of the the the r c examines are, russian forces are repelling the premium expensive on the front line moved on to the public. the us wanted to paralyze us with sanctions and threats with our nation was and paralyzed have turned the threats and sanctions into opportunities. the wes tries to suppress or wrong was sanctioned by has failed. that's the statement firewall as president, as he continued his tour of latin american countries, stopping in nicaragua or building bridges and gaining cloud across the globe.

and the 26th annual st. petersburg international economic forum kicks off in russia's northern capital as over $17000.00 participants for $130.00 countries attending the major economic event. we bring new special coverage right here on our team the coming to you live in the russian capital. this is our t international. i'm rachel beloved here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. and we begin with the latest rather complex in ukraine, as russian forces advanced in various strategic directions, according to russia's ministry of defense, they said that over 7000 ukrainian soldiers had been killed or wounded in battle since june. 4th, russia's defense ministry added that moscow as targeting sites that hold key as

reserved forces for and mercenary camps and weapons and equipment depos are teasing or is it on off, examines our russian forces, are holding the line in all across the front line. ukraine's troops robust the counter offensive has commenced and rush i sped as no effort to nip that in the bud. these guns the refutation of a sniper rifle, and know a 152 millimeter caliber packs, a might see punch. the lies on the southern front chief has so far, pendants hopes on brushing, rushes defensive lines there, but to no avail. he outside the town of lucy, chance ukraine is pushing relentlessly to. but all, to

a similar result. the big guns of the backbone of cubes, offensive. so counter battery fire is vital for russia of the muscle cells. now let's, our group is coal sniper is because we were very accurate to shooting hating and destroying and, and be targets. we even received the challenge for the ukrainians for know to redo roll, but we didn't accept it because they were very cunning. so the key to success is to work as fast as possible to work in a cohesive team score. everyone must perform that you just quickly and not to interfere with the others. one suffered in the don't pass artillery fire accounts

for an overwhelming majority. it tends trenches into school, which stuff gets melts. my incentive rate's everything in its path here. artillery has proven once again that it is indeed the god of war i make is done over the closing from the don't bass ok. see the cuban prime minister manual cruise has met with 5 mere putting in moscow. i had a visiting the international economic form in saint petersburg. besides discuss mutual cooperation between moscow and havana, as well as the unilateral western sanctions with charlotte, both countries. a new start. what is the might, is this by lateral cooperation, should develop in all the areas on which we have agreed. and i am sure that this will happen. they include energy,

tourism and some other priority areas. we know that the legal sanctions that cuba has been living under has been going on for decades, and yet the cuban people are coping with it. for our part, we will do everything so that our economic cooperation helps to overcome these outward difficulties of freedom. able to show them the cool i want to assure keep us from stones, you know, position to unilateral western sanctions against russia. i also want to assure you that we are against the attempt to the west to isolate most of them. international organization is that a lot of the same time as a whole and promoting the rest of phobia as if everything that comes from russian. his body is i must add that the west has failed to break russia, and we see it as a real mockery of striking just when i went there. but it's the around in president abraham raising is also expanding ties with latin american countries as he has stopped off in nicaragua, as part of the 2nd look of his latin american tour. the rally as the nation's capital raises the stress of utility of american sanctions. and highlighted the

shared values of iranian and that as well. and people or somebody call me cause what the us wanted to paralyze us with. sanction some threats with our nation was in paralyze. what time do you have during the threats and sanctions into opportunities and have made great progress? peace, people should know that the new global order will favor those who resist western germany to the pursuit of independence, freedom and justice. and that is what really unites ball the uranium and venezuelan revolutions arrived in the correct nation. what makes it is a significant economic sanctions, by the way, is that issue reset the approach to standardize and the driver president for his bar

double standards when he comes to the pressure of his guns, we under the pretext of human rights and democracy. this is very much life its own and the rhetoric maintains towards the assignment again is actually one day and then we'll cross the sun. well, you, with the west, which doubts its democratic values, should respect the silver in will of other people's own who vote in their government. but unfortunately, western nations do the opposite. they live out of democracy and human rights and who have seen many times how the west tramples human rights all across the globe. the on monday beginning with some of the 2 sides and we

$1000000000.00. this is defiance of the why the sanctions. so this is the virgin multiple or what do you see there? so we see the original country even situated in the western hemisphere, east where the drawer is no vision or the place for us here, a trip has rejoined the east african block. the injured governmental authority on development, as it seeks to rebuild ties with its neighbors area, left the block back in 2007 and protest over

a string of disagreements including the decision neighboring. if you be up to deployed troops in somalia to fight the militant group officer bob eritrea broke away from ethiopia in 1993 and brought a 2 year border war with relations between the 2 nations remaining fragile until the 2018 piece agreement. the country has been subjected to us and he was sanctions over alleged human rights abuses. now with the countries return to the fold, the east african block will consist of 8 member states to go further in depth on this. let's cross live now 2 yards a week, a political economist joining us from audio above. ok, thank you so much for taking the time to join us on the show today. now what do you make of your tears return to the east african blog? would you say that this is a good decision for both parties? i think so. it's a separate decision right here as well as the origin. i know previously

a chair policy had to be like, uh, you know, avoiding all, you know, contacts and everything. you know, like sort of working with the neighboring countries. but now the into that, but he seems to be changing the reason probably to avoid the get it was due to establishing 996 in the private or the say, that's the bridge 5, the previous 5. as you know, we. so the most information was the quote and 997 bit with this corner and consummate it to you. so probably the, you know, at the time that it was probably, you know, consider to be certain religious tradition. that's why he got but now it to yeah, obviously it seems to be changing from the resolution. the situation was the chip. yeah. that would be our image and the president says, support. yeah. been in russia in china, and then they, you know, now joining us now in the goods. so it just seems to be more prior to that

development and been tonight in that community to drive that, that, that'd be, and i, so you know, it is kind of proceed to country into words. right. and then it can be all right. and when it comes to the timing of this, i mean, is it those changes in the growing multi polar world that have led to this move? i mean, we're talking about 16 years after the countries less the organization. what do you make of the timing here? as well that the timing is i think this is like uh, super savings uh the program with the 2 bedroom. but the reason being that the, the gods because the 2 bath seems to be have that strong. you don't need supplies in due time of payments that are on the good. so that's why i think that i also went to her before he got to be honest issues because it was established in 1996. so it just one year olds, you know, because of quite sure that you know,

organization at the time. that's now it says with 72nd edition. so as well, but i think of that it's less and clouds in the region certainly might help 5 thoughts. this is a time to get back and then, you know, maybe you take the box and then it tries the vision as well. and the decision making. so it's a time to use. uh, you know, relationship with the chair about the buyers. and then uh, you know, get you guys extremely talk to him, the information that i told you not visiting china and most course lets me do any good. and then also i think the african union that addendum left, but they were very passive and that and there are other options. so now they become even more assertive in the region. that's what mc, sorry, it's very part of that. yeah. now when it comes to the changes that we're seeing really worldwide, i mean if we look over at the middle east,

a number of former photos are restoring diplomatic relations. so do you think that we're seeing something similar in east africa and why do you think that it as well, i do not think now as to the damage i was hoping to do or you can there is a beautiful facility on orthodontist, you know, try it twice on it, but it yeah. you know, i mean i'm just sort of the government does it. i we do it all the work to isolate it, to the community by switching it. we said i should buy that then the question. so mine yeah, that's uh, making views towards the based on size of from can help to yeah. doesn't seems to be changing. so it seems like i'm looking for, you know, an alas and you are nice and you know, deep the bicycle is to make more friends that's. that's how i see. it's because it's, yeah, so somebody should didn't have any depth. and in the last that, you know, 16 years you can say so that they be coming. yeah. you know,

they want to take a more properties, actions in the, in the sufferings. so that's, that's what's, i mean, the federal step making policy. what is it to the last now these yeah, the price will be a strong best for you. good. and then they can have a say significant say the get to fish. that's what i'm thinking. yeah, certainly a lot of moving parts here and we appreciate you joining us to break it all down. you are as a week, a political economist joining us from ollie's above us. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. well, more us president donald trump has pleaded not guilty to $37.00 charges over alleged miss handling of classified documents. he says the case was fabricated against him to sabotage the upcoming election, which is the most evil and hey, this abuse or bell or the history of our country. very sad thing to watch. it

corrupt. sitting president, had his top political opponent, arrested on fake and fabricated charges, of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty. right in the middle of a presidential election. this is called election interference and yet another attempt to rig and steal a presidential election. more importantly, it's a political persecution, joe biden will forever be remembered as not only the most corrupt president of the history of our country, but perhaps even more importantly, the president are together with a band of as close as thugs, misfits and marks is tried to destroy american democracy, i'm here out in front of the court house, where in the last few hours we had donald trump pleading not guilty to 37 different counts of miss handling classified government documents. and at this point, uh,

we have now heard from donald trump and many of his supporters and many republicans in congress who see this is simply an effort to meddle in the upcoming 2024 elections. donald trump made his court appearance. there were thousands of donald trump supporters outside the court house. and then donald trump returned to new jersey where he gave a message on the indictment to his supporters. they want to distract from the real espionage and the real crime. so let's use president trump to do so. let's go out and let's indict president trump so they don't talk about the $5000000.00 bribes. remember, they impeached me for asking the simple question about vitamins grew up dealings in ukraine and now they see that once again i was right. i was right, i was totally right. joe biden. and the radical left can take foreign bribes and be totally protected. republicans, all, you must finally get tough, you've got to get tough. you got to get tough and you gotta show when you arrest

your leading political opponent, we no longer have a democracy. you have a nation that as we are, is in serious, serious decline of a nation in serious that lie. now in his message, donald trump said they want to take away his freedom. he said they want to take away my freedom because that day i won't take away yours. uh, that was one of the memorable quotes from his message to supporters. and many are linking the timing of this indictment with the new revelation about the biden's family and their alleged corrupt dealings in ukraine. and the revelation that the f b, i seems you of covered up and protected that investigation from being made public. and there's a lot being res, now, by republicans in congress about dividing family and their dealings and connections in ukraine. so many are wondering if this is not only and a half or 2 metal and prevent donald trump from being successful in the 2024

election. which fold indicate he would win if it were held today. but on top of that, many are looking at this and asking the question as to whether or not this is done to distract from the revelations that are now surfacing about dividing family and their connections and the efforts to pc all those things. so at this point, there's a lot of cynicism. there were many of donald trump supporters out in front of the court house to day protesting donald trump was greeted by many of his supporters in new jersey at a rally where he just gave that rousing message. there are many people to look on this as a dark day for american democracy where it appears the department of justice is being weaponized against one candidate in order to secure the re election of another. no one with trumps views is allowed to have power in this country. that's the message that washington is sending according to journalist tucker cross that he believes. so the prosecution of the former president is not just political,

but also ideological. that of the politics doesn't mean much to permanent washington. what matters then and now is foreign policy. the invasions and occupations and proxy wars. the prosecution of donald trump is transparently political. he's literally jo biden's, main political opponent. he's pulling over 60 percent among republican voters right now. so to mind is doing with no president has ever dared to do. he's using law enforcement to lock up his chief rival that's happening right now. anyone who denies it's happening is lying to you. but actually it's worse than that. trust prosecution isn't just a political. it's ideological. nobody with trumps of views is allowed to have power in this country. criticize or wars and you're disqualified. if you keep it up, we'll send you to prison. that's the message washington this sunday. as the case against trump is underway, or republican senator has accused washington of double standards by ignoring

accusations because president joe biden demanded that a series of incriminating audiotapes be made public before national possesses 15 audio recordings or phone calls between m and a 100. by, according to the 1023, the 4 national possessors to audio recordings of phone calls between him and then vice president joe, by these recordings were allegedly cap as a sort of insurance policy for the, for national in case that he got into a tight spot congress still lacks a full, incomplete picture with respect to what that document really says. that's why it's important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the american people to see a joe violet has been accused of accepting

a $5000000.00 bright from the cranium, oil company breeze, man, or his son hunter, by that was on the board of directors, the alleged incident took place when biden was vice president. however, when asked by a new york post correspondent about a ledge tapes of him getting bribed zero's president and just grinned and chuckled toward their tapes that you accepted bribes. president biden. is that true? would you comment on the rest of the for president of the i director christopher wright is also under the spotlight as he has been accused of heavily spencer in the unclassified by the incriminating tapes. meanwhile, the bureaus deputy director has already admitted that the f b. i intentionally had 17 audio recordings of joe and 100 biden. to cover up the biting varies my bribery scandal. sort of chatted. mr. redact, the the fact that they are 17 voice recordings. 2 of

those with the noun president, you chose to redirect that and not to give that to house oversight. is that i do have their voice recordings or not. what i will tell you with respect to the know the document was redacted to protect the source, as everyone knows well, then there's a lot of question of life. my time essentially wired. earlier we spoke to talk to host steve walberg, who believes that trump's indictment is in the limelight in order to cover up new allegations and the joe biden, corruption scandal. a good timing of the announcement of the indictment was about covering up the news that broke on the same day that you know, there were documents that existed in and phone records that existed phone calls that electrically have joe biden. and his son hunter talking to arisen officials about getting the prosecutor in the ukraine at the time. fired. and allegedly they

got paid $5000000.00 a piece for doing that. so that would that think the timing was designed to get that out of the way and make sure that that by the story wasn't covered at all. but i think ultimately this indictment was gonna happen. they've been working on it for a long time. if there is in fact, bribery that took place, i think it puts a whole different uh, take on, on the uh, our support for ukraine. it calls a lot into question. and not the least of which is uh, is joe biden's uh, of survival in the presidency you as far as now you're being impeached and, and removed from office possibly. so i think we have to keep an eye on that. the, the 26 annual st. petersburg, the international economic for up has kicked off and russia's northern capital right here on r. c will renew special coverage throughout the week. the

key theme of this year's st. petersburg economic forum is sovereignty. that includes tech culture and national traditions, which are all presented at the various bands. they're now around. $17000.00 people are attending russia's biggest economic event, including leaving economists. companies has of space ministers, finance, years and scientist earlier artes union o'neill outlined the key aims of this year's forum. a very warm welcome to space at 2023 and this and petersburg, international economic for them. people have been streaming in all morning for day one of the influential event. now, why they're coming here at people for more than a 100 countries, delegates from those countries as well as you've got thousands of participants here talking about the big global issues affecting the world. and of course,

at russia. now the focus this here is on, at the emerging world, the global side is a big issue, of course, in terms of at feeding the world in terms of, of getting those renew ties between russia and that area as well. just to give you a sense, there is a move away from, from e u countries from nate. so towards the middle east, of course, i mentioned the global south africa asia. so it's on central america as well. big number of guests coming at for that. the sectors here that's being spoken about, you're talking about the i t at tourism financial of course a lot of funds around here at talking about how they can develop with the rest of the world as well. and i agree business pharmaceutical industry. so you can imagine for the next 4 days until saturday, there is a lot to discuss and we're going to keep the discussion team going figures. joining

me is the host of ortiz world. a part are to correspond that sound that boy you sent it a lot going on today. business is the theme, but the overriding at issue pace solve, run the development for the for him. can you maybe break stuff done while i thought is the, the big feet? because i think around the world, there is a sense of exhaust trends from the way things have been going up until recently. this uni polar western dominate. it is modelled that cruise privileges benefits primarily to itself. and we see these big development then it's also only about this here, but i mean, i think we've seen it for the last day care so that many countries want to develop on their own terms. and they want to that own piece of the international pie. and they want to see the world not as a sort of melting cold, melted to american, the west and specifications, but rather as a mistake, where each society, each country kennels for their own solutions develop according to its own,

to their own paces, or according to that own cultural specific ations, but the discussion wouldn't be not about what those pieces need to be, how they should look like whether they should be like the west or rather, you know how we can exist in a mutually beneficial in synergetic manner. and this form is still pretty much international because many parts of the world are represented who mentions latin america. you mentioned the africa asia has huge representations, russian regions, various russian regions are representative here. and there's going to be a lot of discussions, a lot of debates today, a lot of contacts made as well between and not just international countries, but particularly russian as well. so for those russian companies, it's perhaps a daunting step into perhaps the territories that they weren't sewell favorites, but that's becoming more and more the common themes. so that's going to be

something that's going to be of a foremost importance going forward. actually, they won. always has been about local development and about local businesses, small, medium size, big businesses. but this time around, russian businesses have no choice but the to develop and depend on themselves in order to move forward. as you know, russia is under very significant the, their west and sanctions, which for so many companies to come the watson connections. but they are looking for ways to develop here in the russia and also to establish new connections with the rest of the world with africa, with asia, with many other regions, but do it in a different way in a way that respects local populations and leaves and you know, benefits and the profits here, russian entrepreneurs, businesses have gone abroad of them. they, they've, they've gone into industries. they're not because of sanctions. perhaps it was

forced on that. i think it was plate. so was a necessity. is the mother of all invention, that money that knowledge is coming back. no interruption. what, what's the opportunities for the world's biggest country but something like that. i don't really know which, but also capital people uh, new ideas. uh, yeah, and it was a hard choice for many of the businesses and some of the businesses here have to choose whether they want to develop here domestically or whether they have to go abroad then the was made that choice very sharp. but a lot of companies that certainly most of the companies representative here and made a decision that, you know, russia still have lots of potential and it's not just some assets potential. i mean, this is a huge me reach of country not only in terms of minerals and you know, oral gas and metals, but also human potential and human capital. i mean, uh we, russia is leading in many technological areas. it's a country with very advanced public taking a logical services. you know,

it has lots of people who are working and trying to get a substitute, some of the products and services that we use to get from abroad in our developing them here. and uh, you know, developing them uh, with a potential of exporting them around the world. on the 1st day of the forum, several regions are presenting a variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, long wind gliders, audrey crafters, and even small helicopters at the sound of the some our region. attendees can even experience what it's like to pilot one and adding a little taste to the summit was the moscow government stand where you could catch an android serving up some delicious ice cream with a variety of flavors to choose from, such as mint chocolate chip and vanilla, the cherry on top is how it delivers it too and a manager subway car. but the bus is yet to come.
