[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, divide and conquer, that's the task that china is using against the west, at least according to the u. g. but our comment is less than 2 weeks after she made a high profile visit to beijing. fighting radio for a 5th day and sudan. rival fax it bring me ne, african country to the break of a humanitarian crisis. washington tries to tighten the news on a wrong program by imposing new sanctions on all companies accused of giving to rock a helping hand. brushes ambassador to be exclusively to

r t. after the times newspaper deleted his comment about russia's fans on the war and ukraine to share your thoughts on media. freedoms in the u. k. the sins of shipping, but it is a becoming one of the more serious the website is view that this being sports by u. k. a little in many ways with people to know to make your view in order to make their own judgment. a coming to you live from the russian capital. this is r t international. i'm rachel evans here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. the head of the european commission has accused china, i'm engaging and policy is meant to divide the e u. her comments notably, follow a recent trip to beijing. a strong european china policy relies on strong

coordination between member states and you institutions and on the willingness to avoid a divide and conquer tactics that we know we may face. we have already in the recent days and weeks seen those tactics in action. totally because of china that european countries have different needs and interests and are standing up for those interests. i want to have french president a minor and michael feels about when ursula here suggesting that he's been manipulated by china when he's really not doing anything more than just evoking that totally rational and common sense need for france and also for other european countries to cargo their own path in their own best interest, independent of both washington and beijing. just a quick reminder of what michael said recently that has an elected european bureaucrats like vandalized, so bothered and had european diplomats running to complain anonymously to the western press. is it in our interest to accelerate the cries of some taiwan?

no, the worst thing would be to thing that we, europeans, must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the u. s. agenda and a chinese overreaction. and also remember that european council president and former belgian prime minister shalumi shell also confirm that in the back rooms at the e. u. leaders are quietly increasingly agreeing with michael's position of strategic autonomy. but for i'm elected you bureaucrats, light vonda light. it's always just about keeping up appear, it says of uncompromising unity at all costs. even if countries have to be bullied back into line like poland was recently overt wanting to protect its own farmers from a glass of ukrainian grain by fanny and along with hungry in slovakia were experiencing the same issues. but it wasn't long before poland. even the big cheerleader for ukraine in the us threatened with being labeled pro russian by some e u. heavy weights to pressure war saw back into the unity at all cost lane.

so you're getting countries have disagreed on everything from weapons for ukraine to anti russian sanctions. and it's not because some foreign po, he man was pulling their straight. but really just because some of them actually might want to get re elected or hey, you know, they might even feel some sense of responsibility or accountability towards their own citizens. why? because at the one that i'm elected, you bureaucrats probably really don't give down about. and it bottom, i can't tell the difference between unelected versus elected officials, which she seems to be, have some having some problems with. here's a bit of a hit. he elected head of state medical in this case, got the state dinner in china, the, on the elected bureaucrat underline, did it, and tried to grab dinner with some pals and also had to go through normal airport security with the great unwashed masses on her trip to china with the french president,

and now that she's back in europe while she really didn't waste any time in brewing up this speech about quote, the need for a coherent strategy for you china relations. okay, then how would everyone just uniting in europe, in adhering to mac holes strategy of not jumping aboard the u. s. anti china bandwagon and just dealing with china like a deals with any other country. borderline reiterated europe longstanding one china policy. ok, so from that point, what's the problem? you're not going to be in lock step with every single one of your train partners on . absolutely every one, by the way, there's been no but now essentially doing whatever wash other situation there is so . so it's been meto the, the cow, the ration around the pentagon side. mr. sorry to this is this for important points . what is the u. s. in the western countries as being rating down western brutal capitalism on the whole war? that is very critical. that 2nd,

that america transfers in the democracy for you if you, even though example of a breaking in other countries, sometimes in germany, in the aftermath of the war in a train, when the year of last economy political independence and they don't ship as a train car of the american train. com or have the fighting is continuing to rage and sudan between rival military faction. that's after a c fire quickly collapse with both sides training blame. there were loud explosions from heavier tillery fire in the capital fighting was reported at the sudanese army headquarters as well as the cities international airport, where large plume of smoke could be seen below going into the sky. but it has a merge of a badly damaged hospital and cartoon. there are numerous reports of are rapidly

deteriorating humanitarian situation, according to a doctors without borders representative on the ground. the circumstances are dire and getting worse with hospitals unable to treat people due to power outages and the lack of equipment. a local journalist took us to the latest. there are $39.00, most of those are not our service. civilians cannot be used for their houses. there are millions who are stuck right now on the bike. now it's possible inside their offices, every one of their houses they cannot reach. their houses certainly cannot provide for themselves on a part of your mentor and cannot wait for the citizens right now. because there are lots of classes going to the suite stop now. the citizens cannot go to buy their own for to this next or not go to the hospital. as i said earlier, the citizens are not leave their houses to buy everything they are in need of

support pharmacists are not tell you this is going to change. so you want to take off their uniform and we actually cannot get our log. washington has strengthened its grip on a wrong drawing program, imposing new sanctions on iran and its allies. that includes chinese and malaysian companies who will now be blacklisted from the u. s. market and have their assets frozen to go further in depth on this. let's cross live now to our correspondent use of july joining us from pe wrong use of as good to see you. now, what can you tell us about washington's the latest sanctions against iran? well, as you mentioned, washington once again targeted god, these long about with this time it has targeted the one in drone industry, very key and sensitive industry which one has made

a significant progress in lead and recent years. so the sanctions based on a statement released by the us treasury department target a procurement network is procurement network comprises, saw some up front companies acting on behalf of iranian electronics companies and some suppliers of key electronics equipment that those people sent the needed equipment for it want to try to develop its own a local u a b. so this visa from companies are based in china, hong kong and malaysia. and of course, iran, one of the companies, one of their wanting companies that has been hit by those sanctions, is how goes on see them on armando, the name of the company's shortly known as pos. not the head of this company is also under those new sanctions for a sanctions evasion efforts. so this is the new development with regards to our a rhonda iran has in recent years i've made significant advancements and the drone

technology for it all started back here around a decade ago, back in 2011 when he was 1st brought down the american r q 170 on it saw border with afghanistan, and in the, in the kosh, marin county, when i want to, and engineers commandeered on that are key 170 and safely brought it down. and then they reverse engineering data. american r, q 170 drone, are released and unveiled are the iranian version of r q 170. that sent the stage for iran to try to step into the realm of the u a v technology and try to develop its own drones. and today we're just yesterday we saw a range of surveillance recognizance and combat drones paraded. and he on the army day whenever nationwide parade was taking place around the country to mark the national army day and the country. so it one now claims to be able to produce

a range of drones with different applications. and that prompted the united states to try to step in and pull the plug on the iranian drone industry and decide to impose those new sanctions on these la mckorick moment. important updates there are t correspondent use of jal ali joining us from terror on. thanks so much for that day. let's bill the africa together. that's the theme at the african continental free trade area business forum which has taken place in cape town. the mid april for up brought together business men, investors, representatives of walt, i, national corporations and government leaders. their agenda focused on developing a sustainable environment for africa as private sector in africa, and on trade and investment opportunities in the region r t spoke with the south african deputy trade minister, who said the conference was organized to accelerate free trade in africa. this same

very much mr. sent their program. everybody agrees that to read a few of the african and programs have been implemented to the speed with which we've been able to implement. ready here we, we are now on cost to ensure that they can be fun to ration of implementation during our head of state and government in february of this year. i believe that for the african, you know, on the theme of dca is going to be that celebration of the african african continental free take area or take or respond and grovel is i last spoke to a coffee company, c e o. and the executive chairman of the average of an african consulting group. they said the forum helps develop business,

an african trait this conference is all about. it's about inter africa trade in what inter africa trade looks like is coming to places like this, or finding a place where we as africans can gather and start talking about business and not just talking. ringback about business, but actually signing contracts, affecting business because trading for me as just like you saying you want my product. i said, okay, fine. this is the price i can sell it to you for. this is where the contract looks like. and then we go from there, what you plan to do is to align our self as africa block to compete with as a market. we've, as a book economy book, such as china, such as are you or usa and are any other partners. but we think that this is just distracting, the beginning of a long journey along done. we know that we still live many challenges, but human beings are there to,

to overcome. although salad and this is opportunity for me to congratulate is felicity, one kilometer, which is really doing a very, very good job. we've all is tim. and i also recognize do a photo for a fixing bunker, which is a, a finer finger esthetician, which is really helping the promotion of her into africa trip rush as a master to the u. k. as claiming censorship as becoming a serious problem in the country. does after the times newspaper deleted and interview it did with him about the war and ukraine. in the article, the envoy had noted that both kiev and its western backers, and says to russia must be defeated militarily. he said that makes it unrealistic to reach a potential p still other russia is ready to negotiate. the ambassador was speaking exclusively to my colleague unit o'neill. did you ever have

a feeling during the discussion that the piece might not be published or removed? i was pleasantly surprised when i have seen the text over if it was reflecting it has no reflecting what i have said without distortions or taken are you just taken out of context and i wonder how cedar. so the potential was on time, so that respect and better port newspaper that they had to remove the article and had it is not revealed to those the audience. it is quite clear that press or was it better suited the newspaper to do a base, which he's saying by itself, that sense of shape the best exist for should be in the united kingdom. you talked about the, the balance of the piece and that's what a lot of,

of commentators under the piece had to say as well. so it does lead to the question, why do you think the times took to decision to take down your interview? i don't like the phrase and that will stand them, but it looks like if this is the case and the censorship in a breeze is becoming more and more serious in, during the course of the conflict, is well known to your channel. of course, as a understand that was many people here in britain are thinking differently and to your point of view which does not coincide with the narrative that is provided by the government. and the majority of the papers, newspapers is being requested of the people would like to know what is happening in the world. in general, it's not true to late. the reason because of the conflict is complicated

and the website is view that this being sponsored by, by k, i with them. and i think it is in many ways you've said that moscow does not intend to keep taking the initiative to improve russian british relations. but at the same time, is that where the interaction with london is not over. so how can such a stalemate continue? politically, luggage is destroy the whole architectural ventilation ship starting from political, economical. and going down to, to the culture science education liaison between the cedars and all the rest of it. but they're the same time. i'm not saying about the rupture diplomats relationships relationship between 2 countries. and they count about 450 years. and we have difficulties at different times. they have ups and downs

to disrupt relationship. it happens only when the 2 countries are in the state of wor, usually, of course, for us, it's important in this difficult, really the content national situation to maintain channels of communication. and as far as i understand also officials over london for me yesterday and the government of the, of the same to you or that we should keep context and deeply gaze. and although this many areas are what i was as for normalization of corners, it is no the issue for today or tomorrow, these or should be the day can be opened. women, confrontational, i and i have been asian that those our can to me and we will be stopped and

prepared to take into account also. and not only think you get both dominance and in addition to impose it. so if increasing involvement by london in ukraine is seeing how do you assess the risks that the possibility of britain coming into direct conflict with moscow? britain is involved in many ways in the quote, it is blank are a lot, a lot of it is now. so to say in 2nd, least in the, to after the united states in doing these, it is providing as a blank key for financially. and i know that if it's a life when i'm in it besides this training, i wonder if you could and you know, not only officer spots, also special specialists. and we know that, but it is specialist, they can. but in blending corporation in the euclidean israel, and providing them with a sensitive information,

they had also that that's also britain. since i've taken part in combats where they are in the ukraine. and so it means that the britain is going to deeply in deeply, in this conflict. and so far we haven't seen any common sense in relation form and sense of the but the official london. it's continuous escalation, continuous in that sense. and a step by step stakes are higher and higher in order to, to make these strategic seats in don't believe it or european countries criticize african nations for expelling western journalists who engage in anti state activities. but as you laid out earlier, at the same time, century russian tv channels, including our own, those same european nations don't appear to see any contradictions in their actions . it seems to be

a trend that's growing from the general view up on the world to be she has recently been expressed by the high representative for the european union. the oil international service has said that the europe, this is a flushing problem. and protests of the world dangles. this is a scene which is totally wrong. and i think i believe that it will only it is to exist when the west will come to an understanding that the voltage multi pooler and is the i don't suppose that the others how to behave the 1st place that they should also realize that the mistake and you are the candidate those who do i think there's a common knowledge of the depleted uranium has been used in all risk armies.

mcdonough to best automates in germany, for instance u. k. and france as a part and parcel of other forces. it has been used during the war in the former yugoslavia imagined 99 and also in iraq. as for us, we will continue to explain the basis of all this studies that has been done in belgrade for instance, that you're in the uranium is polluting and contaminating the environment and water and especially and it results into the big grows on colleges. psychological diseases, genetic again to genetic corrections among children. so it will allow us for at least 6 in junior regions. so this is a terrible thing and if it will happen in the ukraine, it will be, it will be trouble for the agriculture and for the people that are leading over,

we've been watching major geo political offense on for really rapidly of late. do you have a sense why such fast paced changes are happening? know, instead of national political system is changing, will that turn the current the actually it has started not, no, not a year ago. i think that it has started in the beginning, in my interest, or even probably in the end of the eighty's. this is a painful and low political process and we haven't just entered into the new baseboard when some countries has to change it. because the collective west of commerce, they are they don't like it at all. they are trying to prevent and protect the position of minutes or below the dominance and the not do. they don't want to take the these multiple abroad in which they have to leave. so what

is happening in the, in the korean right now, it is just one of the stage of big global reconstruction, political and political processes. and we have to leave with, they're probably going to be coming to in the years. so let us hope that the common sense will prevail and we will leave through these these fully notable. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates was the right back here at the top of the hour with with
