ah, a with russia deny claims that the major ukrainian 5 back in north calling to report a western route to encourage the sending of more weapons to kia queen elizabeth the 2nd you case. the longest ruling, monica dies, aged 9670 years on the throne, spanned mutual period in which britons rolling global affairs steadily declined. pond. the news comes with a difficult time for the country with newly appointed prime minister live trust on

the political opposition at loggerheads over plans to tackle the ongoing energy prices. also coming up south africa host, the world's 2nd biggest industrial exhibition. we're cutting edge technology to thousands of investors with it's one minute past 6 am on friday morning in the russian cap. so my name is peter scott and wherever you join us from, welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. they are not now stop, stop story this hour. there can be no talk of ukrainian breakthrough. that's what's rushes and voids the un. but silly napoleon just said, falling reports the key of how successfully launched a counter offensive on the northern front lines. japanese green has taken several villages, but of course there can be no talk of any break for military experts are well aware of this,

but the media have already trumpeted to the ukraine has lost the cancer offensive, which needs to be supposed by new western weapons. thus the necessary media background was created for the median in one sign, which is exactly what he and his wife must is wanted. and this means that there is every chance that the ukrainian conflict will continue to be filled with new deliveries of western weapons. officials in co piano, which is a russian controlled city in the park of region. so the fortifications are being built up as they wait reinforcements. although neither ukraine or russia have given any further details on the fighting. western media have reported that ukrainian troops have been some 20 kilometers deep into russian controlled areas. meanwhile, russian bytes authorities in a so then ukrainian cities of n a ga dot mill. it's awful say that electricity supplies that have been cuts off earlier. joe strike was reported on an air good does. main administrative building . local officials are calling it an attempt to terrorist attack. and you can see

now some images from that scene. the drone used in the arc is said to being carrying an improvised explosive device which detonated on the roof. now the city is located close to the upper ocean nuclear power plants, which both sides have blamed each other for shoving. meanwhile, and italian reports has been wounded by a ukrainian mind while covering cubes. movements in the south of the country versus soldiers came to his age. this footage shows the damage vehicle that had been carrying the journalist to the contact line. he was reportedly abundant by ukrainian soldiers who had been accompanying him. his driver died on the spot here . awesome. first hand accounts from those of this you a show mean

we were in position when we heard an explosion, we reached a car and realized it was a foreigner who did not speak russian. well, we understood that he was of military journalist, marcia, from italy, from milan. we gave him 1st aid as he had multiple shrapnel wounds. he was then given something to counter the pain. and after that, we pulled him from the car and carried him through the minefield. ukrainian troops were firing at us and we staggered our movements so as not to get hit. but in the end, everything went fine. while a journalist is now receiving medical treatments and his life is understood to be out of danger. queen elizabeth the 2nd has passed away at the british royal family's residence in scotland after recurring health problems. she was 96 years old. dozens of people gathered near london's buckingham palace as news of her death spread, and the british flag was lowered on all government buildings across the u. k.

earlier this year, the queen celebrated her platinum jubilee marking 70 years on the throne, with the appointments of a new prime minister just this week. her reign spend 15 you k leaders starting with none other than winston churchill. the oldest son has now become king. charles is king charles the 3rd. let's take a quick look now at the legacy of queen elizabeth the 2nd britton's longest rule in monic. my margaret. i feel too much for you to share. danger. ah. renew every one. in the end all will be well. ah. she came in mechanic and a driver, and she sat up with normal other girl recruits in classrooms and learned how to take thought the trucks. i the cab before my eyes,

whether it be known or short, shall be made to deal with the carroll family, which when i was in my train i oh i, i had the chance to join in the shed objective of creating a safer, stable future of her people and from the planet on which we depend. none of us underestimates the challenges ahead. that history ition. but when nations come

together in common cause there is always room for working side by side. we have the amenities to show the most in surmountable problems and triumph over the greatness of adversity. for more than 70 years, i have been lucky to me and to know many of the world's great leaders. and i have perhaps come to understand a little abroad, what made them special, the united kingdom and around the world. people have risen magnificently to the challenges of the and i'm so proud and moved by this class in domain to most spirit to young people in particular. i say thank you for the part you have played me. ah,

we will meet again. but for now, i send my thanks and warm a good wishes to all. queen elizabeth, the 2nd was the leader of the british commonwealth, bringing together more than 50 countries. the sense of support has been called into question in recent years, particularly in africa. as artsy correspondent, policy explains, well, if i can provide you the perspective chair from africa, of course, for many the queen is a symbol of the greatness of the u. k. but she's also a symbol of its demise. you have many countries in the world, particularly countries here in africa that gained independence from the crown during her reign. and mrs. despite her attempts through the commonwealth to re establish the empire, the queen never acknowledged any wrong doings. on behalf of the royal family or on behalf of the u. k. in terms of its colonial history and its colonial policies here

in africa. so for example, if you take south africa we, i am. if you had to ask the average person in the street, what they think of the british royal family, many of them associated with south africa's colonial past. and that colonial past obviously paved the way for the implementation of parties. i must mention at the same time though, that the queen was friends with the iconic freedom lead and nelson mandela. and she was seen as part of the soft power that patricia on the apartheid government and bought about its demise. having said that, though the queen paid little attention to africa, she seldom mention to africa. and all her attempts to keep the empire alive through the commonwealth did not seem to work here amongst african countries. this sentiment expressed in the next clip is very much representative of the feeling on

the ground here, amongst many africans, she was becoming irrelevant here. we know about chinese president jim ping or russian president vladimir putin, not the queen. this was her feeling on the ground that with the passing of the queen, the commonwealth itself might become irrelevant. so, with the queen now gone, you have issues of me or colonialism. issues of african poverty. no longer receiving any more attention than they did when she was alive. so it's no wonder then, many here still that the u. k. has lost africa, largely because again, many people here will tell you that the queen simply did not care about this continent. i was just thinking about the start of africa. i mean, it was the color and diamond that was found in south africa basically and was given was named after the man you are in the mind. he was given basically to the royal family on the things we have about $400000000.00. right? back crown and building calls for it to be returned to africa in terms reparations

. i mean, i, you know, it's a very difficult one when you think about how many countries we're talking about and how many people were talking about reparation. everything from slavery to colonialism. i still don't saying england's origination anymore that they can actually afford to come up with reparation. in the cynics say, the commonwealth is the british empire on the cheap, which i suppose if you look at it that you can, it's difficult to argue with that. but then again, having said that, despite breaks it, which i don't think is done, the nation any good at all. and what i think is that there will be attempts to keep the commonwealth together. i'm anything, any form of brotherhood of nations is a good thing. no matter who you are, which country you are. oh, queen elizabeth the 2nd assumed the throne in the twilight of the british empire, and therefore had to build relations with one of his biggest and brightest former colonies, india on more, mutually beneficial terms. i wasn't always

a successful endeavour as our season under sharma explains. the 2nd has never really been the queen of india, but she was the 1st one not to be crowned both in the board independence. she was, in fact, last witness of british empire in all its glory in the norm as a jewel in the british crown. and i mean that both figuratively and literally, literally because the jewell in the british crown. and the queen crown has been the infamous diamond court, who knew from india, i'm figuratively because it's been the richest colony that has been ruled by the brit. in fact, in her, your lean, the queen has with it is in the pre sign for, for the sign with the only 15 years off it, india was in defendants. in fact, she seemed to india in 1961, the 1983, and then 1990. so home

a lot with it particularly did not without candle. that's when she 1st went to pockets on and then drilled him to be in dire need to be a despite the common ra practice of not starting a poor and when the ticket is specially when they're fanning. that was a list her father, king george fix. that was the last who are in india until august of 1947. it was in his new will of that india was divided into 2 into majority india. and what's the majority focused on ever since that the 4th lines of india have never really been of the bed. but of course then to now there are. * lots of developments that india has seen in the 75 year old or the feeder that india gordon. you're also, or what the in the u. k as the 5th largest economy. so india really has been

in a sense, both economically and politically. and the queen has seen at all american journalist carry harrison says that the made to change during the queen's rule was a reliance on the united states. i think everyone in the united states speaks fondly over as long as we don't actually have to supplicate before a king or queen in any other country, anywhere else in the world. we could be fans at an arm's length. ah, we do not forget our revolution. we do not forget what it was like to be under an oppressive mantle, at least at the time under george 3rd. but it's been very chummy with queen elizabeth. indeed, we had bretton woods in 1944, which basically turned the british empire over to the united states to have the world's military joy. and the british would handle the financial end of it. so it's been a really a lovely marriage ever since. and staying in britain,

the newly appointed u. k. prime minister list trust, as announced her pun for sucking the ongoing energy crisis, but she immediately faced backlash from british opposition. politicians. he said it's her proposal that she failed to help ordinary people. it seemed that the government has decided to deal with this energy causes of the facts of ordinary hard working brick with 150 years worth of gas under the grind and gp it is possible it might have to turner back on that resource at a time when people are facing huge energy bills, the prime minister is right to recognize that immediate support needs to be combined with long term action. but i'm afraid frank king, on a dash for gas in the north sea, will not comp bills nor sprint from our energy security, but they will drive a coke shouldn't force his draw efforts to fight the looming climate crisis. the government has lifted

a ban on fracking for sale gas in england while unveiling plans to limits rising energy costs. now the controversial parties was halted back in 2019 amid opposition from environmentalists and locals, who were concerned over earth. thomas alexander mackay political analyst and editor of red star radio. when he says that prime minister no longer has a long term solution vantage prices, they run into a series of political problems last time. the government tried this 10 years ago and has no sign that they have a comprehensive plan to develop these energy sources to a degree that would actually impact upon the bills that people are paying at the moment. and the, the, the other stuff regarding the support to individual households is mainly around the freezing of energy prices. at the current level of over 2 and a half 1000 pounds a year. they have decided to go ahead with a strategy of essentially i'm trying to stave off the crisis for the winter and

hope that they can get into the spring of next year. and that some other solution will present itself. so none of what has been announced this week actually deals with the, the long term problems that have been facing britain in the energy sector for almost 1st years. it's a short term mis response from las truss. designed to generate headlines mainly and will make it look as if she is doing something. i see no evidence that list truss or her chancellor quasi quite sank or any of the others in the cabinet have a longer term view than just evading or the immediate crisis. in other news and exhibition of mining equipment comes to a close in south africa to a day after 4 days of what's been billed. the world's 2nd biggest industrial exhibition. alexa, mining africa has a 50 year history and his 2018 expose saw 30000 people visit and this year has an

incredible 600 different exhibitions. while our fee correspondence corolla sutler brings us more details for 50 years. electro mining africa has been a cornerstone exhibition for businesses and professionals in the mining electrical automation manufacturing, power, and transportation industries. from all over the continent. but following a to yeah, i 8 is due to the coven. 19 pandemic. is my annual event is back with a bay. the vest wag group is a brazilian company expending into the bricks. countries with presence in china, india, and now south africa that countries decades long, chronic electricity challenges present an opportunity for new bricks. putnam, by getting our efficiency hire usually each step of deficiencies around 20 percent less losses. we are making available more energy for everyone. we

are actually capable of doing less costs for the total cost of ownership from our customers. and at the same time, help growth on, on, industry and overall country because we're lowering the losses on, on the grid. energy shortages and power cuts in south africa have curtailed growth across economic landscape. for years mining has been the bedrock of south africa, g, d, p. but some investors say it's not all doom and gloom. some university really dog summary. some of you know see struggling off the money industry. is it still grew you until now? now thought because the current, the, you for a serve slowly go away. so i think a loss also, governments will be how, when there's a plan rebuild to plan. the reconstruction plane for south africa would have to include the rebuilding of the country's dilapidated railways. millions of dollars worth of public infrastructure has been vandalized and stolen. but for mining

companies, server thing of their own railway infrastructure. it's a non negotiable conditions. underground months have many, many kilometers a rail and the ground at require maintenance due to corrosion of tricks and, and upkeep of the tracks. and this product allows the ro maintenance crews to come cut out sections, replace them with sections, or in cases where the cages have go underground, aren't able to accommodate long rail sections. they pre cut the rails done and roll them, and it, and it allows that the operation to be completely repetitive, with perfect tolerances for fall, the connections they impact of the global pandemic and economic decline that was already visible in the south african economy. prior to coven 19, have all shown as what light on the effectiveness of the partnerships that south africa has. and more and more company from the developing world, continue to think and find opportunities in each other's economy. and the sentiment

here and electro mining africa conference is that sustainable solutions and partnerships in the energy and mining sector. it's exactly what countries like south africa need right now that i'm willing to attain join is very for oddity international share, short sightedness as the you, you are reportedly prepared to decide if a visa facilitation deal with moscow will be suspended. were supposed murray as a carver blasts, those trains have been tourist visas for russians. looking to enter several baltic states and poland. i told the chick much talk it through the weird call that freedom of movement is guaranteed by a number of international legal documents. we require confirmation that for our citizens and the international community, these documents are now dead for the baltic countries of estonia. lapierre, lithuania, along with poland. it's now clear to everyone that the basis of e u. b. 's acceptance is a statement divorced from reality. according to which,

visiting e u countries, as they say, is some kind of privilege that must be earned for loyalty in support for each policy. many people ask, are these snoo divine alliance, a barrier or an iron curtain? of course not. this is an example of stupidity short sightedness and a lack of connection with his standards of civilization. there are so much talked about in the west. yes. well, the full countries are preparing to introduce a ban on russians entering their territory on september. the 19th or the european council is to decide to day if it's visa facilitation deal with moscow will be suspended. now that would leave many russian sorest look into trouble that you facing a more expensive and difficult application process also contributes. rachel mawson has more. remember that lines on george or wells dystopian novel animal farm, that all animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others. while the european union seems to have

ripped a page from orwell, with its new visa policy for russian citizens, which has just been officially published. so under the new rules, russians will have to pay more for a visa to visit e. u. 80 euro's instead of 35 processing could take up to 45 days as opposed to the current 10 to 15. and multiple entry visas will be tougher to get. the e has also said that it could ask for more documents from applicants. the question is, what kind of added information could they request? and this is where they risk betraying their own stated principles. because apparently the e considers that some russians are indeed more equal than others. but who exactly the e u will remain open to certain categories of russian visa applicants traveling for essential purposes, including notably family members of you, you citizens, journalists, dissidence and civil society representatives. so in other words, there is a political litmus test for a you entry, rush and dissidence,

and civil society representatives who denounced their homeland and adhere to the you and western agenda will get a green light. it's no hard to imagine. that's what the e e was referring to when referencing the extra information that they could request from visa applicants. but the you itself denounces discrimination on the basis of quote, political or any other opinion. it's right there in black and white on the commission on website. any discrimination based on any grounds such as sex, race, color, ethnic, or social origin, genetic features, language, religion, or belief, political or any other opinion. membership of a national minority property, birth disability age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited. discrimination on the basis of birth is also a no, no for the you, but that hasn't stopped baltic, you member states, lithuania, latvia, and estonia from unilaterally. planning

a total russian visitor ban at land border crossings for later this month. and on september, 1st, finland, cat, the number of visits issued to russians by 90 per cent. all this means that russian visitors to the e u who enter through land crossings in these neighboring states. because we call that direct flights between the you and russia have been suspended, are being singled out. these member states are violating the e principle, not to discriminate against people based on birth. and brussels. well, really doesn't seem to mind. apparently, when it comes to russia, anything goes for the you. as long as the end justifies the means. with us your panel today, we all the latest news from around the world. do you feel free to head over to all t dot com for more stories and analysis on peter scott's on the back again at the top of the hour. thank you for watching. ah
