the conditions we're, you know, they have right, increasing roll over breaks in the global trade, global politics so often coming up with that initiative and them being independent, all of the difficult 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 process and the people that are frustrating, don't process, don't want this conflict. and by doing africa once in multiple out each and every country in the world has been uh, pretty sides do decide to uh with the, with just in this uh small buick. uh, you know, we saw when uh, when i asked for the, uh, uh for the 1000 units. does it get a little excited to, to of southern africa this um, the he, i lived in south africa. we saw the i have all the, uh, 6 the printers are us. it basically says that a union i'm, if i chief was also in zambia. uh, just last week of a check. uh uh, you know,

for the municipal was also ins. i'm down and the i'm in those countries because i presume unclear protocol shot. so as, as i'm to just fight it being neutral in, in this conflict. these are receiving huge, huge praise uh, uh, from the west to, you know, to the tools to say 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 in on a switch and it says and well, we're trying to get his thoughts out. what did we have when did chinese did i put something on the web solution and i think funded able to uh to finish up. but of course the, you know, because i'm in a government official and so i've made it very clear to the present. i've made it great. yeah, that's a good. it means a neutral and is, i'm the is 4 piece. and that's why i didn't, i didn't get in prison is part of this delegation and breaking news just in from cosmic stock. we're an armed man has reportedly taking a number of people hostage and a back and the capital of us growing up and is threatening to kill all of them. the

area where the hosted situation is taking place has been filled off. reports claim that police are at the scene and the negotiations with them in are under way. social media reports claim the suspect is 30 years old and has taken 7 women and a security guard hostage. police have yet to comments, will stay across the story and bring you any updates as they become available. or the south african president made the trip to russia without his security detail. the team was left stranded on a plane in poland after war saw at 1st. we wouldn't allow it until we and then hungry later close to the air space to the flight. earlier today, the plane finally took off for more sauce, although it is now heading home around $100.00 people, including journalists, had been held in poland for 3 days. there were claims that some south african officials with diplomatic passports were strip, searched by police,

waiting to accusations of racism by the head of president round refers to the security or assault. 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 k. yeah. during what your crime in officials falsely claims that moscow had targeted the capital with missiles and drones, were the western media quit to echo those claims. but the south african presidential spokesperson said he never heard or saw a thing dismissing it as misinformation. i didn't see any explosion or hate an explosion. that's what we say. no, we have that in the morning. a decision today? yes, we went to put you in in the time we arrived and the time we went to put you, in fact, we did not witness any of those who did not the to and,

and the 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 of zan because they've been uh, have us. okay. again, believes that this whole situation was set up to this credit. the african piece initiative in this call think today is much more about the also the information aside trying to, you know, paint russia a bodily on front of the international community when the african lead those for example, i lived in the, you put in there was some missing information that i show was uh you know, shedding uh key of our really does where they are. and we saw that the, you know, uh, some good addition uh, you know, members of, uh, so africa mentioned that they never had any bombings, any shootings on 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 of the gun piece initiative. and also a one way of trying to port on the config, because probably it's benefiting of the interest you create and doesn't involve it's on voice. you know, you can, uh tons of what in store to do. so it's for like 10 this off for gun president clinton, then pull on, stored. you'll put in what to do on the what the doors don't accept the deal. and 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 actually anticipated. but uh, you know, uh as an as give like presents and ask you was going to refuse this deal and that is what to do. and so that you print and people that the bank you can people, uh, 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 the munitions. so i think the for the lead

from soft because this to is, i'm getting history. i'm africans, history, but you cannot be used to fight other people's was you need to put your, your interest, you know, the 1st, where people's interest, 5th the 26 annual st. petersburg international economic form wrapped up and rushes northern capital. this saturday. throughout the week, archie has been providing extensive coverage of russia's biggest economic event. the over 4 days before and welcomed around 17000 gaps from a 130 nations leading economists, businesses, politicians, bankers, and scientists from asia, africa, and latin america were among those in 10 minutes. around $900.00 agreements were signed at the event argues union. o'neill was there in our studio at the heart of the forum. he talked to

a research director out of malaysian think tank. who believes that mosque out remains an important global partner and flare despite western assurances or blushes isolation. the. i think the own energy beyond the industrial definitely something that we need to look at. this would security, considering that russia is a good culture without our house, like spalding, we'd bali boats. and i think here it's where we need to explore a bit more about how we can ensure up what security for the entire region is. the whole considering that recently we have been bullying. we have been confronted with a huge issue of hunger mall nutrition and, and poverty around the a. i think that's what we need to explore, how to ensure that off with sources are secure, especially to by less. so treat by lateral research and development together. and recently, the minutes of every culture and foot, se outlook security and malaysia sign m o u, for the russian, calling the fox to strengthen bilateral relationship and trait and put security.

and also a quick call to i think that's something that's exciting. it's a new step to a new collaboration the way you're speaking to. there seems to be so much scope for cooperation that you know, it, it really to a degree baggers, police the way that some russian, some western leaders are saying russia is completely isolated. there's a big world out there, it's not just europe in the us. yes, i definitely agree with you that there tends to be a lot of p. m ongoing. a lot of sharing over risk, especially by the west and media hot. i think the hall russian has been isolated by looking at what we have today. i don't think so. that's the case. we understand that in the long term of russia still is an important global play on the will stage . and it is still a significant partner. in the long term for our region, i think we need to look further than just the usual traditional mindset that weston exporters and, and, and fried us can bring to the table. i think we really need to look at new ways how

we can explore by lateral traits, even trading using a local currency, for example, instead of just using a us all the is just so many positive piece will continue our recap of the 26 st. petersburg, international economic foreign throughout the day here on our t discussing key economic issues facing russia, emerging markets and the world. the ferry carrying a 120 passengers and crew has caught fire. well, as see in the philippines, video shows the black smoke billowing from the deck and a fire raging at the back of the boat. according to officials, a coast guard vessel has been dispatched and attempt to rescue those on board and put out the fire. there's no information yet on any victims. the ferry had been sailing between 2 provinces and the central philippines when the police broke out,

the b u. s. secretary of state and to be blanket has touched down in beijing for talks and the cooling, the increasingly heated tension is between the 2 countries. is the highest level visit by us officials, those 2018. but it comes as washington's brother in arms. the you remains torn between treating beijing like a training partner at once or this a stomach rival the us for trays as are to contribute original 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 up has the

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 starting originally dominant position with ever more vigor acting time and again calendar to our interest in values. meanwhile, last thursday, the european commission encouraged member states to restrict or exclude the equipment of chinese telecom joints while way and z t 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 a stroke to dispose this 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 to be to predict over no ability and to sell use or risk to, i'll come and secure it all the noise about national security certainly serves to obscure the panic that the us simply can't compete with while ways 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 erickson 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 s 400 air defense system. widely regarded as the best as 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, $35.00 fighter jet, so much whining and complaining how about just building a better jet without any vulnerabilities. but instead of seeing this for what it is and pushing back against washington's economic colonize agent of europe, b. u is content with just repeating the same, talking points and doing what it's told, stable in 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 central line. simultaneously courting and bad,

most engaging 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. 2 or $37.00 charges over his election is handling of classified documents. after returning from a court in miami, the former president appeared before his supporters, claiming that the case against him was fabricated to block has run for the white house, which is the most evil. and hey, is 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 rival that's happening right now. many look at these charges against donald trump, the $37.00 counts of mishandled and classified government documents and see them as a big distraction. from the much more serious information surfacing about hunter by the son of us present by the and his nefarious activities and ukraine, which could amount to bribery. republicans in congress have revealed that there are different audio recordings of hunter binding meeting with officials tied to verisk

. my holdings, bruce, 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. busy incomplete picture with respect to what that document really says. so that's why it's important 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 a 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, miami, saudi arabia and other arab nations, place a high priority on independence and sovereignty when it comes to geo political relations. that in the university of hong kong is asia of global institute. he's been sharing his views and a new episode of going underground. you can watch it tomorrow, here on our t the. what's the significance of a m b s. meeting with the blinking, blinking go straight there and to saudi arabia and then cool as 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 whole 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 visitors to strategic autonomy and we have every right to maintain the 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, of course, there are people in the west and in the united states, or we are who have demonic convictions. that want to really come and dominate the region. well, if you asked me over the last 20 years, just as be a rack 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

and before we go, what's the return to our breaking news? this comes in from context on where an armed man has taken a number of people hostage in a bank and the capital of us donna and is threatening to kill them all. the area where the hosted situation is taking place has been filled off. police are at the scene and negotiations with them in our underway, social media reports claim the suspect is 30 years old and it's taken 7 people hostage or all staff members will stay across the story and bring you any updates as we get them. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates my colleagues morales from mom. it will be with you at the top of the hour the,

[000:00:00;00] the, the welcome to was a part of french in need is a friend of the, of the russians, a fond of repeating the same. but they could hardly expect that when faced with the rest of the sections and a par side like efforts to ostracize all things russians. the black continents will reach out if time. most african countries are in your troll in the print in conflict, and some have even expressed a willingness to mediated kenneth lead to a peaceful solution. will. to discuss that, i'm now joined vice lousy homie founder and chief executive officer of the ladies

in the front lines is great to talk to thank you very much for your time. thank you so much. it's an honor to be sitting in front of one of my favorites presents as of our team. so and uh, actually we, we have a very timely, uh time for it for this discussion about i handed some geopolitical latest, your political developments in my introduction. but i want to start with the, with the title of the organization that you represent. ladies in the front line will even such paradoxical times when they even do of basic and foundational concepts are being read, negotiated, or debated. so i have to ask you, who are the ladies, how are they different from women? and what about man and gentlemen? ladies in the front line was rather born almost 20 years ago and it was ladies in the front line funding nurses

came from a church, someone way. these were ladies, do have a church that were living in business in charge of issues and entertainment. so we traded on ladies in the front line for 5 years before we actually registered the conference. so when we went and wanted to really stay as late as in the front line, we were told none of the names already know has been taken. so we have 12 inches but is leading ladies of africa. so we then registered leading leaders and treated as the latest for instance, control is leaving ladies of also kind of the world which was 1st leading ladies of africa. and as we started shopping around the world and becoming global, other women out on the where it says, why don't you include us? why is it only africa? so we've been added in the wells. but the lady was in the front line was about see

me leaders around the world and then leading ladies of africa and the world is, was actually now years now. but this uh, frontline part of it is very interesting because i mean we leave in the, in a world where wars and conflicts and multiplying. but i think one of your found in the organization, you meant that even in the peaceful areas like business since in the car, the women to the performer and succeed. yeah. and it's still the case. yeah. it's still the case x rays. you're finding enough. we started using tension and everything was latest. and then we amazed that we ended up with 70 percent female controlled entity, 30 percent of men who do not mind be led by women. i still have some people who are actually even close friends, but have my deputy cheese in of us. she has and them in and they have no qualms about in public. i've been working with them in brakes and although they still

calling to check and sometimes i forget myself, it was way to them just that faith chance. and so, so it's actually 50 percent of very strong and, and young people we have we seen it. yeah. one mean young leaders around the world for peace, prosperity and social cohesion. now a number of african countries are randy, uh, well represented and they have a good representation of women and governing structures in business. for example, in, in ronda they account for about 60 percent of government officials and 60 percent of problem and tyrants, but they haven't yet endangered a very noticeable change. is it really about women or ladies or the particular gender, or rather the values and the principles, the qualities that we traditionally associates with feminine to that may or may not

be invited by man i think was really of it when it was never about. i have a challenging man to say it was just say, if i'm here and i'm making a contribution, if i'm here even in this office, even if i'm making change, i do have a place of a table and i will not just be passing the passes by with the tray of cheese, i will claim my space as a person because we will work together as a teen, men and women live as what you get up and do not let us be somewhere in the background because as we know english or you have a history of the light, which is a new history, is like those in china now you had the best women when the front line a was and that the edit a lot of a basically just maintenance thing. i mean with we don't coming in saying one to push a man, we uh, some families but we, i,

they as women or as ladies. so i have a favorite saying codes and that says, never has it ever been a time with it? is that which is needed, which is woman and lives in a site because whether we liked what we call exists of human beings and across this um, most of the world uh so lovely. you know, as i was preparing for this interview, i came across the figure that in africa, 70 percent of women are employed in informal secretaries of the economy to be the great economy, or they're doing some important work at home, taking care of the children, taking care of the elderly often times when man leave for example, because of the conflict, they take care of the entire communities. and i understand sort of the applied of encouraging women to go into the form of labor for us. but i also wonder if um,

this informal part of what women do in societies should also be acknowledged and properly rename. or even if everybody lease home from work who's going to take care of that huge barn of live, you know, passing on the traditions passing on care. you know, what about the person who is actually the leading ladies is about stuffs from the, the premises. let's the women's culture at least as a, as a solve african in, in, in our cultures. but the man, when i was to the former labor, they go like to the mines which are out to the end of the areas. and the women were the ones that actually took care of homes and stayed at home. these are women extra anywhere in the front. i knew the sense but there would be no mens going to work in the was hoping to taking care of. so those are the women a so living there is we have across but it's not just into the formal sector. it is

women were plenty of guiding in the bank yet so that they keep the children. it was the main is do the former way. so those are just within i was actually playing or i came with the women who are not actually told them that actually they, they have more on from the civil society that they like going out there helping women in the real areas and helping with the development if you hear that as a bridge, that's phone and all of the kids come close over to go to school. those are the women, the junk food, and call, the former one says, what do we do to? so it's a, it is interesting when it comes to that, it's just women living in ever. it's not just for me, it's in entertainment, it's women. will housewives insist? i think it's really just because if, if for this re midway not taking care of the holding, someone would have to be either be page or grandma would have to take care of the kids. so we don't forget those. i come from

a family of those strong women. i only lost my 96 year old grandmother left. jim, my mother is 83. she's a life. so i always comes from books seen that. so i come from those types of women, but they have always been very strong and lived in my example. i think there is a lot of commonalities here between africa and russia. it would actually say that africa, like russia is a she, it has. and you know, vast resources and norms for technology in all areas. uh, lots of generosity and, you know, huge expansive potential. but i think in both cases that potential remains. ida not fully realized or sometimes exploited by the outside or what can possibly change that in your view. correct? probably the reason why i have this is there's partially recognition and
