[000:00:00;00] a few book on the companies to provide you with those with a, as the west claims you russians, peace efforts are not real yet openly admit. it makes peace talks with moscow last march to buy a military time to rearm and regroup. also this, our we, as africans need to resist, is this impulse of wanting to drive the double standard. the international community is obligated to support the paths african countries have chosen for themselves. russia and south africa held their independent decision making and

partnership. i'm in washington, the 10th 2 africans to hop on the western bandwagon against moscow. brazil and argentina agreed to aim to ditch the dollar as a south american nation. i a common currency road map. plus the target president says he will not support sweden's nato bid in response to the sanction burning of the koran, out of protest install call with coming to live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. he had pretended to seek peace with moscow shortly after the conflict began in february, using cease fire talks, as a rule to buy time to regroup its troops and wait for western weapons. that's

according to the chief of ukraine's main intelligence directorate. as he explained how one of the kids negotiators, dennis t ray, it was executed by ukraine security service in march on suspicion of colluding with russia. the main task we set for mr. cray is, 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. ukrainian presidential advisor may how pollock also said that dennis key ray of death was due to a lack of coordination between ukrainian security agencies. russia and ukraine sat down for peace talks and late february, just days after the special military operation was launch. both sides even reached a draft agreement with russia falling back some of its troops. but the deal was never fully implemented as key at received western weapons and capital fighting. moscow says the us and its allies persuaded ukraine to resist a peace deal. however,

the west claimed it was russia that wasn't actually seeking peace since the 1st months of the conflict. does my moscow being the one insisting on cease fire talks with kiev? 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 be real. they need to be meaningful. they call just be a fig leaf, full russian re all moment. and for the recruitment of, of soldiers. back in 20142015. during the 1st outbreak of conflict in don bass, germany and france mediated, the men still signed by moscow and kiev. however, the western leaders who guarantee those agreements recently admitted they weren't actually meant to bring peace, as the real goal was to give you a crane time to prepare for war with russia. the 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give ukraine time ukraine use this time to become stronger 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 i thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact an opportunity for the ukrainians russians were at the place were waiting for you created to come they delayed, then 4 hours, 4 days. so that ukrainian part was playing for time. this is nothing you we have to think from from, from a chunk of an article which she opened. he said that means kaminsky agreement was only 2 by time the medical story was an interview in the german site, but not the german news outlet. after that asked questions, put this topic on the, on the roll. nobody did it, and this is to same western use will not cover. this is what he said about what

playing on time. and they will still say, hey, russia is the one who doesn't want to talk. but what we see right now, they don't, they don't want to make sure anything. and we see from the past that music agreement was only 2 by time and whatever they proposed to russia end of march last year. anyway, we, we saw the whole march that you will order the groceries and they were always playing with another development south africa. top typical man has underlined the countries independence and good relations with russia as the to foreign ministers met in pretoria to plot a course of cooperation beyond western influence. we as africans, need to resist, is this impulse of wanting to direct the 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 unless you live in your school, africa itself must determine the ways to solve problems on their continental to we share a partnership for accelerated growth and which south africa speedy development. the international community is obligated to support the paths african countries have chosen for themselves. during survey lab, rob's visit, both foreign ministers, highlighted key points of cooperation. russia says it will help peacekeeping missions in south africa, balls or trimming activities, the countries atomic energy grade and other infrastructure. after wrapping up chalks in pretoria survey oliver av moved on to neighboring. s. martini ortiz, donald quarter, is there with the latest right now in the last absolute monarchy in all of africa, it's called as swa teenie, formerly known as swati land, and it's a landlocked country, completely surrounded by south africa. now the internet wasn't working very well,

so i'm actually filming this right now on my phone. but the reason i'm here is because we're waiting for a very special meeting between the russian foreign minister, sergei laugh rob and the prime minister of this country to take place. they're going to be talking about bilateral relations between the 2 countries. they're going to be signing some documents that will allow for a non visa regime between diplomats of the 2 countries. so we're going to check out that meeting, give you the latest. and we're also going to check out what they have to say at a press conference afterwards. this comes as the u. s. fishes, its own agenda in africa, with washington to send it's un ambassador to the continent for talks does after a recent visit by the u. s, treasury secretary to zambia, and cindy eagle, where she attempted to portray russia as a troubling issue for africa, which is war in wip initiation of food. his exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. and the global economic head winds caused by the actions of a single man,

president putin is creating an unnecessary drag on africa's economy artes africa, corresponding corolla that la delves into the details of the international scramble for the continent of russia has become the must fly to destination point for diplomats of global powers. last week, all eyes were cast on china's new foreign affairs minister who stop by for a 5 country tour. and while he was here, so to weigh his french and german counterparts who made a visit to ethiopia. and this week kicked off with russian foreign affairs minister, sergey lover of who stopped by in south africa as the 1st of his grand african tore and the treasury secretary of the united states jenna deland, is also on the continent at the same time. and the u. s ambassador

to the united nations is also fair to be on her way next week. so what's lead africa? the global frenzy for diplomatic meetings in recent times is because africa remains attractive to those who want to manufacture the equipment that is important in the global economy. whether it's the natural resources that you need for cellphones or for i tick awful computers or just to keep the engines going, we have, we have what it takes. and in fact, at these are important rhetoric visits because of economic reasons. the united states has made no secret that it is desperate to woo african countries. washington host that the u. s. africa summit in december with rumors rumbling the president biden himself may be accompanied by his vice president cumberland harris. later on

this year. as the final crescendo to the quite ship with africa, but washington's message will face stiff competition yet, considering that prison, she and president putin will also be in south africa in august for the brick summits, washington as well away of the self created chasm. with the continent, and it's been that way since last march vote in the united nations general assembly, when majority of african countries refuse to condemn russia over the u. crane conflict. and for month, the west has been everything in his power to isolate russia, but in africa, nothing comes that easy. you can't be true for it wrong. and right now the evidence is showing clearly with the evolution of the ward brain. that right? so africa is clearly know showing signs of choosing site. i mean, meeting with the russian foreign minister. and so africa as one country. now

there's also sending a signal to the rest of the countries that my goodness, we have to be able to to take a stand. well now, if the standard for this is a neutral stance, it can evolve into choice. partnership with africa is trying to balance out as much as the partnership between the old west will you know, western nations and new partners like russia, china treasury, secretary genet. jaelyn arrives in pretoria on tuesday and she will be welcomed by south africa. humming sound of generated. yes. south africa, the continent, most industrialized economy is grappling with severe power cuts. and unlike jaelyn, they, i hate to stay. africa should expect some backlash is not here. because when you are low, that kind of money, 8500000000, zer,

lot of cash. and anybody who gives that to you, or it's not a gift practice, it comes with conditions in the backlash committee into those fine friends of those conditions in south africa is going to have to play very careful what that. and i think in, i'm telling you, because as a young man working for the world in your environment at sustainable good looking or should, i know well, the speaks or so. so africa is going to have to be very careful not only paying back that when, but also for having accepted too early and quickly the terms of wood and africa. everybody's cold. climate change. secretary yellen will travel to the ford motor company assembly just outside pretoria. a place does create that much needed jobs in an economy that's far too used to economic growth without jobs, but on friday. yelton's love they here in south africa,

she will travel to implement the headland of south africa's coal belts. it is day where she will need men and women who have built their livelihoods on coal. and she will tell them about the commitments made in the just energy transition plan. but she will hardly tell them how fickle those commitments are or what they can do to their life's got of a little flat fee and pretoria turning to south america now where brazil and argentina are planning to establish a common regional currency to his bilateral trade and shift away from the u. s. dollar. the move was announced by the brazilian leader after toxin argentinian capital. you, if it were up to me, we would always trade with other countries and national currencies, so as not to be dependent on the dollar and why not make an attempt to create a common currency for mercosur countries or bricks countries. i believe that over

time we will come to that. i believe this is necessary because many countries face challenges buying dollars, brazil, and argentina. we'll discuss the details of the plan of the upcoming community of latin american in caribbean states summit. they're also expected to invite other countries in the region to join the currency block. our teeth managed correspondent, camille lozano delgado has more move with i let me know they left. we went out on the 1st meeting between louis and i see a little of silva, an automatic hernandez was held in an encouraging atmosphere among humans in the field of diplomatic relations. the brotherhood of the 2 nations was one topic and touched upon in particular, as well as the country's desire to become economic leaders again and moved towards integration on the continent. in addition, the ministers of the 2 countries signed agreements in the field of science and the economy as well as integration and financial in energy spheres. mitochondria is that argentina will exchange its gas for electricity from brazil in none of their agreement,

signed touches upon corporation and antarctica. finances also mentioned the challenges that both countries face after the stepping down of governments of a completely different kind lose they, they left behind a trail that is expected to arrest. it strengthened the union of the 2 states that at the meadows. her v o, our 1st task is to console the democracy and state institutions. bracket dear friend, i want you to know that argentina will always be with you. and we will not allow some crazy man to attack the democracy and state institutions of brazil. we will not allow some fascist to come from above to attack the sovereignty of the people as it don't have been turned the brazilian president. thank his counterpart, fernandez who he called his friend for his unconditional support and also apologized not only to his colleague, but also to the entire people of urgent deena for the aggressive actions against their country. the 2, please. during the rule of the pl sanara was 3, we intend to restore peaceful relation aimed at growth in order to restart

bilateral ties between our states. our interpreters understand this idea and they should also realize how significant argentina is for us and their turn argentinean, their interpreters should understand the significance of good bilateral relations with brazil. so we're now but in regarding currency issues, there argentine and economy minister sergio masa announced that we're going to stablish in a single currency in argentina. and brazil will begin this. it is in the listing regional trade in the same time of reducing dependence on the u. s dollar. this question was also discussed by the president who touched upon possible participation in the initiative of venezuela and the president of the country's president. i'm selling some of my mom over the to have the state because the existing sanctions against as well as actions that make life easier for the people of this country. folk by me again, it's interfering in the political processes and venezuela. the problem can be resolved through dialogue, not sanctions,

or the threats of occupation. brazil is going to restore diplomatic relations with venezuela. we want to minutes well as to have an embassy in brazil, and we want brazil to likewise have an embassy in venice. waylon were determined to restore civilized relations between the 2 independent states in yellow as he was a very productive dialogue between the venezuelan government and the opposition. the elections were held transparently. all the rules were observed without any further questions arising. therefore, we must encourage dialogue among venezuelans. the chief editor of brazilian opera monday news portal says that south america would only benefit from a common currency as it would help build a strong economy without dependence on the us. the great advantage of this measure would be the possibility, the possibility of carrying out all commercial and banking operations without the

need for 40 x and without resorting to exchange rate in dollars or euro's. another advantage would be the expense show of regional investments through integrated financial institutions without the backing of the dollar or the iraq in the same way that unite the faith in the early seventy's and link it's dollar insurance. front available, go reserve, south america would partially eliminate the dollar as an anchor off. it's economic activity. in any case, it could be irrelevant. it's that for was in south american into ration in that range is 30 zation of the economy. and in the weakening of the dollar s. as in money currency the turkish presidents as his country will not back sweden's bed to join nato. the announcement comes in response to the

burning of the koran outside on her as embassy and stock on jerry, a protest sanctioned by local police. 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. the controversial incident took place on saturday when the anti islamic politicians publicly burned a copy of the koran. this spark to severe backlash from the global muslim community . with the malaysian foreign minister describing the act as malignant, former soviet and packing comparative will not calling it

a harmful gesture for more than one point. 5000000000 muslims worldwide. then the foreign minister now says the talk for the exception of his country in sweden, nato should be put on ice, as it would be best to wait until things settled down. hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the swedish consulate in this symbol to vent their anger. people inter kias largest city were seen burning a picture of the anti immigrant politician. so in a recent interview said he had no regrets about his actions. rallies also flared up and some other muslim countries, tens of thousands trip to the streets in yemen to strongly condemn the desecration of the koran. purchasers were also seen burning as rally and american flocks across iraq. clashes erupted near the swedish embassy with locals. coupling with police outside the diplomatic building. meanwhile, the u. s. has weighed in suggesting that the koran burning act in stock home could be employed by foreign forces aiming to undermine nato. we are

also cognizant of the fact that those who may be behind what has taken place in maybe engaging in an intentional effort to try to weaken unity across the atlantic . and within and among our european allies and partners. journalists use of aram says that the scandalous incident in sweden means the nordic country of off any support potentially still had for its nato, been inter kia well, the domestic atmosphere right now surrounding sweden's need obeyed after the burning of the koran is very, very toxic. i don't foresee any turkish politician trying to garner support for sweden because domestically it would hurt them. and this being in the election year, i don't think anyone's going to go to back sweden right now, so i don't know if it's a done deal. if it's up forever closing the book on sweden's nato bid,

but not there won't be any type of support for sweden becoming a needle member. at least for the foreseeable future, most likely for the rest of this year is the, is the burning of a cron. in sweden, a attempt to undermine nato. well, we need to understand that if this was an attempt to undermine nato, those who allowed it the swedish police, the swedish courts of the swedish politicians. they're the ones that actually allowed this to unfold in undermined their own data accession process. and no one at the end, the day force swedish police to approve this very disgusting act. then it, the swedish laws are allowing for such a 8 crimes to take place that i think that the sweets need to take a very long, hard look at themselves and very long, hard look at their laws. why are they are allowing this type of hate mongering under freedom of expression. if this is a freedom of expression,

one has to ask its ask themselves what's being express. i think very clearly 8 is being expressed in if hate is being expressed. this is that 8 prime and as such, it should be illegal under any to any countries. loss in the, in the u. k. are edging closer to signing a free trade agreement. but there are strings attached on london's terms. the initiative comes in a growing cooperation between the countries. their economic relations are on the rise with bilateral trade turn over reaching more than $29000000000.00 pounds last year, which is a 33 percent higher than the year before. the u. k. the exports, india, and 2022 amounted to more than 12000000000 pounds, while india's exports to britain reach more than 17000000000. however, there are some serious obstacles in the upcoming deal, as it's not expected to include the free movement of the indians to the u. k, which was something london had agreed on earlier in

a similar pack with australia. we have to make sure that each trade agreement was signed is tailored to the specific country, the kinds of mobility, or if i can, to, to a country like australia is not going to be the same kind of mobility alpha i can do with the country like india, which has good many times the population. a new delhi based foreign affairs observer told us more about the contradictions in the upcoming deal, and shared his view on why the u. k. wants the agreement in the 1st place. see what they know of us, that what concrete have very different actually we expect some of this group or agreement if the if the india wants more we yeah. we are related to facilitate so skilled workers and their friends from india. so you can go to, within, in loving them

a larger number then they will of i know they're looking for a new market for like they're like to being for, if you see and employ diet and they, they, they implemented the big. now if we put some thought up there, i think it's repercussions. so they are looking for a new market in the emerging market. india has lived relatively large market and many other parts of the world said. so they're looking for indian reachable indian market, but it cannot be happen up in unit $212.00 it. this will compromise also and allow more indian to, to success there as you can smell it, speaking some kind of job opportunities for now. it seemed they are not ready for

their the u. s. has imposed sanctions on 10 are only and officials and one entity for what it sees as human rights abuses across and the you foreign ministers adopted a similar package of things is on monday. however, the latest european restrictions have not blacklisted around the revolutionary guard. cor, despite hostile rhetoric towards the organization that you're honest. the radian regime with its revolutionary god, terrorizing their own people day of the day. it's therefore important that will launch a 4th patch of sanctioned again. i don't think it's stormed. will you repeat and reflect, you know, responses to this policy of fate. hard to just that ron is now practicing group is on the latest 4th package. if you sanctioned effects, 18 iranian officials and 19 entities including lawmakers, state media representatives and morality. police chiefs,

those on the us can no longer travel to the you and their assets in the union will be frozen. i had the vote in brussels. we're on warn you against classifying their revolutionary guards as a terrorist organization and underline that iran itself is in fact tackling terrorism in the region. and he moves against the iranian corpse would also be seen as undermining the efforts to restart the international nuclear deal. the sanctions come in response to protests interrupted and iran, back in september after a young woman died in police custody. the incident spark demonstrations in riots in the country leading to widespread arrest and several executions. university of say, rom professor siad mohammed were on the says have been new. you sanctions only for sharon, closer to its allies like russia, with sanction that they've declared or force worthless. they're not important. none of these people north did the people who were sanctioned on previous occasions,

none of them have assets in europe. none of them travel to europe. none of them have any interest in europe. so it, it's, they're all symbolic and gradually affect the impact of western sanctions. decreases and basically what they've done is that they've push countries like iran in russia and china towards each other. and i think that is ironically very harmful toward for western policy. but when it comes to claiming that iran violates human rights, europeans and americans have imposed maximum pressure sanctions to kill iranians, to make iranian supper. and their persian language, television stations, many of them in london having encouraging people to kill police officers. so for them to speak about human rights for most people than iran is somewhat ridiculous. that's all for now. be sure to check out our
