ah, with russia confirms a missile strike on the military targets in the ports of odessa. that follows up barrage of accusations by the westbound ukraine. got moscow has already reached the new grain export deal. that's the spike. p of itself admitting wheat, stores were not with egypt, has the right to engage with any country at once, and won't be pressured into choosing its allies. so saying that countries foreign minister, after talks with his russian counterpart who's in cairo on the 1st of his 4 country, africa tooth with that also in the stories that shape the weak russia rollin nato member. tricky old talks to discuss. conflict resolution in syria. quick calls for

the u. s. to withdraw its troops from the country with the top stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly rti hello and welcome russia say's a ukrainian warship. an empty ship, miss styles were destroyed in saturday. strike on the port of odessa footage shows black sun smoke rising into the air as well as fire fighters. this scene, according to ukrainian officials for a missiles were fired up the port with 2 of them brought on by missile defenses, confirming the strike, the russian defense ministry said only military targets were well hours of death is one of 3 ports through which grain will be exported from ukraine under a recent d, a brokered by turkey in the you in western media and politicians,

including the u. s. secretary of state were quick to blame moscow for violating the agreement. the ukrainian president did the same, however key and then admitted grain stockpiles weren't hit out. all fitting. minor damage was dawn to port infrastructure but even before the missile strike western politicians express skepticism over the deal, pointing the finger of diet squarely at russia. ortiz rachel blevins. can tell us more about them. the landmark grain deal involving russia and ukraine is being called a beacon of hope by the united nations. but how likely is it to be implemented? representatives from the u. n and turkey oversaw the signing of the deal that would lead to grain exports resuming at $34.00. it's on the black sea coast. while the west has a huge russia being responsible for the global food crisis mosque out denied the claim and accused ukraine of mining, the area off the coast disrupting the supply chain. while the agreement did not

actually include a provision to d, mind the area, it did included directive that ukraine will be the one to escort the ship through the minefield. as they may know the best route. this was presented to address moscow safety concerns for the ships to go to turkey and beyond. the hope is that the deal would provide some relief for the global food supply chains. as prices have skyrocketed, russia, foreign minister said moscow would do its part to implement the agreement and encourage the other parties to do the same. however, a senior advisor to be ukranian president downplayed the achievement, he insisted it should be viewed only as agreements that russia and ukraine made separately with turkey in the when it didn't take long for more criticism to come. as the vitamin ministration expressed, its dallas, and claim the success of the deal is entirely up to russia as if ukraine has no responsibility in the matter. we think it's important to note though that success,

of course, is gonna depend on russia's compliance arrangement and actually implementing it of course, ending blockade. of course, canada is now training in as prime minister justin trudeau alleged their rushes to blame for the current food crisis, insisting it's the west who is quote, working very, very hard to try and mitigate the ongoing issues. however, it was leaders from turkey in the united nations who heard the latest deal. so western governments including canada and the u. s. should probably stick to both saying about the massive security assistance they are sending to ukraine. in fact, the by an administration just signed off on it, 16, the weapons package to key yet this one includes additional hi mars rocket systems for a package that comes with a price tag, a 270 $1000000.00. this includes president biden's announcement of

a presidential drop down of security assistance valued at up to $175000000.00, as well as $95000000.00 in ukraine security assistance initiative. funds. the united states has now committed approximately $8200000000.00 in security assistance to ukraine since the beginning of the bite and administration. so where does that leave the state of the great deal that was just made as key at downplays? the agreement and washington continues to support the conflict group weapons instead of talks. does the breakthrough have a chance for success? we then think about it is appropriate to expect the lesson that they should to be solely responsible for the implementation of the sacrament. because people have always displayed that the play ties human lives and them coming to the party and coming to the meeting who is displayed that they palletized and they are part of human life. what is causing the crisis, the food crisis in the well,

it is the decisions that have been taken by the west to sanction the russian government. these people on the other 5 dep paternity to kay about the poor to care about those who do not have food. but on the other side, they are due to fire and by sending and by continuing to send me the total weapons to create it is not a signal that these are people who see and we really want to say to the russian people that we appreciate that just could we by coming to the table and willing to be packed to, to do so. i couldn't no sanctions against moscow in sectors like insurance and banking that effect russian grain exports may be reconsidered by the west to request from the un secretary general. that is what russia's foreign minister has stated, following talks with his egyptian counterpart as he begins a diplomatic tour of african circle of rough,

added that the west should eliminate the obstacles they've created themselves. whoops. and when it comes to the russian grain issue, do you and secretary general has committed to lifting the unlawful restrictions on logistics and financial chains which have been imposed by the u. s. and the e. you will take a look at how he will uphold this commitment. it now depends on him. we personally and not asking for the lifting of sanctions. anyway, it's a different issue which deserves special attention. from now on we will be developing our economy, am relying on credible partners, not those who showed that total incapacity to hold negotiations, getting back to the food issue. if our western colleagues are taking the unfolding situation very much to heart, they have to eliminate the obstacles that they've created themselves. i mean, the sanctions which were immediately put on brushes, insurance, and banking sectors. russia's top diplomat is in cairo on the 1st stop of his

for country african trip after egypt, he travels to ethiopia, uganda, the democratic republic of congo ortiz maria for national, accompanying sir gala ralph throat, his tour and spoke to the program from the egyptian capital earlier here in cairo is where the russian foreign minister is african too, or begins ahead of his visit to the continent. mister la grove said in an interview to local media that russia has always been advocating for strengthening africa's position in more than multi polar world. and we'll try to do its best to help make its voice heard for that exact purpose, a huge event. the 2nd russia, africa summit is planned for the next year, and the 2 ministers said that the preparations are now in full swing. but not everybody seems to be happy with russia's activity on the african continent. we heard several concerns from a number all us senators and one american general also recently said that ad, russia's moves in africa are problematic for us interests in the region. plus

10 number of western diplomats sent a petition ahead of labyrinth visit here to egypt to the egyptian government and arab league, who's had this to lobby. also me here in cairo, asking not to deal with russia though, but it didn't matter if i had a chance to ask this question to both ministers and here is what mr. shook re answered, saying that it's up to egypt to decide who to cooperate way then how are we have good relations with russia with you and we guide oh, we're relations with these are countries and organizations to advance our interests in all countries. so africa have sovereignty, and they are free to choose their own policies, including foreign policy in the interests of their people. their priority is also stability and security, africa menace elaborate also answered my question in a similar way,

criticizing the u. s. pressure. i cannot coleman's on situations or episodes when certain individuals, sir, expressed their concerns that one sovereign states dares to talk to another sovereign states. especially when both states have a long history of solidarity of corporation. the decision by western ambassadors, move french, german, and others are to refuse, participating or refuse their to participate in the upcoming events. they called on everyone to stop signing documents were the russia and they even sad that sir. other world leaders must not take photos with russians and russian diplomats. this is a very strange reaction from them, but

a foreign minister is also discussed bilateral relations between moscow in cairo, egypt has a long term strategic and economic partner for russia and both mr. lab robin, mr. shook re said today that the 2 countries agreed to expand and dipping cooperation between the 2 states, maria phenomena, and just staying on the story. middle east studies expert, doctor said so big sees russia comes to the african continent, essentially baggage free. that has no colonial footprint. america had, was drawn from the middle east and had ignored africa. holes. china was russia were active in both the east and africa. and the american at one point will not heavy chinese and dawson build again. but that was just silent criticism. and now after the eclipse glasses, all of the americans began to discover that he can not leave those areas. and that's why you had those statements regarding africa and the middle east from the

american officials, not one of the, the one, the chinese. they want to be back. second, a lot of stuff because it has no history in africa. countries it had not occupied the middle east. it okay. i got it knocked village the african so it had a clean plate when they come to africa. so this is very possible that they can manage when the next summer in absence. yeah. a lot of talking happening this week . sure. again, love robes visit came right on the heels of another high profile meeting in the region from russian president vladimir putin. hel talks with his a really and turkish counterparts into a room that's part of the us, the nor troika piece process for resolving the serial complex. the

ah, the trio focused on measures to solve the syrian war now into it's 2nd decade. their topics on the table included the escalating energy crisis in europe, the exports of ukrainian grain. iran supreme leader also took some time during the meetings to offer his opinion on nato. war is a violent and difficult issue, and the islamic republic is in no way happy that civilians get caught up in it. but concerning ukraine had russia not taken the initiative, the other side would have taken the initiative and cause the war. nato is a dangerous entity. the west is totally opposed to a strong, independent russia. if the way is open for nato, it will recognise no limits. if it hadn't been stopped in ukraine, it would have later started a similar war in crimea. another news line from the summit,

all 3 nations. there are russia around and nato member. turkey called them the us to withdraw its troops from syria. our t correspondent, alisha trego takes us through that on the other big issues discuss the constant blame game that has to do with the russian gas exports has been going on for months and months. evo: additions, keep saying that the gas prices are going through the roof because of what vladimir putin is up do, because of how the russian government is pulling the strings. but here and the capital of iran to have on latimer poot and try to silence the critics with what he called, facts from a to z. there are several routes that enable the flow of russian gas to europe and according to the russian leader. if you look at most of these routes in each case, you will find how the european politicians are shooting themselves in the foot recruited, which is gas prone have to do with this. the close one pipeline for scheduled maintenance. the other pipeline was closed because of sanctions gas promise ready

to pump as much gas as is necessary. it's the west that is imposing these obstacles . they're doing the same thing with oil and petroleum products. gas problem has always fulfilled and will continue to fulfill all of its obligations. it's our partners who are trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes on together from without any justification was covered ukraine and the energy crisis. the syrian conflict has taken somewhat of a back seat. leaders of the 3 countries reminded that 4 years ago, russia in iran and turkey, created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting the different side still, and different political goals, the 3 leaders are on the same page when it comes to one very important aspect. and that is foreign actors in syria, russia, iran, and turkey. despite our divergent views on what is happening on the euphrates,

have a shared position that the u. s. must stop stealing from the syrian people. they must stop taking oil from there, and they must withdraw from the country. we believe that in order to achieve long term stability, their control over the entire territory must be transferred to the official government in damascus under the control of the armed forces of the syrian arab republic. what we've seen in the arabian capital is that the level of trust between teran moscow in ankara only keeps growing. the next summit will take place in russia. adjusting with the story we heard from political communications professor at the university of tehran food, a zombie who said that cooperation between russia under run will only increase both russia and major oil and gas producers. their neighbors, they have had history on the relation president was in russia just

before they thought that the conflict ukraine resisting less than the loan of both country. and i think the leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and governments including, and especially the united states, is going to question. so it makes sense for neighbors to be increased cooperation. and you know, you don't, and russia signed the $40000000000.00 oil and gas corporation agreement today. and that was discussed in the meetings in around the level of cooperation is going to increase. and it's going to be linden situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people, the countries in exclusive interview, given to ortiz, editor in chief earlier this week, rushes foreign minister underline. but moscow is not worried about the use desire

to sever itself from russia's energy supplies. serial over off also spoke about the potential for peace talks with ukraine need little so that we now understand that ukraine wont be able to put their demands into adequate woods, worthy of serious attention of serious people. ukraine is literally being restrained from taking constructive steps. the country is being forced to use foreign weapons in a more risky way and foreign specialists actually occupying jobs than maintaining those weapons systems, like high mas, well, this is not really a secret american and british counterparts with active support from germans, the poles and the baltic states really wants to turn this war into a real one and to direct a confrontation between russia and european states is advantageous for the u. s. and the u. k. sitting far away beyond the ocean, it is the european market that suffers most. i have no illusions, and i believe ukraine won't be allowed to conduct negotiations unless washington

decides it's made enough trouble and chaos and decides now it's time for ukraine to act on its own. while washington watches from the side should have no one answer regarding the new you. now, sanctions package and what it really is, well, they've run out of areas where they can hits us and now they have to reassess what they've already created and how it affects them. they've started to think about it only now. that's why they've introduced what i believe is a clarification of previous sanctions, which greenlight services related to russian food exports for months. they accused us of creating the food crisis and assured us that food and fertilizers aren't on the sanctions list. so come to russia, trade. nobody is stopping you. during those same months, we explained that food and fertilizers on sanctioned but freights insurance, sa, cargo ships, visits to foreign bolts, foreign ships, visits to our ports that was sanctioned in the very 1st packages. so when they lie to our face, we're told that everything depends on us. it is morally questionable so well,

you said it was, if you are really gets rid of russian energy, russia went face any serious problems. president putin has already said that in spite of the no stream to pipelines, readiness, $0.50 the energy which was meant to go through the pipeline, has already been reserved for internal needs for hating, for the chemical industry, et cetera. i have no doubts will reconfigure this. without any major problems, we have a bias we have demand, including in russia, we have no obligations and we don't try to plan on development based on some possibility of everything returning to how it was a year ago to restore the production change. no, i believe we should get rid of those changes out of principle and construct new reliable ones. something we're doing right now. there are many examples if and when europe says that they want right, that they want to restore trait relations. well, we shouldn't decline straight to way, but we should look for our benefit festivals. ok, another story r t brought attention to this week, the american association for human rights,

us slum, both moroccan and spanish authorities for last month. little events 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. familiar. 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 tragic incident in late june led to the death of 27 people with another 64 missing. many more migrants were injured as police push by crowds using force. the report comes after morocco state buck rights group said the migraines had most likely died from suffocation in some pete of the border post. while the president of the american association for human rights again, believes immigration policies needs a complete re thing to avoid such deadly incidents happening again. we believe the main cause of this tragedy, as 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 john dharm for europe in spain, and that the migration policies pursued by morocco. the european union in spain change, become more loyal to migrants and comply with international human rights agreements . sure link is acting president, had his position made official this week after a secret ballot held by parliament. it came as mass protest continued in the and buffalo site asian country with people suffering from a spiraling economic crisis. let's show you some of the images. hundreds of people gathered in front of the president's office, some of them burning an effigy of the leader and demanding his resignation. viewing the former prime minister of the key part of the tarnish government with security forces had been on heightened alert in the country's largest city colombo during the election. that soldiers patrolling the streets and waterways. protesters

rallied outside the parliament building for a number of days. our correspondent were in june sharma was there on census this. a . now the big question, you know the people in o c long got accept him. a simple answer is no wonder when we started. when we were all part of this, i didn't started hundreds and thousands of few long guns collectively said enough is enough. so i think it has a we believe that i now run into somebody who is seen as an ally or the roger buckshot. but remember when google by roger fuck shaw fled the country he made rondon as an acting president of the country, is also the prime minister,

the palmer dynamics. now once again with the roger buck shock, this is some pink that is going to anger the protest to us. they don't have any faith in the raja buckshot is what the project to see in the days to come. the protest on the ground could amplify. mostly lunk, all ready is grappling to shore to just fuel shortage of follow, shortage of food as well as medicines. and now there is a new problem at hand, which is a humanitarian and no one on the crisis which only seems to be intensify in the country. the u. s. army has projected it will fail to meet its recruitment goals. within the next 2 years, vice chief of staff, joseph martin admitted a huge challenge lies ahead recruiting, motivated, fit, and academically proficient men and women continues to be a challenge. only 23 percent of military age men and women the united states are

qualified to serve. and that does not even reflect propensity. the army estimates it will be likely left with a shortfall of $40000.00 recruits big numbers, the post coven environment on the labor market prices are set to be partly to blame, as well as other military initiatives ridiculed on social media. i'm shocked. the u. s. military went work, now we can't find recruits the army, is it only 40 percent of its recruiting numbers for the fiscal year, despite raising its maximum enlistment bonus from $40000.00 to $50000.00. military recruitment, being down tells you that not only east will culture a losing battle, but people have absolutely 0 trust in our institutions and administrative stays there. 0 faith in our leaders. they don't want to fight and potentially die for the woke the 3 main reasons. people aren't joining the military. people don't want to

die for the regimes neo liberal agenda. the military is, woke now and no longer exemplifies peak masculine, culture. vaccine mandates exposed how little the regime actually cares about its service members. while former us marine on geopolitical unless brian burlesque thick phase, many americans not believe serving in the army is no longer about defending the country and its people. when, when i joined back in 2000, this was already a growing problem. the u. s. was even then struggling to meet recruitment quote, as it's a combination of factors. it's interesting to hear people just blame the current governor. yes, it's definitely contributing to the problem, but i think it's americans in general, growing increasingly aware of the fact that joining the military, making the sacrifices required. and you're not doing it to actually defend the

united states. you're doing it to achieve special interests of a handful of people. collectively, american society has been used wars of aggression waged by the us of many, many americans were against these. ready was a see what happens to service members when they return home and try to go back to normal life. these wars are not in the service of defending america or it's people . it's been pursuing special interests. the military needs to think about its mission, inclement weather, as ponding, the russian city of sot chief local authorities have not declared a state of emergency as they have arranged being seen lead to severe flooding. over 400 people have been injured with one woman dying as a result of the storms. the parts of the region were brought to a standstill on saturday with emergency services providing assistance to locals on

the worst could yet be coming for the popular tourist destination. on the black sea current forecast predict the situation could further deteriorate with the possibility of tornadoes in the area and will keep a close eye on development there for you. now, is it the ultimate expression of cancelled culture western orchestra's? i'm theater is refusing to play and show pieces from historical long dead russian artistic grades. we delve into that and the bigger issue surrounding it in our short documentary, wrist of phobia, history of hate. it's thanks. ah ah .

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk.
