have not condemned or isolated russia over the columns like ukraine. in fact, the opposite appears to happen. the global south does not embrace the west demand of a rule space order for so called western values. in general, 500 years of western domination is coming to an end. with signed a declaration of martial law in the 40 russian territories don't as kind of god's republics as well as the here so on. as up a road here, regions were all under martial law even before they joined russia. the time has now come to make this official as of like a man who can do to declare martial law and for russian regions on the front line with you trade, we break down the ramifications of them in albany, they french, the men company plead guilty to financing, i think, unless rick paris just to maintain its own business in theory, i just find that nearly $800000000.00 by id went over this out.

mother is just the right to exercise its right to self defense. if fronts continues to undermine the sovereignty about a country, malia kids, it's wrong. so if continuing to undermine the african countries security and one thing will exit 5, it's right to self defense with it 5 pm here in the russian capital in the international with the latest world news update. thanks for joining us. this album vladimir putin has declared martial law in the foreign new territories. that recently joined russia. the president announced the decision during a meeting of the countries, the security council. but then you gave little nice public life, signed a declaration of martial law in the form in russian territory. don't. as can look on republics as well as the harrison i was on the road here, regions were all under martial law even before they joined russia. the time has now

come to make this official. let him, if he can say the decision to impose martial law comes in response to terrorist threats from ukraine. according to the russian precedents decree, regional leaders have been granted additional powers to ensure security. and then 4th measures to meet the needs of the russian army. russian prime minister mccallum issues then is being appointed to lead a special new council to coordinate security efforts. ortiz marina cars, or are they doing the studio with the details? now marina, thanks for coming in. so what exactly does the russian precedents decision mean? well, this is really a technicality because as vladimir putin said himself, these 4 regions already under martial law is just thought. now, there are parts of the russian federation sits within the legal framework of russia . and he said that this is a necessary move to ensure the safety of civilians. because he is regime as

refusing to accept the results of the referendum as their people's desire and wish to be parts of the russian federation. so this is a necessary measure to protect them and also will give unlimited powers to the heads of the regions there right now, so that they can make decisions really quickly and as they see fit because there's no time as the situation there is escalating. there is no time to consult with most got certain times. this will give them the power to do that. and also the leaders, all of these 4 regions will also be part of a special coordinating council. but latimer putin has asked the government to settle. let's take lessons please dream village and the species. it's not only specialized law enforcement agencies, but also the entire or state system as engaged in resolving issues to facilitate the special military operation that we need to continue working on improving coordination. to this end, i'm instructing the government to prepare re draft presidential decree on the

creation of a special coordinating council, which will be led by the russian prime minister. and this comes as were seen an escalation on the battle ground, especially in the city of san where there anticipating a large scale offensive. and right now, tens of thousands of people are being relocated to other areas that they're not in harm's way as they're preparing ukrainians. to launch their massive attack. and of course we heard on tuesday from the commander of russia, special military operation. they're saying that ukrainians are willing to resort to anything including lethal weapon. so it's very important right now to get people out of harm's way. so we could just break it down for what exactly marshall low means under the russian legal system war in russia. martian line, we'll take a look at some of the slides right now to get the key points. there is a long list of what it means, but among them is of course,

the restriction of movements. now, we're talking about people and vehicles will be additional tracks and more intense checks for anyone crossing or walking around when they're not supposed to be an introduction to curfews, locals have to be resettled if they are live in dangerous areas. additional security for transports energy and communications infrastructure. vladimir putin also reminded us again that ukrainians hard have been targeting those infrastructure in particular those facilities. and we've seen that even with a nuclear power plant, this could be very, very dangerous. so this is the focus that marshall would entail, but again, what that means on the ground and what it will look like. it depends on those leaders of the regions of what they decide to do. first, we're still waiting for this to be approved by the federation council on the versus the legal system. this is what martial law means and we'll see which measures that

will implement on the ground. many thanks been coming in marina and breaking down for us. i thought you were we in a constant well apart from declaring martial law in the, for a front line territory. let me putin is also put a other russian areas ne ukraine and what he's calling a medium level of alert authorities must now ensure extra protection of public health and safety, and also facilitates a temporary resettlement of civilians to safe areas. the security of military energy on transport infrastructure was also a priority. and these alerts regions while just before painting decision, careful therapies and the closure of an entry point and the region to stop civilians from traveling to certain areas for the next 7 days. whether that is that being real katie, to say for parts of carr song as the threats of ukrainian attacks intensifies and comes as the commander of russia military operation, se kids troops are preparing to use prohibited tactics and they're expected

upcoming assaults on the territory. last, i mean, sir, we have data on the possibility of the key regime using prohibited methods of war in the area of the city of her song. and on the preparation by key of a massive missile strike on the damn out of the hydro, electric power plant, as well as a massive and indiscriminate missile strike on the city itself. this can lead to the destruction of the infrastructure and heavy civilian casualties. in this situation, our task is to preserve the lives and health of civilians. therefore, 1st and foremost, russian military will ensure the relocation of the population. the commander of russia military operation has set tensions on the front are increasing, especially in the city of kent song motion force is anal strengthening that positions that made anticipation of a large scale offensive by key of me while in the nearby region. as i put where

tensions have been high around the nuclear power plant, rushes say the radiation situation has been under control often, and attempt by key of forces to take over the facility. according to the russian military. the recent landing of ukrainian troops in the area has been repelled with more than 90 ukrainian soldiers killed. on the other side of the front line air raid sirens had been heard in several regions across central eastern and southern ukraine. media reports suggest alarms, which frigate across the whole country with blas within a number of areas. over the last several days, local authorities have reported the attack on that infrastructure earlier. moscow confirmed retaliatory, high precision strikes on ukraine's energy facilities. military commands also assaults on russia is critical infrastructure that officials have blamed on

the fall. it made a deal with the devil that's according to us, lawyer bray on pace off the french, the men's company was found guilty of have millions of dollars to isis, and i'm not sure to keep one of its plans operating in syria. it was find almost $800000000.00 with the deputy attorney general. lisa monaco saying the father is actions helped fund the 2 groups as they wage the campaign of violence and terror across the syrian population in its pursuit of profits, lafarge. and it stopped executive not only broke the law, they helped finance a violent reign of terror that isis and almost reign post and the people of syria. the french company left the factory located between 11 and the turkish order that it just opened in the year prior to the conflict and syria popping off in 2011 another western proxy war, an energy strategic state. western back syrian rebels ultimately failed to our president, bashar all side, while jee, how does groups flooded on to exploit the chaos. so how does

a company he's operating in inactive or zone? well, by paying off the g. hottest groups on the battlefield where it's trying to run a business apparently. so last found, which emerged with, with multinational holsen group in 2015, just admitted in the us court way to characterize as a sort of employee and executive protection scheme agreed to pay a fine of 770 $7800000.00 to the us treasury and marking a 1st time a company had been convicted in the u. s. of backing terrorists. now here's a taste of how their system work. we have to maintain the principle that we are ready to share the cake if there is a cake. relatedly and isis vehicle pass dated april 26th, 2014 and baron isis letterhead and stamp allowed lafond to me as some of the employees to pass through after the required work. this is that they have fulfilled or do use to us. so we also don't know how much of this scheme involves french intelligence operations that bid this year in conflicts as a document lead to the french press last year. just the french military

intelligence was fully aware of the company's payments to isis as of 2014. now, the part is also under indictment in france, but the real ellison in the room here is what's a french company doing on trial in the u. s. court. well, the u. s. unlike other countries, has a history of actively seeking to use that justice system as a blunt instrument against a competitor, which you can do as soon as the foreign companies involved in any way with wall street or with the us dollar. french companies have been targeted multiple times by the us department of justice and some top level french executives will admit privately that you have to be pretty naive to say that disorder practice is rare or limited just to grant. and that the targeting by the us justice department, they feel is by selective executives, the french multinational al some, for example, were used by the u. s. a corruption threatened with a long prison sentences. and the end result is where to everything away was the payment of $772000000.00 similar to the figure in this case, in criminal penalties,

to the u. s. government and the sale of france's industrial crown jewel out that nuclear power. no. how do pentagon contractor general electric? it's not like washington does it also support g? how does in war zones like area? let's face it. the western process pointed out that the western bacteria opposition ultimately merged without fight up and who paid for the training and equipping of the theory and rebel. i'll try to recruit the same uncle sam y s t. i a and the pentagon move out to hunt them all down for holding outside, directly responsible for the terrorist attacks on us soil. i september 11th, 2001. we're talking billions of us taxpayer dollars that ultimately ended up draining jihadist and no one's taking good old uncle sam to court over that. so the french american method may be different, but the end result is pretty much the same. but you know, it's huge that washington pretending that french company has somehow shocked its

delicate moral facility tension. between from sounds. molly, escalating with the african countries, foreign minister accusing power is undermining it. sovereignty and national security. the molly and official took his case straight to the un security council . molly reserves the right to exercise its right to self defense. if france continues to undermine the sovereignty of our country and to undermine its territorial integrity and its national security package, united nations security council meeting, the marley foreign minister went on to repeat allegations that molly has leveled at the paris government in the past. and these include allegations that france continues to use, molly, a space, and also that it continues to supply weapons to islamic militants who are operating primarily in the north west and parts of molly. now we're talking here about extremist, with links to al qaeda with links to islamic state. and they have been on the

offensive for the better part of a decade. the relations between marley and france soured, particularly after the qu, in their country, back in august 2020. and amongst the other criticisms that the molly government has towards france is that it says that france has vetoed or has stopped any kind of developmental projects that have been suggested to the advantage of molly, at international forums. it has supported sanctions against smiley. in the past, and at the same time, it has entrenched military agreements between the 2 countries that bind marley to france. at the same time. earlier this year we did see a number of european governments withdrawing. the military forces from molly france has done this, but only in part with the marley government also criticizing the way the french did the say that it saying it was a unilateral withdrawal. that was done with any kind of consultation that left the

molly government at odds with what was actually happening. now. the french have denied these allegations. they have said that they do not violate molly as space. and they have also said that all the operations in molly are fully transparent. this is what we heard from the french ambassador to the united nations. i wished to re establish the truth after the mendacious accusations and defamatory accusations from them while interest national government, france never violated malia airspace. now the situation on the ground in molly, in terms of safety and security continues to deteriorate. on monday for you and peacekeepers were killed in the north of the country. and this country, as is lament militants continue with their advances, particularly towards the east of molly. let's discuss this further now with professor david manya. he's an expert on africa's international relations and politics that begin a variety of johannesburg. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to

see this wednesday the. what's your reaction to these accusations from molly's foreign minister? what exactly is wrong? stone to warrant such rhetoric? this is disturbing use. i think it comes as the backdrop of french disturb realizing i role in the mark howl region and i started with the lead beer christ is in 2011. and now we see a powerful country within admission security council. being accused of supporting rebels and his law, me rebels. and i think what it does is that it calls up on the african union and united nation to really look into this matter and investigate and come to some sort of exactly what's happening on the ground. and friends should not be allowed to continue to civilizing africa in this memo using in calling on past as

a way of getting into its former colonies. i think you read into the timing of the accusations a toll. i mean, it comes as russia is taking steps to boost its relations with molly. do you think france is prepared to let marly get closer to russia? not at all. i think what we're seeing is a concerted effort by france and to a large extent united states to push russia off africa. and what we see a need for the new to mid pronouncement on this matters and to ensure that the involvement of big powers on african content does not negatively affect development on the continent. and it's not just a question of monday. we need to take this documentation quite seriously. it has implication in li, big as implication in the entire region and across the african continent. and it's a serious matter that paris need to be really hold accountable. most americans say that france is trying to fulfill its neo colonial ambitions in

countries like molly, what would you say to those accusations? i mean, there's an element of truth in them that france moves this are against that. it does power as a former colony colonial power in terms of dictating what this form a colonial countries should do or not do, undermining the entire african way of handling conflicts on the ground. and a playing a negative role in terms of economic development and thought beyond that, the issue dumping we put in the puddle. well, it's, it's unacceptable for, for africa. and it need to construct, of course, to start from france is that it wants to keep fighting against security threats in some african countries. but do you believe there is anything that power is actually do to help people who live there? not at all. i think what we see is

a desperate measure taken by france to regain its influence. and the chicken must be the part of the world at a time where it's paula, not just in africa, but the course of the goal is to decline. this is quite huge. crisis in terms of its own economy, domestic prices, and its place within, you know, in light of all what's happening in the world. and therefore, i think it's high time that you need to be a pronouncements in terms of involvement or negative involvement or france and take actions through critical body such as an admission. many thanks for speaking to us today. really appreciate your time and your insight on the topic. professor david mon. gay, an expert on africa's international relations and politics at the university of johannesburg. thank you again. now frontier 202010 military 12 led by moscow are in full swing into jakey's down with

participants from central asia. the exercise is aim to create a collective response to the threats of terrorism of correspondence. donald quarter reports from the ground. ah, we're here right now in the middle of the field where these military drills are taking place earlier, we saw infantry conducting anti terrorist operations. we saw helicopters fly by, as you can see right now, these are tanks that are just moving up right to the red flags where they're actually going to be firing from. so let's take a look right now at what's going to happen over there. as you could see this,

this sort of environment is very dusty at every time when the tanks go through and, and jeeps and cars, there's tons of dust they leave behind. so right now we're going to see these tanks, basically take a shot po, as you can see it behind me, the tanks have begun to fire. this is part of the armored assault portion of the joint military exercises here. while i look at the smoke on that they, they've all lined up by the red flags and soon they're going to make their advance very loud over here. ah, washington seems to have changed his line or naming pakistan, one of the most dangerous nuclear nations in the world. has it now insist that is lama pants, atomic weapons? i'll say face acute the u. s. has always viewed

a secure and prosperous pakistan as critical to u. s. interests and more broadly, the u. s. values are longstanding cooperation with pakistan. the united states is confident of accent commitment and its ability to secure its nuclear assets. on last week, president bind and made a remark that islam about nuclear weapons have no cohesion. pakistan immediately reacted to the provocative claim with the country's foreign minister. moving to summon the us ambassador and voicing his shaw i for biden's that nucleus statement . i am surprised by their a box of president biden. i believe this is exactly the sort of misunderstanding that is created when there is a lack of engagement. we meet all each and every international standard as far as the safety and security of our nuclear

assets. biden's words apparently don't reflect us pakistan relations. earlier in september, washington resumed military support to islamabad. off to a full year pause. a $450000000.00 package includes the upkeep of the f. 16 fighter jets of the pakistani air force strategic advance expos side mohammed ali thinks to abide and make his new care comment to appease lobbies, which one to put pressure on pakistan. the reason for this irresponsible mom is primarily the upcoming election by the end was giving a policy statement, but you can name event that you want to be those lobby share or you don't have an

interest in the national committee that i. busy really and my dent shield also center of excellence will be, will be number on your security. really appreciate your company here on our international beth wednesday as the way they can check for the latest news updates on our website. r t dot com. that will be back into service 30 minutes with all the latest. i will see you then. ah, a lender. let me and honestly for you,

but they should be deal. lowest ones are deal with what you need to project with motion school. know for them the money is done love their schooling with idea that would limit

30 with with both all the models you need to do, you know, some of the deal with a, with a lot of what you want for them. a with

the 1st one you know, with, with with those are for the new business and you will clean a, b, e r w that was chosen. yeah, americans. great. you. when you wrote, you got to really just such an article and i'll certainly provide you with stuff such and short muslims, you factor of the different student info with you guys are on the, on the pro and you're still with yours. i brought him at the study something for stephanie and you put your choice

between 2 or 3 which you, which no longer interested in use to us from up to push to, to stream loan because of leaders new or your course. look you school course. i don't know who's got no point a to them, it was going to be used for us to play in finances. come with the hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered. i am peter lavelle much the chagrin of the west china and the global self have not condemned or isolated russia over the conflict in ukraine. in fact, the opposite appears to have happened. the global south does not embrace the west

demand of a rules based order or so called western values. in general, 500 years of western domination is coming to an end. the, the cross talking the global south, i'm joined by my guess mohammed mirandi and in toronto, he is professor at the university of trying to new delhi. we have professor troy, she is professor emeritus at the school of international studies at newer university. and in ankara we cross who's saying body, he is president to the foreign policy institute or cross talk roles. and in fact, that means he can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate mom and let me go to you 1st and to run and welcome back to the program after such a long hiatus here jake sullivan, that brilliant guy in washington. he says, the stakes could not be higher. we are at an inflection point. i agree with him. ok, probably for reasons that he wouldn't agree with me about. but nonetheless, we are an inflection point and ukraine has put it all in relief. go ahead mohammed

. well, we are at a major infection point and i think it's far too late for the americans to do anything about it. the united states is rapidly on the decline. they continue with their and this war as an occupations the united states is basically a military machine and it constantly feeds that military machine. and meanwhile, the rest of the global south is, is on the rise. i mean, when one side is on the decline, the other side rises, whether in or whether it's in relative terms or otherwise. so i think that actually this winter will make things much clearer. yeah, because as europe moves towards crisis and as the united states has to carry the burden of europe, it's not as if the united states does.
