the next thing it will be them both then also have to pay the the, the west african echo was block orders, the deployments of it's banned by military forces moving a potential intervention in the share. one step closer, the india passes the bill in harlem and repealing controversial. so there's a loss dating back to colonial times. also ahead of the hopes and dreams of a whole community writing on this vast machine as it actually takes off the smug nip machine. hurry up towards the cause, most russia head to the moon for the 1st time and almost half a century as part of its ambitious lunar program for the coming years.

and uganda hits back of the world bank for suspending funding to the country and less kampala changes. it's a strict homosexuality laws the one to go access to actually abundant health feed. you know, our codes yellow preschools funeral house of winter because of money. but we will not, i repeat, do not change because because of my know that's one of the live from moscow. i'm rachel ruble, and this is our t international. our top story, this our, the west african block of echo was, has given the order to activate and deploy it's stand by forces to deal with the unfolding situation in new share then is aaron military is yet to respond to the move. the statement comes as a summit of the west african blocks leaders, wrapped up in a bush on thursday, 2 weeks after the coo in the army. we spoke to local journalist, samuel alon,

who says the echo was, announcement is been perceived by people in the share as an empty threat. a saturday committee, a big chief of defense stuff, to activate the aqua stand by force, with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity. stand by force to restore constitution and order in the republic of news. yet the net but a so often new jersey, a new way to get into 5 pieces that are one blow one side uh which ease uh, which content continue like uh, quick div would understand you've done which for the invasion from the inquest, troops and, and other side, do we have countries and they combined the book, you know, 5 so, and they gave me uh which uh the high end to the agent. and then you jump, uh, they only tell me c,

a n e. i mean to bring the desktop but from the new or 32 of them use it from what we see yesterday, even in and even though it's 2 days this morning before i'm not going something about the new she's in of uh, the request because uh they are quite to be wanting done. let's let the, with nothing be any of that from the info was to they said the most of them assume that you just the kind of, of intimidation is it costs and cannot, cannot to more insight as a country or to come by years best let the good, the me getting some, just the in the house of that i'd be just to, to, for that. i mean, they told again, these are in constitutional experts made a card table car says the possible echo wise intervention risk triggering

a crisis for the country and wider african continent is on the fields or intervention will lead to real calles and pro catastrophe. we feel that echoes is under pressure now because the interest of the african people, the people who represent echo was, are not in war, but in development. but a military intervention of around 50000 people risk causing the kind of cases that we have already seen in libya, a real war and complete these order in west africa, which will seriously senior development. the armies of molly and boot can of fast so will not act as a mere observer. they made as clear that any intervention against major would be considered an intervention against these 2 countries. other africans also hinted about their readiness to come to the 8 of major. if echo was, sends, its soldiers echo asterisks triggering the crisis and losing control over it. and they refused the other form forces in particular france and the united states will take over then need your input to color and the say, how the region as

a whole will calendar fire, which will damage the development of africa. the whole continent is hostile to potential military intervention against the pores, people in the world in nature. we see this intervention as an attempt to solve chaos. make this a home governing both and create the conditions for the exploitation of the regions . vast natural resources, in particular uranium, which is very important for the french economy in energy, as well as oil, and many of the minerals that have not been yet discovered, but which we believe are available in these parts of africa. and which may be important in the future. a quick recap of the rapidly upholding events. and these, there 2 weeks ago who saw the military to pose the country's leader, stating it was descending into chaos under the former president, who's been replaced by the commander of the presidential guards unit. and the new prime minister was also appointed since the uprising the nation has been hit with

a slew of harsh measures from the u. s. u and some of its neighbors. now, former heads of state of appeal to echo was to lift the restrictions setting, they could have catastrophic consequences for they knew jerry and people who heard from locals, who said the country is driving for independence. natalie to liberty them about this situation, forces us to be energy, a ton of most one to move towards energy autonomy only struggle can liberate us and have a know me that's as well trained, well grounded and disciplined we the people of needs here are not leaving an echo was to the west african economic and monetary union were ready to us. you more responsibilities, ready to suffer the consequences of what will happen. because then we have to adapt as we are an independent people, and we aspire to total independence. this is the moment to make a sacrifice, even if it affects our lives, to adapt to the situation. france benefits from niger if we refer to history for

bulbs that a 5 and france are produced with uranium from niger. we have the support of brotherly countries such as malia for kena, algeria, and also russia, which supports us on see if i need you by the case. and if it can not saying that the sanctions do not affect the life of new rents, but to um, to his cottage, especially since molly working the foster and genie leave us a to limit the rates our people. so meanwhile, both france and the us have expressed their full support for the west african blocks decisions on the new share issue. was us secretary of state antony, blinking st. washington will hold the military responsible for the safety of the detained the government officials. a we echo the echo was condemnation of the illegal detention of president mohammed presume. his family and members of the government, as well as the unacceptable conditions under which they are being held and call for their immediate release. like aca was the united states will hold the council for

the safe guard of the homeland accountable for the safety and security of president bassoon, his family, and detained members of the government. the west seems very concerned about these arrows to post the president to mohammed by zoom, who was taken into custody by his very own presidential guard. the un secretary general is very concerned over the deplorable living conditions that new jersey and president presume and his family are reported to be living under as they continue to be arbitrarily detained by members of the presidential guard in these year. the secretary general reiterates is concerned over the health and safety of the president in his family and once again calls for his immediate unconditional release and his reinstatement is head of state respect to present mission. but soon we are greatly worried about his health and his personal safety and the personal safety of his family makes you wonder how bad those conditions really are though, considering but assume was able to ask the west for help despite all this alleged abuse. nevertheless, the wes crocodile, tears continued to flow as do their sanctions on the people of new share. the

european union is working on its 1st package of sanctions as we speak, while the eco last block of western back to africa. nations was quick to launch its own all with a rubber stamp from brussels. the risk is that we start running out of assistance materials to be able to help out people. i'm talking about simple things that are so live saving. some people will soon be feeling the pinch of this more than the 4300000 people we had planned on supporting through emergency humanitarian assistance. we might see that number growing and growing fast. we're only seeing the tip of the sanctions iceberg. and yet the new jerry and people are already feeling the consequences. millions are dealing with black about 4 hours at a time, while the threats of foreign military intervention and terrorist attacks hang over the country. like a dark cloud on top of that, the flow of humanitarian aid into new shares under serious threat as the new military administration was forced to close the country's borders. in preparation

for a for an attack, you'd be in union reach rates. it's very clear calls for the full restoration without the late of the constitutional order and foot associates itself with the declarations of echoes and its african and international partners. in this regard, incarnation with the present of the european council, i will continue this weekend. the many contacts already underway in order to achieve this result. we stand ready to support echo us upcoming decisions, including the adoption of sanctions, sanctions, and threats of an invasion a playbook the west has used so many times you'd think by now western leaders would know that it's not governments, but ordinary people that suffer the most under these policies, but maybe they do know that, and this was the plan all along. the new bill was introduced to the indian parliament overall. the country is a controversial sedition law stating back a to colonial times. the nation's home minister, i mean shaw,

says the outdated legislation should be scrapped in its entirety. the prime minister had vowed in the mindset of slavery, we will bring 3 new laws in their place to insure the protection of rights. it will aim to give justice, not punishment. all right, let's get more on this story now from our t correspondent runjun sharma. arrangement. can you give us more background on the law and what an overall means before the nation? a no show are for so you have a several bill stuff with tables during the months of the session. this time, the fall of the month with the highlights being the bill that you just mentioned. the government wants to do we, we 3 british add on laws, the indian being the quote, the quote of criminal procedure and the indian evidence at sole ahmed shot and deals home. minnesota say that all 3 will be replaced, and all of this,

this bill essentially in the indian solomons today was tabled by the administer of the country. now the center have in march 2020 basically formed a committee of this committee, basically was supposed to deliberate on to research on some of these to the laws of the country that need amendments. so now this could with the basically research on yours. i lost yours in 22 in samples 2020 to be submitted a deep sealed, and the laboratory reports to the government about this suggestions about what should be week and a lot of the suggestions inside the say, what do you can from all speaking to people from across the list, i'm the rest of the country. now the new vehicles free was ahmed shop. though for minnesota or india sees basically, it is going to be aimed at providing shots just not punishment. contrary to what

he sees, the british at all state, he states that the british c, l o, as in india, is even more focused on strengthening and protecting the british administration. and which is why he says that it's important to do away with them. and the focus really should be justice. i'm not punishment, that's what he sees. and on the those amendments. now basically, what they've done is they've loaded back simone punishment for crimes such as ribs of time against women, friends against children, so rates rapes of mine are also trying against the state. so some of these the drive the punishment route have been made sick. tough, for example, death for rape of my dogs. also twin deals for gang grapes and so on, so forth. but essentially the are the, it's a complete the overall of the colonial. they're all the laws and the focus really

the priority of the b is walk. so i'm with one bill home and us to sees is going to be women should have one and the state and all the proposed goals will see that those who are waiving the rest, that size can be also done without the president's in their absence there. but there's a trial that can be done on hold off in india. also, let me, let me point out the 2 d. b 's bill, what tables in the fall and london also today was the last day of the month session with the bob saw for the bill to shake big shape of the door. these bill needs to be foster by the fall and when is that going to happen? that's going to not happen in the next session. so in the window sessions the following, which will take days in october, november, or to correspond that runs and sharma. thank you. the russia

heads to the moon for the 1st time and nearly half a century with an unmanned expiration vehicle known as luna. 25 to search for water on the moons, south pole which could later be used for studies of outer space and remote planets . our correspondence, a bows witness to the historic launch at the bus stops new customer jerome in rushes, far east. it's a historic moment, so you're in la starchy and rushes, far east. it's 7000 kilometers east of moscow. and the whole community of scientists, engineers and workers are waiting with a mixture of excitement, intrepid ation for the launch to begin of this vast. so used to rock it behind me. this machine weighs over 300 tons fully fueled as it is now. and it's carrying a payload of about $615.00 key to drums with the lander. of course, this is russia's a latest emission to the moon and the last one was in the 1976,

all the hopes and dreams of a whole community writing on this vast machine. as, as, as it actually takes up behind to say, re level look. now this magnificent machine, power you up towards the cost cost reduction, the boot machine error center space. again, the many, many hopes and dreams, years of technological expertise and work on it to this on a successful launch for russia. magnificent, the magnificent debt. i think the witness it's, it's really hard to find the words executive director of advanced programs and science that ross because most, alexander bush unco explains the plan the exploration process. it's main objectives

and key things of the mission. the, the to do, to lead a $25.00, we have a special drilling read on board, which will sink 40 centimeters into lunar surface, collect and analyze the composition of the soil and other components on board and send this data to earth. in addition, the situation of radiation, electromagnetism and dust on the lunar surface will also be analyzed. the main task of this mission is the search in the accurate elemental analysis of water on the surface of the moon. because the winter south pole is now america for spacecraft from different countries, the region is considered the most preferable for the arrangement of smart bases in the future. but water is something without which it is difficult for an organism to exist. and it is a potential resource for obtaining rocket fuel, oxygen and hydrogen in particular. and it is

a scientific source of information because it is coming to the moon from comments. comments are also carriers of traces from other star systems. and we will like other countries hope to find some traces of organic molecules, maybe then it will be a global fury because it is potentially a marker of the existence of some forms of life in the other star systems. and since the comments are relative stuff, other solar systems, it is a source of information for studying the rules and laws of the evolution of the universe. of russia's allies like india have already congratulated moscow with the successful launch of the $25.00 the land or is expected to reach the minutes or but next wednesday, with the landing on earth to close the satellite plan for august 21st. be sure to join archie to get the latest from our special coverage of the historic lunch. the,

a group of us democratic congress members have joined an initiative to partially block military aid to egypt over human rights concerns. we are strongly concerned by reports from both the state department, as well as numerous credible human rights and civil society organizations by the persistent and considered systematic violations of human rights in egypt. as we continue to stand for the prioritization of basic human rights in our foreign policy and quote on the administration to adhere to the spirit and letter of the law, ensuring progress in the us egypt relationship. we call on you to withhold the full $320000000.00 of fiscal year 2022 for and military financing. until egypt,

as human rights record significantly improves and late july, a similar urge was voiced by another group of us senators, claiming the addiction government made little progress and meeting numerous human rights related criteria. human rights advocates echo set to concerns that accusing local authorities of jailing descendants and suppressing media and political freedoms. though they disagree that the solution is cutting funding. the idea of reducing 8 over what seen as human rights abuses has been on washington's agenda for years as an annually allocates $1300000000.00 and military aid to egypt. under the current legislation, about $300000000.00 of the sum is subject to human rights certification, with the end of september being the deadline for making a decision on the budget. all right, let's get more on this topic now with professor of political science at one

university at my grad bo trust professor. great to have you on with us. why are only $300000000.00 of the $1300000000.00, which have been allocated to egypt making their way into the hands of egypt? let's go to uh, straight uh, in order to answer this question, i have to give you the background. what's the beneficiary of all this studying a doubts about the human rights in egypt. now there was that the elect just uh, dated july 28 by joint the human rights, the organizations, mainly egyptian organizations. if you leave this elected, you understand why these allegations would start. firstly, it says, we need to reprogram this $320.00 a $1000000.00. now t r,

these funds are going to be try moves after to the they are for every program. they are going to be channels to egyptian, a human rights organizations, those where list did in the left. so that's to start with. uh, now the 2nd idea in here, they said that they want to test the human rights to start this of egypt with benchmarks. now what's a benchmark? a benchmark in a country and a 7 states is set by it's the legislature now, the jeep sion legislature, the parliament has 6 number of loans because we are facing is collecting data soon since 2013 after the a popular revolution that's over to the the monthly brotherhood,

10 years, but a g professor, if i can do it, just interrupt because what, what i'm wondering here is, why does the us provide egypt with military 8 to begin with and what is it looking for in return for this generosity? okay, i go to 3 level 8 to bist, because my disaffection gets the dissertation was about the us a to each but of just briefly point out to the reason in 1978 eh, according to the peace treaty between egypt and israel, good by united states at 8 designated eh, a lump sum of 8. possibly a military and part you cannot make to egypt. and much higher. level 2 is what? so, it this eh, mili, $38.00, goes back to the piece 3 t in 1978. it's not like, uh, a, or can be a,

it is a condition in the piece 3 d that both countries agree to a prevailing or ensure in 32. but it is a just the only country where human rights issues are a stumbling block for receiving aid. you know, if you, if you use the m, the annual report, you will see that to human rights violation in united states, but exceed the human violations anywhere else. so if you, if you just read it it's, it's in the em international distribution. so what i'm saying is that there are records for all countries eh, and egypt address, the egypt has a launched a national dialogue. and eh, did release move themselves in the people's by

a so the degrees. okay. uh well, you know, uh, vice president, you probably been okay. it just to the, to respond to, uh, the, uh, these uh, reports because you know, the team, anybody, unless there is a charge i know for the charge by little okay. okay. we're gonna leave it there. maggard bo trusts professor of political science and how one university professor, thank you so much for your time. thank you. again that officials have lost out at the world bank for refusing to continue lending it money unless the country changes. it's strict new homeless actuality laws. stop this hypocrisy the law was passed by hugo and his parliament. these are representatives of the people that's democracy. it is therefore unfortunate that the world bank and other

actors they are to want to erst us into abandoning our face culture principles and silver into using money. they really underestimate all africans. as uganda is l g b t. laws are widely considered to be some of the harshest in the world and the same sex relations can be punished by life imprisonment. while the death penalty can be imposed for aggravated homeless sexuality which is defined as same sex relations involving h, i. v positive people or children the world bank funding phrase is not the only consequence began to faces over its new and take a lot earlier. the us impose to travel restrictions on uganda and officials with us president joe biden threatening aid and investment. todd submitted other sanctions, multiple western countries and you and experts have also condemned the law. earlier we spoke to the again presidential spokesperson, who said the western countries and the world bank must respect uganda sovereignty and of the will of the nations people i think

it's like the president said he should delta statement yesterday where he was very categorically. clear. but uh, which are not people left by anybody or any of those where they still load bunk. because it's very unfortunate, really, really unfortunate that they want to go access to actually abundant healthy you know, our coach hello principles. you know, i was referring to because of my me and i think it's very unfortunate the book has done. and i like the president said that they should really, really not under estimate us because of what they've done. we're solving country. we're solving nation. we, we, we decided as a nation, we went to parliament, this law was passed, we went through it, we scrutinized it,

and it is the week of the people, and i think that is very, keep the will of the people once you've gotten that, as i don't understand why all of a sudden the word bug wakes up and says, you know, i'd guys like to be cut off loans. so any supports for you guys to because of that . i mean, it is literally press 2 to even come up with a statement like they did yesterday. you know, so they do, we, we have buffalo to, but that's what it is. we will move on without them. and if they choose to, to actually change the position, they will come, but we will not, and i repeat, we will not change because because of my, me know that we will not do the pressure from the bunk. and i, the wisdom countries like the united states, perhaps as put the pressure on the bunk to the extent that we have, we have caved in into, into that, which is, which is,

which is really to be honest with you. because if you think about technology currently, so you use your stopped, you'd say, because of i know that you've done the past. you should stop giving them support. and yet they are children, perhaps who would have benefited from that. they do that, the money that you're giving for that support you're giving, but you've chosen to do that because you're going to enough to know. i mean it's, it's, it's crazy. is definitely we receive a lot of support from, for my office and brothers. and everybody of goodwill who actually respects the so for any to you, if you've done that, um who is a dentist for lack of a bit better? what a neil calling is you asked to meet and yes we, we continue to so to get to get a little support from, from a, from,

from like i said, countries of goodwill. and we will continue to be very fun and very it was done. we will not spend that can assure you ok, who's not been simply because of that know we will not. all right, i'll be back in just about half an hour with more of the day stuff. new stories by from the .
