A century as part of its ambitious Lunar Program for the coming years. And r t visits a key iranian transport hub, considering gateway to huge opportunities for trade between the most densely populated world market, the good morning from the russian capital. This is our to international with the latest and world news today. Im here, elizabeth, welcome to the program. And we begin with our top story. This our, the west african block of echo was, has given the order to activate and deployed it, stand by forces to deal with the unfolding situation. And you share the statement comes as a summit of its leaders, wrapped up in the new sherry and capital this thursday, 2 weeks after the 2 in the me. I started becoming a bit chief of defense stuff to activate the equity done by force with all its elements immediately order the deployment of the equity stand by force to restore Constitutional Order in the republic of news. Yet lets go live now to local journalist timothy o be 0 in nigeria right now. Have need years military forces. Timothy reacted to the decision by echo was to activate, its stand by military forces of the moments. None that we know about. But were expecting that there might be a reaction from demetrius on to today. The meetings in conclude that here, you know, food jack, late from 1st day and you know so far weve been straightened reactions. Youve been on social media, you know, from nigeria and then all that after cancer, you know, basically criticized and you know, the positions that class has decided to take on this issue. But im not much just heard from the military so far will will be expecting to see that maybe in the next couple of hours. Well, what does this move by echo. Wass mean in practice is this another major step towards a military intervention. Basically what eckworth leaders are saying was that it was, it was kind of wrong for them not to have taken a very Firm Position when that was a cool in my lead when there was a cool embark in a process. So thats why, you know, they are deciding to be very firm this time around. In fact, some analysts that ive spoken to save that, you know, if to make sure is left and you know, on checks, you know, or if that clause does not take a really for a position here. It could be, you know, a boost already hit that position, airports decides to take right now. Could either in voting, you know, coop louder is around the region or not. So im down backwards. Leaders themselves after the meeting spoke to john lease here in that bu just saying that, you know, it is in part time out there for us makes sense. A very strengthened season and military stand by a military force would include, you know, that the military, you know, police or even, you know, some civil and civilian accomplishments of that force. So were expecting that we, its our fire when the, the invasion or the, the operation with take place because some pete was like, part of the announcement made, but were expecting to see, you know, uh uh, are the appraiser, you know, take place maybe in the coming days or the coming weeks or even months, nobody knows for now. Well, news your has accused friends of violating its air space. So what is the mood on the ground in the year right now . The mood on the ground in the sir is that of pharmacists are the guards, the thought of support with the coup largest. And its not the slots something that weve seen happen only in the share across the continental. You know, yesterday i was on tweet r idle list, say to, you know, some people who didnt see the spaces on this issue and we had people from the sure people from nigeria and across, you know, africa attended by then. One thing about student was that most of these people are straight and that you know, of course, should not, you know, in phase means that the, our previous sizing that was the sign that friends itself. You dont hesitate and on, on these issues and saying that you knew sherry and said that they wanted the left field. And that should be, that is because these are that many people are thinking, you know, theres a growing or i try afraid sentiments in these are right now and thought, but that has not changed. Timothy will be zoo, a local journalist and nigeria. Thank you timothy. New jerry and constitutional expert mean a carts a says the possible echo was intervention rich triggering a crisis for the country and the wider african continent is on the fields or intervention will lead to real chaos and pro catastrophe. We feel that echo us is under pressure now because the entries from the african peoples, the people who represent echo us are not in work but in development. But the military intervention of around 50000 people risk causing the kind of cases that we have already seen in libya, a real war and complete these order in west africa, which will seriously injured development. The armies of molly and boot can have passed so will not act as a mere observer. They made as clear that any intervention against major would be considered an intervention against these 2 countries. Other applicants also hinted about their readiness to come to the 8th of needs, or if echo was sense, its soldiers echo us risks triggering the crisis and losing control. And there are fuse the out of the Foreign Forces in particular france and the United States will take over then need your input to clear and this a how the region as a whole will calendar fire, which will damage of the development of africa. The whole continent is hostile to potential military intervention against the pores, people in the world major. We see this intervention as an attempt to solve chaos. Make this a home governing both and create the conditions for the exploitation of the regions. Vast natural resources, in particular uranium, which is very important for the French Economy and energy, as well as boil and many of the minerals that have not been yet discovered, which, which we believe are available in these parts of africa. And which may be important in the future. A brief recap of the rapidly evolving events in here, 2 weeks ago a to saw the military depose, the countries leader, stating it was descending into chaos under president bassoon. Hes been replaced by the commander of the president ial guards unit general shawnee with a new prime minister, also appointed since the uprising the nation has been hit with a slew of harsh measures from European Countries of the us and some of its neighbors. But now former heads of state have appealed to echo, was to lift the restrictions that could have catastrophic consequences for the new gerry and people we heard from locals. Who said the country is striving for independence. Is the situation forces us to be energy a ton of a lot of them do. I want to move towards energy, told them like the struggle can liberated us and we have an army that is well trained with a well grounded and display and go to the president. We the people of major are not leaving in echo, asking for the west African Economic and monetary union. We are ready to assume all responsibilities are ready to suffer the consequences of what was happening. Companies that we have to adopt as we are an independent people see and we have somebody i tend to try to independent. Somebody says the moment, so make sacrifice even if it affects our lives, to adopt to the situation. Funds benefit from the g. If we refer to the phone books that are 5 and then from say, the approaches with uranium from niger, i dont think we have the supports without primarily countries such as molly, look into 5. So if youre, you know, so russia, what supports us this setup fee on see if i need you by david cannot say that the sanctions do not affect the licensing insurance, but your coverage specialist in small the right in the fall. So and genie ill leave it to limit the weights our people. Yeah. Meanwhile, france has express full support for the west african blocks decisions on the new year issue. Us secretary of state anthony, blinking voice support for the efforts of echo was saying, washington will hold the military responsible for the safety of the detained government officials. We echoed the echo us condemnation of the illegal detention of president mohammed presume. His family and members of the government as well as the unacceptable conditions under which they are being held and call for their immediate release. Like aca was the United States will hold the council for the safe guard of the homeland accountable for the safety and security of president bassoon, his family, and detained members of the government. Deplorable conditions and arbitrary detention. The west seems very concerned about these arrows to post the president mohammed bassoon, who was taken into custody by his very own president ial guard. The un secretary general is very concerned over the deplorable Living Conditions that new jerry and president presume and his family are reported to be living under as they continue to be arbitrarily detained by members of the president ial guard in these year. The secretary general reiterates is concerned over the health and safety of the president in his family and once again calls for his immediate unconditional release. And his reinstatement is head of state with respect to present mission. But soon we are greatly worried about his health and his personal safety and the personal safety of his family makes you wonder how bad those conditions really are though considering pursuing was able to ask the west for help. Despite all this alleged abuse. Nevertheless, the west crocodile tears continued to flow as do their sanctions on the people of new share. The European Union is working on its 1st package of sanctions as we speak, while the eco last block of western backed african nations was quick to launch its own. All with a rubber stamp from brussels. The risk is that we start running out of assistance materials to be able to help out people. Im talking about simple things that are so live saving. Some people will soon be feeling the pinch of this more than the 4300000 people we had planned on supporting through emergency humanitarian assistance. We might see that number growing and growing fast. Were only seeing the tip of the sanctions iceberg. And yet the new jerry and people are all right, the ceiling, the consequences. Millions are dealing with black outs for hours at a time while the threats of Foreign Military intervention and terrorist attacks hang over the country. Like a dark cloud on top of that, the flow of humanitarian aid into these areas. Under serious threats, as the new military administration was forced to close the countries borders in preparation for a, for an attack, youd be in union reach rates. Its very clear calls for the full restoration without the late of the Constitutional Order and fully associates itself, with the declarations of echoes and its african and international partners. In this regard incarnation with the presence of the european council, i will continue this weekend. The many contacts already underway in order to achieve this result. We stand ready to support echo us upcoming decisions, including the adoption of sanctions, sanctions, and threats of an invasion a playbook the west has used so many times. You think by now western leaders would know that its not governments, but ordinary people that suffer the most under these policies. But maybe they do know that. And this was the plan all along. The developments and these here could shake up the balance of power on the continent and beyond the political situation in the country. Also having an impact on the influence of western powers in the region to get all the latest on the situation in easier and more. To be sure to check out our website r t dot com. Ill be here face of the sanctions due to its political situation. Another african country is being pressured over its domestic laws. Youve gone in. Officials have lashed out at the world bank for refusing to continue lending money to the country unless it changes its strict new homosexuality. Laws to stop this hypocrisy. The law was punished by uga and his parliament. These are representatives of the people thats democracy. It is therefore unfortunate that the world bank and other actors, they are to want to earn us into bands and in our face, culture, principles, and silver and t using money. They really underestimate all africans. Ugandas anti l g b t. Laws are widely considered to be some of the harshest in the world. Same sex relations can be punished by life imprisonment while the Death Penalty can be imposed for aggravated homosexuality. The World Bank Funding freeze is not the only concept plans youve gone to faces over its new anti gay lot earlier the us and post travel restrictions on you gone and officials with us president joe bite and threatening aid and investment cuts and made other sanctions multiple western countries and you and experts have also condemned the law. Earlier we spoke to you gone in president ial Spokes Person who said that western countries and the World Bank Must respect you, gone to socrates and the will of you guns and people. The i think its like the president said he issued out the statement i yesterday, where he chose very categories, really clear that we shall not be cost by anybody or any of those where they use the word bunk because its very unfortunate. Really, we are fortunate. Thats the one to cause us to actually abundant healthy. You know, our codes yellow principles. You know, i was referring to because of my me and i think its very unfortunately the book has done and i liked the best and said that they should really, really not under estimate us because of what theyve done. Were solving country. Were solving nation. We. We, we decided as a nation, we went to parliament, this law was passed, we went through each, we scrutinized it, and it is the week of the people. And i think that is very key. The will of the people once youve gotten that i dont understand why all of a sudden the word but wakes up and says, you know what guys meant to be cut off loans. So any supports for youve done that because of that. But i mean, the tips is ludicrous to do even come up with a Statement Like this to be, you know, so it, we, we have bustled to but thats what it is. We will move on without them. And if they choose to, to actually change the position, but it will come, but we will not, and i repeat, we will not change because because of my, me know that they will not do the, as the pressure is from the bunk. And as a wisdom, countries like the United States, perhaps as put the pressure on the bunk to the extent that you have, they have caved in into into that which is which is, which is really to be honest with you. Because if you think about different logically, so you use your stopped, youd say, because of i know that youve done the past. You should stop the giving them support. And yet the children, perhaps who would have benefited from that. They do that, the money that youre giving for that support youre giving, but youve chosen to do that because youre going to enough to know. I mean its, its, its crazy. Definitely waiting to receive a lot of support from for my office and brothers. And everybody of goodwill who actually respects the so for any deals youve done that. Um who is a dentist for lack of a bit better . What a neil calling is you asked to meet. Um, yes we, we continued yourself to get a lot of support from, from, from, from like i said, countries of goodwill. And we will continue to be very from and very it was done. We will not depend, i can assure you. Ok, whos not been simply because of that . No, we will not rush ahead to the moon for the 1st time in nearly half a century with an unmanned exploration vehicle known as luna. 25 to search for water on the moon, south pole, which could later be used for studies of outer space and remote planets. Or correspondence shaped bows, witnessed the historic lodge, and that was thought unique. Cosmo jerome, in russias far east. Its a historic moment to your inverse starchy 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 and trepidations for the launch to begin of this vast. So used to rock it behind me. This machine weighs over 300 tons fully fueled as it is now. And its carrying a payload of about 615. 00 key to problems with the lander. 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 a, as it actually takes up behind us a re level look. Now this magnificent machine power your towards the cost us so are, are documented to machine routes into space again, as many, many hopes and dreams, the 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 head of rushes, Lunar Program project told us more about the lunar 25 landor and its historic mission. It is that what youre using to do . My name is carrillo cvc. I need the luna program project. Lets talk about the design. All of the luna 25 spacecraft. The spacecraft consists of 3 main components. The instrument capture, the Motor Assembly and the landing assembly. What differs this spacecraft from other emissions is of course its weight is designated landing area is supposed to land around the southern pole of the moon. Previously, all luminous stations wouldnt go that they would fly in land around the equator with an open freight and design. How is the spacecraft control . Its an automatic mission. The pre Program Flight plan is installed on the on board computer the on board computer. That price is old with data on the orientation for the space across the spacecraft to Time Insights altitude through stellas census. So to census and a specifically develops joining via skype on top of the instrument capsule, there is a multi directional antenna to receive and transmit data from the us and back. The instrumental capsule itself contains the power system, the solar panels mounted outside the battery pack. And since the instruments are required by designed to work in the luna night conditions, there was special thermal units that use Nuclear Energy principles. Those that activates it only at nights and provide the heating required for profit
