i couldn't say the us well profit care from europe's fuel crisis way can get the big bucks, thanks to gas sell to the you with a very warm welcome to you. this is alrighty. international with the latest world news update is good to have you with us that we begin with breaking news from the u . k. queen elizabeth the 2nd has passed away amid recurring health problems. she was 96 years old. the queen had been last seen in public on tuesday as she welcomed incoming prime minister in this trust. well, let's take a moment now and look back at the legacy of queen elizabeth the 2nd person's longest ruling monarch. one of the most iconic figures in world history, queen elizabeth the 2nd devoted her life to her country, serving for 70 years. she became

a head of state who's rain lost in all british monarchs and most world leaders. born in april 1926. it was unlikely that she would ever become queen as the princess was 3rd in line to the throne. but a dramatic and unprecedented sequence of events. so her officially crowned at the age of 27. the country became elizabeth the united and sometimes dis, united kingdom. when the new elizabeth in area began, she had more than 70 overseas territory. but the empire she inhabited and was in crisis or coronel an atmosphere of revolt, an insurrection. britain gave up colony off the colony from africa to asia. the commonwealth bears no resemblance to the parts of the past. it is an entirely new conception built in friendship loyalty and the desire for freedom and peace. to that new conception of an equal partnership of nations and races, i shall give myself heart and soul every day of my life. she and her husband prince

philip, begun to mark a new era for the monarchy, embracing their old duty, and they fortunate glamorous public image as they to the commonwealth. queen elizabeth was one of the most traveled heads of state in history, visiting more than 100 countries and establishing walk about as a regular practice for the rules. from j a k to boris yeltsin, the most famous woman in the world held her own, among some of the most formidable leaders. she also worked hard to maintain her popularity, home keeping the common touch became a key feature of her reign. but the queen's monarchy wasn't without adversity. her silver jubilee coincided with economic hardships and political em rest of the 1970s . and in 1981, she was shot at by a member of the public during the tripping of the color parade. thankfully with blank bullets. a serious fire tall through winter carsley 1992. when that same year, her daughter prince, as anne, was divorced,

while the separations were announced in marriages of both prince charles and prince andrew, leading the queen to famously described the year as her annas. horrible. this tragedy followed 5 years later, when diana princess of wales, who dedicated herself to charitable causes and became a global icon, died in a car accident in paris. while the death of queen elizabeth sister, princess margaret, as well as the death of the queen's mother, cast a shadow over her golden jubilee celebrations. under her reign, the british monarchy reformed. she agreed to pay income tax, open buckingham palace and windsor castle to the public for the 1st time. but when it came to government matters, she left politics to the politicians. she was reportedly close to churchill, but her relationship with the so called i, in lady prime minister, margaret thatcher, was arguably

a complicated one. she tried to remain above politics, was a few hints like comments on scottish independence. and that blue and yellow heart during the breaks it referendum were perhaps possible signs of expressing her opinion. the queen wasn't one to shy away from new opportunities through embracing social media with royal facebook, youtube, and instagram profiles. but long before sending her very 1st e mail in 1976. then there was her famous cameo appearance alongside daniel craig is james bond for the opening of the 2012 olympics in 2011. the marriage between her grandson, prince william and kate middleton, brought the monarchy into the spotlight across the world, along with the birth of prince george. 2 years later, her diamond jubilee that followed thereafter was also marked by the beginning of a new era of tenuous peace between monarchists and separatists. in the relationship

with northern ireland. when she shook hands with the former iraqi leader, martin mcguinness, prince harry married megan markelle, an american actress after the queen gave her blessing. it was a most watch tv event in the u. k that year and drew a global audience of almost 2000000000, but 2 years later, in a shock to the family, the couple decided to step away from royal duties comes and set up home in the united states and happiness. i move which undoubtedly affected the queen. however, in the words of the queen herself, the huge void in her life was left when her loving husband of 73 years. prince philip, the duke of edinburgh passed away at the age of 99 in 2021. despite the loss of her gar prone husband until her last days she believed in the phrase. you are old as you feel. often in good spirits and regularly spotted driving around the windsor estate and entertaining her many grandchildren. she was a dignified malec,

greatly loved by royalists, but also one respected across the globe. known for her sense of duty and devotion to a life of service. well as close to our correspondent polis leah. now paula: if c, n 2 and historic 70 a rain in the, in to of an era for many and breast, and you've never known any other monarch on the throne during that lifetime. so a significant day for many to say the least one more. can you tell us well, yes, the her majesty. queen elizabeth the 2nd has died. we received the confirmation a short time ago. she died at the age of $96.00, bringing to an end a 17 year reign. now she was the longest serving monarch in the u. k. and the 2nd longer serving monarch in the history of the world for many the queen is, was associated with the greatness of the u. k. the united kingdom. but for many,

she was also a symbol of its demise because of course, it was during her reign that many countries, particularly countries here in africa, separated and gained independence from the crown. and although later they were attempts to the establishment of the commonwealth to rebuild the empire, of course, it never reached the greatness if you like, of what at once was not the queen never acknowledged any kind of wrong doings of the world, family, or of the u. k for it's colonial policies. and particularly for example, here on the ground in south africa. if you had our south africans what they think of the royal family. many associated with the colonial past of this country. that gave some kind of background that led to the establishment and the creation of a parties. the although i must mention that the queen herself, was friends with the iconic leader, nelson mandela. and for many,

she was part of the so called soft power. that put pressure that brought about an end to the parties. but having said all of that, the queen herself very seldom mentioned africa. she paid little attention to this continent and all attempts to buy her to keep the empire with the commonwealth do not seem to have made too much of a difference in africa. the feeling of many people here is summed up by the sentiments of the social activist. she's becoming irrelevant here. we know about chinese presidency, jan pin, or russian president vladimir putin. not the queen. ah, not only the feeling that the queen is becoming irrelevant, but also the feeling that with her passing, the commonwealth itself might become irrelevant. you certainly have a situation that with the queen now gone. you have issues of neo colonialism and

issues of the problems that africa is facing. no longer being paid he to and granted the queen herself didn't pay too much attention to them either. so no wonder then that many here in the continent feel that the u. k. is losing africa for many people. it's simply because a simple way of putting it is that the queen really didn't care too much about this continent. paula: any thanks, wednesday, south arthur t. a paula se lia there. well, let's discuss this further. now let's cross over to add shem returns the journalist dash in good to see on the program. now, the parsing of queen elizabeth this secondary, she rained in person for more than 70 years to what impact will her pathing have on the future of the country. and in particular on the monarchy. well, she's not just the most famous woman in the world. how gib lee had just saying that arguably tells us more about the state of the world in the states of queen

elizabeth the 2nd legacy. i mean, like any 96 year old, great grandmother of is the anyone watching is bound to want to give their condolences to the relatives of queen elizabeth the 2nd. but i think come paula lira in south africa, there was just a alluding to the african, the impact of the monarchy. it should be said that she only heard that she was to be queen member she, she never thought she was going to be queen when she was very young, was only because of the, a neo nazi, actually not near nazi. nazi sympathizing uncle edward the 8th, the abdication that she became in the running to be queen and she 1st heard about it on the death of her father. george. the 5th in kenya are just around the time of the brutal mom, our repression that killed so many canyons fighting imperialism in the crowd and say, the netflix series, you don't really hear about her thinking, you know,

at the canyon population and that struggle while she's there in the treetops learning that she will be queen and why she has a death mean so much to so many world leaders is obvious because it is. if it shows time passing in a very profound way. i'm in dubai very quick. i'm not your one of the firstly busy here in dubai, the, the router of device take muhammad, saying we joined the world in morning. the passing of her majesty cleaners are the 2nd the global icon. and then that goes very quickly on to saying at her incredible lifetime of service and usage of united kingdom unparalleled in our modern world. and i think that's the point that britain did allow a monarchy to continue. most western european countries do will have had his faith, who are an elective. and of course, we can see the waning of that one. article power in you go polls. as recently as

may 41 percent of 18 to 24 year olds went to abolish the monarchy. when it came to a platinum jubilee. even that 54 percent according to you go pulling organization not interested in the platinum jubilee. there are a huge changes that have occurred during her lifetime, and yet, as i said on even the talent, terry and television, let's be fair. in anglo saxon media, they may admit that anyone living in britain, the queen, was a constant in their lives, in some way. with the passing of the queen of co starts the reign of the printer. king charles the 3rd about going to get some take some guessing you do well. what kind of changes do you expect tell you if any and what do you think the impact will be on the the form of birth is colonies. for example, india, which was always known as the jewel in the crown of the british empire. well, i think li, the hatred all the legacy of the british empire is getting increasingly evident as

publics get more and more educated. that's why even in britain it's down to 60 percent in support. that means 40 percent. they went to violent be over there. the we want to get, who knows, king charles, the 3rd he to magically becomes king in before the coronation. according to the vagaries of the 60 and 88 glorious revolution which made the most different to what it was before him. charles, the 3rd, obviously the press. it'll be that relations with the press where to because he was caught with 2000000 in cash in a suitcase just in the past few weeks. and then these sorts of little scandals that add to the weight of colonial history that is only there is on the backs of the monarchy and that they have to fight. that will be increasingly important to diana . that is my wife is all forgotten. it was famous the, the green, who had to take advice from tony blair, the,

the accused allege war criminal of iraq when it came to be able to sort out the problems caused by the death of diana. so i think charles will show her up via the it is not that hannah should have been queen it is, is president present wife. but of course, in the mean amongst all of that is the, is the kind of strange relationship between the british establishment. the b. c had to give money away because it now is that the british more cause to which british people have to pay on pain of imprisonment to be able to watch the programming was involved somehow in the reduction of the security diane or the like. she died, who knows what the netflix series is, the crown will have an impact, very all, and all the time the cost of living prices goes on and that winter of extreme cold contrast. so hugely, with one of them only get $345000000.00 pounds

a year. the sovereign grow just worth the irish presidency. by contrast ahead of state cost 4800000 euros. and as for a case in william prince charles, the children, the only just now announced that they required a 4th house in addition to a kensington palace room and 10 bedroom house in sandringham. it sat class war that continues under the surface in britain, and especially now because of britain, unrelenting support, not just for ukraine, but for the oil companies and gas majors and big, monopolistic energy companies. that means that people will get more weary of inequality in british society when it comes to the british press. i feel they were always very fond of be of the queen and the in the be the british public as well the thing. but now we have king charles the 3rd few think that the about attitude will change the same way that the bell also become more kindly which will be more

critical. i certainly think that the huge fossil fuel companies weren't like it would have been sha south middling to try and that's climate catastrophe. and you know, i mean, i'm sure the queen's closest friends would say really with the breast in the middle stairs. the guys is, the press rightly pointed down that the lowest paid servants of queen elizabeth were being having the pay for how much she was taking more fully. and there are so many stories about how she fought not to pay income to fax and so on. and, and the breast covered them, and of course, the press, most notably have caused the greatest misery by covering the tribulations of prince andrew. and so it was always long to attack those closest to her and not much of the time after. now, how do you think worth and role in the world will change? now we've lost the queen. well, already at the end of last year,

barbados said they didn't want queen elizabeth. the 2nd, anyone near their being and of state and other countries were set to follow the fact that queen elizabeth have been the final few months trying to get prince charles to become an elected head of the commonwealth. this bizarre, some might say, grouping of brotherly countries and just for the countries who had been brutalized by the british empire, that didn't work very well. so i think we will see members of the commonwealth, those countries where they have or is it of state to cease to have a british monarchy that seems to be the way it's going. and also, i must remember that when there was a q in australia, in the seventy's golf whitlow, who is a progressive prime minister there was overthrown by the governor general. the queen was supposed to intervene and papers showed she refused to do so. so what, what impact it'll have in australia as well,

but certainly some people and certainly those ones are most the monica will be seeing this as that she is the lowest female monarch of britain. and perhaps charles, what we've already king. so they can't say he'll be the last, the george, the 5th largest male monarch, babs, that's charles will be the last king and thanks for joining us on the playground with him speaking to journalists, the action returns the thank you for your time. the government has declared a national period of mourning for 10 days until the queen's funeral. ah ah,

[000:00:00;00] i will meet again. but for now i send my thanks and warm and good wishes to all. moving on to ukraine now we're rushing. reinforcements are entering the north east in hong kong region to both the defense is there. according to local moscow, facts officials is comes to meet and confer and reports of a ukrainian offensive in the area. officials in young ski rushing control city and the cock of regions say that fortifications are being built up as they await more troops. reinforcements will bring you more information on that as it comes in. meanwhile, rushing back to authorities in the southern ukrainian cities of no good. and millet,

many copel's se electricity supplies have been cancelled there. earlier, there was a drone strike on an exit doors main administration building. the city is located close to the embattled sampled osha, a nuclear power plant, officially calling get an attempted terrorist attack. these are the latest images we have from the scene of the kamikaze drone carrying an improvised explosive device destination on the roof of the building. authorities have recovered and now examining the remains of the v a v and say there were no casualties in the time constant on bus, at least one person has been wounded in the latest ukrainian shelling of don't. yes, according to local officials. they say that have also been increasing numbers of civilians wounded by internationally band petal mines, which are being scattered across residential areas by the ukrainian military ortiz,

non concert reports on the grounds. xanax trauma sensor continues to receive wounded civilian said this morning, another woman was wounded here in the next not far away from this hospital. she received her injuries to her arm. thankfully, her daughter was very close to her and called an ambulance issues, promptly delivered here to the hospital and the doctors it everything to save her arm right now. i will talk to her and she will tell me about what happened. yes, leonard, i am what signal madonna felt i was walking to work when the blessed suddenly came a piece of shrapnel in my arm. the doctors pulled it out and i will be i'm sick leave. now. i was treated quickly without a cue and everything is all right now. the daughters at the da nascar trauma center are working 24, a 7 in order to help the a wounded patience look at it, but also some of them are arriving not in ambulances. so their relatives are bringing them here by themselves,

according to the head of the local trauma sensor. a lot of the wounds it are, those who stepped on the prohibited anti personnel mines, so called butterfly mines. and this is what he told me about the latest injuries, non smoker horror do. see the situation in the city remains tense. the wounded already brought us this morning. recently, more than 20 patients were brought in with wounds from pestle mines. in 11 cases, limbs had to be amputated. these are very dangerous weapons designed to main people instead of killing them. artillery shelling of the nest by ukrainian nationalist continues on a daily basis. killed and wounded civilians is a daily affair at the moment. oh, so civilian infrastructure is suffering as well. there is no running water in and ask at the moment, so a lot of places are without electricity. this hospital also has no water supply.

so local government are delivering water in trucks like these in order to make sure that this hospital is functioning properly. room on cost or have ard see done next people's republic. turkish nita rita typo, unsafe grain is not leaving ukraine to poor countries as was initially promised and his instead going to the wealthy ones and he's pledged to work out a solution to the issue together with russian president vladimir putin barbecue. kim good will, says mr. prudence right, about one thing for sure. grand is being shipped to wealthy countries and unfortunately not to poor countries. i will discuss this issue with mr. prudent at the seo summit and some are conte. we also want to start grain supplies from russia . we're looking forward to that. let's begin this process and deliver the cargo to the countries that really need it. on statement comes to the day after vladimir putin pulls up the issue with the eastern economic form,

saying that only 2 cargo ships out of $87.00 have taken ukrainian grain to africa. while the lion's share went to europe, who was in the queue, western countries of deceiving other nations over the grain, dale, and say, the agreement should now be re evaluated. according to an est, ample based center for monitoring the grain dale, only 30 percent of ukrainian grain has reached to low income countries. meanwhile, western leaders of also have been criticized for failing to financially support african nations. as ortiz maria phenomena reports the west war is a lot about losing ground to russia in africa. at least that's what a confidential internally you report shows. and that's after we've seen some desperate attempts to fix things as a number of us and european leaders. and top politicians recently visited the african continent trying to convince that public and decision makers there that they are loyal friends. but their actions don't really seem to be matching their

words. on monday, the netherlands held the african adaptation summit, the 1st of its kind to help the continent tackle the full out of climate change, 3 african presidents, flu, thousands of miles to be there. so what about western leaders? only one, the dutch prime minister, the host of the venue turned up in person. and the high profile african guests were not impressed. i cannot help but note with some bitterness, the absence of leaders from the industrial world. i think if we made the effort to leave africa to come to rotterdam, you'll be easier for the europeans and others to be here. i associate myself wholly with these sentiments of precedence mackey sell about. the failure of certain vested interests to be present with us at this meeting. it is my turn to us to deplore the absence of leaders of industrialized nations strong words the snob by western liter as seems even more unacceptable given that their nations are responsible for the majority of carbon emissions in the world. as the african

participants pointed out. because these are the main polluters of our planet, and it is they who should finance adaptation. the african continent has the smallest impact on climate change, but paradoxically suffers the majority of its consequences. in fact, africa all are responsible for 3 percent of global carbon emissions. and yet it bears the brunt of the climate crisis as the most vulnerable continent. despite having contributed the least to global warming and having the lowest emissions, africa faces exponential collateral damage, posing systemic risks to its economies. infrastructure investments, water and food systems, public health, agriculture and livelihoods threatening to undo its modest development gains and slipped into higher levels of extreme poverty. the perceived disrespect of western or is, wasn't the only topic on the agenda. some of the promises industrialized nations

made but have failed to meet. we're also discussed. we find that australia, canada, and the u. s. continue to fall massively short on international climate finance. the u. s. is overwhelmingly responsible for the climate finance gap having provided just 5 percent of its fair share in 2020. although it's economy is 40 percent larger than the european union's. it provided only 112th as much climate finance. but are any of those countries even listening, according to the use climate, had reached nations, couldn't care less that african suffer from what westerners are responsible for? because they're simply too busy with their own 1st world problems. let's be frank. many of our citizens in europe will not buy this argument today because i worries a link to their own existence in his energy crisis and his food crises in his inflation crisis. this might seem very strange from an african perspective, but it is always was closer to your o mores is always bigger on your agenda than someone else's worries. a controversial statement at a time when western leader is

a telling their own citizens to be prepared to rush an energy cost their food consumption and perhaps haven't trees. because of the v re sanctions they imposed on russia. while the fact that the africans are literally dying due to western policies, isn't alarm enough for them to take action. the summit by all accounts confirmed what, what am i putting pointed out recently at the st. an economic form. when he revealed that most of the grain shaped from unblocked ukrainian ports went to the you while only 2 out of 87 boats actually went to africa. and it's not easy to argue with that after seeing what happened at the summit in the netherlands, a chance to call parade, to help fix their mistakes, to create an equal partnership and prove their commitment all successful ignored and leased by western countries. re phenomena r t the eastern economic forum, a key international platform for building

a boosting, ties between russian and international investors, wraps up on buzz. say that a my putin attended before him along with some other key leaders to discuss world issues on further cooperation. the business program included dialogues with leading partner countries in the asia pacific region, particularly within the format of the on the on group of rapidly developing nations in southeast asia. my mom's deputy information minister emphasized the importance of his country working with russia to cast off the west and during colonial mindset regarding his country. he rashadi glued cool. we must all unite to ensure peace around the globe, western countries fuel they are in charge, the world. they still have a colonial mentality. so we need to stick together more than 90 countries have participated in the eastern forum with numerous business people. that's a sign that russia is not isolated from the rest of the world. we understand the
