india now for the third time is trying to get the asian countries together to find a way to possibly either remove what they call this asian premium or do more business with the u.s. so when you talk about the shale output earlier you're absolutely right i think that the saudis have got to be put in a little bit of a show to quell the concerns that china and india have right now because they're getting ready to talk with each other they're getting ready to talk with japan and south korea and they want to put together basically an oil buying club and specifically with regard to india rajiv i mean recently they said that they would continue despite u.s. sanctions on iran that the indians would continue to buy iranian oil is india really a huge market for oil from the middle east. it is it's second only to china it's third in the in the world behind china and the u.s. so yes the demand is definitely there it's going to continue to grow if we fast forward just a handful of years we're talking about probably china and india consuming fifty percent of what production we see globally in oil

marital rape isn't even a crime in india but don't get too comfy think of women only face this level of sexual violence in long like india the united states the wealthiest nation on earth the shining beacon on a hill for democracy lovers around the world ranks third worst in the world for sexual violence against women to put it into perspective we tied with syria for the third worst spot in the category that covers conflict related violence domestic physical and mental abuse known as non-sexual violence afghanistan syria and india topped the list with the united states coming in six the worst overall one in three american women will be a victim of non-sexual violence in their lifetime nearly twenty people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the united states taking into account the use of and high rates of ownership of firearms domestic violence can turn deadly much quicker in the us than in many developing nations for existing human trafficking it's talked about a lot but not many still don't think it's a real issue in modern society unfortunately for one arou

have nothing to do with india so if anybody is mentioned to you please tell them to talk to me. and sole objective on the taliban. and afghanistan actually more than. is to have peace in afghanistan pakistan will be the biggest beneficiary of a peaceful strong vibrant of the. we will be the biggest loser if understand is weak if afghanistan is has got a lot of. terrorist activity and other things happening who will be the biggest loser part of us we will be and this thing is very contagious terrorists don't recognize borders we should get away from this mindset do you know here's the line so they have a problem we don't know this thing blows like so we disagree with musharraf when he admits that yes i have to stand his statement is actually is and to the views we hold of what i think the congress of his statement. read several statements but not this particular one is that we sacrifice a lot for them and then when he. as they were called were being trained but in pakistan to go fight and liberate the country we were part of the whole effort with the united states and others that

this is not it's maybe part of a social construct of the way it has evolved in society as practiced in india but it's not intrinsic to the faith and i can show you as i've done in the book scriptural examples anecdotes from history parables from our our great old epics and other poor honor's which see that you should not pay attention to superficial external distinctions such as caste hierarchy but it's true that many hindus still practice it and particularly when it comes to discrimination against people because of their belonging to supposedly lower caste that is actually illegal in india it's against the constitution where we have an affirmative action program for the so called costs and tribes from the lowest street of society the most the most unfortunate members of our society but discrimination prohibiting people entry into temples for example on the grounds of their cost that's illegal an action can be taken against you if you practice caste and that's what some would argue it is of a scale of say racism in the united states is the only difference is where is reeses visible castors n

than supporting at home i think i think look taliban have nothing to do with india so if anybody is mentioned to you please tell them to talk to me. back. and sole objective on the taliban. and afghanistan actually more than the other is to have peace in afghanistan pakistan will be the biggest beneficiary of a peaceful strong vibrant of the. we will be the biggest loser if understand is weak if one is that is has got a lot of. terrorist activity and other things happening who will be the biggest loser part of us we will be and this thing is very contagious terrorists don't recognize borders we should get away from this mindset that you know here's the line so they have a problem we don't know this thing blows like so we disagree with musharraf when he admits that yet have the sound statement is actually is and to the views we hold of what i think the context of a statement. read several statements but not this particular one is that we sacrifice a lot for them and then when he. as they were called were being trained but in pakistan to go fight and liberate the country we were part

india on one side. on the other side you know i mean we wish you both india and china you know able to you know resolve their differences and not have small countries like most of us get caught in between you know it's very difficult for a small country not just the maldives but also for other developing small countries in east asia and africa but you know we need development funds from somewhere and unfortunately in our u.k. or u.s. not providing that kind of development financing and so many countries not just maldives are being forced to go to china because those funds are available from china and you know when you have a democratic country where people's aspirations are high you know expectations have suddenly gone up you know the constitution of that you have you are entitled to tell you have a right to holocene you have a right to safe drinking water then the government is forced to do something about it for president i'll stop you there more from former president all these mohammad wahid son afte

and i think there is enough evidence that india old so is supporting terrorist groups in pakistan so i don't know what gave first and what game second but if that happened then both countries become. part of the solution and part of the problem and that's what you're seeing i think then that's what if you see press reports in isolation you me not really get to all of it but no country in their right mind will support terrorism particularly pakistan which has been a major victim and it's not just in one area it's all through the country because the citizens are free to travel so we are fighting for the all resources at our disposal disposal we believe that the solution to crisis in a with honest is not through terrorism it should be through economic development good governance and pakistan two parts and it applies to both and also if we get all create jobs open opportunities for people give them hope that isn't will come it has come down in pakistan but not in not completely eliminated thank you so much help i'm going to take good luck with everything. in july twenty seventh team hunt

sanctions on iran that the indians would continue to buy iranian oil it's india really a huge market for oil from the middle east. it is it's second only to china it's third in the in the world behind china and the u.s. so yes the demand is definitely there it's going to continue to grow if we fast forward just a handful of years we're talking about probably china and india consuming fifty percent of what production we see globally in oil i mean they need the oil so right now they're struggling with the price and they've been very vocal about where opec has been taking prices higher they blame opec as as we're seeing a lot of people both in india and in the u.s. are and you can't question the fact that opec might just be putting a little bit of window dressing on one hundred sixty one thousand barrels not enough and again aramco that aramco i.p.o. which isn't talked being talked about a lot the saudis need the crude oil prices to be up over seventy five probably closer to eighty so i don't think we've seen the highs yet well i mean the blaming on the highway oil prices i'm sure the s

we will be able to deal with this issue of climate change how invented is this competition between india and china over the maldives especially given that they are obviously in the brics movement the new trade to block if you think to an end to an extent it suits the european look you think to an extent it suits the european union. and. later nations that there is this is nations that there is a fight between these two is this fight between these two massive piles it is definitely not help massive piles it is definitely not healthy for motives i mean for motives i mean india and china may have had their differences on india and china may have had their differences of other issues for a long time as of other issues for a long time. border issues and so now they have border issues and so now the prime minister speaks fluent mandarin history speaks fluent mandarin. but you know but they also. want you know but they also operate according operating on technology on economy affairs on the economy and so on and trade so fast and so on and trade so i mean it's unfortunate i mean it's unfortunat

it and the general argument is it was support the tout taliban in afghanistan because we don't want india to go into pakistan into afghanistan so let's assume that's true and pakistanis arming the afghan taliban who is it is there no better ways to deal with india than supporting it who i think i think look taliban have nothing to do with india so if anybody is mentioned to you please tell them to talk to me. and sole objective on the taliban. and afghanistan actually more than taliban is to have peace in afghanistan pakistan will be the biggest beneficiary of a peaceful strong vibrant of the. we will be the biggest loser if understand is weak if one is than is has got a lot of. terrorist activity and other things happening who will be the biggest loser part of us we will be and this thing is very contagious terrorists don't recognize borders we should get away from this mindset that you know here's the line so they have a problem we don't know this thing blows like so we disagree with musharraf when he admits that yet i have to stand statement is actually is and to the views we hold a lo

india on one side and on the other side i mean we were both india and china you know able to you know resolve their differences and not have small countries. in between you know it's very difficult for a small country not just the maldives but also for other developing small countries in east asia and africa but you know we need development funds from somewhere and unfortunately in our. us not providing that kind of development financing and so many countries not just maldives are being forced to go to china because those funds are available from china and you know when you have a democratic country where people's aspirations are high expectations suddenly going up you know the constitution that you have you are entitled to the you have a right to housing you have a right to safe drinking water then the government is forced to do something about it for a president. more from former president all these mohammad wahid son after the break. vivienne westwood in downing street to protest a government energy plans that critics say will cause earthquakes in britain let alone lead to global d

welcome back all the top diplomats and internationally one of india's most prominent politicians she threw a has been in the news of the charges surrounding the death of his wife the full statement from his lawyers can be found on our website but we can't talk to him about an ongoing court case the former united nations under-secretary general however can talk about his new book why i am a hindu and he joins me now especially thanks for coming back on the great american great american writer called the dell said the whole decline of the west can be attributed to the failure of pantheism or the loss of pantheism but you say in the new book that the hindu ism can mean no god at all so what is end of us hindus was we really of approaching our understanding of the cosmos which doesn't actually require us to believe in god in the personalized anthropomorphic sense in fact for a thousand years the hindu idea of god was rather like the muslim idea that is that god cannot be given a shame or form a gender shape a bigger part cannot be touched the nude imagine could be an idea could be a spar

well if we're going to see that iran may not be somewhere where china india and turkey can go they'll gladly go to the russians that makes perfect sense of the russians have been against keeping these production cuts and when you look at where oil prices are you know you could probably say there's some justification for it and so ultimately what we're going to find is saudis and russians will probably find a happy medium as long as oil continues to head up saudis will probably still entertain the idea of russia entering opec and as long as we're above seventy to seventy two dollars which we're well above right now there are a ramp to i.p.o. the saudis aramco i.p.o. it's probably fine for another road show at the end of this year and beginning of next i think it's going to be a balance and i think we'll see how long opec will let the russians continue to increase output of course they're only agreement is one as a non opec members so right now it's actually what the u.s. has asked an increase in production you don't want to is so interesting everything you say i want to take half a ste

you by including in china and india and pakistan. and i. am sure the other countries will also use this organization to to solve. problems of mutual interest. as for further expansion we have agreed that the current structure is optimal for the moment we need to see how the organization works in this expanded format you are correct in saying that. which is because this was just the first meeting with india and pakistan supporters are patient we need to see how it works out we need to see how effective it is in the long term and then we will make further steps for further expansion of the organization. yes it's on the political resume and southern. russia channels i missed the putin. station there is this drama unfolding around the g. seven summit in quebec. regarding russia's possible return to the g. seven. how can you say about mr trump's statement and other people's statements about this possible return of russia into the g.'s seven weeks because. we have already overcome. what we are already their c.e.o. is much better than the g seven

from india to n.s.a. and so it's not just because of nothing but it's because of presidents cases the india has not the best reputation anyway and in sharing data with the n.s.a. that been a scandal it's not a good signal to let there be unity get data from six not keep in touch with all our news twenty four seven r.t. don't call me and i showed you a bullet in here not international coming out we call him brain but thirty five minutes time for another for me kevin zero in a very good afternoon. when the makers manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the room in closest to protect themselves. in the final larry go round the sun be the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signal. for the real news is. the way. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent i just want

from about fifty percent to just over thirty and some of the world's largest economies including china india and russia are not represented by geoffrey tucker the executive editor at laissez faire of books i think that the g seven is actually losing its relevance. i should not one that's just the g seven which excludes china and russia as as trump himself put it out there doesn't constitute if you believe these figures not even half of the world's g.d.p. it's no longer a relevant body even in the sense that they believe there's a more fundamental problem here the world economy is increasingly decentralized and integrated in a way that it alludes controlled by anybody any g where the g seven g eight g twenty g two hundred the big topic of discussion is trumps crazy trade war stuff and his demand for national production and punish in other countries is starting in destructive trade routes and raising prices this is all very dangerous behavior and to the extent that something like the g. seven could contain that problem it's really hard to know whether or not in the future of these kind of gove

and pakistan but india and pakistan are not in the same economic condition as north korea you know they have either a bargaining tool so the question then my question to you is how would you draw the line between a deterring being simply a deterrent a military means for dissuading a possible attack as opposed to a deterring being a negotiating tool dottie's brought into every single conversation well i think that to avoid this problem the most important thing will be to try to create more economic cooperation with north korea because if north korea doesn't have a reason to blackmail the other countries international community they're not going to do that so if they want to develop develop their economy they need less sanctions they need to cooperate more with especially with neighboring countries so my opinion is that if this process leads to. some sort of partial integration of north korea into the regional community or international community especially in economic terms this problem of proliferation of blackmailing will not be a problem anymore so i think that to avoid this we should

trade representative arrived in india yesterday for two days of talks which actually just wrapped up the talks were reportedly aimed at a settlement of their trade disagreements obtaining an exemption from metals tariffs seems to be the primary indian negotiating objective while the u.s. has complaints about india's use of the general system of preferences and trade rules indian prime minister narendra modi is taking a position of optimism about resolving the specific complaints perhaps as part of a broader trade deal even has he builds ties with china and meanwhile the chinese state council announced yesterday that tariffs that they have on soil and several other indian imports will be curtailed as of july first chinese tariffs on soil imports from a number of regional neighbors including south korea will also be repealed. and are to have the opportunity to speak with the russian energy minister alexander no back and we ask about u.s. sanctions related to russian aluminum industry roussel in particular and mr novak said quote these sanctions affect american companies as well since t
