the the, the ticket stubs g d pounds. his name does. donald trump pick for vice president. and his acceptance speech, the ohio sen. almost a whole 100 dodge for foreign allies, but stop short of mentioning ukraine. instead taking aim at china, we will protect the wages of american workers and stop the chinese communist party from building their middle class on the backs of american citizens. who go to the now they repeated like a montrose. we will support you frame for as long as it takes, i wonder how long it will take in afghanistan, it took 20 years to realize that you lost rushes for administer warren's western states against that prolongation of the ukraine. conflict in a media briefing at un headquarters for expressing the most coolest hopes and the

peace thoughts, but said the terms must be realistic. canyon police from protests and nairobi, one month after a wave of demonstrations against i left by tak sites, salt cellphones, pills across the east african the one in the afternoon and as one in a month on here in most school this thursday. welcome to the news. our donald trump rolling mates for the upcoming us presidential election must be the months under these william g. the events, the senator from ohio himself confirmed the news. while speaking of the ongoing republican party convention focusing on the need, he says to reverse the damage done by the current administrators to dubai has been a politician in washington for longer than i've been alive. 39 years, a couple of harris is not much further behind for half a century,

he's been the champion of every major policy initiative to make america weaker and poor. so who is a, what does he stand for? a r t stalled quarter told me more about the selected republican vice presidential . the vance is only 39 years old. i mean that's quite a young age for a vice presidential candidate, but that wouldn't be the 1st time that this has happened actually. i mean, if we go back to richard nixon, he was the same age when he became a vice presidential candidate himself. and when f d r became a vice presidential candidate, he was even a year younger. so both those people even went on to become president. the so this obviously could be something uh, potential for advanced and his future. of course, we don't know at this point, so it's important not to disregard the statements that he's making right now. i think, especially when it comes to his statements, like not allowing us allies free rides abroad and actually trying to prevent

needless deployments of american troops there. together. we will make sure our allies share in the burden of securing world peace. no more free rides for nations that betray the generosity of the american taxpayer. together we will send our kids to war only when we must. but as president trump showed with the elimination devices and so much more when we punch, we're going to punch hard. now on that last part of his statement, actually, i think it's important, understands that i mean, isis was defeated mainly by russia's military operation in syria. and on the other hand, washington is largely blamed for being responsible for the emergence of isis, and just generally destabilizing the region. pretty composite remarks that they know free writing on the us comments that we just sold there don't as well. was anyone mentioned specifically? well, no, actually in that is sort of big surprise that came out of his speech because he's

been making all of the statements about withdrawing aid from ukraine, saying that the crating and war effort is pretty much helpless at this point. but there was no mention of that at his speech to the republican national convention. and that kind of makes sense when you think about it, because obviously the majority of his audience, there were a republicans who support, actively zalinski is received in key as. but that's one of the main reasons also why they're so unpopular and why benz has established a track record of opposing these supported policies towards ukraine throughout the past. and he's also rising through the ranks of the republican party as a result. i think that it is absurd for us to devote so many resources so much attention and so much time to a border conflict, 6000 miles away. there was in fact, a peace deal on the table approximately 18 months ago. and what happened to it, the by the administration pushed zalinski to set aside the peace agreement and to

engage in a disastrous counter offensive. every single objective observer of ukraine more acknowledges today that the war is going worse for ukraine than it was 18 months ago. could we have avoided it? yes, we could, mister president, and we should have avoided it. we would have saved a lot of lives. we would have saved a lot of american weapons. and we would have had this country in a much, much more stable and much better place if we had. so this freshman sen turned vice presidential candidate is obviously taking some firm positions on ukraine, which are generally considered controversial in the american political sphere. but at this speech, not a peep about it, not a peep at the bottom, but one country was explicitly mentioned when it comes to protecting us interests or pro correct. that's right. of course, he pointed the finger at china saying that it was washington's main competitor in the world stage, but he also pretty much reiterated the main stream republican position of accusing beijing of getting rich off of the backs of americans. we will protect the wages of

american workers and stop the chinese communist party from building their middle class on the backs of american citizens. there's one day left of the republican national convention and we're expected to hear a speech from presidential candidate donald trump as well. but with vance sort of shying away from his more controversial positions on ukraine. we're going to have to see if this do oh, between trump and vance. if they come to power, if they're actually gonna follow up on what they were talking about on the campaign trail, or if it's going to be another election disappointment for the american people. while i discussed why the junior, senator from ohio golf, the vice presidential knots with former member of the pennsylvania state senate spruce marks who's also attending this week's republican convention. one reason is it j. d. vance, is that what we call a mega make america? great. republican and he is completely endorsed the trop agenda. i think that

donald trump wanted somebody who support his agenda. i think the 2nd reason is that it's a j. d. vance because he's, he's like me. i'm from west virginia. these from southern ohio were from what's called a half of what, the appellation. it's a 4 areas of the country, j. d van to somebody who came up from nothing. they came up from poverty. i can't say that that was my background and, and we have some very key states. pennsylvania which is next to ohio, wisconsin, mich, michigan. and i think the president trump believes that j, the vance will be uh, tremendous. uh that, uh, addition to the ticket there. and the 3rd reason and probably the most important reason, the trump church id pads, is that he thought that he would be if there was a need that he would be capable of the successor president and up. and i think that he thinks also j the vans because it was angie's only 39 that he will continue this

trump movement after trump finishes his. his 2nd term lesson j. d vance is a working class. somebody who came up from the, you know, from poverty and became a, became a success. donald trump is somebody that, of course, he didn't come to bob re far from it. but he is somebody who's employed thousands and thousands of workers in the construction trade in the casinos and so forth. joe biden has and created a single job and his entire tire career with the possible exception of 100 by didn't because he got paid millions of dollars because it was joe biden, son from very smart and ukraine, please. so i think that the american working public, i think the union people i of the working class, i think that they recognize that the, that they trump dance ticket is going to be a very strong tickets movies for working people, particularly because they want to secure the border that's why he previously said he strongly oppose sending military aid abroad,

particularly to ukraine because we have our own issues. he said. busy on the board or at so why is tax payer dollars going abroad? but you may have noticed he didn't mention the ukraine conflict during his speech at the r n c. instead focusing on china was that's was the prop straightens to. so he's a very practical, pers, these america 1st and what he's saying is, what are we doing now? why can't we kind of find a way to resolve this situation? ukraine and not spin, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars in a war where it's not helping russia for, for you, craig. and so i think that that's the message he's sending, that we need to find the present, present company become present again, needs to find a way to have meaningful discussions with president posing for a little bit of pressure on president so landscape. and let's not forget, president trump had a good relationship with president susan. i think that that's very important,

joe biden. what had of his way to insult present it to me. and i don't think that that's a way to, to, to reach a diplomatic solution on the, on the issues that affect russia and ukraine. it'd be well in another notable moment from the republican convention, a congressman from florida. this the say about his rival party under barton harris . inflation has gotten so bad. you can no longer bribe democrats senators with cash alone. you have to use pay bowers just sort of brought to you the congressman was referring to the guilty verdict. conduct done this week to us democrats sen above menendez, who's being convicted on charges of corruption on taking bribes from foreign governments. katara allegedly being one about doing a search of his homes, 13 gold bars for a phone together with half

a $1000000.00 in cash. menendez dismissed the judgment calling himself a patriot sounds like choosing the jury of putting members of the senate. a risk. i have never violated mine. i have never been any risk facing the spite proclaiming his innocence on patriotism. the politician who had represented new jersey since 2006 was convicted of 16 different con, to related to bribery. the extortion, menendez was known for his outspoken support for further aid to keep on punishing russia while accusing donald trump was acting as a foreign agent for most go of europe's latest efforts that they hopefully will consolidate this week of having a oil and gas embargo against russia will be

a huge blow moving forward. we must do more to focus this tool on russia. the primary source of so much of the corruption we see around the world. uh, at a time that ukraine is having a day of national, remember, and for all of those lives that have been lost, we get a message that the president seeking to cut off 250000000 dollars. something that we haven't been advised of at the senate foreign relations committee. so the president here is it's totally up. i can't understand. it's not there is no good policy reason. this isn't about money. we gave a record amount of money to the administration in this past deal. what we heard from new york base, legal and media, i'm of this line. well, who sees the menendez bribery verdict leads to many questions over just how wide spread corruption among us lawmakers may be. i'm curious as to his reason, you know, i'm a lawyer by professional who is a former prosecutor in

a trial lawyer now. and i always want to find out what is the defense. you know, what do you claim when, when the f b, i seizes a series of gold bars, serial numbers on them about a half a 1000000, maybe 400000 plus in cash, bundled in shoes. so created a mercedes, ben was what i find fascinating is they is people who are asked ok if he's such a bad guy. why didn't you just get rid of him like you did congress me george santos expelled him. well, maybe we, it seems to me, maybe the translation is, the democrats are a little busy right now, but i must bring up this. there's always cases of corruption, especially you'll hear it. the president trump is around. they never me say exactly what it is. this is corruption, meadows from gold bar stacks of cash and

a jury. so say we all guilty of all charges. this is as corrupt as you get. and by the way, you had a prior charge. similar to this, where the jury was unable to reach a verdict. so that was a hung jury. well, what does it show you? absolute cover up. but here's the best one. he said this is going to impair. this is going to impede senators, ability to do their job, to serve as clients. there was this crazy thing, years ago of foreign agents. you know, are you registered as a foreign agent? everybody's had to be a foreign agent. this was during the initial parts of the barbara. well now the very, i guess charge forced by his own chart is his being, in essence an actual for an agent. so it's very delicious. this turn of events of the rushes, foreign minister hoss, fielded questions from the global medium after his speech had wedding stays. un security council session on the middle east in new york. the news conference

coverage, regional and global security issues with circle of ralph, comparing washington's policy in ukraine with us actions enough gave us the a seizure. so go to the now they repeat it like a montrose. we will support ukraine for as long as it takes, i wonder how long it will take in afghanistan. it took 20 years to realize that you lost one. or is it true that in iraq, which you also a band and they are now trying to stay, despite the decision of the iraqi parliament that the united states should withdraw its troops of a particular. certainly, there will be the same approach to ukraine as they took in libya for the state to collapse. and now everyone is gluing pods together for them. so the russian foreign ministers spoke about how the recent events in switzerland were not serious. and then how russia has been willing to negotiate from the beginning. but these negotiations have to be realistic. negotiations that are not just aim to pounding the podium and demonizing russia. but actually,

amd at the escalating tensions and getting the conflict toward a ceasefire and resolution. zip schools, not but i w and a course has been taken to push through the so called zalinski plan at any cost which has a pronounced form of an ultimatum. we are ready for negotiations, but given the sad experience of conversations and consultations with the west and ukrainians, when it comes to an agreement that i hope will be reached at some stage of european security. and in this context, the ukraine crisis will be resolved. then we will of course, look very carefully at the wording, and we'll put safe guards in this document against repeated unscrupulous non negotiable interpretations. in his remarks, he reflected on us efforts to crush the economy of china and tell china what products they can produce. in addition to that, he talked about how the use of sanctions by the united states is starting to backfire with new channels of global trade. emerging countries trading with each other without the united states or the western banking system functioning as the

middle man. and how all of this in the long term is not really going to benefit the united states and its people. the world seems to be shifting. now he's specifically address the rise of india on the global stage and us efforts to stop india from asserting itself as a regional and global power. this usually populated country with a very big economy, zillions zelinski or someone from his team took offense to render, embodies visit to russia, calling it a step in the back to all peacekeeping efforts. the indian ministry of external affairs invited the ukrainian ambassador and explained to him how to behave. i think india is very dignified, but the fact that the west makes claims even to such powers as china and india means firstly shows a lack of culture, an inability to engage in diplomacy at all. and secondly, it is a failure of political analysts. she went into detail that describing the humanitarian catastrophe, and also talking about how the united nation seems to be talking out of both sides

of its mouth, condemning the bombing of hospitals and has rarely atrocities but not really holding israel accountable for crimes against the palestinian people. now he emphasized that russia would like to see a ceasefire in gaza, a ceasefire that can pave the way to negotiations the returning of the hostages, etc. and ultimately, russia would like to see the military operation being carried out by israel brought to a close and from there they could then resume negotiations toward the establishment and international full recognition of the palestinian state. and that is what russia would like. but at the same time that russia and the overwhelming majority of the international community, more or less, once this, there are very clearly forces that are trying to escalate the conflict in gaza to a whole nother level that involves the entire region. here are some very insightful comments. he gave about the situation in the middle east and the efforts to expand

it beyond the gaza strip. shooting at the cliff, believe it feels like there's a will to provoke, has the law as experts believe in order to ensure the us enters the conflict directly? i hope the west will do everything. make sure these thoughts, if israel ever has them, will remain no more than thoughts or better yet will be forgotten. we're doing everything to suit the situation. some politicians clearly want to utilize regional factors to kindle a bigger war here. this is a short sighted and blind alley policy. we actively stand against it with our allies like arrow countries and the islamic world. it must not be allowed to happen in all of his remarks and emphasize the fact that russia seeks peace and international development and does not seek to inflame tensions in any regions. he emphasized multi polarity, the new world that's rising, the new economy that has taken place and an emerging and the developing world with russia in china, the center of it, and why western leaders should give up this superior already complex. they seem to have this notion that they will always sit at the center of the global economy and

always have the right to dictate the countries around the world. how they should conduct themselves, how their governments should function and who they should trade with, and how their economies should be set up. a young marty couple have been killed in a ukrainian drilling strike on russia's border region of belgrade, according to local authorities, they were in their car, some 10 kilometers from the frontier with ukraine when the vehicle was hit. the couple of were killed on this bolt, reportedly leaving 2 children orphaned for residential areas. were also bombed by keeps trips. some of the latest footage here show a civilian buildings that were had. well, since the, i'd pick up the ukraine conflict in february 2022 more than 200 civilians have been killed, 1100 injured as a result of ukrainian strikes on belgrade. local officials recently restricted access to 14 border tons, the regions governor

a non stop check point start to be set up with public transport from entering those own stopped the measures are expected to come into force next week as well. earlier we spoke to the us army veteran who recently returned from the belgrade region. scott bennett says the us is committing acts of terror against russian civilians which he believes the mountains to a declaration of i was, i was in belgrade because i was so horrified that the united states had declared war against russia by attacking the russian regions. i evidenced, i documented i took photographs, i did the interviews. the united states is committing acts of terrorism against innocent russian civilians and beller bella rod and share a bank. and that it must immediately cease and desist, as well as investigate the military personnel and the political personnel, and the bite administration who are giving these orders. this is a declaration of war against russia. it is only because of russia's enormous

patients and character and wisdom that they are not reacting to this as a, as a declaration of war, which divided administration wants the canyon police of pre agreed upon demonstrations in the countries capital for security reasons. it tells us a series of government protests over in the only popular tucked psych bill turn violent . you may recall the past month or so doesn't scale, then hundreds more injured ortiz miller for you come gaze across the story. a statement has been issued. i hate to of another round of coaches to, to be held on thursday. the statement to was released by the police. we explained that the lack of takes the lead among the protesters has made it a very challenging for them to enforce safety protocols in that same statement to the acting inspector general of police has also disclose that intended to this report indicates the organized criminal groups padding to exploit the ongoing

protest to carry out attacks and routing. and since the 18th of june, thousands of young canyons have marched in cities and towns of protesting against a proposed i'm taxable that has since been withdrawn. and tuesday's approach, which has been the basis and the series of the demonstrations business own, is the add a 3 this stuff with significant losses as the looting continues forcing operations to come to a stand still near between 2 counties. and the police say already kenya has lost so much in the past 30 days, so no demonstrations would be permitted until further notice. since the public demonstrations by kenyan news began in june, this year, a country has experienced enormous losses. people have been injured, lawyers lost property, and businesses destroyed unlikely hoods loss. criminals have continued to infiltrate the protesting groups, resulting in a troubling trend of disorderly and destructive conduct. as a result,

no demonstrations will be permitted into no robi central business, district and surroundings until further notice to ensure public safety. this has been done before the government and police of bad demonstrations became yeah. but citizens always defy those orders and things turn quite violent of 11 does a for the same will happen even this time. what does it mean by at the high talk the demonstrations of parliament was formed. some of its buildings was set on fire in the days the following that hundreds were wristed and interrogated. if something happens to be used, as is would charge to port swallow according to kenya's, the national commission on human rights need is 60 protests to the remain missing. also understands that more than 50 people have died out of the protest and more than 400 others have been injured. now the recent images of seeing all of protesters once again out to the streets of marching singing songs, mocking the president austin to resign. also save the one just as for those people

that have been killed, the one police to reveal the whereabouts. often the thousands were still missing, but most important to the primary demands that include government accountability and good governance. and that's the spot to the police. lobbying t, a guess on them, and they say that will not stop until they to moans. i mean, i live on the bus out of here. jacob, i learned i am here quite a lot less than a light vision of mine. run to justice, which must been for the people who are a must have got you go to work. one big blue must be with the president papers and we had a budgeting full is in the public domain. don't call us well they, i know, you know, what is the right for us? here's what he's. i'm only got the yes to leave office. the media to fix. yes. to stay until we can see like we belong to this country. so if the president

thinks we are going anywhere, we don't know, maybe he thinks we are going to sit down and talk with you. we are not going to do that because i and even if it demands possibly the me i'm going to do the, the president has made positions, has withdrawal, and the original text proposals that spock to the protest is also set to use entire cabinets. the chief of police have even designed, but still the approach is continues and already experts and the amnesty international, the kenya war, and that it'd be handling off to protest risk continue back to the doctor space of the 19th. this is a 9 to the today, july, the 18th, to marks the birthday of sites for his 1st president, nelson mandela. the late leader went on in history for his empty apartheid efforts, becoming an icon across the globe on this day, the world owners mantell as legacy active as an unbiased un secretary general

antonio gutierrez, of this the say. know some of the show those, the x that order the difference one person can make in building a better world. and there's the theme of these. he is nelson mandela international that reminds us, going back to poverty, indian equality, easy, know, and we can choose the to the kids poverty. we can choose to in the, in a quality we can choose to transform the international economic and financial system in the name of equity. we can choose the fights, racism, respect, human rights, going back to climate change and create the world that works for all humanity. but earlier i got the chance to speak to nelson mandela's brown torture to quine montela, who shared some memories of her venerated from father. it was the same in public because he was in private. he was really loving and he had a great sense of humor. and i think that we as his grandchildren had

a far different relationship that he did to his children because it kind of, you know, sensitizing to the world when he came out of prison that he didn't necessarily know anything about it. um, you know, the small things like how much things cost. um, i remember who agreed to, you know, the local gas station to go to get snacks because my cousins and navigating together to watch, to match the soccer match. and one of my cousins and said orthopedics, he's bringing some philippines and you know, my grandfather says what i should have been doing something but to eat. so, you know, he was very engaging and you know, he would always, again, lots of stories with a when he was younger and experiences that he went through. so you know, he wasn't a normal grandfather in that sense. not at all sure that you're old enough to remember when he was released in 1990. after spending those 27 years on robin island in prison for a posing a part type. but if you do what was up day, like we're actually going out on that day as

a family and when and where it is still in the us at the time living in the u. s. at that time because my parents are studying there. as we walked out of our apartment, um, you know, do a media trucks outside uh, in general it's outside. so my mom said to them, what do you guys do? yeah, and they said, didn't you know if your father's deal with needs today? and we all read back upstairs to the apartment, to go and watch and be leased on tv. so does it really is that real feeling? ad was exciting for us, has been shown with the teenage of it, but time was still in high school. and i think, you know, it was just um, an electrifying sense of who uh, you know, that could come back home, you know, and have a normal relationship with our grandfather walked in, meaning those, monday's a whole from modern and a south africa book. i just think it's remembering my grandfather's legacy and remembering his strength and his courage. um and my grandfather was just a,

you know, and a love of human beings in general. um and he believed that um, if we were to be united as a human race, there's nothing that we couldn't accomplish. people need to stop focusing on monday . let the is such to do good work. they should be 3 good works of it in that, in that, in the everyday lives. that's what my grandfather advocated for. and that, you know, if you want to make significant change, that change has to be consistent to quine. montela would love as a rep for this news our but our programs, they're just beginning. see what's on the schedule right ahead here on our t introduction to by the .
