the people have been steadily gathering in the countries capital need me to express support for the nation's leadership. some health signs the 9 think friends, while you have seen there are others holding and waving russian flags seemingly to express thanks at most of those security efforts against insurgents in the region. we heard reaction to events on the streets. the we came out today to tell the national community that we stand with our ami, 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 are suffering 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. who distorted this is a historic day and niger following the crew. we are on this morning of july 30th, 2023 out of place of consultations with our many men and women and young people who have come out and mass to this historic location in the capital b. i may because they are here to support the soldiers gather that the national security council to say no to france and yes to russia, as well as no 24 and military rule and no to equal was. those are the messages of the people who have come out here on this day. on earlier, the west african block of nations known as equal was threatened military intervention in niger if the us that president watson, reinstated within a week in the event asada to use the months i'm not met within the why don't we

take all measures necessary to restore constitutional before the end of the public company should such measures may include the use of force, west africa, new does reject that the military take over in the south and florida, the immediate release and reinstatement of president mohammed presume within 7 days . and of course right seems to use force if co leaders do not comply and also allows sanctions including closing board us with major fries and assets and tropic bands. but while we have course meet in house, in a bu, jeff, thousands of support. busy march, in the sure, in support of the crews protest on wednesday. so just of the presidential costs all suddenly sherry and pricing for soon and have seen held him hostage for soldiers set. but the season was due to the prevailing security and economy changes in the country and is your husband bottling on the militants and local bandits for years

on friday, the military hunter named general durham main shandey as the leader of the new transportation council, says 2020 west africa has been seen military takeovers included in gaining molly and what kind of fossil nigeria, the delivery to in niger is closing plenty of concern within both the european union and the economic community of west africa. so we can find out more about why, particularly as so on the very latest on the volatile situation in the country along with the i guess something else. we're close the following today. a war of words as a ruptured in east asia with china as defense, ministry accusing japan of quote, threatening regional security and stability. and come shortly after tokyo had brenda but showing this presented by badging as unprecedented. and it's great to

strategic tests. this is what china is foreign ministry spokesperson have to say in japan's new defense drug to defend seen vents only by peaceful c pounds. new defense white paper grossly interferes in china's internal affairs. wantonly smears china is normal, national, defense, development and construction. and naval and air military activities deliberately exaggerates the so called china threat and creates tension in the region. the chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and it is made solemn representations. the japanese side relationship between china and japan is approaching boiling point space to japan's, the latest documents which sets out their future defense plans and names, china as an unprecedented and the greatest strategic challenge to the country. why? or here's an excerpt from the 2020th, we've defense white paper on why tokyo thing spacing is such that spreads chinese

rapidly enhancing this military capability, quotes doubly and quantitatively including nuclear and me. so for us as well as continuing an amplifier and it's, you know, actual changes to the status quo by force and such attempts in the east china sea and the south china sea. this call is as tokyo, is planning itself to significantly increase defense spending. so we'll take a $322000000000.00 over the next 5 years. and this is not a new trend, the court into the chinese to claim that japan doesn't face any security threats yet. it has really increasing its defense budget for over a decade. now, and this is just the tip of the iceberg news on which ones. and in recent years, the japanese side has continuously increased its defense budget, revised us defense policy and sort of break through in military development, which is a rouse, strong concern in the outside world. as to whether it's still adheres to the past of peaceful development, we urge the japanese side to earnestly respect the security concerns of its

neighboring countries. deeply reflect on its history of aggression, stop exaggerating the security threats around it, to find an excuse for its own military expansion, and when the trust of its asian neighbors in the international community with practical actions. china has reasons to be suspicious. the last time japan called the country a threat, it resulted in an invasion in 1931 and again in 1937, china is mentioned 64 times in this new 510 page documents which follows a brand new and controversial national security strategy which was adopted in december, no longer limits in japan's use of force to self defense. naturally, the chinese are wondering why and taking into accounts the japan has always been closer to washington. well, china, what's closer to russia, it makes you wonder, especially after jo bivens announcement that washington will be shipping

$345000000.00 in military 8 to taiwan. so washington, his army, taiwan, and was passes japan as part of its biggest, the military build up since world war 2. and it's all somehow was fault because according to the white paper, china may become inspired by russia strategy in ukraine. such as russian aggression is tolerated. it could send a message with the rolling blood cation that unilateral changes to the status quo by force are acceptable in other regions as well. include in asia. therefore, the international community, including japan, should never tell the rate watcher as action farther more through rushes, deepening cooperation with china and other factors. this may have an impact on global affairs, including the development of the strategic competition between the united states and china and its impact on a late. so for its part for you is japan for being the alliance has closest partner

. i'm think tokyo ford supports of ukraine while expressing concerns about china's heavy military bill dots. well, no surprises there. rather another case of dash, i've moved with potentially devastating the facts because as history talks, nothing good can come from such significance military expansion. in addition to words of support and encouragement from nato, mixed in with substantial military age from washington. as some have said before, it's a classic recipe for disaster or political ellis and regional lager likes, reports of phase tokyo stone. some beijing of an immediate challenge is a type of political maneuvering, perhaps encouraged by one particular extra elector. i think the end of japan is trying to look out for its best interest itself and also partnering with united states over the last 3 or 4 decades. it's very common for japan to have this very

anti china tone. of course, china is building up its military presence as it should as it's a solver nation. but when we're dealing with japan, well, japan is probably looking for uh, i would say more new weaponry from united states to, you know, bring it's military up to speed. i don't think it can really say that china is a threat in the region. just those statements alone is disco. ludicrous? yes. this is japan. kinda throwing up the flags saying, look at us. we're in a vulnerable position yet, not one instance has happened between these nations in decades. it's just, you know, beating the drums and potentially trying to, uh, you know, gives us more excuse to arm tie one, which i think is japan's kind of well will say to maybe there ultimatum here. got to remember, china has not been any conflict since 1979. this military may be tested here in

china, but i can guarantee you that it is well equipped. it hasn't had to be in part of a conflict and a to spend billions of dollars preparing for what potentially lee could be one major conflict coming up in the near future. the possibility of the west severing trade ties with china is nothing but an allusion. that's the assessment of the french finance minister, who sees the level of dependence on certain imports is just too high. what totally opposed to the idea of the copland? the copland is an illusion. there is no possibility of having any kind of the coupling between the american european and chinese economists. dear is convinced that we want to be more independent. we realized with the cold with crushes that we have too much dependence on some very specific components. and the ministers remarks came in an interview following comments from a number of western states about limiting their dependence on ranging as a trading partner, image security concerns. the recently put forward

a plan designed to cut the dependency on chinese in ports in areas such as critical rule materials, digital check on health. but minneapolis believe such a move as wishful thinking. as engine remains europe's largest imports park there. but senior fellow, well, they've been doing base type and since you think tech i not tongue and believes the french finance ministries just being realistic as cutting off china would spike inflation and could trigger a global find out. you know, what you're seeing is, uh, the french being very realistic and saying that they're going to do what is necessary to maintain trade with both the us and china and not get caught between them. in essence, not giving it into washington's desire for them to be all in one way or the other quality disasters, especially for the country like germany, which is already going into recession. they are very, very export oriented, but it would also affect france and many of the other nations in terms of market

access. and you'll note that uh, just recently when bruno law murray was in china, he was talking about the additional access for a french company's not limited cost of trying to reproduce what china does would be faster article. it would lead to increased inflation. but they would have to rec, protection as barriers. this would lead to, you know, a global, financial and trade meltdown similar to what happened during the crash of 1929 in the aftermath of that. so it's not realistic, they understand that, but there has to be adjustments made so that countries can trade freely with both china and also the united states. a longer related scene, the use introduced new regulations intended to reduce dependency on mineral imports from outside the block. unable,

instead tried to source more of them from within. the could have a big impact on exports for a wide range of african countries. then use you trade regulations will affects $34.00 critical and 17 strategic materials, including the likes of copper. coal both untied medium, but they are used in the manufacture of electronics from mobile phones and laptops to our across parts of this space industry. the rules will also affect foreign exchange debt repayment, those employed in africa to mine, the commodities, former statisticians general, all the side. i forget probably the whole class fears the move could significantly affect global trade in prices. yeah, to me the constraints the fast these that the cheap materials that'd be good for offered for well, for got if they don't accept exports, will not be available to them. so that price level in dc. see right, so to magic, got a 2nd thing is that did the consumption market that they used to have?

if africa, we will disappear because relative to the price level, it seems i forgot that at exports very much more expensive. but we have you as a market, it's quite a big market decipherable market and the advance, the one that we get brody and everything, the better. they have an easy population. they reach then wex, i gaze the gems of our consumption of losing services and they cannot that easily be best. the fidgeted you 8 that they have. so you don't have a few t as a that's such as he's not going to where it's more intuitive. he started you out of, um, the, and the did you the production or the nation connection. but it was a way to take it for another piece to a 50 as well for it. first the nation's eh, you up, we lose all that you will lose sitting still i had this news

our a quarter silver approval for the young palestinian employer who are hoping music and melodies. can trump misery? may i live in west tay choose for that's more later in the the well let's turn attention now to the ukraine conflict where the security situation around europe's largest nuclear power plant this central, named tense. the kremlin has more than that to you may try to attack this up and rosie a sight while ukraine claims russia has wired the plants with explosives, something else to that's raising the current tensions, rushes saves you printing and surveillance drones. i've recently been seen in the area. the spike keeps trains that's most coast threatening though of europe with a legit plans to destroy the funds. a recent visit by the you ends at totemic energy watchdog fund no explosives there. after rush, it took control of the facility in march last year. it was partly shift time for safety reasons. when we heard from a senior figure out,

the russian nuclear power plants operates or rough scenario, go out some who believes the accusations against moscow or not based in reality. a way of doing, you know, let's use case you get any accusations of the russian federation has attacked the separation nuclear power upon a known since accusing us of creating a dangerous r. and is a show of all be as primitive a bias. the desire of the united states to create a source of universal evil from russia, as well as a line to misinform the world community. they have a double stand is 1st of all, of course, the americans and your suffers from the same thing. this is part of the state philosophy. they do not know how to do things differently. the task is to not solve problems but to generate them. this is why they behave like this. they only made the threat to nucleus safety in the context, all these upper region nuclear power plants is the key every gene and those who script and direct the actions of it. but key as long before the military operation was launched is not a subject. and this is one of the main problems of such

a long development of this complex because it is the united states and europe. they're the ones who are interested in this conflict, deepening and continuing for as long as possible. in general, we understand and support the i a e a's proposal to create the security side. how it will be implemented is another mass, a one, the principles voice by the i. e, a secretary general, that no shot should be fine at a nuclear power plant is correct. another thing that is, unfortunately without international legal mechanisms to implement this principle, it turns into nothing more than a good wish. therefore, the absence of these legal principles gives rise to risk because raising the issue of weakening the combat protection of the physical perimeter of the plant will ultimately create additional threats to nuclear security. of course, any of our weaknesses or weakening will be instantly used by those who organize all these terrible experiments with the nuclear power plant. taking into account and assault hillary shilling attempts to commit sabotage and all of the actions ended undermining nuclear safety. and the russian federation is responsible for the

safety of the plant. if you do not shoot yourself in the 1st, we will not agree to any decision that will be detrimental to the russian federation. a deadly past 24 hours inside the age, at least 44 people have been killed and close to 200 injured after a suicide bomber attacked a political raleigh in north western pakistan. on sunday, video footage shows overturn chairs and piles of shoes. andre collapse. roof in the aftermath of the floss with survivors being treated as a local hospital. the incident occurred during a tried at raleigh for an estimate movement and the run up to national elections later this year. no group has named responsibility for it, but a local branch of uh uses has previously targeted the party's leaders as they consider them. a paul states, a representative from the gel mia to lemma eastland party to monday, the 14th booth security after events. it all is how i list it. how would you mind

the government and the sort is still these terrorist attacks come on, people and innocent civilians are being targeted by the terrorists. we demand the government investigated these attacks and bring the terrorists into courts. the must be exposed and punished, is walk down there. around 400 people was that when the bomb went off, just near the stage of the pot to rally, to rescue the wounded eleanor called ministration. emergency workers and security forces have worked hard to buy your product off. at least 40 people have been killed in more than a 100, but wounded in a bond blast in the car area of barge or the explosion is alarming. as the vice prime minister of china was landing in pakistan to participate in celebrations of the 10th anniversary of the china pakistan's economic cord or the blast is considered a serious threat to the court or project. the bomb exploded during the proceedings of a worker's convention of the drum, yet really i met you slum party. hundreds were listening to the speakers there.

now it appears all the sagas on continuing headlined to run joe biden. psalms are beginning to make an increasing number of democrats nervous. some notable figures have even suggested its time to poll hunters, apartment presidential protection. let me say something that you never heard to republican member of congress say in the 4 years of the trumpet and ministration, which is that of hunter bite and broke the law. he should be prosecuted if he treated on his father's influence. he should be held accountable for that. the claims against hunter bide range from tax evasion to illegal alarms possession well, whistle blowers of being chewing up the dish. the dirt on his business date was his recent clean deal to avoid any jail time. recently fell apart, and he's also accused of selling political influence added to that's the discovery of cocaine in the oval office earlier this month. so plenty of accusations come

bite in juniors way. who has a history of drug use of the diction? will typical list of documentary filmmakers shown stone leaves the saga will cast a shadow on his father's future political hopes. it looks like it was quite a circus at the, the, the court hearing this past week where, um essentially, you know, 100 binding goes into court, expecting to just, you know, have a simple pre deal that's been worked out. and you really are suspicious because as you know, as we know, the d o. j basically works for his father has painted. and so that, you know, were suspicious of what kind of sweetheart plea deal. but the judge said no, i don't, i don't think this this deal works and i don't think you guys have really worked this out. so does he basically squash the police deal? and then you know, enter, play not guilty. so we're going to see, i think this could be very interesting because if there is tax evasion and a drug, i don't know how that that drug use fixed factors into it. but the weapons charge as well. i mean, all these things can, you know, can come up and really buy him,

but not as him. obviously his father is a comedy. it's dark comedy like, uh, you know, robert w the movie. i think it was called the my son hunter. i think it's, it's out it's, uh, you know, it's pretty, pretty decent little in the film about some of these things. some of these scandals are covered in there. so he did it in the set tier. i could dar comedy way because he kind of feel for hunter and that way, like this guy really is now what a disaster was crack smoking guy in his forty's and ok up with his brother's ex wife and having children with women. he is, even though i mean it's, it's sad he's is a character a can finally this news hour using the power of music to heal pain and bridge divides. that's what a young palestinian choir is seeking to achieve. it both sits songs to send out a message of peace and hope all the time and violence intentions in the west bank are rising again. ortiz, middle east, corresponding maria finance. the couple, listen for herself. they have voices of angels.

they come from a place where jesus is said to have been born with the songs no matter whether they are arabic, classic or medieval teams are full of heartbreaking feelings. checks the service of life is really hard to post time the face a little to fear a lot of problems with the occupation be content freely. our goal is to send a message to the home world, show in the score and paint, showing how we use those time facing these occupations. mikaela is the group's co founder hayes in italy, and he came here 20 years ago, out of curiosity. nevertheless, whenever i moved people abroad to say i was told that was a single word terrorism in i say, come up and use their own brain. how can you not realize how racist it is about a population to say that they are terrorist mikaela sees the project that is part

of an educational program as cultural resistance as well. the resistance in particular towards what's as a false perception of palestine abroad, which is the results of from the propaganda by those who impose the apartheid and often by the mainstream media and foreign governments . so for go along with that, the group has the 4 and 4 times and friends and just came back from italy. the travel, that's how most of the kids was the 1st time leaving palestine was a challenge. and the a lot like when we go, they don't take, utilize our best book. like what is it, what does it mean by this time? like, what's going through this and the even to go through. it's only like we went a couple of weeks ago and we like some for the last 2 days to go to

the country that it's 5 hours in the billing. then you so and acquires a record to our it was written by young and famous boy from guys and talley state in enclave on the mediterranean, in french, the what we want as palestinians to show to the other part of the world as we are in the humans, we love music, we love the 2 lives as, as the other people and we have a piece for the nation. the choir is made up of around 60 boys and girls, age age to 18 from bethlehem and heavy. that's exactly a big number. but they were present 3000000 palestinians living in the west bank

and more than 2000000 others from guys a wire wash, meaning they have a voice coming from the heart of the mailing stimulus, ration and see hards to resonate and send waves across the world, raising awareness about their daily hardship research at all to from palestine. and that's where we sign off for now from the ortiz room, but they are going underground cruise. they are just getting started to see who options go joining in today after they should because of the

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy on foundation, let it be an arms race, and it is often very dramatic. the only personally, i'm going to resist, i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk the i'm action redundancy and welcome back to going underground will go single around the world for dubai in the u. a at least one black sea green initiative ship was counting it.
