ah, ah, a with the ukranian president backtracks on his claim that a russian missile fell on a polish village now saying he can't be sure what happened that does it clashes with western allies over the details of the incident with $11800000.00 is going to assistance including for direct budget support. the question is, is ukraine now the 51st state of the united states of america group holligan's pledged account every set of financial aid allocated to keep that as the party prepared and taken to the house of representatives. in east africa,

climate related migration and displacement have steadily become a way of life. despite the horn countries only a missing 0 point one percent of global admissions. the people pay a heavy price, has called $27.00 wraps up. we explore how plenty of promises, little concrete action we've african states face to face with the climate emergency and a biased and politically motivated verdict against russia that moscow's reaction to the health of birth on the n 7 team plane downing a month down to the world this is our international. i'm ritual blevins here with the top stories at the hour. welcome to the program. the ukranian president now says he's not 100 percent. sure. if the missile, which go to polish citizens on tuesday was russian or sharp contrast to his
12:02 am
previous statements calling for a collective western response. sure. oh boy, i don't know what happened this time. we don't know 100 percent. i think the world also does know what happened and present in that situation. we have to be fair and honest, until the investigation is over, skid as you, how many times as you claim said that the actions of the terrorist state will not be limited to our country alone, hitting nato territory with miss isles. this is a russian missile attack on collective security, but this is a really significant escalation. action is needed. this comes as ukraine clash with its western allies in a rare public rift over the deadly missile incident in poland. reports have emerged that bite is national security advisor asked ukrainian officials to tread carefully with their accusations. the u. s. president reportedly refused to speak with
12:03 am
zalinski following the incident, despite the ukrainian leaders repeated requests. and here's how biden responded when asked about key abs version of events. with on tuesday, a missile landed and a polish village near the ukrainian border, killing 2 locals. within hours, a number of polish and ukrainian government officials, including zelinski claim, the rocket belong to moscow. warsaw later conceded the rock. it was likely a ukrainian air defense missile that one astray, a position that has also been echoed by nato and washington. although an official investigation is still under way. i ukrainian presidential advisor 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,
12:04 am
key as has been excluded from participating in official investigations and anonymous nato source, told the financial times the western confidence and he had had been undermined. 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 to lie that they claim blaming russia will be backed up by them. um,
12:05 am
as if it's god's honest truth, no matter the situation. but here we see with a direct potential ward war 3 sparking event with a missile landing and a nato member that, that they walked back from that poem should re think it stands towards the ukraine after the deadline missile incident. that's according to the former mayor of the polish city of lublin, who adds that the case is a provocation, aimed at boosting further military aid to key. as 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 without terrible russia. so that civil society demands an increase in assistance, the grain from the governments of european countries. we have seen a ukrainian regime ad dedicated to this process of trying to drive natal on
12:06 am
the european countries into this war. and there's that is a form of 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 salton bergs position that this is not being treated the way the ukrainian government would like to be treated. but there is also the fear of the elements within natal may wish for this to be treated exactly as a provocation. and as a reason for further. ready natal involvement, so whether it has been an accidental surface to air straight that's going off time to or, or the that may have had the made of mobile has said it has been by a deliberately in the wrong direction then both to the same thing. ready ultimately,
12:07 am
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 are key. correspondent 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 investigations 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,
12:08 am
a prominent congressional republican raised the issue of ukraine, 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 ukraine 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 those funds have gone. and if there was in the foul play by
12:09 am
the biden administration, and it's congressional allies when it came to writing these $1000000000.00 and billions of dollars to checks to ukraine, it's high time to stop sending any more money. don't send another penny to 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 team crane this year with $37000000000.00 and additional help requested by the bite ministration from congress. that's 20 percent more than russia's entire annual defense budget. and the same us congress woman marjorie taylor, greene has a lashed out at washington's funding of ukraine after multiple countries acknowledged it with key at who was responsible for the poland missile incident.
12:10 am
we more stop letting the lance to jim on money and weapons from us taxpayers 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. and while some officials are signing the alarm over crossing in point of no return, the country homeland security chief is apparently trying to calm down nuclear concerns saying the us is out of the geographical range of attack. while the united states has express concern with russian 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 defense establishment is making a lot of money you know, through via the american taxpayer. in depleting all of our reserves,
12:11 am
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 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. the 27 annual un climate meaning cock 27 is wrapping up. as the global gathering
12:12 am
saw, a lot said 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 to action or nothing but pipe dreams. as african countries continue suffering mass human to displacement a result of climate change. crisis that is sweeping the continent. parties, corolla has more africa is the fastest urban izing region in the world. and its cities are expanding because of migration and extreme weather events . according to research by the brookings institution,
12:13 am
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 issues, some might say, influenced by a hint of colonialism. we are constructively softly pushed away from the city is because 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 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 for have what has guess and t and extreme weather events. but climate change is also a fragility amplifier and it can easily make
12:14 am
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, able to say exactly how many people are moving and why. according to the internal displacement monitoring center 20212600000 people were displaced in sub saharan africa due to weather related disaster. all of the evidence suggests that we're going to see more of these kind of extreme weather events. but what's really important is at this point, of course to try to address those root cause 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 are unlikely to change or be able to change their kind of
12:15 am
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 suddenly become a way of life. despite the han countries only emitting 0 point one percent of global emissions, the people pay a heavy price. loss and damage is a controversial term at the time had changed, talks in egypt, developing countries, one to establish liability and compensation for their bio diversity laws from the emissions of rich countries. rich countries are refusing, clutching on to the emissions laid, and profits while evading liability at all costs. so what is the climate justice they talk about? if we think about why we see poverty in inequality,
12:16 am
across african continent, much of that is also due to the historical i, 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 than human settlements. and habitats should not only be the concern of the few global issues, a lot of t enjoin is back. meanwhile, in kenya, local environmental as and farmers have criticize the british armies use of white phosphorus during military drills. the u. k. military though,
12:17 am
has defended the use of the hazardous weapon. farmers are sounding an alarm over strange smoke coming from a u. k. military base, fearing the chemical may of affected their cavil's health. in response, the u. k. military defense, the use of white phosphorus, claiming that drills are carried out under strict safety precautions. here's what locals had to say. bondo i am. my animals completely lost the eye sight after the smoke appeared and i think it was chemical that affect them with this coughing ally. and then some of them died. you sequencing medical, your highly. my council died as a result until the com, full chemical intoxication. i'm sure that it was the white pulse for us, which was produced during the mill through drills the animals to him blind and later died. this hoses, a huge problem to me would ins have such issues before to sub for russia has accused the higgs court of bias saying it's verdict on the m
12:18 am
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 don bass back in 2014 those aspects to russians. and when ukrainian have denied their involvement of worth defendant, a russian national has been acquitted. here is how the court described its decision
12:19 am
. is none of them. you see the to 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 from the court concluded that flight and made 17 crash a few hours after take off after being hit by russians applied in missile. however, just as did not directly linked this strike with russia, almost 300 people on board were killed. those convicted will now need to pay over $60000000.00 euros to the victims families. the attorney of the acquitted defendant says he wants to know why not all of the wreckage from the aircraft was analyzed by
12:20 am
western investigators. it was not taken into account by the court, but we don't know why. and that's 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 on sure, let's say our arguments in our views and please on, on those aspects. the findings of a further investigation into the image. 17 tragedy are expected to be announced next year. independent dutch journalists, sonya van den, and believes that the trials and lack of objectivity and accuracy is unprecedented in depth 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 this show
12:21 am
a trial it can be like did. and the unprecedented in just that you receive that use to 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 often ukrainian barbara 7379. so actually, you know, it's in ukrainian and fella. so as straight away they blamed russia, russia, and it is. and that's it actually. so i think this whole trial is candy shoot, start with old pieces of evidence they have from both sides. and then you can speak about a real fair trial. and this is not, haven't the british government has blocked the sale of the country's largest

semiconductor plant to chinese o. next barrier citing national security concerns. today i have 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 will have to saw 86 percent of its shares despite the chinese government saving the company from bankruptcy makin 2019 but says and pays the links to the congress 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 new port. we spoke to the director of european studies at redmond university who thinks the decision is not in london, economic interests, but its desire to comply with us foreign policy. this is
12:23 am
a political interference of the market. at least $500.00 jobs would 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 after the break seats, you'll k ought to be very neat. china, maybe india market to replace it with a single market of the european union. so those behavior actually is on their fire to the oil, or they're turned on the okay relation, because you, okay, you said 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 5 ice allies to follow this law. so it doesn't even your case,
