for it's 1400000 live may not be so sweet for many as india cut sugar export quotas to ensure its own food security. amid a world crisis, we visit local sugar cane production sites in india to find out more a month out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories. this is our welcome to the program. we begin with the latest on the front lines of the ukraine conflict, where kias continues to shout residential areas move on to region. the village of se above cup was hit. i high mars long range missiles, leaving several residential buildings and a school damaged, no casualties. have yet been reported. air defense systems were also activated in the city of luke gongs. though no details were available on the aftermath of the

attacks. as ukrainian forces target civilian districts and regions that recently succeeded the country. the russian army has repelled the ukrainian attacks and lucon sc region were intense artillery. battles have been under way, reporting from luke on frontline. here's our t moran gosti, of amid the fields and forests of la, god's countryside. some of the fiercest fighting rages, day and night resolves in shills, crisscross the sky. the these she sleeps at this point. right now, i thought a salvo of distancing rockets to see where they lab to judge precisely how to correct auxiliary fire. what will follow? he's the artillery does not rest in multiple

shifts. batteries of launches, and howards. as far as ukrainian positions. they are most often the deciding factor a whether an attack fails or succeeds along the criminal aisle smog about right. blood is still very much tense. russian, the defense is here, are stable. the front line has stabilized but nationalist elements as well as the credit military and predominantly or many sectors far mostly haven't stopped, efforts, haven't seized efforts to find the weak link to pro russian defenses in order to find a weakling, to push their offensive, which is stalled across the login's front lines

with yellows, alicia were assigned the task of shelling, 8 enemies soldiers. the grad rocket launcher, did the job and covered them with artillery fire ukraine. you sparing nothing. neither resources nor lives in an effort to reclaim momentum and break through russian longe. they know they're on the clock. ah, tens of thousands of fresh troops trading across russia. preparing for deployment, the military industrial complex is kicked into overdrive and the russian economy and society. a gradually preparing for a conflict unseen since the 2nd world war. more i'd guessed g of o t from logan screeching. harvest are under threat

and many parts of africa as rising prices make fertilizers inaccessible to farmers raising fears of worsening food shortages. western countries are pushing africa to use more expensive, organic fertilizers, banned in europe on health grounds as anti russian sanctions make it difficult for moscow to supply pesticides to the continent. ortiz at corolla, thought la has more details as prices continue to go up of input costs like fertilizers. the question for african climate negotiators at the co op 27 conference is, can least still advocate for more financial support for the sector. in the face of historically low output noise arising so weekly by the middle of the year or. ready 6 months, i don't like surprises you chemical

crisis, it's going up to a killer mom for years. africa has been characterized by low such allies. a used and low crop yields, fertilizers, soil fertility boosters. and generally, the rule is, the more you use per hectare, the mall crop yields. you will have that as the world average is a 147 kilograms per hectare of fertilizer. africa. more particularly sub saharan africa is below 20 kilogram. the coven. 19 pandemic disrupt the global supply chains and started an upward trend in price jumps and western nations sanctions on russian fertilizer. then fertilizer prices to near record highs and place that already struggles with food availability. african countries are often pressured by rich western nations to adopt fertilizers,

which they say a more organic, partly hypocritical. i have 2 standards in the world for humanity. the reasons for which chemicals are burned in europe and the world have serious scientific facts behind those decisions to bend them. we see with no reason why the same standards should not apply to other countries, including africa. and so to have interest chemicals that are manufactured in europe, finding their way to africa is highly hypocritical of the west. and it's, it's actually criminal if we understand the impact of these dangerous chemicals on human health and environment. but according to local farmers, the industry is already buckling and the price pressure with

you do need both the larger you like to explain. it's like your water, you know, you need to but you need to to a lawyer. so you can go up and say ok because of the price for the longer i'm going to show you the complete lose your car. you pick up inputs, most of the fertilizers they use and let me is that true impact of the west, the nation, the sanctions on russia is essentially what can here to african vomit promise have generally used our lower fertilizer in their farming. our point i made that they use about 19 pages per hectare, but if you are to look into south africa, it's 90 cages are packed, are in zambia, 50 cages, data reduction in that fertilizer consumption from these level would lead to lower and lower. yep. of course, made stack is less apply for food,

but as to how much of that would be ob, that's something that it's not quite clear. but the point is, if we want to improve global for production, we have to ensure that there's a free flow of at eliza and at prices that are fairly affordable by farmers going green often tends to come at a higher cost for african countries. but there has not stopped western nations from imposing the green agenda on the continent, but they have localized manufacturing and production of fertilizers in resource rich africa would soon not insure food security than any green venture woods. carol is, has a lot of tea back i suspect has been arrested after a blast that ship turkey has capital in which 6 people were killed and more than 80 injured. that's according to the latest information from the turkish interior minister. this unverified video showing the moment of the explosion has been widely shared online. and i should warn you in advance you may find some of the following

images disturbing. the videos circulating on social media show. the moment of the blast, which happened on is brick wall street, a crowded tourist area, and the city that you're a president called the explosion. active terror or sharing the organizers of the attack will be brought to justice, emergency services work quick to get on site to treat the injured with video showing multiple police vehicles heading to the area. this side of the attack has been sealed off with locals evacuated. no group has claimed responsibility for the blast. those of us with the sweet shoes could have a bitter pill to swallow. as a global sugar prices approach record highs with top producers like india cutting their exports to protect their own food security are to run john sharma visited sugarcane production sites in india to speak to local producers. your in india

sugar came belt in western ot that reddish the came cutting, crushing, and sugar making season has just started. but things have changed this season. india, the world's biggest producer and 2nd largest exposure of sugar, has extended restrictions on exports for another year. back in june, india had imposed gods for the very 1st time. in 6 years. in a recent notification, the indian government announced that sugar mills could export 6000000 tons next year. this compared to an all time high of, or 11000000 tons last year in the us main supplier to many asian african and middle eastern countries. so for the global market, this decision has left a sour taste. traditionally, i think india will be selling to the oil market under brazil comes in and if there is not supplying the sugar which the lawyer leads that i think that is a very lovely market. so the global, selfless and deficit,

they not opinion is about 3 and a half 1000000 done. but on trade flow point of view, if india is not better than the market is deficit. and if it's india is there, i think goggins his own food prices are rising globally, partially due to anti russian sanctions put in place by the west that have affected input costs, logistics, and exports constraints. another dog producer, brazil has got it 6 boats as well, creating a large, worried in global sugar supplies. but india, like those is looking to insure its domestic market has what it needs. the 3 to up indian population is expected to consume fun. 27000000 tons of sugar this season. the government's ease of wants to prioritize domestic availability, 1st and foremost for it's 1400000000 mouth. the move has been welcomed by many like this sweet shop owner in was offer nagger who is already struggling with

rising inflation. menez, the price of sugar has gone up immensely instead, since i 1st started my sweet business, we hope the new policy will bring us some relief from the cap and exports has been put on all breeds of sugar roll white under find. but the move aims for more than just food security. another focus they all of the sugar policy is the production of ethanol in the country to reduce dependence on fuel imports and to woof to woods green energy. the plan is to mix but short with ethanol made from a loss is a byproduct of sugar production. and india had wanted stock it for 20 percent ethanol blending by 5 years to 2025. india is about to produce about $40000000.00 tons of sugar in which for 4 and a half $1000000.00 will going consumption no flaw at the non. it's a win win situation for the industrial, for the government and for the expo does as well. so we expect that india will

explode. 6000000 done by the end of march is a great due to the pharmacy one because at 18 point coding 2 percent, every minute will be able to sell it still. so it should be able to pay back the farm was as well. while the move by india would be suite for the country. it will leave the world thirsty for supplies, at least for some time. runjun sharma, r t, missouri for another helping ukraine is in u. s. interests. that's the assessment of former u. s. secretary of state mike palm peo, on continuing 80 key at the politician claims the policy could even help ordinary americans. conservatives need to make the case. helping ukraine is in our interest, it will strengthen our national security deter foe and lower cost. for americans. it seems my com payer's position over assistance to key, has had a radical turn around as just 2 years ago in a national public radio interview,

he skated over us interest in ukraine with a journalist conducting the interview, saying the politicians seemed serious over the topic. being discussed, he was not happy to have been questioned about ukraine. he asked, do you think americans care about ukraine? he used the f word in that sentence and many others. he asked if i could find ukraine on a mount. i said yes. i pointed to ukraine, he put the map away, he said, people will hear about those. and then he turned and said he had things to do and i thanked him again for his time and left. we spoke to radio host, kerry harrison who was supporting conflict, usually bring significant financial benefit for the assisting party. pompei o is not a guy who was born as a truth teller, he's a december more than politician. we have to remember he was the director of the c i

a and if you're the former head of the caea, you also want to run for president as palm paled likely. will. this is perfect. you get to have command and control once again. and you don't want to be left in the back seat as the former director of the cia there is so much profit being made by supporting ukraine. $18000000000.00 so far. how much of it is accounted for? we don't know. are we going to ask? probably not, maybe in 10 years we will. it is a cash cow for anyone who makes bullets vests hats, eyeglasses, gloves, hats, winter socks. it doesn't really matter. is that going to be turned off? no, this is a guy who has unbelievable political ambitions. he wants to revert the republican party from the trump party, back into the old fashioned republican party, which means all war all the time. oddly, we see the democratic party being the all war all the time. that is never pin their flavor. it is now recently,

but it belongs to the republicans and that's what he wants to remind them. as a ok, braces for a recession, newly appointed finance minister, jeremy hunt claims the crisis is quote, made in russia. however, the former head of the bank of england pains a different picture and central banks had lost control of inflation. government lost control of the public finance, not surprising that markets respond to that and whose responsibility was it. then if both the central bank and the government control, well, i think all shantrel banks and the west interestingly made the same mistake. and during coven, when the economy was actually contracting because of lacto central banks to south. it was a good time to print a lot of money. that was a mistake. that led to inflation. we had too much money chasing to few goods. and the result was inflation. that was predictable, it was predicted, and it happened. what were you? k prime minister was trust is another prominent politician who repeatedly claimed

russia is the cause of the u. k. is economic struggles that says she was forced to resign after just 44 days in office. having propose a disastrous economic plan. her many budget included unrealistic tax cuts that sent financial markets into a nose dive in september. as trust continued to point the finger at russia, even british media struggled to buying into her claims. we have a very, very difficult economic global situation because of the war that vladimir putin has perpetrated in ukraine and countries are under pressure around this season. the season posts in this isn't just about pu, said, i mean your chancellor on friday opened up the stable door and spoke the horses so much. he could almost see the economy being dragged behind them. this is about payton on the war in ukraine. that is why we owe the banker england intervention, and i was the photo vladimir post him was a or a spoke to political commentator anthony webber who pointed out the irony in the u

. k. is alleged support of democracy in ukraine. we are told by the government we the public of the united kingdom that we must suffer for the sake of freedom and democracy in the queue, cried when the bush birthdate, judge even. no, that's all very, very real. ready freedom, democracy, and you crime because opposition, policies are banned. i'm sorry, we're all position media. but ironically, i'm president free media in the united kingdom at the might be because there are plenty of voices you want. the united kingdom's be neutral. who feel is sydney united kingdom specing trust to be neutral? i yet there's no voice given or completely platforming. oh for that sort of particular idea. we all know so woof. russia say, there is no reason for the media to be restricted box

a is the pastor biggest problem. we've got the latter for free media. the democrats appear to have maintain 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 96 percent of votes counted. so that's a projected blue when in the silver state. while another closed contest in arizona was narrowly decided for the democratic party's candidate as well. with those victories, the upper chamber of congress is expected to remain under democrat control. but it's republicans who look set to gain a majority in the house of representatives. meaning things have gotten tougher for the by an administration to get its policies passed earlier. my colleague union o'neill discussed the latest with our team fiorella isabel. so this is a very narrow victory for democrats with 5249 in the senate. 50 for democrats. now

this is because catherine cortez moscow. best fit, 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 both being counted in california, arizona, in oregon. and of course neither party has breach. so 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. jonesy 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 of 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, s. 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 is 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 may already be 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 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 were little policy work actually gets done. legal and media analyst, lionel believes the by an administration simply enjoys its impunity and will still blame trump and russia for its false be most important aspect of every democracy or republican world is a be able to say, i don't trust these elections. what we've done by virtue of this, this fish stick, a social media, this draconian ideology. we can ask a question because if we do, we are either consumer tauriel or 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 it in

a rather askance. i will sort 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 it, there is now believe it or not, a panel of sorts between prior president, obama and, and bush, who are you talking about this information and how we can stop this information? what does that mean? it meet censorship. what did 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 off this? china can't believe its own luck as the u. s. as shooting itself in the foot, those are the words of best selling author james bradley, who was the guest on the latest episode of artie's new show modus operandi, to find out more on why it is said that the west is suffering from the economic

blow back of its own sanctions tuning and stay with our program. in the meantime, here's a preview. despite the economic blow back, the whole world is experiencing. you know, this, this blow back from these western sanctions. it appears the u. s. is still doubling down. it's also encouraging germany to tamp down, you know, its reliance on russian natural gas exports to the harm of its own economy. what do you think china is sitting back there and making of all of this? you know, in terms of what is china making of the united states shooting itself and what, what is china making of germany and italy and the you are shooting themselves in the head? china can't believe it's good luck. every countries want to good is want to go run to china after seeing the united states steel, steel, the foreign reserve of

a sovereign country, russia. it's almost unbelievable to just like the truckers strike up in canada. once you learned that the dictator trudeau could get his hands into your bank account, they were closing bank accounts. so what is china think? i think china can't imagine what is wrong with washington. ah and that's all for now. we're sure to check out our t. v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at the top of the hour. ah ah

ah with ah ah, with a

ah ah ah ah. hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter labelle . the conflict in ukraine is demonstrated tactics can win propaganda and narrative points while strategy will ultimately determine the political outcome of this conflict. here in its western backers, excel and tactics, it keeps the conflict going. is this enough to trump moscow.
