11:05 am
with what and that's how the way intercepted by the immigration department. what they did, in fact, was that they were found to do our passports, which were endorsed in the passport the child's name was endorsed, as having been adopted by the the course and mentioned when the immigration department and the lawyer force me, i guess they've checked for the part of the perspective that they were forged with poorly protected board is it's relatively easy for criminals to target children in countries like the democratic republic of congo, moving them to done via and then beyond. but child trafficking has been a major problem in africa for decades. now. zombie itself serves as a regional hub with nearly 400000 children traffic throughout africa. every year. some western citizens have also been entangled in scandals involving child smuggling. just last year, for example, to american foster parents were detained in uganda, the child trafficking,
11:06 am
and then now facing the death penalty the the same couple have also been accused of the torture of a 10 year old in the cur. the local odds of if we spoke to earlier said that child trafficking has long been a major issue for the african continent, and he shared his thoughts on some of the reasons behind the crisis. now what you need to understand that you've had this has been ongoing for a long period of time because of our product board that we have been look at the 3 board. i've gotten a board couple board and one of the board customer melissa board, the via through board does not quite paula, especially the 5th to the quiet port us board. that means that people are able to just cross into cold war and come back without showing any documentation. and they took advantage of that to put us to work with the, the locals, so that they could get the children and transport them human trafficking. i've
11:07 am
become much more saying that your victim of things, especially in africa well, but situations where you thought beyond lebanese being transported into this country through different boards and in a very, i'm 5th condition. they use content as trucks some day along the way. and that is what we are trying to fight while on staying in the continent of africa, namibian genocide, descendants have called on germany to repay, to pay reparations for the crimes berlin committed against its former colony. they say that the agreements reached between the 2 sides is not legally sound well, according to the law suits, the namibian government had no right to accept the deal which offers no direct compensation to the descendants of the victims of genocide. on the other hand, berlin says it has already taken accountability for its past and has admitted to the heretic events. in 2021, germany pledged to invest undeveloped the country,
11:08 am
which will be paid on quotes voluntary basis. but for many in the media that is simply not enough. ah well former namibian deputy minister of lunde's been a deuce swats bree, but he says that germany's atrocities on african file mustn't be forgotten. and the berlin has to take legal accountability. and that's by providing direct
11:09 am
compensation to the victims of that genocide. jeremy is sealed yellow dead. now. he's getting military 82, you cream to fight russia. germany must constantly be reminded of the atrocities that he has completed on the african sway in specifically in the fall form a softness african home of india. and that it must take the legal responsibility into it and recognize and compensate. no mind over him, communities, death must vaguely, gemini, must constantly reminded of the atrocities because the even government will infill, as the sentence with government was never in willing to solve in assist us to,
11:10 am
to, to, to type in the month on the gym government regulations in the news, the f b, i has opened an investigation into 2 inmate deaths and a texas jail not comes amid allegations from a former member of staff who claimed that those in custody were in fact, mistreated and literal a witness correctional staff miss st. detainees because they were in need of insulins for diabetes or other medical issues. and so thought there have been for prisoner death since the start of the year in harris county jail alone. while across in the state of arkansas, the family of immensely ill inmates who starved to death while in custody, have filed a lawsuit against the county r. t correspondence, kayla martin has more in the story. the details of the lawsuit are not for the squeamish. we have a mentally ill,
11:11 am
disabled homeless man who is arrested for pointing his fingers at police officers. he can't afford to pay $100.00 to get out of jail. so he's held awaiting trial during that time and he's put in solitary confinement and he eventually dies from malnutrition. as larry eugene prize was dying, and even after he was dead, reports filed by prison. authorities said he was fine. offices, documented 1000, all such tracks. and mom's week stays an hour late enough to the mister price. his stuff isn't the same. boiler played phrase each time a made him sell. okay. they use this phrase when the obviously mal nourished, mister pride's lay dying in the pool of contaminated stands and water. they consented to use this phrase, even after he was discovered, unresponsive while he was being transported to the hospital. and during his time in the emergency room. shockingly, they made at least town additional entries in may 10 cello k,
11:12 am
of the miss surprises pronounced. that while this is evidence of their deliberate indifference, it is also a child pale sign of glaring systemic deficiencies. it appears that what happened is they just threw him into a cell all by himself and ignored him. they did not bother to check and see whether he was eating or drinking. as a result, the disabled man rotted away. the lawsuit alleges criminal neglect price, his medications had been cut off, making his mental illness much worse. it appears pretty clearly that the staff were not checking in on him or else falsifying their reports and saying everything was fine as he was wasting away. when larry price was 1st locked up, his weight was about a $185.00 pounds at the time that he died weighed only 90 pounds. he'd lost roughly half of his body mass. no one was fired or even disciplined after the death of larry eugene price. his gruesome dad was considered to be just another day at the
11:13 am
sebastian county criminal detention center. in arkansas, the family is now suing for what they say is a pretty obvious case of wrongful death and criminal neglect. now what started all of this anyway? larry price was a disabled homeless man who suffered from hallucinations. he walked by this police station pretty frequently, often speaking incoherently. on one particular day seemed rather fired up and angry . he pointed his fingers like a gun, the police arrested him charging him with making a terrorist threat. now this is a crime. the mental health experts say this highly disabled man was not even capable of committing us media is. busy filled with unverified allegations about violations of human rights and the mis treatment of prisoners and other countries. but the details that have emerged about the heretic gruesome way that larry eugene price died. forces us to ask whether u. s. media and us officials are really being genuine and their concerns about
11:14 am
other countries. when this kind of thing is happening right here in the united states, ala often are t new york. when we continue now with the latest news from the war in ukraine officials in russia, it's crimea said that local defense systems have shot down to ukrainian drones over the sea. and that's close to the port city of service store for now. so far there's been no information of any damage or casualties, but this does come as local ukrainian or authorities have confirmed multiple russian strikes in several regions. at least one strike took place on energy infrastructure facilities, and that's being confirmed in the city of evolve. meanwhile, a videos appeared online that allegedly shows scores of dead ukrainian soldiers being prepared to be sent back to the ukranian side. now, quick warning, the falling images are disturbing. now as you can see from this footage here,
11:15 am
there are soldiers lying in wooden coffins which fill the building. now there is no information on where or when this video was reported, but it does come as a situation for the ukrainian army continues to deteriorate near the city of voc moods, multiple reports suggests that ukrainian forces are repairing the withdrawal from the region as fights is from russia's private military group, the wagner group are advancing in the area, the head of wagner. you have any pre gordon, but he says that the city could be surrounded in the coming months. here with my business, florida there about 90 battalions inside or around by mood. that's about all these new 40 or 50000 people. the enemy draws out a new reserves every day. we're going to circle back move in march or april. but let's not get ahead of ourselves. they are getting you weapons. now you can be 100 percent. sure, we will destroy these leopards. meanwhile,
11:16 am
our correspondence is done. i've got a rare opportunity to speak with the wagner chief in person. if jenny p goes in, gave his take on the situation on the front lines and he described how his faces are spearheading some of the combat operations. now going to the warning to view as this report also contains some distressing footage. the few years ago this group was more mythical than real. now we stand in a large warehouse greeted by the head of the wagner company himself. the occasion is solemn, commemorating the self sacrifice of 2 hero pilots. the no man left behind principle in case of the wagner group had applies not just to personnel, but to symbolic relics of war like the remains of this russian bama jet. it was shut down by the ukrainian forces during the fighting for the city of buck mood. when the pilots realised that while they were doomed, they directed the burning machine towards the enemy,
11:17 am
towards their military column dying heroically themselves. and while taking a bunch of foes with them, ukraine had already returned with honors the bodies of the pilots. the jets debris though, could only be retrieved now, as the wagner group was closing in on our chops. what norman, for commercial ones were this is flight $48.00, the guys have fuel to fulfill their desk that having cries the blaine and the enemy territory running their military convoy, it's now time to commemorate what they have done. and i was at it in a thomasville mote. it's wagner versus the entirety of ukraine's military might no man knows the situation on the ground letter when the roost chieftain, regardless of the clock, are threads of buffalo. astro moved to one wise and bought martin. it seemed to paralyze the korean army and it's already paralyzed. the enemy is deploying reserved troops,
11:18 am
but we're advancing in different directions every day. somewhere. it's 50 meters and somewhere it's $100.00. we are fighting for each house for each square meter you. there is a $45.00 area in every yard garza mago and then we see another familiar face. a fighter who starred in was believed to be a ukrainian propaganda video. the footage purported to show him being brutally executed, bludgeoned to death, alive well and back in the ranks. he himself, dogs to say, oh, when i was captured, they beat me. i was tortured and pressed into saying what they wanted me to say. i got many threads and they threatened to kill me and dismember my body. figure all the footage on line for my family to see who do go to the lou obama. yes, sure decorated vitamin command is also mingle in the room. the wool are very aware of the new batch of heavy western weapons will soon have to face on the

battlefield. wagner's commander of artillery with the smoke, hence his men, have plenty of experience come from cruise using ne to made weapons are available to cover for this is not the 1st time we have encountered nato artillery. but so we came here prepared when you, thanks to lessons from previous experience against other nato artillery. look what i mean. i'm not going to say which one, but we met more than once and we met some more powerful artillery than the ones here on this front. i'm not going to share the details, but that experience has taught us a lot unusual. based on that, we have developed progress well in your life itself has forced us to develop new tactics for conducting artillery combat operations info. mm hm. no one here showed any disrespect or disregard to the fo skill. yet no one doubts. wagner will come out victorious. i'm august done of reporting from the dorm bus r t ah, no, the news?
11:20 am
beijing has opposed australia's decision to remove chinese made surveillance cameras from government buildings across the nation, and hopes of camber. it will provide fair treatment for beijing companies. the australian defense ministry has branded the move as quotes non political to me, when you go away, we oppose any wrong doings of over stretching the concepts, national security and using state power to discriminate against you guys. i'm saying we hope that i was really, i will provide a fair you're just and non discriminatory environment. me for the normal operation of chinese enterprises and do more things conducive to mutual trust and cooperation between the 2 size. yeah, this is not a political issue. i mean, these cameras pre dice the last election but, but it is right to be focused on we do need to be thinking about the security of our defense of skies. and so we're going through the process. and so either campbell, i am, we're going to remove what cameras it is over $900.00 chinese made security cameras
11:21 am
have been installed across more than $250.00 australian government buildings. and that includes the department of defense is facilitates the cc tv cameras. when connected to the internet and were being removed as a precaution, the department said to move be made in the united states and britain, which i've taken measures to protect sensitive sides, have on the whole form, australian ambassador to the us. and russia says, washington is preparing australia to wage war against china. lisco live now, 2 weeks ago, the vice president of the center for china and globalization could even see a beta. first of all, to get your thoughts on this moved by australia, defense ministry is it's a proven prudence, move, or paranoia. i think it's an act of paranoia as an act of insanity and is an act of reasonableness and false trailer. to do
11:22 am
this at the time when australia, china, economic relations are being improved is. ready extremely unfortunate, and i'm afraid this will have its consequences because in a says it will please the bilateral relations between china and australia and china . after all, is the largest market for many exports from australia, including minerals, energy, and winery food. you name it and i'm afraid the australia and producers will suffer the consequences. do you think that the chinese government will react specifically to this move to remove those cameras from, from australian government buildings? first of all, i think in the world of today, technology has to be neutral. and the use of technology is, should be abiding by the rules of the laws of the jurisdiction where these take
11:23 am
knowledge is operate. therefore, purely to focus on the technology themselves. the equipment, for example, is really park. you have the wrong tree, you need to focus on the data, connect to collectives and the way these equipment is used, for example, to blame the equip. but as if they are the instrument of ideology, our fuel pumps is box. he had the wrong tree. it shows really immature, a g. and it shows paranoia on behalf of australia as well as western countries. they agitate full war rather than prepare for peace. indeed, and they did say these companies weren't even connected to the internet, but it does, it does a pissy part of a trend. this started in the u. k. in the u. s. with their removal of hallways telecommunications equipment, to expect to see see more instances of chinese technology been removed from some so
11:24 am
called sensitive sites. first of all, to remove such a neutral technologies and equipment actually damages their all reputation as well as hurts that economic bugs in line. because these chinese made the products are high quality, very affordable and very easy to maintain. and therefore, the consumers will actually need such products from china to put a label on chinese made the products is the wrong thing politically incorrect. and then eventually, where can they find the replacement for these chinese made high tech products very, very difficult, or a huge cost to their consumers. therefore, it doesn't make any sense. political or economic says, and i think it will continue to worse because the united states is really going
11:25 am
into overdrive being agitating for confrontation or rivalry against china rather than getting along with china in good spirit. this is against the mega trend of our time because what china represents is peace and stability, growth and development, cooperation across borders. rather then for example, promoting the g or urging for cold war. we've certainly made your thoughts very clear on that big to go vice president of the sense of china and globalization . thank you very much for your time today. thank you very much for having me. in the news space, which is one of the top 3 carriers of ukrainian grained by the black sea corridor, has been using the vice a wheat to feed its pigs to exports. more poll robinson helps from the world's poem
11:26 am
nations, as was initially expected of the country. it's rachel marston, as mall. remember all the talk about how critical it was to get ukrainian grain shipped out of ukraine to feed the hungry in africa asia. well, according to the latest real time data published by the united nations black sea grain initiative, joint coordination center, the top 3 destinations for ukrainian grain are china, spain and turkey. and those 3 countries alone represent 46 percent of all exports. so we're talking, all exports being roughly $700.00 plus shipments of grain. china acts as the gateway to asia and turkey acts as the gateway to africa. but what's the deal with spain? spain domestically produces more than enough of the grain that it needs to feed its own people with grain for people accounting for just about a quarter of all the countries domestic consumption,
11:27 am
the rest of the grade that the country produces goes to feed its livestock. and notably, pigs, spain is routinely ranked as one of the top, if not the top port producing country in the entire world. which means that with all this grain being imported into spain, from ukraine, now it's hard to escape the conclusion that the countries literally picking out on ukrainian grain. and it's not like this is about making sure that cute little pigs roaming freely around the spanish countryside. don't go hungry, it's not about taking the food out of their mouths. more grain just basically means that more pigs can be churned out for port to the economic benefit of madrid and ultimately to the european economy. which of course is great for europe. but what exactly was growing spain's pork industry used as a reason to unblock ukrainian grain? last month,
11:28 am
spain was able to increase its meat exports by 79 percent overall. that's in part due to its ability to meet china's demands, to sell a 124 per cent, more spanish port to beijing compared to the same period last year. again. wonderful for the spanish economy, but not exactly following the spirit or the letter of the deal to unblock ukrainian grain to feed. the poor. russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly raised the issue of food from ukraine being misdirected. but i did give sure you don't know why you moist crenan the almost sole grain exposed it from ukraine is south north of the developing and poorest countries. but to the european union states on the 2 ships out of $87.00 below that. as paul told you out of the world food program, i'd like to say that just like many european countries, so a previous decade and sensory sector does colonize us, so they continue to do today to fuel. so just how much ukrainian grain is getting
11:29 am
to the countries that need it most. well collectively they're getting about 15 percent of the total export volume, which works out to roughly one percent each. but guess is proud of those efforts, spain. here's the spanish, we're a minister patting himself and ukrainian authorities on the back last fall for their humanitarian initiative. green from ukraine. spain joins ukraine and the rest of its allies in this program, which is an honor, an immortal testament to ukraine's commitments against hunger in the world, even as it fights against russia's aggression and its indiscriminate shelling of export logistics infrastructure, which endangers millions of people who depend on ukrainian products, but hey, if hungry nations are getting a short changed on the grain, maybe there are at least getting some of the pork from spain after the pigs are done. stuffing their faces with it. apparently not. china is the top importer of poor, followed by japan, and then european countries like italy,
11:30 am
germany and poland. so if the intent is truly feed the hungry rather than just benefit europe's economy, the current ukrainian rein team is really missing the mark. now this comes of multiple african countries face food insecurity. somalia, for example, was recently hit by consecutive droughts and is now approaching what are some describes as one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history. with over 7 100000 people already facing food shortages and several 1000000 in need of humanitarian assistance. meanwhile, organizations like international rescue committee and action against hungry hunger excuse me, wanted that almost 1000000 more somalian on the brink of famine. the grain exports, controversy comes and strengthening relations between russia and africa, which also cover various fields with bright development prospects. without the least is the view of the director of the institute for african studies of the russian academy of sciences.
