the to vision of creating a kind of city all the hill on the the, the head, all the work. spank say is there were no obstacles for developing countries to make payments. and national currencies, as president contains stress, is that the dollar is being used as a political tool. south african press been serial. velma supposed to arrives in russia on the eve of the stomach and some pages both ways make with south africa. it's foreign minister who stays the continents, must move beyond its legacy of neo colonialism. it's this time uh that all continent realize that it has the possibility of being an extremely powerful parts of the world. and we need to be formally in control of our own capabilities.

our resources are sco lashes out at london, full, preventing a ukrainian priest from addressing the un security council about keeps crunched down on the open oaks chat, the 11 pm here in moscow. and this is on the international with the latest. well, the thing is that they just good to happy with him. on the eve of the russia, africa summit in st. petersburg, the adoption president has praised his country's relations with most go. during his talks with president putin out the fonts, i also see emphasized the importance of biological projects, saying that they are bound to take both countries to new levels of progress that we intend to take our relations to the horizons that we deserve. and of course, as you noted, mister president, the fundamental project of our cooperation is the el de bon nuclear power plant.

another point is the creation of a russian industrial zone. allow me mister presidents to note this special nature of our relations that binds our countries. i'm here at the constantinople palace in saint petersburg, where vladimir put in just wrapped up a number of high level meetings with leaders of the multi polar world. the most recent one was with the egyptian president, and the 2 leaders discussed joined plans for the construction of a nuclear power station. egypt. the egyptian president also mentioned some other plans that the exemption government is looking forward to is specifically the creation of russian industrial zone in the country. and he also talked about a number of other plans that he'd like to talk more in detail with the russian president in close talks. now vladimir putin also met with the head of the new development bank, which is the multinational development bank, connected to the bricks organization. and vladimir putin talked

a lot about how this organization is really going to be at the forefront of economic development for the multi polar world. and he said it's needed now more than ever, especially when the united states is trying to use the dollar as an economic weapon into these conditions. this is not easy to do. i mean, what is happening in the world of finance or other use of the dollar? he's an instrument of political struggle. the members of organization breaks. they're not friends against anyone. they work in each other's interest, the prime minister of ethiopia, and he welcomed him to russia and also said that he's looking forward to continue the long history of warm relations between russia in ethiopia that really go all the way back to when ethiopia became the 1st country on the african continent to establish official diplomatic relations with russia. the russian president went over a number of indications on how this partnership is deepening between the 2 countries . like the fact that trade turn over between the 2 countries has grown by 56

percent since last year. and russia is also working to increase the quotas for students who are looking to study in the russian federation from ethiopia each year . so that's basically a run down of these talks at bottom. you're putting this had with high level officials from the multi polar world. and based on what was discussed, it looks like a lot is set to come out from the meanwhile, south africa and presidents 0 around the 3rd is a, has arrived in russia with more african leaders expected to attend the summit. taking off at this thursday and an exclusive interview, tomorrow at the south african foreign minister and the lady pandora. his dress for the confidence is moving on from his neo colonial past. and is it a turn important to become a matrix? global power is a preview of her interview, which you can watch in full right now on our website, dot com. 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 in 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 it 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 for more in control of our own capabilities, our resources, and wish to management 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 this to sized to a level that they become a battery. yeah. a to trait. so having a 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 got. and we have to have fed trade prop of 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, says that fact pulses. now, um, i think that, you know, the world is not 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. of course,

long as the page has asked look and diplomacy at the university of janice bug, say the national guard cannot possibly build healthy relationships with the west, which uses to its its main diplomatic tool. 49, all, as far as an african states, the secondary cations all being that, not all of them will be a head of state level. these is very significant. even though colonialism has in the family, the best, the just. and the relations with the colonial pauls, one thing, but of course america is that would be the power for good, but it certainly be. and in previous phone, the business will continue. and so that's a good particular um for a long time its international relations continued to be relations with the countries who had to be a part the yes. namely,

weston balls. that's relations vivia, the government here. and so therefore there's work very hard to reach out eastwards as well as to south america and even the term. and that's what the, what it means symbolically show that the election for the west is about the same author relations of the countries relations. but what it means impenetrable terms, you cannot depend so much on one side of the wheel, especially a bodily needs rest impulse that leads and condition americans that believes him struggling to withhold resources every time the disagreements. and they went up to the summit to auntie, also sat down with a number of permanent figures coming up. we speak with south african diploma to name a 10 baton by whose parents were opponents until pop type activists is no

more time to time though, is a prominent south african diplomat who served in european countries such as italy, malta, and albania. num attempt combo is a member of the international women's form, supporting women leaders around the globe. number 10 baton boat is the daughter of oliver combo and adelaide, combo oliver combo 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. tom both served as a member of the country's parliament for 5 years. the interest of each country is

for the best moment of best 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 for african problems, not wisdom solutions for african problems. when a present around the plaza was, was jeff, as, as the, they did a wonderful change agreement which is continental based. and that allows us to treat with each other without all the 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 movement, some 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 as a witness. coals be tougher and be russia, africa summit in some pages this week. and we'll have all the latest updates for you. facing the course of this delegation which holds the un security council presidency this month, have block. so your crating and priest from addressing the world for the clergyman has been stripped off his ukrainian citizenship and is now being endorsed by most so. which one seems a brief that you went about kids clock sound on the orthodox church? here's how russia has reacted to london's decisions to silence the priest. but it sounds good, so suitable and also to exclude you men of bishop good deal fell under the rank of

bridges. censorship, who had already suffered up to she spoke to the members of the security council last time. she was banned from entering the european union, which by the way, portrays itself as a champion of freedom of speech and religion. now they are trying to console fog bishop get their own from discussions and the security council in protest against the case attempt to call so far as speaker from participation and the security council. despite the fact that to keep it fully meets all the criteria, that is it has the competence on the issue on the agenda. we will not speak at the next meeting. unless of this to the, the united nations security council met to discuss the issue of the persecution of the orthodox church in ukraine. now russia presented quite a bit of evidence and facts about what is taking place. and the only response of the western countries was to accuse russia of russia. now a 50 page report has been presented by russia. documenting all kinds of crimes

against the russian orthodox church and against the orthodox church in ukraine. crime, such as the confiscation church property, the arresting of clergy, etc. however, the western countries seem unconcerned about it and simply focus on demonizing, russia. here's what the russian deputy ambassador had to say before the council, on the phone with each of them up to you as well. no equivalence to such a cynical act and more than history. how do you know it just states, for example, react. if the president of the united states suggested the call invested band, the catholic church and see saint patrick's cathedral in new york on the ground that the catholics of bay, the pope, and the rest. one of the cardinal, some of the roman catholic church in the united states, or the, you know, it took into them, arrested one of the leaders of the muslim community and of the bridge this fall. and then discuss the bill to ben this religion and the country under the pretext that they're trying stuff as well. are in that, can medina, is it difficult for you to imagine such a picture? it's difficult for us to. it looks more like a bolt of a science fiction movie,

but unfortunately in ukraine, this scary movie with the calling events of western sponsor. so the key of regime is becoming a reality before i some of these same western powers that frequently talk about religious freedom and accused countries. they don't like of violating the rights of religious minorities. we're excited about what russia presented to the council, about the real crimes being committed against the orthodox church and ukraine. so what's the most of the 2nd part of the un security council amazing go, which was focused on humanitarian issues? sure, well the issue discussed was the black sea grain deal, and that's a deal that russia had to pull out of because western hours were not fulfilling their end of the bargain. they were not up lifting sanctions in the proper way and allowing the deal to go through um, now when the issue of the black sea grain deal and the food crisis resulting when that was addressed,

we've heard the western powers accuse russia of military rising. the black sea, but then a recent statement from nato indicates where the militarization of the black sea seems to be coming from. this is what nato admits it is currently engaging in. nato and allies are stepping up surveillance and reconnaissance in the block c region, including with maritime patrol, aircraft, and drones. now russia also pointed out that while the blacks, the grain deal was in effect, the bulk of the grain was not going to african countries, but rather to certain european countries that were the real beneficiaries of the deal. we can now pause live it who rushes, a fast deputy ambassador to the un dimitry party ascii, who represented months ago at this particular security council meeting. a very welcome to you. really appreciate your time of festival, this money. okay, why do you think the presiding you take delegation in the security council has prevented a ukrainian orthodox priest from addressing them at this?

do you think there's something specific they might not want him to say that as well . i think they were simply afraid they were afraid of this man. they were afraid of the facts that shields the sides of his own personal experience of persecution uh by you creating your mouse or it is and she was expelled from ukraine. she was deprived. the great, yes it is a citizenship, i think is equal to really deliver some. and i'm and number of very awkward to fax or for the full day for the presidency. that's why they decided to just to use procedural uh, procedural ways to block these participation. i think i devoted my 1st statement to the situation. if i may just collect political before i have it there on up to my appearance, the 2nd meeting was not due to the black sea green initiative. in fact, it was cold. as a result of it, as it is,

their reaction to alleged depression strikes on the 14th for structure. so it was a different agenda item, and it was not to go to to lexi green initiative, the one on black c green initiative. and we've had that i think on friday, and many things to correcting that for us. now as we know, the west times to be a beacon of human rights, how do you feel that that correlates with these failures to condemn, keeps persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church it's, it's difficult to really to see how it's going science and the to, to, to connect old adults because of the one thing is what they are really announcing, claiming the other thing is how they are reacting to blade some facts. in fact, during this meeting, they were pretending that russia hasn't said anything important. and that the only purpose of this meeting was kind of to, to re focus attention from what they call a russian regression. and you create this is a very well known tactics. and so they just tried not to look to see what's really

happening on the ground in ukraine. and under the pretext that for us is using this meeting meetings for alleged propaganda. they simply do not catch up on the subject . so if they meet you soon, but this is very reasonable, that they are simply, they seem to have nothing to say and they want to, to, to shields that brought. this is the key from, that's why they just don't want to dwell into detail. excellent discussion on these issues in the way they were supposed to do moving on to the greenville. now if we may understand that you've recently stated several conditions, but most of us, but full in order to when you is participation in the black sea. great initiative, can you tell us more about these conditions and, and what is the biggest priority for russia on this martha as well, we were waiting for a minimum of one year. exactly. uh, after half a year of the so green deal was we will be so do you, we should embrace this to parts. you know, one part is, let's see,

during the initiative and other parties memorandum between the russian, the, on the deliveries to the world markets. so for russian uh, food stuff, so green and fertilizers. so we were drawing attention of the you and the others. the 2nd part is not being implemented, despite the fact that uh, the in reality and the significance of russian fertilizers. so freshman green is much more important than the significance of the cranium grain, which takes less percentage of the world markets. and as you rightly showed to that the going, the, the green from ukraine, the freedom of, of the, of the black sea green deal was not going to the countries we sure initially claim to be the primary destination for the countries they need. so in fact, the police deal was already labeled very easily from

a few minute there in the initiative to a commercial in each nation. so i as in fact laid out several conditions that are necessary for us to re enter the the do you 1st of course it's the practical and, and not feel radical theoretical situation of the russian supplies of the green and the 50 lars is that that they are not the sanction so, so far there are promises that they are the differentials will not apply to them and formally, uh, yes to it. so like i said, i see that there are no uh, sanctions applied to these uh, green and fertilizers. but in reality, we cons, supply them uh to the world markets because of other factors. one of the factors is the financial transactions. so there shouldn't be the deal. the agreements to worries until receive to reconnect with sweets,

operation banks for dealing with the exports of fertilizers. uh there is also an issue of spare parts for the cultural machinery. a asked for such a large the production industry. because now the, we don't have the spare parts and effects our capacity to produce these things. and production of these things of these products is info is important for, for the fall of the world. the question of freights for logistics is also something that should be tackled because now the crate is very expensive and our produces are losing much money because of the some of these, this is not sustainable for us. well, we the so say about the, the pipelines, the, the, the, uh, i'm wondering if i plan to tell you this, you know, that it was mentioned in the text in the text of our memorandum uh, but uh, in fact, it was not only free lunch,

but tomorrow tomorrow which was blown up and this is something that we will not so which operates. we also speak speak about russian financial resources that should be, uh, the not sure it should not be frozen in the west or sources that are linked to every cultural sector. and of course, what's, what's also very important sense. so i think it's so the cornerstone of everything . so the degree the should be money theory and it should should make, it should make the situation in the countries in needs better and lots make or each countries even more even mortgage. so this is more or less what i, what i said, do you want to give the meeting? and i think that so if, if these conditions are implemented that we can reconsider our approach to the solution to take a moment. i mean, we've seen in recent days how ukraine has used the black c humanitarian card or to defend his thrones to attack crimea several times. what's we'll take,

hold on why the international community is turned to blowing di to this violation of the grand deal in failed to condemn key of fort functions. that's what's the way of drawing attention to during the security council meeting. we're saying that there are clear indications that ukraine was uh, uh, was abusing effects of the the green initiative. and we also see these, the groups of these right now, uh when we, uh, when we were making those type of decisions strikes on the, on of this. so on other boards. and it is quite clear that the donation so that we, we know some of these strikes show that until the, under the guise of the black sea initiative, ukraine was in fact uh, placing, i mean, nation and machinery and military equipment in the areas where it shows and took place, so these things, so they just wanted to make them to, to keep them safe for them mainly to need some of the guys of let's see,

initiative. and that's also a clear violation on black. see, and you should see if i pointed out these to the when i was speaking with, did you want to list the officer up to the security council meeting and these are of course so very, very awkward. so effect, so for uh, for our, for my west and partners and they do what they usually do in such situations. they just try to ignore these claims and promotes uh, they are all narrative never causing the, the foreign hands in the ukraine. conflicts who have specifically said that the us is over stepping o moral boundaries by supplying cluster munitions to craig us off the of the russian. a journalist, the steve loved shadlee off was recently killed by ukrainian showing with the use of close to bones that's according to russians, defense ministry. what exactly does the supply of such munitions mean in terms of how the conflicts is escalating? as well as i hook the assessments from my defense industry

that it will not be a game changer of the conflict. in fact, the situation was prompted by the problems of the united states of short to show up, well traditionally additional meat and munitions for artillery. so additional shelves, that's why they weren't, they started to provide the less than munition so, so i don't think it will really affects very much the situation on the ground. so the military situation, but the each we left of course, the very devastating for, for you. great. and for you creating and souls as we all know that there are quite big and considerable proportion of the munitions that remain in the ground. and they are, in fact children and so into land mines and they can be in the ground for many, many years, presenting, presenting leaks danger for, for those who leave there. so i think that that was a what i was meaning by saying that to us as all across the old immortal ground

sounds. we know that a lot of allies of the washington even elyse, where i'm very reluctant to support this means many of them criticized. it's, i'm to say that so this is something that they don't, they don't support. so it shows that in their desire to save the crumbling p 3 g, my single united states, is there any to, to you to use anything. so i need to any crime against humanity and of course supplying all these cluster. munitions, exactly are clear example of these, but they, even off of the west, a great supply and ukraine with depleted uranium shells in cluster munitions, camps, troops, according to versa, side of still failed to make any significant progress on the battlefield. some of the western sponsors are now starting to sound disappointed in the the progress they're making. do you think they're likely to revise their approach to funding ukraine's war machine any time soon? the it is very difficult for me to get in their heads because they do

a lot of things that to not seem logical uh for me. so i think that the really are large uh too much on the supplies of a weapon. sams, i mean nation to key for g, ma'am, they were hoping that it will be a game changer that keeps losing, will be able to defeats russia, which is a, for some illusion. and these, all these attempts absolutely few tile. it's absolutely clear to any and you, serious uh, i'm biased, the observer so i really don't know what the comments on. as far as i understand the military situation is very, i'm favorable for 4 key for the g, ma'am. they have being pressed. so kind of use all the reserves that they have for the continuation of these absolutely disasters counter offensive that they haven't been waging from from june. now there are a lot of a lot of types of the plan necessary victims of such approach of these and ask you

to dream. but to us on this i lies. i absolutely don't care about you creating yours. they are ready to fly. it's on to the last to create. i don't know what, what, that's what moment. so they will decide maybe to, to, to dump ukraine to, to throw it under the bus and walter to strategist, and they don't have a crystal ball. you tell me the details about the into i don't see any logic in what they are doing. they're just betting so much on the military potential or for can you please e mail, which has been significantly, we come to by russia and let's see everybody. almost all experts acknowledge that this is the reality of the us decision to supply plus the funds to ukraine has exposed to a risk among nathan members because some officials and in some european countries have spoken, navigating, sending such weapons to key if, what's your assessment? all this for when it comes to the unity of the us led to block and it's strategy on ukraine. i mean, listen, i don't think that we need to really concentrate on these things. so we know that

the blog in favor of you cream is not united. we know we know that many countries are really criticizing this idea of giving a blank check to, to key if uh for all the crimes. uh that the company itself. so for all the actions, a lot of them uh, voice uh, preoccupation about the face of the weapons uh, delivered. so to ukraine. uh, there are a lot of indications that these, these weapons are small, little towns are being used elsewhere. so there are a lot of use, but it's up to these coalition to decide how they will face inevitable defeats over off key for your team, how they will say it will change that you and that's what moment. so it's up to them to do it. so what, what is necessary for us is to concentrate on our, our problems on our military strategy and our military campaign. the special needs are reputation against ukraine to him.
