There were no reports of any casualties and damage was said to have only been minor. The m o d claimed key of wanted to strike facilities located in moscow and the most gal reach and now we go to done boss where a residential area of done yet, city has come under ukrainian. Shelly local authorities claimed cluster munitions were used, which left one woman wounded and in the region opposite by the always yeah, local Authorities SayUkrainian Drone strike targeted the town of enter goldar where these i thought it was you have Nuclear Power plant is located no casualties.

The training is due to start this month. However, the Danish Defense minister says the program will not bear fruit until next year. The bell russian president has also waited on the issue of sending weapons to ukraine, claiming european citizens are exhausted by the conflict while their politicians continued to execute commands from washington. In one interview, 2 or ukrainian journalist Alexander Lucas jenco also mould about when this fighting will come to an end. 0 for you is up in the western europe. The gym is the fringe of those except the bridge. Of course, they are under america. They dont need this war anymore and they told people say that the boy is not in america, but a now house is, the war must be ended, the europeans absolutely ready for this. But so far theyre executing come ons, like give 15 lipids, but your opinions are reluctant to give military equipments. You see both the french and the american people, the dutch are reluctant to send weapons. So the west could no longer be called a single collective cement. They send the signals to president zelinski zalinski resist, because the main patron behind him is the United States. So europe is already slowly starting to drift. Public opinion in leading European Countries is very bad in relation to this war. Or more people are speaking out of gain states because they feel the home of this and they want its, the americans have profit taking from this and very encouraging zelinski in this regard. Therefore, there is no unity between europeans and zalinski in terms of continuing the war. And if the americans want to, they will signal to zalinski and he will sit down for negotiations. How could it not be that will be no um supplies, so that will be the will of the car. And why will the americans want to signal to the landscape, put them to a new appointment because they will understand that ukraine will not when it will lose. And if you crate lose is ultimately well then the west will be frosted. They. Busy they will need to give the signal sit down at the negotiating table at the right moment. Echo was as ready to intervene militarily in the share of diplomacy fails. That was the blunt statement from the block of west african nations following a meeting of the group and gone on thursday, fridays talk set to focus on a potential intervention plan. Every time it does say the really and forces of west africa moved the military on disability. And when its ready to such a deplorable beauty, your videos have been the most say good time on time. Big in the 1990 you see liberia is a radio in could you walk me be so today the same. Why are you going to be mean in need of your muscle cereals . Interest . Speak here, but thats as more going to die with. It was that vision, threats of military intervention started about 3 weeks ago after a cool led to military leaders taking power. However, there hasnt been consensus on the use of force to restore the previous government. Cobble of air de says its unlikely to take part well, gun and nigeria are split on the issue. Elsewhere on the continent, algeria and shad have said they strongly oppose interference. Well breaking up. Also in molly warrens, they would treat any intervention as a declaration of war. The African Union responded by saying its fiercely against any move on the chair. While in contrast, the Central African block backs echo also stands against the crew government in yeah, may, we gauged reaction in easier to see how people really feel about the situation. A video on the who did not give a demo validate to watch because has been tailor made to the president s in power. And we did not need it where the eco wasnt convinced or not the jazz ready for all options. We are ready, whatever eco was besides, we are ready for my reply. Ask god not to bring echo us. We lost more than 600 People Killed by jo hodges. I support the military and god perse, anyone who doesnt love new. Sure. Can we believe that what is currently going on a nice year is actually bigger than the saw hill regents. This is putting in question the democratic odor in west africa find in africa or is a whole if we fight today is to prevent these kinds of things happening and to ensure a future for our continent. Illegitimate, i dont put missouri and so i was still waiting for the results of the cost submitting a neighbor and gone out on the situation in new york. Many people here are welding behind the National Council for the safe guard of the homeland. And in addition to demonstrations and declarations, john new jerry and have organized themselves in the citizen which committee to stay a vigilant over any potential military intervention. Local sol, so say theyre reassured by booking a fossil and molly smell to support for this year. What is more, after the acting Prime Ministers visit to Charlotte News years government has said it is open to diplomatic dialogue. Now, even the United States has announced a new American Ambassador will take office in the days to come. Meanwhile, germany has given its backing to even the sanctions against the new military leaders in new share since the crew. Yeah. Mays found itself under a blanket of sanctions from former western partners as well as from its neighbors and the eco watch group. Most Financial Aid has been cut, while echo was members also imposed travel restrictions. The blocks previously used sanctions against molly, or king of faso, and denny were military to military coups took place as well. Earlier we spoke with an International Affairs analyst choose thinks that african nations should unite and seek diplomacy for all by all means possible. I wish somebody what will happen because we dont think what we need in africa right now is or so you know, the model of the game. So there are lots of missouri, you can see from the x of my country. So we have a cost there. Are they, there . Are they in front any also, you know, factors. Well, the extra videos of talk to us is those, those songs and things money for lives in the system by themselves. You know, leslie responsible for most of the was, you have in our lives and we hope that the african continental pulled themselves together. And to show that we dont get time. So you know, to, to, to a situation where we can destroy enough else, destroy and the infrastructure is that a large and they not do the full crisis is ethan dimension already. I dont think that initial be able to so level to kind of sense of that. So that is that stuff gets and right now that is why i keep you assisting so that they shall sit on the table and talk and go time. The country is not economy claimed by thats hes the sure did believe lots leave on age. If you look at the opportunities of domestic individuals, then this is out that the country can also live with these structures for every single day, you know, Senior Development of stripes outside someone else to do that aspect to the future. You dont take it. But once youve lost, you can always try, you know, just continue from, from, from, from where you know, to pick it up. You cant really take it back. Once youve lost a bank that unites the breaks group of rapidly growing economies has issued a new bond in south africa thats become one of the highest valued on the domestic market. The new Development Bank placed the obligation in 3 and 5 year trenches in south africas rand currency. The issue is part of a major effort to boost the national economy. Specifically, by increasing trade turn over, the bank has been strengthening its presence on emerging markets and around the world, and encourages the use of local currency as we heard from locals in south africa. Who believe brakes is helping to unite the african continent in the breaks is a good move to unify africa to bring about the unified currency. And so we can boat africa and move it forward. I know in south africa we strive for going through, which is basically bringing people to get the end, accepting everyone. So i feel like with the brakes, federal bring everything together, which is breaks institutions because i feel as if they were benefits. But tenchi, i feel like and saw that like, hey, you know, is a power struggle. And so i feel like the brakes were jersey and power. I saw that because i know they kind of have this be kind of me. So with breaks, i feel like would be health best i was just seeing if i have the argument for, for briggs versus waste is more about for African People specifically more. But where do you want your money really based to warranty, based in some type of interest or some kind of paper back to being that really has no value or in the role and the materials that we are currently standing on. And that being based on that day to day basis, i believe, and i think that of the worst, and people or the western community i as, as african. So the just want us to feel more in depth to, to them and be able to manipulate as we that advise us. We have them once we have goals, we have left and we have things that they would actually benefit more from us when we think we are benefiting from them. All the breaks grouping has also been discussing a unified currency across the block as it moves away from traditional dollar denominated, trade breaks, which includes the economic power houses of china. Russia in india, as emerged as a counterbalance to western, had germany as it promotes a more multi polar world trade and National Currencies is endorsed by bricks. Members, especially in view of the heavy sanctions that the u. S. And other western powers have imposed on arrival economies around the world. Earlier we spoke with an economist named adult, we root. And he says that its logical that bricks, countries move towards trade and their National Currencies. They are many reasons why dont you use the so thats a good financial marketing is what liquid needs are they like to be easy . Diesel bonds in south africa. In fact, theres a significant capital all good. Hes probably use some of the mostly put Capital Markets self only merging countries in the world. So its on that point of view. Its easy to do that. You can use an established Capital Market a 2nd. The of course its much bigger, a good, but also to issue bunch in your own currency as a be because you dont run the Exchange Rate risk. For example, if your issue and dollars, youd be an issue dollars and youve got a 2 week and then youre running an Exchange Rate risk as well. And i think 50, yeah, i think of the biggest countries should the low but might choose what they are going to see more know, especially when it comes to say for example, bones anybody comes to trade as well. So i think that could be, that could be a number of reasons. And the reason is all make sense to me because i think and economies are the growing decided african economies. But for the smallest of all the big countries. In fact, if you look at their date of size of the various economies, one can argue that to that because youve been being bought it, but its, if you start off with this, thats a good economy this year. Its probably not going to grow, grow very, very slowly. And if it can be that to the indians or even to the chinese and the chinese economies like dont being fed. But still they are right much, much for us in the south african economy. And of course, the much, much bigger economy. So now im gonna try to, so thats a good economy. We are simply not putting a weight. And the also to vision in terms of gravity says, not the washington, as formerly asked the pakistani care take, are governments to respect to prisoners, right . Submitted the rest and sentencing of the countries former Prime Minister in wrong con, the message continues to be clear to our partners and practiced on that. And any buddy held in detention should be fronted very human rights consistent with international law. And that continues to be the case here, i will let pockets, dont speak about any other details as it relates to on a mountain cons case, there was a, a caretaker, Prime Minister and government put in place and pockets done. We look forward to continuing to partner with boxed on on a number of issues, but especially as the gear up for the elections to take place in the forthcoming time. Earlier this week, pakistans caretaker government, the task with leading the nation towards economic stability. A pointed its 8 Prime Minister. The cabinet is set to include a new for administer who previously served as the countries and faster to the u. S. Now, this caretaker government will also be responsible for conducting the pakistani general election scheduled for november. The voting may be delayed due to a slow dilemma nation process, which threatens to plunge the country into a constitutional crisis. The state Department Also made a point of leaving it up to the pakistani stakeholders to make any further comments on the matter. With the court imposing a 3 year sentence to the countrys former Prime Minister and run con, over corruption charges nearly a year after the Election Commission of pakistan, duke disqualified him from Holding Public office. For 5 years. We spoke to the former Prime Ministers, special assistant, who says that the allegations against con, are not objective, is not only politicized. They are absolutely in humane the way things of transpired in the last 14 months, especially in the last 3 or 3 to 4 months. And you know, we have 13000 people in prison. Every single box on there you can saw 50. I am on cons. Party. Neither isnt, isnt hiding for in prison for an exam. There is nobody thats allowed out. You are not even allowed to carry his uh, you know, flag of his party. You are not allowed to take him on cons name on National Television and wrong hans picture is not allowed to appear on National Television. You have to blur it out. If hes in the picture, so i mean if thats not the less ation, and so if the source is on and off for the common month, i dont know what would be, and thats why we would hope that International Communities of a speak up on the human rights violation, display one in the country, and not just on matters which are, which i relevant. Theres only one agenda and that is to try to a lesson in ron hahns popularity and box on it. The ukranian president ial adviser has accused former french president. Nicholas are cosy of using quote, criminal logic for suggesting that crimea remain under russian control. The training official, mikhail, but the lack made those comments after sar cosy, said that returning the peninsula to key if would only fuel more armed conflicts. But to get more on this now were gonna cross live to our teeth contributor Rachel Marston in paris. Hi there, rachel. So what were the main points that the former french president nicholas are closely was trying to make here . Well hey, lets get ready to rumble. Once again, ukraine is taking on another member of the unity fight club. This time its a pawn shop between france and ukraine. Last week it was poland, former friends, president people that stuff cuz he has been virtually on the present here in the Countries Press this week. Hes promoting his new booklet comes out next week in which he revisit some key challenges in combat of his presidency. And whats been making the headlines here more than anything else . Has he does the media rounds, the circles, hes position on russia and ukraine. No one has ever had to guess what we call a self who the really things and thats not going to change now. And its that blunt list, apply that the situation in ukraine that really set off one of ukraines drama queens. So what exactly the south was the say, have a listen when it comes to this territory, which was russian until 1954. And were, a majority of the population has always felt russian, i think, and is to back, is illusory if the ukrainians do not completely managed windham backs and the choice will be between the frozen conflicts which were now will inevitably lead tomorrow to any hot conflict or we can come out and tell by resorting again to a friend, im strickland supervised brenda International Community to settled these to rhetorical questions in a definitive way. So the former french president pointed out the crimea edits, people were historically russian until 1954 that its population always felt russian and not to return to anything else would just be illusory. He said, he also said that europe needs russia. Russia is a neighbor of europe and will remain so in this regard, european interests are not aligned with american interests. We cannot stick to the strange idea of fighting a World Without fighting. So also asked why is it so hard to admit that ukraine really needs to just stay neutral, adding that numerous political leaders think yet and talk about it in the back rooms, but they just dont see it out loud. He said that an exit route should have been sound. So do you create conflict edits . Very upset, and the french president , a menu and i call did indeed try that routes, but then gave into pressure from eastern European Countries. He also added that now that the west finds itself stuck in the quote strange state of making more without really making more, which of course, the west says it isnt doing it all despite sending weapons constantly. So basically south who is making the rounds of the french press and commanding headlines as a one man wrecking ball against the conventional narrative when it comes to ukraine. The same establishment narrative that the e u is so desperate to protect that they ban platforms like r t that allow and platform these alternative facts and analysis to the conventional narrative. But what are they going to do blacklist or french president . Well, i guess your credit is going to try at least bullying him. Good luck with that because some who basically thrive on this kind of thing. It really didnt take long for one that you creating tribes and environmental, excuse top, advisors to lash out a soft cozy. And um, this is a pretty prominent voice of design, but heres what he had to say about it. The fantastic criminal, logical form, or french president you call us or to z, and we should justifies rushes. War of aggression has once again exposed one of the fundamental causes of todays war. It wasnt encouragement of the western leaders of britain criminal plans to seize the foreign lands in 2008, and especially in 2014 that contributed to the beginning of a full scale aggression in europe and the mass motor or be craniums circus. These encouragement is a direct complicity in the years long crime. Right, so it was a crimea remark to set him off because hes referencing 2014, but hes also talking about 2008. What happened there . Well, so whos the himself took a lead role in the george in warranty . 2008, and helping to secure peace in the wake of natives efforts to use that conflict to saddle up to russias border. Theyre like they did with ukraine. And so he stepped in and scored a guarantee for russia, which men did as it was the president of the time for both france and the you. And the deal was that georgia and its western allies would pull back if rest i did as well. And that worked out alternately, and this is a link to the advisor of things that half of piece making is genocide. But its not exactly the 1st time that team ukraine has overreacted to a deviation from their narrative. What cynicism and lack of tact, not representative of the friendly people of france. I demand an apology to my president and my people of ukraine. It doesnt sound very statesmanlike to behave like an offended liber sausage, as long as the war continues, nothing can be enough. So side, all totally cool and shell speaking of which nato secretary general insult number just said this week that they will keep flooding ukraine with weapons. That is until kia is ready for peace until theyre ready for peace, given how angry gets at the mere thought of peace. You have to hope that really this is just one of the situations where stolen bird is kind of like the parent who gives the patio at totter toy a wheel in the back seat of the car. Just to make him think that hes actually driving. Because if they are actually in charge castillo, this is going to work out. Alright. Archie, contributor Rachel Marston. Thank you. Now and other news, israels finance ministers pledge to spend 50000000. 00 to integrate palestinians in East Jerusalem into is really universitys thats after he had previously vouch to freeze the funding due to what he said was rising extremism within the institutions. Unfortunately, in recent years, we have witness nationalist extremism within the universitys finance minister also said he would no longer allocate cash to the arabs sector, claiming the money would go to criminal groups supporting terrorism. That funding had been promised under the previous government for infrastructure transport and fighting crime. This finance ministers decision promote this condemnation, not just from arabs, but also from these really interior minister and the National Security advisor. Meanwhile, the finance minister also intends to locate 180000000. 00 for Settlement Expansion and the occupied west bank. Money will reportedly come from cuts in the budgets of other ministries and it moves backed by the settlements minister, and will be debated at an upcoming cabinet meeting. As we spoke with someone from the National Committee of Arab Local Councils in israel, who believes that the ministers move is aimed at weakening palestinian communities. And israel cutting this funding from the local array be in the thirtys as an illegal step. This government started attempting to weaken the high up follow up committee and make it to legal, then attempting to make radian political policies illegal. And here we see a weakening of a heads of local authorities by cutting these funds from them. This is of course, a huge extortion. This is an attempt to weaken the Palestinian Community living and is ready territories. Im pretty sure that the finance minister smart fix the settler did what he did for racist reasons are the same time. He said a 1000000000 shekels budget to enhance the sacraments recently and the ministry of finance and also kept budgets from local and raving authorities. Well, so there are double standards since the criminals control is on the, on the governments 10 does not in attendance of local a reading authorities. And he doesnt cut any budgets from government ministries, but i need from local arabian authorities. This is of course, a very big motive and indicator of this ministers racism and deepening and enhancing settlements while weakening the local or raving authorities and the re being leaders about the guns deploying more forces to the waters of the persian gulf. The Us Defense Department says its to quote, deter, rainy, and forces in the region. It comes in at a spec between the us and a ran over the seizure of ships in the area, which is the gateway to the gulf of beaumont and the radian sea palm to one of the Largest Oil Fields in the world. Meanwhile, a bi partisan group of us senators has urged the President Joe Biden to offload hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil on board. A seas or radian tanker which has been held off the coast of texas since may. Thats despite the fact that no Us Energy Companies have expressed any sort of interest in being involved. As we request that you work expeditiously to resolve the delay in transfer of seized oil from the suicide john and continue to enforce the law against foreign terrorist organizations. Such as the i r g c. It is imperative that your administration make it clear that iran and designated foreign terrorist organizations will not be able to prevent our government from carrying out legitimate Law Enforcement operations. To run as warns that any us companies from the unload, the oil from the tanker will face the consequences we have. I declare that we would hold any oil company responsible, the salt to one load or crude from the vessel, and we would also hold america responsible. The era of hits and run is over and if they hit, they should expect to be struck back. Earlier we spoke with a senior Foreign Policy analyst who said that 3000 us troops in the persian gulf are whats feeding the crisis between washington and to run the sad thing. Again, seizing uranium over the call goes, is part of the United States, hoppey and a lot for us to be of on which comes in 12 different areas. One is a stealing b uranian, or this is nothing new. The main policy here seems to be uh, you know, all pushing around back in multiple fronts. One is fair during the normalization of ties and enhancements of relations and cooperation with solve the radio as both have stressed today. I mean, and yesterday they stressed, i mean pop uranium and so the officials that theyre looking for, for expanding ties in order to stabilize the regions and bring and restore up, you know, for security in the persian gulf. Now the presence, the, the southern presence of 3000 us troops in the region means that they have something in mind. They want to initiate action. If one refrains from step in back and then a big they need, they want to disrupt lives. The reason the United States is known to be saving on crises. Its not like so many other countries and powers. Its completely different. Once again, it seems to be the case. And this is the backyard of you want me to run mean not step back in this situation. It has already proved that lets remember that uranium arrested 16 us marines just after the endorsement of j. C. P. O. 8 in 2015. And they are not shy of doing that again. Or youre watching r t international. My colleagues union, oneill will be taking over in just about 30 minutes. So stay tuned. The plato, its a peculiar organization. It claims to be defensive military lines. But at the same time, claims it must constantly expand, had to this the life is quite projects, stability. In reality, it projects instability and in security and made russia, if its primary neutrality is one of the most flexible concepts and International Relations that you can imagine, which is why its so useful. But why it is so inherently different to the difficult to grasp. So that the chances we have is the country subpoenaed with the meaning that is useful to them and hopefully to, to all of this because i think its core, it means im not taking the side of either of these completely. The frustrating. Yeah. Looking at them for me to set the story to come skim. Eliza ocean left. See milan surgery, me to what the shuts it up that. So whats the one in 3 minute in a similar condition is interest set perhaps . And im assuming now clicking my load, lets to continue to set them good no matter who is particularly symmetric, listed with that instead of some actual leisure, specific on the vis her acceptable, but theyre bleeding. Its out of always presto, that wont video those mean except which in crash or can you multimeter those magic listed . Can you move the shows at least whats important
