blue tonight, let's have a potent urges for media talks to stop further, nate to expansion towards russia's borders in a telephone conversation with britons prime minister poorest johnson, amid ongoing speculation over the situation. ukraine and accusations towards russia to a 100 feet dead after tornadoes rip across american states. but the disasters also on the line, the countries deep political divide with some politicians already trying to score points from the tragedy. and the sudanese who say they've been betrayed and had their dreams destroyed. we've a special report into the 1000 strong protests gripping the capital there since october, as coo ah

oh, hello, life. marty international. moscow is kevin over here with our world news at 11. very good evening to you 1st than plenty more potent has held a telephone conversation with britain's prime minister barak johnson with the current global hot topic, the ukraine situational highlight. the present also word from media talks to create a global legal framework to stop further nato expansion towards russia's borders. correspondent daniel hawkins reports. willie talks between the u. k prime minister 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 and 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 incumbent drums on the demarcation line sighting

that is a violation of the men's protocols. which of course, forbid the presence of foreign troops in the breakaway dumbass region and the use of heavy military weaponry are on that demarcation line of vladimir putin pointed out that this use of the weaponry as well as discrimination of russian speakers in ukraine or violations of the minsk protocols, indeed, the biggest concern for the russian president was the increasing presence of nato millet trees nato troops in ukraine, and indeed nato expansion. eastwards that is something that has been a concern for the russian presidents for russia for a number of years, and has often been a spanner in the works. her own improving relations between russia and the west for quite some time. this is the suggestion that vladimir putin are brought to the table in summers of resolving those concerns from both sides. vladimir putin stated the neat, immediately begin negotiations with the aim of work in our precise international

legal agreements that would exclude any further nate expansion, east and the deployment of weapons threatening russia neighboring states, primarily in ukraine. now, the crime prime minister came up things with a slightly different approach, calling russia to reduce tensions from their own side. citing the importance of respecting ukraine's sovereignty and integrity. that, of course, comes sir, as a reference to the alleged build up of russian troops. her own ukraine is border and he did call for dialogue and respectful them. it's protocols from both sides though, but it is clear from miss meeting differences do remain, and 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 issues at the cop 26 and glasgow and did agree that collaboration between moscow and london is crucial to make progress on international issues. so at least some good news, perhaps there are in the run up to christmas. the call between the 2 comes as

moscow criticizes the group of g 7 countries for a statement, warning rusher of severe consequences if it pursues it's supposed military aggression against ukraine. russia should be in no doubt that further military aggression against ukraine would have massive consequences and severe costs in response to cursor trade. shoot me as for the of a round of threats towards russia, warnings or threats. we absolutely understand the position and there is no need to repeat it 10 times. what we would like their position to be more balanced. if we're talking about the need for the escalation, ukraine, we want to see calls for kia to stop their provocative activities on the demarcation line. western media and high ranking senior officials have recently been alleging that moscow's planning and offensive on its neighbor ukraine, citing russian troop movements near the cranium border. the kremlin consistently denied those claims and also notes. it can move its true to wherever it wants to on its own territory. with the foreign ministry spokeswoman adding that ukraine is big

militarized. but going even further to night, germany's foreign minister stating that the russia's newly completed gas pipeline gnawed strain to might not be given the green lights in case of any escalation earlier we spoke to carry can i saw the former foreign minister of austria about many issues including to threats to block that 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 sanctions there's a lot of our unilateral roberts threats around and or the situation is very ambiguous. effect is that contracts 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 operate it, 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 and general, vis always seems to be here a political will to block it. this political blow to blockheads has been rising, was for president trump 20172018 because it had less to do with russia and supply of gas for the europeans. that has always been the case. it had more to do with

grating market for north american and, and she, again, it's more a politic a game and it's a risky game than it really has to do with a 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? bought 3 times as cheap. exactly. this is one aspect and the other one is our gas storage is very tight. it's much below where it should be at this time of the year . there's even talk about temporary capt 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 all quit. you're full, you're right. and if the drama to regulate the abundance that's again tour would have continued its procedures as calculated. still in september at 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 president biden, whether it's different voices 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 had people in office who knew what war meant. unfortunately, we are in times of a decline of diplomacy, diplomatic practice. it's, we are in a world of unilateral statements postal for this up at this om amount of worse. i mean this terminology is kick cannot be continued as, as it has been the case of the last few weeks. and the media should act in a more responsible way of quoting our dis, this john and paper, the dates 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 was my dad's inside natal,

whether it's inside ukraine and prices who are making this unhelpful unit at west 8th mess. devastating storms ripped through central and southern parts of america over the weekend. the state of kentucky suffering the worst damage. the governor there now saying more than 64 people have died while more than a 100 remained missing. president biden's declared a major federal disaster and the state is a satellite images to give you an idea from before and after. in the city of mayfield, more than 100 people were trapped inside a collapse factory building 8 died and the se number is still missing. destruction was also reported in arkansas, missouri, tennessee, and illinois were at least 16 and an amazon warehouse president biden says his administration's ready to do whatever is needed to help those reeling from the devastation a

a worst most devastating, most deadly tornado event in kentucky's history. there's our home town and just devastating. everybody's walls there was were shaking house collapsed in against the where the whole house is buckled all back, sighted at houses off the total devastation for our town. most of our historic buildings are now gone with, [000:00:00;00]

with this is likely to be one of the largest terminated operational history that is asked as highlighted the shop risk between republicans and democrats to with some politicians. similarly, already trying to take advantage of the tragedy. the care and reports on it and cya, towns were destroyed as some 30 powerful tornadoes, ravaged across 6 us dates the worst affected can. saki 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 17th senators who voted against

a bill to provide billions of dollars in relief, will all republicans among them. kentucky's sen, round pole, once again, thousands of 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 help. and most americans, most times they're in need. we know, rand paul is a heartless hypocrite. the people in kentucky deserve the relief, regardless of their buffoon ish leadership. much of the dems done to 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 weather climate change, while the fact 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 the planet and the climate change. and so it seems something as devastating as this can only watch the appetite said i was 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 any time 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 a political posturing for the worst of reason. a disaster is a disaster and it was going to happen regardless. it was gonna happen whether or not we had cap and trade or the new green deal or anything else. i think it also

shows the increasing homer is ation 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 beings, 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 you live without international, the global broadcast coming to from russia on the way. thanks for checking in, by the way to not a surprise in the u. s. state of florida with the number of republicans registered to vote, overtaking democrats for the 1st time in modern history. we look at the caf buffalo with that animal. ah ah, join me every thursday on the alex, simon, she'll. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business,

i'm show business. i'll see you then. hello, driven by tremendous shapes bank, concur, sent those with theirs sinks. we dare to ask for the western relations with russia or at record lows. and there is no reason to believe this will change any time soon, however, is a grand bark, impossible, and some of suggesting also as a bait of julianna's song,

being a, again, our special report, the u ends at void is to dance, as military leaders must rebuild trust with the opposition, especially younger people, many say they feel betrayed bob thomas, co and the rejecting any negotiations with the military r. c, senior correspondent, board garcia, witness 1st and the 1000 strong protests in the capital called to talk to people who say their dreams of a better life have been destroyed at the full version of an exclusive reports available on our youtube channel. but for now is a smaller part of the story. 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

begging 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 sold a sick, wounded disease by years of strife and disappointment. this wasn't what democracy promised. the fall of the dictator law by sheer in 2019 was supposed to harold, a new age for, for god, a transition to a democracy. but the democrat at age of prosperity that millions hopeful has turned into an age of hunger. i'm not mad. i don't know if they're still hopeful 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 of a former regime, 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 in a man called abdallah ham doc, korea bureaucrats, who promised as prime minister to lead the country to democracy. he won the hearts of millions only to break the nfl book, the military intervene, and what some have called a to it arrested prime minister ham dock. in 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 revolutionary lash at any none of those here will go to these protons. 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 glass. we will sit and wait for our deaths here. yet every week, hundreds, sometimes thousands gather across to don and chancellor demands the freedom. food ultimatums. what traditional thursday protest now underway, tires are burning and federal at all. this is how these protest happen. people gather and group several 1000 several 100. in this case, i've written 50 people here. burning ties are the major intersection. their objective is to put this rupture. they're charging now against the military

government who they see as being responsible for the scoop ah, the crowd. these in the 1000 we had seen many small columns, swarming in various neighborhoods before converging here. and what they all want. these were power to be handed over by the military to a civilian government. property. they snub 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, pleading of a lot of civilian, bowed to the military resistance committees of all g, a groups across many neighborhoods which nominally help organized protests and run civilian life. in practice they increasingly hassle businesses or denied 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 and some support the, the resistance committees, other people say that resistance committees, intimidate bullying to scare people. but you would, you have to say about that labor, how can they scale? what's her eyes, people at just ordinary civilians. they're not related to the military, poor intelligence agencies. all they do is how quit hogan 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 like this hot enough at ease, tragically ironic democracy activists have morphed into what they so hated ham dogs . army some pulled themselves twisted version. the secret police at once enforced a dictators rule. ah, here on the outskirts of cut to leave some of the most impoverished and the city people who survive on one meal every 23 days,

drink water that is barely fit for capital who were on the front lines of the revolution and who the revolution entirely passed by and so said don, remains in wretched stacy's chain didn't hunger frozen by corrupt and self serve in elite and held together by a military bent on preventing collapsing, democratic party, alarm bells ringing in the key state of florida. half republicans overtook them for the 1st time in modern history and the number of registered voters. i'm his next year's crunch. midterm elections looming that democrats and i wondering how best to try to reverse their historic slide is kellum open has got the details 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 fight will not be easy, but it's about so much more than any one of us. and it's florida democrats. we have lost so many times that donors and pundits have given up on us. now florida's governor de santis gave a statement celebrating these new numbers, saying that this shows that the residents 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 rational as well as national party leadership will. at this point, consider florida to simply be a red state. they'll consider it to be lost territory and, and not really work on fighting for voters in this very important state that has

generally been considered a swing state and u. s. 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 u. s. president 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, joe biden's approval ratings have been continuing to drop back in march. he was 20 points higher in terms of approval with 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. tonight, you can prosecutors say the wife of

a u. s. diplomat charged with killing a teenager will phase criminal proceedings after all, unsecurely fled to america after her car collided with motorcyclist. hurry done outside of pens again military base and central england. a correspondent shot it was dusty as 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 as unsecured as the women accused of killing harry down 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 claimed 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 trumpet, ministration,

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 come. 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 coming now, especially as there's been various twists and turns to this story earlier this year . in fact, of emerged, the and secured 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 less. 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 harry done. family, all they've ever wanted is to see this moment when and screwed us faces the justice system here in the united kingdom. because what they have always argued that tells us justice only then they will be able to grieve a lot of so tease world news at 11 with me. kevin. oh and thanks for your company. our flagship debate show cross talk is right ahead. ah

ah ah ah oh when i want to so the wrong one, 0 please, just don't hold any you the easiest to shape out. this thing becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart,

we choose to look for common ground. ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, hello and welcome to crosstalk, where all things are considered. i'm funeral about the west relations with russia or at record lows. and there is no reason to believe this will change any time soon, however, is a grand bar impossible as some have suggested also,
