surround the city of our field, most in the dawn, yet for public western media changed their narrative downplaying the significance of the stronghold. we discussed this with a panel of yes, given the ukrainian watches. i don't think it said it's significant and you look at the territory, that's there. that's significant territory. if the russians take it back over, i think that you were to the people who stayed there are waiting the russians to liberate a city. ah, good morning for martine, are national studios in moscow, and welcome to the hour's top stories worldwide. i'm fiorella is about at the chinese t political event called to sessions the countries foreign minister said he hopes the you will embrace strategic independence from the u. s. after the end of the

ukrainian conflict, adding that the west is escalating the conflict and pursuing its own agenda while undermining the proposed chinese piece plan. earlier you honish regrettably, however, efforts for peace talks have been repeatedly undermined. there seems to be an invisible hand pushing for the per traction and escalation of the conflict and using the cream crisis to serve a certain geo political agenda. while the u. s. fully support ukraine, china's foreign minister says washington, simultaneously, this were fact, chinese sovereignty sanctions intensified. last august, when you as how speaker nancy pelosi paid an official visit to the island. despite china's protest parking a sharp response from beijing and prompting large scale military drills around the islands, liver, the minister made a comparison saying that on one hand, it respects the territorial integrity of ukraine. but on the other, disregards the fact that taiwan is an inalienable part of china. hello m and

t shirt. don't go. the chinese people have every right to ask, why does the us talk about respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity and ukraine war, disrespecting, china sovereignty and territorial integrity on the taiwan question, why does you ask us china not to provide weapons to russia? well, it keeps selling arms to taiwan in violation of the august 17th communique. why does the u. s. keep on professing the maintenance of regional ties and stability while cowardly formulated in a plan for the destruction of taiwan? the minister in testified as to rhetoric opposing the interference by outside forces on activities relate to taiwan independence. and he were either rooted that taiwan in china's 1st great line that united states must not cross. and it's a, he said that the resolution of that tie one issue is a matter for the chinese people. and no other country in this play on this planet

has the right to interfere. he also re eatery that china retains the option to take all necessary measures to achieve the so called gray unification with taiwan. and he also blame the you as for the right intentions between washington and beijing and said that either you as does not change this path, they're gonna be some conflict and confrontation and rushes. biggest fertilizer producer has provided 20000 tons of this central growing minerals to malawi. as rushes seeks to help african nations combat food and security. this is part of the company's previously announced intention to provide nearly $300000.00 tons free of charge to developing countries. the initiative is focused on easing the global food crisis and being implemented in accordance with the un plan, which aims for 0 hunger, improved nutrition and

a promotion of sustainable agriculture. while always says it's thankful for russia's aid. molly is privileged to be the 1st country to receive fertilizer from europe. oh, the countries that have been intensely fee that my hours should be the 1st $1.00. we're pleased for that day too grateful. i can never say thank you. not if the russian government and your account for what you owe down to commodore rescue when we needed you the most 2 friends, nowhere and true friend cause you to risk you when you need them to last, you just demonstrate attached to us, the russian ambassador to malawi says moscow hopes western countries will open up ports to allow russian shipments to deliver essential goods to nations and need. but believe that it is very high time for the rest of the countries to unblock

russian food and thir salazar's bonded and some 4 to lessen countries. so we could continue delivering agricultural products to africa and to all the parts of the world. meanwhile, the central african republic says its resources have been exploited and looted for decades by western powers. that's the message from the countries leader during a un conference and could tar central african republic has always been wrongly conceded by suit morrison powers as a reserved for strategic materials. it her suffered a systematic looting since its independence helped by political instability supported by certain western powers or their allies. this comes as africa struggles with food and security with millions of people at risk of starvation as the you and mediated green deal between russia and ukraine has not been able to deliver on its

total goal of helping the continent where most of the food exports have been taken by european countries instead of being sent to africa and president to a dera isn't the only one who's criticized the west is treatment of africa as the un secretary general outline problems, developing nations phase, specifically predatory interest rates. because becoming development is challenging when countries are start for resources drowning in debt and still struggling with historic injustice of and unequal. copied 19 response starting with vaccines and then by the very unfair access to the resources needed for recovery, deprived of liquidity. many of you are locked out of capital markets by predatory interest rates, deprived of effective debt relief. you can be forced to spend an ever growing share of government revenue on debt service costs. we spoke to independent analysts will cardiac who says the wes impose the sanctions on developing countries for

cooperating with russia and china in order to preserve their ability to exploit resources the must part of the poor countries. but the african countries are dependent on only off the offers or some debbie from the western countries. we need a debt support, so stop by and sometimes we're feeling like new colonda and these near enough to cut our solid show sometimes the russian government of the china government to make some deals. we created some problems with the western countries . maybe you can cut the relationship with the duration with the new western countries, because really, you know, the most part of their western countries like russia in particular. sometimes that is the one big problem for the african countries. we don't have any solution if you

want money to development, our economy issue into them. the other countries. yeah, we had created one big problem in the future. on the front lines in the don. yes, republic rushes, wagner's group is spearheading the assault on the city. russian troops have almost completely surrounded the keys city of r t almost also known as bach mooch. while the entrench ukrainian troops have been partially cut off. this on verified footage circulating on social media apparently shows wagner's soldiers replacing a ukrainian flag with their own on top of a russian monument in the eastern part of our deal most according to its troops. they arrived at the world war 2 era memorial before retreating. ukrainian troops could destroy it with explosives. meanwhile, washington is now trying to downplay the significance of the key city. the fall is

buffalo won't necessarily mean that the russians have changed the tide of this fight. i think it's more of a symbolic value than it is a strategic and operational. this comes as western media has also changed in narrative around the russian assault on the city. now also downplaying its significance, while previous reports labeled the city key and strategic the narrative. now suggests the stronghold is not so important and has mostly symbolic value. the narrative change comes as a german media outlet reported on disputes between ukrainian president lensky and his top commander. regarding the situation and already almost. according to the report, the ukranian general told zalinski about the need for your korean troops to retreat from the city weeks ago. but just recently, the ukrainian president refused and said care of will continue the fight. earlier my colleagues nick here and, and donald quarter discuss the issue with

a panel of guess course a pentagon now says it's not strategic, but it doesn't really make much sense for both sides to be putting so much effort, so much manpower into either holding or taking a city that was never of any real strategic importance. i mean, in the recent weeks, the wagner private military company has done just that. they've essentially almost nearly encircled the ukranian troops that are still within the city who have found themselves in a blood bath just to maintain the defensive it. their on direct orders from ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, who said these troops need to hold their ground and they need to fight down to the last man, but we have heard reports actually of descent within ukrainian ranks. apparently, the commander in chief of the ukrainian armed forces is saying the key have should, at this point just caught its losses and withdrawal from the city. now, if we go by what the mainstream media says, it might seem that these ukrainian held cities of strategic importance all the

sudden stopping strategic once they're just about to switch hands. this is what we saw, the mainstream media say about solid are when it was just on the brink of being liberated by the russian forces in the danielle people's republic. and now that's what we're seeing them say about arch almost the russian forces try to take the strategic town of back that the city itself is not that strategically important, which all earlier in the strategic town of bah, most it is not strategically important. it could lead to the full, a suave hands can comp tools because, well, the 2 most important cities in the dumbass there is little strategic value is not a military hub, is not a communications hub, michael maloof, i'd like to direct this 1st question to you. what do you think about the, how important the battle for this city is for both sides? and what do you make of this? you turn in washington's position. it can be a significant, strategically significant given it's access to the rest of the dumb bus for to you

gotta keep in mind lloyd austin over saw the withdrawal of us troops out of iraq back in 2011 and what crept in isis. so i don't really care that much for his strategic analysis. and number 3, it would take a lot of ukraine troops out of the fight. and i think that this is what they want to do given the ukrainian losses. i don't think it said insignificant and just to prove, put, i think would be a demoralizing factor for the ukrainians at this point. if they weren't just to get up and, and leave. and you look at the territory, that's there. that's significant territory. if the russians take it back over the phone, we know that thousands of civilians are reportedly chosen to remain inside our tim of scope, but others have been trying to flee. so what exactly do we know about the situation in the city at the moments while without a doubt,

but the vast majority of the civilian population of this city has been evacuated, but several 1000 civilians have still remained. and you gotta, you gotta ask yourself, why would they stay in a completely demolished city when they know that there's going to be serious military operations in the area. and according to what we've seen, actually, both in the, even the western media and the accounts of ukrainian soldiers, what we've seen is that a lot of people have stayed behind because they've a way to be a rival of russian troops. got a case of the moot, and in general, the dumbass people confidently say or are thinking that they will wait for russia to come because they are over pro russian position. despite some people saying otherwise many preferred to seek safety with the russians. those who have stayed in buck mood are waiting for assistance to go to russian controlled territory. the local here have waited and waited for russians had refused to leave through ukrainian corridors. sonya, you've been in the dining at the people's republic based on your own experience.

what would you say which side do you think the locals are taking in cities that are in battled across the people's republic? like our chalmers, bordered for down because the people a waiting for the russians to come in. maybe there are, people would not go out because like money or whatever, they didn't know where to go to. but i think the majority of the people who stayed there are waiting the russians to liberate the city. and this is where we saw before in other cities before, right? russians cutting for monday's revelations from the f. s. b, which says it is story say the ukrainian, a type targeting russian businessman and journalist, konstantin mallow, fear of what all the details of that story. well, according to russia's federal security services, the russian volunteer corps, that was behind this assassination attempt on this journalist. this is a ukrainian military detachment made up of russia neo nazis ultra nationalists who

have were ideologically motivated to support the ukrainian military in this this conflict. this is the same organization that carried out an attack on the russian border region of brianna sca terrorist attack. they opened, fired on civilians and killed and injured a number of people. unfortunately, this isn't the 1st time that we've seen. going back to this fascination attempt on the journalist, it's not the 1st time we've seen. the ukranian forces tried to assassinate journalists that have nothing to do with military activities last year. daria duke and i was also killed by the ukrainian security services and rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's a harvest says that we're seeing a trends develop here. the silence of western regimes that are usually hyper active concerning any case of journal discrimination after the attempted assassination of target channels had constantly and faith would mean their silent consent to such crimes. this would also indicate ideological coach and coming from extremist

actions of gifts. bandits andre, your attorney and a law professor, what's your take on the legal status of these cases? and do you think that they can be prosecuted an international level? i mean, why have western countries been apparently turning a blind eye to these ukrainian attacks? the target russians, unfortunately, we do not see a willingness on the side of the, of the countries that, that one to integrate ukraine into their sphere of influence. no reduction in sight of further weapons supplies and, and no rush, no, no rational approach to this the, the battle cry is whatever it takes and whatever it takes means by any means whatsoever, including illegal including assassinations. well, culture is psychological slavery. those words from indian american 2024 us presidential hopeful, vivek,

rama swami. i called out the 3 secular religions in america that have america in a chokehold today. the 1st of them is this woke racial religion that says your identity is based on your skin color, that if you're black, you're inherently disadvantaged. that if you're white, you're inherently privilege, no matter your economic background or your upbringing, that your race determines who you are and what you can achieve in life. his statement comes amid a chorus. from conservatives have criticize a platform, highly popular among democrats. their key criticisms are that cancel culture is an ideology produced to oppress those who disagree with the woke ideology originally defined as being alert to racial prejudice and discrimination. today the term has swept up a variety of other causes, like l g, b, t, q, and climate change. a book by the presidential contender titled woke inc and side corporate america's social justice scam has been published to explain the other

side of the perspective. we spoke to colonists and commentator are in dumb mac or g, who says the agenda is now used as a tool for geopolitical manipulations. i am very excited that somebody like the big around the saw me was a brilliant guy, was a resourceful guy, financially successful lose announced this candidate for presidency, but you know, it's played very poor i'm i'm pretty hopeful about what the, the grounds for me says there has been plenty of cases, but people have lost their jobs. people have lost their professional practice. people have lost the 10 years of college. professors, people have even been suspended from the social media for expressing values and for expressing opinions which are not going to walk enough. and that's this, this, this kind of, this kind of usage of the, this display of what gives them of the cultural weapon is still, i would say,

on an individual, you know, this, this has been on an individual basis these days as we speak, what custom has been used to the job loss of just about a few months ago. we have the french press to talk about that. we're not going to allow something like something to the effect of saying that you're not going to allow american workers culture can read our land. and walk isn't, is being used to political as the speak to sort of the indian cultural system to undermine the indic menu system over here. so yes, it is being used individually to get people. it is also being used politically geopolitically. so what are the countries a prominent tunisian politicians daughter is urging britain to seek the release of side for johnny, who's been imprisoned by the 2 major government in an alleged effort to silence critics of the country's president. she nicea is heading down

a very worrying pulse of authoritarianism and it is important that the asterisk u. k speaks out strongly against this as a democratically elected politician and leading figure and she, missy, and politics. my dad has played an instrumental role in promoting democracy and human rights into nicea since the arab spring, his imprisonment along with at least 16 other political prisoners this month, including politicians, journalists, and judges, is a blatant attempt to suppress opposition voices. site for johnny was arrested in the north african country last month. he is held on charges that accused him of conspiring against the state and fomenting chaos for johnny previously lived in exile in the u. k. before returning to tunisia, after the so called 2011 revolution and serving as an m p from the a, not a party to just post arab spring, government has often been accused of corruption and widespread in effectiveness.

following the 2011 revolution tunisia, economic growth has virtually stalled off some establish economic monopolies have remained. the public sector has been bricked by labor strikes, denisia. her president was elected in 2019 and made record low voter turnout and has struggled to secure public support. tunisians have been rallying and supportive political prisoners in the nation. we heard from locals in the streets of the country's capital. i. today we consider security forces as non republican. they are affiliated to k, you said who was illegitimate because he bridge the constitution abuse the trust and his mental, the state. he's an illegitimate who perpetrated a crime against the country. and those security forces prevented us from rallying, even though we had notified them about at 72 hours in advance as per law. the 11 out of his will. these president has no ears. he does not listen to anyone. he is

a dictator who does not have the capacity to dictate and he puts people in prison because he fears it and does not know that active is do not fear any prison annella . here i am here to day to support the detainees, or rather they are kidnapped by the state because there is no legal action against them. there is a detainee rush it i ari in critical condition and he's suffering from a disease. and he's on the brink of death. likewise, there is another guy whose health condition is critical. so they are not detainees, but kidnapped, and about to die. there are numerous humanitarian cases like them. rhodes are radio editor and political analyst. alexander mckay says just holding elections doesn't make a democratic nation. the issues that created the arab spring in tunisia which were fundamentally economic issues. and also the revolts in egypt, which was again about economic issues. those problems have largely not been sold by

the governments that came to power after the arab spring revolves. it's been made much worse. and this comes down to questions of sovereignty until these nations, the, the, the arab nations are recover their sovereignty. are able to assert that sovereignty are both on an economic and political level. then these problems are going to keep reoccurring because they, it is about fundamentally control of the economy by a local i leads that is tied to western powers, mainly the europeans and the americans. and therefore, you have governments which are not acting in the interest of the great masses of the people. you can have all the elections and summits about democracy that you like and bless you all, securing sovereignty and control over your own nation's resources over your own economy. then the political changes just won't matter. it's been real that 2 ukranian pilots are now undergoing training on f. 16 simulators in

the u. s. this is fuel speculation that washington is preparing to donate their job secure, have, despite publicly refusing the claim. since we haven't made the decision to provide f sixteens and neither have our allies in partners, it doesn't make sense to start to train them on a system. they may never get here visit washington to send over the f sixteens for months. the training of the ukrainians in the u. s. is reportedly aimed at evaluating how long it would take them to be ready to operate the aircraft. president biden has said he's not considering giving of 16 to key of any time soon, but refused to rule out. doing so in the future. for mercy. a analysts, larry johnson says washington's training of the ukrainian pilots may just be an attempt to please us, critics. we're calling for the f sixteens to be delivered. part of it's, i think,

political theater. he's got members of both the democrat and republican parties in the united states, demanding all the bio ministration needs to provide fighter jets to ukraine. so one way to at least feed that illusion is to say ok, we're starting to train to pilots and hope hope that that will play kate these critics. until that the situation clarifies a new crime because, you know, candidly, if it continues going as it has with ukraine, losing territory, losing forces. and the russians continuing to shoot down any aircraft the ukrainians put up and put up in the air. the whole question of providing a f sixteens could become moot because ukraine would no longer have an effective military to supply such weapon systems. to more than 20 cities across russia are hosting some of india's top filmmakers and showing their work as

a week long indian film. festival kicks off tuesday. the theme of the event is love focusing on romantic and dramatic human stories. the festival will showcase some of india's classics, as well as new releases. the asian nations films are gaining increasing popularity and countries like russia, china, and saudi arabia. we're western cinema is being phased out in favor of alternative productions. we spoke with the founder of the indian films company who explain the significance of the festival in russia. there hadn't been a huge gap between bossed during the soviet times i'm talking about now. all that gap has to be filled out, but it takes time. so slowly and on a regular basis, definitely, we are trying our best,

including all the government resources. we have the ministry of culture, russia, the indian embassy, support god and the culture center support of india and the producers of guilt. they all are in huge interest and support for the russian market. as well as all the indian market is open for the russian producers and the indians are very supportive about it. they want to experiment with new content. they are very, the youth is very, very interested in knowing what is happening, what is shown in other parts of the world. and i just took, i helped this whole developed since our relations with india have always been strong, both in political and cultural aspects. so i hope that the styles will become closer in the coming months in years. we also hope that we will be able to completely break the stereotypes for our viewers so that they come and watch and in cinema, which is really worthy. often no worse in hollywood. we're not talking about established

blockbusters like marvel and so on. but i believe that our ties will only grow in morrison was at the cost of those are the top stories. this our for more up to the minute news updates, head over to r t dot com. thanks for joining in. we'll see a back next hour with look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such order with conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great trust, or rather than fear,

i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with one ship energy coming from russia. russian gush chip and she bows, affordable and shit. beulah stable, which has been proved, not the case. it is a will. that is no longer there a but it's a so form that i can put on your should it good. okay. if it's simply the water bottleneck
