whole, i mean with a biased and politically motivated verdict against russia, that's moscow's reaction to the head decision, which found 3 suspects including 2 russians guilty in the 2014 accidental downing up light mh 17th republicans bludgeon audited financial assistance, sent to ukraine as the party is set to take control of the house of representatives . some members say every son allocated to kiev will be scrutinized. of our polish mayor calls the missile crash in the countries east or your premium provocation to drum up for weapons supplies. while he still maintains it had nothing to do with the incident

with lost out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the programmer. we begin with the ruling in the case of the m age, 17 plain disaster, or dutch court has sentence 3 people to life in prison in absentia, for the unintentional downing of the plane, which were shot down over the don bass back in 2014 those aspects to russians and when ukrainian have denied their involvement, a 4th defendant or russian national has been acquitted. here's how the court described its decision is not one of them. and you see the defense presented as an argument that the prosecutor's office has a constantly one sided view which has been upheld throughout the entire investigation. useful. the essence of the defense line is that the prosecutor's office has adopted the point of view of the ukrainian special services from that

point is that the prosecutor received many materials from ukraine security services . however, the prosecutor's office has also carried out its own investigation and has confirmed the origin of the materials provided. that was the judge reading some of the reasoning behind the acquittal of the 4th suspect in this trial of russian citizen. and he was acquitted because there wasn't enough evidence to link him to the deployment of the massage, or that he could have done anything to prevent it. when we have the other suspects, we have to russian citizens and one ukrainian and they were convicted of murder and for kaufman aircraft crash. there was senses in fancy or life imprisonment and ordered to pay 16000000 euros to the families of the victims. the court found that i made 17, was brought down by a russian made missile that was fired from a form field, a bit of a mice in eastern ukraine. and that those 3,

the russians and one ukrainians were responsible for transporting the message from allegedly, a military base in russia, ukraine, and then back after the tragedy. according to the judge, all intercepted conversations between the suspects are legitimate. however, they cannot prove that this was a coordinated effort that they work this part of a team. and also it's clear who pulled the trigger if you will. they don't know that. and there is no evidence pointing to either one of the 3 men that they have convicted. the suspects have 2 weeks. the convicted, i should say, now have 2 weeks to file an appeal. we'll see if they do that. but what's interesting is that the said that this is not a case of an international conflict. we've already seen some experts come out and say that there was surprised rushes, a legit roll. and this was downplayed, which is what they saw. they thought that their response from the have,

the verdict would be much harsher, and definitely that did not expect that we would see any russian citizens acquitted . so here we have at least one the attorney of the acquitted defendant and says he wants to know why not all of the wreckage from the aircraft was analyzed by western investigators. it was not taken into account by the court, but we don't know why. and that's the problem of this summary vertical to say. therefore, we have to read the whole verdict in writing, but i'm very anxious to know why our, our arguments were not followed by the court. and the problem is that didn't answer, let's say our arguments in our views, and please, on those aspects russia, foreign ministry has slammed the dutch court judgment, calling it biased and politically motivated ruling against moscow. in passing its judgment, the court preferred to ignore the fact that all the conclusions of the dutch prosecutor's office are based on the testimony of anonymous witnesses,

whose identities are classified as well as on information of dubious origin and materials transmitted from the interested party. the s b u, which has been repeatedly convicted of providing false contradictory information. we deeply regret that the district court of the hague has neglected the principles of impartial justice in favor of the current political situation, thereby dealing a serious reputational blow to the entire judicial system of the netherlands. independent, doug's journalists, sonya divan then and believes that the trials, lack of objectivity and accuracy, is unprecedented in dutch legal history. it was a show trial because 1st of all, they did not really do a thoroughly investigation in the beginning, and the malays required that was not allowed even to go to the place of the accident later on. they were allowed to, but yeah, it was to be expected. did this show a trial? is it really would be like, did, and i think it to unprecedented in just that you restriction that just ignore

defects. and this is what they are doing. the radar evidence was never taking into account. it was never at taken as a piece of evidence. also. it just they didn't take into account and it actually wasn't ukrainian defect matters. what was found at the wreckage, where the numbers of them ukrainian barbara 7379. so actually, you know, it's ukrainian and good fella. so as straight away they blamed russia, russia it is, and that's it actually. so i think this whole trial is candy shoot. start with all the pieces of evidence they have from both sides. and then you can speak about a real fair trial and this is not, haven't nancy pelosi has announced she will not be running for reelection as a leader of the house. democrats. that's after republicans won the house majority in the mid term elections. and with great confidence in our caucus,

i will not seek re election to democratic leadership in the next congress for may the hours come for a new generation to lead the democratic caucus that i so deeply respect. so at this point we have republicans taking control of the us house of representatives. nancy pelosi will no longer be the speaker of the house. and she's also stepping down from leadership of her on party. ringback will be in the minority. so it appears that now the republicans are taking up the role, the democrats once al. and now the biden administration may be subject to the kinds of investigation and scrutiny to which democrats held trump. this is what they said . our investigation is about jo, bud and we already have evidence that would point that joe biden was involved with hunter biden, only so, so we won't the bank records, and that's our, that's our focus. we're trying to stay focused on was joe biden directly involved

with hunter biden's business deals, and is he compromised? that's our investigation. marjorie taylor green, a prominent congressional republican raised the issue of ukraine and the billions of dollars sent there by the biden administration. she said, it seems like ukraine is more of a priority than the united states, and perhaps almost, you grand seems like the 51st state of the country rapp zalinski seems to be a high ranking u. s. official, but she says she wants answers about all the money that has gone to ukraine. over the past year. i'm calling for an audit of every single penny that has been sent to ukraine, including aid money and any other monies that have been given to the ukrainian government to defend their national security, where our, our national security has been ignored. the reality is that many of the weapons intended by the united states, where the ukrainian military gone directly into the hands of terrorists and

criminal organizations. some of them have simply been sold on the black market. and other questions are being raised about the money that is bored into your brain from the united states as well. so it seems that the question may be taken up by republicans for congressional investigations, as they take control of the house of representatives. there is an interest in seeing where some of these funds have gone, and if there was in the foul play by the, by the ministration and it's congressional allies, when it came to writing these bb and billions of dollars to check to ukraine. so it'll be interesting to see how the u. s. congress proceeds. and what turns up in any potential investigation with republicans back in control of the house of representatives i ukrainian presidential advisor is trying to put a positive spin on the incident that saw a missile land and pulling killing to people. he's continuing to defy global opinion by claiming that russia and not ukraine was responsible and stressing the

incident, should encourage nato to be tougher on russia. i think this is a good story within the framework of which we will once again discuss the format of our relations with our partners to avoid any ambiguity. this will allow nato countries to develop a tougher attitude in terms of protecting that territory. this is not the 1st time when a rocket has flown into the territory of another country. accordingly, the war in ukraine in such a large country of course, will affect the territories of other countries. meanwhile, president landscape is urging ukrainian specialist to participate in an international probe into what he called quote russian aggression on the polish border doubling down on claims that moscow was responsible for the missile incident . young this celeste thomas, i have no doubt about the reports and the command with the air force and commander in chief. i lose me that it was not our missile and not our missile strike. i have

no reason not to trust them because i've been through this whole war with them. i believe this is a russian missile based on our military reports. stuff couple, well it's definitely an interesting story because most of key halves biggest supporters. i mean, we're talking about you at the u. s. nato. poland itself are all saying that the evidence points to ukraine in terms of who owns that rocket that landed on polish territory and killed 2 polish people and still lottery lensky is clinging on to this narrative that russia launched the missile, despite the fact that nobody is blaming he have a for being at fault here. the west is still incorrectly claiming that russia it was the initial aggressor in the ukrainian conflict. and so somehow they're still saying it's moscow's fault, but at any rate keeps basically stubborn. clinging to this rejection of the facts, it's really frustrated. a lot of people in the west, even one diplomat from a nato country, reportedly told the financial times that this is really hurting the west's

confidence in the key averaging. this is getting ridiculous. the ukrainians are destroying our confidence in them. nobody is blaming ukraine and they are openly lying. this is more destructive than the missile. now, one might be able to understand why it wouldn't be easy for key of to back track on this at this point. because when this actually happened, just moments after we got wind of this incident, we heard from ukraine's foreign minister, who said that it was a const, a russian conspiracy theory to say that that missile was launched from a ukrainian missile defense system, that it was a ukrainian missile and then after that zalinski actually called for action to be taken in against russia for all this as if he was ready to bring every one into a potential 3rd world war over all this. and again, those statements were made immediately after we got wind of this incident before the facts were established, but they've been established now and key of still not going back on that. the most

shocking of all of these events happened back in march of this year when a, an, an unidentified drone actually flew through the air space of to nato countries, only to crash in the capital of croatia after running out of fuel. it was later determined that this was launched from ukraine and that was definitely confusing for the croatian president as well because nobody was actually hurt as a result of this. but also nobody noticed that it was flying through that air space . so the croatian president was very confused about that and also mentioned that it was launched from ukraine. let's take listen to what he said. how was it possible for an old style aircraft to spend more than one hour in the sky over nato member countries and no one notices it. the situation is that the u. a. v flew from the territory of ukraine and crashed in zagreb when the fuel ran out of it is also the issue of ukrainian under sea mines in the black sea because around the same time as this correlation incident, we were getting reports that turkey had begun to find

a number of ukrainian under sea mines that had become dislodged and started floating away. you can imagine how dangerous this could possibly be. for all the sea traffic there is in the boss for a straight or the mediterranean sea. this is something that even russia's ministry defense warned about as well because of the, the amount of storms that are there. and the fact that storms can dislodge these underwater mines. so, but what's even more interesting is that the key of regime is not facing any consequences for any of this. i mean, it really, it really seems like the west has freighted a monster, basically by the endless flow of weapons and money into ukraine and the state there just doesn't seem like it wants to follow anyone's rules. political scientists, an international security expert marks. the bonus says that he adds the refusal to admit responsibility for the missile incident could backfire on its 1st for more western support. and this is incredibly destructive to the key of regimes

propaganda. because here we see them being directly contradicted and doubling down on the lie in the face of even the u. s. president himself saying otherwise, i think that this is not so much them are trying to break free as reacting petulantly as a child confused. because they have become used to an expectant that whatever absurd a lie that they claim blaming russia will be backed up by them. um, as if it's god's honest truth, no matter the situation. but here we see with a, a direct potential ward war 3 sparking event with a missile landing and a nato member that they walked back from that polling shad rethink at stance towards the crane after the deadline. nestle incident that's according to the former mayor of the polish city of la glenn, who adds that the case is

a problem cation aimed at boosting. further military aim to kiev. of course, this is a ukrainian rocket. of course, this is a provocation on the part of the ukranian authorities. the rocket could not be 5100 kilometers in the opposite direction by mistake. the purpose of the provocation is to accelerate the supply of weapons to ukraine, to intimidate europe with a terrible russia. so that civil society demands an increase in assistance the ukraine from the governments of european countries. we have seen a ukrainian regime and dedicated to this process of trying to dr. natal and see european countries into this war. and there, there is a form of, well not form of there is a brinkman ship being played on the part of the ukrainian military authorities and its government. but quite frankly, is a dangerous situation to how europe, in, it has been clear from salt and bergs position that this is not being, you know,

treated her the way the ukrainian government would like to be treated. but there is also the fee of elements within natal may wish for this to be treated exactly as a provocation. and as a reason for fodder, you know. ready natal involvement, so whether it has been alex, a dental se, right, that's gone or target or it. hans, as the the mayor has the made of movement has said it has been filed deliberately in the wrong direction then both amount to the same thing in. ready ultimately, a provocation on the part of ukraine or u. s. congresswoman has lashed out of the countries funding of ukraine after worldwide acknowledgement that it was key as it was responsible for the pulling missile incident. we must stop letting zalinski demand money, and weapons from us that spares while he's trying to drug us into world war 3. no

more money to ukraine. it's time to end this war and demand peace. meanwhile, and embed to reassure americans on the threat of a nuclear complex, the us secretary of homeland security released this statement. while the united states has express concern with russia, nuclear saber rattling, we do not anticipate that a nuclear detonation in europe would have any direct health consequences on the homeland. the u. s. has already spend nearly 55000000 dollars on age ukraine in 2022. and by then is now asking congress for an additional $37000000000.00. that's 20 percent more than russia's entire annual defense budget. we spoke to us veteran karen, quite koski, who said that washington's policy towards ukraine is primarily driven by business interest. the united states defense establishment is making a lot of money you know,

through via the american taxpayer. in depleting all of our reserves, old weapons sending them to ukraine, that freeze up production lines for more of what we want. and then of course, justifies demand to the congress that our own budget, our own military budget can be increased. so this is something that i think benefits, it's viewed by american government, people, as you know, it benefits it, benefits america, not in the way that we think of a war. but just in the way we think of a business military business. the next house of representatives that will be sworn in in january. many of them do not see the benefit of conducting this proxy war and funding this proxy war and ukraine. it's very clear that we don't have the resources to throw away anywhere and certainly not to conduct a proxy war that has no real benefit to the security of americans.

as the cog $27.00 summit continues its largest sponsor, coca cola has won the title of worlds biggest plastic polluter for the 5th year in a row, according to a brand audit by the end. yo break free from plastic pollution by coca cola has increased 63 percent since 2021 each year. the angio collect plastic waste produced globally by industry from a variety of environments anywhere but in the garbage where it belongs, and in 2022 more than $31000.00 coca cola brand products were found. the results come as experts out the cop $27.00 summit voice concerns over pollution. devastating biodiversity and a lack of african engagement on the global agenda. no, proclaimed easement. well how do you feel about incineration? how do we feel about that? that the problems of plastic and the solutions are not coming from a series. the solutions are coming from ural and you can compare some issues of

europe and to produce of all of, of africa. so the problem is just broad that we are not being properly engaged on the, the solutions that are actually happening on the ground. we see that plastic pollution already impacting our by diversity on the oceans because our faces are starting to eat the plastics and also like they're stuck on like in a plastic and then they die. i can also like it's becoming like a pollution to the water in the oceans and also like a plastic like on atlanta as well. so that's a lot of like, you know, i challenges with the plastic. we spoke to a climate activist who says that despite western declarations on carbon neutrality and environmental protection, it still allows companies to exploit natural sources further damaging the environment. for so many times lupe young countries of allow the companies

to come in. now countries and nick spray doesn't many populations and companies from western world have been promising to he done it to the target by 2030. but today we are seeing towel swearing over 62 percent of the new paper and that is go drop in uganda and it won't last for 20 years. so these kind of projects and whenever they are being supported by the western world, we feel like disappointed, we feel like it is a ppo chrissy whereby we are putting our people in danger because this sim country companies promised to freeze out promise to heat, then it is a target by 20 that at the same time they are in they likely few wedding force you for a project. east african countries are suffering mast, human displacement as the effects of climate change shape the continent with millions of people left homeless and uncertain of their future artes corolla has

more africa is the fastest urban ising region in the world and its cities are expanding because of migration and extreme weather events, according to research by the brookings institution, 56 percent of urban residents. that's double the global average. live in slum housing in africa. this as more people look to cities for opportunity. but south africa's land and migration issue. some might be influenced by a hint of colonialism. we are constructively, softly pushed away from the city is because of our color, i guess, because of our own social economic background or that is very disappointing, that there is no transformation in as far as the special colonial property planning is concerned. according to the state of climate in africa report,

the continent is heating up faster than the global average. that means more widespread drought. poor have this. what is guess city and extreme weather events. but climate change is also a fragility amplifier and it can easily make a situation worse. if you're looking at, you know, slow set onset climate impacts, like, you know, just verification or drought that is going to combine with all of those other socio economic factors in the empire. so that's why it's really complicated to say exactly how many people are moving and why. according to the internal displacement monitoring center. 20212.6000000 people. busy were displaced in sub saharan africa due to weather related disaster. and the well bang for the existing could be as much as 85000000 in the same region by the year 2050. all of the evidence suggests that we're going to see more of these kinds of extreme weather events. but

what's really important is at this point, of course to try to address those root causes as much as we can to make the climate changes or the changes in our production and our lifestyle that we need to. but really to accept that somalia, ethiopia can yesterday and are unlikely to change or be able to change their kind of weather patterns in the years ahead. and we need to start addressing and thinking forward about what it means to adapt to our changed environment. loss and damage is a controversial term at that time at change talks in egypt, developing countries, one to as that bullish liability and compensation for their bio diversity laws from the emissions of rich countries. rich countries are refusing, clutching on to the emissions lead and profits while evading liability at all costs . so what is the climate justice thing talk about?

if we think about why we see poverty and inequality across the african continent, much of that is also due to the historical historical debt owed by those very same countries who colonized these areas and who have created those systems which are so fundamentally unequal. i think you see a lot of reluctance from the wealthy countries because it, you know, suggests of responsibility. and right now we're talking about, you know, the global out of adaptation goal, which is a 100000000000 annually. or, you know, that's, that's what we're looking to finance. but if you start to look at responsibility down the line, you could be looking actually in a climate change is truly a universal issue. then human settlements and habitats should not only be the concern of the few, got a lot of t and join is back. ah,

the british government has blocked the sale of the country's largest semiconductor plant, 2 chinese o next barrier citing national security concerns. today ive issued a final order under the n s i act requiring next peria to sell at least 86 percent of new port wafer fab. we welcome foreign trade and investment that supports growth and jobs. but where we identify a risk to national security, we will act decisively. next, buria will have to sell 86 percent of its shares despite the chinese government saving the company from bankruptcy in 2019. but since and peace, few links to the communist party as a thread, hundreds of people will have to find new jobs. we spoke to the director of european studies at redman university, who thinks the decision is not in london's economic interest, but its desire to comply with us foreign policy. they say political

interference of the month page, at least in a $500.00 a job. so that be loose and also for that for the british companies. competitive advantage also in danger and also damage to the investment to environment for you. okay. put it off of the bread seats. you'll k ought to be very neat. china, maybe india market to replace it with a single market that you're paying you need. so those behavior actually is on their fire to the oil turned on you, okay. relation because you, okay, so 5 eyes, airlines of united states when the u. s. puts a lot of chips and semi conductor and then the force or the allies of the allies to follow this law. so it doesn't even your case, not dependent,

no sacrifice that the economy interests to serfs for the american national security . last all for now be sure to check out our t v dot com for all of the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at the top of the hour. ah, ah, when i was shown seemed wrong when old joe don't hold any new world. that is to say, proud disdain becomes the advocate an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

ah mm hm. my down 2014, neo nazis roy's to power. the extermination of ukraine's russian speaking population, ideas of confrontation between 2 ideologies. and as a consequence, the start of russia's special military operation.
