a 130 years after slavery was abolished by the battle for racial equality in brazil is far from over. ah, hello, the u. s. has joined forces with some of the world's biggest energy consumers to reduce their strategic oil reserves. it's meant to combat soaring inflation and high petrol prices, which are forcing people to cut back on essential supplies. but it also puts the u . s. and its allies on a collision course with oil producing nations, who so far, refused to increase their output substantially. induce as it will release 5000000 barrels, the u. k. one and a half 1000000 from private reserves. and japan and south korea will announce details in the coming days. but it's the u. s. that's releasing the most 50000000 barrels. 32000000 will be exchanged and then restocked and remaining 18000000. what ready authorized to be sold?

as a drop in the ocean of the total u. s. reserve. nearly 605000000 barrels stored in salt caverns. deep under louisiana and texas still is will be one of the biggest releases. those you to libby is uprising. hurricane katrina and the 1st gulf war. we're only around 10 to 30000000 barrels. and here's the problem. a steady increase in wholesale oil prices, which may have cooled lately, but still fueled higher prices at the pumps. or what has correspond can be how kit joins us live. it can be why is that you as president job on making this cool? now? i will, has a lot to do with the timing of the american thanksgiving holiday. this is a holiday that americans typically get into their cars and they drive great distances. and the problem is right now, some people can't do it because the gas prices are just too expensive, it's cost prohibitive for them. so that, that's one reason. another reason is,

in addition to the rising gas prices, what we're seeing are empty shelves in the united states supply chain issues. and that's led to some low approval ratings for joe biden. so he's been under pressure for some time by members of his own democratic party to tap into the strategic reserves, and it appears now he's decided to do just that. but his critics are arguing that this may be motivated by political concerns, rather than making sure the economy is bouncing back to the coven crisis. yes. or it might feel a bit like a tactical rosena strategic movement. will it? will it look? well, that's the big question. what we know right now is that centrally, oh, there is a real debate going on about whether or not the timing is right and whether or not this move is right. i, as you mentioned, there is a, this is something that was put in place as a result of the crisis in the 1970 s. and since then, this is really been designed to have this all reserve released if there is

a hurricane or some sort of natural disaster, not for managing prices. and the fear is that if this is really going to work, it might just be in the short term and actually drive prices up later. but the buying ministration says no, that's not the case because this is being done in coordination with other countries . and so that should alleviate some of those fear. so we're watching very carefully to see what the president will say about all of this. he is expected to speak momentarily and do, thanks very much. did to, kimberly, we will of course, bring you that to when the president biden start speaking. ah, won't telephone assertion is warning that could be another 700000 deaths from code 19 in europe by march cases have been rising as the weather gets colder, with daily rate doubling since late september in the netherlands. some patients are

the prime minister of the politically important satan, the south bavaria has been tweeting today that's in his stage right now. every 25 minutes, one person dies of corona will, that's extrapolated to a 24 hour rate is 50 and more every day, more than 50 barbarians. dying of corona point here is in terms of the actual numbers. 2 different milestones are in people's minds. the 1st one has already been exceeded more than 5000000 cases in this country, since the pandemic began. and the 2nd one, which is perhaps psychologically much more significant, is going to happen the next 2 days, potentially a 100000 people dead in this country. from corona right now, it's just below 99 and a half 1000, but with 300 people dying every day in this country from cove. it chanced to saw that in a couple of days time that mock will be reached with origin martinique save. people

took sweat in pepin. yours is southern france, particularly wet and italy satari beings. okay. you'll notice that if you run through the audience that's heading towards italy, i suspect later on thursday, the whole system gradually moving eastwards. but not abandoning spain completely as you can see. now, phyllis as we have got rain coming out of space into both morocco and algeria, that is a big gap. and although we get a few showers west, the gulf of guinea, much of north africa is dry. ah most people will never know what's beyond these. a deafening silence of 100000 forms. how it feels to touch danger every day. most people will never know what it's like to work with. every breath is precious

with, but we're not most ah ah, one of the top stories you know to 0. the u. s. has teamed up with some of the world's biggest energy consumers to release oil reserves are trying to bring down petrol prices and combat soaring inflation. it's expected to anger oil, producing countries should been refusing to increase output. the world health organization is warning. there could be another 700000 deaths from current 19 in europe by march. cases have been rising as the weather gets colder. the daily rate doubling since late september investigations had begun in bulgaria into the worst

boss crash in its history. at least 45 people, including 12 children, were killed when it caught fire and was carrying taurus from north macedonia. the head of the u. n's. nuclear watchdog, is heading back to vienna after meeting senior iranian officials in terren. raphael grossi said he was hoping to reach common ground with iran over its nuclear program, thus weak. his agency detailed its conflicts with the country, including a lack of access to surveillance footage from nuclear sites, and rough treatment of inspectors. the trip comes just days before world powers are set to try to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal with talks planned in vienna us a number of issues that we are working on as the president just said. it's very important that we put this in the perspective of the peaceful nuclear program of iran at a time where climate change demands that we work together that we add,

cleaned, nuclear energy to the mattresses around the world. and as it was discussed just a few days ago in glasgow, dosage of our joins is live at from doha dawson, what's, what else he achieves if on one, what are the iranians not could do next? while the head of the atomic energy agency is on his way back to the energy mentioned, it's a 2nd trip with a new administration and tear on. he was hoping to have some kind of an agreement about getting access to a very important site that is just outside of to her on it because the agency says they've been going blind as a result of a parent's sabotaged attack on one of the cameras in the site research starts in catch in the sub rough to her on that attack. her parents attack happened in june and since then with the radians have done is taken all the 4 cameras offline. and

the i was supposed to go in and replaced them and fix the ones that were having issues. but the reasons haven't allowed them to do that. and it's been nearly 6 months. and the i a is very concerned about what has been taking place at that facility that is somewhere they know the renews are putting together centrifuges, which will then in turn be moved along to the sites where they will enrich uranium . the head of the a met with the deputy foreign minister, as well as the foreign minister before leaving to iran. of course, raphael grossi is going to be explaining everything to the board of governors at the meeting that will be held in vienna, from the 24th of november from tomorrow until the 26th. and of course we have the nuclear talks coming up next week on november 29th. what he was hoping to achieve was some kind of a concrete agreement with the radians that the i, e, a inspectors would have access to that specific site. this site is being seen as, as a very crucial point in returning to the nuclear negotiations in vienna and the j.

c, p, o, a and in, as a, as a whole. because according to the director general, if their indians continue to limit their access, it's something that will be a major issue. but of course we're waiting to find out exactly all the details of what went down in the reading capital. once we hear from the director general, when he lands in vienna, i need you to speak to the media, then dosage of our thank you very much. indeed. the head of the european commission that says officials will blacklist transport companies involved and trafficking people to the e. u. r. almost $7700.00 migrants arrived in the block 5 dollars this year. also phone lines as she's coordinating with the united states, britain and canada. on further sanctions against a better russian government, which is accused of trying to destabilize the u. valerie says it's a sent more migrant back to their home countries on repatriation flights, but hundreds are still trapped in freezing conditions along the border with poland . a particularly cool form of hybrid threat has emerged with

a state sponsored instrumental ization of people for political ends. this is not a bilateral issue of poland, lat ventless one year with bella was it is the european union as a whole that is being challenged. this has been initiated and organized by the new crush ankle regime and its supporters, the uring people to the border with a cooperation of migrant smuggling and criminal networks. if you're saying face for non born child who was miscarried, bonnie, rocky migrant on the border, the baby died while the mother father and i. 5 other children crossed into poland through dense forests and wetland. charles remains were buried in and was in the cemetery near the bodies of other migrants whose funerals were held within the past 10 days. charles mother remained in a serious condition in hospital set vastness on the battery side of the border

where migrants are taking shelter from snow and freezing temperatures. while conditions in this campaign is getting harsher and harsher by today, it was freezing overnights. in the last couple of weeks, but now it's also freezing during the day and it has started to snow. not goods, it very much the be feeling very cold. this place is not or someone can live with it, like children cannot live inside this building is the warehouse not for living. this is how they're getting some water. does this help take you straight to white house and into president vine rooms? are likely to be hitting the road for united way, their loved ones in cities and towns all across america. to celebrate thanksgiving, as i do, i want to take a moment to talk about the economy of progress. we made the challenges we remain.

we have to face, we made historic progress over the last 10 months. unemployment is down to 4.6 percent, 2 years fashion, everyone expected. when we started, this job was over 14 percent wages arising disposal. my income is up. more people are starting small businesses and ever before. and our economy has created a record 5600000 jobs since i became president, january 20th. there's a lot we can be proud of and a lot we can build on for the future. but we still face challenges in our economy. disruptions related to the pandemic have cause challenges in our supply chain, which has spark concerned about shortages and contributed to higher prices. moms and dads are worried. ascii will agree enough food we can afford to buy for the holidays, or are we able to get christmas presents to the kids on time? and if so, will they cost me an arm and a leg. i told you before that we're going to take action on these problems. that's

exactly what we're doing. it starts with my port action plan. what proactive, 3 months effort to invest in our ports and relieve bottlenecks. 40 percent of the goods, for example, the come into this country on the west coast, come through 2 ports, los angeles, a long beach, tell bees that congestion of these ports are brought together labor management and ask them to step up and cooperate, to move from operating the porch and 40 hours a week at those boards to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. and i provided the resources to other key ports including savannah, georgia, and on the east coast on the east coast and to help reduce congestion. the new damage caused by coven, we also met the ceos a wal mart target, home depot, t. j. maxx and others. those retailers,

large retailers and others agreed to move products more quickly, stock to shells more quickly. and by the way, you may have heard the c o walmart yesterday on the steps we've taken, he said, and i quote, a combination of private enterprise and government working together has been really successful. you went on to say all the way through the supply chain. there's a lot of innovation because the actions we've taken things had begun to change. and a quote in the past 3 weeks. the number of containers sitting on docs, blocking movement are down by 33 percent. shipping prices are down 25 percent. more goods are moving more quickly and more cheaply out of our ports under your doorsteps and the store shelves. and so all these concerns a few weeks ago, there would be, there not be ample food available for nice giving. so many people talked about that . understandably, but families can rest easy grocery stores or well,

stock with turkey and everything else you need for thanksgiving. and the major retailers i mentioned are, can have confirmed that there are shelves. we well stocked and stores this holiday season. and that's good news for those moms and dads worried about whether the christmas case will be available. it goes for everything from bicycles, dice, gates. you know, today though i want to address another challenge and families are facing. and the one i think they're most focused on right now, high gas prices. this is a problem, not just turn the united states, but around the world. the price of gasoline has reached record levels recently in europe and asia in france at the end, the last month reached about $7.00 per gallon. in japan, it's about $5.50 per gallon. the highest suspended years, of course, is always painful when gas prices gas prices spike. today, the price of gas in america on average, is $3.40 a gallon,

and california is much higher. the impact is real, but the fact is we faced even worse spikes before. just in the last decade, we saw it in 2012 when the price of gasoline hit $3.90. we saw it in 2014 when it's $3.69. and re as recently as 2019 we saw a surprise, $3.00 in many places. the fact is we always get through those bikes, but we're going to get through this one as well and hopefully faster. but it doesn't mean we should just stand by idly and wait for prices to drop on our own. instead, we're taking action. the big part of the, of the reason americans are facing high gas prices because oil producing countries and large companies have not ramped up the supply of oil quickly enough to meet the demand. and the smaller supply means higher prices, globally, globally, for oil. to address these issues,

i got on the phone with leaders from other countries grappling with this challenge to try to find ways to lower oil prices and ultimately to, to the price you paid the pump. so today i'm announcing that the largest ever release from the u. s. strategic petroleum reserve tell, provide a supply we need as we recover from this pandemic. in addition, i brought together other nations to contribute to the solution, india, japan, republican korean, the united kingdom have agreed to release additional oil from their reserves. and china may do more as well. this coordinated action will help us deal with the lack of supply, which in turn helps ease prices. the bottom line. today we're launching a major effort to moderate the price of oil and effort that will span the globe and its reach and ultimately reach your call. your corner gas station, god willing. i've worked hard these past few weeks and calls and meetings with foreign leaders,

policy makers to put together the building blocks for today's global announcement. and while our company, our combined actually will not solve the problem with high gas prices overnight, it will make a difference. it will take time, but before long, you should see the price of gas drop where you fill up your tank. and then the longer term, we will reduce our reliance on oil as we shift to clean energy. right now, i will do what needs to be done to reduce the price you paid the palm from the middle class and working families are spending much too much in as a strain. and then you're the reason i was sent here to look out for you. there's another issue to be would be addressed as well because the fact is the price of oil is already dropping prior to this announcement. and many suggest in anticipation of the price of gasoline, the wholesale market has fallen by about 10 percent over the last few weeks. but the price of the pump hasn't budged. a penny. in other words,

gas supply companies are paying less than making a lot more. and they do not seem to be passing that on to the consumers of the pump . in fact, that the gap between wholesale and retail gas prices was aligned with past averages . americans have you paying at least $0.25 less per gallon right now. as i speak, instead, companies are pocketing the difference is profit. that's unacceptable. that's why i've asked the federal trade commission to consider whether potentially illegal on that competitive behavior in the oil and gas industry is causing higher prices for consumers. so we can assure the american people are paying a fair price for the gasoline. i also want to briefly address one miss about inflated gas prices. they're not due to environmental measures. my effort to combat climate change is not raising the price of gas or increasing its availability. what

is doing? it's increasing the availability of jobs. jobs building electric cars like the one i drove the g m, detroit in the gym, factoring detroit last week for the hundreds of thousands, the folks who brought one of those electric cars. they're going to save a 100 to a $1000.00 and fuel costs this year. and we're going to put those savings within reach more americans and create jobs, installing solar panels, batteries, electric key pumps, jobs making those clean power generating devices. and by the way, deploying these technologies for each home where they're installed, it's going to say folks, additional hundreds of dollars in energy cost every year. so let's do that. let's be climate change. with more extensive innovation and opportunities, we can make our economy and consumers less vulnerable to these sorts of price spikes when we do that. and finally, even as we meet a him, we need to work.
