all ukrainian politicians are still reluctant to talk about these events. how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past. and why does the memory of the us do divide people ah, monica say that about 97 percent of the la guns for public is now under the control of russian lead forces. further, south major pulls on the blanks. they are supposed to have been the mind and all preparing to make long awaited grain shipment portion to report the precious african countries to refuse to buy grain from russia, seemingly ignoring a worsening food crisis on the continent, with millions on the brink with the massive backlash dig 9th among several latin american leaders off the u. s. to flies not doing flights, but it's way like cuba and nicaragua to a summit, proposed to improve unity in the region. we think it's

a continuation of the old policy of intervention, of disrespect for nations. new people with the government of the united states of america is doing is an act of discrimination against 3 nations, 3 governments. ah, very well welcome to you. this is the international with the latest world news. it's good to have you with that we start with the latest on the ukraine conflict downs, rushes military as our post is making steady advances into previously ukrainian held territory and against antonia. it's republics. fill in missouri. there sitting total of 97 percent of the territory of the legal republic has been liberated so far. recovery operations are currently underway in those areas to return to normal civilian life. in mario pl electricity and water supplies have been restored to residential buildings and streets are being cleaned. the mining operations are in

full effect throughout deliberative areas. that's all they look down square, public has come predominantly under the control of russian lead forth is. there's still heavy fighting in the neighboring don. yes, republic one found that recently changed tongue say that the author goals, renowned for its mountain top monastery, of course, defense ministry, said ukrainian troops have been using that orthodox sanctuary as cover of the russia had vowed it was not conduct an attack on the religious site or to the south, russian forces have completed the mining operations at major ports on the black sea, including in the city of mario paul, along the 1st congo vessels. to enter since the war, wrapped in the dogs and reported the preparing to make long awaited grain shipments . but the local authorities say the ukrainian army attempted to destroy the rainstorm mario post paused. arty corresponded remark, closer of it's not the facility trying to get inside. we are right outside of the c port in the city of farm or you pool houses and major grain storage facility,

at least 57000 tons. now, according to local authorities, ukrainian army, as they were retreating from this c port, they tried to destroy all the grain that was said here that so wheat and corn and the local authorities said they, they could not put out the fire for 3 days. great. now, my crew and i will try and get in to this a great storage facility and finds out whether these reports worked for me. while the u. s. is apparently trying to put a new spin on the grain story, reportedly sending out warnings to african countries, claiming russia is trying to sell them stolen, wheat. the import, the facing severe shortages with some african governments, even implementing a state of emergency over a possible famine. that says the west maintains the crisis is all russia's fault of mine. there's, i'm joined the city of our correspondence, shall i dimansky, shall it, thank you for coming in. so was the latest to it, was the latest behind these allegations?

well, this is the u. s. that is apparently said out a memo to some 14 countries, many of which are on the african continent saying don't buy grain from russia. if you do, you must understand that this grain has been stolen from ukraine. that's at least the allegation from the state department in the u. s. and this is a huge quandary for many russian apps of many african countries at the moment. because, you know, we have seen massive issues when it comes to the delivery of grain to these countries. that heavily depend on these deliveries from russia and also ukraine, countries that are seeing problems at the moment with a lack of rain coming in that's been problematic the crops. and there's an understanding that some 17000000 individuals just in 3 countries on the african continent are facing hunger in the near future. we've also had a warning from chad. it's declared an emergency situation when it comes to suit. so there is this big crisis that swimming on the african continent, and now they're being told don't buy grain from russia because it may have been

stolen from ukraine at one of the things we have heard of i know for is how western sanctions are playing into the problems, the crisis in africa at the moment. and that's certainly something that the ad chair of the african union pointed to when he was recently in russia to meet vladimir putin. a la designer we. there are 2 main issues, the foot crisis and the sanctions assault. we must work together to resolve this issues. so the sanctions, prevention for supplies are lifted. maloof that saw the sanctions against russia have only exacerbate of the situation. now we have no access to russian grain and was even the worse we have no access to russian fertilizers. the situation was already bad. and now it's worse with foot security in africa at risk. so russia has denied, obviously that it's doing this at, but that is not have the west sees it, particularly in the european union. we heard from at the european union council

present, shall michelle just the other night at the u. n. who said, you know, this is all russia's fault, this is nothing to do with sanctions. this is purely as a result of this. essentially rush and blackmail let to be honest. the kremlin is using food supplies. oh, so stilton sale. oh, don't developing countries that are matter transparencies offer, sher swore are spilling over across the globe, and this is driving a foot prices pushing people into poverty and dish to bill isn't entire regions. and russia is solely responsible for these foot, cries russia alone. despite the kremlin and burns of flies and disinformation, now the u. s. continues to claim that russia is blocking ukraine's grain exports. so what's the latest on this situation from the kremlin? that's why the u. s. is also accused russia,

using blackmail it comes to this screen. but russia says it's been very clear, it wants to get these green shipments out and it's prepared to do whatever is possible to be able to open those ports again as you've just been hearing that it is doing this d mining operation in the black sea ports to allow the shipping lanes to be free and secure, and that is something it said it wanted to do for a long time. the minds that were put in the water were apparently put there by ukraine, leasing them so also as a form of stopping the shipping routes. now what we have seen in the last few hours is that turkey and russia have come to a tentative agreement, apparently, to allow those shipments out turkey saying that will act essentially as a 3rd party guarantor when it comes to this issue. however, keith says it's not as suitably happy with that, and it probably needs to look at the proposals even further. but what we have heard from the ukranian presidents lensky is what he believes is what should happen. he's talked about the only way to guarantee the safety of those green shipments from

black see ports would be for the west to give you quain, more weapons at particular what he wants them to give him is antique ship weapons. and he says that would be the only way of guaranteeing that safety really difficult discussions. all parties oversee clear to get their own agenda route and to be really looking off themselves here. but i think we need to spare a thought for the african continent, which is the one where we're seeing millions of people, possibly facing famine and starvation in the very near future. absolutely as a pressing issue. thank you for bring this, the latest on that. that 30 shallow dimansky, thank you. now pakistan has been looking for alternative ways to conduct financial transactions with russia him at the western sanctions. that's according to the south asian countries ambassador to moscow with the majority of the world refusing to join the west campaign. my colleague, you know, no, discuss the situation with mohammed atta javert,

the director of the pakistan house international thing tag the euros center, and the u. s. centric and the west centric policies. more or less has been creating lot of trouble for the developing countries. for only one matter, i think the sanctioned regime has paralyzed many economies. the new world order, i would say also can be categorized in terms of how he, one country or set of country stand up to one narrative. the construct that only the western way to deal with any shoe is correct. one large majority of countries, if you look at them, you will find out that it is only a matter of opportunity when you ask them about the issue. they will speak up, he's got china, india, pakistan saying, well, hold on you're, you're not, you're not talking for us as well. we want to make our own decisions there. and i think it has that be more to the forefront of western leaders mine since the start

of the korean conflict. i think it came later to be honest because they were under the perception or view that when they will say that this is the reward will make the decision to the western world in meaning. this didn't happen because the countries made their own minds up. they looked at their own national interests and the respectively made the decisions when the, during the voting boss wanting. i think also that is a political fantasy on the part of the western powers that they considered that they can get away with whatever they want to do with any developing country. what example, all those was previous wars are imposed on other countries. had shown a very bad result, unpopular to see and making even at their home is it in the process of occurring western dominance coming to to a close process has started. i mean, they will never accept this a political defeat that they accept at. okay. we failed in all these countries. we

could not maintain peace, we loss trillions of dollars and we had to leave in some kind of, you know, submission to the countries and then in afghanistan included, can you give us a sense of how the east now sees the west has not changed since the conflict again, we're east has a one comparison that make, for example, i can give you an assessment. these say that all right, all this human rights, all this destruction, this show and propagate whatever happened the ukraine. but what did on the member that any one of them can come out. they came out after very many hundreds of thousands of people could millions refugees in iraq, for example. or we were wrong at the time. and then they went to syria. they had a problem, then they went to libya. so they are looking at somebody that the rest should have stood there when they have initiated all the unit wars, but did refuse to accept the responsibility. it is impossible that the united

states and other countries desirous to abandon box on those shall relationship in the past 20 years, going to a very positive trajectory. and we are of the opinion that this conflict will be dissolved sooner or later. but at the same time, the south asian countries and other countries has a great example to know that when the rest decides to something in their interests, they will come together. but when the global challenges there, they will not. they think that the european problem is everybody's problem is not the way the controversial summit for the america is hosted by the u. s. has been causing a major backlash in the region with mexico's presidents now we're facing to attend . he and his venezuelan cans part of slammed washington's decision to exclude several latin american countries from the events a lot. i'm not going to the summit because not all countries of the americas were invited. i believe in the need to change

a policy that has been imposed for centuries exclusion and the desire to dominate, for no reason. the failure to respect the sovereignty of countries, the independence of each country. we think it's a continuation of the old policy of interventionism, of disrespect for nations and their peoples no further more. so we have expressed our admiration for the clarity and courage of president lopez abra door and all our support for the message he has sent in recent weeks of abandoning the world, the sanctions, blockade exclusions and discrimination. what the government of the united states of america is doing is an act of discrimination against 3 nations. 3 government, we'll look at whitehouse spokesperson corinne. john pierre said. joe biden doesn't want to quote dick paces to attend the summit. they excluded countries. i'll keep up venezuela. and nicaragua, all 3 previously targeted with us sanctions,

washington has to buy is decisions on stress and they expect for some it's to still be successful. summer taking place in los angeles was planned to revive us engagements in the region with migration issues and an increase in the oil trade high on the agenda. but according to journalist benjamin north, in many latin american countries have been looking to improve that ties with other major powers 1000 uses by the end of the u. s. seeing that there is crisis in the region, and that's why they want to use this summit to basically say, we are still the head of the americas. but the response from several countries in the region shows understanding that there are alternatives that the u. s. is not the only power they can improve relations with china, russia, iran, or india. in this sense, the failure of the summit of the americas reflects major changes in today's world. and in geo politics. us private, enjoy, abide and has declared an energy emergency thing. potential power shortages jeopardize national security on the quality of life of americans. whiteness blamed

russia and climate change for the looming crisis saying the u. s. might not be able to generate enough power to fulfill consumer demand. multiple factors are threatening the ability of the united states to provide sufficient electricity generation to serve expected customer demand. these factors include disruptions of energy markers caused by russia's invasion of ukraine and extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. on the pentagon has, i think, still to the fire thing that china could undermine us. national security, 3 pages control of t, global supplies of ram, minerals vital for the production of american military electronics. this is caleb morgan has mal when it comes to rare earth minerals, china has the market cornered, almost 90 percent. and at this point, we've got a member of congress coming forward, introducing a bill intended to reduce dependency. the chinese communist party has a choke hold on global rare earth elements supplies,

which are used in everything from batteries to fighter jets, ending americas dependence on the tcp for extraction and processing of these elements is critical to winning the strategic competition against china and protecting our national security us dependency on china is being declared to be a national security risk due to the fact that missiles anti tank weapons and other pentagon hardware depend on rare earth minerals for their computer chips. when china cut off japan supply, this was a very dramatic blow. now we have us officials coming forward and saying we need domestic production of this vital commodity. our mission as a company is to restore the full rare of supply chain to the knighted states of america. and so we have this unique resource. we can also do it in an environmentally conscious way. we have by now invoking a war time law to make sure it gets done. strong words and dramatic legislation are one thing, but actually getting it done might not be so easy. currently,

the united states only has one mind that extracts where are minerals and setting up a whole chain could take years. also, rare earth mining is not good for the environment. it's pretty eager, logically damaging with long term consequences. also, much of the land that would have to be utilized is currently designated for native americans. not surprisingly there's quite a bit of pushback. there is no situation in which i'm going to feel good about giving even more subsidies to the mining industry. hard rock mining is governed by a severely outdated 150 year old law that less mining companies get away with destroying the environment and hurting nearby communities without paying a sent in federal royalties or paying to clean up toxic abandon mine lands. it's not just a new too rare. are the elements usa also depends on china for solar panels. the white house has just granted a 24 month exemption to the tariff imposed on china in order to allow solar panels to be imported to the united states. the tariff that was imposed out of supposed

concern for human rights has been put on hold out of necessity. the pentagon is scrambling to make sure it has computer chips for its weapons. and at this point, us officials are trying to figure out how to set up a whole new chain of minds. tariffs are being put on hold. washington has a big mass on its hands, a big mass that could easily be avoided if they simply learned to get along with china. so far, the chinese government has not threatened to cut off the supply to the us and keeps insisting data one site, a sanction is illegal and not aligned with the national policy of china. china repeatedly said that a tree war is a lose lose situation. the vital and ministration order a ban on the us imports of a key solar panel, but euro from chinese space companies over force labor applications over the course of the last few years. similar issues and other reasons such as junior, have been used as an excuse for the u. s. to south face to show you trade war we've

china, but he's china who has pings that can tolerate the heavy pollution stage to get to this stage of manage pollution to pick up the whole supply chain of production and mining of these materials in the u. s. or the other hand is highly limited due to heavy and mental regulations is incredibly difficult to synchronize and create a vertically aligned supply chain that not only exists in china, but it's not impossible. i wish i line ryan has sparked outrage off the 4 things south african passengers to take a quiz on a slice to wait out fraudulent passports. the test was written in afrikaans a 1st language for reportedly only 13 percent of south africans. ok we seem to be having some technical difficulties. let's move on to another story

. now. now serbia has been facing heavy western criticism for its refusal to impose sanctions against russia for minutes to say a lot of was scheduled to visit belgrade on monday to meet with is top officials, including president of the church, us after being forced to call off his flight over the ass space of some some if thank it, effectively to price a suffering country of a right to its own of foreign policy. let's get some reaction on the inside. now from the steve and a guy, a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade, me, thanks for joining us on the program. so what's your take on why the usa department to south tally? so be a to stop talking about the law from flight incidents and just move on. i mean, this is an act of author influence and it is but continuing, i mean, 1st of all, what people are in diplomatic circles should be shocked by

the unilateral acts. i would say of nato because this is obviously not a independent solution. independent. i move on either bulgaria, montenegro or norma cydonia. so now that the united states is trying to force her to really abandoned its policy of political and military neutrality. i can't use any other word bought a insulins because this is a really describing what is happening. we are imposed to behave a certain way or else well, or else is probably what we've seen. 30 years ago. i have 2 or sorry who are less than 20 years ago. i have to remind your audience that satellite fabio to

serbia montenegro was, was bombed by, by nato and part of its territory. it's still occupied by the forces. and i think that that, that's the language that we hear now is language of threats. what do you thing with the reasoning behind the decision bible area and macedonia, and montenegro to denial off of plane entry through their i space. they think they acted independently here. know that i think that, that they had no say in their sovereign decision because or they were told what to do. so this doesn't mean that they will suffer to consequences in one way or another. because of course, this is an insult for our, like russia to get it minister of foreign affairs denied by such i must say

minor countries. so of course, this was a act of, i would say proxy diplomatic war by the united states. and so how do you feel about a statement saying the incident deprived to sovereign country of its might to its own foreign policy? unfortunately, she's good with your rights. i mean serbia is denied to have started policy. i think that should be a will continue on resisting because that is the, the way that the overwhelming majority of population here feels. i have to say that the united states, the name of the collective was, has the same problem with, serves a 941, our government at the time assigned to treaty with him. but then there was a reaction by the population. there was a military cou,

a huge demonstrations in belgrade, which over through the government. so having this article last and of course, our authorities know how people feel about it. those policies that will give you maintenance. and that is why people want to have a different policy and want to continue having relations with other countries, such as russia, which is traditional allies by putting itself in not by keeping an independent position. i said, here is really, i think it is south too, that they are very vulnerable position as well, isn't it? so what do you expect to belgrade to do next? and also what, what sort of western pressure do you think it should be bracing for the pressure now or today i was in my office and there was another fake bomb threat. nevertheless, of course, the people from a, from,

from different agencies had to come and check this. and this is happening every day . how many places there are, these falls bomb threats that are happening daily, especially in belgrade, and since for february 24th, basically since the beginning of our special military operation by russia forces. because serbia is seen, what are ones that are not as, as a russian ally, which is why the pressure is really immense. and of course, on the other hand, this frustrates the people here who have actually a genuine, i was the sentence about, about russia and actually now they're motivated to have them more after friends, because that's how i mentality works. the thing is that service never really complies to brush or well a, which is maybe we pay the high price in history. but again,

the approach trust with pressure repeatedly will come with, with fierce resistance saving ha, professor at the institute of european studies and bank, great, many thanks for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. now the world's richest man, ellen musk has raised questions about why the u. s. justice department has refused to reveal the secret client list of sexual predator, jeffrey epstein, and why the western media has largely remained silent about only thing more remarkable than department of justice. not leaking the list, is that no one in the media cares. doesn't that seem odd? that would make me ask one of the most high profile figures to question was an ad seems a little black, but nearly 3 years after his death. the latest update in the saga around yet another debt. this time there was mark middleton and arkansas, businessman and adviser, former president bill clinton, reportedly introduce him to epstein while police world milton death is suicide. his

former associates are now calling for an independent investigation after he was found hanging from a tree with a gunshot wound to the chest. every one that i know here that has worked with mark knows it is physically impossible for mark to have killed himself. he could not physically hold a shot gun and done that to himself. he knows nothing about guns. he hated guns. he couldn't have tied a news to save his life. the man couldn't change a lightbulb by himself. he was the least physically skilled person i have ever met in my life. well, these are now saying they can't release any reports related to the middle of death because it is considered an active investigation. as for the question of when the information could be really the former clinton advisors family as follow the last thing to stop investigators from disclosing any detail. it's also notable, the family is using the rose law firm, which just happens to be the same firm. hillary clinton worked for before becoming

1st lady. the firm became known for its time to the clintons in the 1990 s. as it was at the center of the notorious whitewater development scandal, where the clintons were absolved of any wrongdoing, while their associates based felony fraud and conspiracy charges, the firm's partner vince foster also made headline after he was named deputy white house council under the clinton administration and then died just months later, and what was also role the suicide. just by working for the rose law firm for 15 years, hillary clinton makes no mention of it on her website. and it doesn't stop there. another i've seen associate modeling agent. jean luc brownell was dead in a prison cell earlier this year. he had a long history of accusation that included both applying young girls to epstein to abuse and abusing them himself. the details of the investigation and to pronounce that have yet to be released. and while going, maxwell appears to be the only remaining su associate behind bars. while the rest

was free, it's becoming clear that their crimes have always been an open secret. at least for the political establishment. epstein was hiding in plain sight. we all knew about him. we all knew what he was doing, but we had no one that was no legal aspect that would go after him. they were afraid of him for whatever reason, they were afraid of them. and to that end even has a point after years ever using to address jeffrey ad scene of the story that was hiding in plain sight, the u. s. political establishment and the mainstream media continue to protect his associates and the her rick crimes. they're accused of committed in washington. rachel blevins, r t u. i sent it to a tara read. say the mainstream media have been deliberately silent when it comes to the reporting on the jeffrey epstein case. there's been kind of a hush hush. you'll notice the corporate legacy, web western media is not touching who the clients were of epstein. why is western

media not covering much about the epstein trial or the fallout? and i think you have the answers when you look at, you know, the amount of people that have tried to come forward about the clintons. and there's this growing body count. i think there's an element of fear in the united states amongst, you know, a particularly smaller media of getting cancel. the platform being called, you know, being told is called a conspiracy at the very least. and at the very most, getting threats even coming out with anything against the clintons, can have a reverberation as far as getting the platform canceled on social media. but thanks for joining us. there went off the international web back in 30 minutes with more our.
