u. s u k, and e u countries has declined significantly. however, overall trade between russia into china reached a reco level in 2022 up by 30 percent year on year. both rush us imports from and exports, especially oil and gas to china, grew. china now becomes moscow's most important, trained partner by a large margin. now china, of course, seems to be trying to balance its political support for russia, with its egan. amik need to get things going again after the cove had locked down. how is it managing that or jail as a war, drags on bateman's losses increase as a u. as in europe increasingly view china as the strategic competitor aging has suffered the effects of multilateral export controls, investment restrictions, and other measures that could hinder its long term growth prospects. the emphasis on no alliance as i mentioned, indicate that aiden is, are slightly adjusting his policy towards russia. now, many china experts down play previous official statement that china friendship with russia has no limit saying it was a, a rhetoric sta

u. s. u. k. and canada enough. well, we're finally getting somewhere with these sanctions and they've sanctioned individuals rather than the overall myanmar oil and gas enterprise. but this is a start. this is a beginning building on what was done previously by the european union, which sanctioned the, the entire enterprise. so i'm hoping that we're going to now see some real progress . this is a real shot across the bow for the me and my military, hoosier, that their financial lifeline is really missed. but one needs to ask why the, why the western mission needed to wait 2 years to initiate this action? well, it's an excellent question. we were calling for this in the 1st month after the military coup, because everybody recognizes that the oil and gas revenues are the most important financial lifeline for the military junta. so, you know, all they, all they would say to us is that we have to start lightly and then we'll add more. our attitude was actually go the other way around, should hit them hard, the very begi

u. k. agreed with united states to make the british indian ocean territory available for the defense purposes of the u. s. and the u. k. and the gulshan people were removed from the islands. we must, however, now look forward not back on decisions about the future of the british indian ocean territory. the government has now considered all the available information and has decided against the resettlement of that she calls him. people on the grounds of feasibility, defense and security interests, and the cost, the precious taxpayer. the costs of being estimated to, to vary from anything between 55000000 for a me a 50 people going back to anything like 256000000 pounds for one and a half 1000. it would then also triggered the obligation of majesty's government to pay on an annual basis, the costs of sustaining the population. and in fact, when there is no hospital available, no, no care urgently that can be delivered to people. it is in my view, unsustainable to expect a community of any such size to exist in such a setting. certainly, rosendam, mister speaker bridges should go. seasons should have the right o

u. s. and u. k. pondering the country's wealth and resources. however, the revolution caught washington by surprise. here at the former u. s. embassy, which iranians called the den of espionage american intelligence service, used to possess the most sophisticated spying tools. they even boasted they had every single detail about major events, particularly demonstrations and riots on the table. however, the cia did not see the prospects for a revolution. anytime soon, the u. s. and u. k were not prepared for a regime change in iran, and mild khomeini chanted the slogan of independence from superpowers. something which would put an end to the british and american dominance on iran soil. the 2 countries had already overthrown the democratically elected governments of mohammed mo, signed by orchestrating the 1953 co, and restating the shaw to power. that's what made toppling the shaw in 1979 thinking the unthinkable for washington. as if viewed mohammed was up on the v as a close ally and had the best s

u. s. the u. k. and the light palestinians have come out both in the west bank and in garza, both the palestinian authority animals coming out condemning these actions as you might expect. although we haven't seen anything more concrete coming from the palestinians. so far i must have instead been criticizing the palestinian authority for taking part in that summit yesterday that was mentioned in that report in aca to try and ease tensions. but last night we have benjamin netanyahu calling on the settlers are calling for people not to take matters into their own hands, to allow it to be taken care of by the security forces. and we haven't heard that much so far from the more right factions of the coalition. i'm speaking particularly of security minister it to my been via bit slow, small tricks. the finance minister, both settlers themselves, both calling in the past for annexation of the west bank. nothing official coming from men, but other members of their party definitely coming out in support of the

u. s. the u. k. and canada. in the u. k alone. what visas reminder as have doubled, says st. in 19, the wave of relocations is triggering concerns about the future of nigeria workforce young people have even coined a term for the migration trend. jacquila a, you're a by word that means run away. it's a hot topic in the elections and lead in candidates have from his change. but can reform candidates like peter will be convinced people like emmanuel to return sounds like the person there is actually seen wants to do something. i don't really think is like extra, i mean, i don't know so much about i just always, i don't think of you as i always actual super own gordon county did my job expansion here in europe or elsewhere can not directly change the situation back home. nigerian law doesn't allow people to vote from outside the country. so once people have left, while they can do is to encourage the people back home to register and cast their ballots. that's what dr. b from j. peg bow ultima. lou is doing from the you. a, she says getting people to register is only one part of

u. s. from the u. k. and from the e. u. we seen similar situations in the past when u. s. arms were used by libyan in syrian opposition groups. but what happens when those conflicts are over or seemingly over? oh, where does the weapons go? iraq church, it's a long time before these contracts are over. as you know, in afghan, a santa went on for 20 years, and it could good much longer. in libya, what we did was supply a lot of weapons to people who in turn. so some 2 other insurgencies of the and terrors groups and others throughout africa. and elsewhere, and of course, our efforts in afghanistan armed in effect against the soviets isis, or i'll should say al cater and then later isis. so he things have low back effects . ah, heaping in my a didn't these amps industry. so it would be wrong to say they didn't invade ukraine. cooking did that. however, they, in their people, they were influencing and the government were willing to risk a war like this coming from their policies which were attract provocative in terms of making it likely that the russians, any russian leade

u. s. and u. k. especially and, and also never in reporting even when soleski was saying we're not gonna follow this anymore. there are the media still reports that while rush us to one not implementing it in the end of the texas. they're black and white so. so nonsense. and even now, after rush and they did, you have it on the israeli prime minister, going out for me for mr. bennett is actually saying, listen, if the ukrainians wanted to say the peace agreement that the russians wanted it, this is early march or we, we, we could have done it. but the, the west said no, especially u. s. and you k, they wanted to continue this to smash potent, that if for some opportune to fight approx a war against them so you know, no matter what does matter what the ukrainians wanted. that's, that's why they put the block down. then they, they, sir ellis, i pushed out as negotiated. the turks take over the turkish foreign minister says the same thing that we were close a deal both sides wanted it. and then the west

u. s. and the u. k. closely worked, coordinate on intelligence given, given that relationship and so, and for the brits to let us come into their facilities, i think is it's not unusual, but it's certainly might suggest that the us focus in, in some respects is oriented increasingly toward africa. turkey, because you got turkey, you got turkey and excuse me. and the greeks that are, that are also within and especially over cyprus as well as other other areas. so that area is a very, very serious location for the united states. now to begin monitoring as well as the breadth and you have, you have also the, the united states now trying to build up its military presence with the greeks as opposed to the turks. yeah. because of the relationship there. so it's a, it's, it shows increasing act activities, especially in the libya in the north africa. and that, it, those areas are just the right for the tensions. certainly. yeah, we're sending the term are currently going on the micro of former senior pentagon

u. s. and the u. k. canada and australia as well. so we would really see more alignment. they also hold on country, it's like the roofs and iran to cease their act and support or these, these new things and focus on preventing russia from importing for in technology to boost their weaponry, especially when it comes to drones. now that you mentioned iran is that approach smart as you it's, it's an inevitable approach because that is the response here, but we're seeing on the ground and for that reason predictable to but i think that again, sections foreign parts of a much broader package. so nice lation measures will look in a search, but it is the impact as a whole that needs to be considered as well. is incredibly difficult, of course to make sure not just the sanctions that are smarts, in the sense of targeting the right types of experts and imports, but also that they're complied with in practice. and that is the real challenge because of course, sanctions have to be and forest and they have to be properly understood on the ground. so the businesses and the services ind
