haven't even been to some of the areas next to their home with me after that, you can go further and eventually come here to the russian. far east for a loan, with our region pool for an immediate vote to join russia as ukrainian shelling of donors since he killed 13 civilians. president biden says, washington will defend taiwan. a phasing takes military action going directly against the longstanding one china policy. the a you decide to keep burning the equivalent of 15000000 loaves of bread every day to feel vehicles as a law remains in force and food crops to be used as a biofuel, outraging oxfam. while russia is still pinned as

a scapegoat for the global food prices. and while the u. s. is pushing the south africa to the green energy policy, the country faith is a series of widespread power outages with moscow to wherever you are in the world. this is key international i'm or as a mom and here are the top stories on this. our we begin with the latest from the front lines and the dom bus and ukraine. russian troops continue to hold the some parts of yanks despite regular shilling of the city. but he is forces, while heavy fighting is ongoing in the cities of the ample and causing the live on that remain under the control of russian lead, full says in the sort of dog,

ongoing crashes are reported as well. and to the next city with 13 people, including 2 children, have been killed and at least 8 others wounded in the crane artillery attack on a crowded public area. on monday, a warning you may find the following images disturbing out in the official both of the guns and peebles republics have called for an immediate vote, whether the republic should become part of russia. ortiz morrow, gusio 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 shelley and this year. you know, this is 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 join. 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. it 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, the labor rules, and much more than 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, ukrainian chilling would be as it is now. ceaseless people would, would certainly perish as a result of that. but experience from the 2014 shoes, 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 the, if this happens in the near can lugens, it could happen and have san province. you grades have san province in support, your 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 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 has 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 a lash out a job, right? as recent statement, as he said, the u. s. was said truths defend taiwan. if it were thanks. the white house has had to privacy will back similar statements which contradict america's long standing one china policy. but would you ask forces to fin the island? yes. if in fact i was an unprecedented attack. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes. maple yellow? yes. john, we 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 so to not support tie one's independence and send a severely wrong signal to the separatist forces of taiwan independence. even china strongly deplores and rejects it and is made solemn complaints with the u. s. side

when the keyboard. okay. the official us position doesn't commit to military action to defend taiwan, but instead citizens, he aid to the island. the latest batch of funding for the island was announced in early september and includes over a $1000000000.00 in arms, which a note with an array of anti ship and anti aircraft missiles to be delivered. there is false. china reiterated that taiwan is a quote in a lable part of its territory and urge washington to immediately revoke the arm sales. the weapons package comes just a month off to you as how speak and nancy pelosi visited taipei, which prompted manger chinese miniature drills surrounding the islands. the white house had 2 black brightens statement saying washington's policy has not changed. meanwhile, joe biden, 1st one on one interview in over 6 months, caught the public by surprise. as his comment spot criticism from health officials

and ordinary americans from his claims that the coven pandemic is over to stating that information is under control. make it sound like. busy all of a sudden my god, it went to 8.2 percent 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 of spiked. now, for someone who's been a top official 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, coven 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 parents would be my tweet theme through november and beyond. sean's democrats keep playing these games with our lives. you don'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 at what people are wearing and declare it 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 us history and constantly tripping over his words? well, not just his words. some people ask whether you are fit for the job, watch me. ah good may circle key with tanks but will never gain the heart and soul the writing people with

integrated reflection in the stupid with we have fewer democracies in the world today the we did 15 years ago. fewer not more fewer. how can the side of course present harris last week? president harris and i want to thank you that go down on thank you very much. bout trisha just premise. 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 tv cameras for 200 days straight at the co. the pandemic sober joe biden needs to relinquish

a bunch of emergency powers that he's taken. 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 cobit pandemic, sober. i don't think he deserves credit, but i think the important thing that is, if a, if it's, if he's saying it's over, the cdc, the and 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 and other things and, and get back even more profoundly to, to 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 88 per cent, 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 pole at the polls. an i'm coming out for washington court has just rule that the full us fans report outlining the cia torture program will not be publish. and the judges explanation is rudy's would compromise what he calls. national security and africa is cooling for help. the regional african director of the humanitarian aid organization concerns would wind offs, the international community to aid the continent to tackle the famine that has been brought about by the current droughts. the waiting game must up now less cannon upon response, but we need the resources to help old is affected equally if we are to contain the

situation. meanwhile, the united states, e. u and the african union plan to conduct a global food security summit on tuesday in new york city. as the u. s. children fund announced earlier this month at $730.00 people have died since january in somalia, as hunger is footing across the entire african continent. this as the west puts the blame on russia for global food prices due to the war in ukraine. r t spoke to mozambique ambassador to russia, he says the food security problem has long been an issue, and it's not due to the conflicts. food crisis is area. it started area from the 4th this conflict. and therefore we need to find a solution of course. and in the war to confer. it is one of the ways of solving the christ foot crisis in the world. but we let us not attached to the foot crisis

to the conflict it's, it's a, it's a wrong way of analyzing the program. the e u has finally shown it's true colors with this fires. he's in the midst of the hunger crisis and is not looking at the solutions that are growing right out in the fields. when earlier this week, the european union fail to prior to his food security of a feel, supplies the block decided to keep burning the equivalent of 15000000 loaves of bread and thousands of tons of sunflower oil every single day to feel cars and trucks as a law remains in force, allowing food crops to be used as biofuel, a just if expert that firm international labeled to vote a missed opportunity to help solve 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. whatever unsafe are coping with hunger, the west is attempting to disrupt the energy industry there. with the u. s. pushing south africa towards a green energy policy and away from coal. this dislikes a wave of power outages across the country from power generating def deficits. the have full people to cope without electricity. all tease correspondent caribella cutler tools with locals who see ineffective government policies are to blame. $45000000.00 to help south africa transition away from coal. this was the announcement by the white house following a meeting between you as president joe biden, as well as the south african counterpart. so i'm opposing 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 countries 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 him and his government have taken that policy decisions on energy we have been economy can catastrophic and financial ruin as far as one. this problem isn't new. in fact, it's been 15 years of real suffering for south africans who have not only grown desensitized or have also lost hope, will not come to you. we're going further further bearing. this is probably the worst roughly review the few years before he be looking expose rate,

which effectively means all of us with regard to the booster grove hours ago. we should effectively meet with small businesses, power generation in south africa. it's not just insufficient, but also a political question. there's a push by the west to hold south africa up as a model for transformation during the upcoming international climate conference in egypt. this november, they won south africa to give up coal. but coal has been not only a source of energy, but also an employer to over a 100000 people. in the 1st instance that the 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, as time continues to take the real cost to businesses. and more often, this is the soundtrack to the black 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 this. no gain with these are legit. it's very costing long the businesses we use high powered equipment, washing machines, dryers, ions are the ones that they're there to really, jo, jose electricity. 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 original paper across south africa as 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 the internet, not from johannesburg. now to a religious rights controversy were in the supreme court is presiding over the appeal by a large group of amazon student after school go of buying from classes for wearing a hija back in february indian advocacy groups to now. so low course decision as one of quote, robbing women of an education ortiz room. jan sharma has the story in the south and in state of karnataka. in february this,

your muslim students wearing a jobs were stopped from entering their 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 and educational institutes. the court said the prescription of a school uniform is a reasonable restriction and that students can not object to wit. it's already been a challenge to then go to school in the muslim community in india, wearing at 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 keys has reached in del supreme court and its decision which is expected in the coming days, would have a big impact. if the cut market that 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 does rob 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 already that many of those have already dropped node in canada. that as are coming that door, many goes a stop going to school. a number of muslim girls, including the petitioners see that wearing a job is 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 why hinder men decide what rosalind women should wear? that's not fair. getting dependent on the logic behind the sedan, it's completely flawed. i don't think it makes sense. you have started with the banning his abilene. i 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 you are a 3rd report outlining the cia is told to program will not be published. this author differed in columbia court rule that the report would compromise what it called national security. to 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. the report details of the sea ice practices which were initiated off the $911.00 terrorist attacks in 2001, 4 and suspects will slip up into the black site prisons around the world with only

some of the apprehensions results in formal charges of the report. linked by a democratic senator in 2014 and presented proof of torture afghan detainees include findings of cia interrogation will more violent than intel officials ever admitted to lawmakers. earlier we spoke with former cia officer ray mcgovern. he noted that no one has been held accountable for the highly controversial c r a program. when people show up in missouri where you get a little upset about this, well, i get upset because illegal because because it's wrong, people don't do that. other people and people, i say 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 and iraq. again, there weren't any. so people were tortured and some other than confessed to these things just to stop the torture. but there was never good information coming from him. and as an army officer, and of course, as a c, i 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 sell 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 rank, he politician, has suggested that he should face functions of july. the finally economic alliance, the shanghai corporation organization, the german emp, he says, nato. and that you must keep a close eye on to his person and on nato. and the european union must ask themselves how long they will that other one dance around. and then notice nato member turkeys doing more to circumvent european factors and russia than china. or they want pushed the brakes on finland and sweden join in nato. and now he wants to join the s c o. together with iran, it is time for a robust turkey policy. teddy is county considered

a dialogue partner in the organization in politicians of in consent and he has been a lien and away from western influence in recent years. as it builds east and ties . we heard from the use of air in a lot of touch. we'll call something else, he will, who says the pressure on. so he is having unintended consequences. telling them why do you need to get permission to partake in multilateral diplomacy or improve relations with countries that the you find uncomfortable when we look at the actions are taken by the taken by the united states at the time they try to restrict turkish diplomacy risk restrict turkish foreign policy, restrict turkish weapons procurements. it backfired on the west. it's backside on the u. s. it's backed by it on the you is continue down. it's independent path. so i don't see any differences with going i'm,

it seems that turkey is interested in taking part in the shanghai from cooperation organization from the reports that we're seeing, that it could be a possible application for a membership in the future. and when you look at the turkish president, participation as if it was a very fruitful to students. while the news i'll check out, i'll see, don't call them for more news. and just me only our for more international news. see that? ah oh

ah, just as i did was that travelling is one of the simplest ways to learn new things that the horse. if you want to learn something, you don't always have to run an expedition with a huge team and right along to the north pole. and a fence like on the from you can start by getting your car or even and hoping on the apply and exploring the neighborhood ownership. you'll discover lots of things that you need to get. i'm sure that most people haven't even been to some of the areas next to their homes as me after that you can go further and eventually come here to these russian far east. for example,

in the ukranian oligarchs, private armies murdering sug had a salary of $1300.00 a month for this. the well nationalists battalion fighters who will be on the control of the regular army, had to do the dirtiest work, but not even the ukrainian special services to perform. the mother ship creams can that's on the lease that was putting him into the school go to a unit of just opponents in the crane. so i watched him up on the fence and then you can still get out of it. but all sorts of shit into, you know, was focused on that if they made it. but i'll be what a life

by you. lots of little on the little birth sabrina, can foam, brisk company. i mean, i don't know when the bus didn't you was yet going to take the stairs and out of the machine. yeah. boy, do you do more? yes. with the no, i'm not sure how to don't volunteer unit commander of me. no, because has been defending his territory since spring 2014. he's personally witness . dozens of crimes carried out by the ukrainian military down the us and i'll be in touch with you for that week and. and that's more the story to put on the went up just give me a call up. i knew mine. yeah. of course i know that i thought you were probably done you know.
