but he opened up a notch with a president, poor shanker, who had signed the minsk piece bills on don't boss admit, he never intended to stick to be agreements and simply use them to prepare ukraine's military for war. finance. president now say that he's not sure who's responsible for miss all that came down in poland, killing 2 civilians, not just one day off. the he claimed it was fired by russia, quoting for a western response. also ahead in keith africa, climate related migration. and this placement eventually become a way of like this,

like the whole country, only a mid thing, 0 point, one percent of global emissions. the people pay a heavy price as comp $27.00 wraps up. we explore how promises but little auction leave african states in the us when it comes to the climate emergency. with a very, we're welcome to you. this is all see international with the very latest world news update is great to have you with this, this, our former ukranian president, petro portia, and i was once again claim that the immense accords were a hoax. orchestrated to buy ukraine, time weapons, and nato training. my name is i needed the minsk agreements to gain at least 4 and a half years to build the ukrainian forces to build the ukrainian economy, to train ukrainian forces alongside nato, to create the best armed forces in eastern europe,

according to nato standards. lucille one or 2, i mean a studio now is on his maria, cause river to weapon is more details on this story. am i seem to recall it isn't, isn't the 1st time that portion co has admitted that the misc agreement, which is to scam this was a brilliant turn of events because of course this was a prank call. and petra, poor shanker, literally just laid, his thoughts bare there. he didn't, of course expect that we would all be listening to this phone conversation that he thought he was having with an american diplomat. so once again there, he was confirming that when he signed the minsk agreements back in september of 2014, he had no intention of law observing them. and that he said this was all to buy him some more time. he said that he needed 2 and a half years to make sure that he builds the ukrainian army, and also that he trained so with nato. and that make sure that he has the best army in eastern europe, according to nato standard. so that's exactly what he got,

and interestingly enough, i should say, right before we saw the escalation of the conflict in february 2022, there was a lot of violations that were being recorded by the hour c. and there is a chart up in february lead and up to february, we saw just how many violations of the men's agreements there were, which is what one of the reasons why vladimir putin started and said that he was going to launch the special military operation. because if we can see at the chart, which i'm sure that they'll bring up it in a 2nd, there were for example, there was failure to there was sabotaged in the misc implementation, the agree switched within the framework of the norman, the for summit. also negotiation process delays of the contact group and was seeking to exclude the don boss from the negotiation process. so i'm sure we'll have the graphics up for you in the following hour,

but so there were lots of violations of them in agreements, and that now makes sense. the federal portion uncle said that they were only just to buy him time. perhaps this was all the time he needed, perhaps he felt that the army was ready and good to go, which is why they were being so careless about violating the men's agreements. also lots of interesting stuff coming out from that interview was about 19 minutes. so he said that ukraine success so far, for example, would have been impossible, had it not being from help from countries like italy and britain. but in particular, most importantly, the united states who they get most of the weapons from. and he said that there are some, for example, useful idiots in the government right now that are blocking his travel abroad. he really wanted to attend the nato summit, for example. we also said the key of mayor clinical has also been banned from traveling abroad in attending international international events. he said that

russia has 10 times more weapons, 30 times more munition, and that they need to level things on the battlefield asking for weapons. this is something a recurring theme, and petra portion goes the interview there is that we need more weapon we see in success, but it's not enough. thank you for the sanctions. it's doing great things, but we need more and harshest sanctions right now, because the main goal is to the food supplies, as he said to we can foods and that's his main goal. and he seemed over the last 8 years, just the hatred, petro portion co seems to have, not only for vladimir putin, but russians in general, if we can refer back to the clip, which was from several years ago as this was sorting. where he mentioned that he wishes harm even on children. like listen initial mental health because we will have jobs, they will not, we will have pensions, they will not. we will have care for our children, for people in retiree. they will not, our ukrainian children will go to school. he's in kindergarten,

miss. there's will be hold up in basements because they can't do anything about it . this is exactly how we will win this war to them. so these were petrified suncoast word bag then, and now he's saying that the main goal is to weaken putin. and when they asked him a question, for example, when do you think there will be peace? will there be peace? he's saying that apparently vladimir putin's goal is to drag this out until spring so that he can use his other weapon energy, which is what we've heard from her kias regime for so many times right now that putin as weaponized in his energy and is trying to make sure that everyone has actually winter and no one can survive. so he thinks that this will dry a gone until spring. and also he said that, ah, in order to get more peace, that only the piece, the o petro portion cassette we need more weapons. so in order to reach pease, give us more weapons, suppliers more and force harsher sanctions on russia are deeper to nizer the

country and just make sure that putin, i assume, isn't no longer empower and then gets punished for it afterwards. marina many thanks for bringing that speed on this story i saw it is marina casa mother. thank . now disturbing footage has emerged online suggesting lead ukrainian military execution of russian prisoners of war whose efforts on verified videos and also elating on social media. awarding for you, some of the following footage is graphic and you might find it up. so i think the 1st video is said to have been filmed by ukrainian troops in the back of the guns for public safety and using into a residential jobs to accept the surrender was said to be a group of russian soldiers, several men in uniform. i seemed coming up from a building with their hands up before lying down on the ground towards the end of

the video. one person comes out while apparently holding something in his hands. at which point a burst of gunfire is heard and then puts out a separate video, apparently shot from a drone to show a group of men in uniform lying dead on the grounds with pools of blood around their heads suggesting they feel executed. it's been alleged that the 2nd video shows the aftermath of the previous incident, although we have not been able to independently verify any of these images. like russia is under the spotlighted apec this year with many western leaders using the occasion to criticize moscow and also correspond maria for national who's at the summit and the tie capital bank called cosmo. it seems that this year is apex summit here in thailand, asia pacific regions, major economic gather reign has become yet another platform to talk about russia

and to blame it earlier. the west has used the se on in later or the good 20 meetings to confront russia and to call out, to put in. and here again, the u. s. is secretary of state said that russia ultimately responsible for them. they saw incident and poland near the border with ukraine no matter what the investigation shows, while the preliminary prob, blame the ukrainian air defenses. lincoln also said that russia has agreed to extend the black sea grain deal as it fell. the world would not accept any refusal from moscow. moscow says it has always been in favor of this initiative, allowing the export of drain from unblock your running ports to poorest and developing nations, adrian, africa, moscow. the only time suspended each participation in this dale half the key of use the humanitarian corridor for its military purposes, attacking the russian navy in crimea with drones. at the same time, we hear repeated calls from different western nations to get together or to stand

together against global challenges, like energy and food crisis for wage again and still russia is to blame. here is francis president manuel mike wrong here at a peg trying to sway asia during the past few months. friends focused itself not just to support to craig, and we will follow up. but to work very closely with a different countries like china, india, to whole region, middle east, africa, latin america, to create an increasing consensus. in order to see this war isn't so your, your problem. it fits perfectly the ideal plan to avoid any responsibility for global economy crash the u. k. and the u, as have come up with earlier, the talking is the economy will not recover until the war and the head of the russian delegation. hearing talent that the a peg,

rushes vice prime minister on the day below was so sad that he had to remind his colleagues many times earlier today that the crisis has been there before. russia's special military operation in ukraine. here is his words that he nuclear reduce student body issues or school. the europeans clumsy actions of last summer have went to a shock, increasing gas prices, and this is affected mineral fertilizer production costs. as a result, many businesses have been forced to close, but for europe, it's not just about the recession there. back in 2021, the market started to move and metal price is doubled. this created high uncertainty for manufacturers and no one could make long term plans because of this . in addition to this, there was high inflation, a tightening of fiscal and monetary policies and the debt problem. all these fact has created a threat to the stability of the economy in the u. southern europe, and even in germany, earlier russia's foreign minister said

a gale over off speaker at his g. 20 press conference in bali called this phenomenon. i political personalities plead when the wednesdays, from one hand calling for negotiations, friendship uniting app words and standing together against common challenges. and at the same time, escalating the situation with the quick and groundless accusations against russia like with poland and demonizing rush and blame. and for all the bad things in the world, and i guess we're going to see a little bit more of that here. but maybe not in that sharp form as the country steel have to come to consensus to adopt the fine old declaration on saturday. ah, the ukrainian president now says he's not 100 percent. sure. that the error message that kills 2 people in poland on tuesday was russian as in sharp contrast to his previous statements. 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 give you how many times as you claim said that the actions of the terrorist state will not be limited to our country alone. hitting make po territory with miss isles. this is, are you russian missile attack on collective security? this is a really significant escalation action is needed, but as kansas inclined class where there is western allies in a rare public rift report of emerge, suggesting that biden's national security advisor asked to ukrainian officials to tread carefully with their accusations. the u. s. president reportedly refused to speak with the lensky following the incident, and that despite the ukrainian leaders repeated requests, and his aunt jo by them responded. when asked about, he had his version of events with

on tuesday and miss al crashed in a polish village near the ukrainian border killing to within hours. the number of polish and ukrainian government officials, including the lensky claimed it was the russian rocket. warsaw later conceded the rock. it was like a ukrainian air defense message that went to stray a position that has also been echoed by nato and washington. although an official investigation is still under way. earlier, we spoke to hendrick. we buy a norwegian writer, political analyst, and form a politician on various issues connected to ukraine. let's take a look. the foolish share politicians have 1st to wait, which kind of war that they get from washington, or they can say, it's easy as it's as easy as possible. as they always rags, blame the russians, and then we can see what will happen. so in the 1st time of most of them over the politicians, of course, say they'd say russia is sending this missile and,

and then maybe we find out that it was a ukraine. but then this case is already forgotten the, so it's always the same. first blame the russians and then we would see what happened if a western countries did not support as a coup d'etat into tells me 14, then we don't good be in this situation at all. and so we, in the entity to question, way one decides all the situation starts in 2014, maybe before that. and so if he would not have supported this through a coup de todd in, he is in 2014. we would not be in the situation now and we would not be award in ukraine at all. when we forget about this history than we don't understand the situation right now. in the end, when this war ends, who is so who is the country is building up ukraine again, that it wouldn't be russia maybe because a u. s. is not interested anymore. they losing their interests and turning round to

all the programs in the world, maybe china, and then ukraine is left. and no european countries will build up a ukraine again. it will be russia. the 27th annual un climate meeting. top $27.00 is wrapping up the global gathering. so much says about the need to join the address, the issues on the african continent when millions of 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, things like promises and calls to action or not being backed up by concrete and concrete, concrete action as, as the contentious continues of bad. the bronze of the devastating effects of climate change as his corrales had last 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 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 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 operated 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 those. what has guess 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, flow 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 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 kinds of extreme weather events. but what's really important is at this point, of course, to try to address those root causes,

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 samaya 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 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 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 at 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 hesitates, should not only be the concern of the few, got i will, is, has a lot of t,

n. john is back. we spoke to n j oak, the executive chair of the african energy chamber who sees what he saw it called 27 . was really wealthy nations trying to both africa around i think, i think as a quest for help has not really been listened to. or because requests for just energy transition has already been played into i and i've not been dark with. i think what we saw was a lecture lecture from really wealthy nations on western nations coming down to africa and africans. what to do. and i think that is exactly what are some are person mohammad. why really? nigeria, in a great a said how not to talk about climate change. we use the climate class in africa that we and we are victims of the climate, not and not to be after. or we are only 3 hot, 3 percent greenhouse gas emissions. what we saw was it was something shock obvious,

raised because african boyce, they shut down an africans would be make sure, and i think african ones rose up on school and did not buy into narrative that we need to do. but i'm not sure. a gas gas gas is bringing europe, gas, gas is bad enough. you're kind of open coal mines, but africans cannot produce was a few. so yeah, people, 600000000 africans have access to electricity. 900000000, who i think could be technology. we have some really, really strong problems that meeting. so i'm just copying what i dressed and it's the to sunday, sions, democracy form for me. you as president obama, one that freedom is on the right all over the world, including and establish democracy. these democratic ideas are currently under assault, around the world. we see it in the back sliding this taking place in what we're

well established democracies. we see them escalating polarization. am this information at the fair co 3? well, it faces up to its internal crisis. democracy in the us seems to have it's fast shadow problem. se steve sweeney reports. washington always seems to call those countries in its crosshairs, autocratic or authoritarian is the us itself really any different? the white house will often deny to those it deems on democratic with molly being a recent example, united states ability to, to help molly on the security side is greatly constrained now. first and foremost by the fact that there was a qu show under us law. there is a limit on how we can support government forces, as i said, in the contextual appeal in till democracy is restored. so until 2024, but even more by choice. so molly government made

to get into bed with wagner. does washington really have the right to do this? it makes a u. s. look like some kind of autocratic general talk crazy. run by the very oligarchs it so frequently decries elsewhere is electric leader joe biden is old and frail. although he's considering running for the presidency, for a 2nd term, we're lying on cheat sheets prompting him how to behave, major gatherings a well leaders, a week leader is usually surrounded with an aging establishment. and they are the ones with the real power. the 2021 senate was, for instance, the oldest in american history. the average age of us senators is 64.3 years. senator patrick j lee has been serving for 47 years. chuck grassley, 41 years, while dianne feinstein is now the oldest sitting us senator at the age of $89.00

each. me been challenges, but it's also a benefit when it comes to being in congress. i've seen changes and trans not only in california, but across the country, not to mention animal than senate. living through that has made me much more effective at my job. such administrations usually have the packing of the armed forces in the u. s. we can see the growing military influence, the pentagon, for example, already plays a leading role in manipulating social media in supportive washington's national security priorities. we conduct those operations in support of national security priorities. what i would highlight is that they must be undertaken in compliance with u. s. law and beauty policy. and we have safeguards in place and are committed to observing those safeguards. these are not public affairs operations. these are military information support operations. many of those responsible for you as defense policies also have shares in military companies,

including lockheed martin raytheon and boeing, which is a major conflict of interest. while a 2014 princeton university study found that the u. s. is an oligarchy. multivariate analysis indicates that economical leads and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on u. s. government policy, while average citizens and mass based interest groups have little or no independent influence. but anyone who dares to speak out against this is either branded a domestic terrorist or faces censorship and even being shut down altogether. so how can the u. s. really lecture others on democracy when it is falling foul of his own? all but she standards the american system of government, which was set up to d. centralized power. it's been off balance for a number of years. and the off balance has tilted towards the swamp. and so the

amount of money and the amount of influence coming out of the swamp, washington dc, is like nothing that's ever been seen in human history. so in so far as the people who control the power of the money are using that to advantage their friends advantage themselves. that's a problem. you can call it an oligarchy. you can call it the, the trappings of the swamp. whatever it is, we have look in the last 4 years, i guess 3, even. we've seen co ovid bills past that transferred hundreds of billions of dollars to the favored people and favorite industries of those in power. that's a big problem. so you don't have to make a list of one or 2, or 5, or 6 or 10, and say those are the ones running america. what you can say is the swamp is dominating america the swamp and watch a d. c. and to the advantage of themselves and their friends. and that's again very

on american. it's a problem and we've been facing it for 10 or 15 years dramatically. and so we're on a bad trend line in terms of those of us that like the american way of life and our american system. many, thanks. thank you for this company. and i see international went back the top of the out with open, very latest, with nato is hybrid more against russia just became more dangerous and frightening. a missile fired from ukraine by ukrainians landing in poland, clearly demonstrates what can go wrong due to a mistake or miscalculation. of course, the collective west instantly move towards invoking article 5 of the nato treaty, which means starting world war 3.

only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking, that is that nations that's allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind, the nations who are the slave americans rock obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law will exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this danger is boy man that wants to take over the world. that was a culture strategy. says i'm booked as of yet on your own. i not leashed off to move on in tablet block. nato said it's hours. we move east. the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous. is it the by the sovereignty of all the countries? the exceptionalism that america uses and its international war planning is one of

the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato, what is founded shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business and businesses good. and that is the reality of what we're facing. which is fashion with oh, winter often is not. is it you know, for sure, even in europe spool burger's still waiting for alternative energy sources continue to heat their homes the old fashioned way with firewood.
