a joe biden imposing these sanctions on russia who has destroyed the american economy boomerang. so ah, russia calls on the un security council to discuss the threat of a dirty bomb, false flag attacked by which moscow says it will consider a nuclear terrorism. cracking congress, 30 us house, democrats urge president biden to seat negotiated, settlement to the ukrainian conflict, and a proactive diplomatic push letter to the white house. and the un says it's a quarter. prevention body has been lost from assessing prisons in australia, that's made multiple reports of torture and death of indigenous people over the years.

a mosque out to the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this our russia has called for a un security council meeting on tuesday to voice is concerned. that key i may use a dirty ball as part of a false flag operation, rushes foreign minister survey lab rob has dismissed claims by some of ukraine's allies, that it was actually moscow planning to use such a device. or little noon for love, social causes, detail information, indicating the institution that can do this was transmitted through the minister of defense with his colleagues from the united states. great britain, france and turkey, the unfounded claims, vol. western colleagues, that this is all fiction and russia itself. plans to do something like that to blame the zalinski regime later is not a serious conversation. some of our interlock as suggested discussing information

we have at a professional military level. this is an approach that we've supported. foreign minister, love ross, sad that russia is eager to do whatever possible to bring ukraine's western partners into the discussions about the potentially very dangerous, if not the politic consequences of such a full flag attack if it indeed is carried out. and while menu of love robes, colleagues are some of the love of school. for example, be your secretary said anthony blink and dismissed those allegations as quote, transparent with false warning minister also indicated that such allegations were mad with some professional interests and some of the colleagues he didn't specify who. but some of the countries, as far as we know, russia has reached out front the united states, the united kingdom and turkey. some of those countries have expressed an interest

in discussing the evidence that russia has in the professionals for my dad is among the intelligence officers and military experts. but i have to tell you that something like this is not really a regional. if you remember the, the way that the theory in the war was carried out, we have constant delegation. so full slack attacks. and this is essentially the way that russia has learned to counteract them to it, to try to be preemptive whenever it has allegations or whenever, whenever it has any intelligence on the potential acquisition of dangerous materials, it tries to bring attention of the world wide audience, did and i have to say that if we didn't dissemble that the west would try to exonerate ukraine and accuse rational of all the possible times. but there is already a track record, an official track record of the ukrainian officials expressing direct interest in

acquiring nuclear weapons. for example, president landscape one speaking the minutes security conference earlier this year . he expressly sad that ukraine was looking into that possibility. and what a surprise russia at that point is that despite the fact that nonproliferation is a stated policy in the world, it's, it's stated goal, nonetheless, non of ukraine's rest and partner said anything against that possibility. that's why russia is indeed taking you seriously. former us marine and geopolitical analysts, john mark to get fierce kiev is trying to escalate the war to draw a native deeper into the conflict. we've seen what they have been doing up to now their acts of terrorism, starting with the bombing of dory dugeon and boring up the bridges. and they are escalating things. intel, the point in return,

they want. i can understand why they want west to be involved in making their war. they have that much hatred towards russia. the west has been engaging in a lot of very dirty tactics lately and everything that they've been engaging like the pipeline. the tax on this approach, nuclear power plant, everything they've been engaging in, then they have been pointing the finger is blaming on russia when we all know that it's, it's not russia. i mean, everybody would have a brain understand this. and they're going to do the same thing with this. so the, the question is, is the west going to help them? president biden faces the prospect of divisions in congress as some numbers of his own party are pushing him to change his approach to the ukranian conflict. more than 2 dozen members of congress have signed a letter calling on the president to push for a cease fire and a negotiated solution. so us cross will,

i've now are correspondent caleb mop and who joined us from new york. now, kayla, can you tell us about what is in this letter and couldn't really shift bite and strategy, especially amid the upcoming mid term election? well, it's quite a development in the foreign policy conversation. here in the united states, 30 members of the us house of representatives have sign this letter to the white house, urging them to change tactics when it comes to ukraine and pursue negotiations with russia. now this is quite a development, these are members of biden's own party, the democratic party, and they in their letter are calling for a proactive diplomatic reproach to the situation. this is some of what the letter says, given the destruction created by this war for ukraine in the world, as well as the risk of catastrophic escalation. we also believe it is in the interests of ukraine, the united states, and the world to avoid

a prolonged conflict. for this reason, we urge you to pair the military and economic support the united states has provided to ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for cease fire. now this development comes as there seem to be cracks, potentially in the european coalition, around biting in the united states when it comes to ukraine. now, generally criticism and opposition to biden's moves around ukraine have come not from his own party, but rather from the republicans. the u. s. congress has approved over $60000000000.00 in aid military support to ukraine, and the opposition to it came from republicans. they were 57 republicans in the house of representatives, voted against it. there were 11 us senators voted against it. all of them were ripped publicans, but now we have this letter that comes from democrats. now it's important to note that we are approaching the mid term elections. they are just

a short time away. november 8. americans will go to the polls to elect a new congress, new senators, you members, the house of representatives, and it appears to some degree or other. some democrats want to distance themselves from biden's ukraine policy, a very interesting development. now it's also important to note that a republican or box it white white element. it looks like we're having a little bit of trouble with the sound there. so we're gonna have to come back to our teeth. caleb martin, thank you so much for that update. the asian american journalist association has called on media outlets to stop using the word kamikaze when

reporting on exploding drones used by both ukrainian, an russian forces and their conflict. the organisation claims the coverages inaccurate and encourages discrimination and hate crimes against asian people. the term can cause the drones, his imprecise, the weapons to crush. she's using a ukraine or unmanned aerial vehicles that are remotely pilots. it's designed to detonate on the impact, the drone, slow ity in an area until it's all get is done to fight. then the drone is remotely directed to crash and to the target. the use of the term also risks exacerbate in the racism and harassment that the asian american and pacific islands a community has already faced and continues to face during the current a virus pandemic. the statement ignores the fact that he was actually the 1st to make headlines for its deployment of turkish by rector drones. in the conflict the

organization claims the report and creates a negative historical image of kamikaze attacks by japanese fighter pilots in world war 2 less cross live now to legal and media analyst lionel to discuss this further. lionel, it's always good to have you on the program. now, why has the association become concerned about the use of the word only after russia made headlines for using drones when they've been in use for months by ukraine? well, aside from that, rachel, let's look at how somebody now is, is looking at a, the negative connotation involved in cau, might cause ease in the 1st place. just did just this. think about this kamikaze. they did exist and i read the reports very carefully. and there seems to be a great deal of problems with the fact that this particular type of drum deals with,

allegedly, it is a lead you putatively attacks infrastructure and not necessary only of a military object. where is a kamikaze pilot, who did exist by the way, would attack military? so the term is incorrect. these drones, which by the way, our missiles kamikaze employs a human. i think the last time i checked, i mean this was what, 81 years ago. so i'm a little dusty on this, but did the, the thing which is important to us, if these drones had attacked, let's say military target. would there be no problem? would there then be of no problem? now, rachel, we use terms in our language all the time. let me if i could give you some things that we say that to this day are rooted in racially and an anti semitic and

horrible of stories. for example, a gypped, if you, if, if, if somebody assured change sold down the river, the grandfather clause the peanut gallery, paddy wagons, the hulu, again, eskimos, hip, hip parade cretins or a credit. and now if you want to go through and unravel all of that, be my yes, let me ask you a question. do you really think? and i'm sure it's possible but, but seriously the frequency, the chance of somebody hearing quite a bit. did you hear that? what was that doctor strolled attacks? awful. no, no, no. that's not that. yeah, comma kazi, the japanese there who things like this, who would hear a story about a drone attack? and we're going the etymology of the term. kamikaze 1st is the idea of the drone

and texas. so, i mean, i'm sorry, but these are, you know, i live in a world where we get mad, ad cartoons and mascot's of sports teams. we live with this micro aggression, these triggered words were somebody, i mean this, this to meet look, anybody can be offended if you one, but i think the last thing in the world we should worry about is anti asian hatred . that is inspired not by the use of drone attacks or a ledger drone attacked by the use of the term, comma, kazi, i mean, come, oh, yeah, you make an excellent point. and it is interesting how all of that frustration has been attached to the word and not necessarily to the use of the drones or who was affected by them. now, of course, it's not just this specific conflict. i mean, the u. s. has also been using these drones and various conflicts for years. and i don't believe we've heard nearly as much about the name attached to those with no comment from any major media organization like we're seeing now. it seems to have

become a problem just in the last few weeks. so why do you think they're suddenly this different attitude now that is coming up and being talked about? well, to be honest, i mean i could posit some reason why, by virtue of the timing or it's somebody thinking, i haven't said anything in a while. i haven't brought up any species ideology. listen, i, i, i, i don't want to go through the, the, the, the punctilious overreaction. but you know, in these various suggestions, people were also pointing to president trump, who, who made get this a connection between coven and china. now i'm not here to say there was, i'm not suggesting this put instead of people worrying about co bid about as

sars cove it to this severe this, this, this pandemic. do you know the amount of people who worried about whether this was an f no centric shine o phobic reference to this pandemic? like, would you stop this? have you ever heard of the german measles lyme disease? did we argue about, should we really call this to spanish flu? i mean, let's take a vote. meanwhile, people are dying and we're worrying about the etymology and the labeling of something. i mean, seriously, just one. i think i think we're done with this politically correct stuff. it turns out it's international, it's a new parlor game who can be offended the most over somebody which has nothing to do with the issue. yeah, and it seems as if that competition of her can, may have been the most continue to go on and people take it very seriously, especially on the internet. now i guess the question becomes, okay, so if the media stops using the word kamikaze,

let's say that they take it out of their vocabulary all together. then does anything actually change here? is there any big impact that you see being made in the long term? you know, i was no, in fact i was thinking about something even, even just the idea of war. now think about this. imagine you're meeting the almighty and the, and, and he or she or it says you, are you speaking out against war? yes lord, we are, and what are you saying? oh, talking by the etymology of the word. so trying to distract and remove any kind of s no centric, any kind of heed speech, not the concept of it. you know, we, and i guess this is, this is to the where we are today. we killed by you for missing things. we kill a story by giving it a new name. i'm a lawyer by professional. we always ask whether it's fully, is it illegal? not actually unlawful. is it a used car?

no, it's pre own. and we love to do this. in fact, we're doing in our gender. we're doing it with race. we're doing with political organizations. we're using it, we're pronouns, we're changing the linguistic and the animal angle framework of everything. and it's become a parlor game. but the question i have is, what are we accomplishing? let me ask you, rachel, are there any fewer dro, uh, drones or kamikaze drones? is there piece in the world? if i can eliminate this word, kamikaze, wanton for a prof, i could just eliminate it, which the benefit of how does the world, ah, finally, a drone attack that's not racially inappropriate. finally, we can see destruction that is not named by this, by this taxonomy, this, this etymological. i mean, it, it, it's, it's beyond lunacy. look at these, look at what we're seeing right now. do you care the name of this week?

do you, do you care? do you think anybody hit by a missile? feels pain in the shards of the explosion. more if id said comma kazi, version on man or shoes, week. dicey. man, i didn't mean to say that an unknown person. why did i say that? should i say a says you see where we're going? it i don't, which is not that it does and i question are, what are we accomplishing is something a far more people should be considering right now? legal and media analyst, lionel, thank you for your time and insight. thank you. the u. k has missed mondays deadline for striking a free trade deal with india. negotiations have reportedly been in deadlock. i made comments by the then you k home secretary voicing concerns over an influx of indians into the country leg migration in this country. the largest group of

people who overstate our indian migraines. i have concerns about having an open boat as migration policy with india because i don't think that's what people voted poor with breck said, the free trade talks between the u. k and india were launched earlier this year with greater opportunities for indian students and professionals in the u. k. sat as a main priority by modi's government, new delhi slam the now former home secretaries remarks on migration. i shocking and disappointing archie contributor r t t group says the u. k. official statement jeopardize a beneficial jewel for a london. in fact, it's quite clear that the 2 sides did not come to any agreement because of you gaze into no minister. that is sure, i love brave woman. she made some remark which were quite and worse and hostile

towards india as to its indian immigrants. to the yuki, and in fact, she comments about indians. always staying on their visa to united kingdom. having taken very seriously by the government to think and the government of india has expressed its unpleasantness. ah, with a historic 3rd term now ahead of him, chinese president shooting pig has been building his team to begin addressing the challenges discussed as the party congress in beijing. the 7 member committee, which himself plays a role in handling china's internal and foreign policy for his 3rd term. she has re shuffled 4 of its members with all of them being has close allies. some analysts say the move is an effort to break down division between party and state. a number

of leading specialists have also been brought into the committee this year as well, including a leading aerospace engineering point here. some of the new faces in the new chinese leadership. all of she's new colleagues, have management experience and degrees in key sectors like business economics, law and politics. one of them side, she successfully organized the winter olympics held in beijing earlier this year. a number of new specialists have also been brought into the team to including a leading aerospace engineer, the vice president of the center for china and globalization. victor doubt says the new chinese a week is well qualified to meet future challenges. if you look at the composition of the $24.00 members of the liberal and the 7 members and the standing committee of the party bureau, each of them is highly qualified in terms of education, for example. they all have college degrees or graduate degrees,

or ph. d degrees. quite a few of them had engineering background in aerospace engineering disciplines for example. and then even more importantly, most of them have been rotating through the chinese system from cities, 2 provinces, and 2 central ministries and leading 3rd party affairs, as well as governor, as you name it. so they have huge exposure to college experiences. now how get them to know people in all parts of china very, very well. now, whether they're eventual responsibilities will have a direct relation with the discipline that they are focusing on. for example, aerospace or not, i think there should not be a direct linkage or connectivity. however, whatever their background or disciplines in the past were definitely would

contribute to whatever they will do going forward in their very important party leadership role and government leadership role. the un says it's towards your prevention body has been blocked from assessing prisons in australia is by claims that now practice and even death. and some of the facilities, many of the alleged victims were said to be indigenous people despite its continued efforts to engage the authorities for the resolution of the problems, the delegation of the united nations sub committee on prevention of torture continued to be obstructed in the exercise of its mandate. as a result of this, the espy team members felt that their visit had been compromised to such an extent that they had no other option but to suspend it. so the u. n. as in happy with australia, basically they consider this a violation of human rights, specifically violating the op cat, which is a treaty that australia is a part of and base of who this means is that they, they're not allowing this,

inspectors to go into the state prisons they're not allowing them to go into the mental facilities and they think they should be allowed to go in that they should be able to go in unannounced and be able to look at what's going on without being prohibited. and so right now they're being prohibited. so they've decided to suspend the rest of their trip, which would have gone on to october 27th. and so more than 70 organizations have issued a statement condemning this act by osby, astro alia, and various states in there as well. and what's interesting, rory is this rhetoric right now, and h r c official tweeted that this is embarrassing for australia. it puts them in the same campus, rwanda, ukraine, in azerbaijan. i'd and it's interesting, given the fact that australia and many other western nations have been ignoring ukraine's crimes against humanity. and here's where other, some of corruption spokespeople also said it's really unnecessary. i think, for the un to demand to get into our jail system. we run

a safe and orderly system. we don't torture people, aren't they better off going to places like iran. you see people getting tortured in jails all the time. there are not going to have un inspectors from iran and china and cuba coming to new south wales jails and tell us that we're doing things wrong. so what we're, we're getting here is the sunset. the australian government does not seem to like or expect the you and to hold them accountable, but only hold their phones accountable. and of course, they can't show the failings of such an advance and quote, civilized society like australia. in queensland, we have a terrible situation of deaths in custody where hundreds of indigenous people have died in police custody. these relate to situations in immigration detention where what we found in places like now are you and popular new guinea amounts to torture . so what we're mostly seeing here is an equity in terms of racial inequality with how these aboriginal and indigenous people are being treated versus everybody else

. this is kind of similar to america. they are dying in police custody recently. there was an aboriginal prisoner who was actually meant to get out of prison who died in police custody, and he was a 2nd within 2 weeks. the guardian actually spent the last 3 years tracking the numbers. and it said that over 470 indigenous people have died since early 9991 in that number just keeps growing and growing. and of course the people who died in custody were, were not likely to receive medical treatment. so this is, this is something like i said, we're not, it's not new, but it is becoming more prevalent. and what we're seeing is that this is a national shame for australia. whereas a country that considers itself extremely civilized, extremely modernized. it doesn't quite lend itself to be that we spoke to him. anderson had of the sydney based center for counter had your malec studies. this is australia and the west at large uses human rights as a tool to intervene and other countries affairs,

while not holding themselves to account to very well known these systematic crimes . and when, when it comes to time for some outside scrutiny, they can't deal with it. they simply cannot deal with something that really they need to be reminded of that these are people, after all, who are preaching human rights all around the world. the foreign policy following that washington is full of these claims about human rights. but i don't want to, i'm that them, there is a general patent minutes. we're talking about a strike, but there is a general patent that, of course, the us itself does not allow the international criminal court to look at any of the sections around the world. israel is the same, but of course they use it as a tool. they use human rights these days as a tool against independent countries that they want to discipline. some of the worst forms of democracy are in the west. basically, particularly the intervention is form. before we get into social democracy, let's look at the fact that the western countries,

the interview in other countries, they have no mandate at all to that there is no international law that allows them to invite to carry a proxy was dirty, was around the world to try to claim that the carrier was these days in the name of the rule space international order. there is no mandate for any of these sorts of things. there is no one voting for them to do that. there is no accountability and that the worst of all forms the democracy of those were carried out with imperial interventions. and now on the middle east were too loud. blast had been heard in the syrian capital of damascus on monday morning, injuring a soldier and causing material damage. syria accuses israel of carrying out a missile attack, so television has declined to comment. a local press t v correspondent has more on mondays. incident that about 2 pm local time here in damascus, theory and be there in capital damascus. heard sounds of last an explosion. i heard them. i was driving my car. i traces of syrian air defense miss housing at

the air or didn't ask us so which turned out to be an israeli strike. according to an official military source which hit various parts of damascus and its countryside through an air defenses were able to intercept several m. e massage power parts. some of them hit their positions and injured one to military personnel and caused some material damage. it's not actually expected to see western media sitting like and focusing on fox news that is attacking to yeah, we all know that there has been international silence over such attacks on syria by israel. the international community has not been issuing any even condemnation on such attacks. despite the fact that such, it's really a trice are undermining serious sovereignty or prolonging the crisis and syria. they are against international law and against the un charter. but yet we have not

heard of any condemnation by any western countries over such attacks. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah ah .
