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

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.

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

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

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

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

the u. s . does not recognize the taliban government springs from news we're getting out of washington d. c. now the 1st confirmation about the timing of that much anticipated virtual summit between president joe biden and chinese lead it. she ging ping. whoa. and now hearing that this meeting will happen on monday, being officially confirmed, let's go to our fisheries live for us at the white house. this comes against the backdrop of warnings from china, about a cold war between the 2 countries. a lot for the 2 leaders to get through. right. alan, exactly, and of course some it's still happened unless there is an outcome agreed in advance, and that's we're expecting to see joe biden would love to meet judging, paying in person, but that's not happening. the chinese president simply not leaving the country and hasn't done it since march last year. so this will all be done virtually will be done here at the white house. on monday, the will talk about a number of things that they have in common. f

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

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

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

but if i understand correctly that the u. s. has a policy that we talked about earlier about sam, there being a one china policy policy that, 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, taiwan, 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 understanding or undermine a possible understanding when it comes to meetings like this, because china, perhaps understandably, will say what 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 long standing since 1979. and i will also mention 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 you ever again present yesterday, reaffirm the u. s. commitment to the one china polic

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

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

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

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

while the u. s. is in relative decline. so for that reason, i think china seas, the time is on the side. meanwhile, united states that the reverse this, which has resulted in both military and economic conflicts are given that china has pushed back as well as kind of the test but its limits. i, i think both countries have a common interest in not allowing this to get out of control. but that being said, i think it is simply because the u. s. is the company rule it to the coin has more incentives to challenge? what is the status quo? victor glancing there, that essentially the china has it that says in a strengthening position and the u. s. is now at a disadvantage. do you think that that is what has motivated president teaching ping's acceptance of this public meeting with joe biden? though i think the president joe biden and president, she can be of china. they knew each other well for more than one decade. or they were a vice president's or the each other's country. they call along very well. and this meeting, the virtual

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

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

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

i was the last e fleet is u. s. was if the u. s. were to, to go up there and then rushes lexie lease, which has made russia one. so there's, you know, lexi reagan, i mean that's russia would no longer be of any importance. lassie, if you just look at a map, you'll see that the u. s. national law, romania will guerria. it has to as well with holes as it relates to getting all the train would have been amazing us in 2014, following the true care. russia, the great rushes rascal and the crime in guidance happens, and then the resistance and all that region that has asked us to these very frustrated. i'm on my colleagues here, said the u. s. invested lawson, money in 2014. i believe it was before in humans. who has voiced the sample, i thought us yesterday with the 5, the 5000000000 was from the, from independence all the way to 2014 nichol. i let me go to you. something that you've written about that i think is so important that our audience needs to know is that the way it's presented in western media, the way western analyst present,

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

the u. s. embassy in ethiopia is.

i think we in the u. s. should be an example and not the ones that set the bar so low that you can go around killing people by pressing a button. i and i take no responsibility for what you do if other countries do it than those people in their country, their civilians have to stand up and say, i don't want this done in my name. and that's what we in the united states who are anti war activists have been calling for it. but we need the international community to help us. the united states should stop meddling in the internal affairs of other countries. and then we wouldn't have to look at issues like these drones strikes and, and think of how we can hold the people who killed a family of 10 accountable. we just should stop doing it. and if the pentagon says will it, we've had to report, we've looked into it, this is our conclusion, and the government says, we go with that. that's fine. well, recalls his life of people like you and other american society. no, it's not enough. all the questions haven't been an

the presidents of the u. s. in china are holding a virtual summit to deal with issues the continued to cause tension between them. trade.

if the u. s. does the same as they did in afghanistan, which is to try to div legitimize, you know, the sort of post us occupation government care. and if they freeze $9000000000.00 of iraqi assets, they have done with the afghans foreign exchange reserves. and then then yes, i mean iraq will face to similarly humanitarian crisis that should use for now i'll have the next update. after sobering look at just how easy it is for your online life to be hacked without you ever suspecting a thing i am hacked is next to on r t. ah ah. well, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be in arms. race is on a very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk it really is no thing. they can't ride on police report, it's an all cash in december 2020, a group of anti finishes. sell out a film crew access for 3 months. so like if people are organi

s. to state the u. s. state department, almost immediately after accused russia of launching a direct ascent missile to destroy a satellite in orbit, which they say caused the danger on the i assessed washington called it a dangerous and irresponsible behavior. the russian federation recklessly conducted a destructive satellite test of a direct ascent, an anti satellite missile against one of its own satellites. rushes dangerous and irresponsible behavior jeopardizes the long term sustainability of our outer space and clearly demonstrates that russia's claims of opposing the weapons and weapon ization of space are disingenuous and hypocritical. nato made its own statement backing up some of the earlier accusations made by washington. but as the russian defense ministry said, the u. s. has its own types of similar tests in orbit and there's no outcry about those. and we also still don't know what exactly launched this debris into the path of the i assess so hardly a time for finger pointing ok. let's tal

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

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

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

and the u. s. companies that benefit from it. so that was the case in your sins or a 99 sees in the us. we also very much brought it and it's, it's the case here once it, once again, as you, as you may know us and then you can read it to you. last, last i did all this new military industrial complex in ukraine, which is going to cost a lot of money. and the u. s. as in announce that even mine, ukraine's literary contents low money against the main main simons off. and so she was very profitable. and of course, it is not good for us have polio grain, years if you know the muse convenience, let me ask you a certain amount of money. so the parents machines and, and don't last long. last. and that is that you will know with loss in their islands to getting some a so because don't ask within the crime, owes me blocky. a names are just like over there is blocking only it's killers at times. it makes it worse in this way. so it's not good for, for the u. s. a to implement those misgivings because then the
