it's, it was incredible genocide. the pressure is defense minister, a surrogate showing to showcases his nation's military mind to kim and joe. during the latter's 1st part in trip in years will apply reaction on the coming that'd be f. struggles to find survivors from the loving this officer that's killed fathers and on the western states. express condolences over the last supplies. that's the slide nato being responsible for a breakdown in the nation security a decade ago with the top you and efficiency of if you did significantly, the switch that across the mediterranean, the tell you in on it does not produce as if there is a state of emergency over the playground prices, it faces local authorities, say european politicians are just standing by allowing the territory

bertino foster orders, differentiate and best fees. defensive tashay tend to leave the country within a fortnight, alleging he's engaged and not paying that undermining the west little citizens, islam, the french diplomats presents in the contest. i think that the french defense out of shape is not needed here and working on the french armies will read, expels from the country book enough or so, but it's not normal that there are means here. the story of working is over the welcome to the we can use drawn job. my name's you to know this is our t international. we begin and rushes far east, where north korea's leader has met with the russian defense minister of the military are based outside the city of loving for stock touring strategic russian aviation. kim john lewis and his delegations were on their 1st stuff along side

story. they showed this before heading to a naval base slater on a sunday, and most showing come about our truck rockets as well as ship based assets under to read the meeting comes on the heels off his visit to russia's got to talk to a customer where he helps us with russian presidents allow them to pay to delve deeper into the visit. let's cross live 2 political risk elements with a particular focus on asia. ross, find gold rush be to see you today. your thoughts on perhaps the venue chosen for the north korean leaders reception. why is kim jong and so interested in russian military equipment? there's always a little bit of mystery to whatever king john good does. whether that's domestically within north korea and certainly like this occasion when he travels outside of north korea because it's so rare. but what are the factors, excuse me? north korea continues to invest. it's military and that includes attaining to the

extent that it can uh, better technology to improve its arsenal. because north korea, in conjunction and the military establishment in north korea, they look at their ability to stay in power as being based on their military might . and why they're projecting that domestically or towards south korea and united states. so the fact that on is very rare occasion that he left north korea, he's looking at things related to military technology. really comes as no surprise . will that be? it's, it's not where it goes as terms, mutual cooperation between russian, north korea or, or will they stick to pursue deeper tides? i would expect. so some action towards deeper ties. there is very strict sanctions against indeed are engaging, worst free of militarily. so you have to sell north korea, a weapons or military technology is pretty difficult and it would be a surprise of russia agrees to do that. but will there be uh,

any house or quiet we engaging or substitute interaction, whether that's a need in, in food or medical supplies. all right. i think we should expect to see more of that. what we know, north korea needs a number of things and certainly who would be at the top away as medical supplies again would be at the top of the list. so i would expect to see snack not regard. okay, came down and as you say, choose russia as those 1st destination following the cobra. i break. indeed it says 1st, international journey in 4 years. what does that tell us about the trip significance? well, to look at that from another perspective, there's really a limited number of places that kim jong, who is chad or would go to russia and china, being the few quotes is geographically as well as from a, a, a lot of perspective. and ken has enjoyed good relations with china and good relations with russia. so he's and visiting china,

then he's visiting russia. but those are realistically your only 2 options. he had his meetings with president trump. why didn't vietnam and one in singapore, but that was so unusual, so we could do, we shouldn't consider that ex wife is what i mean is the likelihood of a kid visiting other countries in asia is already very remote. so it's either china or russia, as there are long term relations between the 2 nations. what factors have contributed to to that oh, is it the history of this of you big an ally of boards, korea is, is a huge contribution. and i, i mentioned another country a few, a few minutes ago via knox. and when we see that in the posts of the parent of vietnam, i just maintain the relations with russia. so it's no surprise that even in the publisher of your era mystery, i will continue to maintain excellent relations with russia. again, as it does with china. these are the 2 countries that for many, many decades have had a good relationship with more 3, a,

and more clear. given that it doesn't have relations with many countries, or most countries around the world, it will take the friendships where i could find that. how's the north korean leaders visit the value of stuff being interpreted in, in the west, from what you've seen, ross. that's a great question and i at the risk of a big so much sarcastic, i would say to people in the west governments, media, they're, they're kind of freaking out over this because they don't know what exactly kim is up to. and when he visits russia, what's he going to come away with? again, you know, it could be types of a food, a medical, a, maybe an enhanced military cooperation or trade in weapons, not withstanding view, i'd sanctions. but it can, it gets foreign governments speculated. and we know that north korea likes back there what they are to be attention, they don't want attention to be diverted to other issues. so for example, here in the asia region, we're always talking about china, taiwan changes, and from north korea. they want to be the subject of the conversation,

and this gets people talking about north korea. and that by itself is just the strategic audio. i, i sometimes think that conjunction, excuse me, he's just sitting back laughing at all the attention from western media and western governments to this work trip to russia just expanding on the i'm not finally during this visit conjunction, emphasized his will to preserve at quote world just as a long side rush it, what is north korea as perspective on international order? they certainly don't like their unipolar world, where the united states is the most powerful country in the world. and obviously, neither does roger. neither does china. neither does india, even though india has a warming relationship with the united states in western countries. so worth 3, a again, it doesn't have any friendships. but i think it would be wrong to assume that there isn't some sympathy for north korea from the global staff, especially to the extent that some countries in the global south are inclined to be

a little more socialist in their politics. so it is north korea isolated jazz project totally alone. absolutely not. very interesting, as always, thanks for at taking a call this some of the asia political risk, unless russ feingold life on the program are now over 11000. the beans have lost their lives in this week's flooding disaster. or if a local officials fear that number could almost double us, the true extent of the devastation is on covered russia and emergency services. we have arrived in the hardest hit the city of turner, to search for any survivors still stuff under the rumble. hurricane down your rig, talbot, county, north african country, causing a pair of dogs to burst after torrential rainfall. recent footage from the area reveals this year a scope of destroy buildings on infrastructure rescue operations are still underway with the health minister for the east libby and government saying at least $3000.00

of the dead have been buried largely in mosque raise. it comes of a report last year from a local university board and the to destroy dumbs. i'd been in need of urgent attention for years, pointing to quote, a high potential for flood risk. now, i figured in the government expanded on the us wall, stating the only hospital functioning in during the today is in a rented house with 5 rooms. this is not new, this is going on for 42 years. it has caused the nation in political turmoil since the days of gun duffy. every minister of health and prime minister would drop by during, would make statements about supporting the cd and then ignore it completely. the rodents in the dams and durn are not new. they have been reported repeatedly, including insane. david draw some 2011 and moving on. no official has paid attention to it. well, libya has been in a state of turmoil since 2011 when nato forces intervened in the country to take

out the market. duffy who had led the nation for decades. the alliance sought to exploit the quote responsibility to protect principles, to justify carding advertising, change operation that kill dozens of civilians that some are good. i think his last legitimacy to lead and he must leave the. 0 the we came, we saw he died, it shows the world you would get rid of it and i knew a two's freedom be well since the full of good delphi libya split between 2, rival governments has been mired in conflict and 2014 civil war broke out between

arm groupings, including islamist militants, allied with isis, recent conversations on social media helping pointing out how western powers. there are significant responsibility for the countries occurring predicaments. it can be helpful to be seen use still the truth about what really happened to libya. this country was illegally destroyed by nato in 2011, and the entire region is still suffering from the impact. sadly, those responsible have not been held to account. it's hard to keep track of which country with the lows, bomb or in vain today, russia, china, iran, libya, syria, iraq, yemen talestine, have dentist and venezuela, mexico. so down, congo, serbia, uganda, somalia, north korea get now cuba and so many more. it is undeniable that the case created by nero's 7000 bombing rates wrecked with libya and was the direct costs of that

community being so badly devastated by the storm that he did presently for. we spoke with political, a whole list of the former libby and presidential candidates aside. you who talk through the background to the scenes of devastation being witness today. so i know there's no doubt that the real crisis in libya began with the external intervention in 2011 and due to the un security council resolution 1973, which in reality was manipulated because it did not explicitly authorize military strikes or military action against libya's honestly, this resolution was manipulated to launch military strikes at that time. in reality, libyans are well aware that the crisis in libya and the subsequent crises over the past decade or the result of that external intervention. a result of complicating the situation by international parties. today we don't expect international parties, the united nations mission, or specifically the united states and western powers. specifically to acknowledge

that the crisis in libya started at that time. instead, they will attribute all the crisis. libya has been facing to other factors as far as possible from admitting that they are the ones we initiated this reckless action that libya has been experiencing for almost a decade. does it have a direct impact? yes. in fact, because in libya, in 2011, the state was over thrown the collapse of the state. and his general sense resulted in the claps of authority. the collapse of the state, not just authority, but libya was left without leadership. will staying in the region, north of libya, authorities on the southern and tell you the island of mount producer made a decision to transfer migrants to sicily. as the landing point in the mediterranean has been overwhelmed by 8 size and plus new arrivals from across the sea. the local government tells the curtis state of emergency with america, naming that your opinion leaders. i've turned a blind eye to the dire situation. the whole g. j is always blend. producer has

taught the entire world about humanity and recent years. but europe has abandoned us. politicians are doing nothing to help us. and we urgently need assistance. the people of land producer unhappy and tired of being overlooked by europe induced to leave. this is an impossible version to bear. we cannot face the problem alone. according to the italian red cross, more than 700 migrants, how prevent it being transferred on another 2500 occident expected to get there one way. tickets to leave the island to cool places that can accommodate the lot produce that has a population of just 6 follies and reports say the influx of newcomers landing and more than a 100 ships, a swarm the 400 a migrant shelter we heard from locals on the island of time to for if you have time to feel so much suffering so much pain, these migrants are fleeing wars, poverty, unemployment, and droughts. no one is doing anything to solve this crisis. the migrant problem

cannot be resolved by taking them to other places. europe has a lot of responsibility for what is happening, where a tire than sat. a 5 month old girl drummed in the seat, no one was able to save her migration flows are not decreasing. here in line producer, we cannot accommodate many of the people who are arriving. we do not have the right structures to do so. there are also major health problems. is a tragic situation. which is an independent journalist mohammed crits is of the view, the use migration policies folding. we're short, a ration for mega associates. it is very dire and miserable. the following for the minimums, tons of human daily magazines also the face, various forms of foreigners as an odd when the houses and shipped to the assembly like the prisons and do no respect. basics off the lights

between babies usually or knows. it's moved for a few minutes system to deal with them. now there's number of my guns, but it's has not yet receive it. the rest funds will invest most the highlights, this deep crisis among the union members, which has been emerging within your, of the situation. and so, so my kids, my account, fixed and brain games. this mean the very those tim nokia of getting policy in place for him handling this issue. ukrainians, military spokes, person has published a list of international observers of the recent don't boss elections labeling them all vultures. it follows on from sarah ashton survey, louis telling, press the keyboard put hunt down, journalists who cover russians viewpoint. well, this tweets list dozens of names who allegedly observed the recent and includes at

least 3 americans. the elections were held in former ukrainian regions that had decided the last year by referendum to join russia. cirillo is actually an american, then worked as a journalist prior to joining the training armed forces. russian federal authorities have launched. i'm investigation into the person's comments. the next week, the teeth of the russians devils will nash ever harder. and the rabbit and mouse will foam in uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see, a favorite kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes. and this pop of putting is only the 1st rushes war. criminal propagandist will all be hunted down to those comments. fit in with a wider potter enough targeting dissidents. some reporters, including individuals from western nations. you may be aware of the notorious piece keeper website based and key of some. busy those listed all that have received

threats while others have ended up being killed. ukraine, often the nice involvement in those associations, even though some of it. so officials publicly celebrate the depths of a reminder of some of those killings, according to unofficial investigation by moscow 29 year old daria duke and was killed under the direct order of the printing and military intelligence. more corresponding loveland sitarski was also killed by a poem in a st. petersburg cafe. it's not just media figures either a famous russian writer in order to escape death, to escaping at with injuries following an attack on. also the reaction from moscow by the way, the printing. busy preschool person, some of the box truck from the initial statement saying key of was only seeking to put people on file. meanwhile, the ukrainian media i played has released an article citing a military come under. instead of every 100 mobilize ukrainian since last awesome 80 to 90 are now dead or wounded. that correlates with other reports that keep

praying of suffered major losses on the bottle. but we spoke to german independent correspondent tal. this report who stays the west, disregards international laws. journalists are under threat. let's be honest, it's a war. it's a war of the west against the russian. and we have for the list which have been killed over attempts to kill them. from the trading side. russian journalist and what for the west say they were not trying to understand the propagandists and whatever they call them. so the west ignores all who will switch well somehow in forest and already a times not to because you all know this not to really especially short show. similarly in soon talk it's like we see it and don't have control. and so all the old rules, i'm not in force anymore. i'm myself on the peacekeeping list already for a long time. so i'm quite used to be on several ukrainian. this is nothing you for me, but it shows again that, that we haven't key if some kind of government called them read

a reading for you one who work with methods with i wouldn't call democratic to put it in the diplomatic way because the publishing sense. so essentially this is a, it's not it took to repeat that. let's call it by names this. what's, what peace makers for, we're basically so far. so if this is democracy, i didn't some, i did click, i got something run the times when i lived with us democracy. i think this is all something we will not see on the west, the media, but it confirms what, what the russians had to say that the ukrainians stuff are great losses. and yeah, it's a press you can put in put it several times. the americans are fighting the restaurant until the last and threatening they do that. the lead to indian president has revolt for citizenship, of a renowned figure skater with russian roots marguerite, to throw a b as cool as a former other beck ice dumpster, who was born in moscow. she began competing for lyft to any of following the fall

of the soviet union in the early 1919 winning several metals for the country in international events, including a bronze at the world championships in 2000, but less decided to revoke her citizenship and claims the cheese and maintain ties with sanction russian individuals and also owns property and crimea. she's spoken out against the decree urging list. do we need to respect her human rights? us? earlier we spoke to former and new york times, find correspondent john, for only we said he wouldn't hesitate anything less from the current unless you can even cover. as we know you well, nato is also right you to your plus plus the us. i mean, they made it very clear that their goal is to eradicate everything russian, quote, unquote, eradicate everything russian and done by some premiere to the states terminate the local population. so in that sense, you know, taking away someone's citizenship because she performed performed on ice in russia . it's almost natural now i wouldn't expect anything else from the list to any

regime. and we do have to speak about i, when i write, i write about this topic. quite often, i deliberately speak about the tall terry global liberal regimes of the west. very clear. that's what we're dealing with, right? we are dealing with regimes in the west that no longer follow any accepted norms of human rights of civil liberties of basic human freedom. and they are inclined to any width. they can conjure up a reason to strip anyone of their rights and to repress them for any reason we receive as constant this persecution everything. that is the russian persecution of russians hatred that is stirred up against the russians. okay, some more developments to tell you about in an area where a closely following burkina faso has ordered the french embassies defense. that tasha on his contingent to leave the country within 2 weeks, alleging that he was undermining the west african nation. a 13 officers government

has decided as of today to withdraw the approval of a mr. emmanuel pasquale, a defense i tashay at the french embassy amber cannot fuss so because of subversive activities. mister emmanuel passed, create, and the staff of the french military office have 2 weeks to leave for cannot pass. so the government here by informs of the closure of burke cannot fuss those military mission in paris as of today. and we doesn't know exactly what happened, but to the government to, you know, i, so finding, finding it is, uh, because of the southern se, if uh, you know, the state mentor visa, minnesota, been for a mazda 5 key and he's supposed to be to leave the country and remember this, this the showing is a sign with increasing station between uh, fossil and francis. this is the document of the transition. but in fact uh,

most of the 2 years press one to leave the country for as long as i see, you know, who, you know 1st, who also let me land to, you know, who is losing his uh, dfcs office in uh as frank t r. i s e and uh, the french 24 who was shut down. do not know why so many people are we talking? many people think that that includes the assign because the french, french, and media companies in the, you know, the full size of this story about on with the website or the story this to, to, to, to defensive for us is a final record on. yes,

i like the my media like to book, you know, 5 suit and he's one of the students, you know, in the book, you know, if i sort of in my room, he also is major as well. we also sought to hear the views of local us there who shared with us there. i sent you towards the french presence, the ongoing french presence in the country. i think that the french defense out of shape is not needed here in board. cannot know, the french armies will read expel from the country book enough or so. so it doesn't really seen a subsidy for this. i to show you to be present and working out for so many devices . it's not normal that their armies here, the story of breaking is over given what we asked for, which was to come and help us eliminate terrorism. if they can tackle that problem, it's better to leap if this is the ok. switching gears now, the international energy agency saves worldwide. the model for fossil fuels is nearing record highs. however, it suggests not will be the peak,

and it's only going to go down. and as we move through the decade, this year's report to be released next month shows the world is on the cusp of historic turning point. based only on today's policy settings by governments worldwide, even without any new climate policies demand for each of the 3 fossil fuels except the heat, a peak in the coming years, the golden age of gas, which we called in 2011, is nearing an end with demand and advanced economies set to fall away later these decades as well. it is a spot of deja fu though us in 2022. the energy agency made a similar prediction seeing where the historic turning point towards adopting green energy according to the i. e, a, the corporate pun, demik was the spark that ignited the development of renewable power. and also, let's not forget, at this, and similar statements the 2019, the 9 is been coming, basing was set to lead the world in clean energy. well, let's take

a closer look at how that's upon dodge after those predictions, as we'll see on the map in a moment. the nations colored represent the biggest consumers of fossil fuels, and china is levels written main high government subsidies across the world for the industry storage to this figure. 7 trillion dollars last year, that amount invested in the oil gas and coal sectors was more the nation's around the world spent on education. beijing, by the way, closely followed by washington, where the trading continues with america's plains of slime. its leadership figures show us consumption of fossil fuels has storage since 2020, with a 9 percent increase up to last year when it comes during a time on global energy consumption derived from oil, gas and cold dropped by at 3 points over a 5 year period. earlier my colleague peter scott, discuss stuff, conundrum with

a panel of guest. as i said he was the that the 2nd posting as they use on 44. but um, i begin to look at countries in africa. how positively to be committed to exports are still as strong as they told me now to be because of the presidio. but as for to be strong though, that it's not showing me now it's to something you can see it's, it's quite difficult. i have a slightly different opinion of and the lady because we are dependent on oral and it's a it will stay for at least another 30 years. we all see that the so called the seat of climate change is not only because it doesn't where it is, it's too expensive. it takes away the,

from the sources from much more needed area. slight growing crops for food. this whole green deal is, is not working and it will block energy requirements of the water not increasing. so there's competition between countries. do have high g, d, b, fall, but low. what it means much more requirement, much more consumption of energy. so we did lots of energy, so i think awesome june stated would be in the box. the shift is going to be was much lower than what your thought there would be a shift. immediately there will be a shift from boston to renewable energy, but it's also up here, according to we is going to be much more store was responsibility to develop industrialized countries. the in terms of helping africa shift to more renewable energy in terms of funds and support,

given that they're responsible for the vast majority of the carbon emissions. and for these companies, crisis as a whole, they thought the guessing i should be doing the work that once we get to begun to see the whole floor, especially floor has been taken to be watched. it was, it was from land and, and then the, you have been a nice on what used to be very slow all the time for the we die but mutual. we thought we have found out the driver. so she turned all of that. then we got to see some of the facts or the finances. what we are now facing is that the economy is not only slowing down. it's crushing any specially in europe because of political decisions that have be made and who are catastrophic. and this will cause visual change everything because it's the european economy and the american economy a crushing then some of the parts of the world won't succeed. that.
