for a a a ukrainian president backtrack on his claim that a russian missile fell on a polish village. now saying he can't be sure what happened that does he have classes with western allies over the details of the incident? $11800000000.00 is going to assistance, including for direct budget support. the question is, is ukraine. now the 51st state of the united states of america, republican, fledge and audited financial assistance, sent to craig as the party is that to take control of the house of representatives . the members say every cent al, located, dickie. yeah. will be scrutinized. if you suffer,

come climate related migration and displacement federally become a way of life. despite the whole country only a mixing 0 point one percent of global emissions. the people pay a heavy price. i've called 27 wrapped up. we explore how plenty of promises but little concrete action we've african states face to face with the climate emergency and a biased and politically motivated verdict against russia. that's moscow reaction or the hag decision, which found 3 suspects, including 2 russian guilty in the 2014 accidental downing a flight em age 17 with from luck out of the world. this is r t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. the ukranian president now

says he's not 100 percent. sure. if the missile, which killed 2 polish citizens on tuesday was russian or sharp contrast to his previous statements, calling for a collective western response. sure. oh boy. so i don't know what happened this time. we don't know 100 percent. i think the world also does know what happened on present in that situation. we have to be fair and honest until the investigation is over. skied. good. how many times, as you claim said that the actions of the terrorist state, i'm not limited to our country alone, pissing nato territory with miss isles. this is a russian missile attack on collective security. but this is a really significant escalation. action is needed, crane and it's american allies are allegedly clashing over the deadly missile incident in poland. reports have emerged that biden's national security advisor asked ukraine and officials to tread carefully with their accusations. the u. s.

president reportedly refused to speak with zalinski following the incident, despite the ukrainian leaders repeated request. here is how by then responded when asked about kiana's version of events. with on tuesday, a missile landed in a polish village near the ukrainian border, killing 2 locals. within ours, a number of polish and ukrainian government officials, including zelinski, claimed the rocket belong to moscow. warsaw later conceded that the rock it was likely a ukrainian air defense missile that went astray. a position that has also been echoed by nato and washington. although an official investigation is still under way, a ukrainian presidential adviser has tried to put a positive spin on the story, saying it should encourage nato to be tougher on moscow asking the country's allies

to provide more air defense systems. however, kia has been excluded from participating and official investigations, and anonymous nato source told the financial times that their confidence has been diminished. 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, 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 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 poem should rethink its stance towards ukraine after the deadline. missile incident, that's according to the former mayor of the polish city of loveland who ad so the cases a provocation 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 fired 100 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 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 ad dedicated to the process of trying to drive natal on european countries into this war. and there's, there is a form of what not formal, there is a brinkman ship being played on the part of the ukrainian military authorities and government. but quite frankly is a dangerous situation to how europe, in it has been clear from salt and. busy position that this is not being treated the way the ukrainian government would like to be treated. but there is also the thea, but elements within nato may wish for this to be treated exactly as a provocation. and there's a reason for natal involvement. so whether it has been an accidental suffer, what's going all the time, the or the, the may have heard the made of liberal has said it has been fire deliberately in

the wrong direction. then both to the same thing, you know, ultimately a provocation on the part of ukraine. the white house has hit back at the republicans after the g o. p. 's pledge to probe jo biden's involvement and his son hunters foreign business dealings r t corresponding caleb mob has the story. so it appears that now the republicans are taking up the role the democrats once held. 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 joe bud. and we already have evidence that would point that joe biden was involved with hunter biden illnesses. so we will 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. we're funding ukraine's budget with with trauma, $11800000000.00 is going to assistance, including for direct budget support. the question is, is ukraine now the 51st state of the united states of america? and what position does the lensky have in our government? this is outrageous, and the american people deserve answers. the reality is that many of the weapons intended by the united states for the ukrainian military have 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 poured into your brain from the united states as well. so it seems that these questions 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 biden administration, and it's congressional allies when it came to writing these 1000000000 and billions and billions of dollars to checks to ukraine, it's high time to stop sending any more money. don't send another penny to the ukraine and to start auditing where the money went. 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. the call for the audit comes, as the u. s. has already spent nearly $55000000000.00 on a ukraine this year. and biden is now asking congress for an additional $37000000000.00. that's 20 percent more than russia, the entire annual defense budget. and the same us congress will much margery taylor green has a lashed out at washington's funding of ukraine after multiple countries. acknowledge

it with key f, who is responsible for the polen missile incident. we must stop letting the lance teach him on money and weapons from us. stopped spares while he's trying to drug as into world war 3. no more money to ukraine. it's time to end this war and demand peace. meanwhile, in a bid to reassure americans on the threat of a nuclear conflict, the us secretary of homeland security release. 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. we spoke to us veteran karen, quite kowalski, who said washington's policy towards ukraine is primarily driven by business interest the united states. so defense establishment is making a lot of money, you know, do 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, have benefits, a 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 january, many of them do not see the benefit of conducting this proxy war and funding this proxy war in 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.

russia has accused the higgs court of bias saying it's a verdict on the m h. 17 plain disaster is a 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. the dutch court sentence 3 people to life in prison in absentia for the unintentional downing of the plane, which was shot down over the darn bass back in 2014. the suspects to russians and one ukrainian have denied their involvement of worth defendant or russian national

has been acquitted. here's how the court described the decision. there is none 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 . you still the essence of this 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 service. however, the prosecutor's office has also carried out its own investigation. and has confirmed that the origin of the materials provided, the court concluded that flight mh 17 crash a few hours after the take off after being hit by a russians applied missile. almost 300 people on board were killed. those convicted will now need to pay over $16000000.00 euros to the victims families. the attorney in the acquitted, defend. it 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 still the problem of this summary verdict. so 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, i'm sure, let's say our arguments in our views and please on those aspects the findings of a further investigation into the m age. 17 tragedy are expected to be announced next year, independent dutch journalists, sonya vanden, 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 malaysian part that was not allowed even to go to the place of the accident later on they were allowed smith.

yeah, it was to be expected to show a trial. it would be liked it, and i think it's our president in just that you received that just ignore defects and this is what they are doing. the radar evidence wasn't ever taking into account . it was never taken as a piece of evidence also, if they didn't take into account, did it actually wasn't ukrainian defect matters. what was found at the wreckage, where the numbers open, ukrainian, buck, 7379. so actually, you know, it's ukrainian good fella. so straight away they blamed russia, russia it is, and this is actually, so i think this whole trial is candy shoot. start. we've hold pieces of evidence to have from both sides. and then we can speak about a real sad trial. and this is not, haven't the 27th annual un climate meaning cop 27

is wrapping up as its biggest 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 angio break free from plastic pollution. my coca cola has increased 63 percent since 2021 each year. the angio collect plastic waste produced globally by industry from the variety of environments, and in more 2020, to more than 31000 coca cola branded products were found. the results con, as experts at the cop $27.00 voice concerns over pollution, devastating bio diversity and the lack of african engagement on the global agenda. no proclaim gauge meant, 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 into perusal of africa. so the problem is just broad that we are not being

properly engaged on that. the solutions that i actually i happening on the ground. we see that plastic pollution already impacting out by diversity on the oceans because our faces are starting to eat the plastics and i thought like they're stuck on like in a plastic and then they die. i and also like it's becoming like a pollution to the water in 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 the despite western declarations on carbon neutrality and environmental protection. it still allows us companies to explain natural sources further damaging the environment for so many times loop and countries of allow the companies to come in. now countries and exploit as 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 shoe ailing 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 some country companies promised to freeze out promised 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 staying with the cock $27.00 summit, the global gathering saw a lot sad about the need to jointly address issues on the african continent where millions are battling the devastating effects of climate change. the global community needs to put people most affected by climate change at the center of our

interventions. housing and climate change are inextricably linked, failing to establish integrated policies and systems, risks the health and well being of the world's most vulnerable populations. however, it seems like promises and calls the action or nothing but pipe dreams. as african countries continue suffering mass, human displacement, or result of the climate change shaking the continent, artes corolla has more. africa is the fastest organizing region in the world. and it's 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 level in slum housing in africa. this as more people look to cities for opportunity. but south africa's land and migration issue . some might say, influenced by a hint of colonialism. we are constructively,

softly pushed away from the cities because of our color, i guess because of our own social economic background. so that is very disappointing, that there is no transformation in as far as the special colonial. i parted, 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 for have this. what has guessed at the end, 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 isn't combined with all of those other socio economic factors. and so that's why it's really complicated to be able to say

exactly how many people are moving and why. according to the internal displacement monitoring center. 20212.6000000 people 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 lifestyles 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 and patterns in the years ahead. and we need to start addressing and thinking forward about what it means to adapt to our changed environment in east africa. climate related migration and displacement have steadily become

a way of life. despite the hon. countries only emitting 0 point one percent of global emissions. the people pay a heavy price loss and damage is a controversial term that climate change talks in egypt. developing countries, 12, 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 in 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, 6 jackson responsibility. and right now we're talking about, you know, the global, how to add a teaching 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 schuman settlements, and head mutates, should not only be the concern of the few goblins has have a lot of tea. in johannesburg, the british government has walk the sale of the country's largest semiconductor plant 2 chinese own next barriers, 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 barrier. we'll have to sell 86 percent of it shares despite the chinese government saving the company from bankruptcy back in 2019. but says, and pete's view links to the communist party as a threat. hundreds of people will have to find new jobs. we're genuinely shocked the decision is wrong, and we will appeal to overturn this divestment order to protect the over $500.00 jobs at newport. we spoke to the director of european studies at redman university, who thinks the decision is not in london, economic interest, bullets desire to comply with us foreign policy. they say political interference of that market, at least of $500.00 jobs that they lose. and also for the for the british companies. competitive advantage also in danger. and also damage to the

investment environment for you. okay. put it off of the bread seats. you'll have to be very neat china, maybe india market to replace it with a single market. you're paying units. 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 ships and semi conductor, and then the force or the allies of the 5 ice allies to follow this law. so it doesn't even your case, not dependent, no sacrifice than the economy interests to serfs for the americans. national security for pakistani prime minister in man con, continues to demand fresh election. he is leaving

a march with plans to reach the capital of pakistan by saturday. a local journalist tells us more from the scene. hi, emily file modify mr. i'm con, as in, i was just on us to do reach islam abroad on 19 optimum, but we are in but caleb, my like i don't see a i'll fall pakistan. and these one supporters of feminine con, are sending in there, and they have with the other hands. and they have promised to join the 10s of thousands of protesters jeopardize islam. i bought this jobs chrome and the supporters often been con. i'd been branding, tomas, but his law was also humor on con, is honest, truthful and doesn't lie. that is why we like him. well, how many here? he said, yes, that was american conspiracy to oust emron con. how can i explain? look, they sent dollars here and by our rulers,

especially those who sell their conscious, they have bought many, but this fraud will no longer continue, god willing, we will fight with them on their own a. how do we do the us change? any government which rises against the u. s. the case of pakistan is the same. they removed imran khan government because he is a true leader who refused to give military bases to them. we have seen on the state, there's a picture of him on convoy ad though he has not noticed. lay about this to the support of my desire time. what i said is it is to women is one of the camping promise of his ad. and now these forecasts automatic would be marching in couple of days. bruce law modified as long as the demand for 3 prayer and oddly elections, by august funded on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit, china's president gave his canadian counterpart a dressing down on diplomatic manners after guessing trudeau allegedly leave the

details of an informal discussion between the 2 leaders to the canadian media. oh, everything with the whole the, with the cheerleaders recently engaged in the 1st high level talks between the countries and 5 years. i, chinese foreign ministry spokesperson play down the incident saying it should not

be viewed as criticism. adding that beijing supported such frank exchanges as long as they took place on an equal basis. when suki did, he did, he mentioned was indeed a short conversation. both lead his health during the g 20 summit. this is very normal. i don't think it should be interpreted as chairman c criticizing or accusing anyone actual people need. the answer then comes months after a similar exchange between moscow in paris. when the french president leaked the contents of a confidential car with vladimir putin to western media, russian foreign minister survey lab rav criticize the move thing. diplomatic ethics had been ignored in india based strategic affairs expert told us that justin trudeau had potentially undermined any future dialogue. with china. oh, why just do me speak of those 3 unfair i log on only to stand up for disability. but in the all narrative in the public that it did seem like chinese,

i thought him a lesson normally during multi lateral summit, we do not see such heated exchange. and certainly it was embarrassing. and can i go to the extent of saying, very embarrassing or justin to go to be confronted? and in fact, you know, almost school, this publicly front of cameras. i would say that's leaking up. such information might be found into your domestic audience, your domestic supporters, et cetera in canada. but in the international based system, in the international or diplomacy, it sends out the wrong message. and that's why i think the chinese are unhappy. they wanted a beginning off or robust dialogue and communication between canada and china. finally off the years as you pointed out. but it doesn't seem like that it is going in that direction. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see right back here at.
