u. s. is, is still operating under certain limits and, and constraints. and i think that there are hawkish elements in the, in the u. s. military establishment and foreign policy establishment. who want to use the war to actually attack russia itself. right. by rob. this news i've met is often a boy because he's on the father for moving back on the top of the hour more. ah, ah ah oh mm. mm. mm. hello and welcome to worlds apart, rushes massive. retaliation for ukraine's attacks on infrastructure has moved the one much closer to home for many of craniums, but is it persuasive or frankly frightening enough to change the character was not only in here but also in washington? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a daniel about adjunct professor of international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of moral prophetic of i think it's good to see you. thank you very much for being available. thank you for having me. now we are recording this conversation on monday afternoon, most good time when the full scope of the russian strikes implement. ukrainian in

u. s . think tank the council on foreign relations and out time to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. authorities in moscow have put a former state t. v. journalist on the wanted list of she reportedly escaped house arrest. marina of any cova gained international attention in march when she interrupted alive, news broadcasts, to protest against russia's one ukraine. she faces up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of spreading the kremlin coals, fate news about russia's armed forces. north korea has fight a ballistic ballistic missile over japan for the 1st time in 5 years. authorities in tokyo say the miss, i'll flew more than 4000 kilometers. before landing in the pacific ocean. the government activated its miss all alert system and ordered residence in northeastern regions to seek shelter. a delegation of west africa regional blog echo was, is due to arrive in burkina faso. today, the visit comes days off to the country's military leader was ousted in a qu.

and i think largely because the west wants it to escalate, in particular the u. s. and the u. k, um you know, i think the whole purpose from the western point of view for this war was to undermine russia to weaken russia in the way that the afghan war of 80 was intended to do the same to the soviet union. and it did actually have that in that, i mean, it succeeded to that extent. it's my perception that russia would be happy to end this thing now to do with those 4 republics that have voted to join russia, joining russia, crimea staying with russia, leaving the rest of the ukraine and ending it there. now, professor of all this war has been going on for several years, but i think over the last couple of weeks we've seen a notable moving of the gold post and something that used to be off limits, at least for the states i'm talking about with industrial sabotage and industrial terrorism seems to be pretty legitimate or at least normalized by the strikes on the russian gas infrastructure, as well as, according to russian intelligence, previously undisclosed to tax on a nuclear pla

u. s. i think intended to do, there was to make it impossible for the natural gas to flow again from russia to germany and just they are for make in exit auction for russia more unlikely. so what we see is the us trying to cut off all avenues of exit from this conflict. that's what i think you are seeing happening. even in the united states is behind the attacks on the, on the pipelines. it's still carry or maintains a certain degree of plausible deniability, but when it comes to the crimea bridge explosion, i think the, the ukrainians are actively celebrating it. i mean there are just the shores of calling a national holiday on that occasion. and i think what as an additional detail to this whole thing is that the explosion happened on monday and put in 70th birthday and was celebrated as a very dark present to him. i mean it's the ukrainians after all, who are bearing the brunt both in terms of casualties and in terms of the loss of infrastructure. why would they be so eager to, to go to well alo

u. s. think pain, do you think that that's just kind of adding another factor to the overall conversation here and really keeping these protest in the news? yes, of course. of course. look, this is all about regime change. this doesn't look so different from the regime change and 90 degree. the 1st ca regime change ever, which happened to be in iran against the democratically elected prime minister, mom and most dad. and they used very similar tactics being used today. so yeah, of course this is all about regime change and look again, i support women's rights. i'm not a fan of morality, police, but also i see a regime change you know, attempt when it's very player and that's what's happening. yeah, certainly a lot of daycare and will continue to follow this important issue. human and labor rights lawyer, dan co valley. thank you so much for your time. thank you, rachel. really appreciate it. it's been another bloody weekend in africa. 9 people, including the school children, were killed after ter

now what do you think is the u. s. motives to get involved in or wrong domestic affairs, especially when they're handing out these accusations about what they think that iran is doing on a global stage. well, we have to remember who nancy pelosi is. she is, i want a corrupt us politician who has enriched her spouse while in office. she is a millionaire many times over. thanks to the will you, alas, a military industrial complex. and she is a part of our government that for years has supported regime change in iran and is now supporting arm the opposition groups in order to overthrow the government in iran. she has been involved, she has a trouble maker wherever she goes. just a few weeks ago, she was in taiwan and almost sparked a war between the u. s. and china. so this woman, this woman is part and parcel of the u. s. war machine. and partly, and her personal goal is to try and cause as much trouble for the countries of the world to, to create instability in which the u. s. can intervene and militarily and political

so the suki, if i could start, would you, what's the, the thinking behind this decision by the u. s. in terms of putting the pressure on china. i think one should look at the historical perspective where the, the export controls have been used by the u. s. essentially dating back to the boardwalk. right. so you have export controls, mainly targeted of the former soviet union in the 1950s, sixties and seventies, which are mainly and stemming in the advances that the soviet union could make in the andreas numbers under way to really for obviously the geopolitical context has changed or in this era, and the primary us motive ish and you know, last friday the decision comfortable comes on top of many, many other this is she's taking the last 2 to 3 recognition by success. read the fish that we are now, you know, technological race and component of that of course, is an armstrong and primacy of you know, developing these advanced computing capabilities of which, you know, the semiconductors really are an evidence of these technologies who are able to moscow this will allow you to can log

think i, now the hope for the world is that the power of the u. s. declines enough that it stops being a threat to the world. i just think that's it. in that, in the multi poll world that's emerging as part of that solution. so that's it. i mean, that's, i think, in that sense, russia sees the conflict correctly in our way that, that the u. s. needs to be checked in a way that is not for long. well, i hope that check happens without that another world war. but before we go into that subject, let's leave it here and that would be more optimistic. thank you very much for your insights today. thank you. thank you for watching hope to sir again on, well to part with . mm. ah . is the aggression today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing. i figure which of list of course renewed as we speak. i'm assuming you mostly mind or wish you were banding all imports of russian oil and gas new g i g with the letter from, you know, we're but if you

u. s. think tank the council on foreign relations. i asked her what she expects putin to do next, following his illegal annexations and the mobilization of new troops. what we're putting has tried to do with these annexations attempted annexations. one has to say is to draw a wet line along these territories and to prevent exactly what is happening right now. the call ups of those 2. so he has different options that he can help us. you . one option is to send more and more washing man into the area and to try to stabilize it, which will be difficult. the other is to escalate further with the text on ukrainian civilian infrastructure with the text on weston, for instance, energy infrastructure. to make clear that his read that those attempted and next territories belong to russia has indeed not been a bluff. as he said in his speech, in germany is a foreign minister said today that we should take rushes nuclear threats seriously . how serious do you think they are? we should take those right seriously. they are part of the options that

i think the u. s. i think it's more the brits in the polls than it is. the u. s. is probably a mixture of all of them with the u. s. having plausible deniability or at least factions within the u. s. having plausible deniability where we're behind all this stuff and like to me it's very clear that they want the war. they want to an a wider war, but they're not sure on what terms they want that wider war. they just want to be able to get to eat and the russians to overreact to whatever provocation, you know, they keep punching the rushes in the face, and they keep hoping that the russians as they are i us enough. and we're just an interview which then gives us the though the west gives them the moral high ground to say ok. now assigned to take a rush. well, it by tom that, that, that works under the assumption that, you know, i've been playing with this. who's got the time and he's got the clocks. oh and, and again, they keep showing that the russians have both jeremy, i mean, it's really quite remarkable. yeah. okay. maybe the brit and maybe the poles. of course t

and i think largely because the west wants it to escalate, in particular the u. s. and the u. k, ah, you know, i think the whole purpose from the western point of view for this war was to undermine russia to weaken russia in the way that the afghan war of 80 was intended to do the same to the soviet union. and it did act. she had that in that, i mean, it succeeded to that extent. it's my perception that russia would be happy to end this thing now to do with those 4 republics that have voted to join russia, joining russia, crimea staying with russia, leaving the rusty ukraine and ending it. they are now professor of all this war has been going on for several years. but i think over the last couple of weeks we've seen a notable moving of the gold post and something that used to be off limits, at least for the state. i'm talking about industrial sabotage and industrial terrorism. seems to be pretty legitimate or at least normalized by the strikes on the russian gas infrastructure, as well as, according to russian intelligence. previously undisclosed to tax on a nuclear plant power

now, why do you think the u. s. has now backtrack on jo biden's comments? thank you for having the i think the reason for this irresponsible mom is primarily the upcoming election to be held on november and you are, we're invited was more giving up on the statement, but it will be can name events in which it's team that you want it to be the lobby. you have an interest in the bucket. so it could be seated that context of the mystic politics because you can instantly or profit from different position that you will state about the big. and you're also bit bucket has been responsible and immaculate speed. you can be listed as the leader of the governor's international agency so that the, the international community id really respect and admire your dent shield also will be a box number on your security. so that these things, i think it is very important that this remark domestic water and station experience to get some more money from those faction invested in. ready in the right, and timing is certainly everything. now, why do you think that we're seeing an ap

time and i don't think that's really something that will depend on, on nature, the u. s. i think he is slightly, i think was probably more the place that he's running out of options. and i think that's a much more difficult one because he hasn't really left him so much space to turn around to back out, especially since he did kind of partial mobilization. so i think he has time and i think he has options. when you talk about options, i mean, what would those options be right now? right now there's the obvious option of flow, no obvious. and the other horrific option, the everybody is discussing, which is the nuclear auction, which i think is very, very unlikely. but of course, must must mean on everybody's laid off with self explanatory reasons on the other options. and would of course be that he somehow backs down or turns around or starts pissing out feelers to negotiations. however, i think his break reality is such that it's very difficult. it's very difficult for him to come up with anything that would be acceptable and there's no way that he's prepared the russian pe

what is the thinking behind the decision that the u . s. is made to place the sweeping controls on sales of semiconductors on basing. i think the main concern from the us side is actually technology and containing china and it's upgrading of the major industry us me, that's the key. of course, there's no such thing as military industry only and, and need to technology will be hit, which also means that china will have a hard time in moving up the ladder, whether it's artificial intelligence, quantum computing. so basically the tech will be severely affected. this technological decoupling between the us and china it's been going on for some time now, hasn't it? i mean, because of that, we know that the chinese government has invested heavily in its own chip industry in life if that how much are these controlled? actually a blow on china so far, right before this and new ban on on simic on breakfast, i would say that the impact has been limited. we had seen some impact ways, a very good sample. it basically didn't manage to develop it, sign th

u. s. plan was to get them into some kind of afghanistan occupation, but i don't think russia really wants to occupy those parts of the bitterly anti russian parts of ukraine to begin with. so it's the u. s. seems to be just a string with a long, maybe hoping for some kind of gambit or miracle that will reverse their fortunes. but it's hard to see what the strategy even is at this point. and the you can't seem to be be being led to the slaughter really? yeah, scott, you know, it's been mentioned before and in the many, many programs i've done this since the complex started, but it's very interesting how, particularly the americans, maybe the british when they, when they analyze russians, military efforts in ukraine, they see it through the prism of shock and awe they, they can't seem to comprehend what the russians are doing. the russians are bogged down. they have no ammo. they have no morale, but they feed through the vice and maybe like, you know, and the, the 2003 war against iraq go ahead. i mean, it is, this is a huge problem in the west because we don't have an appropriate metric to

u. s. government and the u. s. military anymore. i think it's a dangerous rhetoric. this is exactly in this scenario that alex trace is suggesting that would lead to the escalation. if the u. s. x will be conventional forces russian fleet as he suggest and other major competitive forces in ukraine and possibly even a russian territory. this is a direct way to get roster response and if not in the media nuclear response by the civility of escalating to a new, where is this something that is actually putting is channeling to his signals? is that not to have that direct engagement? and that is one of the scenarios in the russian nuclear doctrine we're a prescribe. there is a large scale conventional attack when it would, which threatens their russian state and survival. then the nuclear response would be imminent. and we don't want to gamble in that. so in this case, i think that this is not something that should be discussed and what proposed, obviously there would be has and individuals who propose it, but i think it's reckless and responsible. at this, the german fore

u. s. i think general responded to a request from the government for a peacekeeping mission to be deployed in the country. theaters demanded that the government resign claim it has no legitimacy to ask the international intervention . the editor of haines, he did a bag take him eyes told us why locals are also to the you and intervention in the country. us has been using the united nations as a proxy force since the korean war shortly after the new end was formed. but it really came to full fruition with the 2 interventions that the u. s. made into haiti in 1991 in 2004. where with us, assisted by canadian and french troops that went into haiti and then passed it off to the u. n for 2 reasons, because they like the look of an international force but to pakistani and jordanians and other 3rd world people that mostly populate those forces worked for half the cost of a us soldier. so it was also a cost savings for the maintenance of their empire. now it was after the nigerian calling for his cultural

u. s. at some point. i think the chinese economy will face a lot of hurdles the head, but the economy that they can on motto itself is transitioning. we have heard in districts, fish recently that the chinese economy is comprehensively a, moving into a different path off development to the past of for decades. and as far as how that economic model is going to work out, that really it's a big test at the world is bearing witness to. so we are looking at the state sector becoming more dominant and the, permeating through every sector off the chinese economy. and we are looking into the future that china is going to focus on a lot of self reliance and including not only supply chain technology, but also china's major push should become a global leader in exporting technology to the developing world. and so we're looking at the various moving parts, but the fundamentally we're looking at the sub you cannot make philosophy that is embraced on by the car, into chinese leader. if it is going to take china to where he wi

to begin with, i would say that i, i think the u. s. is starting to recalibrate it's thinking on africa, which is a good thing. and in fact, in august the year, a new strategy towards sub saharan africa was published by the biden administration . that and visions and new partnership between the united states and african countries. and that is a very good start, of course that there is the u. s. african liter summit, which is coming up in december this year, which is a follow on to the 1st summit that was done in 2014. also during the time of barack obama. all of those are good, but they're not enough more needs to be done. so what is that more that needs to be done? and if we take the example or take a cue from what china turkey and others are doing so well, i think the 1st thing is really that mindset shift that this is a continental opportunities. you talk to whether it's chinese entrepreneurs or even some governmental officials, they would tell you to us, we see many parts of africa as what china is to be 20 years ago. like we see the

u. s. recognizance plane in the area. do you think that indicates involvement by the u. s. or was it just a regular, a possibly regular recognizance mission? just in the area. i sick, i mean, i cannot exclude any thing nowadays we can not exclude anything. i mean, you have moscow has information that the british sewer involved in this attack are right. if the british were involved in this attack, i presume that that, that the us would also be involved or as nato, but nato's getting more and more aggressive against russia into ukraine in this affair. and this leads us to the possibility of a nuclear confrontation and also going back to $962.00. we have to remind you of the of the destroyer u. s. destroyer that was sending that was sending a signal grenades through a soviet sub that the had a nuclear torpedo. the captain was in of the soviet some panic and was ready to suit the nuclear torpedo to the, to the aircraft carrier to use aircraft carrier. but fortunately, the chief of staff called him down, i think i remember, i think i remember that story. leonardo is extremely te

u. s. impulse a u. s. consumer. i do think this is really critical illness and still place it's a stature at global financial conditions to some extent, at least good, happy weather, sometimes in the costumes. mccann. thank you very much indeed. and keep indian movie revenues have risen every year for a decade, reaching around $2000000000.20. before the pandemic started. but most recent releases have bombed at the box office. i'm bollywood domination of the indian film industry. appears to be uncertain. producers are taking a novel approach to attract people back to the cinema as poverty, metallic reports from new delhi moviegoers are in for a treat. it's national cinema dane, india, ticket prices have been slashed to less than a dollar. many shows or so it out. but really i got this a good read and then giving hopkins and betsy puppy. so it's really nice that i don't have to put them on the way that i'd like to spend so much amount of money to actually go answered in here. does the water in the cinema often called bollywood i

u. s. are thinking about a resolution. what is not clear is which countries would supply any trips for this force. i'm told by diplomats from a number of countries that canada and the u. s. up probably receptive, but when you officially approach the canadians of the us, they say nothing on this matter. and in fact, i just tried to ask a question about whether us troops were going to haiti to the us ambassador linda thomas greenfield. and she said, absolutely nothing and ignore my question as she walked into the security council. but i think one thing will be very sobering for the security council, and that's what's happening as they are meeting right now in new york was happening on the street support a prince because in the haitian capital, they're all protest taking place right now. angry protests that in places have been dispersed by tear gas. now the protest as that are saying, they do not want international forces back in haiti. in fact, a one point the protest is, had a coffin that they were carrying, and it may clear

u. s. i think from some, some colleagues who said that of content have, with personally taking command of all me, that he was actually issuing orders in south trying to sort of, kind of in bagel himself into the day to day operations. so at some point it's going to come back to bite to, i mean, so far, most of the criticism has been directed at his military chiefs, but i think that's getting harder and harder to keep the lid on, especially as we see this constant retreat. katherine belt, an investigative journalist and writer, pleasure speaking to you tonight. thank you so much. ukraine says it will begin limiting electricity supplies as russia continues. it's assault on the countries, the energy infrastructure residents are being told to limit their electricity use from 7 am to 11 pm or face temporary blackouts, or corresponding funding for shar went to the town of o crying car, 50 kilometers from cave. the town lost power due to a russian strike last week, and is now facing more of the same. glad

u. s. wants to divide russia and europe. i think it's the 2nd step of american interrogation to europe, asia, the 1st step was just a few days ago. i talk to a pipeline in order to tim pipeline and baltic c. and i think this statement from the diet sites is the 2nd step of american intervention to our region. i mean, they are trying to, is a late, a russia not from just the european sites, but also from the turkey side because is, you know, toki and russia has really good relation. starts with a letter from the us treasury department to the turkish business men association. that they train them to do, do not cooperate with russia. and just off this american side, they trade also turkish bunks. that's why you know, some of the bunks stop using new carts system. and the main target was to cut the relation between euro and russia. but still, i think that the russia and the europe ha relation, i mean, today the relation and the different kinds of relation thought. that's why know they are targeting openly the energy energy pipeline to p

u. s. i think from some, some colleagues who said that who tim had with personally taking command of the all me that he was actually issuing orders himself trying to sort of, kind of in bagel himself into the day to day operations. so at some point, it's going to come back to bite to, i mean thanks on most of the criticism has been directed at his military chief, but i think that's getting harder and harder to keep the lid on, especially as we see this constant retreat. catherine belltime, investigative journalist and writer, let her speaking to you tonight. thank you so much. so what would it take to end russia? the war in ukraine, the w sarah kelly and the host of conflict. don't put that question to nato secretary general. yes. stilton burke couldn't go for there to be a resolution in ukraine? yes or no? again, i will not. you will force me to, to a given the yes or no answer to that. what we will do is that we will respond to the actions of russia, regardless of who's in charge there. and we wi
