the spirit of cooperation and partnership. russia has always respected our sovereignty. the brits countries are a hope for us. they will help to fight western domination. this is one of the elements of the cassette mom used to be a by that you played in military goods. this again, school number 24 of the for any of the army starts using its recent police supplied us cluster folders. we bring you an exclusive report from the loop down script public on there, devastating off from this action is motivated solely by the idea of preserving our dear country face to the degradation of the security situation and bad economic and social governance. the military leader of a coo and niger claims he had no choice but to seize control of the government to save the west african nation from this auster, that's alice general t. m e proclaimed himself the new head of

the the most go to the world. they say is our to international pleasure to help your company for the needs are after hours of discussions, plenty of hot chicks and deals being struck. the russia african summit has wrapped up in st. petersburg. the much anticipated event attracted delegates from $49.00 african nations. the congress president, who is the current chair of the african union sign prussia for hosting the forum, which he said was crucial for both must go. um, the confident a quarter to some sort of a not i would like to offer my congratulations to you mister president. because all of the decisions that you've taken you've made, you're not going to regret them. because we have managed to secure a great success of address and not just for the president of the russian federation who has invited us. but it's also a success for countries because of russia is

a winner. everyone is the winner. 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 for many centuries. we've had good relations and i think these relations are going to develop. i think our success is assured and we are satisfied with the outcomes of these meetings. you know, we live in a unified world interconnected world. so what we advocate is africa being part of the organizations that make the decisions we live in a multi polar world, federal but i would like to base my satisfaction that the main advice of the official program of the 2nd verse advocate summit were held and constructive and friendly atmosphere as well as in a very effective way event. once again confirmed the firm asked you to invite the roster and forget to further develop our mutually beneficial partnership and to search for new phones. new air is on a lot of our put and opened up his statements alongside the african union leader by

saying that he was impressed by how productive a top set this years. russia, africa summit has been, he said that the african continent has shown great interest in continuing to develop warm relations and trade turnover 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 african confidence in 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 in areas as well. and he said, that's 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 work and trade deals can be done. and of course,

one of the biggest subjects when it comes to trade deals is russian export of grain to the continents, 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 multi polar world have to be made in national currencies. let's take a list of what he said. it's a bit of catch just given that you can interested in that i think the target dates to qualitatively and quantitatively increase mutual trade and improve this structure. we're also talking about consistently switching to national currencies, including the ruble in financial settlements, eliminate trade barriers, including by linking integration processes within the range and economic union of the african union. and it's free trade area to increase exports to africa. russian industrial products which enjoyed good reputation on the continent, including machinery, equipment, vehicles, chemicals,

and fertilizers. a country will continue to supply crops while african friends both on a contract basis and free of charge. a walk at the summit continues, but even now i would like to thank old, our african colleagues for accepting our invitation to go to some pages. but russia is sincerely trying to build for the strategic, multifaceted relations and partnerships with africa. and we see the same attitude to act together on the part of african friends. 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 sphere of culture, of the spirit of health care. because russia has been doing a lot to help the african continent combat the potential spread of epidemics as well. and what am i putting to even said that they have a number of documents lined up to significantly increase industrial cooperation and

energy cooperation between the russian continent of the russian federation and the african continent. and on top of that, of course, one of another sphere of cooperation is education. this is something that not only vladimir putin has been talking about, but russian officials throughout this summit. 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 make them a better place and, and build 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 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. let's go through. so the mean news lines during a lengthy, round table session, african looters and president couldn't discuss global concerning this reform of the

un security council and africans independence. they also emphasize the significance of the brick script thing as a key force to promote that. increasingly being heard term, multi polarity, the business in focusing to african people shouldn't be puppets. we need to ensure the self sufficiency of our people and countries. russia has always respected our sovereignty. the bricks, countries are a hope for us. they will help to fight western domination deluxe. what they do is, you know, see if it is important to inform the security council to use the in equity towards all african countries. that's how no trick presented in this organization. so some assets create the summit is marked by the spirit of cooperation and partnership or den. i think we need a more or less. yeah, absolutely. send me to this that you will on the sidelines all of this summit ortiz know if you can get had a chance to talk with the nigerian vice president cuz she should team

a praise the ties between his country and russia, and hope that catherine would boost the prospects for the entire african consulate to exit as the vice president of the republic, off a nigeria and the senate to thank you so much for your time and really appreciate your availability. what was the importance of nigeria participating in the senate? we have come here to sell it and i did and bring to sick for, for trinity. and we know that they're actually on good ration and that kind of wanting to have had sent unity. so let me try the beneficial impaction and speaking on partnerships and friendships of what is the importance of strategic corporation between russia and africa. and what are some of those affects is that you see, or other industries in sick to is that you see possible developments from russia

produce has to include defends 5 percent of the global grants. so russia would be an authentic partner, a good time to create an investment for roshana oil companies. that's the problem. and the rates are some of the biggest plans in the market. now you have the 6, the largest fully photographs in the world. i've got the easy product of choice, right? yeah, it's endowed with the skill set with the attendance, with their resources for why do i addition, it shouldn't viewed in my, the time industry, in oil and gas in, in, in, in, in agriculture, in crates, in federal came itself. so we really want to high means those for tensions for janine economy intercourse with their action nation.

actually, we live in columbia to bid for assistance. no, we're here seeking for genuine honda fraternity. i'm friendship unpacked to issue. do you see russia and the african continent working more closely and aligning the strategic cooperation and matches such as security and politics as a result of this particular summit? i believe so. i hope so that our relationship would have had them for june more. i would go in the samples, so what i would kind of what i would would try to do and, and just share relationship. disney jr and so forth. so to interpret contracts because it also get an opportunity for optic. i knew that your intellect really on if it is sort of the quality such that in the next couple of months and years. i really, we're going to do a bunch of what have this front of this relationship. they are coming from the sound of rush at beta and russia is coming to understand that. and i appreciate

that baker victor. because of that for me to me in the russian government has sort of this a program for this partnership. for them. 14 on all of the leading lights of direction establishment. wines in the past, what street is that? it's just the money the departments went on for the interest groups from the free time side, as well as from the shawn size to us and has the relationship between the pre kind of continuous and their action position. will a conflict in ukraine also we may expect a key focus of the summit's at discussions, basically be food security, run that no vladimir putin stated most who is ready to find ways to solve the crisis, despite what he said was the unwillingness of kids. and it's western allies to do so. the russian leader out at ukraine's neutrality would be from the mental to any negotiations, the size of freaking presidents around the post. i think law school for taking your

we send a freaking proposed piece plan. you may remember into consideration and insisted dialogue is the only way to end the conflict. we do understand from your explanation, the origins of this conflict and where it started and how it started. we are however, pleased to hear you say you recognize the initiative that we as african countries, 7 african countries have taken and the you take this initiative by the 7 countries very seriously in calling for engagement. we say so from our own histories, as african countries, that many countries on the continent were involved in various

conflicts. and in the end of those conflicts, many of them were resolved through peaceful means through negotiations. and it is this that informs us to car for negotiations and dialogue. and in that regard, we do believe that we do have a right to call for peace because that is a principle that we're family believed in their overall oppose. it will russia's foreign ministry spokesman took some time out during her busy schedule of the event to sit down with us and delve into a number of key issues. you can watch. the full interview with marie is the heart of a fraud. the day you were in our tea, here's one question though we raised about this jump. how important is it the thing to get onto the news into the african continent,

and is there an interest in africa to watch the news product that comes off of russia? do you think that that was the new, the new spoken data? see, this is important, not just for r, t or russia, but for the whole world, the world cannot have only one source of information. this is wrong because it leads to the spread of this information, politically biased information including fakes. the world must have alternatives, competition, which is a live and to normal. this is what the west was formed upon during its prime years . a live competition, competition struggle demand, and the answer to this demand supply. there should be media with different voices. those who are in this country and work in this country should broadcast about the country, not those who buy information about the country and then change it to their own format and we sell it further. this is what is happening. for decades, the african continent has been receiving information about russia, asia, and latin america, not from russia, asia, and latin america,

but indirectly through the united states, london, and friends. they have traditionally monopolized the media on the african continent, either directly or indirectly. this is not the right situation. we talked about this with the editors in chief of the african media. that this situation must be changed. they should receive information about russia either through their own correspondence in russia or from russian journalists. they should take it directly from russia, not read what is happening in russia from the british news. the situation needs to change in this sense, the role of r t, the role of russian agencies, the role of split the radio is enormous. so deal signed you shared, and unity show the past 2 days in st. petersburg. in a nutshell, r t spring covering the full spectrum of the summit from the hearts of the venue itself on the banks of the neighbor river. all the big developments interviews, i'm explicit content from the not completed. defend all available on our website.

the okay, let's move on to more news. this somebody, the headquarters of the printing and security services in the city of any propane thrusts has reportedly been hit in a russian missile strike. a residential complex also suffered damage with up to 5 people, set you up and injured, some reports name. it may have been hit by ukrainian or defense systems. moscow has yet the comments but has repeatedly expressed previously. it does not target civilian infrastructure. when it comes off to the russian defense administrator said keeps forces. car died of attack on a civilian area inside the west, russia. on friday, 16 people were wounded in the explosion that rock the ports to the if to gather

wrong authority said, and miss silas strike hits a restaurant on the surrounding area. local governor is that are defenses, interest. after the 2nd missile, we heard from witnesses near the attack location. i want it to go to my car and then there was a bang and a blast wave. it's done to me. it hurt. and after a few seconds, there was another, the same strong sound with another blast wave. yes, who was walking with my grandson in the yard. at that time there was a strong explosion. wires and glass flew fragments of something flew into the yard . i put my grandson into house the shard lens it here while the ukrainian army started using the cluster munitions recently supplied by the us and that's contra offensive. now each palm contains hundreds of smaller explosives that disperse that cost a targeted area. as not all of them designated on impacts the unexploded shells can

remain and bedded in the ground for years, posing a threat to civilians. as you might expect, most notably children ortiz, senior correspondent in the rock, goes the filed this exclusive report from the against republic. the streaming music or shipping where people are thoughts throughout the school go to, but it's a junk mail forwarded. where to go. we're used, these is the immediate off them off of ukrainian shilling with class stuff or cosette munitions from a school completely gutted uh for your new critical staples that the commercial was one of them pretty easy to put money in. the firefight as dispatched here. never finished the job. they were told to get away in case of further attacks. a witness reported the next impact.

the 12 hours later, the school is still in flames. with evidence of what has happened here is everywhere. the school is still budding. there was a lot of people here, a single, far engine. we've had to look around the school grounds and we found these little crazes all over the place. here's another one. this goes much deeper books. over here, we found something that appears to be an element of the golf simulation that was used here. rattled, locals had come to look among the teachers who works here. clauses, would you to begin on september? first? you chose a girl. what did you hear?

those were costa booms. i'm good. how do you know it was cluster bottoms and you will have them to distinguish them? to so many small explosions. the princesses, yes, will live in the neighborhood area. we often heard the whistling and clicking this is another element of the cassette bottom, use the a by that you create in military against this. again, school number 24. what are the soldiers? he has said that this, this is safe to, to pick up these plus the bottom. let's use identical to the american made and $77.00 plus the munition thousands of plus the munitions artillery shelves had recently been supplied to ukraine by the, by the administration. these was all but certainly one of them used to demolish

a school housing. refugees. i would go ahead with civilians inside. yes, but they were taken out the one no meal into here at all. who was the civilians? grand parents who left without house in from temporary accommodation, sent us. so i rather early enough they lost their homes. they were brought here. and this happened again. yes. the 1st to respond with troops of the 5th brigade who rushed to the scene of to the 5th impacts. we run to the school, which was already putting, evacuated everyone and provided them with shelter. what were your 1st impressions? i mean, they was confused, completely lost in or they were 5 shell impacts or filled with cluster munitions, which conveyed dormant for decades before designating the so many explosions

on the street to the down. lots and lots. did they last long? yeah, since it's happened several times, i was at their loss. i was walking boots crochase as i've lost my leg. the russian soldiers came and carried me out. the cost that munitions used in this attack were all my p as a which far as an exclusive, super heated, yet, 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 or the end of the left such a deep hole. this is where he penetrated it is used against light armor and against infantry. what is the purpose of using such munitions against the school purpose? i don't see any. the

ukraine has demonstrably fod costs the munitions despised for the indiscriminate nature. as a city of a 100000 and the civilian schools to boot with shelves likely provided by the united states. the escalation is brazen. russia is sure to onset, receive our girl, no green scattered man shells williams and newmont. so that it kind of got sort of way of 30 does the what is it for the russians? and they have been, the more, i guess, the of archie from lucy, john lived on screech and well, the so called game changing weapons. which key of has been asking the west for would change though for us they simply don't exist. so say its former military on the list of the us defense department, chuck, spinning. he also ponders the extraordinary size of the american military budget on

the par, ensure had just munitions in the country today on going undergrad. today the newspapers are, are part of the problem. they are, they're just talking about the super weapons. and in fact, if you now the ukraine situation is a classic case of where this takes us. basically, when, if you go back and read some of the pressure of twice right after the war started, you'll see that there were these gleeful reports about how the united states was going to be the arsenal of democracy, producing game, changing weapons. you remember that term game changing weapons and, and now look at the situation. we've run out of 30 of a $155.00 millimeter howitzer shells. so we're taking, we're, we're, we're giving the ukrainians costs or bombs which way, which are old costs are bonds at high doug race and the old are the, are the higher the dod rate, sorry, dividing the ministrations as a doug rate is

a fantastic entity blinking appear to the american public saying these are completely different. yeah, yeah. right. that's, that's, that's nonsense. uh, you know, you're basically you guy is amateur hour in washington on this stuff. and that is, the point is the point is here we have this $477000000000.00 budget or whatever it is. i said on the 27th of 2022. 70000000000. uh, and we don't have spare parts. we don't have munitions. does that sound familiar is just like what they were mentioning about with carter who inherited the problem from next? it kinda got lost. it lost his presidency because of that argument. the can update on a story we've been following for a few days. now the un security con sales call for the immediate release of the

president of niger, he's currently being detained, following a military coup with the head of the army. no, i proclaiming himself the country's new leader, the lot her clothes. busy on citizens of the west african nation to stay calm and claim the take over was to save the course of the country to use it in defense and security forces have gathered within the national security council to put an end to the regime of the 7th republic this action is motivated solely by the idea of preserving our dear country faced with the degradation of the security situation and bad economic and social governance. we call for calm visual ins and patriotism as together we can overcome these challenges. we reaffirm our willingness to respect all international engagements to which the republic of new share subscribes, particularly for human rights. the power is the one that we did that we did the on the, to the presidential palace, the he's the one of the, or myra,

sorry. me of the him. the music that has been pending distribution really well in the automated lived uh, lived just them. when something must be wireless and the work for me. so is this what i can do and what are the when to the bathroom . i bought this house the, the, some of the, some called us and so on. this is the underneath the police, another camera, and under control distribution. and there's not much available in the image of the services. i need to cancel for the meeting on yesterday that out. a meeting with citizen has been in the, the people, the support team on the most of the serious societies, organization and some other become and who to support could immediately. and there's no support that has to lose the company. and this is meant to be seen at

the beginning of the when buzzer sitting down the numbers we came out, but listen them getting used for the data to support the people to come out and ask me to go ahead. i'm going to lose the company to play and it says one of the things i'm the term was that i sent back and asked him what of that much it was supposed to have been the reaction of the them. i'm just for the division of the president, the, the west. i'm the asking the media to say about this. the minister of us are feeling the prostate. even the it is not yet. you said there is a method that the going to be another way of doing it. colors i'm, most of these are select us. there is the same business image. the think of something specific is the going to be bringing them to develop the knowledge of

nice, really picking the power to do something with them. is one of the best allies and decide regents. i've seen by the over by the media is something the 1st thing i'm thinking is that the warranty on some analysis i'm i'm just walk some fooling. there we go from business editor and journalist. both send almost fee, who believes the, who shows the desire of african states to tread their own independent power. these are changing. the scale is changing for the supervisors in west africa to the, from a business hosting. we certainly in the last few dollars to the testimony of what has changed in process, we're gonna, we're very slow going to be a walk over whichever way you look at a friend's house. as there's.
