a with russia confirms that missile strike on military targets in the ports of odessa. it follows that barrage of accusations by the west and ukraine. moscow's already breached a new grain export deal, the psyche of itself admitting wheat stores were not pit. also ahead. all countries of anger have sovereignty, are free to choose their own policies, including foreign policy in the interest of their own people. the words of egypt, foreign minister following talks with his russian counterpart in cairo, who is all nature of africa and much to the concern of washington, which has expressed a alarm about moscow's influence on the account. with that, also among the stories that ship the week,

russia around and nato member charity hold talks to discuss the conflict resolution and syria calls for the u. s. to withdraw its troops from the country with what they tell stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly on rti welcome. russia sees a ukrainian warship, an empty ship. miss styles were destroyed in saturdays strike on the port of odessa foot age shows, blasts and smoke rising into the year as well as firefighters of the same, according to ukrainian officials. 4 missiles were fired at the port with 2 of them brought on by missile defenses, confirming the strike, the russian defense ministry said only military targets where his loves odessa is one of 3 ports through which grain will be exported from ukraine

under a recent deal broken by turk, in the u. n. western media and politicians, including the us secretary of state, were quick to blame moscow for violating the agreement. the korean president did the same, however key and then admitted grain stockpiles were intended all sitting. instead, minor damage was drawn to port infrastructure. 3 ports and total in the black sea will be unblocked under the agreements. ukraine will not d mind them, though, repeatedly requested by moscow to ensure a safe passage of ships, but instead escort the vessels to turkish waters where they will then go on to other international destination. the agreement will also see russia, turkey and ukraine operate a coordination center, in case any incidents occurred during the shipment process. cargo ships will be inspected for weapons to the enter and exit the black sea. well, as the green deal is reached,

the un secretary general has committed to lifting restrictions on moscow's at logistics and financial change to ensure the passage of rush and food internationally. now it's according to russia's top diplomat after talks with is a gyptian counterpart as he starts a diplomatic tour of africa. and it is what said, the foreign minister said in the build up that is being used to soften the food crisis. let's look when it comes to the russian grain issue. do you and secretary general has committed to lifting the unlawful restrictions on logistics and financial trains which have been imposed by the u. s. and the a you will take a look at how he will uphold this commitment. it now depends on him. we personally are 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 and relying on credible partners, not those who have showed that total incapacity to hold negotiations, getting back to the food issue if our western colleagues taking the unfolding

situation very much to heart. but 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. you? yes sir, gala for off is in cairo on the 1st stop of his for country africa trip. after egypt he travels to ethiopia, uganda, and finally the democratic republic of congo accompanying him is ortiz, maria for national. she spoke to the program from the egyptian capital writer. here in cairo is where the russian foreign minister is african to 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, and diplomat sent a petition ahead of labor of his visit here to agent, to the egyptian government and arab league, who's had this to lobby. also here in cairo, asking not to deal with russia, nobody doing money. if i had a chance to ask this question to both ministers and here is what mr. shook crayons are saying that it's up to egypt to decide who to cooperate way than how the most law. we have good relations with russia, with the you and we got our relations with them to advance our interests. yeah. all countries of africa have sovereignty of it and are free to choose their own

policies, including foreign policies in the interests of their own people. then it's a lover of also answered my question in a similar way, criticizing the u. s. pressure because only the situations or episodes when certain individuals express that concern, that one sovereign state tends to talk to another sovereign state, especially when both states have a long history of solidarity or co operation. the decision by western ambassadors, french, german, and others to refuse to participate in the upcoming events. they called on everyone to stop signing documents with russia. and they even said that other world leaders must not take photos with russians and russian. diplomats that's 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 mister lob robin mister shoe pre said today that the 2 countries agreed to expand and depend corporation between the 2 states and just staying with this story,

middle east studies expert, dr. aside, a subject, sage. russia comes to the african continent, essentially baggage, free as it has no colonial footprint on like other america had, was drawn from the middle east and had ignored africa. china was russia will accept it in both east and, and africa. and the american at one point will not heavy chinese bill. but that was just silent criticism. and now after the crisis, all of the americans began to discover that you can not leave those areas. and that's why you had those statements are going to get in the middle east from the american officials, not one of the, the one the chinese did. they want to be back 2nd, a lot of stuff because it has no history in africa. it

had not occupied the middle east. if i got it did not village the african. so it had a clean plate when they come to africa. this is very possible that big and managed was the next summit in absolute love for all the visit came right on the heels of another high profile meeting in the region. russian president vladimir putin hell talks with his iranian turkish counterparts into rom this week. as part of the us to nor troika piece process for resolving the syria conflict. ah, the trio focused on measures to try and in the 11 year long syrian war, but other topics on the table included the escalating energy crisis in europe on

the exports of ukraine re grading around 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. and just another news line that emerged from this all 3 nations at the top, russia around and nato member turkey called on the us to draw its trips from syria or t corresponded to elliot the trunk. that takes us through that on the other big issues discussed was constant blame game that has to do with the russian gas exports has been going on for months and months,

evolve. titian's keep saying that 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 won 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 rooms, in each case, you'll find how the european politicians are shooting themselves in the foot. which is gas problem have to do with this because one pipeline for scheduled maintenance . the other pipeline was closed because of sanctions gas problem. it's 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 refilled and will continue to fulfill all of its obligations. it's our partners who are trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes onto gas from

without any justification with covert 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, it ran and turkey created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting different sides 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 terran moscow in ankara only keeps growing. the next summit will take place in russia and in terms of some of the views from iran itself. we heard from political communications professor at the university of tehran food, a zombie who sees cooperation between russia under ron maloney 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 goal of both country. and i think that leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and government, including the fisher in the united states,

is going to pressure that. so it makes sense for neighbors and increase corporation . you city, as you know, you know, and russia signed the for the, by the end on the oil and gas corporation agreement today. and that was discussed in the around the population is going to increase. and it's going to be linden situation for both sides. it's going to be good for the people for the country. ok, something else to bring you on the program in an exclusive interview given to ortiz, editor in chief earlier this week, rushes foreign minister underline that moscow is not worried about the use desire to sever itself. from russia's energy supplies. sir gil of ralph also spoke about the potential for peace talks with ukraine. a new process that we now understand that ukraine won't be able to put their demands into

adequate words, worthy of serious intentions of serious people. ukraine is literally being restrained from taking constructive steps. the countries being forced to use foreign weapons in a more risky way. and foreign specialists actually occupying jobs than maintaining those weapons systems are like high mileage. all 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 100 and to direct a confrontation between russia and european states. because advantageous for the u . s. and the u. k. sitting far away beyond the ocean, it is the european mock, if it suffers mostly. i have no illusions and i believe ukraine won't be allowed to conduct negotiations unless washington decides has made enough trouble and chaos and decides. now it's time for ukraine to act on its own the while washington watches from the side, boost gustavo, and what should have no answer regarding the newly announced sanctions package and what it really is. well, they have run out of areas where they can head sauces,

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 freight's insurance. sa, cargo ships, visits to foreign folds of foreign ships, visits to oppose all that was sanctioned in the very 1st packages. so when they lie to our face, we told that everything depends on us. it is morally questionable who was so well, you said it was, if you are a brailey, 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, stacy sent to 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 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 changed. 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 weight, but we should look for our benefit festivals. but i'm with kayla said move on to more stories that generated interest on the program this week. the moroccan association for human rights as slum both moroccan and spanish authorities for last month. legal events in which over 2 dozen migrants died while attempting to storm a stylish enclave in north africa. this unprecedented

encirclement which highlights the new inhumane practices and the roll 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 continue 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 continuing to receive unjustified blows from the public forces. the tragic incident in late june led to the debts of 27 people. with another 64 missing many more migrants were injured as police pushed by crowds

using force. the report comes after morocco state back rights group said the migrants had most likely died from suffocation in his thumb, paid at the border post. while the president of the american association for human rights. again, believe immigration policies need a complete rethink to avoid such deadly incidents 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, european union and fame change, become more loyal to migrants and comply with international human rights agreements

. i let's turn attention to asia. western lank is acting president and his position made official this week after a secret ballot was held by parliament, it comes as mass protest continued in the and bustled south asian country with citizens suffering from aspiring economic crisis. hundreds of their protesters gathered in front of the president's office, some of them putting an effigy on the leader and demanding his resignation. viewing the former prime minister and our president as a key parts of the toners government. security forces had been on heightened alerts in the country's largest city colombo during the election with soldiers patrolling the street. some waterways, 1000. protesters, raleigh, outside the parliament buildings for a number of days. our correspondent roonan sharma reports from their a

i now the big question a long got accept him. of the simple answer is no wonder when we started. when we were all part of it. i didn't started hundreds and thousands of few long guns collectively said enough is enough to sell a. a bug we believe that i know ron and somebody was seen as an ally or the raja buck shot. remember when go to buy a roger fuck shot fled the country he made rondon as an acting president of the country is also the prime minister. the bomber dynamics now once again with the raja buckshot, this is something that is going to anger the protest us they don't have any faith in the raja buckshot. that is what the project to see in the days to come. the protest on the ground could amplify mostly, young gods, ready is grappling to shortage of 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 in the united states are qualified to serve. and that does not even reflect propensity pity. half the numbers being talked about, the army estimates its ranks, will likely be left with a shortfall of $40000.00 recruits the post coven environment on the labor market crisis are said 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 that 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 the woke culture a losing battle, but people have absolutely 0 trust in our institutions and the administrative state . they have 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 peek masculine culture. vaccine mandates exposed how little the regime actually cares about its service members. petty cutting replies. there weren't, they were former us marine on geopolitical analyst, brian for less axis. many americans indeed not believe serving in the military is no longer about defending the country. that's people. 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. got the 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 war 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 across the atlantic from there with the race for the keys to number 10. done to the final 2 contenders. the hopefuls are campaigning hard to convince people that they should be the next u. k. prime minister. this trusts and richie soon been scattering promises really in all directions. but many of them seem to be about foreign policy rather than the looming economic crisis at home. here's our team. rachel blevins, their race to determine who will succeed boris johnson as the next prime minister of the u. k is on and it's down to the final 2 contenders list trust and regime soon acts. while there are a host of domestic issues to consider. trust is reportedly planning to emphasize her stance is a hawk. well painting her opponent as a dove, who is too soft on china and russia, currently serving as

a foreign secretary trust is trying to establish herself as the next margaret thatcher. she has been at the forefront of u. k. communications on russia this year, but it has only served to escalate tension between the 2 peach and must lose in ukraine. helping ukraine defend itself, all defensive weapons from the united kingdom, and now being used to stop russian tracks. but we need to do more. let's be clear. if peach in succeeds, there will be unfold further misery across europe and terrible consequences across the globe. we would never feel safe again. so we must be prepared for the long whole. we've got to double down on our support for ukraine, in addition to promoting unprecedented sanctions and a ban on all investment in russia. trust that earlier this month, but she will support giving me sees and frozen russian assets in the u. k. to ukraine as a new form of humanitarian aid. hey, maybe the landscape can use

a yacht. i am supportive of the concept. we're looking at it very closely. the canadians have, in fact, just passed legislation. this is an issue that we are working on jointly with the home office and the treasury, but i certainly agree with the concept. we just need to get the specifics of it. right truss has also criticized fellow nato leaders who suggested it was time to pursue a peace deal to put an end of the conflict. she insisted that ukraine should not give into any concessions and that moscow must be met with force. that would mean, of course, that the west needs to continue providing more weapons and ammunition and trust supports this idea. saying nato can't afford to take it's quote, foot off the gas pedal, and those are just the statements were trusses said what she intended to. she was previously called out by russia for saying ukraine has a history of surviving invasion. and then, referencing one from the 13th century, when asked by leaders in moscow if she would recognize russian sovereignty over 2

region south of the capitol, where the russian military was station. she said, britain would never recognize them as russian while neglecting the fact that the territory is clearly part of russia. as for the future of nato trust said she wants to see the alliance expand around the globe with the goal of countering both russia and china. she has also said nato should be doing more to quote, protect taiwan from china, despite the fact that under the one china policy, which the u. k recognizes taiwan is part of china. so what's to not be any better? well, the chancellor has not been nearly as outspoken as his opponent when it comes to global conflict and he has voice concerns about the u. k. the economy as it continues to pledge support for ukraine. body of also said he sees the u. k. is funding for the nato alliance continuing to grow. 2 in the future, 1st of all, my view on nato target as

a small and also ceiling. so that's something that i can absolutely commit to. and also the most important thing to know is all defense spending is already full cost to grow, to around to an office and over time as a result of the investments that we're making. so it appears that once again, the u. k is in a position where it's new prime minister will tow nato line and follow the advice of johnson who used his parting speech to tell his country to stay close to be americans and stick up for the ukrainians. the question now becomes will be the candidate who appears ready to go along with, with the alliance want, or the one who wants to shape the future of nato as an even more hawkish alliance. aiming to expand the current tensions no matter the cost. it's an old trick the politicians have been doing since, since the time of the turn to destruction, the media away from problems back home and using big international issues, which is conflict as subjects which draw the attention. you know, it's very,

very easy to do that and to be fair and on. not quite so much as this trust trust is actually buying the drum a great deal on russia. ukraine in china. the hardest subjects are the subjects at home needles. i'm really want to look too close to either want to focus too hard on the problems are getting the economy fixed extreme poverty, inflation. rising energy costs. next, clinicals are subject still drawing the biggest chunk of global internet traffic. it begins with p rhymes with corn. rosa part, right, i had the a

with welcome to wells fargo, jokingly dismissed or shameful, was the press for the last, a very complex and a very complex phenomenon revealing something hidden, both about as consumers on society at large. like any collective preoccupation is gratified and punishes, exalts and exhaust, exposes and misrepresent. with points i still joined a big chunk of internet traffic. what.
