in your country and head to a general going underground tv on normal dot com to what's new and old episodes of going underground. so you just have the, the, [000:00:00;00] the inactive international terrorism. that's how it rushes foreign ministry, branded a ukrainian broder tap on moscow. as you a, the fragments crashed into 2 buildings from harris for the bridge summit in johannesburg. the senior chinese foreign policy envoy is on a diplomatic support across the africa to further booth ties and enhanced cooperation on goods out and wrote initiative. and he is really parliament approves

a controversial traditional overall limiting the supreme court's power. that's just by months of anti government protests against the report, the a very good afternoon from moscow. this is our t international with the latest and world news. i'm fiorella, isabel. happy to have you join us. we begin with an attempted ukrainian terror attack in moscow. that's what the russian defense ministry has said. after drone fragments were found near the city center here has yet to comment. on the morning of july 24th, an attempt by the key of regime to carry out a terrorist attack with 2 unmanned aerial vehicles against facilities on moscow territory was foiled to ukrainian. you. avi's crashed after being suppressed by

means of electronic warfare. there are no casualties following the foiled terrorist attack by the key of regime. we are right now in one of the locations where one of the drones has pay and non residential building after being suppressed by the russian defense ministry. and as you can see behind me, that is the building and you can see the damages. but the attack has happened this morning earlier today in moscow. but this is really not the 1st time fee of has carried out terrorist attacks against the restaurant in the capital itself. most notably with us. remember the crumbling attack that happened in may. but of course, ukraine keeps on denying any involvement when it comes to these attacks.

the right now we are in the 2nd location where the 2nd drone has hit and damaged a building. and after being surprised, now you look, sion is a few blocks away from the russian defense ministry itself. and earlier this morning, the crime in officials have said that 17 unmanned aerial vehicles were boiled with 14 ukraine. you, you, these were suppress. 3 of them were destroyed. well,

11 of them crashed into the black sea, and 3 fell into the peninsula. no, no, no casualties have been reported. then of course, ukraine has yet to talk about any of its involvements into this situation. but when it comes to the attacks that happened in moscow today, the most go may or has said that no major damages were done. and of course, just like in the 1st location here as well, we have emergency services and police monitoring the situation. we spoke to russian military expert, alexander st. upon of who believes ukraine's attacks are an act of terror. it seems like it stops and all of your there are more. and now we can see that the key refrigerator changes all the see and no suffering loss is sound good for on plan is

not to drive to change your strategy and to make and that's actually not all just suffering for slash bridges and the killing uh through the answer, the russian federation as well. now, if it's trying to make another focus in the media, and surely this is a part of these big for fear. and so the terroristic attack, i think, will be in the future, just to come in at the new level. we can see of and you get, or you stick stage in the heart of europe. there's that already stick states used to being well equipped by the major countries that is plots all for broke. so you will fear all the nature countries nature, congress. i surely will direct me. ready in the planning and all such staff calls operations and they uh now became a real sponsor. ready on the terrace terrace about them now. so do you. the one journalist may have exposed the contradiction

between tab and it's formed. backers on their definition of success as it was, sends an endless stream of weapons. it seems to be covering for you creams defeats on the battlefield with new public claims. while kids continues to push a different narrative. and according to us, secretary of state anthony blinking ukraine has recaptured 50 percent of it sees territories. so far as the reports seem to be, it is very slow and very tough going. now you train is in a battle to get back more of the land that russia sees from it. it's already taken back about 50 percent of what was initially seized. now they were in a very hard fight to take back to take back more if you could, and is not back tracking the dates at plans to stop. it's in spring, but we didn't, because frankly, we had lots enough munitions and amounts and lots enough free gates properly phrased in these weapons,

but still responsive and this is important because of his thoughts. so that's a bit late from it's come to sat and it's will be share truth. understood by all the experts that it's provided that are sure with the time to mind all, all the lands and build several lines of defense because of that's a slow what base of our content offensive actions. it's not just prominent world officials pushing contradictory claims about ukraine's connor offensive. western media seem to be caught in the crossfire of what is actually happening on the battlefield. with some media outlets, claiming kids showing progress, while others are raising doubts about ukraine success. we discussed the contradiction with michael maloof, a former pentagon, 6 senior security policy analysts, who says that ukraine is trained for defensive not offensive battle. he's delusional,

totally delusional. that's like he's trying to believe of everybody's spirits when . in fact, that's not the case. that's in some inroads, but not, not a lot. and russian forces are very well entrenched. the credits are not trained properly in launching offensive under undertaking and the, the effort to try and train while the while a war is going on. it's very, very difficult. as i said, ukraine itself, more trained for defense of work rather that offensive. and that's why you're not going to see them being able to take anything back. and at some point, it's just an a question of attrition. and this is what it's going to happen. and it's just a question of time and all the rush it has to do is hold out. the reality is, beginning of the 2nd, people are beginning to see that what they envision politically is not happening in

reality on the battlefield. africa will take its place and then you democratic multi polar world order, freeing itself from the bitter legacy of colonialism. those are vladimir boons, comments on the eve of the russia, africa. the summit in saint petersburg, africa feels the burden of global challenges like no other part of the world in such a challenging environment. look forward to working with our efforts in partners to shape and non discriminatory agenda for cooperation. many have from good heard of the so called green deal is initial purpose was to ensure a global foot security reduce the threat of hunger and help the poorest countries of africa, asia, enlighten america. the reason why russia under two's obligation to facilitate its implementation in the 1st place. this deal, however old was publicly advertised by the west as a gesture of good will. the benefit of africa as in fact, been shamelessly used solely for the enrichment of large us and europe in businesses that exported and

a result green from ukraine. and russia isn't the only state seeking deeper ties with african countries. as china is highest ranking diplomat visits the nigerian capital for meetings with the countries president, the parties have agreed to enhanced cooperation within the framework of the chinese belt and wrote initiative. china has said that supports kenya and safeguarding it's solver and independence and fight against terrorism. while president rudo has underline, he's firmly committed to di things strategic cooperation in areas such as rail and highway construction and water conservation. time use diplomat when he is also set to visit or tier ahead of the brick summit in south africa as africa's opportunities in global trade grove, our t shaped bows. explorers, how the continent will choose its business partners. the business range, the britain, france, germany, um portugal always seemed to show the loudest, when it comes to human rights democracy,

a defense of the so called free world. meanwhile, they're not too keen on revisiting their own central historical role in the genocidal exploitation of. 8 africans these former european colonial powers, inflicted vast suffering on the resort rich applicant called killing millions of people as being trillions of dollars and resorts as it seems. africa can look forward to a better, broader, unfair future with this old colonial masters increasingly likely to be left out in the cold. bridge countries represent close to 40 percent of global population and working together. we can truly be a catalytic progressive for us for a more, a cool, inclusive, peaceful, and just global order, with what we're talking about originally, academic communities. so mechanisms, when he brought the continental assets, the unity of african peoples is all primary goal. the world we inhabits is often unkind and on, so it's

a post history and current global difficulties argue against all future success. of course, the central pillar of western post colonial control in africa has been a reliance on the american debt bass currency, the dollar. it strangle hold on african economies has suppressed the confidence ability to innovate and to trade with that fear, politically motivated sanctions from washington for change, just find me in the air with a real possibility that the dollars dominance may be under threat. as africans demand a fair deal for their people, we will expand on addressing the idea of deepening interaction in trading in local currencies. countries one to have greater flexibility and to be less dependent on the dollar. without a single payment platform, payment instructions from one african country to another. typically, it passed through several intermediary financial institutions and into increased costs. we do not believe the us dollar, domination of the flows of trade and investment in the world is to the benefit of all,

especially not for the global self. it's increasingly obvious. those advocate awakens to its own vast potential reality of the emerging multi polar world is not only evident in economic and social terms, but also when it comes to africa's view of that new global reality with african nations refusing to play follow the leader with the old western colonial masters and choosing to steer their own course in their own interests, particularly when it comes to nato's proxy war against russia and ukraine. we need to explain that we indeed are actively non aligned as far as the conflict is concerned. we will make absolutely sure that should wars break out, our contribution will always be calculated at helping the parties and everybody else to bring such conflicts to an end. can you and all the freaking countries found a way to live in peace, optical, and as a sion, russia and ukraine, therefore, also need to respect that borders as all lined by the united nations jot to. we're going to believe in the the enemies of somebody's

enemy. no, that's good, but most of the company we do not want to be aligned with this conflict. very clearly. we want peace. if we condemn this invasion, we're working for a de escalation for a ceasefire. and the dialogue and of course, advocates post colonial masters won't be simply walking away to support a better deal for africans. it's actually quite the opposite with a vast western propaganda and economic blackmail machine now being deployed to the result of course rich content. but african leaders are well aware that the countries that abused them for centuries, or seemingly desperate to preserve the dysfunctional state as quote and prevent and independent and prosperous africa, emerging on a global stage. the old american lead outage. you're either with us or against us. look, set to be rolled out yet again by uncle sam and co, but this time the africans, a wise to with what you're trying to, to can cost. unfortunately,

we are not alone in the oldest that are many others move chosen deposit. we have chosen as me where we uh, we can talk to both sides. so as african leaders had to st. petersburg, it's clear the changes in the year a sense of africa is rising to its feet as respected, equal the tournament to define its own future free of the malign, western influence of stuff for so long held africans back. it's one thing that's absolutely certain. russia will be there for those that stood by are in our, our, of need extending a hand to friendship to its old african allies as they worked together for a better and more just multi polar future. r t will be covering the russia africa summit in st. petersburg later this week and bring you all the latest updates from the forum. stay tuned.

the is really connect that's has approved a controversial judicial reform bill. that's despite the 29th week of protests against the changes kicking off off to our reservations were rejected. and it starts read in the 64 because of the members supported the proposal with all the position of the opposing members. let the plan the recession before the votes. let's cross live now to r. t corresponded marie if the notion of maria, nice to see you the is really parliament has passed a controversial wall which has been condemned from a number of sides. please give us more details on the issue. yes. hello to you. if you're around let in, did the bill that would prevent the charges of his rose supreme court from reviewing the government's decisions and if necessary, declare them unreasonable, became a law on monday. these really

a problem in the class of the prove that unanimously earlier today as the opposition left before even the boat started. let's take a look. notwithstanding what is stated in the basic law or whoever has the traditional authority, according to law, including the supreme court in session as a high court of justice show, not disclose the reasonableness of the decision of the governments of the prime minister of another minister. and shall not issue an order in such a meta opponents are furious. i have to say as they say, it drastically limits the power of the supreme cold. that is in the country with no racing constitution like israel, the only effective protector of civil rights and minorities. they call it a cool, unclaimed it's fragments to turn ero into advocates or shape. we now know that some of position fractions already petitions the countries hi, cold calling to cancel the approval of the bill based rarely prime minister,

very sad that the law is necessary to restore the balance between the branches of the power cord. so legislators and the government this is a widely controversial reform law, is really, is have taken to the streets for 29 weeks, protesting the traditional reform. what can you tell us about the tensions and is really society to yes, which has been very turbulent. i have to say since the beginning a when the knit on yahoo, that government analysis plans to change is rose traditional system and it was pushing very hard. people started taking to the streets to protest. and 7 months later, they never stopped in march as in demonstrations with hundreds of thousands of participants all across the country became a weekly reality here with highways, main roads, and sometimes even in the countries major airport, the blog tends in the most recent,

unprecedented move demonstrator is march from tel aviv here to jerusalem, and that is more than 60 kilometers just to protest. let's take a look at this video clip. the. the law is to say the key factors of these rarely society joined the protest including business leaders, labor leaders, doctors, and even the members of the idea preserves 10 thousands of them declared, they would end, they are willing to do too if the bill is approved. 1100 is rarely air force.

pilots and technicians also said that was not why. and they were also numerous calls from dozens of former top security officials of this country. warning that the consequences will be destructive for the country and is secure with you in just early today and one that is really private and says that the country now is in a state of national emergency. so yes, it has been very, very turbulent recently here on the round. now as you just mentioned, we've seen pressure applied and huge criticism within the country. what have we heard from the world community, especially israel's t ally the united states? yes and david was also a huge outside pressure from america, the president of america. and as you know, it's a israel's, me, a crucial and most important ally and friend to express his deepest concerns. open

developments here on the ground. urgent benjamin netanyahu. these really prime minister not to push the legislation without today, protests possible consensus, and that's an estimate is not the case as we see the country is divided, but anyway, the bill became the law and we may expect, of course, further level all frustration rising and the countries division back to you are to correspond with maria and know to know what the latest. thank you. the warsaw is building up its armed forces in the area bordering colon grad as a russian territory between lithuania and poland. that's according to the polish defense minister. and you separate battelle and will be formed in august of in august. this is yet another military unit that we built from scratch. and i assure you're not the last soon. i will inform you on the new investments, the i, as government cares about poly security,

and that is why it creates new and more nicest, existing military units. for more on the situation, we cross to our tape and river rachel mars and rachel, nice to see you. could you please give us some more details on this? a sir. so 1st of all sappers battalion, what exactly is that combat engineer? so basically they're testing the waters here. new has long been obsessed with this walking gap. it's this 100 kilometers strip along the polish was waiting for sandwich between the russian enclave of collision in grand in the west and bellingers in the east. now, if that gets blocked, then nato gets cut off from his eastern flag. so here we have the police defense minister, conveniently flipping out. now over the fact that wagner fighters, who are formerly active in the ukraine conflict, have effectively been exiled to dollars in the wake of their public meltdown and

long parade march towards moscow over differences with russian military leadership about a month ago. now, just thought of wagner fighters sitting around, kicking back, maybe cracky open if your few coal was somewhere in the vicinity of miss is apparently enough for nato to start having visions of these, wagner dries, making an armed incursion into poland from the east, while russian troops including grad come in from the west, who knows why need those things that they want to do that last i checked is not like taylor swift or beyond say, are bringing their tours to this walk, to jobs. pretty much any excuse or pre tax will do when it comes to poland, being able to load up on weapons and play the role of nato's attack dog that always seems like it's on the verge of shooting, through its own harness. bella russian president with a shame co suggested to russian president vladimir putting over the weekend,

the poland plan to attack bella roost. and that's because there are at least a 1000 polar soldiers that have recently been cozying up to the bell russian border under the pretext that wagner troops were now paying out their shooting deer bottles off posts with fellers and troops on the other side of that boundary. but nutrition co also offered another explanation for polos military build up in that specific area, explaining that sound of the wall key gap just below belarus is western ukraine and the poland. he says wanted to get his hands on a piece of it. i know he's pretty good. one of the brigades found a place just 40 kilometers from breast and the 2nd one around 100 kilometers from growing up. they also opened the leper tank repair facility. and the refresher of our point activities increasing with americans flying military gear before is transported to ukraine. of course, poland raises the question, what, who would get in return? there is

a lot of talk about ukraine joining nato in parts. but that's just a smoke screen. new relatives is coming out of piece of western ukraine, and it will be framed as joining nato so their population accepts. this is the price of full and participating in an operation against the russian armed forces. different a little bit psycho suggestion that poland was itching to get into your brain. echoes what flavor of fruit and told the russian security council, the pulling wanted to ultimately now, but slice of ukraine, what they consider to be their historical territory for themselves. kind of like, i guess making sure you get a slice of that particular pie before a big fat uncle sam of these up to buffet and decides to go crazy on the all you can needs key of offering that might seem like far fetched behavior when considering that poland routinely acts like it's ukraine's best pounds. and a polish incursion into ukraine would be kind of like breaking into your body's

apartments. but just got a load of some of the thought leadership, a k, a snark that's being loaded in the pull list press lately. not only does the lives team get accused of dressing, like a basically like a slob and wearing what looked unimed be ambiguously like military style fatigues, despite having no military background or education. but he's also being portrayed as the west did. c, trophy wife, the west recruited lot of her as a landscape, a supreme come under all ukrainian troops. she only formerly performs. they're all of the president of ukraine. everything is essentially decided either in washington or buckingham palace. the landscape doesn't understand politics. the fact that he suddenly has billions in a bank account, the position of president and phone numbers of world political leaders who shake hands with does not guarantee that he knows how to engage in politics. a north

south saying with friends like that, who needs enemies? the piece goes on to say that washington has a whiskey on a short leash and won't let him negotiate with russia. and that he's oblivious to the fact that the west is looking out for its own interest over and above you, prince, this polish piece, basically max is out the number of ways in which the landscape can be called, who list for. and that if a politician wants to be sober and it is not enough that he has an army, he still has to take care of it. yes, perhaps this is the only things the landscape has at the moment with the support of the us and the you, but only because it's in the interest of the west. however, so landscape quickly lost the support of the citizens of ukraine. even those who voted for him, hoping to put an end to the civil war and ukraine. no opposed him. yeah, well, that's your trained best body. poland. ladies and gentlemen, now

a fully locked and loaded loose counter all thanks to the ukraine conflict and also now out on ukraine's staff with needles blessing under the guise of wanting to either help this incompetent, slovenly, useful idiot. zalinski as is qualified in this full list price or maybe and i'm just punch him and his country square and the face with a polish battalion depends which sides the bed. bipolar poland wakes up on, i guess that's our to contribute or rachel mars. then thank you very much, rachel, and that's all for now. but up next we're told the ukraine conflict is about democracy, but many conclude it's actually a huge script. more on this on cross talk. don't go far. the

. the the hello and welcome to cross stock or if all things are considered on people about what is the ukraine conflict, really all about we're told is about democracy. other say it's about the rules based order, whatever that means. in fact, there is nothing noble about this conflict. it's just another huge gripped those in power. want to keep it that way. the discuss this and more,

i'm joined by my guess martin j america. she's an award winning journalist and commentator. and in budapest we cross the jordan, samuel, we, he is a pod cast, read the goggle, which can be found on youtube span locals. i start out with george. as i said in the introduction, georgia, i've always believed. and, you know, i've talked about this a great length of this is just one other huge craft on the heels of afghanistan. and we all know the phrase, whatever it takes. well, i think that we're missing the 2nd half, whatever it takes for me to make a lot of money. because i think that's the full sentence of this propaganda effort to keep the company going. it's, it's, it's no coincidence. you know, we run out of ammo all we have to buy and make new m. oh okay. new contract going out fully in, in the meantime, we don't really want to do it bucks, cluster munitions, which basically they want to get rid of it so they can buy the next generation of munitions. i mean, it seems to work for everybody. does it go ahead?
