[000:00:00;00] ah ah, it was not just an intentional attempt at this information, but it conscious attempts to bring me to which is currently conducting a proxy war, into a direct conflict with our country. russia, the master to the wed slammed allegations of moscow involvement in the poland missile incident as anti russian hysteria. adding the accusations could have led to a dangerous escalation that as western powers admit, the fallen missile apparently came from you. praying with kiev going against his allies, narrative insisting it was not

a ukrainian mental blocks. the south african leader calls on the th, when a group to accept more countries from the proximate into their ranks. as africa pushes for a bigger role in geo politics. a month out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories that be our welcome to the programmer. poland has decided not to invoke a provision of nato's charter for an inquiry into the missile incident. the un security council convene to discuss the situation according to russia's un ambassador. the missile incident was a deliberate provocation by ukraine and poland to bring nato into the conflict. yes, we believe this meeting had not been scheduled. we would have had to convenient anyway . the discuss the attempts by ukraine and poland wants to provoke

a direct clash between russia and nato. but it was not just an intentional attempt at this information, but a conscious attempt to bring natal, which is currently conducting a proxy war, into a direct conflict with our country, which is at the meeting we heard russia present evidence regarding the deadly incident in poland. and russia came forward and pointed out that these allegations that were leveled at russia and the aftermath of the incident, diesel allegations led to a very dangerous escalation. it appeared. this was an attempt to draw nato countries in the conflict in ukraine, which is quite serious, and russia presented evidence. we did hear from different countries that spoke. they continued to criticize russia, but they did not focus on the incident. they didn't repeat some of the heavy allegations that were escalating things within the previous the previous day,

a previous 24 hours. it seems like they are moving away from trying to blame russia for the deadly incident. but it was pretty clear that western leaders did very much want to keep the focus on demonizing, russia. we've heard from the nato chief stoughton burger from the german chancellor . they do admit that this missile, it appears to have been of ukrainian origin. and that the deadly incident that took place was not the direct responsibility of russia. however, they continue to argue in kind of a convoluted way, because the conflict itself is one that they blame on russia, that the incident is, therefore, russia's fault. here's some of what we've heard to have no indication that this was the result of a deliberate attack. and you have no indication that the russia is preparing offensive military actions against natal. the incident will slightly caused by a ukrainian air defense mi sign,

fired to the fens ukrainian territory against russian cruise missile attacks. but let me be clear. this is not ukraine's fault. rashaw bears ultimate responsibility. ah, suit continuous, it's illegal war against ukraine. guns claw is one thing is clear, no matter who's rocket it was, and for whatever reason it fell in poland. this would not have happened if russia had not started a war against ukraine. now this is slightly different than what we've heard from zalinski and the ukraine government. despite all of the weapons and support that's been given to kiya, it appears that they trust their own generals more than they trust the western countries and their own investigations are the words that we're hearing from ukraine officials seem to indicate that they still blame russia were the deadly incident. here's what we've heard this from you live. i have no doubt about the

reports from the commander of the air force and commander in chief zone lose knew that it was not a missile and not a missile strike. yeah, and i have no reason not to trust them because i've been through this whole war with them. well, this is quite interesting. they see zalinski basically saying that the dutch prime minister in the white house, the pentagon, the nato chief, the german chancellor. all of them are not correct. he seems to be insisting that somehow this is russia's fall, this is russia's doing. and it reminds us of what was said before, the un security council by ambassador benzine. when he spoke for the council, you said this was some kind of provocation and candid to draw nato directly into the conflict and watching the ukrainian leaders stick to it. despite back that western leaders who have been quite quite generous in giving quite a bit of weapons and support to the key of government. the fact that now we have the government here insisting that no. busy they are wrong that this could not have

been an air defense missile from, from ukrainian force is the fact that we're hearing that seems to indicate there may be a sign of the key of government kind of thumbing. it's no at the nato countries that have given them so much military support. over the last few months, journalists and political analysts, john rowley says that the west is likely to turn a blind eye to cranes. involvement in the missile incident created the native protector. in course, they have blinds to do whatever they want. any outrage, provocation is acceptable for nato. any ukranian publications, if this is a war of nerves, if the propaganda war of the site sign up, the idea is to, under russia under moscow. and, you know, ukraine, the de facto protectorate of nato, of the usa. so they can of course, do whatever they want and it will be forgiven. it will be it'll be ignored. for

example, incident like this. ok, so they, so you brain kill to be said, no big deal of russia did it. we're going to vote article 5. let's start world war 3. you're dealing with extremely on hand, irresponsible people in washington in london, and brought them with you crying. anything is possible because they are trying to drag. you may go into the conflict into their conference right with russia. they are trying to do that, so i think it's quite probable. also possible there was an accident. they were trying to shoot down a russian missile. but chances are, this is a deliberate effort to provoke nato to invoke article 5 into tac, russia possible. and other developments b, u. s. secretary of homeland security says americans should worry about a possible nuclear escalation and ukraine has any potential fall out would not

affect the us. although the united states has expressed concern about the russian nuclear unrest. we do not anticipate that a nuclear detonation in europe would have direct health consequences in the country . meanwhile, donald trump, whose announce he will run for president again in 2024. has accused the global community of overlooking a growing nuclear threat. the renew deals and the environment which they say may affect us in 300 years is all that is talked about. and yet nuclear weapons, which would destroy the world immediately or never even discussed as a major threat. can you imagine they say the ocean will rise 18th of an inch over the next 200 to 300 years. but don't worry about nuclear weapons that can take out entire countries with one shot. oh, grand mass professor stephen guy, it says that an atmosphere of global paranoia over the situation ukraine is

creating a real nuclear threat. it seems to me that we live now in an era where a nuclear threat is imminent and a people got used to live. i really think this is more dangerous, not necessarily because somebody wants to to, to go ballistics literally. but because of, because it creates an atmosphere in which a paranoia is so high. that's a certain events can be misreads by the other side. and then i things, can you go out of course, just because of a series of mistakes and i think that we are in a, in a really a grave, a situation of a possible aah, global nuclear conflict. the global warming is important, of course, the levels of the ocean all that. but this all comes officer

a we are done with the imminent threat. the african union, which includes $35.00 country, should become a permanent member of the g 20. that's according to the south african president who says that the global food and energy crises can only be solved with the continents help we call for continued g 20 support for the african renewable energy initiative as a means of bringing clean power to the continent on african terms in this regard, this can be best achieved with the african union joining the g 20. as a permanent member, it is only through a collective and united response that we can resolve the challenges of food and energy and security across our world. africa as issues have been one of the main topics that this year's g 20 summit as the continent basis, increasing hunger, china's president has also back the idea of inviting more african countries to join the international group. all the world's total shyness supports the african unions,

accession to the g. 20. the concerns of developing countries must be taken into account. professor antony van new kirk says it's crucial for african countries to play a bigger role in organizations like the g 20. the g 20 is not the only international instrument that africans can use to promote and enhance data and prospects in the global economy and local governance. by the way, there are other forums and alliances, for example, bricks which might be even more important. i think for africa than the g. 20, many of the problems in africa relating to p security conflict in stability. but a source exploitation are caused by colonial, any period behavior by exploitation, by external actors. and so many of the problems that africa faces are not caused by africa itself, although we can't escape some blame of course. but nevertheless, some of the big issues, for example, you know,

when well and gas when actually sources are discovered, their former colonial masters are quick to, to jump into africa with promises of development, aid and support, and a seat at the table, all important decision making machinery and instruments back, we know what the agenda are, which is why my view is important for the f, for africa as they're presented by the a you to take its place at the bargaining table with the g 20 to protect its interests and enhance its own stature. but at the same time, cannot, it cannot be the only in international instrument available to the african continent controlled by the west, which is why i mentioned one or 2 other instruments. bricks i think is really important and might become even more important in this global term will that we are going through and some even speak of a revival of the non in line movement, maybe in a modern form. so yes,

africa has different options to choose from and as must be very careful who it makes alliances. but as we faced this turbulent time globally, brittany has analysis carry. mission will withdraw from molly ahead of schedule. the african countries authorities have now turned to the russian private paramilitary wagner group to help fight against as long as the insurgents. now, according to a u. k government minister, the troops were supposed to remain in molly for 3 years, but would now be pulled out over the next 6 months. around 300 british soldiers were sent to the country back in 2020, to protect locals from islamic militants as part of the un mission. however, the crisis has recently escalated and the ruling june has begun working with russia's wagner group in response to france also withdrew from molly, ending as in decade long presence in the african country. meanwhile the

leaders of molly and burkina faso, how few meetings aimed at tightening cooperation in the fight against terrorism. a local journalist sent us this report so he says visit abra booked in a parcel cup. jelly brim tower has chosen by marco to pay a visit to the city, or is the army for a little us and be great. if this isn't, that makes sense to most of it. we live for a week later. the minister of defense of money. i've the head of a high level delegation, was it what got to go for the meeting with his colleagues of book, you know, fossil security is a common issue between the 2 countries. there is a need of type corporation between the 2 armies, including the choice of partners. asenique boyd, arbitrary of burglar showed you, but i am told it,

follow him hooked it up also at my lee. i've shedding december 1200 kilometers. it please. what children's group, especially 3 borders book, killenger and money. if the countries are willing to give it to put the pressure on those groups within li will low archie. what did we also spoke to some local citizens who shared their assessment as the long running and controversial french involvement in molly? oh, paris shouldn't interfere with what we are doing here. burkina faso belongs to us. paris has no say in deciding its future lousy did harris's war it as it can lose a colony like the wants at season, balkan faso. and molly, when we are confident that russia can solve our problem with equipped and they half, we believe that they can help us fight terrorism to defend lose if we are not satisfied with the situation and book enough fossil,

we can understand what is happening there. we also do understand why we keep on suffering defeats, we support of such will. latrice on the french money proposal, the former ambassador of their canaan, vasa share his thoughts on frances departure from the country, just as brittany leaves neighboring molly. but fundamentally, i do not think russians could replace the french if this happens, it would be temporarily. russia cannot replace france in francophone africa. i doubt that what could happen is that the russian presence could increase here. but the presence of russians does not prevent the french's. it is nothing out of the ordinary that russians have an interest in bacchanal. it's in their interest as a powerful state. i said in 2 or 3 newspapers, a why to cooperation with russia will be beneficial for the kena, but not under the illusion that this will solve all our problems. all that cooperation with russia will replace cooperation with other countries like france.

joe biden has officially congratulated the republican party with securing its majority in the house of representatives in the mid term elections. despite the result being a projection republicans are already celebrating their victory with the required 20800 feet majority reached by the g. o. p is expected, the house will replace nancy posey as speaker. the senate however, remains under democrats, as biden's administration was able to secure a one vote majority. so to go further in depth on this, let's cross live now to radio host and political commentators be gil steve. it's great to have you on the program today. now, i know many predicted and then coming read wave of sorts in the form of a decisive republican victory in both the house and the senate. but did you only manage to get a slim majority in the house and failed to win in the senate? what do you make of the results that we've seen from the mid terms?

i think it was surprising and i think folks on both the, the right and the left to this country are surprised at the results. democrats anticipated redway. republicans certainly anticipated redway. and when you look at the house and some of the senate races were talking about half point to one point, margins being the difference in what would have been a red wave and, and falling short. i think there are a couple of things that brought that to bear. first of all, the budget ministration did a great job with spending american taxpayer money to buy a win in the mid term se drain to our strategic petroleum reserve. almost empty in order to temporarily lower gas prices, so they weren't as low as when biting to office, but lower than the high just a few short months ago. so some people i think, felt like things were doing a little bit better and they were able to do that by depleting our reserves that puts us in a dangerous place moving forward. i think the economy improved slightly because of lower gas prices improve things slightly. again, they're going to get worse. and then i think some of the issues that republicans handles,

they didn't handle particularly well. and the idea that somehow the crime in our street, the economy not doing well the war in ukraine, being funded by us tax dollars. all of those seem to bode well for republican victory and frankly, inexplicably they, they didn't carry much weight with the voters this time. yeah, it was certainly interesting to see those results now, another possible race that we could re seeing. of course, there's a lot of talk surrounding donald trump announcing that he will run again. and of course the question of whether he is going to be the next g o p nominee once again . but we saw those disappointing mid terms at the same time. we also saw a decisive victory in florida for ron de santis. so why do you make of that possible race between those 2? and do you think that randi santana is going to throw his hat in the race and is really going to give donald trump run for his money here? i think president trump's announcement that he was running was

a very subdued trap. he was looking forward rather than back. i think one of the problems a lot of voters have had the present top is constant harvey on what happened or what should have happened to 2020 rather than looking forward to what we need to do next to help make america great. again, in present worth, i think his speech was the dude. he didn't get a name calling. he didn't show kind of the, the political rhetoric that some find unattractive. so i think he handled the announcement very well. i do think that the reason to rush the announcement was in part because he anticipates that whether it's new york state officials, the federal officials, the outgoing democratic congress, that there may be an indictment coming down. i don't think any of that central indictments carry any real legal trouble for president trump, but i think he wanted to get ahead of any potential indictment so that he can claim there's just political payback for the fact that he's running for president. i also think the right of the center says,

handle things well by simply being quiet despite the tags on him or president trump . despite the tags on the virginia governor glen young kid by donald trump. both of those men who i think have huge political futures have sat back, not responded. i think the best option for ron to santas is to basically sit back to the next 3 to 6 months. let president trump run for president and see if he can restrain himself from attacking others. while i think around de santis, greer and political success in florida will continue to bump him up as a potential candidate in less than 2 years. and i think he can afford to be patient at this point and let donald trump get out there and see if he can make a while the sunshine's right. all certainly see, i'm curious to see if he decides to really go for it and to go up against trump. now, when it comes to democrats, i mean, they have been more focused on donald trump than seemingly anyone else for the last several years. same time,

it appears as though what they're not focusing on is they're nominating joe biden, who continues to make it sound as if he is going to run once again. and at the same time, it doesn't seem as though there's much of a challenge, or at least from my viewpoint, what do you make of that race for the democrats? and is there someone that they should be looking out for? if joe biden does decide that he's going to run again, or especially if he doesn't, in that case, i think it's interesting that the democrats were touting. they're not losing badly as a when we chose out. now what they were certainly anticipating a red wave themselves. i think it does make it more likely the joe biden moves forward since the democrats didn't get wiped out at home. i think it strengthens his hand to run again with kamala harris's, vice president, which may force some of the other pretenders and contenders on the democratic side to have to sit on the bench for another few years. i think by a candidate, i think the strong republican can certainly be the man. i think we're going to pay

a price economically, and internationally for the poor decisions with the budget ministration is may of the last couple of years, even though they dodge the bullet in the mid term elections. i think joe biden is the democratic nominee, and frankly, they don't have a strong bench behind him. i do think it's also going to be interesting to watch the finger pointing and the blame game as, as republicans take control of the house. although with a small minority or small piece of a majority, nancy pelosi will not be the speaker. the house will see, vacate her job in progress. will she continue to be back inter trying to have influence in the minority or will other step forward? i think some of the fight on the democratic side of the high house certainly be worth watching. yeah, great question all around and a lot of daycare for the united states over the next couple of years. radio host and political commentator, steve gill, as always, thank you so much for your time in analysis. i

mean, the ongoing us china trade war, our top world bank official says that the 2 countries shouldn't dominate discussions on subsidies or restrictions for other countries. we have to manage it in a way that builds trust and provides predictability. otherwise, they can lead to higher costs and who pays for higher costs? consumers and developing countries who can be shut out of these global value chains . the world bank also says subsidies and trade restrictions should be applied hand in hand with the world trade organization, which has its own means of insuring market stability. this comes after us trade representative. catherine time says that washington's aim is to prevent beijing from using non market policies. i think that is part and parcel with the non economic practice and concerns, and we will continue to work on those issues. journals actually times the says that institutions like the i m f and world bank have cause great problems across the

developing world for many years. well, who is this managing director of the world bank? you don't have to be john perkins, his book, he, you know, make a hit man, confessions of ego again, when a showed how that institution with the i m. f has done so much to torture and misery. hundreds of millions of people across the developing world for so long to, to know a bit about armies very difficult from that interview to take the managing director of the world bank seriously, especially when of course, bricks and s c o r. you know that they're coming fast on the tracks of both as institutions. i may remember being here in, in do my 22 years ago being told in foreign affairs magazine, the china will never be a powerful country at all. i don't think jain is worrying too much about any of this, and you know, none of the bricks a country leadership saw. they seemed very excited. indeed, i'm coming to you from,

from dubai. i was at a conference here and organized by ross congress, moderating in the u. a health ministry was saying, we've got to have close collaboration, business cooperation in elca, for instance, with russia. and that's not a guided thing. you're going to hear in the european union. it is in the global south, which opposes everything. arguably, the world bank, p i m f, and increasingly w t o stanfull. at b, i director christopher wright warned us lawmakers on tuesday that allowing tick tock to continue operating in the united states could pose a threat to national security. we do have national security concerns, obviously from the f b, i 's end about tick tock. the chinese government could use it to control data collection on millions of users or control the recommendation algorithm which could be used for influence operations if they so choose or to control software on millions of devices. however, the f b,

i doesn't appear to see similar threads from us platform facebook, which has had its own share of scandals caused by massive weeks of users personal data back in 2018, a former employee of facebook, british consulting firm cameras. analytic reveal that the personal data of nearly 90000000 users was collected without their consent. the following year facebook was fine. $5000000000.00 by the federal trade commission due to its policy privacy violations. but the social media giant continued operating with founder mark zuckerberg saying that mattel takes cooperation with the f b. i seriously look if the f b i, which i still view is a legitimate institution in this country. it's a very professional lawn force and they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something that i want to take that seriously. we spoke to legal and media analyst, lionel, who says there is

a thin line between ensuring safety of citizens and imposing censorship. when launch forestman comes forward and does what line forestman should buy, trying to protect the consumer to make sure that your data, your information are not being used or stolen? that's a good thing. if that's what government does. if that's what government does. if it comes in to shut down a platform or a means of expression that it finds problematic or it finds to be not consistent with the government message, that's a different story. then that becomes censorship. you've got to have and develop an allergy for when ever any intelligence law enforcement anywhere comes in and looks out for you looks out for you to make sure you don't get. and

here's the most important disinformation misinformation. we don't want you to get the wrong information. we want to protect you, because after all, that's dangerous. that's all for now, richard, to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates was the right back here at the top of the hour. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even from taishan, let it be an arms race is on offensive, very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

ah, in 2014 t village. the so called counter terrorist operation against ukraine. se regions that had refused to recognize the code. over the years. ukrainian troops committed thousands of crimes, many of which have no statute of limitations with you will want to show you or you did it in a want to work
