we are gambling with the future of all mankind and we're, we're risking it for not the, the, the had to all the break spanks things. there are no obstacles for developing countries to make payments and national power and fees. as president clinton says that the dollar has been used to put political school, south african president, serial around a service adviser and rushed to the eve of his stomach and st. petersburg, we speak with south africa's foreign minister, who stays the confidence must be feeling that the legacy of near colonialism this time uh that all continents 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 resources. sco luxury, south london for preventing a ukrainian freeze from addressing the un security town. so about kids, clocks down all the orthodox church, the able and welcome. this is all to you is a national with the very latest world news update is good to have you with us. i top story on the eve, all the russia, africa summit in some petersburg be addiction. president has praises countries. relations with mosca. during his talks with president putin, at the top of this, the emphasize the importance of biological projects saying that they are bound to take both countries to new levels of progress to 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 bind our country's 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 joins plans for the construction of a nuclear power station. egypt, the egyptian president also mentioned some other plans that the egyptian government is looking forward to is specifically the creation of a 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 to look 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 with 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 indication ends 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 him. meanwhile, in south africa, in preston, serial when messiah is the, has the wrong thing. russia with more african lead is expected to attend the summit, taking all space thursday and the exclusive interview to watch the south african foreign minister and the lady. pandora has stressed that the confidence is moving on from its neo colonial past. and is it a turning point to become a major global power? is a preview of the interview, which you can watching for right now on our website policy 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 in the 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. 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 this 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 most 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 them all. cells develop the ability to be innovative, use partnerships, 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 defenders 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 a 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, 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 moment 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 to chris at long as the coach has applicant diplomacy at the

university of to how does folks i said, africa cannot possibly build healthy relationships with the west, which use his thoughts as his main diplomatic school. 49 all as far as if it goes through the same delegations or be that not all of them will be a head of state level. these is very significant. even though colonialism has and the formerly the best, the just and relations with the colonial pauls. but of course, america is the power of africa, but it certainly be in people's phone that the origins will continue. and so that's a good particular um for a long time it's international relations continued to be relations with the countries who had to be a part the yes,

mainly western balls that solutions with the what the government has. and so there's, there's worked very hard to reach out eastwards as well as to south america. and even the term b as in, that's what the, what it means symbolically show that direction to the west is some of the same author relations over the countries relations. but what it means impenetrable terms, you cannot depend so much. i am one of the wheel, especially a bodily need rest impulse to believe i'm condition americans that believes him struggling to hold resources every time developed disagreements. and then went up to the summit all too well. so i sat down with a number of permanent figures coming up. we speak with south african diplomats. no . my 10 baton by whose parents were a prominent sante upon side activists. i 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 form supporting women leaders around the globe. number 10, the tumble is the daughter of oliver combo and adelaide, combo oliver tambo 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 best limit 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, african problems, not wisdom solutions for african problems. when present around the plaza with was jeff, as, as the age 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 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. the last

day you will be covering the russia as like, as i mentioned, some pages but this week and we'll have all the latest updates for you right here in all the international state. so they stay with us. that the, as the us continues to use brutal sanctions against various countries, these license have started to come together to find a way out asian applicant on latin american states. now looking to join groups like breaks based on co operation organization in hopes of escaping west in economic pressure. many of these countries face comprehensive american functions on the economic and military sectors. according to a us treasury department's report released back in 2021,

9000 individuals and companies had been sanctioned world wide. and in 2022 rush, it became washington's main targets with 2500 entities, including companies on individual sanctions by the us. and even some of washington circled friends have also felt the heavy hand of american restrictions. the latest being india, as took us so that cooperation with russia, political expos, from syria and the wrong told us that bad countries are now seeking to minimize the damage from sanctions. of course, to slide you, ron has faced deeply hostile and live nauseous behavior by the united states. actual life in many forms and practices, including hundreds of sanctions that have been imposed, targeting not totally the space, the garments, but also the ordinary citizen is ends both. there's no small spot of hesitation that these factions have damage the economy. if you do run restaurants,

you 5 and as well on another country. but it's something mats are the same. time is bad. it's paved the way for opening up new brands, new to reject these new approaches for these carts. we've and simultaneously it's late or the nature of us or, and policy for the world. and now you see that you, rod, or in this space has opened a new front in it for you front end as foreign policy. most of the leaders in the world including goods, especially in the south of the world, especially in brakes shanghai organization. they all talk about those sections, such as is not a sign of the 2 nights. this is a very strong county. it's a sign of weakness of united states because if you would like to says, cannot lead a normal diplomacy and cannot find a win win situation with many of the account is in the world. it means that united states as a problems 1st of this delegation,

which holds the un security council preston to see this week has bloke, so ukrainian priest from addressing the walls. both a clergyman has been stripped. toby's ukrainian citizenship and his now being endorsed by most of which was that. and so briefly you went about tips, crocs down on the orthodox church, he's how russia has reacted to london's decisions. he saw it as the priest, but let's cut off, but it sounds good, so suited football and also to exclude you mentioned bog. bishop deal fell under the rank of bridges. censorship had already saw for the officer. she spoke to the members of the security council. last time, she was banned from answering the european union, which by the way, portrays itself as a champion of the freedom of speech and religion. it is, but now they are trying to thoughts of all the bishop give their own from discussions and the security council. the protest against the u. k is attempted to call so far as speaker from participation and the security council, despite the fact that the case of only meets all the criteria that is because it

has the competence on the issue on the agenda, will not speak of the next 118 to do some lessons 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 box 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 that congress should bound the catholic church and see saint patrick's cathedral in new york on the grounds that catholics a baby, the pope, and the rest. one of the cardinal, some of the roman catholic church in the united states or the united kingdom, arrested one of the leaders of the muslim community and of the bridge this fall and discussed a bill to ben this religion in the country. under the pretext that the front of islam are in mac. 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 those that 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, were cited about what russia presented to the council, about the real crimes being committed against the orthodox church and ukraine needs

as the presidential office has confirmed a 2 attendance by the presidential god, i'm concerned report say the nation's leader is trumped in his office, refusing to resign. governmental authorities say that ready to confront the rebels . this 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 instead of the elements of the presidential guard involved in this and rest, if they don't come to their senses. the 2 houses being condemned by regional alliances, such as the african union, who said that they will not tolerate in attendance to over throw democracy in the region. we're supposed have local journalist moved to an homage all a who, bosses details about the on folding situation. i dealt with minnesota so sir, no need to or nearby, especially on the say that the situation is still going through with the

presidential palace. there is nothing coming in or out, but the thing is there is something that is in the solution. actually the prison, i said under god who are threatening to do with it, the and media to 70 piece of the 2nd, the data people assume because the president pressing is not like what she has to do as far as the people don't need to use different things from this, if there's a, this is a person who need it and is coming back to this. i also found out i'm not happy with what he's doing there 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 need to. ready with the glass you want to do, there's nothing coming out of that. i'm leaving the government has submitted this mental facility said monday. see if there has to be this people who are trying to take the file or if they have 2 minutes and they have to kind of do that. otherwise

the national dogs and army will go to been been mendecy basis. but his big electronic, they're supposed to be me, daddy, so i would go to the office. i had also, i'd be selling back the neighboring companies like a need to the citizen lose on the remainder of the one to, to see the window is below starts a different answer. so this says that people who need the contest in a long time ago and they wanted to see the status we've made. the 1st bill will be very probably is. so wanted to be like monday understand if i so on other countries that they wanted to be a little bit far from the 1st part of the living of the government. and there is some things happening in the deb associated in good faith. if with civil fast, so these are some of the reasons if i'm trying to present the system because the president behaving is more nothing the ways that the painting i'm in the front of the world and that's people who just don't want to go out of the mills,

korea has colby arrival of the us, a nuclear submarine, and south korea. a clip provocation film young responded to the move by test launching a power of ballistic missiles into the sea of its coast spoken condemnation from japan, another to american allies in the region such as is so north korea frequently has been repeating, ballistic miss. so flavorings, which are a threat to the peace and stability of not only japan, but also the region and the international society. and it is totally unacceptable. hello and his comment made high to intentions on the korean peninsula, south korea and the us are taking steps to increase that for power is and us. we things north korea's weapons program last week. the us sentence, nuclear submarine, the 1st to arrive in south korea since the 1980s, also last week, private to travis, king of the us armed forces to fix it, to north korea. washington has yet to comments on this issue. wireless now across

at live to the, to direct, so all be into a national action center. sarah flanders. many thanks for joining us on the program . it's very good to see you this evening. now the japanese department, this is reacted strongly to these missile launches. things of this, all the acceptable. how do you think the conflict between north and south korea may affect japan? well, 1st of all, the real missile launches continually unendingly, are coming from the us. and japan is actually part of these missile exercises. these what are called decapitation drills, the war games that are non stop and, and japan knows the us very well know. ready that, that north korea, the democratic people's republic of korea was absolutely flattened in the korean war. just destroyed 4000000 people killed in that war in the us instigated war. so there's

a real history behind this that would make north korea feel particularly threatened because july 27th. it's a 70 is anniversary of the pharmacist agreement. and in 70 years, no history constant on ending rex instead against the korean people of the north and sanctions, devastating sanctions. but parking a nuclear submarine in south korea is the greatest threat of all times. now a new us nuclear. so, which is called a doomsday machine, a global death machine. every one of those nuclear subs carries $24.00 nuclear missiles that could, in one launch, launch each with multiple independently targeted warheads. that's what it is. it is really a death machine. and putting that openly in south korea, inviting that dest machine into south korea directly aimed at north korea, is

a pretty heavy threat. so, north korea has fired a few missiles. yes, to say they will defend themselves of that. but what they face is absolute. tell me, what are your thoughts on the south career decisions you partner with the us on the military issues? a little south korea's decision which comes really from a right wing fanatic of president to ousted the previous president you on is really totally pro us with a right wing party. he has less than 20 percent support among the korean electorate . it was really a us helped maneuver that brought him into office and the 1st thing he did was to escalate the threats on the north and welcome us even more strongly. now us has

been a course of occupation in south korea since the korean, more never from minute where they go on, they introduce nuclear weapons in the past. back in 1958 was a violation of the armistice agreement. and finally, massive, massive demonstration strikes, mass actions force us nuclear weapons out of south coast. in 1991, the re introducing them in the form of these doomsday machine, this nuclear. so to nuclear selves into south korea is a real escalation, a private case. and at the same time to say, oh, we want, we want to negotiations, we want dialogue is a totally drawn. instead there's been an escalation, not only of missiles, but of sanctions on north korea. a sanctions that really bike deeply on the

north economic development and its ability to provide for its population. thank you so much for speaking to us today is great to get your insight into the mazda co director of international auction center. so as long as thank you, of the type of read a full, a us marine who was what east in a prisoner swap and russia last year, it has been injured while fighting for ukraine, even though the u. s. has repeatedly wounded americans against the traffic that we've been very clear about our message to americans. let me just say that we are aware that trevor read was injured while participating and fighting and ukraine. so we're aware of that. but since the beginning of the war, we've been very clear, we have warrant that us citizens who travel to ukraine, especially with the purpose of participating in fighting their that they, they face significant risk. we have said that over and over again for the past, more than 16 months now, including including the real, the real risk of capture or death. so been very clear with americans here in this

country about that. and i also want to be very clear here that mr. reed was not engaging any activities on behalf of the us government. and as a, as i've indicated, the us government has been extraordinarily, extraordinarily explicit and warning americans not to travel to ukraine, let alone participating and fighting their way that was wounded off the stuffing on a land mine roughly 2 weeks ago. that's according to the us military officials. brief on the event. the usa department says that he's now receiving treatment in germany. the ex marine had spent more than 2 years in russian cost of the 4000 a police officer before being released in april 2022 weeks. decisions to find a new crane may make it more difficult for the united states to secure the release of poll wheeler, a cool port security executive on the evan garcia with a wall street journal. reports are still being held by mosca on espionage charges. we suppose the human and labor wise slow it down, cuz i like who says that a small,

surprising for americans to go to 5 for ukraine, especially also the west of media which raise it as the largest cost in the us may find itself in a much more difficult position to argue for a prisoner swan, because russia will point to this one individual and say, why as the one time we did it, the guy went and fought against us. so obviously that's going to take a lot of leverage away from the united states and these negotiations, zalinski and ukraine have been portrayed as safely, almost in the us press and by the us government. and so people appeal to rights is caused by 4 course. and we know that, you know, a number of people have done that had been very disillusioned because they found in fact, that they were fighting alongside not so great people in some cases, a neo nazis. i just read about that case today. in fact, an american mercenary saying that, but in any case, um,

without that experience again, if, if you just trusted your government and what the media said, you think that you were again going to fight or write just cause me. thanks for joining us. hey, on us international web, back with moving 30 minutes. the . well, i have the great privilege on on it to be joined today by dr. now, lady pendle, the foreign minister of south africa. and you know, to have you here in the venice 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 administer panel. i will get to that eventually at some point, but from all of us here at odyssey international for one of us here,

we are so grateful for your time. if you're sitting down 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 i'm very glad the south africa, of course, is being represented here. but why, what are your expectations for this summit? i'm 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 top of a mini is 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. so it's a, you know, relationship a brother and sister of comrades and friend. it is at least to continue that.
