u. s. and, and we heard that a lot as well from the secretary of state and from the u. s. embassy, the u. s. and buster to the you and that they were demanding investigation. as i mentioned before, there's res didn't object to have collaborate of investigation and day you as what was demanding, but these kinds of investigations are not enough because the they will not lethal accountability. they will not lead to enforcement of imprisonment in case a person, a specific person, whether the soldier, whether the commander of not a military unit that it was present in jeanine. and that they actually was shot whether the commander of the army itself. and this is why i see it is important because it looks on personal accountability that can be enforced on an imprisonment level that no other investigation can do. that other instigation, probably sorry, just to, to finish the will probably to lack of political will to pressure israel to take responsibility, which has really no basis and, and, and everyone knows that it will lead to know i'm a, do you agree with south that a case at the i, c c could

u. s. continues to pure cerebral. this is the u. s. war, this is the u. s. u. k. war. saudi arabia is the proxy here. i mean, the us now fights most of its wars by proxy is it's fighting russia now for ukraine . and so, yeah, i mean, the u. s. has been critical in this war is provided most of the armaments, including cluster bombs, has helped with logistical support, including targeting and refueling saudi plains, in air, has supported the saudi blockade of yemen, which has star countless numbers of people. but as many of these wards and undeclared war, i mean, most americans don't even know what's happening. if they do, they don't know that the u. s. is behind it over to the warden islands now, which have condemned a gas drilling projects in the north sea. they say it will be harmful for the environment and it comes after germany on the netherlands decided to join forces to develop a new gas field, which is aimed at cutting dependence on bushing energy. the german federal ministry however, downplayed the impacts of future drilling. let us go, in other words, the gas quantities that could be extracted

u. s. u. s. has an economic resources which, 16 times to 20 times as thick as rush us economic resources. so if this is a war of attrition, if it last long, then it's for my part of your no question. who will win as long as there is see political determination to support ukraine as long as they want to fight and give them what they need. but germans are afraid of this nuclear thing and we just have to remind ourselves we where it's a front lance, east, germans, and west germans for almost half a century. if there had happened a nuclear war, it would be on the territory of germany. and that, that has an influence and on our, on our thinking we, i think of shots as wise, not to push economic sanctions too far because i think we all have to understand that m sanctions should be painful for the enemy, much more than to your own economy, otherwise you might lose over the midterm range, the support of your voters, and that is the real danger. and i want to take a look at sanctions in just a moment. but latter, do you see similar divisions in public opinion within sweden, the economist recently wrote about western attitudes as a whole. as this conflict becomes a war of attrition and said it seeing the emergence of a peace camp on the one hand and injustice camp on the other. the justice camp being those who say they put in a breach of international law cannot be permitted to stat. would you say there's a similar division of attitude in your own country? absolutely. yeah. on the other hand, sweden always wants to be the best in the class. so now we've decided to join nato, and everyone is kind of stuffing us. push that is just united us even more before add one. talk about us, letting the terrorist walk the streets and you know that he didn't put his veto into this. it was more torn and wireless. now we have gathered behind the idea that we have to deliver suite and is one of the largest deliver in country that livers the most them number one country per capita would deliver to most weapons and yeah, their discussion is there, of course, for sure. but you are moving ahead with nato membership, and that is a quite a big turning point. you're sweden, let me just go back to rome and very quickly, if you would roman the u. s. is also now promising to supply sophisticated surface to air weapon systems do you? and they also though, have extracted a pledge from the ukranian government that these will not be used to fire on to west on to russian territory. that was actually mentioned by christoph earlier number one. will that pledge do you think be respected? is it in fact requiring ukraine to fight with one hand behind its back? and number 2, will this pledge be enough to placate russia? well i think you current has the, is not interested in using those weapons on the russian territory, cranes. it was very or, or at least that was my impression was very strange in taking russian territory. we do not have a reliable information about that. there was some explosions in the board not far from the board of oil refineries and things like that, but that was it. so ukraine did not attack. i think it was like, further deeper into rush and stay. so crimea was not really attacked. and now ukraine is not in a positi

u. s. u s. president joe biden says more than $645000000.00 will be pledged in the coming days to address issues in the western hemisphere. he was speaking at the summit of the americas in los angeles, where many of the regions leaders have gathered. he says the funds will address food insecurity responses to disaster as an historic flows of refugees and migrants . those will bring our nations together around a transformative, new approach to invest in the region. a solutions that embrace stability to increase opportunities for shave, an orderly migration for cracked down on criminals and human traffickers who pray on desperate people and coordinates specific concrete actions to secure our borders and resolve the shared challenges. robert knowles is in los angeles and says, besides the declaration, very little will come out of this summer. migration is a very thorny issue and it's dealing with it here is made even more difficult by the fact that some of the major players in the migration crisis, the presidents of, of mexico, guatemala, honduras, and el salvador. these are the countries where many people are migrating from to go to the united states. they're not here because of this boycott that we've been discussing over the last couple of days due to the exclusion of cuba, venezuela in nicaragua, from the, from the summit by the, by the administration. so all of that being said, present by did say that he would lay out the u. s. as commitments in specific and concrete terms on friday. and the, the, the declaration is probably going to be about as close as we come to a joint commitment by these countries on the issue of migrations. the head of the international atomic energy agency says iran plans to disconnect 27 surveillance cameras. monitoring at sites to run is responding to criticism from the un watchdog for failing to explain uranium particles at some sites. victoria getting be reports . workers at an iranian nuclear site turned off to surveillance cameras on wednesday. it ran says it will disconnect more. the equipment is operated by the international atomic energy agency or i. e, a, it's director says to ran is making a mistake. 27 cameras are being removed. this is, of course, a poses, a serious challenge to our ability to continue working there and to confirm the correctness or for you as the gratian under j, tara terence, as it action is in response to criticism from the i am, the un nuclear wat

u. s. u s. president joe biden has just announced the measures at the end of the summit of the americas taking place in alec 20 countries has signed up to the declaration believe just from the countries that account for the largest fil migrants to the vast, that's cuba, venezuela and nicaragua, were not invited and mexico boycotted the summit in protest. there are security is leg and ways that i don't think most people in my country fully understand and maybe not in your country as well. are common humanity demands that we care for our neighbors by working together. and we know that safe, orderly, legal migration is good for all our economies. but we need to hold the dangers on a lot of ways. people are mar, grady, the dangerous way. a lawful migration is not acceptable, while reynold says that the summit ne joins is now. hi there, rob, how much do we know about the details of these agreements? well, we have some details. i and there are some specifics in this los angeles declaration . you know, julie, millions of people are on the move all over this hemisphere and the problems that cause them to leave their homelands are very deep seated. so it's unlikely that this declaration is going to resolve the problem. but present biden, as you heard there ah, was emphasizing the common purpose of these 20 countries that have signed on and stepped up. and among those countries i want to point out is mexico. because even though mexico's president decided to skip the summit of the americas, his foreign minister was here, they did sign on and they have made some commitments. so that is a key country in the whole migration puzzle. so what does it do? it one is essentially a matter of burden sharing. a number of central and south american countries have agreed to streamline the path for migrants to get help to enter, to be received a within a you main manner or get of medical attention if needed. find a place to live and so on, and a get temporary legal status if that's possible under their laws in the u. s. is basically financing this with more than $300000000.00. that's going to be given through a regional lending institutions. there's also an agreement to absorb higher numbers of refugees, not very high numbers of but something of mexico, for example, is going to allow a 20000 met refugees who were resident in that country now to enter the workforce. so they'll have legal employment. the united states is pledged to accept a, again, $20000.00 refugees over the next fiscal year. that's not a lot it, some people might say it's a drop in the bucket, but it is something the 3rd section of this declaration has to do with enforcement . and with the regular a regulating the way that people are processed, the u. s. said it would begin processing. people who do have the right to stay in the united states more efficiently, more streamlined, more humane manner. also present bite and said that if you are praying on innocent migrants, if you are a human trafficker, we're coming after you, we're

u. s. continues to fuel cerebral. this is the u. s. war, this is the u. s. u. k. war. saudi arabia is the proxy here. i mean, the us now fights most of its wars by proxy is it's fighting russia now for ukraine . and so, yeah, i mean, the u. s. has been critical in this war is provided most of the armaments, including cluster bombs, has helped with logistical support, including targeting and refueling saudi plains, in air, has supported the saudi blockade of yemen, which has starved countless numbers of people. but as many of these wards and undeclared war, i mean, most americans don't even know what's happening. if they do, they don't know that the u. s. is behind you know, a story to bring you to day india's plans for a safe 1st cyber security space or failing to win funds among primarily the west big tech companies who claim the new regulations set to come into place at the end of the month. pose a risk to personal privacy. we respectfully urge you to withdraw the directions as they would weaken. cybersecurity amplify the risk of surveillance, particularly for journalists and human rights defenders

u. s. domination and the u. s. has failed in that report. it's not just the summit of the americas. it's what the u. s. has attempted to do in recent years. now we see the election of seo, mont, castro, a progressive in good us. we see a returning of the cool in bolivia with the election of lewis are a set of bolivia. and those countries as well as mexico have said, it's time that we have the se in our own continent. and president lopez over their statement has chris has followed several statements on his behalf, where he is called for the abolition of the organization of american states. it's not just the dictating of us. it's the policies, the economic social, political policies that has led to the disaster of migration. people have fled on dude us by the 10s of thousands because of the qu, that took place in 2009. engineered by the united states, as are now biding claims. he's going to be talking about the border issue, democracy. it is the i couldn't think of a greater example of hypocrisy than what mine is doing and will attempt to do in los angeles this week. or speaking of hypocrisy, how about? w

u. s. continues to fuel terrible. this is the u. s. war, this is the u. s. u. k. war. saudi arabia is the proxy here. i mean, the us now fights most of its wars by proxy is it's fighting russia now from ukraine. and so, yeah, i mean, the u. s. has been critical in this war is provided most of the armaments, including cluster bombs, has helped with logistical support, including targeting and refueling saudi plains, in air, has supported the saudi blockade of yemen, which has starved countless numbers of people. but as many of these wards and undeclared war, i mean, most americans don't even know what's happening. if they do, they don't know that the u. s. is behind it. ukraine has rebuked the french president for his russia remark. manuel micron recently said that moscow should not be humiliated any settlement to the conflict, suggesting the west should maintain a diplomatic dialogue with russia to bring sides to the negotiating table. must not humiliate russia, so that the day when the fighting stops, we can build an exit ramp through diplomatic means. calls to avoid humiliation of russia can only hum

u. s. we know pace were 20 percent of israel's military budget. there is a u. s. northerly. he act which says that the u. s. can not provide any support or training to any military unit in the world that has carried out human rights violations. how much you think these latest revelations put pressure, not just on, on israel, but on the u. s. government and the biden administration, which is a planning a visit to, to the region very soon? well, unfortunately, not enough pressure. let me start off by saying that during the great march of return, when the people of missouri were marching towards the borders of their ancestral homelands. or the israelis released a tweet saying that with $30000.00 people marching towards their borders that they knew were every single bullet landed. now if 30000 people marching and this military feel confident enough to tweet out that they know where every bullet landed, then we should know that from the day stream was shot. we knew where the bullet originated and we certainly knew. ready where it landed, and so what we're all talking about here is accountability. and what yo

u. s. in looking to a cajole strong arm to find in other countries and condemning russia. i really looks like this is backfiring on the united states. i've written that said the u. s . is engaging in some rewards against russia, the proxy shadow military war in the ukraine and economic war and a propaganda war. and one lesson than i think is china's a decision to encourage a peaceful settlement of this is correct. the larger geopolitical us, i think, is this again, ah, looking for conflict really is destructive and self destructive. and the biden administration's framing of its, ah, geopolitical objectives as a fight of democracies against autocracies, i think is really, again backfiring because the lesson here that is the, the biden administration was looking to administer a, is that this is what happens when you engage in behavior. that the world of democracy is does not white. and therefore other countries that fall into this camp judge high in other countries around the world, ah, should take heed. and i think in fact the opposite conclusions are being drawn now . and i think this is very ironic that these are the, the lessons that i think can be drawn from what

u. s. is concerned, it's better for the u. s. if this war drags on as long as possible. and the u. s. can make that happen by continuing to supply weapons and weapon systems to the ukrainians. ah, okay. 2 more world news now in a bid to check staggering inflation, the u. s. central bank as res, that's key interest rate marking the biggest one time increase. in decades. the federal reserve raise the rate by 3 quarter percentage points pushing its benchmark rate to arrange between 1.5 and 1.75 percent. the height which will affect consumer and business loans is the 3rd since march, and the biggest in almost 30 years. we spoke to economics professor jack rasmus on the investment monitor mich firestone. optimism about the move was in short supply from both they feel they've um, almost lost control of inflation and the markets and investors have been pushing the fed and the government to i get more aggressive to raise rates. and that's what's really behind all this. but you know, it's interesting, i listen to jerome this morning, you know, and the chair to foot chair, and he indicated that,

u. s. and china, in the, in the pacific region are with china, for instance, reaching out recently to pacific nations, 10 small pacific island nations to offer them a security pact. you have the u. s. reaching out with yorkers, security packed that australia joined together with you. you are with the united kingdom, including nuclear submarines, and then you have indonesia in the midst of all of this, trying to stay out of this rivalry. and that is basically the setting for the discussion. so the indonesian president and the australian, a prime minister will half here these days are dog relations between nam indonesia and australia. haven't been the smoothest in their, in recent years. one things of their bought toolbox for example, is this visit being viewed as somewhat of a reset or that is what it's been framed from the australian side, at least. so a diplomatic priority giving to indonesia. and then a d. m. australian prime minister observed that indonesia would be the next regional superpower. and that is, of course, or something that the indonesian a president likes to here. on the other hand, you have to see that it is completely normal for a new prime minister from australia to pay his 1st visit to the neighbouring islands of indonesia and experts have said they don't expect real fundamental change in world politics. it is clear now with arcus, at that in that australia has clearly placed itself in the rivalry between china and the u. s. on the u. s. site. and so the message really here is that they want to convey to indonesia that indonesia remains an extremely important partner in this new situation, as well as with the aim to maintain peace in the pacific region. care of matters did others. asia pacific bureau chief in jakarta, thank you so much for joining us today. and that's it for today's show. there's more from the region on our website, the devil dot com, forward slash asia as ever. you can follow us on facebook and twitter back to more of the same time. we'll see you then to by just go to use it. i'll say we're grateful for law has no limit. love is for everybody. love is live with love matters. and that's my new podcast. i'm evelyn char, mom and i really think we need to talk about all the topics, the north divide and denied that. and this i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an end ah, europe love to israel add the potential gas supplier. can germany's econo

u. s. dot u. s. dollar had gemini, can, can easily collapse from here. we're, we're seeing. and if we look to history and we look at japan is the model they've had 3 last decades of floundering economic policy. and what you're seeing now is you're seeing an unraveling of what too much quantitative easily easing looks like . you've seen the japanese yen drop, 23 percent sin in the past year. you've seen the british sterling drop 12 percent since the end of last year. so what you're seeing is a precipitous decline in currency values while you're seeing 20 percent inflation across the board, which is a vis rate in the consumers. so we are recession and it will probably more into depression. and what's happened with the sanctions that have never worked is you have the u. s. dollar is going to right now, it's strengthening, but, but a conjunction a bunch of a countries that has gotten together because it's not just united states versus russia as the propaganda has it. it's russia, china, india, iran, saudi arabia, u e, and a bunch of other countries that are going to d dollar eyes and go on on a quad like gold standard, which is moving in the direction that we're headed with. and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea yet if so let me ask you more or less the same question here. but, you know, mitch did a really good job in answering that. how is it structurally changing the global economy because we deem it dollarization has been mentioned here. i'm outside asset prices, which we've been watching, quantitative easing. how is that changing? and because i don't want to focus his program on sanctions, exclusively, what i want to talk about how the global economy is changing and to who is advantage actually go ahead get us off. well, 1st of all, i would agre

u. s. in looking to a cajole strong armed fine and other countries in the condemning russia. i really looks like this is back firey on the united states. i've written that said the u. s . is engaging in some rewards against russia, the proxy shadow military war in the ukraine and economic war and a propaganda war. and one lesson than i think is china's a decision to encourage peaceful supplement of this is correct. the larger geopolitical us, i think, is this again, ah, looking for conflict really is destructive and self destructive in the biden administration's framing of its, ah geo political objectives as a fight of democracies against autocracies. i think is really, again backfiring because the lesson here that is the, the biden administration was looking to administer a is that this is what happens when you engage in behavior that the world of democracy is, does not like. and therefore, other countries at fall into this camp, aj huyin, or other countries around the world, ah, should take heed. and i think in fact the opposite conclusions are being drawn now . and i think this is very ironic that these are the, the lessons that i think can be drawn from what's go
