s. is meaningless criticisms. we must demand that u. s. drops is frequent hedge, a monic action was of interfering in china's internal affairs. i. okay, i want to ask victor about this because we heard obviously very strong words from the us. but we also had very strong words from china. and that is unusual. and i've heard under president she whether he is directly responsible for this or not. there is, there is an assessment of that policy being described as aggressive diplomacy that china was no longer simply going to sit back and, and take the criticism. but, but it was actually gonna essentially take the fight to those who were opposed to it, but now we're seeing this change is that are suggesting, do you think that china has been, can become concerned that that policy has over reached the mark and has brought it closer to risky confrontation with the u. s. and others. and that perhaps is why we're seeing this dialing back of rhetoric. eugene took place on the very special circumstances. ah, weatherwise, it was very cold at that tim

but if i understand correctly that the u. s. has a policy that we talked about earlier about m, there being a one china policy policy that, that, that it agrees with the one china policy. but at the same time, president biden has said it will defend its allies. i. e, tie one to an outsider like me, that seems like a mixed message. it seems like 22 different sides of the same coin. does that counter any? and i'm understanding or undermine a possible understanding when it comes to meetings like this, because china, perhaps understandably, we say, well, you're saying one thing, but you're willing to do another and we don't exactly know where you stand on this . well, i would, i would say that u. s. policy has been consistent and longstanding since 1979. and i will also mentioned that we have domestic look legislation the taiwan relations act that governs our unofficial relationship with taiwan. so there have been no changes there whatsoever. yet again, the present yesterday reaffirm the u. s. commitment to the one china policy, the

the u. s. has a military presence in taiwan. tensions between beijing and taiwan around the rise . china is a full sent a rec, hold number of war planes into the islands a defense zone. last month. china is the use largest trading partner. taiwan economy remains heavily dependent on china. and taiwan is one of the world's biggest technology producers. for example, it supplies many components for the latest smart phones the. let's bring our guests into the show. we have joining us from type brian hugh writer and founder of new blue magazine in boston in south korea, robert kelly, professor of political science and diplomacy at present national university. and in beijing, victor gout chair, professor at su chow university. welcome to all, i could stop, pass this time with victor. what message is being sent? do you think to china by the congressional visit to taiwan? well, 1st of all, this congressional visit to the, or to taiwan a by the u. s. members of congress is a serious violation of the one

and they are reliance on the u. s. with purity, solar, taiwan, but in this case, against the threat of russia. and so, i think the point i want is a way to signal strength in relation with the u. s. in this, they have no motivation whether western european countries follow. i mean, there's no question that isn't so on from the europe is the leader of that is french. that is to be esteem. however, i think that, you know, we have to be careful in terms of how we look at the economical issues. when china, for example, when, when there is pressure applied to it, it actually oftentimes will boycott, for example, suitable good to register this budget, red south korea or other countries and the political pension permit. these are not good, but it's on supply chains for life on such doctors. and i think we need to be a little more specific here rather than think of things in the is very fuzzy. obstructions. ok, i think we've got about a minute left. so let me try and get in a final word from victor and victor. what's the botto

in this discussion from the u. s. s r would transform ukraine into a country as prosperous as france ah, in the context of the ussr longstanding economic crisis, such claims had a significant effect on society. the peoples movement of ukraine was rapidly moving in a more nationalistic direction. it entered parliament as a force in opposition to the communist party. in his charter, one of the goals was the withdrawal of ukraine from the u. s. s. r. they were spreading leaflets. the saying that your queen was going to become the 2nd france, my lawyer, and i say i knew what the telescope give it that they should. she knew it suddenly when the steptoe a good a noise which us maybe 2000000000 still it will it she stuff went up again. ye scam like hello say you could to a boy love sousa like de leon? yeah. okay. in the what serious go sales? ah yes, good out propaganda to some guy named me for my loan. so n, as in effect, putting a swish thought lost on religion also get on rebel grains come a little more mission confusion.

the u. s. navies attempts to seize it . soil in the sea of oman, the u. s. accuses iranian forces of a dangerous maneuvers. every day, more people are suffering and dying. fear and human rights chief releases a report on ethiopian war documents and what she describes as extreme brutality. the local u. s. election results that have republican celebrating and president jo biden's, democrats, worries, and boys by major climate announcements. leaders had home from cop 20 sakes, leaving officials to negotiate the sticking points. like finance. hi, i'm side a hired at that. i'll have the latest on the atlanta braves when the old series in an epic style against the houston astros. ah, iran says it has foiled and attempts find the a snazzy to seize it. soil in the sea of oman, iran's elite revolutionary guard, says its troops ordered the ship carrying iranian oil on october 25th, saying the tanker was about to be taken by the u. s. u. s. has rejected the allegations and accused iran of staging, dangerous maneuvers at sea. well, joining me and i were in the studio

and the u. s. or a companies that benefit from it. so that was the case in your sins or 99. he's in the us also very much broader and it's, it's the case here once a once again, as you, as you may know, us and your new friend, me, that se last class. last, i think all this new military industrial complex in ukraine, which is going to cost a lot of money. and the u. s. as in announced even money literary projects against the main main signs of a very profitable project. and of course it is not good for us. oh you rain? yes. if you go the music agreements, let me just ask you a certain amount of money. so the currents jeans in it don't last long last. and that is that grant will know with lots in reference to getting some a so because don't ask within the crime, owes me lucky and sam's will be granted. names are just like with scott is blocking only it's scholars at times. it makes it worse in this way, so it's not good for, for the u. s. a. implement those misgivings because then they will, they wil

and this discussion from the u. s. s. r, which transform ukraine into a country is prosperous, france ah, in the context of the u. s. s. ours longstanding economic crisis, such claims had a significant effect on society. the peoples movement of ukraine was rapidly moving in a more nationalistic direction. could entered parliament as a force in opposition to the communist party. in his charter, one of the goals was the withdrawal of ukraine from the u. s. s. r. they were spreading leaflets. the saying that ukraine was going to become a 2nd france. my $1000000.00 is and i say i knew what the list of kids and they said she knew it. so given the steptoe a good a noise switch us maybe to medium. so it will it she stuff. what am i going? yes, kim. like hello, say you could do it a boy, a love sousa? like de leon? yeah. okay. in the what cisco sales. oh, it's good propaganda. it's a song by name me for my long sawing as a music, putting a swish thought avenue. awesome. good. would you also get on rebel green's come on, little mo

s. has never been weaker in their mind. the u. s. has never been more prime to be toppled from its position of power in the world. and china is actively doing that in many ways. but i don't think they're doing it simply for the sake of toppling in the united states. i think they're doing it in order to do what they believe is best for china. and believe it believe this, that she's being really concerned with this idea of re unification. as kind of the crown jewel in his administration, in the time that he's been in power, i think this would be the thing that would kind of be his, his key note moment if he can pull it off. and so i think he is absolutely committed to moving forward on it. now chris, have about a minute left, but the real question is, where it economics show, we started talking about these pairs from the trump administration. do we actually anticipate that this issue will be covered during this discussion? looks like that's actually going to be taking a back seat here because according to a senior bite in the ministrat

in the u. s. k, i can't speak too much, but on the, on the us end of it, you know, the business community has been promoting investment in china for a long time, and u. s. investment or the us business community has sort of pushed back on on hawkish voices in washington, dc. and the think tanks, you know, again, those want to take a harder line on china. now us business minute is actually softened a lot and it's not nearly as bullets in china is. or there been a lot of issues with piracy and intellectual property and things like that and china. so i don't think that you are a business community sort of deterring the hawks anymore. increase in the hawks in the us are dominating the conversation. you saw that by and then trunk, right. there's increasingly a bipartisan sort of agreement that, that china is what a strategic competitor. i suppose. i don't want to say in enemy, i don't think we're there yet. but a strategic competitor. i think most americans would agree with that is the view from ty pay

the u. s. was much more concerned with defeating iso ah at the end of 2016 after weeks of bombing, syrian government forces retook a lap of the country. second largest city had been an opposition stronghold and a symbol of hole didn't like it at the other than a food. and although less of the food, what is the theme of believe that is on the duty of the feel fellow, by the 5th of one of the whole of the money that while us had remained in power, obama's turn ended in 2070. and donald trump became us president from relative inexperience and his perceived closeness to vladimir putin, may have encouraged asset to authorize further chemical attacks in april 2018. and we begin today with a horrific attack overseas, and a forceful threat here at home. the pictures coming in a warning, they are difficult to look at. children being hosed off, treated after an alleged chemical attack. and duma president trump responding on twitter, vowing a big price will be paid, slamming syrian president bashar al ass

c, or said me, o s e 's, mom, why i asked the u. s. nichol, i, i think the nightmare scenario is the following. is that considering the, the rhetoric that's coming out of care of being very frustrated, not getting into the nato club is as fast as they would like. i think they just, that nato nations are just dangling that in front of them. however, he may want to press the issue and that's the nightmare scenario. but this how it, this is how it plays out. is it, there is a military conflict. russia's red lines are cross, there is a conflict. ukraine is a left in tatters. um, and maybe even potentially broken up into smaller pieces. but it, what is a loss for ukraine is also a loss for russia, because this is a way to cut russia out of the europeans architecture forever. forget at least generations here. this is one of the things that the people in washington want and what you and at the end result is ukraine is the biggest loser, and they win their policy objectives. so actually ukraine is the cannon fodder for this object objective

but because the u. s. does not recognize the taliban as the legitimate government in cobbled because of deep concerns about cia. it's a treatment of afghan women and children of its treatment of religious minorities, of its commitment to engaging in put the u. s. considers a fundamental rights the right to free expression, the right to a political engagement. the right to challenge the government saw policies. it is not going to extend that recognition, but the u. s. has an obligation to us citizens and to afghan citizens who worked alongside the u. s. government during the 20 year long war. and so this is really a way for the us to be able to meet its obligations to us citizens and their families, as well as to afghan citizens who cooperated with the u. s. military l largely as well as basically having that back door channel to communicate to the taliban on to lesson until there is some sort of political transition. one that would meet the u . s. a. standards, in which case you would then see a recognitio

but there has been some progress. china and the u. s. the world's top greenhouse gas emitter, say, vail increased cooperation deals to n d 4 station cut methane and phase out fossil fuels have also been made. but financing the transition remains a sticking point for all of those. let's bring an anderson and he's joining us from cop 26 and glasgow. so, andrew, what are we expecting to happen in the coming hours? well, collective moment in history is the way loc sharma, the cop president, described it. and with that, a, he briefed all the delegates or what was happening in the hours ahead, although no one can predict which way there will swerve or where there could be hitches or, or successes or otherwise. so basically the situation is this, we are expecting within the next hour or so a revised text document, that is the draft document for the final 7 settlement, the communique, if you will. and that will set out changes, adjustments, they could be nuances, they could be more than that. they could be big issues, issues such as fossil fuels

his reason for refusal was his objection to the u . s. s. r's policy towards the greek catholic uni, a church, and the orthodox auto selfless churches. ah, there was no doubt that such a stuff did not go unnoticed in ukraine. august 19th, 1991. the august jew in moscow. though my youngest brother was yet though, at issue gorbachev was removed from power, most of the regional leaders in ukraine supported the initiators of the to the state committee on the state emergency. landed craft took, took a wait and see attitude without issuing any strong statements. 2 days later, the crew attempt failed friendships and pushed the declaration of state independence in the supreme soviet the idea as a vision to vassar and at the block of anathema. mister, go mistake was persona committal, who in summer, the input that made it to come, the fellow trusted just by melissa molina from thus, the image which recipient goes to text of the machine. yeah, another trust. some story, you know, toronto beef is the portal and this is the 3rd declaration of indepen

a u. s. navy attempt to seize its oil in a sea of m on the u. s. accuses iranian forties of dangerous maneuvers. ah, norm taylor, this is al jazeera live from london. also coming up every day, more people are suffering and dying. the un reports extreme brutality on both sides of ethiopia as war as taylor, i rebels say they're closing in on the capital. a major blow for us president joe biden, and the democrats in local elections entre surprised. victory by republicans in the state of virginia. and the 2 landmarks, climate commitments made. officials at cop 26 negotiate how they'll finance plans to slow global warming down. ah hello iran says it is foiled. an attempt by the u. s. navy to seize its oil in the sea of amman, iran's elite revolutionary guard says its troops boarded a ship, carrying iranian oil on october 25th, saying the tanker was about to be taken by the u. s. the u. s. has rejected delegations, and accused iran of staging, a dangerous maneuvers at sea. i wrong corresponded also. jibari joins us live from doha, da. so what's, what

it is the u. s. putting into china sovereign affairs, which basically and that the u. s. is putting itself in the middle of conflict and has absolutely nothing to do with it. so totally backtracking on what they had said that the us wants competition and not conflict. so it is expected that present she jane pain will use this meeting to worn by then to step back on taiwan issues as beijing is resolved to realize national re unification. and to answer the question, china is extremely serious about this because it has always been this one, china policy always been for hundreds of years and that is not going to change. and so this is a matter of china sovereign affairs. so in order to reduce the risk of a collision between china and the us, the us has to prioritize its objectives, what it alternately wants to achieve with china going forward. and then for the us tie, one away can be seen as a pon and its competition. this competition with china, because this would mean that china would continue to exert its economic and political power spreading its influence. and this is so

the u. s. military has concluded, not a bought drone strike enough. galveston in august was not lawful and showed no sign of negligence. despite the strike killing 10 civilians including 7 children and not a single terrorist. the u. s. or a force inspector general announced the pro findings the investigation did found no violation of law including the law of war. did find execution errors confirmed by confir may or a combined with confirmation bias and communication break, the breakdowns that regrettably lead to civilian casualties. what essentially the pentagon is saying that their own investigation has found them not guilty. what they have said is that as we heard execution error as well as communication breakdowns and other big things are, what are, what are to blame and all of this. so they can get away with without pinning the blame on anyone. in particular, the full report is, is redacted and classified for security reasons. they say, nevertheless, the pentagon says that this investigatio

and over in scotland, the u. s. and kind of now it's a joint agreement reached at the cap when he thinks climate summit with both country fledging, clamped down on greenhouse gases. we'll talk shop about the latest emissions deal between the 2, the power the lot to get to look at the work. and we leave the program with the state of crypto currency regulation in the united states in an effort to pay for the recently passed $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure bill, while makers have included new tax requirements on crypto currency, the new rules attempt to limit tax evasion encrypt currency by placing new tax reporting rules that apply to digital assets like crypto and, and f teeth in trying to sell the need for tax to tax these assets in 2018. the iris actually pointed to research that showed the tax gap on crypto related capital gain was roughly $11500000000.00 in the year of 2017 thing. it probably widened quite a bit since that a couple of the key points in the bill include brokers needing to report transactions

the u. s. doesn't recognize it's on a bond government at least 15 people have been injured after a bomb was set off and assume the mosque enough kind of samsung ha province. in a space of similar attacks on a, she almost almost all of been claims like ice well enough kind of 9200 nations are considering a draft agreement on the final day of the un climate. some it's in glasgow. the core aim is to keep the parents agreement to live the camp global warming at 1.5 degrees. volunteers in the house and demanding more access to the border with valerie for refugees and migrants are trapped about 2000 people. living in dia, freezing conditions as governments trade, accusations, and threats about the crisis. that is to be submitted to us to what's available for those since mid october. we've been approached by over 3000 people that being trapped since the beginning of november. we've been asked by at least 900 people of undertaken 131 humanitarian intervention to help those stranded polish government ne

i mean, at the u. s. with its policy objectives at the very least will be dissatisfied to have a cold conflict that is just a headache for mosque. i mean that is acceptable to them because it's really actually at low cost. ok. so i mean they, that the, they, they have a ra, a wide array of objectives, but just keeping in a frozen conflict is, is good enough. i mean, that's what it says as a cynicism would tell me, go ahead, jeremy. so i guess it bogs the russians down, i mean it's also good for the weapons makers and it gives justification for, you know, huge military spending and another, a conflict with them. and so i think this is an intractable conflict. i mean, as he pointed out, that the people of eastern ukraine are more oriented towards russia and they're going to continue to mean they're not gonna give in. and, you know, i think the ukraine military, it's been something a quagmire for them, and then ukrainians don't want to fight their own people. that's why they've had to rely on these private m

the u. s. has imposed a new round of sanctions on the north stream to gas pipeline between russia and germany at the major's target. a russia linked farm and 2 vessels on follow. a year's long campaigned a scope of the project, which is now complete. it's still awaiting the green light from european regulators, though, and not everyone's bowing to the sanctions pressure. as a serbian president explained to the russian media gas was i'm proud of the fact and i want people in russia to know this that so be a firmly resisted pressures. we never cause any problems to south street or turtle dri for balkans trailers mahoney. today. we've built 400 kilometer, but i run across our country together. we're gas probably, you know, today we already have gas flying through this pipeline. we're the only country in europe that has never invited any sanctions of any measures, any decisions against russia's in trend lager. we pursued the european path, but we never do anything with damage or nations with the ru

b r 's by the u. s. government isn't just, you know, dumping all this crude oil into somebody who will that everyone then gets, it does need to take it needs take us. and the 1st tranches mentioned, you mentioned earlier, it is a low. so if you take a loan now that you have to repay in, in a couple of years time, you are ex, effect we taking a on a bet on future prices. and it depends very much on the condition that this loan will be offered up. whether you wanted or, and the 2nd fraction also will be put out in an auction tender. and it just will depend on whether the, the private, all industry figures that's a good deal. and because this is a big difference between us and for instance, china, which is also released as p r 's of last couple months. china isn't part of the international energy agencies that are not bound by this pledge to know it flows prices that quite open about whether they like prices or not. and also in china, the vast majority of all companies are state control. so the governmen

but some of this side agreements like the u. s. and china working together like india has an as 50 percent renewables in the by 2030 as extraordinary stuff. so we are getting the but gee whiz, wouldn't do like to see it faster. peter, you mentioned astronomy and we spoke about it a little bit earlier in the program that australia had been described as a climate pariah by critics. why are we saying such a lack of action on phasing out of co from cambra? well, it's the particular national government that we have. it's sort of love that climate change. it was cynical, it said, oh, you know, you can take it or leave it. and for some people that was acceptable for most people, 80 percent of australians now want on to greater action in climate and are state governments and local governments are very active. they have very committed some of them in the same parties as the federal government. but it's been a real leg got out there so we, we certainly are proud of them. but there's a lot happening on the ground. and that's the same in ameri

and the u. s. has invest in something like, you know, just in a bind administration, $275000000.00 in defense in spending towards ukraine. and it's senior, the conflict seems to be re, re igniting in the, in eastern ukraine. so i think at the u. s. is heavily invest in ukraine and the project of nato expansion. and he said that, you know, the goal is to weaken russia, prevent the ro, resurgence of russian empire and to dominate that region of the world and control the resource, including the oil and gas resource of central asia. ok, well or as we already heard from nikolai, we heard from jeremy. so it's all about russia. it's not about ukraine because that's what we keep getting all over again. i mean, i find this really extreme. what, what, what about democracy? you know, what about protecting other members of the a lot? no, it's never that it's always, you know, this is a way to hinder rushes now. so security and trust, this is what this all about. go ahead, ernst. a brand list. i guess the reaso

ah, more than 200 haitians deported from the u. s. in cuba returned on wednesday to a capital in crisis, the basket level, the message of it and the other. my life was in danger, so i fled. now this sent me back. i ran from hell, and now i am back. if anything haiti's condition has worsened it's economy crippled by a fuel shortage. it's streets ruled by gangs it's government under threat. john henderson, l g 0 port prince napoleon struggling to rebuild in the aftermath of catastrophic natural disasters. in recent months, hundreds of people have died in flooding treated by monsoon rains. experts a climate change may be making these weather events even more extreme. same as robbie has more from mel m. she, in a polls seem to cultural district district in one of the poorest and most polluted countries in the world. everyone is saying the same thing. climate disasters with intensity that has never been seen before, are piling up faster than ever. nipples, cascade of crises began in february with country wide forest fires, the black in the

the u. s. of course is busy with doing, excuse me, work and has the deadline by the end of this year by which to finish doing this. we are following the reported drone attack. this apparent act of terrorism, which we strongly condemn, was directed to the heart of the rock estate. our commitment to our iraqi partners is unshakable, the another se sent with the government and people of iraq. kristen colton. that peace come to rec, particularly now amid the u. s military withdrawal, and that is why washington is watching events so carefully. the united states was among the 1st countries to praise the results of last month elections. of course, they will be particularly concerned and how things are developing their jamal lateem is a professor of history and international relations at the lebanese university in beirut. and he says that the assassination attempt could have been designed to send a message. this bomb being 1st could be false lagging on behalf of some group to be taken by the prime mini

the u. s. embassy in ethiopia is.

go ahead, nick, like, i think the u. s. policy is objective is to obtain eventual membership for nato in ukraine. this has been part of a long term objective of separating ukraine from the russian empire, and thereby preventing any reconstitution of the russian empire or of the soviet union. but a, it cannot be done quickly because of the objection of other major nato members to this. okay, well jeremy, essentially the same question because we know like for example, when things were simmering in the spring, it was the germans and the french were saying slow down, everybody slow down everyone. they were very adamant about it. and then we had zalinski, basically throwing temperature temper tantrums, about not being able to get in the club. all right, and now we have this late latest flurry of quote unquote, a diplomatic maneuvers here. i mean it and also, and nichol. i didn't mention it, but that there is the for knowledge that russia is adamantly against this. it has its own security interest to to, to take into consideratio

whereas the u. s. the sank, of course we all committed, of course we'll. but we are reserving the right to walk away if there is clear evidence of any kind of violation. also the us says to iraq, we want you to comply with the terms of this agreement. before we start listing any sanctions, so there is still some pastry going on, even though we have the state. you know, we've heard from the secretary state anthony blinking in the last few days. he was doing the rounds on the morning talk shows the weekend. he was asked all about this and he said, and he said my quotes that we are also looking at other options now. read into those words, whatever you want. lauren, but the fact of the matter is that there is an acceptance or a concern that runs nuclear ambitions could lead to conflict in the middle east, particularly israel. nobody's saying the words military strikes, but enough hence have been dropped, that people are concerned. and of course we have the timing of the release of this video on the iranian side. yeah. and what a pentagon officials said about t

the u. s. didn't want china to building out our own communication network, even though there have been no evidence of any wrongdoing on our part. so meanwhile, the circumvention is to help to get chips which is related to his bread and butter consumer mobile devices division, which is completely unrelated to their networking. so i can see that by ministration, not be happy about this work around and trying to do something about it. but there will be no legitimate reason for doing that because they're simply selling mobile phones to customers, to chinese customers. so there's no national security threat around that. ok, so it's shipped from from why way over to trying to telecom. because on monday trying to telecom at the fcc to put a temporary hold on it's decision. they're gonna force that company to discontinue us services by early january. they said that this short timeframe is gonna harm it's business, reputation and relationships. obviously that's already happened. but what exactly is the

earlier this month, the u. s. u. s. officials placed it on a trade blacklist. rescue and recovery operations are continuing in southern india after devastating floods. at least 30 people are dead or missing. thousands have been evacuated to relief camps as more heavy rain is predicted over the next few days. elizabeth, for on a report. the southern city of ben glued who has received more than $400.00 times the amount of rain it usually does in november. flooding has led to the deaths of at least 24 people in the state of car malika and thousands have been stranded, emergency workers using boats to rescue people from their homes. but a lot of writing is that heavy rating is probably likely to continue 3 or $4.00 to $603.00. it's not nearly 3000 because we are living in other parts of the glue to many can't get into their homes. we can't go inside the house and there's too much water in front of it. all the groceries are inside and we've been outside the house since last night. many people are concerned, they could be

the agreement also shows just how far relations between the u. s. and cutter have come, despite occasional differences. after nearly 50 years of diplomatic ties, the trumpet ministration backed the g. c. c. blockade against doha, imposed in june 2017. a diplomatic route, only resolved in january, and analysts say cutter's new role representing the interests of the world's most powerful country. and a contentious region represents a payoff of years of diplomatic ambition. cutter has been in the game, so to speak for quite some time when it comes to the situation with afghanistan and rest relations with our on. so i actually think that it's a very logical choice, and i think it makes good sense from us and bo, his perspective the deal between the u. s. and cutter is limited and scope. it doesn't mean that they agree on how to engage the taliban as a political entity and only experience show whether having a proxy represent the u. s. t, as interests and cobble will actually satisfy it's long term national security goals. rosalyn jordan al jazeera, the

the u. s. as lucas shank, as activities aim to distract from russia's activity, is on its border with ukraine. as many as a 100000 russian troops estimated to have mast, their sparking fears of a possible invasion. in recent weeks, sir, we have seen large and unusual concentrations over russian forces so close to cranes, sir borders. and they, it further publication her or aggressive actions by russia would be of serious concern. we call on russia to be transparent about its military activities. it is important to prevent escalation and reduce tensions. the u. s. state department says russia has tested an anti satellite missile against one of its own satellites in a test that generated a dangerous amount of space to every it force the 7 astronauts on board. the international space station, 2 of them russian to seek shelter in their docked capsules. spokesperson ned price said the test generated more than $1500.00 pieces of debris. ah, donald trump's former political advisor, steve bandon, has a
