9:04 pm
there's that they go somewhere else so that they're in safety as much as possible, of course. and they said this right now, they're expecting to take some of their houses decisions yet since february, since that just conflicts with the train began. what that means remains to be seen, but we're seeing some tough days that had the city of near good our home to the zapper. oh, she nuclear power plant faces a partial power outage due to ukrainian shelley. that's according to local authorities. officials also that he has forces have showed the city of papa and the oscar public using us supplied high mars missiles. and on the other side of the front line era, alarms have been heard in several regions across eastern and southern ukraine. blasts were reported and the key i've controlled city is that broadsheet. russia confirmed a military command center was targeted earlier on tuesday, as well as ukrainian military positions around the city. and back to russia, where
9:05 pm
a fire broke out as to residential houses were hit by a premium shelling of a town in the border region. that's according to the local governor who also said there were no reports of casualties. thousands have taken to the streets across haiti, demanding the country's prime minister. resigned. it comes after the united nations chief called for armed action and haiti to quell increasingly violent rioting. thousands gathered near the u. s. embassy and haiti to protest foreign intervention . haiti facing multiple crises as heavily armed gangs continued a blockade. this is the country horse, which is a crucial point for fuel imports. the prime minister has requested foreign troops are deployed immediately to call the violence. but protesters continue to show their disapproval arguing. foreign forces would only bring more problems and
9:06 pm
solutions. today we have an imminent threat of occupation right before us. we came here to the american embassy to say that the occupation creates divisions between us. no, right. of course, we want cooperation with russia and china. it's been 218 years since we became independent. that's why we say that the american occupation is not good for us because when you are occupied by another nation, you have to give up the wealth. they make us give up all the good things. russia can help us with france, canada, and the united states. we have our own solution, but we asked china and russia to help us with the americans. our case kayla mop and explores the legacy of the u. s. peacekeeping mission and havi. amid the ongoing crisis, we have the un general secretary giving his input on what should be done in haiti. i believe that we need not only to strengthen the police stress and get to it threatening with equipment to the number of other measures,
9:07 pm
but that's in the present seacoast houses. we needs an adams action to release the port until all 40 minutes had encoded ought to be established. haiti's foreign minister has come before the 15 member body that leads the un to make his case as well. do i have the sensitive mission of bringing to the security council, the distress cool from the entire people which is suffering and to say loudly and clearly that the people of haiti, and not living there surviving every day. what human lives are lost? there are kidnappings. public and private property is destroyed, there are rapes, theft, looting, threats, and intimidation. it looks like the danger of sexual violence from gangs will be cited as a reason for rolling in american and international boots on the ground. but the last time you and peacekeepers were in haiti, human rights watch, among other watchdogs concluded that they were the ones who were committing sexual
9:08 pm
violence against women. a report published back in 2020 goes into detail about what is described as a rape problem. among un peacekeepers. russia and china are also asking if the arrival of u. s. lead troops will bring peace to the situation. or if it will simply lead to opposition forces engaging and armed resistance against them. mcgee opened its own unless throwing lingual many opposition groups call for not allowing a foreign intervention. and they are rightly referring to, to put it mildly, not a very successful experience with external interference in the affairs of the country, but only at a time when the haitian government lacks legitimacy and is unable to govern. while sending such a rapid action forced to haiti received the understanding support and cooperation the parties in haiti, or will it face resistance or even trigger violent confrontation from the population. meanwhile, patients are already in the street, screaming in opposition to the arrival of foreign occupiers. but it looks like military equipment is already being unloaded. now,
9:09 pm
let's wind to back in january when there was massive unrest in classics. dan and russia at that point sent in some military assistance as is their obligation under the c s t o treating at that time we heard the u. s. secretary of state shineman with some wisdom. it would seem to me that the cause, like authorities and government certainly have the capacity to deal appropriately with, with protests, to do so in a way that respects the rights of protestors while maintaining law and order. so it's not clear why they feel the need for any outside assistance. i think one lesson of recent history is that once russians are in your house, sometimes very difficult to get them to leave well surprise. at that time, russia packed up everything and left the country in a few days after the mission was completed. but back in haiti it's the americans
9:10 pm
9:11 pm
. so people are asking if another round of american boots rolling into the country is really going to hell. meanwhile haitians are protest seeing this as yet another intervention that they never asked for. cabled martin r t. new york large protest have erupted and france admitted deepening economic crisis with thousands of people demanding policy changes from the government. ah, joining nationwide rallies, protesters demanded wage rises, price controls, and more climate protection measures. some demonstrators attack buildings despite the large police presence footage shows protesters marching through city streets holding banners and burning fires. the french government is currently bringing in special measures, usually enforce only in times of natural disasters or wars in order to stop strikes
9:12 pm
across the country. ah, as the african energy weak kicks off, top businessman and policy makers will gather to address the nation's critical challenges in the energy sector. says over 40 percent of people on the continent live without access to electricity. that's mid western calls for africa to cut carbon emissions, are to use corolla outlines the challenges, facing african energy on the back of africa oil week. another gathering is putting further emphasis on african energy. the africa energy week focuses on all aspects of exploration, collaboration, as well as utilization of african energy resources. the message is clear. the african energy challenge is enormous. 600000000 people around africa have no access to electricity, 900000000,
9:13 pm
nor access to no access to clean cooking technologies, which in cities industries, dont south african minister of energy. where montage is on record saying that south africa will not be pushed into unsustainable and expensive energy solution in a socio economic environment where food security as well as access to clean energy, go hand in hand. south africa is not stepping back from the position that low co solutions cannot be clean energy. only many brew will talk about her just answers or no more to talk about does a vision from cold during euros every time they say that require action. so it can go from cold to renew bruises from our governor mission to look up with their mission, where we're experimenting with cub one curvature, storage and use and see if we cannot expand usual code because we're well endowed
9:14 pm
with co, as a country, the largest economies of the west, we're all built on the back of carbon emissions. and now cabinet is being used weaponized and demonized against the development of africa by the very same west the nations and their financial institutions. further delaying the development of the continent. but african leaders are clear that africa should not bear the brunt of historically bad energy decisions, and it should not be punished for them either. we believe in some saw that africa mas harness is abundant any to resources, to address the social. so she kind of developments of his people, but european energy crisis has created unprecedented uptick in the nuclear power interest. and according to the international energy agency and brewing less nuclear on our path to ned 0 would end up cost being the consumers,
9:15 pm
me and you $20000000000.00 mall all the way through to 2050. now using nuclear and of the cleaner forms of energy. if uppermost in the minds of african energy policy makers, this is another good news that we're not talking about. i've noted any, we're doing a board called nuclear friends is de brendan, or nuclear. so referred, referred over electricity. and when german is interpret, it is love. you deserve here for those of a neighbor who were door never for us as a neighbor deserve will. will room us build that, you'll click up was, were one, prostitution is out over. so behind us miles m a handshake at the biggest energy gathering in africa, that talks and arguments around you. partnerships and alliances for africa in the energy sector. continue. african delegates agree the continent needs new contract with the people they form partnerships with. so that it's not just about paying
9:16 pm
expensive clean energy loans and taking profits of shore. but building sustainable energy driven economies for the people of africa, global affairs oddity south africa, to russia's crass and our region now where a 3rd day of warning has begun. after a fighter jack crash just outside a residential building, the tragedy claimed 15 lives, including 3 children, and left 19 more injured valve ministry. so several victims remain in critical condition. artes eager to don off reports from the scene behind me is a sporadic meg shift vigil just outside the apartment block that was hed by the fire. as a result of this horrific accident hoops. as we've been waiting for, we have witnessed a steady flow of people of locals who come here who bring flowers, as you can see, children's toys, candles and so on and so forth. they come here to, well bring all of that to take pictures, to just stand in silence to collect their thoughts and maybe feel that they aren't
9:17 pm
alone in the face of the tragedy here. this resort town is truly tiny. it's population's just under 90000 people. so when a whole apartment block, which you can hopefully make out in the dark, behind me as well. well, this tragedy as truly will touch the hearts and pretty much every one here. the, well, it's fair to save a very large portion of the population as to what happened here. basically on monday, a military jet crash to ride behind this family supermarket that you can also see in the ground. and in front of the apartment block, it was a test flight. and the shortly upon take off its engines took, were caught on fire. so the pilots, they did everything they could to steer it away from the residential areas. and they were very close to succeeding. in fact, the as of c is just only about a kilometer away from the place where i'm standing. so this is where they try to direct the plane, but well,
9:18 pm
they only made it this far. so the jet crashed in the back yard and the since it was full of jet fuel the it's spelled upon the on to the apartment block. so it instantly was caught a blaze as well. 15 people have been confirmed dead in this accident in this riff, a tragedy. some 40 people are receiving medical attention right now and, and if in fact we can see right now the equipment, the city equipment, we just witness them moving away the debris, at least some of the debris over this military jet. now we do know that the city services, they have already finished clearing out the rubble and they've already assess the damage to the apartment block. apparently, according to the authorities, it can be rebuilt and can be restored and some local, some of the residents of this apartment block. they have already been allowed to return to their flats, to their apartments that haven't been damaged or destroyed by the blaze. now of
9:19 pm
course, right now, the authorities are focusing their efforts on relieving some of the suffering of those who have lost their loved ones, lost their while acquaintances and friends. and well, of course, those who have been temporarily displaced by the tragedy where the recovery works under way. residents are returning home according to local officials, more than 130 families of already managed to get back to their apartments. gas, water and electricity supplies have resumed for 7 entrances in the building. we heard from local residents. good, finally returning home. thank god, were alive and well. yes, thankful that we are alive and well. so many people were killed. i have friends from the 2nd house entrance and from the 3rd. i don't even know if they're alive or not. i'll probably find out later when they show on c a v. something happening somewhat. that's one thing. when, when you see really happening,
9:20 pm
you can get your head around it. the jet initially appeared to have exploded as they came down near the building. but officials say the massive blaze was caused by fuel, which burst from the jets tank as it fell, catching fire. the pilots managed to safely a jacket and are now being questioned by russian investigators, as they seek to determine the exact cause of the incident. rushes investigative committee is looking into a possible case of violation of flight procedures that may have led to the crash official say the jet could also have crash due to a technical fault. does english russian air force pilot vladimir papa shared his assessment of the crash? you can you have your ripple, your here was more me just the pilot probably did everything possible to make sure you could be safely. what, what could have happened at the last moment, however, is that the jet was being steered towards a clear space like a field or perhaps a road. and the pilot was sure that it was going to crash there without any further
9:21 pm
issues. however, during an injection planes, a movement is effected and that is probably what might have happened. just controls could have failed. you causing it to fly in a different direction towards a residential area where it eventually fell. well, we can still say that the pilots did everything possible to prevent that from happening and at least they did everything they could at that moment, is up to the investigation to determine what actually happened, of course. and that is going to take some time. they will say whether or not and ever had been made that for now, our assessments remains a probability to us senators have, are posted amendment to the annual defense authorization act, which would allow massive munition purchases to help you crane and conflict with russia. the amendment offers multi year contracts for munitions with companies like
9:22 pm
lockheed martin. the pentagon would also be able to cooperate with nato allies to buy weapons for ukraine related contract. in addition, the bill includes $10000000000.00 and military aid for taiwan over the next 5 years . is that it is expected to vote on the bill in november. the document, however, has been criticized by some analyst ukraine age shouldn't be another way for contractors to nickel and dime the pentagon, wasting taxpayer dollars, and undermining the purpose of assistance to support the ukrainian people. but the amendment further deteriorates already weak guardrails in place to prevent corporate price gouging of the military. the u. s. has the highest military spending worldwide, as well as being the biggest arm supplier to ukraine since the conflict erupt, it political scientists, economists, and analysts dakota. lily believes that proposed amendment is another attempt to further increase us military spending. this is another giveaway to arms thing,
9:23 pm
factors and arms dealers, which really rule the roost and a lot of western governments, including the united states and much of nato. if not all nato, this is something that they can have on the books that allows them to bypass costs . the constitution allows them to bypass checks and balances in order to give more money to arms, manufactures in order to give more money to the people that really control congress and really control the united states government. that is, those at the very top, financial speculators arms dealers, etc. and they're using ukraine as a geopolitical weapon and a political battle battle ground to make the same people rich. they've got it before the middle east, and now they are doing it in ukraine. i do not understand why at a time when infrastructure in the united states is crumbling. there are people without clean water in jackson, mississippi. for example, people have very terrible illnesses that are preventable in the united states. meanwhile,
9:24 pm
we are giving tens of billions of dollars to rogue regimes in the ukraine, and in taiwan, ukraine. foreign ministry wants the country to break off relations with iran. he has chief diplomat, how the president wants you to approve the move over the alleged youth, veronica and drones by russia, which moscow has denied or wrong, has also denied supplying its drones to russia and has branded such accusations as baseless key have now was erroneous rival israel to provide advanced air defense systems to frame, to help shut down the russian drones. dr. televi is reportedly not impressed with ukraine's demands. israel's defense minister is said to be avoiding talks with his ukrainian counterpart who's been trying to get through on the phone. however,
9:25 pm
other reports suggest israel's prime minister is planning to talk to key as chief diplomat about the possibility of air defense supplies. we spoke with professor siad mojave mirandi from the university of tay ron, who says that the premium government is not important to iran. iran doesn't care, the ukraine government is not important to launch. those are in the regime obviously is a part of the western camp. it's close ally of the united states. and one of the ways to influence washington is through a regime instead of looking that gradient regime and started looking for new means to find these drones, they should look for way out of this water. well, the damage that it would cost to the relationship between russia and the regime.
9:26 pm
what enormous already the russians are unhappy with this way because of its attacks on syria. but in any case, israeli relations with the russians are not ideal this year. and i think that if there's any issues makes the really makes a foolish mistake of involving yourself more directly ukraine then that word damage would probably be a korean soldier has admitted that he has forces shot down a rush and comma causing drown. and that it was a reason, a crash into a residential building in the capital. if they shot, they damaged it. they changed it, sir, jack, 3, we were shooting at the drone. so d, b, i to the little from the course. and if we haven't shown the drug would have hit right on target, they would all hit that targets. yes, there were casualties. i saw them with my own eyes and we brought them all out.
9:27 pm
o ukrainian authorities have released this fitted, showing several security officers trying to shoot down a small drone in the skies over kiev, using their rifles. they apparently managed to hit the aircraft enough time to change its course, and it was then seen crashing to earth and exploding on the road near by. several casualties were reported in the ukrainian capital after a series of russian airstrikes over the past week. ukraine has even released a mobile app to help civilians take part in the intercepting of drones and missiles people. i've been instructed to use the app to take pictures of incoming ariel ross and then click a button to send the data to the ukrainian military, which he knew that the air defenses against the target, instead of advising people to take shelter during an air strike, some ukrainian officials are now calling us civilians to come out and try to shoot
9:28 pm
down the projectiles with their personal weapons. even more do want you can shoot down the shy head drones as soon as you hear the sound of a drone. and if you have a weapon to use, i also think that our hunters and other people who have firearms can and should be shooting them down for mercy i analyst and c o. burger associates. larry johnson says such incidents and statements from kiev demonstrate a failure of ukraine, the air defenses. when people fire a rifle from the ground, the bullet goes up in the air. it does not magically then disappear, are disintegrating. if that bullet doesn't hit something, it comes back at the ground in force and kill people on the ground. what it highlights is the complete inadequacy failure of ukraine's air defense system. or they can even call it a narrative subsystem because it clearly they don't have an integrated system that
9:29 pm
can function to stop drones or missiles for that matter. so calling up on individuals to get out into the streets like this, particularly carrying firearms of because i guarantee you the average ukrainian carrying a rifle is not trained to use it safely. and more often than not, you're going to have people shooting each other negligently accidentally than actually trying to bring down a drug. ukraine president has accused russia killing a civilian by hitting a residential building in the city of nikolai, with an s 300 surface to air missile. however, lot of miracle and good critics were quick to remind him that the es 300 is in fact used as a means of air defense by the cranium military itself. this is caused by an ukrainian air defense rocket, who have completely missed it on the target and fell to the ground in the living
9:30 pm
area. as 300 missiles. do you know what s 300 is? why russia? russia is not going to fire. and s $300.00 as an offensive weapon. it's a defensive weapon. so, the fact that it is that the lensky is conceding that it was an es $300.00. i think it's the incompetence argument. ukraine could very easily make its case that all of these are ronnie and drones, for example, by bringing the wreckage and showing actual markings that were in farsi. for example, that hasn't happened. busy or they said. busy this is a rush missile, bring the wreckage. so there are remnants of that missile that should show clearly that it was russia. if, in fact, what's lensky and company are saying, for heaven's they could even manufacturing, it wouldn't be true, but they could at least do a better job of making it up. they're not even doing that. so that,
