i must've had somebody with a juggling conflict, a e, butch moore released was it to do things by with awe is breaking youth. it's our live on our team international, the don't. yes, and luke on square public, as well as ukraine's how to so on and his up at all, she regions are now, so they will be holding referendums on joining russia with the 3 of them to be held in the next few days. the you decide to keep burning through the equivalent of $15000000.00 loaves of bread every day to fuel the vehicles at the low remains in force allowing food crops to be used as bio fuel despite the ongoing global food crisis was when the program president joe biden says washington will

defend taiwan if beijing takes minutes. reaction. although that leaves the white house scrambling to explain washington's actual policy with good afternoon from moscow, which i just saw after 4 pm here in a busy day here in the studio, ukraine. for example, the un general assembly new york will have live coverage for you. so welcome to the program. we do start this out with breaking news for you. a both the danielle and lou ganske republics, as well as 2 regions in ukraine have announced they will be holding referendums on whether or not to become a part of russia. now voting in the, to don bass. republics on the hood, us on region will be held september the 23rd to the 27th at the zip code. oh, she region is also to stage a referendum, however, that exact date is yet to be announced. but we can learn more across life to our senior correspondent mode added guys the have joining us here this afternoon,

but out it's certainly a major development we're talking about right here, if you will just take us through the implications well, anyway, you look at it this is going to be a momentous week in history. certainly it will be studied in years and decades perhaps to come, but yes indeed, 3 ukrainian regions holding referendums on joining russia and 23rd to the 27th of september. presumably, over the course of several days to avoid massive cues or a rush because in, in all of these regions, ukrainian shelling is ceaseless, it is endless, and it is blind. yesterday alone, 13 people killed in a single attack at the market. so presumably, authorities are taking the security situation very seriously, but they must also take other factors into consideration. why this, this rush,

there's a lot that will have to be done aside from the referendum itself, the laws of all 3 of russia of logan's, but yet can have shauna are very, very different economic laws. a very, very different that all of that is going to be as good have to be mesh together for it to work. presumably these republics, if they choose to join russia will, will accept russian federal law with all that that entails. and there is little doubt that these republics will, i will vote to join russia than he had. and logan's, after 8 years of civil war and shelling, endless peace efforts which were, were, which were either denied by ukraine uminski agreement. they've had enough. they want finally, to be accepted as russian citizens rather than 2nd grade citizens with,

with russian passports but left to their own devices. many of them she this as the only solution to a peaceful, prosperous future, to them here in your son region. those that have left the province. the city for ukraine, for territory is held by the key every sheep they will be unable to boot in these referenda. but as i say there is, there is a lot writing on this and much will change. there is very little doubt about that. authorities in russia, we've heard already that the speaker of the parliament, the duma say that if they choose to join russia, the state duma, the russian parliament, louis house of parliament will support them will vote to to allow them to join russia. we've heard the lead of the communist party in russia. also say that this is something he has at work through a cheap for years. other public officials also expressing support for the gods than

he is going to have san ah, joining the russian federation. zappa, georgia. perhaps will also stage the referendum on these exact dates from the 23rd to the 27th of september, but as of yet, they haven't announced the death right? our senior course, one of them are ad garcia, but the latest on this breaking news, appreciate it. see you soon. let's get more thoughts on this now from jim political analyst and a former presidential candidate to nigeria, either move god about now joining us here live on the program during our breaking news coverage. a very good afternoon to you. so thanks so much for joining us here on the program. what reaction would you expect from various western professional partners to the announcement of these referendums to be held in these republic? so one might consider that the press coverage might be rather cynical or sarcastic . but at the end of the day, it's what the people think, the towns, what do you, what do you think that is true? i think your conclusion was, was very interesting because what did people think eventually?

what kind of, what not really us went to begin on them. my shot your or what you tell you great. which me like what, what the, what the need on the time to she the end of the call. you have nobody giving it to me, but i didn't last you've got the companies in the house got that they, i don't know where they can have the ability to bid up. i'm also looking for somebody like know what the, what not really want to level shopping that you know, bob green, i'm going to do to read that. you look down on me likely be rather different when what, what, what, what, what, what you saw a little,

you know, with the media about, you know, what had been to begin to do i live in georgia. i didn't usually have to go back to like, like to get them, but i don't know. i wanted to jump in quickly because what you're saying is very interesting. and i like how you take it from a broader perspective, with your analysis on some of the questions i'm asking you. but i wanted to ask, you know, that there is speculation whether the conflict and you cry and will grow to an actual war on russian territory. if the republics were to join you, you would think that if these republics were to join russia, perhaps, then the russian military could move move more of its forces into that part of the country. that perhaps what do you think that the referendum happened? could there then be an actual war on russian territory so to speak? yes, to be very continued to my own thinking. is this, this citizen of submitted during it constitutionally to the or

doroty of bureau shunting, the racial sort. you took the responsibility or something to secure and protect it . so as to just a while by you how some roshan from is not coming in people, homes, and what was you know, to be able to protect the citizens already went to or new member, one new new member to get one done. does you look to pro, what do you know? but of course, some did one with the other watchman wanted to do that have been defined. you know, why not did mitchell, you may be doing good, you know, conversion of degree of hard to be done with some of the mission statement nationals did. when again, it's a very important role in the thunder. this is the people's will and they're big. want to die out to stay within the lives of individual, then be whatever that is also optical to do to protect them. i them, but i think i think he raised a really good point. i think you raise a very good point and, and one of them is this, you know, if you, if you think back to march 16th 2014,

there was the referendum in crimea. a lot of the western press showed up for it and they showed thousands of people, literally thousands of people, all generations, frankly, lining through the city to cast that vote for that referendum in 2014 in crimea. now that showed a lot of people outside, but they weren't in a was on now we've got a was on going on here, a high intensity conflict zone and, and, you know, people are calling out for a referendum. did you think the people are going to feel safe enough to make cues all through town to make said to wait patiently to cast their vote. i think the people are good. bunch of them bugs on. hands have been in this problem for a very long time. maybe 5 years or so, you know, getting so, so the fact that now i agree now to wanted to bring to the joint a steak. if don't be put on the wall. i didn't want you to be there, but i piece of community so, so that is the situation i'm looking. i want to people in the walk around now to take the least be able to identify with where do you feel their future view and

also to belong to the community. where did believe where the i did, you might be a futile or so that interest. you back that they have to get a decision, then you didn't get to you. i was going to go to whoa, because we don't know what made you mentor, responds. we don't know what is going to be to support the nickel into your brain. we've seen dr. british new describing as i tried to what, what about i think 2.3 pounds, what else to what ukrainian war. but i know what you're going to get is when from the, with more military actually grade. when you look at just kind of what you should musically, but that is actually a full measure of the kind of it's, you know, why been about a couple of years or with mental. that's what i'm seeing. so if the, if the to do of the muslim wants seen doesn't under front of the water for him to be mean. yeah. trying to secure. yeah. you don't want to go up under the local to deal with him even going to little wall. i will,

we are going to be giving of course, full coverage to this your analogy into national animal god by the 2nd, a former presidential candidate for nigeria. a great to see you. thanks very much for that. ah, now the regional african director of the communitarian aid organization concerns world wide. it's a bonding of the international community steps in to tackle the famine that's been brought about by the current drought. the waiting game must stop. now we are scaling up our response, but we need the resources to help all those affected equally. if we are to contain the situation. is i a federal isabella joining us alive during this program? great to see you today though. obviously this the really dia story and a lot of concerns being touted. world right about this. the current situation regarding world hunger look, what can you tell us? right, says the united nations general assembly is underway, new york. what has been going on is the world of political leaders and the movers

and shakers need to come together to address is program. so there is an open letter that seeks to address this question of literally life and death. and this letter has been signed by were 230 organizations and 75 countries. and this claims that one person dies every 4 seconds of, of hunger. and of course this is a morally unconscious level thing to not address. so let's take a look. 50000000 people now just one step away from starvation. over $345000000.00 more are borrowing under the crushing weight of hunger, struggling to feed their families and at risk of death. the international community and national governments fighting to meet their duty and prioritize political and economic interests over the well being of the world's most vulnerable children and families and communities. and it won't have plenty leaving people to stop as a policy choice. we call on you as world latest to take urgent action to stem this crisis and prevent future ones. so those are strong numbers and strong words,

considering the numbers have gone. increased so much since 2019. and what we're seeing too, is that this letter draws attention as to how politicians have been ignoring the poorest countries to for the wealthier countries. we've seen the media and the attention be, of course, in ukraine these last few months. and of course, the most affected people in the world are suffering because of that. now, one country in particular i want to point out is somalia. somalia is a country that is facing 250 people at risk of death directly. and 1000000 people have been displaced by drought, whereas a, around 4000000 people, 7000000 people are actually facing famine right now. it's one of the hardest countries in africa. this is of course, caused by the drought that is the worst drought in 40 years. and the famine, of course, is something that needs to be put out in fright. and of course just a few days ago that you and revealed that the some somalian who monitoring response

plan is only 65 percent funded. which means that, that we need to really get on this and now the question is, what, what other country, what are other countries going to do about this as well? yeah, i mean, you certainly talk about that. i mean i, i've been reading reports and he also been covering it here with archie international. i fear relevant, their various u. n. world food programs that have been cutting, how much funding they have, and cutting how much food they can put out as well. so it's not just the natural, inclement weather, for example, in the droughts, but it's also politics involved and lack of budgets involved as well. and obviously yemen is a big deal to, but some people call yemen that the biggest manmade catastrophe in the history of mankind. when you talk about global responses, we, we've heard about cargo ships being sent to, well, the supposed to go to the poor countries on that because they kind of end up going to the richer countries. what, what is the global response? right, right, so like i said, we're seeing billions and billions go to 8 and ukraine, right. and we're seeing that the, the priorities go specifically to ukraine. so just yesterday, a ukrainian deputy minister of

a gary and m policy and food pretty much posted about the help that ukraine was actually offering. let's hobble a tension is being drawn 1st and foremost to how many ships go to africa. because there are many devastating reports of famine coming from there as millions of people are suffering. as of today, throughout the period of the grand initiative, 23 vessels carrying 640000 tons of food have been sent there. so what 2023 vessels? i mean, i guess that that sounds like a lot. is it? it sounds like a lot, but when you actually put it into context, it's not. so that's about 13 percent, 2003 out of $169.00 vessels and numbers actually say that this is actually much lower than that, that this is actually in the lower a single digit numbers. and of course, the green is mostly going to richer countries. these are criticisms at both president air to one of turkey and president. while you're putting, i've pointed out numerous times that why is the brain only going to the european

countries? right? and one important thing i want to point out, rory is that earlier this week, the european union failed to prioritize with security over fuel supplies. because as we know, sanctions have effected europe in the, in terms of the gas and energy prices. and so the block decided to keep burning through $10000.00 tons of wheat per day, converting it to ethanol in order to power their cars. now, this is something that would need to be done if there weren't sanctions on russia. so i have to point that out in this statistic, say this is like removing 15000000 loaves of bread and thousands of tons of sunflower every single day to fuel cars and trucks. so this is of course, a huge issue. and again, this wouldn't happen if there weren't sanctions on russia, which is affecting this will. it's situation. and it's not just wealthy nations, of course, taking this brain. it's the attempt to stop russia from gifting the grain that that is also just ridiculous. well,

i'm one of the ways they were blocking russia from delivering his grain. was that of a revoking the cargo vessels lie? this is an vendor that harbor permits were rejected, so they couldn't even operate the cargo vessels and they weren't even out to dock. and the western press was saying that russia was behind the food crisis, yet a hog tied all the russian transport politics every day. all right, well there we are. phil rel is about. thank you very much. thank you. well, the founder of the euro, continent, analytics organization, pierre emmanuel command, says the e u is seeking the most extreme options to satisfy their energy needs, as russia significantly reduces its gas supply to europe. however, listen to this, the european union. he's sir more more in a truck, but because of his own decision to wherever i turn that cheap sources of energy to avoid or russian gas because we accept it to,

to not to put into service for an offering to relieve a shortage of energy. on this is why they prioritize or they are energy needs to any of our priority, where you will probably be you're under criticism for from the rest of a wall. because we have noticed that on the e, u is following, our saver must extremist atlantis policy or against russia in the world, the rest of the world in eurasia, especially done for all of his approach enough for cat, ether, and dorm. he was more and more regarding africa, asa totally aligned a sub her at him until for o'clock he strutted she again, sir russia and is less and less credible. unfortunately, while association is now to that of a religious rights controversy,

where india's supreme court is presiding over an appeal by a large group of muslim students after school girls were banned from classes for wearing a head job back in february. the indian advocacy groups denounced the lower court decision as a one of quote, robbing women of an education. his correspondent dungeon sharma in the south and in state of karnataka. in february, the c r muslim students wearing a jobs were stopped from entering their college. the students argued against that decision, calling it a why lesion of their fundamental rights. but the states high court upheld the ban on muslim women wearing a 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, wearing a her job to allow them to do so. now the gotten in the out dorothy young muslim. 6

go to make a terrible choice between education and what they see as their feet. now the case has reached in dal supreme court and it's decision which is expected in the coming days would have a big impact. if the kanaka government section is approved that you can or band 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 controversy has been fueled by the hindu nationalist government in india to draw 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 out in canada. that as are coming, that her 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 pinky go, how can the court judges or hinder men decide what muslim women should wear? that's not fair. the logic behind this job and it's completely flawed. i don't think it makes sense. you have started with the binding who job in the universities and schools and then it's going to come to work places and then maybe public places . what do you want from us with a little more that the supreme court will see the matter differently? muslim goes for the clock, maybe set backwards. runjun sharma, r t new delhi. well, it's good to have your company today though a 10 year old girl has reportedly been shot in the head this during demonstrations in iran, over the death of a woman arrested for violating strict dress code such as one you may find the following images disturbing. the goal is set to be in critical condition after the incident in the western city of the can was tuesday, march,

the 4th day of protest and iran reports say 5 people have been killed since saturday as security forces open fire on the crowds during the most recent violent protest in the capital serano videos from social media. so police using water cannon against the crowds. now the protests erupted after a 22 year old women died in police custody after being arrested for where and get his job that was beamed not suitable. as demonstrated as soon as felicia feeding her until she was in a coma authorities rejects the claims and say she suffered a sudden heart failure. a female demonstrated have since been removing the headscarf in protest. well, china has lashed out, jo biden's recent statement, as he said, the us would send troops to defend taiwan if it were attacked. the white house has had previously walk back similar statements which ultimately contradict americans. long standing one china policy. but would us horses defend the i want to?

yes. if in fact, there was an unprecedented attack. us forces us men and women would defend taiwan in the event of a chinese invasion. yes, made sonia enjoy us remarks seriously violate the one china principal and the provisions of the 3 u. s. china joint communiques breached the u. s. commitment to not support taiwan independence and send a severely wrong signal to the separatist forces of taiwan independence. china strongly deplores and rejects it and is made solemn complaints with the u. s. side . so the official us position doesn't commit to military action to defend taiwan. but instead stands military aid to the island. latest batch of funding for the island was announced in early september and includes over a $1000000000.00 and alms with an array of anti shift and anti aircraft missiles to be delivered. in response, china reiterated the pie one is quota, and in alien

a part of his territory, an urge washington to immediately revoke the sales. and the weapons package comes, of course, just a month off the us house speaker, nancy pelosi visited sy pay, which prompted major chinese military drills all around the island. now the white house has had to walk back up biden's statement saying washington's policy has not changed. meanwhile, jo biden's, 1st one on one interview and over 6 months called the public by surprise that his comment spot criticism from a health officials on ordinary americans for his claims of the cobra pandemic as over to stating that inflation is under control. so you like me, i can make a sound like. busy of a sudden my god, it went to 8.2 percent highest inflation rate. mr. president and 40 year i got that . but guess what? we are. we're in a position where for the last several months, it has in spite 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, cold at 19, is over. what 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. of them is to president a pandemic, isn't like boot cut genes where you look around at what people are wearing and declare it over. let's not give bite in the past for the pandemic is over. imagine if trump said it. and what about americans who were 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. ah good may circle key with tanks but will never gain the hearts and souls iranian people with integrated more pollution in the stupid present we have fewer democracies in the world today the we did 15 years ago. fewer not more fewer. ok in the side of course,

present harris last week president harris and i want to thank you that go down on your thank you very much, appreciate your 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. if the cobra pandemic, sober joe biden needs to relinquish a bunch of emergency powers that he's taken as 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 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, 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 8 for 8 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 short, a 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. ah, a high ranking e u politician has suggested that turkey should face sanctions if it joins a china lead economic alliance that of the shanghai cooperation organization. this does come days off to the ceo had it's a multi polo world summit and was breakfast on the german,

m p says our nato and the e must keep a close eye on turkey's president of the nato. and the european union must ask themselves how long they will let our do on dance around. and then those us nato member turkeys doing more to circumvent european scientists and russia than china are due on post the brace and 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 took a policy. turkey is currently considered what's called a dialogue partner with the s c. o. european politicians have been concerned that turkey has been leaning away from western influence in recent years as it builds its eastern size editor at large of the turkish broadcast a t. c. world. the use of atom believes the pressure on turkey is ultimately going to have an intended consequences. 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 you taken by the united states to any time they try to restrict the turkish diplomacy, restrict turkish foreign policy, restrict turkish weapons, procurement. it backfired on the west side, on the u. s. it backfired on the you and to continue down, it depended that so i don't see any difference with this going on. it seems that turkey is interested in taking part in the shanghai for cooperation organization from the report that we're seeing, that it could be a possible application for a membership in the future. and when you look at the circus present, the participation at this time, it was very fruitful. this was good to have with us here on our team to national right behind me right there. the un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, is the opening day. now. the 77 un general assembly and here on our international we are monitoring all the different world leaders who are.
