shot dead in the unrest with their bodies being burned. the killings bring the death toll to at least 10 people. as haiti struggles with a 30 percent inflation rate. lucky with the situation here. now we want the government to leave the country. we are buying gasoline and donna $18.00. 11 haitians do not recognize ariel henry. we did not vote for ariel henry. he doesn't have a mandate, nor legitimacy to be where he is. ariel henry became haiti's, acting president after his predecessor was assassinated. his political rivals have accused him of participating in the murder and of being an american puppet after he agreed to take back haitian migrants deported from the u. s. henry himself as appealed for international support and pledge to hold elections earlier, we spoke with the leader of the alternative socialist party and haiti, who thinks haiti needs new elections. we are having the very serious, a very strong public proposal to solve the transition. he made that with the so

called montana agreement, the montana agreement, it was an agreement built by the civil society by most of the political parties at this, the most relevant, relevant. we did a serious agreement and we did inside that agreement, we had an election, a very fair democratic and consensual election. and they are trying to ignore re, you know, why, because it is haitian because it is from did inside do they would lag ladder to web solution coming back in the pocket of a b b head from the international community. the so could call group and say, and that is impossible. malnutrition and hunger have risen by almost a 3rd in africa in 2 years, according to the latest report from the international monetary fund. according to the i, m. f in 2022, about 123000000 people will suffer from malnutrition. another warning comes from

the international committee of the red cross, which has emphasized that hunger problems long predate the ukraine conflict. moscow was long advocated for humanitarian aid for countries in need and even signed a deal with key f to ship grain to african countries. over the majority of a serial has gone to wealthy western countries instead and says, the west continues to allocate and billions of dollars in aid with ukraine. smithson, b 222000000 people already as an extreme risk in the horn of africa region with around 10000000, chattering, yusef, who is the i see, sions for africa. thanks for joining us on the progress of the impact of the food, secure cells and the worst cells in africa. it's increasingly worrying to see trends that become quite reversible in places that i've seen. no rain or varies very strong deficit in range like in somalia. more like in areas like the horn of africa, different democratic republic of congo,

but also the sa head when wars and violence are truly the major reasons of this increasing alarming food insecurity. so the ice or sheet together with its partners of the red cross and red crescent national societies that work indeed in their countries. i've increased our we've increased our food assistance cash support for areas with functioning margins. when we also work to strengthen people's resilience name, the farmers on hers providing them with every culture of support and others. but i think what we also are trying to do, and with results, is to work with states with the african union and internal international financial institutions like the african development bank or the world bank to strengthen food systems and agriculture systems. for these systems to be strengthened before the next credit bill, the next man i've tracy's, and that the stein but also needs investment from all these actors in

a concerted effort or to regions of africa would you say, have been, had, have been hit hardest by the food crisis and why so under the business of the different criteria that international actors, including states as well, have looked into the sa hill and the horn of africa, maybe somalia, curiosity, don, retreat up as being the hardest hit by this crisis when we shouldn't forget countries like the democratic republic of congo that i mentioned earlier, can yeah, north of kenya, which indeed politically is stable but, and it's ne, is people are people are living in atrocity because of the good crisis. and because of the difficulty to cope with such magnitude of a problem. well, according to the i, c, r. c, president warnings about this looming food crisis and african countries had been issued law think that the situation is still deteriorate. to suffix advised malia if european sudan or in my little book, you know, from

a report on food security for 2022. this shows 39000000 people were pushed into attitude food insecurity. that adds 40000000 to the statistics that we've seen in 2022. and i think the combined impact of on conflict. economic issues like the in ramping inflation across sub saharan africa, but also the political environment as well as the climatic sharks are unfortunately showing a perfect storm that needs indeed an international effort, but also a local effort to integrate locals resources and solving local problems. and that requires indeed african solutions to african problems with the help of the international community. and what parts of specifically the ukraine crisis do you think have contributed to this worsening food insecurity in africa? you know, the international war and ukraine is driving, indeed a spike in global foot and fuel prices due to a combination of

a viable loss available transport routes for the harvest. the but also an uncertainty about future harvest, the fries and effect of sanctions. secondary impact, the financial markets, and the business, among other reasons. and this came indeed at a time and just mentioned the statistics from the global foot report that the cost of living everywhere had already increased. um, i think increased price is globally even mean means a decrease and remittances from abroad to those economies that really rely on them . and this deals with demands a true tailored response. targeting goes at most wrist. i think the latest from, from ukraine, the ship that as dr. injury booty, that indeed will hopefully feed the needs in, if your can in g booty is indeed commendable, but truly not efficient. not enough because of the magnitude of the issues that we

face in africa was saying on the subject of ukraine. i mean, much was heralded about the ukraine grain deal when it was brokered and how it would help ease the food crisis in africa. but we're seeing a lot of ships going elsewhere. why is that? do you think? i think the needs are everywhere. again, man, we keep putting food on people's plates is not the solution for today. this will certainly save people's lives. but what if we are truly and reasonably serious about finding short and long term solution is by investing heavily in the agricultural sector in the food production sector in the seed multiplication facilities. it's indeed by joining hands with the private sector development actors international financial institutions and state themselves to find these solutions. and we are indeed engaged with the african development bank with the as off process,

the development, the world bank, and so many other development edgy agencies who indeed understand today that we need to maximize that impact, namely in areas affected by on conflicts. which as a reminder, your audiences are the most affected by the food prices. so being serious requires concerted efforts. more people around the table, including those beneficiaries of the services to help us detect what kind of plans are necessary to tackle today's food problem. or what other humanitarian challenges is the car or is the continent facing right now, and how do they tie into that food crisis that we've been discussing? well indeed, if you look at statistics over 25 countries today are bleeding, are in context of on conflicts of violence, of continued internal displacement. you know, when people in this space, internally they become, they don't become agents of change,

they don't become an agent of positive change. that's why the icbc and its partners from the national societies of red cross and the red crescent movement on working at the community level to see, to listen 1st and to devise the responses that they require either mit my freakonomics initiatives, either bigger projects that think system strengthening, like on the health and water sector will now to day focused on the food food crisis . but around it, there is a multitude of other programs of social services that lead people to require a need today in order to overcome that fragility, that they're li, big as we speak. what russia for its part says it's ready to have it ready and willing to help african countries, but the sanctions, western impose sanctions against russia are preventing it from doing that. so how valuable do you think that help that russia wants to render could be for africa you know,

sent sanctions are to regularly employed by states in order to add pressure on a particular government or certain individuals. the imposition of sanctions is a political decision, but one that can also have serious you any getting consequences which must be taken into account. so an as an independent, an impartial, neutral organization. we always have concerns over the humanitarian consequences of sanctions, as they may adversely affect the humanitarian situations. states indeed we decide to in both sanctions, must consider humanitarian. the you only did in results of these sanctions and the consequences of populations. so considerations of humanity must be prioritized and states must indeed take steps such as humanitarian exemptions to mitigate any negative impact for the delivery of impartial, mutual humanitarian action in the future. all right, patrick, use f r i. c r. c's, director of operations for africa. thanks joining us in the program. thank you very

much for having me. at least 10 people have been killed in ethiopia, northern tie, gray region and to air strikes on wednesday morning as violence has resumed after a 5 month lull. the drone attack hit a residential area in the regional capital of mckelly. at least 13 people were also injured. armed conflict between the federal government and the ty, gray people's liberation front began in 2020 the ty gray and rebels, accused soldiers from neighboring, a retreat of joining ethiopian government forces in a coordinated defensive. the recent attack follows an air strike that had a kindergarten in late august, which killed several children. samuel get at you was a journalist and an independent analyst who says that residential areas are coming under attack. the chopin government is husband insisting from the gate or that it's fighting a terrorist entity into gray. they're trying to root out a terrorist organization that they say is and will be destroying ethiopia,

if not content. and the t p a left has been saying that the yorba government is trying to eliminate their leadership, st. open government as i choosing them was trying to come back. you have to know that you can never was in government for, for many years or for 27 years, including a government, a coalition government that was led by them. they cope and government has been saying they're taking actions against the t p. a left interest. because they think some of the weapons, some of the trainings are happening in this neighborhood, but the t p left is saying that's not true. that's not happening in this neighborhoods. up to half a 1000000 people have died from war and famine in ethiopia, tiger region. over the past 16 months, the united nation says that 5200000 people need emergency food assistance in the countries northern regions. nearly 2600000 people have been displaced with some

forced into neighboring countries. the humanitarian catastrophe has received little international attention as the world focuses on the ukraine conflict. this is alarmed a number of international groups, including the world health organization. the woodland can do this, it has the means or is as the will it came together to weeks ago and did a very good job in helping ukraine to export its grains. okay, that's a good job. but why can't we also push as a global community? so that the 6000000 people can get put to it. medicines to be treated in telecom, talked to their people bank to access their money and media so that they can speak, and then the wooded can know about they're,

they're problems. samuel get at you again says the conflict will have long lasting consequences and may drag the entire region into chaos. you know, this conflict once again, i can't a highlighted enough hallmark. it has truly of faith that if you're not just in the to gray region, but i'm car enough far and far beyond, there are no minutes of people not and even the u. n. has been saying they don't have the resources to really help us. if you're a goes back to me or of, you know, conflicts, famine, if you don't stop, well, if you don't slow down this conflict in ethiopia, it's truly change the region. because utopia has a population of at least 115000000 people in what happens in the tilbury truly affects its neighboring nation. the hybrid regime of electoral autocracy. that's how you, law makers have described budapest,

constitutional and electoral systems. hungarian foreign minister didn't pull any punches, a lamentable fees at that case. i think the well paid members of the european parliament would do much better to deal with the real problems in europe. for example, they could spend their salaries on helping the people of europe and its economy after energy prices in europe tripled or quadrupled as a result of the sanctions regime. not only that, they should rather be concerned with how to get europe out of recession, how to get euro out of high inflation, how to get europe out of high energy prices. when the whole policy of sanctions was started in brussels with a strong support and inspiration of the european parliament, the promise was that it will bring us closer to a solution. in contrast, the war has been going on for more than half a year, and the people of europe are finding themselves in an increasingly difficult situation because of high energy prices and inflation. so it would be good if the european parliament were to address this issue and not repeat all kinds of

unfounded accusations against hungary on the europe in unions, budget commission is considering stripping hungry of 70 percent of its funding over transparency concerns. the country is anti migrant and conservative policies have caused displeasure with the block for some time along with its position on the ukraine conflict. 433. you legislators now claim that the country has violated democratic principles since 2018 years. once again, the country's foreign minister, my dear emerick, the hungarian people have now clearly decided in for parliamentary elections in a row. what kind of future there warrant for the country? and we resend that some people and stroudsburg and brussels think that the hungarian people are not mature enough to decide their own future. and where is said that they are interfering in trying garam people's decisions. it is the democratic, constitutional right of the hungarian people to decide on the future of the country and hungarian people have clearly done so,

and we reject any slandering mildness democrats. earlier we spoke with political analyst nicholas markovich, who said that the e use attempts to dictate rules are undemocratic in themselves. any state which stairs has a specific use, whether they be for religious cultural, historical reasons is out of line compared with brussels today. brussels is an authoritarian regime. this is, was hypocritical in and then the current situation is that brussels is having the attitude of an authoritarian regime, telling countries what, how they, mr. that they're there, they're judges what type of lands they're allowed to, to farm or not, or what the positions must be concerning. russia and other countries. so the, what marriage is supposed to be. so the european union is dictating to the different member states, what they should think, what they should do. and then the european union is telling the people who have been quoted for by the people that they are not democracies. this is this, this is

a conundrum which is actually very scary because if an a 3rd turn state is starting to decide what the democracy is than all democracies are in danger, especially those in the european union. of course, that's the news for this. our stick around for more in just about 30 minutes. ah, ah.

official, kevin, it's media trolls have made much of the recent counter offensive. however, they're gleeful backing of ukraine has demonstrated beyond a doubt. this is a nato war on russian. the stakes could not be higher. one side will lose and badly . with awe, unit 731,

did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to prisoners who were tied to steaks in a field. mm. we have evidence that they gave disease infected chocolates to children. i plead guilty to having exercise to direct guidance of preparations for conducting biological warfare, chiefly against the soviet union. biological bombs were to be dropped on vladivostok, but a shill of about of jetta and blood go. visions, tribunal transcript, general yamato otto commander in chief japanese quantum army. ceramic bombs containing typhoid and cholera and anthrax. what will so shuttle you seize,

brainchild me today. you will then level russia no nothing to do.
