oh, but oh, that didn't stop mo, google obtaining you kind of the truth is in 2022. ah ah, to reveal that be great in cordele, it's being used for committing terror acts suggesting that what is the question about the existence of this corridor? president clinton warned the ukraine grain deal could be at risk if it's proven that explosive used in the crimean bridge attack removed from odessa and a truck transporting wheat south africa is being pushed by the west into an unfavorable energy transition deal taking on high interest loans by developing countries can't afford, as well as endangering its economic growth with north stream to your pipeline would not have jeopardize the security of european or german gas supplies. that's

according to a d classified top secret german document written before the start of the ukraine conflict with from moscow to the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins. and these are the top stories, this our, the russian city of belgrade, on the border with ukraine, has experienced a partial power outage after an attack by ukrainian forces that, according to the regions governor. this strike caused a fire at the facility, which has since been put out. there are no reports of any casualties. the previous day saw an ammunition depot exploded following a strike by the ukrainian military. ah,

vladimir putin has question, the future of the green corridor out of ukraine. if it is confirmed the explosives used in the recent attack on the crimean bridge were shred, shipped from odessa in a grain truck. any issue or the russian federal security service has stated that most likely the exposes, were transported from a desk by sea that has been clearly established yet whether a grain truck was engaged in the transportation. if it's reveal that the grain corridor is being used for committing terror acts that were put into question, the further existence of this corridor who approach? well, 1st of all, wire more important. talked a lot about the importance of case to day visit here to asked and i in kazakhstan, while the west is put more and more pressure on russia, mostly through economic sanctions. willing eights isolation. moscow is seeking to strengthen corporation with its eastern central agency. i as partners, and this is probably one of the main reasons of why have like more witness here in

today's the russian leader take part in 3 important summit, including one which is brand new central asia, russia summit at totally most co initiative aimed at deepening relations between its 6 participants and uniting regional app her, it's in the place of mutual challenges and the outside precious trade williams are increasing. new supply routes are emerging, but a lot still needs to be done. library put in point to doubt, he talked about the need to use. national currents is more actually to provide financial secure, returning dependence over the countries in the region and pause. he said that the countries should unite their efforts encounter entirely soon. at the press conference. of course, journalists asked a lot of questions about the progress of moscow special mil to operation in ukraine, and whether we can expect more attacks on ukrainian strategic infrastructure in the near future. here's why we're putting this answer, just to persuade sure new all of the current events we would have eventually faced later only and worse conditions for us that sol. so we're acting correctly in an

untimely manner. of course, destroying ukraine has never been. i'll plan here is an example with crimea, where 2400000 people live. ukraine cut off their water. so our troops have to go in and open the water flow to crimea. this is an example of the mojo of our actions. right now, there is no need to massive strikes at the moment. we have other kinds of tasks, which there was a question about germany's negative role in ukraine's conflict. weimer wooden said that he believes that berlin is fight not by its obligations to nato, but he said that it is completely wrong to put the alliance's interests a had of the national ones there given, you know, germany must decide on his own what is more important to it, to fulfill its duties before its allies, in the way germany views it or to insure the interests of the nation and its people . in this case, it is germany's nato duties that being prioritized is this right for them. i think it's a mistake in the german people, businesses and economy of paying for this mistake. answering the question about

earlier a controversial comments by nato's chief that thrushes victory. ukraine will be a defeat for us all that's correlated. viewed as a confirmation, as approve of the alliance is direct involvement in the conflict in ukraine, and whether we can expect nay to, to send its troops on the ground weimer put and said that he believes that he hopes that there is smart enough not to do it because that would be, have very dangerous step that may lead to global catastrophe. just following recommendation is that how space x founder you on mosque has defended his decision to stop providing his starling internet satellite services to ukraine for free. it comes after ukrainian diplomat had this to say in response to your most recent proposals to and the conflict in the country. starling had been a game changer and the war. this comes days after ukrainian ambassador and re

melnik told musk to we're just following his recommendation. but we tell you the story from the very beginning when the russian offensive and ukraine began, the country experience, serious issues with internet services. and so spaces decided to donate thousands of starling kids to kia and they were absolutely essential for the cranium army, the troops were able to communicate, they were able to coordinate fire, stay in touch with their commanders, and now only a few days ago. so basics came under fire for reported outages in the areas of rain that were previously under the control of the russian army. the western media also reported that they led to a catastrophic loss of communication. it was also reported that the cranial army was totally dependent on the star lake because they even used it to call the us to

get help with maintenance on top of that and turned out that in the summer, one ukrainian general made a direct for west to elan mosque for additional $8000.00 starling systems. space ex faces terribly difficult decisions here. i do not think they have the financial ability to provide any additional terminals or service as requested by generals. i lose me earlier this month. elan musk made up proposal for peace in ukraine in a tweet and the reaction to that by your grading officials. ready was nowhere near gratitude for these starling systems. one of them use the f word like we just heard. and here's what the wife of another ukrainian official tweeted. your job is to provide star link and shut. i don't really think that elan musk was very insulted by that,

but it just happened that the news that spaces was no longer willing to pay for the key of came after that twitter spat. have we seen any reaction yet to you don't. must decision? well, some of us are clearly unhappy with how much tax spare money is going to you. great . and so it's easy to understand why the prospect of the pentagon splashing extra cash on extra installing systems would anger or some commentators even more was some pretty foreigner in a t shirt demanding money for his critical economic needs. we have critical economic needs to buddy who are you troll, go way. what since, when does that guy have a claim on our treasury? we don't know this guy, any thing. now, one thing. good luck, pow let's it that guys lecturing us for some christmas list like i want this that and i want a bicycle to you, but her son, it really appears buddy. well,

on top of that all of this is happening. while elan mosque is reportedly under a federal investigation related to his attempt at a twitter take over that's according to the social network, but they didn't provide any specific details. well, what can i say? l. a mosque always out there. always the center of attention, different kinds of attention, i should say. following the announcement from musk and advisor to the ukranian president adopted a software line when he took the twitter thing. star link had been crucial and critical moments of the war. he also said he still expects the company to keep providing ukraine with the services former us marine and geopolitical analysts, john mark, do again, believe ukraine appears to be biting the hand that feeds it. ilan mosque is a private individual. his company is a private company. he has been donating,

donating this technology to ukraine and he thinks the piece is the proper way to further our world. so when they tell him to shut up with his proposals and their, his only job is to provide starling. the actions of the ukrainians are disgusting and despicable. they come with their hands out they guild to everybody and to helping them under false pretenses. and then they cry when someone even has a suggestion or piece. this is not the proper way to do things. and you are mosque is not the only one that clashed with in recent days. bodamer zalinski has urged the red cross to take immediate action and conduct emission to the oil and no prisoner of war camp. and the non desk republic were members of the as of italian are being held. he's also accusing the organization of

a lack of leadership. poland, i believe the international committee of the red cross is not a club with privileges where one receives a salary and enjoys life. the red cross has obligations primarily of a moral nature. the mandate of the red cross must be fulfill is necessary to immediately do what is entirely logical for the red cross channel and the head of the ukrainian president's office demanded the red cross visit all in prison and done that within 3 days. adding the committee can't waste more time as human lives are at stake. he has also promised to contribute to this mission and every possible way, questioning why and i see ours, the mission to the prison has not yet been arranged. meanwhile, the red cross has shared its frustration on the lack of access to p, o w, and the russia ukrainian conflict saying they've been trying to get the access to the owner of prison with no success. they stress their teams on the ground are

ready to visit any location where ukraine's prisoners of war are held. but noted. this also requires practical arrangements to materialize on the spot. to discuss this as you further or less, cross lived your radio host and political commentator, steve gill, steve, it's great to have you on the program today. now ukrainian officials continue to pressure international organizations to fulfill their requests, often accusing them of not doing enough. do you think that this kind of approach could ultimately prove counterproductive here? i think it already is, and you're already seeing this war of words intensify when you have tucker carlson, calling him a troll. and other leader is telling each other that i've been using the f word, this is not helpful. or it's

as to be something that everybody should start seeking. yeah. and now when it comes to those prisoners of war there, i mean it's been a while since the as of fighters were captured and were subsequently targeted and account in attacks which he have in moscow blamed on each other. now he says that there can't be any more of a wait demanding and immediate red cross visit. why do you think that there have been such delays and is the red cross likely to act now because i was calling for it immediately? well, it's a war zone, so the red cross folks are going to be going into very dangerous territory. and as i think the red cross said it has to be worked out the logistics of getting that done. i pointed out that there recently been prisoner exchange, including some of the regiments being released back to ukraine, sort of ukrainians, prisoners that are russians being released to the russians. so there have been some

prisoner exchange that, that should again, indicate a thawing perhaps in the relations maybe opening the door to negotiations. and really just in the last week we've seen, president biden soften his tone somewhat. we said some of the european leaders, including president mccrae of france. you start talking about getting to negotiation table, and yet you've got the, let's give refusing any talking negotiations and increasing demand on the us that on, on others as the thug or carlton pointed out in that segment. you've got those, the lens eat demanding that us taxpayers fund his government operation. we've already sent over $66000000000.00 and now he's sending a tab for another 50 or $60000000000.00 the us taxpayer. he's demanded dado launch a preemptive strike on russia. he's making demands at a time that he really are becoming hat in hand and try to find the allies rather

than attacking those who helped, including a lot. but now what do you make of being behind those demands? i mean, you mentioned the 10s of billions of dollars that is being handed over that is being pledged to ukraine and to ski it over the last several months. so why do you think that we're seeing him become increasingly more demanding, especially at a time when, as you noted, there are other world leaders who are kind of taking a step back and saying, ok, maybe let's turn to talk was turned in negotiations and yet still in the seems to be doing the opposite. what do you make of that? yeah, i think the contrary to what we're getting with some of the ukrainian media propaganda, some of the western media, i don't think everything's all roses and happiness in terms of ukraine. quote, winning this war, i think he's increasingly desperate. he's increasingly saying that the money and the resources that have been provided have not been enough to, to end russia's occupation of what are now the, the areas that have been brought back in to russia by referendum of the people that

were in those areas. there were international observers that were they are, and again he must was attacked or simply suggesting if you don't like those observers, let's have another vote but end up sending some un observers in there. so i think the last piece feeling more and more pressure. i think they're more and more questions being raised by us taxpayer and members of the us congress on where has the money gone? what are we getting for our money? and i think those questions are going to continue to testify as the price tag goes up and the results seems to be missing. you know, we just had general keyed a former ado on the us military box contributor comment that it's only $66000000.00 is only 1.7 percent of our budget. well, out of that, we're getting 1.7 percent benefits, and i think folks in florida who just sustained a massive hurricane might feel that some, that 60000000 would be better spent here. rather than continuing to go into a whole that the denver and you're right. yeah, certainly

a lot of questions being raised about the priorities of the law makers in the us. now when it comes to the possibility of a red cross investigation here, do you think that it is possible for it to be truly impartial? especially when you look at something like that, recent amnesty international report, where really put a lot of backlash towards the organization based on their findings and what they reported. how do you see that turning out when it comes to what the red cross could bind and could report? again, the lensky ukrainian seem to be continually looking a gift horse in the mouth, attacking those who have been helping them. and again, when you're going ahead and kind of pre judging any investigation in the red cross or is the international investigation of how prisoners are being treated when you're attacking them before the results are attacking them. before the facts are in, it looks like is just part of the continuing propaganda. the african campaign that

has been so much what this whole conflict has been about on both sides. i don't know that we've seen many reports of how you crane is handling the, the civilian areas that have been under fire by, by ukraine. we only hear about the russian missile attacks on areas that include some civilians and them and other regions. but you've also had ukraine launching missiles and strikes in the civilian areas in the bass region. if this is the red cross and they're making sure that the civilians and the prisoners of war on both sides are being treated fairly and comfortable. yeah, and now finally, when it comes to really that patients running out from the west, do you see that eventually happening? especially as key has at times force fully demanded new arms and even more assistance. you know, we keep being told that ukraine is winning and yet while there are some reports on the battlefield, there that are not embedded reporters really on either side of the conflict to kind

of give us what's accurate the happening. and i think that that's, that's the reason we've had such a propaganda war in this case, where certainly in the western media, certainly, and in europe in the u. s. were on hearing one side of the story. and that is not a good thing. you know, for journalism is not a good thing for getting the truth, the fog of war is difficult enough. and with the absence of embedded journalists who are actually fair and reporting, i think that just makes the situation worse and makes it more difficult to find a resolution. there was a video of a, a, b, b, c reporter, lad in battle gear with the helmet crouching behind a wall, desperately reporting how the firing was going on and, and just, you know, 50 yards or so behind. and there was a lady walking her dog. i mean so, so what we're seeing doesn't what we're being told and i think that raises the question of how much are we also being told that wouldn't meet the test if our eyes actually saw? yeah, certainly a lot of daycare all around radio host and political commentator, steve gill,

thank you so much for your time in analysis. thanks right. rushes ambassador to the u. s. has strongly reviewed america, stanford university for hosting fighters from the premium. as all battalion you would appear that in his maniacal drive to thomaston, to cancel russia, the u. s. is prepared to glorify in the us isn't 2 weeks ago, the university hosted several as all representatives, including 2 former prisoners of war, recently released by russia and a prisoner swap. the guest spoke to university students and other yes. reading what the russian ambassador says are problematic ideas tied to their violent actions ago . founder of the regiment who attended the event denied any ties to neo naziism, and the far right, claiming all extremist work spelled when the group joined, the ukrainian national guard human and labor. right?

the lawyer dan balak believes it would just be embarrassing for washington to admit to dealing with neo nazi groups. well, because it's an inconvenient truth, isn't it? right? because the u. s. is backing a government with a very close ties with these neo nazi groups with groups like as of that have a disproportionate say in what happens in here in the government and the military. and so obviously it's embarrassing for the west while we're funding this military in ukraine. it's embarrassing to point out that some of those arms, some of the training the u. s. is giving, is going to neo nazi. so it's been down play that, i mean that, that's an obvious thing though it's, it's kind of incredible that almost every news report you see somehow they can even

avoid showing a nazi in the frame when it comes to ukraine because they do have such an influence there, but yes, that they are trying to downplayed for that reason. washington is imposing unrealistic conditions for south africa transition to cleaner energy, while apparently pursuing its own financial interest in the matter that the local se, the deal would not benefit their economy. r t correspondent, corolla has the story. the west has been, he think, political and economic pressure on south africa to accelerate the pace of its energy transition. if a contentious issue to the the least, and as the 27th united nations climate change conference approaches. negotiations between south africa and western countries over the terms of an $8500000000.00 deal . as starting to show how it's slanted in favor of western countries to start off

with 80 percent of the money is loaned and not grants, and had high interest rate true. the rising interest rates, environment was seeing in the west means that investment capital is getting more expensive for poor countries. as of africa already has a high dead burden. the 8 and a half $1000000.00 deal has never made sense. in the 1st instance, it is nothing but a sinister scheme in europe in the united states who do so at the behest of greedy profiteer in privateers. also, it is in foreign currency. that is a problem also because the south african rent continues to weaken against major currencies. and that weakening with the higher interest rates. it makes it unaffordable. the country is currently experiencing rolling blackouts, and there's a wide school of thought that an opportunity was missed to solve the energy crisis . when treasury rejected a deal to build a nuclear power plant over

a decade ago. now, even though nuclear has had several problems over 50 countries in the world continue to rely on it with hundreds of reactors wild life. there is no reason whatsoever why nuclear in this country should not constitute 50 percent of the electricity generation with forces feels still being there mainstay because i'd africa has got when over 120 years of cold reserves left. if we double our current cold production, which said about 250000000 tons, like many of it. so both south economies, south africa, is trying to balance its environmental responsibilities against its own developmental needs. but ahead of the club, 27 conference and pressure from the west does responsibility some needs. and at what cost south africa is expected to focus on economy impact,

which is more on economic development and employment growth. and as secondary to dot, it will be when we are producing enough, and then you will prioritize as well on environmental consequences, but you can prioritize on environmental consequences when you're done harrigan. economic impacts. for many, the most controversial aspect of the supposed energy transition is how western countries want to give loans to developing countries. but with some self serving conditions that they are own energy renewable companies must being used. lock out production of a you a bill energy components will a give us an advantage of employment, a growth which then will solve 2 problems, will be able to transition to a renewable energy while we are developing the economy as well. for now, however,

the roadmap is still unclear as to where the country wants to go and how it gets day. i miss the west escalating pressure to transition. we will have to see where the energy comes from and i will it as a r t and join us back. a top secret assess, met by berlin, stated the north stream to pipeline pose no risks to european or german energy security. the report was drawn up for months before the start of the war by the previous german government led by chancellor ongoing merkel, and was only recently declassified. in summation, the evaluation has concluded that granting certification for nord stream too, does not jeopardize the security of the gas supply of germany and the european union. the pipeline increases the resilience of the european gas supply system by providing an additional capacity buffer for peak demand. the question is,

is for mergers as our angular merkel about to be tossed under the nato war bus. well, you know, some speed bumps. it certainly come in handy at this point on route to mass, public outrage over energy related sanctions that risk fighting europe, particularly hard as winter approaches. and now this newly declassified top secret sherman security assessment of the north string to pipeline dating back talk tobar 2021. so as you say, just 4 months before everything popped off and ukraine and while merkel was still chancellor included that quote, the granting of certification of north street he does not jeopardize the security of gas supply in germany and european union. in other words, no national security problems for germany and doubling down on russian gas. but critics are now blasting merkel as the assessment and, and saying that she's being naive here that the assessment was i, everybody was just naive and nobody woke up to it. so here's merkel now defending her government's approach to russia. i'll sit on monday and have you always act in the time in which you find yourself from the perspective of that time. it was very

rational and understandable to get pipeline gas, including from russia that was cheaper than l. m. d from other parts of the world. it's worth noting that current chancellor, all s sholtes was merkel vice chancellor at the time of this report. and his weakness now and failing to resist russell's energy sanctions places germany's industry. so the blocks economic driver on the front line of sanctions blow back, particularly given the countries over reliance on an on ripened at best green energy strategy. and by the way, those green energy fantasies of shunning coal and nuclear for germany were only made possible thanks to cheap russian gas. so rather than taking responsibility for any decisions or better yet altering course to the benefit of the country right now . well, looks like the strategy here is just to point and yell at merkel with this conveniently declassified report. as for merkel having been naive, these are the russia. well, it's important to remember that everything is fine. a till the you and germany

decide to finally stop resisting long standing us efforts. you have europe cut itself off from cheap russia. yes. with quote, for ukraine being apparently the magic words that finally sold germany on its own economic and industrial suicide to the ultimate competitive benefit of washington. to your political expert, pierre and manuel to mont suggest that the document has been declassified. now to shift attention away from the recent attack on the nord stream pipelines at the time of when his report was written. oh, it was of you sir, for the, for the germans, but tour or russian gus impulse, it wasn't reliable for germany. content of his of paper is money rated to accuse on good america in order to avoid or reader. busy burrito question, who is behind the earth,

terrorist act against no stream or piper pipelines been union will be the loser of the situation. because or they don't want to understand that the united states and united kingdom, poland, are made everything in order to stop vis or a russian gas impulse. and at the same time, or they will need to the ghazi ports and are really be obliged to to importer garza for turkey. i figured your future under it would be a problem because of course the we pay more that we pay more to a turkey of a repair, a more to united states for the shade garza, instead of having it reliable the pipe rode directly between you and russia, and my next pleasure, northern turkey has killed at least 25 people leaving dozens more.
