ah, ah, the average gas price in the us reaches an all time record of more than $5.00 per gallon with the cost at its highest in california. we don't want to go too far. we don't want to use the car to my it's pointless to guys right now from out of buying . i can do because i think with lifts, boom lifts, light. 3rd, us media bloss washington dumping billions of dollars worth of weapons into the black hole of the ukrainian military. that's of kiev. now tease is the deliberate installing on delivery. i protest break out in the pakistani capital after an indian ruling party spokeswoman

it seems to installed prophet mohammed with a very welcome. i'm geology was he and this is all t international with all the latest world news headlines are good to have you with your average gas prices in the u. s. hayton, all time national high. if more than $5.00 per gallon, that's almost $2.00 more than dr. is we're paying just a year ago. so lot of buying, i can't do because i have to pay for those in lifts. boom lifts later. well, you got to think about gas now. you gotta decide, is it really worth it to go out there or not? good. then either way, i want to go to the glow or go to the bar. so been gotta spend money just to have fun with then on that. yeah. well, so you know, you gotta think about that. i usually put full, preferably like the dollars. there's like a $100.00. we don't want to go too far. like we don't wanna use the car too much

because it's pointless to gallery now. gas prices started to rise rapidly following the start of the war in ukraine. when the u. s. imposed tosh sanctions on russia's energy sector. however, the measures have now come back to bite with the price of gas in the state of california. at more than 6 dollars bit gallon, it's just one of $21.00 us states where prices have climb to more than $5.00. and while some predict even worse consequences, the government is proposing unpopular decisions in an attempt to handle the crisis . ortiz don't quota reports. us gas prices just keep on skyrocketing, breaking new records nearly every week. the strain on americans wallets that the gas pump has gotten so bad that one republican congressman says, people would save money by getting high to get around at this point. and in my state, the price of gas is so high that it would be cheaper to buy co

kane and just run the everywhere. it probably wasn't serious, but the point still stands. prices have gotten so high that a michigan police department has asked its officers to keep eating donuts at the office and just follow up on calls over the phone to avoid using gas with 3 and a half months left and its fiscal year. the department has already used up 96 per cent of its gas budget. according to the american automobile association, people's' cars are breaking down in the middle of the road a lot more frequently as people try to test the limits of their gas tanks all the while. the white house continues to blame vladimir putin for the suffering of americans. you know, if you look at what happened when putin started amassing troops on the border with russia, the price of gas has increased by a dollar and 51 cents. of course, those well off enough to afford electric cars are so disconnected from reality that they're wondering while these ordinary people don't just stop buying gas. if it's so expensive. i do have to say just on the issue of the oil and gas prices after

waiting for a long time, read to have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle. i got it and drove it from michigan. say here, ah, this last weekend and went by every single gas station. it didn't matter how high it was. and so i'm looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to vehicles that aren't going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies in the international markets. surprise, surprise. many did not appreciate that sentiment. this stab now as a typically clueless, arrogant, smug, shelter, democrat politician, vote every democrat out. nothing shows how out of touch democrats are like saying people should just buy an expensive electric car. they can't afford in the middle of record high inflation. what self righteous frills, like these don't care, is that 90 percent of the american population will never be able to afford an

electric car. it's no wonder or recent a b. c. news poll shows americans are overwhelmingly dissatisfied with how joe biden is handling the economy. over 70 percent of respondents said the u. s. president wasn't doing enough to bring down the price of gas and inflation as a whole. and with mid term elections right around the corner, the democrats are likely to get a run for their money. that's nonsense. i mean, look at the price. the cars are going up very fast, and electric vehicles are going up even faster than the average price. the cars, the price of the, of financing, the interest rates are going up. and people's real disposable income is going down because of inflation. i mean, you know, how are you going to finance? are you going to buy a new car? they clearly did not the estimate, the impact that the sanctions would have on global inflation and, and to me it seems very, very stupid by u. s. policy makers, you know, just coming off of this terrible cove, it impact on the economy to take this big risky move here with,

with these sanctions. i don't think they were really thinking this thing through very well because certainly especially europe is going to be very much impacted by this very seriously. and it's, it's obviously going to lead to another recession here. certainly in the u. s. in europe. and maybe not in china, certainly in the emerging market countries. meanwhile, america's energy security envoy doesn't deny that russia may not be getting more revenue from its fossil fuels than before the war in ukraine, u. s. and e. u sanctions on the russian energy sack they gave moscow the room to redirect it, supplies to other major energy consumers, such as china and india. however, washington has recently asked indian not to purchase too much russian oil, professor of economics and politics. jack ross, thomas again says he believes countries worldwide continue to suffer as a result of u. s. policies. u. s. a whole strategy here was in part to dry russia out of

western europe economy. so the u. s. corporations can move in particularly the oil and gas corporations, and that's exactly what's happening as long as the war goes on and the sanctions go on, which will go on even after the war, according to martin. as long as that occurs, the economic pressure on europe, both in terms of inflation and recession, will intensified. i think europe and some emerging market countries whose currencies are collapsing because of your policy are going to be the hardest hit as a result of what's going on here globally, the u. s. will will take some, some heat to economically current global economic challenges all the result of countries. internal policies says the russian president, an anti russian sanctions, are exacerbating things for those who impose them. yes, this daughter,

if someone tries to limit us on something, they in fact limit themselves. for example, when someone tries to curtail at the export of our fertilizer or the price is fine . i sure that i'm primarily for them or not for us when they are trying to limit our energy resources, pricing, dyrock it again, machine already calling inflation to my my name. we have absolutely nothing to do with it. this is the result of their own mistakes and long term warms they radios areas. i thought the phase of them and now get in and out with them. so we are trying to shift all the blame to rush him. the 2 syrian president, bashar al assad, has also been talking about the global economy, blaming the long term economic policies of separate countries and global economic trends for the current crisis. not only the war and ukraine and the sanctions that followed that in an exclusive interview with archie. you can see that full later this hour. but for now is a quick preview. and what's going on here for the sanctions are part of the problem

because they raise costs and slow the economic process. but there are other global reasons like cobra, 1900, for example. the west is presenting a narrative that the current problems are a result of the ukraine war and more precisely a result of russian policy. the, the reality, however, is different. some of the national challenges are due to internal economic planning and not only external factors. so it is important to distinguish between challenges arising as a result of sanctions. as a result in government plans or as a result of the overall economic environment which could be due to policy companies or happens a citizen all impact the economic situation both positively and negatively. on who on the high so me u. s. media outlets, the peters made a u. turn in their coverage to the war and ukraine. and then now criticizing washington for what's been called incompetent oversight in helping kiev ortiz caleb

open picks up the story. the new york times is generally been quite support in the u. s. actions supporting ukraine it's demonized. russia is celebrated the relationship between us officials and the ukraine government. however, this latest article seems to indicate things between the united states and ukraine are not as cosy as you might have been led to believe. from what this latest article indicates, us officials are not receiving classified briefings and information about ukraine's upcoming military operations. ukraine is not sharing information with united states while ukraine continues to demand more weapons and funding. here's what a former senior us intelligence official had to say about us relations with the granting government. how much do i really know about how you green is doing? can you find a person who will tell you with confidence, how many troops has ukraine last? how many pieces of equipment has ukraine last? now, at this point, the united states is spending $100000000.00 her day on arming the ukraine. whether

it's in terms of direct financial aid or weaponry. and there's been an approval recently for long range missiles given to the ukrainian government. and this indicates that concerns about where are these weapons and where this funding is actually going and whose hands might end up in are becoming more serious. here's how some analysts to view the situation. the new york times report, if accurate reveals shocking incompetence on the part of joe biden, and his national security team. would you give a hand gun to a man with no arms and no legs? hell, no. but the new york times as admitting that the united states supplying weapon systems without any idea whether there are competent personnel and ukraine capable of using the weapons. now concerns have been raised by members of the u. s. congress and calls for an inspector general to look into the continued flow weapons and funding and the ukraine. there is concerns about weapons turning up on the black market after the states has provided them. ukraine has been described widely

as a country known for having lots of corruption. so at this point, it seems the new york times is joining this echo of concern about us activities in the region. we've spoken to former c l. a analyst, larry johnson, who says it's unlikely that the u. s. lack such information on the ukrainian military. so it has to be smoke and mirrors. number one, the united states has a collection plan. i'm certain against ukraine, so they should have been collected intelligence from the outset. but apart from that, you've had both cia officials and senior military officials, co located which ukrainian military officers in creating the intelligence officers . so if you noted, states are complaining that it doesn't know what's going on. it's simply so your internal communication that they're not sharing information. i actually think

what's going on is this is being trotted out as an excuse because the united states, i believe, is trying to figure out a way to just engage itself from this target that is, finds itself in with respect to the war in drain weapons, which have been sent by the west to kiev, are already apparently leaving ukraine being sold for vast amounts on the black market, not according to moscow, which stresses that such moves, leaves the e u, playing with fire. the arms could end up in the hands of terrorists. since the start of russia's military operations, several countries have sent billions of dollars worth of arms and ammunition to ukraine, letting teach, heading weapons and handheld anti tank across launches several international law enforcement agencies, including europe, whole, already concerns about those weapons i ending up on the black market, we've received some insight on the issue from the head of the russian delegation of

arms control in vienna. in open sources and internet, you can discover then the jolene search systems as a tgm, they already in the hands, so it live terrorists and the price. a lease is $30000.00 and the labor to the place that i saw. mama weapon whipple shows up in dark internet offering, not on the lease, but i think that it's the and the other weapons. it's really dangerous, and we warmed our putnam colleagues in the forum live. it's dangerous, not only for ukraine, but it's called little damage over the seattle legal separating call small arms and light weapons. it's collateral damage to be also for europe,

the other parts of the world because it's very dangerous weapons for the civilians . we want a lot of times, what do they think sending more and more weapons to ukraine. and there is their responsibility. accountability. i don't see. good. they really think about my, you that the a is this, the middle ization in ukraine, but the, they have forgotten that they call it a little damage of these. or is this the villas ation situation in europe too? and so we are fighting to persuade them. come on guy, sir, but he's sig, deliver the message to your capitals that it's really dangerous. meanwhile, we don't have clear, clear answer to this. ah, the chair of the african union says it's necessary to de mind,

campus waterways in odessa to let your cranium grain reach the global market that comes with the whole continent now under a real threat of a fit crisis. sulphuric, it is necessary to do everything to help free the grain of ukraine, sending it through the black sea. from the port of odessa, we already experiencing a shortage of serials on the continent. and also shortage of fertilizes agriculture in africa, is not very productive. around a 100 vessels are believed to be stuck in the black sea, with a cruise unable to leave, and it looks like that they could be there for months as the un maritime agency stresses. even if the ports wanted to reopen tomorrow, it would take some time until ships could enter or depart completely removing c mines and the port areas would take several months. the main issue affecting the export of ukrainian grain is said to be the many minds that blocked the countries ports. but russia stresses that it was not responsible for the explosives. moreover,

it is offered a plan to do mine, those waterways, underlying ukrainian ships, all carrying grain are free to travel through the black sea. but kiev has apparently said no claiming that if the port city of a desert is d mind, it will undermine its security. presence. lensky blames russia for stopping the export of ukraine's grain and wheat or cap itself doesn't hide its attempts to limit it. we cannot exports away wheat, corn, vegetable oil leave, they, and other products that have or played a satellite role in the global market. these means that, unfortunately not thousands of you can't recently face a physical shortage of food, as millions of people may less, carver live, live rushes, blockades of the black sea will continue storm. all recently,

our foreign minister made a statement in which he clearly defined that the 1st priority is security. the 2nd is security, and the 3rd is security. if this issue is not resolved, if our country is not safe, no grain will go anywhere because the issue of security is number one for us. michael mallory is a former senior security policy analyst for the u. s. secretary of defense says, this is the landscape. rejection of the de mining agreement should be taken seriously in areas leading up to, particularly in the odessa area, you're going to have my, you're going to have minds which, which ukrainians laid ukrainians know where they are, or they should a, since they laid them. prognosis is. busy that a food crisis could develop, could develop, considering, particularly in certain regions of the world, probably more so in the middle east, in africa. and even though the repercussions could be felt in other parts of the

world to a lesser extent. but it is, it is beginning to be a serious problem. and the, the fact that mr. zalinski doesn't want to go along with an agreement. ah, that was reached the ah, and brokerage by turkey is indicative of something more serious to me. ah, fast protests of broken act in the pakistani capital of his lum. about falling statements by an indian ruling party spokeswoman seen to insult the prophet mohammed ah, the protest and violent when demonstrates his clash with police. as they tried to approach the indian embassy, the crowd has demanded an apology from delhi along with the expulsion of it. some

faceted to pakistan demonstrates his health flags, banners, and many were armed with witness sticks. his people on the streets had to say, if needed, we will go to the indian embassy, even if we have to sacrifice our lives. and we will tell them we're lovers of the prophet mohammed. we all muslims with full power solidarity and unity must make it clear to the world that there is a difference between freedom of expression and blasphemy. this is unacceptable by any means, a common muslim i will never tolerate a single word against the prophet mohammed. our most precious thing, our lives, money, children, are businesses, all is ready to be sacrificed. in short, i would say those who pass derogatory remarks, we will kill them. we must be a boycott indian products. this is the most effective economic hit to something that i pointed out over a dozen countries and international organizations have condemned the indian spokeswoman statements. i think kate's bangladesh were hundreds flooded into the

streets in solidarity. the spokeswoman has been suspended. an indian prime minister has condemned any insults against religious figures ah, to you k cinema chains have cancel screenings of a movie. that many was names according both blasphemous and racist. the movies called the la, if heaven. and it depicts the story of lady fatima, the daughter of the prophet, muhammad. but critics have claimed that the plot doesn't accurately portray historical events. it is underpinned with the sectarian ideology and blasphemous in nature to the muslim community. it grossly disrespects the prophet mohammed in many ways and is deeply disturbing to every muslim. now around a $120000.00 people have signed a petition against the movie and furious, missing protests all taking place outside the cinemas, chains that were screening it saying that they have not canceled the screenings to ensure the safety of staff am to customers. the british health minister such a job,

it has come up against that decision. stressing that britain has freedom of speech . you might not like what someone's got to say, but they have a right to say it. what we have in this country is freedom of speech and expression, and that is a fundamental value. we talk to journalists, ali rizza, who stressed that the west doesn't always share the same perception of some religions as those who practice them. moslems consider certain issues to be a red line. certain western states say that they're not confined by the all these red lines don't consume them. and i think, you know, such controversies are expected to continue. why the western media chooses to do this. as i said, i don't know despite the fact that they, most of them have time and again reacted strongly. i think the part of it is due to the fact that there is a difference when it comes to religion. for example,

many in the wish to believe religion to be such a sacred issue even their own religion of christianity. we have a spirit of secularism in the west and when it comes to muslims they're still very much attached to their religion. it turns out x u. s. president barack obama proved a statement by american intelligence in 2016 that accused russia of stealing emails from the democratic national committee. now, despite the fact that his government still has failed to obtain any evidence to show that on his way to blessings reports, the trial of michael sussman didn't just leave doing not guilty verdict for the former dnc attorney. it's also giving new insight into the obama administration handling of russia gate from the very beginning. it all started back in august 2016 with the cyber security company crowds stripe gave the f. b. i heavily redacted

documents which they claim proved to russia hack the servers of the d n. c. the api. i then spent the next few weeks trying to verify the company's claim and emails that were made public in the sussman case show that in september they were actively searching for the full version of the crowd strike report. then came october 7th, 2016 when the u. s. intelligence community released this statement in which they claim they were confident that russia was behind the notorious dmc. the u. s. intelligence community is confident that the russian government directed the recent compromises of emails from us, persons and institutions, including from us political organizations. the recent disclosures of alleged hacked emails are consistent with the methods and motivations of russian directed efforts . these thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the u. s. selection process. given the confidence the obama administration express, one would think that they had obtained prove the claims made by contract. so then

one of the emails from october, 13th, 6 days after that statement was made, show the crown strike still has not handed over the evidence. they claim to ha, our team is in the process of gathering this data now, and we'll just need to know where the f b. i would like this data to be sent. it's also notable the statement from the intelligence community wasn't a mistake or the work of a single agent. as former d h s. secretary j. johnson testified before congress in 2017. the statement was made at the direction of president obama himself. the president approved the statement. i know he wanted us to make the statement. so that was very definitely a statement by the united states government, not just jim corporate me. and for the assumption that crowds sure i was a reliable company that could back up the claims that made to the f b. i. well, the company is our president admitted to congress that his firm never had any proof in the 1st place. we did not have concrete evidence that the data was ex,

will treated, moved electronically from the d, n. c. but we have indicators that it was x full treated. there are times when we can see data actual treated and we can say, conclusively, but in this case, it appears it was set up to be actual treated. but we just don't have the evidence that says it actually left. there's not evidence that they were actually expert treated. there is circumstantial evidence, but no evidence that they were actually expert treated just by the major revelations from the sussman trial in its implications for the entire u. s. and tell is, community continues to receive personally know media coverage. you're in the u. s. as the political leaders, you are responsible. continue to walk free in washington. rachel blevins, r c. thanks very much for joining us. i'm sorry. even see, do you head over to r t dot com and check out the stories there and have your say as well. a lot of stories. ah,

because of the conflict in ukraine, europe and russia are going there different ways and like a divorce, separation is full of anguish and finger pointing. the biggest loser of all in this, of course, is, europe. washington couldn't be more please. it's a gemini, is being sealed when alex showed seemed wrong. when all proofs just don't hold any, you have to flip out. disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. to day i'm authorizing the additional strong sanction foreign companies quitting russia, dumb design soon. thank you. las glycine so hm. atm,

cause of blantan banks disconnected from the international payment system. dysfunctional move hoppey. jermel lewis donna and euro exchange rates followed minneapolis sellable up our nickel morsbow. so carbon would know what of what the committee met that he woke up the pilgrim. this then is the current. can you say it was all so she material will cover almost volume and russian business overcome this song. see, near i bought it to the nazi to huddle. she instrument. she tells me. don't press voice bullshit. nash, a productive notches, steel dash amenable. what i see that but themselves when you come, when you look at them, if you're doing for player one, they've already got annual in your mind for the student, but i, she's appraisal id close loop. i know post to the cost to get the group when you on yes pinion with dr. numbness. listen, go to the school. so for her to lose with little doubleclick. lucille impervious. and with i let me come with shadeen and i

shall have you are welcome to a new edition of nas meeker, coming to you from the syrian capital damascus. it was an interview with syrian president bashar assad shot at sir president. welcome to r t and thank you for receiving us at fever. show chron, honestly buffeting on the vehicle. i know you are welcome in damascus, syria, if you do so. thank you very much, a start mister. look, there are several reasons. first, russia is, syria is allied with and russia is facing a war which in my view is not linked to the expansion of nato. as some people may think, this animosity has existed even before communism and the 1st world war. yes, it is an ongoing war and russia plays an important role to ensure an international equilibrium exists. so we can view russia from 2 perspectives. so the 1st is that of an al auto, if our ally triumphs in the battle, or if they're political position is strengthened on the international arena, then this is a win for us also from a 2nd perspective. russia's power today constitutes a restoration. al, by partial of an international equilibrium. this rebalance that we are witnessing

will impact smaller countries, including syria. this is my strategic view that the bottom line without going into other legal aspects. russian officials say that it is a battle for a new world order. mister president, do you see this as the final throes of american hedge money, or are we still far away from multiple or world glazes, the weed that on there are those who refer to this war as the end of the unipolar system that was created as a result of the collapse of the soviet union. all this is an accurate, it is partially correct if we are referring to nato after the disappearance of the warsaw pact. or if we view it from a political perspective and the dominance of western powers.
