this very dramatic development only really i'm getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very particular time time to sit down and talk with breaking youth out on the internet. at least 4 people are killed as a powerful blocks of crowded central street, a stamp with you as president joe biden is democratic party should pledge control of the senate office securing more seat this weekend in the mid term elections with western policies are trying to weaponized the region that still wanting to asian and pacific countries from the russian foreign minister at the summit rep. so those who are the stories are shaped the week, their own

r t a p steel off to 2 years of violence. the chief through dialogue. officials from ethiopia and the take away region agree on a ceasefire, and open the door to monetary with at that moment. office 6 pm on sunday here at moscow and a very warm welcome to you. of course, this is our t international. we do a start this out with breaking news coming straight to us now from turkey. an explosion in the central office down bowl has left at least 4 people that are there right now. it's, it's, it's tough to make out exactly what's happening. i'll just show you in advance of the videos we're going to show you, you may find some of the images to stopping. ah, video circulating on social media showed the moment of the blast, which happened on one of the main tourist streets in the popular text him area of the city. according to local authorities. 38 people were also injured and we heard

from a russian tourist who was in the area at the moment of the block on the street next to us a bang was heard. and a few minutes later there was panic. the lease arrived and blocked the streets. when we got home helicopters appeared in the sky, helicopter starts to fly and actually in general, everything is very scary, intense. we can bring up some more videos for you right now. people are, you can see running away from the area shortly after the block. now as we understand the emergency services have already be in the scene for some time. these videos are multiple police vehicles, even a helicopter flying overhead as well. of a street where the bloss happened has been sealed off and evacuated. now here we're not into national. we've got all of our crews across this breaking news story in that part of the world. we'll give you the updates the very moment we get

for now, the democrats appear to have change control of the senate following this week's midterm elections. as a key race in nevada is set to be called for the party with mighty 6 percent of votes counted. so that's a projected blue when and the silver state. another close contest is an arrow zone that was narrowly decided for the democratic party candidate as well. and with those victories, that means the upper chamber of congress is expected to remain under democratic control. but it's republican to look set to gain a majority in the house of representatives, meaning things have gotten tough for the biden administration to get his policies passed earlier. my colleague, you know, neil got details with artes fiorella is about so this is a very narrow victory. for democrats, with 5249 in the senate, 50 for democrats. now this is because catherine cortez moscow, bested former attorney general adam like salt, giving them that lead. this is after the arizona victory and the victory of course, of john federal min and pennsylvania. this now may say it's less important for the

georgia race which will take place in december to determine any sizeable difference . because b, p harris can actually cut that tie. and in congress though, we have still a, the races going on. boats being counted in california, arizona, in oregon, and of course neither party has reached the 218 majority that is needed. and many are questioning why this red wave that was supposed to happen according to republicans did not happen. and according to many, it has to do with inflation, it has to do with the fact that perhaps voters voted against the trump in discourse . and also abortion issues were very high. young voters said come out to vote, jen z did. and of course, the other accusation is election fraud as well, even before the election freleigh defense of joe biden. i recall kim mike, he said that whatever happens essentially that he's got the answer in his office to

push through certain policies that that v were the veto. democrats have for a long time, been accusing half of the country being deplorable. republicans all being involved in january 6 have been really going against a vast majority of the country and even accused rush of having hackers to undermine the election. yet, when democrats, when, then that means everything is good. and joe biden talked about exercising his use of vito power. 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 pan. this is of course, with the fact that joe biden's approval rating is in the tank. i mean, according to a c, b as pull 46 percent of people think that joe biden's policies have actually hurt the economy. 52 percent trust republicans better on issues like abortion and inflation and 79 percent of the country. think that the country is out of control,

which says a lot about why people don't have trust in the system. and of course, for some, this has been enough to question the integrity of the u. s. selections. let me get this straight. 72 percent of voters say america's on the wrong track. only 42 percent say they approve of the job. joe biden is doing 58 percent say they feel more worried that america's best years mail ready behind us. yet? no. redway, congratulations to president biden. his rate on trump's home. the rest of pro lifers his illegal intimidation campaign against the supreme court. his censorship of opponents and threats to jail and harassment of any one who questioned his election helped steve off red wave. so we're talking about long lines. we're talking about machines that didn't work. the fact that we are still counting ballots here and of most i mailed her as well. there's no paper in saint clair. there is really no chain of custody in the united states election. so of course,

this is why people are accusing this and many other countries you get the results, the day of and or the day after, at least. but democrats of trying to normalize this saying, well, this is because we have so many vote by mail ballots. so obviously, the vast majority of people are not trusting in the system because they have, they have questions as to why this is happening now. the democratic party says this is a victory for the american people as a whole. however, they have been largely accusatory of anybody that thinks differently. anybody that has been questioning this, there's been intimidation tactics. there's been all sorts of things in the electoral process in the united states. so a lot of people are saying this is chaotic. this is embarrassing, and it seems that democrats promote democracy abroad while still having these sorts of issues at home. and what this does is it's going to lead to a tug of war in a congress, both in the senate and the house of representatives were little policy work actually gets done as the i psion summit concludes in cambodia. there is

discord among top officials on what the traditional final statement should sound like. russia's a foreign minister soccer law for off explained what the standoff is all about. cuba. no collective decision on a joint statement has been made because the united states and it's western allies insisted on absolutely unacceptable language regarding the situation in ukraine. cover off either that washington and its nato allies are seeking to weapon eyes asia to contain russia and china rather than support. such regional organizations, such as i see on the statement came as a number of a western countries including orcus, allies, australia, and new zealand, attended the as you in groups meeting to discuss various forms of corporation. and we spoke with a global affairs analyst at thornton mclean. gill, he believes international competition. if a power is coming at the expense of regional security,

what we're looking into now is that there is a clash of not only material power, but also ideology and of course perceptions towards the order of asia as a whole. so what we can see here is that because of this particular clash, which also aligns with a distribution of power to shift china, india, japan, russia, the united states all engaging in this particular critical hotspot, geographic hotspot, while a shooting war may not be in the works anytime soon, we have to understand that the problems that are being driven by these arrangements, these power competitions come at the expense of the security architecture of asia. and, you know, going back to the main core of these meetings will look into as young since 1960 s, yet has endeavored to maintain its centrality within the continent to ensure inclusive dialogue between minimal major powers. but with what is happening now,

we're looking to the erosion of that audience in charlie p. discord within the block. and at the same time, the proliferation of exclusive arrangements for that matter and the delusion of existing multi lateral frameworks. so this becomes very problematic in terms of the security architecture of the region. after 2 years of violence, the ethiopian government and militants from the northern take gray regions. this week signed a peace agreement to end hostilities. negotiations began at the end of october, of the ethiopian army captured several major towns that were previously held by the surgeons. now, according to a published document, the parties agreed on the withdrawal of troops including foreign fighters from the conflict zones. in addition, they've taken on a shared responsibility of protecting civilians and ensuring their unhindered movement. a monitoring and verification team formed by the african union will be

established to assess the implementation of the commitments made with what we are unable to achieve. today. on the implementation of which will start immediately on demand and protection. hold on for one moment. the parties agree on a main point not to impede the delivery of humanitarian aid. according to the un, at least 20000000 people in the country face food insecurity due to the military conflict, drought and inflation. and beyond that, 13000000 ethiopians are set to be a native emergency health care of 4 and a half 1000000 have been displaced from their homes. the conflict in ethiopia,

the northern take, our region has arranged since the start of the decade. the violence originally erupt when a government troops were deployed to fight the so name people's liberation front. near the board with a trail fighting has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. now in the opium base journalist told us how the african union is leading the peace making efforts, despite attempts to hinder its progress waste that actually involved but the conflict because the wave in all. busy a organization that media lead amber that you should make are, are good. but in these conflicts, but you know, we saw the media campaign is very high. the organization, you know, publication all these agreement is reached because. ready a lead process, a really, really great saw for the other african conflict. it's important life because

after this agreement, many, many so many african chris and your so the process a very important avoiding all the other issues lead the way it's good to have your company for this program return. what's rightfully ours, and that's the call of a gyptian, archaeologists who are demanding museums throughout europe, hand back price, this artifacts they currently hold. many of them was said to have been acquired illegally during colonial times. now an online petition calling for the treasures to be returned, does not receive more than a $100000.00 signatures. it was lost by the former egyptian minister of antiquities and demands the country's prime minister, submits an official request of britain to return. that'll be. rosetta stone is

currently held in london's at british museum and became keys are deciphering egyptian hieroglyphics of the bust of queen f, a t t. currently in berlin. now they've been deborah zodiacs. ceiling currently empowers are all among a number of rejection audit. scattered around the world, which activists have been demanding the return of an locals in egypt say, it's only right, the treasures come back home. i am squeezed. this is not a good thing. this thing is our right and foreign country stole this from us so long time ago. and now when we claim our right to get our into rudy's back, they refuse, are they still a lot of our antiquities and now they're refusing to return the antiquities, of course. well, that's a very bad thing, site and a chef. a know a mission that i see that this is neither fair, not equal historic land archaeologically, that egyptian antiquities remain in countries that stole them, or countries that took them by occupying a land where the french, british, or american. because these relics are one of the important things for our country, and they must return to us because this is our right via an op. i absolutely refuse

. this is not there, right? and these are our traces that we can preserve by ourselves. i think that some races and some people's are arrogant as they actually say that we are a 3rd world country. it is certainly arrogance. earlier we spoke about this with a director of the asia said if a studies and translations, he says that european countries applied double standards in 3rd world countries is the kind of special on the international community just to do what supposed to be done. for example, the last year we already, it was toward about 5 or more than $5000.00 pieces from europe, especially europe. and it was stolen at because it was some sort of collaboration between the ministry of tourism, ministry of inter antiquities as well as ankle operation with the ministry upon a 1st a why such country is by law. think the low and the are most of the time using us just to respect the low and to respect the human rights and respect. they don't trust a multiplicity and heavy teach and things like that. they are completely douglas

vendor. if the low come to them, it's on applicable, but it's applicable on us. not on there. the world's leading recycling organization, plastic bank says it will address the alarming rise of pollution of the ongoing cup 27, not climate conference. africa is hardest hit by that having basically become a gigantic dumping ground for plastic waste. here's our africa correspondence, catabolic tattler. plastic is ubiquitous. it fills our air, lands, and oceans, and then feels like this are full of it. from my this current tooth brushes, 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 waste. and most of our

ways is also organic. so where does this come from? reliever people talk about plessy input the decision to south africa. the only looking at the economy business at that it, as for the country environment best 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, plus the 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 i suppose to be

less at the county. or because we don't, as most of the places that we supposed to have in south africa to make products. some africans have come up with a plan. then a missouri works with can sign is 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 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 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, it, when it goes into our water, it also causes our problems is fire is water, animals are 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 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 build by that same community for, for us, 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, of course,

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 our africans as solving they'll and problems and the mass that was caused by the global not. and is these kinds of solutions that must be echoed and they, you and cop $27.00 climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who pollute must pay the lute for the clean up bill can. i will, if at to 40 in johannesburg. and the thing on that of the southern continent, france has announced this week the end of the countries decade long anti terrorist operation, bar haine, in africa, sockhill region. and we heard from some locals who actually seemed elated with the news. the soldiers would be leaving you are, i'm pretty happy. they've gone furnace should definitely free our territory and

leave us. this is good news for me. honestly. i didn't on this is a great event. we're lucky to have them gone because we've been praying to see french troops out of our country. we are lucky and happy. and then as someone you believe will feel better with the help of god, we are going to find the force for that. the same powers they used to destroy. they're going to fight a way to build this country on this last wave state prison. my call. i know the end of the backend of pollution, the m o bam, chemical racial embezzling the definitive answer. all phrase harris. we're still saying behind to pull wires advises, in terms of planning and equipment to the local army on the middle of a gun will sometimes big but only on demand. however, in the details announced by the french president, there will still be 3000 troops that remain. he did add that the armed forces will

change what the leader calls the status form and mission of the french military and africa, over the years. so it's service personnel, for example, implicated in a number of scandals including the killing of $900.00 civilians. and molly, that's according to the un, incidents like this, have reinforced anti french gentlemen to the region and eventually forced the withdrawal of a french troops from malia that was just last august. and while the barking operation had stated goal of combating islam as tara groups in this a hell, we brought up the issue with my, the keyma, a political analyst. no, not the sweat effect. the mustang, our wish is that france leaves africa that barking gets out of our lands. this kind of declaration from them, as i said, is fake. it is demagoguery. it is certainly a plan they are putting in place to better choke african nations. and particularly burkina faso and we call on the authorities to per keena to be more careful. bar

haine has never been useful to this a hell. it has contributed to kill enough berkey knobby enough millions enough nigerians, enough of all this crowd that we have suffered. and we are still dying, and actually there are no terrorists in this. i held france and her side kicks are the terrorist. it is france who kills people. it is france. she provides weapons to people. and we need to have the courage to say that dozens of a canyon troops of arrived in the democratic republic of congo. as part of a regional peacekeeping mission. it aims to combat a recent resurgence of the m $23.00 militant group. i can use pressure to send around 900 soldiers in all to join the efforts of a multinational force. so my school canyons are here because as you know, the road map of the eastern african leaders in nairobi is very clear. they are here so that together with the d. r. c. army, we will track down the negative forces,

mainly the m 23 insurgents, who are jeopardizing the regions security. we have cbs with insecurity. you something that the bricks of the social club on requires a system to the local to move on. therefore we'll be walking also together with a monitor him i just said to us and i listen responsibility within them. and just the last a few weeks, the m 23 rebel group has taken of a huge territories in the north. fighting is that the power outages in the major trade, city of gama. that's home around a 1000000 people now human rights activist and the political comment at a chris smell and go via believe that can use made the right choice to send troops into the b r c. i support k d s department and it was a long over due this ability of convoys an issue that should have been dealt with a long time ago. if an issue that should've sorted out because we cannot be dealing

with the same problems of the 1960 s, the people who are all brothers. so we do not know which particular parts that the katie katie of has been deployed. but we have of what we've been deployed in those are people, much of the people from east africa actually came from the columbus and a new round of anti government protests have taken place on the streets of the old open capital kitchen. now, thousands of people gather to express that discontent with the current pro western government. a security forces were in place and allowed the masses to march down the streets towards the city center. demonstrations demonstrated demanding the resignation of the president and her government have been going on for over a month now. well, bricks is building our jury of africa. the largest natural gas exporter is become the latest country to apply to become

a part of the ever growing block. the algerian foreign ministry is formally submitted a membership request which was warmly received by both beijing and moscow. the 5 country alliance has recently gone that increased interest with origin. tina's and iran's application already and meantime, toki. egypt and saudi arabia have also all stated their desire to be a direct member of this family. hideous interest in this global association is very, very high. and continues to grow. it's not just algeria argentina in iran. in fact, there are more than a dozen such countries we heard from algeria and academic or says or the north african countries things. well, the bricks group helps to balance world affairs, particularly as many leaders around the world these days continue to talk about that of the emerging multi polar world war because of the vision in the, in africa was in the world. besides that, as you just mentioned,

that we have so many potential economy political going to study phone chinese for them that because of the historical point, because i feel like it should be read the sy in our shop or that's come to the days of the day i'm going to give you that we expect a lot more than that. i want to put it the i hit the ball and then it says, the said we want to how to get out of the stuff. and you want you to be to the what or do we want for the 3rd, the 3rd voice. and that is, that is the one that i'm looking for. we aspire to play a role. we did the brakes and the brakes and such is it for the union role that i'm getting is the are not you for more background to india and so much. and that was,

that is that of course we have the position that was all for i shot so so i think i'm. busy some extent, yeah, they want to have it say in the doctors, i don't know only when companies usaid by all right, straight back to our breaking news. now here when off into national, the explosion in the turkish city of stumble, at least 6 people are now known to have been killed and more than 50 wounded. although it's so it's tough to make out exactly what is happening. i should warn you would have and you may find some of the following images disturbing. have a look at this the. so it's one of several videos circulating on social media showing the moment of the blas which happened on one of the main tourist street from the very popular tex him area of the city. the number of casualties confirmed now by the turkish president. we heard from a russian tourist who was in the area at the moment of the block. we saw on the

street next to us, a bang was heard. and a few minutes later there was panic. police arrived unblocked the streets when they got home, helicopters appeared in the sky, helicopters, us to fly, and actually in general, everything is very scary, intense. we'll show you some videos of people essentially fleeing the area shortly after the blast occurred. now emergency services have been seen video showing and you can see right here, multiple police vehicles heading to the area of course, including reports of our helicopters hovering in the vicinity right there. you see the street though, where the last happened has been sealed off and is vacuum to evacuated. i should say. let's learn more now. a political analyst, the owner, adam, who is the president of drago, my strategies. joining us here on the international. thanks for coming on the program during the breaking news. you're in a stumble yourself. looks like you're driving in your car. what are you hearing about what's happened like as of late and the feeling in the city please? yes, sir. sorry for the scene. for the background, the car, i just actually left my office which is about 500 meters from where the blasted

place. it was pretty much right in the middle of a almost a tree kilometer avenue called galway. which leads up to talk some square. it's a yeah, so it's one of the while it's actual, the biggest shopping, you know, avenues it avenue in turkey. it's close to our car traffic. and it's, it's the busiest spot. you could probably find that the stumble. this had happened about 4 20 pm. we still don't have any official confirmation as to the, the cold of the glass, whether was a terrorist attack or whether it was something else. but as a few moments ago, ordering to the governor of the bowl, the shall toll are 6 dead and 53 wounded. again, i am from the looks of it. there's lot of choppers flying a ball park some square which actually right now we're about 600 meters away from where.
