jeremy co said they say there is a waiting line, but it's so long it never gets to us. the article pointing out ukraine isn't letting people return home comes after, claims that russia forcibly removed people from their home circulated in western media for months last out. and how's the claims as false, instead of goal? citing the risk per life for people in the conflict zone. since february, russia has accepted more than 4000000 people from ukraine, and the regions that recently joined the country residents of hers on or among those moving into other russian regions due to continuous shelling of the city by forces. we asked them about their neighbors were stuck on the other side of the front line as well as abroad. said he's picked up. if they choose to go home, they will be accepted. every body is treated normally here. the last time i spoke with my sister is in germany. she once back, but she can't. russians would let her but ukrainians are unlikely to do so. and you

know, of course people should be allowed to go home. maybe they have their parents, brothers or sisters left there. why don't let them go home? russia would probably let them in, but ukraine is unlikely to let them go. the less cross live now do radio host and political commentator, steve gill, to discuss steve as good to see you. now the washington post has written about ukrainian is oper. oh, she who left the territories now under russia control who want to go back there. so how's the pricing is such an article, considering the common anti russian narrative in the western press? i think it's very surprising and maybe we're seeing just a bit of buying, but journalists, integrity, even the washington. or to report some of the truth. i mean that's been the real tragedy among many in this whole. ready war is that the western media, both european and american media and trying to blind dot as the story. and unfortunately, it seems all too often as if it's more important to follow

a narrative than to actually talk about the story at hand to talk to the people there. but you know, what's interesting about this article is it says that ukraine is stopping people in zapper. oh, she from rejoining their families in russia controlled territories. so why do you think that the washington post specifically chose to highlight the story? well, there's a saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day, so maybe we can buy the washington post that credit for simply being a broken clock. i think that the broader narrative here is, is that as you're pointing out, why are the cranium blocking people from going into what ukraine says are, are ukranian territory. now granted, these folks identify with russia, the russian, the military is occupying or holding these territories for now. but as long as you crane continues to claim that these are their territory, it really makes no sense. but yeah,

and now when it comes to this article, one of the people interviewed in it says that people are blocked from going back because ukrainian authority or because ukrainian authorities fear for their lives. now. how justified is that fear and why do you think that more people aren't talking about it, especially in the west where they claim to care about the civilians that are impacted by this conflict? well, it's just that you had the ukrainians, not caring about the dangerous to people and in the don bass region since 2014, when, when there have been attacking people killing people, yelling these areas for the last month. the, again, these are the territory, ukraine is attacking the western media really bad both. but this may be it all right. it looks like we're having

a little bit of trouble with the connection and there's, we'll have to come back to you. but steve, gil radio, host and political commentator, thank you for your time. thank about 96000 people have been for so we've hades capital, according to the latest report by the us international organization for migration, the country has been embroiled and multiple crises with armed gangs, blocking access to fuel, leading to a shortage of basic goods. the caribbean country is currently trapped in a cycle of skyrocketing prices, gang violence, and a spiraling call or outbreak. gangs have been in control of key infrastructure since september and seek to control more territory. the haitian government has asked for foreign assistance to call the unrest, but haitian protestors have rejected the prospect of international intervention and their calling on the prime minister to step down. meanwhile, the u. s. secretary of state has visited canada and said the countries will work

together to tackle insecurity in the caribbean country. it comes after the us and canada that armored vehicles and other supplies to haiti 2 weeks ago to help police fight armed gangs. ah, security for some sort of security force or no, i understand it's difficult time here. we don't see any country really spend no well use for our country. so that working very closely together to do a few things to try to cut the some insecurity and deal with again problem. want us to support ation, national police, including with equipment, with advice. there is now a 2nd draft resolution in the works of the united nations after the initial

resolution on sanctions that would authorize a non us international assistance mission. it comes after the u. s. suggested the deployment of an international security force to haiti un secretary general, antonio gutierrez, has appealed for an international intervention. the international body has approve a joint us mexican resolution. his ancient, anyone who threatens p security or stability in haiti and the organization yet to vote on the countries request for troops. but their request has been met with concern by many in the country who take into consideration the long history of previous us interventions. mm. mm. mm

mm mm mm mm mm mm let's go live now to political analyst alessandra bruno to discuss. alexandro is great to have you on the program today. now the us in canada

have just had a meeting on the haitian crisis, and according to the us secretary of state, both countries will quote, work closely together to do a few things to try to cut this insecurity not. they've also said nothing about leaving a military force to havi. so is the us beginning to drift away from intervention in the conflict? what say you? well, that will be an interesting start, because i think that intervention is not going to work in haiti after all. there's been intervention in haiti from the u. s. and the so called core group which includes canada, france, and a handful of other countries and organizations. and since, well, i can remember very clearly since 1994, but of course it's been a constant barrage of interventions. and then we've had natural disasters in the in

between which have caused increased amounts of aid and for an organization going in to do. nobody was unclear things. for example, during after the earthquake in 2010 in haiti, one of the natural disasters that exacerbated the situation. we had actors going in flying in and a number of local n g os were saying, please stop sending the state because we can't absorb it. and it's often useless. so what he did need is something else entirely. and it is something that perhaps the international community in those responsible, those most involved in the co group are perhaps not willing to do. and i would say, looking at the history of 80, which is the 1st country after the united states,

to claim independence from a european state. it was france at the time of france demanded huge payments from haiti, which is a limited resource. the capacity. hm struggled to, to pay for that amount and so has kept it complete under developed, started route. so we need to really readdress havi from starting from, from the, from the, comes to the bottom, which is resolving. it's that crisis and then rebuilding its institution. and this is really the key before i forget that one of the main problems that i have with for an intervention which could be particularly what's secondary blink. and one thing to strengthen the police force in havi. it's not

enough to send the arm or they go. the problem with the police in haiti is that i have an institution of a state of a government which is considered in legitimate my most people and which lacks any institutional authority vehicles. and that in police, which is already ineffective to start. so it doesn't matter that whether they have the tools or not, these tools will be seen by the population as being unjust. and will only exacerbate the pension. ok, there really is a long history there and it sends a message when the people on the ground are saying, no, we do not want more for an intervention. now that people there are protesting against the leadership, which is calling for international help. something we understand that the people are very much again, but is an intervention necessary given the energy crisis,

poverty and crime? and at what point are the people there on the ground able to have the say and to be the ones who are calling the shots. so to speak, especially when they've seen this play out time and time again. precisely. and this is the energy crisis is another problem which is a, it's a chronic problem and it's systemic. it's not something that's going to be solved with a, an intervention of bit of that kind. it is going to be solved with an other kind of intervention because the haiti on the island of it's panola is very close to cuba. it's also quite close, not completely, but to venezuela. and what did the venezuela and cooper have in common? they are both under heavy sanction from the united states. and both of these countries could help in other if they didn't have the sanctions that could help haiti get back on its feet, it would be more local, it would be could, after all,

has a similar, it doesn't speak french, but it has a similar population based and certainly an understanding of some of the problems that these people are facing. and so it is venezuela, they could help solve this energy problem better than a so called western in the sense of united states or canadian gone back forth. so we need to look really at where haiti is in the context in which it operates. to solve this crisis more foreign aid, more for in a armed forces or peacekeepers. for example, they would only the situation is such that these even the best intentions, would quickly turn any such military force or aid force into a problem. for the population would only make things worse. not better. so i think

everything else has been tried so far, all the interventions, perhaps it's time to let the haitians solve this issue by themselves. yeah. now when it comes to what the west has done and really kind of keeping havi, this continue revolving cycle where they need to keep relying on the west and their help. what is it for the west in this case? i mean, why do you think they continue to have the same approach to haiti instead of just letting, as you mentioned, neighboring countries help deal with these different crises that have you is facing well have, you doesn't have, it has a few resources, but really not significant it has some mock side which is used to make aluminum and another one of its main products is actually a private by like quite a bit. it's. it's a type of gras oil that is used in the manufacturing of fine perfumes. it's called

regular. havi is the world's largest producer of this resource. however, none of this explain why the west has such an interest in, in haiti. in fact, it is, it is something that i am afraid. i tried to find answers to this for a long time because interventions in haiti have been significant. and i don't want to say, or at least i try not to say what i'm thinking sometimes because as i mentioned earlier, haiti is the 1st state in the sense that the 1st african african populated state to rebel against western colonization. and they did so not very violent, but very effective way. it happened in 18 o 4. and they got rid of every european member on the island

very violently. but the, the islanders still paying for that. and perhaps the west interest in haiti has something to do with it. strange to say, but with a kind of revenge, to make sure that no one else does the same or perhaps to send a message that you don't. you cannot get away from us meeting the, the, the european colonists without paying a huge price. and other than this, i can't find the single reason because haiti is not in a strategic location. it's one of it's half of it occupies half of an island in the middle of the caribbean. and one of the unfortunately, it's a very mountainous island. and so it hasn't been able to exploit the tourism

potential of the dominican republic, which is on the other half. but other than that, this is a, a unique situation. it's a unique state. oh, that we won't find the answers to these questions, i think until the patients are allowed to controller on this to me. yes, certainly a lot at stake there as the protest continue. great inside as always, political analysts alessandra bruno, thank you so much for your time. thank you. e. lawmakers have agreed to set a 0 emissions sale mandate for new cars by 2035. meanwhile, countries of the global south are facing dire ecological consequences and labor rates abuses linked to plans to fulfill europe's ambitions are cheese fear rela, is about explains. it's a done deal. the e. u goes full green and after nearly 100 years of the combustion engine,

europe is set to scrap it by 2035. the agreement sends a strong signal to industry and consumers. europe is embracing the shift to 0 emission mobility. sure, it sounds progressive that europe is embracing 0 emission and no combustion engines means electric vehicles will replace traditional cars all to fight pollution. great, right. well. 7 somewhat, but for europe only even use electric accumulators to store energy. and these batteries are made of several chemicals. a key one being lithium. it's 2nd largest producer and 1st by reserves is sheila were miners pump salt. the lithium containing water called brine, into giant points were the evaporation process to separate the lithium can take years. the practice worsens and already dyer water crisis, and she, les damages, wetlands, and harms communities. this message of brewing of operation is agree,

jesus and its senseless communities, is suffering a slow violence that's creating conditions of ecological exhaustion. we used to have her even before that now doesn't exist. there isn't a drop of water, not only hearing copy apple, but in all of chilly. there are rivers and lakes that have disappeared all because a company has a lot more right to walter than we do as human beings, all citizens of chile. let the i'm the largest producer is bolivia and former president ever. morales said this was the reason behind the countries to global league, the who hasn't only gone against our economic model, but also against the lithium industry. because we have started to industrialize with our own money, with our international reserves and had a nice plan which is now paralyze out of the empire cannot accept that. we can also bring added value to our natural resources to lithium. what about cobalt? the biggest reserves and productions are in the democratic republic of congo and cobalt mining isn't exactly environmentally friendly nor the most humanitarian

practice for locals wastes generated from mining cobalt and other metals can pollute water, air, and soil leading to decreased crop yields contaminated food and water and respiratory and reproductive health issues. mine has reported that working conditions were unsafe, unfair, and stressful. in fact, according to an investigation by global witness, companies like apple tesla, an intel sourcing minerals from the d r c, have been accused of using child labor for mining. and while european energy production is vulnerable, at least it also looks green renewable energy via solar panels. and windmills is shirley better than having anything to do with bad russian gas and coal, which the e u wants to avoid at all costs. we're taking our ambition yet to another level, to make sure that we become independent of russian fossil fuels as quickly as

possible. but the energy produced in the so called eco friendly way needs to be stored somewhere. and that somewhere is an even bigger batteries. of course, in countries in the global south, apparently the green revolution is insatiable and it's hunger for resources from africa and latin america. and to meet europe schools, it uses some of the world's 30th technologies, leaving developing resource rich nations to deal with both production and waste. all for the comfort of the west, just like in old colonial days. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at the top of the hour. ah. in the summer of 2022, italy, along with all other nato member states,
