Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski has continued to make phone calls
with world leaders since President Donald Trump of the United
States US announced that President Vladimir Putin of Russia will
meet with him next week Friday in the U S
state of Alaska, and stated, while answering questions from the
White House reporters, that there will be some swapping of

(00:21):
territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia, specifically
saying we will get some back and we will get
some switched. There will be some swapping of territories to
the betterment of both, a statement that immediately and apparently
drew the attention of the Ukrainian President Voladimir Zelenski, who
have issued series of video and written press releases since

(00:42):
President Donald Trump made the announcement, insisting that Ukraine will
not see any of its territory to Russia for the
purpose of peace or to end the war, emphasizing that
it was because President Putin occupied part of ukraine territory
in the past and assembled its true Ukrainian borders were
without preventive punishment, made him to start full scale war

(01:04):
with Ukraine since twenty twenty two, adding that the path
to piece for Ukraine must be determined together with Ukraine.
This is fundamental. It is important that joint approaches and
a shared vision work toward genuine peace, a consolidated position,
cease fire, end of occupation, end of war. According to Trump,

(01:25):
the highly anticipated meeting between myself as President of the
United States of America and President Vladimir Putin of Russia
will take place next Friday, August fifteenth, twenty twenty five,
in the Great State of Alaska. Further details to follow.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Zulensky, in

(01:45):
a series of press releases on Saturday, said, I have
not heard any partners express doubts about America's ability to
ensure that the war ends. The President of the United
States has the leavers and the determination. Pine has supported
all of President Trump's proposals starting back in February. Cease fire,

(02:06):
all formats have been supported. What is needed now is
not a pause in the killings, but a real, lasting peace,
not a ceasefire sometime in the future, in months, but immediately.
President Trump told me so, and I fully support it.
There must be a just end to the war, and
it is Russia that must end the war it started

(02:28):
Ukraine and all partners shared the same understanding of the
need for a cease fire, for an end to the killings.
There is only one actor opposing this putin. His only
card is the ability to kill, and he is trying
to sell the cessation of killings at the highest possible price.
It is important that this does not mislead anyone. Results

(02:49):
are needed at the leader's level, dignified results, Results that
will save lives that the world will value and for
which it will be grateful to the leader who den
In Nigeria Police Force has refuted claims that its men
man handled Sahara, a reporter's publisher, Army La Saware inside
cell after the media personnel honoured the invitation sent him

(03:11):
from the Office of the Inspector General of Police IGP
over allegations of forgery and criminal defamation of characters, with
the police stating in a press release signed and made
available after the detained media publisher was released on Friday
night that Saware allegedly brought bandages alongside other personal items
when he came to the station to honour the police

(03:33):
invitation and when the IGP ordered internal investigation to ascertain
if truly the media publisher was tortured as claimed Saware
refused to allow medical personnel from the Nigeria Police Force
checked the alleged injury on his hand. He had claimed
he suffered as a result of the police personnel brutality
while inside cell. Meanwhile, as at the time Sware was

(03:56):
released on Friday night, bandages were still seen wrapped around
and one of his hands are seen in the video
while he was coming out from the IGP Rapid Response
Team IRT police detention facilities in Abuja, as stated by
Sware in the video. Shortly after his release from detention
facilities at the IGP Rapid Response Team on Friday, Saware

(04:19):
posted on his social media handles and said that freedom
is never given. It is not a gift from the powerful,
nor a token handed down by the oppressor. It must
be seized with raw courage, with clarity, and with collective will.
Those who sit in power never give it up willingly.
That's why we take it back, because freedom is ours

(04:41):
and we will fight until it is no longer a
dream but a lived reality. Nigeria Police Force, in a
statement issued on August eighth, twenty twenty five and made
available to the public said, the Nigeria Police Force is
compelled to address and decisively correct the recent wave of
disinformation being peddled in connection with the lawful arrest and

(05:01):
attention of mister on the Yena Saware, a figure known
for manipulating public narratives and weaponizing propaganda to malign state
institutions and their leadership, particularly the Office of the Inspector
General of Police. Contrary to the falsehoods being circulated, mister
Sware was arrested based on credible corroborated allegations involving criminal

(05:24):
offenses such as forgery, cyberstalking and other infractions currently under
active investigation. The arrest was affected in full compliance with
extant legal provisions and with strict adherents to constitutional safeguards,
due process and the rights of the suspect. To be clear,
mister Sirware was released on bailwell within the forty eight

(05:47):
hour constitutional window in accordance with the provisions of Section
thirty five four of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended. Human rights activists
and found under of Sahara Reporters News Network, Omila Saware
has been reportedly man handled on Thursday early warning inside

(06:08):
police cell by offices from the Inspector General of Police
IGP Monitoring Unit after the journalist honored the invitation sent
him from the office of the Inspector General of Police
for a reason not stated, but the media personnel working
with Omila Sware, in a statement on Thursday made available
through the verified personal social media handles of Saware, said

(06:31):
that the police presented two petitions against Sware over alleged
forgery and defamation of character, adding that some police officers
from the IGP Monitoring Unit as early as six a m.
On Thursday entered Sware cell at the Force Intelligence Department
in Abuja with alleged pretense to take the media publisher
to court, but when the journalist demanded to see the

(06:54):
charges against him, he was allegedly handled roughly by a
team of armed policemen. The US barrister Addi andju Deji
petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bola amed Tanubu, demanding the
immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode Eggbetoken for allegedly abusing
his office by thus using his high ranking office in

(07:15):
the Nigeria Police Force to settle personal scores. Although the
Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations, but
the force in a press release on Thursday afternoon apparently
made statements in relation to the current matters involving the
detained media publisher Omiyele Saware by insisting and stating in

(07:35):
the press statement that the recent promotions in the Nigeria
Police Force was based on merit and not selective, accusing
an unnamed online platform of allegedly sponsoring deliberate falsehoods to
tarnish the image of the force, while also calling on
offices and men of the force to desist from lobbying
to get promoted, saying the IGP has warned that any

(07:57):
police personnel court lobbying to get promotion will be made
to face disciplinary action. According to the post published via
Sware social media handles, the media team of the publisher
said this morning at six a m. A police team
led by a Chief Superintendent of Police from the IGP
Monitoring Unit forcibly gained entry into omiena Sware cell at

(08:20):
the Force Intelligence Department in Abuja, claiming they were taking
him to court. The team of nine offices, including eight
heavily armed personnel handled Sirwar roughly when he asked to
see the charges and notify his lawyers, breaking his arm
in the process before taking him to another police facility,
the media team stated. In another post, the media said

(08:43):
the notorious former SARS officer, d C. P Akin Fakarayda
presented two petitions to SAWARE from the illegal igp's office,
one alleged forgery in the second written by Bukoayemisi Kuti,
who was promoted to a Namra is no doubt one
of the states in Nigeria are experiencing incessant and very
high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do lead

(09:05):
to the death of the abducted victims and killing of
security operatives and some other persons around the scene of
the mostly monetary crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically,
our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week
without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Innicho,
a wary federal road in an Ambra State, especially between

(09:26):
Over community and Ihiala town. As we gathered that most
victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small
and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled
out of poverty to become wealthy successful traders. This we
learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along
the Ihiala or who Road left to be kidnapped or

(09:48):
forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers. While in Ober,
wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly and ransom in millions
of pain in silence to the kidnappers. According to members
of the community, a young successful businessman was kidnapped recently
at a location between the Ober New Road and Old
Road junctions, shortly after he visited his building construction site.

(10:10):
While we also learned that some people in the state
to report or contract their friends to kidnappers just to
get a share from the ransom that will be paid
afterwards or when such people have issue or dispute with
their friends or co traders. It may interest you to
know that the Anambra State Police Command recently arrested a
twenty four year old male suspect, Muanaie Victor, for allegedly

(10:33):
luring his friend to be kidnapped by his criminal gang
in Uli Ihiala local government area of the state, and
they reportedly collected a ransom in dollars equivalent to five
point three million narras with his gang members, just as

lawyer and two other persons in in polygu Aguata Local

by unknown gunmen after the gunmen killed numbers of persons
along the new Ober Newi Road in Idomili South Local
Government Area of a Nambra State, with the number of
those killed at the Porsha nightclub said to be seven,

(11:15):
but one of the security operatives was beheaded and another
had his foot cut off and made away by the
invading deadly kidnappers. This occurred shortly after a well known
native doctor or which doctor Chidos in nawangu Aka Aqua

on board the aircraft. The aircraft was from Acraa and
heading for Abausi and is currently off the radar. All
efforts of being made to establish contact. The Ghana Armed

helicopter crash that claimed the lives of top government officials,
including the Defense and Environment ministers, while announcing the death
of the all passengers and crew members on board, The
Garaner Chief of Staff Julius Debra said on behalf of

(14:34):
the President of the Republic, his Excellency John dromeny Mohamma,
the Vice President, Professor nna Jana Poku Agumang, who is
with us here and the Government of Ghana, I have
the unpleasant duty sadly to announce a national tragedy involving
the crash of a military helicopter this morning around the
Adancy area in Theanamra State government under the leadership of

(14:57):
Governor Charles Chukuma Saludo has said that the state is
currently in search of justice over the killing of a

while the state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma salud olukx the

(15:42):
other way with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically,
Mongolou said, I must speak frankly, an amber is no
longer safe, not even in the state capital. Our people
are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the
government looks the way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment.

(16:03):
Just recently, we lost over ten lives in a ghastly
accident at Amchi no We South local government area. Yet
there was no statement, no condolence, not even a visit
from the state government. Instead we see street renamings and
political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience? Mogolu stated, while
the former lawyer to Namdi Cardu, the detained Biafra agitation

(16:26):
leader Barrister Afani Go four said the people of the
state are currently romancing with crimes, hiding criminals and painting
absurd narratives on social media to glorify and justify the
rising crimes in the state, saying the most frightening part
the reckless energy our own people expend defending these killers.

(16:47):
When you shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you
embolden them. When you justify kidnappings under the guise of
ethnic pride, you leave the gates wide open for the
real external aggresses like armed Herd's whose invasion will come
when we are weakest and most divided. Namra's State Commissioner
for Information Law Mepha made the government position known on

(17:09):
Sunday after he led other government officials on a condolence

a breath taking and thrilling final football match held in

Nations waf con consecutively in nineteen ninety eight, two thousand,
two thousand and two, two thousand and four, two thousand
and six, twenty ten, twenty fourteen, twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen
and recently for the twenty twenty four Africa Continental Women Tournaments.
This many top government officials, most especially governors and ministers

(24:52):
like the governors of Kaduna Uber Sani, Governor of Kuara
Abdul Rahmen Abdul Razak and inhost state Hopuzz Jodimer gathered
for hours at the Nandi Hazukiway International Airport, Abuja waiting

the First Lady of Nigeria, Hola Remi Tanubu, was at

(26:24):
the kitchen preparing his food while watching the match, emphasizing
the First Lady almost abandoned his dinner because of the
football match and the Super Falcons on Monday could be
seen singing, praising and dancing with the First Lady, Honaremi Tanubu,
by thus reversing the negativity of the popular viral song

this to accept the First Lady as the mother of
all in the nation. Barely ten days after Israeli soldiers
bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza. Benjamin Natanyahu,
the State of Israel Prime Minister, has said that Israel
is now being portrayed as the enemy of Christians, stating
that Israel has a thriving Christian community, the only thriving

(27:09):
Christian community in the broad radius of the Middle East.
Where Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished, adding you can
like Christmas trees in Nazareth, but in Bethlehem, the birthplace
of Jesus. When Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in,
the Christian majority shrank from eighty percent to under twenty
percent because there was no more Israel to protect them.

(27:32):
Though Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu did not mention the bombing
of the Catholic Church in Gaza that led to the
killing of three persons and injuring to several people, including
the parish priest, it could be recalled that the Israel
Defense Forces idf action against the Christian Holy Place in
Gaza sparked global condemnations, with the head of the Catholic Church,

(27:54):
Popelio the fourteenth, in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth,
twenty twenty five, while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read
out the names of those killed in the incident and said,
I appeal to the international community to observe humanitarian law
and respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well as
the prohibition of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force

(28:18):
and force displacement of the population. During a church event
on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, while speaking at the
Daystars Together as One event in Jerusalem with Pastor Paula White,
leader of the White House Faith Office, said Iran is
now being projected as the friend of the Americans. Word

(28:38):
to word of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech has transcribed
and made available by the Office of the Israel Prime
Minister on Sunday. Reads below. Thank you Joni, thank you Daystar,
thank you Paula, thank you ambassadors and the many friends
of Israel. In the Christian world, this is the city
in the land where it all began, the Judeo Christian

(29:01):
tradition that promoted the belief in monotheism, a single God,
that developed the idea of the sanctity of life, the
sanctity of individual life, the idea of freedom. In an
ancient world that was swamped with massive slavery to build
these ancient empires. The Jewish people came out with the
idea that slavery should be limited and ultimately removed. This

(29:23):
was revolutionary. The beginning of the idea of freedom began
in this land, and that idea spread throughout the centuries
and especially in modern times, and changed the world. It
gives hope to the world. It gives meaning to our lives.
It gives a bond between the world's greatest democracy, the
United States of America, and the world's vibrant democracy here

(29:46):
in Israel. And that's a partnership that is bonded in faith.
Royal Thai Army in the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense
have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed civilian
houses and properties at Emerald triang A City in Now
on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in
the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night

(30:09):
to Sunday morning night. Despite President Donald Trump of the
United States US statement on Saturday that he has spoken
on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia and
the acting Prime Minister of Thailand asking the two parties
to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure to do so,
according to Trump, US will not make any business deal

(30:32):
with both countries. In his words, Trump said, we happen
to be by coincidence currently dealing on trade with both countries,
but do not want to make any deal with either
country if they are fighting, and I have told them so.
The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call
with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding

(30:53):
war stoppage and cease fire based on what Thailand has
to say. I am trying to simplify complex situation. Many
people are being killed in this war, but it very
much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India,
which was brought to a successful hault. The Lao government
had on Friday reported that ten bombs were found having

(31:15):
been fired into civilian areas and affecting local residents in
the Emerald Triangle, a town in Lao that borders both Lao,
Thailand and Cambodia. A statement from the Lao People's Armed
Forces on Saturday afternoon refuted earlier media reports claiming clashes
between the Lao People's Armed Forces and Cambodian armed personnel,

(31:36):
describing the reports as untrue, denying the shelling in Lao.
The Royal Thailand Army in a statement on Saturday, said
that the Royal Thai Army clarifies case of artillery shells
landing in Lao Pidi art territory in Emerald Triangle Area,
confirms investigation found they were not Thai forces ammunition. According

(31:57):
to news reports, on the twenty fourth of ju Ju
Lie twenty twenty five, at approximately nine forty hours, ten
artillery shells landed in the territory of the Lao People's
Democratic Republic LAOPDR in the Emerald Triangle area, which is
the border junction between Thailand, Laos and Cambodia, without clear

(32:17):
confirmation as to which side the shells belonged to, and
preliminarily there were no reports of casualties or property damage
from the incident. Major General Wintai Suburi Army spokesperson issued
a clarification that following fact finding investigations and coordination with
security agencies of the Lao PDR, it is confirmed that

(32:39):
they were definitely not shells from the Thai military side,
and the Royal Thai Army has confidence in its capability
to control weapon usage effectively appropriately. Asia is apparently becoming
a continent of war as hope of achieving peace in
the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh
walls broke out in the Middle East Asia after her

(33:00):
mass attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multifront wars
in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and Yemen. This occurred as Russia,
that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in
twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its
neighbouring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led

(33:20):
to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting
an end soon. But while many in the world hoped
for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war
broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast
Asia between Cambodia and Thailand after soldiers from Royal Thai
Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a

(33:41):
land mine at Huaibon chong En Ma nam Yuen District,
Uban Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing
severe injury to one Thailand soldier, while iour other soldiers
sustained some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister
of Thailand Funtham Warechiai to recall the country's ambassador from

(34:02):
PanAm Pen and expelled Cambodia's ambassador to Thailand, leading to
heavy military confrontations starting next day Mourning, which Cambodian news
agency on Saturday reported the tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians,
including children, pregnant women, and the elderly, have been forced
to flee the military aggression along the border areas, including

(34:24):
Pria Vihir, Odaminchi and Persit, and the Royal Thai Army
