calling saddam and osama, i do not see a delete desert. wonderful. i was just a lot a lot you. this'll because i'm running fine theater. the layout ah, breaking news this our on our team rushes to spend this role in the international deal on grain shipments from ukraine. that's after mass talk on the russian black, the fleet by ukrainian drones, allegedly with us and british military support with the u. s. secretary of state is denounced by canadian until war to this war mongering. that's the mid washington's decision to provide more military aid here. also in the program, a humanitarian crisis high since its grip on the keener fossil almost 3000000

children are in need of urgent aid. it comes as anti french sentiments in the former colonial african country is on the rise taken with frances traumatizing us. we know that france is against our development, and we are against french policy in africa about with we need new partners in the departure from, from the key to 5. so we just want to be free like other countries with few lie from our headquarters here in moscow. you're watching our see international mine is peter scott. and here are the top stories this saturday evening. but we start with some breaking news. this, our, as russia's defense ministry has said that the country has suspended. it's role in the international deal on grain exports from ukrainian ports. the ministry says the decision came after a mass ukrainian drone strike on russian naval ships,

which were involved in securing the grain shipment routes are joining me live now in the studio is our seas marina course river. marina, thanks for joining us. obviously, breaking news is to develop in story. but what can you tell us about what we know so far about this a statement from the russian defense minister, where the rushes agriculture ministry, has given a statement where it says that we can see where the shipments are go in, and it's not to the world's poorest countries that are in most need because the deal that was struck in july was supposed to help the global food crisis and prevented from escalade and becoming even worse. and the grains were supposed to reach. like i said, some of the poorest countries bought according to ross, was agriculture ministry. it now says that we can see that 6200 percent of the shipments were actually going to european countries, such as italy, spain, even the netherlands. and they were supposed to help other countries. the original promise was that it would go to, for example,

we had up countries in africa in asia and certain cases. and we saw that only 500000 tons of grain were actually delivered to some of the some of the poorest countries. so russians, agricultural industry is saying that this is actually not solving the problem that we're seen escalades when it comes to food and the grain, 4th edge. and again, some of the poorest countries, it's just going to european countries. and this is not the deal that they, that they wanted and why they went into the field to make sure to secure the shipment. and this, of course, all comes after there was an attack on some stop home where we saw 9 unmanned aerial vehicles as well as 7 or thomas marine drones. all targets eliminated by ships and the black sea fleets. and it was the ships that were basically providing the security of the grain shipments that we saw coming out of ukraine.

and russia took it a step further and even said that it's willing, you know, reliable partner like turkey to supply the countries that need grain. the most grain and other week, for example, it's willing to do that with no money ember. turn using every liable part there. once again, that is turkey. so these are some of the statements made by russians, agriculture, ministry, and basically saying that the deal that they made in july is not sufficient. it's not doing what it's supposed to do and help ease those who need these agriculture materials the most. so it's backing out, especially since we saw also involvement according to russian defense ministry involvement from britain and the u. s. for help and ukrainian soldiers exceed those attacks on service supple as well as other ones on north from one and 2. but i'll let you talk about that a little bit further on. i won't give out everything. so,

but yes, according to the russians agricultural ministry, russia is out for the time being, it's the spending, it's not. and then it, the deal was supposed to be enforced until i believe it was november 19th. so they're suspended that ahead of time. and these are the reasonings, and it's not the funding that entirely it say in russia has, has the, we've has the grains, it can supply the world's poorest countries, but it's no longer doing it through ukraine or using ukraine because obviously the ideal is not working out right, so let's wait and see what the international fall out is of death announcements by russia. thanks very much marina. thank you. now, according to the flights radar trucking side us recognizance drone was also to type in neutral s space over the black sea. around the time of those attacks local correspondence dmitri doctrine, as more from civil stapo submittal on saturday, ukrainian drones attack the main base of the black sea fleet. that's

a vast pole. prior to that, and american recognizance drone flu in international airspace without entering the air space of the russian federation. presumably at transmitter coordinates and actually coordinate to the actions of a swarm of ukrainian drones. all this say itself one task to identify the air defense points that allocated and sebastopol format of the work of the air defense and to understand in general the cities defenses for unexpectedly, when it was on approach to the city. the ships of the fleet, in particular, missile frigates met the drones with anti aircraft fire, artillery and short range anti aircraft systems targeted the drones, the whole city heard the explosions, windows shaking in some houses. there was no destruction on the ground or casualties may or the city promptly inform residents about the work of the defense through social networks asking every one to stay in place. the duty services remain on full alert. however, not a single drone was able to break through the missile defense of the black sea fleet . after that, it became known that in the waters of savannah, the pole,

in particular, and under water drone was working in the outer area of cru glare bay. here, perhaps it had surfaced to date, it is difficult to say what kind of device this was, but the helicopters of the black safely and the frigates of the navy, very quickly finished whatever work this underwater drone was doing. clam standing, literally 300 meters in a place where the underwater drone was blown up. there are no traces of fuel oil, all of oil spills, and there is no debris in the water. apparently the drones sank. interestingly, a similar underwater drone washed ashore in this area. during the summer, it was a fact the american intelligence coordinated this drone attack on so vast the pulse with another drone after which it turn round, flew back to its base. it had been in international airspace a long time and it was able to track all the changes taking place on the peninsula . in other news to 2 major blasts have wrought the somalian capital targeting them, steve education and causing multiple casualties. report say the job is group, i'll show bob,

utilize to car bombs and local authorities are yet to confirm the exact number of victims. the blasts took place us somali authorities were set to discuss violence extremism in the country. by yeah, yeah, o, u. s. 60 of states and canadian foreign minister being grilled by on see war i to this during a visit to material people calling them out for quote, reckless war mongering. your state is a terrorist secretary like a. 7 on to me,

lincoln's visits comes in the wake of washington's decision to provide another $275000000.00 in weapons on the a to key of that's is the commission of a home affairs admits the black weapons markets is already thriving in ukraine. although she says that she maintains full trust in the way the key of manages them is see from the euro. paul, at stock to report that they're organized, criminal groups are being more and more violent. this is this, right? so as i was security and we have to address this elicit firearms, we know from experience from their former avoid yugoslavia which can still see weapons coming from from this area course i trust ukrainian military. they are really using their weapons in the right way. while back in april, only 30 percent of weapons already sent to ukraine ended up on the battlefield according to possibly retracted c. b. s. reports. the boarding and ministration

alone has provided us with more than 1400 on the across systems, over 10000 grenade launches and 60000000 rounds of ammunition and investigation back in april by europe, all the use law enforcement agency. so the illicit weapons from ukraine have been falling into the hands of european organized crime groups, posing a potential security threats. the european union announced the creation of a so called hub in moldova to tackle weapons smuggling, with a blog security specialist assisting local law enforcement. the model which borders ukraine is not a new member, but is on the front line in the fight against arms traffic. and she's known data, however, shows the 40 cases of smuggling were recorded early this year. a 70 fold increase in munition, under 12 fold increase in weapons. the criminals repeatedly warned the western arm supplies to keep if could endanger other regions. you will lack markets of weapons operating in ukraine poses serious challenges. international criminal groups are

actively involved in their smuggling to other regions. it's not just about small arm. there are still risks of more powerful weapons falling into the hands of criminals, including men, pads, and high precision weapons. retired u. s. air force less tenant colonel current krakowski says the washington is well aware of the arms traffic in from ukraine, but still ready to jeopardize european security. they say they trust kia because that's what you have to say in the west. you cannot criticize zalinski and you cannot criticize key f that's just not allowed over here. ukraine was well known as the center of corruption, black mark and dealings and that kind of thing that has a head start that's been happening and it's going to continue to happen. it's something that the united states certainly is, is aware of. and they're concerned about it, and i'm even pointing the finger at russia in advance because i think they do

expect that quite a bit of this flow is going to continue by the ministration has been risking the safety of europe for quite a while. weapons flow that the united states is supporting in by far where the largest supporter of kids with weapons. i think that is totally dependent, not on european security, but on what goes on politically in the united states. the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance in bikini faso has risen. according to the latest reports by the u, an international children's emergency fund. the african country is struggling with the 7 year jihadist insurgency. this claim to thousands of lives and plunged large territories in turmoil. according to the un, some 5000000 locals need urgent aid. while the number of children in need of humanitarian help has recently increased from 2 to almost 3000000. the crisis has reduced access to basic social services in many areas. and students have also been affected by school closures, due to prolonged insecurity. begin of fossils. new governments has declared its top

priority is to secure the nation's territory, and the authorities have launched a recruitment campaign for civilian defense volunteers to help the army fight's militants. meanwhile, thousands protested against france in the queue. no far so on friday. demonstrates this got near the french embassy, $100.00 less of the money the pars, withdrawing from the country within 72 hours. some protesters waved to rush flags, demanding local authorities develop close to size in moscow, and other international partners. our goal is to ask france to remove its troops. it's not in our interests to fight against folks. we don't want to miss our goal. if france knows that if france fights back, we are dead. we need new partners in the departure of france from kena fast. so that's why we are here. we want to send a message to the french ambassador to tell him our friendship is unproductive. we just want to be free, like how the countries are now and then france is responsible for what happens to

us. since our ancestors, we do not have peace. so we're out today to say no to france. france is a terrorist, francis traumatizing us. we know that frances, against our development and we are against french policy in africa for out the book . you know, we need our freedom. that was made mistakes. this morning. yearly professor couldn't have access to women square where they're supposed to govern police occupied this place. hopefully, surely because of the preparation of the army, then moved to press embassy to deliver the message to the main office who was present the president. but that is what i do also want some of the new government members to leave the government because they think that not enough to see that on the table of the government with lulu. we're going to well, in the news reports on the whereabouts of a missing a,

b c reporter says his work had nothing to do with his disappearance. james gordon meek, who had been critical of us foreign policy, vanished after an f. b. i raid on his house back in april of the raid was understood to be the 1st carried out on a journalist by the, by the administration. r. t. c sweeney. investigates the story of the disappearance of a b. c. news producer james gordon. meek reeves, like a mystery thriller. his case has been surrounded by rumors in intrigues since the news broke with interest reaching for you a page and forcing the u. s. department of justice to issue a statement denying any kind of foul play. while the department cannot speak to any specific case or activity, the department strictly at here as to the attorney general's july 2021 memorandum prohibiting the use of compulsory process with regards to members of the news media acting within the scope of news gathering activities that deny okay, mm hm. it's suggestions that this was the 1st rate of its type carried out in

a journalist. so what's the story on the 27th of april, a number of unmarked cars with at least 10. the heavily armed agents arrived an apartment block in arlington, virginia. they were there to ride the apartment of james gordon, make a producer, a b c who specializes in national security investigations. they didn't stick around . they took off pretty quickly and headed west on columbia pike towards fairfax county. most people seeing that green vehicle would think it is some kind of tank, but i knew it was the land co bearcat that vehicle is designed to be jumped out of . so they can do a raid and that kind of time, it can return fire if they're being fired upon. it is not known whether meek was even at home when the right happened. what we do know is that very early that morning at 5 i am, he posted his last tweets, agreeing with an ex c. i a analyst who said that the u. s. is using the conflict in ukraine to learn about russian military tactics. comparing it to a laboratory experiment,

it's also not clear what happened to me afterwards. that very same day he e mailed a resignation, and that was it. she fall the face of the earth and people asked, but no one knew the answer. he resigned very abruptly and hasn't worked for us for months. but there are a few concrete facts, including the fact that his work may be us authorities uncomfortable. this was his latest project, exposing how the pentagon covered up. what exactly happened to for us special forces who were killed in the jan. 2017 in battle with ices. the role of the u. s. in africa remains a tightly guarded secret. ah, we asked, why did these 4 men lose their lives? and no one would give us an answer. the autopsy report was where it really started clicking that something didn't add up. coincidentally, the co producer of this though, also abruptly left abc last year. me gave an interview on it, talking extensively about what he called the cover up by the pentagon. we need to

have accountability. we need to have accountability, lung, the leadership leaders must hold themselves accountable. and that did not happen here. the leaders, the men who sent these young guys in a battle on a patrol that resulted in one of the most fearsome battles and memory in a country where most americans had no idea. we had combat troops they, they basically disappeared. they not only didn't stand by their men, they did not hold themselves accountable and somehow they were not punished once before make vanished. he was putting the finishing touches on the book about one of the last us missions enough gone this done, pineapple express. but since the raid old traces of his association with a book hopping mysteriously deleted, simon and schuster has scrubs his name from all press materials. the 1st sentence of the jacket previously read. in april a, b. c. news correspondent james gordon. meek. got an urgent call from a special forces operator serving overseas. now it says in april,

an urgent call was placed from a special forces operator serving overseas. but there was another twist. one colleague described a picture in his office that was taken in the deserts, in which all of the others posing with meek, had their faces blacked out, reported from a number of news organizations chased the story for months. but bizarrely, a b c makes his former employer has not investigated the rate at all the rolling stone article that 1st broke the story stated that me could frequently cooperated with abc anchor david moore. but that line has since been removed without an editor's note adding to the mystery. while both abc and his lawyer have remained silence. and what the authority saying, well, the f b, i has confirmed the right. but according to them, meek hasn't been charged with anything. many questions remain unanswered. on what grounds was such an operation carried out, who authorized it, and what charges could he face? one rumor is that of espionage. the same charges faced by wicked beak founded judy

in a song for exposing allege war crimes committed by the u. s. he faces a 175 years in prison, in what is seen as a deeply political case that threatens the very foundations of press freedom. and as the wall of silence continues around, meets his case. the mystery simply deepens and the ability of journalist to hold the powerful to account could be under attack once more. and now for some business news, u. s. technology stops have plummeted with 7 of the top players losing over 3 trillion dollars in market value in the last year alone. of those $75.00 makeup fun stalks, which refers to matter formally facebook, amazon, apple, netflix, and alphabet. previously, google met the stocks permitted 19 percent late on the wednesday following another quarter of reported losses. although a seo says it can whether the storm finance experts, jim rogers explains the downward trend and what it means for the world economy as

a whole. back in 2008, the world had a big problem because of too much. yes. in the u. s. and everywhere else and everybody had a problem since 2009, the debt everywhere has skyrocketed, even in china, japan, everywhere. so now the debt is much, much, much higher. so we're going to have the next time we have a problem, it's going to be worse than ever. whereas that in my lifetime, we had a bull market from 2009 until 2022. that's 13 years when you have a long bull market, it ends the things that went up the most in the book market are the things that go down the most or some of them go down the most when the bad market comes, the year, 2000, some of the folks like amazon went down 80 percent, and amazon afterwards came back and nothing was changed. so it's just the stock

price. but some companies disappeared in that bad market because they were living on their stock price. we'll have a recession, and we might have a very bad recession. we've always had recessions, everywhere in the world, throughout history. it's nothing new about recession. we always have them. if you're a big trading nation, even if you do nothing wrong, but if your customers have problems, you have problems. an international trade has boomed in the past 30 years. that means everybody nearly, everybody will have problems about. so our breaking news story. russia's defense ministry says the country has suspended his role in the international deal on grain exports from ukrainian pause. the ministry says the decision came after must ukrainian drone strike on were some naval ships which were involved in securing the green shipment routes. let's cross live now to form a greet diplomat,

lee and i discussed on for policy, and i just, thanks for joining us. short such short notice today. no, it's nice to be with you. i know the information, and i think now that this is going to be, be used by, by, by the west as an attack to russia and condemning russia for trying to stop. so grained explorer system, of course. so, i mean, the explanation given by a moscow is quite correct after the attack that was made on, on the crimea base in a civil stablish and her. but now we have to wait for the worst of from the west. was going to be, i thank goodness, but i would, i would like to take this opportunity because this escalation of what violence that's thing place in the ukraine is very dangerous and it might lead us to

a nuclear confrontation by human error. i'd just like to remind you what happened on the 27th of october, 1962. there were 5 cases of human error where nobody knew about it. what was the use you to spy plane? that was last off alaska? the plane had gone, of course, by, by human error, soviet meeks went to attack and went to push it back. at the same time to u. s. air force fighters scrambled to protect you too, and they carried palka, no pier air to where miss sack. what do you mean when you luncheon mistake? silly not, it's not an apologies for interruption, but going back to this great deal. there was report, there were reports that on the flight trucking websites for flight radar, there was a, allegedly, a u. s. recognizance plane in the area. do you think that indicates involvement by

the u. s. or was it just a regular, a possibly regular recognizance mission? just in the area. i sick, i mean, i cannot exclude any thing nowadays we can not exclude anything. i mean, you have moscow has information that the british sewer involved in this attack are right. if the british were involved in this attack, i presume that that, that the us would also be involved or as nato, but nato's getting more and more aggressive against russia into ukraine in this affair. and this leads us to the possibility of a nuclear confrontation and also going back to $962.00. we have to remind you of the of the destroyer u. s. destroyer that was sending that was sending a signal grenades through

a soviet sub that the had a nuclear torpedo. the captain was in of the soviet some panic and was ready to suit the nuclear torpedo to the, to the aircraft carrier to use aircraft carrier. but fortunately, the chief of staff called him down, i think i remember, i think i remember that story. leonardo is extremely tense at the time. do you think that are in stand off is and is that you know, comparable to those tensions? i think so. yes, because he schuman error, we cannot control schumann error. i mean these errors can't j, j jenkin happened until he saw would be that we, that we blow up into the planet. so i think that it's, it's about time that the west comes and, and decides to, to start

a diplomatic negotiation with, with russia on this issue. i mean, it's about time that the war stops. and i think that the people of europe are reacting in that sense. they want to or stop. i just want a sense that it's a great deal, lee, an item. now obviously, green prices spight at the start of the war, and then turkey, russia, and ukraine. they managed to, to nicole sheets this great deal, but russia alleges that not enough grain is really going to the countries that need it in africa. and do you think we're going to see another spike in prices in a potential exacerbation of the global few crisis in lights of the suspension? yes, i think so. i think something like that will happen. i mean, it is not good. i mean, many games in the financial area are being,

are being played with, with this issue. and i think that we will have a, an increase of grade of the prices of grain that will, of course, create an increase in the gas and the gas prices. but the issue is that in order to, to stop this aggravation, we need to have a diplomatic solution to the issues that confront to the west with, with, with russia and cannot, you know, and just just before we go, lee and i just got one more question for you and i was just confirm that it's ready to replace ukrainian green and still it's, it's a reasonable price or how many buy is do you think there will be for russian grain given the current circumstances, i don't know because i'm not sure with the russian drain, this is included the sanctions that the u. s. and the west has thinking.

but as i said, as i said in previous interviews, these sanctions taken against russia are, are actually hitting to people of europe. i've been back firing on under your people and on the west. what leon, i did chris on thought police a former greet diplomats, absolute pleasure to have in the channel, and thank you for sharing your insights into those recent incidence in sever stop. thank you very much. thank you sir. thank you. well, that's how the world's looking at 6 30 pm, moscow time this saturday evening. i'm pizza, scott, and i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories, including those developments in crimea in about half an hour's time out to see them . ah. in the summer of 2022, italy, along with all other nato member states, i think,

to be cited with ukraine in the armed conflict with russia, roaming, coordination with the u. s. approved to military assistance package for keith to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back. let him know phillips father. the animals been that this plan you'll need you on the job site on the same nato in the u. f with you. and the ones that people will die just for make money. there are those who oppose their decision at various levels of government. i was one of the members of the parliament that showed them. yes. the panels italians also protested in the streets a but across the ocean in the united states, their voices im not heard. italy holds the record for the number of us.
