some full of votes have verified the paper trail machines to be counted alongside the electronic voting machines and that sort of thing, which is a pending ongoing issue and they didn't elections, but otherwise, um we had a new 70 percent, an option catalog and, and another state slate to this, but i would say that the 1st couple of phases have gone without any untoward incident. certainly no violence. so anything like this, people are coming out to vote. the campaign is progressing. many of us, including me personally, feel that the process is far too long. it need not have required 7 phases. the election commission has identified to conduct these polls. i think it could have been disposed of quickly move out of the pass code for the prisoners government to pay reparations to its former colonies. is that something that you still think should be done and how to move like the benefit india? now is that or even a some race enough that i've been slightly misrepresented on that. what i said in

that particular speech that went viral with several multiple millions of people watching it, was that i don't agree with the notion that financial reparations. i went on. so because i said that any amount of credible reparations would not be payable. i also feel and have been advocating passionately that originally would do well to teach and polish canadian history and schools. so you don't have a lot of a spectacle of polls as recently as the last couple of years showing the majority of british people claiming to be proud of the empire. and one thing it back, which was such an also thing, it was almost like, can you imagine a situation where the germans would want the nazi regime back? and yet that's what some people have written out of well for the notes. because the bodies don't teach, which was about, couldn't it as well don't teach college. and i told that history classes and schools that can you stand to lose $1200000000.00 annually. if the plan

to import process to poultry products from the u. s. is approved, the country's full tree breeders association says the plan will lead to the certification of the industry. finished poultry products. impulse probably is a direct threat to livelihoods, potentially pushing them and their families into poverty and exacerbating social issues. the ripple effect would be felt far and wide, potentially the stabilizing the delicate balance of the entire agriculture ecosystem. to poultry producers here, the last would come with a projected, a 75 percent reduction in demand for local poultry products. the association hazards kenya to draw lessons from the challenges faced by other african nations, such as south africa, donna and the son of all whose full tre industries suffer due to imports from wealthy countries. like the us earlier we spoke to the secretary general of the kenya national, small manufacturers and service organization, who says, adopting a proposal will mean that losses for the industry. 2.6000000.

beautiful is that would be f like $50.00. these are the same data beneficiaries of these economy attribute. so this is be a total loss so they can call me to do, i'd been better if they look full since then i've been enjoyed in this process by which even though he is or have views, there is a do you come from the data from from the processor from the transport industry, and those are the, from the breed on the views when the, the admin where the incorporated thing, because the, the move was same with the bus or no, it's not the same. yeah, the of the re does the processes so that drives for the mentor and also the tardies. so they make a movie then rows of so so maybe goods for all of these because those that, that mission and to stay with our to international. i'll be back with much more

news in less than 30 minutes. so by the i'd like to start off and jumping straight in with india's place in the well as right now. now, given into is power into, into your political wise that we're seeing what you expect from the country and the upcoming. yes. because again, there's been a force to reckon with for some time now, the economy has, was india in a very healthy place over the last generation going back to the liberalization of

1991. and since that india has been a steady, whereas seen a steady group pass on, irrespective of who's been in part. and we've seen that continuing over 3 decades now. and as a result in this is see not just as an emerging paul, but as apollo that in many ways as a much, it's already the was 3rd largest economy in purchasing power parity terms is likely to become the was 3rd largest in actual real dollar terms within the next 2. yeah. so this is a country that's on the right track by and large economically. and as a result, given it's have to, well, it's a most populous country in the world, even more populous than china today it's, it's likely that countries on all sides of the jo, politically divide, we're taking this seriously. that i think is a given whoever wins these electrons. having said that, it's also important that in depths of plays

a constructive and responsible role in the world community right now in that has been careful to maintain relationships on both sides of every device and discussion and ukraine, israel and the palestinians with the americans and the chinese and so on. but there are some inescapable challenges in india con, deny it has a very tense border with china. it continues to have on dissolved difficulties of boxes. some of these are some of the, put a new problems of indian foreign policy, and they remain still sadly unresolved, and those will have to be checked on the global stage. finally, i'd say that the fact that in the such an influential it sets on everything from cyberspace to august space makes it potentially a huge leads a significant considers, a global government. and that too makes india a false direct. and we're talking about state in days. thank you, and that's a lot left to us. they all view on the way in the or russian relationship relations between the 2 have been developing so far. how important do you think this

partnership is for india, which is usually important about the ship? it has been for a very long time in the when i busted visit mid to the, the, the soviet union and the old days and russia they're off to, has been amongst and is a most reliable constant. instead, foster friends in recent years and has been diversifying its sources of military equipment, which were heavily reliant on russia for many decades as recently as about 10 years ago. oh, i would say there's a more of them that maybe about 15 years ago. russia, accountants, 85 percent of all of them does defense inputs of today that's gone down to more like 40 percent. i would say the of course, a lot of spare parts and so on for what presented are important to continue to come in as well. as india has diversified it's sources. but despite the, as i think the friendship remains very significant, we have thought for a long time, enjoyed uh, should we say uh close a mutual understanding on

a number of issues. we have called for peace and view, create and conflict time, but india remains a voice for peace and most noble conflicts. so i would, i would probably leave it to that at this point of defense. as a major preoccupation of joe gilbert, your politics remains effect ups, but there are no major issues, dividing us. and as you know of recent, in recent years, it has become of a major consumer of russian oil and gas products. and this has also been a very important occurred for russia at a time of international sections. so there's some, uh, chevy se, mutual a win win on both countries. bob and i wasn't, stuff weren't there when it comes to dealing with the west, especially when it has this relationship with russia. well, the western countries have shown some understanding. i would say that india has its own foreign policy and is not, has always been historically allergic to freezing into any particular blog, a or

a line specially. india likes to have partners rather than allies. and that's again being the case. going back to the days of the non aligned movement on the funding, there are lots as prime minister. and this continued, even in the very different government, a prime minister movies in the sense that he has, he has stayed friendly for rough shots, even while being somewhere closer to the west. the previous in didn't, governments may have been the most important fit shuts off in this position on the russia, ukraine conflict because he's induced, kept his lines of communication open to both sides of for foreign minister. love has been to india a couple of times in the last year. he has in some offices of willing to listen to what he has to say. and i think that's something that's valuable to to the russians . as far as india is concerned, india relishes being able to talk from

a position of mutual respect with both with both the russians and the western countries. and indeed with the great, so i would leave it there, the support you said that you say in this future, a staying friends with all countries, with every body across the board. i'm just wondering where are the red lines for india because we've been covering this story recently about said canada and also a support. so 6 that for to do think this will play a large role in new delhi dealings with the west. the way certainly playing an odd size over to now relations with canada. it hasn't yet affected our relations any other wisdom country. because things haven't gone quite as far as they have in canada, where the government is seen by many new denny as being complicit in. encouraging a movement based in canada that are openly lovely, secessionist, an extremist, and that dialogue, but had been directly associated with acts of murder and mayhem in india,

including the bombing of an ad in the jet line in 1985 that took nearly 400 lives so it's not just the questions of supposing inflammatory rhetoric, which is the way the canadians prefer to see it for us uh the, the, the extremist elements in kind of that have cost in getting lives. and therefore, we have not been particularly sympathetic to canada as indulgent and solve those elements on this or it in the future of india. it does indeed look very dried, however, synonymous still continues. a catholic wise indeed is a developing country, while others see it as a highly developed nation, though in a long state of declare decay, as you was said yourself. what did you mean by that? it's a depiction of india. uh, i mean that point of view goes back to the late 19 ac is i would say that the cat has since been considerably repeated. and anyone visiting india today would be impressed by the it's the widespread use us off of computers and digital technology

. and even your, your, because the sellers with their carts on the screen would have a q r code on display so you can pay them by mobile. okay. it's a country. they're rushing impatiently to the 21st century. i said, why do you think i'll have somebody, let's still continue to cold into a developing country where it is you see? because the fact is that in this has people living in conditions still of acute poverty and despair efforts are being made. of course, to pull them out to which i think both the president government and the speed assesses have claimed some success in actually pulling large numbers of indians out of poverty. but there's still a lot of people who live bad either side of the funeral pipes until every indian has, has the guaranteed assurance of decent lives and 3 square meals a day and move over their heads as well as access to decent health care. and the

prospect of meaningful work. it's difficult to just blindly claim we have developed countries. even prime minister, mr. moseley, who is not particularly known for tempering is rhetoric has set the go all in the coming and developed countries 420-470-0000 of us, read about independence and that's 223 as a way. so i think even she didn't, probably minister will accept that. it's too early to call us to develop the country. we've got to wait 7 to get someone out here, especially vocal about how portez colonial will that affected india. would you say that that effect is still ongoing? i'd love to know. to what extent do think the colonial rule handed the developments of india? well it every conceivable respect, but it's a bit it's, it's, i think it's a bit lame today. 75 years makes sense. to blame is, i wrote a work of history. i bought a bought today. i think we have to take responsibility for our own problems. the british took one of the richest economies in the world,

one of the most prosperous countries in the world, and systematically pillage, bit new to this, and transformed it into a post to try and for 3rd world poverty and dispense with one of the newest life expectancies on the planets and the highest rates of poverty of the planets when they left. so there is nothing good that one can say for 200, you as a british colonialist of the same time that was 75. yeah. 77 years ago now that made it left and i think we'd have to stand up and say, we'd take responsibility for taking off future in our own hands and making it work . obviously, many of the passions left behind by the boss is still in deal with it. so i'm the administrator of framework or land holding patterns, all population issues. but the fact still remains that we now are responsible, and we will take responsibility is also shaping our own dest. you bought the pass code for the prisoners government to pay reparations to its former colonies. is

that something that you still think should be done and how to move like the benefit india now is that or even a some race enough that i've been slightly misrepresented on that? what i said in that particular speech that went viral with several multiple millions of people watching it, was that i don't agree with the notion that financial reparations. i went on. so because i said that any amount of credible reparations would not be payables. indeed, an economist has said, that's the actual monetary value of business exploitation of in this can only be estimated at 45 trillion boats. and since the person has a, a bug cap that has a total gdp of 5 trillion, i think $45.00 trillion is impossible to pay. so any credible setup would not be payable. and any payable ticket would not be credible because whatever, uh, brittany can pay in the end. reparations would pale by comparison. for the box

damage done the lives on necessarily last, we have the, the simplex procreation and expectation of in the library is put in your groups. that doesn't mean the accounts pay reparations to smaller calling these worthy songs wouldn't be more affordable and more realistic. and i'm not presuming to speak for barbados. so diana, i'll see, and i live in saying that they don't meet reparations. that it may well do the funding the, i think the, the moral and told him by the but it is just far more important. the british of never apologized but 200 years of colonialism and i think it's high time they did. so it's a distance, a good opportunity for them to do so. but since unity of the egregious, i'm tragic jelly, i'm all about messic up. but when that's and tina retain, the british prime minister was not able to go beyond that expression of redirect, which most people would consider the mild. and we also feel that i also feel and have been advocating passionately that originally would do well to teach and polish

canadian history and schools. so you don't have a lot of the spectacle of poles as recently as the last couple of he is showing the majority of what it is people claiming to be proud of the empire and one thing a back which or something. i also think it was almost like, can you imagine a situation where the germans would want the nazi regime back? and yet that's what some people have written out well for the notes. because the british don't teach the truth about, couldn't it as well don't teach college. and i told the history classes and schools and that should be rectified. and the other thing i suggested is, with that capital london being a, was the capital of museums. they should think seriously of constructing a serious museum of colonialism that would show visits as from around england and around the world. what they did to foreign countries and how they gained from is as well as what damage they did to others. that could be a useful history lessons just as german students today are bused to the concentration camps. a museum of colonialism in london. what do i think that was

also good? those are far more important than monetary reparations. but starting off with a simple, sorry, it would take us a long way and data. i couldn't agree more. now in the ninety's he said as a special you and assistance, a peace keeping operations. could you give us an idea of what that experience was like especially, and then went up to the cost of a war of 99? well i, i worked for a long time ago, not terribly long, had a change in 9 year career. the united submissions, during which time i spent a very meaningful of 70 students in the united nations peacekeeping department, during which i was the team leader for the former yugoslavia. so i was, the person was up writing the reports of the secretary general, attending the security council meetings, visiting uber savvy a more times than is entirely wise and safe, a boxing through mine fields of and facing stipends,

and all that fun. why did the same time having to of having to do the diplomacy in new york with the countries, particularly the members of the security council of the troops contributing countries on peacekeeping operations. by the time cost of what happened, i had left me sleeping to serve in the office. the 2nd general coffee under which is where i was when the bombing of the initial bombing of 99. it could and also was more on us forcibly separated from sub yes, that was a different experience. i was mostly in the peacekeeping department, but indeed, it's fair to say that the peacekeeping did buffington 10 bucks to do with that. it was of a nature operations that love resulted in that particular situation, but i was involved from the beginning of the civil war, $91.00. once the e u monitors pulls out in the u. n. came in and in fact i was the person who led the 1st exploratory mission for the us. and along with a finished cults, we travel through the wall fields and the was owns between the subs and the trots

in october 1991. and we were dubious about the feasibility of peacekeeping at the time. but the world had already decided this was going to be the u. n's talk potatoes. and so the report for you wrote to the security council, wherever you said that there wasn't really an easy, viable peacekeeping concept to be suggested. something that the policies put agreed upon was the one that was, was chosen, and then subsequently as a whole, washington erupt in bosnia and so on and spread throughout the former yugoslavia. i remained the person in the un peacekeeping department dealing with these problems with our all of a small team about his costs of the rather large operation on the ground that grew as it. busy from a handful of observers when i 1st got involved to something like 88000. so just by the time i left to the end of $96.00, on the election of kofi island to be sector general said was

a huge period of my life of one that showed i would say many of the opportunities and the limitations of applying the peacekeeping technique to places where there was no peace to keep. and that's something we could talk about the greater length. then this particular format to much. i know the last week you saw the in the general election and through the 2nd phase of those encoding in your constituency. what do you think about how the voting process is going the well, we had somebody shoes in catalogue, where my states, with the turnouts could not be properly accommodated many boots, and a lot of voters, not only in my constituency, but swap my states. i tend to way off to way to a, you know, it's a long hours and cues to vote and that shouldn't have happened. and we have complained to the election commission that this was mismanaged, but by law, you know, of, i think the, the election came across otherwise, as, as, as free and fair. we've had our issues with some of the technologies used. we would

ideally like a larger sample of both a verified paper trail machines to be counted alongside the electronic voting machines. and that sort of thing, which is a pending ongoing issue and they didn't elections. but otherwise, we had a new 70 percent, an option catalog and, and another state slate to this. but i would say that the 1st couple of phases have gone without any untoward incident. certainly no violence or anything like this. people are coming out to vote. the campaign is progressing. many of us including me personally, feel that the process is far too long. it need not have required 7 phases. the election commission has identified to conduct these polls. i think it could have been disposed of quickly, but yeah, from the voting being cost in my constituency. last friday to the declaration of results on the on the 4th of june. that's more than 40 days,

i think closer to 48 days. and that's an awfully long time to wait to know the results, not terribly from the about that, but otherwise no complaint so far it's gone. it's been reason be well and we hope the remaining faces will go without incident as well. and the reason i say you identified the main goal of the car in selections as preserving, quote, the main idea of india. could you explain to as of what you meant by that, please, that we have cherished for the longest time, an idea of india, that those of an intrusive nation is rich. all religions, all costs or losses. old creeds, all languages, and people have all state's lives in equality and harmony in our country. that's. that's what the idea of in depth and trying to in our constitution, by the way, is all about we have on fortunately rooting policy for the last 10 years. that does not share the idea of indian that indeed is our errors to a political move in the reject to the constitution,

but it was framed because they believed india should be a shouldn't do rough check. admission of induced english people of other states live on sufferings, either as guess or as i'm welcome into the we don't agree with that reading of in there. we don't agree with the reading of history, and we don't agree with the implied lack of. so some harmony that this what to do so we believe that india belongs to all who are part of its culture of civilization and demography. and we believe everyone has survived in an india where equal rights have been a cherished principle for us. and, and i, for example, if someone has written extensively about this kind of in depths, i'm deeply frustrated to see in the being reduced to a land that comes across as bigoted. an intolerant. which in many ways is, is fundamentally on india and, and what is worse. so they're doing this in the name of, in books. well, where is such as it shows that funds are meant to be on the, in the, in the resume is a famously order embrace in face the acceptance difference and expect and fix all

sorts of differences within its belief systems. and between it's and all the belief systems. so it's, it's a, it's a, it's a bit complicated to basically a good space, but essentially evaluate a simplified photo for an audience. it is about inc to service. it includes civic death versus intolerance. india is what we see this selection as being about. just one final question before we die. if i may, as a full menu, an officer, how would you assess the will and body's response to the car and what are we seeing and gone? is it comparable to any of your previous mission? this would you say? unfortunately, i'm afraid. the. the conflict in the middle east has always been one that of you and has found difficult to deal with. except on the rare occasions when all the principal pauses involved are willing to agree on a piece. we well as you know, instrumental in the very 1st space, the 1948 you into supervision organizations in jerusalem. remote instrumental in

the piece in the suez canal, crisis of 1956. and we brought in a un peacekeepers off of the 1967 wolf who lingered so long. this time i would regroup job to the 1973 will also when i was a could, we will help boost. but we will prepay, able to restore peacekeeping operations today. i find no immediate prospect of doing anything meaningful. i would certainly want the un to lead efforts for peace . but the fact is that the um is really government um with what they consider to be just cause after the heating is attacks of the 7th of october on innocent civilians . they have a mock diploma campaign which as you know, many have considered as bordering and genocide. and in the circumstances of the un

kenyon, the active, the security council unanimously agrees on an intervention that to that, to stop this kind of conflict of the security council is not agreeing because the us and some of its allies are not sympathetic to any desire to impose a piece upon these remedies, but there is a serious uh, amount of, of talking going on behind the scenes about the possible seas. why? but it does not seem to involve the united nations. it seems to be lead principally by the united states and a couple of states in the middle east, notably got to era and others who have been working with both of us and israel to try and come across us with a viable formula that can bring about peace, so i can say frankly that the u. n. has distinguish itself with the surprises, but i'm not sure it's entirely reasonable to believe that you and yeah, i was looking more critical of you and for not having intervene earlier to prevents the russia you creating problems next. because when it was being widely totally

dropped for weeks before the war broke out, that it will might be a minute. that would have been the right time for you and 60 generals to send the missionaries to both must go and cube, and if necessary, to nature capitals, to find a formula that could have avoided this, this tragic war. and very was critical of you and i am not similarly critical of you in here because i understand the dynamics of there's not much that the you and could have done in a situation where super paws are directly involved. and i'm not prepared to agree on a piece for me to start with. are always an absolute pleasure. many thanks for speaking to us today. thank you all the best to you the or oh the

the, [000:00:00;00] the
