and russia. do you understand why we fantasize those extremes in a place like russia, possessed with putin. all we want to know is what he wants, what he said, what it means and then the hero martyrs, why were not interested in -- i hope people are more interested and buy your book because you made it so interesting but you have an insight as to why we fetishize those extremes? >> that's just our narrative proclivities, analytical proclivities anywhere, that going back to greek literature, the idea of defined roles is more digestible and understandable. i'm not sure how particularize mr. rush but putin makes it so easy. you such a perfect comic book super villain that it's hard to resist the urge to make every story about him because stories framed around him so good, so juicy, they sell well, underwrite. he makes it too easy. beginning to suspect by design he's very happy with that arrangement in this kind of positioning in politics through that prism. i'm not sure how particular it is to russia

and russia, do you understand why we fed us those two extremes in a place like russia? we are obsessed with hooton. all we want to know what he is thinking, what he wants, what he said what it means and then the hero martyrs, why we are not interested in come i hope people are more interested in by your book because you have made it so interesting but you have an insight now as to why we fetishize those two extremes? >> i think that is our narrative in our narratives anywhere that it's going back to greek literature, just the idea that the antihero and clearly defined roles is more digestible and understandable so, i'm not particular how that is to russia so putin makes it so easy, he such a perfect comic book super villain that it is hard to resist the urge to make every story about him because stories framed around him are so good, they're so juicy, they sell well and are fun to write and he makes it too easy i'm beginning to expect by design, he's very happy with that. arrangement in his kind of positioning in the politics through that. but i'm not sure how particula

specific quatenus in which then what now he can revolve he excluded china and russia. so it was supposed to be transpacific but somehow it didn't go on to all very important country as you know some would say their most important country is on the western side of the pacific. now mystified them is is blas didn't draw for raising china's transparency you know trump said something good about china when china really is that they don't know all their new wire us and they make you jump in here i have to go i have to go to a hard break ok we're going to go to short break and out of that short break we'll continue our discussion on china bashing. faisal i've been arguing for the last decade or so. who is it was crisis is both a structural prices and it is also a crisis of state when you're going to see in a capitalist and your money and this and then it did not cause that crisis it only made it there. and made and we deal with it so the whole world and it's going to aggravate all of the rats and dimensions of the crisis the health emergency lands we're still going to be left

it would be any possible scenario where russia is not in the wrong where russia is not the bad guy because if you if you get a rules based system but it depends on western unity they were the west will always hold together and russia will always be in there also this whole idea that. there's a lot of internal contradictions within this liberal international order and as the international distribution of power has been shifting away from the west and towards the rest of the world i guess upholding pension money relies more and more on course of its power that it's not just military power that everybody can only sign it and nothing else important i mean that means. a liberal order as defined by the washington consensus means you have to use coercion i mean what value is that in itself violence of a demon rapidly running out of time then. well there was a book published recently on this issue of the office and xander cooley and then next and there the title of the book is exit from hegemony on revenue and all of them magic and all the all of that and the 2 office abio that basically this so-c

russia and the world can take. scientific a medical and i think because of this we are understandably anxious to limit the loss of. military historian mike jones thank you so much for joining us on the program and giving us your unique perspective. it's been a pleasure thank you very much. well bring you more stories on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic after this short break. survival guide. to the stars. repatriations. so. to a. going to a in. to a to it. i am going to a. welcome back they went children's fund has warned of a possible resurgence of measles to take over in 1000 pandemic according to unicef millions of children's art risk of missing their vaccines als the world health organization's guidelines issued in late march saying immunization should be postponed measles is an easily preventable viral disease according to h w h o targets at least 95 percent of people need to be back sunday and i may countries can fall short of that target of courtin measures continue we heard from robin and the chief of immun

it will be any possible scenario where russia is not in the wrong where russia is not the bad guy because if you go if you go to rules based system but it depends on western unity they were the west will always hold together and russia will always be in there also this whole idea that. there's a lot of internal contradictions within this liberal international order and as the international distribution of power has been shifting away from the west and towards the rest of the world i guess upholding pension money relies more and more on the course of its power that it's not just military power that everybody can only sign evanescent most important i mean that means. a liberal order as defined by the washington consensus means you have to use coercion i mean what value is that in itself violence of a demon rapidly running out of time when. well there was a book obvious recently on this issue of the office and exotic coolly and then next and then. the title of the book is exit from hegemony on revel in all of them magic and all that and the 2 or 3 us abi your basically this so-called liberal

and as confirmed cases of the virus soar in russia president vladimir putin extends the country's top down to make a leavened and tells russians the pandemics likely to get more fierce. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program the credit virus has now infected more than 1000000 people in the united states of atest death toll stands at just over 58000 that's according to data from johns hopkins university the virus has reached every state in the country in massachusetts nearly 70 war veterans who tested positive for coverage 19 have died. in a nursing home state officials say they're trying to determine what went wrong at the facility. with just about a 3rd of all global cases the u.s. is grappling with the worst help break in the world here's a look at how the virus has spread through the country. like many other countries in the early days of the pen demick the united states was in denial about the tree danger of the corona virus it's going to disappear one day it's like a miracle it will disappear in the name of jesus and friends. but the miracle didn't happen and the pray it d

and making the link between trump and russia which. but almost didn't want to make that was there was none but anyway so coming back to what your just said it's just amazing and what is very dangerous is that we found out we learn from mr obama that he believes this crap because of amerie tweeted this article headlined would use a lot of war against american science so it but it puts a huge question who was iranian the united states you know a person who can believe such awful crap you know how * how followed where obama's decisions on ukraine on syria let me remind you that trump so far has not started a single war a bomb or 2 my mike started 3 in the league in syria and in ukraine. and i agree completely and we said ok. well i completely agree with alex i think it's very important to say that efficiency. is is not against democracy democratic country it's very very efficient for example during their walled wars you know where you had to drop horses that well get the bats for the world that now will suddenly the reach just countries i

between saudi arabia and russia and demand crashing because of corona virus but in the u.k. the death toll is supposed to 10000 and this prime minister bars johnson recovers after being released from hospital nurses and doctors say his government is failing to provide enough protective gear let's begin with china sara clark joins us live from hong kong so is this the unwelcome proof of a 2nd wave sarah. well certainly a rise in numbers as you mentioned the highest we've seen in 6 weeks 18108 new cases i should say reported from china's national health commission that's up from 99 the previous day but i should give you some background about where these particular cases have come from we've got most of these cases are reported in the north east of china in a province that borders russia and these are chinese citizens who are coming back in to china after being living or living abroad but certainly in russia but they're they describe as important cases but they are chinese nationals and they put in place a number of tough measures in this particular province known as the heilon

as well as from iran and russia did you know they do their math they do their homework and they sense that they can write out a price war much better than the very over leveraged you know $50000000000.00 . budget constraint to saudi arabia that needs $83.00 a barrel of oil in order to balance its budgets as well as fund its longer term visions of getting off of oil and expanding its economy under the vision of mohamed bin solomon so it's really people have to look at this as a sense of it these are not just necessarily coincidences in my point of view because the ruble was strengthening last year russia. has been on a de dollarization platform in order to diversify away from dollar reliance in part to fight sanctions thrown against it as well as its partners but also to strengthen its own ambitions to have its currency the currency of its allies really rival if not it's the 47 year old petro dollar standard which is the effective monopoly globally with regard to oil or gas pricing so there's a lot of you know it's a game of chicken really high on the scenes there's a lot who is going

he tried to put sanction against against russia and nord stream and now they. gave a gift in and a sense to the restaurant because in a way this will eliminate some of the competition in direct plea for or for the russian by having a probably further investment in the shale gas in the united states if it's going to be a very impossible to continue as mr trump tried to do today i think the implication is going to be tough for the sudanese they can to face the bleeding of their financial resources their their their and downwind is going to be depleted gradually vest what what we will see those $500000000000.00 actually they cannot be at least is going to be affected by by this downturn in oil prices and i think it's going to be a lot of anger in the in the in the in the united states the situation is very bleak for him personally because that gamble at this point it doesn't help him it doesn't help his reputation it doesn't help aramco stocks and it doesn't help that international economy in the end yes the international economy needs some economic boost but you

so than the president salva russia and the u.s. along with the saudi king have endorsed in a storage deal sunday the oil cartel opec and other producers have agreed on the largest ever all output cut it will see a drop of $9700000.00 barrels per day which is around 10 percent of the global supply kuwait's oil minister says the deal will come into force on may the 1st. by the grace of god and then with wise guidance continue sufferance and continue stock since early friday we can now announce the completion of a historic agreement to reduce production by approximately $10000000.00 barrels of oil per day by members of 4 plus starting from me the 1st 2020 or but the back story here back in early march opec and other major all producing nations failed to find common ground on reducing output you may recall as demand took the nosedive on the back of the corona virus outbreak then last week an agreement was almost reached to slash production but mexico refused the country later agreed to a cut by far less than requested by opec let's go

it will be any possible scenario where russia is not in the wrong where russia is not the bad guy because if you get if you get a rules based system but it depends on western unity they were the west will always hold together and russia will always be in there also this whole idea that. there's a lot of internal contradictions within this liberal international order and as the international distribution of power has been shifting away from the west and towards the rest of the world i guess upholding pension money relies more and more on the course of its power that it's not just military power that everybody can only sign it and nothing else important i mean that means. a liberal order as defined by the washington consensus means you have to use coercion i mean what value is that in itself violence of a demon rapidly running out of time then. well there was a book published recently on this issue of the author saw alexander cooley and then next and there the title of the book is exit from hegemony and revel in all their magic and all that and the 2 office arguing that this so-called liber

record breaking cuts of production to stop the oil price slump crude producers led by saudi arabia and russia agree to the biggest of the reduction in oil to say so who will be most affected. is inside story. hello welcome to the program and it's me. factories shut grounded cars and trucks off the roads in many cities under lockdown demand for oil has collapsed due to the coronavirus pandemic and oil prices fell further when major producers saudi arabia and russia couldn't agree on cutting output. now they've set aside their dispute opec and the oil cartels allies agreed to a 10 percent production cut the biggest ever but the deal to switch off the top spy 10000000 barrels a day still needs approval from mexico but these circumstances require swift and timely measures all of our oil producing countries must pull efforts to change the situation related to the substantial over production of oil in the world the us it didn't take part in the opec discussions on thursday which are the focus of a meeting of g 20 energy ministers on friday some analysts say production cuts will hurt smaller nations

the developing countries are almost side actors in this game between saudi arabia russia and the u.s. to they have any leverage a tall they're the ones that are really going to feel most of the pain if they have any way to put pressure taught anyone i think the already putting pressure on them see them true membership in opec and will pick plus don't forget huge role in nigeria and who are likely to rugby if played or pick presidency right now is run managed by an african and i don't hear from jerry and did not share that when it comes to market forces of course that we really have done much with looking at how much we import and how much we use china still has to come out i think between here because their prices bed their head has been a continuous push among african states on how down how does this need to go about nordic people in countries with very happy we get cuts and what happened and will pick yesterday big deal united together i'm not talking. a lot many of them too accepted because they understand that if their we get points that belies market it's really good for us a bit

specific partnership which meant what larry king with bob he excluded china and russia. so it was supposed to be transpacific but somehow it didn't go on to all very important country as you know some would say the most important country is on the western side of the pacific. now mr biden is is blasting trump for raising china's transparency you know trump said something good about china when china really is that they don't know all their new wire us and then you jump in here i have to not have to go to a hard break ok we're going to go to short break i'm out of that short break we'll continue our discussion on china bashing. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led. by. what is truly lost his faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. maybe in the shallows. style bananas used in planted on the stone to continue a little spot that same day and. desire to know. how much older the. local just to. show. you some will p

military presence in this area the 1st thing obviously to look at is russia right why well geography and history both play into this story look at how close sometimes we forget just how close russia and the united states are to each other maybe as close as any other country out there when you really zoom in and that's what i want to do i want to zoom in for you take a look at the thing that we just discovered there are 2 little. i lived right here in between the edge of russia and the edge of alaska one of those islands is called the big die i mean island and the other one is called di i mean island or little diabete island so this is big this is little di made this one belongs to russia this one over here belongs to the united states you know with the distances between those like 2 what a half miles that's like 40 football fields or approx with that many fields that's how small the distance is between these 2 countries so that's the geography now let's talk about the history which is predicated by a way by a cat and mouse game that's been truly played out by both sides in fact you w
