been engaged in discussions we've spoken and have had conversations today. we have offered our things and we have spoken about the longstanding relationship between our countries and russia, has been in africa for decades lives. and we know that it is during the most difficult times when you know who your true friends are. and russia stood with us during the most difficult times during the times of slavery. and during the times of apartheid, russia has always been helping us. it was one of the 1st countries to provide us help with finding the gets colonialism of apartheid and slavery from. so for many centuries, we've had good relations and i think these relations are going to develop. but this is the time to get a new impetus to our relations. just going to strive forward. we export our raw materials and these raw materials after having been processed, get back to our countries and we have to pay more for that. all the, we know that russia can help us with addressing this issue that russia has expressed its willingness in that regard and rushes already doing that in our referred for the process of industrialization to agriculture,

all the energy. so i reiterate, i think our success is assured, and we are satisfied with the outcomes of these meetings. we live in a unified world in the venture connected world. so what we advocate is nafrica being part of the organizations that make the decisions. so we live in a multi polar world to do about the, to the program for legend. how i like to learn more about exactly what kind of comments were being made. all these don't know quoted now joining us here. of course, i don't know, you've been a all over this russia africa summit here in st. petersburg. in fact, you really being on the front lines and i know that you've, you've probably got some very good stories to tell whether or not you're allowed to tell them. well, that's to be the tell them and what are some of the takeaways and real president putin. but also the head of the african union had to say, such a short time ago over a vladimir put and opened up his statements alongside the african union leader by saying that he was impressed by how productive the talks at this year's russia,

africa summit have been he said that the african continent has shown great interest in continuing to develop warm relations and trade turned over between the african continent and the russian federation. and that's really demonstrated by the fact that the vast majority of countries on the african continent participated in this summit in this to day summit that's been taking place here in saint petersburg. now, he also talked about a number of spears in which the of the african continent and the russian federation are looking to further development in the future. specifically focusing on the struggle against terrorism on the african continent as well as cooperating in humanitarian areas as well. and he said that one of the main vehicles that is going to be used in further developing this kind of cooperation is going to be the african union. this multinational african organization through which a lot of humanitarian worked and trade deals can be done. and of course,

one of the biggest subjects when it comes to trade deals is russian export of rain . so the confidence which russia is trying to increase and has increased over the last year despite western sanctions that have been making it quite difficult. and the russian president also wanted to say, he also said that these international transactions for the expansion of the multiple or world have to be made in national currencies. let's take a list. nobody said it's so fear the catch is coming that you can interested in that. i think the target is 2 quantities visually and quantitatively increasing mutual trade then improve its structure, which we're also talking about consistently switching to national currencies including durable and financial settlements, eliminate trade barriers including by linking integration processes within the region, economic union and the effort and union and it's free trade area to, to increase expos to half ago russian industrial products, which enjoy a good reputation on the continent, including machinery. we've been, vehicles,

chemicals and fertilizers, are comfortable, continued to supply crops, store after been friends, both on a contract basis and free of charge. so there's a work, it is some and continues. but even now, i would like to thank all our african colleagues for accepting our invitation to go to st. petersburg and that russia is sincerely trying to build truly strategic. remove the faceted relations and partnership with africa. and we see the same attitude to act together on the part about african friends. a good certainly of course, like i mentioned earlier, grain has been a big topic of discussion and that's been discussed throughout the russia, africa summit this year. but it's so important to understand that there are so many other spheres of cooperation that are rapidly developing as well. and the russian president also briefly went over a number of them, like the spirit culture of the spirit of health care. because russia has been doing a lot for her to help the african confident come back the potential spread of epidemics as well. and what am i putting you even said that they have

a number of documents lined up to a significant lee increased industrial cooperation and energy cooperation between the russian consummate of the russian federation and the african. consummate done on top of that. of course, one of the another sphere of cooperation is education. this is something that not only vladimir put and has been talking about, but russian officials throughout this time in the fact that russia is always open to african students looking to come to the russian federation to learn new skills to benefit from russian expertise and all sorts of areas so that they can bring that expertise back to their home countries and makes them a better place and, and builds their future essentially. so there's so much going on right now as we saw from the russia, africa summit in terms of developing cooperation between these 2 countries that you are between the consummate and the russian federation. it's really going to be amazing to see what have for cuz going to look like in the next say, 10 or 20 years. yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. so,

and i think that's perfectly well said, i appreciate your coverage here for the past couple of days off this, russia, i forgot conference in and you're absolutely right. appreciate it on thank you very much for that. as don was saying, are the presidents of all these african nations, and of course, the president of russia, they've all been very optimistic and very positive about this a 2 day conference here in st. petersburg. let's listen in on here. some of the comment it focusing to shifted the african african people shouldn't be pop ups. we need to ensure the self sufficiency of our people and countries wanted to know the b rush. it has always respected our sovereignty. the prince countries, our hope for us, they will help to fight western domination, not a part of the because they disagree with it, and it is important to inform the security council to reduce the in equity towards all african countries. that's how no trip presented in this organization. i think we need a more or less. yeah,

absolutely. the subject of this nature. so some is so the summit is smart by the spirit of cooperation and partnership. i forget. why must, i must apologize. forgive me please. i'm going to give you a couple of notes here, some highlights from my time. i thought, well this technology, what can you do? i want to give you some of the comments here from some of the guys, the delegations, burkina faso says for can people should not be puppets. molly says the bricks, countries are a hope for us on molly says the bricks will help to fight what they called western domination. south africa says russia, africa, and the whole stomach plays a key role in growth and prosperity. so bob roy says, we need more summits like this. and mozambique says it's important that african countries receive permanent memberships at the united nations security council kind of ruined the same time so that we enjoyed the summit, central african republic cheese. we really enjoyed ourselves and of course the come over and islands talking about the historical ties between the russian federation,

the soviet union, and so many different african nations ofa recent decades. now, just a bit earlier in this program here i was speaking with natalie. yeah. she's a, come a rudy and swiss active as an a business woman. she said, wow, that's a good deals with professional partners in the west. it's clear that some of those are a little bit upset. the african states are building relations with russia. we are dealing with the west and we are in a period with the gemini, of the west is question any challenge. and that everybody's trying to put a hand on africa because the one of the next big thing and you know, it's diplomacy if you see heads of states coming with the, the a mad when, when africa is not voting the way they want to you, when they are mad when the people that have those states come here and negotiate.

so i will when, when partnerships with, with russia, you must to be friendly with russia that's, that's what we're getting from our professional partners. and so in the western countries, they don't want that. i mean, they want russian to be isolate, which is, which is funny, if we look back to history and it was this time where russia was the savior, and now it's the enemy. but i think the western world must understand that we, we have our own nightmare, so we don't buy them nice mass waves. we have, we have an east, tory cool relationship of friendship with russia in africa when our fault, by the way of fighting for independence. russia was helping us. that's right. i mean, it goes back to the soviet union. i mean, even, even before that, it was the 1st african nation for russian to develop diplomatic ties. we thought was when over a 100 years ago, natalie, i know, and you use that. you use the word, you use the word enemy in the same sentence as russia, and i think there's

a western narrative that is very, russo phobic. i even say some of it, i got, i categorized some of it as, as hate speech. to be honest with you, you've hate, speak and do the information. it's fake news that you go. if you, if you studied in germany as to the political science and i was teach some stuff. and now, 1520 years later, you come and tell a completely different narrative, new even trying to, to shape the past in the we, the to we and that's when i buy it. well, the russian deputy prime minister alexi over ciocca who i have the pleasure of speaking with sonya here in the studio here. now he says that africa with its growing population and g d, p is a promising market with which russia is developing connections have a list. so a lot of movement going on here. there are a lot of very deep discussions and things are happening. if you look at what the government is doing to provide access for, for new uses,

from the russian federation to the markets in the global cells. and the construction of the norse cells cord, or from the wall next to the persian. from the persian gulf, it takes us to africa, it takes us to india. obviously, africa, with this fast growing population and out the g p level is higher than every world's average. that's. that's a very promising markets, right? certainly our business community is very much interested in our job is to support their rights. and when, when you talk about the north, south cordele, you know it's, it's, is unassigned, it might even be potentially linked to the chinese one belt one road. initially, if it is essentially a contemporary martin day, so road, and this is, you know, this is going to be another game changer in the world. stephen says and absolutely game changer and you feel, if you look at history,

probably it is for the 1st time in the modern history of mankind when we're able to build the inland. so trade routes, do you think there are a number of these growing countries who want diversifying away from essentially the us? well, we use dollar has performed as a currency, the suited everybody before the us government started is optimizing us dollar. and if it's 14, so that probably would still see the us dollars on a form of exchange. and unfortunately, their politics are pushing everybody toes, finding new ways. but that's, that's also a good way to find the new partners and new links and to have a more secure trade, just have more secure trade between countries. and we're seeing this rage here. we're seeing this in africa, different nations that are trying to use their national currencies should establish

trades is portrayed between their countries, which is safer among the many guests. so we have here at the office international students in st. petersburg at the for him was the russian of foreign ministry spokesman. maria's a hot of a. she took some time out of a busy schedule to join us here. and when we had a really good answer back and forth and. and then she zeroed in on the car in the state of us leadership haven't listen for you. so you say when you talk about the white and white house and you know, what do they have to offer it? and the mind clearly he's, he's having some issues president bite and he is and, and, and goodness knows if he doesn't know i, what do you mean by he's having issues as well. that's, that's a polite way of saying it perhaps. so you're trying to be politically correct. why? well, because well, okay, should i, should i be stressed about it? i mean, shall i say that he's, he's clearly quite old. he's,

he's perhaps needs history. but i think there's some really different supplies. if you want people to wake up and if you think that it's important for people to wake up from the stream, you need to see things as they are. it's not just about his age. an old person could be very wise and young people in good physical shape can be stupid. so age is not the main cause of things. we just need to listen to him and we see a person who's reaction to questions is inadequate. or sometimes he does not react to the questions. he's confused, confused as people mixes them up. so basically his brain cannot process reality adequately. yeah, one of the things i missed the heart of a said somebody during back and full of bands, or she basically said to me, boy you had to diplomatic with your, your, she said rory, you need to be more of a straight shooter because that's exactly what marie is a hot of a is she didn't pull any punches today, and it was a very refreshing time. we had talking to each other here at this russia, africa summit in st. petersburg. we've been covering it from all angles here at all

the international. and it's not stopping any time. so the coverage continues here. all of us here at st. petersburg, we appreciate you joining us on the sidelines on the summit, we spoke with the direct so all the breaks tv channel, a young the hollow about the plans for the board comstock. he said his main priority is to allow everyone to have the perspective of the block. the main objective of fabrics. televisions is to really communicate about pics benefits and to communicate the part that is a lucian's of the brakes. and just to follow the story of those oceans and putting them right into the family home and the understanding of what brake springs, not only for side africa, not only for the, the countries that i involve and breaks, but for the new development was brakes is about telling it story picks does not exist to be contacting people,

but it's exist to. so because we want to grow together, we want to cooperate with each other in a win win is. so is an opportunity to actually off showing the products of how to have africa, especially in other countries, respecting each other in the mutual way of a win win without uh, without being in the business of counting. ours is to full cost of what we need to do to bring a clear idea of mutual growth. and then you're trying to suspect definitely have the conversation that on products and how breaks and its development and partnerships from science education with grow but issues as well. so global issues talk to different then the friendships between people talk. so the couch, as people talks to, obviously the economy part,

but the economy doesn't resides with the 5 countries. it's a global economy. so yes, but it's essentially a uh, a television channel and style set that is only starting in south africa, but to the aim and the goal. and the part of the partnership that we go in without these to have breaks in the last year is to have breaks in china issue of fixing india so so most of the time, those international and sound, those are all over the present at the most that it presented in africa, but you don't have in africa when you're sitting in china, you don't have an african center when you're sitting in india. so this is what they're using off this time. that is mainly about the 2nd day of the rush to africa . summit is wrapping up with somebody to still continuing to take advantage of the time they should meet on the sidelines as any stories develop will be sure to continue to bring to the latest news and analysis folks of pieces, but the

see what the news now the russian defense of industry saves ukraine, has conducted a terror attack on a civilian area and south west russia. 60 and people have been wounded in an explosion that works the see of adult for the city of to gone wrong. early on friday, the state of emergency was put into effect to the location, although as he said to me, so striking damage to restaurants as other civilian areas, the city is located when it to be near, so the don't, yes, we are public, the govern us of the russian defense system into sub today, 2nd to miss all approaching the area. ships have be restricted for venturing, the cut straight, which connects the lot of flux the to the see of as of the ukrainian army has done using cluster munitions provided by the us and it's counter

offensive one. so it's close to bone contains hundreds of small the explosives, the dispos across the targeted area. as an old offend, destination impacts the unexploded shows can remain embedded in the ground. so use lessening civilians, most notably children, aussies, senior correspondent, more and got cfo's exclusive report from the new guns for public, a streaming music or shipping, where people hear thoughts throughout the school board. but it's a junk label for you, or where to go. we're used, these is the immediate, off them off of ukrainian shilling, with clos stuff or cosette, munitions. a school complete. he got his new critical staples that took mushroom. this is just was wondering when, when the firefighters dispatched here never finished the job, they were told to get away in case of further attacks. a witness reported the next

which can lead dormant for decades before designating the so many explosions on the street to the down. lots and lots. did they last long? yes. and it's happened several times. i was at a loss. i was walking boots crochase as i've lost my leg. the russian soldiers came and carried me out. the costs that munitions used in this attack. well, a p a c, which far as an explosive, super heated jet. it explains the fly. we see here, fragments of the stabilizer and the fragment of the armor piercing munitions. there used both in multiple rocket launcher systems and then cluster munitions on the left, such a deep hole. this is where it penetrated, it is used against light armor and against infantry. what is the purpose of using such munitions against the school purpose?
