Events plus the as the worlds most popular Muslim Country booth ties with russia, we sit down with a permanent, in the nation social say, go for his take on the shifting global geological picked out the west is no free from one side of the future. So it is a huge gemini, and sometimes it gains these nomic world. The a very welcome to you. Youre watching all the international with the latest. Well need that date. Its a pleasure to have you with us on top story this out as the muslim, well, dentist, its how many months of ramadan is where the forces of violently prevented was just as the younger been faulty from entering the ill ask the most gonna east jerusalem. The, the dramatic stage and the same. So it was idea of troops pushing back a crowd of muslims at the gates to the well renowned crowd or a number of women as well as young and old. The arabs were biesen with such homes as they attempted to answer is very well. So as these came the working to ensure freedom of religion while providing security as requested by the next in yahoo and stuff from around has know its broad piece to garza. I the, the lead to of the mouse is blaming the as well for failing to secure a c spy, a deal full the month long islamic fast, the final. So the 1st we have a stablished 5 principles to achieve disagreement. We are striving for which will be reflected in a comprehensive cease fire and in the water and gaza. The complete withdrawal, though, keep by an army from all gather territories, having a full return of refugees without conditions to their places of residence, and also military issues for our people. Semi until now, the enemy has been a vague and given queer assurances and commitments, especially regarding the cease fire, meaning the cessation of aggressive warfare on gaza. This means they won their hostages to return, and then resume the war and our people. In our inquiries, what we do shuttle with say 5 talks a powerfully on ice phase, the growing that the regional violence could spiral further on these middle east corresponded to maria maria the notion that is in jerusalem on content is more as well as far from the store as many expected for the holy month of ramadan. And how may i send these ro were supposed to sign a deal before monday, brokers by agents and toddler. But theresa, as you can see, is nowhere inside with both sides, blaming each other. And now here is mountains that we might see for there is collation not only here in jerusalem, but more dramatic and gaza earlier a 0 fractions to evade rough off in gas of south. Thats now house is at least 1200000 displaced gallons, who fled, but his suicide is up north. A from us doesnt agree to deal well. Have my statement and the idea has already prepared, then presented plans for a ground operation in the southern parts of the guys us 3 of so we might expect anything. Despite rising Global Concerns over the dangers and large scale sensors and such a densely populated area might pose earlier and the president of the country that these really warren guys are. Were not happening possible without the us that supports israel financially, militarily and politically made it clear and that to more innocent this would be a red line. Theres no red line. Im going to cut off all weapons so they dont have the iron. Dont protect. They dont have puts those red lines, attitude crosses and they can see cannot have 30000 more palestinians. Dad, he must, he must pay more attention to. Theres a lies be lost as a consequence of the extra stake hes hurting time. My view is hurting israel. More than helping to 0 by making the rest of the world is contrary to what is your stance. What about a israel . Well, it seems to be the term and not the totally intimidated 5 words about the red lines send from washington on sunday. The idea of heat, one of the largest residential towers in rough font with air strike, stepping up pressure on the southern part of the guys has 3 frontiers with Prime Minister natania, a homes on a certain device. And so i dont know exactly what the president man, but if you meant by that done on pursuing private policies against the majority, the way some of the majority of israelis and then this is hurting the interest of israel. And hes wrong and both count them on these are not my private policies only their policies supported by the overwhelming majority of these rarely as well as really probably going to start payers confidence speaking on behalf of the entire nation. Recent polls indicates that a selections were health today, and its an yeah, how would most likely lose the former defense minister ben against who is now remember, all these rails were a cabinet with a majority favoring guns for the position of Prime Minister. So why the confidence from b, b or nathan, yahoo, one possible reason harsh words from washington. Im not exactly harsh and the us is sending rather conflicting messages from one hand by them. Criticizes medium. Yeah. Who say hes hurting these ro mold and helping. Hes reland calling his actions a big mistake, but at the same time, he says he want to catch all lessons to each room. And we know that over 100 suffered for a military sales, unprecedented number. Have been approved and delivered to israel since the war and gas it began in october. The 7th, also washington supplies weapons complaining about thousands of palestinians killed in gaz, including with american weapons. And at the same time sense troops to build the fords for delivering humanitarian aids. To gases, also vitamins as he wants to see a cease fire, but the us because Un Security Council draft resolutions calling for an immediate truce, promising to offer its own document for our vote, which has never happened so far. This policy has its cost for washington as well or their bite and was interrupted during his speech by protest. Her who called him out for washingtons continues supports of israels war on him as in the gaza strip branding him genocide. To jo, its hard to get the the for him says the President Biden was close on, hold to mind, talk to his state of the union address, saying that he and the to the whole, he referred to his really Prime Minister by his nickname b, b. I going to have a come to jesus meeting explaining later that he meant a serious conversation. While the country perhaps the only one in the world, that is a boy right now to stop israels bombardments all the guys im actually supports a 0 guns off to mold in 31000 lives. Last thinking about the serious conversation, while many would believe it is time for red co actions instead of attempts to sell south africa to the powers. That is how the country is president has blasted the main office. They shouldnt policy oft with all the us to oversee elections in may. His was house around the pose a had to say and his diamond response to that request. We say to come and monitor. But now for a nonparty, the non state drive that model state entity to do Something Like that, its basically say we have more gauging our, our democracy to either. I dont really, it doesnt matter to me who those uh uh we do with regional organizations, continental organizations, and global organizations. And we in lives there. So we think its quite in this in the us. And there seems to be another agenda that im the pin. So that those are the words of the president of south africa. So im gonna pull some responding, particularly to the mainland position party. The Democratic Alliance updates in a letter requesting support from the United States as well as several foreign nations to ensure a free and fair election, as they say, come voting time on between to 9. So may please the post. A claims that the d is replaced as puts of africa sovereignty on a silver platter. And that, that data a basically says we of sending our democracy and this is all coming as the country becomes increasingly nervous, that if the election day could be mod, by violence between condo receives of the uniform political party, as well as the economy, freedom cited and is the Party Members as well . What the d a is decision is being you waiting in listening to is that they have a chance of winning, but not if the United States does not intervene. It also points out that so thats because peaceful transition to democracy. 1994 were supported by countries throughout the world. The state is progressive vision and worked very hard just to defeat racial nationalism and political oppression. But the kid what is being he does of african countries that the d a avoided the wood, a potted, and it made sense. And instead phrased at that period as racial nationalism and political oppression that on its own. There is a sending sylvester because its on a frenzy considering the fact that the Democratic Alliance of the party did not even exist during the countries for us to democratic elections in 1994. And so thats it, because its now say, this clearly indicates that should be democratic allies go into government so that the car will be subjected to the bullying of the United States. And additionally, the letter is asking for taking the logical resources to come back to miss information and this information from a foreign matter im, im back to basically, but she has moved from the atlanta weve asked for appeal to our government to recognize the high stakes for south africa in the lead up to and of to month of the 2024 national and provincial elections. It is in these context that we know form of the request all putting us in democracy to engage with consequence in the run up to the election. Well, and its similar to that one was also seen to 2 of the Foreign Ministers around the world, particularly in europe. Um aust, getting for helping ensuring that there is absolutely no foreign interference is of africas upcoming election. In fact, lisa, as well, was also seen by the democratic allies, but so thats because we checked all of these moves by the d a saying that the d h has seen how the us into feelings in other countries, the solvency has resulted in absolute destruction in k us but still choose us to go ahead and write this lead to to the you is that is to try to, im quotes for, for the d a to wanting to, to intervene, americans over c o elections, of which we never intervene in their own elections. So i dont think that is a very is a very which i did 40 synthetic with most. So 100 percent. I feel like its on sale on so that we can citizens because i dont understand the relation between the, the Political Parties and our Political Parties. I believe that as a sort of because ive never been a citizen, im supposed to have my c as well with regards to the polity of political industry and all that. They dont reside. Yeah. So difficult to to be. Thats good to see with regards to that. So that for to the citizens the saying that they dont need to use observers because what makes them right just to observe that african election. So with all the scandals that they have under, they balances even the amc has said that the das need to amounts to nothing further stating that they dont even know what the basis of these tensions of off the d a r. But also they say that this is not surprising to them. What do you expect from a party that wants to have International Relation problems . The what do you expect from a particular day . Im done. Student hasan talks about the war in guys by saying that one means genocide is one means of freedom. Those are the places and sent them is coming to an advisor reading party. The amc, tens of millions of russians are preparing to votes for the next president s this coming weekend. Here i dont see international with you. Were bringing you all the special coverage of the nations keynote events. The. The election comes as a launch scale, challenge for rushes and bounds, hold a new regions, millions of preparing the concept, balance that despite the constant threats of ukrainian, surely all these which have both takes as to how local or National Authorities and making sure citizens kind of exercise that democratic rights as well. She prepares to go to the polls. This president ial election will pose unique challenges in russias new territories. These areas are court. The under martial law and cynical ukrainian attacks on pulling centers are always a trip. But its the solutions that are critical and those Solutions Must take into account the reality of the situation on the ground. For example, one of the voter has yet to receive the new russian documents, screens kind of part of them. Youll notice where people will ukrainian passports, im not able to vote in unit labor right to territories, but those are the rules and laws. But at the same time, people want to vote and have expressed such a desire. Therefore, we are speeding up the process of issuing documents and helping them to obtain russian passports. This is a daily process. Moreover, we are looking at how to organize it even more quickly because there is not much time left before the elections. And people want to be involved with our innovative ways to ensure the safety of voters are being considered including restricting information regarding the location of the polling areas. And even moving the voting places from where risk a merge. The duration of voting may also be reduced to protect the voters with the local Election Commission is ready to use the valuable experience they gain in september 2023 during the election of deputies to the regional parliaments, still concert. So thats where the polling stations we also have technologies that allow us to ensure security versus new regions will also have the possibility of early voting at pony stations located in an accessible or remote areas. In addition to these voters would be able to register to use mobile vote or mechanisms. This will all avoid large congregations of voters which are prime targets for ukranian strikes. A variety of forms of voting will ensure the separation of people flowing into vote. In this way, it will be possible to avoid large crowds of citizens in one room. And of course, no risk can ever be entirely eliminated. And last years local election showed that the Ukrainian Army was determined to disrupt the democratic process as much as possible. Now, youre probably wondering why im wearing this protective vest and helmet. Well, put quite simply, its because polling stations are under the threat from ukrainian attack. This posing station, in fact, itself was struck during the referendum and 2 people were killed. But as you can see, it hasnt due to the people from taking part in the democratic process. So this year, as russians from very bus stuck to belgrade, heads of the poles, they will be joined by the people have done bus, eager to exercise their hard won democratic rights, and to find their own future as part of the wider russian family. And while ukraine may do all in its power to preventive, this selection will go ahead on the free voices of don bus will be heard. Well, ill say have you covered fully K Development surrounding the upcoming vote . The president ial palace will be held across multiple days for the 1st time, and weve got Something Special times for the big weekend. So do stay with us to find out more soon. And you can also follow the build up on our website as well. The, the west is not free from one side to the interest stuff to deal with. One of indonesia is main. Cultural figures didnt see on see dean, the former leader of the mohammed, they uh, as la make and g o sat down with us for an exclusive interview about the how the world is rapidly changing. And why russia and indonesia have more reasons to work together. A good many people may not know that knew how medea has a strong relationship with russia. Yeah. Can you explain how this relationship was 1st established and what kind of cooperation or relationship was built at the time . Yeah, so but another yeah. Who will that . Yes. Actually the relationship between the home a, d, a and the Russian Federation was established a long time before i became chairman of the home of the central leadership. And when i received the mandate, as general chairman of the monday, a central leadership in 2005, we were to tell them and to develop International Relations and cooperation with many countries, both with islamic countries and the modern countries in the west, in asia and in other places, there are quite a number of memorandums of understanding that have been signed with governments, including the governments of the u. K. Australia and also with International Institutions such as the community of santa g, d. U, which is the organization of lead catholic people based enroll. Now we have one with russia as well. Yes, we will. I personally have built that relationship with the Russian Ambassador in chicago. I mean, when i sit in president put into the initiative to form a group for Strategic Vision between the Russian Federation and the muslim world. So i was contacted by the embassy to be a member of the organization. And i was one of only 2 people from asia. I was represented in southeast asia, and there was one other person, a professor from bangladesh, which is the academy of sciences the or the phillip. So from then on in 2007, i went to moscow and not a place has to attend the meeting. So the, so, you know, i zation called the group for City Division between the Russian Federation and then laws and well toast. I mean, and since then, once a year, even twice a year, i attend meetings in moscow in my hutch color, also one in grossly teaching. Yeah. And morning because on the capital of the republic of cut us down, the public that thats, thats what kind of topics are discussed at these meetings by the room. Yeah. In general, Strategic Issues connecting russia with these like, well, have led to continued cooperation in various fields in the economic field in particular of course, but also in the field of science and culture. In a broad sense, this group is a known governmental organizations. But segers from many islamic countries that are expected to lobby their respective governments or these nomic world as a whole, to relate to incorporate that the russian. And i think the results are tangible here that in the Russian Federation is one of the few countries the became and observe the oh i see the zation of islamic cooperation. The other side of the full rush has an investigator, a saudi arabia, specifically, and jetta booth. This is one time we had an assembly in jetta. So in the evening, who invited by the Russian Embassy for the oh, i see the organization of islamic cooperation, of the embassy for saudi arabia. So there are 2 russian and buses. This one in the, for the king of saudi arabia. Yes. One in get it for an organization of his let me cooperation because the headquarters isnt jeff motor customer at the get the calling from your perspective after participating in so many discussions and meetings. What role can indonesia take to continue strengthening the relationship between the 2 countries . Yeah, by next gladly, and there are so many things that can be done, especially since indonesia is the 4 most populous country in the world, much larger than in russia. After china, india and the United States comes indonesia. Secondly, indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim Population in the world, around 80 percent, or 220000000. 00 muslims. And this makes seem to need his position very important in these lumnick well and also for russia. So from that angle rush and indonesia, especially during the soviet era, had a Good Relationship. I think it was known as the jakarta moscow access. In addition to the just gotta be gain access at the time. You see in that era, the Indonesian Companies by a rule, the country now in the post soviet here or the post cold war, pete in relationships should be improved in the spirit of cooperation between nations and for the purpose of a mutually beneficial solution. And it is, yeah, indonesia. So russia is a world superpower in the, you know, this with union. And now in the, you know, the Russian Federation, its still both a military power and also a scientific and technological power at russia is also reaching natural resources, including oil, indonesia, whats once a member of opec, as an Oil Producing an or exporting country. But now it is in that in border. Russia is a pot and a phone call duration. I happen did these Global Political islam of the jakarta states as land mckinney, bescedy, russia in the boot and as an important seed as an observer in organization of islamic countries, russia has really opened up seeds, gorbachevs time since been destroyed. In other words, is the openness, and this leads to the sympathetic relationship with these logic wealth held above the discussion at home and the and m made a statement quoted by the in the nation media edit signed it in the easiest relationship with the Russian Federation could be a balancing force, a balance in the polarized, well, its a multi bullet welts and especially against bowers, like the United States, the european union, or the west in general, as a country that upholds the supremacy of world civilization. The west is not free from one sided interest, so it is very hegemony and sometimes that gives the islamic, well, not only against indonesia, it develops and cultivates symmetrical, a cooperation against the islamic world, the relationship between the west indies, lumnick world as a whole, gives rise to symmetrical adulteration in appearance and in being 3, actually the relationship is between the seems to be there and the inferior between disappear west and the inferior and muslim, well, its coming up and will because they are powerful, victorious in the field of science and technology. Also powerful in economic field, and this affects relationship in other fields in the military failed in the cultural field. That is what boom connor called neo colonial is an imperial, is. This is not a positive thing for the world, and it will cause global to model. Now both so it draw, shane, particularly its presented itself in mobs of ation as a country that wants to connect with others, especially as allow me countries. Ive seen that only with the middle east, with north africa was due to the your end in indonesia. Although it might have been in as an observer, this Great Potential has not been fully explored how the relationship between indonesia and the Russian Federation, or vice versa, can bring maximum benefits to both bodies that come up. So why do you think it has not been explored . So actually they have been active in intensive diplomatic assets. I know what the Indonesian Embassy moscow and the Russian Federation embassy in jakarta are doing. But there is still a kind of in security in this post cold war in a world. Because i think the west america, in particular, will not allow and islamic country like indonesia or the country in the middle east to have relations with non west in this list. But the, the factories lumnick well has good relations with the Russian Federation. Any melodic but got of nothing. Yeah, this is interesting sir, because it turns out that the role of indonesia and the role of the meetings that you have conducted is about more than just religious cultural factors, but also concerns the economy. If you look at it from your point of view, why does russia feel that indonesia is an important partner in such a cooperation . Indonesia strategic location is not between 2 continents and 2 oceans. As we often learned in elementary school, withdraw the end of developing region, which is called east asia. And now whether wed like you to know if there is the phenomenon of the rise of east asia, or lets say that in the pacific, with a shift of the epicenter of the kind of a girl from the atlantic to the pacific model. Or as i said, the Human Resources and also natural resources, extraordinary, and also religion, especially since the majority of the population is muslim to that. So the consequence of process position as an observer in the oh, i see is that it must have relations not only with ad of countries in the middle east and north africa, but also with all of the muslim countries, such as indonesia and malaysia. And thirdly, this Good Relationship will be a fact affecting global civilization. So there is a political, its global and they can amik shift to this region. And this is the world of the future. I think it will be full of cooperation based on when, when solutions. What has been wrong so far is that there are bodies who feel superior. What then sort of coolness of the countries using the to the world, a visa, capitalistic tubs. Now, back to russia, which also has an important position as it is surrounded by many is lemay countries in central agents. The ex soviet union with the majority of the population is muslim and reaching result is before this is explored, developed and then thought that we know the countries doesnt have to be on the basis of religion. That indonesia is a potential country to become a future growth area. My dream is to see the emergence of nice asia, the position of the whole, the world civilization supremacy is so once aging enrolling now its thoughts on who knows and an easy it could become the percentage of growth, bought them seeing i day, i buy a, the potential is there ser earlier, you also mentioned that there are those who feel superior, theyre the capital us narratives that you brought up earlier. Actually if we look at indonesia is current position. Just how influential is it, especially for establishing greater cooperation with russia, which actually has much potential. But there seemed to be some obstacles right. Back. Yeah, lets get yes, we have to knowledge the development of history. There was an area of colonialism when western nations cool, nice to many countries, especially in the eastern region, including indonesia, for the long term is and then the postcolonial is both independence era. It turns out that the orientation and tendency of clause ation itself did not. And is only for when the political to form an established nation states on the basis of independence, the duration of this. But in the parking of relations between nations, the domination has not. And even now come and for a time the world has divided into 2 blocks, east and west. This tend to west in the soviet union then in america and other countries where avoid is that, uh, then they had to choose either to be cited with the eastern blog or to the west and one. Then in the news, you had a Good Initiative of foremans and non block movement. But in reality, the no a Line Movement could not free itself from the influence of the existing blocks in the post cold war either. There was no longer a bipolar. Well, its of east and west or the west side to justify itself. As the sole superpower. There is a push for democracy, says yes, but its still cold champion of democracy america. This is what happened even in these land like wells and out of world the out of spring some time ago happened because of the push for west and democratization. Economic field, global capitalism to spray in like a syndrome. Even in small towns and villages. The syndrome of capitalism goes hand in hand with globalization bootable, globalization designed a shrinking, well, this may have been sold by its design, us, and initiate is to lead to a single will power that implements a capitalistic economy and liberal democracy. So countries in the west, i was surprised now when the new trends and, and then systems on the globalization in most as a country, it is impossible to leave alone. So this is the reasoning why the relationship between russia and indonesia, in addition to other countries, is important. And once again, it is the group to which i belong, the russian, most of them, well Strategic Vision group needs to be food advance. We find Strategic Vision, but it must continue to subject action strategic programs. So we needs to teach
