hi, susan, my electric malaria, this is dylan we'll up at the offices was put a security film with was chem mm ah, it's a fur know to blackmail when it comes to foreign affairs. that's the message from russia and the republic of the congo after talks between the countries diplomats, the circle of robes africans, or in full swing. the pakistani business community is keen to develop trade relations with russia. as the president of the pakistan business forum knows the attractiveness of the russian market called the countries exports and restricting the flow russian energy giant and gas from says he's taking another turbine offline for maintenance coating. already reduced gas flows to europe by

almost a half, unseeing, and immediate spike in europe, gas prices with, from moscow to the world. this is our t international. i'm peter scott. and these, the top stories, this, our russia and the republic of the congo, stand against political blackmail and being dictated to over global affairs. thus, the message coming from the countries top diplomats, during the russian foreign ministers historic visit. the move was to poems, or we will stand for democratization of international relations for equality of all nations in a global dialogue. in line with the un charter, we stand against dictatorship, ultimatums and black male in relations between sovereign countries. telephone, my stance on the russia, ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since it broke out. and it relies on the position of the african union from the very beginning. we did not want to do as the

romans to add fuel to the fire. we wanted to reach out to both sides to find a negotiated solution in the congo mister lover of also met the country's president's with the global few crises being one of the key issues of both talks. the foreign minister, once again, just as the russia isn't seeking to create obstacles, to exporting grain from ukrainian ports of these, maria phenomena has been following the foreign minister with his tor. now in full swing, congos leader who has been ruling the country since $979.00 and new all soviet and russian leaders since now in each branch of greece said a lover of like he is a family member. the 2 sides discussed a wide range of issues including mutual efforts in leave is reconciliation process . congress president is preparing a huge conference there with representatives of all tribes and forces invited. russia supported the idea and also creation of a joint labord theory for this study. and prevention of the spread of dangerous

infectious diseases. russia stopped implement, came to africa at a hard time to confirm that moscow and its partners in this region. how still on the same page, we just have to initiate then there's we cooperate closely in the international arena. and we have practically identical positions and most issues. we appreciate this cooperation with our friends from the republic of congo, congo was the 2nd country labrono visited as part of his strategic african to work . before congo was aged russia's plans on the african continent are huge, but not everybody seems to be happy. it is becoming clear that russia is recognizing that its own actions have caused it to become a brian foreign minister lab. rob is seeking to engage with countries to try to slip, to try to stem beyond slot of outrage against rob, just ahead of labrems, to visit a group of western diplomats, sent a petition to the gyptian government, and the arab league, calling on condemned russia for his special military ration and ukraine not to deal

with moscow and even not to take pictures with lava. all the arab leagues answer was clear. mr. law roof is already here. you know, gotten done and other busy day full of high ranking african meetings. they had a c o p, a follows the russian side, expect small criticism and disapproval from the west. but as moscow says, they barking will not stop the caravan. you'll see the metal people on their social media and medias when you see how people are really thinking that it's a very good opportunity for the african not only for us may be c, like a very, very positive side for the russia. come come back in africa doing something so you know, so it's also because of the context in which we are going to the most of the country future. for example, in country later in the mccracken, scholars facing the issues of security really didn't help people take on the effect

more in terms of security and also got on tea for example, leadership and also in terms of, you know, big in the u. n. c, like you may have more positive, this is or in terms we, there's a portable phone to be off of offering. so it's really giving a sense of a home without pick on rejoined men in this offer coverage on, in general. as a correspondence mentioned earlier that a gala drove arrived in uganda, he said stop on the talk on monday night. he's already held a short meeting with you can the count spots, and he scheduled to meet the country's president later on tuesday. la ross trip will wrap up anything. and as the russian for minister continues his african visits all to contribute to rachel, marston analyze is what it is about africa, the so fixates the u. s. and the you, the problem for the west is that it is spent years pratt falling all around africa

and african seem to be getting a little bit tired of it. france was leading an e u security mission, the to cuba task force in this a hell region of africa since 2020. but it was kicked out earlier this year after it failed so badly at stabilizing the country that the missions host country malley underwent to cruise. clearly a resounding success for the showcase of what a european union military alliance could achieve, which is an objective that has long been voiced by french president, a mentor and my comb. malley has since turned to increased cooperation with russia on the security front. and it's a trend that we're seeing all across africa as western countries failed to deliver . and washington is reacted, and it's typically subtle fashion to its loss of influence by bo, threatening and trying to bribe african countries at the same time, the countering malign russian activities in africa act introduced in congress back

in march, targets african governance officials and businesses doing business with russia, it qualifies such dealings as manipulation and exploitation of africans sells a lot leggy countering russian influence in europe and eurasia act of 2017. that led to the demise of the german russian gas project, nordstrom, to, and from which we're all suffering here in europe. now as citizens, sa, scramble for energy at high prices. it also sounds a lot like the countering america's adversaries through sanctions act, targeting iran, russia, north korea. and you know, all of this legislation effectively just deters other nations from dealing with america's geopolitical competitors. and no doubt that's by design at the same find the g 7 group of western allied nations pledged a $600000000000.00 plan for africa and latin america last month.

so what do you think the odds are that the west will allow countries to both take that money and also to do business with russia and china? it really does seem like an effort to compete with china's belt and road initiative in the same regions. but well, it's a day late and a dollar short. it already smacks of desperate attempts to keep africa squarely in the western sphere of influence. as growing multi clarity, opens up their options over to pakistan now, which is one of the countries that has not embraced the western tre blockade of russia. where the president of the party on business form says the business community in the country is looking forward to strengthening trade ties with moscow . the forums head odds that the russian market hob is huge, growth potential for pakistani exports. both current bilateral trade is been hampered by banking sanctions imposed against russia, as well as undeveloped logistical routes between the 2 countries. now pakistan's

exports to russia amounted to more than 170000000 dollars last year, but the forms chief said that could potentially grow exponentially in the near future as much as $2800000000.00. if trade barriers are removed in the textile, agricultural and medical sexes, however, international lawyer and global affairs on the list has on as long shot, believe the new governments and he's, i'm about may not say cut off. so, but unity because of us pressure. i don't expect much from the current current government. and the reason why i say that is because in my view with this government has come with a specific agenda, which is to undo all the good work that had been done by the former prime, the state, and run on who had extended all the price to russia, it wanted to expand montana to create with russia. it's unfortunate that they see it as a 0 sum game because for them appeasing washington d. c is the be all and the end all of their entire geopolitical outreach. as

you know, diplomacy is a delicate balancing act and one relationship should not be exclusive off the other . it's not, i don't or you can always have a relationship with old or more countries. we live in a month and after. but, you know, i always give the example of neighboring india, which has maintained a close relationship with russia, which is the legacy of the last few decades. at the same time, india has managed to get very close to us, let risks of western alliance so, so it's possible to balance out both. but unfortunately, the current government of august found to be viewed as a 0 sum game because they have been given a script. they have been told that you have to undo the work that was done by iran mission energy giant gas problem has announced that it will take offline one of the turbines. it helps from the gas through the nord stream, one pipeline, to germany. now the company says the move is part of routine maintenance for that

does mean that from wednesday, the already restricts in gas. so to europe will be caught by close to another 50 percent earlier, you know, neil discuss the issue without ca, rachel blevins. we know this pipeline was already down to 40 percent capacity, and of course these cuts come just days after the pipeline went back online following routine maintenance. now guys promise saying that they're going to have to take another turbine down. they say that it's due to technical difficulties and the need for even more maintenance. and we've seen really just those ongoing saga involving the north stream one where gas problem is also saying that they still have not received back that turbine, that they've been waiting on, which was sent off to canada and then held up due to a lot of back and forth over whether or not canada was even able to release it because of course the west has so many sanctions on russia that that turbine gotten to the cross hairs well now gaz promise saying they did receive some documents on

its return. however, those documents lead to even more questions than answers here. so there still is a lot up in the air regarding this very vital pipeline that europe still continues to rely on even the head of this news. the general mood in europe regarding energy where it's coming from was far from boy in to it is, it is very tense right now. and, you know, you see this growing crisis, we've seen these skyrocketing energy prices that only continue to sore. and yet the response from top leaders and europe has not been to lead to any sort of meaningful answers. so far the european commission is now saying it expects countries with a block to simply cut their consumption of natural gas next month by 15 percent. now reports are saying that member states are already speaking out and asking for exemptions, saying that that simply is not a possibility. and when it comes to the real world,

impact of those skyrocketing energy prices, we see that everywhere from the homes that are seeing those large bills to also the production germany specifically saw a survey of into true companies and nearly 20 percent of them so that they were already pulling back on production due to the fact that they simply could not afford it. now, surely, there are a lot of people in europe. we're thinking that they just can go forward like this. but the prime minister of hungry is the one who's actually speaking out. here's what he had to say about the situation in the war. the western strategy is based on 4 conditions. the 1st is, the ukraine is not alone, and it needs anglo saxon instructors for the country to win the war with russia using nato weapons. the 2nd is sanctions which should weaken russia. the 3rd is the aftermath of sanctions, which we should have handled, but russia could not the 4th element as peace that we could have built. instead, we are sitting in a car that has punctures in all 4 tires. it is absolutely clear that the war cannot

be won this way. so there is still a lot up in the air here, especially when it comes to looking at how this latest cut to the north stream one pipeline is going to affect the overall supply. and of course, how europe is going to respond to it. the u. s. is engaged in a proxy war with russia and ukraine is the bustle field. that's the view of former ca officer raymond mcgovern who says the continuance across moscow's red lines only leads to escalations in the conflicts this year is shared by many, including former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, who has stated more than once that ukraine should serve as a buffer zone between the east and the west. prominent us scholar john mearsheimer also believes that the u. s. on this allies are the ones responsible for the ukranian crisis. now it must be said that the majority in the west do view russia's actions in ukraine as an unprovoked invasion of a suffering country boats. it does appear that alternative opinions are finding their way on the political arena as some european leaders,

such as from gary and p. m. v, or bon, are urging the blog to take a different approach to the war in ukraine. form a ca officer, raymond mcgovern things the u. s. should accept a shift towards a more multi polar world anxious central thread. that means that you're a very nation, its defense is in danger. russia does not want medium range or long range missiles in ukraine or overland or mania. few let you choose ukraine in nature. those misses will pack them, go in there. so it's all tied together. mister food chain and his russian leadership are clearly bent on preventing this kind of situation a bulwark of the west, or right against the russian territory invasion of ukraine. it was not on provoked. and i have been making that case as has john mearsheimer. rather,

it was provoked starting and earnest in 2014, when the cool and kia took place. but even before that in 2008, when she gave love ross warner ambassador nic means and yet, who think america and its allies in the wes should be able to dominate the rest of the world. they all seem to realize that that's all here. that was the case back after world war 2. to an extent, it was a case after the russia in soviet doing imploded. it is not the case now. the russian armed forces are, again, a push they contend with their economy is pretty much target. that is they can get along by themselves with a lot of help from china. india, you are on other places. so it's a very different world. america doesn't realize that the pay gemini is over,

americans have no reason to worry about a potential recession. that's according to the us treasury secretary. you said that despite flow economic growth, there are jobs for those who want them. this is not in the economy. it's in recession, but we're in a period of transition in which growth is slowing, and that's necessary and appropriate. oh john, it's yellen also said that rising inflation in the country can be controlled. that is, despite the rates surging to 9 point one percent in the last month, which is the highest, it's been in decades ms. ellen's optimism, though isn't shared by everyone, including a former advised that the bark obama. you said the recession is basically inevitable. pressure on american consumers to continue to increase with food, energy and rent becoming ever more expensive. and with jo biden's ratings reaching

in the old time low of these can. morphine has been looking at the public supports for the president. polls indicate that the biden administration is not popular. 59 percent, almost 60 percent of americans seem to disapprove of the job that joe biden is doing. and that is consistent with other polling data that has been taken. an interesting poll that came out earlier this summer showed that 28 percent of americans felt that it would at some point be necessary possibly to take up arms against the american government. that's how alienated that they feel. now, this discontent has manifested itself on the streets of america. here's a recent incident where a heckler confronted 1st lady jill bite. the now deal biden has provided his critics. here is a bloopers of which they control him on the internet and point out his flaws. joe biden seems to have quite

a habit of reading off instructions either in his notes or in a teleprompter. not being clear what it is he supposed to be speaking about and saying, and rather what it is that our instructions, he says things like now take your seat to repeat the line. now make further comments and he continues to do that as he speaks. there are also some other notable slobs where he talks about the selfishness of us troops in saudi arabia, for example. but at the end of the day, the driving factor behind jo biden's unpopularity is be inflation, which is a 40 year high. the rising cost of gas. ready rising cost of food, americans are just not happy with the buying in ministration and it's performance that it's all real director for the reactionary times news and commentary sites. julio rivera, he believes the jo buttons, presidency began his downward spiral from day one. if you look at all the failures of the budget and ministration has started on day one with his executive orders, you look at the border crisis. you want to whole

a border construction. immediately after he won the election, he was running around in the media, talking about the possibility of legalizing up to $11000000.00 illegal residents that cause the search to the southern border, which we're still dealing with. you talk about the energy crisis in america. you know, he tries to blame the conflict that's going on in ukraine for the rising price of energy in america. but the truth of the matter, if he was handed an energy independent country, i think the route of the economic crisis, the america's facing it, and really every sector has to do with leadership. i mean, joe biden is incompetent. the democrats have become economically incompetent. joe biden deserved his poor poll numbers bottom line. russian lead forces say they destroyed to ukrainian boats with subaltern in ukrainian waters south of nikolai of us, according to the russian m. o. d. also, according to the m. o. d version forces hit a depth with ammunition for americans supplied highmore launches,

incense exchanges about 35, all taking place on the entire front line in the dawn bus. seeing no abates since last week. meanwhile, in the near 50 russians, you want to tear in services, have delivered another batch of 8 to the city which is under fire. and this time the aid went further. so the borders of the republic is ortiz, roman, casa village is still under fire, and it's very difficult for people to bring a food here. so all these people are relying on humanitarian aid. there are at least 1200 residents that live in this village alone. and the russian humanitarian mission has been delivering food here for quite a few months. and according to the people, if it wasn't for them, there would be starving. we just look at what our for this isn't our 1st time here . we've been 4 or 5 times. so this is my 3rd visit and this time we brought

a standard humanitarian package. each box contains around 15 kinds of products apart from food. we've also brought valuable things like water filters through them with the weight of our cargo today is to not have tons over all since the war started. we've brought some 600 tons social away and i thought i'd say never been in this village for about 10 minutes. mind you there is no network here sold. the telephones don't work, but somehow the people found out that the humanitarian aid was broad. and as you can see, there are now coming from everywhere can see people from coming from afar. and this shows how much this humanitarian aid is needed. yoko photo not a border, we've had no pensions, no salaries for 6 months. some shops have opened, the prices have gone up 3 times for the last time i got my pension was in february, and that's it. there's no money to pay for food. and this, this is a significant hello sir, that watching federal ship almost, it's very needed help him. we are refugees. we left

a broken house and everything in it. we took only a few bags with us. we are grateful for the healthy bottle. the village of storm linen cabinet came home to hundreds of refugees from other areas that ukraine is currently shelling very heavily. now, right now i'm going to speak to a one of those refugees. he doesn't to be shown on camera because his relatives are still on a territory controlled by ukraine, but he has some very important information to share. gotcha, uncle, the one ukrainian sold her head from the shelling in our courtyard. i call him in and hit him in the basement. he repeatedly use his walkie talkie asking for further instructions. he was very afraid, but he was told to come down and sit tight. after a while, he was told it's time to leave and to civilians as a shield. he didn't even turn to us, but it's unlikely he could take 2 strong men as a shield anyway for scalars,

vest village saw some of the heaviest fighting since the start of this special military operation. although it's a relatively quiet here right now, we can still hear the sounds of artillery. this village of the moment is also hosting refugees from other parts of the nest people's republic still under control of the ukrainian military. but be in here. there are always these constant reminders of the armed conflict. remind cauthrin, arte don't as people republic and finally, canadian farmers have gathered in ottawa to show solidarity with their dutch colleagues. they're also protesting against new environmental laws which could affect their livelihoods. the me i'm just gathered near the dutch embassy and kind of the capital to voice their concerns about the dumbest

plan. it could fall emissions by 50 percent. they say it will directly affect production potential and damage and already shaky financial situation. performance canadians themselves dealing with the new burden of taxes on russian fertilizer. john said that no farmers, no food outside the building. over the past month stood farmers have used tractors to block high waves and distribution centers in the netherlands. they are protesting against regulations that would in some cases force farmers to co heard and modernized facilities in the hope of cutting nitrogen and ammonia emissions. earlier. ryan cursed like a canadian farmer. so does that. the all change of the farmers can meet themselves without being forced to do so. by the government. there's going to be a lot of sentiment and worry about what that might mean for the bottom line of these producers and mixed reactions to that. i think that there's still could be more opportunity for us to be heard and really outlined different types of storage programs like the for n, a nice nutrients stewardship program, where we do see

a reduction for leisure without having huge impacts and yields what the for, are standing for right source of the fertilizer, the right rate, the right time in the right place. so i think that there are efficient, sees that farmers could be implementing without having kind of a forced hand reaction from government. so i think that we want to make sure that as we try to move more towards a green agenda, that we're not putting farmers in the red. and that they're able to take advantage of this as a, as a benefit of, you know, a price, a price increase or, or know, taking advantage of the value that the ada result of going green. and not just simply having to have a force production in yield as the farmers are forced to by governments. well, those are the main stories this i would do head over to r t dot com or our social media pages include our telegram and odyssey channels for more information and analysis. my name is peter scott and thank you for watching. ah,

ah, the news a with, with, with

my daily liquidity for what was shown a portion of my down, you know, pretty shy the court. what you wanna? boy, a shawl norwalk, with a question not in the pony sri leash really was new, please know. i put the most of them will be stupid, it was a free. i'm to consider a slightly goes to justin. it was on the home. like will you be for me like that? it doesn't come with the unit push without us because she, she knew me yet. oh, the russian speaking se ukraine refused to accept the cruise outcome. people took to the streets of ukraine's largest cities that had been protest in hoc of a desa mario pope. and zap our osha, mass protest broke out in the crimean autonomous republic and overwhelming majority

of crimean citizens voted as a referendum to break away from ukraine. and in march 2014 crimea rejoined russia. or chester scrimmage you put in your one. of course, miss corson, sure are think there was a procedure virginia you belittle, don't renew criminal vasa or chest of crackers or patrols, care or dish. it was mentors, sports, orange, california with nationalists trying to suppress pro russian public sentiment with extreme violence on may. the 2nd far right is organized a march named for united ukraine. the march ends in a bluff here with
