6:14 pm
. let's find out more of catherine sources to fall on developments when they come in capital nairobi. what more you learned in katherine well, security forces in that to buddha town are pursuing this rebels of uh, adf. they have fled into the national park in the eastern democratic republic of congo. with told that the rebels have adapted a several, a students we have had from a military commander in uganda who says that they are now using how called to a to so i to this boss forest. we also know that so some of the students, oh, was chilled when the rebels detonated a bomb window and leaving this for some of the students was hacked to death using
6:15 pm
machetes and access. we spoke to some of the students, some of the survivors. what that we say that they just tried to do whatever they can to high do, they heat the heat and the bodies of their dead leaves either the heat and um the heat um basically um and uh, mattresses and things like that. and we have also seen um some of the a students who have been taken to hospital. so right now in that bought a town in that area. there is a lot of the a lot of i'm talking to you as well. thank you so much, katherine. so i for that update. well, the lama mccarthy is a columnist that the daily truss newspaper and nigeria and the senior fellow to tony blair institute for global change. he explains why the group attacked children
6:16 pm
. that i mean quite a few reasons why they attacked schools. number one is the fact that they want to cause maximum casualty. they want to cause maximum damage in bo dot to prove to government. i'm to, i'm in the and it is that they as to i life and that they can strike any of it where they want to be. number 2, the to have more difficult and i will, they will protest one risk being that when in by the pressure identity them by the mini p, they not touch the b as in boy dot to put them to lead 3 in the defensive position . just like we saw a few months, but now in this case, the uganda government with the comb, with these partners. how on top of these, what they quoted for patients, the job, which is emily to james believes your patient identity. edu. i'm in the past few months. we have seen a manual on the bible patients who don't. i don't know why luca,
6:17 pm
by the ideas behind you on when they are and that these kind of crease out they didn't start to start attacking cvd ends. another reason is that the video has been watching through dropbox. you can then be need to from on what, because they don't want to find that you're going to need to be in the chromebook because you've got the needs we have been pretty effective against the idea of. so a b i talked to, you kinda slip at the military in uganda, would see that there one. so at least under attack on withdrawal thrown on gold. so that the idea of, anyhow, if you didn't, didn't go so these i may have to sum up. there isn't this, but this is about body on unacceptable. a top it is a top point, the most in children. it is not a tough one. the future of uganda, i'm going to use a tough one. education and no child look here and shouldn't have to go through with these. the delegation of african leaders are in russia where they're pushing for
6:18 pm
a peaceful settlement to the ukraine conflict. they're meeting with the russian president vladimir putin in saint petersburg. on friday, they held meetings with the ukraine and president followed him as a landscape in cheve. we have others who is already hash him, who sorta goes from moscow, so kindly african leaders bring anything new to the table. i live when other foreign leaders haven't been successful. it was the reading, many are skeptical. whether this initiative by the opportunity does my 3 d have a sound that in most or in the sound petersburg, right there, meeting with president puts in there yet to meet with him right now. i think that's the great thing for him. i bought all the people arguing that with the big experience that southwick indeed, that is how from internal conflicts from regional conflicts. i'm trying to find ways out of civil war is on, across the border. conflicts that they might be able to come out with that kind of
6:19 pm
creative pulled out of the box solutions. now, these are the id, as these are kind of the plans and initiatives i thought of going to be on the table for food and the same as they would put yesterday on the table. is it in scale of us this crisis, this global crisis is multi layer of it center to wind, and that's what, that's what makes it very complicated. the americans digital pins, the chinese everyone is trying to have that on say on it's on. it's not, it doesn't seem that it's being, it's going to be solved as soon as we know that the guy itself is being impacted by that. yeah. and that's why it has a gen, a genuine, a reason to try to initiate on to present this initiative to the uh, the president. so if you look ukraine on the drawer shop in order to find that way, because the flip chart teachers are not freaked out right now is the strategic
6:20 pm
threat. and that's why today the presidents, on deed, as of the african continent sought trying the best to use and leverage they think they have. well yeah, on the russian side, on the western side in order to reach a solution. yes. speaking of lever autonomy, that's exactly it. i mean, how much political leveretts do these leaders have over president clinton? i was given the a russian interest. and i freak out that we've been seeing for the past few months . uh, 40 minutes to live for all of us visited africa and the past year on 3 sides. the russians organize it up for jobs. russia finally, men 3 from it last in march. and in july, next month, there's going to be an africa, russia, summers on in st. petersburg that's going to bring together most of the african lead us and the russian president. this gives an indication that the trends are
6:21 pm
interested. they're interested in revising and restoring relations. and also their own leverage and influence it off the guests that used to be during the soviet union style. so given these 2 ways impressed this could signed off a give the off it can be does something to push with the st. john's. it also interests rather than the, aside from the russians, the west centers also self interest in, in africa. so, i mean, everyone right now is trying to, to, to get involved in this price is a new way or another, another to solve it. i maybe that because also i'll try to. 5 have their own, say on the globe and see rights and that is a live picture from st. petersburg as the african leaders are in the room awaiting president's. put an anti hash. and thank you so much for that update from moscow. well, president let, let him are zalinski has told via the same african leaders that he won't be talking to russia unless it withdraws from ukrainian territory. shown a whole has more from kids on the road to peace is not an easy one,
6:22 pm
said cyril remo close at the south african president here in keep on friday. and so 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, the describes 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,
6:23 pm
because it would contribute to lessening food in security, particularly in the global south since the start of this war. there is no explicit 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. saudi arabia's for a minister isn't iran on an official visit after years of tensions? he's been meeting with the wrongs for administer into wrong. saudi arabia is reopening its embassy, 7 years after it was closed. the diplomatic fall follows a deal brokered by china, of the service to always be no more relations between the 2 countries. because the very important to the region relations of based on mutual respect,
6:24 pm
sovereignty, independence, and interference and internal affairs respect the un charter within the international convention to resolutions. we will hope this reflect positively on both countries. run once peace and stability in the region. we need solid economic and political ground in a region. we need to seize this child. so to make use of the opportunities to go on supporting the palestinian people. we had consultations and during the talks we said sorting out the palestinian problem is the top priority. the bar is running us now from toronto door, so what was the take away message from the press conference that was held? well, the 1st thing was that these 2 countries are serious about resuming diplomatic relations and they want to move for, despite not having any relationship for the past 7 years, we heard from fi is open for hon. the saudi foreign minister. after his meeting with jose, and i'm here at the law here on the waiting for a minister in the capital here at the 2 men reiterating their stance from their
6:25 pm
countries that they are ready to move forward in the next chapter of a relationship between iran and saudi arabia, of course, their relationship was severed as a result of a storming of the saudi embassy by a number of demonstrators in 2016 after she a clerk was executed in saudi arabia. now, 7 years later, after number of attempts by the countries such as iraq and along the chinese managed to broker this deal, which saw the 2 sides coming back to the table and at deciding to put their differences aside. now we understand the saudi foreign ministers currently meeting with a rating president abraham bracy, where he'll likely also stress that his country is ready and willing to re engage with iran. and of course they were looking at economic ties as well. the area of expensive is not only political and cultural, but the economic aspects of the relationship will be also very significant. the, when he was hoping to increase trade with salary would be out to reach
6:26 pm
$1000000000.00 annually. it's currently at about $15000000.00. right. and how high radians feel about this? well, i think from the political perspective in the capital, this is seen as a positive step. it's seen as another win for the race, the government. and it's an important one because saudi arabia, known as a regional power, as well, is seen as a could possibly be an important ally to iran. of course, they've had many differences over the past few decades, but enough to remember saudi rippey also has an important relationship with the west and specifically with the united states. and iran has no relationship with that country. so there is a bit of skepticism as well that we'll, we'll have to wait and see if saudi arabia and the government and we had is able to maintain this balance between how big a relationship with iran and the united states as well. okay, thank you. so much the rest of jabari for the food for me to her on. so as durso
6:27 pm
was just saying, relations between iran and saudi arabia had been hostile for decades, threatening stability as well as security in the gulf. in march this year, they reached an agreement brokered by china to restore diplomatic ties and reopen embassies after 7 years. about 4 weeks later, we are invited to ron's presidents, but i ain't that easy to visit the kingdom. then in may re, i'd help coordinate the evacuation of uranium nationals from some don. days later it runs finance minister visit and saudi arabia to revive trade between the 2 regional powers. let's now speak to optimize ease of us young, who's the saudi foreign policy research, or what the u. k. is lancaster university who's in re joining us via skype. welcome to alj, a 0. what do you think the saudis wants to get out of this as well? for as a good evening and thank you very much for having me. i think what the saudis would want is actually very clear and it was very problem. and the statement that they made is that they wants to believe in the region in order to start to build upon
6:28 pm
the projects and the economic a vision that it has. i think this all of these relies and others also that these are very lofty, very ambitious economic projects cannot be obtained or cannot be reached within an honest, stable region. and i think this is precisely why they're very much cooperating each other with your own. and that it's not going to just, this is not a matter of just instability or addressing the aspects of instability. this is also saying that, hey, you can get a piece of the pie as well. let us all share a piece of the pie. and i think that's why that's what makes this relationship in this particular approach, many different than the previous ones, right? but it's the issue of trust because that could be key here. after years of hostility, it's going to take a while for both sides to regain trust in the other. so from what you heard today,
6:29 pm
you listen to the press conference when what you've seen develop over the past couple of weeks. are you getting a sense at all that that trust has been restored? somewhat? a. this is a good good question i, i think the issue of trust is very important, but i think income grew and is with trust. the aspect of incentive is also very important. this is what's going to happen. it's not enough to just trust each other . it's a, it's what is taking place here and where i think this out of the uranium relationship relations are going in a sphere where they are both incentivized to de escalate any tensions. should they arise in the future? now i don't think anybody is going to get themselves and say, it's just going to be smooth sailing from now. i think there will be conflict in calls which is inevitable, but i think it's the way in which they address these conflicts. and also the reasons to deescalate and that's precisely the economic issue. and that's why it's
6:30 pm
so important and precisely why i think it is a key actor and why this relationship can be sustained. i hear what you're saying about the economic aspect of all of this, but when you look at the crises in the region, to what extent do you think disagreements is going to contribute to contribute to manage or even resolve any of the conflicts in the middle east? they've, they've had differences when it comes to a young man when it comes to syria and so on and so forth. this is a good question, and i think we have to conceptualize these spheres of conflicts. what do i think is very important about the initial re establishment of ties or the announcement of the re normalization. again, between started to review in your room was the aspect of agency. now to assume or to believe that all these spheres of influence arms are as v as
6:31 pm
a conflict. where it be 11 on be in yemen, is simply down to a saudi arabian discord will be simplistic. they were themselves a reason. they have their own dynamics. and that's why the aspect of agency and the fact that there was a young man and you have any situation that actually allowed for a saudi ringing rivalry to spill in to the, to that sphere. the same thing can be set in syria. the same thing could be said and living on. and you're right now what has happened, why is the significant is that, you know, the, the fact that these 2 heavy weights have made that decision and a willingness, as your correspondence has alluded to, right? that this, it should have expand upon that we should exasperate this love rather than happy spears, rather than to have these aspect of competition. those fears be competition that the space for cooperation, because mary brings and the let me just been there for the sake of time. what will
6:32 pm
be the sort of flip mis litmus test to measure this rough estimate of success as well? there's going to be let mrs. tests, and i think because as you mentioned, there's going to be a lot, there's a lot of spears and lot of aspects of trust. and i think it's one of us relations get, normalize an embassy to get opened and then conflicts arise. we will see how we will see how well this relationship is going to be and how they manage it, right? i, i, for the sake of the region, you know, that there is that there is a will and out the thing that was, was missing before the will. and the reason we thank you so much off the seasonal pass you on. thank you for speaking to us from re on my pleasure. thousands of people are marching and southern fronts against the planned high speed train line linking lee on to a touring in italy. so for testers are saying that the
