us and if we come this far, we know that it's going to be worth the journey. the south africa, top diploma. we have funds as well as committing genocide in gaza as a country industry for the legal proceedings that the united nations point of justice. meanwhile, the right cost welcomes efforts by other nations to provide a to policy management says add drops and then call resolve the crisis dealing with the addresses that are inefficient, unsustainable, they cannot supply the required quantities of in turn paid means the food to the vast majority of the nation all the way rejects us claims of

corruption on human rights abuses as on founded and says watching do is no just apply to impose sanctions against the southern african nation. also i have 2 women in the world and knives and supports i once independence will get familiar with boy and then they used to be the food held their own doing beijing's top diplomat says the stronger the world's commitment to the one china principal, the greater the guarantee of peace, the welcome to the name, zoer, hale and archie international. we have a package program ahead for you while we're going to start in south africa because is initiated more legal proceedings against is where a lot the united nations quoted using it of not facilitating she monetary and age

for goal of the south africa believes that is rarely committing genocide against palestinian civilians. so back in january, the international court of justice found that it had possible evidence. israel had committed acts of genocide and gaza. a provision, the said israel must ensure that exposes not commit to any of the acts prohibited by the genocide convention. meanwhile, a palestinian american doctors

a cold for immediate assistance. the civilians in garza, citing the situation is tragic. i've been in different missions. this was for the most terrible and terrific that i've seen in my life. and i believe that the humanity of each one of us to do something to stop this every minute signifies the loss of a life the starvation of a child. and so we need an immediate and permanent not temporary permanent ceasefire. now, a willing in a time to mitigate this humanitarian course as the middle eastern nations of egypt . i'm the united arab emirates have dropped 38 tons of food on medical, a thing to goes the that's office several western countries whose best funding to do you an agency responsible for providing assistance. palestinians is, well, had a choose the agency of having stuff and this too closely involved in the policy and

inside of the conflict. but we've been hearing from goal as a residents. you say it's impossible to survive without more help from outside, from the we demand the underwater to increase a during the month of ramadan. because the flower they provide is not enough. we have children who need milk and they cannot stand on their feet because they suffer from low blood sugar. but we're not provided with anything except flower. now what? but sometimes we only get flower because when we do not get a usual food, a basket such as need cooking, oil, sugar, and milk theater. all these things should be included because of poverty. people fail the allotment of flowers in order to buy other things, such as cucumber, tomatoes, onions and peppers. because people, once we get different things, as we cannot always consume flower alone would despite me, oh cries spokesperson for these ready, prime ministers offices rushed aside the wide spectral pool. there is currently

a humanitarian crisis in garza. what are you doing about reports of children stopping to on their 1st? let me just say that the number one humanitarian issue in the gaza strip right now . and since october 7th day is the flight of the hostages. well, it made starvation goals. the residents are also going from is really military attacks, reports coming in the at least 15 civilians were killed during the night. this was in his way the strikes that hit the apollo in the central parts of the own place. medical teams of taking the dead to the near, i'll access hospital. now that's adding to gauze as grim dest total as to who enters it's 6 months. the policy and health industry says it over 30000 palestinians have been killed since the school started back in october, molding 12000 of them all children. another 72. i was move on. people have been reported wounded in those attacks by,

as well as makes pressing for the international committee of the red cross says the region is in the state of disaster. the thing with the addresses that they are inefficient here on sustainable. they cannot supply state acquired quantities of in turn paid me the food, the best majorities, all of the nations the needs are definitely too large to cover by a. ready line of air trucks that you're going to be 7 and databases. they take, they are time consuming. and people that goes on demand choices about 3 of time cannot provide large quantities as needed and sometimes even for people to the risk of trying to reach there. some of these are just a preventive and see, it's a possible what's now needs to be focused on is to double the efforts as this started reminder that all the efforts must be pursued or just the company cannot speak a little vacation. the are now more of more imperative to allow this position to

happens to be basic services that are essential for their own survival. i mean, there's different prices across because of the trip in the north side of the south for different reason makes people the, the vast majority of the populations attorney displaces all the gases check over 1300000 people are the space and profile governance rate, which it presents only 20 percent of the total space of gases trip. they can have access to with items, but they are extremely expensive that the average family doesn't cannot afford to buy who's already in your bases. but it's on the table. there's even no table as they the the most be live in tents on the streets and the sidewalks. now distribution of so puts it towards the end. the norm is due to the availability of committed turn. days cannot reach it as it should as a robust lifeline to the bars. uh, i mean, and b as the i seriously have not been able to access the northwest some template

for, for a long time. now to be that sense of the necessary events to it's guaranteed special for the. ready tech emissions. we have wasn't that some of the boys got open fire fat and this is not the working environment that's even try and scan cheese the content response. so what does this ro continues? it's offensive and goes in just depends. ministry has released voltage of a rescue operation of the power and who's the attack in the gulf of aiden. the call goes ship is believed to have been targeted by receive levels in solidarity with palestine. a 3 sailors were killed and 4 others wounded is here. many shoes. the soldiers attacked the ship that's according to information from the us military. it was apparently the 1st lead to attack conducted 5, if these these, since tension is for the in the region. following is well invasion of goza,

but let's head to china now where those who support high ones independents are playing with via and we get. but those are the words of warning. they've come from china's top diplomat to speaking off. that's the 3rd day of the national people's congress. so you got 2 more years. the one china principal is already innovating international consensus. those who cannot have been support. so i want independence or just challenging china. southern see certain countries that students is the maintaining official relationship with die one just in to see it in, in china's internal affairs. the stronger the commitment to the one train. the principal, the great is you've got and see for these across the street will be which is whoever engages inside when he's independence on the island. will be held accountable by history. whoever in the world and knives and supports i once independent, will get boned for playing with for you. and so he's the bit the food of their own doing. obviously, today, the most important in the event of all,

i would say is the press conference a given by chinese for administer, as well as a member of the political bureau of c, p. c. c, p. c. central committee, mr. wong e. well, during bad nearly to our press briefing he has touched, he has colored a wide range of issues and nobody has touched about china's relations. so with the united states we, they european union with, of course, with the restaurant. and also he as had touch it a pound of china's on a stance on a tie. one issue last, i won't flush of which he has written each rated. that'd be tie one east part of china and a 60 a and the board part of the chinese territory. well, you mentioned the oversee the foreign policy plans. we also hearing the pool, it's the china could become a mediator in the world between russia and ukraine such to me, it's diplomatic. cloud has been growing in recent years. how like to just about is

. yeah, i think the of the, one of the reason trigo to why, you know, there's a lot of talks about aging. can you can again act as a piece may for a p p, spoke of worlds, are key space or 2 and 2, you know, so a, to help bring the piece back between a brush and that you can, i think part of the reason is because the world has when this, that baby has successfully mediated every push mon, between the bible research on between the saudi arabia and iran, your last year. and also, you know, i had the press briefing. one you has read each, a rated that china has the old china has done is to push for peace tops of russia. china relations was a topic, a t one that came up during the press conference with the foreign minister. b very famously, of course, the new limits partnership, one of the prospect through tonight for the near future, the both of them has to be each array that the china stands on. russia is based on not alliance, non non compensation and non targeting of 3rd parties. and this is which on has to

be but basically has repeatedly saying the suspense, which is on trying to rush and comprehensive, strategic partnership and coordination for the new id a have been moving forward on a high level. political mutual trust is deepening and cooperation remains mutually beneficial and complimentary to each other or just sides will strengthen international multi logical cooperation, implement genuine multilateralism. saved god the system of international relations with the central role of the united nations and maintain regional and global security. and stability. so that's the press conference, so keep them by trying this for mr. wong e, which has been closely watched of from home and abroad. not only for us reporters, but also china watchers and other people across the globe. i will send you follow from latoya institute, and your tongue again says washington's concerns about china is strong. the economy

is because it views it as a threat to its hedge. many china is the number one trade partner for over a 120 different countries. china is creating a new type of alternative, not trying to supplant the us, but simply providing a stable alternative which allows countries to trade directly in their own currency, thereby bypassing the risks of the us dollar multiplayer. and he is already here, um that that's something that uh, somehow escapes washington. there's still how it's hanging onto this idea that the united states, as a sole hedge, a monic power to us, is no longer interested in what it preaches. the rule of law in the international order is something that is just for the us to use when it feels like it to preach to other countries, but not to practice. so at this point, many countries are trying to figure out what the alternatives are. china is

providing one bricks might well provide. another russia obviously is going its own way as it is either on and any other country that's affected by utilize for all moves by the us. the was involved way has lashed out over the us of a recent sanctions imposed against the southern african countries president and also senior of the officials cimbawe place as the restrictions are complete they i'm justified. and bob boy takes great exception to gratuitous slander and defamatory remarks by officials of the bite and administration against the sanctions in by way, leadership and its nationals. what adds to the outrage is that these bold and damaging accusations are not backed by any auto of evidence. we condemn these malicious statements as completely uncalled for as defamatory, provocative and as

a continuation of one to an hostile. it's ease against him by the way, by the us government. well, washington is accused is involved when government to back slowly thing on democratic processes, as well as human rights abuses, incorruption. it froze assets and entities pertaining to the countries. officials in the u. s. the new restrictions add to a more extensive list of sanctions that have been imposed over the last 2 decades. this is how the u. s. embassy in zimbabwe commented on those new meshes, the targeting of civil society and severe restrictions on political activity have stifled fundamental freedoms while key actors, including government leaders of siphoned off government resources for personal gains. let's get more on this story now in cross to international relations. analysts could zion that you'd see in south africa. thank you for

joining us on all to international. i just wanted to, as we'll start by asking you how justify do you think these accusations by the us all again, symbolic way. thank you for having me. the accusations from the. busy i just an extension of the usually to reach. if they want to stop shooting you, they find something to say about you and then they use it as a justification of their actions. they never provide evidence. they have never tried in the court of law. they have never convicted any of those people in the court of law in fixed that he poor could see was exposed this week with the remote house, little people and companies that were on the assumption list. but we cannot do anything, but we're just not. we'll see any of the condition of the gift of those people. it does not show them anything by the remote. the shows that they just do things, that'd be fairly phase nor a message it's. it's just

a well to just question. what do you think the reason is? what is washington trying to achieve by imposing sanctions against and baldwin officials, including the president and his wife? it is quite a shockey because they have never said did you, what do you think what, what are the interesting thing about it? because even if it has interest that they could still actually have them through other means through diplomatic, it gets back to me because ition, they still get web. it was little bit groups, at least we wish it wouldn't be knowing why they went as well. now they just a pleasant sanctions of people with the income. we don't know exactly where they went. but to watch the know that essentially is waiting pause inmate in the to the when the same by way added to the lives before photograph that, that is where she got those sanctions. so over the years, they have been trying to force them by the way, to the best of the lives of all go to the base in the candles,

a put them that's the and power the local people. that's what do we have the use of the site as well to try and remove the governments of the day by which he has a way, i think that they have seen it and they're trying to de escalate this interest of why in particular does, does involve way hold an interest for the us in general. we of course show our service because the, by the way, he's a very small country in southern africa is even smaller than texas. is that the united states? so it's a very small country will thoughts about what? 16 median it doesn't even have the military power to challenge the united states. it doesn't here, let me my to say united states, but for more than 20 is somebody has been at the session. so it is quite ridiculous for everyone, but uh they might be doing it as a way of getting to our allies like russia in china. it might be the,

the weight of trying to force us into the wings and to move absolutely. take these readings, also depressions. wow. allies, it could be they applied. okay, well we're going to leave that that of course the us loves to a sanction nation, so that feels all i'm not doing exactly what it would like to be that was international relations unless concerned with tracy. joining us from south africa. thank you. thank you. well, i know this contrasts can be seen in the relations of africa, nations with russia, which are becoming wilma, by the day. you just heard that, that one of the latest events is that helping to strengthen those ties as being that the world use best which has been held in the south of russia. throughout this week, during the event, one student from uganda even expressed a desire to become like a sudden for president peyton. he said the rush of data is prominent for the entire

effort. couldn't continent is a parent is a father. he loves africa. i do. we know it's and we also know that he create a very big role in africa, was getting his incentives from the 4 year lease and we supported them. also that we see my back in the day when you read about these books. and when you read about what has to be new to newman, see some of the photos assuming africa, trying to support africans to, to attend to it's independence. and we, we feel it is level off because it's just such as now he has been loud enough for a couple of so many as i us of the engineers. and i've been reading about him. we nights and we know it. so we know that he has been there for the people free time. that's why i feel i should be by then bustling this. i mean in most of the country is retail them and motivation. you find that the people isolated from each other,

but a, find the rest of the to be always to give that support each other in the time of who by this time also in the table instead of bidding them of what time you see them, you know, being the full for each of that retail. so enough for the credit of 17 to indonesian where the country sect is often, i'm vicious, so i'll get to become the world's number one. that's when it comes to nickel production. it's hoping that within just 5 years, it will be responsible for 3 quarters of the world's supply of height. great, nickel will axes, rebecca, and not be and not be to pollute reports from jakarta. the initials grip on the global nicole industrial remains are in class as the largest producer of the silvery white, lustrous metal jakarta is causing panic in the west. as it controls, what do you need? it has really made a big part of the old traditional player structurally non competitive for the

future. this part of the industry will either disappear or be subsidized by governments. the competitive mines elsewhere will close. i'm not sure there will be so many governments decided to subsidize big production with a lot of money just to compete with indonesia production. boris went onto alignment of the fact that no news might account for more than 3 quarters of the world's supply of the purest nickel or within 5 years. and she has not the only one shaking from the card as industrial rumble. understanding the line for the marketplace is long with those ready to write their checks to indonesia, which is the dominant player today. there is a serious structural challenge is the result of indonesian nickel that is certainly putting cost pressure and most of the federal nickel businesses that exist in the world today. so it shows how large is international nickel industry in 2023 in the

shop, produce about 40 percent of the world's supply. it's conquering policy has even for some of the other nickel companies around the world to either cut production or shutter on preferable mines. it is not also bright though as global nichol industry has now found itself under stress. as a result of an over supply of the industrial metal about worry not according to indonesian officials. this concept has to be well understood by all the snit, cold producers elsewhere. the purpose for the government is to find in equity, abram so that nickel demands, especially for electric vehicles, is as well supplied. there are also concerns now whether indonesia, nicole will lose its popularity in the global markets. nicole as vital to the production of electric car batteries and is used as a main company to make same will still. so the leader in government is firm that

nicole will stay strong. is it true that it will be left out? this is a lie that the industry is leaving mutual. why do i say this? because else these only use by test lot on it. standard models, legal powered cars are better for longer distance travel. some tests with cars, us to using the go based mattress in a nation's whole thing. nicole oriented actions have helped to boost economy tremendously over the last few years. and this pipe a few challenges along the way and a nation domination of the global market is not going anywhere. that'd be going to be the full reporting from jakarta for r t. the job i doing will take to the stage to night in congress to deliver his stay to the union address. it's a challenge for the president to highlight his successes and outline he's future plans that says the election names at the end of this year. but it seems to be 2

empty seats in the chamber that's off. the invites were turned down by ukraine's 1st lady, and also by the wife of the late russian opposition activist alexi, nev only, and my colleagues jessica taylor discussed the story with our correspondent and my my. each in the state of the union is quite an important event. this is a test for presidential biden, to showcase his achievements throughout the year. and of course, the main focus is going to be ukraine. so it's really no surprise. the unit as it is scale was a guest of honor, invited as a guest upon her. she is the wife of the ukrainian president. lightroom is lensky and ukraine stays as a top agenda issue for the united states. and on top of that, the democrats have yet to push for the a bill that they've been trying to send to ukraine. so here they need to maintain some sort of visibility of their friendship between one another and essentially

maintaining the saw that the united states is still helping ukraine to fight for freedom. and they're still fighting against president puts in as for union as all now uh it is a similar story. i mean, after her husband's death, it was a another reason for the west, essentially to point the finger at moscow and about how of pressing the regime is in russia. is this alex, in of, on his desk, everyone's been trying to connect the 2 matters together. so alex, there's no volume, it says and ukraine. let's take a look. he was brave. he was principal, who's dedicated to building a russian where the rule of law existed. and i'm worried applied to everybody involved in believe that russia, that russia, he knew it was a cause worth fighting for. and obviously even died for his tragedy reminders of the stakes. and this moment we had to provide the funding so ukraine can keep defending himself against putting vicious on slides and war crimes. i strongly

agree that the best way to on the memory of alexis development is to ensure that the best input and doesn't when on the battlefield about the to claim today's. now of course, the mainstream media doesn't catch a break from parity in the master's agend that it's the russian evil regime versus freedom fighters. and of, of course, health vital. this frozen american a bill is to your point, especially after nevada these best. let's take a look. the timing of his death was notable, given that took place during the munich security conference when you had so many people from around the world, they're gathered to show their support for ukraine to discuss that. it seems like it might be a signal potentially a lot of are put in critical life. thing of all me is dead by and says students responsible. do you agree and how should the us respond? yeah, there's no question. absolutely. he's responsible. the best thing that we can do right now is to pass the the a bill that the ukrainians need a so urgently to help them continue what they're doing to defeat hooton's,

army and ukraine. what else possibly could we do right now? it's a whole lot of our fruit and accountable. the most important training the united states to do right now is to pass the supplemental and pass the aid of for ukraine. i mean, what was biden's goal in inviting them here? was he going to try and resuscitate? his approval ratings by picking back hitting off these on to russian. here is, i mean, given how unhappy americans all with fight and store and policy doesn't really seem like a winning strategy. of course, what they're trying to do. it doesn't really make sense now. and the volume his wife has seen of some sort of opposition here. they don't really care if, if this title was given to her by the people, or was it just inherited from her late husband? as long as his paint in russia as a bad evil entity in this world, it works for them. but to put it some simply trying to show no volume. his wife, as villain skis, ally just simply doesn't work because the point is don't really like no volume in that is because of his sense on crime. you know,

back in 2014 big claim that he did not oppose the rigorous occasion of crimea with a rush or back then. so ukrainian 1st lady just probably didn't feel comfortable being in the same presence as long as wife and uh this, this really is not gonna work out for the us officials because i think their hold here was essentially to have this weight fixture of both novel and his wife and uh, the for ukrainian 1st lady together to show some source of powerful image that joe biden state of the union. so i think it's just not going to work. the plan seems like a failure without cit from us for this. so, but don't forget, you can head over to our website all to don't com for more on all of the stories that we've been bringing you for the last 30 minutes. i'll be back at the top of the next hour. do hope you can join the

solution other children are ranging from the main level by us you simply need new sort of satellite sorry, as i possibly can. you know somebody is still a couple weeks ago to see the vision.
