u. s. i thought trade. so now they were trying to cover their own back by ship thing to use and no one us dollar, such as their local currency and a chance jen. he says so fresh and all a formation or for multi polar or multi center. well order more regional lies economy and region know lies center, so power emerging. so i think the middle east iraq, of course just we're presenting just. ready and part of the picture of the whole world, the chinese government harris, liberal eyes and china's internal fire financial market to external foreign financial companies. it is not just being open to western companies, but also open to other financial companies in other parts of the world. and i, jerry africa's most populous nation, and the biggest economy is preparing for presidential elections this saturday. here in our see, we're taking off our special coverage of one of the continents, most significant elections this year. 18 candidates will take part in the presidential elections with 3 of the leaders representi

u. s. thought the trade or agency, but you, russia and china fast increased dramatically. i think at least trouble washington has an array tube that somehow increasing trade. the relationship between benji and moscow is portrayed as a way of assisting a russia that's total nonsense. you know, even before is the trade between china and russia has been increasing rapidly. if i can remember this corrected, i think in 2021 of the trade between russia and china increased by more than 30 percent compared to the previous year. so this lecture already own a trend of theme of your forest walk or not. my penitent has congratulated rushes, military officers and veterans with the annual defender of the fatherland day marked on the 23rd of february. it president stress that the country security is now being boasted with some brand new weapon systems. i wish you would you mind if we will pay increased attention to strengthening our nuclear deterrent this year. the 1st launchers of the sar math complex with a new heavy missile are entering combat duty. we will continue the serial product

u. s. thought the trade or asian. sure. but you, russia and china has increased dramatically. i think at least trouble washington has an array tier that somehow with increasing trade, the relationship with you in moscow is portrayed as a way of assisting a rush. you're just total nonsense. you know, even before is the trade between china and washer has been increasing rapidly. if i can remember this corrected, i think important one is one of the trade between russia and china increased by more than 30 percent compared to the previous year. so this, like you already own a tread, even before this was a following his meeting with china. as a foreign affairs chief of luck, may patina congratulated russian citizens on the upcoming defender of the fatherland day. the president noted that every person is a defender of their homeland. but am with you right now, there is a fight on our historical territories for our people who all are. people are defenders of the fatherland. the homeland is a family and in the hearts of russians, they are the same thing. and his address, the russian le

u. s. thought i think there's a lot of all are using an alternative currency as opposed to us all up on cost coming from moscow coming from some our countries to certain also from china as well. so i think the 3rd event, it's probably a more significant, he might well authentic, quite a lot on pack there. john, i sort of pick of all the 1st points you made about obviously one year visits on potentially paving the way for shooting ping's visit to moscow. both, both putin and young, we did discuss the, you know, a shift in global power dynamics and the a shift towards multi polarity. what message do you think that sends to the collective west answer and to washington? yes, i think it's very clear that our challenges in your 100 percent opposed to the union for all of our china is a big champion of a multi part of what i to which that, that the china is a party all. and also probably, you know, russia, writers also on, on, but, you know, i think we have to discuss this relationship of the contest of t

u. s. s. thought and russia says that washington is preparing australia to wage war against china. american service personnel are now embedded in australian defense policy, making institutions and in command and control positions within the australian defense forces. all of the american military assets installed in australia, under the arcus deal can be used as putative australian forces against china, while the us stands aside and maintains the same pretense of no engagement as it is doing in ukraine. while they've got the vice president of the center for china and globalization, say that the move by austria defense ministry. well worse than relations between the 2 countries, as it will be hard for counselor to find a good replacement for chinese made security cameras. to remove such a neutral technologist and equipment, actually damages their reputation as well as hurts that you can make bugs in life. because these chinese made the problems high quality, very affordable and very easy to maintain. and therefore, the consumers will actually meet such products from china to put a la

u. s. 15, i'm thinking thought position on an airship was preconceived the way it handles. the incident has been entirely taken hostage by domestic or politics and designed to service ready to go to content and take down china. the fact that present biden ordered the pentagon to take down the balloon as early as february. the 1st makes people wonder whether the conclusions of the so called investigation have been pre drawn as well. the conclusions will most likely not go beyond this information. an unfounded allegations coming from the u. s. for the past few weeks. what value can such an investigation? possibly have apart from serving the purpose of smearing and attacking china. i don't think you that you were on cannot make what, what got so the, i'm not you and jap ccg. do you have any comments on the recent tweet by us radio talk show host the garland nixon white house inside this league that president bowden, have planned to for the destruction of power one. what is your comment about your dog, dog or rubric? i want to know what is present biden's plan for the destructi

u. s. has a long thought control over the narrative and ukraine from its elections to its foreign and domestic policy. recently, resurfaced leaked reporting shows and vice president joe biden pressuring a former ukrainian president to nationalize a bank, hinting that there could be financial consequences if his advice wasn't followed. ortiz kellum up and has the story. investigative journalist who goes by clam das time has shaken up social media once again. this time reminding people about the leaked phone call that took place between them, vice president joe biden with them president of ukraine. poor shank, back in 2016, the american v. p was on the phone with for a sank, discussing aspects of ukraine's financial system. biden had some very specific demands regarding certain banks i'm in or where you think about it. so you're right to year long forward or your last that's apparently sounds a bit like a threat. is this the way you would expect the sovereign leaders of 2 independent countries to speak with one another? why is it that joe biden would speak this way too, afore and head of state?

u. s. and the west. do you think the thoughts would you fell from the start? yes, seems to be if you said he didn't know any, he, israel didn't have any interest. that's why he, if you said, acted on behalf of the us, he did what the us wanted. did you also said clearly yes. if it were not negotiations between russia and ukraine, but with, let's say the west in the next door. and the west didn't want to end this war because the west was we can russia and therefore they need this fighting in ukraine . yeah. is way, well, it just clear that it technology and now we've covered earlier today that anglo merkel and france for a long they did say that one of the aims of the men's agreements was to buy time for ukraine to rearm and obviously now we have this latest revelation by bennett, the former israeli pm said that he was coordinating with the west and the u. s. was so chance. do you think that piece thoughts have of succeeding, given some of the, the information is now come to light about previous discussions, negotiations? well, at least in the past, since 2014,

u. s involvement in the sub thoughts of the north stream pipeline. he was accused of putting american lives at risk one, i've got no information to suggest that the united states was involved in bombing the noise i see was you would have been, you weren't going on. that is not silence me phil. you can hear me right now, i want you to say something about the bombing, we're going to continue to stay in with the ukrainian do not you. i love her more again. when you leave, we need talk because. c that apartment, it's hard to know what your head bonnie: it's we need. he talks. i am not gonna take this. it's we'd do. molly. it's your meeting like not received it or even read the i don't bankruptcy, it's now between now and that'll be i am bar and tomorrow i will not be away. may i have not late as the rod finn. how about i must go, has claimed that ukraine is preparing to invade the neighbouring self proclaimed republic of chance. nestor, where russian peacekeepers have been station since 92, the russian defense ministry has recorded a significant accumula

u. s. evasion of iraq. we asked thought reader, what was behind power claims at the un security council? the former chief un weapons inspector to iraq, says washington never had any intention to let the experts do their job as iraq's this argument was. the last thing the us really wanted. i was brought in to help create an intelligence organization that would assist the special commission and evaluating the accuracy of the iraqi declarations about what weapons of mass destruction they had. you see, i thought that the mission of the special commission was to disarm i. rec, and, and we worked in a very assiduous manner to carry out that mission. but it turned out that the disarmament of iraq was the last thing the united states wanted. the united states was going to go to war with iraq, regardless. regardless, it doesn't matter what the truth was. so i addressed the iraqi parliament. they gave a speech that wasn't pre screened. and as a speech, a said, if you don't let weapons inspectors back in your country will be destroyed

u. s. list of sanctions. i thought the senator in 2015 we faced sanctions, but this was a blessing in disguise, which prompted us to produce palms and mechanical seals, houston, the petrochemical industry. so far there hasn't been any problem for clients with regards to the seals. we have supplied to them alike oil. it was special, chemical exports cannot be easily restricted by sanctions expert, say, the wide variety of iranian petrochemical products. and the huge international demand makes it easier to bypass us sanctions. us sanctions have opened up new opportunities for iran's oil, including an oil and gas swamp projects with russia. however, jet one is no longer willing to put all its eggs in one basket of oil revenues and is determined to shift its industrial landscape toward value added in this race with the petrochemical sector, playing a central part in the plan. use of generally r t kish island. was the main store? is this our do checkouts? all websites are t dot com or telecom channel for more? i'm peter sco

thoughts, lucas? yeah, i think everyone's getting tired of this nato, the u. s. u, they're all pushing way too hard too quickly. they, as michael said, they thought they could probably win this war. now they're waking up, the smell in the coffee and they're seeing that it's not really that easy to. we conclude fact couldn't. and everyone else around it is allies are getting stronger without us than people are starting to see that the united states cannot even be trusted. anymore, so this whole thing is going to end up pretty bad for us here in the last. and you know, frankly i look forward to the multi polar world works much more fair rather than having this bullied my country pushing people around with this rules based order, which is basically american exceptionalism. do whatever we want and no one else to do anything. brush it doesn't have their own security interests, you know, we have to push them into this war because we want to expand our influence restaurants and yes, you know, show that, you know, that's something i almost feel obligated to mention every

u. s. has been granted more access to philippine military bases. defense thought secretary lloyd austin has been holding talks with president ferdinand marcus junior. in manila, u. s. troops now have access to an additional 4 basis taking the total to 9. let's find out more the significance of this, we're joined by bond me. low who is in manila for us, ought to be good to see. so what do we know about these new bases that the u. s. military will have access to. busy or moline, as you mention, we know now that there are 4 additional philippine military bases, that the u. s. will have access to the u. s. military already has access to 5 different military bases across the philippines. under the enhanced defense corporation agreement, which was signed back in 2014, under the administration of former president min ignore aquino, the 3rd, the joint statement by the u. s. and philippines defense ministries, a state that the u. s. has invested around $82000000.00 in these 5 locations where they have, they have had access to 4 years. and so they are committing to investing in these additional locat

u. s. is losing its influence. i thought the do you know with the drinking department? i find the very strange. i'm not sure that we have to do it before. it's not them to encourage us. i, you know, but we had the situation where when it was been, well we stand on tree story and sure the government as friendly to the policies they did that we don't think enough offices. would that be good? i think i talked to miss john. i know that i know that this has gone down just to kind of you know, see the end of the what the issue of the software for the continue. and i think it is one of the guys that you know off that because we have the capacity to build up points and they want to watch our coverage of the nigeria elections throughout the coming days here on our tea will keep you updated on all the latest, ah oh, nicole kidman, justin timberlake into lena julie and zack ephron all much on crickets, locust and spiders, in order to get their daily lives approaching as ghetto hughes. and on this edition of $360.00 view, we're going to ask if there's a new meal option, is a hollyw

it's none of our business thought of the u. s. sabotage on the north stream pipelines which washington has denied. it was aimed at cutting off europe from affordable russian gas, as, according to the man who broke the story, pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh, speaking exclusively to african latency on going underground. the people doing it thought this was in a bad idea. they gave the white house some options to maybe bluff or convince of putting that the cost is going to be very high. and but then when the white house blue book by talk publicly about this, within 3 weeks of the briefing, information he got. and victoria moved both within a 3 week period and late january, early february of last year. both said publicly, well, we know we can stop it and let me be, let me, let me. so the news kind of is, if, if a we will stop the north she wanted and the president was asked after he said that by a reporters, it's a fame. it's all on tape. it was a on a nightly news report said, well how will you do it? he said, let me

thought on something else. the speaker said, they mentioned the u. s. is getting every possible weapon system it can to ukraine without considering whether or not it's escalate to which your view and that level of thought being put into making decisions on legal aid. i. it's ridiculous. oh, well, you know, early on there was talk about the managing escalation to be careful not to be seen as crossing russian red lines. right now we see a given the desperation on not just the zalinski area, but frankly, the united states and nato a to manage the impending defeat. i think it's, you know, the secretary general, a young stoughton berg indicated ukraine runs out of 155 millimeter artillery ammunition, sometime the summer. and there's nothing nato can do to replace it. and when that happens, it's game set match. it's all over. and everybody knows they acknowledged. so what they're doing right now, frederick political harder for, for their to say we've done everything we can to assist trainings in their, in their struggle. it's someone agreeing with your viewpoi

u. s. defense secretary, mark esper, who spilled the beans during a prank. cool. as for thought he was talking to ukraine's former president petra poor shanker. it's actually b like to states must be russian pranks is known as both and, and lexus. i've argued back here in united states it's, you know, the, the brave ukrainian people were, are doing the dirty work of what we never want to do here. and i states, which is why we should continue to support you with everything we can doing. the so called a dirty work in ukraine has its price. of course, as washington has approved, its latest military aid package for key f, with $2500000000.00, a total military assistance from the bind and administration to ukraine now stands at an estimated 27500000000. let's not discuss this with new york based journalists . don dorothy daniela's are many thanks for joining us on the program this evening is good to see you as well. what do you make of mock hospice comments that will sort of dirty work with the americans prefer to have the ukrainians do instead? well, i think by the word phrase dirty

it doesn't seem that that thoughts in consequence or 2 of their box, you know, strongest policies. but she is a pro imperialist pro u. s. lead global hegemony. 2 or sled western global hegemony proponent to, to the 90 degree. and she is now essentially dictating german, 4 and military policy. and that's a thought that should probably scare anyone who's not on the oak, on, on either side of the atlantic. all right, mark followed, i got to leave it right there. thank you so much and be sure to check out marks youtube channel called the real politic with mark sla moda. so as you can see over in europe where this conflict could have direct consequences, there is no unanimous agreement on how to move forward with ukraine. but here in washington, one thing is clear, you are not an american patriot. if you don't give all your support and your money to keep, that's going to do it for this week's episode. modus operandi the show that digs deep into foreign policy. i'm your host manila chan. thank you so much for tuning, and we'll see you again next week. to figure out the ammo ah, in today, and this is lou and never done before

well, meeting with thought americans in moscow, the u. s. has warned china against providing material support for russia's invasion of ukraine.

well, meeting with thought americans in moscow, the u. s. has warned china against providing material support for russia's invention of ukraine. accountants war on ukraine, sparks fear in many former soviet bloc countries that they could be next. what is nato doing to protect its eastern flat heat? the somber carnival is back again. brazil. cobra 19 worries are 18 of the past as part of years. once again pack rio streets and stadiums. ah, i'm pablo, folio yes, thanks for joining us. russian president vladimir putin has said he looks forward to deepening the partnership between russia and china in a meeting with beijing's talk. diplomat, wang ye attend to talks with the kremlin and told him that relations between beijing and moscow would not be influenced by other countries. the meeting took place just days out from the one year firstly of russia's invasion of ukraine. also said he was looking forward to a visit to moscow by president changing thing somewhere in the which it was much. right, well let's get there a little bit more analysis on

u. s. and in europe, especially important in poland. yeah. and what i thought was interesting, alexander, of maybe you can answer this a bite and did refer to russian president putin's address that was made earlier today. and even at one point directly addressed of the russian people, what do you make of that? i think it was very interesting that he did so because ahead of the speech, the white house had told reporters that they did an expected date. the address to be turned into a back and forth with putin. but i was not surprised because i assumed that it would be important for you as president to sort of refuse what or reject the claims made by lady mean put in an in particular, declaim dad's a to is not nato. that is to be blamed for this war that need to end the west in general, was trying to destroy russia and to the u. as a president made clear in his speech that this was not the case that hootin chose the war. and that he could enter this war with one word. thank you so much for that update. that is alexandra phenomena for us in warsaw and see me someon

thought. and so the safety problems with their self driving software. u. s. regulators pushed for the recall saying the so called full self driving system could cause fractions larger investigation into the safety of tesla's automated driving systems is ongoing. protests isn't taken to the streets in cities across iran overnight, in the most widespread demonstrations in weeks. they were marking 40 days since 2 men were executed on protest related charges. iran has been gripped by unrest for months after a young woman died following her arrest by the settled morales. he please. b. u. s. president joe biden has said 3 ariel object shut down by the you as this week will likely not chinese was by balloon authorities believe they were privately owned balloons that weren't conducting surveillance. raj washington says that a much larger object, though, shut down earlier in the month, was sent i beijing to spy on the you, us. i just, one year ago, leaders mash at the munich security conference to discuss the war they hoped would never happen and made all the global

u. s. actor and director, sean pence, superpower. russia is picking on ukraine's military. the thought initially planned as a portrait of actor turned president, val not a mere soleski. the film took an unexpected turn when russia invaded, filming in ukraine, clearly had a deep impact on pen who calls his film, unapologetically, biased, pregnant medicine. but think of her personally, but i'd certainly like to apply that daily concern to everywhere and my life and not forget that life is fragile and the people we love in the and the dreams we have should be pursued vigorously. as long as we're here, the actor is now vigorously drumming up support for ukraine, a mission shared by a string of films at this year's berliner and has a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. former us president jimmy casa, has entered hospice care as his home in georgia. the 98 year old has survived a series of health is in recent years occurred in cancer and repeated falls after leaving office in 1981 he gained renown for his public service achievements and diplomacy and nobel peace pri

i don't think so and thought out the usual way. tony grow old is of the u. s. sending more troops and asking as to go to the u. s. for training shows that the situation across the taiwan straits is indeed perilous. if it wasn't the u. s. would not be doing this is why we endanger ours because we've become a porn and the conflict between china in the u. s. law. william, your other son, but there are these sentiments, the oppositions alone or do they represent a considerable view in taiwan population. i think these views represent a certain faction inside a tony society, even though we are seeing the number impose, suggesting more and more people are willing to fight for time one, if a conflict broke out with china. but at the same time, there are people who i've been talking to in recent months and weeks staying at the end of the day, maintaining peace and stability across the toe and street is still their top priority. and they are concerned about the moves and deepen ties. between the u. s . and taiwan in on the military front. and also the, you know, want th

u. s. germany and france. they brought it and i thought they were wrong. so according to israel's former prime minister, he broke the seas for a deal between russia and ukraine. 2 weeks after the conflict started the west back the terms at 1st and then blocked it. not letting me put it, not lighting mirror, zalinski. no, the west who've been screaming for months about how russia doesn't want peace. when asked to comment on the former israeli pins claims the kremlin spokesperson said that he can neither confirm or deny the statements. he only said that, right? even if it's in and but it had indeed discussed the war ukraine. oh, when i reminder of our breaking news here. not since now. so this our 1498 people have been confirmed dead so far with more than 5000 injured after a cascade of power for earthquakes, inter kia neighbors, syria has also been devastated by the aftershocks with at least 430 people dead. and nearly 2000 confirmed injured tremors have been felt as far away as israel and lebanon. and we'll keep your data to as the news comes in. well, tha

u. s. defense secretary, it seems to say yes. sorta i thought that was an interesting question too, as well as an interesting answer. so i think that everyone is worried that ukraine will literally run out of ammunition. i, i don't think they're there yet, and maybe that would never happen. but they would have to perhaps conserve more than they are right now. but this was an interesting answer because what he said that, that was that with more training and they're very much putting as many ukrainian soldiers as possible into training now that they won't meet as much. and with, with new weapons systems, perhaps they won't run through as many of the smaller caliber munitions as they are right now. but, but he also said at the end of that answer, as you'll note, that remains to be seen. okay, so this is the 1st of a couple of big meetings. so for the usaa defense, the secretary, after that she goes on to meet with nato defense ministers. what are we expecting that a well, ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, that's the biggest issue here today. you can't get away from it tonight, did 30 defense minister
