the the party obtains exclusive documents verifying an opposition party attempt to enlist to do as involvement in the upcoming south african elections. the amc rolling parties spokesperson says any intervention will be blocked. you can be assured that we will look any attempted composing with i'd say u. s. so any of the, you know, allied we would look, it's a not just as the n c, the people that we built in yet to intention. calculating with our addictions, the united states is responsible for these chaos because they are the ones who send a web us to create it. all patient finds us as meddling and fueling the prices in the country, as at least one person is killed and another round of escalating gang violence in

the caribbean nation. and with the guys of war now, and it's 6 months, we get a 1st hand account from a journalist to extensively cover the complex on the ground for r t before recently evacuating to safety into tar. when i basically lost all access, found any safe place to work from eunice to serve my people. i felt like i had more value the people should palestine from the outside versus inside because of the this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble live in moscow. the south african government says it's strong late condemns attempts by opposition, leaders to sell the country sovereignty to washington. r t has obtained exclusive documents verifying that the democratic alliance party has reached out to the us

state department. so we can 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 regime change. the skies important needs dig language, south africa. sovereignty is not up for sale to any country, whether it'd be from the east or the west. the gain c condemns in the strongest terms of the da's, and it's one shot onto transformation, a line sale of our sovereignty. those obvious thing to me is by the reading cox, the code to st. update. so a need to find the official opposition party. i'm asking the you is to interfere in the nation process also back because this is of costs not see it, public, but i'm seeing that so basic, a face of a statement around optimal crack techniques is on the 29th of may, the tensions and to new services or read the pop of books,

the 1st free index and companion to the 1994 was the already characterized by tensions and vitamins, but also by a great deal of hope in searching that this is the most critical election is that he is also the african democracy at the central office, of course, is the african national congress, the huge vacancies of africa. it brought black majority rule to so that protects the field again, multiple pools in the past few months. it's shown that to be in seats could get below 50 percent, however, present off with the countries, the pool sized 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 sue mac, unexpectedly, very recently declaring support when you deformed opposition party, i'm calling to is sees which, but the biggest opposition party show is the democratic allies it already holds

power locally in key areas of the country each, but it struggles with an image problem many black. so that becomes a struggle to vote for the d a because the need is a white man and menu say that it is a white party. it is also the democratic allies that sent the data to the city to state of the united states. anthony banking, through the us invested in tucson 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 70 on the silver platter by sending this increased. but that's something 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, 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 the 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 . let's say 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 the finishes case against is well 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 this is cindy. watched the office, the position party is austin,

among other things is for resources to be made available to both stuff the deployment of the additional independent domestic observers. it's also asking that the u. s. provides 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 prostate, who influence the electoral procedures with misinformation. and this information, of course b and b 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 menu, it's election or the countries it makes sense that it has also called the democratic alliances agenda. absolutely. and also in humane and you'd also remember that this is not the 1st mid tough that the d a has decided to issue. but this one,

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 debit support. i'm not concerned about for an interference in the nation. 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 the lengthy bamboo much siri. she says the ruling party isn't surprised with the attempts of regime change given the oppositions of political stance. we don't know what the suppose will be or has been from the us. but we do know that there 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 it to positions that they stand for. what arrive very well with those in the go by not that do not want to see

how about the 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 coverage 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 the minority needs and going to look at the state of townships, even in cape town, it's out areas, off the wisdom teeth go and have a look at the types of way. you know, i refused, is not collected in what is the dominant, known as black areas and color communities of communities. that gives you this story of the university of new quality that is not going to be raised unless they

different government takes a lot of the, the wisdom teeth. so, so it's a, it's a question of those that want to maintain and sustain. so the new customer will stop at each bedroom. 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 business solutions that are meant to safeguard elections. and if the i you see so, but also working with say for this like just a sense of going to human rights commission in many others. and we are comfortable that keeping the cd. and so how is this issue? we wouldn't be able to protect disability, or from most of the africa. you can be assured that a we will look any attempted composing. a way i'd say u. s. o, any of the, you know, allies, we would look, it's a not just as the in see the people, the certification we filled in,

the attempted to interfering with our addictions. we spoke with the locals in johannesburg who gave us their take on potential american interference in the upcoming elections that is totally unclosed for, for the d, a to wanting to, to intervene. i made it can. ringback see all at elections of which we never intervene in their own elections. so i don't think that is a very is a very which i did 40 synthetic with move. so 100 percent of feel like it's on sale . and 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 startup, 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 this got to tv. that's good to see with regards to that. well,

the ssl for though has very different rules when it comes to formed meddling under the logan act. any engagement with foreign governments has forbid and unless it's authorized by the federal administration and acted in 1799, it's still in place aimed at preventing interference and u. s. policy. the founder of this involved by anti sanctions movements has the act classes with the us track record of meddling and other countries affairs. it is a contradiction and it's a contradiction because the american government does not expect accepts region change. ok. anybody in america works with foreign powers, the american governments, the space 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 the governments. because we believe that this would commit to the national security interest of the united states of america. i don't think that that is a reasonable their lives. some of the americans based support for the west and at some

point for from some free can use control or if he's formal qualities. and the intentional intent to these countries to try to break the best use of imperialism is a reason why a lot of applicants turn away from america. well, not to another part of the world where the u. s. is report elaine bowling, the deployment of a marine security team to haiti and the countries ongoing gain crisis. and that's as low as the cues. washington itself of dragging their country and the chaos with at least one person that killed and several wound at a mid round pen, gang violence and the capital. a large scale assault targeted the presidential palace, interior ministry, and the local police headquarters gunshots had been reported through out the night . the gangs are now said to have seized control of large parts of the haitian capital, as well as roads leading to nearby cities. authorities that extended the state of emergency, for at least one month, they heard from

a haitian woman who lost her husbands in the latest file. when i arrived here, i saw 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's line and 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 completing to this footage from a friday evening shows a local police station in smouldering ruins, while vehicles outside were also torched by mobs. officers fired flyers to disperse, angry crowds. patient gang leaders want prime minister ariel henri, who is 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 games, low cost land. washington for the unfolding crisis is that it is the haitian government that agrees with the gang. the united states is responsible for these

chaos because they are the ones who send the web us to create it. all you realize the owner of this country is the one who gets the weapons to the get us to destroy our lives and everything we have. he's the one who knows everything that i've seen is that the haitian border, with the dominican republic to as play, struggle to stop scores of civilians from rushing across the 2 caribbean countries . the sharon island territory over $15000.00 haitians are said to have been recently to slice them of the spiraling situation in the country sank about like human rights attorney says washington's policies of taking a toll on the spiraling crisis in the country. the us intervention has invariably been negatives for the people of haiti, and the us uh, you know, believes they are the only ones who can, you know, create violent to regime changes around the world. and they do all the time for a long time. i think the issue was that haiti was setting the bad example of

getting rid of chattel slavery again prematurely when the us still ad chattel slavery hades resisted french colonialism as well, which is also a know now in most recently, frankly, it's been discovered that 80 sitting on billions of dollars of minerals that the west would like to get hands on. so i think all those things combined or leading to increased western intervention. 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 plenty of questions. let's have a listen to what was discussed at a recent us 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 that the united states is about

support violence or on democratic changes to government, africa, or elsewhere. we do not somebody grab the rest of the day 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 in 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 burkina, faso, chad gumby, a guinea, molly, mario tamia. i need year to name a few of the jobs in last year. victoria new in the us under secretary of state a k americas 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 that particularly in molly and burkina faso, we expect both of these uh, 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 and lots of places where the us has delivered lots of military 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 chaos lead to the,

the civilization and privatization of the country, the 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, i'd sure the it is own was this is for profit that the bushes and needs the american government an american needs to send their troops and the agents around the world. i remember the case of livia, it's very clear they wanted the oil. libya is one of the richest countries and the commodity of volume they wanted. the geographic location livia centers the

mediterranean sea is regarded as the northern gates of africa. and they wanted in libya's somewhat 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's bloody fingerprints have also been found in latin america and the caribbean. recently, the white house denied that the us is forcing hades prime minister to reside while pushing for new elections in the country. we are not, 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 court 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 past to restoring democratic order and haiti through free and fair elections, inclusive governance and power sharing. this will give the people of the up an opportunity to democratically elect their prime minister. a reminder that 20 years ago this week, the us government placed hades and 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 false flight plan. after he was relocated, a qu, ended a decade of democratic progress and more information today, 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 coo 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 has endured 2 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 in sight. while most patients face catastrophic humanitarian conditions. so here we go again. more intervention in haiti, more of the same from america as countries around the globe, sean pass colonial powers, and seek independent homegrown leaders that have their country at heart as russia and china and the global south form of multiplan their world. in the face of former us dominance and control in tel aviv thousands of people flocked into the streets to protest against as really a prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government. some demonstrators were

seen scuffling with police. the people were heard chanting anti government slogans, and brandishing banners, demanding the immediate release of hostages and the seas fire in gaza. according to local media reports, relatives and fried hostages joined the rally the central guys where at least 8 civilians were reportable. they killed in there all, blah, on friday as the idea of keeps up. it's vermont most of environment palestinian officials say the enclave is death to have surpassed $30800.00 people since october 7th. a warning. you may find that the following image is disturbing. the video says locals that carrying the wounded as well as bodies of the dead to a local hospital. most of the casualties of the latest strikes in that area are

said to be children or victims could still be trapped under the rubble of collapse . buildings which rescue susan volunteers are scrambling to sift through. the one has warms that more than 90 percent of gods. this population is on the brink of starvation, and several countries have arranged humanitarian supplies to be dropped from planes . jordan says this military is carried out a number of drops in the northern part of the enclave and cooperation with egypt. the us, france and belgium delivery of the much anticipated aid has been marred by tragedy as several crates have reportedly fallen directly on the waiting crowds injuring civilians who gathered at the drop site. at least 5 people were crushed to death on friday by a pallet of supplies and guys, a city due to a parachute failure years, our local civil defense spokesperson described the deadly incident. i'm a social boss. it's a tragedy added to the ongoing tragedies experienced by our palestinian people and

gaz estimate these bloody war in the region. 61 aircraft dropped 8 supplies to citizens in the northern areas of the street, but unfortunately, these power shoots fell directly on the hands of civilians. these led to the depths of 5 individuals and the injury of more than 10 people, including critical interest. i'm son, my colleague union o'neill heard from on so assume and 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 guitar and explained how he managed to escape the wars of 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 egypt. so i was on that approved list for the, for the last few months. and when i basically lost on taxes and very safe place to work from you and is to serve my people. so 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 outsides versus inside because especially during these, investigating times and successfully, you know, 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 my issue with a temporary canadian passport was mine, was about to expire. and i decided to come to door basically because to put it to cannot escape theaters much motor a listing in friendly that i was to continue to work. we stopped at the zone for weeks, months, or you had you where the focus of fronting speculation as to at 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 how much i said, how did it feel to be in the midst of that, of that media storm. not reporting about the story being the story in any way i was a mess. message is really wouldn't have up to me leaving for the, for to any person that leaves the board. or even if now is national the bus sports . they need to get 3 approvals, waterfront bursting, one from israeli, 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 there in time. you were just, it's just that we didn't have internet connection. so we so

afterwards, next nature when we weren't able to come back safely, join us or hospital more to milwaukee. so we learned to yes, there was a lot to focus on finding really my sore. and i have mixed feelings because i want to focus to be on the 2400000 other students civilians who are suffering and not just on, on, on the, on, on, on a person. but at the same time. and i felt that this was how the push our story more in terms of the month. so what does that example also about a senior and was trying to help the scene in pause. and we need to utilize his voice and his brand in order to ensure that the, you know, the rights of the bus students part of the turns. all right, that's gonna do it for me for now, but do stay with us. my colleague peter scott, is in next in about half an hour with a look at the day is telling me story about the

a the e the, it's one of the bigger 2. and so i don't remember the bundle of assault in google for the, the one was a guy that little group of we'll call the low gains of shown in the corner was sunni debt. can you get a guy? they're going shifting scalable data. so the league on sonya to go for the

most of the known a little pulls. what i mean, you got it, see what i mean? the little boy, you know, these one out it, you know, face young. they don't remember the most of the lower the dougherty when, when you see a check of you can be out low. so when we go to sony 5, so you know, certainly those on all labor. so we can see goals going on to this. so that up put it into the, about the problem of a level would not be within prob, you will see, then you'll float on the wrong body on when i present, i believe is you get does equity fund them. and like i said, i would have the vision that go sure, don't live in sony, good sense, unavailable seems to be the issue the fund, but.
