ah, ah, with a lot of this our questions, it really is about the integrity of nigeria like tauriel system as the routing part of the candidate. now the wins the big 3 in the presidential election process. talk about survey level needs with indian counterpart ahead of the d. 24 minutes is conference in new delhi. as combat on the zone bass front lines intensive, eyes are see, this is the 1st time counts of captured euclidean. so this move decided to switch sides and fight for russia, but he never wanted to fight against russia, but i have relatives and friends there. the situation is horrible. a

desire for peace prompted me to join the battalion. i want to defend my land, my family with good i was talking to a live for most of those just past the hour and as always is great to have you with us. i'm rather mommy. let's take a look at the top choice. this out. we saw with the latest from nigeria presidential election, the ruling party is candidate bowler to has clinched a narrow victory over to opposition hopefuls in africa, largest economy. but questions have been raised about the results. hey, the right thorough commission has declared a tenable from the center left. all progressives, congress party or

a p. c. as the president elect with 36 percent of the votes, bass, just 7 percentage points higher than the runner up fueling claimed that the election could have been rigged. tenant who hasn't tested that the election was critical and express gratitude, his supporters and his 3 speech ah, frozen lay home food that you have for me as well as the experience of a mr bullet to know who wins the most contest that by far the most acrimonious of elections here in africa's largest democracy in recent times, people here are really over the machinations of how far we have come with regards

to some of the complaints that have been lloyd deal legitimizing this elections. and they're going as far as to say that they're hoping for a move post. there's acrimonious us elections and they're hoping for a better economy. they're hoping for more money in their pockets. they are hoping that they will move on. mr. winter. this election with a very, very fine and narrow margin of victory having won some 8700000 volts. rich have, which will cost here mind you need. this was a country that had some 92000000 voters here that were right just that, but only 24000000 votes were said to be valid. miss daniel, who was closely followed by optic who of our car. one, just, i'm the 7000000 votes here and he was representing the people as democratic

party. and they were followed by the labor party which only managed some thinks point $1000000.00 of votes here. but one thing is for certain as much as nigerian laws stipulate that a candidate must win 25 percent of $24.00 states, that's at least 2 thirds of the states. it also stimulates that the winning candidate must attain 25 percent of the f. c t, the fcc is the federal capital a territory, and that is where mister attainable has fallen short. we expect the opposition to go to court. we expect the opposition to decry the fact that this was not a free and fair elections to say that voters were intimidated, that they did not see transparency. and also that the results from the polling

units that were sent to that were meant to be transmitted electronically. because of the new bio matrix system that was to ensure that we have a electron that they were not transmitted to the i next server in a boucher and therefore the credibility of this particular set of results remains in question was, is the diplomat saint gala grove has arrived for a meeting with turkish counterpart member social right off. the tools was in is for ms. up. these meetings are being conducted in new delhi. emit a conference of the g twenty's form, mrs. ortiz, india correspondent, region sharma. as the details, russian foreign minister allow raw reach, new delhi meet last night and his visit is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing bilateral tries between new delhi and ma school. now of course,

so as far as treat between the 2 countries is concerned, all all the factors as well. we seeing that one of all time high. but for the agenda for the foreign minister will meet this week, really is multilateralism food and energy security. also, development corporation need for reform for november more the government to show leadership on. but of course, there are challenges that lie ahead for india to ensure the global fall words they really keep their focus on long term issue. for example, climate change of force, food and, and g crisis that tell several countries are seeing right now. the continuing effects of the fan demik also, for example, rather than the transitory issue was all such as conflicts and global upmanship. something that be so happened last week during the finance minister of me in bang

lou, there was no consensus there. something that also remember happened in our g 20 summit in bali last november. now of course, so as far as this visit is concerned, it is extremely significant to fall from the g. 20 foreign ministers meet. they're also going to be bilaterals, that of course we're going to keep a track all saw about as far as in the r g. 20000 been to us concerned. it comes at a time of a global keels global flux really where the world paul, both all divided all the russia ukraine conflicts and therefore it becomes a little tricky for india. but like the prime minister of the country said it wants to play the role of a problem solver. also, of course, at, in the all of them, there's going to be a time to play magic balancing act that will be required, of course. so today is going to be an informal dinner later in the evening about tomorrow's also follow back schedule. and of course,

we're going to keep track of the fat by degrees now or at least 36 people have been killed and 85 others injured as 2 trains including a freight locomotive collided head on the city of the rissa in central part of the country. a fire rub hidden plumes of smoke was seen bitterly out of overturned carriages. about $350.00 passengers are believed to have been on board when that train smashed into the freighter on the same truck is unclear what caused the incident. the local governor has said that about 250 survivors have been evacuated so far and a rescue operation is on the way. and i witness said that the trains collided at high speed. goodness guy, people naturally were scared. actually very scared. they were looking around searching, they didn't know where they were. there were many large pieces of steel,

wasn't the trains were completely destroyed, both the passenger train and the freight train. the passenger train was going about 160 kilometers per hour. and it was a clear head on collision which has a fighting intensive eyes along the dawn by the front lines are exclusively from captured, ukrainian soldiers of center for that size and join a russian battalion. all these roman coke road learned about why they made this pivot still decision. scores of ukrainian soldiers have become prisoners of war under different circumstances. some of them have deserted their rank sands as some of them or taken prisoner in combat. now, many of those prisoners of war are actually from here in don barza. most of them were mobilized into the gradient army at the start of the special military

operation. now nearly a 100 of those who are from dun boss have decided to join the ranks of the newly formed volunteer battalion fighting on the russian sides of colds, bug, dun malesky battalion. now i've met with some of those are soldiers who are preparing to answer combat to defend their motherland. and here are their stories. li, madison. we were in murray, you will when was surrendered to the russians. they talked to almost all of us about serving for the russian side, and i wanted to join the battalion because my house on the front line, i want to defend my land. i never wanted to fight against russia. i have relatives and friends there on the situation is horrible, not cold. i understand that we need to defend our land, and so that civilians can live peacefully see me. the west saw this conflict with russia. ukrainians, and russians have always been brotherly people. he done that, and then somebody said that russia was the enemy and the escalation began. so he

was in the extra kaloni such as ye shall do. so if in before the operations started, i felt there would be a conflict with them. i decided to beg them that i would not participate in a shame. i decided my cram battalion and i was captured after that. i understood that i would be offered to. so for russia and i didn't mind my relatives in the state, in the loo, ganske region, so they were nothing for me to do in ukraine. and it helps me that slobs have fun each other. i'm not bad at history, chris, who it foreshadowed this. and now this is happening hopefully enough. all i want to point on the stand, what the events of 2014 have result attained. what's it, would you esl on? yo, a mueller. a desire for peace prompted me to join the battalion. i want to defend my land, my family, i want to serve for the future. when i served in the ukraine forces back then, there was no anti russia attitude. people were just making money. but a lot of propaganda, neo nazi sentiments have emerged lately. many people who got here didn't even

understand what they would be fighting for feel, so they say that they were abandoned by ukraine, so some of them were taken to the front line without any preparation. now the people that i spoke with said they have been forcefully mobilized into ukraine army . and as they told me, they never wanted to fight against their own kind. i've asked them whether they have any hatred in their hearts wards the people they will be flying against. and they said that they're all hoping for peace to finally come to done boss. and so that their families and friends, i can finally forget all the horrors of this conflict that lasted for nearly 9 years. rum on call for a r t. done asked republic a blind administration has furnace laid behind the controversial mass civilians program

which will come to an end of this december. if congress doesn't vote to extend it. it permits and government to supply on any non us citizens outside america's board of and allows snooping on any communication between the fog and us nationals. all it is kind of open reports. the u. s. congress size 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's race is back to $911.00. i was instituted into law in 2008. it is section 7 o 2 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act visor. and this program 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 steal our 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 tech companies and acquired 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 lawsuit 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 were following the obama administration, which was following the bush administration and continuing the pattern of encroaching on the privacy of american. then expanding the ability of the government to carry out surveillance and spying without much oversight for c, i a alice law also says the us advance firm is i actually use against the americans themselves. this, like it's, they do, they move countering foreign threats. 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 is 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, ag, department of justice, and the anybody else d e a, a back door despite americans. and in fact, that's exactly what they did to donald trump. that's what they did to people on his team like george papa doubles. so it's been used against americans and it's a gross abuse. and yet they always try it out. the foreign threat is to justify those, just a lie damn lie. to you now protest of erupt in mo, done so countries pro some government and they rising economic problems. oh,

i love you will take into the fee. so the national capital to demand the resignation of the country for eve for my son do. some of the protesters carried cardboard effigies of the leader. we should, they ripped apart and storms on local authorities have restricted access to the area to try to prevent further demonstrate this footage shows of the crowds marching through the city center. the anti government radi brought together residents from all across the country. we heard from opposition leader a lot of sure who explained the reasons behind the persistent protests this globally, the citizens of moldova, have to bear the burden of mistakes, the president sand do. and her regime have made with its foreign policies which are unbalanced, wrong, and simply stupid. people are unable to pay their bills, they could use their savings in the 1st month of winter. then in the 2nd month they

borrowed money. now they just don't have the resources to pay their bills. these costs are higher than the income of the majority of citizens, particularly pensioners. this is why many of us in our country want the current government to resign to enable new elections. the situation is getting worse day after day, whereas in the autumn there were protesters demanding that sanders government resign because of the economic problems. now they are calling it an absolute catastrophe. the current administration is pulling us towards the you, but at the same time it is depriving us of our traditional values and imposing things that are completely alien to us. the west has assured us that they would bring democratic standards from all dover, like freedom of speech. but in reality, the authorities have close 6 channels. would freedom of speech are we talking about when a significant number of opposition leaders have been imprisoned? there is not any freedom of speech. all those western values are simply fictional

the head of russia's main manual gas supply, a gas from has held high level souls with iranian officials of an increase in collaboration. despite the western sanctions imposed on both of the countries. now this gum law through us and iran has been moving forward on strengthening strategic bilateral size, where the to hold in the top floor. so the most sanction countries in the world. the main thing follows a full team $1000000000.00 energy deal linked between gas from and tara last year aimed and joining developing a raining oil and gas fills out of the country with the use of use of jelly as the details. alexi miller, the head of the a russian energy giant gas prom is into iran to visit iranian energy officials. the main objective of his visit is to discuss future

a co operation in the energy sector with iran, and also to discuss and finalize some of the previously talked. and some of the previously find, m o. u is between iran and russia to science are increasingly coming together in defiance of the western sanctions which have hampered a one's axis to t technologies needed to develop it saw oil and gas feels as a result of the western sanctions. iran has faced problems in accessing those major and final technologies to push it saw oil and gas outputs. so now russia and gas prom in particular can help iran reich, circumvent those sanctions and build up. it's an oil and gas industry, so they want can also offer important opportunities to rush on to gas. prom iran can play the role of

a quick short cause for the russian gas to pass through iran and reach it one's eastern and southern neighbors. 2 sides are trying to come together to cooperate in the energy sector, despite all of the pressures imposed by the west, against yvonne and against russia. russia is only any pawn other iran is billy upsize live it recently. how is it a technology investment called was where the group of 8 developing countries, including egypt in denisia, nigeria, and pakistan as well as to hear the bothers above, presented their products and saw that my did was millions of dollars in contracts, signed some of the attendees shed their experience with us. the show for cecilia, the countries of the developing aid organization for economic corporation comprise 18th of the world's population. this meeting is a great international opportunity. iran has focused on science and technology. one

of the goals is to exchange technology with countries with which we share mutual interests. this meeting is aimed at using investment capabilities of the d 8 countries in the tech sector. hope availing cur, despite face in sanctions. we have substantial capabilities for technological development in iran. we have many start ups and innovative ideas that have not been achieved elsewhere. meetings like this one, make us more noticeable on the international arena and help attract investment to our country. several u. s. defense officials have testify that the government is keeping a close eye on the funding to heave. despite saying it has wired to more than a $100000000000.00. those commands limited during the 1st open hearing on oversight of u. s. military equipment. duke way. can you tell us roughly how much money has been given coal all 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. this policy is not without risk. i think we all know that 1st of all, it is costing an enormous amount of money in terms of tens of billions of dollars. why you still believe this is the correct policy to support ukraine in this war? what the implications are for our own national security because i think it's a legitimate question, the american taxpayer, you know, why are we spending money? it seems like a long way away, you know, and not to be overly crass about it. but a lot of constituents asked the question, what's all this got to do with me is the responsibility of congress to ensure that every single penny of american taxpayer money is being effectively used as intended? well, we did provide hundreds of millions of dollars in assistance in the months leading up to the war. and then of course, car actually, if we really were rewind the clock, i mean, starting in 2014, we provided only non lethal aid until 2017. the hotel said via the white house policies of the massive, messy support for ukraine is justified. they claim that there has been government

of the slide of the u. s. assistance since the beginning of the conflict. there have been numerous claims that the money, an weaponry and not thoroughly trucks, once they reach ukraine, which before the co, it was reputed to be one of those corrupt countries in europe. a u. s. republican congressman called into question with a controversial ukrainian armed groups such as the as of battalion have received access to the u. s. weapons. the a's off battalion getting access to u. s. weapons. ah, not that i'm aware of um, but she has information. i'd say piano and sent to enter into the record, the global times investigative report, the indicate that talks about training. it's from the atlantic councils digital forensics research lab. citing these are the chart was even get stuff is for backs 2018 without objection. so order, any reason to disagree that assessment assisted,

i'm sorry, is this the global times from china? no, this is well, that's what you read. yeah, it might be. yeah. would that be a reason why? i think i'd as a general matter, i don't take beijing's probably no, no. yeah. just tell me if the allegation is true or false. i mean, i don't have any evidence one way or the other as a general matter. i don't take beijing's propaganda at face value. it was not early in the china based global time to pull. the pentagon officially dismissed as propaganda. a similar report was issued by the nato, by atlantic council. it said either, but it had been testing us weapons years before the current conflict. eruptive. former un weapons inspector scott ritter says that famous of heavy oversight over the money being spent on ukraine, oni to pacify american taxpayers. 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, isn't getting to the intended target has been, you know, sequestered by the innumerable corrupt hands that are reaching out to, to be padded by american dollars in on the military side. you know, again, noticed the, the non answers, 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 $115000000000.00 of us taxpayer money has been squandered in ukraine. funding involves

western battle times to here has been a big topic for months now for 2 perspectives, supplies i. some of the pledges were made by the usaa and jeremy with both parties now appearing to have a different interpretation of what was agreed to is the most recent message from berlin. if these of dish, i have no intention to comment on sullivan's interpretation or remark here, but i'm going to show you how the federal government, how the federal chancellor received his talks with the american president. and those were good constructive talks in which both sides always made sure that we came to a joint approach that were, gave ukraine, the best possible support and how to defend itself. my 1st statement comes, offer more lengthy, one out of washington, where a recollection of productive talks a bit forgotten by us present. it was a back and forth between the worst. now my eyes on who would send the involves

heavy weapons 1st, it end up taking the american, played 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 is leopard to tax. here's the us national security advisers take on how the events evolved. he recently decided against sending them because his military told them that they would not be useful on the battlefield in this 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 abrams down the road. if you send leopards now, political scientist and her whole security. alice mark's la moda, says the times in question won't deliver victory. g grey. to be perfectly honest.

neither of these 2 main battle tanks, neither the modern leopards nor the us 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 militaries up to use these tanks for 5 and 7 years respectfully. so the idea that they're just going to send over a few dozen tanks, averaging forces are just going to jump into the turrets and drive off and achieve some type of victories is frankly, it's pure propaganda. it's, it's, it's ludicrous in military terms. it is pure political symbolism. the abrams are even heavier and more technically complex for, for the untrained user than the leopards, but only marginally, which is why the us doesn't want them sent and see them perform badly and destroyed

on the battlefield. but the news, our, my colleague, louise, sushi will be with you at the top of the hour i might have, i wish you all a wonderful day ah, [000:00:00;00] ah
