new governors for $36.00 states are also to be chosen major domestic issues such as price inflation, abortion access on gun laws, very much in focus. over the last few days, ortiz kill up and takes us through the latest developments, including a controversy about male in votes. 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 male invalid 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. now it's important to note that one hotly contested and widely watch raise as being in arizona where the day there were some issues regarding the voting machines and such, donald trump made

a special message to 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 warranty, 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 online. 7 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 a voting 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 clo, 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 maga. republicans make america great again, republicans who don't exempt the results of the 2020 election. and this is prompted

biden. and others to say that essentially american democracy is somehow under threatened by the distance of these conservatives and their statements regarding 2020 something else. the stake, democracy itself. i'm not the only one who sees it. recent polls have shown an overwhelming majority of americans. believe our democracy, it really is at risk that are mocker, sees under threat. they to see that democracy is about this year and they're deeply concerned about the important to know the job by him is not on the bout. however, the vote is largely seen as a referendum on bite and, and his performance at this point. many. busy indicate that the economy will be a primary factor, and many people go to the pole 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 public opinion polls show that joe 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 who has won around the country in the various races, taking place, kill him up and taking us through the know the integrity of the mid term elections was question before they even begin with accusations coming in from both parties, the other would attempt to commit voter fraud. many of us were warning about the fact that the democrats unilaterally fundamentally altered our voting system. inside 90 days. we warn the state of nevada was just simply not ready to give us a fully fair and secure election. there's no question and been right. widely

reported that there was widespread fraud and irregularities across this country. it's really important for us to get accurate information about the elections process in pennsylvania. so voters in the public know that, you know, when there's delays encountering, it doesn't mean that there's anything various happening. it's just what the law is in pennsylvania in terms of some reaction to all this we spoke to. jewel jewel is the host of the conservative daily podcast. and he sees the u. s. as a larger problem dominates economy. and that is the degradation of society. that we don't just have an economic problem in our country. we have a problem of epic proportions on the degradation of our society in every way, shape and form. but in this battle for the election, i think the american people, if given the opportunity to vote, you'll see not just a redway, but a su nami sweep across the country. but the problem that we have here is that we

have true issues of election fraud. if the problem with a democrat party has always been that they overplay their hand, they're just too greedy. and in this case they've, they pushed it to the place where the propaganda is just not being believed by democrats or republicans. and largely, both parties have been left behind is creating and disruption because people here are starting to realize this just a small group of people that have made themselves look big. and this is, i think, the 1st step in us getting to a place where we can gain some ground back as americans in our own country. terrorism is destroying africa, those direct words coming from the head of zimbabwe. senate, speaking of the african parliamentary union, mabel china, mona was seeking to highlight the ever growing challenges the continent faces. social networks have apparently greatly spread violent extremism in africa with young adults, particularly susceptible service groups, attempt to recruit them online. experts say such platforms are feeling to block extremis content and ensure the safety of users or

t correspondent cannibal luther can tell us 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 fights like facebook being used to new and ready to live and spread the message of violent extremism on the continent. i think this would be a problem in not that not northern virginia where i think the also try to bring up a vehicle using eighty's. so i can see is a problem that they used africa us as our region has been fighting the us also back the studies looking into the use of social media and it's links to online radicalization instead of an african countries all dealing with the rise of

either our sub vocal, wrong, or isolate, while all these extremist groups were found to be using different strategies, they all use twitter, youtube, what's it? but the most commonplace for recruitment was facebook, living with ridiculous so many youth, and that comes out of an employment? no, you would finishes university job and day he met this guy on the doctor's bus on i'm give him some monday, a give us on monday. and you find usually is able to put these guys into the books very easily. young people, the target of unsolicited messages, emanating from a dream is groups from all around the world. but over the last year, they have been a noticeable rise of messages emanating from extremist groups in the east of the continent. and there is a feeling here that social media companies are not doing enough to filter it. like

facebook to employ some policies, regulations. they deploy some blows distributions that will kind of now people present some files from pizza. yeah. not good to what i do as the best one is if you i do not know you we have never made before. i do not have any contact with you. i do not do as my facebook friend, and that has helped me to actually be secure, more and avoided mental health issues in regards to violence. also above the use of the very same platform to publicize a tags, kidnappings and wanting to showcase the power was and raise the profile, is seeming gaining traction of those media groups to tackle all those traits. and to find a means of minimizing that trade associated with the benefits

if we did you right. so we live for them to know how many more expert are you at global tech shines, especially those from the way should be as quick to take responsibility as the to take profit from the continent and that they should be doing mall to make sure that radical group do not carry on. exploiting young people on the continent. got a lead for t enjoy. the european union has been resorting to burning coal despite its profess green energy goals. it follows sanctions against russia leading to natural gas shortages. and while western leaders keep telling, developed countries to push so called environmentally friendly strategies, germany's chancellor said during an address at the un clements summit in egypt, his own nation will not be doing not right now. also runs for data and rushes,

brutal war of aggression on ukraine is forcing us to reconnect coal fired power plants 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. former british p. m. 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 thinking 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 pe, 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, implemented,

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 are trapped in africa, contributes less than 3 percent of the pollution responsible for climate change, but it's most severely impacted by the ensuing crisis. and while the was sens virtues they know 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 said, that's the very definition of hypocrisy on a related scene. south africa and it's western investment partners have launched an $8500000000.00 plan for africa monitors of a potentially lunmark deal for the transition away from fossil fuels, but many, including central african political and economic commented or will car dia phase

that may only lead to arise of a new type of colonialism on the continent. oh, work and countries are running for the continents. and maybe you can install the new colonialism in the continent. all arctic and leader can meet with our eyes. and maybe you can corp, together with the african continent, because we see corporation in the african continent or in the afternoon. the other countries around the world we need maybe we can create is one of the impacts for developing our, our practice. you because you have so many potential. so it's very important for us, it's very important for the african leaders. know about the fusion or tar, the condition, because it's not on our, our benefits. bricks look set to get that's ever bigger.

algeria, africa is largest natural gas exporter, has become the latest country to apply for membership to the grouping. the algerian foreign ministry has submitted membership documents with the bid warmly received by moscow and beijing, 2 of the most prominent bricks. members, that the alliance has recently garnered increasing interest with argentina and iran already applying to join. and the likes, the turkey, egypt and saudi arabia also stating their desire for membership to insidious get the more interest in the global associations very, very high and continues to grow. it's not just how gere argentina and iran, in fact, there are more than a dozen such countries. just some background on bricks. it's an international trade association comprising of 5 major emerging economies, brazil, russia, india, china, and south africa. the total gdp of its members is some $27.00 trillion

dollars on a population of over $3000000000.00 people. 40 percent of the globe, the group appears aligned to compete with the western lead g 7 group of economy, which is a g d p. a $45.00 trillion dollars on a total population of around $770000000.00. we heard from information communication professor at the university about yours who sees the north african country, intends to play a major role in the bricks group. and also as emissions to curb the unique polar world's order promoted by the west. what? because over the position or in the, in africa as was in the word besides that, as you just mentioned, that we have so many important sharla economy. political studies don't show anything more than that because of the, the historical point because i'm the ideal where they should be read the china and russia are about to come in

a through the days of the defendant of julia. therefore, we expect a lot more than that. i want to get the ball and that is of the said, we want to have to get out. so i want you to be to be under what or do we want to have that voice, the voice. and that is, that is the one that i think we aspire to play around with. we did the brakes and the brakes and such is it's part of the union role that i'm getting is the are not you more back to india and some nation that was a 3rd. of course we have the position of shop and so so i think i'm. busy some extent, yeah, they want to have it say in the word, i don't the only 17 companies usaid by didn't well, let's keep attention on africa, the democratic republic of congo as

a nuns to mobilize ation of youth for the national army as clashes with the pseudonyms, m, 23 militant group who are advancing on the eastern part of the country get increasingly violent. of the nation is in danger, and it needs its worthy sons and daughters to serve. it's under the flag to defend the integrity of the territory. the armed forces of the democratic republic of the congo are already recruiting a large number of young people to serve under the flag. as i speak, there are more than 2000 of them and goma alone. the mobilization comes after the countries president address younger citizens last week, calling them to form militia group says, am 23 fighters gang groaned in the eastern parts of the d. r. c. since then, 100 said young congolese decided to join the national army, uses a d r c soldier on some new recruits at the c. o to d north. keep

a promise alone will have more than 3000 candidates who have responded to the call of the head of state so that together we can pull the am 23. and there rondon army allies out of action. i'm. i'm joining the army because my country suffering a lot. we constantly peacefully anymore and that makes me very angry. now this must stop. we will fight in the will be destroyed. well, the general motive i, colin, all the young people to common follow you know, footsteps, all my friends and i look at me. i'm a graduate, but i joined the army because i have faith i left everything and joined the army to fight sushi. while back in march m, 23, or they're known as the congolese revolutionary army as well. started an offensive in north kiva. since then tens of thousands of people have been displaced with the u. n. ringing the alarm in october, and $23.00 intensified their attacks after weeks of come on advanced significantly,

occupying major parts of the province. the crisis has also destabilize relations between central african nations. as the d r. c. government accuses neighboring road one day of supporting the electrons. the rwandan ambassador was also expelled from the company last month. i'm staying with the d. r. c, and other story to bring you a documentary because apparently revealed not a british lobbying company, was paid by a mining firm to swing the 2011 presidential election in the african country. back in 2010, the congress government pulled the permits from canadian mining firm. first, quantum minerals and the company then decided to turn to the san m. c. t group for support. the u. k. lobbying company is cohen by sir linton crosby. now, well known tory strategist with david cameron. teresa may forest johnson among his clients. a d. r. c. politician, we spoke to shared his take on the allegations of british meddling and the african

nations politics. oh, no sunny. this doesn't surprise us because our country did democratic republic of congo. no. he's had a sense of all of this. all those why interested in making a profit to big mining companies that's wanting influence, political decisions in our country often act through these kinds of offices. that's a most cases try to order my elections, which as it turns out i democratic in our country, we are in our 3rd election cycle right now. and every time we have tried to do something like this, they have tried to push through the most controllable candidates in order to get contracts for companies from so called democratic countries. and this is anti democratic because they do not want the voice of the people taken into accounts and all of this for profits. but they're also those who managed to make a profit simply by breaking the law. which is very unfortunate because we are

talking about companies from democratic countries where everything is done in an official way, not through corruption, which is destructive. it is like gang room for our countries for developing countries which need these resources to develop to build hospitals, schools, roads, which we do so desperately need. the palestinian activists have accused this really authority of attempting to strong arm a you and commission of tries to investigate the killing of a journalist during is really military rate. the un commission has been looking into the fatal shooting of palestinian american reporter sharing of who actually, who was covering the raid on a palestinian refugee camp in may. really, authorities have denied responsibility for her death. whereas palestinians have said she was deliberately targeted by israel forces. the un bodya legislative

israel has been blocking its attempts to properly investigate the crime. you know, since we, we began our work, we have been requesting israel to let us in. let us in to the inside the green line, let us you know, into the occupied territories and they haven't given us permission. so if israel has a story to tell if they're stories of children, we would like to go, we can, we will speak to the families report on that. but they have to let us in and they're, they're refusing to do that. meanwhile, more than a 100 scholars of jewish history and holocaust studies from around the world have recently issued a joint letter telling the united nations not to adopt the definition of anti semitism, but they say could be used to label anyone who criticizes israel as quote the semitic the where referring in part to lead to an incident when israel in boston or to the un accused international bodies of bias against the nation.

well as cross live now to political science on international relations scholars. simon, sympathy for his take. simon, pleasure to have you on the program today. what do you make of the un concerns now that's being prevented from accessing places areas to conduct it's investigation does not ring true? well probably isn't, but the military has its own reasons why not to, to lead inside the but in like any kind of government bodies or even some for in duration always very induce in this area. so. ready probably the idea has its own own considerations about it. you think if it wasn't tense up, there would be no problem with you in authorities getting into investigate? well, i think not. but the also you have to understand that many opinions about these

really actions bias highly biased around the world, especially in the european union bodies and other investigation buddies we strive to investigate. this is highly biased opinion. and most of the investigation that we did give a permission to enter the investigations were arriving, and the more you, most of them and it will be all right. so this is the highly biased opinions of decent also and element within the consideration will be living in the things. but yet we saw before didn't we id f investigation said that it was highly likely that miss actually i actually was caleb by is really gunfire. so that in all probability shows that she was killed by israel, whether it was intentional or not. this is the right question. if she

was accidentally cute by the israeli fire, it was absolutely accidental. i personally don't believe that it would be intentionally it targeting computing for forming journalist even publishing angeles a lot and because a completely different missions in the service. so if it, if indeed it was an accident, it was, it was complete the accident. and there, well, you have to understand that when you go on the fire in a conflict zone, you have to take risks. so absolutely, but, but simon is also the other side, isn't there? thought if you're a journalist wearing a journalist here, the soldiers who got the lethal weaponry have to be extra careful not to fatally shoot a journalist as well. there has to be that proportionality as well. of course, doesn't do that. there's, it's not just one side. i agree,

but they're not you and mother i we're in the most dense situations during the war zone. ready so we cannot, we cannot, we can only discuss what has happened and why the social didn't see the signed off d, v on the back of the journalist. but we, we cannot judge the soldiers and these activities because they are in the wars on full. we don't know exactly what happened. oh, absolutely. i agree with throughout the new situation must be performed. but the probably know because the situation is highly dense. news ro, i probably this is, this was one of the main reasons why they didn't get things to get involved if the investigation does take part in the near future. and it is discovered, or they conclude the u. n. a committee concludes that the killing was not an accident. how do you think israel will respond to that and the international

community at large? well, we saw the sort of signed it. oh kind. and all sorts of investigations concluded they're getting called for bonnie senior activities. albany senior a is not the case that the germany 7 q during the conference and also solved interesting issue. did a few of these ro, it depends on, on our story is what do they decide to they decided to want to meet a journalist or not all israel. we decided to make its own investigation. all right, thanks for your time today. we appreciate you coming on the program, political science and international relations expert, simon, where there's a thinker, western disdain for all things russia has been to the for this year. but as our documentary, neck shows, it's nothing you they close for vis a phobia history of hey, it's wrong with

ah .
