9:06 am
or to north north africa now where's we understand less than i one and 10 people voted into his years. recent parliamentary elections off the opposition parties on trade unions all cold for a massive boy caught about his i stayed away in an apparent protest against the president's decision earlier this year to dissolve parliament and expand his authority of the actions as fog violent protests by the opposition, who accused the president of the power grab? will details not without ease. hums are good to be in a delicate auto and mo, through different opinions and comments on the outcome of the parliamentary elections. hearing tunisia, especially with regard to the turn out, which did not exceed 9 percent. the head of the electoral committee said the turn out was low, but not shameful. he attributed the reluctance to participate in these elections, to the adoption of a new electoral law that introduce a number of amendments to the self nomination and voting procedures. in addition to regulating the campaign financing process,
9:07 am
he actually defended the low turn out as a reflection of the transparency and the lack of political funds invest in the last election for shaping voters opinions. the political commentary of political parties has changed, especially opposition once like the national salvation front, which includes the renaissance movement and other parties, as well as the free constitutional party and the republican party, which consider such a turn out a failure for the tunisian president and his political course, they regarded this outcome as an earthquake and called on the president to step down and start talks between different political parties to agree on a roadmap to help get out of this crisis. only ela, this comes to me the 12th anniversary of the events which spock the so called arab spring, which began in to nicea and all across the region. december 2010, the country. so what ultimately was a western backed revolution breakout which really hit the headlines when a local st. seller set himself on fire, is a self immolation kicked off
9:08 am
a wave of regime change. demonstrations that lead to the toppling of the nation has been long serving president. meantime, according to the un, more than $220.00 units died in the protests. and since then the country has just faced economic and social turmoil in an incessant right. well, the south african president there really crime a force has been reelected as leader of the ruling africa national congress for a 2nd 5 year term and a party leadership contest. are the african correspondent, catabolic tattler has more on this. south africa's ruling party, the african national congress meets every 5 years to elect new leadership as well as and dos policy. as a response to a myriad of south africa's issues. while they have been meeting here in the south of johannesburg. now, as we stand here, so i'm a poser stands as a re elected president of the african national congress. and this time,
9:09 am
not by the gossamer thin margin of a 171 bows that he had in 2017, but over 670. this has been an overwhelming victory for a man who have been s and our pressure to come up with a response to the charges that that the independent panel report wanted to level or at least investigate. with regards to his paula paula from robbery, that had been some 2 years ago. now se still has a lot of issues to deal with. among them, they have to address the pressing matters, such as corruption, accused members of the party and how to seem like the university treating all members the thing. there is also the issue of the alliance. the african national congress comes with the south african communist party, as well as casa to which is the congress of south african trade union. another thing that they have to grapple with is the issue of south africa's porous borders
9:10 am
. this has been opposition. parties really take votes from the african national congress, as the hum on about and nationalist view that has been gaining some traction here. and the african national congress is trying very hard just to look like the arteries wanting to the issues that south africans on the ground have been complaining about. but he has a view from some of the people that we're here to support. they are branches. their delegates and in the overall sense, i guess the men who want set out, i'm opposed. so i believe that this new leadership will be able to consolidate all the forces and put in one direction. it's working because the old problem, teeth decided and be brought back. i'm a post as the president and this late which was agreed upon by all coordinators of all provinces. so i think that i'm opposed nutrition which is coming, you know, is going to bring change and that's again,
9:11 am
there's no contract. we are going to be united as much as much done before. betty had been excited and i will go to that i'm, i will go and need to come and see and then we'll add 5 caught up in cobb county the lit up. let me know if i'm not about people. so we want to that on my part to care about that i can believe this time around, the president is more emboldened by the leadership collective. just come out from this conference. so with this leadership that the delegates of the agency i've given him to work with, you will have more coverage to take the fish and settle them up. first, by give the president when rocky testy and at times looked like it had pinned him against the robe. now with an emboldened mandate, one only wait to see just how quickly that was when an egg,
9:12 am
some of the agreed upon policies and the reforms that he has promised the south african public lodge. will he? when will he got out? party in south john is are shifting gears now to peru, where people across the country have marched on the streets morning. those who died in vive and clashes that are up to last week. so we understand, at least $23.00 locals were killed, or the unrest erupted across several cities in the country, often then president petro, cuz she wouldn't teach parliament. as vice president, deena blew out of a inherited the post protest is of course, well, a power grab and illegitimate. i will. she says she's not going to step down. and while she questions the motives of goes, we're calling for her to go. i know i love your lens. yeah. what does my resignation fall holy? does it solve the problem? it doesn't. we will be here firmly until congress decides to bring forward the
9:13 am
election. i'm going to see, they say, let dina board a resign. why? because i am a woman or because they see me as incapable of good governance. they are wrong. you know, well, despite the violence against the protesters, several western countries including the us, have reiterated full support for the current president. so let's take this further, not without the total quarter. joining us here on the monday afternoon in the studio. is this the story? i mean it's almost like a 10 to box going up here. it only seems to get worse and worse and louder. peru has its 1st female president donald, and despite these deadly protest sheet, refusing to budge, that's right. and also the west has basically, well, a number western countries i've put their support behind her. specifically the united states and canada behind dina boulevard is unelected governments. the same government that actually has come to power by a congress that has between 7 and 11 percent of support from the population,
9:14 am
according to recent polls. and on the other hand, the ousting and detainment of the former president pedro castillo has actually angered a lot of latin american leaders. we heard from columbia as president pedro gustavo who basically spoke out in support of his peruvian counterpart. and we also heard from the former president of bolivia, able morales, he called on the international community to take action to secure the release of castillo, we call in the international community, especially the un agencies and the inter american commission on human rights to put a stop to the deaths and serious human rights violations suffered by the brotherly peruvian people for demanding the constituent assembly and the release of its president. i was 25 people already, unfortunately dead from this violence. the situation is also upsetting a lot of officials within the country as well. i mean, bulwark is ministers of culture and education have both resigned already out of frustration. so it's also not clear if these resignations are going to be the end
9:15 am
of it either. so it's one thing that have protests and demonstrations is also, i mean, is ghastly news to hear about some of these protests toting deadly donald, but we also have raids going on as well. what else can you tell us? well, the on saturday the left wing new peru party said it, it released actually videos of policemen in civilians, clothing rating their offices. the party said that this was a violation of their funding, mental rights because lawyers and onlookers were not actually allowed into the building to observe what was going on. so we, after that heard a statement from the general secretary of that party announcing the rates as well as denouncing similar ones against another left wing opposition group in peru. let's take a listen to what he said, hey, you know, they, they broke into premises that belong to the new a peru party. and the president confederation of peru acting against comm, rates from different provinces and regions. peacefully protesting against what is
9:16 am
happening now. improve, we are experiencing a very critical period tutorial period because this situation cannot be called democracy. how brothers and sisters are being killed and we will not tolerate any more than mine by every one to the square so that everyone can declare their position not peacefully, protest against what is happening to me here at the headquarters at new a crew on the confederation. also come rates and other provinces spend the night peacefully protesting. we can't stand, it's the media to store everything. the room is in terms of this raid on the offices of the peasant confederation of peru. a video also did surface on twitter of a man who appeared to be on the scene who is accusing the police actually of planting evidence on them in the, in those buildings. so as these deaths from the violence are likely going to continue as long as this, these violent protests continue and we're hearing accusations of government abuse. it's unclear how much longer boulevard is government even might have the choice on
9:17 am
whether it's going to resign or not. this story is not fading away anytime soon. ne, don't know, quarter. thank you. a russian official wounded in a package bomb attack on moscow's mission to the central african republic is now to be brought home for treatment. the following footage, you can actually see some locals are waiving some a russian flags right there, as they were protesting against france. his role in the country admission had dmitri city is driven to bangle. yep. what we understand. he was seriously injured when the bomb went off 3 days ago. he was immediately hospitalized in a stable condition and to poland, that now where a national newspaper has published 2 articles by public political figures that challenge the west narrative on the situation in ukraine. have alice cru, boda writes, i assume that the war in ukraine is not a desperate defense of a threatened nation, but a so called proxy war between russia and the west with ukrainian suffering losses
9:18 am
at the expense of various, mainly american military lobbies. clearly, cold war hawks use the war in ukraine in their interests, in the heroic defenders of ukraine. sovereignty are also obviously admirable. but almost no one writes about the former and almost every one about the latter. it's easy to imagine what our american friends would do. the training center for mexican soldiers led by russian, all chinese instructors was suddenly opened near the mexican polt of a cruise. and the training program could prepare for the recovery of the territory of the present state of new mexico and maybe even parts of california. so let's think seriously about what russians may think and feel when western instructors, mainly anglo saxons, have been training, ukrainian, soldiers, and participants. so the so called volunteer battalions, regiments in several centers preparing them for an attack on the crimea, a most likely also on russia itself. will opponent, government and media have closely followed what basically has been
9:19 am
a western narrative since russia's operation began in february, the polish president describing the conflict as quote and imperialistic war will. let's discuss this further crossing life. now the under de palma 1000, a german, a tony in america, americans professor of law and south africa, very warm welcome to you. so thanks for joining us here on the program on. it seems as if some perhaps polish analysts to starting to challenge. but the mainstream perception of that over the conflict in new cried what's, what's, what's your immediate take love the immediate take of causes that, that freedom of opinion and freedom of thought can never be silence for a long time. and, and i think to encourage listeners, but also tory mind politicians, it, it goes that there's a wonderful story that goes back to 1781. when king frederick the 2nd off prussia was told that there was a crowd trying to read to read a plaque art that was mocking his majesty. but they had struggled to read it and
9:20 am
they were pushing each other because it was hung very high, protected from the police and, and king frederick or contemporary york, catherine the great dryly and simply said, thinks that plat, todd lower down, that they may read it at their ease, this is the attitude that mature government should take, allow opinions to flock and in poland as well as in germany and france and in america. some of the most notable people like press a jeffrey sachs, foreign policy adviser to 5 american presidents at columbia university for the most time in germany. some of the most notable intellectuals and an open letter to chance of shots and now in baldwin are, are raising of a simple question. how can you promote peace by army? how can you promote peace with weapons for this year? this is a very good point. you bring it up here and i'm so glad to hear it as well. when
9:21 am
you mentioned that olaf shoulds. so what about a bit of henry kissinger and there as well? he's been advising presidents going, but he's must be 199 years old. now, mr. henry kissinger, but you know, both of them. it had come out basically saying that that ties must not be broken. the threads of connections between on the diplomatic circles, between russia and germany, they must not be broken. henry kissinger coming out saying it's time to come to the negotiating table. wanted to just draw your attention. andre, to to the comments from of the former polish finance minister. he talked about the main beneficiaries of the conflict in ukraine. he was actually saying that western military industrial lobbyist so that the military industrial complex is the one unit that's really benefiting from the conflict in ukraine. absolutely. as i phenomena go insane profit, i can be being written by, by a destructive industry in industry that does not promote measures against climate change or the improvement of educational life standards. it's,
9:22 am
it's an industry that produces weapons of mass destruction and more and more are being channelled to ukraine. and it is like an obsession of some. definitely, president biden is obsessed with arming the ukraine, as some people say until the last ukranian live. so it is impossible to find peace swamps, modern conflict resolution, as kissing jazz pointed out to be 3 days ago in the whole comprehensive plan. it can only be achieved by, by listening to each other by addressing the roots of the conflict. why? why did somebody feel compelled to use force? and it is very simplistic to say that russia is conducting a war of aggression. when clearly, there is a tenure run up to that situation which can't be blended up. but i believe in the good traditions. russia is part of europe since 1781.
9:23 am
the great frederick and the grave. catherine, russia, and europe, especially germany and russia, have always been together. so i do hope that more intellectuals will speed out and will put pressure on on, on governments that seem to, to run, to benefit from an arms race. and tell me a 1000, a german attorney and america's professor of lower and south africa. joining us live here in offering some very interesting insight. thank you for your time today . thank you. my fears battles have been raging along the front lines and bon bass with ukraine's neo nazi i. dod battalion reportedly suffering heavy losses. the unit initially founded by altura nationalist activists supporting the euro. my don qu 8 years ago. it's been accused of seeking to press pro russian groups in the region. details now with a correspondent, he has eagle dot off. he was,
9:24 am
sorties have repeatedly hailed ukraine as an apotheosis of democracy, the ultimate western value that now needs protection at all costs great. his 9 ukrainians know that the strength of our democracy will be a guarantee that no tyranny to the east of us will be able to threaten europe. muslims, being at unity, we share common values, we fight for them. i think that this is exactly what the united states supports democracy and freedom of my, my mobile to silliman, but we must be strong until our com and victory to preserve all the we value so much as we must never stop protecting freedom and democracy. you'll hear any objections to these claims coming out of ukraine now, but that hasn't always been the case. the current government and key if is a direct descendant over regime installed in the course of a bloody revolution in 2014 back then the population did not realize the consequences of speaking out against the power was about to take over the throne
9:25 am
and keep their handling of protesting voices was very far from democratic ways. this newly emerged video sheds more light on how the modern revolution of 2014 relied on vigilantes to crush descent. with armed men and civilian clothing jump out of unmarked vehicles. they run towards peaceful protesters, round them up and take to an unknown location. policemen are snuggled together on the sidewalk, idly watching this may him unfold before them. this is the exact spot from the
9:26 am
video, but well of course, several years on basically down that street, the ukranian tanks, they were trying to enter the city and to crush any resistance to the people, the locals who weren't, who weren't in agreement with what happened at the my done mt of they stopped the ukrainian key of military vehicles in their tracks. and basically that was the queue for what later became the new nazi ida battalion, their members, their goons, to join in. all these armed men belong to the ida battalion, then anonymous to the public. the group would lay to thunder with notoriety all across ukraine. his members became the go to henchmen of the post revolution authorities operating under the black flag. yet about o ferrera shortage. i was working for farmers for me and then on one of my days off i was taken to a checkpoint. i thought i was there unarmed me and we were observing the police for
9:27 am
a couple of weeks and a block court then they took me to i darn, gave me a uniform delay, gave me an assault rifle, ripple slice, and soon i was standing on the road with the police, we checked to local residence. i dar was standing on the lugen side and then a formal. they stopped cars, buses, him a lot of people were going toward spot over and harker for it on the missionary to me. i dar stopped them just held them for a long time. is they checked them in some were turned back with nothing. i that's right. i didn't submit any document is okay. i didn't sign anywhere to live. they just gave me the rifle and that was that quite al militant, specialized and doing all the dirty work that officials didn't want to directly associate with an exchange. they enjoyed all the mafia style privileges pregnant again, you should, bellville mcgee, and i dont militant, wouldn't consider that people in our village is human beings exerted fresh on the
9:28 am
rural community. they never talk to people look down in every line as if they, the king. eagle had nothing to them. he ceased people's' cars, modified them and drove them around 20 of them. that's not up there as early. we'll have repeatedly come to us and introduce themselves. representatives of the i dar battalion mobility, they wanted to take my car business, then i moved the car far way to a paid parking lot and then sold it low either was connected with people about to head of the local miniature enlistment of money. and they began to surround the buildings with cars and took people to the armies. when i got a job, i was issued the bankcard with which the crane an armed forces paid me a salary of a different people came for that celery and took it all away. if they liked some one's car, they took it. if they like to business, it was as good as theirs. if some one crossed them, they were a walking dead man. this meat packing plant served as a base for the either battalion in the lo ganske republic. but it's known to locals
9:29 am
not due to its military weight, but rather because of its tortured dungeons ah this is one example of how the maiden revolution in ukraine was carried on the shoulders of death squads. the most harrowing, one unfolded in odessa when dozens of anti might, and activists were burned alive in the crate union house, where they sought shelter from another mob. more than 8 years on he has failed
9:30 am
conduct a proper investigation of the tragedy. all surviving members of the aid of italy and have been since shuffled with ukraine's regular army where they now serve as soldiers. showing that while keith has indeed tried to sweep uncomfortable history under the rug, it has hardly abandoned its ways. when we get done of reporting from the don boss, art sci fi, before we wrap up this ours program here on our tea, a detachment of the russian naval fleet has set sale to participate with a chinese count the parts in joint drills dubbed marine interaction 2022, the exercises will take place in the east china see from december 21st and a schedule to include rock. hayden, artillery target, practice, the columns, coordination, and the honing of anti submarine methods as well. and large array of various naval weapons will to be deployed in the live fire drills. officials say the goal is to strengthen.
