2:01 pm
opposing any attempt by the bug to create a so called unified policy on the program, a protest, tons deadly in the african country of chad, leaving at least 50 people dead and hundreds injured. it's off the police report will use lethal force against the crowds, opposed to the fronds back. government with stories molar around the world from moscow. this is awesome international, it's great to have your company so full people, as we understand, have been killed and 10 injured, including children, when a fairy crossing point in the heart of san region came on to fire over night by ukrainian forces. this is, according to local officials. authorities say that 12 you have supplied high mas rockets will find that the area with 11 of the report li, intercepted by russian defense is
2:02 pm
a key of confirmed the nighttime attack. but said no civilians could have been hurt because of a curfew in place. ukraine also claims a could only of hit russian soldiers disguised as civilians. however, that statement is very much contested by some of the survivors is just for needs as i'm in the hospital right now and everything is fine. take a look at the chart they took out of me. there was a miss house strike by the ukrainian army on the antonio sky bridge. we stood with a column of journalists and waited for the crossing. every one could hear the air defense systems working and got rather used to it. i was sitting in the back seat and heard an explosion. i felt glass falling on me and a colleague pulled me out of the car and covered me with his body. that saved me. he is also fine, but a, i'm sure of what i saw. the military was not there. it was a column of civilians. just people who wanted to evacuate from the city and go to a safer place. it is. your woman store were you remember the defense is firing. my
2:03 pm
colleague asked me why i was hugging her, but i was trying to cover her with my body. she was injured, but she's been treated now. unfortunately, our editor had died. we just wanted to get to the other side and continue all work . there were not soldiers. we don't carry guns. we didn't record anything on the bridge. we didn't have any duties that we wrote in a coven. unfortunately, we were caught by the shelling. we want to stop doing our job and shot our mouse. there was ukraine's botched efforts will keep telling the truth. the french president emanuel macaroni has accused the united states of having a double standards approach when it comes to energy prices. as it turns out, washington is selling its allies gas, set of price that is $3.00 to $4.00 times higher than it costs us consume. here to show you some flip on, there are choices made by the american economy, which are clear and that i respect. however, they create
2:04 pm
a double standard when you have energy prices, which are much lower than ours since the united states, as a producer of hydrocarbon with the s, and they sell us gas at a price $3.00 or 4 times greater than they do to their own industries on there indeed is a double standard. now the thousands come after a summit of a new leaders failed to uphold a united front point of decision to impose a price cap on russian gas. with now both germany and a hungary refusing to rush into any agreement that doesn't have any power and official plan. the commission proposal on the gas price cap is like going to a bar and telling the bar tender you want to pay half price for your beer. not going to happen. customers can reduce energy prices, only diversification and competition can. and that is the leader to met well into the night last night, desperately want everyone. but you know, especially russian president, reputed to retain from the energy crisis meeting is that everyone is united. but anyone listening to what victor are gone said there, for example,
2:05 pm
can tell that there's really no consensus among all of the members states and the idea of a price cap that you can dictate to the world how much they can charge you for energy. exactly the kind of arrogant, counterproductive, ideological fantasy that while you'd expect from the block to the point where some of them like hungry and germany, are just not waiting around for this brain dropping to fully ripen. but other than their unity propaganda already have no actual results report from their meeting except that they agree to keep working on any grain. you european council president sharp, michelle e, you council has reached an agreement on the energy you didn't see. and so there is a prevail, agreed to work in measures to continue energy prices for households and businesses . sounds like you're celebrating the fact that they simply agreed to keep meeting, you know, we should all try that next time at work. yeah, that's what an accomplishment. european citizen, they're taking for fools here pretty much are struggling under crushing inflation
2:06 pm
and energy bills and warm fuzzy feelings of european unity aren't going to power their heating or put food on their tables when they really need to do so today. not no week, non a few days or whenever out these we can get around to working on this problem. next, unity is not going to power the german industry. that feels the you either, which is why germany isn't waiting around for a block wide solution and had already decided to throw 200000000000 euros at the problem just to keep the country afloat, but french president emanuel. michael does not like how germany is handling its own sovereign affair. i think our role is to do everything for there to be european unity and for germany to be part of this. this is how i see my function, my ro, i think that is not good for germany of europe, to isolate itself. the sphere is that its country to go their own way and start doing whatever they want to deal with this crisis caused by brussels on policies. then risk completely deregulating the european common market. it's
2:07 pm
a bit late for that though brussels impose the sanctions against its own interests, demanded adherence, and unity of the member states, and then left them to send for themselves while they figured out what to do about it. beyond yelling at people, how to dress and shower, to save energy or pay better. yeah, just don't use energy at all as european commission vice president ron timmerman now just saving energy, not using energy is the cheapest energy, obviously. and this is not just something that is discussed between here i'm, i'm not trying to, to convince you because i don't need to, i know you, you agree with me, but it's something that i hear everywhere in europe now. yeah. not using energy certainly is the cheapest energy. so the bottom line here is that still really every country for itself and every citizens for himself or herself and paying the bills that are piling up. all the european leaders figure out when they can next it
2:08 pm
around the champagne and celebrate their unity. the latest protest over a deepening political crisis and the african country of chad have left as we understand now, 50 people dead county, more than $300.00 wounded after security forces use lethal force to break up the crowds. i should warn you, some of the following images you may find disturbing. the country has been under military rule since last year, when the president was killed. why visiting troops? protests have raised since it was an hour earlier this month that the army would remain in power for 2 more years. meanwhile, the countries, former colonial power of frogs has condemned to violence, but denied any connection to the crisis. calling the situation, quote, child's internal affair, will our africa correspond and cut rabble as cattle? it takes us through more details of the crisis that continues to unfold in china. well, rory, what do we know is that this has been a country and tell me,
2:09 pm
loyal following the death of it for my lead man, who ruled with an iron clad fist, really missed it. reef the bree. he passed away while he was on the front line of a military offensive and operations fighting the rebels in that region. now as you know, kid is a very strategically important country for western countries, but particularly for france, it is a former colony. but ever since it got its independence in 1960, the country has not really enjoyed the of what would be a democratic state. lest thou de b has been in charge of that country for 3 decades. and in that time, he has used his strong military and security apparatus to quell any resistance that challenged his authority. but following his death in april, the 2021, his son mohammed, debbie, or more popularly known as mohammed crocker took over the as the head of the
2:10 pm
transitional military government. now this government has pushed back on the original agree to date that the 20th of october would be the day when the transition ends and an asha, a democratic rule. now what has not been said largely is that that was pushed back by mohammed debbie. rather, he was pre pushed the date back for the democratic dispensation to october 2024. now for opposition parties, civil society as well as general teddy. and this was not a palatable decision. and the particularly my st yesterday on the capital city to void that and as a symbolic way of saying that they deserve the right to choose their own leader and their own governments. but i really think that what really stirred the pot was when the protestors took to the offices of the national union for democracy and renewal,
2:11 pm
which is the political party of the current leader of the transitional government to mister sel, ark absorber. and upon setting their allied, that's when really things intensified. but bliss, remember here, chaired still remains one of the poorest countries in the world. in fact, according to the u. n. is the 5th poorest country in the world, and there has not been any kind of sovereignty even posed independence from france . that's always been a sense that the country has been rude almost by a satellite from paris. and there has not been a single ruler and leader in that country who has not done so with the blessing and support of paris. now for france to come and deny its involvement here. considering the economic power it wields in that country, as well as the political clouds that it continues to enjoy. and the military
2:12 pm
exercises that its been part of in that country. france cannot deny complete responsibility. they are at least culpable, but at best they are just as guilty as the transitional government. now, the former, the former foreign minister of that country, who now happens to be the a you leader, miss thumb mussa fucking, muhammad tweeted that he sees this as a suppression of people's rights to demonstrate and called former cessation to the violence and entered storing of peace ah, so good to have your company for this hour's program. as recent polls show that joe biden has lost touch with his supporters. with surveys, addressing the president's intense focus on the constant funding of ukraine could at least be partially to blame. a correspondent in new york is caleb martin. well, november 8th, we've got mid term elections coming up in the united states,
2:13 pm
and many are asking the question if the republicans take back control of the house and the senate, will the key of government continue to get blank jacks from the united states to continue to prolong this war and fund their activities? well, recent comments from the leader of the republicans in the house, gavin mccarthy, they say that that will not be the case so that they will slow down to some degree funding from the united states. who are the military conflict? so that raises question now, joe biden apparently says he's staying up late at night, worrying about this. this is by reacting. they said that if they, when they're not let it continue to fund ukraine, the ukranian war against the russians. these guys don't get it. it's a lot bigger than ukraine. it's east and europe. it's nato. it's real serious, serious, consequential outcomes. they have no sense of american foreign policy now that dismissal of republicans of just not having sense of american foreign policy isn't
2:14 pm
just a snob at the republican party. it's a snob, the bulk of the american people all show that one era americans are asked to their top priorities regarding the situation in the country, what they're voting around. they don't list foreign policy, and ukraine is among them. the top concern that americans are taking to the polls on november 8th, according to a recent poll that was conducted of their top concern is inflation and the rising cost of food, the rising cost of energy in addition to being concerned about inflation. another major issue that american voters are concerned about is the border, and they're not talking about the borders of ukraine. they're talking about the borders of the united states and the security issue. there. my constituents are saying, why are we more worried about ukraine's buddhist than we are about america's borders? my constituents are no, they are going, gosh, we have to save you grains borders. now this isn't the only poll that have been
2:15 pm
taken to show this biden doesn't seem to take the hint, but polling has consistently shown that the american people are not really as deeply invested in this conflict with ukraine as the white house is. they just don't share the white house's enthusiasm about it, and there is a feeling that the domestic situation is being neglected. these are the results that came out in a recent poll taken by the very prestigious pulling agency known as quincy hurried us arms, policy and practice. too often fuel war, rather than deterring it, roughly 2 thirds of current conflict, 34 out of 46 involve one or more parties armed by the united states. of the u. s. supplied nations at war 16 received $50000000.00 or more worth of us arms between 201720. 21 contradicts the long standing argument that u. s. army routinely promote stability and deter conflict. now that paul from the quincy institute shows what poll after poll after poll has shown that essentially
2:16 pm
the white house is ukraine, policies are lose lose on the one hand pouring more money into key is only going to prolong this conflict that has already had disastrous results. for the global energy markets to the global economy, affecting american, and on top of that, the more money that the white house continues to pour into, the more average americans feel like their needs are being neglected. so the white house is just ultimately losing out with their ukraine policies tend to and now the un security council has approved a u. s. mexico and resolution to sanction quote, anyone who threatens piece security or stability in haiti. the move comes as the western hemisphere poorest country has been embroiled and while multiple crises that says washington has been seeking us authorization. busy for mission to enforce law and order in the country that have been repeated calls in the us media for some
2:17 pm
kind of intervention in haiti. the washington post editorial board has called for military intervention and hazy 8 times since the july 2021. assassination of president jo vanelle, more ease. haiti is on the brink of revolution than the u. s. will do anything to stop it. now we're up to 9 washington post editorial board coals for military intervention, haiti since summer 2021. it hasn't even been a week since the last one. now with the country car, a trapped in a vortex of sky rocketing prices of gang violence and a chronic cholera outbreak. the haitian government has asked for foreign to help to quell the unrest. but that request has also been met with concern by many in the country. ah ah,
2:18 pm
2:19 pm
a very welcome to use. so the people ultimately a protesting or one against the leadership, which is that the same time calling for international help. it's also something as we understand, the people are also protesting. again, many of them are, are against external players coming in to quality unrest. but don, i don't know, perhaps it's necessary, give them the energy crisis of poverty and crying. what do you think? well, this would be if there is a military intervention in haiti, you would be the 4th in about one center and the others have been absolute disasters. that lead to only that only worse than the situation for, for haitians who live in the worst poverty in the western hemisphere. and the un resolution that was passed unanimously today. level sanctions, which are often a, a proof prelude to, to military intervention. the sanctions target a figure named jimmy barbecue chevy ca, who is accused by the united states of carrying out
2:20 pm
a series of massacres. but the reality is that this is a part of a disinformation campaign. launched by the u. s embassy through its partner through the national endowment for democracy and its allies in, in the u. s. media that have repeated these claims without examining them. but. 1 myself, i've actually investigated these claims that should be carried out massacres in the neighbourhood of la selene and bel air in grand ravines, and they're all false. actually, these were not massive hers. there is no evidence show there is, and this is part of the, the disinformation campaign to demonize in order to pave the way for a military intervention. similar to how saddam hussein was demonized or bashar assad or, or mark adolphe. so we need to be very wary about any potential military intervention here. not fascinating. what you say that done about this disinformation campaign. and as you drew some very interesting comparisons to iraq and w, m b, syria,
2:21 pm
and so on and so forth. you say that if they were a military intervention in haiti, it would be at least the 4th in the last century. the un is now issuing sanctions to be drafted. i mean, on a personal level, i don't know how that's going to help the situation really. but what, what can the un realistically do to try and help whatever the crisis really is there? well, i think the key thing is that the un needs to make sure that it does not go along with the u. s. plot to, to authorize a military intervention. and of course, that comes down to the most powerful players there outside sides in the u. s. which are russia and china. and so the resolution that the u. s. is floating to, to authorize the military intervention by essentially deputize in a un member state has to be fully and widely rejected. because this will only lead you to more whores for, for the people of haiti. and not only that, the,
2:22 pm
the interim prime minister ariel on read his mandate is completely unconstitutional . there was never a vote. he was simply anointed by the united states and the core group to lead haiti in the wake of the assassination in july 2021 of president jovan oma. we so he has no legitimacy according to the haitian constitution and therefore can not legally request a foreign military intervention. it's as simple as that, and that's something that the chinese ambassador at the us pointed out in their testimony. the security council, i believe on monday, is for new, interesting, you bring in the angles of russia and china into this equation, which really kind of opens up pandora's box here. why did you mention those 2 countries? well, because they are, they, they hold the veto power at the un security council, and the united states, united states has been intent on the posing and assassinating sirizi a this,
2:23 pm
this figure whose nickname is barbecue. since about 2019, when it identified him as a threat and put him under magnets sanctions to identified him as a threat to us interest in the ongoing, neo colonial plunder of haiti. a situation that has hasn't changed in essentially 2 centuries and the u. s has been responsible for recruiting cause for invasions, for all kinds of horrible crimes against 80. and this is, and this is exactly what the us wants to do once again to maintain the status quo of enormous profits for or it's local oligarchs. when you talk about maintaining enormous profits it, but i wanted to ask you, and i, don, i've got very little time. i'm going to give you 30 seconds for this. i do apologize for that in advance, but, but you know, why it haiti such a special case, i'm in iraq. ok, energy, oil, afghanistan, mineral wealth, so on and so forth to syria where they wanted to do all these criss cross pipelines
2:24 pm
across syria and territory. what's the deal with haiti done? well, aside from the resources there in haiti, the, the main reason is that us cannot allow an example such as haiti to inspire other countries to go out of the orbit of us empire as it, as it has inspired other countries before and for the haitian revolution. led to the collapse of chattel slavery in the west and european colonialism. and the u. s . wants to maintain its grip on the western hemisphere, what it calls its backyard. and it cannot allow, essentially, a domino effect if something were to happen in haiti, then who knows what happens in the dominican republic or puerto rico so, so the u. s. can not let any country whether haiti or otherwise make an example. dan cohen, american john list with some commentary that you just won't hear on the mainstream media really appreciate your time. thanks for joining us here or nazi. thank you.
2:25 pm
thanks very much. quote, directly engaged on the ground in crimea. that's the accusation being leveled against terran by the white house which claims its helping russia in its conflict with ukraine or the national security council spokesman. john coby said tara is providing drones and training russian troops to use them. however, the russian foreign ministry hit back saying the claims will groundless. getting applied to misconduct. there's no need to comment on the claims made to us and to iran, since they're just a set of unfounded conclusions and far fetched assumptions. this is not the 1st time when the u. s. administration has been trying to accuse iran of all kinds of violations of un security council resolution 2231. but who really violates un security council resolution 223. 1 is not that it's the united states of america, and now it's absurd, a logical to try and find ways to convict others of what they don't do themselves.
2:26 pm
see chess iranian drones being used by russia in ukraine or even iranian, come me kazi droves for quite a while already to iran has been under fire by western countries for hooking russia up with unmanned systems. although both iran and moscow have denied being involved in this kind of corporation, but like you've heard the western allegations don't and they're now to ron, is be accused of sending personnel to the conflict zone. all of this is becoming a huge concern for kids allies. so much that they're now taken action. london has sanctioned a group of iranian military figures as well as a defense contractor washington has threatened to punish anyone who facilitates the deliveries of iranian arms to russia. now this brings me to how kias allies justify the move. they say that any contribution to the war in ukraine is absolutely
2:27 pm
unacceptable to force. no country should to no support in any way these kind of barbaric war. and it's clear that to week one on iran to still be part of this, of this or this atrocious war. so together, together all of us are the ones who say for the right reasons that it's such a war should much take place and should be stopped on every one's helping this war is sir, is to be held accountable. the same thing applies to run, the ironic thing is that the west has been involved in all kinds of support for key of military efforts since february. now the latest reports in the us media suggest that american lawmakers are mulling over a $50000000000.00 aid package for keith. this would be on top $65000000000.00 in aid that ukraine already received. now if we take a look at iraq, the
2:28 pm
e u as really playing catch up, the blog has just agreed to train 50000 ukranian troops on european soil. the e u military assistance mission will train the ukraine an armed forces, so they can continue their courageous fight. the emo to assist us mission, that is not just a training mission. it is a clear proof that the e will stand by ukraine for as long as it's needed when it comes to the deliveries of arms. germany's iris t air defense systems are already in ukraine. these slovakian, susanna howitzers, will be on their way soon, and these are just 2 examples. anyway, the bottom line is those who are sounding the alarm over iran's alleged involvement are more than involved themselves. good old hypocrisy, that's what it's cold. so good to have your company for this program from moscow. you gotta be careful telling the truth these days. you know, when you are telling the truth, because twitter delete set,
2:29 pm
facebook blocks it you to bands it. and twitter has now permanently suspended the arts. he india account created only about a month ago. the social media john gave no warning, but among the reasons cited for its move or quote serial. busy or multiple accounts use attempts to evade pomona suspension and the use of bots. but that story continues online right now at r t dot com and continues to be updated. do i log on when you have the time and it's comfortable and convenient for you? by that said, this newport news program for now, here from moscow, a naughty international. thank you so much for joining us. we are back soon with more of your new with ah,
2:30 pm
to come to russian state. oh never. i've unfortunately no santini, devastation mckindoe's house. nonsense this big. okay. so when i used to fagel speaking, when else calls with, we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date and school r t spoke neck, given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with comment question, did you think even close with me. oh we raised a corn and so.
