enemy movable walker, which a system strike on martin and dorothy follows russian troops, a ukrainian military stronghold in a suburb of done yet with a very welcome from all of our team. here in moscow, you're watching the weekly r t international with the latest news updates, along with around the stories that the week it's good to happy with us. now there were being multiple reports of explosions in iran. the country's military military house confirms they want to make some munitions storage facilities was targeted by a drone attack. one of the drones was hit by the air defense and the other 2 were caught in traps and blew up. fortunately, this unsuccessful attack did not cause any loss of life and caused only minor

damage to the workshops roof. around her said the drone attack did not significantly affect any military installation or mission and had no real impact on national security. the government has not disclosed my suspect of being behind the attack. we got the latest details from local journalist. ringback use of july, early on saturday evening, around 11 30 pm local time in iran. a huge blast was heard in the iranian central city of s wrong. apparently in based on reports and military facility belonging to the iranian defense ministry was targeted by 3 small drones. soon after the iranian defense ministry released the statement announcing that the attack was unsuccessful . one of the draws was, was hit by the air defense system built inside that military complex and 2 others were shot down, intercepted and shrugged down before they carry out their strikes. so the iranian

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, there are also reports of a fire breaking out at an oil refinery in the northwest of ron,

because is still unknown. fire fighters have been working to extinguish the and goes to areas. as you can see in the video, we're showing you right now. there is a massive blaze around large cylinders of the plant, viber county or at the oil facility in an area hit by an earthquake around the same time. the earthquake measured it about 5.9 is reported to kill to these 2 people and injured more than 600 others tremors without throughout the region. this is footage of the aftermath in the arabian city of coin. if a turkish buddha, you can see houses destroyed and daybreak in the streets, emergency services have reported power cuts in some of the affected areas where russia's foreign minister said a lot of phase western powers want to maintain the exploitative policies towards africa and a continuation of centuries of plundering the continents resources, he made those remarks of the news conference with his ever train counterpart while

with it to the east african country on a tour of the continent. russia, now american, british, and other european delegations regularly come to africa and very stubbornly demand that african countries stopped cooperating with russia and avoid breaking away from the common agenda which the west seas as the restoration of colonial dependence in a new form. the stablish mint of a multi polar world is an objective, an 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 object, of course, of history that i'm fortunately, the feel we can cut in. can you pang humanity in government? cut the show. i mean, a school properly and this of grade and on the notion that have in godaddy turmoil

in most human setting and pilot for centuries, that has an forbidden your grade. he's. and he says a byproduct of directly for you see ok. germany and containment that they have put, pursued in the past decade during his trip to eritrea, the gala from also visited a monument to classic russian poet, alexander pushkin, russia foreign ministry spokesman maria the however underlined africa positive attitude to the world. renowned white as legacy shows, i criticize the ukraine for demolishing some historical russian monuments. i think a lot for finishes is to a several african countries on t correspondent, catholic on the side, the thumbs up behind. i said gay loves visits to africa. seems to have been a successful one with the russian foreign minister meeting with leaders from

several african countries, as lever off 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 may limited, but in children, 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, and girl dates back to when and good as ruling party, the m p l, 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 goldens of the strides they have made thus far. and good skill rhodes, low earth symbol, the goal and people know the price of gaily independence. they know the price of gaining the opportunity to exercise their rights, cultural, traditional and political so. 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 its like dealing out. the last absolute monarchy in africa is contending with social, political issues that have 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 me the ability to see 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 the south african count apartment as the lady pendle, hosted him in the 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 they interest a bit to served, aligning with washington on political and financial issues, which was for him, it was removed from our countries are consistent supporters of a more just to 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 states. fresh and foreign minister sergey leverage. a final stop was a surprise visit to retrieve and the horn of africa with him saying russia is looking into the enhancement of logistical infrastructure in the country. with humor lam 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, our airport is of interest for its transit capabilities. slave. rob's 2nd visit to africa interest 6 months,

seems to have the men to 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 summits that will take place in saint petersburg in july, which will focus on 4 major issues, food and images, security, technology and health care that will innovate these relations into action plan. 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 out put all the commodity within the next 2 years. the country president cut the ceremonial ribbon at the king fisher fields being built in collaboration with the china, a national offshore oil company. it's a places the done. the president obtained a permit to build a crude oil pipeline to export the commodity to wells market. the new fields development comes 17 years, also lucrative oil resources were discovered in the nation,

and 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 says that africa energy sector. it's becoming more independent from external power due to the past, almost 2 decades, they've been trying to explore and to bring its oil resolves into operation into exported to their what we have also to keep an eye on collaborating with partners who have the interest for us but also we cannot escape the fact that africa has yet to develop national capacity to explore these resources on its own. basically, we see you got to reap almost 6900000000 of revenue by exporting. while so this money could ramp up in case and as i said earlier, we expect you guys to at least explore, to foot almost $40.00 bearable worldwide day. and this is not only success story

for the quantity, but also it's a key lesson that the energy sector can be explored and it can be brought to light . when africa become c, as in its good, see if whats mitzo that it becomes energy independent. now looking at the ukraine conflict this week, has seen russian troops strengthen their positions in a don. yes republic including an advance on the town of martin as a suburb of the city of don yeske. since 2014, it's been a strong hold for ukrainian forces. and he's my dancy, i witnessed intense firefights in the area. ah, that was an enemy. multiple rocket launcher systems strike on might income. and that is exactly where we're heading. wow. or 24 hours in mud,

inca began now here of flashlights. ease timeout to suicide. slowly, half blind. we stumbled to our temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we are 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 marrying 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. ah! a deafening coffee of blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours 3 says, i a view of the battle grow.

this. the ty area covered in smoke is where ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currenty russian artillery of old frogs 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 on the russian control, ukraine, and that supporters, they publicly admit now, were never serious about peace stokes. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned might inca into

a modern day fortress, almost impregnable, almost whoa. is would to use russian suit $25.00 clo support, cuz ground supported croft coming in very low flooring there and guided munitions rockets and getting out before you gradient at defense. us have a child protestant the lock on an lodge 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 might inca, but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken from us. a 3rd only

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 bigger incense, isn't that 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 oh, a round. might inca artillery is everywhere. these automatic mine launcher the vice shall, york is a feared thing. ah mighty

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 pall thousands of its troops on to the power to hold halter mighty inca, which may well be an approximation of hell. for i'd guess the of our t from might inca oh. as part of a coordinated effort for less reliance on the us dollar, the south american nations of argentina and brazil are in discussions to establish a shad currency. a finance ministers each with their own economic team can make us a proposal for foreign trade and transactions between the 2 countries. this 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 as the plan,

the wheel and the pay. so would continue to exist with a new tender establish purely for trade. a regional unit of account would come alongside extra credit to support exposed to origin. tina 3 brazilian banks. as of now, the new currency has no name old deadline and would not speak a eurostar monetary 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 caribbean states and other world powers such as china, india, and the african union. last year were y entered into for more negotiations for a free trade agreement with china recently advancing and talk to form a new partnership. we heard from latin american on caribbean studies, professor daniel shaw. he's a new currency, could lead to the end of a century long dependency on the us dollar. think it's important to remember that

both scenarios, 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 all 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 are thoroughly distorted through how many years of oppression and exploitation we importance of the seward of a united south american currency is the idea of integration among the southern exploding 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 u. s. unipolar model. washington has declined to

comment about whether ammunition is supplied to ukraine includes depleted uranium. russia has warned that if the west is actually providing any kind of uranium armament, it could be considered a dirty bomb, where the west responsible for the ceiling consequences. i was, he correspondence, steve sweeney, has the story. ukraine could be set to receive deadly radio at to weapons in the west. as part of the latest surge of weaponry in the nighttime proxy war and russia . moscow says it would consider such munitions, a dirty bomb, warning, western sponsors of calves war machine against encouraging nuclear provocations of black bough while promising a severe response. we know that lipper 2 tanks, as well as bradley and martyr armored fighting vehicles can use depleted uranium shells, which can contaminate terrain just like it happened in yugoslavia and iraq. if kia were to be supplied with such munitions for the use in western heavy military

hardware, we would regard it as the use of dirty and clear bombs against russia. with all the consequences that entails washington has refused the rule out supplying care with depleted uranium. as part of its tank in a package speaking during a white house press conference, an unnamed senior government official wouldn't be drawn on the issue as the reporter noted, firing these radioactive rounds is part of what makes them the tank killer. that pentagon officials called them the administration official who responded declined to answer, saying, i'm not going to get into the technical specifics depleted uranium is exceptionally hauled and is able to penetrate alma targets and to reinforce that potential targets like tanks against that and we fire. but it is also i toxic radioactive hazard. nato's use of depleted uranium during the military alliance is 1999 on baldwin of yugoslavia. so thousands poisoned with many dying from cancer and other were like to health issues leading to the alliance,

being sued by serving the survivors. i'm italian soldiers deployed there, of which nearly $400.00 have died. and 7500 having poisoned by depleted uranium is youth in the iraqi town of fallujah left a toxic legacy. children born with birth defects, a spike in conscious diseases and miscarriages. official iraqi government statistics show that prior to the outbreak of the 1st gulf war in 1991, the rate of cancer cases in iraq was 40 out of 100000 people. by 1995, it had increased to 800 out of 100000 people. yet, despite this nice ho, britain on the united states have lobbied hard for the continued use of depleted uranium on the battlefield. nato's decision for an information offensive was reached at a meeting today by ambassadors of nato's 19 member states. participants described the talks is unusually stormy. please from italy, germany,

greece in norway for the western military alliance to take the munitions out of its arsenals, were firmly rejected by the united states. britain and france. legally, except the plaintiff, he righty been conflict is a grey area and not covered by conventions or treaties that restrict the use of chemical or nuclear weapons. but britain in the u. s. remain the only nations to have admitted to using depleted uranium in conflict and would clearly see no objection to the use of the deadly weapon and ukraine. buquet policy is that depleted uranium. munitions can be used in weapons because it would be wrong to deny our armed forces illegitimate in effect of capability that can help them achieve their objectives as quickly and safely as possible. claims of serious health and environmental effects by very small number of people attract media attention, but are disputed by most scientists and international agencies. whether other countries use do munitions or not as a matter for them. on the tongue being sent to crying, but leopard, the bradley fighting vehicle, the abrams on the challenger to oh,

capable of firing the deadly payload. it seems, washington could deploy the same tactics in ukraine. i'm to hell with the consequences. many thanks for joining us. hey arty international, this sunday for the latest updates. keep an eye on our website, r t dot com. we'll get back with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on, often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see

how that strategy will be successfully, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk ah, through if cynthia gorda is thrown in the old hon nissan or force a federal spoken wisconsin. the last bonds have to deal with idealists. we sprung from kaiser hours from them to do it. in bt dufrane, you get kicked away in the poly teachers kills on the edge. it's on the brown asia the or was to live it. i'm done with this in a little bulk. um yeah, the crucial chest middle school is all sweetness. wookey bone is not good p t d still not what you could eat with the leukemia. well, they need to live up sheet. any video picks that will be a good, good or september,

because i know grossi should be missed misleading to the middle south, and you can give us the opportunity as opposed to local miss nancy, this material, but it was just put, even though so great, you should update those little bit misty locally. that doesn't help out with them. yeah. be it to me she go. she returned with a note up there. numerous maritsa to you know, still is emotional specially to renew the lease is up to engine. you took a little of doing piecemeal. mm ah, ah mm. mm

mm. mm mm. welcome to wells apart. over the decades many words have been written about the nature of the russian tricky relationship, but perhaps one words would be enough to describe it. paradoxical on the one hand, turkey supplies weapons to your brain, but on the other hand, it's trade including war, inspire, trade with russia is booming. turkey is a member, but it also purchased a russian made air defense systems. what's behind these geopolitical versatility? well, to discuss it now and join from anchor i by to door an, an assistant professor and the department of international relations and go can't university professor and it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for time. it's a pleasure to be on the ocean. 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. you know which way nursing is leaning. i don't necessarily think, but there's a huge change because, you know, a sense of this war has started. we are in the weight, the weight, and we are waiting to see what the balance on the battlefield. now the way i see this can play about both ways, or perhaps, you know, the one that you know corresponds mostly to wishful thinking on both sides is the straight victory. and the other side simply decides to concede. it froze in the tower, but far more likely possibility is so for a bird full scale makes to develop between the 2 sides. so you don't all have a key or we narrow your loser and you reach the point where, you know, the countries decide that they have enough and they'd like to.
