u. s, than the u. s. itself has a much harsher law. and you've had the european union cracking down on, you know, any sort of foreign funding and basically labeled or new organizations, russian agents based on no due process whatsoever. and yet, you know, obviously what's good for that particular goose is not good for the georgia gander because when the georgia government says okay, way, maybe you know, all of these so called non governmental organizations that are essentially entirely funded by your tourist or other, you know, us government or norwegian government or the you or whatever. so any sort of number of cut out, maybe they should be accountable. maybe they should be transparent. you can just, you know, create all of these proposals and initiatives back for foreign money and then the claim to be a georgia democrats. well, that's clearly unacceptable to the west. so it really tells you everything about the values that the people can play the profess. now, when it comes to the, the situation ukraine, georgia has really tried to

u. s. than, than any time in recent, at times when we heard just yesterday, national security minister of israel, banga, you're saying the country is not quote, another star on the u. s. at flag talking about protests that perhaps the u. s. were in, involved in. how do you think relations lie right now? well right now because there's an extreme right wing groping ah, netanyahu and to his he's in a block, he's in a coalition with extreme right wing zionist forces. so it's not popular. it's not how allocate to here in the u. s. or in israel. so there's an effort to create some distance. will it mean a fundamental change? i don't think so. the u. s. remains committed to israel as their unsinkable aircraft carrier in the region. that's how they've always viewed it, and that is what it continues to be. while they may wring their hands and express how pain they are. and all of that, that is just the window dressing. now the letter is important because it exposes on just how brutal the repression is an

u. s. than year 90 reads by the israeli army, continue in the occupied with bank. as does the protest movement against the proposed judicial changes. the government caused the protesters, anarchists, and say they are anti democratic. but each week the protest movement gets bigger. it's been 10 weeks since the began and the prime minister is under pressure to come up with a compromise. but despite the stroma position, natalia says the bill will become little malibu mud zipper. i'll just sarah. meanwhile, in the occupied westbank, that's been escalating violence in the past few days. israeli forces killed 3 palestinians in java, south of janine early on thursday. they were traveling in a car that witness to say was targeted by cyprus on rooftops. israel says the palestinians were fighters carrying weapons and explosives. either abraham is that the java refugee camp in southern journey. we knew graves were dug up here in jabar after 3 palestinians were shots and killed by israeli forces earlier today, just next to them. our graves of 2 other palestinians who had kille

u. s. to ukraine. since the conflict corrupted last year, the u. s. a sent to ukraine more than $46000000000.00 and military aid. some u. s. military expert have pointed out that the country may actually be saving on storage and potential dismantlement caused by sunday. but whenever reach you claim some of those estimates have amounted to half of the original cost of the equipment . that would mean that the u. f is not only fueling heaves military efforts against russia, but also potentially saving money. former pentagon officials, michael maloof, says this schema than they will, the u. s. and his allies, to save billions of dollars. the cost of demilitarize, a lot of that equipment is about half again of what the cost, original cost of the equipment was. you're talking potentially billions. yeah. that would save billions especially even i'll goes to ukraine. that saves a lot in terms of having to replenish or, or in terms of demilitarize. so i think that this will be, this is something to look forward to, but it's going to take a while to back up the what, what has been sent wi

than yours. did it only obvious one of the main beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding is actually private contractors. there are estimates that over the past year, independent recipients got more than half of washington national security budget. the u. s. inspector general. all our fans are, has warned that this could signal corruption between the government and the military industrial complex. you're bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the hose government, but also of u. s. government contractors or other 3rd party contractors to try to steal the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn our lesson. i've been in washington since 90 to 2 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately. now let's take a look at how the costs for ukraine's war effort compare with those of other major conflicts waged by washington sweating on medicaid to keep have i actually support the annual us funding of his previous war in afghanistan

more than 8300 people have been killed by gun violence this year in the u. s. more than half of those have been by suicide. biden's order will direct the attorney general to clamp down on vendors who failed to carry out proper checks. and to clarify who qualifies as a dealer to day, i'm announcing others your keyboard no accelerate, intensify this work to shade more lives more quickly. first was executive order helps keep firearms out of dangerous hands. as i continue to call on congress to require background checks for all firearms sale, i need a drink my attorney general day every lawful action possible, possible to move us as close as we can to universal background checks without legislation. so that's get minus now from john hendern, his in monterey park in california. so the, this executive order would expand the background checks, but tell us why the president chose to make this announcement that well, the president spoke to community that is still mourning from a mass shooting here at this dance hall just 2 months ago that killed 11 people and he offered

u. s. rather than that, the, or the japanese will be of the bomb. and unfortunately, where to use it in the regime. and i guess i could when or will to. but if to they, there will be a conflict among major powers that are all armed with nuclear weapons that and that conventional war with easily and very fast scully into unconventional. and you could have a nuclear winter that good to wipe out a good chunk of humanity. so by some standards, the current a geopolitical depression is more dangerous in at least for t dimensions than even the ugliest time we had with in 1914, in 1945. so what you're talking about is a trap that were in that even proactive positive steps can open the way for other problems. and i'd love you to share with my am i reading that right? and, and how hard is it to escape? and that trap to deal with that. so that is bleak future and we have any chance of escaping this bleak future that you write about you're right, but i point out in a chapter that it may be solutions to each one of these threads. but that as a column is no, ther

u. s. economy than many think. at this point, what you have is a mixture of fear and panic, panic for those who have no long histories of knowing that the government always assures us in the middle, middle of the crisis, that all will be well. and a many times that turns out to be bad advice, dangerous to follow if you are someone involved in finance and for the rest of us, we're waiting to see whether the proverbial other shoe will fall. how far this will spread, how deep the roots are. is this a problem of a few banks? is this the problem of the entire financial and banking sector? we don't know, but i can assure you of at least 2 or 3 things. number one, the most dynamic sector of the u. s. economy is high technology, and that is the sector most damaged by the lay offs of the last 6 months, over half a 1000000. and now this collapse in their credit and banking system, it's going to be very hard for startups to get the kind of financing they have become used to. and that's going to be very bad for the larger amer

than that. here instead of the other only obvious. so would you be surprised to learn that one of the main dependent beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding is actually that of private contractors or estimates that over the past year, independent recipients got more than half of washington's entire national security budget. and the u. s. inspected journal, enough ganeth on has warned that this could signal corruption between the government and what that's right between the government and the military. industrial complex you are bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the whole government, but also of us government contractures or other 3rd party contractors to try to steal the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson. i've been in washington since 92 and learning lessons is not in our d n a in the united states. unfortunately, you might find this interesting, let's take a look at how the costs for ukraine's war effort compared with those of other major conflicts, way to buy washington. for example, spending o

u. s. spent more than $4000000000.00 on miss out development last year, despite is the lack of success. u. s. president joe biden has even admitted that russia's kindle missiles, are him possible to stop the just the monster her hypersonic missile, because it's the only thing that thing get through with absolute certainty. it's you all know it's consequential weapon and about with the same morehead on it as a, as any other launch miss, or it doesn't make that much difference, except it's almost impossible to stop it from a plan to call security policy. alice michael moo says the recent fame they will only for the delay the u. s. hypertonic miss all program. the failure will have an impact. it will delay any deployment. the ability to deal with the hypersonic that's maneuverable up to mark 20 is going to be quite a challenge. especially since the united states. i can even get its own hypersonic program launched successfully. right now. any, all, any, and all a missile defense systems in the world are incapable of successfully going after these hypersonic missiles, which china and, and rus

he said that his country actually has more democracy than the u. s. i m as in, what can i say? may he go? there is more democracy in mexico than in the u. s. k. they still have not abandoned the 2 century old policy of the monro dock trails, behaving like the government of the world to me. mexico's president initiated the electoral reforms which have been approved by the national parliament. he believes that funding privacy allocated for electoral authorities would be better spent elsewhere, especially for providing more assistance, say impoverished people, but the you are so said the measures could potentially jeopardize democratic procedures. this is just that a says, a long list of issues that have harmed relations between the u. s. on it. so the neighbor, mexico, immigration policies and drug trafficking have been points of contention. and the mexican person even boycotted the summit of the americas hosted by the u. s. last year. the snub was reportedly because the us deliberately did not invite the leaders of tuber nicaragua and venezuela. we heard from a latin american pro

, than the u. s. and that's why it's been able to just go in and turn those countries to rubble as it did in, in iraq and didn't have ghana stat as it partly did in syria. but of course, and what that, what the u. s. is learning now, is that going to war, going to war with and a natural military superpower, such as russia and even more so such as china is a completely different fan. so i think a lot of military strategists would say that u. s. has no chance of winning an actual shooting war in the pacific with, with china, any honest military strategy as well. we'll, we'll say that, you know, the, the china has been preparing for a defensive war for a very long time. and i think it's highly unlikely the u. s. would, would be able to come out victorious in such and such a scenario. and so the question is, what, what are they do? what are they trying to do? what they hope to achieve? this is an incredibly dangerous situation because of course, as we have seen in ukraine, it's very, you know, once, once

ah ah, this is the w is coming to you live from berlin, sold for more than $3000000000.00 swiss bank u. b. s. requires it's rival credit suisse in a deal backed by the country. central bank is designed to avert a potential banking crisis, but the stock market suggests more uncertainty ahead. also coming up the e. u in turkey, rally financial support from the international community. they're looking to kickstart a 1000000000. uh huh. $100000000000.00 relief and recovery operation after devastating earthquakes and in buddhist think of football. labor cruising deal by munich. their 3rd loss of the season, knocking them out 1st, please. ah hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. switzerland's biggest bank you be us has reached a deal to take over some baffled rival credit suisse, for 3000000000 swiss franc. that's just over 3000000000 euros. the take over comes amid fears that an ongoing banking crisis. could these stabilize the global financial system so which one is preparing emergency measures to fast track? the takeover and b will receive liquidity assistance from the states. the

u. s. senate committee schoultz at his company had a right to push back against the efforts that it had not broken labor lost or punished employees involved in those efforts. some 300 of starbucks more than 15000 stores in the u. s. have so far voted to unionize. all right, that's our show. you can find out more about these and other business stories online. check us out at t w dot com slash business. we're also on youtube, under the deed of news channel. you can find us on facebook as well. for me in the business team here, berlin likes watching conflicts with tim sebastian as the fighting grind zone in ukraine. spare a thought for some of the countries on the edge of the was how stable of a these days. that's moldova foreign minister, nico profess group, is government struggling to come back hybrid attacks from russia. and that support is just how long this pro west to the state, even hope to survive with on d w. the king to faces. he was once celebrated as a beacon of hope and a reformer. now more than 20 years later, many people par disappointed mohammed, the 6 does he still wanted just and modern future for his country. and just how democratic is the king of the poor, really? in 45

u. s. media more than once. i'm here for 5 minutes and then i'm told the 1st 5 people they found it was 5 decapitated heads. they were all civilians. who does this to people? please don't do this, maybe isis does this. and what do you do with cook with groups like isis? one. how was ukraine different you can't say that there was out. there wasn't walk right. don't. yes is on fire. can be hit anywhere at any time. oh, there's no british mainstream journalist here in russian held on bass. if any journalist being here and on bass this side of the conflict, there's a few stories that you just have to cover. one of them being the fact that you cranium has been shelling a dumbass civilians for 8 years and continues to do so. now, the other one being the majority of people in dumbass supports what the russians are doing here, and one to the other independent parts of russia. and that point of view is simply not being explained to the british people. what the british people, a hearing is that russia's evil ukraine, the

u. s. spent more money than ever. so fight climate change comment prompted elan musk to reply reminding americas leader banks are melting at home. well, meanwhile, some traditional u. s. allies, australia, for example, are starting to question washington's global role. for example, i'll tell you the australians and a jordan steel, john, he's actually accused the united states of persistently using armed conflicts to advance its own national interest. they begin a conflict in their national interest and they ended in their national, in france, the people of vietnam, the paypal of iraq, the people of afghanistan, know that america is a very bad house guest. or this comes as countries around the world are not participating in western sanctions against russia. and over a 100 countries though, have condemned the ukrainian conflict. according to recent research, the amount e equals 85 percent of the wills population that are not behind the western sanctions. as a correspondence, steve sweeney. now reports. the us clearly vie

u. s. left more than a 1000000 people without power. the same storm system dumped heavy snow across parts of california. even some people trapped in their homes, california's governor declared a state of emergency and 13 counties. many of those affected and now bracing for another round of snow and rain. if you normally of this event is hard to comprehend . you know, we're thinking we're in southern california, but yet we have had an inundation that has really, really generated a severe amount of anxiety, frustration, or difficulty, especially to the victims of those who are actually trapped in their own home. ah, secrete look at the main stories, the sound worried parents have been protesting in iran's capital after another wave of mystery poisonings. but hundreds more school girls in hospital. none of the victims are said to be a serious condition, but hundreds of cases of her spirit re issues in school girls have been reported of the past 3 months with at least 10 schools targeted last wednesday. president abraham raised the as by th

u. s. media more than once. i'm here for 5 minutes and then i'm told the 1st 5 people they found it was 5 decapitated heads. they were all civilians who both this the people. armies don't do this, maybe i should do this. what do you do with, with groups like isis? one? how is ukraine different? you can't see that there isn't. there wasn't walk right. done yet. because on fire, it can be hit anywhere at any time. oh, there's no british mainstream journalists here in russian held on bass. if any journalist being here and on bass this side of the conflict, there's a few stories that you just have to cover. one of them being the fact that you, crean army has been shelling a dumbass civilians for 8 years and continues to do so. now, the other one being the majority of people in dumbass supports what the russians are doing here, and one to the other independent parts of russia. and that point of view is simply not being explained to the british people. what the british people, a hearing is that russia's evil ukraine,

u. s. would win this war, that there was more more stabilization where the u. s. was concerned than there actually was. so were you surprised by anything that you heard in this testimony? i mean, we know that the withdrawal was chaotic, but how much more powerful does it make it when it comes from someone who was there experiencing it themselves? well, it is, it's a powerful reminder. it also points out to me that the military leadership itself, it, you know, we like to blame the politics that the little, the politicians you make these decisions. but it appears to me that even the military side wasn't performing as well as it should. and i think in part, many military officers, career people looked at afghanistan as a way to punch their ticket. and you know, we need to do a tour and afghanistan before we go on to the pentagon or some other higher up, you know, assignment. and you know, it just, you know, there used afghanistan in many ways just to get promoted rather than some sort of comprehensive strategy that the pentagon might have put forward to end the occupation of afghanista

than the cfo of the lehman brothers. you know, the largest bankruptcy falling in u. s. history, which has thought to have played a major role in the global financial crisis of 2008. yep. that one. so how did it get to this? well as the be didn't even have a chief risk officer for almost a year. and when they finally replaced the old one, this january, the new one seemed more preoccupied in promoting every liberal calls out there, rather than focusing on the train right ahead. should our water kura clear how severe the fall out? we'll beat. turns out the majority of us to be deposits weren't even insured, which takes things to a whole other level. everyone is now on guard, hoping and likely praying that governments intervene and save them and themselves for that matter. because we all know by now how one banks collapse could lead. so world wide economic rec. so let's just hope that whoever is there in the solution here is not a crash test dummy read in co c, executive director. so 1st source, money was the asked to be, be financial collapse, will affect not only the us,

u . s. or simply to avoid upsetting an ally because clearly in light of the russian invasion of ukraine, germany is more aware than it has been for some time that the u. s. can provide military protection, but how credible is germany's commitment to human rights if it applies different standards to different countries? the u. s. has been waging war on terra for more than 20 years, primarily with drones. even if president joe biden has scaled down the drone war, he still threatened strikes any time anywhere where it was cold over the horizon capabilities. which means we can strike chairs to targets without american boots on the ground. it's an ongoing war and one that most people are barely aware of. but germany, a country committed to upholding human rights is involved. ah, everything just felt different. my mind felt like peter scrambled and every time on to to wake up. or no, it was just so difficult. the 77 percent depression, anxiety as well as other mental health issues are under rise in africa. we'll talk about that. i feel is 77 percent in 30 minutes on d. w. research for a better climate involves a stinky

than that. here instead of the other only obvious now, one of the main beneficiaries of the u. s. defense funding is actually private contractors. there are estimates the over the past year independent recipients, but more than fall off of washington's national security budget. the u. s. inspector general on afghanistan has warned that this could signal corruption between the government and the mid industrial complex. you're bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the host government, but also us government contract is or other 3rd party contract is to try to steal the money is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track of. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson of been in washington since 1982 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately, smiling on mercy, a team has actually support the us annual funding of its previous wars in afghanistan and the nom, now last year the u. s. is estimated, but 50 percent more money than they did annually in vietnam. both the vietnam i'm afghanistan was ending in

u. k. and italy mocking japan's 1st major military development with a partner other than the u. s. since world war 2 and less say security considerations in the region are changing, driven by 2 main factors, prompting countries to rethink the defense strategies. first, the main challenge is, seems to me as north korea is continually testing a ballistic missiles and violating un sanctions. because that's an unstable situation at any time. second is really the great power rivalry. the intensification note, i call an action reaction o engagements between china and the united states militarily. asia pacific is where the economic and military rivalry between the u. s. and china is being played out. the u. s. has been challenging. china's expansive and increasingly assertive claims in the south china sea, with what it calls, freedom of navigation operations. china's military and political pressure on tie one to accept chinese sovereignty has also increased tensions in the region. we now back to the normal of modern history, where the world is to warm up into competing great powers and co
