8:05 am
a be town of yay square. the tragedy happened is on the as off see, which is in the same part of russia. as for example, door nance cross stove, the court main bridge. but then on the other hand, it's very far from the front line about 150 kilometers and the ministry of defense as being very specific that to it had nothing to do with the war, specifically was at training flight and there was no ammunition on board earlier we heard from the russian military officials that the aircraft suffered an engine failure before it crashed, but the pilots have managed to eject safely. now, we are hearing from the emergencies ministry that the blaze has been contained. but before that, we saw all the floors of the 9 story building in flames. this is,
8:06 am
of course, an astonishing seeing and a very gruesome tragedy. the su $34.00 is a supersonic fighter jet. it has been in servants in service, sorry since 2014. so we cannot blame it on the lack of experience with this particular fighter jet rushes, senior officials, including the governor of their cross and our region, and also the minister of emergencies are on the way to the site of the crash. so we will bring you more updates as they come in on that terrible tragedy. in the news, the e u has been unable to reach agreements on a price cut on russian gas with member states divided on the issue mid concerns over the energy crisis. now it comes as china said, it says austin states owned gas impulses, so holds retails to europe in order to protect its domestic supply, as well as cross live. now to all contributes rachel mars. and thanks for joining
8:07 am
this, rachel. now, of course, lots of news. the effects in the european energy market, what's going on? so up until now, europe has been able to fall back on some other energy options and sticking it to russian president vladimir putin cutting itself off from cheap russian gastro sanctions. specifically, the block could rely on liquefied natural gas from china, which as the world's largest buyer was selling europe a surplus. but even those options haven't been sufficient to avoid industrial closures rationing in winter black up threats. but if you thought things couldn't possibly get a worse, well, they just might yet find that is reportedly planning to stop selling it surplus to europe, the national development and reform commission, the nation's top economic planner, asked petro china, co sin opec, and canoe guilty de, to keep winter cargoes for domestic use, a move by china to secure its own supply, could drain shipments to europe, and exacerbate the regions energy crunch. in the case of a cold winter,
8:08 am
imagine that a country actually place in the interest of its own people. first, maybe you should have tried that instead of sacrificing the blocks on citizens coat, or you crane, and then whining about social unrest, well clutching their pearls over the rise of the anti establishment, right? so how much gas has china supplied to the e u while about 7 percent side supply of supply since the 1st half of the year? that support a chinese broker figure, some of which is just rushing yeah. sold the china then export to europe. because at the same time as china increase sales to europe in ports of l, n, g from moscow did as well. so russia, yes, laundered through china has conveniently allow the you to maintain its virtuous public posture while effectively boosting rushing gas sales. seems like the only big losers in this rate are you citizens. and remember this new supply curve would
8:09 am
come in. it's fine when you had already agreed on a block wide savings initiative of 10 percent energy savings until march 2023. so is that even enough? now, given these new development that, that's a big question, but at least you're can still rely on its best friend america, right. after all, it was washington that coax brussels into this reckless bender and intersection itself. we're going to say with great friendship toward our american friends, our norwegian friends, that you are great. you provide us with gas, but there is one thing that can not last for long to pay $4.00 times the price that isn't the exact meaning of friendship. oh such great friends and great friendships that you have to beg them not to drastically overcharge you for gas when the increasingly find themselves in a position of monopoly over your economy and industry. i believe that's called checkmate. so all the rest of the world daffy carries on europe is operating from
8:10 am
a position of weakness and desperation in even evoking a trap on the sale price of gas as a buyer. when the sellers have all the options in the world, literally, it's a race against the clock for europe at of winter, and the lights are already starting to flicker. or rachel, thanks for giving us the latest on that's energy crisis over in europe. that's also contributed rachel marston. thank you. one person in east africa dyes of starvation every 36 seconds. the grim statistic was published by ox from as the region continues to struggle with the worst drought seen in 40 years. now it comes as the un food and agriculture organization has urged a famine to be officially declared in somalia, where thousands could die due to food shortages if measures on taken immediately. we should not wait for a famine declaration to act because then it will be too late. the current drought
8:11 am
is the worst that we've seen in the last 4 decades. it is affected about 7800000 people. so just to put things in perspective, this is about half a somali population. 90 percent of the country is facing extreme drought. the situation could be eased by increasing imports of agricultural produce with some plans arrive as part of the grain deal agree between russia, turkey and ukraine, which aim to help the world's poorest countries. over western promises all food aid to the most vulnerable nations have not yet been fulfilled. according to keith's own dates are just under a 1000000 sons out of 5 and a half 1000000, so has reached africa with the rest going to high and middle income countries. that james euro, agricultural experts and economist explained how extreme weather and western indifference affects african issues of why we got older is not always on the top least and priority or western countries. i don't think even if you look at the
8:12 am
location, i create an o a t as in tom, some economy development. i think that western countries to cut the priorities there is a major crisis in the. ready horn of africa, where i think the entropy to be experiencing one of the biggest brought over the last 60 years or 20 percent 20 meter people have been adversely affected. and about 5 or 6 countries within the home of africa affected. and i think the last thing we had a lot of this magnitude, a similar system was in 2009. but this one has come in because of loc late over the last 5 seasons. so yes, there is a very, very big disaster minute, a real being destroyed and a lies are being rushed. us has suggested deploying
8:13 am
international military forces to haiti, where the government is still going to deal with rights. ah, thousands took to the streets across high t on monday, demanding the country's prime minister, step down the process or up to just hours after an emergency meeting of the un security council about the ongoing crisis. the governments requested foreign troops are deployed immediately for the protest is continued to show that discontent. we don't need an occupation of our country who can find solutions in our own. why don't they strengthen the police and the army? whoa to them if they come to our land, because we don't need them here to day in the yes, they're calling on foreign us to come and torture us because they already have a habit of doing this. they have already come for time, so our country as an intervention force, this has never brought any changes to us. on the contrary,
8:14 am
they gave the for president a, could the tar exiled him grapes stall, everything from our goats chaw, gold mines. where calling in the united states, canada, and france to remove embassies from the country, we'll burn them because we'll be doing the same as the people have broken a fast. so sri lanka, the haitians outrage with potential foreign troop deployments has escalated in recent weeks. while the u. s continues to push for an international assistance mission on the ground. the 2nd resolution we're working on with authorize a nun, you an international security assistance mission to help improve the security situation and enabled the flow of desperately needed humanitarian aid. this resolution will propose a limit it carefully scoped none un mission, led by a partner country with the deep necessary experience required for such an effort to be effective. without statements follows the un chiefs recommendation to send
8:15 am
a rapid response force to haiti, and the u. s. on canada have already sent security equipments, including tax colon on the vehicles, 2, the troubled island, latin american and caribbean studies. professor daniel shaw says that haitians want us to stop meddling in their affairs. so our antique quotation mark, this is what washing has done to panama. it's a 1965. how many interventions and occupations washington continues to think that have the caribbean, central american atmosphere or back yard man. leave us alone. what i'm hearing from the haitian school here in the christ hayes that they want to hear from the event as well as the boulevard, the balloons, the russians, the chinese, they want to hear from the multi polar world. not from the utah world of the united states. in their lackeys and they want to have critical conversations about he's
8:16 am
future about reparations, about how to repair, how many centuries of brutal white supremacist exploitation was a categorical. busy of by the in link in the u. n. b to once again for the 4th time, 100 years occupied, $82.00 major events in china now where the 3rd day. busy the chinese communist parties, congress is on their way. ah, the summits focusing on domestic policy decisions, economic development on foreign affairs has seen some western media focus on upon threats. with beijing being accused of ha, bring super power ambitions, romping on tensions with the us. an increasing the risk of war, which i one let's get the latest from the congress from c g
8:17 am
t n correspondent di kathy, who's joining us now live from beijing. di, thanks very much for joining us. good afternoon to you. a good evening. i guess it is over the afternoon. thank you. so we, early, we had the chinese delegates, the congress, they addressed the media about the food security situation in china. can you tell us a little bit more about that, please? well, that's right, officials from the internet from the state grain and reserves administration said that the food security isn't important bases or national security and china as one of the most populated countries in the world. so this undoubtedly has been the top priority for the country over the past decade and china is gray now applaud has said about 670000000 tons for 7 solid years. and a formal with and nationwide is sufficient for food production as well as the
8:18 am
variety of agricultural products have been expanded, circulation has been going really well. so the overall food research systems have been improved in the country. and now china's per capita food production. and as stands at 483.5 kilograms, which means that exports and abundant stock aside, china's per capita food production exceeded the internationally recognized of food security line. so barn, the words from the official mondays press briefing, the china as guarantee at a school supply remains are firmly in a tone in its own hands while from food energy. now, di, obviously, you know, china is, you know, energy system sometimes tested by extreme weather conditions. and it's no secret that energy prices are pretty volatile at the moment. what's the chinese government doing to deal with this?
8:19 am
well, yes, exactly. this year has been complicated. as you mentioned, the volatile international energy prices extreme, whether it's like droughts and heat ways that we experience here, especially during the summer season. so china's, china's always been, you know, one of the major, your energy consumers and one of the major energy producers, officials and monday, mondays press briefing, said that china has stood up to the tests and effectively cushion the negative impacts against the backdrop of a number of negative factors that happened earlier this year. so we talk about the countries plan going forward. the official did give a glimpse of where trying to head it going forward. as you know, china will get full play to coal as what he caused the ballad stone in be energy makes and further explore audio and gas. and he also said that the goal here is to
8:20 am
raise the annual overall energy and energy production capacity to over 4600000000 tons of standard call 2025. and it will end up in the long run trying to plans to build the clean energy supply system that increased when that solar had hydro power and nuclear power. so as the country will work to ensure that the share of non fossil fuel energy and total energy consumption rises to 20 percent by the year of 202525 percent year of 2013. and finally died. there's been a lot of reports in the western media that china has apparently delayed the release of some importance economic data. however, in the congress, the economy was covered quite widely. what do you make of those reports?
8:21 am
i have to say i just as eagerly and equally eager as you are to know the latest speakers unafraid. that's a question that i currently don't have an answer to. what i can tell you though, is that according to the latest figures available, that's the 3rd quarter economic performance that just released earlier. the economy actually has shown signs of recovery. we looked at q wine, 4.8 percent of growth, q 2 for tens of a percent higher. but the 3rd quarter, we see some of the major economic indicators like consumption, like best spent like industrial output of all shown signs of a rebound that's and china's been doing. china has been doing good at put into a international context. well, the countries inflation that's been mild is jobless rate has been stable and it's
8:22 am
foreign exchange reserves and stayed above 3 trillion dollars. and if we see the numbers over the span in the past 10 years trying to cdp rose by 7.2 percent. and now counts for 18.5 percent for the world economy. so the country has now become a major trading partner for over $140.00 countries and regions leading the world in total miles the in this trade. and so those numbers just give you an idea of how well position china is economically and choosing the us. oh yes, i am a fed. we've lost contact with the c g t and correspondent di cable. i think we got the gist of everything he was saying that we almost die kind. ready let's go through some of the key points raised by the chinese leader and other delicates,
8:23 am
and they include the successful handling of the pandemic. g d, p growth fights in corruption and reducing poverty, which were all on the agenda with china promising that it will stand against global hegemony and power politics. instead of supporting international justice and multilateralism sheeting thing also pledged the chinese military will be brought to a world class standard by 2027. so to stay with us as will bring you all the latest developments from the summit in beijing, hopefully without any technological hiccups. over the next couple of days ah, over to iran now which has begun refining crude oil in venezuela and it comes as both countries expand the overseas projects as well as their biological ties. this was a longstanding and 43 year old dream that was realized through the efforts of my colleagues
8:24 am
at the national arrange, an oil refining and distribution company around $100000.00 barrels of crude are being processed daily in venezuela in made to run invested $116000000.00 in repairing and expanding facilities there. that in june, president maduro visited iran signing a 20 year corporation road map, followed by 16 memorandums of understanding. in september. it all comes amid severe sanctions from the u. s. author and political analyst, diego sic wera, says that iran and venezuela's cooperation is based on mutual trust. it does shows that congress can actually struggle against this kind of measures. and this kind of acts of aggression against several countries, regardless of how distant they are, especially on their own beliefs, induct induction about what to do in the world and the right to sovereignty and independence. here in minnesota recently from 2022 to this year, especially on the oil and energy sector. because for example, and had
8:25 am
a very bad moment when it's when i was lacking of fuel, you know, basically sense several tankers to help curtail the crisis in been assailant. but if one did the same thing back in 2009, 10 and 1148 on when the stranglehold of sanctions and centuries and mackenzie and i was actually on a, on a high ph. and it was actually affecting significantly their own energy sector. so these kind of exchanges have gotten corporate is also based on trust and it's supposedly based on experience let's some experts forecast the u. s. economy is almost certain to enter recession in the next 12 months. joe biden insist that the u. s. economy is still standing strong. we also have to be the ones who are at the table, who hoping to shake the rules, the norms, the standards by which technology is used. if, when not, if the united states isn't there than someone else will be. and these rules
8:26 am
o gains get shaped in ways that don't reflect our values and don't reflect our interests or no one will be there. and we're going to have chaos before we have a world that's actually organized to try and take advantage of all of the progress that we're making. a concern about those are certainly confident words, but how do they stack up against reality? the white house says that its efforts against inflation are starting to work biden's chief economic adviser, cecilia rouse, points to statistics regarding housing and employment data to make her case. we love having a very strong labor market, but it's been very, very strong. the employers are having a very hard time finding workers, but we saw some data last month that work that employers are posting fewer job vacancies, which means that there's a little bit of easing in the labor market at without having any. busy layoffs, we can also see that the housing market is beginning to cool, and we know that housing prices as part of the challenge for families as part of our inflation challenge. and now she is right. u. s. employers are having
8:27 am
a hard time finding people to fill positions. so for now all the necessary workers may be found. but what happens when there is anticipation of the worst? but you, as economists are predicting a recession within the next 12 months. the prediction is that as the u. s. federal reserve bank is working to fight inflation. the result will be the economy, contracting, and jobs will be slashed. this can be found in the wall street journal's recent survey of american economists. the number of experts predicting a recession in the next 12 months is up to 63 percent up from 49 percent back in july. now cecilia rouse has some other claims. she says the housing market is cooling, this is true. the prices have dropped a bit from the peak. but what is this really showing? demand has fallen amid the economics down. americans cannot afford to keep buying
8:28 am
homes as they once did. so the prices are dropping and that is not a good sign at all. a lot of c, e o's and representatives of the business community are sounding the alarm and saying that the biden white house is out of touch and that their policies are leading americans in the wrong direction. ceo's are now preparing for near inevitable recessions in both the u. s. and europe. at the same time, ceo's continued to experience inflationary pressures with 59 percent reporting input costs over the past 3 months, remain the same, or rose with no easing expected by year end. moreover, at the start of 4th quarter, only 19 percent reported an increase in demand over the past 3 months, down from 38 percent in in 3rd quarter. it was back during the presidency of jimmy carter that americans 1st learned the term stag flayson. that is stagnation and inflation at the same time, not a good situation at all, but that seems to be where the white house and the federal reserve are leading the
8:29 am
u. s. economy strong as hell may sound bold, but the actual facts are pretty concerning. once again, jill biden's bluster does not match the actual reality. caleb martin artsy new york, a geopolitical and markets on a list. tom longo also believes the recession is around the corner that he thinks that the currents usaa ministrations, policies, just bonds, helping they've destroyed the u. s. economy come handed them off in a great economy, but certainly one of the best economies of the last 20 years. and they've gone out of the way, actually kind of very methodically to destroy. what's there, the united states economy by clamping down on oil and gas exploration and trying to raise taxes and re spending time. we don't need any of that stuff. is they created inflation or try not to pay the price for it. we're already facing sag place and i already believe that we're in a recession. so we're in
8:30 am
a recession. we have i inflation, that's the definition of citation. i think that it's going to continue to go on because the inflation itself is structural and it can't be fixed with monetary policy. but it can be fixed with a shift in fiscal policy. and the way you shift the, the way you improve fiscal policy in create that shift is by getting government out of the way the, by the ministration needs to become exactly the opposite of what has been those, the top stories this are. and that's all from me peter scott's for nicky, are and will be here in the whole states with the latest the top of the our thanks for watching ah, the good border control of the shop to great them. she's the world like brings things.
