huh, oh ah, [000:00:00;00] with your headlines off you international. that's one civilian is killed and another wounded off the reports of ukrainian army shelling of houses and apartment buildings supporting right there. you can see it's pretty heavy damage in the audience for public. also in this, i was program africans as solving nail, the problems and the mass that was caused by the global not with the ongoing un and climate change conference addressing a rising pollution levels of western countries coming undefined using africa as a dumping ground for garbage and a couple of

a dead politicians have one elections and 2 u. s. states, as their names were simply not removed from the one in the next 2 years. do you intend to do differently? nothing that you have it us president joe biden refusing to change cost on policy making despite public frustration and approval ratings. diving to do with covering old corners off the globe. it's all t international. all of us here at the headquarters in moscow. we've got your stories lined up. we do start now with some of the latest from the ukraine conflict where in the don't yet square public reports are coming in of renewed shelling of residential areas. some unverified images i should say from social media to show you right now, you see some of the buildings up in flames off the shelling this thursday morning.

as we understand as of right now there have been no reports of any casualties. but then another shelling incident and don't ask overnight one civilian was killed at least another one wounded at these pictures. so you can see the aftermath of homes and apartments that ultimately caught fire and civilian airs have been hit with the high mas rocket systems in the neighboring lu, ganske republic. these images with a city of us to hand off a 6 houses were damaged, as we understand by full rockets. also a local infrastructure and a business were hit as well. officials of saying that only civilians live in this area. so of course we hit the streets to speak with the locals. i mean, hope all is well for the low good. i was being crushed under the rubble, but i managed to start creeping out from the debris. the whole ceiling fell on me in the dark, somehow i got out of the rubble. then they took me to the hospital. thank god, i was not badly hurt, but this is all harmless. a rocket from the high moss fell into this house. this is a high explosive fragmentation rocket. the shell went through the roof. the

explosion occurred in the room itself. we found all the fragments from the rocket in the basement, or a public. his hate with such missiles every day. this is a completely peaceful area. civilians live here and there is no military equipment . so meantime, western media outlets are claiming 1500 fresh graves have been found near the city of mario full. that is in the danielle republic. a saying it's the evidence of a mass burial side for the victims of the siege of mario full of this come several months after similar media claims were made about another mass grave, which russia did dispute at the time. i spoke with a canadian independent journalist that eva bartlett, she actually traveled to this new site in question is some of a video. in fact, she claims to western media is a pushing the narrative about mass burial sites as they did in the spring. and we spoke to her just a few minutes ago. what the media are doing is they're, they're not using, it's explicitly the math grade terminology. although the, because he did use a 40 me, apparently, and one of their,

a documentary that they're doing on mary. but they think math burial site, and i'm looking at a number of corporate media reports on this. and they're saying like math burial site, they talk about study can, which is to the northwest of variable. and they talk about me, which is to the east of marable and i went to both of those yesterday and what they're saying, if they're saying yes, they're saying math burial type, have expanded. the bdc refers to study chrome, and in the 1st 2 paragraphs, they say the grades in buried in a field are expanding at no point that i could find to the ever note that study quinn the, the graph, there's actually a preexisting and massive cemetery. and yes, there are no grades there and i just see another report that i was reading today that i see any of them mentioned cemetery. so what they're doing are saying they've already planted the sea by saying, you know,

mass graves back in april regarding non goshen. now they're mentioning all 3 areas and without necessarily explicitly saying math grade again because maybe they're feeling like they're going to be caught out. they're still planting a thing not burial and not mentioning these are the democrats. they think that the public are stupid to believe the kind of life of something else, but even now it's even more so. so i think that i hope that people will be insulted by the level of what they're, they're putting out of the media. and as me, with an honest reporting on now on the crate, i hope people will actually be insulted that they think that, that the media thinks they're so stupid, they're going to believe like this. these transparent lived. but otherwise, i think for individuals out there i was just saying like, don't be afraid to if you, if you've done research and you believe that you understand what's going on, don't be afraid to speak with your friends and family about it. even if they're going to call you names, it's better to have spoken and tried to have a conversation about it than to not say anything, not at my post you journalist as well. he would turn the line for

a career or other reasons. so could have your company for this i was program, the namibian president has blamed western countries for the current climate crisis, brining the states as criminals, even adding that western energy consumption is placing a severe burden on the poorest nations. well, here doughty international we, we heard from a journalist at the cop 27 summit who, who explains how european countries entrenched in their green agenda have in fact now seriously increased their imports and usage of fossil fuels. bosley, those from all over the world have gathered here in egypt to discuss how best to come together and fight climate change. some media houses have missed the message of unity. the cities, an article by the new york times has laid the blame of slow auction in buckling carbon emissions at the doorstep of russia's president, along with a couple of his partners. mister putin,

supporters hail from some of the most powerful and polluting nations. she's paying of china and india is no render. mowdy stepped up after the attack on ukraine to buy immense volumes of russian, coal, and oil at bargain prices, cushioning their own economies from a global energy crisis. while allowing mister putin to keep profiting from energy exports to spite western sanctions. it seems that even when it comes to the climate, this space for politics, the article though fails to take a long, hard look at the actions of the so called good guys. i either west tech the new york times at its wide and you'd think they were come on neutral angels, but thus, not quite the truth. for example, did you know that games in california use more electricity than some entire countries in africa? and china and india are being criticized for buying call the dirtiest fossil fuel. but why is there no reference to how europe has taped up there use of that very same data, forcing fuel,

importing it in record quantities from places like south africa. coal is said to remain a critical input for affordable and reliable power generation, not only in the developing world, but also in highly industrialized and developed nations, which have recently increased deer reliance on coal to meet the energy needs. to be more precise in the 1st 5 months of 2020 to a lawn, e u countries imported 40 per cent more than they did in all of 2021. plus you have probably read about how countries like germany, austria, denmark, continental lands have all, is restrictions on coal fired power stations at home. also europe's oil imports, another polluting fossil fuel, just hit 2 years high. it saves many statements and not been tested because these nations have the right political views. do they get a free pass? because the coal and oil isn't russian. many commentators question this,

just not the new york times. european countries want to turn africa into europe's gas station. they want to lock african, a gas pathway that will leave africa with stranded assets and leave the 600000000 africans who currently don't have access to energy without the opportunity to power their future prosperity using the incredible renewable energy potential that exists . the world is going through historic changes and much upheaval, and these days it seems politics is brought into everything. even claimant. one of the message here at copeland to 7 is that if you do that, if you want the while to have a clean record, make sure you have got a clean record yourself, slim and yearly art. the news shall ship egypt. now we have a chance to speak with the executive chairman of the african energy chamber on the sidelines of the climate summit. mister n j i o says the continent has a well its own development idea is when it comes to the issue of dealing with

greenhouse gases. at this moment when you say africa with 3 percent greenhouse gas emission, we cannot be carrying the burden for everybody african lead us. i'm not very happy with that right here at cop african really does want to josh any d transition and calling every body to see, let everybody sure that the burden that we still have to produce unused on not to every sausage. there is a bond and gas in africa. we have to drive that gas, but even western nations, unreached, and wealthy nations, they are using gas. the opening coal fired plans. yeah. drive and gas so much and even taking some of africa gas to power europe right now. so we need to be able to have and use i gas to drive of petrochemical, dr. patillo, which eliza plant provide electricity for 600000000 people. do not have access to

electricity. our own transportation is going to be from burning fire wood to natural gas. we would not back down on our right to use our natural gas. we just went africans to be able to make your own choices. now this all comes amid rising concerns of the african continent as being hardest hit by that of plastic waste, which is basically sent from western countries. you can see the picture behind me. archie, africa correspond caribella tattler. well, he basically a scaled the mountains of rubbish to bring us the story. plastic is ubiquitous. it fills our air, land and oceans and landfills like this are full of it from my this current tooth brushes, shoes, clothes, tv, rim olds, you name it. it's 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 waste. and most of our ways is also organic. so where does this come from? reliever people talk about plastic, import the decision to south africa. the only thing i think and let me be necessitated as for the county, the environment that is not even be discussed at the stage. 20 companies as sad 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, what responsibility do they,

bay to there's global wasteland they've created. this is mainly supposed to be in effect the county. oh, because we don't have most of the blessed extent we supposed to have in south africa to make products. some africans have come up with a plan. then i was ira. works with can sign is collections and not for profit company in the education space. they turn plastic into briggs, a lay sosnazz plastic from where ever we can get in and times even battling 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 eat the plastic, we end up eating that fish and they did end up affecting us as well. from hill to point of your plastic is cut into smaller bits and 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 so far 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 u and club 27 climate change conference. and me, me, maybe those who pollute must pay the lute for the clean up bill can i will, is that for out of t drive is big. great to have you with us. well, this program joe biden has refused to consider changing the direction of his presidency. does quite admitting that much of the american public is satisfied with the part the country is currently on. the american leader made the comments while

expressing relief that rifle republicans didn't make bigger gains in that of the midterm election. what in the next 2 years you intend to do differently? nothing overwhelming majority america, people support the elements of my economic agenda. i'm confident these policies are working and that are on the right path and we need to stick. i can't guarantee that we're going to be able to get rid of inflation. that statement came as vote counting in the nation's high stakes. mid terms continues with the control of the senate still yet to be determined. in the other chamber of congress, the republican party is projected to gain a majority in that of the house of representatives. now, in landslide, victory is democratic. anthony de luca was re elected in the state of pennsylvania and barbara cooper, one hosted in tennessee. the only problem is that both dead, they died last month and their names were not removed from the ballots. now, despite not being able to stand for obvious office,

obviously they look forward to represent that constituents report say a new election will be held in new ballots. well, we'll have to be printed all of us either kellum off and now explaining that moves the u. s. president his planning, if indeed republicans win in the ongoing midterm election, the context of the election is very key to understand. now the big red way, the sweep that was predicted for republicans doesn't appear to have materialized. however, there were substantial victories. republican one wonders if joe biden would be talking the same way. if that redway hadn't heed materialized. he seems to have tell him things down from before the election when he was talking about democracy being at stake, it's cetera about how he still has it. and on the veto pan, now it's important to know that despite the fact that joe biden seems to be tony things down old in the united state, indicate that 74 percent of us public is still unhappy with the direction the

country is moving in 71 percent believe that democracy is at stake. any question and under threat in the united states, these are some ohio voters that we spoke to. i think the climate is extremely polarizing across the board. again and kind of scary where we fan. unfortunately, a 3rd 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 the rhetoric in the united states in the lead up to these elections was especially heated allegations of being fascists wanting to destroy the country. putting democracy in question were being hurled left and right. donald trump's me, he took to the podium and he had this to say in the lead up to the mid term vote on tuesday. this country has gone crazy to view support the decline fall of america. then you must absolutely must vote for the radical left crazy people,

the radical left democrats. now we've also heard from the democratic side complaints about what they call voters, suppression and voting regulation. they say were intended to suppress the vote. the level of voter suppression is beyond anything that we saw in 2000. and we can't say that whatever happens tonight is a fair and equitable election. and we've heard some pretty shocking rhetoric as well. for example, alexandria how's the court has the representative from new york's recently accused prominent tv host who's been critical of u. s. foreign policy tucker, carlson of being a terrorist. here is what you said. there is a major news channel that is fueling political violence. one of the largest sources of death threats that i get is tucker carls in this is like, what's the catholic terrorism is? so we have a wide spread polarization within the united states. the president also indicated that he alon mosque, the billionaire in the united states,

who recently acquired twitter may be the subject of some kind of investigation for alleged foreign ties and the manner in which she's been running twitter in the short time since he's assumed leadership. joe biden said there may be some kind of investigation launched against the alon mock so white, an interesting day in the aftermath of the mid term vote, of which there was a lot of heavy anticipation and nervousness among the u. s. ready political establishment and the public. something got some questions here on the program crossing live. not a civil rights attorney, robert petite. who is now joining us live from atlanta, georgia. 20 past 10 in the morning where you are nice if you of buckhead and downtown behind you. that thanks for joining us on the program ro. but i wanted to ask you about that. just the story that we mentioned, a few moments ago, democrat, anthony deluca was re elected in the state of pennsylvania. barbara cooper, also a democrat waiting. i see it in tennessee. the problem is that both dead. can you tell me? is it possible for dead politicians to be elected? all the simple answers they were alive recently,

then for various reasons and states that you have a deadline as to when ballots can actually change as to when individuals can be taken off of the ballot. we've seen this pretty much where individuals have been on a on a valid and then they've been convicted of a crime and arrested or indicted, but they have to remain on the ballot and then either resign be removed from office and then be reappointed their position appointed by the governor, and then there after a special lecture calls that were going to happen in this situation. also these individuals very recently died, i believe last month in both the case and school too late to take them off of the ballot. so they will be up, point will be made for their position, and then later there be a special election to fill those seats. i wrote that fair play, fair play. sounds legitimate enough, got no arguments here, but we, we have seen both of the candidates, for example, with democrats and during the last presidential election. robert, i know, you know this, we heard stories about graveyards full of people going to vote. i mean, it's this look, is it a partisan thing? i mean, all republicans prone to something like this as well,

or is it just all being written off as a technical glitch? the tech that the republicans used to explain away the fact that they do not have much appeal to the youth vote in the younger voters. and to explain away the numbers that they keep losing by understand something in the popular vote. for example, we've had one republican when the culprit vote in the last 30 years since 992. you only have republicans with the popular vote in the year 2004 both worked carry. the 41 republican senators represent, or the 51 or the 50 republican centers represent 41000000 fewer americans in the 50 democratic senators. if you look at the house representatives, the 23 are the 5 seat majority of the democrats. 70 house represent 23000000 more americans than the republicans. so they are not a majority party in order to explain them not being or majority party. they can either will look, our policies are such that the majority american people are against them. we can

change them, or they can say that all dead people and migrants are, they're making names to it's made away how donald trump last last by and was to 1000000 votes to joe biden. but what i wanted to ask you, moving on, just remember to dr. barton in a, in a broader sense during his latest press conference. i'm sure you saw robert a biden confused the russian city of how to song without the iraqi city of lucia. it just seems like it's one gaff after another with this us precedent. i mean, it wasn't that long ago. he said, i hope the young people out there are at home listening to music on their record players. i mean i, i had a record player in 1900. 82, robert. what is the state, the cognitive state of the american president right now? i think you'll find because oddly enough, if you look at videos from joe biden, from the 1900 eighty's, he made the exact same gas gold with that to his campaign. and 1988, where he had resigned for plagiarizing drop out of the race were plagiarizing. a document during his private vice president is obama's,

vice president. he was on the gaffer, in chief and also also taken off the media circuit for doing the same thing. i think a lot of people talked with up to the age. this is jesse jo by this is going to make cringing and gap were the words and statements from time to time. i think they were here. whitehouse will say, we'll look at what we've done. policy was in the 1st 2 years, weren't ministration, including this week in the midterm, where people more projecting. i bare minimum, 236 being lost, a loss of the loss of coverage mansions across the country. but holding down to perhaps the best midterm they democratic president has had in the last 40 years. so i think the bought it ministration and say, we'll look at what we've done and not the gap that the president will do because that's just what he's always done. you have a robot, i mean i, catherine, you got a few 2nd say you actually legitimately saying to me on international television that joe biden is in the same cognitive state today as he was back in the eighty's . oddly enough, i think so. i don't know that a statement on exactly where he was in the eighty's or where he is now. but you can

look at the tape where him making jokes about indian american communities, making jokes about having to have an exit to be in certain places. statements. he made about african american saying that when he will 2 arguing for the crime bill and we look all the way that the conversation see it with tip of meal when it came to busing, back in the night, 970. this just kinda is joe, who joe, by the name of the few been following the politics released 3040 years and i do admire optimism. robert's civil rights, a tiny, joining us from downtown atlanta. always good to see robert. thanks a lot. they give well, while giving his election reactions, speech or job by north administer as i was saying, confused that of the city of san, with the, of the city of in iraq of louis or that was one of the bloodiest scenes of battles in 2003, you have a listen. i think the context is that whether and i would they pulling back from

felicia and me from the the care sign the, the city of care sought the front of the last president biden, still hope that his country's a to ukraine will be quote on interrupted. however, the american liter confessed the types of health available, though restricted and don't always conform to the demands of care. if you can read about that on the fine details at r t dot com. well, the german chancellor is only just back from his trip to china where he sought to build bridges with aging. and yet the countries already begun to suspend cooperation with various chinese firms. germany's the so called china city of doing, but because hold it, it's small cities collaboration with a tech giant while way. local official said it was partially due to beijing ties with moscow. the federal government, e. u, as currently waiting to see whether an exchange with wal way can be maintain,

also against the background of the current relations between russia and china. while it's close to all to contribute rachel moss and veterans very good afternoon . good evening from all of us here at h q and moscow. how or how are based relations with moscow affecting but lynn's relations with beijing. rachel? yeah, well that's a really interesting statement there from that german official guess. it's hard to come up with an independent policy when americans can just lean over and breathe down your neck from military basis inside your country. right. german chancellor, all of shields probably isn't even over the jet lag yet from his trip to china during which he said, quote, the world needs china and objected to this idea of decoupling from china and there's all ready back paddling on that good will the city of deuce berg signed on a few years ago for that smart city's collaboration with wall way called china city . now they're trying to take the china out of it and well,

maybe even the smart part out of it as well. apparently, since local officials, cited beijing's relationship with russia for the suspension of the project, ignoring the fact that while way is already been moving operations out of russia just to avoid problems with us, anti russians, sanctions all around the world. meanwhile, the german cabin, as just blocked the sale of 2 semiconductor companies, one of those companies called almost now can't even be sold to a swedish company silex. because silex is a subsidiary of china's cy microelectronics. here's how german economy minister, robber, havoc is framing the blocking of that sale. we must look very closely at company takeovers when it relates to important infrastructure. when there is a danger that the technology would flow to buyers from money, you countries danger to important infrastructure. there semiconductors, not nuclear secrets. oh, which, by the way,

germany doesn't have because it's totally dependent on the u. s. nuclear umbrella. but if you're not buying that rationale, that have ex, giving there how about a worker's rights one. we have prohibited a non union investor from entering into business ventures in germany. the reason for this is that the security of order in germany must be protected and critical production areas require special protection. yes, saving germany from a non union investor. now this idea of saving germany from china is kind of ironic when the u. s. and not germany is the obvious beneficiary of all this maneuvering at this point. like when state department officials bragged in western press recently about brow meeting berlin, and to reducing the share sold to china in a hamburg port deal. there have been some pieces in the western press since sholtes filters, chinese trip that play on this notion that germany doesn't need china even though beijing is berlin's largest trading partner. the rationale is a jury has the rest of the you to trade with sure why not,

but the rest of the use pretty much in an economic tailspin right now because of the use own sanctions on it's russian energy supply. and it also has the u. s. of course, that's what they're arguing in these articles. germany has the u. s. but tom then why schultz running off to paris to meet with french president emmanuel mack home last month in order to figure out how to counter the u. s. sticking it to europe with protectionism, specifically through biden's inflation reduction acts which is being peddled as a virtuous solution to inflation and climate change. the german business community doesn't seem to be buying these politicians, excuses for the pivot away from china. 8 of the countries taught chief executives wrote in a german newspaper recently a warning against withdrawal from china and underscore that china is key to germans competitiveness. the same could also been said about germany's relationship with
