very serious allegations of corruption by the bite and family, and prevented this information about their investigations of the biden family and their activities and ukraine from coming to life for years. for years. the api, i kept this him, this is republican, james, calmer, describing the seriousness of the investigations into the bite and family and joe biden at hunter biden. and the corruption that may have gone on this is what we heard from james. calmer age suggest a pattern of bribery where payments would be made through shall accounts and multiple banks. there's a term for that's called money log. that again is what the, the majority of the suspicious activity reports also says. so we feel. busy that this accusation is consistent with the pattern that we're seeing, frankly, in other countries. we believe there are multiple duck. now the evidence seems to

indicate that the biden administration and previously, joe biden is vice president, had corrupt connections and ukraine. we can recall how hunter bite and joe biden son was hired by verisk, my holdings and natural gas company ukraine, despite having almost no experience or relation to the issue of natural gas and was paid quite a salary for that. and that the prosecutor and your grand new with looking into it was fired, and joe biden brag about having fired. uh so now we understand there has been an effort by the, the guy to conceal and, and not pursue the investigation into the binding family around this issue. as biden's critics are pointing to the reason indictment of trump as yet another example of the pollutants ization. and weapon is ation of the judiciary and of the department of justice to serve political. and they argue that biden is simply trying to prevent donald from being able to run against him. and it's 2024 election

that he's using the department of justice to carry out a political agenda. and this is simply a, a moment where the american law enforcement agencies are revealing themselves to be blatantly corrupt and politicize. so we'll have to see how things develop with his federal indictment against donald trump. well talk show host on political commentator, steve most probably believes the fact the same allegations against president biden are essentially ignored, proves the case against donald trump as political i don't believe that it's justified to be going after a former president for having documents in his possession when the colored president has documents and had documents in several locations, several locations, including his garage, where he keeps his court, his prize corvette, which is just a garage door with, which is you believe it has, you know, when it's open, anybody can walk in. i just think that this is political. you have

a special prosecutor that was appointed by the, by the attorney general in november of last year, november of 2022 already here in, in the beginning of june. we have charges, an indictment, the whole thing. when the hunter bind investigation's been going on for 5 years into his taxes and a gun application that he, that he filed. and these are this document that the f b i just handed over to a committee in the congress, which allegedly shows bribery involved the joe biden with for reason when he was vice president, that it's been the f b i position for years and years and years so why the rush for trump and no rush whatsoever for the by means, it just stinks, it looks bad and it is bad for, for, for, for everybody involved in, in the criminal justice system in the united states. okay, to north africa, arrive, olivia and functions of agreed on the legal basis to hold much delayed presidential

legislative elections. the votes were supposed to have been held 3 years ago. uncertainty is all not remain. however, with the country still very much divided, following the destabilizing nato. intervention and 2011, maybe a descended into chaos after the toppling and killing of its former liter little market, delphi which preceded a brutal civil war in which ne, to um, its allies supported rebel forces. before the term of the day, it had one of africa's strongest most stable economies. but natives over through created the field state and provided an opening for a carol group such as eyes or to take home. archie got a chance to talk to the live in spokes person of the former kit delphic government . mussa came in on expensive interviews. he expanded on the challenges his country is still facing today. how can the black perhaps olympian revolutionary regime made

a mistake by not taking advantage of the opportunities that were available to him in social terms and interaction with tribes, as well as an ideological and political spears in order to resolutely correct some mistakes made before those fateful events occurred in february 2011 and i think there were many means to reconcile libby and people, including religious ones. in addition, it was possible to appeal to the existing legislative bodies at the time. there was also a unified libyan army and the but later, all these channels were destroyed by natal bonds. natal completely destroyed the libyan armed forces with all military bases, aircraft armed formations and everything related to them, which are necessary for the libyan people to insure their own security. the people also need legitimate elected political structures, but nato destroyed all of those structures, eliminated their leadership,

forbade those people from electing new ones and appointed new structures from a broad, within the framework of foreign agreements under the auspices of when i live, you know, we, libyans, themselves are morally and culturally ready for reconciliation and dialogue to reach the solution. however, the current situation in libya does not allow this to happen because it was artificially planned to deepen the disunity and fragmentation of the libyan society . or the proof of this isn't the fact that rival so called legitimate political structures were created with the full support of the un and the west. they were provided with large budgets and armed formations and tied to certain tribes, geographical areas and militias. thus the west guaranteed that these parties would not be able to come to an understanding even if they wanted to, because their interest fundamentally contradict each other. both from the point of view of geography and finance and military terms.

libby, you and again, those libyans whom we can now see on the political stage are puns carrying out the plans of the west as they are financial beneficiaries with large profits. many the west uses the disunity of libyan society created by the later invasion in 2011. just as it was a new rock that were split still persists that more and not been on which has become a clause i states. because with the existing split, it cannot be called a flood states. and this also happened in afghanistan and in somalia, special libya is not on another planet. it is not science fiction. it is a link in the chain of imperialist control over this region. and then they want to tell you about some they messaging from the united nations. now, who said it will withdraw its mission from the democratic republic of congo. only

when the country gained strength. that was the statement voice by a top you and officials during a meeting in the congo leaves capital earlier is an old lady the most that we are going to continue this week. and at the same time work for the congo lease authorities. so that the process of the comes of the state becoming more powerful will enable us to reduce you a nation's presence. but to do so responsibly through all the un official also mentioned the frustration of peacekeepers with on risk for renewing and western parts of the country. wrecked by conflicts with militant includes the un peacekeeping mission to the d. r. c began at the end of the previous century. it's one of the largest costliest in the world with an annual budget of around a $1000000000.00. and while the u. n. plans to stay for now, locals, we spoke to on the streets of congest slammed and it was the western countries so just flattering us pretending it being peacekeepers. but for real we know that

losing our manual results is and use us back to this war. shouldn't even take a week to be out, but we surprised that west and isn't provoking more complex. instead of finishing it. so we realized they came for their own interest or research for this war, restarted again. now a year ago, people are joining by the international community in many countries don't care about it. so the d r c need supports as the cream does. we need strong security and mailed to assistance. we can't expect any help from westerners, as they have never resolved annual world conflict, even their own issues. all this comes from the time of colonization and slavery. now we can't expect help from the west and we need to be strong. the some more news this friday, the 100 and president us touch, done in china, and on her 1st visit after the countries re establish formal diplomatic relations back in march. both states underline the one china policy is a fundamental basis of growing bilateral relations. understood january the 2 sides

of some of the only relevant commitments johnny pushed for a robust beginning of china on juris relations on the basis of mutual respect, equality, mutual benefits and common development. if fully demonstrations of standing up for the one to try and the principle is the right thing to do, which has the overwhelming support of the international community that represents the trend of the wells fargo can't do anything to enjoy the basic kelloms on the hills of a newly opened chinese embassy in the central american english capital. the opening ceremony was attended by hunter and foreign ministry officials in march on curious, cut diplomatic ties with taiwan and recognize the island as part of china. the switch reduced the number of countries dot diplomatically recognized taiwan fits there. while the agent, if, for example, as nelson wong believes more companies will follow the lead of hunters and cover their ties with 5 on to the one china policy. it is all too natural for

president assume mall or a cost or to now make a official visit to buy g. so as a result to the number of countries that skew romaine size we supply one has come down to 13 by now, this is expected and not surprising at all. we're showing that people do understand how to be all the right side of history. the one china policy is something that is widely accepted in the international community, and everybody recognizes one china and that tie one is part of tried to. so actually i wouldn't be surprised if some of the remaining southern country is it's not all are also eager to drop that ties was tied pay. yeah. and the slips towards by g a nelson wall in there. meanwhile, just related to the, the french president's mutual position, which he recently outlined. and when it comes to relations with china has been

echoed in a new poll, which showed that a majority of europeans want their nations to depend less on washington for security. where are to come to be the original morrison has been offering or take the findings? they are okay. and council on foreign relations. a major european policy. think type who is the largest donor, has historically been finance here. george soros is open society foundations, but it also gets cashed from various european governments and the european union has just found in the survey of citizens from 11 different european countries that while just under half of europeans do, consider the continent security relationship with washington to be beneficial and the vast majority it see the us as an ally for a secret partner offering 74 percent of the figure that's out from 66 percent in november of 2020. also said that your cannot rely on the u. s. a needs its own defense capabilities, and speaking of autonomy, 62 percent of the 16000 europeans,

paul said that they want to stay unusual in any conflict between the us and china. in other words, europeans are on the same page as french president emanuel and michael paradox with b, that's overcome with panic. we believe we are just americans, followers the question, europeans need to answer. is it in our interest to accelerate on tie one? no. the worst thing would be to think that we, your opinions must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the us agenda and a chinese overreaction. matt who realizes that you can have truly independent foreign policy and positions of your own. if you can't stand on your own to fees, manual happened to come to this realization after a visit to china back in april and during which he scored some major business deals for france at the time when he desperately needed some darts on the board. as the country suffered and continues to suffer from high inflation and energy prices. so michael suddenly started speaking about china being an ally,

unlike washington's view of beijing as a full noun, the false report as did you put the one. as france supports the one china policy and the search for a peaceful settlement of the situation. this is the position of europeans and it is a position that has always been compatible with the role of ally. but it is precisely here that i insist on the importance of strategic autonomy between allies does not mean being a vassal something. it's amazing house. graves and big business deals from china, including the sale of a 160 new commercial jets for french headquartered airbags in a doubling of air buses production and china. a huge win over the european companies. american arrival. boeing. so you do in bold, and my calls hush, performer policy independence from washington. it's amazing what a bit of money can do, like the college curative gets a job. finally, it moves out, starts making his own task and now suddenly finds the courage to start telling mom and dad what he really thinks and what he really wants. and what my call apparently

really was, is more of the kind of the independence, the only money. and profitability, and by whose minds generally my calls world view of a need for independence from the u. s. and more neutrality on china position is obviously reflected by european citizens themselves. and this new paul flashes with a virtue signaling meters of the block that routinely twice audiology over pragmatism. i believe we can and we must carve out our own distinct europe in approach. but also the space for us to cooperate with other partners too. and the starting point for this is the needs to have a shared and very clear eyed picture of the risks and the opportunities in our engagement with china. so, you know, for us, china is a partner, a competitor, and a systemic rival. and i want to make clear that our impression is that the systemic

rival aspect intensifies increasingly if it wasn't just these 2 in charge, the you would spend all of its time luxury. everyone is doing business with no one they be like the teenager who never leads mom and dads basement because absolutely no job could ever possibly be good enough for them. but in my cool and most europeans, as obviously figured out that if you want independence, i control over your own choices and actions. then you 1st need to have some money and the process already the you set itself way back economically, way a jumped on the anti russian bandwagon following washington's lead. but at a much higher cost to europe stands with us, which ended up being the big beneficiary of all that. but the, you have to figure out now how to strike a balance between it's propensity for lecturing everyone on values that even it violates routinely on one hand and diversifying its cooperation to ultimately lift

itself. but to greater independence on the other side, africa's presidents is to who talks with his chinese culture part. i mean western speculation about the country switching us hosts of the upcoming brick summit that says pretoria has come under enormous pressure from the west over its obligations to the international criminal court, which is issued the arrest warrant for flooding. we're putting, however, the saw as to african minister of the presidency. say he's the plans to hold the summit in johannesburg, remain on changed. south africa has committed to a neutral spence over the ukrainian conflict. we'll have to talk more about. i'm the lights on. indeed much more as well and delighted to say we're joined by at most of philly and lucky to south africa's. i'm foster to the russian federation. you're most welcome and thank you very much. you then. thank you fantastic. and so your listeners absolutely. and before we perhaps delve into

a range of topics using pretoria is representative here in russia for a number of years during a particularly challenging time. regionally, i think it's safe to say with the ukraine and don't boss conflict to the forefront . how is it being navigating not time? uh, quite an interesting question. and quite actually a framed by to afford a diploma. the most interesting type because it keeps us busy, keeps us on our toes. so very infesting as a diploma to be at this point in time in the last year and federation. kelly bit and talk about the news today we, we have a speculation mainly from the west start south africa on china. it may swap as host of the upcoming brick summit, the background to the,

the international criminal court. at one thing vladimir put in to be arrested noise . so it's not for it. can ministers have said that's not going to happen. they mean remain focused on having august summit in johannesburg. what is the situation as far as we know on that? look, i agree with the position of the minutes does all the systems go as far as the guys can send the summit? the break some it will be inside of the country in august without any doubt or just remember the units in south africa is always maintain the position that we understand our international obligation as regards to our membership of the of the i. c. c. hi me or 20 seconds or so the guy has made it very clear that jace jean jones and jodi on the bottom that

was can i continue to hold off the guys also maintain the position? and as i mounts to the weather that blogs that to need to really engage with all of the parties in relation to the i c. c a. mm hm. so, but the question of switching, i do not know how that could have happened. yeah. because number one, the pro says for the preparation for the, for the assignment has only gone in as far as the meeting of the media spouse, the 5 breaks minutes. does that took place in cape town last week? now there would have been no decision. that's what they've been taken, because the ministers can only take the commendation to

the summit and of cause one would expect that there would be into action even between the summit, between the precedents. but as far as this decision for switch the saw me to a 2nd country, we are not to way off. but also i can also share with you that they haven't even been speculations that we picked up, that it might even be switch to another side that come through with our neighbors. but to have the meanest, as i say you, the position still remains as far as i've definitely guys concerned this time it would be held in john has but to show that had been agreed on that. also, as it was talked about, that that legislation might be implemented and said that, forget the south african law above ad thoughts of the instructional criminal court

as well. so that would be interesting to on the run vacations for south africa in that regard. and again, the question of the, the, the, the, the how is it framed? it? has the tenant been announced the minister of foreign affairs? the candidate defined the minister of international relations has already instituted a mccann is a web i, there would be diplomatic immunity, full or part to use individuals and organizations that will be attending v blake summit. now again, remember, this is again, part of the framework of the i c c itself the and so, so the guy is not doing and it's being unknown. so i would of the

framework of the icpc and it is that engagement the laptop part. but so don't think i've talked about that we, we engage with the pod to use and really engage with the process. is we really upsetting to the process is sure within the framework of the, of the i. c. c. perhaps related to the present sort of around the post that has said south africa would be quote, at not drawn into a contest between global powers. could you perhaps expand on, on which international forces are trying to perhaps pressure your country into, into confrontation? why would that be? look at 5, the would confrontation, we are not that way. so without food gulf in the country that is pushing us to a confrontation, confrontation for what the goodness on the bible. so it sounds like the question of

south africa's non aligned position on the conflict that these existing. now that i started kind of reasons. they started conflicts long before this conflict start to do you think the into account that the non aligned position of so i'll see that emanates from the time when. so i'll think i became a member of the number line wilson. right. if you would remembered it during the conflict between the west and the then if yeah. so the guy has always taken a non aligned position. and it's, it's a continuation of the position of south africa. and by the way, south africa's foreign policy is and cut on non alignment. that's especially where the military conflicts all over the world. there has been no time

with so i'll say that has taken sides in a new conflict. just expanding on that recently various on the list of express, the opinion that south africa is neutrality with regard to the cleaning, conflicts has been compromised by perhaps strengthening of ties between moscow in south africa. some argue that a, that a situation could scared away foreign investors just looking at some of the figures here south africa, could lose $30000000000.00 some of us to, for the export revenue. how does your confuse control taping compromise aside? so does it guys consents out of because non aligned position? i do not see how we can be compromise because the relationship between some of the cost and any other country in the world has always been. so it's not something new. and we have had trade the relations we reported in

the world and at no smith, no stage. have we ever compromise the position of our trade with any ad the country? now the other point about this trade is a tool we drove by. it's very nature, it's not like here we talking about those enough funding that so definitely guys getting know it is trade to any country that invest in south africa. it is a by luck to that issue because between that country and so the author and so has played been going on between south africa and any other country in the world. so our trade, we've actually had that we have developing. i should not hear the as far as i'm concerned is split and he has really

the reason i bring it up is because issues came to a head earlier this year with accusations that washington washington led dot so dot for god supplied russia with weapons. your country denied it, led to perhaps a little bit of a string between praetorian washington. is that still the case or how this up situation of old look? again, number one, as you would know, the president has instituted. and you commission to investigate the allegations and that's south africa supplied to it. last year. the president then instituted a commission led to by your entire judge to investigate the matter and send the de merits. that when may you deal with this up to nation. so until the report is presented to the past and then i think that what it should wait for the outcome

of that investigation by the past. but by the commission that has been set up by the precedent by the authorities. as we've seen just to change that topic a little bit here, we've seen a number of countries step off to offer at peace resolution initiatives in the last number of months to the ukranian conflict. and now it's quite an exciting time because african nations have come together on are being said have for, can lead at, for their proposal, which will be brought in the next couple of weeks next week. maybe as well. what's your thoughts and not because the other piece proposals have either been rejected out of hand by one side or the other. what come so it's not for kept bringing to this that perhaps others haven't. okay, look for 1st and foremost, let me make you to point to that,

to the authentic up piece initiative for the diplomatic resolution of the conflict. it's different in the sense that we have seen for the 1st time a group of nations. 6. no, i've tried it, it's 7 now. ok, 7, all 3 can states have come together to id they a pot in attempt to resolve the conflict? that's number one. number 2, as my president was saying, the other day, the division of the 7 lead does not come in with any propose that we are not come in. we offer the guy's not coming with any of the road map africa as my pass it then who's the spokes president of the group

as a teacher related in the past 2 days that we are coming. as of pretty got to listen . we went to understand what type of issues that led to this conflict, you know, so they, i know propose us as for as far as i'm concerned. but let's start with i can we start friday to hear save that to the meeting is actually going to take place in saint petersburg. oh, the 1st part of the meeting is going to take place on the 16th in keels with president zelinski in a week's time. uh huh, yes, it's actually to be specific on the 16th. yeah. and then on the 17th, the delegation then of the 7 herds of state, we've been meeting with president putting me those are the.
