Hi, and could you take us through what we know so far in a dramatic bolster this morning and looking forward to he missed one more, but found guilty of farmer fondness of amazon prime. But taking a watch upon the former and of course our phone numbers are familiar is that it is ive never, ever had before. The gifts from the ive had signatures delegations from the other countries. So inbound time was found guilty and be just in most so years is there isnt rent or the amount of time and disqualified him for 5 years after that the police in the novel depends on police and its not all about police already prepared. They had on the merits and they rushed through the month times of residence in so mine part and immediately add us to this or that am, i cant do that business to the police and slander. We have seen a lot of people and defense. It is across the country. Some of the supporters paramount on the streets. I think his mom is up for 10 miles deposit the morning. Be followed by then. By the time we are expecting some progressive in the mean time i do look on local reporter. Thank you for that. Now for more details, lets trust live to local journalists, pastoral r class, ross, customer are what you make of these charges and this ruling against iran con let me tell you that. Uh, it was an open and tough guessing non cons that have been writing a paper before the court and they said they are connected as well. But i think the court has a very short and very good. So you know, these have been because theyve gone on douglas peers, the papers on the card when i, when he was the, you know, clock to appear before the court. But also, not only that, he says a bid before the court, but also yeah, it goes into the court order, he mislead the court and the people, if i could find a lot of things, uh uh, what, what do we have been in touch with the top died of his Political Party, they leave that and gone con. Uh, you know, the cost of the denied to give, you know, the tool perspective off to get he received from the middle east and other countries. And he did not, you know, design that to report that. So i think it, given that the load, 14 nissan bug has that, you know, deliver and ready to go get into that. But definitely invited con has that right. And they called on to my information, is lisles up to put it in a position to file into effect, or that im seeing it. He may be a big guys to relieve some of the effects cortez that was like the best. It was a shocking organization by the court and shocking to see him by the court because then you know, shopping, visit golf back and found that he can stop. And also they got a manual 5. Besides that, he got some stuff out strongly. He was not expecting this as well. This pace has gone back and forth with aaron con before saying that outside intervention is a part of this attempt to take him down. Elections are scheduled in pakistan in one month. What do you make of the timing of this rule . Exactly, exactly. You know, just to ahead dog for the next general election. A disqualification of one of the men a position later. And i dont forget that being bumped on is one of the, one of the most popular new to, despite the fact that hes never been here before, the code a he network to the support a, see that the bugs, despite all of our d, as in the most popular that i think the one thing is like it was the i dont see any independent from outside the pockets on because the it was a open and chuck it, but definitely it has the percussion of that i, i am not to the community is going to look at some of the for him dot com is gets all it all for these these electronic. Busy the of, of keeping it, one of the most talk to the bottom is the most popular later also when it comes to nat geo. What does this severe, its less than 7 percent of both the integrity of parts. Uh, that is actually the fact that and, and as the hard that the ford has given these yes, sometimes it means they will not be able to come back to the next election because theyre based on the con us. But it means that not only that, the pockets on these whats not the results of these are next involved. So i dont, that was one of the assessment. They go to an automatic and would, uh, you know, uh, accept visa, visa accept the as the visa i liked them to because of keeping it man up was the time of the to all dollars for the election. And you know, it has to be percussion as well as you mention your mind contents very popular, theres been an assassination attempt against his life. There was also another arrest where people were protesting for days. Do you expect that to continue . And how do you expect that to impact the country as a whole, politically . But one thing to put your in bond gun has been a popular leader in buckets on and didnt he and does the majority. It does popular for from the majority of progress on it, there is no doubt about that. But did it go to your customer and i dont see a need for a test or the, the people are as follows. Taken to the faith a go to because there had been massive tract on, on his political part, the leadership and the political work. The because that it all on 9th of may of what happened in pockets on that was actually the will not expect. And that was the data, but its an audio and followed by that up correct on was on least on his Political Party and also thought the dont forget that top dyad is off, but i can find that he can solve have been got the id number all but die hard to get all the lead to the end of what goes off for a man. And what does the park and find that it can fall, have positive id within bonds on that is accurately the fact. But it has the percussion on the integrity of the bike and finally poses a bunch of what else is going to your question. I dont see the people coming out all for their home. The 1st as say is uh, you know, as theyre like, uh, we have seen in the falls that the maximum number of people some to see and go to pronounce his a at a. But this time because of my thoughts, anything beyond kind of had actually the best, the method if i um, suggested no, need to come out all the rooms, no need to dig the road 6 or the goals are safe because im done kind of gratified that this them the with the 5 into the code i did, i think this is perhaps effects of the majority of the pocket funding did not come all its all for the home to for says to his, you know, i have to day as well, and im in my name but human even, even in the 7 i, i dont see any type of hooked up on an inside while pull you know, together and by his for it because luck of because a month for a few months i can see the mess. The guys dont work on lease on the poppies. What goes into pockets, they just give us a, given that scenario, i dont see the people on the board cuz theyll focus on that. He gets upcoming, going to close out of the at home to profess inbound comes out as of this because don khan is really ready very, very clearly as indicators that he is going to fly. This gets into the car, not on the seat and throw those left. A striking development there. Uh, cost of our costs are. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Thank to be i go watch, defense. Chaves have drawn up a plan for military intervention and these year, but have made it clear they will not disclose any details. The west african block has given the countries to impose government until sunday to reinstate the president or face an invasion nearby gate. We pointed to allow the use of the disruption, all the ridges move full of democratic consolidation in the region. It was a smoke, going to tell the poop loved it when on the way where we are going to strike. Thats. Its awfully slow. This is alex, thats will be taken by the hassle state where you to be like the home on this and t fault this operation. The reason why the rate to be a cause she met you repeated is urging whole piece to add cost. By the simplicity, mohammad, as soon as you change the democracy, saying that if the dialogue states you call us well take the last strike, i can see if these the dyna also failed to be best. They will not tell the mantles stage to close the chaise when and when they will strike the decision would be made just by the case of states and very dangerous statements. Im not telling you i have manual. Ive loved people all talking to long while the tongues to succeed, who was with lots of said that the shape of intervention would be completely different and dangerous. I mean, comparing to the license of the guy which has a relatively weak army and the chaise of both countries as a possible one of his countries about the very experienced in the wall to the side of museum. The large number tuesday in the shit, and the only makes it a bit difficult, of course. And they said that when you compare it to vision like this, you do so with all these options in mind, to mobilize into the equipment that the issue of money and picking up also waiting to join statements of both country, the one that a military. And so basically gave me, she is listed as a total different races all gave this dandy to all those came into college and both of them happy suspended from the close Decision Making of this well, the vision is very long. I see the could be very dangerous in turn into a war at this point, the options made on the table as to the line is that you have 3 as deadlines coming in the deadline that was given by the hallway performing which ill sit present as 12629, e c t. Addition to the pcm probably, and its neighboring countries, a particularly a 9 to have students in here tech to the straits, marching and waving National Floods in protest against echo was sanctions and for an intervention colleagues on citizens to protect their state. Local state. The block is no longer a friend to their country. It updated like the media and the people of a major to understand what that cost is doing is nothing more than cents. I mean, they shouldnt. We dont believe that means they are armed interventions. You know, we have to keep our nigerian spirits alive and then the us we can get us out of these intimidation method. Do so to that and to me, does you so, so threads on that 163 years of age, nothing. We are already booked on the degree of less than every kind it and yet we have told that you share is the origin, but then show what was, what was the point of for an aide. Wed be resilient behind our defense and security forces. The cameras, our independence when you independence. This earlier, we discuss the recent developments in the region and the possible effects of the apple watch intervention with a panel of gas the terms by their costs. And they, many of these do not the task. It is based on gun does indeed, i think our mazda is all of its own positives. Of course, we will know that there has been an attempt to entice you. Do not return my office by for arms or countries such as for august and the odd thats impacted even. Or as far as trying to have media started and identity. And it is important that obsolete talk object came as they did not in the task. And i didnt, you know, mean, but the deluxe shouldnt be able to impact been finished or not, as you can see. Um it is to give them to the negotiating to me because of those. If you have given someone 7 days and what youre trying to do is say, okay, okay, um, a net still, i mean, you know, lets go back to start from scratch. But yeah, its called of. And so its for i plus right now its, i think its a game or uh, i used to live now, right. You know, when i surprised guy somebodys pride that whos and which of course im unfortunate. Whats wrong with their course . Because i dont see united therefore, as i didnt want you to be able to be just or for them to intervene. There is no reason thus far. A qu, data within the country is quite a violent, changing the dates of his government. Perhaps the government, however, depends on the people that governs and to, to dates the proposition. And many other parts of government, Civil Service seem to support this change. They support this change primarily because the previous government is seen as a tool of western domination. The government is wireless or the comes from the north for may cause no from france, no from blessings from the us or the u. N. And so it is an odd justified words would be justified war the escalation between new here and echo last has taken a toll on local companies as the block in post sanctions on the country, including border closures and suspension of all financial and commercial ties. This year in Business Owners have called out the blocks, restrictions, especially the closure of the border with the need. One of the blocks member states, they say disruption of trade only worst since the crisis in the land lock states. So until the end of your closing the borders is not a solution because we face a lot of difficulties. You know, normally it takes us 2 or 3 days or a week to collect parts us from been a good key the but now with the closure of the borders, it take us more than a month to collect our parcels due to as you, to the frontier everything comes from outside, thats the difficulty we have the closing borders for our landlord country is not a good thing, but were trying to adapt to like molly, were not going to die. I believe that our country exists and will continue to exist. Whatever the decision taken by echo was, what i have to say to echo was that it must be for the people not against them up. So its a system that we denounce the developments and these here could shake up the balance of power on the continent and beyond. And as french influence waves in africa, its unclear how the 2 could develop with negotiations or an armed conflict, both on the table to get all the latest on the events and me here and in the wider region. Check out our website, our cheap dot com. Now to crime. Yeah, were a Ukranian Naval drone, reportedly attacked a Russian Oil Tanker overnight. Officials reported no casualties as the vessel remained to float with a crew of 11 pumping water from the ship following the damage. Emergency services had been sent to the scene. The head of Ukrainian Security forces indirectly took responsibility for the attacks or any bank that it goes from the russian ships or the crime in breech is an absolute, logical, and effective step with regards to the enemy.

The footage you see shows a russian patrol ship, as well as one of the flaming drones after the resulting explosion. Ukrainian troops of also shell done yet again with officials reporting 13 western supplied shelves used in the attack. And as some cities continued a phase relentless shelling, others had started to recover from the attacks r t. Steve, sweetie wasnt variable and reports on the cities rise from the ashes. Matter you posed a city destroyed, often more than a few days of fighting that will faces a new bottle for its future. The cities for my bed has teamed up with a rich ukrainian businessman to spearhead whenever you for revolt. A multi 1000000. 00 project using you are paying cash and us aid to effectively eradicate the russian culture and identity. As like trying to achieve what they fail to do in months of fighting the local sites, the plan to diversify my view, polls would fail. We are in the russian speaking population. We have always consider ourselves russians. We are in favor of restoring our city with russian culture. This is a history visa, our parents, grandfathers great grandfathers. This is our past and without deposits, there is no present. And there will be no future laws of what some of what the most the most up to this is important because this is, i will culture these we roots these out which additions, this is a lot for russian culture. Therefore, it must be preserved to respect as russian culture will survive, develop and grow. The coming back says matter, you will be rebuilt in 3 years and fishes targets, but he has every confidence it will be met. I think that within 3 years we will completely finish the restriction thats more doable to jump on the lease. Yeah, well have to move mountains, locals that play the major role in shaping the new might be useful. Having a stake in what is the city pulled into some bosco in st. Petersburg, i will say drawing the regeneration efforts. This university is one of the biggest redevelopment projects that was here. That local was hate from ukrainian shedding, writing messages of desperation. As they took shelter in the basement, is this the university musing will be here in this building. I think this part of the building was completely destroyed by grab me, so its very soon there will be windows, floors or roof. Everything will be restored. Ukrainian snipers use coffins of positions from which to shoot russian soldiers dead bodies have been found during the week generation. What openings tools next september for the new Academic Year and become a bustling central of life learning and hope. Once again, the story of mary you for is it contested . One . No more so that the old style sale pulse. According to the west, it was the last refuge of hay roads, where the defenders of mary paul made that last time. But from locals, theres a very different story for them. This is wes, all right, policies on forwarding most of these head like cowards. Using the local population as human shields. We spoke to a number of them who angry over the recent decision by turkey to release the as i come onto the very people that have terrorized the local community for the past 9 years, theres literally endorsement of each. Each person must be responsible for their actions responsible for what they have done here. I saw with my own eyes how the be people here. How to use people. Also budgeting. Yeah. From on you know, was over at the release of those of come on. This was the wrong decision. These people have driven by aggression in hatred towards all of whom, and they say, should be punished according to zillow across the City Apartments of being able to reconstruct a new hospital with the medical facilities will. So you can open the 1st steal shipments recently left the port for real stuff on dont what african nations expressed a wish to buy cove and dont boss. During the recent russia, african summit and green shipments, of course i left the polt. Life is slowly returning to matter. You poll, but just like his post is future is also contested. It is inexplicably linked to the ukraine conflict. Im wanting to false is what it can become. A leading world set into central to russia is developing relations with african nations and indeed the world along with the economic redevelopment of a region rubbish bible. This is Steve Sweeney in value po for all t. We now go live to a 100 webber, norwegian writer, political analyst, and former politician who just visited on bass himself and joins me here in the studio. A very nice to have you here. Thank you. So let me just ask you right off the about what was your experience in going there . And what did you see for yourself . The kind of stood out or the situation in each of these places a, in the boxes, of course, completely different. Different uh, mario pool is sell a little bit uh far from the front line. So with the situation there is completely different as in a for example, done yes, cuz really close to the front line. But the most important was for us, for us to do the job. Our media is not doing as showing what is really going on there. And that was the main part of this trip. And just like many european states, norway has actually taken the side of the west and ignored whats actually happening there. What can you say about the reaction of the International Community and particular norway and compared to what you saw . You know, is your media at all lying there not telling the truth. Theyre only telling one side of the story and that since almost 10 years, and they never show the other side. And thats why were there to show the other side because we cannot imagine that only one side is guilty. And so im saying, so if the media at least have try a to given and balanced view, maybe i would not be here. But to, since since the, especially in the would you media a very one sided . Thats why its so important to have a look at yourself and, and see whats the situation on the ground. Well, what in particular, do you think that is being hit in from the western republic . What, what have you seen that doesnt get out . They telling a media is telling that there is travelling, but doorways with a twist that somebody who is not really into this topic could think it was a rush and shelly, but it was real, creating and shelling. We have seen it with a are our own eyes. And so there is always a twist. Its not the direct lie about. Its not the truth either. Mm hm. Yeah. And i know youve spoken to people in dumbass, shirley, what have they said or commented in terms of what happened in 2014 and how thats affected the Current Situation now us. And thats also a really difference in each and every place and money, a port, of course, that the city center is destroyed, but to reboot, reconstruction is going on. Then people, uh, looking a little bit to go out in the future because they seeing okay, the war is almost over and done. Yeah, its good situation for example, done. Its, it is so completely different because the dont ask is child every day. And so people are asking me when we talk to them, why this is still going on since 10 years, so already and nothing happened. So some of them are live disappointed that this special military operation is not going fast enough. And all of us say, okay, we have to wait and, and see whats happened. But the situation is not comparable. Its different. And it share city. I will say, yeah, thats a really good point. And in terms of another part of the region, this operation, Nuclear Power plant and the way its been attacked. How dangerous is that . Do you think . I think everything at the us, him to have parking us in the west as doing is dangerous. And now we will send a f 60 and fight the jets and the station in may be pulled. And, and to this, these from back flights can it can carry nuclear weapons. What should russia do in this situation . I dont know as, but its a really crazy and dangerous situation and were escalating an escalating uh kind of elevator, but the looks like were never stop to escalate. Well, let me mention another escalation there. The cluster munitions that the United States is sending to ukraine. Have you heard much about that and the possible effect they could have . I know its similar to the, the pedal minds that we have seen at throughout the on box as well. We spoke to several soldiers and they say uh, the train inside is already using them. And uh, they are afraid of dissemination. Its really dangerous. Im a nation, they say um, so theres also this escalation, the spiral. Um, but we are empty for the admission in the west western countries and even the us is empty or most. So there is no other way if you want to escalate more and more, you really have to send these weapons. But we have to expect the interaction from the russian side. I think unfortunately, the key word of this conversation is escalation because ukraine has been escalating things by sending drones to hit moscow. They recently had moscow city several times. Now, what do you make of that . And how russia, i mean, has to react to that. I dont know how they can react or, but they will take it. There will be interaction of course and ascending drones to, to such kind of big city is or most to or mainly or im only 2 or 2 creates here. And its the same like the bomb being and shelling of the city of there are no military. Yeah. No military targets. So with that, were living on the people and with a drone, its only to create fear. I think its has no effect military effect. So theres going to be the summit where, where china is attending and starting uribe is leading to talk about a peace and ukraine. And theyre only going to hear ukraines side because russia wasnt invited. What do you think of that . Do you think that theres any ability to negotiate without respecting russias demands, of course not, but its, its the same game. And we cannot invites the empire of evil that the, his why russia is not invited to all this negotiations. But if we want to have peace in this area, we have to take, takes that reality into account, try me. It will not, never go back to, to ukraine and the other regions also. So as long as the western countries down to accept this, there is no other way, i think. Well, thank you for reporting and thank you for your time. Hendrick webber, norwegian rider, political analyst and former politician. Thank you. Thank you. And thats all for now for the latest breaking news and updates head over to r t dot com.
