pushed back against brussels pressure to export ukrainian grain via land routes with their agricultural sectors already under strain. after an influx of cheap wheat products, also a hand to the sales team and leadership has taken many decisions, ain't that protection are legitimate national rights in the shadow of unprecedented international silence, i've seen an ability to hold this occupation accountable for its crimes. took in palestine voice their criticism over the lack of attention that the palestinian issue has received from the international community the coming to you from the russian capital. this is our t international with the latest and world news updates. i'm fiorella isabel. great to have you with us. it's the 2nd russia africa summit. we'll take off this

thursday and st. petersburg, bilateral economic and political goals for the coming years are expected to be laid out. the russian president has addressed participants. and guess at the forum. today, advocates increasingly searching itself as one of the pose of the emerging multiple of the world's russia supports the desire of african states for social, economic stability and progress. it is important that in recent years, our top ration with africa has reached a new level. we intend to further develop it, and of course, we'll continue to fully assist our african partners in strengthening national and cultural sovereignty in their more active participation in southern regional and global issues. let's cross out to our corresponded on the ground donald corridor. good afternoon, dawn. tell us what's happening in st. petersburg today as hello fiorella. well, i'm right now at the constantinople palace in saint petersburg,

where vladimir putin is expected to meet a number of african leaders on the day before the russia, africa summit begins, the russian president also wrote an open letter to the participants of this summit, saying that wishing them success in a further developing mutually beneficial cooperation between nations and also welcoming, welcoming them to russia and to this summits. now, this is the 2nd to ever russia africa summit, and it's expected to be much larger than the last one. actually, we've got 17 heads of state and representatives from 49 different countries expected to attend. and a lot of those representatives are also members of inter governmental organizations like the african union and the east african community. so we've got a long list of high profile attendees expected to participate in the summit. and we were also expecting vladimir putin to address the entire summit on july 28th. and that's expected to be focused on international relations as well as the emerging

multi polar world. so this is really a series of events that our viewers should really keep an eye on because we're going to be there. and we're going to be covering those events as they take place. our t for responded donald quarter, keeping us with the latest from st. petersburg. thank you. the official kick off is still to come, but our tea has already spoken to several headliners of the summit and an exclusive interview. south african foreign minister and the lady. pandora has stressed the continent. is that a turning point and is becoming a major global power by overcoming it's neo colonial legacy? you can find this and other hot topics in full version of the interview throughout the day. but here's a short preview for now. of the relationship that has been built up of a many years between africa and russia. so very important relationship for us, particularly south africa, given the role that the people of russia played, you know,

struggle for freedom. from time to time. the united nations has been used for political it's, it's been made the weapon by some against i was we have to end that. and i think having a diversity in its structures and make them isms allowing for democratic processes . i think it is time that all continent realize that it has the possibility of being an extremely powerful part of the world. and we need to be formally in control of our own capabilities, our resources, and we should manage them to the interest of the african continent and not have this notion that we owe someone something because that's the neo colonial ideal. so i think we need to begin to understand our own power

and to use it to good effect flatfoot. even those who claim to be friends have really exploited the results of the continent. and, you know, colonialism was about mineral resources was about extraction, but to no one, no oppressor will change the situation of oppression. it is you who are oppressed, who must change it. so i think we need to develop a different relationship with our resources, manage the myself, develop the ability to be innovative, use partnership such as a partnership with you, or the united states or russia for all interest, and not the interest of others. we need to have great offenders in world trade and we need to ensure getting that financial systems and institutions. i'm not putting those 2 sides to a level that they become

a battery. yeah. a to trait. so having great diversity is extremely important because once you attach to one car and c o one system, you then become somewhat of a hostage. and that's what we've go to and we have to have fed trade, proper systems, financial security. but you can be tied to one, and the moment is probably now to consider alternatives. foreign ministers all is a secret that bank poses no. um, i think that uh, you know, the world is i to worry movement and i, i don't want to under play uh, the threat that faces us as the global community. if we're unable to resolve current challenges in the run up to the event, our t also sat down with a number of prominent figures coming up with speed with south african diplomat. no mom, but then bumble whose parents were prominent anti apartheid activist. here's

a preview of the interview, which you can watch in full throughout the day on our t. you know, my time to time though is a prominent south african diplomat who served in european countries such as italy, malta, and albania. no, my tempered combo is a member of the international women's foreign supporting women leaders around the globe. number 10, the tumble is the daughter of oliver combo and adelaide tom. though oliver campbell was a prominent anti apartheid leader and served as president of the african national congress for 24 years. johannesburg airport was named in his honor. adelaide tumble was well known for her role in the struggle against apartheid. she was awarded south africa's highest honor adelaide combo, served as

a member of the country's parliament for 5 years. the interest of each country is for the basement of fast citizens. what we're trying to do now is the a you, is to say that we have to find ways where what happens with in us is more important than what happens outside of us. we determine ourselves, we need to be more interest spec to maybe we need to decides that wonderful to have relationships with other countries. but we need to say african solutions, african problems, not wisdom solutions for african problems when a present around the plaza with was jeff as lizzie, a, they did a wonderful change agreement which is continental the base. and that allows us to treat with each other with that was a red tape that has historically been that and it seems to be holding it seems to be holding. so if we can keep that kind of momentum going, there's no reason to,

to why we can't find ourselves in a position where the wealth that is generated in africa stays in africa to our, to, we'll be covering the rest of africa summit in st. petersburg. this week, and we'll have all the latest updates for you, stay tuned. the e u countries neighboring ukraine are under pressure to help with great exports at the expense of their own agricultural sector with brussels, determined to import ukrainian products using land routes after russia left the blacks the green deal that those states, these economy has already been damaged. by the influx of cheap advert, cultural products from ukraine are pushing back our to contributor rachel mars then reports in the wake of the black sea grain deals demise. the european union's

agriculture commissioner is now saying that the block is ready to, for the entire bill for getting ukrainian grade to market by shipping it across the block. we are ready to expert, almost everything. this is about $4000000.00 tones per month of oil seeds and grains. and we achieve this volume in november of last year. that volume is what eastern european countries like romania, poland, hungary, folk area. and so back here called a massive deluxe, that was crushing their own economies by driving down the price of their own farmers products. which is why rustles had to toss 100000000 euros in cash at these countries and caught a temporary deal with them to only allow transit through them at least into september, no storage. and all of these trends that would happen by a so called solidarity lines. but some of these countries still have not made

enough investment in their infrastructure to suddenly be able to scale up green transport across their territories in the us. since the land by used to experts, routes were opened. poland has taken no major steps to improve its own infrastructure or the capacity of its ability ports. unless it is unlikely, the country will be able to repeat the fee to come the summer's harvest. the police government has repeatedly blamed brussels for not provided enough help. poland is like the guy who never happens to have his wallet with him at the pub. med is always working in angle to get others to open up. there's whether it's milking us taxpayers for weapons, cash or european tax payers for subsidies. so the big question now is how brussels is going to convince these i'm prepared, eastern european states like poland to just open the floodgates to their own

detriment particularity in the case of poland as elections loom later this year. so how is the e you going to convince these countries to go against their own best interest and trust that the you won't screw this up as is their standard practice? well, looks like they're going to do that by invoking the need to stick it to russian president vladimir putin. trade is not attractive enough. crusher will be a beneficiary of the situation, because it will be cheaper to buy grading from russia. then ukraine, the district supported through poland to the baltic ports. so unless the you can take a risk of spilling all of the trading grain onto itself and not just the 60 percent that it was taking in before. then it might as well just be firing missiles directly at the same difference, really blocks you for any rain has replaced hot showers in europe has the new,

big red. but the you is selling me a lot like someone who stands up at a wedding and objects to the union because they are having a secret affair with one of the parties. they just seem to care a whole lot about what supposed to be a humanitarian project. to feed the world for the eu has been having a torrid affair with the ukrainian humanitarian grain. as opposed to teen, entered as president, raise up everyone, a pointed out and even using it to feed and boost european live stock exports. even italy's defense minister just admitted that quote, 95 percent of export ado printing rain does not go to africa. so at least now with this new initiative to take all the grain onto its territory, the you can just start pretending that it's ending up elsewhere. but it sounds like they may have to pay off a lot of their own member states to look the other way. and while the west is

focused on helping ukraine with its great exports, russia says only a small part reached the poorest countries under the black sea deal. and is recent article vladimir putin says moscow is ready to replace ukrainian grain supplies with russia, expecting a record harvest this year of the, the russian president also underlined that despite st. jones, russia exported around $10000000.00 tons of green to africa in the 1st half of it is here. while the west is profiting from the brain deal instead of helping nations in need. earlier russia withdrew from the agreement in a move condemned by the us and saying none of its conditions were met. we heard from people in kenya on the importance of rushes plans to help ease the food crisis . she's capable of keeping the african content very excited to receive the news that by showing the supply, the african we woods, we drain sweet, sweet,

and i think we really have a cheap food security for me. i do not need to again deborah rush. you can see the entire continent with their grain in kenya, particularly in the northeastern region. people are dying of hunger. so i think it's a good idea to have russia supply grain. russia can also assist us in manufacturing and a military training. this will have african countries become more independent and not require assistance from other nations. medina need to and then if russian manages to bring grain to africa, this will be very important to be, since you crime is not in a position to do so. russia is a big country, they have them can produce mole, graeme and any other country in the world about people will not die of hunger. dr. joseph, i want to take this opportunity to appreciate the russian president for his diplomatic decision to sent an of green and food to africa. personally, i've been using russian fertilizer since last year and is the best it gives me more healed is a brilliant idea. and in kenya,

we support him. wheat flour is very expensive because we don't have enough grain. so getting more food stuff from russia is the best way to go work. during talks with president ardo one and on kara, palestinian leader mahmoud abbas lambasted israel's actions in the palestinian territories as well as the international lack of action on the issue. so how much as a is know they were facing on extreme right wing is really government. but 6 with oil it's my to destroy would remain some of the foundations of the political process to deliberate and planned racist and colonial practices. the palestinian leadership has taken many decisions aimed at protecting our legitimate national rights in the shadow of an unprecedented international silence. and inability to hold this occupation accountable for his crimes against our people and our sanctity . there are a 1000 resolutions in the united nations,

not one of which has been implemented for us. very no. palestinian president obama a boss met his turkish count of parts in the capital city of uncut onto it. here on tuesday to discuss a number of regional issues. most importantly is the israel and palestine conflicts richard thought are the ones that the, the, his government will continue to support the palestinian people as well as the palestinian cause that there are a great deal of turkish engineers that are in line waiting and providing a great deal of humanity hearing aid, but continued to emphasize on one very important points with respect to the conflict in palestine. and that is up to you when's resolutions must be implemented? peterson dawson, it for a long time. the police, the an issue has not receive the attention. it deserves some vague genoalvi, international community. it is important that the international community, especially the united nations strongly in gauges seem to pull the scene in the sheet to key or will continue increase in solidarity. you will the posting and people, and given support to the post in costs and the strongest way. now this resolution

that was suggested in 1967 drew very specific lines and borders for a 2 state solution. of course, the deal was not implemented over the years. now, there hasn't been a great deal of development with respect to how turkey is going to the mediating this possibility, or even a probability of a solution with respect to this conflict. we do know that the turkish president is going to be meeting the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. sometime either later this year, you were supposed to meet him sometime this week, but because of some health issues that was delayed and postpone but the present, the posted in present also made an important announcement as well as saying that this matter will be discussed and we will continue our talks in cairo and seeing that egypt will be a part of this process as well. we know that the church president will be meeting the egyptian president on wednesday, so it will be important to see what kind of a discussion those 2 will have, what they will bring to the table. and what they will announce with respect to this

palestinian and israeli conflict and how they plan on moving forward. just one month remains before one of the major events on the international arena. the 15th break summit, which will take place in johannesburg. the summit will reportedly consider the creation of a bricks, currency, as well as an alternative exchange mechanism. we discuss the prospects of those developments with a panel of experts which now of the box creating a single currency that don't don't arise. the entire information transaction was this initiative that we have among the bricks. it's going to make easier between companies to be able to today at among each other without using. i didn't that i shouldn't concierge that i've gotten and see for the dollar interaction. so it has been limited to some degree under the globalization by the fact that the single

carlos about all cloud actions were happening to the tune of 88 percent by the us government. and therefore, the us government using sanction size $10000000.00 of international relations has to be found for a station for many countries. why do you think it's important that the projected bricks, currency be based in gold rather than a different monetary unit? i think, you know, there is a general consensus that the u. s. has abused the money printer. it's major advantage is being its ability to print as many dollars as we shoes out of see that . and i think the breaks community of nations is saying to itself, look, let's get that so most stable environment where money is actually sound and is not dependent on the money print to. it's key that it's, it's based on something sound. i think the gold standard gold has been treated as real money for thousands of years. and therefore, i think the,

the conceptual basis underpinning the brakes car and see has plenty of them into, with now on an inexorable move towards that currency and into a diminishing of the office and try that to you. of the dollar bricks has positioned itself as the voice of the developing world, which traditionally has been neglected by global institutions. how interested then are these developing nations and having and you go back as a, as an alternative to the us dollar, which i remind everyone is really not backed by anything to do. i have a great warranty with some to go to the total adjustment program. basically what the program means is shut down only off of three's should not only offer book to be tech, don't boss on the shower. do you need a live diploma? does offer different nice show. i wish all of this is tim succeeded in just doing the part of you productivity,

the denied them of what your budget good job to point you know people tend to live . oh, so that is exactly what to do for you. and i also got this. yeah, this is very, very high. we don't look under the big, strong, bullish on a do our success is showing do more. we did the, the better for your success of all good people because i, well, this on you got to get the new policy so that we can continue to advance our growth and development a canyon. let initiative to send peacekeeping forces to sudan has received a partial response from the war torn countries military officials. the stated goal of the proposed east african blocks mission is to protect civilians and aid workers . however, this suit any side accuses kenya of serving the interest of another named country,

of the canyon president says he will bring east african troops to the done. we say to the canyon presidents leave these. the african troops behind bring the canyon army instead, and let them face us. and the country that supports you mercenaries like you and buys you with their money. you can bring their army to. we swear, none of them will return home. the student is army, has rejected the east african blocks involvement multiple times, while claiming that kenya supports militants from the rapids support forces. however, kenya has suppressed its neutrality towards the more than 100 day conflict. and in a row before an affairs official call, the threats from the student is commander quote, on worthy of comment. while clashes between the war insides continue across to down the latest round, the peace talks to stop. the war have taken place in togo. both political and civil

leaders attended the meeting, joining representatives from the national army. the r a suff envoy stated that their side is ready to end the fighting law, presenting a roadmap and action plan for peace. numerous efforts by neighboring countries to help resolve the conflict have failed with peace talks hosted by egypt earlier this month. in the latest efforts, we spoke to a journalist from sudan and a political analyst from cairo. both of them have called the peace keeping initiative from kenya, a miscalculation this is a risk you to find out. so i never can 3 kids, a good health. instead of, she kissed these 1st and they found a part of our phone and a risky problem, deaths can be the part that are for print them, troubles and you think the relationship. this is very important. again, this is very risk you more and that's uh kenya. dude. and i think it'd be sure to stop me. the issue and the solution. send

a radical solution for this and look at this issue from another vision. it's very risky. it's uh, it's needing a lot of search and get an understanding for the issue and the matter that's helping the answer to these cubic salter, it's impossible to, to can to sedan or to hold horse. sure it is. i said the cities are me far as cost if i this has internal facing is internal more between rebates and part pharmacists and army viruses. and right now it's a problem. now is the army until we for a new government is kind of issue can be for our rates. and we can talk about these keeper, but he has not the has or he has not the power to confirm their calling or i think it might be mistaken by virginia and present them to union left many, such as that something was on the national man. beats tend to have a long history off for a peace keeping activities inside,

so that in the poured solid. so this whole no problem, but you have to do a method called and i said it was um mr. pollution from the president. and so there was this response, and i think the all right, now the union president is infected because if you want the same forces to accomplish living area, you'll want to get close to approval on the ground. but fighting forces. otherwise it would be very challenging. the mission, as long as the, the, in the warning good. as on the stop speeding the b one, when the wanted to, to send the peacekeeping forces of the, at least 6 people have been killed by extreme weather gripping. it will leave the country as in golf by heat in the southern parts and storms in the north, in several regions of the a tiling island of sicily,

salt temperatures rise above $47.00 degrees celsius, causing mass of wild fires with the local airport closing over night. due to the heat, 16 natalia and cities were put on red alert, with hundreds of citizens evacuated from the affected areas. meanwhile, the northern parts of italy, witness heavy rain, strong, wind and storms, resulting in flooding entries collapsing. and that's all for now, but stay tuned for an exclusive interview with the south african foreign minister and the lady pandora coming up next the well, i have a great privilege on on it to be joined today by dr. my lady, pendle the foreign minister of south africa and you know, to have you here in advance of the north in saint petersburg,

careful for the 2nd russia african summit. i know that the last one was 2019. it happens every 4 years, but so much has changed in the past 4 years since since the last summit. and here we are on the front lines of what is a budgeting, multi point of world and municipal. i will get to that eventually at some point, but from all of us here, asking you to national for one of us here, we are so grateful for your time. so just taking time with us today. thank you very much for joining us here. i wanted to ask you, 1st and foremost, of course, as the africa summit with russia here in st. petersburg. but, and i'm very glad the south africa, of course, is being represented here. but why, what are your expectations for this summer? what, what's the mission of south africa for this? well, i suppose that there are many strands to the expectation, especially it has to continue the relationship that has been built up over many years between africa and russia. so very important relationship for us,

particularly south africa, given the role that the people of russia played in the struggle for freedom. so it's a, you know, relationship, a brother and sister of comrades and friend, and this to continue that. then the 2nd would be to continue to establish strong bones in advancing the development goals of the african continent. and to ensure that the commitment that russia has both illustrative and expressed over many is continues to be given practically fact by the programs that we agree together and the actual execution. then the 3rd strand is of course people to people exchanges. we shim.
