4:17 pm
the uganda government with the comb, with these partners. how is top of these, what they quoted populations to job, which is emily t. james believes your patient identity. edu. i'm in the past few months. we have seen a manual ones, not by all patients. who do i don't know why because uh, by the, i guess the idea of when they are and that these kind of place that they didn't start to start attacking civilians. another reason is that the idea of has been watching the tool button. you're going to be cheap from what? because they don't want to fight. the dentist needs to be in the column. but because you've got any needs, you have to be effective against the idea of so it may not talk to you kinda slip at the meeting in uganda. would see that there one. so it is under attack on withdrawal, thrown global. so that'd be idiot. me how if you didn't, didn't go so these, but i may have to sum up there isn't this, but this is about body con, unacceptable. a top, it is a top point, the most in children. it is on top of the future of uganda. i'm going to use on how

4:19 pm
to change anything the ground. however, there are kind of arguments over here. they mostly got with off because guy bought a suffice relations with the rest, with the law shop with the russian interest in africa. and over the past few months, we saw for 5 minutes the law brought visiting golf. we can content and folding at 2 times, also an african the washer, and some of the here in and then wash off for parliament for elementary is on a we are expecting also, i know the african russian summit next month in st. petersburg. so with all these interests, russia is showing enough for just the africans. mike has a leverage also with the west, um and uh, a rush are competing for resources in, in africa. this with the more after that, the, the, the issue of the war is enough. as a crisis in africa,
4:20 pm
which some say that the african leaders already have that was how they are going out for the global prices to fly on. and so, well, some argue that with these prices and these was enough, we got these the, those might have. so mick, i miss him some ideas, some out of the box uh, id have to try, come out with that kind of, uh, kind of, uh, a solution for this global price. is that a sending day off today and drop? what might be, uh, a bigger door. so this is what, uh, some kind of, uh, building on the opposite end initiative on kind of putting hope, some of the house and reporting from las go, thank you very much. resident valid america lensky has told african leaders he won't talk to russia unless it withdraws from ukrainian territory. trying to ho has more from keith on the road to peace is not an easy one, said cyril remo close at the south african president here in key on friday. and so
4:21 pm
it may prove for the 7 nation african piece initiative, delete is arriving here in keyboard more accurately and butchered nearby. just as a russian missile sold was launched, they found themselves uniform shelter just moments after visiting a mass grave. when mister ronald photos of brief, the media lights are often meetings with president zalinski described, there are other embraces sounding 10 points, peace initiative that would eventually lead to peace with steps along the way. like at the escalation on both sides, security guarantees. respect to the southern borders and so on. but saying that it's should, will begin with much easier confidence building measures, talks about things like prisoners, swaps about the free movement of grades and fertilizers, notice from ukraine. but of course, from russia as well, important to these african leaders, because it would contribute to lessening food in security, particularly in the global south since the start of this war. there is no explicit
4:22 pm
mention of a full withdrawal of russian forces from ukraine in the plan, which must leave something of an open question over just how much support these need is complained that they've received from ukraine for their initiative. when they put it in front of president putin in saint petersburg later on saturday, during the whole elder 0 key. germany's 1st national security strategy includes an increase in defense spending as well as reducing its dependence on foreign energy supplies. would critics say the plan doesn't give enough detail that boston reports from berlin. the german chancellor, olaf shows inspecting the largest air force drilled by nato countries since world war 2. at the same time, his government's long awaited 1st national security strategy is debated in parliament. its main focus more money and the weapons for the poorly equipped military. that's the thing. we know that russians invasion of the grain markets attorneys point company because it shows
4:23 pm
a powerful country is prepared to attack in a button and take a rich type of g steps. despite its own agreeing, boldest cannot be changed to those kinds of territorial minds. so for like the strategy i located the average 2 percent of the countries g, d, p to defense spending 10 sites and then the highest. oh, that's what is the part. this is a turning point for apartments in europe and worldwide to show that they can count on us as the by the opposition says the amount about $71000000000.00 a year is on feasible. but this is not credible because there's no money available . the on forces need about 20000000000, your real small this year. they get 10 percent of the 2000000000. so this is the lip service that's wrong. the strategy also emphasizes that germany should never again be dependent on one country for its energy supply. like what happened with russia, governments in europe and around the world have been waiting for building strategy to deal with new security challenges. how to finance a stronger military, for example, and how to deal with china. it's largest trading partner,
4:24 pm
but they didn't get money. concrete answers, a strategy on china should be released next month. but analysts say the government is struggling to balance it's business interest and security concerns. the strategy didn't do enough to reassure to reassure allies and to reassure other democracies, the germany has its priority straits on china. and we've seen that in practice as well with the sale of part of the how about port terminal part of germany is critical infrastructure to a chinese company with the continuing use of huawei technology and the 5 g network . and there's a big fear that germany is repeating some of the mistakes that made the process in its relations with china. unlikely us or u. k. the german government decided against setting up a national security council of the parties could not agree on where it should be based. so i'm going up the long and winding road of coalition politics, leading to the 1st national security strategy. step 5 and l g, sierra berlin. america's top diplomat is heading for china soon for

4:51 pm
in the radiant capital. so now you're watching the meeting between the rainy and, and saudi foreign ministers. this happening in the a rainy and capital will be hopefully bringing you the translation live as soon as he get it. we've been watching this because this is important to the middle east. really, one of the driving stories in the middle east right now has been the prussia mall between iran and saudi arabia and a deal broken by china a number of weeks ago. and today what you're watching is something close to the, the mirror image of what we saw a few days ago in saudi arabia,
4:52 pm
when the radiant embassy and saudi arabia was being reopened. and now the, it's the turn of the saudi embassy to be reopened. our corresponding dorset jibari was explaining earlier that the embassy itself, not reopened yet. there's a controversial street name issue that is being addressed. however, the saudi diplomats will be working out of the hotel and providing the saudi embassy, them paraphrasing here, what are corresponding doors that you bar? it was telling us a little earlier. and as you see, the press conference there between the saudi ministers and the iranian foreign ministers. all right, dorset jabari joins us live from their front door say you've been standing by. i was, i was power, phrasing your door so. so if you heard any of that and you want to correct any of that, please do go right ahead. but look, we're looking at the picture door send. i'm not sure if you can see it, but we're looking at the live shot of the saudi and a radiant foreign ministers. we can't hear what they're saying yet. but what we can
4:53 pm
do is we can give our viewers context and you can help us with that on why this is important and what exactly it is, it's happening today door. so the certainly, i think 1st this press conference has some technical issues and, and so i think we're waiting for the officials there to sorted out at this is important because of the saudi foreign minister, pfizer been far. hon is the 1st a foreign minister from saudi river to visitor on in 17 years. and they separate diplomatic relations in 2016 after a shia cleric was executed in saudi arabia. demonstrations took place outside the embassy here and to her on and the demonstrator storm, the embassy. and it is exactly as they left it. a 7 years ago. we were there
4:54 pm
last week. the saudi embassy is still, the windows are broken, they're still remnants of the damages that was caused once the demonstrators went in. and so the saudi officials haven't had a chance to fix the building that they own. and that is because of the name of the street after the cleric was executed at the municipality, decided to change the name of that street and name it after the cleric bag or oliver. and it still remains with that name. and that's one of the points of contention, as you mentioned. so the work around for now seems to be that the saudi officials will be working out of a hotel until the saudi government finds another suitable location to purchase and make that their embassy. you know, this are a personal, it is significant not only for iran in saudi arabia, but also for the entire middle east of the situation in
4:55 pm
syria. 11 on yemen. have all been places where iran, inside of a rape. you have been on opposing sides of the conflicts and the tensions there. so this is going to be seen as something important, not only for iran and saudi arabia, but in the entire middle east, the door. so i'm the door set the same time i continue. we continue to, to dip into this press conference because the audio issues. and i'm gonna ask her a few words to just be patient with us here because the audio issues are what they are. um, and as soon as we can get the audio back in the translation back, of course we'll be bringing that to our of yours live for the moment. let me just confirm for the moment. we are not having that audio. and so we can't bring that. however, door, so what i wanted to ask you earlier is whether there are any limits to the repression all between saudi arabia in iran. the reason i ask you this is that over
4:56 pm
the last few weeks, they have been going very methodically, deliberately step by step. you know, the various meetings, head increasing levels of their diplomacy and then the openings of the embassy and i know you under you, you explain just now the, the limits or the context to the, to this opening. how far do they both want to take this refreshment? ortho? well, i think it's going to be as far as they can, really there's going to be still differences between the 2 sides. that is not going to change. but this has been seen as a 1st initial step in the right direction. as i mentioned, there are still issues in the oven that the 2 sides need to results the situation. syria is somewhat results according to the radians anyways. and i think the
4:57 pm
internal situation inside or on is very important and how it's forced the government to move forward and his foreign policy, the amount of unrest that we saw, the protests that we saw in your, on over the past 9 months or something on expected and what are the main driving factors of that was the economy the state of their owns economy is visible, inflation is that 60 percent unemployment rate is in double digits, nearly 30 to 40 percent of the pot or so i'm going to respectfully interrupt you because we now have the audio and we can bring our viewers this press conference between the saudi and a range and foreign ministers live from different pains at the implementing the agreement signed it, begin on the 10th of march 2023. so you've got to be fine on the football team.
