lead counseling, decide a position before i being an issue, or any kind of food can rich with camtree's being like state the united states, a with billows from the airport in sudan capital after a fire or rod, that's as foreign national. i've been trying to flee the country during a 72 hours. these fire between warring factions, concerns, grow in washington. the vast sums of money being sent to frame could be stolen. that's as the total us expenditure to p ad since last year. is that just their past all the funds given to afghanistan over to decade period, with dozens of ministers in uganda based trial on

charges of stealing building supplies earmarked for the nation. for us, we hear from outraged residents who want their political leaders held accountable. they're not stealing government, doug? still, you know what goes we pay thoughts and we start. nope, that's the only way we've gotten with coming to you live from the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of be our welcome to the program. and we begin in sudan. we're a fire hazard wrapped in the nation's airport during a scheduled evacuation of foreign nationals. that's the area where foreigners from the u. s. u. k. france and china are said to be fleeing from the conflict and the north, east african nation. the rapid support force are fighting against the national

military, currently control the airport. saudi arabia has also sent enable ship to the city of port sudan. and so far it has evacuated more than $150.00 people, including saudi nationals and citizens of neighboring countries, such as guitar, egypt, and india. meanwhile, jordan has announced plans to extract people from the complex zone and italy has transferred around to doesn't to neighboring egypt. the measures are taking place during the 72 hours c fire. although the true has been frequently broken by sporadic violence, local journalists on us this report despite the death throes that has been announced by the boat, but warring parties her from since yesterday from the 7th day. but we, we also had a lot of gunfire. an extension of shelling and bomb being there was

a huge no and a black smoke all emerging from their costume international. airport air which prompted their student is a civil aviation also to issue a statement bad. the gottom international app or will remain suspend? i mean, we remain shut down until the end of happening. so as i speak years, the cartoon international airport is not operational. and her hair, which is, which is making it very difficult for the diplomatic missions and un employees and other foreigners who are stuck here. so dan is stranded with and they are unable to move. the only move that was made possible and 7, this morning was at the more than 11000 from the saudi arabia. they were able to travel by road from cartoon to port sudan

in the east. i because of the. ready red sea and there were, you know, received there. they could not receive it. i mean they couldn't get any obstacle along. ready durable, so that is the only and the 1st question process that had happened seems but the remaining, the rest of the nationals, i still is that within talk of the americans, the ration and the chinese spanish. everybody's still stuck in stay with the income downtown and my dirt of their residence are also within the areas of the hot spot within that among the both. but this was so up to this moment or the, the question process seems to be impossible. the moment on friday, much of the muslim world was marking and of the holy month of ramadan, when in sudan paddles overshadowed celebrations. as gunshots rang out across

cartoon and heavy smoke billowed over the skyline. the un said the humanitarian situation is edging towards a catastrophe. despite the dangers local still went to prey pamius who them, in sudan is destined to face hardships. it must be god's will that we spend ead mixed with the sounds of gunfire and the taste of blood instead of what we had hoped for, eat with sweets and with pace trees with happy children and with people greeting relatives. the situation is difficult. it was a hotel, a last advice to these troops is to stop this war. i swear that there is no winner in this war. there is destruction losing and robberies and i will. we hadn't found this eat at all while there is sadness for the lost lives. the destruction and looting has been a more belief this. it is different from previous ones, as it comes well, we are on the bombing. we're the pure blood has been shed and the chair that people

are living in the past days as the blessing of security has been taken away. both of them came to find the culprit for the unrest, and sir nan media outlets had been pointing the finger at russia. the wagner private military company has been accused of supporting opposition forces against the countries military artes corolla has more western media has never needed encouragement. to blame russia for anything and the past week in particular, they have really loudly stood on mountains and bang the drum about how russia and particular, the vegan. a private military group must been blamed for what's happening in the sudan rushes, the paramilitary proxy group. wagner has begun to try and influence one of the parties. russia is miss enter a group. wagner has been arming sedans, paramilitary, rapid support forces via libya, a russian re supply campaign, backed by a key regional plan,

aimed at turning the tide in sedans. war in favor of the ourself, i emphasized once again that the wagner, p, m. c, is in no way involved in the soonest. conflict, and the questions of all the media regarding any assistance or nothing more than an attempt of provocation. therefore, we will immediately report such attempts to the u. n. does you're trying to rock the soonest. boat is, it always has failed. not only was redone, but the region as a whole. there is still insurgency, even despite the better part of 2 decades in that region, thing that they will help to stabilize it. this of course follows lightly from the overthrow of the libyan government and one mcgaffey, and then a set of the cad amongst the pigeons. in the us a hell as it were. but no one dares to mention that russia has no interest in a broken sudan. in fact, they prefer as a downloads functional,

the leader of the vegan, a private military group has offered to send a plane full of medical supplies and offered himself as the mediator if necessary to help resolve the existing conflict. and for the future prosperity of sudan. i am ready to act as an intermediary in negotiations between the bodies of the conflict, the you and, and many others, one sudanese blood, and i won't peace for the soonest people. i also want to ask for the opportunity to send planes with medicines and everything necessary to sudan at my own expense. do you think that were mentioned in the way? no. not at all. they're not trying to paint a logical to her at all. they're trying to spoon feed their audiences over that. none will be the way. but surely, audiences amal, critically because the founder of the regular military group does not deny being involved in african countries. because as we have seen,

he is clearly in molly, clearly in the chair and many other countries. but therein lies the logic that he is not thin, they find a directive to destabilize or destroy anything. the wagner group did not commit any crimes. they tried to seek various crimes in various parts of the world to us. but unlike the american carmel restructures, wagner bmc destroys only the enemies of the world and does not commit crimes who arranged wars and revolutions in korea. vietnam, afghanistan, libya, syria. muslim, big central africa and so on. b, m. c, wagner later came to some of these countries and stopped the wars with an iron fist, but in no other attempt. of course though, if this one by the italian government, now vegan, is responsible for the increase in migrate through the central part of the

mediterranean. and this is all part of mosque was land to be stabilized europe and those that support ukraine. i think it is now safe to say that the exponential increase in the migratory phenomenon, departure from african shores, is also part of a clear strategy of hybrid warfare that the wagner division is implementing. using its considerable weight in some african countries. we have no idea what's happening with the migrant crisis. we don't concern ourselves with it. really. the lead wagner's been reduced to now my grand cravings. they could do in russia who's interested banking a group defend is involved in the health region that helping the country, both the children and the region all the while claiming large swedes of land. when minute the lover of was here in the continent,

he expressed the fact that molly will continue to receive the support from moscow. and that was of military hadaway. and know how, as russians will continue to train the military of molly, in order to be able to fight, this is a failure on its own. of course, that might be just too much good news for the west. got it? will it had a lot of, he drives back a political advisor for sudan rapids support forces. so the opposition group is open to pete talk, but with conditions to dana, montana was a we don't mind considering mediation. all we ask from the mediators is that they do not seek to take advantage of the situation. and sudan, sudan is important to the whole world. we are for any initiatives that would stop the fighting and would carry out the surrender of abra hahn and bring him to justice. the initiative should be offered from an impartial country from

a country that can objectively assess what is happening on the ground and not through media reports. i think it's up to the people sedan to understand that america has never been there to be friends with anyone around that make us out. it's all political and a national interest until a russia and the russian federation getting there for my use. a fact is known to have assisted many, but it shouldn't been on the continent. and in this case, once again, it seems coming to off at the set a quote for the people. so that to kind of have a delivery and it comes on what they say and have independent for employees in the country. so whether the se offer from one is going to be accepted by this, the people i think they have to look beyond that to offer. and they look at their long term interests of this menus. people

a comes at a time when the americans have been trying to so discard the incident to russian issue as incident. whereas we know that america has been in that particular region and many other pass on the continent trying to kind of d. c bullish tactics in, in the national geo political affairs and mental and can do many of the african countries in affairs. meanwhile, and molly, an attack helicopter has crashed in the capital. a local journalist gave us more details. yes. my, let me talk to of this afternoon around 1 pm in the neighborhood. dr. markel, according to this message from the maryan craft was on the truck in the shop. so of

the processor turning from the promotion on a mission moment, the number of victims is not yet know and it is on of a father crush us to know. let me tell you in your shop house arrangements are on the way the access the situation and also to provide helps to victims and minimize additional damage of his cash. comes off the money on the mine, an army in savari city in some sort of money in the ukrainian president hometown. the angry relatives of conscripts had besieged a local military center in protests that their way their loved ones are being used on the front lines. that's made claims for training the quality of equipment and

apparent human wave tactics. ah, it isn't a much he at all, did you? that's all you mean to me. i never knew who am i this comes as he had has reportedly intensified its mobilization efforts. i had of a hi lea anticipated counter offensive against russia reports or just some of those being sent into the war zone. haven't received any combat training and, and verify video will show you next is claim to be other ukrainian soldier complaining about conditions after apparently being sent into what's been done, the meat grinder and back to you on the one you see,

i was on my way to work right in the bicycle, then i was pulled over by a police car. they shoved me to the car and sent me to the military commissariat. straight from there, i was conscripted to boot without any combat training the same day the showing started, and i survived by a miracle. however, that narrative has been completely dismissed by the ukrainian deputy defense minister as russian propaganda. in all the russian narratives of the mobilized troops are immediately sent to back moot without preparation. in fact, there is mobilize, who have not completed military service, are sent to training centers due to the large scale war. the training of privates and non commissioned officers takes place on a reduce schedule. but without reducing the quality of training. on top of that, western media headlines continue to talk on the coming counter offensive, and it's a parent i chances of success despite the reports of difficulties,

human rights lawyer, martin goals or leave the key. yeah, it's been filling nato's desire to wage war on russia. nationalist for susan horton, nationalist forces in the crating of the human year of the u. s. and also major one wall to be conducted on and one of the ukraine to offensive or is not enough and not. and so it's clear that the government and some are line us in the natal states. they just make the people creating that the people are russia to week terms of an ongoing conflict. and so they are negotiation. so because q government should be concerned. and of course, if your government shouldn't recruit, so just call the street and put people in the front lines which are not school,

but they should stop the war and get a real problem. and of course on the surface then another problem is many of the ukrainian young man, they don't want it was for some less a. busy i think that is again, so your monitoring role and i think that practice should be contact us inspector general for afghanistan. reconstruction has warned that the record amount of financial aid being sent to craig is at risk of that with the war for nation becoming a potential bottomless pit for washington's cache. just look at the amount of money we're spending in ukraine is about a $113000000000.00. that right this summer we will surpass all the money. we spend

full reconstruction, which was the train advise and assist mission in afghanistan for 20 years. this summer we will surpass all the money we spent from marshall plan to rebuild all of europe after world war 2. that money is flowing like manner from the sky. if you don't get in there soon, you're going to see pill fridge. washington has provided ukraine with around $30000000000.00 and financial assistance along with tens of billions and security aid and billions, more and weapons and ammunition. overall, the u. s. has approved a $113000000000.00 for ukraine and just over one year, approaching the total amount spent on afghanistan over the course of 20 years. so let's take a look at how it compares to funding for the longest war in u. s. history. seasons, 2001. the u. s. has been over a $150000000000.00 on afghanistan. just under half of that figure went to military hardware and nearly 40000000000 was spent on both economic and humanitarian aid.

the u. s. inspector general also spoke out about continuing issues with the aid to afghanistan, saying that after 2 decades the lack of monitoring still remains a problem. the 2nd problem is right now we're paying the salaries of all ukrainian civil servants who. ready most of them and who's paying them us aid and usa is pumping money in giving it to the ukrainians to pay the salaries bus in afghanistan, the department of defense was involved in paying the salaries and over 20 years. it could not come up with a system to guarantee that we've been paying the salaries of real afghans. this comes as a group of us lawmakers wrote a joint letter on thursday, calling our president biden's policy towards helping crane and saying they will oppose all future aid packages. if the goals aren't clear, a proxy war with russia and ukraine is not in the strategic interest of the united states. our national and economic security demand and alternative unrestrained us

aid for ukraine must come to an end. and we will adamantly oppose all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring this war to a rapid conclusion. democratic candidate for governor of kentucky, jeffrey young, believes that when it comes to corruption, both kiev and washington had their place full. i would say that ukraine is probably the most corrupt country in the world right now. and the united states is not far behind. they're totally corrupt tier. most are political parties routinely rig their own primaries. that's corruption, ignores the will of the people and civil actions that were meritorious. that's one of the worst things a judge can do. we have corruption at every level of our government here

in the united states and in kentucky. and it's mostly concentrated at the top. a former governor of kentucky shed a fish raj from the head. and at this point, the united states, mainly washington, but also in every state, is a rotting fish are, alas, of corruption, scandal has rocked uganda with dozens of ministers charged with feeling taxpayers money. this is unprecedented in the history of the national resistant movements administration. all this had ministers and dame peas are connected to the diversion of fire and sheets. man's folk are a mojo province and does directed by the president all must be taken to court unknown. so the charges a phones culpable. this video shows roofing supplies intended for people in one of the countries,

forrest and most unstable regions. the officials are accused of embezzling funds, which had been here marked to provide housing there. it's led to a massive public outcry and demands for the prime minister and vice president to be prosecuted. they don't look at that in principle. then along with some people they serve them so they're not still in government legs. yes, you said stealing i what not. because we pay talks and we start to look, that is the only way we can benefit. i believe when they're asking for that money. they asked for that people param, again it for themselves. i did them very sedan. we replied in court, select others learn to do it because or before need is serves liver. not stevie moscow in beijing are sectional currencies. russians, deputy prime minister claims the move has been expedited by the current circumstances and then to which and soon as many was the trend is changing, the dollar and the euro are being used less and less given the problems we face

when we're trying to pay with them, we're now switching exclusively to payment in the national currencies. the you want and ruble are in demand. now this trend will continue. our colleagues from china are already paying for gas and oil in you on and rubles. meanwhile, poland and a trio or baltic states have called on the e u to expand sanctions on russia's gas from bank, and to remove it from the international swift payment system. the lender remains one of the last routes for european nations to pay for ongoing russian energy supplies. given the bank's role in the russian establishment scheme to embezzle state money and the kremlin use of the bank to advance political interests. the swift thing of gas prom bank of priority and symbolic importance. the proposal also suggests banning the imports of russian aluminum and diamonds, as well as imposing limits on a pipeline which supplies europe with oil. nevertheless, despite many western countries already banning imports of russian oil,

they still receive it through 3rd party countries. instead, this chart shows how it reaches its final destination. you took the most with 17000000000 euros worth of purchases. australia claimed 8000000000, followed by the u. s. and the u. k. the main goal of the western sanctions was to cut russia, offer revenues. however, chinese import russia. crude for example, are set to break record numbers. the latest data shows a record $2000000.00 barrels per day, arriving in the country for marcia, by pipelines and ships. political and international relations specialist partners long told ard he that a trend of emerging is emerging of developing nations wanting to trade directly with each other. the or conducive payment system in china and russia as well in the country. we will continue to benefit from these sanctions in

the long run. because what we are seeing is the western countries and the are the countries, especially the country in the global south. they still need to trade. and despite that, china, russia were apparently as selectively screw that from this trading process are the countries countries in the global self, they are also being tapped into and getting activity even more actively involved in this or trading process. we are seeing a trend in the global scale of what's going on on this whole process of the coupling. because the global solve, unlike what happened in the last cold war, global self position in terms of the pet chasing power. and that in general, in the greater power capability has increased significantly. and now because they, they choose not to side that either side. so they are running on their own. we're

looking after their own interest. the indian government has submitted a resolution stating that legalizing same sex marriage would undermine religious and social values. the country supreme court begins hearings on the matter a valid marriage. she's only between biological, male and biological woman. any equality offered to same sex couples goes against really just valleys and seriously affects the interests of every citizen. in response, same sex couples and activists have filed dozens of petitions as part of a lawsuit. fighting for their right to marry. the move comes 5 years after the indian high court overturned a longstanding law that had criminalized homosexuality. today's hearings come at a time when numerous l g b t groups are lobbying for better representation. however, not everyone supports the move. many subsea gallup, if you can modest,

in my opinion, it is wrong because there is no such thing in our culture. marriage can only be between a man and a woman. my generation can't support a law legalizing gay marriage. i absolutely don't see how such a law could get support in the supreme court. there needs to be a law against that. that's what i want when that message, as a civilian, bigger, khaki, odd, skeleton beach and the modern generations or future ones. think that if we follow western culture, we will become more modernism from my point of view, this is not true how things used to be what our culture is. if we embrace that, we will move forward. this is more modern. if we talk about india and our culture, we need to promote and i'll get a good tilly. i feel it should be legalized because you know, love is love. so at the end of the day, it's the person's into this choice. and i think nobody answered how that choice should be making that choice for you. so that's, that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. was he right back here at

the top of the hour? ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race group is on often has very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah ah ah. 2 2 there's

a dichotomy around whistle blowing in south africa. on the one hand, there is an unusually large number of both public sector and private sector whistleblowers who have reported on waste, fraud, abuse, and illegality in the country. the culture is such that whistleblowers feel compelled to go public with their concerns and with reports of wrong doing. on the other hand, the united nation says that south africa is among the most corrupt countries in the world. and every time we hear about a south african whistleblower, we inevitably here next about the nightmares that those whistleblowers have had to survive. i'm john kerry. aku welcome to the whistle blowers ah many of us came of age in a business or a government culture where we were taught to follow orders.
