[00:00:10] of
[00:00:12] of
[00:00:23] Russia's investigative committee unpacks the results of its
[00:00:27] probe into Kiev's attempted invasion
[00:00:29] of the... border region launched exactly two years
[00:00:34] me
[00:00:34] of ago, also
[00:00:35] a ahead on the program, thousands of migrants, including many children remain in
[00:00:38] suita following last week's mass influx into spain. we
[00:00:42] examine the political fallout as the EU demands, Morocco
[00:00:46] police, the very frontier, it contests
[00:00:48] and the devastating consequences
[00:00:52] unleashed by the atomic age is remembered as
[00:00:56] of Harashima
[00:00:57] of marks the day the US dropped the bomb. The Japanese cities
[00:01:01] mayor, however, once again glosses over America's
[00:01:04] of deadly
[00:01:05] in of actions. of
[00:01:09] of me
[00:01:23] people have been
[00:01:24] of reported of wounded in a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's
[00:01:28] Yaris slavel region. Our defenses are said to have
[00:01:31] destroyed close to 100
[00:01:33] of UAVs
[00:01:34] of there of in what the local governor called the largest drone onslaught to
[00:01:38] have hit the area. Storage tanks at
[00:01:40] a refinery were impacted by falling debris with emergency
[00:01:44] services working to put out the resulting
[00:01:46] blaze. Well, Moscow is
[00:01:50] continuing its probe into quote war crimes committed by the
[00:01:54] Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries during Kiev's incursion
[00:01:58] into Russia's Kursk region. which began exactly two years
[00:02:02] ago and ended some months later. 640
[00:02:05] people were killed with many more wounded and displaced,
[00:02:09] including civilians forcibly taken as prisoners of war.
[00:02:13] RTS Roman Coster recalls the events of
[00:02:16] 2024. Well, the Russian investigative committee
[00:02:19] have once again indicated that no crime
[00:02:23] of committed by the Kiv regime will be forgotten or go
[00:02:26] unpunished. Now the harshest sentences wait all
[00:02:30] of
[00:02:31] in those that committed terrorist acts against civilians and some
[00:02:35] of the verdicts have already been announced. now the map of
[00:02:38] atrocities committed by Ukrainian militas,
[00:02:41] of militants and foreign mercenaries is very vast, but one
[00:02:45] Russian region stands out among the rest. exactly two
[00:02:49] years ago on this day, the Kiv regime invaded Russia in the
[00:02:53] Koursk region and occupied several dozen
[00:02:56] settlements. now acting with the feeling of complete...
[00:03:00] unity against civilians who could not put up a fight against
[00:03:03] armed
[00:03:04] of goons, they committed massive,
[00:03:06] of especially serious
[00:03:08] of crimes. now those included mass murders, rape and
[00:03:12] other acts of sexual nature,
[00:03:15] of looting and kidnapping of civilians. one ukrainian militant by the
[00:03:19] name of Yevgini Fabrisenka along with
[00:03:23] accomplices killed 14 civilians in the village of
[00:03:26] Rusko. now investigators said that they...
[00:03:30] uh also raped eight women and later executed
[00:03:34] them. now those involved received life sentences while other
[00:03:38] Ukrainian soldiers who stole goods worth several million
[00:03:41] rubles from local store were also sentenced to long
[00:03:45] prison terms. now 640
[00:03:51] a of civilians were killed, 561 were wounded
[00:03:52] of by Ukrainian militants in the course region alone. now when
[00:03:56] Russia began liberating uh the region,
[00:03:58] in investigators in made
[00:04:06] of a a of
[00:04:21] of
[00:04:30] нам дрон а как раз
[00:04:33] of сработал, а рэп сработал на моей
[00:04:37] машине, рядом с нами прямо метров в семи, наверное, взорвался,
[00:04:41] милость божия, вырвались, вырвались, вот привезли,
[00:04:44] ребят, вот выгружают, сейчас
[00:04:48] вот
[00:04:49] of в автобусы уже дальше, вот с
[00:04:53] трудом вырвались, прямо слава богу, гнилось боже, есть и
[00:04:57] раненые у нас изгражданских.
[00:05:01] of женщины ранены, слава это
[00:05:03] рески, богу, ну
[00:05:04] всё как она, как доехали,
[00:05:07] нормально, нормально,
[00:05:11] russian
[00:05:12] of investigative. committee have launched 711 criminal
[00:05:15] cases in Koursk region and 706 of
[00:05:19] those are related to terrorism. now right after the
[00:05:22] invasion, the so-called soldiers the key regime immediately
[00:05:26] began restricting the free movement of civilians and
[00:05:30] committed heinous crimes against peaceful residents using
[00:05:33] weapons and explosive devices. now many locals are still
[00:05:37] unaccounted for as Russia's commissioner for human rights, Yana
[00:05:41] Lantratova reported the absence of data on at least
[00:05:45] 302 residents the korsk border region. now the
[00:05:49] local governor, alexander hinstein says that only
[00:05:52] 171 residents have been returned by
[00:05:56] Ukraine to Korsk, now the rest are simply
[00:05:59] missing and their fate is completely unknown, which
[00:06:03] makes the entire situation even more difficult and tragic. now
[00:06:07] investigation into the crimes the Kiev regime in Corsk region
[00:06:10] continues as a... criminal experts have
[00:06:14] examined 186 settlements in the
[00:06:17] area, according to their results, the damage caused by the
[00:06:21] actions the Kiev regime armed groups have already been
[00:06:25] estimated at over $6 billion
[00:06:27] dollars. now not all governors come
[00:06:31] from administrative background, some actually serve on
[00:06:35] the very front lines, roman is talking about Belgrad's
[00:06:39] acting regional head was major general before kicking office
[00:06:43] and he in fact earned the title hero the Russian federation for his
[00:06:47] actions in the conflict. Here is Alexander Shivayev as he sat
[00:06:51] down with RT following two very busy months in
[00:06:53] office.
[00:06:58] The first point is our collaboration with the ministry of defense. Just
[00:07:02] last week I met with the deputy defense minister regarding security measures
[00:07:05] and
[00:07:06] the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, specifically FPV
[00:07:10] interceptors. The main flow of. enemy drones passes through our
[00:07:14] region, accounting for nearly 90% of all incidents. We are
[00:07:17] exploring various development options, security concerns lead to other
[00:07:21] important issues such as economic development. I consulted with
[00:07:25] economic development minister Maxim Rushetnikov to discuss the free economic
[00:07:29] zone and
[00:07:29] the development of industrial parks. Everything has been agreed upon and
[00:07:33] is now awaiting approval from the government the Russian Federation.
[00:07:37] Currently we have 179 programs in place for participants
[00:07:41] and we want to expand. Further, infrastructure development is also
[00:07:45] essential and we are addressing all these issues. For me, key
[00:07:48] concern is housing and utilities, because there have been no changes to
[00:07:52] water supply or drainage systems for many years, resulting in up
[00:07:56] to 95% wear and tear. Therefore, it is a priority to
[00:08:00] make these changes. Yes, it's challenging, but we are developing
[00:08:04] master plan. Now, in the
[00:08:08] aftermath of last week's border chaos in Souta, most
[00:08:12] migrant. have now returned to Morocco, however, between two and
[00:08:16] 500 them still remain in the Spanish city, according to local
[00:08:19] reports. hundreds them are children, many living without their
[00:08:23] parents in difficult, all be at dire
[00:08:26] conditions in some areas. suita authorities have
[00:08:30] requested assistance from Madrid citing a high risk of public
[00:08:33] order and safety. here's what some of those young migrants had to
[00:08:37] say about their current
[00:08:39] situation.
[00:08:43] I've been in suda for seven days now, I spent three of those days sleeping in
[00:08:47] the forest without food or water. We barely had enough food to
[00:08:50] survive. It's been seven days since we've been in the
[00:08:54] forest, me, my mom and my brother. I hope to become a police
[00:08:58] officer in the future, and to be able to go to Spain so that we can be
[00:09:01] reunited with my dad, along with mom and my
[00:09:04] brother. God willing will be okay, they give
[00:09:08] us only one meal a day and look what's in it, milk and small cookies and we're...
[00:09:12] surviving on just that, you always see infants with their mothers, so we're forced to give them
[00:09:16] our share of milk, because it won't make difference for us, but it makes a big difference for
[00:09:19] them. you'll find a woman with a small child who has nothing to feed him, there
[00:09:23] aren't even diapers, they haven't provided us with anything, it's as if all these
[00:09:27] people don't even exist. while Brussel's
[00:09:31] claims the crisis was resolved quickly and that conclusions
[00:09:35] were drawn about stronger border protection, questions over
[00:09:39] who should be responsible for policing the frontier remain? "the
[00:09:43] EU wants to shift responsibility to Morocco, but the fact
[00:09:47] that Rabat considers Suta as its own sovereign
[00:09:50] territory complicates matters. We
[00:09:54] all want to have good relations, but if Morocco does not want this,
[00:09:58] then we will have to ask it to at least show respect. We cannot ask it to change
[00:10:01] its policy, not even its foreign policy. Its approaches are
[00:10:05] legitimate, but we can ask it to respect Spain's territorial integrity
[00:10:09] and the security of our borders. We must make this..." and with the support
[00:10:13] the rest of Europe. People see this not as a migration crisis. It was
[00:10:17] fundamentally attack, violation of Spain's territorial
[00:10:20] integrity. People felt that this, if not orchestrated, was at least
[00:10:24] encouraged or... permitted by
[00:10:31] and long-time political advisor, Dr. Samir Bennis, who's also co-founder
[00:10:35] the Morocco World News site. We appreciate your
[00:10:38] time, sir. Over 70,000
[00:10:42] migrants managed to make their way into Suita
[00:10:46] from Morocco, unprecedented
[00:10:49] numbers. Could that have been possible without at the
[00:10:52] very least tasset approval from about in your
[00:10:55] view? well, let tell
[00:10:59] tell you that lot of
[00:11:03] nonsense and idioties have been spread about what
[00:11:06] happened last week and they have been astonished by the low
[00:11:10] level of analysis that have been provided by many
[00:11:13] so-called analysts whether in spain or
[00:11:16] elsewhere whose main common denominator
[00:11:20] is sheer ignorance
[00:11:22] the the police.
[00:11:25] geopolitical and historical context the the
[00:11:29] the region and what happened and what led to to
[00:11:33] crisis? now let tell you that
[00:11:36] temptation to take shortcuts and
[00:11:40] avoid to ask the embarrassing and hard
[00:11:43] questions is very high
[00:11:46] among European politicians or
[00:11:49] or even commentators, because what i have
[00:11:53] witnessed since last week. that there is
[00:11:56] temptation among politicians and analyke to
[00:12:00] to all to take shortcuts that only
[00:12:03] serve their nor self self
[00:12:06] selfish interest now if we if we if we get
[00:12:10] serious about about what's happened and we put things
[00:12:13] into their brother context and ask the right
[00:12:17] questions we would conclude that
[00:12:21] Morocco was not first was not was not responsible for what happened?
[00:12:25] nor did it stage a
[00:12:28] massive crossing to
[00:12:31] blackmail spain as many analysts in
[00:12:35] spain or as well have claimed without without providing
[00:12:38] any the slightest evidence that
[00:12:42] support the disclaim now the main question is who
[00:12:46] stand to befit for from this
[00:12:49] and what on on earth would put
[00:12:52] Morocco to stage such and precedent is crossing
[00:12:56] a time when relations between Morocco
[00:12:59] and and spain at are at all time
[00:13:03] high. this is the main question that that have been
[00:13:07] avoided because those who are who are analyzing the
[00:13:10] conflicts avoid us because because
[00:13:14] it constradicts their their preconceived
[00:13:18] ideas
[00:13:19] and
[00:13:23] about Morocco. but the the fact is
[00:13:26] still that that the Moroccan government still considers
[00:13:30] Suta Moroccan territory, that's despite Spain and
[00:13:33] earlier Portugal having ruled it for some six centuries,
[00:13:37] so is the political will there to ensure
[00:13:41] border security? well, when it
[00:13:45] comes to SET and Milia, for Morocco, there is
[00:13:48] this distinction between the
[00:13:52] territorial claims that Morocco... lays over
[00:13:56] south and mia and the bordern and management issue.
[00:14:00] Morocco has always made its doctrine
[00:14:03] since the early 1960s to
[00:14:07] set its claims over Sautanmia
[00:14:10] aside and push the focus on the question the western
[00:14:14] sahara for Morocco settling the dispute
[00:14:17] over western sahara has taken as always taken presence over
[00:14:21] anything over seuta and mia which from Morocco's
[00:14:25] perspective does not does do not have the same strategic
[00:14:29] importance as the as the sahar. now it comes to border
[00:14:33] management, morocco is bound with set of
[00:14:37] agreement with both Spain and the European Union and
[00:14:41] Morocco has always does did its best to
[00:14:44] discharge or its part the the bergain as
[00:14:47] effectively as possible. now the problem that happened last
[00:14:51] week is that there was a Spanish...
[00:14:55] court decision made out the blue
[00:14:59] which served as a catalyst for
[00:15:03] what happened, what happened is that is that that court
[00:15:07] decision attracted
[00:15:09] or uh
[00:15:12] caused the whole architecture of
[00:15:16] security cooperation between Morocco and spain to collapse,
[00:15:19] imagine that Morocco and spain
[00:15:21] have had put a whole architecture over the years and
[00:15:25] and the court judge comes and tells would be immigrants that
[00:15:29] if you come to to seuta by swimming you would not
[00:15:33] be uh deported immediately yeah that that was the main
[00:15:36] catalyst. that's caused uh
[00:15:40] thousands of of of would be immigrants
[00:15:43] with whether from Morocco or Algeria of Sub Saharan
[00:15:47] Africa to gather in area and to
[00:15:50] try the the cross into can you
[00:15:54] mention the western sahara if I can just dig into that with
[00:15:57] you the Spanish PM visited Algeria right
[00:16:01] before the border chaos with many suspecting he may
[00:16:05] back the polissario fronts. to that vast region
[00:16:08] a group alges
[00:16:11] supports, how much does the western Sahara
[00:16:15] have to do with what occurred in Sweden? it
[00:16:19] has absolutely nothing to do with with what happened, the the
[00:16:22] claim that Pedro sanchez visit to
[00:16:26] Algeria, my may have caused Morocco to to
[00:16:30] use the the migration card as a
[00:16:33] tool to blackmail to blackmail Spain as many uh... Spanish
[00:16:37] analysts have claimed to uh to
[00:16:41] force its hand is is is groundless,
[00:16:45] why? because first there is there is a written in
[00:16:49] commitment from Spain in from March
[00:16:51] 2022 that it supports Morocco's
[00:16:55] position that Moroccan autonomic plan for for the western sahara is
[00:16:59] only basis for the resolution the conflict
[00:17:02] and top of that now this this this this
[00:17:06] position has been in trigned in resolution
[00:17:09] 2797 the security council adopted
[00:17:12] last October which has settled settled the the
[00:17:16] legal debates around Kix forever so the claim that
[00:17:20] Morocco may have been displeased with with the Sanchez visit
[00:17:24] is does not stand serious scrutiny
[00:17:27] why? because Morocco knows that it doesn't have
[00:17:31] an exclusive marriage with Spain and that Spain is entitled to
[00:17:35] have its own u set of of
[00:17:39] strategic interest with with Algeria and it can
[00:17:43] defend them and from this
[00:17:46] perspective the to claim that Morocco has been
[00:17:50] displaced to with with the sunchez
[00:17:53] to to to the to the level of
[00:17:57] using migration as as a tool of of
[00:18:00] pressure is is absolutely outstanding
[00:18:08] that with us, we appreciate your time, sir, Dr. Samir Bennis,
[00:18:12] of Morocco World News.
[00:18:19] welcome, Russian presidential aid Nikolai
[00:18:23] Patruschev is in Brazil discussing Naval
[00:18:26] collaboration with its leader Lula de Silva. Both
[00:18:29] nations are seeking to expand international security
[00:18:33] cooperation and scientific programs,
[00:18:36] while in. Mr. Patruschev oversaw the opening
[00:18:40] of an exhibition dedicated to famed
[00:18:43] soviet fleet admiralf at the
[00:18:47] Brazilian Naval Museum. Local officials also underline
[00:18:51] the importance of Russo Brazil partnerships at sea. The
[00:18:55] Russian onvoy visited the city's navy arsenal as well, Rio's
[00:18:58] oldest Maritime
[00:19:00] base.
[00:19:05] Okay, some news. is just reaching us of
[00:19:09] a minibus explosion near the Syrian
[00:19:12] capital, two people have been reported
[00:19:16] killed and more than dozen
[00:19:19] wounded according to the uh
[00:19:23] local health ministry, the pictures you're
[00:19:27] seeing right now show severe images
[00:19:30] of destruction, an explosive device
[00:19:33] is said to have been planted a passenger van a southeast.
[00:19:37] suburb the nation's capital,
[00:19:41] forensic teams are at the site and nearby
[00:19:45] hospitals have been placed on high alert, no group has claim
[00:19:49] responsibility for the attack as well, we'll keep
[00:19:52] you updated with all the latest developments as they
[00:19:56] emerge.
[00:20:04] now as Japan's economy suffers
[00:20:07] Washington has stepped in for the first time in some three decades to
[00:20:11] rescue its long timeime ally by propping up the
[00:20:15] yen. Tokyo's currency has been historically weak due
[00:20:19] to significantly lower interest rates
[00:20:22] compared to other developed countries. In recent months the
[00:20:26] yen has been experiencing quotes excessive volatility,
[00:20:30] according to the Japanese finance minister and the US treasury have to step in and sell
[00:20:34] euro in exchange for yen. President Trump
[00:20:38] called the move good news for the
[00:20:41] global economy. Well, let's
[00:20:45] welcoming now, Richard Verner, author of
[00:20:48] princes the. in Japan Central Bankers and the transformation
[00:20:52] the economy, so no better guess to delve into this with.
[00:20:56] Why do you think, Mr. Trump, the US jumped
[00:21:00] in so fast, so rapidly to deal
[00:21:04] with this, to to prop up the yen?
[00:21:08] Well, it wasn't exactly fast, actually, because the yen has been
[00:21:12] extremely undervalued for several years
[00:21:15] now, and the US has enjoyed that situation
[00:21:18] where... vastel state
[00:21:21] countries currencies being cannibalized in order to prop
[00:21:25] up the dollar, exchange rates are
[00:21:29] binary traded things
[00:21:32] pairs, so if you want a strong dollar that is the same as to
[00:21:36] say you need to have other currencies, major currencies that
[00:21:40] are weak, and the yen serve that purpose, so
[00:21:43] the the bank of japan had been instructed by the federal reserve for quite a
[00:21:47] few years to to ensure that
[00:21:50] the the yen would stay weak, but we've reached a point
[00:21:54] where the political leaders in Japan, which which is
[00:21:58] separate from the central bank, the central bank is independent from the
[00:22:02] government and is dependent on the
[00:22:04] federal, you american
[00:22:07] influence there, but the the
[00:22:10] government, the political leaders have started to
[00:22:14] realize that what's happening is actually very
[00:22:16] detrimental to Japan, the economy, japanese
[00:22:20] people, so the government through the ministry of
[00:22:24] finance right to do the
[00:22:28] official currency intervention and really you
[00:22:32] know they launched that last year
[00:22:35] earlier this year um previous
[00:22:39] bs of weekend, but overall the year has has remained very very
[00:22:43] weak and and and so now why are they
[00:22:46] concerned about it, what's the biggest problem with that, I mean? the
[00:22:50] biggest problem is that it makes imports very
[00:22:53] expensive, japan is a high value added
[00:22:57] economy that can handle a dollar
[00:23:01] rate of 80, but it's actually
[00:23:04] you know until last week was 164 a
[00:23:07] 40-year um low on the Japanese yen and that
[00:23:11] is poison for highly competitive economy, you
[00:23:15] see this is how the German economy um came to be
[00:23:19] undermined. was the beginning the end when the very
[00:23:23] strong European currency called the Deutsche Mark, the demark
[00:23:27] was abolished against the majority
[00:23:30] opinion the people in Germany, there was no referendum, but poles had
[00:23:34] shown that two thirds were of course in favor of keeping the d-mark, but
[00:23:38] it was taken away, abolished and the foreign currency was introduced the euro,
[00:23:42] which by definition could only be weaker, so then for decades we've had
[00:23:46] essentially an undervalued German currency and that...
[00:23:50] being toxic, why? well, Germany needs to import
[00:23:54] raw materials, that became more expensive,
[00:23:57] whereas on the export side, it's good for high value added
[00:24:01] economy to have a strengthening currency, because that
[00:24:05] forces companies to constantly upgrade, get the latest technology and stay
[00:24:09] competitive, keeps keeps them on the edge, and that happened for
[00:24:13] decades, now likewise in Japan now, the this
[00:24:16] excessively weak yen is undermining Japanese competitiveness. for the same
[00:24:20] reason and and of course inflation um
[00:24:24] becomes a problem much easier this way as well so the government want to stop it
[00:24:28] and america on the political side trump trump
[00:24:31] decided yeah um you know that's our ally we're going to do
[00:24:34] it can i just can i just jump into that point about the allie
[00:24:38] if i can because similar picture emerged before
[00:24:42] i remember in argentina uh when
[00:24:46] javia was in charge there mr trump
[00:24:50] helped out uh few months before the election, does he see
[00:24:54] us similar type of ally in the Japanese prime
[00:24:58] minister and Japan as a whole in the region that it goes
[00:25:01] beyond helping the global economy as he describes it that
[00:25:05] this is political
[00:25:06] nature? um well
[00:25:10] I think it is um that's as far
[00:25:13] as President Trump is concerned, you see and of course he has influence
[00:25:17] over his appointed uh treasury secretary, so we
[00:25:21] have this dichotomy that there's the political leaders both in Japan and the
[00:25:25] US, but then we have the actual decision makers, the central bankers
[00:25:29] and they're not necessarily on the same page, you
[00:25:33] see, so the politicians agree that this is gone too far and
[00:25:37] of course, the secretary the
[00:25:39] of treasury bessen is particularly concerned about
[00:25:43] the government, the ministry of finance, japan does lot of fx intervention in order
[00:25:47] to strengthen the yen selling dollars, that means it's
[00:25:51] selling it's US treasury holdings, it's the
[00:25:55] biggest hold of us treasury, so they don't want that, and of course
[00:25:58] also bessent instructed the fed.
[00:26:02] to um essentially give a credit line to Japan so they don't have
[00:26:06] to sell the treasuries, the just borrow dollars which
[00:26:10] creates dollars newly
[00:26:14] um in order to do any intervention
[00:26:17] um and of course that gives you that's that's not something
[00:26:20] that the fed is really quite happy about and therefore the
[00:26:24] fed is likely to agree now okay we've reached this point where
[00:26:27] um we can we have to um let the yen
[00:26:31] strengthen now Okay, what what's going to happen if we don't have all this government intervention? what's actually
[00:26:35] the fundamental situation in the economy? as report in my
[00:26:39] substac, our werena.substag.com. um,
[00:26:43] you see, the yen is going to rise because interest
[00:26:47] rates have been artificially kept low by the bank of japan,
[00:26:50] but they they follow the economy, they follow
[00:26:54] economic growth, and economic growth is going to bounce back, credit growth is
[00:26:58] almost 6%, so soon or later this is going to happen anyway, interest
[00:27:01] rates have. to jump in Japan and so it's now the politicians
[00:27:05] trying to to massage it a way that is
[00:27:09] most uh you
[00:27:14] just simply because of time and I'm sure the war in Iran also
[00:27:18] had a had issue if we had more time I wanted to delv into that with you thank you
[00:27:22] so much economist and author Richard Verer delving into that aspect
[00:27:26] the weekening Japanese yen thank you
[00:27:29] thanks. now the world is
[00:27:33] reflecting today on the dawn the atomic age and it's at times
[00:27:37] devastating impact, none more so than the US bombing of Japan
[00:27:40] exactly 81 years ago. harashma was first hit on August
[00:27:44] 6th, then Nagasaki three days later. the
[00:27:48] Russian man marked the seismic event its peace memorial park. at
[00:27:52] 8:15 a.m. local time, the moment the anola gay dropped
[00:27:56] its catastrophic payload, the city fell
[00:27:59] silent to honor the victims. a Russian... population hovered around
[00:28:03] 35000 people in August 1945 and record
[00:28:07] suggests that around half that figure lost their lives due to
[00:28:11] the blast. aside from those
[00:28:13] who purshed in the initial detonation, many died from radiation exposure with others
[00:28:17] affected decades later. despite the atrocity, city officials again side
[00:28:21] stepped who actually unleashed the abom. we heard from one local whose mother was
[00:28:25] pregnant when disaster struck.
[00:28:29] after all, i have cancer, that is why the fear of radiation.
[00:28:32] exposure persists, no matter how many years go by, i am
[00:28:36] 81 years old now, 81, no matter how much time
[00:28:40] passes, nuclear weapons remain terrifying things, it destroys the
[00:28:44] soul completely, the soul itself, that is why nuclear weapons
[00:28:48] must absolutely never be built or
[00:28:50] used, well the day also saw what are
[00:28:53] annual demonstrations now against nuclear weapons and war, this year
[00:28:57] protesters focused on the prime minister's remilitarization plans for
[00:29:00] japan, senai to his government has eased restrictions on
[00:29:04] lethal weapon exports, increase military spending and push to revise
[00:29:08] article 9 the constitution. that would pave the way for Tokyo to establish
[00:29:12] an official army and participate in armed conflicts. here's some
[00:29:15] reaction we heard in Hiroshima ahead the morning
[00:29:19] ceremony. a massive military
[00:29:22] expansion budget is the clearest evidence of headl rush toward
[00:29:26] war and prime minister Takaiichi is the very person who pushed it
[00:29:30] forward all at once and with smile.
[00:29:34] You cannot eliminate war from the world by using nuclear weapons as a
[00:29:38] threat. I sincerely hope that solutions will be achieved through
[00:29:41] dialogue. That
[00:29:43] I believe is the role of Hiroshima and of Japan with its
[00:29:46] article 9 constitution. Spending
[00:29:50] 40 trillion yen on military expenses, prioritizing the military over the lives
[00:29:54] the people is something I simply cannot forgive. I believe Miss
[00:29:58] Takaici should step down from her
[00:30:41] I am Pierro Rumumba here at the Manzoni
[00:30:44] wildlife estate in Machacos County in the Republic of
[00:30:48] Kenya here in the continent of Africa and as
[00:30:52] we continue our discussion today we focus on an
[00:30:56] individual whose ideas
