ah, tonight, but if we're potent urges for media talks to stop further, nato expansion towards russia's board is in a telephone conversation with britons prime minister barak johnson. and we don't going speculation over the situation and ukraine, and also accusations that have been coming forth towards russia as well. in other headlines that were bringing year 10 up to a 100 of the, a dead off the tornadoes rip across american states. but the disaster also on the lines, the countries deep political divide to the some politicians given everything that's gone on already trying to school points from the tragedy. and also in the next half hour, the sudanese who say they've been betrayed and had their dreams destroyed. we've a special report coming up into the 1000 strong protest gripping the capital

cartoon that since october's could ah, oh hello, good evening, welcome to out internationals world news at 10 with me, kevin. oh, in 1st then let me putins held a telephone conversation with britain's prime minister boris johnson with a current global hot topic. the ukraine situation, a highlight, present all sorts from media talks to create a global legal framework to stop further nate to expansion towards russia's borders as he corresponded daniel hawkins report from the heart of moscow. while he talks between the prominence and russian president follow similar discussions between the presidents of russia and the united states just a few days ago. and the focus was very much the same ukraine and the tensions on the ukraine, russian border. and after this conversation, it is clear that differences do remain in terms of threat perception,

ideas on where exactly the threat is coming from and where the problems lie. the russian president pointed out, ukraine's use of heavy weaponry and combat drones on demarcation line. so i think that as a violation of them is protocols which of course should bid the presence of foreign troops in the breakaway dawn by region and the use of heavy military weaponry on that location line of lottery. putin pointed out that this use of the weaponry as well as discrimination of russian speakers in ukraine, all of our nations of the main protocols. indeed, the biggest concern for the russian president was the increasing presence of nato military nato troops in ukraine and indeed nato expansion. eastwards that is something that has been a concern for the russian president for russia for a number of years and has often been a spinal in the works on improving relations between russia and the west for quite some time. this is the suggestion that blood putin brought to the table in some of

the resolving those concerns from both sides. vladimir putin stated the neat, immediately begin negotiations with the aim of working out precise international legal agreements that would exclude and further nate expansion, east and the deployment of weapons threatened in russia, neighboring states, primarily in ukraine. now the crime prime minister came up, things of the thought, a different approach cooler, russia, to reduce tensions from their own side. citing the importance of respecting ukraine's sovereignty and integrity. that, of course, comes as a reference to the, let's build up a russian troops on ukraine is border. he did call for long and respectful mis protocols from both sides though, but it is clear from this meeting differences do remain between how to resolve this ongoing crisis in terms of the good news. supposedly it is the degree that progress had been made on climate change. you see that the court 26 in glasgow didn't agree

that collaboration between moscow and london is crucial to make progress on international issue. so at least some good news box there in the run up to christmas and cold between the 2 comes as moscow criticizes the group of g 7 countries for a statement warning, russia severe consequences if it pursues it's supposed military aggression against ukraine. russia should be, in no doubt that the military aggression against ukraine would have massive consequences and severe costs in response to the of around the threats towards russia, warnings or threats. we absolutely understand the position and there is no need to repeat it. 10 times. we would like that position to be more balanced, provocative activities on the be more cation line. western major and high ranking senior officials have recently been alleging that most goes planning and offensive, or, and it's neva, ukraine, citing russian troop movements near the ukranian pulled the criminal. those consistently denied those claims and notes. it could move its troops wherever it

wants to on its own territory. with a foreign ministry spokeswoman adding that ukraine is big militarized. but going even further, germany's foreign minister stating that russia's newly completed gas pipeline nor stream to might not be given the green light in case of any escalation. early here we spoke to car credential, the former foreign minister of austria, but many issues, including threats to block the pipeline. oh, there is a text that was written by the american and by the german government in july in my reading. it's a rather unreadable text because it's very complex. and inter alia, it's mentioned if there is some sort of military sation of to ukraine conflict, then the china government could 3 consider sanctions. so it's very ambiguous, the whole thing, and nobody has a real definition. what is such a situation that the germans will go back to car til sanctions or that are the u. s

. government? what you'll sanctions, there's a lot of our unilateral world threats around and the situation is a very ambiguous effect is that contract treaties have to be kept, have to be preserved. and, and if ever, the, what now start tool impedes the consortium of companies to make this pipeline operated, which is the expansion of an already existing pipeline than that would yield tremendous problems and, and has had, have a tremendous impact on german economy in general. because it would mean a complete loss of credibility in general. this always seems to be here a political will to block it. this political blow to pluck it has been rising was for president trump 20172018 because it had less to do with russian supply of gas

to the europeans. that has always been the case. it had more to do with grating market for north american. alan, she again, it's more a politic a game and it's a risky game than it really has to do with fundamental laws of market economy. supply and demand demand ultimately comes from the consumer, which would be the voter. i mean, why would they want to spend more money on american gas when they can get it from russia? what 3 times as cheap. exactly. this is one aspect and the other one is our gas storage is very tight. it's much below what, where it should be at this time of the year. there's even talk about temporary captain downs of gas provision, or even the risk of, of something like a black out. would you expect this nord stream to gas pipeline to go ahead sooner rather than later? because it sounds like it's needed, but politically, it's awkward. you're fully right. and if the drama to regulate the bonus that's again tour would have continued its procedures as calculated still in september or

the deadline was 8th of january 2022 than to regulate a set knoll. that's a problem. that means that instead of meeting the deadline of eights of 10, or it might be if everything works smoothly than april, may by april, may we don't have to same pressure on, on the gas provision. as we do have right now, it's most probably going to be a cold winter. we see as sequence of unit that was statements by different protagonists. whether it's mrs on the line with aids, president biden, whether it's a different voice is in the german of parliament. and all that is, is not very helpful to say the least because all doors unit as well as statements feeding the media. you have some drama media which even publish a question plans a text lance, even tell us which day the, the russian army is going to invade. i mean it's,

it's really getting sarielle such a language was not present in the cold war days in the seventy's eighty's. maybe because we still have people in office who knew what was meant. unfortunately, we are in times of a decline of diplomacy, diplomatic practice. it's, we're in a world of unilateral statements. postal fathers looked at this arm amount of worse . i mean, this terminology is kick cannot be continued as, as it has been the case over the last few weeks. the media should act in a more responsible way of quoting our this, this john and paper the deals which, which had as effect planets on still days. and many people are required to act in a, in, in, in a, in a more responsible way. because the stakes are simply too high, i believe that those president put and president biden are aware of the stakes.

but there are many, many otherwise this mandates inside natal, whether it's inside ukraine prices who are making this unhelpful unit, actual statements. devastating storms ripped through central and southern parts of america over the weekend. the set of kentucky suffering the worst damage. the governor, no saying that 64 people died. there were more than a 100, remained missing. president biden's declared of major federal disaster in the states. these a satellite images from before and after in a city of mayfield, more than a 100 people were trapped inside a collapse factory building 8 died and the same number of still missing destruction was also reported in arkansas, missouri, tennessee, and illinois, where at least 6 died and an amazon warehouse president biden says his administration's ready to do whatever is needed to help those reeling from the devastation a worst

most devastating, most deadly tornado event in kentucky. history. there's our home town and just noticing everybody's well there was we're shaking house collapsing against you can see where the whole house is buckled the well back sighted at houses off the total devastation for our town. most far historic buildings are now gone with with,

with this is likely to be one of the largest familiar operational history. that is us as highlight to the shop rift, to between republicans and democrats, who some politicians similarly trying to take advantage of the tragedy. nike arrows got more on that side of it. and cya, towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes, ravaged across thick that us dates the worst affected can saki and needs help support and relief aid. and so it turns to the governments on fellow americans. but politics is politics, and it seems not even a monumental disaster like this one can bridge america's political divide. and some believe it's a perfect opportunity to show that you reap what you sow. when hurricane harvey hit in 2017, the 17 senators who voted against

a bill to provide billions of dollars in relief. we're all republicans among them. kentucky's sen. round poll. once again, thousands are suffering, but there's no time like the present for political punches. we should do all we can to help our kentucky neighbors. good. be with them. first person, but do not for one second focus. that run poll has voted against hope and most americans, most times, very neat. we know, rand paul is a heartless hypocrite. the people in kentucky deserved to relief regardless of their buffoon, his leadership, much of the dems, dont use this against him and his part in the future. it is a missed opportunity for some it's not even off limits to suggest that if you vote read, then you had it coming, vote for climate change denials and see what happens. tornadoes in december of red, but weather climate change was a factor is not clear at this point. still is the country real than shock and

concerns. i've a climate change peak. it could also play into the democrats hands as they bid to push a $1.00 trillion dollar climate package through the senate. all i know is that the intensity of the weather across the board has some impacts as a consequence of the warming to a plan and the climate change. and so it seems something as devastating as this can only wet the appetite for those looking to score political points. there is nothing that a politician ever does or says that surprises me. there is nothing that is above them or below them. i think that they're going to anytime that any bad thing happens, that they think that they can use as a justification to push for more control. they're going to, i don't think it's appropriate. i think it's political posturing for the worst of reason. a disaster is a disaster and it was going to happen regardless. it was going to happen whether or not we had cap and trade or the new green deal or anything else. i think it also shows the increasing home renovation and partisanship and division in the us.

instead of looking at people as human beings, we look at them as red or blue or independent. we look at them as some abstraction instead of what they are human being that in this case are suffering terribly right now. i don't care how they voted, and i don't think anyone else should care how they voted. either way, here a surprise in the state of florida with the number of republicans registered to vote, overtaking democrats for the 1st time in modern history. it's kevin and we did not tell you more about that. and the rest of these kicking off here in finacialow after the break. ah oh, is your media a reflection of reality?

in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true was, is great in the world corrupted. you need to descend. ah, so join us in the depths all remain in the shallows. ah ah, the west relations with russia are at record lows, and there is no reason to believe this will change any time soon, however. is a grand bark, impossible, and some i'm suggesting also as a bait of julianna's songs being ah,

his art is what music tangled evening. the winds envoy, his sudan says military leaders must rebuild trust with the opposition. especially younger people. many say they feel betrayed by october co and they're rejecting any negotiations with the military, our senior correspondent, board gazda, of witness the 1000 strong protests in the capital cartoon. and talk to people who say the dreams of a better life of being destroyed. the full version of an exclusive reports available on our youtube channel. but for now he is a cut. ah, she's cooled mina. like countless others. she's a beggar. she doesn't play with her friends or go to school. she spends her days, thinking outside the hotel. mina is just one of millions and saddam forced to beg to help feed herself and her family in these desperate times.

and saddam so is sick wounded in disease by years of strife and disappointment. these wasn't what democracy promised. the fool of the dictator. omar al, by sheer and 2019, was supposed to harold, a new age for, for god, a transition to a democracy. but the democratic age of prosperity that millions hopeful has turned into an age of hunger. i'm not mad. i don't know. there is still hope to be honest, my only concern now is finding something to eat and so much sleep. hello as everything that's happening, i just don't know. i don't care anymore. i just try saying something against the government. they'll label you and islamists, or former rating sympathizer, or

a military supporter. in reality, all we want is to tell the government that we're hungry, that we have huge problems. people can't even go to school because of roadblocks or protests. after the revolution, the people put their faith that a man called abdullah ham dock, korea bureaucrats, who promised as prime minister to lead the country to democracy. he won the hearts of millions only to break the nfl, but the military intervene. and what some have called a to it arrested prime minister ham dock and his cabinet. the argument was that they were running the country into the ground and the transition to democracy needed a correction. handled cabinet of ministers included many with foreign citizenship. allegations of corruption were rife, ministers were accused of enriching themselves while spouting platitudes about democracy. the prime minister has since struck a deal with the military, and they now ruled jointly to the displeasure of the revolutionaries. and none of

those here will go to these protest. we protested then and we were betrayed. why would we protest again for him, for what? what will change? nothing. we will like to once and life only got where we will sit and wait for our deaths here. yet every week, hundreds, sometimes thousands gather across to dawn and chancellor dimansky of freedom food or to meet him. what traditional thursday protest i now underway ties a burning in central ardon. this is how these protest happen. people gather and group several 1000 several 100. in this case, abs, i've written 50 people here. burning ties are the major intersection. their objective is to put disruption. they're charging now against the military government who they see as being responsible for their scoop ah,

the crowd. these ship the thousands and we had seen many small columns, swarming in various neighborhoods before converging here and what they all want for power to be handed over by the military toys, civilian government, properly, they stop without any acceptance. they bought the military, the step down many people here field, but trade by prime minister ham dot, who signed an agreement with the military, giving up a lot of civilian, bowed to the military resistance committees of all c, a groups across many neighborhoods which nominally help organized protests and run civilian life. in practice they increasingly hassle businesses or deny people. water will cooking gas if they so want asking them about it only got us the on so they have in their booklets. so we've, we've spoken to people on some support, the resistance committees, other people say that resistance committees intimidate bullying,

scare people. but you would, you have to say about that. i, can they scan whatever i, some people that just ordinary civilians. they're not related to the military for intelligence agencies. all they do is how quick who can i zation and dialogue? no matter who we asked of people weren't about to speak about the resistance committees on camera. they were fearful live this hard enough at ease, tragically ironic democracy activists have morphed into what they so hated. ham dogs. army some pulled themselves a twisted version. the secret police at once enforced a dictates. his rules are here on the outskirts of cut to leave. some of the most impoverished and the city people who survive 11 meal every 23 days who drink water that is barely fit for capitol hill on the front

lines of the revolution and who the revolution i'm tightly passed by. and so said dawn remains in wretched stacy's chain didn't hunger frozen by corrupt and self serve in elite and held together by a military bed on preventing collapse democratic party alarm bells ringing in the key state of florida. now, for republicans overtook them for the 1st time in modern history in the number of registered voters. ab with next year's crunch, mid term elections looming, then democrats and i wondering how to reversed their historic slide on his kellum open reports simply a matter of mathematics. for the 1st time in modern history, the republican party has more registered voters in florida than the democratic party does. now, local democratic party leaders are at this point, reacting, realizing that something seems to be very wrong. of course,

this price will not be easy, but it's about so much more than any $1.00 of us. and there's florida democrats. we have lost so many times that donors and ponders have given up on us. now florida's governor de santis gave a statement celebrating these new numbers, saying that this shows that the residence of his state reject government control from the democratic party and value liberty as put forward by his administration in florida and by the republicans. now at this point, there is a fear on the part of some figures within the democratic party in florida that national donors to the democratic party is lashing as well as national party leadership will. at this point, consider florida to simply be a red state. they'll consider it to be last territory and, and not really work on fighting for voters in this very important state that has generally been considered a swing state and us presidential elections. it's not as if floridians can't be swayed one way or the other. we need more coordination with the national party. now

this comes amid a drop in the approval ratings of us present, joe biden, at this point, the approval rating of joe biden, when it comes to handling the vital issue of inflation, is pretty low. only 28 percent of americans say he's doing a good job. only 54 percent within his own party. and when it comes to the handling of coven 19 while he still maintains a 53 percent approval rating. that number has dropped 10 percent since july. now at this point, jo biden's approval ratings have been continuing to drop back in march. he was 20 points higher in terms of approval with the us public than he is now. many wonder what the implications could be as the mid term congressional elections are less than a year away. you can prosecute his say, the wife of a us diplomat charged with killing a teenager will face criminal proceedings after all,

answer coolers flipped to america. after her car collided with motorcycle hurry done outside the pentagon, military base and central england correspondent shot the edges dusty as more of the story. what has been over 2 years now since harry don lost his life, but now the family are a step closer to justice. that's his answer coolest. the women accused of killing harry done is due to face criminal proceedings here in the united kingdom early next year. so the 44 year old wife of a u. s. diplomat fled to the united states claim this diplomatic community shortly after the incident that happened on the 27th of august of 2019. she was late to charge with causing death by dangerous driving. but an extra addition request to face the justice system here in the united kingdom was refused. now that refusal initially was made final by the trump administration and later reaffirmed by president joe biden. so it's a monumental moment for the done family who say they're feeling incredibly

emotional and overwhelmed. charlotte done, his mother has read relentlessly. campaigning full such a moment to cobb. in fact, she says all she's ever wanted is for answer coolness to face the justice system. here in the united kingdom, so that time will now come as the case will be heard at westminster magistrates court on january the 18th. next year. we believe and synchronous will be a pairing via video link. and we also have a statement from the crown prosecution service that says, well, the challenges and complexities of these case is now known. we remain committed to securing justice in this matter. but of course, this is a long time it coming now, especially as there's been various twists and turns to this story earlier this year . in fact, it emerged the answer as was working for the intelligence at the time. now that would fundamentally change the principles of this diplomatic immunity, which diplomatic community, by the way, has been controversial from the get go. as it was

a legal loophole which has now been closed under a revised agreement between the united kingdom and the united states. as the answer coolest herself, latest position, her latest public position is that she is currently apologetic and has accepted responsibility for the accident. as i say, this is a huge, a moment for her redone family. all they've ever wanted is to see this moment when an schoolers faces the justice system here in the united kingdom. because what they have always argued that till there's justice only then they will be able to grieve, shudders dashti, they're part of our team in the u. k, and that's our tease world music turned with me. kevin. oh and thanks for your company or next programs in your part of the world coming up after the break. ah, the west relations with russia are at record lows,

and there is no reason to believe this will change any time soon, however, is a grand part impossible as some of suggesting also as a bait of julianna's songs. been c a a with them after it. and so you're watching going underground. 5 years to the day since the un security council adopted resolution to $3.00 to $3.00, reaffirming

a strong commitment to the sovereignty independence, territorial integrity and national unity of africa's richest began to country libya coming up in the show. 10 years after nature destruction and declarations of victory in libya after the murder of leader, mormon gadhafi. could his son safe be elected president? this christmas we talk to mama get out. he's information minister about securing judicial support in the oil rich country for his candidacy and his millions faced humanitarian catastrophe, and displacement in the form of french west african colony of burkina, faso days of countries. prime minister was fired. we investigate the country's assassinated leader, often called africa's che guevara, thomas son kara, all this more coming up in today's going underground. but 1st, this month on christmas eve elections will take place in libya, formerly africa's richest per capita, nation before destruction, by nato nations like britain.
