the what wednesday is being so far, tons of heavy hit is in your program tonight. it's all into national, it's great to have your company. so russia has now resumed its participation and that of the black sea grain deal. and according to the russian president, in case the guarantees are not upheld, russia is ready to deliver grain supplies on its own to the poorest countries. for free. we have a little earlier order, whereas vista we demanded assurances from the ukrainian side and guarantees that nothing like this will happen in the future. that humanitarian corridors will not be used for military purposes or turkish partners, acted as a mediator. in this situation, the ministry of defense received information from the turkish side. such assurances were given by ukraine not to use these humanitarian corridors for military purposes

. in this regard, i have given instructions to the ministry of defense to resume our participation in the work. at the same time, russia reserves the right to withdraw from these agreements. if these guarantees are violated by ukraine. even if russia withdraws from the deal will be ready to deliver the same amount of grain to the poorest countries for free matching, the total that has been delivered from the territory of ukraine. meanwhile, according to the russian ministry of defense, ukraine has given the necessary safety guarantees for the continuation of usage of the maritime corridor. some of the finer details for you now with a correspondent, maria fin ocean. very good news indeed today 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 took e 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 agricultural 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 saturdays attacked the agreement known as the black sea grain initiative. a brokered by the u. s. and took here was signed earlier in july in easton ball with the participation of the ukrainian and russian side as well. and it allowed boats with crops to freely leave the unblocked ukrainian ports. and it was very important. moscow was repeatedly accused of provoking world's food crises

by start in a special milt operation in ukraine. but russia repeatedly denied it saying that western sanctions against moscow is the main reason behind global food supply chains. disruption. the idea, the main mission of this important grain deal was to help starving africa and poorest countries that were most hate to survive. but moscow had always had many questions on how it was implemented as and putting the rates rated many times. surprisingly, most of the shapes went to the you instead of african, are shifting gears to south asia now, where russia has become the largest oil supply to india in october. so going to an old time high of 22 percent of all total crude imports. and although new delhi has been judged about the morality of buying russian energy, though the judgment coming from a cnn presenter,

we have 60000000 people going to the same. all compensate with buying washing. absolutely none, absolutely none. i think this is something you're creating in cuba studio. no, that's no. i don't have to scribble it's conversation. i've set on record moderately now. do you? i took you earlier and when we don't feel any pressure more, the government doesn't feel the pressure. we are the 5th largest economy in the whoa, no, we will buy oil gas from when we can get it. well, it is true that the u. s. has pressed to the country numerous times during bilateral meetings to join the ranks of the west and, and see russia sanctions back in june, the u. s. energy envoy asked delhi to restrain its oil purchases from russia. in the meantime, india has been stressing it will buy whatever it needs for the economic development of the country. so india is on the way to become the 3rd largest economy in the world with its rapid economic growth. that is, according to the latest i m f report,

the country has already overtaken the u. k. it's now in 5th position. in india has emerged as russia is 2nd biggest oil customer off the china. western entities avoid poachers is from moscow. so the flow continues to go eastwards. well, a new deli based economist we spoke with earlier believes india is simply putting its own welfare fast. india is an independent country with a very independent foreign policy. and we now a good nation that can define the digital billable foreign policy, and we have our own embed it to go. that is absolutely no question about now dying . you anybody do any country at all? and we will only act in our national interest. and that's what india has been across, we do government and that's what in the stands is going to be across the government in a future. so as i said earlier in the country ridge expecting more

and more people to join the middle and high income groups as we grow. another data that has come out is that the number of people learning more than $35000.00 here. going to group group bipolar in india. and if we are looking at that group to be, are looking at becoming a bi trillion dollar economy, then we need to have an independent foreign policy. and we need to procure all sorts of resources that we can get your company tonight. the canadian based online video platform rumble has blocked access to the french uses of the powers, the amount of the company sense russian news sources such as r, t, france and sputnik like, isla must, i won't move our goal posts for any foreign government. brumbalow will turn off france entirely, france isn't material to us and we will challenge the legality of this demand. so

for this now, trying to tell outlets operating in allied countries like canada and the us, what they can and can't do on their own platforms. 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. but once he compared his actions to those of elan muss, who has been waging a battle against censorship on various fronts, must said that of him march that he was asked to block russian news sources on his starlight satellite network can reply quote, we will not do so unless at gunpoint, sorry to be a free speech, absolutist democratic senator chris murphy is now demanding a u. s. government investigation into must own twitters financial participation from saudi arabia, which is the platform 2nd largest. interesting that no one seem to care when the saudis originally made that investment in twitter long before must came along or

that government switch murphy calls quote, repressive. have had tons of cash flowing into hollywood and american media outlets as advertisers. let's not even get into the lobbying cash spent influence actual policy makers in washington. and that cash conveniently didn't have any particular color or censorship until musk took over vowing to callback censorship. now suddenly this u. s. official is driving out the old foreign interference hammered use against him . french president, emmanuel, michael was asked recently in an interview with french state media about russia, media outlets remaining accessible in france through online platforms like rumble, for instance. and he evoked the states russian media bonnie efforts, and he said, quote, were using the informational weapon. so it sounds like michael is admitting that censorship is being used as a weapon when french and you officials block access to narratives in details that run counter to their own. sounds like the public's right to be fully informed, to make up their own minds about what's going on in the world is being shrugged off

as collateral damage. and you know, i can't help but think that this was a foreign country doing this kind of repressive censorship. they pretty much be demanding regime change by now. the you ambassador to the united states has said that the block has a vested interest in the ukranian conflict. and that if president vladimir putin succeeds, the west won't be able to project its power around the world. this is an a central battle for us. if you succeed, you know, we're going to have a tremendous amount of difficulty as americans and europeans to project a power on the world for decades to come. if you listen to what he said, there seemed to be 2 arguments being ne, the 1st being made that russia can't be allowed to win. because if russia and china ruled the world, it will be off. and secondly, rasa cannot be allowed to win because would subvert plans by the united states and the u to dominate the plan. now those are pretty blatant statements calling for

hedge jamante, and it's not the 1st time we've heard western officials basically allude to the same thing or make similar brandy os proclamations. here's what we've heard before . this fight is not jest in ukraine's interest. it is in the global entrust to protect as a secretary pointed out the roles base international order. and that is our purpose that has been given to us the uniform military from our civilian leadership, which is to uphold the rules based international order that was established some 80 years ago. at the conclusion of world war 2, now the united states rose to global dominance due to the post world war 2, international financial set up u. s. dollar, the bretton woods agreements. and now we have you as officials talking about this rules based global order. now they never clearly state what the rules of this rules based global order are. i seems like they keep moving the goal post essentially,

the only rule it's inconsistent is whatever washington says go. now you can see this most blatantly recently with the situation regarding serbia, serbia maintains good relations with russia. i and you have a situation where in the aftermath of serbia, assigning a bilateral cooperation agreement with russia, we have e, you officials, the lashing out at serbia, voicing their outrage. and they seemed of almost forgotten the vicious bombing campaign that washington waged against serbia during the 19 ninety's. and they seemed just not approved. or the fact that serbia might want to have a good relationship with a major power like russia. the need for a decision is coming to a hayden view of geopolitical developments. the relationship was so be as complex. there is light as well as shadows. sub he is relations with russia currently part of the shadows. if alexander virginia takes the path to europe, he will have support from the you as a whole and from the german government, should he choose the other path?

it will be in soothing consequences. is, is how western leaders expect countries to operate with no national interest of their own simply our way or the highway. and it's important to know that we're seeing blayton admission here. that western support for the key of government is not about charity. it's not about the goodness of their hearts defending democracy, all the rhetoric that we're hearing. in reality, they are fighting to preserve a global set up where western countries remain the center of the global economy and they remain the center of power in the world. meanwhile, we're seeing rising protests in europe against the economic results of these sanctions on russia and public opinion polls in the united states show that support biden's ukraine policy is sinking lower and lower each day. far before we go live to jo, bug, our representatives from ethiopia and the a t gray rebels. if agree to a truce, sits following lengthy peace talks in south africa. the negotiations began last

week after the ethiopian army captured several major towns in the rebel region. it's time to learn more right now on these negotiating results in cross live to africa correspond the various categories i taught, lifting by life ross and job of just about quarter past 7 in the evening where you are. so as i understand after more than a week of these p stokes are cut up. oh that some sort of breakthrough to discuss here. give us the details, please. that is indeed correct, rory, what has been a days of a new african union, lead negotiations, negotiations which can only be described as intense because it took this long for us to get the 1st step to what, what will be many steps towards piece. but as you say, the 2 warring sides in this conflict that's been mostly concentrated around on the northern region of if the

o p are in the t grey region have finally agreed to peace. and among some of the agreements that have been made is that there will be association of hostilities. there is an agreement to this both sides and also to restore the services and also public services. but here's the thing that was not mentioned by both parties in this invest negotiation and, and what in the have come and agreement. there was no mention of the retreat and government. they have been the foreign forces fighting alongside the federal government of ethiopia. and they have not been mentioned at all with regard to this and they have been fighting the t great government from the northern parts of the border with eritrea and without retreat. one can only wonder if these indeed will hold. so there was the elephant inside the room if i may, but no one knows what this actually means. and no one actually knows how the

monitoring of the peace agreement will be or how it will be resource. there's many unknowns as part of this, and you get a sense that that shaking team was really under pressure to come up with something . and they hadn't been talk about the pressure that's been laid by the american government, which is ironical, considering the position with regards to ukraine. now when you look at the crating situation, the american government have given $18000000000.00 since the beginning of february in military aid to ukraine. but here on the horn of africa, they have been pressurizing the european government to really come to association of possibilities. it's amazing how they can speak for one, for peace in one region and not in another reason. but as i'm saying the, the, this will, this will effectively give an opportunity to if the o, p and, and especially a t grade kids to be able to go to school to be able to access humanitarian aid.

and the dangled kara in front of the if you appear, government was really the fact that if you will, if k strep, than america use their position to say to them that you will not have access to any international institution, all funding and the cash reserve in the situation have in the country, rob, i have been so bad that people have been saying that if you'll be less than a month, worth of cash reserves and definitely be less than what it would be to have the importance coming in as the a heavy importing nation that lend logged in the horn of africa, but as, as the situation goes on, this is a, a hopeful sign for the 1st step of peace. but it should be a 1st step in what will be many steps they if that this, this agreement cannot hold without the agreement of the retreat and forces. and the power was that the wheel,

they have been really the big machinery they have been helping. they feel can government force through even, especially after some of the heavy losses that they had incurred. and the entry and forces are part of the reason why mckinley the capital of p gray has been circled by the forces that have been fighting each other. that's the retreat and forces as well as the ethiopian forces. they is a service also that the industry and government is more best than in the t. great reason because of a long spending war and notation of better have been there between them and the gray and people and that they will not be so easy to this in this cut. certainly some fascinating details in your report, the kara, both details that you just won't get on the mainstream media are africa, correspond and kind of all the top. we're joining us live. thank you very much. well, in a move to repair relations, it was severed in 2019 of the leaders of columbia, and venezuela have met foot tall now it's being seen as a,

a bit to help caracas overcome what summer calling us, lead isolation. let's get some details here. now, with corresponding jessica sosa, from spanish, not only okay, boudoir books in the meeting to the place at him, her florist palace in caracas, and lasted about 3 hours. then as to william president nicholas madura described it as fruitful, rich, and versatile, extensive marked to return to diplomatic relations between columbia venezuela. this time colombian, president gustavo better visited them your florist palace, where he discussed. there is a, she's in a bilateral agenda between columbia and as to a level here because madura summarized and announced he knows important results of the meeting. believe it, i am a former to farm bureau, hamper we discussed a lot about trade relations, economic relations as well. as new steps to fully and safely opened the borders between columbia in venezuela, the issue of security and insuring proper and adequate operation of these borders was address. but also focused on the development of cooperation between monteros

and pick women as well as joint activities in the production fertilizers until the end of june. the meeting to leaders also discussed the possibility of strengthening corporation within the community of latin america and caribbean countries. and also visited a migration situation on the border of an as to ellen, colombia by the president of both states. no to them. any attempts to break of nations contradict common sense. i didn't 1st we'll, we're not talking about governments, but about the peoplesoft of those countries. it also, you know, in addition, colombian president, gustavo petro, my address, the need to lay sounded foundations for the, for restoration off relations between the states and pointed to the ongoing attempts to establish the situation in particular and latin american regional dom pick. ainsley said, this is the 1st meeting of the leaders of columbia and venezuela in the last 6 years. to day we face a difficult task of normalizing relations which should begin with the restoration of borders to date control over the border as in the hands of the mafia. these are organizations with multinational leadership on wilma and duncan. meanwhile,

president nicolas medea, if he said that by the end of 2022, the people of both countries will receive good news. in addition, if president gustavo petro noted at venezuela in columbia had a joint action at clark land, in which they plan to present at the un conference on climate champs and the protection of the amazon reinforce or the la selva. in addition, the next meeting was scheduled in again with the aim of developing 3 relations implement azelli's, video g. i believe that the multi lateral and multi polar approach that both present share is common to all of latin america. it will contribute to the development of our region, even if the positions taken by the states or their structure will be different. but the countries will be able to maintain unity. all this is because there is demand for development among the peoples of our region. such an approach will allow not only latin american countries, but also the whole world to move forward in the name of fraternal relations between people. somehow or for years, washington has

a while isolated certain governments in the region like venezuela and for example, your cuba. but that wall may be cracking were some states in latin america are joining efforts against that of u. s. lead pressure, 18. former latin american and caribbean leaders have actually signed a letter addressing u. s. president joe biden, asking to remove the 6 decade long embargo on havana and to remove cuba from his sponsors of terrorism list. among the signatories of the latter are 2 former colombian and former brazilian leaders or earlier we did speak to professor of our latin american and our caribbean studies. mr. daniel shaw, he says that washington seeks to suppress the countries that lean left in the south have a listen with the united states government, the u. s. foreign policy. both 100 democrats, as well as republicans, has done it, is sorry to shoot down any shining star of sovereignty in the caribbean in south

america. they're afraid they could be a 2nd. cuba and a 3rd cuba a 2nd venezuela. when we see the momentum across the continent, the winds shifting the boulevard in direction. look, just look at movies, victory this past sunday in brazil. so the right wing across the continent is on the right. they are afraid of all of these different examples of socialist government and social democracies that have created a new path back towards self determination in the region. to michael review. ted cruz, jo, biting in the full spectrum of american political actors, mainstream local actors had their way. they would re colonize cuba tomorrow, and that's the only way they would stop this blockade. as long as cuba try determined its own destiny, both parties in the united states will continue to define cuba notices an enemy,

but they've put huber cuba on this artificial group of state support terrorism. even though that has no there's no evidence of that. but it's a politicized list so that they continue, they can continue to try to justify their relentless aggression against the cuban people. all right, now are straight to the ukranian port of odessa, where the federal investigators found a helicopter inside a container, reportedly waiting to be smuggled out of the country. the discovery comes amid rising concerns about weapons pouring out of ukraine and into the hands of criminal and the radical groups. i just last week finish fully said western supplied weapons had been found multiple european countries. meanwhile, and anonymous senior u. s. army official has claimed to the media that american military personnel on now officially in ukraine,

helping to keep track of the billions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment that has been sent to the authorities. and key of the claim comes as the u. s. government issued its 1st to have a detailed plan on countering weapons smuggling, mainly to stop the smuggling of javelin and stinger missiles. however, the document admits, quote, the chaotic nature of combat does make it difficult. let's get more on this right now and speak to a former c i. a analyst and ceo of bug associates, larry johnson. now joining us here in our team international, a very warm welcome to use. first of all, is there a danger that this mission that us troops are now officially on the ground and ukraine could that lead larry to, to further escalation? i mean, what, what if a russian asteroid ends up resulting in the deaths of us servicemen? i actually think this lake was a pre emptive li to recognize that there are us troops that are likely likely already casualties. so in other words, in maybe in the next week or so,

we'll learn that there have been us casualties on the ground in ukraine. and that can be attributed, they will say to they were doing weapons inspections. when you read some of the news reports on this, it just doesn't make sense. they said, for example, all these inspectors, they're not going to go to the front lines. well yeah, they'll go inspect high marson, m triple 7. and those are back from the front line. but that's where the russians are carrying out attacks. so it's not like there is some safe place you can go in ukraine right now, given what we've seen with rushes ability to carry out missile strikes throughout the country. it's also important to note that the current defense that dash k, brigitte, or general garrick parma sign of our, he was appointed in july intended that the problem with weapons going missing to, has been dates back to is, are, you know, probably march,

once the united states and nato started selling weapons. and as you noted you earlier and your report, c, b s did provide a pretty damning report about the lack of controls. it's not difficult to control and monitor what the, the scope it requires. you simply put it in a system of accountability and check larry at all if it's not difficult to track where all these weapons are going, the latest state of the military, high tech weapons, then why do they keep winding up in, for example, scandinavian and european countries because they don't want to put a system in place to control it. there's a reason it's called organized crime. and ukraine has a long tradition of organized criminal activity. i've investigated over the last 20 years with respect to cigarettes smuggling, liquor smuggling and the smuggling of luxury automobiles. it's a know,

these guys have hierarchies. they have networks, they have individuals who get paid. so this was, this has been happening all along. i wouldn't have been surprised to see, for example, some of the organized criminal groups took, transporting the weapon systems themselves. they set up transportation companies to get those weapons to the front and would always take a tax on their own part. there was also the element of the weapons that had been captured by russia that were abandoned by ukrainian troops. those i think you are actually more secure that a more secure situation than that which has been what you've cray. but can i, can i jump in? i'm so i'm so sorry, but i got a little time to pick your brain that's forgive me please. america, washington biden. keep saying america is not a direct part of the you to the conflict in ukraine. what we could discuss out to the college come home. now we've got official confirmation that us military personnel are in ukraine. the cover theory. the idea is, well, they're monitoring where all the weapons are going. i mean, look, larry, be straight with me. ok. the conflict mean going on?

it's been going on since the end of february. we know there have been all sorts of mercenaries in many parts of ukraine for a very long time. now. wouldn't it be fair to say, i know it's speculation, we've got no proof of this, but would you say the already us servicemen, u. s. military personnel have already died in the conflict on the ground in ukraine? i think there been a few, but it would have been more highly publicized. but i think the fact that this news is coming out now is assigned sort of a desperation and panic on the part of the west because they, the conventional approach was not working. they're trying to get more personnel in their help actually operate some of these weapons systems. the notion that these guys with green shades walking around just recording where the, where the javelin, the stingers, and the high mars are going is nonsense. this, this is, i think, really more of a cover story to explain as a, as it will emerge. i think in the coming days that there have been us casualties as

a result of some of the russian missile strikes. that's really interesting inside for me, for my cia analyst and a ceo of book associates, a larry johnson, joining us live here on the international. appreciate your time. thank you very much. thank you, rory. thank you. i thank you for your time as well. in joining us for the program from moscow, this is our international. we look forward to seeing use for los prior to february 24th. ukraine was just another eastern european country since then. the conflict and ukraine is created deep divisions all across europe and beyond russia in europe today virtually have no common ground. this may be the case for a very long time become.
