always going to be calling woke. peace is against a wall of any so this will be the may objective and in terms of handling actions was all the other major players around the world. i think china is always going to be the party that promotes peace and cooperation. and even though countries that take as a competitor it is. busy co instead of co. busy up instead of competition, i think that's going to be you know, the main narrative hope will bring you more of our special coverage of the key summit and beijing in the coming days. so stay tuned.

amanda washington is imposing unrealistic conditions for south africa's transition to cleaner energy, while apparently pursuing its own financial interest in the matter that as local say, the deal would not benefit their economy. archie, corresponding corolla thoughtless as 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 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 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 $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 re excess wild lives. there is no reason whatsoever why nuclear in this country should not constitute 30 percent of the electricity generation. with fossils feels still being there mainstay. because out 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 club, 27 conference and pressure from the west does responsibility some 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 that, 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 the our own energy renewable companies must being used, glucose production, o 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 miss the west escalating pressure to transition. we will have to see whether energy comes from that ability to oddity. and john is back just following recommendations as how space ex founder e. one mosque has defended his decision to stop providing his starling internet satellite services to ukraine for free. it comes after a ukrainian diplomat has this to say in response to your most recent proposals and the conflict in the country. starling had been a game changer and the war. this comes days after he craning ambassador and re melnik told musk to were just following his recommendation. the tension between musk n t for sparks by a series of tweets from the billionaire. and which he speculated on a possible peaceful resolution to the conflict in ukraine and the future of the former ukrainian regions. kiev officials were quick to shoot down the statements

slamming musk for his alleged support of russia. as mas kaz stopped providing free sterling services to key as ukrainian authorities have backtracked on their harsh rhetoric toward the billionaire with an adviser to the cranium president expressing hope that he will still get the service. star link has been crucial in critical moments of the war. donated satellite internet has held ukrainian troops communicate and operate drones on the battlefield. to discuss this further, let's cross live now to geo political analysts and former us marine bryan for elect . brian is great to have you on the program today. now you want to mask appears to be the 1st sponsor to really go after this demands because of its harsh rhetoric. why do you think that the billionaire decided to make such a move and why?

right now? it's really hard to say for sure, but you lot mosque is a very intelligent man. it looks like he was rope into this self destructive u. s. foreign policy. this supporting of the regime in kiev, maybe over the last couple of months. he's done some research into these some of the military groups that are using his darling terminals. and maybe he thinks this is not in the best interest of himself in his interests and america's interest, which is very self evident. so maybe this is just him rethinking his initial support for this conflict. right? yeah, definitely a lot of questions there. now given everything that we've heard from you on mosque, over the last couple of weeks, just on twitter, do you expect more actions like this? especially when you hear from yeah, really their criticism towards musk of him speaking out and saying anything that

doesn't go along with the narrative that much of the west is put out there. why? absolutely. what you create is doing is taking the mask off. we're told this is a fight between democracy against authoritarianism, but it's actually the regime in kiev and their western backers who demand absolute obedience, the man, but no one questions, anything. and that's exactly what you crate is doing right now. they're demanding that no one questions, anything. they just shut off and supporting them and ask no questions, which is highly unreasonable if you're claiming to be a democracy and on the, on the side of good. yeah, no. speaking of that response from ukraine, i mean after musk stopped his free starling service in ukraine. we saw a bit of a softening in the comments from officials and key. yeah. so what do you make of this reaction from ukraine's government? what does it tell us about the way that the country builds relations with this allies? well,

it reflects how childish immature and unprofessional everyone in the regime actually is. these people were picked and installed the, the power by the u. s, because they are irrational. they are extremists, and they will pursue a foreign policy that will destroy the entire country we're watching that happen in real time. and part of being mature as speaking without thinking. now that now they have done some thinking and they realize we shouldn't have said that, but it's too late. the damage is thought i also saw that you must, with added to the notorious crating kill less, and then quickly taken off and we've heard from the western media that the kill us has no connection to. yeah. but obviously someone does have a connection to them and told them to take it because of the soft thing. just just as you mentioned. yeah. now when it comes to really the government's actions here and the impact of all we know, the starling systems were vital for ukrainian forces in many ways. so how could the

situation on the ground change now, especially when you on isn't as willing to continue providing those services for free? i think the pentagon will figure out a way to keep this service going, one way or another, even if they have to rely on a totally different solution. i think overall starlight was going to help ukraine when they're obviously not winning. starlight was not going to be the determining factor if anything, it'll just speed up the inevitable. right, and now finally, we know that mosque has asked the u. s. government to pay for the sterling systems to continue to work. and ukraine is you notice that is a big possibility. now, do you expect to washington to follow and absorb the costs? and do you think that we're likely to see more speaking out from you on must, especially given the fact that he's one of those people who, it seems like the backlash that he gets, the more of that he gets,

the more he wants to really speak out and push against the grain, so to speak. yes, i think the pentagon is going to have no choice, extremely unreasonable to ask a private company to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to support a losing war the. the way you, i'm asking us to be backed up and at i think it's starting to realize that his participation in this part of the war with russia is going to lead to similar action taken against china. mosse has a very positive relationship. busy with china, this will cost in the long right to keep thinking about the long term impact that self destructive spiral but west is in and his participation in it has, has had on himself and his future prospect. hopefully others are going to look at your model standing up and follow his example. unfortunately, i think more and more pressure will be for them to get back to me on a certainly a lot of moving parts there. geopolitical analysts and former us marine bryan

berlin. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. and you on mosque is not the only one who has class with in recent days lot and we're zalinski has urged the red cross to take immediate action and conduct emission to the prisoner of war camp and on ask republic where members of the as of italian are being held, he's also accusing the organization of a lack of leadership. i'm a balloon. 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 helped negations primarily of moral nature. the mandate of the red cross must be fulfilled is necessary to immediately do what is entirely logical for the red cross go to the head of the ukrainian president's office demanded the red cross visit the prison in dannetta within 3 days. adding the committee can't waste more time as human lives are at stake. he

have also promised to contribute to this mission every possible way. questioning why an i c r c 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's in the russia, ukraine conflict saying they've been trying to get access to a prison where ukrainian soldiers are being held avia 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 kiev shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth or seeing the war of words intensify when you have top officials. you're 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 to help. and just in the last week we said president bible soften, his tone somewhat received some of the european leaders, including president crowd of france. you start talking about getting to negotiation table, and yet you've got to, let's give refusing any talk of the go she action 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 attacking them. before the facts are in, it looks like is just part of the continuing propaganda and the after book campaigns. the u. s. has pledged

a new military aid packaged ukraine were $725000000.00 that will include munitions and military vehicles. the same time the west and ukraine reportedly provided some funds to isis recruiters to help them find fighters for the ukraine. conflict or cheese ilia for tranquil, explains the war, and ukraine is unique in so many ways. here's another reason for you. it's where you can find 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 though to the, how did you can my job was to recruit foreign isn't funds isis, activist ellison. we received funds from ukraine, spain in germany, and only one foreign that 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 soul 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, our parents, the 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 a 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 am to ukraine. and here's his new tweed from ukraine, with a syrian opposition flag. how much do they earn? reportedly $1500.00 a month. who pays them? suppose 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, 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. but you know, those are still,

it is obvious that the gators organize this until portrayed us of the terrorist attack on the crime in breach of the ukrainian special services that they keep. regime has long use terrorist tactics. there'd be used methods i increasingly reminiscent of ices and the kinder 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 kinds of giving key of moral support by posting the count of russian losses. oh, well the, israel's actions have cause 97 percent of garz's drinking water to be so polluted. this basically undrinkable. that's according to a statement by the euro, mediterranean human rights monitor and the global institute for water environment

and health. now step is 97 percent of goodness. what is the company situation made substantially worse? plan acute electricity crisis. this type of so creation of water winds and switching us there is no possible justification whatsoever for the situation. and it is incumbent on occupying the authority and the international community. fully guaranteed, doesn't say toward a security. the water problem in the region has been an ongoing issue for 14 years due to israel's blockade, but may is 11 day offensive against the islamic jihad and other militant groups significantly worse than the situation. israel had previously pledged your improve living conditions and gaza. we spoke to some locals and government officials to gauge the scale of the crisis. michigan, tap water homes, children's health. it causes worms skin diseases and is dangerous for kidney patients. unfortunately, we have no alternatives, but when my children get sick, we have to use the water from the fountain that has been established in our area.

it is hard as my children have to walk a great distance to get there. besides, there is usually a crowd, my children may also have to fight with other children to collect some water. however, i feel that even this water is not clean to a facility to come on. the water consumption figures in the gaza strip are low due to water scarcity, however, will not the type, the middle east suffers from water scarcity in the gaza strip as a result of the israeli blockade. and the fact it controls water resources and we have no opportunity to find an alternative. at the moment around water is unfit for human use due to the high percentage of salts and nitrates. it needs to be treated and disseminated by extracting from under ground, put through a filtration process and then sterilized. and we d cell in 8 water with high efficiency, so 80 percent of it becomes usable. a headscarf fan is now allowed and work places 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 any one. an 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 a belgian company, the firm rejected her 1st appeal. she refused to comply with his neutrality policy . after her 2nd appeal, the company said its rules forbid any type of head covering a belgian 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 sparks by the death of masa me who died after being arrested by the police over an alleged

failure to properly cover her head. women took to the stories are cross iran and other countries with some are ripping off their heads guards and cutting their hair in 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 are ronnie and senior officials as part of a new wave of sanctions in the wake of almeni's death, accusing the country of a crackdown, a ron deployed police to call protest while the us state department has stressed that the iranians internal affairs are now, washington focus earlier, we spoke to political analyst and researcher christopher holly, who says that by supporting protests on the iranian stories, the west is working towards waiting. we're jean change in the country. this shift is part of the larger plan for resume change against the atlantic republic of iran

. this provides a perfect opportunity for the, the west. the collectively to say, oh, look at us with our liberal values. let's support these women on the street. the very small number of women in the cities on the street. and let's over 30 islamic republic. let's overthrow the iranian evolution. 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, the west is coming. but behind them are the arms. the thing, sions, the would be, does the massacres, add the torture? and i think it's something to be very careful of because ultimately what we most is the bulk is ation of iran. and that's exactly what the west has been trying to do to part of a be run into destroy a major power in the middle east in your view. why did your p and court go for a conditional ban? instead of allowing absolute freedom to exercise,

religious faith and what sort of precedent is set 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 islam of a big ultimately what europe is trying to do is it's trying to say that you come to europe and you must be european eyes in our way. you cannot have your own traditions and culture, you 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 hosts alex jones often label. the conspiracy theorist has been ordered to pay nearly $1000000000.00 for broadcasting false information

about the 2012 shooting at sandy hook elementary school on his info award podcast. r t z kaleb mop. it tries to figure out what lies behind the u. s. justice systems, decisions. it's commonly said that american liberties 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,
