Michelle has been bottling on the militants and local bandits for years. On friday, the military hunter named general abdulla her main shanty. As the leader of the new Transition Council says 2020 west africa has been seen military takeovers included in guinea mally. And what kind of fossil heres the material. Okay, to another headline, stories today, a war of words has erupt. Anastasia with china is Defense Ministry taking a swipe of japan for quote, threatening Regional Security and stability. It comes shortly after tokyo had branded the challenges presented by jane as unprecedented. And its great to strategic test with more on the barbs and the subtext behind them are short days when the customer, a relationship between china and japan, is approaching. Boiling point stays to japans the latest documents, which stops out their future defense plans and names. China as an unprecedented and the greatest strategic challenge to the country. Why . Or heres an excerpt from the 20 point, if we defense white paper on why tokyo things beijing is such a threats. Chinese rapidly enhancements, military capability, quotes to really and quantitatively, including nuclear and me. So for us as well continuing and amplifying its, you know, actual changes to the status quo by force and such attempts in the East China Sea and the South China Sea nonsense, according to time these officials, this made up reason for tokyo to justify its military build up to been seen vents only by peaceful japans new defense. White paper grossly interferes in chinas internal affairs. Wantonly smears china is normal, national, defense, development, and construction. And naval and air military activities deliberately exaggerates the so called china threat and creates tension in the region. The chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and Firm Opposition to this, and it has made solemn representations to the japanese side. This call is as tokyo is planning itself to significantly increase defense spending. So well take a 322000000000. 00 over the next 5 years. And this is not a new trend. The court into the chinese who claim that japan doesnt face any security threats yet. It has really increasing its Defense Budget for over a decade. Now, and this is just the tip of the iceberg to new phone, weve done some in recent years. The japanese side has continuously increased its Defense Budget, revise the defense policy, and sort of break through in military development, which is a route strong concern in the outside world as to whether its still adheres to the path of peaceful development. We urge the japanese side to our leslie, respect the security concerns of its neighboring countries. Deeply reflect on its history of aggression, stop exaggerating the security threats around it, to find an excuse for its own military expansion, and when the trust of its asian neighbors in the International Community with practical actions. China has reasons to be suspicious. The last time japan called the country a threat, it resulted in an invasion in 1931 and again in 1937, china is mentioned 64 times in this new 510 page documents which follows a brand new and controversial National Security strategy which was adopted in december no longer limits in japans use of force to self defense. Naturally, the chinese are wondering why and taking into accounts that japan has always been closer to washington while trying that, whats closer to russia. It makes you wonder, especially after jo bidens announcement that washington will be shipping 345000000. 00 in military 8 to taiwan. So washington, his army, taiwan, and was pacifists. Japan, as part of its biggest, the military build up since world war 2. And its all somehow lost as volt, because according to the white paper, china may become inspired by russia strategy in ukraine, such as russian aggression is tolerated. It could send a message with the rolling blood cation that unilateral changes to the status quo by force are acceptable in other regions as well. Include in asia. Therefore, the International Community, including japan, should never tell the rate watcher as action. Furthermore, through russias deepening cooperation with china and other factors, this may have an impact on global affairs, including the development of the strategic competition between the United States and china and its impact on age made. So for its part phrases, japan for being the alliances closest partner, i am, faith, tokyo forward supports of ukraine, while expressing concerns about time those heavy military build up. Well, no surprises there. Rather another case of dish i boot with potentially devastating the facts because as history taught us, nothing good can come from such significant military expansion. In addition to words of support and encouragement from nato, mixed in with substantial military 8th from washington. As some have said before, its a classic recipe for disaster. Well, we got some reaction to development from political level listen regional blogger, alex reporter, fee, who says he doesnt see any reasons for tokyo to view badging as an immediate challenge. I think the end of japan is trying to look out for its best interest itself and also partnering with United States over the last 3 or 4 decades. Its very common for japan to have this very antique china tone. Of course, china is building up its military presence as it should as a to solve a nation. But when were dealing with japan, well, japan is probably looking for uh, i would say more new weaponry from United States to, you know, bring its military up to speed. I dont think it can really say that china is a threat in the region. It just those statements alone is disco. Ludicrous . Yes. This is japan. Kinda throwing up the flags saying, look at us. Were in a vulnerable position yet. Not one instance has happened between these nations in decades. Its just, you know, beating the drums and potentially trying to, uh, you know, gives us more excuse to arm tie one, which i think is japans kind of, well will say it to maybe there ultimatum here. Gotta remember, china has not been in a complex since 1979. This military may be on tested here in china, but i can guarantee you that it is well equipped. It hasnt had to be in part of a conflict and need to spend billions of dollars preparing for what potentially lead to be one major conflict coming up in the near future. The possibility of the west separating trade ties with china is nothing but another illusion. Thats the assessment of the french finance minister who receives the level of dependence on certain imports. Its just too high. What totally opposed to the idea of the copland . The copland is an illusion. There is no possibility of having any kind of the coupling between the American European and chinese economists. Dear is convinced that we want to be more independent. We realized with the cold with crushes that we have too much dependence on some very specific components will administer his remarks came in an interview following comments from a few other western states about limiting their dependence on aging as a trading partner and made security concerns. The youth recently put forward a plan designed to cut dependency on chinese imports in areas such as critical rule materials, Digital Technologies and health. But minneapolis believes such a move is wishful thinking. With asian, currently europes largest import partner was good to hear the thoughts of the big issues of the day from senior fellow at that time. The institute think tech, i know our time getting youre most welcome to the program. So we have a comment from the french finance minister, believing the coupling from china is an allusion. Is it to oh, yes, its just the china is markets are one issue and then also the production. But what you are seeing is that this is a 2 edged sword. Theyre also saying that theyre concerned about the relationship with the United States. Quite frankly, what youre seeing is the french being very realistic and saying that theyre going to do what is necessary to maintain trade with both the us and china and not get caught between them. In essence, not giving it into washingtons desire for them to be all in one way or the other. If youre up to call them, is currently as reliant on china as the minister mix side on there are efforts to try and approach that. What impact would they coupling, or at least the, the, the, the attempt to do that have on, on the country. So well to be disastrous, especially for out of the country like germany, which is already going into recession. They are very, very export oriented, but it would also affect france and many of the other nations in terms of market access. And youll note that just recently when bruno la marie was in china, he was talking about the additional access for french companies, not limited. So, you know, at this, the other end of this is that the cost of trying to reproduce what china does would be um, astra article. It would lead to increased inflation printed. They would have to rec protection as barriers. This would lead to, you know, a Global Financial and trade meltdown similar to what happened during the crash of 1929 and the aftermath of that. So its not realistic. They understand that, but there has to be adjustments made so that countries can trade freely with both china and also the United States. But we did see it come to a head during cold bits to a suppose a lesser degree with the ukraine conflict. The supply Chain Disruption and a call from at many countries, citizens of those countries saying that we need to create more in our own countries, get those industries that have died before get them back on their feet and perhaps reducing dependency. Not the coupling, but reducing dependency is perhaps one way to do that is there, is there a difference between those 2, the coupling and reducing dependency that could happen as well . It does not so much about dependency. The idea that youre going to create that factor it uses uh that can produce masks when you need them. Then most of all them, its very expensive. Its much better to have uh, existing industries that have the economies of scale produce these. Otherwise, youre just increasing the costs of what it is at 1st, because you have to build these factories benmark model, and then you have to restart them. And theyre not going to have to kind of economies of scale as i said, that will make them competitive. So, you know, if you do believe in the market venue, you understand that its just, its just not feasible. These countries, as i said, are just simply trying to figure out how they can trade in a world which is now multi polar with one nation. The United States, which is insisting on trying to maintain as much jeremy as a can you know, francis not interested. Uh, the global south is not interested in increasing that youre going to see other countries, especially in europe, who are just saying, look, you know, the Economic Times are tough. Us is the one benefiting. We need to look out for ourselves, just to pick up on that on something you said earlier. I know if i could, the you, the us, theyve really viewed china as their main opponent in the economic sector. But do you get a sense that line is softening from, from europe . And if it is, how does that going to go down in washington so . Well, i dont think europes objection to china is as serious as the us, the us is trying to maintain. Its a jeremy europe is trying to just tread water. Theyve had a very difficult time. They have a long period of very low growth. Theyre trying to figure out what the future is. They have to, you know, address issues about Food Security and also energy because of the loss of Russian Energy and how they can find some way of manufacturing where their industries are at a disadvantage the u. S. Which is now at the point where it sells gas at 3 times the price that the domestic us domestic consumers use to europe. It just makes them uncompetitive. So, but dont look for this in the among the leads. If change is going to calm, its going to come from the voters. They are quickly becoming fed up with this idea that money is being poured out to other all places in the world and that costs are increasing while their wages are not. And they will be the ones who will decide who the governments are, and thats how, you know, things will change or always be an ideological elements, much stronger in the us than europe. But at the end of the day, you know, practicality, trump is all about top notch, and all this is as always, we appreciate your time in the program today. Senior fellow at the aging base tie, he institute, i know our tongue in many things and youre not at something related to the conversation that you use. Introduced new regulations intended to reduce the pendency on mineral imports from outside the block. Unvil instead tried to source more of them from within that could have a big impact on exports from a wide range of african countries. Former statistician general of south africa, probably less of plus fears. It could significantly affect global trade prices. The. Yeah, to me the constraints, the fast these that the cheap materials thatd be good for offered for what i forgot. If they dont accept i x boards will not be available to them. So that prize level in this is to be with right . So to magic, got a 2nd thing is that did the consumption market that they used to have this africa, we will disappear because relative to the price level of use, i forgot that at exports very much more expensive, but we have you as a market, its quite a big market, the decipherable market and the advance to worry about it. We get brody and everything, but they, they have an asian population. The reach then works. I gaze them in terms of our consumption of losing services. And they cannot that easily be best the that you did, you 8 that they have. So you dont have a few t as a best strategies, not going to way its more intuitive. Started you out of um, the, and the send you the correction or the nation correction. But it was, we had to take you to another 50 or 60 as a for it 1st the nations eh, you of, we lose in order that you will lose sitting. Okay, lets turn attention now on the program to the frank conflict where they security situation to run. Europes Largest Nuclear power plant is said to remain tents. The kremlin has worn, the key of may tried to attack beat. This approach you facilitate while ukraine claims russia has wired, pumped with explosives, Something Else to thats raising the current tensions, rushes saves you printing and surveillance. Drones have recently been seen in the area. The spike keeps tightened. Stop most of those threatening the whole of europe with alleged plans to destroy the plant. A recent visit to the sides of the u. Ns, Atomic Energy watchdog fund, no explosives there. Since russia took control of it in march last year, it was partly shut down for safety reasons. Overlapped cartridge from the russian Nuclear Power plants operator russian or the lots on the leads, the accusations against most of or simply politically motivated. A way of doing, you know, lets use case you get any accusations of the Russian Federation has attacked the separation Nuclear Power upon a known since accusing us of creating a dangerous r. And as a show of obvious political bias, the desire of the United States to create a source of universal evil from russia, as well as a line to misinform the wild community. They have a double stand is 1st of all, of course, the americans and your software is from the same thing. This is part of the state philosophy. They do not know how to do things differently. The task is to not solve problems, but to generate them. This is why they behaved like this. They already made the threat to nucleus safety in the context on feasible region. Nuclear power plants is the key every gene and those who script and direct the actions of it. But key as long before the military operation was launched is not a subject. And this is one of the main problems of such a Long Development to this complex because it is the United States and you are the ones that are interested in this conflict, deepening and continuing for as long as possible. In general, we understand and support the i a e as proposal to create the security side. How it will be implemented is another mass of one of the principles voiced by the i e, a secretary general that no shots should be fine at a Nuclear Power plant. Is correct. Another thing that is unfortunately without International Legal mechanisms to implement this principle, it turns into nothing more than a good wish. Therefore, the absence of these legal principles gives rise to risk because raising the issue of weakening the combat protection of the physical perimeter of the plot will automatically create additional threats. The nucleus security. Of course, any of the witnesses, a weakening will be instantly used by those who organize all these terrible experiments with the Nuclear Power plant, taking into account and assaults. Hillary shilling attempts to commit sabotage. And all of the actions ended undermining nuclear safety. And the Russian Federation is responsible for when you get to safety at the plant, you do not shoot yourself in the 1st. We will not agree to any decision that will be detrimental to the Russian Federation.

Let me Say Something that you never heard to republican member of congress say in the 4 years of the trump administration, which is that of hunter bite and broke the law. He should be prosecuted if he treated on his fathers influence. He should be held accountable for that. Was the claims against hunter bible range from tex evasion, to illegal arms possession well with soap. The words have been keeping up the dish, the dirt on his business dealings.

It looks like it was quite a circus at the, the, the Court Hearing this past week where, um essentially, you know, a 100 binding goes into court, expecting to just, you know, have a simple pre deal thats been worked out. And you really are suspicious because as you know, as we know, the d o j basically works for his father has provided. And so that, you know, were suspicious of what kind of sweetheart plea deal. But the judge said no, i dont, i dont think this this deal works and i dont think you guys have really worked this out. So she basically squashed the police deal. And then you know, ads are played not guilty. So were going to see, i think this could be very interesting because if there is tax evasion and a drug, i dont know how that that drug use fixed factors into it. But the weapon discharge as well. I mean, all these things can, you know, can come up and really buy him, but not just him. Obviously his father is a comedy. Its dark comedy. Like, uh, you know, robert davi, the movie. I think it was called the my son hunter. I think its, its out its, uh, you know, its pretty, pretty decent little in the film about some of these things. Some of these scandals are covered in there. So he did it in the set tier. I could dar comedy way because he kind of feel for hunter in a way like this guy really is. Now what a disaster this crack smoking guy in his fortys and ok up with his brothers ex wife and having children with women is even though i mean its, its sad. Hes a character.
