u. s. think tank the asian society policy institute. i asked her how blinker and can expect to be received in china again. um, we'll have a standard diplomatic. welcome, a cordial welcome. but certainly there are a lot of issues to address of the us china relationship that will require some very candid and uncomfortable conversations. and i think secretary blinking is as well toys to continue those conversations. let's talk a little bit more about that ukraine issue, which as you've said, will be, will be high on the agenda last week. and blinking suggested that beijing is essentially playing a double game here. one thing, good relations with europe while also supporting russia is his assessments. a fair one? do you think? or actually i think the chinese economic and strategic priorities lend themselves to these types of policy contradictions. on one hand, china does need the european market as an export for the export market for its goods. on the other hand, it has an equally to itself important economic relationship with russia, which

u. s. do you think if the western powers had been that strong? when is well attacked, a diplomatic mission, a wrong diplomatic mission in syria? the all of this could have been avoided because a wrong would have seen that the west was playing fi. well, that is part of that. um, but i do believe that they could have stopped the console that attack altogether. at least the united states definitely cut off and there were free, separate attacks on iranians inside of syria. it's a violation of the syrian sovereignty, a violation of the ronnie. and so pretty, in this case, at a direct attack on iranian soil. this is a major international incident, and this breaks full norms in international politics. and so the fact that they didn't condemn it. the fact that this was brought before the united nations security council and the united states made sure that nothing came of that. it was inevitably going to lead to the a ronnie and response. they literally had no other option. they had to teach israel a lesson after this to try and prevent this sort of thing

i think that the u. s. allies and other was done and as for example, germany should increase the pressure on the war club in that cabinet on the 10 young by for example, withholding weapons of war at the moment to is what you until further notice. and i'm not talking about air defense systems that obviously is what it needs to defend itself against iranian aggression. i'm talking about, for example, of munitions that would be used in java in award that according to you and bodies, human rights organization, international law experts does not comply with the rules of the international humanitarians. all. so i think at this point to avoid a sort of an offensive in gaza, a u. s. and for example, the german government should make their support somehow conditional. it has worked out concerning the human a check in 8, it is being brought in, all adult loan to escape. and it should, it should be used this kind of question, this condition, the lising off support for these really, goldman should be used as well. no

u. s. a. i think what secretary genet and has a said recently, 1st of all, i have to admit that this visit of secretary yet and to the china is quite important because this is already the 2nd a in within the metro alpha. uh, 6 months of visit. but i think was all the remarks accusing china about supporting russia, accusing china's over production capacity and everything. i think she, she basically was talking to the people backing her own country because let's face it when she goes back, she needs to, to face the whole piece of people. uh, those whole piece politicians. so people have different positions and the phones actually. so, but i believe the trip of secretary get them to try and at this time has been quite successful in general. uh, as you've already said, this is the yellow in the 2nd trip to beijing in a matter of months. so the us is making is to feelings very clear. is there anything paging can do to push back such pressure from the us as well? it's, it's not about pushing back. in my opi

you know, it was also in february this year that the u, as in post sanctions against the russian suppliers. why do you think the u. s. is gradually imposing sanctions on countries that supply oil to india. disney that's deliberate. that smart sanctions begin stating the sanctions on the exporting countries like vanilla it on and russia. of course, it's politically, it's also businesses because to be the largest producer of it in the united states . so by suppressing the oil exports of these countries, they are giving a chance. but the american, all your companies to make money simple. all right, we're gonna leave it there. run garage of this one off and former indian and bassett, or to venezuela investor. thank you for your time. don't show host from the us and you funded ukrainian stump fake organization with reported ties to nazi activist has been arrested in washington after he has sold to the gray zone contributor at an event hosted by the conservative james town foundation. our correspondence, steve sweeney has the story. the police in the us have a rest of the during this with links to fall. and while you crea

one is i think that we help to open up this course about the lobby before we wrote the article and then the book, not many people talked about the lobby explicitly. lobby's influence on u. s. foreign policy and i think in terms of the, this course, we had a significant influence in terms of actual policy. i think we've had little influence at all. i think that the lobby remains as powerful as ever, and american foreign policy towards israel and towards the greater middle east remains greatly in fluids by the lobby. i mean, one could argue you're being too hard on yourself, but you're selling yourself a little bit short to the extent that there is at least resistance now. and that resistance does matter. i mean, there's a campaign against the lobby group, a pack, the american israel public affairs committee, and how they influence us politics. specifically the targeting of progressive democrats, according to one pole, uh 62 percent of respondents who voted for president biden in 2020. agree that quote, the us should stop weapons shipments to israel until israel discontinues. it's a tax on the people of guys and now present it by and certainly continues to provide military

u. s. interests. so i think if indeed the washington claims that it's anywhere between $400.00 to what? $500.00 thrones, we know that the admin is also striking. at the same time, i expect the who's what was going to be striking any time soon, just before the 1st wave of these come come because it was arrived to as well. i think that should be a convincing message that the one is no longer afraid of the consequences of israel's actions. well, you, i mean you, you mention convincing message and i just wanted to mention, let me look, it was a couple of hours ago that in yahoo said if iran strikes us, we will retaliate. and now to iran is saying, if he is real retaliates, we will retaliate against their retaliation. i mean, over time z. what comes next door is looking like one escalation officer and the other. does it quickly? just cartoon. imagine the psychology of all of this. nobody hits as well. the only part is the kids as well or non state act. so is that 2nd still because the only exception to that was the d

so i think europe the u. s. has already reacting jeff and how as we exercised career reactive, i think there is no choice for the your pains also to react on this. i don't know which is the would be, would be the right the measurements, but it cannot do as a just let, let that it has as useful because otherwise, a lot of you'll see companies would get bankrupt to because of these offered capacity from china. the us seems to be leading the way when it comes to reacting to that of entity. and however, the us economy is very far better than the chinese economy. so why this obsession? it seems to keep china base it, is it doing much better? but of course, there was over the summer, a hot trade full in 2018 when donald trump was president. and a, you know, the is the danger that the trump will win again and see over it. he says he will. he will shopping thomas again and he will sort of turn up the heat on china. i think it's a lot about who else who said, who is the biggest problem in the world, so it's not only the e

think does that. we have from the u. s. green party, co chat and longer. i think it really highlights the hypocrisy that the democratic party and indeed the republican party as well in body. they will tell us that they want peace for everyone and then fund genocide.

i don't think that countries like the u. s. u k. israel. well, any country, despite being and fonts can help us in any field. i think that if those countries into the country, they will do nothing but loot, ocelot mazda. i taught to see as how we are not afraid of israel's attack tools. and these riley's notes in a position to respond to iran. i mean, this matter, we must consider that these row has always being defeated by muslims, only of all, of course, a number of worth, the latest, very quick to condemn the iranian strikes evidence. this was a dangerous and unnecessary escalation which was condemned in the strongest terms. i come down in the strongest terms, the unprecedented attack lawrence to bite you around against israel, which fretting still the civilized region. i strongly condemned the runs blatant and unjustifiable attack on israel and i call on iran, and it's proxies to media, at least these attacks. some nato members, as well as other western states, were very quick to come to as well as rescue and condemn iran attacks. i mean

i don't think the countries like the u. s. u. k. israel, well, any country, despite being and fonts can help us in any field. i think that if those countries into the country, they will do nothing but lived ocelot mazda i, todd, this is how we announced afraid of israel's attack tools. and these riley's notes in a position to respond to iran. i mean, this matter, we must consider that these ro has always being defeated by muslims, a retaliatory strike back on iran was reportedly called off following a phone call between preventive and nothing, you know, and the us president drove by the same time, the us national security councils, folks suppose i'm joining coby said israel is interception of the drones on miss oswell as well. a great success where things stand this morning is just an incredible military judgement by israel. and quite frankly, united states and other partners that help this will defend itself against more than 300 drones and missiles manage just an extraordinary example of military superiority that is real demonst

washington's arming of history or what's interesting these cases and this is pretty much the 1st time i think the u. s. has ever admitted that they have been these gross violations of human rights carried out by his rate of units and 5 units and not just one, actually pre date, the current conflicting calls. so that way before october, the 7th. well, as washington, going to say about this, it still following as well as a result of its own new investigation. no. after a careful process, we found 5 is really units responsible for individual incidents of across violations of human rights. all of these were incidents much before october 7th and none took place in gaza is that is every all is a unique country being offered unique treatment. there is not a special treatment. there is not a different standard. what is a likely, differently needs? so israel is a country that in which we have a long standing security relationship, there is a lot of bulk assistance that is going for yours are mounting and israel as well. we need to mention this stuff. the international criminal court could soon at issue arrest

but i think the u. s. has poked into its um to have leverage so according to a report by the boss we joined to the u. s. government distressing sanctions against several of the chinese banks. and you know, this wouldn't give a lot of leverage for the us side because this is really a very potent to look at. you have to punish the chinese economy and whether that works or not. i mean, i'm quite skeptic, but skeptical. but i think it is definitely a very strong signal by watching those, you know, the us is threatening to burn or force the sale of the chinese platform, tick tock, which has a 170000000 users in america. how does china view the prospect of tick tock being banned or sold in the us? bob? yeah, yeah. so i mean, take dog is really a very special company. it's one of the few companies of china that has gone truly global and very successfully. so, and of course it holds a strategic position for china. i mean, it has a lot of a data better than masters, but also it can be used if a patient wants to to,

they think that if the u. s loses its global influence, it would be better for the world not to exist. the now to northern garza and al schafer hospital where israel has withdrawn his 4th is also a 2 week feeds. images show as the off the mouth left behind with buildings hollowed out from the bombing and streets filled with daybreak. according to gauze, the official was the idea of killed more than $400.00 pounds of citizens and destroyed over a 1000 times. during the sold the gauze and civil defense has afforded finding a compose. for these inside the magic when complex one body was found, handcuffed with a bullet wound in the head, and then residential building surrounding the hospital with thousands of facilities with discovered the low cost of condense, these rarely attacks. they completely destroyed the hospice. have you done this right? is there a dead people everywhere, but god willing, this occupation is doomed to end? nothing! yahoo is doomed to end. america is doomed to end. all those who bombed us no

u s. >> they don't think we're voting for self-interest, for better policy or we votin good results,ve or even to make america great again. >> they think we've been duped s by orange. >> the last thing democratst to want to do is talk about the issues. >> so they're justdo was goings. to say, you have issues and it's time to deprogram you. >> charlie hertz, a fox news contributor who probably needs two rounds of deprogramming at least. >> what does it say that they think this is some sortsome of brainwash just because we likef brainw, i don't know. low crime and low prices? >> well, i think that, you know, these people are always revealing themselves and always revealing themselves whenhemselve. they least intend to. but this whole notiois wholen tt first of all, you know, the cult expert claiming that there are all these people leaving the maga movement , that's not true. nothing suggests that peoplele are leaving the maga movement. it's quite the opposite. but i thin. the oppk the reasontalk a that they talk about the cult and they try to paint itboul in this in this way, two reasons. o

i don't think the countries like the u. s. u. k. israel to any country, despite being a fonts, can help us in any field or i think that if those countries into the country, they will do nothing but live ocelot mazda. i try to see as how we are not afraid of israel's attack tools. and these riley's notes in a position to respond to iran. i mean this matter, we must consider that these row has always being defeated by muslims. that's a cost lot to kind of think of now and learn more with the middle east export. the more of a high cut daughter who's not joining us a live or not see international and a very well welcome to today's our understanding is what? 10 past 10 in the evening where you are now inside of the pretty, just telling me from just before i get into any of my questions for you, how you're feeling, what's the sentiment and telling me today it's been nearly 24 hours since it's a historic armada of drones and mr. miles target it is rarely territory was the feeling where you are when they were on the way to target. this is

i don't think the countries like the u. s. u. k. israel, well, any country, despite being a fonts can help us in any field there. i think that if those countries into the country, they will do nothing. the salon, mos autopsy as how we're not afraid of these rails attack tools. and these riley's not in a position to respond to iran. i mean this matter, we must consider that israel has always being defeated by muslims. of course, a lot of stevens, a, who in the political ad list, an editor in chief of the mid east news website. joining us live here on all change in apple, a very warm welcome to steven. great to get you on the program. the great to have you on your, from syria, where of course, the is ready attack on the iranian cost with in your capital that to last night's versus bones. what did you make of their rounds actions? it's don jackson, actually, it says no. and then on a normal action and it's a because israel's been a taxi in the i r g c. and how republican god is of iran for the last few years they've been targeting th

why do you think the u. s. has kept a separate license in place that's still a lot of chevron to ship venezuela fuel to the united states because it's really much more to the low energy situation than ours and also the kinetics. and also it also helps everything to do what's going on. on the water level and think about for example, the name of the oil or how to such as rush or you know, based on the, under the set launchers diction, sanction program. and the how much any kind of difference of questions would actually have an impact in which they might be. they could be interest in elections completed normally for this order in order to, you know, be completely broken down on their own energy supply. and so that's a lot to do with this and even show how actually how, how much we sure they are in the records here in the global laws. as we recap their washington, bach protest against mr. maderos re election in 2018 even tried to replace them within opposition leader one why don't? who since faded really into polit

u. s. military support for israel and political support like in the u. n. so i think many, many people just feel very betrayed. i know there are more people who have resigned quietly. we haven't seen many public resignations. i think in part just because it's part of the culture of the state department to not sort of, you know, seek the spotlight or you know, the, just so much of that work is done quietly and out of the public eyes. so i think for many people, they're just not really accustomed to that you know, to coming out publicly like this. right. well, i want to get your reactions to a sound bite. we have from national security council spokesperson, john kirby responding to the aftermath of the death of 7 world central kitchen aid workers. we continue to look at incidents as they occur. the state department has a process in place and to date, as you and i are speaking, they have not found any incidents where these rallies have violated international humanitarian law. unless you think we don't take it seriously, i can assure you that we do. we look at this in rea

u. k. 's lancaster university. we asked him what he thinks about netanyahu's argument, that early elections would only benefit from us to. yeah, i think we need to contextualize this in the sense that there has been a lot of anger directed up benjamin netanyahu over the past. however many years, most of his time in office has been characterized by anger, frustration, political divisiveness, and not more so than the past couple of years. he faced as challenges from the right from the religious right, from people who are frustrated out the religious right, the oppressed protests and, and growing anger at the exclusion of the. ready tree service full members of the head of the community. and so to say that this is all about the, the hamas situational the inability to get the hostages back, i think, is misguided. and i think it points to a much deep frustration that is brewing within his really society netanyahu's political document and his political maneuverings. simon mae bon therapy is really military says it's killed, a senior commander and h

and i think a one has seen in the last month since the attack by hom, us on israel, that german influence. and in fact, i guess is u. s. influence as well is not as strong as one my think. i'm sure generally will continue to deliver weapons to israel. that's an important with weapons supply. uh, if that is required. but at the same time, i think germany will trying to keep its head down as a to, to integrate it's reaction into international reactions v 7, the united nations and nato. and you can see already in the reactions that have been issued and all by the why caused by the transfer to here in germany, that there must be something called an issue in the background of our viewers. we're wondering how this issue is debated in public here. in germany, how people are talking about it. can you tell us a little bit about how you think german society it will react to these most recent developments in the middle east? yes, this has been a fraud issue. obviously since the, how much the tech on these road in october and what has to see that here in germany, there is a large muslim community, a large palestinian community. a

surface. article 5 is, is a guarantee for all member states is i would ask you whether you think that the u. s. is the lead nation in nato with go to ball, say, for the sake of albania, or north of macedonia or slovenia. i say it's not going to work for the sake of someone. we are all in the military alliance together, and that is our combined power. the combined power is for 75 years where nato has been working. it has the 3rd war, and that is, it's goal. nature was not form and it's not working in europe in order to fight a war. nature was there so that a war would never have to be fought. and the difficulty the brain has is that it is not in nature or if was not enjoyable for the attack. and that, i think is the reason that the what, what fulton was speculating on because it's not the nato, no one would help it. but look, we're even ating ukraine, even though we have no formal obligation to do so. and the, so the nato alliance is a preventative alliance is not supposed to fight a war, although it's fully capable of doing so. it's supposed to prevent a war which it has done for many years. a

u. s. may tell you, which is why i don't think it makes sense to discuss individual variables here again, or include contributions that were already made eyes because that's why we're here for 2 days to discuss this together and p lines on. but it's also completely clear to the german government that we need reliability, fitness. it's about financial and material security. and above all, we need the tier support of ukraine because this is about our own security and our own freedom of identify heights, sorry, shields in process. what does the german foreign minister mean by juggling variables between a, you and nature? so if everyone's confused after listening to her, you're not alone because she's pointing out. some of the problems in coming up with, with a fund under nato auspices, because the european union already, of course, has, has a funds for ukraine also has weapons programs for ukraine. and so it has largely been in the past that nato coordinates contributions, not just from nato allies, but also from more than 20 other countries which are helping ukraine. so a lot of countries are

u. s. will stand by israel if it has to defend itself. and i think it's fair to assume that the, the same kind of message is expected to be a broadcasted by those 27 leaders in one way or another in one form or another towards iran, to woods all parties in the. busy in the middle east, and let's not forget that the us was, of course, always trying to or in the last few weeks, specifically trying to really be open about uh, their intelligence that they know iran is cooking something up and that everybody's expecting you around to retaliate for the attack is rarely a tech on a general consulate in damascus. the ronnie john, comes on a damascus on april 1st. so i think the diplomacy, diplomatic pressure, a clear communication to iran, look, we, we know what you did. we see what you did. we hear you, but now stay away from anything else. now this works both ways. i think also the us is trying to make really, really, really sure that israel understands that the us is not, is not keen on, is really actions which could escalate this. what happened and this

u. s. is doing exactly repeating the mistakes of world war one that thinks that it can create a huge numbers of defensive alliances aimed at a particular countries. and that somehow this will prevent more or prevent them from coming uh, economically viable. well, the fact is, you know, look at the statistics. china produces more and manufacturing terms and the next 9 countries combined the us, the only similar examples they spend more on military than the next 9 countries combined. you figure it out on terms of which model is going to work in the end. now the type of control talks in washington k, my mid territorial disputes affecting japan and the philippines and the south china sea. why have the americans whose countries thousands of kill them if there's a way becoming involved in this situation here? oh thats simple its uh, this is a containment strategy. i mean uh the u. s. has not tried that has poured out its defense white papers saying that we need 515 island chains surrounding china. but you know that unfortunately, like many things um, reality has passed. washington, by the fact is,

so i think that's fascinating, but i don't think we can expect or should expect us to change course the u. s. has been very consistent. that extension to un security council of not withstanding, and i think there was much ado about nothing. and then the us watered down that resolution. they said it was non binding. they've done proceeded to send the weapons up, you know, per usual. i think they obtained because they felt like they, they had to abstain given a global pressure. but the us as firmly and israel's corner was that the markham public does it continue to buy into is ready propaganda. there's certainly some difference of opinion, but the, the, the answer increasingly is no. there was a pole done last week and it showed that 75 percent of democrats and democrats are important because that's president biden's party. 75 percent of democrats do not agree with the way that is real, is waging a war and cause that comes on the heels of another poll. from about a month ago, what happened, democrats said that israel is committing genocide in casa so these are numbers. these are pulling number

u. s. just another bad roma. i was thinking gypsy, but on the large on the face which such experiences, many romani, people prefer to keep to themselves and their villages it gets worse every year horse and there's no works ours. who's going to give us what? nobody. if a white person comes when they take him, so when we wrote him a come, they send us away. yeah. more than 200000 people into the back. you live an appalling conditions. settlements such as schumann janski's vonny, growing with shak after shack being built. children are often without supervision to better understand development. within such places we visited the school in yet have needs a principal and maria, upon the co, the told is that only romani children come to the school, the few non roma children in the village. i drove into the with of schools by their parents. classrooms were quite empty. the principal explain this have to do with the vacation starting in 2 weeks. meaning most children weren't interested in class anymore. a school believes the states that
