ah, ah ah, multiple explosions reported in iraq, where the country's defense ministry confirming its managed to ward a drone attack on an ammunition depot. american, british and other european delegation demand that african countries stop 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 that russia is. a foreign minister condemns western countries for what he calls. it tends to recall the lies, africa, and pressure it to separate relations with moscow.

who's an enemy multiple raw could launch a system strike on monday. and he follows our russian troops in that fierce battle for ukrainian military stronghold this in a suburb of don. yes, ah, well, it's a great to have your company for the weekly here with our team international. although fair to say the weeks to highlight to being upstaged by this i was at mine . so looking to been happy in a multiple reports of explosions in iran, and the country's military has confirmed that one of its ammunition storage facilities was targeted in 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. iran has said the attack did not significantly affect any military facilities and had no real impact on national security. the government has not commented on who had suspects of being behind the attack. though we got some details from a local john list. his yusef july me on saturday evening, around 11 30 pm local time in iran. a huge blast was heard in the iranian central city are based on apparently and based on reports and military facility belonging to the iranian defense ministry was targeted by 3 small drones. soon after the running 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. i'll be use it and, 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 the iranian defense industry will announce later during gets investigation of the problem of the incident. well, i mean, while there are reports of a fire breaking out at an oil refinery in the north west of iran,

and while the cause is still unknown, firefighters have been working hard to extinguish the blake. you can see the pictures, right, that much of the personnel trying to contain the fire near looks like a enormous storage silos at the plot. gotta be dangerous. the all facility is near an area that was also hit by an earthquake that happened right around the in time that fire broke out. in fact, we can tell you the earthquake measured 5.9. it's reported to have killed at least 3 people that injured more than 800 tremors were felt all across the region. you can see, and it's for the chair some of the aftermath and the iranian city of koya. it's very close to the turkish border with some of the houses destroyed there and deborah, on the streets emergency services had reported a power outages in that area. we heard from professor site mohammed mirandi of the university of tara, and he says that, well, despite the damage on the clear loss of life, iranians will not be expecting an outpouring of global support or even any offers of humanitarian aid. western countries are sanctioning ordinary ronnie, they,

they've imposed massive pressure sanctions on iran for a decade. its maximum pressure because they cannot do more to harvey. right? if they're doing as much as possible to, to kill ordinary iranians to create a lack of medicine, to destroy jobs, to destroy families. so western countries have no intention of giving any real humanitarian assistance to anyone. if they stop killing people or harming people that would be more than enough. re running the rushes of foreign minister sort of law for off sets at western powers. want to maintain the exploitive policies of africa and plunder the continents resource as well. he made those remarks alongside his at a cray and counterpart while visiting the east african nation. this on a tour of the entire continent, rocky in 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 fuel, the fuel. we can cut in, can you pang humanity in got rid of it? got to so i mean a school proper and piss of grief and dummy notion that have indicated turmoil a most human savaging and pilot for centuries that has an forbidden ukraine.

he's in, he says, a byproduct of directly for you see ok. germany and containment that they had put, pursued in their fast the case. but during his trip to at italia, so he left roberto visited a monument, a classic russian poet alexander, to pushkin, rushes for ministry. spokeswoman maria, a hot over on the line africa's positive attitude to the world renown writers legacy. and she also criticized ukraine for demolishing some historical russian monuments as a level of finishes, his tour of several african countries. artie correspondent of capitalism so more sums up some of the highlights said gala, from visits to africa, seems to have been a successful one with the russian foreign minister meeting with leaders from several african countries. as leverage expressed to russia, it meant 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 each of them 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 impale, 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. un gorski rhodes lo, single, the angolan people know the price of gaining independence. they know the price of gaining the opportunity to exercise their rights. cultural, traditional and political. 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 is 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 south african counterpart minister and 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 their interests a bit to served, aligning with washington on political and financial issues, which was the room,

it was to be a booth. and 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 reach her 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. lev, rob's 2nd visit to africa interest 6 months seems to have the man to ties with some of the southern and eastern regional nations on the continent. while them mister described to africa as a rich continent was 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 the home so me for our t, johannesburg. elsewhere in the east of africa, uganda has begun drilling its 1st oil well with the goal of pumping out the black gold within the next couple of years of the countries president cut the ceremonial ribbon at the king fisher field that is being built in collaboration with china, this comes off of you again, don't government obtained a permit to build a crude oil pipeline to export the commodity worldwide. and then you feel developed comes off to 17 years since the lucrative all resources were discovered. there. we understand an estimated $40000.00 barrels of oil per day are expected to be produced according to the country's oil regulator. and we heard from an economic expert who says that african energy sector is slowly becoming more independent due

to the past almost 2 decades. gand i've been trying to explore and to bring its oil resolve into operation into exported to the what we have also to keep an eye on collaborating with partners who have the interest for us. but also, we cannot escape the funds 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 rump operate in cation is a failure, we expect you guys to at least explore, to, for almost $40.00 bearable worldwide day. and this is not only for christ story for the quantitative, 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 it's in the middle of that,

it becomes energy independence. or let's get that straight to the ukraine conflict . now as we understand this week, as seen, russian troops ultimately strengthening that positions in a don. yes. script public, including an advance on the town of modern income for suburb the city of don't yet, consulting at laguna stronghold for ukrainian forces. since 2014, our senior correspondent morale got the witness. intense firefights in that area. ah, that was an enemy multiple rocket launcher systems strike. one might ink. that is exactly where we're heading. oh, our 24 hours in mud anchor began now. here, a flashlights ease timed him out to suicide. slowly, half blind,

we stumbled to our temporary refuge. this is the bunker where we are spending the night here in mud, in co, relatively relatively safe. the previous occupants here were ukrainian troops who were literally, as you can tell by the wolves burned out of here. but this is also the answer as to why the battle for martin ca, 5 j kapinsky. why these battles the 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 president, downstairs was a nom, store, and a 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 as here. cool,

an approximation of hell with a deafening company of blasts and explosions, pure and utter violence. without end all of this footage, we filmed in mere hours ah, the more from a view of the battle ground or with the ty area covered in smoke,

he's way ukrainian positions up to 300 meters away from us. currently, russian artillery of old sites and colors more does houses was air craft tanks ah ah, the she hel, ukrainian, or you credit troops. the battle for might inca has dragged on for almost a year. most of it is now under russian control ukraine, and that supporters, they publicly admit. now we're never serious about peace stokes. it was cover, they spent 8 years preparing for war. they turned my income into a modern day fortress, almost impregnable. almost whoa

. is with choose russian to suit $25.00 close support to close ground support their craft coming in very low flooring there and guided munitions rockets and getting out before you gradient and defenses. have a chance to transfer the lock on an lodge who's 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 anchor, but there is little doubt that the city will soon be taken as necessarily, 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 digging said if it were pushing, but there are difficulties. the enemies resisting and digging in their fighting for every house, but were pushing them back and advancing. ah heard a round mud, inca artillery is everywhere. lease automatic mind launcher. the vice shall yoke, as if he had thing, ah, muddy nga 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 pile. to hold haul tomatti anchor, which may well be an approximation of hail. more ad gazda of r t from modica. it's could have your company for that program here lie from moscow now as part of a coordinated effort to move away from that of the u. s. dollar the south american nations of both argentina and brazil are in told to establish that of a shed currency of finance ministers. each with our 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 report. so the new trading currency between brazil and argentina is designed to reduce reliance on the greenback under the plan, the re owl, and the pay. so would continue to exist. but

a new tender mechanism would be established for bilateral trade. as of now, the new car, which he has no division of name or even timelines report say, it would not be a euro style monetary unification. meanwhile, uruguayan 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 urge the promotion of a free trade zone between the community of latin american and caribbean states and other world powers such as china, india, and the african union. last year, a year ago, i entered into formal negotiations for a free trade agreement with china recently advancing and talked to form that brand new partnership. we did hear from latin american studies professor daniel shore, who starts the new currency will be a game changer. developing nations are continue to move away from that of the toner . 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 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. and new colonialism is no easy feat. economies thoroughly distorted to how many years of oppression and exploitation the importance of the suit 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 it's supplying to

ukraine includes depleted uranium. a russia has one that if the west provides any kind of such weapons, it would be considered that of a dirty bomb. the west responsible for the ensuing consequences. arthur correspondent steep sweeney shed some light ukraine could be set to receive deadly radio out 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 bile. while promising a severe response, we know that lipper 2 tanks, as well as bradley and martyr armored fighting vehicles can use to pleaded 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 regarded as the use of dirty and clear bombs against russia. with all the consequences that entails washington has refused to 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 their potential targets like tanks against that and we fire. but it is also i toxic radioactive hazard, naxos use of depleted uranium during the military alliance is 1999 on baldwin of yugoslavia. so thousands poisoned with many dying from cancer and other related

health issues leading to the alliance, being sued by, by serving the survivors and italian soldiers deployed there, of which nearly 400 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 as 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 995, it had increased to 800 out of 100000 people. yet despite this nice ho, britain and the united states have lobbied hauled 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, you said 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 tanks being sent to ukraine. 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 and ukraine on to hell with the consequences. with i to joining us here for the sunday weekly program on odds. he international doubt fair to say, i should admit that the big headlines of the past 24 hours up staging the whole week of news. a lot of stories to day all this sunday. appreciate your company, we return at the top of the hour. ah, ah, ah.

at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from great pains whose with we will bring to the iraqi people, food and medicines, and supplies. and freedom with

with i was standing in an alley smoking a joint one day and a man came up to me and pulled the joint from my mouth and he said, don't you know that that's what the capitalists and the jews want you to do. we were violent towards those people because we believe that were the superior race.

we were here 1st and this is our pantry, guns, ammo, still tow doc martens, tattooing violence or just prerequisite to enter or exit 40 walked off like i could see this looking space fear like he feared me being part of that movement. i got to feel a sense of power. when i felt powerless, i got attention when i felt invisible and accepted when i felt that we had a strategy, we wanted to clean our image up and make our message more palatable to the masses. don't get tattoos don't shave your head, don't get arrested. go to college, join the military, keep your head down. go mainstream.
