ah, sure, we could do that with with your top stories right now. here we're not into national japan retained a can a russian lead energy project that deals with powerful inflation and becomes the 1st g 7 member to jump off the anti rushes to sanctions trap. also ahead for you, we have pledge to guarantee security. if you create a tax, these vessels we will be to blame and accuses kiev of posing a threat to the black sea grain corridor. as moscow again slammed ukraine val, using that passageway in order to launch military attacks. also opposition leaders

denounced can use recently elected president prose, embracing of genetically modified crops despite endorsing the plan in the past with, well, it's the 1st day of november with winter fast approaching for many, so energy scoops up the spot for top story right now. it's great to happy with us. japan that now has decided to retain its 30 percent stake in a major russian oil and gas project, cold cycling, one. japan's economic and trade minister said the operation is extremely important for his countries. energy security. however, the move does fly in the face of an earlier commitment by g 7 states to do what to ban russian energy. here's our team to rachel marston with her thoughts and opinions on this. up until now, japan is pretty much just fall in line with the russ the west and to russian sanctions. and as part of the western lead g 7. ok was expected to participate in

the russian oil price cap. that washington is ginning up in an attempt to limit russian oil revenues. now, because an oil buyers cartels and only really work if in the country sign on. well, this could be a problem. so washington figured out that the very least they could call the shots for all of its g 7 allies. now, earlier this year, the group even pledged to phase out russian oil imports. it's not like 7 countries are going to be able to control the global market for oil or for anything else, but it's maybe enough to get some decent virtue signaling going and maybe keep gra, ukrainian present virus zalinski off their backs for a few minutes. but now tokyo has ruined that whole spectacle of unity by announcing that it would stick with russia. sahalina one well and gas project, which american multinational exxon mobil pulled out of earlier this year. japan is government and oil executives are explaining that the country needs russian energy

to survive. unlike europe or the u. s. japan depends on overseas for almost all of its energy needs. so it's not possible to cut off ties with russia because of the sanctions. in reality, we cannot survive unless we continue to import from russia even if the volumes are smaller. so this is the 1st time that a major us ally has decided that the interests of its own economy and citizens are more important than complying with washington's demands. in its effort to contain russia, it's no wonder since japan's inflation rate for electricity as at 21.5 percent. and that 19.4 percent or gas. so i guess japanese leaders are just going to pretend that something like short showers or turtlenecks can fix problems like this, unlike or pm leaders. so speaking of which the big question now is, what is the us going to do about it?

punish japan or just let it slide. and this is a really interesting litmus tests for all western allies. we're really feeling the pressure to sell out their own interests, just to keep up appearances with respect to unity and ukraine. the european union in particular, must be watching this and thinking what you mean. we could have just said no and drawing a red line, sanctioning our own russian gas supply. because well, that's pretty much exactly what japan was just done. and so far, crickets in washington, ah, the russian defense ministry has just reported that the command and control center for ukraine's minute trade have been significantly disruptive as a result of strikes on monday of the attack. so talk to control hubs, communication and energy infrastructure. in addition, the management of ukraine's armed forces on that rail away logistics support have all been disrupted. this coming from the russian defense minister

the russian president vladimir putin has clarified that the country is not quitting the black sea grain deal, but only suspending its participation at the move came about because of security concerns following our recent ukrainian drone attack on that of the russian navy so that it will rule the pose a threat both to our ships, which must ensure the safety of the grain exports and to civilian vessels that are engaged in this. we have pledged to guarantee security. if you create attacks, these vessels, we will be to blame. everyone is now talking about what russia is doing without thinking about what has led to this, the creation of a threat to this humanitarian chord or so russia suspended the great deal after a major drone attack on its black sea fleet with chaplain, involved in securing safe passage for the agricultural cargo. moscow blamed ukraine and added that the safety of shipping along the corridor could not be guaranteed

until kiev commit stood not using it for military purposes. while another aspect of the, the russian liter statement late monday night was that only 5 percent of the grain exports from ukraine have gone to the most in the nations. my colleague, you name was discussing the issue with a human and labor rights lawyer done kovachick right here in the moscow studio. look the disinformation the censorship around this conflict in ukraine and around russian general the disinformation and censorship in the west. and particularly in the u. s, which i can speak to because i am from the united states, is unprecedented. i've never seen this level of disinformation ever regarding any conflict. and that's saying a lot because we've been lied to a lot about many things about weapons of mass destruction in iraq, about the gulf, the fall again, and be a dom. that for the drift. but this is the worst i've ever seen it. they do not

want to humanize russia or even the russian people they want to de, humanize them to justify continuing to send billions and billions of dollars of argument to ukraine, global food, the crisis being able to solve that very much top of the agenda for many countries, russia had suspended its participation in the black sea green export. what's your thoughts on that? first of all. well, obviously, i'm saddened by it's, you know, people are going to be hurt by that. a lot of the world, particularly the middle east in africa, depend on grain from this region for their survival. at the same time it, it does appear that there were attacks against the russian fleet in the black sea by ukrainian forces. and apparently the u. k. was somehow involved as well, and obviously, you know, when that happens it's no longer a humanitarian court or right. it's now a military court or so it's very regrettable. but i would say that it's,

that it is understandable. the russian president has cold sabotage or the nor stream pipeline system, a quote, terrorist attack that's off the country's top gas producer, was finally allowed to investigate the site of the explosions. however, a full months after the attack took place to live in the field. when you get the problem has been allowed to examine the explosion site on the north stream pipeline system. there were 2 craters, 3 and 5 meters. deep pipe 40 meters long was ripped out of place. been to the 90 degree angle and hurled 40 meter to the side in the direction of the north stream to pipeline, which was also damaged by the explosion and fragments of that pipe. this was clearly a terrorist attack. it is difficult for us to maintain control over this part of the system because it's within the territory of the special economic zone of denmark, sweden, in germany,

explosions on the north stream pipelines occurred on september the 26th and was quickly declared and active, sabotaged by both the western russia and international probe was launched, but moscow was essentially blocked from it. russia claims the u. k. had involvement in the attack and accusation london has dismissed his union undone kovachick again on this, suggesting that one clear reason why russia was banned from the investigation. first, i don't think they wanted russia to see any proof of who damage the pipeline because i think that would implicate the united states in the u. k. but also, you know, because they wanted to destroy, they didn't, they didn't want russia to access to, to be able to fix it. they want the north stream to destroyed. and because they don't want countries like germany, they have have the option of using it in the future. i think we know that us and

british intelligence are very much involved in helping the ukraine military serve. certainly with targeting. we know the ca, for example, is been in the ukraine even before the special operations training various forces there to kill russians. and by the way, that's in the, the i was quoting people who were actually trained by the ca, they were, you know, that's what they were trained in. you know, and as i understand the situation on the ground, i mean, you know, essentially the ukrainian military was more or less destroyed in the early weeks of the special operation. and you know what, what ukraine military's now fighting with is almost all from native, you know, so this really is now a conflict between russia, nato, even though, you know, obviously no one wants to say that explicitly, but i think that's what's happening so that you can join us for our program. so

with a you ends at climate change conference due to start next week. some african nations, a sounding the alarm over lack of financial support from rich nations to help to tackle climate challenges. a bonds environment minister complained that developed countries had fail to deliver on their promises. over and over again. developed nations have committed and not delivered. they've committed to reduce emissions and they're not delivering sufficiently, they've committed to funding and that funding doesn't ever seem to materialize. we didn't create the problem and so you would expect a more sincere engagement from developed nations and you would expect them to respect their word in their engagements. meanwhile, the decision of the new british prime minister not to attend the meeting in egypt is being seen as something of a snub particularly off of the countries in foreign minister said it was a quote, just a gathering which doesn't have the quote, the same level of heads of state and of prime ministers attending or cairo says 90

heads of state and governments have confirmed their attendance will less learn more now. crossing life to discuss the matter with mo, dba mo, dba investigative journalists, and co founder of the insight factor. joining us here, life on all t international, a very well welcome to you. so thank you for coming on the program today. what do you think is the main reason why western countries at the end of the day pay so little attention to the problems all that really affect these developing countries that that seems to be mr. madiba, a sense of unbalance? no, thank you very much. show me on the program once again. look, i think there's a, there's this definition and balance in how the world views of under develop nation funding. and the general perception that they have towards and it was one african countries of the and then created this problem that we now we know, but i mean the t instigators, we have contributed to this to this class that is facing the war. now a, some are not seen at the forefront. they want to take

a back seat. they want to like to be shown on the under developed nations the one semester. that's our problem with the crew to the problem. you know, and i think it goes back to when we saw the corporate 19 pandemic, you know how the exits are big seems where we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're keen issue. you know, i mean african countries a shot in to get things while the world reflection today. since i think this is an imbalance when it comes to, to, to, to, to door, to the way, develop nations view and the develop mission. when you talk about the issue of an imbalance, for example, i let, let 0 in on africa right now. the many call the bread basket of the world. it's got more potential than most continents that we know often. and frankly, it could be developed to an amazing degree to, to support much of the rest of the world. we know that russia and china are involved in the african continent. we know china is developing projects where they develop infrastructure, whether it's roads or housing schools. we know this is going on in parts of the continent. what do you think it's going to take full western professional partners

to increase that focus on the african continent. whereas, for example, the likes of china and russia are already there in a sense. i think the way the waste is perceived as being a somehow to keep it and the developed, you know, because i think it developed africa, it's going to cause many problems with the risk and the waste on one day african contributed to the uplift meant to the quality of most of the powerful nation that simple everything we contributed to the economies of our countries like france, like with, you know, at the expense of our own african. so i think the west would lead to see epic and the developed a leg china and russia. mean, if you look at the growing presence of russia and china on the african continent, it's one or rather would it's one of help each other. art is one of funding projects that benefit up with bodies. you don't letting to waste only fund budget that they're going to benefit from that concussion it. and then we make african leaders say, 19 year 9 to 9 year uses for them to own those resources. for example, you know, so i think is going to cause major problems for the with, because the,

the growing influence of russia and china is beginning to our weaken the african people to say we can work together as equals. so i really feel that the, that the whiskey would really want to see and the develop subs in order to keep it the way it is, know that they can benefit from that. that's actually happening to big diplomatic missions. he'll go into the african continent over the past few months. mr. madiba, you had are the russian a foreign minister. so gay laughed off. he was doing a big tour of africa, meeting a greeting. many people, the american secretary of state antony blank and had actually warned various african heads of states not to have your picture taken with so gay laughter off. it's not a good idea to do a photo opportunity there. it does seem because after love rav did his little tour of africa, then security blinking quickly after him, he also went for a tour of africa. is there potentially a draw to africa? that is making some of the biggest boys on a global block, perhaps bumped shoulders as they're trying to help africa and perhaps even take advantage of the continent. no, i think,

i think the way of the way russia and china handles the diplomatic relationships with african countries as course are major panic for the rest. you know, i think the waste is never seen a partner, you know, and i mean, china and russia, i now beginning to see if can be this one to come. yes, i'm going to come in on, let's work together. you know, because i think a develop nation, a, developed africa is also going to play very right to the for, for, for russia. and for china, for example. you know, so i think i look, i think that the comments made by an american leaders for example. it's also how they don't view a leaders as being an independent or is want to think for african heated thought is one to do things for african people. and i'll give you a recent example just using what happened out the u. s. issues to our tech. i live in the edge area and in south africa, you know, but the soon as it's his neighbor on one occasion issue

a lot of the next you as school shooting, for example, it just shows that they so keen and what happens in africa taking consideration to what happens the own back yard with a body of i'm running very for a long time here. so i'm going to squeeze out one last question. appreciate you. joining us here is so good to have you on this program. and i wanted to ask you, um, you know, that russia, for example, right now with a whole grain corridor issue of the ukrainian a black seaports that russia is going to be supplying millions of grain for free to various african countries. no price attached. what so ever, i wanted to ask you if, if there is this kind of rush to africa right now, and i'm sorry, we've only got about 25 seconds. if a give me please. but what does africa have to offer to the world? look, i think it has good resources, you know, i think we're the richest cleanser in the world that comes to me know sources you know. so i think that's why the waste is what is wanted to take a resource. it just, you know, and i mean if it does the where the exactly what that does the words that has been

much less grateful. it would have made us sign some lighting deals that is going to benefit the day because i'm here and if you this winter, if can people without them having a key interest in that, then if it's more in depth, multi by monday about investigative journalist under co founder of the insight factor. joining us live here in austin international. great to see you. thanks for your time today. thank you very much. thank you. well, political tensions are on the rise and kenya, opposition leaders have been denouncing. recently elected president william rudo for his embrace of genetically modified crops amid fears of mass, hunger, lifting the band on g m. o crops, which had stood in place for 10 years, was one of the 1st moved by the new administration. it's opening the door for the cultivation and import of, well, scientifically engineered seeds, including the country's staple corn. now according to the un, it's happening is kenya is experiencing the worst drought in 40 years,

putting millions of lives at risk. and while food insecurity seems to be president route home main concern, his opponents see a larger scheme at play. they've accused the ruling government of profiting from the approval, then becoming dependent on imports. but i should point out quickly here in the program, it was back in 2011. the opposition had a very different opinion calling those opposed to g m foods quote, to conservative. the americans cannot be so negligent as to allow the american people to consume gym or food if it is harmful. let us not be too conservative because science is moving on. conservatism is not going to help this country. alarm statements are calculated to instill fear. in this scheme, the worst, the pain, the bigger the gain for the shy locks in government. and we spoke about earlier, whether emmanuel coordinator or an organ organization is driving to end hunger in

kenya, who says that genetically modified crops will not be welcomed by many of the citizens of the country. i don't think you'd have a student problem in this century that we need to use gm us. i think that, you know, there's gym or use of hives and what we talk about under benefits most basically we negatively impacts on gm last, that is really no, i didn't see introducing gym on so many options in making sure that you looks like you have something in the sense that we all are used to people will be clear that there is no market for your most in this country. and where lice pushing with your loss will definitely away without feature. so i don't, the lifting, the bottom means that you're not going to give us you know,

really dynamic and the big blue thing on the side. so we kind of consume, will actually make the final decision. so glad you can join us for this program. a rather familiar scene once more in israel, the 5th time and just for years, dozens of parties are competing in elections for that of the national parliament. a recent poll suggests the right wing party of the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is a head, possibly even restoring him to the premier ship. now the liberal party of the current prime minister, dia lafayette, is expected to come in 2nd. now in the background to hold out though a local human rights watch dog has raised concerns over palestinians in contested territories, not being allowed to stand as candidates in the elections or even cost votes. whereas israelis living in those areas can. it comes as the un envoy for the palestinian territories recently slammed israel for quote, settler colonialism. now these ready government for its part has previously said

that such remarks had the goal of defaming and isolating israel by betraying it as a racist entity. but also a police of cold on settlers who have a gun licenses to bring their arms to the polls. that's according to local media reports. earlier, the israeli army deploy 200 extra troops to the west bank to guard against possible attacks and announced a military shutdown of a number of palestinian cities and towns on tuesday. a palestinian officials claim israel is depriving the palestinian people of exercising their rights. doesn't have is really learned to say about am. the campaigning for israel's elections has led to more killing, more israeli settlements and blockades against our people. we know these elections will not bring about a partnership for peace. the world must force israel to allow our palestinian people to exercise their right to vote during these elections, including in the city of jerusalem. is there any state in if you like in the 1st

place, it's an apartheid ecolog nearest the state. so the violence is part of this colonial project anyway, all the time since the establishment of that was it was based on violence. and today the violence is even more with the atrocities by these are in the army on the one hand. and the settlers, who are protected by this army, who are also by erecting international law and by letting the human rights for the policy and by all these attacks and atrocities against the palestinians in all of their life aspects. these are in the, thanks to them. they provide us every day with the new evidence of these violations . but if the international community are going to stop that, i think today it's, it's really very hard to say so or to even expect that because they are not going to take any action against israel unless they take action. and nothing will happen

on the one hand, most of the european who do know that there's a lot of a ratings, international law and viability, even the european laws and the human rights closed. but at the same time they is saying, or they think that their relationship of their interest with america is more important than the, the rights of the unions which quite clear that which is a kind of but you know, hypocrisy and doubly stones. and that's talk twitter. the newly minted owner of twitter, illinois must cause change the bio in his account to twitter complaint hotline operator scenes. perhaps he's not joking a masks efforts to reform the online platform. i've seen him take matters into his own hands. a twitter employees who haven't been sacked by mosque of had their moderation tools. restricted ilan has also created a new ty, ukraine, state affiliated media to sit alongside the existing russia. and china ones is also

unblocked number of accountants previously suspended. like the republican candidate for our zone as governor, whose account was blocked one week before elections, but it's now been restored off the must cut, promised he would look into it. meanwhile, some prominent us democrats have expressed outrage of mosques poachers of twitter. a former senior official under obama says a 1000000000 as should be held personally responsible if he allows hate speech on the platform. this point i think it's going to be the responsibility of each and every one of us to do what we can to hold the law mosque accountable. he will back off when there is pressure. and so folks who care about the truth, who care about protecting vulnerable communities, who ultimately are the ones who are going to be most hurt by his irresponsible behavior in allowing these voices that have to be elevated on this huge platform. we have to keep pushing back and in my hope is that that is going to make

a difference in the long run. it comes as mosque announced the creation of a content moderation council to revise twitter policies on bands for expressing certain opinions is also disbanding. the board of directors and cutting staff among those fired was the executive who ban donald trump. on top of all about the twitter, we'll also now actually stop fact checking president biden's statement, so they're going to be rather busy the host of a conservative daily. it's a pod cast. jo altman believes mosque taking up a twitter is not just good for america. it's actually good for the whole world. i think what the democrats are starting to realize is that by must taking over twitter even if they were to have a mass exodus. it still is a powerful platform where people are too curious to be dragged back to the platform to figure out what is or is not true. and by him doing the things that he did, you know, he, he fact checked hillary clinton, the fact checked. joe biden, he fact checked the new york times all in one day and which made the

talking heads on the radical left. maybe he meant he makes their heads explode because what he's, what he's really saying is if you're going to say something, make sure it's true. otherwise we're not going to make sure that people actually can hear it. if they do hear, we're going to make sure that they know because we do believe in free speech, that what you're saying is a lie, you know, talks about how he wants to restore humanity and the 1st place of restoration to get to a place of restoration inside of society is to make sure you can have honest dialogue and by him doing this, the one thing that i see coming out of this is that we're going to get back to honest dialogue. we're going to have conversations rather feeling like we're oppressed. so i think it's going to get good for the us. it'll be good for people around the world are. let's wrap up with our here on our, to international with the story from pakistan. because pakistan apparently is where a peaceful revolution is coming to just a belief of the country's former prime minister in ron con. he, along with thousands of his supporters was embark on

a week long march all the way to the capital demanding snack elections. oh, the peaceful revolution is coming in. pakistan and the whole nation is agreed to. we don't accept this imported government. we don't accept these slaves of americans here. this nation is united for one cause that is real freedom. it was a big day, a part of our prime to study mom on the 4th day process long bod store. does momma bought this? this is a desktop remote before amazon. com, their best tens of thousands of his support as in this city. our day before, there was an election on bi election on monopoly by the red seats. and enron received 20, yvonne houser boards and borne by seed. because his opposition, 11th parties, candidate, and that seat received only try to puzzle works. so it was a big night so yesterday and today is summer by the head board. i had dismissed our

word by the election commission. harvey has already disqualified pharma. i'm to study milan con. so the course today said that when i'm kind is not disqualified. and he can run 5, the best next jungle alexis saw him run con, now is moving towards the capitalist mom. i bought a lecture in the country and he is wanting, he's up foreigners, that he's bringing that they'd be the see off humans towards his law. and he claims that before he reaches islam, our bod is open and will be defeated and they will not be in position to rule this country. i'm either lock on our do duty gazelle. i'll up august fun alex i tens of thousands. all demonstrate is, are joining in for that march old way to the capital with him around con, at that home. thanks for joining us for an international you'll use returns the top of the hour. ah,

a with mm. welcome to wells apart. the political map of the world as it exists today is in large part the result of the anti colonial struggle.
