in country since then, the conflict in ukraine is great in deep divisions, all across europe and beyond russia in europe today virtually have no common ground . this may be the case for a very long time, become a democratic republic of congo, a mid claim. the vehicles have been charged voting so it is near the border this is the pit. the very bottom rung of that thriving elicit economy. john is bag is filled with abandoned mind just like this. are the crew in south africa ventures into a colonial era? gold mine currently used by local, desperate to make pins me and

a recent poll says that 80 percent of americans believe that country is quoted out of control. just a week before the political us mid term elections. as the democrats fear, they might lose a dominant in the federal government. ah, hello and welcome to us international workers in law firm, the russian capitalist just got a 9 am local time, and we'll be glad to have you with us. i'm well, i'm on the but take a look at the top stories this out. we saw with protesters in the, as they set fire to the you and truck in the d r n. c, the democratic republic of congo. local say that un peacekeepers vehicles have been used to transport insurgence near the rwandan border. oh, i mean,

i have been a fair fighting between congress government forces and the m 23 insurgent group in the border region. the government believes the militant group is being supported by neighboring roo. wonder. on tuesday, the un mission said it would conduct a strategic withdrawal from an area where the m. 23 has been advancing. is what people on the seats of the eastern city of gama o said about the situation. and i know that to figure out we are asking our president to help us to remove the un mission from here. and the fog. all amount is not able to fight these rebels, give us weapons to fight them. dumb on his phone. i don't know because of his rebels. we have fled our home. that's why we're angry. and we would just burn this un vehicles because the mission is making us suffer. you've got to know who's are thousands of people protested tuesday in the east and verify the republic of congo

the city of gama. denouncing rwanda's aggression and alleged support of the m $23.00 rebels, which will wander denies. the situation in the countries east has worsened in recent months, and on saturday rebels seized control of 2 major towns and double the territory. they hold off the fist fighting with the military. earlier, the d. r c. expelled the rwandan ambassador and also recalled it's top envoy from the country. our katina independent analyst and strategic from gama, says that this situation give the d r. c government. the mandate from military solution. when you look in the congo as a new camera in the east africa community, for instance, the expectation was peaceful every one and posterity for every one. anything can happen any time. the things i understand is that congress interesting news for the

last 20 is congressman tired of that and population of convoys, serious it out, or that. and the leaders of colon political leaders of congo need to give answers to the needs of mission. which ever answer is including military asses, tinker. nothing can be excluded at this level. it's monday to. ready congo leaders to give solutions to the situation, including military, what, which, what is that all these economy. we're all about the resources in congo being taken away by different forces around some a bridge, a by made reports. now on to south africa were a major mining companies. the banyan stillwater set to lay off up to 2000 workers,

citing and company unprofitable business structure, supply and hasn't jeopardize the livelihood of those local miners and has spark concerned that they could continue working in the shaft illegally. but as many desperate locals are already taken to working in unlicensed abandon, the gold mines to provide for their families are these course wandered. carabiner tetra explains. this is the pits. the very bottom rungs of a thriving, illicit economy. join his bag is filled with abandoned mind chefs like this, with tunnels that continue to dot its landscape revealing why it was once known as the city of gold. this out, you see them when i came here to mind gold and i have been doing this for about 5 years. i love my parents back home as well as my wife and my 2 kids. yeah, all the discovery of gold and diamonds, around 1852 brought the full weight of the british empire to south africa,

both militarily and economically, to control the resources and the prophets from his colony. but in the early 20th century, the african national congress was formed to lead a defiance movement against the colonialists. and when more and more black men refused to dig up the earth for colonial companies, the british imported even cheaper labor from south africa's neighbouring countries . a legacy of migration that continues to day, south africa and some of the deepest gold mines in the world up to 5 kilometers down. in some instances, illegal miners like these. i know locally as the amazon amazon, which literally translates to the gamblers as knew of desperate and documented foreign nationals who come down in mind these shops for the little gold left left on the ground dizzy silly series. on wells's,

the tools that we use are chisels and hammers. we also use pans and or to wash up the goals. how did, there are still a lot of calls left under ground shell and we work in dangerous conditions. these men mostly originates from the photo them, bob away and mozambique. men and women continue to stream down to south africa, attracted by the seine minerals and it's a big and coordinated business. but it's also inherently risky and fraught with danger. but who is actually funding these activities? as lot of us, we just sell the gold, the resellers, buy it from us, so we don't work for them. we do this work for ourselves. meaning theft has been around since mining itself. and in some instances, illegal gold miners will pay legitimate gold miners up to $800.00 for the use of the access cards to clock in and out like regular workers. sometimes an entire line of people is paid from security guards all the way to winding engine drivers and

minus. but the costs are far less for band and wayne chefs like these, but they're still fraught with danger. how would, how would i live? is the governor. i'm good dear to see if one of us is injured inside the mine. we help each other. we take him out, take him to hospital, and then visit him there. but around 3 years ago we had 3 fatalities here. all gold has come out of south africa than the rest of the world combined with over a 150 years of tradition. the only human which secondary market for gold in south africa. and it's the 2nd hand jewelers and the bridges that precious metal dealers that i suspected of financing this elicit activity to darrell yoga is the most money i've ever made is about $1200.00. i can send it home and my family can buy the things that they need in true capitalists for when close rose, big mining houses picked up their profits and left they left pits like this

littered. busy all across the province, and they left the little bit of gold. there's left here for these men to fight over . got a bill in charge for oddity in johnny's back. akin the garden in the russian city of domestic has been directly hit by shilling. says the mayor of the city early on to the several residential areas were also reported to hit by missiles launched by ukrainian forces. also were a cafe and a restaurant. the roof of which was severely damaged or seen in these images falsely new casualties were reported. meanwhile, the rebuilding process of the republic is in full swing. with the help of the russian government all sees a roman closer f as more several towns and villages in the nest peoples republic have been completely destroyed by ukraine and artillery. showing 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. 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, and the lives of the locals. richard miller school who was interested, but simple. 85 percent of the city's infrastructure was damaged, residential houses and apartments $22.00 houses are listed for demolition. we have 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 rhodes, construction of brand new apartment buildings shall i. best region is also rebuilding schools and the kindergartens. now this particular kindergarten was nearly destroyed by ukrainian artillery shilling. now it is ready to welcome kids come december. now this is just one of many schools and kindergartners that were destroyed and now completely restored for the kids to attend down as philip m, i have of, and i suffered a direct head to our society and completely demolished all. and ruth, danish restoration to repay, tended to meet her over home. everything was restored, the entire building has been renovated every room. we also have an old building wherein stations are being completed. this is a typical scene for the major part of the city of all nevada. now this is

a future construction site. as you can see, this house has been reduced to rubble by the ukraine and artillery locals. hope that this soon will become a thing of the past from on cost for f. r t vol, nevada ness republic and they exert of an r t documentary about russian would. journalist was shown during a meeting of the un security council, an attempt by russia to highlight the child is that media whose face, while reporting from comfort zones. a upset with this with almost on my, on my career by me. my aunt by your name mason. azelli's lou, you got a new when you money because from where and you know, for things nashville priest heard you was just wishing live the rally. so my cell

is more knowledge of you roses. the should were up sort of life, certainly submerged than predominant. couple. easy as you get further. williams. i sidney at me warned cheers. me. sure. sure. going and you, brittany little sure. you move. i'm with. yep, russell. the zoom out still in our office here with my a similar machine move a couple, approaching me out more throughout the summer with a professional we were sharing with

full version of the documentary currently still in progress is expected to be shown next month will of course be able to watch it on our website. archie dot com with just a little more than a week before the mid term elections in the us republican governor. as last out claiming much of the media remains fixated on the 2020 election. ignoring the pressing needs of the people you are in a bubble if you think anybody is talking about what happened in 2020 or talking about mar lago and all that. i know the press love to talk about it. people are talking about what is happening, their pocketbooks every single day. just ahead of the crucial mid terms. a new poll revealed any 80 percent of americans quiz, believe their nation is out of control with only

a 5th thinking otherwise. former white house press secretary gen sec, he said, democrat, so worried that momentum has shifted tools to republicans. people are fearful about where the momentum is going and some of these races. yes, there are very encouraging signs, like the record early vote numbers, but numbers and some of the house races are not where they should be. i think it's a reflection of the fact that democrats are kind of worried about where this is going right now. and it felt worse over the last week or so. to host steve moles would believe the failure to get a handle on the floor in prices. thing by the, on the reputation of the democrats right now, inflation is out of control prices on just about everything out of control. and you have an administration that is not even admitting it not aiming in admitting that it's a problem in our country, but basically forming it as a world wide problem that is out of the control of this current administration. and

people, people understand, you see, what happened was, is that the democrats put all their eggs in the abortion basket. back in june, the u. s. supreme court overturn roe v wade, which i had given women the right to an abortion. and now they did, the supreme court said it should be up to the states. well, all heck broke loose. and the democrats decided that would be what they would run on. well, abortion has fallen down the list of voter concerns down to about 7th or 10th on the list and what's at the top, the economy, inflation crime. and i don't even think that people are honest with the pollsters. i think that a lot of them are afraid to answer questions and be identified as evil. republicans, don't forget joe biden classified maga republicans as semi fascist. so who in their right mind wants to tell a stranger on the phone? oh yeah, i'm voting republican, so i don't even think that these polls are accurate. i think it's worse for the

democrats. ah, climate change these now with the u. s. climate congress due to saw this leak in the jewish institutional shake, some african nations, all sounding the alarm over. lack of funding to tackle inver environmental challenges. now the coastal crunch of gov on says affluent nations have failed to deliver on their promises. over and over again, develop 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 seen 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 and their engagements. meanwhile, the new british friar mazur, richie seneca palm is trying to save face, as he is said to be reconsidering his previous decision on not attending the u. m. conference in egypt,

vice after he received significant backlash from the international community and his own conservative policy. the u. k. environment secretary, i have tried to dismiss that ridicule by saying it would be quote, just a gathering not a formal summit, but egypt says that 90 heads of state of confirmed their attendance, investigative journalist and co founder old. the insight fact thermo de bit madiba says the false is a play who don't want africa to be prosperous, all substantially developed. it goes bends when we saw gender that the co, 19 pandemic. you know how the exits would make sense. we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're keen issue. you know, i mean african catches a shuddering to get things while the rest of the world reflection today. since i think this is an imbalance when it comes to, to, to, to, to door, to the way i 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 a developed africa is going to cause many problems for the risk and the waste or one that you think erica contributed to that belief meant to the quality of most of the power nation, except for everything we contributed to the economy. of our countries, like france, like it, you know, at the expense of our own african countries. i think the west would love to see epic and develop a like china and russia. you mean? and if you look at that, that, that going presence of russia and china, the continent. it's one of brother would. it's one of help each other. art is one of funding projects that benefit up with budgeting, letting the waste or define budget that they're going to benefit from that can crunch that. and then we make african leaders say 19 year 9 to 9 year uses for them to own those resources. for example, iran will sign a free trade zone agreement with russia let you read an economic union in the very near future that is, according to the russian deputy prime minister we agreed to remove all

a barriers to development between our countries. and we're talking about lowering berries at the border with agree to conclude an agreement on a free trade zone between iran and the eurasian economic union in the near future. the now sun comes also meet seal the permanent russia iran commission on trade in economic corporation. where the russian deputy also knows it a 36 percent increase in trade with ron now up to $3300000000.00. with swapped deliveries between the 2 nations already being put into action. as warmer ties develop between 2 most fashion countries in the world, the e u. countries, the impose the sanctions run me out of partners to supply them with needed fossil fuels as cost. those energy management slammed the european proposal to impose a gas price cap, cooling it, hypocritical,

are going to scare away investment by putting in price caps. free market is always the best solution. so saying, does it have a credit card? it's not a bit, it's a lot of the critical. meanwhile, german government completed defining it's trying to set a price capital of natural gas in order to absorb energy prices and give companies incentive to stay in that country as the energy chief amounts earlier. that cap can be introduced as soon as this winter. if member states agree, the block has been counting on substituting sanction. russian gas with l. n. g from car. this cap, however, contradicts the eas, own free market rules, and may result in losing supplies including cuts are we discuss this issue with seller, our credit media, specialist and writer who says you plans to introduce a gas cap is unfair to gas exporting countries. black check, yet,

i know that deed there is no doubt that setting prices for gas exports during this period of time when europe is experiencing difficulties, is frankly speaking. unfair gas prices are based on supply and demand. so they are not fixed by any decisions or agreements. between any countries be a guitar or russia, or any other exporter. i consider this proposal unacceptable for exporting countries, especially since gases in high demand in europe, amid the shortage and supplies from russia. europe is trying to find a way out whether through price fixing or finding alternative sources to compensate for russian gas. but to be honest, it's impossible. guitar has held numerous meetings at the u. s. asked for gas supplies to europe, and they haven't led to any agreement or not. let's recall the visit of the german chancellor. he put forward proposals for the arrangement of short term gas supplies to germany. with this need of germany in could tar. we still hear the statement of

the german interior minister denigrating guitar in the matter of organizing the world cup. the words he used to not even comply with international diplomacy that guitar does not deserve to host the championship. the guitar does not respect human rights. all the statements have no evidence and the documents refute these words. they had her on court in the hague has decided the resume investigations into afghanistan's wardrobe. disease for a 2 year hiatus, as the prosecutor now says, he won't focus on the u. s. on his nato allies. healing royce warrants, however, have taken issue at the statement saying, all sides must be sufficiently examined. this investigation needs to address serious crimes by all sides and the conflicts including us forces to bring justice even when the most powerful nations involved. the investigation will focus on

afghanistan, taliban government, and the local branch of extremist group islamic state. the lead prosecutor british lawyer cut him con, has said his office would quote, deep prioritize inquiries into us forces and our allies during the 2 decade. oh, you patient i have decided to focus my offices investigations in afghanistan on crimes allegedly committed by the taliban. and his long state course and province, and to de prioritize other aspects of this investigation. the us previously admitted to using internationally condemned phosphorus bombs in our fast on the international criminal court, then said in 2018 that would investigate, alleged us walk warms. but later, this graph of those plans made pressure from washington the u. s. president. at the time donald for went as far as to impose sanctions against some members of the

court. here's what the, then us nationals shooting by the john bolton hacked to say about the controversy. the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies. from i'm just prosecution by this illegitimate court. we will not cooperate with the i c. c. we will provide no assistance to the i c, c. and they certainly will not join the i c, c. we will let the i c, c die on its own. after all, for all intents and purposes, the i, c. c is already dead to us. we heard from abdulla ha wade, a former governor of the afghan sounds of rural provinces says there was no independent investigation of war crimes in afghanistan during the decades when you had forces were in control when the united states forces in

afghanistan and nothing would come that was against the united states in the government and, and a new investigation. was me the games, you know, what, what did it and what did not do. so there is no independent kind of investigation even when we're talking about the i c, c. you know, i hope i c c does a fair investigation. why i say this because we haven't seen them. you know, you're investigating fairly all the cases in all the crimes. you know, committed by anyone. you know, it doesn't matter to speak to who the war and where did he come from. one of the things you know, that always bothered africans, you know, when americans committed war crime in afghanistan. the say, you know, a criminal court or military court in the united states and they will, you will punish them and they will look into this and they will do this and they will do that. but nothing happened. we have always seen that double standard. look at, look at what the of done in iraq, the went to iraq and they said we do have

a weapons of mass destruction. and then there was nothing, no woman's of mass destruction. there was nothing. i mean, he said we will destroy the basis of al qaeda in afghanistan. 21 years 22 years ago . he came to afghanistan and he said, you would destroy, i'll call you then paula one. and we will bring democracy. we are, we are, we are even worse than what we were 22 years ago. was what the of them this is this is this like before i said, you know, this amount of polar new law than is implemented one law for united states and on another level, the rest of the world the us government has been wide me, is control of the major global online platforms under the guise of the supposed campaign to reach out this information. but according to classified state documents, published by the investigative news outlets. the intercept r t. 's, maria, the national as the details. big brother is bigger than you would ever think.

natalie's the american government to watch in its citizens, but it is also censoring them. that's according to a huge story, released by the intercept, whose journalists looked at hundreds of documents and emails, mainly obtained by leagues to show how the department of homeland security or d h. s, and f. b. i have for years been closely collaborating with top social media platforms like twitter and facebook to sensor various kinds of content under the better fighting dis information. the department plans to target inaccurate information on a wide range of topics, including the origins of the coven, 19 pandemic. and the efficacy of coven 19 vaccines, racial justice, the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan and the nature of your support to ukraine. toys are responded saying we do not coordinate with other entities when making content moderation decisions. and we independently evaluate content. a line with

a tweet roles, but the evidence seems to suggest the exact opposite. it's former legal affairs and policy chief am on the 1st to be fired by ellen mosque, met monthly with a da chest. and not only her facebook created a special portal for the government to rapidly request that take down of content, including parody accounts and anti government pandemic policy stuff. but social media is just the tip of the iceberg. the da chesko is to totally control tech dines to like wikipedia or microsoft. here is what is executive a former dia chair. so facial himself texts that the director of the department of homeland security in february, platforms have yet to get more comfortable with governments. it's really to say how hesitant they remain. the calls were for an expensive role of the government's agencies in shaping the information ecosystem. but how this information is defined by the government has never been clearly articulated. the inherently subjective

nature of what constitutes disinformation provides a broad opening for d h. s. officials to make publicly motivated determinations about what constitutes dangerous speech. the d test justifies all that by saying that misinformation can push people to terrorists and but it seems they knew that what they were doing was bad because they hired 3rd party companies to do the research so that it didn't look like government propaganda. subcommittee members discuss designating a point of contact as a clearinghouse for trusted information x and mister hale suggested designating the i sex as a clearinghouse for information to avoid the appearance of government propaganda. but the government's role was hard to sweep on to the carpet as the f b i was deeply involved in the case as documents show miss danilo, the agent of the federal.
