use the most of the 4 states are prioritizing their own interest well, dropping the western business model, which only benefits a few. that's the message from the russian president and his speech at the 8th. as eastern economic form, the impression investigators arrive at the scene of an emergency landing in the nova severest region to gather evidence for an ongoing pro. also a head dust storms emerged in more than 2 decades ago in iran following the onset of persistent droughts in the country. what sort of a phenomenon has to do with expanding disorders, vacation, other on exports, a 70 percent of the crisis emanates from non domestic sources. or ron hosts a summit to tackle the challenges of sand storms in the region which are destroying

agriculture and damaging industry the live from moscow. this is our t international. i'm rachel ruble. more states are escaping the western business model, which only benefits a few in favor of their own sovereign interest. that is the message from the russian president during his speech at the 8th eastern economic form. which is very important that this base for genuine business corporation is expanding into the world with the number of states that no longer submit to external pressure and pursue their own national interest. first is growing in different regions of the world in essence. and you moved to look for relationship as being or in m o adult that is not based on the western templates. a system that voice can reach the leads they chosen billy and the different but to all humanity, all of the functioning and developing multiple a world we. all right, i'm joining in the studio now by

r t correspondence shaped bows and shape. we saw the original president take part in the plenary session, early on that lasted about 3 hours at the eastern economic forum. so there was quite a lot that he had to talk about. what were some of the key points? me? yeah, very important conference, of course, rachel and of course at the center this is multi pull out of the shifting picture of the geo political world and present improvement dressing those of course the, the key point of visit is earlier address was about the development of the russian far east and that was the key focus of the conference, but he later went on to address the main chest pieces on this multi polar chest board, which is changing, which was absolutely fascinating. i wanted the key issues he addressed was at western attitudes to china. russia is increasingly close partner g, a strategically economically the biggest manufacturing economy on earth. and now close to live with russia. the biggest energy provider on the planet is potentially and these 2 together. now, forming a real bulwark against western expansionism in neil a hedge administered. yeah,

you know ex, expansion and it's very interesting to listen to present improvements, actual comments on the restriction of china, from the west of, of this race here. just as in the past, the west has tried to contain russia at the moment it became stronger, became a real to political competitor. today, it is trying to restrain the development of china because it sees that china under the leadership of fiji, being our friend is gaining the mental health and developing and 7 mile steps. this has left them and shocks and they're doing everything to slow down the development of china. but they're too late to the party. they won't be able to slow trying that down, that train, it has left this. so very interesting terminology from president that's lane has left that the west is playing catch up, and it's most certainly playing catch up racial when it comes to the older area of the global focus right now with the shifting sense of a brakes and

a multi point of word and that's africa. and president putin again had some very, very interesting views on africa, on how the west has basically played a game of master and servant with i forget, in colonial times of the postcolonial space as well. president putin and suggesting that russia would like to do business with us and on the basis of the quantity as partners, as peer to peer. and again, his comments are very telling me, listen to what you have to say about african specific language and send me the recently, when the russian advocate, somebody to us how they was once again surprised by the openness of africans and their desire to work with us. julian, and it's not just because we did something for africa, helping local people gain their freedom and independence, and to fight against colonialism. the main thing is that we have never been colonizers anywhere. our corporation has always been based on an equal basis or on our desire to help. in contrast, in those countries, those are now trying to compete with us pursued a completely different policy. i was recently shows photos of how people in cages

were brought from africa to european countries only back in 1957. it's impossible to look at these photos without tears. the children were seats and pages and they were put on display. and when people compare what happened in the old days, we would never call peroration between the former ussr and other countries. of course, this comparison is in our favor. what's yeah, so again, in the context of the shifting sounds globally, the conflict and ukraine, these are very, very interesting comments for president food. another very interesting and stimulating conversation you had was with the vice president of laos, a country that has suffered terribly under uh, the sort of hedge, a monic tread of the united states or the vietnam war. a country very heavily damaged by bombing in that period. and specifically, with that explicit experience of cluster munitions, cluster munitions, of course, very much in the news these days with their deployment until you came by the united

states. suggesting that the reason they're doing it was because of the running out of conventional on the emission. and again, we heard the actual vice president to address this issue followed by some comments by a present of food. and these are very interesting also originally we can have a list of available as well. and that's for cluster munitions and their and exploded remnants. the numbers still high were receiving commitments, aaron, and technical assistance, but we haven't been able to clear our territory yet. the most devastating consequences for people are the kinds of injuries as well as the high number of more funds due to the depths of the parents. in addition, cluster munitions affected agriculture land, and we still have no calculations on how many years it will take to neutralize the unexploded remnants success whom you the just recently the united states administration. consider the use of cluster munitions to be a word crime. when they said this publicly, now they themselves are supplying cluster munitions through the complex zone and

ukraine was that. so president put their, connecting the dots really about how this, at the use of these munitions have a terrible legacy for ordinary people. he touched on various other issues so much to unpack from this is always a pleasure to listen to his speak without notes, no teleprompter, rachel, and very much on like western leaders who have very scripted and very controlled the, the interactions with the media. this was a really fascinating discussion for president, and it was particularly impactful, i think, to hear from the vice president of last, when she talked about how her country's been dealing for decades now with those unexploded munitions. you think about children now who weren't even alive and the what was happening impacted by that and, and the future that you praying could be facing because of the same thing. yeah. the right shape. i was. thank you. all right, let's cross live now to pep, a escobar independent into a political analyst and the officer comm list for the cradle to get his reaction on

what took place at the form going to have you on the russian president has touched on a lot of interesting topics today at that point of recession. first, let's listen to what he had to say about frozen russian assets. i'm gonna give you 2, so it is being serviced. mr. used to convince. so a quick look at them. an anxious is lower than like in motion, pretty much in the plus shift. yeah. they should still communities. so probably in one year easy. it is one of those that almost looks it is. but as mentioned to him in case it gets to his file. right. and my apologies, we weren't able to get sounds on that side. is that a clip from the russian president? so i'll go ahead and ask you a different question. since we weren't able to actually hear what he had to say. the president said that the persecution of donald trump exposes a rottenness in the american political system. today. what do you make of that?

of the look. this is not the most important thing that happened here, frankly, and puts, he also said, look, we, we, we don't know what's going to happen next in the america. it'll ask us what the only thing that we know is that the american stablish is not going to change their reaction of their attitude towards russia. the most important thing, like i've been here for 3 days outside and inside the far and the most beautiful thing was to see the far east inaction. the most beautiful thing was to see these regions. how the record the need and how talking to business man from yeah, quotes. yeah. from booty act. yeah. from come shatka. there was a sort of preparation to the speech the president put to me today, which was something that was very similar to what didn't show being did in his famous trip to southern china in 1992 is to boast sort of

a great leap ahead of the far east because it's a strategic priority for russia. he started his speech and he ended his address by saying exactly the same thing. this is a strategic priority for russian till the end of the century. so this is what's gonna happen the far east in the people to the east, which is unofficial. russian policy is gonna be the big leap for words in terms of what a subsidy that it can we transform asia pacific as a, as a whole. so this from the point of view of a known russian and especially probably one of the few west there's where to be to, to, to the whole far on was nothing less than extraordinary. yep. how about you mentioned the former chinese president dunghill paying? and we know china has a very special relationship with russia and the vice premier earlier today met with the apply them are put in. and so in the hailed his personal friendship with

current chinese president sheets and paying which he said has both are deep economic ties. between moscow and beijing, what's your take on that? are these deep ties a concern for the western world of the well, we should forget about the west to work really, really upset it from the point of view of a west. the who also who lives between east and west, what decision ping president purchasing and the leadership and the cramming. and there's one guy and they jing are doing is uh and that alliance in a strategic relationship that is wide ranging. and that's just absolutely every thing. and now they're getting to, i would say, a key part of the relationship, which is how chinese businesses at state owned and private sam collaborate on this great leap forward in the russian far east. so this

assumption that we go into a seat at starting from now with the new, uh, this portion is $2.00 from now one. and we're going to see uh, a sort of uh, the 3rd pollution between belt and road projects. don't forget to we're going to have the belt and rolled summits in china next months and you raise your economic union. and this is something that you see and putting have said over and over again . the very important interconnection between belt enrolled projects and the res economic unit and there was an outstanding panel here this morning. in fact the relationship between uh, brakes. the belt and rolled and the razor economic unit and how this can get the parts participation of the chinese with engines russians as well. so we would, the whole thing is being read, transform at break neck speed in fact. and what took place these 3 days here in

vladivostok is i would say it mirrors how strong and how fast the relationship is developing. what about north korea? i can tell noon is i know he's not at the for, i'm a but he is in rush. i he came in on his special train and he is expected to meet with the russian and presidents. what significance does that meeting hold? this is extremely important by the way. uh huh. probably a lot of people won't remember that. so the integration of north korea, we're the russian, far east and we'd siberia, it's something that was already discussed here in vladivostok, maybe 4 years ago. if i'm not mistaken and know, maybe they're going to start to, to develop not only a military relationship that effects a 3 part dies, relationship, russia, china and north korea, but uh,

conic cvt corridors. and this is something old, is it? we're not gonna, we're not going to have an immediate result. why do we go to a c? i would say in the medium term is the ink or an action by re wave of north squared, yet with vladivostok and they've from vladivostok to the rest of your age. i can imagine the rest of your razor being open for north korea and if they build that throws glory and railway, which south korea as well. the 2 koreans have direct access overland to your ration . this is also a game changer. so they're, they're going to discuss connectivity corridors. and this is very important for the north korea economy because we all know they have been under absolutely devastating sanctions by the americans for decades. and now they have not only uh, a military relationship which is getting closer which china and rush part of district as you can partnership. but also, and the co nomic relationship,

which in terms of reveal rates in the north korea economy is going to be absolutely priceless. a pep i, there has been a lot of discussion about cluster munitions, particularly at that plenary session. i put in to pardon earlier today, specifically by the vice president of louse whose country has suffered greatly from them. what are your thoughts on the west apparent lack of concern for the weapons dangerous after math, especially since they know the legacy that they leave. and now that they're planning to supply them to have that is exactly, and if you go to louse louse was the most boomed nation in the history now allows was a sort of collateral damage by the pentagon of the vietnam war. very few people talked about allows at the time and later on allows was absolutely forgotten, of course, by the imperial powers. that what happened and we see talking to the sentence

of people who are boomed at the time and their children, etc. the scars is going to take at least a century, you know, to hear. it's absolutely horrible. and now we all know that the empire, the model, so put on the of the empire, they're always the same into conceptually in terms of divide and rule in terms of implementing forever wars. the late this case is, is ukraine, from the point of view of the stablish ment. both it's a bi partisan sync. they want to forever war and not only against russia, it has to be the best as i, as, as a war against china. and same thing, cluster munitions through ukraine, the ukrainians are going to pay the price just like the low oceans pay the price in the late sixties, early seventies. so it buyers when they are mega decadent which is the case. they never learn the lessons to day. all right, well leave it there. prep escobar independent, j a political analyst and officer columnist for the cradle. thank you.

the russian investigators are at the scene where an emergency landing occurred in the nova severest regions to gather the necessary evidence further. ongoing pro, a criminal case has been opened on violations of traffic safety rules which couldn't bring down heavy charges against anyone the found to be responsible. our team managed to obtain an exclusive interview with one of the flight attendants mother, and her ticket is that she would be very happy if her son decides to change his job as i would like my son to change his job because ive worry about him all the time, and so of course i wish him good luck, happiness, happy flights since he chose this profession. i can choose for him, but as a mother, i worry about him. there were $170.00 people, including $23.00 children on board. at least 4 people are currently receiving medical treatments with all passengers safely evacuated,

reports suggest the plan of problems with its hydraulic system will flying from the southern city of sochi to almost getting siberia. the governor told media there was no fire on board following the landing and investigation is under way to get a full picture of what exactly happens. we will keep you updated on this developing story as we get new information. in the meantime, one of the passengers on the fly gave a 1st hand account of what happened today we were supposed to fly to homes while approaching the city. they reported bad weather and said that we were being redirected to another severe then they explained to us how to behave in emergency situations and the plane landed in the field were all run away from the plane. there was no fire, only one side of the plane was a little damaged by smoke, then buses and firefighters arrived our luggage was lowered safely from the plain and everyone was able to collect the note will be taken by bus to a local village to be looked after and fed meanwhile, the airlines had, has praised and approved for their actions during the emergency situation. the

saying the lending took much of composure and professionalism. no sound presumably as a professional pilot myself, i can say that before me such a london takes great skill. it takes a load of self control, they did not lose their heads, they made a small decision and completed his difficult landing. they did as well as the plain and people away and sat to so every passenger will receive compensation for the answer to enter. they have been temporarily housed at the local shelter until they can be relocated elsewhere to continue their journey. we heard some 1st time accountants from those on board the aircraft. we're very glad that we're all here. no, i have very grateful to the group for the professionalism and quick response in this situation. thank you. i want to express my deep gratitude to the pilots and crews for saving us. this is some kind of miracle. thanks to the professionalism of the pilots. it was possible to avoid serious consequences and the plane crash. the

pilots are just great, tremendous respect for their work. so this incident has reminiscence of another emergency landing by the same airline and the moscow region. 4 years ago. 1233 people survived after the plains engines were damaged by a flock of seagulls, leading to a very rough landing in a local cornfield. sand storms are a major problem in the middle east, a strong agriculture and damaging industry around. recently hosted the summit on how to tackle this challenge, our twos yusef, until all the reports, the sons and the i was having recent tears turned into a pressing problem in the wrong thanks for time warner, this situation is escalating into an environmental twice a year after was international dust on it to what has so sort of for shows and exports from 50 countries to exchange views on how to tackle the problem that we

turn off is on what he, disease, environmental us, all governments, regional and international entities must commit themselves to exploring and respecting the laws of environment was the solution. the solution is to engage in deliberation, convergence and contribution in order to find a common keyword that is common pain. a thick blanket of orange rays has over the years become a daily routine in fast parts. otherwise, once limited to the promise of who is this tony south west one. today the scourge has spread to over 23 provinces with the capital to one also suffering some of the worst dusty days. the phenomenon has reached alarming proportions leading to hospitalizations, ecological destruction of the closure of educational institutions and offices with us. if on a, in gather all, unfortunately the dust particles, we try most of the smaller than $2.00 microns and then make runs can lead to damages and industries and people's health. they affect all these groups,

especially children and the elderly. when it comes to managing this crisis, we need to both exploded origins of dust. those in raise awareness of the issue among the public. not only have the clouds caused, there were people health hazards in iran, in the region. they have wreaked havoc on agriculture by diversity and the economy . experts say every year does storms inflict this time during $13000000000.00 loss on the middle east and north africa regions between me and my dad. i'm in the past 50 years. approximately $124000000000.00 have been lost in the world as a result of dust, storms and the problems associated with droughts. we don't have precise estimates in around regarding the comic little system does stoves, but we do know that humanity is affected by dust storms that blow from 270000000 hectares of sources across the world. dust storms emerged more than 2 decades ago in avon, following the onset of persistent droughts in the country. what sort of a phenomenon has to do with the expanding disorder if occasion, other on exports

a 70 percent of the crisis emanates from non domestic sources. there are multiple dust hotspots in the middle east discharging from iraq and saudi arabia to administer, and what's on being human driven, and others caused by climate change and declining precipitation levels. however, the frailties and tigers servers are the primary sources covering garage, turkey, iran and syria. just vision with this. i mean in terms of simple graphic in geographic situation. you're in a situated home. the last point of it does still past. the dust originates from the african visit, an arab countries. it reaches the persian gulf states and finally arriving around and has so far affected different parts of our country. so the radio is empty, quarter desert, located in south of the kingdom, is believed to be responsible for a 3rd of sand and dust towards entering southwestern regions. following the recent resumption of diplomatic ties between the 2 neighbors to foreigner, we all have now engaged in discussions to address this environmental crisis. it is

really important to us with the on. we've had a 3 daughters, jo done with the me. these countries was easy to solve this problem because if anybody would like to know on we would not solve the problem on the impact would be continuous. the number of dusty days in the wrong is on the rise and export. so you get has exceeded $100.00 days each year. environmental has tour that if the production does not harness immediately, it will spiral out of control and will catch more nations in its way. now it will says, original coordination and cooperation is the ultimate way out of the crisis. and the summit could be a promising start to last off the region from the deteriorating challenge. usability are 30 to one. israel has reopened. garza is a commercial term i'll bu salaam crossing which had been closed since last week. the general federation of palestinian industries had criticized the blockade

urgently called for the reopening of the kurama booster, lam crossing and the removal of sanctions that force and the plight of the population and hinder the chances for economic development, peace and stability in because this trip israel says i closed the crossing after explosives for discovery hidden in a shipment of closing bound for the west bank. well, it's not the 1st time as well has close the commercial crossing over security concerns. palestinian officials described the move as collective punishments. the gaza has been under and is really land air and sea blockade since 2007 the spicy you i'm calling it a violation of international law in 2011. is room says the blockade of guys it prevents arms deliveries to hum us term. i believe the alarm is the only crossing permitted by israel for commercial cargo. the latest band caused substantial financial losses making an unstable economic situation worse with 2000000 palestinians living under blockhead for almost 2 decades. because those fishermen

were among the 1st to felt the consequences and they told us what impact the move had on a lot of the come. so to let you sending the madison, i've been searching for 35 years. even when i was studying in school, i used to help my father fish. i am a father of 7 children myself. this year is the worst for fishermen, because the fisherman can only earn 15 shekels a day. we suffer lots well fishing because these really occupation pursues us sprays us with waste water steals our boats, shoots us, and the rest fishermen. we were surprised by the closure of the crossing and the ban on exports, which only compounds our suffering is real, also reduces the fishing area. this is hard on us and prompts many fishermen not to go into the sea, especially since entering the sea costs. the fisherman, the equivalent of 6000 shekels, while he cannot earn 5000 shekels. and therefore the fisherman prefers to stay at

home. yeah, mother, the boss slide to the fishing sector in boys, approximately 500 fishermen, an approximately 1500 non motorized boats. the occupation systematically destroyed the fishing profession to direct attacks. persecution is severe stifling naval blockade and preventing down to efficient equipment. what made matters worse was the bad on exporting fish abroad, which meant a decline in fish prices, which cause los as for fish at mann and from the menu them not to go to see the export ban not only negatively affects the efficient profession, but also all the professions, the fishermen may probably be the most affected by this in human, an unfair measures and decisions a well this comes and made a severe economic slump across gaza, according to figures from the us and the palestinian officials. the cumulative costs for me is really blockade, and his military operations and gaza is estimated at over $16000000000.00 between

20072018. the poverty rate has now risen to 53 percent. well, unemployment stands at over 46 percent activist, and right, or most of the above ramadan, it told us that the blockade may lead to an economic collapse. actually, you'll have to tear. can you close this? is that the guys under the so that you do to vision control and the clause a model then for the chip k crossing good between goes on the is the um the no, it's all been for the kind of go on shipping. it says here that got him of a cell in 5 said, is it going to the audi close? it does when the justifications that they are fine, the some military with buttons on the equipment, it's heading in there. and i'm looking to look at a, at a couldn't make consequences as well as the political consequences as well. it could be a motive, but i should. so you can, you would consider the,

since i've goes up. and as i've looked at it since a 16 years, so unemployment that isn't so high above the line, it's so high. it is sense for them population depends on, on the assistance, food assistance and wi fi and as a human that area assistance. so if the fluids have continue as it is, and so we'll look at it economic get uh, collapse, and the damages on the same table. and it could be it, it will appeal not on political resistance for the scene and be able to note about be able and from the political factions as well and be so that's all for me for now, but to stay with us. my colleague nick aaron, is in, in about 30 minutes with more news by the

west into worlds and part a decade after the wave of an arrow spring uprising ship north africa. violence. change of government is striking. the continent. he had a gas based time in west africa with it goes in larger and debunk, completed how we see the worst of it. he had of to discuss that. i'm now join, but i found to be associate professor at the nigerian institute of international affairs. professor will be great to talk to thank you very much for your time. thank you for having the issue. now africa is definitely a no stranger to cruise or entrenched governments, which probably.
