the, the, the niger reportedly refuses to accept the try last road mediation mission from the you in the african union. echo was briefing i meant scripts of military intervention that those neighboring molly coals for, i'd side powers know to intervene. they're ready to go and attack a silver and country that's a new sherry and problem and is up to new jersey to solve it is not up to africa to intervene. the tensions he tells me enough for a french senator to send a joint letter to the money on my call questioning the president's policy on the continent and also a head on the program today marks the 15th anniversary of the military conflict. i

rested in 2008 in georgia. i tried to retake the break away region of start the set to the line from an international new studio here in moscow. this is are too great to have your company. let's get into our top story. nigerian new military leadership has reportedly rejected an offer of a visit from the united nations. echo was on representatives from the african union . naomi points to the quote, current context of under following the sanctions imposed on their country. a new prime minister has also been appointed the day after the week long. the ultimatum from the regional block echo was ended. the grouping had threatened the west african nation with military intervention. what people from neighboring molly say, it's up to night here, notes art siders to solve their own issues. how does he get that money?

always just for them to fail the same faith, they're ready to go and attack a southern country, which according to his people don't like that present. that's a new sherry and problem and is up to need yet to solve. it is not up to africa to intervene, while the commitments of molly and burkina faso can change things. today they are military powers. if you see molly speaking like this is because molly and these here are similar, are in the same boat as something in the text message here in the fix molly as well . i do not believe that there will be an intervention with the military intervention. i'm convinced there will be chaos these after a war. there are inevitably consequences. whitehouse being a shambles. show us 4th night for niger following the crews. and over through of the government, there was an immediate condemnation from much of the international community, while front b, e. u. u. s. cut off or financial aid. now dothan,

rage locals who took to the streets and storm, the french embassy. then eco walls gave a 7 day deadline to the 2 leaders to reinstate the president or face military intervention. the optimum though wasn't met. another grouping will hold another meeting on thursday. no equal was or the economic community of west african states consist of 15 members, including nigeria, which along with molly burkina, faso and guinea have been suspended from the block after all going through the cruise. well, those nations have also back nice years, new authorities. it was for its part has since stopped all sorts of functions on the country and threatened to lead to intervention a lip i gave, we pointed to allow the use of the disruption. all the ridges means pulse,

democratic consolidation in the region. it was a small boy and to tell the truth, loved it. when on the way where we are going to strike. that's it's a whole police load. this is saying that to be taken by the hassle, see, what will you to be like the palm of this and t fault this operation? well, nigeria is present bulletin, new bill has ordered electricity to be cuts to neighboring nice year. he's also being one of the strongest advocates for military intervention, but didn't significantly wind over the senate, which rejected his call. despite condemning the legitimacy of night, here is new rulers, then nigerian leaders own record has been called into question in a recent report. by the appraisal investigative, you have, just over and over throughout his political career, the, these huge corruption scandals that have somehow not managed to destroy his,

his political career throughout this process. he keys been meeting repeatedly according to what you weeks cables that i reviewed with the u. s. embassy and that's is officials and basically briefing them over and over again on the political landscape in nigeria, the us investor at the time said that his assessments have been very useful for, for the americans. and so you have to wonder, you know, why was bullets you need to never indicted in the united states? why was he allowed to keep so much of the initially seized money from his bank accounts that was said to be involved in and, and drug trafficking is, is, what did what kind of deal was he able to strike with, with the american authorities and, and you have to also understand that bulletin abel is the perfect kind of imperial puppet for the united states. this is what they do over and over again is they find

a compromise to figure somebody that they can exert leverage on and they prop them up. and the 2nd that they become no longer useful they, they go after them and they get rid of them, they put them in jail or have them taken out, you know, so he, for, for, for what's going on in niger right now. and then in west africa, he's a perfect person for the united states because they can basically make him do whatever they want. the bigger problem here is that the nigerian senate has rejected his request to invade nice year. so he's, he's, it looks like he's trying to use his power at the eco, was the regional block that he chairs um to, to have it envisioned. and, and just uh, 2 days ago the eco was said that they would attack niger, but they won't. and now is when and where or how something else i'd like to point out nice year is a critical colleague and helping to keep the lights on in some european nations. in

fact, it's been the continents 3rd largest supplier of uranium for the past 2 decades, which is key for nuclear energy. i made the political turmoil and the west african country, former colonial ruler from census business as usual in that regard, must continue. here's the greys owens, alex rubenstein again in the future of western economies, at least in so far as western planners see it on rely on, on the exploitation of low wage miners in, in western africa. and, and so, um this, you know, the united states wants to do agree new deal that's gonna require rare earth minerals. the united states wants to keep funding the military industrial complex while they can't produce sophisticated weapon systems without this kind of stuff. and any, any kind of smart technology or,

or on course green technology relies heavily on this stuff. and so this, this is in many ways of battle for the future of economic dominance. what's that risk here is, is a regional proxy word. that is, is very dangerous. for, for, for not just west africa, but, you know, these things spill over. and i believe that this conflict in west africa has, has a potential piece despite a lot of control and, and brings us that much closer to world war 3 territory. while the u. s. has weighed into on monday, acting deputy secretary of state victoria, new and travel to niger where she had crew, difficult negotiations with some of the coordinators pressuring the reinstate that the post president to be wherever she met. neither with the state mohammed busing or the new leader general to shawnee and in the wake of washington cutting off funding and saves the flow of cash with risen as the new leadership steps. don of

the secretary announced on friday also that we are pausing assistance to the government for the time being um that assistance will affect the development a to the government security aid to the government. it's a significant amount. i don't have a number because it's a pause and it's a posit we would hope would be reversed if the who the leaders would step aside and restore constitutional order tomorrow. that pause would be uh the, the security deposit go away and security assistance would be reinstated. but as we've made clear, hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. as mentioned delegations from burkina faso of molly arrived in niger earlier in a show of support for the crew. the groups being led by a multi administer. and there's a prominent figure in the military takeover in his country and 2020. both nations

express their firm, barking for the new government and said, any military intervention by echo was, would be considered a declaration of war against all the par us. meanwhile, liter or non to it was suspending all a trooper tina for us. so after like a do good gave it's backing to the nice year, could we got reaction to the move from locals? it does that might help with us. you could even leave to say, it was really important, especially loanable populations. i think it's an opportunity for us to learn to detach yourself from this kind of support and try to get by on their own. i don't think i'm missing this helpful, really harmless. we have a lot of assets here that can allow us to feed ourselves. so if this help isn't there, i don't think it changes much for most of i just see the inevitably it will affect the economy. and i tell myself that the all people who are thoughts of how to fill that void, i'm afraid for the pull the key to be present. maybe the biased would increase.

again, we don't know the bus only and all it must be said that troy, a government is trying to finance itself. so hopefully the own solutions that were found long before this happened. and it is okay. we're saying that the hold of a programs will not go unnoticed, but little tough enough, and possibly due to the suspension, we will find alternatives that will allow us to get rid of this help goes together with conditions that are forced upon us. among the reaction we're getting to that was from malia and based political on the list. last to me who sees there are clear reasons why both bama co i'm brick you know fast. so our supporting nice year is new government, so they bought bought or are they molly and broken off? i so are not supporting these year for the sake of new share. this is a strategic issue. and these countries have realized that it is important for them . for their interest to be in the struggle together with me here in order to clearly demonstrate to some countries and also in particular to sub regional

organizations that they remain masters of the situation. it seems to me that these year and eco laws are unlikely to come to a peace agreement, the military take their positions. and i think fed thanks to meetings with the current authorities of molly. they haven't trench themselves in this position. the facts, and after the so called appeal issued by the military, 30000 people of new cher, gathered and filled the country's largest stadium that can prove the support of the people. to date, military intervention is the last resort that equal watch will decide unless the peaceful resolution of the conflict can otherwise be reached. but if it will intervene, the situation in these year will look like a game of survival. however, if there was no intervention and the military remains in their positions, i think the authority of eco was, will be undermined. and i think that equal was as well aware of this. and therefore, we'll do everything possible to break the chairs, military,

and wine. all eyes are focused on niger cut a similar situation via by to in full further east on the continent. if you'll be in security services, are claimed local militias or nothing. and over top of the government, there are 2 columns being delving into that check guides or analysis when you get the checks the well with tensions in this a health region about for go on the rise. some politicians and friends are in disagreements over the nations policy towards its former colonies. the dates in the chair yesterday, it was molly the central african republic brewing of a sort rejecting france french forces french companies. but we did not understand the pollution of french policy in africa on a military level, as well as on the level of john development or on the level of cultural and linguistic cooperation. today, the french africa yesterday has been replaced by the military russian africa by the

economic chinese africa and by the diplomatic american africa. and unfortunately, what do we have to say about the regression of the french language and conversion was english? well, let's hear now from par a space star to contribute our rachel marston. all not rachel? good to see you. yeah, the french senators not holding back in their condemnation of just what the country stands for today on the content that appears. so the authors of this letter are prominent center, right? send it are. so you could say their political descendants, a former president nicholas self cozy and of president jack. she hopped, who was so deeply in love with africa, that it created an entire museum in tribute to it, the music to keep only here in paris. so based on that or her dressing, friends present him under and back home now and then major national newspaper, the feed, yahoo! and they're doing it on behalf of 94 french parliamentarians. now what they want,

they say is a quote review of francis vision of africa and links to the content because it's all just suddenly a big mystery to them as to what could possibly have gone so wrong. so the french defense minister responded to the letter, but basically say, failures, what failures you, big drama, queens i can't let it be sent. an operation by hand was a failure. our army has constantly pushed back terrorist groups in this a how saving thousands of lives there, but also protecting french people at home from the threat of attacks on our soil. my hand was not a failure. it is a mistake to say that. so apparently none of the use of french politicians know why africa would possibly turn to russia's wagner group for security services. when french troops were doing such a bang up job with counter terrorism and stability, that crews were happening left and right right under their noses in places like

molly guinea and for teen faso and new chair. and the west african region was just name the global at the center of terrorism by the institute of economics and pieces 2023 global terrorism index and need yeah, as an added bonus, even got a special mention in that report for its terrorism. 3rd, so big gold star for france, there is a plumber, arrived at your home and ended up trashing it under the pretext of fixing your toilet. you just might end up coming to the conclusion, but either be really sucked to this job or else maybe you just had other motivations for being there. it was just earlier this year, the french president evaluated my call, tried rebranding terraces, africa strategy in an obvious effort. to have an excuse to just keep hanging out there. looks like this for me. what does it says on? i can all come to sit and read the objective from this new phase of this new era in which we're entering is to deploy our security presence in the partnership form so that it fits this new partnership toward the repetition of history. there is

another path. another path which consists not producing africa to a field of competition or profit. and then considering the african countries as partners with whom we shared interests and responsibilities. maxwell announced at the time that french military bases would basically be allowed to itself a dental fight, as schools co managed with africa ends and re branded as academies. he also played out some new friends, let initiatives in culture, sports health, digital technology and education all backed by a european team. he said in case there were any doubts as to the european union using france to wedge. open the door to ask because resource wealth, not whole repeatedly mentioned in partnerships with african civil society translation, french cash for n g owes to do francis bidding for it in africa. not who made a point of saying that this was all about not quote, taking people for imbeciles,

which is kind of like a big flashing read sign advertising. i thought, you know, i'm about to just that it's not like molly's foreign minister didn't spell it all out for michael and anyone else willing to listen? what exactly france was doing wrong in africa? i'll say that it's, it's up to fonts to assess the results of the operation. the objective of operation by con was deliberate molly from service groups and provide security, but i can see that 9 years later, the overall results. i see overall result because there were many players involved . the overall result did not meet the expectations of the people of molly and the region because we're only fighting terrorism in the north of the country. and now there are growing issues with terrorism in other 1000 areas. in molly, we see more and more into a communal violence which leads to a lot of depths at present. the situation in many countries of the region is

unstable. one cannot claim that tamales to blame here, probably itself separate from the invasion of libya by western countries. the results of the operation was not worth the effort and the money invested. this russell for a minister said gala rough also pointed out last year that former french for mister john eliza the y'all, and you chief different not use it broke. had told him that russia had nothing to do in africa. neither by the state means nor by private means because africa is an area of interest to be you and friends. maybe they should have just told by a problem that they licked it to like kids do with the entire box of chocolates or candy. just to make sure that russian knew that her belonged to them with this level of self awareness, it's all indeed just a big mystery as to why french seduction efforts have backfired in africa. every time we speak racial and just reminded her above, my french punctuation actually is. thank you so much,

terrific. stuff for bring this through. all that are to contribute or rachel mars know today marks the 15th anniversary of the tragic events of august 2008. when georgian forces made an attempt to retake the brick away region of sites oh set to the move, sparked a brief floor with russia and that hundreds of people that this treasure due for a cure. during the time of the former authorities, they did nothing to prevent our country from entering into this war. we have seen the shameful actions of the former commander in chief of john earlier in the shoe by our 2 correspond a double quarter who recalled the deadly events and how they're running vacations echo to this day a. so, 15 whole years have passed since georgian forces invaded south of sadie, and really this is still something fresh in the minds of many people from the 5 day war on all sides of the conflict. now to give our viewers

a bit of background on what happened the, this is caucasian republic. it declared independence from georgia and 1991 after enjoying a large degree of autonomy throughout the soviet period in tbilisi decided that it was going to retake this region by force and it led to a number of conflicts. the 1st one being in the early 90 is another one in 2004, and the last one being in 2008. when russia finally decided that it was going to step in on behalf of the south of study and people in defend them, a lot of fatalities as well. know, as you say, 15 years on the old, is there a consensus on who barry's responsibility really for what took place? well, there are uh, at the beginning it was, you know, pointing fingers essentially, i mean back then uh, the head of the georgia and government was the western backed president, mikhail 2nd smeeley, who said that russia was responsible for invading south a city of which was essentially his cast, this valley of moving georgia and troops into that area. however,

later we saw that a european union commissioned investigation actually showed that that could've been farther from the truth in the missions you. it was george i triggered the world. i need to back to all the heavy artillery on the night of 7 to 8 of august 2008. none of the explanations given by the georgia authorities in order to provide some form of legal justification for the at that was invalid. the explanation, in particular, there was no mass of russian military invasion underway, which had to be stopped by georgia military forces. showing sandoval not only was an establish that to the leasing, was the main instigator of this flare up in the conflict. but human rights watch also established that george and forces were very liberal when it came to indiscriminate artillery showing throughout this period. and this is something that, in any conflict means high civilian casualties. in a number of instances, george and forces use indiscriminate and disproportion force in our total results on surface area. and in some cases, use this proportion forced in their ground to salt. and the majority of this

instance is derived from georgia's use of multiple rocket launching systems which cannot distinguish between civilian and military objects in areas populated by civilians. many civilians were killed or wounded. so frustrated, right? everything is being shot at. there's no communications, there's nothing governors have mercy on this place. so far. we spent nearly 24 hours in the basement, just sitting there were here because yesterday georgians, a tech, the city and the suburbs. so we have new choice because our homes are in shelters, which we are glad to with the touch here. the thank you rusher for your help. nothing else to say. it's a real war out there in the city. no gas, no electricity, no communication, o relatives don't know if we're alive or not. so it's extremely just looking up. those people speaking how, how much i'm reminded of, of one unfolded and don't boss the same kind of speech. the same kind of english

looking for for loved ones is there, is there similarities with the ukrainian conflict to what happened inside the city? i would say so, i mean the, just the dispute over se city is still remains and it really, really looks like the way ukraine looked after. the mens protocols were agreed upon that which were supposed to establish a cease fire throughout this don boss conflict. we had a western back to government that came to key of came to power. and key of that, i decided to invade its former regions that had declared independence after that government came to power. and then 8 years of a very shaky cease fire that we now know was unsustainable. and that the west didn't even have good intentions to maintain. actually, and we haven't heard from the a chairman of russia state duma recently who said that both suckers, really and zalinski are basically to russo folds that are likely to go down the same road. we can look at suckers fairly. he ended up in jail after the west didn't have any more use for him. so it's obviously going to be interesting to see what

happens with zalinski once he makes perhaps a wrong move for the west. besides that, they don't want him in power anymore. okay. taking us through that today that on the for a c r t correspondent, double quarter, thanks to all the motion of no confidence as being debated in the indian parliament against the government of prime minister there when promoting it was the table by opposition parties with a vote expected on thursday, taking us through a potentially bruising political fight ahead in new delhi. here at ortiz ridge in charlotte, or in the next few days today or tomorrow in the off. so we will see the opposition corner of the government in the indian fatherland and the beach on several topics where they feed all the shortcomings of the government. now no confidence motion is basically to test whether the government of the day enjoys the majority of the house or not. and if the government does not come on the majority,

then it can not see in problem. so for example, say if the more the government wants to lose the no confidence motion, what happens that missed a movie along with his entire cabinet, we'll have to resign and then who can take a government funds into place. but the chances of that happening extremely unlikely, and i'll tell you why. so this is a no confidence 2nd, no confidence motion, that mr. movie would have to face the last one being in 2018. which one? i'm show slides that one, mr. moore, he's expected to win this one as well simply because the symbol b and his spot to the beach of be hard to judge on pop ocoee the somebody's political policy. they have numbers in the house. so i missed a movie and his political boss, he needs to be extremely confident that the will save the timing of the nor confidence motion which has been brought to him by phone. his as far as the bait is

extremely sure you are in the next 10 months, india is due for a genuine election and india will in fact choose its next prime minister. so the timing your of essence. now we don't take the animal leaves that this move by the position really is an election campaign. so to see that has begun in india for that election, which is due for may next year. and basically political animals believe that the move by the opposition really is to embarrass as the gums towards debates on all topics that they've fees will make the government uncomfortable. in fact, the opposition themselves see the bill was in this with the northern this to make the government through their numbers, which they clearly have the opposition. in fact, in the next 3 days is expected to bring up. for example, the money for estimate was, which has been going on in the stage for the last few months or so as raising

prices. thomas and the country have been to testing on and off are unhappy with the opposition. see also attacks on minorities in the country are some of the issues that the opposition is expected to talk about box. and as a big box, real and actions in india are fixed on the ground and not in the parliament. so it starts believe that the move by the opposition with how little or no impact on the gen x needs to get turning attention on the program to the middle east for a palestinian teenager has died from his injuries after reportedly being shot. find is really settler new ramallah in the westbank is really authority's claim the 17 year old boy may have been throwing fire bones when he was shot. responding to the rising violence in general in the west by and

see is really national. security minister said settlers have his quote for biking. anyone who defends himself from stone throwing should receive a commendation, it's you who defends himself and others from murder by police damien. this is not a murder suspect, but a hero will get full back in from me. follows comments from the minister. a bank of the year came after a separate incident, also near ramallah last week when a 19 year old palestinian mother was shot and killed. 2 jewels. settlers have since been arrested. we spoke with a man who's a witness. they should be death and then we saw in the 1st of all, what happened is as usual, the as really settlers started attacking the village in the beginning, the attacks were stones, the settlers were throwing stones at us. so the guy started fighting back and trying to stop the settlers from going in any further into the village, out of nowhere. suddenly, without any warning,

the settlers started shooting at us would live bullets. now cosigned the martyr may he rest in peace was among the 1st row of the village men. and i think one of the settlers was randomly turning on the flashlight at the village meant to see them. and then i believe there were snipers among the settlers, because per site was directly hits in his neck and another one in his chest. so the shooting happened in the horrendous way. not even his really soldiers would shoot at us like this. we don't have any trust in their judicial system. they can claim that they have a rest of the killer, and that they posted his picture on the news. but i believe that those are just formalities. therefore, judging by the situation at hand, i don't believe we will get justice because our enemy is our judge and killer. so how will we get our justice? anyone who commits crimes against us, the bigger the crime, the more privileges they get.
