it's and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. with us president joe biden's, democratic party is expected to clinch control of this senate following mid term elections. but the extremely narrow margin of the vote gone shows a country that's highly divided in the stories that shaped the weak russia with roles its troops from the city of her soul. and i made fears that you printed and attacked local dump could cause catastrophic flooding from also ahead of time here to the delegation, to review cooperation, to see how we can take it forward to create

a long term sustainable basis. i can say is most of all russia and india focus on energy stability on a multi polar approach to global security of moscow. the indian foreign minister with feel of our a lane and the whole ship length feels like that. one of the ongoing un climate change conference address is rising pollution. western countries come under fire for using africa as a dumping ground for millions of told and a bring the new age help stories for the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly and archie, hello, and welcome. we begin this hour with news from the us. the democrats appear to have

plenty control of the senate following this week, mid term elections with a t, a race in the bava set to be call for the party some 96 percent of votes. big come to their so that's a project aids blue in, in the sober state. while another close contest and highly divided are a zona, was recently normally decided for the democratic party candidate to with those victories. the opera chamber of congress is expected to remain under that control, but republicans accept to gain a majority in the house of representatives. so then where does this leave the u. s . on who gets the main political say in the country for the next 2 years are t spoke to commented or on talk, show host the mouth. burge, on that a lot. depends on what happens in the the house does. 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, 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 and 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 . well, that will just about negate the, the games in the senate by the democrats us president joe biden, meanwhile, is ottoman. his goals will be achieved regardless of the outcome of the election. here's what he said at 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. meanwhile, according to his cbs exit poll, almost half of responded and say that current policies are harming the country on issues that americans find important inflation, abortion over half,

and gave their mid term votes to the republican party. while jo biden's, personal rating appears to have plummeted to with 2 thirds of respondents thing, they don't want to see mr. by running for president again. meanwhile, americans noted many floors in the election process itself. this week in several states voting machines went on, while papers shortages and other districts left no means for people to cast their ballots. technical glitches out pulling stations have also driven fears of electoral frauds. well, as the kind finishes up already, by the way, 5 days later, at both main parties have begun an age or post election game, treating accusations of vote rigging with more and how about so undermined americans trust the in their electoral system? you're sure us for responded kayla. we've got scandal about the potential result in the u. s. mid term elections and voter just frost 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 an order valid, even with the mary, a jain by america or no date when the joint session. no debate vote is no debate. 16, there's no debate and the man,

no, 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 have 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 is really changed. there's now already a steady drumbeat about the possibility of fraud in the mid terms. there's no question and it's been right, widely reported that there was widespread fraud and irregularities across this 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. russia has completed withdrawing its troops from the city of her son on other locations on the right bank of the din. yep. or river the defense ministry phase. it's being done to avoid potential unnecessary losses. among trips amid the danger that ukrainian attacks could destroy a critical local dom situated here on effect the area

a run that the decision was explained by the commander of russia's offensive. but it was lawyer, maybe somebody, somebody anthem 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 plan of the enemy to create flooding of territory is to can lead to dangerous consequences. this is confirmed by the constant shilling of the kind of sky, hydro electric power station. under these conditions, the most appropriate option is to organize defenses along the line of the denise river. well, let's just fleshed out catastrophic flooding was predicted. if you printing forces had succeeded in destroying the dumb, the high water would also have complicated supply routes which were being used to deliver food to the russian army as well as local residents. eliminating the tom would also jeopardize fresh water supplies to near bring cry me and now to reduce the dangerous to civilians. russia has been evacuating at tens of thousands of

local residents from the her son, region and its capital. in recent weeks, while the fence minister survey shows you also ordered the creation of a new line of defense in the earlier well stable situation and other frontline areas was disposed by the m o. d this week to as well as the successful interception of up to at 90 percent of incoming ukrainian rocket attacks. while moscow also said the ukranian army had lost this number, right? 12000 soldiers last month alone, some 8 times more than russian losses. we spoke to former us marine corps intelligence officer, scott ritter, who said stopped by relocating troops. russia has deprived ukraine of its pretext for destroying the dom. 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 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 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 didn't they take the appropriate actions? you know the story to tell you by today, india's foreign minister has called for closer cooperation with russia and made

what he calls a stressful situation on energy markets or correspondence was out the ministry media conference here 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 saves most of all. i think you can see the obvious in christian commitment, i would type 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 kept 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, you know, that is, that is ha, ha, been festival that is a stress on the energy markets. it is odd fundamental obligation to ensure da da indian consumer has the best possible access on the most advantageous terms to international market. on induct respect. ah, quite honestly, we have seen dot a d. india shad relationship has worked to advantage. now we also heard from the russian foreign minister survey 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 colleen, 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. lao, 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. there's something else of significance

to tell you about the u. s. has branded russia so called none market economy enabling washington to artificially inflate prices for imports from the country. the kremlin has lashed out at the measures saying that while it not will direct impact moscow directly, it will certainly cause more pain for 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 stabilize the russian economy, but are bringing a fair amount of turbulence to their economies. primarily the european one americans are resistance. 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. well, the designation will allow the u. s. to raise duties on russian imports, thereby making similar domestically produced items more appealing to local buyers.

washington claims the move is being brought in because of extensive governments involvement in the russian economy. now it follows numerous other restrictions of the u. s. has imposed on russian products in recent years. america earlier branded industrial rival, china, now none market economy to we heard from new york based investment manager and mich firestone, who stays this new move by washington the most the yet another sanction against 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. and 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 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 there are 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. the world's leading recycling organization. plastic bank sees it will address the alarming rise of plastic pollution. now the ongoing cop $27.00 climate conference. africa is hardest, had by that, hadn't become a gigantic dump site for plastic waste center from western countries. are te correspondence coat, apple litter braved the mountains of rubbish to bring us to story. plastic is

ubiquitous. it fills our air, land, and oceans and landfills like this are full of it from my this current tooth brushes, shoes, clothes, t, v remote, you name it in. so plas, 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 blessing, import the decision to south africa. the only looking at the economy business at that it, as for the county, the environmental best is not even be discussed at the stage. 20 companies as sad 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 produces and creates this global plas think use crisis. an average american, or a united kingdom citizen. well, produce about a 100 kilograms of plastic waste annually. now what response ability do they, bay to there's global wasteland they've created. this is mainly supposed to be in effect the county. oh, because we don't death. most of the blessed exec be 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 at 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 bend 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, 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 beat into perfecting as is well from a health 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, 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 got 5 communities that we've identified, that we 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 and the, you and club, $27.00 climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who

pollute must pay the lute for the clean bill carmel. it adds 40 in johannesburg. staying in africa, you've done this president has heavily criticize quote, western double standards about green energy. those reports emerge that germany is this monthly, a large wind farm, to expand on adjacent open pit colma. now with europe reinvesting in its own fossil fuel power industry to bring mosque bod power plants back on line. 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. when the president's words come, made a long lasting dispute over the east african crude oil pipeline of the joint project by uganda and tons and the on

a big one. the pipeline plans to stretch around 1500 kilometers from beliefs a here. and you gander through the interior of tons near to the coast here of target this fi port in tons and the, and the undertaking would help utilize you've done this large oil reserves and also supply other countries via the tons in the coast should all stabilize all prices in the region. well, the project was launched by french oil jain to tal energies. what was criticized by the eager parliament, red alleged violations of environmental and human rights. the block has called on the international community to pressure you down the terms in the it just stopped the operation of the east african legislative assembly. however, a standing up to europe, ian pressure stressing that the project must continue. while adding that the you should intervene less in african issues although. ready others, 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. rti, africa has spoken to uganda and residents about how they feel about the pipelines, political talk of war. this has never been a better loyal list of the western concept of extractive industry like my head of state. but today, screaming the french when that something of national interest is up 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 loopholes of this world over the past? or today we gaining independence. i feel this guys envious of us, that we don't have glassdoor for mentor 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 tapes,

you know. so we need to make that choice of moving forward. we don't have to wait for someone to tell us what to do or not to do. yeah, we have to leave like that as his as of leave like that. i do not really understand . wave in our placement is writing someone telling them you are a hypocrite. he let him be any pl. quick 2. we also got the thoughts of misery in the jagger a kenyan geopolitical analyst on the stance that western powers have been taking on that pipeline construction. they've truth in the fact that the wisdom of shooting from for the hyper piracy in the interesting that you can feel when lovely got a feel of the lowest carbon footprint is being dictated to what time they can you. but hyper crossing might not checked away, but this project going to move through region that i would speak inhabited by people, people must be compensated for the loss of land rather by plenty of moves from the album in uganda. $10.00 to $14.00 comes on. yeah. so they confront around the environmental impact,

the conference with about the human rights abuses that already been witnessing the baby must not be, must not be disregarded. simply because the, with some power high booklets, they are legitimately 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 our stay with us for a quite extraordinary story. next, john daly, an ex, neo nazi skinner, fled from the u. s. to israel in the ninety's after his own gang attempted to murder him for being changed. our documentary team explores his life since then. an escape from room. ah ah, ah.

ah . who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions to day russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it? a number that's constantly growing up in yo sich of luckily when was the course renewed as you speak on the billing infinity mostly minor, will share them. we're banning all in ports of russian oil and gas, fuji, i suffering the high paid that been happening. i know they plenty of those lower

british, jesse sheds that has been co worker karina were given regarding joe, by imposing these sanctions on russia. jo has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race. this on very dramatic development only really and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk with . i just wanted to go and pay my respects hon. all those who lost their license,

the hands of the 3rd. right. and i wouldn't want to do it with anybody other than john, honestly, you know, horrible atrocities that affected millions and millions in. and this is the ideology that i, that i, you know, live 5 or 4 years a model is journeyman. since it's harder than mine, big jewish had something to turn to. he didn't. he left something that was like a family type relationship and move back into the real world. living in israel, he finally feels at home and he feels like he's with his people and a leading with his i know that that's something i'd like to feel in life. you know, i'd like to feel that i do belong to something and i have something to look forward to and i have something to believe. i'm not sure what it's going to be basically turned myself to be a real american patriot. but i don't like the direction that my country is going a whole lot when i,

where my young with number, cuz it was the room with her full then kind of overwhelmed with emotion. started shaking. and as i went into laboratory a few moments ago, it gets sick. wow. going to the camp. it makes it. it's like putting in a face with a name. ah, it's no longer, you know, old reels that you see on t v. programs and documentaries. you know, written by some guy who wasn't there, not a page from history book, it's real, a long history where you can fix the world to the best of your bill.
