Ill look into increasingly worrying the all some people that are saying, you know, what, what are the options for echo as if indeed there is no agreement before that deadline. So my list to saying could we see an extension of that deadline given by echo us in order to try and find some sort of peaceful solution to this crisis. And then there are others that say, say, well, could we actually say an agreement by echo, as for a potential transitional period, as russian Officials Say one of the oil times this has been hit in the ukraine in drawing, attacking the black sea. They said the vessels, the engine room was damaged about that no one was heard. It reportedly happens sound for the bridge that and things russia to cry.

The rest of 65 people more than half of them. Mine is civilian has been hit by the was flooding and decades. 3 people have died and floods have washed away cause and bridges and forced many people from the homes. Roads and rail lines have been cut off and electricity supplies disrupted. Well, those are the headlines. This thing post is coming up next. There is no channel that covers world views like we do as a rolling correspondence. I am constantly on the goals, covering topics from politics to environmental issues, scalable like nothing ever seen. What we want to know is how do these things affect people . We revisit places stay human when theyre no international headline. Houses are really invested in that. And thats a privilege. As a journalist, another piece of Central Africa has been taken over by military force. Rush works on the sidelines and on the here showing once its citizens to be on the look out online for spa and the indian journalist who is on a mission to expose the dangers posed by the countries news, hello and richard gilbert. And youre at the listening post where we dont cover the news because of the way the news is covered. Or you can add new share to the growing list of african countries to see their government fall in a military coup from coast to coast. A whole sway of sub saharan states is now run by military. Clintons new share has been a key western ally, a Strategic Partner and supplier of important minerals, but citizens, they are, have soured on the us and the french troops based on their soil thing. They have failed to improve security. Watching all of this on folds and pulling some of the strings is russia. The kremlin is looking to up its influence in the region and has infiltrated the African Media space with pro kremlin content on television, radio and online president Vladimir Putin season opening. He has offered to ally russia with african nations fed up with western neo colonialism. But would russia be any less exploitative than africas old, colonial masters . Probably a military takeover in the shape straight out of the q data playbook made and uniform common during the state owned tv channel announcing a changing of the guard decisions. The default of this story is local. The context reach, new share is just the latest, the Central African country on a growing list, including molly burkina, faso, and chat to over throw a government that was seen as close to the west. Countries in a part of africa known as this a how that are now the targets of a Charm Offensive coming from the east. Russia. The current is that is particularly significant because it removes the west central ally in the region for the us and the french have a face to fight insurgents and funds for lies on nuclear. Anything for about 3 quotes. So hes entity mix and a lot of it to rain comes from the shaft. So its significant in that respect the good as base in northern use at where the us drone base is located is a, is a huge face. And so with washington would be particularly worried about this for firms as well. It is the last funding ally, if we exclude childs and probably what was on to mind. The 14 at the time was thats without too much effort. Another society and country had folded up for washington. So its washington and paris were very surprised if president mohammed but do, does not return to power, then they have lost the main allies in the region. And it reinforces brewton in his position as big brother, the godfather on c imperative in africa, i need the wholesale, thats if the real success of Vladimir Putin and the criminal propaganda in no local psychological. Russia has exploited a rise in anti western sentiment in this a hell link in part to worsening securities in the us and france so flooded the ship with hundreds of millions of dollars in military equipment to contain jihadist military. America operates one of its biggest drone basis there. Yet that you had us to tax continue, and citizens have concluded with some help from russia that the americans and the french have failed to protect. Russias propaganda is multifaceted, ranging from some familiar Mainstream Media outlets that have partnered with african channels to some online elements, film output, and even cartoons. You have get any provision involved in the mercenary force. But most of the world came to know, after russia invaded ukraine, actually made their name in africa a long before that. And wagner is working alongside rushing main stream Media Outlets peddling an anti colonial narrative in this a how ot and splitting it cover number of agreements with full cost is across africa. Across examples is a relationship to have with the full cost, the income of a leather seat ac, letting use the search you on your tape to local kids. And then before these on the found, those was the fact is it 3 provide content and they can spread a russian, central q african using Current Affairs by providing and briefly made story. Sputnik connectors at the fact to watch service. Our Team Provides videos that there is an online tool kit as well. So we push out books, they have troll fund fee to books of weapons through which they can exert influence and theyve been intentional about upfront and just outside of our 10. 00 spot clinic is what goes is media as being able to do because there was a movie thats the fucking our group, essentially paid for in defense trial. Sorry for the call tories a boss, im going to attend missionaries who came to see of the precedents on the eve of on the election. So they have this all encompassing approach to and when theres already this and to west, then all particularly on to friends sentiment in so many of this country is defined fuck our growth there is this not so subtle unconnected the video which is extremely ridiculous. The russian soldiers coming down of a helicopter with the russian slides, but also, and wagner slides attached to their uniforms and the rescue of money and wood cabinet soldiers, which are by police, an army of zombies, skeletons that have french flags on to them. And this j and said that is a way for the russians to say that france is in the region solis, week and old, and the, the, the russian soldiers that are housing, their money and, and working on the counter parts as problems as they are, equals and does battle against friends news events sometimes have a way of coincide. And as the crew was on folding in the new syrian capital in the im a lot of them are pollutant happened to be moving African Leaders in st. Petersburg, executed one that some young man that issue with, with your billing address. The russian president and his officials told that both restaurant and africa are under threats from the west. That its time for alliances to shift that they should Work Together as they sometimes did during the cold. You have any promotion was being barely a month after his forces were threatening to march on last. He was seen talking with the ceo of the pro kremlin 10 african tv channels based in cameras, africa, media precautions, presence in saint petersburg, provided a peek under the hood of the criminal, how it conducts its business, not from the presence of percussion on the sidelines, the shariska summit shows that ultimately power is not concentrated just in the kremlin. It tells us that russia has a very sophisticated system where there were various tentacles. There are different ways in which russian was trying to exec influence, and they all 5 services that come across the board from so called training to also cover operations around propaganda. The russians will say that, you know, were onto quoted right now. Were, were, were different from the west and thats been the message theyve been trying to push. But if you actually look in detail, what people are like for goes is a company is links or am i doing on the confidence . Its essentially the same. They provide protection on in a country like Central Africa, and probably, i mean, exchange they get to my precious and mentors provide in up to 1000000000 in revenue for all of the rhetoric about russia are trying to be different spacing is actually does that so much difference in the approach to the west and falls like friends whos president emmanuel mac thrown has said he would take immediate depend on compromising action if any of its citizens or interest in the ship warehouse. The interest for the interesting new share exports. Thousands of metric tons of uranium to the french every year, which goes into the nuclear plants, the power, most of frances electrical grid, new shares, new leaders have now suspended those exports. France, which still has 1500 troops in the country, has suspended Financial Aid to new share while demanding a return to constitutional order. Democratic rule. Thats not going to fly with new sherry, and they have seen african dictators, backed by french governments, including emanuel microns. If its remote or we can see a difference with what happened and tried, for example, a general seized power unconstitutionally and front reacted by legitimizing about takeover. But something that has remained in the memories of new jerry to say front, validated a crew and shot. But to go on hard on. So this double standard, it is quite disastrous for the image front today for 40 minutes around which explains why this jerry hands have been protesting outside the French Embassy in the may was singing the praises of vladimir. Despite the fact, perhaps because of the fact that there was almost no history between russia and initiate a lack of cult, the whole history can be helped but necessary and should be careful of what they wished and which way, therefore, restricted to china. Now where the government is encouraging its citizens on social media to report foreign spies and their chinese collaborators to the authorities. Joanna whos is here with me. Richard this past week telling us ministry of state security, which is in charge of intelligence and counter intelligence, joins we chat, chinas primary, kentucky controlled social media platform. The ministry is extremely secretive. It doesnt even have a proper website. But on tuesday, it, when public with its very 1st we check post titled countering espionage requires the mobilization of old members of society. The ministry called an old Chinese People to join to fight against espionage, promising to reward them for identifying for in spies and their chinese associates. The state run news channels. Cctv did it sparts by offering citizens some tips on how to spot spies and what to do once they find them. Send you a quote on conference should meet. Should your account for yall . Excusing the o. E. You said to india, hold on cartridge you over to you, cause you end up to a poor, dont you dont, you doesnt finance inducing, but youve got some up on the cool. The government hold the line. Apparently. Beijing and its official. Spokespersons have been pushing and narrative, the china is facing a growing threat from foreign agents that has resulted in new National Security legislation of vague counter espionage load that came into effect last month. Which broadens the definition of what could be considered spying. Critics argue that the ambiguities and the wording of the law can put Foreign Companies and individuals at risk for conducting routine business in china. And whats the word is now recruiting ordinary chinese to find the alleged buys citizens who are trained to split the difference between work and espionage. But the injured seems pretty real.
