Which the continent is least responsible for africa has. I dont want to be a lead. Im really the only economist without following the store to cope with. Plus, while the west coast of this new crane agenda most of the world wants a peaceful solution. Thats the message from russias foreign minister at the ongoing to 20 some and with a month out of the world. This is our international. Im Rachel Blevins here with the top stories of be our welcome to the program. Poland says it doesnt have any evidence to confirm who might have launched an alleged missile attack. Honest territory. Moscow says the fragments which have reportedly been found at the site do not resemble any rocket currently used by the countrys military. Thats all despite a different narrative being pushed by polish media. Statements by polish media and officials about in the legit Russian Missile strike our deliberate provocation aimed at escalating the situation. The Russian Military has not conducted any strike on a target near the ukrainian polish border. The fragments shown by the polish media do not pertain to russian weaponry in any way. These are unverified images, reportedly from the same were 2 local farmers have been killed. You can see damage vehicles in the rural area. Missile fragments reportedly found at the side are also visible. The polish Foreign Ministry said the projectile was quote, russian made not stating who exactly launched it. Thats as some reports alleged that the fragments are from a soviet as 300 air defense missile. I type currently used by the Ukranian Armed forces and nato aircraft, conducting surveillance above poland, reportedly tracked the missile, though it did not share where it was fired from former Us Marine Corps officer scott ritter says the missile that fell on polish territory likely came from ukraine. This is a tempest in a teapot. I think any forensic investigation is going to clearly show that this weapon was a ukrainian weapon. And not only that nato has the definitive proof that russia was not involved. Natal tracks the missile contracts of every russian strike in there. They know where the missiles hit, they know where the Ukrainian Air defenses were positioned when they fired at the trajectory of that. So nato knows, with 100 percent certainty, that the missiles that hit on were fired by ukraine and what kind of missiles they were. This is just a political game being played right now. The polish military, as on high alert, with the countrys leadership and contact with fellow native members about the incident, while poland nato allies in the baltic have accused russia of directly attacking the block and called for an immediate reaction. As war saw, as part of the alliance, a military attack on that country could trigger direct involvement from other allies. Now, natos article 5 states that an attack against any member say is considered an attack against all member states. This could lead to a collective military response, one of the alliances core principles. Article 5 has only been invoked once before following the terrorist attacks against the u. S. On september 11th, 2001. What is considered an attack is decided by the member states. However, natos top military power, the u. S. Has tone down its partners will to invoke article 5 jo, bite. It says the missiles were unlikely to be fired by russia, with the pentagon. Admitting that washington can not confirm whether they were used by the Russian Military. Well, i think we want to deal with facts, and so again, weve seen the press reports. And as i mentioned before, i walked in here no information to corroborate these reports at this time. But again, were taking them seriously and were looking into them. And so i think its incumbent on, on all of us to get the facts before we start speculating or jumping to conclusions. And then well go from there. Now it appears so far the United States has given a somewhat measured response, while some members of nato seem to be calling for an immediate escalation. We are hearing washington say that they need time to investigate and determine the truth. Heres what we heard from the state department, just after what we heard earlier from the pentagon. I dont want to speculate about hypotheticals, and were working with the polish government and our partners to gather more information and assess exactly what will happen. Were going to do that, we want to determine what will happen in permanent or written next steps. Now, joe biting is currently in bali for the g 20 summit. However, we understand that he has been briefed on the events on what has taken place. Now, as weve heard from the nato chief himself, the question remains, if this is a situation which article 5 would be involved in that would mean an immediate military response, or rather that this is a situation in which article 4 would be involved in which it would be important for countries to consult with each other. We understand that the nato countries are at this point in touch with each other trying to determine what happened and it appears the pretty solid position of washington. At this point is that more investigation is needed to determine exactly what happened while there are voices that are speaking loudly and calling for escalation the position of washington at this time from what were hearing in their statements is that they need more information before making a solid decision nato has scheduled an urban summit to be held later today. It is also said the international experts, including from the u. S. Are going to investigate the incident. These off the record, so called government spokesman, could get us engaged in a war and res hysteria. It already has got the, the Corporate Media all fired up, claiming that its all the components were russian, russia, we dont know that we have no idea what, what they are and what theyre to. It could be some piece of equipment from something that the ukrainians got from the west. Who knows, we got to be very careful because the next step in this is. Ready something that could, ah, in it involves a world war and thats what were trying to avoid at all costs. This thing could easily mushroom, this is a, a, were, were at a very rece important crossroads. And weve got a tread very, very carefully on this. And this should go before the you, when the u. S. Should appoint examiners of the equipment, ensure that that the debris rather to ensure a some objectivity so that both sides can accept certain conclusions. And thats what right now you dont have either side trusting the other and their so called experts say, so we really dont know. The only thing we do know is that some debris that fell into a foreign field that was not an intent to aim at military targets. Wheres the military target . So this, this is hysteria on steroids. Now all of this cons as ukrainian cities remain without electricity after russia has reportedly conducted around 85 strikes on ukrainian infrastructure data according to authorities and key f r t correspondence moran garcia has more details on the block, also affecting the country. Ukrainian government has described the situation with electricity as desperate evil, bordering on catastrophic in tar regions in ukraine have been plunged into blackouts, outages of being observed, observed all over the country. Lowball Network Operators limiting services in the bid to keep others rubbing, such as basic phone calls. In t f half the cities said to be with our power in oil. This is, this is as a result of a massive a volley of cruise missiles and other strikes. Of course, ukraine launched by the Russian Military of the euclidian sa. Good said the claim that 85 various strikes, most of them cruise missiles launched at various Critical Infrastructure such but you claim claims that 70 of those missiles what was shot down. These should be of course taken with a grain of salt. All of this information goes through military censorship. Across the border in the russian region of belgrade is that he have sha backing out has been, shall be Ukrainian Forces the bugger at region remains one of the main targets of ukrainian shelling. And i should warn you that the falling images may be disturbing for some viewers. You can see bloodied bodies of civilian victims, lying near a local pharmacy. The regions governor has reported at least 2 to us and 3 more wounded in the attack. A new uh, deals with as caught, 27 continues. There seems to be more bad news for africa. The continent news debates, millions of dollars to fulfill its nationally determined contributions under the paris agreement. Now, according to the World Economic forum, african countries will need 2. 00 trillion dollars to meet their obligations under the paris agreement, minimizing emissions. The african consummate produces less than 4 percent of global emissions, which pells in comparison with the 19 percent produced by the u. S and 13 percent by the European Union. The demand sparked protest among ecological activists with comp 27. 00 gas saying that other Solutions Must be found for africa. Can we be paid for the damages so far caused by extraction . Before weve been to leap down to see that we need to fedex drunk, which was benefiting in this for me to not africa. So if africans to develop, let africa, they dont look for solutions that are african and decide this other solutions we are going to take africa miss to go there. We africa has an opportunity to be a leader on build their own economies without following the store capaluto spots worries. Because if we start competing with historical polluters, their systems are a bit well developed. We might not be to them, but we can bid them by going great, we can bid them by being from your book where me us are cheese corolla, thought le, explains how the west helping hand is actually damaging south Africa Economy and putting the Countries Energy independence at risk, an 8500000000. 00 pledge made at last years cop 26th Climate Change conference in glasgow is finally coming to life rich nations of the west, who through their own industrial development, created the climate crisis. And now giving other loans to south africa to get it off of coal. Its called the Just Energy Transition plan is a deal between south africa and 5 other governments. The United States, the united kingdom, the European Union, germany and france. But whats in it for south africa . We are using the transition to produce so in debt, in circumstances where were not even using the transition to creating the best out of renewables. We just want to get one on a weston money. The, the, the, the, the equipment is gonna come from china and were just going to be of assistance of the debt and the image. So im sick, im, you know, im still skeptical about the strategy chem, so the benefit, the lumpkin benefit of 97 percent of the 8500000000. 00 will be loaned, while 3 percent will be grant protest in germany have already kicked off the process by depositing 300000000. 00 euros each to the South African treasury. This will be a 20 year loan, 5 years included of grace period. And they will be at an interest of 3. 6 percent for france and 3 percent for germany. But south africa says more grants and less loans would work better. While south africa welcomes low interest or concession loans, a substantial portion of this funding needs to be in the form of grants. The move towards lower Carbon Emissions is imperative as the toll will begin to weigh heavily on south africas economy. The list of Interest Rates rising is the one. The issue of south africa had been taken. The loans in foreign is only going to exacerbate the problem because the currency, the South African brand, will continue to we can i east all and all major currencies. But europe is essentially a fossil fuel addict and cannot currently survive without them when russia reduced this natural gas supply to europe. Leaders of italy, france, and actually germany came rushing to africa seeking the same fossil fuels they used to buy from russia. Europe wants to turn african to its gas station. We dont have to follow the footsteps of the rich world that actually caused Climate Change in the 1st place. And also so seen those who am, i mean, cold from south africa and guess from the rest of the continent, thats the focus that i think we need to be looking at and see what does it mean depths of this loan. So this touch the bulk of this 8500000000. 00. 19 percent of it will be used to the commission, south africas coal fired power plant, while 700000000. 00 is here, month for the Green Hydrogen projects. 200000000. 00 will be used to whats the electric vehicle industry over the next 5 years . Its taking into account that they chose them. Technology itself is inefficient and theres no body of evidence in europe in north america that that is actually doesnt work. Now what is about gusting for me is that theyre going to insist that we use Wind Turbines from germany, and we use solar panels from other parts of europe, including france. When russia actually has developed a solar panel with 42 percent efficiency, whereas the solar panels that they are going to be provided to. So thats again, results from this deal only of what an Energy Efficiency of 19 percent. Barely 2 weeks ago, the World Bank Approved a 497000000 dollar concessional Loan Facility with south africa state utility ask them to repose the commodity corner fired power plant using renewables and batteries. Escal can barely keep its life line and its 23000000000. 00 dead remains a liability to south africa. So its up to the close down it base loot source when you are currently sought. I mean weve been in rotating for, for, for, for 4 months now. But we closing down, you know, based on so that does not, you know, its not even an expend. Were not exactly, were, were making our break even much more under western nations, apparently taking a huge gamble in the south africa being a successful model for how developing countries can transition from high to low cupboard. While south africa is itself taking a huge gamble on the west, then green agenda, and some commentators say it is being done at the peril of risking Energy Independence and sovereigns. Gabriella sat on 4 out of tea and join his book, overshadowed by growing tensions. The g 20 summit opened in indonesia on tuesday. The world is watching to see whether leaders can agree on a closing joint statement as divisions deepen over the conflict and ukraine. Ah, most of the world has not cited with the west on the ukraine conflict. Thats the message from the Russian Foreign minister leading moscows delegation as the g 20 summit and Bali Ortiz Maria phenomena is there with more details. Well, many expected this year is d. 20 to be tough for russia ahead of the global gathering here in indonesia is bali longdon, for example. Sad that the venue could be used to confront moscow hand, call out booting. Also, we expected to see some extra moves towards even deeper isolation, both political and economic of moscow. That was the german tense was appeal again before they summoned officially started on the u. S. Also had plans to turn this event into an anti russian platform. Its picking up the press conference that he gave at the end of the 1st day of the 20 here, a foreign minister la rog, sad that far from everybodys ready to support this rhetoric pushing for a story. And the answer is very simple. No one except the west and its close of satellites joined the anti rushes sanctions. It is impossible not to touch on this topic because the west makes a priority to fro the ukrainian situation into any discussion. For 3rd world countries, a calling for a peaceful settlement for agreements the know perfectly well with this process is handed by ukraine, which is legally been negotiations with russia. And i have to say, were heard a lot here proving that the indonesian president , who is the cost of the j 20 summit, has asked the western leaders to tone down their rhetoric against russia. Well, china said that russia too important to be excluded from global formats. In for years we support russia and its worthy role in the g 20 summit, russia has Strong Influence in various spheres of cooperation of the worlds community. No one dares to deprive russia of its true right to participate in International Multilateral negotiations. It seems that the razor Division Within the west itself, we more more often hear words such as peace and negotiations from different west and politicians and officials. The new now seems to run out of sanctions imposed on russia. I had a chance to ask for minister la rog, whether we actually can take this as an official shift and if so, what could we expect . Lets take a listen, julia lucia. But julia, you never know whats going on in someone elses mind. Short periods of Mutual Understanding with the European Union evaporate quickly, just to die. I had a brief conversation with president micron, who reaffirmed his intention to maintain contact with latimer potency to find some kind of agreement and resolve the whole situation. As he put his voice, i told him once again, all the problems are on the ukrainian side, which categorically refuses any negotiations and put forward obviously unrealistic conditions such are inadequate in this situation. Record degrees, the man intrigue of this years to 20 was and still remains whether hates member is will be at all able to come to a consensus over the final declaration as the group which brings together 19 of the worlds major economists.
