ah, a with headlines this start today, russia and ukraine feel a deal to resolve the long standing grain issue, opening up like the port or ukrainian grain export. despite the west repeated allegations of moscow weapon izing food and fueling the global hunger crisis with terrorist and criminal groups, may use western weapons applied to ukraine into coal and europe or report. the organizations bring the alarm of the ongoing impulse of weapons in the country. as well as another over there in

rows. then this entire field is talked with dumbass republics to deal with the aftermath of the withdrawal of kias forces replenishing on those stocks. and dealing with mines in great deals with just on 6 am on saturday morning in moscow. i'm peters scott and wherever you joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis or nazi russia and ukraine have separately assigned a deal honest bushing a car door for ukrainian grain exports to leave black c ports. it was broken earlier by turkish and you and mediators in a stumble, with assigning, being seen as a landmark step in averting a potential world food crisis. 3 poles in the black seat will be unblocked under the agreements. ukraine will not,

the mine is false. both will provide ships with safe passage for the exports of agricultural goods. the deal will also see russia, turkey and ukraine operates a joint coordination center should any incidents occur during those shipments? cargo ships heading to ukraine will undergo checks for weapons, which is something that the russian defense minister has stressed is vital last history. so it's 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. un expects full scale movement of grain ships to begin in the next 2 weeks. according to the organization's estimates, the deal will allow the monthly export of up to 5000000 tons of grain from ukraine . u. n. a sexy general antonio quoterush praise the deal. today 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 matters most for the people of all world. between the 2 countries, russia and ukraine, they supply about 25 percent a quarter of all the reach that's consumed in the world. and so they difficulties we've had in the past 45 months. while the conflict in that part of the world has been raging. m hasn't created, created very severe difficulties for many, many net food importing countries. i think this, this moved to sign this agreement binding both parties to allowing lead the movement of these critical products. i think this is a good day. i understand that we prices globally have fallen, and this is a very, very welcome development. and a separate memorandum signed on friday. moscow the you and agreed to insure this russian agricultural products on fertilizers reach world markets without

restriction. this comes as the west continues to blame moscow for deliberately blocking ukrainian ports and provoking a few crises by using grain as a weapon, which is something that russia has repeatedly denied. the ocean for ministry said that the memorandum proves that such allegations are groundless. i could have no store, 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 un has once again underlined the absolutely artificial nature of the west attempts to put the blame for problems where green supplies to the world markets on russia. great deal comes as the west calls for even more sanctions against moscow. over the ukraine crisis. economist eddie cross again believes the impacts on russian food exports will greatly affect other countries across the world. fresh surprise you drove in the whole industry globally. and any disruption or any sanctions, breakage in terms of the availability of those products to the global markets would

have profound and long term significance. when you have a contract between these 2 states which disrupt global markets, it has profound implications for the whole world. and i didn't think that was fully appreciated at the beginning of this whole if a said, but i'm glad to sanity has prevailed. and that we, and at least the whist is not opposing very substantial developments. because i think if they had continued to insist on this blanket sanctions program against the russians, it would have had very profound implications for the rest. the world stuck in the middle of the blame game over the global food crisis between russia and the west. the most affected region, africa should do its best to save itself, as most problems are of the confidence own making. now that's according to a statement by the trade director of the u. n. economic commission for africa. our

food market. so experience in the shock that is coming from outside the continent, but why we're experience in this shock is because we have very low inter african trade in the grid culture and the growth foods. if we had done better and loved the full potential of the cultural sector, who wouldn't be experience in what we're experiencing today, un estimates that 60000000 more people will experience hunger this year compared to 2021. and while the west places the blame squarely on russia's involvement and ukraine for years of your records show a growing trend in the african few crisis. i tourists points out that without immediate aid, the number may grow, potentially causing a humanitarian disaster in africa. area we spoke to dr. your cooper, joseph from nigeria, who defended you and representative statements claimant. it's africa. developments relies on increasing self sufficiency. one of the developmental principles of africa, current countries to us prior to achieve food sufficiency. and so this blame in

the, you know, african countries as normal is part of the part of the development. part of that we believe us, because if we develop or we have to develop, we must actually look in words and be able to come to food that will be necessary for the treatment population. you know, the population in africa is growing up. i mean explanation grades so no doubt of the sanctions and the war. the sanctions are plain parts, the african global food and energy prices. definitely the continent of africa relies for almost 40 percent on grains. we are all the grains from russia and ukraine. weapons flowing in to 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 that such networks are active in the region. i 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 weapons are actively being smuggled from ukraine into europe and being sold on the block market. now this latest report from the agent see 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 in 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 u. s. and its allies have started that steady stream of weapons to ukraine, and especially as the binding ministration is admitted in the past, that it can't do much in order to attract those weapons once their son overseas. this comes hard on the heels of the life of the ukrainian president, making a rare trip to the u. s. that's weapons related to, isn't it that to write ukraine's 1st lady visited washington d. c this week and she had sort of visual meetings were taught 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 the u. s. congress. she also called for more aid from the united states and for more was, and here's what she said, is that a person 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 ukrainian 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. i've asked of the announcements of a possible threats. europe poll appeared to bar truck saying they have full confidence in ukrainian officials as they tried to track the flow of weapons. when earlier we spoke with an arms control, experts had ca, who on the contrary says that it's practically impossible to control such a huge arms influx. 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 war. some of them are going to end up in criminal hands. i worked in the political military bureau at the department of state for 2 years in the mid ninety's. i personally have 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, the vitamin 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 jack knology and ammunition in ammunition in particular, is notoriously difficult to keep track of. the russian defense ministry says that over the past, fortnight's russian lead troops have destroyed for americans supplied high mas, multiple rocket launch a systems. but that's something that ukraine hazard dated are fake, but while the front line is being pushed west in the territories under the control of russian lead forces, people are discovering what's left up to the ukrainian troops withdrawal. this

includes stocks of heavy weaponry imported from western states as well as mines in greenfields ortiz, rod goes the reports and a quick warning to view. as some images in the reports are distressing. give, has thrown tens of thousands of troops into the fray to hold what it still controls . a defensive line now, stretches from the town of savior, asked the solider, and from their tobacco. smoot and all along, ha tillery batteries, july day and night. ukrainian forces have dug tens of kilometers of trenches, spanning this defensive line to dull rushes edge in artillery. but they only protect from conventional fire. the t o s one nicknamed salts at milk or son blaze and russian is a form of barrick rockets artillery system. each impacts creates an enormous pressure blast wave that new trenches can protect against,

and these are being used in greater and greater numbers. the decimate ukrainian lines and morale here in the vicinity of the town of solider. the defensive line, east, bending russian forces along with allied units have been able to push enemy troops out of several settlements and strongholds within the past week. the bodies of ukrainian soldiers and nationalists fighters lit the countryside. their positions overrun. we're now is a forward position near the village of step of the one of the conditions ah, with which we were permitted here is that we can't tie this place to any specific area. so amongst our viewers, ha, ukrainian intelligence offices and they are eager to spot where to strike. and the less here in these trenches,

we found yet more native troy trophy weaponry. now, in the service of the new guns people's republic, these are $284.00 millimeter grenade launchers, rocket propelled grenade launchers. one of them is a heap round or a high explosive anti tank missiles. and these, again was scattered all over the area. ukrainian troops have also planted thousands upon thousands of mines, including band anti personnel, munitions along the defensive line from shiv. escobar moot in order to stall the russian and allied advance fields of wheat and sun flowers turned into death traps at one anti tank mon, there's another not over there therein rose and this entire field is packed with them. and this is relatively dangerous. that cow is heavy enough to

set off an anti tag, but and some of them are so close together that there could be a chain reaction. but cows off one of the casualties here regularly. the troops here say they hear the bus when these, these cows that have been abandoned, explode minds designed to tear part tanks, leave little of livestock clearing these alone. the mines plotted already will take decades. but as the front lines shift, many, many more mines will be planted in fields for us in the long new defensive lines. ukraine, after all, still has millions left. or i'd gas v of r t for la didn't yet people to republic u. s. chief of space operations has confirmed that ukrainian troops have been

provided with certain capabilities coming from the us itself. spaces of him and we've seen them in this, in this conflict, the commercial spaces provided a been helpful to, to ukraine as well. now there have been a number of publications in major media outlets showing this satellite systems have been used for military purposes in ukraine. one of them is elan mosques. a satellite system stalling, which has given a critical communications lifeline, ukrainian forces that's according to the air force magazine. now starting can fly up to 130 miles or 2 engine 10 kilometers over a war zone to beam down high speed internet access. this allows the frontline ukrainian troops to communicate with the chain of command the stretches. hundreds of kilometers installing relies on satellites that are in a low earth orbit, which means they are able to receive and transmit information faster than traditional communications satellites. earlier i thought for

a former us marine corps intelligence officer, got better, and he's sure there can be no connectivity between humanitarian and military communications capabilities. if you want to use a certain communications capability for humanitarian purposes, it needs to be totally dedicated to that purpose. the moment there's crossover with the same system that you're applying for humanitarian use, you now are using for military use. all of those systems can be deemed to be military in nature. we make it very clear what mandatory and law says. there can be no connectivity between the 2, none whatsoever. what the law must is doing. and ukraine is absolutely unacceptable, and actually push legitimate humanitarian workers lives at risk. because if you're operating one of those terminals, you are now a legitimate military target. and if i was a russian, i would view every single one of you on most terminals in ukraine as

a hostile target, worthy of being destroyed as soon as its detected. i am moving on now for line tis new presidents is busy for me as governments, after taking over the top job on wednesday. and it shows a veteran and politician to nash going to will dana as the new prime minister. and despite attempts to bring stability to the crisis, hit nation, not both has continued into friday morning. ah, social security forces arrested several people and cleared the main come the protesters had occupied for more than 3 months. they had been demanding the south asian countries leaders resign over the economic chaos being witnessed. army and police trucks arrived on buses shortly after midnight, removing tense, processed upon as the armies also secured the presidential office in colombo. the correspondent region sharma is on the ground in the dead of the nie tree,

lanchen army as well as police force clamped down on several protesters. they've cleared the grounds off the presidential secretariat, which happened occupied by the protesters for weeks. several people got injured last night including the fuel, john liz: as far as we know, 8 people at least 8 people have been arrested so far. golf 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. remember when ronald become a single got elected as the president, austria lanka. he did see that he is harshly going to deal with the trouble makers, and this is his attempt to restore law and order in the country. u. s. congress speaker, nancy pelosi, reportedly warned the country secretary of state on st. lincoln. that if he won't label russia a state sponsored terrorism, then congress will not,

according to politico. now, the criminal gave an immediate response, tupelo, c, expressing concern over her statement. we hold a very negative assessment regarding the consequences of such a step. although, on the other hand, hardly anything else can be done to further spoil relations between russia and the united states. this comes after nancy pelosi accused russia and this president of being responsible for price hikes and willed wide inflation. the u. s. is marked for countries as state sponsors of terrorism since 984. and if this decision is made, then it will post russia in the list with iran, north korea, cuba and syria. the states is severely limits, us relations with the country and subjects it to various sanctions. we discuss the latest in the us, russian relations without guest. you have nancy pelosi, who's done an abysmal job of handling domestic policy in the united states. now, where you differ toes and trying to direct foreign policy, and i think it would have the same sort of disastrous results that we've seen here

in the united states. i'm really concerned about the provocations that she is promoting in declaring russia a terrorist state. she wasn't pushing the same thing when the ukranian administration long declared what the most corrupt administration in the entire world. she wasn't concerned when they and their militia advocates were attacking folks in eastern ukraine. the militias, the, the military and ukraine killing civilians attacking civilian areas that work russian leaning an easter ukraine. she was declaring the ukrainian administration a terrorist administration at that time, but now is trying to, i think, play political games on an international scale that will not be good for the united states, nor for anybody. virtually all, u. s. foreign policy is about us domestic politics. and this is an election year, a very, very crucial election year in, in the u. s. and that he believes he is saying things for a domestic audience, knowing that it will make and the administration look strong in the, and the,

in relation to the russia. ukraine complex us has a habit of instituting foreign policy positions on the basis of domestic political pressures. and that's what's happening now. and of course, to do that that would take some political entity in the future. but right now, washington, the white house of the congress, particularly the democrats in congress. don't care about anything other than looking good for the midterm elections in november this year. plus it for now, for mall on any of those stories. do you head over to our website r t dot com all telegram channel? i'd be to start somebody back with another rundown at the top of the allen in blue. ah, ah

play out spectacularly in the military. so the connections would be much further down the road. it would be particularly in the iraq war and in the setting up of get mo and all of that. and by the time you get to 2001, it's already this cultural artifact. and so it is going to be picked up by by anyone for any purpose. mm. mm. or with kind of people hell, be for carnival. are not there because they stole cover. they are not common criminals in their enemy, combatants and terrorists who are
