a joe biden imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. mister, there's boomerang a, a lower the work, or do not do oil war? no cold war rhetoric. this is the message at the g. 20 summit on opening day. as western members keep calling to further isolate russia over the conflict, the new frame and moscow continued to increase its cooperation with emerging world economy. the un general assembly adopted resolution on russian war reparations to praying with dozens and member states gaming or voting against the initiative. and the biggest fall and support for you. credit related resolution

since the start of the war. the drive to support the drive with less and less of support in the united nations. it is being shape as a new subject, but everybody understands that this is about stealing russian essence. the west must take responsibility for the global polluting activity that put call out the car. 27 un climate change conference with africa planning industrialized nations for today's climate crisis on the continent. a month out of the world. this is archie international. i'm rachel glover. here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program, we begin with what appears to be growing tensions and a lack of solutions. as tuesday march the opening day at the g. 20 summit in

indonesia, the world is watching to see whether leaders will be able to agree on a joint statement as divisions deep it over the conflict in ukraine. the speaking at the opening of the meeting, the indonesian president, the host of the summit called on the members to prevent another cold war. as a conflict in ukraine shows no sign of abating. we should not be fighting the work into pop. you must not a low and the world fall into and not the world war ree, my and the war the war. that's not n. it will be difficult for the world to move forward in turn, the indian prime minister warned against promoting any restrictions on energy

supplies, and called for insuring stability of the market. now this comes as this year's summit has already seen calls from western members to isolate russia. nevertheless, moscow's cooperation was developing g 20 nation, including india and china continues to grow r t 's maria. the notion has more from bali. oh, as the summit starts here in volley, the question rises, what can we expect at its end? the main intrigue of these here is the twenty's, whether the members will at all be able to come to a compromise to consensus over the final declaration as the group is torn apart, unprecedented to lead by enormous divisions within the group over how to approach russia, ukraine conflict to head of the global gathering, the german tend to love pushed and cold other nations for in the isolation of russia here at the summits,

or rather more isolation because that is what the west has been exercising for months now with endless packages of economic sanctions against russia, but it didn't seem to be working and even seems to have the opposite effect as the economies of the united states and western europe are now projected to be declined to with a near full decade, high inflation and rocket in prices for food and energy due to end to russia, economic sanctions, they in fact initiated while india and china that's russia logically strengthened, ties and corporation. we've been pushed towards the east and isolated by the west are on the opposite to become the world's lead, an economist in the near future. and they seem to only increase trade with russia, some impressive figures for you in the last, in the 1st 8 months of bass here. china investments in russia showed 150 percent increase compared to the last year and multiply

b. jane are planning to invest. another $1300000000.00 in joint project. russia, india, bilateral trade. another 130 percent growth in september compared to last year, and also russia now emerging has induce top energy supplier in october after the meeting with the and foreign minister last tuesday. he's ain't in counterpart. sad that buying oil from russia would be to del, is huge interests, an advantage. it is hard fundamental obligation to ensure that the indian consumer has the best possible access on the most i'd want to just comes to international market. and in that respect of, quite honestly, we have seen that a, the india rashad relationship has worked to advantage. and other countries want to join breaks and walk of leading developing countries continues expanding its

political and of course, financial influence with algeria, argentina, and iran. now, applying saudi arabia, egypt of gun is done in turkey, are very much interested along with ng denisia. that is expected to make a formal application to join here at the g 20. if accepted ricks would become an entity with a g d p 30 percent larger than the united states and in control of 30 percent of global gas reserves, no wonder why the west is so furious and is desperately looking for an escape goat . russia is trying to fixate the global economy. we must join together to stop them in their tracks and restore economic stability. at the g. 20 leaders need to step up to fix the weaknesses in the international economic system. which putin has exploited for years. that is actually ironic to hear these allegations as a was the west decision to hobble russian economy by sanctions. but why, when a didn't go as when the west was quick to blame russia for the collage solve the

global economy. and now it seems the u. s. and the u. k. have come up with a perfect plan, how to avoid any responsibility for the konami crash. the rascal rick, the talking now is the economy will not recover unless the war and restrictions have only been growing. and now, when the western nations are at the data and let's wait and see where the g 20, these here may be able to find to bring any solution. almost half of un member states abstained or voted against a resolution adopted by the general assembly calling on russia to pay war reparations to ukraine, co sponsored by the united states and its allies. the resolution received the lowest level of support for ukraine related motions. since the conflict began, $94.00 countries supported the initiative to hold moscow accountable for violating

international law. while 14 nations including china, voted against the resolution, claiming it lack sufficient legal basis $73.00 states among them, india and brazil chose to abstain. we spoke to dimitry, polanski, russia, as deputy ambassador to the un who said the resolution lacked a legal basis. the nature of these initiatives, it's not about you crate it. it is being shaped as a resolution on ukrainian subject, but everybody understands that this is about stealing russian assets about some illegal move which is being contemplated in the hands of some west, some quality issues. and it's very difficult to conceal these tools. that's why all the, the countries that we're considering these draft. so they were absolutely mindful of these, these double layers of this resolution. while some un member states consider the

move illegal, others recall western interventions and colonial exploitation which never yielded reparations. and justice artes caleb martin, explains this is certainly significant because since the ukraine conflict escalated, there has certainly been an effectiveness on the part of the united states in mobilizing the world to condemn russia. not today. as the vote took place, it became very clear that a number of countries just were not comfortable with this resolution. there were 16 countries that signed a statement pointing out that there are a number of countries around the world that have suffered illegal invasions sanctions, attacks, slavery, colonialism, and that those countries are certainly entitled to reparations. and can talk about iraq. you can talk about vietnam, korea. 2 other countries and those countries have not yet received any reparations for the crimes committed against the, by the united states or it's western allies. however,

the reparations should be carried out on a sound legal process. not simply through these resolutions that are just presented randomly to the general assembly. now, the russian ambassador to the u. n. a benzo. yeah, he took to the podium and he pointed out that a number of countries simply don't want to go along with what appears to be an attempt to justify the outright daft of russian assets around the world. he also pointed out that the entire basis through which this is being carried out doesn't fit with un procedures. decisions like this should be made by the un security council, not the general assembly body where the united states took this resolution. here is some more of what the russian ambassador had to say about today's resolution. shibley's 2 pins with inferior already of this initiative is obvious. from a legal point of view, the provisions of the draft to not stand up to any criticism or legally no. and lloyd, it's an attempt to legalize what can't be legalized from the point of view of current

international law use. this is a classic example of the concept of rules based order when a group of states does not act on the basis of international law, but seeks to sanctify lawlessness using the authority of the general assembly and positioning it as a judicial body, which by definition, it is not in this just a coolness to now the resonant baster also pointed out that one of the key deceptions from those supporting the resolution was this claim that somehow the money that was being used would go to help the ukrainian people. when in reality, the money was going to be used to prolong the conflict to supply you with more weapons that you carry out more military action than in for along the conflict lead to more killing lead to more dep. it was a moment where it became clear that the support the united states has had for his efforts to isolate russia or staff to russian assets and unilateral sanctions on

russia attempts to push russia off of the international economy. that support may be faded as the economic consequences of this effort from the united states and this prolonging of a conflict. as the economic consequences become more and more apparent, many countries around the world are starting to ask questions and not have the do the as them they may have had once before. dimitri williams gave russia's deputy, a master to the un, again, believes western attempts to isolate russia are seeing less support among un member states. what happened to be in the year might be a very serious warning for some countries and their allies that drive. there was a big dr. reaching less and less than the united nations. they might be disappointed and discouraged by the result. results of today's voting. not only the voting, it's necessary to point out that there was also very unfavorable for them of the

beef where developing countries where pronouncing their grievances against western countries. that they were reproaching to them. lack of constructive approach. in other cases where we could involve reparations and the remedy for their actions. so they were saying quite directly that this is a clear example of double standards and that the rush they, the western countries won't to prioritize ukrainian crisis. and to forget about all other crisis situation in the world. so there was a lot of very, very passionate speeches that were assumption not and music to the western years today. and the general assembly, i think, or a talk between moscow and washington has taken place in turkey, according to reports which were confirmed by both countries. the meetings were held

by high level intelligence officers, including the director of the ca and his ration counterpart. according to the u. s, the subject was the rising risk of a nuclear conflict and did not involve the conflict in ukraine. u. s. national security spokesperson added that ukraine was breathed in advance, that negotiations would not be held without kids participation a spokesperson for the kremlin also confirm that bilateral talks took place, adding they were initiated by washington. former c, i a analyst, an host of our cheese, new show, the whistle blowers john kerry arco, says that such communication is in us interests as americans can't afford to provide plain checks to ukraine. talks are always good. it's always better to have a channel of communication open than it is to ignore one another. we can't afford in the united states to just provide a blank check for weapons and weapons systems and materiel indefinitely for the

regime in key f, because people don't ukraine. i think that we will see a push for basic talks, both from pressures inside nato and the european union, as well as here in washington within the congress. i think this is a very big deal. and bill burns, the cia director, is far, far more experienced in these kinds of issues then is the secretary of state himself, tony blinking. he has spent a good part of his career working with russians. the russians know that they can trust him and take him at his word and vice versa. so this was a big deal to send burns and not to send tony blinking. it tells me that the u. s. is serious about keeping this channel of communication open. ah, the industrialized west must answer for the global emissions problem. we face today

. that's the message raised out the cop 27. un climate change conference entering its 9th day. we spoke to mohammed a down director of the power shift africa, the think tank. who said that africa need support from historically polluting western states. if it's to become a leader in green technologies. 2 things we need to understand. our continent has the greatest population in the world that it's got into energy. we have 650000000 africans. currently don't have access to electricity close to a 1000000000 africans don't have access to clinical care. and so it's in our interest to address with limited energy excess chunk, but do it in a way that is climate compatible. if you look at the, the climate change phenomenon where the continent that has suffered in fust on west, and so a transition to renewables and africa becoming a green leader. and effectively helping the well to limit global warming to below

1.5 degrees in our interest. the only sure way to actually secure our welding and our future prosperity is by transition to renewables, not just in africa, but up close to was included into his total unit pollutant conscious. i think what we shouldn't mind of the stutter colutus is for finance and clean technology. and i think we should demand that they actually assume responsibility for the hums that they've cost. the climate problem that we're dealing with was largely caused by the historic emissions in the current so called industrialized countries until indian london, that they actually pay the climate debt. we shall use dutch opportunity to help paula, you know, sustainable energy access, but also our future development so that we attract finance on clean technology and use that to help after the explosion. the incredible potential for renewables in our continued well as at the center of talks at cop $27.00 and pushing

a green agenda, the west seems to be sidelining problems on the african continent. the question of clean water access is still one of the most pressing topics at the summit, as around one and a half 1000000000 african still live in areas of high water vulnerability or geez corolla reports. what axis is a powerful tool in the hands of those that control it? in october, some 16100000 people that's over a quarter of south africa's population had to contend with weeks of water restrictions imposed by authorities in south africa's economic heartland. the hosting province high temperatures, as well as the rolling power blackouts with some of the reasons cited behind these restrictions. but not everyone agreed margin coming back from work after a long day and you have to stand in a keys not to buy food, but water. lots of people are taking a lot longer at the water trucks than they should be. and sir,

in the sofia town area, i've seen a few fights break out because one person was literally filling up drums for the past couple of days. we have literally had to take baths in bowls. you have to choose between cooking and using the toilet. this is just an example of how things can go wrong in water management. in the south, in tip of africa, south africa, apart from its high altitude areas, is generally what an area and much like his neighbors would wanna in namibia has vast quantities of lands that as semi does it or does it. but south africa as long taking a bet on its landlord neighbor the what's a rich mountain kingdom of la. so to for axes, nearly 800000000 cubic meters of water. go from the sioux to, to south africa in a year, earning the landlocked country, billions. but people living in villages near the dams don't benefit and even have to get their own water from unprotected sources from which waterborne diseases spread. despite the many bodies of waters peppered across the continent, the dams,

the rivers, the lakes, the valleys, africa continues to suffer from water shortages as well as what a borne diseases, water scarcity effects, one in 3 people in the african region and is getting worse with population growth urban, ization, and increases in household and industrial uses. bladder scarcity often encourages people to store water in their homes. this can increase the risk of household water contamination and provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes. mosquitoes or carriers of dank, a fever, malaria, and other diseases. the impact of climate change on water resources from past and current emissions is as clear as mud because water does not fall under the 19 lang to, to treaty of the united nations framework convention on climate change. but africa and much of the developing world will be arguing that it does and it should very much form part of the formal agenda. the what water rarely appears in international

climate agreements, even though it plays a key role in issues such as food security, energy production, economic development, and poverty reduction. this potential of water must be explored, given that our actions to reduce global warming a currently lagging behind our ambitions. water does not need to be a problem. it can be part of the solution. water can support efforts to both mitigate and adapt to climate change from the floods in nigeria to the drought in somalia, in the millions of this place. people will be looking upon this conference asking themselves why it seems to serve the interest of the global north and turning a blind eye to the true realities of climate change on the ground. because more often than not, the true impact of climate change is measured through the ability or inability to separate glass of clean drinking water, global insights for

r t in johannesburg. east countries have agreed to introduce new sanctions against her. ron, following protests that have rocked the country for months. meanwhile, the iranian government has accused the german chancellor on unable malik behavior. as berlin continues to express support for the protesters, you appeal to european union has already adopted a number of sanctions packages. we want to continue to step up the pressure on the revolutionary guard corpse and the political leadership, my message to the demonstrators and to citizens with uranian roots here in germany is this. we stand for everything that you are calling for, for human rights and women's rights. we stand shoulder to shoulder with the iranian people. say iran has repeatedly accused the united states and israel being behind the countries unrest. iranian officials have also blame the german foreign minister for taking an interventionist stance on protest in iran. after official said that

berlin would not let up in pursuing sanctions over a crackdown on protesters. protester wrapped it in the country last september, following the death and masa omni while in police custody. she had been arrested and tay wrong by the morality police are not wearing a headscarf properly. protest have continued amid ongoing internet restrictions imposed by the government over 2000 people have reported leave and taken into custody. since the demonstrations began, political analysts and researcher christopher holly thinks that western countries will support anyone regardless of ideology to promote their own interests. this is part of the hybrid warfare that the u. s. u and nato on leaching on the run . this of current batch of the sanctions not only targets individuals and those connected for example with your i r g c. but also it targets press tv,

which is a media outlet. so it goes to show how bankrupted the european ideas are of freedom of speech and freedom of expression and the media independence. this is the natural reaction to support anybody who's against the governments that are, you know, supporting liberation struggles that are supporting a self determination in the global south against western intervention and western regime change operations. so ultimately, you know, they'll support anybody regardless of the political ideology. we've seen that in their covert support, for example of islamic state and al qaeda and aldosterone in syria. we see that the west, over and over, doesn't really care about anything but its own interests. its own financial gain and its own power and the supremacy in all the regions of the world. so they will support now any protests, regardless of what they're demanding. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and out. see you right back here at

the top of the hour. ah ah no one. no, sir, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no. what go more shrill than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program. that the world had ever no real, you know, production issue or she'll book a enough fuel to when you saw new rochelle he on more mom she no longer thought this is meant new against them. all. one of our new i'm, i got to learn much sale. i got ya. i got on monday. i wish to know about joy. whoa, whoa, knew feeding or gosh, all more or less enough,

jr. let's i had to put the sky mother on all our buddy bill. could you come up? our nice. oh boy, that's good to go on. what the on the wall. she my a new on i can send a lot of put them out to think about. okay. so what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. that development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with

me. ah, hello, welcome to worlds apart. the americans never had a problem starting wars, especially far away from their shores, but putting in than to them has often been obliged to mass, barely year after it's disgraceful pull out from afghanistan, they bought an administration got itself involved in the ukranian conflict with no formulated exit strategy at this point. are there any better options to finalizing these conflict than a dead end all wars the end of the world? well, to discuss it, i'm now joined by richard black, former virginia state senator and returned to us army colonel sen. it's

a great honor, great pleasure for me to talk to you. thank you very much for giving us this opportunity chat. but thank you. i'm very pleased to be there with you and i'm very concerned about the events that are taking place. and so i look forward to our discussion now before we got to the details of the current confrontation, i want to give our viewers a little bit of a sense of who you were in your active military life. and i know that before becoming an elected official, you spend 32 years in uniform 1st as in marine pilot them down as an army lawyer. and i guess it's no surprise that the man who saw wars up close and personal would be concerned about them. but i wonder if i in your viewed the ukrainian conflict, stands out in any way from all the odd there wars that the united states has been involved in. well, this is

a very intense war. and we have reached a point where world leaders and certainly the united states, the united kingdom. so they, they have become extraordinarily reckless in what they are doing. there is no indication that the parties are seeking peace. now on, when i say to parties, i'm talking about nato talking about my own country, the united kingdom, and then, you know, i'm just very hopeful. i've been unlike so many of the people who make war, i've actually participated. i've been wounded. i've had my radio men killed right beside me. i've flown combat missions. i've had my helicopter hit by enemy ground fire on for a cage and.
