the other you're with the r t for moscow. it's just the head of mid day this wednesday, december, the 22nd and this hour. we've got an exclusive life event for you. russian foreign minister said caleb, rove will be talking in debt with all t correspondence from across our family of multi language news channels. there's a lot that's going to be covered too. among the tensions with ukraine, nato expansion. they're all on the table. and also the story that we broke for you within the past hour. no doubt, all german language channel r t d correspondence. i will note i want to ask a few questions now that it's been dropped by european satellite provider. after pressure from berlin, the topics that are out for discussion, although they might seem easy enough with simple questions, they are multifaceted, not least, of all problems surrounding bilateral relations with ukraine and those trying to weigh in from beyond in europe and in nato. that in itself has become

a bone of contention. increasingly in recent months with russia not happy about nato's expansion in recent years, towards the east and closer to russia's borders. each accusing the other of building unnecessary levels of arguments and troops. and it does look like at the moment, that's the way to talk themselves out of this problem is not going to happen any time soon. there's also us relations as well, which let's be, let's face it on the face of it over the past few years. they've been bad or very bad and it doesn't seem to make a difference if there's a change in the whitehouse sanctions are a big issue for russia, of course, which is the weapon of choice for washington. whenever a problem flares up, instead of talking about it, i'm plenty other issues to come up to the european gospel crisis, which is dominating our headlines here at our tea today. prices have hit record levels once again as if they weren't high enough of course. but with those prices comes the blame on russia being blamed for not supply enough that's happened before

. you're not really seeming to talk much about not having many supplies in the background in its own tanks. so a number of issues to come up in the talks with russian foreign minister. so gay lover of all correspondence lining up, waiting to speak it from a multi language channels as i say english, spanish, french, german, and arabic. and there are issues that are going to reflect around the globe as well, of course, throughout with the latin american view as they want to know much more about the geopolitical interference and independence that, that countries wants in order to break away from what they might see some of the economic shackles from the neighbor in the north end of the united states. now, when that happens, we will come to it in due course. now one of the issues to be covered in this interview is the current tension in ukraine. as i've said that that is, fled up in great detail in the past few weeks and months with increasingly

tough woods being shared between moscow, also. berlin and washington. at the moment, it's pretty much an intense standoff, but the fear is that it could escalate with accusations being thrown at russia. that it's potentially planning an invasion of its neighbor by building up troops near to the border. russia insists that it's entitled to cook trips for every once on its own territory. washington, the nato don't seem to a great, that's just one of the main issues is going to come up in those questions. i mentioned gas prices as well. that's a big problems for you or right now for which europe stay. blaine, their record highs and wild countries grapple with the energy crunch. there's still time for that, blame game. his all teeth. peter oliver. gus prom supplies gas according to consumers, requests and full compliance with a current contractual obligations record breaking day when it comes to the price of gas in europe. that has topped $2000.00 per 1000 cubic meters of

gas for the 1st time ever. it's come about after gas from the russian energy giant didn't book any gas transit through poland on the mall, europe pipeline. and it's both very basic sense that meant no extra gas would be arriving in germany. now the gas problem continues to live up to the contracts. it has with european nations like germany and others. but what it's not doing is sending any extra onto the market. what that means. this doesn't increase demand and well not the supply as i said. so that means the prices have gone right open. fact they've gone through the roof this month alone. prices of risen by 40 percent since the summer they've gone up 300 percent. not start to take it toll on energy companies and number of them deciding that this is just too rich for their blood. and they've had to, well, they fold it, they've had to file for bankruptcy. the latest to do that is neck and strong. here

in germany, they supplied power to some 13000 homes across the country, they'll not be doing not anymore. they decided they just can't be part of this with the energy price. so high. now i said the guys problem continues to live up to the contracts which it signed. however, that hasn't stopped european leaders from suggesting that russia is using energy is using gas supply in an attempt to try and exert political influence over some countries in europe. rosure viewed energy as a tool for political influence, the for instance, in moldova. and while it is strictly speaking, fulfilling its commitments on gas supplies, many fits curt refusal to increase export volume to europe or to refill gas from storage facilities as a means to exert pressure on the and specifically to secure the regulatory licensing of no string to the kremlin spokesman to meet the pest golf and said this isn't an issue for. busy the russian government that this is an issue between

europe and gas problem and the questions on this whole subject well shouldn't be directed towards the kremlin. they need to go to gas pro me h q to respect to says, what is the reason for the decrease in gas delivery 5 the mile. your pipeline with gas now going in the reverse direction is that link between the suspension of supplies, the germany, and the north stream to pipeline. so i know there is no link, it's a purely commercial issue, and it's up to gas prompt to explain the reasons. well, when you look at the prices, it's clear to see why this is such a big issue with $4.00 to $4.00 and a half times increases across europe when it comes to gas prices. as i said, huge demand for russian gas in europe at the moment. it had been hoped that the, the nord stream to gas pipeline would be able to, to slake some of that 1st for gas. the plan was that that would be able to provide as much as 55000000000 cubic meters of gas every single year, directly into germany, and then on towards the rest of europe. however,

it found itself snarled up in a bureaucratic process when it comes to certification. here in germany right now, we're hearing it may well not be approved until the 2nd half of 2022. this is after we had thought it would be up and running by well, now that was after the united states lifted sanctions against the north stream to complete earlier in 2021 that had previously called the let cause delays on that project. or you're a correspondent, peter oliver, there at a subject that sir, no doubt is going to be raised when our correspondence gets challenged. the russian foreign minister in person live here on arty international, all are correspondence from all are multi language news. channels are going to put a few questions to mr. lover of and as kiss, but most people in europe, that gas bills are going to be something they're gonna want to know a lot more about for the future when they're gonna come down, who's gonna help? how they're going to help, but really oppose who's to blame if they're going to see in their papers that

rushes to blame for. this will be able to challenge the russian foreign minister directly to see what the view is from moscow. again, it's just could be one of the subjects that we talk about in our interview with the russian foreign minister alive in the next few minutes here on r t i while europe gasped, fought prices max out. spain's transition to green energy is looking decidedly shaking wine produces in the south of furious over the construction of a wind turbine park. concerned that it might cast a shadow on their industry. the who's ah, obviously there can be no vineyards where these turbines are built. so something years will disappear, but the biggest problem is damaged from landscape,

which is an essential part of our heritage and very important for wine tourism. for my we ask that this turbine part and not be implemented ah, in all we are. is there any way to stop this park and stop and let another location be found? we're not against renewable. ok, you will see from moscow as promised, we're getting to talk at length to the russian. foreign minister said a lover of we've got all our correspondence from all our channels. we got a lot talk to him about as well. we prepare quite a bit to get answers from him, from the russian foreign ministry to find out exactly what its position is on a number of the big hot button issues affecting not only russia and why to europe, but also the world as well. the big topics, of course, kiev, and ukraine and relations there. let's go there live you minister in us,

family. all her a russian foreign minister, rush, rush for me to say gay, louder. okay. you are a t i we, we have to be 5. i like channels like, you know, swap r t channels like here and let's start with our t international. daniel hawkins, can you hear us on your question for you all directly through? hello, mr. la rosina, but i think him, mister herrera. hello. hello. we're glad that we're here with us to day one, pharmacy hocksey ward. no. i could hear when i shut my sheep, monsieur goes to finish you on what broth. ah sharper. those are warden irish and the u. s. continued to deliberately ignore or russia's proposals on collect mechanisms are collected with security, as well as request not to cross red lines defined by moscow in particular, with regards to nato's eastward expansion. barbosa. this regard to have 2 questions

up up with one. with the msr. you want it, that is, why are they doing this? and will russia tolerated? and will the collective west to be able to or acceptable russia, the line proposals on peaceful coexistence thinkers who just moved my little mood. thank you very much. this is and deal with his cousins and very relevant question with her. i wouldn't say that our of our group initiatives are ignored prison and yesterday talked about it at the extended collegiate meeting of when the ministry of defense would you possibly. and he mentioned that during his last 2 years has been video call with again biden. they discuss this topic until president biden. he has of wax pressed his desire to consider with the concerns expressed by the russian federation. and we have presented our vision as to how the agreements sir, might be drafted, the voice of the go. but we'll pull,

some goes up was we have presented a rough agreement on security between russia and the u. s. and the 2nd draft that we have published, that's the agreement on resolving security issues as part of their russia, nato mac relation to august. but you still, despite the fact that mr. stuart and barrett, you secretary general of nato zebulon here keeps making those inadequate statements. and what, by the way, he his mandate is expiring soon at the end of the year and then he will move. sabrina will be appointed to the central bank of norway with as far as i know, but in the central bank, you need to know properly perform the function centered. here to the principals are in accordance with which this institution functions are so swollen the basis for our agree man. so are also principals that were negotiated and find on the highest level as political obligations. and the cornerstone of such obligations is

indivisible, security principle. the heads off the states and governments of lunch have clearly just stated that it will not close the shuttle. no participant of they always see should insure their security by damaging the security of others. so when yen stolen burke made to this highbrow and arrogant statement that no one else can breach the principle of the washington treaty. in accordance with which doors are open for any candidate wish things to exceed to the nato. when you learn teachers, we can, we can say that we are not party to this organization. we have not signed this treaty, but we have signed a broader span regional euro atlantic document, which includes the principles of indivisible security and ease. yann's salt and

berg believes that nato members can ignore this principle that is enshrined in the documents adopted at the highest level. then perhaps it is indeed time for him to get a different jobs because he does not perform his functions. very well. young lady of c u. s. for a real practical reaction, not a rhetoric one. i would say that we are seeing a business like response from the us. we've had a series of conversations on the bay on the level of our foreign policy advisors to the president of the u. s. in the president of russia. and after a recent conversation, we have decided on the parameters of future work at the start of the next year. starting the 1st round of counseling discussions would be consultation said, between negotiators from the us and russia. next,

we have decided on the negotiators already, and they are acceptable to both parties. and then in the foreseeable future, in january, we want to make sure, could you use the negotiations platform to discuss the 2nd document? the draft proposal on the agreement between russia and the nato countries and thought she also with the president has recently and the locker room. and we talked with president micron schultz and with the german chancellor. mr. shorts and they were also interested in our progress and to present, put in sad that we are going to discuss huge a guarantees within the o f c as well. it is so. so we have free tracks. we are working on the juice through its useful end to us. we believe that we need to make use of all these free tracks. and we had the agreement in place between moscow and washington. and i believe that such an approach would not hinder the interests of the other country

in our region. but we're also looking at who is nuclear. undoubtedly, a lot of people have got her questions regarding what if which do the us to motion hasn't stated that a number of concerns that's included in our documents can be discussed. however, a number of them are absolutely unacceptable and they have their own concerns. and we are ready to consider that concerns, but we have not been yet presented with them. so mister, need you. so we have that. it's the organizational plan at hand. but as to the contents of how many cushions we have something to work on. but as i represent mention, it cannot last forever because we can see heightened attentions and heightened treads around us on a permanent basis. and nato military infrastructure is moving closer and closer to our borders. on monday, we know they have light. it was regularly starting from, but did you see any oral statements and ending where therapy,

political obligations that were in training, the russia, nato political act. so this time around, as interesting said, we want to have legally binding guarantees. so when you migrate those over with the understanding that the west leaves, they would want linden thought to, they can breach those legally biting guarantees as well. withdraw from the agreement that was perhaps as unit. remember the case with the ab amberley, i now with the open skies treating student. but at the same time, because legally by guarantees are harder to breach the bulk we've got going a little. so she went to smooth over them. the tricks you, it's much harder to do that you know, to ignore oral statements for example. so we are open to have this conversation with you lou. we want to do everything in our power to be understood properly with

him. and we hope that considering a little there measures we're taking to ensure our defense we will be taken seriously mitigated. moving forward now to the german office remains is kenneth, here with us. we are front door hearing measures in the summer. a very good use from you, what's the number that i was watching because the normal functioning off your german language surveys. life is being hindered townley roscoe logical regarded at rose. please your comment and your questions. good afternoon, mr. laboratory miss. good afternoon. my items are however, as you know, r t has finally launched it broadcast in german. but less than a week after our transmission was canceled on utah slut satellite, under the pressure from the german watchdog. and we are threatened as what will come by closure and the youtube has deleted our lives in broadcast channels. my

content is the russian ministry. familiar with the situation and are you planning a specific actions to support the channel and our journalists muddies a photo in europe. yes, we are familiar with a situation where he is a, however, has commented on that several times. we are closely following rebel do not show in the least the work of our journalists abroad this year issue. so for the screen looks especially considering discrimination against them that we see on the regular basis or a t by the weight. it has not been accredited just like sputnik at with them for hello the lisa and just recently president put in when he talked to present, micron has highlighted this fact and expressed his whole with that which our french colleagues that would, that would do everything in their power so that russian media like r t would work in france as comfortably as french media works and russia. and this

is the same principle that we wanted to be applied to our tea in germany or to any russian media channel, excuse me. that is facing discrimination. abroad as for germany, but i believe this is a flagrant violation because from the outset, the german authorities. and i would like to reiterate once again that the german authorities, because there have been attempts to once by the german authorities to so shift away from of this topic the german authorities has done, you know, have done everything in that power to create a negative image for you, she was in the german society, but with like you had started with attempts to bang led to ban banking services to your channel. then they refused to register your channel, then that was a bad it looks and work. and now our colleagues and serbia have registered your tv channel in german, in accordance with the european convention. going on broadcasting to germany is

a member to that convention. so they need to adhere to it. so it suits in, but perhaps now they will be talking about social networks, entities you to bend, that's their own initiative and they have their own criteria and germany has nothing to do with it but observe and actually has something to do with it because all obligation will that will require that's free access to information syllabus have been signed by germany will go, so does not youtube, but to germany as a state and to the state. that's where we can see such hermes lager into its situation. need to add in order to stop it. log you go to the doctor and we have said multiple times that such discriminations against russian media. how's your firm go been observed for many years and we have been tempted to respond law. similarly lemon. you'll notice, but i blood bell of show them,

but until until recent times, because you literally said we were convinced that we do not want to follow the same path and try to put pressure on media and you know, to follow you to with our wives and partners, but you know the same thing with russian security. we cannot tolerate it any longer. we put it in. so thought, see boots and we believe have this unacceptable situation of will go on. we will have to respond to it. i started in this basket, maria, terrorist, you know, the spanish service, the leveraging might have been nice again in good afternoon for us on our lisa la road, my adams. however, i have a question regarding whether our region water legend america saw a number of it wouldn't events last year. julia at the recent presidential elections in chile, the representative of the left is to move men to gabriel. burridge. all was the

winner and the left movement representatives also won in honduras and remain at power in israel and nicaragua at the same time, the u. s. believe that that's there, that the region is their area of interest. do you believe that to the change of political course in the number of those countries assigned that latin america is again in greater independence when it comes to their political life, or as the u. s. believe that will remain their region as soft underbelly of the united states and they both continue to be guided by urban group by the rules based international order. and the re sent summit for democracy in spasm, possibly in such as latin america, over the course of the last 50 or 60 years has the ability to school and so on to go on major political jess off. but over there have been tendencies to move to the left or to the right. now we observe and you wave off rational forces, nationally oriented roles is coming to our i believe that is the reflection of

the failure off the neo liberal project. the so called project, not sure what he was good never in our relations where the legend america, the russian federation was through. so you has some is still the wilcock oil play. it's b o. it's course with regards to what the government isn't paula. we want to have friendly relations, mutually beneficial relations with countries and peoples, and not with these of that government, depending on that they're below the references. thank yes. unlike the united states, we do not see the let america europe as playing field for job political games. the current administration of united way with you was the blue shield on what hes already bizarre forces to join the baltimore still. but talked about the statements made by john bolton, that the monroe doctrine is alive. they have not mentioned it yet, but still i believe

a beautiful day of the sea does not let the mentality is there completely, but it's good. especially when it comes to the specific political measure or send it taken by the united states. so extremely busy, especially in your style mean we work with oh, countries with no exceptions, with sub regional organizations and latin america is going to go to your school and the caribbean with boston. new gotten me up in the just last year, and i've been in touch with my colleagues from mexico, venezuela, bolivia, brazil, guatemala. you've got a rug nicaraguans honduras, who would believe cuba believes in the polio. and in new york, the since asked the un general assembly session, i tell you to listen to the mat hills where the representative of the central american integration systems. and also with my colleague from argentina on the margin of the g 20 summit shortly. and we have always highlighted, that's what we wanted to have. deep liter sized corporation when it comes to

electro tires and as for multilaterals, etc, structures managed to organizations. i believe that evolution, we should little defined like the majority of like the american country as well. that values, answer the standards and norms and goals and purposes of the un charter. roslyn got to by the way, last year, a silver bullet. honda initiative, albany wheeler, the group of france in defense of lou anne charter was established. i'm able to gain traction with almost 220 countries are joining it and i am convinced that latin american countries will proceed. union will join me as well. this mechanism of which you look up with you soon, which that food is racial, so provides responses to the u. s. and its allies, a down to bypass the international law. and it has the windex, william goodman, that says use schema is liberty, jordan, lima. so lima, mueller,

but he is mobile in the pro, but i will really base told her that they device and the assessments and points if you hi, this is you was term coined by them and devices to be a rock curly or this is not to where the truth lies says, with the same time i can see that the united states and the administration, probably not, it states has started to take him off pragmatic approach to the developments. and in particular, i believe the united states, sir, you mean used to, hasn't started to, to take a different point of view of so on venezuela, the understand they will have to maintain dollar go away with president my do row i after the election. we found its man, his mandate less. i miss trish will believe in the below woodland lou jamaica where the true democracy was restored and shafter quiet description of the unscrupulous

actions taken by the previous administration. and there are more examples of that. and i hope that to in such countries as certainly cur i girl, i will be taken seriously by washington as well. you to young and we stand full source, do they countries ask me to go beyond the red showing on screen screen, kieschnick disclosure, still no building the latin american and caribbean identity as an important po over the polish centric world order that is being formed right now and in this context, we highly value relations that way, that original and sub regional bodies and associations and this region, especially with the c lock. so the member states with which we have a mechanism over political consultation and the issue of hoops due to the pandemic . there was a high test to, to look at you have now mexico presides there and it wants to resume meetings and

we will hold we that there are another areas of corporation which would you do well, including hi, tag you to go and change your school because there's through agriculture course, most of the outer space, nuclear energy move you to and we have recently started corporate in the medical sphere in health care and the number of latin american countries like mexico, brazil, nicaragua, argentina, which, you know, you have already received technologies to produce russian vaccines and they have been monitoring it. they have been publishing production facilities. so, and i hope that how that contexts with the philip or to a broader, more comprehensive interaction in the pharmaceutical house and mattson medical.

good got this done today. my office is represented by maxine out to re so please question. thank you maria harbor. good afternoon. good afternoon, mr. ro for lee. they multi me then are body and was interested in many things. but unfortunately, we do not have much time. and my question is about iran, the rest continued to name iran for continuing installation, which they believe will result to the collaborative over negotiations on the g p. a t. ron says that the e engaged in decent formation instead of serious negotiations. what is the russian position? what should be done to make the negotiation to success? yes, unfortunately, i wish.
