president cyril ramaphosa — who is leading the main ceremony in pretoria — has said freedom day willdurban. south africa is preparing for elections next month, while experiencing failing infrastructure and high levels of crime and unemployment. for more on this i spoke to our correspondentjenny hill, who is in johannesburg. this is a moment when south africans think back, they commemorate the heroes of the struggle against apartheid. many of them recall too the joy and the hope which accompanied the election of nelson mandela and his african national congress party. the anc has been in power ever since. a lot has changed in this country since then, the current president, cyril ramaphosa, laid the commemorations today in pretoria. he said 30 years ago, the pale of freedom rang across our great country. he also went on to say the weight of centuries of operation was cast off on that day. this is a big moment for south africa, an entire generation has grown up and post apartheid. cyril ramaphosa knows there are a lot of challenges facing his country, he acknowledged as much in his very

cyril, by the way, declared a holy war, well , there is a cause-and-effect relationship for this, thisoses tried to explain to the jews when they were in the desert, you decide, you agreed to go, what did you want to see here, and they told him, by the way, ukrainians can do that, so we were going to go there for 10 days, the roads are there, 10 days, well, excuse me, two or three weeks, two or three weeks, two or three weeks, well, oh, and it turned out that we have been going for 40 years, why, because no, because this... ours was a hotel in 10 days there to get there, but there is definitely a problem, it’s a different route, you have to cross the sea, it’s to the side, everyone who knows the geography of the near east knows that there... there’s nowhere to go at all, we can reach it on foot even now from egypt to israel, well, but if you go around, it’s a long time, well, that’s the story, that’s how we go to our freedom, yeah, and it’s necessary to understand such a geopolitical challenge , you can not read the history of the country, you can read the bible, everything is written

cyril ramaphosa knows there are a lot of challenges facing his country, he acknowledged as much in hisers are frankly fed up with failing infrastructure, electricity, power outages, water supply is often interrupted too. there are huge problems with unemployment, the youth unemployment rate is more than 60%. record levels of violent crime are also affecting people and making them very angry. most opinion polls reveal as though that will certainly be reflected on election day. as it appears some voters are turning away from the anc with some predictions suggesting that it could lose its majority for the very first time. thanks to jenny for that. i thanks tojenny for that. i will be back with the headlines in just a couple of minutes�*s time. this is lewies vaughanjones, this is bbc news. we started off grey and wet in southern england. a lot of cloud across wales, the midlands, for much of the day. further north it was a different story. sunny spells and scattered showers but escape those showers, a beautiful afternoon in fife, as you can see. we have more heavy rain though arriving thr

work out, everything is complicated there, explains french aviation expert, a former pilot himself, cyrilwere only enough ukrainian pilots to move from base to base in europe, what kind of maneuvers and missile launches were there? france teaches ukrainian. where they are studying now, so that it doesn’t turn out that they send fighters, and there will be no one to fly them, kiev will probably buy air mercenaries. there are two private companies, american and canadian, that actually have pilots for the f-16. in the worst case, as the frenchman says, a contract will be concluded with them to operate such aircraft in ukraine, in the worst case for them, because everyone will be shot down anyway, but let's see. what kind of companies are these? canadian top asus in the fleet, which, including b16 with ex-military pilots, offers contract services to the armed forces of his country, as well as the german bundeswehr of the us air force, and also writes about australia. pilots perform different tasks, for example, during exercises, when mercenaries imitate an enemy squadron. such a service in an

. >> it was a huge milestone in post-apartheid south africa is no doubt what president cyril ramaphosa is talking about right now. live pictures from pretoria well, with evidence that inequality still exists and crime and corruption is running ramping the ones hopeful promise of democracy, maybe losing its appeal ahead of next month's critical elections. now those elections pose a serious threat to mondelez party, the african national congress our david mckenzie is live in johannesburg, so david politicians like cyril ramaphosa, the present there that we're seeing live now talking about this using this anniversary is an occasion to mark how far the country's come. but given the country's current troubles, it's not lost on the many voters. how far? are there still is to go i think you're right, kim, but today is certainly a day of celebration and reflection. >> so run a posset just a short time ago saying that, thanks need to be given to all those people who've made a sacrifice to get this country over the line of a democratic transition, which certainly wasn't assured 30 years ago, the

for such a long time, they even allegedly criticize cathedral, there was the following message from cyril that all priests in all churches during prayer should pray for russia's victory over ukraine, literally yesterday there was this information, it was the first time it was written so vividly. for some reasons, the draft law that they submitted deleted any mention of the russian church at all, despite the fact that this law came to us as a government draft law, we did not want to consider it, the government draft went to the committee on humanitarian information policy, and we have a lot of important definitions from mine and my colleagues' law, which was signed by the representatives of all factions, was implemented before the second reading into this law, there is even a definition of the russian measure there, and if it is possible to adopt it, because the committee voted for it unanimously, it was supported by the representatives of all. fractions that are represented in the committee, and servant of the people, and european solidarity, we have a homeland there, and for the future t

the issues that you asked me about the south african president, cyril ramaphosa, coming to congratulate the truth of the matter is that we have been able to start the history of our own mass democratic struggle since 1999, and we have noticed and identified the role which the anc and also consecutive anc governments in south africa have played to undermine the mass democratic struggle in our country. don't forget that these are the same people who forced the global political agreement on the people of zimbabwe when robert mugabe and zanu—pf were defeated in an election. so, to be clear, are you saying... the anc�*s goal is always to undermine the people of zimbabwe. i need to be very clear with you because we're almost out of time. are you saying that, even now, you believe the anc government is undermining you and the zimbabwean opposition? fikile mbalula, the secretary general of the anc, he has been spewing a lot of controversial statements against our people and also against the opposition forces in our country. so there is no doubt that it is the anc policy for them to undermine th

"as the first anniversary of the coronation approaches, their majesties remain deeply grateful for the many kindnesses and good wishes they have received from around the world, throughout the joys and challenges of the past year". the king's last public event was in windsor on easter sunday and he surprised the crowds by stopping to

during this war, with the ukrainians, or are they with the russians, even in spite of this anti-cyrillictoric, which onufry is now leading, well... this rhetoric is not enough to to convince ukrainians that this church defends the interests of ukrainians and opposes russia's war with ukraine. another very important issue is the telegram in ukraine, and in we had yaroslav yurchyshyn, the head of the specialized parliamentary committee on issues of self-talk, on the air, we talked with him, we started this conversation about whether blocking is possible in ukraine. since the russians are connected to this media platform, and where there are russians, there must be the fsb. what does yurchyshyn say? he says that the ukrainian authorities are currently studying the experience of introducing sanctions against social networks in the united states and spain to block telegram. yur chishin says: there must be a clear rationale for the nsdc's decision on sanctions, for example, and for this there must be some serious critical situation with a leak of information. we would really hate for that to h

at the beginning of the 19th century. but we don’t have 100% printing of fonts, at least with the cyrillic of the 19th century, but because the bolsheviks, after the spelling reform , destroyed most of the fonts, well, then there’s the printing method, because if we consider the beginning of the 19th century, then printing was done on machines similar to butenberg’s machine, although it could also be digital a copy, but only a specialist can do this. recognizes, they sold stolen goods in auction houses in moscow and st. petersburg, we understand that library stamps usually, this is the seventeenth page, can be washed off, sometimes, uh, the stamps are removed, the sheets are replaced, and figure it out, this is still a circulation item, ah , to figure out whether this copy is genuine or whether some pages were replaced and the seals were erased, where it was taken from, were someone’s seals erased, or was it liquidated? some red youth club in the city of kalinin, or the warsaw library. books have always been stolen, and much more often than painting, because a painting is in one copy, book

russia, which in the fall of 2000, meaning the prayer of 2022, was invented by the main russian bishop cyrilhe text of this so-called prayer. russian priests call on people to fight for the glory of god for united russia, killing enemies, and immediately pray for the salvation of the souls of those who have already died. you have understood which enemies they are going to fight and which enemies to kill, authorizes the russian pip kirilo. well, that's all i have in the world about ukraine column, that's all for today, the world about ukraine column is just breaking into this information week, there will be more tomorrow, and there will be more in our tomorrow. on the air, so in the future air, so do not switch. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is a shipping district. kherson is included live, we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut, we tell the main thing, on weekdays at 9:00. verdict with serhiy rudenko, from now on in a new two-hour format, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests, foreign e

work out, everything is complicated there,” explains french aviation expert, a former pilot himself, cyrilur. there were only enough ukrainian pilots to move from base to base in europe. what kind of missile launching maneuvers are there? france trains ukrainians at the cazier airbase, first on old turboprop aircraft, then they are transplanted with decommissioned alpha jets, only then, perhaps, they are sent for training directly to... so that it does not turn out that fighters are sent, but there will be no one to fly them , kiev, perhaps will purchase air mercenaries. there are two private companies, american and canadian, that actually have pilots for the f-16. in the worst case, as the frenchman says, a contract will be concluded with them to operate such aircraft in ukraine, in the worst case for them, because everyone will be shot down anyway. but let's see what kind of companies these are. canadian. asus in the fleet, which includes f-16s with former military pilots, offers contract services to the armed forces of its country, as well as the german bundeswehr of the us air force, a

highly respected theologian, believes that it was ivan paul ii who said that he actually considers cyril a blasphemer, not a christian, so in general, this is the story, gentlemen, what else did i want to tell you about the fact that as we know, it was approved by the verkhovna rada. the long-awaited, as he said today, in quotation marks, yes, our interlocutor, rudion kudryshov, a major from the third brigade, the long-awaited law on mobilization, more than 300 deputies were in the hall, there was, by the way, rustem umyerov, there was oleksandr syrsky, the commander, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, brigade commanders, and what about the rest, in the end, they voted, which is now signed by president zelenskyi. our colleagues analyzed this document, which is already in the status of almost a law, let's see what this bill is about? two versions of the draft law, more than three months of work, more than 400 amendments and, as a result, 283 votes in favor. the verkhovna rada finally adopted a new law on mobilization, its strengthening is a necessary condition for ukra

at the 30th anniversary celebrations in pretoria current president cyril ramaphosa paid tribute to those a great heaviness lifted from our shoulders. our shackles have been cast off. the shackles that have tied us down for hundreds of years. the weight of centuries of oppression was no longer holding us down. even though our backs bore scars of the cruel lashes of those who had whipped and subjected us for more than 300 years, on that day, as a united people, we stood tall as south africans. mr ramaphosa is up for re—election in may. his party, the african national congress, or anc, has been in power continuously since 1994. while it remains far ahead in opinion polls, it potentially faces the prospect of losing its parliamentary majority for the first time. and mr ramaphosa faces a novel threat — his predecessor, jacob zuma, left the anc in december to form his own party that is challenging the anc. let's turn to some important news around the world. iraq's parliament passed a law criminalising same—sex relationships with a maximum 15—year prison sentence on saturday. the move is said t

term very vague so that people can fill it with whatever they want, so it becomes difficult to oppose cyril, to oppose putin, no matter how egregious what they are doing, because you are locked into such polar binary a conflict in which you cannot fail. your side, and if you say anything against them, you're accused of having all these other views that you may not have. russia leads the world lists of countries with the highest abortion rate, the highest divorce rate, the highest incarceration rate, well maybe not after they started using convicts in the war against ukraine, but in all these things. it is far from idealistic conservative values. what makes russia so attractive to people in in the united states, we see many converts to the russian version of christianity, russian orthodox christianity. i think that in absolute numbers it is not so much. i would separate people with very conservative views from people with really dangerous far-right views who are attracted to the orthodox religion. something that is outside most of the history of christianity and christendom. they imagine ort

the south african president cyril ramaphosa will be leading the celebrations at the union buildings inng you those pictures and that speech by the president later on in the programme. of course, this is another election of course, this is another election yearfor of course, this is another election year for south africa as it goes to the polls later next month. there've been developments in ceasefire negotiations between israel and hamas — with both sides continuing to review proposals. egyptian mediators have arrived in israel and local media are reporting there's been "notable progress" in finding common ground. in gaza itself, the hamas—run health agency says at least 50 people have been killed in israeli attacks over the past 2a hours. this was the scene in rafah on friday night. 0ur diplomatic correspondentjames landale is following the developments from jerusalem. well, this week, catherine, the american defence department gave a long briefing to media in america about how this new maritime aid corridor would work but there was a big hole in the plans and that is because the unit

from the mention of cyril in divine services, well, i think that he could do it, as many hierarchs of the same ukrainian orthodox church, which at that time did not yet hide its connection with the moscow patriarchate, did in the end at the beginning of the war. i understand the essence of your question and the desire behind it so to speak, but i would still advise, i am always in such a position, you know, to look at the glass as half full, and not as half empty. what do i mean you know, the address of nufry himself, let them remain, or the way of commemoration remains his responsibility, as a church hierarch who , after all, heads a certain religious structure that has believers among ukrainians and in the ukrainian state, but i would say that the reaction of the department of external church connections of the same church in ukraine. so was quite sharp, if i wasn't saw, so to speak, the text and did not know when it appeared, i would very much doubt, as a scientist, whether it is authentic, that is , in this statement, which was made almost immediately after this all-russian people

will come to what you are talking about, just if, well, actually, who speaks in the name of god, when cyrills her that this is a holy war, and ukrainians must be killed, you know, i don’t know, i would after that, whatever it is the transfiguration cathedral was not beautiful, somehow i didn’t go there then, it’s better to turn to god in such a way then in a clean field, i completely agree with you, but... i hope that some odessans are still watching us somewhere there, maybe someone somewhere he was at a crossroads, something clicked in him somewhere, uh, god forbid, god forbid, let's hope for it, uh, besides all that, uh, odeschina was recognized as being in the trinity, but that the three is not so fun for odeshchyna, according to the largest number of corrupt people in 2023, mr. serhiy, or on odeshchina? they talk about it and how did it happen that they got into such a top three? well, you know, i always try to answer exactly according to the odessa principle, and maybe we just talk about it more than other regions and do not hide anything, of course such a rating is very doubtful, it

distance itself from the russian orthodox church, it is onufriy after all. and continues to remember cyril among the patriarchs, orthodox patriarchs, and in this way makes it clear that, in principle, everything remains in those places, only they declared declaratively that they are not part of the russian orthodox church. well, i think that many people understand, at least in our committee, which is headed by the representative of the servant of the people party, mykyta potoraev, and yevgenia kravchuk, who was your deputy, the other representatives of this faction today unanimously voted for... the draft in the second reading together with representatives of other factions, well, ours european solidarity, and for the future and the homeland, i know that the trust will vote for it, just not all the servants understand it, there is a rather large such pro-russian church group in the servants, which defends the interests of this church, and there is a plus point of these groups of the former opzzh, who will also speak out against it, and most other politicians in the verkhovna rada understan
