7:03 am
yes, now the situation is it on the ground is mid events. the fight is everywhere. it's inside and around. the army hit the inside and around because then she'll bellows also inside the airport, i met some bus in years who escaped from the airport as the saw themselves, the where the data fight, and many people killed inside the international airport. then they said from the also there is a kind of exchange of musicians between the to the news and courses, the national army ended up. it's about 40, the middle of who has begun this fight in the type of musician over to the responsibility of this number of what it is. looks highly
7:04 am
according to eye witnesses in north bahati, as well as airport. but there is no official official figure given by it with that it is yet the notes, everything is in this, these are empty. everybody is in the whole city. and the situation is to very pounds between the 2 sites is an extremely chaotic situation and very concerned. and indeed, now you did mention this for that was fighting the presidential palace. there are reports that the r s f is actually taking control of the pallets is not true. what can you tell us about the situation now? now yes they are. there they out of there is a little bit. themes have upper hand so far and i have to
7:05 am
they said that the, the control limit is in shelby and the airport and other locations. but some sources from the south saying that the fighting out are still ongoing around all these areas. and just few minutes ago, we saw that the airplanes, the army airplanes that i've taken off. so it looks to me, we go into the option of error strikes in order to try stub, did it in the down button. because you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the oddest, if number of fighters on this, these, on, on, when i, as vehicles and dance. and they said in very, very intensive, neat everywhere. so the army is going to be going to be of use in the air strikes again, is those thousands of items in blankets while in different directions. just
7:06 am
finally, mohammad, how you're states the situation. so unfold all we witnessing a queue here in progress. yes. that there did it is going further in this war in order to change the game. actually because the, the, the mid 3 statements so far since morning and i was trying to mobilize the people saying that people have to support the stability of dependency and accuses me of begin in this war. so it looks like mobilizing the people or preparing them to accept any new situation in the coming hours. and finally, so one more question mohammed. now they're obviously conflicting reports and it's very difficult to, to understand what's really happening on the ground. i'm sorry,
7:07 am
even for you, then the army has claimed that the reserve has fled their headquarters and left them is equipment on the streets. do you think that's the case or is this or is this just not true? the fight and it's been there from the place where i can get the gunfire from not just the airport because they work, but also from the workers because the army hit lots of not far from the airport. so witnesses and some employers in the sudan state brook gust in mind is that out of out of if has taken over the, the, the, the, the brought us probation. so that mean in sudan, traditionally when there is a minute that it's announced from the national broadcast probation.
7:08 am
so, but that is that there's not really much because even if they did it, they did the out of title and now and something of any they didn't. again, death itself is still 5 people on the streets and the using of the air is like making the balance of ball into coming hours. well, thank you very much for your time. look, a journalist mohammed. amen. thank you very much for breaking down the situation on the ground for the loud explosion has been reported at the fishing ports in the japanese city of walk. a yamma near where the prime minister for female kish yada was set to speak and he was evacuated from the scene . the the local media suggested may have been a smoke grenades,
7:09 am
a 24 year old suspects has been detained according to local police. they also said they found another potential incent device after the arrest. no one was harmed and gave a speech at the end of the venue and above definitely fulfilled. party leaders have drawn me condemned the attack. that comes just months after the nation's former prime minister sin joe vin job, a was shot dead with a whole made gone during while he was giving an address in july, the perpetrator nuts incident said he was dissatisfied with the ministers policy. as your political risk, analyst ross find gold speculates the motivation behind this attack could be similar. it could be with regard to a specific policy of the current government in japan, it could be something of a more personal nature. as we saw with the tragic fascination of former prime minister obligations, there is
7:10 am
a history of political assassination in japan going back many, many decades. although that is become more rare. it really does reflect poorly on the police's ability to provide production to the public events as well as for intelligence gathering and we look at other countries. now that is a topic of brain discussion, right? we're always hearing from the united states, for example, whether it's investigating groups on the left or the right and both sides them pointing fingers say you're growing too far and you're interfering in what's normal kind of public discussion discourse or even arguments over policy issues. but again, it does, it does indicate that japan police and intelligence agencies do a whole lot of room for improvement in the work that they do. and in bordeaux, from a car has driven into a crowd of demonstrators running against controversial pension reforms in drink 7 people. the. 7 7
7:11 am
you can see the car driving into the rally in this postage, knocking several people off their feet to hospitalized initial report suggest the driver lost control, and he and 3 passengers were detained at the incident occurred just the day before during a protest in paris on friday police, you've got them, but songs against protest is marching through the capital torching garbage cans. in the city of ren demonstrates is also started fires engulfing the entrance of a police station as well as the local monastery protest continued throughout. the night. citizens express frustration over the bill that's being pushed to fundament without the vote. ah, ah,
7:12 am
the french president signed the bill claiming that the reforms are essential to prevent the country's pension system from collapsing, which is why the government says it had to use a special constitutional power to force through the changes without a vote last month. nation, my demonstrations opposing the reforms have been ongoing since january and according to trade unions, they will continue to rally for me, today's the ultimate slap in the face of decisions that are anto craddick decisions that no longer reflected all the democracy that is supposed to be in france today, we will continue protesting in the streets. if nobody was helping for any good form the counsels ruling, we all knew that they would decide this will, the will, the movement will go on, but we won't give up, never give up. it will go, they don't know what's coming for, then we will go until the very end. if we have to block the country, we will move on. now. the west needs to stop encouraging the war in ukraine. hans brazil's president says, as he concludes his visits in china,
7:13 am
what ought to pay the important now another important country is the united states . that is, the united states needs to stop encouraging more and start talking about peace. it is necessary for the european union to start talking about peace of iffy during the visits brazil's president also called for moving away from trade in dollars as, as just ahead of the trip the 1st the to completed their 1st transaction in you on the chinese president said that bolstering ties with brazil is a diplomatic priority for his country. the top level meeting the side, same several agreements. annex changed views on international issues. as a sub officials say, their country is free to choose its trade partners. this is thought we must overcome the previous stage of isolation from other states. the country cannot be isolated from others. brazil has the size to be a partner with big economic blocks and other countries and bilateral agreements. so it makes no sense to choose to be closer to one country in order to be further from
7:14 am
another. i am our china is brazil's biggest commercial bod now in terms of the direct flow for an investment. but our relationship speaks for itself and to day in a symbolic and political point of view, the state visits speaks for itself as well. earlier we spoke to people in the streets of brazil who shed their views on us. had gemini it is it helps of, it is important not to leave only the dollar as a paradigm it's, i think there is a need to diversify and also understand other mechanisms, other ways of establishing a common currency. china as brazil's best trading partner, they have a lot of technology, a lot of knowledge that could be used in brazil and help us to develop i think you think it is important for countries to use currencies other than a dollar. because if we have a problem in the stock market crashes, it's a global problem. if we have commercial transactions taking place in other currencies, we are also avoiding possible future problems. washer key. so you can clearly see
7:15 am
that the united states metals a lot and international relations, especially in the middle east and in other countries affairs that have nothing to do with their politics. i think they just try to benefit. they don't care much about the rest of the world, but that he thought that the de lori's ation process is risky, but everything is moving towards it. after the 2nd world war, they're not, it states accounted for more than 50 percent of the world's g, d p. and now it produces no more than 20 in general. the monopoly of the dollar in international trade is incomprehensible and inexplicable. i think that brazilian president little is right, our trade turnover with china. he's very large. last year it amounted to about $150000000000.00. brazil exported $90000000000.00 and imported 60, which is very profitable for us. in addition, we have the bricks platform, which works very well. our representative deal morose if the former president of brazil will be in the brief bank in beijing. i think that our course is the right
7:16 am
one. first of all for investment, and most importantly, why are there no our currencies? why trade in a foreign currency? when we can trade in our own, we can decide for ourselves what is best for us and what is beneficial? lula is absolutely right. was cos live now to marco fernandez. he's a researcher with a try continental institute for social research and co editor of don shang, thanks very much for joining us this afternoon. so 1st of all, i just wanted to get your thoughts on that call by the brazilian president through the west to stop what he believes in fueling the conflicts in ukraine. would you make that? well, thanks for having me beater. well, i mean it's true. this is a position that president lula has been raising since his 1st day in office is that we need to stop this war. you remember they all have short game to brazil, like one month ago or something to ask for a mission. and he said no way,
7:17 am
we're not going to do that, but he wants to, but it doesn't want to make war because he wants to stop the war. and of course, one of the key issues discussed with breast feeding being, was his initiative to try to create a sort of a group of b, like a piece club to move forward with a piece negotiations in ukraine. well, obviously it was quite a pipe visits when it comes after he met with us present. joe biden. back in february, i do think that he's called to, to bring peace to ukraine. will, will fall on deaf ears. it will be, it will be understood by washington and will be acted upon. well, i mean, this is hard to predict. one thing that we know is that even us is starting to feel tired about this war. i mean, 1st of all, the u. s. doesn't have induced capacity to sustain dis, like war 8 to grain for long, even like washington post recently did a long article saying how much are the industry in us is about to collapse. they
7:18 am
don't have the capacity. so and also, i mean there's not that much money disposable money in u. s. the central grain, and a lot of a people a very unhappy with that in u. s. a rated, but we know that people on the top still wants to keep this war going on. but i mean, i believe that is a matter of time. we don't know a hard to predict, but i think it's a matter of time. that's more countries joined. this effort of brazil, china and others to stop the war. well, he also to support nerd. d. dollarization and oversee at china and brazil did conduct their 1st transaction in you one. do we see a shift in global politics and power bases at the moment? well that's for sure. i mean there's no, i mean, once every week there is a new agreement like you did with trying to track it already with 25 countries and regions brazil did with argentina. there are lots of agreements been done at this
7:19 am
moment among especially among the countries of the global south. so i think this is a big trend in this sense. of course, the bridge bank can be also one of the tools. i mean, you know, that right now, there is a project called project are 5 being discussed in, within the breaks thing. thanks. because you know, the 5 courtesies of bricks, countries start with r and b rebel rupees, rent and ice. so there's, there's a discussion that probably will be presented in the next meeting in durban. so that's going to be, that could be a big step for the 5 countries to bypass the dollar. and when you are the one of the ceremonies for, for the new development bank, how does it go? can you talk us through it? that was amazing. that was like being seen that history being written in front of view. of course. i mean i, i've heard that you already mentioned the speeches of president lula and also, i mean, present to my, made a very, very strong speech. and i think at this point the most important thing was to have
7:20 am
a lead, a global leader like president duma come into breaks bank because i think there was a lack of really strong leadership since the beginning of the bank. and there is a lot of potential that are still to be explored in big bricks bank for instance, more finance because so far it's like $33.00 been in us dollars is i mean we can do better than that. our 5 countries, and especially we have these alternative fund that was created. that's called the contingent reserve agreement. that could be a concrete alternative to i m f. but the thing is that the 5 countries doesn't have problems with reserves. and we know that, i mean, the history of global solved in the last 4 decades is ciocca, run out of dollars. we have to back to our math, they send money and they come with all the condition, conditional lawns, and provides a reservation. i'll start measures, etc. so this must end a, c, r,
7:21 am
a can be a charge of that, but it has to be expanded to the countries will need right now or gina badger, stan sri lanka, so many countries are in default, but they cannot access this to funds. so this is something that president do minds are ready discussing, and this could be also a huge stack for the global soft countries in the next year or so on. so it sounds very promising. marco fernandez, research with the tri continental institute for social research uncovered of don xing. thanks very much for sharing your time and your thoughts with the nazi today . thanks. be there for me here. well enough, some news from the republic of done yet where ukrainian shutting has left for people dead and wounded, including a child according to local officials. the, the targets of the city of yes in nevada, ukrainian nationalists, allegedly showed residential areas with nato supplied $155.00 millimeter artillery
7:22 am
rounds. most of the wounded civilians are set to be in a critical condition. while over in buck moods, a powerful barrage of russian artillery has struck kiev positions. if our group says it targeted one of the last from an ukranian strongholds in the 50 with a massive plymouth smoke and debris seen rising into the air. for many months back moon has been the scene of some of the heaviest attrition, all fighting in dumbass. this all comes amid rising tensions around a purported ukrainian counter offensive, which has been delayed due to a heavy rain season rod guest of observes how the battlefield has propped up a drone arms race. it has rained ceaselessly for days. now turning much of the dawn bass ceased in ukraine to these bogs and mulch. the soil is impossible for heavy vehicles and fighting his ground
7:23 am
down because of the rain visibility has been reduced. drones can't fly, artillery is swell. not exactly useless, but much less effective. which also means ukraine's counter offensive is going to have to wait for the right whether west and tags are much heavier than russian tags. more sensitive to conditions, while it weights nato funnels' in more and more weaponry for kiev. this video shows what a believe to be british a s 90. how it says being transported through ukraine. these especially are a favorite of russian drones. ah ah
7:24 am
ah ah. loitering munitions all cat, me kazi. drones have been a game changer. the specially military grade, or where the variance prized western armor that ukraine has put so much faith in has become drone fodder. now, kiev is attempting to catch up. on the 1st row glassdoor, we now have 2 of them. the 1st one was grounded with an anti drone gun, and the 2nd one was a gift. it was grounded with electronic warfare and handed over to us for analysis
7:25 am
. these are the kamikaze drones. ukraine is mass manufacturing made from commercially available parts. they fly up the line, t 5 kilometers an hour to a distance of 7 kilometers. there's no learning the sponsor with this one came with it's payload detached, quite heavy about a kilogram of explosives. it's relatively cheap because of that poor quality components. $400.00. so, so the firm, ukrainian conflict has sparked a drone arms race troops. now fear them more than artillery. after all, a shell can't follow you. a drone can for i guess the of r t from regard squeezen. china's commerce minister has criticized us sanctions against chinese companies, for a ledger ties to russia, dismissing them as groundless and harmful to business the you essentially said no
7:26 am
international legal basis in a not sanctioned by the un security council. a typical example of unilateral sanctions and the application of extraterritorial jurisdiction which seriously harm the legitimate rights and interests of businesses and affect the security instability of global supply chains. china strongly opposes them, are the share of the chinese currency and world markets has doubled over the past year. last february, the u on accounted for less than 2 percent of global trade. since then, the chinese currency has reached 4.5 percent with the you are now breathing down the euro's neck. the dollars share is also in decline as more and more traders turn to the chinese rival. cost live now to the professor the future university galvis ago. thank you very much for joining us. hey, good evening. see you certainly a strong reaction from china regarding those us sanctions. what are your thoughts
7:27 am
on the situation? first of all, the chinese government is not only criticising but condemning such unilaterally or impulse, the sanctions by the united states, against some companies that the u. s. government is alleging that they are kalu droid, the russian companies. now from the chinese perspective, such sanctions are unilateral, they are not enjoined the blessing of the united nations security council, and they are really overreaching. and this happens at the time when the treasury, secretary of the united states, the commerce secretary of the united states. and even the secretary of state of the united states all want to engage with china for talks with different purposes. the chinese government up to now refuses to given to the requests all the demands from the united states. why? because we get all these conflicting signals from washington,
7:28 am
they impose such unilateral extra territorial our jurisdiction against the chinese companies at the time they still want the chinese government to continue to by us treasury bonds or to a deal. some of the sanctions. ah, tariff related issues. now from the chinese perspective, we only have one channel u. s. relations and the united states really need to reject a unified position rather than doing different things, hurting the charlie's are fundamental interest. and disregarding the chinese fundamental interest at the time when they want china's corporation on certain things vital to the sustain, the vitality of the u. s. economy, all their finance. no, they will not get such treatment from the chinese government was said is that a mixed messages there wanting cooperation, but imposing sanctions on the other hand,
7:29 am
others is always the faith in his own economic problems are the moments now we have a short clip of the former president donald trump rebate says listen in, ask your thoughts on that. in a 2nd. i have to state the usa is a mess. our economy is crashing. inflation is out of control. russia has joined with china, unthinkable. saudi arabia, great people have joined with the ran china, russia, iran, north korea have formed together as a menacing and destructive coalition. our currency is crashing and will soon no longer be the world standard, which will be our greatest defeat in 200 years and was unthinkable just a few years ago. and think about that. that could happen. but it's happening before your very eyes less from plan. if typical flamboyant self, and obviously is looking to make a bit of
7:30 am
a comeback politically. but what do you make about his thoughts on the u. s. economy and he points the finger at the current administration. do you think he has a point or is this part of his pre election campaign? well, i think for the president, trump does have a point in pointing out all these major problems with the u. s. economy and the u. s. government's weaponized in the dollar, for example, as well as many ah, ah, man handling of our major issues in the world. and i think our former president, trump, should also really look at the real causes for these problems. and i don't think a brushing them aside or accusing the current administration headed by president a by itself will solve the problem. some of these problems are deeply rooted, some are systematic, some cannot be dismissed so easily. and i would say that if.
