more polarized and politicized in the west, this conflict is black and white, which of course is done on purpose a was all with with you is with you. i am with

with full credit, got to boot from beach. still easy for this patient, but i to in the board with a with

ah, i'm as soon as you're watching going underground, despite efforts by so called democratic nations to banality around the world, coming up with a show war. what is it good for with thousands now? reportedly dead following russia's invasion of ukraine. we ask the co founder of grassroots ante warren geo code pink about the road to peace and delay is deaf says the un secretary general. antonia gutierrez, who claims he has never seen a report like it when it comes to the 6 id cc assessment report, warning that we are approaching irreversible global climate catastrophe. we speak to one of its office, all of them all coming up and today's going underground. but 1st, today, the international court of justice is holding initial hearings in a case brought by ukrainians. rush rover accusations of genocide. ukraine is looking to establish that russian claims that its neighbor has committed acts of genocide in the hands can don't yet sca false and that therefore russia cannot

legally claim to be intervening to prevent or punish you. crane this is u. k. p. morris johnson accuses russia of committing war crimes. joining me now from miami, florida is madame benjamin, the co founder of grassroots auntie warren geo code. think. thank you so much for coming back on. you know you been campaigning against nature wars for decades? do you think vladimir putin is actually now united the world behind nato, nato, the organization that you've been so critical of for years? absolutely. we were looking forward to the june meeting in nato that is happening in madrid, organizing around it, saying, you know, this is the time to really take the air out of nato to show that after afghanistan in the fiasco there. nieto is really an aggressive military alliance. that is looking towards china now and saying that china is a threat and really is, is looking for a purpose. and thanks to booting now,

nato has its purpose. it's more united than ever. we were criticizing action so much how the u. s. was pushing the nato countries to fulfill the goal of spending 2 percent of their gross domestic product on military. and so many of our friends in the nato countries were fighting that and saying, no, we need that money at home. and suddenly that's all vanished into thin air. and those nato countries have and now announced huge increase in military spending. so this is a huge tragedy for the people of your crane and for the entire world. anybody who thought we might get a peace dividend after afghanistan has now been all of our hopes. dashed, thanks to put in the aggression on ukraine. why though, do you believe it's impossible for the media in nature? countries not to realize that this war is actually been going on for 8 years.

the media has no historical memory and really is always in the west, ready to criticize those that they see is the enemy. and let's also face it. i mean, we have in the u. s. anti war movement been pushing the media to cover the war in yemen, the disastrous war that's been going on for 7 years. in fact, we had a protest outside the headquarters in washington, d. c, c n n. and saying, what about the m and more we want to see that coverage. we want to hear about it. we want to understand, well, why the u. s. continues to supply weapons to saudi arabia that are killing children every day in yemen. so the media has not been very objective about covering wars,

but i am glad that they are covering this war and ukraine. people have to see how horrific war is, and maybe don't understand that all war is horrible. well, joe biden has previously expressed disquiet about the weapon sales by the united states. obviously, not so much to squint here in britain for its role in the eman warren cnn probably say, well, that's a nato ally, area europe. this is why news from ukraine. let's take precedence over a wall where the u. n says 377000 have been killed in recent years in yemen. unfortunately, the u. s. government and the biden administration says that it's going to stop, hold off fence and weapon sales to the saudis. but what does that mean? it doesn't mean anything. the u. s. is still involved in the war in yemen. and i want to mention afghanistan, because i'm just heartbroken that after 20 years of nato militarism in afghanistan

with this horrific exit, the african and people's money has been stolen by mostly the united states. $7000000000.00. and that's one of the poorest countries in the world. and so we are working hard to get that money back to the afghan people. and we're also very concerned about the sanctions on russia hurting ordinary people because we've seen that's what sanctions around the world do. they affect the entire economy and who is it who is impacted the most? it is working people. we seem for 60 years, how the u. s. has imposed horrific sanctions on cuba. it hasn't changed the cuban government, but it's closed such hardship for the cuban people. yeah, but the united states, as it's fighting terrorism, obviously in yemen, you don't have to be a major general or a person in power in nature. countries to say, all of russia must be punished, it's sad, but they just have to be punished as regards them. well,

perhaps even food, you know, when it comes to the invasion. well, that's just wrong. i mean, ordinary people have no say over their government, look at the thousands of very brave people who are coming out on the streets in russia to protest. there was governments war and say not in our name, and those people should not be hurt by it. so sanctions are a kind of economic warfare and unfortunately, they don't hurt the people in power. i think it's fine to go after the oligarchs in russia take their yachts. take your mansions, please do, but don't impose sanctions that are going to make people have a difficult time putting food on their plates or getting medicines. yeah, i think you've campaign before against russian, all the gods before the current sudden decision by everyone to realize the money was stolen from the russian people. what do you think of the arguments though, as you, as you talk about peace made in russian,

russian think tank circles and people who pro kremlin saying, you know, russia did sort of piece and the going to carry back between now media as a by john, in georgia in syria after all the u. s. interventions. this is just merely trying to could secure peace in ukraine after the killing of 14000 people in the some provinces is a piece operation. oh, come on. when you see hundreds of thousands of people living. when you see that kind of destruction that's going on, this is not a piece of variation. this is an offensive illegal invasion of another sovereign country. it is absolutely wrong. and i think all peace activist, those of us who stand up against the invasion of iraq against the invasion of afghanistan, those of us who stand up against the u. s. supplying of weapons to dictatorships, like egypt or the israeli apartheid regime. we have to be consistent and we have to

be against this invasion as well. i call on all peace activists or people who are just a peace loving people throughout the world to get around the streets and to join in demonstrations. and in our actions, we say withdraw the russian troops, we say see fire. now we also say no nato expansion, because we think that the absolutely essential when it comes to the negotiating table and there are ongoing negotiations and there have to be more what is going to be compromised between the 2 sides. on the u. s. nato side, there has to be a compromise that says we will not allow ukraine to be part of nato. i wish that there were people now like in the, by the ministration saying that i wish they would be saying we've got to get serious about nuclear weapons. in the world that should be terrified right now. that brushes nuclear weapons are on high alert, but it should also be

a moment where we say, why haven't we force the world and the world leaders who have nuclear weapons to comply with their obligations. there now is a nuclear band treaty at the united nations, and this should be a moment where we say we demand as a community of people who do not want to see our globe annihilated by nuclear weapons. that there be a serious end to nuclear weapons by all the nuclear states when the russia was saying that the ripping up of some of those nuclear gorgeous part of the reason for the invasion, which as you say, and as the un secretary general says, is inexcusable. or was he israel would you mentioned that denies isn't about, i'd say, despite whatever and yours like yourselves around this international say actually come to think of it. what did you think of israel voting with the u. s. at the un general assembly, the u. s. i don't know when the last time the u. s. has paid attention to the un general assembly, but what did you think of israel voting with the us about how this occupation

should be deplored? well, of course they always vote with the us, but there certainly is also a moment to talk about the invasion and occupation of other people's lands. we have to look at the railways actions for decades now in palestine. and it's interesting that so many in the social media are putting out videos that show the tremendous repression and, and beating, and explosions, and the west bank and comparing it to what the russians are doing. we think this is a time where all aggression should be exposed. and i only hope that as we work towards demanding negotiations in a settlement, in the case of ukraine, that we also look at ongoing work in other places and demand the same thing an end to war. why do you think the boycott davis when sanctions movement failed when it

comes to the illegal occupation in palestine mandated under un, is elisha allen yet. and as we know from the cultural sector, which is being mand across europe, and in nato countries, from russia, it seems to work almost instantly in a football match. it no longer is considered wrong to put the ukraine flag on the pitch. whereas once it was wrong to put the palestinian flag on a football pitch to express. so yes, we are find it very hypocritical that there has been so many attacks on the b b. s . movement in the western countries saying that it is not fair to attack the entire country of israel that that's anti semitic. and then suddenly it's ok to attack people who want to compete in the special olympics as if those people had something to do with pollutants invasion. so there's a lot of hypocrisy on all sides, but let me be clear, i think that it is

a positive thing that the world community is coming together and saying stop this invasion, looking at ways that we can through non violence. i look at the way that the russian people came and stopped the tanks from a getting into the largest nuclear plant in europe, that's in ukraine. and that was quite inspirational. and i think it would be wonderful if people in neighboring countries rose up non violently and went to the borders around russia. and i demanded an end to the fighting. just as people are reaching out to all of those refugees who so deserve our support. and speaking of refugees, so do all refugees deserve our is for support, whether they are coming from country where people have white, skin and blonde here, or they're coming from countries in africa or their country coming from countries

on the southern border here in the united states. where they have been ripped apart from their willis and at times put in cages, we should welcome all refugees who are fleeing from violence. yeah. as regards the tanks by the nuclear facility, getting there, answer the questions in ukraine. but as far as we hear from authorities in the use of the said, but these are refugees, the, the ones of different colors are migrants. yes, it's a horrible separation to make. and i think the world has seen the terrible racism from the people of color in ukraine that have had such a hard time leaving the country. but i think it also does show the piracy of making it so difficult for people of color who try to flee, even in the case of afghanistan, where you would think that the u. s. and all the nato countries would feel a tremendous obligation to take people from afghanistan in the immediate aftermath

of the withdrawal. and they said they were going to, but then they've gone back on their promises and it's become very difficult for afghans who worked with the nato forces to even leave the country. but they have been doing that the bleakest warning yet on climate change that is close to irreversible. we talk to an i v c. c author about the latest reported to how humanity may and even if there isn't nuclear war, all of them all can. we have about 2 of going underground ah ah,

ah, with welcome back to the industry leaders and government officials are meeting with the start of the annual 5 day serra week energy conference with you as climate envoy, john kerry, and ceo's of exxon mobil and chevron schedule to speak this days after the release of the new i b. c. c. report that examines how humanity is entering uncharted territory in the climate crisis. joining me now from cape town to discuss that report is one of its alters. looks on voc go, thanks so much luck on for coming on. you know, obviously here in your people are talking about babs, no immediate deliverable future on this continent. i know you specialized in africa, but that how rapidly closing is the window to secure

a livable future as it says in the latest idea z assessment. first, i think maybe to just give him a big grant on the key findings from a recent report. these attorneys accumulative and if evidence and he's an equal for cow and cummins charges that threat to humanity and tay human or being and a we have very limited and the rapidly closing window and to see how rapidly closer to zoom into that. i would say the tend to act is now, so i can give you like the exact time, but we, the time for the global to act is now now or never. of course, of course, this is nadia when they have said that if not they have said that before. i mean

share prices, booming and weapons companies. there's all the talk of world war 3 is a difficult for the i, b c. c. and it's also us to get this information out there in the media. this time . i think our assessment in a piece is the we are only so informative and well, no, not policy, prescriptive. so our hope is that the government will check the message to the people, the governments will take action at all levels. so we hope that he. ready also in every day planning decision making, the governments are going to consider these 50 findings for my pc. so the report says, no region inhabited by humans will be unaffected. up to 3600000000 people are now vulnerable. i mean, climate change this here will kill wound or displace people. i mean the anger

anderson of the you in environmental program saying it's already upon us raining down, blows on billions of people. yeah, that's true and say one thing to one key important thing to notice in the distribution of the impact is an event. so it all depends on how regions are moving peek to adapt. but i can, i can give the exact number of the people that are going to be displayed, but what the climate change is doing is increasing the possibilities of these migrations of these movements. oil that i thought it or that her directly from, from the environment. so i can give the exact numbers by t as, as it is now every jellies days and a thread. but a, how creek are we're moving in to egg or to decide would depend on woo, actually, to to mines or how vulnerable regions to the climate change. other many

enemies of the i p. c. c in africa. are there any vested interests against the i p c. c? and what this report says about what needs to be done. i can't say they're enemies, but i couldn't speak of opportunities that are coming up or from this report. as it says, there's so many opportunities in our, the next us between an edge developed man, a war to issues, image issues. so i think to africa this report is presenting another opportunity for many did lemon sectors. and t is take orders to come together to make sure that her people are acting immunities. so yeah, a speak move for opportunities that are presented. okay, you don't want to talk about, you don't want to talk about the enemies with the i,

b, c. c report, this latest one says forget any idea of mirrors in the sky to deflect sunshine of machines to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. those technological means are not going to save the human race. it is going to be, as you say, so socioeconomic restructuring, and societal restructuring of how humans deal with each other. i can't dismiss that technology, but in every, every step, every action is important towards the juicy, or the extent of this impact. so any action or inaction towards that you see that impact of climate change is welcome and day. that's what this report, what is telling us that well, no, it is not actually legislate isn't saying that is it at all. it saying specifically that some technological or ways to stop climate change

a wrong test. so in the report, i would want to wait in and say, and i think the, the report is there are many technological, her developments that her being in place or that are being proposed by a stick or dies bay guffman that are making sure that we move towards that if you're seeing and the global warming to $1.00. so every action is, is very important, empty we now i 5 we, we won't be very clear where we're 1.5. the report says, the earth can only survive $1.00 for a very short period could be retrievable. but even at 1.5, just for a medium term, it will trigger feedback loops with sure could i suppose. and the human race, i would say right now if in, at $1.00 and from many african perspective we are facing

a orange of ah impacts that are causing so much damage is less than damage to our economies to our society. so i am, we said to make sure that t we eggs now to avoid day are the possibilities of reaching 1.5 or to a degree. so that's why we are calling to we are calling us to court as and, and governments in particular to act now. but from what you're saying, then there's no difference really from the last to says what? i mean, the secretary general says delay is death and he hasn't read a report like this. we are saying we've got to act now. they've been saying go to act now for for years there's no difference. and obviously, every time the i p c. c, releases a report. the temperature goes up. every time, every cop summit, the temperature goes up. i mean, is it time to abolish the i, b,

c, c of it? all it can say is we have to act now in this kind of watery language. no, that's why i said it's not all doom and grandma in my 1st line because it is. and if evidence is presenting to us that of course they are watching what i call challenges or impacts that i'd gotten from the increase for me. but the, they are big takeaways where the well, these adapting. but what we are saying right now is that it is speedy at which we are adapting is not a matching a twitter. the climate is moving. so the idea now or the way forward is to a tab or in a much increase a rate than what a, than what our country's doing right now. so i think that that's

a big takeaway in the say, a very big statement in terms of giving hope to, to the people of african, to the world. there, there are food banks here in london, 40000000 need food stamps in the united states to eat tonight. how prepared is africa to cope with the, as it says in the report, the health problems, the homelessness, the disease that we will expect as these temperatures rise, i would say for africa, considering that we are hosting the 27 this year. we are hoping that a, the message to move forward will move towards the increasing or climate adaptation. we share in africa. we are already adapting, but we hope to increase or to increase the pace at which the economies of countries adoptee. but a yeah, of course a to key sectors such as the hills, the food sector, the order sector are right now,

facing most plans from climate change and day. many, many africans of african citizens. they're facing foot foot, switch it. so she begins and moving forward with my t because i better by fed that t as interests were me productivity. i mean, aggregate productivity, which is a key factor to, to, to the african economy will be affected. so we hope that the, the action or the time for gen african government would be now, do you expect more environmental catastrophes or whether it be fires, hurricane psych loans before cop $27.00 in november in egypt. i can, i can give you specific number of extra fees that we are expecting, but the, the uncertainty is very high. right now. i can give you, i'm in from experience, have kept on browse that pleasant for 3 years. we had recent dead flies in zimbabwe,

more than big bay and floods intake and give you the also it is in floods, infinity go. so yeah, they are, they are most of that entities in their high chance that ah, we might be a visa or climate impacts. i mean browse floods in. ready the coming years ago, but i can say the exact number, i mean before, like a prince of it, like sort of go thank you and that's it for the show. we will be back on wednesday when the un security council is scheduled to hold an informal session discussing that latest i. p. c. c report until and keep in touch viola, social media. if it's available in your country, it may not be if you live in europe and let us know what you made if the new i p c . c report, also remember going underground is always available to watch at r t dot com ah.

in russia, special military operation in ukraine continues. this is widely agreed upon beyond media reporting on this conflict could not be more polarized and politicized in the west. this conflict is black and white, which of course is done on purpose. i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to trace truck, rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with

with the russian defense ministry claims documents following during a military operation show ukraine was allegedly developing biologic and weapons with us help also ahead a take enough money, you know the fees are you really like that i know the latest attempt to evacuate people from the city of mario pole in southeastern ukraine. once again ends in failure with local stuff can a blockade and fearing for their lives and your computer will. it would you need to do it by the way. we're going to show, well it.
