ah, a, with the stories that shaped the weak russia withdrawal from the city of harold on the any attack local dime with flooding. the fact that i'm here today with our 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 the ability ada mopey polo pro good, good b as a moscow india for minutes. the pool plus with our

a lane and ocean less feels like that. one of the you and climate conference address is rising pollution. western countries come under fire for using africa, dumping ground to millions of the plastic and group holding a his veto power intelligence issue the u. s. midterm election as a voters decide who control congress the next 2 years. ah, hello, i welcome to the weekly on our teens. i'm actually just post. i am here in moscow. i'm a mom. may i speak to have you with us? let's take a look at our 1st story this. our ok,

russia has completed with drawing is suits from the city of has on and other locations on the right bank of the deny. if we take a look at the map, this is the most important area. the diagram here on the dipper river, the russian forces were here on the east flight of new now to higher ground. this higher ground now will protect the damn from ukraine force is attacking as the water is. if that was attacked, the water was slowed down. and to lower ground flood these areas for sufficient position and for the safety of ukrainians are the forces of now move back here. now let's take a listen to the commander of the joint. russian forces brickle for what it is somebody else, nobody of them. the enemy is firing 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

a characteristic can lead to dangerous consequences. this is confirmed by the constant shelling of the co op sky hydro electric power station. under these conditions, the most appropriate option is to organize defenses along the line of the denise river. i said catastrophic flooding might have occurred if the grade levels it has succeeded in destroying the dam. the high water would have complicated supply routes which were being used to deliver food, the russian army, as well as the local residents. now, this would happen eliminating the damage jeopardize feshona's supplies. the neighboring crimea region, also now to reduce the danger to civilians. russia has been evacuating tens of thousands, a residence from the hairs on region, and it's capital in recent weeks. ok. now the troop withdrawal was supported by russia's defense minister, sergey sugar, who also ordered the creation of a new line of defensive. now the commander of the joint, russian falls,

also reported on the stable situation in other frontline areas. and the successful interception of around 80 to 90 percent of the incoming ukrainian rock is by russian forces. now he also said that the creamy army lost around $12000.00 soldiers last month alone, which is about 8 times more than the russian losses. the and we spoke earlier this week to form a us marine corps. in terms of is a scott ritter. he said that by relocating these troops, russia has deprived ukraine of his pretext for destroying the dam. 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 in 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 damn. and the russians have 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 and has breached. now the russian leadership has to explain why they didn't evacuate, why they didn't get 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? any foreign minister has cooled, so close a corporation with russia middle. he calls a faithful situation on energy market. all k is don't cool though,

was at the ministers media conference in most there. 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, a co operation, to see how we can take it forward to korea, to long term sustainable bases. i think says most of all, i think you can see the obvious in christian commitment. i would hot 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 to the, you know, the or the coil supply issue, you know, that is, that is a of 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 to 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 the 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 who we spoke to, don mclean, gala manila based jerry from his will analyst and author. and he says, new daddy's cooperation with moscow has had

a positive impact on his economy as an access to russian oil has helped this indian economy. the visits objectives are multi pronged and multi dimensional and compasses politics, economics and defense in the context of bilateral ties, regional affairs, and the overarching security architecture of the international system. now, india and russia continuously engage in a series of multilateral institutions. the g 20 bricks, s e o r i c has discussion will also incorporate the enhancement of india, russia partnership in the context of the frameworks, the effect of the 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 as a practical partnership between india and russia. there are 2 things that we have to understand in terms of any one is that india is a rising race, power,

and energy. you will continue with the rise of any state. hence, it is necessary for india to make sure that it's been cain unhampered supply of oil, oil at a price that is a force 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 responsibility is the government's primary responsibility is to its people and to the overarching national interests and security interests. a one of the most challenging a geopolitical neighborhoods that india is faced with. it will have to balance this of course, and we could definitely see more proactive cooperation with india and russia, particularly the energy sphere as well. you can, as president, has heavily criticized quote, western double time is about green energy is reposed. to merge that,

germany is this mindfully a large wind farm to find an adjacent open pit coal mine. now with europe reinvesting in its own fossil fuel power industry to bring more bold power plants back online. in a truly perverse twist, we are told new western investment in african fossil fuels as possible, but only for oil and gas resources that will be piped and shipped to europe. this is the purest hypocrisy. now the president was, came, i made a long last in dispute over the east african crude oil pipeline. this was a joint project between uganda and turns in, in our pipeline as we can see. so as from bliss, he works his way through uganda, and that has an impostor salaam to the port of hunger. and the idea is to bring stability in the region and to balance all prices into the region.

now also these are supply companies supply countries with hands and near r c port. this is a plan i to like i said to stable the levels now the operation was lost. my french oil joint total and, and, and energies. but was criticized by the parliament of the alleged violation of environmental and human rights principle. now the block called on the international community to pressure you got the and tons and is to stop the project. but the resolution getting revoked only 2 days before the ongoing 27 conference. now the east african legislative assembly is ignoring european prussia. i was calling for the project to continue adding that the e u should intervene less in african issues. do you, parliament is of the legislative. what they should do is go back to the you and

focus on the issues that affect the people of the european union. also, africa has heard from uganda and residents about how they feel about the issue. this has never been a better loyal list of the western concept of extractive industry like my head of state. but to be screaming, the french when that something of national interest is at speak. i've always had 3 questions. the issue of sovereignty. who owns it, our democracy or bears? who owns africa? is it still the new opponents of this world of the past? ought to be we gaining independence. i feel these guys envious of us, that we don't have glass of natural resources when they come. they really need to set prisoners. 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 i believe, 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 heard from a deer put her eyelids about the controversial viewpoint, so where some piles have been raising, but you damn those pipeline construction. they've truth in the fact that the width, i'm showing some sort of hyper, pretty interesting that you can feel when lovely got a feel of the lowest carbon footprint it being dictated to what time they can you but hyper coffee might not take away, but the product going to move through region that i would speak inhabited by people, people must be compensated for the loss of land read. if i bring one of the most from uganda, 10 to 14, from one. yes. so the conference leaves around the environmental impact from the

conference with above the human rights abuses that already been witness and the baby must not be much to be disregarded. simply because the with some power, hypo claim they added a little bit, we dismissing the conference because we are an independent country that should be able to make independent the vision of our development. we know what is best for us . okay. that stick to the cons. now let's take a look at what's been going on on the 27th, some a little world leading recycling organization fast. the bank will take part in the ongoing comp $27.00 conference in egypt to once again raise the alarming rates of global pollution. the african content is the hardest hit having become a gigantic dumpsite for plastic waste. cent from western country that oxy, close the front cover of the tap, my brain, the mountains of rubbish to bring us the story. plastic is ubiquitous. it fills our air, land, and oceans and landfills like this, ah,

full of it from my this current tooth brushes, shoes, clothes, t, v remote, you name it, if the plastic 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 ways, and most of our ways is also organic. so where does this come from? reliever people talk about less in fort the decision to south africa. the only looking at the economy business at that it as for the counseling environment, that is not even be discussed at the stage. 20 companies as they are to be responsible for more than half of the global single use plastic waste. and none of them are in africa. and according to the 2021,

plastic waste makers index in the global not that produces and creates this global plastic use crisis. an average american or a united kingdom citizen will produce about a 100 kilograms of plastic waste annually. now, what responsibility do they, bay, to this global wasteland they've created? this is mainly supposed to benefit the county her because we don't death. most of the bless exactly 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 sign is collections and not for profit company in the education space. they turn plastic into briggs and the softness, plastic, from where ever we can get it and times even buttoning with locals in exchange for

stationary 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 and people breathe it, it causes type 2 diabetes. it causes cancer and it also causes aging. so those are the main hazards that one can think of. but besides that, it, when it goes into our water, it also causes our problems is fire is water, animals our content 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 as his 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 the 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 every one in the world. so what we're doing here is we're inviting different communities from different areas to come in, lynn, 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 put 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 mess that was caused by the global not. and is these kinds of solutions that must be echoed at the u. n. club 27 climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who pollute must pay the lute for the clean bill carmel.

it had to 40 in johannesburg. but now it's the latest news from this week. from the u. s. the closely watched mid term elections have taken place this li, the makeup of the american congress for the next 2 years of by the presidency at stake. the outcome of the heated battle for control, the house and senate still remains up in the air. although the race is tightening in the final stretch brain, you peak of political instability to the country. now the latest democrat, when in arizona leaves biden's party, just 2 seats away from retaining senate control. now all the nations eyes are on nevada. as this friday divided states still continues to count votes with a she race in georgia. also still in play as a state always as december 6, one of just a reminder, 35 seats in the senate. and for in 35 the house or up for grabs in a tense race,

with major domestic issues such as the price inflation of bullshit. access and gulls very much in focus. or even before both close americans though to that, some flaws in the election system in several states voting machines went down while people to use in other states left no means for people to cough their votes. so little glimpses are polling stations have also driven fears of electoral fraud. while us present, joe biden, meanwhile, does not seem to be worried much about the outcome of the actions. here's what he had to say and a fund raiser in chicago recently according

to a cbs exit poll. as half of the responders say that current policies a home in the country on the issues americans find important inflation and abortions 52 percent gave. that was to the republican party at disney, jo, by the 1st ratings of faith of plummeted with 66 percent of respondents certainly don't want to see mr. biden running for president again for c. i a analysts. larry doesn't 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 law. 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 discredit 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 begun age old post election game trading accusations vote rigging. with more on how this blame game has undermined americans trust in the electoral system is all t caleb open. we've got scandals about the potential result in the u. s. mid term elections and voter distrust is riding high. 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 investigation 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 in order to valid even with the mary, a giant by america or no day when the joint session, no debate vote is no debate, 60 years, no debate and the marriage or 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 had a steady drumbeat about the possibility of fraud in the mid terms. there's no question and it's been right why they 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 artsy new york. why that was sick? who was the us now? the u. s. has branded russia as a so called norton market economy, and they were in washington to all to officially and faith prices for russian input . the crammed in as laughs outside of the by just saying that it was, it might not directly impact russia. it would certainly cools more pain, the global economy. we see a growing understanding to lesser extent, in america, to greater extent in europe. that these sanctions have not been able to destabilize the 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 stabilization of global economic markets. the designation will allow the u. s. the res you'd see is on russian invalids to make similar them ethically produce, i them more appealing to local buyers. it follows numerous other systems that washington has imposed on russian products. in recent years, the u. s. was also brought it into phil rival, china as and on market economy. we heard from in new york based investment manager mitch 15, who says the new move by washington amounts to get another sanction against monica . this is just another form of sanction. and it's of punishment from the united states, and it's also a diversion in the united states. in europe. we've got 20 percent,

a real rate of inflation at 20 percent. we've got governments that are lying about it in the united states. government is trying to push price caps on russian oil, which is the most ridiculous, bizarre thing i've ever heard of in my life. so you can't blame the price, increases in the supply chain disruptions on anything that had to do with ukraine conflict. you have to look at what biden's policies are, and you have to look at what the you 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. while the roads up this

news hour take out the solid would go on. well, the pop up next will be back in a few minutes on the phone with with mm.
