spends insides between i saw on the conditions where you know they, they're right, increasing roll olympics in the global trade, global politics. so offer got coming up with that initiative and them being independent, all of the different things. one is a slap in the face of the usa europe. that's why you're seeing that, the professional, the of, of the whole process and the people that the frustrating go process don't want this conflict in, by doing africa once in multiple out each and every country in the world has been operated shots do decide to uh, with the with the us and this small beat or, you know, we saw when uh roughly, i mean, uh, uh for an a 1000 units. does it get a little excited to, to, oh, started in africa this um, the he, i lived in south africa. we saw the, i have all the, uh, 6 the printers or us. it basically says that a union i'm, if i chief was also ins. i'm. yeah, uh, just last week of a check. uh uh you know,

for the most of the meetings that was also ins. i'm down and the i'm in those country is close to the main entry protocol, shaw, so as, as i'm to just fight it being neutral in, in this conflict. these are receiving huge, huge brace from the west to, you know, to tools to set. it's not active. i, you know, i, goodness, the i, science i'm is i'm getting being in it's got into comic, you know, as tuition instruction. well, we're trying to get his thoughts. what did we have when did chinese did i put something on the web solution and i think funded able to, to finish up. but of course the, you know, because i'm in a government official as i've made it very clear to the present. i've made it great . yeah, that's a good. it means neutral and is i'm the is 4 piece. and that's why i visited gun president is part of this delegation on the south african president made the trip to russia without his security detail. the team was off stranded on

a plane in poland after warsaw. at 1st, we wouldn't allow it to we and then hungry, later close at the air space to the flight, forcing it to return to south africa. around 100 people, including journalists, had been held in poland for 3 days. there were claimed some south african officials with diplomatic passports were stripped, short searched by police, leading to accusations of racism. i've had a president remo 1st a security force. ok. so those that remain on board the plane did so voluntarily, as it was only preventing people from leaving the aircraft. if they were carrying weapons, the incident followed the african delegations visit to key as during which you crania and officials falsely claim that moscow had targeted the capital with missiles and drones, with the western media court. to echo those claims. but the south african presidential spokesperson said he never heard or saw as st. dismissing it as misinformation. i didn't see any explosion or had an

explosion. that's what do we say? no, we arrived in the morning session today. yes. we went to put you and in the time we arrived and the time we went to put you, in fact, we did not witness any exclusion. we did not have to ask and look. sorry. no, we didn't hear it. but did you go to bump schultz or today? no, no, no, i didn't go to the present. it was taken to the university exam yet. but now how this, okay, again, believes that the whole situation was set up to discredit the african peas initiative of this call. think today is much more about the also the information aside trying to, you know, paint russia a bodily on fund to the international community when the african lead does, for example, i lived in the you can in there was some missing information that i show was uh,

you know, showing uh, key of our really does where they are and we saw that the, you know, uh from the kitchen. uh, you know, members of, so i think i mentioned that they never had any bombings and shadings. and that, uh, the most fear in cuba was very peaceful and people having a nice time. so i think this is one way of trying to one discredits the whole african piece initiative. and also a one way of trying to port on the phone. because from of these benefiting of the interest you create and doesn't involve it's on voice. you know, you can uh tons of what i can start to do. so this point i did attend this off weekend president clinton, then for a long story you'll put in what to do on the what the doors don't accept the deal on the because uh, you know, your credit is not unfortunately independent at the moment. for those of us that's on the front of the config from, you know, for manual perspective we,

i've said and respected, but uh, you know, uh as an as give like position if you was going to refuse this deal and that is what to do. and so that you print and people that, that bang, you can people, you know, i'm going to pull money off whatever. i don't think that we've been of money to repay uh for the items that are getting that munitions. so i think a for the lead from soft because this to is, i'm get this 3. i've not forgot history, but you cannot be used to fight other people's was you need to put your, your, your interest, you know, the 1st, where people's interest, 5th, the 26th annual st. petersburg, international economic forum wrapped up in russia's northern capital, this saturday, throughout the week or 2 has been providing extensive coverage of russia's biggest economic event of the

over for day. so for him, while i'm coming around, $17000.00 gas for $130.00 nations leading economists, businesses, politicians, bankers, and scientists from asia, africa, and latin america were among those in attendance. around $900.00 agreements were signed at the event. or she's, you know, neil was there in our studio at the heart of the forum. he talked to a malia in use leader who explain the importance for the african consummate of cooperation with russia. to the boy who connects below these groceries. the country that has no colonial posts connected with africa. this is important. manual process partners consider it and all of us to partner. therefore, i think that working with president booting is an important option for african countries. molly, up to decades of cooperation with other countries. so no realization of the signs agreements. let's consider that the military aspect of russia is a historical park. now, the republic of molly in the middle to receive that corporation cut strengthens

since the change of resuming by my cold. however, during the decade till the french military presence of molly, there was no realisation they expect us result was not the chief bye to some of the things that the entire african continents should follow. the example of molly, i can say this vol show is a country you can trust. it is very important to work with the russian federation in the future. we'll continue our recap of the 26 st. petersburg international economic for him. throughout the day he run hard to discussing key economic issues facing russia, emerging markets in the world of the ferry carrying a 120 passengers, and crew has caught fire. well, i see in the philippines, video shows black smoke billowing from the deck and the fire raging at the back of the boat. according to our officials,

a coast guard vessel has been dispatched in an attempt to rescue those on board and put off the fire. there's no information yet on any victims. the very has been selling between 2 provinces in the central philippines when the police broke out, the, the secretary of state and to a blanket has touched down invasion for talks aimed at cooling. the increasingly heated tensions between the 2 countries is the highest level visit by us officials since 2018, but it comes as washington's brother in arms. the u remains toward which we're in treating beijing like a training partner at once or the systemic rival the us for trays it as are to contributor regional mars and has more. a delegation of top level chinese political and business figures a set to visit germany and france in the coming week at the invitation of german chancellor, all off schultz and of the french government. but it remains to be seen precisely

which european face billing counter, the one that needs china for trade or the other one that's bad, most in beijing to score brownie points with uncle sam as washington pressure is its allies to quote the risk from china. it sounds like you're a positive relationship with its biggest trading partner, confused with the kind of toxic drama typically found in a french film. just a few days before the chinese delegations arrival in germany, berlin outlined its 1st ever national security strategy. a promise that schultz made back in 2021 and cited china as a major threat. for some reason, shots figure that right now would be a good time to roll out some insults for as distinguished invited guests, even though we could have done it months ago or even after they've left. china is drawing in various ways to remote the existing rules based international order is a certain originally dominant position with ever more vigor,

acting time and again counter to our interest and values. meanwhile, last thursday, the european commission encourage member states to restrict or exclude the equipment of chinese telecom joints while way, n z e from national 5 g networks and announced it would be blocking them as suppliers to the commission. 24 of the use 27 member countries are already working on blocking the chinese companies. but that's apparently not good enough or fast enough for the you just to screw, to dispose is major security risk and expose us. so union, i'm going to give you the security. we cannot afford to maintain the critical dependencies. so that's good become a weapon against our interest. so it would be to predict over no ability and to show use or risk to i'll come and secure it all the noise about national

security. certain ways serves to obscure the panic that the us simply can't compete with while waste technology at a time when the entire world is on the verge of upgrading to 5 g networks. when it comes to this technology, the us has no goalie and no players on the ice leaving china free to score into an empty net over and over again all over the world. former us attorney general bill bar once suggested during the trump administration, that the us by controlling shares in wall ways only to 5 g competitors, finland's nokia and sweden's eric's and saying that quote, putting our large market and financial muscle behind one or both of these firms would make it a more formidable competitor and eliminate concerns over it, staying power, and that quote, we and our closest allies certainly need to be actively considering this approach. now national security threats blown out of proportion have become

a tool for frustrated hustlers looking to sabotage deals, but just happen to exclude them. while way is the latest example, but we've seen that before. americans, nato ally, turkey purchased the russian, made us 400 air defense system, widely regarded as the best it's class. as a result of russia's prioritizing, the development of electronic warfare in the wake of the cold war. washington responded by threatening turkey with sanctions over what washington is described as a security vulnerability for nato. and for the lockheed martin f. 35 fighter jets so much whining and complaining how about just building a better jet without any vulnerabilities. but instead of seeing this for what it is, i'm pushing back against washington's economic colonize ation of europe. b. u is content with just repeating the same, talking points, and doing what it's told, stable and constructive relations with china. is it no mutual interest given its

role in the international community and the size of its economy? china has a special responsibility in the world, and it has to play by international rules. europe seems to figure that it can keep safely struggling the center line. simultaneously courting and bad mouthing beijing . time will tell whether it will ultimately have to pick a lane and then doing so, whether it will end up prioritizing its own interest over those of washington. donald trump has pleaded not guilty to $37.00 charges over his elijah is handling of classified documents. after returning from court in miami, the former president appeared before his supporters, claiming the case against him was fabricated to block has run for the white house. with this the most evil and hey, this abuse of bell or the history of our country. very sad thing to watch corrupt. sitting president, had his top political opponent,

arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty after appearing in federal court here in miami and entering a plead of not guilty. donald trump flew back to new jersey to give a rousing speech to his supporters and make clear in his view. this was all just a politicized fremont. paul showed a lot of americans agree with him. many republicans spoke up saying that this is a politically motivated prosecution. here's what tucker carlson had to say. 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 don't mind is doing with no president has ever dared to do. he's using law enforcement to lock up his chief arrival that's happening right now. many look at these charges against donald trump, the 37 counts of mishandled and classified government documents and see them as a big distraction from the much more serious information surface thing about hunter,

by the son of us present by d and his nefarious activities and ukraine. which could amount to bribery republicans in congress have revealed that there are different audio recordings of 100 buying, meeting with officials tied to be original holdings various. my holdings is the natural gas company that hired vice president. then joe biden. son, despite his lack of experience or knowledge of natural gas, 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. busy incomplete picture with respect to what that document really says. that's why it's important is that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the american people to see what's happening to donald trump is on president. and he's a major candidate for president and the upcoming election. he's

a former president himself, and now he's being dragged into federal court, charged with allegedly miss handling some documents. now the country is asking itself, why is joe biden not facing charges? why is mike pence not facing charges? and at this point, we could be seeing the opening of pandora's box. american politics could pretty soon be getting a lot nasty or caleb bobbins, artsy, miami, south africa shouldn't be punished for its connections with russia, at least according to a group of us legislators to written a joint letter to the us secretary of state. the congressmen are calling for the country to be stripped. the right to host. did you westwood african growth? an opportunity asked summit later this year. we are seriously concerned hosting get 2020 free african growth an opportunity ask for them in south africa would serve as an implicit endorsement of south africa's damage and support for russia's invasion

of ukraine and possible violation of us sanction law. this act dirty free access to 25 percent of south african exports to the u. s. is 2nd largest trading partner after china. washington, recently i q, south africa of allowing a sanction russian cargo shipped to dock before supplying it was ours. are claimed for tory has firmly rejected. we spoke to south africa, nationals on the streets, who believe their country can decipher itself suitable to relations with. i was, i'll definitely go, we can be, can see that the ocean until the difference between the and i. c. a n u. s. if i have a relationship with that, i see. yeah that's, i'll definitely go. so i don't see any need for us to bill because of you as a sort of like i said solving mission the solving mission. and they have rights to choose what they want to do redone mission to protect themselves, to make their own policy for the west to do, i mean, or

a pause function on them is i believe, i think it just continues to show that america's ability, especially like when it comes to use more than nations, i believe that's the size of the sites that have impose on. so the country are physically detrimental to the economy. but most of which is it gives a very bad perception of the country as a on the international stage. in recent years, south africa's ties with russia have been strengthening, earlier this year for toria, held joint naval exercises with russia and china office shores. also this year, south africa is the chair of the burke's group and will host the annual summit. the president of the countries general industries, workers union believes that washington actions amount to fully, i call the the cookie you know,

so i see, you know, ju, just most part of the saudi arabia and other arab nations place a high priority on independence and sovereignty. when it comes to geo political

relations, that's the opinion of abraham hardship. from the university of hong kong, seizure global institute. he's been sharing his views and the new episode of going underground. you can watch it tomorrow here on our t. well, what's the significance of a m b s meeting with the blinking, blinking go straight there. um to uh, saudi arabia and then cause boots in immediately afterwards. is this a more proof that the 0 sum game is over? but because of these trade dies, if it ever became a 0 sum game, the global south, the built in road initiative, the rejuvenation of the as you said, the millennial old relationship is, is the 1st choice. we are not really taking size and we don't have to take sides. um and we are really uh, interested, determined to maintain the security strategic autonomy and we have every right to maintain that autonomy. and i think at this point in time, nobody in the world,

nothing in the world can actually a stop us from being a strategically autonomy. so in other words, the, there are people in the west and the united states, or we are who have demonic convictions. they want to really come and dominate the region. well, if you asked me over the last 20 years success be around for this is what's been happening here. we have been trying to really dominate the region. we have been trying to really hi jacked the sovereignty of the region and they failed and they failed to, you know, measurable in the that's all for now. be sure to check out our t. com for all the latest breaking news and updates was the right back here at the top of the hour. the

. it's crazy this thing that in some parts of the world, obesity is becoming that. but demick on other parts of the world, there's not no food that children are malnourished or dying from starvation. i'm christy. i and you're watching the cost of everything. where today we're going to be looking at the costs of food waste. how much perfectly good food is trash and disposed of global in every year, anywhere between 30 to 40 percent of all food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted. some of that waste comes from a spoiler strain, transport, and other times it's from not being sold at the supermarket or be forgotten at the back of a person's refrigerator. while there's food loss and nearly every stage of food

production and distribution, it is shocking how much perfectly good food is simply wasted. the food loss index estimates on globally around 14 percent of all food produced as last from post harvested up to but excluding the retail stage. meanwhile, 17 percent of global food production is wasted at the household retail and food service level. meanwhile, millions of people are suffering from food and security every day. so while the world weighs about $1400000000.00 tons of food every year, the us is the biggest corporate. the us, this car is more food than any other country in the world. nearly $40000000.00 tons every year. that equates to about $219.00 pounds of waste per person. now in the us, 37 percent of food ways happens at the household level, which means that american consumers are over buying food. spoilage is a real issue and one of the biggest reasons why people throw out food more than 80

percent of americans discard perfectly good consumable food. because they misunderstand expiration labels to compare to the rest of the world. the us is less costly and plentiful, making impulsive food purchases. america also has a take out culture where it doesn't used food in its entirety. and composting isn't a natural part of our food prep routine. if people started buying, handling, consuming and budgeting for meals differently, it could make a big difference. food waste also contributes to waste and water and energy. it took to produce and generating greenhouse gases like methane and c, o. 2 and chloral flora carbons from agriculture. and if not consumed food waste and trickles down stream to become the largest category of material placed in municipal landfills. these rotten vegetables or expired food also released nothing and

nitrogen, which are problem medic, greenhouse gases. while a very small portion of this food waste is donated or recycled, the majority goes straight to the landfills where it's incinerated and flows down the drain or left to rot. so has food ways become a global economic issue? or is it a social problem to explain more well bringing neural goldstein, editor and publisher of bio cycle so nor out what our country is doing with all of this food waste. can they be redistributed or up cycled or does it all just go to spoilage in different countries have had different opportunities and it's also somewhat cultural. we find that in, in many cities, people go to the market or stop by the, you know, just the neighborhood shop every day on their way home to get what they need for the meals. so there's, there's not a lot of excess versus people that will go to the store and shop for

a week and buy a bunch of stuff and they end up eating out 3 or 4 of those nights a week. so i think culturally that, that goes, that's a factor in it. the other thing that we're seeing is food that is produced, but maybe not sold in time. there is a growing support for food for donating that food and a network for making sure the food especially perishable food stays safe and you know, so that i'd say to me and then uh, for example, they'll get funding for refrigerated trucks or refrigerators, in places to to keep it edible sourcing, that they have a certain amount of upside clean, you know, taking, taking food and in making it and using it as a rod greeting for something else. and then traditionally,

and this has gone on for, for many, many, many years, is a recycling food that is no longer eligible for animal feed. so it still says, staying within the food system. all that says we still throw away a lot of food that should have been eaten or could have to be why is so little food recycled or up cycled? does it cost more to recycle then just to toss it in many places. the answer sadly is yes it's, it's even starting at the farm where there's crafts that, you know, they pick the, the highest quality that they'll get the most money for. and then the 2nd grade. yeah, the lower grade produce ends up staying, you know, in the field because they can't, they're not going to get enough money for it to harvest it. so there's waste right at the farm level. and then as you know,

see when they, when it comes to figuring out what to do with food that needs to be thrown away. it's, it's really crazy for all the infrastructure that's been created for donation. it's still a very small percentage of food that's available, gets donated, and then you basically end up with, well, you know what, just thrown away. it's easier in many developed countries. that's our culture. we've been very much just toss it away. it has no value. and so when folks like myself, we're in the field of organic se recycling and food waste recycling. it does at least have a better n use if it goes to composting to make sort of amendment to the old healthy soil's or to be what we call in aerobically digested to produce a bio gas that can be used to produce electricity or, or fuels. uh so there's, it's, and then yes, in many places it is

a what cheaper just to throw it away then to go through the process of product collecting and processing it. how can countries reduce food waste and what countries have been the most successful at that? it's interesting, i was thinking about this question and i would say that pop, the biggest challenge to getting as a country to reduce food waste is starts with education and really realizing how much food is being thrown away. and then developing strategies to and programs to both reduce the amount of, of food that's wasted, introduce smart or buying habits and cooking habits and, and then also to re purposing, you know, in other words, let's just say what we see in the catering business. the food service is not

putting out all the food you've made, but keeping some of it back because if it's not, sir, then it has to be that it can be donated even if it's prepared. so it's really in kitchen practices at food service businesses to reduce and, but really at the end of the day, it's just building that awareness and somehow putting in price, you know, making the cost of throwing it away higher, you know, or the penalties for throwing you know that, you know, it encourages you because what we've seen is one stores where the city, your state passes a mandate, you have to separate your food ways for grocery stores. and they'll offer a, a lower price. they realize when they start separating it, how much edible food they're throwing away. so sometimes when you either.
