u. s. u. s, as you know, has been pushing against finally what from start, it's been continued by violence and china has been labeled and as the rival competitor intended to plan the u. s. the u. s. not going to land, that's what happens. so us pushing by a strategy has meant that china falling behind in international diplomacy or last 2 years. so now with being trips now, they're trying to really make up of the last time i think we, i will see china undersea doubling down. they're pushing back and us because they may have concluded in beijing that whatever they do that you are going to come at them on the other hand, me will feel confident in short enough to dial down. meaning that to tone down the job so that it wasn't. yes, as you mentioned, it certainly simon saw at time of storing a political tensions how to member states navigate the washington badging strains, particularly given as you mentioned, china's important economic partnerships in the region. well, the neighborhood, i was it under pressure as you can imagine, but in it, the reason i'm trying to have it both ways. so when you tell us to investment so, you know, we rely on finance and that is a man loco

u. s. does the u. s. then bear culpability in the overthrow of these governments? yes, the u. s. beers culpability, not even if with to begin with, it even goes back further than these governments. and we don't have that kind of time. but we have to see and understand. the u. s. is the top new colonizer on the continent of africa. after the independent struggle, there is a number of who they times they were orchestrated them. and us actually participated in over stowing. democratically elected, patrice, lumber, kwame, and chroma. and then after that, you would see the state was ation of who's a lot of who's taking place on the continent and became the program of the day. but now we see is with an for come emerging in 2018. i'm sorry, 2008. then as a effort to continue to continue us dominance in head to money as a top new colonizer it. it also has created and emboldened military class. they feel no reason to take orders or, or yet the to be beholden to the unpopular leaders that are emerging, that are facilitating new colonialism. and actually, you surfing the peoples of the pe

u. s. counter this influence? so that's a little bit misleading because trade in goods, definitely china i think is bigger than, than the u. s. i think it's 10 to 14 percent of the u. s. is about 10 percent for bilateral trade with the region. so it's not that much more in terms of trade in services. the region actually trades more in services with other actors, japan, the group in union, and also the u. s. t. and trying to in terms of investment in road, notwithstanding. actually the u. s. japan and you invest far more in the region than china. so sometimes there's a big focus on the trade, and that i think only captures part of the picture. what is the entire picture? i'm in the united states as a president biden today, announced investment in indonesia, for instance, in climate and food security. and last year the u. s. and i was more than $250000000.00 in new initiatives with all see on is that what you are going to try and do so the us will try to invest more than that to be sure. but the nature of the u. s. and chinese investments are bit different for us. there's a difference between real life investments and promise investments. the u. s. tend to be better

u. s. is defense, or the u. s. defense departments latest report on security developments. in 2021, the peoples republic of china employed multiple diplomatic tools in an attempt to erode u. s. and partner influence, such as highlight in the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan and criticizing us backed security partnerships, people's republic of china, officials and state media outlets also repeatedly condemned the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan and cited the withdrawal as evidence that the u. s. is an unreliable partner and declining power. the u. s. withdrawal was one of the defining moments of recent history. after 20 years of its military operation in afghanistan, the pentagon quit in the face of a taliban advance and left behind thousands of people who had been helping the u. s . army over the years. a bomb attack by an isolated group at kabul airport as people were trying to flee left at least 160 civilians and 13 u. s. marines dead. while the pentagon has been criticizing china for focusing on the chaotic withdrawal, the u. s. republicans had been pending the blame for what happened squarely on the biden administration. the biden administration repeatedly misled th

u. s. has provided more than $18000000000.00 to ukraine since the beginning of the war with russia. a national lawmaker and ukraine has said that the u. s. support comes directly from the american people. but american vote is amid the critical mid term elections appeared to have other priorities on their minds. that's a long list of domestic problems, especially spiraling price. inflation has talked to recent nationwide opinion poll earlier. we heard from us political commentator, steve gil, who's a washington will continue to sunday to ukraine because of how much it benefits us . defense contractors. i don't think there's unanimous agreement on the republican side of what to do at terms of continuing to provide funds to ukraine. i think there will be a lot more accountability. i think there will be a demand for more transparency of how the money has been. and will be spent a lot of this funding for military operations, military armament is funding military suppliers in the u. s. i think they're the ones that are wanting to keep this war going. they don't want to see peace because that cuts into their pocket books. i think republicans will certainly be, be willing to look a little bit more skeptically and how the money is being spent and how much we are spending. we spent over 65000000000 the by did ministration, is talking about another 50000000000 and i think american taxpayers are pretty fed up, you know, we need to rebuild the, our energy sector, our water in our own sectors in the u. s. i think again, congress, men and women like marjorie taylor grade are hearing it pretty loud and clear from their constituents that they want money spent here not, not in your america's embargo on cuba has received a strong rebuke from the un general assembly with just the us and israel voting against the non finding resolution, condemning the blockade. and 185 countries voting for those days at the vote was the 30th time the assembly has voted on the ball go, which ha

u. s. deputy secretary of state has had a conversation early thursday with her counterparts condemning this latest action. and as we've seen, the u. s. in south korea have been holding joins military exercises. so this is rick response by the north to that it would seem to be these, the large military exercises which have scaled back to several years. they have resumed this year. we are seeing this week, it's the turn of the forces to carry out joint drills. we're seeing joint drill from wolf involving wolf plains of well over $200.00, which is angered the north. they have condemned it. and in fact, yesterday, wednesday, we saw that responds with literally 2 dozen basalts of every different description being fired into the seas. surrounding the korean peninsula, one of them again, the further provocation of crossing the de facto maritime border between north and south. the 1st time that has happened since the korean war. bringing a tough response from south korea. south korean jets firing to surface missiles north of the same dividing line. okay, rob mcbride for us and so thank you. president joe biden says democracy in the us is under attack. he made an address to the nation just days before the midterm elections biden says, don't trump's claims about a stolen election fuel, the rise of political violence, a white house correspondent, kimberly how kit reports. ah, these are the images president joe biden hopes voters will remember on tuesday as they cast their ballots in mid term congressional elections. supporters of former president donald trump storming the u. s. capital building, attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. a threat he says, remains to day. if he refuses to accept the will the people who refuses to accept the fact that he lost his abused his power. it was a dark day in american democracy. that biding claims opposition. republicans are poised to repeat, if the outcome of his latest vote does not go their way, trying to succeed where they failed and 2020, suppressed the right of voters. and subvert the electoral system itself. dummies denying your right to vote and deciding whether your vote even counts. so it's a decidedly dark message from the normally up beat. biden was shaken by the recent attack on how speaker nancy pelosi husband, paul pelosi was struck with a hammer in his home by a right wing extremist who claims he was fighting against tyranny. biden says the threats of political violence are surging. we can't allow the sediment to grow. we must confronted head on. now, some conservative re

u. s. c. i a no known today. now we call it the secret war. it's not so secret any more. the u. s. has acknowledged its role in the country. president obama was the 1st sitting u. s. president, to visit the country, he pledged a few $1000000.00 to the u. x o clearance efforts. but studies show that at this rate clearing the 40 percent of laos which was uninhabitable due either to an agent orange or unexploded ordinances, it would take more than a 100 years to clear up. so why has the u. s. not stepped up efforts to clean up the mess it created. the u. s. bombing policy toward laos was truly unconscionable. united states dropped something like 270000000 cluster bombs, about 80000000, cluster bombs remain unexploded, unexploded ordnance. so it takes an enormous effort to clean that up. we're still trying to clean up all the unexploded ordnance in vietnam. it takes a long time and a serious commitment. china and russia have both had economic and to some extent military program allows. and as part of that, they've had to help louse with cleaning up some of this. unexploded ordnance, the effect that has had the number of people who are killed and maimed every year.

u. s. u s. president joe biden has urged americans to defend democracy. he addressed the nation ahead of next week's mid term elections saying donald trump's lies the fuel to rise and political violence. lithia, he has government and verbal forces from his to grade region have agreed to end fighting. the breakthrough comes up to thousands were killed and millions displaced in the 2 year war. the united nations refugee chief filippo grand di has warned the global refugee crisis is growing, and more money is needed to help with crises emerging around the world. he made the comments during a wide ranging interview with al jazeera diplomatic editor, james buys. if you think that there's 100 than 3000000 people that are of refugees are displaced around the world, this horrible figure. but then if you think that 14 of those 1000000 or 103000000 are ukrainians, you can easily see that in quantitative terms, this has been a monumental emergency requiring a huge response both in countries that have received ukrainian refugees. many of them knew european union and beyond an inside ukraine where were than 6000000 are displaced. and where of course you have a lot of other needs also for those that are not displaced in sometimes cannot even be displeased because they're trapped in conflict. so it say it say extremely challenging, emergency, one that has required full attention, many resources, but one that has impacted because of all that. also our response in other places. and that's the warring thing, isn't it? you, none of the other crises around the world have gone away. this is taking a lot of the attention and it's taking a huge part of the funding that must make he worried for how you're going to get money to deal with people. and so many other parts of the world. yes. and it is very interesting to analyze our funding. you and it's sharon, one of the biggest humanitarian organizations because we have received some additional funding compared to last year to meet the needs of the ukraine response . but not quite enough. and right now we have a financial gap of 700000000. that's quite a lot for you and it shows $700000000.00. if you think that our income this year would be 5 than $6000000000.00. so it's more than 10 percent, 12 percent in our income that is missing, and it is missing in specific parts of the world. them particularly worried about the middle east, the syrian refugee operation. i'm worried about the horn of africa. i was just in, so marion county, i'm worried about the sale. so an air us off acute dramatic crisis that urgently need those resources. as you know, refugees have become a political issue in so many countries and i know you've spoken out in the past about some of the language that is used about refugees, dehumanization of refugees. can i ask you about the u. k, whether is a new leadership empower and where recently the home secretary, britton's interior minister, said the numbers of people who are seeking asylum were an invasion. what he made a make up language like that. i don't think this is a very wise language. no, we live in a world where invasions actually have recently occurred and they're different in my opinion, from what we see in european countries like the u. k. we may see, and this is something that we should take seriously spike in the rivals. and indeed, many people have tried or have crossed a channel on small boats, and we've seen a spike of that, that needs serious consideration. and we have offered the government of the united kingdom many times our assistance to help manage it more rational manner. good reception you main reception, fast procedure to determine who is a refugee and who is not end agreements with countries of origin from which people that come be not have a claim to record your protection. so need to be

u. s. the u. s. has expressed a severe, a doubts about the concept of a lesson lawson damage fund. the u. s. would like to see a more diverse, a concept of, of funding. and it is sticking to this position saying at a loss and damage fund is not in the zone of reality. which puts this proposal on the table on a rather shaky ground bow. a tim after your 27 years of cop talks and you've been covering of the climate agenda are quite extensively as well as shouldn't there be a bigger sense of urgency by all people or there isn't a sense of urgency. we have a yam, it's a difficult question. we see a sense of urgency, but this, the diplomatic realities which have been locking this negotiations now for almost 2 weeks. i think in my opinion, we see a bigger divergence between the diplomatic realities and the scientifically proven realities. and these 2 realities do not match yet. and there is an urgency being addressed by activists here over the past 2 weeks. and taking the urgency, coming from, from scientists saying we need to act. now, this is what, what is on the table here today? politically, th

u. s. domestic market. u. s. president joe biden is on a last minute him pain tour in heavily contested districts trying to head off democratic losses in tuesday's mid term elections. and he talks about the issue most on voters minds, inflation. we also know folks are still struggling with inflation. and so our number one priority, that's why with might show from scott trial, flash on inflation reduction that to bring down the cost of everyday things we talk about around the kitchen table. but the act is raising eyebrows in europe and asia because it includes a $7500.00 tax credit for americans who buy an electric or hybrid vehicle. but only when it rolls out of a north american factory with domestic batteries. it's no problem for tesla g m or ford. but it's a big problem for manufacturers like toyota, hyundai, and b, m w. the german car maker has 8 electric and hybrid models, but only the 2 it makes in north america qualify for the tax credit next year. like cars made here, and it's spartanburg south carolina p

u. s. side. the u. s. breach the sign o u. s. joint communicate. so we hope the u. s. takes the initiative to clear the barriers. this is trying to start. the responsibility doesn't lie on china's side, but on the u. s. sorry, that the war senegal has suffered. what's potentially a huge set back with well kept just 11 days away. it's been reported at their main man said your money is out of the tournament. the senegalese people association is closely assessing the situation after the reigning african player of the year suffered a knock to his chin while playing for by munich on tuesday. the forward couldn't continue and was replaced 20 minutes into the match. ah, reminder the top stories on al jazeera, the russian military says it's withdrawing from a major battle ground in southern ukraine. russia's defense minister has ordered troops to retreat from the to the pro river near the city of hassan and set up defenses on the eastern bank and ukrainian forces had been advancing in the house on region for several weeks now. as on, as the only regional capital that russia had

u. s. men relations with lou? i mean, i know they help froman prison and all of that, especially since he recently issued those strong words against the u. s. and the sanctions that the u. s. imposed on russia. you know, he actually told time magazine that these sanctions are now hurting the entire world. so with that said, i mean, can the binded administration make amends with lula? well, i think that the u. s. as they do, i think they're going to take multiple approaches. i think the white house in the state department are certainly going to be saying nice things publicly while. busy behind closed doors. ready they are certainly going to be continuing to fund opposition to lula and certainly going to be trying to get him out of office. i think that lulu himself, i think, i think he's beyond the point of, of where he thinks that he can rely on the west as a partner. i think that he does seem to realize that that the u. s. is perceived interest really go against the reality of the interests of the people, the united states and certainly those of brazil. and so i think the cats out of the bag as far as he is concerned. but he is a practical politician. he is going to be

s. and u. k. choosing a recognized former parliamentarian won why doe, instead as the president, now this was bipartisan recognition on the part of american politicians, but as the u. s. gasoline prices began to skyrocket. in april 2022, the u. s. seemed to abandon guido and sent a delegation to effectively ask the maduro administration for help with oil supplies, but that visit didn't go as the biden administration had hoped. so when the u. s. hosted the summit of the americas this year in los angeles. they left a few key latin countries off the invite list like venezuela, nicaragua, and cuba. now this party f o par, not boating. well, across the southern nations with key countries like mexico turning down biden's invite. what then is plan b for the bite in administration in dealing with this new hostility from its southern neighbors. and joining us to discuss the very fluid relationship between the u. s. and south america, let's bring in doctor enrique rivera. he's a historian and author of the new book, the untold history of capitalism with international press. and re gay. good to see you. thank you for joining us. first. i'd like your read on the upcoming brazilian elections. it's huge, it's, it's a huge deal. so while, so

u. s. the u. s. has been very reluctant on this on this issue and is still is and there will be challenges to convince these 2 parties. he abused him schellenberg, joining us tonight from the top 27 climate summit in chicago. shake egypt. tim, thank you very much. are let's take a look now, some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the u. s. attorney general has appointed a veteran prosecutor to oversee the investigation of former president. donald trump . jack smith will lead inquiries into why truck had classified documents at his florida state of coast, as well as his role in the storming of the capital. in january, 6, swedish officials say that explosions on the north stream gas pipelines in the baltic sea connecting germany and russia were caused by sabotaged moscow and western nato. countries have accused each other of damaging the pipelines. the white house has asked a u. s. court to grant immunity to the saudi crown, france mohammed bin selman. he is facing a lawsuit for allegedly ordering the murder of the journalist, jamal cas shogi and turkey. american intelligence. officials believe the prince ordered the killing guitar has banned the sell of beer at the world. cup the stadiums just 2 days before the opening match. now this caps, months of tense negotiations between fever and guitar. the band could violate

u. s the u. s would very much like to have added to that lead. but that didn't happen, and that allowed wales to change the game from a minimum. late in the 82nd minute. gareth bale is fouled in the box by walker zimmermann. that's a foul that didn't need to happen. sets up bail, his country's all time leading scorer. for a short penalty kick. matt turner gets a hand on the ball, but can't keep it from finding the net. the game ends in a 11 draw. both teams get a point for their efforts next up for the uon friday. black friday against and linen curry, green thompson wiggins all sitting this one out tonight as the warriors played in new orleans after winning on the road for the first time this season last night in houston, not close to getting one tonight. jordan's pool to the hoop plus the foul. he loved the words of 26, but they were never in the game. brandon ingram went for 34 for the pelicans. the young warriors not especially interested playing defense on that play. right at 1 28 83, but no one seems too worried about this game, but they're basically conceded there back home wednesday night against the clippers and the shark associate the ottawa senators tonight at s a p center second period of 11 game. erik karlsson digs the puck up from back of the net, he finds timo meier puts sounds in front from a tough angle wins much less routes, not common for the sharks this season, but they weren't underscore three times in the period. and five different players scored goals in a 5 to 1

u. s. is, you know, the u. s. position visa be sanctioned as a kind of mania. they keep repeating the same actions. and i think of doing this because they want to show that they still do the work. but in fact, every, especially against russia, every sanction to having both has shown has underline how much they don't from the bottom down. oh ah, i now have an email folder called k k a to your organization, a thing and what is your response to a, a lost gun. it was right in this world, a route and go in this one i see just a bunch of homes. i measure of removal or say flag i was big and so being that were sent up to what we believe was was right, missing a new each person. well, christian or elaine, people need to know the groups like this to still exist that this hate, this ideology is, is in fact behind i am a lot of the support for the safe i. we must awaken white race from asleep and marty down with mom, mom, mom or better. just remember one day and my wife is not going to stand by watch more and more. there's not just to show the when he's out of no, no, you're a, i'm not trying to change the case. mind. i'm not trying to change the league of the south mind. i'm not trying to change the dixie alliance as mine. i'm trying to change mississippians that are good and deeper care about their neighbors that maybe don't fully understand blue. what impact a flag has on people that hurt the last time we saw you. you were new orleans. what was going through your mind during all that? it was crazy. ever, absolutely nuts, something i never thought i'd ever see my laughter. but it happened. and, you know, i got arrested. i need to work on a smile on notice that my mom shot that they released on the news. yes ma'am. here when i took my shot, because i was happy else prior to what i did. i mean a southerners are getting tired of this entire being picked out. we get beat down and talk bad about all the time, especially southern people. we talk about mean acre, everything like that. you know, i'm far from it. i'm far from it. i mean, i'm an engineer, you know, i'm, i have a little southern drought, not talk a little slow, but i'm far from it. now they want to start coming after our identity as southerners, you know, things that way. it makes us a better say they want to erase it and why? why want to write something that happened in this country? you know, market you learn from because any time you were right or, and that's why i'm saying today is we're fixing our big history and things keep going in the bible main table. that will be exactly what's gonna happen. the whites are going to be put in a mechanic or you know, or don't put out the slave labor and the minorities you take over everything and you know, but bypass specialist. otherwise they put up there they, on the right, they'd rather die. you haven't sent the word or a with i've condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were near not believe me. you had people in that group that were there to protest to taking care of them. a very, very support that you, they're responding to something that they say in the culture that they are aggrieved. i'm not to say why people are wrong to, to rally around their pride in their race because everybody else allowed to be part of the race. you know, proud to be wiping, i'm not afraid to say they don't know. why should they? oh, if they'd ask me, i would say no good at night. no. the torches because it doesn't. it looks militant, but that's what they were going right for me to them. their thinking back to time. we're white, we're in charge of everything. ah, i'm glad john became president. why? because a bow all the hatred in all the racism that was hidden from the world. they made people feel comfortable in like we have a rad. that needs to come by. yeah. because the answer christ has to show up for jesus to show. well, what do you think that here since trump is done for us? what's your, what's your take on it? it doesn't surprise me. it always has existing. here in mississippi we always have failed. the. we say it was the yes. the hatred, the oppression though, systemic racism, institutionally we've always, hey, i'll feel my nephew's our logo. they are black little walls. do you honestly think they had the same opportunity as the little wible? no, i'm a part of the poor people campaign where we're engaging in 40 days. wow. now rate action see of disobedience around voters, separation mass incarceration. the corrections system plays on the poor. an app a porch meant for an example. to me was billed on the idea of con, big leasing. so there was just the continuation of slavery. they dictate in control those men and women, there's a lot of new create monsters. when you take away all of their rights, you trigger made a thought human. that's what they did back in flavor. they did, they beat them. they say a medium today. for nothing. they just come in and beat the hell out of them. so you tell me that is not the audiologist of comparison to keep people in bondage in the confederacy. dressed up in a $5000.00 a day now, [000:00:00;00] a ah ah, why? now one, i'm down that now today, a crew from cbs eating news is coming in from us video. you know another fun day for an introvert. and what are the chances of this fly? flying a top of the state? i was wondering. i was a 100 percent. that's yeah, a new flag for a new mississippi designed by a grand daughter of the old south. the status flag is a hit more businesses fly it in jackson, the state capitol than fly, the state work out a complete flag source. the status, why god sells the states official flag for to one. it is one of the only things and has toxic local environment that has bridge parties, transcended the toxicity. and of that i am immensely proud and happy or restful. every good. good, good. mm hm . things are moving at a much slower pace that i had ever anticipated when i 1st got involved with. and i'm learning just how nuanced and how slow the wheels of progress here in the city. mm hm. it's a gallery of white male elite of mississippi. mm hm. what it is there's, there's not one portrait or honorarium of any sort to a person of color in the state capitol. so it one afternoon, i would like to remind everybody in my renewal at the man to renew with going out and now we are still fine. i just want them to know that we will continue. so let's be clear, just because you don't, the us doesn't mean we're not b o a i 3 years had passed since i began working on this film. the flag of 1894 was still flying above the capital. and it felt like a solution was even further out of reach, like a dream deferred. ah, i wondered where all this anger and frustration with lead, without dialogue or compromise. when those who had the power to solve the problem lacked the courage to do anything. to play with so many frank with today, i'm authorizing the additional strong sanction foreign companies. quitting russia, numbers i to one thank you. las glycine. so atm console blantan banks disconnected from the international payment system, is optional. with huffy, juvenile donna and euro exchange rates followed minneapolis sellable up by nickel. go more stuff. so carbon would know what that what he meant that he woke up the pilgrim. that is the current. can you say it was all sure she and the jail a couple was volume and russian business overcome this song. see near i bought the nazi to huddle shins tremendously. just me don't plus voice bullshit. national productive notches steel, some yearbook, i see i'm self when you go with it, but i've already got annual anyway. but did not, but i, she's appraisal. i need to have a cost difficult when you, when you, when we talk numbness, listen, go to the school. so a delusion, little book, you know, the motion with a with what's your sense of on that all which is that ah, to be honest, part of me, a shame because these grace somebody else's fillmore who is this just the same way at the disgrace when i see it i always come in love and when i do anything and i know a lot of people are not like, you know, my mom came in, but he got her jail in the dow down. so i don't know what i do know until we changed the system. ready nancy, which we have to change to face them. we can't change the hearts and minds of keep to believe that it's not a symbol. oh faith in right. when i left that afternoon, i thought the story was over and one thing was becoming clear to me. what you believe about the flag depends upon who you are. but there are truths here. and the truth is uncomfortable. mississippi seceded from the union to preserve slavery. they said so very clearly. ah, but the soldiers fought for other reasons to their families, their homes, a fierce desire for self determination. ah, and so we can believe that the confederate flag has brought feelings of pride and affection to generations of mississippians whose ancestors fought and died under it . mm. it's also true that the confederate flag represents a defeated southern nation that in trying the right of a white person to own a black person, its constitution, and that same flag is favored by white supremacists. today is friday. so when black mississippians tell us at the confederate flag is a hurtful reminder of the brutal and inhumane treatment of their ancestors. we can believe them too. it's all true. there's both the sacrifice and an injustice that people of good faith can acknowledge who the question remained. what would it take to force a reckoning of these truths? nearly 2 years later, in the midst of the pandemic, we learned the answer. ah, i here we were, the video of last night's confrontation shows a white police officer with his knee pinning down the neck of the suspect. the vision to run with forgery is reminiscent of dirt gardener's very same words i can breathe with. nearly 8000 people joined black lives matter, mississippi to march the streets of downtown jackson, wanting their voices to keep her not just in the magnolia states, but across the country. well, i mean, i think about me in europe for 8 minutes and 40 thing. mm mm. mm i know how, why we demand that we're mobile. oh, has a within our to the black labs, not a protest pressure on the legislature intensified momentum is building did change, mississippi thank flag, even as the legislative session winds down, while martin joining in the fight against the state flag announcing it will remove a flag from its mississippi stores, some of the most influential voices, to mississippi flag come from faith leaders across the state. the us marine corps is now banning all depictions of the confederate battle flag at all. marine installations, united states navy plans to ban confederate flag from all public spaces or more coaches from every mississippi public university lobbied law makers to remove the state flag classroom for the governor, debra housman is changing his tune, calling for the legislature to vote on the flag now, ah, it seems like it's coming to ahead with this potential vote. to me it's monte funny that an event that happened, you know, 1037 miles away from jackson, mississippi is impacting mississippi with an overwhelming vote of 85 to 35. it says that the lakers voted in favor on efforts to change their state planning the call to serve the lives of black mississippians in this moment, lead to an unexpected turn. there is a major change to one of the options that could be an alternative to mississippi is current state. black. largest is a designer of what has been known as the student flag is stepping away from the project in a continued effort to be of service. i'll be stepping away from this endeavor, as i understand the hurt and potential harm. my last name can cause, but i'll always continue to fight for mississippi and her people, which i consider both a duty and a joy. mississippi needs and deserves a new flag. help make it sound lauren. back at the capital confederate heritage supporters held rallies to express their frustration with the legislature. what are you willing to give? what are you willing to buy for a legislature or flag about allowing citizens to have vote that they really angered a lot they rob us of the but i mean we missed it be already voted on it 2001 and they just took that away they ignored me. anger, betrayal, vision, absolute sickness. how can you put bite in about a fire? i'll tell you your voice on your boat. your folks want to put bulls tonight. i'm signing a law to turn a page in mississippi by retiring the flag. we in 90 more, more conversation with a with a way of ah, ah, ah, ah, in the history that we witness and i think as are and also there they can be a better place for you to come in a ways we want to court here today me legislation to change the state flag called for a commission to come up with a new design. the new flag cannot contain any symbols of the confederacy, and it must include the words in god we trust. the commission solicited ideas for a new flag and receive thousands of online submissions, and they chose a magnolia design with 20 white stars. signify mississippi as the 20th state to join the union. the gold star at the top of the circle represents mississippi's 1st peoples, the indigenous native american tribes of the land that would become mississippi. in november of 2020 mississippi voters, approve the new design by a wide margin. and now our neighbors fly. the new mississippi state flag ah ah ah, a with ah. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk ah, the united states in many western countries, the title of irrationality. and i basically called what the u. s. is the u. s. position would be sanctioned as a kind of mania. they keep repeating the same actions, and i think they're doing this because they want to show that they still rule the world. but in fact, every, especially against russia, every sanction they have imposed, has shown as on the line. how much they don't room a ah, with one must sun admiral who are joker no, no well or more shrill than what they should of unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. and grill. oh, you know to production with it so it gives you oh sure. did enough good, good. good on you son, new rochelle. he one more mom. you know, margaret thought this is meant union from all one of our new and i got the sale. i got your name. i got on monday, i wished enough about julie whole new peter or guzzle more or less than a jr. let's

u. s. is the u. s. position would be sanctioned as a kind of mania. they keep repeating the same actions, and i think they're doing this because they want to show that they still ruined the world. but in fact, every, especially against russia, every sanction they have imposed has shown is that the line, how much they don't, a a, with all western countries in hopes on the clock 27 climate conference to reduce the use of fossil fuels, congo with residents on their alarm because the western green agenda comes at apropos expense with western countries came here with promises of changing our life . this is not what is happening on the ground with us. do men and women benefit from the minerals and other countries when our husbands are dying? no one cares about our situation with strengthening ties as full. so 43 percent of indians consider russia to be new delhi. most reliable.

u. s, i mean what is changed in the u. s. from your perspective, because the u. s. a previously supported and israeli investigation into this. so what does this announcement say about how the position of the u. s. may have shifted? yeah, i think that's a very good question. i don't think i'm not aware that there has been any shift in the position of the u. s. government of the executive branch, the white house in the state department. this seems to be an initiative coming from members of congress and with all respect to members of congress from all political stripes, from left to right. as someone who worked for decades in the executive branch and on foreign policy, it is a constant frustration that congress frequently will involve itself in foreign policy complicating the situation for the united states. because what happens is that the united states does not speak with one voice. so i don't think i'm not aware that there's been any shift by the state department or the white house on this. this seems to be coming from congress at glen. you alluded to this somewhat i

u. s. was for security, and this is a necessary development given the lack of trust that many have in their alliances with us. you know, if you depend too much on the u. s, than you risk abandonment or simply declines, leaving you vulnerable south africa's present slant, the u. s embassy for closing product with a warning about potential terrorist attack that never happened. the u. s. did not consult the country's government, no disclose any details on these close fun and kind of been a tougher as the story is in all hands on deck for the south african law enforcement and intelligence services they were sell, scouring for any information and evidence of a potential tera tag announced by the u. s. embassy in pretoria. the u. s. government says that it had intel that terrorists were planning on taking large groups of people in the greater sent an area of johannesburg. this did not please officials in pretoria at all. president rowman pasa said that it was unfortunate that the u. s. government issued such an alert and sold panic among the people. but is this diplomatic route caused by the failure of intelligence to inform the president and hughes from our channels. the relations between the 2 countries will be likely negatively affected by blood for long, the

u. s. is the u. s. position visa be sanctioned as a kind of mania. they keep repeating the same actions and i think they're doing this because they want to show that they still ruined the war. but in fact, every, especially against russia, every sanction they have imposed, has shown as on the line, how much they don't room, ah ah, well across stock were all things are considered non parallel. this is the home addition to remind you. we're discussing some real news. ah, okay, connecting survey also here in moscow with him and i, you want to make a 2nd point for anyone to go to the break or read about what, what happens in ukraine. and the point is, if you look at what the west equipment delivering by the west to ukraine is saw, you know, it's very, it's not adapted to, to the war. so what you say to the, what they're going to, we are going to see in the, in the winter, it's only a will armada i cause we're all, no, no use. and i look at the, on the, on the videos from, from, from jeff, actually with the, i soon older j. b. it's, so it's a radio, it's a radio. it's no, no, yes, no museum yet it's a museum. it's no use. so it's exactly what you said that they sent some all the equipment to make. do you current army, still fighting against russia, even if everybody perfectly know that it won't help? and you know, let's talk about this on. even if, if it takes takes cason, what we changed friends and fuck, if for oh, although po infrastructure we are, we are going to be completely destroy. it won't send anything. and sooner or later, russia will go back, take back caisson, take the saw, and that's all. but for the west, in my opinion, the last world target is to kill the maximum of russian soldiers. is the only a logical aim for the west because economically, as you said, it didn't work. russia is a not isolated in the world. on the contrary is a maybe one of the leader of the newer to pull our word. so the last a is to kill the maximum of foolish and saudi us on the field. you know, exactly. i agree with you. let me go to demon right now. but everything we've seen in this comes like, you know, there's been a lot of frustration for people watching this conflict. like, why is it taking so long for the russians or bog down? they have no ammunition, they have low morality. absolutely. it's just the opposite. this has been a very slow process, not to destroy infrastructure, making sure the country can recover and demur, which really goes into another level of absurdity here. ok, so we hear from the pentagon from jo, buying chic, solomon, all the rest of these clowns here, you know, as long as it takes as long as it, whatever it takes, meaning no negotiation. so that signals to russia. well, these people don't want to talk. we go and you mentioned, and you said at the end of last year, i will tell you the exact date, december 17th, when the 2 demands, when one from russia went to the nato and to washington about russia security and for so if nobody wants to negotiate in the west, russia will unilaterally achieve its security demands in and because the west does not want to negotiate, rush will do it by itself. we've already seen what it will do since of february 24th, and it will just continue to do it. and the pain dial has only been darted turner demon. oh, yes, this week for president. would you say that actually this a collision with west, with naval? wasn't it? it has to happen. so it's good that it's happened on our trips. i know that the. busy moment or the west would be prepared. you know, the problem with the previous wars that their west waste was that they were all stopped by the west at the. busy moment which the west so as an opportune one, you know like 2003 against iraq and they all have tragic consequences. so indeed can we manage to prevent something very bad from happening, even though what happened was also bad. but also also, i don't see carl that and go this war and now western blanche western interests, russian army, even if we lose or some soldiers, is going to have an experience. so fine can name offs. so in the next than 15 years, until nato completely read using arsenal, it will not at that. and don't tell me that nato did not plan to pressure russia if not, but that in the next few years. otherwise, why would they need bullet? why will they need georgia daemon? you bring up such a good point and it's something that i have talked about one on one in the recent past. is it the outcome? because there's no interlocutor in the west, no responsible adults in the room to talk to certainly not zalinski. and his gang is a lot by them. it buys out to lunch, you know, and this is a family television program. so he's out to lunch. i mean, you and i have reflected on this, but he's not going to do this again. 5 years or 10 years. he wants an answer. he wants to do any good security answer. and since nobody in the west is responsible, russia will do it all by itself. irrespective of the sanctions and all of the labeling and cancelling and all the other nonsense they do because basically what they stamps a printing press, old weapons in propaganda. zagging. yeah, exactly. and you know that the problem for the west, it more there are waiting to go to negotiate with russia. less that we, we live there will stay away from ukraine. because if you're a members of 1st or war m a fresher, in february of 2022, it was about 30 a 1000 to square kilometers. it was a. yeah. and no them are already taken. it's about under under 10000 square meters. and the next step, because in my opinion of the next strategical step for russian army, it's to take odessa. so more the which will wait less the return we were, we were willing to get some territories. you know, the, the, the, i think if we can be kind of counter intuitive about the, the timeline you, one of my favorite questions over the last few months is who's got the clock. who's got the time rush, he's got both. okay. both the clocks and the time, because i'm in the, the way it's pursued this conflict very methodically, slowly. odessa, a cough, but this act could it be possibly january, february of next year and with the price of energy, low productivity in europe. i, i personally think the headlines are going to go to economic collapse in the west and now what is happening on the ukrainian battlefront? i would, i write to add something. for instance, russia decided to take some, a economy cor program for instance, for the planes. it's a 4 years plans, it's a foils planner to, to build his own plans with miss $21.00 was a stupid under. so it's means that russia don't, doesn't plan to, to stop the come into sanctions, for instance, about plants. so yes. so risha is ready as are the plans that the sanctions will go on to you maybe a full 5 years in a sanctioned generational thing. i mean, you know, you know, you need like a 10 year calendar 20 year. you're not a yearly calendar for this. do you want to jump in? yeah, i know that the reason why i rush to expand that it's interest in your brain was because of these are some me sites. yeah. your brain did not have a long range. me so, so the initial idea was to push them away for all of us go to a distance. well, they will not be able to see the seat anymore. let me remind our viewers that brilliant forces continue to bump bon yes all day. you know, will the ask for all the, the region is in the hands or it's, it's intended on some rough groups now, so it's protected by then. yes, continues to suffer. and because americans have one of these fine marks me sounds which can hit to the distance, all 3, conduct the one with a sometimes more if you will, if you use another kind of the size. yes. in order to protect the security that people there, we decided to expand that 30 a while roll explained it very precisely as well. so just let me just be mindful of your sentence is not diplomacy. sanctions is a formal war. and we have been accustomed to this boy and the reason why the west is going to lose the sanction or is because they have an old fashioned view. they are a new meat. they think that russia is still some kind of a soviet conservative society where diplomats can get for it, made goods for checks. you know, i remember how much attention they paid to that story. they expect to be all right . all right. and so for just that than on 20 oligarchs or reach, which is not the case, which has not been the case for many years. so ok if sanctions is war and their intelligence is 2030 years out, date it. and when you have an outdated, the data, just from a point to when the sections simply because you don't, you underestimate your a, me a underestimate, i think with them also underestimate a is the, the, the strength and vitality of the european union and the strength and vitality of nato because both are both on the menu right now and it was the last to put it on the menu. ok. rush it in, force this, the west in the outcome that is positive for russia, getting it security guarantees means the end of nature, which i would definitely applaud. and i don't think the european union will sign come out in the same form that it is right now. because it is failing, it's failing, and security is failing and prosperity, those are the 2 pillars of the european union and they've lost all go ahead. yeah. ok. yes. the federal, it does, the underestimates the russian economy. you said i remember you say when we were in st. petersburg, you said that the, the said it's only 3 percent of the of the g d p. but already 3 percent. very, very important. 3, in the, in contending frames, for instance, i recall 2 energy fertilizes it's, it's one of the main, or were sometimes our leader in a gas in oil. so you can consider that you can put sanctions and start against russia as it did again sarah 20 years ago. it's completely different, but they believe their own lives. is the can cause you used to say there was a war start when the politician it to the list and the sub believe was they read it in the newspaper. so it's exactly what happens in the beginning of this crisis. the believe the all lies about the router originally economy, about the russian army and what we observe notes are interesting about the mobilization of ocean mobilization. there. they'll all thing oh, look at all the counter, but i know 300000 people, but at least they did it in about 21 months and no, and it's so it varies from message to the push i say, send to everybody in europe because i've been here run out of time. absolutely fascinating discussion with both of you want to think. well my guess here in moscow i think our viewers for watching us here in our t. c and exam. remember rock rolls ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, a ranch with rehab chars who made you know, i'm not going to tell you care about me if you care about the play. i wish somebody could just tell me why they're here or lynching, beating poverty. why supremacy for disgusting and the people in mississippi voted on a fly. and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the current flag. our purpose is to, to fan the good name and the confederates held because of these monuments that you see everywhere or not. they're not monuments to the confederate government. they're monuments to the soldiers to, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything for the united states and many with title of the rationality. and i basically called what the u. s. is the u. s, position visa be sanctioned as a kind of mania. they keep repeating the same actions and they're doing this because they want to show that they still do the work. but in fact, every, especially against russia, every sanction they have imposed, has shown as on the line how much they don't with with a loan that paid for the summer. like be up to still bill was then yet like i'm on that single look. i think now so important additional full and i would at last but i had, i like that machine with a policy daily mother started that that what i did, what i did well, that's invalid. let me love it. you mostly for fun. let me ask with a little immediately you, you sort of also the upgrade your bathroom or lose the ball supposedly with how grave on your car run it almost ah, strengthening ties as washer becomes new delhi top oil supply, india foreign ministers that to visit most go to the boost my last were with the chief, the long must go to the americans to vote republican in

u. s. government are 1st to as strategic ambiguity. we see the u. s. do the same thing with taiwan, where the u. s. support, separatist for us is and then tell china, don't worry, we don't support separatism in taiwan. the u. s. as a policy of strategic ambiguity toward venezuela. let's not forget that right now. technically, on paper, dividing administration still recognizes one guar though this completely unelected fringe politician. i suppose it interim president of venezuela. but of course the, the situation has trained changed. i mean gray though controls nothing, and venezuela maduro clearly has the support of a majority of the venezuela people who voted for him. unlike why though, and also the u. s. needs venezuela's oil. venezuela has the largest oil reserves on earth. it certainly has the capacity to produce and export much more oil than it is now. and the illegal unilateral sanctions that the u. s. has imposed on venezuela and on iran, and on russia, 3 of the world's largest oil producers has resulted in energy crisis and huge skyrocketing energy prices, which of course is hurting and e

u. s. is, you know, the u. s. position visa be sanctioned as a kind of mania. they keep repeating the same actions, and i think they're doing this because they want to show that they still rule the war. but in fact, every, especially against russia, every sanction they have imposed as shown as on the line. how much they don't, a ah, watching it was a shot shorter one. and i'm not going to stay like a national z. m a who is the aggression today? i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions today. russia is the country with the most sanctions imposed against it. a number that's constantly growing a little in your senior most in mine, or wish you were banding all imports of russian oil and gas news. i know they plenty of, with the letter from, you know, with joe by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang, the new me we are. oh i a i now have an e mail folder called k k in coalition for your organization. and what is your response to be a big big main stand up the law.

u. s. against the u. s. s. mark . and he early 19 eighties and his history shows that night at the felon is economically born painters that moment abroad. well, i mean, well, we'll look at the region. it seems like cases seem to be on the raw is really, i mean, the u. s. allied japan is also being boosting defense cable, but it is particularly by developing a mr with a range of that could target china. one of great, i mean, is the instability in the region and local working lebanon, w, but i just wanna double down on that and say, what could be done to reduce these tension to a number of points there? i think you certainly i, japan has made the decision to take more responsibility for its national fence. on the one hand, many of the region will find this provocative. on the other hand, it's a historic opening for japan to start to make itself less reliant on u. s. specifics for security. and this is a necessary development given the lack of trust that many have in their alliances with us. you know, if you depend too much on the u. s, than you risk abandonment or simply declines leaving you vulnerable or you find yourself as germany does presently, you know, increasingly boxed and, and incapable of mounting and meaningful independent foreign policy

u. s. when the u. s. invaded iraq, or when the u. s. a. be invaded, afghanistan, i don't see tears being shed wars ongoing on the african continent and central african republic in the democratic republic of congo and so on. many of these wars have points of origin in sort of european con, conflicts that were started when europeans occupied this continent. so i think asking, and this is, i was pretty much quoting the south african position here, asking countries like south africa to take a position in european context. doesn't make much sense when the u. s. isn't really taking up her position on the issues that are important to south africans, for example. ah, plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks. i do keep change it to our website as well. lottie dot com for all the latest news updates as well. thank you for joining us. anacio national. ah ah, with ah, i met representative sikes at a rally in washington, d. c. o. t introduced his dentist. why do a gallery of mississippians who had travelled there to demand a new state flag over by

u. s. government spending due to the non co operation of several u. s. government agencies. u. s. a has a past 2 trillion dollars, including over a $1000000000.00 for a while since americans withdrew from a country last year. but still numerous international organizations have raised concerns about, increasingly, di, humanitarian crisis unfolding in the nation as it emerges from 2 decades of u. s. military occupation. this course live now to form a u. s. air force to turn cold concord tusky. thanks so much for joining us here. now this top us over agency on i've says it can't report on the expenditures right now because the u. s. authorities have failed to cooperate. what do you think about that? well, it's interesting that they, this, this failure is right before the election is that we just had this week. so it's possible that they are withholding it temporarily, but most likely there's, there's dirt there. there is a lot of things that they didn't intend to happen, that we're probably not authorized to happen with some of the billions of dollars. and so, you know, they're, they'

u. s. national security u. s. is angry at china's top of support for russia invasion of ukraine. russian president vladimir putin with a close ally of she will be notably absent from the g 20 meeting week. she dug biden has raised chinese hackles by saying the u. s. will be ready to defend self rules. taiwan. militarily, the u. s. has been briefing its allies on the massive economic fall actually waging invades taiwan, which is considered part of its territory. the us china relationship has really rapidly deteriorated and recent years, due to disagreements over trade, taiwan policy, human rights issues just to name a few. and so this really is an opportunity for the 2 leaders to get together and. busy carson and to talk about these tough issues as well as areas for cooperation. growing nuclear tensions in the region will be high on the agenda and bali buys and will push china to use it. implements terrain in north korea. after a space of missile tests and fears, soaring the young young is stepping up its nuclear ambitions. and in german chancellor. allah schultz is also heading to indonesia for the g. 20 summit on the way told me to stop in hanoi for talks on fortune closer economic links with vietnam. it only just looks like a work trip. ola

u. s. is views on taiwan on the u. s . as policy towards taiwan and the potential u. s. defense of taiwan, particularly aggravated that relationship between the u. s. and china of that visit from the u. s. speak to nancy pelosi to taiwan in the summer. and that was something the chinese were very, very angry about. i think the us will be saying no, our policy is not changed in any way, but of course you got the midterm elections and the results still not clear. we may have a new speaker, kevin mccarthy. and he said one of his 1st things that he's planning to do is to go to taiwan. so that is likely, i think, still to be contentious issue going forward. the other one in the region that you can look at. but i think it's very important is north korea, which is filed a record number of missiles this year, 86 missiles in one year. and this tool may be planning a 7 nuclear test. the u. s. believes that china can do a lot more to rein in north korea and stop this. it describes as provocative behavior. they believe they can deal directly with the north koreans. they also belie

u. s. when the u. s. invaded iraq, or when the u. s. a. be invaded afghanistan. i don't see tears being shed wars ongoing on the african continent and central african republic in the democratic republic of congo and so on. many of these wars have points of origin in sort of european con, conflicts that were started when europeans occupied this continent. so i think asking, and this is, i'm pretty much quoting the south african position here. i'm asking countries like south africa to take a position in european context. doesn't make much sense when the u. s. isn't really taking up per position on the issues that are important to south africans, for example, ah, plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks. i do, kate change it to our website as well. i t dot com for all the latest needs updates as well. thank you for joining us on our scenes national. ah, ah, ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and getting to disease. i don't see

s. breach the sign o u. s. joint communicate. so we hope the u. s. takes the initiative to clear the barriers. this is trying to start. the responsibility doesn't lie on china side. but on the u. s. sorry about the war. senegal has suffered what's potentially a huge set back with well kept just 11 days away. it's been reported that their main man said, your money is out of the tournament. the senegalese purple association is closely assessing the situation. actually, the reigning african player of the year, suffered and knocked to his chin while playing for by munich on tuesday. the forward couldn't continue and was replaced 20 minutes since the match.

u. s. exposure in those fields, internationally, stuff on thank you very much. are correspond in washington stephens a month so what are the results of the u. s. midterms mean for the rest of the world here discussed that is b w's, chief international editor, richard walker. richard, talk to us about the implications of these elections for the war. in ukraine, the u. s. is one of ukraine's biggest factor is both military, militarily and financially, or will that change of republicans take control of just one of the houses of co? yeah. that, that, that's right terry. and this be a lot of concern about this particular ukraine, but also in europe as a whole of what might change if there is a really significant sort of shift in the balance of power within washington. because you're right, the u. s. has been the biggest single supporter of the ukrainians during this war so far, 40 plus $1000000000.00 of of funding is gone to military funding and other kinds of funding. and to get that money, joe biden has go to congress and get congressional approval for that. now that bunch of money is pretty much spent now is that they can looking ahead to take, can provide more money in the, in the year ahead. they're going to need a congressional support for that. the republican party, however, which looks like it's certainly going to win the has the representativ
