not by mia a with the name ties as rush becomes new delhi top oil supply. india's foreign ministers that to visit moscow to further boost bilateral relations with the us mid term elections looming, polls suggest trust in election integrity have plummeted to both sides, accused each other of trying to feel victory plaza as western countries push to use the more electric cars the africans are the ones doing the heavy lifting to keep those vehicles running at people in the democratic republic of the congo. say that mind as being exploited by the developed world. they came here with

promises of changing our lives. but this is not what is happening on the ground with men and women benefit from the minerals and other countries. when our husbands are dying, no one cares about our situation with a variable welcome to you or system 5 pm here in the russian capital. you're watching out the international with the latest world news update, right? to have you with russia has become india is top oil supply. i've taken conventional providers that saudi arabia and iraq new trade figures, the merge prior to the indian foreign minister's visit to moscow on monday for talks with his russian counterpart where the trip comes amid growing ties between moscow and new delhi race imposed a majority of indians consider russia, the country's most reliable partner, agree that defense relations with moscow all vital for the country. respondents also said that the bricks group of states which includes india and russia,

is the most beneficial platform for realizing the countries global interests. r t. that ruins and sharma brings as well. tindale's foreign minister tells wizard to moscow could not have come at a more important time with the world grappling with major food an energy crisis doctor as j shanker is duty drip is aimed at expanding cooperation between the donations 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 moore was aimed at cutting rushes revenue, but could potentially hurt india 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 needs. and it is so important for india, strawman, man and woman. 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 in the else foreign minister, recently himself acknowledged. we have, as you know, a substantial in men trio, soviet and crush and origin weapons. and documentary actually grew for about 2

reasons. you know, permitted shulty weapon systems themselves. but also because for a, for a multiple dick western countries did not supply a supply weapons to india. and such corporations are not new or recent. so we buy a new delhi based thing. tank o r f stress that russia have been in the us most reliable bought no, since it gained independence. and 1947, we did a survey of the youth in rich this christian was us and assured billing, right? other countries have shifted their support for india, or depending on the circumstances that are shown, india have had a relationship to spend spec guy since independence and has been going on strong since then, josh yonkers was it amidst the shadow of the ukraine conflict on its fall out will be a significant 1. 1 that the west and the world would be closely watching. region sharma,

r t, new delhi. now for the latest in the ukraine conflict where i don't yet, city center has been hit by ukrainian shelling, causing serious damage to local infrastructure. you can see footed shed on social networks of the aftermath of the strikes local railway administration offices as well as other buildings in the city center have also been heads. no casualties have yet been reported. ukrainian troops showed the city with nato supplied weapons, according to local officials. and it's not just humans feeling the force of ukraine's missiles, a low down square public equestrian center has been left in ashes following threats . r t. a senior correspondent, marin garcia, tells the story, a warning for you. you might find the following. images disturbing. this was once the locally renowned virtue, so horse riding center, loved by children and adults alike whom to a dozen beautiful horses. oh leg worked here. he is 84 and has spent most of

his life trading horses. he was here when it all ended. he watched them burn alive. there was a mayor there with her full. he was born on the 25th of march. such a wonderful little thing. so friendly the launched an incendiary bomb. it blew up in the air and set fire to the entire stables. there was no way to help. just 2 men remained in the village of me till kid a oh leg. and another elder. last of the shell, both ends of the stable and then they launched incendiary bombs. if it weren't for them, the stable wouldn't have burned. they could only listen to the cries of burning animals. in a conflict that is filled with tragedy and suffering details from the truth of it are sometimes lost. we won't land what happened here. 5 months later,

as these horses banged alive, 12 of them gabba, ukrainian media and euclidian military came out and said, well, what the russians have done, we've now land that met, happened here, was very different from what the ukrainians said. this particular store trapped as everything brand. was omega, a young mer well known for how friendly she was. yeah, loitering. i learned to ride here and i loved horses. i loved being around them, my horse or rather the one my heart lay with was omega. she was the 1st to die nastier, left shortly before the fighting here began. but she remembers the threats very clearly. crocodile yeah, she has a lot. mack, when i was still here ukrainian nationalist visited and warned that unless the owner gave the horses up, they would burn the stable so the russians wouldn't get them. i didn't that the

glenelg, this one until we still he was in lou ganske in the russian controlled area. he was trying to get the horses out. he was pro russian in the immediate aftermath of the attack. ukrainian media blamed the russian forces for the fall. they lied. tell us locals standing amongst the skeletal remains. they promised to burn the place and they did not go. the 1st horse was killed in the 11th of june and shelling. it isn't clear who 5 the ukrainian military or ukranian nationalists. but the fact is it was ukrainians who fired. they had positions all around the village. i used to really put santa gunners. no proof. of course it was on purpose user before the fighting. the ukranian nationalist bell etzky was here. he walked around the grounds. leslie will know if only i had a gun back then i don't know what i would have done, but i didn't think malesky was such scum to fire at stables with artillery,

andrade, bell, etzky, and infamous and open neo nazi, is well known in ukraine. he founded several nationalists, the neo nazi movements and battalions burning stables is not the worse they've done it. what to do, his followers are behind countless acts of savagery in mitchell corner like elsewhere. people will not soon forget what happened and you can get them and they didn't want anyone to get the horses that they weren't those then no one would have them. no, no, it isn't for nothing that they call them nationalists. nazis. the germans did the same thing, killed everything. nothing is sacred to these people. there were mercury then look at their showing of. don't ask now at people's homes. bus stops crowds, civilians, children, despite everything the fighting, the uncertainty, locals have not given up the owner as well as o leg and vladimir, have begun to rebuild 3 elderly men with almost no money or resources,

but with an insatiable desire. once again, breed trade and care for a new generation of horses or at yards. d a r t. for me talk gonna lugens creegan. ah, moscow is again being accused of interfering in us elections this time. and the midterm rice said to kick off this tuesday speculation as well and in western media that russia is using boats to target's democratic candidate with more on wants, really undermines trust in the us election, his artes caleb, more pain, regular voting, hasn't even started yet. in the us mid term elections, but already we've got scandals about the potential result 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 game forward saying that the mid term election results will be delayed and

it's really important for us to get accurate information about the elections process in pennsylvania. so voters and the public know that, you know, when there's delays and counting, it doesn't mean that there's anything nefarious happening. it's just what the law is in pennsylvania now. male invalid have already been a source of concern. how do you actually prove that somebody else didn't mail 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 result 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 investigations 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 jain by america or no day when the session no debate vote is no debate. 16, there's no debate. and the man i, 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 u. s. 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 believed 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 and then 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 stay. wait, let's hold up on the certification of this election. hillary clinton is saying that the presidential elections that 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 us 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. now asked preliminary po, show republicans who were threatened to shut off the money top. the key as are likely to win control over both chambers of congress, is raises questions of the future relations between the us and a you will the bill for continued conflicts in ukraine with more details. and it says close lines who are the contributor, rachel, martha. now rachel, nice to see that, nope, like europe has prepared for potential republican takeover of congress. and what that mean for the multi $1000000000.00 of a poor and ukraine while the outcome of this week's u. s. midterm elections could very well impact on europe's options in ukraine. if you look at this kind of like to parents raising a kid that kid beings zalinski or q spoiled kid that, that perhaps then what's about to happen potentially is one of those parents could

very well lose their income. and the bread winner could very well these, their income, if you look, for example, at the used pledged 18000000000 euros and funding to key for 2023. from the used 27 country collective. a really pales in comparison to the $17600000000.00 already handed out by the u. s. as a single country. so is it any wonder that there's been a live talk on the republican side of the aisle about reeling in what's routinely described as a blank check for ukraine? republican house, minority leader, kevin mccarthy, who could take over? how speaker nancy pelosi is job in congress. if the republicans went house majority dare to suggest recently that washington should not issue a blank check to ukraine, sparking fears among establishment figures on both sides of the aisle that the spending spree could come to a crashing halt. congresswoman margery taylor green of the g o. p 's populist wing also said in his stump speech last week that quote, under republicans not another penny will go to ukraine. so ukraine has obviously

become a big wedge issue in this election. normally you hear the democrats talking anti war pro mill class, and that seems to be taken over by the republican party. more and more, the republicans are tapping into this fact that for all the deafening establishment narratives, paddling on ukraine, americans a more preoccupied with paying the bills. i made growing inflation and energy costs . and one of the obvious outcomes of being cut off from u. s. support is that ukraine would ultimately have to make its way to the negotiating table. now, according to the latest to wall street journal poll, taken just a few days ago, just 35 percent of republican voters want to send more aid to ukraine. and that's compared to 81 percent of democrats. so just over half of all american voters support more aid for ukraine still, but that's definitely being reduced to quincy institute pool last month, for example, founded over half of them. also want negotiations even if it means concessions to moscow. now as stony as former defense minister, who is now a member of the

e. u. parliament is among european officials, who are really worried about a g o v. p victory on tuesday, killing ukraine's household. i sincerely hope i don't do it, but this is a wake up cole. i am absolutely convinced that europe is not doing enough. so he creating president. lamar zalinski is constantly brow meeting brussels, demanding that its cash flow to him, be more like a fire hose than the current trickle. and actually, the biden administration is apparently unfamiliar with european red tape because he can understand why that you is funding is ukraine at such a slow pace? that's according to western press report. so there's a big question of why europe would ultimately do if a republican lead washington lost interest or its ability to foot most of this bill

and where brussels would get the cash to pay any more of that bill. amid ongoing economic hardship induced by its own anti russian sanctions, it's all a big mystery. when he thinks that thou thought a contributor, rachel moss in tectonic changes thou 30 as president, has described the master resignation of sub officials in tulsa though and protests that what they call a discriminatory local law. president very church has blamed christina for the fall without and describe the situation as hard. but it's not the 1st time. this is neither the 1st nor the last time that serbia has been attacked on the issue of kosovo. we are certainly talking about major political, almost tech tonic changes. there is no end to the madness in pristina. and all of this is supported by 2 great powers of the current situation they can be solved by today. we can bit of

a thorough model because the resignation of serbian police officers for the noun so yesterday, summer of the clock, 100 police off and police cars, resign them, return their uniform year and decide that which is more but more important than the police officers from the city process guarding it and also returned their uniforms in the day or so. as of yesterday, the border crossings are entirely controlled by silly obedient police officers. and until yesterday we had mixed controls. so you at the meetings and serbians, him the possibility for the courses controlling the m 3, then the people going out from again. so as of yesterday there are basically no more serbs in the police are unit in the role that is in causal police force. and

convenient to leave other institutions such as the do so one such as the mayor's also said there resigning. so you don't have a local authorities here in the north of like the almost all you'd say yesterday we submitted our resignations. but now i want to publicly return the mandates to you. you will like to this, not pristina. i think really most of we got together to send a message that enough is enough of the oppression of serbs and cost of all in the talk. you people elected us not pristina causal authorities, as always, the language of accusations, thank. of course that's or be russian proxy that are not willing to negotiate the sabbath passion factor. and that's where i mean, they don't know the reasons that lead the service to these really,

really hard decision believe all the and so sort of it as a matter of rushing to sit back, i'm going to go chasing table and try to find some reasonable solution that will be a sample for both sides, but once again, the show is it's not interested in something like that, but in it more prefers, as it did in the past 4 states. so now you in the lateral and imposing by both force you reset to bound the use of gas guzzling engines on switch to electric vehicles, all in the name of green energy. but people in some developing countries say that being exploited to produce bachelor in europe, electric towels. here's what locals are saying in the democratic republic of congo, which mines essential minimally for the west. plus, you know, but the western mining companies are working on our land. they came here with

promise of changing our lives by giving us good jobs. but this is not what is happening on the ground with us. besides taking our land for low prices, we don't have jobs and we remain poor and now they're going, forcing us to leave our own land. we cannot accept this at all. 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. one for one, but my husband died while working in the mine and the mining company hasn't given anything, not even in order to help out open children. i cannot even afford for them to eat properly. there's no way to send them to school was the see if the world's largest producer of cobalt, which is essential for car batteries. however, critics of the green energy agenda say it isn't so green after all, as

a bathroom production industry is a major polluted by itself and now accounts for over half of global cobalt consumption. the batteries require between 6 and 12 kilograms of metal and sells of electric vehicles all predicted to increased tenfold worldwide in the coming decades. independent alan and alice alk attend, say the african countries need to change their mindset. and so, reaping the benefits of the countries riches buyers tend to put the rules on the table. but that's way african countries, the understanding that if you process and transform locally, you're not in a rush to sell your products for survival. that's exactly what's going to pull the balance between east western western countries and africa, african kong in particular, trying to localize the edition in africa as far as we will use to so wrote, 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 garage to go on i and for the jade and trying to localize jobs and investments, and the additional locally made holy puppets. thus, how a member of the french political, a late depicted ukraine's vladimir lensky, accusing the president of the mirroring hawkish, u. s. foreign policy, and to ranking out the conflict in ukraine. zalinski says this morning that he is fighting against the russian and reigning axis. soon he will add china and his foreign policy will coincidentally be a perfect decal of american foreign policy. that's of the hawks who want world war, holy puppet. a french politicians comment made waves on the internet as he was in

turn, criticized for being a kremlin puppets is just the latest example of alternative narratives in the west being slated. florian philip policy, president of the patriots party, says that because washington is all keen on resolving the conflict, but pursuing its own aims. what is your call extension if you don't study, if you're in my opinion, it is impossible to continue living in a world in which the united states has too much power and seeks to dominate everything to be a hagaman which has turned the european union, france and other countries into that colonies which turned a blind eye to the existence of developing countries in the world, such as bricks, members and others. i'm a supporter of a multi polar whoa. i believe that it will be a balance weld all the without wars and the well dominated by the united states and nato with the e. u is a world older with walls and without any respect for all of a members of the world. community. united states has been in a state of relative decline for many decades, waging irresponsible,

and often illegal was in an attempt to maintain it's a gemini, in the case of ukraine, it is obvious to me that its goal is to bring european countries to suicide. the claps to separate them from russia in diplomatic, strategic energy and economic terms. this is extremely dangerous, and it is better for us, the french to keep our distance small. that's because it will not lead to peace. it will lead to war. require kelly's opinion to bleach it. i think this war fatigue in europe and american society as well. people realizing that it is destroying them and it is unclear why and the name of a wall that does not concern us in the name of the ukraine regime, which is extremely corrupt. and people say to themselves, we should not move towards russians inflation, unemployment war for the sake of mister zalinski, his beautiful eyes for the sake of the corrupt john to that surrounds him. for the sake of those who want to drag isn't to war the americans or ashleigh on the land

from the european commission. so yes, there is an obvious fatigue of society in france and europe everywhere. let me see over a day, reclaim it. if we want to seriously approach the issue of the search for pace, we should, there are some very important points, the neutrality of ukraine, the status of don bus, which needs to be seriously discussed. these are old issues, the expansion of nato, the annexation of new countries by the alliance. and so won't be, it is likely that what is happening now will have political consequences at the election level. perhaps some european nations will strive for the more reasonable majority in the government to be more inclined to dialogue with russia to search for peace to such for autonomy and independence from the united states. i am convinced of this. i believe that this will happen in a number of european countries, including france for more, today's top stories, you can keep an eye on our website r t dot com. that will be back in 30 minutes with

ah ah,

[000:00:00;00] ah . hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter level . western leads essentially promised to have a blank check to continue nato's proxy war against russia. businesses and consumers are now saying not so fast. the west believed russia would quickly collapse under the weight of sanctions. instead, it is the west, particularly europe facing collapse. ah, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guest here in moscow, the monroe. he is the founder of the centre, a political strategic analysis strap poll, and we also have dmitri bob and she is a political analyst and editor at you know,
