oh, be almost noon, there'll be a quote down in my chair at the florida. doesn't want that much extra money, but i know it's a good hole. ah, the ukrainian president now says he's not sure who is responsible for a missile that fall in full in killing 2 civilians just by day after he's going to missile, was russian calling for the west to chime in $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 republicans pledged account every sent. i'm financial aid allocated to tab that says the party says there's a control in the house of representatives. in east africa, climate relief at migration and displacement have certainly become
1:01 am
a way of life. this part of the home country is only a mixing 0 point one percent of global admissions. the people pay ahead the price as cog $27.00 wraps up. we explore how plenty of promises but little concrete action leave african states face to face with the climate emergency and a bias and politically motivated verdict against russia that's moscow's reaction to the heads. verdict on the m. h. 17 plain downing, a mosque out of the world. this is our to 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, that's a sharp contrast to his previous statements calling for
1:02 am
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 on 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. 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. and poland. reports have emerged that biden's national security advisor asked ukrainian 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. and here's how biden responded when
1:03 am
asked about key abs version of events. with on tuesday, a missile landed in a polish village near the ukrainian border, killing 2 locals. within hours, a number of polish and ukrainian government officials, including zelinski, claimed the rocket belong to moscow. warsaw later conceded 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 las gal asking the country's allies to provide more air defense systems. however, key as has been excluded from participating and official investigations,
1:04 am
and anonymous nato source, told the financial times that western confidence in key ad has 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, as if it's god's honest truth, no matter the situation, but here we see with
1:05 am
a direct potential ward war 3 sparking event with a missile landing and a nato member that that they walked back from that pole and should re thing it stands towards in crane after the deadly missile incident, that's according to the former mayor of the polish city of loveland, who as that the case is a provocation, aimed at boosting. further military aim to he, 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 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 this process of trying to drive natal on
1:06 am
european countries into this war. and there, there is a form of not formal, 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 salton burg position that this is not being treated the way the ukrainian government would like to be treated. but there is also the theory of the elements within natal 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, sophistic straight gone, all time to or, or the that may have had the made of liberal has said it has been by a 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
1:07 am
after the g. o. p is pledged to probe, jo, biden's involvement and his son hunters foreign business dealings are to correspond . caleb mop and has a 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, 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
1:08 am
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 bored 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 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 $1000000000.00 and
1:09 am
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 with a call for the audit comes, is the us has already spent nearly $55000000000.00 on a 2 crane this year with 37000000000 and additional help requested by buy them from congress. that's 20 percent more than russia's entire annual defense budget. and the same us congresswoman marjorie taylor greenhouse lashed out at washington funding of ukraine after multiple countries acknowledged it with key at who was responsible for the poland missile incident. we must stop letting zelinski demand money and weapons from us taxpayers. while he is trying to drag us into world war 3,
1:10 am
no more money to ukraine. it's time to end this war and demand peace. and as some officials demand an end to the war before a point of no return is reached, the us homeland security chief is apparently trying to calm people's nuclear worries, saying the u. s. would be safe in the event of a nuclear incident on the continent. 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 you as a 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,
1:11 am
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. the 27th annual un climate change, meaning cop 27 is wrapping up the global gathering. saw
1:12 am
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 displacement a result of the climate change crisis sweeping the continent. ortiz corolla has more. africa is the fastest urbanized 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
1:13 am
people look to cities for opportunity. but south africa, land and migration issue. some might say, influenced by a hint of colonialism, we are constructively softly pushed away from the city is because a, 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 the what is guess and t 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,
1:14 am
flow set onset climate impacts like, you know, just verification or drought that is going to combine with all of those other stuff you can are mix factors. and 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. 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 weather patterns in the years ahead. and we need to start addressing and thinking
1:15 am
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 that 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 lead 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, across african continent, much of that is also due to the historical i,
1:16 am
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 just, you know, suggests of responsibility. and right now we're talking about the global out of adaptation, which is a $100000000000.00 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 dollars of 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 environmentalists and farmers have criticize the british armies, use a white phosphorus during military drills. the u. k. military though, has defended the use of the hazardous weapon. farmers are sounding an alarm over strange smoke coming from me. you came military base,
1:17 am
fearing that the chemical may have affected their candles health. in response, the u. k. military defense, the use of white phosphorus, claiming drills are carried out under strict safety precautions. here's what locals had to say. funded la young. my animals completely lost the ice height after the smoke appeared. i think it was a chemical that affected them through the coffee knowledge and then some of them died to get your haile. my castle died as a result. busy to look home full chemical intoxication, i'm sure that it was the voice, phosphorus which was produced during the most through drills the animals to him blind and later died. this poses a huge problem to me would ins have such issues before russia has accused the hag court of bias saying it's 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
1:18 am
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 tell of life in prison and absentia for the unintentional downing of the plain, which was shot down over the don bass back in 2014. the suspects to russians in one ukrainian have denied their involvement of worth defendant or russian national has been acquitted. here's how the court described is decision is noted over them. you see the, the defense presented as an argument that the prosecutor's office has a constantly one sided view which has been upheld throughout the entire
1:19 am
investigation useful. 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 the origin of the materials provided for the court concluded that flight mh 17 crash a few hours after take off after being hit by russians applied missile. however, judges did not directly link the strike with russia. almost 300 people on board were killed. those convicted will now need to pay over $16000000.00 euros to the victims families. the attorney of the acquitted, defend. it says he wants to know why not all of the wreckage from the aircraft was analyzed by western investigators just 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
1:20 am
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, i didn't on sure, let's say our arguments in our views and please on, on those aspects. the findings of a further investigation entity and ange, 17 tragedy are expected to be announced next year. independent dutch journalists, sonya van den, 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 related part that was not allowed to go to the place of the accident later on. they were allowed to, but yeah, it was to be expected to show a trial. it would be like did. and i think the unprecedented in just that curious dixon that used to ignore defects. and this is what they are doing. the radar
1:21 am
evidence was never taking into account. it was never 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 opened. ukrainian back 7379. so actually, you know, it's and ukrainian and fella. so straight away they blamed russia, russia it is, and that's it actually. so i think this whole trial is candy shoot. start with old pieces of evidence to have from both sides. and then you can speak about a real fair trial, and this is no, haven't for pakistani prime minister emron con, with followers and tow continue on their protests for fresh elections. the massive march plans to reach the capital city of islam about by saturday. a local journalists tells us more from the scene. hi, emily file,
1:22 am
multiply mr. anna buddha hammond. i'm con. as in i was his whole nesters dorita islam abroad on 19 optimum, but we are in but caleb, my like i do see 8, i'll fall pakistan. and these supporters of feminine con, are sending in there, and they have with the at the hands. and they're promised to join the 10s of thousands of protesters jeopardize islam. i bought this jobs grow and the supporters often bomb con, i've been banning. tomas bought his la, whatsoever on con, is honest, truthful and doesn't lie. that is why we like him on that 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, we especially those who sell their conscious. they have bought many, but this fraud will no longer continue, god willing,
1:23 am
we will fight with them on their own it. 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 this state there's a picture of him on convoy adler. he has not yet just lay about this to the support of my desire time. what i said is it is to women is sort of became bigger promise of it. and now these protest automatic, did me months in couple of this, bruce law modified as long as their demand for free credit. and oddly, alexa, the bike is funded. the british government has walked the sale and the country's largest semiconductor plant to chinese o. next period, 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
1:24 am
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 period, we'll have to sell 86 percent of its shares despite the chinese government saving the company from bankruptcy back in 2019. but since and piece new 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 redwin university and thinks the decision is not in london's economic interests, but its desire to comply with us foreign policy. this is the political interference of that market, at least in a $500.00 a job so that they lose. and also for the for the british
1:25 am
companies. competitive advantage also in danger. and also damage to the investment 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 pin units. so those behavior actually is point their fire to the oil or their turn on the okay relation. because you, okay, you said 5 eyes, allies of united states. when the u. s. puts the law 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, not dependent, no sacrifice. the economic interests to serfs for the american national security.
