is to look for common ground a with we have data on the possibility of the key of regime using prohibited methods of war in the area of the city of her song. the commander of russia's military operation describes the situation in russia's 1st on the region as unveiling. he abs apparent plans to go off limits and it's war tactics that civilians are set to be relocated from around the city over an escalating a ukrainian attack. africa begins with energy. we're addressing key issues of its future energy security. amid the pushed by western countries to caught carbon emissions and protests against foreign intervention intensify and havi

as the united nations chief joins, calls for armed action in the country, seemingly ignoring widespread opposition on the ground with from moscow to the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this hour. the evacuation of civilians has been announced by the governor of the her, san region as the commander of russia's military operations. those ukrainian troops are preparing to use prohibited tactics and their upcoming assault on the russian city of her song. he describes the current situation on the front as pence adding that kids forces are deliberately targeting residential building and civilian infrastructure. now those go to go, so really me see me. ok, in the nato leadership of the ukrainian armed forces as long been demanding from

the key of regime an offensive operation in the harrison region. regardless of the victims among both the armed forces of ukraine and the civilian population. we have data on the possibility of the key of regime using prohibited methods of war in the area of the city of her song and on the preparation by key of a massive missile strike on the dam of the hopes hydro electric power plant, as well as a massive and indiscriminate missile strike on the city itself. this can lead to the destruction of the infrastructure and heavy civilian casualties. in this situation, our task is to preserve the lives and health of civilians. therefore, 1st and foremost, the russian military will ensure the relocation of the population. the main gist of it is that the situation on the front line is get intense, especially in the city of san russian. military is now for to find its positions, are expecting a large scale offensive. we also heard from the commander of russia,

special military operation. that key of regime is planning to use some prohibited weapons to attack the city of song. we heard from the commander of russia, special military operations say that the key of regime is basically using amateur soldiers. are also they recruited nationalists who don't care about how they proceed and how they flights on the battle ground. that they are willing to do anything. it takes to, to stop russians from coming forward. and they said that basically they're even shooting anyone who wants to leave the battlefield, their own citizens, basically. and he also said that they're, they're suffering $600.00 to a 1000 losses per day. their troops, russia has decided to take a slightly different strategy, a different approach to this according to. and he said that basically it's not about speeds, but efficiency and making sure that they minimized losses both when it comes to

civilians as well as troops. now we are expecting peaceful villages and peaceful cities to turn into battlefields as we're seeing that ukrainians are progressing. and so russia is a warning to make sure that there is a safe passage. it's just the noun service settlement program in particular and so on. so that civilians who may be in danger, 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 expected to take some of their tosses decisions. yet since february said this conflict for the train began, what that means remains to be seen, but we're seeing predict. and some days that had the city of nurtured our home to the operation nuclear power plant comes under ukrainian fire, that's according to local authority to earlier. so the city based a partial power outage due to ukrainian shelling visuals. 1 is that the forces of

shell, the city of papa naya and the republic using us supplied high mars missiles on the other side of the front line era. alarms have been heard in several ridges across eastern and southern ukraine, bloss reported in the controlled city of zap, roshi and the new cranes net for a region as an energy infrastructure facility was destroyed by a strike, according to local officials and back to russia, where a fire broke out as to residential houses were hit by ukrainian shelling of a town in the border region of bri up. that's according to the local governor who also said there were no reports of casualties. as the african energy. we kicked off talk, businessman and policy makers will gather to address the nation's critical challenges in the energy sector, is over 40 percent of people on the continent live without access to electricity.

that's the midwestern calls for africa to cut. carbon emissions argues 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 nor access, no access to clean cooking technologies, which in cities industries, dont south african minister of energy where their montage. it 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. we'll talk about her just answers or no one to talk about does a vision from cold to renewables. every time they say that require access, say it country from cold roses, 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 use of code because we're well and go to school 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 sauce that africa must highness is abundant and its resources to address the social, social 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 thing the consumers, me and you $20000000000.00 mall all the way through to 2050. now, using nuclear and other clean up forms of energy is uppermost in the minds of african energy policy makers. this is another good news that we're not talking about that i've loaded in it. we're doing a board called nuclear plants is to brendan or nucleus of inter brooklyn over

electricity. and when german is interpret, it is love you deserve your frozen, unable to, we're doing every for us as a neighbor, therefore will room. you must build that. you look up was, were one prostitution is out of her. so behind the smiles and the handshake at the biggest energy gathering in africa that talks and arguments around new 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 expensive clean energy loans and taking profits of shore. but building sustainable energy driven economies for the people of africa, global affairs, out of the south africa. and here is operating an havi or in the country is now on the verge of collapse fast as the united nations chief called for armed action havi to qual, increasingly violent ryan

a. while people across the country rally to oppose foreign intervention. thousands gathered near the u. s embassy and hating to protest for an intervention on monday . katy as facing multiple crises as heavily armed gangs continued a blockade. the country's port, which is a critical point for fuel and forest. protests and riots have broken out around hades since the government announced last march, that it would cut fuel subsidies. 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 bring more problems and 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 ask china and russia to help us with the americans. o. d. u, as in canada, have already started security equipment including tactical and armored vehicles to haiti, and both mexico and the u. s. have called for the formation of a non un multi national force to combat the gang violence with even the u. n. chief contributing to the intervention dialog. i believe that when he has not told me to stress him, the police said, asking it to be threatening with equipment to him, the number of other measures. but that in the present seacoast houses, we needs an armed action to release the ports until all 40, when he said and quoted 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 like have

the sensitive mission of bringing to the security council, the distress call from the entire people, which is suffering and to say loudly and clearly that the people of haiti and not living who they are surviving every day, what human life. so last night, 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 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 opens its own unless thrown legal, many opposition groups call for not allowing a foreign intervention. and they are rightly referring to how to put it mildly, not a very successful experience with external interference in the affairs of the country, lost only at a time when the haitian government lacks legitimacy and is unable to govern, will sending such a rapid action force to haiti received the understanding support and cooperation from the parties in haiti, or will it face resistance or even trigger violent confrontation from the population. meanwhile, patients are all ready in the street, screaming in opposition to the arrival of foreign occupier. but it looks like military equipment is already being unloaded. now, let's wind to back in january when there was massive unrest in cars. it's dan and russia at that point sent in some military assistance as is their obligation under the c s t o treaty. at that time we heard the u. s. secretary of state chime in

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 less than a recent history is that once russians are in your house, sometimes very difficult to get them relief. 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 seem to be the ones who don't want to lee backing, brutal dictators invading and 994 backing of 2 and 2004. it seems like the united states just can't keep its hands off the caribbean nation for too long. but

ah bong. people are asking if another round of american trolling into the country is really going to hell. meanwhile, haitians are protesting seeing this as yet another intervention that they never asked for the west seems to not understand what the cause of unrest in haiti right now is because of nonstop western intervention. what

a lot of haitians want they want the opportunity to practice their own self determination. the united states is trying to get involved in the media in the western powers been claim that they won the white gangs. but what the media purposely leaves out is that the united states back regime with the help of the united states have armed gangs in haiti that went after anti government demonstrators. so while the world staged pretending that they are worried about game violence in haiti, they are they sponsors on the big gangsters and sponsors on the biggest massacres, nation his troops. now this is been a retaliation of the west because haiti was the 1st ever and only a successful sleigh result and able to for a sleigh revolt. and a put back against the western a colonial powers and free themselves. washington seems to have changed. it's a line on naming pakistan, one of the most dangerous nuclear nations in the world,

as it now and says that as long as atomic weapons are safely secured, the u. s. has always viewed a secure and prosperous pakistan as critical to us interests and more broadly. the u. s. values are longstanding cooperation with pakistan. the united states is confident of accent commitment and its ability to secure its nuclear assets. last week, president biden made a remark that islam about nuclear weapons have quote, no cohesion. pakistan immediately reacted to the controversial claim. what the country's foreign minister moving to some in the u. s. ambassador and voicing his shock over biden's nuclear statement. i am surprised by their a box of president by the i believe this is exactly the sort of misunderstanding that is created when there is a lack of engagement. we meet all each and every international standard

as far as the safety and security of our nuclear assets to go further in depth on nestle's cross alive now to strategic affairs experts. i am at i lee. so i had, it's great to have you on the program today. now, why do you think the u. s. has now backtrack on jo biden's comments? thank you for having the i think the reason for this irresponsible mom is primarily the upcoming election to be held on november and you are, we're invited was more giving up on the statement, but it will be can name events in which it's team that you want it to be the lobby. you have an

interest in the bucket. so it could be seated that context of the mystic politics because you can instantly or profit from different position that you will state about the big. and you're also bit bucket has been responsible and immaculate speed. you can be listed as the leader of the governor's international agency so that the, the international community id really respect and admire your dent shield also will be a box number on your security. so that these things, i think it is very important that this remark domestic water

and station experience to get some more money from those faction invested in. ready in the right, and timing is certainly everything. now, why do you think that we're seeing an apparent lack of coordination between the u. s. president and his own office, and what does that say about biden, especially when it comes to how he is viewed on the world stage. i pointed out that a mom and biden is primarily motivated by his own personal and body and retaining the hour, and also getting re elected rather than a steep longstanding and better than so good lucian, it's due to body has been in that

respect, focused on your consider the responsibility so definitely this is the goal of. busy mistakes, economic and political guy just that, that a democrat institution is better keep facing. and you also recall that the recently national security strategy by the u. s. also does not any such thing a further indication that this is not the position, but this is a condition or an individual being debt, getting money and funding for the upcoming election. now when it comes to the impact this could have, how do you think that this rhetoric from biden could have and or that it could effect us pakistan relations in the future?

i think it will not affect relations for ease and. busy i think immediately the department issued a more responsible and trusting statement by one number to locust on. busy for an office park, if your state has very strong this is not a health nation, and we do not understand the understanding and of the bucket. now, given that rhetoric that weird from the u. s. do you think it's appropriate for the united states to label other nation as nuclear threats? when washington itself contributes to ramping up the nuclear narrative over the ukraine, conflicts with nato, even conducting nuclear drills, as we speak. i think,

yes, it is very recently. new, we're saber rattling that we have business bar is very national immunity. and also when it comes to not just you know, that you're aware that there are numerous reports for you and modeling language. so i think that also is the adequate concern. but in a lot of moving parts, their strategic affairs expert siad mohammed ali, thank you so much for joining us to break down the latest rhetoric. thank you. ah, a u. s. congress woman has denounced anti war protestors who confronted her last week over her support for military aid to key at alexandria. casio cortez was quick

to label them as pro russian. they were right wing trumpeters. it was a stunt. they were parroting pro, put in talking points. it is not anti war to support russia's imperialist project to invade and seize neighboring countries. either. a lot of this frightening video on social media stance are predicated and people not knowing the context and just believing whatever the pricing sang for face value. the incident took place at a public event in new york where several protesters accused h o c, a voting to start a nuclear war. her public response to the incidence bark de swift backlash. she has nothing to say about biden's rejection of diplomacy, nor explain how will the school to prove billions of dollars in weapons will help and the war. she instead invokes ukraine's self determination. why does she not even acknowledge the many people to the left of her who criticize her position on this? why does she just dismiss it as pro prudent and right wing talking points?

every criticism of her is just dismissed as right wing, sexist, racist, et cetera, gets old real quick. anyone who disagrees with escalating the conflict in order to prevent a potential war must be parenting pro, put in talking points. democratic progressive caucus. this car has billionaire tied county, one must face the same accusation of being pro ration after suggesting his piece plan for ukraine, which would include key neutrality recognition of crimea as part of russia. and the 2nd reverend and for regions that chose to join russia. one political scientist said musk spoke to a lot of me are approving before coming up with a piece plan, something must denies. another expert cited by the media said must quote, transmitted russia message. and a recent article in foreign policy went further accusing not only mask, but also a number of political and media figures disagreeing with current washington policy

of quote, repeating kremlin, talking points. for more details on this, let's go now to jo, old men, host of the conservative daily podcasts. joe is great to have you on the program today. now a o c, branded the protesters confronting her over her support of sending weapons to key as, as being pro russian. was it an easy way of answer answering and uncomfortable question there? well 1st of all, the one of the guys that was calling her out was someone that stumped for her. so they were not pro trump. lackey's just showed up to create a stunt this, but it's just another one of those lies that he says they use these dog whistles like racist or, you know, pro russian puppet in order to basically cover up their, their, their indiscretions. i guess you could call it the lie about everything. there's nothing that the radical left or this regime. i don't even know what you call it. it's not pro america. it's not people to stand up for the values of americans. it's

people that are on purpose doing everything they can to screw up the world stage just makes you wonder what the motives were. well, and you know, it's interesting because she wasn't the only one who faith that accusation earlier . we also saw our she was the only one who made that acquisition rather earlier, we saw a lot must facing the same accusations over his peace plan and comments about the war and ukraine. now why do you think that the media and experts were so quick to look for links to the kremlin in the story? well, i think they've been quick to look for links to the kremlin everywhere. i mean, 1st of all, you got a o. c, a bar tender from new york that gets put in a position where she is now representative. we have, we have problems with our elections everywhere, where our inflation is at an all time high we, the world stage is an absolute mess. we're spending billions of dollars over the ukraine to fight a proxy war with russia. most americans here just literally just want peace and they were really happy to have it for the for years. that troubles and office,

they just make things up because it doesn't fit their narrative. so anytime someone does not go along and just play ball with, with their, i don't know, a chess match of, of epic proportions. they become the enemy of the american people, and then they're anti american, all of a sudden because they don't stand up for ukraine. ukraine isn't illegitimate. government, just like the government we have here in united states, in my opinion. yeah. and you know, it's all too often that you see that just pro russian label slapped on an individual and they expect the public not to do any sort of research on their own. then we have this foreign policy article which says it's a problem that something it called kremlin talking points are back in u. s. public debates and accuses a number of prominent figures of reading. then do you agree that that's the case? no, i think that there's just people out there that have this thing called common sense, and they can see what they can see. they can see that ukraine was the, the boiling point, or the,

the hang out of most of the world's most corrupt leaders. and people that the, you know, the cabal that's where they hung out was with the ukraine. and you know, you had bio labs and you have neo nazis running around killing their own people. and you wonder why people voted 95 percent to 5 percent to join russia. why wouldn't you the people that are supposed to be there to protect you? are actually using you for target practice when they get bored. and they're allowing these neo nazis to run around and then their excuses. hey, we're jewish, but they're there. they're the good neo nazis that aren't killing the jews. i mean, it's laughable. what the us apparatus underneath this, this, this radical regime is doing its even more laughable, that we would attack russia for trying to respect its own sovereignty. they're standing up because nato put themselves at the, at the border of russia and poke to bear. every other nation in the world has a right to self determination. and yet, that's the termination that the terms that a o c uses in order to basically say the russian is,

is being the bullying attacking grants, just not true. now speaking of that, been, do you think that this can all be viewed as part of a political game against republicans ahead of the mid term elections? does the timing have anything to do with it right now? absolutely. i think that everything that the left does in order to create chaos this days and confuse is meant to put as much information into the public eye as possible, just hoping that some of the sticks. and frankly, there's a certain population of our country that is just dumb. i'm sure you guys face that over there in russia as well. we just have really dumb people that will follow the mainstream media and the parenting that happens. so, you know, it will probably work to one or 2 or 3 percent of the population, but a vast majority of people that call themselves democrats or sit on the left. or now, walking around saying, look, we've been left behind too much of what they're facing in the united states is as calling of them just trying to double down on things that they know are not true. we know the election was stolen in 20202016. they said it was because of russia. this information that was found.
