after the head of the car tell said there was no current possibility to replace russian oil. also ahead. when did is this, there will be prior to the article, terrorist, and when these things are destroyed, then garza this self difference, that palestinians deserve peace and prosperity americans, envoy to the un esteeming maid caught off guard by a question on double standards by washington on the israel palestine with across the world around the clock. this is our t great to have you with us today. let's get to our top story at 7 pm in the russian capital. new humanitarian car doors are being allowed to open to allow civilians to leave the as off style steel plants in mario, paul,

the russian military has also announced a 3 day pause in hostilities russian and then yet republic forces will cease all military activity while the humanitarian roots saw in operation with troops also removed to a safe distance. earlier for than a 100 local civilians left the plot. we heard from those evacuated to a tanya than yet, cabot, they've hung to ensure which is starting on one of the 1st. the game was very scary of still the follow a tim on sunday fire. it was scheduled to go out. by that time we were just hoping that data and the slightest opportunity was and you need to leave because there may be not to, not a chance to the decision was made, tried to wait for still come to head that way. so gratefully. we have no words to express our gratitude in. my whole family is alive and mobile connections have already appeared here to will ready got news about our relatives. we can breathe air fresh air. we can walk from the ground on the grass. it's a dungeon. dell was like 3 floors down below to us. it was shaking. we were afraid

that the ceiling would fall fusion route. i think everyone is glad that everything is over. the silence has come on board with the kids today. when we had ended ever so it was still snowing short time. when we came out there we saw a grass. we walked around with the kids breathe fresh air released, the children remembered what fresh air is like. attempts to evacuate civilians from the fir tree has been made earlier with moscow stating the temporary cease fires, putting place to allow people to leave were repeatedly violated by ukrainian forces . officials from the dan yet, people's republic also say key have used to cease fires to re supply soldiers in the plant with weapons was russian territory came under fire this thursday morning with the local authorities claiming ukrainian forces shell de ton in the belgrade region. the kid had just a few kilometers from the border. 5 sizes were damaged with one entirely destroyed

this new injuries were report is among battalions. citizens. power lines are also said to have been damaged by garage, governor, said all holmes, hit by shilling will be rebuilt with sort of growth and ears. foreign policy chief usa pearl, her said, shutting off europe to russian. gauss is not under discussion. the energy source, like oil he sees, will be impossible to replace. can she cedar late, isn't that cuddled it, but the oil market is global and their alternative procures that there may be moments of transition and some turbulence in prices, but there is no serious problem of saying, oh, if i run out of russian oil, i will raise the price a lot because they will not be oil during this is not the case with oil with gas, it's a different problem. gas to begin with is not only an energy product isn't pulling money. it is not only used to my case for gas is a raw material in the petrochemical industry and the petrochemical industry in europe. and in particular, in germany ways a lot. gas cannot be replaced by anything other than gas gas from russia or

somewhere else. but it must be gas it. and that is why we are especially careful about gas because there are entire sectors of the european petrochemical industry that cannot function if it does not have gas. that topic is not under discussion at the moment. we have been discussing a lot this week and i was in latin america, but i was on the phone all the time and the discussions did not include gas. we have heard repeatedly from politicians such as yoseph, burrell, ursula vaughan de leon, and others saying, you know, the, the e must end it's dependency when it comes to russian energy. and that has previously been oil, gas and coal. and now here we have blocks foreign policy chief saying that actually a gas is not on the table saying that, you know, yes, we've been talking about diversification for the future. but obviously that's not something that can be done immediately. but there is also a question as to whether the you will have much for choice in that matter. given that we know that the deadline is fast approaching as to when it will have to

decide if it's going to a seed to what the kremlin has asked. and that is for all gas payments to be made in groups from now on. we've already seen in the last week what happens to countries that decides that they wouldn't do that. poland and bulgaria had their supplies cut off after they refused to pay for that gas supply in rubles in other countries. there you are trying to make that decision. now, there's been this conflicting advice from europe in commission in some document to say, would be possible to do this with an exchange mechanism in place. in other documents, it says no, if you pay roubles, this will breach the sanctions at the moment. so difficult kinds ahead for you to make that decision oversee when it feels there is the potential for russia to turn off those taps anyway. and essentially take that decision off the table. can other story to bring you today?

the u. s. senate is expected to pass a bill that could leave opec members and partners open to legal action that would allow the federal court to enforce judicial anti trust decisions against and let's break all about on this little dance. both opec members states and oil companies are currently protected by so called sovereign immunity laws. the so named no pack legislation is apparently intended to protect us consumers and businesses from supply cuts and global oil price hikes by opec, which america is not a member of the bill comes in a growing tension between washington and oil. cartel members after peg refused to increase production in march, the grouping recently seemed there was called no spur capacity to replace sanctioned russian oil supplies. well, that's cross live now to dr. gal, lift co director of the institute for the analysis of global security. you're very welcome to the program. joe biden is already restricting domestic oil production

with fueled prices in the u. s. on the rise, at threats to take legal action against combinations which provide 30 percent or so of the world's oil. it seems a risky move, cut it backfire and washington. well, 1st of all, i don't think the joe biden is behind this. it's primarily an initiative that comes from the u. s. congress. and they've been doing it forever. i mean, if you look back in history and see the law at least a dozen times in the past 20 years that they try to legislate this what i call feel good bill. and typically it always comes up with all prices go up because there are no remedies to this. so that sort of a little gamble that they're trying to carry favor with voters to show that something is being done. but why does this bill have a pass or ever become low?

and i expect that it will not become law and who will never reach the president's desk because it's ineffective, barely legal. and it will bring about considerable retaliation by those little bit countries that are targeted by this bill. well, let's just talk on that. then it's no secret that us saudi ties up, sorry, in recent months, re out is also refused. america is request to increase output is not a message from washington gal that either you're with us or against us. yes, but i think it's, it will backfire because the saudis have already said a long time ago when different durations of this bill, whenever it popped up, they said that they're going to retaliate by starting to shift

the world trade from dollars to alternative currencies, which could open the floodgates, expedite the fall of the dollar and from it thrown as global reserve currency, the commodities market. that's why i think that we cannot discount the retaliatory measures that some of those bank countries can take. especially now when this is not only opec, it's also open plus, which means not only the members of cartel, but also all the other exporting is including russia. some critics just from the overall picture, gal. some critics have said that this bill proves that the u. s. has no allies just interests? how accurate is that? well, it's an all quote from henry kissinger, alliances and friendships, transitory. of course, the us is much less dependent now on opec countries,

as it used to be. but i think the bank hammer and the big stick that those countries have is their ability to transform the oil trading markets from which currently dominated by the us currency into tentative currencies. you know the world, petra dollars, there is a dash, is connected towards petra and dollars and, and the saudis are these dash was they decided to break the bank. the next us between the oil and the dollar. that crude have a substantial implications for the us economy. it could also have an impact on several countries, new seizures to buy us bonds, you know, the gulf country, a saudi arabia and hughie are all important underwriters of us debt.

they may decide to step back from renewing their purchases or increasing them. so it's not cited blank fuel, you know, they, they can react retaliate and we get it very badly. and by the way, the fact that this bill is introduced in the senate should not confuse us. it's still in so past the how it needs to go to the president's desk, he will have to sign into law. and even then even happens, have to go over the course. the. those cases will take many, many, very complicated. but it's not the issue that the intent is there that you have the u. s. really thinking it can punish sovereign states for not doing what it wants and, and that leads to a very slippery slope. indeed it is. but in this particular case, i will point the finger to congress. i don't think ministration is happy about this

development because he wants, he doesn't like when congress sort of boxes them into all kind of poor at, for him policy dilemmas. so in this case, you know, you always have the hawks in congress that try to come up with all kinds of initiatives when, when things get time and right now it's in the senate. i don't know what will happen after november if the republicans when the, the senate on how's both at that point they could really put the president into a corner because they could pass this, they could legislated and then send it to the president's desk. and then he will face a dilemma whether or not to sign into law and face all of it with talent or measures . yeah, we wait to see what happens on that always great insight from television. doctor gal lift co director of the institute for the analysis of global security. thank you. you bet. what was on big has ruled out the possibility of giving

up on coal mining in order to meet you in a mission goals by 2030. the government claims the much vaunted global targets do not take into consideration realities in the african nation. coal remains one of the big main exports on foreign currency sources. anti russian sanctions, unlimited supplies of alternative energy sources of cause coal prices to more than doubled since the beginning of the year. and demand has been on the rise since the break of the conflict in ukraine. lawrence, k. freeman, political and economic analyst on africa say such western policies, border and racism as they hinder the economic development of the content. it's actually a very harsh, discriminatory policy against african, which is the continent which are the largest number of people, poverty, and the greatest number of people without access to electricity about 6000000. basically what you're saying is, and this is what is behind

a good portion of the climate change moving. he's an anti industrialization, the west and financial institutions and government with you and the i math, they're saying we're not going to cut off funding. so you can use your own natural resources to develop your own economy. and without energy, africa is in terrible shape and therefore it is discriminatory, immoral, and bordering on racism. not to allow africa, countries to human resources for the people. ok to another part of the world. now a newly released report by a local rights group has alleged that israel and holding some $600.00 palestinians without charge or trial. the highest number since 2060, that comes as americans envoy to the un appeared to be caught off guard by a question on double standards. as regards the conflict, kinsey view away from ukraine to polish finance occupied 3rd of those same thing.

because this is done that the palestinians. but when they resist their occupiers, they are called terrorists. and when these buildings are destroyed in garza, this self difference. so there is above the standard that the word can see, we have to be strong and our support and in our efforts to defend the rights of the israelis to defend themselves against rocket attacks from hamas and other terrorist groups. but we also are clear that palestinians deserve peace and now prosperity will look back. dropped to the exchange was plush, is which corrupted in jerusalem. last month over a 100 palestinians were injured. the israel palestinian conflict has been ongoing for 70 years with a series of war is taking place over ownership of land and the region. israel sees it is protecting itself from palestinian. a tonic swell are in palestine are demanding the right to create their own state. political analyst, tastier,

mohican believes it's that issue, which the international community needs to get to grips with. we are seeing that douglas times are from the are what we call the international community, especially the united states of america and european union. they are looking to that and tourists are ignoring the red dignity and interests all the people week. people as a blessing and people, and i give the israeli occupation and i to defend her ham silva from the rockets of bellis in a bible. the ignored that policy of beeble is under a co buying occupation. and since more than 7 medicaid's and no one in the world, especially a united states and europe union is supporting the policy now people out as time

goes sliding off the bus and, and people and to get their lives to about their estates. you see today or what is happening and jerusalem. we are calling for these 2 countries in the world to look at the students struggle as they are. they're dealing with younger people. a cemetery in the oldest city in the netherlands has been vandalized on wednesday. graves and monuments are the military memorial in ny mahan were defiled with swastikas, sun, ukrainian flax police have launched on investigation. the military cemetery holds the graves of more than a 1000 soldiers who died during world war 2 most belong to british troops. however, many graves hold soldiers from other countries of the british commonwealth. the more of the city called the incident disgusting while in the bulgarian capital severe residence, defended

a monument to soviets interest from activists who planned to cover all the statue with ukrainian flight pro key of activist left theory with art reaching the maria, we discussed the increasing attacks on monuments with human rights lawyer and left party member number column and martin t and the moment that happens because as well, the reception of the war which is taking place in ukraine is emotional. iced very much in the european. there is not an alliances of history, of the genesis of the conflict. there is no reprocess, which really go deeper into seeing a solution for that wall, but it's emotional lives. and if it comes together with the politics on the higher level, try to negate history and push through

a new narrative path. cranium. people in the ukraine itself and the king and yes for trying to change history. and i think this is just the wrong aspect of this that some people feel themselves important to drew some better than disrespectful like german lawmakers, meanwhile, have lashed the ukrainian ambassador after the diplomat label. chancellor will have shows an offended liver sausage politicians in the country have slumber comments? any one who doesn't expel the nazi sympathizer. melnick now has lost all self respect. oh, laughed sholtes. he's not a sausage. he is the chancellor of the federal republic of germany and melnick needs to respect that. even in such a difficult situation, diplomatic representatives should behave appropriately towards german officials. mellie statements do not help ukraine. the insults that came after chumps their

shorts declined the visit to ukraine, stating the trip was rude, though, because of kids earlier refusal to host the german president. that rejection was caused by concerns and ukraine about frank walter stein myers passed leanings towards reconciliation with russia. in response to love shows rebuke care for ratcheting up tensions and diplomatic relations. berlin residents were critical of the emb busters comments to when fuzzy it's insolence. simply insulin. i can understand that he is angry, but we are doing a lot for ukraine. it's an insult which is unworthy of a political platform. i don't think it's diplomatic. everything can be phrased differently. it's conversational language unworthy of the diplomat diplomat flight through the haps, it's too aggressive like boxes who taking doping in the fighting each other. just the fun and adding fuel to the fire war. i wonder why

a provocation of this sort comes from a country receiving so much aid. i don't get it with anti russian sanctions, adding to the volatility of agricultural supply chains, the u. n. chief phase, there's no solution for the looming hunger crisis in nigeria during a visit to the country's capital. more than 19000000 nigerians will face severe food insecurity this summer. according to a report by the un food and agriculture organization, the finding states high inflation is food commodity prices have brought 7000000 more people into food poverty compared to the previous year. the un humanitarian response plan makes up around a 1000000000 us dollars. well let's welcome live onto the program. now adama garber, the 2nd nigeria is 2023 presidential candidates. you're very welcome to the program,

sir. how's your use? the current food prices in that area, just to see, you know, we have fits of terrorism on monday. 3 are especially from the northern part of concrete. in this area, it is a foot, and a crisis have sent them a week from now farmlands, thereby increasing depreciable crisis. so it's really better that they bet on god the un secretary general finally come to nigeria. i which i believe it's not timely. why? because it's looking more to see it, it seems to me that because of depression, that the west or natural is 1st info from, from, from russia. it is all of the sanctions on the crisis. ukraine down there, they're struggling to want to get friendship with magic out once again. and by coming to show was that they have to get all the tools,

which i believe is actually not right. we knew so funny in this crisis fluid the past 2 years. there has never been any strong commitment from the united nations. everything must be bonuses from new york, but not to leech. i'm down here, not a good you know, maybe because they're trying to get nigeria and gus. unfortunately we've become good friends. so to the best of my knowledge is don't visit that is to that i don't believe it will help even, i mean, the crisis, the web. interesting because this crisis should have been 100 been a long time ago. if the end of june commitment from you, it took the questions of terrorism, and when you read that, you know what, there was no commitment. you didn't sell, we post on idea. ok, 3, able to fight. this is becoming difficult. so can i just touch on the, on the aspects that was mentioned as well the un secretary general really cast the

blame for the current situation in nigeria on the conflict in ukraine. is that the main reason? do you agree with that assessment? i completely don't. i book completely, don't agree with that because the crisis and you can start to get what it is. i'm this guy since i've been here since 2009. how come this point to get out? that's why i told you that the u. s. a interest of the west of nate, but just trying to show nigerians that they are friendly so that they can control into selling a one gas asset to the we have a 187000000 a gal which is almost 3 percent of global supply back trying to when i was in a line with them, of course conditions, but we should align with them and we don't see it reasonable for us to be able to just to song one but not in the international community. you want to as much as middle is offering. what are those all friends we wish to look?

we should not just try to books, which we shouldn't, we shouldn't be deceived. once again, into a crisis that i did mention, refused to allow me to to so we post when we demanded for more people to be able to fight the money 3 in 2018 december with this talk cylinder. what was to listen to me? i think we have 2008, you know a team and now there are would have been $1000000000.00 was there was when i just simply because of the change on that to see the promotion. well, yeah. let me, let me talk about other figures as well as you well know, the extra 350000000 us dollars. that's what the you and it's called for is not enough to make up for the missing. i put a russian on ukrainian agriculture production. it is actually not enough at all, this is the country that has about $260000000.00 consumers and we are having a vis, you know,

crisis inflation is going to be about 25 percent of our family a lot. and we have a very serious problem. well, by already, but i get you right. so we need a new address to refund me. so you're suggestion, well by, you're just trying to raise them $250000000.00. it simply means i'm giving a handout similar to the way african countries i've been treated, you know, given handled. it's all of them to improve in do a lot kills and capacity to produce do necessary. i don't want that in the, we need to sustain. i economies grow the i don't give enough find out and i not to look anything. so, i mean, it is just, it's just, it's just, again, we can look for, for you. this is just sent you. we come from what is kind of dense as you've been going through. it is a dreadful situation right now as concerns food, poverty, what can be done to ease the situation in nigeria? so we have to get our money back to the fmla and when we were to get off,

i'm on want to be a fund, is that we have to push a degree. and to do it is you don't have the average of the day as well as supposed to be. and secondly, we have to improve the use of the protocol that we are producing. this one. can you by getting better skills, sort of us can be able to from better than able to solve the need to. but 1st and foremost, i did this tricky crisis because without security pharmaca bought the farmlands, i provided a family that we could not be able to produce who did been in partition about food and was given on in partition. it was a that is why we didn't welcoming the new something that is happening, especially in the global supply chain. because food is not becoming a problem to us and we have very limited amount of dollars to be able to put what

we need to be able to have to file conventional sources that are well. but you do one more time. what i want from on, if we don't have more time what i want is a problem with why we are kids to block locker. lucian is a problem, one to one hardware depending on you do not to be able to pull them off, but i don't think it's going to. i'm also when you what i hung up goodbye security situation where i was going to want to timeline because of poverty because of to reason and monday that this ravage in those areas. only way if it was something that you would you guys use. wow. we had a bit of friends though, we're able to not get to what it's 20 crises and also do our pharma sort of become, be able to have enough resources to fund what we can, what we can be able to close in this one. well, many thanks for coming in the program and sharing your thoughts and concerns and giving us an overview of what's happening in the country as well as

a new garbage. the 2nd nigeria is 2023 presidential candidate. thank you very much . thank you for the will, that is how the news is shipping up for now. the r t newsroom are busy putting together all the latest updates on developments. i'll be here with them in 30 hope you can try me then to ah, so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk.
