[000:00:00;00] ah, the top headlines right now, one off the international japan retains at stake a russian lead energy project that it deals with sky rocketing innovation. and ultimately, japan becomes the 1st g 7 member to jump off the anti russia sanctions track. also ahead for you, we have pledge to guarantee security. if you create attacks these vessels, we will be to blame the person accused of posing a threat to the black sea grey and corridor. as moscow again slammed ukraine for

using the passageway to launch minutes regret also opposition leaders denouncing tenuous, recently elected president for his embracing of genetically modified crops. despite the opposition endorsing the plan in the park. the news i took off at 7 pm on tuesday here at moscow in a very warm welcome to you from the entire team news team. i'm role researcher. as the western world realtor made a sanctions induced energy crisis, japan has decided to retain its 30 percent stake in a major russian oil and gas project. it's called saline 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 old g 7 states to ban russian oil. now the decision comes as jer, pounds,

consumer inflation rate has risen to an 8 year high. the cost of electricity is up by more than 21 percent gas prices sky rocketing by nearly 20 percent. and the cost for food has also gone up as well. let's get the thoughts and opinions now of asi contributed rachel marston. 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, the 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 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 president by mere 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

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 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 test 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, we heard from a senior lecturer at the university of bar who says japan needs this g 7 partners

to understand its domestic situation. han has to make the teeth of an all, i understand your position is very different from other european and also western powers. it is important to note making yourself having that relationship with all these major nuclear powers next to you. and so this is, this is reasonable that the japanese a deep tissue to a couple and decided that they need to mitigate the relationship with one of them. given the fact that japan has already alive with the us and the wisdom power to contain men, to criticize and sanction russia. today they meet. if you turn in a simple trying to slow down the downward spiral of their relationship with russia, the russian president vladimir putin has clarified the country is not quitting the

black sea grain deal, but only suspending its role at the move came about because of security concerns. following a recent ukrainian drone attack on that of the russian navy. little the post thread, both to our ships, 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 a tax, 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 cord or them restructure, suspended the grain deal after a major drone attack on its black sea fleet, which believe it or not, i've been involved in securing safe passage for the agricultural cock or something . the mainstream media is not talking about moscow blamed ukraine, and i did that. the safety of the shipping along the corridor could not be guaranteed that his entailed kiev commits to not using it for military purposes.

president vote and also discuss the issue with his took his counterpart and stated that russia could consider resuming participation in the great deal, but only offer a detailed investigation of attack on other aspect of the russian lead. a statement late on monday night with it only 5 percent of the grain exports from ukraine. i've actually gone to the most in need nations. earlier today, my colleague and neal discussed this issue with human and labor rights lawyer, dan cavallo, who joined us here in the moscow studio. look the disinformation the censorship around this conflict in ukraine and around russia in 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, the fall again, and vietnam, 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 argument to ukraine, global food, the crisis being able to solve that very much top of the agenda for many countries, russia had suspended the 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 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 with the un, the climate change conference us going to be starting next week. some african nations are actually sound and be alarmed over a lack of financial support from rich nations to help tackle climate challenges. a good bonds environment minister complained that developed countries that 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 develop nations and you would expect them to respect their word and their engagements. meanwhile, the decision of a new british prime minister not to attend the meeting in egypt as being seen as something of a snub,

particularly after the country's environment minister said it was quote, just a gathering which doesn't have the same level of heads of state and a prime ministers attending, well cairo says 90 heads of state and governments have confirmed their tandems. we spoke about it with investigative journalists and co founder of the insight factor mo, d bay, mo dba. he believes there are forces at play, the don't want africa to be developed. they also don't want africa to be prosperous . it goes bends. when we saw june the co, 19 pandemic. you know how the exit survey scenes. we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're can issue, you know, i mean african countries shaddon to get things while the world refreshing kim, today's and so i think this is an in balance 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 dina. somehow to keep it and developed, you know, because i think it developed africa,

it's going to cause many problems for the risk and the waste or one that you ever get contributed to that belief meant to the quality of most of the combination that simple everything we contribute to the economy of our countries, like france, like with, you know, at the expense of our own african countries. so i think the waste would love to see epic and the developed and like china and russia. you mean, if you look at the growing presence of russia and china, the continent, it's one of brother would it's one of help each other is one of funding projects that benefit both parties even letting to waste only fund budget that they're going to benefit from that can coordinate and then we make african leaders say, 1999 year uses for them to own those resources. for example, political tensions are on the rise in kenya. opposition leaders, as we understand have been denouncing, recently elected president william, brutal for his embrace, of genetically modified crops amid fears of mass, hunger. now, lifting the band on g m crops, which had stood in place for 10 years,

was one of the 1st moves by the new administration. it ultimately opened the door for the cultivation and import of scientifically engineered seeds, including the country's main staple corn. and according to the un, it's happening as kenya is experiencing the worst drought and 40 years, i guess, potentially putting millions of lives at risk. and while food insecurity seems to be president russo's main concern, his opponents see a larger scheme at play. and they've accused the ruling government of profiting from the approval and becoming dependent on imports. but i should point out 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. alarm

the statements are calculated to instill fear. in this scheme, the worst, the pain, the bigger the gain for the shy locks in government. we spoke with a manual, a tomba coordinator of an organization working 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 we'd have a student problem in this century that we need to use was i think that, you know, there's more of a hyped and what we talk about under benefits. most basically we negatively jim last. that is really no agenda producing gym most yes. so many times like he looks like you have something in the sense that we all are people will be clear that there is no market for your most in this country and where lice pushy,

which was definitely i don't, the lifting, the bottom means that, you know, that you're not really dynamic. and the reason the big thing on the side, so we kind of consume, i will actually make the final decision. so he may have only been at the helm of twitter for just a few days, but ill on mosque has already dubbed himself the platforms complaint hotline operator. it seems perhaps in meetings that a number of changes have already been spotted. for example, those twitter employees who hadn't already been sacked by musk, i've had that moderation tools restricted. also a new ukraine state affiliated media tag has taken its place alongside the existing russia and china ones. and some users, including the republican candidate for ira zone, as governor, have had their accounts on blocked. meanwhile,

some prominent us democrats have expressed outrage of muskets poachers of twitter. a former senior official under obama said the billy and as should be held personally responsible if he allows hate speech on the platform point. i think it's going to be the responsibility of each and every one of us to do what we can to whole de la musk 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 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. when it comes as mosque announced the creation of a content, moderation council to revise to the policies on bonds for expressing certain

opinions is also disbanding. the board of directors and firing staff among those sucked was the very executive who ban donald trump. and on top of all that twitter will also now fact check president biden's statement, so they're going to be busy. we spoke with the host of the conservative daily podcast, jo oldman. he believes musk 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, 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 the good for the us. that would be good for people around the world. to look at the calendar, you'll know it a little more now than a week before midterm elections in the united states. republican governor has lashed out meantime, claiming that much of the media remains fixated on the 2020 election ultimately ignoring the depressing needs of the people. well, just ahead of the crucial mid terms, a new poll revealed around 80 percent of americans quiz to believe the nation is

quote, out of control, with only a 5th thinking the opposite. all in a separate question, only around a 3rd felt things were currently going well. and the former white house press secretary, jen, saki said, democrats, so worried, momentum has shifted towards the republic. people are fearful about where the momentum is going in some of these races. yes, they are very encouraging signs like the record early voting numbers, but numbers in some of the house races are not where they should be. let's get her moral is now and speak with a journalist and political analissa, john about oli. joining us here and archie international are very well welcome to you. so a great to see you today. according to the survey, 8 out of 10 americans believe things are going bad in the countries out of control . you surprised by that? i mean, surely things aren't really that bad are they? i think that's bad and we're not merely talking about the economy here. that's been well discussed. the, the impact of high prices,

inflation on the overall mood in the country. what i want to focus on now is some things like freedom or value liberty. and this is what really has angered and curious, a lot of americans. we've lost, we've lost those freedom. censorship, we see sentient, almost everywhere. okay. most recent acquisition of twitter is a small, small, bright array of hope in the sea of darkness. because as we know all along the big tech plat, everywhere on the big tech platforms, we see censorship really harsh, harsh censorship. and this demoralized american think, where are, where do i live? here is all the time for americans. where do i live? what's one with this country at the end of the day? yes, our pocket books, it's very important. economic issue are very important. but we think of ourselves as exceptional among the nation precisely because of our values, our freedoms, our civil liberties. and guess what? we don't have the money. we haven't had been for

a few years. so that really disturbs americans. and i think that's it. that whole, that you say that's what it's really talking about is non tangible issue of, of our values and freedoms. but you bring up the su, john of civil liberties and freedoms. you talk about big tech censorship. there are people out being people out there who say that, you know, you gotta be careful crossing against the mainstream opinion, the mainstream america, where even be careful telling the truth because you 2 blocks at twitter deletes a facebook band that i wanted to ask you. i mean, biden's current approval ratings of under 45 percent. how's it going to play out at the crucial mid terms? i mean, who's going to have control of congress or john? is it, is it too early yet to predict? the big question is, will we have on the elections? right. that's a big if that's a yes, a huge. and we have to consider the fact that you're ukranian hackers can help the binding administration could help democratic party who's protecting us against these ukrainian hackers. right. who would, who do have an interest in switching the election, turn the election, the events,

the democrats, they want the money train, they want that money train to continue forever or make an enormous amount of money on buying the conflict by the war in ukraine. so i, i'm, unfortunately, i'm more of a pessimist, i don't think we're going to have honest the election. hopefully i'm wrong. now if we do, the republicans do win by a large majority. they do re take at least one house in congress that could significantly alter the landscape in the united states, but only domestically not foreign policy. as i stated before, our foreign policy is set in stone conference with russia. conflict with china. the war industries just to just to break their, their power team and perhaps locally on the local level we could change. we could change things if they can win in large numbers. it's john, i'm really surprised about what you said just a moment ago. you said that one of your biggest concerns, if not your biggest concern is whether or not the election will be honest. i can't

believe we've actually reached that point. how could the election in your view be corrupted? well, you know, the main problem in american society today is that there is no independent oversight. i see this constantly, whether it's at the school level level, local businesses, whether it's our industrial policies are military policies. there's just no independent oversight in american society. so i, myself, i'm a for more of a foreign policy expert. so i don't know how the details of the elections work. what ok as an average american, i want to, i asked the question, here's my question. who is monitoring our election? what independent body is monitoring or election? i don't think there is any, i don't know event. and this is extremely disturbing. i think a lot of a lot of americans agree with john. i've got no more time here, but i'm going to squeeze out one more for you. i want to say that, you know, some people say that when it comes to republicans and democrats, you know,

people get all. busy really worked off about who should choose which side, but many people say it's just 2 sides of the same coin regardless of who wins these upcoming bits of elections. do you expect us foreign policy to remain? status quo will change. yes. know for years for our policy, it's created by elite of people who are above the party politics. they set the policy for many, many years to come. their firmly controls america, foreign policy. nothing will change, no matter what happens with these elections, are joining our own journalist and political analysts joining us live on the program. great to have you with us. appreciate your insight. the rather familiar scene, once again in israel, 5th time in 4 years, dozens of parties are competing in elections without the national parliament. a recent polls suggest the right wing party of the former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is a head, possibly restoring him to the leadership of the liberal party of the current

apartment. if the bead is expected to come in 2nd. now in the background to all of this 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 cast boats. whereas israelis living in those very same areas can come to the un envoy for the palestinian territories, recently slammed israel for quote, subtler colonialism. israeli government, for its part has previously said such remarks had the goal of defaming, an isolating israel by betraying it as a racist entity. also police of cold on israeli settlers who have gun licenses to take that weapons to the polls. that's according to local media reports. earlier they really are made deploy 200 extra troops to the west bank to ensure security palestinian officials claim israel is depriving the palestinian people of well the ability to exercise their rights doesn't have is i e learn 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 estate. so the violence is part of this colonial project anyway, all the time since the establishment of the state of israel, it was based on violence. and today, the violence is even more with the atrocities by these army on the one hand. and the settlers, who are protected by this army, who are also directing 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 aly,

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 as light unless they take action. and nothing will happen on the one hand, most of the european who do know that there's really are very ratings, international law and validity, even the european laws and the human rights flows. but at the same time, they say, or they think that their relationship as their interest with america is more important than the, the rights of the unions. which quite clear like what is a kind of but you know, hypocrisy and doubly stones on the russian defense ministry. is reporting that the command and control centers for ukraine's military have been significantly disrupted as a result of strikes on monday or the attack it targeted,

i should say. control hubs, communication under energy infrastructure. in addition, at the management of ukraine's armed forces on that railway logistics support has been badly disrupted. also that's coming from the russian ministry of defense to the don bass region now, where ukrainian forces have reported launched a missile strike on a residential area of the next city. will show you images basically suggesting what's left of a rocket that hit the roof of a restaurant. as we understand there were no casualties reported. meanwhile, the rebuilding process in the next republic is in full swing with of course the help of the russian government. a correspondent remains on location with more details, its roman cousin, several towns and villages in the nest people's republic have been completely destroyed by ukraine and artillery shelling right now. we're in a town offer vol, navarra. most of the city looks like this. according to the mayor of vol,

navarra, 80 percent of people's houses have been destroyed. now, many russian regions have been fast with rebuilding of the city. now this particular apartment building is being built by she labinski region in russia. and this is just one of many bridges who are working all over the nest people's republic trying to rebuild infrastructure and the lives of the locals, which is the the school who is interested for example, 85 percent of the cities infrastructure was damaged, residential houses and apartments $22.00 houses are listed for demolition with one problem now which is the gas supplying 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

a thing of the past from on call for f r t vulnerable. had the nets for public. yeah, a lot more details about the reconstruction efforts available for you right now on our website r t dot com. we've got some big heavy things. stories that to bring to you. what are your a ton that will be at the top of the hour? hope to see you today. ah, ah ah ah oh, november the 3rd 1945 just a month after the war ended. the u. s. joint chiefs of staff receive report number
