7:04 pm
economy is doing. they're only taking his made up propaganda has to test x and repackage and gets and put the weights up in the morning comes that was effect g, d, p, the russian economy is hemorrhaging. every sector is down from 60 percent and to more than 90 percent, they have 0 foreign investment going into that over a $100000000.00 a year of foreign direct investment going in there. we know that by 3rd there 1000000 years of floods because the economy is in, is in distress. but he's surviving exec cannibalizing industry. and in and now this economy used to be 25 percent state and state control. it's now 70 percent state controlled and use of he uses that is cookie. as a cookie jar, there's no fees mortgaging rushes future. that may be the case professor, but it doesn't change the fact that these and sanctions have not brought this more to an end. and that is what everyone is waiting to happen as well. they, they need even more. there are chips that get through their military grade. sure.

7:06 pm
$10000000000.00 as of aluminum being bought by the u. that should stop $2000000000.00 of, of a, of titanium and things that can be brought to a halt. and that's what these new sanctions will tighten. i think the sanctions it even more than a and better enforcement on, on. i think some of the oil price gaps, which would help. well, i'm sure a lot of people are going to be watching to see if this round will will do the trick. professor jeffrey, it is only that we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis tonight. thank you. thank you so much. i. all right, here's the look now. some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, the united kingdom has imposed sanctions on 6 members of russia's prison authority . the individuals ran the arctic penal colony where alexa devonte died last friday . the u. k has frozen their assets and impose to travel ban. israel has said that they are promising early signs on a new deal to release hostages from gaza. i mean, regional talks to secure a pause in the fighting a war cabinets member,
