you know, the most with going through from the city of has on i made is that he's plenty of tax on the local dime, put cool, catastrophic flooding with joe blood and refuses to compromise on his controversial policy making this quite a public outrage leading to the support for political rivals in the mid term election. plastic issue, we quit in feel our a lane and ocean link feels like that. all of it wasn't going to do that after the dumping ground for millions of tons of plastic and then

national leaders back. com promoting eco friendly agenda. a hello and welcome to all the international broke off in life from the russian capital. it's just part of the, i'm glad to have you with us. i'm at the time army. let's take a look at the top choice. this out. we start with the latest news from the embattled harris on region. russia said it's withdrawing troops, regional capital and other locations on the right bank of the nipper river. avoid potential unnecessary losses among its forces. brickle boy, my boy said, isabel, somebody anthem the enemy is firing randomly at the city. for this reason, it was decided to evacuate the population from the right side of the river. we provided everything possible to ensure the evacuation the plans of the enemy to create flooding of territories can lead to dangerous consequences. this is

confirmed by the constant shelling of the co hob sky hydro electric power station. under these conditions, the most appropriate option is to organize defenses along the line of the denice river. that was a red flooding could occur if the cranium forces succeed in destroying a critical dam near the city. the high wall so would also complicate suppliers which are used to bring food to the russian army as well as local residents, eliminating the tao it also jeopardized fresh waters applies to the neighboring crimea region. ross's defense minister, saggy show you has supported the withdrawal an order the creation, the new line of defense is the situation. of course, much of the frontline has been reported as increasingly stable with russian forces intercepting around 80 to 90 percent of incoming. you 20 rockets, commander of the russian military operation says that the quinn army lost around $12000.00 soldiers last month alone, about 8 times more than the russian losses. as for the civilians in the reclaimed

areas, i am combat zones. they continued it's for support for russian authorities, and that fact has been recently confirmed, even by the opponents, several as of battalion fighters, who admitted to brothers and media outlets of the majority of the population of don bus and especially of cities like a marable uproar, russian does this up percent of the 60 percent of people were pro russian. they wanted to go to russia the same as in donna's and logan square. there has always been a large pro russian part of the cities and 20 percent. were those who supported us and said guys, thank you for protecting us and things like that. this is the only thing i know is that 70 percent of people marry you, paul, supported the russians. the new russian wrinkles have an approximate population of 7000000 people. and figures show almost 3000000 have left the area for rushes at the start of the war. the chief editor of m v mediate janice put couldn't says that

widespread support and don boss from austin was obvious years ago. and it's a pos is the numbers. knowledge by the as of fighters. we have to remember that these region bolted out in 2014 with 95 percent of the population wanted independent donates people's republic in mario paul. so that the numbers are seriously underestimated in 6 to prison. oh, certainly should be a knowledge that good to mario fall is a russian city and belongs to the russian federation as well. and go giving a voice for the eyes of fighters. he's a blurry thing, ando. but, but there are, there are, there are sites in the story. and, oh, good thing is that the, that they also show the weakness of their fairy tales. when

i turn our attention to the mid sounds in the earth, and joe biden has refused to even consider changing the direction of his presidency . despite admitting that the american public is dissatisfied with the path washington the sanctum, while sharing his relief, what the projected read, waive didn't happen. voters spoke clearly about their concerns. they are still frustrated. i get it. what in the next 2 years you intend to do differently? nothing. i'm not gonna change the direction the same and causes a vote counting in the nation as high stakes. mid term elections continues, rains a thin brief taking place for the control of the senate. while the republican party is still projected to win a slim majority in the us house of representatives across la mows, where our new york correspond, kellum open kelly. good to see if x would drives out what the present by and have to say about the lectures and what were the highlights of his speech. well,

joe biden referred to the election that took place tuesday as a victory for democracy. you said it showed that the american electoral system and the american democracy is still well intact. he went on from there to refer to most of the republicans saying that they're good that he's willing to work with why to change. and how folks will recall that in the lead up to the vote that happened on tuesday biden was talking about democracy being at stake, a threat to democracy was talking about the election. what about election deniers on the republican side of the aisle? and he was talking about how, even if they didn't lose control of the congress, he still had the veto. can quite an interesting change in town from by now, by and also said there was no russian interference in this election despite the fact that in the lead up to the vote. that happened tuesday,

there was all kinds of hysteria in us, mainstream media about bots and trolls. and suppose russian meddling that might influence the results and possibly cause the republicans to win and have a sweeping victory. now, at this point, it looks like there were a significant victory for the republicans, but it wasn't the full on red wave that many had predicted. so you wonder about these statements from by that there was no russian interference. is that related to the fact that the results were not as bad for his party as you may have anticipated? but regardless, it's important to take note that the american people are heavily polarized. these are some folks in ohio who gave us their assessment of where the country staff i think the climate extremely polarizing across the board. again and kind of scary where we fan, unfortunately, a 3rd of the country doesn't care about the facts, the truth, the honesty and never going to get in the way of what they want to believe. now

74 percent of americans say they feel the country is moving in the wrong direction . and prior to the vote, 71 percent of americans said that they felt that democracy was under threat. and donald trump and his supporters have raised quite a bit of outrage about the voting machine problems that took place in michigan as well as in arizona. meanwhile, in the democratic side, there is continued talk of voters, depression and arguing that the result in georgia are the result of law. they feel were unfairly passed with the intention of suppressing voters, so on both sides were hearing doubt and criticism of the american electorate. but that's not what we heard from joe biden. today, he called the election that took place a victory for democracy. he said there was no russian interference. joe biting is wrapping things up and saying he's willing to work with most republicans that he can consider to be good. so this is the change in tone. we've heard from the white

house. excellent. ok. they've always applies that kind of answer. bring us up to speed. thanks again. bye cross live now to form a c i, a analysts, larry dozen in the states. now, thanks for joining us here. now, before the midterm biden, deborah said, republicans, if the republicans got control of the congress, he uses veto power. you know, just to know, to negate any legislation. he doesn't like. what do you make about that statement? well, let's go back that there was a lot of, let's call a propaganda before the election. want to raise the expectation so high that if the republicans didn't have a suit, nami didn't wipe out the senate, didn't wipe out the house of representatives, and it was a loss. the reality is that the republicans will regain control of the house by

a larger margin than nancy pelosi had over the last 2 years. that means the 2nd person in line to become president, should joe biden fall should come all i harris fallout is kevin mccarthy. a republican, so i think biden is trying his best, but this reality else there was at the site of the battle and the 74 percent of americans that are unhappy with the direction they d l is much hayden yet. states that i think up next month, which will make as much i'm wearing slight technical difficulties. can you hear me okay though larry? yeah, i hear you far. i great. okay. i mean, well joe biden, he, i mean, he said i hated the elections. the repub republicans were a threat to democracy. he softened this rhetoric, saying, quote,

most people are decent people. i mean, was the reason for this shift? well, that didn't, all of this goes back to 2016 when russia was portrayed as the bogeyman was rushing interference. that was of donald trump only one because of russia. the crafts have a long history of blaming others and accusing making accusations about fraud. if they don't win, when there was actual evidence of fraud and the problems with the body machines that glossed over bite and is not in full possession of his faculties and that, and that's part of the problem there as well. he is constantly making verbal missteps and saying things off the cuff that the wiser leader would not say so we are having technical issues. i'm afraid larry will try and push through it

and we know that back back to biden's, talk about the republicans being a threat to democracy. the u. s. likes that so other countries, how to even, you know, conducted democracy. but now the president is saying that, you know, if the rival political party comes into power, very institution is a stake. what do you make about? yeah, it's, it's an american, it's an democratic. the reality is that this is a 2 party country of sorts. and that all the, the make strategy has been sense by quote one, the white house has been to completely discredit the republicans to, to claim that the republicans are involved with insurrection. to claim that any thing that the republicans did to oppose a bite and policy was designed to subvert democracy. it's just, it's really a, it's an evil evil approach. my last question,

how these mid term elections increase the political polarization in the us? yes, that is. there's no healing going on and i think the future direction of politics in the united states are going to depend heavily upon what happens to the economy, both domestically and internationally, as well as what goes on in the field of foreign affairs. especially with regards to the war and ukraine and with the state of taiwan. does the united states is fully adopted, a lot of bellicose rhetoric, and instead of building partnerships across the world, united states to be a fierce isolate. so larry, thanks again for joining us here. i feel as opposed to say, well ok, let's move on now to africa. now the global plastic to fuel industry is set to

expire by the end of 2026, furthering the green agenda as the field market research focus, but still classic, overwhelms africa, which is being used as a gigantic dumpsite for the waste from the western countries. correspondent covered a tattler as the story. plastic is ubiquitous. it fills our air, land, and oceans and landfills like this are full of it. from i this current tooth brushes, shoes, clothes, t, v remote, you name it. if the plastic world. but africa is faring better than is global counterparts. and according to the u. n. environmental program, the continent produces the least amount of global plastic ways. and most of our ways is also organic. so where does this come from reliever people talk about

blessing input, the decision to south africa, the only being economic benefit that it has for the country, the environment that is not even be discussed at the stage 20 companies are said to be responsible for more than half of the global single use plastic waste and none of them are in africa. and according to the 2021, plastic waste makers index in the global not that produces and creates this global plastic use crisis. an average american or a united kingdom citizen will produce about a 100 kilograms of plastic waste annually. now one responsibility do they, bay to the global wasteland they've created. this is mainly supposed to benefit the county her because we don't death,

most of the plastic that we supposed to have in south africa to make products as global scientists and climate negotiators need in egypt to hegel over who does what and what caused the world, continues to produce some 300000000 tons of waste. and really 9000000 tons of plastic waste ends up in our oceans. but i figure produces $18000000.00 tons of plastic waste and a range of 0.5 percent per capita daily. far less than the global average, but african states are plagued by the lack of effective waste management systems in environmental management. we usually talk about the beach and in your and i know in south africa enough in a lot of other c as as well. but a preventative approach is be to the last thing to do for mitigation strategies at

the end of it. so if we look at how we can avoid the problem and instead of trying to see what we can do once the problem is so that we don't have enough money or enough resources to mitigate the problem, i think it could be better for us. some africans have come up with a plan than i'm with ira works with can sign is collections and not for profit company in the education space. they turn plastic into briggs and they saw this plastic from where ever we can get it at times. even buttoning with locals in exchange for stationary and such items, plastic that would otherwise be filling the air, polluting the water systems, and causing diseases. when people been plastic in the community because they've got no way to damp it, it causes in people breathe it. it causes type 2 diabetes,

it causes cancer and it also causes aging. so those are the main hazards that one can think of. but besides that, it, when it goes into our water, it also causes our problems is fire is water. animals our content like your fish and things like that. and then when they hit the plastic, we end up eating that fishing baby into perfecting as his will from hill to point or fuel. plastic is cut into smaller bits, is put into a 2 liter bottle and the must all way between 550 and 600 grams. and before you know it, viola, you have a school, and soon there will be a bigger one here with a science lab, as well as toilets. and it will all be run on solar power, all in an impoverished community, but also build by that same community for, for as what is important is plastic is going to affect everyone in the world. so what we're doing here is we're inviting different communities from different areas

to come in live what we are doing, give them the same skills that we have got and then they go back in, they do the same in their own areas. so far we've put 5 communities that we've identified that will be training and then helping them also to set up a similar environment like ours africans as solving their own problems. and the mess that was caused by the global not. and is these kinds of solutions that must be echoed at the you and club, $27.00 climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who pollute must pay the lute. for the clean bill carmel is had to 40 in johannesburg. while the whole world has been hearing about fears of nuclear war for the past few months, it seems as a ray of hope. now, as the us state department spokesperson says, moscow, washington should hold a meeting on resume inspections. of

a topic weapons is focused on risk reduction. we have a number of channels for communication. that is a good thing. it demonstrates our connect you with strategic stability, something we remain committed to something that has profound me in a bilateral interest. the tracy follows a decade on effort to reduce nuclear arsenals on both sides and expires. in 2026 in washington announced its ruinous work with russia on the creation of a new nuclear arms control system that will replace the start treaty. but both parties face challenges by then demanded that these negotiations take place with trends, participation things. such discussions require an interesting partner acting in good faith. according to russian form is a survey leverage. it is objectively impossible to maintain a dialogue with the us. now,

20 out of the us is withdraw from all previous treaties on missile defense, intermediate and short range missiles. meanwhile, the u. s. is already working on brand new strategic weapons to counter rushes nuclear arsenal and bypass the treaties limitations. but according to the russian defense ministries magazine in the medium term, the united states seeks to possess strategic non nuclear weapons, with a short flight time to the target and not formally subject to any bilateral or international restrictions. why this course live last scott with her former us marine corps intelligence officer. scott, great to have you with us here. i see now this nuclear reduction meeting appears to be one of the few contacts which remain between us and russia. what's in projects for this meeting? was it, was it so important? well, right now, the only remaining arms control treaty between russian united states is this new

start treaty. and it's effectively dead in the water because of the sanctions that had been imposed by united states on russia. russian inspectors were unable to travel freely to the united states to carry out their an inspection duties. and so russia, i'm citing that sort of a one sided approached by the head states and your inspectors can't come here either. and without inspections, frankly speaking, a nurse control treaty is, is useless. so rather than allow both sides to chester in a uncertainty um it, which only feeds the, the ongoing tension. i think it's imperative that both sides agree that they meet and resolve this issue. it's frankly up to united states to find a mechanism that allows russian inspectors to travel as the tree requires to inspect the american targets and in russia will lift it. so this is good because

this gets us back in the business of arms control treaties and, and hopefully have people respect how important these are. and maybe they'll be looking to, to, to, to come up with the additional treaties in the future. hopefully, once at united states will adhere to and stay in. i think there is a possibility then of creating a new nuclear arms control system that satisfies both sides. well, i mean, of course there is all you have to do is sit down and talk and i think one of the big obstacles that will be necessary to overcome from the russian perspective is trust. can the united states be trusted to adhere to its commitments? i'm given what happened with the i n f treaty, where frankly speaking, we lie to the russians about the ages, the shore system that we said was only so surface that no air anti missile system. um, but in fact, less than a month after the treaty at we got out of the treaty, we tested

a ground launch cruise missile from the system. something the russian said was always a capability. um, i mean that, that that's a trust issue. rush as a trustee, she's with the ongoing to start a treaty, the new start treaty. but in the end, it's in russia's interest and america's interest to reduce their nuclear arsenals. a leading, hopefully up to, to some point the future where nuclear weapons are to part of our, our, our respective military's or that's a long way off. maybe it's utopian. but we certainly don't need to live in a world where we have thousands of nuclear warheads and sitting down with one another and seeking a way to disarm that is mutually evan. you know, it's, it's, it's advantageous to both parties. is the right thing to do. you have to sort of like the succeeded tie acidic arms. we duction feeney, this is the what the start stanfull, this new start treating. i mean sick cover, old nuclear weapons and to possess my both countries. no. first of all, it only covers the strategic weapons. the icbm is the submarine,

last ballistic missiles and heavy bombers. oh, no rush has developed a new generation of, of missiles and strategic capability that are covered by this treaty. and it would be in the united states interested to come up with a new tree vehicle that in fact, cover this now rush, of course with the giveaway systems for free. the united states will be called upon to, you know, to, to put something on the table that's of reciprocal in nature. but that's, that's what ours reduction in our control treat her about. it's about getting rid of weapons, not trading the conditions where weapons continue to exist or expand. ready so you know, this is very important treaty but doesn't cover one of the big things that doesn't cover. ready is tactical nuclear warheads and rushes very concerned. for instance, about the he $61.00, a thermonuclear weapons at the united states, currently maintains, in europe,

under the nato nuclear umbrella. a russia would very much like to find a disarmament vehicle that included these weapons. it's something the united states has been hesitant or reluctant to do, but may be going forward, given the absolute order of reducing tensions between the 2 nations. it's something i'd states my consider. well, as i was less weapons is definitely the wasteful. it's clarissa, always a pleasure. to lindsey, thanks for your insight. thanks again. thanks. sure i'm ah, well, joe biden has been slammed by the countries and as in the off the president said that they will will be no more fossil fuel drilling. this comes just days, often, biden demanded the oil companies increase production to low prices. is conflicting statements of lead in this vinitez that he is washington of tyranny, motives failure to understand the fundamentals of the energy industry and develop

a consistent, comprehensive energy policy. this type of election year rhetoric since the wrong signal to the markets and to the american energy producers working every day to provide the fuels american needs. yet another on serious statement by an increasingly unserious president, thousands of new oil and gas wells will need to be drilled over the next 2 years. and we have learned that while the president may say one thing, the reality in which we all live dictates another. the wife has offered clarification, saying the bible is referring to particular drilling in the arctic. not all federal lands biden is known for having a complicated relationship with countries. energy sector often pressurize the, or for open pressuring the industry to increase or production while at the same time, declaring war on fossil fuels irritating business leads. and while the u. s. energy status struggles with the fuel prices, the ease seems to have it even worse. with gas prices now doubled in the household,

electricity up 60 percent since last year. and this even before the ball go on russian. and it begins in december. germany is trying to soften the crisis with appliances, spend over 80000000000 euros on subsidies. the businesses and households, but other ease states, particularly france, can't afford such a play. calling for united european storms instead of unilateral measures. now the anti crisis in europe sparked by sanctions imposed all russia effects poodle countries the most as the countries to support the cop 27 green energy plan for africa. we spoke to the shipper could dummy and economics and energy, honest from south africa, who says that the green energy plan for africa will be a catastrophic catastrophe. catastrophe, even for the quantum essentially what,

what is happening is that the rest of the african continent, in terms of the pronouncements that have been made at $27.00, africa will be placed yet again into another of the dark ages. the 1st dark ages lasted for 400 years. i just don't know how long this one will last. but when you look at a specifically, countries such as south africa, which still rely to a greater extent on the use of code for electricity generation. the pronouncements that have been made and the edge that's common must be faced out, industrially is going to really bring about hardship by economy, really is catastrophic. so we go into c, electricity prices going that much high up to the point of affordability.

and we are going to see jobs being exported because every single component equipment that, that goes into this so called renewable energy sources is fabricated. engineered and manufactured in europe as well as in china. so that it gets but a high debt. and we're really money in foreign currency where the south african currency is itself continuing to weaken, as simply is lunacy to say, the least serving towards it in russia and iran and the energy center to ron, who's strongly praised, $40000000000.00 deal with russia, gas from to sort of infrastructure and develop iridium gas bills. you don't know if you go to it as you know, around and russia are too powerful countries in the region. and they were never this close in political and economic relations, especially in the field.
