can communicate as clearly it's position through its official dignitaries. sometimes of course that personal characteristics come into play. sometimes our african partner stuff is african county personal ass category and what they say. but i'm confident that the back of their mind, even those who do not comment, similar american publications who still deeply convinced that this bill is deleterious 1st and foremost to africans because they're not perceived as equal partners. this is colonial. a paradigm over in tar excellence just goes to concert, work on fuel 2nd, you probably remember mike, compare for my secretary of state legal s. u, turin, africa, and during calmly advancing good in meetings and press conferences, he would've earned every want to stop trade in the russia,

in china. because russia and china, good, we're doing in these critical to serve their own interests on fuel damage in african interests. and america, we compare sad trades with their african, exclusively, to help africans. you wouldn't be wealthy people these tre curry, some of those you can only be see, best such anywhere in the world, including in african. you probably know that these here we are going to older, and now they're russia, africa summit. in late july in st. petersburg for that summit, whereas repairing a number of events, including a business for him, with the premium, which is we are preparing documents on a fine tuning our interaction. machinations good luck to you. the new conditions that involve sanctions and various other affairs that you have mentioned you

investment and trade corporation tools, logistic chains, payments. because if you could listen them where shifting to you settlements and national currencies, it is not at quick process, but it isn't going to our colleagues. i regret that i have not been able to answer all of your questions. it's been 3 hours. i was 18 questions have been answered while we are not breaking a record. thank you. the o . appreciate you. joining us here in arthur international you are watching our rushes. foreign ministers ok love her off and its annual live address essentially to holding his annual press conference. that's something up the top foreign policy achievements over the last year. let's just run down very briefly. a few of them here for you. when are you to national was we come to your life in the heart of the russian capital laughed off. we're saying that essentially last year brought geo political tendencies and tensions to the forefront. he said this even be confirmed

by a us academic study that nato is fighting russia through ukraine. a he said that you do, you ukraine situation is the result of years of us preparation and the use of it satellites for a full. so saying that washington is eager to pursue illegitimate means to establish a global influence. he also mentioned that the e. u is committed to u. s. dick tater ship. that's all sort of a laughter of phrase that just a short time ago here. he also said that ukraine is not a sovereign or an independent country, it's owned and operated by its western handlers, western handlers love, rob says, mind you, that are not interested in peace. love. ralph said back in march of last year, a team from kiev and moscow were prepared to get together to bring peace talks to the table and bring the conflict in ukraine to an end. law roof says those piece talks was covered by western handlers. again, who we said not interested in peace, love talked about that of the multi polar world. he said essentially,

we are witnessing the end of the western hedge among, but the western empire is now essentially in its death throes. but how can love ralph, go on with comments like that? what i can tell you, because he talks about this multi polar world, for example, the bricks, families, the by, by of the petro dollar and the hello of the petrow. you one, it talks about these massive changes happening now in this multi polar world. and he said that those handlers who russia is now fighting in ukraine, they are, and on global domination and russia, as far as the lateral is concerned, russia is on the right side of history. so you, you are watching of the annual press conference with russia foreign minister there just on, on this day here at auto international its just after 2 pm. now, 5 past 2, the laptop was going for a good couple of hours. more details on what he had to say on a website t dot com. now for the meantime, shifting gears straight to ukraine now were 18 people,

including the countries in cherry administer. and his 1st deputy, they've all been killed in a helicopter crash in a suburb of kias. now the aircraft struck a kindergarten, causing a massive fire. or the incident occurred about 25 kilometers northeast of the capitol. authorities say an equipment malfunction, violation of safety procedures or sabotage could have been the cause in here. what are you into national with fielding, all the details, and by the hour we'll get them to you as soon as we have them. for now, on the program, the head of rushers, foreign intelligence service has accused western powers of deliberately stalling piece talks on the ukraine conflict. he said ukraine and russia were very close to resolving the dispute back in march. but western powers didn't allow that to happen . as they were already heavily invested in ukraine, no, no peace talks, no peace. we have already paid you several tens of billions. we have invested in

you and we will continue to invest money in weapons. your task is simple. go fight . meanwhile, the wikileaks, as publish scores of new diplomatic cables reporting to show western politicians knew exactly what could happen if they continue to push the nato enlargement to ukraine. and many of them saw it as a red line in relations with russia, and even predicted that of a what that of a military conflict ortiz, steve sweeney picked up the story. we are not a threat to roches security. many western politicians have repeatedly said some even believe it, i guess, but not moscow. perhaps because it has flashbacks from 30 years ago when it received an ironclad assurance from the u. s. that night to would not expand eastwood not wanting to take said, but look at a map. since a promise was made, 14 new countries have joined the military alliance. will countries on the waiting

list closer and closer to russia's borders. and thanks to the wiki leagues cables, we now know that as far back as 2005, they knew the ukraine's membership was a red line for russia. and it could even trigger a wall. gordon, montana warned that the question of ukrainian accession to nato remained extremely sensitive from moscow and concluded that if there remained one potential cause for war in europe, it was ukraine in 2008, then u. s embassy to, to russia on currency. i, director william burns, had this to say ukraine, and george is nato aspirations. not only touch iran nerve in russia, they engender serious concerns about the consequences for stability in the region. not only does russia perceive encirclement, but it also fears, unpredictable and uncontrolled consequences, which would seriously affect russian security interests. experts tell us that russia is particularly worried that the strong divisions in ukraine over nato membership could lead to a major split involving violence,

or at worst civil war. in that eventuality, russia would have to decide whether to intervene a decision. russia does not want to have to face while germany's deputy national security advisor rove mc l said that ukraine's membership of nato had the potential to break up the country. nickel raised 3 specific concerns about ukraine that he felt made it risky at this stage to offer it the membership action plan, including a deep divide between the eastern and western parts of the country. on this question, chancellor, director for east european and central asian affairs, walter agreed and thought that membership action plan in the issue of nato membership could break up the country if pushed forward too quickly. in other words, it was widely known that the threat posed was so serious that russia would potentially take action to prevent it from happening. the west has turned a blind eye to more than 8 years of shelling of the people of don bass. buried his head in the sand of the burning to death of more than 100 people in the trade union

building in odessa. ignore the one of the people as expressed in recent referendums . but all the while they knew that the majority of people in easton ukraine felt tied to russia. not just that again. thanks to wiki, biggs, we know that they recognize that russia has to be brought in to any conversation. on the potentially involvement of nato, norway's foreign minister store states that russia should not have a veto over nato's decisions and rejects attempts by any country to impose an exclusive right to influence any other country by right of geographic position or political or military power. at the same time, she says that he understands russia's objections to nato enlargement, and that the alliance needs to work to normalize the relationship with russia. to make matters worse, story was the foreign minister in ian stoba mugs, government making the night her chief claims that the ukraine conflict was unprovoked. sound even more deceitful. adding into that makes the recent admissions by ukrainian and european leaders that the minsk agreements were not ready about

peace. it's clear that the conflicts in ukraine is very different from the black and white narrative, portrayed by western leaders and a complying media. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time. he cried. yes, this time to become strong. as you can see today, the ukraine of 20142015 is not the ukraine of today. since 2014, ukraine has strengthened its military posture. it is the merit of the minsk agreements to have given the ukrainian army this opportunity. i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe, according to nato standards it oh, give the impression that pace was never ready on the west, so gender a so something detailed in a 2019 ran report, which is what we are saying play out from. so our eyes all me crying. trade and

financial sanctions. and the expansion of the u. s. energy market. so the myth of the unprovoked war waged by russia doesn't stand up to scrutiny nice on you. exactly the risks of offering zalinski the chance to join the 30 member states alliance. because they discussed it time and time again over the years. the elite of the world, the top one percent, all mingling in switzerland. yep. it stay 3 of the davos world economic forum. and a highlight of the event has actually been a speech by the chinese vice premier who insisted that to promote that of economic development. global powers have to let go of the cold war mindset dina, we need to uphold the right principles and maintain the effect of international economic order under the new circumstances. the traditional way of thinking cannot provide the solution. that is why we have to abandon the cold war mentality. try to

understand the nature of things from the perspective of material duality, endeavor to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and join hands to respond to global challenges. but attendance at this one permanent event, certainly on the slide, south africa as president, he scrapped his plan to visit and there are basically no russian business leaders there. even a long time davos participant him businessman george soros. yup. he's m i a and the german chancellor olla sholtes. he's expected to be the only g 7 member at the entire conference. other world leaders that doesn't start to be tackling quote, more pressing issues at home. however, that was a you leaders who did manage to come a certainly sending some mixed signals that includes for example, that you, you commission president ursula van de leon who's been in africa to go green with some help from western countries. are friends, for example, on the african continent, have resources for renewable energy in abundance. what is missing

is the infrastructure. and therefore there we have a common interest so that this infrastructure is being built up, while the statement by the e. u is really misleading one. many from the 1st of all is play lose with the truth referring to african countries as friends following rather, sketchy paused, but 2nd of all, it is also true that the european union has really blocked africa from developing some of his fossil fuel. fines on the continent and the for the system that we must punish through and follow through with regards to only looking at green energy investments. and therefore that's why you find africa, phil suffering from this energy poverty. you talk about green energy. well, green energy in africa is not as paramount as energy itself over 600000000 people

in sub saharan africa continue to live without electricity. and there is pivotal to africa development. and if industrialization we can get one without the other. and therefore, any is of paramount importance on the continent alone. but more and more, we, finding african countries compromising their own energy use in order to be able to get some of the much needed foreign exchange reserves. but this is all part of a great story about how the european union and america have consistently blocked the development of african countries. particularly putting sanctions over them that some called an instrument of wall. i mean, you look at the sanctions that have been levied against the country, like as in boy, even as the country gets to the bring greeley of these sanctions have not pay that

they have not moved and many as saying that they just the way for the americans and europeans to force ordinary involve wins to vote against their own government. the number of african presidents who called for these illegal unit lateral sanctions to be lifted at last the united nations general assembly was of only and this by the call growing into a chorus. the europeans and the americans continue to be tone deaf to the calls of not only zimbabwe, but the region and a continent. we want to urge the president of the republic of zambia and his friends, the europeans, and the americans to talk on behalf of the people and baba, the issue at hand is very serious. we want the sanction stability at ubs and bob. we are not happy watching what has been going on and above. now there was only but one thing then. zimbabwe has been innovative introducing a gold coin law in order to generate some of its own revenue.

despite of the things that have been placed on them, by the way, it introduced it in july last year. this coin yesterday, the touching you hi. going as much as $2002.00 on the market, beating the price of gold at some point in the london stock exchange. and this by all of the international monetary fund, continues to call on them. bob, when local authorities to reduce the use of the gold coin, saying that they mean to use more traditional means of interest bearing instruments . in order to said, monetary policy, an extremist group linked to al qaeda, attacked a military based on the east african nation of somalia. officials say at least 7 soldiers were killed, including the facilities commander. now the base is about 60, but it's north of a capital market issue. national forces had lost control of it and managed to

retake it just a few months ago. the lead is attacked by the sha bob group appeared to be an effort to seize at once again. an official said, the insurgents bombed the entrance and then opened fire. now also, bob has written to power over the past decade of a half poverty. food insecurity and decades of violent unrest of basically enabled the group to fill its ranks, especially in the hardest hit areas. a smiley as president is even our civilians for helping routing out the extremists, montana. i'm calling to you the people of market issue, the rainy, gay time wants to you, they are and you houses your neighbors. so flush them out. you as president drove by and last year, signed in order to deploy hundreds of american soldiers to somalia to combat in social groups. it did that through a bush era, $911.00 legislative act without the approval of congress. and the intervention was a warmly met by somebody as leader who was previously voted out of power on

corruption claims, but managed to return to office last may well, we had mike kenyon security expert. and for my special forces officer who served in somalia, he says hardship in the country has given way to the rise of extremists. but if you look at produce a malia, we've been level low, been the ability to somalia governmental this monday. so monday it's monday, it's up to go through for the longest, you'd expect some quiet, celtic management phase of the people and government to government government that i had to really enjoy. so really points on monday have a lot of challenges. i mean, if you look at the whole day now, it seems that of course we've been governed, it will spaces that are allowable, but like 4 different functions to come up on them as a militia kind of space. and when you ruffling with that kind of

chaotic situation, then you do because he doesn't even governance. so that's one of those factors that kills range. then you know, you don't sample anything. so you exposed to everything and those provide very good breeding grounds. 20 pos here at moscow. great to have your company today. so to iraq now where the prime minister has upheld the continued presence of foreign troops in his country, particularly from america, it is white concerns among civilians. in an interview published on sunday mohammed out to dine, he said there are no plans to resume foreign combat operations in iraq. but he noted that external support is crucial for the freezing extremist groups. statements contradicted the sentiments of ordinary iraqis. so we heard from back that locals who were adamantly against the continued military presence of foreign powers in that country. a lot of woodmen, although we oppose the military presence of any country,

particularly neighboring countries, which has had a negative effect on us, especially after 2003 as we've been attacked by foreign countries, such as iran and the united states of america, which affected iraq negatively rather than positively. meanwhile, the iraqi government support really should act when, however, these countries and the external interference have hampered its capability to address the issue which i have to do, the international coalition has been useless. on the contrary, bomb, the rocky popular my bill is ation and the security forces. it is completely unnecessary. there is no need for their presence and we has iraqis do not support this matter. beckett, currently, in my opinion, the neighboring countries have been involved in the continuation of ices because the neighboring countries seek to keep iraq vulnerable. moreover, it is in their interest for iraq to remain weak, so they help ices even if they disagree with it ideologically. these countries have no interest to keep a rock strong over us, invaded iraq in 2003, to destroy

a weapons of mass destruction. that of course, whenever beth, the biden administration concluded the official combat mission in 2021, but left 2000 troops in the country to serve as military advises. america initially withdrew his troops in 2010 and redeployed them back in 2014. now the iraqi prime minister has said that routing out the unsocial group of dash, would require more time and more foreign military aid. rec, in 2020 the u. s. president. at the time, donald trump proudly announce at dias was completely defeated under his leadership . we're getting where we defeated, what was 100 percent where i was in when i came in it was a mess. it was all they have it in a certain color was a year later i said, where is it's all gone?

because he was all while the journalist, a modern j, he told us that the american presence in iraq is not always a security assurance as washington. it's and it's few allies in baghdad do, can tenure to claim i think they're already high tension, you know, and it's, it's very difficult to, to look at one reaction or the other. what's very, very important, i think, is not to repeat the history of 2011, quickly making arrest issues and to pull the american troops out. and then create a vacuum which is unfilled by isis, or whatever you want to call sunni, western western iraqi terrorist cells, which became isis and i sell eventually. and the last thing that the prime minister will want to do is to be the one who's responsible for that. but he's playing a balancing act, you know, on the other side of the coin, he's got a sheer groups in the parliament who want very much him to push the

americans out. so they can take more control, they believe. but it's also a double game for them because you know what's not reported. i think it's quite important. notice is that often cheerful. 2 analysts often see american troops in iraq sitting ducks that's quite very vulnerable to attacks from insurgent groups supported by around inside iraq or even those outside. so it's not a very clear cut argument, whether it's a safe bet the american stay in iraq, or if they leave, then they create further chaos in the region. i think there are, there are scenarios both ways on that. we're not as easy as it looks like before we wrap up this our program more than 90 countries within the un of urged israel to lift sanctions from the palestinian people. it was called the international court

of justice to investigate israel's occupation of palestinian territories. we reject unit measures in response to request for an advisory opinion by the international court of justice and more broadly in response to general assembly resolution and coal for their immediate reversal. well, the chain of events started last month when the un general assembly adopted their resolution prompted by the palestinians that coals, honda, international court of justice to give at legal opinion on israel's annexation hand to legal status of his occupation of the palestinian territories, official, jerusalem condemned them and called it auntie's railey initiative at the un, and as a response, decided to seize a round, full to $1000000.00 of the palestinian authorities funds and diverted to these rally tara victims plus cancel the p. a for ministers, special travel permit and to deny several benefits to particular palestinian

politicians. and now 90 countries, including france, germany, denmark, japan, including actually those who abstain from voting on the resolution, signed the letter, expressing their concerns over what they called these rally punitive measures urgent ease row to leave the sanctions and a pause from signing the letter. several countries actually made separate statements using very strong words. sick and an advisory opinion of the international court of justice cannot and should not be a cause of unity measures. for anybody, any time germany has joined a large group of young men, the states who have signed off on this statement, this group agrees, and the rejection of punitive measures and response to the resolution. all that i have to say adds 2 really 10 for violence situation here on the ground with a really new government. choosing

a really hard line regarding policy affairs with radical statements and sometimes even open calls for violence and confrontation from different israeli politicians. and officials become an everyday reality here where they rarely arm and tend to find their military rate all through all, do i complied west bank as a college counter terrorist activity, which civilians die from both sides? according to the probably seen in health ministry in 2022, these rarely forces killed at least 170 pal is 10 years old from the west bank and the occupied east jerusalem. including more than 30 children and we are now in the tenure in since the beginning of this year. more than 10 other palestinians were already killed. well, the latest victim killed during an israeli army raid in the west bank was only 14. he was hit by a bullet in the head of my classes near a refugee camp. is there any forces said that they open fire off the protesters

through rocks, molotov, cocktails and explosives at them. that we did take a moment to hear from the boys. bereaved family members. in some other more, the occupation army entered the camp at 5 in the morning. my little brother was awoken by the noise and went out to see what was happening in the alley. there were clashes between the army and the youth stones were being thrown. this happens a lot at the refugee camp. the occupation army open fire, the youngsters and my little brother was shot in the head. he was taken to hospital, but he had a serious wound. the blood filled his brain, he was almost dead and they hooked him up to the medical devices for about 8 hours and tried to revive him. unfortunately, he was margery. well, not exactly. unfortunately, we're very proud that he was martyred philosophical computer own law about thought that he was 14 years old. okay, to sonia, who shot him, did this deliberately. there is no justification for shooting a child. there is no justification in the world for hurting one. he was just

a little boy less. i mean, why did they do this to him? what did he do for them to do this? to him? he did nothing. isn't good for begging what they do to young children, to youth and to the world. why don't live our lives check other people? why don't young people live with me? isn't this for bedding lamp? you have the right the target young children. so they do not pose a threat to them when they grow up. but our children are not afraid. the israel's are the ones who fear us. no the other way around. this is an occupation to targets young and old mothers and daughters without mercy. come, i am a thought. does continue online right now? just a few clicks away at r t dot com. michelle to week if on the latest updates on over storage as well, don't forget their wattsey dot com. we're also on gab odyssey and a number of 70 telegram channels. we're back soon. if you can join us from the top of yeah, ah

ah ah ah, well with

a v i a way and when i, when i can a job with the number in from the v. a victim on the dollar community may ask you, visit, vary by zip, will get, get more ample, wholesale to join were conducing at the main dinner, or is it possible you'd prefer best with bacon? and we'll just cuz the big glass. so she was with brenda, with .
