A Critical Role in solving global problems. Although the president s are not go and as i said, they are being represented as a d 20. And we cannot ignore that as actual commitments of a particular country. That matters, i think, for tried at the d. 20 has long been a platform to enable leadership in action on global key issues. A definitely should not be a soon forgotten annual gathering and photo op and countries should not be forced to size this kind of platform. There is no other grouping of countries representing 2 thirds of the worlds population and almost 80 percent of global g d p. And the d 20 members collectively carry a great deal of have to and responsibility. And i think countries strictly working together on tackling global prices, sick, meaningful preparation instead of instigating fears and tensions. But they know that theyre being so many now. Some its as, as of late to show you on a, its, its kind of difficult to keep up with them all. We had the brick summit recently. We had the russia, africa as im, it is in petersburg. Weve got the call 28 summit coming up. Weve just had a Climate Conference in africa, but right now its all about the global south, other g 20, the global south really starting to stand on his own 2 feet. Its really trying to find his voice on the world stage, so to speak. What do you think when it comes to the theme of multi polarity, do you think multi polarity is truly being represented at the g 20 summit this time as well, multi polarity as the common aspiration of the majority of countries in the world. I think it is a historic trend which on a does support a multi polar world and multilateralism and in fact, trying to propose the idea of a shared future for mankind. 10 years ago it has been promoting women Cooperation Among countries under the belgian Road Initiative ever since. And the theme put forward by india at this years summit speaks about as well. One family, one world, one future. So to some extent, it shares the same idea with china vision and trying to welcome more countries from the global south 20 in the block. Youre right. Everybody is talking about the global south these days. China has declare is of wavering support for the inclusion of African Union in the g 20. It is the 1st country to explicitly support this significant endeavor because paging, genuinely believes the potential inclusion of the a. You could foster a more inclusive and Equitable International community. And Global Governance system as well. It believes the importance of having Diverse Voices and perspectives in addressing pressing global challenges. So this is one of the things that china would be watching and would love to see happening. All right, so you to, you present a, ill show you one lead, joining us by for an oil change and natural appreciate your time and your comment tree. Thank you very much. Well, thanks for joining us here on how to International Time to get back to the man in charge. Barry is you know, neil that are rooftop studio and is essentially officially the 1st day of the g 20 with lots of guests. And of course our correspondent, the engine sharma, Union Straight to of the warranty. I didnt think id be saying this, but hello from a slightly rainy to daily. And it is great to see because it has been very hot and humid the last few days. But yes indeed, the g 20 the 1st ever g 20 summit to be held inside. The agent in india has kicked off. All the news lines will be bringing them to you throughout the day. Because just to the right of my, of myself here, there is a, the summit venue itself, about 10 kilometers away. Were here in the rooftop. Were very lucky because we think delving into a number of very special gas to get their take on the novices of what is going on today i. We will be speaking to a guest in just a moment, but there is much discussion today. One of the main use lines which has emerged is whether the African Union will join the group of 20. The group of 20, just the point i 19 leading economies plus the European Union. Now african states helping say not just africa at rusher for some time. India, that representation in africa is, will fully low. And that needs to be on the agenda today on, by the end of this weekend. Significant developments in not from those 55 Member States of the African Union could be calling themselves part of the g 20 club of nations. Well, as i say, weve got a very special guest to join us here on the guest. Im. Its a familiar face to our t viewers and indeed on the website as well, who like and p writer and political commentator as you like, youre very welcome to see you. Thank you we, youve written some great articles recently. Not that was a very hard fitting one. If i can just start with that this week, for viewers can find as r t dot com and the title of it in the eyes of western media g 20 host india is still a dirty colony. Now those, those are quite hard hitting words. Can you just briefly talk you through what you mean uh the inspiration or rather the pro location for that i particularly use a report that appeared in the Washington Post and not besides, a lot of vested Media Outlets that focused mostly on in the forward to getting the um, the dirt and india and you know, what theyve done is, uh, celebrate a cd with type about the india, you know, bridges being uh, the style of a sudden reporting. As soon as the dawn of time im then its time it does to change. I bought it all, they just have to read this kind of not because we understand that. So you have to look beyond that. You find even the you have to its, its a huge country. Its a diverse country. Its a country with the poor, rich people. Its a come through with the, with all its problems, watson, dog. Its making Great Strides towards progress just on those grid strides before we get into the summit itself. So like a prime minister, moody has said a very ambitious time table by 2047. And in less than a quarter of a century, he wants india to be a developed nation. And theres already so many reforms happening at the standard of living has increased significantly. At half a 1000000 people now have Bank Accounts within the a decade. It usually takes 50 years that whats going to happen . So india as it develop nation, what are the big, the issues that needs to be resolved before that happens . I think it needs to set its uh, economics in the back. We have huge, unique qualities. Uh, economic, unique qualities. Yeah. We have to focus on uh, lifting so many more so many millions more people out the fall would be uh, we need to have our own um, a brake re, we need to be able to, uh, have a modem. I used defense fords a far more than lies than what we have now. I think all that owns mens also the not just the plans, but the planning that goes into a, the population levels of the government at the moment. The now signals hope. And i think, you know, its not the fault for, its really, its not a whole while that is not in sync with the work that youre doing on is that why the summit itself is so significant as an emblem perhaps of india and moving forward and such a degree lives in location for india to market itself. This is a self on the global state farm on the lopez page. And also mind your thoughts with time when it comes to like it is forced to do it because of multilateralism, globalization, the, all of these things are on the waiting. Now, because its, its a vast doing when they want to, uh, uh, mazda that prism, and the globalization so that they could find new markets and explode new markets. They were walking with it. And now we see, you look at the, what they know theyre rolling. Um that, that a lot of sanctions that the impulse of the what i wouldnt call them. So i started to these, i unilateral quite as it measures that i didnt was post on the was so the best stuff to stop this so so no kitchen for them to a reset the plan with no kitchen for them to read things about what they are doing through the was no sign taking partnerships. Its, it stopped dictating model icing in the various sizes. So im afraid is with what they have to do is now think of, uh, uh, uh, economic cooperation. Then the, i think less on your part of the deductible you bought a big deal strategy. Yeah. Can nomics everything is inter linked, but what, this is a time for them. You dont have to buy when the world auto is changing the World Economic power. I use is a on the decline for the rest the, theres a time for them to look at ways to cooperate with the rest of the world. Just on the issue like you have the situation where the bricks grouping is growing significantly. Youve got ad states chewing up to join, wanting to, to have their say with, with, with a rising global side that power with that in mind. How significant, how important is the g 20 not. What spending at, in the as role today this weekend, but Going Forward the actual group thing, the g 20 as a whole. If you look at you started with the brakes, you know, even before the effects found, that if you look at the popular g, d, p of d 7, its less than the popular g, d p of uh, brakes before its expansion and brakes need the expensive because of countries in the so far as the global solid ones of freed them from unilateral decisions. And they want the account, the way to when it comes to equity, loans, investments from uh, Bretton Woods institutions. So your, which of, uh, probably become a west centric and this was that for, and ill put you on a d for the rest to understand the frustration. So, and also also the aspirations of people of the global solid, you know, and the brakes summit. And john is back on the signal upset. Im deep now, you talked about having on board more countries, including countries in uh, in africa. You dont have to give you any in the country if you will be there to help you out. And, and that, you know, why is that a, that a more applicants that have more applications coming for breaks because they want the jane to they want the people who are able to understand them and cooperate with them rather than next, floyd them and put them into that trap, and thats a complete, thats a repeated and a complaint that they have against the Bretton Woods institutions. And its, its time the rest realizes brakes up to this uh, the southern kind of realization of frustration and bank are among the globe. And so can i touch upon a specific and topic to be spoken about this weekend, the, the environment and climate change, at which effects and large se wades of the emerging swirls. Whats the way that the west has attempted to, to do . But i, particularly in the, in the previous nations, and im thinking more of africa, is that they are dictating to use that word again. That you must reach nets, or you must have at bringing an implementation done by a certain date. But these are people who are trying to feed their family, get Running Water and get villages built on. Yep. Theyre under this kind of total. So how can not be more a looking after the environment, but also countries wont economic growth. I think they love to have a, a better ballpark. You subscribe to the plays which takes on board a lot of countries that are beginning to uh, set up the manufacturing basis, which means you come from the g. 20 can do, can help with that depend, they can help with that by modifying the months on, you know, the commitments. They are a frank rick select from countries that are trying to set up the manufacturing bases and the new start manufacturing ways. And naturally that will be published and, and this means that they know theyre asking countries that on your own, you shouldnt stop anything. But if, if youre, if of some country, some companies quite big corporations like gods like us to wrong, or some, a Big Oil Company wants to move the country like megabytes but its permit that. So its, its a very unilateral, its, and im democratic way of looking at things and which is why its the sort of the fact that the, uh, the uh, you have to understand the, even the tensions are not working at it. Look at the outcome of the sanctions. I think the outcome of sanctions is that russia and also china on. 9 creating more of not just political, solve the technology, solving the be in a club, like solomon seals good, the slop sanctions. You can get grid headlines in the, in the media. You can say were, were bottling, put, and were bottling g as shooting peg. Its feeling good. It seems important to you, but i tell you, i looked at the impact of the sanctions its. Its also affecting about the friends of the americans. You know, its affecting europe in a big way. And if you look at the starting to now look at the liquefied, the natural gas you have up is buying more looking for an actual gas from russia than ever before. And theyve said that they have no plans at this. They were challenged on this week, as you know, they put no plans to less than that. In fact, its going to rise most most like i think big country like for us, the big economies like rush and sign up with a know, if not in the shot, the mid the, you know, rice, you know, will find ways to all work. Im the sanction just they know a process for, but we have to also look at the smaller countries like say the cube of a needs to a lot and there is a significant damage to the economies and people tend to suffer a lot. So if, if some people are going to do live some kind of a flash of out of, uh, of the how to put was the people from what we can do, i have to think about. But again, this is the, the slogan, loved it. This should be economic cooperative behavior. And what else is it going to be hijacked by politicize ation . You know, uh, this is the same thing. You know, we, we, we, uh, this is an economic forum. Mm hm. And uh, of course, you know, again, like i said, youll step to the deal of politics and the economics are all in the link. But there are all kitchens when you need to suppress more on economic cooperation. Because what do you see is this something that im saying, and then the interests of the rest . Not that im progress, but im, im seeing in nature as of the blogger is part of me as a horse, because youll see the decline of the rest and a rest and focus the economic system. Youll see the decline of dollars as of a. So kevin says, central bank reserve 7th, you see the decline of the dollar as at southern c form loans and investments. So its, its, or its finding drugs of the western countries that they corporate more, which countries in the global uh, solves and which is what the uh, the 20 sharp im with the comes uh very clearly categorically said that the india is trying to be the voice of the global assault into summit, just to quick points while we have you because its always enjoyable talking to you. If i may have the fact that she didnt paying something, were putting our notes here has led to some to suggest that at certain western nations might take advantage by trying to pressure at other nations. Including partner countries here to try and maybe build off a consensus against russia and china to do you think they will succeed. If not, i call upon me about them via because if you have not do the priorities of administer of external affairs and also that of the problem, the more the yes, even in the height of the conflict and when a rest and media the whole a while for less than we did, we did a great influence on this country as well as be more licensing, you know, friendly instead of friday of fashion, that you have to spend the rest the in this, you know what, they always pitch it as a war between. Busy bought and they will and the good then you will. So, you know, even i bet them in the i didnt, i love it. So to be reduced to it was a little space to know you had the it, it be the focus on its own strategic interest. And we know what happened. You know, that they didnt, the, its all the line that the rest wanted them to go. And thats a great that you might, and thats a, a message to anyone whos trying to do what you suggested that the, those people might tried to do in the absence of flesh and dime. You know, that isnt in fact the absence of relation to another. She has very much your time that time as we made it very much here. Its the most lead those of these 2 countries. Im not here for reasons. We dont know why havent they . Yeah, we dont know and use it to to give us slide 10 day in the case of fruit because of i put in. I dont think thats the reason and in the case of uh, 2 didnt thing. It could be other reasons. I think after all is 5 premium easy, it was some very a resident issue. So ill be bringing those up throughout the day with other guests. But for now weve been speaking to look in p brighter on political commentator. And as i say at your a writing on r t dot com can be fine there. Right. Thank you, sir. Thanks. Okay, in the run up to the do to at the summit in india, reports have been circulating in western media, all of and e u. Charm offensive as we were just speaking about on the global side. Will it happen . Will it materialize . Because the presumption of the goal is to distance most nations from russia. And also china with the leaders of both states options from the event with both the chinese and russian president s staying away from the to day gathering in new delhi. The you wants to seize the moment, according to people familiar with the preparations, who ask not to be named discussing internal strategy. The 27 nation block aims to show that it is serious about redefining its partnership with africa. Despite the troubled legacy of colonialism, they said it looks like the European Union has become that guy. The one who schemes to hate on you at an event when they find out, be or significant other wont be there. Sounds like African Leaders attending the g 20 in the absence of russia and china are going to have to put up with being backed across the room by western officials getting all up in their personal space. Like every tree does that night clubs. The western process reporting that the e u is planning to avail itself of global summit as an occasion to step up. Its outreach, getting all touchy feely with the global. So on the sidelines we sounds like something for which you need a safe word. Well, i would at the club so that youre best he can come and rescue you. Its not like you leaders have been to settle about their intentions. Either german chancellor, all off schultz made a trip back in may 2 African Union headquarters in ethiopia and then asked the jury wanted the g 20 to make it official with the African Union. We want to support the African Union, get misleading the g 20 so that it can participate and have a saying decision making. African must play a bigger role in international relations. A role that does justice to the continent and is growing population given to africa is currently on us free of twos that effectively inject european new colonialist interests that have been getting a little to hands the with African Resources for far too long. Africa just might not be in the mood to entertain western promises of commitments which so far have yet to materialize or the usual western pick up lines either. For example, here, zambia is Opposition Leader putting silver tongued playboy washington in its place during Vice President commer harris is visit the country that does to forward so many governments in africa that does lead so many close enough income and other parts of the country that does cute, so minimal any does enough. And other parts of the world the key level about this. Remember those are the proper department. Those who are coming to teach us about the american Vice President s trip is part of the western seduction strategy. Born of fear that africa just might want to data around specifically with russia and china. Its the kind of cleaners that typically comes from in security. They only seem to ever want to be bothered making an effort when they feel that they have competition, which apparently hasnt escaped the attention of experts. These uh, basically desperate tapes. Overtime costs africa is showing slipping out of the tubs. If you look at the going ties between beijing and also the gap between most going out the car, i think it does have very much considerable and much more viable and friendly alternatives in terms of deal with all been partners in the russia and china. And youre just just wake up and smell the coffee for you as far as seats. In apartment c, the un security calling you in the future, give it to us for whatever reason. So when decisions, i figured id forgotten those. Why . Because why suddenly i very sure its all good because im freeze. You know, so somebodys whitaker, government but i said more likely to buy the fish because when very to the right not very far from the loan to pass on to the home recent visit our pool, you g tranche. So the idea is large for the local africa, the idea is to you to bump attrition of the a surface engine guy that does continue to tell me theres no relationship between africa and the Vision Security over what russia and china might have to offer africa would also explain why, right after russian for administer sergey laughter of toward africa last year job i didnt had to interrupt his naps schedule and go all the way over to egypt for the cop 27 summit. While secretary state anthony blinking lives the continent on visits to south africa, congo, and vermont, that now perhaps you will find a way to somehow build new and better ties with africa. But their best shot comes from being totally honest and authentic about what they really want, rather than like, decrease the bar who pretends that he has absolutely no agenda a Rachel Marston with they reports there. Well, the global tide is indeed having its day because for the 1st time for emerging economies at have and will hold the g 20 summit. It wasnt an easy last year course. No, its india. It goes to brazil on 2 sides, africa. And they want to be heard those nations. The big question over this weekend is whether they will be alive to we know that the will be a push for politicize ation. The ukraine conflict is what the west wants to talk about. But the global side has many, many other issues they want at, at the forefront of the agenda. Well be here throughout the day on tomorrow, as well as making sure that any of that is picked up. Well bring it to you on the sidelines on from the formal offense itself. Live from new delhi. This is the 1st day of g 202023. The the the price of the rest and decline of the rest. These until it was simple for know what we should do east weather, east or west north to south. We must, per phone, solidarity and Global Corporations all the time that the one has never seen. So east, west and on. So we have one family, one, youll lose family, the because they already gosh, they cps because they get the store i visited and then use their email fuel just of the degree to offend them, to the rules. The not see theory of racial superiority finished style for years of creating an ssl all the place and 14 concentration comes. So the full prisoner of war labor comes 10 prisons really well, you know, thing to do is go level. Shes the media and you fill in the scene and youll need even the big chest is really to get over the fields. Im assuming peoples going to be in approximately 25000 people, went through the kind of go to finish camps according to official figures. These move stuff, dudley looked at if the ship did utility and i give you an idea, im not sure its just the size of the stuff. So the youngest, i mean yeah. What the famine disease forced labor torture by the simple meals. What was the last it, it also means you can see that its a deep variable. Human off. What does it, what it is, 9 portion of the 6 of the give you what fuel the 230, because he does it to those thousands of testimonies of crimes and the impunity of criminals. Nothing more. When you look on here, you know, one or 2 side it is because the majority of yeah for the good i see it or really supplement they. Theyve decided to do it. You got to do, please dont like it, but it was then yes, that was put in the middle of the the to produce clear because over at those, you know, you have to be on the bottom of the dora slash pursue. Yeah. Because i moved enough. I just wonder if i was just a little after much me on this lovely. They quoted what symbol which is good for those who release to feet. Know all you simply want to do by the the, the of the great news. As our analogy international, its almost 300 people that killed in morocco was a deadlier twig shapes the country. We have more updates and details on the way 3 soldiers are arrested and bucking a fast. So one charges of coughing against the rolling military would choose led by the worlds youngest title and the indian in 5 minutes to an arrange of body. Welcome to the Russian Foreign minister as well as well.
