i was just soon as i was like when you thought that i was gonna go on the billing system a what i see, denise, do you need both? who's the room? you motivation says do you do? don't bob? ah, miss alice help headlines right now. here. one or 2 international is the us treasury secretary is touring africa, but it is widely seen as an effort to upstage russia and china is growing. influence on india's tax minister accuses us pharmaceutical giant. and pfizer having attempted to quote fully his government to providing legal protection for the company in a case of any dangerous side effects from the coach with russian games along the river. ariel drones had

become a major component of the fighting for don patton. what's become an essential means of modern warfare? correspondent continues reporting from the front line. and the prime minister of the central african republic speaks about the importance of russia's ties with the country in an exclusive interview with you talking about wagner and we talking about the fact that the president met with the president booted to agree to come to the rescue to protect democracy in the ceo with that i often in here at moscow and so good to have your company for this. i was program one out what is a strange to see her face doing this? so the us treasury secretary is on a lengthy tour of africa as washington seeks to strengthen its ties on the continent. though her agenda so far is focused on deriving russia and china. and ultimately, at the end of the day, a blaming them for troubles in the region,

which is war in weapon ization of food, his exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man present in put is creating an unnecessary drag on africa 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 see as the chinese having on the continent as well as the russians. she said that she blames russia and therefore trying to solicit the same kind of emotive emotions from her captive

audience that she blame for i shall for africa's exist the bane tint food shortage problem. she also says that the continent must be weary about unfettered chinese loans, which she says are highly collateralized and can presented a dead trip for their said countries. and she has presented the case of zambia as a, as a cautionary tale if you will, to other african states that, that the chinese are dragging their feet 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 hold the 2 thirds? and that is western multi lateral institutions that have continuously not lead 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 fairly towards 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 when 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 that would 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 general dylan builds upon a visit that we had last year in august by the u. s. secretary of state, mister 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 being where they are without the support, without the trade, without the investments that they received from china as well as russia. this visit by janet dell and thought to the synagogue, and we're also tied down in zambia as well as here in south africa. so there is still more to this story and want to come. india's tech minister has accused the united states or the american pharmaceutical john pfizer, of having pressured the country's government to ensure legal protections for pfizer in case of deadly side effects from his covert vaccine. and allegation spoke a strong rebuttal by an indian parliament member amid claims that he had supported the western jobs over locally produced one. just to remind all

indians that pfizer tried to bully the government of india into accepting conditions of indemnity. and jerome romesha kept pushing the case of foreign vaccines during cupboard. this is total. mister minister. let not your ambition to climb the greasy pole. make you more of a liar than you are. in 2021 at pfizer was among the 1st vaccine producers to apply for an emergency use authorization in india with it withdrew the application off of the country's pharmaceutical watchdog, requested a clinical study to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the job. they did that . yeah, india said it wouldn't by the fire a job with a report saying the company's demands for legal protection were a main reason. not the world economic forum in davos this week. a fire, a ceo attempted to evade commenting about the job safety and effectiveness. you said it was a 100 percent effective, then 90 percent, then 80 percent, then 70 percent. but we now know that the vaccines do not transfer. so transmission

. why did you keep that secret for my food? i won't have a nice day until i know the answer. why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission? meanwhile, would you be surprised to learn that recent studies by european anger yos have claimed that e u covert vaccine deals, including with pfizer, prioritized, enormous financial interests over issues of public health. let's delve deeper. his aunt's isa contributor rachel marston, jerry cove, it the european union rolled out a block, y q r code system as proof of vaccination for travel leisure. and in some cases a condition of employment. even as reports started raising doubts about how reliable the shot actually was when it came to stopping infection transmission and even death. it's like there was this interest in brussels to move fast and getting shots into arms as quickly as possible. and getting this digital identity system

linked to the job status into place as an incentive for people to take the shots. now for months, skeptical members of the european parliament have been demanding to know what kind of deal the blocks leadership actually signed with the manufacturers of these injections. we're talking here about 11 contracts, 4600000000 vaccines and 71000000000 euros of public money transferred to big pharma. and so far, neither the citizens who paid for all of this nor their elected representatives have been able to get full transparency on any of those deals. here's what new research just published by french and g o, global health advocates and by the u. k based health, non profit stop aids, has to say about it. the you signed agreements cloaked in secret and resisted efforts to disclose any information. protecting commercial interest, we argue, came at the expense of transparency around pricing, delivery schedules,

those transfer clements and intellectual property commitments that could have helped increase global access to vaccines secrecy. in short hut, public health with an unaccountable driver. the public have been taken for a ride. the reports also draw attention to the lack of interest on the part of certain big pharmacy. yo's, when it comes to accountability towards their customers, their and clients who received and ultimately paid for the jobs being average european citizens to make matters worse, phases ceo al, but bowler has twice, refused to appear in front of her pin parliament's covert committee to answer questions about how the contract negotiations were carried out. an old decision for a company who claims to be very transparent. it turns out the pfizer, c e o. borla is also the same one who was exchanging private text messages with european commission present. ursula vander line the month before the pfizer contract was negotiated. now how do we know that? because vander lined, said so herself in april of 2021. and those texts have magically vanished.

and wagner line doesn't really seem to be too interested in making an effort to recover them forensically. so earlier this month, european parliamentarians on the blocks coven 19 committee, expressed their interest in having fonder line answer to their committee on these contract negotiations by peering in person. but of course, she can just decline just like world debt, which has now led the committee to request that berlin access privileges to the european parliament be revoked and access to you. politicians for corporations under lobbyists, is pretty much priceless. between january 20, 20, and september 2022 senior european commission officials and pharmaceutical lobbyists. how close to 100 meetings with 30000000 euro spent on you lobbying in a single year. that's according to the ngos reports which also touch on the lips

service that the e u paid to global unity against cove it. while at the same time gate, keeping it cove, it technologies and practicing a sort of medical apartheid by keeping the jobs out of the hands of countries that perhaps weren't in a very good position to pay big pharma as much as what europe was a back from lobbying and shady deals have made their way into the spotlight in the ear recently with the rest of officials and personnel, accused of corruption over linked to lucrative could tarry and murat in lobbying efforts. and now with this report suggesting that's just the tip of the iceberg. if the e u is serious, about transparency and lisa, serious as wagner line, says she is in the wake of her target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy e o bodies. instead of hiding from the people she's actually meant to serve

it's good to have you with us. ariel drones are become major means of warfare in the fight for don bass or the used for conducting recognizance operations as well as destroying enemy positions. is our senior correspondent but i'd, gusty of these close to the front lines. roots are a mortal hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover even that scott, ah, some of the less 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 and our boys are there to the rotating to day. they're doing well in this area, but recently ceased 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 that 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 flaw, 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 of a desperate to reverse russian gains along the river. here through 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 400 shifted to 750 meters away from us. their group targets enemy fortifications, armor and vehicles. within minutes coordinates were reported to h q and orders went out to nearby artillery. yeah, my bad bad i'll be away. the mission had changed. they were now to keep it a distance and correct artillery fire. whatever corrections were relayed the next barrage struck home on i'm on my legal, i'll fight this is biker, right on the target. 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 add gas d a r t. from le ganske. at least one person is dead and more than a dozen wounded and a violent stand off between protesters and police in per room. the the demonstrated them but mostly in business people. they try to storm and apple the nation 2nd biggest city, but was stopped by police. a classes have been sweeping for roof for more than a month now with protesters demanding the resignation of president dina watson. it

took off last month after her predecessor was ousted. bed of state says the situation is under control, claiming the raft is actually being fueled from a world. meanwhile, peruse future and its natural resources have been up for discussion. the us ambassador to the south american country, a former c i a agent as met with peruse, energy minister at all business. the ministry later released the statement expressing gratitude to america for its support of the sector minister. vera thanked the u. s. government for 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. a peru is a key global producer of copper, silver, and zinc, with a claim. majority of the countries exports about 58 percent coming from mining and

extraction, or the rest of the countries export amount of just over 40 percent. the ousted president pedro castillo, says the us has long try to have control over, peruse, lucrative, mineral resources, have a listen. the visa 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. well, there is a rather curious coincidence in the story of the us ambassador peru, lisa kennedy, who did previously worked for the c. i a report leave met with a south american countries defense minister the day before the then president was deposed. last month, we heard from a latin american job political expert daniel shore. he is a apparently quite suspicious with the overthrow of the peruvian liter. 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 nurses with the minister of energy and natural resources. and we do a meeting with former generals who are now ministers in the unelected government of being about why thing. 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 who 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 the sanction this is the same c i a playbook that we saw and some of the neighbors . this is what happened lubo. and in part of why this is what happens is a lie,

doris. and when any type of bi nationalist, anti imperial is true, patriot or left leaning, president comes into power. the u. s. immediately sees them as a threat to quote you on must be very proud the posted on twitter. they're willing to qu anybody any time whenever they please to palestinians were killed on thursday when it's ready for his rated a refugee camp in the west bank. a one, as we understand was a high school teacher father of 6. he was shot in the chest and we had the chance to speak with his grieving son. a special forces entered the camp and stayed in a building nearby here in the jenin refugee camp. there was a young man murdered near our house. he was hit by 2 bullets and started screaming for help. my father asked me to bring him into the house. my father and my sister dragged a young man about 3 meters away, and later i came to help. my father turned his back to the snipers and they shot

him, brought my father into the house, and he was bleeding in front of our family for about 5 to 7 minutes. a 2 year old child was there. there was no ambulance. military forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching the area, so we decided to take him to the hospital. is there any forces out yet? the comment on this event, the attention of sword in the west bank because the f a stepped up raid since last spring, been reported that in 2022 is ready. force has killed at least $146.00 palestinians, including $34.00 children, ultimately making the deadliest year and 18 years. but those who lived meanwhile, more than 100 un member states have signed a join statement condemning israel. punitive measures against the palestinians comes off to the palestinian government, requested the international court of justice to judge the israeli occupation. however, israel's foreign minister rejected what he called a meaningless statement saying the signatures will not stop them from protecting

best citizens. again, we hear from the son of the palestinian who was shot dead. this catalog. why did they kill my father? don't ask me that question asked them. they're the ones who know why they killed my father, a person who lived in this house. every one has the right to safely sit in their own garden next to their own home. it was his right to help a son of his town and the son of a camp who is his own flesh and blood. how was that wrong? i don't know what will happen to us without him. who was the pillar of the household? how do you shoot 15 bullets and a human being? the prime minister of the central african republic has praised russia for quote, helping protect democracy in his country. and prime minister felix moore, made those comments and an exclusive interview to archie and said that are mutually beneficial partnerships are among the highest interests for the african nation. you can take a listen to the interview right now. for the meantime, though, we will be back in. well, the top of the ah,

sir, please miss mister prime minister. thank you for agreeing to answer our question. so your visit to russia comes amid the growing fresher on moscow from the west. weren't you afraid that western rage will spread upon you? good, thank you for this opportunity and thank you. feel questions? i'll be glad to give some ounces. the c a are in my opinion, like all other african countries would not want such pressure to be exerted. oversee this war between russia and ukraine, affects the whole world. all countries and africa is no exception. but we, the c a are also do not want to get involved in this j political game. we want to develop relations based on bilateral, mutually beneficial cooperation, when each country defends its interests. when each country respects the sovereignty of the other, the c. r presidents is a man of dialogue and a man of peace and he stands for dialog, said at peace reigns again on the whole planet. and so that we deal with the development of all peoples. therefore the c i is not interested in commenting on

this geo political position. it remains open to all countries and is ready to cooperate with all countries. but on western media says that the central african republic is becoming the russian sphere of influence. so called colony, what is your take on beth law? you know, there are so many manipulations on this topic. these are opinions that do not reflect reality. i've already told you, and i emphasize again that the c i r jealously protects its sovereignty and is ready to develop and strength and cooperation with all other countries established mutually beneficial partnerships. so the ca, aunt is not into into such discussions because it's simply not interested in this. it is interested in its own development, improving the living conditions of its population. this is why the head of state often talks about it expresses his willingness to work in this direction. we do not exclude any countries, but we zealously, god, independence, danny,

the head of the russian house has been attacked in the central african republic. how's the investigation going? we expressed regret over this events. we strongly condemn this. the fact that the son of a friendly country who is working on the development of corporation between our country was subjected to a terrorist attack. we would like it to be condemned everywhere, but unfortunately, some media outlets, as you said, find ways to cheat and minimize all this. we're very sorry that this is happening with some media handled social networks. i visited this where the son of russia, with whom praise the lord, everything will be fine. all our people are praying for him. we hope that he will recover and return to his activities. you know, this terrorist attack is not the 1st such case. then we also found out about a plane that flew either part of our country's territory and drop bombs on people. this incident is also being investigated and the investigation must be brought to an end. we hope that the un will take care of these matters. who would like to see such action strongly condemned in all states, striving for peace. as i've already mentioned,

we strive to maintain good relations with old, neighboring countries, so that our borders reliably protected the russian side is concerned. there is a french trace in this case. is there any evidence for that? no, no, at the moment, as i've already said, an investigation is underway and now it is wrong to draw any hasty conclusions. the investigation is ongoing. we must wait. and as soon as they are all results, it is possible to speak out on this matter. cement many western experts believe that the central african republic is becoming a kind of a battlefield where the interests of foreign states collides. do you see any neo colonial aspirations in this? well, perhaps the fact that it is the position of the c a r is misunderstood and interpreted . this country is fragile, this country has a huge potential. this country has no, nothing but conflicts. and the president, the republic is fighting for pace the way he imagines it. it was as a poet that he extended his hand to all armed groups so that everyone could unite. after all, we have 623000 square kilometers. and if we develop them,

every one will find something for themselves hip, but there are so many manipulation. so many geopolitical interests, that some do not understand the position of the c a all. there are such people, but there are others, those who voluntarily maintain good relations and cooperate with our republic. and we don't want to waste energy discussing such position. we want to work to achieve pace, to develop cooperation with all countries without exception. although when talking about the central african republic, many people immediately think about the wagner group. what is your opinion on them? all? the c a r does not know what wagner is. i've already said that, and i will repeat again at a difficult moment in life when they see i was attacked by armed groups whose actions were aide at d, stabilizing the country. the president appealed to all friendly countries. i repeat to all friendly countries without exception, including russia and bewanda. here are those who responded and provided support to the armed forces of the ca are to reverse the situation to thwart this treacherous

plan and did our country continues as cooperation with russia in this framework of defense in order to prepay young people to more reliably protect that country, and this is thanks to their instructors in bang go by the way, thanks to this, the un security council approved a resolution the coding to which these instructors can be in bangor in the c a r. so you're talking about wagner, and we're talking about the fact that the president met with the president putin, who agreed to come to the rescue to protect democracy in the caea. so commentating and interpreting is a free choice of those media. we follow a different logic and i say again and again that it doesn't matter which country it is. we're always open to discussions, state within the state, mutually beneficial cooperation. does the wagner group really destabilized the country? so no, not a told on the country. if that were the case, the people would not have asked for their presence before coming here. i participated in a discussion and some people even said that we should invite the russians to the territory because i'm groups exaggerate,

claiming that they allegedly protect the population. rather it is they who are interfering with the population robin killing it in the interests of whom of these are groups acting. that's the question you need to ask who sponsors them. we should also talk about this. i would like the european media to comment on the situation focusing on these on group who supplies them with weapons. as i've already told you, they're better off than the armed forces of the c a r t a. for example, the very plain, the freeway for a country whose is it may be it belong to armed groups. we don't know the such. a question arises and the investigation will show. but the level of material support for these armed groups. we do not enter into such discussions, but we want that in the case of destabilization all a democratic countries could raise their voices to condemn it, to say no. i said to the people, striving for pace, you want to live together in harmony, can breathe freely and i call on old peace loving countries to do this. and then the c, i all will be able to interact and cooperate with them. ah,

ah, we all came out together. we were all supposed to go home together. it didn't happen. and it just shot after shot after shot, after shot, derek was asking, where's corey? where's course? to hear them say d, o a at the scene. so we knew he was gonna manage commodity carter and i'm currently starting the license for a gang related job ought to have been 9 years ago. my victim was dentist. she was also a student who was attending college. his name is corey pittman.
