an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, the news we have data on the possibility of the key of regime using prohibited methods of war in the area of the city of here saw the commander of russia's military operation describes the situation of russia's 1st on region as 10th unveiling key. as a parent plans to attack indiscriminately that civilians are said to be relocated from around the city and the threat of ukrainian attack africa weekend energy. we're addressing key issues. a security, i mean, pressure by the west african states to tighten their carbon emission belt long

millions, white to survive. 600000000 people around africa have no access to electricity. $900000000.00 your axes, no access to clean cooking technologies and protests against foreign intervention intensify in haiti as united nation's chief joins, calls for an armed action in the country, seemingly ignoring widespread opposition on the ground with from last out to the world. this is our to international. i merger blevins and these are the top stories. this, our, the evacuation of civilian has been announced by the governor of the hearse on region. as the commander of russia's military operations is ukraine's troops are preparing to is prohibited tactics and their upcoming assault on the russian city of her song. he describes the current situation on the front as tens adding that

keeps forces are deliberately targeting residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. now those code, okay, so let me see, let me ok, in the nato leadership of the ukrainian armed forces as long been demanding from the key of regime an offensive operation and 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 harrison 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 4 to find its positions. they're 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 had song we heard from the commander of russia, special military operations say that the key 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 there are suffering $600000.00 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 thought 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 the 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 do they said to this right now they're expecting to take some of their houses decisions yet since february, 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 nerve in our home to his oper. oh, she nuclear power plant comes a new cranium. fire that's according to local authority to earlier. so the city faced a partial power outage due to ukrainian shelling of visuals, also say, forces of show the city of papa naya and the gods group public using us, supplied high mars missiles on the other side of the front line era, alarms have been heard and several regions across eastern and southern ukraine, black reported in the key as controlled city of south for she and then ukraine's net for her trouble region and energy infrastructure facility was destroyed by a strike, according to local officials and back to russia, where our fire broke out as to residential houses were hit by ukrainian shelling in a town in the border region of brianna, that's according to the local governor who also said there were no reports of casualties. as the african interview, we kicked off talk,

businessman and policy makers gather to address the nation's critical challenges in the energy sector with over 40 percent of people on the continent living without access to electricity. that's a midwestern pressure on africa to cut its carbon emissions to join the global race to go green. our g corolla outlines the challenges, facing the african energy sector. 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, weekend cities, industries,

dont south african minister of energy where 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 men, every rule will talk about her just answers. no more to talk about doesn't from cold to renewables. every time this week i drew correction, say it gun to from calder euros is from i a governor mission to look up with a mission where we're experimenting with cub one curvature. storage and use. and see if we cannot expand useful code because we're well and go to school as a kind the law just 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 so that africa must, highness, is abundant any to resources to address the social, socio economic 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 net 0 would end up cost thing the consumers, me and you $20000000000.00 mall all the way through to 2050. now

using nuclear and the clean up forms of energy. if uppermost in the minds of african energy policy makers, this is another good news that we're not talking about that i've loaded and we're doing a board here called nuclear friends is de brendan or nucleus of refurbished land over electricity. and when german is in trouble, it is love, you deserve your, for those of a neighbor who were doing every, for us as a neighbor. therefore, will rumors build that you look 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 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 thinking profits of shore. but building sustainable energy driven economies for the people of africa, global affairs,

out of the south africa to russia. crosland are region now where a 3rd day of morning has begun after a fighter jet crash, just outsider residential building. the tragedy claimed 15 lives, including 3 children, and left 19 more injured. the health ministry says several victims remain in critical condition. art is eager to donna reports from the scene behind me is a sporadic makeshift vigil just outside the apartment block that was hed by the fire has a result of this horrific accident as, 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 alone in the face of the tragedy here. this resort town is truly tiny. it's

a 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 shortly upon take off its engines took we're 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 tried to direct the plane, but well, they only made it this far. so the jet crashed in the back yard under the,

since it was full of jet fuel or the it's spelled upon the on to the apartment block. so it instantly was caught a blaze as well. 15 people had been confirmed the dead in this accident in the seraphic 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 on. 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 course, right now,

the authorities are focusing the efforts on relieving some of the suffering of those who have lost their loved ones, lost their well acquaintances and friends. and will, of course, those who have been temporarily displaced by the tragedy with recovery works under way. residents are returning home, according to local officials, more than 130 families have already managed to get back to their apartments. gas, water, and electricity supplies have resume for 7 entrances in the building. we heard from local residents. i finally returning home and gone where alive and well yes, thankful that we are alive and wealth 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 on a shell and see of a something happening somewhere. that's one thing. and when he see really happening, you can get your hand around it for the jet initially appeared to have exploded as

it came down near the building. but officials say the massive blaze was caused by fuel, which burst from the jets tanks as it fell, catching fire. the pilots managed to safely object 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 jack could also crash due to a technical fault, distinguish russian air force pilots. windermere pop off, shared his assessment of the crash. you have your ripple, you here was, was me. you see the pilot probably did everything possible to make sure he could be allowed safely. 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 issue. however, during an injection planes,

the movement is effected and that is probably what might have happened. a just controls could have fail. you causing it to fly in a different direction towards a residential area where it eventually fell. 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 the probabilities. this rule and g o operating and havi war in the country is now on the verge of collapse. that as the united nations chief called for armed action and have a to call increasingly violent writing, while people across the country rally to oppose foreign intervention. 1000 gathered near the u. s embassy and have to protest born in bench and on monday, havi is facing multiple crises as heavily armed gangs continued

a blockade the country's port, which is a critical point for fuel imports. protesters and rioters have broke out around haiti since the government announced last month 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 are doing. foreign forces will bring more problems or 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. the u, as in canada,

have already sent security equipment, including tactical and armored vehicles to haiti. and both mexico in 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 believed that when he had not told me to stress them, the police said as they get to it, threatening with equipment to the number of other measures. but that in the presence hickle's 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 great and to say loudly and clearly that the people of haiti and

not living, who did their surviving every day, what human life. so last they, they're a 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. nadia because it's on, on us throwing lingual 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 . was that 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, or for an occupier. but it looks like military. quitman already being unload it. 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 treating at that time we heard the us 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 america to seem to be the ones who don't want to lead backing, brutal dictators invading and 994 backing of 2 in 2004. it seems like the united states just can't keep his hands off the caribbean. nation or to law by

ah, blue people are asking if another round of americans rolling 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 non stop 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 into

western powers. been claiming that they want to fight 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 based sponsors on the bigot, gangsters, and sponsors on the biggest massacres, nation his troops. now this is been retaliation of the west because haiti was the 1st ever and only a successful slavery though, and it was for a slave revolt and a push back against the western colonial powers and free themselves. a near face journalist was offered a deals opposed twitter content highlighting russian human rights abuses by a user with the ukrainian flag a ukraine flag account reached out to me with an offer i post mainstream media reports highlighting russian human rights abuses and

in return for engaging in the info war, i will receive cash payments. either journalist from the rebel news outlet replied to the post saying that he'd also been made the same offer. russia as deputy and master to the un think the journalist for bringing their story to light. meanwhile, false information has been appearing on ukrainian telegram channels on the topic of partial novelization in russia, with fake names and addresses wrongly posted, allegedly belonging to people the authors say, had been mobilized. let's go now to radio host in political commentator, steve gill, to discuss steve, it's great to have you on the program today. now, is it surprising to see such offers being sent to western media representatives? i think it's very surprising. you're seeing the ukranian propaganda being spread in western media for free. why do they have to start paying for it? at this point, this has been a bizarre conflict from the beginning rates where you may remember that as russian

troops were, were massing at the very beginning. there were all the stories about the russian soldiers using tender and other social media sites to try and meet girls in ukraine . we have the stories of the ukranian fighter pilot, the ghost of shouting, shooting down that doesn't rushing biters. turn out to be focus. you had the soldiers that were taunting russian warships that supposedly were obliterated, turns out they surrendered. this thing has been a war of words, a war of internet and a war means from the beginning. and i think it's unfortunate that the media has been either play for dupes or apparently paper play as we're seeing some of these new reports. yeah, exactly. and you see far too many of the media who spread all of those stories without asking any questions or doing any additional research on their own, which is arguably exactly what they're supposed to be doing. now in this case, did the journalist do the right thing by shutting light on offers be received and

you think that this is likely much more of a widespread phenomenon than we're seeing even just right now? i think the journalist did exactly the right thing. i think the question is, how many others have kept quiet, taken the pe and, and just kind of slip silently into the night while they're spreading propaganda. and the problem with this whole conflict has been there, haven't been sufficient embedded reporters. so in the don bass region where you're seeing, you know, missile strikes and bombings and civilians killed while you've got the western media talking about human rights violations and, and atrocities and war crimes. you're not seeing any reporting of what's actually going on in the vast region in the eastern ukrainian region where we're similar, things are happening. but with the western media turning a blind di. yeah. now when it comes to this case, specifically, what does it tell us about how the ukrainian side pushes their own narrative on the conflict and really tries to continue to get that media attention even though they

clearly have gotten plenty of it over the last several months. you know, it's interesting, i talked with brands a decade ago about the fact that, you know, that russia was really not engaging in the us, either with influencers or with that, with the media. creating kind of a basis of relationship and communication. when you've had the chinese per year they've, they've actually put a lot of money into colleges and universities in the us to spread their propaganda . you had the japanese for a long time, really reaching out to make friends and influence people. and i chatted with folks again a decade ago about the fact that russia and many other foreign countries think that if you'll just sort of retain former politicians in washington, talk to the top of leads in washington. it's on how you're communicating to americans and, and that's the last thing that's happening. and now there was a new story today that apparently a couple of 100 former us military officials have been put on the a role and in the united arab interests in saudi arabia. but this top down by

friends and influence in america ultimately doesn't work as well as kind of, you know, people in real america outside of new york and washington d. c. yeah. far too much fake news out there. and unfortunately, it usually comes from the entities that claim to care about fake news, radio host and political commentator, steve gill, thank you so much for your time and analysis. thanks right. the u. s. congress woman has denounced anti war protestors who confronted her last week over her support for military aid to exam andrea, coffee o cortez was quick to label them as pro russian. they were right wing trump purse. 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 saying for face value. the incident took place at a public event in new york where several processors accused h o c a vote and just started nuclear war. her public response to the incident sparked a 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 wool. 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 comes as billionaire

tycoon. you on last face the same accusation of being pro russian after suggesting his piece plan for ukraine, which would include key of your tragedy recognition of crimea as part of russia and a 2nd referenda in the 4 regions that chose to join russia. one political scientist said must have spoken to vladimir putin before coming up with this piece plan. something must denies. another expert sighted by the media said musk transmitted russia's message, and a recent article in foreign policy when further accusing musk and a number of political and media figures disagreeing with washington's policies of repeating crumbling, talking points. jo, open house to the conservative daily podcast, believes the us democrats label, anyone who goes against their narrative as enemies of america. well, i think they've been quick to look for links to the kremlin everywhere. i mean, 1st of all, you got a oh, see a bar tender from new york that gets put in

a position where she's 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 4 years. that troubles an 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 proportion. 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 your current. 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 can call it washington seems to have changed his wine naming pakistan, one of the most dangerous nuclear nations in the world as it now.
