tony, at the mercy, the glory of the cheerful leverage of the globe move display of weight. oh, the conflict in ukraine is turned into a test of wills and endurance. and as such, escalation is part of the couch with this is what makes this conflict. so dangerous, when nato escalates russia, we act accordingly. and we know now americans who are on the ground, what could go wrong? a u. s. way similar to wrap up with in the composition of congress. i have the majority of state governors trying to face and a more civilized among with the african community, thousands of violent extremism, florida on social media, with the young people who are online for

germany and russia, bought the western sanction. please put concrete into the cold feel to call to make out here has a 50 applied to join the brits economically. the african gas don't say that they have finalized all the necessary measures. put membership with hello. i welcome to a, from the russian capitalist, just post the i'm glad to have you with this. i'm at my mommy. basically look at the top stories this out. oh, the closing opposed to us in the countries high states, mid term elections, of the main question being. will the republican myers to be present by the request to take control of congress said he's. i've seen in the san as an

o 435 in the house are up for grabs in an intense race, new governance for 36 states. it also to be chosen major domestic issues such as price inflation of bullshit, access, gun laws and votes rights. very much this of the focus that's close now live to neil to ortiz kellem open to bring us the latest of the tabula. this again, what is the latest we know, some polls are close, ran up to speed if you would mind. sure. at this point, the majority of the poles across the united states are close. however, that doesn't mean we're going to be having results soon because of the fact that a lot of male in voting is taking place now. the male in voting has been one of the main sources of controversy. trump supporters who do not accept the results, the 2020 election and maintain it was stolen from donald trump largely point to

mail in ballots that became popular due to the pandemic. they blamed that for what they alleged to be fraud. now it's important to note that in a number of states, they've actually extended the deadline for balance to be counted in michigan and other states. the certification will take much later. so it's likely that we won't have result in many of the races. tonight. we won't know who has one. now, it's important to note that one hotly contested and widely watched rays as being in arizona where the day there were some issues regarding the voting machines and stuff. donald trump made a special message, the voters around the country, but specifically in maricopa county, arizona. don't leave your line, stay where you are. they say that the machines are working and they say that they're running out of paper in different locations throughout different states. there's a lot of bad things going on, stay on the line,

do not leave. i know you don't want to be there as long as they're going to try and force you. they want to delay you out of voting, and you can not let them delay you out of now legal action taken by the republican party in arizona to keep the voting booths open to keep the pulls open, was rejected by the court. so the poles in arizona did close, but it's important to know that in that race you have the secretary of state. katie hobbs, who is the person who oversees the ballot and the voting. you have katie hobbs on the ballot against a trump supported republican carry lake. and so a lot of attention is being paid to that election. and it is, it is carry like the republican candidate who has largely been can down as a quote unquote election deny. or because she did not accept the results of the 2020 election and alleged that in her state of arizona. there was fraud to deprived

from the president. so there's been a lot of a lot of contention and outrage as there are a number of republican candidates who are on the ballot were considered mag, republicans make america great. again, republicans who don't accept the result of the 2020 election, and this is prompted biden. and others just say that essentially american democracy is somehow under threat by the distance of these conservatives and their statements regarding 2020. this is donald trump successor joe, by the remark he made before the public regarding the vote that's taking place. something else is stake. democracy itself. i'm not the only one who sees it. recent polls have shown that overwhelming majority of americans believe our democracy. it really is at risk that mocker sees under threat. they to see that democracy is on the ballot this year and they're deeply concerned about

now it's important to know the job binding is not on the bout. we're not voting for a president in the united states as the mid term election for a new congress for governors, etc. however, the vote is largely seen as a referendum on by and his performance. at this point, many polls indicate that the economy will be a primary factor, and many people will go to the polls to cast their ballot in relation to how they feel about the white house and how they've been managing things over the last 2 years. now joe biden did speak to his supporters. he assured them that if there is major losses, if they lose control of the house and senate, he said he still has the veto pat. and he will be able to block much of the legislation that congressional republicans might put forward. but the whole do indicate there should be major losses for the democratic party, major victories for the republicans tonight. as public opinion polls show that jo

biden's performance is largely unappreciated by the us public. they feel he's not doing the job. the economy is causing a lot of outrage and upset, so we shall see how soon the results come in. but those mailing balance, it could be quite some time before we know officially who has won around the country and the various races taking place. greg k, thanks as always for us, bring this up to speed. was we against in doubt. thanks again for your time. right . right, let's move now of course live now to ross font is fine. go, ross, thanks so much for joining us. and i'll see pleasure. see, have you with us now? we know that these mid terms are going on now. could if the republicans take control of the house or the sun include republican lead congress drastically improve the current situation in the united states. that's going to be the 2 years from now. we're going to have

a presidential watch and in another congressional election. so the struggle that republicans will have after they enjoyed their victory is to propose some such substantive policies that can address the economic issues which are so important for voters. and obviously, as, as your colleague indicated, president biden will use the power of veto for whatever legislation actually gets through congress. and that assumes that republicans were in control of the house in the senate. if the democrats maintain control of the senate, republicans only control their house will even be watch the legislation that gets approved by congress. and also keep in mind, most legislation, other than things having to do with budgets and spending money normally require a 60 vote in the senate. so even if the republicans win 51 or 52 seeds in the senate, which is still on known, it will be very difficult to pass legislation back as through both the house and

the senate. so unfortunately, for american consumers who are worried about inflation, it doesn't look like we could rely on congress to do much regardless of who's in control. interesting to know. but these terms are important because they will reflect on what may happen in a couple of years time, especially, i mean, with these governors being elected, how influential are they at the end of the day? i'm glad you brought that up, but this is such an important point and it's far more important than it was in the past. and the reason is, we see a trend probably say, began in the obama administration and continued into the trump administration, where governors are willing to challenge the federal government, federal government. the president has him warm as power under their executive already to issue regulations about why and in the past governors, even if they didn't like it, they may have accommodated because the cost of challenging it. for example,

in the courts, has a political and financial cause. but we see governors are willing to challenge a president of the opposite party and assuming republicans do very well in the real estate house, the governor elections, which was likely, i think we're going to see a very contentious relationship between governors who are republicans and the white house, whether that's abortion rights, gun control, environmental regulation. and the other interesting trend with governors that we've seen in recent years is there are more willing to have a 8 foreign policy. they're willing to travel, they promote export, they're willing to speak about issues like china or the war and you create and things like that. so very common nowadays for governors to have a foreign policy profile as well. and if they're republicans, and they're going to make things difficult provided on the foreign policy front, while i bring it to my last question, i do appreciate it. not by clarity whose popular ratings have plummeted recently in

the last 6 months. i don't know if they were ever so high in the 1st place, but i mean these, these without being too controversial, obviously, but with these sort of, of the, the, the, the climate now the, the climate of political climate in the us, always seeing a shift in from the blues to the reds. absolutely. but, but remember that the support for democrats, it tends to be isolated in a few large urban areas. san francisco, los angeles, houston, miami, new york city, boston, chicago, detroit, vast parts of the united states consistently have voted for republicans, were increasingly show over recent election. so if you look at those maps that show votes by state, by state, or county by county, whether it's for president or congress or governor vash, parts of the united states, or relatively conservative on social issues. and they don't like the message that

they've heard from democrats in recent years and bad parts of the country still support republicans. and that's a trend that's going to get you new. and the democrats seem very ineffectual. i changing that reality ross as always, great to see again. good. see here in our table to we again soon. no doubt. thanks again for your time. okay, so change gears. lighting up terrorism is destroying africa by some quotes from the president of cimbawe, always senate of the african parliamentary union, highlighting the ever growing challenges that the content faces. now these are concerns of social networks of enabled the spread of violent extremism with young. i don't particularly susceptible as terrorist group try to recruit them online as a mid 5th social media platforms of fooling or failing to block his streaming

content and the secure the safety of uses. all these course wouldn't kind of been a tougher as more insolent penetration of viruses in more, biofuel and technology has been both a gift and for the african continent. they have driven the social, political and economic growth. but social media has also provided a captive audience. and sites like feasible being used to know every ready live and spread the message of violence extremism on the continent. and the eastern part of the continent has been particularly susceptible. i think this problem is not that not northern virginia where i think the also try to bring up a vehicle using these. so i can see is a problem that dave is africa as a, as a region has been fighting governance in the east, in the west of the continent of formulating strict measures to counter the sophistication and the social media heaviness of these groups. the un also back the

studies looking into the use of social media and it's linked to online radicalization instead of an african countries all dealing with the rise of either our sub vocal her on or ice. while all these extreme links groups was found to be using different strategy, they all use twitter, youtube, what that, but the most common place for recruitment was facebook. they've been put ridiculous so many years. and that comes to the side of unemployment. no, a youth finishes university, another job. and then jimmy, just go underneath the doctor's person and we'll give him some money you last on monday. and your client is able to put these guys into the books very easily in university classrooms and internet cafes. young people are the target of unsolicited messages emanating from extremist groups from all around the world. but

over the last year, there have been a noticeable rise of messages emanating from extremist groups in the east of the continent. and they have a feeling that social media company, i'm not doing enough to filter it out like this book to employ some policies and regulations did deploy some loss or the tradition start good kite. now, people on prevent some fun at some clips which are not good to property. what i do as a person is if you, i do not know you, we have never met before. i do not have any contact with you. i do not as my facebook friend in that has helped me to actually be secure, more and avoid mental health issues in regards to violence. un back study as found that out about has found online messaging a challenge as it got these centralized and with more independent voices,

but also abuse of the very same platform to publicize a tag kidnappings and wanting to showcase their power. and leave me a profile. it's been gaining traction with responsibility even to this training class of what they did the commission. they make you believe that the governments of all the make you believe because you wanted to make sure that a day you really had to go list. so by the time the come in now the beginning on monday, what to do to make a duty on these other. and that's the problem that we will have. you would not have the owners of those social media platforms or groups to tackle all those traits on board to train. it means of minimizing the traits associated with the a hot jellies they've been if it is important that you're right. so it's live for them to know how to exit with agree that countering the rise of radical recruitment,

extremism and terrorism on the continent should be in africa wide strategy. and while strengthening communities of civil societies is key, many more expert argue a global can giant, especially those from the west, should be as quick to take responsibility as they are to pay sits on the continent . and that they should be doing more to make sure that radical groups do not carry on exploiting young people on the continent. garrett will attach for anti angeles wires to our attention to climate change their news. now the e u has been resorting to burning coal despite it proves breast green energy goals are that sanctions against russia have led to natural gas shortages. and while worsley's keep coming to work, countries to go green. germany is a chance of us,

confirmed his own nation will not be doing that right now. during his address at the you inquire at summit in egypt was land po tyler and russia's brutal war of aggression on ukraine is forcing us to reconnect coal fired power plant to the grid for a short time. but we are firmly committed to the coal phase out. so as germany continued to portray itself as a leader in the war on climate change. in reality, it arrives at the conference losing its reputation as a fighter for renewable energy. back in september, germany is competent, made a u turn, passing to decrease, to prolong the operation of sizeable hard coal fired power generation plants up to 2024. and to bring back brown coal capacity up to 2023 to boost supply for my british pm. boris johnson, meanwhile, claims the world needs to double down on the net 0 admission goal. i am the

spirit of glasgow. some people have drawn the conclusion that the whole project of net 0 needs to be delayed. and we need to re open coalfields and frack the hell out of the countryside. this is not the moment to abandon the campaign for net 0 and turn our backs on renewables. but that's not exactly what johnson said before. in fact, under him as prime minister, britain returned to burning more fossil fuels. and back in may of this year, he was singing a very different tune. i don't think we can turn our backs entirely on hydrocarbons . the u. k. actually has the flourishing sector in the northeast of scotland. it's very important. we've got to keep that going. and consequently, african leaders have called out how western countries continue to take pay, how they must switch to green energy and fight climate change. despite the fact that africa produces the least emissions but faces the most consequences,

against this backdrop, the lengthy discussions at cops with its stalling delaying tactics and procrastination that have hampered implement ation and delivery is simply cruel and unjust. we cannot afford to spend more time skirting around the real issues and break out of the open ended process focus discussions. we're trapped in africa, contributes less than 3 percent of the pollution responsible for climate change, but it's most severely impacted by the suing crisis. and otherwise sense, virtuous thing knows about fighting climate change, yet relies on developing nations in africa to bear the burden of it. all. europeans are going back to burning dirty coal, while blaming everything on russia. some critic state, that's the very definition of hypocrisy. why south africa and has a worse, an investment, foreigners of law is an 8 and a half $1000000000.00 plan for africa. potentially landman deal for the transition

away from fossil fuels. central african political and economic commentator wilka dia says, this may only lead to the rise of new colonialism on the african conference. o western countries are running for the continent in maybe it can insult a our eyes and maybe you can corp together with the african continent 1st. because if you have a corporation in the african continent or in other countries around a lot, maybe we need maybe we can create it, one of the impacts late people up in our economy, our country because you have a so it's very important for us. it's very important to know about the creation or target position here,

because sometimes it's not on our our benefits. right. north african that bricks is said to get a little bit bigger. i'll jerry are because the largest natural gas i for the, as we can the legs of country to apply some membership to the block. well, during form 3 has submitted membership documents with the bid warmly received by moscow and beijing. 2 of the most prominent members, bricks has recently gone, increasing interest without argentina already applied, and the lives of to the kia egypt and saudi arabia. switching, their desire to join insidious go to more interesting was global associations, very, very high over and continues to grow to be such as al jerry argentina, and iran, in fact, are more than a dozen such countries are. thank you. a series of background knowledge about the brit street brakes is a developing international economy block,

which compromises of brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. the social gdp of its members is around $27.00 half trillion dollars. with a population of about 3200000000 people. now the group appears aligned to compete with the western lead g 7 group. i made an economist, which is a g, d p, a $45.00 trillion dollars and a total population of about $75000000.00. now we heard from a professor at the university of algiers, who says the north african country intends to play a major role in the bricks group. and also has a vision of the unipolar world order promoted by the west. what? because over the vision or in the, in africa as was in the word besides that, as you just mentioned, that we have so many important sharla. well, so surely the economy, political going to study don't show anything more than that because of the,

the historical i'm the party because i'm the ideal where they should be read the china and russia. let's come to the days of the funding for julia. therefore, we expect a lot more than that. i want to hit the button that said we want to know how to get out of the stuff i want you to be under what we want for the better voice. the 3rd voice observed, what is the one that is looking for we aspire to play a role within the big and the brakes and such is the union role that i'm getting is that the are not you for more balance of india and so much and that was a 3rd of course we have the position of shop and so so. busy some extent they want to have a say and they were doctors,

i don't know on the when companies usaid by why is that? if i saw now, when tensions have risen in the wake of the shoes in that wound the previous, the out, the prime minister iran con, during a rally, his civil does a demonstrate in some cities, as they then fangled over what the decision has cooled and the fascination attempt by the government has a local reporter with more. this is the mosque, busiest roared in drama, bindy garden. but it or, and you can see these protesters by the last 48 dod. these supports up here. i'm con. on sit in progress. they have blocked it or the traffic is not allowed from both sides of the door. and dab forecasting because it jen run. a police case has not been registered assassination attempt on inbound con. yesterday,

the supreme court off like hassan ordered the police steve off the largest promise off one job. so that is a case within 24 hours. today, the police steve, his response to the supreme court and he has said that the case has been decided, but we d, i name it on the con, has the fuel still accept this f i r m a don con said that if it's prostate gun f i e r. and the dorm accepted because im non con has nominator good. we process one, the prime minister step by city. second, the data and minister of ins and our law had the 3rd made the agenda, iowa site. mr. fess on received these 3 names off. the suspects are not written in the police. i yacht. so they say that how fair tried any possible investigation is not possible for the police i yup. these protest across the

country will continue until the police, the distance, a general legal case to investigate this matter. i me the lock on id, but i would have been deep august dot com said he knew about the plaza, giving cindy full the actual assassination. i sent took place. it would've been done. i was a form to day prior to going to the march that they were planning to kill me in was year abad or goose rot. there was a message on march 6th or 7th that the u. s. under secretary of state, had commanded the pakistani ambassador there to remove me or else pakistan would have problems the very next day. there was a no confidence motion against me. the election commission did all sorts of rigging for the new government. the military has become quite used to steering the people of this country. they were shocked that this time the nation decided not to go with them. that is exactly why the public came to the streets. mail our submitted his essay,

mangano clay le parkinson's government plotted to kill him. a note credible and de ville monday, a cnn report. so demanded evidence from con, but seemed unwilling to let him develop it. and his response, what's your evidence? ah, what becky or about 2 months ago this brought was conceived arizona, and we miss judges. i did with respect to asking for the evidence behind these allegations. i am, well, it's not a man's job to provide evidence. anybody is the security union see them investigative institution? to investigate and move into the matter rather than asking anybody we've been victim of definition of them. so the approach of the western media is not right towards that. there is no doubt about the dual standard and hypocrisy of the rest in body. we have seen in the measures of wand when it was palace dying, thea, moneys dunbar, are you here?

so there is no doubt in all the measure that is freedom of speech, or whether they talked about julianna's on edward snowden or the pakistan. again, it's been killed in kenya, so there is a heap of crazy everywhere we have seen in europe and american policies. and in terms of a diplomatic cipher was true. and that's what iran file is saying that next have a probe into it. and if there is anything, you know, i doubt that should come in the public rather than making an assumption by the euro, because it is not going into their favor. i believe that everything has to be investigated, rather than having that conclusion of your choices. that's the tank which europe needs to understand best and what needs to understand. ah, what a so we are born wrapper known as shock, who is now a german citizen, as all russian authorities to grant him political asylum. he claims that a criminal case has been opened against him for allegedly approving of

a war crimes. this was presuming provoked by complaints about his treat, reflecting his stars in support of the russian military operation, which call the attention of the german police. as i'm only a german citizen, i can't go to fight in ukraine, but that doesn't prevent me from helping russia and those who are fighting for it. i can be more useful by supporting the morally and financially. we've made a backup copy of the tweet and sent it to the saxon state criminal police office for review. we spoke to the zillow about, the situation is now sucking. he moody that this development was inevitable because in germany, people who does the speak out a largely prosecuted yarborough read and thought it was, i was sure the one day would backfire against me. i left in may realizing that either i would sit there and keep quiet my or i would have big problems you know, began when people started threatening me through private text messages. so someone leased my home address.
