about 2 kilometers deep underneath this mountain range. mm. with, they're not even hiding the fact that if russia is conquered, the next target will be china. and any country that dares to act independent with your lever on the lines. what he believes is the collective west's inter agenda of targeting moscow and beijing, as the russian diplomat meets with top officials in ankara, also this hour with 3 loan to detox against lebanon and gaz. this thing is targeting how much military infrastructure, who they've accused of carrying out thursday's rockets attack. also i had with

friends are in go 5 violence. there's half a 1000000 people take the streets in nationwide protests against pension reforms. that's what president micron discusses the war in ukraine, on his visit to china. we have the impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country with moscow to the world you're watching aussie international. my name is peter scott. here with the top stories at 4 pm this friday, thanks for joining us. versus a top diplomat said again, love rav met with top 6 officials in ankara on friday. the topics of discussion ranged from the escalating tensions in the middle east and upcoming turkish elections. the black sea grain deal and the war in ukraine versus foreign minister went on to note the west's opposing position to any states pursuing an independent foreign policy with pneumonia. so once again,

we have drawn attention to the fact that the destructive line of the collective west led by washington remains unchanged. it is a strategic strike against russia so that it would be defeated on the battlefield. this reveals the true objectives that the west is now pursuing to remove an unwanted competitor from the international arena to abolish a country that is trying to conduct its own foreign policy and full compliance with international law. they are not even hiding the fact that if russia has conquered, the next target will be china and any country that dares to act independently. it was a very brief but nonetheless, but very strategically important visit both in economic and political terms because it's taking place roughly a month before highly contested presidential parliamentary elections in turkey. and that has the bi lateral cooperation in this whole new life. they stressed out that context remain, and russia continues to be

a major facilitator in the resumption of diplomatic relationship. entricken, syria, as well as reconciliation, diplomatic or translation between turkey and armenia. jerky is also trying to play a positive and constructive role and some sort of russian, ukrainian, the reconciliation, even though both ministers specified that it's extremely difficult given the position of the west that at this point of time is not interested in any piece of dialogue. now the minister is also pointed out that the core of bilateral ties is on economic and particularly energy corporation. and this is also very interesting topic that is sort of hard not to politicize the ministers. we're asked about the, the fate of the gas pipelines that carries russian gas on to char can them on to south in europe. as you know, after the explosions and the noise stream pipelines,

or rather, terrorist attacks on the north stream pipelines. they are concerns about the security of all the turkish gas transit and the 2nd point, zolphi corporation, major point of cooperation is the aku you nuclear power station. this is a turk is 1st nuclear power station that is being constructed then that will be operated by russia. when it comes on line, it will produce roughly 10 percent of turkish electricity. and it's also billed under a very interesting and new model. russian did not only design it and constructed it if you'll also be operating it and turkish government at this point of time is celebrating it as a, as a major step towards turkish security and energy independence. saw in a way as much as the 2 sites want to keep economic energy,

things separate in politics and your culture can help but influence that in certain ways, simply because both the leaders at this point of time stress that their national interest and the sovereignty of that countries in making the independent, political and economic choices. in the news, these really military is launched several air strikes against garza thus following recent rockets attacks coming from the palestinian administration. unless cannon reportedly in retaliation for israel's wades on the oxen mosque, worshippers. ah, it awesome nights images of rockets strikes in, garza no casualties were reported though. israel says it's targeted to hamas, trinity sites and underground complexes used for the manufacturing of weapons. ah,

the mole pitches from neighboring lebanon ways claims did hit terrorist infrastructure. the local media outlets reported a palestinian refugee come, came under fire. some of the rockets damaged civil infrastructure as well as the ease. meanwhile, israel's i don't defense system went into action in settlements bordering gaza, intercepting a number of rockets earlier benjamin netanyahu said the israel's enemies will pay a price for their actions. now, good, good solution to me, somebody moved regarding the aggression against us on the other fronts. we will strike our enemies and they will pay the price for any active aggression random you will discover again, that at moments of truth, the citizens of israel stand united and unified and back the actions of the id f and the other security services to defend our country and our people,

lots of palestinian and israeli journalists gave us their views on the reasons behind and the possible consequences of the latest escalation. a man leave them women and children. and they lived and witness to marry a around and then and all. and they got a and it would continue if it continues, it's a tag, say again together i pain can maybe have mass when also i kid it is about their i'm to now and say give them a chance for the mediators name it for a year. and i thought it and maybe they can push out, and i had to stop and say at that again. and then they can do

they, can it be and they can be here. i see if i had with a better chance that these really oddly reach at times for get all the problems and to unite when they had a military operation or a war he's rose to the father problem. it's also the fleeting that also the old kind of minorities in israel, that they have their own struggles that he's really hard to get so angry at these riley government. that's right. now, to do this on your hold of the judicial system that you need from being only democracy in the middle east to some kind of that there. she's like other countries around more or less and many israelis don't like it. and the, the, that the political move of the current government is really medics and soldiers ards, the scene where 2 women were killed. another wounded after an alleged shooting by

a palestinian gunman helicopter was seen landing in the northern parts of the jordan valley to evacuate the victim of civilian buildings in garza and private property were damaged by that israeli strike. we spoke to a local man whose house was damaged in the attack. oliver wilson come, sir, god, in the $330.00 we sit down to eat, then suddenly several explosions occurred. as we can see, more than 5 explosions on this empty land. if we said there are missiles, tunnels, or resistance fighters here, harness to god, i would not be upset, but this is an empty land and here their civilian c o is very strikes, have also damaged buildings in lebanon. now in this video, you can see one of the victims near their damaged house following the israeli attack. la guest ali yar political unlist and international affairs adviser from lebanon. but he says the rocky fire from lebanon into israel once have been possible without approval from hesper,

is why it's targeted. many do so many open in failure, 11 in south of lemon, all and one outside. if only seen in camp at which being that is why don't for to go with an open war with all and wants to prevent any, a comprehensive escalation with humble law. but at the same time and the f one to wish and was level off, it'll be after those workers just saw this is fatima south of 11 on yesterday. and i can and in my opinion even is why lamed ham off for this attack. but no one can carry or launch walker's constructive lab on, on with the concert without the, without any coordination without any readings from hasn't lost on this area. which

means that it can be, it could be in by august mass masters to foster what's happening. i saw some of the stories now over in france for half a 1000000 demonstrates as much on thursday for the 11th day of nationwide protests against a controversial pension reform bill. ah, fallen demonstrations fled up across the country with clashes between processes and police, drawing concerns from the council of you human rights commissioner, protest as digital the traffic near the capital's main airport, as police responded with arrests, unfair gas, other classes come amid

a deadlock in debates between the microphone government and french groups that once the controversial pension age performed to describe a wednesday unit officials met the prime minister for thought was the act vis later bonded a failure photo says, claim the french government isn't communicating with people. and so in these, in the mind, in democracy, we're still doing that on facebook. today, we have the impression that we are faced with a deaf and dumb government that is not very good at communication gesture. we have the impression that emanuel micron has absolutely no interest in what is happening in his own country would be at the end of the day, the government is taking advantage of the nuances of the law to go beyond democracy . did they did well, that's how it's done to force its way through. we are trying to show that we are many, and we are strong in the face of this government. good. i'm here for the 11th time because this reform is unfair, creates inequalities in a lot of injustices. it is part of a political project that is unfair to me, while the french president is in china holding salts with seizing ping on the war

in ukraine and accused moscow of escalation them, that nuclear weapons should not be based in the territory of a non nuclear country not referring to the recent agreements between russia and believers, does french shares the opinion that nuclear weapons should be completely excluded from this conflict that all international treaties and this issue should be respected and the no circumstances should nuclear weapons be deployed outside the territories of nuclear powers, especially in europe. in this regard, it is necessary to remind every one of the responsibilities in particular russia, which a few days ago announced its desire to deploy such weapons to bel roofs which does not comply with the obligations it is assumed to you and to us and to international law over this appears to contradict the policy of some european members of nato. you've been hosting us news for decades. washington has been basing its b 61 tactical nuclear weapons in germany, italy belgian. the netherlands answer,

kia, the number of american war heads in europe is estimated. it's around $150.00. and then an interview with archie, the 1st deputy permanent representative of russia to the u. n. dementia polanski. we spoke about the western double standards when it comes to us nuclear weapons deployed in europe, and how he believes the u. s. undermined international treaties concerning technical 2 birthdays, playlists, russian, china is our trusted and proven partner, a faction determined by the recently adopted join to russia, china's statement. we know that our cooperation worries many countries because in the western vision, russia should have been isolated for, as they put it, aggression against ukraine. in fact, though, every one is well aware that the true causes of the ukraine crisis are much deeper . and that it began much earlier than the 24th of february 2022. our chinese partners understand this very well. they have their own history of double standards

from the west. our partnership with china is not directed against any states. we stress that all the time, we want the constructive approach to prevail and for the west to stop pursuing its interests at the expense of developing states. we are categorically against it. what a multi polar world has become a reality. and only the united states and its allies are trying to cling to a self proclaimed u. s. supremacy. no one appointed the united states as the world's policeman. arab countries understand the crises to which such self appointed world policeman lead. we oppose had gemini, we stand for a just peace, for indivisible security, for a security architecture that is fundamentally different from what the united states and nato allies are trying to impose. the chinese and void to russia says that europe is in no position to lecture beijing while the chinese for ministry has pointed out nato's role in the war. and ukraine, as, as beijing continues to push back against calls from the u. s. lead block to take

sides of the conflicts lead from down to me as further responsibility on the ukrainian issue. i think that the united states and the military blocks such as nato should take responsibility. nature has no right to criticize china or put pressure on it. jim correson not exactly on every scene regarding the car you should not say for example processing sanctions providing arms through friends. 7 side or has pro i economy a huge economic aids to, to keep all, none of which are tallahassee, that child provides mature age to going, but not as little bizarre. oh, for sure. for more assistance to or to keep our chinese position as you, charlie. ah, the power certainly is different. as you probably know, there was just a minister or a natal, our foreign minister meeting

a few days ago on, you know, this is something that they use very concerned about. data is nato's a. clearly nicholas look eastwood expansion into the asian pacific region. another news is, seems the 2 main rival us parties have a consensus on the countries global power states. us now both the democratic party candidate for the 2024 election and the former republican presidents. now candidates of course have lamented that the u. s. dollar and the economy as a whole been weakened, as well as agreeing that washington's a foreign policy is leading to the country's demise. lottie correspondence, kennimore, pin pixel, the story. a blast from the past. robert f. kennedy junior, the nephew of j f. k is running in the democratic primary. he's going to contest joe biden, for the presidency, the nomination, or the democratic party in 2024. the 69 year old says that you as head yamani is deteriorating because of what he calls neocon projects in iraq. and ukraine,

the collapse of u. s. influence of with aggressive projections of military power. the neal come frost $8.00 trillion dollars. hold out or middle class made the laughing stock of u. s. military power and moral authority to china and russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the door as the global currency cost millions of lives, and done nothing to advance democracy or when friendships or influence. now on the republican side, many of the candidates including former president, donald trump, say the country is headed off a cliff. fast country is going to hell or currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard. which will be our greatest defeat, frankly, in 200 years, there will be no defeat like that. that will take us away from being even a great power. countries moving away from the u. s. dollar is a big deal and it's happening fast. brazil, china, india,

and other major countries are starting to do their transactions in different currencies. saudi arabia is making the shift to as well. all of this comes on the heels of a very important meeting between chinese liter. she's in ping and russian president vladimir putin. now the favorite tool of u. s. leaders to smack down countries. they don't like sanctions may be rendered useless, as we see ongoing landmark, political and economic shifts. we won't have to talk about sanctions in 5 years because there be so many countries transacting and currencies other than the dollar, that we won't have the ability to sanction them. so who is actually responsible for this? well, the united states can only really point fingers that itself. the real threat was the unprecedented economic sanctions that joe biden was allowed to. in fact, encouraged to impose those sanctions. you'll recall we're supposed to hurt russia. but even in march of last year, it seemed obvious they were gonna hurt united states, much more than they hurt russia. here's what we said 13 months ago. we should

prepare to lose our position as holder of the world's reserve currency. these policies have driven russia. china, india, turkey, and other countries to accelerate their flight from the u. s. dollar. now to be clear, that's the majority of the global economy. this may be the most reckless and destructive thing. any american president has ever done with united states, and let's not forget the national debt, sending billions of dollars to ukraine, isn't helping that out by any means, as pointed out by some american politicians. among them is us senator joe mansion who says he's considering a presidential run. he says that running up the payments owed to creditors for the country. is downright malpractice. america is fast approaching another needless emergency, the raising of the national debt ceiling, ignoring the debt and deficit implications of these actions as the time news to raise the debt ceiling isn't only wrong. it's policy and political malpractice,

a bipartisan group of presidential hopefuls who all agree on one thing. the current administration is running the economy into the ground. and joe biden has a lot to answer for. even as the white house says that the 80 year old still intends to run for a 2nd term. caleb martin, r t new york. the film a vice chair of the libertarian national committee of in vara. well, he says, the u. s. should stop being the world's policeman and concentrates on his own domestic issues. many people in the united states, and more specifically, many people inside the democratic party then by which i mean democratic voters are recognizing that american foreign policy that's based on invading other countries. that's based on trying to control of the countries that's based on focusing on everything that is not really the purview of u. s. government. the united states, spend name money and resources on something is not our problem and not our business

. the government needs to realize that it purview that the purview of the american government is the united states of america. it is not every single country in the world. it is not to protect every single country from every single other country. and that's have been the foreign policy over the last several decade, which is wasted, money is wasted, lived, it is made america less safe. and if america stop doing that, we're going to be safer. we're going to be more prosperous if we can stop. if we can stop trying to be the policeman of the world and stead work on making america the best country that it can be and over to the war in ukraine, wherein done yet at least one civilian has been killed in 13, injured as parts of kids latest rhonda shutting according to local officials. the queen tubes, 5 bars of rockets are the 50 hitting and outdoor markets and destroying every shop on the streets. on the ask officials report to the several us supplied m l

r s. rock. kids were also among those identified to getting the city was just, you know, this comes as people near the front lines continue to flee to don. yet in search of aid and protection, with many receiving medical treatments and being provided refuge in special senses . are these room cost of reports? one of those facilities, as the russian forces continued to advance kinda nets people's republic. a more if you jeez, arrive in temporary refugee centers because of their houses have been destroyed by ukrainian forces. now this is just one of these temper refugee centers. as you can see, people here they get registered, they're given basic necessities because largely when they arrive here, they come with absolutely nothing. just a clothes on their back. here they get so documented, they receive food, they receive the necessary medicine and of course, they'd fill the horrible tales of how they lived last few months store injury of

the ukrainian military was forcing people out of the basements so that we would not live there. they just kick you out without any sentiment and say, go wherever you want. if not, they threatened to kill you on the spot martial law as they say, what were so we didn't live in basements. we lived on the ground, florida. we warned ourselves with an iron stove and cook the food right there to set the righteous level ship a ship on march 10th, our russian guy sent us to the basement, but they said that we would be guarded. then they came to evacuate us and we walked through the mind. it was very scary. we were shot at and we know that it was the ukrainian army that fired at us. it to the bid is jelisa. i already had 3 refugees living here and then more came those who lived nearby. i said, well, where can i put you? there were grandparents a family, 3 people and me. we'll state at my place while we were working here had the temper refugee sensor yet another trap truck with more humanitarian aid arrived in order

to help all these ricky gees full arch, almost cloud. once this particular truck leaves, there's another one waiting in line to deliver shibby tarion aid for these people who experienced a horrors in their homes and became and battlefield room on call for have archie than escrow public. moved on. now, the nigerian government has secured $800000000.00 from the world bank to expand its social welfare program as the head of the removal of petula subsidies coming up this june. now the funds are set to be distributed in cash to as many as 50000000 people from the most vulnerable social groups. nigerian government hopes it will help ease the setbacks from the phasing out of the popular but costly actual subsidies, the nigerian governments and billions annually from oil exports petrol in the come in the country would be unaffordable without cheap subsidized fuel. we spoke to

patrick casias, who's a senior lecture at nigeria, so university, he thinks that the money from the world bank major, the country further into debt essentially toward bank. and perhaps i may have continued to a mish african countries into endless borrowings on decks. we are told presently dot no, the wad box is given a grumbling our drop right sample. what each one read $1000000.00 we are told about to say to grant, we do not know the conditionality attached to eat. when we are told i to say, grant longwood, expedite is for free, but quite often, some of disgruntled looms are tightly annabelle fondest formalities as well. for me, it doesn't make sense that it's new for africa, frontiers will begin to move in, wants to address it. speaking problem not read out, i'm going to the i may find what every now and then i'm to collect loans that are tied to dish analogies quite often. took this one fees. it when the more dean jack

done, it is expected. and now to south africa, where in the province of god saying, 11 cases of color have been confirmed including one death since february of these crumbled subtler pixel. the story how thing is the exit that runs the south african economy? it is the smallest of all 9 provinces, yet it is the most populated, constantly swelled by migration. but holding now also has 11 confirmed cases of cholera and one death since february this year. with 4 of those cases coming in this weekend alone. yellow as the country we are concerned, of course, up to this number was these numbers are the 2 numbers to play 456 up to live in store to say, i think mumble swear, casey says consent process department, what does it just me populated area led to tips lot or let somebody or the

we are very consent and as we type or used to intensify our public health, if you see it in such a mobility, according to the national institute communicable diseases, the 1st 2 cases of cholera were imported into south africa by patients who had traveled from allowing but later infections show during trend, most of the cases now i now dubbed indigenous because the patients hed international travel. by definition, the detection of locally acquired indigenous cholera case means that it should be declared an outbreak. so why haven't the south african health authority declared it a such are formal definition or a cholera that has been decided on consensus definitions by the global task or some car, a control together with the world health organization. and according to your day

definitions, i'm lucky acquired indigenous cases, which is what we have seen now over the last 2 months. do you constitution operate? cholera is an acute daryl infection caused by ingestion of what type of food contaminated with bacteria, the breo, colorado. it can kill within hours if left untreated. you could take river water for example, and treat yourself before use. so preaching water really is extremely important and also just food safety is extremely important. it's not just the water that's consumed, or people are exposed to at these sorts of religious or traditionally

beans, but it's also the food. so who is hanging, the student must make sure that their washing hands before touching the food banks or that the food is washed in clean water and is cooked properly before consumption. i went into the you and sheldon's fund. this is the was color outbreak to its ups are in africa in years, and is already unraveling in 10 other african countries, including right here in south africa. in the coming weeks, provision of save thinking water and sanitation will be the priority for authorities. but as is the case with many other diseases.
