additionally, the hardy out of power performs much better, particularly since now the economy is in such a poor state and by is unpopular. these elections prove the country is as divided as ever a lunch right now. one off into national as the russian ministry of defense says its troops have now cross to napa river to take up defensive positions on the left bank. all about waterway following announcement or by strategic recruiting with western powers turn to atomic energy despite that previous contamination of african nations during the very same thing. it's basically an initiative that could have provided africa with reliable energy many, many years ago. and that comes out uganda as president lashes out of criticism by western powers over its oil pipeline project with east africa. neva tends in

0 nausea international. we hear the views of the lo, i didn't really understand wave in our praise been, he's writing someone telling them you are he but he let him be any book with well for friday. it certainly loaded up into a big program for you today. appreciate your company with us here when we do start . and now of course, with the very latest from the ukranian conflict, the current focal point, naturally at that of the how to southern region. now the russian ministry of defense as his troops have all regrouped now on the left bank, also to napa. right, that i just saw some level of name at the hearse on front today at 5 o'clock in the morning. moscow time, rushing armed forces completed, crossing to the left bank of the nipper river. not a single piece of military equipment and weapons was left on the right bank. all

russian service men crossed the river formations and military units of the russian armed forces took up defensive lines and positions which were prepared in advance. there was no loss of personnel, weapons, military equipment, for the russian troops. all civilians who wished to leave the right bank part of the her son region were assisted in the vacuum ration during the night. the enemy tried to disrupt the transportation of the civilian population and the transfer of troops to the left bank of the neighbour ukrainian armed forces attacked the crossing 5 times during the night using the american high mars rocket system. russian air defense systems shut down 28 rockets. the regrouping comes after an earlier announcement to withdraw from that side of the river to save troops on the ground and ultimately protect that is the local population. affords in response to concerns that the cough sky a damn upstream of back could be blown up by ukrainian force is ultimately causing a deluge. also according to multiple media reports,

the and ton of sky bridge that crosses the napa river has now been disabled reporters at the scene, say 2 sections of the main bridge were blown up, leaving the crossing an operable. as of now, there's no official confirmation on that from the russian and ministry of defense. meanwhile, a chechen battalion the station did another territory frontline in the lines for public as been using a system of trenches and artillery to protect the land from attack. is autism or does be of with an up close check. 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 with the really love we're now in the vicinity of children or papa, can you criminal this is the new frontline has it has stabilized the front

line. there are multiple layers of defense line fields, trenches bonkers as well as mo vall reserves all over the place, rushes pulled back from haddock 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 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 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 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. ah, e ina, in a mass, low blood 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 with, with no athletes 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, while meanwhile ukrainian authorities say they detained a suppose it kremlin propagandist. publishing a photo of a person who bears an uncanny resemblance to german investigative journalist thomas roper ukraine's national security service hasn't disclosed the name of the i guess the name of the man i should say. but instead they just posted a blood photo that appear to have been taken from an article written by mr. roper. so we contacted the man a question, who replied, saying he wasn't the person to talk to the once and particularly surprised either

the ukraine. and of course everybody irrational prop, again, this tool is not celebrating ukraine, and this is not the 1st journalist who was arrested in your crate 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 as a standard 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 western media as ignoring this as if it wouldn't happen. so again,

it's an inflammation war and the western 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. let's get that with us today. uganda, the president has slammed what he called western double standards. about green energy is reports emerge that germany is now dismantling a large wind farm to make way for a new open pit. coal mine now with the europe reinvesting in its own fossil fuel power industry to bring mock ball power plants back on line. in a truly perverse twist, we are told new western investment in african fossil fuels is possible, but only for oil and gas resources that will be piped and shipped to europe. this is the purest parker see. so the presidents work came a, made a long lasting dispute over the east african crude oil pipeline is a joint project by both uganda and cons. any of the pipeline plans to stretch

around 1500 kilometers. you can see the route right here, starting all the way from lisa up top, running all the way right down to the port city of tango on the coast. a project would help to utilize uganda is very large all reserves supply other countries as well through the townsend in seaport and potentially help to stabilize all prices in the region of the project launched by french oil. dr. total energies has a face criticism from the u. parliament over alleged violations of environmental and human rights. the blocks call on the international community to pressure. you gone to an times in a, at a stop the pipeline being built in the international energy atomic agency. as i previously you said, the global climate goals wouldn't be met if new fossil fuel projects were not stopped you. this is in the east african legislative assembly that i was ignoring external pressure as we understand calling for the enterprise to continue. 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. all right, so we hit the streets and a went to hear from the locals in uganda. how they feel about all this this may have never been a better lawyer list of the wisdom concept of extractive industry like my head of state. but today 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 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 step 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, letty was anything other in the program here to our kelvin kamma, south african nuclear power advocate. and businessman, who says that europe shouldn't try and impose it solutions on africa, which i desperately though, does need 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 most automatically be good for us. and therefore we must do is 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, that 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, the western countries of tony the nuclear power as an energy source, has been one of the main takeaway so far from the un climate change conference in egypt. and the push is happening despite the west criticizing africa for its own efforts to develop atomic power in it. so it's reliable and affordable energy.

let's get the scoop now are africa correspondent is carol attack 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 prop 27. nuclear is not only back on the agenda, but it has its own pavilion. so what's changed? well, there was a super 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 u. k. s would not be on the table,

nor have friends 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 x was 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 some changes or crisis only when it suits the, you know, you know, the western congress went 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. it us is actually given priority of developing a snotty asset as ensuring that we can have nuclear capacity bays, and more from all our sources. almost all africans are affected by the lack of reliable bays load energy every single day. african congress needs to be very decisive. we need the industrialization to win it development. 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 independent g 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 went 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 of 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 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 our less 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 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 did when south africa needed them politically, the waste is yet again showing its craft the double speak and climate hypocrisy. god. i believe that philosophy enjoyed his work for the president of the socialist party of zambia, believes that certain professional partners, i don't have a right to dictate to africa what it should be do in terms of preserving the planets in terms ofa, global warming. they have destroyed the planets. we are, we are we not to because of all actions but to their actions. they have an enlist and then pretty do it to consumer resume. that is destroying the planet. yes,

beautiful prophets has destroyed the planets. they have nothing to teach us. we have been colonized, we have been treated done slims. we have been humiliated for over 600. yes. the forms changed continually, but the content of the exploitation of the humiliation is the same. we have to put an end to this. if we have to have a better world in more just mafia more human world, they don't understand that. or if they do it, they don't want it because they want to comment in their lives bit, i don't expense. it's going to continue forever. there has to be a time when that ins we're going to continue to be at the a since the local, the ukranian authorities removed the historic monument of hungarian heritage and

the western part of the country. it's provoked a bit of a backlash from budapest, the committee strongly condemned to senseless and barbaric action aimed at intimidating the hungarian people of trans copier, destroying the universal cultural heritage and poisoning hungarian ukrainian relations. the hungarian foreign affairs committee slam what a cold, the quote, scandalous circumstances of the monuments removal. the claims that by destroying the cultural side, key of violated international and bilateral agreements, to protect the ethnic identity of national minorities going further. hungary said that the crime has not upheld the democratic requirements of european union candidates states. well, despite hungry, being a member of both nato and the e. u. but a passion is not joined western states and providing care with any kind of military support. moreover, it is banned weapon deliveries from being delivered. so you crane through its territory, spoke with george as well as in the global policy institute,

a think tank, who says that ukraine authorities of actually a oppressed on garret minorities for years. but the e u. apparently tons of blind, i will have a mission for yourself. ukrainian authorities. they've been targeting the hungarian minority for some years now. targeting their cultural institution. they've been targeting their educational institution and above all been targeting their ability to study in their own language. and this is, of course, the violation of all the united nations resolutions, european union policy and so on. but the european union as always overlooks this. so there's nothing new in the ukraine. no, not the art is targeting um, gary and culture. it is all this the path and also of the current ukrainian policy of extreme hostility toward hungary because hungary has been the outlier

in europe and has refused to supply any alms to ukraine, as also explicitly refused to allow its territory to be used to supply the ukraine, this of course, as it infuriated the key able for it is and so this is, this is what they're doing. now with this cultural institution is just part of their attempt just to stick it to the hung ariens debbie with us for this. how it's program, digital currency, so their values plunge on thursday at the come off of the world's biggest crypto currency exchange pulled out of a deal to rescue a smaller rival as a result of corporate due diligence, as well as the latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and alleged us agency investigations. we have decided that we will not pursue the potential acquisition of f t x. the collapse of the deal. so the price of bitcoin go to

a 2 year low with other platforms following a us regulators for concerns over the f d. x exchange. and the firm's apparent missed management of its clients. assets. reports of the company's financial health reportedly triggered $6000000000.00 worth of withdrawals in recent days. and we spoke to crypto currency expert, chris adams, who showed his thoughts on the current situation and the potential future. like any nascent industry, it's an industry that's vastly under regulated, which is a very actually big issue for the industry. it's an industry that a lot of governments don't understand which also causes problems because in order to regulate you have to understand and what we've seen here. and we've seen previously the 1st have a big trip to exchange crushed with from exchange called mountain dogs, which is monumental. this one is actually a lot bigger, but at that time, people for the world was over and you're completely right. if you've ever read this to toast white paper on bitcoin, the entire idea was to build

a peer to peer electronic cast system, right? so the idea is doesn't get regulated, but you do need to regulate the business and practices round running a business in this space when you consider for example, inflation, which is particularly hitting many, many positive. all right, now you've got an energy crisis in europe in america as well. and, and people are, you know, trying to shift that money in many, many ways to try to preserve and, and insure the money. what about emerging economies? i think in these emerging economies, right? let's look at africa, for example, africa is the continent with the largest amount of natural resources in the world, which it starkly have really been stolen from that continent. and again, the country that you and i come from did, did pretty well out of it. and what, what crypto can do, this is one of the interesting things is because i wanna get in the nuts and bolts of the technology if you like. but it does allow you to create accountability for all of those assets where they go. and what that does is that removes that leakage, that happens where, whereby you know the guy in the,

that's the guy in the village that's, that's mining gold and he sells it to this guy. he sells it this guys sounds that this guy. he sold it over there for a dollar. the guy at the end in london in the commodity desk is probably selling it for $20000.00. so really crypt the currency and the actual technology rather than just thinking about the currencies is what i think would transform africa for the for the better and any emerging market. or you can read much more about that right now on our website. of course, i thought com appreciate you joining us for this. our show a lot of asi, international with a proud name becomes the applicant and engagement. it was the trail.

when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. unlikely speaking, the g o. p can claim victory in the mid term elections, but that victory is humiliating. traditionally, the party out of power performs much better, particularly since now the economy is in such a poor state and by the way is unpopular. these elections proved the country is as divided as ever with the 1st time in history and entire countries, culture has been canceled to the very modern weapon cancelled culture. really desert wonderful language, sheffield my love so little william frog yet. just me sitting there with the phrase

now, particularly for us to counseling russian culture. yet i know what secrets of she was coming because it's convenient, my fuel, which will be all that is chilling, whatsoever that go with that most of the separate yolanda e. normally, what russia is created over the past 1500 years is now questioned, actually condemned, reviled and rejected. a bill of bramble, there's a lot closer on a whole bunch. thank you said a little short list. joining total condemnation, gross daily, and now includes dostoevsky to cascade shostakovich that i need to you a quick tour left. but yes, you can see that what the time will you do? obama lee, you're not gonna do that a lot with

her. it is assisting with the boss with you are going to steve, them, grab it, miss, you owe it to them with key at the when ocean, just keep the process is to dealer miles complete with us for go with the phone with you of the puts it professional in the city and the one you put up a list of all, but yet with ah,

today i'm authorized the additional strong sanctions on his on soon. thank you. let's glycine so fis on. she'll will happy. jermel lewis, russia, a special military operation in ukraine has triggered a wave of anti russian sanctions from the west, and it keeps coming up with new ones almost every day. this package will include financial sanctions that harshly limit russia's access to the capital markets. foreign companies quitting russia. atm cause will blow tim banks disconnected from the international team and system shop fluctuate. sions, antola and euro exchange rates followed. can rush and business overcome this nap when i trouble up on a couple more stuff. so kirkland would know what the 20th should i land on the chela, monica from anybody my list the deal is but i'm sure she a material with what he met, that he woke up the pillar on that. that is correct. can you say at long see, near our board didn't nasty to huddle. she instrument that i am his mother. he said, can i have the garden on the pony now? no. was more misty. so it will soon the issue of mislead put to the is it the

schools with little boy with so she can move balsam was loosing with them. of nicholas both foot mobile opposite to mysterious groups from semi moving for comics. moscow called the sipping of his metal. so you funked football for his shots? so drinking bugs. hon good is a for what do submission, due to sanctions, foreign clothing and shoe stores in russia, closed one out for another. at times, customers formed huge queues. in many cases, foreign companies decided to stop working overnight, creating even more panic. a shoe shortage in russia. we went to jag, it's done looking for an answer where some, 600 entrepreneurs are in the shoe business. moran july of is one of them. so, so.
