u. k. also among those, extracting the nationals from the country. any sudanese locals have been left to find that oh, ways of escaping to safety. one of them will lead to mock or has fled to paris and spoke of the calles and horror he witnessed and sit down. told me to stop. my house is not far away from the military days. early in the morning about a, a and i woke up with a, a lot of wood. it's everywhere. there is no water. okay. i taught in a lot of that is only 3. you know, a lot of places. there is no food. there is babies, there is no hospital. i saw a woman give bit of babies. child is born in the ground. i need the plan, will we have to bring all of the d maxene on one cup like into chess 1st. before that i need to dream. know what to do. how could, how could i am very, very far as my printer, my family, my neighbors, my eyes and i saw the look into it, my neighborhood, a child's 6 years old, 6 years old. his father died before 5 years. he's all he's along with his mother. he's in a side, he's home, he's playing with tablet or phone. what is

u. k. policy on some mighty. i think what's also worth noting is that the funding of training and equipment for somebody land from the u. k stopped in 2020 amnesty international say to more than 600 people have been injured in the recent fighting. and so my land security forces are currently to blame. somali land security forces indiscriminately shelled the town damaging hospitals, schools and mosques killing and injuring civilians, and displacing tens of thousands of people among the civilians killed were women. children, older people with health conditions and health care workers. they were mostly killed during indiscriminate attacks involving rockets, mortars and other explosive weapons with wide area effects, which should never be used and populated areas. but apparently the u. k. government does a see any problem with this of the whole approach to the region, which is still the part off. somalia is quite controversial. and although landon doesn't recognize the independence of somali land, it treats the region as if it is a sepa

u. k. also currently has the role of the pen holder on sudan. that's a designation of the country that writes the resolutions will, tends to write resolutions for each particular country, and that's the u. k. has that job. but also remember that a sedan is an african country, and the african union make it clear that should be african solutions to african problems. so gabon, garner and mozambique of the african countries on the security council also taking a keen interest, but it's also the country as part of the middle east as well. and the u. e is the current arab country on the security council, and the u. e has its own interest there with regard to sit on. so lots of vested interests of countries or the security council for now i think, is going to listen to the representative of the secretary general of oak, a purpose, who still in khartoum about what the current situation is and how he sees the situation. and certainly the security council i think, will be lending support to the african union out with the idea that the chairperson was a fox,

u. k. as also sent to key yet the use of depleted uranium has been linked to cancer and activists who took part in the protest. b o russell beliefs many people in the u. k. are aware of what's happening in ukraine. we have organ, i said, emergency protest against 70 depleted uranium sales to ukraine. we've done our best to communicate our protests to white and older as possible, including newspapers like the daily telegraph. busy the daily mail sunday to various other newspapers, the activists who had been protesting for 9 years since the 2014 and you asked for the british government to to end it. so what we regarded, even then as an illegal ration, britain is getting billions in an 8 and create an economic a to train at a time when energy prices have gone sky high, people are struggling. a lot of people are aware of the truth in the price, which is quite amazing when you consider the reporting here. it's totally an awfully one. so i did they recycle the stories from american intelligence tradition

u. s. k also, withdrawal from the country, at least 183 people were killed, including 13 members of the u. s. military that day. more than a 100, others were wounded, islamic state claim responsibility for their time. in retaliation, the u. s. launched a drone strike, but struck a vehicle carrying african aid workers, including 10 civilians, including 7 children, flowers before they attack us. diplomats in couple warren american citizens to stay away from the euro for you to what they called security threats. the revelation that the pentagon knew the identity of the bummer, it came to lights during a fiery session of congress as high suicide committee, which is investigating the u. s. federal. we're identified, the bomb or our internal guys did their work. the biden administration would not authorized the shooting, nor the a rush of the bomber that kill these dark j americans and ordered 70 of our afghan lodge wounded a maimed many, many others y y y. well the hearings on. busy capitol hill brough

u. k and u. k. citizens going into the u for work in the created ours are briefly in just touch on this, but is this also something we're seeing with british bands going into the are they also having problems with us briefly if you could really briefly. yes, they are because they don't totally understand the rules on $9180.80 s comes in and at the end of this year is going to make things even tighter because it's going to be automated. all right, music engine. ian smith talking about bands from the u. k. and europe trying to tour. thank you very much. pleasure which it makers in eastern germany are reacting to soaring demand for semiconductors by expanding their production facilities and what some are calling silicon saxony. now with the u. s. south korea, taiwan, japan and china all competing for leadership and the global high tech semiconductor supply chain. the german region is still confident it to can carve out a share that market microchips are going to play a key role in tony since future. many of the tips are being developed at the u. s. company global foundries. it's been producing high tech mic

but also remember in terms of, you know, just that, that useful perspective, the united states. often you have to remember that the government of the u. k. and also to an extent, the government dividing to never be true, the neutral. and now the situations and when you come in to look at not an art. and so it's very interesting thing that the united states is capable of doing. it's not to say that there are problems within american politics and society, but they are very good at kind of coming in. and it was interesting, interesting. even tonight, the final thing i say on this is that me, martin, the minister of foreign affairs mentioned the work of the international fund for ireland for instance, which comes a lot of money into sort of border communities and piecewise on on the ground. and again, that's a sign that has been going since the mid 18 agreement and 985. so that tells you again, just how much america does put into, nor than i don't know. if we know that breaks it has put a huge strain on, on the peace process. what role has the united states played in making sure that breaks did not reverse the gains that have already been m

u. k. had also returned some items. however, the british museum has the largest collection of benign bronzes, but i still not yet announced whether it will return any of them arguing is prevented from doing so. by acts of parliament in france, 2 years after the st. warsaw report on restitution was published and french president emmanuel, michael, made his promise of restitution. an important symbolic event took place. the family of the 19th century, west african leader and islamic allege on my side to time had been lobbying for the official return of his sabre, for over 20 years. tile founded the took owner in pyar in today's synagogue, guinea mauritania, and molly, but also fought the french. his son lost a favor in his defeat to the french army in 1893. although it had been on loan to the museum of black civilizations in the car, his family wanted full restitution, and the salvazar report made it a priority. in 2019 all my task saber was restored to the family in a poignance handover ceremony by the french prime minis

u. k is also seems to be on board list . so that thou the, the skeptics when we were always thinking about france and germany, they don't seem to have much of a seen all of this. and particularly when you have the german foreign minister, alina babble, who's also on board with this, and, and the increasing belligerents coming from germany. not so much from sergeant shoals, but, but from the rest of it, i mean, been now had, yet again another diplomatic, a spot with, with russia, with 20 diplomats on either side being expelled. so this is an ongoing thing. and so really the skeptics are really just pushed out from all of this. and i think there's also a, you know, a lot of troubling things that are going on on, on your peripheral inferences in a week. this the story that appeared and we discussed it on the gaggle in the washington post, that very long article suggesting that any ah peace movement in germany must be essentially banned. because this is entirely engineered by the kremlin. and then we have in the united states, s

u. k, but also in brussels, which is a 3 way. and some ways to do would have central transfer me money is illegal, but the logic, the kind of logic which is totally absurd, i would say, is saying that let us invent something else beyond the cobra international law, which will allow us to do this and transfer well, of course, many, many businessmen to us, they are looking at banks all over the world and they understand that any country can be in in this police and which the end the school and reminds the credibility of bank credibility of western financial system. where the dollar is dominated, totally, and by these excellent, that all is speeding up of the transition of international trade from dollar to the national currencies. it really does look like an incredibly risky move by west or officials. can i touch upon something else? you said earlier as well, europe in countries criticize african nations for expelling western journalists, who engage in anti state activities. but as you laid out earlier, at the same time center russ

u. k is also seems to be on board list. so thou the, the skeptics when we were always thinking about france and germany, they don't seem to have much of a seen all of this. and particularly when you have the german foreign minister, alina babble, who's also on board with this, and, and the increasing belligerents coming from germany. not so much from sergeant shoals, but, but from the rest of it, i'm in, been now had yet again, another diplomatic, the spot with, with russia, with 20 diplomats on either side b. expel. so this is an ongoing thing. and so really the skeptics are really just pushed out from all of this. and i think there's also a, you know, a lot of troubling things that are going on. and you know, they are peripheral for instance. i mean, we, this, the story that appeared and we discussed it on the gaggle in the washington post. a very long article suggesting that any ah, peace movement in germany must be essentially banned because this is. c entirely engineered by the kremlin, and then we have in the united s

u. k. has also sent to the use of depleted uranium has been linked to cancer. for more on this, let's cross live now to activists fear russell, who joined us from the protest in london. we appreciate your time today. now you are one of those protesting. so tell us, what is the current sentiment among the people there right now? okay, so we have a number back to this here who joined us because we, we've organized an emergency protest against sending depleted uranium sales to ukraine on speaking from right behind me. you can see down in the residence foreign minister. so the news that britain was sending the sales for the challenge of time was revealed by website post declassified. you pay on the 21st of march, and we decided to hold a merchant protest falling on the british government not to send these shells. if they 40 be said to order that you've been bustle. now do you think that the government is aware of the opposition over the use of depleted uranium and when it comes to your calls for the situation to be reversed, you have hope that will be the case? wel

and for the rest, there should be red light lanes, and this should also ease at the trade between the u. k and northern ireland. and then there has also been an u idea of introducing something called a storm and break, which would allow northern island to block or under certain conditions, the application of new european union law. there has been a world in the u. k. government over this, the d u p. did or not wrote in favor for this. very briefly, please will this ensure peace in northern ireland. it's still early days, so what is important now is that the d u p comes back to the table and come spec to governing in northern ireland. there has been riches soon. arc has been saying air just just now that there's a lot of burke to be done. and also the irish prime minister has been calling and on both on the d. u. p to come back and also said that he is confident that this will be resolved in the coming months. august, 1 of the children in brussels. thank you. ah, spain's john rom kept his nerve to win golf's 1st major of the year. the master said o guster, he began the day 4 shots behind or

u. k. are also among those, extracting their nationals from the country. many sudanese locals have been left to find their own ways of escaping to safety. one of them will need to mark or has like the power of the chaos and horror he witnessed and sit down, but told me to stop today. my house is not far away from the military base. i'm late or early in the morning. about 8 am. i woke up with a good day a was, it's everywhere that is normal. ok. i thought, you know, look, that is normally 3. you know a lot of places. there is no food. there is babies. there is no more because i saw women give births babies, child is born in the, in the ground. i need the plan will we have to drink all over the maximum. one cup like into chess is 44. it's very hot. i need to drink in order to do how could i am very worthy for my printer, my family, my neighbors, my eyes. and i saw the look into it, my neighborhood, a child's 6 years old, 6 years old. his father died before 5 years. he's all he's along with his mother. he's in a society home. he's playing. or for me. what is

u. k. have also presided over the security council while waging war on iraq . for example, the makeup of the council was put together in the aftermath of world war 2, with vito's for all 5 permanent members. but does it fit for today's world? we'll be discussing this and more in a few moments with i guess. the 1st offended monahan reports on the debate over russia's presidency of the security council. the present for the next month. russia will chair the un security council. the council's presidency rotates every month. and that gives the holder some influence in shaping this agenda through. but some members are objecting to russia, sharing a body dedicated to pieces security as it wages war and ukraine. shorter, he's gotten bullshit. yesterday the russian army killed another ukrainian child, a 5 month old boy. the parents are wounded, one of the hundreds of artillery attacks that the terrorist states carries out every day. and at the same time, the russia presides over the un security council. it is difficult to imagine anything that crimes the complete bankru
