the african farming industry buckles under price pressure as the continent is forced to use expensive western fertilizers to replace sanction russian supplies, leaving local farmers in desperation. then the government sees it wants to prioritize domestic availability, 1st and foremost, for it's 1400000000 mouth live may not be so sweet for many as india cuts, sugar export photos to ensure its own food security, a middle world food crisis, we visit local sugar cane production sites and india to find out more a month out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories was our welcome to the program. anything but a plumber? c, with the upcoming g 20 summit set to kick off and indonesia on tuesday. western delegation

have apparently been more focused on snub russia at the meeting, instead of looking to find common ground diplomatically ahead of the event. reports have emerged of the traditional family photo being scrap this year due to some members, concerns about standing alongside russian officials earlier london and its european allies, reportedly encouraged other members to leave the venue during the speech from moscow's delegation with the u. k. prime minister himself bowing 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, backed by brit who'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 business shadel, 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, lobrado, came to the d. 20 after another international meeting. the association of south east asian nations or asi on in can border not columbia, as you, as president biden thought. now that we are brought together cambodia, i look forward to booley new even stronger progress and we've already moved. and i want to thank the prime minister of cooper, columbia leadership nationalization on chair. and that summit wasn't quite successful. the members actually failed to come to a joint final agreement. if you go no collect of 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.

and it seems that washington is not going to change a stone hearing bolling last week, president biden said, the u. s. is military aig to ukraine will continue uninterrupted. and any territorial compromise between moscow and keith 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 russia 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 for military purposes. after weaken, security guarantees were received. russia was back on board. the russian federation considers that the guarantees received at the moment seems sufficient and resumes

the implementation of the agreement, suspended after the terrorist attack and severs 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 all and all the do when to summit this here comes amidst unprecedented divisions between major powers and an almost pressure. all the nations of feeling to big size, and that's conte failed to cost a dark cloud over the talks here on this beautiful song drenched island reef. nationality from barley indonesia, red lines. were we the primary topic of the upcoming conversation between joe biden and sharing, paying at the g 20 summit in indonesia, the u. s. president shared his assessment of the planned meaning. i know i'm

a new one. well, you know, understand chinese officials have made less optimistic predictions about the upcoming talks. according to a spoke person from the chinese foreign ministry, beijing will quote, firmly defend its sovereign chief security and development interest. there are numerous disagreements between the 2 superpowers, such as washington's military presence in asia, alleged human rights violations, economic policies, and especially questions surrounding taiwan. so to get more on the prospects of the upcoming summer was cross live now to chin goes to a political analyst and senior fellow at the pan goal institution. thanks so much for joining us on the program today. now the g, 2000 and platform that could be used for solving and discussing global pressing issues, but will the west really use this chair or use this chance rather to change his

time? now there have of course been reports that ratio to neck is calling to boy caught russia statements at the summit. how do you see this playing out moving forward? well, you do here like why? like big you, okay. crime minister and also french foreign ministry that we're calling for basically for our i think the client is at a g 20 families that think that the long message member, the g 20 g that is not include the western nation, yet they have a problem with russia over your credit, but that they are wrong. that's not a problem. india, not the problem. china, not the problem of the global. so, you know, as india for a melissa that, that when there's a problem with the european global problem, when they're who bought from like, who used to work,

that's not the problem. so that's not okay. not constructive at all. now, you know, you make a good point there because when you're talking about the g 20 summit, you're talking about all of these leaders coming together. a lot of opportunities there. but it also seems like when it comes to the western leaders, that they are almost taking it as more of a platform to state their opinions more so than actually working together. so when you get this kind of polarization and possibly degradation of international institutions and platform, what is the lasting impact of that? well, that's a good question. actually if you look at the chinese media to change the language, the media, and also media in countries focus on hold to content, post the newspapers in english. and you can be all asian, they should at least say, come to reveal about africa and they're developing world, you know, they're really awesome together and resolve those challenges or climate change

daily economy. and you know, how restructure the future because the developing world stuffing, the most terms of fascination in terms of the madison in terms of the prevention folks sample and treatment that they have power if there is more tweet and the priorities continue ation of globalization because they will at baker from that at their economy will continue to roll, but where they are focused and their power is different from the developing world or the global out example. we go there, i bought a call from china or having a new cold war. i came to china to make sure china will never the pos, the us. china will never replaced the us in terms of the economy, the innovation in some of the technology. that's not a helpful at all. you look at the problem today,

a lot of them comes from the confrontation of that from washington. you know, i look at the reading china, the us. it's all about the washington picking up why we pay over time to the my wife, right? 00, one is china taking over i was gone over and the state of the united states. no, it's not the case. i think that's very clear all the world to keep that in mind. even though you know, people say natal expansion threatening, you can, i mean, because this is russia and russia probably will have to do the one we've on the other to protect is national interest. and that's how it will be the your current by your opinions and the us, the open, the prior to the, in the, in the last thinking differently from them. i think this is the moment for them to realize this world is not, you know, like the hot,

like which he was dominated by the know, the birth of the, you know, shows that the countries that can resolve the problem, the need to join hands with other economy like china, india, south africa, brazil, that's what you need to resolve the problem that you're facing the world in particular, a possible global economic recession. that's the issue for every country. yeah, unfortunately it seems as though the west really isn't looking to a lot of the solutions other countries could be proposing that would affect their own nation. now, when it does come to the upcoming meeting between biden and president, she, we've got by an already talking about red lines going into it. so what do you expect to come out of those talks? and is there hope that we can get whether it be some sort of peaceful agreement or even just cordial talks moving forward when those 2 leaders need?

well, i think there is a year between china in the us that he's back, the relationship should not be allowed to be able to. both nations will somehow engage in military conflicts or even a wall, or we're one of the, remember that the, the thing is the us in the provoking and then the last speaker up the house to challenge you, trying to use the salt rent you over taiwan challenges cultural in february over one is not china. think somebody challenge the us already in the us is the corporate that the us, the party which created a lot of problem is the ability, tribal, not voicemail, but china and all asia and asia pacific launch. the launch, you can see a lot of time around with the visit with you to promote the visit, the one you can see the rapid reaction response from isn't acceptable. just pack no

countries, don't the new countries the all the us and watch interviews with the keep that in mind. no, i mean asian carpet that not they don't welcome the us relocation. don't well come to us. moves that we biden to, you know, i think is appropriate to clear the right lines that we need. how want to part of china, how want to change over and t, and watch it to not interfere or encourage, emboldened, independent, independent. one of that is to print to the island from china, that the bottom line on a white line is a perfectly clear. i'm thinking about a variable, as long as there's no wall, we can do whatever to attack the chinese. i think the china, china will do all of weekly everything to protect your final interest. and by back the next 3. yeah. now i want to talk to you about the issue of taiwan hair. why

have you on? i know that when we've heard these statements from china, they have talk again and again about protecting their sovereignty, protecting their territorial integrity. and yet you have that by the administration where you at house speaker nancy pelosi going to taiwan making a trip that was seen on a global scale despite those warnings from china. so how do you see the issue of taiwan being discussed specifically? and do you see the biden administration backing down with some of this rhetoric it is put out there in terms of its approach towards taiwan and towards what beijing is said? no, i don't see that us backing down from the how one. unfortunately in particular the midterm election, can you give them credit? they may have a lot that these in the how, but they have been hand control and then that mean and also by the bit week to a non have the passion to why and for 20 part the for that means like he's less

likely to compromise it make to the chinese from the relationship all the easier i want. so that means that, you know, the us continue with the already hawkish, confrontational approach, what china. so that's very fortunate because new age of the 5, these are the all the us kind of reach kinds of compromise. all kinds of like p deal with, with make in order for a mechanism manage that different, that meant relationship because they know people relationship between china us is not only the 2 countries key to the future developments you to reject. so the us, i don't think you can tap into consideration. so that's, that's the, that's the way as you look at that will be almost too focused on,

i'm to spend quite the amount of money investment in a button to make sure that we will be willing to be part of china. how, why is part of china high world look at the, for all of the countries like russia, like either or any other countries. they have one child, all of the problem, part of china, including that of the us. but there's only one country, the world that's taking a challenging chinese rank or i want the united states, the us is the biggest problem makers, us the problem of the world, not japanese. so i'm not that that, but only you know, what is somehow in the future we can find a way peaceful way to solve this. how i'm sure a certainly a lot of state care and will continue to follow as those talks take place, senior fellow at the panel institution sion does do. thank you so much for your time and insight. thank you. ah,

now to the latest on the front lines of the ukraine conflict where key at continues to shall residential areas move on to region. the village of above was hit by high mars long range missiles, leaving several residential buildings in a school damage. no casualties have yet been reported. air defense systems were also activated in the city of guns. though no details were available in the aftermath of the attacks as ukrainian forces target civilian districts and regions that recently associated the country. the russian army has repelled ukrainian attacks and lo, ganske region were intense artillery. battles have been under way, reporting from the front line. here's our t more. i'd gaz diaz, amid the fields and forests of la god's countryside, some of the fiercest fighting rages day and night resolves and shills crisscross the sky. the these she silas at this point.

but now i pod a salvo of distancing rockets to see where they lab to judge precisely how to correct auxiliary fall. what will follow is 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. smog about rock plot is still very much tense. russian defenses here are stable. the frontline 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 weak link to push their offensive, which was stalled across the la guns for blood with yellow sedation 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 launch. 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 war at gast 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 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 club $27.00 conference is can

least still advocate for more financial support for the sector in the face of historically low output raises arising, so weekly, by the middle of the year or. ready 6 months you, she was totally out. you know, like, for example, like roger's chemical crisis, it's going up to a killer mom for years. africa has been characterized by low. such allies are used and low crop yields fertilizers, our 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 and 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 parley, hypocritical to 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 efficient funding, or you do need both, the larger you like to explain. it's like you're water. you know, you need to, but you need to put you through the sale if you want to buy the lights or 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. i said to eliza 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 long why yields. and lower yields of course, means that stays 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 a laser 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 western nations from imposing the green agenda on the continent. but we have localize in manufacturing and production of fertilizers in resource rich africa would soon that initial food security than any green venture would gotta melissa philosophy. john, is that, oh,

i suspect husband arrested after a blast that shook as symbol in which 6 people were killed and more than 80 injured . that's according to the latest information from the turkish interior minister. as on verified 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 images disturbing. ah, videos circulating on social media show. the moment of the glass which happened on is dick 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 singled off with locals evacuated. no group has yet claimed responsibility for the blast. and those of us with the suite you could have

a bitter pill to swallow as global sugar prices approach record highs with top producers like india cutting their exports to protect their own food security artes . render and sharma visited. sugar came production sites in india to speak to local producers. your in india 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 of or 11000000 tons last year in years 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 to the oil market under brazil comes in and if it is not supplying the sugar which the lawyer leads that i think that is a very his lawyer market. so the global surplus and deficit denado green 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 fixed 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 with 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 1400000 mouth. the move has been welcomed by many like this sweet shop owner in was offered nagger, who's already struggling with rising inflation menez year. 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 gap 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 shore with ethanol made from 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 to the pharmacy as well. 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 sweet for the country. it will leave the world thirsty for supplies, at least for some time. runjun sharma, r t was that for another. china can't believe its own loc as the u. s. is shooting itself afoot. that's according to best selling author, james bradley, who is the guest on the latest episode of our cheese, new show modus operandi, to find out more on the globe, back of fact,

of anti russian sanctions tune into the program after the news. and in the meantime, here's a quick 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 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 in italy and in the e. u. a shooting themselves in the head. china can't believe it's good luck. every countries want to good is want a good run to china after seeing the united states steel steel, the.
