[000:00:00;00] with awe, we now in the vicinity of children up up up can you agreement? no. this is the new frontline hazard. who stabilized on our tea crew is given access by a chechen battalion now it defends russian lines in the loop. gather republic also had on the program called 27 ales. western countries shift to atomic energy despite their previous condemnation of african nations doing the very same thing on initiative that kind of provided the continent with a reliable power source many years ago. as you get,

this president speaks out against the west for lecturing the east african country about its oil pipeline project with neighboring towns. and yet i didn't really understand waive in our president, is writing someone telling them you he he let him be any folk with around the clock across the world. this is our t from the team and myself unit on leave. hello and welcome to the program. overnights artillery shelling has been reported in the her song region targeting river crossings and a hydro electric power plant. it comes as russian troops withdrawal from parts of the region and mid fears that a dam connected with the power station could burst uncles, devastating flooding. explosions were also heard in the loop. dance republic, where authority say

u. s. supplied hi. mars rockets hit civilian ari is damaging several residential buildings. a local business and public infrastructure. les chechen battalion is stationed at the republics front lines there at using a system of trenches and artillery exchanges to protect the land from ukrainian attack. our senior correspondent, barrack gusty of sword, 1st hand. this is, am matt battalion. thousands upon thousands of its fighters are stationed along some of the deadliest sectors of the front lines. and these is no exception out of the gulf. we are now in the vicinity of chicago, but both can you give him a no. this is the new frontline has a good stabilize on the front line. there are multiple layers of defense mine

fields trenches bonkers as well as mo vall reserves all over the place, rushes pulled back from havoc of region following ukraine. successful counter attack only and did hear the ukrainian military and nationalist groups have been unable to break through. daniel, naturally there when we 1st arrived, there was nothing here, just a few dugouts. they attacked then and tried to cut us off to keep us hold up under cover. i don't know where they were firing from, but everything they had, they scented us cooked. oh, but they couldn't get through. no, they were unable to, breakthrough digging is survival. how deep and how quickly you and trench dictates whether you leave or die. there has never been a conflict like these where no bomb was,

can fly where drones rule the sky and see everything night and day guiding barrages of artillery at the nearest sign of movement or heat signature. a silent war fought between the east and the west, or group of there aren't many ukrainians, mostly foreign mercenaries. for example, poles and germans are boys hear them. they mostly work in trios, tanks, mortars and drones, the shelves and mortar rounds flying overhead. there's very little to do for infantry in a situation such as this other than keep watch in case ukrainian infantry decides to press forward, ah, e ina, in a mass mobilized attack from what we understand. they currency don't have the necessary manpower, the necessary vehicles,

ammunition stores to push forward. so the situation, he has turned into something of a standstill with just artillery jewels by local standards. this was considered quiet when things heated up. however, temporarily we would rush to the closest dug out the lagoon with no, i flat battalion has come a long way once made up almost exclusively of chechen fighters. now heat includes all ethnicities and creeds, though still answerable to check and lead of rams. and could thereof, a band of just a few 1000 has grown to an army of tens of thousands, hardened into veterans by merciless battles in the streets of mary u pool. and cities,

fields and forests of east and south ukraine. work for gordon. the enemy is well prepared. there are many foreign mercenaries. you can hear yourself. mercenaries are firing at us, but we are holding our positions. thinking ahead and we've got everything we need. thanks to kid europe and our commanders. more ad gasdio, haughty from the guns creegan, ukrainian authorities have said they have to take the suppose a kremlin propaganda. some published a photo of a person who burs an uncanny resemblance to german investigative journalist, thomas rupert, ukraine's national security service has disclose the man's name, but instead posted a blurred photo appeared to have been taken from an article written by mister rooper, r t reached out to thomas, he replied, saying he wasn't the person who was detained, but under done, it would not be the 1st time ukrainian authorities have attempted to clump down on

free press in the country ukraine. and of course, everybody irrational, propagandist who was not celebrating ukraine. and this is not the 1st journalist who was arrested in ukraine since the beginning of the operation. so these are things that are happening there all the time. and we know that the ukrainian law is, well, it's prohibited to say anything which is not in line with ukrainian official propaganda and asking questions are criticizing ukraine. this is dangerous in this country. we have so many examples of journalists would disappear. and ukraine, we have the french guy who told what he seen in butcher, which is not in line with ukraine. and they even tried to kill him in the stumble when he was there. now we have, we have enough examples and international reaction. you know, this, the west, i mean, you are ignoring this as if it wouldn't happen. so again,

it's an inflammation war and the west view and ukraine. they only tell what they want to tell and everything else and the ice is not happening. so these are the conditions we are living in already for, for a long time. love to head on the program, including washington's envoy to the un lashes, always at russia for allegedly violating the organizations charter with it. so fences in ukraine, ignoring america's own invasions of multiple sovereign countries and recent decades, that's ahead and more uganda as president has slammed, quote, western double standards about green energy reports that merge that germany is this monthly, a large wind farm to make way for a new open pit coal mine. now if you're a re investing in its own fossil fuel power industry to bring mass ball power plants back online, in a truly perverse twist,

we are told new western investment in african fossil fuels as possible, but only for oil and gas resources that will be piped and shipped to europe. this is the purest hypocrisy. while the president's words come amid a long lasting dispute over the east african crude oil pipeline, that's a joint project by uganda and tons. and here now the pipeline plans to stretch around 1500 kilometers, starting from bully. so right the way down to the port of tango in tons in the not the project would help utilize uganda is large oil reserves and also supply other countries through the tons in the in c port, the plum being to bring oil prices in the region down to stable levels, while the or operation was launched by french oil giant to tell energies, but was criticized by b e u. parliament over alleged violations of environmental and human rights

principles. the block called on the international community chip pressure, uganda, and tons and near to stop the project. not resolution, by the way, was for vote only 2 days before the ongoing cup. 27 conference. the east african legislative assembly is ignoring european pressure andes, calling for the project to continue adding that the you should intervene less in african issues. do you, parliament is of the legislature in what they should do is go back to the eel and focus on the issues that affect the people of the european union. will artie africa heard from uganda and residents about how they feel about the issue? this has never been a better loyal list of the western concept of extractive industry like my head of state. but today screaming the french when that something of national interest is at stake. i've always had 3 questions. the issue of sovereignty. who owns it out? don't walk with your bears. who owns africa?

is it still the loopholes of this world over the past? ought to be we gaining independence. i feel these guys are envious of us, that we don't have glass of natural resources. when they come, they really need to sub process. if we never come to an understanding of owning ourselves, then we shall always be running on someone's finger drops antiques, you know. so we need to make that choice of moving forward. we don't have to wait for someone to tell us what to do or not to do. yeah, we have to leave like that as his as of leave like that. i do not really understand . wave in our placement is writing someone telling them you are a hypocrite. he let him be any pl, quick 2. or we also spoke to south africa's global energy ceo kelvin chem essays. europe shouldn't try and impose it's solutions on africa, which desperately needs to develop. african countries have the strength to think for themselves and do what's in their own interest for,

for too long. we've been prepared to accept solutions coming from europe. that might or might not work in europe often they don't even protect to work well day. and they come here on the assumption that al conditions was similar to the same as this. and then not, not only of the sizes of the countries different, they, for very long power lines from the case electricity, long delivery lines. it's dry here. we have nowhere near the rain that they've got this numbers of things that are different. so we've got to start resisting this attitude of they know what's good for them, therefore most automatically be good for us. and therefore we must do as we told and every can reproduce so little carbon dioxide. we should not be bullied into being major players in reducing carbon dioxide. we make a tiny difference in comparison, some of the much bigger place in the world. and in doing that, it would be highly detrimental to people, the people that need electrification. we need electricity to,

to build the economy in advance economy. we cannot be made to be the victims of other people's strange ideas. meanwhile, western countries have been turning to nuclear power as an energy source. that is one of the latest takeaways from the ongoing un climate change conference. now it's happening despite the west criticizing africa for its own efforts to develop atomic power in its search for reliable and affordable energy r t correspond code. i will let us can tell us more following last year's united nations climate change conference in class go. busy 17 african countries expressed an interest in acquiring nuclear as a base load to support its people and the economy. a move that was not embraced by the rich west the nations or their financial institutions. but they stand here now for the 1st time ever had a you and climate change conference,

this one happening in egypt as club 27. nuclear is not only back on the agenda, but it has its own pavilion. so what's changed? well, the worst zip a critical because we're actually told that nuclear is a no go air, you know, and it's a source and should not even be pursued under any circumstances. suddenly, we hear that the western countries are now actually pursuing nuclear viciously. you know, you okay, it would not be on the table nor have france that is expanding his nuclear base. you have germany, that is actually now looking at even building up nuclear plants and expanding his current capacity. so we, we, singer hypocritical, starnes, but western hypocrisy is nothing new to most africans. earlier this year we saw european lead as rushing for africa, fossil fuels, while preaching the exact opposite message to africans. and in august, south africa's coal exports for europe. we're up 720 percent and they have

not even picked yet. and it's the same story for the north african natural gas exports to europe. which leads many africans to ask. the question, is climate change only a concern? when it suits the global, not german changes or crisis only when it suits the you know, you know, the western congress, particularly as for certain the global not which is currently being the dominant player on pushing full time at change mitigation. but we are not seeing any aspect of actual insured in that article which is currently the list. meet us is actually given priority of developing a snotty asset as ensuring that we can have nuclear capacity bays, and more from all other sources. almost all africans are affected by the lack of reliable baseload energy. every single day, african countries need to be very decisive. we need the industrialization to, we need to develop meant. and we need a really robust energy solution, which in this only case for nuclear,

is the only solution available right now. and african cultural should be pursuing nuclear solutions viciously and ensuring that they can stand independently n because of the pollution that has been caused by many western congress. this would actually be making sure that african countries are not punished for something that didn't cause. and when south africa wanted to pursue more nuclear in 2015 west than financial institutions, had closed the tabs on funding it. but now, 7 years later, it themes, the tabs are opening again. last time were south africa, could have used to plan to has building more nuclear power stations, as well as reducing their emissions. so that that as an added country doesn't have water. when you have nuclear, then you're also answer the issue of water provision because you can then successfully de saline. that is a direction we should be growing, but nuclear so regulated that there's an ingredient of time on how long it would

take for you to commission nuclear. so the longer we delay to actually commence with nuclear installation, the more we're gonna put this country in a state of arrested development. it is not only about renewables is really about cleaner and less emitting technologies. and nuclear is, is one big source of low cabinet or power, so we should leave it on the table. africa. energy demand is projected to grow by 80 percent by the year 2040, and 4 people on the ground reliable, consistent, and affordable energy is more important before any talks of emissions. especially in the face of what themes like energy apartheid. but as they bid, when south africa needed them politically, the waste is yet again showing its craft the double speak and climate hypocrisy. god bless that, he enjoyed his vic. okay,

i want to keep attention on the continent because kenya is sending troops to the democratic republic of congo to help restore peace there. the decision is expected the course already hard hit taxpayer is almost $37000000.00 over the next 6 months . and many kenyan say there governments move as a mistake. our country is not stable yet. we've just come from elections of reason . we're being told by our elected leaders that we don't have enough funds in the law pressure is. now the question that we are asking ourselves, was it necessary for these, or just to be sent to the, to see now a time when kids are languishing in, in hunger, languishing in poverty language. in total doubt, you know, of the country which will be in a pollution that looks like a play with the, with what we have 1st, before we hit the amount of funds will be needed to,

to ensure that native stability, india to see congo does a lot of money can, in gauging into this issue, a lot thing to better. better had you want to manage will be allocated money covers spending for equipment operations on the loans payments. the joint decision to send troops to the d. r. c was made by east african community member states last summer. burundi than side to done already deployed military forces with your guns and tons in the expected to join soon. those troops on monday that allows the use of force to restore peace to the country, which is dealing with insurgents in the east. we spoke to a kenyan human rights activist who country to many of his fellow citizens supports nairobi, decision to send from this ability of convoys. an issue that should have been dealt with the long time ago is an issue that should've sorted out because we cannot be dealing with the same problems of the 19 sixty's. there is nothing wrong with that

kenneth talk spare for putting the costs over a you acadia deployment in the congo because of comb with these african tradition. those are all brothers. the people in coma, our brothers, so we do not know which particular pots the acadia for a day. the katie of has been deployed. but whichever that what it has been deployed in those are people, much of the people from east africa actually came from la combo bisson, composite so many resources. it's going to run the aspect of electric it, electric energy there, where the nitro vickers and so on. so much of the renewal and, and even the cobbles that he's running, the wired comes from the congress. so the annual, we simply campbell, the better and that is white. i'm supporting that vasa, the democratic republic of congo itself has announced immobilization. it's in response to the m $23.00 military grip offensive,

which began in march. now those are insurgents. something gaining ground in border areas near uganda and rwanda. since the conflict broke out, tens of thousands of people have been displaced. the d r. c. government accuses rolanda of supporting the militants, but to galli, denies the allegations. we spoke to complete based journalists, guy lane balloon, on the situation. the rhonda has been saying that the government is supporting the f. b l r the who to people who flew in 1994 here in d r c. and that's why they want us to fight back they who to people because they are lack of threats for their government, especially for run the future. that war is the reason why rhonda is being supported dead am 23 officially they are denying by waves the un mapping with

prove doc ronda is supporting the am trinity rebels. and so they have been denying official lead by rhonda has always been present to negotiate. we've become believe government the only one problem they especially a bout day in difference of the international community. they have all the proof that ronda is packing the d r c, but there is no political will to resolve this crazy the united states highest ranking, military officer has lashed. i'd had russia over the conflict in ukraine saying the countries of fences has led to civilian casualties under refugee crisis. mark, milly, though, is apparently forgetting the devastation caused by multiple american invasions of sovereign countries in recent decades. while the u. s. invoice to the u. n. this week also accused moscow violating the organizations charter. this is an attack on

the un charter. they had challenged the charter after returning from kiya. the u. s . ambassador to the united nations is not wasting any time she's unloading moralistic sermons on us waxing and waning about the evils of russia and the imperative of prolonging the war. now the un charter is a document that u. s. leaders pick up and put down at their convenience. sometimes they find it useful in rhetoric to invoke it. but other times they seem to forget that it even exists. the un charter says that countries can only use military force in their own self defense or with the authorization of the un security council. so let's be clear under the un charter, almost every recent military intervention or regime change operation was illegal. iraq, afghanistan, yugoslavia, none of these countries posed any threat to america. furthermore, the un did not grant the white house permission. john lease shock and awe in 2004,

the un secretary general actually admitted that the us invasion of iraq was illegal under the un charter. i have indicated it was not in conformity with the un charter . from our point of view, from the charter point of view, it was illegal. the intervention in libya was shady as well. all the un security council approved was un arms embargo, yet the nato countries fudge to the definition and use that to unleash cruise missiles and then eventually topple the islamic socialist government us airstrikes on syria. and the continued presence of u. s. troops on syrian territory are also completely illegal, no threat to america, and no approval from the u. and so when linda was lecturing the world. 4 about the use of force, she forgot to look in the mirror, or perhaps she forgot what country she represents. also, biden has made a number of interesting friday and slips when discussing the war and ukraine. inflation is war award problem right now. there's a war in iraq can impact on,

along with russia's doing this. you ms. war in ukraine. weather and i would pull him back from felicia and the army from the the care song. buffalo j is a city in iraq. biden must have thought of it because he voted to authorize the illegal unilateral invasion back in 2002. that was justified with lies about weapons of mass destruction. u. s. officials have actually admitted that in 2004 when their forces storms, felicia, they actually use a chemical weapons, a powder substance called white phosphorus that burns the eyes and skin. joe biden, son was actually among the u. s. troops occupying iraq after the illegal invasion, he served there in 20082009. so it's not really surprising that old joe might have lucia on his mind, but it's not just biden getting the conflicts confuse. remember bush's epic gaffe, the result is an absence of checks and balances in russia and the decision of one

man to launch a holier justified and brutal invasion of iraq. i mean of ukraine erect anyway. ah, biden and bush seemed to remember iraq pretty well, but it slipped linda's mind when she was giving us a lecture on why kiya needs more boat loads of american weapons. linda also likes to talk about alleged russian war crimes and the need for accountability. yes. enforcing international law and holding people accountable for war crimes is certainly important. isn't it? linda? is that why the united states put sanctions on the international criminal court prosecutor who was investigating u. s. war crimes in afghanistan? these coercive acts directed and an international judicial institution and its civil servants, are unprecedented. and constitute serious attacks against the court. the rome statute, system of international criminal justice and the rule of law more generally. now,

it's not shocking to hear the u. s. ambassador to the united nations talking this way. but we know that much of the world is rolling their eyes and laughing as they hear these words noting the utter hypocrisy of what's being said. but yet mainstream media just keeps nodding along as if there's nothing wrong with what she's saying. it's yet another case of the emperor has no clothes. i have to say that the hypocrisy shown there was absolutely staggering because just since world war 2, the entire 70 years since that time has been a litany of american aggression and invasions and brutality and savagery. unprecedented in the worlds in world history since the 2nd world war, they tried to dominate the world through absolute terror. we have to remember when they attacked iraq in 23. what they call that 1st day of attack was shock and awe. and we all watched on television,

the cruise missiles plowing into baghdad that night, explosions, hundreds of explosions, thousands of people incinerated. and then the staggering brutality of the occupation after that the world has not forgotten the price and everything they've done since they said as rules based order. well, you know that there's the un charter, there's international law for this. speaking of something else, but they never defined what that is. and i think the president putin defined it very well when he said their rules are nothing more, nothing less than we do. what you do, what we tell you to, no matter what it is, or else nor i just time in the program to turn to the us congressional mid terms. where republicans, how being projected to in slim majorities in both chambers of congress, the senate, and the house of representative. however, counting our votes in the election is ongoing 3 days later,

for the senate. the races in our a zona, nevada and georgia remain on decided at georgia. it will hold a run off. we know on december 6th, no reported expectations for c and almost evenly balanced, make up across all of congress. and as the mid terms fall, i continue, joe biden has hinted planned to stop. donald trump from running for the u. s. presidency in 2024. my allegedly using the power of the department of justice. we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by if we, if he does run, making sure he under legitimate efforts of the constitution does not become the next president. again. basically the sitting president, united states saying that he will use the power of his office to keep someone else out of office. and you know,

this is the kind of thing that the american public is used to hearing our politicians say about latin america or about some other country don't abuse. the process don't be a threat to democracy. joe biden just expressed what i think is a threat to democracy. his, his idea that he is going to be the judge of who's allowed to run for office. these people are using power regularly to get after their political enemies. so i do think they have a plan, i do think that they intend to execute a plan that will be putting donald trump in some jeopardy. the problem is, they keep saying donald trump has the walls closing in that he's in trouble. and yet they can't bring anything up. that's a real serious charge. so it's, it's like the little boy who cried wolf over and over again. but when the little boy cried, wolf controls the american government like joe biden. it's very frightening and it's a real threat. and again, it's a real threat to the american way of life to have
