actually in hesitantly the united states is consciously and they were tree bleed descending into the abyss of hostilities in europe. it's really, i don't, it isn't it that some when you put the west leads a native narrative under the microscope, you keep coming up with these phrases, the escalation, your name. so the claims that it's all about the escalation stilton, but made a point themself. a couple weeks ago with the scripted interview with the washington post, the escalation. but in fact, when you listen to someone like judge pony, you know, he's a great induces politician who's quite mostly, is not present to them, making polemic comments. so i think for him to say this, i think we should take it very seriously. i think um, typically is signaling to russia to west of, to media in general that the west is about to up the answer of the stakes. and it's a and it's will with russia, so will, to, we expect some of the future is indicating, i think cleverly signaling that the ministry strikes outside of the book. the

bullet is on the crate of now to be expected versus foreign minister, a surrogate a lot for. busy phase in move them be for towards the 3rd country of his tour of africa. most school sees the continent as a new center of rising power. so let's get into those remarks. what it means with ortiz worlds apart. so stocks down the book is who's following the ministers trip last time we spoke at zone it was in kenya, you're not a little bit further side. what's being lean, what's the main focus of these discussions of the well, uh, good morning from the put to you and then uh its uh, the 3rd stop as you said on uh, saturday levels, african tour. and uh, let me correct you slightly. russia sees africa not as a new center of, uh, burgeoning geo political influence, but the economic activity, but actually as an old one,

but the main we developed and often exploited it. and because in many countries have been using africa as a so essentially a resource base rather than investing in its industries investing in its people. and this is something that is actually changing not only because of fresh is that for especially schemes to participate in that. but there is also a major implants of china try, kit, our country is all through all the the continent, then they're all competing for it. you know that their share in the development of africa. but also hoping to change the paradigm of how these the, the african nations and the rest of the world are cooperating to change your paradigm from the one that has been practice for as many decades. if not centuries, as african countries served as the colonies for a more developed world now. so as i mentioned, it's this 3rd stop on to the level of african tour. he is

a frequent visitor here. it's already his 4th uh, trip uh, around africa, over the last years since the beginning of the russian military operation in ukraine. and this is not a coincidence because these constant then happens to be one of the most effective, surprising they saw by the facilities between russia in the west, somebody ukraine, because russia is the world's top supplier of both wheat and fertilizers. and some of those experts are being blocked by western sanctions. now there's one case in particular, last year uh, a very large batch of russian fertilizers were, uh, was seized by the european union inside by latvia, roughly 300000 tons. and it took many, many months with the you and mediation to have them released. now russia is delivering them to a number of african countries. it has already delivered the 1st batch to kenya.

it's also set to deliver uh supplies to um, allow we, um, hopefully nigeria later on some other countries may also be part of the deal. and this is one of the practical steps that the international community has taken so far too. less than the facts of the crisis and ukraine on the, on the rest of the world, and particularly on the most effective countries. now here's what sort of gilbert all had to say about this. people don't even know you're on the lake. many other african countries is in dire need of fertilizers and they want the supply of russian fertilizers to continue and expand. we are ready for this. as you know, last september, president clinton said we're ready to transfer free of charge. 300000 tons of our fertilizer illegally sees the e u ports to african countries. however, the leadership in full accordance with their colonial practices and habits blocks

this initiative, it took 6 long months to send at least the 1st batch of $20000.00 times to malawi. and recently there was another shipment of a comparable amount of fertilizers to kenya. the same delivery as planned to nigeria in the near future are sure now because of the facts of the ukrainian crisis on the african continent and the very basic concerns that many of the local governments have to deal with as well as because of the fairly good history of cooperation in french and between russia and formerly the soviet union and many of the african countries because somebody's union was a strong supporter of african and independence movements throughout the continental . because of all those factors, many africans, including mozambique, where i'm sending right now, have taken the position of neutrality on the ukranian conflict. some of them have proposed peace initiative switch so far,

remain on unexplored. let's put it diplomatically. but overall, russia intends to develop its relations with this continent. in fact, in it's a new foreign policy concept. the issue, the roughly 2 months ago, it was said that the russian federation is, is intending to make sure that africa becomes a distinct and influential center of global development. then the way to do that, according to a russia, is to help develop local industries. here in mazda and big, one of the areas of cooperation is oil and gas. this country is largely endowed with mineral resources, with oil, in particular with many metals, but uh, over the last couple of tickets. they were primarily explored in mind by western majors. and this is something that local can see constituents also want to change. one of the russian companies to ross may have has

a 3 licenses to explore uh for oil in this country. and they, they're hoping to take this cooperation further to the areas of education. for example, russia is giving free scholarships to mazda and pick on students. they are also looking into development of the corporation in the public sphere. so lots on the agenda today. um, later on, uh so get lumber off after finishing of his meetings in my put to so you'll have it will travel to south africa for the meeting all the, for the ministers of the bricks. countries with some other african nations also being invited to attend. so many of those discussions will be continued as he goes further on his journey. yeah, so don't forget another country, a russian ties go deep, long, and thank 6 down to very much share for all the breakdown of those discussions. ortiz worlds of parts post x on it will r t has spoken with the president of cuba in exclusive and miguel

d as cut out covered a wide range of issues ranging from his country's historical ties with russia to the challenges the caribbean nation is facing today. in the face of us, impression dakota, starting to today's global international relations, is the united states of america as aggressive human istic policy of building goals, imposing punitive sanctions blacked them out of aggression and slander. i think breaks provides a brilliant alternative for economic integration, especially for developing economies on the poor nations. the circle, 3rd world countries, the global style. because brick stands, the multi part of the relations. and i believe that we need to recognize the leading role of russia in the shaping of this multi part of well today, breaks nations as proponents of multi polarity with corresponding views of global economy on proposing to give out the us dollar. so now the important question, what does it mean to give up the us domain in the context of international economy and trade? first of all of the don't arise, ations says this

a foundation from all inclusive, mutually beneficial relations as well as to base reaching out to companies like russia. the nation is still being targeted by us sanctions. unimed barger imposing the audit remains to us as the found on financial transactions and us dollars of i know, of course, is far from being alone and having to navigate through the american sanctions and punishments of the cuban liter expanded on to r. c. you can catch the 4 sit down tomorrow here throughout the day. can see that the attitude of the west and some european states is becoming more and more aggressive. does burrell, how to view or pain diplomacy has compact west in countries to adult and, and other states to our jungle, while french president mach phones remarks during his visit to africa, have been cooled down by new colonialist. why does to west have such as tons? i think such statements are part of a hedge, a monic way of thinking that always sees developing countries as it's backyard.

jenny saying that developed countries think about this, how to use developing countries results is to satisfy their imperial appetites. this is part of neo liberal bourgeois ideology. a powerful neighbour is keeping us on the economic pressure with the impulse continuously increasing this pressure and trying to seduce us at the same time. but all that is just lies an empty promises. it is at times like this that we get friends from other countries supporting us with real actions and under conditions that did not harmful to our independence. well, the written and solve a colonial, a scramble for resources, is still being felt more than a century on in south africa. london's attempts to satisfy its opportunities for the continents gold leaving some 70000 lives in the country. at the dawn of the 20th century as the british crushed bore resistance, r t corresponding cath, legal, miss. so me, expands though, on the grim on their grocery and why its legacy remains vivid. the say, such as may marks the 100 and 25th anniversary of the sick and south africa was

also referred to as the 2nd rule force between the british empire and the 2 independence who republic the war lasted from 18191919. 02, and has it a significant impact across the region and the, the, the narrative offers conflicts the leaves or rather between these 2 more in fire and the sides on the african. so has been carried through over many years and the police in to dispute thoughts and involvement of subjects. not only i'm reading your thoughts in this full but, and did some of the list pain and see facts lecture employed in the concentration

camps. the main with as many as you supplying age 14. and while the transporting food and weapons as well as animal seats, the women on the other hand, as well as the children are not stayed as they would to. the concentration comes as assistance to the main goal was to feed the front line combined those now the british plate suits in using the black label, his 5 and the movement of the fluids, as well as helping that which is navigate to the south african landscape. now, many of these black men and women died not as a result of the voice self fact from multiple diseases from the overcrowding in those concentration kids, as well as plus invitation. that was more problems as well. you know, suppression cash and have you guys on the program. this is the week the most comfortable. because for the fact that you are a human and you was me to field human, the zeros of the city as you must be entering the 19

a purchase and to defend it. the actions of his whole fathers during a dialogue about winston churchill legacy. now, jacob reese mould was justifying concentration, came strewing an appearance on pvc question time. while these concentration camps held black and we'll women and children against, they will often abruptly see them from the funds was over 27000 of them died at those can only 6000 men died as a result of the voice of that which is empty and says that the formation of the camps will for the safety, south african concentration camps had exactly the same mortality rate as existing laws go with the time. so that not a good thing. but where else were people going to live when that was the use of concentration? got no, i didn't on talking about the bull bull had people pushing and comes full. the protects was a bridgework then to the use a concentration. but i'm afraid to confusing concentration comes with it, says extermination. come outside of this. i like the any calls and the for the

family. i wouldn't move for all these were people who were in ton for the safety. the numbers of those that perished during the war remained conclusive for the put and the british. but alarmingly, the black masses who account for launch a percentage of the dates remain, i know which is campaign. a mg hop house has come out with the latest evidencing how look mona was a deal of the british army, had been since or other had brothers sent a glitches to or other he seems to be able to lead the situation in south africa at the time he also writes switches that meets the atrocities posts to the boys and the natives of the land. these include schools of children that were dying and how the conditions, in fact came so atrocious, with little to no food as well as milk basic health care. in the series that all the weekly children being dead, the rate would fall off is not so far borne out by the facts. the strong ones must be dying now and they will all be dead by the spring of 19

o. 3. i thought we had begun to turn the corner and that after having reached unparalleled heights of mortality in october, we should now show a heavy decline. unfortunately, the figures have risen again. alarmingly. this we can fill was a complex and lighted concepts that had far reaching consequences with southern africa and the close. it remains an important event in the history of imperialism and colonialism and serves as a reminder of the human cost of will. and. ringback that's of, i'm assuming for r t just finish this. all right, let's talk dollars and lots of them. the us congress is expected this wednesday to vote on legislation to give america more credit. treasury secretary, jelly to yellen, wharton the country may default. so let's financial obligations as early as next week, if the debt ceiling is not raised. we know estimate that treasury will have in sufficient

resources to satisfy the government's obligations if congress has not raised or suspended the debt limit by june 5th. during the week of june, 5th, treasury is scheduled to make an estimated $92000000000.00 of payments and transfers. therefore, our projected resources would be inadequate to satisfy all of these obligations. all right, let's break that done. the fiscal responsibility. yeah, that would allow washington to borrow more over the next 2 years and then set certain spending limits to the end of the decade. one major reason for the needed injection. the us defense budget is reported to be funded to the tune of $896000000000.00 for the 2024 fiscal year. the biggest ever piece time figure debates um delay over the bill has been sent it on previous republicans a month to cut spending. however, reports a many of those purse strings did not get tightened or to contribute or chris, and this takes us through the run the vacations of the debt ceiling door being

kicked in. it would be absolutely catastrophic. the country's, the on the risking is the end of the day that the g d. p is box on us. that's right . says the us, that defaults and that their entire basically all those bones that hold him to come with this. i think they can reduce it by starting to strategically acquire other assets. you know, we've seen the russian government do that by lots and lots of goals and the whiskey from your best thought of as, as you're buying things that time to go buy things that are real things that i would say, you know, if you took a gold even big point, you're countries buying bitcoin as well, alternative asset classes that all just pieces of paper. because, you know, if you, let's take dollars for example, right. gold is that something that's used uh, people like to wear on that things when they get my i give it like to wherever it around that the next people like to, you know, wherever them watches those kind of things, the things that would take value in the long term, the question is, how long can they keep raising the debt ceiling? how long is the ball going to believe that these, these all sufficient numbers that are on the screen? these pieces of paper is actually, why don't say we have the money,

we owned by the real anything. i mean we, they've got a bit of a way to go, let's look at the us defense budget. the us defense budget. this. yeah. was one trillion dollars extra normally. right. so if they keep raising, i know eventually when that when the people wake up and realize that this, this is not real, they just to buy too much. they reduce the, the standard of living to the vast majority of that population. and the only way to keep the perpetuate the life is to just keep them bothering more money and trying it at the file and crates it. yeah, big 24 hours ahead. stateside, the white house has also said that the budget agreements reached with congress will not affect the allocation of additional funding for ukraine. former senate aid on writer tartar read, sage that was bossed, sums of money are being spent on the military. ordinary american citizens are suffering this year. for the 1st time coming up, the defense budget will be one trillion dollars which some unimaginable amount.

meanwhile, roads in america are falling apart. the infrastructure is the economy is down, and inflation is up 40 percent. we have the highest child poverty rate we've ever had. the highest homeless rate in history. our economy is crashing and they're continuing to war bonder. well, i know when you look at the main stream media in the west, what you see, our social cultural issues trending or things like that. but you have to understand that's artificial. americans are concerned about one thing right now. the economy, they're losing jobs or wages are stagnant infrastructure, just falling apart. fuel prices are off the roof. okay, something else to tell you about today, a jewish religious school has been built in a west bank guide. posts where is released previously withdrew from in 2005, a stipulated in the gallons a disengagement plan and especially bombing their return to the area. but the new

is really government has listed that restriction and brought again to the for the contentious issue of settlements. in the region, ortiz, middle east correspondent, the phenomena takes up the story. when it comes to is rarely probably seen in conflict, you hear many stories about palestinian villages surrounded by drew, supplements, and roads, and claims cattle from the rest of the west bank. but the story is truly unique. you do israel's active construction and supplement expansion. this palestinian house found itself locked from 3 sides by jewish villas and separation. well, that the lady that these really occupations always choose as a high location the overlooks the entire area to live in, in order to fully control it. sadly, my house is on the highest point of the village and saw dogs family has been living in this house since 1979 settlers came after and started building all around, including on 10 heck,

there was of land belonging to the high ups. several colt baffles. couldn't stop it in 2004 separation wall security battery, a israel track just following violence probably stayed in, uprising snaked around how does house to protect his neighbors from him and his family. it doesn't have to be cameras surface. same go when his rarely security put a gate in front of the house, that only they have control of it totally locked to go in and out. the family needs permission that they often denied. and the rest of it didn't have a i wish the world would see the truth about these really democracy. i hope they see what they do to the palestinian people, how they steal our land, and put everyone in big and small prisons. my family's life represents the lives of all palestinians. items assessor is wanted the kids to leave, threatening attacking, reporting to police. so that says he and his relatives were injured many times. and he spent 3 months in jail where he was offered money to leave the house. these

really authorities attempt to cut this gordon not kinda, not of i was recently offered 25000000 dollars in the chance for immigration, with a form passport for me. and my family, what 25 or a 100000000 will not make me think twice. this is a legacy for my ancestors. no matter how much they offer an exchange for this land . even if they kill me and my family in this house, i will never leave for mister harry at the willow sods. children, he has 4. can go to the playground only when the gate is open and they know it. they also know that it would be a bad idea to throw something over the wall when they bolt accidentally flew day once. they were detained for 4 hours and were not released until so i thought i'd signed the paper promising it will not happen again. not surprisingly, the kids did not speak in favor of the neighbors. they used to hurt my grandfather and make him suffer. they came here to accumulate us. they don't want to pose time

for arabs. they won't post time for themselves, only him to get rid of us. we saw people from the other side of the fence and tried to communicate, but they made it clear that they are not willing to talk. and is rarely settlements to the right time is rarely supplemented to the left side. that's house is sandwich, right? in the middle, there was also a security road down there. and around that the family can not use a produce only live here is far from easy. they have had many chances and reasons to move, but they didn't for almost 45 years and say they will never do so as this is the home. but it's notion at all to you from bait aids, valley student administration. the gap from the middle east to central africa worrying development this over 200 cholera cases in the space of a week. i've been detected in one time in the democratic republic of congo. 5 people have lost their lives already to the water born disease and fears. are

mounting things could escalate rapidly unless more health finds its way to the capital in the countries ext the the color is it is easy to see hands. it is, it's these from elsewhere which shows the inequality in the spread of results is in our country. the hospital participates by emphasizing communication on hand hygiene and food hygiene as well. it is in this sense that the hospital intervenes to help bully inhabitants of the south keep you in because who in particular to fight against this disease, the

toilet i received that let me get started at night we wake up in the morning, which is the patient and sent him to the hospital. we think them were so no difficulties when we arrived. they received the patient into the team. and so far the patient is feeling well. we think the general hospital, the okay, the facing, what kind of response. so delivery of american f, 16 jets to ukraine, cut elicit from most scope. it's across top, next, very close, pronounced and i'll catch you again. the,

the, the hello and welcome to cross software. all things are considered on peter lavelle. the kremlin has made it clear deliveries of f. 16 jets because we've been unacceptable escalation. we've heard this former forensic before think back to the weeks before the start, the brushes special military operations. the russians weren't bluffing, bent, and they're not bluffing. now the cross section ukraine and escalation, i'm joined by my guess. then come all like in pittsburgh. he is a professor of law and the author of the plot,

the scape goat russia in tampa. we have larry johnson, he is a managing partner for burg associates and a former c i. a analyst and u. s. state department, countering terrorism. official annabel rate because to john bobs, which he is a political consultant to our gentleman crosstalk roles in effect. that means it can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate it very let me go to you. person tampa a lot. better off words. unacceptable. escalation this it gave you, it rang a bell with me because we heard this the months before the complex that started in february 21 and, and i take it very seriously. i have told the guests that listen to me in the west . the russians don't bluff your thoughts, larry. oh no, i agree with you. rush to rush. it is not the united states in that regard of the, i guess the good news is that the f sixteens abilities are, you know, capabilities are grossly exaggerated. uh, yeah. so that it will market escalation,

rush, it has all the tools and equipment from the standpoint of our defense systems to shoot them down. so they will be the, it will just be one more example of the united states of banjo as a whole of wasting military resources. and the only thing to accomplish, see, this just irritated russia. i dan, basically the same question. this is in the backdrop, and then the last 24 hours that were drone and there was a drone multiple drone attacks on the moscow region. very little damage. and i don't think anyone was killed or are even really seriously injured. but it does, could set a precedent here we, we, we had with the, the, the, there was an attack on some kind of command control center around tab. so this is an escalation that is going up the escalation ladder. we're all traveling up. unfortunately, there's a certain point where you don't want to get on the escalation ladder and you know what i mean, go head down in pittsburgh. you know, this is a quite frightening situation and i should say that a one point, joe biden himself,

it said that sending these types of weapons to ukraine would be crossing the red line that he didn't want to cross. but apparently were willing to, we keep moving that red line further and further. and yes, we are, you know, possibly headed towards a greater complet ration. it should be noted, of course, there's nato troops now in kosovo. were beating up on protesters and lab robins saying that, you know, serbia, kosovo could be another increasing hot spot in europe. i mean, this really has all the markings of a greater we're on the floor and i think we all need to be very, very cognizant of that. and the need to be raising our voice is against it. well it john, um we have heard this great famed that it almost very tell the story about a counter offensive it's we just have to wait a little bit longer. so we throw in the have sixteens here. i seriously doubt they

have sixteen's all ever arrived there because for the very reason that larry just mentioned, they'll just be shot down. i mean, the united states has been fighting hurts been for the, for the quarter century. they have it in stock, and it with a peer power and using conventional box. never having foss anatomy that has an air force, i think, in what, over 50 years. john? well that, that number of 50 is a, is a, uh, coincidentally quite accurate number because the f 16 is a 45 year old fighter. it was developed in 1978. it's now 45 years old. and so what we're talking about is sending in a fighter, which would be the equivalent of the british spit fire from 1945 into a battle in 1990 and the go for that's the difference between today's take a lot of the technological advances and what was done in the past.
