[000:00:00;00] a washer to work with with americans gear up for key mid term elections with the countries economic crisis. the main concern for many me while for the ruling democrat, military or ukraine, overshadows domestic concerns. also this, our india foreign minister meet his russian counterpart on the loss of a 2 day trip to moscow discussions on new trade deals on energy project on the table. but he's done the 4 consecutive day for the parent of fascination attempt on former p. m. r. com

with the demonstrators afloat, the streets have gone as a capital demanding the president resigned and an end to negotiations with the i. m f. that's our inflation, right. this plan the currency weekend with a very warm welcome to you from the russian capital at midday this tuesday and peter scott and welcome to the program where be joining us from biden's public approval rating has permitted to a new historic lo with us, according to a poll conducted on monday, which is of course the eve of those u. s. midterms and it adds to democratic concerns that they will lose their majority in congress. the vote could see around one 3rd of us, congressional senators voted out while the lower parliamentary chamber, which is the house of representatives, all $435.00 seats are on the ballots. new governors for 36 states will also be

chosen on tuesday, as well as new secretaries of states. you're responsible for further elections, major domestic issues such as abortion, access going on votes rights are very much in focus. now, many u. s. media outlets have been echoing biden's claims that us democracy is at risk, and that's prompted 1st that republicans could take control of congress and is drawn parallels with a possible red wave. and that comes as you are citizens, seem not to share such concerns. when asked, what motivates the votes? as most americans, they domestic problems are their top concern in the upcoming election battle always drives everything. i think that that is probably the factor that most directly influences people's day to day lives. so definitely a prominent decision in voting. 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 is happening in our society right now. well one you can take a look at the condition of everything, the jobs, the unemployment, 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 force academy. according to recent polls, 79 percent of americans say they're voting decision will be driven by economic issues, naming domestic problems as their biggest concern. and that says, washington recently approved a $400000000.00 a package to ukraine, remaining firmly focused on events abroad. crane ukraine, ukraine, united states will never, never, never recognize 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 chain what seems like relentless inflation and raises interest rates by 3 quarters of

a percentage point. it's biggest hike in nearly 3 decades. food prices, 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 paul volcker, and i think this says a lot about not just how high inflation is, but how stubborn it raytheon another military contractors are making a killing. but the american people are suffering. is anyone now shocked with 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, dan, 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 when the people you elected 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, you 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 where it's less about our national security. it's more

about nation building, i think is a problem with ukraine and everywhere. right now, our country for our border is out of control human traffic. now, we've inflation gas prices out of control. i mean that are 433. now such words from republicans have sent the democrats into a tizzy. joe biden is now talking about nuclear arm again and saying he's not interested in any talk of the escalation or negotiation. biden is declaring roughly half the electorate to be your redeemable 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. so al biden goes on with his democracy, is at stake mantra, it looks like a lot of americans are just not thrilled with his performance. and they may be recalling a few things that his predecessor sad about america 1st failed. mauppin r t new york geopolitical stuff. the dish on us state department consultant john sits a lady's or he believes that despite consent for ukraine, the american public still puts his own needs. first, a most americans are being pulled as being concerned, primarily about inflation, heights 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 economic growth. i think we'll see a number of issues that also help provide for you cannot make relief for every day 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 feeling the border and providing for control of our sovereign territory as the united states of america. on moving on, now, russia's become india's top oil supply,

and that's overtaken as usual. major exports is of saudi arabia and iraq. the new trade figures emerged prior to the indian foreign ministers visit to moscow for talks with these russian counterparts. the 2 day trip which began yesterday monday, it aimed at expanding corporation during a period of key global challenges. energy is of course, a major topic on the agenda, especially off the g 7 confirm plans to push for a price cap on russian oil. but new delhi and moscow show much more than just energy, both the members of bricks and beyond economic and cultural partnerships. they also corporate heavily in the defense industry. we suppose also so that the majority of indian people consider russia to be the country's most reliable partner. since new delhi gained independence way back in 1947. we defense relations with moscow also viewed as crucial by most. let's cross live now to all these don quarter, who is outside the foreign ministry reception hall in downtown moscow, with today's talks, are scheduled to take place very shortly. good morning to you,

don. good afternoon, archly. what can we expect from this meeting? well, peter, like you said, these talks between russian foreign minister, sir gay lavern and his indian counterpart are just about to begin on. the top of the agenda is going to be trade. it's specifically going to have to do with using national currencies in trade deals between the 2 countries to reduce dollar dependency and the focus of this trade is going to be on energy actually with the majority of potential contracts. looking at rushes far east as well as the arctics . it's also expected that these 2 foreign ministers are going to be discussing the iran nuclear deal, as well as preparations for india's presidency in the shanghai cooperation organization. but no secret that russia on india have maintained very strong bilateral ties, despite pressure from many western nations for india to set those ties over the war in ukraine. what are the main areas of cooperation, the moments and when you see room for expansion?

dawn while it's already been widely reported that the 2 ministers are going to be speaking about joint plans to combat terrorism, specifically to ensure the safety of the asia pacific region. but they're also going to be discussing the security situations in afghanistan, syria, and of course, ukraine, because after all, india is the 2nd largest market for russia's defense industry. so of course, this is a sphere of cooperation that's long been very crucial for both countries. and it's also important to note that the russian foreign ministry released a statement in the run up to these talks. it said that the 2 countries are working towards the construction of a fairer, more just world order. it said that such a world order would not heeds the dictates of imperialist power. so this statement really set the tone for what we're going to be hearing at the press conference later on, which i'll be at. i'll be able to ask a question to the foreign ministers there and we'll definitely cover that later on . well,

i hope you keep post post on any updates from those tools which reduced thoughts any minute now, basically, thoughts ease. donahoe, to thank you very much for speech again, shortly went on to super come our daughter politics and foreign policy experts also expects the trip to be constructive visitors very significant and such and specially been dated so much then chin at the international level. there might be some more new in this shape or there might be 5 more to do that such and of course and by barry in both of you get to read that full security on the revised term issue and also our strong relationship in relation to different i, which is very thought, yeah, really not jeopardize hard relationship with russia at the fault. stop usa and russia are also on the fans that will model for relationship with you and i can maybe add or sub russia as not. you know,

so i do understand that there is that kind of a one sometimes both kind of us in the n b american ship as relevant lot jim literature when it comes to tech and jackie can all make and bilateral applies. and that's why we are kind of trying to find all of the relationship and if we wanted f and the us and from india to pakistan, nowhere protests have raged for 4 consecutive days after an opponent's assassination attempts on former pm in wrong calling last week. now this comes as the country supreme court ordered police to investigate the shooting, and the local journalist brings us more details. after 4 days when farmer 5, mr. hamilton composites acting rosita, but then he was leaning the lat, longmont towards capitelli slammer. but today,

which the president's helps will help overcome the economic downturn. what does clash with his earlier pledge of a know, 8 policy canal journalist winston hockey says, an i m f. loans will not save the country from a full blown recession. currently, d, janice economy has so fe, significantly cease the early this year i was trying to to, to there's been a plant in plant in the country to a full blown economic recession. inflation ross from 10 to point 9 percent in january to 27.2 percent in september. and some of the analysts to believe the actual level is modern white or fisher and possibly as high as 98 percent our debt level as increased. so as normally to compare to 2022 to $1.00 and for that reason our inability to meet our death payment deadline has brought

a lot of pressure on the economy, the delicious. possibly diana will give us a book, but it's not basically take our weight. what do we need to do in the country domestically by reviving our domestic industries and companies and also focusing on our records show as the african parliamentary union cause for more to be done to combat extremism and terrorism. molly and keno faso agreed to take measures into their own hands. that's after western troop involvement in bustling insurgents. failed to pay off on prompting the countries to thought the correspondent trouble a tattler as morn. the story african countries in the us. a hell i call to rating in the common typos of security. for years, the region has been an epi center for conflict. and critics, i saying that this is largely due to the actions and in actions of western government. there are currently not enough funds to meet peoples 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, has he checked that itself out of a conflict? it promised to quell a decade ago. the situation remains dire. i'm in some of the most brutal fighting in the region. and now many of these countries, i rejecting cooperation with france and pinning their hopes on a new alliance with russia. perhaps with the new security situation, we will re examine 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 burkina, faso kept an abraham toward his 1st visit abroad to mun 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 populations. this is the main objective of the visit. and while the info at length of the west diminishes, countries like the united states, a being accused of hiding behind the veil of democracy and pluralism as they throw sanctions at some of the poorest nations in the world. i am taking this step because i have determined that the government of bikini faso has not established or is not making continual progress toward establishing the protection of the rule of law and of political pluralism. this a hell as become a by word for conflict, following years of unceasing fighting and for the millions of displaced people in the region of had to endure the brutality of that conflict. hopeful peace seems untenable. gonzalez had 40 in jonathan new england university scholar eunice

r boob says that western attempts to secure peace in the saw hell have only exacerbated the situation on the ground 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 countries, 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 booking? apostle is, has some sort of postcolonial reflexive in the sense that these countries have, are tied from the, the former colonial powers. they haven't seen any positive things coming from all

these interventions. and now the switches size to new partners. maybe they can get better security and better development through these new policies. so it is understandable on staying with africa. western media has slammed the uganda tons and the joint crude oil pipeline project, which could help believe the impacts of the energy crisis on africa with the u, accusing the countries of human rights violations and harming the environment. with a pipeline which was, which will stand at around 1500 kilometers, would help top in 3. you can do massive oil reserves and could also supply other countries through the port in neighboring towns near helping stabilize oil prices in the region. both back in september, the european parliament voted issue a resolution to demo uganda and found spots of backlash in the countries which accused the you of from the independence. as a result,

the european parliament resources approach and overturn the decision re lighting the project just days before the thoughts of the africa hosted un climate change conference. we thoughts a journalist from the exchange newspaper because the pipeline could benefit all parties for the you doesn't want constructive dialogue. you to his own in for the apathy to me means it is a barely bit omission of attention validation, but also support when it comes to energy ambitions. in the developing colonies, i found it to be a matter of business in the matter of economy monopoly because we all know that one of the most biggest import that africa. but also really in this case, because on oil, and if you got in touch with me, i would bring the pipeline projects on board and really functioning

well. we'll see that number dwindling. and if that number dwindle will could see now it has become even you gotta need than the stuff can look at. so becoming independent. and i think it's time right now. so there you can unit itself to have a kind of composition with africa on proper. we're going how we can explore to fewer sustainably bit from that standpoint, to clean energy and climate change. so let's keep off in egypt on monday with leaders from $120.00 states taking part the organizations the secretary general said that the plan is done on the brink of quote, climate. how? one of the main topics on the agenda the conference is addressing the lack of funding for the common cause from western states. a recent reports by climate foundation, carbon brief shows that the u. s. u. k, australia and canada are the leaders in carbon emissions, but fail to pay their fair share,

falling billions shorts. despite these countries being the most vocal supporters of the green narrative, the executive director of the pan african climate justice alliance says that western states all playing musical chairs with the african counterparts when it comes to climate change. their point here is about implementation of the commitment . and that's why we was saying this is apple. before implementation. there are lots of commitments. we could the admin fee up the year, the mandate in glasgow. the mandate a cs. copenhagen. i've never met. what we are saying is, as long as we are not doing this in would to feed as long as we are, we are, we are trying, we are playing, hide and seek game will never to be in this book. this will be late and unless game abuse, cortez come here. come this year. they've got madison that yes,

the house to where the visitors didn't want any kind of you know, documentation, advocacy. and they don't want our voice to reach the international community to see that israel is not democracy. and israel is not defending itself, so instead of making the settlers accountable for their violence, the punished us as the victims of the settler violence. they punished us by closing the house and declared it as a close militarism report. say the decision to define the area as a closed military zone was taken by the brigade commander of these really army. the home which is in hebron is also used as a base for the youth activists settlements activist group, which plays a key role people. people to participate in non violent protests and ro, again says the palestinians will do anything they can to challenge the order. we'll have that as a settlers, we're asking in slunk time to close this house and they are asking to displace the
