ah, with ah, we'll say that about 97 percent of the guns for public is now under the control of russian lead forces. further south major poles on the black sea also to have been the mind and are preparing to make long awaited grain shipment. washington allegedly pressures african countries to refuse to buy grain from russia. naming leg nor ringo was sending food prices on the continents with millions. on the brink of starvation plus the massive backlash ignite among federal latin american leaders . out of the u. s. decides not to invite venezuela cuba, nicaragua, to a summit and improving unity in the region. we think it's

a continuation of the old policy of intervention, of disrespect for nations and with what the government of the united states of america is doing is an act of discrimination against the 3 nation. 3 governments. a welcome you're watching on t international with the latest world news is good to happy with us. and starting with the latest on the ukraine conflict, as russians, military has reported is making steady advances in to previously ukrainian held territory in the lockdown scanned don, yes, republics. so this is a 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. while the low downs for public has come predominantly under the control of russian lead forces, they're still heavy fighting and the neighboring don't yet. republic one's hand that the recently changed hands is also goals were nouns for its mountaintop monastery. moscow defense ministry, fed ukrainian troops had been using that orthodox sanctuary. a cover of the russia had found it would not conduct an attack on the religious side to the south. russian forces have completed the mining operations that major ports on the black sea, including in the city of mariel poll, allowing the 1st cargo vessels to enter since the war ruptured the docks and reportedly preparing to make long awaited reign shipments. meanwhile, the spokes person for the un secretary general has admitted he doesn't have any verification for the west's claims about russia, allegedly stealing ukrainian grain supplies. is you the u. n. a. where'd of

such conduct from of russia and ukraine? we've seen. i mean, there was recent media reports, we were talking to our colleagues at w f. p, who would be in the lead. i mean there's no, they have no way of verifying these allegations. or just by the lack of confirmation, the u. s. has reportedly been sending out warnings to african countries to prevent them from buying wheat, allegedly stolen by russia, dances, africa, struggles with the severe food shortage, putting the continent on the brink of thumb. and earlier i discussed the issue with our tea. charlotte dimansky. 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, st. 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 african countries at the moment. because, you know, we have seen massive issues when it comes to the delivery of going to these

countries that heavily depend on these deliveries from russia and also ukraine. countries that are seeing air problems at the moment with a lack of rain coming in that's being 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 food. so there's this big crisis that's looming 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 over and over is how western sanctions are playing into the problems the crisis in africa at the moment, and that's certainly something that the chair of the african union pointed to when he was recently in russia to meet vladimir putin, alo, diesel, we. there are 2 main issues,

the food crisis and the sanctions. we must work together to resolve this issues. so the sanctions, prevention food supplies are lifted. its obvious sanctions against russia have only exacerbated the situation. now we have no access to russian grain and was even worse. we have no access to rush and fertilizers. the situation was already bad and now it's worse with foot secures 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 any european union. we heard from at the european union council present, shaw, michelle just the other night at the un who said, you know, this is all russia's fault, let's be honest. the kremlin is using food supplies. oh, so still from sale. oh, don't develop, intern threes. that america turns to trenches offer shall fall off brewing over across the globe. and this is driving a foot crisis. pushing people into poverty and disturbing isn't entire regions. now

the u. s. continues to claim russia is blocking ukraine's grain exports. so what's the latest on their situation from the kremlin? that's why the u. s. is also accused russia, using blackmail it comes to this grain. but russia says it's been very clear, it wants to get these grain shipments out and it's prepared to do whatever is possible to be able to open those ports. again, it is doing this d mining operation in the black c ports to allow the shipping lanes to be free and secure. and that is something that is said it wants to do for a long time. the minds that were put in the water were apparently put there by ukraine lacing them so also as a form of stopping the shipping routes. now what we have seen 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 and suitably happy with that,

and it probably needs to look the proposals even further. but what we have heard from the ukranian president, sir 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 gender out and to be really looking after 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. a member of the africa humanitarian action organization says there's no reason to follow washington's orders. if doing so, could exacerbates the continents hunger crisis. i don't think is appropriate for anybody to tell african smoked bios from,

from anywhere when millions salary. and therefore, it's very important that we get the food as soon as possible before dying. and it's really important that most often countries, including south africa question the show of why they should support any initiative from any other side of it is an online company. and therefore, it's very important that africa keeps the goods open with any country in the world . this is very important source for africa because we have a lot of people here. we have climate change in our lives and now we have a 1000000 droughts, not happening in many parts of africa. simply we cannot make a profit. got phones in this case on the happening, the sensor per box. the controversial summit for the america is hosted by the us has been causing a major backlash in the region with mexico. presidents now refusing to attend hand

isn't as well encounter part of florida. washington the decision to exclude several latin american countries from the events. i am 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 opposed 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 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 of sanctions, blockades, exclusions and discrimination. what the government of the united states of america is doing is an act of discrimination against 3 nations. 3 government law got

whitehouse spokesperson korean john p. s. a story bought and doesn't want to quote dictators to attend the summit. they excluded countries or cuba, but his way and nicaragua, or 3 previously targeted with us sanctions. washington has the bias decisions on stress that they, they expect the summit to still be successful. the summit taking place in los angeles was planned to revive us engagements in the region with migration issues, and some increase in the oil trade on the agenda. but livi as president has said he wants to attend the leaders of guatemala. el salvador and honduras are also not expected. early i discuss the issue with a previous us presidential candidate to coordinate the cuba and finance while a full authority committee, gloria liver. as lopez over to dawn and president, the us canal of cuba have said, as well as many others, they're all seen. the u. s. is itself, the one that becoming isolated by this highly anti democratic position to

deny the invitation to the 3 countries. q of venezuelan, he got iowa in the whole world, whether it's the u. s. army of ukraine and its involvement in eastern europe with the sanctions against russia. that if you don't go by the way of us, you will suffer sanctions, blockade, and even war. and what's taking place right now with a summit of the americas is a failure by the united states because it can no longer dominate and dictate as it used to. and those countries have said, it's time that we have the say in our own continent, the community of latin american and caribbean states was formed. so lock, this is why they have begun to insist that there has to be economic and political, social integration of the americas without the us and without canada, who have dictated to them for too long. for president joe biden

has declared an energy emergency in the us thank potential power shortages, jeopardize national security, and the quality of life of americans by them has blamed russia and climate change for the crisis. same the u. s. might not be able to generate enough power to the so consumer demands multiple factors, a threatening the ability of the united states to provide sufficient electricity generation to serve expected customer demand. these factors include disruptions of energy, markers, cost, voy, russia's invasion over ukraine, and extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change. and the pentagon has added feel to the fires, saying that china could undermine us. national security through beijing is control if key global supplies of ram, minerals, and vital for the production of american military electronics artes. callum open hospital. 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 element 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 ecologically 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 an to have 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 mine's 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 sided sanction is illegal and not aligned with the national policy of china. china repeatedly at a tree war is a lose lose situation. the vital administration. order back on the us imports of a key solar panel material from chinese space companies over force labor

applications. over the course of the last few years, similar issues and other reasons such as gina had been used as an excuse for the u. s. to south fate, to show you trade war we've china, but he's china who has pains that can tolerate heavy pollution stage to get to the stage of manage pollution to peer up the whole supply chain of where of production and mining of these materials in the u. s, on the other hand, is highly limited due to heavy and foreign mental regulations is incredibly difficult to synchronize and create a vertically aligned supply chain. that not only exists in china, but he's not impossible. irish airline ryan has spark sound rage off the forcing south african passengers to take a quiz to board its flights to wait for your passport. the test was written in african say, fast language for possibly any. 13 percent of south africans was some of the passengers have said photos all the test in africans,

which is also being told the tongue of apartheid. a painful chapter in the country's history. the general knowledge testing kids, questions about the geography history and culture of south africa. we going to reaction from one of the passengers. he had to take the quiz to be faced with a taste like that was very surprising because i've never had anything like that before. the test was basically just asking questions about of africa, but had to be on that in africa. doesn't confirm the validity of citizenship at all because it only cases call percent of the population. so it's actually marginalizing the population more than it's testing to see fewer south africa. on the take me, for instance, i have friends who don't speak any offer. collins at all, so they wouldn't post a taste, but 100 percent south africa and it's marginalizing it it's, it's discriminating against the population and it definitely splits the population, which is what we've tried so hard to avoid for tween ideas for my understanding of

the situation they're trying to prevent fortune and passport. so i think that matter will be dealt with an embassy, dramatic level, and not a language test. it's, you cannot victimized traveling population or marginalized will discriminate against them because of problems that's it's on a government label, especially like this, especially in terms of especially where we come from our country. what has been through where it's going, using that language is exactly what a project was. you know it marginalized again, that 88 percent of the population and had the 12 percent being able to do anything brings up all the scores and all the memories from the post. according to line, as south african passengers will be denied travel on the airline, albeit with a full refund unless they pass the controversial test earlier, the south african government res concerns are the numerous reports and fraudulent passports in the country. we also got reaction to the scandal from former south african official, kenneth met etha. so africa is going to be living in the official language.

and they live in official languages, doesn't mean everybody speaks. they are below. the majority of south africans, especially black, should lead africans to do so that they can travel overseas. that's wrong. it's clearly wrong, thus discrimination. they're doing this being at the wrong time for their own reasons. i understand the little fraudulent passport. yes. but to test all of us in the loan with your for guns, it's extremely role. i would suggest the so how from the government should go on this diplomatically and try to sort out their programs the us as urge serbia to focus more on his goal of joining the e u. instead of criticizing its neighbors for recent scandal, when several balkan countries denied the russian foreign ministers playing passage to serbia through their ass space. and serbian president has been publicly

condemning the most for cooper. i haven't seen the kind of hysteria for a long time. that little serbia has been exposed to in europe and around the world due to the arrival of love raw. you can't believe how much pressure there was on serbia because of that visit said he has been facing heavy western criticism for its refusal to impose sanctions against russia, foreign minister. so gay lathrop was scheduled to visit belgrade on monday to meet with top officials, including president v church of being forced to cool off his flies over the ass based band. last off then slams the main saying it effectively deprived a sovereign country, the right to its own foreign policy. a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade, se serbia is being pressured to take a stance against moscow. people in the arctic circle should be shot by lateral acts. i would say of nato, because this is obviously not a independence solution. independent move on

either bulgaria, montenegro, or norma, cydonia. united states is trying to force her to really abandon its policy. uh, political and military neutrality, i can't use any other word box and insulins because this is a really thriving what is happening because we are imposed to behave a certain way or else are publicly the fabio to serbia. montenegro was, was bombed by, by nato, and part of it surgery is still occupied by nature forces. and i think that that's the language that we hear now is language of threats. ah, the world's richest man, a long mask 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 long to remain silent about it. 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 my going to be most high profile figures. depression wasn't as being low back, but nearly 3 years after his death. the latest update in the saga around yet another day at this time, there was mark middleton in arkansas, business man, and adviser. former president bill clinton, reportedly introduced him to epstein while police world mills and death a 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 me or 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. police 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 released, the former clinton advisers 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 and 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 face felony fraud and conspiracy charges, the firms 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, john luke were and l was found dead in a prison cell earlier this year. yet a long history of accusation that included both applying young girls to epstein to abuse and abusing them himself. the details of the whole investigation and to pronounce deb have yet to be released. and while going, maxwell appears to be the only remaining as soon associated 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 acting 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 events. and to that end even must, has a point after years of refusing 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 her with crimes. they are accused of committed in washington. rachel blevins, r t c for me u. s. senate age tar. read says the mainstream media have been deliberately silent when it comes to reporting on the jeffrey epstein. case. there's been kind of a hush hush. you'll notice that corporate legacy, web western media is not touching who the clients were of epstein. why is western media not covering much about the up steam trial or the fall? 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,

particularly smaller media of getting cancel. the platform being called, you know, being told is called the 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. many thanks for keeping us company here in the international as always, plenty more to be found on our website on con. ah

350th anniversary of peter, the grades. birth is june 9th. he ruled from 168221725 founded the city of saint petersburg as russians window for europe. how's his dream of russia being part of europe come to an end? at this point, this seems very like ah, during the 2nd world war in nazi occupied poland molina was a farming region. today is part of ukraine. between 19431945 members of the ukrainian insurgent army led by step on bendara. nasa could thousands of poles in valeria, in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process. the mergers were particularly horrific and brutal villages were burned and property looted. the valinda massacre is without

doubt one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. my al ukrainian politician, the 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 aline, us to divide people ah ah, what not so much with

the official please who it can use. not if the new was unwinnable is deal it is. i didn't miss it. so i didn't good. but she'll slow push those quotes that the good boy willis, william nor go minogue, leave it to bill at the curb. my humor got to read about the look. what seems fear him, but see him on the probably him eat seamless. selenium was a media and a good boy is great. yesterday she sitting upright and got to the screen. yes, i see 2 weeks. is this what i'm oh, the truck is nice if when you might still farseason will not say more if say give
