and aids. india is in favor of expand and cooperation and building confidence among the shanghai co operation organization member states. the past pandemic and the crisis in ukraine have caused serious disruptions in serious global supply chains. and the whole world is thus facing an energy and food crisis of unprecedented proportions. therefore, the shanghai co operation organization needs to make efforts to develop reliable and diverse supply chains. in our region, the world is in a state of turbulence. and in the face of these challenges, we need to strengthen our unity regard. it is necessary to strengthen mutual support jointly strengthen and develop efforts to ensure security and jointly resist attempts by external forces to interfere in the internal affairs of the shanghai co operation organization member states that shanghai corporation organization today unites 20 countries with a combined population of 3 and a half 1000000000 people, which is half of the world. literally, it is a superpower that just can not be ignored. and earlier and friday was announced

that the process started to include 5 more stay, same, to the as seo under the status of a dialogue. partners and at 1st actually say a at the current summit is a lot to, bout showed and they to the outside world that the countries all of the, as he oh, i spent in together following hard years of the been dam make and are ready to work closely to achieve their mutual goals. at least 10 people have been killed in ethiopia, northern tie, gray region and to air strikes this week, as violence has resumed following a 5 month low. the drone attack hit a residential area in a region in the regional capital of mckelly. at least 13 people were also wounded. the armed conflicts between the federal government and the ty, gray people's liberation front began in 2020. the rebels accused soldiers from neighboring eritrea of joining ethiopian government forces in a coordinated offensive. the recent attack follows an air strike that hit

a kindergarten in late august, the killed several, several children, journalist and independent analysts, samuel get a to says the residential areas are increasingly 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 left has been saying that the, the open government is trying to eliminate their leadership, st. open government as i choosing them last trying to come back. you have to note that you can never was in government for, for many years, or 27 years, including in a government, a coalition government that was led by them. they cope and government has been st. they're taking auctions again in the t p and left interest because they think some of the weapons, some of the trainings are happening in this neighborhood. but the top 10 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 as ty, gray region. over the past 16 months, the united nation says that 5200000 people need emergency food assistance in the countries northern regions and nearly 2600000 people have been displaced with some forced into neighboring countries. the humana, tearing catastrophe, has received little international attention. as the world focuses on the ukraine conflict, the world health organization is among those that have raised concerns. the world can do this. it has the means or is as the world came together 2 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, to talk to their people bank to access their money and media so that they can speak and that the woodland can know about their, their problems. samuel get a chew again, says that the conflict will have long lasting consequences and may drag the entire region into chaos. you know, this conflict once again, i can't highlight it enough whole much. it has truly update that if you're not just in the to gray region, but i'm far enough far and far beyond. there are no minutes of people. and even the u. n has been saying they don't have the resources to really help them. us, you feel like it goes back to me or of conflicts of famine. if you don't

stop, if you don't slow down this conflict any till it you a truly change the region because you tilt it has a population of at least 115000000 people in what happens in the till back to the affects its neighboring nation escalating cross border clashes between these central asian republic of kurdistan and neighboring tajikistan have left at least 18 soldiers wounded. initial reports of the fighting emerged earlier this week with kirk used border guard, saying to jake forces occupied firing positions at a disputed part of the frontier. in violation of previous agreements, moscow has expressed willingness to help resolve the issue is between 2 former soviet republics within russia's traditional sphere of influence. and of course, this is a developing story and will keep you updated on the details as they become available to us. when we get those in other news, america's antique china stance is highlighted in

a new bill that could radically reshape washington's tie. one policy if adopted the u. s. would interact with the islands authorities, like a recognized government and provide more financial aid. china's foreign ministry said the move would escalate tensions between beijing and washington. shoot on to the bill seriously breeches the u. s. commitment to china on the taiwan question and violates the one china principal. it constitutes interference in china's internal affairs violates international law and basic norms. international relations ended sans is seriously wrong signal to tie one in japan, the separatist forces chinese firm. we post to this and has launched a serious petition to the west side in b with more on the bill and the current state of us china relations hears artes caleb pump. and now you would think that with tensions rising in the pacific, all parties involved would be doing everything possible to de escalate the situation. however, that does not seem to be the case. we have

a new bill passing for the senate foreign relations committee, and that bill is seen as a rather intense escalation with china. it provides a $6500000000.00 to taiwan in military aid. it names taiwan is a major, non nato us ally and it expedite arm sales to the government on taiwan. now there were 5 senators who did oppose the bill. the most vocal of them was us senator rand paul, of kentucky. this is not a time to radically changed logs, timing policy without an appreciation of the consequences that may follow. now this 5 senators were out voted and it appears this bill is moving ahead. it is laughed the senate foreign relations committee now to be up to the rest of the u. s. congress to determine whether or not they want to pass it into law. and then joe biden will have to decide whether or not to sign it. now it meeting is taking place of the 5 eyes and this meeting,

you can bet we'll have beijing on the agenda. now the meeting is taking place at an unnamed location. probably a luxury resort, somewhere in new zealand in which security in the pacific region is being discussed . and a number of us officials are playing up the idea of tension with china, of opposition to china. we have the head of the u. s. naval command, talking about how a major focus of u. s. policy needs to be opposing beijing in the southern hemisphere. we can say plainly that the united states has neglected its relationship in the south pacific amour, accounting for not by engaging more deeply. the hoping concerning options by the people's republic of china have in the region, including the secret security arrangement with the solomon islands that i've been concerning for the united states of america. and i think a concerning, also for new zealand as well as states is also talking about putting pre emptive sanctions on chinese officials in order to deter military action against the island

of taiwan. we also have other calls from us officials for more sanctions and more efforts to curb asians influence around the world. now, many are looking at shina and admiring the great restraints that the country has shown. when nancy pelosi visited the island of taiwan that was largely seen as a provocation. many are now wondering how far the united states intends to go in trying china's patients on this issue and others. it's adding an extra $6000000000.00 to over the heavily armed taiwan. and it means that we are of a signal to china that we're preparing for war against to. so it's a very dangerous situation. it's an escalation and anybody's terms. what it is is using the taiwanese people bursting there is having china, an angry reaction, which of course, they will, it's actually interference in the southern part of chinese territory. but like the

people of the crane, the united states wants to use the people of the taiwan as pawns. and it's dragging other countries into it as well in the periphery to, to the area into heighten tension. that's where the pressure comes on and to claim that they will defend taiwan when it's actually american aggression board. or mr. question against china, which is the problem is a pucker see, the greatest white patients have taken to the streets after the government raised fuel prices, leaving many people in fear that an already dire economic situation is getting worse. haitian authorities have announced the gas prices would more than double to raise funds for the government. and the news sparked riots across the country, which is already in the grip of gang related violence. 2 journalists have been shot dead in the unrest with their bodies being burned. those killings have now brought

the death toll to at least 10 people of haiti struggles with a 30 percent inflation rate. that's with us with the situation here. now we want the government to leave the country. we are buying gasoline, a dollar 18 dollars. and haitians do not recognize ariel henry, we did not vote for ariel. henry doesn't have a mandate, nor legitimacy to be where he is. aerial, henry became haiti's, acting president. last year, 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 has appealed for international support and pledged to hold elections. earlier we spoke with the leader of the alternative socialist party in haiti who thinks that the country desperately needs new elections. we are having the very serious a very strong corporate proposal to solve the transition 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 bodies at this the most relevant, relevant we did 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 these haitian, because it is from the inside do they would lie ladder to have a 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. the european commission president says the you should have taken a queue from poland and the baltic states when it comes to countering russia. one lesson from this war, as we should have listened to those who now putin,

we should have listened to the voices inside our union in poland, in the baltics. they have been telling us for years that putin would not stop. and they acted accordingly. poland and the baltic states have been at the forefront of opposition to moscow. on monday russians will no longer be able to use shen getting visas to enter their countries, and they are no longer granting russians tourist visas restrictions are to be imposed on the russian language. despite those countries hosting numerous russian speaking communities, while soviet era memorials to those who fought against fascism and the 2nd world war are being torn down across the baltic states. the same time processions and lot via and estonia in honor of nazi assess divisions continue. earlier we spoke to an expert in geo politics and the head of the euro continent think tank, who says poland and the baltic states are dancing to washington's tune when it

comes to russia. funder lion is stressing this serve. a statement is just taking the position of the muster extremist member states war against russia. under the result, you will be a more or a disagreement, even member state, even if it, why not to, to demonstrate it in public. because you have a poland and but kick states who are playing over american card. uh they, they want to, at their ranch, is to agenda against russia on they want to use the european union as a, as a front to organization against russia. and also to cause you announcement to ukraine on the carver is on a friend fluence against russia, or so adverb, or which is in phase we've american interest, which ones too, or a torpedo, any cooperation between new e u and on russia. and oh,

so we couldn't russia in the long term, but so member states disagree with poland and a bike states because they've done once this situation to be aggravated. under francis fisher and italy are not keen to enlarge you to ukraine because e tweeter be at the detroit meant of for a french italian or so mediterranean countries interest a hybrid regime of electoral autocracy. that's how you lawmakers have described to budapest, constitutional and electoral systems. in response, the hungarian foreign minister is not pulling any punches. zolphi parliament, your visit that gave you. 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. there should rather be concerned with how to get europe out of recession, how to get europe out of high inflation, how to get europe out of high energy prices. when the whole policy of sanctions was started in brussels with 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 european union's budget commission, is considering stripping hungry of 70 percent of its funding over transparency concerns. the countries anti migrant and conservative policies have caused displeasure with the block central authorities for quite some time along with its

position on the ukraine conflict, as it calls for both sides to restore peace. 433 e. u legislators have recently claimed that hungry is no longer a full democracy, and in response, here is once again the country's foreign minister. while i'm back, 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 strasburg and brussels think that the hungarian people are not mature enough to decide their own future. and where he said that they are interfering in trying garron 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 dad so, and we reject any slandering of this. earlier we spoke with political analysts, nicholas markovich, who says that the e use attempt to dictate its own rules is undemocratic. and in the love itself, 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 the mr. that they're there, they're judges what type of lands they're down to farm or not. what their 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 voted 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, thanks for watching our international. we'll be back with more news in just about 30 minutes,

so stay tuned with oh, when i went shopping ra, a shave out disdain, because the attitude and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

ah lou 2, no one, no, sir, no, no. hon. who a job? no, no. well, dall, more shrill than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. drill no to production. it was, it gives you or sure, doug did that. they're not killed when you saw new rochelle, he on more more general manager thought is meant union from all one of our brand

new and i got the owner myself. i got your name. i go on monday. i wish to know about joy. oh, new. i know you didn't oh gosh, more or less to know jr, it's i had to put all the sco their mother and all it buddy bill could you could help us out. oh, boy, good with to go or, or what the on this the world. she my a new other. i'm all i can send more on all said mom. good. so you don't the you know and love or put them out there to give us a newly counter russian state little narrative. i've stayed on the northland scheme div us mission. the american culture, all sons, and up for a group in the 55, with his own. i need stevie. what else holds glass about this he left

with? we will van in the european union, the kremlin. yup. machine estate aunt rush up to date and split our t sputnik given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and we could push indicative even clifford shelf with ah, ah ah hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle,

official. kevin, it's immediate trolls have made much of the recent counter offensive. however, there gleeful backing of ukraine has demonstrated beyond a doubt. this is a nato war on russia. the stakes could not be higher. one side will lose and badly . ah, cross sucking nato's war on russia. i'm joined by my guest garland nixon in washington. he's a political analyst in tampa. we have larry johnson. he is managing partner for burg associates and a former c. i. a analyst and u. s. department of state counterterrorism official. and here in moscow we have maxine who chop, he is the director of the institute of international studies at moscow state institute of international relations. hi gentlemen cross how girls and effect. that means you can jump any time you want. i always appreciate, let's go to larry 1st and tampa much has been made about this. so counter offensive or on cortico, not much was gain that much was lost at the end of the day,

but it's good media fodder. good for the propaganda narrative. what is not mentioned in the narrative is that during the summer, the ukrainian army was destroyed. now we have a nato army with ukrainian foot soldiers and mercenaries. but this is nato's war against russia. agree or disagree with that? go ahead, larry. well it's, it's certainly moving in that direction. there were still ukrainians leading vote, leading the fight on this. but when you look at the quality of the troops, they were untrained, they had little experience and they did not know how to properly use the weapons of it. was shocking an article in the washington post. earlier this week with the look, interviewed individuals in the hospital, euchre wounded on crating and soldiers. and when they go through that, these guys are saying, look, we're, we're getting out gun, we're been the,

we're losing 5 of us every one russian. that's the stein or one ukrainian from the don bass. and we don't, we send out 5 shells and we're getting hit with 100. so that is enabled by the nato nato was making that happen. and i think it, it is, it's becoming a very dangerous situation because i, i think i just saw a comment or a message from russia to, to natal. that, you know, if you put in long range what weapons you have crossed to red line. and the, the russians don't make idle threats. maxime, in this basically the same to you because a, the way it's frame, this is russia and ukraine. but it seems, i mean, in zalinski said already in the last few days unseen. and that the without american support, he can continue his effort here. and then you have western media sources gleefully saying, yeah, well, the americans and nato, they were all behind the great defensive in konica. i mean this is,
