defense ministry says that that attack was unsuccessful with no casualties. only there was a minor damage to the ceiling of that military complex. so now the defense ministry is investigating the cause of the incident. and the elements behind that air raid against its military complex. there are some unconfirmed reports by some unofficial news sources, claiming that there was a similar attack taking place in the capital one as well. and those reports have not been confirmed by the iranian defense ministry. so we still need to wait and see what they are wanting. defense industry will announce later during gets investigation of the problem of the incident. meanwhile, the also reports of fire breaking out an oil refinery in the north west,

around the cause is still on fire. fire has not been working to extinguish the and dove to areas, as you can see in the video, was showing you right now. there was a massive blaze around large cylinders and applause, though there was no word on whether there is a link the fiber accounts that the oil facility near the area hit by an earthquake around the same time of the earthquake measured it. a magnitude of 5.9 is reported to have killed at least 2 people and injured more than 600 others tremors without throughout the region. this is for the footage from the aftermath and the irradiance. if you have coin the turkish border, you can see houses destroyed and daybreak in the streets. emergency services have reported power cuts in some of the affected areas, rushes foreign minister, so gay landra said western powers want to maintain the exploitative policies towards africa and a continuation of centuries of plundering the continents resources. he made those

remarks the news conference with his ever tray and towns apart while visiting the east african country on a tool of the continent. a american, british, and other european delegations regularly come to africa and very stubbornly demand that african countries stop cooperating with russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda for which the west seas as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form. the establishment of a multi polar world is an objective and unstoppable process. however, the collective west, the united states, nato, and the e. u, which are completely under washington's control, are trying to reverse this, but their efforts are futile. the most the can count on is some slight inhibition of the objective course of history that i'm fortunately, the feel of the feel we can cut in. can you pang humanity in got rid of it? got to so i mean

a school proponent piece of greed and domain notion that have in godaddy turmoil in most human savvy and bailey, for centuries, that as an forbidden ukraine, e. m e n a byproduct of directly policy ok, germany and containment that they have put, pursued in the past decade during his trip to eritrea. sir, gala rav also visited a monument to classic russian poet, alexander, pushkin, rushes at foreign ministry, spokeswoman marie of the her over and aligned african positive attitude to the world. renowned right as legacy. she also criticized ukraine for demolishing some historical russian monuments. a 2nd lateral finishes his tore of several african countries. artie correspondent, cut lego mas so me sums up highlights. sergey love. rob's visit to

africa seems to have been a successful one. with the russian foreign minister, meeting with leaders from several african countries as leverage, expressed russia's commitment to deepening its ties with africa and offered to provide assistance in areas such as energy, infrastructure and investment. the visit was seen as a sign of russia's growing presence in the continent and its willingness to work with african countries movement to lou. but in the we are line priorities for business ties and mining exploration energy in agriculture, including deliveries of russian grain, as well as modern areas of collaboration, information and communications technologies and the digital economy. one of the countries visited was angola in 2019 russia and angola signed an agreement to expand co operation, the energy sector, including the construction of a nuclear power plant. but the bond between moscow and ungodly dates back to wind and good as ruling party, the imperial,

a sort support from the soviet union during the civil war against the portuguese. now, during his visit, leverage drew parallels between the angolan war and the ukraine conflict. further reminding and guidance of these strides they have made thus far on good skilled slopes symbol, the goal and people know the price of gaining independence. they know the price of gaining the opportunity to exercise their rights called rural traditional and political. so you are also actively contributing to the fair regulation of various conflicts in your region, both through the african union and within the framework of sub regional associations. you are making a significant contribution to the mitigation of crises and to the peacekeeping efforts of african countries leverage. the other stop on his african tour was to the land locked kingdom of islam dealing out. the last, absolute monarchy in africa is contending with social political issues. that if

thrust the country into deepening economic struggles, and sporadic protests that have led to a volatile situation in the region and moscow's top diplomat had something to offer, move the go to this would know we agreed during a meeting with the military leadership to increase security cooperation, we have existing inter governmental agreements on military and defense industry collaboration. there are working groups and we are ready to consider applications from our s, what teeny friends on any issues that need to be resolved to ensure this country security. now leverage south african counterpart minister now lady pendle, hosted him in any capital city of pretoria after he received a very warm welcome from south african military officials. this visit also comes at a time when south africa has been criticized for an upcoming naval exercise with russia and china. this to the waste seems to be a reminder of the entrenched relationships. many countries have on the continent

with russia and china. it also highlights the difficulty the u. s. faces globally in persuading countries that their interests a better served, aligning with washington on political and financial issues, which was thermal muscular booth. and our countries are consistent supporters of a more just inclusive democratic and poly centric architecture. for the world order, which would rely on the main principal of the un charter, respect for the sovereign equality of all stay, its russian foreign minister, sergey loves. a final stop, was a surprise visit to retreat. and the horn of africa with him seeing russia is looking into the enhancement of logistical infrastructure in the country with humor brown of, among the long term plans that are to be worked out in detail. i would like to mention the possibility of utilizing the logistical potential of the port masala and the airport. the massage were airport is of interest for its transit capabilities. leverage,

2nd visit to africa in just 6 months. seems to have cemented ties with some of the southern and eastern regional nations on the continent. while the minister described africa as a rich continent with colossal potential. it is the russia africa summit that will take place in saint petersburg in july, which will focus on 4 major issues, food and energy security, technology and health care that will elevate these relations into action plans. that tom saw me for archie, johannesburg. elsewhere in eastern africa, uganda has begun drilling for its 1st oil well with a goal of commencing outpost of the commodity. within the next 2 years. the country is president, cut the ceremonial ribbon at the king fisher field, being built in collaboration with the china national offshore oil company. it took place as the ugandan government obtained a permit to build a crude oil pipeline to export the commodity to world markets. the new field

development comes 17 years after lucrative oil resources were discovered in the nation. the estimated $40000.00 barrels of oil per day are expected to be produced according to the countries oil regulator. we heard from an economic expert who stays at africa, the energy sector is becoming more independent from external powers. due to the past, almost 2 decades, uganda i've been trying to explore and to bring its oil reserve into operation into exported to the what we have also to keep an eye on collaborating with partners who have would be interest for us. but also we cannot escape the fact that africa has yet to develop his national capacity to explore these resources on its own. basically, we see uganda to reap almost 6.9, billions of revenue by exporting. well, so this money would ramp up in case and as a said earlier, we expect you guys, i am told to at least explorer sport,

almost 40 borrowed world i day. and this is not only success story from the quantitative, but also the key lesson that the energy sector can be explored. and it can be brought a line of when africa become c, as in it puts it if it's meant for that it becomes energy independent. now looking at the ukraine conflicts this week, has seen russian troops strengthen their positions and the don't yet to a public, including an advance on the town of martin car. as a suburb of the city of don yeske. since 2014 has been a strong hold for ukrainian forces ortiz, mark anthea witnessed intense firefights in the area. ah, that was an enemy multiple rocket launcher systems strike on my income. and that is exactly where we're heading.

want 24 hours in mud, inca began. now, here, a flashlight ease, time him out to suicide. slowly, half blind. we stumbled to our temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we're spending the night here in modern co, relatively relatively safe. the previous occupants here were ukrainian troops who were literally, as you can tell by the wools burned out of here. but this is also the answer as to why the battle for martin ca 5 gave kapinsky. why these battles are taking so long . and that is because these bunkers are everywhere built over the last 8 years by the ukrainian military. built in completely nondescript places above us. this is just a small family whom a private residence of downstairs was unarmed store and the barracks for ukrainian

soldiers. power is rationed. food, water, ammo, and fuel. i carried 4 miles before they get here. nothing is wasted. in the early hours of the morning we woke up to what fight is here. cool. an approximation of hell. a deafening coffee of blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours thing, says,

i a view of the battle grow. with this, the tie area covered in smoke is where ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currently, russian artillery old shots and colors more. does houses, fuzz and crop tanks. ah ah, the she held on ukrainian ru credit troops. the battle for monica has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control. ukraine and its supporters,

they publicly admit. now we're never serious about p stokes. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned modica into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable, almost or age would choose russian to $25.00, close support to close ground, supported croft coming in very low flooring there and guided munitions rockets and getting out before you gradient at the feds. us have a child protestant with the lock on an lodge. hm . day by day, month after month, russian troops have demolished ukrainian fortifications. here here has said

thousands of drafted troops into the meat grinder to hold my tinker. but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us as certainly frankly, this is unpleasant for us destroying these buildings. the city, it hurts our souls, but we have no choice. this is our land. the enemy has thrown its reserves at marin county. they use their troops as cannon fodder. they plug any holes with corpses of their own soldiers. they spare no lives. no big concern is we're pushing but there are difficulties. the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but we're pushing them back and advancing. ah, her a round might inca artillery is everywhere. these automatic mind launcher, the vice shall yoke is a feared thing. ah,

i'd with muddy anger is strategically vital. it is a gateway to that yet. if you crane loses it, it will be a devastating blow to morale. both civilian and military. kiev understands this, and it is willing to pile thousands of its troops on to the pile, to hold halter might inca, which may well be an approximation of hell. or i'd get the of r t from adding us president joe biden's decision to send 31, a browns. battle tanks to ukraine. isn't winning universal backing in congress? republican lawmakers. paul gus are released to this statement speak now again. such supplies. going to give joe biden's decision to send american tanks to ukraine brings us one step closer to dragging america directly into

a massive global war. america should not send any tanks to ukraine for any war material at all, or helped to prolong a needless war and adding to the body count. despite the promise of the tanks, they believe they could still be months before they are delivered. pentagon officials said the advance, the military vehicles will require a lend fee training program to keep them maintained. that us also say logistical supplies for the tax will be complex and take time to sort out. however, ukraine's president has said, washington lux time to supply the heavy weaponry. while moscow has condemned the decision of the binding administration, saying it would make the us directly involved in the complex us space international attorney kline preston say that washington is already directly involved in the conflict and sending the tungsten k f would only enhance the commitments. now that the republicans are in the majority in the house and hopefully we can have some sane decisions made with respect to this conflict so

that it doesn't turn into world war 3, which it appears to be doing. as we sit here, i think the livery the tanks change the dynamics of the united states is involved in this conflict and pushes us closer to the red line. the, the kremlin is spoken of and very well may change the relationship of the united states to russia. with respect to this conflict, because you know, at some point our country becomes less of an 8 or, or a better ukraine and more of a, an active participant. and that is really the dangerous step with the supply of these abrams tanks. kitt's 4th is, are fighting and alignment with anti russian narratives. pushed by ukraine's

president lensky. but the prominent opposition politician victim edward church thinks there are many ukrainians who don't support the conflicts, but are afraid to raise their voices. he made those comments in an interview with t. it wasn't supposed to parents in international media since he was freed and a prisoner swap between moscow and camp in september. he said his views about the future of ukraine and this relations with the washer, against the backdrop of western interference. while the war is being waged in ukraine, this war is not for ukraine. but in the interest of the west, the u. s. the u. k. and many other countries which are settling the schools with russia, they have major crating of the war under zalinski government, a kind of testing ground, or a launch part in a standoff with russia. and so have spent all these months putting a team back together. a lot of people came from care villainy is many people who are outside ukraine in russia, europe, the poly will turkey,

them. they are ready to continue to fight and have their say, give me samples i. that's exactly what i laid out in my article concerning the situation which is unfolded. i make the case for the voice of another ukraine to be heard in russia, ukraine, and the west. and we know for sure there is another ukraine zalinski claim to represent the united nation. but that is a myth invented out of thin air. this unity has been built on pioneers, he represent ukraine, claiming the craning people who come together and stand strong in the anti russian narrative. and robert ross, a phobia. this is not true. apart from the anti russian voice, there are people in ukraine who are afraid to talk about it publicly, but have never supported the nature and dynamic of the relationship between ukraine of russia that has emerged to day these people ukrainians. just like me, i believe it is a direct violation of the constitution and to deprive me of my ukrainian

citizenship. and it's not just my opinion. it is impossible to deprive a citizen of ukraine of his citizenship except in the event of a voluntary request. it contradicts not only the constitution green, but it also contradicts an international convention which forbids such an act if a person is left stateless as a result for yeah, if she doesn't, ukraine is signed up to this international convention. they, despite this at the lens, he continues his efforts to crush his political opponents through political repressions and a legal criminal prosecution. it really, it is a goal that he has set for himself and he's pushing towards it on his graph. the same goes for everything as part of a coordinated effort for less reliance on the us dollar. the south american nations avant and senior and brazil are in discussions to establish a share currency of finance ministers. each with their own economic team can make

us a proposal for foreign trade and transactions between the 2 countries that's done in a common currency. according to reports, the new trading currency between brazil and argentina would be to reduce their reliance on the us dollar. under the plan, the re out on the pay so would continue to exist with a new tend to establish purely if a trade a regional unit of account would come alongside the extra credit to support exports . to watch and tina, 3 brazilian banks. as of now, the new currency has no name or deadline and would no seek a you are a style military unification. meanwhile, you require the president has said his country needs to open up its economy to the world and discuss parallel trade arrangements outside of latin america. he's the promotion of a free trade zone between the community of latin american and caribbean states and the other world powers, such as china, india, on the african union. now, you recall, i entered into a formal negotiation for a free trade agreement with china recently advancing and talked to form

a new partnership. we heard from latin american caribbean studies, professor daniel sure, he said the new currency could lead to the end of a century long dependency on the u. s. dollar. think it's important to remember that both scenario, the key pillar of his power was that he was securely in the u. s. sphere of influence. and here we have a ruler who represents a new type of vanguard in terms of international relations, financial, brazil, but out of south america, this is no easy project to undo centuries and centuries of colonialism and decades and decades of dollars dependency in new york colonialism is no easy feat, economies thoroughly distorted through how many years of oppression and exploitation the importance of the seward of a united south american currency is the idea of integration among the southern exploiting countries in the end to these centuries long dependency on the dollar.

so i think there's a lot of promising signs for the economies of the global south. and this of course, will be the death knell of the us unipolar model. many, thanks for keeping us company here on our t international. what it back in just about 30 minutes with ah,

with ah mm mm. mm.

mm, mm. welcome to wells apart. over the decades, many wars have been written about the nature of the russia tricky relationship, but perhaps one words would be enough to describe it. paradoxical on the one hand, turkey supplies weapons to ukraine, but on the other hand, it's trade including war, inspire, trade with russia is booming. turkey is, and they don't remember, but it also purchased russian made air defense systems. what's behind these geopolitical versatility? well, to discuss it now and join from anchor i by to door, i'm an assistant professor and the department of international relations and bo county university. professor arnett is great to talk to you. thank you very much for time. it's a pleasure to be on your show. now, over the last couple of weeks, we've heard the number of western officials warned, and the course of the ukrainian war may be changed dramatically if not decided altogether within a coming weeks and months. so which way do you think it's leaning?

i don't necessarily think there's a huge change because, you know, a sense of this war has started. we all read the weight, the weight, and we are waiting to, to see what's the problem on the battlefield. now the way i see this good play about bird weight, or perhaps, you know, the one that you know correspond supposedly to wishful thinking on both sides is the straight victory. and the other side simply decides to concede. it froze in the tower. but i'm far more likely, possibility is flora bert flow spell made to develop between the 2 sides. so you don't all have a clear winner, oak your loser. and you reached the point where, you know the countries the side that they have enough and they will like to see it for negotiation. probably this is the most likely scenario, but there is also the possibility. and this is probably the most worrisome.
