it any kind of pretty legal poa, a big for case of ah, the headlines of is our, the us treasury secretary uses a lengthy apple then good to push quite a rough and trial rising. influence on the continent. display terms. it officially being all about, but i think will ration crazy with russian again along the river. here. ariel jones have become a major component of the fight. been done by a modern warfare of course, to pull that report from the front line. and related to fire

a now whoops, and involves tanks with germany. and while perusing. go in there, the protest, the you have a agent, meet with senior officials in with good morning and welcome to nice little question. live or from us is just off the hour as always it's good to have you. i'm right mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. the us treasury secretary is on a lengthy tour of africa. washington seeks to strengthen its tires with the continent. her agenda, so far as a paid, focused on writing, russia and china,

blaming them for troubles in the region. which is war and weapon ization of food is exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man present in poon, is creating an unnecessary drag on african economy. we believe that the international community, including china, needs to provide meaningful debt relief to help countries regain their funding. de la dylan did not. mens her words as she is trying to portray a counterweight to the influence that the americans the see as the chinese having on the continent as well as the russians. she said that she blames russia and therefore trained to solicit the same kind of a motive. emotions from her captive audience that she blame for i shall fall

africa's exacerbated food shortage problem. she also says that the continent must be weary about unfettered chinese loans, which she says are highly collateralized and can present a dead trip for their said countries. and she has presented the case of zambia as a, as a cautionary tale if you will. 2 other african states that, that the chinese are dragging their feed when it comes to talking about that reform in that country. but china only holds a 3rd of zombie as that. the real question is, who called the 2 thirds. and that is western multi lateral institutions that have continuously not led the way either because they haven't been a reason why they can't push through on this agenda. jenna dylan says that america is here and it's back and is going to impress upon africans as the pardon of trace

. she says that they will be making investment into the continent, but they will also be demanding transparency from the said government and accountability. and she says that her government and the g 7 as a whole will try and impress upon multi lateral banks to look more failing to was developing countries specifically in africa and to have and developing agenda in mind. now, a couple of things that come to mind as an observer of such movements and such a rhetoric from the americans. is that, why is it only happening now that the multi lateral bangs should focus on one, the development agenda of africa when it could have clearly happened such a long time ago? there was nothing stopping it for shore. and another thing is that the americans are really worried about the influence of china and russia on the continent. and

you can really see that they're trying very hard to impress upon these economies that the petro dollar should survive because they fear that a, in this multi polarity world, that africa might not necessarily side with them. another part of this re, of this visit, of course, is to impress upon the states than wouldn't be hosting a american top senior officials coming into the continent that they take it seriously. i also understand that among some of the visits that we should be expecting this year, if that of american president, mr. joe biden, of course this visit by jenny delane bills upon a visit that we had last year in august by the u. s. secretary of state, mr. anthony blinking, who also try to present america as a, as a country that is very much interested in africa and no one, none of these top officials from the united states have ever dared to mention the

fact that they have been absent for 56 years. the fact that there hasn't been any meaningful american investment on the continent, and that african countries would not be where they are without the support, without the trade, without the investments that they received from china, as well as russia. this visit by general dell and thought of the synagogue and were also tied down in zambia as well as here in south africa. so there is still more to the story and more to come. germany has been defiant against us. pressure has to meet no decision about sidney and farms limpid to bottle tanks to grain. even the key has been asking for them for a long time. but as a name to me, she was held at the ramstein military base in germany. many of us thought that today's we would have a breakthrough in the discussion about heavy metal pence. you didn't mentioned that

at all. i don't have any announcements to make on your watch. and you heard the, the german minister of the french say that, but not made a decision on leprosy. so no shiny new toys, just a lot of the hand me downs that had already previously been announced. now all eyes were also on nato defense ministers as they met at this ramstein airbase, near frankfort tom on friday. secretary lloyd austin, basically just use the opportunity to ask america's allies to toss more cash into the pot for the u. s. military industrial complex. oh, i mean ukraine military support spoken like a true board member temporarily refused for 4 years by the way. and stockholder that he is now canada actually did that by the way, canada bought a u. s. made miss how the bed system as a gift to ukraine. so they're basically throwing money at the u. s. military

industrial complex for ukraine. and now austin announced all the western allies that are also donating their old us patriot missile systems to ukraine gas. that means that the u. s. needs to make more to replace them for their allies. how about that? i had of this meeting there. is there been a lot of pressure on berlin, notably from ukraine and from some of its european allies to cough up leopard 2 tanks, which no country can re export under german law without berlin's permission and berlin's position has been that it won't budge on the issue unless washington sends it abrams tanks 1st. so germany is basically been telling the u. s. i won't jump unless you do and the u. s. is looking at germany and saying no, you go 1st so they're both just kind of staying there at the edge of this cliff with no one willing to take the leap on this tank issue. now as recently as is week, never report citing senior pentagon officials, including under secretary for defense policy calling call,

who said that washington simply wasn't ready to take that leave of sending tanks abram tanks to keep citing maintenance and training issues. now, even nato supreme allied commander, europe, or us, general christopher can volley said this week of western tanks, quote, there is not a particular weapon system that is a silver bullet. a balance of all systems is needed. so these statements by actual u. s. military experts clearly diverge from the ideologically driven take of politicians who keep framing western tanks as some kind of magic solution for military victory for ukraine over russian forces. on friday, zalinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministers meeting in germany . pollings prime minister mateus mar wiki even said that either warsaw gets berlin's permission to send its leopard tanks to ukraine. or they'll just go ahead

and do it calling consent, a quote to secondary importance. nice example of european unity there when it comes to being careful about potential escalation. apparently it's oh cater runaround off leash as long as their hearts in the right place. it's like the drivers slams on the brakes. trying to play hero to a pedestrian waned across the street, not realizing that he's going to get a whole lot of people run over and kill that this chivalry act. by the way, what exactly is this all this talk of tanks, world war one. if only describe could see fit to put as much time and effort into resolving the conflict peacefully as they are in serving up word salad and paying lip service in response to whatever demands key of tosses of them. ariel does have become major means of wall san, a fight for don boss, the aquifer used to conduct seen recognizance of writers as was destroying enemy positions. ortiz assuming a correspondent, mon garcia, report from the ground these close to the front lines. roads are immortal.

hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover, even that scant. ah valesh the closest they are is 700 meters away at 3 o'clock through in a total of 3 directions. also a 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock. our boys are there to their rotating today. they're doing well. this area was recently seized from ukrainian forces. they know every path, every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions. must be extra careful. drones guide them along. ah, we're scouting ahead to make sure that the way is clear and then our boys will get

there safely. these soldiers are all volunteers of the act, my battalion answering to the church and president rams, and could thereof, to ensure everything went smoothly. a flash support team, armed with an automatic grenade launcher, was ordered to dissuade the enemy from trying anything. some of the most intense fighting he's underway, ukrainian units are desperate to reverse russian gains along the river here. thank the rotation was the success. but as the drone flew back, it noticed something unusual. fresh fortifications and enemy troops concealed under the tree cover or espana we've discovered enemy positions at a distance of 450 to 750 meters away from us. their group targets enemy

fortifications, armor and vehicles. within minutes coordinates were reported to h q and the orders went out to nearby artillery m i l. blue bay. the mission had changed. they were now to keep it a distance and correct artillery fire. corrections were relayed. the next barrage struck home. i'll fight this is biker, right on the target and repeat. this is modern warfare. this is the dominant form of combat across the front lines, artillery and drones, in a seamless lethal link on the front lines, soldiers have learned to fear drones. they always watch and listen for the

characteristic buzz that harolds a barrage of iron, fire, and shrapnel, or ad gazda of r t. from the guns i thought i allowed to south america, at least one person was reportedly killed and more than a dozen wounded in a violent stand off between processes and police and peru this week. ah, though say, has made up mainly of indigenous people try to solve an airport in the nation's 2nd biggest city, but was so why police classes have been sleeping who room for more than a month. now the protest is demanding the resignation of president dean. but blue art, who took off his last month, also being offered her, her route to settle was ousted. the head of state says the situation is under

control, claiming the unrest is being fueled from abroad. meanwhile, peruse future as that of its natural resources. have been up for discussion, the u. s. ambassador, the south american country, a former c i. a agent has met with who's imaging, mr. to thought business, the miss the nater really released the statements 1st and gratitude to the us for it. support of the sensor minister vera thanked the u. s. government for its support on mining and energy issues and reiterated the will of the national government, whose priority is the massive vacation of natural gas, energy security and petrochemical development in the south of the country. peru is a key glow producer of copper silver, and a zinc who is the clear major of the countries ex will at about 58 percent coming

from the mining and extraction sector. the rest of the con, his expos amount to just over 40 percent. the ousted president, pedro casias says the u. s. is long trying to have control over bruce, lucrative mineral resources. the visit of the us ambassador to the government palace was neither unreasonable nor in favor of the country. it was to give the order to take the troops out to the streets and massacre my defenceless people. and incidentally, to leave the way clear for mining exploitation. now, sense of interesting coincidence in this story, the us, i'm bus this a peru nice. i cannot who previously worked for the cia full who met with the south american countries, defensiveness and the day before them president wilson pose. last month we heard from latin american dia, who daniel shaw says washington hand in the open row or the peruvian leader. lisa ken is

a long time employee of the ca and now is the us ambassador to do. it's certainly curious timing to see her meeting, not just with the minister of energy and natural resources in the do a meeting with former generals who are now ministers in the. ready elected government of being about why the but it's amazing how quick lisa kenna and the rest of the state department officials and the biden administration were to rubber stamp is to and get behind it because it means the, the nationalization of peruvian resources room. one of the biggest export is the gas now because the european union in the u. s. cannot rely on russia for their gas because it, the sanctions. this is the same playbook that we saw and some of the neighbors. this is what happened for new going in part of why is what happens is a lie. doris,

in with any type of bi nationalists in time period is true. patriot. left leaning, president comes into power. the us immediately sees them as the threat is to quote you on must be very proud the posted on twitter. they're willing to qu anybody anytime, whenever they please. so yes, this is the thing, there's not enough of a u. s. presence in latin america, the top american general has worn washington's leads that the u. s. needed to step on this game to compete with the growth influence of russia and china in the region . this is very concerning to me, to see the tentacles of the people's republic of china in the countries of the western hemisphere. we are very much in a strategic competition in the western hemisphere. a total of 9 countries have ration equipment in them and we are working to replace that rash and equipment with

united states equipment. we have a lot at stake. this region matters. it has a lot to do with national security. we need to step up our game journal laura child soon, a heads, richardson choice, a sorry heads, the u. s. southern calon, responsible for security corporation in central and south america. it also includes the protection of washington, moved the assets there. this is not the 1st time. richardson has emphasized the strategic importance of the region from the u. s. especially is rich resources. 3 genesis, so rich and resources. it's off the charts, rich. 60 percent of the world's lithium is in the region. you have heavy crude, you have light, sweet crude. you have rare earth elements. there are adversaries, there are taking advantage of this region every single day, right in our neighborhood. and i just look at what happens in this region and terms

of security impacts our security, our national security, ah, in the home land and in the united states. well, i think the, some of the latin american neighbors have been strained since last year when they refused to invite the leaders of cuba as one of the ad in the corolla, to a summers of the americans that it was posting. meanwhile, china and russia has been increasing investment in the region, including for critical infrastructure as well as providing military equipment. we heard from a political expert who says the u. s. stops of hedge. a monic rule over the western hemisphere is no longer fits with the rise in the po, no world. well, i think that for most americans, their interests are not the same as the interest of the pentagon on the interest of wall street. so in my view, american people have and have

a great influence in latin america. it just cannot be in the, in the form of impression or in the form of a subjugation of the peoples or the plundering of their natural resources of latin america. so we should worry is gone, is was 3 because what they want is to maintain that relationship dependence remain america towards the us, the all on ro doctrine to call that in america. it's back yard or as president biden said, it's front yard. ultimately, latin america should be free and indeed is becoming more. busy and more free being able to pick its partners, its allies, its relations throughout the world. and russia and china are 2 great powers that one cannot help. but to have some relation, when there is no country that due to ideological preferences can afford to ignore russia or china. and the american tech firm says

washington has also to bypass into censorship in iran office is not a group of is government restricted access. i made protests the company, a ceo made those comments on the world ego forum in dallas. and i got a call from a senior official in the white house, who said, can you do in iran, what you're doing in russia? and i said, no. i said, why not? and i said, because sanctions prevented us from ever putting our equipment in iran. and so the same way that we can help the russian people bypass center step. we're unable to do that in iran. and he said, what if we give you a license? i says to late made a lot of the us as opposed to the requests says that the company space ex, provide satellite internet services in iran, particularly with a view of assisting antique government activists in the country for just interrupted in iran last year following the death of a woman who was taken into police custody for allegedly not complying with dress

code regulations wearing a headscarf joe biden and other western meters have expressed support for the anti government protest in or on the u. s. on it for middle east. a israel have reportedly been discussing joint efforts, encourage more of those demonstrations and ultimately undermine the iranian leadership. i'll see is maria from russia. has the story. prime minister netanyahu an u. s. national security advisor sullivan discuss further joined steps to deter iran . premier stay expressed his gratitude for us present biden's commitment that iran will not obtain nuclear weapons. that's been declared openly what is rather quando stein, israel and the west have long joined efforts in a well coordinated information war against iran. the most recent and a remarkable example last falls and to government protests in iran. after the

suspicious death of a 22 year old female demonstrator in police custody. iran was boiling on the streets and on social media, but that is the number of pro demonstrator is an anti government hashtags used from outside iran that blows one's mind. take a 0 for example. according to tweet a trend, an archive on just one day 22nd of september. they were 9000000 tweets with the woman's last name, written in farsi from israeli user is well, quite a lot for a country. was just a bit more than half a 1000000 twitter users in just 4 days between september 21st and september 24th accounts based in israel, sent over 43000000 tweets about the protests, white and achievement. given that only around $634000.00 is where you have a twitter account, an average of $68.00 tweets per account. the next day, the oh no tweets are ellen mosque confirmed on twitter, his commitment to help america change information landscape in iran by smuggling in

special devices that allowed government restrictions to be bypassed. we took action today to advance internet freedom and the free flow of information for the uranium people issuing a general license to provide them access to digital communications to counter the iranian government's censorship, activate and star link. an example of the 3 flow of information followed from an almost 100 year old to american magazine and use week story full will say, saying that the iranian parliament voted in favor of death penalty for protest. her immediately went viral. even the canadian prime minister vowed to stay united against a ron's heinous regime. 15000 protests his sentence to death. true to hollywood salads, denounce iran on the basis of the phone. a story. kennedy denounces the rent in regimes barbaric decision to impose the death penalty on nearly $15000.00 protesters. the claim angered even official fact checker is normally critical to

ron's government. following their disapproval, many rushed to delete their posts, claiming they were misled. but some say they were rather deliberately misleading. it's very obvious for me as someone who lives in iran and has been observing the manipulation campaign and how the twitter has played a very significant role into this many foolish and campaign. you see a very hyperbolic, exaggerated coverage of iran, a and i saying disses because i'm like always because the u. s. one stu, n d, human eyes to population side, iran and other western magazine with a century long history that describes itself as a leading foreign for serious discussions of american foreign policy, openly calls for regime change in iran, with america's help. and finally, the matter oversight board, earlier these january refused to remove facebook post,

say das to the ready leader at a matter should do more to respect freedom of expression in iran. keep this manipulation campaign. it has slowed down a lot because a lot of saw the misinformation and nutrition campaign has already been exposed by a lot of people and they were, they were promising the world's dives. the iranian government is going to collapse any time. but this does not happen. so they had to back off a little bit and so i'm sure they're going to come up with some other plan in the future. and this to me, looks like in line with a bigger agenda, with shoes to push for more pressure on the wrong. so the question arises when israel and it's trusted partner america, talk about the need to stop iran. do they mean it's nuclear program? it's cracked out on the protests, or is, or do they mean to stop iran being iran reef?

an ocean i r t from jerusalem. while that wraps up this new, the whistle blows up next on the wound, but we'll talk with l. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. the point obviously, is to place trust rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with

a robot must protect its own existence with with no. do you have to be on with us? you know, we do mom of with order with the flash from. yeah, cuz i thought that was good enough. i just wondered,

was if we needed a record, what would you look for that? you will do it all good with the law. all you simply want to compute s rule, would you do by oh, well, never be a victory for russia. we solution with my truly not done, but you look at a meal crane war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. naz on, on, made it comes to not should get done in carbon dioxide. america forces are and you're not in your gauging conflict of russian forces. the american forces are here and defend nato allies. what happens that nato escalates even more than the.
