ah, a story of this our, the union state of rush, i'm by the root all the really close to eastern european allies, a tension on the west and ball going down to the far right space, the video possible in that for the 2nd time in 24 hours as heavy razzles as like residential buildings and they came with them. so the decision to with

child justice a good morning. good afternoon. good evening. when ever you are in the world. welcome to international. this just comes a 2nd. look at today's top stories. a person has visited neighboring bella route for the 1st time in 3 years for the top level negotiations with this counterpart, i was on the shank on a wide range of issues that he does discuss ways to increase economic cooperation despite the western factions and put it up for support for training beller, russian forces to work with the latest russian military technology. the mistakes

she would even like to combat coordination of the military units of our countries is being carried out on the territory fellow received a unified air defense system has been creed to you and is on duty humidity. i consider it possible to continue the implementation of the proposal of the presence of belarus on training, the crews of combat aircraft, of the bell russian army, which are re equipped for the possible use of munitions with the special war head we. i emphasize that this form cooperation is not our initiative. b, u. s. has been conducting to similar activities with its nato allies for decades. but such measures are important in connection with the tense situation on the union states external the orders you mean after a total of 4 hours spent together, including face to face and with their delegations. weimer putting in, alexander lucas shanker, came out to journalists to brief the media on the results of monday's intensive talks. deep and constructive. as both liter is described. russia and bella rows have historically had very close ties always, but especially after the beginning of moscow special built operation in ukraine

that borders ballmer says, well, this is what republicans 1st visit to the capital means since 2019 before their ping damage. but far from a rare meeting with hayes bell originally counterpart, as lucas shanker said, i meet booking very often and some western countries either in our water in about it and then the, the russian residence trash that monday's talks come had made the very loud outside skepticism about the nature of the relations between moscow and means k. a tickler eats equality with some claims. heard about belarus, being observed by russia. lucas. shank assured that the relations are based on mutual respect and interest. he said that the relations have always been strong and will only be getting stronger. to illustrate that the trade turnover between moscow and means has already heat the rack. heard and he is expected to reach 40000000000 dollars this year. not only in economic butting defense and security spheres as

well. moscow means kachim teetering talk operate very closely today. lucas shanker announced that beller was put is, can darren s 400 complex is provided by russian. com but to duty? so their relations will always be strong. and no one will be able to drive a wedge between us as lucre shenker said, although they tried what more potent added that the west does not want to see strong thus dangerous for them, the rivals on the international arena. and this is why moscow means we'll continue hearing these voices and this noise. and with these skepticism from outside tally, sounded like a shanker even joked about it. doyle, i'm sure, well, you know, the 2 of us are quite rosters. the most harmful toxic people on these plotted were we have only one disputed who is more surf to you. mister prudent says that i am sure, and i'm starting to think that he is. well,

we have decided together that dick would. we've applied my poker's visit to maine square. heard a lot from here about potential asians of monday's talk, excluding moskos. a parent attempts to convince lucas shanker to join moscow's special military operation, as well as even when launch had joined the ground offensive against going from the territory on melrose. i have been able to speak about that. the, with the russian president spokesperson dmitri briscoe. this is how he commented on that teacher. i didn't raise key again yet elsie ukrainian general said that moscow is preparing together with feller is a ground operation against ukraine from the belly ruffian territory. and that's why vladimir putin came to minsk. can you comment on that? what is the name of the ukranian general? i guess to lose any illusions he needs to rest. he is overworked. at the end of the i'm, are you there to literacy results a lot about sunday's beef a match between france and argentina, both bush and can put an agreed that the 2 teams were stronger and perform the

really high quality football. but as it happens and it should happen and live the strongest winds. hello, this is a member of the russian by a collective security treaty with knives asian and lions of pacific countries. mince is the chair, the group next year, with large scale emergency drills planned on his territory. the lowest current chief says those exercises represent a means of the service. i mean, escalating tensions on been a ruse and russian borders long looks we clearly see how many c s t o events are being held on august and borders in bell or us. i mean, 1st of all, the exercises that are taking place with simply ration and we consider this a sort of mazda strategic deterrence, which is sufficient in this situation. give me a number of similar exercise is a plan for bowers, next year, ocean to the status on this to us. we heard from former u. s. defense policy,

alice michael maloof, who says it has delivered a strong signal to the worst with his recent visit to but arose. but i suspect this was beginning to do is send a signal to the west that if ukraine continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing. and that they could activate c a c o which include members of, of context on our media, kyrgyzstan and take a stand. that would be a and under the c. s t o, like nato's article 5. c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all. i think it's mr. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step. short of new killer. of course. he's already stated,

he's not going to be using nukes unless the main, unless the federation itself is massively attacked. and i would presume that by nato. meanwhile, the donor on the don't boss, the c o donors has suffered yet another series of overnight to the stripes. why the grand forces the hospital court in the line of fire, the 2nd time in 24 hours. kids know he lost at least 15 heavy rounds into the regional capital. the shells hit the medical center as well as neighboring civilian areas in the homes and kindergarten to people who feel the grades up to the bottom of the hospital. the previous night was a little was initially stroke all of the same day that ukraine's presence. and as you spoke about this piece and reiterated his accusations that russia was responsible for the conflict crane strives for peace,

more than anything else. we offer this formula to the world wars lastly, and peace is to become the champion. mean law farmers, sir, is he still acts as russian efforts to pursue a cease for in ukraine. a quote, completely meaningless. as the u. k is repulsive the set to provide another 250000000 pounds worth of military aid to keep our teens marina closer of reports. while more and more prominent figures are encouraging peace talks between russia, ukraine, the west is trying to make sure things stay as they are. we must be clear that any unilateral call for a cease fire by russia is completely meaningless. in the current context. i think it would be a false call. we have no illusions that to a true peace negotiation that would be possible in the immediate future. it's our

job to continue to sustain our military support to ukraine. so they are in the best possible position on the battlefield. so that if and when diplomacy is ripe, they will be in the best possible position at the negotiating table. that moment is not right now. of course, the slow. now let's send ukraine a few more $1000000000.00, fell some more weapons tried to ostracize russia a little bit more. and who cares how many more people lose their lives? well, this time it was former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, who spoke in favor of peace talks. the time is approaching to build on the strategic changes which have already been accomplished and to integrate them into a new structure towards achieving peace through negotiation. how their, who that was pretty much the reaction from key f right away. unfortunately, even after 10 months of war, mister kissinger did not understand anything, neither the nature of this war nor its impact on the world's order. henry kissinger

has states that, that last may he propose the states fire line along the borders existing before the special military operation began, which would see russia abandon these 4 new territories and hold on. so crimea, and that would become subject of further negotiations after the fire. and we've already heard a similar proposal from eland mosque. remember, it also didn't go down very well whether one likes it or not. crimea is absolutely seen as a core part of russia by russia. crimea is also of critical, national security importance to russia, as it is their southern naval base. from their standpoint. losing crimea is like the united states losing hawaii and pearl harbor. he was ridiculed scrutinized and dismissed as a propagandist for proposing and negotiated solution. and now we have a political heavy weight with decades of experience proposing a similar plan. and everyone's mocking him for it's all supporters of simple

solutions should remember the obvious an agreement with the devil, and that piece of the expense of ukrainian territories will be a victory for putting and the recipe for success. for autocrats around the world, the preferred all calm for some his, a russia rendered important why the war i disagree for all is propensity to wireless. russia has made decisive contributions to the global aqua libra young and to the balance of power for over half or millennium is historical role should not be degraded, but it seems that the west is seek and exactly that, and will not stop until russia is the graded weekend and humiliated something which is highly unlikely, a term that the west likes to use. so how many more people have to die? how many countries have to suffer before the west realizes that it is time to encourage peace talks instead of arms sales?

we heard from jersey and also daniel lazara, who says you cruise with the tool, the u. s. government, i think negotiations are i should, should definitely take place. they're more urgent now than ever. but they've got to be realistic in order, in order to succeed and realistic needs. recognizing that there are certain territories that russia will not and really cannot give up. the u. s. a know, extended nato, farther and farther to the east with the idea of essentially surrounding and crippling. right. and eliminating it as a major military power. and so, so certainly that, that tendency that long march has led to the lead lead to the war and is leading to the destruction of the ukraine. but the u. s. doesn't care because it's perfectly

happy to sacrifice the ukraine, to its own interest. but then again, it's also happy to sacrifice the e u to its own interests. and that's exactly what we're seeing. energy and use. now the ease leadership is agreed to impose a price cap on a natural gas supply that 180 years per megawatt hour. despite several members said, expressing strong opposition, the netherland says the restrictions are unsafe for centuries, supplies of the crystal commodity all to contributor ratio margin as well. while the ink is even dry on this new eve, gas price kept struck to day and already the hungarian foreign minister is sounding the alarm on more potential tinder, being added to this total dumpster fire of bad policy that the block has created for itself. it's too bad that doesn't keep us warm here in the you because everything would be all set. so have

a listen to the hungarian foreign minister. what he had to say. the price come to be introduced to natural gas is bud harmful and dangerous, but it's still being introduced despite this. so today it's another big bottle with brussels now hungry knows what it's talking about. when it comes to price caps, they tried imposing a cap on gasoline and diesel prices just in the past year. specifically to protect hungarian households in the run up to the countries parliamentary elections in april. and they ended up having to nick, sit earlier this month. why? because foreign companies cut their fuel shipments to hungary, causing supply shortages. now that led to panic, buying and long lines gas station. so it's no wonder that hungry voted against the european union. now trying to do pretty much the same thing and capping the price, it now says that it will be willing to pay for gas ostensibly to project european households. so this price count of a $180.00 euros is well below the $275.00 euros that the european commission wanted, which would have been so high that you have to wonder. it's almost ridiculous. you

have to wonder if they just wanted to make a symbolic p r gesture with all of this. just to be able to tell europeans, look, we're doing something for you while actually doing nothing. if only because doing virtually anything else. risk screwing up, supply and pricing for the e you more than they already have. every time they pound the desk, slap on anti russian sanctions than wait to see what other damage they've caused for themselves. this time, a handful of european countries wanted a much lower cap and the energy minister of one of those nations chris cost us stretches, has said that quote, anything between a $150.00, under $190.00 euros to a 100 would work. i think a 188 will give the right signals to the markets. not sure that the european union has inspired much confidence as the market whisperer when energy and inflation are

so high as resulted. there are policies, the german gas lobby had said earlier today that the idea of controlling gas prices was a quote, political illusion that was destined to fail in practice. that sounds like a pretty logical assumption if one was looking at this through the prism of actual you know, logic and reason. but as usual for the e u, it's all about virtue signaling about unity cheering, about having come to an agreement, whatever that may be. making europeans think that they're doing something to help the average person, even though the whole reason, the average citizen is in this whole mass to begin with is precisely because of the use constant tinkering. urine polymer mumbo clag day of ireland says the block is quote, cuts in his own throat with its economy restrictions as it exposes its people to increase poverty. worse is yet your. com. so set the i m f in october. europe's economies are being decimated by sanctions. millions of europeans are

going to have to decide between heating and eating this winter. people in poland are burning rubbish to keep warm and the lights are winking in german industry. the russians are laughing at us. the americans are laughing at us, i wouldn't blame them because when europe decided to go to war, it ended up by causing its own throat, i guess is the most important, and the g nowadays, due to the energy change in europe. so this is a huge, huge hit and we are entering into a phase where uncontrolled bureaucrats are grabbing after the industry and taking one step after the next and setting up mechanisms that the you, this uncontrolled rock proceed is taking their group on, on the different areas on the different market within europe, and you can come to the conclusion that you can have the impression that these people are not serving the european people. they are serving other power so such as

at the minute the us or they only got club, they want to go away from the fossil fuels. they want to be industry allies, a europe. they will have the fantastic ideas. we don't work, doesn't work. and we're all the people are suffering as setting their price cap, $180.00 euros. but if you are thinking like hell, then the, then nobody will sell any cubic meter of gas for, for this, for this amount of money. this is a very, very sad day for the european people all next, the latest document links all the so cool twitter floor files claim the f i. officials repeatedly grilled the company's management about censorship on the social media platform ortiz caleb moping. how's the details? so it appears that at a rather politically sensitive time, have members of the intelligence agencies in the united states reach out to twitter

and asked twitter about the activities of what they called propaganda actors on its platform. and the response from twitter was to basically say, there's not much of it, there doesn't seem to be much activity of that kind on our platform. well, the intelligence agencies would not accept that answer. they provided a bibliography of articles from the wall street journal and, and other media outlets talking about how our tea and had been been riding on twitter, et cetera. and it appears that yellow colon, ah, he was quite shocked by. ready response of the u. s. intelligence community to his reporting on what was actually taking place on the platform. here's what he said. i team, the questions we received are attached. i'm frankly perplexed by the request here, which seem more like something we get from a congressional committee than the bureau. there's a big discussion to be had about state controlled media, which will be impacted by the label launch later this month. but i'm not

particularly comfortable with the bureau, demanding written answers here. what's your perspective on how best to navigate? so yo roth is the main sensor at twitter. he was responsible for overseeing the taking down of certain accounts and suppressing of certain voices. but even he was perplexed and shocked by the f b i's response and what they were asking of him. and this points to the fact that there seems to be some interesting gaps in this narrative that we get about twitter being a neutral actor. it seems to feed the idea that the intelligence agencies had a lot of control over it. and it certainly doesn't dispel the idea that twitter wasn't meddling in american politics. now, you'll recall on adam shift the democrat in the u. s. congress that he came forward and talked about how twitter got a free pass. here's what he said. i think we've got a big problem right now with social media companies and their failure to moderate content and the explosion of hate on twitter,

the banning of journalists on twitter. um, i don't think these companies should enjoy an immunity from liability when they behave this way. you know, we can't tell them what to say, not say, but we, we gave them immunity. it seems this immunity that he was describing has been lifted. it's past it's no longer in effect since the alon moscow took control of the platform of twitter, milan mos someone who urged folks to vote republican and the recent us mid term elections. since then, we have seen a lot masika phase, a federal investigation who was twitter deal. there has been around denunciation of law and mosque as a dangerous man, a tyrant. in addition to that, there's been a threat of sanctions from the european union. so we have a situation that now the twitter seems to be in the hands of forces that are not in line with the democrat party. because of that, we now have twitter and, and, and social media giants not, you know, being told they have this immunity. they once had and at this point we have

republicans making the allegation that big tack is really just a wing of the u. s. intelligence agencies. and they're using it for political purposes to meddle in the elections. and they're saying they want to do something about this. i believe that in the end we will find that there's no intelligence of that support the f b i doing this, that this is a, a campaign by the f b i. that really is outside of the bounds of anything we would expect them to do. and certainly in a very constitutionally troubling who's the mastermind. and since this is not based on intelligence, this is not formal. i'd actors that the malign actors around with the f b. i themselves, who is it that's relating this? we have an ironic situation here where the f, b, i and their attempts to snuff out what they call for an actors is actually revealing their own mouth. these are revealing their efforts to cover up the hunter by laptops, danville, and other other efforts that they made to kind of nudged whitter to operate in certain ways. and it certainly, you know, this bits of pattern in the new revelations that are coming along,

which seemed to indicate the twitter was certainly not a free and open space. and there certainly was a partisan agenda being carried out by this very important tech platform. since we going through the c e o must have been shaheer being sorry, foam one of his most recent loan with quicken bio, as opposed to decide whether he would remain at the top post for more details, check out our website proxy dot com while the to the files they had toll on the democrats, reputation's pauses, and officials are making their own move. a democrat lead congressional committee household, the justice department, charged rival republican full of president donald trump, was inciting an insurrection. fulls of, i'd say, was i, and obstruction. congress are also does sit in the accusations presented all for a year and a half of investigations into the general 6 moines from capitol hill. trumpeters,

the claims have been fabricated by federal law enforcement officials in cahoots with democratic policy. the people understand that the democratic bureau of investigation, the d. b, i are out to keep me from running for president because they know all when and that this whole business of prosecuting me is just like impeachment was a partisan attempt to sideline me. and the republican party, this is a, a non biting binding referral to the justice department. so this will be in the hands of her, in general, mary, garland, to the term will determine whether or not he foreign to pursue criminal charges against president trump. i'm going to court here is the process of indictment. i've been from there that would be the question of whether or not please reach out to perhaps avoid real time. we've never had a situation where a former president has received jail time, the united states. so there may simply be an agreement that he'll plead guilty to a crime be charged and then be forbade from run for office going forward,

but could avoid jail time. the new times is spot controversy with the shape of crossword puzzle that is published on the 1st day of the jewish celebration of konica. some people say looks like i saw sick or nazis will. psycho disgusting. only the new york times would get hanukkah going with this is the crossword puzzle. imagine what they would do to someone who did this and was not ideologically aligned with them. i'll give them the same benefit of the doubt. they would give those people exactly 0. the new york times has had a hard time telling the truth about israel and jews. this week they published a crossword in the shape of a swastika. today's new york times crossword is making me nervous for well it says the us in favor of record i she had a rather positive outlook on the rising fascist leader. as you can see in these headlines now, a number of other newspapers have reported about the source code controversy,

including the jerusalem post, which a firm the puzzle borne uncanny resemblance to the nazi symbol. the neil tiles has responded by saying the course was simply as a common design for the genre. close alive now to put to alice, i'm just john rody john, great to see. thanks for joining us here and see what did make of the timing of this. is this a coincidence and nazi symbol published in a popular mainstream media on the 1st day of this st. clinton jewish all day? it's absolutely not a coincidence. did senior editors approve this highly unlikely in a radical anti submitted group within the new york times crew create the sick? absolutely atrocious drug? yes, most likely. they knew what they were doing a waiting for the 1st day of hanukkah to release this, you know, and this is the 3rd time it's happened in the new york times crossword section in 9 years. so they had been warned before about this or 20142017. and they did it again

. i mean, someone signed off on that. someone obviously who knew what they were doing, signed off on that. and then don't forget the context. you know, this is, this is a newspaper that is the bastion of a bind administration, which has been really quite as a very dubious policies towards israel towards the jewish community. and which we know supports a radical far right regime in kia, that glorifies nazi collaborators. then your times glorifies the, you know, the regime in kia. so in some ways, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. we'd love to see the face of them are they like to make an apology mission statement and they have said it's a popular shape, but we'd like to hear anything from them again. i mean, well, we'll see probably not. maybe they will have

a some pang of conscious and they're probably you'll find some excuse. oh, it's a universal symbol. it's ancient symbol as the buddha symbol right. i'm sure the weasel are way out of it. they will not take responsibility and they will not dismiss the. busy people behind it again, i'm saying with most certainty, i believe there's a, you know, we know that there is a radical liberal group within the new york times. we know that this is, you know, there's been other incidences with them. they're very bad record of civil liberties . freedom of speech and freedom of the press and you're inside the york times so i could see them again. this has been someone really organized this john newman man. interesting point a 2nd ago about how the new york times linked with near nazi eastern eastern ukrainian. that sort of sort of remarks if you like. but we are going to see other west and outlets perhaps pick up

on this to repeat something similar to continue this empty semitic castle. i was call this sick, very sick, every symmetric you know, it's, i don't think so. i mean that the american media has some american media, obviously those more lines, the republican party, they have covered this. of course the jewish media has covered this issue, but otherwise 95 percent of the major media, our culture out of the democratic party, close to our new york times and they're not going. busy to run with this story, as we say, they're going to try to shut it down as soon as possible. and the job cycle dates hate sweet continues sadly, john valerie janice, thank you so much for joining us here today on until the visa. thanks again for your time. well, the routes of this news, our african mal is next. be sure to check that out, will be here at the top of the hour with boy special needs. so we'll hope you enjoy

this. ah, with i've actually found safety in the embraces. naziism is that you all of a sudden you're placed in a position where i can defend myself. now, i don't have to be afraid any more. on one hand, i'm terrified that they're going to find out i'm jewish, but on the other, i think it's so far away. i distinctly remember my mom sitting me down one night and her st. john, they're going to hurt. one guy hunch me behind my ear and heard somebody shot now, and the rest of the punches are started flying. can somebody shouted out, died, you boy died. and at that point i knew they're stuck back. remember i had an indian doctor. they came in and looked and said,

there is no medical reason why you should be allowed to find something to believe. john story is a story of ho story, victory and whatever i can do to help him i would go ah, the hello and welcome to africa. now this week we focused on the recent human climate change conference that was held in the egyptian resort town of sharon north. chef. nearly 35000 people from 200 countries attended the conference which organizes hell as a barometer for checking global efforts in fighting climate change. however, many commentators say that this conference has become really a so case for the global north and the 1st world west to dictate the politics and

economics of climate change. and this is the sentiment that is particularly acutely felt here in africa. i chatted with independent journalist, gary alfonso who closely monitored the conference and the input of african delegates and asked him what were the main takeaways for africa from day one, the most expectation to iraq with was to address loss and damage. just energy and climate justice and those were the things they wanted on the agenda, but from day one was very clear that that was not going to happen. i think it was probably best expressed by the chairman of the pan african climate justice alliance, who was very upset from the outset that those issues were not included to be discussed at all during the scope. 27, the african aspirations while tardy to be carried by on what we are holding, especially under circumstances for africa, that this was to define what it would mean by the laws are dropping due to the back

of let me did. a global commodities are, as well as an optician finance edition action, which is really beneficial to africa or then play with finance, where the agenda was being said, all africa. why united under the special needs. i'm 2nd during the agenda setting. we have lost that, so that means in our last analysis that we have lost. what we came for here. so they're majority industrialized companies out there we but we love our c. it's any seems ironic that the conference was held here in africa when you consider that the company emissions from africa are far less than carbon emissions from western countries. absolutely, and i think all african delegates were very clear and actually spoke with one voice

towards the, the western and global north partners about vague climate targets and also the fossil fuel and energy, the own rules that they apply to themselves globally. and, and i think at the some bob, when delegation expressed it so well when they pointed out that none of the international partners, particularly western european countries, have submitted any targets or 2 to 2 cop 27. since it started, which means they not playing by the rules, but, but african leaders or african countries are supposed to play by the rules. they african countries submitted there. i mentioned earlier, determined contributions their disease without vicious targets. but now comes the time. when we are that level in the developed countries, we're also supposed to submit their ambitious august, even though denzil, moreover, they failed to meet their obligations under the kyoto protocol from 1997 up to 20,

where they were supposed to just reduce their mission by fight with 2 percent of what do a meeting in 1990, they did not manage to meet these obligations. men in to say, this war issue or form slowing down the rate of we are mitigating our climate is going to cause dia, indeed it's 2 problems to the entire world, entire environment. because we already, we may see some bits. it bit tricky. also from those will just put on the table very, i vicious, i talked this under the miss, nellie tillman contributions. certainly it seems as if there was a double standard a play. would it be fair to sum up and say that african leaders came away very disappointed from this conference that essentially there was nothing in it for them?

none of them that arrived, they had expected to be excluded to such an extent abide by the western alliances and the people that control the economics on the politics of cub trigger 7. and i think one of the same point was made by a delegation from, from kenya who pointed out that the one thing that still remains an overriding issue is the fact that in africa, people still produce many of the re elements that are needed for smart and clean entities in the future and africa again, being excluded from that because it's purely about politics and economics for the north. if congress becomes the producer of the storage capacity by way of betsy, for the transition to see the continent of africa is incredibly blessed with new energy potential. it's blessed with rick critical minerals that the transitional decoys now instead of comb extracting or rather multinational companies extracting this minerals form can go on a, b, b, o, any other applicant, country,

and exporting. and then the continent importing the finished product, a tire post. we should actually all the technology that is going to help power the transition in the rest of the world. so the entrapment that we have in the continent of africa and this is actually a structural deficiency. we export low value added, you know, commodities and visit can use our very limited foreign exchange to port finish for the, at the high cost. and so if you look at all the resources, it's after the, with extracting and uttering the great benefit, it must multinationals. one of the main issues that came up at the conference with climate change. this is a truly felt by farmers in africa who are struggling with unpredictable weather changes and having to come up with innovative ways to grow the crops. johan is a successful south african farmer with a background in mechanical engineering. he is piney of the way,

for tunnel farming in the country by using greenhouses like this one. he controls temperature. and in that way he can control the environment of his crops without her farmers like him are left at the mercy of climate change. and it's devastating impact. mean, my wife stood on the know a carport and cry out out when you start daily, you know, and you see a crop that was growing up for for 5 months, and he's ready to august and all of a sudden the 3 form. and that is what out. you've been a farmer since 1994. has the weather changed a lot in the sense that it's actually impacted the way you foam? well, you realize that you, that you have to stay in step with a climate that, that is for sure, you know, because all of a sudden, you know, you have to take into account humidity, you know, the heat, the cold, something seems deep. all we adapting to the climate change,

are we using technology or we very far behind. we are very far behind because there's too much talk about everything. but the problem to deal with the problem, johan creates the heating and cooling systems. the ideal environment for his crops, they grow based under control, humidity, and light, which protects them against frost, heat and rain. that technology makes climate change more manageable. right now you have the world leaders meeting in egypt to discuss climate change. things. i think that those kind of meetings achieve anything or the real results are farmers like yourself who are working on the ground and making a difference. i will tell you on this through what they babbling about, means nothing to the people in the get out. the farmer is the guy that comes either anti by this, eat, eat. i might a lot of mistakes here. and, but i take that was they teach that i tease and not one of those guys

will come here and be able to form this. i think once you get us but, and you have to try this. no, it's, it's quick. so this could be the future for africa. of course. of course you can, this is so specialized course, the amount of fruit, the amount of return on investment that you can get from this is not compatible with avenue for fi fake this open field outside, you know, because once they train this, you know, they will be sought after climate change has resulted in unprecedented rain in some parts of africa, while drought is destroying other regions. 21000000 people will be dead by the end of february because of famine and broth. i'm joined now by doctor i actually a pediatrician from somalia. dr. thanks so much for joining us. what is the situation right now in your hospital all of our

teaching and i was and then i could read to the vehicle. ready that was was almost dr. we're looking now at pictures we received of children in your hospital. what is their fates are walking. busy miles to come to the hospital from other stories that they have to do the. ready the weight of our world the sources limited. busy again, that is sources are very limited, we are losing a lot of

a lot of issues. and i last because most of the late and run their life, we have shortage of life. and our hospital. is there any hope for these mom nourished and dying children, or is it already too late? let us know how to somebody in our money can they? they promised. ready not fun on that. a lot of mine is dr. james moore and agriculture experts and economists from kenya. dr. thanks for joining us. this recent cop conference. will it have any impact, particularly on the ground here in africa? the be good you, bob, buddy does and if you don't have the big us on book,

even if you come up with very, very key and principal programs to be implemented in terms of mediation in terms of the titian in towns all you know on something to get us will be that the that we are going, we are speaking last year and after the fact that the conference was held in africa, is that a positive or a negative for the continent right from the seventy's, a number of other countries. i started to see major, they live in a gap there being between what they are producing or the consuming. and increasingly, depending on in africa, we talked to the, you know, spans about that $5000000000.00. i mean, so you can imagine if we will be in need of a part that we're hearing is that of climate change, the situation. but if you're coming in in a situation where you whitening got what you up a petition growing, it has only made

a bad situation. was an african governance less the then very seriously. dr. thank you so much for your time. while the waste continues to print clean energy to africa and itself does the opposite. countries like south africa have no choice back to continue to use fossil fuels to power the coal stations for electricity. this is the cheapest and most readily available power source at the country has, but lack of maintenance and bad governance is leaving south africa literally in the dark. the term low trading has become commonplace. and what it means is that the national grid will provide power to some areas that only one area at a time, because it cannot provide power to south africa as a whole. now the former c o. s. com, south africa was utility grid explained why this is the case every minute, every 2nd, you need to match the demand with the supply. once this mismatch,

the entire system become unstable. so, so that's the really the, the big issue. now low treading or cares when see demand, which is higher, the supply than the supply. so you shave the excess demand and it so that your power system is able to supply the reduced demand so that the entire system is stabilized. so this, it, you know, there sir, m m, m m. is it an entity called the m a system operator which or in a minute, 2nd by 2nd is watching this balance. and if they see that it's going to be in balance, then they, you know, they begin to tell everybody to shut down the air herb their supply in most municipality so that they can begin to switch off. second, loads so that they can balance the, the supply and demand and keep the, the passes from stick. this family of 7 is typical of life to gain south africa is

to flash. okay. okay, pretty immolate. a goodly each day. the sisters don't have electricity for at least 2 hours, but sometimes as much as 8, and it's getting worse. often there is no warning, the power is about to cut, which leaves them without like to do homework. amongst other things, despite once having one of the world's most advanced power supply networks, south africans increasingly find themselves returning to using candles, torches, and perfumed stoves for cooking. i have to take my phone. if your phone have, if the better data around one or 2 it midnight, you will wait until in the morning so that you can be able to clinch as you and even more stressful is perishable. foods that go rotten. if not connected to electricity, i have to chuckle i have to, to my a,

my fritchie and my washing machine to my neighborhood so that i can be able to buy enough enough food for the whole month. imagine if i have to go and buy 2 katie every day of em it, you'll have to beg, people with as pace. heartbreaking at the families, reality is saved by as many as 600000000 people in africa who still do not have access to electricity. many of them don't even know what plugins i asked. it's comes jacob more about this case back to the military, things like puffy and coal and you know, for cooking and so and so forth. but those are the kind of solutions that we need to look at to say with the current technologies that are beginning to be available, for instance, gas and renewables. solar, how can we begin to focus and relieve,

especially at the lower end of the income. one of the solutions, of course, could be nuclear, is the something that we would support in the context of climate change and fossil food being, you know, being reduced. yes, renewables is going to take big space, but nuclear is a big carbon free solution in many countries actually either bringing up back from multiple nuclear plant or actually plenty to, to build one plant. because that's also part of the biggest solution in dealing with climate change back in 2015. it seemed as though we were ready to see an agreement between south african russia with regards to nuclear corporation and then excel by the way. why did that agreement not happen, and is they the oppertunity now for it to happen? i think the dynamics of the time, i think it was cost for the nuclear plan that we're looking at. but i think the time is opportunity to revisit because when you look at options in

south africa, we've got co renewables is not going to fill the entire gap. we don't have gas of our own. we have nuclear station already. so nuclear being a solution for that, i figure it's a valid solution. yes, you mentioned to you about, of course, and this was a big topic at the what was the big topic? you mentioned renewables. of course. this was the big topic at the recent cup. climate conference in channel share, in what way is or our renewables realistic for south africa and for africa, let's talk mostly, what are the renewable options? it's solar is wind. in south africa, we do have hydro of solar compared to, for instance, europe. so there is an option renewables of going to limit the intermittent, they are not dispensable. so you still need to spectrum pass a fossil fuel nuclear. hydro gives you what is called respectable. this is that

live. so it was not going to solve the entire problem. technology will evolve where we bring in better storage and other forms of storage, but for now, we still need a lot of fossil and still a nuclear would still be part of the because solutions for energy. the situation seems desperate in some ways, south africa is coal mining, not just a quick solution to providing what people need for me for the next 10 to 1520 years . we still need to depend on coal. we've got a lot of cold. got a lot of power stations that are still in, in good nick. so. so while we're looking at transitional technologies, we still need depend on coal and make sure that our past system is stable until we find technologies which will allow us to, to begin to transition to low emission technology. and in wisdom,

countries are putting pressure on south africa and other countries not to go to coal mining. what is your, what, what are your thoughts on this? many people have talked about the he proxy, especially after the, you know, the, the conflict with the russian and canaan. the guess is where most western european countries actually begin to scramble cross or african coal in circumstances where they want to pay. so africa, to unpack the call that i think the book, the hypocrisy, that when things, when, when things fall apart, people make sure that the secure test. and i think that's the key. we need to be very careful in falling for solutions that are not sustainable based on the interest. so i think that's the thing that i think it's or africa should be careful about the western democracies than the western civilizations and economists were built on fossil foot. the powerful today because they built the economy. so fossil

fuels and the imaging economists like china, india also building the industrial base on force of hoops, africa, which is at the lowest end of development, should be allowed to use energy solutions that can help them develop and move up the chain. that's the 1st, the 2nd thing is when you look at the emissions of africa compared to the work africa as portability. only in about 4 percent, right? so the biggest meters are still western europe, the u. s. and of course, china is amazing, but africa. so traffic has been pressurized to limit their fossil fuel, in circumstances where the alternatives are still not mature. to run modern economies is also a historic issue. you see, climate change is not cost with what you are meeting today. so i made changes cost, what is cumulatively, in the atmosphere over the past 2050 years of a gas television and the industrial revolution, particularly of the west. so, so,

so africa, kind of a very little to that. in fact, now i've been one topic which i think is good coming out of 27 in the actual food pay for reparations of the effect of climate change. you know, the flooding that we've seen, who should pay for that. and the idea that the western countries who contributed mostly to the emission, should actually have a front to, to deal with the effect of climate change, i think, is a positive thing. coming up out of cochran 7, do you think we could see africa distancing itself or putting up more resistance to western pressure on these issues? i don't think more resistance or things just being more effective in to clayton positions, but also begin to say when we partner with the west because they have the sources for the money. be key and drive that partnership that focuses on things that work for africa. but also do not make the emissions width and the opportunities to do

that. so i think more is assertiveness and been clear what africa once been united, as, of course, and looking at, for instance, what china is doing. china is being affective to say, look at the stage of development as we put people out of poverty. this is the image choices that we're, we're, we're, we're, we're putting on the tip, of course was the way some cop conference in shaw moshef in egypt. do you have confidence that the discussions and the resolutions that come out of that conference actually can be fruit and africa? are they in touch with the reality of what's going on on the ground? you see the conference itself, i think is a good thing for people to come together. but the problem is that is not obligated . i mean it's, you know, it's cooperation and people do it out of their own volition and people can opt in and updated. we have seen america opt in and then opt out of kyoto. we've seen america with the paris accord the way in and went out. so it's

a thing that people can go in and go up. china is a big meter. it's not committing much so, so i think this is a good puts, but whether you could deliver on the big promise of major reduction in c o. 2 emissions. i don't see, i don't see that happening because i think it's still, you know, interest commercial interest and leading the big agenda incorporated and the pressure or whatever the right word you face from the west. do you think we will see africa standing up more towards that and saying, we need to go this route regardless of what western countries are telling us. i think if africa gets united and africa also begin to partner with other regions like asia, because asia, for instance, india and felicia the statement that says via they will not be present in the seeing or not increasing the whole usage until the at a particular level of development, i think those kind of voices that are pushing back to the west and africa should

actually putnam all in heavy it's a very solid boys to the west to see where we are. we need to develop and then when, when we are at a particular point, we can begin to see how we mitigate and begin to reduce our sue to foot and russia . do you see russia playing a, a growing role with african countries? we are in this current energy dynamic because, you know, it actually is good resources of investors that pop and come with, with, with natural gas resources. so it's going to play a big part in the energy lucian going forward and how russia place, you know, it's, it's a role in the developing nations and in its own role in the politics of energy. i'm going to be a big, big sector, how you know, the big countries also begin to look at themselves as a brock, to talk about energy and the job politics of energy with wind voice. i think it will have a big impact in the world. yes. for 2 weeks,

delegates to come. 27 deliberated debated and search for answers while sipping on told minimal water. a world away from the draft on the doorstep for africans the conference has come and gone, and their situation on the ground remains as desperate as ever will continue to bring you the true story here and our weekly african now show. thank you so much for joining us and feel free to drop us a line with suggestions, questions or feedback from me and the team until we meet again. good by the oh, i think the other one majority of you crying in sleep will actually reconcile, reconcile themselves to pace. i'm not, i don't, i don't a me,

i'm sure, and i would try to do that. i will resist any kind of compromise, any, any, any and then and to will and you lost territory. loss is not really much. we can mix up with our is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led? direct? what is true? what is faith?

in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah, so if i live this out of the union state of russia, i'm with allies agreed by with the low west and borders. great out to the if i had a severe hospital in the us for the 2nd time in 24 hours, a heavy route also like residential buildings and in the dark, russia condemned the decisions with the blocks from the state.
