sites and are partly evacuated, at least one of the buildings that was hit. the area has been corded off by police and according to law scales, mayor, no casualties have been reported. we spoke with a couple of locals at the site. premier smith um and usually the school so many people it is an expected as they believe that most goes well protected. people like me, we understand that this might happen. we were ready, but it caused bindix. i'm a journalist myself, i also people and they said that everything is normal and they don't panic, but that's what i don't understand how not to you. because for me it's terrifying. everything that's happening is terrifying. you and you pretty much, of course, when you go at the text this morning on, must go with a drones equipped with explosive warheads demonstrate the disregard that has been shown. no bikes, us in this serious escalation of its attacks on moscow. these wearing your average domestic drone to the child or finally, with flying to park these kite significant warheads and locally were shut down and

destroyed by the russian army. of course, nobody was impacted by this type today, luckily, but as you can see behind me, this building was hit by debris we believe from one of the drones which was destroyed up the very base so that you can see there's a child's playground. and this morning, as these attacks took place, it was ordinary families who were potentially going to be the victims of this indiscriminate and desperate terrorist attack on moscow. meanwhile maintenance workers had been examining the damage near the top of a high rise building hit by a u a v. the operation requires special gear and special skills. we spoke about these attacks with sonya of on that end, an independent dutch journalist who says, key of does not want to take responsibility for its actions in prison is always denying of the attack. last time when there was in the tank on the kremlin

ukrainian defense ministry or let's see it as being cool. so i think a drug that's it, all the kremlin, that they know for sure not a tech to go see surgery. you know, let's try it. we're normal relations with russia, so they don't need russian level to you said this. he said in an interview in the germany to come in. yeah. but yeah, yeah, they haven't been attacking now the kremlin and they are attacking a residential area. so i mean, they are moving themselves through terrorism, of course they will not blame their own country down those years. did they do this? because when i do that then uh yeah, it's x v s page and aggression. what we kind of say. and now they are saying, no, we didn't do it, so it's just terry's. maybe they will come up later on with the explanation. who knows? i don't know, of course, but it could be that those groups who are at the border, which they call that number for you, russian sort of,

they want to live right. question and decided consisting of russians. maybe they, this is an explanation that they gave, of course, because when they say read it is, well, what i say it's in the rest of the question is, uh yeah, actually you can say it's of x, a war access denied, beijing's administrative defense has given the pentagon, the cold shoulder denying a request to hold a private meeting on the sidelines of an upcoming security for him in singapore. here's the statement given by the us defense departments to the wall street journal . overnight. the p r. c informed us that they have declined. our early may invitation for secretary austin to meet with pierce the minister of national defense leasing food and singapore. this week, the department believe strongly in the importance of maintaining open lines of military to military communication between washington and beijing. to assure the

competition does not fear into conflict. time for a little background on beijing's decision, the by and administration last week up held sanctions on the chinese defense minister himself lee, shang food. donald trump had initially put those in place for the officials role in china, purchasing russian missiles and fighter jets back in 2018 rejection comes at a time when us lawmakers have published a controversial list of actions to be taken to prepare, tie one for so called peace by farming the nation. us congressional committee focused on the chinese communist party released a document called 10 for taiwan. it's 10 recommendations that are headlines with the aim to preserve peace and stability in the taiwan strait. however, our number one of the list is the manufacturer and supply of more long range missiles to the in the pacific region. adding that the $19000000000.00 of military gear on order from type patient get delivered. all that many suspect is to be used

against china earlier, a batch of us thing or missiles arrived in taiwan as part of an aide package promised by washington. chinese foreign ministry, spokes person mountain named condemns the move, stating it's extremely wrong and dangerous. a negligence on the us provision of weapons to taiwan gravely violates the free china us joint communiques, especially the august 17 communicate it interferes in china is internal affairs harms. china is sovereignty and security interests and undermines peace and stability across the street. this is extremely wrong and dangerous. china strongly deplores and firmly rejects this and has made serious they marches to the us. we discuss the situation with i in our tank, getting the senior fellow at the ty, hey, institute the think tank, who agrees that washington is playing a dangerous game? this is a political posturing um, but the binding administration knew that they needed to remove that sanction that

the sanction was actually meaningless. there was no reason to do that other than they did not want the meeting to occur. so it, it's clearly pastoring this trying to be put this case for the us to somehow being reasonable. and then it's china being unreasonable when it's the exact reverse. this is a common play by the us currently to accuse others of what they're doing themselves . you know, this, it is juncture, you know, there's not much trying that can do if they don't feel that there's any point to these meetings or that the u. s. as in being sincere that, but that is a problem. you have to nuclear nations at loggerheads and you know, this is adding to the uncertainty in the world. so at this juncture, i wish the white house was going for with some effort, instead of trying to cause more uncertainty to create more trust. you know, there's this effort to use proxies and obviously while we interrupt our regular

news, our for some breaking news, russian president vladimir putin is now speaking about this morning's drone attacks on moscow. let's listen and can you please get, give your assessment of what happened? that was mattress must be taken to avoid this in the future and how we can react to it. you know, it started a long time ago. i will have to repeat myself after the collapse of the soviet union. it was never told that there will be some kind of competition. and guess those who did these, they came from the assumption that all will happen due to our closeness historic ties and so on. and so forth, but at all when differently re granted believes. so something we might have expected, though, we could with us about the territories that is so with me, from the cold ukraine. from the beginning,

it was under control who were led by the west have chosen the path not only and even a threat to russia, but they weren't creating anti russia. they had to deal somehow with the people who believed in those se, se, crane. and because a lot of voters lived there and they had to take into account their opinion, but when being bound to t crane was just just emerged from the very 1st step in their independence declaration. they declared themselves in utah state and on the line state. another route, but then gradually they chose a different path. they chose the path of alignment with nato, that is a hostile organization for russia that was established as anatomy for russia. reasoning. and then at some point without any reason,

they any outward reason. they said that the want to join nato in the western countries alliance countries. i think it was in bucharest. at the latest summit, they declared that the doors to ne 2 are open for a crane. so it is not enough that the line to us when they said that there would be no east, where it expansion of nato, but they have even reached ukraine and in 2014, as you are well aware, they started kuda time. they started to eliminate everyone who wanted to have normal relations with russian one way or another. and other than that, they started a war in don't bass facilities and don't bass. and then they lied to everyone. when they said that the one to resolve the situation with peaceful means, now they say it openly, that they were lying. they just want one to 2,

when some time to gather up their forces to must rob those forces who and now it's raised to the situation when threat dro and attacks rushing armed forces who have to respond. russia have to respond to the war, at least, and done best buy the ukranian region. here. it's a really long list. so seem to start as a special military operation. russian armed forces are a striking ukraine, but with high precision weapons, and they are targeting the military infrastructure or the are as depos or other than you think it could be use for the meal, it to reaction. but we've already mentioned that we can step on strike the decision making sanders decision making headquarters. obviously, the reason that the military intelligence of ukraine headquarters of these

organizations is also one of such targets. and in response, as you are well aware of the key, for example, they chose a different path at that to try to intimidate russia, to intimidate the citizens of russia, to try to target residential buildings. it isn't of this indicator of a terrorist activity, but 1st of all, i would like to say that the moscow's air defense were in a satisfactory manner and there is still some progress to be made. we faced a similar problem. the scene else may mean in syria to the side or so the territories of our error base in syria and moscow are not comparable because most goes a huge cdls european scale. but it's obvious what needs to be done to make the air defense around our capital. c t better,

and we will do that for you if you'd like to. but what is of concern is an attempt to cause a response from russia. they provoke us to the similar actions and what we'll see, what we will do about it by the citizens of ukraine, consumption. so when you look, obviously they have no voice because there is a terror reason blood and terrorism against people who want to speak during mines. but they should see what the current authorities of the country are pushing them towards to and they should understand that there is another threat. wait, for example of the situation at the zip. i don't see a nuclear power plant or to use some kind of dirty devices. some relating that have to do with the nuclear industry. we have already on voice these concerns and number of times it is obvious that whatever we say they,

we will always try to put the blame on russia. but we're not the one school least this more, the key present started this more in don't bass and we weren't the ones who use the means that are being used by the ukrainian military ukraine and thoughts. and, and other evidence of that is an attack against a bill and sides in moscow, but our air defense worked properly. there is still something to improve about it and we know how to do it as well. that was the russian president vladimir putin there making some comments about that. the drone attacks that new crane launched on moscow the russian capital earlier today, earlier on tuesday, just to give you a bit of a rundown of what he said, if you weren't able to catch the entire talk that the put and was just able to give

he said that a key of is basically led by the west and they've chosen a path of terrorism and a path of lying. essentially, the nato lied about no longer expanding eastward to russia and also lied about being, trying to stay true to a peaceful resolution of the then done boss conflict was specifically with the minister protocols. he also said he won't want to reiterate that russia did not start this war, that it was kids that began hostilities in the don boss and declared war on the people have done boss there, and that's a rush. obviously it came to the 8 of these people in that the ukrainian people should actually see as things like this, these terrorist attacks taking place against the russian people and understand what their government is doing in reality. so that's basically a wrap up. what of what the vladimir putin said, and we'll move on with our regular programming now. now can you,

as president, is seeking to establish a pan african payment system to help pitch the bullets us dollar from global commerce? we are all struggling to make payments for goods and services from one country to another because of differences in currencies. and in the middle of all of these, we are all subjected to a dollar environment. the thing is, the president has urged his african counterparts to mobilize central banks and commercial banks to join the system. launched last january, the so called pan african payments and settlement system eases intra african trade and was backed by the african union and central banks. the president argues that african business men should concentrate on moving goods and services and leave the currency activities to the african export import bank. according to an associate professor at the university of south africa forming one currency for all of africa, is not an impossible task. the,

the idea behind the additional coverage or do you have any current status for me is that all the options i want to evaluate on car is in by the end of 5 choose united states. you will lose that also in take care of these as well. as income as a quantity and the guy just to find 14153 values and god probably be used by december of things. you know, if there's not.
