the, the very different change in south africa for the 1st time in 30 years. the amc failed to win a majority in the general election, leaving it scrambling to form a coalition. also ahead we will go to war. we wouldn't leave the house. i think he's the 3rd time we want to go to the russian frenzy game we've been there. we have nothing to do that hungry as prime minister says the war as the news links on supporting you crazy made fees of escalation. victor open says those driving for conflict have gone mad. and

the violent scenes in paris is police move in to break up pro palestinian demonstrates is waged by these rarely offensive on rafa. that's. that's the goal of the test. that's total is past 36000 people since october, the fifty's on the international welcome to the weekly your digestive, the stories that made the biggest impact this week. we're also keeping an eye on developing stories to, to and that's exactly where we're going to start with our top story this our, because the vote counting is over in south africa. so run the phases routing policy . the amc has lost its majority in parliament and will now have to form

a coalition to be able to govern the south african president says the election result shows that people expect policies to work together to read everyone's needs . what this election has made play is that the people of south africa expect to their lead us to work together to meet the needs. they expect the parties for which they have voted to find a common ground to overcome their differences, to act and work together. for the good of everyone, this is the time for all of us to put south africa 1st. the people of this country expect and deserve no less. so that's because governing ac has law states outright majority in the country for the 1st time since so that you can democracy began 50 years ago. what this means for the countries political food

shops, no one knows as yet. but as of last week, i said before a series of complex tools to form a national coalition government for the 1st time and establish the policy is to separate each general figure, but do less it and i'm a process would remain as part to be done at the end of the month, so from the that she resigns a for tools to go ahead was a new book every. all right, so after those results were released and announced by the i e. c. the present in his speech has said that the south africans have demonstrated through the votes clearly and plainly that our democracy is strong. it is robust, done, it enjoys this. he said that. so that's because have a soul and how important the vote is. and that to they know that to the vote counsel, but the n c will remain the largest party in parliament, even though it has lost its majority. it will have a to for alliances to really accept present. but i'm opposed to actually the end of

the month and stay in power as well. the governing parties full time to form a coalition government, some opposition parties once a isn't out of the pictures to do those coalition partnerships and some refuse to even consider echo edition to exist between the ac, the 5th and the m k. in fact, the d a says that it will do is utmost best to prevent a coalition between the sea and if, if even a condo is easily, just move on that we have got a lot of work to do to prevent students. alicia without going into the d a and so our job is to south africa 1st. and of course it is me in south africa's interest for the d and to go out of business settlement. rolling towards the next election battery have to take so that we also had the lead to off the 5th to this many mile climbing the conditions under which it will form

a coalition with the african national congress saying that if it's demonica included the expropriation off a wide open land without compensation to identify this as a call to know principle, all for the if, if it said that the policy would not compromise and this, in any talks with the in c, but essentially saying that they have for us preference is watching what the is the have a listen to this, we, i, if you where they may be us because we have our chief, our mission, the email or lifetime. and the machine was to bring the agency below 50 percent. we want to wait and see if there's any privacy that we can work with. and where is the agency because and see when compromised is not is the choice of coalition partner will have an impact on every aspect of the economy with a goes with a d, h, b, a, b, o b, a, b, b, b, m, k,

a sun press ok for coordination, talks to progress and to forward the answer to and to, to be minimize given. so that because you pond them in need to sit for the 1st time at the next a present within 40 days off big election results being declared. but despite the uncertainty and the price is so that the can a position parties, haley, the new political picture as a much needed change for the country. and a waste spoke with the president to the african peoples congress, them but god, jesus says the coalition government must work for the long term interests of the people as sweet into you as a country 10. so quantities and for the $2.10 is it is still too early, not to have a sense of how this is going to pan out. seeing that you have the wide spectrum of fan or flip side of the position and i just got out. and it really will depend on

what the taste of the ac would be, whether it's on some go to the left or who has to go through that lives because he does those options and like they say they will be meeting on tuesday. i think it really be up to them in terms of woodside, the tools as for us with only fed and a development that agenda is what is going to do to my what our position is development and the defense of how do we continue to add to the past, because the majority of the african population still subjected to solicit economy conditions. that's what it is in the past. and look what with what was look to as a we judge the policy on the basis that does it, that ice from the logical the african solution. and is it in the long term interest of the african media that's that's, that's all found. however,

let me say that fund a mentor to any government is they need to deliver services, talk to you about fund a mentor, but you can't deliver services when you don't have food administration. when you have netflix is the waste of money and all that kind of stuff. so this to go together and, and, and that is what is critical. cracks are imagining nato is unity over the war in ukraine with hungry is prime minister standing find a game striking his nation into a launch a conflict. now this of course comes against the backdrop of ongoing discussions within the alliance about permitting. he have to use weston arms against russian territory. i want a lot more. europe is preparing for the day. they announce the opening of a new section of the road to hell every day. every day with bon bonded with the idea of hundreds of billions of your race be a crane nuclear weapons deployments and the house of your conscription,

the boss sons, into a for an all me nice. i mission in ukraine, european ministry units and ukraine. my friends, it seems that there are no brakes on the war train and the driver has gone mad. we need to pull the emergency breaks or at least those who want to can get off and stay out of the book. we will go to war with one of the legal homes in east the 3rd time we want to go to the russian front, the game with being there. we have nothing to do that was her fall, 13 countries have given ukraine the green light to use the weapons, destroy russia. amongst them with some of caps, was local supporters, including poland fronds kind of during the u. k. a. but of course, the push was initiated by the native chief in stoughton bag on those politicians are discussing the escalation, know the combs like protest as well, making their voices heard in the hon,

garron and german capital speaking out against nato's role in ukraine, particularly online decision to let kids strike russian territory the comedy of for demonstration. russia is not the aggressive drama. nato is the aggressive installed, but the secretary general of nato says constantly that the board did not starts in 2022. we started in 2014. he's right. the german government is not sold for and the german government takes these orders from washington. when you see how the german government destroyed his own economy by allowing washington to blow up the north stream to the north string pipeline. when you see jeremy is nothing controlled of the situation, the german government hardly follows orders from washington. it is i think the government of russia is doing the right thing defending itself because nato is getting closer and closer to russia. that's why i think russia has a reason to defend itself this think. so i think that piece should rain over the

whole world no matter where. and no matter in which conflict, you shouldn't solve it with war. well, 3 times the western supplied munitions can hit targets. less than a 100 kilometers inside rushes about can hit diaries like dynette skills, go belle grove, and then there is a next group. and this includes what kids columns and rows that come from the us. you came portugal and they couldn't reach 300 kilometers in so it's going to his industrial cities potentially like so. small lens can also come luca and then there are the long range storm shadow cruise missiles, which pro is the biggest threat because they can strike. so far into the russian territory, 550 kilometers back to potentially hit the capital must go. you came from the supply these missiles and have supported potential attacks on russia. washington has also admitted it's given approval to kia, have to use its weapons,

but again for limited territories. as the, as for some limited permission to use us supplied weapons against immune and threats just across the board or so we're talking about military and placements gun positions that kind of thing. logistics staging base is that the russians were using to create some sort of buffer zone so that they could continue to pound car key, present. looked at that, talk to the inner agency team, make sure you understood all the ramifications of the request and then approved it . it is limited to the car key region and it is limited with respect to the kinds of targets they can hit at how far back they can go. well, despite a talking about allowing ukraine to use nature weapons against russian territory, most co says it had been decided long ago. it was all vs. the nato members were lying and putting up a smoke screen making up a story that they had not yet decided whether or not to allow the key of regime to launch strikes using western weapons on russian territory. in the same way they

mislead those day, trying to drag to the conference in switzerland by telling tales about his peaceful settlement. classic native style manipulation. le, we spoke with george san riley, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute. she says no old people across europe shed nato's narrative, a public opinion and hungry is very much opposed to getting involved in this world. but in fact, that isn't very different from public opinion. in most of europe, there is no in susie, as i mean, any country in europe to get involved in this war. it's just that elsewhere in europe, the political leads, the leading big isn't all the main political part is going along with the e. u. nato agenda, i think at this point to roll it back on only something is something, you know, you, you, when somebody, you know,

where you are with the head of and people who just sort of wake up and, and that's why i think the, the cuban missile crisis is the best, the analogy suddenly people realize where the colewell was heading and, and then the really focus, you know, the world's attention to the prospect of that kind of global nuclear annihilation that what people out that, that lead to data on. but the 2 arms control treaties that went through last will that several decades. right now. all that is being forgotten. and the european lead is later elite is somehow assume that they can escalate, escalate, escalate and that russia will magically back down, rupture will capitulates. then there's no bases, whatever for the this is kind of thinking let's turn our attention to senior roof now because they've been angry. seems on the streets of the french capital of the police moved indicates thousands of pro palestinian demonstrations.

the police use to again sign rubber bullets to try and break up those crowds, the purchases it'd be making a stand against the own thing is really offensive in goza. since the stalls of the idea of operation moving 36000 palestinians have been killed. that protocol, assign, protest is all. so we're taking to the streets in the french city of neil. the police turned up to despise the crowds that were holding palestinian flags and signs that said, uh huh. oh, with goza, according to local authorities, around 2000 people, took part in that raleigh. some individuals did vandalize local shops with messages

painted on the walls of style, but some zora calling from boy account of those companies. raleigh's will also help across the english channel in the u. k. the process is demanding, and the need is into the wall. and the key thing the bridge is government to complicity in the ball means that the of course ravaged civilian arrows in casa, the number of arrests were made that, that purchased well is really, itself is also seen some process with thousands packing the streets of tel aviv calling for the removal of prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government. the games the pm has grown in the past. the mountains, particularly his failure to secure the release of those still being held by hostage

at by how much is wrinkling people at the people in this process we're seeing waving is waiting flags and also holding band is funding next in yahoo. and as of the old is well meanwhile in southern goals, but the last functioning hospital in rafa is now active service. it comes as is wireless confirmed. its forces are expanding ground operations by tanks being spotted in the city center for the 1st time since the offensive began just last month. well, we've been speaking to one local journalist. i come all satari who updated us on the latest situation. my phone, most of the size and indications, including the number of people because the number of neighborhood fabricate the location of those neighborhoods are in the case of, of the fact that the, there's opener's and is a full scale for this entire thing. the entirety of rough with an objective of control into the whole area. the number of people in the quality of target,

the location of the different target, the them on the east, or the west, or the south, or the north of rough or our own. in the case of or they own for 30, that there's at least the person is way of doing a full scale other than what i'm just of, of controlling the whole area problem, right? it's not only different. i didn't see a front drawer 4 door sonata. every single car, not over. there is only different sources have been underlining the fact that what really matters to days are the government is basically what the authors or the citizens they have been justified. and they have been using this is always been what the weapons being the marketing smoking from the front border as a pretty fix to continue the production. they are now announced that they have already fully controlled that insightful door. and they said by that they are preventing the smuggling of dual funds into gaza. so far, they are preferred to continue with the 5 even when the usa and the, with the euro. and with also some of the power through the sizing back to move. but

they seem to be continuum that and they seems to be defending their position by saying that they are cutting the line supply of the arms. by doing that, the china is defense minister, has accused the taiwanese authorities of pursuing set produced policies. that's as the island remains to challenge the paging. and i'm going to say the time one question is that the corps of china is a main interest. what we're seeing now is that the democratic progressive party authorities, all taiwan, are pursuing separation and career mentally. what you were bent on, raising the chinese identity off by one and 7 social, historical and cultural links of across the taiwan strait. those support just recently made fanatical statements that showed their betrayal of the chinese nation and their ancestors. one last week, the chinese army conducted large scale military drills around taiwan, beijing saying the exercises were wanting to set purchase forces in the region.

we've parents now from c t t a news networks as ng shaping things as more call. could you go onto the drills, coating named join sword, 2024. a. have taken place in a tell one straight and to the north, south, and east of taiwan. if you persist in interviewing in the actions, we will take a punitive measures to resolutely safeguard the security of the taiwan strait. thus worship 937. copy that the 2 day drills involved. many tree branches, including the poll, is ground force, navy air force and evocative force of the eastern theatre command. the chinese defense ministry set. the drills are strong punishment against the separate says, asked by 12 on the independence forces, also calling them assume volney, against interference and convocation, by accidental forces, except the drills, a completely reasonable lawful stuff unnecessary. it also becomes clear that these

latest drills are distinct compared to previous mounts, so it can push it. first of all is being conducted on the large scale. second, they told me it covers a very wide area, including the surrounding areas of taiwan, highland and high, was out our islands based on the not released by the p l. a. to the newest, the drills into to turn a new teepee or 40 until one independence forces to the south to the drill scout against the d p space. and through the east it sends out another signal number that boom boom from the east locks 3 channels. first tie wants channel for energy imports. second, the channel for taiwan independence separate these forces want to escape the evade sanctions. and 3rd, the support line for the united states and its allies to eat the taiwan authorities . materials clearly demonstrate the ability to screen the space, but holland authorities administrate to carry out their activities and show the pos, sufficient control in the region against the separatists and external forces. the

car in jail scrolled a step further, then around with the exercise of the round taiwan after them united states. how speaker nancy plus the visitor in 2022. as well as the trails in response to former island leaders. highland stop over in the us in 2023 means hot in china. coast guard in eastern china food in problems has organized the fleet of vessels to conduct watch arranging, loading force controls. these actions called the response to the speech on monday by the new leader of the tom, at region lighting, to who the aging has harshly criticized for advocating tal on independence. but you also may be a strong signal that subsequent actions may being 1st on the coat named joint sword 2024 a. this suggests there could be an escalation to a, b, c, and d, stage 8th, a, d, p, or forwarding. ty, one persists in a pro, sat protest, x 3, b. c. do can. i think it's all the same day as the visual

says, government won't take part in planned. the group associations with the rapid support forces ripple great. the talks of back by the us of the set to be hosted by saudi arabia, or we will not go to jetta because we went there before and nothing happens. i am the 2nd highest official in the states, and i am telling you that we did not agree to participate in the jet and negotiations. us top diplomat, blinking called suit and he's lead or burn hand and ordered him to go to jetta for negotiations. i want to clarify that we do not accept being treated with contempt as the agenda for remains to reach of ceasefire agreement between the surgeon is armed forces and the minutes into rapid support forces. meanwhile, egypt has invited representatives of sydney, civil society and political groups to a conference to discuss waste in the conflict. thousands of people being killed in

that conflict and the country has descended into a humana terry crisis. the we, you want peace,

say the foreign fonts has within these terrorist militias should return to their own countries, certainly useful. so it should go to their main camps. this is for the sake of peace, come the certain, these people and the entire world ignore all these crimes without the accountability. that all questions, all those forces organized under one come on, is piece possible with the 2 armies. is there any respectable country in the world that achieves peace with 2 armies other than me then with the sudanese armed forces, an extremist militias, linked to the former regime, continued their brutal crimes against innocent civilians, the indiscriminate bombing and destruction of costs. but those highlights the return of the tickets long practices of oppression. as an for of the service department receives their action pose a serious threat to the stability of some that the region and the world. the

see, i guess we suffer from many things. children the suffering the most, they need milk diapers, shelton warms, we also suffer from a lack of medication and we have tronic diseases low, but on one of the shortage of medicine is a serious issue. we can't buy any medicine, common drugs for diabetes and high blood pressure are unavailable unless you have a way to order them from abroad. and in my bag, i sent them out a little bit harassed and insulted. but we finally managed to reach the camp. at 1st, everything was good. what gladly it has become really hard loss. you, me a tyrant, a gun. his agents were not present. there was a lack of sewage leading to mount nutrition, the

electrical on less than found to be, or us consulting. a cold duck says that the us lacks a foreign policy in full of africa. and he doesn't like the price. it has been put on them to go to that piece thoughts. as many people have argued that you need a genuine approach to bring peace, you can't force people to come to negotiation table on terms that they don't agree on. and i think behind the scenes as they have been some discussions, and they have been some proposals and conditions that been set sports that are not as favorable to the so again, on forces the us lots of foreign policy all in africa. because when you talk about having a foreign policy, what is your political, your economic, and your social strategy?

and they can not continue to sanction and condemn these military leaders because they play a crucial role in the peace process in the sudan. so i think the united states foreign policy in the suden is non existent, and it is a policy of conflict with a solution. well, the international festival of brick space of schools is kicked off in the russian capital. a correspondence shaped bows was bad to give us a flavor of the festivities. welcome to an incredibly sony beautiful moscow and also to the international theater schools festival is part of the bricks. so that's a tail here at the russia exhibition. didn't get an incredible place showcasing everything. russia has to offer culture, history, food. so as you can see, there's an incredible, the color and music with the theater schools, the players from india, russia, china, b, u, a. and so don't forget here,

it's an incredible event showcasing the patriots on the music of each individual country. of course, we associate briggs switch economics with the global change with you and he pull already. but there's always a cultural side. and that's what this big event here in moscow today is all about these countries getting to know each other's colors, culture and music. it's really fantastic to be with all the group from india, from south africa, from russia. art is always, you know, they bring people together. well, like, oh, cultures, maybe different languages, but with art there's only one language are. these are list. it looks like a beach between 2 ok just to systems 2 countries. so definitely it has pot or to a whole lot of people and to go beyond the language, your language is not going to be the bad year for all of us. what's really exciting is we're going to be exploring a great, uh, classic of russian culture. and we get to add our own individual favorites to that

. and then we bring all of these different countries together in one single performance. and that's really something to look forward to at the end of the week . part of the way that we train act as world wide is influenced by a russian practitioner. we wouldn't be training at just the way that we were if it wasn't so consenting. says that's key. so when we say we tend, so we're standing on the shoulders of giants and we need to have respect with those eyes. so as you can see, but i made the parade, is the drawing. and the music is fair. the day, which was originally opened in 1935 in soviet times, to showcase the cultural fruit, industrial pro with all the different soviet republics. now it's performed the focus of big concerts and events here in moscow. and today the focus is most deb.
