countries for refusing to share vaccine peyton's leaving them alone to fight the pandemic, the nation's court universal access to vaccine. so i think a failure to cooperate on an international level that was health organization on the united nations of also join the clinton nation against the west, monopolizing of the vaccine we had from health care experts from india and south africa and say the failure to unite in the face of the cobit pandemic, has greatly weakened the global south. it's the ambition of every country and every continent i believe, to acquire independence, how sovereignty, if you want to call it that, and my shirt, the whole security. so the lessons we learned very clearly from covet, particularly on the african continent in south africa and the other african countries is very much a cannot depend on others to supply you. critical medicines, vaccines at the beginning of color that say, you know, january, february,

march of 2020, everyone said we must stand to getting solidarity women's work together and we must help each other out. and no one is safe until we are all safe. i care the sad reality is there not i need, i was at the waist. it will, it wasn't supplying vaccines. time use lead to africa. vaccination word was quite a well distributed most of the western world. it was developed that vaccination did population to the tune of 60 to 90 percent. when was the free car and under the board were routing, you were to vaccine, you don't want to play, but some of the population. because of this mass mismatch, it was a large chunk of the human being who could not be exceeded. that was one of the reasons that the virus ad probably will population with being friction with the virus more to play. the more of those ones multiplying more radians with coming

into being and decorated in this pandemic plan. to more of the latest news that they found on our website, r t dot com. and we'll be back here with the latest news update in 30 minutes. ah, i look forward to talking to you all. technology should work for people, a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, accept where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to place trust or rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with

a robot must protect its own existence with with i feel like colon and i meant to talk to so that figure, we have to understand, you know, the colonial mentality was that while we were in control, we've got guns. we can say what we want. i mean, it's the same as rape. if you ask me, because taking them to someone, someone would you me to get away and then making sure that you did receive in the music industry, the shipment minerals and you've taken advantage of what we did not know, but eventually we're going to reconvene whatever is out there used at the tendon african people, the disposition of their land and the 5th of the wealth of african people. the

logic to it was that we were less than human beings and bring them back. artifacts . gold, gold, diamonds, phyllis goes on. colonialism, a word that evokes misery and anger amongst africans. decades later, western countries still set with valuable, stolen from african soil, some work millions, others, priceless, say strong values, defined to the neutral traces home continues. one, come to africa. now i'm point clear. last week we will in kenya, where we showcase the growing refugee crisis across africa. there are at present around 30000000 asylum seekers and tony displaced people and refugees across the continent. many the result of conflicts started by western powers and which been spiraled out of control. climate change and dwindling resources have for the field,

the ongoing humanitarian disaster. if you missed the show, you can find it on any of the social media handles on the screen. this week we come to you from south africa, the leading history museum into 100. it should showcase the rich cost of both the country and the continent. but instead of gracing these show some of the museums most important artifacts on display museum in western countries. they say a diamond is a gold best friends, but far from being afraid, and one of the world's most famous diamonds has caused nothing but heartache, anguish, and it was terrible loss to atone town. the story begins back in january 19 o 5. when a glitch in the ground turned out to be the biggest rock untouched diamond the world had ever seen. it was not far from here in a town called collin michel property. at the time the mine belong to

a european businessman and the diamond was put on sale in london and eventually gifted to king edward, the 7 today calls to return the diamonds, have become a national debate. voices are becoming louder. one of them is the economic freedom fighters at south africa opposition political policy that is always been vocal in fighting against colonial atrocities and for with relations and the return of african antiquities city. think that western influence has had any kind of positive impact on the continent or elevated africa in any way. look, listed influence in african continent has not been positive in terms of if you look at the deep seated problems that have happened. i mean, wisdom, society entered africa with the presumption that it is superior, culturally, socially tied in political. and it was on that basis that they rationalized to abuse that the effected on african people, the disposition of their land. and the theft of the wealth of african people,

the logic to it, was that we were less than human beings. so the influences premised on us not being worthy of being within so called barriers or categories of humans. we did not produce so far more land and by just paid to the capital it global economy. we did not encroach land with, their fences would not do certain things in western ways. and therefore that made us list increments. so there is no western influence that is the positive in terms of the life of african people. and do you think that post colonial atrocities should pets just be forgotten and we move on from there can be forgotten because if you look at the conditions people live in today, they stem from what happened during colonialism. so you can say we must get but continued to determine the life of people today. can forget that we were pleased in specific faces in terms of land would result in us living in checks and can forget that when excluded from formally education, deliberately. and so therefore,

now we clinical, anticipating the corporate sector, sophisticated forms of economic organizer because it's deliberate and the development of our people. so to foot to see, must get that without progressing all of the impacts of colonialism is illogical. so it can be forgotten until the material changes are made. 12 people, reparations are paid, and we ensure that we are able to compete at the same level as those of colonized. speaking about the valuables that have been taken care from africa. of course you have the color and diamond which today's part, the crown jewels. what is your party's policy on that? we feel that the northern was shown by the british monarchy for that 1st his, the impacted on african people across the continent. and even in other lands for indigenous people in india and america, and arrogance is to patricia williams, still keeping the colon jewel, which was stolen from south africa, still keeping a lot of gold, which has stolen from the african continent and other mineral wealth. so there's a lack of remorse for them to not be able to attend those basic things that we know

. it was a foreclosure that still remains that they have comedians has head after defeating him. so there's a lot that needs to be done in terms of repetition. david includes that a 10 moment wealth and artifacts that belong to us. can people have indigenous people all over the world? have you had any response to your claims? because below to sponsor to that, we saw that prince charles made it general marker before leading up to the funeral of elizabeth, seeing that we have a complex history with africa, was no concession as to the fact that his benefit is committed. the person at a particular level was continued to have an impact on our people in that these 2 nurses, their wealth is built on the blacks with african sleeps. so there's been noticed was besides vague statements that derrick li implicate to produce one of the crimes that they very well know they've committed. how do you think bringing back the diamond will actually help south africa look, a symbolic he could be assigned to the most as if it's monica, but also with

a lot of money. it could contribute to small skill development in the life of african people had, could show that relation to being totally rebuilt between those colonized us and those were colonized in concord. so i think the impact would be much more symbolical than anything else. but the kennedy, some monetary value to the turnover that diamond could be used to elevate the student dead. and so that the kid could be used called housing and certain areas improve what to infrastructure, energy to for selection. so much could be done with it. but as symbolically best dipping the red x. no reversing. one of those 2 new kind. i want to be the town of collin and is today a far cry on the palaces of the united kingdom way. it has found a tone as part of the job. it's a prime example of how the waste treated africa as a playground. or should i say tricia hunt. we visited the birthplace of this controversial find. return our stolen design. that's what lake couldn't

elizabeth did, prompted many africans to demand. and it's yeah. with the vault biggest and diamond which forms part of the british, one of the keys collection was found. although this is something that the kind of in town should celebrate. it has but nothing, but tears and anger, the tongue continued to languish and slams. while the british royal house was stolen, billions on top of a heads and coding them on mine is just a mine that we know that this doing nothing at all and doing a little in fact, because of is things that are not giving in the hope and future to this community as a little light, i know, and for the fact that the one that we are the mind that we're talking about, that has produced one of the biggest demons in the world. but the community still suffering even to do so. remember blinks, where, where, where,

where are the ones where linking those mice ensuring your, your eyes and you know, doing those? yes. so if what was really honestly, whatever that the blacks are working with their own bad, the oldest lived. so no atman has discovered that by that game, you must remember that most of the mining industry, or specifically the time and industry has killed that market for us to even cut did here locally. so bring it to bring a big for what it is still going to come back here to say no, it's back then take it back to england to cut it you process to do their jewelry and whatever. then if the dream to be realized, i wish to live when that day cuts. but the diamond one comes back. but the only

thing that the mine that can do here is to develop this area, develop its people socially and otherwise take them to school. because we lead to a lot of things. we spoke to cause bishop, an independent media journalist in the united kingdom and got his coming. i christian welcome to african. now, can you share with us a little bit of the history of how western countries have been stealing from africa? well, what i can say is a lot of it has gone on in the last century from where your city in janet's back to the mediterranean sea. when they were off to fax, precious stones, they were precious pieces of art. there was just taken the understand mentality was that well, where we are in control, we've got guns, we can say what we want to know on is that to say otherwise. and, and in that time,

in the last say, 150 years before the continent to independence. there was a lot of stuff taken and again, with almost with impunity. but the color diamond was little bit more complicated. the matt, but essentially after argue that it was kind of the same way nobody helen in going and eventually end up in the united kingdom. they decided the, the then minority government. it's as i to give it to the british government, believe it or not, to heal the wounds of the anglo boy war, which ended the turn of the century. but this is a 907. this i right, when you think about it, i mean your country is devastating by warm and you're giving something to somebody else. to hear lou, the victors feel the lose of this. but anyway. and so they got his diamond family.

there is a story behind it in the fact that they said they were going to send it by ship to england. and essentially what happened was they, they used the ship as a decoy. and they actually is other than that, there was nothing on the ship. and they sent the color diamond by a parcel post. imagine my royal mail. let's do you think it can boil family with support when they getting the going back? in the example for you, i know this your history. but during the war, a plan to take nelson's column in london and take it down and rebuild it as a trophy. or if that happened, i'm years later, you know, the war was over. friends again, you know, will never be great to go out. lloyd nelson back up and where he was before, you know, just as like, you know, that spawn of our heritage and i guess it same way. i mean, i can see why that but,

but again, my, my city about it is, yeah, it's a quick fix when they just there. i mean, it's not on the road from a sure to my, it's not like, you know, they going to miss it. they got plenty of gems to some of the queens private election. they went on by the state and sent it back. but again, i, i myself, i would say ok, let's make something of it. let's make it a tourist attraction. let's make it into a way in which people get money out of it. and why are which people can create wealth around otherwise? was it, do it in a glass case in another country? is entry k it again to get the diamond back? what do you think, whether or not they're going to go back to africa? i don't know. it's a very complicated situation. i mean, one would have thought in the car, crime of the royal family is not sure. diamonds and jewels, although i would say ok,

they have it back. i think that in some ways it's very sensitive to the role from them and you look at it when the queen died. and charles was as shaken as of people. and i saw this bit of television and some guy said, you're spending millions on your mother's funeral of our money. and we are, we're struggling to pay our bills and our electricity bills, which is true. but avoid low. my gosh, you know, when is that? yeah, i mean the ro, family is living on another level and a sensitive to the will of people as us. but then again, i mean, does it getting most or, or is this debate will never even come up. but yeah, i mean it's, i just think the world's going to grow up sometimes. okay. all right, let's it, right. you, this is your,

i mean it's simple as it would be. we'd have to, there's libra, i don't, they, the sets are in the crime and the security i get is america, and it's a damn bill. it's not like rocket science. i think united kingdom is guilty not only for taking the color in diamond. recently it returned zimbabwe and maria skulls, that western colonialists took us trophies during the colonial wars. we travel now to neighboring some bob way, way, although many are happy with the return of a skull. it doesn't change history. behind me is this take you off, as in bob was famous liberation, war hero, known as we are now. honda also remains are also believed to have been taken by the british and are set to be returned back to the country with the remaining skulls. zimbabwe is preparing for the return of a worry as calls that were taken as trophies during deliberations. struggle against the british colonial rule and development that has led the whole country into

jubilation. these are our heroes. we can be happy here after independence, when we have the remains of cornish nor heroes remaining outside the country. we won them, wrote their home and given a decent area, because already we know that they are 11 remains for national heroes. that is now been identified. well not by name, but they said that they are offering bobby in origin. it keeps us reminded that we once com. good bye. do i simpler the resume and, and if it that we are not independent here without those remains the next us appear like we haven't completed, beholden that. it's not all about bringing back some of that about taking down who are the people that we want to put them on statues that they have accomplish

something you're in namibia. think about it in terms of that. instead of everybody getting angry, okay, find the statute remove. the statue is gone, we don't need the statue, they, we can make way for something out there, but i mean, we know it's not to get upset for the statue. that's been the move. how i feel about it is, i personally feel like the state of good from french law was supposed to be taken down lee. so we back in independence when we became independence. now humanity to re, in still in the powers of the minority in the people that suffered a career for friendship. so i, i can see that point of view and you know, if it gets removed to probably go somewhere we, where we go to view history like them like a museum. we should to lever a place to, for people to sailors, to see what the past was. people to know those characters were and so on. so i can, i can understand that from that point of view, i just don't think it's a good idea to try and hide your history or trying to remove it to try and reshape

things. yes, it is a blessing to see that after a 120 years it use the some kind of even hoping restored. you know, people the stage is being removed. it's a very big, big move for the people of the country. they felt the trauma in the page. yes, the suffering in the page now they're going to be removed. but at least this is one step closer to justice in to piece into unity and to bring back the color by abrasion culture. the discussion of repatriation is not about objects also about the people they are suffering and the rights to an identity. most the public debate is mostly focused and after you can ought optics tell only half the story. the continued suffering of african people calls the wrist. the says lead to the strong need for name changes the like on the country road. i'm standing currently picks lead, got his soc, is a mystery. formerly known as i saw with street as ation. the street is also home to

lou to the house in the head quarters. we visited the studio of africa, historian and south african sculptor, a t cut and truly, to gain more insight on his use of stolen african antiquity. for many is western countries and they history books have portrayed africans as uncivilized and and educated people. yet they still still are valuables. i twigs and ideas. i'm with african sculpture politic unduly, so whom the 5 to get these odd pieces back to africa is real. it touches the very core of his work has any of the work been stolen by western countries. and i had to in some cases it was stolen air when i was in swaziland and even when i was in the u. k. i think about twice where the paintings and the drone

in the just kind of frame disappeared. but i was flattered that some would love my way. how would you feel if it had been and your art was sitting in western museums? yeah, i think that's one of the most kind of very painful in how a work of art is born. the turmoil as the struggles, the juggling that takes place in somebody's mind in order to produce a work of art. and after all of that struggle and all that power, yo, it benefits, you know, somebody else who says about one of the most coolest things that can be visited upon a talented person or even an ordinary person. and why do you feel western countries are still holding on to these treasures? there was a whole different through these antiquities because they are worth a lot of money and to their vertically a, you know, works of art. and they know that as long as the human race in exist there,

those pieces are going to play a very vital in the road or for either tracy nelson keeping us, you know, in line in terms of where the 3 things we are capable of doing. and what measures do you think africans have taken to get out valuables back and do you think we ever wall i think am a visually in the 7 kansas and, and losing a some of the things because the very in the teams will, that ablaze are beginning to raise questions about their countries in theft, i think radially not all of the x would be the 10 of course, but a lot of works will be in, you know, the 10th it, but the politics of art and the politics of her nationality. initial stated to lease, remember in late the 77, when all african countries held 1st duct, the festival of ads in culture. all of them,

not even any west in or 5 eastern media area in the attended that. they needed one symbol of the india mosque. i voted my schooner from nigeria that pretended that we would like to have that as our sign of you need g o, loan it to us. then if you don't even refused to loan that dean for symbolically these works. a powerful politically and a drudge western countries portrayed africans as uncivilized, an uneducated people in history books. what do you make of that? i think the other question can only be answered by a poet did she care with? dancy was laid now who said they give you what they can no longer hold, right? people are invited to a party, they eat your stomach 1st and then your memory. that's what colonialism as it is

done. so people like those are not going to give you something unless they no longer a you know, need it. and why is african art so special as an african artist yourself? what message are you trying to convey through your art and sculpt tank? i mean, my own a know, if it's got to do is you know, spirits are going to do is going to try to do with a, a know my life as a political either animal was meant for an early death, but to man is to in a to survive, it is more concerned the one that won the global, you know, finance awards. it also got to do with bones and beads. it's more about the issue of an eco world because african cultures, eco viable wells that we have been created. that is why when a child is born, you don't even cut the umbilical cord, you wait for it to drop,

and then you're going to bury that beautiful cotton planted tree to link a child, you know, to the tree. i am. so b, c of the matter of the hyena. i'm grow mom, michael. the member sneak in a so that whoever attacks them august, never the hyena, it's a, i'm a conservationist, a all our provider changes of to tom. well, you don't produce the rivers. everything is about a call in a viability. that's what our contract is up. what the my at, in a seems to be. a i wanted to address the scramble for africa and its resources over the past, centuries had left a trail of devastation in its wake. from planet minerals to stolen artifacts, the voices from the continent are determined to be heard. what that brings us to the end of this week, so we hope you enjoyed it. next week we will explore the search for alternative currencies to the american dollar by african countries. please feel free to reach

out with you ideas, as we'd love to take your input and feedback. you can always catch us on odyssey for one tick, tock. well, that's it for me and the team from here on the tip of the african continent until next week. saline ghastly. stay, well ah ah ah, ah

ah ah, during the 2nd world war in nazi occupied poland valinda was a farming region. today it's part of ukraine. between 1943 and 945 members of the ukrainian insurgent army led by stepan. bandera could thousands of poles in virginia in a diabolical ethnic cleansing process. the mergers were particularly horrific and brutal villages were burned and property looted. the valinda massacre is without doubt one of the bloodiest episodes in polish ukrainian history. why are ukrainian politicians still reluctant to talk about these events? how to modern day ukraine and poland view this tragedy of the past. and why does the memory of belinda still divide people

ah, us in german media outlets published articles claiming that a pro ukrainian group was behind the bombing of benoit extreme pipelines. but russia calls it an attempt to shift the blame from the alleged west of roll, where field i see more. ah, as australia i is helping the us to wage war against china, a, taiwan, we expose the american establishment, links to war mongering, australian propaganda. abusive independence from foreign pharmaceuticals and health care of the global south was let down by the cobra.
