an engagement equal trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart and we choose to look for common ground. ah, a deal is agreed by russia and ukraine to open up block c ports for grain exports. russia's foreign minister said it's proof of western accusation stating moscow provoked that global food prices were growing lists unfold the signing of the memorandum between russia and the u. n. has once again underlined the absolutely artificial nature of the west attempts to put the blame for problems with the grain supplies to the world markets on russia. both in europe, whole and interpol ring the alarm over the influx of weapons into ukraine, possibly making their way to terrorists and criminal groups all over the world.

also ahead it's not only ukrainian army that they're fighting against as positions very close to here, full of for in the mercenaries, as well. on our tea crew joint russian lead force is on the front line. it's done by us where the army is currently targeting ukrainian military positions, locations from where a key of troops have reportedly been shelling the city of done with security forces in crisis had shrunk. a raid the main anti government protest, cowboy, a senior veteran law maker, is sworn in as the new prime minister with broadcasting from moscow. this is our team. my name is unit oneal on 30 minutes of news and views start. russia and ukraine have separately entered dig

along, creating a car, a door for grain to leave black c ports. the agreement was broken earlier by turkish on united nations mediators. in istanbul, they said that the signing of papers is a vitally important step for many countries. to day, there is a beacon on the black sea, a beacon of hope, a beacon of possibility. the question has not been what is good for one side or the other. the focus has been on what methods most for the people of our world view grow or near jay. we are proud that we played an important role in the initiative which played a great role in resolving the global food crisis that has gripped the world for a long time. today we have agreed on the text and together we have contributed to preventing the danger of hunger that awaits billions of people around the world, the n. i stick tickets in some details, according to the agreements. ukraine will not d mine, it's ports, but provide ships with safe passage for the export of agricultural writ. moscow had

repeatedly said it would provide safe corridors for grain exports, but ukraine would need to remove mines from port waters. now, under the deal, brain ships will 1st be afforded by ukrainian and then turkish vessels on their way to international waters via the black sea. the agreement will facilitate the distribution of up to 25000000 tons of weeks to international markets. and the russian defense minister also says the ships will be inspected for the presence of weapons. but there is another quilt of 2 documents have been signed, aimed solving problems with the supply of grain and fertilizers to world markets. these documents are interrelated and represent a single package. the 1st document guarantees lifting restrictions on russian agricultural products and fertilizers to export to world markets with the participation of the u. n. the 2nd document implies that everything will be done to ensure the export of goods from ukrainian ports. is important for us to inspect

ships for the presence or absence of weapons and military equipment. the inspections will be carried out on ships entering and exiting the black sea. by the way, the russian ukrainian delegation didn't sign any documents directly with each other . and in fact, never met. the papers were assigned only with the mediators named the turkish president ridge of ty, bird. among the un secretary general antonio could terrace the topic of the food crisis and means of a solution has been on the agenda of numerous high level meetings of late with western nations. quick to play moscow for provoking the crisis. however, rushes foreign minister, things that friday steal proofs such allegations are groundless. still for them, it's gratifying that washington and brussels have stopped obstructing the achievement of today's agreements. the signing of the memorandum between russia and the u. n. has once again underlined the absolutely artificial nature of the west attempts to put the blame for problems with grain supplies to the world markets on russia. political and economic commentator will char ds, believe the green crisis,

has also been fueled by transport, cos we have other problem. the other problem is the full price. the full price is the right is in the reason of the, the other price is going up. so what do we need to find one solution for this fool chris is in the world. so right now we need to deal with this part of the debt problem and do for you because the influence of either products with the serial. so we have them do 4 foot drug for this, need to transport it to, to take this product in africa is jane euro. so we need to find one solution for that because this, the serial for a serial crisis. this is the part of one per to what part of this problem. so now this is the reason i go directly. there must go from there to russia government for this big step, but we need to do more. what more we need to do,

maybe the worst in countries need to sit and fund other solution and talk with the must go or something like that to fund one solution for that problem. weapons flowing into ukraine could end up in the hands of criminal gangs. that's according to the european union agency for law enforcement cooperation, which also said, such networks are active in the region and may attempt to smuggle arms out of the country. there is a risk that these weapons and military goods will end up in the hands of organized crime or terrorists. this is just more of an official warning now coming from europe's top law enforcement agency, that weapon they're actively being smuggled from ukraine into europe and being sold on the block market. now this latest report from the agency notes that there are alarming risk of weapons smuggling and that those arms are getting into the hands of criminals and gangs. it also notes that they found evidence of a build up of weapons and ammunition along the border,

indicating that this problem is likely much more widespread than is being reported . now interposed secretary general rather has already warned that this is a concern and that there's not much on their end that they can do about it. take a listen. we had to say once the guns full silent and ukraine, the illegal weapons will come. we know this from many other theaters of conflict, criminal groups try to exploit these chaotic situations and the availability of weapons, even heavy weapons. we can expect an influx of weapons in europe and beyond. we should be alarmed, and we have to expect these weapons to be traffic not only to neighboring countries, but to other continents. now, even though this hasn't received a lot of coverage, it has been a major concern as the us and its allies have started that steady stream of weapons to ukraine. and especially as the binding administration is admitted in the past that it can't do much in order to attract those weapons once their son overseas. and this comes hot on the heels of the life of the ukrainian president, making a red trip to the u. s. that's weapons related to, isn't it?

that right, ukraine's 1st lady visited washington d. c this week and she had sort of, there's your meetings with top us officials and included secretary of state lincoln as well as president biden, just before his cobra. 1900 diagnosis was revealed, but she also went to speak before congress. and you know, similar to some of the addresses that we've seen, her husband give us congress. she also called for more aid from the united states. and for more was, here's what she said. yes, as personally, i'm asking for something. now i would never want to ask, i'm asking for weapons. now as her, those questions about accountability regarding the weapons that already have been sent or that stand to be sent to you praying that wasn't really in part of the conversation. you know, the united states still is acting as if this isn't a problem. me because because it's not happening to them. but the latest statements that we've heard from the u. s. have been to continue to say that they have received assurances from ukraine and that they are relying on those statements. the

u. s. very severely takes our accountability to guard american origin defense applied sciences and forestall their diversion or elicit proliferation. whereas shared within the ukranian authorities, dedication to appropriately safeguard and account for us weapons. so a pretty notable break there between the us and europe right now, and it remains to be seen how that will affect their alliance overall. well, arms control expert ted see believes weapons leaking out of ukraine is inevitable because of the rapid way they're flooding into the conflict. there's always diversion. there's always profit taking by someone somewhere. and where that happens and where there's black or even gray market weapons that are being traffic that happens in every situation where the weapons are being supplied into a theater of war. some of them are going to end up in criminal. hans, i worked in the political military bureau at the department of state for 2 years in the mid ninety's. i personally reviewed thousands of applications for export

licenses for arms and related technologies. and i can tell you that even at that stage, a lot of it was cursory on the part of the state department in the u. s. government . in general. beyond that, you're relying on something called end user assurances, which is basically what the us dividing ministration is talking about that the ukranian government is promising that nothing will happen to the weapons once they're providing to them. they are, they are assuring the donors that there will be no further movement of those weapons, which, frankly, they can't do. they don't have the where with all the track, all the stuff that's coming into their country right now. they're getting flooded with weapons and technology and ammunition and ammunition in particular, is notoriously difficult to keep track of an thing. on the theme, the russian defense ministry stays within the past 2 weeks. for advanced u. s. rocket launchers being used by key of forces were destroyed in the battle field. the m o. d also sees it forces destroyed

a school building and the city of trauma tours which reportedly being transformed into a temporary shelter for members of an extreme. this battalion called the black 100, the 300 militants, were said to have been killed in the light comes. she currently enforces continue to attack the done yet scanned lou ganske republics. they are reportedly using the u. s. supplied high mars rocket units to target talons in both regions. the city of the nance is also under a sole from neighboring div, kept more than a key of most fortified strong holes in dawn bus ortiz from a custom, he joined russian led forces on the ground and sent this report. today we're working near the town alpha of div tell which is, is still under control of ukrainian military. now we're here along with nascar international brigade who had been at the forefront of defense against that ukrainian or me here in done that. now i spoke to a few soldiers and here,

and they told me that it's not only ukraine, an army that they're fighting against as positions very close to here are full of foreign mercenaries as well written used to korea at the fog school. it's no secret, it's a fact that a lot of mercenaries are fighting for ukraine. both nato and the european union help them. it doesn't matter whether they do this openly or not. but yes, there is the george and legion which is located opposite us. there are also polls and americans. we came across them and everything has been filmed on video cameras . everything is recorded. they have very different uniforms. of course, they fight differently because they are instructors themselves. you know, we have been preparing for this for a very long time. and ukraine has been preparing for 8 years, and the nato instructors help him train them to supply them with weapons and teach them to use these weapons. ah,

ah ah, ah. international brigade, but not consist mostly of volunteers from what i understand it through hard to get into this particular unit. now they have been at the forefront in this conflict against ukraine over the last 8 years. and of course, they have shown this frank over the last 5 months, as well as they have been at the front here in a day of god and deterring the ukrainian army from entering this city. and they

have been shilling ukrainian positions from where they at sac peaceful civilians. here in the next, i've heard the group go, horner, this is the agony of hopelessness. like when an animal is cornered, it sometimes bites itself on the tail. why else are they shelling civilians? they probably hope the civilians will rebel and say stop this go and surrender. for 8 years the people endured this lawlessness and now all their agony is heavily concentrated. that's why they do this. you ukrainian army have been in have div guy and pesky near the nest for the last 8 years. so there are positions there have been really heavily fortified by the situation has changed drastically over the last 5 months. and the fighters of bit nascar international brigade are waiting for their chance to liberate those cities. roman costs are f r t done as people's republic all amid the ongoing blame game by the global food

crisis between the western russia, the most affected region, africa should do its best to save itself by itself. and controversially that a lot of problems are the continents own fault. so said they, you an economic commission for africa's trade director, our food market. so experience in a shock that is coming from outside the continent. but why we're experience in this shock is because we have very low inter african trades in the greek culture and grew foods if we had done better and, and loved the full potential of the cultural sector, who wouldn't be experience in what we're experiencing today. the un estimates 60000000 more people will not have enough to eat this year compared to 2021. the main causes are skyrocketing food on transportation prices due to the ongoing conflict in ukraine on western sanctions against russia. activist point, without immediate action to help the continent, the number may grow larger, potentially causing a humanitarian disaster. for africa. russia plays essential,

rolling global food security being the world's leader in we to exports, but has been accused by the west of using grain on other exports as a tool for expanding as geo political influence. the food crises in africa relies on affordable prices of russian goods on the current environment of back and forth sanctions of global food supply chain is at risk. earlier i spoke to dr. cooper, joseph from nigeria who thinks blaming african countries for the food crisis is hypocritical of the un. one of the developmental principles of prospect copy can countries told us prior to our sufficiency. and so this blame in african countries is no model is part of the part of the development part of that. and we believe as africans, if we developed

a we to develop, we must actually look inwards and be able to come to better boards that it will be necessary for the population. you know, the population in africa is grow when i'm financial grades. so no doubt this functions and the war, the sanctions are there in global energy prices. definitely the continent of africa relies for almost 40 percent on grand we and all that grants from russia. ok from africa to asia where a sri lanka is new president. his busy forming his government after taking over the top job earlier in the week. he's chosen veteran politician dentist guna where dina and new prime minister, despite attempts to bring stability to the crisis at nation, must protest continued inter friday morning.

the local security forces arrested several people and cleared the main camp. the protesters had occupied for more than 3 months. they had been demanding the citation countries. leaders reside over the economic chaos being witness. army police arrived and trucks and buses. shortly after midnight, removing 10 some protest owners. the armies also secured the presidential office in colombo, articulate respondents syringes, sharma, she is on the ground. therefore, in the dead of the nie tree, young could all me as well as the police force clamped down on several protesters. they've cleared the grounds off the presidential secretariat, which happened occupied by the poor test a full week. several people were injured last night including if you will, join lives. as far as we know, 8 people at least 8 people have been arrested. so far golfing is green, which essentially has been the face of these anti government protests has also been

cleared by the sri lankan army, as well as the police force. remembered when randal become a thing he got elected as the president all 3 long. he did say that he is harshly going to deal with the troublemakers, and this is his attempt to restore your order in the country. here we want to bring you this as well in a busy news a, the american association for human rights has slammed both moroccan and spanish authorities for last month's tragedy. in which over 2 dozen migrants died while attempting to storm a spanish enclave in north africa. this unprecedented encirclement which highlights the new inhumane practices and the role of gendarme reactivated with forest just after the normalization of moroccan spanish relations during the 5 days during which they tried to sleep. in this area, the migrants were once again attacked daily to prevent them from settling in this

camp, almost 6 kilometers away from lillia. at the same time, as the severely injured migrants piled on top of each other, were crying out for help and moaning in pain and agony. the public forces continued to violently dragged the arrested migrants before piling them on top of their compatriots without taking into account their health condition. in order to handcuff the migrants and put them down on their stomachs, some migrants were trampled while continued to receive unjustified blows from the public forces. the lethal incident, 4 weeks ago, led to the dance of 27 people with another 64 missing. many more were injured as police pushed by crowds using force. the debts drew global attention to the treatment of sub saharan and african library. and the president of the moroccan association for human rights believes immigration policies need a drastic rethink to avoid such deadly events happening again. we believe the main

cause of this tragedy is the result of the migration policies pursued by these countries. any attempt to avoid responsibility is only an attempt to hide the fact that these policies are the main cause of this tragedy. this catastrophe, this migration policy will be the cause of other tragedies if it is not stopped. the report will play or rather is already playing a key role in shaping public and international opinion about what happened on the day of the tragedy. using this report, we will also try to ensure that morocco stops playing the role of a gendarme for europe in spain, and that the migration policies pursued by morocco. the european union in spain change, and become more loyal to migrants and comply with international human rights agreements . a new bill paving away for puerto ricans, to vote for independence from the u. s. next year is currently navigating its way through congress on its choppy waters in washington, despite voting against the bill. hello, maker, hazel garcia, essays, it's sun,

the initial step towards the self determination of puerto rico. while today marks an important 1st step in the de colonization process of puerto rico. i could not in good faith support the passage of puerto rico status act in its current form. the colonization of puerto rico is a shameful part of our country's history. from the moment, the u. s. took control of the island to a century of limited citizenship. the imposition of pro mesa and our failures in disaster response. puerto rico's relationship with the u. s. is rooted in history of racism, exploitation, and oppression. the time is now for the process of d. colonization and self determination on the island. but depending on the u. s. doesn't end with the colonization. the puerto rico status comes amid mouth protests taking place in the car to be an island. public anger with spark by soaring energy prices with hundreds of people taking into the streets of to the mountain. the cancellation of the governments contract with us power grid operators luma. demonstrators claim, despite frequent power outages,

the electricity company has raise prices 7, telling just last year luma representatives of this response for the protesters. although we respect the right to protest, the reality is that some people prefer to play politics and ignore the fact that luma inherited an electrical system that suffered years. in fact, decades of abandonment, spokesman for the puerto rican action movement one lopez bows, essays, puerto rico's di colonization is a matter of urgency and could improve people's quality of life considerably. the thing is been put within societies, so colon, nice not to understand the way i've been calling you for 5216 years and it's been i will never be a free country in any way. we can still really know what, what would be free for you to know that we can history in the endless has been

demonize and bro, independence, people who have been put in prison because of the facial report for resort. it's in the urgent matter. recall in the united states of both ports. ready same with alex pier and the construction of the mayor of the productive ca roaming, can lead of course, to the creation of the over government in the states that can actually look and actually provide dance with a better while in a better life, in general than the one that we have now, ah, the u. s. has warned around against offering any kind of help to russia over it's offensive in ukraine. but come south washington itself is flooding the conflicts own with huge amounts of weapons, rti phillip up and picks up the story. the u. s. secretary of defense has decided to chime in about who he thinks russia should be cooperating with around the world may issue iranian support to,

to russia. we would advise aurora to not to not do that. we think it's a really, really bad idea. and then i'll leave that that well, iran and russia are getting closer together with more cooperation in the works. the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100 you eas, that iran is preparing to train russian forces to use the jew ivy's with initial training sessions slated to begin. as soon as early july. disney us have an indication that the training sessions have started for that iran is actually given is thrown into russia. we don't have any indications that the, that the sale has actually occurred. and so therefore, we wouldn't have any indications that there's been the training done on russia and iran have no problems or restrictions regarding military technical cooperation. iran is faced at decades of sanctions from the united states. after toppling at u.

s. backed dictator, it's 1979 revolution establishing the islamic republic. also, we've seen russia be faced with economic warfare from united states in recent years, with washington openly trying to strangle its economy. now it's not really working out though with the rubel still standing strong, but in such a context, why wouldn't iran in russia be cooperating more? so what if moscow into iran do expand their relationship? how will the united states respond more sanctions? it's also pretty rich for u. s. officials to be complaining about military cooperation. let's review the latest round of military hardware that the pentagon has dumped into ukraine. it is possible the u. s. could sell or provide ukraine with some us fighter platforms that you think that's, that's possible going forward that there's us, there's a griffin had a sweet and there's the euro fighter. there's a raphael surgeon, there's a number of different platforms that could,

could go to ukraine. united states has also committed to spending more high mars munitions, precision guided artillery, ammunition, and tactical vehicles, and other urgently needed support. in terms of our ability to track the weapons that are going in, as you know, we don't have any forces on the ground. so that's, that is difficult for us to do. a number of us made weapons have already turned up on the black market. pentagon officials admit they have quite a hard time tracking where these weapons they send to you. crane ultimately end up that has not stopped us. lawmakers from authorizing more weapons shipments as peace talks are stalling with washington, seemingly trying to stretch this conflict out until the last ukrainian. caleb martin, r t. new york. just another story to bring you saw america's mercosur trade block has rejected a request from the ukranian president to address an upcoming summit of the group

host nation park. why said agreement could not be reached between all members to allow lovers. lensky to speak is similar. mercosur has determined that there was no consensus for such communication. therefore, the ukrainian side has already been informed that under these circumstances there are no conditions for mere co sir to be able to talk to the ukrainian president. then mercosur, a common market is made up of argentina, brazil, euro. why on park? why the group represents the 5th largest economy in the world with a combined g d. p of around 2 trillion dollars. the main objectives of the blocker economic policy development on generating business on investment opportunities through market integration. while president lensky has addressed many national parliaments since the beginning of the conflict, including the european parliament, the world economic forum, the united nations, in an attempt to raise funding on support for ukraine. chief editor of weekly newspaper opera,

monday through elfman believes mercosur turned on. mister zalinski request to address the summit because of economic interest. it's not yet clear which countries were against zalinski, his speech at demarcus who am missing. but it's none that both as in tina and brazil have important deals with russia as trying to maintain an independence. it stands in the you trend in conflict. i think that the reasons for an event or opposition to o crenan presidents, but sebastian would be link it to does economic interest that the main param, math about a matter for adopting these old bet policy in relation to the training conflict has to do with the relations with the relationship that each moment has in the real

that it won't work in the region has with the white house. the closer at government is to washington, the more likely it's to take a stance against most cole and in favor of give, i believe the practical effect is very lito or known at toll demand function of does is it is to generate new facts that feed the western press allots her lot for now, but just to remind her more stories by the minute discharge on our twitter page to give us a follow you won't be bored. this is art international. ah ah .
