hypocritical statement when considering nato's activities right on russia's doorstep, took you suckling a cookie while still trying to keep up the act. western countries became interested in why we're here in africa. i replied that we want to develop relations with everyone who's interested in it, but they told me that russia should learn that africa is a zone of european interests. earlier e u officials said that the balkans are also a zone of their interests and we should not go there. at the same time, the you considered it normal to work near russian borders. when african countries want to develop security relations with other nations. this leads to certain reactions, we're now being accused of infringing on french interests and molly burkina, faso and the central african republic. the e, you applies the same philosophy and mentality anywhere in the world. the same vicious logic applies to the african continent. lever of explained the situation as

12:06 pm
this comes as us treasury secretary, janice yellow and visits africa to push america's agenda. even spock and criticism from beijing over her latest statements, which he called the asian country, a barrier for the resolution of zombies, debt issues. even if the u. s. one day solves its debt problem, it is not qualified to make groundless accusations against well pressure. other countries out of selfish interests because it cannot alleviate the tremendous us responsibility for the reason behind the world's debt issues, let alone the fact the u. s. domestic debt problem is now wesley, the wells, economic and financial stability. zambia is struggling to pay off around $17000000000.00 of external debt, despite the country being the 2nd largest regional export of industrial minerals such as gold, china, yellow, and also recently visited synagogue where she tried to betray russia as the reason for africa's food in security. well, let's discuss this further with august. this cross slide to city lamina bank a,

12:08 pm
a fall of 19 it zambia was completely down and they needed a china to support them when china supported them. and now even if there is a some sign off for racial b, i'm to pay the money of china. that doesn't mean that if you can accuse, tie not to do whatever who any african complete and again was and yet because they have a very strong relationship with zambia and zambia as dinah has been helping them get winds. i'm gonna need it. so the u. s. and the international monetary fund to have pledged to help some be a, with its debt. do you think they can help solve the issues any more conditions would be attached? and also of course they, they can,

12:11 pm
no, of course they suffer because of and you know, all of the time is that f m i or wal bunk pushing the pressure to tell to african countries almost all or 90 percent of other countries today to take division or if not, they would not up and give them some long in order to pay their civil servants and to do some merger and was in their country m, you know, as i am i and now world bank i deleted, but the udall can come fees and dues european and western county, european countries including us or european countries, in addition to u. s. it would defect that, that is leading f m i and lord bank giving money to africa or giving money to the bilateral in the frame of ballot that i'll release on ships to african
12:12 pm
countries. they put pressure, but they recuperate to what they div air in the long and putting booth come to sometime in some problem because then know that eat want to be easy to pay back. that's why they say that in counterpart, you will give us this end as 3 days in the 3 and this industry. thus there is on, they always put pressures on african countries. and do the african countries also cannot say no because of the fact that in africa we don't have or big capacities in order to transform our resource in africa. that's why we feel need them again waiting for some more. yes, thanks for joining us on the fact,
12:13 pm
i'm really appreciate your insides into the situation we've been speaking. say said in a mean back a year ago, a political analyst get into his life from ali. thank. thank you so much, man. now the ukrainian army has lost 200 soldiers and i failed council talk on russian forces in la di tank the south west of don't. yes, that's according to arti sources in an unsuccessful, tactical move. kidd's 4th is launched a counter offensive aimed at gathering intelligence. and surrounding russian soldiers following the 2nd such failure since sunday on heavy losses, the ukrainian army has decided to withdraw its troops to regroup. what earlier we spoke to international lawyer and human rights attorney on no delay. i recently visited don't boss. and he says that ukraine, if they use by the west of the tool against russia, with civilians caught in the middle, actually visited this. so richard g triology center i and
12:14 pm
a lot of the people they were coming from solid are. and the 1st thing that struck me was that they would look for shell shocked. i mean, they had gone to, well, it's early and you know, their life was taken away from them in a way their routine, their houses were destroyed. and the last it with thing default mine right now is what i understand really busy what it's a thief, evolution. and there's, i would say a collapse of the default. and so the civilians are stuck in between. and i, i guess the cab regime is trying to lash out out of frustration on the civilians. weston already galks deep state. you know, they're using ukraine as a device as a mechanism as a tool, as it were. and knowing full well that that's going to be blog and it's going to be a broader the nation. it gets bother the nation essentially,
12:15 pm
but they don't care. those are this just variables for them. and now they use a cynicism, nizer mean of implementing their policy. you recently testified at the un describe your experience and doing so and do you think you succeeded in conveying to a large audience what you described? well, i mean facts, i'm stubborn, and i whether it's a meal and my colleagues and all the people who came before or not the area format . it's an accumulation of facts which shaw consistence systematic. but we're dealing with a problem dealing bearing on cognitive dissonance in despise. the western states are constant palestine, ministry on foreign affairs has called on the west to pressure israel to stop the demolition of a village east of jerusalem. the cold comes off the residents of our con,
12:16 pm
our amal came out to protest against his demolition village which links the west banks north and south is part of an israeli plan to destroy so called a needle buildings. nicholas could be seen, wave in palestinian flags and voice that anger over the destruction. our people came today to tell nuts in the yahoo then give ear and all the extremist right wing officials that this land is palestinian. we did not allow the destruction of our hon. allah mark. this government led by now and yahoo had been given will go to the dustbins of history, and the palestinian flag will continue to fly on this land. will you will exist on the slam before the israel government came unoccupied? it a message to this railway occupation. we will not leave this place. this is all property and we will remain here. now i am not with we are afraid that al canal archman may be demolished because have been fears, actions. his electoral campaign was to demolish al qaeda al akbar and he is now
12:17 pm
forced to do so that we spoke to the secretary general of the palestinian national initiative party. must have fought by duty. they say the real goal of the current israeli government is to expel palestinians from the land. if i'm kind of not a necessity up out of subject to the process of that being the other name is the government to you. if that happens, this will lead different loan because it will be perceived as an act of beginning the annexation of the ban of the section of the potential being an independent. this is also another act that will give any potential on the so called to sticks. so in my opinion, these are very danger, the facts and this will be stopped immediately and they can be only with the stuff
12:18 pm
on the ground as well as a serious international pressure on israel, threatening with voice divestment, sanction if it does not stop the processes of ethnic cleansing and then but more than that, this is really government includes the people who are described even in israel fashion, the video stream, their goal is really to destroy the potential for being. and they continue to declare that the whole file is fine by the fund is exclusive for jewish people. so practically what, what can be called as jewish supremacy, a system of apartheid and racism. a good thing is that we are good which will not be fulfilled. i hope is to expel from the land and the question, not only, but also to consider life day and i did this and you. why do you stand it? why didn't 55 years of military in the completion of the bank?
12:19 pm
and if you move on them, as well as 75 years of ethnic cleansing, not as soon good faction was used against, allowing it to be above the low above international law. imbued the so i responsibility and so to international law, this has led to the creation of the most extreme versus government in this field, this fusion. and that is one of the direct the results of this international behavior that continues to use double standards when it comes to hosting image. ah, morocco has slammed an e resolution against press freedoms in the country, labeling that is not an acceptable attack on a country sovereignty liberal can parliament has since unanimously decided to we consider its ties with the european legislature and is subject and then to a comprehensive evaluation. busy it let is for the european parliament's recommendation has destroyed levels of trust between morocco and european
12:20 pm
legislative institutions and has profoundly affected the positive progress which took several decades to achieve. the moroccan parliament strongly condemns half fell attempts to harm the countries image and interests and the long standing relations between morocco and the european union. yet, but last thursday, you legislators voted in favor of a non binding resolution calling on the rock and authorities to improve the state of media freedom in the country. the document claimed press rights in the north african kingdom have been continuously deteriorating and went on to call for the fair trial of and prisons. journalists, the, however, one moroccan lawmakers struck back at the european parliament, making mention of a recent karone burning in sweden saying, here is the sort of europe considers freedom of speech. and while other officials noted that rabbit is capable of dealing with its domestic affairs by itself. but the new dean be she dug was strongly condemned this wold and resolution that we are
12:21 pm
a sovereign country and totally capable of defending all nation and enforcing the correct regulations because we are a state of law were totally reject foreign dictations and blush mail. the national where own many count, where fully aware of who stands behind these policies inside the parliament they are the enemy. so for tutorial unity, morocco will continue to achieve growth and stablish true democracy. to discuss this, we cross life, not to morocco based economic consultant and educator. i mean a many thanks for joining us on the program. so let me know what you may call the criticism. name that number. ok, well as you said, the, the green, the, the vote was actually in an interest, lee made the parliament. and actually it's a non binding non biting thing. so it will not go
12:22 pm
to a law and also wanted to largest political groups of the, of the parliament. so the, or the p b is not actually vote. so it's just small politic infections. we're actually building against morocco. and some, some specific countries were against the moroccan territorial integrity. in your opinion, to such occupations bear any weight would be true state of the country's domestic affairs. yes, it actually touches mingles with the sovereignty of the moroccan judicial system. and the cases that the parliament actually discussed, those are cases that have nothing to do with the, with the freedom of speech. those there, the journalists were accused of different crimes crimes that actually spanned from human trafficking. sexual assaults, though it has nothing to do with the freedom of speech. so morocco, as we know,
12:23 pm
responded in times to the accusations what legislation noting the recent koran, burning and sweet. and i think is this what you were p s. consider freedom of speech. what are your thoughts on such blatant duplicity from the e u? well, there is a surprising hate speech in europe, both offline and online. and they think that europe in union actually should take care of its own issues before getting itself involved with other the sovereignty of other countries. and staying on the topic of free speech, of his self as he said, has engaged in extreme media censorship. even though he is a victim of such measures, taking this into account, the european parliament have the moral high ground to criticize others in terms of press freedoms. yeah, for sure. you give you the example of r t r t being censored in many countries in the spring,
12:24 pm
kicked out from many other countries. and the you does not have others. as i said, it should take care of its own issues. hate crime. there is a sharp. ready rising head, right? and there is no legal basis across europe. that's actually the truth, this issue. so i think it should start by a solvent. so it's issues from a saying that these exchanges between moroccan and european parliament is somehow connected to the car gate corruption scandal. do you see any power allows yourself while these attacks actually started the why back let's it's, it was like 5 years ago when morocco actually changed, it stands by actually not accept and by not accepting countries who are not with this morocco and hair. and we're not accepting them are more canditi of this era. so you actually have issues with france and germany. but
12:25 pm
now some of these countries, such as spain and germany, have a clear stance about the moroccan, the integrity, that's totally integrity. but some other countries are still having issues. the cuts are good actually is one of the issues that that was brought up. but there is no evidence that morocco was involved in this. you parliament scam. thanks for joining us on the program. really great. get your thoughts and your insight into the matter. i mean, you can only consultants and educator. thank you. thank you. a wave. all the mass resignations among officials is gripping kiev tuesday through ukraine's deputy prosecutor leave his post. the 1st person of the day, the governors of see me, the new pro, and as i put on kid's song, also left their posts this week, sparking speculations that these resignations could be linked to recent military blunders by the countries. forces ortiz, marina culture of a spoke to us. this is
12:26 pm
a huge shake up for ukraine because we're seeing changes in the government's original authorities, as well as the countries security services. and among the people who last the, like you said, we have a key presidential advisor, the deputy defense minister. there's also the deputy prosecutor general. let's take it a little bit one by one and discuss what some of these people i've been accused of or involved in, for example, the presidential a to relate to motion call. he was implicated and scandals over the use of expensive cars. and one of those cars was apparently a car that was donated to transport civilians out of a combat zone. and then we have all that face. and then for the deputy prosecutor general, he went on a holiday to spain during the winter holidays. and this came out of time when tom government officials are not allowed to travel, leave ukraine, and that also is gonna, when it comes to law enforcement are all included and not list prosecutors as well
12:27 pm
. anyone who works for the states basically was that the reason that he left, we don't know, it wasn't explicitly announced, but this is was all mirrors. lansky had to say about there was shuffling. i want this to be clear. there will be no return to what used to be in the past to the way various people close to stay institutions or those who spent their entire lives chasing a chair used to live. i think law enforcement officers who protect the law, the interests of the state and ensure justice. so we have in some cases in one month and scandals and another cases we have a corruption that will get you out. so marina, what could be the possible reasons for the wave of resignation? theories range from a desperation and disappointments, everything that's happening on the battlefield to corruption. we'll get to corruption in a little bit. the reason why some experts are saying that this may have something to do with how things are going on the battlefield because the ads of 4 regional
12:28 pm
administrations have left and these are front line towns. if we can see the map there, we have it. so the heads of those 4 regions have now gone. we have a sunni separation neutral and chip song on that list. plus, let's don't forget that the lensky on sunday announced that the countries armed forces are building up their reserves. which of course, is a sign that they need more men. the things are not going as well as they thought on the battlefield. that's one of the versions that we're seeing. and now the one is related to corruption, as we know ukraine, that has been on the list of the most corrupt countries in the world in 2021. for example, transparency, international rank, 120 seconds out of $180.00 countries and it's less of corp towns. the cropped states i should say, which is why it's an interest in how we have the united states and the european union send in so much money to ukraine when we know in the past what's happened and
12:29 pm
not only do we know, but just recently what's been happening in the country, some of the corruption scandals that we've seen. let's take it. let's take it step by step. so what mirrors the lansky is saying that he's flights and crops and this is what it's all about spot. if that's the case. why is all like the tar of deputy chief of staff still in his position because he apparently as a symbol of the landscape, approval of corruption or tolerance of corruption, if you will, in the government. he was charged with bribery in 2020. this man's i pity chief of snap, and his case was buried with the help of a protege of the landscape protege who was in the prosecutor's office. so if that's the case, why is he still there? why not the same time? we know that the deputy defense minister is now gone. why is he gone because he oversaw a controversial deal related to food supplies for the military. apparently they use an on known firm to buy food at 3 times the market price. so
12:30 pm
we know what that says, then we have another one of our loads in ski, the infrastructure minister, another corruption scandal, he was fired after he was detained. why police for accepting a bribe worth $400000.00 for help and secure equipment and machinery contracts. so we have a lot of corruption scandals there. we know that the credit is not doing very well on the front line. so is that the case? and also what's interesting is that we're not seeing anything. this mentioned loud statements in mainstream media right now. the headlines are very calm and saying, wallet mirrors, lensky is supposedly dealing with corruption. when we've seen crop people still in charge. keeping this company here, we're not in national, we're back in 30 minutes with more with the the a.
