ah, ah ah, top headlines right here were now to international japan retains at stake and a russian lead energy project that deals with sky rocketing inflation. it also becomes the 1st g 7 member to jump off the seat. russia sanctions dropped. also a head for blue. we have pledged to guarantee security if you create attacks, these vessels, we will be to blame. vladimir putin accuses key f, a, posing a threat to the black sea grain color at all as moscow. again, the slams ukraine for using the passageway to launch military attacks. also
11:01 am
opposition leaders. good alans is ken hughes recently elected president, 1st embracing of genetically modified crops despite endorsing the plan in the past with so as the western world is ultimately embroiled in a bit of a well sanctioned induced energy crisis. let's go eastwood and see how the rest of the world is doing. because japan has decided now to retain 30 percent of its stake . that is, it's 30 percent stake in a major russian oil and gas project. it's cold soccer league, 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 ban russian oil. the decision comes off to japan's consumer inflation rate has risen to an 8th year high. the cost of electricity is increased by at least $1.00 more than 21
11:02 am
percent gas prices up by more than 19 the cost for food as well. going through the roof. let's get more now with auntie contributor rachel marston with her thoughts and opinions. 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, nokia was expected to participate in the russian oil price cow that washington is ginning up in an attempt to limit russian oil revenues. now, because an oil buyers cartels in only really work, if enough countries 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 pledge to phase out russian oil imports. it's not like 7 countries are going to be able to control the global markets for oil or for anything else, but it's maybe enough to get some decent virtue signaling going and maybe keep gra
11:03 am
ukrainian president vladimir 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 rushes. sahalina one well and gas project, which american multinational exxon mobil pulled out of earlier this year. japan, 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
11:04 am
at 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 unless your opinion 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 that sanctioning our own russian gas supply. because, well, that's pretty much exactly what japan is just done and so far, crickets, washington, the russian president, vladimir putin has clarified that the country is not quitting the black sea grain
11:05 am
deal, but only suspending its participation. the move came about because of security concerns following a recent ukrainian drone attack on the russian navy to the rule, they pose a threat both to our shifts, which must ensure the safety of the grain exports and to civilian vessels that are engaged in this, we have pledge 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 court or shift them structure suspended the grain deal after a major drone of talk when it's black see fleet, which had been involved in securing safe package for the agricultural cargo, moscow blamed ukraine and added that the safety of shipping along the corridor could not be guaranteed until the key of commit to not using it for military purposes. and other aspect, all the russian leaders statement late on monday night was that only 5 percent of
11:06 am
the grain exports from ukraine of actually gone to the most in need nations. earlier in this program, my colleagues neal discussed the issue with a human and labor rights lawyer, don kovachick, he joined him right here in the 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 this information 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 that fall again and be a dom, etc, etc. 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
11:07 am
argument to ukraine, global food, the crisis being able to solve that very much top of the agenda for many countries, russia has suspended 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 is particularly the middle east in africa depends 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. but the un climate change conference due to start next week,
11:08 am
some african nations of sounding the alarm over a lack of financial support from rich nations to help to tackle climate challenges . a good bonds environment minister complained that developed countries had failed to deliver on the promise 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 in that funding doesn't ever seem to materialize. we didn't create the problem. and so you would expect a more sincere engagement from develop nations and you would expect them to respect their word and their engagements. meanwhile, the decision of the new british prime minister not to attend the meeting in egypt as being seen as something of a snub, particularly off of the countries and bar and minister said, quote, it was just a gathering which shouldn't have the same level of heads of state and prime ministers attending? well cairo says 90 heads of state and governments have been, well, they will be attending, they have confirmed their attendance already. i spoke earlier with investigative
11:09 am
journalist and co founder of the insight fact madiba madiba. he believes there are forces at play, the don't want to africa to be developed or to be prosperous. it goes beds. when be sold, you the, the co, 19 pandemic. you know how the exits are big since we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we can issue, you know, i mean african countries a shut in to get things while the world refreshing the gym today. and so 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. i think the way the waste is perceived as been a somehow to keep it and developed, you know, because i think it developed africa is going to cause many problems. so the risk and the waste on one that you ever get contributed to that belief meant to the quality of most of the powerful nation. that simple everything we contributed to the economy. of our countries like france, liquid, you know, at the expense of our own african countries. so i think the waste would love to see epic and a developed a like china and russia. mean,
11:10 am
if you look at the going presence of russia and china, the african continent, it's one of brother would, it's one of help each other. art is one of finding projects that benefit both parties. you don't letting to waste or define projects that they're going to benefit from that concussion it. and then we, me, captain leaders say 1999. you use this for them to own those resources. for example, political tensions are on the right and kenya, opposition leaders have been denouncing, recently elected president, william russo for his embrace, of genetically modified crops as all amid fears of mass hunger and lifting the ban on g. m. o crops which had stood in place for 10 years, was one of the 1st moves by the new administration. and ultimately opens the door for the cultivation and import of the scientifically engineered seeds are including the countries staple corn. now according to the un, it's happening as can years experiencing the worst drought in 40 years, ultimately putting millions of lives at risk. and while food insecurity seems to be
11:11 am
president, route, how's main concern is opponents see a larger scheme of play? they've accused the ruling government of profiting from the approval in becoming dependent on importance. but i should just point out quickly that back in 2011, the opposition had a very different opinion. calling those who opposed g m. foods quote, to conservative. the americans cannot be so negligent as to allow the american people to consume gym of food if it is harmful. let us not be too conservative because science is moving on. conservatism is not going to help this country. alarming statements are calculated to instill fear. in this scheme, the worse the pain, the bigger the gain for the shy locks and governments we were talking earlier to remind you all a camber coordinator of an organization that's working to end hunger. and kenya, who says that genetically modified crops will not be welcomed by many of the
11:12 am
citizens of the country. i don't think that we have a student problem in this century that we need to use jim us. i think that, you know, there's more of a hyped and what we talk about under benefits most basically we negative jim on that is really no, i didn't see introducing j most. yes. so many times mentioned chevron looks like you have somebody in the sense that we all are pretty clear that there is no market for your most in this country. where like pushing would you was the procedure. so i don't the lifting the vinyl last 7 years and i was on the, you know, i really dynamic. and the reason i think the thing on the side,
11:13 am
so we kind of consume, i will actually make the final decision. so good to have your company for this program for moscow. joe biden reportedly lost his temper when ukrainian president zelinski asked him for more military aid back in june. this was during a phone call was caught into a report by the us outlet n b c. the u. s. president allegedly told the lensky that he should be more thankful for the aid that he's been getting white house sources, reportedly. so the biden had barely finished telling zelinski about the help coming his way when the ukrainian later began listing what else he needed and simply wasn't guessing. that was set with him when the bible lost his temper. the cold between the 2 ladies came with us had just approved a $1000000000.00 package of military aid. and then just weeks after biden had signed a staggering $40000000000.00 support package. nevertheless, the, the embassy report goes on to state the relations have since improved. well as
11:14 am
cross live and speak with the executive vice president of the year, right. your center, earl rasmussen, joining us here on the program. great to see you today. so thanks so much for coming on the program. why, why do you think so many mainstream media outlets now picked up on the story was essentially based on well, as we understand, anonymous sources from the white house seems like a lot of things were anonymous sources these days. i think it did, it occur most probably president biden's got a pretty short temper throughout his career and, and we've had an open checkbook. but i think the key thing is, is we've got a large number of republicans that are against the open check. but philosophy and to put a stop to the funding. we see the war starting. americans are starting to get tired of the war and, and the endless. we've got problems here. we've got problems all over the us and in
11:15 am
for production, poverty and, and, and we're seeming like we don't care about the american public. and there, i think people are seeing that, and i, this is a just the coincidence on the timing the week before the elections. this is very kind of a political move to kind of offset and say, oh, this administration is not with one open check book. and we are trying to control our limits on, on spending. so there is that the time i got to look at the timing very, very time through the election. we because we, it looks right now the democrats are going to suffer a huge, huge defeat at all. well, that certainly does seem to be the expectations. among many though i have heard some people say that no, the democrats are going to win hugely because they'll just still be election. but that's just the, according to, you know, some of the opinions out there on the internet. i wanted to mentioned that, you know, you talk about the billions being sent from washington, ukraine at
11:16 am
a time of inflation and america is certainly an energy crisis is already going on the report that america is nearly out of diesel. so that's going to disrupt the supply chains across the country as well. the landscape has been getting billions of dollars. there's another $50000000000.00 package, a deal to ukraine, that's on the table in washington right now. if the republicans, because he talked about the mid terms, if the republicans flip congress in the coming days, i mean, do you think it will be the end of the open checkbook policy? it does seem, as you say, the narrative might be changing a bit. and the narrative may be changing a little bit. i think they're trying to buffer kind of isolate, kinda protect the democrats a little bit. and the administration specifically going into the the election but will actually change. i don't see nothing. most republicans are not saying to end the conflict, nor are they you here. and they are some, they're the only ones that are, that are saying we need to find some type of diplomatic solution. but
11:17 am
will the support continue? most likely, it's going to make a drastic change to foreign policy. probably not even if the republicans winning, but there may be more voices there. and that's the key thing. and there may be some limits on the spending, which will, and, and more discussion on accountability as well, which is all which are positive and in those k, i mean are you, i think you raise a really good point just now sort of jumping in, but you talked about the voices, the rising voices. you know, we've got these politicians who run who run operations as far as we know in the countries and around the world. they never seem to be working in the interests of the everyday jo, like you or me when all this crap seems to roll down the hill. you mentioned the voices url. we've seen rec, or historic demonstrations in the check capital. we've seen protests all over germany, france, spain, all over these european countries that protesting the sanctions on russia,
11:18 am
that proto protesting the dropping living stand is that of the energy crisis as well. and yet the mainstream media doesn't want to touch these protests. it's hardly getting any coverage why, why do you think that is earl? it's the, i mean it's protecting the narrative and we know that we don't have, we have some demonstrations here, not as many. it hasn't hit us that bad. we've been here a little bit by, by energy prices than inflation is actually above what the, what the, the official record is. but, but i see this, you mentioned the diesel fuel. we've got a 3 week supply, a month, supply, a diesel fuel and it's going to start shorting. that's going to, that's how your industry operates, truck train, you know, power plants, the heating that's going to a factory that's. that's going to have a big impact on us. and i think we're going to see increased inflation coming in the next year. and i think you're going to see more concern and,
11:19 am
and by the american public. and coming out of that, if the republicans, if they do take the house and let's assume that we don't have any unusual activity within the election, then they're going to have more pressure on them to do something. so the, we'll see what happens on this, but it's, it's all there just the, the level of this information, the level of propaganda. i have never seen such degree in my entire life. this is just horrendous throughout both the european countries. i'm sure it's on both sides, but year in the united states and i can talk from i've never seen this so so much as bad and it's, it's all just supporting the whole political agenda. yeah, well 78. i would agree with you the executive vice president of the eraser center, ill rasmussen, always great to see you. thanks for your insight. ah, well, a familiar scene once again in israel for the 5th time in just 4 years. dozens of
11:20 am
parties are competing in elections for the national parliament. a recent poll suggest the right wing party of the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is a head, possibly restoring him to the premier ship of the liberal party of the current prime minister. good luck. it is expected to come in 2nd, in the background to all that though local. she went to rights to watch dog because race concerns of palestinians and contested territories not being allowed to stand as candidates in the elections or even cast votes. whereas israelis living and those same areas can comes as the you and envoy for the palestinian territories recently slammed israel for quote, settler colonialism. the israeli government, for its part has previously said such remarks had the goal of defaming and isolating israel by betraying it as a racist entity. while other angle to it police have been calling on settlers israeli settlers who have gun licenses to take their arms to the polls. that's according to local media reports. earlier the israeli army deployed 200 extra
11:21 am
troops to the west bank to ensure security and announced a military shut down of a number of palestinian cities and towns on tuesday. palestinian officials claim israel as depriving the palestinian people of exercising their rights. doesn't have is really learned to say, but i 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, and 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. what is there in the state, if you like, in the 1st place, it's an apartheid ecolog nearest estate. so the violence is part of this colonial project anyway, all the time since the establishment of it was right, it was based on violence. and today,
11:22 am
the violence is even more with the atrocities by these are the army on the one hand, and the settlers who are protected by this army who are also valuating, the international law and violating the human rights for the palestinians by all these attacks and atrocities against the palestinians in all of their life aspects . these are ily, 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 it unless they take action. and i think will happen on the one hand, most of the european who do know that these are violating the international law and viability, even the european laws and the human rights close. but at the same time, they say, or they think that their relationship and their interest with america is more
11:23 am
important than the the rights of the seniors, which quite clear that it is a kind of hypocrisy and doubly stanton took her to have you with us for this program from moscow? well, he may have only been at the helm of twitter for just a few days, but ill on mosque is already himself the platform of the complaint hotline operator . seeing that he wasn't in totty joking either number of changes have already been spotted. for example, those twitter employees who hadn't already been sacked by must have had their moderation tools, restricted a new ukraine state of food had media tag has taken his place alongside the existing russia in china ones. and some users, including republican candidate of our owners, governor, have had their accounts on blocked. meanwhile, some prominent us democrats of express outrage over muskets. poachers of twitter, a former senior official under obama said the billionaires should be held personally responsible if he allows hate speech on the platform. that is point,
11:24 am
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 mask 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 and allowing these voices that hate 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 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 more staff among those fired was the very executive who ban donald trump. on top of all of that, twitter will also now believe it or not start to fact check president biden's statements
11:25 am
or the whole host of the conservative daily podcast. jo ultman believes a mosque taking over 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 check 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. ilan talks about how he wants to restore humanity and the 1st place of
11:26 am
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 and we're going to have conversations rather feeling like we're oppressed. so i think it's gonna be good to good for the us. that would be good for people around the world. the russian that defense ministry is reporting that the command and control centers for ukraine's military have been significantly disrupted as a result of stripes. on monday, the attack, so talk to control hubs, communication and energy infrastructure. in addition to management of ukraine's armed forces on that railway logistics support that's also been disrupted. it's also coming from the russian ministry of defense. meantime at the dawn bass region, ukrainian forces proportionally launched a missile strike on a residential area again of join city. following images, you can see what's left of a rocket that hit the roof of our restaurant. complex. fortunately,

richard miller school who was interested for example, 85 percent of the cities infrastructure was damaged, residential houses and apartments $22.00 houses are listed for demolition. we have one problem now which is the gas supply in fighting on the front line left the gas pipeline broken. and the head of the region promised to build a new pipeline from mary opal with the help of the russian federation. and by the beginning of december, this problem should be resolved apart from restoring road construction of brand new apartment buildings shall i. best region is also rebuilding schools and kindergartens. now this particular kindergarten was nearly destroyed by ukrainian artillery shelling. now it is ready to welcome kids come december. now this is just one of many schools and kindergarteners that were destroyed and now completely restored for the kids to attend down. as phillip emma and i suffer to
