africa. it's hard to comprehend how the youngest fastest growing continent in the world, a region that contains 50% and vast array of minerals and other natural resources failed to garner a clear comprehensive engagement strategy. it is clear that africa status nation and people is not the basket case many narratives portrayed to be. the continent does face challenges that must be met with strong unified international support. priorities developed across the country with support of our partners around the world include combating climate change, diversifying energy resources, stimulating economic growth and improving public health outcome. in the face of democratic backsliding, we have a collective responsibility from good governance and protect human rights. i've heard this from our african counterparts time and time again. they want to partner with the united states are often forced to seek less effective options from foreign competitors. they appear cheap on the surface but impose high cost

africa. they discussed topics including russia and china needs influence, u.s., and africa trade relations and the pandemic response and many others. this runs just over an hour and 20 minutes. >> thank you, thank you all good morning and welcome to a foreign affairs committee. as a part of u.s. leadership on developing and executing. a multilateral approach to africa. thank you to our distinguished panelists my, colleagues for joining us for the discussion today. part of the leadership of joe joe biden, the united states has demonstrated the capacity to lead the international -- and addressing some of the most complex challenges we're facing today. from holding vladimir putin accountable for it is illegal and barbaric invasions of ukraine, to counter china's influence on the end of the pacific and beyond. u.s. leadership on the international stage has proven critical. and galvanizing the support of our partners, and exacting consequences if -- unfortunately, i have yet to see us take the sam

and when we talk about africa fighting against terrorism is africa capable on its own? no, because it will cause a lot of resources that doesn't have the role of the un security council, which is responsible for security and stability in the world. must be to find a fight against terrorism. in africa, africans are ready to fight. they have the armies, they have financial resources to have a long term war. when once they they have pouches on development, health and education, and the building of roads and so forth. so we must start to judge african such a way. every time we talk about the continent capable, of course we're capable. but every one must work together to provide funding and who's giving weapon said the terrace. how is it so suddenly, sometimes in africa, we have tears gangs, and what is become global contribution? to put an end to that? these are all questions that we need to ask ourselves. africa deserves that the international community fund miss. africans can fight. we have the army that the african union has designed as talked about the structure for pea

i think it will calm africa group marginalized according to the method from south africa, the president of the meeting with joe biden. as motion for past new legislation that would punish african countries for cooperating with very well welcome. it's a 6 pm here in the russian capital and you're watching all t international with me. nicky, aaron, it's great to happy with us. i was talking with some breaking news from the border between russia and ukraine, as one person has been killed and 2 others wounded and ukrainian shelling of a village in russia's belgrade region, as, according to local authorities. early on saturday, another deadly ukrainian shelling attack was reported by authorities in don. yes, a warning for you. you may find the following images disturbing. ah, this message from dawn yet. so some of the victims on the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of selling and 4 hours. local authorities have reported. 4 people were killed and 8 others injured and fragments of french howick. the artillery shells were found at the c. a central administrative building was targeted in

the queen story can not be told without africa. we look at the relationship she had with many african countries, also coming up the ra, impacts of climate change on africa, on the failure of the west and show in the commitment africa lead as last out industrialized nations were not showing up at the summit in the dots did to you both of them. it was dedicated to help in african nations adapt to the impact of climate change. i think that as we made the effort to leave africa and come to rotterdam, it would have been easier for the europeans and the others to also be here. after all, they're the main polluters of the planet who is known to the table massive. and i think that's where the struggle is, is that we need to continue to see this as the next special fit for everyone and also just one side of the well ah, i am eddie micah, julia and you are welcome to the program. that is the end of an era. queen elizabeth died after his 70 year reign tribute. subbing pouring in from all over the world would take a look at the queen's relatio

they be stripped from africa. she was 96 years old, so it's to be expected on she's live, go very historic, tremendous life and i hope she can rest in peace. i don't think the death of the queen affects me boys. i am. i'm pretty young and she's a british state and she's a british and i'm canyons it doesn't offer to me that months. clearly mixed reactions there. but one thing is for sure. the story of the queen can not be told without looking at a relationship she had with many african countries. here's why. queen elizabeth had a special relationship with african she turned $21.00 on a visit to south africa. and she was in kenya when she heard that her father, king george the 6th, had died. grievous news of her father's death reached the young queen married 25 at this not. and in the highlands of east africa, she returned home for her coronation. the archbishop lores the 5 pound symbol of might and power, and as he places it upon the queen's head and removes his hands, the assemblage in one voice cries, god save th

having said that, though the queen paid little attention to africa, she seldom mention to africa. and all her attempts to keep the empire alive through the commonwealth did not seem to work here amongst african countries. this sentiment expressed in the next clip is very much representative of the feeling on the ground here, amongst many africans, she was becoming irrelevant here. we know about chinese president jim ping or russian president vladimir putin, not the queen. this was her feeling on the ground that with the passing of the queen, the commonwealth itself might become irrelevant. so, with the queen now gone, you have issues of me or colonialism. issues of african poverty. no longer receiving any more attention than they did when she was alive. so it's no wonder then, many here still that the u. k. has lost africa, largely because again, many people here will tell you that the queen simply did not care about this continent. i was just thinking about the start of africa. i mean, it was the color and diamond that was found in south africa basically and was given was named a

i think it will harm africa marginalized, according to the message from south africa. presidents after meeting with joe biden as motions and propose new legislation that would punish applicant countries cooperating with russia. if you want gas open, know to bring to buy piercing cause the sanctions on the pipeline to be lifted, saying russia has nothing to do with any decline. a very welcome. it's just turned 4 pm here in the russian capital. and this is nancy international with the latest world news that is good to happy with that we start with some breaking news from the border between russia and ukraine, as one person has been killed. and 2 others wounded in ukrainian shelling of a village in russia's belgrade region as, according to local authorities. earlier on saturday, another deadly ukrainian shelling attack was reported by authorities in don. yes, a warning you may find the following images disturbing. ah, they started from dawn. yes, shows that some of the victims and the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of shelling in 4 hours. the man says 4 people have been killed. h

harris, you as president joe biden found in south africa leader settled on was a man to do his africa, biddy everyone's up to buy favor. and that africa with 54 countries, massive voting power in the united nations. more or less split where south africa was neutral. a few countries, formerly opposed sanctions and condemnation of russia in the un. some were pro western, it is one of those periods where doubles your politics has a sort of tectonic shifts and the decline of the west european chaos, u. k. out of europe, the desperation of europe to get fossil fuels from africa. at the same time, they pretend that they care about climate change, which will hit africa. hardest pressure that both the west and the bricks block put on south africa. it's a tug of war that's reminiscent of the old cold war. and what would be logical behind the scenes is for us to offer you can make incentives and other support for south africa that are, i'm opposed to, would not otherwise get. washington is a way the changing of the dynamics to the old world order, and one south africa to be at the point race he

ah, you watching. devine is africa still to come basketball in berlin from africa. ah, if your ball is really above you. but 1st to the conflicts in ethiopia, there's been a sustained diplomatic push, trying to bring peace to the country's northern region to cry. with the 2 conflict parties, reportedly holding us sponsor talks in neighboring djibouti. now just days ago, the ruling to gray people's liberation, france said it was ready for a ceasefire. and peace talks with the ethiopian government in addis ababa. now there's been more violence. ah, time runs differently here. the ethiopian new year has just begun and it's been cause for celebration for more than 2000 years. but since war returned, there's been little reason for joy, death, long as you can see. now everything is expensively that if there was place, it wouldn't be like that either. and again, no matter, don't people have less income or they can no longer afford this. or therefore the current situation is very difficult. young, i think of peace comes to the country when prices will go down or go to guns

, they built 500 houses in africa town.n 1968, in protest of the city of mobile finally bringing water and sewer service to africa town, the mayor announced they are tearing down all the houses. they kicked all the families out, 500 families and bulldozed the houses. at the time, the patriarch was quoted saying about his african-american tenants, he don't need water, they have been living perfectly fine without it for years. he doesn't need a bathtub, he wouldn't know how to use it. he would probably store food in it. that was quoted in the local newspaper. he felt brave enough in 1968 to say that out loud. so that's the mayor's legacy and mobile in africa town. susan: now that the clotilda has been found, what you think africa town's fate will be. >> i hope this fate is back to its original trajectory. the ship is in very good shape, i have touched it and held the wood in my hands. it can be dug up. the state of alabama keeps talking about not digging the ship up. they keep talking about leaving it in place in the mud and

put on south africa. it's a tug of war that's reminiscent of the old cold war and what would be logical behind the scenes is for us to offer. you can all make incentives and other support for south africa that are i'm opposed to would not otherwise get. washington is a way the changing of the dynamics to the old world order, and one south africa to be at the point race here on the continent. the u. s. is expected to entice, i'm opposed with increased investment and trade. a global public to neutralize the bricks and russian influence on the continent. but power, if exactly what south africa needs right now, that countries scribbling power cars have intensified and will curtail growth in the continent. second largest economy, while the americans and europeans continue to pressure south africa to the green energy sauces. i'm up with any cabinet, have not entirely turned their back a new t elegant, the west, and i was an $8500000000.00 pledge of loans and grants it last year. you and conference and climate c

we are building them in south africa. we would love to have interaction with many countries to install such reactors and not try to follow you repeat models. what a release of this can be poised out of common endeavor, aspiration of fear. but for settlement was as political about the ruling african national congress must go is a friend, a partner, and a com rate that supported the during the liberation movement. in time of colonialism and as power cuts continue to intensify year in south africa, more and more moscow seems like part of the solution. globally fat join is big for oddity international. south african politician take years to harley says the country is president wants to ensure his nation would be victimized by us policy decisions. we're very happy and very proud of the member id which chris, the drama pasa, handled his engagement with her president biden. we are also very happy with the principals that you put on the team. the principals also our concern regarding russia, milan, which is when we impose certain

africa. pres. ramaphosa: true. pres. biden: and you're a leader on climate and health and covid-19. i'd like to talk to you about that, because we want to see you be able to produce covid insulin on the continent, in your country, et cetera. and you you were one of the international leaders that agreed with my effort to try to do away with a patent listing on these drugs. pres. ramaphosa: that's right. pres. biden: so, but we can still get a lot done, i think. [laughter] look, our partnership is essential in addressing many of the world's pressing challenges, from the food security crisis to and south africa is a vital voice on the global stage and a leader in the international order. we have a lot to talk about. there's a lot that's happening around the world not only on the continent of africa, but around the world that you're engaged in as well. so, welcome. i'm looking forward to our conversation. and thanks for taking the time to be here. pres. ramaphosa: well, thank you very much, mr. p

i think it will harm africa through marginalized, according to the message from south africa, president after meeting with joe biden, as washington prepared, his new legislation that could punish african countries for cooperating with if you want gas open north stream to lot of me recruiting calls 1st sanctions on the pipeline to be lifted, saying russia has nothing to do with europe's energy, correct? a, just after 3 pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now we start with some breaking news from dun boss where 4 people have been killed and renewed ukrainian artillery shelling of the city of dunn. yes, that's according to local authorities. a warning may find the following. images disturbing. the city's mayor has said, fragments of french howitzer shells have been found that the site is supported. you're looking at now shows some of the victims and the devastation caused by at least 6 rounds of shelling. in 4 hours a central administrative building was targeted in the attacks in our correspond that the

so we are walking towards a place in africa. we're african nathan saloon, truly reigns, and we want to 100 our own skills. hundreds our own talents, create our own products. we are tired of buying american products because we benefit thing. they don't invest in quantity and they only plow day and night. you have mean a lot of the sources living are continent, day and night and then they bring them big in terms of finished goods. and so them to us at exorbitant prices to them with always been economists, subjects will not work for them. and we also fighting for economy collaboration. so the fight for an africa that is independent is still a fairly long fight and we are very happy, you know, when the law shadley init, inactive the soviet, the national anthem to us. but that was the time of freedom to say that our friends a bag, we no longer have to fight colonialism alone. and we know that you always head us on our side as a people. and we want to reassure the people of russia and the russian federation that we will not be to say.

w. news africa. and now can you tell us more about this smart speculum and how it's different from the traditional approach are going to tell me father. so just to give an idea of the context, right? so this is mark quincy vision to very old. one is called the breast or go or give up one or 2 years old. and you know that the cole, scott, i'm going to sound like a microscope from it. so they don't provide visual either on the screen like a computer screen. so 1st of all, this corpuscle device can 3 highs and it's not really available in developing and placing any chris cargo and workers like what we decided to do to build around and you know, based on bank corporate and be talking to one into one portable devices can you can adapt to the people who are all set and this is an area on be able to easily use animals to provide a form in the area. so basically incorporate just pick a little article post and i believe you've got 2 samples to show us how they compare just given i wonder know mark looks like

and there's not a single business in africa town. so what happened?ll, alabama state and mobile, the city system radically destroyed african town. it is a classic case of environmental racism. you can go around big american all over the country and see areas. industry has been piled on to african american neighborhoods as it has in africa town. the mayor family leased land to the largest paper mill in the world, which is an international paper mill in alabama. in fact it became their world headquarters and they leased land to another gigantic paper mill right next door. the pollution in africa town was so intense up until the mills finally shut down in 2000. if you look at the epa statistics, the toxic, the tree, the toxic release inventory mobile in the nineties ranked as one of the five most polluted counties in america in terms of air and water pollution. but if you take those numbers and break them down, you will find that little zip code for africa town covers six square miles is actually where almost all of that pollution happened. so africa tow

how can africa feed itself an extended drought and the horn of africa has badly hit harvest's? food prices rising and leaving people worried fail stove. you can't expect someone adding a dollar a day to buy mayflower for $2.00. children who are going to school hungry. we can't even feed them. breakfast. wheat remains scarce around the world, but could locally source to crop alternatives, plug the deficit in africa and reduce the reliance on food imports. also coming up following molly's pivot from the west to russia, was b to germany's foreign ministry. on the future of the war, angie had his best to help, which is still forcing civilians from their homes. refugees from burkina faso crossing over into ghana, forcing their hosts to wake up to a security threat. inching ever close up. ah, i'm told me all logic well, welcome to the program. with over 60 percent of the worlds on cultivated arable land, africa should not be importing most of its grain. right. 10 years ago, a wall bank reports said africa farmers can potentially grow enough food to feed the continent and avert future

i think it will harm africa. group merchant, eliza continent to which the south african president is referring to is aimed at quote counseling, malign russian activity in africa. if introduced it with the washington state to control moscow as many relations with the continent from trade to military ties are teeth. cabella tightly takes us through south africa and washington's lucky relationship. the united states and south africa are coming together again. yet the award views could not be any further apart. this is the 2nd high level meeting between the 2 countries. preceded by u. s. secretary of saint anthony lincoln's visit here on the continent. last month . has you as president joe biden found in south african leda settled, i'm a plaza, a man to do his africa, biddy, everyone's are up to by favor. and that africa with 54 countries, massive voting power in the united nations. more, less split were south africa was neutral. a few countries, formerly opposed sanctions and condemnation of russia and the un. some

you mentioned to africa. um, this is something that a lot of people don't know about. african americans knew kind of a military intelligence thing on the african continent. i wanted to ask you though, because what, what's going on is america's a bit late. i think, in getting to this party in africa. you've got russia who's doing an awful lot of business in africa these days, but you've got china who instead of going in there with armed militia, or should we say soldiers for democracy? you got china building infrastructure, roads, hospital schools. and so my question to you is, if indeed africa is the bread basket off the world who is going to be the one who's going to be feeding off at the most and, and taking advantage of it. we got big players there right now. pay absolutely. and the point of view of europe, especially european commission, is absolutely toxic. for instance, the whole fertilize the crisis europeans, basically they are receiving the drain from ukraine, that is coming from a best court. and it

why is sub saharan africa, is the growth region for military and defense sector. africa are currently expanding and bolstering their military and policing capabilities. but the military budgets of african countries have traditionally taken a backseat to developmental concerns. and the impact of coven 19 has eroded their capacity to buy arms or security hardware. even further consistency deposit of the defense force has been cut in south africa. it is at its lowest. that is what our problem is. even if the economy grows loan, if you keep to the promise that we made to ourselves, that would never go beyond 2 percent of the g d p. for the defense, we will be fine. that's all we looking for 2 percent of the g d p. that will enable us to recruit the young people that we need to be could be italian, able less to resuscitate our defense industry. that will enable us to fix all of our private equipment that we need to fix, that it will also enable us to do everything and to play a role in better integration and in the continued the russians. the conglomerate is also among the exhibitors. here
