10:03 am
let's go to russia's belgrade region now. when 80 year old man has been killed in ukrainian shelling in the village of a think, according to a local official for houses will also damage sans emergency services, a presently conducting house to house searches looking for further victims. russia has said that as a result of the strike that targeted ukraine's missile production facilities, ukraine's prime minister has said that half of the countries energy system was knocked out by the strikes while russia is under the spotlighted. this, he has a peg summit which has kicked off in thailand with some western lead, is using the event to try and drum up support for more countries to move against moscow. maria, the notion is in bangkok with more it seems that these here is apex summit here in
10:04 am
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 and later or the get 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 is ultimately responsible for deadly missile incident in poland near the border with ukraine, no matter what the investigation shows. while the preliminary prob, blamed the ukrainian air defenses, lincoln also said that russia has agreed to extend the black sea grain deal as it felt the world would not accept any refusal from moscow. moscow says it has always been in favor of this initiative, allow in the export of grain from unblock your running ports to poorer is then developing nations in asia and africa. moscow. the only time suspended its participation in this dale half the key of use, the humanitarian corridor for its military purposes,
10:05 am
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 mac 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
10:06 am
russian delegation. hearing talent that the a peg, russia's vice prime minister and 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, the nuclear reduced antibodies are those were the europeans clumsy actions of last summer have went with shock increasing gas prices, and this is affected mineral fertilizer production costs. as a result, many businesses have been forced to close. as 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 factors created a threat to the stability of the economy in the
10:07 am
e. u. southern europe and even in germany, further russia's foreign minister said a gale oliver off speak it at his g. 20 press conference in bali called this phenomenon. i political personalities lead when the wednesdays, from one hand calling for negotiations, friendship uniting afterwards and standing together against common challenges. and at the same time, escalating the situation with a quick and groundless accusations against russia like with holland and demonizing rush and blame in it 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 final declaration on saturday. and his opening speech to the summit, china's president, his code for the end of western had germany and unilateralism. well, thailand's foreign minister, his dress that joined the international efforts needed to solve common challenges.
10:08 am
the cold war mentality, hegemony ism unilateralism and protectionism are mounting acts that distort international norms disrupt economic linkages in flight, conflicts, and regions, and impede the development of cooperation. are all to common. history tells us that block confrontation cannot solve any problem and that bias will only lead to disaster. the asia pacific is no one's back yard and should not become an arena for big power contest. no attempt to wage a new cold war will ever be allowed by the people. and by our times this she is apec summit must rise above these challenges and deliver hope to the world that logs that collaboratively there is room for us to prevail and prosper. when it comes, i made an escalating us trade war, again staging with american senators, pushing to block federal access to semi conduct has produced by china. well,
10:09 am
us vice president, come le hires is reportedly planning to call out some asian nations including china doing her speech as a peg or plus the pentagon. and so that will support taiwan military with american weapons and training, which paging, of course, strongly opposes. we discuss the issue with victory gal, vice president at the center for china and globalization. we say it's washington's attempts to separate pages from the global market will only hurt american manufacturers. china is one of the largest a manufacturers of semiconductor chips and the largest the importer of semiconductor chips of all kinds from many different countries and regions in the world. if the united states really wants to separate china away from this markets all semiconductors, it. ready will hurt the semiconductor manufacturers interest in the united states because after all, china is the largest market. and then once china become self reliant in
10:10 am
semiconductor chips, china may not need to import any semiconductor chips from the united states. therefore, i think this crazy attempt to isolate china will not result in china's isolation. it will result in greater reliance, self reliance and independence of china in the semiconductor chips. i think as a human being explained, the world needs piece, development, and growth and stability rather than all cold war or block mentality. for example, artificially dividing the welding, opposing blocks. we cannot allow the apec region to be distracted by competition rather a conflict. all we need to really dedicate ourselves to piece ability and development so that all the countries in our part of the world will benefit
10:11 am
eventually. pharma ukrainian president petula portion has claimed that the min scott courts were a hoax, orchestrated by ukraine time weapons as nato training. when 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. absolutely, and now he is the one who signed it originally back in september of 2014. and now we know once again that he never planned on eminence in the midst agreements. and this is something the bladder putin was talking all talking about all along. he said that one of the reasons for the special military operation was failure to observe the men's agreements. and if we take a look at a chart by the o. s. c,
10:12 am
we can see that the number of violations increased significantly and there you have it before. it was just under $200.00, which was again enough. but then it rose all the way to over a 1000 and some cases, 1200 explosions in the don boss. so again, when the key of in the west say that this special military operation was unprovoked, this is exactly what moscow is talking about. saying that this was one of the reasons why russia felt the need to start this operation. also. and other reason that was nato and circling russia and trying to add ukraine to it's less than we heard from petra parrish and co saying now that it's so forces ukrainian forces were training along fight. nathan. so the need at that time, the needed 4 and a half years to make sure that their army is ready and according to nato standards and that it should become the best in the eastern europe. so perhaps they felt that
10:13 am
it was ready, and that's why they were so careless about the violations towards the end, the beginning of february. and that's why we saw the numbers skyrockets. now petro portion commotions. a lot of interesting things in this interview, which of course he had no idea that it was a prank. and it's really evidence you can hear his does day disdain for vladimir putin. he constantly talks about how there is a need to weaken him, and the 2 denies a russia. and we've heard about his hatred for vladimir putin for many, many years throughout this last 8 years, but also his disdain for russians as well. and that's something that's become very evident, and especially following clips like the following initial national book. because we will have jobs, they will not, we will have pensions, they will not. we will have care for our children, for people and retirees. they will not, our ukrainian children will go to school. he's in kindergarten. there's will be hold up in basements because they can't do anything about it. this is exactly how
10:14 am
we will win this war. air right now, patch opera shanker, credits what he sees as ukraine's military success on the united states. and he's thanking them for our, supplying them with weapons. and he says, if they wouldn't have this military success, had it not been for the support so that they receive him from the united states. and of course not just the support but also weapons. and also he did a few, he had some statistics. he said that russia has 10 times more weapons 30 times more ammunition. it's far superior innovation, which is why they need what exactly more weapons. so he's encouraging the united states to send them more weapons. and also he said that the sanctions, i have done a great job that they need more sanctions that need to be harsher sanctions. and also when he's asked the question about how do you think we can which piece or how
10:15 am
can piece be brought forth? and he said, well, we don't need the p steel. we just need more weapons. we need anything we can't make sure to we can putin so that seems to be his main goal. we can do to get rid of him, get us more weapons, and of course they want to join nato. going to our top story. now. russia's defense ministry house condemned on alleged a massacre of russian prisoners of war by ukrainian soldiers. that's off the footage, much online appearing to show russian soldiers. so when they went to you ukrainians, but then seen dead on the spot in a separate video. here's the statement from the defense industry. the new video, evidence of a massacre of unarmed russian prisoners of war by ukrainian service men confirms the savage nature of the current key of regime led by the lensky and those who protect and support him. at the same time, the ukrainian service men who surrendered this week are being held in accordance with all the requirements of the geneva convention. the brutal killing of russian
10:16 am
prisoners of war is not the 1st to not the only war crime. this is a common practice by the armed forces of ukraine, zelinski and his henchmen will have to answer for every single, tortured prisoner or less disgusted with crystal and the and journalist and founder of the dumbass inside the website. many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you. now while we have not been able to independently verify any of this message that we've seen, the russian defense ministry seems to suggest it was all fantastic. so what's your take on the story? i, if you look carefully at the positions of the corpses on the 2 videos you see that keeps the same soldiers. so i'm quite sure that these to deal with are showing the same soldiers while they were to surrendering. and after they were killed, the places of the, of the blood and so on. sieges that they were executed should be images carefully.
10:17 am
that's what appearance. and i would like to say that the, as the russian minister of defense said, it's not the 1st time that we see such videos. we have to remember these videos from the georgia and the gin which tortured and killed the russian prisoners of war and the fume themselves. and they published each so it's not like the 1st time that it happens. what sort of reaction if any, do you think we can expect to see to this case from western officials and of course, western media? i think they will ignore it, or perhaps this time they will be to react like when there was a video from the georgia legion, one french media 25 and said that the team that the deal is real. so perhaps we see something like that. but i think that most of them will simply ignore it and just say that it's russian propaganda like they do always do
10:18 am
when russia is coming with the fact that are not fitting the narrative of the west, or do you think we can expect to fall into investigation and so what exactly happened? no. whenever you please continue. there was no investigation. there were no investigations after the 1st videos where published with the exec you sion, of russian soldiers. and i don't think that something we'll be done. i mean, they have killed their eyes on the war. crimes of ukraine seems 8 years tried to him, seeing that they will begin now to, to investigate on that. whenever ukraine accuses rush of any atrocities, the reaction from the west is always very quick and very damning. why would any russian accusations be treated differently? because they have decided that the russia must be the culprit of everything. we
10:19 am
have seen that with what happened in poland. it was a ukrainian massage, which killed the 2 foolish farmers, but they pretend that russia is guilty. so russia has been fixed in this role of being guilty of everything. and so that's why i don't expect anything. i mean, the west is supporting ukraine, so they are part of the country. so why would they destroyed the narrative, which allows them to obtain at least a certain support from their population, all the money and the weapons which are given to ukraine. they will not do that, you crane has been calling for more western military and economic support. do you think that footage like this might affect whether they do get that support if a lot of people see that, of course,
10:20 am
it can affect it. some people can ask why we're providing weapons to a country which is committing such war crimes. so of course, it can destroy the people support towards all the money and the weapons which are provided by the way. so, and i think that's why they will simply ignore retail. pretend that it's russian propaganda. custodians, journalists down found other don't back inside of web site. many thanks for your time. appreciate your thoughts on those. thank you. you're welcome. now moving on the 27th annual un climate meeting, ca 27 is wrapping up the global gathering. so much said about the need to jointly address issues on the african continent where 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,
10:21 am
risks, the health and well being of the world's most vulnerable populations. however, it seems like promises and course the action or not being backed up by concrete action as african countries continue to by the brands of the devastating effects of climate change. his corolla, title, asthma, africa is the fastest urbanized region in the world, and it's cities 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 a,
10:22 am
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 those. what just 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, 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
10:23 am
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 somalia, ethiopia can yesterday 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 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,
10:24 am
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 inequality across the african continent, much of that is also due to the historical or 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 it adaptation goal, which is a 100000000000 annually. or, you know,
10:25 am
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. got i will, is, has a lot of tea in johannesburg. we spoke to n j o, the executive chair of the african, any d chamber. he said what he saw at cock 27 was really wealthy nations trying to both africa around i think, i think as a quiz, but that's not really been listen to africa requests for just energy transition has already been played into i and i've not been dealt with i think what we saw was a lecture, a lecture from really wealthy nations on western nations coming down to africa and kind of africans what to do. and i think that is exactly what are some are person mohammad. why really nigeria, in the great m. p said how not to talk about climate change. we use the climate
10:26 am
these last us in that we and we are victims of the climate, not, not retreat. those will be after or we are only 3 hot, 3 percent greenhouse gas emissions. what we saw was it was something short raised because african voicemail shut down. and africans would be make sure. and i think african once rose on school and did not buy into the narrative that we need to do. but i'm not sure. a gas gas gas is bringing europe, gas, gas is bad enough. your kind of coal mines, but africans cannot produce for so few. so yeah, people, 600000000 africans have access to electricity. 900000000, who i think would be technology. we have some really, really strong problems that meeting, so i'm just copying what i traced to the democratic republic of the
10:27 am
congo. now, where residents of the city of go not have been sleeping in fair, potentially cautioned by the n 23 level. correct? as is fighting between the countries army and rebels, news ever closes the 5000s of being displaced and plunging the volatile region into crisis. according to local officials, more than 200000 people have fled so far. east african community has now scheduled peace talks between the army and rebels for november 21st and the canyon camp. so people seeing hostilities have spoken of that is that like when it, although i have to make the food for my children, i have to go to the markets to bag. otherwise the children will starve to death. this is life here. what do we now fear that the rebels will arrive here near the city? i had to flee my village and when i arrived there was also a lot of gunfire. in the end, i found myself here, but the day before yesterday, soldiers opened fire here too. and we fled again to goma. we came back here and
10:28 am
were suffering. i'm sitting here now, but i have nowhere to sleep. we spend the night out in the open sky. the children get sick every day and when it rains, we are completely wet. these living conditions are catastrophic. meanwhile, the u. s. secretary of state has said his concerns about the situation calling for a day escalation. this comes as rwanda faces accusations of sponsoring the d. r c rebels that something it denies. had an important meeting which wand and foreign minister today on the margins of my g. 20 meetings in bali. i underscored the united states deep concern about the continuing violence in easton, d. r. c. and called on one door to take active steps to facilitate the escalation. and then the other day, i see parliament tells you that the country's government doesn't believe it when it is acting as out of good. well, it is difficult for us to believe that the united states a z, a tinged with good faith in, in this problem we are having with one back. because at the same moment they are
10:29 am
asking for this escalation. and that this same moment, they are silence. i told gresham no, for you one against our country. we know that the one that is being used by sold mob forces from out of africa to help for damage to pick one of our pop. so our country ladies, there are many american companies, westerman companies, european companies that are a lead kid with the rule and these 2 held for them to destroy these the stability of the eastern part of our country. so you can look at the same woman being called into being good, according to people to be just delayed. and at the same moment, you end up being those who are violating these, that it is ation. so this is bringing grass in
