Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is still no peace in sight after nearly three
hours of meeting held in Anchorage City in Alaska, a
state in the United States US between President Vladimir Putin
of Russia and President Donald Trump of the United States
over the war Russia launched since twenty twenty two in Ukraine,
which has led to thousands of deaths, mostly Ukrainians, which
(00:22):
President Voladimir Zelensky of Ukraine, who was not invited for
the meeting on Friday, in a statement, said that it
was time to end the war, but Russia must take
the necessary steps to a genuine peace. Steel And while
commenting on the statement made by the President of Poland
Karl Navoki on Friday via x social media platform to
mark Poland Armed Forces Day, which coincided with the day
(00:45):
Putin and Trump met in Alaska, President Zelenski said that
Ukraine's independence strengthens Poland's independence and we must always remember
that the Miracle on the Vistula was made possible through
joint efforts and it saved Europe and the Polish President
Karl Navoki had said that today we celebrate the one
hundred and fifth anniversary of the Great Polish victory at
(01:08):
the Battle of Warsaw. In nineteen twenty, the Polish Army,
together with Ukrainian forces, successfully repelled the Red Army's westward March,
safeguarding Europe from a communist revolution. For centuries, Russian imperialism
has been a mortal threat to our freedom. Poland's political
tradition teaches that Russian expansionism rests on a legacy of
(01:29):
domestic despotism, in which the only freeman is the ruler himself.
But precisely because Russian despotism is the enemy of freedom,
Russian imperialism can only be defeated through an alliance of
free peoples. My nation halted Russian imperialism at Usher fifteen fourteen,
Klashido one thousand, six hundred ten and Warsaw nineteen twenty.
(01:52):
It was probably a synature of world attention when Air
Force one and Russia presidential aircraft officially wheeled down a
joint and bay Selbendorf as President Donald Trump and President
Vladimir Putin met face to face for the first time
since the war in Ukraine started on February twenty fourth,
twenty twenty two, and the Friday meeting marked the first
(02:13):
time President Vladimir Putin of Russia was stepping on western
country soil since he launched the war against Ukraine. He
was able to meet Trump in Alaska because the US
is not a member country of the International Criminal Court
Ices that issued a warrant of arrest against the Kremlin
leader since twenty twenty three over alleged war crime in Ukraine.
(02:35):
It would be recalled that the Russian President Vladimir Putin
did not attend the twenty twenty five annual Brazil, Russia, India,
China and South Africa Summit known as Briggs Summit in
Brazil due to concerns over an International Criminal Court warrant
for his arrest in connection with alleged war crimes committed
in Ukraine. According to the Kremlin aid Yuri Yashikov, President
(02:59):
Vladimir Putin did not attend the summit due to certain
difficulties in the context of the ICC requirement, adding in
that context, the Brazilian government could not take a clear
position that would allow our president to participate in this meeting. Instead,
the Russian leader joined his Bricks colleagues via video link.
(03:19):
Futen was declared a war crime suspect since the ICC
named him in a March twenty twenty three arrest warrant
over the mass deportation of Ukrainian children. Co contestants in
the last concluded general elections in Nigeria and former governor
of a Nambra State, Peter Obi, has faulted President Bola
Ahmed tenubu trip to Brazil and also condemned the president
(03:42):
frequent travel abroad at any slightest invitation and abandoned pressing
issues of insecurity and other deplorable situations that make the
nation bleeds. Specifically, Peter Obi said, the situation we find
ourselves in is deeply worrisome. Our President, who has not
found it worthy to visit any of our troubled states,
(04:02):
takes joy in traveling to foreign countries at the slightest
invitation or excuse, often departing several days even before the
events he's invited to. The Presidency had, in a statement
on Wednesday, said that President Bola Tanubu will depart Abuja
on Thursday, August fourteenth for a two nation trip to
Japan and Brazil. The President will stop over in Dubai,
(04:25):
United Arab Emirates before proceeding to Japan. In Japan, President

Solutions with Africa. TICAD nine will focus on Africa's economic
(04:49):

In addition to attending cleanery sessions on themes linked to
the conference, the Nigerian President will hold by lateral meetings
(05:10):
and meet the chief executive offices of some Japanese companies
with investments in Nigeria. Initiated in nineteen ninety three by
the Japanese government and co hosted by the United Nations UNDP,
the African Union Commission, and the World Bank, TICAD is
a triennial conference held alternately in Japan and Africa. The
(05:32):
last one took place in August twenty twenty two in Tunisia.
The forum foster's high level policy dialogue between African leaders
and development partners. At the end of the TICAD nine,
President Tanubu will leave for Brazilia, the capital of the
Federated Republic of Brazil, on a two day state visit

(06:16):
will explore opportunities to strengthen cooperation and sign agreements and

special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy, stated
on August thirteenth, twenty twenty five, Peter Oby, the Labour
Party presidential candidate in the last concluded general elections in
(06:38):
the West Africa country, in a statement on Thursday, said, again,
our president moves as the nation bleeds amid the deplorable
state of our nation. In all ramifications, we have a
virtually indifferent president who has continued to display insensitivity to
our situation. How can anyone explain that a president who
came from Brazil recently in mass, Federal Government of Nigeria
(07:01):
under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tenubu has ordered
the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos Airport to
withdraw the one sided and obviously bias court case the
Nigeria Police Force may have wrongly instituted against a Nibom
Air passenger, comfort Emanson, who was seen in viral videos
retaliating and defending herself physically after a group of Ibom
(07:23):
Air personnel and Lagos Airport team had attacked her and
provoked her to action. The FG position on the issue
was made known by the Nigeria Minister of Aviation, Festus Kamo,
in a press release the Minister signed and made available
few minutes ago. Although Festus Kamo reversed his self and
acknowledged that the issue was a case of confrontation between
(07:46):
the twenty six years old passenger and the staff of
Ibam Airlines, who in the new press release admitted that
the staff of Ibom Air and the Lagos Airport Authority
team acted wrongly, but the Minister did not state how
the attack act passenger would be compensated, most especially when
her chest sexual organs were seems to be deliberately exposed
(08:07):
after a suspected Ibom Airline staff pulled off and tore
the passenger shirt with obvious intention to expose the passenger's nakedness.
The action of the federal government may ease the tension
among millions of people who have accused the Nigeria Police
Force obayding and avetting the Ibom Airline company to continue
to attack and oppress the offended passenger, Comfort Bob, who
(08:29):
is also identified as Comfort Emanson, by thus supporting the
statement of Ibom Air management, who in their first press
released made statement that seems to have some level of
deliberate falsehood and raising up a dead issue to win
undue public sentiments manipulate. The Nigeria Police forced to help
them secured attention holding charge from the Legos State Magistrate
(08:52):
caught to further oppress and intimidate the attacked passenger. Specifically,
Ibom Air stated in her first press released that shortly
after the plane landed at Lagos Airport, the passenger waited
for every other passenger on board the plane to disembark
and thereafter, without provocation, went to one of the plane hostesses,
Juliana Edward. The Ibom Air management described as purser stepped
(09:16):
on her, forcibly tore off her wig, removed her glasses
and threw it to the floor, and used her footwear
to assault her. She slapped her several times, and when
the other cabin crew member tried to intervene, she slapped
her too. She then attempted to forcibly remove a fire
extinguisher to use as a weapon, an act that could
have damaged and grounded the aircraft. Soon after the IBOM
(09:38):
Air management released the statement on Monday, her video surfaced
on the Internet that probably invalidated the statement of the
IBOM Air management and stood out as an acceptable evidence
that the management of Ibomb error people who may be
rightly described as pathological liars who probably believed in telling
lies as a way of managing crisis and handling difficult
(10:00):
customers' relations. Has seen in the viral video that surfaced
the Internet after the apparent falsehood of IBOM Air Management,
the attack passenger was seen politely telling the air hostess
Juliana Edward to leave the doorway so that she can
disembark from the plane. The senior aggressor in this matter,
the air hostess Juliana Edward refused to yield to the
(10:21):
appeal of the passenger, and Ibom Air management, in their
first press release, confirmed that the air hostess Juliana Edward,
deliberately blocked the door, bringing a mortgage way
