a joe biden in imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there is your boomerang ah, at least 6 people are killed while the number of those in june rises to mold and 80 as a powerful blast, rocks are crowded. the central fruit and if the western policies are trying to weaponized the region, that's the warning to asian and pacific countries from russia's foreign minister as the assay and summit wraps up also in the stories are shaped, the weak heroine r t p steel off the 2 years of violence achieve dialogue. officials from p o b and the to grey region agree on a ceasefire, and open the door to humanitarian with

sunday night here at moscow when your top stores for the week, when are you international? but before we get to them straight to which time both are right now, an explosion in the center of the city in turkey has killed at least 6 people. but the number of the wounded has arisen all the way to more than 80 with 2 sets of be in a critical condition. according to the countries vice president. meantime, the turkish president called the blast, an act of terror to the key. they've been attempts in the past to subjugate turkey using terra, but this is never led to anything to be the citizens of turkey. can be sure that the organizes of the attack will be punished. 6 people have died in the attack for at the scene and to later and hospital people have been injured to all of them receiving the necessary medical care. hello, it's a tough to make out exactly what's happening and the upcoming video is i should

warn you still, you may find some of the images disturbing. the video is circulating on social media just like this one, showing the moment of the blast, which happened on the is the cloud street in the crowded tourist area of the city. the number of casualties has been confirmed by the turkish president. and we heard from a russian tourist who was in the area at the time of the blast. we saw on the street next to us, a bang was heard. and a few minutes later there was panic. the lease arrived unblocked the streets. when we got home helicopters, appeared in the sky, helicopter starts to fly and actually in general, everything is very scary. intense wasn't video. we can show you, showing people basically fleeing the area shortly after the blast occurred. now emergency services are very quick to get on the scene and treat the injured a video show multiple police vehicles heading to the area. helicopters also hovering over the vicinity and the street where the glass top has been filled off and evacuated. i spoke with a political analyst the own,

or adam who believes the perpetrators of the attack will quickly be brought to justice. i see area is very well monitored. well, it's actually the biggest shopping, you know, avenues, it avenue in turkey. it's close to car traffic. and it's, it's the busiest spot you could probably find that stuff well, you actual literally have to, you know, rub, shoulders against one other to get through that from the look so that there's a lot of choppers flying some square, which actually right now we're about 600 meters away from where it happens. right now if i was, there has to be more than, you know, at least more than a 100 cameras that, that particular are. i'm surprised if the people responsible for this is not identified with the next few hours. if they haven't already done so present as a box for years that all those that are supported terrorism,

unless they stop every country they one day. so as the i see in summit concluding cambodia, there's this code among top officials on what the traditional final statement should sound like. russia is foreign minister sort of a lot for off. explain what some calling a stand off with 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. whatever off either that washington is nato allies are seeking to weaponized asia to contain russia and china, rather than support such regional organizations. as i see on the statement k was a number of western countries including orcus allies, australia, new zealand. attend to the, asked you in groups meeting to discuss the various forms of cooperation. and i spoke with a former indian foreign secretary conwell, sybil who believes while the ask you, in

a group remain somewhat divided. washington is trying to challenge the concept of multi polarity in the region. the united states doesn't like the i don't want people to take because it knows that the whole idea will directed against the union national phase of its dominance after the collapse of the soviet union. they are now open confrontation between the united states and china. united states had declared shinine is national security study to give you, as well as the national defense benita view as an adult. and they have taken lot of steps as you know, to deny technology. and along with that, they're going to transfer to australia a lot of advance rapidly messiah technology and everything else. so clearly, this is going to militarize this area. and the target is china because united states is what it about china. us expansion is in east asia and the south china sea

is not in a position to really manage the security in this part of the world. and the security architecture which is leading has not really a most and gotten much. sean is divided and cambodia and laos, very close to china and the defer to china once. whereas some other countries are a little more independent in their thinking. indonesia, for example, we're going to share the g 20 meeting from january onward. we are going to face this problem on also because if they fail to get something introduced in these statements and the rest will look at, look at it as a political defeat and be the inability to master enough of all from the non western countries. so the democrats appear to have change control of a senate following this week's midterm elections. as

a key race in nevada is set to be cold for the party with 96 percent of the votes counted. so that's a project here. the blue when in the silver state, while another close contest than ours owner was narrowly decided for the democratic party candidate as well. and with those victories, the upper chamber of congress is expected to remain under democratic control. but its republicans who look set to gain a majority in the house of representatives, meeting things have just gotten tougher for the biden administration to get his policies passed. earlier in the day, my colleague unit o'neill, discuss the latest with ortiz fiorella its 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 adams. 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 makes it 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, votes 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 talks 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 be behind us? get 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 both i mailed her as well. there's no paper in the same player in many other countries. you get the results, the day of and or the day after at least. but democrats of trying to normalize this,

say, 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 that 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 congress, both in the santa and the house of representatives where little policy work actually gets done. i was talking to a short time ago with legal and media analysts, lionel, who believes the biden administration simply enjoys its impunity, and still blames trump and russia for all of its faults. the most important

aspect of every democracy or republican world is a be able to say, i don't trust these elections. we're, we've done by virtue of this, this fascist stick. a social media, this draconian ideology. we can ask a question because if we do, we are either consumer tauriel or a lunatic, or we're kind of an art kick in our, you know, in credulity. joe biden does whatever he wants to do. this is the most incredible thing he does and it's not just him, he will do whatever he has to do, and the department of justice are the people who are normally look at this in a rather askance. i will short of look the other way. when he want something done, they get it done. it and the policies wait until you hear what you haven't seen anything yet. there is now, believe it or not,

a panel of source between prior president, obama and, and bush, who are you talking about dis, information and how we can stop this information. what does that me? it meet censorship? what do you think it means? i am very, very frightened, not only as of what i think's going to happen, but what has happened since he took office? it's good that he with us for the weekly, after 2 years of violence, the ethiopian government and the militants from the northern t gray region. this week, a peace agreement to cease hostilities. negotiations began at the end of october, off the ethiopian army captured several major towers that were previously held by and surgeons. now, according to a published document, the parties agreed on the withdrawal of troops, including foreign forces, from the conflict zones. in addition, they've taken on a shared responsibility of protecting civilians and ensuring their unhindered

movement. monitoring and verification team formed by the african union will be established to assess the implementation of the commitments made with today they show movies on demand. in terms of action for the sum of the parties agreed on a main point not to pay at the delivery of humanitarian aid. according to the u. n . at least 20000000 people in the country face food insecurity, true to the military conflict, drought and inflation. the, on that 13000000 ethiopians are set to be a need of emergency health care, all 4 and a half 1000000 of had just been displaced from their homes. and the conflict in

ethiopia is nolan t great region has raged since the start of the decade. the violence originally erupted when government troops were deployed to fight the so called a people's liberation front, near the border with a trap. the fighting has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. well, i wonder if the opium based journalist told us how the african union is leading the peace making efforts, despite attempts to hinder progress, waste that actually involved but the conflict because the wave in all. busy a organization that media lead amber that you should make our, our get involved. but in these conflicts, you know, we saw the media campaign is very high. the organization publication. all this piece agreement is reached because. ready a

lead process, a, you know, 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 elite process, a very important in all the other issues lead the way the world's leading recycling organization. plastic bank says it will address the alarming rise of pollution and the ongoing cop 27 climate conference. africa is hard to hit by that. i've been become a gigantic dumping ground for plastic waste or africa correspondent. incredible. tattler brings us the 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, tv removes you name it. it's a plus big world, but africa is faring better than is global counterparts. and according to the u. n . environmental program, the continent produces the least amount of global plastic waste. and most of our ways is also organic. so where does this come from? reliever people talk about, plessy import the decision to south africa. the only looking at the economy business at that it, as for the county environmental best, is not even be discussed at the stage 20 companies as fair 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 than producers and creates

the global plastic 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 be in effect the county because we don't have most of the plastics that we supposed to have in south africa to make products. some africans have come up with a plan. then i'm with ira works with can sign is collections and not for profit company in the education space. they turn plastic into briggs and they saw this plastic from where everybody can get it and times even what's happening with locals in exchange for stationery and such items. plastic that would

otherwise be filling the air, polluting the water systems and causing diseases. when people 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 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 as his well from 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 build by that same community. so 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 when 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 u. n. club 27 climate change conference. and maybe just maybe those who pollute must pay the lute for the clean bill. carmel is at $430.00 in johannesburg. meanwhile, the hugh ends

a climate summit that have cop 27 has been taking place in egypt for over a week. now, a host nations. i've been trying to negotiate an agreement to compensate developing states hit hard by climate change and whether these payments should be made by the major industrial powers who are cited as the main culprit. so pollution. the chief economist of the african export import bank is not convinced any funds will ever be handed over if after a decade they have not renewed, it promises to expect them to do that. i think we have option would tend to comes in the beauty isn't if you move into the green space, the green energy, some of the most important mineral for the green transitions. what it is lead to your mac cobalt iron. discontinue, we have to get to the, we're able to live rich. would we have to achieve

a goal or repeat for century to rely on, on our all in dos to power the economies. there was a major leverage that we could not deploy because we did not have it technology to actually reduce emperor system. lucas is high time that we invest no children to auction, that live rich in no way that will meekness compton and the best bisson to. well, we have all what it takes to do return. what's rightfully ours, that's the call of egyptian archaeologists to a demanding museums throughout europe. hand back priceless artifacts they currently hold. many of them were said to have been acquired illegally during times of colonialism. now an online petition calling for the treasures to be returned as now receive more than a $100000.00 signatures. it was launched by the former egyptian minister of

antiquities and demands the country's prime minister, submits an official request of britain to return battle. the rosetta stone is currently being held in london's british museum and became key to deciphering egyptian hieroglyphics or the bust of queen f, a t t. currently in berlin, the don dera, zodiac ceiling currently in paris, or among a number of egyptian artifacts scattered across the world with activists. well demanding they get returned. locals in egypt say it's only right, the treasures come back home. i got, i'm squeezed. this is not a good thing, this thing is are right in 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 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 half a no, a mcmillan, i see that this is neither fair, not equal. historically, i care logically, 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, the, i not, 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 that will earlier we did speak about this with the director of the asia center for studies and translation, who says that our european countries apply double standards in 3rd world countries . is the kind of special on the international community just to do what's supposed to be done. for example, the last year we already have is told about 5 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 a antiquities, as well as the ankle operation. we've the ministry of on a 1st

a why such countries by law think the low and the are most of the time i using gosh, just to respect the low and to respect the human rights and respect. they don't trust or complicity and heritage and things like that be, are completely double as thunder. if the low come to then it's on applicable, but it's applicable on as not on their i running down the top stories of the day and all the week here on the arty international. you can get any updates you need from the breaking news. we had a bit earlier from istanbul to log onto our website, it's artie dot mm hm. ah ah. well, oh oh oh, oh,

a ah ah, ah ah.

hello, welcome to well the party. 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 exhausted, so what factors need to be in place in order to ended once and for all? well, to discuss that i'm now joined by return trubinstein, professor of conflict resolution and public affairs at george mason university. professor rubinstein. 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 di, military efforts declared that they would never ever talk 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 conflict and who are in conflict resolution. are sensing that the, the, the tide seems to be turned on. you know that it's, 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 i've been very difficult for us to get a hearing. it maybe do the mainstream newspapers, the new york times, the washington post, so forth or not running or not running our up as our letters to the editor. and it's very distinguished group of people and people like jeffrey sachs or colombia, or richard falk at princeton and others are finding themselves. so i have been silenced, but 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 the sides to these indeed artistic and heartbreaking conflict? well, i certainly agree with you about both terrific and heartbreaking. and i think that the, the parties in conflict resolution 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 great in russia. ok. but it seems clear, especially given the history of this conflict and given the issues that are

involved in it, that they can, you know, she can stop there. i think they might well start with the green russia and deal with issues and immediately in the spirit between those 2 countries. but they would have to proceed to the next phase in which europe and the united states were also involved. i think that's again, a very interesting and indeed a crucial point, whether the talks need to start or proceed to involve the united states. because when we consider the openness of the parties, russia is open for negotiations. i mean, must go produce a statement almost on a daily basis that it's open for talks. it is the ukrainian leadership that pass certain legislation banning itself from engaging in the talks. but is any of that relevant without a more ex.
