8:02 am
2nd rush, africa summit will kick off this thursday in st. petersburg, bilateral economic and political goals for the coming years are expected to be laid out. the russian president has a dress participants and guess at the forum. today, advocates increasingly asserts in itself as one of the pose of the emerging multi power world. 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 in st. petersburg were flooding our potent 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 further developing mutually beneficial
8:03 am
cooperation between nations and also 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 communities. 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. yes, i shall take off is still to come. but archie has already spoken to several headliners
8:04 am
of the summit and an exclusive interview. south african foreign minister and the lady pandora has stress. the continent is at a turning point and is becoming a major global power by overcoming its neo colonial legacy. you can find this another hot topics in full version of the interview throughout the day. but here's a short preview for now. the relationship that has been built up over many years between africa and russia, sorry, 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 a, it's been. busy the weapon by some against i was we have to end that unless things have been a diversity in it structures and make them isms allowing for democratic processes.
8:05 am
i think it's this 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 cause 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 since 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,
8:06 am
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 your 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 assistance and institutions. i'm not putting those 2 sides to a level that they become a battery. yeah. a to trait. so having greater 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 fit trade purpose systems,
8:07 am
financial security. but you can be tied to one, and the moment is probably now to consider alternatives. foreign ministers will, is as secret, so that by now, um i think that, you know, the world is i to worry movement and i, i don't want to on the play a, the threat that faces us as the global community. if we're unable to resolve current challenges, let's cross live to new new what goal and african political analyst. welcome, and let me ask you this. from the beginning 49 african delegations have confirmed their participation in the summit. what does this say about the scale of cooperation between russia and africa? oh, um it's, it speaks value because, you know, i must agree 1st and foremost with a foreign minister of south africa. i think it's time for advocated just truly take
8:08 am
the mantle and lead its own subject 3. and this is the time for advocate to make a statement. and this summit is the place to make that statement. they no longer need to be dependent on western nations. africa, as he stated, does not lack of resources where it lacks is an equitable bilateral relationships and russia is viable to speak to build that relationship with and sustain and build, ask because collective economy. will you speak of africa having more of its own national sovereignty and the respective countries now, moscow saying western countries i've been trying to prevent the summit from taking place and to disrupt the continents. ties with russia. why has the content and chosen to stand up to this pressure at this moment? because you know, we, we have to go back to the division of the likes of climbing and from this is to
8:09 am
visit actually coming into fruition. the reason that africa thought communion, the same and fox, it's independence and freedom is to arrive at this point to make a decision for its own self to choose partners to align with african states of vision for their respective developments, their respective interest. and it's no longer about, you know, a bound down to the colonials who has suppressed and robbed and literally just fretful. the advocates for uh, from truly developing and reaching is potential and now is the time we're no longer afraid of the former colonizers. we're just truly breaking away from on of the ties. you know, for instance, a, the western nations have used 8 funds. a funds are the most strengthening of funds doctors have ever been injected into africa in african space are finally
8:10 am
realizing that these funds are not helping applicant develop. they're literally just making african states worse than they were before. so why would a state that is knowledgeable of these situations continue to hold on to a relationship that's not equitable? have okay, is looking to have a seat at a table where equitable discussions can take place where em, harsher will. and relationships could be, bells and traits can be made fairly and equitably. an applicant arriving at this summit for an equitable conversation and looking to build and strengthen relationship with russia because they understand that russia is a viable, equitable finding. apart from this emerging multi polarity, south african ford administer,
8:11 am
and the lady ponder has also pointed out they need to reform the un framework. why is it viewed as a politically weaponized institution? because the human tends to insert itself in situations, especially in developing in space like on the continent to further spent in the western agenda. an idea, ology and western ideology don't necessarily work for everyone. everyone must create policies. they must implement policies that work for each and every respective applicants space. there are 55 states sovereign space on the continent, and then there is the umbrella that hovers over an entire continent imposing policies that don't work. not one single wisdom policy has worked and africa. democracy is not imposing democracy is not suppressive. democracy. it is not
8:12 am
crippling. and africans actually need to fight to reform the when, because they genuinely don't have a tangible voice in the you in the way it is structured at the moment. and if it doesn't work for them, if they must exit exit, there are other options. the brick nations are stablished that in itself can become a lot more powerful than that you, when the weight is going at the moment. well, one of the leading organizations against this unilateralism that we've seen in decades is breaks. why do organizations such as bricks? seems to be of interest to an increasing number of countries, especially in the global south. you know, it's, it's mine, bob. bob, believe that one currency dominates the global economy. and the brakes is it's formulated to challenge that because as the foreign minister of
8:13 am
south africa mentioned, african states need to have options. there's no reason why a whole continent should be held hostage to trade at a higher value, at inflated value, when the currencies are not equipment. there is not a single african state that can't ever become equivalent to the dollar. so why should they have their economies crippled because they can never match, but the ones, the ones that their currencies can never be dollar to dollar. so for that reason, i think applicants, they genuinely need to consider joining the brakes and having the kind of fees because they're all solving currencies. for instance, there's no reason why 13 applicant countries need to be a pain restitution. so if it's a friends to use their currencies, to have
8:14 am
a crime scene is printed in france, then that's the uh, the, the cfc is absolutely critically 13 african states. and that is just not acceptable in this century. and is this era, and this is the reason why african sion genuine me do the due diligence look into it. the brakes see what the brits could offer and start joining. so that way they could create spaces within the economies and have options and have other current things that they can trade in. what is your best hopes that the content gets out of this summit? you know, my best hope is that africans arrived to this so many brave, unafraid to make decisions, to take risk that would and leave it them out of poverty and build a tangible relationship with the likes of russia and china and others who don't
8:15 am
impose policies on them, that is how that's holding them from genuinely developing and sustaining their economies. and i want them to arrive at this. so in no way that they no longer need to bowed down to the colonial oppressors, africa has everything. we have the resources, we have the human capital, we have institutions that just need bi lateral relationships. that's called africa need is equitable bilateral relationships with traits could be mean in equitable mat in. so that way it's beneficial to both partners. and that's what applicants need to arrive at this summit, knowing that they are the global force at the moment. africa is the global force and they just need to continue to build viable relationships wise. whereas african political analysts knew what goal. thank you very much. no, no, thank you. r t,
8:16 am
we'll be covering the russia africa summit in st. peter bergs this week and we'll have all the latest updates for you. stay tuned. of the e u countries neighboring ukraine are under pressure to help with green exports at the expense of their own. advert. cultural sector with brussels, determined to import ukrainian products using land routes after russia left the black sea green deal with those states whose economies have already been damaged by the influx of cheap agricultural 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 markets by shipping it across the block. we are ready to expert,
8:17 am
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 bulgaria, 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 based experts,
8:18 am
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 summers harvest, the police government has repeatedly blamed brussels for not provided enough help. poles like the guy who never happens to have his wallet with him at the pub med is always working at angles 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 you going to convince these countries to go against their own best
8:19 am
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 crate is not attractive enough. crusher will be a beneficiary of the situation, because it will be cheaper to buy grain from russia than ukraine. the district supported through poland to the baltic ports. so unless the you can take a risk of spilling all of the training rein onto itself and not just the 60 percent that it was taken 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 e. u is sounding 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
8:20 am
a whole lot about what's 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 both preaching entered as president raise up, everyone a pointed out and they've been 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 stop 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 to. and while the west is focused on helping ukraine with its green exports, russia says only a small part reached the pores. countries under the black sea deal,
8:21 am
and his recent article vladimir putin says moscow is ready to replace ukrainian green supplies with russia, expecting a record harvest this year. the russian president also underlined that despite sanctions russia x forwarded around $10000000.00 tons of brain to africa in the 1st half of this year. while the west is profiting from the brain deal instead of helping nations in need. russia earlier withdrew from the agreement and the move condemned by the u. one saying none of its conditions were met. we heard from people in kenya on the importance of russia's plans to help ease the food crisis. to actually get bubble all see didn't the content very excited about showing the supply the africa with foods our brains. we we 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
8:22 am
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 and they to and then if russia manages to bring grain to africa, this will be very important to be sent to ukraine is not in a position to do so. russia is a big country, they have them can produce small grain than 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. the drain thoughts with the president are
8:23 am
wandering on car, a palestinian leader mahmoud abbas lambasted israel's options in the palestinian territories as well as the lack of international action on the issue. so how much as a is know they were facing and 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. now. you know how the stadium, president obama, a bus met his turkish counterparts 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
8:24 am
red chip. tide are the ones said 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 engines that are in line waiting and providing a great deal of humanity hearing aid. but continue 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 received the time. so it is a sunday genoalvi international community. it is important that the international community, especially the united nations strongly in gauges seem to pull the city and the sheet to kia will continue increase in solidarity with a policy and people, and given support to the policy and costs in 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,
8:25 am
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 palette sitting present also meet an important announcement as well as saying that this matter will be discussed and we will continue our talks in cairo painting . that's 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,
8:26 am
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 discussed the prospects of those developments with a panel of experts. briggs now of the box creating a single currency that don't, don't arise the entire information to the infection with this initiative that we have among the brakes. it's going to make it easier between companies to be able to today at, among each other without using. i didn't that i shouldn't guarantee 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 clock on crowd actions were happening to the tune of 88 percent by the us dollar. and therefore, the us government susie and function sides of a 1000000 of international relations has to be filed for
8:27 am
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? but i think, you know, there is a general consensus that the us has abused the money printer. it's major advantage has been its ability to print as many dollars as we share is out of seen that. and i think the bricks 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 under pinning the big scanner and see um, it has plenty of a mentor with now on an inexorable move towards that currency and into
8:28 am
a diminishing of the office and try that to you. of the dollar for ex 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 her as the, as an alternative to the us dollar, which i remind everyone is really not backed by anything to have a great warranty with some to go to total adjustment program. basically what the program means is, shut down only off of threes, shutting down on the book to be doing drugs and to show what do you need a live diploma does offer define a nice show. i wish all of this is tim succeeded in destroying the part of the productivity, the denied demo, but judge it good job to point, you know, terms of gender alive. oh, so that is exactly what to do for you. and i also got a picture of this is very, very high. we don't just under the biggest strong bullish on
