, well i, i don't really see any meaningful political discussion in the united states if you watch cable ne

this has worked that, as you pointed out, i think it's kind of what the u. s. did it the end of the 19th 20th century is sending out trade ships and sending out diplomats belton road initiative. the general, these piece docs between the saudis and iran ears. and so would say, hey, we know, you know, it's central and central asia and ask about, in the middle east to say we have something to offer you. and your writers are really based on, you know, kind of a commitment to have the same kind of political system or political reality. it's this idea, you know, united states called the open door, you know, at the end of the 20th century 19th, 20th and early 20th century. and that's kind of what the chinese you're doing. they're not saying, hey, we're going to come in here. we're going to blow you to bed. we're going to work on project armies. ready they're saying is we're going to extend trade, we're going to help you develop some kind of manufacturing based that will help you know, the word back of the 20 central would be modernized and it's working on and much of

this is as a reflex action kind of fear that the u. s. lead has many, it seems to be under siege and you can see that they are playing this false narrative in blackening demonizing, china over human rights office in jan over hong kong, over walkway and even over tick tock. and then anything you know can be twisted to implied at devilish china set out to destroy the world. now the reality is far from the case. it is absolutely a fear of the emerging multicolor world that would put us in a 2nd place. just one of many. so at this juncture, fear and panic is kind of driving that. remember, originally the u. s. wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together. europe manufacturing prowess with rushes, resources would have been, i threat to us gentlemen, economically. so unfortunately, what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic. and as of course, you know, the chinese president, eugene ping has been here in moscow for the past 3 d

kinds of crimes. the chinese government accused him of committing and it seems like the u. s. officials were looking the other way and covering up for his fraudulent criminal nature when they saw him as a useful propagandist against the chinese government. and it shows that the u. s. officials have a, have a kind of interest and willingness to overlook certain criminal activities if it serves geopolitical and so the recent arrest seems to reveal a level of hypocrisy. it's worth noting that's a gallon gray at one point. busy was was on flights with tony blair. he was part of the mara largo club with donald trump and it he received kind of a he rose, welcome and special treatment for u. s. officials. despite it now being pointed out by u. s. officials, he's facing very serious charges of being a fraudster. tell him anything for details on his case. he wants to watch for sure . thanks very much. i thought he said caleb, moving speaking to his life, knew you well, meanwhile, ukraine, what was the for soviet made fine jose from poland within the next few days. thus, according to t

u. s. re, i think what that is is kind of a proof of concept of the way in which this platform or the access and relationship between the platform and, and individuals in china and the way in which that could be used for influenza manipulation. and that journal is, by the way, it had written the story based on insight, tighter sources about bite dance using a news app to push pro chinese messages. and so that was a big part of yesterday's hearing as well on capitol hill, which is the way in which this platform could be to manipulate public opinion through things like another. one of the good examples that came up yesterday was the prevalence of misinformation about elections and how much of that stayed up on tick tock, relative to other usb platforms. i'll turn this back to you for a response here, but i do want to point out, you said that there wasn't direct evidence of government influence or intervention, but here we do have direct evidence of a number of people in china using private data to track someone without the knowledge well, massage or if you're going to use that standard. now 1s

clearly trying to do a balancing act between giving over to russia to also take advantage of these kind of anti u. s. strong. and at the same time, positioning china as good global power supporting the global styles interest. great to get your inside fat braced point, the a see our vast, nothing global joining us from, ty, leisure, a brace. thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. french protest is have taken to the streets again in anger, over pension reforms ran through by president manuel the con, deeply unpopular changes have lifted their retirement age by 2 years. despite the fury, the government shows no signs of relenting after an hourly surviving to confidence in parliament. the un is calling for urgent humanitarian assistance in malawi, in the aftermath of cycling freddie. the deadly storm hit southern africa last week, killing almost 500 people and displacing half a 1000000 more local authorities say the cycling has worse and a deadly color outbreak which could push the death toll above 1000 uganda parliament has approved a bill which if sign in

you see there's only one kind of the u. s. official policy is by a much, it's been a scale back these days so. so the chinese thinks that this, these are different. but the chances that are, you know, the taiwanese will become far more challenging the country that the prospect for country is rising. and it's very difficult to make even more difficult now, to scale back to step back. so i think the danger is, is rising, but i think loose like bull size do not know the u. s. i tried to reinterpret taiwan issue one way or another. but the question. ready is how much china can maintain this neutrality? let's use the word neutrality. i would say this is precisely that the issue, the rising tension from united states to force china to chew size and precise at this moment. chinese believe it is time at the one year anniversary of the you can conflict to promote peace, to propose the chinese version of the piece a solution. and of course the chinese have been talking about many of those points in the past year multiple times. and thi

u. s. mentality is something very close to early 19 fifties and his hysterical, i must say that it's kind of penny on where the penny come from. i believe is a deadly combination of 2 historical trains of thinking. populate in the west. now they combine together when it, whenever they think about china, one is the fear of decline. not remember this whole spangler a philosophy about a decline, the west and united states simply being number one for so long. suddenly phasing the possibility of the gossip declining is or spangler ism then combined with a racial concept which being popular in late 19th century, that is yellow arrow. so these 2 things joined together, really frightens the american of foreign policy elite. and is they were, they think is a real challenge, but the never use the language. i say what they trying to do. but they, they disguise spangler ism, and the yellow peril sentiment with ideological in autocracy versus a democracy. it typical cold war tactic, though, it's not even since it, but surely those policy makers in washington realize that the components of, of all thei
