continent. africa 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 stopped by for a 5 country tor. 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 whose stop, by, in south africa as the 1st up of his grand african tore. and the treasury secretary of the united states jenna dylan 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 made africa? the global frenzy for diplomatic meetings in recent times is because africa remains

attractive. a, 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 or for computers or just to keep the engines going. we have, we have what it takes. and in fact, and these are important of dramatic 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 that president biden himself may be accompanied by his vice president coming to harris later on this year as the final christian due to they are quite shipped 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 break summit

. washington is well aware of the self created as i am 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 done everything in his power to isolate russia. but in africa, nothing comes that easy. you can't be neutral for wrong. and right now the evidence is showing clearly with the evolution of the war frame of 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. so, so sending a signal to the rest of the countries that my goodness, we have to be able to, to take a stand on know if the standard for this is a neutral stance, it can evolve into

a 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. treasury secretary, janet jaelyn, arrives in pretoria on tuesday and she will be welcomed by south africa's humming sound of generated. yes, south africa, the continent, most industrialized economy is grappling with severe power cuts. and unlike jaelyn they, i had to stay. that's what africa should expect. so backlash is more. yeah. because when you are so low, that kind of money, 8500000000 zone, 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 prints of those conditions and certificates. going to have to play very carefully. and i think

telling you, because as a young man working for the world bank in inverted sustainable development for quite a while, the 6 or so. so that because going to have to be very careful, not only paying back that room, but also for having accepted too early and quickly the terms of wood and africa, everybody's called the climate change. secretary jaelyn will travel to the ford motor company assembly just outside pretoria. a place does create that much needed jobs, ill, an economy that's far too used to economic growth without jobs, but on friday, yelman's last day. here in south africa, she will travel to him from molina, the headland of south africa's cold 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

a couple of days ago which was intercepted by air defense systems. and last night this area was attacked by multiple launch rockets system, maybe united states called hi mars. the explosion was so strong that pieces of rails were completely blown out. now i can't even pick, pick this one up with my hands. so you can imagine how strong this explosion was. now, these types of rails half the explosions, there were flying absolutely everywhere. and one of them caused damage to the person who's now had the hospital would been bocelli. o 2 people were wounded. the locomotive driver and his assistant was they were towing a suburban train. this is the 3rd shelling in a row. the 1st came at 2 am it then at 10 p. m. and again at 4 am the next day.

they are depot is still working without interruption, despite all the damage. there were at least so for high mar sir rockets of fire against this railway station. this is just another crater of many around here. fragments of rockets like these can be found. absolutely everywhere, like i said, as the result of this effect to people to real a workers are now in the hospital. the sick place had 4 o'clock in the morning, however, if that's actually place during daylight, there could have been many, many more victims, judging by this wall and judging by these trout know holes ukraine. he is rockets designed to cause maximums, irish, and maximum civilian deaths. human call forever hearty love ice than that sc republic. meanwhile, care pretended to seek peace with moscow. shortly after the conflict began in

february, using cease fire talks as a ruse to buy time to regroup its troops and wait for western weapons. that's according to the chief of ukraine's men and main intelligence that directorate as he explained how one of kevin negotiators, dentist, kiera re of was executed by ukraine security service in march on suspicion of colluding with russia. the main task we set for mister crave 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 adviser miguel pedal loc also said that dennis kitty of seth was due to a lack of coordination between ukrainian security agencies, russia and ukraine, sat down for peace talks in late february, just days after the special military operation was launched. both sides even

reached a draft agreement with russia pulling back some of its troops. but the deal was never fully implemented as care of received western weapons and kept fighting. moscow says the u. s. and its allies persuaded ukraine to resist a p steel. however, the was claimed, it was russia that wasn't actually seeking peace since the 1st months of the conflict. despite moscow being the one insisting on cease fire talks with kev. 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 meaningful. they can't just be a fig leaf, full russian re armament, and for the recruitment of soldiers. back in 20142015. during the 1st outbreak of the conflict and don bass, germany and france mediated, the min steals, signed by moscow in cab. however,

the western leaders who guaranteed those agreements recently admitted they were actually meant to bring peace as a real goal was to give you crane time to prepare for war with russia. to 2014 minsk agreement was an attempt to give you a crane time. you can use 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 the prudent thought was an asset for him turned out to be in fact an opportunity for the ukrainians russians were at the place we're waiting for the ukrainians announced to come they delayed them for hours for days so that the ukrainian part was playing for time this is nothing you we have this metal thing from a, from, from a chance love america, which she opened. he said that, ah,

with the risk agreement was only 2 by time the medical story wasn't interviewed the german side, but no german news outlet. after that asked questions, put this topic on the, on the rule. nobody did it, and this is the same. m less than use will not come with this. so what he said about were playing on time, and they will still say russia is the one who doesn't want to talk, but what we see, right? no, they don't what they don't want to negotiate anything. and we'll see from the past that music agreement was only 2 by a time and whatever they proposed to russia end of march last year. anyway, we, we saw whole march that you will probably groceries that they will always play ah, turning to south america. now we're brazil and argentina are planning to establish a common regional currency to boost bilateral trade and shift away from the u. s. dollar. the move was announced by the brazilian leader after talks in the argentinean capital. 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 at the upcoming community of latin american and caribbean states summit. there also expected to invite other countries in the region to join the currency block, our t spanish, corresponding camila, lozano delgado has more i'll say to me, no day luckily mid afternoon. the 1st meeting between louis scenario, la desilva and automatic hernandez was held in an encouraging atmosphere and margaret 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 countries desire to become economic leaders again and moved towards

integration on the continent. in addition to ministers of the 2 country assigned agreements in the field of science in 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, hulu, they left behind a trail that is expected to arrest. it strengthened the union of the 2 states that at the meadows, her fear, our 1st task is to console the democracy and state institutions to procure. 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 don't i 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 origin, tina for the aggressive actions against their country. the 2 please. during the rule of the bull sanara o 3, we intend to restore peaceful relation unless aimed at growth in order to restart bilateral ties between our states, our entropy centers understand this idea. and they should also realize how significant argentina is for us in their turn, argentinean entrepreneurs should understand the significance of good bilateral relations with brazil. 30 lam renee, but regarding currency is she is the argentinean economy minister, sergio masa announced at work and establishing a single currency in argentina in brazil will begin this week. i say it is aimed and lifting regional trade and at the same time reducing dependence on the u. s. dollar. this question was also discussed by the presidents who touched upon possible participation in the initiative of venezuela and the presence of the countries president linda salik summit. my mom over the 2 heads of steve discussed

the existing sanctions against minnesota. ella, as well as actions that make life easier for the people of this country, but again, no feel for them by mcginnis interfering in the political processes in venezuela. the problem can be resolved through dialogue, not sanctions, or threats of occupation. brazil is going to restore diplomatic relations with venezuela. we want venezuela to have an embassy in brazil, and we want brazil to likewise have an embassy in venezuela. were determined to restore civilized relations between the 2 independence states. so an issue of yellow su the 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 approval frontier. therefore, we must encourage dialogue among venezuelans, the chief editor of brazilian opera moon. these says portal portal says youth south america would only benefit from a common currency as that would help build

a strong economy without dependence on the u. s. the great advantage of this measure would be the possibility, the possibility of carrying out all the commercial in banking operations without the need for, for the ex and without resorting to exchange rates 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 erode in the same way that you make the face in the early seventy's and link it 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 part of the zation of the economy. and in that weakening of the dollar s. as in money currency, the turkish president says his country will not back sweden's bid to join nato. he announced that comes in response to the burning of the koran outside on cars, embassy and stop home during 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 an anti islamic politician publicly burned a copy of the koran. this marked a severe backlash from the global muslim community with the malaysian foreign minister describing the act as a latent islam of phobia. and pakistan's top diplomat, calling it a harmful gesture for more than 1500000000 muslims worldwide. finland's foreign minister now says the talks were, the assertion of his country and sweden to nato should be put on ice as it would be best to wait until things settle down. hundreds of demonstrators gathered in front of the swedish consulate in east. i'm bull to vent their anger. people inter key is largest city were seen burning a picture of the anti immigrant politician when a recent interview said he had no regrets for his action. rallies also flared up in some other muslim countries. tens of thousands took to the streets in yemen to

strongly condemn the desecration of the koran. protesters were seen burning, israeli, and american flags across in iraq. the clashes erupted near the swedish embassy with local scuffling with police outside the diplomatic building. meanwhile, the u. s. has weighed in suggesting the koran burning act, and stockholm could be a ploy 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 sweden, maybe engaging in an intentional effort to try to weaken unity across the atlantic . and within and among our european allies and perch. journalists use of aram says the scandalous incident in sweden means the nordic country has lost any support a potentially still had for its native bid and trickier well the domestic

atmosphere right now surrounding sweden's nate 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 a forever closing the book on sweden's nato bid, but ah, not, there won't be any type of support for sweden becoming a natal 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, or it's of the swedish politicians. they are 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 if the swedish laws are allowing for such a 8 prime to take place that i think that the suites need to take very long, hard look at themselves in 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, it's a ask themselves, what's being express? i think very clearly 8 is being expressed in if hate is being expressed. this is the 8 prime and as such, it should be illegal under any to any country slots. india in the u. k. are edging closer to signing a free trade agreement. but there are strings attached on london's terms. this initiative comes at mid growing cooperation between the countries. their economic relations are on the rise with bilateral trade turnover,

reaching more than $29000000000.00 pounds last year, which is 33 percent higher than a year before that you guys exports to india in 2022 amounted to more than 12000000000 pounds while india's exports to britain reached more than 17000000000. however, there are some serious obstacles in the upcoming deal, as it's not expected to include the free movement of indians to the u. k. which was something london had agreed on earlier in a similar pact 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 ability offer. i can do with the country like india, which has good many times the population. and you dolly 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. yes, that more concrete have very different actually can we expect some of this real food agreement, if you, if the india wants more be related to facilities. so skilled work curves in the long india. so if you can go to written in loving them, love them. well then they go and i know they're looking for a new market, right? they're like to being for, if you see and in boy dad died and they, they, they implemented the big, you know, we put some thought up there. i think it's the public of sense. so they are looking for new market india emerging market. india has lived relatively large market and

many other parts of the world said. so they're looking for a $1000001.00 to reach the indian market. but it cannot be happen in unit 12. it, they're sort of compromise also and allow more indian to work to success there, as you can smelling something up of unity. well now it seemed they are not very for their that's our up on this ours top news stories from all around for more to the minute news updates and content head over to r t dot com. thanks for tony in we'll see back in 30 minutes. ah ah,

with the discovery of the new world, at the end of the 15th century, there appeared atlantics, slave dre. the slave traders from european countries started building forth on the western coast of the african continent to transport the african inhabitants to america, to be forced into hard labor. until the middle of the 17th century. portugal had played the main role in this atrocious business. then great britain, france and the netherlands took the leadership for the span of 400 years of legal and illegal slave trade. about 17000000 people were forcefully shipped across the atlantic. not including those who died on the way due to unbearable living conditions. modern historians estimate that for each slave ship to america, there were 5 who died while captured during transportation,

and cruel obliteration of rebellion. this ruthless people tre practice by the leading european countries, took away tens of millions of african lives. the organisation of united nations classified the trans atlantic slave trade as one of the gravest human rights abuses in the history of humanity. this is the biggest act of deportation of people ever seen by mankind. ah, with .
