[000:00:00;00] ah ah, we are now in the vicinity of children, but both can you claim and love. this is the new frontline as of the stabilizer, r t crew is given access by a chechen battalion to see how it's successfully defending russian lines in the loop council. republic call 27 hales western countries shift to atomic energy from despite their previous condemnation of african nations doing the very same thing on initiative that could have provided that consonant with reliable power many years ago. and that tells us you down this president lashes on a criticism by

a western powers over its oil pipeline project with east african neighbor tons. and yet we hear the views of local i'd known to really understand wave in our president . he's writing someone telling them you are he he let him be any book with from moscow to the world. this is our team. great to have your company today. my name's unit o'neill. overnights artillery shelling has been reported in the her some region, one of the territories that recently voted in a referendum to join russia. river crossings on the hydro, electric power plant were apparently targeted and comes as russian troops withdrawal from parts of the region. amid fears that dom connected with the power station could burst and caused devastating flooding. explosions were also heard in

the loop. dance republic where authority say you asked supplied hi mars rocket said civilian areas, damaging several residential buildings. a local business. on public infrastructure . i chechen battalion is stationed ut's knots republics front lines using a system of trenches and artillery changes to protect the land from ukrainian attack or senior correspondent, murat gas. they have saw how it works firsthand. this is, am matt battalion, thousands upon thousands of it's fighters are stationed along some of the deadliest sectors of the front lines. and this is no exception. out of the really love we're now in the vicinity of children up above. can you give him a no? this is the new frontline has a good stabilize the frontline. there are

a multiple layers. busy of defense line fields, trenches bonkers as well as mobile reserves all over the place. rushes pull back from caddick of region following ukraine successful counter attack only and did hear the ukrainian military and nationalist groups have been unable to break through the onion. actually this, when we 1st arrived, there was nothing here, just a few dugouts. they attacked them 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 centered us cooked over, but they couldn't get through. and you know, they were unable to breakthrough digging a survival. how deep and how quickly you and trench dictates whether you leave or die. there has never been a conflict like this where no bombers 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 shells 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. i. e e n a in a mass mobilized attack from what we understand they currently 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. a well, i flat battalion has come a long way once made up almost exclusively of chechen flood has 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 torn the army of tens of thousands, hardened into veterans by merciless battles and the streets of mary. you 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 in our commanders. more ad gasdio, haughty from new guns, creegan. kennedy story to bring you to j ukrainian authority, say they have, they attained us. suppose at kremlin propagandist publishing a photo of a person who bears an uncanny resemblance to german investigative journalists. thomas rooper, ukraine's national security service has not disclosed the man's name, but instead posted a blurred photo that appeared to have been taken from an article written by mister rooper ortiz reached out to thomas. he replied, saying he wasn't the person who was detained, but added that it would not be the 1st time ukrainian authorities have attempted to

clump down on free press in the country. ukraine. of course, everybody, a rational propagandist who was not a celebrating ukraine, and this is not the 1st journalist who was arrested in ukraine and since the beginning of the operation. and so these are things that are happening there all the time. and we know that the ukrainian law or is, well, it's prohibited to say anything which is not in line with ukrainian official propaganda. and asking questions are criticizing. ukraine is standards in this country. we have so many examples of journalists who disappeared in ukraine. we have the, the french guy, ah, who told what he seen and 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, and international reaction. you, you know, this, the western media is ignoring this as if it wouldn't happen. so again,

it's an informational war and the west view and ukraine are, they only tell what they want to tell and everything else turned their eyes is not happening. so these are the conditions we are living in already for, for a long time. tell us refer on later in the program, washington's envoy to the un lashes. i said russia for allegedly violating the organisations shorter with it. so fencing in ukraine, ignoring america's own invasions of multiple sovereign countries in recent decades, that is ahead and war. uganda is president, has slammed to quote, western double standards or by green entity. as reports emerge, that germany is dismantling a large wind farm to make way for a new open pit cold night. now as europe reinvesting in its own fossil fuel power industries to bring moth balled 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 disputes over the east african crude oil pipeline, that is a joint project by uganda and tons and the year that the pipeline plants, the stretch quite a distance around 1500 kilometers, starting from below. lisa, right, the way down to the coast of tango, this port in tons in the another project would help utilize uganda is large or reserves at supply other countries through the tanzanian c port and also a name of it is to stabilize old prices in the region the operation was launched by french origin total energies, but was criticized by b e u parliament over a legit violations of environmental on human rights principles. the block called on the international community to pressure you guys down times in the, at

a stop. but that resolution was revoked only 2 days, by the way, before the ongoing come $27.00 conference, the east african legislative assembly. while it's ignoring european pressure and is calling for the project to continue adding. now the e, you should intervene less in african issues. do you, parliament is of the legislative? what they should do is go back to the eel and focus on the issues that affect the people of the european union. what are t africa also 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 to be screaming, the french when that something of national interest is at speak. i've always had 3 questions. the issue of sovereignty. who owns it? our democracy or bears, who owns africa?

is it still but new opponents of this world over the past ought to be we gaining independence. i feel this guys a vs over that. so we don't have to ask for 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 and tapes, 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 waive in our president is writing someone telling them you are hypocrite. he let him be any pl, quick 2. or we also spoke to kelvin kam, a south african nuclear power advocate on businessman, who says europe shouldn't try and impose it's solutions in 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 take 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 any 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 must automatically be good for us. and therefore we must do as we told in africa, we produce a 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. while increasingly western countries are turning to nuclear power as an energy source, that is one of the main takeaway so far from the new in climate change conference. the push is happening despite the west criticizing africa for its own efforts to develop atomic power in its search for reliable and affordable energy. r t correspondent, co, rambo. lit hunter can tell us more. following last year's united nations climate change conference in class gold, 17 african countries expressed an interest in acquiring nuclear as a base load to support its people and economy and moved that was not embraced by the rich west the nations or their financial institutions. but as i 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 closer competence. suddenly, we hear that the western countries are now actually pursuing nuclear viciously u. k. s. would not be on the table, nor have friends that is expanding his nuclear base. you have germany that is actually now looking at even building up nuclear plants and expanding its current capacity. so we, we, singer hypocritical stance. 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 to europe. we're up 720 percent and they have

not even picked yet. and is 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 so much as a 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 and a source of almost all africans are affected by the lack of reliable bays load energy. every single day. african countries needs to be very decisive. we need the industrialization, we need to development. and we need a really robust energy solution, which in this only case we're nuclear,

is the only solution available right now. an african cultural should be pursuing naughtier solutions viciously and ensuring that they can stand independently and because of the pollution that has been caused by many of us in 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 side. i think as an added country doesn't have water. when you have nuclear, then you're also answer the issue of water provisions 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 will

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 alice that 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, a power. so we should leave it on the table because 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 did when south africa needed them political, the west is yet again showing its craft the double speak and climate hypocrisy god

. i believe that a lot of he enjoyed his work. well, let's keep attention on the continent because kenya is sending troops to the democratic republic of congo to help kinshasa deal with an insurgency in the countries east. the decision is expected to cost already hard. hit taxpayers almost $37000000.00 over the next 6 months on many kenyan say there governments move on. that is a mistake. our country is not stable yet. we have just come from elections of reason we're being told by our elected leaders that we don't have enough funds to know why pressure is not the question that we are asking ourselves. was it necessary for these or just to be sent to the, to see now i pay when kids languishing in, in hunger language, in poverty language, in total doubt, you know, of the country which will be in a pollution that looks like it's play with the, with what we have 1st,

before we hit the amount of funds will be needed to ensure that native stability, india to see congo does a lot of money can engaging into this issue a lot thing to be better. 100, which is very hot. you weren't to manage the allocated military money, then cover spending for equipment operations and allowance payments. the joint decision to send troops to the d r. c was made by east african community member states last summer. but randi and sudan have already deployed military forces with you, gander, and tons in the expected to join those troops. a mandate about allows the use of force to restore stability in the country. we spoke to a kenyan human rights activists who country to many of his fellow citizens supports the rule based decision to get involved this ability of convoys and he should, i should have been dealt with long time ago. is an issue that should have salted

doubts because we cannot be dealing with the same problems of the 19 sixty's. there is nothing wrong with that skin and taxpayer putting the costs over g. a. u acadia deployment in the congo because of companies in these african for duration . those are all brothers. the people in columbus are all brothers. so we do not know which particular pots the acadia for a day the katie has been deployed. but whichever that what it has been deployed in those are people, much of the people from east africa actually come from my, the coma bisson coma so many resources. it's going to run the aspect of electrical, electrical energy it within it, vickers and so on. so much of the uranium and, and even the cobbled that he's running, the wired comes from the congress. so the idea we simply campbell, the bits and that is white. i'm supposing that, well, the democratic republic of congo itself has announced the mobilization. it's in response to an offensive by the m $23.00 militant group,

one which began in march. the surgeons have been gaining ground in areas near the border with huge gun rolanda. 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 golly denies the allocation. we spoke to con glee based journalist guy lane bulb on the situation. rhonda has been saying that the government is supporting the if the the who to people who flew in 1994 here in d r c. and that's why they want also to fight back to people because they lack of threats for, 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

its proved doc ronda is supporting the am trinity rebels. and so they have been now denying, officially by rhonda, has always been present to negotiate. we've become the government, the only one problem, especially a bout they indifference of the internet community. they have all the proof that rhonda is packing the d. c, but there is no political will to resolve this creases. the united states highest ranking, military officer, has much died at russia over the conflict in ukraine, seeing the offensive lead to civilian casualties under refugee crisis. mark, milly, though, conveniently, side stuff. the devastation caused by multiple american invasions of sovereign countries in recent decades. while the u. s. envoy to the u. n. this week also accused most school violating the organizations charter. this is an attack on the

un charter. they have 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 us 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 u. s. 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? there's

a war in iraq can impact on with russia's doing distributed war in ukraine weather and i would pull him back from felicia and the army from the the care song. buffalo, georgia, 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 stormed felicia, they actually use the 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. correct. anyway, 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 boatloads 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. 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 of brutality and savagery. unprecedented in the world 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 shocked and all . and we all watched on television,

the cruise missiles ploughing into bag 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 these crimes and everything they've done since they said as rules based order. well, we know that there is a 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 ok, just time in the program to bring you some updates on the u. s. congressional mid terms, where republicans are now projected to win slim majorities in both chambers of congress. the senate and the highest representatives, however, counting of votes in the election is ongoing. 3 days later, for the senate,

the races in arizona, nevada, and georgia, remain on decided the laughter of which will hold the ruler. food on december 6th reported expectations foresee an almost evenly balanced make up across all of congress. and as the mid term election followed, continues, joe biden has hinted other plan to stop. donald trump from running for the u. s. presidency in 2024. by allegedly using the department of justice. we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by if we, if he does run on making sure he under legitimate efforts of our 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
