awards more, i'm a 2 phenomenon. anybody with headlines this is out today, russia and ukraine feel a deal to resolve the longstanding green issue, opening up like the old for you, premium green exports of the slides, the west repeated allocations of moscow weapon izing food on fueling the global hunger crisis. terrorists on criminal groups may use western weapons supply to ukraine, according to the ball on europe. all the organizations bring the alarm of the out on going in close of weapons in the country with one another is not over there in the rules,

and this entire field is todd with don't boss republics deal with the aftermath of the withdrawal of forces replenishing, most talk span dealing with minds hidden in greenfield. a thank you for joining us. is 7 o one this saturday morning. my name is peter scott to bring you all the latest news here on our see from our headquarters in the russian capital, russia and ukraine harvey separately signed a deal honest, bitching a car door for ukrainian grey next. supposed to leave black c port. the agreement that was broken earlier by turkish and un mediators in the stumble, with the signing being seen as a critical step in averting a weld food crisis. 3 ports in the black sea will be unblocked under the agreements . now ukraine will not be. mine is sports,

but it will provide ships with safe passage for the exports of agricultural goods. the deal will also see russia, turkey and ukraine operate a coordination center. should any incidents occur during those shipments? cargo ships heading to ukraine will undergo checks for weapons, which is something 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 of the year and expects full scale movements of grain ships to begin in the next 2 weeks. according to organizations, estimates the deal will allow the monthly exports of up to 5000000 tons of grain from ukraine and un sexy general antonio. good cherish praise the deal. 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. or between the 2 countries, russia and ukraine, they supply about 25 percent a quarter of all the wheat 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 as in created, created based severe difficulties for many, many net food in 14 countries. i think this, this moved to sign this agreement binding both parties to allowing the, the movement of these critical products. i think this is a good day. i understand that we prizes glibly have fallen, and this is a very, very welcome development known as separate memorandums, signed on friday, moscow and the un agreed to ensure that russian agricultural products on fertilizers which world markets without restriction. and this comes as

a west continues to play moscow for deliberately blocking ukrainian ports on provoking a few crisis by using grain as a weapon, as something that russia has repeatedly denied the ocean. foreign minister said the memorandum proves that such allegations are groundless. grodner still, 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. the grain deal comes as the west calls for even more sanctions against moscow over the ukraine crisis. economists to eddie cross again believes that impacts on russian food exports will greatly affect other countries across the world. fresh surprise you drove in the whole industry globally and any direction or any sanctions. breakage in terms of the availability of those

products to global markets would have profound and long term significant. when you have a contract between these 2 states which disrupts global markets, it has profound implications for the whole world. and i don't think that was fully appreciated at the beginning of this whole if a said, but i'm glad that sanity has prevailed and that we and at least the west is not opposing these 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 of the world. stuck in the middle of a blame game over the global few crisis between russia and the west. most affected region, africa should do its best to save itself as most problems are of the constants own making. well, that's according to a statement by the trade direct view and economic mission for africa. 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 intra african trades in the greek culture and grew foods if we had done better and loved the full potential of the cultural sector who'd be experience in what we're experiencing today of the year and estimates that 60000000 more people will experience hunger this year compared to 2021. and while the west place is the blame squarely on russia's involvement in ukraine, 3 years of view and records show a growing trend in the african few crisis. i tourists points out that without immediate aid number may grow, potentially causing a humanitarian disaster in africa. earlier, we spoke to dr. your cooper, joseph from nigeria, who defended the representative statement, claiming that africa developments relies on increasing self sufficiency. one of the development principles, so prospect copy can countries told us prior to our patients. and so

this blame in african countries is norma is part of the paradigm part of the development part of that. and we believe as africans, if we develop a we to develop, we must actually look inwards and be able to come to bed. that will be necessary for this change in population. your population in africa is grow. when i'm explanation grades, so no doubt the sanctions and the war, the spanish shows up there in global energy prizes. definitely the continent of africa relies almost 40 percent on grains. we and i'll, that grants from russia and your credit weapons flowing into ukraine could end up in the hands of criminal gangs. now that is according to the

european union agency for law enforcement corporation, which also said that the networks are right in the region. a may attempt to smoke alarms 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 agents, the 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 fall silent in ukraine,

the illegal weapons will come. we know this from many other theaters of conflict. criminal groups tried 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 a binding ministration is admitted in the past that it can't do much in order to attract those weapons. once their son overseas on this comes hot 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 right ukraine 1st lady visited washington d. c this week and she had sort of visual 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 the u. s. congress. she also called for more aid from the united states. and for more was, here's what she said, is it as pushes i'm asking for something, and 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 crane. that wasn't really a part of the conversation. you know, the united states still is acting as if this isn't a problem. may 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 us very severely takes our accountability to guard american origin defense applied sciences and forestall their diversion or elicit proliferation where is shared within the ukranian authorities, dedication to appropriately safeguard and account for us weapons. so

a pretty notable break there between the u. s. in europe right now, and it remains to be seen how that will affect their alliance overall. however, after the announcements of a possible threats, your poll appeared to by truck slightly saying they are full confidence in ukrainian officials as they tried to track the flow of weapons. earlier we spoke with an arms control experts had ca, who on the contrary. so that is practically impossible to control such a huge alms in flux. 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, 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 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 russian defense ministry says that over the last fortnight, version lead, troops have destroyed for american slide, high miles, multiple rocket launcher systems. and that is something that ukraine has rejected as a fake. while the phone line is being pushed west in the territories under the control of russian led forces, even discovery was left after the ukrainian troops withdrawal not include stalks of

heavy weaponry, imported from western states, as well as mines in greenfields ortiz, mariah garcia reports on a quick warning to view as some of the following images 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 cbrtc the solider, and from there to bar moot. and all along, ha tillery batteries, jewel day and night. ukrainian forces have dug tens of kilometers of trenches, spanning this defensive line to dull rushes edge in artillery. but they wholly 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 impact creates an enormous pressure blast wave that no trenches can protect against. and these have being used

in greater and greater numbers to 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 now is a forward position near the village of step of cat, 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 true 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 heath 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 shave, escobar moved 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 wide, and some of them were so close together that there could be a chain reaction. but cows are 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 apart tanks, leave little of livestock clearing these alone. the mines planted already will take decades. but as the front lines shift, many, many more mines will be planted in fields, forests, and along new defensive lines. ukraine, after all, still has millions left. or i guess the of r t for the de niro, 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. it's raises important o m, and we've seen in this, in this conflict commercial spaces, provided. good news that have been helpful to, to ukraine as well. and i've been a number of publications in major media are less showing that commercial satellite systems have been used for military purposes in ukraine. and one of them is elan mosques, styling which has given a critical communications lifeline to ukrainian forces. now that's according to the air force magazine. styling can fly up to 130 miles or around 210 kilometers over a war zone to beam down high speed internet access. and because it's in a low earth orbit, it can receive and transmit information faster than traditional communications satellites. and this allows frontline, the ukranian troops to communicate with the chain of command, the stretches for hundreds of kilometers. while earlier i'd thought to form a u. s. marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter,

who believes that humanitarian and military comes should be kept separate. if you want to use a certain communications capability of free to mandatory and 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 it for military use. all of those systems can be deemed to be military in nature. we make it very clear what humanitarian law says. there can be no connectivity between the 2, none whatsoever. it 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 it's detected. the news for lancaster

new president, is busy forming his government after taking of the top drop on wednesday. he chosen a veteran of politicians, danish going of dana as the new prime minister. but despite the attempts to bring stability to the crisis, hit nation mass post has continued into friday morning. the local security forces arrested several people including the main camp. the protesters had occupied for more than 3 months. they had been demanding the south asian countries leaders resign over the economic chaos being witness. army and police arrived in trucks and buses shortly after midnight moving sense and protest spun as the armies also secured the presidential office in colombo. last, the correspondent runjun sharma is on the ground in the dead of the nie tree. lunk and all me as well as the police force clamped down on several protesters. they've

cleared the grounds on the presidential secretariat, which happened occupied by the poor test for weeks. several people were injured last night, including if you will. john lives. as far as we know, 8 people at least if 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 went around to become a thing you got elected as the president or 3 lanka 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. the u. s. congress speaker nancy pelosi reportedly warned the countries secretary of state anthony blink, and that he won't label russia a state sponsor of terrorism. then congress will that's according to politico the kremlin, gave an immediate response. tupelo, expressing concern over his statements. 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. it's called this after nancy pelosi accused russia and it's presidents of being responsible for price hikes and willed wide inflation. u. s. has marked 4 countries as state sponsors of terrorism since 984. and if this decision is made, this will put russia in a list with the likes of iran, north korea, cuba on syria. the state is severely limits, us relations with the country and subjects it to various functions. we discussed the latest in us russian relations with august. you have nancy pelosi, who's done an abysmal job of handling domestic policy in the united states. now, why is different toes in 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, the military and ukraine killing civilians attacking civilian areas that were russian leaning in the eastern ukraine. she was declaring 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. actually, 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 looks strong in the, in 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 undo that would take some political as an in the future. but right now, washington, the white house of the congress, politically, the democrats in congress don't care about anything other than looking good for the midterm elections in november. this year and finally, a new bill paving the way for puerto ricans to vote for independence from the us. next year is currently navigating its way through congress in washington. or despite voting against the bel law, make cases. garcia says it's an initial steps with the self determination of puerto rico. while today marks an important 1st step in the d 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 a history of racism, exploitation, and oppression. the time is now for the process of d. colonization and self determination on the island. votes dependence on the u. s . doesn't end with di colonization. the puerto rico state is outs comes amid mass protests taking place across the caribbean island, where the ganga was fired by soaring energy prices with hundreds of people taking to the streets of san juan. and among the cancellation of the government contracts with us, how good operates at luma. demonstrates claim that despite frequent power outages, the electricity company has raised prices 7 times since june, just last year. when the representatives had 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 loom, or inherited an electrical system that suffered years. in fact,

decades of abandonment or spokesman for the puerto rican action movement. one lopez barza says puerto rico's de colonization is a matter of urgency and could improve people's quality of life. the thing is, the put a weakness, societies, so colon, nice not to understand the we have 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 and if we have for you know, the input, we can history independence has been demonize and brain, gro independence people will have been put in prison because of the session for 430 . so it's in the urgent matter. recall in the united states of both ports are the same with fear and the construction of the, of the productive roaming can lead, of course, to the creation of the over government in the states that can actually look and

actually provide weekends with a better while in a better life in general than the one that we have now. those the main stories this our head over to our t dot com or our telegram channel for more news and video content needs to be just got on the back again to the top of the me i ah ah ah,

a lot of people with a go on up with a question here with me today, i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions foreign companies, quitting russia numbers. i'm a licensed atm card,

blantan banks disconnected from the international payment system, the social puppy, juvenile dollar, and euro exchange rates. follow up on that level up article, go more for stock. more than what i bought. the committee met that he woke up the bill from that is the current. can you say i don't see a material with a promise volume in russian business overcome this song? see near i bought in nancy to huddle. she's tremendously just me. don't pros voice, bullshit. national productive, not just 0 dash a miracle. what i see on cell when you come, when you with, before you got any, a cost to get a group. when you, when you, when we talk new person who is a school. so a delusion will go a little bit loosened with

us. i started a long period, but almost a year for is terrible only with the on the blood deadline but a lot more. but like i'm on that thing with dental, but the head nozzles in point of this on the floor and i would, i think it was, but i had i left that was also a new seal. it also supporting your community by your lease was finished due by the idea behind the money. but you might not remember what the thing i need a cd was a study. and what i see when i did not get
