deepest interests to discuss with you as a friend of the brother the country was on auto, but it's alicia's and regional issues. thank you very much. mister president vladimir potent has arrived here at the constantinople palace in saint petersburg for a number of meetings with african leaders. and the 1st on the agenda, of course, was this meeting with the opium prime minister. the russian president welcomed him to the country to saint petersburg, saying that he's looking forward to continue this long history of warm relations between russia in ethiopia that go all the way back to one e. c o. b, a became the 1st country on the african continent to establish a diplomatic relations with russia. vladimir putin also went over a number of indicators of this deepening partnership, like the fact that trade turn over between the 2 countries has increased 56 percent since last year. vladimir put and also talked about how russia is increasing the quotas for ethiopian students looking to pursue their indic,

their education in the russian federation. if it's all part of the emerging multi polar world that the russian president wrote about in a letter that he made earlier welcoming the guests, the 4 guests and the participants looking to take part in the upcoming russia africa summit. today, africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the pulse of the motion multiple wills, rush to support, the desire of african stays with social, economic stability and progress. it is important that in recent years, our cooperation with africa has reached a new level. we intend to further develop it, and of course we'll continue to fully assist our african baldness in stray from the national and cultural solvency in the more active participation in solving regional and global issues. for his part, the ethiopian prime minister, so that he's more than happy to continue this sort of cooperation specifically on the bilateral level as well as on a regional level. so based on all this,

it really looks like this meeting between the russian president and the, the o, b and prime minister are set to yield some very productive results. south african president, rama sosa, has arrived in russia with more african leaders expected ahead of the 2nd russia africa summit. taking off this thursday in saint petersburg, the south african foreign minister and the lady, pandora in an exclusive interview, has stressed that the continent is moving on from its colonial past, and is at a turning point to become a major global power. you can find this and other hot topics on our website throughout the day, but for now, here's a short preview. 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, you know, struggle for freedom from time to time. and 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. 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 form. we're 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 themselves, develop the ability to be innovative, use partnership such as a partnership with you, or the united states or russia for our interests, and not the interest of others. we need to have great to fitness in world trade and we need to ensure getting that financial assistance and institutions. i'm not putting that to sized 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 have fed trade, prop us 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 fact poses no. um, i think that to, 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 in the run up to the event, our te, set down with a number of prominent figures coming up with speak with human rights activists and daughter of the 1st president of independent mozambique dizziness he yeah,

yeah. michelle, here's a preview of the interview, which you can watch in full throughout the day on our team. a gina z. i a marshal. she is a prominent fighter for human rights who gives a voice to gender based violence survivors in 2020 josina. michele made the bbc list of top 100 influential women in the world. she's the daughter of sonora and russia. michelle nelson mandela is her stepfather, samara michelle is a former leader of the most m beacon socialist party. and the 1st president of independent mozambique tragically died in 1986 in a plane crash during his presidency. russia michelle is a former chancellor of the university of cape town and a current member of the africa progress panel. she is the only woman in modern history, who's been the 1st lady of 2 countries. nelson mandela is a world wide,

renowned, anti apartheid activist who spent 27 years in prison for a legend trees. and nelson mandela was the 1st black south african president, ruling the country for 5 years. we always need to be involved in dialogue, and it doesn't matter in which part of the world we are. and it's important also to create, to take away the issue of bipolar politics. right. and it's included in the world because this, this situation is right now in 2023 in flux, everybody in this world. and so it's important to continue to say, what can we do? how do we participate, how we part of this human family above everything our to will be covering the russia africa summit in st. petersburg this week. and we'll have all the latest updates for you. stay soon. the

night is yours, presidency has confirmed a crew attempt by the presidential guard and unconfirmed reports they, the nation's leader is trapped in his office. while the government is declaring it's ready to confront the rebels. it is wednesday morning, elements of the presidential guard engaged in an end to republican movement and tried in vain to obtain the support of the national armed forces and the national guard. the army and the national guard are ready to it's out of the elements of the presidential guard involved in this and rest. if they don't come to their senses. we spoke to local journalists, moved on mohammed ali, who brought us details about the unfolding situation. i dealt with minnesota so sir, now i need you to nearby, especially on the say that the situation is still going through was um the visit. i said about us there is nothing coming in or out. but the thing there is something

that assumed it was the same. actually the presidential under god for them to do with it. the and me to do the subject is of the data. people assumed by the president buzzing is not like what she has reason to do. for the people who need to introduce different things from this. if there's a, this is the person in egypt and is coming back to this. i also found out i'm not happy with what he's doing or till i see that or need to understand the things that he has to step down and do want to take over and then to do in the way that you do . ready with time to, as you want to do, there's nothing officials coming out from the government has submitted this manual to send a statement to see if there has to be uh these people who are trying to take the file or they have to maintain that have to kind of do that, or what says otherwise, the national dog anatomy will, will do them then, then this, if this is the disparity,

let's say that they're supposed to be immediately. so we're going to want this a hello. so what do you sell in the neighboring countries? like a new to this, there isn't loose on the remainder of the one to, to see the window is below starts a different answer. so this is the people who need the context in a long time ago and they wanted to see the status. we've made the 1st bill and then we'll be very fathers. so wanted to be like money i'm looking for so on other countries that they wanted to be a little bit far from the rest of the government. and there is some things happening in the dead. people that don't seem in good fit, lift it with so fast. so these are some of the reasons people are trying to buy them to step down because they're, where's the best way to be behaving is more nothing, the ways that the, that thinking and then and then the way that people don't want to go having has arrested orthodox priest and sees churches and a mass persecution campaign. that's according to the latest report by russian

foreign ministry. for many years, the gave us to ortiz, have been actively pursuing the course in ukraine, so eliminate the can only call you quoting. an orthodox church discriminate against his clergy and persecute, clergyman and believers for this purpose, the country's legislative system is being built the actions of various law enforcement agencies. so being golly, did we have our teeth, marina cups that i have uh, with more details on the report and the international reactions so far? oh, it's so very lane civic for just under assess the pages, viruses, foreign ministry, and really they outline all the examples that we've seen so far. all the key of authorities persecuted members of the ukranian orthodox church and as they see it, this is part of a bigger applying to create a spiritual division between the russians and ukrainian. something that was been traditional and historical for many, many decades,

of course. and prior to the special military operation, the credit and orthodox church was the one that was the most popular one in the country in ukraine. few months after the special military operations began, the ukrainian orthodox church said that we will split from the most go patriarchy because it felt pressure. so even though it did that, there were still raids that we saw from t of authorities and he have special forces on various churches belonging to the you of see across the country. it has several regions, and they claim that they found the russian propaganda russian literature there. and they claim that because they found that, that these churches need to be closed and they even arrested uncharged bishops, for example. and this is all want, that is a list of all these examples in this almost 50 page report. how they seemed monasteries belonging to the yellow sea, the most famous one, the oldest small missouri in russia. and now in present day ukraine,

the key of picturesque love run over a 1000 years old. this was used by the jo. see, they said that they do a lot of early end of the lease agreements, textiles. all the monks and the priests from the air. they charged archbishop hobbled there for religious hatred and justified russia's actions and his fill and pre trial detection, for example. now these are just some of the examples listed in this very lengthy of reports and then also space there how key of authorities, regional authorities. so it goes from the very basic level to high that high power of specialist all involved in creating an inflammation campaign against the u. o. c . and also they less than detail how all that has resulted the night. so vandalism, for example, against churches that moves, but there, there's been silence crickets, no one is saying anything. and of course, if we saw something like this happened in any other country, that would be all over it's, but here we're seeing nothing. and of course,

regarding some more about the silence that were here and let's see an excerpt from this report. the unfortunate saves of problem of canal nicole also the exceeding ukraine is still no time on the priorities of the united nations and all the relevant organizations. there is still no adequate reaction to the anti orthodox policy of the ruling. we dream and key of numerous cases of seizure of real estate and property, and acts of auditory in this in violence against the clergy and believers. today they do one security council is supposed to hold assess, and only ukraine's persecution on the can only can ukrainian orthodox church. and this session was prompt that there was a rush as initiative. so hold that session today, and we're already getting reports that, that you pay is fine to block the speakers who have personal experience of how the key of authorities have been perfect using the u. o. c and its members and parishioners. and we're getting reports from a senior russian diplomats who is there that they are not allowing them to speak.

so this is just another attempt which in the way sort of explains what the russian ministry has been saying and verifies it. let's get back to our top story and cross life to chris landsberg from the university of johannesburg for the reaction on the russia africa summit. welcome mr. landsberg. so so far, $49.00 african delegations have confirmed their participation in the summit. what can we expect from the summit and how vital is the scale of cooperation between russia and africa? and yeah, i, i think the, the factor you see that 49 out of 55 african states will certainly the locations of beam that not all of them will be a head of state level. these is very no frequent uh, soc, africa has been very outspoken about terms by america in

particular and g 7 countries in general who was of the coastal for the african states if they wished to pursue the issue with russian folks. so i think it's, it's, it's very significant. um, what do i expect from the um, from, from the summit when i, i expect the idea of some, a real heavy dribble box to ship with pendulum projects and ideas to discuss. but with standing the that i wouldn't be surprised if the african, these initiatives will also be discussed. and the question will be race. um, what would have to do further to help to bring the war to an end. but

i must say 49 out of 55 is, is surprisingly a large number. even the radicals nature that the us appear to find themselves in the south african prime minister has said that africa is ready to leave. it's neo colonial past. can you expand on that statement and what that means? yeah, absolutely. um, it means a number of things. it means that if there's this, there's this fascinating concept in, in d colonization studies. when you're study colonialism, there's this fascinating concept called low b l, a t. so even though colonialism has in the family, the best, the just and the relations with the colonial pauls, one thing. and what, what is happening with african tradition,

we use even zone the show does pain even discussed for what happened during colonialism. been ties with the colonizers phones, let them jump to less extent. and it really is it that you do? i just mentioned a few americans. that would be that the power for good, but it certainly be and in previous phone that was going to the ledges will continue. and so that's a good particular um for a long time it's international relations continued to be relations with the country. so it had to be about the yes, mainly west and balls, dep solutions with the not the government here. and so there's, there's worked very hard to reach out east woods as well as the south america and

even look them up. and that's what the, what it means symbolically show that direction for the west is not the same crew of relations over the countries relations. but what it means impenetrable drugs. you cannot depend so much. i am one of the wheel, especially a bodily needs rest impulse that believes of condition americans that believes in starting to withhold resources every time the disagreements look at the situation where lady are sure and the important let's some of the off the what is what it means so the expense of relations is what it needs a full dose of also stronger relations. the benefits uh, less restrictive menace, generations,

otherwise you compare these 2 different types of relationships. why do you think the dollar eyes ation trends have been on the rise on the african continent and how do these trends affect cooperation between the confidence and russia and trade and economic sectors? yeah, i suppose you have to say too. i do think that there is room for mess up expansion in the trade relations with russia. i think if there's one thing to rush out as a constraint skipped to east to move for you on the political solidarity of the past and make sure that they are comfortable. benjamin pick the me call total of, of the size of the mode to get to pick the handset. and it's interesting to question about the, the resolution. let me just portion utilization will not happen over the fact that it will happen and he's already have for me is real and effective. so many

countries, assigning up dollarization. it's an a turn break to spend the whole of not just the dollar, but the good money guys with america. i give you an example. we're waiting for the report of lady on different medical do those tensions. what's on ethic, 90 percent, or for box, or how is the american into a lesser extent of the list of guns that they took strongly fucking economically. it is a good states supposed to be the zation because it gives them options . and if it's a babies and give them options, we certainly do great powers to emerge once india and, and result and definitely take them out of the structures of america's economic

square. and they have all of them and give them more freedom of movement. the moment it is empty, ethical also have to get it. so it's also an old african we'll have to make sure that they themselves restrictions will verify in terms of the able val groceries. she just like to go on and say she was going to happen. it seems to be like an african we also have to stop the process of treating one another in each other's guards. this is on the african schools. it's a blessing and a curse. we already have the 2nd something different than customs you do. you have your account is, are cracked. there's all africa grads with the red goes though they saw for the red goose up. you can change the easier to do in southern africa than on the bottom of the reach of well, you mentioned india and brazil. how does breaks add to the concept of a multiple or world south africa is obviously a part of brakes as well. why is there so much interest in breaks and wire so many

countries so vested in joining the organization? yeah, and i think, i think on so many people don't realize that the answer is whatever. lucian started office 4 countries. brick then. so i have to go was invited in 2010, 10 breaks. but if you're just fed, as many of $27.00 countries have shown interest, certainly in joining the bank, mine, gina showed interest in joining the installation of itself. as members, there is nothing in the room you sent them to american the gemini at g 7, a germany. so this notion of the, what's the order i think will come under the severe strain with

expansion happening in more of a so many countries interested in joining precisely because of the lack of all the restrictions of condition boundaries. but the ocean city as the pension, and then just finally to answer your question very directly. why does it mean full of c multi for a multi kaylee? well, what i, i think even threatens the prospect of hello world view. so the push west can probably make a multi their products whether it's the w t o either the world better. g 20. you might, you baby brooks coming and having more than 50 percent of the to be of the world goes to 60 percent of the population of the world. it is

a real fast re record with. i don't think this will only shake all american believe is a unique multiple to me. they the main problem. and of course the, the strategic assessments are very, very explicit. but they want to prevent the rise of other headphones to be china and russia. but really to go go ahead with expansion and i believe it was by to help them by the pin. it's going to be a real for the room. the world order that is west of don't want to good as we go. we're not for the world to play, and if you're lucky to be slight advisors by, we think again, the war 5 years from now will be a fund a bit, a bit from school google. the spics high in the west is worse. chris landsberg,

chair of ask for 10 diplomacy and foreign policy at the university of johannesburg . thank you very much. thank you. the president, pulling his schedule to sit down for talks with the president of new development bank del marissa, she served as the 36 president of brazil and was a former chief of staff for the current brazilian president. we loved the silva earlier president put and how tots, with the opium prime minister, who has arrived in saint petersburg ahead of the russia, africa summit water mirror put in did emphasize that by letter relations between the 2 countries are based on mutual respect. let's listen in the now you were appointed as the had of been you developing bang calls breaks and then based regard, i'd like to mention that in
