ah, a western countries pin hopes all the cop 27 climate conference to reduce the use of fossil fuels. congo is residents on their alarm that the western green agenda comes at africa expense bushes. western countries came here with promises of changing our life. but this is not what is happening on the ground with us. do men and women benefit from the minerals and other countries when our husbands are dying? no one cares about our situation. strengthening ties as both show 43 percent of indians consider russia to be new delhi is most reliable partner. india is foreign

minister. is that to visit moscow to further strengthen bilateral ties between the states. a thank you for your heroism and for the record that you have shown, western media is full of praise for a member of ukraine's far right. as all battalion, despite his post glorifying naziism on social media with from lost out of the world. this is our to international. i'm rachel blevins and these are the top stories this hour. we must act now. that's the message which has a wood up egyptian pyramids ahead of the united nations climate change conference opening ceremony. the spectacle though, has triggered a backlash online with questions raised over just how green it really is.

one, a waste of money should have done it on zoom. all those flights, hotels, catering lighting, a pyramid could power and feed a small african nation waste. how much energy was wasted lightning? it's an unnecessary light show. seems like an odd choice to tackle climate change. the conference opened with the aim of ensuring the full implementation of the paris agreement. the main goal being reduction of fossil fuel use you will makers recently agreed to ban the sale of new fossil fuel cards by 2035 and switch to battery powered electric vehicles. 6 however, the democratic republic of the congo is now sounding the alarm. see the d. r. c is the world's largest producer of cobalt a key component for electric car batteries. most of the mines are owned by foreign countries. the sector widely uses small scale mining where dangerous working conditions, arc and corruption are rampant. more than 40000 children worked in non regulated

minds and hazardous conditions. many congo leaves workers feel robbed by western countries which make huge profits from the industry. one and for one, but my husband died while working in the mine and the mining company hasn't given anything, not even an order to help out often, children, i cannot even afford for them to eat properly. there's no way to send them to school. do men and women benefit from the minerals and other countries when our husbands are dying because of bad conditions due to the lack of proper jobs in the big mining companies? no one cares about our situation. western countries should do more to change our situation because they're getting too much from our minerals here. social, no western mining companies are working on our land boundaries came here with promises of changing our life. my giving a good job us, but this is not what is happening on the ground with us beside staking our lands

for a low price, but we don't have jobs and we remain bored. and now they are even forcing us to leave our own lands. we can not accept this at all. batteries now account for over half of global cobalt consumption. electric vehicle batteries require around $120000.00 tons of the metal per year. and electric vehicle sales are predicted to increased tenfold in the coming decades. independent analysts architect, jake says that african countries need to change their mindset and reap benefits from their own resources. buyers tend to put the rules on the table, but that's way african countries that understanding that if you process and transform locally, you not in rush to sell your product for survival. that's exactly what's going to pull the balance between these 2 with them. with some countries and africa, african convent classical are trying to localize the edition in africa as far as we will use to. so wrote back,

especially we were just actually wasting the value and the money of the continent. and now the process is being changed a little bit, and the intention is to use more and more local direct to go on. i and a jade and trying to localize jobs and investments. and the additional locally made russia has become india's top oil supplier overtaken conventional leaders like saudi arabia and, or rock. these figures emerge amid the upcoming visit of the indian foreign minister to moscow on monday for talks with his russian counterpart. now, as it comes amid growing ties between moscow and new delhi, recent polls show the majority of india's citizens. consider russia to be the country's most reliable partner agreeing that defense relations with moscow are vital for the country. respondents also said the bricks group of states,

which includes india and russia, is the most beneficial platform for realizing the country's global interests. artes render and sharma brings us more details. tindale's foreign minister tells wizard to moscow could not have come at a more important time with the world grappling with major food and energy crisis. doctor s j shanker studio trip is aimed at expanding cooperation between the 2 nations during a period of whilst global challenges. energy will be a major focus off this trip, especially since the g 7 has conform plans on pushing for the price cap on russian oil. the groups move is aimed at cutting rushes revenue, but could potentially hurt in del supplies. that's because where sanctions against russia left deprived a russian energy while other countries including india expanded their trade with moscow. russia has now so passed in dallas, traditional dominance suppliers,

saudi arabia and iraq as the chief supplier of its oil. so any conversations around energy security between new delhi and moscow are becoming increasingly more and more important. despite specials from the west. india bought a phenomenal 9 lack 46000 barrels of russian crude birdie in october. it's highest ever monthly total. i don't think it will be, it will be willing to look at its energy relationship with russia, particularly as it, as it is so important for india, political economy and the needs. and it is so important for the yes, common man and woman of where they would like to have a oil and gas at reasonable prices. but moscow and new delhi share more than just oil, both a brick spot nor, and beyond economic and cultural partnerships. they share a long history of defense corporation as indian foreign minister, recently himself acknowledged. we have, as you know,

substantial in men trio from soviet and crush and origin weapons. undocked in wintry actually grew for a variety of reasons. you know, committed shulty weapon systems themselves. but also because for a, for a multiple tickets or western countries did not supply a supply weapons to india. so i think can be all in international politics deal with what we have and thoughts corporations are not new or recent. so we buy a new deli based think tank o r f stress that russia has been in, deals most reliable, bought no since had gained independence. and 1947, we did a survey of the indian youth in which this question was us, and ashad did our billing, and those are so in some ways, india, as youth, has looked at rash as role and russia support and, and get

a shot relationship over the last 75 years and have come to the conclusion that while other countries have shift to their support for india. and depending on the circumstances that are shown, india have had the relationship spend spec good since independence and has been going on strong since then. so there, do you rush as a very important factor for dan? this is what is afflicted the survey that that was done despite constant pressure by the west to curtail ties with more school. india has a fond it's relationship with russia. j shanker is, was it amidst the shadow of the you cream conflict? i'm, it's for lout will be a significant 1. 1 that the west and the world would be closely watching. region sharma, r t you, denny, us, mainstream media didn't hold back with praise. we're a member of ukraine's far right, as all battalion who's known to have made post glorifying naziism on his social media account, 0 holder in ukraine's national guard was held captive in the besieged. she'll

find me through thank you for your heroism and for the record that you've shown that fighter is also giving talks to middle school students across the u. s. and some of his previously posted, but now deleted tweets. the ukranian, as of soldier, was seen openly brandishing nazi symbols even going so far as to bake a swastika themed pizza. in his treat, you can see another ukrainian silver displaying a swastika on his rucksack. the b, b. c, for example, has also featured a soldier wearing a notorious ass nazi logo. while western media has now changed its june towards the as our battalion. they didn't manage to hide their proud display of noon off the tattoos. despite the rise of far right groups across the world, 52 countries, including the u. s,

voted against russia's un general assembly resolution condemning naziism, the chief editor of the finish. and the lady news outlet says that the numbers reflect the willingness of the west to tolerate the glorification of bar right. ideology. i think the general problem here is that the western home political system doesn't want to recognize the difference between the battery us anthem, nationalistic, now we are seeing nazi's lecturing in the european or the western schools about, glorifying naziism. that's i think a step forward where and san where should be the border. and i think that some kind of red line has been grocer. i'm worry afraid of these. so un voting now, what's happened? because past years, at least, there has been some decency from the only the u. s. c. and crane was in favor

for not condemning the glorifying of to not to be cation. and we know the reason because the usa was behind the cranium, nazis here all these years. so now looks like that the western countries, their allies, are willing to start to glorify the nazis as well. the washington post is reporting that the biden administration is pushing president zalinski to consider peace talks with russia. u. s. officials are allegedly worried that if he doesn't consider negotiations with moscow, it may start losing support in the quote ukraine fatigued west. the request by american officials is not aimed at pushing ukraine to the negotiating table. these people said, rather they called it a calculated attempt to ensure the government and kias maintains the support of other nations facing constituencies. wary of feeling a war for many years to come. the article explores the rather difficult position

washington finds itself in. as the ongoing conflict continues to caused significant damage to the global economy and energy security. biden's pledge to support ukraine for as long as it takes, has drawn criticism from republicans and democrats alike and whistle and keep refusing to negotiate with whom he may be scaring off those who supported him. up until now, moscow and haven't held feast talks, those the 1st 3 months of the conflict was going to be issuing a decree in late september, making it impossible for him to negotiate with. but the washington post article says that us officials believe is trying to gain a stronger military foothold before winter when it may be forced to negotiate. let's cross live now. the earl rap music, the executive vice president of the erasure center. for more details on this latest

report. earl, it's great to have you on the program. now, what do you think that divide administration means when they refer to this ukraine? but she g, that key as western allies are allegedly experiencing. rachel, we've got we've got, even here in the us, you've got many people with them, especially of the republican party that is voicing concern. we've got the progressive that initially put together a letter to voice concern, but then when attacked by their own party, they withdrew that. and i think there's a lot of concern on the open checkbook on the flow and then mismanagement in the on accountability of where weapons and, and the resources going. and if you look at europe, you've got which go very little reporting in the western media. we've got demonstrations in the hundreds of 1000 against the war, anti nato demonstrations against the economic conditions. and so i think

you've already seen several governments fall. so we've got political turmoil going on. so i think this is the west is becoming weary and there they worry for a reason in their constituents the people are not really behind this. and so i think they need what they're trying to do is create another act or another show that the actor can go into kind of a piece, the public to some degree. well, you make a good point and you know when it comes to timing and also the will of the people we of course have to remember that this week is the mid term elections in the u. s . and certainly you have volunteers that are suddenly paying more attention to what the american people want than they at least normally would. now, when it comes to the possibility of the peace talks or maybe even pushing or them do you believe that washington is genuinely interested in this?

and does that kind of go against what the u. s. has been pushing for, in terms of continuing to approve the weapons delivery after weapons delivery to the crane. and then now suddenly coming around and saying that they want some sort of talks. i mean, do you think that the binding ministration will be genuine in this absolutely. not, i do not think that the, i think this is only to make an appearance. i look with we, we scuttled the negotiations on on bull. that could, it could have ended this and even before this. but i do not think, i think the u. s. intention is to try to drag this on as long as possible. they don't really care as far as the lives that are lost. it's the geo political gain. and ukraine just happens to have stumbled into the attic to deploy, being played by the, by the west. essentially, it's part of the game. i do not think the u. s. is really interested in that in any type of negotiated settlement. at this point,

i was thinking of that sort of geopolitical game. you know, when we hear president biden talk about the situation, he continues to say that the us will support ukraine for quote, as long as it takes. but in a way, is that only as long as he has the support of all of congress, many in the mainstream media and that sort of thing. how long do you think that he can continue to carry this out? especially if he doesn't have the support of the american people on his side. i don't think he really cares about the support of the american people. i think if they can play a game to some degree and kind of control this to some somewhat, they'll continue to put the support out there. when you start having a demonstrations in the streets, when you start seeing an elections, political turmoil happening, then maybe something will happen. maybe some shift will occur after the mid terms of but i think the foreign policy and the people that are leading

a foreign policy here for our, for our country is, are pretty lock step. so they're very, let's say, and they're close to being in the ne, neal con area. so they're very pro war and they're very anti russian. then i don't it's unfortunate, but i don't see them actually, unless there's some major changes. i don't see them actually promoting negotiated settlement, and unfortunately far too many and the establishment and the ones who have carried out afghan a stand for 20 years. and so it does raise a lot of questions about what they have planned for ukraine. now let's talk about going a little bit here because he's made it clear that he is close to negotiations with bruton. so what could the reaction ukraine be if he were to go back on that promise? do you think it would be a welcome one, or do you think that that would attack at least what could be seen as his credibility in this situation?

well, i think he was elected because he actually got supported the people because he was going to negotiate a peace settlement. and as soon as he took office, he kind of flips on that the animal we saw from shanker statement interview recently the many chords was never intended to be implemented. so only to posture ukraine to be built up by nato during the last 8 years. so i think, i think it would be open to his country to some degree, but the, the worst of that and definitely the, the influence of the far right ultra national. there would not be a piece by such actions, though i think he may, he may make an appearance. may perhaps we'll do that. but, but i don't think you're going to follow through with that. i don't think the be any real serious attempts and i do not think he would do anything without the us

approval. and i don't think the us that actually approve that. and he's got a problem. got a problem between the u. s. u k and he's got a problem with his ultra nationalist that are very, very much in control of his administration in his military. yeah, certainly a lot of moving parts there and we'll continue to follow those calls for a few stocks to see if they go beyond just the washington post article, executive vice president of the raises center aero rasmussen. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you, richard. an 18 year old palestinian teenager has been shot dead by israeli forces in the west bank. the latest and continued cases of violence in the area and the ongoing conflict. the debt was confirmed by palestinian health officials. most often a fall was reportedly hit in the head by a lie around and later died in the hospital. he was reportedly shot not far from nearby palestinian all of orchards. the idea said they targeted the youth as he was

throwing stones at israeli vehicles. however, the teens family insisted he was with them taking all of when they were attacked by israeli settlers, forcing him to leave the land and confront the assailants. now this is far from the only report of palestinians being attacked in the west banks while harvesting all of with the crop season. being in full swing about 4 days ago, 6 members of another palestinian family were left injured after an alleged beating by israeli settlers on their land. they described what exactly happened to them, and we should warn you. some of the following images may be disturbing. toddler, my, that is a muscle to you. we would attacked by barbaric settlers who want to displaces from our land. this is the only reason because we pose no threat to them since we only come to our land once a week or even a month. i was on my land harvesting. what's the problem with me harvesting my

crops? that came with aggressive intentions. they brought wooden sticks, dogs and guns. they started beating us. the settlers came from all sides. one of the settlers asked me to come to the main road so he wouldn't get accused of attacking me on my own land. i refused, so they demanded that i leave. they said i wasn't allowed to stay there. i asked them whether i could at least take my stuff, but they refused. my head injury require 20 stitches. both my legs were injured. there were bruises all over our bodies. they broke my daughter's right hand. my wife had a heart attack after being beaten. we had a 7 year old child with us. he got really scared, so we run and hid in the car. and oh well neil hootie, the settlers beat me with sticks and iron bars. one of the bars had a nail in it which cut my leg. it felt like a bullet wound every year when we start harvesting the settlers, common either verbally attack us, we're start cutting down the trees and runing our lands using our own tractors. but we're standing for our land and we will not leave it. this village allegedly

showing the incident we just described was published by an independent israeli human rights group, the video documents, israeli settlers, and during the families, all of orchard carrying women's decks and accompanied by dogs. a skirmish then occurs which was when the family members were attack. israeli authorities have long been accused by the un of illegal settler policies on palestinian territories, full of repeatedly denied any violations. however, international humanitarian groups report show a dramatic increase in sadler attacks in the west bank over the past 6 years. over a 1000 such incidents have taken place since the start of the year, october alone, having seen over a 100 tack in just 10 days coming amid the annual all of harvesting seas in the attacks have already left at least for palestinians, dead and more than 40 injured, we spoke to the coordinator for human rights defenders,

palestine who believes this is become israel's systemic policy. i'm done with them to you and when i spoke to your mom and i continued attacks by the israeli settlers on palestinian farmers specifically during the olive tree harvesting season, is systematic policy. it aimed at kicking the palestinian farmers of their land and taking control of the land, turning it into new settlements. the setlist spend effort and tech in palestinians also the israel at armies preventing farmers from reaching the lands. it's a way of thinking for the settlers to continuously attack and abuse anything philistine, whether just people of the property to bonnie on mistletoe tour road trust in the american voting system. moscow is once again accused of interfering in us elections this time and the mid term re said to kick off this tuesday speculation as now swirling in western media that russia is allegedly using bots to target democratic candidates with more on what really undermines trust in the us election integrity

here is r t is caleb mop n. my regular voting hasn't even started yet in the u. s. mid term elections, but all ready, we've got scandals about the potential resolve and voter distrust is riding high 15 pennsylvania republicans have sent a letter to state secretary chapman asking about the 240000 unverified ballots that have been mailed out a day later. chapman came forward saying that the mid term election results will be delayed since i've been in office in january. we have constantly met with the f. b . i department of homeland security. just to talk through what the current threat landscape is and tools that we can give our counties to ensure that they have, you know, physical security protection as well as cyber security protection. so it's been great to partner with both the federal and state law enforcement organizations where it constant communication with them. and it's a situation that we're monitoring now nail in balance of already been

a source of concern. how do you actually prove that somebody else was didn't nail in a ballot under another person's name? meanwhile, trust in the u. s. public, it for their election system is sinking. now, a poll taken by the new york times and coordination with st. college shows that 71 percent of americans feel like democracy is under threat. now you may feel like you've heard that before. back when trump one in the 2016 presidential election, his democratic rivals widely describe the results as a threat to democracy. you can run the best campaign. you can even become the nominee. and you can have the election stolen from you after trump was declared victorious, the flood gates were opened. there were all kinds of conspiracy theories, congressional investigation sanctions on russia. there was even an impeachment trial, who was it who was banging the gavel over those who objected as congress moved to certify the results,

county is not in order to valid even with the mary a signed by america or no day when the joint session, no debate vote is no debate. 16 low debate and the matters are. yes, joe biden was vice president back in those days presiding over the senate. now he's been elected president and those election results have also been contested, surprising, not really, but the fraud happened. the election in many ways was stolen, but it begs the question, is it really that easy to steal an election in the united states? now with all these accusations of dishonesty being thrown around by both sides, it's not really shocking that as a result about 59 percent of the public maybe more did not have faith in the integrity of the us election system in 2020. but at least this idea that russia was somehow the nefarious puppet master was put to rest right. now americans who

believe that donald trump was unfairly robbed of reelection, came up with charts and graphs and theories of their own. they even stormed the u. s. capital, a few people died and a lot more of gone to prison. democrats said the 2016 election was no good. republicans say the 2020 election was no good. and who do they blame each other? of course and nothing has really changed. there's now already a steady drumbeat about the possibility of fraud in the mid terms. there's no question. it's been right, widely reported that there was widespread fraud and irregularities across the country. many of us were warning about the fact the democrats unilaterally fundamentally altered our voting system. inside 90 days, we warn of the state of nevada was just simply not ready to give us a fully fair and secure election. if i was united states senator, on the day of the certification, i would have stood with senator cruz and senator scott and that small handful of

senators who had the courage to stand up and say we, let's hold up on the certification of this election. hillary clinton is saying that the presidential election sat for 2 years from now is going to be stolen. right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election. so with american politicians on both sides telling the public not to trust the election results, is it any more shocking that we're seeing more and more distrust of the election, integrity from the u. s. public divisions among the u. s. power structure are getting deeper, that crack in the liberty bell is getting bigger and distrust and disgust is also brewing beneath the surface. caleb martin? r t. new york. let's go now to some news coming in from dubai, where a large fire is blazing in a tower in the heart of this city. according to social media and other sources,
