when are you one of them 11. i think it's enough with china's before in a minute or so on. a fly nation tour of africa says no will power should not balls african countries to one side or another. as the continent needs all solid, dorothy confrontation, we support each other. you know what, why again, point in gould, we can do it again. and there's crime is loading begins the dimensions of the global south with a powerful speech about the crucial role emerging economies have in shape in the

future of the world. russian sappers are still finding mines, say here. and so this plan to right now, they're working on discovering a lows, more info, observe that the mining operation and once in baffled dom glass city of marble as explosives left behind by creating troops still poses a threat. this event in lives in the local resident handbook, you know, i still don't by fraud. his claims of not meddling in the west african nations internal affairs following the expulsion of the french ambassador. don't go, it's quite normal. that france believes that the king of france or is its property, but it's no longer light that the anti french sentiment is here. it spread in day by day. and it's a concern for france with,

ah, give i welcome to international broadcasting live from moscow, lime on me, and it's great to have you with us. let's take a look at today's top stories. china's new foreign minister has begun his term with a 5 nation tour of africa. he has insisted that no will power should force african countries to pick one side or another in regard to u. s. involvement on the continent. instead, he said, africa should be a place for promoting economic development and solidarity. not confrontation, siegel josh, would africa needs his solidarity and co operation, not confrontation, no country. no people have the right to force african countries and their people to take sides. africa should be a platform for international cooperation, not an arena for competition between major countries. natalie, africa refuses to be seen as an arena for competing influence. we're open to

cooperation and partnerships with everyone as long as their respect our principles, our priorities now interests. the partnership with her, with china is built on this principles as well as live lab. so our africa correspondent, carabiner sadler. carnival. great to see now what have been the most important aspects of the chinese foreign ministers african saw so far. well the new foreign minister, as it were, was only appointed on the 30th of december ah, is kicking off of his africa safari, if you will, in the 3 decades long context of chinese and african relations. by 1st the visiting the continent. he's on a 5 country tore, and he begins in ethiopia. that is also host to the seed of

the african union, the equivalent of the european union, if you will, for african countries. and what's interesting is that the building itself was built by chinese money as some $200000000.00 of it then was invested. but he was speaking particularly on this event on the opening of african center for disease controls, which is also chinese funded. and it's also vested in addis ababa, but what china is deliberately trying to do here is to show africa that is an important partner, not just in terms of raw material, but in terms of development. well and china is very heavily invested in terms of infrastructure here. on the continent and it remains a leading investor, mr. she will, will be using this visit, of course, to try and also out, les china's plans the, you know, medium term plans at least with regards to what, what they see as they are all in africa. but it's an opportunity as well to get to

know the other side, what african countries would be expecting off of china. and if, if you, if anything is said to go by, this is a very important relationship for china, because the mr. t jiggly, cultivating it for some 30 years. and i know that yes, specially here in south africa, they'll be celebrating some 25 years of bilateral. and later on this year, this is very important in a sense that china is, is very my chair and changed on the continent. and america has been seen as a, as a foreign power, which is trying to re assert its relationship with that with the continent following some 8 years of neglect and a very sketchy legacy in terms of development, in terms of cooperation and economic development. it remain, sir, are very much a battle ground when you look at some of the forces that i hear. i mean, you have, you have asian giants like japan also trying to foster relationship with africa. you also have the european union, which is,

which has been also trying to entrench itself, following the ukraine conflict. but especially because they've been looking for some of the resources that will keep them warm this winter. and we've been seeing not only that, but even even the likes of france trying to research and readjust this relationship following its expulsion and its loss of popularity and different localities. so africa remains very much a battle for influence if you will, but that is not how africans want to see it. africans remain open to, to have in a relationship with all powers, as long as those powers, respect, african interests and priorities. and lead kind of, let's hope that when we look forward, it's a win win situation. thanks so much for joining us here. and the suitors, you take care of yourself down there. the warmth of johannesburg. thanks again. try

the affairs experts. andrew learn says the country's approach to africa is more than than that of western powers. thomas engagement with africa. it's very different from the west and looks at the relationship in a holistic way. the emphasis always been on building infrastructure and it was capacity building for development help the these countries to develop and also course workforce. ready ties between china and africa, their so called democracy as defined by the united states is only a facade channel to excerpt, americans in france to impose the americans more go on on other countries. regardless of the m, the stages of development, the internal political situation, the geography and so on, so forth. the african countries and other developing countries. they are more in debt to western commercial lenders,

multiple times more than china. thomas become much more a price and allow, in some sort of that relief, but also taking into account all the stakeholders interest. but overall, these loans are here, as i say, towards building infrastructure within the country and connecting these countries to other neighboring countries. it would bring a lot of economic progress to them. china and africa. no. the only ones challenging the cone. well, daughter, india's prime minister moody, has emphasized that world powers must treat developing countries as equals to achieve a sustainable future. he may, he made those comments in a powerful speech to begin a summons of nations of the global south beep on a global sound. she no longer be excluded from the approved suburban

right to be that we must attempt to redesign global political and finance and governance in the last century. the support bid each other in our white against fought in ghoul. we can do it again in this sent judy to create a new wire arda bag. when shaw the bell brown abra last was live out soon. new delhi and ortiz india correspondent, london. sharla val runjun. great to see. now that was a song speech. why prime minister moody does this mark the beginning of a new direction for india's development?

it looks like, of course, and indeed, a ball full beach by rabbit scenario. the movie they're seeing that billable salt should shape the emerging world order. but where is this coming from? india is hosting a to the summit, and this was in fact in nor grew speech by prominence. and that into more the, this to the summit called the voice of bill bruce out essentially is being conducted right ahead over g 20 summit in september. and the reason why india is holding this to the summit is because go south, which is largely under developed, developing world is in fact not re presented on the global stage on the global fall food stage. and what india wants to do is from this particular to the summit it wants to collect ideas as well as views and then re present the views. lita

in the g 20 presidency that in dow hall in september where the boy does will be participating and largely eases these countries whose weiss is usually is unheard. and therefore india now wants to be the media. india, a would eventually a want to see itself as the ways of global south india cells being the developing country really. but prime minister there are in that in all grew speech or while that to the summit, clearly seeing that we are looking at a new world order now. and that the way of the global south also should be an equal part. or if in the studio session, we will say, expecting a prime minister of the issues where the president or lunk out to box the base, there will be 7 root sessions, ministry to sex sessions is well aware of where ministers was environment as well as education. and other fries would be participating. i'm all in all of all of this

will be completed. and then of course presented at the g 20 presidency lease at the set. i. thanks about for bringing us up to speed r runjun sharma. there are tears in the course when, thanks again for your time. ah, but we have some major updates from the front lines of the numbers. the head of the russian pyramid, she company wagner, has confirmed around 500 ukrainian soldiers were killed as russia gain control over the strategically important city, a solider and the dentist republic. i confirmed the cylinder has been cleared of ukrainian troops and is now under our full control. surveillance were by curated ukrainian troops refused to be taken into custody, were eliminated, or on 500 people were killed. of our group all has also been combing

through underground mine charles, previously used by cleaning troops to still weapons and munitions. taking some other enables russian forces now to advance on the near by major city of arc, the most vital transportation of that would fear recipe, paved the way to other key cities and full rush of control over the s republic. far from the front line. russian forces have been a removing land mines left behind by you. grain troops in the once embattled city of marble as those explosives still pose a threat to something in lives. ortiz a roman cooperative reports. this same metallurgy plant. santa maria, pole. golds a lead shower was fried back in spring. however, russian sappers are still finding mines, say here ads. this plans are right now. they're working on discovering those mines . people continued to lose their lives here as they were in whining,

according to they had all fall local security here at the plans. at least 3 people have been killed, 3 military personnel, while their words, in whining, at least 15 civilians were also killed by the mines here at this plant. the difficulty of this particular area is that working with metal detectors is impossible. here. since there is a lot of metal here, sappers have to rely on their own feelings. lager doesn't have snyder, although there are lots of different shells, improvised explosive devices. there are unexploded shells. there is a loss of work, but we're trying to keep people's lives safe alarms. the steel plant covers a very, very large area and russian sappers continue discovering of various things left by ukrainians on a daily basis. for example, i'd say that is covered to destroyed thanks right. now the russian sappers are trying to determine whether the ukrainians have left any traps so we can proceed further. that bureau just part of it is not all global. sherpa so checking roads,

roadside spoke explosives to tanks of the armed forces of ukraine who have phones. they're both standing under the bridge as they were hidden from intelligence alvy ation. yet another potentially lethal discovery was made by our russian sappers. he's carrying an unexploded piece of ammunition right now. if you will take it to a safe place or it will be destroyed along with all the other explosives that were found on this day. i did with hi along with the equipment. we have also discovered a lot of clothing, as we understand when the ukrainians were retreating from this territory. they were

throwing away their military clothes and they were changing into civilian at sire trying to leave the area unnoticed from here. as i understand, many of them have retreated into us or sold were they consequently surrendered to the russian forces. it will take a very long time before the entire plan say, here indeed, shaw and as of thought are completely of free of all the minds that were left by the ukrainian military people. the russians sappers who continue working here on a daily basis, risk in their lives, and a successful day for them when they discover all of the munition and destroys at this field. now these things are happening on a daily basis from one quarter of artie. maria holden,

escrow public fraud has insisted it is not meddling in the internal affairs of its full mowers african colony akita facet authors. ambassador was expelled a senior french diplomat visiting the country has emphasized the importance of maintaining a partnership despite those concerns. here's what some local residents feel about the matter law firms to something i see france feels threatened in burkina faso. that's why it's sent to minister here. i believe that relations between burkina and france are no longer in good shape. and paris is trying to catch up, but i think it's a bit too late. don't go is quite normal, that france believes that the kina faster is its property, but it's no longer like that. became faster is independent. front understand that you can lose influence over became faster. the onto the french sentiment is here. it spread in day by day. and it's a concern for france. all the french ambassador to leave the country last month i

made rising as you sentiment. the african nation experience within the past year, i'm currently one of the 3rd of the country remains outside the government control . france has a few 100 soldiers in looking to help fight against insurgents. while the french devotee, 4 minutes insist those suits would remain as long as the present is desired. the correspondent and long has come down on the credibility of that pledge. chris who loves caro polo, know that she is walking on eggs and any full bar can definitely close with doors and the pressure of the jump to of what got to go ask him to call. but come by for the look. i love. she knows that every words come, every just do might be calculated. well,

can i be watching closely the situation and most of them believe that this is to head a prior to quite the image in francophone country. it sounds like it's truly late to change the rules regarding different feeling in this book. you know what can come to tell what to do, to issue a phrase that you will keep dealing with paris while outside people are games that definitely require between the 2 countries. want to be the same, and it appears that paris has realized that and now playing the border on the grounds with a low r t. what got to go me while i am wrong, there has also been eruption of outrage against frances hundreds of demonstrators, the national capital of spoken out against a french serious publication,

but insulted their supreme leader. that mercedes isn't gathered in front of the french embassy into iran burning flags and calling for an apology. that was in reaction to the french political magazine. charlie hendo publishing a character of a wrong supreme leader. i leave the maney. frances, for him is the house for love. the concern saying the satire is protected by freedom of speech. meanwhile, from some of the processes have demanded that the french embassy be closed until paris issues and the official apology. wow, this is not the 1st time we demand that officials closed this embassy. they can return when they learn to respect iranian laws. there is no need for them to be here while they insult islam, our profit, and our leader that is not acceptable for us. we demand the authorities and this and give them an ultimatum human. the french government has insulted our leader and

religious authority through that publication. it shows that they are angry with our leader. we come here to say that we're supporting our leader. i am here because the shirley of dor magazine has insulted my country's leader now among the closure of that magazine's office by the french government. i demand an official apology by the french president on in south africa as president has said, he will use the countries chairmanship of the bricks. group of emerging economies advanced the interests of the continent. his statement came as his punches, just taken, i was to ship of the block from trauma. our continent was pillaged, ravaged and exploited by other continents. and therefore, we want to build the solidarity within bricks to advance the interests of course, initially of our own country. but also of the continent as a whole. south africa will host the annual brick summit lot later this year will
