the, the south africa's presidents announces 6 of africa's leaders funds to travel to russia, and ukraine's help broke out a resolution to the war. the chief of the south african army visits small scope adults and let's just days after the us back track. and these false allegations are the countries equally provided almost to russia. also this, all the rest has ministry of defense, as it's controlled miss all as distorted us, supplied patriots at defense system in kia on the use of control of a c over claims of donald trump. russia collusion a recent american revolt deals of the f. b. i had deficient evidence on the investigation was based on biased information. the

still watching the international monitors beat to scott wherever you're joining us from. welcome to 30 minutes of news analysis. the south african presidents around the phones that has said that russian president vladimir putin on the ukrainian president volume is a landscape, are open to receive a group of african leaders for folks regarding the war from a foes upset the heads of 6 african states, all sponsoring the initiative of the confidence is also affected by the conflict to lead, as i had the occasion to speak to that is present in person. so let's agree to that there would be willing to receive emission of the heads of states and both must code and key. i agree with both of them that we were con, versions for the engagements with east african his or state. lots of flesh this out

. let's cross live now to advocate correspondence. know of we'll come get. thanks very much for joining us. what more can you tell us about this initiative? a while the so that's a comparison, so don't oppose the has said that she has discussed with the 2 liters. and those discussions show that they are both ready to receive the african leaders and to have a discussion on how to to put the conflict to be basically not with a vax will succeed. a not is going to depend on the discussions that will be held during that particular time. the presidency is the piece plan is backed by lead is of some african countries including uganda, egypt, and the civil further adding that the you in $63.00 general the us and britain have also been briefed regarding this particular process. the president has not given any specific timelines for the visit or any other details saying that only the

conflict had been devastating and africa is suffering a great deal from the conflict. and to me, i think in countries that have been badly hit by rising prices of grain and by the impact toward trade. in fact, the real impact of each economy is related to the level of dependency on oil and gas exports or improvements. the clear, uh, i mean the all clear, long term indications and those having to, to, to your political re, alignment, social and economy can stability. and of course, the instability or on sustainability. this has led also to a wide any equality and the pop provalshie within the continent. i think it's also worth noting is the fact that the announcement comes a day off to prison for my post. i said, so that's it. that had been on the immense and extra ordinary pressure to pick size

in the conflict. and that's of course the following accusations from the united states that pretoria supplied weapons to moscow and move that would break awaits for face stones. i gave and relationship with moscow and the rest of the globe, and with that around the pools that has also stated that since there is no concrete evidence to support the indications from the united states, the government is establishing an independent inquiry headed by a judge to determine whether those fact switcheroo or not. and i'm gonna pull this up as the country president has said that to the african initiates of as mid to with courses supported washington and a number of you will pin capitals, visited by facilitators tossed by what we're presenting were either presenting the plan going forward. the if it could indeed helps of africa. and in fact, the rest of the african continent, in many friends, especially rehabilitating its image as a neutral play, a and

a mediate. of course this following up to the issues that it had to drifted from its stones a bit to the come on to off. so that's because ground forces was in moscow not so long ago to discuss military cooperation on monday. and in that they believe in that, sorry, was that the latest is a series of incidents that critics the site as evidence of a totes towards criminal. and but also last week, the us envoy to pretoria said that the united states believed that those we approved and munition, as of just said that had been added on to russia fried to that docked at a cape town, naval base in december and to run the process is that so dr to i would not be going into a contest between global powers and that's despite having faced, extraordinary, appreciate to do so. but hopefully this process and this plan by the applicant need, is really needs to something quite tangible for

a lot to see what's comes with that advocate lead piece initiative. another way you can go, thanks so much for that. a staying in south africa that come under the countries of ground forces. lieutenant general lawrence botha visited moscow for thoughts just days of the washington bank trust on his occupation. the country secretly provided weapons to russian. lots, a correspondent shape. both these don't even live in the studio for this. i'm sorry . can you show more details with us about this visits and what the background of it is? yes. well, interesting. it's something we've been discussing for some, for some time. and general in both is in moscow to hold bilateral talks with the, with moscow and his counterpart here. and they're discussing closer military cooperation, increasing ties. and of course the topic is a very important strategic partner for russia and for the brakes alliance. but it all comes in the wake of quite strange and bizarre accusations by the united states that the south africa had been supplying weapons to russia for using ukraine

essentially. and we can actually have a listen to those allegations here, peter, to be alarming of russia by south africa within the vessel. the planet inside this town is fundamentally unacceptable. we are confident that weapons were loaded onto that vessel and i wouldn't bet my life on the accuracy of that assertion. yeah, so these are very serious allegations out, of course, no evidence whatsoever provided by the united states for the serious allegations. and of course, you know, you have to ask yourself in what context is this sort of spurious obligation been a fail unless they've been any reaction from the african side to those allegations? yeah, well the african side have said that they have no evidence whatsoever, or even a record of this shift, the lady or leaving south africa last december. and they've no idea what the

americans are talking about. they did say they would look into it on an, a potentially uh, you know, launch an investigation, you know. mm hm. and the, we can hear what they said in response to the american navigation here. the national conventional arms control committee has no record of an approved arm sale by the state to russia related to the period or incident in question. yeah, so now and then the latest developments that we've had at quite a virus and climbed down by the boss or the us on the bus or to south africa. and you know, he's in evey of sort of apology. he's said he's had a chance to revisit his thoughts, etc, etc. so it's quite embarrassing at, you know, developing for, for the united states. but on surprising, given the geo political, as you know, the situation right now, you know, so we can actually hear the apology of opportunity to speak with for administer pender this evening and correct any misimpressions left by my public remarks in our

conversation. i reaffirm the strong partnership between our 2 countries and the important agenda our presidents have given us. it's. yeah. so of course it is a sort of an, a bar sink lined down for at, for the us. and the life was pledge that this was something that has occurred and we have to sort of watch this space for potential. the older members of the brakes alliance will be potentially single there for this type of spurious allegation, a china where again, with no evidence whatsoever feed into those words also have quite dramatically impacts on the, the economy as well inside. absolutely, they had an impact on the currency in south africa, and of course, south africa has quite a fraudulent economy at the moment. but it also has one of the biggest manufacturing capacities in the military, industrial complex, the only country in africa that actually manufacturers heavy weaponry, highly comforters on an aircraft. so it's a very interesting space. the wasn't lead us. why it doesn't seem to them to find the relations with the brochure. thanks very much for that shape. thanks. moving on

now, rushes defense industry has said it's kinda all hypersonic missile has distorted us, made patriots on the craft missile system. in key of knowing this on verified video, you can see bucket finalizing of kids night sky, allegedly from a patriot system, which is, was half a 1000000 us dollars. the russian defense ministry has set its defense and deceptive 7. u. k. supplied storm a shuttle missiles. but let's be no comment from t of us with brussels, different segments and make energy sanctions on moscow work they use. chief diplomats is now suggesting that men to states must crack donald india to events of russian oil from between european markets. if diesel or gasoline is entering europe from india and is being produced with the washing oil or the stores, only a circumvention of sanctions and member states have to take measures. they use that in order to be a center where russian oil is refined and these by products,

then salt us. then we have to act. the european union should crack down on india for re selling russian oil to europe as refined, few weeks. that's what you saw for let's see, diploma has said and he's also for the one on to saying that interview, but he's going to have a war with delta s j. sean go was in just foreign affairs minister. they are due to meet soon. now let's put some fox in place here. despite sweat, i'm special from the west and europe. india has continued to buy or from moscow. how much to me off swells from nearly one percent in india, bosky it from from 2022 to be 6 for cents. now that is one point. 67000000 barrels of food. but the, the india is importing from wescal. once this boy comes here, oil from russia,

everywhere else in the world, the just fine of these. what they do is the not so easy to find the orange ones. these few as refined, big forties. no, india doesn't segregating. that doesn't see that this is just fine. fuse from rochelle, this is a fine to from solving fixed. i mean, do you, mind you, there's no forced anybody to buy any refined fuel from the euro. has been doing it on its own free will. so perhaps it's in new york and listening to them to distance itself from law school is something that is or to or all. and also the very fact that there sanctions on most schools the no g house in, nor to work in the last 12 months. very smoothly, moscow, they successfully have been able to find the market from europe to issue. looking at how much india in china are buying or just given some data there. so perhaps the

euro that has been off to buy it for the seas. it's sasha, is not working of countries like india independently doing what they wants to do. not listening to them does been very clear about foreign policy that is going to do what it, what is best. and india isn't 1st bought at the end of the d. a suggesting that the european union can the stage to is song when country wanted to chat or cannot do is better for north scratch, for the diplomats to say the least for me. yes, president donald trump had some slammed democrats on the f. b. i saying they'll pay a heavy price. i was following a justice department reports revealing that the investigation into his ties with russia was based on biased information and had no significant evidence to support delegations. the government possess no verified intelligence, reflecting that trump or the trump campaign was involved in

a conspiracy or collaborated relationship with the officials of the russian government. our investigation also revealed that senior f. b. i personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities during the keys yesterday, i of bias and extremely troublesome misconduct. to saying the bureau failed to critically analyze information that run counter to the narrative of trump, russia collusion. now the guy says he's acted on that report. but durham also pointed to the bureaus, very different cautious approach. so allegations are related to the 2016 democratic presidential candidates, hillary clinton. the report results, however, it didn't seem to gone to much attention from much, many in the mainstream media, investigative journalist levey of called the f. b i and professional. and it says, describe successful disgrace, i mean the be the special counselor that on the line. the last page is the

conclusion that the guy needs to be re, for any means. it means that he says that there should be a non partisan director at the guy designated to follow up on investigations and to look into the investigation. and the problem, of course, is that the newspaper is that, that expected by me much 50 years ago. like the new york times on washington, both on a completely biased they all belong to the democratic party for saul and so cnn the same. and so these would not speak about any more depth settings. they have to, but the don't speak any more about that. so it's up to the republic comes to really forced press to look into this and to have thought, you know, an investigation started and people fired at the f. b, i drones default is primarily a reference to the steel. they'll see it, which is a compilation of roommates about the former president, on his, allegedly,

through russia that were governed by a former british intelligence agents on henry clinton's campaigns, payroll from on this, on the stories. and to join us on oxy dot com, i wouldn't generally be considered a good idea to cold china, the largest threat to the free world before visiting taiwan. and that's exactly what the disgrace to form a u. k. prime minister mistrusted before her visit as well. i do think a nice, i stand by my assertion that we should designate china as a stress. so i think they are a very clear us, right. so i think that the largest threats that we face to the free world look on. and so you can meet your fault, the government had no say interest as decision to visit sy one. so she is expected to push the full 8 of a stance on china before her students as prime minister, which lots to just $49.00 days choice made headlines. this phone secretary that came in the rush, i had no authority over southern regions state to during a trip meant to deescalate the tensions between cuba and moscow before the war. the

u. k. will never recognize russia sovereignty over the regions of ross stuff. and veronica, she hope it's a long list. alix, for both the face as the visits may undermine the current u. k. prime minister's relations with china. a gets the list trust 2023 humiliation to or if not serving as the prime minister for the shortest time period in history, she's decided to take it on the road. this is the same lady that visited the island to tie one in 2021, to try to bring prosperity to china and prosperity to the united kingdom. you have to look at trade. i think i refused to nack understands the trade is important. and, you know, the economy in the united kingdom is just in dire straits. i mean, it's just what do you think it's could go lower, it continues to, you know, drop right, right to the bottom and having list, you know, once again go over there. i mean, this is the same woman that was trying to,

you know, bring prosperity to this island back in 2003, you know, open arms. they're saying, you know, united kingdom's going to be here to, you know, save the day. and now ricky, he richie he's, he's basically on damage control mode. the construction of a must save us embassy. complex in lebanon, has left some local people perplexed. the complex is being built and had done some bay roots on with the size of a $21.00. football pictures resembles the city and itself. you have a covers it over 2 and a half times dots of the white house. meanwhile, 80 percent of lebanon's population is currently living under the poverty line with many on able to afford basic commodities, but the country smaller than the us state of connecticut and its economy in the midst of a meltdown. so my asking, whose interests the 1000000000 dollar developments of stephen this with a small counsellor like lebanon doesn't need such a big embassy con pounds. what's the points of them expands in the base, especially in the current situation with many problems in lebanon, and worldwide?

as i live in east, i truly wonder why instead of them spending money on building such a barricaded for through us. why knows, help lab and i'm over here, empty promises, the buddies are battling to survive this economic crisis on the own. i don't think there's anything like the g or has a strong presence in the region. i think the american must have an agenda for doing massive expansion on an embassy getting jobs because the financial situation here is so people are really struggling or the model of what came 1st of history and international relations are

the lebanese university and babies. but he says that extravagance embassy, and tends to help us establish a big a foothold in the middle east. and country is why the visiting the embassy this compound, the you as the, the, by the material from local market. they, you, they imported automatically and from the u. s. and at the same time, they didn't, let's say, hire local employees to build the comp on. so the spending, the money on the compound didn't have any positive impact on the, nobody's economic, this is more of it caught on the u. s. caught on the inside level rather than just come phones or a number. and it has a separate surfaces 1st uh its uh, front of the network of minnesota. you unintelligence spaces that you, us is establishing to the east. um, it's uh, it says uh as much as and its size the size of the u. s. embassy and but the,

as part of the u. s. flood, control the region, the middle east, and mainly the near is in order to see the russia hit on on china and stay in the attempt to access that you submitted it any. and this is the 1st reason, the 2nd reason for this is the, the, the, this from phone. that's good. awesome. we'll do a small then, uh $50000.00 us through. at the same time, this is something that is not mentioned in the media. could serve also as a military base and as i said, as part of the network of felicity bases, stock revelations and newly published documents and the new york times suggest that the us ignored the war crimes record of as far as the proxy troops around the world which invites a violation of america's laws. the funds available that the special operations program involves the training on army of foreign fights is for use in kilo attempt

emissions as american forces don't wants current and selves. and the provision of supports is not contingent upon successful human rights, but any requirements as defined to the lease the law will delay law prohibits the provision of us administrative. human rights violators abroad depends against the justified directive appears to be a loophole. this allows a did rights violation of the law. correspondents kenneth often takes a deep look at the pentagon relationship with his own savory allies. if you're providing someone with military training and weapons, don't you have a responsibility to make sure the person is not a criminal to use them to go and commit new crimes? you would think so. but apparently the pentagon does not agree. indeed, why worry about such details as long as it serves american interest in far away lands seem as if for the panic on the ends justify the means even if it means violating us law, that for its military aid to human rights violators abroad,

the us track record for such on accountability and impunity goes back decades. here's just a few examples. the infamous and dirty brigades of militias, the united states, trained in order to fight i still, in a rock, have been accused of torturing detainees and other atrocities. united nations found us backed forces in the democratic republic of the congo were involved in mass rates and torture of civilians. back in 1981 up to a 1000. civilians were slaughtered by us backed forces in el salvador. the famous element is ot and massacre. human rights watch has revealed the results of the us occupation of afghanistan and shone crimes that were committed by forces trained and backed by the united states. there. the strike forces have been lawfully killed civilians, your nitrates forcibly disappeared detainees undetected healthcare facilities for

allegedly treated in storage and fighters. civilian casualties from these rates and air operations have dramatically increased in the last 2 years. the us armed and fran ukrainian military is just the latest example. they have been caught summarily executing prisoners of war videos, sho, outright war crimes. russia has many times highlighted these documented atrocities of the united nations. however, the usa and its allies have turned a blind eye visits and me the idea of us doing this. the recent report by amnesty international and organization that can hardly be classified as pro russian states . we have been talking about at every meeting on the green is the very beginning of a special military operation. the on forces of ukraine and ukrainian nationalists battalions are hiding behind a civilian population as a human shield,

and also use residential houses and apartments in them as fighting boy place heavy equipment in a tillery near the hospitals. schools and keen the gardens keeps the last card launch for any crimes. instead of holding a spade a spade, you demonstrate button double standards and miracles office thoughtfulness, stores not to cost the shadow of responsibility on the scale for the shelving is obvious. this shows your responsibility for the brain conflict. started the united states at at least question its relationship with infamous groups like b as off battalion, known for its neo nazi audiology. what is the relationship of the us government to these people? is it training them? might it arm them? is this one of those cases where we aid and abet the kind of monsters who eventually become our enemies. but they have admitted there is no real way to stop or even control these evil practices. here's another example. the tornado battalion

was pretty well known for its atrocities. some of its members even got in prison when the crimes they committed became well publicized. but after russia's military operations started, these dangerous radicals were released in order to join ukraine's armed forces belong, record of washington supporting forces around the world. the do horrendous things, despite existing us laws that mandate otherwise explains why the pentagon doesn't feel obligated to do any use that thing. when you are training people like this, it probably feels better not to know what they did yesterday and what you might be helping them to do. tomorrow. caleb bobbin archie new york mulled over and the police have stormed, pulling stations off to an opposition candidate. when an election in the old thomas region of guy goes, yeah, despite, it's a long slide victory. all 4 of these have tried to confiscate the balance to prevent the confirmation in court. this comes up to the countries prime minister

called to cancel the results. as most of us government has a ques, deposition of pro russian sympathies. and this claim that the current administration is incapable of solving the nation's economic crisis. well, for him is a private thing. the russian language on tv channels, as well as other co treat significant symbols like the same george's ribbon. and the news russia has withdrawn from the treaty unconventional armed forces in europe, which is a transparency, a military transparency agreements must go says that the move was made at jude. so the of the policy is a violation of its requirements or from all on this. that's cost live now to all the correspondence for my issue. well my, my, what more can you tell us about most goes decision. so russia has announced to the official withdrawal from the conventional armed forces, treaty and military agreement that has been suspended for a while. now. according to russia, this treaty has controlled the confir,

the expression security interest. now russian deputy foreign ministers. so again, rob called was a point of last week as a representative of russian president vladimir put in to the, during the parliamentary proceedings to announce the, to the notice of the treaty. and here's what he had to say. we've received information that some european states were in direct violation of the requirements of the treaty. a new situation has arisen where even a formal preservation of russia status as a party to the treaty, despite it suspension has come into direct contradiction with the interest of the country is national security. we have already written it off and left it in the past. what other states will do is a question for them. they won't be able to intimidate us with their steps. now, since 2015, russia has completely suspended its parts of participation in the treaty only participating. formerly, the agreement was one of the most important steps in the de escalation of tensions

between the west and the eastern block. now, the treaty set limits of for deployment of forces under european continent, but as well as establish transparency mechanisms. now, moscow has been long complaining about the expansion of nato and expansion. that undermines the goal of the same treaty of mind that you saw thanks very much for breaking that down for us. so there's the main stories of this. how do you check outs out websites, all. com or social media pages for mall? one is pete to scott on the back again at the top of the hour. hope see that the

welcome to was a part of the last to digits. have seen many world shaking your bands. there was 911 and the 2 war on terror done. there was the 2008 financial crisis, the arab spring out of course, because it's 19 pandemic code the year of 2022 as my guest today suggests the just as if not more jo, politically, seismic we'll discuss that. i'm now joined by a value to grab executive dean of the trunk young institute for financial studies. dr. brown is good to see your again and thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us. thank you. thank you for the video and that that good to see you again . now i interviewed you about a year ago when the one year crane was still in its early stages and the world was

.
