as a new business, a company that were stamped a when a bundle of 11, i think it's enough of a story that shaped the week. russia withdrawal difference of the 50 on i made visit ukrainian pac on local diamond good pulled catastrophic flooding. the fact that i'm here today with a delegation to review our cooperation, to see how we can take it forward to create a long term sustainable basis. i can change most of all right, and india focus on and it's a bit of a global security as moscow house in the is for a minute with feel our

a land and ocean and landfills like that. one of the un climate conference address is rising belief in western countries come under fire using africa, the dumping ground for millions of times of plastic. with the polling the scenes a mess of males, male in violet. i'm joe biden. both see about his veto power. contentious issues in the us, mid term election, voters decide who will controlled congress for the next year. with hello and welcome to the weekly r t internationalist. just off for a i'm here in moscow. i'm right mommy. it's great to have you with take

a look at story this out. russia has completed withdrawing his shoots from the city of has on, and other locations on the right angle, but in the river. this being done to avoid potential unnecessary losses among russian forces amid the danger, the printing attire could destroy a critical local bomb bus. according to the command, the joint russian forces political for move with some brazilian from the enemy is foreign randomly at the city. for this reason, it was decided to evacuate the population from the right side of the river. we provided everything possible to ensure the evacuation the plans of the enemy to create flooding of territories can lead to dangerous consequences. this is confirmed by the constant shelling of the co hob sky hydro electric power station. under these conditions, the most appropriate option is to organize defenses along the line of the denice river. when you're ready for catastrophic flooding might have occurred. if think

raining, forces has succeeded in destroying the dam, the high water would also have complicated supply routes which were being used to deliver food to the russian army, as well as the local residents. and eliminating the down would jeopardize fresh water supplies. the neighboring crimea region, now to reduce the danger to civilians. russia has been evacuating tens of thousands of local residence from the harrison region and its capital in recent weeks. now, the troop withdrawal was supported by russia's defense ministers. okay. show who also ordered the creation of a new line of defenses. now the commander of the joint russian force is also reported on us on the stable situations in other frontline areas and the successful interception of route 80 to 90 percent of the incoming ukrainian rockets by russian forces. he also said that the ukraine army lost around $12000.00 soldiers last

month alone, about 8 times more than the russian losses. now the former us, sorry. earlier this week, we spoke to a former us marine corps in terms of the scott ritter. he says that by relocating troops, russia has deprived ukraine of its pretext for destroy the death. if russia remained on the right bank and continued to defeat ukrainian attacks the ukrainians once their forces spent might come to the conclusion that the only hope they have in preventing a rushing counter attack is to destroy the dam and flood the region. so i think this is a, a prophylactic move on the part of the russians to prevent the ukrainians trying to have justification for blowing up the dam. and the russians had been preparing for this by evacuating the civilian population. ready and critical infrastructure, so it's not like the russians just made this up. the russians have been pointing out for some time now of the risk that is accrued by any forces and civilians.

imagine next, let's say the russians didn't evacuate, and next week the damage is struck by ukrainians in is breached. now the russian leadership has to explain why they didn't evacuate, why they didn't, if the civilians out of the way why they didn't get the russian service members either way, if they thought it was a possibility, why didn't they take the appropriate actions in if format that has cool fil coastal cooperation with russia. f, a made what he calls a stressful situation on energy markets. on his don quotes, i was at the minutes of media conference in moscow. what do you see as the intent of the west, specifically the united states in pressuring india for these relations? what stance will india take in the future towards russia as a result of this pressure? the fact that i'm here today with a delegation to review our co operation,

to see how we can take it forward to korea, to long term sustainable bases. i think shays, most of all, i think you can see the obvious interest and commitment. i would that in keeping that relationship strong, instead, that clip we just saw was the indian foreign minister's response to a question that i was lucky enough to ask at the press conference that came after his meeting with russian foreign minister, sir gay, laugh rav i wanted to know what india was planning to do in the face of increasing the western pressure for its friendly relations with russia. and if new delhi would, i join in on the western calls for a price cap on russian oil exports. but based on the indian foreign minister's response, it looks like india is not really buying into that. he reiterated that russia and india have long, had very close relations and that new delhi relies on moscow to provide the indian people with affordable energy. as regards the, you know,

the or the oil supply issue, we know that is that is a, an festival that is a stress on the energy markets. it is odd fundamental obligation to ensure that the indian consumer has the best possible access on the most advantageous terms to international market. on induct respect. ah, quite honestly, we have seen that a d. indian rashad relationship has worked to advantage. now we also heard from the russian foreign minister, circ a laugh, rob, who said that the talks were very successful. he said that he talked a bit about plans on the russian side to provide india with clean atomic energy, as well as plans to increase the trade volume between the 2 countries in the future . as well as we have welcome to the positive dynamics of our bilateral trade. by september, the turnover had increased more than 130 percent. the provision of a new site for the construction of very russian designed nuclear power plant will

allow india to provide clean and safe energy in the future. we discussed in detail the state of the prospects for military technical cooperation, including the joint production of modern types of weapons. so it looks like what foreign minister circ a live or offset about these talks about them being successful was correct. and the decades long friendly relations that russia and india have enjoyed will continue to persevere. despite the fact that around the world, there's quite a tense geopolitical landscape right now. earlier this week we spoke to don mclean gala manila based geopolitical analysts and also, and he says new to these cooperation with moscow has had a positive impact on his economy. as access a russian all has helped spurred growth. the visits objectives are multi pronged and multi dimensional and can passing politics, economics, and defense in the context of bilateral times regional affairs and the overarching security architecture of the international. just now india and russia continuously

engage in a series of multilateral institutions. the g 20 bricks, s c o r i c has discussion will also incorporate the a hand spent of india, russia partnership in the context of these frameworks. defective me address a series of issues and possibly contribution towards the transitioning, multi polar international order, particularly in the eastern hemisphere. so this is what we can see as a projection of the time tested and practical partnership between india and russia . there are 2 things that we have to understand in terms of any perspectives. one is that india is a rising race, power, and energy. you will continue with the rise of any state hands. it is necessary for india to make sure that it's maintain unhampered supply of oil, oil at a price that is, of course, fitting for its growing demand. and i do not think that it should be in anyone's

interest to constrain the growth of a state that has the capacity to contribute positively towards the international system. second, india is well aware of its responsibilities. the government's primary responsibility is to its people and to the overarching national interests and security interests. one of the most challenging a geopolitical neighborhood for india is faced with it will have to balance this of course, and we could definitely see more proactive cooperation with india, russia, particularly the energy sphere as well. why don't take a look that was being guy on the 27th from now the world leading recycling organization, plastic bank will take part in the ongoing comp 27, convers in egypt to once again raise the alarming rates and global pollution. the african continent is the hardest hit having become a gigantic dumpsite, plastic waste from western countries. of course one kind of tougher bread, the mountains of rubbish to bring us the story, plastic issue,

we quit us. it fills our air, lands and oceans and landfills like this are full of it from my this current tooth brushes, shoes, clothes, tv removes you name it. it's a plus big world, but africa is faring better than is global counterparts. and according to the u. n . environmental program, the continent produces the least amount of global plastic waste and most of our ways is also organic. so where does this come from? when eva, people talk about recipe info to the city to south africa. the only being ethic in business at that it is for the country, the environment that is not even be discussed at the stage. 20 companies as said to be responsible for more than half of the global single use plus big waste.

and none of them are in africa. and according to the 2021, plastic waste makers index in the global north that producers and creates this global plus think use crisis. an average american or a united kingdom citizen will produce about a 100 kilograms of plastic waste annually. now, what response ability do they bay to this global wasteland they've created? this is mainly supposed to be enough at the county. oh, because we don't have most of the blessed, it's that we supposed to have in south africa to make products. some africans have come up with a plan. then i'm with ira works with can find these collections and not for profit company in the education space. they turn plastic into briggs

and they saw this plastic from where ever we can get it and times even. but having with locals in exchange for stationery and such items, plastic that would otherwise be filling the air, polluting the water systems and causing diseases. when people been plastic in the community because they've got no way to damp it, it causes in people breathe it, it causes type 2 diabetes. it causes cancer, it also causes aging. so those are the main hazards that one can think of. but besides that, when it goes into our water, it also causes our problems is fire is water. animals are contained like your fish and things like that. and then when they eat the plastic, we end up eating that fish and they did end up affecting us as well. from hill to point of your plastic is cut into smaller bits and is put into a 2 liter bottle. and the must all way between 550 and 600 grams. and before you

know it, viola, you have a school, and soon there will be a bigger one here with a science lab, as well as toilets. and it will all be run on solar power, all in an impoverished community, but also billed by that same community for, for as what is important is plastic is going to affect everyone in the world. so what we're doing here is we're inviting different communities from different areas to come in live what we are doing, give them the same skills that we have got and then they go back in, they do the same in their own areas. so far we've got 5 communities that we've identified that will be training and then helping them also to set up a similar environment like ours africans as solving their own problems and the mass that was caused by the global not. and is these kinds of solutions that must be echoed at the u. n. club, 27th climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who

pollutes must pay the lute for the clean bill can. i will, if at 40 in johannesburg now, to the latest news this week, from the u. s, the closely wants to mid term elections have taken place this week with the makeup of the american congress for the next 2 years of brightness, presidency of stake, the outcome of the heated battle for control of the house and the senate still remains up in the air, although the say the race is tightening in the final stretch, bring a new peak of political instability to the country. the latest that are cracked when in arrows, at least by this party, just 2 seats away from retaining side control. now all the nations eyes are on nevada, as this friday divided states still continues to count votes with a q race in georgia, also still in play as a state of a wait

a december 6th run off. just a reminder, 35 seats in the senate and o 400. 35 in the house are up for grabs an intense race with a major domestic issues such as price inflation, abortion access, and gun laws. very much in focus. even before the polls closed americans notice some flaws in the election system in several states. voting machines went down while, while paper shortages in other states left no means for people to cost their votes . technical glitches at pulling stations have also driven fears of electoral fraud . mary, us present, joe biden, meanwhile, does not seem to be worried about much about the outcome of the actions. here's what he had to say of a fundraiser in chicago. recently. if we lose the house and senate, it's going to be a horrible 2 years. the good news is i will have

a veto pen. now according to a cbs exit poll, will most half of the respondents say that current policies are home in the country on issues that americans find important. inflation of bush and 52 percent gave us the republican party. additional jo biden's personal ratings appears to have plummeted with 54 percent of respondents saying they don't want to see mr. bite and running for president. again. former cia analyst larry johnson told us that solving domestic issues was never the democrats priority in the 1st place. yeah, it's, it's, it's an american, it's an democratic. the reality is that this is a 2 party country of sorts. and that all the democrats strategy has been sent by, quote one, the white house has been to completely dest credit, the republicans to read, to claim that the republicans are involved with insurrection. to claim that

anything that the republic, instead to oppose abiding policy was designed to sub for democracy. it's just, it's, it's really, it, it's an evil evil approach. now, while the american political direction for the next 2 years remains undecided, both parties have already become an age old pu selection, game trading accusations a vote. rigging more on how this blame game has undermined the americans trust the electoral real system, his artes caleb, moping, press done, the u. s. public id for their election system is sinking. now. a poll taken by the new york times and coordination with st. college shows that 71 percent of americans feel like democracy is under threat. now you may feel like you've heard that before . back when trump one in the 2016 presidential election, his democratic rivals widely describe the results as a threat to democracy. you can run the best campaign. you can even become the

nominee. and you can have the election stolen from you after trump was declared victorious, the flood gates were opened. there were all kinds of conspiracy theories, congressional investigations sanctions on russia. there was even an impeachment trial, who was it who was banging the gavel over those who objected as congress moved to certify the results, county is not an order valid, even with the mary. a jain by america or no day when the joint session, no debate, vote is no debate. 16, there's no debate and the matters are. yes, joe biden was vice president back in those days presiding over the senate. now he's been elected president and those election results have also been contested, surprising, not really, but the fraud happened. the election in many ways was stolen, but it begs the question, is it really that easy to steal an election in the united states?

now with all these accusations of dishonesty being thrown around by both sides, it's not really shocking that as a result about 59 percent of the public maybe more did not have faith in the integrity of the u. s. election system in 2020. but at least this idea that russia was somehow the nefarious puppet master was put to rest right. now americans who believed that donald trump was unfairly robbed of reelection, came up with charts and graphs and theories of their own. they even stormed the u. s. capital, a few people died and a lot more of gone to prison. democrats said the 2016 election was no good. republicans say the 2020 election was no good. and who do they blame each other? of course and nothing has really changed. there's now already a steady drumbeat about the possibility of fraud in the mid terms. there's no question and then right widely reported that there was widespread fraud and irregularities across the country. many of us were warning about the fact the

democrats unilaterally fundamentally altered our voting system. inside 90 days, we warn of the state of nevada was just simply not ready to give us a fully fair and secure election. if i was united states senator, on the day of the certification, i would have stood with senator cruz and senator scott and that small handful of senators who had the courage to stand up and say we, let's hold up on the certification of this election. hillary clinton is saying that the presidential election sat for 2 years from now is going to be stolen. right wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election. so with american politicians on both sides telling the public not to trust the election results, is it any more shocking that we're seeing more and more distrust of the election, integrity from the u. s. public divisions among the u. s. power structure are

getting deeper, that crack in the liberty bell is getting bigger and distrust and disgust is also brewing beneath the surface. caleb martin? r t. new york. well, the u. s. has branded russia so cooled non law that economy enabling washington to artificially inflate prices for russian, impose the criminal lacks found platinum measures saying that why it might not directly impact russia. it was certainly cool of mo, paying the global economy. we see a growing understanding to a lesser extent in america, to a greater extent in europe that these sanctions have not been able to destabilize to russian economy, but are bringing a fair amount of turbulence to their economies. primarily, the european one americans are resistant. although they also suffer from inflation due to the chaos in the energy market. this is one of the steps in the continuation

of this really destructive line, which in no way contributes to the stabilisation of global economic markets. the innovation will allow the u. s. arrays, duties on russian impulse to make similar domestically produced items more appealing to local buyers. it was numerous are the restrictions that washington has imposed on russian products in recent years. the u. s. has also been an industrial rival, china, the non market economy when, as course live now to neil based investment, my, the image fair seen they plan to look for joiners here at ubs, eat out the u. s. driver. this rush of so called non market economy, in layman's terms, holds this really mean him. how will it affect global economies? hello, this is just another form of sanction. and it's of punishment from the united states, and it's also a diversion. i mean, we're in a period of time where this is

a globalist qu of 2022. i mean, look at all the nonsense that's happened. it's the covey crisis. it's the credit crisis. it's a new crisis. the climate crisis, every crisis, cost of living crisis. so the cost of living crisis, let's talk about that. what do we have in the, in the united states, in europe, we've got 20 percent, a real rate of inflation at 20 percent. we've got government, they're lying about it in the united states. government is trying to push price caps and russian oil, which is the most ridiculous, bizarre thing i've ever heard of in my life. janet yell under the treasury secretary, it's her brainchild. now if you think about miss yelman's track record, she was the head of the federal reserve. it's caused inflation to be where it is today, with her easy money printing policies and quantitative easing and bail out for billionaires policies. so what are they trying to do? the human joe biden kept barking about the puting price,

high puting price hike is causing inflation. in america, it's all rushes fall. no, if you look at a chart of oil prices from when biden was inserted in office in that november election, the price is from that day to february of crude oil when up to 100 percent. so when they had the, the intervention in ukraine, oil temporarily spike tire and then it came back below that line. if you draw a line of that 200 percent, that it went up. that's before you crane. so you can't blame the price, increases in the supply chain disruptions on anything that had to do with the ukraine conflict. you have to look at what biden's policies are, and you have to look at what the case policies are. so you had a green new deal which declared war on fossil fuels. you had net 0, which declared war on fossil fuels to go into green energy,

which is the latest crisis. and this is what led us to higher energy prices and higher inflation. so they're diverting attention away from that reason to try to come up with another reason to blame somebody else. and this is just another form of sanction to try to assign blame for their mass weight. very, very would i all righty thing and, and made it really oh, clearer for us. now. here's the see, it's understandable but so you think divergent type is? is it more or is it the same sort of tactics now that he's doing to china or the u . s is doing to china as well, sort of putting them both, both public enemy number one. so just try and they try to destroy the economy in russia and china that would it work? hi there. i don't know what which economy he's trying to destroy, look, anything that he's touched is turned into a nightmare. i mean, you know, he's going out and saying that he's the decrease the debt in america. the debt is

an all time record high. we're going to have a debt crisis. i don't know who's going to be sitting there. when it happens. most likely it's going to be biden if he lasts for the entire 4 years. but he doesn't know what he's talking about half the time. and the people who are actually running the show are the ones who are extremely dangerous and nobody knows who it is. but yeah, they're looking to blame china. we're looking to blame russia. it's, it's a diversion. it's a diversionary tactic. ball the, the greatest and most significant economic plunder in his theory takes place in the background. i mean, if you think about it, the stock market in america, the nasdaq stock market down about 30 percent. we've had a recent rally that made it look a little bit better, but it's lipstick on a pig, right? no matter how much lipstick you put on a peg, it'll never be a supermodel. and then, you know, they come out with some cheerleading nonsense. that's not going to help every day. americans with the 20 percent inflation rate and, and the cost of living for housing is at all time highs. they have to look like

they're doing something. so let's try to blame russian. try to blame china. i thought maybe, i mean, i like your an analogy blips ago. they made me chuckle this morning with up. is there a well feel full cause? i mean, if you could focus the next 2 years with biden in charge, ah, so we know that he's living toward for at least 2 years. but how do the economy is gonna pan are always in a, are in the u. k. is in a recession and the whole world in a recession. i mean, how things are the world now. it's not going to get better. it's, it's got to get worse because look, interest rates have gone up a bit. now the interest rates are not at a normal rate, this is what people don't understand. and i wrote a book about the credit crisis. the credit crisis is caused by too much debt, too much credit to much leverage. this is like groundhog day. they repeated this, but it's exponentially worse this time. so if you think about the universe of triple b and junk debt out there,

it's something like 6 trillion dollars in waterfall loans that need to be rolled over within the next couple of years. now interest rates have gone up several 100 percent. so these companies are zombie companies. they can't afford to repay their debt to who's going to finance that at these goober, a low interest rates. the only reason why interest rates were maintained at such a low level is because of the manipulation by the federal reserve. in the united states, the bank of england and the european central bank manipulating interest rates lower . so that's an artificial interest rate that's caused too much risk capital to fly into shady companies in the, in the tech space that are the valuations are in the stratosphere like tesla, $1.00 trillion dollars. no, never makes real profit. if you examine the books, i mean, but that company is one of the more sound companies, but it's grossly overvalued like the rest of the market. and so you've got to have

some rection. if you go to the mortgage market, you even look at the mortgage markets you're, you're seeing massive increases people's mortgages. when they reset the united kingdom are going to go up 40 percent. so in other words, if you have but i have to slow you down there 30, so i'll be honest, the pleasure listening to you. i honestly thank you so much for joining us. he went out of time, sadly, hopefully we can talk again soon. so thank you. again, for your time. all right, thank you. okay, that wraps up this in news. our will be black in just under 30 minutes, with more top stories from around the world on the weekly. i up next is a documentary should check out and there will be back soon.
