countries are a hope for us. they will help to fight western domination. and a russian missile strength destroys the regional headquarters of ukraine's national security service in the central city of the net save net profits at all. that's the forwarding to the russian defense ministry the evening from the rising capital. this is our to international with the latest and world news today. i'm, if you're eligible, great to have you join us. after hours of discussions, plenty of handshakes and deals being struck. the russia, africa summit has wrapped up in saint petersburg. the much anticipated event attracted delegations from $49.00 african nations. the president of comber ross, who's the current chair of the african union, thanked russia for hosting the forum. she said was crucial for both moscow and the

continent subcategory, from should appear not. we'd 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 other goods, 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 and we live in a unified world interconnected world. so what we advocate is for co being part of the organizations that make the decisions we live in a multi paula world, federal. but i would like to express my satisfaction that the main invasive, the official program of the 2nd verse advocate summit and held in it constructive

and friendly. i'm a senior as well as in a very effective way square event. once again, confirmed lead from asked you to invite the roster and forget to other develop a mutually beneficial partnership and do this for new phones. new air is on the flood them are put and opened up his statements alongside the african union leader by saying that he was impressed by how productive a talk set this year's 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 destruct

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 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 multiple or world have to be made in national currency. 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 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 to galloping as well. and the russian

president also briefly went over a number of them like the sphere of culture, the spirit of health care. because russia has been doing a lot to help the african continent come back, 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, 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 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 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 length, a round table, session african leaders and president putin discuss global concerns of reform of the un security council and offered his independence, they also emphasize the significance of breaks as a key for us to promote that. now popular term, multiple arity. that's another issue in fulton new for can 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 as you know. so yeah, that is important to inform the security council to reduce the in equity towards all african countries. that's how no true presented in this organization. so somebody says create this summit is marge,

the spirit of cooperation and partnership again. i think we need a more or less. yeah, absolutely. the subject of this this, you mean while some guests from nigeria who came to the summit were spotted singing the russian national anthem? the african dignitaries also showed off their knowledge of the russian language during the high level sessions, as they use russian phrases to greek, president students, and call him their friends. a similar atmosphere was witnessed in conversations throughout the events. the broad knowledge of the language came as no surprise, given the vast scale of african students who have studied at universities in the

soviet union. and now in modern russia. not only african diplomats were in attendance, but also the descendants of previous leaders who have upheld the prominent legacy of their forefathers. dignitaries were treated to a tour of the conic sights and sounds of the historic city of saint petersburg. while travelling along the sea nick never river, among those keeping their parents legacy alive. as rowland lou member, son of patricia mamba, a prominent african independence spider, and the 1st prime minister of the democratic republic of congo. after it chief independence in the 1960, as he is a director of a foundation under his father's name, archie had a chance to speak with him on the sidelines of the summit. and he says that despite western attempts, people in africa just stopped by the negative sentiments toward russia, a just same sample on the bus. the,

i believe this summit is important because the aluminum, the foundation is happy to be present in areas where africa tend or should make decisions. as such, we have become direct witnesses of what occurs and are able to participate. we believe that among all the continents of the world, there is still a lot to be done in africa. do us consider it important to organize the conference with africa? china and france have also done that. so it is completely natural that such a large country is russia would also do so. i was invited to the 1st summit and so she, we believe that both of our countries need each other, especially because we have never had any historic claims against russia or the soviet union as we have had against other countries. we will not forget that the soviet union contributed to our liberation. they helped african countries free themselves from the status of colonies. in general, i see only positive moments, and i believe it is important on

a platform where everyone can speak openly together, determine a path for positive development on both sides. if we talk about the french speaking part of africa about the media, which has a great influence and which is listen to it is mostly western media. we wake up to the sound of our a fights, the bbc and voice of america, their attitude towards cooperation, between europe and russia, is of course hostile. but the common man does not experience that hostility. this is amazing, and lately i can't even explain it, given all the attempts by the west to create that hostility. there is sympathy for such a symbol of the states as the president. there was incredible sympathy for russian president vladimir putin in africa, especially in the congo one can almost everywhere come across such a concept as the right of precedence. it's when you respect someone who is your elder need to listen to them. so be, this is reflected even when you address them. when you address an elder,

you called them your big brother. recently, ordinary people when talking about flooding their food and began to call him our brother regarding loom. but he tried to get support from the united nations. what was refused. so he turned to the soviet union. they agreed to give him an airplane . of course, that's not something grandiose, but it showed intentions. from that moments, many of his opponents began to consider him a communist. although in our country at that time, we didn't really have a comprehension of the concept of communism. after his death, the soviet union provided education to many of his associates relations were good, both during the members life and after it, you are aware the members associates remained on the side of the soviet union. so your brain conflict is also a key issue discussed at the summit. vladimir putin emphasized that moscow was

ready to find ways to resolve the conflict. despite the pronounced unwillingness of cab edits, western patrons to engage in peace thoughts. at this stage, the russian leader said that neutrality for ukraine would be fundamental to any negotiations. meanwhile, the south african president, thanks flush out for considering a peace plan proposed by african nations. as he insisted that dialogue was the only way to end the conflict. hughes, who you 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 you take this initiative by the

7 countries very seriously been 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 with a rush to africa. summit making headlines over the last 2 days are these donald quarter managed to get an exclusive opportunity to speak with the president of the

eastern african nation of eritrea. they discussed a wide range of issues from crumbling western who gemini, to the immense prospect for cooperation between russia and the africa. here's part of that interview. it will be broadcast in full on sunday. i woke up late from the sort of kind of complex that was the complex all most tough to use to know for me, it's a continuation of one ideal engine. it's an ideal in your flavor or something. i don't of your, for colonialism. it's on, i don't lose your medical on their lives and it's on, i don't know, gee, or police in the last 2 years. we can talk a walk. hey joe, on controlling control in on totally in control of n. and i shall became all minutes of the target. this ideology, of course, continues and the in the context of the russia, africa summit, the, there were a lot of reports of western powers trying to pressure african countries into not

coming to this summit. i wanted to ask if you yourself ran into any of that of these attempts by the west to pressure you or um then in general for those that did receive some sort of pressure from the west, why would you think the west would try to stop them? from participating in the summit. so it's a, it's a show of their weakness, their ideal a. d, all fine, i'm not totally containing these advice you, i'm about content and everyone who doesn't balls to this ideology. i'm being there for the last of the, if you wouldn't be farmers if you're not in line with them a way of thinking it's either functions it's i have uh demonizing, this old dot guy. and using also soft force, including the water bar, i m f and all the tools they use to, to, to pressure everybody to bow to both of these ideology and people are fed up of

this behavior is this culture of domain notion. how you do me ever, what is this? is this for the profit? the people in africa above any of the company in us would like to see this process going forward and changing their quality of life most for this generation bought for from the company generation. so, or that will deals everett or likely or losing and all little crazy to thought or thought, thought or to, to, to give the impression that this is a 5. if you relax advertising, this has nothing to do with your credit or advice. you may see this label that has been there for the last of these, and this will only cost you this. what i have available there. everyone in age are locked in america. you. the american people are fed up of this thing and when they try to pressure someone who doesn't bother with this, i don't know. gee, it's only emphasizes a fog that they're fed up. they're, they're, they're, they're, they're now phase. yeah. emission afraid deal sign very shared,

and unity shown in the past 2 days in st. petersburg in a nut shell, r t was there covering the full spectrum of the summit from the heart of the venue itself on the banks of the nova. if you've missed any of it, we've got you covered all the events, big news lives and fresh analysis to available now. on our website the, the russian military says it has destroyed the regional headquarters of ukraine's national security service in the central city of the net profit throws with a missile stripe r t correspondence div sweeney reports from the don. yes, republics. with more details, a russian missile has struck a building belonging to the ukrainian security services in the city of denise pro petroff, the attack took place at around 8 30 pm on friday night. this has been confirmed by

the russian defense ministry to have of course, insist that this was a, a targeted attack or a civilian area. and the 2 children were moving people to boston, defense ministry has dismissed those claims. they said that this was a precision strike against will take, describe as a decision making sense. and now course, this isn't the 1st time that russia has talked to these decision making centers on may the 30th. it struck a number of signs belonging to ukrainian military intelligence. the weather was planning terror attacks on the territories belonging to the russian federation they were doing so with the western sports is now friday nights last time. so just was off the ukrainian results struck the city of target enrolled in the rust off region . now moving 10 people were wounded in the attack, a number of those with children. and according to the russian defense ministry,

i 2nd, we saw it was intercepted. now we're seeing more and more of these kind of terror attacks. he's missed all attacks against tennessee belonging to the russian federation. of course, just recently. we so talk on the coast bridge, of course, the bridge that links the russian federation a to crime in o 2 people were killed amount of women, a mother and father in not strike. and a daughter was left wounded. and of course is now an open crime. it seems to be one of the main targets for you. crime. we heard from the acting governor of cas on through said the on friday nights there was a missed all attack on the right away looting. curse on to crime is as you cry as counter offensive is by eating somebody any save me is ground. we're seeing more more of these acts of desperation and and now 2 other updates from the conflict zone. russia's defense ministry has reported that a number of recent ukrainian attacks were repelled. let's take

a look at one of those incidents in which a russian tag crew was out numbered $8.00 to $1.00. are you? how up are you? yeah. how do you, how can you come to the strip? it was getting closer to drew up. very good. what did they get all that time? i do not know if i do not watch this video on your screen shows the russian tank facing the superior numbers of ukrainian military vehicles on the battlefield. soon rushing, artillery joined in the fight, destroying the entire ukrainian you yet in just a 2nd throne. operators who witnessed the battle, said the russian take crew to prove courageous. despite being out numbered ukrainian army has started using the cluster munitions recently supplied by the us and it's counter offensive. each farm contains hundreds of smaller explosives that dispersed across a targeted area as not all of them that made on impact the unexploded shelves can

be made and bedded in the ground for years, posing a threat to civilians. most notably children are too senior corresponded were a dogs, they have filed this exclusive report from the low balance for public music or shifting way people here thoughts throughout the school board, but it's a junk mail forwarded over to see if they were used. this is the immediate off them off of ukrainian shilling with clos stuff or cosette. new nations from a school completely gutted uh for new critical staples that took mushroom. this is just was wondering when we the plus side is 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 edge and 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 stimulation that was used year 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. and how do you know it was cluster bottoms and you held on to distinguish them? to so many small explosions. the printers? yes. live in the neighborhood area. we open her there, 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 of soldiers he has said that this, this is safe to, to pick up of these plus the bottom. let's use identical to the american made m $77.00 plus the munition thousands of plus the munitions artillery shelves had recently been supplied to ukraine by the, by the administration. this was all but suddenly one of them used to demolish

the school housing refugees. i would go ahead, would civilians inside? yes, but they were taken out. the one no meal is there a here at all. who was the civilians, grandparents who left without house and some temporary recommendation sent us? so ironically 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 ran to the school, which was already putting, evacuated everyone and provided them with shelter. what were your 1st impressions? i mean, they were confused, completely lost in or they were 5 shell impacts or filled with cluster munitions, 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 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 jet. it explains the fly. so we see here fragments of the stabilizer and the fragment of the armor piercing munitions their use, both in multiple rocket launcher systems, and then cluster munitions or the end of the left such a deep ho. 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 crossed 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 scotch shelves of williams in a month, so that it kind of got sort of $1230.00 this normal. what is it for the russians? and then they have the more, i guess, the of archie from lucy, john lived on screech in the so called game changing weapons. which key have, has been asking the west for what changes, nothing as they simply don't exist. so says former military analyst at the us defense department, chuck, spinning. he also ponders the extraordinary size of the american military budgets and the apparent shortage of munitions in the country. that's i have this saturday,

i'm going underground. 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 the 3rd of a $155.00 millimeter howitzer shells. so we're taking, we're, we're, we're giving the ukrainians costs or bombs which, which, which our old customer bonzai does race and the order they are, the higher the dod rate, sorry, the binding, the ministration says, the dead rate is a fantastic entity blinking it, paid to the american public saying these are completely different. yeah,

yeah. right. that's, that's, that's nonsense. 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. and we don't have spare parts. we don't have munitions is a sound familiar is just like what they were benjamin about with carter who inherited the problem from next. it kinda got lost. it lost his presidency because of that argument. the a former nato supreme commander for europe has called for the block to use its war ships to escort ukrainian vessels in the black sea. but he also noted that doing so

could in sight, a direct conflict between russia and the military alliance. how would it work? probably, by bumping the merchant crops into $3.00 to $5.00 ship convoys, each is quoted by a couple of guided miss holloway ships. the risk is all this. it will bring the russian ukraine's west and supports us into direct confrontation, if not necessarily combat. gordon would fumes butter and threaten but is unlikely to take a nature or a us led coalition of blacks, the worship, and direct combat. now this comes as nato has condemned russia for leaving the rain deal and promised to bolster its forces in the black sea region. now at this point, it appears the alliance is going to use airplanes and drones for reconnaissance. nato and allies are stepping up surveillance and reconnaissance in the block c region, including with maritime patrol aircraft and drones around.
