you already exists in just me is more investment, and he's worried that won't happen as the u. s. and his allies are instead focusing on trying to replace gas supplies from russia. we have the basic technologies now already deployed to get where we need to in the next 8 years to meet the goal of a 45 percent reduction. but we do not have yet the technologies fully brought to scale and develop sufficiently. we can't do it if the news, the ology is going to become we've got to build out a massive gas infrastructure without regard to abatement and mitigation of that gas . and his concern, they're becoming a reality, despite the buying ministrations plan for a transition to green energy as oil production in the u. s. is currently on the rise. we forecast that production will increase to more than $12800000.00 barrels per day in 2023, surpassing the previous annual average record. it appears that u. s. foreign policy and u. s. energy policy r as odd as a report from the thing. think influence map shows that oil and gas companies are capitalizing on the concern that energy supplies will be impacted by the war and

ukraine. and they're promoting ads about american energy and energy, independence, and response. for the white house. they may also be forgetting about that green transition as report suggests they are considering waving some environmental rules on us gasoline production in an effort to reduce storing prices across the country . and it's not just the us, despite broad commitment to address climate issues, the u. k. is also launching new oil and gas project in the name of ending dependence on russia. germany is in the same boat with plans to bring coal and oil fired power plant back online. at brush it cuts off supplies to the country. china and india are also increasing their reliance on traditional fuel sources with china increasing its purchases russian oil by 50 percent. well, india plans to open one of its largest coal mines to date. so as john kerry continues to call for more money to transition away from traditional source,

it in the name of fighting climate change, it appears that many countries, including his own, are headed in the opposite direction in washington. rachel blevins, r t. well that's how the world is lookin' a full 30. am this thursday morning. moscow time on pizza. scott, on the back again with another rundown of all the news in about half an hour's time . thank you. well, the west maintains its anti russian rhetoric and backed up with ever more sanctions . the position of official kid is not so clear when addressing the davos crowd ukraine's zalinski called for negotiations. one of his chief negotiators refuted this. so where does he have stand with

ah, [000:00:00;00] with was almost a joke, justin your suit? no girl. hello, mister dill, and welcome to moscow. you've just finished

a joint press conference with your colleagues, survey lover of what does mahl expect from its partnership with russia? oh, happy with the talks you've had of sodium on this home such as her. yes, we are truly happy. we have great partner relations with russia. this long standing co operation is only getting stronger each year. yes, we've had some setbacks in the past, but now we are moving forward again. we work together on issues like security and information. and we're also hoping to be political partners in the international arena and strengthen our economic ties. we need to work on increasing trade, and that's why we came to moscow business with them. ministers responsible for the economy, finance, infrastructure, transport, mining, energy, and water resources are part of the delegation. the talks focused on the most important supply, energy, commodities. we also discussed molly's railways and enhancing various economic and trade partnership projects. this is a strategic sector for us as it affects the people of molly. that's why the

government decided to have direct talks with the russian authorities and private business owners. we need to ensure stable deliveries of commodities, despite the current turmoil facing the global economy, as well as molly, which is restricted by the economic and financial embargo. as you symbols again of over poly deliveries, they're gay, love roles talked about supporting grain, fertilizers, petroleum products from bratia to molly. i do think this will help you in the sanctions and, and bog, a situation as well. ned, formally, rosa sim, all the world. first, let me say that as a country under sanctions, molly is strongly opposed to this policy. like we said, no one can expect us to support the sanctions. this policy is not the solution was certain sectors like manufacturing fertilizers are key to food security. and molly is an agricultural country, yes. ethanol. it is a known fact that more people die of hunger than terrorism or other security related problems. and in this situation,

restrictions were imposed on strategic sectors like grain production of people in all of our countries eat bread of food shortages will lead to poverty and rising tensions in our society. we'd like to avoid that the international community should be guided by common sense when implementing certain measures to make sure they don't hurt the most vulnerable and the poor. mr. markers that occasional dec, he should put a looming food crisis, will probably affect africa the most. or do you think crushing grain experts could remedy that? sam houston will have to go put lucas pacific through my the let's look at the situation. and molly, molly produced a record amount of cotton this year over $700000.00 tons, which made us the leading cotton producer in africa. we grow different types of grain and other things besides cotton. if we can get fertilizers at a reasonable price, we will be able to grow enough food to feed our people. so selling us fertilizers or wheat at a good price would soften the blow refusal. you also have to think about the consequences and how certain actions will affect people,

what we need to make sure that the global economy continues to function and benefit the most vulnerable of them. there's it really example of it. was it a good month? alady? so sure at the press conference you spoke about the economic sanctions against melina, the how is mainly handling the sanctions precious tissue for the oil bosses, it must be noted that molly anticipated the incoming sanctions and made certain preparations, took measures that helped us to stay on our feet, as a matter of fact, some believed that our government, our entire country, would collapse within a couple of weeks and yet it has been 5 months and we are still very much afloat and determined to move forward. i have to note that all the sanction was, namely the closing of borders with molly, the freezing of our bank assets, including those held by eco, was central banks or all illegal money. these measures are not stipulated in any agreement we have signed. we have denounced these actions and we believe that instead of solving the problem, they negatively affect our population and their welfare or sanctions are not the

solution. here, a compromise might be a solution. we're waiting for a more realistic approach from regional organizations so that we can work together to reach a practical solution. molly is always committed to dialogue with a view to finding ways. forwardness will respond. compromise was, are they getting the valley curb or from an exit contact the call? so at the press conference you said that regional institutions are often manipulated by outside power. that is in that context, is it possible to reach a compromise with the regional institutions asian on said defi, see med, that would be difficult. so regional organizations are made up of member states. i wouldn't claim they are under external pressure. but i do believe that when it comes to issues of funding or one stance on particular issues, certain outside powers have been able to exert influence over some processes. if you look at how the molly case was handled by eco was member states, there were a lot of misguided decisions yet clearly there was some hidden outside influenced

by 3rd parties. we believe that african states are perfectly capable of solving africa's issues independently without foreign interference, resume regional organizations must act in a manner that opposes or evades such interference. yeah, what outside powers are interested in is not compatible with the agenda of african nations. i'm sure that african countries have enough good sense and ample opportunities to voice their opinions and pursue their own solutions. garage on at the end of the day. these outside partners, these external powers that want to dictate their will to us, always vanish as soon as problems arise rather than we are left alone to deal with them. i feel we should remain open to working with any country, but without having others manipulate us or having their agenda imposed on all of us . when you solid found interference, are you referring to the colonial powers? nations were the colonial state of mind as their gale of roof put it in the press conferences, said the marshal. yes, there is a certain neo colonialist aspect to it, but it's not just the former colonial empires. there are others that have joined in

em. don't a context of you a 20 to 40 in the context of the withdrawal of french troops from the country. what is public opinion like in malay, regarding france, how would you assess the results of operation boxing professionals come with a for sale process? it's up to france to assess the results of the operation with the objective of operation bar cane was to liberate molly from terrorist groups and provide security in the money. but i can say that 9 years later, the overall results, i say, overall results as there were many players involved. the overall results did not meet the expectations of the people of molly and the region of because we were only fighting terrorism in the north of the country hollow. and now there are growing issues with terrorism in other towns and areas. and molly, we see more and more inter, communal violence which leads to a lot of depth on average at present. the situation in many countries of the region is unstable as result. one cannot claim that molly is to blame here. yeah, bali itself suffered from the invasion of libya by western countries because of

that we lost 60 percent of anyway, the result was not worth the effort and the money invested. would it be a leverage or the congo? so the invasion of libya lamp to move all the tilt and left security. the region by she loves william. that's correct. okay, so do i go just like to stay in the subject of your country's relations with france in january, you said that you burnt ruling. anything out when it comes to molly's ties with france system or what does the current state of relations with paris? ball with a severe, probably followed the latest developments since the january statement was. unfortunately, relations have not been moving in a positive direction to this. we've gone from bad to worse, which eventually forced us to terminate a military cooperation agreement with some people, of course called for the termination of operation barking as well. but it wasn't molly that made the decisions. it was friends that decided to withdraw the truth. when it happened, molly only wished it would happen faster. today we feel it is important to talk about france,

but we want to talk about molly above all about our own issues as from our goal today is to increase the effectiveness of molly's military and security services to improve the training of our troops to protect our country and to enable our air force from our security services to fulfilled their role as protectors at the state . i don't think any foreign state could do that for us. as of course, assistance is always welcome. but molly's current rationale is 1st to make our armed forces more autonomous and 2nd, to establish cooperation with our neighbors in the region while remaining open to cooperation with our partner. this is our vision now, is that this is what we're trying to make a reality or something that will produce tangible results. ah, i ah need to come to the russians

state total narrative. i've stayed as i phone on the nose landscape div, asking him the american house that i'm at for a group in 55. we did. okay, so mine is 2000 speedy. one else with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date and square r t spoke neck, even our video agency, roughly all band on youtube said with, with her head there were 30 i

spoke earlier with her. what are your thousands of people still live in small towns and villages that have become the new front line church? i think what they call this area of the gray zone didn't like the i talk to really early from the of course, pretty me what i was only mother. he's a, with a trailer sharper. this is or village olivia elder. so nobody wants to that. similarly wars from dom or was it a there are other show berella like do i screwin or she has school or career lennox on roku or blue shield? little so she made a double hit thunder,

gave was what he alleged with before he boyfriend who here, scratch your party, throw your favorite them with a gentleman other than you should be a proud name becomes the african and engagement. it was the trail when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground.

ah, but a lot about talking with the school. i hope that i see a with a ford edge that also choice issue somebody over there. both of those

with a lot of video with look out to you up with an idea raise, you know, that way they don't mind a just a mom barbara who this is like is talk about challenges related to national security . how is molly going to deal with after the country pulls out of the g 5. how lose effect on us? we are working on ways to deal with these challenges. also the g 5 salt hill was not doing what it was meant to do fully the work that the group was supposed to do . and molly fell mostly on the shoulders of the molly,

an army. you've probably heard the statement by molly's chief of staff 5 days ago. he said that leaving the g 5 sa hell will not affect the anti terrorism efforts in malia and our troops are perfectly able to maintain security and molly independently of the group. this is a political decision that we had to make because we felt it was unfair to deny molly presidency of the group. and as long as we are members of the g 5, there is nothing in the agreement that makes it possible to expel a state because of changes in its domestic policies or to introduce sanctions or other restrictive measures imposed by other regional organizations. all of these factors taken together, lead us to take this decision mom, we felt that the g 5 style was not acting independently, and we felt that outside interference prevented the group from functioning autonomously and fulfilling its mandate. so there have been serious disagreements between members. stale food. molly's withdrawl from the g 5 sato the company

to add to terrorism alterations. and the regional level will do believe this that will have no effect on regional cooperation, which was of it. just think that the g 5 salt hill is not the only available format for regional cooperation on before. we've had other collective security mechanisms at the regional level, such as the joint military staff committee, which consisted of molly algeria in the chair. and martini is a body that could be reanimated to fill the gap. although it hasn't always been up to the task as well. it was then there is the know a caught process which include some of the g 5 saw him nation within the framework of the african union. in other words, there are other options. of course, there is the collective approach, which means participating in organizations or collective security mechanisms with other states on the regional note. but we could also build bilateral ties with some of these states, exploring both existing and new models of cooperation water. so i don't think the g 5 saw the way to go, they could you go barrel more of

a small the laugh house. some believe that with from gone rush and china becoming more and more active in the region. how would you respond to that? go? well that you could teach him in the frantic this is the way we should view cooperation. at any rate, we don't feel it's right to make our country a battle ground for different countries to compete on us. it is important for molly and other states in the region to be able to set our own priority my head to have our partners respect our sovereignty of what we need is a mutually beneficial mode of partnership with other nations. we need to come together and decide what each side can gain from working with one another. and also we don't believe that when one of our partners comes in through the door, one of the other should go out through the window while he doesn't work like that. we won't accept this approach. molly will not be subject to any one title to address or left. no one can decide for us who we can. partner with our country is planning to work with everybody with russia, china, and turkey. the united states and europe are always willing to interact with others

if it's in molly's best interest in this. it is vital that this cooperation develops in an atmosphere of mutual respect to transparency and reciprocity. europe . to me, this is fundamental and i am confident that each partner can bring their own strength to the equation becomes this way, it will benefit everyone is important. for example, in our relations with russia, we know what we're offering, but we also need to know what we're being offered in return or say, with china, it can give us something that the european union will not. for instance, we've decided to partner with russia on security matters, and molly, because it meets our demands for military equipment, which we cannot easily get from others. and that's just one example. they don't use the marker, hence why problems. so discontent with the fact that molly partnering, china and russia, known what we don't see a problem here because molly belongs to molly ends and it's eventually up to them to decide who they want to work with. if somebody wishes to partner with us, we would welcome them. but i believe it's time to finally reject the way of

thinking that allows one country to dictate to others what they ought to do of where they ought to go. and who to partner up with countries belong to the people who live there. and they are entitled to decide what they want to do. i'm sure we are grown up and reasonable enough to be able to act in our own interests. and our partners have to stop looking down on us and saying, be careful with china. be careful with russia and i believe africans, and molly and in particular are capable of seeing for themselves what is good for them and what is knocked when building relations with other countries, including those who like to tell us how to live. we know precisely what we can or cannot get from our partnership with them. i think we have to respect one another and treat one another according legal showing regard for your partners. dignity of every country pursues its own interests and it's normal. but we also need to keep in mind other countries in triples instead of trying to dominate them just of do your partner policy. and this new approach is precisely what we are asking from other african nation law meeting with the chinese counterpart. and if you both

trust the importance of reinforcing economic ties between the countries, what do you think of the right way to develop corporation with beijing? you spoke of mutually interest as the basis for bilateral relations. but all the and specific aspects tamale's partnership with china. because solar brom politic lumala. com that the african elliptical viewpoint molly and other african states don't have any problems with china because this country does not try to assert its dominance over us. at least not from a political point of view. the chinese are actively pursuing their economic interests in the region and here our main task is to introduce our own terms for them. the formulas in cooperation with a country like china can be beneficial to for decades, the international community and global financial institutions have refused to invest in our infrastructure. for example, working with china, we have been able to secure funding for many projects of road and bridge construction. without this partnership,

it would have been impossible and we deem it very important at the moment. however, we need to discuss certain things, even with the chinese. even this partnership requires certain work from us. you, you see, we need to ramp up our own capacities, not just replace africans with the chinese. i believe the chinese presidents in africa is viable as part of knowledge exchange training programs and collaborative work. there are things you need to discuss with each one of your partners and discuss them over and over again. what as of now i can say that the partnership with china is developing most dynamically in africa. in some countries they have chinese business men and even the military. it's kind of a package deal i should say. but let me repeat this. you had the only african who can decide the terms for foreign investment in their country along less, you know, china, as i see it is present in many economic sectors and health care. they're investing a lot in the african continent, but i think what we need now is that african must commit to protecting their own interest, because the chinese won't do this for them. and as you know, a holy places never empty the saying, go on. therefore,

our task is to define the rules of the gain and the terms on which we will work, the terms of cooperation. and it's not just about china and we need to achieve progress with every partner to discuss certain things once again. again, depending on the capacity and preparedness of each african state to assume responsibility for the choice they may or, and bring their standpoint up for discussion. what would be an acceptable if it is only the african country or vice versa? their partner that stands to win from this partnership, so we need to work out. so right mechanism of interaction in many countries come to this continent because they wish to get access to our mineral re sources. and africa needs to make sure it is no longer viewed as only as a source of raw materials by china, russia, or any other country. we want the countries that come here to bring investment to us agriculture, for example. we want them to invest in agriculture to modernize and transform our economy to contribute to industrialization and create added value. but i'm only, for example,

produces cotton. but the current production output is very small and put if we could step up cotton production significantly, which will give us more jobs for the people and increase political stability in the country. prove the security situation. you provide a solution to the problem of youth unemployment. when many young people end up in terrorist and paramilitary groups or flee across the mediterranean, hoping to have more luck over there. we are dealing with a whole set of issues here and you really need a strategic approach to be able to address them at all this way. everyone will get what they want and nika no. thank you so much. oh, my pleasure. thank you. i bought them with you, how much is with you? i'm

with full credit. it's got to boot from beach, gonna still be patient, but it's in the board

with well, the west maintains its anti russia rhetoric and backed up with evermore sanctions. the position of official kid is not so clear when addressing the davos crowd ukraine's zalinski called for negotiations. one of his chief negotiators refuted this. so yes, dan, ah, ah, what they're doing is we're, we're, we're good. yeah, this is doubles. are going to call to talk to you about the school. i hope that i see

a reply with a ford edge that also produce a choice issue. somebody over there, both those with you about video will you look, are you a yeah, and i do so as you know that way,
