i just will go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. and just like virtue of your being here. ah, and 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 moscow into yet dr. another prisoner swap. this time, exchanging $107.00 capture clovers from each side of the russian troops described the views they witnessed in captivity. those 3 months were living help the forest disabled soldiers, no legs to do, sit ups. i saw some guys, children show their legs. they were swollen from beating hundreds of people gather outside a hospital in pakistan to show support

mosque out of the world. this is our to international. i'm rachel robins, and these are the top stories this hour. we begin with the latest in the ukraine conflict, moscow and he had conducted a prisoner swamp on thursday with each side exchanging 107 captured soldiers. those russian troops had now returned to their homeland. this footage was filled to right after the plane carrying the russian soldiers landed at a military air base in the moscow region. russia defense ministry earlier warned that arm 1st and now could face mortal danger in ukrainian captivity. all of those free soldiers will now undergo a rehabilitation period in the hospital. in the deal, russia has also released 107 ukrainian soldiers. most of them surrendered back in may at the ass off stall, steel plant, and mar, you pull in the doughnuts for public. upon returning home, some of the russian prisoners of war describe the oars. they say they experienced

falling captivity. miss lou will eliminate those 3 months. we're living hell, i don't want any one else to go through. this one is worth of work or 30 but he she daily in wiley the be the forest disabled soldiers, but no legs to do sit down. so there was a gym and key if used by the ukrainian secured to service men. a russian soldiers were kept there, but not every one managed to leave it alive. they were interrogated under torture. they were lying there blindfolded. some were been beaten to death, though there was learning as we were waiting for this moment for a long time. we didn't know what would happen to us while we were there. we were made to walk into cold for about 16 hours with all the shirts and light trousers and flip flops on. i saw some guys jailed and live off show their legs. they were swollen from beatings. they could be beaten for any move scene is wrong for we were told that we would be jailed once we get home there. russia had forgotten us and wouldn't help us that we were just scums come up. we are forced to learn and sing

their nationalist songs and anthem's their prayers. they wouldn't let us eat until we agree to sing. but anyway, you can hear from nick with this as a 2nd. such swap a turn ration ukraine in the last 5 days, r t said via nunez, sent as this report. as a free russian soldiers arrived back in their homeland and an air base and mos gary gen. russia and ukraine carried out another prisoner exchange, $107.00, the russian military personnel, $65.00 of whom are from de logan's and donate peoples republics. have been released today. 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 have already confirmed that they received the same number of soldiers in return. to be honest emotions, kara overwhelming. she'll go a good. i'm still shocked. i can't believe this is really happening. it's hard for me to talk about it now. you of those little brother,

the more the main thing is that we finally returned home. thank god, with my nephew is still being held captive though. he's wounded there. i've come to the airport to meet my son. i'm here with my daughter in law. we were very worried and scared for him. i still feel that fear today's feel w exchange is the latest in the series of prisoner swaps. the last one came at the end of october and involved the release of a thief to russian and $52.00 ukranian soldiers, including regular soldiers, national guardsmen, navy personnel, and border guards. and even though this prisoner swaps are sometimes very difficult to achieve its old worth it in that beaten insult and humiliated, that's how they are captured. don mass soldiers had described 7 months of captivity in ukraine as moscow in key at increase their prisoner exchanges. more and more harrowing stories have come to light artes wrong and coaster out for a ports. some of the de nest republic soldiers has spent at least 7 months in

ukrainian captivity there, there 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 captivity in ukraine. here they are. lou negotiable napoleon, you. we were near harker for in the village of alpha, and suddenly ukraine's forces fired a massive artillery barrage. then we saw that we were surrounded. first they put us in a hanger. they stripped one of us naked when it was freezing outside willow, a chance thrash them into various carried. we didn't know what would happen to us when we were in the hanger. ne harko were constantly beaten until their commander came. the relentless dom bullet and insulted us. they beat me on the soles of my feet was combat boots, but almost as a she jane. but he then we were tied up and taken to kiev,

ukraine's main intelligence directorate, where we spent a month and a half in the basement stones. the officers beat us during interrogations, and just because they felt like it, oh, 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 what 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. i'm like 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 all. 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 and the political front affected us and they would threaten us in a heartbeat. they said, well, garbage, that the world doesn't need us,

that they could just shoot all of us. they even intended to carver, sat into us. one of our soldiers had his teeth knocked out. now the one wanted them to simply kill him because there were tormenting him so much. authorities in the next republic say 2 civilians wounded on thursday and ukrainian artillery attacks that use nato caliber shells. the regional capital as well as 2 other major cities were targeted. several explosions were also reported in russia's oper, she region, and across the border in ukraine. oh hunter is of supporters of pakistan's, former prime minister in moran con, have gathered outside a hospital to show support for him. after he survived in assassination, attend. con was transferred to the facility in pakistan's 2nd largest city of law, or after being shot twice during a protest march, the former viet who has ousted earlier this year in which he describes as a us back who has been rallying supporters throughout the country. as he tries to

return to power con, suffer to gunshot wounds and the leg during the attack and the north eastern city of with 0 bad. the following footage shows that exact moment and just a warning, it contains disturbing images. ah, those inspected gunmen has reported wakened bass, saying he acted alone. however, it's unclear whether his statement was forced. con, had been leading a protest march to the capital of islam and bad with a demand for new elections. local media footage charge shown the 7 year old with a bandage leg as he was moved to a vehicle with the help of the security team. in the aftermath of the attack, thousands of con supporters have taken industries in cities throughout the country . flames and snow could be singing as protesters burn, tires and other objects. while speaking out against the current government.

supporters say they are fully behind and run con and are even ready to sacrifice their lives to support him. or to leather lessons up with them, we prefer m. ron cons healthy. john, we can sacrifice our lives for him. our blood is for iraq. con the all. let me say that a tough time for this government has begun that we will overthrow them data and language user don't know well and then we're not afraid of these cheated tactics. we are ready to die for alita in run con, in our country, at the home, sub, or mac, look as a, as a nation. so we all standing him run con. we appreciate the way him run. con is leading the nation and giving awareness straight to him. we are standing in front of the ciocca promise memorial hospital. this is a cancer hospital. amazon. com. but this hospital for the board of people with the donation. yeah. the guy now today, he's inside a little room, taking the rest. he says dave are successful and we have seen tears. we have seen

flowers. we have seen anger, and we have st paper, 15 deep from be at heart and dead waiting for him. and we hope the next morning it relies, again as a father of the nation. like by many people say, he's just like a father of these young generation of park is found not enough democracy. that's how washington explain why have excluded the struggling west african nation and burkina faso from an extensive economic development plan for the continent. i have made this decision because i have determined that the government of burkina faso hasn't established or made continued progress towards establishing respect for the rule of law and political pluralism. burkina faso has been racked by a devastating g harless insurgency. in recent years,

with the country's defense minister, even calling on civilians to help the national security forces battle against the extremist forces and estimated 2000000 people have been displaced by the continuous fighting local say they need a helping hand to survive and it most likely won't come from the west way and if you look at someone but now yeah, see for a long time we have been partnering with western countries, especially the u. s. and france. but terrorism has been growing. so i think it will be smarter to look for other partners. not because we hate americans. they might also not blame us for our choices. we are under the pressure of terrorists, and we do have a right to choose who we want to work with as volcano bandwidth africa upset of went curious to know if they knew general leaders, it would follow the steps of to be going to molly the us secretary of state for political, for fed that will cannot be made the decision not to deal with the wash and

private secret group that she completed her mind by saying that the choice of a michael was a bad was in terms of security. if you'll wait, that will cannot be not called your fleet shedding on the ground. every thing is that it made a j. c. and cup to you by him. saudi has called population to drive it all. we all, we, international military assistance population have eyes up all wash and threw up to say 2 years of military phase of frame to help countries and up to 6 to 2 years of process for us to say to all program for comfort. and the situation is i'm getting better now. vision of need issues. so you need anybody's, we had was neither. that's house on the issue. so now i can

see if yes, any position to find a solution for that. otherwise i can see who you can come here to help us. thank you. i think personally i think is welcome the united states that it can have raja, i think that would be more reason turkey has dump them down as demands in sweden and finland must extradited, suspected terrorists as those nordic nations want to join nato. that's the message from the top turkish diplomat and symbol. despite attempts by the alliance is chief to secure those countries, accession to the block. it is clear that finland and sweden have delivered on the

memo on them and are committed to the long term partnership with sir kia, who memorandum dollars 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 linens, sweden to comply with the turkish extradition requests, as well as the just their legal definitions of terrorism and reverse of ban. on exporting certain military equipment, if sweden and finland join nato, it would comprise 32 countries. moscow, how long spoken out against the expansion of the alliance as a direct threat to war? russia national sovereignty saying the block has broken his promises not to expand further east, but well laid out. how long denied, posing a danger to moscow,

the alliance's chief stolen burg now, and this is all about sending a clear message to russia 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 a shot that need to the door remains open. sarah wanders, co director, the international action center says the native chief demands show the alliance is not some kind of democratic organization stolen. berg is making demands on turkey, which are it's inappropriate in every way. every country must agree to the expansion, who is a member of nato, now must agree to its expansion and turkey and hungry. neither one, 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, of 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, south korea says it's northern rival has failed. unintended launch of a powerful intercontinental ballistic missile. that's after north korea has fired about 2 dozen short range missiles. i'm in mounting tensions on the peninsula. one

of those missiles crossed the maritime border between the jew careers for the 1st time in 7 decades since the devastating korean war in the early 19 fifties, north korea, those tensions have escalated to an alarming extent. the situation in the korean peninsula in its vicinity has entered the serious confrontation phase of power for power again, due to the ceaseless and reckless military moves of the us and south korea. north korea has expressed concerns about the south conducting large scale military exercises with us forces washington and c. o. have shrugged off a statement saying the drills will be extended until saturday. we heard from former u. s. army officers, not bennett, speculated about the true purpose of the american military presence on the korean peninsula. the purposes of the south korea drills is simply to psychologically pressure north korea into backing away and being in

a state of fear against the united states. so no doubt the united states has ordered south korea to engage in these drills as a demonstration of muscle flexing and power in the hopes that north korea will tremble and back down. so it's more political posturing. the biden presidency has become much more militant and i would say mentally on the hinge because donald trump and his presidency had developed very positive ties. but north korea. and indeed, it was seeking to create an arrangement where north korea in the united states would at last pull out of the 30 parallel, perhaps reunite the korea's that was the hope of the american people. and donald trump, joe biden is shattered that with his reckless war mongering and his attempt to bully north korea and bully china into submission, which shows

a very poor understanding of the asian mind. but again, we also see the poor understanding of the by did administration by waging a similar proxy work to contain russia. so this is the administration that is out of control, mentally unhinged and sorely inexperienced when it comes to foreign policy. the british central bank has raised alarms of the country could be facing as long as for session in history. when asked how close the u. k is to quote, financial arm again. the central banks chief did not have an optimistic view. we're seeing some huge shops to the economy. the moment some of that is afraid feature of the last 2 and a half years will. so now how close did we come to financial home again where we saw the rich to point where markets with our own stable,

that is with coma because this is the government bombed market, which was, and money was the most core of all, if you like the warning came as the british central bank has raised interest rates to their highest level and more than 3 decades. the regulator shapes so the nation faces a, quote ta for our to had. as many people wind that more difficult to get a job at the same time, u. s. markers are also facing new challenges. hearing a press conference by the chief of the u. s. federal reserve in which he announced another rate hike us stalks began to talk. today via pharmacy raised our policy interest rate by $75.00 basis points, and we continue to anticipate that ongoing increases will be appropriate in 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 balance of high inflation continues, the greater the chance that expectations of higher inflation will become entrenched . continuous hiking rates are expected to rise according to the u. s. fed chief u. s. pres. inflation is also surging. having reached a point 2 percent in september, as the national cost of living has also climb past 6 percent. at the same time, the housing market has decline as 30 year mortgage rates have shot up to over 7 percent us political and market analysts. ta longo says america is doing when it can to save its own economy, no matter the consequences for it europe in allies. there's no way to get around the inflation. i think there's a very definite disconnect between what the europeans want and what the bank of england wants to look. the older ones. i don't think they're on the same page. i think jerome pals made this abundantly clear that christina garden, easy be,

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, not at all. a told christina will guard this last last june and nothing has changed and nothing has changed from his policy statement. it gives lip 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 powers 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. you as president irvine and says americans are overwhelmingly concerned about the state of us democracy as he is seemingly shows no regard for the ongoing economic turbulence. well, he encourages people to go out and vote for something else. the stake, democracy itself. i'm not the only one who sees it. recent polls have shown an

overwhelming majority of americans. believe our democracy at rit is at risk that our democracies 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 stay can not just the policy of the moment. bob paul suggests that american voters are more concerned about other issues with the majority expressing and 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 analysts, girl and nixon, who says abiding and ministration is not properly addressing the concerns of

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, it 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 slide and has for years pushed policies that created an economic disaster in this country. and he dared 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, by 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 in the practical application of their policies. one, 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, the cable with all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at the top of the hour. ah, only 41 percent of usaa does have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. in america, we do have a welfare system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's

a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help . the simplest way, like explain a basic incomes, is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payment that would go to every $1.00. there's a $1000.00 a month, no strings attached, i have out. i will like them nice. i don't know. i just won't go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it and just that virtue of your being here ah, everything has changed. and one of the elements of this picture is the desperate, the attack of the west, or counter a check to stop the duration of their positions. they decided to concentrate on russia. and their real aim is, of course,

saving their 500 years of their domination. and the mid intermediate, a based on demand china. now a bunch of domains, china, they have to the 1st to take out rush. mm ah . with hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle with only days before america's mid term elections. everything seems to be breaking in the direction of the republicans. this would seem to confirm this will truly be a change election and a solid defeat for joe biden. and the democrats, the country is deeply divided while these elections make things worse.

with cross sucking the upcoming mid terms. i'm joined by my guess, jennifer braden and milwaukee. she's an attorney in cleveland. we have dentist who sandwich. he is a former presidential candidate and former congressman and in las vegas, we crossed at craig policy jer, duleigh. he is an election integrity expert and co host of am. wake up and the convo couch or cross sock rules and effect. that means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate dennis. well, let me go to you and cleveland. you're an old hand. this is not your 1st rodeo, obviously here. how do you see this? i mean, you can look at this as a realignment or just a reaction election, or a lot of other people like to call it a change election. how do you read the tea leaves? i think, you know, if i were to be asked to give some numbers, i think the republicans will probably end up with 229 seats in the house. so the

democrats jordan checks. i think the senate will also go to the republicans, could be as much as $50.00 to $48.00. there is a, there's been a move towards republicans in this election, principally because of inflation. their cost of basic foods, goods, and good to going up and people are finding it hard to reconcile with the party in power and a 1st crime in the cities. another tractor show, i think you're going to see initial election from the, from the federal level to the state and even the county level a move towards republic. and it's pretty, it's the state and i don't see anything. it's going to change that in the next few days. you know, jennifer again, is this a rejection of the party in power? or is it the appeal of republican ideas? because, you know, if you watch cable tv, you can find whatever you want to confirm what you.
