u. s. against taking legal action against opec plus, which could lead to a huge rise in oil prices. it comes as the commodity reaches 7 with from las go to the world. they say it's r t pleasure to have your company today. my name's you know me. abandoning the policy of neutrality. it would be the wrong decision for finland was the message from russian president vladimir putin during a phone call with his finished counterpart, the president's disgust by law row relations on the situation in ukraine. vladimir putin stress that russia does not pose a threat to finland. he also said kiev has lost interest in the negotiation process

. solely minister in turn informed the russian leader about his country's intention to apply for nato membership. russia's top diplomat claims the recent stamps by western countries a month to a declaration of a total hybrid war against moscow. attempts to isolate russia would inevitably feel, he says, lithium is up with number. the collective west has declared a total hybrid war and it is difficult to predict how long it will last, but it is clear that everyone will feel the consequences. without exception. we did everything to avoid a direct collision. what is the challenge has been presented? we of course, accepted western politicians of course, need to understand that their attempt to isolate our country are doomed. further reproach meant with our allies beyond the former golden 1000000000 is an absolutely inevitable process. and it is of a mutual nature. and we, the united states,

china and everyone else understand that today the question has been decided whether the world order will become truly fair democratic and polish centric, or whether this small group of countries will be able to impose on the international community in neo colonial division of the world into those who consider themselves exceptional and others are destined to fulfill the will of the elect multiple residential areas in the done yet republic came under intense shelling by ukrainian troops on saturday, 3 years, 3 years or 3 years in the capital. one woman suffrage shropshire wounds on was taken to hospitals. this video shows a supermarkets on the western side of the fire. the place has not been extinguished . local authorities also report a school and kindergarten being damaged by showing as well as many apartments in the area. while in the loop dance republic, including troops flew off a reservoir,

a floodgate in an area currently controlled by here is according to local authorities. they are several residential areas near by face the risk of flipping through to be incident on the outskirts of more youthful, the stand off over the a self style steel factory continues the kremlin. once again stated that few korean militants can leave the facility and are guaranteed humane treatment if they lay down their arms or ukraine, expressed its willingness to sign a document with russia about the evacuation process. when more you pull itself, attempts are being made to return some semblance of normality to the ruin city. but invisible threats to remain as many, unexploded munitions remained scattered across the region. our teeth eager shit done visit a local power station that's currently being denied. so the sap is of the joint

force of rush and the next people's republic. they are right now working on d mining this field. you can see him probing the ground over there after the metal detector. beeped saying, suggesting that something explosive might be that, well, apparently it was a false alarm, so we can still safely move kind of following in the footsteps, and they're working on d mining. and essentially, the general plan is to bring back to power the power plant over there and bring back the so much needed electricity supply to the city of mario po. this is not the 1st time sap as have had to comb through this field. normally, multiple efforts are required to remove the sign reading danger. mine's a little some key infrastructure like the hospital is functioning once again, but that's

a small step group of monitoring a house. but the mining brigade is currently checking the area for unexploded ordinances. they were planted by the ukrainian forces. the territory we've been tossed with is very large. we haven't been to the city yet now wake clearing power lines since energy is one of the 1st needs of the population is necessary that the electricians are able to restore the infrastructure and provide supplies for the residential areas. as much work to do that again, the main power line to dentist has already been checked and cleared. so power grid workers has started the restoration that will go with sounds of blood from the as of style steel plant still rumbling through marble. the rest of the city is trying to scramble together bits of peaceful life. those remaining and murray are used to hearing cannon aids both day and night. but some of these bloss actually sounds of approaching peace, not war. i'm a get done of reporting from are you po,

r t. okay, something else to tell you a by today questions are being raised about a news report by the us network, cnn, which earned an interview with you, kristian soldier who came killing russians, has become like a sport to him. funny to see like when it's not funny to see sexual very strange when you see like people being killed and you like yeah, very weird feeling to be honest, but it's like the support. now i don't know examples of extremist views have featured in a number of western media reports during the conflict, but given the little comment, the b, b. c interviewed a soldier who are not c badge on his jackets while the sun newspaper showed a funeral ceremony but failed to mention i'm attending purely wearing another s s division sign during listen or 3rd dining hall is our gave us his take on the media as a parent willingness to turn a blind eye to new naziism. the corporate media,

cnn, 1st and foremost, has turn itself into a cheerleader for them out to the american military. and therefore, it is like no cheering on the, on the war. fever cheering on the blood thirsty. ready enough in the correspondence should have said something of the correspondence should not have pitched in so gladly should not have encouraged the the, the ukrainian. busy soldier, it has shown a complete incapacity for any kind of critical thought. it isn't normalization of, of anti russian violence and it's very dangerous. it's threatened in terms of violence against russian individuals in europe or america. violence is spreading and the corporate media are supremely irresponsible. and egging this on you will have noticed that energy prices continue to rise after

months on the picking really new heights and know at top opec members or warding that a new bill, being considered by the u. s. to target members of the body could send prices, even if you hinder that system, you need to watch what you're asking for. because having a chaotic market, you would see a 200 percent or 300 percent increase in the price is that the world cannot handle the legislation which is passed by the u. s. senate committee is called the no oil producing an export. cartels or no pack built, it would allow us to bring anti trust lawsuits against opec plus members, including russia over allegations of collusion and price rigging in the oil market . i believe that free and competitive markets are better for consumers than market is controlled by a cattle of state all toil companies. competition is the very basis of our economic system. but back leaders or warning that implementing the bill would put more pressure on prices and they can handle which would lead to major instability in the oil market. extreme of volatility is not because of supply and demand his because

some don't want to buy certain crews. and it takes time for traders to move from one market to another. the idea of trying to boy cause certain crude is going to be risky, regardless of the motives behind that, at the same time, saudi arabia's warning that the world is running out of energy capacity as key producers reduce investment in fossil fuels, pushing oil, diesel, and natural gas to near record high. i am a dinosaur, but i have never seen these things. the world is to wake up to an existing reality . the world is running out of energy capacity at all levels. well, the saudi arabia and the u. e are investing in greater output, they are still warning that more is needed across the board, or else it could keep opec plots from being able to guarantee supplies as demand continues to recover. and what is the us doing to address the problem? well, aside from the bill to target opec and plans, you isolate russian oil from the world market. the binding ministration has moved

to cancel multiple oil and gas leases near the gulf of mexico and alaska effectively removing millions of acres from possible drilling. some members of congress warned that decision could jeopardize energy security for the us. i can't imagine a more tone deaf, short sighted decision that jeopardizes our economic and energy security without doing a single thing to help the environment or the american people over president vine. it continues to refer to this or in cost as food prototype, but just how long will that catch phrase stick even all of the actions, the u. s. is taking right now, and what long term impact will they have on the global energy market in washington? rachel blevins, archie, the german foreign minister on a lena per box has a huge rush of engaging in a hybrid war which exacerbates world hunger at the same time been dish diag members say that living cause orienting thing into all germans wealth with some people

ripping significant benefit yeah, fiber, stagen, shy prices are rising and eating away people's income and wealth. even the middle class need to cut spending. now, while those who could barely make ends meet before are now in despair, yet despite rising prices, not everyone is getting poorer. in march alone, oil companies declared an additional $1200000000.00 euros and profit. this is brazen profiteering for more and the government is closing its eyes to this. yeah, something else to tell you about the european look board has worn down to increased costs are threatening the survival of dairy farmers and no production in europe. the main problem is the extreme rise in cost you to higher prices for imports like fertilizers, feed and energy. the european statistical office also reported a significant growth in food alcohol and tobacco prices in april, compared with previous months. an owner of a dirty firm in germany has spoken about the issues that farmers are facing in the

current climate bones just for us. the complains come from a different site, of course we get high prices for our mail, but we also need a lot higher prices because we have employees and then we have the packaging coast . in the end, we always had an increase in sales, but we also noticed relatively quickly what happens when the customer was allowed to travel again, namely that the milk sales collapsed. and now the wars grade in provence for us to we buy rate, the scrap, which of course completely impacts the prices for middle production. the day reforms are tied to the market. they have very, very cross purchase agreements and it is sometimes not easy to fulfill them. so of course many day reforms earn money, but there are also many things that can be very quickly have negative impact. let me say this cheekily de reform doesn't get more money. the major money is pocketed by the bank for i think, especially in the current situation, we have to be very careful that we maintain for security, for example,

the security of supply hey, a lot of worried people out there at, let's speak to journalist or through political list on this thomas route per thomas . welcome to the program. so there you have the german foreign minister warning of a possible global hunger catastrophe. really, house series is about risk. the risk is really serious. we see the rising prices for food since more than a year at the when the coven measure started. so, and now we have the problem again, and it's rising because of the sanctions. many, many things. there are no sanctions on like grain or something like that, but as the, nobody knows whether his payment goes through this. there are many disturbances in the trade with russia. right? no rush is one of the biggest producers. and if you can't be sure that your payment is going, you can't be sure that you get something so, and because nobody knows which banks will be things tomorrow,

i have spoke to many people who have really a problem and they are trading with things with the product which i'm not, not under some sanctions, but they still can make any trade between russia and europe because nobody knows what the payment goes through. and so that due to trade, to stop because of this. and this makes a big problem. really. you have western country thing. russia is conducting a hybrid war on provoking a food crisis while moscow is claiming the, the west 1st thing. well, you're not letting it into the global markets because of sanctions. where does the responsibility lie here? who's right? well, it's obvious. the west is always baby russia, but who started the pension. and as i said, when we're no company can be sure where the payment goes through. that can be no trade, and russia can't sell anything. if they can't be sure that they get money, and this is the problem of essential. so it's the wish to start with the essential cost problem. and while people are suffering, as you were saying, with those costs,

you've got nato members. lest we forget spending billions of dollars in providing the cleaning government, including some neo nazi battalions within the military. and with lethal aid is defeating russia. more important for western countries, them protecting their own economies obviously. well, i'm really livid. talked about what's happening in general. no, when ministers, which should fight for the old people felt for the wealth of the people say well we're all getting poor now. sorry back. sorry guys. while at the same moment they have 100000000000 additional for the for the german army. when there was a discussion about a give giving additional pensions to the poorest pensioners. and we were talking about cost of 1500000000 each year. and this was too much. they were discussing it more than a year. and now for the army, they're just, you know, one week they found 100000000. it's crazy and i really don't understand why the

people in jeopardy don't go to protest already in this case because they, they tell them openly, you will get poorer, but we have hundreds of billions for weapons. what's that? 77 years ago, the victors in world war 2 established the united nations as an organization which would solve prices like the ukraine conflict. it seems that a valid mechanism has stalled to put a big issue on your shoulders, thomas, what's the way out of this crisis? i, well, the west is killing the u. n. already for years. the west is now talking about how that whole they call it that you a rule based world order, whatever, whatever just this we have to rule based world order. this is the international law in the car, the car to of the united nations. but the west doesn't like it because of the, the, well, the countries of the world are not always following the west. so now the rest says, well, the u. m. is less effective and we have to make our own world on and so on. it's

the west killing this post more international legal system. and this is what is what is causing the problems. thomas many thanks for your thoughts today. journalist arthur and political unless live on the program thomas ripper. russia is foreign ministry spokesperson has commented on the detention of a lovely and member of the european parliament, the protest which took place in regus against the demolition of a soviet war memorial of european neo nazis. and the lottery and minister of the interior responded by declaring the country was quotes ready to escort any one who came to d? nuts, a fi lot via we are also ready to go. it's how those 2 have come to 10 of the fi. democratic and legal latvia. crowds gathered in the town hall square and friday to

protest against the memorials, potential demolition. despite the protest being banned by authority, came after the left, the parliament passed a bill suspended on agreement with russia on the preservation of 2nd world war and monuments. attentions emerged after authorities use bulldozers to clear flowers brought by locals for the main one victory de commemoration protesters demanding the right to express their opinions freely. i feel like every person has the right to speak them on rocks. and these demonstrations, not minding the fact that the police are, hey, i think every person, no morning, the fight, the police pushed us all away. i really hope that this comes to an end in a good way. i really hope that people will have their free speech back in my contra re, humphreys me. i would almost, i got a brand on

the dash normally that bought them mesh, bought that large. what about that you my yes, that i made the river. got them on moscow has condemned the decision by the laughing authority saying it defies any reasonable explanation. it also choose riga, being, quote, the most aggressive rissa, phobic ally of b, e. u. nato. we're a local activist. the say about the law fin government's decision will challenge remind me and swore began, and ukraine, the situation has escalated. russians, living laugh, he are being blamed for everything in anything. levia believed it was always occupied by russia. everything starts with the also at ease which they consider the monument, a symbol of russian aggression, and are taking the steps to demolish it as soon as possible. sure, they are fighting against russians, which i am russian, but i was born in leather. it hurts me. so much to see this happening yesterday,

the band to protest russians were not given a chance to express their view every day new laws are imposed and we did not know what to expect. the authorities did not unite people, latvians russians, ukrainians, quite the opposite. they dividers. i did not go to the demonstration yesterday because i was afraid of being arrested like many others. now, every russian living in latvia is considered an outcast. another chilly message from the european politician german parliament member, anton, who fried her, assured his opinion while the west should send more weapons to keep forces. this is the ukrainian say, do you understand what will happen if russia, these is our territory and the worst will come with not sending arms to ukraine, lead to the russian army, capturing more territory, capturing and killing more civilians and raising more women for less cross live now to alexander, duke and russian geo political analyst and author,

welcome to the program. we just heard it there in germany, a bender, stag member from the greens as well. we should remember mister and hoof writer explain why more weapon should be sent to ukraine because otherwise russians would kill more civilians, rape more women, and take more territory. how appropriate are such statements from german politicians. so i think that now re written us on the real wave of russo for that in the west. so that is quite amazing that no rational arguments, no reasons nor explanation, no fright check and think go change is the general attitude of hatred of our people. so if you are russian, you are guilty from that, from my definition, that is a very special moment because of that is the kind of manifestation over your hatred

. so nobody inquires about the real real advanced who is wrong? who is right, but that is the pro wally of be in and wester. my dad's we are blood muggers. all russians are guilty and responsible for everything bad than the world. so finally, they have discovered the real enemy, americans, after the fall of the soviet union, they were in search of de new enemy because russia didn't feed to these demand. but now it seems that west has finally found the enemy. and these an image are we ourselves and that is really kind of the emergence of the mythology of the midst of the hatred. all them fee are all law,

revenge of the wheel to re ways to russia for everything done during our history. so all our classic classical authors and the teachers go see all our historical leaders now written over these amazing wave of a rule. so for the guy that does not know extend does not go on for however long or is there a way to reverse this versus phobic trends? so i think i see you, i fear we are just in the 1st stage of this process because if we consider the strategical sedation new crime, it is clear the special special military nation. good not seen go quite soon. so it's for sure it will demand more time. and each 2nd

of this confrontation i gave the worst not against you credit again, the global bruce a big with will increase and will few will this, this attitude. so we just end the beginning of this process. so we should understand that worry, well, we need to be prepared for that. is it, in my opinion, in my opinion, it would be irresponsible to hold that it will and soon so no, it will not, and soon and i could not imagine when it will and but for us the most, the bottom the is to continue to follow our logic, our ethics, our, our national interest, different our whalers, and our identity is the only way to deal with the east way for, for us or for that you wrote recently that russia would not,

under any circumstances engage in discrimination such as your printer phobia america. phobia and so on. however, we often hear on russian media about the u. s. nature, our aggressors and enemies and date. doesn't that rhetoric qualify a so called west phobia? no, i don't, i don't. i don't think so. the main, the main goal. they main week to of this issue is russian people in the summer rush and people around people, his history from people, as it is not about regime they don't criticize regime, they criticize a day attack us. and every thing that, that is in the play, we're russia that try to understand the rational psychology russian fees to russian . i did edit the immediately becomes the read him or the real aggression. so when we criticize the west, we can put

a war to expand our critics on french people, german people, american, be both. we don't, i knowledge, knowledge that we are fighting against ukraine is because we don't fight against ukraine. and so we have no for this, but we, we could not, not remark what is going on that way. we could not, not remark macy's and the growth of nate, isn't the new grant. so replied again for b against re season in all time in the ukraine and her version in liberal version of that. so we fight against 4 bit, but we don't, bro, more the other country they can pull that, we'd like to to restore that kind of balance. the natural natural balance in the theme, but of course, a conflict is ongoing despite statements, mr. going from boat, russian, ukraine,

assuring that neither army is targeting civilians, ordinary people are dying in ukraine. was this so called collateral damage or a predictable consequence of the offensive, and how can it be justified? so i think that are, for russia, said as rules, this special military operation is existential chose. so we don't fight for acquiring some extra territories or to impose our country and sorry to say, do you think all diplomacy had been explored? i think i think yes. and this is precisely why this special military operation stop it. because all other means are exhausted. we try to explain what we want from the when in all possible manner and nobody, nobody heard out. so that was that, and i think we were obliged to do what we have done. it is not with the easy part

because always a lot of the over human life as a great good g. we could not say all just the kasia ality, now it is not k who ality. it is the real human tragedy strategy. it could not approve that we were deplored that way when it is impossible to, to, to be common silence. so it's out there that because in this strategy that is doing of our people on both sides because we don't consider you crimes to the other day. 7 our people may let people totally boys and people becoming that we've jim of russia for a big connect, see propaganda, but still they are our sales and that ed ed frederick dimension to what is going on. but we had no other choice. we have read 30 left out just we have

limited time, but i just wanted to ask you, what do you foresee this conflict? prolonging how long do you think it may last? i will say it will last where very long, because it is not just the conflict vizier graham and has the real and ongoing confrontation with the west and west. global ist global is to want to talk to safe. they are you in a ball or world order they a gemini, and we could not any multiple or aid that that is just the beginning. i'm very, i a but it is sad to to say that, but i think we're still in the 1st phase of special military ration. well, thank you for coming in the program and sharing those thoughts and with this, we appreciate it. alexander, duke and russian geopolitical analyst under with her how did torture 1st justified by fear of the communist threats.
