can you see through they're allusions going underground? can the not just for the president of the russian federation who has invited us, but it's also a success for african countries because of russia is a winner. everyone is the winner of unit c, as of ink and 2 eyes on a joint declaration leave is hale with gear political achievements of the 2nd half of russia, africa, summit's wall. while western nations lay down the importance of the event of those attending se sized gatherings of lights of the face and the rapidly changing world, i think we need a more or less. yeah, absolutely. send me to this. so some is so security,

the summit is marked by the spirit of cooperation in partnership. russia has always respected our sovereignty. the rich countries are a hold for us. they will help to fight western domination. this is another element of the consent forms. use the a by that you create in military against this again, school number 20 full of lead armies, thoughts using has recently supplied us across the board, leaving new and exclusive report. i'm going to get some public on the devastating off the fly from las go. this is odd, c, my name is melissa long, in 30 minutes, news and views and thoughts now of the hours of discussions. plenty of time, sheets and deals being struck. the rush to africa summit has wrapped up in some

fitness, but the much anticipated of an attractive delegation for 49 african nations. the color of president, who's the color chair of the african inside russia for hosting before what she said was crucial for both mosca and the content. a concord or some sort of food? 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. not just for the president of the russian federation who has invited us, but it's also a success for african 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. we live in a unified world in interconnected world. so what we advocate as africa being part

of the organizations that makes the decisions we live in a multi polar world. that's what we're going to do to i would like to express 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. stephen once again confirmed the firm asked you to bite the roster and forget to further develop mutually beneficial partnership. just search for new phones and new areas on it. 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 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 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 continent 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 listen what he said. it's a free to catch assuming that you can interest in them that i think the target dates to qualitatively and quantitatively increase mutual trade and improve it 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 is 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 krupps to 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 st. petersburg. 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 spirit 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 you 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. done 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. i mean, 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 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 during a lengthy round table such as i'm going to need is i'm president, put in discuss the global concerns reform to the un security council and advocates, independence. they also emphasize the significance of the bricks grouping as a key force to promote that, increasingly being the term, multi polarity of the new 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 hope for us. they will help to fight western domination deluxe. what they do is, you know, see how it is important to inform the security council to reduce the in equity towards all african countries. that's all. no trick presented in this organization . so some assets create this summit is marked by the spirit of cooperation and partnership. i think we need a more or less. yeah, absolutely. send me to this, this you on the sidelines. oh, the summit. so we spoke with n j o, you, executive chairman of the, after the energy chain them, he said the event provided a platform to set the song message from the african content to the world. the president culture. the african lead is very strong economic message, but also a very strong message around who many karen issues like green, we food supplies, the big it and that was always africa being able to solve because you can see

a russian story from being a net bought l brain right now to be the next part of green, we can turn that around and doing africa when we look at capacity building technology skills. so know how those fundamental interests are really important would be get and dad is also looking at best and that's your role of business. and based on how you can really get business to remove these up, get everybody moving. i'm really drive things up. but africans also have a role to play, we need to be able to create and, and they'll be in an environment to move things. where are we looking at as the set this money? $1600000000.00 people buy 23rd majority of them is going to be young people. what are we doing to include your young people into premier as with women in african women? for example, in my induction to all the industrial black women as to the last high end for us fire, and we need to be able to exchange and see how we cut those. got on to move this

gate. we close the gap between struggle and success. that is what you're going to see, what the next 2 days. but i hope that as we need you carry that forward and you'll be able to drive that as we go. because then you train was also key focus on the summit as discussions by the inputs instead mosca ready to find ways to solve the prices, despite what he said was the unwillingness of key, right? it's less than i seduce. so there was a need to add any claims in front of the would be fundamental to any negotiations. while the south african president find to moscow for taking a risk of african proposed piece 5 into consideration. an assisted dialogue was the only way to end the concept. i 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 your 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 call 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 that we spoke with south africa and cyber security and anti corruption. and by the joseph limone, about african issues in the technology sector and the importance of russia's work with the concept. the biggest challenge that was the team, we've installed things. so this week is that the most of the technologies that we're using uh 40 there are from the waste. and that there are certain conditions that we cannot feed to weeks because they come with one issue. like for instance, you can haven't been left. so when have i, you obviously to me, the program you will have to get to the technology is that the, the, the technicians from approach? so unfortunately the julian, the above the data i want people were never empowered to know more about the

technology. that is why we're also dependent on the worst and it sounds easy. on the, on the side, basically i can see that the say about is not existing. install the feature because our people are being to for the basic they are not being taught to be empowered. in toronto, we the, we, this is the same. that is the biggest part of the majority of the time. you'll come across the service of government and also corporate services trust you because we don't have the skills to manage the site. but in that account, most of the companies in the office, the board see the water because of the assistance that we were getting from brushing. they helped us to winning the bank. but the only thing that that we are expecting from the residence has been stuff. and that, that's a way for us humans, when we saw them out because most of went with the higher education system the most

way with the research, they must work with government to ensure that the we've got the right people that will be doing whether it's sold off we go, or in the last year, so this people often being seen, they can as being the best science well of to the fail, signed views share that in unity shot the past few days and some people and a not show all the was the covering the full spite, some of the summit on the heart of the venue itself on the bank. so the then about if you missed any of that we've got you covered all the events, big news lines, i'm fresh analysis to available now on our website. odyssey book the the

minus sign directly to the concert and the bus now where one person is dead and i saw that 8 injured officer, dennis came on to shut in from his forces on friday. and sees a little correspondence the sweeney report from one of the districts that was sent . a man has been killed and a girl born in 2014. so just are you till 9 years old. has been wounded in the latest. you cried new shedding of a civilian area here in cab district on the outskirts of don't your city. as you can see, the artillery shell toll through this building head, causing expensive damage. you can see when it came through the roof and the windows have been put out here. the attack took place around lunch time. so these are designed for maximum impacts. now the other side of this building, there was a children's playground. so it could have been a lot, lot was now according to local authority to bring some $44.00 separate attacks over the last 24 hour period. and over the course of the week,

full siblings have been killed across the don't yet, people's republic, we have to reiterate once again that this is a civilian area that all know a minute to pass. now though nothing but a t bases here, as you can see here, this is the alternative. we show the cause, the, uh, the damage to this building. we know that there's been a mixture of both grad, real kits and nato supplied. artillery use in the light is a tux hole theater. never really put into it. they should have this one in the afternoon. there was showing here, glass charts was scattered everywhere. there was such a big explosion. i was so scared. i can't even come to the it's horrible when will it end up still i'm not sure these but this was the systematic sheldon began on the 26th for the 3rd day in the roll. the reach unless showing from early morning to evening. lots of showing. oh areas i showed me some of the show and

has been going on since the morning here and there. i went to the window, there was a bright flash. i jumped out into the entrance. all the windows blew out. they've been showing us for 9 years now. trying to secure us, there is not a single mutual man leaving. we are not in any of these buildings to pay is one of the apartments that was damaged into ukrainian shedding. as you can see here, this used to be the kitchen. this is the cook of and the pots and pans, but you can see where the artillery shell came through the roof of the building before crushing through the floor, causing this widespread damage. and destruction is, was reauthorizing once more that this is a civil in every of there was no but at the present to in fact, most of the people that we've spoken to have been older, people making the older women, but they've been subjected to diet, is shedding by ukrainian forces for the past 9 years. as can you have continues to time arise, civilian populations have been done yet. this is steve sweeney and don't yet city

for all to. the current in armies has thoughts of using the custom. in addition to the recently supplied by the us and it's counter offensive, each box contains 100 is a smaller it exposes this bus across a targeted area and not all of the designate on impact and uninstall it shows can remain and they did in the ground for use poses a threat to civilians, most notably to, to show them how to use senior correspondent. but i've got the file this exclusive report on black from the guns republic. streaming music are shifting way people here thoughts throughout the school board. but it's a junk label for you would have to go used. this is the immediate, often loss of ukrainian shilling with clos stuff or cosette, munitions, a school, complete the got to or in the,

in the news. my eyes were russian president inputs. it is now me and seen was looking at, passes in to him, need a, a brain try. all right. this isn't in a mega span. presidents. are you hear me shit, treasure? yes. 0 friends. so 1st of all, i would love to express my gratitude was for responding to our invitation and found opportunity for a closer meet in the 2nd summit of the rush to africa for him to move. so to just, i think you would all agree that the meeting was very useful and diverse people to express their opinions various opinions. and so, and i'm with them. but all the work was over. but in this period, the friendship and mutual understanding and we were searching for solutions to a new problem. and everybody was interested in finding sites. so as of during the summer to a discuss, different areas of cooperation over between our country and the african continent.

and ours today, so meeting will help us to actually talk about our bilateral relations and maybe said some plans for their further development, the countries between our countries. our relations are friendly, traditionally last year was celebrated to the 55 years since the diplomatic relations were established. between our countries, we know that in your country everybody likes russia and you are interested in our country. and i heard about that from your short address yesterday on our far. but we also think that is very important to develop a relations with burke. and of course, so we decided to review that you have access to the cheese of the russian embassy, which was close to 1992. and i'm sure that our embassy will help us to continue and develop our relationship with different or our

political dialogue is consistent in december 2022, your prime minister of prime minister of your traditional government visited russia . and in june, there were talking between our defense ministries and also the insult. her parliamentary connections are being strength and which is also important. and wherever it is to develop our trade and economy ties the most part of the chrome. our trade is not as impressive. the level of trade is not as impressive and even compared to the true level of trade with other african countries more. but we're also working together on different agreements and treaties concerning civil aviation in sports and education and qualifications. so we'll continue to help your country and it's a professional development and we'll, uh,

reggie in 20232024 will, will have to do the financial aid for 10 students from your country. and we will, we can increase that number if there is enough interest enough. then there is coordination between our countries concerning international relations and we work together it in the u. s. format, as well as other international organizations. one in june, russia contributed to the in the security program to make sure that there's held when they sent to certain african countries, we've contributed $10000000.00. and 2500000 will go to work and of us. so, dear president, your colleagues and friends, we are happy to welcome you here in russia, and i'm happy that we can meet here today. thank you.

back off some quarter of 102. and so for example, let's say everyone would that mister president is a great honor for me to be here today at the 2nd summit until the rest of africa form, as you pointed out yesterday. and i would like to express about, on the letter to friendship at this enforcement, they suggested on stage of russian. this presumed people and people of work. and as i saw, our friends, russia is conducting a special military preparation. i would like to assure you that we support you, your government, our people support your government. yesterday we held a number of meetings and we noticed the variety of different problems that we encounter. and this morning we will be able to talk about our, our violets or relations more. you talked about the embassy,

the russian embassy. well, it was the soviet them listed in which was closed in 1992. but we already took certain steps that would help you actually opened the embassy again. i think that your military admission would also be helpful in our region because there's a lot of turbulence in our region. and we would like to see changes in our policies to some of our traditional apartments are turning their backs to us. and now we can see who our real friends are. and russia is our real friend and has been a real friend since we were a call in it and continues to support us even today. i think that during the assignments you learned about the events in most niger where the

military. uh yeah, but i wanted to cover the government and, and so that affects us directly. and i mentioned that in my address yesterday, i also met with some heads of state estates on the sidelines of the assignment. and they share the about things that happened in their countries in our region. so indirectly, some things that these are the challenges that the russian notices of time. and i'm going to let people much. so i think that we need to take into account these parameters in our diplomatic relations. and i also think that we need to work towards lifting the sanctions. and we want to see him all type, all the world at where every, every countries southern we are fighting against terrorism currently.

and we have different partners to in this fight, but we're all neighbors. and i hope that we will be able to be effective in this fight a message today we're going to hold a meeting with the government of the russian federation. and it is just like you said, there's a lot of potential for our bilateral relations. but we signed an agreement between the russian company looks professional, and the businessman from our country and support us at the name is i've already thought we are talking about the export, the fun costs. and we hope that we'd be able to develop this industry q to export it on there. and obviously because often abuse or provider, there are problems. so, so in this area, and we hope that we got the permits next time that we will be able to

uh, tree to tree directly because we have a number of goods and products that freshman my might be interested in. so i think that we need to encourage such meetings to between our private companies. i think that you might take advantage of our agricultural products. we have also talk to about building plants such a processing plant. so i think the most, we can also talk about that is when we discuss trade between our countries, as for this processing plan or something, we need energy. of course, it is a very important item on the agenda for and if it's possible, they'd like to just build a small nuclear plant in our country to generate electricity. we are strategically located in the center of all of the west african regions went through and there is

lack of energy in the whole region and i think it, it down. so it's a fresh says, drink funds, it's presence in it is region, it will be able to generate energy for the whole area. and we would like to explore that further design of the kind of problem does it go kind of. and as we saw as far as energy goes, we also talked about different aspects. and we want to see how we could restructure our imports and discuss this with russia. we also had contacts with some companies and we would like to get you support is on some of the in this be too much. but i'm also talking about oil products or drug costs. we have the infrastructure that could be developed and victor built. we hope that you can support our producers who would like to get your support in this respect to. so as for the agricultural 6,

i have access to this and most of us that i was in for the president abraham, its file ray and russian by the inputs. him basically told him a lot about trade and has increased trade. but between the 2 countries, put in prison, puts in facility about how aviation is important. abraham child a was looking at other aspects like agriculture. wanted to step up and work on energy fields, especially in nuclear. he wants russia to invest the time and energy in that present. but then also, what do i just cation and how it was more important to teach? i each counsel thoughts how to make money as opposed to just give them money and expect a high interest rate. lots to focus on. but there's head back to our top story. now i'm gonna be more based on the as the current and always started using these

cluster munitions recently supplied by the us. it's counter offensive at each bomb contains hundreds of smaller explosive that this bus across a targeted area is not real. them definitely on impact on either the explore it shows kind of the main embedded in the ground fee is posing a threat to surveys. but more notably, children, all tease of senior costs a little more and guys have filed this expensive report on, but from the guns we have a big let's take a look. music or shipping where people are here, thoughts throughout the school. go to but it's a junk mail for you would have to go use these is the immediate off them off of ukrainian shilling with clos stuff or cosette, munitions, a school completely gutted up for you, christopher faithfuls, it's a commercial freezer to bring with you.
