the, the, an explosion in moscow was air defenses. intercept, a drone over the capital russia brands at a foil, ukrainian terrorist attack, the ready for action. the echo was, proof of west african nations reaffirms that will step in militarily. if all else fails over the crisis and the share a bunch of africa itself seems divided over the intervention questions and asked pakistan's caretaker government to respect the rights of prisoners ball refusing to directly comments over the detention of former prime minister. the

just about 5 pm here in moscow and you're watching r t international. i am your host donald quarter. welcome to the pro is our top story. the heart of most scouts financial district has once again become the target of a drone attack versus the defense ministry says ukrainian drone was intercepted by air defenses and crashed around for am local time and what it called a foils terrorist attack. the drone came down in the vicinity of the moscow city, complex of skyscrapers which has found itself repeatedly targeted in recent weeks were no reports of any casualties. and the damage was said only to have been minor . the m o d did claim the key of wanted to strike facilities located the most out, and the most government move now to the boss where a residential area of done yet, city has come under ukrainian shelving local authorities, claimed cluster munitions were used, which one woman will know and,

and this about orchard region with local authority, say a ukrainian drones strike targeted the town of enter goldar where these up are origin, nuclear power plant is located. no casualties were, were reported, but a 5 story residential building was damaged after a fire broke out. meanwhile, the supply of lethal weapons continues to flow to keep denmark's top diplomat says the us has given the green lights to for deliveries of f. 16 fighter jets to crane from denmark and then other ones after pilots training has completed the training is due to start this month. however, the danish defense minister says the program will not bear fruit until next year. the bell of russian president has also weighed in on the issue of sending weapons to ukraine, claiming european citizens are exhausted by the conflict while their politicians continued to execute commands from washington. an interview to

a ukrainian journalist, alexander lucas jenco, also involved about when the fighting with land are you able to play is up in the western europe. the gym is the fringe of the is accept the bridge. you shift coast . they are under america. i don't need this war anymore and that's what people say that the boy is not in america, but in our house is the war must be ended. europeans absolutely ready for this. the so far they're executing come ons, like give 15 lipids, but your opinions are reluctant to give me the tray equipment. you see, but the french and the american people, the dutch are reluctant to send weapons. so the west can no longer be called a single collective cement. they send the signals to president zelinski zalinski resist, because the main patron behind him is the united states. so folks, europe is already slowly starting to drift. public opinion in leading european countries is very bad in relation to this war or more people are speaking out against it because they feel the home of this and they want it. the americans are

profiting from this and very encouraging zelinski in this regard. therefore, there is no unity between europeans ends, the landscape in terms of continuing the war. and if the americans want to, they will signal to zalinski and he will sit down for negotiations. okay, no pay that will be no um supplies, so that will be the will determine that and why would americans want to signal to the landscape? put them was still any point because they will understand that ukraine will not when it will lose. and if you create lose is ultimately well then the west will be flushed that they. busy they will need to give the signal sit down at the negotiating table at the right moment. echo was ready to intervene militarily in the share of diplomacy fails. that was the blunt statement from the block of west african nations, following a meeting of the group and gone out on thursday with friday's talk set to focus on a potential intervention plan. everything as say the,

the, the forces of west africa moved the military on disability and when it's ready to us up to the portal of beauty, your videos has been the most say the time on time big in the 1990. you see, liberia is a radio in could you give me the saw today? the scene. why are you going to be mean in nice? you know, sol cereals, interest, lot of the state here, but there's no going to die with it. was that dish and the threats of military intervention started 3 weeks ago after a qu, led to military leaders taking power. however, there hasn't been consensus on the use of force to restore the previous government . pablo very de says it's unlikely to take part well, gun and nigeria are split on the issue. elsewhere on the continental, jerry and chad have said they strongly oppose interference. well, burkina,

faso and molly warrens, they would treat any intervention as a declaration of war. the african union responded by saying it's fiercely against any move on new share, while in contrast, the central african block backs echo also stands against the crew government. in may, we gazed reaction to new share to see how people feel about the situation. the deal on the who did not give a damn about a car wash because has been tailor made to the presidents in power and we did not need it while the eco wasn't convinced or not. so these guys ready for all options . we are ready, whatever. ico was the size, we are ready. why do i ask god not to bring anchor? was we lost more than 600 people killed by jo, hottest. i support the military and god perse, anyone who doesn't love new sure. can we believe that what is currently going on a nice year is actually bigger than the saw hill region is putting in question the democratic odor in west africa. i do that for care as a whole, if we find today is to prevent these kinds of things happening and to ensure future

for our continent. illegitimate, i don't missouri and so i was still waiting for the results of the costs meeting and neighbor and gone out on the situation in new year. many people here are welding behind the national council for the safe guard of the homeland. and in addition to demonstrations and declarations, junk new syrians have organized themselves in the citizen which committee to stay a vigilant over any potential military intervention. locals also say they're reassured by booking a fossil and molly smell to support for this year. what is more after the acting prime ministers visit to chart news years government has said it is open to diplomatic dialogue. now, even the united states has announced a new american ambassador will take office in the days to come. meanwhile, germany has given its backing to you sanctions against the new military leaders in new share. since the code now amazed, found itself under a blanket of sanctions from former western partners,

as well as from its neighbors and the eco last group. most financial aid has been cut well, eco was members also imposed travel restrictions. the blocks previously use sanctions against molly burkina, faso, and denny were military. coups also took place. as we spoke with an international affairs analyst who thinks that african nations should unite and seek diplomacy by all means possible. wish somebody what will happen? because we don't think what we mean africa right now. he's also, you know, that a lot of games, that of the, most of my know very, you can see from the x. so my country, so we have a cost there. are they, there, are they in front any also, you know, factors, well, the extra videos of stock, choose those, those on the same thing. it's money for me to uh, the system uh by themselves. you know, leslie responsible for most of the was you have in our lives and we're told that the african continental pull themselves together. and to show that we don't get

time. so, you know, to, to, to a situation where we keep destroying ourselves, destroying the infrastructures that are largely not big for the full crisis is keep them dimension already. i don't think that initial won't be able to solve level to kind of sense of that. so that is that stuff that i get to right now, that is why i keep you assisting so that they shall sit on the table and talk and go time the country is the economy claimed by that's these, the sure did believe lots leave on page if you look up the opportunities of domestic individuals, then this is out that the country can also live with these assumptions for every single day, you know, senior development of the strive people say someone does the day that upsets the future. you don't take it back once you've lost, you can always try, you know, just continue from, from, from, from where the, you know, to pick it up. you can't really think about what you've learned from the global

sales to the north and more in between the latest apparent missteps of us foreign policy had been laid fair in a new article by the pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh. and taking us through this is ortiz shaped, balanced with a very insightful report. if there's anyone who knows what's going on behind the scenes at the us state department, it's veteran journalist seymour hersh. he's just released a fascinating article, shedding some light on how what started out as a scrambled to save ukraine, has now become a scramble to save careers and reputations of the entire ukrainian misadventure look set to become afghanistan to point o her. she has high level force, pulls no punches when revealing just how desperate the situation is with even the recent saudi arabian piece talks being revealed as nothing more than he had another pointless debacle. organized by joe buttons, national security advisor jake sullivan judges was sullivan's baby. the official side, just one more up about who's counseling for the nation, showed up school,

but 6, looking for free food off to the a desk, shut down, a surprise, surprise, the impending collapse of the ukrainian project. how's the power the limited, the appetite of the state department's agitator in chief, victoria newland for yet more trouble of making. she's turned up in these you're looking to exploit the recent on rest there. but according to her, she is source. she didn't exactly like the results she was hoping for. the intelligence official puts her remarks to the times. an american made a treat link go. victoria newton set to save the media, uranium owners from the bomb barry russians and got a huge single fitness on that. of course, when we think about the us and its proxy warn, you cried. there's one face that stayed with us from day one, and that's the all around good guy, us secretary of state anthony or blinking or tony to his friends. what it seems. tony certainly isn't too eager to want to be front and center when it comes to the

usual. we started with ukraine photo ops. he actually seems to be preoccupied with other business these days. maybe tony know something that the white house still refuses to accept section of state attorney blinking way. was he? i asked that question of the official who set the blankets to stick it out to the united states is that is all our ukraine will know when the boy gains russia. the word was getting to him through the agency. c, i a that the ukranian of fines was not going to work. it was a shy, buys the landscape, but there was some in the administration who believed his book. so as the landscape regime runs out a road and friends, it seems we're heading into that pre collapse phase where a messages and i'm dying support can feel an urgent scramble to justify failure and lay the blame. and that's the key. every shame look set to be thrown on to the boss for the us. it will be the ukrainian people that will pay the price just like they've been doing since the start of this do proxy war against russia. former c i

a analyst larry johnson believes that if the us found itself in a financial downturn, there'd be a rapid rethinking the foreign policy of an economic crisis in the united states, i think, would bring to the war to a pretty abrupt halt because united states should know, be no more be able to fund ukraine and ukraine is entirely dependent upon western age, especially, which is provided by the binding administration. the other factor is the complete the feats of ukrainians in this counter offensive. that's going to cause some rough precautions throughout, not only washington, but throughout europe, as they recognize that they've placed, or they've placed all their bats on a losing horse. but us foreign policy, frankly, is just a right say, are you the logically blinded by hatred? there is no rational objective thought being demonstrated by anyone in the senior leadership within the abiding administration. despite the reality of what's taking

place on the ground, they are ignoring the facts and they continue to press forward because in their own mind, they believe sincerely that it's just a matter of applying a bit more pressure to russia that will cause the collapse of the russian political system and the collapse of the military f. a bank that unites the bricks group of rapidly growing economies has issued a new bond in south africa that's become one of the highest valued on the domestic market. the new development bank place the obligation in 3 and 5 year tranches and south africa's rand currency, the issue as part of a major effort to boost the national economy. specifically, by increasing trade turnover, the bank has been strengthening its presence on emerging markets around the world and encourages the use of local currencies. we also heard from some locals in south africa, who believed that bricks is helping to unite the african content. but it is

a good move to unify africa to bring about the unified currency. and so we can look of africa and move it forward. i know in south africa we strive for going through, which is basically bringing people to get the end, accepting everyone. so i feel like with the brakes that will bring everything together, which is breaks institutions because i feel as if they will benefit the country. i feel like, and so that's like, hey, you know, there's a power struggle. and so i feel like with breaks it was really empower, saw that because i know they kind of have this be economy. so with breaks, i feel like would be how best i was just seeing if i, if the argument for, for briggs versus west is more about for african people specifically more. but with the orange of money. really based durant and based in some type of interest or some

kind of paper back to being that really has no value in the role and the materials that we are covering to sending on. and that being based on a day to day basis, i believe. and i think that the, the worse than people or the wisdom community i, i this, i for can. so the just want us to feel more in depth to, to them and be able to manipulate as we that advise us. we have them once we have goals, we have flats and we have things that they would actually benefit more from us when we think we are benefiting from them. more bricks has also been discussing a unified currency across the block as it moves away from traditional dollar denominated, trade breaks, which it includes the economic power, houses of china. russian india has emerged as a counter balance to western. haven't had gemini, as it promotes a more multi polar world trade and national currencies is endorsed by bricks. members, especially in view,

would be heavy sanctions that the u. s. and other western powers have imposed on rival economies throughout the world. earlier we spoke with an economist thought we rude to says that it's logical that breaks countries move towards trade in their own national occurrences. how many reasons? why do you use the? so that's a good financial marketing squad. liquid thing is that it's a pretty easy diesel bonds in south africa. in fact, there's a significant capital all good. he's probably use some of the mostly put capital markets, self only merging countries in the world. so it's on that point of view, it's easy to do that you can use and establish capital markets a 2nd. the of course it's much bigger, a good, but also do you see both in your own currency, simply because you don't run the exchange rate risk of for example, if your issue and dollars, you'd be issue dollars and you've got a 2 week and then you're running an exchange rate risk as well, and i think 50, yeah, i think the, the biggest countries should the modem. i might choose what they are going to see more know, especially when it comes to say, for example, bones and everything comes to trade as well. so i think that could it be,

that could be a number of reasons and the reason is all make sense to me because i think and economies are the growing decided i think and economies. but for the smallest of all the big countries. in fact, if you look at their rates of size of the various economies, one can argue that to that, because you've been being bought of groups, do start off with this. i'd have to get economy this year. it's probably not going to grow, grow very, very slowly. and if you're going to be that to the indians or even through the chinese and the chinese economies slowing down being fed. but still they are great much, much for us in the south african economy. and of course, the much, much bigger economy. so now i'm gonna try to, so that's a good economy. we ought simply not putting a weight and also to vision in terms of gravity. so the washington, as formerly formally asked the pakistani care take, are governments to respect to prisoners rights. i made the arrest and sentencing of the countries former prime minister in wrong con, that message continues to be clear to our partners and park has done that. and any buddy held in detention should be fronted very human rights consistent with

international law. and that continues to be the case here, i will let pockets, don't speak about any other details as it relates to iran cons case, there was a caretaker, prime minister and government put in place and pockets done. we look forward to continuing to partner with boxed on on a number of issues, but especially as a europe for the elections to take place. in the forthcoming time, the real estate department made a point of leaving it up to the pakistani stakeholders to make any further comments on the matter with the court imposing up, imposing a 3 year sentence to the countries former prime minister in wrong con, over corruption charges nearly a year after the election commission of pakistan disqualified him from holding public office for 5 years. meanwhile, pakistan's caretaker government tasked with leading the nation towards economic

stability appointed. it's 8 prime minister earlier this week. the cabinet, the set to include a new for administer who previously served as the countries and master to the united states. the constituents will also be responsible for conducting pakistani general elections scheduled for november, though. voting may be delayed due to a slow dilemma nation process, which threatens to plunge the country into a constitutional crisis. but to get more on this now we're going across live to siad is little feet car buccheri, who was the special assistance to former prime minister in wrong. com. thanks a lot for joining us on the program. first question i have for you is basically about washington making its intentions to partner with pakistan's new caretaker government. clear. what's the significance of the show of approval? do you think well the significance of it, you know, care taker, government is, it's got no job except for one. it's a, it's not a government that's supposed to take any decisions,

any major decisions or do anything. it's just a okay, take away. it's just bad for the day to day running out of business and lead to collections within the constitutional time united states recognizing it is, i suppose, a good thing. but um, you know, it should be recognizing it like it like it, right. the said to the, to, to free and fair elections sized box on is a democratic country. now, if it isn't, it would be interesting to see the stats. if collections are delayed, ultimately denied. the us state department already highlighted its interest in pakistan's upcoming general elections. would you say that there's a potential threat of meddling here and how our locals reacting to that? well it's, it's too early to say if there's any meddling going on, you know, until the elections actually happen, what we're facing and boxed on is a unique situation. if there is ever a situation of pretty cool people rigging,

it's now, you know, the largest national level medical party is it as a full attempts to try to dismantle it. the most popular leader in the country is in prison and disqualified um, so you know, and now the, the limitations and try to, you know, uh, prolong the election date. so, you know, this is what people rigging is. so it is not that the meddling would take place on election day. it's everything that's been happening in the country for the past 14 months. well, what do you think about what's former prime minister and we're on cons? ardent supporters are saying that the allegations against him are highly politicized as well. there's no 2 ways about it. i mean, the not only politicized they are. absolutely, and you mean the way things that transpired in the last 14 months, especially in the last 3 or but 3 to 4 months, i mean, we have 13000 people in prison. we have women and children, men that have nothing to do with any case or any charges or even politics for that

matter that i've been in prison, a 5 year old kid was abducted a 13 year old child was detained for no rhyme or reason, just because he was someone's, his father was a political worker. so i mean it's that association is just um, it's quite obvious where it is and there's only one agenda and that is to try to a lesson in ron hahn's popularity and box on it. okay. we've spoken about the politicization of these obligations, but what do you think about their sources? are they sound? would you say? i'm sorry, sources, as in the sources of the allegations. well, yes, of course. i mean, like i said, you don't really need any sources. if you just look at the facts of what's happening with every single box on there, you can solve peachy. i am on a cons party. neither is input isn't hiding for and present for an x. so there is nobody that's allowed out. you are not even allowed to carry is uh, you know,

flag of his party. you are not allowed to take him on cons name on national television. wrong hans pitcher is not allowed to appear on national television. you have to blurt out, if he's in any pitcher. so i mean if that's not the resolution, and so if the source is on enough for the coming months, i don't know what would be and that's why we would hold that international community to speak up on the human rights violation. display one in the country and not just in matters which, which i relevant. all right sides as will fit carbo harvey's special assistant to former prime minister and run con, thanks for joining us on the program. thank you. and other news, ron's top diplomat has met with his saudi counterpart on a visit to re add as a mark the resurgence of relations between the former regional rivals. both foreign ministers have emphasized the importance of establishing sustainable relations in all possible fields. as ortiz use of july reports on the visit,

the main line. it was for a minister, oh, say not. the saudi arabia essentially completed the recipe for me. it was sort of relationship between one and we all this, every other we in has already been added to the mix. the embassies in thomasville, that's our officially been in the solid important minister or for a visit to, to back the june when he met with the presidents ever. all right, you see so no strict to real means that the 2 former are trials buried in a joint press conference today with his saudi counterpart, pretty specialist. i need to say that relations between one and we all are on the right track yet. and yet we believe that the idea of achieving secuity and development in the region is an idea of it cannot be fragmented. we witness the day that the relations between the 2 countries are progressing in the right direction. we are sure that these meetings will help the unity of this land the world for his

park friends face all said that the kingdom hope to see it was president, re see visiting the following 10 sauce and position which he had communicated during the june visit to get while i need to set today, that would travel. so that can get to the appropriate time. the top diplomat said that they will engage closely each way security areas they have to here so that they will launch enjoyed economic chemistry in the near future. they also agreed to increase their gauge areas such as taurus, i'm trying to, lassie an air transport energy and environment. so let's see. so the old grievances have now given way to a promising friendship which the foreign ministers believe that this will benefit nations and will also help establish security tire. we just looked at a lot of that. our meeting today is a continuation of steps taken towards implementing the agreement to resume and diplomatic relations which represents

a pivotal platform in the history of the 2 countries and the path of regional security. so for up to the change, there is the latest sign in both countries, determination, improve, ties and it has been happening really quickly since march this year with china broker that agreement between the 2 countries to re establish their ties after 7 years are really hostility. prior to the audience, was it moscow hosted military officials from the one i saw on the way of you on wednesday, one of the 2 sides. of course, a security officials from the 2 signs match with the, with each other to discuss ways to improve their military engagement on the 11th on the sidelines will be limited to security conference in muscle. this as the former adversary sat back opposing signs in the norwegian, syria, and especially after the several times and 26 the phone. this took me about this on the embassy angry over the execution of the top sheet. and

now we see that there reconciliation has large, these 10 regional complex when they're one in different. i said that one has not just mended times where we are, but also on the personal stations. that's all for this. our stick around for more new isn't just about 30 minutes here on our to international the hi, i'm executive, and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously

. why watch something that's so different. little opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do the have the state department c. i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't want my show state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way i started in 1983 with my father on a young man, the site. that's all exactly the same as a kid does. when he goes out in the lake and the communities present for pan fish with ron, real nice families and calendars for a really long time. busy my mom was pregnant with me still long running and i grew up on long life. i've been having this issue since probably 1970 was my 1st year that i seriously pointed to the explained of, of, i am us is near historically

a levels of growth rates have dropped falling when it's done in its worst form has of leveling effect. and it has a tendency to really just sort of strip away everything that's there. the waves histories are changing. it's the way our country's changing. it's increasingly hard for small businesses to make it abundant. stocks are important. i mean, who wants to fish the last bit? the message i would leave to you is the importance of not giving up the importance of working together and also the importance of taking care of your corner of the ocean or the the hello.
