[000:00:00;00] a mm ah, the headlines of this, our joint attack all an a rated movie facility. how's the mainstream media in a frenzy about who might have done it? a, during which she is expected to take issue at russia. some special ed was to india . india reiterates of car russia are in this principle and into the science. and then you deal with that in the bureau. war near despite the need to remember the state having contributed to destruction. the know the mapping

countries just over a decade ago. we hear from a locals about the controversial new partnership, and almost all the europeans care about their own interests. first, they don't care about us. they only want oil and gas, but we need investment. when you occupied us, you left nothing after all those years. they want to think that they care about us know, the southern african nations and bob way get so sick that could be coming loose from trade with try met this like crippling western sanction is from a, as in bob ways, information minister about the possible motivation for those western public we and the, with the rise appointed african with

good morning i welcome to the actual cost in the life from moscow. i'm mommy and as always is great to have you with us. let's take a look at today's iran has confirmed that one of its military facilities was targeted in a recent drone attack without disclosing a potential suspect. the incident has sparks media speculation about the potential for another war in the middle east. i'm an advisor to kind of present semanski, so it came as no surprise, explosive nights in iran drone and miss all production oil refineries. ukraine did warn you. join me now in the cedars discuss the details is odds. he's ego of ego. great to see you. back here in the see do a go do an attack on the iraq mercy. this is the sparked media speculation about a new war in the middle east. and we've had an advisor. we claim presence and ascii . he's sort of mot the whole thing. and he said it was an explosive night,

joking matter. well, it is hardly a joking matter. any war means bloodshed means more people losing their lives and so on and so forth. but, well, one skill that the ukrainian officials can be denied as their spectacular ability to take any event in the world and link it to the events in ukraine while in particular when it, when it comes to these attacks on iran, there has been no indication whatsoever that these events are connected in any way to the ongoing war in ukraine. in fact, very little information about the incidence are available at the moment. so far. what is known for sure that during the overnight attack on the town of hon, it's the town to the south of the capital of to run a military complex came under a drone attack. and again, the pictures released have been published. they suggest that the damage to the complex has been very, very minor. i mean, according to iranian officials,

only the roof. it was kind of damaged by the falling debris of a drone that was carrying something very explosive and other drones. again, unknown number of them. so far that took part in this attack that they have been intercepted. they apparently weren't accepted by the rain in defense of forces. so this is what we know sort of for a fact. again, very little information has come out of iran. internet has been very unstable in the country during the attack. there have been media reports that had went down all together. but so far the damage has been very insignificant and will miniscule occur in especially comparing to the initial reports that we've had. and the rainy and foreign minister has nonetheless condemned the aggression have listen palo, sorry, her dad ma hike was as following efforts by the enemies of iran's nation are aiming to make you run insecure in recent months. this cowardly action has been taken to

day cuz our country security will act with maximum potency to provide national security in the country. and such actions must not affect the will and intention of our experts in order to progress in the field of peaceful nuclear plants. now of course tensions between the west and to run, they have been skyrocketing in the past month, mainly over the iran's nuclear program, then over the reports of iran supplying weapons to russia to help russia in so push in the ukraine. and so this has really put around on the bad side of the western diplomats and politicians. but interestingly so far, both sides, i mean the unknown assailant and to run, they have restrained themselves from making any accusations or from stepping forward because no one has yet claimed the responsibility over the attacks and run to run in turn has not accused anybody is well we've heard reports that israel might have been behind it, but so far,

no confirmation of that information. you say that, i mean you said earlier that there was like a tax in the there was a drone and the debris made some damage on the roof. iran of downplayed, i suppose, but israel media, they've called and lobby. why, of the 1st of all, why they commenting? i mean, do they, do they know something? we don't know. what's really behind the i think they're just playing for position here. i mean, we always know that iran and the u. s. and is not the best of friends. no, not at all. and of course, in the age of hype, when hype is so important, and so well as being a kind over sold to journalists all over the world. i mean, of course, this is a big, this is a big event for the region, possibly for the world. if it's, if it escalates any further, but of course israel being the main adversary overall that's, that's, that's a big story for israeli media. so, but interestingly enough,

most of the attacks the came on iran on the information front because come, if you compare as to how it was reported, one initial 1st, it was 1st bits and pieces of information 1st crumbles. real reported it look like it was an all our blue, a full blown wall, like our a be if reported that israel did nothing should but started a on the ground military operation against iran that invaded ground troops invaded iran. this is, this is what was ported initially that the scale of damage of the scale of devastation was infinitely higher and more significant and severe compared to what we have seen in the pictures that were eventually released, that there have been explosions all over to iran, which turned out to be just off to show off to showcase of an earthquake that a prime. they have been reports that the headquarters of the iranian islamic

revolutionary god. but it also came under attack. and so fight looks that those were false reports as well. so it looks like that whoever spearheading this information campaign, they are looking to cripple iran, but maybe not so much militarily and on the ground, but rather on the information front. so indeed perhaps is just testing the wards is ego robledo probing? probably. anyway, it is not a laughing matter that special like so much for joining me here in the plaza. ok, there's new and now senior us diplomats. victorian union has said washington and working with india to lower the south. asian countries supposed dependence on import. so russian ministry, women, she made that statement before embarking on sort of asia, she's, it arrived and then later on monday, these dependencies as they've created and 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 toria newland will be in new delhi in the evening today. she is here to hold the annual in their u. s. foreign office consultations where she was going to cover a range of biological and global issues. now just before her was the to new delhi, victoria newland said that the united states wants to help india when away from russian arms and oil. but he has a question, was asked for his help. and a fun fact of india as i were found at silva difficult spot pertaining to oil or annes. that's good to see united states now. in fact, that's one reason india gave to defy western sanctions again, moscow and to continue buying oil from law school. is that uni natural sanctions in

india as experience don't work. for instance, united states against iran, for countries like india, eat, in fact, could not import oil from iran and it had shrink india's option of importing oil from iran to winners willa all under sanctions. and now suddenly the u. s. wants to help india. so the united states has problems not just with oil, but also in the us defense partnership with russia. now as far as this partnership is concerned, it did stop to the cold war. and the reason this partnership became so deep as also because for decade the west refused to supply arms to india when india needed, then an india else took leadership value. was this relation between, during this common political journey, the president, putin, i have had the journey of friendship and co operation between our countries has

also moved forward at a very fast pace. president, putin and i have taken this relationship to new heights of co operation on the basis of trust and partnership. so new delhi is rather happy with each defense partnership with moscow, which is timing in fact and as far as oil is concerned in, there has been very clear that bind discounted oil from russia has been helping the country and its people. but suddenly the united states wants to help india, but the big question is, this india, i really need this help. we heard from defense, i, for dinner car perry, who said the u. s. is unable to tolerate even the middle ground that india has chosen as washington try to increase the pressure on moscow is also a day will, didn't, within india and the u. s. in developing just dance and reaction the water in

ukraine. so in that is well known in your started as well known the the middle bob issue on to call it. that ignores dick and it has been very well articulated at different louis. this is a be not ongoing u. s. r u s. lead west afoot to get up the rest of the major major countries including india and those 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 or you know, under sure, in terms of sanctions giving greater weapons in the background that they would want . definitely more pressure on support for their moves. italy has range and $8000000000.00 energy deal with one of 2 rival governments in war torn libya. but while the native member and a former colonial power insists it does not want to have a predatory role in the region,

local residents have expressed their concerns. the memory of nato bombings of libya over a decade ago, the italian military forces appeared to remain ever present among the population. will you give em in? they any welcome, a nice idea 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 we feel is our closest neighbor different, but it had a gal anal history with us and 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. ladies. yes, ed. this is the policy of european countries like italy and france. they blame each other in the media. but behind the since they grew on everything and just divide the wealth for african 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 was a lot,

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 the ard to the rescue, while italy has replaced russia without jerry as its main energy supplier. it's now banking on libya, said boost gas supplies to europe. it's just signed a landmark 25 year agreement. that's considered the most important new investment in libby as energy sector in decades is c. a doily 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 wyvil factions where one man signature means nothing to the other. the country has been split into a government in the east and west, but in this case, we're already seen disagreements within just one side activate. and the investment agreement is illegal, and lex parity between the li, been an italian sites. this is the state of affairs in the country a decade after nato's 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 their 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 problem doing 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 in libya in mama them 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 a 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 did. the largest oil

reserves in africa were up for grabs. with sources on the ground reporting that some natal countries even took some crude for free. and here we are now in a new scramble. it seems with countries talking about how much they want to help africa. while of course, helping themselves well in libya's case, we're seeing european support for the tripoli based government. now, you know the ones that 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. ah, economic prosperity is on the rise in the southern african nation of zimbabwe, boosted by relations with china, despite decades on western sanctions against the country. so my wife's trade with china, the policy is, surged about 30 percent to record high ground, 2 and

a half $1000000000.00. the us the u. k. and the you impose economic sanctions against him by way over and legit human rights concerns. the measures have cooled, international banks to cut ties with the southern african country and fermented public unrest. zimbabwe government has a huge western power of seeking to cripple the country. while the u. s. has said that the economic hardship was due to local corruption. many african leaders have sit up for zimbabwe in recent years with calls at the you and for the sanctions to be removed. we heard from zimbabwe information minister who says the country is open for businesses despite what she described as western attacks. she said, africa's future must be based on equality between its partners, not on economic pressure. these illegal functions. they're just not functions like when we talk of function,

it's actually economics, translation, sub portage and threats of military envision which have been incessantly been manipulated to squeeze our territory integrity sanctions if it economy. but sim, bob was innovative for this genius. his replaced the minister of functions with the engagement and re engagement policy of our 2nd republic. isn't bob with open for business police or for 2nd republic? or this has been done to make sure that we don't sit back, can cry over functions. but we do the best with what we have done by with now being attacked for being is sending example so fast developing sit outside neo colonial independence. in other words, we are the, with an attack will being extend 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 accenture's 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 policy attributes will require you to one another more than anything else. this is what the world needs notes, functions, and hit proliferation to the south africa is willing to exchange ideas and innovations with any progressive global force. after all, humanity is one is really generous on rights. activists have thing to the streets of kind of the, even to show support for public broadcasting in the country. there have been repeated government slash budgets and even something trying to down to the story.

here's our middle east correspondent, maria the national. this is a c h, and hel hearing, tell you on sunday. oh i and die right. oh, in the government's i don't public broadcasting. mandatory cables mentally said there was no home anymore. and he wants to go cause to increase the larger offering a direct impact on the country media. and as a result, democracy, they say they want to take off money real reasons they want, it's their broadcast, con, their organization. they, public radio and public. a broadcasting is very independent and they want to control it. they tried to shut the same mouth. this is definitely an attack on free

media. we don't know for really, for just threats, but the threats by themselves are enough to heard the free press. i think there's a new government, they want a majority of ultra orthodox conservatives, and many people from the right wing. and they are of, you know, fight with the media in order to generate some sort of an enemy. that closing don all public broadcasting is not a good idea for a healthy democracy. the threat to close the con, broadcasting corporation is a war against the entire israeli public, against the millions of citizens of the country who watch and love the content of con, launch. lemme gallery. hello, mr. kerry. to let it be clear to you that if you tried to silence us and closed the door on us, we will go through the window. and if you try to close, the window will come through the feeling wouldn't affect the oxycodone. well, whenever you want to shut down any journalist, it's an attack,

it's unacceptable. local were supported by their colleagues abroad. they had of the news department at the european broadcasting union sent her video message to the participants of the conference. public service journalism plays a crucial role in all of our lives on a crucial role in democracy. we know that there is a very strong correlation between the strength and independence of a public service media organization in a country. and that countries, democracy as the strength of democracy, really relies on the journalists and being independent and free, and impartial and able to do their jobs and to be well funded. to do that, that's not only under threat of closing that to local journalists, the working here israel, there are dangerous of another kind just a day before the conference and become arch kicked off. there was an attack on journalist from the country's leading channel 13 while they were covering the deadly terror attack that happened. and uh, we're also the neighborhood of easton,

jerusalem, they media community, blaine's governmental reading, these and people. media raftery that pays attacks from jo. obviously this is the atmosphere when when the government is talking again against the media, 247, the media is responsible as if the media is responsible for the tour with dex. it's unlike a democratic country due to behavior like that, they blamed the journalists for a lot of things have happened and them home not being objective for being left is for and, and anything. yes, it spreads the way they treat the government treats new tweaks general is it shows it's ok to attack journalists, industry, israel, i with real money. we should not a they will have to oh,

to secure the b, a c from me in an exclusive interview. ortiz o, a has spoken with iran, 1st lady doctors and miller alamo holder who is also a professor of education and psychology at shahita mahash, the university, the wife of a brain racing gave us her views about islamic republics, often challenging relations with the us. now the entire interview will after this current news program, but here's a snippet. it is for the very essence of american foreign policy is intimidation. over the past 50 years, the u. s. has always sought to scare our people into submission. they've sent their navy to our shores, showing off their warships and their missiles, well, they've forced us into flawed and unfair agreements with them. this is

a component of policy of intimidation that america has deployed and is pursuing against iran to show a skewed picture of our country to the world. i imagine that you 2 now have a similar experience of dealing with america. as it promotes false narratives about russia to the rest of the world, america exercises its power through the media was mass media is used to push intimidating narratives and falsehoods, dots. they're modus operandi. or if you want to sell weapons, make a country afraid of something and no buy it off. you listen. so americans to bully our neighbors into being afraid of iran. they do the same to the global community. they want people to be scared. both britain and america have been trying to infiltrate iran for years, infiltrating our society and exerting their influence, sewing discord between family members,

setting them against each other. they're doing the same thing to the entire iranian nation. boy, this is what the devil does. a mom khomeini called america, the great satan one, and it truly is america. so it seeks to tempt and seduce. we have been living under the corrupting influence of america, britain, and their intelligence agencies for a 100 years. now. still we keep fighting back. there it is. because of this incitement and the pig like grunting of the americans and the british. that bad things happen. regardless. we do our best to defend ourselves as ashley, our unity and integrity, our mutual compassion and sense of justice before they seek to so discord among us to divide our people and our country in their goal is to break up our country. many times we've seen america in britain attempting this, but we too have learned much and are prepared to defend ourselves. ah sabra,

he's just in several people have been reported killed and dozens wounded in a body and a mosque in north western pakistan isn't occurred. as the building was crowded for afternoon prayers, initial miracles said it appeared, have been attack why a suicide bomber harmonics have arrived on the scene in those seriously wounded have been taken to a local hospital. this is a developing story and we will bring you more details as we get them for that wraps up. this is our we'll be back a little earlier with patel. i'm also the, let me start with the issue that has been a lot and the headlines recently, and i mean the, the tragic death of our mos armine, which sparks ah, a reaction not only in this country, but also a broad, wider thing. these are tragedy costs, such an last sing and such a broad response public response. and i am

a man who's i believe it with your permission. i would like to discuss this issue in depth. the thing you referred to as a tragic death and the news of which resonated throughout the world is actually a new form of what we call the policy of intimidation. says a policy that america's carrying out against my country. iran is the very essence of american foreign policy is intimidation. over the past 50 years, the u. s. has always sought to scare our people into submission. they've sent their navy to our shores as her showing off their warships and their missiles north. well, they've forced us into flawed and unfair agreements with them, but it is always been about intimidation. however, what you mentioned is just a new form of the same policy that somewhat by doing this, the u. s. wants to say to us, love with it. i'm right here in your very cities,

i can take terrorists to the streets and set cars on fire, who they want us to submit to surrender lawyers. this is a component of policy of intimidation that america has deployed and is pursuing against iran to show a skewed picture of our country to the world. i imagine that you too now have a similar experience of dealing with america. as it promotes false narratives about russia to the rest of the world, i love america exercises its power through the media and others. mass media is used to push intimidating narratives and falsehoods. that's their modus operandi. or if you want to sell weapons, make a country afraid of something and no buy it off. you know, so americans to bully our neighbors into being afraid of iran. they do the same to the global community. they want people to be scared. i agree with you that the west
