a, a, a ukrainian army suffers heavy load is in a care thorn region, is here twice the weeks to break through. russian defences. this as the region prepared for a referendum to join russia. i'm going to exchange prisoners of war with russians. so just being swapped for ukrainian service men, including members of the as of battalion, also ahead, we must, the president, treat all conflicts across the globe with equal indignation, south african speaker at the un general assembly a to the west of double standards. that's what the us courts assigned as russia,

a violating un principal on south africa with strengthening military cooperation with russia. the country hosts the largest military expert on the continent with welcome it's 10 am here in moscow, and this is our t international with the latest world news update is good to have you with this out . and we begin with the latest from the conflicts in ukraine where kia has, once again showed the city of cast stone in the south of the country, is the latest footage from there. as you can see, a local fire station has been heavily damaged, emergency services. i've reported that some people were injured reports state that a barge used by local civilians across a river was also head earlier. local journalists said, russian missile defense systems intercepted a rocket attack on the city. well, this comes with the wage and prepares for,

for rent on becoming part of the russian federation. ukrainian armed forces are attempting a major offensive when pushed into the castle in region. however, as the russian defense ministry has been reporting for several weeks. now the efforts have been unsuccessful and here is losing thousands of soldiers, then i'll corresponded more guns swings as this report amassed ukrainian military formation, almost 300 troops, backed by dozens of tanks and armored vehicles. launch as a surprise attack on a russian held village in camps on region. but the defenders were waiting ah rockets, me solve shells. rain down on the ukrainian offensive bodies piled the fields quickly, stalls and turns into

a route before him he ran those who could get away and he left behind their dead and wounded. they also abandoned their vehicles, armored personnel carriers, fire support vehicles and a tank all of this in just one battle by book by those and their morale is broken and the prisoners confirm this. so they say they don't want to fight. yesterday, he was a plumber. today's, he's given a gun and told to fight or they don't want to fight. they don't know how to learn. due to security concerns. we have been asked not to name the settlement where the battle took place. it is still too dangerous to visit, but abandoned ukrainian armour is already being hauled away as a trophy vehicle. ukrainian btr 3 you abandoned several days ago by ukrainian soldiers who were driven to attack russian positions failed and left behind. all their belongings lost amounts of ammunition, clothes,

gear weapons. but inside it is entirely inside. it is entirely intact. the thermal side, snyde vision, everything's in working order, the vehicle ah, can go under its own power. as ry munition more they barely expended any so quick was their retreat. in this one battle, which lasted just hours. you quain lost 17 tanks and armored vehicles. 120 ukrainian soldiers and mercenaries were killed and left behind among them polish citizens. their identification documents were found amongst the corpses by me a b and p 2 vehicle also a trophy vehicle, captured from ukrainian troops as they retreated after another unsuccessful attack . here san province is rapidly turning into

a graveyard for ukrainian soldiers who had drafted and are now being driven to attack enforced well defended russian positions. and they are being driven to attack most of the soldiers that have been captured here. that if surrendered in a are now prisoners say that they were civilians off to work and rover and in kiev where they were drafted and give it a simple choice either their property positions a confiscated or they choose to serve. the matter of days they're thrown at well defended russian positions morale as well. there isn't much to speak of the captured soldiers. all say the same thing that if they refuse orders to go to attack warfare attempt to surrender or retreat that they are shot by. nationalists who are always in the rear, always watching them to make sure that they don't surrender despite these heavy losses repeated along the care of san front. for 3 weeks,

he have remains undeterred. throwing more men than material into the meat grinder, the desperate bead to secure a meaningful victory on this front. how many ukrainian soldiers die for key of victory here is seemingly irrelevant. or i'd gazda of r t, from gifts on region. as were a prisoner of war exchange between moscow and t, f has been held according to various sources, 55 russian military servicemen was walked for more than 200 ukrainian soldiers. the reduced russian troops landed wednesday at a military airport near moscow. members of the notorious, neo nazi as of battalion captured during the siege of mario po, were among those exchanged on wednesday evening media reports came several western mercenaries including 2 british and a moroccan national, who had previously been sentenced to death for war crimes by don. yes, court were flown to saudi arabia while addressing the un

general assembly, the south african speak a law. she's out at the west saying double standards should not be acceptable while tackling regional conflicts not ignore, longstanding conflicts such as that of the people of palestine. israel must be held accountable for its destructive actions that of significantly impaired the possibility of a 2 state solution. similarly, we cannot ignore the dickens long struggle for sir determination of the people of western sahara. we must, mister president, treat all conflicts across the globe with equal indignation, no matter what color o creed of the people affected it. i was the leader of south africa speaking before the united nations pointing to some of the ha, ha, christine around western leaders that continue to highlight the situation in

ukraine while ignoring the suffering going on in other conflicts and the violation of territorial integrity taking place in many countries now representative of serbia pointed to a situation regarding his country where the united states and western leaders are really revealing their hypocrisy. this is the serbian president we ask for a clear answer to the question. i've been asking my interlocutors leaders of many countries for years. what is the difference between the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine and sovereignty and territorial integrity of serbia, which was grossly violated and for virtue provided international recognition and legitimacy, at least some a few. this shed light on the hypocrisy of biden, at the un, hammering home this belief that what is taking place is all the simply a matter of russia violating the territorial integrity of ukraine. russia has shamelessly violated the court. tenants of the united nations charter no more

important then the clear prohibition against countries taking the territory of their neighbor by force. no one threatened russia and no one other than russia sought conflict. currently, these regions are preparing for referendum and which they will vote on the question whether or not they join with the russian federation. so the way binding presented it and his speech today at the united nations general assembly, the way he presented it isn't matching reality. it simply isn't the way things are taking place. this is a typical oversimplification of a very complicated international situation to serve the narrative. backing u. s. foreign policy. we spoke to civil rights attorney, robert patillo, who say the 2 tier system providing different sets of rules is wrong. think that we have to take as an international community as an understanding. we need to have the

same standards across the board. there cannot be a one set of rules where the united states and great britain, i am, the nato allies and a 2nd cetera. and the 2nd sort of rule for the all the other countries on earth. and the only way for these international organizations do have legitimacy is of, if they are truly neutral, they are truly fair minded. are. we cannot continue to have a 2 tier system in the international law international organizations. otherwise, we'll continue to see our smaller nations and non nato nations defect from these organizations really do not feel they'll get fair treatment. herb person bite into they talk about the idea of allowing the african nations caribbean nations to have representatives on the permit security council will veto power. but as of right now, most little small nations have no voice at all. the people will pals, fans that have the ability to simply vote on statehood and have it recognized by the international community and that be the end of it. if we're talking about international democracy in rooms based order right now is all about making sure that the money interest stay in power to make shorted the nation,

are basically $1.00 world war 2 are continuing to have, has more power over the world. and seeing that as a dis, widen situation where the majority of nations are trying to move and quote, unquote, developing and to be into self sufficiency dress. the challenges of our as accusations fly towards russia. the west itself has been less than loyal to the un charged that they keep citing the invasion of iraq and the occupation of syria. only a couple of examples by the us doesn't respect the rows that they want. others to follow out. these maria phenomena has no news about 4 regions and ukraine getting ready to hold referendums on join in. russia came in thick and fast. what also quickly followed was the reaction from the west. these referenda or in the front to the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity. that underpin the international system and let fly at the heart of the united nations charter. thank sullivan's claims of carrying about sovereignty would probably be more convincing

if he didn't stand behind a lectern where numerous american officials have undermined the sovereignty of numerous nations. how many times have we heard them warning or urge in other southern states to follow along with washington's policy? if a country decides to engage and with russia where there are sanctions, then they are break, breaking those sanctions, or breaking our sanctions. and in some cases they're breaking un sanctions. yes. there are consequences to countries that actively attempt to circumvent or back fill the sanctions threatening illegal and unilateral sanctions against as sovereign nation for conducting their own independent policy. is that not 10 up front to the principles of sovereignty for sullivan? and is he not concerned about washington being accused of stealing? an estimated 80 percent of sir is daily oil output. the sovereignty not applied to syria and its natural resources, but all that goes unnoticed, while every russian step is condemned, hillson rushes invasion of ukraine as

a conduct the tramples the philosophy and principles of the un charter. yet should never be tolerated. the un charter, the sacred foundation of the international organization that the west, as a former un secretary general himself, one stated, has repeatedly trampled on. i have indicated it us led war in iraq was not in conformity with the un charter. from our point of view. and from the charter point of view, it was illegal. the unprovoked and illegal invasion of rod is just one example of how the u. s. has been less than loyal to the charter. it now claims to be crucial to world order. you asked lead bombings of yugoslavia and libya. it's a tax and continued presence in syria. it's murdering of iranian commander. silly money, all in violation of the un charter leaving devastation behind in iraq alone. it's estimated that around $200000.00 civilians were killed or hayes the un charter only

there to be conveniently called upon when you are strategic enemies on to biding by it. and when it comes to the upcoming referendums, there is one aspect of the chart to the west certainly seems to have forgotten. that's the right to self determination. the purposes of the united nations are to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self determination of people. the international community supports they saw tickle of the un charter so much that to n costs of a seceded from serbia. it was supported by the us and over 100 other nations. and this policy continues with washington and its western allies insisting on ty, one's right to determine its own future. why shouldn't those in the don boss and had song ends up at osha, have their say after 8 long years? is it because they're hoping to join a country, the u. s. has publicly stated it wants to see weekend. can the west really not see

its pick and choose approach when it comes to respecting sovereignty, self determination or international law? there is a popular saying rules for thee and not for me. if only the west itself respected the rules, they want others to follow. one would be more willing to believe in the sincerity of their reaction. now the dea shows kind of like the bible, those who are was support a, a certain procedure when it's convenient for the amanda, when their actions contradicted, well, then they ignore that passage. i would say the u. s. has violated the quote, the charter if the charter means allowing people self determination, which it does on numerous occasions when it's suited centrist to do so. and that's what empires do. and the u. s. is no different than the british empire and now the french and others before it and it's behaving empirically. and it is increasingly

aggressive. the nat regarding the very thing will be held from september the 23rd to the 27th in full areas. the la ganske, antonio republics, and the dumbasses one is the chess song and zeppelin she, i regions. but we will have a special coverage on the referendums in these regions, which will get on to way on friday as low cuz vote on whether they want to become part of russia. it can lead more on a website and say, chewed to auto international. ah.

unexceptional opportunity. this is our south african president carol my my father has branded the biggest military expo on the continent had in the countries capital city for toria, with hundreds of companies participating in the event. the african aerospace and defense expo will run until sunday. the format will include the trade show alongside ariel displays at parallel meetings and conferences, briefing the media wednesday. as south africa minister of defense tandy mcgee says the events it gives opportunities for companies from across the globe to work together. ortiz caribella talked labrenz's. this report, africa, aerospace and defense sector is the most important defense marketing event in south africa, generals and security decision makers from around the world meets here every other

year in the capital city of south africa, to showcase their military hardway, underscoring why is sub saharan africa is a growth region for military and defense sector. africa are currently expanding and bolstering the military and policing capabilities. but the military budgets of african countries have traditionally taken a backseat to developmental concerns. and the impact of coven 19 has eroded their capacity to buy arms or security hardware. even further, consistently the budget of the defense force has been cut from africa. it is at its lowest. that is what our problem is. even if the economy grows loan, if you keep to the promise that we made to ourselves, that would never go beyond 2 percent of the g d p. for the defense, we will defy that. are we looking for 2 percent of the g d p that will enable

us to recruit the young people that we need to be? could be italian neighbor less to resuscitate our defense industry. that will enable us to fix all of our prem equipment that we need to fix, that it will also enable us to do everything and to play a role in better integration and in the continent. the russians, the arms conglomerate is also among the exhibitors. here they are also looking to expand their presence in africa with a showcase at this. yes. export. even though they didn't have a spokesperson available on the day, russia has a friend in many african countries, especially in the south african defense minister. we're loyal to our relationship with bricks because we looking at bricks as a developmental pattern. but put, but it's

a site this deal with russia. if you go into any part of africa, the africans will say to you will ask the question. who did they ever corner nice? did they give us financial aid and take possession of our country? now? south africa relationship with russia. spence from miss hood is mindy, by the way, i'm alive because they sent foot to the ian submitted to camps this expo a pregnancy over a 100000 people in it's 5 day period and both that impressive agile. there are many of line meetings happening here between decision makers that will hopefully turn the handshakes into deals and business. i'm glad i will if i thought for ality in pretoria elsewhere in africa and

a bid to tackle growing the growing concerns of electronic waste like old laptops and phones. if us ever waste management company is opened in ghana, offering recycling solutions. with respect to this campaign are launched, they seeks to extend education and the benefits of recycling to our communities. our community recycling beans will be placed at selected, empty, and service centers across the country by reducing waste, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and saving energy at home at work and on the road. we save the environment at our continent. then we have tons, as garner is known as one of the world's dumping grounds when it comes to e waste. something that comes with huge risks to people's health ah

done. if i will go to pick something, come we're done with a chest. know what he did, flip the chairs, he said to the thing, i come to wait to march from the fire. it will certainly through us with more water and my head. my head, the cause on that he did end up with the export or the 150 problem for electronic with

it can be trying generational transfer. i can pass it to my child and my daughter can muscle closet. i reiterated before you my pledge of improving things in the country and making a fraud the prima city in the in africa the managing director of the answer can environmental sanitation, consulting group, abena, antoine essays, attitudes about ecology need to change and writing the city by saying since well, since 2017, the gripe initiative has been introduced to them got it's brought in different dimensions of the eco system of the green echo system, which i am,

frankly, in my opinion, was lacking before they came in and became very active in the past. it's been a little bit of a discussion or a rift between the producers. the consumer will take responsibility for the end of use and of use products which are in the space of plastic. they've been able to influence not only governments, but also the power which development has to go in that kind of space plastics. in the plastic minutes i'll call it is not only gonna problem, it's actually a development developing countries problem. and this is that, you know, i think it's been a creeping problem. we find that plastics alone when you trace it back to all of the other challenges that is causing. then we realize that we are in big trouble. and that has also enabled the government to be aware of this and everybody is

talking about it. and when is one? i think that in the long term, and i like the fact that it's not only given the platform for discussions, but he's going out of it is out of a school. it's also educating the public because the problem, the plastic, plastic with problem in gonna have a lot also to do with education and attitude, no change that might happen for policy to be effective. many thanks for keeping us company here. and archie international will be back at the top of the hour with the very latest. ah, [000:00:00;00]
