a, a with, as the g 20 summit kicks off and indonesia, where the russian foreign minister, attending western powers are reportedly preparing to snub moscow. at the forum, i've been growing divisions of the ukraine crisis route. i hard a so go walk. it's to see where they lab. archie follows the russian army and their relentless are children, read rules with you printing. and truth has moscow repels key as a tax on the don basque red line with the african farming industry buckles

under price pressure. as the continent is forced to use expensive western fertilizers to replace sanction russians of flies, leaving local farmers in desperation and the government sees it wants to prioritize domestic availability, 1st and foremost, for it's 1400000000 mouth life may not be so sweet for many as india, because sugar export photos to ensure its own food security. amid a world food crisis, we visit local sugarcane production sites in india to find out more a month out of the world. this is our to international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories this our welcome to the program. anything but diplomacy with the upcoming g 20 summit scheduled to kick off tuesday in indonesia, western members of the group have apparently been more focused on how to snub

bratia at the meeting. rather than on finding common diplomatic grounds ahead of the event reports have emerge of the traditional family photo being scrapped this year due to some members, concerns about standing alongside russian officials earlier london and it's europe . ian allies reportedly encouraged other members to leave the venue during the speech from moscow's delegation. the u. k. pm himself vowing to quote, call out regime. this g 20 summit will not be business. as usual, we will call out putin's regime and laid bare their utter contempt for the kind of international cooperation and respect for sovereignty forums. like the g 20 represent ahead of the global gathering, the case downing street said the country's new prime minister, back by britain's allies could use this summit to confront wide am reporting about the war in ukraine president put in is not attending because of

a busy schedule he spokesperson announced days before the start of the summit. foreign minister la rob arrived here on the island on sunday, on the reception that was anything but confrontational minister, la rob, came to the de 20 after another international meeting. the association of south east asian nations, or us young in cambodia, not columbia, as you, as president biden thought. now that we are brought together here, cambodia, i look forward to booley not even stronger progress and we've already made. and i want to thank the prime minister of corporate columbia leadership for nationalization on chair. and that som, it wasn't quite successful. the members actually failed to come to a joined final agreement. if you agree, no collect of decision on a joint statement has been made because the united states and its western allies insisted on absolutely unacceptable language regarding the situation in ukraine. and it seems that washington is not going to change

a stone here in bali last week. president biden said the u. s. is military aig to ukraine will continue uninterrupted. and any territorial compromise between moscow and key of is up to ukraine. president zalinski is expected to attend the event virtually. and if we take his written speeches at numerous international meetings, it's not hard to imagine what message he's going to make here. at the do 20. he of claims that russia could sabotaged the black sea grain initiative. the only time she suspended its participation in the initiative was following a massive ukrainian drone attack on the russian navy in crimea. moscow then accused key of, of using the humanitarian corridor or home military purposes. after weaken, security guarantees were received. russia was back on board. the russian federation considers that the guarantees received at the moment seem sufficient and resumes the implementation of the agreement, suspended after the terrorist attack in sever stobel,

while biden is expected to be on apologetic in his defense of ukraine here at the d . 20 as well as putting more pressure in russia. the u. s. has its own foreign issues unresolved and burning. washington's relations with china. * arguably more problematic than ever over issues like trade and human rights, as well as the escalation or on taiwan. but before the 2 leaders upcoming meeting, the u. s. president sounded surprisingly optimistic, but firm i knew she for more time to many other role leader. i'm new and well, who knows me? no, we have very little misunderstanding. we just gotta figure out. the red lines are all in all the g 20 summit. this here comes amidst unprecedented divisions between major powers and an almost pressure. all the nations of feeling to big size, and that can fail to cost a dark cloud over the talks here on this beautiful song, drange island reef, nationality from bali, indonesia. now to the latest on the front lines of the ukraine conflict where key f

continues to shall, residential areas. look, oscar public. the village of above car was hit by high mars long range missiles leaving several residential buildings and a school damage. no casualties have yet been reported. air defense systems were also activated in the city of lugens. though no details were available on the aftermath of the attacks as ukrainian force as target civilian districts and regions that recently seceded. the country, the russian army has repelled the ukrainian attacks in little ganske region where intense artillery battles have been under way, reporting from the front line. here's our teas mariah garcia's. amid the fields and forests of logan's countryside, some of the fiercest fighting rages, day and night, mi solves, and shells crisscross the sky. the these she saw las at

this point. right now, i thought a salvo of distancing rockets to see where they lab to judge precisely how to correct auxiliary fall. what will follow? he's the artillery does not rest a multiple shifts. batteries of launches and howard. so as far as ukrainian positions, they are most often the deciding factor in whether an attack fails or succeeds along the criminal aisle smug. look, right, blood is still very much tense. russian defenses 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 ration defenses in order to find a weakling, to push their offensive, which is stalled across the la guns for glad ah would tell us that 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 lines, 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, a r t, from logan screeching harvest or under threat in 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 fertilizers produced in europe as anti russian sanctions make it difficult for moscow to supply pesticides to the continent. ortiz corolla has more details. as prices continue to go up of input costs like fertilizers, the question for african climate negotiators at the co op $27.00 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 you, she was totally out, you know, like, like, for example, like the prices you can go crisis, it's going up to report to go cost a killer mom for years. africa has been characterized by low. such allies are 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 hector 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. are the reasons for which chemicals are banned in europe and the world. i 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 those 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 in the environment. but according to local farmers, the industry is already buckling and the price pressure bonding, or you do need both, the larger you like to explain. it's like your water, you know, you need to, but you need to go to a lawyer so you can go up and say ok because of the price like that, i'm going to show you the complete lose your crop. you pick up inputs, most of the fertilizers they use and let me is that to impact of the west, the nation, the sanctions on russia is essentially x. one can hear 2 african vomas'. farmers have generally used are low effect aliza in they are 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 out in zambia, 50 cages, data reduction in that for the laser consumption from these level would lead to lower my heels and lower. yep, of course means back stays less apply for food, but as to how much of that would be, are that 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 effect eliza and at prices that are fairly affordable by farmers going green, often tends to come at a higher cost for african countries. but that has not stopped westman 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 p as back as us back 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 for the turkish interior minister. there's 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 video circulating on social media show the moment of the blast, which happened on is the wall street a crowded tourist area of the city. the turkish president called the explosion an act of terror. assuring the organizers of the attack will be brought to justice. emergency services were quick to get on site to treat the injured with video showing multiple police vehicles heading to the area. the side of the attack has been filled off with locals evacuated. no group has yet claimed responsibility for the blast. those of us are the suite to the could have

a bitter pill to swallow. as global sugar prices approach to record highs with top producers like india cutting their exports to protect their own food security. our cheese runjun sharma visited sugar cane production sites in india to speak to local producers. your in india or sugar came belt in western or 3rd, reddish. the cane, 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 off or 11000000 tons last year in the us mean 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 a seller. do the oil market under brazil comes in and if it is not supplying the sugar reach, the lawyer leads that i think that is a very low voice market. so the global surplus under for said they're 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 duncan's, 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 top 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's already struggling with rising inflation. menez at 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 relate. 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 richer 4 and a half $1000000.00 will going consumption for economy. 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 news in the pharmacy won't. because at 18 point cody 2 percent, every minute will be able to sell it still. so it should be able to pay back the farm was as well. well, 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 was up for another hoping ukraine is in us. interesting. that's the assessment of former u. s. secretary of state, mike pompeo on continuing aid to 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. if same my problem as physician over assistance to kiev has had a radical turn around i just 2 years ago and the national public radio interview he gave over us interest in ukraine with the journalist conducting the interview, saying the politician seemed furious 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 carry harrison who

says that supporting conflicts usually bring significant financial benefit for the assisting party hom. pale 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 trumpet 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. the democrats appear to have maintained control of the senate following this makes mid term elections as a key race. and nevada is set to be called for the party with 96 percent of those counted. so that's a projected blue when and the silver state. while another close context in arizona was narrowly decided for the democrat parties candidate as well. with those victories, the upper chamber of congress is expected to remain under democrat control. but it's republicans who look, sat to gain a majority in the house of representatives, which would make it tougher for the buying administration to get its policies

passed earlier. my colleague, you know, neal discuss the latest with our tea 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, 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 the word, 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 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 pen. 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 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, mail ready 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 ballads. 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 senate and the house of representatives were little policy work actually gets done. china can believe its own luck as the u. s. is shooting itself in the foot. those are the words of best selling author, james bradley, who was the guest on the latest episode of our chief new show modus operandi, to find out more on why that's being said, that the west is suffering from the economic blow back of its own sanctions. tune it as we bring you the story in the next hour. and in the meantime, here's a preview. despite the economic blow back, the whole world is experiencing 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 good 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.

mm. and that's all for now. we sure 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. a what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race. his on offense, very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk for me to come to russian state.

little never. i've stivers on the north lansky with within the 55 when. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. when else with rural van in the european union, the kremlin, yup, machines. the state aren't russia today and split our t sport neck. even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube with

ah, north atlantic alliance recognizance that grafted wolf shipped, cruising close to russia's borders, have become commonplace. along with military hardware redeployment and large scale exercises. nato has also developed its offensive capability near the russian borders every year the russian banks resume.
