sure that there are no independent players in the world anymore. mm. ah, defense ministers from the shanghai cooperation, oregon like say, shouldn't gather in new delhi for a key security summit marking the 1st time since deadly border clashes. i wrapped it in 2028th at the top military. chinese chiefs, i've travelled to india. we'll go live to our correspondent moment plus, bashes between the warring sides, continues in sudan crisis and bloodshed seas no n. after a ceasefire to live on, the eve pushes back on our proposal to bond fishing methods that are devastating stocks in the indian ocean. as the block ticks the lion's share of the couch, local communities under livelihoods with

live across the globe. this is our teacher national. let's get into our top story this friday. the defense ministers from the shanghai co operation organization member states. they have gathered for a meeting in new delhi. it is significant as it's the 1st time in years that talk beijing, military officials have touched on and india following tense border clashes at the start of the decade. security increased partnership. there are 2 of the agendas, top topics today. well, let's cross live now to the indian capital and speak to host the worlds apart and rti oksana voice co morning to yonah. i'd suggest the seo defense ministers won't be short of discussion topics. take us through what's ahead. good morning, unit, and good morning to all are we were supposed to

o rama to reception in 2001. the high corporation organization gave the act most priority to international. i'm particularly a regional secured and that's going to be no exception this time around. although i have to say that the scope of this organization has broadened as the number of its participants. and at this point of time, if you're nice 8th eurasian nations with one more having an observer status on the axial private cell phone being the world's largest. * regional organization goals in terms of geographical and in terms of population covering more than 60 percent of the region land mass where more than 40 percent of the world population leave with the combined gdp exceeding the 20 percent 20 percent of the global 2 d b. now these here is somewhat special because it is holding a rotational presidency. and that brings totally new dynamics to the whole ascii

or for my because since it's foundation, it was, i don't want to say dominated by lab, but lab primarily by china and russia. but with india and pakistan joining this organization together in 2017, it created a somewhat new platform i saw with new negotiation for my because of, you know, it's a secret that india has somewhat tasked to relations with both pakistan and china. and that means that the ass your is now having to discuss know, the only possibilities for mutual cooperation and some sort of coordinated security strategy. but also, you know, some age old problems, border disputes, issues for now they have been pretty successful in doing that. now this year in particular, come to the very,

a global security 1st and foremost because the warning ukraine is still raging. it directly affects one of the founding members that is russia indirectly affecting pretty much everybody else. it also comes to the time when china, one of the founding members, is really finding it down on the international stage, becoming far more proactive when it comes to conflict resolution. having successfully facilitated reconciliation, diplomatic reconciliation between the saudis and the radians and recently appointing a special representative who was trying to do the same on the ukrainian fraud and trying to explore possibilities for peace reconciliation in the ukrainian conflicts . and finally, as the ministers have started gathering today, news a coming out from the goal among about a renew tension between iran and the united states. with iran. seizing an oil tanker bound for the united states and the united states,

putting it on the higher alert now, it does not directly affect the assad, but iran is in the final stages of joining these organization. and any instability on the all market global oil market is bound to a fact old the i c o members. and finally, one thing i want to mention is the, the philosophy of the rationale of the ascii or is very interesting. as i mention, it includes some of the old age, old enemies rivals as well as allies in the bruce. and that creates a very broad spectrum and new form i for discussing aged old problem. but it's not about competing, it's more about understanding each other sensibilities communicating your position strongly and trying to find a good between the 2. and i heard the number of the officials called the chinese

military strategist sound suit who sat 2 and a half centuries ago. that if you know yourself and you know you add them, you don't need to fear or result of a 1000 battles. and i think that applies to neighbors and allies as well. if you understand where each particular country stands and you understand what your own interests are, you can explore the common space between them. and this is what the ministers will be attempting to do today. yeah, it never seems a true word was said this year in particular, doesn't it? oksana, thanks very much for the host of worlds apart here in art. see international design that boy will are corresponded john quarter brakes. donna, how new common goals, cooperation have replaced the years long contention among those se members. i states meeting of the shanghai co operation organization sitting old rivals down at

the same table. china's defense ministers making his 1st visit to new delhi since a deadly 2020 sino indian border skirmish and after 18 rounds of talks aimed at using tensions. indian defense minister was not sing categorically conveyed the development of relations between india and china is premised on the prevalence of peace and tranquillity at the board. us, he reiterated that violation of existing agreements has eroded the entire basis of bilateral relations and disengagement at the border will logically be followed with these collation, the 2020 skirmish took place in the disputed border region of le dock in the western himalayas that killed at least, 20 indian and 4 chinese soldiers with both sides, putting the blame on the other. it's just one and a series of scraps that dates back decades. but with the chinese defense ministers visit and pakistan's foreign minister joining the meeting. it looks like diplomacy is on the agenda that despite decades old sour relations between new delhi and

islam of odd and wide spread opposition and india to the participation of pakistan's top diplomat in the summit. but india has not back down on its invitation. and that's a move beijing is more than happy with no ga, the china in pakistan, our old weather strategic cooperative partners and close friends. the weiss, chairman of china's central military commission, said that no matter how the international situation changes, china always gives pakistan priority in its neighbourhood diplomacy. the shanghai cooperation organization consists of 8 member states, 42 percent of the world's population, and 25 percent of its g. d, p. formed by china, russia, and for central asian countries back in 2001. the organization was and is still intended to counter western influence in the region with the ukraine conflict in full swing and multi polarity growing throughout the world. groups like this one

are more relevant than ever. but earlier we spoke with strategic efforts expert, hamid can alicia cri, he sais, the s c e o is the perfect platform for resolving conflicts, including the indian pakistani border dispute. we think is very important situation. i mean, we have seen that the boxes have. ready ready can be discussed and needs to be resolved and i think it was very good platform to resolve issues and to do the giant not because broadly, especially when we took into the world tradition situation or what 30 percent of the world of g d p is going to see you countries over 40 percent of the entire population is part of the country. so i think it is very or if it would be utilized properly, the stroup i would definitely has to stop negotiation,

especially as long into the main lead. i think what has to understand why india. busy ready junior, follow them, they need to resolve issues by dialogue. and i think what she supported after you would be ready to platform to resolve issues between boxes and india. and it will bring the piece to the world as in update on the story we have been following. for some time, fresh plush is have erupt. it in the sudanese capital between the army and the rapid support forces. part of military grouping. the african nations military have reportedly gained the opera house in the east nile area of cartoon. some of the latest for the cheer shows, soldiers celebrating after seizing r. s. f weapons and ammunition. several parts of the city have reportedly been

bombed with the military deploying, or force jets to target the opposition function. it comes as both sides and the conflict are using heavy weapons to bombard each other in the renewed fighting a local, corresponding sentence. this report. the 72, our sci fi, our pro horn by the u. s. on so the kingdom did not go as blunt on completely failed. the armies are crossed. are students on being are assessment to repair this was vehicles intern are still warming in many residential areas in hostile and complete disregard of the ceasefire agreement. clash is going to to what intensive re between the army and the roughness of our forces resulting into more casualties . this is denise doc, north union, city of the 72 percent of hospitals. neither of the justice areas which is $59.00 out if your hospitals in the capital understands are of the out of service. on the $22.00 hospitals are currently operating on some of them provides for us and only so far, 6 ambulances, health unit that we're not allowed to,

which to enjoy people with intent or just being collateral damage. i talking local hospitals on health syndrome accessor past the crisis and hospital as many civilians who are seriously injured you to a shell on the local medical center in your money. some neighboring countries are suggested hosting the leaders of the through the news conflict, uninvited them to a dialogue that might lead to ending this crisis. this is denise arm for assess, did not comment on the previous international apiece. however, the office of the army spokesperson is stated that we're on we'll see that you got initiative which decided to assign the presidents of south sedan, kenia and g. 40 who are on proposal stories on the on conflict and so done. the proposal revolved our own 2 main points, extending the current ceasefire for an additional 72 hours on sending wonder was effective from the armed forces on the counter bought from robert support for assisted you back to negotiate the details of this initiative. the are miss walker

morrison confirmed that they were hon, expressed the initial approval of all these proposals on the other side are as if a man have not responded yet to the a guide initiative. what some analysts believe that the, our staff might be open to negotiation based on their, of the previous ceasefire proposals. those are the newest people are suffering greatly in the capital without being watch or electricity banking services or even cash forest sing. some of them who knew it for the star factories to provide for their families. our full fled, she went to orient. price on, listed on the 2 sides, are still fighting. firstly, making the capitol and 10 other states. i brought a route for them at the law saying r t. so don kartel. now despite swimming it up to 40 kilometers an hour with our to pito ship body, the yellowfin tuna is having trouble escaping e lobbyists. brussels is pushing against restrictions on commercial fishing practices that have but the species of risk in the indian ocean. the european union

in a shocking generalized collusion with its french and spanish, industrial fishing fleets is contributing to the over exploitation of fish populations. the degradation of both the climate and the health in the indian ocean, as well as maintaining poverty in developing countries. let is fishy stuff because recent media reports show the e u dominates the indian ocean tuna industry, extracting the biggest couches with the help of fish. i brick gating devices are f eighty's now several ations including the mold eaves, indonesia and india of sold to instate an annual 3 month f, a d bam. the proposal originally co sponsored by kenya though has not lost the backing of nairobi. the experts from the bloom association, whom we've just heard from, have accused brussels of pressuring kenya to abandon the proposal by threatening to cut funding for other projects. as e, you fishermen say they support

a compromise. brussels has sent more industry lobbyists than actual officials to influence talks in recent years. the e u has always tried to facilitate negotiations and compromises for f. a. d 's and tropical tuna regulations in general. let's believe yellow finn conservation efforts would improve dramatically if the e you supported measures put forth by india and the multics, the controversial f. a d's resemble rafts with hanging ropes netting that indiscriminately draws in a massive amount of fish. the harvest often captures young china and have not yet reached reproductive age, leading to the pleated stocks that cannot be replenished sustainably. we spoke with an indian ocean fishman. yeah, you destroyed the environment with their methods. we use traditional fishing fortuna so that we can maintain their habitat, their use of f, a. d will of course put us in danger. usually we are using traditional fishery practices fortuna to keep their habitat and balance. otherwise,

tuna will be gone and will be affected. i think what we all need to focus on about is not about the restrictions but on our modernization so that we don't affect the environment but can have a big catch. ok. some news coming in to us from north america to u. s. military cargo helicopters of crushed in central alaska, leaving 3 service men dead and one injured. the pair were returning from a training flight when the accident occurred near the ton of healy. now the cause of the accident hasn't been reported as yet with unofficial investigation. now opened another u. s. military helicopter crashed in alaska in february, entering 2 services. ah, the former head of the south african state owned electric company, s. com, has declined to name officials allegedly involved in corruption inside the company . earlier he stated that a massive amount of money is embezzled on

a regular basis and fraudulent schemes i have publicly made the statement on a number of occasions that an estimated $1000000000.00 ran per month is stolen from asked home. this is if anything, a conservative estimate and his based on my assessment of the losses suffered by us come that have come to my attention or let's speak to our t africa correspondence. none of you couldn't gay. hi there. the story of who you brings together, 2 of the most pressing issues facing south africa today. energy and corruption. we've got the former head of esco making some large scale allegations of corruption but isn't really backing it up. we heard there with any substantial evidence take us through that on how the government's responding, if you will while of a good morning to you and to the view is watching us currency. i think it's worth noting for that this was a very highly anticipated appearance by the former c o off if come under

a later. and even though it was anticipated, it has become a bit underwhelming because there's nothing much and does nothing use that to be for my in this is called it c o has mentioned so far, especially if you consider the fact that he has been at the house for almost a 30 years, he seems to have changed his tune and he's messaging this time around. because initially we had understood that there was a minister at the center of the corruption and the looting taking place. that is calm, but not all of a sudden before this committee under the rate is i never said there was a minister involved. in fact, i said there was a high ranking politician that was at the state health all of this. but as a country, as the public and as parliament, there's so much confusion happening because not so long ago. the pharmacy, oh,

did make these allegations and the starting claims that there was people, especially in government that were cookie corruption and looting within s. com and all of a sudden that has changed. but in response to all of that, if comes a spokesperson said that in fact, they share the same sentiment that we as the public sharing saying that not much has been provided to the public to parliament even to the committee by the former c o. that has not been dealt with by law enforcement agencies, but in his defense under debaters says that the reason for his i'm claim is or for the, the reason for the unclear allegations is because the security risk that are involved in fact, his life could be in danger and also known as just mention that he did make these claims. but at that time, political figures from the ruling party did say that they will not allow under to

pool and drag the country, including the ruling party in these innovations. do not mask and difficulties because you failed to deal with load shedding in the country. now that the sale denny has chosen to depart, we will cover the immediate departure not as be hearing the those allegations at that time lead to under his resignation from the board or rather from the state own utility. i think it's very important to note that he did confirm and he did that came that he failed to to get rid of locating in south africa. and that was able to move from the former c o bus to this bold move that he continues to stay to. these allegations will probably be

a very big issue in the coming months because the committee is now trying to get the mentioned ministers to also come and clarify and put their side of the story on the table. and those minutes is include public enterprise minister, prevent done, and many others that have not been clearly stated as it brings us through that. busy from johannesburg, rti, i forget, correspondent, and you can get the ugandan president has cold on the country's parliament to reconsider its anti l g b t. legislation that was after the bill passed by lawmakers last month was really widely criticized in the with the original draft sturges, harsher punishment for homosexual activities. and in the case of a repeat offense, a possible death penalty we president, you worry, must have any say that while same sex relation should certainly be criminalized in

uganda. law makers, most quote, make a distinction between gay and engaging and the bill spark backlash from brussels in washington. the threatened uganda with quote, consequential, local politician, party ow, cool. told us that kampala is under extreme pressure from western forces, right? because the idea is to make proposals or fight i'm, it wasn't, wasn't that i, that's a by changing that bill is simply because of pressure from a, from the european countries replace your that you can countries. i have been putting the president under pressure not to say in the bill yet. it was i suggest that when, when goes on to say that bill, of course they are going to, we will define the uganda. and then of course, also when you look at the house or it did close

to about event that i sent it. it has sector, but it is funded by the american government can moving the program on the sirens, helping her to cross ukraine. the explosions were reported in several cities. this on verified footage shows a residential building hit in ukrainian city of human. 5 people are believed to have been wounded. there is no official information. on which side conducted the strike as yet. we just await verification on the moscow house repeatedly claim that does not attack civilian infrastructure. and previously, there have been several cases of ukraine's anti war missiles mistakenly hitting apartment blocks while in dunbar, in the city of danielle for children helping. when did,

according to local officials, the boys reportedly found an object detonated when they tried to push it off the road. initial reports stated it was an empty personnel, petal mine which exploded. bob has not been confirmed yet by authorities. well, with the ukraine complex, the raging many civilians in dunbar had been displaced by ukrainian shelling, residence of that done yet. republic has had to flee their homes. they have been describing to us their life in the line of fire. little stock of the union as we were afraid of shelling every day. our house has been shall twice. we live on the so called red line. shelling destroys our infrastructure. there is no military in this area. only civilians. don bass is constantly hid them. people are dying, children are dying, but we live in hell. would you let those who say that ukraine doesn't target civilians come and see how many people have been killed here, including children,

and how many destroyed houses and facilities there are. what i did, i don't under them. my parents house has been shell who was hit right on the roof. the whole house was destroyed. thank god, my parents were not home at that moment. locals have already learned how to know which side a shell him. yes, and if i tie is constantly attacked because this city is on the demarcation line. we know that ukraine destroys infrastructure indiscriminately lascivious hit badly . there is still no water in some areas and constant blackouts. ah, well a so name dumbass divorce jeff telegram channel has recently been in focus for re posting a legit pentagon only after 5 documents. so it's run by an international team over a dozen people headed by a former u. s. navy technician, sir ortiz spoke to miss mills about her journalistic mission. her personal insight into don boss on the risk of exposing r t dot com as the full version of interview right now.

the fruits of more than 2 decades of work must not be lost. that's the message from tauriel taura beany, head of the association of italian entrepreneurs in russia. r t spoke to victoria about the current difficulties of doing business in the russian market. ah, the studied massage shop in the main difficulties for us. firstly is the process of acquiring components as they could be partially sanctioned. the 2nd is logistical problems and this becomes more complicated you the cues at the borders of poland and belarus which complicates the delivery of good. so the 3rd is the problem of the banking system, especially financial transactions. the biggest advantage for us is to keep our 20 years of hard work because russia will always be there for us. and it is a market that cannot be lost, the position of year of an italy are the same, but no one has ever directly told us to leave the russian market.

mm. many of them. okay. gotcha. recently we gather a conference of various economists from around the world and every one agree that russian economy is resisting. moreover, there will be an improvement in the near future, much better than expected, not only abroad, but also in russia itself. mm. shown cbs sanctions has never worked. it's more of a diplomatic still. and the result of sanctions is always 0. sometimes even the opposite. the u. s. is the one imposed most of the sanctions now, but not because it was to help you grain. this has been done for an open confrontation with russia. president couldn't recently said that there was companies that remained in russia require assistance and protection from the west companies that left, i believe, did so because of strong pressure from outside, many companies at once invest billions in the russian market. have a very strong desire to return, but they cannot do so due to political reasons. the 10th package of sanctions

creates certain problems. there is too much control where none is needed at all. there is no support from italy either as no one. there is even interested in how much we have lost because of the sanctions and did not want to reimburse it for us . we do not circumvent sanctions because we do not want to be in the grey zone. but on the other hand, we reclose and the entire market in general, but for a month or a year, but forever, i hope that out 20 years of work will not be wasted and that we will only improve the economy of our country's lavish la, from the newsroom for noah. but if you're in the mood to delve a little deeper into any of those stories, this r r t dot com, how's you covered? fresh content like the discussion always could be there with a

you. she succeeded monkeys. commodity on. so you feel a feel i've got to feel that i got so many people go by and i got a little bit energy coming from russia. so now we are in position regarding this is like we got our legs and we cannot walk anymore. just just a reckless behavior with

both call me when you try. i got it, then you pull it columbia and then you're supposed to move across the would you be? i used to have more of a country where the last i didn't forget to let you talk about the jose partition, a stupid book, a group for a whole more than those what.
