the the, this is the news line from the slide image to attend offers african countries free russian drain shipments would replace the ukrainian exports for change blocks. and he says russia is expecting a record hottest also on the program. the jazz administrate backs the crew over throwing the government. the president has barricaded inside his own palace, but to wait so that he will be found democracy. north korea and ruler,

came joan old mock, 70 yes. and to the end of the korean war, with a visit from the russian defense secretary of the group stages of the women's world cup. see a repeat of the 2019 fido asset management holton branding champions of the usa to address the feel gaol. welcome to the program. russia is offering free grain to 6 african countries in need of supplies and improves and may be offered during the summit with african, the defense of pages. but russia has withdrawn from a deal that allowed the safe export of ukrainian grain through black c ports a blockade at the beginning of the war and not the ending of the agreement of prompted a search in global grain prices and put food security address. the rest of the

president said, africa is suffering and he can help a commercial sit on that sustain using these different countries as he moved to replace the green and greenville commercially. in the bottom of the directory assistance to the navy used african countries around the temple there. so when a more over this year, we again expect or that got homage or more of a big company. but to be specific about, i would say that we will be ready to provide the dream for free of charge in the next 3 or 4 months. that each of the working of fossil zimbabwe, that's the molly to somalia, monday the central african republic sent the front entry uh the 25250000 tons of green. it should be zip. these are the ones you had in the we would also provide re delivery of these products and consume, i'd say, but i do see what they do. let's take a closer look at this for the samuel romano here teaches politics and international relations at oxford university. and associates a fellow at the royal united services institute defense thinks on the offer of

russia in africa, you joins us from london. welcome to d, w. so it, mr. post and getting lots of a close. that. what, how does he benefit from making this offer as well? i think it's a casual way to withdraw from the box. the green export deal, which is criticized based on the african governments, including egypt in kenya. and it also repaired, with an initiative to directly transfer brand towards african countries. turkey entered was as a leader, that he may even support that direct transfer rank, provided that pressure rejoins the brand deal. so it's hard to make an operation of the rushes, planning these alternatives right doesn't come with any strings such as well. the free green, as you can see, is mostly yeah, dedicated towards countries that a russian family right? mostly as our trade machines are ours, isolated from the left. so i think it does compass them. james is telling that you know, that the russians gave green to molly yesterday. and molly, of course, is the center of water events. lots was very clear and how the security partnership

with russia being friendly with russia. these, you're getting grey and voting for your brain, the u. n. g, a meeting probably not this evening and camera. right, because this was an off a made over. he said 3 to 6 of the 17 countries in attendance or exactly. yeah, and it was a, as i said, being companies that are in attendance. i suggest that there's a smaller than the 43 there were in the last 2019 summer. so the vast majority of the internet is not going to be receiving supplies permission. and so those countries that stayed away what, what was mostly, what are they, are they making a point by staying away? is it was effectively a boy thought because as you say that the, the attendance they see much lower than last year and then 2019 depend. well, i think it reflects in some ways the opinions of various members dates towards the warranty. and we look at the u. n. g mode to see major regional power by the area for many who instructional repeatedly and those that resolution. also, i think,

as the russians have pointed out, they may be some pressure coming from the lessons or play here as well, or the end of it. oh, let's talk about some of the rushes involved in the us and raise, which have been very active on the confidence. how is that change since they abandon them new to me in russia, of what his team is, it has really been much change and how the writer group is actually conducting himself inside africa, as he is if they kept their foundations around 2000 and juice and libya, in spite of a rumor strike on their installations they're, they're holding up. and as in joplin and republican, actually expanding the number of instructors to protect the president water from any kind of unrest ahead of his referendum. and i'm extending his turn beyond regularly by and they're also holding up and modeling to the point in which the molly and is receiving sanctions in the united states. additional sanctions for his work with warner. and now they're trying to capitalize them. the who knew sharing the stuff in there. so i think that longer is basically alive and well in africa and continuing basically as it was before the meeting. so i'm slightly confused. as

to how important africa of this vast continent is to mr. post and his really is going out of his way to make concessions to, to support. so he supports us on, on the continent. but it is a, something that he's particularly positive about is the content and something that, that he is concerned about. i think he sent me this reasoning important quite significantly since 2014 the accusation of crime. yeah. which put russia at opposite the left, rushing naturally went to the collective don west to look for additional partners in africa, of course is the largest block of countries in the u. n. g a. so it's a being to showing that rush is not isolated. also, i think designed to pursue economic opportunities here, but russia's trained with advertise very small. it's really between the network and the dodger. 6000000000 was ups are in africa, 400000000 investments. so, i mean, there's economic opportunities to be had, but russia didn't seem to be like united, those very well. okay, so it's not the top of it. so let's just take

a quick final word on the much volunteer to african a piece proposal. we had so much about it a couple of months ago concerning a russia and ukraine that it just seemed to disappear. what, what didn't find happened as well. i think it just was really and worst of all based on the expectations of the russian. do you for any in size? i mean, obviously one of the ideas of his gross for the african piece, regardless of the 2nd of random and done bass le, financially bass, the institutionalized product, russia. and that's gonna be the grant, absolutely will not accept. and either the russians or the ukrainians, one of these for are right now, ukrainians want to push for full of ration of their territory. and the russians believe in 2024, maybe transferred to santas or a new president of the united states will scale back of military assistance, especially going out last. they may be made gains in the future. so i just think it was out of step with the current moment denies the rushes. are you ready? and one of these fire along the lines, the african proposal was it, was it representing in advance or as the probably china, indonesia, turkey,

and so many other countries have also based around they tried to push or be 0 control. thank you for taking us through that, samuel romani from the role united, the services the institute. thank you very much. and apologize for a couple of a technical glitch is on the line. well, kenya is one of the country's suffering from soaring drain price. this is russia withdrew from the deal on your claim, your next boards. it's in the graph of the west of drafting decades, leaving hundreds of thousands relying on food a felix moving of it. thoughts how much color is responsible for feeding 10 people, including had grandchildren. the kids helped make best rooms to sell it to a local shop. it's that only income selling 12 raises enough to buy a tricky little bag of mail slot. the family have no land. they fled their home during the 2008 post electronic flashes in kenya for date helps,

but no longer comes regularly. it was either on the ground or could younger model and guide the model. i'm busy, we used to get a twice a year. i level and then they brought stuff for us once a month. and if we got a more mod yeah. but then it's thomas is azah and the 4th the we're still waiting for the next delivery would yeah. yeah that's, it's hurting us with us. we're just waiting to see if we'll get food or not. some of the william is has grandson. who studies had he'd love to become a doctor. but he sees landings had on an empty stomach began to union and when i'm hungry, i can't concentrate. we rely on the little food, the or for us in school. at least you can close inside, then i stay in school and study for extra hours in the hope that when i get home, there will be something. but when i get home, there's nothing and i have to sleep on an empty stomach and wake up hungry. honda

is cooking ports as you main and use all the this great soc is now used to fill your 10 fields. the last time she cook anything was last night, then each again this evening. but there is nothing in between the government and it has become like a neighbor to us and it's always here. others, even when we eat, we remain hungry and what else can we do? we don't have any other place to go or anything else we can do about this. i said, how do i go satisfied without food aid? how children will continue going to bed hungry, and they'll continue struggling with studies. cool though, as the food program can funds that how consent a valid and unless there's an increase in dollars and the black sea green initiative resumes, then people like how will continue funding with hunger, w, p, regional, direct stuff for east africa, say a suspension of the green deal will have terrible consequences for that port as people are going to reduce the size of the males. they're gonna cut meals,

they're going to adopt alternative ways of trying. is this a vive with less, and this is wayne, mount nutrition rights will increase. this is when hunger rates will increase. we're already in a bad situation. my fear is with the suspension of this deal. the situation could get worse. higher prices add pressure and then such a into for honda and have family. we'll have to try to add more just to survive. decisions made i was, are we making every day had and dreams see event 5 that are we not to news? yeah, we have a countries ministry leadership has declared its support for the crew against present mohammed presume that had to be honest as he's backing the takeover by the presidential got to avoid a confrontation between factions made for us as detaining the president at his palace. gunshot outside the presidential palace in the army

soldiers fire into the year to disperse protesters as members of the presidential guard say, they had over thrown the government and detained new year's president to all the institutions of the 7th republic, constrained suspended system like london have orders are closed until the situation stabilize as a nationwide curfew is in effect from 10 pm one. so 5 am until further notice i just got to move it off. but on thursday morning came a promise from the president that democracy will remain intact hamlet. but soon seeing and his social media post, the hard one achievements will be safe, guarded, and the all new gerry ends who loved democracy and freedom will see to it. but that may be hard to achieve in reality. with the meeting, this group of soldiers calling on these years, external partners not to interfere. among them,

the united states. we condemn any effort to seize power by force. we're actively engaged with the new here government, but also with partners in the region and around the world will continue to do so until the situation is resolved appropriately and peacefully. like it's west africa neighbors, molly and burkina faso easier is battling extremism. and as a key western ally in africa, it is experienced several cool attempts since gaining independence from france in 1962, those involving the current president and with instability threatening to take over the country again. western meters and the international community is watching on with concerns and took a closer look at the story with all the wow dang,

who is an international development consultant. and so how regional analyst i asked that, who was behind the google, what they want, you know, there's a tendency to, um, once you over connect this, could you talk to other issues that are happening throughout the south region? and while i think about permit is also about the, the major issues that are going on within a year. so essentially the presidential guard and the bulk of the military have decided to go, i guess the president haven't visited who is the 1st democratically elected president of yeah, this isn't the context, not just a very complicated and to tears and fights in this a has whether it be against okay that and the, the stomach, my bread or the firewall, but also in the context of socio economic crisis. and it's anything that has put

more pressure on things of late. okay. so the very sorry, very active because of the deteriorating security situation. and bad governance, is that a description of media that you recognize? absolutely. i spend quite a lot of time uh, almost 3 years in charge, neighboring and share. um this is um the, the port infrastructure. uh, the, the issues around says your economics. this concerns lead a lot of times to the extreme isn't so it is absolutely a concern, and in fact the deteriorating security conditions are often links to this issues of um, you know, populations that are easily radicalized because they don't necessarily have access to um, services. uh or are engaging in rent seeking behaviors uh to acquire services. so i

think, yeah, absolutely. it makes sense. yes. so this house will come from nowhere. and yet we have a foreign minnesota calling on what he called old democrats and patriots to defeat the crew. so given the situation before, because what sort of response do you think he's likely to get, as it's unclear as to the international community, will continue to put pressure for democratic solutions. but i think that unfortunately, there is more, more, a tendency here. there's more, more tendency for populations and leaders, you know, that you not believe that the west will follow through, you know, with threats around democracy. and the reality is that there's a lot of internal news your call takes, in terms of the legacy that were carried over from the colonial period and separation and differences between different populations that carried over and were

maybe frozen for a while re ignited, particularly in the post ad spring post because i see the last game. and so the fact that the credit present it is uh at the saw arab and see by some parts of the publish here. the difference is also one of the reasons why he liked some of the credit unity that he might seek to, to gain and unfortunate. thank sir. uh so how reasonable i must have you on the while then. thank you so much. thank you. you got no career when the lead a came, john phone has met with russian defense minister said guy showing go for talk some close the military cooperation state media side, they agreed on several on specified matters of mutual consent. the us accused is north korea of support in russia of the will in ukraine, which apparently young denies, is to show you that it was in the country alongside

a chinese delegation to mock 17 years since the end of fighting in the korean war between the north and south which i was right, well as an analyst, a career risk group. and so he told me more about how the 2 countries a mocking 70 years since the korean armistice. a new 30 different ways in south cree have president news on the order today. he was sandwiches in the south, but the news you a and he gave a speech. it finally came, the un office, which included the, the us, i me, you tell your model of the office or calling to stop her is a 23 and launches invasion in 1950 north korea has gone for a military variety, which uh, actually just stops it and it's a little sorry, devices, representatives from russia and china to exchange commemorations folder, korean war on the 5th. so what is this to us?

it's a big street in the great small, the lands liberation wall. okay. so uh, kim joe and does seem to be pushing for d for co operation with allies that china and russia. how is that being viewed? and so i think so is going to be quite nervous about that. so 3 all calls on time or if it takes you, it's easy to implement sanctions on the creative who's trying to has such a huge economic influence on or career made somebody the boss majority all is foreign. trade is also going to be quite concerned about driving size between russia and north korea. as you said earlier, enjoy a mess with russian defense ministers, circ a show you. and this might be a fun, you know, the us is a key role. korea all sending me the weapons to russia. say,

this is more in the crime. we haven't actually seen any evidence of this, but the us has said it is happening, show you the visits might be linked to that. right? but it might actually be a willing to south korea because they're, they're being loaded countries pulling on south korea, which produces a lot of white for a full insight on some of the countries. the south korea is actually declined to send its own weapons to ukraine, signing, saying domestic restrictions about it doesn't want to spend weapons to countries in it currently in complex. but it might, it was like the, because it won't say was the inside of relations with russia inside this visit by showing doing these discussions with kim jong. and it might be an indoor right. and warnings the site you know, times starting things about trying to stay and wait and see crime otherwise,

you know, we might have to solve thinking about deepening. all right, and the treat cooperation with north korea. thank you for that. james. the front well from career risk group. thank of the korean armistice which assigned in 1953 stopped the fights and it didn't actually end the conflict. the 5000000 who died in the war included civilians as well as many korean american chinese soldiers. it also divided the country into north and south. an active war has given way to lingering hostility from 28000 us troops are still stationed in south korea and all along the de minutes rise. so in between the 2 countries, soldiers stand ready for the cold war lives on the drum, the demilitarized, so between north and south korea, south korean soldiers keep close watch when every move the communists neighbors make attentions are running high. as north korea tests, as

a more sophisticated besides, some can even reach cities in the us, the country that has pledged to protect south korea. this is most dangerous moment because there is a shortage, asymmetric capabilities. those go ahead which is nuclear capability. once they either use new nukes, or threats and the serious of it. so that's it to you to use nukes, we don't have any plan or keep an eye to keep, defend our country. it is very doubtful that whether american government to ex 3 responded with nuclear weapons, north and south korea formerly still at war with each other. the demilitarized zone bulls established in july 1953. when they ended 3 years of loving war with a korean armistice agreement, the relations between the 2 has had many highs and lows over the past 70 years. but

they have now cooled considerably. reunification is not high on the agenda for many people in the south korean capital. so young age might be uh, get a lot of pressure by leading their own life. but at the same time, if we are thinking about the reunion is some point they have a like a concern. do we have to take care of them too? sweetie de one. and i worry about the increase texas. i will have to pay off to a possibly unification. that might concern the one of them, i guess for a most like all or koreans like with my age, i think they see a more of a distance topic rather than re unification. i think most people want to like just total separation. i think that's like most of as some polls in south korea, sho, about 3 quarters of the public now support the idea of nuclear armament to counter threats from the north. john. so one says south korea should except the fact that

the north has nuclear weapons instead of insisting on nuclear ization as a precondition for adults. he things south 3 of us to not he's when it's find the so called the nuclear ization declaration. just as ukraine was, when it gave up it's nuclear weapons, budapest member run. one of the reason why the cross this all students are concerned about it. this nuclear threat is that we have seen what you couldn't express is this. we will understand that. you print with nuclear weapons would not be in bed by the rush. you know, they're on have to have to do from russia who is supposed to provide sure to guarantee to create a very similar destiny is the evidence, even though he say walking the streets of sold, this frozen conflict seems very far away until one encounters, one of the many memorial sites in town, like here at the warm museum of korea, commemorating the 10s of thousands of south korean and united nation soldiers who

died in the korean war 7 decades later lasting peace still seems out of reach. the out of course is all about the women's world cup where one of the favorites australia was shocked by nigeria, they upset the co host 3 to the result. leaves group be wide open. that is, before half time emily found a bunch of fide into the corner of and that's to put a straight ahead. the super thousands responded just before the break. when she had a condo, found the boat asked the fates to level the much in the 2nd half nigeria added to whole goals to secure the victory. while australia score late in time, i did earlier, the united states and the netherlands imagine a rematch of the 2019 woke up final. that upside looked prime for an upset after scolding the games 1st goal. but the americans managed

a wonderful jewel. the judge came into the match with the promise of finding that gets the feeling broke up champions. the us packing more punch in the 1st half the netherlands took the lead through midfielder jew roared in the 70 minute dominique ensign nearly doubled the lead for the 2017 european champions. but over shot the target. the us went and it half time trailing in a world cup match for the 1st time in over a decade. over coming to detroit at 1st half the us seas controlled, and that is a 62 minute equalizer on a heather from cope happy and lindsey horace. reversing the momentum during a 2nd here on slide. the us piled forward in search of a winter. but it wouldn't count, leaving this hard, but bad a level at 11.

the just want to remind you about top story this of russia's president the votes and has offered free grain to 6 african countries. rush, just pull down to an international deal. a lot of grain exports from the view. correct? i'll be back out the top of the hour minutes a john has the w news agent a just i'm a good day. the
