Were trying these is the 1st language and now theyre introduced in swahili as well. Lets check it out. The are watching our to international. Im rachel. Ruble live in the russian capital right to our top story. The vote counting in slovakia is over and a new leader and vision is set to take the country forward robert feet. So smear party is points to defy the narrative, new crane, and focus on the countries internal issues. Instead. Who could i . Its like it has other and bigger problems in ukraine. We dont agree with and ukraine ive, youve sma forms of coalition and what we would do. Everything also is a part of the email you a simple everything for piecing you crazy and efforts to stop peace negotiations on the cranes. It looks good when you lets get the light us now and it brought us lava and cross live to ortiz correspondence, charlotte davinsky, charlotte quite a result of their in slovakia. What more can you tell us . Yes, thats why to say policy did even better than the prediction polls had suggested they would do taking almost 23 percent of the vote robot feet. So the lead to of so me is now waiting for the official note from slovakia as president to start forming his coalition. But you can pretty much guarantee there are already discussions on the way the best policy for them to join up with with the how last this is because the former leader of that party, which came ensued in the polls with around 15 percent and half a block of 27. 00 seats to offer is a former member of me himself. And there are many things that the 2 parties join the phone. Theyre obviously things they disagree with as well. But thats part and parcel of being in a coalition. But even if those 2 do join forces, it is likely that a 3rd party is needed to have a secure majority in the parliament here in slovakia, thats something roll of pete. So it said will take about 2 weeks. So weve got 2 weeks of waiting to see how that coalition will full. Now, one of the big issues in this election was actually not domestic, actually, ukraine. And when you craig a little bit, pete, so has been very clear on the campaign trail, which he does not want to supply another bullet to the crane. But that be something resonated both is he in slovakia with it has been assisting chance, went over the last year with warren crane and the physician over its previous government and not the you know, robot feet. So i was speaking to the press on sunday, asked that it was enough that his coffee had cleaned the top of the poles and the selection on the again took the 5 thought Campaign Pledge and said its something that he stands for. That if you look at some of the west and media over the last few days, they just got in swipe. What, what pizza it was being fro puting for russia. His policy certainly is more favorable to russia than some of the others. He is with us here, but he says he would probably describe himself as being pro peace and thats what he is looking to just finding a way to get silo between russia and ukraine and finding peace on the ground. Even if that means the ukraine has to give with some of the territories that it would like to hold onto, you know, that has been a lot of reaction to the fact that well, but pete says, party has one. Not all of it has been good. Lets have a listen more in victory and so market for the summer over over to buy go a pro russian populism, champion of this information armed with a social discourse or flexion on the future of europe and democracy is necessary, is you know, as you do the zip back to what clearly youve it worries me. I want to say everywhere in europe wake up, it means the populist racist pro russian extreme rights parties cannot come to power. What we see and brought us law this morning. Even though we see a young progressive man who has run a very good campaign, there is a risk for this country and for other countries, as well as me, it describes itself as being a party to the last 12 feet. So it has been very clear that hes not pro war tool. He is pro peace, and that is something that he wants to pursue. That was, of course, from a victor open in nearby hungry at suite welcoming feet. So back saying, guess whos back and said it was always good to work with the patriot, the game. And this is perhaps what brussels is concerned about is that now there are 2 loud voices within the e u that it said that they dont want to on the plane in the autumn looking for pushing forward. Not peace plan. And looking at the going on between russia and ukraine, and that is claimed being the position from the you over the last year. Our t correspondence, charlotte defense case. Charlotte, thank you for earlier we spoke with the chairman of the durham and Opposition Group for sovereignty. And constitution ralph niemeyer, he lays out the argument that the change is coming because the voc in his neighbors dont want to be party to the ukraine conflict. It will change. Youre locked into the European Union now because theyre a member of states and all these decisions have to be conducted by the majority. So you see here, im going to be all ready on the different stance to watch the palm supply to ukraine. Youll see probably also other nations very soon like for gary of romania who also have the Interest Rates in the front of the folder. So they all dont want to be drawn into that conflict. In slovakia has support of the 2 claim robot fico, who used to be Prime Minister already about 10 years ago. So he is someone who understands way both the mechanisms of how the people are taking. And so he was listening carefully to his paper and thats why he run the campaign of saying we do provide military like fucking dot coms any longer. And that will shift this down. The entire European Union is taken as slovakia as new later prioritizes has countries. Internal issues over the ukrainian agenda, bulgaria sees a common settlement. Rising hundreds in the country have taken to the streets and expressed their disagreement with sophias support to key of on the march. So named for peace, independence and social justice protesters, amanda neutrality in the russian, you claim complex, as well as the call to the governments resignation. Administrators tied National Flags and the anti war banners. One of them that translates to no American Military bases and no american soldiers in bulgaria. The starting, the pole is now where opposition later donald task isnt gearing up to challenge the ruling governments and his countries of parliamentary elections that set to take place in 2 weeks. Time theres a task has rallied hundreds of thousands of his supporters on the streets of war or soft holes, but his party in a position to give the incumbent conservative coalition. A run for their money task has vowed to mend ties with the e u, which have recently been sprained over a polar span on great imports from ukraine, the to the grain conflict of britain, the defense secretary stated that british instructors should be sent to you, crime however, Prime Minister richardson, ive had to walk that back saying it wont be happening in the current conflict, then that essentially the man now in charge of the countrys military twisted the truce in the following statement. Particularly in the west of the country. I think the opportunity now is to bring more things in country and not just training, but were also seeing be for example, move into manufacturing in country and mr. Opposing about this on please to just be absolutely clear about whats happening there. People will know for a long time that weve been doing the trading, ukrainian citizens and soldiers. Weve been doing that here in person. Weve taken the lead on that. A lots of other countries have joined our assets and its making a huge difference and well continue to do that. Well, the defense actually was saying was that it might well be possible one day in the future for us to do some of that training in new christ about something for the loan. So not the here. And now the remote british soldiers that will be sent to fight in the car in conflict. Thats not whats happening. Meanwhile, russias former president , dimitri method, has made it clear that british instructors operating in ukraine will be what he calls legal targets for russian and armed forces. As cabs, a so called summer counter offensive has failed to make strides across the front lines. According to moscow, ortiz, senior correspondent, or i guess the reports from the Battle Ground of the sun breaks over the horizon. Fresh day of violence begins, the ukrainian tillery has started early. Maverick can supply the cluster munitions, scream through the skies. The symbol of the problem used to be 120 millimeter shells. They would fire them constantly. Now they have a shortage. They far no more than 30 a day with cluster munitions. They dont start for anything or anyone. We all with, from Deputy Commander of a special operations unit. My battalion this morning see checking on his for what positions these are are i forwards observation the point now they keep watch round the clock as part of the enemy is about 200 meters way sometimes even mice a welcome. They offer a distraction even a little relief from the tension. The h, as in the, a bi position, drew known for ages, take tons on juicy. They see from more prison or a vehicle we handle air recall and we also correct artillery fire or what we watch. We spotted and wed get the things done or were taken apart. Their defenses. We have hits on transport to the enemies of freight on my word. So hes washing up a corporate just walking around. So theres these trenches havent been prepared. Theres no cover above or such. Recklessness is often punished, both so much the queue, but to keep the enemy down to keep them tense, afraid of size, who got them . That was good. That was beautiful to the wait for it to clear. They do this 24 hours a day in shifters. The, the it is now morning with hands full is all about speed. The premiums for so have drones. A large swamp buggy arrives to travis pulls us off. Its a drone. Kamikaze. Keep an eye of the beeping you heard is from something that never existed before this conflict, but it has proven death in the valuable i the as i store the load it with the simple view, the basics, looking at the on the kind of another on the on the nice tv the menu on the what you are fully be still there, give me the old book or, i mean its just north for a new nations old kindly caught the drones at the present. So you crate and seems to have run into a shortage lately, not just with drugs. The situation is such that all you create in the tax of chase. The bus to craig would willingly sacrifice hundreds of its fights is to capture trench aside and trench 20 meters across. Now, comparative silence rains. It is suspected the keeps forces here us suffering a manpower shortage habits because of the huge casualties suffered during its summer offensive. Whatever the reason the silence is sometimes deafening. These forest is cedric a vital, undoubtedly, the battle here will soon review in uh list. But for now, imperative tom holds even if it offers very little comforts for id gasdio of odyssey from claim in the gods region. With russia is closer ties between africa and china. Moscow has opened a Foreign Language courses and its schools that now study chinese swahili and im hark are to use the correspondence. Marina customer eva visited some of the schools, taylor, whats new a washer. Last week i have become friendlier than ever in recent years. And another step towards cements and that relationship is learning each others language is the number of russian speaking of african language will grow as well. Because this september, a handful of Public Schools across my scope began teaching m hardwick and swahili, obviously, to 2 of them to see just how much interest there is. So initially figured out where it all started when we went to the university where they told us about americans and even then were told that we might be able to start it. I was happy because this is a unique opportunity. This school was attended by the late Russian Diplomats and former un on bassett or vitale, truck. And so it makes sense that this was among the schools chosen to not have been a much store. We must understand so that the options to learn this language are divided into 2 parts for our graduates. On the one hand, african country is already promising market and graduates with knowledge of the american language could be in demand for businesses or future investors. On the other hand, one of the you ends institutions is located in the capital of cclc. We hope that students, if they are imbued with culture and history, can be in demand at International Organizations such as the un and unesco. So far to African Languages are an offer here in moscow. Im hark, which is the official language of the field but also use another part. So were Eastern Africa and swahili, which is the official language of 10. Yeah. Tends in the end, the African Union as a whole for century students around the world were taught english, french, german, or spanish as a Foreign Language in schools. It was always something european, definitely not asian, or ask, look at the box and not a year in russia. Its like the school, for example, were trying, these is the 1st language and now theyre introducing swahili as well. Lets check it out. The adult the doing with my colleagues and i talked for a long time about how we could promote trans special languages. This high school level, last year we entered into an agreement with the most co state university, and they asked if we would like to stay in africa language. In addition to chinese, of course we agreed we were ready if anything interesting is shot to come to us. This year we have recruited a whole clause. The state has the swahili language, the guys are happy, they really like it because already see something despite the fact that less than a month has passed since this task of this, that is because that she starts young me. Besides showing me i can be, i can write, i can speaking sure. Jesus, i think that i can even push the im just, im document which is why here. I have never heard of swahili language before. And i was very interested to find out what kind of language because when i heard about it and decided to move to the school and no employment to enroll in oriental studies all this way. He literally to department. You know, this is a 1st experience and of course i cant say that its easy for us as the institutes representatives or for the students. We are still getting used to each other and editing the program because it is based on a textbook to this study that Higher School levels. In general, this program will encourage children to have a positive perception of africa so that they and their parents understand the prospect of the continent. This initiative is set to have made russia the 1st through a p and country to teach African Languages and its Public Schools. It was made possible thanks to most Schools Institute the asian and African Studies not only curated the process, but also help provide the teachers the School Year Just started. So its too early to tell just how popular and successful these lessons will be. The only thing we can say for sure the kids are excited and looking forward to not only learn an african language, but also visit the coincidence and be able to interact with the people. Theyre somewhat say thats already a significant step forward. That means that a true visit goes to invite you to our healey. C, g milan who needs to show me name one. But on the follow low level, the cooler body which i for one. And i forget the sights of also express their interest in developing educational projects with russia earlier we spoke to, as you might see on the on know, the minister of education in virginia. Faso who reflected on cooperation with russia in the field are difficult. But we know that the russian Education System is built in such a way that education has always been added best. And it is for this reason that martina fast so wants to learn from russian experience. We are absolutely confident that russia does not only train students to gain qualifications, but actually quotes skills at the center of its Education System. We also have already carried out st. Serious reform of the Education System in burke, you know fast. So we decided that starting from the bachelors degree, we could focus students on their career paths. At the same time, we have introduced practical training in universities, enabling students to apply their knowledge in the fields well contributing to Socio Economic development. And recall sure is one of our g sectors. This is where we intend to really strength and cooperation with the various russian universities. As you know, martina fast, so does a country of mineral resources. So we need to build up expertise in exploration and mining along with all this the results. So the issue of health and medicine. Our vision today is to build sustainable more efficient ties between russia and berk unit fast. So by establishing a University University in a fast, so within this university, we will be able to not totally develop the areas that i just mentioned, but also to attract experts in the field of health care. The review, any sanction is imposed on berk, you know, fast, so as an opportunity, as i often say, it doesnt take a weapon to attack people and cause them pain. But you shouldnt put any pressure on the Education System. We understand it so that our salvation lies in education, and it is the arsenal of our partners as well. As you know, the system in which most french speaking countries operate is often criticized for the gaps that exists between education and the labor market. We deliberately chose restroom to help us reform our Education System so that we would no longer be dependent on another state. We need a reliable partner. It is about entering into a mutually beneficial partnership, in which each side recognises each others sovereignty. And from this point of view, i think that relations with russia to meet these criteria for us. Energy is one of the key issues. Since we are not from Energy Independent ends because of that power. Sovereignty isnt stake. Why establishing closer ties with russia and using the technologies at his disposal, we can achieve Energy Independence in the near future. And this of course includes nuclear energy, which is very important. But we do understand that martinez paso has its limitations, including in terms of affordability, together with russia. We are in the process of developing solutions that will allow us to gain access to this type of energy. And if we really want to revolutionize the industry in our country, then we have no other chance then to think about how to make high Quality Energy affordable by jerry a markets as 63rd anniversary of independence from British Colonial rule on sunday. And an address to the nation president bola to new, but we spoke about the countries current Economic Situation saying that my dear and that must bear with the hardship as a great future will be built on the reforms that have been put in place in the west african nation.

And it was said hes investigating the Country Central Bank for past lapses at how to provide a similar a car in place. The president , in june stocks, the federal bank stop know, copy in immaculate and appointed a new one for the while. Some of the syllables, policies of one of many of us criticize them last week. Like here and walk us, you know, announce that the game didnt jasmine. It strikes action nation wide to protest the government policies. If that happens, it will bring economy activities across sectors. So hold 17, hes a r t a boy john like syria. All right, im back in about 30 minutes with much more news in the meantime. Up next on cost off the west long history of protecting nazis and demonizing all things russian starts. Samuel and martin j discussed with hosts paid a little bit by the hello and welcome to cross stuff where all things are considered on people of else the west. That as a nancy problem and its just not in canada. The west is a long history of protecting the please and demonizing all things russian. The west is attempting to rewrite history. Also a single math in the New York Times tells us everything we need to know about the west losing proxy war in ukraine. The to discuss these issues and more, im joined by my guess. Martin j america actually is an Award Winning journalist and commentator. And in budapest we cross the george w l, a. T as a pod graphs throughout the god, but which can be found on youtube and locals. Gentlemen, costs up rules. In fact, that means you can jump anytime you want. And i always appreciated. I start out with georgia in budapest, which the of canada and crudo is still reeling from one of the most god awful events in ive ever seen on display in my life actually parading out an actual nazi when. If you know the historical record, thousands and thousands of on nazis were allowed entry into canada at the same time, based on their time to being and s as a member. And at the same time you had jews that were just located and they were put in Detention Centers because they were deemed to be possible communist. And now its kind of gone full circle. They want to tell us that this was a surprise to anyone, but anyone that knows the history shouldnt be surprised at all. We only made a surprising, its just the pure stupidity of the canadian leadership. Go ahead, george. Well, of course it wasnt a surprise, but they clearly so that they would get away with it. And you have to keep in mind that almost everybodys a knew exactly who he was it for. So if you look at chris, you have freeland, who is clapping. Malik legal, see the footage of the traffic manager, but she knows very well who this person was. I mean, she grew up within that the extreme ukrainian nationally as the household to speak ukrainian. Her grandfather had been a propagandist in nazi occupied poland. And again, lets remember that you know, this a few years back, this was expose and she
