2:02 pm
partnership in the may 29th elections. it is outrages that south african political parties are appealing to foreign governments to interfere in our electoral processes, including through funding of so called voter education activities. display is a clear attempt to bring about the regime change. the skies important needs to glenn, which south africa sovereignty is not up for sale to any country. whether it'd be from the east or the west, the gain see condemns into strongest terms. the da's and it's one shot onto transformation, a line sale of our sovereignty. those obvious thing to me is by the winning carts, a code to st. update. so i need to find the official opposition party. i'm asking the you is to into see the nation premises also back because this is of costs, not see it public, but i'm seeing that sylvester can face the if statement around optim aquatic index is on the 29th of me. the tensions add to new services or read the pop up both the
2:03 pm
1st free index and companion to the 9 to 94 was the already characterized by tensions environments, but also by a great deal of hope in searching that this is the most critical election in the 2 years, also the african democracy at the central office, of course, is the african national congress. the huge vacancies of africa imports, black majority rule does not protest, but then again, multiple polls in the past few months. it's shown that to be in seats could get below 50 percent. however, president off with the countries the pool size projects, we said that it is confident that to the is the will retain its majority in the upcoming elections. as the alternatives include the lift, we copy this call to the economy, freedom fighters, and also a former prison. jacob sumac, unexpectedly, very recently declaring support when you deformed opposition party. i'm calling to is sees which, but the biggest opposition part to show is the democratic allies. it already holds
2:04 pm
power locally in key areas of the country each, but it struggles with an image of problem many black. so that becomes a struggle to vote for the d a because the need is a white man and many say that it is a wide poxy. it is also the democratic allies that sent the data to the city to state of the united states. anthony, blinking through the us invested to some of africa saying that it wishes to supplement its appeal to the international community and helping to ensure the integrity of the upcoming elections. the n. c. had said that the d a is the offerings of africa, sovereignty on the silver platter by sending this increased. but that's one that we know that has the geo political sands continue to shift. those of us invested in the political values of freedom, tolerance, peace, and democracy must do everything in our power to stem the rising tides of populism,
2:05 pm
fanaticism, oppression, and tyranny. it is our contention that as the ruling elite grow more desperate to retain electoral support and of the upcoming elections, they may be willing to put their narrow political interests ahead of our country is broader interest and sacred constitutional values. we therefore appeal to your government to recognize the high stakes for south africa in the lead up to and aftermath of the n p. e 2024. it is in this context that we now formally request our partners in democracy to engage with consequence in the run up to the election . and that's what we're looking at here comes the shop to menu. so that free time because it hasn't even been 2 months since the african prison settled. i'm opposed to say that, and this is a case against is all in the eyes to j could result in foreign powers interfering with the outcomes of this close to the next is that we are looking at. and now this is happening, but it seems to watch the office, the position party is austin,
2:06 pm
among other things that is a whole resources to be made available to both stuff. the deployment of the additional independent domestic observe is the also asking that the you is provide the voter education and capacity building for domestic money to the. and it was asking that to the who is how to safeguard against any attempts to disrupt the democratic procedure. oh, influenced the literal process with misinformation and this information, of course the ac has had a chance to respond and it has made it clear that to be it welcomes the constructive engagement and dialogue with the political parties of both domestically and internationally. but it will not tolerate any attempts to undermine its democratic proceed. oh, manipulate it's election or the countries it makes sense that it has also called the democratic alliances agenda, reactionary, and also in humane. and you'd also remember that this is not the 1st mid test that to the d a has decided to issue, but this one,
2:07 pm
it says it's somewhat saw pos that the previous ones that he has been to the g 7 countries or even the you are condemned to direct support, i'm have concerns about foreign interest feelings indeed the now the question that to me is how can a position bring the long about potential for any to feelings? well, at the same time, it is practically austin the united states to do so. earlier we spoke exclusively to african national congress spokesperson mailing the bank do much siri. she says the ruling party isn't surprised with the attempt suffers even change, given the opposition's political stance. we don't know what that is suppose will be or has been for all the us. but we do know that they and we are going to and we always expected that there would be an attempt at regime change the democratic a lot and said the police come and put us to positions that they stand full would arrive very well with those in the job and notes that do not want to see the
2:08 pm
probity in new quality eradicated across the world. and particularly in the countries of the south, including south africa. if you look at it as an example, if you look at the level of the property and inequality in the western cape, the only problem is governed by the d. when a d, a say where they come and they govern well. but go and have a look. they have a look at. they lashed conditions under which to the minority needs and go and look at the state of townships in cape town and outside areas posted wisdom teeth. go and have a look at the types of way, you know, i refused, is not clipped. it is what is the dominant known as split areas and color communities of communities. that easy. what is the story of the c o in the
2:09 pm
quality that is not going to be raised? unless safety for the government takes a lot of the, the wisdom k b. so, so it's a, it's a question of those that want to maintain and sustain the new goes to a separate fedramp. i must say that to comfortable you in that we have strong internal controls in, in, in the country in terms of robust and independent decisions that i meant to safeguard elections. and if the i you see so, but also working with the bodies such as the sub dusk and human rights commission in many others. and we are comfortable that keeping the cd and so far, institution, we wouldn't be able to protect disability, or from most of the advocates, you can be assured that we will look any attempt at composing a with i'd say u. s. so any of the, you know, ally, we would look, it's a not just as the agency, the people. so because we split up in the attempt to interfering with our
2:10 pm
addictions. we spoke with locals in johannesburg who gave us their take on potential american interference in the upcoming elections. that is totally unclosed fault for the d, a to wanting to, to intervene, americans over c o at elections, of which we never intervene in their own elections. so i don't think that is a very is a very quick, i did 40 to a very good move. so 100 percent of feel like it's on sale on so that we can citizens because i don't understand the situation between the, the political parties and our political parties. i believe that as a sorta because i've never been a citizen. i'm supposed to have my c as well, with regards to the polity, political industry and all that. they don't reside. yeah. so difficult to, to be a good lucy with regards to that of the us itself though has very different rules
2:11 pm
when it comes to 4 and meddling under the logan act. and engagement with foreign governments has forbidden, unless, as authorized by the federal administration and acted in 1799, it's still in place aimed at preventing interference. and us policy, the founder of, as in bob, wy and the sanctions movement says the act clashes with the us track record of meddling in other countries affairs. it does a contradiction and it's a contradiction because the american government does not expect accept region change for anybody in america that works with foreign powers. the american government is face street about locals for the citizens going without a mandate from the american people to go and speak on behalf of the american people, the american government. as far as governments, because we believe that this would threaten the national security interest of the united states of america. i don't think that that is a reasonable the barely,
2:12 pm
some of the americans based support for the west. and at some point for a friend, some free can use control of these former colonies and the intentional intent to other countries to try to break the visited use of imperialism is the reason why a lot of applicants turn away from american us, but not to another part of the world, whether us is reportedly mulling the deployment of a marine security team to haiti amid the countries ongoing game crisis. and that's those locals like is washington itself of dragging their country into chaos with at least one person killed and several wound at the mid round pen, gang violence in the capital, a large scale, a salt targeted with the presidential palace interior ministry, and the local police headquarters gunshots have been reported throughout the night . the gangs are now set up seize control of large parts of the haitian capital, as well as roads leading to the nearby cities. authorities have extend of the state of emergency for at least one month. they heard from a haitian woman who lost her husband in the latest fun. when i arrived here, i saw
2:13 pm
a crowd of people moving around. i immediately worried about james and when i reached house number 4 to be, i came across the body of my husband, the line in the st. james had never been in contact with anyone. she was a single secret salesman for a company and he owned a motorcycle. she was simply struggling, somebody to leading this footage from a friday evening shows a local police station in smoldering ruins, while vehicles outside were also towards my moms. officers fired flares to disperse, angry crowds. nation gang leaders want prime minister henri, who's currently outside the country to resign over his failure to handle the security and economic crises. thousands of inmates also escaped earlier this week during a prison break, many returning it to their gaze. of course, i'm washington for the unfolding crisis. the it is the haitian government that agrees with against the united states is responsible for these chaos because they are the ones who send the web us to create it. all. i realize the owner of this
2:14 pm
country, he's the one who gets the weapons to the get us to destroy all life and everything with has he's the one who knows everything. okay. arctic seems that the haitian border with the dominican republic to as play, struggle to stop scores of civilians from rushing across the 2 caribbean countries . sharon islands, the territory over 15000 patients are said to have been recently displaced amid the spiraling situation in the country. can lives english language editor of the haiti, liberty news outlet says haitians blamed the multiple interventions, orchestrated by washington for plunging at the country into crisis. the root of it is essentially a century of us meddling in domination of the haitian economy in society. they've been carrying a coup d'etat was. ready that century since the 1915 intervention of us marines in haiti, and they by carried out to other interventions in 94 and 2004,
2:15 pm
all of them were filled with crimes massacres, rapes, a terrible crimes against asian people. they don't want another intervention. so this process is brought about the debilitation of the haitian state, the impoverishment of the haitian population, and asian people are no longer going to tolerate. the haitians are increasingly clear on this matter that it's washington who is behind all the maneuvers to bring in foreign troops blackface proxies like can the child mean the trying to bring in bangladesh, bahamas, barbados? but behind the scenes, it's the us, canada, and friends who are running the show. the haitians aren't the only ones accusing the us of actions leading to turmoil and their country. washington's policy in africa has also been raising a plenty of questions to the topic. listen to what was discussed at
2:16 pm
a re send us the state. but the state department briefing the united states does not support violent or on democratic changes in government, in africa or elsewhere. and all violations of us export regulations will be punished to the full extent of the law. but that rep for the united states is eligible for violence or on democratic changes to government africa or elsewhere. we do not somebody grab one as the us state department spokesperson squared away. the question still hangs in the air. that's because the answer is definitely not so simple. and rewriting history doesn't pass the smell test. us train troops. i've been involved with at least 12 crews in west africa and the greater so whole region during the so called war on terror as america scoured the globe for the next leaders to gift with a revolution. the places where america has conducted military training include
2:17 pm
burkina, faso, chad gumby, a guinea, molly, mario tamia, and need year to name a few of the jobs in last year. victoria new in the us under secretary of state, a k america soon to depart routine change queen was asked what the us was doing to slow the parade of african officers over throwing governments, which the us have trained them to protect. so some folks involved in these crews have received some us training, but far from all of them, you need to talk to them about why they are over throwing their governments are a message in all cases was that the citizens of these countries deserve to see democracy restored and particularly in malia and burkina, faso, we expect both of these uh,
2:18 pm
insurance governments to meet their commitments, trying to explain it all way if you want me if is new and but washington will have a tough time watching a pensive involvement. as since the 2 thousands, it's regularly deployed, small commander teams to advise assist and the company local forces even into the battlefield. but this involvement has led to the stabilisation as an increase in terrorism. the latest to orchestrated by some us trained troops in africa took place a new here just last year and it's not a topic us senators, are afraid to openly admit it appears that the united states trained yet another to leader in africa. it's a disturbing trend and a sign of how badly mist allocated our national security spending is on the continent. it's a recipe for disaster. and it's part of the story about why crews are spreading all across africa in lots of places where the us has delivered lots of military
2:19 pm
assistance, but not enough economic cooperation. but who can forget the 2011 us sled operation in libya with the removal and assassination of pan african, a small market dollar fee. the k of led to the, the stabilization and privatization of the countries oil industry, putting wealth into western hands and created what some of called the libyan slave trade. all quote, under the guise of humanitarian intervention, 3 came, we saw, died. have anything to do with your visit now, i'd sure the news or was this here for profit that bush's needs,
2:20 pm
the american government, an american needs to send their troops and the agents around the world, or the case of libya. it's very clear they want to the oil. libya is one of the richest countries and the commodity of volume. they wanted the geographical location, libya, centers, the mediterranean sea and is regarded as the northern gates of africa. and they wanted libya's somewhere in funds. these events help these stabilize these nations, which then lead to more us and western involvement, and the more recent military coups, of course, washington, the bloody fingerprints have also been found in latin america and the caribbean. recently, the white house deny that the u. s. is forcing haiti's prime minister to reside while pushing for new elections in the country. we are not,
2:21 pm
we are definitely not pushing prime, the prime minister to resign. that is not what we're doing, but we have underscored that now is the time to finalize a political core to help set haiti on a path to a better future. and that is something that we've been working on for some time. we've been working that on that with the care. com, so that is nothing new. we've had those conversations and also the haitian partners on the path to restoring democratic order in haiti through free and fair elections, inclusive governance and power sharing. this will give the people of the up and opportunity to democratically elect their prime minister. a reminder that 20 years ago this weeks, the us government placed hades, then elected president, who had called for the french to pay reparations on a plane from guantanamo bay to the central african republic with a full flight plan. after he was relocated, a qu, ended a decade of democratic progress and more information today,
2:22 pm
points to the c i a 's for wrecked involvement. it took the us 58 years to recognize haiti's independence. their priorities haven't changed and today's american policy is more or less consistent with the way it's always been. the crew of september 1991 was undertaken with the support of the us administration. and in february 2004, it happened again. thanks to many of the same people. since then haiti hasn't door to decades of a revolving door of us 5 for james. and today the caribbean nation. welcome cit. cool anniversary. without a single elected official and office and no elections inside. while most haitian space catastrophic humanitarian conditions. so here we go again. more intervention in haiti, more of the same from america as countries around the globe shawn past colonial powers, and seek independent home growing leaders that have their country at heart as

2:25 pm
or show man a canadian palestinian journalist who spent several months covering the war from inside gaza for r. t. he is now evacuated from the enclave to cut art and explained how he managed to escape the war zone. on the beginning of november, the canadian government todd range to, to put myself my wife and my children on an approved list to leave those districts to the, to via the border to agent. so i was on that approved list for the, for the last few months. and when i basically lost on taxes and any safe place to work from you is to serve my people. i decided to to connect again with the canadian consulate to norma law. and i thought that i could add more value to the people in palestine and from the outside versus inside because especially during these, investigating times and successfully, you know,
2:26 pm
i passed through that off on the board there. it took a few hours, we were given a 72 hour visa image to stay in egypt by when, by which might issue the temporarily canadian, passport as mine was about to expire. and i decided to come to door basically because the political landscape theaters much more or less teen and friendly that i was to continue to work. we stopped taking the visor for weeks, months, or you use where the focus of fronting speculation as to what had happened after communication. what was lost with you. and on one side, you had the people saying that he was maybe apprehended by the adf. other people said he had to go underground because of the, the relentless attacks by israel. some is really people were calling you a uh from us. i said, how did it feel to be in the midst of that,
2:27 pm
of that media storm, not reporting about the story being the story in any way i was a mess. message is really is, wouldn't have tools me leaving for the for and any person that leads the board, or even if now the national, the bus sports, they need to get 3 approvals, waterfront bursting, one from israel and one from egypt. so the matter of fact, once i got approval to leave by the, is really forced, it shows up and nothing that's, i'm not an assets off uh off for from us. when we went missing, we were always did you want us? it's just that we didn't have internet connection. so we saw afterwards next later on when we were able to come back, see if you join us or hospitals more to milwaukee. so we learned to yes, there was a lot of focus on finding really my sore. and i have mixed feelings because i want to focus to be on the 2400000 students civilians who are suffering and not just on,
2:28 pm
on, on the, on, on, on a person. but at the same time, i felt that this was how the push or story more in terms of the month, sort of that exact and also for the senior and was trying talk the scene in pause. and we need to utilize his voice and his brand in order to ensure that you know, the right. so the bus students monitor and all those farmers are set to press on with weeks of protests after failed tasks with the polish prime minister about to produce from ukraine on thursday, the law makers granted ukrainian food producers tax free access to local markets for another year here's the take of our tea contributor, rachel marston, inside the bank, top 10 of the european union circus are smaller clusters of both, those take the blocks tre, community, for example. where do you have farmers all over the block? turning highways into parking. lots and legislation arise from defacto queen of
2:29 pm
europe. first will of underlines royal birth date of death. jock is of the european commission to renew free trade with no duties and quote is for non u farm products from ukraine that are decimating the use gary on foreigners while you think of it just might be a good opportunity to play the adult rather than to reflexively reach for the red nose in the rainbow wing. but no, all habits die hard apparently and that deal has now been renewed from june 2024 to june 2025. there was some suggested amendments in favor of better protection of you farmers, but they came from right wing parties, so it'd be establishment figured they could just shoot the messenger and carry on like cows weren't being tear gas to buy riot police of the paris agricultural affair. oh, but they did insist on having what's being called an emergency break, which implies that would actually stop an accident. in this case, it's basically going to be applied after the clown car has already reached the
2:30 pm
average speed at which it's already proven to have slammed into things like, for example, their own farmers, tractors. concretely, that means the terrace on you for in farming products could only be slapped back on in the event that imports go above the average import levels 420222023, which for already the same levels responsible for sparking you farmers protests and that dodge the brake job, it doesn't even apply to all of that ukraine in grain that was supposed to go feed the world's poor, but somehow ended up just getting dumped into europe. instead, polish farmers have an opportunity to enjoy front row seats to the surface, being right on the board with ukraine and bearing the brunt of these policies. and well, the reviews are in the army that's going on, that something has changed. it has changed for the worse the us started to impose its ideology on us and today it's the farmers. this applies to farmers for example
