r t crew to south africa ventures into iraq. shackle colonial era gold mine currently being used by local, desperate to make ends need that made my closure with 3 in the afternoon here in the russian capital this wedding. they welcome wherever you are catching the news hour from today. we begin with breaking news. russia has resumed its participation in the black sea green deal. according to the russian defense ministry, which stated ukraine was able to give the necessary safety guarantees in the corridor. the russian federation considers that the guarantees received at the moment seemed sufficient and resumed the implementation of the agreement, the initiative for the safe transportation of grain and food from the ports of ukraine, suspended after the terrorist attack in sever stobel will escrow live now to ortiz maria finacialow for more on this, maria,

it had been perhaps v pressing concern globally right now a now appears to have been resolved. take us through to these developments. yes. hi union. a very good news indeed, to day from russia's defense ministry, as most goes now back to implementation of a very important black sea grain. dill, thanks to the participation in a very active role of the un and turkey. m, the statement says the necessary written guarantees have been obtained from the ukrainian side of the non use of the humanitarian corridors in the black sea, as well as ukrainian pores assigned for the export of agriculture products for military purposes. earlier president widen, were put and said that russia suspends its participation in the black sea initiative due to security concerns following and massive ukrainian drone attack on the russian navy in crimea, the ports of sip estoppel the she was addressed at the un security council meeting

moscow accused ukraine of violating the agreements conditions, and also accused the british troops of been involved in saturday's attack. and now we hear from russia's foreign ministry spokesperson saying that the british side will soon be provided with the evidence of this involvement greenwich of nav shake . some nino leech on this bit dusky, the attack on sever stapo, was carried out under the leadership of british specialist, which was announced by the ministry of defense in which the russian federation informed the international community during a meeting of the un security council. in this regard, the british ambassador will be summoned to the russian foreign ministry in the near future, or is the government known as the black sea grain initiative brokerage by the un and took here was signed early july in east and bold with the participation of the russian and ukrainian sides and it allowed boats with crops to freely leave the unblocked ukrainian portraits. it was very important. moscow was repeatedly accused

of provoking global food crisis by starting its special military ration to ukraine . but russia denied it repeatedly again, saying that western sanctions against russia is the main reason behind the disruption of worlds. food chain supplies. and actually, i'm the idea of the important grain deal was to help starving african, the countries the poorest countries most, he'd by global food crisis to survive. but more sco always had many questions on how it was implemented. as surprisingly, like me, putting reiterated at many times, most of the shapes from the ukrainian ports went to the new instead of african. where you, thanks very much ridiculous through that r t 's maria, finish their live in rti. the space ex has launched the 1st falcon, the heavy rocket in 3 years to deliver classified military payloads to the u. s.

space force though the heavy lifter is ilana mosques brainchild, of course, on the trip march the 4th trip to space for the rocket typo. let's discuss the developments with a correspondent at donal quarter. i think the secretive is the word of this one very little mission emerging about it, but what is known? yeah, definitely. i mean, like you said, this is the 1st falcon heavy space launch mission by space acts in over 3 years. and at the same time, interestingly enough, it's the 1st classified mission by the u. s. space force, which is a branch of the us military stablished under the former president, donald trump. so what does that, what exactly does this operation entail? it's classified, sorry, experimental u. s. military satellites, carrying classified payloads on the back of the lawn, month rocket at the behest of the pentagon. and this is actually surprising for a lot of people because of the kind of reputation that must has garnered recently

the negative one with, with many in the west and in ukraine. specifically for suggesting that perhaps key of should give up its territorial claims on some, on some of the territories that it's making claims on. in the sit for the sake of peace in the ukraine conflict. it does appear if it was any other person owning this space rocket, this would be the biggest event of perhaps his or her year. but 3 la musk, the news seems have been lost a little. yeah, that's actually correct. and that's because 2 very big events. cohen sided very conveniently here of course, this classified mission by the u. s. space force, and you must buying up of twitter. ok after all that with that just happened last week and the media has been covering a lot of moments surrounding that. the fact that there were reports that must to fire 3 fourths of twitter staff, which he later said he wasn't going to do his grand entrance into the twitter

h q. the day before he bought it up with a kitchen sink. and later he published a video of that on twitter itself saying, let that sink in. he also, actually, after taking control of the company, we saw that relevant ukrainian media personalities were also also received. the state sponsored media labels which previously were only on, were on the, on russian idea personalities as well as chinese ones. and iranian ones, but ukrainian media personalities did not have them. so it looks like all that combined really drowned out the fact that this was all going on on alongside. you must company basically running errands for the pentagon. don, one other issue as well earlier we so you must covering some inconsistencies with the u. s. government in the ukranian conflict, especially concerning star link satellites. just remind us of the few would. well, the whole situation really makes it kind of look like you are mosque is trying to play both sides here. because again, he's actually been labeled pro russian by a lot of ukrainian officials because of the fact that he said that perhaps ukraine

should give up its territorial claim on crimea. specifically, he also said that perhaps people should consider the idea that ukraine's former territories, that have recently become part of russia in referendums, perhaps they actually want to be a part of russia. but simultaneously we have this whole story with starling, like you said last month, must said that he would not shut off the star like internet service over ukraine. even if the u. s. department of defense refused to pay for it, which is something that must ask for because apparently space x is having problems paying for that. but this is really important. we have to not forget this star length system is very important for the ukranian military, which uses it for much of its communications in this conflict with russia and it's led many ukrainian official to say that mosque is one of the con, the biggest top donors. so of course this combined with what i just mentioned, kind of makes it look like must is trying to be friends with everyone. all right,

we, we await the developments then open space. thank you very much. correspondence donald quarter bring this right off the data, not protest. her is how set fire to you and trucks in the democratic republic of congo local flame, the peacekeepers. vehicles have been used to transport insurgents. busy near the rondon border, i oh, well, there has been fierce fighting between congolese government forces on the so named m 23 and sergent group in the border region in question. the government believes the militants are being supported by neighboring, rob wanda. now on tuesday, the un mission there are said it would begin a strategic withdrawal from an area that m $23.00 had been in funding from. here's what people on the streets of the frontier city of gama. had to say about the situation. i got to figure out we are asking our president to help us to remove the

un mission from here. and the fog. alamance is not able to fight this rebels. give us weapons to fight them. that will be some one is going out to test. and because of his rebels, we have fled o home. that's why we're angry. and we would just burn this un vehicles because the mission is making us suffer. got you know, thousands of people protested in goma denouncing what they call red ones in aggression, and k galleys are legit support of m. 23 fighters and accusation. lawanda denies the situation in the d. r. c's east as worse and recently within surgeon season control of 2 major times last weekend, doubling the territory. they now hold after fierce fighting with the military earlier, the d. r. c. expelled the rwandan ambassador and also recall that top envoy from that country, independent analysts al kit tango who specializes in the regions politics believes because of the rapidly deteriorating situation. the congolese government hasn't

mandate to seek a military solution. when you look in the congo. ready as a new camera in east africa community, for instance, the expectation was peaceful every one and prosperity for every one. anything can happen any time. the things understand is that congress, this is for the last 20, is congress of titles that and completion of convoys. soonest the dodo that, and the leaders of congress. political leaders of global need to give answers to the needs of mission. whichever onset is including military answers, a finger mapping can be excluded and his level it's mandate food o como leaders to give solutions to the situation. including mishawaka, utilities that only the economy will all about the results using google being. ready taken away by different forces around some

bridges, a wanda proven by made reports well, let's move south from there or to south africa where a major mining company is sent to layoff up to 2000 workers, citing a currently on the profit of the bowl business structure the huge cuts by said bunny still water haven't big ramifications because it's jeopardized the livelihoods of local minors and spark concerns that they could continue working in the dangerous shafts illegally. that's as many desperate people in the region have already taken to working in on license abandon, goal minds to feed their families. our t correspondent caught a boat latasha. this is the pits, the very bottom rungs of a thriving elicit economy. john, his bag is filled with abandoned mind shops like this,

with tunnels that continue to dot it's landscape. and it really why it was once known as the city of gold. this out, i guess it's, i'm one and i, i came here to mind goal setting and i've been doing this for about 5 years ago. i left my parents back home as well as my wife and my 2 kids. so who yeah. all the discovery of gold and diamonds, around 1852, brought the full weight of the british empire to africa, both militarily and economically, to control the resources and the profits from his colony. but in the early 20th century, the african national congress was formed to lead a defiance movement against the colonialists. and when more and more black men refused to dig up the earth for colonial companies, the british import had even cheaper labor from south africa's neighbouring countries. a legacy of migration that continues to day,

south africa as some of the deepest gold mines in the world up to 5 kilometers down . in some instances. illegal miners like these, i know locally as amazon amazon, which literally translates to the gamblers as knew of desperate and documented foreign nationals who come down and mine these shops for the little gold that's left on the ground. dishes is the resume. well, as is the tools we use are chisels and hammers. we also use pans and water to wash up the goals. how did are still a lot of called left under ground hello, and we work in dangerous conditions. these men mostly originate from the saw to them, bob away and mozambique men and women continue to stream down to south africa, attracted by the seine minerals and it's a big and coordinated business. but it's also inherently risky and fraught with danger. but who is actually funding these activities? as a lot of us, we just sold the reseller expired from us,

so we don't work for them. we do this work for ourselves. meaning theft has been around since my aiming itself. and in some instances, illegal minors will pay legitimate gold miners up to $800.00 for the use of the access cuts to clock in and out like regular workers. sometimes an entire line of people is paid from security guards all the way to winding engine drivers and minus . but the costs are far less for bend and my chefs like these. but they're still fraught with danger. hammer told alan museum, i am good. there are 2, if one of us is injured inside the mine, we help each other. we take him out to take him to hospital and then visit him there. but around 3 years ago we had 3 fatalities here. all gold has come out of south africa than the rest of the world combined with over a 150 years of tradition. the only human which 2nd to remarket for golden south africa. and it's that thinkin hand you let's and the bridges that precious metal

dealers that i suspected of financing this elicit activity. so i did, oh, yeah, i you, the most money i've ever made is about $1200.00. i can send it home and my family can buy the things that they need by the end of the year. in true capitalist form. when close rose, big mining houses picked up the prophets and left. they left pits like this, little all across the province. and they left the little bit of gold that left here for these men to fight over cannibal at at flat, of see ingeniously right to another of our headline stories to day online video platform rumble based in canada has shown frances demands to censor russian new sources such as r t fronts on sputnik in the statement, the outlets are blind, its commitment to free speech. as part of our mission to restore

a free and open internet, we have committed not to move the goal posts on our content policies. users with unpopular views are free to access our platform on the same terms as are millions of other users. oh, well, let's cross live. those ortiz contributor rachel marston for her take. hi rachel. yeah, it appears as if our tea is grown 0 of our free speech right now. take us through what's going on with rumba on. the french government's issue with the platform and yeah, well, instead of batting russian media, as the french government demanded rumble, just decided to ban all france from the platform while they pursued legal options against the demand for the french government. here's what the platform said in a statement. this decision will not have a material effect on our business. as france represents less than one percent of our users. the french people however, will lose access to a wide range of rumble content because of these government demands. rommel c,

e o. chris patalouski also had this to say like elan, musk, i won't move our go posts for any foreign government. brembo will turn off france entirely and we will challenge the legality of this demand. well, it'll be interesting to see if there's a diplomatic pressure put by the e u on canada or the u. s. to impact on rumble, but i've lost ski compared his actions to those of eli must, who has been waging a battle against the ship on various fronts. must tread back in march that he was asked to block russian news sources on his starlight satellite network and reply quote. we will not do so unless at gunpoint story to be a free speech out. so we just, mark has also been openly reminded on twitter by european union, internal market commissioner chevy talk in the wake of his recent purchase of twitter and talk of restoring free speech that the platform would be forced to

abide by the blocks rules governing public expression those are just eroding over time, particularly when it comes to online speech. on top of that democratic senator chris murphy is now demanding a us government and investigation into moscow. and twitter is financial participation by saudi arabia. the platform, 2nd largest financial patient, interesting that no one seemed to care when the saudis originally made that investment in twitter, well before long or the government, which murphy calls, quote, repressive, have long had tons of cash flowing into hollywood and american media elements as advertisers and let's not even get into the lobby cash then to actually influence policy makers in washington. none of that cash had any particular color or citizenship until must took over twitter that when to clawback censorship. now suddenly, this us official is dragging out the old or an interference,

tamar to bash last with fresh president emmanuel. my call is asked recently in an interview with front state media about russian media outlets. re me accessible in france through online platforms like rumble. for instance, invoking the dates russian media banning efforts, mac holstead, quote, were using the information a weapon. what sounds like michael is admitting that censorship is being used as a weapon when french and you officials block access to narratives and details that run counter to their own. sounds like the public's right to be fully informed and make up their own minds about what's going on. the world being shrugged off as collateral damage, you know, can help. but this is a foreign country doing this kind of repressive censorship. relentlessly. well, the same people would be demanding regina j. dare i say west breadth is the 5 pack beginning art contributor rachel marson taken through

germany ta to serbia. it will face consequences over its close ties with moscow. a german government representative reportedly stated that belgrade must choose between russia or the you. but despite pressure such as not because it's not the 1st time we've heard of bell grades, foreign policy remains odds with the position of brussels. the country has not joined anti russian sanctions. and continues its partnership with moscow and a whole host of issues including energy supplies will earlier we discussed the issue with dr. stephan guy edge from the institute of european studies in belgrade . he's of the view that serbia is following its national interests and those making such statements in europe show little respect for that. serbia is never going to become the new member. and this was all to the table at least in my

opinion. and 8, since that time you was pretending that it wants to serbia in it's a member safe. and the all serbia governments were pretending that we are going into this direction. but this was kind of a movie theater, where everybody knew their role in pretending bye to never to last of these are this really a language ultimatums is, is still being imposed on us. and it is very disrespectful to say the least. and i don't think it really will have any facts. big cries here in pakistan, the countries entered a 5th day of protest led by the former prime minister emron can. now he is traveling to the capitol islamabad with a view to staging

a political comeback at the very top government level. a local journalist sent us the following report. good a week. they went on with islam, a lot of good when enron con calls for protesters to go to islamabad, they will all go because they believe their leader. that is why people trust him and have joined him this last day i. we have joined him because im ron con, standing for the truth and justice. we will follow his every step. we will go to islam about on foot. i will stand by him until i die, cause i'm going to get him run con, resolve our problems. he has promised this, we are going to islamabad in our own vehicles. a

bit meeting is law. way on it is all about the capital. are not seeds in a couple of weeks. the u. s. and european countries are ignoring elements of nuclear blackmail from kiev. that's according to russia's defense minister survey. show you how did that kiev continues to conduct quote,

terrorist attacks and has been shelling civilian areas as we saw earlier in the program. it comes at least 3 civilians were killed in ukraine's latest attack and done yes, the city just hours ago, local authorities say the official state as well that t abuse nato supplied artillery to strike the civilian areas and other children's hospital was hit to damaging the building but no casualties were reported. there are teeth from the cost of earlier census this report from the done yet republic. several towns and villages in the nest people's republic have been completely destroyed by ukraine and artillery shelling right now. we're in a town offer, vol, navarra. most of the city looks like this. according to the mayor of vol, navarra, 80 percent of people's houses have been destroyed. now,

many russian regions have been fast with rebuilding of the city. now this particular apartment building is being built by she labinski region in russia. and this is just one of many bridges who are working all over the nest people's republic trying to rebuild infrastructure and the lives of the locals, which is the the school who said that for example, 85 percent of the cities infrastructure was damaged, residential houses and apartments $22.00 houses are listed for demolition. we have one problem now which is the gas supplying fighting on the front line left the gas pipeline broken. and the head of the region promised to build a new pipeline from mary opal with the help of the russian federation. and by the beginning of december, this problem should be resolved apart from restoring roads, construction of brand new apartment buildings shall i. best region is also rebuilding schools and kindergartens. now this particular kindergarten was nearly

destroyed by ukrainian artillery shelling. now it is ready to welcome kids come december. now this is just one of many schools and kindergartners that were destroyed and now completely restored for the kids to attend. down as will of emma have of, and i suffered her direct head to our society and completely demolished the will. and riff danish restoration to repay, tended to meet her over home. everything was restored, the entire building has been renovated every rain. we also had an old building wherein stations are being completed. this is a typical scene for the major part of the city of austin, of aka. now this is a future construction site. as you can see, this house has been reduced to rubble by the ukrainian artillery locals. hope that this soon will become a thing of the past from on cosser of archie, vulnerable,

her dentist, republican ok, something else to tell you about today. former is really ambassador to the you and danny duncan, how slum the united nations order demanding foreign inspectors be allowed to examine the country's nuclear facilities. a un general assembly committee recently overwhelmingly voted to pass that resolution, including to compel israel to the suppose of any atomic weapons it may have. that's unfortunate because all those countries who voted on this resolution should ask themselves, what is the source of instability in the region? is it israel or iran? what is the danger and the threat to the region? and i think that they all know that the threats coming from iran and not israel. the un resolution is aimed at preventing nuclear proliferation in the middle east. while israel has never admitted to having nucular arms, many experts and intelligent services consider it's an unofficial nuclear power, with the capacity to produce such weapons. some as really, officials, however,

have openly spoken about recognizing their country as a new killer state. major general, i think, been israel said that it is time to level with the public about its arsenal. of the weapons are the one tool not can ultimately deal with regional rivals or run. the high ranking figure also stated that it's quote, too late to stop iran gaining the technology to international criminal lawyer. christopher black says is really, authorities have sought to maintain and not so secret advantage as the only nuclear power in the middle east. israel has nuclear weapons and it's not going down, but iran, which does not have nuclear weapons, is sanctioned to condemn because they might develop a civilian nuclear program. north korea is sanctioned because it has nuclear weapons even know it is not a party to the non patient for non the nuclear nonproliferation treaty and says,

all these injustices were the policy rules and the american allies are allowed to get away with doing things, but nobody else is allowed to get away with it's just double standard and exceptionalism, as we've seen in every other instance in the west where the america and its allies, israel, as in now in a position where it has nuclear weapons. and its entire strategy is to suppress anybody else from gaining nuclear weapons, reading nuclear potential as syria or iran. and remember, it's attack to your ran it attack syria and 27 to bomb it's nuclear facilities. it's assassinated iranian scientists, and many other people to try and prevent any, any other middle eastern power becoming a nuclear power, as they are 29 states supports them. so the international community so called which means really me as united states and as western allies is not going to put in any pressure on israel to.
