salus will safari, we choose to look so common ground with we are experiencing the strongest economic recovery in the world. the president biden praises the u. s. economy while the all price souls, despite in order to release millions of barrels from strategic reserves, it's adding to public anger of a spiraling inflation. the inflation always a high right now. so i don't believe the economies are going fashion as i should go . as low inflation is, is rising. i mean might not be seeing as much progress as fast as we would like. based on the promises that he made, facebook delays the introduction of end to end encrypted messages under pressure from governments, including the u. k. put it's angering privacy campaign is also in the program here on our tea pushing puberty block goes on children. a health

care whistleblower in the u. k. claims a state funded clinic as treating girls who don't like pink ribbons. old goals to be well gender. confused in the program, we speak to a former transgender who sees the practice as abuse. this is a real serious problem because it's actually child abuse when tavistock is doing really should be shut down or it should be against the law. and that allowed to happen to young children, especially ah, wednesday morning and your mid week headlines live one on the international i rural re sushi. in moscow. the old price has surged now by molding 3 percent over the past 24 hours. it's raising inflationary phase across much of the world. that price is being closely watched in america, where inflation is already at

a 3 decade high piling the pressure on households. although the u. s. president joe biden is adamant the countries finances are actually thriving. we're experiencing the stronger 2nd army recovery in the world, even after county, for inflation. our economy is bigger. and our found is that more money in their pockets than they did before. the pandemic. the rising all across comes despite joe, by this decision to release millions of barrels of oil from u. s. strategic reserves in the coming months. ortiz caleb muffin now looks at the weather out the, the move could save biden's falling writings jo biden's claim is that the u. s. economy is recovering better than literally anywhere else on the planet. now this comes after the commander in chief announced he was going to open up the country, strategic petroleum reserve and put $50000000.00 extra barrels of oil onto the market in coming months. many of dismissed this move is simply

a publicity stunt not in the least because it only covers no more than a few days supply. biden releasing 3 days worth of oil, that tax pays already paid for. joe biden would rather dip into a strategic oil reserves and puts americans to work in the energy industry bite and gave well biggest bargaining chip. when he shut down domestic oil production was incentive. would opec have to negotiate when they know we have no or else to go? the price gouging is just beginning. biden is hoping to tackle inflation and restoring gas prices at a time where he and his policies are quite unpopular. 70 percent of americans see the economic situation as poor biden's approval ratings are dropping. we decided to ask people on the street what they think the inflation rates are higher and i saw them there, but the economy is ongoing. feshona's actually going slow. people are buying things, the stock market seems good, but on the other hand, inflation is, is,

is rising. we might not be seeing as much progress as fast as we would like, based on the promises that he made. he has blamed the rise in oil prices on global supply, not keeping up with demand. at this point, the white house is blaming other countries and energy companies for holding up deliveries. every day the united states consumes roughly 18 to 19000000 barrels of oil. biden's only releasing $2.00 to $3.00 days supply over the course of the next few months. the impact isn't likely to be very much. the white house is trying to put pressure on opec, and it has repeatedly called on opec plus countries like russia and saudi arabia to pump more oil and drive the price down. remember, opec represents 77 percent of the world's crude oil reserves. so tapping strategic reserves may continue to have less of an impact than many would like. caleb martin, r t new york. we spoke with american economist,

our jeffrey tucker and former austrian foreign minister can, can i so are they say biden's decision is best a temporary fix for a worsening program. this looks to me like a foreshadowing of something really terrible. you have at least an acknowledgment on the part of the by administration that the inflation is becoming a problem, especially in oil prices. but he's focusing on this because gas prices are going way up and people are really upset as driving down his poll numbers. so he wants to be seen as doing something. so to release the reserve is purely a cosmetic attempt to, to give but please people. but it's not going to make any difference and prices over long term, if anything is going to have the opposite effect of causing people to realize that the really, that's not an illusion that we got major problems. and we couldn't see as result in an increase of demand towards hoarding than panic buying. so i think the,

my prediction is that this is going to drive the problems it to become even worse than they were already. yes, administration was already in a walk my in summer being torn apart between on the one hand, getting out of i stopping a little kind of wiped ro checks within the united states. and on the other hand, assuring the u. s. customer cheaper oil and tab by off. think bob, think and of a plus. so to bring in people, i mean, this is a tied to world war that doesn't function. i don't think that this kind of move, which is a very short time thing. and it's, we have seen their reaction by the markets at the prices didn't go down the actually, it was also a by to moving up. and so it's, it's domestic politics for, for, for a few days. but nothing more than that. i filled it out for you. that's how it here we're not t. europe's energy crisis is in the spotlight as the serbian president speaks to

the russian media, he says reliable and relatively cheap gas supplies from russia are a crucial for his country's economic growth. chance coming up just a bit later in this with an hour with the blowing a psychiatrist, a slam, the only children's gender service in the u. k. for encouraging youngsters to transition if they don't fit into richard gender stereotypes. the recruitment of staff with very low levels of clinical knowledge and skill, many of those staff and had little oh no previous exposure to complex serious disorders in childhood. many young people who are unwilling or unable to conform to gender stereotypes. for example, go wishing to be more masculine. are nat mis understood as being transgender? here? medical intervention supports not fluidity, but have rigid, by the way,

construction of gender that has a characteristic quality if you don't like, you know, pink ribbons and dollies, you not really a go. well, i talked to david bell is also describe the type of stock trust as a gateway. for puberty blockers, he claims that nearly old teenagers seen by the service have gone on to take cross sex hormones. earlier we spoke with former transgender author bolt hire, who thinks that clinic is guilty of child abuse, the judge and that tavistock case actually really excoriated the clinic as not having any evidence whatsoever that they presented to court that showed they should be giving these young children puberty blackers, they said they failed to demonstrate the court that their procedures were effective . that should have actually closed the clinic and they should have been shut down and that'll loud to treat children. that's really what should be happening. so this

is a real serious problem because it's actually child abuse. probably very few of those children even qualify accurately qualified to receive puberty blacking drugs, keep in mind the puberty blackers were never ever designed for kids who are struggling with their identity. their puberty blackers are designed for kids whose puberty was advancing too fast, and they would slow it down with these drugs. so they're mis using the drugs. they were never intended to be used to harm children in this way, and they are harmful to them. when ever stark is using them in this way and even more harmful when almost every one that they see, they're going to be administering the hormone therapy is to last year, the trust to his mind and controversy. after for my patient care, a bell took it all to the high court. a care began taking puberty blockers at age

16 with the aim of turning into a man at the now 24 year old regrets that says she wasn't given a sufficient warning of the lasting effects the drugs would have on her body logic colonist. david damien wilson, things that british health services, unable to make rational decisions on transgender issues, due to intense social pressure. i think the people who with their own tremendous pressure, the trends lobbies, hugely powerful, being called transfer because, you know, seen by many is an unbearable social slow people to troll with j. k. rowling. look at kathleen stock, the the university of sussex professor who is just being held out of her job. and this is just an incredible social disease that's, that's really going through the particular academia and the medical world at the moment in america that, that's not unusual to have children under the age of 10. going through this through agenda counseling. what a kid turns up at the, at the,

the clinic and says he wants to be a dog. what do i do? fading biscuits and let him run around the yard on a horse. that's just crazy. it seems to be that the adults of less the room and any crazy idea is, is on the table. so i just think that we baby, we may just need to go off about the conversation, accept our responsibility, and don't let our kids down by bowing to any when that's the current medical question. facebook is delaying the introduction of encrypted messages on his platform. the technology is meant to ensure that only send those on recipients can view their messages, but it's being resisted by government, including the u. k, citing safety concerns. all these shot it was dashed, delves into the stand off between governments and big tech. it's been 5 years since what that rolled out and rendon encryption. it was hailed for allowing people all over the world to communicate securely and freely. but in tandem with some tough

question, officials, what's up instagram on facebook? no matter it's tracking is feet. we're taking our time to get this ride and we don't plan to finish the global rollout of end to end encryption by default, across all our messaging services until sometime in 2023. we believe people shouldn't have to choose between privacy and safety, which is why we're engaging with privacy and safety experts, civil society, and governments to make sure we get this right. technical as encryption can be, it's really about the very core of how we live our lives today. safe in the knowledge of what you tell your friend stays with your friend or does it well, preaching not confidence is potentially painful. according to the government, it's a price we're paying for safety online. end to end encryption brings for the risks . indeed, in my view jeopardize, it's a good work that has gone before. message is already encrypted, a standard but end to end encryption, where neither the platform operator nor law enforcement can see the content

jeopardizes much of that work in the new technological era. more conversations than not are on line, and if nothing is protected, then no conversation is private. so either we communicate face to face, or we surrender to the expectation as a 3rd person in your conversation. ease of staying in touch must not come at the expense of people's data protection and privacy rights. even what is that public that goes against its own a matter saying that one shouldn't sacrifice privacy if the government demands it, whatever the reasoning governments demanding companies build a special key to access private messages. but once the key to your messages is created, can you guarantee it won't be copied? are you confident that a hacker or a foreign spy won't steal it? or that your government won't lose it? once that key opens a back door, how do you know a criminal one sneak inside? and even if a government keeps the keys safe, should we trust them not to miss handle? the messages we send, considering our phones are so often glue to our hands. it's

a 4 inch key all into our entire lives. so understandably, people aren't exactly ecstatic about their messages being read by others. privacy is a big, big thing in this country. in this world, everyone's entitle to their own privacy. and i think private messages are part of that private and it's in private support themselves and think they've smearing prime if they've got suspicions, i guess so, but i don't think they should be able to read every text message. so facebook may have changed its name, but deep public worries over its platforms. lack of privacy aren't going anywhere we heard from john, listen, come with it. a try to make more. he think the government's using safety face as a pretext to snoop on people's communications. the question comes up is facebook figuring out a work around for the government to be able to spy on your end and messages? or what is this hold up. the company says that they just want to roll it out

perfectly and make sure everything's in line, but they've had about 3 years down to work on this. and they're not delaying it even further. the excuse that they need to intrude on your privacy in order to protect human life and your safety just as transparent and weak as current privacy rules are, it doesn't seem like they're being completely honest. it's just reach them using this excuse for safety scare everyone. they have to read your private messages, they need access to the or else terrorists are going to take over america. that's essentially their argument or whatever western countries, you know, we have trillion that show you the dollars in the pentagon and in our surveillance thing. and they're making the argument that if they can't snoop in and read your private messages, if you have encrypted data, then the terrorists are going to come in and kill everyone. it doesn't make a lot of sense and it just seems like they want more control and more power and more knowledge and information about their own citizens. with eyes is still

uncovered. other serious diseases have been neglected for the better part of 2 years. for the 1st time and more than a decade, global deaths from tuberculosis have increased ortiz until krakowski spoke to those who survive the disease. you can watch the program on, on youtube channel for our quick preview of all the dr. called me close and whispered that had tuberculosis not to tell anyone else in the college, i know what kind of people we have here and if they wouldn't understand why. so you've been told that, you know, i've been told that my lungs decomposing, you taking 9 pills a day, you know, 15 deals at a time to back, you know, deep out abnormal people from prison, then maybe alpha carton homeless folks, but not about ordinary people like many people are abandoned not only by their friends, but by their families to even that of thousands more than anybody. yet another unpleasant thing about coven is that to be close to the death rates have skyrocketed again. it should work. i'm glad we're still here to look for more than

2 years now. mankind has been quite some cove it from this horrifying disease. it appears we forgot that about many others including tuberculosis on $1500000.00 people die for is ridiculous every year. these numbers arising, hospitals are overwhelmed and the whole health care system is locked down because you still assume you may see tuberculosis casually coming into elias or does it already did a credit both of our full year. this is our t international could to have you with us so far for this wednesday program, still to come here that the russian defense minister is warning that u. s. strategic bombers have radically increased, have flights up and down rushes, borders that story and more with back in just a mom. ah ah

ah . for driven by a dreamer shaped bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask

oh, right now 2020 posterior in moscow. or the u. s. has imposed a new round of sanctions on an old stream to gas pipeline between russia and germany. at the measures talk at a russian linked farm and 2 vessels. and while europe is withholding final approval for the project, not everyone is bowing to sanctions prussia. as the serbian president explained to the russian media. gus was, i'm proud of the fight and i want people in russia to know this. so be a firmly resisted treasurers. we never cause any problems for south street or turtle dri, as well, bull constraint as we're calling today. we've built 400 kilometer little bit fiber line across our country together. we'll gas probably use today. we already have gas going through the pipeline. we're the only country in europe that has never imposed any sanctions of any measures,

any decisions against russia's interest lager. we pursued the european path, but we never do anything with damage or nations with the russian federation. we didn't agreements about the larger amount of gas. we are the fastest growing economy in europe. believe me, we're growing faster than all the other countries in europe. so we need gas in the price, the volume, and 3rd, we need flexibility. russian counterparts know about this of shaw and consumption peaks during the winter, and we want to be able to put more gas without having to pay a much higher price in global affairs. you don't just choose an easier way. you don't just please those who are stronger than you, serbia has its own political and economic and tragedy without russia, they've been though quite longer. it been a guess. i do pay $800.00 to $900.00 euro for gasoline. they will be konami. so me can't handle it. my threat, embarrass, hoard. the russian defense minister has warned of a massive increase in us strategic bomber activity around russia's borders, including military drills aimed at repelling a nuclear strike. a sort of gas choy guru made the announcement at talked with his chinese counterpart. i corresponded or out he's donald quarter picks up the story.

it looks like both russia and china are ready for deeper cooperation when it comes to mutual defense. and that's because the united states, as posturing itself as a military full of both power. i mean, it's no secret that china isn't happy about american naval operations in the south china sea, or washington's claim that taiwan is separate from the mainland. as for russia, it looks like the u. s. is taking a more nuclear approach. let's take a listen to what the russian ministry of defense had to say. whether this is, were due this month during the us global thunder strategic forces exercises 10 us for strategic form as practice options of nuclear weapons use against russia almost simultaneously from western and eastern directions. based on what was spoken about at this meeting. it looks like the u. s. military aggression is actually bringing us is actually bringing russia and china closer together. the chinese defense minister at the meeting said that the u. s. is using the same aggressive military

action against his country as it is against his russian counterpart. we did hear from the russian defense minister again, who outlined what some of those actions entailed admissions issue should because a significant increase in the activity of us strategic bombing ation. in the past month, around 30 flights to the borders of the russian federation have been made, which is 2 and a half times more than in the same period last year. it's likely a joining of these 2 eastern hours wasn't exactly what washington expected to result from its increased nuclear posturing. either one of them is a serious force to be reckoned with for washington, but both of them together that could be a major obstacle for us. foreign policy, we spoke with a former pentagon analyst on michael minute, who thinks the aggressive us actions in the pacific approving counter productive. when you consider that since the disastrous pull out of afghanistan, the united states is once again been trying to agitate both on the

on the western front, with, with nato and in the black sea area. and now in the indo pacific, somehow to try and rectify its abysmal failure in after 20 years in afghanistan. and i'm afraid that though the united states is beginning to overreact and, and you cannot blame russia and china now to decide to band together and deal with this constant irritant. i think that it is, it is a surprise, somewhat to washington, that the 2 have united and all that they're joined really is looking back on the good old days of the cold war when the soviet union and, and, and china. so even though they were aligned with one another somewhat, there was an ability to play one off against the other. that's not going to happen today. or didn't brief,

some other headline small around the world for you here on the program rather quickly. now a protests have swept hook. he off the national currency, crashed on tuesday, and people hit the streets calling on the ruling party. i'm president out of the one to resign. i took ease lira nosedive, 15 percent on tuesday, one of the worst days. ever for that kind of forest fires are devastating parts of eastern argentina and the flames of ravaged a major national park home to many endangered species. the cordoba province has been the worst effected with more than 40000. hector has destroyed so far. so u. s. president joe biden has invited a $110.00 countries to join a democracy summit next month to share common values on fight authoritarianism. however, washington has plenty of its own issues to contend with if you have a listen to this. me the surprising new comer and the list of backsliding

democracy i story turning point came in 202021. when for president trump question the legitimacy of the 2020 election results in the united states seems like a still going strong, but it was definitely more prom no performing. united states even improved performance indicators of impartial administration. in 2020, over the declines and civil liberties and checks on government indicate there are serious problems with the fundamentals hope to multiply the wide in america is back from make america great again. this time to acknowledge you do have a problem. no, i 25 minutes past the hour here on the russian capital. this is our t international thanks for sharing some of your wednesday with us here at moscow. we're going to be back in about half an hour's time. with more of your headlines
