we've got a big image problem down there. public opinion is really against getting into bed with the u. s. they just don't trust the u. s. and things haven't really changed. people on the continent still don't like america's presence, wasn't polluted job and the americans are back because they see an advantage to take over the remaining resources and continue to enrich themselves hard. we have little to no chance of getting help to stop them from taking our resources, what they are posing as if they are helping us. but they have their own agenda and the benefits they get in return. they are benefiting from whatever they are doing in africa. there is something they want pressure that all find them intimidating until they tried to manipulate our resources and what we have and what we've fought so hard to gain in their tied to take it as their own. and below to get away from us was we worked really hard to be where we are. good we, i mean what the luck when it all, unless your presence is not helping as much as you can see, many people are suffering in prices for everything. are increasing a

u. s. and this political requirement wasn't really worked through, in terms of, you know, the, the impact on the colonies, the impact on societies in europe. because essentially the u. s. is not really concerned with that at all. and the european politicians had given and too quickly too early without working this through what we are now seeing is that that realization is hitting home. and we will therefore see a watering down of these goals. and what's currently being discussed is already significant compromise. and you can see that the political nature of this is saying, all we're gonna ban the the see born oil and gas delivery service. that's what we're going to and we're going to work on the rest later. well, the vast majority is of course, by pipelines on the land route. and therefore, this is already a major climb down some of the few countries where the leaders were a bit more foss scientists and had already earlier made the objections known as of cause hungary. and also more recently, the czech republic and slovakia. landlord countries, very much dependent on the continuation of pipe

u. s. officials really taking a very nuanced approach when it comes to talking about israel. surprised at that, i mean, let's think about that. he, she said it was deeply disturbing that they should be remembering the life of remarkable journalists who lost her life, not who was shot in the head where there were no protest near by. well, wearing her press jacket. let's not forget, this is administration that says it prides itself on freedom of the press for protecting the press. and initial report. bodies really military says it's not ruling out faults by israeli soldiers, according to israeli media, and military is looking at 2 scenarios on that. shaheen was hit by palestinians who far the bullets towards israeli military vehicles. the 2nd that israeli soldier returning fire inadvertently hit those other headlines and use continues. here on al jazeera off the studio. b. unscripted stay with us. ah, the shake hammered award for translation and international understanding is accepting nominations for the year 2022 from february 15th until august, 15th this year. for more information go to

u. s. officials really taking a very, a nuanced approach when it comes to talking about israel. surprised at that. i mean, let's think about that. she said it was deeply disturbing that they should be remembering the life of a remarkable journalist who lost her life not who was shot in the head where there were no protests near by while wearing her press jacket. let's not forget, this is administration that says it prides itself on freedom of the press for protecting the press. let's not forget, shreed abu aka aqua clay was an american citizen. she, they went on to ask, do you condemn these this attack? and she said, i'm just pretty much going to leave it where it stands. so a very muted response. what we've seen is them call for an investigation. are they going to put pressure on israel to conduct that invent an investigation? they haven't in the past? so i guess we'll have to wait and see on, given that an incredibly muted response, as you say, was the full out from this locker to be going forward. well, i think you can be a, have a bit of a disconnect if you don't live here in the unit

u. s. strategists and war planners, it really means can they break the relations, the trade relations? he economic exchanges between the u, especially germany and russia. could they do this through war and the demand for sanctions? we shouldn't forget that buying promised nuclear war if, if the sanctions weren't voted said it's world war 3 or it's sanctions. so from the very beginning, it's been how to break the economic relations and it has come back and hit with a vengeance on the countries of the e. u. here in the u. s. globally, in terms of famine, literally in africa, when you have spiraling inflation, raises an energy cost. it is a war that has already reduced ukraine from the most prosperous country at the time of the division of the soviet union. the most prosperous of the republics to today, the poorest country in europe. and the war is now making the e u, they're really paying the price as they say, folks and britain have to choose between heating and eating. now, how has russia fought this war? they fought it very differently from the u. s. in the u. s. from day one, iraq afg

u. s. are really taking the hit on the dollar and the euro. and again, in terms of inflation, in terms of the impact on working people, it is pretty rough throughout europe today. but those who decide on the was they're the ones who want to keep fighting because that's why there's billions of dollars and super profits to be made from these wars. so they talk peace while making war and continuing the war. and at the same time, i mean fighting in a speech to nato in late march, that food shortages are going to be real. and the price of sanctions is not just imposed on russia. it will be felt in europe and the u. s. well that was a pretty honest state the, the cost of the sanctions, the cost of the war will be felt also in africa and asia has the price of food and fertilizer and fuel for everything increases diesel. i think it's, yeah, sorry. do you think that the war could already have ended? if we could have a lady seen a victory for whichever side? if the, the wife wasn't trying to prolong it so much, the war could have been ended day one. the

u. s . president really trying to get ahead of what he anticipates may not be the best headlines for his administration. so talk a through then. kimberly what impacts this interest rate hike may have yeah, well a, in terms of what this could mean it, the bottom line is it's going to probably hit hardest small businesses and also ordinary americans who can't afford to buy the things that have become more expensive in this country, due to inflation, things like cars to get to work or a place to live at the cost to borrow that and buy the murder rather, get the money from the bank to get those things is, is going to become more expensive because if you have the cash you can pay for it at that price, but if you have to borrow the cost of borrowing that interest is going to compound so that price is actually going to be much higher in the end for those goods. and that's the problem here is that americans are already paying a lot more for goods, like food, or rent, in fact, inflations at a 40 year high here in the united states. and so this is very frustrating is we're hearing the treasury sec

so all of the areas that are really desired by the u. s. and the 3rd 8 con reconsideration behind this trip is to launch and promote the indoor pacific economy framework this evening. or isn't this sir in the pacific? and i'll make economic framework or the i p f deal is to make supply chains more resilient. isn't likely to do that. yeah. and actually is highly uncertain as to is sir mpeg, eddie and this is also linked to the high uncertainty as to the membership. because as far as i know, although they might be a tough countries in the pacific region, which will join the launch event this evening. in many countries in the region asked, you're quite skeptical. on the one hand, it's because they still have this kind of experience in mind and what happened and in the pastor as to the t p p. so at the or not so sure whether this time or walk better or with the i p f. and on the other hes also because that they don't really see that the benefits are to these countries because sir this time the i p f will not be length that you are great access

u. s. is attention really should be on china. but mr. mog, i, there are a lot of, even here in russia who said just that indirectly this call may be beneficial to china. because while americans keep talking their talk, their ability to actually address what they see as china's problem is now curtailed to significant extent. do you agree with that? well, i can certainly see why some or would say that. but i think that one thing we should bear in mind too is there are china's rhetoric and i will say behavior has been consistent over decades. and that that alignment is around the central idea. the peaceful development really has to be the goal. and a corollary to there is that this whole war block type thinking of us versus them, the good guys versus the bad guys are, is really counterproductive for every body. of course, it's not in china's interest to pursue a new cold war or some sort of destructive a competition or with other countries around the world. i would say that even for the united states, that it would be much better se

u. s. government. so this was public interest journalism that julian assigned was engaged with. and he really exposed to u. s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. c. i a spying on innocent citizens as well as torture. so this case is very serious and extradited. julian assigned to the united states is a blatant violation of human rights and will like many other journalists at risk in the future. rushes foreign ministry has leveled fresh accusations against the u. s. it saying it has proof that washington conducted illegal developments of bio weapons inside ukraine prior to russia's military operation. the following that i see is get the materials received by russia. allow us to draw an unambiguous conclusion that inside the bar laboratories of ukraine in the emitted vicinity of russia. the development of biological weapons was carried out with the support of private american companies affiliated with the u. s. military department. early this week, during an international security me things, a lot of my parents said russia has documentary evidence of bio weapons labs in your claim. the crimina

really see or that the benefits are to these countries. because sir, this time the i p f will not be linked to a greater excess or to the u. s. market and tariff cars will not be included either . so they were asked himself, ah, quite roundly what they can really, again, if they're joined the i p f. but i talked to counter this problem, the us or government already interviewed that there might be some flexibility as do own the countries can choose and say are only modules they are interested in saw and is my keep the costs of i p f membership lower than the case, the when the countries are required to assess all the modules and thus making i, if he ever member she probably acceptable for more countries. bustios are we don't know at the end to which countries with joy, we don't know in which death and to which extent and, and if there will be at the end only a limited number of countries will joy the impact or be probably low once earlier or the hill institute for the wall agari. thank you for your thoughts. thank you. and now to some of the other global business stories making news, indonesia, the world's leading palm. oil e

u. s. is attention really should be on china. but mr. morgan, i, there are a lot of analyst, even here in russia, who said, just that indirect me. these calls like may be beneficial to china because while the americans keep talking their talk, the ability to actually address what they see as china's problem is now curtailed significant. next time. do you agree with that? well, i can certainly see why some or would say that. but i think that one thing we should bear in mind too is that a chain is rhetoric. and i will say behavior has been consistent over decades. and that that alignment is around the central idea. the peaceful development really has to be the goal. and a corollary to that is that this cold war block type thinking are us versus them. the good guys versus the bad guys are, is really counterproductive for every body. of course, it's not in china's interest to pursue a new cold war or some sort of destructive a competition or with other countries around the world. i would say that even for the united states, that it would be

i really can't complain. the u. s. is eating some of its crippling sanctions on venezuela allowing major american oil company chevron to restart operations in the country off the years of washington. heavily criticizing the government of president madura, i think carrying descent in the country. washington authorized us in european oil companies to negotiate and resume operations in venezuela. on the surface it looks like a total turnaround is zigzag. the united states is saying that chevron and american oil companies can start doing business. some of the sanctions are being lifted. now you'll recall that that is waylon is led by the united socialist party, started by hugo chavez and later now it's nicholas enduro. leave the country, and the usa has been trying to cross his way. the u. s. crippling sanctions they say that are intended to foot maximum pressure on the country to remove it's a little acted leaders from a socialist party. there have been qu attempts where the united states has been proven to be involved in

u. s. and analysts say that visit really was part of efforts by the u. s. to prevent china's dominance in the endo pacific region. and these meetings taken together, send a signal that the biden administration considers the inter pacific region as a top priority. and that it sees china as a strategic challenge. so i think the, the message here to its friends and allies in the region is that the u. s. is back . it's committed to the region. and its message to china is that it wants the indo pacific to remain free and open or at florence when he thinks indeed of 0 as far as lou either live in. so heavy rain flooding a landslides or affecting the lives of 700000 people in northeast of india in a, sam stays at least 10 have died in the latest town pools. and farmers say that most of the crops are gone. more rain is forecast and is expected to slow rescue efforts, missouri probably the towel is in some what you're seeing are essentially fears and many homes that have been completely inundated with water because of heavy rains and flooding that have lashed the st

u. s. orders. government hasn't really been close to the origin because it is on the depletion of the armis, which is controlled by the u. s. u. s. was very unhappy with the former prime minister because it made it clear that the the, the show was get was very to give us on, on 30 percent confession. and he's the economy of the pockets on has been a very bad position in any one of the economy back on track. i think when he was removed, there was a public backlash because there was already an american. cindy mentioned fucking song. and when people came to know this is jim june's agenda was stalked by. americans, i think then people are turn oregon hundreds of paul's and she's gone. the farmer farmers on the street con, has held a series of rallies to demand fresh elections. after he was outed in a no confidence of vote by the national parliament in april, in scenes of unrest earlier in the week, demonstrators clashed with police while officers use tear gas and barricades to keep people from entering the capital. on thursday, comment gave the current government and ultimate of mending early e

the e u, they're really paying the price as they say, folks in britain have to choose between heating and eating. now, how has russia fought this war? they fought it very differently from the u. s. in the u. s. from day one, iraq afghanistan, anywhere in the world. they knock out the water, the sanitation sewage, the food warehouses, the entrance, all the communication systems, day one, and they advertise it, they push it out. the hospitals, the medical center, that's what's destroyed. that's not what's happened in the ukraine. there. the bakeries were still open in kiev internet. that's how world politicians from colo see. you folks are all able to visit jeff, isn't that unusual in a war? but russia is fighting us in a very different way, very much against than not c. fascists forces that have been organized right within the don. it's so we should see the differences in how the wars fought, the aims in it and, and the u. s. aims are, which are to completely use ukraine as upon in order to ensnare russia in a war that they want to have you. and since it's in trust and they are trying to reach a negotiated solution to end this war with the end of the nazi domination and firing w

u. s. central command as terrorists. the is really prime minister is fully behind keeping the guards on the american black las i welcome the decision by the u. s. administration to keep a rounds islamic revolutionary guard corps on the foreign terrorist organizations list, which is where it belongs. on the move could further complicate the process of restoring the iranian nuclear deal, which was already on hold after the u. s. withdrawal from the pack and 20 a thing with little progress made on it since then. we spoke to political unless side mohammed mirandi who's not optimistic about a revival of the nuclear agreement. we have to have a nuclear deal which is fully implemented and the nuclear deal is the j. c. p way that was signed in 2015 under obama, the united states constantly violated the deal. and under trump the united states toward the deal. so the bad actor was the united states and their allies, the american allies, of course, joined them. and the iranians were the only side that was implementing the deal. so this time arou

it used to be that superpowers like the united states had a really a real advantage in espionage, right? only the u. s. government really, and maybe the soviet union, could lot billion $1 satellites and have a massive capabilities in code making and cocaine. now anybody can gather that candidate. anyone can analyze that kind of data. ai capabilities are available on the internet. they don't require a degree in computer science. we have some light imagery that can all, if you have, if you have access to the internet, you have access to google earth. so they are, and events are live tweeted, right? so we can track things on twitter. so now we have to think about intelligence competitors today being much more spread out and. it's a much more crowded playing field for u.s. intelligence agencies. >> okay, so who are the competitors? >> well the main competitors are of course nation states but anybody can do this now so if we think about on the good guy side of things and we think about nuclear threats there are all sorts of people outside the u.s. government and that are tracking nuclear threats. and they'

so this is really what the crux of that conversation is likely to be what it takes place in person on thursday. now, what we also know is that the u. s. president is likely to underscore the importance of natives open door policy and the u. s. president support of that and really it is important to also underscore that this is something that is bipartisan . in other words, not only does the democratic president joe biden support this, but also i, his republican rival, the top republican in the u. s. senate. mitch mcconnell, who we should point out was in stockholm, sweden over the weekend and really underscored his support that the goal was to see both finland and sweden admitted to nato as soon as possible. so of course we have to remember that the reason for this is russia's invasion of ukraine. and the other thing that is likely to be discuss at this meeting of these 3 leaders when they sit down here at the white house on thursday, is really the, the focus of all of this that is supporting ukraine. a, in the midst of expanding nato membership. and the sticking point, as we mentioned, might be turkey. what's administration saying a

u. s. economy . and the road ahead is looking bumpy. we believe there's you, us, great recession of that is just now realizing, and it's going to get really. the pandemic slowed the u. s. economy in 20202021. after workers got sick in factories shut down. that lead to global shortages as short staffed cargo companies, left shipping containers behind on the dock. now the war in ukraine has sent fuel prices and the cost of shipping, sorry. just a demand for a broad range of consumer goods begins to fall. supply chain experts call that the bull whip effect. you have tons of inventory and, and not enough inventory, and you overreact, and you just keep going through this vicious cycle. and we're, we've seen that over the last couple of years, and i think we're now headed in the other direction. experts predict a recession among shippers within months in that could lead to a u. s. and possibly a global economic downturn in a really corner of northwest arkansas. many of those experts from trucking companies, leading universities, the pentagon and elsewhere, have gathered at a conference on the future of the supply chain in hopes of staving off t

so this, this demand is really means that the u. s. is stepping up its demands and its demands that are using sanctions and the further and further sanctions as a way of breaking all relations between the e. u and russia and using sanctions really as a wrecking ball and a globalized economy. very important. it happens as dabble says meeting who was a big proponent of globalization when it was in the u. s. interests. but now it is not all going that way in terms of the increased strength of russia, china, of many countries around the world. they're willing to just smash it and push forward in a war that ukraine is just a pawn in that war. and they, the u. s. is more than willing us corporations are more than willing to fight to the last ukranian. they take no toll when we're in lights of what you just said. what do you make of that rhetoric by the ukranian presidential advisor? do you think it's aimed at stirring the troops at home, the public, at home, or the wide world? well, the corporate media and the us acts as an echo chamber. they

u. s. government. so this was public interest journalism that julie and assigned was engaged with. and he really exposed to u. s. war crimes in iraq and afghanistan. c, i a spying on innocent citizens as well as torture. so this case is very serious and extradited. julian assigned to the united states is a blatant violation of human rights and will what many other journalists at risk in the future. so let's say a song, ge does get sent to the u. s. which is looking quite likely would you think will happen? well, every sunday is extradited to the united states. we know that his life will be at stake. not only to the lower court judge ruled that it would be oppressive under section 90. 1 of the u. k. extradition act of 2003 to extra date is not to the united states, but also the high court judges ruled that it would be oppressive to extradite juliana such. let me be clear to everyone listening right now. that if julian, his thoughts were to be expedited to the united states, he would not in any way shape or form, receive a fair trial. he would be tried in the eastern district court of virginia. th

so really the u. s. is ending the ear of the us dollar, which i think the long run is definitely going to hurt the united states. curry and even i don't rushing yeah. limits. it's very interesting point. as you see in a roundabout way, it could affect european citizens at that you americans trying to, to nudge them to agree more the european states with what washington is saying. but in terms of, as you see, that the mechanism being put out of the nuts and bolts of the financial system in the u. s. how it is russia that shield itself from, from the sanctions, from those punishments from the financial hit. and well, 1st of all, you know, just to, to, to make clear to our view, is that not paying your, your, do you coupons and bonds is not really a financial hardship. you know, it's like saying ok, russia can keep the money. so that actually does not heard russia very kill, it just is a very silly attempt to make russia look bad if on know that the us doing it. so i think even that is not going to work. th

u. s. actually did. it was a lost opportunity for china because china just kept on selling us back seeds rather than really competing with the philippines for that response and his why. the 30th stop with his anti u. s. rhetoric. and has actually started invoking the arbitrary ruling against china in this last 2 years of all throughout this discussion that we've been sorta touching on. this is very delicate choice that manila has to make between a washington in beijing and marcus junior, already described a money, was relationship with washington as food, very important. but at the same time, he also said what you said that he's country will have to walk a very, very fine line between china and the united states. and in, in your view, what would represent this optimal balance as far as the philippines are concerned. and i think it's, it's what every southeast asian country tries to do. and, and that is a rely on the united states for security and defense. well, at the same time, relying on china for economics and for trade. this, the coupling is precarious, meaning other southeast asian countries have fail
