[000:00:00;00] a, a, we informed the world community. the plant is at risk of a new killer accident. russia was of a potential nuclear catastrophe in europe. a power plant once again comes on the 27 over the weekend. as a u. n dot com. it works though. the alarming situation written in warning regarding ukraine, same weapon said to the company, a nation in africa, questions, it's long time,

military presence in the rest of the nation with what i get off and anyway, whenever you are the world. welcome to international is just past the hour and it's great to have you with us. i'm reminded. let's take a look at today's top stories. russia has won the europe is a potential nuclear is also due to the training military's persistent. shoving of the upper rose your power plot, russia's defense this he has said you clinicals is fired, more than a dozen artillery rounds at the nuclear facility and the latest attack. but keith has said, russian troops were responsible for the fighting. the international atomic energy agency has cooled for a demilitarized zone around the part of

a potential nuclear disaster. the russian nuclear agency ross at all has been in talks with the u. n. a. thomas, what's the latest escalation? all tease english done. i have reports. the ceo of russia's atomic energy giant ra, sat am did held. i did hold a very brief media conference here in such a at an event at an expo event. in fact, that is organized by raw satin itself. and the very much businesslike atmosphere has here been kind of overshadowed by the concerns over the situation at the sup raja nuclear power plant. and indeed, the head of ross, atom, whose company is right now in charge of these approaching nuclear power plant, has confirmed that the threat is very real well. but at least we were in talks with the i e a almost all night. we know that rafael grossi has held talks with european leaders and conveyed the concern we informed the world community that the plant is at risk of a nucular accident. and it is obvious that kid considers it possible to allow

a new killer incident that will forever change the course of history in europe. leaders of the world need to come to their senses and instruct politicians and care of to come back to reality. who in their plans are apparently beginning to allow the potential of nucular incidence to further their interests. and with this very concerning statement, a well, ross atoms, chief, has only has merely chimed in to the choir, of all the voices in rush, all sorts of politicians of all calibers that have been indeed warning and cooling on the u. s. on europe, on ukraine's allies, essentially to stop keith to prevent keith from shelling these approach you nuclear power plant. now this is an accusation that key of itself has vehemently denied. and while point pointing the finger of blame at russia in turn, moscow has been saying that is absolute nonsense. the sub will preposterous idea. this is what they've called it, that russia could be shelling the territory that it is that it is now has control over. and indeed i did visit this approach to nuclear power plant back in august.

and we were shown the debris, for instance, of a polish made combat drone, which was shot down over the plant before it had the opportunity, had the chance deal any damage and rush of course doesn't have the russian military does not have polish, may drones in its arsenal, and of course we were also shown the scale of the devastation that was dealt to this approach. you nuclear power plant. well, luckily, nothing critical that we observed that at the time, but indeed some of the destruction was quite significant. nonetheless, for instance, whole workshops were rendered in operational, for instance, a cooling workshop. and so certain portions of the approaching nuclear power plant had to be shut down. now our visit journalist visit had coincided with the visit of none other than rafael grossey himself. again, the head of the international atomic energy agency, a u, and back to watchdog, an atomic energy watchdog. and so he had the chance to see everything that we

journalists were shown. and since august, a small detachment of the i. e, a specialists, they have been present 247 from what we understand. at these approach, you nuclear power plant, monitoring the situation there, and kind underlining and backing. the concerns that russia has over the while potential threat that emanates from the facility or indeed i agrees that the threat is very real, although it abstains from our well appointing blame. and while attributing blame as to who's responsible for the shelling, whoever is behind this. it must stop immediately, as i've said many times before, you're playing with fire. so again, the statement by ross atoms, seo, just again stresses that the threat is very real and will of course, the radioactive cloud, it will not respect any visa policies. we discuss delays development though the ris around

a 0 renew apart with journalists and analyst wyatt read. he says that only an international reaction will determine the red line for cave. this is another and the so was. ready shoes basically there the ukranian regime and company are basically warranty gamble with all of our lives. if that is what it takes to overthrow russia to balkanized russia to destroy russia, imperative countries, if that's what it takes, then that's the price that they are willing to pay. the reaction from much of the rest of the. busy world i think, will determine where the here regime use it's red lines as being which is to say that if there is not a big reaction from much of the western european nations,

i don't think that much of anything will happen in terms of consequences for ukraine you know, they basically have learned at this point that they can cry, will want to change gears after the british law enforcement agency has expressed concerns that weaponry, that western countries are sending to ukraine could end up in the hands of terrorists, u. k. authorities, as well as euro poll i'm interval are on the lookout for potential black markets. as with any conflict, when weapons pour in, there is a risk blow back. at the end of the conflict, there are surplus weapons that get into the hands of criminals or terrorists tracking uncertainty. credit is proving difficult. talk to you despite previous assurances heard in washington, the u. s. a. loan has sent more than $20000000000.00 of murphy aid to heave, while yet unable to account for military equipment abandon in afghanistan. according to recent government ripples,

the pentagon does not actually know how many weapons were left in the hands of the taliban. but washington to say that there will be no attempt made to secure them. this ma'am, cost lives to john korea who form a c i a allison host of the all t show the whistleblowers. john, great to see you here in archie. now the u. s. a used to leaving military equipment behind, aren't they? i mean, we've heard of this. we and other conflicts on how likely is it that at least some of these weapons being sent to ukraine as an end up in the hands of criminals and terrorists? i would go so far as to say that it's a certainty, if you go to pis, shower pakistan, for example, and you go to the arms market, which has been there for decades now. virtually every piece of equipment, every hand gun, every long gun is american made because once these weapons are delivered,

that's the end of it for the united states, they wash their hands of it. they have no idea what happens to these weapons. look at what's happening in libya. you know, when, when the libyan uprising began, it was largely done with american weapons that had been smuggled from syria. because the us had delivered weapons to their, their al qaeda allies in syria and then just walked away from it. so i, i would call it a certainty that we heard recently, you know, throughout the, the election of the, of these made some, some republicans calling for a thorough old, it of all weaponry, already senshi ukraine. if ever this is not accountable, what would that, what would that be? consequences for the current us administration? no, nobody is going to take responsibility for this calls for an audit are really little more than lip service to transparency. you know, the pentagon in, in the entirety of its history has never been audited,

never. and the government accountability office estimates are government accounting office, excuse me, estimates that some $23.00 trillion dollars worth of equipment and money, frankly, is missing. since the founding of the department of defense in, in the, in the 1940s. so there's no, there's, there's not going to be any accountability. no one will be taken to task. no one will be prosecuted or disciplined or fired or anything. they'll just keep on doing what they're doing, knowing that no one will ever have to pay the piper. but is i worrying john on? is it okay, that was we talked, we talked about before about i've kind of song, some weapons being left there until about libya. the uprising there, but now it's on europe's doorstep with those who it's about millions or throw billions, while hundreds of millions of dollars left there in ukraine and moved around on in

black markets. is this, could this be a potential threat for europe? absolutely. yes. you have to think that at the very minimum, many of these weapons will end up in the hands of organized crime, gangs, mafia gangs. they'll end up in bulgaria and romania and hungary and poland. maybe even make their way eastward or southeast and end up in the hands of, of chechens, or who knows if they could go anywhere. and so i would have to think that that europe would be very worried about making sure that they have at least some way to keep tabs on who is taking delivery of these weapons. and you know, it's not just guns and ammunition to, as you correctly pointed out, of there are billions of dollars worth of weapons that were left behind in, in afghanistan, the pentagon has unofficially said it's about 7000000000 dollars worth of equipment

. and they disingenuously said that they tried to make much of it inert, won't much of it was, was not left entered. and we're not talking about guns and ammunition. we're talking about armored personnel carriers and tanks and anti aircraft weapons. so it's not just guns and bullets that we need to be worried about right now. so anyway, look of the big picture. i saw him everything a step back here. that lila still seems to be pummeling weapons into this region. is it because it was odd chaos to the region? yes, i think that the ultimate goal is to destabilize russia as best it can. you know, colleagues, former colleagues of mine and i were talking just to date, for example, about sanctions and the failure of sanctions. i said, kind of naively, i said, you know, sanctions never work, they end up hurting the weakest people in the countries that are targeted. and

a former cia colleague of mine responded that that's exactly what the sanctions are supposed to do. sanctions are supposed to hurt the poorest people to the point where they rise up against their government. well, couple that with arms that are freely available on the black market. and i think that at the end of the day, that's probably what the goal is. you're interested, you said that was a an idea. it wasn't too bad. michael. russian, people signed up against the government was up. is that the i'm the i think that's it. i think that's it. but that would only mean that loaded and put across the 5 a russian can't do business with anybody else. but the wes and yet we can clearly see that that is not the case with chart with the bricks. oh no. with the s c a with everything like that. so what is it time for that for them to change the attack 6, right? that's the failure of,

of the u. s. policy. the u. s. policy pretends that the entire world is participating in these anti russia sanctions, and that's just not the case. that's why this is such a poorly thought out and poorly executed policy. as you said, you know, these, these guns may be meant for, eventually, for russian citizens to use, to rise up against their government. they're not going to rise up against their government, their supportive of their government. these weapons are going to end up in the hands of organized crime figures and terrorists and separatists. and it's going to create a bigger problem than europe will have ever seen coming. la la, la, la, la, cold time, ahead of us john. i thank them for joining me here today. auntie. pleasure to me for the pleasure to. thanks for your time. just thank you for the sign of our oh, all right, now change gears slightly more and look at nato because they had a parliamentary assembly and they passed the resolution calling for the blokes,

members, nations to label russia as a terrorist state and continue providing keith with lethal murphy 8th as close to all t course one painted moment for more details on this kind of good just reaching out to us more about so what's been going on with this nato parliamentary meeting? sure it will. the nato parliamentary assembly passed a resolution calling for member states of nato to designate russia as a terrorist state. now, it's important to note this is a non binding resolution, so any actual fall out from it remains to be seen. it's not clear that this will have any definite results. now this comes as the check lower house of parliament did recently pass a similar resolution on there has been a similar resolution put forward before the european parliament. and it's important to, to recall the words of the russian foreign minister. he came forward and he said that

these are essentially. 3 xena phobic moves blayton hostility to a country and the language of this resolution. it was just passed by the nato parliamentary assembly. he calls for getting more weapons and more support to the government in kiya, which would essentially lead to prolonging this conflict and more death. and more suffering, you're some of that language. welcoming the strengthened, comprehensive assistance package for ukraine and the commitment by nature to help you crane transition to modern equipment, boost inter operability and bolster further ukraine's defense and security institutions and applauding the crucial military economic and humanitarian assistance. that individual allies and partners are providing ukraine ng before the nature of parliamentary assembly granting president. lindsey actually went as far

as emphasizing that he would like the european union and nato membership applications of ukraine to be sped up. now the, the prime minister of portugal has pointed out that it seems unlikely that there will be an emotion moving ahead with regard to allocation. this is what the prime minister portugal had to say on the matter. the european union has very clear criteria for the session of new member states, but unfortunately, it does not have criteria for its own capacity to receive new member states therapy unit does not have the conditions to meet the expectations it is now creating. and the rebound effect of these expectations will be a huge drama in the short term if they are dashed. now it, in his remarks, the ukrainian leader, also called for continued europe and continued unity between europe and ukraine. and while the resolution was passed, there were

a number of natal member states that very carefully got up and emphasized that regardless of how things are valid in ukraine, but russia is going to remain their neighbor and they will have to operate in with an understanding that geography is simply not going to change. russia is going to remain their neighbor. they will have to have some kind of relationship with a country on their border to us. ok, excellent article was good talking to you, sir. thanks so much for bringing some sweet. salty k close one moment. thanks. ah. okay. key was lita is in the russian capital where he's, it's very, it's a hopefuls with his counselor about him input in both moscow and havana are under heavy us sanctions and a police unveil new economic opportunities including discussions on decreasing dollar defense in global trade, fuel cuban present, miguel diaz come out, visited all tea and gave us an exclusive interview. partially,

i believe we have great bilateral relations on the political fronts. and we also continued to take steps towards increasing our economic and trade cooperation. regardless of any agenda, this visit is especially important since both russia and cuba going through very difficult times. now, both countries are under sanctions, both at targets of smear campaigns and experienced pressure from a number of capitalist countries being hosted by ots. he is a great opportunity for us, and it feels a lot like home here because our relations have been developing and gaining momentum in recent years. i recall president putin, during one of his visits to cuba. speaking of the need to boost artes, reach in cuba, and we made it happen since march 20, 2020 on espanol broadcast in cuba. 247 is quickly become one of the most popular news channels with people of all ages in cuba. why often asi reports on topics that are not covered by other media. there's a strong bond for this kind of information in cuba to day, especially among the younger population and not he plays an important part in

supplying it parties. website, for example, is very popular with cuban viewers to day we are your guests and we can see for ourselves the scale of artes activities. the way everything is organized here, i see vast opportunities for developing our cooperation for us. this is yet another opportunity to learn from your experience. your experience is particularly important to us today. as the bill on social communication is about to be submitted to cuba national assembly in december. it's a comprehensive draft law designed to promote social communications in the country . we've worked out the basic principles of government work in this area and will be happy to consider your proposals on the matter. for us as defense versus as his country has not ruled out of full withdrawal of its fertile fools is from mckibbin, fasfa versus pensions heat up in the west african country over frances military presence. are these caligula supper as well. there is

a special resentment as to the presence of french military in the region. let's not forget that the french military in the region of the presence of that started back in 2014 with operation. but connie and that has not yielded fruits, as we've seen numerous insurgent groups rising to the stabilized with a health region and particularly countries affect it would be molly, would be chad and became a fossil. and booking of fossil, what we saw on friday was a several hundreds of protest. this mainly young people who marched on the capital of fossil while the 2 groups marching to the monday expulsion of the french ambassador. and the reason, as well as the withdrawal of the french military in the country as a whole, the big knob is blame the french military for the continued insurgency that we have seen in that country. and for most of which tina fossil is problems now when it

comes to france itself, we saw the french li that coming out this weekend, really responding to some of the criticism that he's received with regards to his country's conduct in african state. and the response of france has really been stock splendid, if you will, would be blame any thing and anyone else except themselves, you could do that. but this perception is fed by others. it's a political project. i'm no fool, many influences sometimes speaking on your programs are paid by the russians. we know them a number of powers who want to spread their influence in africa are doing this to hurt. france hurt its language so doubts, but above all, pursue certain interests. the problem with emanuel mac, crohn, and i guess numerous presidents will before him is that they is almost no recognition of the agency that africans want. this is not something that is happening in as one of a fed country. there is

a wave of anti french sentiment that has really been growing in the hell countries in west africa. and the most beautiful of france's critics came from its neighbor, you know, surprisingly enough of the new italian prime minister, giorgio maloney who really went to town with regard to francis failing on the continent. and that they should stop playing a political game with people's lives square. so monday, you know, this is a child who works in a gold mine in booking foster. it's one of the poorest nations in the world from sprints colonial money, from a quino faso, which has gold in return they demanded 60 percent of everson, burkina, faso exports and jump in the coffers of the french treasury. the goal, the child goes down the tunnel to extract mostly items up in the coffers of the french states. so the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to europe

. the solution is to free africa from satin europeans who exploited allowed these people to leave off what they have. what the french have failed to recognize is that africa is going through its own change that every country has its own developmental aims. and they even need to quell the insurgency and insecurity that has really the best that itself upon the hell countries, particularly in west africa, france has to be look at its relationship with it, with the former colonies, and now independent african state. it means an interest section. but more than anything, it's very easy to blame raja right now if europe has really made russia into a boogeyman, that's not how russia viewed here on the continent. there was much isn't protest way young people were carrying reactions, leg and hurling and drink slurs. and that should tell you something about the sentiment that is on the ground and what people expect out of

a partner. that's why more and more young african looking eastwood's for a new partner that they can really rely on. earlier we spoke with coffee clark, who a senior research fellow of the university of johanna's, the says the continent is moving away from the sphere of european influence. one hand, the fringe of telling everybody and publicly internationally that they are living the african continent living model, either working at 1st so and then they're moving somewhere else. forget it in going to happen in the can't do it with a pain. there's a rolling way, almost so none of the reality of african that are coming to slap french, french in the space and it started with the president. if we took a very close and honest, you're a french friends, french's legacy,

call them you legacy and do an audit. frankly. francis failed. and the recognition that france is still is still very difficult for french to not just recognize it, but to swallow it and come to the table and say, look, let's get rid of the choking when you're handcuffs. and then you want print. we also called the cash 6 with me hiding the private parts and then discuss brinkley because africans are now looking for different partners partners that are looking for when, when you've mentioned it. and i think russia is emerging as one of the china has already been there. many of them are coming up and in the sense africans are looking for something that can help them to grow and develop better than what they've seen before. we don't want to see africans painfully traversing the mediterranean sea to die to go to france. while the rest of this news, our up met still in pizza labelle on plus. so i will be back here the top of the alpha

with i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about personal intelligence at that point, obviously is too late trust rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with obama protective foam existence with a

with hello and welcome to cross top. were all things considered? i am peter lavelle, nato's ukraine proxy war against russia almost spiraled out of control. after was erroneous, lee reported russia fired a missile into poland. this uminski regime and its many western bankers couldn't believe their good fortune. finally, it was just to vacation to start a hot war against russia. alas, cooler heads prevailed, at least for now, ah, discuss these issues and more and joined by my guess when these in oslo, he's a professor at the university, southeastern norway, as well as author of the book, great power politics in the 4th industrial revolution. and in budapest we have

george sent me well, he's a pod, the goggle, which can be found on youtube and locals are a gentleman, cross that rules and effect. that means he can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. while i start out with ga ga, what are what a difference a week can make um, we have this, i'm calling this program the, the missile of november. you obviously understand the reference here, but it's nothing to take lightly, particularly since on this program we have been predicting such a possible predicament would face the world. what do you make of all of a here we had claims counter claims on poland almost and went to article 4, which would be the step before article 5. and then we had the bite administration, essentially the snippet in the bud in the very beginning. how do you make, how do you, how do you account for all of these things that are playing out at the same time? go ahead george. well,
