us africa relations. december on al jazeera. ah al jazeera ah, when ever you, ah, ah. the group of 7 nations and australia, join the european union in setting a price cap on russian oil. ah, carrie johnson misses out. is there a lot from dough? so coming up, south africa's governing a and c postpones a decision on the president rama poses political future. off to inquiry found evidence of possible misconduct forced out to the land of his birth. israel orders

the deportation of a palestinian lawyer or the well kept cameroon, secure. a memorable consolation. whenever brazil, 5 time champion, still finished top begging ah, european union has decided on a, at $60.00 a barrel price cap on russian oil, a carrot bite, c tanka u. s. u k, canada, japan and australia have also agreed to the cap is aimed at to starving the kremlin of cash, to fund its invasion of ukraine, while avoiding a search and energy prices. the deal will come into effect to long with an e. u in bog, at one russian crew. doyle, which prevents shipments by tanka to the block, the aims to have the cap in place by monday from the hall has more from london, has been the subject of really quite fraught negotiations between you remember, states for months. now initially over the sort of market economics of an oil cap at

all, and then over the price at which any oil cap might be said, poland has joined estonia. they were the 2 main holdouts among the member states in agreeing to an e. u commission proposal. made on thursday to set an oil cap at $60.00 a barrel. with that verification mechanism for the price to be revisited every 2 months to ensure that it remains at least 5 percent in theory, at least 5 percent below. whatever the market value of russian is deemed to be, now, this isn't going to affect pretty much in any way e u countries ability to buy russian oil at any price. because from monday, december, the 5th a band comes into play only you countries buying any rational at all where it has global significance. though, in limiting you countries ability to license and insure vessels. many of them registered in new countries carrying the cbl and russian oil. the so called euros

oil to big oil consuming economies like india and china. so the point of any kind of a russian oil price cap is to take as big a bite as possible out of russia's war chest independent experts appear to agree. they're already pointing out that this measure as set now appears somewhat toothless with the value of rational already just about $60.00 or even less. or how does the price cat work, and how will it affect market swell countries that sign up will only be able to buy seaborne oil at $60.00 a barrel, india and china. russia's top oil buyers, accounting for more than 40 percent of exports. they've been getting huge discounts and they're not interested in joining the price cap. a western countries say they won't ensure shipments that sell russian oil above it, as especially a problem for india, who have no direct pipeline to russia. western allies, no. russia's remaining oil buyers aren't going to join in on sanctions. instead,

they're hoping a caps give buyers leverage to demand even lower prices. they're by cutting moscow's revenue. as in service, she's a senior research fellow, the oxford institute for energy studies. he explains the impact the ease measures will have on russia and energy market. a potent exports of all, and all products extremely important because in the old days it was 4 5th of all his energy exports. now of course the gas prices are change, so that ratio some different. so he needs to sell oil, whatever he said. now of course, the risk is that he doesn't sell the oil. god knows you know what to process like him. you know, can come up with anything. in that case we could see a big fall in rushman sports. in fact, i think we are very likely to see fall in russian expos because something i don't want to go into too much detail for us. but a on february, the 5th we have, we have a cap on russian oil products, which i think is b font mumbled serious as far as i can see it on the through the

old side. there won't be any impact on now or the products will be, will make a big impact. and i think we'll see a fall in russia next was a small 11 and a half 1000000 bottles into petroleum experts which will meet somewhat higher prices. secondly, european very buy up, but it's not the key buyer. the be the key bar in the old market is china, india and the others. europe is an important of course. so it's, it's little bit like going to test goes in saying, we'll pay $0.55 for milk. well, you can say whatever you want, but you're not going to get milk. the kremlin says that my person is open to talks about the so called special military operation in ukraine, but it's wanting that washington must accept its demands on areas under russian military control. let us present, joe biden said he was willing to meet russia's present if he moves to end the conflict. germany's chance that will circled for a diplomatic solution and a phone call with putin. i'm prepared to speak with mister prudent.

if in fact there is an interest in him, decided he's looking for a way to end the war. he hasn't done that yet. if that's the case, in consultation with my friends should know friends. i'll be happy to sit down with put in to see what he wants has in mind. mohammed ball is in moscow, he explains the criminal's position russian and american leaders have been repeatedly talking about the need for. busy negotiations to end the war in ukraine on this or offer by president biden, for a direct meeting with president putin has been received here with a mixture of welcome and precaution, the spokesman of the kremlin mitre prescott. he talked about 2 problems in this offer. one of them is natasha is required to a pledge or a promise to withdraw from the land it occupies in ukraine. and the other one is

that the americans don't seem to be ready to recognise. but this land now belongs to a to russia. so our us is very critical of the western stance in general, and they don't see the west as a reliable partner. these negotiations put in had a call a phone call with a german chancellor, olaf schultz in which he asked germany to reconsider its position towards the war ukraine. and he said that arming ukraine by the europeans, it makes it difficult for the ukrainians, or makes it less desirable for ukrainians to accept any negotiations at the present moment. and a put in or so talked about it. and he tried to justify what's going on. right. now the bombing of the ukraine infrastructure, he said, but russia abstained for. busy long time from attacking ukrainian infrastructure on a wide scale. but what is going on now is a reaction to ukrainian attacks on russian history infrastructure,

including the crimea bridge. south africa's governing party has postponed a decision on the political future in battle, president silver unopposed. after an independent panel recommended parliament should consider launching an impeachment, process, or a present was investigated after he failed to report the theft of a large sum of us dollars from his private game funding 2020. he is initiated, a raft of anti corruption reform since taking office of the allegations, plague the agency under his predecessor, jacob summa, and says national executive committee will meet again in the coming days just ahead of the parties elective conference. whereas oppose there was why expected to win a 2nd time in office the any fee, if we've gone to, they decided that they would like that the report to be given to the officials of the l. c. fest or fishes must process it convenient

n w c was the n w says done will convince the any, see, and we should do this before the 6th of december. so between, for more than sunday we do all that and them it. in fact, let's not discuss today. let's identify louder officials to meet and obviously, and then come back. so we'll come back to the embassy for i'm a jim, jim has more now from johannesburg. everybody who had assembled to report on this meeting and to even observe this meeting was quite stunned that barely 45 minutes after the meeting started that it was abruptly adjourned. and there was a lot of confusion as to exactly why that happened. i heard mister marsha tilly and that sound by talk about the steps that he says must happen next going forward. he says that there's going to be some officials in the a and c. they're going to be reviewing this independent panels report on so,

or i'm a poser and then he says that those officials are going to be briefing another committee of the a in c. and then there will be another meeting taking place of this executive committee. that's the decision making body within the a and c, that's the meeting that was supposed to have happened today, and that was very short. i was very truncated. now the questions immediately are, how can all of the steps be taken before tuesday, december 6th, that is a key day in this ongoing political crisis saga, because that is when the national assembly is going to meet when they are going to take up the issue of this independent panels report ensemble closer. they may vote to go ahead and initiate an impeachment panel with in parliament at one point, it looked as though mister rom oppose might actually come to the meeting today to defend himself. at another point, people thought that he was not going to make an appearance. he did not make it appearance, but then also people thought that eventually the, the people involved in this means they might actually vote to ask mister opposite

to step aside. that didn't end up happening so there's a lot still to be done and a very limited amount of time to do it. israeli forces have so dead 22 palestinian men in the occupied westbank. witnesses say had been involved in a car accident when in very sattler before being apprehended and shot at close range. israeli police say the man had stopped the soldier after trying to steal his gun. palestinian red crescent medics were prevented from helping the injured man, according to members of their team. $159.00 palestinians have been killed and occupied westbank since the start of the year. israel has ordered the depot taste of a palestinian french human rights lawyer. it comes off the government revoked movies, jerusalem, residency rights. he's been held without charged since march and has been imprisoned by israel several times in the past. amnesty international says he's deportation would constitute a war crime. while mcbride has more from occupied eastern listen,

the treatments of salah hm. ori is being seen by many people here as a test case and also by his supporters, the which are other human rights lawyers and a rights advocates who been holding a news conference here about the latest developments in this case. as a deliberate attempt, or they say by the israeli authorities to expel palestinians or from jerusalem, her hum already has been held in what's called administrative detention for 9 months. now this is a very controversial law by which a suspect can be held without charge for up to 6 months at a time, not being told what they are being held for a stand simply. this is that the authorities not wanting to release information which could lead to other actions by what they regard as a terrorists. but it has been, according to many people here misused to keep literally hundreds. and at the last count, it's well over st 700 palestinians behind bars at prisons,

throughout israel and israel regards henry as a terrorist. he has served a number of times behind bars, the most serious of which was a 7 year sentence for allegedly being involved in an assassination plot. he was released after a prisoner swap deal between hamas and the israeli government. and the problem now arises in his nationality. he is french by nationality, his mother is french, but he has never actually lived in france for any length of time. he has spent the whole of his 37 years here in jerusalem. he has jerusalem residency, but now because israel has said he has not shown allegiance to the state of israel, that can be revoked if it is revoked. he can be deported at any time. or is that a looks at this case as another test case? through which it once to cement residency to vocation for the palestinians in doris

limb, based on breach of allegiance to the state of israel is that it is only an occupying power in jerusalem as the whole world recognizes. allegiance is not expected from the civilian population. pam or his wife, who is french, has already been deported. she is now living in france with their children, where it has raised concerned with questions. i've been asked by a french president, emmanuel mack cross a from a rights group such as amnesty. it is raised outright condemnation or with amnesty themselves, calling this a shameless attempt by israel to silence any one who might be advocating for the palestinian cause said ahead heroine al jazeera us back group that help defeat. i still in serious says it has stopped all joint operations with american troops. ah,

anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere. a you read me the way sponsored my cattle aways that a cold been teasing us for a while now sitting at the west of mongolia, but he didn't make it so felt now slowly, but surely in east asia. first of all, there are warnings out of potential avalanche in the high grand hoc holiday because the snow's night falling sick and fast, but it's rapidly followed by bright a bit colder weather. these are high temperatures by they hobbins minus 30 will in baton. know that minus 18. now you'll notice it's about plus 3 or thereabouts in the eastern china. and so after about 7. so let me take you a day ahead ignoring the range for the sass, which would just be as slowly and we draw several degrees. so these temperatures now below no, and the rapidly going down hill 60 didn't. okay, but you know, this, the snow coming on to the western side of the high ground in hon. shoe south of the

a poser leader has come on the fire often independent inquiry found he may of, by a day it is out of office. a tea democratic party panel has backed at present biden's push to change their presidential primary calendar in 2024. it's a move intended to give greater power to states with more diverse populations in choosing hotties whitehouse, nominee ross and jordan is a live in washington d. c for us now. so tell us more about the main thinking behind this decision and how it could work. well, this is something that would basically up and about 50 years of current political practice when it comes to choosing a presidential candidate. typically iowa has the 1st caucus soon after new hampshire has the 1st primary. both of these states are rather small. they are predominantly rural, they're predominantly white and

o terms of voters. after joe biden lost the new hampshire primary in 2020, he started saying to any one who would listen, that he thought that the primary system should be changed that other states with more diverse populations that are bigger, that are more urban, should come earlier in the process, in order to get a better sense from american voters whom they want to see as their democratic presidential candidate. he made his wishes known to the democratic national committee. and on friday, the panel has decided that south carolina will be the 1st state to hold a primary in 2024. now this is not a process that we're does hold for ever and ever. this is something that bite and says should be revisited after the 2024 election to that. the 2028 primary season can accurately capture the changing of population among american

voters. but more immediately then, could there be any fall out from all this? well, let's put it this way. the a democratic party officials in both new hampshire and in iowa are not happy with this decision. and in fact, new hampshire has a law on its books saying that it must be the 1st state to hold a presidential primary before any of the other 49 states in this country. now this is going to probably bring up some sort of a federal states rights clash. because of though they, they can argue that if their voters art a wild to choose their presidential candidate. and if they go head with the process and or sanctioned by the national party, they could argue that their voters are being disenfranchised. so i don't think you're going to see this a change in the way that states are conduct their primaries in 2024 to go ahead
