european countries since then, the conflict in 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 to come with your phone lines right now about the international as russia resume, as participation in the black sea grain deal. though it's only off, the ukraine gives the necessary written guarantees. it will not use dr. humanitarian corridor for military purposes. india says it has no moral concerns about buying energy from russia, claiming the u. s. media is simply whipping up hysteria over the issue. that is, as russia becomes the country's largest oil supplier. also ahead, the canadian online video platform rumbled walks all of its french users and doctorate, rejects to balanced by paris to sent. so russian media out with

always so good to have you with us for this program here. what are you into national, particularly with today's most developments around the world? so straight to a top stories right now, russia has resumed its participation in the black sea grain deal. and according to the russian president, in case the guarantees on not upheld russia is ready to deliver grain supplies on its own to the poorest countries for free. with a little earlier order over his guests and we demanded assurances from 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 that 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. so according to the russian ministry of defense or ukraine has given the necessary safety guarantees full of maritime corridor. let's go through some of the fine details now without ease. maria, if an 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 expert of agricultural products for military purposes. earlier president widen, were put new, 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 issue was addressed at the un security council meeting. moscow accused ukraine of via late in the agreements conditions and also accused. the british troops of been involved in saturday's attack, the agreement known as the black sea grain initiative, brokered by the you 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 worlds, 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 put in the rates rated many times. surprisingly, most of the shapes went to the you instead of african shifting gears to south asia. now, where russia has become the largest oil supplier to india, tober surging to an old time high of 22 percent of total crude imports. and now new delhi, though, has been judged about the morality of buying russian energy. the other judgment coming from a cnn present. we have 60000000 people go into the same old conflict 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 think it's privilege conversation. i've set on record lead now to 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 world. no, we will buy oil gas from when we can get it. well, the u. s. has pressured the country numerous times during bilateral meetings to join the ranks of the west in and see russian sanctions back in june. the u. s. energy envoy asked delhi to rapid growth. so according to the latest starts from the i m f, the country has already overtaken the united kingdom. it's now in 5th position. india has emerged as russia as a 2nd biggest oil customer off the china, western entities avoid purchases from moscow. of course the flow continues now to

head eastwards. when i knew deli based economist, we spoke to 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 foreign policy and we have our own embedded. so 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 did government and that's what india dance is going to be across the government in our future. so as i said earlier in the country, which in 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 grow 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 so good to have your company for this program or this story right now is just starting to start to see daylight. as we understand serbia's defense ministry. so it's forces have downed an unknown drone that had report libby flying near a military base. that's a lot more now across life to watch a contributor, nicola, you over joining us here on this program greatest to you this evening. what more can you tell us about this? unknown drone essentially being downed. good evening to you and your, your according to this information. so this is kind of an escalation since yesterday, because the same as yesterday. we had the drones spying on our military

object. your administrative line with castillo and as serbia minister of defense and president said yesterday, then they will shoot down any similar wrong that these are trying to get some information about our in the region. this become fact today because the long drawn wall we do have some dom, it wasn't huge with anything but it was landed with a chronicler, this functioning because they called the signal and a daunted by using electronic devices for that purpose. drone is of commercial use, so it's not a regular military, their own but of, and let's in average one which we can get pretty cheap. almost in every i'm trying store. it came from directional ministers in crossings. are we the so called or so?

and as the same as yesterday, it was trying to spy on sort of the military object. so the moving of troops and the bases in the so called land, the security alignment, which was formed after the war in 1999. all right, the very latest on this story artic interpreter nicola, you over to appreciate that. thank you very much. representatives from ethiopia and the take gray rebels have agreed to a true city following lengthy peace talks in south africa. the negotiations began last week after the ethiopian army captured several major towns in the rebel region so well more now with our africa correspondent, catabolic what has been 8 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 towards what will be many steps to what's

piece. but the 2 warring 5 in this conflict that's been mostly concentrated around the northern region of if you are in the t grey region. hey, finally agreed to peace. and among some of the agreements that have been made is that there will be a cessation of hostilities. there is an agreement to this um, both sides and also to restore services and also a public services. but here's the thing that was not mentioned by both parties in this, in this negotiation and, and what indeed has come an 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 re government from the northern parts of the

border with eritrea. and without territory, a one can only wonder if these indeed will hold. so there was the elephant inside the room if i made this will. this will effectively give an opportunity to if your p and, and especially a t great kids to be able to go to school, to be able to access humanitarian aid. and that dangled carrot in front of the if you can, government was really the fact that if you will be a, is case strength in america, use their position to, to say to them that you will not have access to any international is the true tional funding and the cash reserves in the situation in the country rather have been so bad that people have been saying that if you'll be as less than a man, this was of cash reserves. but as, as this situation goes on, this is a hopeful sign for the 1st step of peace. but it should be a 1st step in what will be many 1st steps. the canadian based

online video platform rumble has blocked access to the french uses off to paris, demanded the company censor. russian news such as for example, artie france and sport mic like helen musk. i won't move our goalpost for any foreign government. brembo will turn off france entirely, france isn't material to us and we will challenge the legality of this demand. so francis now trying to tell outlets operating in allied countries like canada and the u. s. 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, musk said that of him march that he was asked to block russia, news sources on his starlight satellite network and replied 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 advertising. 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 emanuel michael was asked recently in an interview with french state media about russian 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 cloud with us for this program space x has launched its 1st falcon heavy rocket in 3 years. though its job is to deliver classified military payloads for the us space force, or the heavy lifting ilan mosque, sprain child, and this does market 4th trip to space for this type of rocket. earlier in this program, often donald caught her join me in the studio with more details. says the 1st space

ex launch of a falcon heavy rocket and over 3 years. and it's also simultaneously, interestingly enough, the 1st classified launch, the 1st classified operation of the u. s. space force ever, and this was a branch of the military that was established under the previous administration of donald trump. so what does this operation entail? well, it's experimental us satellites carrying classified payloads on the back of you on the most rocket at the behest of the pentagon. this is something that surprised a lot of people actually, especially because your mother has garnered somewhat of a negative reputation among people in the west and especially ukrainian officials recently because she suggested that maybe kia will have to give up some of its territorial claims for the sake of peace in the ukraine conflict. it does seem that this big, heavy launch dawn, this fall can launch its almost been lost or upstaged by other news regarding your mosque these days, right, right. i would say this event coincided very conveniently with your masks by up of

twitter for eli mosque himself actually because it was just after all last week that he bought the company and the media mainly covered the fact that there were reports that he wanted to fire 3 fourths of twitter staff, this is something that he rejected later. there was also a lot of hype around the fact that he entered twitters headquarters the day before the bye up with the kitchen sink and then posted a video of that on twitter itself, saying that people should let that sink in. but also, just after you almost took control of twitter, these state media labels began to show up on relevant ukrainian accounts as well. these were state media affiliated labels previously only existed on really accounts of questions the way the western mainstream narrative, russian accounts, chinese accounts, arraignment, accounts, etc. so it really seems like all this in combination kind of drowned out the fact that mosque was doing the errands of the pentagon on the side. let's go to the hold . the starling satellite story. we know the mass pretty much in the start of the

conflict and ukraine has been supplying. i don't even know how many of these things absolutely. frontline and center in the conflict. they're being used by nato and other members to support ukraine. take us into the star like styling, i should say argument because he had a disagreement with a d o. d didn't be that's right. actually this, everything we just spoke about in connection to the star link situation is actually giving a lot of people the impression that he's trying to play both sides of this conflict . because musket was actually labeled pro russian by a lot of ukrainian officials after he said that he should perhaps give up its claim on crimea. and he also mentioned that these referendums, in these former ukrainian territories, that recently became part of russia might have signified that these territories actually want to be part of russia. but then at the same time, last month, going back to star link must said he would not shut off the star link satellite system, even if the department of defense refuse to pay for it. this is something that must

wanted the department of defense to do because apparently the company was having trouble keeping up the infrastructure. but let's not forget this. starling system is something that the ukrainian military uses and by and large, 4th communications. and it's lead a lot of ukrainian officials to consider mosque one of the country's top donors, top supporters. so like i said, this is really leading a lot of people to feel to think that must be trying to sit on both sides of the fence here. the e u best to america said that the block has a vested interest in the ukranian conflict. and if president vladimir putin succeeds, the west won't be able to project its power around the world. this is an essential 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, russia cannot be allowed to win because would subvert plans by the united states and the you to dominate the plan. now those are pretty blatant statements calling for head 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 to international financial set up u. s. dollar, the bretton woods agreements. and now we have you asked 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 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 almost forgotten the vicious bombing campaign that washington waged against serbia during the 1990s. and they seemed to just not approve. 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 blatant admission here. that western support for the key of government is not about charity. it's not about the goodness of their hearts, depending 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 for biden's ukraine policy is sinking lower and lower each day

in a move to a repair relations that were 7 and 2019 the leaders of columbia and venezuela have met foot talks, is being seen as a bit to help caracas overcome what some cold out of us lead isolation. well let's get the details now. a correspondent is jessica sosa. from our sister channel asi. spanish will not only okay, boudoir books in the meeting took 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, extend it marked the return to diplomatic relations between columbia venezuela. this time colombian president gustavo beto, visited them your florist palace, where he discussed various issues in a bilateral agenda between columbia, venezuela. because madura summarized and announced in those important results of the meeting me that bit, 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 addressed. but we also focused on the development of cooperation between monteros and pick women as well as joint activities in the production fertilizers entailed in the, to the meeting to leaders also discussed the possibility of strengthening corporation within the community of latin america and caribbean countries. and also considered a migration situation on the border of in a sue, ellen, columbia. the presidents of both states noted that any attempts to break of relations contradict common sense. arlington, 1st of all, we're not talking about governments, but about the peoplesoft both countries and us. 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, dante, they said, you, this is the 1st meeting of the leaders of columbia and venezuela in the last 6

years today, 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 with mom and dad. and meanwhile, president nicholas medea, he said that by the end of 2022, the people of both countries will receive good news. in addition, if president gustavo petro noted that venezuela and columbia repair the joint action park land, which they plan to present at the you and conference on climate change, and the protection of the amazon reinforce other la selva. in addition, the next meeting was scheduled in again with the aim of developing trade 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, all their structure will be different. but the countries will be able to maintain unity. all this is because there is a 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 as well as true. and the way that for years, washington has isolated certain governments in the region like venezuela and cuba, that wall may be cracking some states and latin america joining efforts against what many called that of us lead pressure. give an example, the 18 former latin american and caribbean leaders of actually signed a letter addressing us president joe biden, asking to remove the 6 decade long embargo on havana and to remove cuba from its sponsors of terror list. among the signatories of the left, her 2 former columbian and former brazilian leaders, where they, we did speak to professor of latin american and caribbean studies daniel shore. he says that washington seeks to suppress the countries that lean left in the south. well, have alice 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 then as well. and we see the momentum across the continent, the wind shifting the boulevard in direction, looking just would look at movies victory this past sunday in brazil. so the right way across the continent is on the rhine. 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, joe, 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 trying to determine its own destiny, both parties in the united states will continue to define cuba notices an enemy, but they've put uber. cuba on this artificial group of states this 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. the u. s. time that european countries are ignoring elements of nuclear black male from key f, that's according to russia as minister of defense. so again, showing you added the key of continues to conduct quote, terrorist attacks and has been continually shuttling civilian areas. now it comes as local authorities say, at least 3 civilians were killed in ukraine's latest attack on the city of don. yes,

on wednesday, official said nato artillery was used to strike on civilian areas, adding that children's hospital was head. let's get this report now from ortiz, or remind cause of we are on the outskirts of the city of genette square, the sounds of war, or content and images like these are absolutely everywhere this house was destroyed by the ukrainian rocket on tuesday. thankfully there were no injuries here right now we can still hear the sounds of shelling. the front line is a mere kilometer away from where we are. these people ah right now, saving the remainder of their belongings. their dream, his for this conflict to be over as soon as possible,

so they can find the live peaceful lives. barely brilliant, billy, tioga roach. if the fur shell flew over the 2nd, flew over to the 3rd fowl. well, you can see for yourself what happened. the roof was broken, the kitchen was smashed, nothing left of the fence. you know what i'm tired of all this. my nerves can't take it. you do something, they destroy everything every time. so why do anything is the same for every one here? someone's house was destroyed and someone was killed. it's unbearable to feel include, you know, skim than what we are. refugees, we live in hostels, we live anywhere we can talk. everyone wants to go home and see at least something what we are told what's to see there. everything is destroyed, only stones are lasted, but it's our home. it belongs to you and no one knows how everything will turn out in the future. civilian casualties here in donnette scans in the rest of the de nascar republic continued to mount on a daily basis of the last 24 hours. at least 2 people have been killed.

2 elderly women, 2 people were injured. but as the day progresses, that number may still grow as ukrainian nationalist continues shelling, residential area of the people's republic from on costs of rti. don't ask, i correspond roman cause wrapping up this our program here on off the international from moscow. so could i have your company, thank you for sharing your time with us here. we will be back soon with the .
