oh, a americans, europe for the key mid term elections with the countries economic crisis. the main concern for many, meanwhile, for democrats, military support for ukraine overshadows domestic worry. hackers found the 4th consecutive day of protest after an assassination attempt on former prime minister in brand con demonstrators for the streets have gone a capital demanding the president's resignation and opposing negotiations with the map. amid rising inflation and weakening currency in the country, ah,

for a month out of the world, this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories. this our over 42000000 americans have cast early ballots ahead of tuesday's mid term elections. as us citizens prepared to determine the next make up of the countries, congress polls show the domestic issues stand out as the biggest factor impacting voters. decisions always drives everything. i think that that is probably the factor that most directly influences people's day to day lives. so definitely i a prominent decision in quoting, i think the economy is an issue, but i think abortion is a huge issue, especially in this city. i think the economy is definitely a big issue right now. i think a lot of people will be motivated, motivated by it, but i don't think the economy is like the biggest issue that's happening in our society right now. well one you could take a look at the condition of everything,

the jobs, the unemployment and people are struggling. i can't even get so security and the benefits that they offered me when i was paying taxes. i don't get. so there are hundreds of thousands of people that are really crushed under false economy. according to recent polls, 79 percent of americans say their voting decision will be driven by economic issues, naming domestic problems as their biggest concern. now that comes as washington recently approved a $400000000.00 aid package to ukraine, remaining firmly focused on events abroad. crane ukraine, ukraine, united states roll never, never, never recognized russia's claims on the ukraine. we demonstrated the united states commitment to the government and to the people of ukraine. club, ha, crana in washington, and it's all ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, 7 days

a week, 24 hours a day. and it's not just costing time. it's also costing money over $18000000000.00 already spent. no surprise that with washington's big names all focused overseas, many americans are feeling left behind. it seems ukraine 1st america last, according to the latest polls, at least when it comes to the issues that americans are concerned about. ukraine is nowhere near the top of the list. america's working families are getting crushed by inflation. the high gas prices are squeezing them dry, the cost of living keeps going up and up. mortgages are also rising. but yet the government of the united states continues writing checks to kia with prices, surgeon and american. struggling to keep up. the federal reserve takes a bold step to tame what seems like relentless inflation and raises interest rates by 3 quarters of a percentage point. it's biggest hike in nearly 3 decades. so price is up 13

percent rent up more than 6 percent. if you're in the market for a car, new or used, you're paying more about 9 percent more than this time. last year. we've never seen drastic actions like this under janet yelling. we never saw this on november, nancy, or even alan greenspan. you actually have to go back to the early 19 eighties under . busy paul volcker, and i think this says a lot about not just how high inflation is, but how stubborn did raytheon another military contractors are making a killing. but the american people are suffering. is anyone now shocked that the public is fuming? is i'm getting my money to ukraine. i have every way disrespect to you because you're the 1000 equation with 80000000. craig, i'm sorry, bill, in my mistake that you are a fraud. now some would say that heckling public officials is certainly not the way out. but what exactly does one do when the president himself seems to be somewhat out of touch with reality? not concerned about with i'm concerned about with

one of the people you a lack did are focused on a country overseas, while things in your community just keep getting worse and worse. you might think that it's time to be a little bit less polite. maybe it's time for some unconventional politics. the polls are now swinging to the right, regardless of any shouting at town halls. my republicans aren't exactly peace does either. and no one's expecting that if they come into office, they'll pull a complete 180 and reverse u. s. foreign policy in europe, the grant in particular, but unlike their rivals, they seem to have at least picked up on the widespread public opposition to prolonging a foreign war at the expense of the american people. nation building didn't work out too well in iraq and afghanistan. i don't think we should be doing it in ukraine. so targeted military assistance. one thing i favorite that, but yeah, this kind of nation building we're, it's less about our national security. it's more about nation building. i think it's a problem with ukraine and everywhere. right now, our country is a crime. our border is out of control. human traffic. we've inflation,

gas prices out of control. i mean 333. now such words from republicans have sent the dana crabs into a tizzy. joe biden is now talking about nuclear armageddon. and saying he's not interested in any talk of the escalation or negotiation. biden is declaring roughly half the electorate to be irredeemable, right wing extremists. and he's also taken actions to cause an energy crisis that is certainly not unrelated to u. s. foreign policy. now it's little wonder that even for some long time democrats, this is all gotten to be a little bit much. now i believe in a government that's of the people by the people and for the people. unfortunately, today's democratic party does not. instead, it stands for a government that is of by and for the powerful elite. now in the mid term elections, americans don't vote for

a president. they vote for representatives in the house and the senate. but these mid term elections are turning into a referendum on one man, a man who is not on the ballot, but does live in the white house. and so while biting goes on with his democracy is at stake. montrose, it looks like a lot of americans are just not thrilled with his performance, and they may be recalling a few things that his predecessors sad about america 1st failed mop and r t new york to political strategists and u. s. department consultants. john said, ladies believes that despite heed for ukraine, the american public still puts his own needs 1st. most americans are being pulled as being concerned, primarily about inflation, hikes and gasoline prices. runaway crime illegal aliens and the rest of the ukraine war does not register very high for most americans because they're concerned about the wrong well being and economic hardship right now. i believe most americans are

still very concerned about the well being of the ukrainian peoples, but ultimately every country and every citizen is going to be concerned with his own well being. first, the republican party is going to come in with a very robust agenda that will be promoting. he cannot make gross. i think we'll see a number of issues that also help provide freakonomics relief for everyday americans because they're entering a period of great anxiety. and i think the republican party will look to see how we best alleviate that anxiety by promoting job growth, economic growth, energy production, safety for our citizens and ceiling, the border and providing for control of our sovereign territory as the united states of america. meanwhile, moscow has once again been accused of interfering in u. s. selections. speculation is swirling in western media. so russia is allegedly using bots to target democratic mid term candidates. here's some reaction to those allegations from the us. with the luminous auction the,

you know what this means, aaron much a's activated to take ripples of russian interference and turned it upside down into narratives that oppose america been aware of russian interference by employee and it's all fake. they must really love him in moscow. as a recent campaign events, i ags republican tom marino's key. if the bill he sponsored to designate russia a state sponsor of terrorism, would abra gates, the prospect of any future diplomatic relations with russia. he replied by accusing me of working for the russian government. western media has been flooded with headlines describing russian boss and trolls for the vote was on the analyst even alleging the russian actors are attempting to undermine support for democratic candidate b, u. s. cyber security and infrastructure security agency has also jumped on the bandwagon saying that china, iran and russia may all seek to interfere with you as

a democratic processes. we discussed the issue with journalist daniel was our, who says the american public doesn't buy into the government's blame games. as we come, this coming ritual of american politics or a liberal american politics, let things go wrong, blame it on russia. it's never the fault of the democratic party. joe biden is doing a great job. and if american voters disagree, the only possible explanation is that it's due to the kremlin interfere. i mean, it's gotten, gotten ridiculous, so totally silly. no one believes was anymore. that the card has been over played and i think that democrats are worried because they very well may be facing a real blood back tomorrow. protests have raged across pakistan for 4 consecutive days after an assassination attempt on former prime minister in

mann quan last week. this comes of the country supreme court ordered police to investigate the shooting. a local journalist gave us the details. after 4 days went farmer fine mister emmett, i'm con, was acting vizier. i bought them. he was leaning the lat long march towards capitelli slammer. but today the supreme court are quite his band has ordered the police seats off the largest virus off one job to they just had a case against the attackers within 24 hours. in the meanwhile, in 4 days, the protested and support us up with, i'm con. they protested across the country in on major cities. he went today and they were out on the streets. there was anger that they were had for it. i guess the government and the dmitri body in his go, you will take revenge for him on kong. it doesn't matter if the march continue, sir, and you firm on calling to see or not all, children will answer their houses and will be like them. like they did tell many

and later in the convent joined them. i mean, the luck on our tv is slower, but pakistan. tendons are on the rise in west africa as anti government protest erupted, and gonna have made fuel and food prices hitting record highs. here's what people on the streets had to say. prices are too high. we are barbara, and we were locked up with a book on by medicine that up here. we have the most expensive a new. we have to come out and put those gun in. have had enough. it has been 30 years of mismanaging of a nation. we have been land our resources, everything that we have has been mis appropriate is appropriate, that bio politically. as you have seen, that what should belong to the people has been taken away from the people. we're

not happy or we don't see a and people are talking we're talking about, i mean i don't want him to crowd straight to the street to rally against the government says management. i made a worsening economic crisis calling for the presidents resignation. protesters also demanded an end to ongoing talks of the i and math, which the presidency as an opportunity to overcome the downturn and clashes with his earlier pledge of a no aid policy. gun and journalist winston tacky says that the i am left alone or not save the country from the recession. currently, the gun is economy has so fe significantly ceased the early this year, and i was trained to to there's been a plant in transgender country to full blown economic recession. inflation ross from 2.9 percent in general to 27.2 percent in september. and some

of us to believe the actual level is modern white or be sure it possibly as high 98 percent on death level as increase. so last so normally 20 compared to 2022 to $1.00. and for that reason, our inability to meet our debt repayment at lighthouse brought a lot of pressure on the economy, the delicious possibly damn, if will give us a boost, but it will not basically take away what we need to do in the country domestically by reviving our domestic industries and companies, and also for summer or culture. russia has become india's top oil supplier, overtaking the usual major exporters like saudi arabia and iraq. the new trade figures emerged prior to the indian foreign ministers, a visit to moscow on monday, for talks with his russian counterpart, the 2 day trip is aimed at expanding cooperation between the countries during

a period of global challenges. energy is a major topic on the agenda, especially after the g 7 confirmed plans to push for a price cap on russian oil. but new deleon, moscow share more than just energy. both are members of bricks and beyond economics and cultural relationships. they also cooperate heavily in defense. recent polls also show a majority of indians that consider russia the country's most reliable partners, those new delhi game independence in 1947 with defense relations with moscow also viewed as crucial by most. so to discuss those further in depth, let's go live now to dr. several comalla data. sure, a politics and foreign policy expert doctor is great to have you on the program today. now, what expectations do you have for the indian foreign ministers of visit here to moscow? well,

i think the visit is very significant and that's such and especially when there is so much then chain at the international level. and that it's so much of foreign mentation combination going on. the videos like it's a lever lately, some song move, i sell less and specially after their rush in the green wire, i believe, you know, like, i mean, we have very good and over relationship. we're both rush here as brain, therefore, i think i can make a very by telephone or i'm being also amicable in relation on that and to be have all right. insane. honorable prime minister has time and and also the leadership manual on the, on the, on the ukraine on. ringback that,

i mean, i've been here when can be which we go and bad trust on the old by russia and from that therefore, i understand, yes, i'm ready to go and finding out. i'm not telling jim in relation to the con, may have been planning there, but there was a reason on there and walked about being we shoot in relation to the law or any new and in the faith kind of a role embarrassed. i find people sell gold and i guess they would not be any kind of opposition to it from our, from russia or from united method from new claim. therefore,

i got something very positive if they saw one that are on their list. and i understand that something that significant i'm out here is one of those cases where talks are incredibly important right now. now when we look at the key topics of this visit for discussion, we know that energy is high up on the list. do you think that any new deals will be signed between india and russia? i guess so. there might be some more new in the sugar spend. there might be fun when you do that, such an arts and choose barberie involved to teach you got to read that to be on the revised term sheet on so strong goal here, relationship in relation to different varies. it's not you know, so i understand their hands ment,

installation for all the up my on the and being there. yes, we do have the problem of writing and by actually i'm in the back because of the conflict and it's we are on funded. so i'm writing in relation to get all that and natural so in that like i mean judy in the on much the great then we have far checked out a lot of them actually get from us last year we ran our problem that he bam, in my box, you know, because we understand that we will buy a oil and natural gas from radio which gives the less that's the national pipe. and actually i had to operate in relation to the oil. right.

well, i do understand that they would be significant simulation part about it and, and then of popovich and in relation to liam. and they're both in per back and it will be and, and not relationship in relation to different package in relation in relation to finding some new forms. and it's definitely there would be more n, she'll stop insulation for climate change. and in relation to you as possible, cause problem and much level of this for a long last yeah. group brain long as i can also offering you for that you will not be wrapped up green us. we are, you know, i mean, everyone, mom, out of, you know, we have bump amount of such but you gotta awesome issue. we're going to their

religion. i think all the really nice and i understand that helps me thing, violet. and to be counter russia is going to be very, very significant. and we are out of this now, when it comes to that continued relationship between russia and india, how do you think that those strengthen ties, will impact other international organizations such as they bricks in the future rel bricks. those of course, are very cohesive kind of a forum, but then we do have a lot of problems with china and you know, we have the issues, we're trying to china have a large box up and said to be an upcharge team as well. everything's randy and

someone gets done. so we do understand that that is the call me if you need me for that default. and then my understanding, you know, like what rates will be more me or have china have to understand the information that china has to return back to me. we're trying, i have in italy of applied up the final water up 962. and i understand that she gave me a role in relation to best on the issues as large and in relation to becoming are kind of me are solving this problem that's been. yeah. and i'm up and i think the momentum sort of in, at the school we deal with the issue and, and solving that will be mannered. then i do understand that they will be bombing back in relation to brits also. and i do also find the emergence of a try car. when i try not to not she doesn't bother you just so they couldn't get

inside line. and then they can get into planning on the shoes. i mean, that happens and probably be the something mom. what is that such? am definitely the bilateral relationship between yeah and russia. dogs have a kind of an impact in relation to the also in relation to the quad as well as the relation to natal, natal dogs on the fact that india is not very significant. mom, it is a very powerful as a nation in relation to in the past. so natal, also, they're not not to be in the phantom relation up in the russia. and at the same time, i think i'm ready to understand the shoes. maybe when it comes to the question of the relationship and having said that, united

a proper i made it more than that in the family leadership operating in relation to your strategy and united states of america and that yeah, really not the jap or die hard relationship with russia at the ball stop, usa and russia are also on the fans that really non stop by your relationship with you. and i can add because russia as not, you know, so i do understand that there is a kind of a on strong transfer kind of in the in be american ship relevant literature. randy comes to tech and jake, you can all make and by letter size. yeah. and that's why we are kind of are, you know, kind of a boy by no rush and relation ship and boy, boy to san juan and go us it's so i guess he's laying

a very hard role and yet in farming, this was very, not a big issue, but also in from south europe as well as in sam. so s a b and russia them not be not when it comes to the question of go back to the thought of when it comes to which 10 of your office locks and the most important and very powerful followed and therefore the risk for it. and you're not permitted also, i guess, to actually be on the stand. and therefore, i believe. and i feel that if you initiate i'm double negotiation. part of you meant, you know, green russia on. i can all the country which are effective, 5 minutes or a line or rather if you're not ready to rush here or whether you're not get it up. i mean, i guess all the time chris will come certainly

a lot of daycare and will continue to follow to see what comes out of this a visit. doctor sue will come on to politics and foreign policy expert. thank you so much for your time and insight. as the african parliamentary union calls to fight against extremism and terrorism, molly and burkina faso have agreed to take measures into their own hands. that's after the western troops involvement failed, the payoff prompting the countries to act to stabilize the region or corresponding corolla has the story african countries in the hell are cooperating in the common type post of security. for years, the region has been and f p center for conflict. and critics, i saying that this is largely due to the actions and in actions of western governance. there are currently not enough funds to meet people's ever increasing

needs, which compromises the humanitarian relief that can be provided. more than 400000 people are now internally displaced in molly, forced to leave their homes, livestock, and livelihoods behind. and france in particular as the check itself out of a conflict, it promised to quell a decade ago, the situation remains in some of the most brutal fighting in the region. and now many of these countries, i rejecting cooperation with france and a painting their hope and the new alliance with russia. perhaps with the new security situation, we will reexamine our relations with russia to see if it should be strengthened in one sector or not. and i'm a former french colonies in the hell are cooperating with each other for the security of the nations as stated by booking so far, so i kept him grow or if was visit abroad to money. the most important thing for us in the current situation as the security challenge,

we came here to share experience on how to strengthen our military cooperation and how to conduct our operations better and to secure the population. this is the main objective of the visit. and while the influence of the west diminishes, countries like the united states, a being accused of hiding behind the veil of democracy and clue rather than as they throw sanction at some of the poorest nations in the world. i am taking this step because i have determined that the government of became faso has not established or is not making continual progress toward establishing the protection of the rule of law and political pluralism. the hell has become a byword for conflict following years of unfeeling fighting and for the millions of displaced people in the region of had to endure the brutality of that conflict. hopeful peace seems untenable. gonzales has 5 t,

enjoying this new england university scholar eunice williams says that western attempts to secure peace in this a how actually made the situation on the ground much worse since 2014, when the bar can operations started, things have gone from bad to worse, and then we realized today that this the, the way this whole situation has been handled, has led to further stages integration, terrorism chaos. i think this whole country, it's high time. did they get organized and look for ways to cooperate among each other, to serve their own interest in the interest of their population? i think what happened in molly when, what's happening? i'm booking a parcel is, has some sort of postcolonial reflexes in the sense that these countries have, are tied from the, the former colonial powers. you haven't seen any.
