a go. busy lety of shed parity for mankind. so always going to be calling woke piece is against a wall of any. so this will be the may objective and in terms of handle sions with all the other major players around the world. i think china is always going to be the party that promotes piece and the cooperation. and even though countries that take as a competitor it is co walk instead of go up instead of competition. i think that's going to be the main hope. ah, washington is imposing unrealistic conditions for south africa transition to cleaner energy,

while apparently pursuing its own financial interest in the matter that local, say, the deal would not benefit their economy or to correspond to the corroborate. let's have a has more on the story. the west has been here think political and economic pressure on south africa to accelerate the pace of its energy transition. if a contentious issued to feel 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 with 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 $1000000000.00 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 wide. there is no reason whatsoever why nuclear in this country should not constitute 30 percent of the

electricity generation. with forces feels still being there mainstay because i'd africa has got well 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. it's environmental responsibilities against its own developmental needs. but ahead of the cop 27 conference and pressure from the waste, that's responsibility. trump needs. and at what cost? south africa is expected to focus on the economy impact, which it 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 don't have an economy

impact. 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, lockout production are viewable energy components will 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 missed the west escalating pressure to transition. we will have to see whether energy comes from that ability to

r t and china's back a mine exposure and northern turkey has killed at least 25 people, leaving dozens more trapped, 300 meters underground. according to the interior minister, 49 miners working in the deep south were trap. when the blast happen, this video footage shows those rescued being transferred to ambulances in a state of shock. the cause of the explosion has not yet been identified as the local prosecutor's office has begun an investigation. however, the countries energy ministers of the blast could have been caused by fire down an explosive mixture of air and methane found in coal mines. just following recommendations that south space ex founder you on mark has defended his decision to stop providing is darling to internet satellite service to crane for free. it comes after ukrainian diplomat had this to say in response to most

recent proposals to end the conflict in the country. starling had been a game changer in the war. this comes days after the cranium ambassador and re melnik told musk 2 were just following his recommendation. potential between musk and key or spark to bias theories of tweets from the billionaire in which you speculate it on a possible peaceful resolution to the conflict in ukraine and the future of the former ukrainian regions. give officials were quick to shoot down the statements planning much for his alleged support of russia. as most cars stopped providing free starling services to kiev, ukrainian authorities have back tracked on their harsh rhetoric towards the billionaire with an adviser to the ukranian president expressing hope. the key will still get the service. as starlight has been crucial and critical moments of the war,

the donated satellite internet has helped ukrainian troops communicate and operate drones on the battlefield. former us marine and geo political analysts. john mark doogan believes ukraine appears to be biting the hand that feeds it. elan mosque is a private individual, his company is a private company. he has been donating, donating this technology to ukraine, and he thinks that 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 starlings. 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 of piece, this is not the proper way to do things. and you are mosque is not the only one who

has clash with in recent days. lot, amir zalinski has are the red cross to take immediate action and conduct emission to the prisoner of war camp. and the don esque republic were members of the as a battalion are being held. he's also accusing the organization of a lack of leadership is come. poland, i believe the international committee of the red cross is not a club with privileges where one receives this 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. to the head of the ukrainian president's office demanded the red cross visit the prison and done ask within 3 days, adding the committee can't wait more time as human lives are at stake. he has also promised to contribute to this mission and every possible way. questioning why an i

c r c mission to the prison had not yet been arranged. meanwhile, the red cross has shared his frustration on the lack of access to p. o w in russia, ukrainian conflict saying they've been trying to get access to the prison where ukrainian soldiers are being held of it 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 note it, this also requires practical arrangements to materialize on the spot. we discuss the issue with radio host and political commentator, steve gill, who believes key ab shouldn't look a gift. horse in the mouth are seeing the war of words intensify when you have top officials, you know, telling folks to shut up using the f word. you know, they're being very aggressive in their language and that's not typically the best way to win friends and influence people. they are asking for help and they shouldn't be demanding help. they shouldn't be attacking those that are providing

the help. and just in the last week we said the president bible soften his tone somewhat. we said some of the european leaders, including president mcroy of france, you know, start talking about getting to negotiation table. and yet you've got to lead steve refusing any talk and increasing demand on the us that on, on others lensky, ukrainian, seem to be continually looking a gift horse in the mouth attacking those you've been helping them. and again, when you're going ahead and kind of pre judging any investigation, any red cross or is the international investigation of how prisoners are being treated when you're attacking them before the results are at attacking them before the facts are in, it looks like is just part of the continuing propaganda and the campaigns, ah, russia, the master to the us has strongly reviewed america, stanford university for hosting fighters from the ukranian. as all battalion you

would appear that in his maniacal drive to town as an account for russia. the u. s . is prepared to glory, find out says, and 2 weeks ago the university hosted several as our representative, including 2 former prisoners of war, recently released by russia and a prisoner swap. the guest spoke to university students and other guests spreading . what the russian ambassador says are, quote, problematic ideas tied to their violent actions ago, founder of the regiment who attended the event denied any ties to new naziism and the far right, claiming all extreme work spelled when the group joined, the ukrainian national guard, human and labor rights lawyer, dan, co valley. i believe it would just be embarrassing for washing to and 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. busy 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, he's going to neo nazi. so it's been down like that. i mean that, that's an obvious thing though 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 down play for that reason. the u. s. has pledged a new military aid package due crane worth $725000000.00 that will include munitions and military vehicles. at the same time,

the west and ukraine reportedly provided some funds to isis recruiters to help them find fighters for the ukraine conflict. artillio trego explains. the war and ukraine is unique in so many ways. here's another reason for you. it's where you can find a american or european citizen fighting on the same side of the front line with jihadists together for one cause to get rid of the russians, right? islamist dogs, some are already there, like i'll show later. some could be on the way. thanks to who how did you get my job was to recruit foreign isn't funds isis? activate ellison? we received funds from ukraine, spain in germany, and only one foreign and joined the organization. we received $15000.00 from ukraine, $5000.00 euros from germany, and $1500.00 euro from spain. so here is allegedly splashing the cast to get

terrorists on their side from as far as of dennis dan, this was apparently a video confession of an isis affiliate recruiter recently arrested in kabul. ok, maybe the guy was under pressure, but if only that was the sole example of links between terrorist groups and ukraine . it was reported that earlier this year, around $450.00 militants from the syrian branch of old qaeda, traveled to ukraine to join key of forces. it must have been a while since you last heard about the free syrian army. well, fighters from the us back militia are apparently in ukraine to the militia, intertwined with ices, like evidence, has shown. here's how one syrian rebel earlier on said he was gearing up for new war. i promised the russian forces, waging aggression against the ukrainian people that i will not spare them. and i

will make mountains of russian tanks and armour, which i will destroy as soon as i enter ukraine. and here's his new tweet from ukraine with a syrian opposition flag. how much do they earn? reportedly $1500.00 a month. who pays them? supposing the ukraine, who's bank rolling ukraine right now? the west. i'm not going to go on about taxpayers money too much, but you know what i mean. and yet, some of the hardest are now receiving cash out of the pockets of nato countries, which spend trillions of dollars on the fight on terror terrorists yesterday. but freedom fighters today, you know, the eagerness of such people to destroy anything russian certainly does nothing to dispel the theory that some ukrainian fighters have a radical ideology. but the parallels don't just and at a desire to shoot at russians. and you know, those are still that it is obvious that the instigators for organizes and perpetrators of the terrorist attack on the crime in breach of the ukrainian social

services. the. the key regime has long use terrorist tactics. they have b use methods i increasingly reminiscent of ices and the corridor, no wonder the root causes behind the appearance of these structures. all the same. we've seen a hotel where journalists stayed destroyed. we've seen the crimea bridge car bombed . no wonder all kite is giving key of moral support by posting the count of russian losses. oh, well, the head scarf ban is now allowed in, workplaces across europe as long as it's applied to all employees. equally. the court of justice as the prohibition if applied in a blanket fashion would not discriminate against anyone and undertakings. terms of employment which prohibit work is from manifesting through words through clothing or in any other way. their religious beliefs does not constitute direct

discrimination, provided that that provision is applied in a general and on differentiated way. the latest ruling stems from a dispute which began 4 years ago when a muslim woman wearing a headscarf reported religious discrimination after being denied an internship at the belgian company. the firm rejected her 1st appeal. she refused to comply with his neutrality policy after her 2nd appeal of the companies that its rules forbid any type of head covering about in court struggled with the case and therefore sought recommendations from the use court of justice. meanwhile, the e. u has agreed to sanction or wrong over its response to protest, sparked by the death of masa. ne, who died after being arrested by the police over an alleged failure to properly cover her head. women took to the streets across, or ron and other countries, with some ripping off their head scarves and cutting their hair and solidarity. you commission, president. ursula vander lion has already advocated for iranian women's freedom and

their right to choose their attire. the u. s. has already targeted some erroneous senior officials as part of noose avenue sanctions. waive in the wake of albany is death accusing the country of a craft down as a ron deployed police to quote, protest. while the usa department has stress that the iranians, internal affairs are now washington's focus. earlier, we spoke a political analyst and researcher christopher la lee, who says that by supporting protesters on the iranian stories, the west is working towards reaching regime change in the country. this ship is part of the larger plan for resume change against the atlantic republic of iran . this provides the perfect opportunity for the, the west that collectively to say, oh look at us with our liberal values. let's support these women on the streets.

very small number of women in the fifty's on the street. and let's over 30 lumnick republic. let's overthrow the ion of lucian. and let's carry out the resume. change we've been trying to do in 979, but have failed to do. so i think ultimately what we are seeing now is, i think a trojan horse of a situation in the name of human rights once again. and humanitarian is the west is coming. but behind them are the arm, the sanctions that does the massacres at the departure. and i think it's coming to be very careful of because ultimately what we most year is the bulk and is ation of iran. and that's exactly what the west has been trying to do to part of a be run into this re a major power in the middle east. in your view, why did the european court go for a conditional ban instead of allowing absolute freedom to exercise, religious faith? and what sort of precedent is that by this decision? i think this is part of a long term strategy that's been happening throughout europe. we have to recognize

that the western europe has traditionally and historically been very it's lemme phobic. ultimately what europe is trying to do is it's trying to say that you come to europe and you must be european nice in our way. you cannot have your own traditions and culture leader will be induction in our way. so at the same time when they tell other countries all be open and pluralistic, they don't want that liberalism in europe. they want the people to be secular. they want the people to focus on individual ism versus their communities and their collective life. and ultimately, they want people to be rid of their spiritual and religious tradition. radio host, alex jones, often label the conspiracy theorists and provocative for has been ordered to pay nearly $1000000000.00 for broadcasting false information about the 2012 shooting at sandy hook elementary school on his info. word podcast. art is caleb mom and try to figure out what lies behind the u. s. justice systems decision. it's commonly said

that american liberty is and where someone else's know is begins. a connecticut jury has just ruled that alex jones inflicted emotional trauma when he used his freedom of expression on his radio program. some people aren't buying it. it all stems from the sandy hook elementary school shooting on december 14th, 2012. that's when adam lanza, a 20 year old shooter killed 26 people on that day. at the time alex jones thought that this shooting might have been a false flag. he said so on his program. now he later retracted and even apologized to the victims. but the family members have now taken him to court for defamation. now this certainly isn't the 1st time alex jones has gone to court around this issue. but this time the pay out he's expected to give the family members is pretty high. i think it's the largest defamation verdict in us history, certainly on compensatory damages. jones is pretty pessimistic,

but says he's planning an appeal. we can, we can, we can for 2 years appeal this, we're not going anywhere. nuclear world, probably on the show before that unfortunately, is this really justice? well, who doesn't feel sympathy for the family members of the victims of that hernandez, shooting, but a $1000000000.00 to be paid out in damages simply for reporting. a conspiracy theory seems a bit hard to manage, especially if you look at what purdue pharma had to pay out in their lawsuit. this is a big pharma corporation manufacturer o b o. then was accused of gown playing the dangers of addictive medication, pushing doctors to over prescribe. there have been hundreds of thousands of opioid related deaths. that's in addition to the many who suffered joblessness, homelessness, and family breakdowns all from this epidemic of obesity. lloyd addiction, sweeping the united states, but produced pharma only had to pay $6.00 bill in dollars. something certainly

seems odd when it comes to how human life is being measured in the united states these days. perhaps this isn't a case of good old american blind justice, but there is some political manipulation going on behind the scenes. caleb martin, r t. new york. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t. v dot com for all of the latest breaking news and updates was the right back here at the top of the hour. ah. with ah!

north atlantic alliance, recognizance aircraft, and wolf shipped, cruising close to russia's borders has become commonplace. along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises, nato has also developed its offensive capability near the russian borders. ah ah, every year a russian back resolution is submitted to the un against the glorification of notes is of the outcome is always the same. few as votes against it and in recent years with ukrainian backing with typically that you obtains, ah, but with most countries voting in favor, the document is accepted, but it's only advisory.
