good, huh? oh, ah, with headlines right now went out to international. the russian ministry of defense says his troops have crossed the denial river to take up defensive positions on the left bank of the waterway. this is following an announcement of a strategic regrouping. a un official admits she has no evidence but still says russian soldiers were using via gross right ukrainians. but she revealed, she was simply told this by some ukrainian official, ah, just days off to india is foreign minister was in moscow agree to expand economic ties with russia. us treasury secretary hedge to new delhi,

attempt the authors. he's better swap their allegiance away from moscow. in the program time to make a bit of a clean break, the leader of the socialist party, i was down to the telephone t that african colonial past still hangs heavily on the continent and is holding a has destroyed plenty. they have nothing to teach. yes, we have been called all night. we haven't been to the does live. we have been humiliated for about 600 years. a night here in moscow and a hefty show for you this hour. as always, it's great to have your company here with some of that i just now from the conflict in ukraine. of course, the current focal point for just about anyone involved is out of the heart of san

region. the russian defense ministry says all the troops have been successfully. we group to the left bank of the napa river. here are some of the latest retails now with ortiz, soft, even today, the russian defense ministry. and now that it's finished regrouping, it's true for the lab bank of the napa river in harrison region. according to the ministry, all units of the armed forces have taken up defensive positions and that no military equipment or weapons were left behind. also also billions who wish to leave the right bank were assisted in the evacuation in attempt to disrupt the process. the ukrainian forces launched dogs and so high mars rockets at the places of river crossings. 28th of reach were shot down by the russian air defense systems and in other fi for deflected from their intended targets. by means of electronic warfare, the defense ministry explained that the width roll comes in response to concerns that ukrainian forces could blow up a whole scale down, which would cause devastating flooding and the decisions. so really,

kate was unnecessary measure to save the troops on the ground and to protect the local population. meanwhile, ukrainian officials claim that troops have already entered the city of her song and have taken up positions in surrounding areas. also recording through multiple media reports the tunnel ski bridge that crosses that the napa river has been disabled, reported to the scene, say 2 sections of the main bridge were blown up, leaving the crossing in operable. as of now, the russian and miniature defense has not commented on that. we knew all a chechen, but tally and stationed on the front line, and the look and republic has been using a system of trenches and various forms of artillery to basically protect the area from attack ortiz, senior correspondent, motor guys the f one day to get up close and personal. 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 gulf. where now in the vicinity of children, up up up can you criminal this is the new frontline has a good stabilize either the front line. there are multiple layers of defense line fields, trenches bonkers as well as mobile 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 the unnaturally there. when we 1st arrived, there was nothing here. just a few dug out. so it went over, they attacked fan and tried to cut us off to keep us hold up under cover. i don't know where they were firing from everything they had. they scented us and cooked. oh mustang you and get through and you know, they were unable to break up, digging

a survival. how deep and how quickly you and trench dictates whether you believe or die. there has never been a conflict like these where no bomb was, can fly where drones rule the sky and she 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. port group of there aren't many ukrainians, mostly foreign mercenaries. for example, poles and germans are boys hear them. they mostly work in trios, tankless mortars and drones as 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 with. 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. still answerable to check and lead of grams, 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 of the streets of mary. you pull 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 at gasdio, haughty from new guns creegan, less than a month after alleging that russian soldiers had been supplied with viagra in order to rape ukrainians. that you ends at special representative on sexual violence has all of a sudden admitted she hasn't seen any evidence to corroborate hug claims. earlier

in the program, ortiz farrell, isabel joined me in the studio to take me through the details. though, remember when she alleged that russia was using by agra to give it to his soldier in order to rape women and by extension. she also cited children and said that there were hundreds of cases of rape. well, it turns out that she admitted to these pranksters who were posing as the head of the ukrainian foreign affairs committee, that this wasn't necessarily backed by any evidence. and that she had no jurisdiction. and that she was just repeating what ukrainian officials told her. let's have a listen. that information was important to me in the presence of the deputy prime minister if i miss, you know, and, and the deputy minister of foreign affairs. oh, it's good. you did not make any investigation about biography, something, but it's not mine. it's not my job to make it, and i do not have the monday. i sit in new york in an office in new york. my role

is not to investigate the investigation is going on by the human rights monitoring team and the international commission will be in their report. so there is nothing about about but she obviously washed her hands off of this. right. but it was a very happy accusation specifically saying it was a deliberate tactic and a military strategy. now, why would this be said with so much emphasis without having any evidence? well, it does pay russia in a negative light. and once that information is out, as you mentioned, the media just ran with it without actually looking into it. in fact, you know, a lot of these allegations have been fairly inaccurate. yeah, and, and of course, as you say, the media when absolutely full tilt with it, the truth comes out. is there any retraction in the media? no, absolutely none, fear rela, and of course, as you well know, it's not the 1st time the claims in this war have been cold out. ludmilla dennis about was eventually fired for regurgitating. similar lies about the russian

soldiers, particularly lying about them. building a 4 to 5 prison years as upper ocean nuclear power plant building concentration camps where they put ukrainians in there, which by the way is on wikipedia, cited as fact. she also lied about the raping women, gang thing, women and children, and specifically talked about how the russian soldiers were also committing violence against women. now these lives were so sensational that even ukrainian activists and ukrainian journalist said that they couldn't, these were hurting ukrainians, ukraine's credibility, and basically they were so sensationalize that they didn't really make ukraine look good. and she actually was able to admit to these 2 prank ers, that this was done in order to get weapons to ukraine. let's take a look. you go,

i'm what they told me, can you write that? there is a prison at this oper, ozi a nuclear plant, because official media sources are supposed to say this. oh, well, no more. the ombudsman didn't want to say it. he only says what the president's office tells him to be in baltimore. but i'm being asked to say this by the authorities by intelligence. it's almost a case of too little too late. when the truth finally does see that the light of day you can go back to the boot shop mass grave tragedy that was blamed on russia, the bombing of the nor stream pipelines that was blamed on russia. the attack on the approaching power plant rush has been guarding since march, that was blamed on russia as well. and yet, there's another story that was also debunked fear rela, the horrifying idea about gold teeth. yes. so these stories are extreme and they are sensational, as we mentioned. so this was about a plastic box that was filled with gold teeth, reportedly from ukrainian soldiers that were dead or alive. and this was,

of course, a cited on all the western media without any fact checking. and it turned out that these, the story was debug by a german outlet, and it actually belonged to a dentist. i'm indecency uniform. could these crowns have come from dead people? oh my god, i know they come from people i have treated all those years. i took these teeth out because they were fam, over the course of 30 years, i removed tens of thousands of young hobbes. this is just a fraction of them. so while it was true that there were teeth and that $200.00 of them were found outside an area near east atm, it was it, of course the story that the ukrainians came up with and the ukrainian media came up with. and what we're seeing is that this has often happening, and this isn't the 1st time in terms of the west and the u. n's perceived enemies. we saw this same thing in libya with new market daffy's army that was accused of using by agra to break women. and so we're,

we're talking about serious accusations of rape, of abuse, of children, of, of gang rape. even we're talking about just violence against women, to dehumanize. people is what the un wraps words were. so this, again, these strategies we've seen also be used recently by the same a rap, pamela patton in ethiopia, and man mark. so if we learn to spot these heart patterns, we can actually be able to debug them. and that is the good thing, worries out we are seeing an attempt to debug them, but we are seeing, as you've mentioned, 0 retractions on this or any sort of admittance or accountability. so good to have your company tonight or the u. s. is make every new to 10 to court india, the treasury secretary is in the country to take part in the us, india, economic and financial partnership. but much is being made of the timing. just days

after the indian foreign minister was right here at moscow expanding ties with russia over now to watch the corresponding route joins shut. am i picking up this star? us treasury said fi, janet yellow, that is in new delhi. and in her 1st with it to india, she sees india is an ally in her countries, but you would translate supply chain at an uncertain time for the global economy. she also gets more school, as india continues to buy more and more rush, you know, listening to what you said, take russian energy exports. russia has long presented itself as a reliable energy partner. but for the better part of this year to didn't, has weaponized rushes natural gas supply against the people of europe. it's an example of how malicious actors can use their market positions to try to gain geopolitical leverage, which disrupt trade for their own gains. recognizing energy ok, but not a mentioned about us being the one imposing sanctions on gosh, in november,

december, maybe the 7 would have price cap on russian oil. and it's been suggested that in the army benefit from the price cap on the oil. not really interested. we've seen a doctor as a sean go was the foreign affairs minister of india time and again speak pretty candidly about how india has benefited from buying a discounted oil from russia. how the d has worked pretty well. florida, a developing country like india, and it's people. now despite pressure from the west, india has continued to by this county, the way from russia. in fact, in the month of october, russia became the number one supplier to india. so bossing its traditional dominant or supply of saudi arabia and iraq and india wants to continue this cooperation. russia has been a steady and time tested partner, any objective evaluation of our relationship over many decades. we confirm that it

has actually served both our countries very, very well. well, maybe not something that washington might want to hear. in fact yet, and also to get a china thing. but the u. s. a slice the death to do with the 3 lines on manufacturers who's brought to class without you one rights while you are investments are also consistent with our values. certain solar panel materials produced in china like those from the st. john region are known to be produced with forced labor. our strategy will also create redundancies in our supply chain to mitigate over concentration risks. and we are also addressing our reliance on manufacturers whose approaches clash with our human rights values. interestingly, just recently us and also been questioning india on human rights too. but it seems like that's not an issue any more as yet in claim that both countries of the world's biggest democracies and they have to save the world from risky countries.

russia and china. the foreign affairs come with her and a member of india is rolling b j. b party. dr. gould shake says that no one is in a position to dictate foreign policy to india. the ot us all budget nation. and we believe in the foreign policy of india, so nobody can do it or it won't be keep our friendship and we have shown it when the word boss, thing they don't buy petrol from the one to form really. this isn't, and it's still buying or so indian india, russia friendship is strong one and it comes with the media industry. so the premise

is right there to share the same life. and we just, this friendship be alma, this friendship be part of a be, are not going to leadership, anything that's joining us so far for the program. apparently the developed world is suddenly turning back to nuclear power. that's one of the main takeaway so far from the un climate change conference on going and shut him shake. the push is happening despite criticism of africa's own efforts to develop atomic power. and it's so much of course for reliable and affordable energy. picking up a story are africa correspondent, credible the title. following last year's united nations climate change conference in glasgow, 17 african countries expressed an interest in acquiring nuclear as a base load to support its people and economies. and moved,

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 pop 27. nuclear is not only back on the agenda, but it has its own pavilion. so what's changed? well, the worst is a political because who actually told that nuclear is a no go, you know, an a to source and should not even be pursued under any closer comes. suddenly, we hear that the western countries are now actually pursuing nuclear, viciously u. k. s. would not be on the table, nor have france that is expanding his nuclear based. you have germany that is actually now looking at even building up nuclear plants and expanding its current capacity. so we're, we're seeing a hypocritical stance, but weston 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, where 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 con? 3rd, when it suits the global, not so much as a crisis, only when it's switched. 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 multi capacity based 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, 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 the constant independent t n. because of the pollution that has been caused by menu, us and 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 tab 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 as 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 you clear,

then you also answered 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, 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 politically, the waste is yet again showing its craft the double speak and climate hypocrisy god . i believe that philosophy enjoyed his work. the president of the socialist party of zambia chimed in on this very subject, saying that african nations need to be able to decide their own destiny. ultimately free from outside interfere. it's in terms of preserving the planets in tim's over global warming. they have destroyed the planets. we are where we are not because of all actions but to their actions. they have an enlist, an unprecedented consumerism that is destroying the planet. this beautiful prophets has destroyed the planets. they have nothing to teach us. we have been colonized, we have been treated than slims. we have been humiliated for over 6 under gifts. the forms changed continually but to the content of the exploitation of the

humiliation it assume. we help to put an end to this if we have to have a bit or wilt in more just mafia more human world. they don't understand that. or if they do it, they don't want it. nicholas, they want to ment in their lives bit, i don't expense into gun to continue forever. there has to be a time when that ends. we're going to continue to be at the a since the e. u is being increasingly drawn into the conflict in ukraine. that's the view of the hungarian president for set. the block will shortly be deciding just how much more money to send to key. if again, accept testing. sally 3 in the european union 1st decided to supply weapons, but 1st only non lethal. and then the you began to supply lethal weapons. now he, the ukranian president is training ukrainian military personnel on the territory of

european countries off the hand in the next coming days began to decide the financing burden of maintaining the ukrainian economy. thus, we're getting more and more involved in this conflict. european leaders have repeatedly stated that the e u is not a party to the ukraine conflict back in may, for example, french president emanuel michael said, quote, we are not at war with russia. we work as europeans for the preservation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. although my call is always talking about being at war with every policy problem. on the other hand, he was at war with cove id. he said that he was at war with climate change earlier this week, and he's repeatedly evoked a war economy, which is kind of a weird thing to say if you're not actually involved in a war. right. so a hungarian prime minister, victor, or bon, is like the bouncer at the casino. he just stepped in and blocked the use gambling of another 18000000000 euros on ukraine. yet german foreign minister,

angelina bare block, said that or bon on was the one quote, playing poker. it's re b e u, this playing naked poker here. and it's currently down to its boxer shorts. but that didn't stop the blocks chief diplomat yo's that burrell from ramping up rhetoric at a conference dealing with you defense mobility. we need to adapt our mobility system for our troops to be able to transport and deploy quickly all their military capacities. for example, it takes at least 5 days for across border transport of a military capacity from one country to another. that is to, along 2nd, the european defense agency will take forward the work on cross border movement permissions and custom formalities, establishing a network for smart logistics. so what's the point of talking about urgent troop movement and logistic movement around europe went just a few months ago. burrell himself was talking about how the block would run out of ammo in 2 weeks if it was ever involved in actual war. maybe the mobility were,

can get troops to just, you know, run really fast when they're out of ammo. friends, president mack hole just pulled up the drawbridge on francis military mission operation back can in this a hell region of africa this week. after being kicked out of molly earlier this year. but that hasn't stopped mac haul from talking tough on french and european defense at home. we must re learn how to mobilize the vital forces of our country to serve our sovereignty. our nuclear forces contribute through their own existence to the security of france in europe. so european officials are having a bit of a war drum jam session with each other these days. a french security and defense chief is even outspoken li, pessimistic about the odds of avoiding a direct conflict. the rupture introduced by the war and the reverse ability of russian strategic choices make it necessary to anticipate a confrontation with moscow. pretty hard to figure out what the e. u is trying to get out of talking tough on war when it's about the last thing

that they need or the european citizens need right now. a quote profound threat to the world. that's how washington's viewing strengthening relations between russia and iran. the diving and dipole comes off to moscow and terran signed multiple new oil and gas projects. we spoke to a ron's representative in the russian grain union to ali the red such a 40. and he says, u s. pressure has only made high stronger that roger is taking measures to overcome the food crisis. ah, got unmanifest that of course, the strategic interests of the 2 countries have become the reason that iran and russia growing closer for that we have many strategic interests. earlier, we were geographically very close, but culturally and economically thought we were very far from each other. and of course the pressure at the united states has had a huge impact and triggered this reproach moment in fuzzy. there's an old saying, a blessing in disguise of how to hang with him. rosa

moving him chip. no, we see the city of response, but to see it, russia and the asked you to be russian authorities, you don't was the problem of food security in the world. we didn't take really steps in this direction, but this is completely the opposite of those countries that are causing the crisis . but only n got talking a lot about democracy and solving this problem. but let's see where all the roots of the crisis adapt. all these countries irresponsibly making decisions. they all the real cause of the crisis that we have already seen. the ceiling possibly ship is mister putin recently noted. i me a small part of the grain was sure to pull countries on that gets all the loud slogans throat around in. ah, i'm on uncommon estrada cwa. i want to emphasize the following. when the countries of the organizations like the s c o or the eurasian economic union begin to develop that economic relations values better, start using their own currency in their activity. what impact does it have?

we're moving away from using the dollar and the euro. we can become immune sanction if, for example, rushing around the side to trade in roubles or rainy and rolls off all, for example, russia and china traded neck harness aysa, look at the countries that upon the bricks or the sci what a great potential. like having him as, as the for that, ah, my fake from what i am care. i think people a poly influenced by the media. if we look closely, we find out that people in these countries think differently than give you an example in life. we had a secret anonymous vote in germany or the u. s. we would see that not many people actually support this policy. i can assure you that only 5 percent makes you pull this and the rest, the wanting peace. you think the people at the, well don't see how many people were lost or killed, ma'am gamble on arrival yemen in syria more. but a double standards of culture has developed have all that for an attack on some countries is not aggression unless it is a defense of democracy to lot. if a country.
