foreign affairs minister after the u. s secretary of state tries to convince pretoria to sever ties with russia and china. instead, south africa, top diplomat raises concerns that those who are using the countries natural resources are d, stabilizing the region. this fear that we exist under some push is i think, a totally a rear, unfounded. a belief in the relationship that we have with eva country is also a concern about countries that have mineral interest in african countries as a destabilizing force. so i think we need to look at the food for thought of problems that give rise to insecurity, bad governance, and the absence of democracy on the african continent. it's not a one country problem that has anthony blanc and travel super doria with a speech on new policies for african countries. while washington seeks to contain

russian and chinese influence and the region during the trip blank and blame the food prices in africa on the war and ukraine and called for stronger partnership, but the continental to deal with it. we seen the repercussions of russia's warn ukraine are, which are felt across the planet, and especially across africa, in rising food and energy prices. what we seek most of all is a true partnership between the united states and africa. we don't want an imbalanced or transactional relationship and our commitment to a stronger partnership with africa is not about trying to outdo anyone else. is you fall by and is it a tear? it was who we saw the figure in africa from china. so united was a russia and china, me too well to protect it. coinciding with the
2:04 am
visit, the white house released as a document detailing it's new strategy towards sub saharan regents. the plan promotes us involvement in african nations policies, including issues such as pandemic, climate change, and food and security, and while blank and says the u. s. won't tell africa how to behave. it also shows washington, not happy with the continents ties with russia and china. the people's republic of china, by contrast, the region as an important arena to challenge the rules based international order. and we can us relations with african peoples and governments. russia use the region as a permissive environment for paras, stables, and private military companies, often fermenting instability for strategic and financial benefit. u. s. accusations, however, don't prevent deepening ties as china is now south africa's biggest trading partner . moscow trade with the country is also on the rise with monthly exports from
2:05 am
russia. this january growing more than 4 times compared to january of last year. and while the u. s. is still trying to convince the reason that russia and china are the root of all troubles. the african public seems to find more faith and ties with bricks. countries than with the wes. america has been playing with us for a long time. is now time for for bricks to grow. i think i'm more african countries . i encouraged to be better off the brakes. and you can see that the bill of machines are love rica. i'm shoe ice also to spinoffs, rural mom joining that cloud. you have such developed countries now like your, your china or russia region good assist other countries in terms of having to achieve the same living off of in foster child economy that they are in, at this point in time. in it's new strategy. washington also sites a long and proud history of supporting africa. however, jo altman, host of the conservative daily podcast says it's the us who holds responsibility
2:06 am
for destabilizing the continent. i don't think the u. s. has ever respected the sovereignty of other nations and when they talk about destabilization they can look no further than themselves. and the sad part about with the us says, and it's just a bunch of rhetoric and look, i'm, i'm an american and i'm proud to be an american. but the apparatus within the u. s . government has long been a destabilizing force and almost putting at, you know, african, a place where they can't grow, that can't excel at the same rate that other countries across the world are growing . and that has a lot more to do with their natural resources. and how they can get access to those resources. so no, i don't believe they respect the sovereignty of any decision that they make. and i am actually fearful that it's going to become a tug of war and the people of those african natives. 54 nations are the ones that are going to suffer. and the african nations specially south africa does not trust the united states. many nations don't trust united states, i don't think anything the united states does right now will be seen as anything other than grandstanding and making empty promises that they will mirror into the

future not be able to deliver. we're committed now to gaza. we're at least 44 people have been killed and hundreds of wounded after 3 days of israeli bombing airstrikes have ravaged residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure. here's some of the latest, but edge from the same. mm. mm mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. mm. a fragile. see star between israel and the palestinian islamic jihad millicent group purportedly held through monday as hospitals in gaza, struggled to treat the many civilians in your during the weekend of hostilities.
2:08 am
palestinian officials say some 650 buildings were damaged before a truce came into effect on sunday. at the height of the tensions palestinian militants and israeli armed forces exchange rocket barrages and airstrikes. as garza again reels from devastation, the un security council has held an emergency meeting to discuss the tense situation on the ground. the events saw the palestinian observer call for more global attention to the humanitarian situation and gaza. while israel gained support from washington, after it accused the palestinian islamic jihad group of targeting civilians, there is no room for falls narratives. the fact are clear. the palestinian islamic jihad deliberately fired 1100 rockets at these railey civilians with roughly 200 landing inside the gaza. strip killing innocent palestinians and among them young children,
2:09 am
this is not an assessment. this is the hard truth. and israel has all the proof. we fully support israel's right to defend his people against terrorist threats, including from rocket fire, aimed at civilians or without regard to them. and while the u. s. ambassador to the un justifies israel's bombing of gaza as self defense artes. rachel blevins investigates accusations of double standards when it comes to western officials, as views on conflicts and other countries. re days of clashes between israel and the palestinian militant group included a number of what israel called preemptive air strikes on gaza. which left at least 40 for palestinians, dead including 15 children and more than $300.00 wounded. yet despite the photos and videos that were shared across social media, which showed israel clearly targeting heavily populated residential areas, there was virtually no outrage from the west. in fact,
2:10 am
president by that has praise the money the u. s. spent on the iron dome system and says that it saved countless lives in israel, and he is not the only one turning a blind eye to the collateral damage in garza, we absolutely fully support israel's right to defend itself against terrorist groups that are taking the lives of innocent civilians in israel, the u. k. stands by israel and it's right to defend itself. we condemn terrorist groups firing it civilians and violence which has resulted in casualties on both sides. we call for a swift end to the violence. france condemns the firing of rockets into israeli territory and reiterates its unconditional commitment to the security of israel. the focus was mainly on israel's right to defend itself with no questions asked as to why dozens of palestinian civilians were being killed. while the israeli death toll remains at 0, it's clearly a very different approach than the one western leaders have taken in recent months, where they mourned every ukrainian casualty that was reported and used it to
2:11 am
condemn what they called the russian brutality. the u. k. stones united in condemning rushes reprehensible behavior. there were no shades of gray in this conflict. it is about right and wrong. we can't become numb to this. we can't normalize this. this is the reality. what's going on every single day, as long as russia's brutality against ukraine continues? that's why it needs to come to an end. talked on the shouldn't do. international justice must prevail. those who committed these crimes will have to answer for them . and speaking of concern over civilians being killed, those western officials were nowhere to be found when ukraine and it's all turn nationalist killed. thousands and don bass over the last 8 years. not only are the tears reserved for certain cases, but so is the selective terminology west tends to use in their eyes, ukrainians, or heroes, whoever, right, to force their will over regions that have declared their independence. but it's
2:12 am
the palestinians who are labeled as terrorists, even as some of them live under an internationally recognized israeli occupation. and the have blogger see is plain to see as headlines that praised ukrainian defenders now condemned palestinian militants. and that's not the only double standard. the west seems to have. president biden spoke out on sunday saying he welcome the news of a cease fire in gaza, well refusing to condemn his is reli allies for the killing of civilians. however, the u. s. continues to refuse to encourage ukraine to negotiate a truce with russia. in fact, anyone who dares to try and do so. 6 has been met with allegations that they must be pro russian if they are advocating for peace and ukraine. that includes former u. k. labor party leader, jeremy corbett, boring homes in, isn't going to bring about a solution. it's only going to prolong and exaggerate this will. why fi
2:13 am
disappointing is that a hobby? any of the world's leaders use a wood piece and he is not the only one. former german chancellor, gerard schroeder, hungarian, president, victor, oregon, and even henry kissinger have made similar statements. and they have all been accused of being kremlin apologise, and that ukraine appears to be the only place where the west is not allowed to mention peace. and yes, that's including the conflict between kosovo in serbia, where the e u was quick to set up talks or the taiwan strait, where the g 7 immediately called for stability in response to rising tensions between beijing and washington instead of urging for peace ukraine gets even more war as the vine and ministration has approved another $1000000000.00 and lethal aid, which is notably one of its largest packages so far. an apparent reminder that nations are only allowed to defend themselves when the u. s. as they can, just as they are only allowed to pursue peace with their neighbor. if washington is
2:14 am
on board with the plan. same with the palestinian israeli conflict. israel's border police have responded to a claim that an idea of soldier fired at an r t film crew. this is partial footage that does not show the event in its entirety . there were crowds of protesters rallying, throwing stones and bottles at police workers and trying to enter the israeli territory. the forces on the ground fired to disperse the crowds and repel the attacks. and contrary to what has been claimed, no shots were fired at media crews. will not get to share a noticeable concerns on the part of the israeli army that door lee of its poems. oh, the military's fire in right. it us. melissa. no, ever you can see from footage from the live broadcast that was shot. yeah. that was fired at the arctic correspondent, an journalists from other channels. as the arctic camera men filmed israeli forces
2:15 am
moving towards house, any protester on the border with israel. the crew dive for cover, and fortunately nobody was hurt. targeted our t journalists, yahoo us di t has share what happened? well, i'm not home but because the like only when we were an air and israeli military lee co drove up from a side street. there were 2 streets between us and the side of the clashes and military car drove up and stopped right in front of us. we were a few meters away from this military vehicle. and when the camera and started filming this car approached us, and one of the soldiers turned and pointed his rifle at us. this forced us to leave the cameras and run to what's our car. we stayed in the car on the shooting of tear gas grenades, began our camera men came back to pick up the camera. he shouted, the soldier. i'm a journalist. nevertheless, the use of tear gas grenades continued. we got back into the car again, wouldn't leave it until the presenter saw the i'mmy leaving the street said that
2:16 am
they had gone. we returned to pick up our equipment after that we left. in fact, it struck us to some extent because we were standing at this place before the arrival of the army, the army source. there we were wearing clothes as clearly marked with press. when the cameraman saw that the soldier had begun to raise the rifle, he changed the direction to camera, was pointing, making it clear to the soldier that he wouldn't film. and there was no need to shoot or use tear gas grenades and so on. in fact, it shocked us, and it was scary. it was very scary to see these events. in the end, we were able to needs a place without harm to anyone from our group. emma. any? meanwhile, in africa, all eyes are on the canyon elections were poles have opened as voters, and one of the continents largest economies choose a new president to bring a highly contessa grace for the close policy or reports from the ground. a medically station in kenya around is pointed to 1000000 people are eligible to vote
2:17 am
in these elections with the issues, the caption on poverty, unemployment, and corruption. the main reason as to why that when these, if they make sure no one they call the mixture tessie speedy for, you know, accounting. secondly, we have one for these a let's you him to have in mind that a 3 d id when we are lacking that our county has been affected vastly by this a drug called corruption. corruption is what does kill to this country? because you see we have a laurel view, my, a lot of natural resources in this country, but because the of it corruption antibodies, a plan where more than a 1000000 people survive on a dollar a day election posters. it's promising change every way that many goes to complain . it's the usual emptied promises from those vying for the top office. so who are
2:18 am
the main faces in this race? to with the latest figures give rayleigh, think the leader of the opposition, a clear lead? this is his good for the presidency and he's supported by the house going to place it in or who can yes, opposing him is william wooten who appeals to the masses of frustration. young people, most of him clerk who just want to get ahead. he trades on his wags to which the stories that he once sold chickens on the side of the road, and is to day one of the wealthiest men in the country. but it's not going to be as easy for the new president to solve the issues. now robi, for example, is the largest and most important financial business and consultation had in east africa with most of the trade destined for western countries. who had the unmarked kenya, not only as a vice hello plating partner, but also a sort of stability in
2:19 am
a volatile region. the race comes, i've been anxious time with the conflict in ukraine pandemic. the worst drought kenya has faith in the waste. looking in the background, we will see how the new president deals with all of this on his shoulders policy. our team now roby, kenya. a veteran canyon journalist who has covered the country's election for years can both be re says there is much at stake in the ongoing vote. this election is important because it comes up with all aspects to the. so surely only conflict for life been tested. one of the issue that comes strongly is the issue of the economy, the really bad, the cost of living is high people looking up to the new government plan $60.00 and to the point where it's being reduced to our basic food being too much then to pull
2:20 am
it up for the basic food and to that is the issue of governance out of this governance used to have what's called corruption, something that has been bleeding this country for years, didn't it wasting resources and cause and a lot of frustration, a lot of government, public research end up in people's private pocket. so this is a big issue. so how do we, the thing is, is going to be fixing the economy. fresh footage, apparently showing cab troops dropping a bomb on russian soldiers is spreading on pro ukrainian social media accounts. a warning you might find the following images distressing. the unverified video appears to show the group moving in to retrieve what appears to be a body from the battlefield. a bomb is then dropped directly onto them from a drone. the soldiers are seen scattering from the effects of the blast, and it's not clear, if any of them are killed, finished journalists, news,
