ah, as emotions architecture is kind of a mystery, believe me starts december 25th on d w. ah, this is d w news lot from berlin. the kremlin rejects a price cap on russian oil. it comes after the you joins the u. s. and other g 7 countries to limit moscow's funds for its war in ukraine. the $60.00 per barrel cap takes effect on monday. the u. s. pentagon and veils its newest stealth bomber.

after years of secret development. the b $21.00 reader is the 1st new us bomber aircraft and more than 3 decades. oh wow. oh wow. you know, and berlin renamed some streets that have long celebrated colonial administrators in africa, replacing them with the names of african resistance fighters. ah, a michael ok, welcome to the program. the kremlin has rejected a price cap on its oil exports insisting it will be harmful to free, stable markets. the e, you agree to cap oil at $60.00 a barrel to reduce moscow's ability to fund its war in ukraine, with revenue from petroleum exports. the you joins the united states and other g 7

nations in sanctioning russian oil, which recently traded at about $65.00 a barrel. the measure will come into effect on monday and intensifies western pressure on the kremlin over its invasion of ukraine. european commission president ursula funder line said the price cap would have a wide range of implications. it will stabilize global energy markets because it allows some russian seaborne oil to be traded, brokerage transported by e operators to such countries as long as it is sold below the cap. so this price cap will benefit directly emerging and developing economies. and it will be adjustable over time, so that we can react to market developments together with our partners. we stand united and firm in our opposition to rush us, atrocious war t w's,

russia. analysts konstantin agger told us why he thinks the price cap will make little difference to moscow. i don't think it will have a huge effect, frankly speaking because there are many ways of bypassing this on this on price capital concerns essentially mostly those who ensure the shipments and those who transport russian oil for example are you may claim or russians make line that of the oil is sold at $5999.00 while off to that for the same country. for example, china or india will pay an extra rise for like i say russian wheat which is not bad to buy sanction. so i think it will have more a psychological effect. it will have some pressure on certain companies agree for some of the insurance companies and transport companies be to be more cautious, but it will not be a disaster for the crime. the united states has unveiled its latest stealth bomber

at a ceremony in california. the multi $1000000.00 aircraft is the 1st u. s. strategic bomber to be produced in 3 decades, and is being unveiled at a time of heightened tensions with russia and china. ah, after years of development, the united states has lifted the veil on its newest deadly weapon. the manufacturer says its stealth bomber is designed to fly without a crew carry nuclear, as well as conventional weapons evade the most sophisticated radar systems and hit any target anywhere in the world. the be $21.00 rater was unveiled during a carefully choreographed ceremony in california. that included dramatic music, a light show, and a crowd of top us officials. the b 21 writer is the 1st strategic bomber in more

than 3 dot gauge. it is a customer to america's enduring advantages, in ingenuity and innovation. it's also meant as a deterrent at a time of heightened tensions with russia and china. the pentagon says beijing has doubled its number of nuclear warheads and it's on track to have 1500 nuclear weapons by 2035, many more than originally anticipated and produced much faster. they will operate in tomorrow's high and threat environment, and it will enable america to outmaneuver, to outpace and to out match our adversaries. it will deter aggression. the b $21.00 is expected to cost nearly $700000000.00 us dollars per plane. air force official sate will form the backbone of its future bomber force, and the 1st one is expected to be in the skies as early as next year. ah, let's welcome joel hickman in washington dc. he's

a fellow with the trans atlantic defense and security program at the center for european policy analysis. joel hickman, what do you make of the timing of the new bombers and veiling reveal? thank you for having me. and i think we've got to recognize that the 21 has been in development since 2015. and we know that both china and russia have their own stealth bomber equivalence and continuing to work on these. but i think most classified weapon programs are usually shrouded in secrecy. and we know that the b 20 warn veda is not going to add them to take his 1st flight to well into next year . so i think we can read read something into the timing of this, of this invading. i think it's since a very strong determines message. given the could you please call context? you know, with putin save a buttoning in ukraine and as mentioned at the top of the program,

china's expansion of its nuclear forces. and i think this is a strong, powerful message by the united states saying that both to both of those countries that it continues to have military integrity, technical supremacy in some of these really high ends. miniature capabilities, we heard military top brass, they stream 21 greater will deter aggression, but might some see it as a sign itself of aggression. why i think weapon systems such, such as these do demonstrate the tech install, you know, again as, as we set up the crap program, the b 21 is capable of evading the most sophisticated defenses. it can carry about conventional and nuclear pilots as level reaches future proofs in terms of being able to corporate updates and upgrades very easily. but i think the message to

adversary's is the u. s. has these capabilities that you can't necessarily defend against. so to be careful how you perceive, i mean, that is the whole, the whole point of deterrence is to have a set of weapons and capabilities which deter aggression. so in that sense, i think it serves its function, but of course, the reality is that there's a whole host of emerging destructive technologies out there which the u. s. navy, so china and russia or developing simultaneously. yes, to be 21 can kind of a defensive to self, but the chinese motions have hypersonic missiles, which kind of a, the most advanced air defenses to speed. there's also other weapons, program, screen space and a port energy weapons, high power lasers, cyber quantum computers, autonomous drones. these all parks modern warfare,

which hopefully hopefully strengthen determines between the great military powers. because with these new capabilities, we are moving from a conventional military environment to one that is multi domain unable to target critical, national infrastructure costs are much broader spectrum. ok, we'll have to end it there. that's a jewel hickman from the center for european policy analysis. many thanks. thank you very much. used to look at some of the other stories making news around the world. chinese authorities have begun closing cove at 19 testing facilities in beijing, a further sign that the country may be softening its tough lockdown policies. this follows unprecedented protests across the country, which saw people demanding the relaxation of coven rules. the demonstrations have sparked a crackdown by authorities trying to stifle any unrest. thousands of demonstrators have morning through the south korean capital sol, in support of

or frederick's and rudolph munger bell were executed by german forces. a descendant of rudolph rang a bell also took part. doesn't mention the colonial easy people who colonized were celebrated as heroes. here and germany, that's why the name for streets after them is class and that in and nor middle have i like. now there is a completely different understanding. we now know what these people actually did in the colonies. how many people they killed franchise without the feeling mentioned? do you do that? how might have added on, but the work of the activists is not over yet. as suggested by the and she also, the district government is expected to place memorial plex and information stance in the area. and the hope is that the last remaining streets, named after a german colonizer cancelled be renamed after a member of the african resistance. and a war fought in eastern africa against german colonialism. ah,
