u. s. i think they're quite open about that. worry as well as to worry about the iraqi population wanted the u. s. troops out as well as a little bit worried about keeping u. s. troops in neighboring syria, which are, they're justified by the same mission as protecting civilization from isis or dash . and uh, there may be a debate and a vote in the u. s. congress, at least in the house, to morrow on ending u. s. war making in syria, and so there is a need to, to prop that justification up to insist that the u. s. is there not because of some 20 years ago disastrous war, but because of a more recent successful, victorious defense of civilization against barbarians in both iraq and syria? this is, you know, this is the story they want told. now you mention there that the iraqi government, right, it is standing because of the support it has received from the u. s. and it has that requirement for continuous support. arguably, in your opinion, do you see that continuing in the years to come? especially when taking into consideration where the people of the country actually stand and the fact that

u. s. wants is where to continue and wants to go on for as long as possible, because they have no interest in protecting ukraine. they instead wanna sacrifice ukraine, have ukraine destroyed in order to advance what they think is the united states political interest geopolitical interest of weakening russia. and the way to do that is to use ukraine as a pawn kill as many ukrainians as possible, destroyed their whole country if they have to do in order to prolong the war as long as possible. and the response of the u. s. government is defenders has been we don't have any position about when the war ends that's completely up to the ukrainians when they want to end the war, bacon and the war if they don't, will support them. and the light just got revealed. if you listen to what john kirby said, they asked him, are the ukrainians willing to have a ceasefire? and he said, not only won't they, we won't allow it either, essentially admitting finely. what's wrong been obvious of the country funding the war, providing the arms for the war, which is united states determines if and when the war ends

u. s. wants to do or to achieve in the world and focus has been in investing in the continent, which obviously means that the u. s. is trying to restrain thing i will strengthen, is presence on the continent. something that has diminished by a few years ago because of the presence of china and even rush are coming in recently. so what she had to do a one is to ensure that africa says, hey, i've a very important partner in this kind of relationship you want to create with a continent. let's have a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. mainmast military genta has been marking the armed forces de troops paraded through the capital navy door to commemorate the founding of the country's army. during world war 2 from ivy military ceased power and imprisoned, elected officials following a q and 2021. hundreds of fire fighters in eastern spain are battling the 1st major wildfire of the season. some 1700 people have been forced to flee the fire which began on thursday and anew the dry winter in southern europe has raised concerns about a repeat of last year's devastating fines.

u. s. want to make sure that russia and europe did not come together . europe, manufacturing prowess with rushes, resources would have been, i threat to us gentlemen, economically. so unfortunately, what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic. the ukranian government has given an ultimatum to christian clergyman at a prominent orthodox monetary and key f. the monks must either align with a state supported patriarch or be banished from the premises. i'm convinced the situation will drastically change when the citizens leave the monastery. i believe the collaborative worker specialists and law enforcement officers will motivate that decision. process expressed support for the religious members of the key monastery after moscow's patriarch carrillo drew attention to the issue. at the pope said that the fighting between ukrainian or russian forces should not impact holy relics. i think about the orthodo

want that. i did this may backfire just to as the, the iraq war back fired on the u. s. policy aims a, you know, they of course, wanted tens of thousands of troops permanently there. they wanted iraq as a base for attacking a number of neighboring countries. i but they the, the goal in terms of u. s. propaganda at the moment, which may have little to do with his visit. he's visiting his pet dictator in jordan and various other countries on this trip. ah, he is to portray the war on iraq as a victory as a success. 20 years later. this is what we're now being told in u. s. media that this was a success because there was a serge how however, that logic works. i and, and of course it can't be a success without permanent u. s. troops in iraq. so they've got to stay there. keep up states now the latest news updates it by taking our website, r t dot com. thank you for choosing marcy international. ah, [000:00:00;00] a with western capitals in the reply and corporate media continued to maintain the west is not at war with russia. however, the fact is, nato is a co belligerent, su

u. s. want to abandon the original system on original world order economic order in particular. now, one china can do because china hassling, free writing for so long. therefore, sanctions will heard china quite a lot. but china tried very, very hard and us, i will say, start 10 years ago, at least russian for we start even earlier d dollarization, this one, you know, concepts or russians have done wonderful it, by the way, the central did not destroy rubel the price to everybody in the west, china will move in the same direction country. they are selling massively to u. s. and eventually will make r and b, you know, the more important international currency. so they are preparing the words and at this moment, sanction, still working well to be able to damage chinese economy. but chinese are one they know that takes a glove oh now. so to speak, less row, you know, less, less fine. if he, if you want to, because you know, say soccer quite a lot as well with these sanctions. well, not those who have a jazz in arms companies, arguably china, obviously, you're right, you're right. a

u. s. wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together. europe manufacturing prowess with rushes, resources would have been i threat g u. s. gentlemen, economically, so unfortunately what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic, allows you drippings trip to moscow wrapped up on wednesday. so here's our t correspondent, shade bows on the atmosphere surrounding the 3 day visit. interestingly, president, she chose moscow for his 1st visit after his initial appointment, his present, it was really marked his visit has been the warmth with which the 2 men have greeted each other. how they've addressed each other throughout this landmark visit . of course, a geopolitical at power house of visit, with the eyes of the world firmly our moscow. but it's been really fascinating to see how the body language between these 2 men has evolved throughout the visit. and we can have a listen to how they re

u. s. wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together. you're europe, manufacturing prowess with rushes. resources would have been i threat g u. s. gentlemen, economically. so unfortunately, what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic. they're trying as best they can to isolate both not really possible for all the reasons that my good friend action has said. what i mean as, as, as you say, we are, we are seeing the strategic partnerships not popping up just in so many parts of the world now. and it's, i mean, it's almost like a ripple effect that is starting to go around the globe as we speak and yet, well let's, let's wait for a moment. the conflict in ukraine, china has said, has come to moscow with a peace proposal to bring the conflict to a peaceful resolution. meantime, john kirby and washington saying, we are not interested in a sci fi in the ukranian conflict mediated by china. why do you think washington is openly against ending that c

u b. s. wants help from the swiss government for a possible take over. do you know what's being discussed here from what we understand from those who are close the negotiations, u. b s is offered $1000000000.00 for the take over would be an all share deal. and what it means is that basically shareholders would take a significant haircut here. $1000000000.00 means about $0.27 a share. the, the business closed area shares close at about a $1.70 on friday so you can see the kind of loss the shareholders would take. they want a 6000000000 dollars and guarantees because there are a lot of open questions around the business. i mentioned the legal troubles, the credit suisse has been in that there's a lot of money, potentially outstanding, their, their legal judgments against them, if their regulatory fines coming against them. and because the swiss government wants the steel to go forward because they have their foot on the gas pedal here, it's likely that u b. s will get a better deal than not. but there probably will also be pushback from credit suisse on the

u. s. want to abandon the original system on original world order economic order in particular. now, one china can do because china hassling, free writing for so long. therefore, sanctions will heard china quite a lot, but china tried very, very hard to last. i will say start 10 years ago, at least, russian probably start even early. he dollarization this one, you know, concept or rushing. sounds wonderful. it, by the way, the central did not destroy rubel. the price to everybody in the west. china will move in the same direction. eventually, they are selling massively to us and eventually will make r and b, you know, the more important international currency. so they are parallel to worse at, at this moment, sanction still working l to be able to damage chinese economy. but chinese are only gonna take that glove. oh, now, so to speak, less row, you know less. that's fine. if he, if you want to, because you know, say suffering quite a lot as well. with these sanctions. well, not those who have raj as in arms companies, arguably china, obviously. you're right. you're right. arms

u. s. wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together. europe manufacturing prowess with rushes, resources would have been, i threat to us gentlemen, economically. so unfortunately, what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic. and as of course, you know, the chinese president, eugene ping has been here in moscow for the past 3 days. he has officially gone back home, but off for a couple of days have a big business visit signing new much agreement, strategic partnerships, and economic agreements. details waiting for you on line. from the a chinese president's visit to russia is historic for a number of reasons. first to accent, the growing russia, china strategic partnership, and 2nd, to demonstrate what both countries publicly advocate the transition to a multi polar world beyond american hegemony operation. the aerodynamic began shortly after world war 2 and lost it almost 3 decades.

u. s. wants to help iraq, isn't there an element of irony in this given of the coming in a grocery of the us led invasion? of course it is actually if you just take a look at the american invasion to iraq and in a broader context. if you take a look at american involvement in the west naisha, you will see that this what, what this help literally means just take a look at the kind of son, are you a man or are the country by this though, be the this both allegations that are against iran in order for, in order for a creation of a atmosphere. envision they're, they're trying to depict a very negative picture of iran in order to justify their credit. of course, just all i wanted to move on to iran topic if i may, because it's certainly have a sickness. it's the end of a crystal under the circumstances. and we know that actually contouring. iran has been a pillar of u. s. foreign policy pertaining to the west asia, but it's still b, b, b, b, a new perspective of this hostile approach. and that is related to the negative sense that being asked is the, taking towards the employing pies between i

u. s. trails. china, when it comes to investment in infrastructure and other parts of african society, the and the u. s. wants to get involved, but at the same time, the usaa saying, but we're not asking you to choose, ignore everything else we say about china, you can do both. it's up to you. if we get involved, that's fine. we're not going to get involved in what your relationship with china and the house with a certain amount of skepticism, expressed by african leaders of this. there was certainly last december given. but most of what we have for the white house these days when it comes to foreign policy is about china. and as a recognition, when china gets involved with countries, they don't interfere in the internal affairs of individual countries. while we keep on hearing from african leaders as look, we will make a decision on whom we partner with. but that will be based on whom we decide is in our best interest. so she will assist you at the zambian historian and senior lecturer at the university of stalen bash in south africa. and he thinks the us needs to adopt a clear africa say no to disturbs, hav

u. s. wants to sanction the entire world that it's a futile struggle. george. a we're at a tipping point of some of some nature. yes, i mean there's a, there's no question. i think that i owe you the rest of the world has indeed the sad know when all guy guy come home with the sanctions, this isn't our fight. this is, you know, this is a european problem, not a global problem. you want to present as a global problem, but is clear, i mean, that the united states, particularly on the bible, who knows what, what comes of is presenting a very much a dividing line in the world. i mean, you know, biden is a very divisive president, and just as he's doing a very divisive, i think in the united states are the, you know, the, these of, of the scum, the, unacceptable. and these are the accept, or he's done much the same thing in the rest of the world. and he's saying, you know, you, you have to choose, ah, which side you're on. and it's not like is okay, fine, we'll do what we want. they're going to come at you if you don't follow the line and we go, we have the color re

u. s. and when it comes to, to iran, especially there being a lack of trust on both sides, when it comes to any type of negotiation going forward. what does the u. s. want to see from iran in order to move forward? i asked is because you mentioned robert malley earlier and one of the things that we heard from robert malley over the course of the last few months is, is there was a sense that in the, by the ministration they didn't really want to move forward when it came to the nuclear issue because of what was going on when it came to the protests in iran. right? no, i think that's definitely a factor. i mean, the sale just made the 2 points. i would have made an iran decision to start as giving drones and military support to russia makes no sense. if you believe that the radians really wanted to find a solution to this. i mean, it's not that the brand is making billions of dollars from selling these drones to direction. so you have to ask the question. if there were a serious about a nuclear deal, they would have at least told a black me or put and we might support you, but we're not going to jeopardize our nuclear talks with the west, which is exactly

u. s. wants to embargo ran isolated. but unfortunately that's having very negative economic consequences in iraq itself. and so austin's job is to somehow contain the damage and put things on a better footing and syria aleppo airport has been bombed by israel using f. 16 fighter jets damaging the wrong way on the radio. that's according to the syrian government for the smoke. the 4th israeli attack on the country since the beginning of the year. television has not yet commented on this latest strike. the moscow se c port is currently shut down as it has suffered. serious damage. officials have been forced to temporarily re route flights, carrying much needed humanitarian aid to the country. this comes a serious struggles to cope with the aftermath of last month's devastating earthquakes. and meanwhile, a top us military commander has made a surprise trip to the kurdish controlled oil, which part of serious no thief. it came without any permission from the recognized government of syria, damascus. his brother, the visit i

u. s. wants to embargo a ran isolated. but unfortunately that's having very negative economic consequences in iraq itself. and so austin's job is to somehow contain the damage and put things on better footing. so while the interest in iraq right now, because often is not the only foreign dignitary who's visited iraq, where we've had russian radiate and saudi saudi diplomats as well, visit the country. so why, why the sudden interest? well, i mean the, the person golf is always as always a trouble zone and, and u. s. policy and afghan, a stand to the north collapse ignominiously and 2021. so therefore, it created a power vacuum that, that you know, that other countries are rush to fill. so the other person golf is now and play so, so the saudis or russia, other countries are involved. that's to be expected. and austin, for his part, is doing his best to keep the u. s. the us role intact to see to it that iraq remains in the, in the american orbit, despite the immense damage is doing to the iraqi economy. and how do you thin

u. s. wanted to make sure that russia and europe did not come together, you're europe's manufacturing progress with russia's resources would have been, i threat to us gentlemen, economically. so unfortunately, what they've done is they pushed together china and russia, which is even more fearsome cooperation. and at this juncture, they're in a panic. this is r t international. and so could i have your company for this program live from moscow to a at a prayer now, which is seeking deeper ties with russia. that's the message coming from the countries foreign minister as he met with his russian counterpart hours ago in the southern russian city of sultry. he added the western partners of pitting states against each other, citing the conflict of ukraine and tensions in taiwan. as examples. let me take this opportunity to re offend me and it just principally position on the ukraine. pretext, a pretext that has said to be sacrificing ukraine and needs his pupil for the deposit, quote, quote, for the pu

u. s. want to continue. the question will be, will there be a response and just how large it will be? an alan tell us about the migration deal that the president has struck during his meeting with via canadian prime minister. well, this has been bubbling along for quite some time. and essentially what has been agreed is that the canada in the united states can now turn back asylum seekers from the very long border. remember, it's about 8800 kilometers. but there are a number of unofficial points where people have been crossing and that has one particular hot sport, even in the height of winter in quebec, at which links to, to new york and people have been crossing into canada through the united states to claim asylum they are clearly the canadians would prefer that they stayed in the united states, and a lot of these migrants are coming from central and south america. now, what canada has decided to do, along with the united states is if any one crosses the border at any unofficial point, they can be immediately sent back by the authorities. and the canadians will take on our own $150

u. s. wants to somehow contain a potential escalation that could happen during the holy month of ramadan, specifically that we know that palestinian prisoners and his really jails are planning and open hunger strike. nita, thank you for that. i did need abraham live for a say in ramallah, president vladimir putin has visited russian occupied mario pole in ukraine. the city in the dawn near screeching was annexed by moscow last year. 14 drover on several districts on saturday and was shown restoration work at a theatre and a university. his trip comes after the international criminal court issued a warrant for his arrest on the suspicion of unlawful deportation of children. stephanie deca has more from keith. the kremlin has made it very clear that they don't consider the arrest warrant by the international criminal court in any way, legal or, or valid. yasandra 23 countries can arrest a russian president if he visits there. it's certainly not going to be in crimea or maro pole which is now under russian occupation. they annexed crimea in 2014, which is why putin made his appearance there

u. s. didn't want it, and they told the european countries you're not allowed to take it. so then what happened? countries like china and india, they step in and they say, oh sure, we'll take it. we'll take it, you don't want it will take it so much for the punishment, right? so who gets hurt? americans here in the united states who suddenly saw the price of gas go through the roof. and then of course, there's this around the world oil. and just about everything else is traded in dollars, and that gives the u. s. a huge advantage economically and a lot of power. but what does that thing they say about power? with power comes, what? with power comes responsibility? now for decades, countries around the world have been okay with this system. but as more and more countries come together and try and figure out how to get around these sanctions that are, you know, hurting their economies. they then begin to ask themselves the following questions . why are we continuing to rely on the dollar if it's hurting our economy? and then they ask, what if we all were to get together and

u. s. does not want it engage in another cold war with beige angles or his words. you just saw them right there. it's important to hear the usa that, that, with any kind of certainty, because it reassures the global community. of course, as we were talking about a while ago with professor cruz nick, there's only one problem. the actions of a country are more important than the words of a country. and certainly when it comes to china, there has been, at least in of actions to make a, make a scene. if not, make it seem to make it appear to us quite clearly that there is still a cold war. start with the sanctions against the country. it's companies, it's leaders, and then add to that the military exercises and both the south china sea and in the taiwan straits and what you have, you know, looks a lot like a cold war, right. don't actions matter. the more than words, like professor said, i guess we could say that a cold war is a lot like the story about the duck. right? somebody might say that it's not a duck. and then somebody else is going to say, but wait a minute i

u. s. meanwhile, wants to band tick tock entirely if chinese and a bite dance went to divest it steak and strikes it for german airports of lead to the cancellation of hundreds of flights on friday. german union verde called on security on ground handling staff at airports in dusseldorf. cologne, bon stood group, stuttgart and bowden, bowden to strike, overpay and working conditions. in total, almost $700.00 flights with rounds, $89000.00 passengers were cancelled next, the word renewable might conjure up images of wind farms or solar panels. but what about burning trees? actually 60 percent of the ease renewable energy comes from wood and other bio mass . but around is brewing over bio energy status as an environmentally neutral source . an issue brought into the spotlight by europe's energy crisis. as europe's winter thaws, i don't firewood firms like this family business in southeast belgium would usually be winding down production that the here customer orders are still stacking up, leveled firewood sales. it usually begin in september and wrap up in february. after that, our truck wo

and did want to do what mr. brewton said. yeah, i, i think that the u. s. does want to, at the very least cripple, hobble neuter if you will russia, if it could break it apart into several more manageable pieces. absolutely, it wants to do the same thing to china, right? obviously, and to any country that it sees as a near peer competitor in the world. if regards itself as the global hedge, amman, right, the top dog and any country that could possibly rise up in power to rival that is seen as a potential threat to us prosperity, dependent on, on their being top dog in the world. and russia is once again in that category. well, what, what if, what if, what if we made the argument or not we, but i'm looking at this as a journalist and i'm saying i'm putting on my us diplomatic out here, right? i work now for the state department, and i'm gonna give you what they would probably say, which is countries like ukraine have chosen to align with the west. it's not like we're forcing them to do anything they've come to us and say, look, we want to be a part of nato. w

u. s. directly from a business point of view. like why would you want to invest in the u. s. and why say best, i mean, like, you know, work with the american currency or by american treasury's why that isn't investment in the u. s. economy, why would you want to do it? it's a bad investment. again, us is a very destructive geopolitical actor and it's a very care free want on licensure is financial actors. so it's actually a horrible, horrible bit the us we see that the u. s. is unrepentant, absolutely unrepentant. you know, i had this hope, this naive hope that after we pulled out of afghanistan, that maybe we're going to be finally a constructive actor in the international arena. and then of course, what do they do? they start to warn you crate. the u. s. is hopeless, i'm set. are you sorry to say that, but pretty much a hopeless case. and i welcome the rise of new blocks across the globe out great for the global economy arounds. foreign ministry spokesman has slammed washington for its military presence in syria just days after the u. s. conducted attacks on syrian soil that

what happens the people, the work at credit suisse, the g, b, s 5000 workers at credit suisse. 6200 u b. s. behind me. we know that u. b. s. wants to streamline its activities going forward. it wants to make, what was, what was left over of credits, where a little bit less risk. i'm a more risk averse rather. and whether that means cutting back jobs. well, this is still a very much a big question mark over that. but across the board, the feeling is this is averted, a major instability in the financial hearts like london and other centers across the europe as well. now, thank you very much indeed. that's me barbara talking to us from london. well, credit suisse isn't just one of switzerland's largest banks is also classified as a globally systemically important bank by the financial stability board. a managers around $1.00 trillion dollars around the world. its profits dropped significantly in 2022, falling nearly $8000000000.00 after losing $2000000000.00 in 2021. it shares have been in shop decline since 2021. they've now lost more than 95 percent of their value in the past 5 years. investors took their money elsewhere last wee

u. s. and the u. k. i want to just go back to the u. s. banking system for a moment. we had some interesting comments from john yellen. recently, the us treasury secretary saying the regulators aren't looking to provide blanket deposits, insurance to stabilize the u. s. financial system, do you think they are doing enough to stabilize the banks? yes, i think there, i mean, look, there's whatever you want to call them. you know, 2 weeks ago with s t b and signature, their bailouts, their back stops. and their guarantees. and you also see huge subsidies in the u. s . economy right now with the so called inflation reduction act, which is basically the green new deal. you know, that's, that's based favoring certain industries. but just creating so much liquidity. and that's really been the problem. the last 3 years, the massive increase in dollars years 40 percent more dollars in the market than there was 3 years ago. and you saw that that's really essentially what caused the problems that s v b. they weren't able to make loans fast enough, so they were buying, you know,
