oh, there's no medical reason why you should be alive, new to find something to believe. john story is a story of how the story of victory and whatever i can do to help him, i would get a job right. as democratic, bob is expected to control of the summit, but the extremely narrow margin of the country that is harvey, divine. it added a link. russia, with all that for the city of hires on, i made with brittany and fax, my local, good, cool, trapped tropic to flood the fact that i'm here to date with delegation to review of cooperation, to see how we can take it forward to create

a long term sustainable basis? i think chase most of all we don't go out there on india, focus on energy stability as the mostly pull approach to global security as moscow food. india afford minutes of the pool with feel of our a lane and ocean and lend. feels like bit how all of in and out of who you are and climbing, calling for address is rising. pollution. western countries come under fire using africa, the dumping ground for millions of plugins. we'll provide a welcome to the weekly on all the international. it's just in the past the hour here in moscow. i'm rhodes, mom, it's great to have you with us. let's take a look at our 1st so this our we begin this hour,

of course with the latest news from the u. s. as the democrats appears of cringe control of the senate with one of their party members projected to when he race in nevada. as 96 percent of the votes have been counted, there have been a cascade of us media projections showing a democrat victory, nevada's key senate race. another close contest in the highly devised state of arizona was just recently narrowly decided for the democratic policies. candidates with these victories, the upper chamber of commerce is expected to remain under democratic control. we heard from political commentator and talk, show host, steve mold words, who told us about what could happen if the republicans, when the majority in the house of representatives a lot depends on what happens in the house. the house is very much within reach of the republicans taking control from the democrats. so anything that would be passed

by the democrats in the, in the senate, of you would assume, and i would hope, would be shut down by the republicans in the house. so it would be a stalemate again for the biden agenda. i mean, there are things the senate could do like judicial nominees in senate business. it will be very good for the democrats, but for bills and laws of again taking the house is key for the republicans in that won't or that will live just about negate going to the games in the senate by the democrats. right here for joe, by a mean law has shown that he remains confident in achieving his goals regardless of the outcome of the elections. here's what he had to say and 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. the statement comes and they draw the unfavorable statistics from

a democrats, according to cbs exit poll, almost half of the responses say the current policies are harming the country on issues. americans find important inflation and abortion. 52 percent gave them votes . the republican party, additional job was personal ratings appeared to province. it was 66 percent responded, saying they don't want to see mr. biden running for president again. now, even before the polls closed, america's noted some flaws in the election system in several states voting machines went down wild paper shortages in other states. they have no means for people to cast their votes. technical glitches at polling stations have also driven fears of electro fraud. as the banner counting finishes up, both parties have begun an age old post election game trading accusations of vote rigging worth more on how this blame game has undermined americans trust in the

electoral system. his artes caleb molten, if we've got scandals about the potential result in the u. s. mid term elections and voter distrust is riding high. now with poll taken by the new york times in coordination with st. college shows that 71 percent of americans feel like democracy is under threats. 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. 60 years low 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 us 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 believe 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 is no question. it's been 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. right back to the weekly russia has completed with the droids truth from the city has on other locations on the right bank of the didn't the for river. this been done to avoid potential unnecessary losses among

russian forces and the danger of ukrainian type that could destroy a critical dam. now let's take a look at this dab, the dive here on the de nipper river cruise, you know what you call to see from the map. is the topography here when the forces worthy for as much loa and now forces have been drawn back to higher ground. the reason for this, if the ukrainians had attacked with them, the water would have not only flooded down river, but down into the lands of the lower part of the region and of course, destroying the town. now take a listen to what the commander of the joint russian forces had to say. vertical for me would a serious abrazzo what income the enemy is firing randomly at the city. for this reason, it was decided to evacuate population from the right side of the river. we provided everything possible to ensure the evacuation the plans of the enemy to agree with

lighting in certain kennedy too dangerous consequences. this is confirmed by the constant shelling at the co op sky hydro electric power station. under these conditions, the most affordable option is to organize defenses along the line of the denice river. when you wrote further track, suffolk flooding might have occurred if the cranial falls, it had succeeded in this. so i lay down the high water would or have also complicated suppliers which were being used to deliver food to the russian army as well as the local residence and eliminating the tao would jeopardize fresh water supplies to the neighboring crimea region. now, to reduce the danger to civilians, russia has been evacuating tens of thousands of residents from the house on rita and his capital. in the recent, in recent weeks, the through withdrawal was supported by russia's defense, mr. sega shows, who, who also ordered the creation of a new line of defenses. now, the commander of the joint,

russian force is also reported on the stable situation in other front line areas, and a successful interception of around 80 to 90 percent of the ukranian rocket. what are sorted out by the russian force now, he said that the ukrainian army also lost around $12000.00 soldiers last month alone, which is 8 times more than the russian losses. earlier this week we spoke who is a former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who says that by relocating troops, russia has deprived ukraine of its pretext of 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 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 20 now 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 is 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 did they take the appropriate actions? right then 3rd here that end is a foreign method called fo, close a cooperation with russia amid what he calls a stressful situation on energy markets,

artes dawn quote that was i the message 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 in christian commitment i would have in keeping that relationship stronger. 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 and all that is that is a oven 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 . we produce the deposit. 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 re russians designs, nuclear power plant, who will allow india to provide clean and safe energy in the future. will discussed in detail the state of the prospects for military technical cooperation, including the joint production of modern types of weapons. william, so looks like what a foreign minister survey laughter 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. but let's take a look. i was been going on at cop 27 summit. the wools leading recycle when i,

they some, i think mark will take part in the ongoing cult, twenties of conference in egypt to address the alarming rise of global pollution. the african continent is the hardest hit having become a gigantic dumpsite for plastic waste. so they're from western countries, all tease correspondent, co buena tut, the brain, the mountains of rubbish to bring us this story. plastic issue, we quit us, it fills our air, land and oceans and landfills like this are full of it from my this current toothbrushes, shoes, clothes, tv removed, 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 ways. and most of our ways is also organic. so where does this come from?

reliever people talk about plastic info to the city to south africa. the only looking at the economy benefit that it is for the country, the environment that is not even be discussed at the stage 20 companies as they're 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 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 one responsibility do they, bay to this global wasteland they've created. this is mainly supposed to benefit the county. oh,

because we don't death. most of the blessed. 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. the sauce, the plastic, from where ever we can get it and times even battling 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 in 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,

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 need to 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 every one 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 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, you and club, $27.00 climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who pollute must pay the lute for the clean bill. can i will. it had to 40 in johannesburg by saying on the continent exam as present has heavily criticized quote, weston double standards, but green energy as repose, emergent germany is dismantling a large wind farm to expand them adjacent. open pit coal mine. now, with europe reinvesting in its own fossil fuel power industry to bring mothballs

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 presence was, came amid a long lasting dispute of the east african crude oil pipeline, and joint project by gander and tons and air. now as we can see, the pipeline looked saw in lisa work its way down at 1500 kilometers in 2000 air path doris alum and out to the port of tango. the idea is said to expose the uh, the crude oil to the rest of the wall. and the project is, would like to utilize the dam, is large oil reserves also and bring a balance to the regions. wow. sometimes they are, the operation was to bring prices, the retail and ab sable,

the level the operating was a lot, was launched by friends. it will join total energy but was criticized by the parliament over alleged violators of environmental and human rights principles of law. hold on the entire community to pressure uganda and tons and air to stop the project that reservation getting revoked. only 2 days before the ongoing 27 conference. the east african legislative assembly is ignoring european pressure. i'm just calling for the product to continue adding that the ease should intervene, left on african issues of the legislative. what they should do is go back to the eel and focus on the issues that affect the people of the european union. hearty africa has heard from me gun and residence of a how they feel about the issue. this is there's never been

a better lawyer 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 been new upholds of this world over the past? or today we gaining independence. i feel these guys are envious of us, that we don't have to ask for nat geo resources. when they come, they really need to sub process. if we never come to an understanding of owning ourselves, then we shall always be running on someone's finger drops and tips 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 lived like that as his, as i've lived like that i do not really understand waive in our placement, is writing someone telling them you are hypocrite. he let him be any book retook

that we heard from misery in john. good geopolitical, alice about the controversial viewpoints that wes, some powers have been raising about new canvas pipeline construction. they've truth in the fact that the width i'm showing from for the hyper, pretty interesting that you can feel when lovely got a feel of the lowest common footprint is being dictated to what time they can you but hyper crossing might not take away but this project going to work through region that i would speak inhabited by people, people must be compensated for the loss of land rather by plenty of it was from the out. but you can the 10 to 14 comes on. yeah. so the conference around with environmental in bucks for the conference with about the human rights abuses. but i'm really been witnessing the baby must not be much to be disregarded. simply

because the, with some power, high buckley, they utterly get to meet with the missing the conference before we are an independent country. that should be able to make independent the vision and of our development. we know what is best for us? well, this is our ticket dot com for more international news. i'm around the world union . o'neill will be here the top of the hour over me today. great to have you with us the ah, with

i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to place trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with

a robot must protect its own existence with oh mm with. mm. hello, welcome to well, the part most of us would agree that a bad piece is better than a good war, although it may be just as heartless if not more to the preservation of life and the nature of human condition. but once a war begins and political moralizing exhaust itself, what factors need to be in place in order to ended once and for all?

well, to discuss that i'm now joined by richard trubinstein, professor of conflict resolution and public affairs at george mason university. professor rubenstein, it's great to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. thank you. i'm glad to be here. now, you wrote in one of your recent articles that the best time to undertake piece talks is one to parties. the warring parties having stepped out by a military efforts declared that they would never advert to the enemy. do you think we have reached that point in ukraine? i think that we're approaching it. we may not have reached quite yet, but i think we're getting very close to it so that in fact i'm a number of us who are studying the, the conflict and who are in conflict resolution. are sensing that the, the, the time seems to be turning on. you know, that it's been very, very difficult for, for people like me. and many of my colleagues who think that there should be

negotiations and soon it's been very difficult for us to get a hearing. and it, they believe the mainstream newspapers, the new york times, the washington post and so forth, or not running or not running our up as are letters to the editor. and he was very distinguished group of people and people like jeffrey sachs or columbia, or richard falk at princeton and others are finding themselves. i have been silenced. but the, i think this is changing, and i fact, i notice even in the new york times this morning, there's a quote from an expert in the rand corporation who is beginning to talk about the possibility of negotiations and well before we go deeply more deeply into that can actually oppose what i think is the most crucial question in discussing the possibility of these talks. and that is, who are the warring parties? who do you think are the sides to these indeed horrific and hard breaking conflict?

well, i certainly agree with you about both terrific and heartbreaking. and i think that the, the parties in conflict resolution the, the usual rule is that you negotiate with the parties who are most alienated and who are using violence against each other. so that the, the immediate parties would be ukraine in russia. oh, but, but it seems clear, especially given the history of this conflict and given the issues that are involved in it, that they can't, that they've been negotiating, can't stop there. i think they might well start with green and russia and, and deal with issues and immediately in the spirit between those 2 countries. but they would have to proceed to a next phase in which europe and the united.
