the, the, the scenes bear with drones hit the heart of russia's financial district in the out hours of sunday morning. and most of the russian ministry of defense saying ukraine is behind the time the roles of the french embassy burned in the chair. thousands reilly in support of the new military leadership following the cooling, the west african nations, while a block of country strengthens military intervention if the ousted president isn't reinstated in one weeks. the circle of friendship as leaders hailed the success of the russia africa summit. the joint declaration, try and give harold a new era up to one the way the

car i rented down your top highlights of the past week and of today you'll use is no one else. so explosive scenes. we're witnessing the russian capital over night as a 3 drones approach. the heart of the city from the west. the most goes to the business center, was struck by a path. the russian defense ministry says it was a ukrainian u, a v attack on the morning of july 30th. an attempt to terrorist attack by the key of resume with the unmanned aerial vehicles in the city of moscow was stopped. one ukrainian u, a v was destroyed by air defense and the space above the uninstall of a district of the moscow region. 2 more drones were surprised by electronic warfare, causing them to crash into non residential buildings in moscow city. this happened in the early hours of sunday, 3 ukrainian drones were intercepted by a russian forces. one of them will shut down immediately. the other 2 were intercepted by electronic warfare, and they trashed into the business complex that you can see right behind me. this

is in most close of business district, of course they damage the facade of the building, and one security guard was entered. there was lots of shattered glass of ports here on the street that they're cleaning up. but at the same time, there's construction going on here. and it has been going on for quite some time. and that's why the picture might look more severe than that actually is. this is the 4th such attack a in the russian capital this month. and the 3rd this week, let's not forget that ukraine is currently several weeks into its counter offensive . and as we know, things are not really going well for them. so they seem to be resorting to desperate measures and those desperate measures entail targets a more and more civilian infrastructure. so let's take a look back at some of the recent times of the keywords. we has the tack not only russian territory, but also targeted russian citizens the,

[000:00:00;00] the same the west has been silenced when it comes to the subtraction, normally that condemn such acts of violent spots, not when it comes to russia. and again, as we know, it's thanks to their health, washington's help,

and it's nato allies like he is able to do this. something that's the russian foreign ministry has been saying all along. and the results of that help is, as you can see right behind me, a massive explosion in northern pakistan is killed at least 44 people and left well over a 100 wounded incident occurred during the crowd of raleigh hosted by his while. i'm a political party, told him to run up to heidi contested national elections later this far. he said so police are being a suicide bombing officials have condemned the attack was inactive terrorism on hold for increased that was to maintain peace in the country. well, diplomacy certainly was at the full of this week in st. petersburg, the city bank hooked to the russia africa summit. and the big time events attracted delegations from 49 african nations. the continents leaders advertising why it's crucial for rusher and the countries to what the cap it's looking 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 hope for us, they will help to fight western domination. deluxe certificates. you know, see if it is important to inform the security council to reduce the in equity towards all african countries. that's how 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. the subject of this nature. sure. level of concern is that reform or the un security council and advocates independence assessment for the total was during a very lengthy round table. it's actually using. yeah, i'm thinking around for this given to a russian african relations as a force of creating a more just remote t polar winemaker love. at this event, the concord room from sort of 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 is africa being part of the organizations that make the decisions we live in a multi polar world. we do understand from your explanation the origins of this conflict and where it started in 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. we was talking with the vice president for the international. russo file of movement. so i went out into an a d i a he

believed the world has the potential to unite the spice. it's continued diversity. ways to get in my opinion and brushes now on the sides of the truth. the world is now living through different times because the western countries wants to dictate the terms to the whole world. but these conditions do not suits us. and ross, on the contrary, respects us. do you remember what the soviet union did in africa? it helps liberation movements. and since the world is divided now we have more interest with russia than with other countries. of course, i'm supposing the idea of a multi paula world where all difference but we can unites we can choose different pulse, but still respect each other. it is impossible for on the one power to dictate its terms to all this, we are proud of what we're doing now at the level of follow organization. the national movement offers the files. a lot of those are keeping the parents legacies alive is a role in the bung by the son of patrice lumber,

permanent african independence fighter in the 1st prime minister of the democratic republic of the congo after it achieved independence. back in the sixty's, i roll it in the bumper as a director of a foundation under his father's name. and we spoke to him at the summit and he says, i forget, doesn't really buy all this negative sentiment geared towards russia. it is the same simple song plus the i believe this summit is important because the lumen, 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 considered it important to organize a 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 to 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 was 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 precedents. 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 luminous associates remained on the side of the soviet union. of the russia, africa, somebody bought together not only politicians on officials, but of course of business leaders as well. and we heard from some of the african dignitaries about what they thought of their experience here in the russian federation or last week. give me or not whether it's full, it's culture or anything else. you see blood patients have come together to insure a corporation between russia, enough or what is going very well. this country has always historically supported offer gusts and that is a great pleasure in order for us to attend this forum. this chris to assume is, i've seen this form is really important for africa. so afrikaans, it's a useful thing and it is also very profitable apart from these, it will allow africans to achieve multiple era team. so, you know, every card is trying to wake up from all the so called partnerships that have

coveted unplugged to know where the and the good relationship between my country in d. r. c. and most cool. i'm dick and benefits to all the students back home because yeah, actually increasing the quota for the scholarship source. older student back home can also get an opportunity to come here to study for free . we are experiencing how many we have we experienced a lot of, uh, exposure, also we have in case there's a lot of them, but not as willing to invest in design yet. and becomes believe we have almost the 50 companies that yeah, it's showing of interest to you visiting teams on while african latest got a chance to experience are russia. and during the to day summit, russians got a chance to experience a taste of africa as well. the special menu prepared by restaurants in st. petersburg in honor of the foreign guests. the,

the o and it's nice. it is protection of the success rate. african the, the topping games is african field. so it's the other thing i think this is rice and mix with a bit of cream. okay. obviously he quoted results, but if i wasn't home i would have probably forwarded to you guys on nice. yeah. yeah, yeah. initially what vehicle back that home on guys,

and this is something that we probably move on a daily basis. easy to be honest with. it's just if it's doing it with them, we have the idea and then decided to put this new menu in every restaurant. we thought for a very long time and looked at all the information so we can learn more about african dishes. we realize that african cuisine is a lot different than brushing, so we decided to mix it up and combine the 2 cause aids together. so everyone can

enjoy them. well, this title was my so i plan to think of the action of the restaurant. i forgot economic injury, monetary and for him, so many fast ending people, all sorts of discussions and bills being assigned as well. we had a great time covering the event from the front lines of the conference. you see more of especially reporting analyses dot com, the attorney for the african continent. now, where a western african block of nations, e co wise, has threatened military intervention in need. or if that opposed president is not reinstated within one week, the 7th, 2 to shake up africa's to hell region and just the last couple of us dislike. so let me say press, it doesn't what, how much but who remains the legitimate elected president,

head of state of the republic of night news yet recognized by a cause the african union and the international community events. authority is the minds of much met within one week. take all measures necessary to restore constitutional for the end of the public information. such measures include the use of force economic community of west african states as suspended financial aid in each avenue, frozen state assets held in international bangs. this is off the national military leaders, senior control of the country. last block is also shut his borders with huge air, including binding old commercial flights. there are several here appear empowers of, condemned to the crew with full my original colonial power of frogs threatening to retaliate if any of its citizens. uh huh. we have this report from local correspondent timothy you'll be as this is

a voice or where of course held an extra ordinary meeting of lead us today following wednesdays. cool in the service, probably the meeting was whole said by my to yes, president at f with strattman ball acceptable at the meeting west. also going to lead us. we checked at the military takeover in the sheriff and florida, the immediate release and reinstatement of president mohammed assume within 7 days and of course, threatening to use force if cool leaders do not comply and also announce sanctions including closing board us with new jersey freeze and assets and travel events, but while via, of course meet in house in a bu, jeff, thousands of support as much in the sure. in some. busy of the cool products on wednesday, soldiers of the presidential cards all studies, very impressive. assume and have since held him hostage for soldiers set. but the season was due to the prevailing security and economy challenges of a country. me cheryl has been bottling on militants and local bandits for years. on friday,

the military hunter named general abdulla her main shanty as the leader of the new transmission council. since 2020 west africa has been seen military takeovers, including in guinea. molly, and what kind of fossil out see, boom, job materia, seawall approach as of types of french embassy in nature as capital costs at the entrances, especially windows, or you can buy to see the pictures right now and see french segments have been on the rise and these air and powers previously supported recently the photos stuff from the, from the is also a couple full financial aid to the rest of the country following this. cuz the, you can see the thousands of people that gathering in new jersey capital, expressing support the country is new leadership. some of them waving russian science and a testament with a strong relations between those nations. on the grounds, the former colonial power from many rows and i said they were fully behind the new

national leadership. we came out today to tell the national community that we stand with our army. they must understand base. we'll take these to the very end. if they want to help us, we are here and we will welcome them as friends. but if they want to fly to us, we'll treat them as enemies. the people have suffered in this country. we should not have to leave like these people are coming out to support the military stake over because they're here to bring the balance to the country and see when you get rid of this is a historic day and niger following the crew. we are on this morning of july 30th, 2023 at a place of consultations where there are many,

many women and young people who have come out and mass to this historic location in the capital. the, i'm a, they are here to support the soldiers gathers at the national security council to say no to france and yes to russia, as well as no to for and military rule. and no to equal was. those are the messages of the people who have come out here on this day. bothering classes in a crowded, palestinian refugee camp in lebanon. and over forward we left 6 people dead and several others wounded of the near. while the incident occurred on sunday and the country's largest refugees have the palestinians near the southern fort city of seed on the island. so that do, they broke out between the opposing medicine groups within the facility offered a power and dissemination of time left an unintended person that according to you, in estimates there are more than $50000.00 people living in the can. and

lawlessness reported lee is not on the on how to put into numbers. did they res, continue selling in tor ago? we known as last night. we couldn't sleep. there is a state of fear and panic among the patients. you can hear the sound of gunfire constantly, day and night. the coal mining industry at the door hits basin was the historic pillar of the economy. but now many of those workers have become soldiers moving from the challenging jobs on the ground or even tougher conditions on the front lines. also, correspondent steve sweeney, going underground into the heart of dock. it's. we're heading back, you have co, which is the basic heart of the mining industry in the don't. yes, republic, we're about to make our journey some 150 meters on the ground. the one thing that really strikes me is how it's constructed. as you can see,

this tunnel is made from a wooden logs. it's reinforced, of course, by metal. but you can see that these are the conditions at the very 1st mine is e o . d minus head and mucky advocate would have worked. and now this tunnel is use one for the transportation of coal, but also to take material to those workers who are working on the co face. the a, a, a is a kind of fun. as you can see, it's very primitive. but this is a telephone that people use if they need to call somebody above ground for help. they're all so electricity, power cables, these are some of the got 1200 volts so they've very,

very powerful indeed the, this is the transmission belt that takes the coal to the surface. now, before the conflict begun, there were full shift and they extracted approximately 1200 tons of co today. now, many of course have gone to the front line of financing and defense of that home line. so there's now just 2 ships working and they produce approximately 400 tons of coal. i'd tell you so a huge dropping production. the fish combined isn't working at present, but there all kinds to bring it into production. wants to come pick this over a mine is return from the front line whether defending the homeland. of course, the increase in production will be a sent you over to the economic redevelopment of the don't. yes. for public

the we have finally reached our destination. they took us maybe an hour and a half to get here. the last leg of the journey was particularly difficult. the visibility was very low and ad quarter to was pull. we had to move, i guess, mosques to be able to breeze properly. now here you can see where the cold is come like a combined the men working at further up here who using pneumatic drills on explosives is taken from his some 300 meters or more down the page where it is in the code is transferred on the conveyor belt that we saw earlier up to the surveys. now it's

very hard to imagine that it's very simple thing here that to the industrialization of the region of the soviet union on the days of the world as a whole. we spoke with the deputy head to the next republics, coal mine is union. he says local workers with the 1st to take up arms against the crating, the military back in 2014. the key of said is false as into the region following the west and back to the might on could in the national capital, a bullet bulletproof not stiff. this is actually an oprah place. we had more than 15000 trade union members today, the 8th and the whole 1000 dose of the way. there were several reasons folders. hostilities are in full swing to the right. some people have left coupons in mines have closed down. and now some minus a, fighting at the front end. it was the miners who with most active in support of the don't best people. and it was they who went to slave young to defend it. yes,

they had to retreats, that what law says, but it was the mine is who for that? the full, the conflict started. the 1st thing independent ukraine did was to start closing down mines. i will give you a specific example. there was a mind that nearby cold patrol boat 49000000 reading is when needed for its development for they gave 49000000 to close it down here is the policy of the ukranian authorities at that time in relation to the coal industry. and also at that time, many mines and even knew the build ones were closed. when the hostilities began. all mines where heavily shells in the even being shelves today due to the shape loose skin sea of mind, which mines will be at the level. but didn't mind $300.00 tons per day, and it was completely shell. so if you had the opportunity to drive to the patrol ski district, if you would see how many hits that were on the mine building for more than one

shell today, the sco shanaski mine is on the constant shelley. in that case, we were forced to close the bunch of sky mine because he was also under shelling and the mines was initially sheldon flooded and we pumped water out of them, restore them and restarted them. we've been defending our rights since 2014 to the present day. it simply cannot be otherwise because what is happening in ukraine is clearly visible. there are 2 factors here that you generally on this stand on global adventure. i will say the united states has its own tentacles around, has a developed network of agents. they did everything that russia missed at one time each. so it'd be a republic including ukraine, has remained with itself and that sold hardy place is never empty. that's what the government's has been exercising and continues to exercise. it is purely freshest power today, and it will never go. they simply cannot agree to

a peace treaty because it is being controlled by others. but i think that today it is impossible for russia to agree to a peace treaty. but if the talk is about negotiations, then they should be with only one condition that they splashes aegis, which is inside ukraine, a must be destroyed. and then if we had not stopped, we would have done everything our selves. so all the manpower of all people has been taken away. so naturally today don't pass region is not able to defend itself shortly. come what they did in 2014 and on doing now is unforgivable. but the fact that they constantly keep saying, we will put you behind bumped while we will shoot you. we don't need you here. we need your land. what else should we do today? which is protecting our family all land. nothing else. any people in this situation would behave like this, or they will naturally fight and beats the enemy before

a family. you can see more of us thanks when he's report online at all t dot com for the meantime. thanks for sharing your time. but that's for the traditional sunday weekly program. returning for you at the top of the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. the only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk
