Cove out a living despite the harrowing conditions with hello to welcome to International Broadcasting live from the russian capital is just one for a m, a local employment. And were glad to have you with us. Im rhodes. Im ami, lets take a look at the top stories. This our as the western world, the real emitter sanctions, in deuced energy crisis. Japan has decided to retain its 30 percent stake in the made to russian oil and gas for dirt, cold cycling, one japans economic and trade. Mr. Said the operation, its really important for its Countries Energy security. However, the move flies, the face of earlier commitment by g 7 states to brian russian oil. This incomes is japans consume inflation rate has risen to an 8 year high. The cost of a city has increased by more than 21 percent. Gas prices skyrocketed by more than 19 percent, and the cost of food has increased as well, to contribute to rachel mazda and has more on the issue off until now. Japan is pretty much just fall in line with the rush, the west and russian sanctions. And as part of the western lead g 7 care was expected to participate in the Russian Oil Price cap, that washington is ginny, off in the attempt to limit russian oil revenues. Now, because an oil or oil buyers, cartels and only really work in that country, sign on. Well, this could be a problem. So washington figured out that the very least they could call the shots for all of its g 7 allies. Now, earlier this year, the group even pledged to phase out russian oil imports. Its not like 7 countries are going to be able to control the Global Markets for oil or for anything else. Maybe enough to get some decent virtue signaling going, and maybe keep ukrainian present primary lensky off their backs for a few minutes. But now tokyo has ruined the whole spectacle of unity by announcing that would stick with rushes in one wailing gas projects which american multinational exxon mobil pulled out of earlier this year. Japan government and Oil Executives are explaining that the country needs Russian Energy to survive. Unlike europe or the us, japan depends on overseas for almost all of its energy needs. So its not possible to cut off ties with russia because of the sanctions. In reality, we cannot survive unless we continue to import from russia even if the volumes are smaller. So this is the 1st time that a major us ally has decided that the interest of its own economy and citizens are more important than complying with washington demands in its effort to contain russia. Its no wonder since japans inflation rate for electricity as at 21. 5 percent. And that 900. 4 percent or gas. So i guess japanese leaders are just going to pretend that Something Like short showers or turtle neck can fix problems like this. And european leaders. So speaking of which the big question now is, what is the us going to do about it . And in japan or just let it slide. And this is a really interesting litmus tests for all western allies. Were really feeling the pressure to sell out their own interests, just to keep up appearances with respect to unity and ukraine. The European Union in particular, must be watching this and thinking why i mean, we could have just said no and drawing a red line at sanctioning our own ration gas supply. Because well, thats pretty much exactly what japan was just done. And so far, crickets, the washington, we heard from a senior lecturer, the universal boss who says japan needs its g some partners to understand his domestic situation. Japan has to make the t 7. All i understand her out. You for the position is very different from other european and all so western powers. It is important to note making yourself having that relationship with all of these Major Nuclear powers next to you. And so this is, this is reasonable without the japanese a d, t, she took up and decided that they need to at least mitigate the relationship with one of them. D, from the fact that japan has already alive, lifted us. And there was some power to contain men to criticize and sanction russia. Today, they make this new turn in impulse, trying to slow down the downward spiral off their relationship with russia. Meanwhile, the german talk to lo love shows has lamented the current state of invasion in his country. M october the 20 infant son and daughter in october, the inflation in germany reached more than 10 percent unimaginably high. And that is why it is right that our efforts are centered on measures, so that citizens and companies can cope with the consequences, the very high inflation resulting from the russian war against ukraine of him as he just heard self blame. The main reason for the soaring and facial on russia launching a war on ukraine. However, global inflation started to grow rapidly only after sweeping sanctions were imposed on moscow by many western countries, including germany. Meanwhile, the e. U is also calling for price cap on russian gas, although much of the union is divided over that prospects and now on to south africa, where men desperate to provide for their families are risking their lives in privacy abandon gold mines. On see course will uncover the cutter explains this is the pits, the very bottom rungs of a thriving elicit economy. John, his bag is filled with abandoned mind chefs like this, with tunnels that continue to dot its landscape. And really why it was once known as the city of gold. This out you see them one and i, i came here to mind gold and i have been doing this for about 5 years. Like i left my parents back home as well as my wife and my 2 kids. The discovery of gold and diamonds, around 1852 brought the full weight of the British Empire to south africa, both militarily and economically, to control the resources and the prophets from his colony. But in the early 20th century, the African National congress was formed to lead a Defiance Movement against the colonialists. And when more and more black men refused to dig up the earth for colonial companies, the british imported even cheaper labor from south africas neighbouring countries. A legacy of migration that continues to day, south africa as some of the deepest gold mines in the world up to 5 kilometers down. In some instances. Illegal miners like these. I know locally as amazon amazon, which literally translates to the gamblers as knew of desperate undocumented foreign nationals who come down and mine these shops for the little gold thats left on the ground. Dishes in the series. On wellss, the tools that we use are chisels and hammers. We also use pans and water to wash up the goals out. There are still a lot of called left under ground and we work in dangerous conditions. These men mostly originate from the thought to them. Bob away and mozambique men and women continue to stream down to south africa, attracted by the seine minerals and its a big and coordinated business. But its also inherently risky and fraught with danger. But who is actually funding these activities . Ah, so a lot of us, we just sell the goals, the re sellers, buy it from us, why we dont work for them. We do this work for ourselves. Meaning theft has been around since my aiming itself. And in some instances, illegal gold miners will pay legitimate gold miners up to 800. 00 for the use of the access cuts to clock in and out like regular workers. Sometimes an entire line of people is paid from security guards all the way to winding engine drivers and minus. But the costs are far less for band and wayne chefs like these. But theyre still fraught with danger. Hammer told alan museum that im good dear to see if one of us is injured inside the mine. We help each other. We take him out, take him to hospital and then visit him there. But around 3 years ago we had 3 fatalities here. More gold has come out of south africa than the rest of the world combined with over a 150 years of tradition. That the huge 2nd to remarket for golden south africa. And its the 2nd hand jewelry and the registered precious metal dealers that i suspected of financing this elicit activity to darrell yoga is the most money ive ever made is about 1200. 00. I can send it home and my family can buy the things that they need. In true capitalist form. When close rose, big mining houses picked up their profits and left they left pits like this littered. Busy all across the province, and they left the little bit of gold. Theres left here for these men to fight over. Got a Village Party in johnnys back. While alice owed over to the middle east, a committee of the you and General Assembly has overwhelmingly voted to have israel dispose of any atomic weapons. It may have met International Spaces from the i a, a monitor, its Nuclear Facilities. The reservation thinks to prevent risks of Nuclear Proliferation in the middle east. It passed with 152. 00 votes in favor, and only 5 against which included the u. S. And is what itself is, was never admitted to having Nuclear Weapons. But many experts and intelligence that is considered an unofficial Nuclear Power, and as it has capacity to produce such weapons, are the same time is ready. Officials themselves openly speak about recognizing their country as a Nuclear State is where the space Agency Chairman isaac been. Israel has said that it is required to make states capabilities transparent to the enemy, referring to iran, which also is accused of seeking to develop Nuclear Weapons. But of course, live now to political as and International Criminal lawyer, Christopher Black. Christopher, thanks for joining us here. Archie, now theres been a un vote for israel to be more open about its nuclear pan. Should israel admitted if they have Nuclear Weapons . Well, many people argue that if israel admitted that they had Nuclear Weapons, it would be easier to coax them into agreeing to, to eliminate them because they were, you could enter into the discussion with everybody else in the world about women, any Nuclear Weapons, but their present stance, so what they call strategic ambiguity of not admitting, but not denying that they have Nuclear Weapons allows the United States for instance, not to condemn them for not joining a non profit non Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty which they otherwise would be required to do. And so it, it cuts both ways m. Israels playing a double game returning it doesnt bet. Everybody knows it does have Nuclear Weapons in the substantial arsenal and up to maybe 40400 weapons or maybe more we dont know yet is quite flooring. Indeed, with the middle east, with the tensions why now, i mean, do you think israel is likely to heat the Un Resolution of it and get rid of any Nuclear Weapons . Perhaps even let the i e, a inspectors into Nuclear Facilities that obliged to know because the, that the general, the General Assembly resolution is not binding. Its not, not unlike a Security Council resolution is not binding on them. And theyve stated openly in reference to this resolution presented by egypt sponsored by the palestinians and various other people and nations that they intended to regard their own security interest 1st before regarding any other interests. And so they will not exceed 2 guitar accept this resolution nor change their behavior in any way. I is warring indeed now that for a indeed oversee but so called the International Community forth israel. Busy to, to be more open with you thing it doesnt have to do anything to the want to, but surely the International Community wont let it just get away with whatever it wants to have these massive potentially Nuclear Weapons in the region. Well, theyve been getting away with it since 1966. In fact everything gurian tried to start a Nuclear Program back in 948 and the americans under kennedy criticized. Didnt try to suppress it. But that, that failed. And israel is now in a position where it has Nuclear Weapons and its entire strategy is to suppress anybody else from gaining Nuclear Weapons, reading nuclear potential as syria or iran. And remember, its attack to your ran it attack syria and 27 to bomb. Its Nuclear Facilities, its assassinated iranian scientists, and many other people to try and prevent any, any other middle east and power becoming a Nuclear Power, as they are. So i dont expect any United States supports them. So the International Community so called, which means really me as United States and as western allies is not going to put any pressure on israel to exceed or follow through. On his resolution. I mean, my country, canada voted against the resolution. So not going to see changes behavior in any way whatsoever. However, the, the general wish has it, has a moral, has a moral effect and it does have an important effect in a moral sense, unethical sense to force them to change that behavior. But i dont think its really going to, right, because i mean, get them on their own questionnaire. Now weve got the elections are about to happen in israel with nathan, yahoo possibly getting back into power. Is that likely to put a change on the way things go in the middle east . Are we looking more staunch honda stocks on the middle east policy especially when it comes to iran . No, i think israeli policies been consistent. All. Busy way through it, no matter who the Prime Minister is, was netanyahu or somebody else left or right, or a center . Israel regarding iran is a threat. Its not a threat, but regards itself as a threat. It regards is a threat and its behavior will not change. I mean, i have to remember that the israel acts as a cas park and United States in the middle east. Its used by the United States to suppress middle east countries from developing in her own way. And it developed her own nuclear potential. Me around was Nuclear Power in order to create energy, not Nuclear Weapons, but not even allowed to do that. Whereas candidate for instance, which voted against this resolution has its own Nuclear Facilities all over the country. So i dont expect anything really to change. Unfortunately, we would, we would prefer other things to take place, but thats not the reality. Right. Well, let me off the final question, chris bill and i have you here. I do enjoy talking to now which is of course is well having potential nuclear weaponry. That is a potential. Theres no evidence, in fact there is, but all we like, we feel why dont we see in more israel and iran just sitting down a table and just being transparent about both countries wanting nuclear energy. Well, thats a very, very good question. I dont know if i have an answer for that, but its not true. That is no evidence that israel has Nuclear Weapons. More to kind of been in banana review back at 986, but they had Nuclear Weapons and its quite clear that they conducted Nuclear Tests where the french, under the skies of french tested in their french polynesia. And they just end up south africa when they thought it was a South African test. So theyve tested Nuclear Weapons and they get get the desert. Theyve just tested their weapons. They have those weapons and they dont deny it. But yes, it would be, it would make reasonable sense of israel and iran would sit down and come to some sort of accommodation to live together. Israel is not going to go away, no matter what the iranians think or anybody else exists. And thats and thats a fact, and they have to get used to it. And israel has to get fact, it used to the fact that it cannot dominate the middle east. Because, you know, United States is power is weakening and without american support. Israel isnt a very precarious position. So i would suggest to these railways that they sit down with the ratings and the syrians and negotiate a settlement and overall peace settlement, where the entire region to draw down the changes in the middle east, at least. That would be a very wise thing to do for everybody. And 8, i mean if you have a piece in the middle east, everybody would be so wealthy and things would go back seen a possible assign Christopher Black pleasure to do so. Thank you so much for joining me here, and ill see you again. Thanks again. Oh, ok. Moving on now investigative news outlet, the intercept says is uncovered u. S. Government establish control of the major Global Online platforms under the guise of the supposed campaign to route out this information on these maria phenomena. As the details, big brother is bigger than you would ever think. Not only the American Government watching the citizens, but it is also censoring them. Thats according to the huge story released by the intercept, whose journalists looked at hundreds of documents and emails, mainly obtained by leagues to show how the department of Homeland Security or d h. S. And f b i have for years been closely collaborated with top social media platforms like twitter and facebook to sensor various kinds of content under the banner of fighting this information. The Department Plans to target inaccurate information on a wide range of topics, including the origins of the coven, 1900. Pandemic, ne efficiency of coven, 1900 vaccines, racial justice, the u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan and the nature of us support to ukraine. Toys are responded saying we do not coordinate with other entities when making contents, moderation decisions, and we independently evaluate content in line with a twitter rules. But the evidence seems to suggest the exact opposite. Its former Legal Affairs and policy chief among the 1st to be fired by you and mosque met monthly with a d, a test. And not only her facebook created a special portal for the government to rapidly request the take down of content, including parody accounts, an Anti Government pandemic policy stuff. But social media is just the people of the iceberg. The da chesko is to totally control tech johns to like we could pedia or microsoft. Here is what is executive a former d h s official himself tax that the director of the department of Homeland Security in february, platforms have got to get more comfortable with governments. Its really interesting how hesitant they remain. The calls were for an expensive role of the Government Agencies in shaping the information ecosystem. With how this information is defined by the government has never been clearly at the collated. The inherently subjective nature of what constitutes disinformation provides a broad opening for d h. S. Officials to make publicly motivated determinations about what constitutes dangerous speech. The d test justifies all that by saying that misinformation can push people to terrorism. But it seems they knew that what they were doing was bad because they hired 3rd Party Companies to do the research. So that it didnt look like government propaganda. Subcommittee members discuss designating a point of contact as a clearinghouse for trusted information. X and mister hale suggested designating the ice x as a clearinghouse for information to avoid the appearance of government propaganda. But the governments role was hard to sweep on to the carpet as the f b, i was deeply involved in the case as documents show miss dam low, the agent of the federal bureau of investigation known for crushing they hunter, by the laptop story briefed the dia, chess is Cyber Security and infrastructure security agency, on her vision of the ideal media miss demo was asked to provide her thoughts. She stated, we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable. We need to early educate the populace. And that to day Critical Thinking seems to be a problem. Currently, the department of Homeland Security was set up post 911 to counter foreign terror groups. And now its fighting disinformation. Is this americas new war on terror . Or is it at terror on its own citizens . Freedoms guaranteed by the 1st amendment. Ah, well the news ill serve is president puts his army on high alert. Fully repulsor. Im identified, drew a monitoring movie installations as a breakaway kosovo region. But seneca, public it call it the president of the republic, as the Supreme Commander issued an order to the serbian army to be on standby, to raise the level of combat readiness to the level where it can respond to any task. We are not preparing for war, but we cannot be completely unprepared for anything that happens. Several indemnified flying objects more. Eventually, drones were seen a entering. There been air space near the administrative board with the so called muscle and fuming. So bases that are there and our troops are on the present footage announced that he gave orders for serbian plains meek, put in 9th, to follow these objects and potentially destroy them if they dont remove from the fed up in their space. But they did, and they returned as it is said, who are also in the car here from which the key that 1st to feel the serbian basis that is due to the fact that the children are removed in direction of the administrative order and the security line that is near the more than the person to talk here because britishness said that from 1st november it will start implementing its a Station Place for vehicles because in north close to will service are still refusing to re register their cars because rates and continued to use their grades to read the serbian registration marks. What now has been the data from the cleaning conflicts and kinda gotten in the rushes in buffalo city of damascus has been directly hit by shoving says, the mayor of the city early on to the several residential areas. Were also reportedly hit by missiles launched by ukrainian forces. Also hit were a cafe and a restaurant, the roof of which was severely damaged. A scene in these images was the no casualties were reported. Meanwhile, the rebuilding process in a district public is in full swing. The help of the russian government is reuben, closer as well. Several towns and villages in the dentist peoples republic have been completely destroyed by ukraine and artillery shelling right now. Were in a town offer vol, navarra. Most of the city. Looks like this, according to the mayor of vol, navarra, 80 percent of peoples houses have been destroyed. Now, many russian regions have been fast with rebuilding of the city. Now this particular Apartment Building is being built by she labinski region in russia. And this is just one of many bridges who are working all over the nest peoples republic trying to rebuild infrastructure and the lives of the locals, which is miller school, who is interested for example, 85 percent of the cities infrastructure was damaged, residential houses and apartments 22. 00 houses are listed for demolition with one problem now which is the gas supplying fighting on the front line left the gas pipeline broken. And the head of the region promised to build a new pipeline from mary opal with the help of the russian federation. And by the beginning of december, this problem should be resolved apart from restoring Road Construction of brand new Apartment Buildings, shall i. Best creegan is also rebuilding schools and kindergartens. Now this particular kindergarten was nearly destroyed by ukrainian artillery shelling. Now it is ready to welcome kids come december. Now this is just one of many schools and kindergarteners that were destroyed and now completely restored for the kids to attend down. As will of emma have a bad, im suffering to direct head to our society. It completely demolished the will and re danish restoration to repay, tended to major overhaul. Everything was restored, the entire doubting has been renovated every rain. We also had an old building wherein asians are being completed. This is a typical scene for the major part of the city of all nevada. Now this is a future construction site. As you can see, this house has been reduced to rubble by the ukrainian artillery locals. Hope that this soon will become a thing of the past from on call for. If archie vulnerable had the nest for public on declaring changes with the you and Climate Conference due to thought this week. And in the gyptian city, osama shave some african nations founding the alarm over lack of funding to tackle environmental challenges. The coastal country of galvan says affluent nations have failed to deliver on their promises. Over and over again. Developed nations have committed and not delivered. Theyve committed to reduce emissions and theyre not delivering sufficiently, theyve committed to funding and that funding doesnt ever seem to materialize. We didnt create the problem. And so you would expect a more sincere engagement from developed nations, and you would expect them to respect their word and their engagements. Meanwhile, the new british Prime Minister is soon luck, apparently is trying to save face, as he is said to be reconsidering his previous decision on not attending the un conference in egypt. Thus, after he received significant backlash from the International Community and his own conservative policy. The case environment secretary has tried to dismiss, but really feel by saying it would be quote, just a gathering not a formal summit, but it says that 90 heads of state of confirmed their attendance, investigative journalist, and co founder of the incite factor more d b will dba says, there are forces of play who dont want africa to be prosperous or sustainability develops. It goes bad when we saw it, you know that the cupboard 19 pandemic. You know how the exit to make seems were, were, were, were, were, were, were key issue. You know, i mean african countries a sudden to get things while the rest of the world reflection came to me since i think this is an in balance when it comes to, to, to, to, to door, to the way i develop nations view and the develop mission i think the way the waste is perceived as dina. Somehow to keep it and the developed, you know, because i think a developed africa is going to cause many problems for the rest. And the waste on one that you think applicant contributed to the uplift meant to the economy of most of the combination that simple everything we contributed to the economy. Of our countries like france like it, you know, at the expense of our own african countries. I think the waste would love to see epic and develop a like china and russia, you mean . And if you look at that, that, that, that the growing presence of russia and, and, and
