oh, a africans need to resist. is this impulse of wanting to direct a double standard form of international contact toward out addresses relations with russia to say formative plots of course, will corporations beyond western influence. i think trying to see grain. oh, lose your international statements that centralized poland in germany in way was on given the ok on the export from each level. be great, dwayne in terms of service,

admit it used piece tools with russia supplied time for keys on the battlefield, but not to find a diplomatic solution with hello and welcome to all t international broadcasting live from much there. i'm melissa mommy and as always, it's great to have you with this. let's take a look at today's top stories. during a joint press conference with her russian counsel out south africa's foreign minister has underlined the countries independence and address its relations with russia. we as africans need to resist, is this impulse of wanting to direct a double standard form of international conduct toward us that what i do is okay for me, but you cannot do it because you are developing country or you are africa. that is

an abuse of international practice. when us have you immune your school, africa itself must determine the ways to solve problems on their continental. we share a partnership for accelerated growth and wish south africa speedy development. we talked about conflict resolution in african, for example, in countries like molly, sudan and mozambique. the international community is obligated to support the paths african countries have chosen for themselves. russia will contribute to the resolution of conflicts in flash points across africa, including the training of local peacekeepers. a few responses. are these alcorto was other com for other for thought. it shows this room for at the beginning of this meeting between the 2 foreign ministers. one of the things that the south african foreign minister mentioned right from the get go was the, i actually, the neo colonial, the anti neo colonial, rather legacy of the soviet union. and the amount of aid that the soviet union gate africa throughout the 20th century. she said that she wants warm relations between

russia and south africa and african south africa to continue to develop in the way they have since that time as well. we also heard at this press conference about what exactly they are going to do to deepen cooperation. we heard that specifically in the sphere of atomic energy and infrastructure. those are 2 areas that russian south africa are going to deepen their cooperation in the future lever. i've also mentioned that russia is dedicating itself to a further helping peacekeeping efforts in conflict zones across africa. as well. now, another thing we heard what that was mentioned here were upcoming joint military exercises between russia, south africa, and china. this is something that washington has taken issue with. it's called it provocative, but both foreign ministers basically said that every sovereign nation has the right to decide who it's going to conduct a joint military exercises with. so obviously that's that stance that washington

has taken on these upcoming join. military exercises has displeased these 2 countries as well as likely other other countries who find themselves in the same position. let's take a listen to what they said. this williams. we do not violate any norms of the law of the sea. so i don't understand the mixed reaction from the medium. america believes that only its forces are allowed to conduct exercises anywhere in the world. so they are engaged in exercises within the framework of in those strategies, right next to china. and this does not cause a mixed reaction in the media. our exercises are transparent and russia, china, and south africa has made all the information public was closed, asked them about these claims by the united states that russia is somehow weapon ising food, and that the actions of russian president vladimir putin are somehow ah, harming the african economy, i was able to ask both foreign ministers about that as well as the kind of pressure

that washington has been putting on african countries that dare to say that they're going to have warm relations or even cordial relations with the russian federation in terms of um, the south african foreign minister, she focused really on the grain deal, the ukraine grain deal. and the fact that i'm, that most of that grain is not even going to the countries that need it the most, it's actually going to western europe. so the south african foreign minister actually called on journalists to find where exactly that grain is going. she said, it would be really nice to see some sort of investigative report into that. to understand why that's happening. as for sir gay leverage, he laid the blame squarely at the feet of the west, slits at the west. let's take a listen to what he said for a minute. it's them good. we have repeatedly provided confirmed facts, proving the problems in the food markets began long before russia's military operation. according to the us, we turn everything into weapons, oil, gas, sports,

and so on. i handed over a text today that sets out the situation in the food markets. after the you and hed proposed the initiative. we immediately agreed. and now we've implemented 2 agreements about the grain deal, which is somehow being implemented. but everything goes to the you and not to poor countries. as for russian, fertilizers and grain, the un didn't help the west remove obstacles to our exports. and indeed, there is no line about food and grain in the sanctions. but there are points about bands for ships to enter ports where a ban on our banks using swift. but the west continues to insist that food is not under sanctions. all the important issues are being sidelined, those now and surprisingly on the number of topics that were discussed was of course, the ukraine conflict, which russia said it's always open to negotiating an end to war, at least a ceasefire. and it's actually a key of that laugh rov explained which has a flat out rejected any sort of negotiating. and he pointed to the fact that

vladimir zalinski had a made it so that it would be illegal in ukraine for ukrainian officials to actually have any sort of negotiating going on with the russian side. so we heard a bit about that, but that's basically a rundown of the main topics that were discussed at this press conference here in pretoria. in the mid to sway african opinion, the us is set to serve as un envoy to the continent. we have elton follows a recent visit by the us treasury secretary to zambia anderson ago, where she attempted to portray moscow as a troubling issue for africa which is war and weapon. the station of food is exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic kid wins caused by the actions of a single man president who is creating an unnecessary drag on african economy. american government right now,

he's trying to rescue their influence here in the african continent, and sometimes to change the opinion of the grand countries in about the war in the ukraine. this is the 1st thing you see was and be korean, kenya and other countries are the quality countries are part of the members of the security council of the united nation. so this is the 1st reason that the secretary is mozambique to mozambique and other countries to, to try to change. did the opinion african government trust in the russian or russian government? this is all right. can say right now because the western countries are coming here are coming here in the have to confirm a few years ago and tried to make some things, a development of the piece and etc. but we don't see

anything under gary, always wars in some parts of the african continental. so this is the 1st reason we are we are looking at for the other friends. the fact that the united poland has warned that germany will faith international isolation and the weakening of its position and will politics if it impedes in the rig sporting of its left foot 2 tanks, a cave, germany, not agreeing to send tanks, risks, internationally isolating them. and their position will be very weak if they continue. close is interesting. poland calling the shots over germany now way better. send those tanks, berlin, to prove that you are a real man. by the way, quick reminder, germany has been funding footing. the bills for the block has its largest contributor with poland, being the top recipient of that funding, which means that poland job is basically bossing around germany. over tanks,

like the teenager making demands, was his parents while living in their basement, taking weekly cash allowance. and if that wasn't enough, poland has also been demanding reparations from germany for the 2nd world war. basically having a tantrum that berlin has blown off completely. and now poland has been demanding the germany let it give its toys away to its friend ukraine. when the deal was that, if germany gave poland some tags and the 1st place, they wouldn't be allowed to leave the toy box without dad's permission. but the polish prime minister has recently told dad, you're not the boss of me, have a listen. who lost germany for permission bought this as a secondary even if eventually we do not get this permission. we within this small coalition that even if germany is not in this coalition, we will handle our tanks together with the others to ukraine. so in recent hours, german foreign minister and alina barbara basically signalled that they'd be

willing to let poland give it's tanks to ukraine. so some of the playground kids have joined in to gang up on dad chanting, free, the leopards now in front of german chancellor. all of schultz is office last friday, the leopards being those german tanks. so the pressure has been on former british prime minister boys johnson. remember him while he crawled back out from wherever he was hiding in obscurity for a trip to achieve over the weekend where he was hanging out with ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, talking about the need to quote, gives the ukrainians all the tools they need some in the u. s. or even saying that president joe biden should send abrams tanks, which both defense secretary austin and joint chiefs. chair general milly are both reportedly against. but they're saying that binds should do this only as sort of a ruse to suck germany and descending its tanks. directly to ukraine,

are you arguing here for the us, sending abrams tanks to ukraine? 100 percent? we don't have to send. very many. all we have to do is send enough to unleash what germany, how's, and what the 10 other countries and nato have. nato has to share the burden. remember, germany's position has always been up till now that unless the u. s. sens, it's abrams tanks to ukraine than it won't be sending any of its leopard tanks directly to ukraine. meanwhile, french president emanuel my call seems to be trying to buy time to avoid being ganged up on like schultz is over the issue, michael is refusing to rule out sending le class tanks, but also saying that he quote, asked the army minister to war chronic all this drama is over tanks that have already been described by supreme allied commander, europe. that's u. s. general christopher rivoli and not even b silver bullet for turning the tide and ukraine's favor. so

a lot of thanks germany is getting from its so called european allies for footing, the bills all these years. and now being treated like a pariah because it won't cave to their whims. cave is faith tools within russia. ukraine that were held and bo russellville, for the corporate, began to wipes harm for ukraine with no intention of diplomatic solution that was admitted by the head of you tradesman until it starts with in his latest interview . the main task we set for mr. careers was to delay the process in order to buy time since he personally knew to people in the negotiation process, who represented the russian side was. this is quite a revelation. here we have a senior ukrainian official, openly admitting that it was participating in peace told with russia in bad faith. kev's defense intelligence chief had said that he tasked the negotiated a. he said and his curve with heading to bella luce, i'm just 4 days after the lord the special military operation,

to delay those discussions. now, he was very clear that it was in order to buy time, but what did he mean by? they swell? korea had been asked to use his contacts, to slow down the top, so the ukraine armed forces could take action to quote, repel the enemy. remember, this came a time when western countries were drawing up sanctions packages against russia and were discussing the supply of weapons to ukraine. yet ukraine security forces seemed so concerned with a peace talks that they kidnapped and killed kraft dumping his body on the side of a road in the ukrainian capital. now, of course, all of this comes as ukraine and their western packers accuse russia of not acting in good faith at the negotiating table. i am extremely concerned how russia has been acting at the negotiating table. actually, i don't trust what russia is doing at all. any negotiations needs to be real, they need to be a meaningful. they can't just be a fig leaf,

full russian re armament, and for the recruitment of soldiers and moscow, of course, reject such allegations and accuses ukraine's packers of mischief. and let's not forget that a russian ceasefire proposal for the orthodox christmas was rejected earlier this month. all this guys goings, i, it doesn't seem like the collective worst once piece. i mean, all these tactics are they, are they in fact fix for these war games? you thing will x, remember that it is here is an, a been alleged is peace process, has been sabotaged by the direct intervention of western leaders. most notably, british prime minister, boris johnson, who is said to told lensky that piece is not an option during one of his visits to the ukrainian capital last april. now this came a time when there was a you reported to be a tentative piece there on the table between russia and. 5 ukraine and, and he told us lensky reportedly told zalinski to break off those talks. now the,

you, the united, united nation, 60 general antonia gutierrez, just last week, said there is no serious chance of peace. all was during his address to the world economic forum at the same meeting, of course, western leaders were talking about m more alms and selling more arms or more weapons or to ukraine. so for while russia has consistently underlined its commitment to pace, it appears others are not negotiating in good faith. we do know that the minsk agreements which hang to bring peace to the dumbass, we're not signed by the west in good. faith has been pretty much admitted by the, than leader of ukraine and the agreements, main sponsors, germany, and france. here is a reminder of what they said. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give the crane time ukraine. 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. thus the time that

prudent thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact an opportunity for the ukrainians. with his latest revelation appears to undermine the west plains and all very save his questions about where the pigs is really on. it's a gender at all. oh, they're a walk. horse london thomas rover says that while russia sat down ready to strike a piece daily in march, last year, ukraine was boring time and as soon a mood of failed minced agreements, we have seen that you can always was playing on time. the russians were, the place we're waiting for was the ukrainians announced to come they delayed than 4 hours 4 days saw that the ukrainian part was playing for time. this is nothing you we see. you can see this when you look at the news tickers from, from marsh last year when there were the reports about these negotiation. so this is not a surprise just, it's interesting that they know open the st. it's interesting. well, we have this, this miracle thing from a, from, from a chance lamar to which she opened,

he said that, ah, with the minsky agreement was only 2 by time. or maybe they have to plan with this, maybe this just accidentally, the thing is what are that it can be sure that the western media don't cover that. so then the metal story was an interview in the german site, but not german news outlet. after that asked questions, put this topic on the, on the roll. nobody did it and this is the same um, less than yours will not cover this and what, what he said about were playing on time. and they will still say, hey, russia is the one who doesn't want to talk to you. craig would like to talk, although the, if this decrease from zalinski, which is prohibiting any new phases with russia, they don't what they don't want to negotiate anything. and we see from the past that music agreement was only 2 by time and whatever they proposed to rush end of march last year. anyway, we, we saw whole march that in june all the negotiations,

they were always playing. the wagner group has confirmed the has repeatedly called american special service agents, who had tried to organize assassination attempt is a good response to ortiz requests. more than once, we've caught armed groups and employees of the american special services who tried to harm the wagner group and organized assassination attempts. each time we gave them a kick in the butt, fed them lunch and dinner, and let them go in peace. there are plenty of video materials. well, the question that he post to him was, why now is it that the united states has chosen to label, designate wagner as a criminal organization and a mr. precaution, head of the private military company. wagner said that the question touched it, but he had a lot to say about. he started off by saying, look, what is good and evil. for, for the united states, anything that goes against his interest is evil. for russia,

anything that goes against him's, it's interest, is also evil. he said, you can pay double speak or you want, but when you look at pod facts, russia in the united states are sworn enemies. and also, if you look at reality of what has happened rather than talk a disgusting rights and good and evil. he says the united states remains the only country in the world to have dropped to, to nuclear weapons on cities, civilian cities. it has started was the world over rock libya, syria, many other countries. he, he listed it. he said, look, well, wagner has done is around the world and tried to put out these fuzz started by the united states. he says, wagner is merely a company, a private military company. this is a state, but in the mind of the united states, i. e, these criminal organization, mr. preggers and said that if wagner is a criminal organization, and if we go by what both sides have done. so wagner and the united states that

would make the united states a criminal syndicate. he says that the, the wagner couldn't touch, he went on to the, to mentioned how it is that the united states rule. he says the united states exists because of, i don't say a share of the world economy. that it controls from money that belong to the countries, but that the united states ends up with. he says, look, look, any country, any entity, any state that resists the united states, is labeled on democratic, eventually criminal. any state that confronts or entity that confronts the united states becomes a terrorist state or terrorist entity. he said, look, we have no problem with the united states. we won't, we don't chic partake. what is american? what we want is to keep what is russia and that he says, we're not prepared to give up. he went on into details, as was mentioned,

that there have been assassination attempts by us sponsor groups as well as bio employees of united states intelligence agencies aimed against the wagner group. he says, there are plenty of with videos and his organization is in possession of plenty of videos that would prove this african say that the u. s. con. label the wagner group was on tariff, vincent american. the souls have mercenaries in ukraine who are fighting against russia. the death done in us is one of the great threats to the western world is in a way, wagner, who has set out in a way to conquer the interests of some western countries. in particular, france, england, and certainly the united states wasn't navine. the united states is an allies with several actors. the u. s. cannot label longer as an armed terrorist group, while the same united states maintains mercenaries and ukraine will fight against russian forces. if the mercenary is a terrorist group,

then what about american mercenaries? is that the russians alone who have a monopoly and most the recent, the world amends on the same americans and british flooded iraq with private military companies. the black waters and rangers, it was private companies that destroyed a rock that did russia label those companies as war criminals. then why today this relentlessness attack on wagner? panama is clearly to deter any country that it won't to call on the expertise of this group. these all the implications because we have already stigmatized and categorized them as terrorist groups. france is the best option for india to substitute russian weapons devise us a message from paris envoy to new delhi, also praising by lance relations between the 2 powers. we have great corporation on strategic issues this an extreme level of trust in the counselor's commitment to each other. no other country is in tant, until we were in the past technology to the gen forces without any kind of

restrictions. we are committed to not only india, but also it's called development and call manufacturing held the country for us is us having to say good lindy's if i suppose comes of a similar initiatives from other western countries in the last year. the u. k. u. s . and other nato allies have made numerous things to drive a wedge between moscow and new delhi marshall. m a math is one for both devotee she's in integrated. defense of has told me that russia is a reliable partner for the country. india has to take very strong strategic partnerships with russia also in france and india. now i will kill men as only follow that strategy of keeping it so. so i will say that is one part. but notwithstanding that the

india, russia, and in the former soviet union relationship, particularly in the defense, goes a long way and are seen as a very, very reliable and extremely important strategic partner in the context, a style which is absolutely in the national interest. so it's not falling for any one site, it takes a very balance fan, that's one. but there is more economical economics and to this entire process, you use all kinds of reasoning to put it in a way. the indian government does look very confused about what dependency on import and therefore the argument about a strategy that's being put in place looks at indian elation of india defense equipment. and that is going to play a major role. you are. so make

a plan to change the way the country is. national debt ceiling is calculated. lawmakers are proposed to change the national debt. see from a fixed of about 2 percentage of the country g d, p. the plan comes of a report record highs of us debt now exceeding $31.00 and a half trillion dollars, as well as investors concerns over future markets, debility, or think ought to decrease times, gave us more details on the matter, slightly the move as a fraud. the u. s. plates, it's inflation based on what it cools, a consumer price index. and the problem with this index, when it's calculated, if it doesn't count, the huge amounts of items when it calculates. and it also does not calculate a difference in price surge. and through quantity, so what my quality is, if you buy a new car and the next year the car company comes out with another model of that car. and that car is more expensive. they won't count that as an increase in price . now the trouble is global markets and the financial analyst,

and i was saying this is that the joke that it is right? so really that having to come up with a new solution in order to, to, you know, diaper, they tend attention elsewhere. and to come up with a new way to crates. in a very interesting numbers with global markets. essentially what i think they're trying to do is to completely wipe the slate clean, right? because the minute that you stop being able to measure inflation or death as we prefer, or government debt in line with actually economic right, it becomes impossible for us really to see how much money they're borrowing and how much debt the countries it. and as the u. s. controllers the global reserve currency, which is the u. s. dollar, it's more impossible for us to add a hold of dollars in the world to see if that printing any more. so really, it said it might need some massive scam that they're probably hoping is going to reduce the concern in the global market as to how many dollars they're printing and how much debts they're accumulating. day by day it's just going to put the markets into further tomo right, because as a, as an analyst, as an investor. right now, i'm trying to look at the u. s. economy,

which is basically tagging anyone trading in u. s. dollars around the world and figure out where, where will, if i deploy my capital the minute i cannot see the debt on the balance sheet. not hoping to fill me with confidence to invest money, not just in the u. s, but pretty much anywhere in the world because i'm constantly going to be in fair because i cannot see actually how much debt in real terms is out there in the market which could complete inoculate tank. well, my investment, i would go as far to say that this is fraud. i would just put this into the, into a real terms example for you. so let's say you and i sets up the company. now when we went to investors and raised money. and we did not disclose those invest is how much money or how much debt was on our balance sheet on all those. well, if our invest is found out and they report to, that's the please you and i would go quite brightly, going to present the defrauding. however, in this case, it looks like, you know, we, we talk a lot in the program, a difference between the u. s. is so good rules, i order in international law, you know, it appears that the u. s. and i respect the international law and now even very basic tenants of rule such as fraud. so yeah, i think this is

a highly legal act on the international state. good, so i don't says his country would. black suit is bid to join nato. the announcer comes in response to the burly of the koran, outside, unquote, embassy in stockholm. those who turn a blind eye to this outrage have undoubtedly calculated the consequences. it is clear that those who allow such blasphemy should not expect any support from us regarding nato, when someone dishonors us, when someone commits injustice, we let him know his place. if you are so respectful of rights and freedoms, you will respect the religious beliefs of muslims if you will not. i'm sorry, you will not receive support from us during the nato membership process. this took place on saturday. we're an anti is dummy politician, burned a crew on outside a turkish embassy in so comb. his action sponsor severe backlash won the

international community. hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the swedish consulate in his stumble to express the anglo people in tune. he is largest city was seen bernie, a picture of an anti immigrant politician who's in recent interview, said he had no regrets for his actions. his what some turkish locals had to say about the controversial in the bathroom. this is a huge provocation. this is an attempt to get a reaction out of turkey in the muslim world. this has nothing to do with freedom or democracy. if the bible or the tora was burnt, there would be an uproar. why is it acceptable when it is the corolla that we have of nothing, sir. i cannot accept this attack on the holy book of my religion. this is not toleration and it will not receive tolerance. and this is not freedom. this is will garrity. this is unacceptable and it should not be forgiven if i spit, luckily we don't want sweden admitted into nato. it would be absurd.
