ah ah ah, along with the cares on reason, call for an immediate vote to join russia. as you training shelling of donate to the kill 13 civilians. the president biden says washington will defend taiwan if agent takes military action directly against the longstanding one china policy. while the u. s. is put in south africa towards the green energy policy, the country faith is a series of widespread power outages. as russia has been pinned as a scapegoat for the global crisis, the

e u has decided to keep learning the equivalent of 15000000 lows of bright every day to feel cars and trucks. as a law remains enforced. following, allowing food, talking to me as a buyer fuel with well, the international is 10 am here in the russian capital. i'm ron tom ami. let's take a look at today's talk. we'll begin with a link to this from the front lines and the dom bus. and ukraine, russian troops continue to hold the st. paul to coop yanks, despite to regular shilling of this city by keith forces. while heavy fighting is ongoing in the cities of the am pole and the closing of the month that remain under the control of the russian net forces in solar, the ongoing crashes are reported as well. to the us to see wes,

i'd seen people including 2 children have been killed at least 8 others wounded in the ukrainian artillery attack on a crowded public area. on monday, a warning you may find the following images disturbing. our officials of both of the guns and if people's republic have called for an immediate vote on whether the republic should become a part of russia sees more goes the air has more details. this is 8 years after both regions voted hosted referendums on independence on leaving ukraine.

what followed was 8 years of civil war for friendless shelling and this year, you know, this has pushed people over the years to seek security from russia. they have their bag, they have appealed to russia to protect them and also to let them joy. this isn't anything new, it's what, what is new is that they have appealed, officially to the heads of their states to hold referendums in the near term and to join russia once had for all which would, which would carry all sorts of consequences at would certainly be seen as an escalation, because now ukraine wouldn't be at war with, with just the pro, the republics, the breakaway republics of lugens can yet, but also against russian territories. and the europe and the united states natal nations would be supplied weapons rockets, missiles, to ukraine, to wage war against russian territory. so suddenly, as this food for thought there,

but it would also have other consequences, such as the unification of local law with russian federal law, as well as the, the financial systems of the labor rules. and much more of the military is as well would be out would be joined together. what ukraine has done with, with the shelling, endless shillings is made people we are asked the question, is it worth it now holding these referendums when the situation is, is so drastic when the situation is so violent, many people could potentially die on the day of the vote or whether it's a stretch it out of the course of a week. for example, you, penny chilling would be as it is now, ceaseless people would would certainly perish as a result of that. but experience from the 2014 shoes that a referendum can be held even during violent armed conflict,

as it was then among the logos there's, there's a lot of hoop even here and can song those. you support russia, that, that if this happens in the near can lugens, it could happen in your son province. you kids have san province in separate province where people could all to vote to join russia. there's been little by way of official reaction from, from moscow and from officials there that we have heard from the leader of the communist party rushes communist party, which still holds a lot of sway him welcoming these potential referendum to join russia. he is also said that his party has been for the guns of the gods and the nearest people's republics, joining russia for many, many years for the past 8 years. and it is expected that more officials and more parties will come out in favor. ah,

china has last out at joe barnes. recent statement, as he said, the us would send troops to defend taiwan if it were attacks. the white house has had to privacy war bucks, similar statements which contradict america's longstanding one china policy. but would you ask forces to fin the i want? yes. if in fact it was an unprecedented attack. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes, me fell yellow yet. only the u. s. remarks seriously violate the one china principal and the provisions of the 3 us china joint communiques breached the u. s . commitment some to not support taiwan independence and send a severely wrong signal to the separatist forces of taiwan independently. even china strongly deplores and rejects it and has made solemn complaints with the u. s . side when material wrong. the official

u. s. position doesn't commit to merge the action to defend taiwan. but instead, since the military aid to the island, the latest batch of funding for the island was announced in early september. and it is over a $1000000000.00 in arms with an array of anti ship and anti aircraft missiles to be delivered. in response, china reiterated that taiwan is a quote in amiable part of its territory and urged washington to immediately revoke the arms deal. the weapons package comes just a month off the u. s. house speaker nancy pelosi visited taipei, which prompted major chinese emerging drills surrounding the island. a number of us lawmakers followed on pillows, his heels and a reiterated washington support for taiwan. earlier we spoke with professor benjamin cio who question if the u. s. is incapable of getting involved in the tie . one issue, one is clear. you said that

u. s. is moving away from strategic ambiguity when it comes to, to tie one question. but we must 1st asked if the u. s. is able to, to defend taiwan effectively. even if it wanted to, if the u. s. encourages tie, want to send the source to mainland china, the u. s. b s b c. think that missiles 2nd recently clear that victory, president of china has surpassed the us presence in the region. increasingly more and more scholars i got the largest threat to the. busy security is the u. s. the year start to the other 2 to 3 years in the last 100 years, but not for china. china has seldom really fight a war since it opened up the economy to follow up cost is whether it is credible on this kind of plan. what we see otherwise is that there are numerous cases of loose things to a digital mortgage shortcut. ability in the american foreign policies, the u. n. and a huge majority of the world and also one trying to principle. so the majority of

the world will not be onto your site. the white house had to walk back by this statement, saying washington's policy is not changed. meanwhile, joe, by the 1st one on one interview and over 6 months, caught the public by surprise as his comment spot criticism from a health official and ordinary americans. and from his claims that the coven pandemic is over stating that inflation is under control. so you like me, i can make it sound like all of a sudden my god went to 8.2 percent of the highest inflation rate. mr. president and 40 here i got that. but guess what? we are. we're in a position where for the last several months it has his spite. now, for someone who's been a top officials since 1972 and always lived in mansions, maybe it isn't so bad. but for average american statistics show they are being squeezed. at this point, we've got the u. s. army urging soldiers to apply for food stamps in order to make

their pay go further. when it comes to the pandemic, joe biden said, coded 19 is over, but all you have to do is look at the number of cases that's been rapidly rising. my goodness, these folks are clue this. it's no wonder the parties a train wreck is going to apparently be my tweet theme through november and beyond . sean's democrats keep playing these games with our lives. he doesn't get to just declare a global pandemic. all them is to president append demik isn't like boot cut genes, where you look around to what people are wearing and declared over. let's not give biden a pass for the pandemic is over. imagine if trump said it, and what about americans who are worried about him being the oldest president in u. s. history and constantly tripping over his words? well, not just his words. some people ask whether you are fit for the job, watch me through for the put his in the not exactly reassuring. if you watch him, i could may circle key with tanks but will never gain the hearts and

souls of the reigning people. 2 integrated work solution supercede we have fewer democracies in the world today that we did 15 years ago. fewer not more fewer than the son of course president hers last week. president harrison i with thank you very much. trisha is to premise mr. wise guy over here. well, that's the president of the united states. i think all recognition is due to his staff for the very good decision they made. everyone can see why they kept him away from t v cameras for 200 days straight. if the coven pandemic sober joe biden needs to

relinquish a bunch of emergency powers, that he's taken a some of those powers have to do by the way, with elections, and with, with maintaining some of the policies around election. so i'm glad to hear that the cobra pandemic, sober. i don't think he deserves credit. but i think the important thing that is, if it's, if he's saying it's over the cdc, the n i age and the other entities need to relinquish their emergency powers, they need to stop spending so much money. they need to stop the mask mandates, other things and, and get back even more profoundly, church, a life as we knew it beforehand. his answer to that was outrageous. i mean, whatever he was saying about up an inch or something. again, you talk about incoherent talking, incoherent speech, look, it's, it's 88 percent plus month to month, normal people and i'm to put myself in the category were feeling it idea that he sort of shrugged it off and said things are sort of stable. it's stable if in

a way that is absolutely decimating. and i mean that term specifically decimate means 10 percent. it's taking 10 percent of our money away because of his policies . it's a disaster, and it's the biggest reason, frankly, that he's going to pay the biggest price in november at the poll at the polls. on coming up a washington quarter zillow rule that the full us send report outlining the eyes full of over. i will not be published and the judges explanation it's released would compromise what people's national security the u. s. is continuing to push south africa towards a green energy policy and away from coal vats, despite a wave of power outages across the country. though fulls people to cope without electricity's on seeds, correspondent caribou live extra talks with locals who say ineffective government

policies. all leading to the closure of small businesses. $45000000.00 to help south africa transition away from coal. this was the announcement by the white house following a meeting between us president joe biden, as well as the south african counterpart. subtle ram, oppose this at a time when blackouts have been intensifying in south africa. so much so i'm a plaza cut short his working visit to attend to this potentially disastrous situation. that not only threatens the national economy, but also his own president looked, president obama was as canceling of his appearance at the united nations. general assembly is not going to bring an end to rolling blackouts at the current, the country's currently going through. because he is himself the sponsor of the current electricity blackouts that we are seeing on the basis of the policy decisions that to him and his government have taken that policy. decisions on

energy we have been economy can catastrophic and financial ruin as far as con, this problem isn't you. in fact, it's been 15 years of real suffering for south africans who have not only grown desensitized, but have also lost hope, will not come to you. room for overbearing. this is probably the worst proceed with possibly looking exposure. which effectively means all of us have a suit regard to with grove hours ago. we should effectively mean the end of small businesses. power generation in south africa is not just insufficient, but also a political question. there's a push by the west to whole south africa up as a model for transformation during the upcoming international climate conference in egypt. this november, the 1 south africa to give a cold. but cold has been not only a source of energy, but also an employer to over a 100000 people. in the 1st instance, that term green energy,

the only thing green about it is the name nothing else. now that is on the one hand on the other, and it has nothing to do with ensuring that the country is energy secure. it has everything to do with corruption and greedy profiteering. because today, the evidence is there, south africa has got supposedly 6000 megawatts of installed renewable power, green energy. and yet we are going through lot shedding because not a single meadow. what our ever gets delivered to any user of electricity in this country. because the so called green energy is not suitable to be on a high voltage. a crate, such as the one operated by s. com as time continues to take, the real costs are 2 businesses. and more often this is the soundtrack to the black. ah, you have to be 50 customers. can it just kinda menu out from the lou because i mean

you remain the same, but we are, we're the one to, to, to lose. there's no gain with this legit. it's very costing long the businesses we use, high powered equipment, washing machines, dryers, ions are the ones that they're, they're really, journals. they like the city. so you can produce more generating on the small business. that's not something you do likely because it's a high cost plus the over it's, you know, what people across south africa is an aging fleet of coal power stations and be our problem to break down. however, getting rid of them now would be a disaster for the country as well as for president settle, i'm a poser. and the longer the blackouts continue the demo, i his hopes for a 2nd term as president, globally shut out of the international from janice book. and africa is calling for help. the regional african director of the humanitarian aid organization concerns

world wide of the international community to aid the continent to tackle the famine that has been brought about by the current droughts. the waiting game must stop now west kellen, up our response, but we need the resources to help old is affected equally if we are to contain the situation. meanwhile, the united states, you and the african union plans conduct a global food security summit on tuesday in new york city. as the you and children fund announced earlier this month, at $730.00 people have died since january in somalia as hunger is spreading across the entire african continent. this, as the west puts the blame on russia for global food cries is due to the war ukraine. r. c spoke to mozambique ambassador to russia, who says the food security problem has long been an issue,

and it is not due to the conflicts. foot crisis is area, it started earlier from the this conflict and therefore we need to find a solution of course and in the war. the conflict is one of the ways of solving the crisis food crisis in the world. but let us not attached to the food crisis to the conflict it's, it's a, it's a wrong way of analyzing the problem. and while the west doesn't seem to be listening to the continent, it says it is so word about the e. u itself has finally shown it's true colors with its priorities. in the midst of hunger crisis, the block has decided to keep burning the equivalent of 15000000 loaves of bread every day to fuel cars and trucks. as a law remains in force allowing food crops to be used as biofuel, a justice expert at oxford, international labeled to vote,

a missed opportunity to help. so the situation the outcome is deadly for the hundreds of millions of people who are staring straight into the jaws of hunger . the european parliamentarians are choosing to put the interests of the powerful and greedy biofuel lobby before the millions of people around the world who are struggling to find their next meal. ah, now till religious warnings. controversy were in this supreme court is presiding over an appeal by a large group of ms. muslim students after school girls will bomb from classes for wearing her. he job. back in february, indian advocacy groups denounced the low cost decision as $1.00 of quote, robbing women of an education ortiz rooms and sharma has the story in the south and in state of karnataka. in february this year was them. students wearing a jobs were stopped from entering dec college. the students argued against that

decision, calling it a while asian of their fundamental rights. but the states high court upheld the ban on muslim women wearing good jobs in educational institutes. the court said the prescription of a school uniform is a reasonable restriction and that students can not object to it. it's already been a challenge to then go to school in the muslim community in india, very get his job to allow them to do so. now the cotton india dorothy young, muslim, goes to make a terrible choice between education and what they see as their feet. now the case has reached in del supreme court and its decision, which is expected in the coming days, would have a big impact. if the connecticut government section is approved that you can are banned the he job in educational institutions, then i do suspect that many other states might more in a similar fashion. religious leaders believe that the he job control was the,

has been fueled by the hindu nationalist government in india to resolve muslims of the religious and cultural space. it's actually a nor issue which has been blown out of proportion and made into a big issue. the order that many girls have already dropped node in canada that as are coming that are many goes a stop going to school. a number of muslim girls, including the petitioners see that wearing a job as a fundamental right and an essential practice and that it should be left to individuals. i don't think 8 o'clock in the court judges or hinder men decide what muslim women should wear. that's not fair giving you penalty. the logic behind the sedan. it's completely flawed. i don't think it makes sense. you have started with the manning, his abilene, who was at ease in schools, and then it's, it's going to come to what places and then maybe public places. what do you want from us with the little hope that the supreme court will see the matter differently?

muslim girls fear the clock may be set backwards. runjun sharma, r t new delhi. the full us sir report outlined the c i is told sharon will not be published. this offer a district of colombia court ruled that the report would compromise what it called national security. the report contains highly classified information about the c. i used attention and interrogation policies and procedures that would compromise national security for least far outweighing the public's interest in disclosure. horrible details the sea ice practices which were initiated after the $911.00 terrorist attacks in 2001, 4, and saw sex was slipped up into black site prisons around the world with only some of the apprehensions resulting in formal charges. part of the report will leaks by

a democratic senator in 2014 and presented as proof of torture of afghan detainees and includes findings that ca interrogations were more violent than intel officials admitted to norma makers. earlier we spoke with former cia officer ray mcgovern. he noted that no one has been held accountable for the highly controversial c i a program. when people show up in missouri where you get a little upset about this, well, i get upset because illegal a because because it's wrong, people don't do that. other people and people. i said that's why they made it illegal. besides that, from a practical point of view, as general kim ins pointed out, it doesn't work, it doesn't give good solid information. so why did they do it? that would come out in the complete report, but it's very clear that they had orders to try to squeeze these, these people and,

and get them to tell more about weapons of mass destruction in iraq. there weren't any or other things about ties between al qaeda. andy rock, again, there weren't any so people were tortured some other than confessed to these things just to stop the torture. but there was never good information coming from them as an army officer. and of course, as a c, a employee, i was destroyed to find out this was going on a matter of fact, i gave back my intelligence commendation medallion, whichever is given at retirement, for especially commendable service. i gave that back to the head of the house intelligence committee, saying, i don't want to be associated with this agency. the intelligence compete, people are, are equally afraid of what will happen to them. they release the report,

whether torture is going on now. who knows? all i can say is that no 10, no one was held accountable for this. a high ranking e u politician has suggested that shouldn't, here should faith a sanctions if it joins of china that economic alliance. the shanghai corporation organization. the german m p says name to and the you must keep a close eye on to his present, ardon, nato and the european union must ask themselves how long they will that other one dance around and then no says nato member turkeys doing more to circumvent european sanctions and russia than china are the one puts the brakes on finland and sweden join in nato. and now he wants to join the s c o. together with a run. it is time for a robust turkey policy to his county considered award called a dialogue partner in the organization of european politicians have been concerned,

and turkey has been leaning away from western influence in recent years, as it builds is east and ties. we heard from the use of a rim editor at large of turkish, broke off of chelsea will, who says the pressure on turkey is having unintended consequences? fallen? why do you need to get permission to partake in multilateral diplomacy or improve relations with countries that you find uncomfortable? so when we look at the actions are taken by the you taken by the united states at the time they try to restrict the turkish diplomacy risk, restrict turkish foreign policy, restrict, turkish, our weapons procurements. it backfired on the way. it's back right on the u. s. it backfired on the you and your case continued down it's independent path. so i don't see any differences with this. so going, i'm,

it seemed that turkey's interested in taking part in the shanghai for cooperation organization from the reports that were seeing that it could be a possible application for membership in the future. and when you look at the turkish president, participation as a family, it was a very fruitful to students for more. and so i saw news updates that are c dot com where you'll also be able to catch up on any problems you may have missed. and we'll be back on the hour with walt stores. ah, ah, ah, ah, well, i

a ah, with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race move is on of very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time to sit down and talk ah,

in 2014 killers to so called counter terrorist operation against ukraine. se regions that had refused to recognize the code over the years. ukrainian troops committed thousands of crimes, many of which have no statute of limitations with you will want to show you or you did it in a in order with .
