A whole Community Riding on this vast machine, as it actually takes off of this magnificent machine. Hurry up towards the cost of us and ushering in a new era of space exploration. Russia races toward the stars in its 1st moon mission, in almost half a century. The you are watching archie international. Im rachel ruble live in moscow. This is the weekly with a look at the top stories of the week. We begin in these era where the Prime Minister of the qu, government has hit out at the you for preparing to slap sanctions on the country. The official says its inhumane. And unacceptable. After the european blocks Foreign Policy chief announced new restrictions are on the way the welcome to the decisions taken by you co boss heads of state of the 2nd emergency summit, the situation in the area on august 10th. In particular, the desire to seek a diplomat sick way out of the Current Crisis taken into account the simultaneous mobilization of the co west reserve forces. European union fully supports the efforts undertaken by a co us and is preparing to contribute to their implementation in practice by introducing a new regime of individual sanctions against a new leadership of georgia. The echo was impose sanctions on these there shortly after last months military to the measure is from the west. African block include the border restrictions and the suspension of financial ties. But the country locals say the moves already having an impact on their livelihood. I was surprised to see last monday that the price of oil and rise had rise and by 15 percent in the market. And yet these are basic products from a business. I used to buy 2 bucks of rice for 22000 and see if a pranks and in 10 days i could make a profit of 15000 and see if a francs after selling. But because of the cost sanctions, prices have gone up. And the 2 bucks are sold to me you for 30000, say a pranks which affects my profit. For the time being, ive decided to buy kilos the price to cook with in order to keep my customers loyal. But if the situation doesnt improve, ill have to close my restaurant until the situation is restored. Of course, these sanctions will have a negative impact on the share for a while. As you know, this kind of situation has always affected the economy of a country in a few days a week. Certain products will be difficult to find on the market. Basic commodities such as rice, oil, flowers see. We also know those will be in short supply. The various economies in danger of collapse and with the sanction send for us from eco us. I also thing the eco us aim is to prevent the qu, governments from being able to install itself and rule peacefully adding to the problem as locals are also struggling to keep the lights on. Thats as nigeria, whose power supply accounts for 70 percent of new Jersey Electricity has cut off the land locked the country in line with the eco was sanctions, missouri, and journalist, tennessee oba reports on the latest developments in the region as well as a border deactivation on august the 10 by regional forced to take back power from the hands of these. Busy to government blood pressure. Busy testing mouth to zones why the regional block as voice is opposing its military intervention and these are growing louder, including the members Stage Capital for each the country wants a military intervention is to be sure would be detrimental to africa. Local media report, airport photography and on saturday was decided it was the decision seemed rushed as far as administrative success would only support a forces attempts to restore democratic order in new jersey. Diplomatic donaldson. We believe that resolving the crisis and to show my ministry means may lead to a protracted confrontation in this african country, as well as to a shop the stabilization of the situation. It is a horizontal region as a whole in by jerry a protest that saturday march the streets of game plan military intervention, taunting war against new jersey is injustice oclock. My westland forces thousands also got an outside French Military base and we just kept telling me, i need to support to lead us and the demand was for a Foreign Forces for me. Sir francis, just for my power has around 1500 personnel in the palm to new jersey. Aust, at foreign minister describes the air force proposed management innovation in the sure as a Police Operation against hostage take course. Timothy youll be as will arching a pull, john nigeria and academic and convenor of the saves trust. A policy dialogue for him says african states need to resolve the needs, are crisis by themselves without interference from the you, the global sizes in the, at the very, very, at the negative 11 person i mention that to us and we, we make it easier because were going to be resolved as low as possible. They be used to hiding and what you see is it has to be in east africa is if you come in this object. This statement is what it is. Ready rather than just a Nation Division these uh is done through to solve this matter, a different metric. No, but they like it goes by africans. But it was a big brother to make the, the position the whole lesson was from the big. This is the, is get brought up with tensions and thats the whole region of africa on the rise. Some politicians in france have publicly criticize the countries policies toward its former colonies. Today its new share. Yesterday it was molly, the Central African republic brewing of a storage acting fronts, french forces, french companies. But we did not understand the pollution of french policy in africa on a military level, as well as on the level of John Development or on the level of cultural and linguistic corporation. Today, the french effort gulf yesterday has been replaced by the military russian africa by the economic chinese africa and by the diplomatic american africa. And unfortunately, what do have to say about the regression of the french language and comparison was english based on the dressing french present. And youre not co now in a Major National newspaper live feed, yahoo and theyre doing it on behalf of 94 french parliamentarians. Now what they want, they say is a quote review of frances vision of africa and links to the content because its all just suddenly a big mystery to them as to what could possibly have gone so wrong. So the French Defense minister responded to the letter by basically saying failures, what failures you, big drama, queens, i cant let it be sent. An operation by hand was a failure. Our army has constantly pushed back terrace groups and this a how savings thousands of lives there. But also protecting french people at home from the threat of attacks on our soil by hand was not a failure. It is a mistake to say that apparently none of the french politicians know why africa would possibly turn to Russias Wagner group for security services. When frank strips were doing such a bang up job with counterterrorism and stability, that crews were happening left and right right under their noses in places like molly guinea and 14 and also and the chair and the west african region was just named the global at the center of terrorism by the institute of economics and pieces 2023 global terrorism index, and media as an added bonus, even got a special mention in that report for its terrorism search. It was just earlier this year. The french president evaluated mccaul, tried re branding terraces, africa strives e, in an obvious effort to have an excuse to just keep hanging out there. Looks like the form of this it says on. I can all come to sit in with the jackie from this new phase of this new era in which were entering is to deploy our security presence in the Partnership Form so that it fits this new partnership toward the repetition of history. Theres another path, another path which consists not producing an advocate to a field of competition or profit. And then considering the african countries as partners with whom we shared interests and responsibilities. Not co repeatedly mentioned at partnerships with African Civil Society translation, french cash for energy owes to do frances bidding for it in africa. Mac, who made a point of saying that this was all about not quote, taking people for imbeciles. Which is kind of like a big flashing read sign advertising. I thought, you know, im about to just that its not like mollys foreign minister didnt spell it all out for michael and anyone else willing to listen . What exactly france was doing wrong in africa process that its, its up to fonts to assess the results of the operation. The objective of operation by con, was deliberate molly from Service Groups and provide security. But i can see that 9 years later, the overall results. I see overall result because there were many players involved. The overall result did not meet the expectations of the people of molly and the region because were only fighting terrorism in the north of the country. And now there are growing issues with terrorism in other 1000 areas. In molly, we see more and more into a communal violence which leads to a lot of depths at present. The situation in many countries of the region is unstable. One cannot claim that tamales to blame here, poly itself separate from the invasion of believe you by western countries. The results of the operation was not worth the effort. And the money invested rushing for mr. Said gala rough also pointed out last year that former french for mr. John elijah, the yall and the chief different not use of bro had told him that russia had nothing to do in africa. Neither by the state means nor by private means because africa is an area of interest to be you and friends. Maybe they should have just told the problem that they licked it to like kids do with the entire box of chocolates or candy. Just to make sure that russian knew that her belong to them with this level of self awareness, its all indeed just a big mystery as to why french seduction efforts have backfired in africa. And young men, thousands of locals have rallied against the presence and activity of the us navy. In the red sea, demonstrators shouted death to america and vowed to defend their nations sovereignty against the wes. This comes as to our ships with 3000 American Military personnel arrived at the ball rein based. Us fits sleep in the red sea, washington has called the deployment the response to growing tensions with the ron and the countries unless involvement in seizing merchant vessels to somebody to ron denies. Whoever the us itself has detained and a rainy and c tanker which is now dropped off the coast of texas. The amenities have warned the American Navy against getting too close to the countrys waters. That i did my message to the aggressors, and the red sea is this pulled back your navy fleets. Now, because by the will of outlaw your ships and fleets will be destroyed and will sink into the red sea. This is your last warning. We are ready to take this fight with them to land there and see what you want to political analyst and journalist who says mallory says the us 6 to control the red sea through hostile acts against human. A little bit and straighten comes after the many people got the news this week. Busy isnt us troops have deployed in the red seats . And this is something that they took out to the speech today. To scroll, we condemn strongly denials, sending very clear warning to the us by doing administration and that much to use the many people, the human army and the on site. A lot of movements these, theyre ready to defend their land. Theyre not going to accept the continuous exploitation by the us and western powers over young with the land and over a year many territorial waters, which has been the case for the past 6 decades. Under the previous we genes a be, you know, of the, you have any government which serve the interest of the us which serve the interest of western powers. That message was clear. More us dominance over year many affairs and no longer with them and be a proxy stay to the us and to the se led coalition. This process comes after you know, the deputy minister of Foreign Ministry since a very clear warning to the us. And that is, if they continue to approach here many waters, then they will face the cost we use war. They have ever been involved in. And thats a very significant statement by the deputy minister. And perhaps thats an indication that the army is fully prepared to come out or, and to protect their territory territorial waters. From any point invaders. I think the majority of the how many people, they, they believe that the 10 of us wants to control the red sea so that it can continue their harassment and they continue, continue their acts of terrorism, buying, bathing and occupying, you know, many brands yummy islands and by controlling a territorial waters that belong to the many governments, thats the biggest type of terrorism that the young people are condemning. And our appointment defenders at the us administration. You know, the british, the french and german government, this needle white horses that had been established to, uh, you know, spread their, uh, had too many across the world by occupying lands. And by controlling the, you know, Global Economy and controlling the shipping lanes as the only people see that you was trying to do once again. And theres a very significant statement that was made last week by a Government Official here. And that is, you know, he believes that the us and the western powers, theyre planning the pre emptive, straight on, on the government in order for them to do that. They have to control how many of brands they have to control, many uh, waterways and they have high, yeah, many islands. So they can, uh, you know, waging war argument, any time that the, the, you know, any time that the one to any time that you want to strike them and theyll be able to do so if they control the red sea. But the many government has strongly sent the message that this will not be a reality, and they are ready to do it. Theyre ready to fight and be ready to go to war. If the, if thats the case and if thats what the us plans to do. The wildfire is in hawaii of claims the lives of at least 90. 3 people becoming americas most devastating in front of them. The cost of repairing and replacing a property is destroyed in the fire is may exceed 5500000000. 00. Thats according to the federal Emergency Management agency in the pacific disaster center. Many residents did not receive emergency alerts due to power and cell Service Outages and the fires cause it is under investigation. President biden has designated hawaii a federal disaster area and ordered additional aid. I dont even know how to explain it because its like the total wars. Oh then youre just like you dont even know how to feel. We lost everything. You think god, that like we still have each other and were all alive and safe and counted for its like for the only things we have now because the reason that we had in the past, i hear theres no sirens went off. Nothing, nothing. We just had to know that or so those fight or flight with no warning whatsoever and it spread in the matter of minutes. I dont know if its ever going to be livable again, i dont know. Forgetting the whats all this but still smoldering, its talking hazardous. I dont know. I dont know. To be months it can never happen. I dont know. So even sure what several drones have been downed over rushes curse scanned the build the rod regions bordering ukraine. Earlier, the Russian Defense ministry also reported another drown was intercepted this morning, just hours earlier. The bridge linking that crimea to the mainland was targeted once again to ukrainian missiles were shot down in its immediate vicinity. According to moscow that came near hours after another attempt to the task on the peninsula on saturday, making 3 assaults in a period of just 24 hours. All were repelled. For both sides in the war, drones had been playing a key role in the front lines where they are proving to be a cheap and effective option. Ortiz egos, dental off has been seeing it for himself. The soldiers in this pickup truck has no idea theyre being watched. The drone operate the follows the every move from dozens of to lomax is a way. This is one of rushes. Largest surveillance drones, very rarely get some of the sites of journalists. But were of course, are lucky. Were about to witness. Itd be newest, its main purpose is to surveil d, behind the enemy lines. Sheesh flying it over a 1000 meters. Its ghost like invisible, silent to see. Hey, ukraine. Soldiers sold pine trees concealed the little cobb park well. Moments later, its obliterated by a hail of trap know the neighboring trench is spotted and smashed too. As plumes of black smoke rise from the opposite exit its inhabitants make a run for it, carrying one wounded with them just in time as the entire stronghold is set to a blaze. Turning vehicles the into useless shod chunks of metal, no smaller as the budget. The main task is to conduct recognizance fabi on the front line. We do text ending the yachts hillary, the transport of personnel reserves, and also actively moment to evacuation areas. For example, of to actually of hosted with these main task is to reveal the head locations of the enemy. You know, when these drones carry out their duty note place is safe and no time to at night. In fact, at coolant temperatures, heat signatures, treacherously evident crews maintaining such you avis crazy targets for key or forces, not basically effects the. Sometimes it happens that due to the mean, so free the warfare, the pictures just to come by, we manage to get away from the interference. We tend to work even if there is some kind of directed attack. Sometimes the enemy gets into the camera settings who is still managed to get rid of this negative impact. Its the ultimate game of hide and seek elimination, e close death. When that take sold and wednesday to make is done of reporting from the dumbass out, the ukraine is reportedly planning to cancel is visa free arrangement with israel and asked the nato lead at the fence Contact Group ramstein to exclude tel aviv. Thats after. Yeah, of accused it of potential espionage and of taking a pro russian position on the international arena. These really authorities did not provide any real assistance. Instead, the information obtained during the meetings and the ramstein format is used by israel and its own interests. The Ramstein Group is a coalition of 54. 00 countries, including 31. 00, nato states like all of the alliances to provide you crane with military support. The group takes its name after the us air base in germany, where the 1st meeting was health cube has previously accused israel of providing russia with the information that received at the ramstein meetings and refusing to supply ukraine with weapons. The latest criticism from cab comes after tel aviv announced it was suspended, medical care for ukrainian refugees siding a lot of funding, as well as invest or to hear her said his countrys interest come 1st. Firstly, they, the nato states and the state of war. Unlike my country, secondly, israel as a country that in the event of aggression can rely only on itself, unlike nature members who are protected by collective security treaty. Earlier my colleague nikki aaron spoke with an his riley journalist and political analyst who says, tel aviv is maintaining its relations with moscow, despite intense western pressure. I believe that the israel sees as russia and not as an enemy, but as a friend for many years and decades. And thats why they dont want to take a position like the west against russia. But on the other hand, the do not that stays in the ukraine, toshiba, right . And is ro today to some substantial a at least to Say Something substantial, but as long as its riley Prime Minister can continue, and these are, have the government to be neutral. They will do that because this route has so much to lose if they will add they decide that this conflict or ukraine is it has lashed out at television, ready for slashing the medical a to 14000. 00 ukrainian refugee. So i think a lot of funding also take on kids criticism all the way the government couldnt somehow be justified. I dont believe that is, well, doesnt have money for this help. I think the reasons are different. I can guess maybe they dont want the game to take a position at this conflict and thats why they want to just housing through cran and send they want to help it. So i believe this is the reason and im not sure whos behind it some more. Do not that states or more a ukraine itself. Thats pushing gas either out of date this and some kind of side in this conflict because for ukraine i dont think is roach and really make a change. Its not a game changer for ukraine if these are a little help more to the ukrainians visa and military aid, or is that and this a, to the refugees. I believe just if the pressure would be from the United States and that the can in some way, you know, to make the National Security of fee is around or some kind of venture. Thats the only reason thats a is riley government could make this move. But it should be at direct trach at, towards these around that if you dont send the military a or Something Like that. So you cry and we will hold our health and military help to ease redlands. And then at that stage these uh billions of dollars each year to is around for and military weapons. So thats, i believe, the only thing that can really change this as a resolution to kenyas. Political unrest may be inside with the government and opposition parties coming in negotiation after a week. So violent protests and both sides eager to fix the divide were real nice. The time is extremely of the essence and manner. But yeah, i think so taking it for granted that they are just here. We have um, i think given that this initial sitting had the most pressure. No, very good face. Very good from the mines. When you have had a very successful meeting, this money, and the times we have a grant that to begin the process once a from the agenda items. And i think we should be to do that. By monday, we talked about everything about some websites have agreed that the brands have that luxury of funding. We cannot afford to fail in this process. Approaches sparks by the rise and the cost of living have swept across kenya since july, with officials reporting at least funny jats and the violent classes. The stafford in the countries public that has surpassed 70000000000. 00, which is over half of the countries g. D, p. And demonstrators have denounced the countries tax increases and soaring in place them. Government opposition has demanded at that incumbent president retail resign and is pressuring the government to audit. Last years election of the independent analyst can both are says fresh negotiations may have a positive impact on kenyas Socio Economic difficulties directly when yeah. And the d. C has not been assigned to the cause. And since then, we have never even agreed and accept the questions of the question. Them legitimacy. The so the government or the government came into office, even when they went through the processes of late issued from the court. The Supreme Court and Everything Else is itself is see, is talking Critical Issues the, to the members pool with the quality, very exclusive and interviews and employment. Governance is Climate Change with that as a result of the approach should. It is questions that the talks i know just call me the data working, but the bottom that the system, the daily kind of the central these is the political question that has impact one or the other things that theyre losing the whole point for pinion and political question russia took one giant leap for a Space Program this week heading back to the moon for the 1st time in almost half a century. On friday, a rocket roared toward the stars this mission to land a module. Busy on the south pole of earth, natural satellite, where it will begin a pioneering search for water. Our 2 se bows was that the launch. Its a historic moment here in la staci and rushes far east. Its 7000 kilometers east of moscow. And the whole community of scientists, engineers and workers are waiting with a mixture of excitement in trepidation for the launch to begin. Of this vast, so used to rock is behind me. This machine weighs over 300 tons. Fully fueled as it is now on its carrying a payload of about 615. 00 key to drums with the lender. And of course, this is russias a latest emission to the moon. And the last one was in the 1976, all the hopes and dreams of a whole Community Riding on this vast machine as, as, as it actually takes up behind us. So you, we level look, now this magnificent machine, power your, towards the cost us. So the earth document very good. This you to machine route to space again as many, many hopes and dreams, years of technological expertise and work on it to this on a successful launch for russia. Magnificent, the magnificent, the. I think the witness its, its really hard to find the words. The executive director of advanced programs and science at rus cosmos. Alexander, blushing, co explains the key aims of the mission. The new 25. We have a special drilling read on board, which will sink 40 centimeters into lunar surface, collect and analyze the composition of the soil and other components on board and send this data to earth. In addition to the situation of radiation, electromagnetism and dust on the lunar surface will also be analyzed. The main task of this mission is the search and accurate elemental analysis of water on the surface of the moon. Because the winter south pole is now america for spacecraft from different countries, the region is considered the most preferable for the arrangement of smart bases in the future. The water is something without which it is difficult for an organism to exist. And it is a potential resource for obtaining rocket fuel, oxygen and hydrogen in particular. And it is a scientific source of information
