the common ground, the the and the headlines despite the west and attendance to suppress all world care at all t we are expanding and reaching new milestones in africa. well, that's coming straight from our editor in chief margarita symbol. yeah. and at the russia, africa ministerial for iran, it rejects the us claims of what's behind an electric lot to a stops. and i t american officials including president elect donald trump, saying design is orchestra to the conspiracy to destroy relations between the 2 and a german m. p lays back why europe is talking to us with a conflict with russia, and it's all about ukraine's mineral resources. so he says, piece of side is the us economy. there's lots of sites the

right that just off at 6 pm locally here on saturday and most go on t is lines and world western countries are still trying to manipulate nations on the african continent of resorting to age old neo colonial tactics. that's the message from russia. as for ministry, spokeswoman, the russia, africa administer real for and we support healthy competition like this is the main difference between russia and the former west and mutual places that are absent against this. now, with the help of the tools of new colonialism to maintain their dominance in various regions of the world, they're trying to treat in africa as they have done for centuries. and what do we mean by new colonialism? yes, it has. various manifestations is from the purely political and ideological to the economic and use it as a manipulation of people's consciousness for little confused and conflicts impose and destructive ideological attitude area. so this has sabotage in the information space or financial and economic pressure. i think the, the use of dominance,

international organizations and the use of the doors as a weapons and you're going to its limits, the development of the countries it through unfair competition. right. cause a lot to a correspondent off. he's, i don't know quarter either. he's on, can you bring us some of the highlights of what else is being said that this ongoing for well, there was a lot of talk about freedom of speech and the flow of information and how the so called democratic west seems almost always determines to frustrate those 2 things, i mean, uh, the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie is a heart of a said that that and in combination with western propaganda actually constitute one of the main reasons why many people don't know what's actually going on. and the ukraine conflict with america, not the monster's less than propaganda, has blocked the west and public's ability to get to firsthand information. it has blocked the ability of politicians and the west to make the right decisions. it has

blog, the possibility not only for the west, but also for the international community as a whole, to understand what is happening around ukraine. and of course, the sanctions apply to our network r t as well. our studios were closed across europe effectively banding. any alternative opinions on russia and ukraine conflict and this is something that our editor in chief margarita c. manion talked about at length at this, russia, africa partnership form. she said that the west is essentially acting like big brother when they get them at all to you in sputnik are probably the last media to know to means of mass destruction, which are precisely a means of mass media and the means of co operation a. but it's even we launched mind blowing outdoor advertising for all t in africa. amazing because it shook the imagination of, for example, joseph burrell, not smell. he complained when he saw rob advertising fuel and as soon as the t brand appears, videos are immediately blocked on facebook, instagram, youtube,

everywhere. as soon as big brother b s b. i. and everyone else finds out that this has something to do with us. but what's interesting actually is that despite all these censorship and all these sanctions are to actually continues to grow with broadcast and african languages and new hosts from the continent of our shows as well. one of which is the famous human rights activists printer, patrice little mumble, who has his own show called the members africa on our network, as well. on top of that, our keys academy has a presence in 35 countries. and just last year, in 2023, we received over 1000000000 views. collectively this is all thanks to the african countries really. and it's something that margaret assume on. yeah. and also talked about during her speech. when you percentage say, i want to thank each of you and those with whom you work at home to your relatives and friends for being with us in these conditions. a virtually exhaustive sanctions that have been imposed by the so called civilized world in order to stop russia's

development. and i am convinced that they would have been imposed even if that had not been a special military operation to unload you. i would like to thank you for being such a grateful continent for remembering that russia didn't show up any one's hands off or stuck any one in ships, vinny and everything we have ever done in africa. i mean, russia and the multi ethnic russian people. we have helped built towards killed and you and most importantly we have been friends that i hope this will continue and will only strength and skill. but i thank you very much. my pleasure. hold on. we are now pooled costing and 3 languages in africa and will increase upload costing in the sense that we will build cost in native african languages. you should 90 percent of the class. so all ortiz presidents continues to expand across the african continent and the face of censorship and sanctions. it just goes to show how much interest there will always be for alternative opinions and how difficult

it will always be to stifle them. yeah, and did it, was that something that joseph burrell said in relation to what margarita was referring to, burrell saying that the heads of the people of africa, that heads need to be reprogrammed because they have this pro russian 10 some of these days. i'm so glad you're back and covering this for us all to use. i don't know quarter. thank you. well, the sidelines on before and we caught up with the director general bagel to chop company a bryce and the water. and he explained why his firm is helping to build bridges between comp in the summer. we know that there is a strong cooperation between russia and the central african republic. the summit today is the russian african summit and diplomatic relations. and the blue medic relations. it's important to note that we establish bilateral corporation and all our business and root car bridges. the gap between the 2 countries. this is what brings us here today in the federal republic of russia. we are, i wouldn't say neutral, but we follow carefully will be called geo politics in terms of jump politics. the western parties and the parties, one would say more on the russian side. so we,

as for comes to be a positive to marketing, close cooperation with russia, and we support the efforts of the federal states and brush over to lies and no strategic economic, political and security plans to bring development to africa. but a ron has denied claim to is behind and alleged plot to assassinate president elect . donald trump, it does come off of the us, drafted department has charged on iranian national in connection with this whole plan. or if it's around in the system, the accusations of patients, the spokes person is male bug. how you categorically dismissed allegations that iran was involved in, attempts to assassinate former and current us officials and described the claims is completely baseless and rejected. he emphasized that repeating such claims at this juncture is a malicious conspiracy, orchestrated by a zionist, an anti uranian circles aimed at further complicating the issues between the us and iran. i don't want statements. golf course comes after. sweet people have been

charged in a series of a lived wrong linked murder plots were with one of them. accused of trying to assassinate president elect, donald trump, and others targeting got any of one in americans active as then choose jewish americans living in new york. that's according to a criminal complaint on sealed a friday in new york. there are few actors in the world that poses grave a threat to the national security of the united states. as does iran, the justice department has charged an asset of the iranian regime. who was tossed by the regime to direct a network of criminal associates to further ron's assassination plots against its targets, including president elect donald trump. one of those people, of course, his name is 5 hard shock, carry identified by the f b i as an assets of it was just want me to cover lucian guards for the i r d. c. he's suspected to be in to run. the complaint alleges that the our gc instructed

him to surveil and target trump as we tell you ation for the killing of cost. and so the money, the former commander of the i r g c votes for so which is up in charge of external operations by the r g c. of course now we start to re was reportedly tasked by the i r g c to carry out also other assassination plots against us. and these really individual. busy is within the united states, including targeting trump in a previous statements during the a riley in september or trump said that everyone was actively aiming to target him and issued for us. so for television, with bombs against that one. if i were the president, i would inform the threatening country. in this case, the red said if you do anything to harm to this person, we are going to below your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens. we're going to blow at this smithereens. you can't do that,

and there would be no more threats. that would be no more threats. back then. it won't set those allegations are clearly part of the west election climate and serve specific political goals, making them quote, unworthy of a response right after trump $1.00 to 2024 election. yvonne called his victory and opportunity for the united states to we assess past wrong policies. of course during go. his 1st term trump problem to dark memories for he won. the 1st is his withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, as part of his so called maximum pressure, a campaign against san juan. and the 2nd, and perhaps most important, is the killing and the assassination of general across them. so the money his assassination took place, direct order from donald trump back in january 2020, and of course back then, yvonne vowed revenge. but the country has never officially mentioned that it would assassinate tromp. or for this incident,

i'll put the one has said that trump must be arrested and be brought to justice. so if it needs to be seen once more, i will surface out of this new case as much of the work. busy that is a pace donald trump's 2nd time of the white house we get in touch with a relative of a future. second lady who shove box over now. and so a village in india to hear what she has to say. she is not that good bye said i the cost me that was the the one in the same, the vision loving ones, there's every chance of coming up. so how do i do with these through her associations? the speeches and the company didn't gotten reaction. she would games or, or more she should headed in yeah. as

a new dig wires. but let me really do the lower the rooms. she asked, but not as she has been many and i should in ball need is does not she is the garden anyway, but she has to take sides when is in so putting when he makes a quiz and she has to think about it and then do that in my have leg. yeah, it's got the flight let's one of the buzz. me a list of the the has gone to the sun and

the love to some, not the easily shop. a suicide bombing at a railway station and pakistan has killed at least 25 people. that's according to officials. i should warn you, the road is starting images a head for you. at least at least 50 authors will go in the block to watch this camera footage. there it is. it's the bottle of just on region of the south of the country at the footage, capturing the moment of the attack as people were on a positive platform. now the largest on liberation army separatist group, finding responsibility saying that was targeting a soldiers at the station renaissance. the investigation is already under way all eyes on the financial price because it's always about money. isn't it? a german lawmaker who suggested that the true nature of his country's involvement in ukraine conflict is to make money off the mineral rich don and bass region. i believe me have a listen to this because i don't know to i'm looking at donald trump in the fact

that couldn't, might just take done best to make a peace. we all wish that piece would come some day from the valuable, but this also has economic consequences which have to she comes of trends. and i believe that 80 percent of ukraine's mineral resources are in john best and then coating has the have done put. there is a lot of listing which is important for battery production history, which we need so urgently here in this country. so doing it, in other words, besides, this also has an immediate economic impact will speak to it as in our own interests and not just sit idly by and watch the switch as even or am i seeing this wrong to and i understand you absolutely. you are absolutely right, so this is in our economic interest. and you have rare earth mentos natural resources reserves of oil and gas. and it also holds a viable transport and trends it infrastructure for europe. now it's reported the $24.00 out of fuel of, out of the use $34.00 critical minerals are in ukraine. but of course, all of that is on polls currently due to the conflict. now leave p m, which they've had a focus on for a while now,

is present at various locations in ukraine that would include the biggest reserves being done by us, which is now part of process new territories. leave him is of course, one of the most needed resources for every country. no wonder. they seem to be stressed about the issue. it plays a critical and much of what we need and what we doing our daily lives. it is essentially an essential part of that. the college you, the powers mobile phones, computers, battery storage of energy generated from wind and solar powers. and now the e. u has a limited access to that to the point that the conflict in ukraine is now being called the 1st a late fee of a war. now, going back to germany, germany has made it clear. they're not even hiding it, that they are ready to continue this conflict for resources at the expense of ukraine and the central of ukraine. there is the adult world block and looking deposit, which is much richer and much

a much better and much more exploitable. and then of course, this situation for europe, it gets worse because europe could, could get most of the mentors that's necessary for energy transition from ukraine. us at the end of the day, you know, obviously for how long now i'm a drama drama is economy is basically being flat lining or starting to contract as so many countries in europe all these days. i mean, i guess maybe it's no surprise that germany would be looking to the mineral resources which part of ukraine. so i guess a caching us bucks in a sense get some, got some good. so and on the investment, right, of course, and it's not just germany or the, you know, the us plays a huge part in this as well. there's lindsey graham and other us lawmakers who made it clear that new plane is essentially blessed with significant amounts of lithium and older minerals and resources. and those are necessary for the u. s. economy. now here also added leaders. ingram added the oil. you claim these is more weapons

in order for the us to get their hands on those resources. but if anything and agreements with ukraine in this area would the make the us less dependent on foreign adversary's for these where minerals and they're sitting on free and dollars worth of metals are to be good our economy. so i want to keep telling our friends and ukraine, but uh, what did truck do to get the weapon slowing? he created a loan system. they're sitting on $10.00 to $12000.00 of critical minerals and, and you train, they could be the richest country and all of europe. now you can see their dedication to get hold of those minerals and resources. i mean, the west and the us specifically has spent billions of dollars in aid for of, on ukraine, only in the pursuit of it's economic interests. now, the question remains, how will ukraine pay them back? now it seems that the idea here is the payment from ukraine would be through is minerals and resources. well, let me know about america and g 7 countries having

a big opportunity for resources. go back to iraq, for example, that go back to syria with trump is not what made it well a number of times that it was. what about the oil and then of the day that's still taking what? 80 percent of serious oil every single day, any, any revelations, when it comes to this in the energy resource ukraine? anything from southern scheme. so it seems that despite how vocal western politicians are about their true nature and their goal for you brain, it's not a huge problem. and i mean zelinski himself proposed to share those resources. is piece plan if we remember, consists of signing a special agreement on, on a common use of your ways. critically we sources like lead fee of titanium, gas and even others. so villa ski is hinting that ukraine would become a free market for all if russia is defeated. yup, showing. today we paid special attention to the economic costs by default, victory plans, and particularly regarding the special economic opportunities in ukraine and

critical resources that must not fall onto the boston controls. really, europe and the whole 3 worlds has to get more economic power. thanks to all conservation the normal life. but this by to be a huge amount of money that is spent on ukraine numbers don't lie and numbers prove that ukraine is losing on the battlefield. i mean, the country has lost 4420 ukranian soldiers in the past week alone, and that is according to russia's ministry of defense. but the west of it seems that for the west, there it cannot make interest some more important than the lives of civilians and soldiers that are lost due to the conflict. so job i didn't knew very well, but ukraine was due to fail. this whole being revealed now by the former ukrainian foreign minister to meet that equal level were sole stacks of intelligence documents of the white house, just days before the conflict kicked off with russia. however,

he ignored the warnings on that, and instead of looking for a piece, he actually hoped to prove america wrong habit. listen, you know most the light in how def folder on his desk, which clearly said that ukraine will die. that is in time machine of intelligence, military, political analysts see i, every thing was the same. ukraine is dead. the 2nd thing is that it's not just his brain, not just his thoughts, but also his heart was very worried about the crane. well, he was worried and he was ready to do everything to stay with what is left if you grade. that's why we're extremely lucky that joe biden, at the time of the full scale invasion us president, was job. i didn't because he is the only president the united states of america since 1991 to whom you crate is not just the point on the map, but a point in his cause. a place that has a place in his aut. well, that's how it went. i understood that all the conclusions were made and i went home to find for all the analysts of the united states of america to make

a mistake. and that calculations about you crate number, who really is quite the revelation right? that let's discuss this now with the pressure of the institute of european studies and bell, great stuff on guy is not joining us here or not. you international stuff on thanks for checking us out today with us. mike. good news to me that we have it right. so all the intelligence branches in america they told abide in the ukraine, didn't stand a chance against russia. but there were, of course, the scrambled heads in washington that we decided to lo be key of to fight. i guess so if i wanted to ask, you know, what was the motivation to seek more and not piece a this was not a mistake. this was a premeditated murder. that was exactly what the united states wanted. and when we listen to what so lindsey graham was mentioned that your program and just a couple of minutes earlier. uh, what he said about the warranty through europe is that, uh, this is the band is killing the russians is the best investment that they can make

because they are wholly sending money and weapons. of course, there are some specialist that were assigned a long sized box. she wasn't all that wrong because from the standpoint of washington, and especially of the people who remember the cold war, both ukrainian and russian soldiers, they are only a russian for them because they all used to belong to the armies. and there are fighting out they are a successors of the red army, the army that was opposing the united states in the cold war, and was potentially to go in more against the us or vice versa. so uh, from the standpoint of washington, it is russians killing russians, some ukrainians. don't understand, of even get offended if somebody would tell them the revelation that actually the russians for the rest of the west. boston, that is how it is and the of the and go, i mean the best case scenario for, for nature would be of course, some kind of regime change in moscow. yeah. so this whole then,

so this illusion of russia and then plastic o, a colonial overtake of on the line. but the 2nd best solution is watts on which is already known to joe biden. and that is that you crazy lose. so now what they want, they want to take the spoils. so that is what i recall the here, this uh the narrative about the korean scenario about the tools that should happen. so during this, choose the western companies such as black rock that is interested to leave them both in ukraine, serbia and other places is going to take the land, the spoils. and uh, uh, and, and with that money. uh, they will say that uh, the ukraine has to be, you know, uh, pay for all the defense. i draw the now what i'm quote, pretty bad is the office pretty status stuff off to offer a country has been a, should we say broad on the hill by southern west of the office. i just want to ask you stuff on so. so the former ukrainian for administered to me 3 collab,

but he was in washington. he was in the white house, he sold the stock because of entailed documents. he understood immediately that it explain. ukraine doesn't stand a challenge. they've got to rush against russia. ukraine will lose then how did qu labor and how did zelinski agree to go along with his fine? i mean, i'm sorry, may, but i should be more diplomatic. i con, be. do you think that will give it like suitcases of cash or something with a bride? to go along with his agenda to bring russia to his needs, let's say that they have certainly had a very strong motive to behavior like that. so i just wanted to remind you of a speech very significant speech that i often mention by jord friedman that took place here in bel rate in 2014, 10 years ago. where among other things he said that you can never go wrong with ukrainians. being stupid to themselves and this isn't exactly. i wouldn't say that this happens because recommendation probably or bribery uh and uh and,

and stupidity because uh what the uh, the motivation of the life he and his sleek was. it was power. the only way for them to have the support on the west and to stay empower is to throw people into war to throw people as cannon fodder to die for the interests of a black rock of western companies of nature of the united states. and unfortunately, they have been doing so, and as i said from western point of view, this was so far, quite an investment because they sold this as russians could easily russians. so that is why they still have a calculation, even under trump. now that may be a choose can happen a some kind of a half measure that will give them time to lose the leaves them and, and whatever they need from. uh, what is left of your grade while they're preparing a new war against russia. that's uh, we've gone once,

the industry picks up the base off of, uh, creating enough weapons. and once there are new, mobilize the troops and mercenaries that they would get for all over the world. and maybe even the roughly equal some allies of nato into a such an adventure. yes, i don't think that frustrates, going to forward this to golf course for any kind of hot measures. and this is quite um, understandable uh from uh the latest uh uh, booted speech in while die club. uh so um, but i do expect the us to continue with this. and i think like i said before, you step out, they're going to continue that. but they're also trying to continue, for example, in georgia and moldova, they, they won't be to be the new proxy flash points to provide russia. i mean, the brussels is trying to bribe multiple a to bentley and euro to join the you and georgia is, you know,

the n g o they are americans unhappy with this reason, the election that the parliamentary election with a pro russia party one. meantime, a, you know, you know, biden's been cutting, sometimes people with you to the end. but you case like we're gonna finance your credit for the next 100 years. but at the end of the day, as you said, black rock, a multinational corporations look into a rate on page as per usual stuff on guy edge, professor at the institute of european studies and bell. great, it is always a pleasure. thank you very much. thanks for having shifting gears to southern lebanon, waco, where at least 7 have been killed in 46 wood at the latest is riley strike this time the city of tire. it's all confirmed by local health officials shows and pictures which basically speak for themselves devastating off them off look at that rescue is saying that you have no idea how many people are in that rubble, just 80 kilometers away the lebanese capital, again, becoming one of well again, the light is talking to the ideas. we'll show you a fires and very rude residential area as putnam over it doesn't cause a blaze,

while the main overnight is ready strikes in the capital city. that's a how does report announce wants visa sweeney. on friday evening, more than 10 strikes in the southern suburb of da here last off. the last of the last is well did issue evacuation order, as we know aware of any civilian casualties, but the intensity of that form baldwin of the liberties capital continues. now that they route did have a low, there was a day without bombing, but on wednesday, as well again, struck us southern sub, i'm very close to the international airport. now. this is a closely strike to the international airport so far, which sits in that southern suburb. you can probably see it now. behind me, the apple remains open for now, but they're all serious risk and serious concerns. the is where i may from the airport. so forcing it to close, folding again across the country,

continues this morning, 6 people being killed in becca, which states in the east of the country on the historic city of ty, at well attacks. and that took place on friday have killed at least 9 people with 30 more wounded. the rescue efforts will they continue to gain on saturday morning? they paused on friday night so that that's all good indeed. rise. now, the situation here, when it remains incredibly volatile about sci fi, well it seems a, a sub for the distance away. now that it was there are reports that the us invoice for 11 and i was hosting is due to arrive in the liberties capital by room next week. in the meantime, the buttons continues are full. this is stace, really for all the environs that you can see more work from the state sweeney online at all to dot com. in the meantime, that is a rough for now, but we have a back soon with the

the the, the group up the rest attribute them, which is which is what? because of the commission. i do intend to give you so many of those insurance, which is, which is, seems a little bit as to the cause of the risk of them as a surprise. us least restore to the lack of things, the money to buy, to brussel moving. so i need to.
