i need to ship a solution with a with i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god, an emotional return loss. going to conduct another prisoner swab this time, exchanging $107.00 captured soldiers from each side. the russian troops have arrived back in their homeland for rehabilitation and treatment. beaten and humiliated don bass soldiers who were freed from ukrainian captivity a few days ago when they were abused, despite efforts by the red cross to assist them with his boot, the officers beat us during interrogations. and just because they felt like it,

they really beat me up when they asked me who's didn't that's it. and i replied that it is, of course, russian hundreds of people and gather outside of hospital and pakistan and to show support for former prime minister and marin khan, who was wounded in this fascination with and her a clear message to brussels, that it will not allow for their nato expansion, until all of its demands are fulfilled with lost out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this hour. we begin with the latest and new crane conflict. moscow in kiev conducted a prisoner swap on thursday, with each side exchanging $107.00 cat for soldiers. those russian troops had now

returned to their home land. now this footage was film to right after the plane carrying the russian soldiers landed at a military air mace in the moscow. regent rushes defense ministry. earlier warned that armed service personnel could face mortal danger and ukrainian captivity. all of those free soldiers will now undergo a rehabilitation carry it in a hospital. in the deal, russia is also released $107.00 ukrainian soldiers. most of them surrendered back in may at the i lost all still plan and mario full and the don us republic. we heard from some of the russian prisoners of war as they arrived in moscow shook good. i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. it's hard for me to talk about it now. well, in this little boy, the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god with my nephew is still being held captive. he's wounded there, but i am living room if there are still men over guys being held that they must be

returned and it's really hard for them to stay them, especially hot on them. mentally. russia and ukraine carried out in neither prisoner exchange 100 than 7 russian military personnel, 65 of whom are from de logan's, and danielle people's republics have been released to day. and some of them just landed at the airport near moscow from where they will be transported to the capital and given all necessary psychological and medical help. ukrainian officials had already confirmed that they received the same number of soldiers in return. to be honest emotions, kara overwhelming. today's b. o. w exchange is the latest in the series of prisoners swaps de la swan, came a den of october and involved the release of a thief to russian and $52.00 ukrainian soldiers, including regular soldiers, national guardsmen, navy personnel, and border guards. and even though these prisoners swaps are sometimes very difficult to achieve its old worth, it in that been insulted and humiliated. that's how other capture,

don. my soldiers had described 7 months of captivity in ukraine as moscow and key at increase their prisoner exchanges. more and more harrowing stories have come to life. archie is roman custer reports. some of the domestic republic soldiers has spent at least 7 months in ukrainian captivity. there they were tortured physically and mentally. finally, they have made their way back home to john esque. i've spoken to some of them and they told me horrific stories of their activity in ukraine. here they are lou, but in the article shown up of linea. we were near harker in the village of alpha, and suddenly ukraine's forces fired a massive artillery barrage than we saw the we were surrounded, but 1st they put us in a hanger. they stripped one of us naked when it was freezing outside, below a chance, thrush them,

but it was very carried. we didn't know what would happen to us when we were in the hangar. near harkell were constantly beaten until their commander came. the relentless dom, bullet, and insulated us. they bid man, the soles of my feet was combat boots, baton rouge la says she jane. but he then we were tied up and taken to kiev to ukraine's main intelligence directorate, where we spent a month and a half in the basement songs. the officers beat us during interrogations. and just because they felt like it, they really beat me up when they asked me who's didn't ask, is it? and i replied that it is, of course, russian tongue. then there was a briefing. they told us where we need to say as they wanted to use us for propaganda purposes. and they told us that we should say that we were young students taken to the front lines, but we were volunteers. we went to defend our mother landscape. then we were transported to pull tava to a pre trial detention center and link rusnick. it has to be did in that, and i get we saw the red cross for the 1st time and pull tower. it was impossible to talk confidentially because ukrainians were sitting behind the wall. you could

hear everything. and before that, the administration approached us and told us not to tell much, otherwise we would pay for it. so all of ukraine's defeats on the frontlines when the political front affected us, they would threaten us in a heartbeat. they said garbage, that the world doesn't need us, that they could just shoot all of us. they even intended to car was set in to us. one of our soldiers had his teeth knocked out, and other one wanted them to simply kill him because they were tormenting him so much. authorities in the dynamic republic say 2 civilians were wounded on thursday in ukrainian artillery attacks that use nato caliber shells. the regional capital, as well as 2 other major cities were target at several explosions were also report it and russia zapper share region and across the border in ukraine. air raid alerts were also declared in central ukraine, including the national capital of kiev. oh,

hundreds of supporters of pakistan's, former prime minister, and moran con, have gathered outside a hospital to show support for him after he survived. an assassination attempt con, was transferred to the facility in pakistan, 2nd largest city of or after being shot twice during a protest, march the former pm who was ousted earlier this year in which he describes as a u. s. back who has been rallying supporters throughout the country as he tries to return to power con, suffered to gunshot wounds in the leg during the attack and the north eastern city of was easier about the following footage. shows that exact moment and just a warning. it contains disturbing images. wow. this inspected gunman has reportedly confess saying he acted alone. however, it's unclear whether his statement was forced. con, had been leaving

a protest march to the capital of islam about with a demand for new elections. local media footage has shown the 7 year old with a bandage leg as he was moved to a vehicle with the help of the security team. and the aftermath of the attack. thousands of con supporters have taken to the streets and cities throughout the country. flames and smoke could be seen as protesters burn, tires and other objects. while speaking out against the current government. supporters say they are fully behind enron, khan, and are even ready to sacrifice their lives to support him or a leather lessons up with them. we prefer m. ron cons. healthy done. we can sacrifice our lives for him. our blood is for him. ron conley, let me say that a tough time for this government has begun that we will overthrow them ada longabaugh user. don't know, elena, we're not afraid of these cheat tactics. we are ready to die for alita him run car in our country at the home sub, or i'm at look as an, as a nation, so we all standing with him run, come, we appreciate the way him run carn is leading the nation and giving awareness

straight to him, yes. and so we are standing in front of the ciocca planner memorial hospital. this is a cancer hospital. hemlock con, built this hospital for the poor people with donations for the day and now today is inside in their dorm taking grass. he says dave are successful and we have seen tears. we have seen flowers. we have seen anger. and we have st paper that in the, from the at heart, and they're praying for him. and we hope the next morning it relies, again as a father of the nation. like been many people say, he's just like a father of these young generation of pakistan. her kia has doubled down its demands in sweden and finland must actually i had suspected terrorists and those nordic nations want to join me now. that's the nasa

from the top turkish diplomat and assemble despite his hands by the alliance is chief to secure those countries. accession to the block, it is clear that finn and sweden have delivered on the memorandum and are committed to the long term partnership with sir kia memorandum dollar to move. it cannot be said that all points of the memorandum were fully implemented by these 2 countries . our goal is not to prevent nato expansion. our goal is for these 2 countries to take important steps in the fight against terrorism, because one of the biggest threats nato faces today is precisely terrorism and car out one spend one and 3, then to comply with the turkish extradition request, as well as adjust their legal definitions of terrorism and reverse a ban. on exporting certain military equipment, if sweden and finland joined nato, it would comprise 32 countries. russia has long spoken out against nato's expansion

as a direct threat to national security. ukraine has also launched a bid to try to become a member of the western military alliance. native states have been providing military aid to crane, but of so far declined to say whether it could join the block nato. she is stolen. bert insist on expanding the alliance, especially amid the current russian military campaign. these dangerous times, it is even more important to finalize their accession to prevent any misunderstanding or miscalculation in moscow. and to send a clear message or to show that need to door remains open. sarah, while nurse current director of the international action center says that the nato chiefs demand show the alliance is not some kind of democratic organization. sultan burg is making demands on turkey, which are it's inappropriate in every way. every country must agree

to the expansion of who was a member of nato, now must agree to its expansion and turkey and hungry. neither want this expansion and they realize that it is a danger that the, that the alliance becomes ever more aggressive. and ever more, it expands the pressure, put on every member of nato to follow through on plans that they have no part in making. this is a u. s. commanded military alliance. it's not a democratic association by any means at all. the u. s. has shown that whether you're an official member or not, you can be entirely ensnared within nato. and this is ukraine is the best example of that. ah,

the british central maine has raised a lars of the country could be facing is the longest recession in history. when asked how close the u. k is to quote financial arm again and the central banks chief did not have an optimistic view. we're seeing some huge shops to the economy . one moment i'm and that is afraid feature of the last 2 and a half years or so. now, how close did we come to financial home? again, we certainly reached a point where markets with are unstable and these are cool more consistent in the government bond market, which is really what is the most core of all if you like. the british central bank has raised interest rates to their highest and more than 3 decades. the regulator ship has warned of quote, a tough road ahead for u. k. households, as people are finding it more difficult to get a job,

the u. s. economy has also been ranked by dismal predictions, as numerous stock prices have tumble today via phone c raised our policy interest rate by 75 basis points. and we continue to anticipate that ongoing increases will be appropriate and the recent inflation did it again have come in higher than expected. despite elevated inflation, longer term inflation expectations appear to remain well anchored as reflected in a broad range of surveys of households. businesses and forecasters as well as measures from financial markets, but that is not grounds for complacency. the longer the current out of high inflation continues, the greater the chance that expectations of higher inflation will become entrenched us price inflation has been continuing to rise reaching 8.2 percent in september. as the national cost of living has also served past 6 percent. at the same time, the housing market has declined as 30 year mortgage rate have climbed to over 7

percent. so to discuss this further, it was cross live now to us political and market analysts, tom longo. thomas, have you on the program today? now we know that the vitamin ministration has been trying to dismiss concerns about a recession in the us. while at the same time the u. k. is now saying there could be the countries longest recession ever. how do you view those 2 responses? and specifically, where these 2 countries are headed. well, it's clear that we're in a phase of costs push inflation. that's where we have a shortage of price of goods that are being chased by more money. and the fed is doing the appropriate thing by trying to pull back on my supply in order to try and tame inflation from that perspective. but it's not really going to work that way. that's more of a demand side tool. so there's no way to get around inflation. the fed has to raise

interest rates in order to maintain its credibility more so than actually tammy inflation and tame to be placed. now a structural and this is going to last until it's worked itself out and more, and the best thing the by the administration could do to actually came, inflation would be to start deregulating l, allowing the economy to deal with and get rid of some of the supply side pressures that we're dealing with, for example, the buy, the well documented diesel fuel shortage. we're going through going through right now that has everything to do with a lack of refinery capacity and, and, and whatnot. so this is not going to moderate, but power. i think is doing the right thing here. now, whether he's doing it to tame inflation or whether he's doing it for other unstated reasons, is a very good question. that's one that i brought up in multiple forms. and i want to be ready to consider that there's another angle to this, but in as far as the official story is concerned, powell is at war with the biden administration desire to spend money,

and he's raising interest rates to put the force, the u. s. the new incoming congress after the mid terms next week, onto a more sustainable fiscal path, saying look, you're, if you're going to spend money like drunken sailors, you're going to do so much higher costs of capital, right. and that's really interesting that you bring at those other reasons because, you know, looking at someone like your own, how he sat there and insisted that inflation would be transitory for months. and, you know, you had all of these experiences. they're saying, well, now that doesn't seem to be the case, we're looking at all of these different factors. and of yes, you see power kind of transitioning from the trump administration to the biden administration. obviously wanting to make sure that he's in good standing with his position. but why do you see him now making the moves that he's making right now in this time? and as you mentioned, i mean, do those mid term elections have anything to do with it? when it comes to the timing, well i think we have to understand the way powell message,

step inflation last year. we have to go back to the precarious position he was in. remember, last year he was up for reappointment for a 2nd term, and the by the administration held that over his have sort of damocles. he should have been reconfirm for a 2nd term in october. and it didn't happen until march of this year. and then notice how once he was finally reconfirmed for a 2nd tour of duty, that's when he started to raise the interest rates. and before that, he, there was nothing he could do other than say, other than go along with the political wins in washington, which were clearly an anti inflationary bias because that's who had control over the political strings. and then once those, once he was free of those political strings and i don't want to get into what i, what i think is going on there, that that's a much more complicated story being behind the scenes. but just know, understand that once he was free of that political pressure, then he was free to do what he always wanted to do, which was a raise interest rates and relatively remember, power was never on board with the cares act and 0 bound interest rate going back to

the 0 bound during cove, it that was done by trump and done by congress and instead was forced to go there because of the spending this time without bill back that or without the infrastructure bill really going through in the original form of health and power to do what he's doing right now, and he's taking that opportunity and running with i think appropriately. well, speaking of that power, i mean, we see kind of this common trend with the u. s. and also with this allies in europe, you know, looking at the u. k, looking at other major economies that are also dealing with very serious inflation and dealing with the same issues with the united states is. so gina, see those other countries kind of falling powerfully, but at the same time, what do you see being the aftermath of that? especially as we go along in the next few months, really get into winter where some of those energy prices especially start to skyrocket, even more. well, when i, when i think is going on here,

is i think there's a very definite disconnect between what the europeans want and what the bank of england wants and what the reserve wants. i don't think they're on the same page. i think jerome pals made this abundantly clear that christine in the garden, e. c. b are all in for climate change are all in for ending the hydrocarbon economy . and jerome pals made it abundantly fair that he's not interested in, not at all. he told christina, regard this last last june and nothing has changed and nothing has changed from his policy statement. he gives, let service to climate change every once in a while just to satisfy some. this is satisfy the, the harpies on capital hill. but for the most part, there's a fundamental disconnect going on and the pals doing what he thinks is best for the united states. and he's going to let the chips fall where they may around the rest of the world. and that includes quote, unquote, our allies in europe. so i think that that you have to see it from that lens because i think our allies in europe, i've gotten very used to the fed coming to their rescue whenever their banking

system gets in trouble. and there are good technical reasons why that that always has been, and those old technical reasons are no longer there. remember, the united states is no longer bound by live or the united states is, is, is induction differently now. and that the coupling of interest rates, interest rate indexing, actually has power, lot more room to, to execute monetary policy independent of the needs of european banks, of japanese banks of swiss banks of the english banks and whatnot. so this is a new era, it's a different, it's a different world than we've seen in the past. and had it is now when it comes to sort of that disconnect in terms of some of the policies that are implemented and then the effects of those policies, which a lot of times it seems like the u. s. government doesn't really pay attention to at least not publicly. do you see the buying and ministration changing its approach, whether it's sanctions and, or even some of those supply demand sort of things. you're shaking your head now.

you think that they're going to stick right along the same path? yes, i think they're absolutely. i think, biden and the fed gigabyte administration and the federal reserve or war. quite, quite frank. i think janet ellen at the treasury and your own pow or not on speaking terms. i will make this abundant. i've made this abundantly clear and other forms, and i think every day we get more and more and more data supporting this idea. the alan is talking about doing yield curve control outside of the purview of the fed to the us treasury. this is unprecedented. he's talking about trying to implement capsule and russian oil by demonstration is in met. and what i see is a, an administration going lock step with the european push for a no hydro carbon future. jerome powell and the new york money center bags lead by j. p. morgan, goldman sachs and others are all saying we need one that's an oil de invest in oil

. there's a lot of this going on, and i think that those are clues as to what's actually going on capital hill. this is unprecedented in the history of the united states, i think, and it's, it's on history. it's unprecedented in the history of really us european policy. and i think we have to really begin to take this seriously. because when i 1st started thinking about this over a year ago, i was just kind of spitballing now on a year and a half into this watching. that's going to look. it's a it laying out exactly the way i thought it our way. i even feared of it or hoped it was because i think it for the united states in the long run, in order to neuter this, an incredibly aggressive foreign policy and the incredibly stupid domestic policy that we've seen from the democrats. and i'm the republican, my mind, you remember? i'm for the most part politically agnostic. i just think these people are vandals and they need to be neutered. and the best way to new to them is to take their, their part, take away the punch ball at the party, take away the money, raise the cost of capital,

and force them artificial discipline. and i think that that message is going to be received has been received loud and clear by the american people. they're going to vote for it on tuesday and we'll see if their votes will be allowed to be expressed . since we all know that at this point, you know, american elections are kind of, well, travel much, let's put it that way. so he will certainly see, we'll certainly continue to follow it and we'll have you back on to talk about it. you as political and market analysts, tom longo, thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. you as president joe biden has urged the nation to vote democrat and the upcoming mid term elections because quote, democracy is at stake or something else. a state democracy itself. i'm not the only one who sees it. recent polls have shown overwhelming majority of americans believe our democracy. it really is at risk that her mocker

sees under trick. they to see that democracy is on the ballot this year and they're deeply concerned about it. so today i appeal to all americans, regardless of party, to meet this moment of national and generational importance. we must vote knowing what to stake and not just the policy of the moment. but paul suggests that american voters are more concerned about other issues with the majority expressing a need to address the economy and surging price inflation. 15 percent said abortion rights have been a major issue with voting rights. immigration and climate change. also noted, we heard from political analyst garland nixon who says the by an administration is not properly addressing the concerns of the american voters as the biden administration. or i'll use the words that they use as the biden regime does everything they can to squash democracy in the united states. they're arguing that

democracy is at stake. i would argue it is a state, but it's not at stake in the midterms. it has been taken over by a handful of oligarchy that are actual puppet teeters that controlled by the administration by the military industrial complex by the banks in america. so as joe biden argues that democracy is at stake, he is one of the people that is steering this monstrous machine. biden has 4 years pushed policies that created an economic disaster in this country. and he dare not speak of the economic disaster because people will recognize quickly that he is one of the authors of this particular horrific chapter in american history. when we talk about joe biden promises, we have to understand that it's nothing but prattle is nothing but air. joe biden and his administration does not in any way connect the things that they say the arguments are the promises they make to the reality and the practical application of their policies. one,

the only one need only look at the iran nuclear agreement to understand that very quickly. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our teen dot com to keep up with all the latest breaking news. and now days we'll see right back here at the top of the hour a i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, accept where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification, we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously, is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with

a robot most protective own existence with a with

ah, ah, is 2 days we love in this country its cache and freedom. but anybody, it's ever been poor here can tell you that in america, if you got no cash, got no freedom, shackle jackal. do a job that explored you shackled to get interest, right? this apps you dry shackled to medical bills for ailments, so old they could have their own student loans, their default. they know it's an oppressive in this heartening state of affairs. that leaves people doing whatever like a and just described by because they don't have any other choice and that's not

freedom. but a universal basic income can give you free lots of free freedom to go back to school, to learn new skills for them to take care of and aging parents. the freedom to start a small business to freedom, to leave an abusive relationship, the freedom to just not have to worry about money. every single 2nd of every day. ah . warming up until literally last 2 years. and my live lives been like one emergency situation away from complete financial catastrophe. basically, i just live in paycheck to paycheck, not having any extra money for any thing at all. and you know, things happen. my name is tre.
