statically elected politician and leading figure into nice him politics. my dad has played an instrumental role in promoting democracy in human rights into niecy in the spring, his imprisonment along with at least 16 of their political prisoners this month, including politicians, journalists, and judges. is a blatant attempt to suppress opposition. voices. 5 for johnny was arrested into new z a last month on charge is related to a media company accuser for mounting calles and conspiring against state security. that johnny had previously lived in the eggs on in the u. k. before returning to new jersey on the 2011 revolution. and so i think it's an m p from the another party to news he is post our spring government has often been accused of political, for agility, deadlock corruption, and widespread ineffectiveness. following the 2011 revolution to nicea it can, a growth has virtually storm. some old economic monopolies have remained in task for the public sector, has been quit by work,

has flags the attempts democratic transition seemingly persistent for several years before the country's government became increasingly more intolerant and oppressive . according to its critics to new jersey. as current president was elected in 2019 a made reco, low voter turnout, and he's been struggling to secure more public support. martinez, he ends up being rallying and supported the country's political prisoners. we gauged opinions on the streets of the country's capital. oh no, been a less to day. we consider security forces as non republican. they are affiliated to k. he said, who is illegitimate? because he bridge the constitution abuse the trust and his mental the state. he is an illegitimate who perpetrated a crime against the country, and those security forces that prevented us from rallying, even though we had notified them about at 72 hours in advance as per law. and i'm another 1st of all, these president has no ears. he does not listen to any one. he's a dictator who does not have the capacity to dictate and he puts people in prison

because he fears it and does not know the act of his do not fear any prison canada . and here i am here to day to support the detainees, or rather they are kidnapped by the state because there is no legal action against them. there is a detainee brush, it inquiry in critical condition, and he's suffering from a disease. and he's on the brink of death. likewise, there is another guy whose health condition is critical. he said they are not detainees, spect kid matt, and about to die. there are numerous humanitarian cases like them. right saw radio editor and political analyst alexander mackay state is not enough to hold elections for a nation to become a democracy. the issues that created the arab spring in tunisia which were fundamentally economic issues. and also the revolts in egypt, which was again about economic issues. those problems have large lead not been sold by the governments that came to power after the arab spring revolt. so it's been

made much worse. and this comes down to questions of sovereignty until these nations in the arab nations recover their sovereignty, are able to assert that sovereignty both on economic and political level. then these problems are going to keep reoccurring because it is about fundamentally control of the economy by a local, i least that is tied to western powers, mainly the europeans and the americans. and therefore, you have governments which are not acting in the interest of the great masses of the people. you can have all the elections and summits about democracy that you like. when bless you are securing sovereignty and control over your own nation's resources over your own economy. then the political changes just won't matter. thanks for joining us here. we're not in to national. we always appreciate your company will be back at the top of the hour with over latest news updates with

oh, hello, i'm manila chad. you are you into modus operandi. now ever since the famous golden escalator ride down in 2015, when donald trump made his 1st official announcement that he was running for president of the united states, it was the announcement that re shaped political strategy all around the world. this week will explore the so called trump effects all around the world on every continent in every country. there's at least one politician on a stage somewhere, who is compared to trump. all right, let's get into the ammo. me

after trump one in 2016, we've seen global imitators wanna bees and those who subscribe to the so called trump and philosophy of mega civilians and politicians alike love them, hate them. trump ushered in a whole new brand of flame throwing politics. there's the left, there's the right. then there's trunk from all political camps in ideology, the trump style has made its mark on how politics are played. they discussed president trump was a controversial figure, perhaps no other american president or politician has actually been subjected to as much scrutiny criticism and outright condemnation than the 45th president of the united states. but president trump stoked controversy. not only in the us,

the former president was well known for his criticisms of china, from fears over tick tock, corrupting the nation's youth and gathering americans data to calls to end what he referred to as unfair trade deals with the asian superpower, president trump made no bones about his views that china was a major threat to domestic security. if we didn't get hit by the plague from china, this thing we wouldn't have even of between us. i would have cancelled this the congress for most of the rallies. i wouldn't have needed around that's a little bit unfair, but that's okay. that's what john has done. jor neisha, they've screwed us for a long time. a lot of differed was no, never has anybody ripped or far, no shit like china. and i've take it in billions and billions of dollars. we never took it. we never took in $0.10 from china, and i gave $28000000000.00 right? $28000000000.00 for the farmers because they were targeted unfairly by java. then

there was nato president. trump continually braided member countries in the trans atlantic military alliance for not paying their fair share, a minimum 2 percent of their national gdp into supporting the block. according to trump, he successfully convinced several nations in the alliance to increase their military spending. but despite the president's near constant attacks on foreign nations that he viewed as treating the u. s. unfairly, many leaders throughout the world have actually been compared to trump and in some ways kind of sought to emulate him. in europe alone, there's no shortage. for example, hunger is victor or bon has been compared to trump. the small central european countries leader has written that wave of populist christian nationalism in his own country seeking to reduce migration and placing emphasis on the historical values of the hungarian people. he even tweeted criticism when trump was banned from

twitter. more recently georgia maloney in italy. she's been compared to number 45. her aggressive rhetoric against illegal immigration of african migrants across the mediterranean from libya, has also been compared to trump's work to build the border wall along americas southern border. outside of europe, there's no shortage of examples. ok, brazil j year, both sonata once called the trump of the tropics for his nationalist, pro christian agenda, critic, se both leaders were unwilling to accept losses in their most recent electoral defeat. let's head over to asia prime minister of india. no render modi's version of hindu nationalism and his good relations with donald trump have come to attention. many mainstream media outlets. and then who can forget the sometimes harsh rhetoric of the former president of the philippines, rodrigo do tirty when it came near cracking down on violence and drug crime on his

island nation. so it seems, whatever you think of donald trump, plenty of leaders around the world have something in common with, if not just outright imitating his style of leadership. and as we know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. so who better to discuss the global trump effect than a former politician during the trump years? dr. corbin can. nasal is the former foreign minister of austria now and energy analyst and academic dr. can, i will thank you for being with us. so for decades, donald trump had, you know, kind of flirted with the idea of waiting into politics. nobody took him seriously in 2015 because he had top, had toyed with the idea for so long. most people thought it was another publicity stunt. but then he actually ran and then actually won,

analyze donald trump's influence on the world of politics for us. what sort of impact or impression has he made on the landscape? donald trump is a self made business man. he has a completely different attitude to politics than those personalities. the breeders of success, those who have done the typical apostles of going through politics. and that makes a difference. he's not living from politics as proper business, but he has been making his career, his professional life, his personal life, although by his own means and that makes the difference. now, prior to the us 2016 presidential elections globally, politicians were labeled far right or far left or other generic terms. now people are called trump in donald trump is used as a barometer or

a scale on which we measure someone's politics. now, look at brazil's, out on president j are both nato, he was called, trump, the tropics. what does being trump in mean to you? i would say, is a star, this observer, as somebody who is really not into political sciences of contemporary us politics. it's hard, poor republican, maybe for the worst, for people who felt marginalized. and this might be one approach. but honestly, when, when you would like to insist on that on a term like from pissed of being trump pm, this is nothing specific to the us that's specific to the person of color trans. because when i refer, for instance to a personality like, shall the goal. the goal list has, is a proper political party. it's

a very important party. and this is nothing specific to the u. s. on the contrary, you will find it in many countries. look at the family also. nicole and indian gandhi, his daughter, the congress party. i mean, if you will find that in many huge democracies, whether it's india, whether it's france or political personalities, have had that imprint wister name on a political party on or on the movement. do you think other right leaning politicians look to donald trump as i don't know, some sort of example or, or use him perhaps as subject matter to study and attempt to emulate for their own careers, such as the tactics that he used to come to power. oh, i don't seek to become when you take, for instance, hungarian prime minister,

victor, all of them or benjamin netanyahu. a game is really prime minister. both politicians, both sets of gum and have been us. the good most probably all was in the future. align themselves. we stopped trump once more, but they are crucial as politicians is so different, their historic and political circumstances differ profoundly from from what a u. s. president is. so i don't see that such an aloe. she makes sense. her doctor can either don't go anywhere. she is staying with us and so she would you coming up next. justin trudeau, emanuel micron. there the cool kids in the politics club, but somewhat compare them to the movie. mean girls find out why when we return, sit tight. the ammo will be right back. out

ah, memory loss is unusual, forgetfulness, a form of memory losses and ability to recall past events. it can be general to war concerns, some specific events solely. in some cases, the memory laws can extend back decades. mm. start an intensive course of memory recovery on our t. mm . ah, who needs to come to the russians state local narrative. i've stivers, i'm phoning most landscape div asking him,

i'm not getting calls. i'll slap a group in the 55 when. okay, so my new fargo speed, anyone else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machines. the state on russia today and split ortiz sport that even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and with the west, is self centered, egotistical, and very unaware. this is particularly true when it comes to conflict in ukraine for the west. ukraine is some kind of moral crusade for the rest of the world. ukraine is the crisis created by the west,

and they don't want to have anything to do with ah lou, welcome back to the ammo doctor korean can nasal. the former foreign minister of austria has graciously stuck around to talk to us,

the more doctor can i. so thank you for being with us. so what other politicians in history can you think of for better or worse? who had had a similar impact on the global stage? well, as i just mentioned before, i had showed a good he was quite a personality and given the fact that he was the deed of to friends resistance during world war 2. and he was also the one who established a franca, german tandem in the 1960 s in terms of reconciliation between germans and french. he definitely has left an imprint and i've studied this personality for quite a while, having been educated in france, but it would be now difficult to really do fair play to older those who left dramatically in transcends having mentioned india or have

courses somebody like mahatma gandhi has to be mentioned and the list is long. so it's, it's really difficult to, to number them and it will most probably sound a little bit eurocentric if i just mention rashadi goal and, and leave for all the others for the list would be long. and like, i could imagine we would spend hours in the evening to, to really be fair to all those who had their tremendous share in shaping, at least the international relations of to last century. while there are many who embrace trump is i'm or donald trump himself, there's probably an equal number. those who reject trump is an, an the man as well. and we saw back in the 2017, at the 2017 g, 20 summit where a manual micron and justin trudeau and others were sort of making fun of him. he

was sort of the outcast or outsider, can you examine for us? why so many reject trump, including other world leaders? this is just bad manners the way they acted. i remember very well that behavior in both situations because it's, it's, i mean not to go over stage or what counts india. and that there is also some sort of chemistry passing between personalities and they might differ profoundly in their character, in the ideological view of the world perception of the world. and still you can get along with each other. and this is what it is all about, to have a respect, full and professional direct mapping into action. so if you just consider yourself as a period to somebody else because that somebody else is having

a different approach, it's a full in international relations india. good manners and respect to contribute to law. all right, so you say declining diplomatic relations actually comes from declining social manners, i think is so has led to this comb or maybe even silent. that's the diplomacy has gone through and i was a junior diplomat in the late eighties and early 19 nineties. and i still have the pleasure to work for ambassadors who have talented and talent is a lot. it's not only about education for everything in love. you need a certain portion of talent. we have a lot of untenanted diplomats right now. and i always had the tour that i went to the east. the battle i was received. i mean, it might sounds a superficial, but i,

i consider it. it's important that you are kind of received a, a d h, you receive more than just a cold coffee. but maybe you even invited for lunch or dinner. and this makes a difference. it makes a difference. and i've seen a much higher decree of professional and and, and also how should i put it, not only professional, but also this human touch that you need to know, that there's a true conversation evolving between people. and we are not either written with people with all our senses and you have to, to, to, to, to craft in the moment you are sitting down with your counterpart also. how does your counterpart feel today? and are you really supposed to go through all the talking points?

are you really supposed to have this or that element included in the conversation? maybe by the skip it because your counterpart is just passing through a tremendous domestic problem or has had a personal loss. so all that is counts and we are humans in our conversation and our approaches and to come back to donald trump. i think he had that or he still has, i mean he's still around and that, that makes difference. and for my far distant observation for me to like trump is a child of his time of his society. i mean, he is his diary much in new york. and if i see also, i think you have to new york that behind you is much more a new yorker than he's a washingtonian. and that also makes a difference. and i always said, lot trump in my eyes, has a lot of instinct or he has gut instinct and he has the right thing to identify the

fundamentals of a certain issue. but maybe he lacks tactics and strategy. so, oh, well for that you also need good people, the cabinet that you brought in many, many, many members of his family to support him. and that whether this was a good choice or not, it's not up to me to judge it. now it's up to the american electorate of but he's a man of instincts, and he is a man of, of his time, his generation. and i think he brought into the u. s. establishment a lot of, of new edges. and a he says, not just kind of fish that passes through it is much more of a character, and that makes a difference. there are many around the world who say trump was the shock into the

world of politics that it needed. interpret that as you wish. would you agree was his style of politics? not only shocking, but ultimately do you think it was helpful or harmful to state craft? is a very tough question because i know it's too early to check that in. we are certainly in a time of very swift developments, but to really just ship is the time of 2017 to 2020 with he. oh, how we he will decide after the midterms. next week we'll you pronounce his come back as a potential candidate for it. so it's, it's still too early to say what imprint donald trump will leave on stage craft in the long run. but he definitely brought a lot of fresh air into the washingtonian establishment outside of strictly

politics. what is or has been the trump effect on society writ large? i would say on society, his impact was that a huge force just to you as an actor, read in the mid west that felt marginalized. people who didn't register for elections anymore were mobilized again and had some how to feeling that there is somebody non washington who represents them. it's not the east coast west coast. it's not a big cities. it's not a big university. it's not the think tanks. but there was this self may not, not fully self made because he had inherited a lot from his father and grandfather, but to a large extent, nevertheless, a business man who has made his fortune and who wanted to, to the politics of,

for his, for very personal convictions, and this if you want is a kind of also old style approach because to do politics as a business and to be a professional politician is a rather recent development, both in the u. s. and, and also in many parliament on the old continent. but the huron, donald trump, who most probably made an impact, and maybe there is also a change in terms of choosing candidates in the long run in many other countries. because we see that the crisis of political parties are losing their, their real mission. i mean, as you put, as you asked to do at the very beginning of our conversation, i did the traditional characterization of political parties. it's gone

a long time ago. it's gone because there's not any more d left d, right. as we had to the beginning of 20th century and maybe god trump introduced the come back to return offer of political personalities of characters. dr. cut in can i sole former foreign minister of austria. thank you so much for this enlightening peak behind the curtain of politics and state craft. and that is gonna do it for this weeks episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep into foreign affairs. i'm your host manila chan. thank you for tuning and we'll see you again next week to figure out the ammo in ah

ah ah, trade will never be a victory for russia. wait, we shall see where you're still waiting for you, a new modem, but you look at a meal. crane war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. as oman are made, it comes to not should get done in carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're

not in your gauging conflict, aggression for use. the american forces are here and defend nato allies. what happens that nato escalates even more than the special military operation become a war when you put them up. so that was the show and that'll that doesn't, is my dog. i see it that i see your to us. thank you. costliest. go to me live. so i use 3 you should week and you stuff to with spent them. let's see when you read only this, don't foolish them in your sewage there. i see you got to go home when i was showing wrong, when i was just a shape out the same becomes the african

and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. the russia prevent fascination of a prominent journalist in moscow clinic was it was planned by the same ukraine based terrorist group which kills 2 civilians in the nation is region last week. russian all taylor, we obliterates the ukrainian military convoy that tries to flee from the city of all per month old box, which is almost completely surrounded by advancing. wagner forces and career considers dropping a deal with the us of a buying guest sixteens in favor of russian or chinese fighter jets call things out .
