livelihoods under the block, struggles that deal with an overflow of the food staple, african states face shortages in the sofa unfold fil western with from moscow to the world, this is your r t international without your company today. my name to, to know the saudi foreign minister has met with syrian president assad in damascus . the 1st top level meeting between the 2 countries. in 12 years, a solution to the conflict in siri was top of the gender. our resumption of diplomatic ties was discussed as well. we know, potentially ending the serious decade long regional isolation. r t correspondent, maria for national delves into how the middle eastern world is blazing forward with new and renewed alliances, leaving a neutral world power hang on the side line tectonic movements in the turbulent

middle east. where more and more countries and forces decide to take the path of friendship with in the most recent move, saudi arabia's foreign minister visits syria for the 1st time since 2011 when the conflict, they are started in which re odd and other gulf states supported this theory, an opposition the 2 sides discussed the necessary steps to achieve a comprehensive political supplement of the syrian crisis. that would, and all its repercussions achieved national reconciliation and contribute to the return of syria to its arab surroundings. and the resumption of its natural role in their world. saudi arabia is now expected to invite the syrian president to re odd, as well as to the arab league summit. next month,

damascus was suspended from the organization following the war. not all support the idea, but some show firm solidarity like the united arab emirates that recently displayed the syrian national flag on their bush, holly find to buy an owner of the 77th anniversary of syrian statehood. ah, in another hasn't happened in a long time. stab saudi arabia has just now received the political leadership of hamas, the milton group ruling garza, the 1st such visit in more than 15 years. and before that also managed to reconcile with its original rival iran. half to 7, 10 seer is the 2 countries are reopening. they embassy soon with a litter is exchanging neutral invitations. the breakthrough deal was brokered by china and praised by many the palestinian islamic resistance movement. hamas

welcomes the resumption of relations between iran and saudi arabia. this is a significant step to unite the arab and muslim world, boost security in understanding between the arab and muslim nations and the chief stability in the region. in this wave of original normalization, it sounds like some one very important as missing washington with b gene perform in all the hard work it was left on the sidelines, not willing to lose another chance of playing a role. it now promises to push the saudis to make friends with israel. a toll saudi arabia, i'd like to upgrade our relationship. we have to do it in a way that would be reassuring to our friends in israel present. barden is very interested in normalizing relationships with saudi arabia, in turn, saudi arabia, recognizing the one and only jewish. they take a lot of effort, but it's worth trying. israel, it seems once this badly,

we want normalization and peace from saudi arabia. we do that is perhaps the, the giant leap forward towards ending the arab israeli cove. this agreement could have monumental consequences, historic consequences, both for israel, for saudi arabia, for the region, for the world. but so far, reality is holding back saying that won't happen until palestinian statehood goals are met. with the reasons escalation in israeli, palestinian conflict and the news rally government choosing a hard line regarding palestinian affairs. that's unlikely to be any time soon. the international community has been alarmed. the us has been promising pressure when it's middle east ally israel, but things only get worse. now china, the deed, what the u. s. failed to do in bringing saudi arabia and iran together. staff saying a stir early to say where the china or anybody else will succeed in helping israel

and palestine. find a path to a solution reef notional r t from jerusalem. yes, this maria just talked us through china has offered israel and palestine a path to return to the negotiating table to settle or decades long dispute. the chinese foreign minister held separate coals with his middle eastern counterparts and said beijing is willing to take a role in bridging the divide. china encourages both israel and palestine to show political courage and take steps to resume peace talks and is ready to provide convenience for the move. be jing always supports the strategic autonomy of middle eastern countries and supports them in holding their future in their own hands. china has no selfish interests on these railey palestine issue and only hopes that israel and palestine can coexist peacefully and safeguards, regional peace and stability. ching gang statement comes amid rising tensions following a slew of recent clashes between as really armed forces and palestinians. earlier

this month is really defense forces rated the alex and lost in jerusalem during ramadan evicting and arresting those inside one of his lunch holiest sites. protestors had barricaded themselves in the building of that time. the moss was close to visitors, throwing rocks on fireworks and soldiers who tried to remove them. the show of force from the idea brought widespread condemnation from the arab world. subsequent rocket attacks from garza, unless beneath her tree were seen to well, i spoke to russ feingold, a political risk analyst focusing on asia. he says china will be welcomed by palestinians as a mediator, but the as really administration is unlikely to support them. in recent decades, israel and china enjoyed very strong relations, especially in trade in more recent years. technology trade. and that's actually got

some criticism from the united states. and israel is been under pressure not just on technology, but also infrastructure investment as well. so looking at it from a distance, here we go back just a few years. it was actually i nomic had switch where many decades ago, china had a good relationship with the, our world, which was at war with israel. and that's our namak has switched in recent years where china had a very good relationship with israel. from the palestinian perspective, they're going to welcome any middle person, especially a country with as much influences, china that says we might want to play a role. but then again, at the risk of going in circles back my eyes, israel to say, well, what exactly is chinese motivation here? just putting up to one side, broad knowing that the close ties between israel and the us. how would you think washington will react to the piece propositions of beijing?

would washington support if they saw that asian was making progress, making inroads in some sort of peace settlement? do you think they would get on board? or just as a matter of principle, step away or be negative, good motivation from abided administration should be negative on. this is probably going to say to china, well if, if, if you have time and resources for the middle east, we deal with iran and the nuclear program 1st. and we'll take care of israel and palestine. i think that would probably be the realistic approach from the by did administration. i wonder to be frank, it's just, well, no, they were a bit surprised or caught on aware that china was mediating between shout iraq and i ran, i don't think they have high expectations again that, that i, china could really mediate between israel and the palestinians. ah, continuing his tour of latin america rushes,

foreign minister as hell talks with his bolivian counterparts where they discuss bilateral relations and outlined future plants. the top diplomats met in the venezuelan capital correct, while emphasizing the long history of relations between the 2 countries. sir glover off reminded his office number about the standing invitation of the countries president louise r k, to visit russia. the russian foreign minister also met with venezuelan president nicholas mcgriddle in rocca's. mr. lever offset both countries of an understanding and how to develop bilateral projects. and coordinate in the international arena, despite external pressure. r t spanish correspondents, simeon syndrome is following circular films through their russian foreign minister, sergey lovegrove. had had a meeting with the vin as well. and president nicholas madura at the 1st image is that was so we could sir, judge that it was quite a friendly meeting,

moments them before our searcy, lovegrove had also a meeting. so with the vice president delser rodriguez and also with their foreign minister of will when as well as even here i s a you can imagine they, i talked about and their relationships and between and their 2 countries since yes, switched from naga nowadays, the collective west is trying hard to, we can independence across many regions in the world. that's why it's so important to unite efforts to counteract the attempts of dicked at blackmail and illegal unilateral prussia over the past few years. it's become clear to every one that dependence on the u. s. dollar dependence on those principles of globalization that the americans themselves have been introducing for many years. does not lead to any good police principles, including the free market, say, competition, the viability of property, the presumption of innocence. all these principles shared by the americans and their allies can be broken in a day, if they need to punish someone for disobedience,

if they need to get their competitors out of the way they spoke about our their trip there, sir, gail, of rav sir trip through latin american countries and especially his 1st step and brazil because after he says coming to brazil, the united states are criticized their brazilian government and they untold that brazil had took apart in the ukrainian conflict. ah, the russian part. but brazil only said that they wanted and they are their western countries to stop sending military r h a to ukraine and start their dialect. also how you can imagine and they spoke about their pressure that uses the western countries against her nations like cuba, venezuela and russia are both when as well. and russia agreed to be against sasha economic, her sanctions, blue,

showing me what appeared frontal. we will always condemn the measures that apply to any country. the united states is systematically attacking our economy, trying to strangle it. and at the same time, they talk about opportunities to improve dialogue between venezuela and them. but in fact, we have not seen any eason of sanctions and economic improvements. and we are telling the united states and europe again that the sanctions should be lifted. because until the sanction lifted, we will not be able to talk normally with these states. they also spoke about our different her treaties between the 2 countries and sergey love. roth announced that for the next scholar year, russia doubles their scholarship. they gave her to win as well, and citizens. so are they could sir study in russian universe that is also survey lovegrove, and announced that russian sportsmen will participate in alba games. now we are waiting on for the next stop, because right now our survey, la rove,

is going to nicaragua. just thing with this story earlier, political analysts and global trade special john hovel exposed to the program. he believes u. s. economic pressure and latin american countries have made them turn to other allies such as russia. what we've seen during the last 2 years is the result of the over use of sanctions. what they do is cause countries cause companies cause individuals to look for other opportunities and venezuela, nicaragua, and cuba. they are all under us sanctions and they're, they're pretty tough sanctions. but there's one commonality that those 3 countries share and that is the sanctions haven't worked. what foreign minister law for off is seen is a door opening. and it's not necessarily that these governments may 100 percent

embrace what the russian federation represents. but they also look at the alternative to the north, which is the united states, which is only trying to get them to change their ways through the use of sanctions . and, and sanctions are becoming a bane of the united states, an increasing number of countries. look at the united states, look at the u. s. dollar in a negative way. now after the recently of classified pentagon documents, which allegedly revealed at washington has been spying on its allies. it's southern neighbour house, responded mexico's message. your agents and operatives are not welcome here, ortiz che both takes us through that. mexico's president lopez abra door has been pulling no punches as he warns the u. s. that mexico won't tolerate any repeat of their historical interference in his country's internal affairs. that as recent

media revelations about how the us spies on its enemies and friends alike, a highlighting increasing tensions with its closest neighbor. not willing access spine cannot be used to find out what our security institutions are doing. and furthermore, with the arrogance of leaking the information to the washington post auburn door was referring to a league u. s. intel report that suggest increasing tensions within different branches of the mexican army hubbard or later met with the usm pastor kent salazer, where he made it clear that mexico will not accept american agents operating on mexican soil. not pointing out that it cannot be foreign agents in our country. no, we can share information, but its members of the mexican army, navy, and national guard, who can intervene is this all comes as the u. s. drug enforcement agency claims. they've recently infiltrated one of mexico's biggest drugs,

gangs with 28 members of the infamous sin, a lower cartel facing charges for smuggling fentanyl into the us. of course, the united states, as for when it comes to covert operations and mexico recently declassified documents, even suggesting that back in the seventy's and eighty's former president joe say, portillo was essentially a cia asset bill stir. that's noted that mexico will soon have a new precedence and manhood have control of liaison for a number of years. a memo was focused on j. f. k, assassination. and how lee harvey oswald, had visited mexico prior to the dallas assassination. this led to a vast cia surveillance operation with a ca tapped phones and spy on senior mexican politicians. unsurprisingly, portillo is not the only mexican president alleged to have worked for the cia with numerous mexican presidents being implicated as c. i a operatives from the 1950s

right up to the 1980s, but it seems the current mexican president is in no mood to play ball with the cia nash almost. we're not a protectorate of the united states or a colony of united states. we're not going to allow any foreign governments to intervene in our territory, much less the armed forces of a foreign government. mexico is a free, independent sovereign country. we did not receive orders from any one. the people of mexico govern here. not getting on honor. they still have not abandoned the monroe doctrine. they do not want to change, so they believe they are the government of the world. they assumed themselves to be the government of the world. so, as mexico lays down the law to the white house, it seems unlikely that the u. s. will change its behavior with the unfortunate reality remaining. that whether you are a friend or a foe, it seems uncle sam is watching and listening to your every move. at least 29 people are dead and dozens more injured now after

a blaze broke out on tuesday at a hospital in the chinese capital beijing. the flames quickly spread through the building with heavy smoke and block passageways, making escape extremely difficult. people were seen clinging to ropes outside hospital windows in a desperate attempt to stay alive. early reports suggested that the fire started during construction and renovation works, which ignited from about pain. so this site, several people among them, the hospitals director, i've been detained for questioning over the fatal incident. ah . e u countries have distorted the principle of the green deal brokered indiscernible, which aim to provide safe passage from block c porch, the countries most in need of the message from russia's foreign ministry, spokeswoman re, as a harvard in fact, having spit on the original humanitarian goals of the estimable package agreements

having signed incomplete disregard for the needs of countries in grain and fertilizers, the europeans threw all their efforts into satisfying the growing commercial appetites of kias and solving their tasks of stuffing warehouses with cheap ukrainian grain. will some updates on the situation, poland has now agreed to allow ukrainian grain exports to pass through its surgery . it comes to several other central european countries, a bomb he has agricultural exports to their market. you members say the aim of that move is to protect local farmers from the low import prices. warsaw as a broad turn is at odds with romania slovakia. bulgaria who protested against the increased influence from nuclear. we're talking with the e. u, as well as with ukraine to find solutions. we want these products to go to europe, but go deep into europe. the whole idea of these european grain core doors was

supposed to be to get grain out of ukraine to feed poor people in africa, asia, and the middle east by the green ended up getting as far as neighboring, poland, hungary, and slovakia before j lost in domestic markets and driving down local prices, basically just dis of barky, somehow, lake clueless tourists and mixing in with a locust supply to the detriment of domestic farming. but in the meantime, holland is just agreed to lifted ukrainian grain ban magic right? surely it's just a coincidence that the move comes in the wake of the european parliament's largest party accusing poland of siding with russia along with its fellow band partners hungry. its lakia. european governments must not talked in dutchman to solidarity for ukraine during the war beforehand in laterally decided to block expert ways for ukraine. in gates, we need to have detailed information and why does grain you are the products who are not transit it further out of europe. any unilateral action by member states would only be a move in favor of russia,

but european interests have long been marginalized in favor of you a absolutely everything through the prism of either russian or ukrainian interests . but even before poland caves on the ban, the ear bureaucracy was dropping his about as subtle as a sledge hammer about who really calls the shots for poland. trade policy is of exclusive competence and therefore, unilateral actions are not acceptable in such challenging times. it is crucial to coordinate and align all decisions within the you just a little reminder there of precisely how much autonomy and sovereignty european countries have over critical economic matters like trade. and that would be, well, absolutely not at all. the you would apparently rather dumped millions of euro's eyes of the problem in an attempt to bury it, than have a country take any initiative to fix it unilaterally. because it's apparently

important to keep everyone united aboard a seeking ship, then to have a breakaway to plug the whole we're dealing with the war, right? and this will, has consequences overtly on farmers. and more generally, the population of ukraine and the european union and its member states. poland has been leading the charge in brow beating its western european benefactors, germany, and france over dragging their feet in supporting ukraine with weapons. the polish president is also arguably the winner of the unspoken contest among western officials. for the most passionate hug with ukrainian president vladimir zaleski. they really should have gotten a room for that moment. but suddenly, when paul is interest clash with ukraine's, he still demands top priority. the decisions of the polish side contradict our agreements. we understand that polish farmers are in a difficult situation,

but we are for side that ukrainian farmers are in the was difficult situation right now. but while e u countries are busy arguing with each other, african countries were supposed to be the big beneficiaries of the ukrainian brain program. and if they're counting on your up to get moving on needing brussels on stated objectives for the program. while they could end up waiting can other news line to day china now prohibited at companies to do business with to us weapons manufacturers accusing them of directly supplying taipei. the 2 firms have long been involved in arms sales to the island to taiwan, which is of a malicious nature. so we decided to prohibit the 2 u. s. companies from engaging in import and export activities related to china with the aim of preventing chinese products for being used in that military industry. some background on this in september, the raytheon corporation was awarded a $412000000.00 contract to upgrade ty, one's military radar,

while lockheed martin supplied the island territory with helicopters or traffic control and radar equipment. in february china, the u. s. companies to its own reliable entities list and imposed sanctions, and has not been any business being done with them. we spoke with michael maloof fe, former pentagon senior security policy analyst, who says the decision is beijing's attempt to send the political message. this is a turning to be a that the use of sanctions, economic sanctions, now as set by the united states is becoming a new world standard, i guess. and the chinese felt that these, these 2 defense contractors warranted that because of their technical assistance to the taiwanese, these 2 companies probably have some interest in china already in some, in some form of manufacturing. so that's something that they're gonna have to look

at. and i presume the chinese are weighed that before they launched their own sanctions. and sometimes as the united states, they're still go ahead and sanction a company, even though there's no viable business. and if anything, it's to send a message, a political message, and united states, as i said, has done that many times before, even with chinese companies that don't have investments in the united states. okay, moving now to the great beyond. russian cosmonaut, sir, nearing the end of their 1st space walk this year. i'd side the international space station. the waitlist voyage is expected to last at some 6 hours in total. the cosmo not doing the exhilarating work, sir. again, our copier and dmitri had tellin, are performing at tasks in scooting, connecting space modules on shoring up installation. and they had to wait quite

a while for the attempt were 2 previous walks in previous months being canceled due to a field space to parts on a qu, lindley, another trip office station incidentally, was expected to last only until december, last but a decompression of the soyuz m as 22 docking modul as extended their stay up the i assess what have you, they have as well. now their return trip is set for september. by that time, they will have set a new record for the most number of days ever. circling the earth by the way, these are just life pictures we have received what is happening now. it looks at to be towards the end of space to walk. when it is wrapped up, we will bring it to you. we can hear some of the communication between the customer right now. fascinating stuff for me here at lisa. ok, let's move all know to more cellar issues. i want to tell you apart at twitter,

users have taken him at star wars, dr. mark humble after he held a video call with ukrainian drone operators who were brandishing a notorious new enough, the emblem on the flag. i'm not hard to see the parallel between rainy and being a rebel and russia being the evil empire. it's it's, it's obvious some time family with other celebrities become.
