now a a a, this, our senior us diplomats involve from a trip to asia during which she is expected to take issue at russia substantial export of world on india. as india reiterate, it ties with russia are this with the signs a gas deal with billions of the euros with the north african nation of libya. it has no intention to have a quote, ready to roll in the region. but there is considerable mistrust among local, rather than most other the europeans care about their own interest. first,

they don't care about us. they only want oil and gas, but we need investment. when you occupied us, you left nothing. and after all those years, they want us to think that they care about us know about the nation of them by way, gets a significant economy, boost from trade with china. despite crippling west, in fact, odyssey has involved ways, information minister about the possible motivation of those and western policy. we're, i'm the, with an attack for being a standalone analysis that i wanted to can a welcome to international broadcasting life from my, my mommy and it's great to have you with us. let's take a look at today's top sort of senior us to provide victorian newland hi,

also fixing quote dependencies. i'm vanderbilt disease in india's relationship with russia. the u. s. i'm the secretary of state made those comments. i see in balsam a week long tour of asia and the middle east with india, one of the destinations. she's scheduled to arrive in india on monday evening as well as live now to see the india correspondent ruined and sharma and you don't need to discuss the details running late to see. now newlands visit comes off the months of us still with india about the fast asian countries purchases of russian oil. and i'm surprised. what exactly is newton expected to do on a trip? well over tauriel new linda will be in new delhi in the evening today. and she is expected to leads the us india annual for us office consultations, which is going to cover a wide range of issues including bilateral and global issues. so the statement that

she's made is just before her wizard to india, saying that the u. s. wants to help india lean away from russian arms and oil. the question is that does in there really need this help and a little background here and f i, i for ms. newland that india has had any difficulty. that's good to see the united states. and that's the reason that india had given to defy the western sanctions again, law school and to continue to jory oil from moscow. that is, that uni latrell sanctions in the past have not worked well for india, for instance, united states against iran. now, india's avenues all getting and no g. how will me shrink from when, as well are to iran all on bill sanctions? now, india has been buying discounting oil from mar russia and, and there has been a pretty happy about it. and also very walker about it,

but for some reason the u. s. wants to help india. this is what we told and you had said just before who is it to india? these dependencies that they've created, make them more vulnerable in the case of the oil price campus, you know, which india was quite skeptical of their now major beneficiaries. because the oil that they're buying from russia is, is so much cheaper. and we are now working with them on ways to diversify away from russian, russian weapons. i'll be in india with not just there . so we're not just oil, but also in the spot to ship with more school as far as the military partnership is concerned. and india has been very, very, kill that the reason in their house that's a thriving defense partnership with russia is because of the history that is for decades where they needed help. well, when india needed military equipment,

the west did not supply to india. russia did the end, this timing partnership between new delhi and moscow, and fact has been based on that history as well. now suddenly the u. s. wants to help, but india with deaf weaning away from russian military. but that, in fact is not true because india, very happy with its partnership with my school. in fact, a relationship which is valued by india stock neither ship during this common political journey. the president, putin. i have had the journey of friendship and cooperation between our countries has also moved forward at a very fast pace. president, putin and i have taken this relationship to new heights of cooperation on the basis of trust and partnership. so new delhi, rather happy with it. the defense partnership with russia, in fact,

even as far as oil is concerned, indeed has been very vocal about buying discounts from russia and how it's really suiting the country. so the question is, who's off for the health that the u. s. is offering and need to see the india cause i'm going to show a great to see you will see how that is actually received when she arrives later today will sneak in. no doubt. thanks guarantee. a time we heard from a defense expert and didn't car perry who said the u. s. is unable to tolerate even the middle ground, but india has chosen as a washington twice increase. the pressure on most is also a day will do this within india and the u. s. in terms of in just dance and reaction the war in ukraine. i mean, that's well known in your started as well known the the middle about issue on to call it that it has taken, it has been very well articulated at different levels. this is been ongoing us

or u. s. lead western effort to get for the rest of the major major countries including india and others in the us. yeah. especially on trying to get more countries on board as things get tougher on the west is trying to ramp up regular. sure. in terms of sanctions, if they're giving greater weapons in the background that they would want definitely more pressure on support for their moves. italy has ration $8000000000.00 and then she deal with the north african nation of libya . walden, natal member and former colonial power insisted does not want to have them for the 3 role in the region. local residents have expressed that concerns the memory of nato, bombings of libya over a decade ago. seemed to remain the ever present among the population. will you give

em in? they any welcome. and i thought that we try to make deals with companies from neighboring countries, but in a way that ensures our rights and liberties development. how we know that the bill is our closest neighbor different, but it had a gl, anal history with us, which you know, and they didn't bring us the benefits that they should have brought in the past only for the and almost like the europeans care about their own interests 1st, which they don't care about us. they only want oil and gas, but we need investments. well ladies, yes, ed. this is the policy of european countries like italy and france and blame each other in the media. but behind the since they grew and everything and just divide the wealth from countries among themselves, european countries didn't help soap liberals crisis. they made it even worse. they didn't support a true political solution. they only make statements and nothing else. one law he who will help, we don't want anything from the italians, they should leave us alone. we have our educated young men and new companies about to be established soon. we want our youth to work in the oil and gas industry

without any foreign intervention, shall we tell them. thank you, but stay away from us. we don't want anything from them. go when you occupied us, you left nothing but. and after all those years, they want us to think that they care about us. no, it said be up to the rescue while italy has replaced russia with al jerry as its main energy supplier. it's now banking on libya to boost gas supplies to europe. it's just sign the landmark 25 year agreements that's considered the most important new investment in libby as energy sector in decades. i see it really valuable here is where italy wants and complain. important role also in order to help african countries to grow and become richer, a cooperation that does not want to be predatory, but wants to leave something to the nations. well, this corporation may be short lived because of libya's political conflicts, and rival factions where one man signature means nothing to the other. the country

has been split into government in the east and west, but in this case, we're already seen disagreements within just one side. activate in the investment agreement is illegal, and lex parity between the li, been and italian sites. this is the state of affairs in the country a decade after nate's us invasion was supposed to fix everything where italy played a significant role. italy has decided to increase the operational flexibility visit croft with targeted actions against specific military targets selected on the libyan territory. with the aim of helping to protect the libyan civilian population . with this same participating on an equal footing and allied operations, italy always remains within the limits established by the mandate of the operation . and by the resolutions of the un security council, italy had no problems in business with gadhafi before becoming one of his largest army suppliers. and largest buyer of crude oil, all that stopped after the so called intervention,

which just happens to come after gadhafi had proposed straigten oil for gold instead of dollars. and raises taxes for foreign companies operates and libya. imagine there is a conspiracy to control libyan oil, to control the libyan land, and to colonize libya again, this is impossible, impossible, and we will fight into the last man and woman to defend libya during the western bombing campaign. italy's foreign minister said that his conscience energy giant ian, i will have, and number one roll in the future of the north african country. and on the day, tripoli fell the new york times. had a headline ready? the scramble for access to libya's oil wealth begins and it did. the largest oil reserves in africa were up for grabs, with sources on the ground reporting that some natal countries even took some cruise for free. and here we are now in a new scramble. it seems with concerns talking about how much they want to help

africa while of course, help in themselves. well, in libya's case, we're seeing european support for the tripoli based government. now, you know, the ones are closer to the oil fields. well, if history taught us anything, it's that today's friend might be tomorrow's enemy. we've seen what happens with those who don't play by the western rules. the game is the same and so are the players. and the price is the natural resources at any cost to home. commentators see when so he says the you are as one of the western allies deliberately stalled and weakened governments in the arab world. so they can rob the region of its oil since 2011. and till today, the lebanon says separated, and they're a broke up in from inside, and all of the on of the contracts, and on the oil, it's not going to be people,

and they are not there. there is no benefit to the libyan people and it's all being stolen by pro western man militia is pro western or politicians who are only employees for the west. and they had that big rule in destroying libya. so that is, that mean question is this contract who signed it on the outside? the united states and nato, when they came into libya in 2011, they destroyed everything. not only this, sold the energy, but they sold the gold is folk. everything from libya is seen as what they did in iraq in 2003. so they funded this war and they caused this chaos theory. the europeans and the americans. they're the ones who got their airplanes, and they bonded, they took out gas off. he and his government after libya, was stable and then it being people are where they were the richest, their people in the arab world. so they wanted to break up those counties making ma'am week and steal their oil as go for nolan,

aftermath of the south where the president of south africa has rejected. it. weston calls the country to phase out. it's use of coal and the push for green, and if you so says the country has been faith in every day. struggle to keep the lights on with more than $200.00 days of rolling blackouts reported last year. i'll take correspondent carabiner tattler as the story. this is the soundtrack of south africa. it is the humming sound of generators that represent the source of life for businesses, big and small. this has become life here for them 6 or 7 hours in a 24 hour cycle businesses. it is a vibe somehow, and that is the only way they get to keep the economy taking. this is more than just a cosmetic problem now, is become a real politics in this country. there was a, you need to buy, right? you have to actually install 810000 megawatts, 9600 megawatts or

a nuclear power plant in south africa. that didn't happen because there was a push against nuclear. the major controllers of policy in south africa on any to be is the queen lot. they have lots of money that international. they are funded by big, big banks, internationally. now we have the same offices. these offices don't seem to have a backup generator. so what happens to government social services that people actually need when the time comes? the climate change canada avoid. if we have to be going green, we have to but should not be something where we're held when some is expensive to us. so like in the self, in other solar panels, it just says she's on lessons on 45th, who can afford you are talking about given the pro good. so, so why should we abundant code? now as we are aware that this into our call is been exported to our codes, is that you case that those who are say we must go good so,

so the politics must not play with us where we need to be seamless about some food, the low chatting also affects things like the legal system, quads, me, computers, the needs, you know, life, they need to be able to access records of those that appear before them. it depends on the type of cases that we dealing with at the point in time. ah, should the cases need to be recorded, then we cannot actually record them. you understand also the law chatting itself. it actually affects the recording machine which results in court cases being postponed, of course, which in turn results in the backlog of cases. and the difficulty of that is felt most from those that rely on their electricity. i mean, barbers, for instance, they have to really dig in there to make sure that what they do is able to finish the job despite the challenges of having power cut. alex,

tell me how. how do you navigate locating, especially when it's extended hours, like 2 are 2 and a half hours, 5 hours? how do you do? um, we have a check up on my since like cordless wines like this ones, one of them can even take about an hour. so a half, about 4 of them. so if electricity goes for 4 hours, i can really work. yeah. did you buy these machines specifically for low jetting? yes, we bought this machine specific, fairly 4 follow 7. and that you have it that the daily grind in south africa, the electricity shortage, has really made some people numb. but some people angry enough to vote with their feet next week as they march to the head offices of state utility. as got. because people have had enough and it live has not been easier if everything else flows down from cellphone reception to traffic. because traffic lights also now just

always stops. but some way this low cheddie must also stop inc, and i think prosperity is on the rise in the south african nation of zimbabwe, boosted by relations with china, despite decades long wesson's actions against the country. so my ways trade with china the past year is about 30 percent to a record high, around 2 and a half $1000000000.00. now the u. s. the u. k. and of the u. imposed economic sanctions against symbol way over a legit human rights concerns. the measures have hulu international banks to cut ties with the southern african country, and fermented public unrest. zimbabwe government has at his western powers of seeking to cripple the country. while the u. s. i said the economic hardship was due to local corruption. many african leaders have stood up for them by way in

recent years with pools or the un, the sanctions to be removed when we heard form, as in bob ways, information minister who says that countries open for businesses despite what she described as western attacks. she said, african future must be based on equality between its partners, not on economic pressure. these illegal sanctions. they're just not functions like it. when you talk of function, it's actually called a mix translation sub what age in threats of military envision which have been incessantly been manipulated. this chris, our territorial integrity sanctions, if it economy. but sim, bob was innovative policy genius. his replaced the minutes of functions with the engagement and re engagement policy of our 2nd republic. isn't bob with open for business police or for 2nd to public?

or this has been done to make sure that we don't fit pick and cry over functions. but we do the best with what we have done, but with now being attacked for being is sending example will suffice to develop a fit outside neo colonial independence. in other words, we are the width of attack, well being is stand alone feet in the annals of the rise of what in african nationalism africa is open to engage with any part of the world. as long as the expenses are based on fairness and quality. look at our relationship is a country with countries like china, with kind of like russia. this is mainly because we have displayed police attributes of equality to one another, more than anything else. this is what the world needs. north sanctions and head proliferation towards the south africa is willing to exchange ideas and innovations

with any progressive global force after all humanity, as well as african countries to pursue economic opportunities that couldn't be less interest in the us dollar for international trade. us republican congresswoman marjorie cheney green had said the dollar couldn't do that. status as a was dominant currency because of washington mailing in other countries of this the u. s. proxy war with russia could result in the dollar no longer being the world's currency. because of our own arrogance and the fight to save democracy and non nato ukraine heavily sanctioned russia is proving to the world that they don't need the u. s. dollar or friendship to trade and thrive bin and those will decrease in the us congress is sharon, the global economy in recent years. and a process called dollarization. exclusive interview also has spoken with the son of

fact because president, who believes in a strong potential equipped to see to shape the world's economic future. i think it's a great idea to, to kind of decouple, to break down the, the monopoly, the stuff monopoly that the united states has and western countries have. and now we've also about u e and saudi joining bricks as well. and i mean, you look at what saudi did last year with russia where they actually did an oil transaction in durham's, in durham's. and that also was a big, big move to move away from what, when you look at, let's say the agreements that opec in the, and the oil companies have made. and the american government have made in the sixty's with even the saudi royal family. where they actually agreed for oil to be traded globally, and then also for oil to be traded in us dollars. you know,

and that is fundamentally benefited from the united states. federal reserve, more than any other country in the world, in terms of secular flow in terms of currency strength. and you know, when now we stop using dollars and we start using other currencies and now use the bricks back currency that will bring more value, circular flow, and trade amounts of west africa. thousands of people of riley to the capital of looking at faster to support the president's decision to expel french troops from the country within a month, we heard from locals in the west african nation has said the form of colonial power . france must no longer ignore their sovereignty. i will accompany captain abraham tra, help him drive out that it's just our, the french that we can have our sovereignty, that we can dry out see us, as well as those of our parents. look alive, who went back to france,

he should not return here any more. we see to the neighbors who ally with france to stop their place. nothing can go against burkina faso. anyone who organizes conspiracy should know it will backfire. the people are standing here and the people are one with the rulers has held up sides of the anti french and anti imperialistic slogans. national fives and even some russian banners was seen at the event as the country has been strengthened these times with moscow. frogs, repulsively still has some 400 troops in the west african country. now, wow, there are while they're on demands of for the withdrawal of friendships from africa . russia. ready secure peoples has have actively involved in ensuring stability, particularly in the central african republic, which is the regularly attacked by militants. french for many micron has gone as far as to choose russia of promoting anti french sentiments in the continent. we

heard from the head of the commonwealth of offices, the internet, security, alessandra, even of the says the c a. r. officials strongly appreciate the activity of the russian security forces. this is little bit russian instruct us work efficiently in the central african republic. the government of the country satisfied with our work, it was stated by officials of the republic, including the president and the prime minister. the local population is proud of the current level of training of law enforcement agencies that can protect them from external enemies. the russian military takes part not only training soldiers, but also helps in carrying out various operations. i declare, once again, the russian, instructors of the commonwealth of international security officers are working in the central african republic and invitation of the official authorities and soldiers of the wagner group are not there. the local population treats the russian military well as they are aware of their role, ensuring the security of the country now assigned to the crank of local authorities,

say, a missile fired by an air defense system has hit a residential building in the country. second largest city arkell, this footage circling on social media, shows the aftermath of the incident. a local official said, the miss alice fire wine as $300.00 defense system. media reports said it was new cranium, an error tack alert has been declared in the city. meanwhile in and on last intensify things persistent despite inclement weather conditions artes more either does the av reports from the frozen ground than the guns region. the weather has turned for the worse snow and freezing temperatures have returned. made changes, little the war grinds on it yet will you approve

but up doubling it bill a month, but boy, him i told him in the sector the conflict is largely positional. artillery. does the fighting and drones do the scouting troops on both sides are at their mercy? the snow offers only the illusion of relief. fighting and the snow presented. its own its own challenge of his enemy position, work in a field farther in the slow regarding virtually invisible. at 1st. quickly, the downsides emerge. tracts and dog camouflage become a give away. she here. this is a fortified ukrainian outpost. with a u. s. supplied humvee onsite tracks and movement him rather ill. whether thrones

monitor the impacts corrections are made and the barrage tightens day in day out, the grinding war of attrition. also bible is me in the kitchen yet. there isn't a lot of change. mostly positional warfare. the only thing that's changed is that we have to come flash accordingly. further south, russian forces are on the attack. over the past month, ukraine has lost one city and stands to lose 2 more even than ukrainian president has acknowledged. how critical things are said, daughter dozer, raska, the situation is brutal and that in bach moot, google adar. and to next there are constant russian assaults efforts to break through our defenses swap, those defenses are breaking after losing solider. there are rumors of a ukrainian retreat from bach. malt and russian forces are already in glendora or spelling serious trouble for key f. and it's nato sponsors. or i'd gazda of archie

from la ganske. while i thought for this news, our next fidela vow will be on cross. so i'm whooping back now with oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation, whole community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? what is great?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, with .
