i'm time to sit down and talk the top headlines with off the international at the university and don't yet skills targeted and showed by ukrainian forces. we'll have a report from the scene shortly. paula is on need you out as an ultimatum and given by the regional, loved eco, was for the ministry to reinstate the ousted president. that expires today is also was local, is rejected. the idea of external interference from, from my point of view, the attack is unfounded. and should not take place for on the rights of democracy and in a democracy it's folks that have to take place. so there's no need to take up arms for that. india confirms the prime minister and the rental modi will attend the upcoming brick summit at south africa in person. contrary to claims who would only participate on

the right as we are running down. the week's top highlights here in the main headlines, a full this our 1st from the program to the story right now. it's an update. now the story of the drone that was down to by russian, that defense isn't it most ago, was it was heading towards the capital, the defense ministry size. it was another a time by you trying to carry out a terror attack on the city. i know casualties or damage reported. the safety reasons are most goes for look of an apple it located close to where the drone was shot down was close to will flights. however, just off the one p. m local time here and must go beyond the stand for no good. it has resumed its arrivals and departures from out to the latest from the embattled gone bad, so i don't yet the city has reportedly being hit by hundreds of shelves fired from ukraine in forces. we understand that local university was struck in the court fire

. the blaze was extinguished. earlier this morning, a correspondent is at the scene with more details on was believe 2 of being a cluster munitions attack don't yet city center has come under attack from ukrainian shedding once more, the series of explosions was heard as soon all to time pm on saturday evening now the 1st 2 or 3 of these ball sounded like aubrey artillery shuddering. but this was followed by a series of explosions, very, very close together, which is characteristic of cost of the nations. now, the preliminary report suggest that it was in a cluster munitions that have been using these latest deadly attack loose loose on the local us. we heard about 6 plus. it turns out that they were selling us in the beginning. we did not understand what has happened. glass flew everywhere. we got the kid ran into the hallway set down and he had, we got to see it 6 times costs and munitions for sure. that no military facilities

here. nothing like that. and for my family went to take them, we didn't know right away. so as the shelley felt like a terrible shock waves, though it was incredibly loud, our son started to scream, we're run after him and hit in the bathroom. then we saw that the building of the university had been shout. i actually worked there. this showing is unbelievable. so the 1st time that they have been used earlier on saturday, in 86 year old women was killed on the outskirts of don't yet city, due to costa, munitions, not much you can see, but behind me, i huge far is underway at the university building this is the economy and trade department, all the university emergency services on the same firefighters or working to get that blaze under control. but once people, this is a residential area, this is where all 3 people lived. there was nothing but it 2 presents here. there

were no, but it's we talk, it's a no, but it's the basis. so it's a very is a bearing the brunt of these caustic munitions that were recently supplied by the united states. this is space where you any and don't. yes, if you sent a faulty. meanwhile, the russian administrator defends has confirmed that a massive missile strike with long range air and sea base type precision weapons against the basis of the on forces of ukraine. a one of the attacks hitting an ad field, housing dozens of 5 to address as we understand. now, earlier on saturday, i must go condemned a ukrainian naval drone attack when our russian oil tanker just off the coast of crimea, officials reported no casualties. the ship remains afloat with emergency services. they were there to monitor the situation. the russian foreign ministry hit basket a claim from ukrainian officials, but any vessels in russian bucks the ports are legitimate. talk a. hi, steve, chief se mandukes essentially claimed responsibility for the debt or doc as an

typical ukrainian new nazi in humane fashion. he called the cynical terrorist act aimed against on our and civilians, lawful logical and effective move. the international community can once move with this, the so called lawfulness practiced by key as well. that was the 1st attempted attack on crimea. this week on thursday night, the ukrainian drawing strike was prevented with 10 of the units destroyed by defenses of 3 of those. what central being suppressed by electronic ball fast systems, again, with no casualties reported. but earlier in the week, drones also twice hit the moscow city international business center. the russian defense ministry, calling it a ukrainian terror attack. we were discussing this with independent dutch john. this is sonya bonded and she believes the targeting of moscow is an attempt to distract from ukraine's lack of success on the battlefield. or i think it's an act of desperation because what we will know is that you crane is losing

a little bit to suit. we don't hear anything in western media anymore about the battlefield actually. yeah, this is an ethical terrorism in my opinion, and this is what we saw in this engine to be a visual as a firestone where the u. s. 5 is drones all the way from do you ever need to kill people? so i mean, it's possible to do it from a long range. that's it. that's what we know. so it's, it's a distraction. it's like a p r stones. what your brain is doing to distract from the real problem. and the real problem is, even though they have a lot of material from the west to lots of things. and so they're not winning on their maybe. yeah, they, they're not winning. they don't have enough manpower. this is also what we know. so it's a distraction from the real situation. the clock is ticking for nice. yeah. as an ultimatum, given by the regional book, eco was for the ousted president to be reinstated. that expires today. and that's as low makers from neighboring nigeria vos,

that president to use old diplomatic means to avoid any type of military intervention. if you more details now with the nigeria and john list, timothy a b s no make hasn't majority of them? you know, by some estimates around 90 percent of the law because object types of, of presidents. um, you know, the piece demand, since i've not made best part of this finished here, approves the cost resolution which intrudes, you know, a possible military's answer bank said in the advance price. um, you know, the coup block, a student not responding. president mohammed pursue them to power with no type last sunday at quest site was given a 7 day or to make some for uh that so just set the post office press cumbersome to restore him as the late you to make a party in that country. they also mention was given last sunday as i said, it expires today. the eco boss defense chaves apparently already have drawn up a plan for some kind of military action. if the 2 leaders do not return the elected

president mohammed, but soon to power from says it will support any military intervention to overtime. the crew, however, locals in egypt, i say they are firmly against any kindly of external interference in the nation. but more by saying that for my point of view, the attack is unfounded and should not take place for on the rights of democracy and in the democracy and talks that have to take place. so there's no need to take all bombs for that. i said in the the, i don't think that that they continue share in the near future will be limited economic sanctions finish here and people will suffer south india is a prime minister in the rental modi will attend the upcoming brick summit in south africa that will be done. so in person, the news was confirmed this week, following a phone call between moody and the south african present instead of kind of fossa, a few more details here with a correspondence the injunction. a multi does spoke about the 7 topics. in fact,

uh, the notate progress seen by lots and cooperation between india on south africa as both nations celebrate the use of the bilateral relationship. also, as for the notes that we received from the bmo, both leaders spoke about the preparation of g. 20 in you debbie. the range of will be said that we see him and in fact, to solve applicants rather than shared with him. the separation of the brick summit, which we t please the tab this month. but the main point to be driving us in that range and will be, have confirmed you in for some focus of patients in the brick somewhere in johanna's word, which will take fees later in august. now this a force point to reach to the speculations and speculated reports in those western media. again, i know those speculated reports that we've seen during the wrong is that india is a full 6 fashion brakes. will em useful paulson and india denied you?

almost all of these speculations, seeing that india has no reservations, as far as some vix, expansion is concerned. and india, things that as long as all the members of the block this we've consensus say there's a full no worries in the offering. no one has complained about the coverage that is received in the west and with a lot of the india stories. so to say a narrative boomed by the west and media box with such reports really lacking any facts whatsoever. where does that leave the plat, ability of the west and media? perhaps the question best also apply them with a russian has cooled out. so in western partners for exacerbating food insecurity in the global south, the message came with a un security council meeting on thursday with most coach deputy and boy accusing wisdom countries of hypocrisy when it comes to the food process. what's the use of

your colleagues from developing countries? this do not flatter yourselves because the habits and methods of the former colonialists have not changed because it is only their packaging. but as a change for every dollar spent, allegedly for aid, they will demand you replaced them with your sovereignty. many african states have already clearly felt this victim and they do not want to put up with this approach . this seems to interfere with mister barrels precious to sleep. as he has today, suddenly decided that by selling green at low prices, russia allegedly makes its buyers addicted. i will not even comment on this delusional logic of the chief of your diplomacy. for my son, i was only saying that the facts are not in his favor. russia has never considered it africa through asia or latin america as a space for extracting profit to senior people. you absolutely do not give

a damn about the interest of the countries of the global south wind. but i must go, is repeatedly exciting westland countries failed to keep to the side of the bulk and with a black sea grain deal company must go to suspend the initiative last month. it also says key f is exploited the c car at all is for military purposes. rochester, it is ready to resume the deal, but only offers demands all met. that includes the lifting of sanctions on russian grain and fertilizes. must go with us. that is very happy and ready to provide grain full free to the country. is it needed that much swell? earlier this week, the u. farm policy chief, joseph burrell, he called out russia for quote, pretending to solve a problem. it created itself, us the secretary of state anthony blinking echo those comments. i think the great example of yemen was seemingly overlooking what was washington's rolled in that process across is that has been cold by some the biggest man made disaster. any

recent history to keep in mind, this initiative never should have been necessary in the 1st place. only was necessary because of russia's invasion of ukraine and its blockade of ukrainian ports. but the initiative produced concrete, the monster triple powerful results in making sure that these food products could continue to get to world markets. going up to those who needed and human. some families have reported and resorted to boiling leaves to stay alive. they call it salmon food the most the world ex, keen to fasten south through them. somalia could all experience famine next year. the argument is that russia pulling out of the d over reveals cruel heartlessness. people are starving and a hazy and a young man, but russia does not care what us officials failed to mention is this a ports left open onto the deal were being used by you?

frightening and forces the set of strikes on crime? mia? and of the ammonium pipeline that was promised was never opened up and essentially ukraine was not fulfilling its end of the bargain. but these facts just don't seem to be important for washington. the absurdity of the allegations from the united states against russia. it gets more blatant when you look at the facts of american agriculture. in springfield, missouri, for example, the u. s. government stores billions and billions of dollars worth of food in a refrigerated underground cave to the us department of agriculture currently has $1500000000.00 pounds of cheese, as well as $355000000.00 pounds of butter. and 211000000 pounds of the cons. nice and refrigerated under ground. why? apparently for no other reason and just to inflate the prices american agribusinesses fuller schemes just like this to keep the price is high and profits

rolling in for american agribusiness divide. ministration has even been expanding a program that encourages and compensates farmers for not growing food on airable land. the conservation reserve program was started in 1985 thousands of american farmers get a check from the government, compensating them for not growing food and not using airable land that they own. the us department of agriculture rents 21000000 acres of land for 10 years at a time. the buying the administration is currently expanding the pro ram because of climate change. they say. so if the u. s. government biden and blank, and really care so much about those haitians and yanna is perhaps they should arrange for all of those billions of pounds of food to be packed up. and they could have the u. s. navy carry out a speedy delivery. the podium, pounding, blending russia for the food crisis in places like yemen,

where the united states is pretty wrapped up. involved and responsible is highly disingenuous to say the least. it requires ignoring key facts about the global food situation. caleb martin, r t new york. it is the 2nd day of peace talks and saudi arabia over the conflict in ukraine, and more than 40 countries of taking pod, although not russia, which was not invited. a key is expected to present his own proposals and consisting of 10 points. moscow is repeatedly said that can be no peace in ukraine without certain security guarantees for russia. china, which has taken a neutral stance over the country to set a representative to the talks in jetta. now there is a lack of international consensus over ukraine during recent meetings between the e u and the community of latin american in caribbean states that was openly of big failure and just simply a grading on a joint statement. and a senior brazilian official says there are still many hurdles to overcome a yes,

a lot of the, the regular round of talks and saudi arabia and will be a follow up to the copenhagen meeting during which ukraine invited developing countries to negotiate for the 1st time however, t of nearly wants to discuss its own proposal during the discussion involving major developing countries such as india, south africa, brazil, saudi arabia, to some extent, and even needle member turkey a. it became clear that it is impossible to shape a consensus around the ukrainian and proposal. what are some countries that like mexico simply refused to join? the jetta talks over russia's admission, the international director of the el, put that down on new site that denise that i've yet to believe others, my phone number that lead. and that's the thing. no point in having these types of leasing questions, use one on the 2 major parties in conflict. he's not present and, and the mexico is one of the is a seems to be one of the major companies,

my major gomez, that actually understands this basic concept. i believe, and i believe we actually gonna see a domino effect from, from some of the decision of i'm just me all of us over and over to not attend to the summit on the phone or from next on the summit. i believe we're actually going to see more and more countries demanding that russia were also invited. i believe that the, i believe the brazil, south africa, columbia isaac fascination india will, will also demand that russia to be present at these, at this negotiation. so it's like i said, the do a basic concept of diplomacy and negotiations. these for the 2 of us from the 2 parties and for informing conflict to be present the at the same at the same time. otherwise we can accept. so within those sense,

washington has an als to $345000000.00 in weapons assistance to tie one. it is it moves it will, most certainly further exacerbated tensions between washington and beijing. now the news comes just by various us officials having travel to china and increasing the monster trying to smooth advertise the bite and basically our wrist. reckoning all that back in june equal president gigi. bring a dick tell you to washington claims that it's finally committed to. it's one china policy, but when it comes to ty, one, some i'll give you the profit is being put before practice as well. that's because the move will be more good news with the us alms industry, which is already of course, caching and, and ukraine located, for example, is made around a $2300000000.00. so 5 by restock, independent, gone, and recently published the figures show contracts to replenish us weapons sent to ukraine. was nearly $10000000000.00. open elsewhere. correspondent, why am i a shot? who's been looking at how was around the world

a big business for that hope. the military industrial con view was, may claim that they bring a law into this world. but the so called soft power is not particularly on their list. so let's explore one of the things that america has to offer the world. you guessed it, guns would exports from the us more than doubling over the last 6 years. so much so the country is accused of contributing to terrorism and violence across the globe to, to go to the munition from the us, have to come on, traceable, and even ended up in the hands of terrorists and extremist groups posing a great threat to regional and international peace and stability. i was even more troubling is that the us weapons intended for ukraine have found their way into the hands of mexican cartels, further accessor bathing crimes. now, the mexican government is taking matters into its own hands and has filed the lawsuit against major us arms manufacturers and distributors this to alleges that

negligence. has you, the bloodshed in mexico by category. and so the countries criminal under world what we want is an injunction to make these defendants start to pay attention to the distribution system. and it's on the u. s. costs that can provide that injunctive relief. but this is not confined to the cartels, the low tire land is known to be the largest in border of us fire arms, which saw the worst episode of gun violence and its history. the last year when 36 people were killed by a madman with a us supplied gun us weapons left behind in afghanistan have re surface in a separate conflict army militants in the region of kashmir. the

fatality and now has more black hawk helicopters than 85 percent of the countries in the world outside and isis k still exist in our growing and afghanistan. and eventually they acquire these weapons. that's in addition to the weapons supplied by america to sodium ravia, keeping the war hot in human, global repercussions of us arms exports have very serious questions about their effects on your national security and stability. we use the country have been focused on stopping the pool of ration of weapons of mass destruction. but if you look at how civilians died in armed conflicts around the world, it's hard not to conclude that the try weapons of mass destruction are these small arms that are subject to the fewest controls. and rather than addressing this issue, us officials seem to prioritize the interest of arm suppliers who have leverage government ties to influenced regulatory change. there are fewer registration

requirements, less of a side, more exemptions and significantly co tailed congressional review. it was essentially a give away to gun manufacturers a few years ago and it seems to have worked well as us arms exports ro there. widespread presence in crime scenes across the world is likely to do the same while the gun industry rips the benefits. innocent lives are lost forever. when we talked about arms, i think we need to, we need to be specific, you know, break it down. if we're talking about selling combat aircraft, high dollar items, i think that yes, united states is, is number one. they were more preoccupied with getting the, the weapons into ukraine without worried about doing the proper accounting. the just the fact that criminal gangs can't get what they want, you know, is, shouldn't, shouldn't surprise any bias we've known for over

a year. that there were no affective control supplies. and i think that will be one of the legacies of this war and ukraine, that weapons, that should not be in the hands of the se, terrace groups or national liberation are going to be used and can be used against civilian targets. south africa will not be dictated to of a who it does business with that was the message from the countries um pass it up to the brick some group this week. who's that for toria will know cavan to what they called washington's pressure to stop using equipment from the chinese tech jayenne. while away. if there was tremendous pressure on us from the us to stop using the waterway network, it is banned in the us and a major part of europe has banned chinese technology sees, the more things change the more they stay the same. this has been a returning issue since the 2019 when the american presence. ready has been done on

the fuck was intend on going to increase the bucolic war with china and she declared china public. ready the number one for all countries that really do business with the, with the american government and enterprises, this were to choose between china and the united states. so of course, i'm going to say general way events that i was attending baghdad, as he said, and i quote, the south africa development will not be held back due to american jealousy. and that they will to the best technology part of the have. and at the time, he said that that was one way only 3 weeks ago was the source that another hallway event in south africa where you was opening the innovation center and again the canary. why south africa shouldn't be choosing to have one week. i think development todd, now some of the information that you've made,

particularly when it comes to 5 g. and this has not been isolated only to the world of geo products. it says it was south tough because c e os of the major set of homes companies wrote to sell it off with a back injury to 19 to clearly that they us taking clarity when it comes to the issue. all which part of a can choose to, to, to really venture into some of the, some of the developments that have been happening in the world of technology such as a r, as such as 5 g. and they found that one way had lead for its competitors. and that it made sense. simple story, as you know, while it has been invested in south africa since 1998 said this comes as nothing new as they uh now the leading technology pod not here the in the process of opening that sort of data center and like the americans will only beginning to build one now with amazon web services building in states off and the miles ahead

in sense of what they can, what they take knowledge while we technology can do in terms of carrying forth some of the development issues that we have here. and the issue of someone taja and espionage has really been unfounded dimensions of it is with regards to that. but not only that talk because there's that wall and has been able to offer them a information. and the tax software is something which is a very intensive, localized in the said storage of the, of that data. and it's being stored right here in the country with a 3rd one opening up. and the china needs to be more invested in south africa and less, less service with regards to how they should go about developing themselves for the future. so i just start wrapping up the sounds edition of the weekly program here on oxy international oss, on the program running down the highlights of the week end of today with the manual

highlight. still to come at the top of the hour with my colleague union o'neill, you will be right here at the desk. i do hope you can join him the, the the,

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, the welcome to wells of far as the americans have many sounds gratifying that a torres of why they and only they are supposed to be at the top of the international packing order. there was leading democracy, shining sweetie on a hue and benevolence of jam on all to support the idea that in the final analysis, they have an inborn, paid all good 15 know and decide what's best for the rest. and as order and peace

preserving, as this positioning wishes to appearance is bound to lead to conflict or to discuss that amount of joint from canada by victor. talk to you for teachers to come towards the university of edmonton mixer is great to talk to thank you very much for your time. thank you for the invitation. i saw nice pleasure to be in this program. make sure you have a very interesting take on the current tensions between russia in the west, which ultimately comes down to the sides. deep seated perception of themselves and the nature of reality, which you summarize as the u. s. as in systems on being the 1st among, equals and rushes claim on being and they quote among 1st, do you think such a clash will self image is could be a result this fully? well i, i, i cool right where it can be, but of course it is problematic given the how deep this cultural difference is
