a proxy, a professional and video to work, prep a list of all, but yet with ah, with russia and india focus on energy stability as well as a multi poll approach to global security. as moscow host indian foreign minister for key high level for the use economic powerhouse in germany admit this, been forced a bit more cold due to cutting down on the russian fuel impulse. that's why western countries keep light trim, developing nations on going green also in the program, american gear up 14, mid term elections with the countries economic crisis. the main concern for many. meanwhile, for the ruling democrats,

mich support for ukraine overshadows domestic worries with it's just going to 3 pm here in the russian capital. i'm pete just thought when his how the world looking this tuesday afternoon. welcome to the program. india is the foreign minister who's in moscow for folks. how's cold fall? close the cooperation with russia, amid what he calls a stressful situation on global energy markets. ortiz dakota was the ministers media conference. what do you see as the intent of the west, specifically the united states in pressuring india for these relations? what stance will india take in the future towards russia as a result of this pressure? and what does new delhi think about the western calls to establish a price cap on russian oil exports? the fact that i'm here to day with a delegation to review our co operation,

to see how we can take it forward to create a long term sustainable basis. i think says most of all, i think you can see the obvious interest and commitment i would hat in keeping that relationship stronger instead are as regards or, you know, or the, or the oil supply issue. we're not that is, that is her. i've been, 1st of all, there is a stress on the energy markets. it is our fundamental obligation to ensure that the indian consumer has the best possible access on the most advantageous terms to international market. and in that respect are quite honestly, we have seen that a d. indian russia relationship has worked to advantage less cross live now to ortiz, donald called. so he stood just outside the foreign minister reception hall in moscow, where the press conference took place. don,

thanks for joining us again. can you tell us what the main takeaways are from that meeting between the foreign ministers? sure, peter, well, as you said, that was that clip we just saw was the indian foreign minister's response to a question that i was lucky enough to ask at the press conference that came after his meeting with the russian foreign minister, sir g. a lab rob, i wanted to know what india was planning to do in the face of increasing western pressure for its friendly relations with russia. and if new delhi would join in on the western calls for a price cap on russian oil exports. but based on the indian foreign ministers response, it looks like india is not really buying into that. he reiterated that russia and india have long, had very close relations and met new delhi relies on moscow to provide the indian people with affordable energy. now we also heard from the russian foreign minister, sir g, a lab, rob, who said that the talks were very successful. he said that he talked a bit about plans on the russian side to provide india with clean atomic energy,

as well as plans to increase the trade volume between the 2 countries in the future . let's take a listen. liberty as we welcome the positive dynamics solve bilateral trade by september, the trade grew in comparison with the last year or more than 130 percent . it reached almost $17000000000.00 and we are confident that the goal that was sat by our leadership to bring their annual trade for number $230000000000.00 power plant and further steps in this direction. for example, new side for the nuclear power plant designed by the washing specialist will help india to get saved energy. we also talked about the military cooperation, including a joint manufacturing on the state of the art weapons and space exploration as well satellite navigation. it was

a science 3, so it looks like what foreign minister circ a live or offset about these talks about them being successful was correct. and the decades long friendly relations that russia and india have enjoyed will continue to persevere despite the fact that around the world, there's quite a 10 geopolitical landscape right now. she used to keep the 14 summer dawn. thank you very much for breaking down the key points for those high level talks between those 24 minutes to thank you very much. as the midterm elections in the united states gets underway by didn't public approval rates in employment to an historic low that's according to a poll conducted on the eve democrat concerns that they will lose the majority in congress. the election could see around one 3rd of us congressional sentences of

votes it out while in the lower parliamentary chamber, the house of representatives, all 435 seats on the ballot. new governance for $36.00 states will also be chosen on tuesday, as well as new sections of states who are responsible for further elections. major domestic issues such as abortion, access, and gone, and voter rights are also very much in focus. many us media outlets have been echoing biden's claims that us democracy is at risk and prompted 5th, the republicans could take control of congress as well as drawing parallels or the possible red wave that the u. s. citizen seem not to share such concerns. when asked, what motivates the vote was most americans say that domestic problems are the top concern in the upcoming election battle drives every thing. 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 could 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 poll, 79 percent of americans say they're voting decision will be driven by economic issues, name and domestic problems, as their biggest concern. now says washington recently approved a $400000000.00 aid package to ukraine. women in fermi 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 that 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 greens, when you actually 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 raytheon another military contractors are making a killing. but the american people are suffering. is anyone now shocked with the public is fuming? is argued by money to ukraine. i have every way, disrespect to you because you're the 1000 equation with 80000000 cray again, 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? how 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 and europe, ukraine 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 trafficking. now, we've inflation gas prices out of control. i mean, that's our with 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, american 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 our binding 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. caleb martin, r t, new york. but during the recent press saw, joe biden was asked if washington's ready to negotiate with russia and help and the conflict and ukraine. the president appeared to brush off the questions, and 2 people, demanding answers were squatted out. and i had hoped to

get it over with. 7 you don't see a lot. i could not be what the room is joining with different geopolitical stuff just on us state department, consultant johnson deleted. well, he says that despite concern for ukraine, the american public still puts its own needs. first. a most americans are being pulled is 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 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 ceiling, the border and providing for control of our sovereign territory as the united states of america. by far the top story this, our now india's foreign minister has called for deeper corporation with russia during his visit to moscow. to discuss this, let's now cross live to geopolitical unlist on author. don't mclean, gail don,

thank you very much for finding the time to join us today. thank you so much for having me. it is a true pleasure, though. the pleasure is all i was just, i just saw was your assessment of these talks between russia and india. and the call for even deeper cooperation between the 2 countries. right, thank you and very timely. indeed, you know, the visits objectives are multi pronged and multi dimensional and compasses politics, economics and defense in the context of bilateral ties, regional affairs, and the overarching security architecture of the international system. now, india and russia continuously engage in a series of multilateral institutions. the g 20 bricks, s e o r i c. hence discussions will also incorporate the enhancement of india, russia, partnership in the context of the frameworks. defective me address a series of issues and possibly contribution toward the transitioning, multi polar international order, particularly in the eastern hemisphere. so this is what we can see as

a projection of the time tested and practical partnership between india and russia . so on surprisingly, energy has been a key topic of discussion between the 2 countries. and i believe versa recently overtook the lights of saudi arabia and iraq as the main supply of oil to india. do you think we're going to see further and more deeper integration between the 2 countries in the energy 5th? well, thank you for that question. there are 2 things that we have to understand in terms of india's perspective. one is that india is a rising, great power and energy fuels the continuous rise of any states. hence, it is necessary for india to make sure that it change unhampered supply of oil. oil at a price that is of course, fitting for its growing demand. and i do not think that it should be in anyone's interest to constrain the growth of the states that has the capacity to contribute

positively towards the international system. second, india is well aware of its responsibility is the government's primary responsibility is to its people and to the overarching national interest and security interest. a one of the most challenging geopolitical neighborhoods that india is faced with. it will have to balance this of course, and we could definitely see more proactive cooperation with india, russia, particularly the energy sphere as well. no. it's. it's no secret that many western countries, particularly the united states, have been applying a certain amount of pressure on india to condemn russia and his role in the war ukraine. india has refused to do this so far. do you think we're going to see any reaction from the west? so these latest developments today and yesterday, and this, this, this visit to russia by the indian foreign minister. right. thank you. we have to understand that india's contribution is to emphasize the need to create corporate conditions to motivate parties involved,

to get back into the negotiating table particularly so india does not believe that adding more fuel to the fire, provoking or cutting off any possibility of dialogue would be beneficial, in fact, that would exacerbate the situation at the expense of the developing world and external affairs minister doctor j shanker. has rightfully echo the sentiments of prime minister will be what is a meeting with president put in a couple weeks back. so it is in this context, we can see that the overarching definition of the india, russia strategic partnership, will be to emphasize the points that need to be in the need to be addressed. but at the same time, grades that positive and proactive atmosphere for more engagement that would benefit of course, the international system will talk in a little bit about the international system and into institutions obviously of russia and india. a both members of the seo, the members of bricks. do you see them expanding in the near future?

and do you think that some countries in organizations in the west could possibly see this as a threat to the traditional dominance? well, you know, looking at it from the international political point of view, it is natural for a traditional ours to be wary, particularly with such shifts in a global distribution of power. but then again, this is the reality that you're in, we're transitioning towards multiple already, particularly in asia. and as we can see, countries throughout asia would want to take part in such institutions that you have rightfully mentioned, particularly to get their voice across, in terms of addressing a number of geopolitical economic issues. and to put their voice into this particular discussion. so we could definitely see that there would be more states that would want to engage within these institutions, which would need that to its expansion. but then again, we have to wonder span that of course, politically motivated discussions that also take place. what matters now is that

engagement should occur for peace and stability, particularly an asian the eastern hemisphere. because that is now the center stage of global politics. my favorite good after leaving, but geopolitical unless dom mclean, gill absolutely fascinates and get your thoughts on those flourishing relations between russia and india. thank you very much. thank you so much. our protests have raged across pakistan for 4 consecutive days after an opponent assassination at them on 4 pm in ron con. last week, this comes as the country supreme court ordered police to investigate the shooting . a local journalists brings us more details. after 4 days when former prime minister, enron khan was attacked in missouri, but then he was leaning the lat long mark towards capitelli slammer. but today, the supreme court of pakistan has ordered the police seat of the largest paris f. one job to register the case against the attackers within 24 hours. in the

meanwhile, into an 4 days, the protesters and supporters of what i'm con, dad, they protested across the country in our major cities. even today they were out on straits. there was anger that they were had for it. i guess the government and the military or body in his will. you will take revenge for him or on kong. it doesn't matter if the march continue, sir, and you firm on con this, he or not. all children will answer their houses and apply them like they did tell many more will you kill, how many more will you burn alive? we are here, come and kill us. we will die for our country. we will step forward for him. ron con, we will march for him, ron khan. already a man. i want to warn all federal institutions and the government stopped this one day. you will have to answer for this the about the morning. the rest of the for a plea, man suspects one is the primary. so run is the into there. melissa. not that is the hot scene that are me off. he said had implant cameras are raising serious quest as

he has in his press conference yesterday when he was asking the judicial system for the justice. so that today the supreme court has ordered the case must be the district within 24 hours. the long mass will again, start from over 0 brought on tuesday and it will go to the fest labarte. and then it will come back to islamabad in 2 weeks out 3 weeks. so im duncan is recovering. he has been shipped to his home, but the other leaders of the p t. their, they will lead to protest, and later inland con will join them. i mean, the luck on our tv is slow about pakistan over to west africa now, where tensions are also on the rise in garner and stuff to anti government protests . a ropes had over record high fuel and fuel prices. his also locals on the street had to say about that is are too high. we are starving and we have rough copies that people can buy medicine can. okay,

right. we have the most expensive a new we have to come out and put that gun in and have had enough. it has been 30th of mismanaging of a nation. we have been land our resources, everything that we have has been misappropriated, misappropriated by a political elite. but if 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 that bread i and people are talking, we are looking. and i mean, i don't want him to get crowds. so to the street to rally against the government mismanagement and call for the resignation of the president. protest is also demanded an ent ongoing faults for the i m f, which the president hopes would help overcome the economic downturn. but it does clash with his earlier pledge of a know age policy. gone and journalist winston,

saki says, an i m f. loan would not say the country from a full blown recession. currently the janice economy has so fe, significantly cease the early this year and i was trained to to that has been applauding. plunging the country to a full blown economic procession. inflation rose 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 more than twice or fisher, it possibly as high as 98 percent. our debt level has increased. so astronomically 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 die miss wil you must and 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 us in a recall show the un secretary has urged countries at this year's climate change summits in egypt to work together to prevent future generations from climate catastrophe. however, some european leaders continue to blame russia for their failed attempts to switch to green energy. let's cross alive now to sunday. more pe, the red crosses humanitarian diplomacy coordinator in south africa sunday. thank you very much for finding the time speakers today. good afternoon to you, peter. good afternoon. it's a pleasure to join. you know, the, a lot of western countries have been pushing africa to adopt a more green agenda. how much of a priority is this for africa at the moment, given? obviously, other issues such as food shortages and drought. thank you. thank you peter. i

think african is more than anyone they understand and appreciate the value of transitioning to to clean energy, to green energy. this is because i think the consequences of climate change that africans are witnessing dia at the moment. we are, for example, looking at nigeria with unprecedented liberal flooding that has seen 3 out of 37 states affected, submerged in water, some 390000 pictures of land were cultural land that is submerged, which obviously is going to impact our food security now. but also in the future, beyond nigeria, we're also looking at at least $23.00 countries across africa. i 1st see that i will now watch these people who insecurity when really into the whole of africa, where we have at least 22000000 people literally right now in the clutches of starvation. if not, it actually is taken. and so that whole conversation on green energy is an

important one for africa. what we do understand what the consequences are boy damaged planet because of greenhouse gas emissions. what do you think the effect has been supported enough to switch to green energy? well again, we are human nature and organization. augustine very much focused on not addressing the humanitarian consequences of climate change. so the political conversations that are happening, for example, now at the club, $27.00 are critical. and africa actually does have green energy, as it's all priority, a contributing to climate action in terms of the support we are obviously calling for better climate financing to ensure that african states are really supported in that transition on green energy. but also on that optician agenda. now there's been a lot of discussion in the media. obviously there's the ongoing conflicts in ukraine. and gus supplies from russia to europe have been severely reduced on

europe to a certain extent. has been looking to africa to replace some of those fossil fuels . do you think some sort of level of double standards? there were the west hospice, eunice, and green agenda. and obviously africa is interested in this one of the same time going to africa for some of his fossil fuels. i think for the africa region that the little conversation that is shifting. i was in the top about last few weeks where the african union posted member states to discuss the climate agenda, but more within the frame of increasing security on the continent. energy yes is part of the agenda, but there's also a lot of conversation to start to look in what's on the continent to focus on how africa can better improve its own production. so that i think external forces as, as we are seeing now with the conflict in ukraine and the impact that, that has had one price is having on humanitarian impacts. again on the people that

have more fun ripple. and i've contributed very little to climate change. so that green agenda that i think is a big political push at the club. he's an important one for africa and i think it's the owner is on the african political lead us to ensure that they negotiate and take this conversation in a way that benefits africans, particularly the poor and most vulnerable that are impacted by the ongoing climate crisis. and just talking a little bit about the red cross. are you coping with these disasters? basically you've outlined the floating to starvation. how you're dealing with us. we are struggling. i think the finances, as i mentioned, the climate finance i think needs to be addressed at the current cope. 27 in egypt . we hope that africa hosting the climate negotiations on the continent will bring to the for those issues that are really, really,

really if i reach for the continent, like i mentioned, we have seen nigeria, if you're kenya, somalia. but right at the start of this year, we saw him on the desk of, for example, that's so at least 5 tropical storms within a period of 6 weeks. and i was at the backdrop of dealing with climate induced drugs as well. mozambique zombie as in bob way, we saw again the impacts of the flooding situation in different destroy property and infrastructure was billions of dollars and if not. and so this is a priority for the continent, the humanitarian consequences, a massive. and i think for us as a humanitarian organization, we are calling on global leaders to ensure that that conversation on climate finance really does translate into tangible solutions. and that the money really does start to flow to communities and most in by this crisis. well let's hope that's happened some really dire situations you describe.
