a use to patsy, a professional lithium to work with ah, ah, versus an o. d identifies wreckage found near the polish border as elements of the guy did miss out from kids. se 100 at defense system. abide and report the least says the explosion that killed 2 people is the result of a missed file from a ukrainian defense system. which kid had previously pointed the finger at russia for uncalled for nato to step and also on the program. as cop $27.00 continues, africa accuses western countries of trying to extort trillions of dollars to pay for global emissions. the constant is the least responsible for africa,
6:01 am
has an opportunity to be a leader and due to their own economies without following the store coupled with moscow to the world. this is art international. my name is peter scott with the top stories at 2 pm. moscow time, welcome to the program and rushes defense ministry has said it has identified wreckage found near the polish border as elements of a guided missile from an es 300 at defense system, allegedly used by key. if you have a d analyzing photos of that incidence dress, that all allegations of russian missiles falling in poland or a deliberate attempts to escalate the situation. incident that occurred overnight came after russian forces launched high precision strikes on ukraine's military control system. on tuesday, along with its energy facilities, was go stressed. the strikes were solely carried out on targets ukrainian territory
6:02 am
. no closer than 35 kilometers from the polish border. presiding, reportedly informed g 7 and nato partners that the poland blast was likely caused by a ukrainian defense system. let's call live now to our see don cold, please don't knows in the studio. don't. can you explain to us the u. s. position on this incident in poland and one of these developments that this was allegedly ukrainian as 300 until the system. what peter, surprisingly, it looks like the white house isn't actually trying to stokes the flames of world war 3 in this situation. i mean, it's made its position clear, these missiles are the remnants of these missiles were very unlikely to have come from russia. and even more surprising is that that kind of echoes the position of the russian defense ministry that came out and said that we saw these pictures that were going around the internet about these, about these missile fragments. and that these photos actually show remnants of
6:03 am
surface to air missiles that come from a soviet made surface to air missile system. and the system we're talking about is the s 300 that's most widely used by the ukrainian military. and plus, these missiles cannot actually even be used to hit ground targets in the 1st place . so it's definitely a lot more complicated than just a missile strike coming from russia as the a lot of western politicians. and the media were quick to say, because instead of waiting for more information to emerge, it seemed like a lot of politicians from the baltic states as well. as of course, ukraine were just ready to martyr themselves in a 3rd world war. let's take a listen to what they said. beat that i get them and kissing nato territory with missiles. this is a russian missile attack on collective security. this is a really significant escalation. action is needed. russian miss south, hidden the territory of the need to members a very dangerous escalation by the kremlin. lots expresses full solidarity with our
6:04 am
ally, poland, and will support any action deemed appropriate by poland. russia will bear full responsibility for all the consequences. latest news from poland is most concerning . we're consulting closely with poland and other allies, the stony as ready to defend every inch of nato territory. we are in full solidarity with our close allied poland. so how is this infant being covered in the western media? don't i know i woke up this morning some quite shocking headlines. right. there is no shortage of them. that's for sure. i mean, accusing russia of supposedly accidentally launching missile strikes on poland and there was no shortage of hysterics. either. a lot of these headlines called this a legend, russian missile strike. a shocking act to others said that it was going to be, you know, the run up to the possibility of a 3rd world war. and one even accused russia of straight up bombing, poland. i mean, there was, these were just in the headlines though,
6:05 am
what we saw on western televisions was equally as scary with take a look nature, he shouldn't be restrained, at least in its language, in its message to russia. would the us need to adjust its force posture there, and there is actually a lot that nato could do in this is, in fact exactly the kind of scenario that journalists like myself and been posing to nato. what exactly does it mean that you will defend every inch of the alliance territory? so that's going to be put to the test. now, what would that mean? now, for this conflict, and whether it now spills toward, elicits a reaction from nato. and finally, don't. what about the victim of this in some poland. how's it reacted to this missile bloss. it's a place on his territory will. soon after the incident took place, the polish government said it was going to convert a convene, and amir, an emergency meeting, discuss what is actually known about what happened and decide where to go from there. but the strange thing is that it took
6:06 am
a poland and ukraine actually hours after the actual explosions took place to actually say anything about it. and it's led a lot of people to ask a lot of questions as to why. and it's also led moscow to say, basically, if poland just told the truth about all this from the beginning, then we wouldn't have had the scandal that followed that. let's take, listen to what dmitri, pest grove had to say. poland could have immediately told the truth about the missile incident, then every one would have immediately understood that russia had nothing to do with it. now it's also interesting to note that pretty much right after this happened. we started hearing from western politicians and media personalities about the possibility of nato invoking articles $4.00 and $5.00 after this happened. now, just to give our viewers an idea of what that is, the latter of those 2 articles says that an article that an armed attack against one member state of nato shall be considered an an attack against all of them. so
6:07 am
it's going to be really interesting to see if it's confirmed that ukraine is at fault here. if nato is going to react the same way to key of as it would against moscow, at least what we know now for now is that germany and nato have said that they're not ready to open a no fly zone over ukraine over this incident. was some interesting source. don't types of breaking down the latest development so that the missile blast in poland for thanks very much. lily r t spokes adults is devonne guy h, a professor, the institute of european studies in belgrade. if there's an escalation in the situation. ukraine is in no one's interest. i honestly did not expect a escalation, but i did expect a lot of hysteria. unfortunately, in many eastern european societies. there is this war mongering unless he culture in the last a couple of months,
6:08 am
which are really that is growing out of proportion. i think they're very responsible, especially for countries bordering, ah, bordering russia, that are members of nato. because it's the last thing for tara national interest would be to actually get involved in a conflict and for the conflict to escalate. i mean, i expect it to be down played look at what happened with the investigation about the nor stream. we have an elephant in the room. ah, and we have germany and france which became literally a punching bag for london and washington even kiev. ah. and they are not even almost, or they're not even allowed to talk about the, you know, who was the perpetrator? what i see is not only censorship, let's say when it, when it comes to do the lives of people who work for cancelled. but also it seems that certain countries are being muted. and especially,
6:09 am
i say the core of european union that the biggest victim of the war is the e u, which is being stripped from from powers and by the, by the anglo american coalition. let's overnight situation has also made waves all the way in indonesia where to key as president has stressed the ongoing g. 20 meeting that blaming russia for the explosions without evidence will be quotes of provocation is r t 's maria phenomena with more and the story. picking up the press conference here in bali just a while ago, the president of turkey a. another nater state said that quotation, the reason general impression amanda leader is here and of quotation that russia has nothing to do with the attack. adding that the countries are now considering the version of a technical mistake that could have been behind the incident. old mother. there's a general impression that this miss hall is not russia made. i do not think we
6:10 am
should insist that this miss hall was launched by russia. this will be a pro occasion. that is the gun also sad that turkey or he's now working hard. oh, continue in working hard to try to bring moscow in here together for negotiations. threats, saying that he believes that this conflict could and should be resolved through peaceful efforts and through dialogue. and certainly groundless accusations did not help these efforts. and we also added that these planning to talk to russia president wanted more, put not to hear back from the d. 20. it was a big question at this year's day 20, whether it's members, torn apart by unprecedented divisions with the over how to approach russia, ukraine conflict will at all be able to come to a consensus over the final declaration. and now we hear that the document has been adopted. we heard earlier from russia's foreign minister instead of a law grove that some western countries wanted the document to be politicized. and
6:11 am
include condemnation of russia's special military operation, the ukraine, but certainly russia and also china, india, brazil, saudi arabia, in indonesia at least, refused to accept such wording. and now that the final edition of the final declaration says that most of did d 20 countries condemn military actions in ukraine, but quotation, there are other opinions about this situation. date, 20 final declaration. also note that the use of threat of use of nuclear reference is an acceptable that the grant in conflict with existing problems of the global economy. and also stress the importance of the grains yield so called black c grain in a, brokered earlier by turkey. and the un allowing the export of rain from earlier and was ukrainian for 2 poor countries. and all g. 20 members are in favor of extra suspension, if not prolonged. it is supposed to be expired in just
6:12 am
a couple of days on the sidelines. although estimates we also money to speak to the russian minister of finance about the grain and energy crises, both of which have come up for discussion in bali. he also spoke of quote versus isolation from the despite efforts from others. moscow participated in all the talks. but just sitting on the symptoms, yes, indeed. many issues were discussed at the summit that directly relate to the russian federation, such as the energy crisis, grain, health issues. we also actively participated in discussions and digitalization you asking about continuing the grain deal. it's true that many g 20 countries proposed to continue the deal because we all see the situation with hunger and the number of african countries. and so the flow of grain food to these countries was a major topic of discussion. the russian delegation drew attention to the grain deal and the source of communication with colleagues. sir. j love rob, speaking of the summit of leaders said that russia is for the continuation of the
6:13 am
deal only for grain that is supplied under the black sea agreements to go precisely to countries which urgently need grain but not to western countries and countries with the european economy as is happening now. therefore, we spoke in favor of continuing the deal under the control of grain dispatch points . so grain would go to countries that really need it. we also talked about the need to control the volume of energy supplies and prices about the various restrictions that western countries impose. and that these restrictions hit them since they lead to price increases. and such increases hinder the growth of the economy and the well being of people living in these countries. therefore, we are in favor of removing all barriers to the export of energy resources. removing all barriers that prevent us from exporting our energy resources to other countries. and to day, there are many barriers. this homes, the world economy, and the g 20 itself was always considered the issue with the world economy and its dynamics. all this was stressed by the russian delegation, and i think that the western countries heard this image. emma was character sooner
6:14 am
to delegates in kirkwood, on behalf of our entire delegation. i can say we do not feel any isolation here. yes. in the speeches of an individual western countries joining the events of the g 20. there was a certain town in terms of restrictions and culture rush at the end, its special operation, et cetera. but no issue was discussed without russia on key issues. since our country is a significant part of the world economy and not a single issue can be resolved without us versus europe. moving on now as called 27 continues. there appears to be more bad news for africa with the world economic forum saying that the continent needs to pay $2.00 trillion dollars. so meters, paris agreements, obligation to minimize emissions. wherever the african continent produces just 4 percent, even less than 4 percent of global emissions, which pales in comparison to the 19 percent produced by the u. s. and 13 by the u.
6:15 am
the demands hubspot process among eco activists. with some cops on 7 gas, saying that all the solutions must be found for the continents. can we be paid for the damages so far? course, my extraction. before we even sit down to see that when you need to fedex tracked with benefits in this. for me to not africa. so if africans to develop, let africa sit down, look for solutions that african and decide decided solutions. we are going to take africa ms to go there. we africa has an opportunity to be a leader and build their own economies without following the store capaluto pathways. because if we step competing with historical polluters, their systems are very well developed. we might not be to them, but we can bid them by going green. we can bid that by being from your book where me, us artes corolla toddler, explains how the west impacts on south africa is economy is putting the country's energy independence at risk. an 8500000000 dollar pledge made at last the s club
6:16 am
26 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 create any databases. over the years. we just wanted to spend one on at western money the, the, the, the, the equipment is gonna come from china. and we just want to be of assistance of the debt and the image. so, i'm sick, i'm, you know, i'm still skeptical about the strategy chem. so the benefit,
6:17 am
the long term benefit for 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 300000000 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. now the list of interest rates rising is the one the issue of south africa had been taken the loans in foreign. he is only going to exacerbate the problem because the currency, the south african rent,
6:18 am
will continue to weaken against all in all major currencies. but europe is essentially a fossil fuel addict and cannot currently survive without them when russia reduced its natural gas applied to europe. leaders of italy, france, and especially germany, came rushing to africa, seeking the same without 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 group, the continent. that's the focus, the 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
6:19 am
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. good. i will, as i can pull out of tea in johannesburg. but interesting revelation came from the former u. s. special envoy to syria, one of the architects of anti damascus sanctions in the video published on through through the official said that the so called us sees i've signed in force in 2019. makes it easier for washington to target companies involve in the construction of the country, making serious economic recovery much harder. 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 the damascus region is dealing directly with the assad
6:20 am
rushing. we just have to have the evidence that proves that a company or an individual is investing in that sector. well, you are an expert who recently visited the water country code on western and our country is to lift onto syrian sanctions, claiming their prolonging the suffering of innocent people on hinder any prospects of the country building. after years of war, the statement followed a 12 day trip during which the special reports are collected. evidence of the devastating effects sanctions have had to across the entire country. i want to do. hon is that 90 percent of serious population currently lives below the poverty line . limited access to food, water, and shelter. forwarding ports is all unable to deliver essential medical supplies and international banks, payment systems. it's view to do hon shed her experience and explain why lifting sanctions is so important. sanctions imposed violations in violate international
6:21 am
legal standards. they attacked human dries of people in peoria enormously and the continue to the fact that even longer. so the information from interlock tests, which i was able to collect your theory clearly demonstrate that the influx was already huge. but unfortunately it became even higher talking from 2019 and see their act has been adopted. and today the impact over the economy and over all or yes or functioning i would say critical or use is so enormous that i even feel that it shall be lifted immediately. starting at the 1st page will lead to all the sanctions imposed over critical infrastructure. because we are not speaking now about life of people be easier or more complicated to us that can about the survival of serious people. the problem is that by the use of unit, later or sanctioned, there are a number of legal treats which are used to. so q and b exist legal not or to deny
6:22 am
the existence of such treats. for example, include the enhancements of the country as a country phone. so terry and rejection on the ground state him unity as well as supplication of principles national law that in the go, the similar situation agrees with the announcement of the state of national emergence. it was done by the united states told us every country as the ground to impose unilateral sanctions was absolutely doesn't correspond. the criteria. automation emergency gemini, has nationalized, a former local subsidiary of russian and joint gulf problem, which was renamed to securing energy for europe. back in april, that's a theme, ways to maintain energy security, middle looming, winter. art contributes a visual martin has more in the story. earlier this week, the german government announced plans to nationalize
6:23 am
a former subsidiary and germany of russia's state own gas from which it seized earlier this year. the company called gas prom germania has been renamed to securing energy for europe, or se f e. so where did berlin get the bio cash from? from brussels to the tune of over 225000000 euros worth of aid. and now polen plans to do the same with gas problems, euro pole gas assets inside the country. they're just the latest of a wave of nationalization that have hit european energy companies. already this year, france nationalized gas and electricity. supplier electricity did false or death, which also sells gas by the way. and berlin did the same with uniform. the countries taught gas importer in order to prevent the country's energy system from collapsing. it says we're being told that the nationalization are necessary to save
6:24 am
these companies because russia left them high and dry. but it was just back in september that you commission president ursula vander line, and now the decision to confiscate a 3rd of european oil gas and coal companies. quote, excessive profits as the so called a solidarity contribution to help europe in household struggling with energy prices . we're not exactly sure how that's paying or translating into any kind of really for them that hasn't been detailed. it's also hard to imagine that investor confidence in european energy companies wouldn't have been spoofed by that kind of move, even more than the u. sanction of it, of its own energy supply from russia as a part of a deliberate ideological and virtue signaling strategy. are you really serious? we need mine own russian oil and gas before you will have your supp as far to the old net ban. so in my opinion, it's time debt after the americans and the british also we decide on of for
6:25 am
temporary ban on russian oil and gas, as long as this aggression and case continuing. nonetheless, russia repeated virtually non stop that it was willing to continue energy supplies to europe. even after gas prompts north stream gas pipeline system into europe was mysteriously blown up. russia is ready to astonish all supply over the borders in the european union's corn. if they want it, they can just open the top and box it. if such decisions are made by a european colleagues with regard to gas supplies for their consumers, all necessary procedures will be carried out to ensure the supplies will do so. now, the narrative being peddled by germany is that it has to nationalize energy companies including gas prompts, assets. because russia cut off europe's energy supply. in reality, it's the e u that cut itself off and then was so oblivious to the damage that it had done that it figured that it could treat them like cash cows on top of that to fund the
6:26 am
damage that their own sanctions had done to european households ability to pay for the inflation and energy price heights caused by their own policies. and now just like someone who breaks an expensive vase in the store, brussels is having to pay a to germany, to buy the gas from subsidiary that it broke. yet another resounding success for european economic policy. and finally, a meeting of a u. s. sled group of defense ministers, unofficial in support of ukraine, is set to take place on wednesday. and i comes as dozens of members of the ramstein group feel the consequences of unseat russian sanctions, ortiz se sweeney. hummel. breeding the press. you think there's been no slow down in western support for ukraine. that the money just keeps flowing, antique. he has coffers, but dig a little deeper and there are some noticeable changes which could see tensions at
6:27 am
this unity at the ramsdale meeting on november, the 16th 1st internal disagreements within the u. s. on money and peace on money by dom was clear for once. he didn't think that there would be a problem agreeing with the republicans to keep sending cash to ukraine. but there is significant resistance to this continued support. i think people are going to be sitting in a recession and they're not going to write a blank check to ukraine. i want an audit of where every single penny has gone and found into cream. everyone is okay with that. right. and k ever submitted that without financial help, the fight would be over. with all this financial support, our public finances would collapse. and it means that this immediate victory for russia. so what will the democrats do? and how successfully try and force huge bill through congress ignore the main concerns of their voters and sacrifice domestic stability for the sake of ukrainians. and the 2nd point of contention is on peace. as winter approaches. it
6:28 am
is the u. s. military top ross, who, according for diplomacy and we seen the cranium military fight, the russian military to a standstill and know what the future holds are, is, is not known with any degree of certainty. but we think there are some possibilities here for some diplomatic solutions. then there are the disagreements between the u. s. and e. u, which are seen as economies crushed and mass protested is member states due to his anti russian sanctions. says it is unable to isolate russia, talking up the need to negotiates, and that's causing some problems in the u. s. which means it's vassals on the continent. so promote the image of a united front. the one thing that i do worry about is a between the united states and europe, because the united states looks better positioned on energy because we are a major producer. we should have been working on this transition earlier. on top of that, ukraine is reportedly burning through ammunition sent by the west,
6:29 am
so fast that it's running out in real time and the west can't keep up, so zalinski can keep begging for more. but the west might reach a point where it has no more to give or can't afford to give it without sacrificing its own security. so no doubt will hear the same old statements of standing with ukraine, of being with care until the very end. but political rhetoric can only mask the disunity for so long and with winter just around the corner, life will get tougher for every one. well, my name is peter scott and i'll be back again. are the top of the hour with all the latest news. and views writes here on out international. i hope to see you then. ah, ah
