however, you know, west is still very important. but at the end of the game, you know, less than you want to. each has always been heavily reliant on importing energy to a certain extent of, you know, raw materials even for this along and those other things that basically russia has being proven provider of these commodities in the global market, especially saving the needs of europe. and i believe that the sanctions coming from the country, which is basically the experience sanctions lot south 2030 years back. i do pay the recall those those times as a terry it's very uh, you know, for the laddies down, so my country, but at the same time, uh, we saw the dfcs connect to the really the web say um, that's the mantle for the small economy. but for the logic on them, you're like, like, for instance, rush raise today like a full board, was started a $6.00 to you as dollars and with the structure of the economy, which russia has and with the, and very low level of f. 2, g, d, p, which russia has. and also let's say the surplus tre. bell

they were in the west. the would do is people, the role, stones, family, etc, who provided a lot of the money in the beginning to buy outlines to support these right, these states. and that continues today. obviously, as i said, the special help from the united states and be your and security council or with the military supplies, etc. i mean b is really proctor. it started perhaps as a and is really initiative, but the wave survives and the way the, you know, brabs land of other nations. i mean, wouldn't be, it'd be possible without the west of other things. so no of course, no, because it is supported with a lot of money and we've got a tree support from the west. we give way from bottom billions of pounds to israel and ministry support. it's protected specifically from the united states and is going that every single. yeah, yeah, of course a wouldn't be able to survive without that lifeline. i think, you know, is riley is one of the top beneficiaries of aids from the united states. of course, i can speak

and here we have west point. but an interesting between the two institutions, jefferson wants them to be scientific in their character jefferson is not interested in imparting religious education. right many of our early university were founded to train ministers places harvard and yale divinity schools. jefferson wants science, wants knowledge. he wants humanistic pursuits. and so a young man who goes to west point becomes one of the best trained engineers in the country at this period, at this point, they take a five year course. they do science, they do languages they do literature. they do watercolor, they do horsemanship. what haven't i mentioned? they learn tactics until their fifth year, right? it's four years of well-rounded scientific education and, then a fifth year where you actually learn how to be a soldier just in case it might come. but in reality, they're being trained as engineers. and so if you wanted to an engineer, you wanted to go west point and then at west point, if you really distinguish y

it's not against the west. it's known the west because it is, it is out for itself and its own interest. let me put a point to though, is there a fee or that there's, there's a tipping point. if more and more countries join up that dilute the group, think because there's so many interest coming to play at once is now the fear of, of the balance with which is being so potent, often all with bricks. that if more and more keep joining, there's an issue there. i don't think there are any fear. i think here is a specific feature of western and narrative. sure there are some pressing concerns . so for example, the criteria for expansion are really being considered and discussed because initially breaks was created by very powerful countries, countries that can afford that own autonomy, that own sovereignty in the international politics, india or china, you know, who in the south africa, nobody tells him what to do, but now more and more of middle sized countries wanting to join on some of those countries. you know, t

rather than with the west. it seems to me that their view of things is if you are not with us, you are against us. you cannot be basically neutral. you could also have these uh, dies with the various in 42 centers, all of our globally plans. but you need to be basically part of just one club. and i do not see that it's a good option for many countries. i do know that it's may be a lot another good option for my country, but i see also that a large company like india also doesn't live that's added to that many others. you know, the, so you know, this type of the 3 ballistic way of thinking do you need in global domain? i don't believe that there is of the, you know, price here. truthful that's and breaks is basic, any given us a different approach that i believe is, is a more rational one. well, to some extent in different but a on the other side is also very similar to what i'm the west advocate of in the past because breaks is a fairly loose organization and it stands by supervisors. like, for example, practic

the west, but beyond it. you know, financial institutions, de dollarization and you know, i, i'm always the, the, i'm countered by quote, the dollar is a safe, a currency. and i said, well, if you're a foreign country and you have dollars or a company, you can face sanctions. and i think this is what's given the, the breaks the impetus because, i mean, if they, they still venezuelan of gold, they still russian assets. they can steal your assets to. i mean, if, if this isn't a call for greater unity and breaks, i can think of a better one. go ahead and new delhi the right to. oh, in fact, i think that's something that the nation president fulton also raised the bridge to do the dollar lies to, to challenge the huge many of the rest and a banking system. and we've seen what happened with sift which was supposed to be a nonpartisan group, but, but it was a recognized against a construction brand so, so that really is a challenge. but you must also be mindful of the fact that the us dollars to accounts for almost

the west. anything else? you has no notes that it's goodness, freeze georgia's accession essentially. and to join the you, we have directly addressed this information narratives us pressed by the georgia actors. we have trust the georgia you extension process is currently the fact to house it as a direct result of the steps taken by the georgian government. i will suggest that the crowd is much smaller than bill and the opposition were suggested that they were gonna have the surgeon i suggested $10000.00 security present august 2016 when the physician also rejected the drain. it seems the show has been put on essentially for the west and backers to show that we're not going to take this line down despite the fact that they've lost the poll, add to a very big win and by the incumbent, prior to georgia, dream we're going to stay and watch as things develop, but as of now it's peaceful here in tbilisi. what's holding us? well, breaking news story is ready. parliament has post a bill to bomb the un

note with the threats of the west. again, you know, the, the, the collective west is at war in one form or another with russia. it's better to stand together than stand alone. and i think that's a message of, of the last 2 years. go, i think the grad phrases. it's better to do that if, if you don't hang together, you'll hang separately. right? um yeah, i mean there, there is other things i'm, i'm a part of them. i'm a senior fellow at the tire institute. we hold a civilization for them and we've done this for the last 10 years and that's exactly what we're talking about is the kind of communication that is necessary. the confusion said we're blessed with 2 years and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we say. and that applies to china as well as other countries to china. it has a, you know, a primary trade relationship with 140 countries. unfortunately, the chinese know very little about the countries there, there it's improving as fight finance. i are, sorry. i have to, i have to jump in here. we're going

we live in west virginia.and we should take care of our kids in the best possible manner. i think we reach agreement on that. and so there have been challenges for a number of years. i know the legislature has been slowly trying to address some of those changes, but i think that this is an area that's really going to benefit from a lot of the auditing the performance reviews. and i think steve would agree with this to be able to find the right people. this is such an important area and the people who work in cps and foster care. these people are one of some of the dedicated state workers you're ever going to find. i know in the attorney general's office because we have dhr and lawyers, they're some of the lowest paid people. we don't control that. you actually have to be competitive. we have to have the right people and make sure that the kids are being looked out for. so i want to make sure we're taking care of the kids. there are a lot of important ways that we do that. i think we can find a lot more efficie

we have spoken to our reporter from the gaza strip and in this case let's go over to the occupied west bank and occupied ramala to get an idea from our reporter there as to what uh uh may transpire today and what uh the occupied west bank is facing which unfortunately has been an onslot of heavy violence by the regime forces especially when it comes to the refugee camps.ahmed is a correspondent there uh who reports for us and joins us now ahmed welcomes taking a look at today it's a very significant day um and you have been active uh with the reports that you've given us, covering the different aspects there in the occupied west bank. what uh are we looking at today? have you had a chance to actually see any incoming news as to what uh may transpire today in terms of the at least the palestinians and basically overall what the sentiment is after watching this genocidal onslot uh to transpire over the past year? yes, well today is not different very much from the last year as the iof has... started raiding the entire west bank since the hours of the night, we are talking about in extens

when the west of the west mode is overrun, they became very restrict. if you either with me or against me, the west is asking more and more from the rest of the world while it is. yeah, offering less and less. so that's one of the questions i asked the guess just said what makes it different from other blocks? we saw, for instance, the european union started as a trading block. that's great idea across europe. no, it's primarily political. it has to be that suits are equally political, right. so that the difference is clear here with breakfast and it's not ideal that he is not being pushed absolute. pam, if you look at all the reasons west and elections and the issues that dominate the discussions, they, they're all about ideology. what happened to practical concerns of the people, you know, the roles, the bridges, the schools, the, you know, educational system in a way it's written, not what is taught, but how it's wrong. and that's going to be a focus of breaks and breaks is almost exclusively focused on development. i mean, and not only of the russia

all right, i mean when we look at the overall situation that has been taking place on the west bank,ldn't go to work, tell me the overall situation right now, well the overall situation over here is increasingly difficult and it is actually very hard for palestinians over here in the west bank, let us just categorize what these difficulties are, talking let's talk start talking about roads and and and ways and moving around the west bank it is extremely difficult to move from one city to another. as the checkpoints over here, the the iof has raised the checkpoints from 200 checkpoints to to 722 checkpoints around the west bank, these checkpoints does not only represent represent like obstacles to towards movement, but they represent death, they are represented as death traps and they are represented as where a place and a obstacles where palestinian people spend hours. long hours each day going in and out of of city, going to work or going to school or to university or to do anything, uh, going to a checkpoint is like going through hell for here over here for palestinians, as the iof

it's the west for the west to deal with the consequence. i almost on real time works on it as, as the brick summit in cars on went on headlines in the west, almost begrudgingly saying that yes bricks is here. it's here to stay. it's potent to just look at the guess on the in attendance on that attempt to to put brush it into a corner to make sure it's not a mere putting isn't help. well, from what we've seen in cars on how will that argument be frame next kind of keeps saying that as well. i think one of the issues i take with west framing is that it has to be always about the west. even if we don't like what the russians doing, it's doing that in order to counter there was nobody there is actually thinking about the west. so like, let, let's take that western focus away from here, and it's not thinking about why you may put in, it's not about the russia, and ultimately it's not about breaks. it's about a new way of relating that's emerging in the world. it's about respecting your neighbors understanding that their prosperity, that developm

— west bank? it is an open question _ west bank? it is an open question in _ west bank? in the west - west bank? it is an open l question in the west bank. israel has become more aggressive as we have seen with recent stra kes. aggressive as we have seen with recent strakes. in the pastor was working with the palestinian authority to believe much of the area and now operations have disbanded the palestinian authority. in gazais the palestinian authority. in gaza is notionally trying to destroy hamas and is certainly backin destroy hamas and is certainly back in the organisation, but it is unclear how much more israel can do that will make a difference and israel needs to think hard about what happens nextin think hard about what happens next in gaza and it doesn't appear to have done so. thank ou, appear to have done so. thank you. daniel- — appear to have done so. thank you, daniel. daniel— appear to have done so. thank you, daniel. daniel byman, . you, daniel. daniel byman, senior fellow at the centre for strategic and international studies. around the world and across

west dominates of alliance. a part in the states is it shows that actually it's true. return may conditions where it's can you imagine if um it's took, jo going to, you know, to toyed like to, if they want to buy russian weaponry. for example, on something maybe us because we're not going to give you the assets 6 point to just going to cut you off from that technology. so it seems that they were just, they did something which they did exactly. so trust seems to be most of the last that also just amounts to ex cosivity. yeah. well, this is what, this is what we bricks it, it goes up against it's, it's the show that those, those are, those preconditions don't exist. and there's a recognition of the culture, the and the, and the respect for the internal affairs of other countries without someone like us coming in and tell in other countries how to run their own business. but this is what the people are really upset about. other countries are and it's, it's, and if you don't do it our way, then we're going to sancti

back and the west bank. but they, the biggest defeat has been the holocaust itself. this janice hyde has demolished and then they treated me see in the eyes of so many people who in the past complacently thought that it was a legitimate regime. now people are looking their reading history. they're seeing the facts and the regime has, has become a hated and despised colony in the eyes of people from far off from west asia on north africa. and i think that is ultimately what's going to destroy the regime more than the defeats that it's facing on the borders and 11 on or, and guys, or in the red sea. well, mohammed you are the god father of the of the, the, of the conversation of resistance. you are your very much needed sammy, you know, we've had in the re and the last new cycle is real outlined only. uh, i mean it, the, the, the iron near but all is real, creates a, i'm sorry, the united nations creates is real, but it is real voids on. right. i mean, that is so easy for people to understand all over the worl

here you have west point. they have a portrait of thomas jefferson smile as he really distrusted the military. was there a question? excellent. please shout them out. jefferson, at the same time, he creates west point. he creates a military peace establishment. so this is their compromise. they have to put in protections to make sure that the army does not become a threat to the federal government. and in that act that establishes west point, jefferson also establishes a corps of engineers be established to train loyal, expert engineers, and so they did not have to employ engineers from those foreign lands. and this is that logo. the patch of the army corps of engineers to this day. so if you see an engineer with this patch, he is an army engineer. army engineers and always have been and will be critical to america in times of war or in times of peace. army engineers, i am going to talk about exploring today, but they also build bridges, reroute rivers, help survey and plot canals, and make the infrastructure

but it's not designed and controlled by the west and the less control from the west. the better it can be. i think all of you have and 1st of all, let me let me think of michael panelist from china for the compliment and thank you for watching of us both. um you've all very, very comprehensively and convincingly argued that the rest and media and shows that we, i'm sorry, we see each other to filters. um that that's q our understanding of each other in the global south. uh and, and within the bricks grouping. and that needs to change and media to be able to speak for ourselves to each other and can read the message directly. and that's very, very important. and yes, it does not. so the rest to talk about our v margins because that's not a narrative that suits them and for us, for decades, the other ones will set the narrative it's, it's important to change that it does not happen overnight, but it will happen with the concerted efforts from all sides so, so that of having said that, i also want to bring in here be the point that live the rest of the problem all within

it is clear that the west wants to save face the west count like in afghanistan. you remember how the americans were lambasted when their supporters dropped to the ground clinging to the plains. they can't believe it like that. they promised vladimir zalinski to give certain gifts in the form of weapons, ammunition, and to help ukraine until as i say, the last ukrainians they want to save face. now finally, to wrap up, i think it's fair to say that what we're seeing here at the security conference in minutes, the same goes for the recent rich summit didn't because on end the recent shanghai cooperation organization summit in fact us then the world is calling for change, it's a rating for change. anything need of a system which would guarantee you be equal spread off technologies, benefits, resources, and wealth. and of course, security we've worked with all of our t reporting from a hungry is foreign ministers among those who is attending that of the conference. so you know, it's pretty much known for not biding his time. if he does so you have to he gave comments

i believe it's also the west or phrase. that's what you get is what your dad. so i guess it's not much a surprise the west increasingly finds itself in a minority. nevertheless, this is all we have time for. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for the by the way. thank you. and thank you for watching hope to center again on a well as a part of the the, what is part of the, the employee would posted isn't the defense you of us and building the word? or is it something deeper, more complex might be present there? let's stop without keesha's desktop product. as the this election can not be recognized, because it's the recognition of russia's incursion, georgia's subordination to russia. george's opposition president accuses moscow of meddling in the parliamentary election as the pro western politician rejects the ruling parties. victory also ahead the at least 9 people are reported killed the latest is rarely striking on the school building used as a shelter for displaced palestinians and gods and, and the stories that shaped the weak apartm

turning around a lot of things from changing the west. you know, we're located from the edge of utah from the southeast europe. we will always and we were always aspiring towards european values, you know, the, the, the, the liberal society with human rights. uh then you know, democracy uh, in uh, you know, wilted countries with good living standards and so on. there was a lot of attractiveness and there was a, i would say, a higher level of the intention to be fair or even international relationship. i mean, we do is the recall and the 19 eighties and the beginning of the 1990s. you know, it wasn't a surprise to see and see a politician was talking about the unified media and you know, sphere of cultivation from uh, you know, uh less than 2 lovely balls stuck and so on and so forth. and unfortunately through that, and so to say romantic periods has a, you know, cease to exist during the ninety's. and i see that the prevailing policies nowadays in, in the western world, sometimes basic, came to mind the core values that they have been adv

i'm here in the west in the east. yes. the support service. do you know what the brand number of gates advanced fargo? no, i just got here. oh is this my 1st time here? i am. i actually did not know you a couple. it's a symbol of germany's reunification, though it is because so the ammonia is exactly. oh, very good. the one of the obligatory sites in berlin connected with its division in the fall off, the wall is obviously check point shortly. it can hardly be missed with all the tourists and how about the around it. the visa, large form of photos, summarize the most important points about the form of border crossing or east and west faced off, told her to under high attention. i continue on our request for traces of germany's division along the berlin wall. it's fall in 1989. what's the 1st big step toward reunification? an impressive frederick is the longest section of the berlin wall, still standing in the east side gallery a few weeks after the fall off the wall, $118.00 artists from 21 countries and gathered to paint this section. the pic

bank, the west bank is the secret that will lead to the very destruction of the zionist regime, and we have seen how the islamic jihad has spread its influence across the west bank in the past few years. we've seen how the resistance factions in the west bank have really strengthened, this is something that we had. seen before, most leaders of the resistance from the west bank are either martered or they are imprisoned for years and years, but now we see the janin brigade, we see the karam brigade, we see the lions den and we see that the younger generation in the west bank they have marters like shaheed ibrahim nabilsi to look up to, so this is danger, how do you how does the solution of the zionist? to curb the sentiments of palestine, to curb the sentiments of those who want a revolution and who want to resist is is basically to carpet bomb an entire group of people. this is not strategic, this is a non-strategic move, nowhere in the world have be seen an aerial force gain victory. you need. ground, you need victories on the ground, which designist has consistently failed. now we

what was the west marriage? and the rejection to over uh, west and aggression. what's both a low congress, i was what the gorge has just said about in general, but probably with that, then you have why you with a is the best. why? she's because she is very cool. that's no use in existence contradicts the west. i'm never good because what, how with codes from the west of the last few days before and all that. yeah, you're on. is that there? oh, this is an unprovoked attack. it goes, but he's real. you know, we've heard that before. uh, russia's approval at the cookies to grade. these are believe the why you know, just look at your own use papers. oh, deal. last row i was problem is late and now i old rock courtyard. is my you crimea, will the 32. 0, take your narrow, is it so it's denied or use facts the in deem it to be fair. i mean, around is not killing leaders in, in israel, or anywhere else in the world, even though it's called be, you know, the, the center of a level terrorism, georgia. well, i, i couldn't find it anywhere all the time here, a homeless here

bank when the settlements of the west bank the airports and the military basis in the west bank and around jerusalem made all of these muslim people palestinian muslim peoples and christians celebrating there is there is revenge at least against the the the... ination and the killing or the assassination as well of the the sayid shuhada we call uh and the same when you see in the north in the middle in tel aviv after the operation which the the killed nearly eight zionist entity people in there uh when gun men open fire on them and then this launch launching in them and seeing the videos of netanyahu as well. running in jerusalem into a bunker under the ground in jerusalem, all of that is is is not just a game changer, it's a psychological shock for them is to emphasize that the palestinian resistance who unleashed the flood of alaxa and and shock them and made their people run from the the settlers from their colonis around gaza run and the same thing from the 8th of october the lebanese resistance bushed this settlers out of their colonies in the north of palestine, these things y

the west, but beyond it. you know, financial institutions, de dollarization and you know, i, i'm always the, the, i'm countered by quote, the dollar a is a safe, a currency. and i said, well, if you're a foreign country and you have dollars or a company, you can face sanctions. and i think this is what's given the, the breaks the input this because, i mean, if they, they still venezuelan of gold, they still russian assets. they can steal your assets to, i mean it, this isn't the call for greater unity and break. so i can think of a better one, go ahead and new delhi the right to. oh, in fact, i think that's something that the nation president fulton also raised the pitch to the deed, authorized to, to challenge the huge in many of the rest and a banking system. and we've seen what happened with sift which was supposed to be a nonpartisan group, but, but it was a recognized against a construction brand so, so that really is a challenge. but you must also be mindful of the fact that the us dollars to accounts f

if the west susmcts _ best interest. if the west suspects that, _ best interest. the west suspects that, they are i best interest. if the west| suspects that, they are in best interest. if the west - suspects that, they are in good majority with many of israelis who support an independent commission and inquiry. there been families who have held demonstrations and calls for this time after time. that is one thing that is a consensus in is really society but for very obvious reasons, the fact it is the biggest security reit breach in israeli history, the greatest carnage and greatest number of casualties, but it is no secret that netanyahu is not doing that for his own purposes and another thing we know from polls is that a majority, ovaries —— over 60% of israelis believe that benjamin netanyahu was decision—making is done by his wanting to stay in power. that includes things that wanted to avoid a hostage deal regarding a cease—fire, and replacing his defense minister. israelis think is decision—making in general is affected, certainly and possibly driven by his
