south africa as energy minister accuses developed countries or recklessly experimenting with a continent economies, treating african nations with a severe lack of with had that is so good to happy with us for this program and live from moscow. of course it's artie international, some really heavy hitting stories making their rounds today. welcome to your program. so the u. k prime minister liz trust has just announced her resignation often just 45 days in office. it makes her downing street tenure, the shortest since the end of the 19th century. it also comes almost 24 hours and she told parliament that she was a fighter and not a quitter. by this during a continued fall out of her botched economic plan. i came into office it's,
11:02 am
it's time of great economic and international instability and all countries have been held back for too long by low economic grace i recognize low given the situation. i cannot deliver the mandates on which i was elected by the conservative party. i have that full spoken to his majesty the king to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative party. and so off the list trost premier ship was compared to having the shelf life of a lettuce last week. one british tabloids set up a live stream on you tube featuring the salad next to a picture of the prime minister to see which one lasted the longest. no surprise. the left us is still going strong. other media out was also made chopped salad of a prime ministerial shelf life. ah, given that the economist is giving less trust, tenor the shelf life of
11:03 am
a let it she we be calling her the iceberg lady. we can so it is like the tightening have struck an iceberg. shelf life of a lettuce has to be the best ever description of the trust. premise ship thus far. to the fair would a let us have it proved that many budget ah, well, the private his resignation comes off to her budget plan for huge tax cuts and enormous spending the combination sent markets into free full amid concerns. the government simply could not pay for what it was promising. the bank of england was even forced to intervene to prop up the collapsing, pound as panic, ultimately gripped global investors. the move also spoke intense political pressure within the parliament, forcing the prime minister to fire her closest ally, that of the finance minister. now just short time ago, here on the program on r t,
11:04 am
i did speak with journalist african ritathui. he says it's obvious that among european states, since britain that's been suffering the most most importantly here, we got to realize the levels of k also britain has that calls itself. the british government calls itself l. someone told me that a 4 month old baby would have a witness for chancellor's triumph, secretaries to prime minister 3 prime ministers after an extreme and 2 monarchs, we've got to remember it was only the past 24 hours and 48 hours that the estates mandated b, b, c said they were doing emergency blackout her source. this had a time when the leadership of the british or the british government is not decided by the people have written this trust was not elected by britain. she was elected by 1.3 percent of the electorate, and the same thing will happen next friday, apparently. and this in
11:05 am
a country with no re grass. so i think around the world, britain and the world we're looking at written and seeing the chaos. i've seen that even in nato media they, they call it chaos. and of course, what's happening in britain is arguably just the same. it's happening in as part of a pattern since, since vladimir putin and responded to nato agitation in the east of ukraine. we've seen the instability, right across europe. but britain, of course, suffering arguably the most at the moment. workers have started dismantling part of the crimean bridge. that were, of course, destroyed in a recent attack by ukrainian forces. the structures are basically being chopped down to smaller blocks to be more easily loaded on the various barges. as he could have done off now explains. now, our crew has been offered a rather unique opportunity to witness how russia is fixing. arguably it's most iconic and symbolic bridge. the one that connects russia's mainland through well,
11:06 am
russia's crimea. we are right now standing on top one of the badly damaged sections of the automobile. part of the bridge you can see world is working here and all sorts of emergency crews are busy to. we've seen divers, for instance, being fished out of the sea out of the strait, i should say, and so on and so forth. in total, more than 400 specialists are working on restoring this bridge as quickly as possible. now just a quick remind as to what happened on this very spot. just just a few doesn't meet with that way. in fact, a truck laden with explosives blew up and so well, part of the bridge collapse. now this happened here, but the fire it jumped to the railway section of the bridge, so you can see the burn marks over there because to an unfortunate coincidence, a whole train load of oil tanks will park just over that of the bridge has been back badly damaged and russia has accused ukraine of, well masterminding and plotting what russia has described as
11:07 am
a terrorist attack. and now, well, it is busy, it is scrambled all sorts of emergency teams to restore and repair this. well, this highly symbolic break. and basically the works here. they are ongoing, 247 ah, acts of pure terror. those are the latest words of condemnation of russia's, warren ukraine, from the european commission chiefs who hit out at moscow for deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure. target his attacks on civilian infrastructure with a clear aim to cut off men, women, children of water, electricity, and heating with the winter coming. these are acts of pure terror and we have to call it as such. this is the moment to stay the course and we will back ukraine for as long. 7 as it takes, despite her words,
11:08 am
nato itself was accused of targeting civilian infrastructure when it hit yugoslavia and the 19 ninety's. those targets included train. so national tv news stations, as well as the chinese embassy in which a number of people lost their lives, are human rights watch, claim the attacks were the, a psychological harassment of a civilian population. let's learn more right now for more comments on the story. putting life august political analyst, alexander of poverty, joining us from bell. great. a very warm welcome to you. so how do you comment on the later statement coming from the european commissioners or commissions president, i shall say. well, i'll call it the way i see it. it's sickening hypocrisy, you know, that's how i would term it. we all remember the bombing year in 1999. ah, they did target civilian infrastructure. they targeted bridges. civilian trains. ah, they also targeted a civilian buildings, apartment buildings,
11:09 am
they targeted the maternity ward, they targeted. they hit a market, an open market with ah, outlawed, cluster bombs, date targeted and hit refugee columns, vague, hit our electrical power stations across the country. we had many blackouts. and finally, the end when i had this disturbing leadership wouldn't give in, they've literally threatened to carpet bomb a belgrade the capital of serbia and other cities. they literally threatened us with terror attacks in order to all come to terms to accept their terms. and that's when we had finally with russia, with russian mediation we, we got this resolution un resolution by which cost was still part of serbia, but that's another story. meaning, ah, they haven't, they terrorized the country presented a european country. we thought
11:10 am
a declaration of war for 78 days killed. scores of civilians more than a 1000 and certainly, and you know, they did it all totally a lawless li illegally and they never pay a penny. david, they didn't even have. they didn't even issue a real apology. alexander alexander is, i mean it's not just your, it, we're talking about here as well. i mean, you could go back to the shock and all that shock and all campaign in iraq or even even afghan asked on as well. busy with a normal attack on civilian infrastructure, rolling blackouts and, and all sorts of terrible conditions that but it seems some might say that there's a set of double standards going along going around in the world today. your thoughts? oh, absolutely. i mean, yeah, you're just meant kinda shock in how you managed in iraq. but let's, let's talk about absolutely in, in iraq, they also get power station. they had power stations,
11:11 am
they hit water works. we all remember what madeline albright said when she said that it was worth the lives of more than half a 1000000 iraqi children to do what they do to try to get rid of saddam for a little while. they were also using radiative unit or bombing but i mean, so i just, when we were cut when i was covering the iraq story, for example, i mean, we know they were using ammunition that had uranium tips on it, which basically radiates the soil, which means for any number of hundreds of years, families can have unfortunate lead trouble children who might be physically challenged or mentally challenged in some way, shape or form. but alexander, let me ask you about, why do you think france and germany, who ultimately mediated the peace agreement in ukraine. they didn't really have a push for it to be implement that as we well know. but they also, for some reason, remained very quiet about the continued shelling of those regions ever since 2014
11:12 am
yeah, absolutely. france and germany has all have also played a role here and also as well. you know, they were, they're part of the, you broker ment regarding cost of all and for 8 years about the same 9 years about the same as many agreements. they did not press the side based support, you know, either ukraine or in serbia, meaning priest in the cost of l. daniels to do you know, to fulfill their part of the agreements. so they're actually very responsible for what's happening, both in ukraine and, and, and cost of all. and, you know, we had petro porter sank, or the former president of ukraine, literally saying a couple of months ago that actually ukraine had no intent on fulfilling its part of the misc agreement. they were just buying time to get ready for war. never heard
11:13 am
a word out of either german or french officials condemning that or you know, just admitted that they've been play. so it's a very, very totally, it's not just double standards, it's very cynical sort of policy. they want to use piece agreements just to advance their sides cause and all they do is they cause more war teeth. and that's what's happening in ukraine. and we saw 20 more than 20 years ago here. and it's still going on while we have the war. our eyes on ukraine tension are still being are writing again and costs are because a very, very similar acts on the part of the western powers. all right, alexandra parish are joining us here. live on auto international law, one of our favorite geo political analysts here on the program today. i'm sure we'll see you soon. thank you very much for your time. alexander thanks is always so apparently the international community has turned a blind eye to the dire humanitarian crisis. in ethiopia and must act soon before it's too late to prevent
11:14 am
a genocide that now those are the direct words coming from the head of the world health organization who is seeking urgent assistance for his homeland. this is a health crisis for 6000000 people. and the world is not paying enough attention. there is a very narrow window. now to prevent genocide, i repeat, there is a very narrow window now to prevent genocide into guy on the conflict. and if you have, he has northern take away region has been raging for a good 2 years with a local rebel group, a national government forces going head to head one member of a prominent aide group working in the area that have the international rescue committee was killed and other one wounded in regions of tac, amid other civilian casualties. but un secretary general sets of violence as quote
11:15 am
reached alarming levels. antonio ted, as calling for an immediate cease fire, will africa's 2nd most populous country has been mired and crises and the civil war . the violence erupt when state troopers would employ to fight the people's liberation front, near the border with a trail over a territorial dispute. the rebel group has been holding regional elections in defiance of national orders and is accused at a tray of backing the ethiopian government in the bloody conflict. tens of thousands of people have been killed. millions of civilians displaced and according to un estimates more than 5000000 people urgently require humanitarian health in that region. well, we hit the streets of ethiopian capital to gauge reaction albriton. we're proud that our defense forces one victories in the strategic and disciplined way, even though the trouble makers are supported by foreign powers. i'm hopeful that our country will become peaceful one, know,
11:16 am
and we and the entire globe will know who the main provocateurs are. you know, the te, grace, people liberation front are the agitation as they provoke and start attacking. but the moment our forces advance on their positions, they start crying foul. so war has gone far or they put ups talk to war was said, a stay seat only for a piece took. ah, but the problem is when one say a disarray did as their site may not be ready and they put a precondition still in my view there is that elected on the t p a live site at 2 o seats for a p stock and 2 resorted things i'm a partnership between ciocca and they are to that is not like to buy their waste 7 powers this because the kwanisha day started we so my lay at an b to appear at talks that our prime minister very bobby started to unite. one is not leg very much bye, it's a waste and so the waste and wanted things to beaked cantino,
11:17 am
lag that are as good as business as usual, and that's why they have to watch whenever the t p a lift is attacked by say to pair anatomy immediately you hear an a statement from the washington or from the eel, or as their partners no of data whom i write like like why do i switch it some hard hitting remarks, remote south africa minister of mineral assets on energy this week. a greedy man. tasha said that her developed nations exploit african countries with crippling loans and isolation. he was speaking during the africa energy week for him, where top businessman and policymakers gather to address critical changes being faced in the energy sector developed countries. sometimes one deals oh do regret kind is as guinea pigs for experimenting is painful. i must say
11:18 am
that because when that happens you'll get didn't sector as a, as a smaller economy you off was to be a point. you don't way, diaz, off of those. you can think you can be already, janelle, and then the lumber is that we have this partnership between our servers of over and you and yet it is dave's of the 8.4. we learned quite impressive. and we took, that's a gift. it's not a gift, it's a loan, but over it consists not alone. that is more but over it is up to a client. that mr. montage, a statement came ahead of the un climate change conference that is set to be held next month in egypt. that south africa is expected to present a plan aimed at receiving the $8000000000.00 in loans and ground that were pledge last year. the c o p summit to basically help de carbon eyes its economy. a correspondent is catabolic tackler. outlining the challenge is now facing the
11:19 am
continence energy sector. as zillow climate negotiates as prepare to haggle over greenhouse gas emissions, said the 27th united nations climate change conference in egypt. the medalists already drawn according to the global carbon projects, the lion's share of c. o. 2 emissions will continue to be led by china, asia, europe, as well as the united states, africa, accounts for bally 4 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. and the most industrialized economy on the continent, south africa accounts for 1.3 percent of emissions. these letters numbers do not quite square up with the pressure being heaped on south africa to turn it back on cold, all in the face of europe's clamoring for the very same cold. the one south africa to stop using the country is being and ties to with lowes to help them fund their
11:20 am
transition. but some critics argue that this is south africa making itself the sacrificial lamb and the altar of green energy. why are we offering ourselves there? must be, i'm asking the question because we, i mean, we've got choices. we can actually not resist, but put an argument that our development will depend on secure energy and currently fossil, our secure sanctions imposed on russia by europe are increasingly coming back to by them. critic say this, highlight the hypocrisy angie or politics of energy transition in the world. this will also affect the technology choices each country makes to what sustainable energy transition. and according to the international energy agency, i will pass to ned 0 emissions will be much harder and more expensive without the use of nuclear power. it is not only about renewables is really about cleaner and
11:21 am
less emitted technologies. and nuclear is, is one big sauce of low cabinet, a power cord there, post issue there. and keep, don't, is giving us energy at $0.40 a unit. so there's more to present of the lowest cost. every other dignity is catching up with newer. and even though renewable energy adelina, they still need baseline back up. and in south africa's case that means code. and that means that fossil fuels, as well as renewable energy, might have to work in tandem. we still have an option to add more renewables on our base. so we leave your, your, your, your base lot intact or reduce very, you know, minimally but you put renewables on top. that's what gemini has done that for us was 3 less doing. they're not taking out that despicable power. they're 80 more on top of that. these particular power, if south africa and africa to wind the fight,
11:22 am
to use their own energy resources to develop the economies and uplift the people in a well planned and coordinated manner. the continent will need to be firma and avoid getting tied up in agendas of west the nations. private capital is already knocking at the door, trying to own a piece of the developing world energy system. but critics argue, lodge capital inflows, only ward instead of restrain unsustainable bad economic policies. and that could help the developing world even much more than climate change itself. got melissa oddity, china's back sir. glad you can join us for this program here on our t. so it rushes foreign ministry spokeswoman has set that western powers appear complicit in the recent explosions that damage the north stream gas pipeline system under the baltic. i'm or is a hot of
11:23 am
a direct at the following remarks. to swedish officials. you still with m jacqueline ashley, who is it that you found that you didn't want to show any one? was it something from nato? something fell into your hands and you can't show it to any one. but it doesn't work like that. do you know why? because you just said that you have something to hide, it means that what you sunday should not be seen by anyone else, because it proves that it is the collective west that is behind everything that happened there rights are just allows one of the multiple bloss damage the major pipeline route, which had been a crucial source of russian gas applies to the e. u. a sweden has even refused to let his allies participate in the investigation and is also stone wold moscow's efforts to access information from the prob, saying it's strictly classified. lottie contributor rachel lawson has her thoughts on this matter. not only is sweet and refusing to share its findings in the north stream attacks that earlier this week, germany was also acting tight lipped,
11:24 am
refusing to disclose any details to its parliamentarians. now member german parliament and former leader of the left sarah wagner had this to say in response to the federal government. it's telling us that it know something, but for reasons of the states well being, it can not even disclose it to the members of parliament in the javin, but detect security agency. in any case, this approach means that any control and criticism of the federal government by the opposition is impossible. does anyone seriously think that if russia blown up its own gas pipelines, the center pieces of its economic and trade links to europe in the west, that sweden and germany would, wouldn't even hesitate for a 2nd to cry from the rooftops that they had proof. this incident happened right off the coast of these countries. now surely their investigations would be able to detail what was present in the waters off of those coast at the time of these attacks. and now we're being told that the findings are so sensitive to national security that they just can't be shared. that's interesting because how many times
11:25 am
has national security in a vote by the west in western countries to bury the truth about politically sensitive incidence. they just conveniently slap on a top secret classification label and everyone's left to speculate, but nothing ever gets confirmed until maybe many years later, you know everything from the j, f. k, assassination to cia and allied regime, change initiatives in or on latin america, africa all over the globe when western allies get caught spying on each other than they can get hushed up all under the guise of national security. those things have just been snuffed out and disappeared. now the big question that some of us were half jokingly asking right after these pipeline attacks was how the european union would react. if it ever came out that the u. s. was responsible for these attacks with a sanction the us because now without rushing the you most recently for president emmanuel mccoy in germany, connie,
11:26 am
mr. robert havoc are whining about paying exorbitant prices for american liquefied natural gas as one of the only viable options that they now have left. so having to sanction the us would be pretty much the final nail in the coffin and would risk turning it into a sort of west or north korea. but if it's any consolation pentagon spokesman, general patrick rider does that, washington is ready to help say, quote, remain, of course, ready to support if necessary in these investigations the west is conducting. well, not even russia, whose infrastructure this is, has been invited to test. actually russia been told, pretty much to just go take a hike. so washington right now, it's kind of like the guy who's gotten up to you, offering support right after a really bad break because he seizes a chance to make his big move as sometime. well, you know, it's not even unheard of to find out much later when you're with him that he actually may play
11:27 am
a role in instigating the breakout from which he ultimately benefit. it was working really hard here with the national to bring you all sides of the stories of the big, heavy hitting headlines around the world today. appreciate your company today, but basically picking up with the m s. m seems to drop off anyway, thanks for joining us. we're back at the top of the the ah, we raise the corn and soybeans here. so some issues that are different this year than in years past is that with all the things on the world, the day are input costs have almost doubled me. it's going to be really hard for everybody to keep going. so i will make it somewhat more our current. a lame duck president is
11:28 am
blaming russia for that. your gas company is, are going the plane for the problem, but they are not the problem. so biden really chan blame for causing the problem because he himself caused the problem in both prices have already gone up. fertilizer and chemicals have dramatically risen. what we need to do is make that what united states needs news start and earl and mm we, we've got, we can drill for oil. and for some reason, our government thinks that we shouldn't be using our own oil, which is crazy with
