an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well the party, we choose to look for common ground. ah, me now in the vicinity of children i propose, can you remember? this is the new frontline have stabilized on our tea crew is given access by a chechen battalion to see how it's successfully defending russian lines in the loop council. republic, also ahead, compet 27 hailed western country shift to atomic energy despite their previous condemnation of african nations doing the very same thing on initiative that could provide it with reliable power many years. not to films as you get this president lashes out criticism by western powers over its oil pipeline

project with east african neighbor tons and the have we hear the views of vocal noise really understand waving our president is writing someone telling them you are. hey, booking, he let him be any book with wherever you're catching the program from today across the globe. welcome to moscow and then use our on our t international. overnights artillery shelling has been reported in the her son region, one of the territories that recently voted in a referendum to join russia. river crossings under hydro, electric power plant, where apparently targeted and comes russian troops withdraw from parts of the region and made fears that a dumb connected with the power station could burst and cause devastating flooding . explosions were also heard in the loop ganske republic, where authority say u. s. supplied high mars rockets hits civilian areas,

damaging several residential buildings. a local business on public infrastructure. les chechen battalion is stationed out that republics frontlines using a system of trenches and artillery exchanges to protect the land from ukrainian attack. our senior correspondent, murat gas, the if so how it works for cent. this is at mat battalion. thousands upon thousands of it's fighters are stationed along some of the deadliest sectors of the front lines. and these is no exception with love. we're now in the vicinity of children up up off. can you give him a know this is the new frontline, has the good stabilize the front line. there are multiple layers 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 analysis. 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 centered us little but they couldn't get through. no, 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. all heath signature, a silent war fought between the east and the west. or group of there aren't many ukrainians, mostly foreign mercenaries. for example, polls and germans are boys hear them. they mostly work. and trias 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. i. e e n a in a math 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. long as black battalion has come a long way once made up almost exclusively of chechen fighters. now he concludes 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. you pull 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 the guns creegan, ukrainian authorities say they have detained a suppose, a kremlin propagandist publishing a photo of a person who bears an uncanny resemblance to german investigative journalists, thomas repair. ukraine's national security service has not this lose the mom's name, but instead posted a blurred photo box 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 other that it would not be the 1st time key of authorities habit. tempted to clump down on free press in the country ukraine. course everybody

a rational prop again, this tool is not celebrating ukraine. and this is not the 1st journalist 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 ukranian law is, well, it's prohibited to say anything which is not in line with ukrainian official propaganda. and asking questions are criticizing ukraine as a standard in this country. we have so many examples of journalists who disappeared 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 to meet us 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 their eyes is not happening. so these are the conditions we are living in already for, for a long time. thomas refer later in the program, washington's envoy to the un lashes, so it's up to russia for allegedly violating the organizations charter with it's offensive in ukraine. ignoring america's own invasions of multiple sovereign countries in recent decades now is ahead and war. uganda is president. how slum, quote, western double standards about green energy. now, as reports that merge that germany is dismantling a large wind farm to make way for a new open pit cold mind. now with europe reinvesting in its own fossil fuel power industry to bring mass ball power plants back on line. 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. well, the president's words came amid a long lasting dispute over the east african crude oil pipeline, a joint project by uganda, tons and the it's a big one. the pipeline plans, the stretch, run 1500 kilometers, starting from the lisa all the way down to the coast here at tons on the tons and knee and coastline of the project would help utilize. you can this. busy large oil supplies supply other countries through this area as well, and also attempt to stabilize oil prices in the region. while the operation launched by french oil trying to tell energies was criticized by the e. u parliament over a legit violations of environmental and human rights. the block called on the international community to pressure you gander, and thompson need to stop the project. the south african legislative assembly is

ignoring european pressure on these calling for the project to continue adding up the e. you should intervene less in african issues. but do you, parliament is over legislative? what they should do is go back to the you and focus on the issues that affect the people of the european union. will r t africa heard from you guns 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, is it our democracy or bears? who owns africa? is it still the loopholes of this world in 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. we also spoke to kelvin kem, who is a south african nuclear power advocate. and businessman and who says europe shouldn't try and impose it 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 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 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 it must automatically be good for us. and therefore we must do is we told in every can reproduce so little carbon dioxide. we should not be bullied into the 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 are turning to nuclear power as an energy source that was one of the main take away from the un climate change conference. the push is happening despite the wes criticizing africa for its own efforts to develop atomic power in its search for reliable and affordable energy or t correspondent code letter 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 at the base load to support its people and the economy. a move that was not embraced by the rich western 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, energy source and should not even be pursued under any classical sense. 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 is 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 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 it's the same story for the north african natural gas exports to europe, which leave many africans to ask. the question, is climate change only a concern?

when it suits the global not. lemme changes or crisis only when it suits the, you know, you know, the western congress but to the leaders 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 bays load 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 naughtier solutions viciously and ensuring that

they can stand independently n 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 western financial institutions had closed the tabs on funding it. but now, 7 years later, it themes, the tabs are opening again. last time we're 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 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 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, a power so we should leave it on the table. africa. energy demand is projected to grow by 80 percent. by the year 2040 and $4.00 people on the ground reliable, consistent, and affordable energy. it's more important before any talks of emissions, especially in the face of what themes like energy apartheid. but as they did with the south africa needed them politically. the waste is yet again showing its craft the double speak and climate hypocrisy got up. well, if that's what he and john is, vick, well, let's keep attention on the constant, because kenya is sending troops to the democratic republic of congo to help can show

a deal with insurgency in the countries east. the decision is expected to cost already hard head taxpayers almost $37000000.00 over the next 6 months. on many kenyan say their government's move is a mistake. our country is not stable yet. we've just come from election of reason. we're being told by our elected leaders that we don't have enough funds in the law . pressure is not the question that we are asking ourselves. was it necessary for these or just to be sent to the sea? now, i came when kenyans are languishing in hunger languishing in poverty language in total doubt, you know, of the country which will be in a position that we are so satisfied with, with what we have 1st before we have the, the amount of funds will be needed to, to ensure that native stability, india to see congo. it is a lot of money in getting into this issue a lot. i think it would be better 100. better had you want to manage the 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 and slides through done have already deployed military forces with uganda and terms in the expected to join soon. those troops on mondays allows the use of force to restore stability in the country. we spoke to a kenyan human rights activists to country to many of his fellow citizen supports nie ruby's decision to get militarily involved. this ability of convoys an issue that should have been dealt with a long time ago. it's an issue that should've sorted out because we cannot be dealing with the same problems of the $960.00 s. there is nothing wrong with the skin and fuck spear footing, the cost of a u. k. d. of deployments in the convent because of course,

these africans tradition. those are all brothers before and brothers. so we do not know which particular parts that's the k d a the katie of has been deployed, but we have what they've been deployed in those are people, much of the people from east africa actually came from the congo bisson. and so many reasons. this is going to run the aspect of electric electric energy the way that it's because it's all so much of the radio and, and even the cobble that he's running, the world comes from the commerce. so the idea we simply combo the bits, and that is why i'm supporting that while the democratic republic of congo itself has announced the mobilization of troops, it's in response to further offensive by the m $23.00 listen group, which 1st began in march, the insurgents helping gaining ground in areas near the border with uganda and rolanda. since the conflict broke out,

tens of thousands of people have been displaced. the d r. c. government accuses rolanda up supporting them religions. galli denies the allegations. we spoke to congress, space, journalist, kindly and balloon on the situation. ronda has been saying that the government is supporting the if the allow the who to people who flew in 1994 here in d r c. and that's why they want also to fight back they who to people because they are lack of threats for, for their government, especially for run the future. that's what is the reason why rhonda is being supported the m 23 officially they are denying by waves. the un mapping will prove dot ronda is supporting the m trinity rebels. and so they have been denying official lead by rhonda has always been present to negotiate. we've become

the government, the only one problem the especially a bout they indifference of the international community. they have all the proof that rhonda is talking, they see, but there is no political will to resolve this crazy. the united states highest ranking, military officer has lush, died at russian over the conflict in ukraine, saying the offences lead to civilian casualties under refugee crisis. mark, milly, though, conveniently, sites that the devastation caused by multiple american invasions of sovereign countries in recent decades. while the u. s. invoice to the u and this week, also excuse 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 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 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? there's a war in iraq can impact on room with rushes doing this. you ms. war and you crank whether or not they're pulling 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 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. 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, how 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 shocked and all. 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 these crimes and everything they've done since they said as a rules based order. well, we know that there is a un charter, there's international law, but they're 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. ok. just time on the program to bring you the latest on the u. s. congressional mid term republican being projected to win slim majorities in both chambers of congress. the senate and the house of representatives over counting of votes in the election is ongoing 3 days later. for the senate, the races in r, a zone in nevada and georgia,

remain undecided. the latter of which will hold the rough vote on december 6th, reported expectations for sea and almost evenly balanced make up across all of congress. and as the mid term election followed, continues, job biden has hinted the plan to stop donald trump from running for the u. s. presidency in 2024 by allegedly using the department of justice just 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 a president willing to say that out loud, and then do it. last how the news headlines this friday are shipping up. i'll be back at the top with all the.
