host: let's hear from robert in greenville, north carolina. caller: as far as donald trump is concerned, when he first came in he promised he would build the wall of mexico would pay for it. that did not happen. he also said he would not have time to play golf and he would not draw a salary because he would be too busy working for his great country. we spent 145 million taking him to take golf. they overcharged secret service to stay at mar-a-lago, four times the amount they charge customers. half of his people were indicted for something. they were all grifters. half of them cannot even get a security clearance. donald trump is a complete fraud. i can't believe -- there are two republican senator willing to speak up and the rest of the republicans all with their tail between their legs. they are watching our country go down the tubes with a bunch of grifters. host: let's go to steve on the republican line in wisconsin. caller: good morning pedro. a couple of quick comments. thank you c-span for having a more balanced set of talent coming on.

our united germany has ever known a, been about, sorry greenville and, but i'm firmly convinced that if we become consciously aware of this moment, is turning point in history. if we begin to understand that one error has come to an end and another has begun. done then, and only then will we be able to see more clearly was yet what is now required of us in vision. and i am certain in either annoyance, that we will not have to face this new era in fear, or without a fancy as showing that it is a manual, a sha says that the presidents at bellevue power, so welcome emanuel. this was quite a sombre speech, wasn't it? it was her quite her thumb or a speech, a stern warning that her society was changing and also that there was no her coming back to how things were before there were met. yet there were 3 main points in her fanbrough. 3rd time i a speech, of course, what really dominated it was russia's war of aggression against ukraine or the president of german president hong routers. tamaya has been very, very moved by his visits in ukraine on october 25th. he really talked at length abou

in the mid thirties low forties we might see some freezing temperatures are from forest hill in greenville, but the point of that is at 38 degrees. it's not you get frost . and so that's where the frost advisory comes from the areas included on this frost, advisor of the hills. not necessarily around the bay area proper around the bay proper berkeley and oakland and places like that , but in alviso, but when you get to san jose, you've gotta frost advisory. so that's going to be in san jose. it's going to be up in the north bay. it's going to be down towards more gun hill gilroy into santa cruz as well. so what that means is temperatures already. getting chilly into the fifties and forties. overnight lows will reach down into the thirties above freezing for the most part , but still very cool and as cool as we've seen, frost advisory, it's not going to just wipe out your crops or anything, but it's definitely one of the court. the court of states we've seen in a while, and so if you do have something super tender in the garden, you may want to cover it up, especially in the north and east

in this context, we hope that the greenville agreed in june will be implemented by all parties. honestly. however, we believe this alone may not be sufficient to address the security concerns. mr. president and yes, approach to the ukraine conflict will continue to be people centric. on our part, we had providing both to meditating assistance to green and economic support to some of our neighbors in the global out and nomic defense human as they stared at the escalating costs of food, of fuel and fertilizers, which has been a consequential follow up of the ongoing conflict, we hope that the international committee will continue to respond positively to the cause for communicating assistance. we support calls are doing for guarantees of safe passage to deliver essentially meditating medical supplies. and yeah, so far despised qual, consignments of mandate in a to ukraine and stance. we need to do more in conclusion with the president. let me reiterate that the global order is anchored in the principles of the un charter international law and respect for sovereignty and territoria

of diverted to one says he's determined to see russian grand exported tallow income countries. greenville was signed in july between 2 to clear view and russia and ukraine. let's bring him out. simon casa lucia's life for us from his stumble. so 1st of all, sin m. how turkish officials reacting to the russian proposals for a gas hub, inter kia or some, or we haven't heard from the presidency aid yet about this proposal. but we know that the energy minister yesterday, in the same energy conference with president foot in it, told some reporter is that this is a feasible project and technically engineering wise, this is possible and it shall be studied. but of course, a present prudence proposal comes at a time when the west and russia have deemed each other as the foil and the conditions as war. so, ah, we are not sure whether true kia accepts this proposal, an air whether trickier has the necessary potential technical infrastructure to achieve this. we don't know what the european countries are, will say, will they? it totally reject this because of the current tension between the 2 sides

confirmed or denied is involved in the attack, but present zalinski called the suspension of the greenville an act of blackmail by russia. joe biden echoed this sentiment saying, there is, quote, no merit in the master's decision that's despite rushes early. a warning of possible abuse of the shipping roots. at this time there is no agreement for any outgoing grain shipments this sunday. moscow however says it's still ruddy to supply the poorest countries with grain free of charge. this year it's worth stating that the green deal not only failed to solve the problems of countries in need, but even in a sense, aggravated them. we can see where the ships from ukraine were heading to italy, spain and another lens for some cargoes 60 to 100 percent, went to e u countries. these are not the states that are experiencing a real problem with food. taking into account that russia has been and remains a reliable partner and is ready to provide the world with the necessary amount of food. our country is ready to supply the poorest countries with up to half a 1000000 tons of grain free of charge. the g

the greenville was really, it started as an effort to ease the global food crisis, which started in february after the conflict that we saw in ukraine. but what we saw is that is great, was not going to the poorest countries, those in need of it the most. and this is one of the points that was made by of russians. agriculture minister that he said, for example, that the poorest countries got just 5 100000. i was grange out of $9000000.00 tons and the majority of which they had to pay for it themselves. he also mentioned that what they're trying to do now is there was be a reliable partner and they want to continue providing the grain to those who need that the most. because at the time 60 to 100 percent was going to europe in europe when their food crisis was just thought it was a huge russia of starve in africa. and this is one of the reasons why also russia was eager to join this view and la deal that was brokers in july between the kiev and moscow to help the poorest countries make sure that the grades go out there and help those who need the most but this is not what we saw and rush. i s

says a total of $218.00 vessels are effectively blocked, following russia decision to pull out of greenville. those are the headlines up next. it's the bottom line. thanks for watching a by ah, hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question with special interest groups pouring more than a $1000000000.00 into the mid term us elections next month. has big money become a threat to american democracy? let's get to the bottom line. ah, the amount of money flowing in from billionaires and huge lobbying groups to fun candidates running in next month, mid term elections busted all previous records. $1300000000.00 in counting. that's a big number. on the one hand, it's not under the table. that's how campaign financing works in the u. s. enshrined by a supreme court ruling called citizens united in 2010. but it begs the question, is all this money pulling lawmakers away from the will of the majority and into the narrow interest of their donors and friends? will billionaires have an outside the ability to control the policy agenda? and does anyone see this is a threat to the future of representative dem

the president of greenville of rosalyn case as rushes moved threatens to bring large scale families to africa and asia. he says more than 2000000 tons of food are now stuck at sea. moscow says it's called off the 3 month old deal because of attacks on its chips anchored off crimea. for a decade, germany has been committed to phasing out nuclear power. the plant had been for its 3 remaining reactors to shut down permanently at the end of this year. but would be warned ukraine cutting off energy from russia. many are asking if that decision should be reconsidered. dominey cane reports from berlin. on a calm, sunny day, the eas, out sky power station in bavaria, seems unremarkable. but a closer inspection shows its energy source is nuclear. one of 3 reactors in germany, which together provide around 6 percent of the country's energy and which would you to be switched off permanently? but with russian gas pipelines switched off its coal embargoed and it's oil soon to follow. the german government has serious worries about a sudden potential energy shortage in winter. and i think these 3 nu
