to get process. and then those other countries have back to you at their national hundreds of people from india already arrived in new delhi. they say the situation in sit down is getting worse. with massive plush is threatening the lives of ordinary citizens, are being many areas have no running water or electricity among the 10s of thousands of foreigners seeking to get out of the northeast african nation. following another week of college. of the situation is very much dangerous in sudan . the army and rapid support forces are fighting each other. both are fiercely attacking each other. the army dropped bombs with fighter jets in residential areas . rapids support forces carried out ground assaults and we couldn't get even water for 10 days. there was no electricity and we survived with great difficulty. opera in sudan firing is going on day and night. bombs are being dropped and tanks and guns all are on the streets. in sudan, electricity, water,

and food are major problems, mainly drinking water. then from the embassy, we were rescued and moved safely to port sudan at port sudan. we were taken good care of with water, food and other facilities. later through the navy ship, we removed from the port of sudan to jetta. our navy has done an excellent job. finally from jetta. we arrived in india by air force, flight rushes, foreign minister has said the efforts of western powers, they make every one live under their rules based order is in succeeding as the move towards a balance. multi polar world is quote, reversible vista loses a color noodles to it seems natural that the efforts of washington in its allies to turn back the course of history to force the international community to live according to the invented rules based order or failing to the states of the world majority in which about 85 percent of the world's population lives do not want to pull chestnuts out of the fire for the former colonial powers. but today,

everyone needs to recognize that the reverse ability of the formation of a more just multi polar system of world order. it is in the common interest to make sure that the multi polar architecture is based not on a balance of fear, but on a balance of interests on generally recognized norms of international law. and on a mutually respectful dialogue of various civilizations, religions and cultures. a circular for all, for just the west to respect different cultures. different civilizations, forget has been marking the 30th anniversary of the buddha proclamation. no doubt, declaration called upon the international community to quote, recognize that there is a unique and unprecedented moral debt owed to the african people. after centuries of colonial exploitation, it served as a cornerstone for countries to come together and build a new future. r t africa corresponding corolla hunter can tell us. april 29th

1993. a watershed moment for the african continent. it was a boucher conference. that call was 1st made for the proclamation of reparations for africa. following centuries of the slave trade and colonialism. this declaration not only made a case for the reparations to be page 2 africans faith. it was also a rallying call for the continent as a whole, to work together. if we are going to rise as a continent and leap frog into the 4th industrial revolution powered by judea zation, then we must rise through technology. we must rush together and we must rice now, the abode yet proclamation. i'd use that during centuries of unprecedented crime and inhumanity of the slave trade, as well as

a century of colonial exploitation of african people and faith. the development gap between africa and the rest of the world grew wide. all the way, the pillaging and theft of minerals and jewels from african countries and states went into overdrive. the result of all these de lease is that africa has been left behind. we have been left behind in agricultural production in standards of education, in tourism, in mining, in health insecurity in infrastructure development in trade, in many other sectors. w. a document took aim at western nations like france and belgium, beneficiaries of centuries of slave trade, labor as well as colonial exploitation and impunity by the west that they can keep what they have looted. 5,

leave us alone to lead to can shape our own destiny. can work with our friends. those are treated equally. those are treat us as human being who stood by us during trying times when will fighting colonialism. those extended to helping and gave us show that gave us report to give us training cables should allow us it to go on with. i live it with whoever we choose to. i think that is the best thing this being around it gets let's get apologies. the get isn't that, i think for me the most willing, and it's more sentimental than, than real. for me, the real thing is, let the west leave us alone. we are thankful that it multiple a world is manifesting itself right in front of us. and we need to give us the space to be able to do that, which we think it's not best interests without in until pleasure. we see tricks

expanding and therefore providing a counter which is to the hedge a monic with which gives as africa african us as the space it to be who we are is africans into decide on our own destiny. africa has made great strides since then, but the biggest milestone was yet to come. in 2018, 43 parties and 11 signatories agreed to the formation of the african continent, toll free trade area. it is the largest trading area by member states only 2nd to the world trade organization. the continent, both some 1300000000 people, and the world bank anticipated that by the year 2055, the income that will be able to be derived from the africa continental free trade area could be as much as $450000000000.00. each year

that would be able to lift tens of millions of africans out of profit. and it seems the story of the horizon merits more substance than it does uptick. gotta melissa for oddity in johannesburg. something else we are closely following to day. china has warned the u. s. on side korea against escalating tensions with north korea. it comes in response to the unveiling of the so named washington declaration, which lays out an agenda to deter pyongyang, including a nearby visit of a submarine, armed with nuclear missiles for the 1st time in more than 4 decades. in order to achieve its personal geopolitical interests, the us ignores regional security and insists on exploiting the peninsula issue to create tension. what the u. s. is doing is full of cold war mentality,

provokes confrontation between camps, undermines the nuclear nonproliferation regime and the strategic interests of other countries aggravates tensions on the peninsula. undermines regionals peace and stability and rounds counter to the goal of dinner. clear is ation on the peninsula . china is firmly opposed to this will vote was remarked by china came during the south korean president, 6 day trip to the us, the 1st time in a dozen years, a leader from sol has visited washington. during his time there unit suki all addressed a joint session of congress. he met with at president biden as well as the u. s. secretary of defense ortiz o quarter has been looking into the visiting leaders trip. busy and what emerged from to the enduring friendship. let's make us nukes, look more threatening and bring over a nuclear submarine while you're at it. the united states will further enhance the regular visibility of strategic assets to the korean peninsula,

as evidenced by the upcoming visit of a u. s. nuclear ballistic missiles submarine to the republic of korea. all the while washington says pyongyang, as acting like it, runs a nuclear rogue state. ju presidents announced the establishment of a new nuclear consultative group to manage the threat to the non proliferation regime posed by the democratic people's republic of korea. i. yes, the nuclear non proliferation treaty, which the dpr k joined back in 1985. so the u. s. would stop threatening pyongyang with nuclear annihilation from south korea. lo and behold, the u. s. never did stop pointing it's nukes at the north, leaving it with only one option to leave the treaty and build its own nuclear weapons for deterrence. and just for daring to assert itself as a sovereign nation, the dpr k earned its place and america's axis of evil. north korea is a regime arming with missiles and weapons of mass destruction. while starving as citizens states like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of

evil. arming to threaten the peace of the world. it must have taken some serious mental gymnastics for the us to come up with this narrative about north korea, but it's not the 1st time america's actually accused others of doing exactly what washington's done to them. take russia, a country that the u. s. has accused of launching a full assault on media freedom. let's be with the kremlin is engaged in a full assault on media, freedom, access, information, and truth. no mention of the west sweeping ban of r t and spoke nick or the fate of wiki leaks whistleblower julian hassan. mr. connell said he's the high tech terrorist other say this is akin to the pentagon papers where you can, i would argue that is closer to me in the high tech terrorist disguise, a traitor, a treasonous. and, and he is broken. every law the united states, the guy ought to be. so i'm not for the death penalty. so if i'm not for the defendant want to do it illegally shoot the son of

a. after closing people's eyes and covering their ears, it's easy to sell the western media as the freest in the world threatening countries with nuclear weapons repressing journalists, you don't like it all the while, pointing the finger at every one else, political projection at its finest. so for the reaction we govern this was from u. s. civil rights lawyer, robert patio, who's on the v. washington stance on deterring north korea is a further attempt to use on korea as well as the wider region of asia. as a bold walk to contain a jing, there's absolutely symbolism the same ballistic missile that could hip young gang from sol as the same ballistic missile lincoln hit peel gang from idaho or from a new tower from anywhere in the company united states of america. this is meant to send a message is meant to show china that as they are expanding their, maybe they're trying to expand their sphere of influence. that there will be american military assets and circling around them all the way from south korea,

japan to open our, to warm the, straight to taiwan, the straits of singapore. this principle, aka, i think we're going to continue to see more money being invested in a military build up in china. will the possibility of a war that simply britain, the entire world, the entire globe, closer to position where you could see a major war between on international superpowers and that doesn't benefit anybody on earth. we're now inclusion, given the number of nuclear weapons at stake, that the next war could indeed be the last war. him should have more diplomatic solution to bringing everyone to the table as opposed to increasing our nuclear weapons. and the chances of a war being started between the great powers a training official has revealed key information is being handed to the f. b. i to help catch people on social media who could be suspected of being, quote, under russia's influence. he says t of coordinates it's and these are the words used hunting efforts with washington

. once we have a trace of evidence of disinformation campaigns by facebook or other resources that if from the u. s, we pass this information to the f b i. along with writing directly to facebook, we asked the f b i for support to help us with meta to help us with others. and sometimes we get good results with that, we say ok, this was the person who was probably russians influence a former c i. officer john carry alco, say's government's exerting their power over people on such media. and such an a dress of fashion. it's a dangerous path to go down. he believes, i think it's a big deal because it, it essentially confirms the information that we had from matt t, b and others that the same thing was happening at twitter. it's not just that you have elements of federal law enforcement and the intelligence community working alongside or along with these companies. you have federal law enforcement and

intelligence making demands of the social media companies and the companies are doing as they're told. so i think this is, this is very dangerous. it, it really offers up a direct constitutional questions as to freedom of speech and, and freedom from interference. they're trying to root out anybody who might be influential in changing the outlook of the mainstream. the government has told us what the official view is. the official view is that if you're american, you support ukraine and you support the efforts that the white house is taking to arm and to equip ukraine if you're an american and you disagree with that. and many of us do, many of us don't want to spend billions of dollars in taxpayers money to, to arm ukraine. then the idea is to silence you. and they can do that or overly, which is a little bit dangerous, or they can do it covertly by trying to effect the algorithm on the social media platform that you're using so that nobody can see, or your opinion is. meanwhile,

ukraine is trying to dictate what can be said across other countries media. let's break this down because the ukranian embassy and serbia has issued a list of rules about what information it says can be published about the con, flicked with russian. there's quite a few. the diplomatic mission sent the rules to several. serbian news outlets they list mums up. the dispute cannot be called the ukraine conflict, but rather quote rushes war of aggression on an unprovoked invasion. the rules also tell journalists to use occupation, never the term liberation. the ukrainian embassy has confirmed the document is authentic, serbian american journalist natasha mileage. so the document shows here, this focus on p r not picks. this particular set of, you know, added tauriel guidance coming from a government is so pernicious. i've

a lot of western outlets of all ready sort of abided by these guidelines even beforehand. and even though every outlet technically has their own style bible, so to speak, having a government, especially one of the belligerent government, dictate these terms, is just not unheard of, but an unpleasant has unpleasant historical connotation showing what i would argue that, you know, trying to impose the ukraine being wrong to serbia, which, whose language doesn't have articles to begin with and be used to lines are clearly drafted with english speakers in mind shows an incredible amount of tone, deafness that we've seen on display over the past year and a half, but also again shows this focus laser focused on p r and narrative management. that seems to have more important than what's actually happening on the battlefield . the iran has ordered top us officials and entities to

pay more than $300000000.00 in compensation to victims of a series of attacks several years ago by islamic state. the court ruling said washington had previously provided support for terrorist groups in the middle east, including isis, and was thus liable for the bludgeon. the reasons for attributing these crimes to the yes her also been stated by the investigating branch, among others as follows. statements by hiring can officials, including the former us president about the central role of the government and officials of that country in organizing and direct interest groups including isis reliable news and information published in the american media books and speeches by american officials about the role of the cia in create interest groups including isis. the court ruling specifically focused on former us president george w bush and barack obama. the ca on defense contractor lockheed martin. the

terrorist attacks in question occurred in june 2017 in central to ron, targeting the national parliament building on the morsel liam of the country's former supreme leader. 17 people including m. p. 's were killed, some 50 others were wounded. this i'll make states immediately claim responsibility for the attacks while armenian american academic side mom had mirandi discuss the significance of the iranian court ruling with my colleague, murat, her mommy. earlier. there is a long history here because the united states has taken iran to court inside the united states on many occasions. they've even taken the iran to court over $911.00 . if anyone can believe that iran has been regularly punished by a u. s. the u. s. government and u. s. courts, but,

and the iranian, since they have had assets are frozen in the united states and in europe it's, that's always been a problem. iran doesn't hold us assets. so in the immediate future, there really isn't much that can be done. but the world is changing rapidly in the americans are withdrawing from the region and who knows what sort of opportunities will be around in the coming months in years. but i think at least for the moment it is a political response to the united states. it's sort of the global south speaking back remind or reminding the world that the united states created isis from famously admitted during his presidential campaign. and he knew that because michael flynn was his military and intelligence advisor and we've had other officials admitted. and in the media and books come out. so this is basically a reminder that the iranians have been suffering at the hands of the united states

. and this is just one chapter. let's move on to a little bit about iran, on it's relations with russia, china in the south africa, the brakes. how do you see in the iran moving in, in this direction? time is not on the side of the americans because as the world changes, iran relationships with countries like china and russia. india are evolving. and now that iran is a member of the shanghai cooperation organization that has also benefited iran relationship with these countries and russia ever since the war in ukraine in the war in europe. the russians have been very keen on establishing the north.
