what's happened in dumbass this whole time? this is, these aren't objects, these are people. and so that's why i do what i do. that's why i'm here with moscow in new delhi, our consistent opponents of such neo colonial practice, even though the illegitimate unilateralism threatening or russia taught diplomats highlights the importance of spreading intercultural dialogue within the g 20 group in order to find down through to the challenges facing the world today the ruling party candidate is declared victorious in nigeria as presidential election. but questions are raised by the integrity of the pallet. found stung grenades are fire, does protest in gulf,

more cities or crawl of israel coming of anger over the new government's judicial reforms. growth with live from our international new center here in moscow. this is our take great to have your company. i meet in russia and india stand against neo colonial practice since the remarks of sir gala for off after a meeting with counterparts in the indian capital at a g 20 foreign ministers conference must learn your very 1st year. the woodson moscow in new delhi are consistent opponents of such neo colonial practices as illegitimate unilateral sanctions or threats from black mountain and other types of pressure on sovereign state. there is no doubt that restraint renewal of intercultural dialogue within the group of 20 objectively, contrary, used to the maintenance of trust or mr. joint surge for effective answer. some of

the numerous challenges of our time. if this is a worthy response, took those who would like to abolish the culture of countries. they do not like you goodman from russia's foreign minister, wrapped up a bilateral meeting with his brazilian counterpart morrow via a little earlier. a 4th us private folks were held with trickiest top diplomat, and also the indian foreign minister, whose hosting the conference, sir gala for off highlighted why moscow anew delhi stump together, which he described as a privilege strategic partnership. with more years, ortiz, india corresponded written june sharma, russian foreign minister, law ra, reach new delhi late last night, and his visit is extremely significant in the backdrop of growing up bilateral tries between new delhi and more school. now of course sir, as far as treat between the 2 countries is concerned, oil all the sectors as well. we're seeing that one all time high are but for the

agenda for the foreign minister tells needs this week really is multilateralism food and energy security also development cooperation need for reforms for november more these government to show leadership on. but of course, there are challenges that lie ahead for india to ensure that global powers, they really keep their focus on long term issues. for example, climate change, of course, food and energy crisis that al several countries are seeing right now. the continuing effects of the pan amec also, for example, rather than the transitory issue was all such as conflicts and global up and ship something to be so haflin last week during the finance ministers, me in, bang lou, there was no consensus there. something that also remember happened in g 20 summit in bali last november. 7 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 bilateral, that of course we're going to keep a track all saw about as far as in the l g. 20000 been so you can send, it comes at a time or a global kills global locks, really. where the world, paul, both all divided all the russia ukraine conflicts and therefore it becomes a little a tricky for india, but like the prime minister of the country, you said it wants to play the role of a problem solver. also, of course, at india, all of them, there's going to be a time to play magic balancing act that will be required. of course, all today is going to be an informal dinner later in the evening, but tomorrow is also a follow back schedule. and of course, we're going to keep track of the stuff now it's been a contentious few days, but the rates to take over the presidential reigns in nigeria has finally been

called with the ruling parties candidate bullet to new, but seeing off to main opposition hopefuls in africa, most populous nation. hey, the electoral commission declared, mister tinney, who was put forward by b center, laughed all progressive congress as president elect after he secured 37 percent of the ballot. now that's 8 percentage points and millions of votes more than his nearest rival. former vice president tico but car who claimed the election result code was rigged. the a p. c. describe that reaction as sour grapes on, urged abbacore, and the labor party candidate peter obee to concede with long time kingmaker, a bullet tyndall having already given his victory speech. ah,

lay home food that you have for me to have as a mr. bossman 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 loyal de, legitimizing this elections. and they're going as far as to say that they're hoping for a move post this 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 less. that interval wins this election with a very,

very fine and narrow margin of victory. having won some $8700000.00 votes, which have which will cost here. mind you, me. this was a country that had some 92000000 voters here that were registered, but only 24000000 vote was said to be valid. missed the senior who was closely followed by i to coo, abaca one just on 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 6100000 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 most attainable has fallen a shot. we expect the opposition to go. busy 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 fair 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. ah, well keeping attention on the region

a manual mach crawl, nay's embarking on a 5 day tour to africa, but many residence in the democratic republic of congo, which will be his final stop or making it clear. the french president seemingly is not welcome. protesters gathered in the capital can shasta wielding signs comparing michel to the m 23 insurgency group in the country, which has been on a rampage in eastern bordering regions. that while the french embassy here was spray paint, it's with the message is michael, get lost. and frances, a murderer, similar sentiment has been growing across the continent with molly and 14, a fuss. so also recently the monday lead withdrawal, a french troops in a sign that the message is perhaps being heard. president micron this week said he aim to improve by law firm relations by making frances military quote less visible

to the middle east. protest. abrupt it in several is really cities including telephone, where stung grenades, helping fired a demonstrators as they clash with the countries long foresman protesters block the main highway that connects television under islam waving flags and shouting anti government slogans or the rallies across the country broke out as, as really officials proceed with a controversial judicial reform, it includes the right of ruling elites to limit the power of the supreme court, which currently access counterbalance to the executive branch. israel's prime minister has reacted. seeing that protests are lawless. we will not allow violence against police officers, the blocking of highways and the gross violation of the laws of the state. the right to demonstrate is not a right to anarchy. i give my full backing to the national security minister and the officers of these railey police who are acting against lawbreakers who are disrupting israeli citizens daily lives. while we spoke to his really lawyer,

an act of as rowley bar, who believes that people are fighting the proposed changes to that judicial system . because once altered, they're extremely difficult to reverse when they will have this judicial or a revolution. it's basically evolution that will change the whole face of the country. it will not be a free country any more. this is the reason where on the streets, there is also to corrupt the issues a corruption issues. but when you put everything together, it makes a very said picture that we're all up against in israel violence, if you know sometimes a way of living, especially when you have the power over the police. this is a mistake, but the prime minister at the dreadful mistake, as he always do, he tend to use force in the places that he shouldn't. he uses force as

a game. now here's quite a remark. a former british foreign secretary has said he's hoping for a clue in russia he made those comments to a pair of russians were known for eliciting candid remarks from politicians. and as my colleagues, marina cost, rather annoying to shay talked through earlier. the jew had the former diplomat thinking he was speaking with ukraine's ex president petro punish. ankle hears william hick. but now the judgment has to change a thing too. i wrote this week to include longer range missiles. i mentioned a specific type of missile. there could be supplied and of course tanks should this apply to from germany and elsewhere. and i think some fighter aircraft as well, the bricks will not change it policy without the united states, without agreement of the united states. so the, the t decision is still in washington, the southern just the former,

a foreign secretary, just dishing out his opinion in that clip. he actually says that he spoke to the current foreign secretary, the defense secretary, the prime minister of the u. k. and he said that they all agree that they need to arm or ukraine some more. they need to supply some more weapons, bought the pay and need to convince all the countries to follow suit or in particular who the united states. because as he said, they are the ones that make all the key decisions when that comes to this conflict in ukraine. and he said that that is the only reason why latter mirrors lensky traveled to the united states in december. because that those are the people making those critical decisions. so again, we can see what is happening behind the scenes. and what's incredible is that in that clip, rory, he also mentioned how it would be ideal if there was a military coup in russia bought. he says that is highly,

highly unlikely. there are of course, voices of reason out there in the united states, not many rory, but there are some and some who are encouraging peace and returns to the negotiating table and no more supplies of weapons. and that america needs to bag down from this. i'm completely against the word ukraine. i want to see it come to an end. i want russia and, and crane to come to peace talks and end this war. but, you know, who's driving it, it's america. american needs to stop pushing the war in ukraine. marina. what can we say about the european politicians at this point? i mean, are they all on the same page with washington? there aren't on the same page, but at the same time we can know how many on the same page because some i would assume are afraid to speak out because what happens when countries do speak out, serbia, for example, it has refused to follow washington's. our policies and now we heard from the

president of serbia himself, alexander, which has said that he is being forced to follow washington's lead, basically, wonderful mimicry mean every one is in a rush to go on the offensive. they're in a hurry to get results, but no one is asking why. they told me they have a war in europe to publicly. they did not admit that they say lose everything if we don't step in line because i would have to. and then they say that they want peace, but they are peace and their peaceful solution is basically russia, weekends and defeated. they don't see any other way. and the way they see it happening as, let's arm key of with as many weapons as possible so that we can reach the sort of negotiated solution. so we must give you credit what they need to prevent. some worry our support to ukraine. risks triggering escalation. but there are no risk free options. and the biggest risk of all is

if president booth in winds. and we already know that the tie, this change in the united states, and we're seeing more and more people speaking out against all that money that has been poured into crane. and we don't even know where that money is. go into because they don't have anyone checking who is getting the money where the weapons are going. well this that will start. so one year of his complet ukraine american has spent more than one year than they did in 20 years in afghanistan. and iran, you put that, can you get your head around that? and we all know how that ended the death toll from a shipwreck off the southern coast of italy is rising. now, reaching 67 people with children among the victims. while the ship, which was carrying migrants broke up at the weekend rescue operations are still underway in the search for survivors or to contribute our rachel morrison takes up the story pot between disastrous foreign policies of the west that up and at target countries and on the other side,

europeans were increasingly rejecting migration from the same countries are unfortunately, the migrants themselves, including children. 15 of whom have now been recovered in this latest disaster after setting sail from turkey and in capsizing just off the coast of italy's calabria. now each of these migrants reportedly paid between $58000.00 euros for traffic. hers is smuggle them into europe. and now it's getting increasingly clear that time the trip carries a major risk of death. paying these traffickers to bring these people to europe. it's, there's no guarantee of anything and there's certainly a risk of death. now, these migrants include afghans, pakistani, iranian syrians, somalis, so there are different places impacted by western foreign regime. change policies that mostly harms the average person. and italians don't want these people reaching their shores, which is why they elected right ring prime minister,

georgia maloney last year. now the italian parliament passed a new law on february 23rd to find charity rescue ships up to 50000 euros or even block them if they're caught hanging out in the waters looking for migrants to rescue. instead of sailing directly to an italian port without stopping, which is what they're supposed to do now. but the italian for a minister denies that the new law contributed to this latest disaster have listened to what he had to say. these are empty exploitations by those who have so far failed to offer real alternatives to illusionary journeys of hope that human lives at risk. there was no delay. those who relate this tragedy to the new rules out of ignorance or bad faith or line. it is a path where n jo's have never been. in any case, the new law does not provide for any ban on the presence in recovery scenarios or interventions. we limit ourselves to subjecting them to a regulatory framework that is also of international importance. this is really not

a very good look for the european union, which is always preaching about human rights and humanitarianism, and is now trying to distance himself from this disaster. it's a clear case of a total lack of foresight on the part of europe when it engages in foreign wars or sanctions appendix countries while failing to consider the long term consequences of the actions that it takes on these people. so in this case, that means migrants coming to europe to escape the misery, and then clashing with european citizens and who are fed up with it. and the policies that come as a result of that now a spokesperson for the e commission is talking like the e. u is trying to divorce itself from italy's treatment of migrates. have a listen. the e you commission has a very clear policy when it comes to asylum and the right to asylum. people who find themselves in a dangerous situation have the legitimate right to seek asylum in a safe country,

including the countries that make up the you. the united nation says that the new italian law result in loss lives and doctors without borders has already seen one of it, ships find and blocked for 20 days. as a result of the new law, its director of programs in italy also commented on the humanitarian tool, directing his anger specifically towards maloney and her interior minister. i say this with the respect that is due to the victims with grief for what happened and also with the firm intention as requested by premier maloney not to speculate on these tragedies. but we cannot help but say with anger that the 1st statement by prime minister maloney and minister piano dosier little more than a sad, blamed game, yet another slap in the face of the victims and survivors of this tragedy. so let's cut to the chase and put this tragedy. and as i, in the proper context, this situation can really be attributed to italy's lack of courage and spine to

stand firm against nato's bombing and coo data of libya in 2011. so 12 years ago, they didn't want to at 1st, they didn't want to participate, but french president nicholas whose eat twisted their arm into participating in that operation. after then, secretary of state, hillary clinton, of the united states twisted sar posies arm. so a chain reaction of arm twisting results in italy bang, dragged into it, and italy was worried that the french, by going in with the military footprint, would he jacked italy from its traditional resource rich stomping ground and former colony if it didn't participate as well? so they, over through libyan leader, mar gadhafi, who warned, i'm french television. pretty much right before that. if he went down, italy and france specifically would be flooded with millions of migrants because libya played a role in securing and stabilizing the mediterranean. so 12 whole years after

his overthrow the checks coming due, and here's the blowback get a lot of interest in this next story. the boss of the real firm who's cargo train derailed in the us state of ohio last month, sparking a huge fire and chemical leak has been cold to testify in front of a senate committee. politicians said the accident was 100 percent preventable. the derailment happened on february 3rd, the treadmills transporting a highly toxic chemical compound, used to make plastic products. it can trigger severe short on long term effects on the health of any will exposed to it. the fact that journalists were prevented from accessing the site for some time led to accusations the government was trying to don, played the seriousness of the incident. president biden faced criticism to, for choosing to travel to kiev, rather than visit the scene in eastern ohio,

our te, corresponding kill of knob, and takes us through the details of the catastrophe on the upcoming hearing of. well, at this point we have ohio residents filing a lawsuit against the environmental protection agency. now, as well as ohio governor might do, why and they are doing claiming that basically they've been told it's safe to go into the area. but that it's not say they're citing a study conducted by the fact that a and m university and carnegie mellon university that indicates that there is a concentration of 9, the chemical in the area that is higher than normal. they say the e p a, telling them it was safe to go into the area, put them at risk again. local residents told a great down reporter that they believe these results conducted by the university. this is what they said to trust company when they come out and say everything safely tested over. no, i don't know. i know what i felt, my lungs,

i've got healthy ones that have done no change there and now, but he trust somebody is telling you, well, it's only going out a mile when you live 3.3 miles away and i walk outside the morning of my lungs and burnt felt like they were on fire the time i walked out and walk back in . so now i don't trust anything they say, i don't think there's any content feelings around. my experience has been the people are still pretty much up in the air and uninformed and feel like they've been manipulated. do you think that the do you think that the company should be trusted when i say everything safe? everything's good to go. ah no, i don't trust them. we don't know what's in the air, we don't know what's in our homes. now. another issue that is being raised is the issue of the private contractors that were hired to collect samples in the area.

according to grade. the company tetra, tech that was hired is owned by black rock and by vanguard. those are 2 financial corporation and they also own norfolk southern southern norfolk which is the company, the railway company that is involved in the crash. so that indicates the conflict of interest that they believe. now i will find out that patrick tack, that company that's been hired, i was involved in quite a few scandal over the years. the department of justice has come down on them for their ecological practices. they were involved in what's been called the biggest case of eco fraud and us history when it comes to a botched navy clean up that went on. now in addition to that, it's important to note that apparently the companies have, i are the center for toxicology and environmental health. and this is

a corporation that was involved in the clean up after the bp oil spill in the gulf of mexico. and they have been widely criticized for their environmental practices and their activities in the aftermath of various disasters they've been called on. here's what res, on reports. another toxicologists familiar with c t e h, who requested anonymity to avoid retribution from the firm. described as chemical studies is designed to meet the goals of its clients that pay to say everything's okay this so said that work product is basically they find the least productive rules and regulations and rely on those though with residents. and he's palestine, ohio reporting that they've suffered health offense and the aftermath of this brain derailments. many people are looking on and seeing the report and the activities of the environmental protection agency. it seemed to be very well serving the interests of norfolk southern, the company that was involved in the derailments. and observers are looking on and

saying this looks like an example of collusion and apparent corruption where a private corporation and the federal government seemed to be working together. and it's the public that is being put in danger and suffering. ah, washington is one step closer to a nation wide ban of the globally popular chinese up tech talk in a move that critics say threatens freedom of speech. the u. s. senate foreign affairs committee has approved legislation named, stifling the social media platform. now the bills that found spent comes as tensions between washington on beijing increased steadily. the white house has raised security concerns about the up on ordered all u. s. federal agencies to remove the software from their systems. this latest legal effort would allow the biden administration to the clara, tick tock on, quote, extraordinary threat. beijing has rubbish that calling the move. an unjustifiable

violation of fir business practices, new goods away shoes yet or how cool? how unsure of itself can the world top superpower like the u. s. b to fear young people's favorite f, like that? we firmly opposed little strong action. so the u. s. government should respect the principles of market economy and fair competition. we stop suppressing the companies and provide them. oh don't for you there and non discriminatory environment for foreign companies in the u. s. pinged, you got? yeah, you went. brussels has also jumped on the bomb bandwagon. the, you know, i forbids the use of tech talk on official devices used by the blocks parliament commission on council legal on media analyst line all thinks the crocodile actually may do the opposite of what's intended and make the up or forbidden fruit. there are by possibly raising public interested you people think that tick tock is the only means by which you can get this information. that's number one. number 2, from a practical matter. how would, unless, let's go a step further,

let's say the band is going to be across the board. is that even possible? and i would venture to say no, because what you're doing is your, 1st of all you're, you're creating this forbidden fruit aspect of it. so as soon as you tell young people in particular, and by the way, good luck telling a gen z or that this poses some kind of national security threat. but the moment that you tell them you can't do this. and this rather recalcitrant generation. good luck with that one. when you keep saying, china, china, china, china, it kin 10 to sound dare i say sino phobic. we've seen this before in the way. people talk about anything that's russian, russian propaganda, russian, you know, inter fair ridge russian. and after a while this rousseau phobic kremlin meeting,

i'm kind of language seeps into the conversation. i can see this happening a if it hasn't happened already. and i'm not saying that criticism is not warranted, but it tends to obfuscate and to confuse the issue when you keep saying this over and over again. no fee. so named have vomas' syndrome. we're american diplomats started complaining some years ago about suffering various mysterious medical maladies and the cuba capital pops off every so often in western headlights. but what caused it? we investigate next. move .
