nature and the unique animals that live here. this is the cause of nature reserve where they are cultivating an innovative program to re release levers into the wild bunch on thomas vision and vision. and today we are on the mountain. so process, the east is naturally we cannot agree with the replacement of international law. the cycle hold up based on the rules that some countries themselves declare they themselves constantly change. the address is a round table session during the 2nd day of the russia, african summit in petersburg, emphasizing the content and growing role in the world. as long as it's colon. i'm used with russia on the summit side items are useful to the russian and for a minute if you spoke to someone who is a karuba, about half of the 70,

and the threats with confidence faced from washington. the point there was a lot of pressure applied against african countries by washington. they tried and even threatens them not to work with a russia. they were also personal press. but after if it didn't budge, africa said that it would do what it wanted to do. it on another day 0 and the government in india faces a new confidence vote in parliament over asset classes and the countries northeast . the wife who must go on st. petersburg would cover and have the rushing off for the summit to on all to throughout the day. as well as other top stories for around the world, as always, is great to have your company. on the final day, one of those anticipated photos of the year is in full swing rush after the summit

in 2033. but it's all makes and both an issue the currently being hammered out in the expense of expos for marina is petersburg and al team there is making surely you don't miss a moment, but masses that's give the floor to the mom heading it. mr. royce, the but i thank you very much for that, very nice to insure and i, to all of you. welcome again to continue special coverage of the russia african somebody here in some petersburg is now i just poking just moments after 3 pm here and is probably one of the busiest moments of the day that delegations are over the space. i just wanted to make a quick mention what some of the africans allegations are wearing, that the fashion is right. haven't really seen this before,

but you have these african delegations that will be around and it will teams and they've got some homes or photographers following them in securing that's good, that's good. you gotta take no that pitches for the wearing these long robes with these beautiful hats and, and, and these goals, materials and, and multi colored designs. and, you know, the african delegations of bringing a whole new standard of fashion to some petersburg. so it's great fun and we're really enjoying it here at the venice of the know now old a, a plan area session has been underway here at the summit. participants just so many of them having lots of opportunities to address those in attendance. and many of them just highlighting the importance of well dialogue with strengthening ties and also resolving conflicts. the session i began with a speech by the russian president, i thought he's done a cold. now highlights, flooding or putting caught covered a wide range of topics, but probably the most important point he wanted to bring home was the fact that russia and africa have a common interest in, in securing and ensuring the independence and sovereignty of the multi polar world

. the russian president said that these concepts can not just exist by themselves. they need to be defended. and of course, there's a long list of tasks that need to be under gone for that to take place. but the russian president did go over a couple of them, for example, the fact that international transactions needs to be done and national currencies. and he also said that the united nations need some serious reforms, actually, specifically the security council, which still does not offer any sort of political representation to the african continent. this is something that vladimir put in said was a hold over from the era of western colonialism and that russia is going to continue to support africa as it does now and will in the future. and it's struggle against this kind of neo colonial pressure. we're seeing in the 21st century really he did it for decades. we've consistently provided support in africa as hard struggle against colonialism. unfortunately, some aspects of colonialism has not been eliminated to the states,

and it's still practiced by former colonial powers. he's my sons of africa, family defended an independent pos of development so that people often to the cost of that our lives. these ideas of freedom, independence, sovereignty a very significant even now in the current difficult conditions of international type events. when a trudy multi part of the world order is being formed and the era of hedge and many of one or a group of states is heading into the possibly 2. naturally, we cannot agree with the replacement of international law. recycled order based on the rules that some countries themselves declare. they themselves constantly change . it is not clear as to what these rules are by whom they were created. it is clear that they use by individual countries for their own selfish interest, and they changed them to suit themselves. the main thing is that russia, in africa, united by in the nate designed to defend genuine sovereignty, the rights to the original pomp of development and political, economic, social, cultural end of this phase. now another point that the russian president wanted to

get across, and really another point that this entire russia africa summit really demonstrates is the fact that the applicant content is rapidly developing into a giant world wide political and economic force to be reckoned with. and this is something that russia wants to aid in the process of development. and in the end, right, and the russian presidents said that russia is doing that in many ways already. specifically, in terms of securing the supply of food and agricultural products to the continent from russia, despite all these western sanctions that are making it there quite difficult for russia to do that. but nevertheless, the russian president mentioned that 11500000 tons of russian grain were sent to the african consummate last year. and uh, for the period of 2023 that we've been through so far already, 10000000 tons of russian grain had been shipped to the concert. and so we're definitely going to see before the end of the year, a giant increase from last year. and he also said that russia doesn't only want to

8 in terms of food exports to the continent, but also in terms of humanitarian aid. between 20222023. russia had under gone 11 major humanitarian aid projects in the african continent. then this is something that's going to grow and continue, and going back to that topic of africa growing as a huge political and economic force around the world. the russian president also mentioned that a major indication of this are the large amounts of multinational organizations in africa that are growing and international pry, prominence, and one of them is the african union, which russia says should be part of the g 20 east. the cms timberly and it's designed to be independent defense sovereignty and actively participate in the formation of a multi part of the system based on the equality of states. i'm sure that russia and the african states for the standing solidarity with each other. i would also like to note the before all i use the african continent is becoming

a new sense of power. it's political and economic roles a growing. and everyone will have to reckon with a subjective reality. the initiative of a number of african states to resolve the crating crisis is indicative that because previously any mediation missions with monopolized exclusively by the countries of the cycle developed democracies. now africa is ready to help so of problems that seem to be outside desired. if it's primary interests, the authority of african regional structures is also increased markedly for most the african union as an expression of the opinions and aspirations of the entire macro regional. the russian president also talked about house. russia is continuing to cooperate with the african continent in terms of defense, cooperation to ensure the security of the regional situations on the continent. and also cultural cooperation is another area as well. so a lot of good indications that africa russia cooperation is going down a good road. yeah, we'll see it here in the us international studio. we were talking with us on the

african deputy minister of public enterprises make the old bed. hello. now we discussed a wide range of issues with one of the being that of the differences of south africa and africa itself. working with western professional partners in comparison with those from russia and china. european partners of africa, the american america as well. are they working with africa in the same way that russia and china a working with africa? no, they're not drinking in the same way. and not they come in there to go. i mean, not us. they've done penn, differentiate them. they've done manufactured new car. did they take them to the countries created skills there and then invest in them to be find these goods. and then some of these of them to as, as doubled or tripled, applied. and wed been saying that this minute i was in africa, you know? so the people of the years come in and you guys come in mind them,

but there must be present, is that the payments so that we can then develop good faithful data if it was. and that's, it didn't mean that us, that they even put them in the law is that no one wouldn't take, doesn't mean that as in africa. and it's only for the app. and if you and the cut about and the of those that we use for the that does ride, we really for, for jazz are at a place that lots of your, in the democrats get if i give up co go in that region. right. that a lot of them does put. busy in the, not just a cut board would never be met made or belive you said that didn't have those relationships. i imposing those relationships, not for those of relationships or projects in this real world or that that just might support lots and respecting ever but so africa is rising to that challenge. i do hope therefore that that relationship will then have to all i need done. i've got mazda then, have that public to say, nope. and, but actually on the one hand,

never called on noticed anybody in africa, and therefore it's coming in on a win win situation. i invest fund, i also have how are you a give us goes and i also will money center in red country and that, that, that be able to manufacture. and so i'm not able was to manufacture invite, you know, on that then happens, you know, i've had to then we can do those, then develop the skills so that they can spend on their own. and in that way is, and we got a relationship off emoji part of that one. yeah. some really strong comments that from mr. tyler, he was great to have them here at our studio here. the somebody is in petersburg. got, wasn't just him though. i misled rushes far and administrative spokesman murray is a hot of a. she took some time during happy to schedule to sit down with us as well. we uh, as you can imagine, discussed the numerous topics including uh, what some cool the west colonial is policies towards africa. and what the future looks like today. i'm gonna listen to that. you said something to the effects,

told european country the color noises have become the colony episode, or i'm sorry. can you, can you explain that for me? uh question but sure so, but i thank you for pointing that out in noticing my thoughts. i'm absolutely convinced that it is true because we see all the indicators of the west was formed as a community of countries that traditionally held the monopoly and they were the ones who ran colonies, friends, headquarters in africa. the u. k. had fallen is in asia mostly such as india or south east asia, spain, porch or go to the netherlands. what well, the united states. they never really had big colonies, but they were into slave trade. they exploded people they bought and sold people, and they basically controlled the land that belonged to the

native americans. and they also treated the states around them as colonies. so the west for centuries was formed around this idea that they are exclusive because they have the power because they are the strong ones. so they can take advantage of because they have that power. they don't need to justify their actions. they need to be can just reap the benefits of their aggressive exploration of the planet. that was their collective logical. it became their collective logic. and it is amazing that in the 21st century, their former colonies in africa, asia, and latin america became not just independent sovereign states with their national symbols and borders. and they became members of the native nations,

but they became in defended be, cause they make solver and independent decisions in their countries. in the recent year and a half, there was a lot of pressure applied against african countries by washington. they tried and even threatened them not to work with russia up, and they tried to work through the i mouse and they threatened that they with withdrawal investments. they were also personal threats, but africa didn't budge. africa said that it would do what it wanted to do and it will decide who to work with and africa knows a rush, this historic role. and the role of the soviet union in all was the role that the west played in africa, the soviet union 11 to be hide plants, infrastructure energy. and it just left with all that, a 2 african countries to use as the a sausage or as the west,

only took the things, the resources of slaves. it took the future of the continent. and of course, they remember all that. so they strive for their independence. and so what happened to former colonizers the countries of the european union, they lost their sovereignty, they lost their independence. they now report to washington in the united kingdom because london and washington are basically united amanew france. so they lost their independence and they became colonies. they are calling is of the united states of america. they even have a name for this community of call and is this called late. so it's not the europe being unions, nato, and this community of colonies commonwealth of colonies, wants to grow. the united sense, wants to see more colonies in that community. if they are not satisfied with europe, they are looking at asia and other global regions and everybody sees and

understands that. so it's not just a figure of speech, not just like some metaphor, it's a real fact and we see that that is true. yeah. can you imagine, let me talk about some blunt statements from or is a hot of, i mean, honestly took up out straight. sure thing. well, honestly hosted its own uh session on digital technology is to discuss media, cooperation between the russia and africa. a tunnel also organized participation in the summit of african john list and media reps as well as this send. and so from one of the african lead is now the last year announced the creation of it. get this a ton african form of antique colonial heritage. basically focusing on preserving the history and culture of africa, solving issues and what promoting social and economic development as well as speaking of relatives, divide clinic names that we've been getting a number of a key interviews here at the summit, including the daughter of anti apartheid activist all of

a tom both also the granddaughter of the full about south african president nelson, non data, a lot of a well, she was a straight shoot and going on with the comments where you can watch the sit down is on your own time at all t dot com now the best of the at large or the head of the secretary of the russia, africa partnership for my own. i also don't know if he was joining me here. he believes the number of delegation is attending. the forum basically shows that russia, at the end of the day, has not been isolated from it. so somebody else the summit took place. most african countries have send representatives at both the highest and many serial levels g. i would like to say that there is evidence that russia isn't demands in the world, if 50 delegations came to us in a difficult period for our country when it is subject to all possible sanctions. from the point of view, west impalas, russia should have surrendered, capitulated and collapse long ago. if i were all west and partners,

i would refrain from trying to put pressure on that for can states so that they stop developing relations with russia, russia, billy, such use concept productive and do not lead to anything they hold, you know, for a 2nd so much with the participation of the overwhelming majority of representatives, all 5 frequencies it consumes this view as we will. the result that we have today's the results of the thesis. strong goal of the west against the wall shock, and it gains the interest of the african states. if at all possible methods of press sell a mass judge from the most primitive, when the diplomats bypass the embassy. so 5 for can states demanding that they stop relations with russia. but you see that all these did not impact the results in all precedents has already said that it is cheapest to expect african states to sacrifice the national interest for the sake of the desirable devices. they came here with very specific goals, the developments of their own countries,

and they see both sides are reliable partners that can provide is potential in various fields to be part of the dns. because at the end of the day, multi polarity is here. now we've got the african delegations here representing of the african continent here at st. petersburg. but next month in south africa will be the bricks summit and the bricks. members of brazil, russia, india, china, south africa, is blowing up now to possibly 40 more countries. the multi polar world is here is absolutely here and as prudent as reaching things that a few months ago and must go we are old witnessing now. the biggest change was happening in 100 years. how special coverage were tons in just about the

yeah. raleigh city say that for us covering the rush after the summit in saint petersburg will head back that throughout the day. but now this, when you the latest interaction, you didn't get a vote of no confidence because the rend remote is government is that we have another country is problem. it's being cold by the main of physician alliance, which says the prime minister has failed to deal with the elated estimate, the motivated violence and the eastern states money for. i'll tell you that runs and shut off picks up. the stuff of the opposition has moved a no confidence motion against the move the government over while and in money for this is going to give the opposition a chance to corner the more the government in the india and fall on the to what is no confidence notion, it is basically meant to test whether the government of the deep enjoy the majority of the house has football them to democracy. and

a government can only see bob board each come on. the majority of this is the 2nd time that the more the government listen more, the insights of the self will be facing the know concept them's motion. the 1st one was in 2018, which we want to explode, say extremely likely that he's going to bring this want of. what is it since he's government b, j b? has the numbers in the lower house, which is the notes of our though motion husbands often. the no 1st motion, in fact, has been built in by congress's gordo go bay, and it hasn't been accepted by this. the color of the house, an officer who's once the secret accepts this, it has to, they have to setting the deed and dine with the 10 days. what that means is that the nor confidence motion in the indian solomon is very likely to come in the coming be. but very, very unlikely that mr. maurice government was going to the news. there's no

confidence motion or this motion would be bossed for the position. so use that, their notion vista, we need it or the need to make the government through its numbers or it's majority which they to you only have what it so sweet egypt will explode. say that this move is basically to embarrass the government. now me is when the vitamins top rated ones talk to the people that he's the 130 people have been killed so far around 60000 or people have been displeased. she will not. i'm not able to go back to school things. i'm not, nor will in money for even now, and this is what the opposition wants to highlight. in fact, all the d of the motion, the opposite, who will hold the bead that we spoke with indian is soaring, cap to come on. man. he doesn't believe the opposition has the support to get is no confidence button 3, a signal for the that is that the nope on religion,

the motion with more strand because they don't have the numbers gone. defeated in any way, and don't even hop in any way. so the idea is to solve the problem and comprising any laws in the greenville. janelle are really going to be discussed before the board. we do that for an example in the store level one demand. and a lot is happening in india, you know, because we have many external sources as well. now what do we do in many came to see the movie bowman did this drawing using the kind of the operation i think is doing its own grandfather because on says dv shoes. and the big operations selected the only the people of india, the electric, and is very, you know, absorbing job. and i'm thinking of just what degree has become very clear to them. you do is that the development of the nation and the carrier bicycle carrier,

they're able to link through each of those falls the measures a to all designed to cripple the russian a. kimberly last year the g 7 group of nations announced a price cap on russian crude. however, the oil from other countries currently trading over the declared $16.00 a barrel payment limit and washington is expected to remind the trading fund and ship designed tanka and as all the rules of its game ought to contribute the original mazda and gives us. i'd take a g 7 in the european union implemented a price cap of $60.00 a barrel on the price of russian oil. they did this last december, and it's not like the west could make the entire world dental as well and dictate how much of a rush it would be able to charge for its oil. i mean, just try waltzing into a store and trying that with the owner. but okay,

sounds good. the country's figures at their own efforts would be sufficient to deprive russian president vladimir putin of spending money and that this would ultimately help ukraine. so how is that working out so far? thoroughly, not that great. according to the western press, russian not to victory in the fight for influence over global oil markets in recent days, when the price of the country's most coveted crew traded above a western price cap imposed to start moscow funds for the war and ukraine. a barrel of heroes crew traded at $38.00 on march 20th its lowest level since the start of the war. and ukraine compared with $71.00 for a barrel of rent that day. but on thursday, a barrel of year old crude traded at nearly $64.00 to print $81.00. that's a 48 percent reduction in the gap between the 2 western dallas are now qualifying the fact that russia has pierced its price cap of $60.00 a barrel. as evidence of the price cap strategy is diminishing returns. apparently they either forgot in the west or simply ignored that ross was

a key player in opec plus which sets global oil prices and can dial down supply to boost revenues. and i guess it slipped their mind that russia can also offset a reduction in sales to the west by diverting that supply elsewhere, notably to china and india, which the you tried and failed to get to sign onto the price gap. and it's a good thing to since otherwise, china in india cannot serve to bonder russian oil for the west. the e u. most of the 7 and australia have band are limited in ports of russian crude oil and oil products. leading to a cig is a console in russia's oil prices and export revenues. however, these price cop coalition countries have increased in parts of refined oil products from countries that have become the largest importers of russian crude. this is a major loophole that can undermine the impact of the sanctions on russia. even the suppose the primary beneficiary of this price taps ukrainian president virus

zalinski called it week and not serious. oh, the west was doing all this for him and his country. any sounds like a guy who says a state back to the kitchen every time he eats out. who is he actually wanted an even lower price kept though, which would have been an even bigger and much more spectacular disaster at this point, which is kind of a specialty at this point. but for us treasury secretary steven mediation also said even before the price tax implementation, that it was quote, not feasible, and the quote, most ridiculous idea i've ever heard. so now what, what are they going to do now? what's plan be? well, the, by the ministration apparently wants to start harassing the ships carrying the oil, their owners, shipping insures penetrating houses just to make sure they're, you know, sticking to the price caps or else what are they going to be put in jail?

well, yeah, that's pretty much what washington does when it uses the long arm of american justice to go after for an entities not abiding by washington's economic playbook. individuals or companies who is age. avoid a violate the cab could face civil or criminal enforcement actions including fires and we will work with other countries to share information about evasion. but 1st, us officials are reportedly going to have a little word with them. just a polite reminder, so called soft tactics, which totally is a threatening at all to feel of the us treasury department breathing down your neck if you're part of the global ship. it is history. actually, it's exactly the kind of western pressure that russian foreign affairs minister search, elaborate off cited as detrimental to getting brushing grain out under the now defunct black sea grain deal concerns that were totally dismissed by the west split

. they didn't even exist, but now the u. s is pretty much emitting to using it as an actual strategy against russian. while the russian defense industry has said a ukrainian drew an attack on the most good region has been prevented at. defense is intercepted, the unit and the the, the hours of friday, and no casualties or damage reported. meanwhile, the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh has claimed washington had a hand and both times on the climbing bridge, including earlier this month, whenever remotely controlled c designated under the crossing, killed 2 people, and left a go off and a to bind administrations role. and both the tax was vital. of course it was our technology, one american official told me the drone was remotely guided in half submerged like a torpedo. i asked if there was any thought before the bridge attack about the

possibility of retaliation. what we're putting do, we don't think that far, the official said, our national strategy is that zelinski can do whatever he wants to do. there's no adult supervision. the report also quotes intelligence, community members as saying that they feel that the by the administration is basically under this time of the landscape. and so once you have some leverage over the, by the ministration, not simply because of the corruption regarding by and so on. and the, the natural gas company, but uh further more information that the, uh, the ones, the government may have on buying and forcing him to give them a blank check to do whatever they want. now, the report goes on to say that at this point, the balance of power in the war is settled that ukraine will not be taking back the don bass of loss. and furthermore, it will not be taking bad crime. mia.
