and what makes contract as volcanoes stand out, the law collections finish, and the newly crowned winters says the country must focus on home and stop sending arms to ukraine. the, as you print in troops struggle to make gains in an offensive report, according to the russian ministry of defense, an in house battle ropes across the atlantic. as the new us budget does not include support for ukraine, the ties between russia and china and african states are strengthening and to work on that. moscow teaches chinese and african language courses, and it's pools are corresponded visits for a lesson. for example, we're timing is,

is the 1st language, and now they're introducing swahili as well. let's check it out. the line from moscow, you're watching r t international. i'm rachel ruble to our top story. the vote counting in slovakia is over and a new leader and vision is set to take the country forward. robert pizza smear party is points to the 5 that you narrative on ukraine and focus on the countries internal issues instead. okay, and i, it's like it has other and bigger problems in ukraine. we don't agree with. i mean degree i've, you've sma forms of coalition or what we would do. everything also is a part of the email you a support. everything for piecing ukraine and efforts to stop peace negotiations on the cranes. it looks good when you feed. so and his social democratic parties mirror came out on top in slovakia is parliamentary elections winning over 22

percent of the vote. progressive party, a slovak. yeah. whose leader calls for e u. unity and stronger support for ukraine trailed in a 2nd feed. so at 2 time a former prime minister once again has the chance to reclaim of that position. robert pizza around on a platform during has campaign that ssl voc. yeah. it has more urgent issues to worry about the new crane. he pledged to end military support to key f as well as, as well was reportedly being against the ukrainian nato bid. he also said he plans to tackle the problem of a legal migration saying the government must her new border controls with hungary, budapest congratulated pizza and his party for their when was sector or bond calling him a patriot. guess whose back congratulations to robert fico on his undisputable victory at the slovak parliamentary elections, always good to work together with a patriot? looking forward to it. however, not everyone shares, budapest and thursday as um, western media were quick to label him as

a pro russian politician who was set to influence the course of you support for ukraine. my colleague michael quite chief, spoke with ralph niemeyer, chairman of the german opposition group for sovereignty and constitution. he says, lavaca, and his neighbors are tired of the ukraine conflict. it will change. you're locked into europe in union now because they're a member of state and all the decisions have to be conducted by the for the majority. so you'll see here i'm going to be all ready on the different stance to watch the supply to ukraine. you'll see probably also other nations, very soon like book area and romania also have the interest and rage, the friend of the board, us, which reprint, so you see the possibility of the likelihood of slovak in some of the countries that a neighbors getting tired of this conflict, yes, everyone is on to also see it even across the atlantic ation. even there,

the united states of america yesterday decided not to vote on their budget. the end, they made it dependent on the, by the administration to concede and say, okay, we are not going to supply more funding to un arms is funding and then the way to ukraine. otherwise they won't sign off on the budget in washington. so it's going low, but now is that people have their assessments and they, they don't want to continue doing this across the board are in poland, opposition later donald task is gearing up to challenge the ruling government and parliamentary elections set to take place in 2 weeks. time my task has rallied hundreds of thousands of his supporters on the streets of warsaw has put his party in a position to give the incumbent and conservative coalition. a run for their money . tusk has vowed to men, ties with a new which have recently been strained over

a polish fan on brain imparts from ukraine the will to the credit comp. like now, britain's former defense secretary took aim at what he calls quote, president zalinski, his desire to preserve the young for the future. adding that while the average age of kids troops on the front is over 40, it's time to reassess the scale of ukraine's mobilization. before van wallace penned his wide ranging op ed on sunday, the current defense minister stated that fitness instructor should be sent to ukraine, administer issues too. and i've had a busy time walk in that statement back saying it won't be happening in the current conflict, and that's essentially the man now in charge of the country's military. got it wrong, are particularly in the west of the country. i think the opportunity now is to bring more things in country and not just training, but we're also seeing be,

for example, move into manufacturing in country and mr. opposing about this on place. so just be absolutely clear about what's happening there. people will know for a long time that we've been doing the trading, ukrainian citizens and soldiers. we've been doing that here in person. we've taken the lead on that. a lots of other countries have joined our assets and it's making a huge difference. and we'll continue to do that. well, the defense actually was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in new christ. that's something for the loan. so not the here. and now the remote british soldiers that will be sent to fight in the car in conflict. that's not what's happening. meanwhile, russia is a former president, dimitri method has made it clear that british instructors operating a new crane will be what he calls legal targets for russian armed forces, as king of so called summer counter offensive, has failed to make strides across the front lines. according to moscow or to use senior correspondence, or i guess the reports from the battle ground, the sun breaks over the horizon. fresh day of violence begins,

the ukrainian artillery has started early american supply, the cluster munitions screamed through the skies, leaving the board meeting with the problem used to be 120 millimeter shells that would for them constantly. now they have a shortage. they far, no more than 30 a day with costs or munitions. they don't start for anything or anyone. are we all we is from deputy commander of a special operations unit off my battalion. this morning. the check seen on his for what positions these are, are i a forward observation of the march around the clock is for the enemy is about

200 meters way sometimes even mice a welcome. they offer a distraction even a little relief from the tension. the h, as in the, a bi position, drew known for ages, take tons on juicy, facing some more, because we're a vehicle we handle air recall. we also correct artillery fire or what we watch. we spotted and we get the things done. first, we're taking apart their defenses. we have had some transport to the enemies of freight. on my way, it's a who's watching up a corporate just walking around. so there's these treasures haven't been prepared. there's no power month. and there's the such recklessness is often punished. all too much to kill, but to keep the enemy down to keep them tense,

afraid of size. got them. that was good. that was beautiful to the wait for it to clear that they do this 24 hours a day and shift those as it is now morning with hands full. he's all about speed. the gradients also have drones. a large swamp buggy arrives to transport us so it's a drone. kamikaze. keep an eye of the beeping you heard is from something that never existed before this conflict, but it has proven death in value, but i have a store, it's a load. it was not a simple view, the eclipse basics looking at the another. what kind of another, on the, on the tv,

the menu on the which are full of disability in the middle. it's just lower tre new nations, or kindly causing drones at the present. so you crate and seems to have run into a shortage lately. i'm not just with drugs. the situation is sucks. that's all you credit in the tax. it pays for the costs to create and willingly sacrifice hundreds of it sizes to capture trends. aside and trench 20 meters across now comparative silence rains. it is suspected that keeps forces here suffering a manpower shortage habits because of the huge casualties suffered during its summer offensive. whatever the reason the silence is sometimes deafening.

these forest is strategically vital. undoubtedly, the battle here will soon resume in list. but for now, tyrese's. com holds, even if it offers very little comforts for i'd gaz d of odyssey from claim in that regard. squeegee. meanwhile turmoil in washington has brought new changes to the countries policy toward ukraine and internal political struggle has highlighted a dispute over whether or not the us should continue supporting 2 of our t correspond that rachel evans has more in the us government, narrowly avoided a parcel shut down over the weekend as congress came to an agreement to continue funding for the next 45 days. the resolution passed by both the house and senate and signed by president joe biden, just before the october. first deadline keeps funding for the government at the

current level and includes money for disaster relief efforts. but it does not include any more tax periods dollars for ukraine. in his statement, i've been criticized. the fact that it wasn't included is that he expects the separate vote on funding for ukraine to ensure that there is no lapse and us a to key. yeah, we can not, under any circumstance, allow america support for your brain to be interrupted. i fully expect the speaker to keep his commitment to secure a passage and support needed to help ukraine and say defend themselves against regression of brutality. while congress is already all located, an unprecedented $113000000000.00 worth of aid for ukraine since last year. and it requested an additional $24000000000.00 in august that has yet to be approved. but it is a over funding for ukraine has been at the center of the debate over funding for the us government itself through the next year. and it has what to democrats and republicans in the house, arguing openly about washington's priorities. i just would like to remind everybody

that before we can fund anything else ukraine, we have to start by funding the government of the united states of america. do you support the senate version of a c, r? yes, i do. okay. strongly support to send it furniture. okay, so a big difference between the senate version and this version is that this version does not include ukraine funding. so are you telling me that you would shut down the government if there is not ukraine funding? i might just say to use that and maybe you have a chance have had the chance to read 71 pages. this bill doesn't extend the authority to help you create any reclaiming, reclaiming might, of course, finding my lifetime, reclaiming my time for anyone to vote no on this bill. they are voting to shut the government down. and if you're saying that you support the senate c r, but you don't support this one. the only difference is ukraine. and if you're

telling the american people with a straight face that you will shut the american government down or ukraine, shame on you. just over 3 hours ago, we walked onto this floor with a plan and an opportunity to make sure that our government continues to work. but instead of moving that plan forward, we've spent the last hour to hearing from a member on the other side of the aisle trying to gain c span ratings. and i believe a context of how many times we could hear the term mag, republican house speaker, kevin mccarthy has been in the position of trying to balance at all. and he criticized the senate for neglecting the american people for the sake of supporting war in ukraine. why don't you guys going to get all over that? it's all right that you put america. first. this all right of republican and

democrats joined together to do what is right. what the senate wanted to do was focused on ukraine in front of america. i understand our responsibilities, but i'm going to put america 1st. if there's a moment in time, we need to have a discussion about that. we will have a discussion completely about that, but i think the administration has to make the case for record of victory. how long is the last year and a half ago about ukraine age? and i said no blank check. that's what i mean about anything. the changes became so high that democratic congressman jamal bowman pulled a fire alarm in the us capitol as his party was trying to delay the vote on saturday. after capital police released a photo of him in the act, the congressman admitted he pulled the alarm, but claimed he was just trying to open the door. his stop was called out by republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green. she noticed that some democrats are treating new crane as if it is part of the u. s. u crate is not the 51st day. joe

biden treats ukraine like it's the 51st dates. the senate treats ukraine like it's a 50 per state, including mitch mcconnell, he's one of the worst ones. and you've got the democrats in the house point a motion to adjourn, pitching an absolute bed, and apparently pulling a fire alarm over there in the canon building. because it does not find you crane. this is the most america last unbelievable calamity i've ever seen in my life. and these people are paid by the american taxes. green is one of the conservative magar republicans not under former president trump and his influence on the party score. and now being criticized by the liberal mainstream media with articles a logic that by refusing to support a voided check for ukraine. they are putting americans last and try and turn the us into an isolationist country. trump himself, who is now running for the presidency again, says the war would never happen if he was still in power. meanwhile, the latest polls show that the majority of americans believe washington should not

approve additional funding for ukraine. a stance at both the white house and money, and congress still refused to consider. while we talked with us television and radio presenter stephen malls start who says military aid allocated to the ukraine in conflict has created a hole in the budget and the country is slowly starting to change its policy. i see more and more politicians are running uh saying, hey, this is unsustainable because our economy is in big trouble with the most people are, are feeling it. every single poll says that the country's headed in the wrong direction . that the economy stain. uh and that, and then vitamins doing a terrible job of handling the economy. and then if you say, but we're giving billions and billions and billions of dollars to ukraine some time and time and time again. and we plan on doing it order for the foreseeable future. with the limits, people are, are going to say what i'm like, wait a minute. what about me? what about the price of groceries? what about my paycheck?

what about being able to buy less to do less with my finances? it's not, it's, it's going to really push is going to come to shove, and you're going to have a lot of senate seats open, especially on the democrats side. every house sheet obviously is open to a president. trump, who will probably be the nominee for the republicans, has expressed veto his concern with unlimited funding for ukraine. so i think, well, i think if there's a time from tonight it's, it's turning and it will continue to turn with russia. is it closer ties between africa and china? moscow is open to foreign language courses and it's schools that now studied chinese swahili and i'm hark. ortiz correspond that marina cust reva visited some of the schools to learn a bit of something new a washer. last week. i have become friendlier than ever in recent years. and another step toward cements and that relationship is learning each other's languages. there are around 30000 african students in russian university is at the

moment, and that number is only set to grow. likewise, the number of russian speaking of african language will grow as well because this september, a handful of public schools across my scope began teaching m hardwick and swahili, obviously, to 2 of them to see just how much interest there is. so initially figured out where that all started when we went to the university where they told us about america. even then we're told that we might be able to stay and i was happy because this is a unique opportunity to show you people started american. this is a very interesting and unusual if you can get a job as a translator or diploma or actual a lot of opportunities. the school was attended by the lights, russian diplomats and former un on bassett or vitale chicken. so it makes sense that this was among the schools chosen to not have been a much store. we must understand so that the options to learn this language are divided into 2 parts. for our graduates. on the one hand african countries already

promising market and graduates with knowledge of the amara kline, which could be in demand for businesses or future investors. on the other hand, one of the you ends in institutions is located in the capital of t t o b up. we hope that students, if they are imbued with culture and history, can be in demand at international organizations such as the un and unesco would. and so far too african languages are an offer here in moscow. hark, which is the official language of the field. but also used in other parts of eastern africa and swahili, which is the official language of 10. yeah. tends in the end, the african union as a whole for sensory students around the world were taught english, french, german, or spanish as a foreign language in schools. it was always something european, definitely not asian, or ask look at the spots and not a year in russia like the school, for example, were, chinese is the 1st language. and now they're introduced in swahili as well. let's

check it out. to the do my colleagues and i talk for a long time about how we could promote trans special languages this high school level. last year we entered into agreements with the multiple states university and the os. if we would like to send you an african language, in addition to chinese, of course we agreed we were ready. if anything interesting is show to come to us. this year we have recruited a whole clause. the state has the swahili language, the guys are happy, they really like it. they can already see something despite the fact that less than a month has passed since this task of this that is so that

she starts young me. besides me, i can be, i can write, i can speaking short phrases. i think that i can even push them to some documentary is where he lives. i had never heard of swahili language before, and i was very interested to find out what kind of language was when i heard about it and decided to move to the schools. i know i'm planning to enroll in oriental studies all this way. he literally to department. i wish there was more as soon as you know, this is a great opportunity to learn a new language, especially since i like learning exotic languages. so highland grammy's, not that complicated. i have most of this i can read, i know basic phrases i can connect. my life was to a helix because i want to become an international journalist. and no chinese in swahili will be useful to me for this career is stuck with you to lay off with, you know, this is a 1st experience and of course i can't say that it's easy for us as the institutes representatives or for the students. we are still getting used to each other and

editing the program because it is based on a textbook that is studied at higher school levels. we expect that by the end of the 2nd year, they may not have mastered this textbook, but they will communicate quite freely at the everyday level. can go to the store, figure out the right path at the airport. in general, this program will encourage children to have a positive perception of africa so that they and their parents understand the prospects of the continent. this initiative is set to have made russia the 1st european country to teach african languages and it's public schools. it was made possible things to most schools, institute of asian and african studies, not only q rates of the process, but also help provide the teachers. and they believe that this is just the beginning. which that i still suppose there was a growing demand in society for the knowledge of african languages. there were a few specialists on africa and russia during those specialist and african economics or african politics. so interest is growing both at the state, emphasize

a level to satisfy this interest. we have starting to train children multimedia at the institute of asian and african countries. but also in schools. we started teaching the switching the language from the 10th grade at the school. if they are interested, they can continue studying the language of usability. this is a fairly successful project and we hope that it will continue to develop in bedford . we do not want to stop with 2 languages. we will offer other african, which is the schools the interested in most the school year just started. so it's too early to tell just how popular and successful these lessons will be. but one thing we can say for sure the kids are excited and looking forward to not only learn an african language, but also visit the coincidence and be able to interact with the people. they're somewhat say that's already a significant step forward. and that means that actual physical sand, like you saw a helix safety gee, no longer needs to so maybe name one for them. a bottle of low blood on the cooler,

but a would shape the one that took a couple of boxes which a, how bad is that causing century new consumer products kinda contain about r o u binding you soon? you know, when they're, they're not, they do i forget the states of also expressed their interest in developing educational projects with russia. earlier we spoke and to do my thing on the, i know the minister of education in burkina faso, the reflected on cooperation with russia in the field. a difficult problem. we know that the russian education system is built in such a way that education has always been added to best. and it is for this reason that martina fast so wants to learn from russian experience. we are absolutely confident

that russia does not only train students to gain qualifications, but actually puts skills at the center of its education system. we also have already carried out a serious reform of the education system in burke, you know, fast. so we decided that starting from the bachelor's degree, we could focus students on their career paths. at the same time, we have introduced practical training in universities, enabling students to apply their knowledge in the fields while contributing to socio economic development. agriculture is one of our g sectors. this is where we intend to really strength and cooperation with the various russians universities, as you know, birching assess, so is a country of mineral resources. so we need to build up expertise and exploration

and mining. along with all this, there was also the issue of health and medicine. our vision today is to build sustainable more efficient ties between russia and berkeley and a fast so by establishing a university university and a fast. so within this university, we will be able to not only develop the areas that i just mentioned, but also to attract experts in the field of health care. the review, any sanction is imposed on burkina fast. so as an opportunity, as i often say, it doesn't take a weapon to attack people and cause them pain. but you shouldn't put any pressure on the education system. we understand so that our salvation lies in education.

and it is the arsenal of our partners as well. as you know, the system in which most french speaking countries operate is often criticized for the gaps that exists between education and the labor market. we deliberately chose restaurant to help us reform our education system. so that we would no longer be dependent on another state. we need a reliable partner. it is about entering into a mutually beneficial partnership in which each side recognises each other's sovereignty. and from this point of view, i think that relations with russia do me these criteria for us. energy is one of the key issues. since we are not energy independent. and because of that power,

sovereignty is at stake. why establishing closer ties with brush them and using the technologies at his disposal, we can achieve energy independence in the near future. and this of course includes nuclear energy, which is very important. but we do understand that martinez has so has its limitations, including in terms of affordability together with russian. we are in the process of developing solutions that will allow us to gain access to this type of energy. and if we really want to revolutionize the industry in our country, then we have no other chance then to think about how to make high quality energy affordable. and let's look at the news for now, but do stay with us and back in about 30 minutes was much more in the meantime. be sure to visit our website or to com for the very latest news, and update the,
