yes, to say an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look for common ground. oh and says, i cannot confirm who is behind an alleged missile attack on its territory that as moscow calls the incident, a pro vocation and escalating tension, adding the missile fragments are not brush it with. meanwhile, the rest, as is unlikely, the missile was russia due to its trajectory ball. some nato states have already called to implement the alliances article 5 triggering a collective military response. as cop $27.00 continues, africa accuses western countries of exporting trillions to pay for global pollution

. which the continent is the least responsible for. africa has an opportunity to be on leave. i'm due to their own economist without following the store properly with us. but former us president donald trump analysis his bid for the 2024 presidency. that's a med claims for those governor rhonda santa could be the main obstacle on trump's way to the republican party nomination. a mosque out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. poland says it doesn't have any evidence to confirm who might have launched in alleged missile attack on its territory. moscow says the fragments which have reportedly been found at the site do not resemble any rocket currently used by the country's military. that's all despite

a different narrative being pushed by polish media less cross live now to our correspondent mariah garcia. now her out of what more do we know so far about this incident? well, this was certainly a, this was certainly a very tense night. the polish authorities riled up where people from all over the world. you had world war 3 trending on the social, on social media. now the polls have come out and said the look we have no idea who could have been behind the launch of these projectile. this rocket that landed on our territory landed in the village right next to the ukrainian border at the very western edge of ukraine. and nevertheless, we've heard from the american president who has also come out and said that it is unlikely that they said that this rocket was launched by the russian military.

we've also had the russian military come up and cool this pure speculation statements by push media and officials about an alleged russian missile strike are deliberate provocation, aimed at escalating the situation. the russian military has not conducted any strike on a target near the ukrainian polish border. the fragments shown by the polish media do not pertain to russian weaponry in any way. nevertheless, despite either will the inconsistencies here you had western media, jump on this story, the bbc coming out with a headlines in russian missile lands in poland for example i but there were, as i said, many in consistencies. what of these being the ah, the damage the that we saw on the scene doesn't match the power of any russian cruise miss. all that is the,

the caliber cruise miss. all the x one or what other missiles which have a much more destructive warhead that would have caused much more damage. you have also had a huge yes and median collaboration with various military analysts come out and say clearly that they were already identified. the remains the wreckage and that it belongs to the to the, to the wreckage of a $46.00. 48 d 6. variant of the s 300 me south the 5 v 55 miss up that he's currently in the hospital of the ukrainian military. and now these, the working theory that the ukrainian military launched several missiles in order to, to cept brushing cruise resolved. and that those went off course and landed in poland . nevertheless, polish authorities have summoned the russian ambassador in the country at saying

that this is a russian maid they saw, which is perhaps, you know, grasping at straws. because this miss, i could well be 4050 years old and produced in the ussr, which they then called also russia. poland is also triggered topical for of a, of the native charton. that is a consultations with ambassadors of all nato countries to she. how are they going to go about this event of moving forward? or here's where i got the i thank you for that report. the polish military is on high alert with the countries leadership in contact with fellow nato members. about the incident while pulling nato allies in the baltic. how the cues russia directly attacking the block and called for an immediate reaction as war saw as part of the alliance, a military attack on that country could trigger direct involvement from other allies. nato's article 5 states that it is tac against any member say is considered

an attack against all member states resulting in a collective military response. one of the alliance is core principles. article 5 has only been invoked once following the terrorist attacks against the u. s. on september 11th, 2001, an attack is defined by member states however, nato's top military power, the u. s. has tone down its partners will to invoke article 5. joe biden says the missiles were unlikely to be fired by russia. with the pentagon admitting the washington can not confirm whether they were used by the russian military. well, i think we want to deal with facts. and so again, we've seen the press reports. and as i mentioned before, i walked in here no information to corroborate these reports at this time. but again, we're taking them seriously and we're looking into them. and so i think it's incumbent on,

on all of us to get the facts before we start speculating or jumping to conclusions . and then we'll go from there. now it appears so far the united states has given a somewhat measured response, while some members of nato seem to be calling for an immediate escalation. we are hearing washington say that they need time to investigate and determine the truth. here's what we heard from the state department, just after what we heard earlier from the pentagon. i don't want to speculate about hypotheticals, and we're working with the polish government and our allies and partners to gather more information and assess exactly what will happen. we're going to do that, we will determine what will happen in permanent for britain next steps. now, joe biden is currently in bali for the g 20 summit. however, we understand that he has been briefed on the events and what is taking place. and now, as we've heard from the native she himself, the question remains, if this is a situation which article 5 would be involved in that would mean an immediate

military response, or rather that this is a situation in which article 4 would be involved in which it would be important for countries to consult with each other. we understand that the nato countries are at this point in touch with each other, trying to determine what happened and that appears the pretty solid position of washington. at this point is that more investigation is needed to determine exactly what happened while there are voices that are speaking loudly and calling for escalation the position of washington at this time from what we're hearing in their statements is that they need more information before making a solid decision nato has scheduled an urgent summit to be held later today. it is also said the international experts, including from the u. s. are going to investigate the incident. these off the record so called government spokesman, could get us engaged in a war and race hysteria. it already has got the, the corporate media all fired up,

claiming that it's all the components were rushed. russian. we don't know that we have no idea what, what they are and what they're to. it could be some piece of equipment from something that the ukrainian got from the west. who knows, we gotta be very careful because of the next step in this is something that could involve a world war and that's what we are trying to avoid at all costs. this thing could easily mushroom. this is a where we're at a very recent important crossroads and we've got to tread very, very carefully on this. and this should go before the un, the un should appoint examiners of the equipment, ensure that that the debris rather to ensure some objectivity so that both sides can accept certain conclusions. and that's what right now you don't have either side of trusting the other and their so called experts. so we really don't know.

the only thing we do know is that some debris that fell into a farm field was not an intent to aim at military targets. whereas the military target, so this, this is hysteria on steroids. ah, as carp $27.00 continues, there seems to be more bad news for africa. the continent needs to pay trillions of dollars to fulfill its nationally determined contributions under the paris agreement. according to the world economic forum, african countries will need to point 8 trillion dollars to meet their obligations under the paris agreement, minimizing emissions. the african continent produces less than 4 percent of global emissions, which pell's, in comparison with the 19 percent produced by the u. s. and 13 percent by the european union. the demand sparked protest among ecological activists with comp $27.00 gas saying that other solutions must be found for africa. can we

be paid for the damages so far caused by extraction? before we even slip down to see that when we need to fight drunk, we've been defeating in this for me to not touch. so if africans to develop, let africa, they don't look for solutions that are african and decide they said the solutions we are going to take africa ms to go there. we africa has an opportunity to be a leader on build their own economies without following the store capaluto spots was because if we said competing with historical polluters, their systems are very well developed. we might not be to them, but we can bid them by going good, we can bid them by being to renewable care me us. our teens corolla thought la, explains how the west helping hand is actually damaging south africa's economy and putting the countries energy independence at risk. an $8500000000.00 pledge made at

last the 26th climate change conference in glasgow is finally coming to life. rich nations of the west, who through their own industrial development, created the climate crisis. and now giving a global to south africa to get it off of coal. it's called the just energy transition plan is the deal between south africa and 5 other governments. the united states, the united kingdom, the european union in germany and france. but what's in it for south africa? we are using the transition to put yourself in debt in circumstances where we're not even using the transition to creating the best over in europe. we just wanted to spend one on a weston money, the the, the, the, the quick when it's gonna come from china. and we just going to be the subject of the debt and the image. so i'm sick, i'm, you know, i'm still skeptical about the strategy. can so the benefit,

the lumpkin benefit percent of 97 percent of the $8500000000.00 will be loaned, while 3 percent will be grant protest in germany have already kicked off the process by depositing 3 $100000000.00 euros each to the south african treasury this will be a 20 year loan, 5 years included of grace period, and they will be at an interest of 3.6 percent for france and 3 percent for germany . but south africa says more grants and less loans would work better. while south africa welcomes low interest or concession loans, a substantial portion of this funding needs to be in the form of grants. the move towards lower carbon emissions is imperative as the toll will begin to weigh heavily on south africa's economy. the list of interest rates rising is the one the issue of south africa had been taken. the loans in foreign is only going to

exacerbate the problem because the currency, the south african rent will continue to we can i east all and all major currencies . but europe is essentially a fossil fuel addict and cannot currently survive without them when russia reduce this natural gas supply to europe. leaders of italy, france, and especially germany, came rushing to africa, singing the same fossil fuels they used to buy from russia. europe wants to turn africa to its gas station. we don't have to follow the footsteps of the rich world that actually caused climate change in the 1st place. and they are also so seen those schools m, i mean cold from south africa and m guess from the rest of the continent. that's the focus that i think we need to be looking at and see what does it mean depths of this loan. so this touch western nations, apparently taking a huge gamble on the south africa, being

a successful model for how developing countries can transition from high to low cupboard. while south africa is itself taking a huge gamble on the west, then green agenda. and some commentators say it is being done at the peril of risking energy independence and sovereigns got melissa for out of t and jonathan. the canadian security intelligence service has ruled that the countries freedom convoy protest movement did not pose a threat to national security. a revelation which clashes with the government's earlier decision to invoke the emergencies act. at no point did the service assess that the protests in ottawa or elsewhere constituted a threat to the security of canada. canadian security intelligence service did not assess that any foreign state supported the protest through funding that foreign states deploy disinformation techniques or that any foreign state actors attempted

to enter into canada to support the protest. last february convoys of truck driver's blockaded streets and ottawa protesting against coven 19 mandates. and government mismanagement and calling for true to his resignation, the prime minister than invoke the emergencies act and a bid to end. the protest. the move extended the government's powers and was questioned by legal activists. canadian lawyer and legal commentator david fry. hi, says the police response to the movement was too violent, especially given the lack of threat from basically or day to the very last day when the police came in heavy handed holy, militarized police force. so by don't be surprised, protest. everybody knew it was an overreach at the time. the justification at the time was that there was a blockade of being back to the bridge critical infrastructure for anybody who's been watching this public emergencies commission wheel knew it from the time

b emergencies act was invoked. the ambassador bridge blockade had been resolved, would be a court order. by the time the market back was invoked, there was no national rank threat to infrastructure for to overthrow the state. what we're seeing through the inquiry is that even by today's own recognition, the provinces had all of the resources they need to put an end to it. but it went on for a little too long embarrass, just intrude on the special scale and his underlining 10th behind all of this was reprisals and punishing the protests as to what they did. which is why a lot of people think he invoke the act on the one hand to punish them. but on the other hand, to try to trigger a while and response from them to sort of retroactively justify in boca yeah. as the world cut football tournament prepared to kick off on sunday and guitar, the u. s. national team has redesigned its logo to incorporate aflac symbolizing gay pride. now, homosexuality is a legal and guitar, and the country has drawn scoring from european lawmakers and human rights

organizations. for a ledger miss treatment of it's l g b t community. that's like guitars, labor minister, to claim that western media is conducting a smear campaign on his country, saying that politicizing sport is unacceptable not. we do not want to close the door to constructive criticism, not at all. however, there should not be any politicizing and misinformation. the whole western political and media establishment have launched a campaign against casa in the run up to the world cup, despite the fact that culture is actually a key western ally. and i, as a muslim and the editor of most of the website, i can, i can find it really insulting. i think when you go to someone's country, you respect the laws, you respect the culture, even if you don't like it, you respect to you by the law. but what's not western media is encouraging for us to do particular when they got cutter is break. country law. so cutter is a place where homosexuality is bam,

it's legal and what we've seen over the last year or so it's, you know, politics needs to be kept out of sport, basically because it's in russian athletes band. we've seen all this, you know, pro ukraine propaganda with the world's most famous sportsman, being used as a kind of propaganda device. we've seen, you know, palestinians or arabs find and, and, and band for kind of waiting palestinian flags and stadiums. i think the way ford is literally key politics asked for, we cannot agree, there are no universal human values. we can't agree. so let's respect each other and keep politics on sport completely. ah, where are you? as president donald trump has announced he will be running in the 2024 presidential race. this is speculation that he could face fierce competition from florida governor under santis to become the republican party's next nominee. 2 years under joe biden have been a time of pain, hardship, anxiety, and despair as we speak. inflation is the highest in over 50 years. gas

prices have reached the highest levels in history and expect them to go much higher in order to make america great. a glorious, again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president. ah. the actual announcement itself was almost what you would consider to be the same things that you would hear at a trump rally. he went down the long resume of everything that he did when he was in office, everything that he accomplishes while he was in office. and obviously he took some very hard knocked at what he believed that president joe biden had done, and how he's hurt this country, not only domestically, but internationally, since he's coming off. it's just 2 years later, however, there was something that even at the political commentators on both sides said it was kind of not the normal energy that you would have expected from donald trump that you'd heard in the past that he was trying to,

as he said make it very elegant in his speech, and because of that, he only attacked the media, the fake news. once in his speech, how are we seeing a tramp going in to 2024? you mentioned a little bit of a different tune from him. but what do you think that his race is actually going to look like when it comes to the points that he's going to be heading on? and the places where he's going to try to once again went over the american people . president trump can to run and win without the support of the establishment republican party. in fact, them not getting behind you will actually encourage and engage not only the road conservative base, but also those independent voters who initially voted form and pushed him over the victory line. in 2016, however, one of the appeals to trump was that he was an outsider than people thought that he was going to be able to work the miracles. i'm to find out he did it. and that's one of the reasons why the boss in 2020. so now not only does he have a win, but he has a loss on his record, which can be very damaging for any candidate,

but especially a presidential candidate. going into a 3rd run. it will just depend on how well he gets out there. how will i can basis message, how well he tries to make people remember the hope that he inspired in 2016 as opposed to despair that he gave us in 2021 of the world's largest crypto currency exchanges. f t. x has filed for bankruptcy. the crypto market responded by tumbling to a 2 year low. the collapse of f t. x came after journalist exposed financial problems at the exchange which led to panic. investors trying to withdraw their assets with f t x failing to pay off. the exchange was also accused of being a financial front for the u. s. democratic party, as our team donald quarter explains a crypto market crash, at least $1000000000.00 just missing and a whole lot of angry shareholders and all the guy responsible for it has to say is,

i'm sorry, i'm sorry, that's the biggest thing i and should have done better, sam bakeman fried, had a company called f t x 11 of the world's largest crypto currency exchanges. now going through chapter 11 bankruptcy. the collapse came just days after mid term elections began, which is interesting because that the ex was founded in 2019, when joe biden was still on the campaign trail. what's more interesting is that bank been freed, ended up making the 2nd largest single donation to biden's campaign, a whopping $5200000.00. my goal is just to find out how i can do the most good. and i had a long list of things to look at, at least briefly. and politics has always been on that list. and i've been fairly skeptical of it. it's come as no surprise that the guy was dropping big box into the democrats mid term coffers as well. $36000000.00 he gave to pro democrat groups only to be outspent by the one and only george soros at $126000000.00. but money

isn't the only connection. f t x has with the democrats bank been freed. mom is the co founder of buying the gap, a pro dam organisation that fund raised $140000000.00 back in 2020 is that also drafted tax legislation for democratic senator elizabeth warren. clearly, blue blood runs in the family crypto currency entrepreneur chris and destroy my colleague, nicky, aaron, in the studio earlier to break down the f t x controversy. i think it's significant because a huge amount of emphasis was put on to specifically really by the united states, the government telling the world that f t x was the most trusted place for you to trade by sale and really learn about crypto currency. it's very strange that you know, they were too large. don't i don't this to the, to the democrat. so over the last say, 12 to 18 months. first one was george soros. the person that comes number to with

some bank fried the founder of f t x. now the biggest problem we've got now is because now there's no, not really any visibility yet as to whose money he used to use his own money. what did he use other people's just how common is it for crypto market like f t x to wise and for so quickly? well, i don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this. i'd say that this, this wasn't really a crypto currency project. this is a product that was costing millions of dollars. it was it really in a very short period of time became a very large global financial institution. you know, having that much money moving around the system. you know, they were bigger than most banks. so we've not really seen anything like that before, but i wouldn't say it is that common. i mean, it may seem, seem coming from outside, but i, i think the majority people in, in the print, the current industry acts with, you know, you know, using normal business rules which is good governance, best practice. it's not your money. it's someone else's. you can't just take money from investors and take money from people who trusted you with it and spend what you like. so it's not that common, however, you know, it's definitely a very,

very bad thing. the crypt, currency industry, of billions of dollars have allegedly vanished into thin air from f t x. is there any way to track the money? well, this is again, another good question. the question that arises is, where was the regulator, right? say really that in, in my view, and i think that we have a lot of people in the industry will. we've been looking to regulate this to say, okay, that's your job. that's what regulate this job. but it pays in this case that, you know, particularly the fcc have been really quote with, you know, we've been in court with a trousers down here. i mean, right now with the numbers, different entities that we can see, it's going to be very, very difficult for people to track without money when's, and who's got it in their pocket if they do, or whether it just disappeared into thin air. as you said, an interesting revelation came from the former us special on board of syria, one of the architects of anti syrian sanctions. and the video published on twitter, the official. so the sanctions quote really lower the bar for the us in terms of

crippling the syrian economy and preventing its reconstruction. the caesar act really lowers the bar for us. we don't have to prove, for example, that a company that's going in to do a reconstruction project in. ready damascus region is dealing directly with the assad regime. we just have to have the evidence that proves that a company or an individual is investing in that sector. are you an expert has recently called for western and arab states to lift sanctions from syria, claiming they are furthering the suffering of innocent people. the statement followed a 12 day trip in which the special rabbit for collected evidence of the devastating effect sanctions had on all across the country. alayna, do hon says 90 percent of serious population is currently living below the poverty line with limited access to food, water, and shelter. on top of which foreign importers are unable to deliver

a central medical supplies and banks are blocking payment systems. and we're joined now by elaine as your hon. us special wrapper tour on unilateral corps of measures and human rights. alina is great, have you on the program today? thank you so much for coming on r c. will you tell us about your experience in syria? what is the situation like on the ground there? it's belinda on me, want to participate in the fair. i'm so thank you for inviting. during my country visit to syria, we were trying to understand what is the situation on the ground water. the impact of unilateral sanctions on the current situation naturedly, it's necessary to take into account that the infrastructure of the country as well as the economy of the country you already did very much affected by the activities which took place, starting from 2011 and the very fact that they part of the territory to be outside

of the control of the government that guide there is no access to the resources like oil. for example, of the terry through which used to be used for agricultural purposes can be used a lot. unfortunately, once we could observe that in the case of nearly destroyed infrastructure and for example, in the 3rd of free will be 90 percent of 3, we sees him if you strike a huge part of irrigation be is destroyed, electricity and water supply. infrastructure is very much attracted so many people only have electricity one hour per day or 2 hours a day. and many people do not have access to safe drinking water. the for the outbreak of cholera is registered in syria. unfortunately, due to the impact of unilateral sanctions to d, b or reconstruction of any of these types of infrastructure is possible right now because as soon as anyone leaves since about 3000000000 or reconstruction of

anything inferior, the media 3 action is now we won't carry on the 4 people t colt because she is not available people to with that now got to cook. people caught of 3 affecting the environment and the use open fire to cook. the pros, t without light, without water, without sunny patient. and quite often without foods, because called chosen almost like a fact that it would be due to be unavailable to allow the seed be a pod for every cultural machinery and non reconstruct choice. so basically rule can irrigation system, so watering is not possible. what i could observe that people latino, very cold and very hungry winter it's carmen. many people are leaving, especially in the fear of those who have higher level.
