4:04 pm
the sanctions which were immediately put on brushes, insurance, and banking sectors. yes sir. gala ralph was speaking in cairo on the 1st stop of his for country africa trip after egypt, he goes to the opium uganda. and finally, the democratic republic of congo r t 's maria phenomena is accompanying minister of rough droids. his tour gave us an update from the egyptian capital earlier. here in cairo is where the russian foreign minister is african to, or begins ahead of his visit to the continent. mister law, set an interview to local media that russia has always been advocating for strengthening africans position in more than multi polar world. and will try to do my best to help make its voice heard. for that exact purpose, a huge event. the 2nd russia, africa summit is one for the next year, and the 2 ministers said that the preparations are now in full swing. but not
4:05 pm
everybody seems to be happy with russia's activity on the african continent. we heard several concerns from a number of us senators and one american general also recently said that russia's move in africa are problematic for us interests in the region. plus 10 number of western diplomats center petition ahead of laboratories visit here to egypt to the egyptian government. and arab league, who has had missed a lot of also me here in cairo, asking not to deal with russian. i had a chance to ask this question to both ministers in here is what mr shook re on 3rd saying that it's up to age ips to decide who to cooperate with and how to move. why is moscow's engagement with african countries regions so much concern in washington? we'll reactor with the most law in we have good relations with russia with you and we got our relations with them to advance our interests. all countries of africa
4:06 pm
have sovereignty and are free to choose their own policies, including foreign policies in the interests of their own people. and it's a lot of also so my question is similar way criticizing the u. s. fresh air because only the situations or episodes when certain individuals express their concern that one sovereign state does 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 of it. well, leaders must not take photos with russians and russian. diplomats that's a very strange reaction from them. the to foreign minister is also discuss bilateral relations between moscow in cairo. egypt has a long term strategic and economic partner for russia, and both mister law grove on mister show cree said today that the 2 countries agreed to expand and dipping cooperation between the 2 states. and just on
4:07 pm
this middle east studies expert, dr. is sallied sunday, say russia comes to the african continent, essentially baggage, free as it has no colonial or imperialistic footprint. they're unlike others. america was drawn from the middle east and ignored africa was china was russia were active in most of the east and africa. and the american, at one point will not heavy chinese and dawson's bill, but that was just a silent criticism. and now after the cleaning and all of the americans began to discover that you can not leave those areas. and that's why you had those statements regarding africa and the middle east from the american fissions. these are one of the, the one, the chinese they want to be back. second, a lot of stuff because it has no history in africa. other countries,
4:08 pm
it had not occupied, the middle east by it did not village the african countries, so it had a clean slate when become to africa. so this is very possible that big and managed was the next summit in africa was trivial for all phase. it came right on the heels of a nother high profile meeting in the region. russian president vladimir putin held talks with his rainy and turkish counterparts into a run this week. as part of the stomach trunk a piece process for resolving this. re a conflict the ah you know, some, it's focused on measures to try and in the 11 year long syrian war on the table
4:09 pm
included the living energy crisis in europe. the exports of ukrainian grain around the 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 the talks with their, the 3 nations, all of them, russia around a nation member, turkey cold on the u. s. to withdraw its troops from syria or t correspondent ilia petrov, who takes us through that. 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
4:10 pm
. e ball additions. keep saying that the gas prices are going through the roof because of what vladimir putin is up to, 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'll find how the european politicians are shooting themselves in the foot. we choose 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 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 onto gas
4:11 pm
from without any justification was covered you grain 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, iran, and turkey created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting at 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 is 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
4:12 pm
government in damascus under the control of the armed forces of the syrian era republic. what we've seen in the iranian capital, is that the level of trust between teran moscow, an anchor, are only keeps growing. the next summit will take place in russia. elliot, katrinka? well, we also heard from political communications professor at the university of tehran. food is audi. who sees cooperation between moscow on the western asian country 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 is a loan of both country. and i think the leadership in both countries have realized that no matter what they do and government including,
4:13 pm
and especially the united states, is going to question it. so it makes sense for neighbors to be allies and increased cooperation. as you know, you don't, and russia signed the $40000000000.00 oil and gas corporation agreement today and discussed in the meetings in 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 an exclusive interview given to our teeth editor in chief earlier this week, rushes foreign minister underlined moscow is not worried about the use desire to sever itself from russia's energy supplies, sir gala. ralph also spoke about the potential for peace talks with ukraine, a neat little so that we now understand that ukraine won't be able to put their
4:14 pm
demands into adequate words, worthy of serious attention 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 that 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 let should have no one answer regarding the new you now, sanctions package and what it really is. well,
4:15 pm
they've run out of areas where they can hit 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 fertilizes 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 we'll use many of those if you are really gets rid of russian energy, russia, when 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,
4:16 pm
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 by, as 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 away, but we should look for our benefit. first of all. ok, more stories from the week now the american association for human rights as slum both moroccan on 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
4:17 pm
the new inhumane practices in the role of gendarme reactivated with forest just after the normalization of moroccan spanish relations. during the 5 days during which they tried to sleep in this area, the migrants were once again attacked daily to prevent them from settling in this camp, almost 6 kilometers away from lillia. at the same time, as the severely injured migrants piled on top of each other, were crying out for help and moaning in pain and agony. the public forces continued to violently dragged the arrested migrants before piling them on top of their compatriots without taking into account their health condition. in order to handcuff the migrants and put them down on their stomachs, some migrants were trampled while continued to receive unjustified blows from the public forces. the tragic incident in late june led to the dance of 27 people with another 64 missing many more by going to top of that were injured as police pushed by crowds using force. the report comes after morocco state back writes group said
4:18 pm
the migrants had most likely died from suffocation in a stampede of the border post. while the president of the moroccan association for human rights again, believes 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 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
4:19 pm
. sure like is acting president, was made president this week with this position made official after a secret ballot was held by parliament, it came as mass protest continued in the embattled saif asian country with citizens suffering from aspiring economic crisis. hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the president's office, some of them putting an effigy of the leader on demanding his resignation. viewing the former prime minister, no president of the key part of a government security forces, had been on heightened alert in the country's largest city colombo. during the election with soldiers patrolling the streets and waterways. the protesters rallied outside the parliament building for a number of days or a correspondence. runjun sharma reports from there, weeks and months long. got your bill as long as they are now. the possibility would be longer accept him simply
4:20 pm
also to know when we saw that when we were all part of it, i didn't thought it hundreds and thousands of long guns collective you said enough is enough. so i knew he has a. a bug, we believe that i know ron and somebody was seen as an ally of the roger buck shaws . remember when google by roger upshaw 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 to us. they don't have any faith in the raja buckshot. that is what the project to see in the days to come, the protests on the ground could amplify men, mostly long gods, ready is grappling to shortage of fuel shortage of follow, shortage of food as well as medicines. and now there is
4:21 pm
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 and quite significantly. so vice chief of staff, joseph martha benedict, huge challenge, lizette, recruiting, motivated, fit in 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 the army estimates its ranks will like to be left with a shortfall of $40000.00 recruits the post coven environment they labor market crisis are said to be parking, to play, as well as other military initiatives, ridicules on social media i'm shocked. the u. s. military went woke. now we
4:22 pm
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 easter 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. a former us marine until political analyst brian burlesque says many americans now believe serving in the military is no longer about defending the
4:23 pm
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 me recruitment quotas. 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 the 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 the use. ready was a see what happens to service members when they return home and try to go back to
4:24 pm
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. now still some 6 weeks ago before we'll know the next prime minister of the united kingdom, the 2 remaining runners are campaigning hard to convince people they should be next in line. this truss richey sudak have been scattering promises in all directions, but many of the pledges seem to but foreign policy rather than the looming economic crisis at home. here's ortiz, rachel evans, 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, live trust, and regime soon. next, while there are a host of domestic issues, to consider, trust is reportedly planning to emphasize her stances a hawk. well painting her opponent as a dove, who is too soft on china and russia. currently serving as
4:25 pm
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 tensions 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 ban on all investment in russia. trump said earlier this month, but she will support giving the sees and frozen russian assets in the u. k. to ukraine as a new form of humanitarian aid. hey,
4:26 pm
maybe the landscape can use the 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. trust 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 the last guy must be met with force. that would mean of course, that the west needs to continue providing or weapons and ammunition and trust supports this idea. saying nato can't afford to take its quote foot off the gas pedal. no, they're just the statements were trusted, 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,
4:27 pm
if she would recognize russian sovereignty, you were to region south of the capitol, where the russian military was station. she said, britain would never recognize them as russian while neglecting the fact was, the territory is clearly part of russia as her 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 conflicts 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 in the future. first of my view on nato target as
4:28 pm
a flaw and not a 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. as in a position where it's new prime minister will told the nato line and follow the advice of johnson who use his parting speech to tell his country to stay close to be american and stick up for the ukrainians. the question now becomes, will it be the candidate who appears ready to go along with, with the alliance ones or the one who wants to shape the future of nato as an even more hawkish lions aiming to expand the current tangent? no matter the cost. it's an old trick the politicians have been doing since, since the time of the turn as to destruction, the media away from problems back home and using big international issues such as conflicts as subjects which control the attention. you know, it's very,
4:29 pm
very easy to do that and to be fair and on that quite so much is, trust, trust is actually bang the drum, a great deal on russia. ukraine in china, the how the subjects are the subjects at home and needles, and really want to look too closely. neither want to focus too hard on the problems are getting the economy fixed. extreme poverty, inflation, rising energy costs. and that is the recap of the news week that was for right up to the moment. developments though, do give or twitter page a follow with will keep you in the loop for note from the rti studios in moscow. goodbye, ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a
4:30 pm
robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with a, with .
