d r a v, we have a in a certain way to so the city and sizes the, the president of course, has the story. but then from his stand findings, chrome heres perspective this was an opportunity must not be missed. on the other hand, us 13 percent message out that we received at senior rational officials and beside i'm, we have received that we have heard the case of the main buy is a resident. of course, the, the countries will be glad to help in bring this war to an end, and they are willing to work for level rate was either to me, gaithersburg, i, or you send this china uh, in order to move the prospects of east at i have that with syria being back

in the game of the arab league expos, see a woman and relations is a positive move to the entire world. you can read much more about not one of the, a fleet of a russian headache up. this is arrived and it's in bob, we're in the capital of the country as president along with the russian ambassador . acknowledge the importance of cooperation and mutual support. and both countries are under such the yes, we have really none. the sanctions boost west. this is how i p s o 2 rice. again is the government around mass, up to the side where it is

the bus, if it makes us proud, that is the current political situation. russia mc, but as the old where the friends and has the insurrection just by stress of sanctions and challenges on the turbo and times, willing to because the ultimate goal of our governments and business is to make the lives of our people more comfortable, safe and secure 18 and side russian chop was behind it over there are some of them right there. according to local officials, 12 will be used for is often management. the other 6 will go to law enforcement. and in the next couple of years, the size of the country is fleet is expected to grow as nearly 3000 of the kinda room celebrating its unity day after becoming

independent and re unifying north and south. which of course been divided under colonial rule. 1884 kind of ruined with a german colon of 12 o one. it was divided between britain and france and in 1960 the nation finally got its independence and local say, those issues do remain when it comes to their relationship with former colonial power for my pleasure. gone, for my part, i think that the colonial heritage really affects our country, especially since today we speak a foreign language and i think the former colonial power still want to establish their no darius the and impose their imperialism over us and is the best way for us to rely on our cultural values, which is the root of each camera. rooney, and i think that would be ideal data, but that's a good say, right? it's true that france, england and germany colonized as part. but what's important is to know that we fight a lot to have this independence and we must continue to maintain it. we demand our government to do everything to establish our autonomy with the countries that colonized us and our troops. i don't think former colonial powers treat our country

is equal partners, especially since the currency we use this printed elsewhere. it's not equal, and the authorities have to review their relationship with the colonizers to make things fair before the kind of runny and writer, and the african freedom institute, president of franklin, the m. c. believes that old, easy as all the country at the end of the day is still not truly independent. for me to come out on independence day, please note a reminder of the independence, all the silver and detailed accounting and fucked for 60 years and more now. come only is notorious independent because the state has been grounded on nail colonial or by france and greek. so absolutely. i can't think that independence day is really

economic of system of capital is not absolutely controlled by california. as you know, the price neo colonial gardens funk see if it is still loading day. the political system has been blocked by a political elite which was a guest, the tool. so what i need to up the account and this is to, from the sixty's to today. i know the more critical process in commodities blow by a distribution of violations by, you know, respect of, uh how can i say for electronic processes and the lock of 40 to kind of dialogue between the oats and the opposition. the counter is divided. the country is very weak. i'm the country switching sold and over to rome, reign of more than 40. yes. so this is not for me. a reminder of any kind of so

that any to this the 20th of may, 2023 is in stock. fairly mind. hold the how can i say the body blocked? see the reason of the account. let's give you a quick reminder for operating you 0 and also you international as the russian ministry of defense has confirmed the city of out of trauma, also known as black. mood has officially come on, the russian control, and the machine was completed by the wagner, private military company, backed with artillery at support from russian forces that is, according to the administrator. and now the russian president has congratulated those involved in the operation that is, according to a statement from the kremlin that comes off at the head of the wagner group. if guinea pig ocean claimed the city was finally on the russian control of to 224 days of bloody fighting, the confirmation from the russian defense ministry comes ours. often you prayed, insisted it was still in control of some districts in that one back old city

we can get all the updates so as you need them on this breaking news story at all to international by simply going to onto thought com. but also check out all the rest of the telegram channels as well. for the meantime, the of the,

[000:00:00;00] the i'm action or time seeing, welcome back to going underground rule guy single, around the world from do buying the you a job. i'm. she's still neck and all of schultz are among will be to is in us to, to make bottom sides. are all schuman japan, this weekend? kicking off a 49th annual summer to the g 7. an exclusive club made up of only major members and its allies and proxies, while the nations in the proxy will, with russia to over how they will continue funding their military aggression by zalinski countless more and dying of the war. and ukraine continues to escalate

with british missiles being sent to kill. well, joining me now from palermo in sicily, at least professor charles group, john senior fellow and director of european studies at the council on foreign relations. and the senior director for your benefit is on the national security council during the clinton and obama or administration. thank you so much, professor for coming back on on the show. i just met a start by this. he rushing with some of the whole a place that's just as a rush year, which was from the conventional loan forces in your tree deeds, already placing tactical nuclear weapons and beller risk ahead of a st. petersburg for him about where the rest of the world is. coming to the g 7, median who rush, i'm a to talk about chinese collision and the best way to attack russia. well, i, i would say that this is a, a meeting with a lot of residents to put it mildly, you know, this is the, the, the site of the, the, you, the atomic. welcome that out and bring world war 2 to an end. well, we now know,

sorry, sorry to interrupt, but i think there's been so much history about the fact that japan actually has already surrendered. i don't wanna go too back into history before nag. a psyche and erosion were blown up to show, improve the new superpower, the 20th century, the united states. well, it's probably not worth our time to mitigate how world war 2 came to an end, but the fact that the g 7 is gathering there at the same time that we're in the middle of a hot war in europe, the biggest land war since world war 2, which one side, the russians have threatened to use tactical nuclear weapons. you know, this is, this isn't dangerous moment. arguably the most dangerous moment. since the cuban missile crisis, one can say even more dangerous. because the cuban missile crisis occurred during the cold war. and there was peace. right now there are bombs and missiles flying in

your brain. so hopefully the, the g 7 summit will get, get more assistance, maintain the unity among the major democracies. at least this, at this stage, it doesn't look like the warranty plan is going to end any time soon. will it be so dangerous? why are you advocating? what research? so that is done this week said that f. 16 training. i don't know whether you advocate to have 16 will planes to zalinski. you're advocating more tailoring, more. i munition visit landscaping, so dangerous. why do you want that? because i think that the ukrainians are determined to launch an offensive. they have a moral and legal right to take it back as much of their territory as they can. and i think we should give them the best chance possible to advance into eastern ukraine in the coming months that having been said, i do think that we should marry the provision of more weapons to ukraine and

provision to think about mac assistance to ukraine, to a plan b because i'm skeptical that ukraine is going to win on the battlefield and by when i mean re claim all of its territory. and as a consequence, when we get to the end of this fighting season, late in 2023, i think we're going to have to have a conversation with him today though with the ukrainians and ultimately with the russians about how when, when, and where we can try to rustle this conflict to the ground because it is a war that is dangerous. it is having global blow back effects and the form of inflation, food shortages, energy shortages, is polarizing the international system. with the democracies on one side, you frame in the middle, russia and china. on the other hand, democracies rusher in china, obviously consider themselves democratic as new level south countries. ukraine itself jailed and prosecuted,

the leading opposition figure the opposition of the life policy in kiev. obviously, the free media has been banned right across the europe in union, with the old, old discipline and voices of voices against the nato view of the well being banned in europe. i, i think in the united states, you only had one television presented talk a call soon, who presented an oppositional view to biden's policies being fired from fox news. how democratic is this west that you talk of, given that there is, as the washing of both say, democracy dies in douglas. there is a darkness in the united states in western europe about what's happening. well, we are clearly have a historical inflection point, right. you go back to the french and american revolutions in the 17 hundreds and track for and then you say history, general main tilting in the progressive direction,

the world became more and more free. and now it has tilted back in the other direction. autocracies are becoming more autocratic, and i don't know anybody who would really call russia or china a democracy except maybe their own leaders way with rushes in order to move. you know, it's very international observers or what was happening in russia when booting was elected. if anything and put in was forced by opposition parties to go into doing best to protect the civilians. if don't you have to come to the hands from nato. i'm the ukraine forces and food and didn't want to do it as we know food and wanted to join nato at one point as i would the bang to jennifer with just about everything that you just said. russia right now is clamping down on every aspect of civil society. russia has taken over the free media and you can go out and speak your mind about this concept. you'd have to call it

a special military operation. they're throwing people in jail. people are leaving, leaving the country in droves. mom ash and the, you know, you're doing so i would say the bbc and cnn and all leaves the west in uh, the restrooms. they probably got under outlets. they have john lives in russia. they're free to be in russia rebooting, whereas russian reporters panel report from even the united states as learn from us in europe. and you know about those. do you have control story and check off ski
