russian defense minister say? well, well, there are balls meeting in minutes. the bell of russian and russian defense ministers came to the conclusion that basically the increase in military exercises in central and eastern europe are very concerning. the increase in scale and intensity of these exercises and the deployment of shop weapons as forced russian to visit a position where it needs to respond. and this means upgrading the s 25. ation uh jets with nucular capable capabilities. and it's important to note that this is, here's to international law as moscow will maintain control complete control of the systems. but that's also including an advanced air defense system, the s 400 air defense system and the scanner missile systems as well. now what are the potential threats is we're so concerned about benjamin. so one of the more concerning threats are signals coming from poland regarding the things happening on the western flint, as well as statements from a former polish general who,

who is said that in order for a ukrainian counter offensive to, to succeed, that they may try to cool, alexander lucas sango, the bella, russian president. let's prepare for an uprising. the billers, because it will happen. the fact is, we cannot miss this moment. we must be ready to support the troops that will conduct the operation. cancel the cushion. okay. we have reasons to help them just as we are helping the ukrainians. now, lucas and go has said that he is completely ready. the bell of russian military is fully capable of responding to any of these threats. and it's a, it's an issue that he view seriously and, and rush of you seriously as well as there are the, as bella, russia is, is rushed as close as regional ally in closest ally in general. good to say no. first time you may have already said they're preparing for some kind of next rebellion. we're tracking the guys that the sick general is talking about. if i

understand what he's saying, entire regiments are battalions are being created there and so that's what they're calling them. but in fact, we know everyone there my name and we're ready. let them come to me, which are now with poland, being one of ukraine, strongest allies and the leader of the regional anti rochelle lines. it's not surprising to see senior military figures going after rushes strongest allied bella roost. well, benjamin, thanks very much for walking those through. that's how people's updated it through any developments. so thank you. thank you. know, the news around has demonstrated as latest ballistic missile with the range of 2000 kilometers and capable of holding the largest payload among others. the nation currently produces a t correspondence use of july votes of the details in this latest are wanting and made ballistic missile tentative est targets across the entire middle east. and beyond. a claim made by the running defense ministry at

a ceremony to run. while i'm veiling the court. i'm sure surface to surface missile as these are you among the salient features of dismissal is it's radar. they suff capability that allows it to circumvent the enemy's air defense due to with small radar cross section. the range of the missile is 2000 kilometers. the quote on shop is a look whitfield missile designed by the aerospace organization of the ministry of defense. the 13 bureau long presume is fitted with a high explosive warhead. with her length of about 4 meters. the overhead has the ability to carry more than one ton of munitions. the defense ministry says the heart of shaft can carry 3 warheads. it's hypersonic warhead moves with the speed of mach 16, which can allegedly evade interception by defense systems. the hold on shop for also known as a buyer is the latest generation of the court. i'm shot class. so 1st stick missiles which 1st entered service in 2017. what makes this one stand out from its breed. assessors is its higher pinpoint accuracy in striking gets targets. i got

sad yankee, well that is the warhead has a higher guidance capability. it's pinpoint accuracy with increase. so we applied some changes to the war, head into the fins of the missile to enhanced its guidance. and therefore, its precision and striking capability that it was missile program remains the cornerstone of the country's military sex, are suffering the harshest. obviously, margot led by the u. s. the blocks it was procurement of a needed for and technology. this has to have on every once in a while on bills the new missile to defy the sanctions. i send a message that dismissal program is not a negotiable, as it was the testament of sir reiterated. today. the gotta go live, pay only the message of the defense ministry to our enemies is that we are resolute and defending our soil and preserving the advancements of these law make revolution . and we have shown that the enemy can never stop our youth from treading on the path of advancement and excellence. but the message of this event to our friends is

to contribute to regional peace and stability. and to provide all loud support for our friends and countries that stand against the huge demonic power. everyone's missile sector has come a long way from reporting sophia, it's called b and fox 7 missiles from libya and the sick of the 19800 on the walk war 2 producing fully indigenous missiles with various ranges and applications as claimed by to ron. now the country's defense ministry says this court on shot for missile well, significantly increase the countries twice capabilities. use of generally are 2 different almost goes hosting the ration economic form at the moment for the participants discussing the needs for most economic corporation and counseling, emerging threats to the multi polar world as well. that's across live. now to all the correspondence between the cost of that to get more details on the form arena, thanks very much for joining us. what is on the agenda today of the patient economic form?

so far we've had a narrow format meeting right now. actually the expanded session has just been there, so we have delegations coming out and also the heads of all 5 member states are wrapping up on their discussions and we're expecting what for a lateral talk some to get to in the 2nd. but so far, all the discussions had been centering around a deeper and further integration between the 5 member states. so a rush on beller roost. armenia complex on here, just on and they're all discussing how to integrate better in the, in the, in how to make sure that they elaborate more on their logistics and find support links so that they can create a better transportation of fargo and goods within the unit. and also be on there also talking about financial independence, a digital transformation. all of this creates a more fair and the more violence world where we're not seeing the countries

economies being vulnerable and software as a result of the policies that we're seeing in the west. so this is all about some mentoring, that partnership and that friendship. and also looking at all the markets i'm looking at association. so for example, that you raised in economics rephrase unit associated in itself or with the sun high organizational corporation, for example. or with the rick summit, for example, there as well, because we know that turnover of all these countries right now, they account for about 30 percent of gdp and that will be 50 percent of g d p. and just 10 years time roughly. and we've heard from all 5 member states they express just how much a trade turn of our house growing for every single member here at this time. we also had the video messages from up to service space. for example, we had a message from the coupon president who said that he sees the significance of the c in the growing more and more,

especially as we see in the challenges posed by the west anders sciences. trying to isolate countries for not following their agenda. we also heard from spect this non incident ticket such and actually this year was the 1st time that i served by john voss invited them as a gas. uh so we heard from them as well. and right now, as you can hear behind me, we are seeing someone that has a member stays approach and the price. and also there will be further to a lateral talk. so coming up in a very lively that marina was anything else. so it's the phone apart from economic cooperation, $24.00, and that's this is actually what we are expecting now because apparently some vladimir boots and that will be meeting a one on one with the army in twine minnesota and also one on one with the present . all by sort of by john and later on, uh, they will be on hold and twilight, all thoughts and all of this, of course,

the backdrop of the army and prime minister on monday, announcing that he recognized as the above own slaves as part of the by satellite of john, but as long as the guarantee security guarantees oh for the s like our medium population, that's so this is i guess what they will be discussing, like the twilight will talk funded during this. expand that meeting, which is just rocking up now. if it hasn't already that they couldn't help themselves. and we heard the armenian prime minister and also the president of us are by john address. and this i had a life sentence got a little bit high up, but we are expected to hear a conclusion about that because there is already talk that both countries recognize that sovereignty always the territorial integrity of each other. so we're waiting to see what comes out of those for lateral talks, and we'll have more for you in the fall line. our thanks so much for breaking down

those, those important thoughts that we look forward to any updates. i saw the correspondent the south african presidents around the photos has underlined the southern st under independence all these continents as today most national africa day, which is the celebration of victories over colonialism and apartheid. some countries including our own, are being threatened with penalties for pursuing an independent foreign policy and for adopting a position of non alignment, we have not forgotten the terrible, brutal legacy of 1st having our content and carved up and colonized by european countries only to find ourselves once more ponds on a chessboard during the cold war, we are not going back to that period in history of us and president, let him if it's in congratulates of african leaders. the 60 years ago, africa made history with the foundation of the organization of african unity, which was the process of today's african union, may name or one of his my names was eradicates and colonialism. o'neill,

a little bit early way as of now it got genetics has to do below peaceful potential to become a new one, a big jibes and in the world of play, especially joke. what is it going to today? is african countries are interested in comprehensive cooperation, is trying to do that because this is a, the global, our end of the conversation has now changed to models trading the advantages that advocate can play the role that have benefit stuff. they come to get a club afraid we bought on the content inside the site in a rush you coverage. lead of the develop lanes from both brushing and china has been in the terms of technology economy. and so it shows via web benefits and population has built the coincidence to a place where we are today know how much of the, the original vision of the organization of african american unions found as has been realized to 60 as on what still needs to be done to fully implement that vision. the are the section these page there has been

a lot of work's been done in terms of trade in terms of building the needed for structure cross and confidence. about some of the telling you that i was told these issues has been the tree virus that has been lifted across certain parts of the ridges. the also the vision of your wide especially that was into it is 3 being of the advocacy. you know that entire as to, as tom was the origin of gloves for asking countries to try it. awesome. now the advocacy of buying, which is a lot of the key banks and the confidence policy, the way puts in financing measures instructors to give you african countries chip rules to georgette economies. although they has been issues tied up in the demo or the continents such as food security, the silver arrest is up to the country. the new patient that has come to play 80

and hopkins, continental retail area where now often countries i'm all sent that i'm doing in industries the businesses do a pause the library who's and also come to public c, which has page a lot of the use of course the content and don't know. the huge consists of the us labor force of the continents. it is not a good time for us to push these lima force to use to training and pilots are also investments in labor that are currently critical for when it comes in as growth and development going forward. and to what extent is colonial rule historical and you're still being felt in africa today. the stuff is the zip code that conversation has. so not ended because i have been told the growth has become important for was african countries. the mindset is something that people most

asking construct, tried to change. we're seeing congress like toronto, south africa. and can you come in? i told a very different because history above, i'll build a new strong guy economies. and that is able to push themselves with it. the global space when it comes to the ticket size and the value to resources, it is something that we couldn't do before by overtime. we've seen that africa house, it's for as far as the information. when we go to the low side of the room, there was a rush, you know, the conversation has done montgomery and about how you can help us. but how we can cooperate to pull up rates to bring what they show, especially to industries. indeed advocate customers. so why don't we make which are confidential? the conversation has always now been about how we can pull up race to the use of resources. and also how we get in cause the value of the content is what they show

me. but winston talk a business journalist, thanks very much for talking us through here or not. see the significance of africa day. thanks very much. thank you very much. it in other news, the us will shift away from his attempts to transform the middle east. now, before we're into focus on building partnerships in the region, that's according to the assistant secretary of defense, full stuff of these plans and capabilities mar calling. this is a paradigm shift in our approach to the region. one that is de emphasizing unrealistic aims of transformation that were often pushed through through unilateral military needs. and instead, this paradigm is really focused on our comparative advantages in partnerships and the fundamentals of sound policy. so washington's revised policy is set to focus on partnerships, shifting away from basing us troops in the region, while washington continues to accept his influence with the middle east are considered by many to be an integral part of it. so considering the track record in

iran, iraq and syria, and if you, it's has a long road. i had lots of discuss this. let's cost live now to syria. jen is steven, so we need thanks very much for joining us, steven. if it's all i just want to get your thoughts on this revised different logic strategy in the middle east visited with methics strategy. i actually instead of it too late because they already the united states foreign policy and the united states state departments of this administration. and administration at the back of cost, so much problems and so much destruction, so much so much this in the so these in the destroyed, you get all the destroyed glib. yes. just destroy them on because the war in the, in syria. but in reality, it's not that they are not interested in displeasing anymore, and they don't want to the regime change of they say it is that you're seeing the

peer threat. and i said this in several of the of my articles, an interview passed interviews in oh, it looks like we've lost steve. so we need the journalist from syria. we'll try and get them back a little bit later in the program. well now over to, to kia web votes is all preparing to go to the polls once again with only 3 days until the decisive presidential elections. and he will not see you. we're bringing you all the latest updates and all special coverage. the strongly believe that we will continue to serve our nation for the next 5 years or so to me, we will absolutely, absolutely. when these elections in the 2nd round, every one will say the but with the 2nd round, just around the corner,

the lead to of took is on the migration victory policy has bites, opposition, candidates come out to reach the roller, who failed to secure enough thoughts to win the 1st time but was not connect with the current president or the one we've also it's candidates in on. no one has already given to support and over 5 percent off of those to the incumbent, president of the correspondence shaped bows. that brings the latest details on the intrigues behind with the most closely watched elections this year. as things don't seem to be going according to plan in turkey is landmark election. at least not if you're a supporter of pro western candidate come out cubic star lu. well, western media and turkish posters, a like widely predicted a big win for the liberal candidate. the expected landslide never materialized leading to a knee jerk allegation of fraud manipulation of the vote. and these irregularities, and the more you know, no bounce anymore. on may 28th, we need 5 people, not one or 2 at each bell in the box. we need many more valium, valid books,

officials, and observers that we can rely on under all circumstances. they reproach if imposing their own data unilaterally. biotech, you now those and presenting their own data is an absolute truth that everyone should accept has collapsed. but today they continue to act as if nothing has happened. as usual, the opposition is even acute or the want of holding a fire sale of turkish citizenship in a cynical attempt to do supporters, conservative candidacy. oh, so you did not protect your country's board as an owner or the on it was not enough . you sold the citizenship of the republic of to kia for them both at the votes. and so more predictably, the western media, which widely supports are the one's opponent, now seems to have the legitimacy of the entire election of their sites with senior european officials alleging a wide spread conspiracy to steer the public away from or the ones in buckled

challenger. i regret to note that the election administration's work was lacking in transparency as well as the overwhelming vice of the public media and the limitations to freedom of speech. as of the size of 2nd round of voting approaches, the potential shock result may not be the election of the west reforming candidate with a surprise re election of took keys. veteran liter receive tie up early to one. if so, all eyes will be on those that proclaimed are the ones imminent to fees on whether they know she would accept the mandate of the turkish people. was thousands of people in don't boss have lost everything they had in the wall. volunteers and local authorities are doing well. they come to help dozens of refugees of us as a refugee census. excuse me, have been settled across the russia, including the don't boss with civilians can find temporary shelter. i'll tease, sees, we need cripples around. 200 people are living here in this temporary accommodation,

the don't yet people's republic. most of them have fled from all to him. all square fighting raged for more than $200.00 days. most that we spoke to a boy by mixture of russian soldiers and suits and the wagner private minutes, the company they've been hiding in their basements, avoiding the constant setting that destroyed large parts of the city. we spoke to them about their experiences in altima on the hooks for the future. the ones that could really buy used to work at the factory, it was closed mobilization begin immediately. the management gave us a choice of either joined the army or quit. so all the men resigned and i have not worked since then. so maybe to go machine ization in front of my eyes. the ukrainian military stopped to man and a woman in austin to show the documents for me. the man was ask why he isn't serving in the army. he said he was disabled and they did not like that. and they shot him along with the woman. we had many similar stories in our city. the nationalist would shoot men for not serving the russian military didn't harm us.

they pulled us out and evacuated us in the ukrainian military only asked us why we were sitting in our basement. they were telling us to leave, but they didn't say where we could go. we would like to go home, but there is only rubble. when can we return? i would return, but everything is destroyed. of course i'm drawn to my homeland. i thought i would grow old there. everything was set up for this sunday monsieur, this. we experience very heavy shilling. they would 2 explosions for you. there is no medication. we were in the basement. one woman was operated without anesthesia. i don't know about the future. we just hope for the best here that are provided with close food humanitarian assistance. and most importantly, psychological supports as a number of refugees increases more surprise i needed, as jesus does, most of us because they have 3 meals a day here or they can take

a shower, do their laundry. they live here, people bring humanitarian aid. clothing medicines are given out, doctors come every day, and now there is a hair dresser for them. if it does that in the field, we give out all new things with tags. these are shoes, underwear, t shirts, and sports trousers, according to the local mass, around 3 and a whole 1000 refugees in the city from ology, and we'll spend the surrounding region. from here, they will be processed and that will be housed in towns and cities across the don't yet see republic, all of the parts of russia, if they desire. but the people here have one thing, hope hope for the future hope for peace. this is steve sweeney in the don't yet for public, for all to the then joe biden has claimed credits full personally convincing australia india, japan to form a quote. alliance is comments when viral i bet you i would maybe some of you fight it, but i doubt many, many, many, many people in this audience,

for any other audience would have said that 2 years after being elected, i'd be able to convince india, australia, japan and united states to form an organization called required to maintain stability in the indian ocean and the south china sea. the republican national committee is it's which our accounts was quick to fact check by them. as the groundwork for the group was settled in 2007, and then we established under the trump administration in 2017. it's just one among many of the confusing comments made by the us presidents. they also claim that so how speaker nancy pelosi save the country's economy during the great depression and forgot the name of south korea's liter. i had spoken on length with president loan of south korea. he came to washington of late. just imagine, i mean a sincerely, i say this is a father of a man who lost his life, interact with nancy lady in a way he never had to worry about was the bill of past jo pressed through the

economy with great depression. most of the rest and radio host run, the car depot says abida and having control of nuclear bomb is not funny. and i see the pattern here. he has alzheimer's or he has dementia and he certainly doesn't have control of his faculties upon and you know, it's, but mark, it's not a laughing matter because this is a guy who has control over, you know, what could be the end of the world. he's got, you know, connections to the, to the atomic bomb and he can push the button. so it's, it's really not a laughing matter on any front. but, um, yes, this, this is a pattern. it's been like this for many years. it's a little tricky to burlesque it or make fun of it because it does have serious consequences in the, in the sense that he is exacerbating. he is a,

he is escalating a, a conflict. he has no idea what he's doing right now. over there in europe, and he's totally controlled by people who don't have control of their facts. these people like people like jake sullivan in victoria newland. and i'm totally blanking. they've got control of this guy who doesn't have control of his own mind. finally, moscow is hosting a summit of top security officials from a number of countries on the sidelines of the for amounts he spoke with on buses of somebody. and so don, who says security conference is important to boost joint measures to deal with security threats. and i think this is like, this is very useful for the hold words because the people in charge of security and diplomacy. gov up together discuss issues related to

international security and related to the motion of the system and to discuss with which is for the benefit of, of the gulf. countries like 1012 countries to come to this of this house. this meeting is very, very important in that to this is the, the central occasion when he does discuss the various global states as they affect, not only in russia, africa, but the entire group. so he does not able to come up with measures in which to intervene on that list such as rates which are affecting the whole group. those are the main stories this. how do you head over to our com or our social media pages for more? scotts and i'll be back again in the.
