seen so the west rhetoric is at odds with hard realities on the ground in ukraine. the chinese are presented to proposal and it is believe the u. k. france and germany are cobbling together a plan for zalinski. but are they willing to talk to russia a the 2 main opposition parties in nigeria call to nullify the presidential election, stating that preliminary results are a show on the voting process. being manipulated. uganda on south africa are set to strengthen by lateral cooperation as the ugandan president calls for stronger trading relations between this state. and i'm confident in general, during a visit to the country with the u. s. secretary of state,

praise is washington's humanitarian help for the people up. and despite its own going on the supplies to the study led coalition doubt, ball making the war stricken country. we hear from a red cross representative about the situation today in your mind is that 30000000 people are struggling not only with an ongoing conflict with no clear resolution in view, but also from getting lots of infrastructure, limited access to all the basic needs. a broadcasting from our international news center in the russian capital. this is our team good to have your company today. the 2 main opposition parties in nigeria are demanding the results of somebody's general election. be declared nolan void. they allege voter fraud in africa, the most populated nation branding,

the whole process, the show r t correspondent, co rabo letter takes up the story. always political parties, that is labor as well as the pdp, the peoples democratic party have both now simultaneously and in one joined press conference called for the cancellation of this election. this follows cause that have been made by both parties individually. since yesterday we saw the watching out of the boucher coalition center by boat political parties, labor as well as the peoples democratic party, claiming that they cannot, they cannot see the furnace or the freeness of this elections, particularly the fed transparency. now they have been protests that we have seen and heard of from, from where we are a lego city in we're ready parts of the city as well. 2 as in a cage up, which is the more affluent part of the city. and that is where we went to,

to look at the, at some of the election materials that have been said to be destroyed, which was next to the apple of the state, which is the king of the state in that, if that part of the world and that's way you really get to see how the other half lives as it were. but we, we understand that not only have have the election material being destroyed, but we understand that now that both really to call parties are calling for the constellation of the entire thing. and largely that is seen as more than just the gripe by some of the locals that you're finding here on the streets of legal. they say that that they are worried that the margin of victory given if it be a pdp or i labor party victory, that those margins continue to be narrow. while the margins of victory for the incumbency of the apc continues to be wired. and why then that suggested that there

is some money violation when it comes to how these results have been said out. now, dennis, only some of the issues. yes. the other issue of course is that which comes from the american government as it were. we've seen members of the national democratic institute as well as the international republican, is the truth, that both of the american political parties which have come to be represented here in the nigerian elections, alongside the politicians from either the house of representatives or the senate. but the interesting part is that we are seeing this invisible hand of the american government here and its interest in africa most populous election. and one only wonders to which extend the american influence can really expand and get

involved in this election. we are left with more questions than answers as to why the country that often accuses others of meddling in the political process of other countries. why it's finding itself more and more in trace within the african democratic process as well as is peace negotiations. here on the continent that we have theme in what happened in the if the o, b and piece process and just how much the american hand was involved in that. now we are left wondering, but the unity, when you watch nigerian television, you wonder as to the high level of american commentary that is often afforded space . you went on which level just are they afforded this phase and just how much they want to influence the machinations of what's going on here on the ground? well, we've been getting reaction for the day to the results coming in, including from a house of representatives,

candidate for the opposition people's democratic party, who said it must be accepted, that some hopefuls will win on some will lose. let me said is especially i snugly. i'm not in agreement, it is 11 o'clock if so, so anyway, so lose this election. did we say fraud, battle for walking out in? ah, 24th. i mean, do still need, you know, we are going to let you know when the, when we're, when we let not come, we don't watch it on our own before. well, we the election. we act who live by to los sits on that. yeah. well it, well really initial, where would the president lost the states? who really we are really national. we had the like just the law. does it economy because we did last, it was laws, we bought a new when i got

a new principal. but so to me my, my, this is lashawn use at least before with a message good. and we, we got to go beautiful there. well, it's been a big national a termite for nigeria. elections and r t will make sure you don't miss any of the big developments from last turning into a fractious ending to the vote. all there online. we've got you covered with me. well, uganda and south africa are set to strengthen by law. real tight. the ugandan presidents trip to africa most developed economy, began on tuesday with a cold for stronger trading relations between the nations and the need across the continent. as a whole, ortiz correspondence, no lube oil convey,

has more laughter, can press the settled. i'm a poor, so has wall come cheese, ugandan counterparts? president your weird in was savannah for a state visit? the last day to visit to south africa by president was the vin. it took place in 2011. this gap in summer came as the result of poor quality of products from uganda. in high visa fees also became an obstacle preventing ugandan products from coming into south africa. now this visit is direct said at consolidating bilateral ties between the 2 countries. what discussions between the 2 heads of state taxes, i'm economy, continental and international issues? was there any, is accompanied by several cabinet ministers in a business delegation aiming to boost trades, an investment relations between the 2 nations. and as we know, uganda is the one south africa's largest trading partners on the continent. and are

figures of struggling to improve relations that i'm opposed to save. this is the beginning of many opportunities between but now it seems like business between the 2 countries is expanding the prisons in each other's market, which again, the exports to south africa totaling $11000000.00, while imports were over $220000000.00 during 2020 with both countries now saying that they can to war and even go uganda has had little success in penetrating the south. african market change is and away and thus visit is an example off of that. none of we are kuhn g r t to hand his berg. ah, a tremendous difference. that's how the us state secretary house describes both washington on the west impact on resolving the yemen crisis, unfamiliar blink, and praise the funding being sent to the conflict stricken country. the monitoring

crisis in yemen remains an issue where our collective action has made and can continue to make a tremendous difference. in 2022, the united states provided nearly $1100000000.00 and humanitarian assistance to yemen. the largest us contribution to the country since the conflict began. we encourage everyone, especially those in the region to join us in giving generously the international community best to all we can to help and this war because for millions of emmys, our support is a matter of life or death. but money isn't the only thing. washington's been sending in connection with the m in crisis since the start all the conflict, almost a quarter of all us arms exports have gone to saudi arabia, which is leading a military operation against the jamini who see forces that why ties reportedly blocked legislation that would have stopped sales last year, we discussed the issue with the executive director of the world beyond war movement

and also a yamini journalist. it's not fair to, he is, see the united states talking about the problems that to him and he's on facing the united states is a problem itself. they have been selling the watkins, including miss hans to a saudi arabia and its allies on the region to pump the how many people me personally in my neighborhood has been bumped by a saudi arabia using american miss size. you can't even compare with has been paid to the human people during eighty's voltage. what has been paid to the ukrainian story with conflict. we had only the clumps of what the it was. so it's all pain to have all the countries. this is a conflict that's been created and has been exacerbated and continued by the u. s. government, not just with the drone killings and not just with the weapons to saudi arabia, but also through u. s. participation in the war. candidate biden was going to end the war and the

weapon supplies, and treat saudi arabia as a parias state. now it's now it's almost, you know, an act of betrayal to the democratic party to remember that as so, you know, we, we have a great deal to look for in terms of, of, of humanitarianism i and the united states is not the leading supplier of humanitarian aid to the world. despite the u. s. praising it's a t. m, and humanitarian organizations are sounding the alarm over what they say is the under funding of charity programs in the country. the u. n. has fallen short by around 3 quarters of its $4000000000.00 target for donations this year, which humanitarian groups slumming. the shortfall as disgraceful the international community to day showed it has abandoned yemen at this crucial cross roads with a mayor quarter of the amount needed to support the millions of yemenis here

require urgent assistance. this is woefully inadequate and gives the signal that some humans a less valuable than others. the consequences of this disgraceful shortfall in 8 will undoubtedly be dire for the people of yemen. for 8 years he em and has been suffering from a humanitarian crisis. due to the ongoing conflict, though we're 21000000 people are in dire need of humanitarian aid. according to international laid agencies of them more than 2000000 children are in the brink of death suffering from acute malnutrition. while almost 18000000 emily's don't have access to safe drinking water. we spoke to the regional spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross who sees the situation in the country as worsening daily. a few months ago i visited yemen for the 1st time in my humanitarian career. and let me tell you that the imagery of, of human suffering i've seen there will haunt me forever. this was not thing like

a scene before in my humanitarian career. i've seen families of 6 and more surviving daily on a too low. so breads are dipped in water and this was their diet that including other imagery that was that the word should dirt should not ignore and look away from today. the reality in yemen is that 3030000000 people are struggling not only with an ongoing conflict with a nor clear resolution in view, but also crumbling vital infrastructure. limited access to all the basic needs, including food, water, health, electricity, a very intense human economic situation that is affecting the livelihood and every corner in yemen, a fund for sure to dress is not a situation that only the international red cross is flagging. this is a reality for all humanitarian actors which makes the situation even extra dangerous. just to give you an example. 2021 pledge in a number for

a human 8 operation collectively only 50 percent to day 27 percent of it was reached. so it is a pattern that has been happening for the last few years and is impacting only humanitarian actors, pushing them to cut their programming to cut their activities. and the price is being paid by the millions of humanities that really are relying today on these activities to be able to access the most basic of the of the services. which means that more yemenis world sleep, hungry to nights, ah, 2 and more children will not be able to go to school. more women will not be able to deliver in a, in, in hospitals us to access life season health care. this is the reality of 8 fonts shorted as well, sending advanced western bottle tanks to key. it has been

a big topic for months now for to prospective suppliers. after pledges were made by the u. s. and germany, both parties now appeared to have a different interpretation of what was actually great. here's the most recent message from berlin. it these of dish. i have no intention to comment on sullivan's interpretation or remarkably well, but i'm going to show you how the federal government on the federal chancellor received his talks as an american president obama. those were good constructive talks in which both sides always made sure that we came to a joint approach. it gave you crank the best possible sport and how to put on itself. it just $12.00 minds on for, for that statement comes out for more lengthy, one i'd of washington were a recollection of productive talks, appeared forgotten by the u. s. president. it follows a back and forth between the western allies on who would send the advanced heavy weapons 1st. it ended up taking the american pledge of what was initially a single abrams tank,

which subsequently grew to $31.00 for germany to cross the line as well. i'm promise it's leopard to tax. here's the u. s. national security advisers taken her offensive off. he recently decided against sending them because his military told him that they would not be useful on the battlefield in his fight, but would be useful, would be german tanks. so in the interest of aligns unity and to ensure that ukraine got what it wanted, despite the fact that the abraham's aunt, the tool they need, the president said, okay, i'm going to be the leader of the free world. i will send a bram's down the road if you send leopards. now. while political scientist, an international security analyst mark slip, beaudet believes the tanks in question won't deliver ukraine victory. to be perfectly honest, neither of these 2 main battle tanks, neither the, the modern leopards nor the u. s. abrams are appropriate for ukrainian forces who have not trained on them for years. when the u. s. provided them to saudi arabia in

iraq, their programs to train their military's up to use these tanks were 5 and 7 years respectfully. so the idea that they're just going to send over a few dozen tanks and give regime forces are just going to jump into the turrets and drive off and achieve some type of victories is frankly, in the, it's pure propaganda. it's, it's, it's ludicrous in, in military terms. it is pure political symbolism. ah, the abrams are even heavier and, and more technically complex for, for the untrained user. then the leopards, but only marginally, which is why the us doesn't want to see them sent and, and see them perform badly and destroyed on the battlefield. the pentagon's making certain information on u. s. involvement in ukraine. public. several defense officials have testified in

the 1st to open hearing on oversight of u. s. military equipment to ukraine. officials claim their keeping a close eye on the money sent to keith, while also admitting the conflict could last another 3 years. i think we have had a lot of oversight on this effort from the very beginning right now. and i've asked this question, we are getting every single weapon system that we can to ukraine. there is not a decision being made about, and that might be escalate. tori, can you tell us roughly how much money has been given total to the ukraine war effort since we began lashire? well, it depends a little bit how you count it, but i believe it's over a 113000000000 approximately. i think the point from our matter of u. s. policy is that, that the importance of getting after corruption in ukraine or anywhere else is at the top of of our points of emphasis with ukranian leaders. a former un weapons inspector scott ritter believes the claim of having any oversight on the money

being sent to ukraine is only used to click kate, the american taxpayer. i had to laugh when he said, you know, dealing with ukrainian corruption is at the top of the list notes at the bottom of the list. because if it was at the top of the list, you would never have given you train any money because you can't account for it. now the fact of the matter is, there's little doubt that 6070 percent of the financial resources that the united states provided to ukraine has disappeared, is in getting to the intended target has been, uh, you know, sequestered by, of the innumerable corrupt hands that are reaching out to, to be patted by american dollars in on the military side of, you know, again, noticed the, the non answers. so, you know, we were investigating, we don't have an answer. if you've been on top of this, from the very beginning, you'd have an answer. there are no answers because we're not on the top of it. and the reason why we're not on the top of it is because we wouldn't be able to do this

if the truth came out to the american people. about how over a $115000000000.00 of us taxpayer money has been squandered in ukraine. now a large crowd of demonstrators in moldova, have been making a stand against the country's pro. you'd government formed earlier this month? o. thousands on the streets them under the countries present among us some to reside for soaring energy prices. being seen that was raleigh and also brought cardboard effigies of the leader which they ripped apart and stumped them to evidently express their frustrations earlier. local authorities had restricted access to the area to try and prevent more demonstrators from entering this city center. on this footage shows the crowds marching in downtown kitchen out the nation's capital. the

anti government rally brought together residents from several, moldova, and cities. local journalist briefly ticks us through. now, what brought people lodge on to the streets for hours and winter in the hood for we are in the center of juice. now we see tempers are rising as protesters demanding the government pay their utility bills marching on the city's main official building. the protests which began this past autumn have been gained strength since gas and electricity costs have skyrocketed over the winter. residents are angered by government policies. they say have caused the economic problems you believe. now, the biden administration's thrown its weight behind a controversial mass surveillance program, which will come to an end this december if congress doesn't vote to extend it, not. it permits the government to spy on any non us citizen outside americas borders. but at the same time allows the snooping on any communications between those targets. and you asked nationals with more on what kind of future it's

expected to have. here chart is caleb martin. the u. s. congress sized being urged by the, by the administration to renew this very controversial spying program. that essentially enables the united states government to gather data without the traditional warrant process. now it faces back to 911. i was instituted into law in 2008. it is section 7 o 2 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act visor. and this program a when law enforcement officials describe it, they really don't make any bones about what it's really all about. here's what they've said. we are relentlessly focused on serious threats such as the chinese government's efforts to spy on us and stella technology, a wrong sanctions. evasions north korea's nuclear program and russia's invasion of ukraine. now the program essentially enables the f, b,

i and the national security agency to go to tax companies and acquire text messages, electronic data e mails and other information. this would apply to google, microsoft meta, and other corporations, without the traditional warrant process and civil liberties. organizations have raised serious concerns about this and the right to privacy. now in 2013, after edward snowden reveal the nature of the program, the supreme court ultimately slapped down a law suit from civil liberties organizations in response to concerns about the privacy of americans. the court's refusal to hear this case shields one of the most far reaching government surveillance programs from meaningful judicial oversight. it has allowed, baseless claims of secrecy to prevail over the rule of law. if this law were not renewed, it would expire in the coming december. but in all likelihood,

there's very little chance of it not being renewed. it appears that the biden administration is following the prompt administration, which was following the obama administration, which was following the bush administration. and continuing the pattern of encroaching on the privacy of americans and expanding the ability of the government to carry out surveillance and spying without much oversight. according to former ca on the list. laurie johnson, the u. s. surveillance program is actually being used against the americans themselves. despite its stated aim to combat foreign france that this law that when it was passed, and this is not my opinion, i'm basing this upon my former business partner now retired, who was chief of international operations for d. e, a in the ninety's. and he told me, he said, we have all the authority, we need to actually in intercept phone calls and spy on foreigners. what this law

does is basically give the f, b i, and department of justice and the anybody else d e a, a back door despite on america's. and in fact, that's exactly what they did to donald trump. that's what they did to people on his team like george pop adopted. so it's been used against america, and it's a gross abuse. and yet they always try out the foreign travis to justify a news, just a lie, a dam lie. and finally, this news, our china is ramping up its coal power capacity with imports of the russian or more than tripling shipments. since the beginning of this year, have increased by a massive 214 percent number confirmed by russia's consulate general in china. with energy security, global concern, china's power grid is sent to see

a massive expulsion with double the amount of new coal fired plans starting to be built this year. compared to last, according to the independence center for research on energy and cleaner to meet its needs basing has given projects the green lights on, on accelerated basis with 4 times that permitted capacity compared to 2021. earlier we discussed the situation former subs, fission, general offset. i forget dr. poly lucia and also with banking, an economics professor at the university of winchester, richard berner, is europe, has been very dependent on reliable and cost effective energy supplies from russia . and the previous, you know, states the soviet union, russia is the sort of legal success estate for, and that's been going on for, you know, for a long time. certainly since 1945. and the soviet union should have been very

reliable in delivering this to europe. and they've never used energy supplies as a political weapon or tool, or a way to blackmail people. that is an american idea. the americans have done this many times. there's nothing wrong with school, there's nothing wrong. soil based every single technology we have deployed and how that technology has supported the putting a lot of money to eat. it is possible with them cycle to the best. this is green j. guess issues by using it. the right technology about mimics data yet produces even better in the system. so i think by looking into the busy systems and things will be different, and that's what we should focus on. and just a reminder for up to the minute developments. today ortiz twitter page house you covered, why not give us a follow if you're not already using myself?

i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point obviously is to place trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence . real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with

ill. oh, i'm sorry to hear that on today that 360 be we're going to question whether there's a link between the psychiatric drugs being prescribed to use an increase in mass shooting. let's get started. ah. the number of mass shooting and academic setting is a shockey. where you compare the united states with the rest of the world. now, most countries can count on the fingers, how many incidents by the united states over the last decade has amounted to hundreds. those who commit these shootings often have a common characteristic of mental illness. psychological problems, a family dysfunction or a history of various forms of abuse, of all these issues are not new to society.
