we will lose piece or decades. failure in ukraine could be the beginning of the end of the golden age of the west will make or break western commitments to it much will be decided in the coming weeks. ukraine's much hyped counter offensive, and success on the battlefield, or lack thereof, will make or break western commitments to it. and without an endless stream of west and money, guns and artillery shells, the conflict can only go one way. more ad gazda of archie from lucon screeching. can other news line to bring you today? russia's defense minister as met with his chinese counterpart, lea, shameful. you're in moscow in the background to that being the russian pacific fleet conducting snap naval exercises. the vessels have been put on high alert to

test readiness and storing tensions with the west over the ukrainian conflict. r t correspondent, all quarter got to take a closer look at the scope on the scale of the drills. today, the grantee is carrying out its part of the snap naval drills called by the defense ministry to test the combat readiness of russia's far east fleet. in the event of an enemy attack, this involves linking up with 3 other anti submarine vessels and conducting mass firing drills alongside them. information with this helicopter that's going to seek and identify targets in the water for the ships to launch torpedoes that we're also going to see, by the way, the might of these torpedoes in action today. so without further ado, let's get right into it. mm mm. mm.

with where they put on there for, you know that things were out at sea with the corvette, guam t meeting loud in english. it's a very young ship, just 4 years of age as well as a very fast one armed with high powered torpedoes employed and anti submarine combat, as well as universal artillery that can be used against enemy vessels as well as aerial targets. ah, the gun in the nation, another one

ah ah. rapidly developing situation in africa, the leader of the parliamentary, rapid support forces are r s f, which is fighting been national army in su. dumb has agreed to international calls for a 24 hour. she monetary and ceased far to ensure the safe passage of civilians on the evacuation of the wounded to some background on this, the fighting has been own going in the country since saturday theming a 185 lives and leaving 1800 more wounded according to the un, when they are s, f's leader alliance, the commitment on twitter and said the decision was directly influenced by a conversation with the u. s. secretary of state on appeals from other countries. so don's army has said its not aware of

a mediated truce on the move as intended to cover up the defeats of the r s. f's forces. the conflict erupted 4 days ago on the left residents dealing with power cuts, food shortages and closed hospitals. the international red crescent humanitarian group has warned that now it's quote, almost impossible to deliver any humanitarian aid to the capital. we managed to speak to a local journalist. this is has been intensified actually day after day. so as reach now the 1st day this new morning, that last is actually in its height at the moment the us, if just this one is with on the facebook page, saying that it has gone through a, it looks, it has moved in advance actually in this a lot of this, though,

we know that the south is also the guy that was with shut down because of a city and also other services the own. so, a victim of the injuries a does come with us and they gave cindy international and looking for another 2. and it was, in fact, you at the open like it or 23 and it goes to, you know, with the injuries or some more updates from the brown to tell you about an american diplomatic convoy has been attacked as well as we believe the european union's ambassador to su down a dangerous situation. all right,

officials from the us and the you have strongly condemned the incident secretary of state anthony blank and said that the national intelligence reports point to the opposition forces being behind the attack on the americans. i can confirm that yesterday we had an american diplomat, a convoy that was fired on ah, all of our people are safe and unharmed. but this action was reckless. it was a responsible and of course unsafe a few hours ago that you and bassett are in sudan was assaulted in his own residency. this constitutes a gross violation of the vienna convention security of diplomatic premises. and staff is a primary responsibility of sudanese authorities and an obligation under international law. well, we spoke with specialist on african affairs gerald horne, who said that the ongoing attempted coup in suit done may have a western banker will obviously,

washington's diplomats either or not advising the secretary of state properly. or there are some sort of hidden agenda, which is often prevalent in the us state department whereby you, us back civilians will be catapulted into power in heart tomb. and somehow the military forces will be sideline. i think this is a very, a ill advised maneuver if that is in fact what's happening recalled that it was united states under u. s. president george w bush. that pushed for the secession of south sudan, which is a wash in petroleum. it's successfully seceded, seceded from the water through den, and has been mart and unrest ever since. recall as well that some decades ago, in the aftermath of sudanese and dependence of the mid 19 fifties, it was the united states that pushed for the isolation. if not the bludgeoning of the sudanese communist party,

which was seen as inimical to washington's cold war ambitious and was a powerful political force. perhaps washington is newspaper headlines that suggested as seeking to cut a deal with one or another faction within the military. and thereby help to further isolate the sudan from its natural allies in the african union. not to mention it's friends and is the national community, including russia and china. and i would urge mister blinkin to bow to the influence of the african union, headquartered a neighboring ethiopia, which is much closer to the ground and much closer to the forces who are now fighting each other in sudan. the white house has suggested that the president of brazil, south americas biggest economy, is blindly following russian rhetoric. the accusation came just before russia's

foreign minister held talks with lou that the silver who stumps on the ukrainian conflict is seemingly calls in concern for washington. the par, discuss ways to strengthen what they described as a by lateral strategic partnership. it follows washington accusing brazil of supporting quote, russian and chinese propaganda lead to silver recently called on the sending as well of weapons to print to stop and suggested both sides negotiate to end. the conflict rushes foreign minister on monday, expressed gratitude to brazil on its attempts to settle the conflict and endorse the countries bid for a permanent seats on the un security council. from cook. as part of our common efforts to promote a fair reform of the mechanisms of global governance institutions, we will work closely together at the un within the framework of the security council, where brazil is currently a non permanent member. we have reaffirmed today our support for brazil's bid to obtain permanent membership at the security council,

just as we support india's bitterness and in this regard, we also support the need to satisfy the interests of the african continent. but while a lot of talks are ahead, brazil is the 1st stop on surrogate love. rob's visit to latin america, which will also take him to venezuela, nicaragua, and cuba. moscow's top sees the goal of the tourist, a strengthening cooperation between the countries on a whole host of france, particularly in the political trade. an education sphere, e r t. spanish correspondence. semiology center off is in brazil is a video here in the capital of brazil are the russian foreign minister has had a series of meetings, for example, he a mad so with his counterparts ah, modo, the ada. of course, they talked about. so the relationships between the 2 countries about the economic situation about this strategic corporations and brazil was once again happy to hear

that russia is in favor of feats becoming a permanent, a un security council member. and of course, they talked about the situation in ukraine in the it was somber as brazil is ready to participate in the peaceful resolution of the ukraine conflict recall and the message of brazilian president lula da silva. we support the creation of a friendly group in order to facilitate negotiations between russia and ukraine. i also repeat opposition on the necessity of a cease fire, the respect for humanitarian law and the stablish spent of a long term piece. the context here is really important because they're a brazilian president himself has had just a long i international trip where in numerous occasions he spoke about the situation in a ukraine, brazil, elisa against all for you know, right lateral sanctions against russia will. according to brenda elfman,

chief editor of the latin america focus news portal opera monday. the further strengthening of relations between russia and brazil is paving the way for a world order word. diplomacy prevails. in addition to commercial and cultural relationships, brazilian russia participate in the same is through basic articulation to breaks. and they had development imp of meaningfully condition by des, control that their nights they exercise over the global financial system, as it do counter is, is strengthen they allies alongside china, india, south africa, and all the nations of the so called global falls back towards a democratic woke order without a demo knees, we'll be easier. i believe that president lula is acting correctly when he proposed a long flight chinese presidents using being and all the leaders decoration of a group of companies willing to

a facility. they'd be negotiation unite to stay. and there were been union, together with who crane must be pressure when the stand that all new way resolve the conflict in through i just and lasting beef negotiation the u. s. government had full access to everything on twitter, including users, private chats, not the revelation that's emerged from an interview with the social media giants, new pulse, ellen musk. he late at all lights with fox news host, tucker carlson, while also discussing the future of artificial intelligence on issue the entrepreneur stresses is an absolute priority. the degree to which of various govern agencies had, effectually, had full access to everything that was going on a twitter, a blue online. i was not aware of that. would that include people's dm's?

yes. oh, nothing that ellen said in any way shocked me or that i didn't know we've even heard before time after time repeatedly that there were channels between these individuals, these folks from twitter and various government organizations. and i would go so far as the suggest that the government is twitter is social media, the idea that they're independent. none of they shocked me. i think in addition to elan must, we have to sit back and pump the brakes ourselves and ask ourselves when are we so worried about why we have been trained to hyper react to every body, daring to say something, to present something to promote something, to quote something which may not be correct. determined by home. i still go back if you want freedom, then have freedom. let's go back to the wild west. put

a big warning. are you sure you want to see or read twitter? there's a lot of weird people with a lot of weird information. sure. okay. sky's the limit. he still is talking about control. the real issue was about artificial intelligence. and let me tell you that is the issue. the proverbial issue that keeps me up at night. nothing else this we already knew about. we have been listen, we were born into captivity. anybody on this planet, in one way or another is born in surveillance. and if you think that any device you're using, whether it's the fall, is that a part of some meta data pull, you must be kidding by artificial intelligence. and here's the best part. nobody understands it. def, confusing it with robots or something or, or machine learning. so the existential threat to

everyone is misunderstood. per usual let's turn attention on the program now to the recent leaks of classified documents, purportedly from the pentagon. a wall street journal investigation stated the other pro russian telegram channel played a quote key rule into this closure. and there's run by u. s. navy veteran, a 2 ported russian blogger, and no one has done by the devilish car, which translates as don bus girl, re posted the files from obscure online chat rooms. the blogger is the face of a network of program and social media podcast and merchandise, and fundraising accounts. but the person who hosts at both us as don bus davis kind overseas. these accounts is a washington state based form i use and list of every ation of the tronics technician, whose real name is sarah bills. according to the american daily, the don bus, devilish scout or dunbar, the girl is a telegram, a kind which re posted for of the leak classified documents to it's over $70000.00

followers. the files were then picked up and spread by media outlets. while the channels a parent administrator, former u. s. navy officers, sorry, bills said that 15 people quote from all over the world run the group. she declined to identify any possible suspects on the pentagon is not reportedly looking into her involvement in the release of the documents. well, us authorities have arrested and charged a 21 year old national guard member over the leaks. american officials relates some of the documents were altered before being published. the verified files allegedly contain details of us military plans in new crane. the editor of the covert action analysis side sees the leak on the attempts to blame russia appear to point to a us disinformation company there trying to link it to russia that russia was somehow connected with this major leak. but now it's coming out that this woman was actually working for us or you know, was in the u. s. navy. so i think that very clearly at part of this information

operation, i was point to the parallel, you know, doing a song, when he leaked these incriminating documents about democratic national committee that, you know, 2016 election that seemingly an impact on the election. they tried to link of songs with russia and blame him. very likely. the same kind of thing is happening here. and they're trying to blame russia for this leak and sustain this narrative that the russians are interfering in us politics and sustain this demon ization of russia. that's fueling domestic public support for a very, a bellicose and confrontational policies towards russia. doing business in africa needs to and will be coming this year. so say organizers of the ongoing african continental free trade area. business for breaking, done not on war from the cape ton of and here's our t corresponded caroll bullet, the africa continental free trade agreement. business forum is in full swing,

giving a chance for africa to reflect upon his current position, as well as the pressing challenges that i still hold him back. the movement and freedom of trade in goods and services on the continent for africa to truly realize the full implementation of the promise of the free trade area. more countries need not only sign up, but also have their parliament rectify the deal. there are $47.00 african countries represented at this forum, but only $37.00 out of the $54.00 have signed up and rectified the deal. a lesson that south africa and madge area. i still coming to terms with we working on a project with that, with both governments in south africa and nigeria and private sector on how we work more closely together and leverage more opportunity. and what we've really found, the big a deficit is, is information. and also relationships, we don't have both countries are heavily regulated, but our regulators have not met each other, even though

a lot of our businesses are doing well invested in nigeria. so we're looking at actually how it's starting at a lot of it is starting at the base level and it's getting people to meet each other in the 3 years since the africa, continental free trade agreement was impacted only 13 percent of the commitments made by countries have been implemented, but now the focus shifts to the private sector and businesses to give for momentum to the trade agreement. free car has got potential because the african population is going to quadruple by 2100 because africa is the fastest growing continent because we're sitting with 1300000000 people, 60 percent off, which are young people. you know, so the market is right. it is absolutely the right market for the african businesses to actually see how they never really, gen ed shortly. cultivate, to leverage the these opportunities business needs to speak as one formidable voice

. even though trade amongst african countries is currently at 16 percent. it still leaves much to be desired. one of the main goals is to create more jobs. for the hundreds of millions of africans fill out of work, we would like to see i forgot to become one of the preferred to investment destination. and therefore, we believe if we really put our energy together as africans, we can be able to, to create more jobs. the continental free trade deal is coming into its own, on the. busy verge of the 2nd brick summit to be held on the african continent. south africa will, as chair, bring in more african countries into the breaks family way down conversations and africa. best be ready to leverage the opportunity that i believe had a lot of tea in cape town, or i time and moments for another visit to the world's apart studio where examiner

today is talking to an india specialist and how the south asian powerhouse is getting increasingly confident as a political player on the global arena, and i being dictated to by western partners, is going to change. this is our to international. ah, ah, ah, ah,

with ton of welcome to worlds apart. europe has to grow out of the mindset that europe's problems are the world's problems, but the world's problems are not your problems. this is how india foreign ministers summed up his countries to position, visit the western frustrate, to take their side in the ukrainian conflict. how is this war changing the balance of power, responsibility, and wisdom? it's been the so called develop and the developing world. well,
