one of the the the, the leaders of you state germany, it's lee from sun romania, expressed support for ukraine bid to join the block. a pledge made a visit to kiev to supply more weapons for the conflict. our goods or rules. that's the message from god, from c o, the st. petersburg international economic forum days. the western dominated economic system is undergoing drastic changes on the us dollar is weakening. big oil pushes back against joe biden's request for the industry to ramp up us

production of the commodities. the 8th in the evening here in moscow this thursday. let's get straight into our stories and what's been a busy new say. the leaders of france, germany, italy, and romania back immediate candidate status for ukraine's bed to join the e. u. s. they met in kiev with ukraine's presidential and scheme. the cortez made the trip as sizable divisions emerge within the european union over support for ukraine and its demands in the conflict. the french, german on italian leaders travel to keep by train with raid sirens in the city sounding shortly after their arrival. before the meeting, they made their way directed to the server of or a pin, which key of accused russian forces have tried to use as a base for seizing the capital. the 3 had previously been criticized by ukrainian

authorities for not providing you with this scale of weaponry. it's been demanding on for no visit in the country sooner. however, during a press conference to day, the european leaders spoke about their immense support for ukraine, including additional lethal aid. the false, the people mutual, france has been alongside ukraine since day one. we stand with the ukrainians without ambiguity on ukraine must resist and when it wally killed, grain, italy wants to crane to be a candidate for the european union. right. of tape hold. it's next meeting. ukraine deserves candidacy because it's fighting for freedom and democracy, the landscape. grandma wanted, i'm going to kreme belongs in the european family and warranty. we're supporting ukraine with the deliveries of weapons. we will keep doing that for as long as it is needed from kolinski already know what back on dry he and shells. why? because they keep saying it, and that is for the war to answer to houston, even as they live service to more prices weapons which have an odd now for getting

caught up and stuck in european red tape, slowing delivery. so what can we actually deduce from this visit in q, french president and my colon e, conference of the 3 leaders are doing every day so that ukraine alone and decided state while italian prime minister mario druggie said that their main message in zalinski was that they want to see you. crane as part of the european union, france, germany, italy, romania, have all now called to mediately grad ukraine, e u. member. candidate status become a whole member of the could take years 15 to 20 years as a black holes minister of european affairs came on. bonham has said now no realistically thinks that this is going to be a quick cross us. no country with foreign trained, neo nazi spoke with into its army or who have any kind of political influence in the country as they do it, you branch is going to be given to use rubber staff. nor is

a country who is leader demands debbie weapons. every time he shows up on as in call, but daily, cherish of you membership in front of zalinski, you frankly, is a loose cannon right now. let's face it is one way to get him under control. and to get him to the negotiating table on the use terms, the notion of you can see which zalinski has suggested desperately wants free crime gets the leverage all are being able to maintain that ukraine alone is deciding its face as michael said. and he gives zalinski a face saving reason to seek an answer. the conflict. the european union considers whether to foss, truck ukraine into becoming a member of the block, moscow's a, you and buster essays. he's skeptical about whether that will actually happen either. oh, you'll, nor i will live long enough to see you grain out as a member of the european union. nobody's talking about membership at this point.

the point of discussion is the candidate status, which immediately has raised oh, different views and control versus i believe that russia and europe in the sense of the european union, will always be neighbors. and are doomed to be partners in one way or another or in the words of angular medical to for me in german, chancellor that we share the sense of the same land mass together. it's much more than land mass. we share our common history with all its ups and downs. ah, we share a lot of other things and those agree a deal of conflict ability in the economic love. mir cheese off was speaking to us on the sidelines of the st. petersburg

international economic forum, the premier showcase of the countries investment potential. the annual event currently in its 2nd day of 4 is being held this year under the slogan, new world, a new opportunities. ah yeah, a lot of interesting news lines. one of them at the, for him, during his speech, her, the head of russian gauss export a gallon from said the world's western dominated economic system has been undergoing drastic changes with the u. s. dollar weakening. well, gelati mccook, the bretton woods system, 2 point oh is simply a paradigm that says our currency, our rules. they tell you how you can use their currency, what you are allowed and not allowed to do. and the west makes the laws. but we're seeing the dollar lose, it's a gemini, as payments in other national currencies or on the rise. and finally,

the paradigm itself is changing. the priority is being given to another formula, goods, money, goods, we sell gas, then we extracted our goods, our rules. one of the most awaited discussions during the day 2 of the forum was the one related to the oil and gas sector. we were listening to, to speakers whose words could literally change the sums on your gas and electricity bills. that is the ceo of gas from and also rushes deputy prime minister in charge of the energy sector. after a number of e country switched to roubles when paying for russian gas. the head of gas prom proudly stressed how he believed the days of the bretton woods system were coming to an end. and also pointed out how the dollar was losing its weight as the global reserve currency. another important aspect, russia has always been in favor of more predictable gas trade. for years,

moscow has been insisting on the long term supply contracts. now though, the ceo of gas from is saying europe is suffering from empty gas stored sides and soaring prices because it kept refusing to sign long term deals. this policy is something that russia warned against for a very long time that we took coaching settlers. krishna, europe has abandoned long term contracts. that means that for those long term contracts that have not been concluded or extended capacities have not been created as a result. spot markets are a liquid, we warned europe about the consequences we were asked to build nord stream to. we built it, but it was not certified. it's for him. his name now gas problem made headlines earlier this week. when it cut it's gas supplies to the you through the north stream pipeline, down by 40 percent, this immediately led to

a spike and gas prices. now guess why that happened to cut the long story short? the seamans compressor units were sent for repairs to canada. but they couldn't be sent back because of canada's own sanctions against russia. so this was another example given by gas from ceo a like say, miller, he's stressed how the western countries were shooting themselves in the foot by slapping russia with sanctions. the 2nd speaker alexander nova crushes deputy prime minister, also sent out an important message to the west. he said that in the near future, the current turbulent all market will depend on how crude supply chains will be modified. mr. nova said that russia will definitely act fast to build the required infrastructure for extended exports of russian oil to consumers in the

east. and this is russia's answer to the current situation. i also want to assure this, with you, the deputy head of russia's energy ministry says the e u appears to be losing sight of the needs of its people. during the past few months, we've been experiencing the completely distorted energy market, which has been, was handmade. you know, it was not a natural, it's not a natural state of the market when some countries try to limit the freedom of others to trade. and besides, you know, the losing side from this is the consumer. so ultimately, the european union is the biggest loser because united states has it, has a fairly developed oil market while you know, r y, o european union is an important in any such measures. they ultimately lead to distortion and inefficiency in the global energy market on the midterm. and in the long term there is a shortage of energy. and so basically we need to be reasonable suppliers. we need to be responsible suppliers, which we are. so we're going to supply what we're going to supply to those

countries which are ready to work on market terms without all these artificial instruments and all these artificial crutches which are being put in place by somebody's dishes. despite a boy called from a number of western officials on businessmen foreign guests from more than a 100 countries are in attendance at the forum seeking to clench lucrative contracts. some ob, already achieve that goal with hundreds of millions of dollars in deals, signed off on the days 1st. r t also got the chance to speak with russia's foreign ministry spokesperson there. maria is a hot of a who say the u. s. isn't concerned that the sanctions against russia hurting e u. economies as a reduces competition with allison is up of them, isn't that is to me. yesterday you spoke with western journalists, there was even the little dispute. how difficult is it to talk with them? the minutes go out, it will nap, salazar, i did not go or it's absolutely the same if you stay strong in your positions than

it's possible to change that we have our position and it's unchanged. it has its own values and meaning and is based on facts and reality. that's why western journalists are worried and i'm not, i know my task and understand what my personal beliefs are. of course, the intensity of our work has increased because so much fake news has emerged. but this is more of a problem for the west for its liberal society because they are filling themselves with so much dis information, that they're simply losing their audience. they are eroding even the little trust their audience has for traditional media. they're hiding so much in the reports that people will soon simply start to disconnect from reality. why in doug than i was a brief when western journalists come to your briefings, they continually make accusations about russia void and international law. there's a sensation that they're trying to get some kind of confession from you. are there any mistakes in the military operation that official russian representatives can

admit to see it? what besides one might say, since the island is not no brow, i'm going to wire. national justice system stipulates equality of all before the law. if someone considers themselves above the loss but chooses to remain within the system than the system doesn't work. when i hear americans shouting about russia or making accusations about not observing international law, i have a question for them about whether america is observing international law and to what extent they are actually interested in preserving international law and how much they have undertaken efforts to destroy the international justice system, every government can have its own views on international processes. and russia recognizes their right to their own policies and views. but they are not letting us do the same. they are rejecting our national policy is to preserve our national interests. these are sovereign domestic and foreign policies conducted in accordance with international law. i believe the time has come for us to stop

having to continually justify ourselves and to simply present our grievances against their liberal system. which has led the world to the brink of a global collapse by unilaterally imposing sanctions that reflect upon themselves and impact other regions in the world by supplying weapons to a country. that for many years has been killing its own citizens and has done everything to destroy international law. we have responded to the sanctions, very pragmatically, and the situation has turned out in our favor. i am confident that the us previously considered the consequences of the sanctions for that you and figured that their permissible opinion. it's actually in the interest of the u. s. to restrict the capabilities of the young because the u. s. doesn't want any competitors. so hitting russia and letting that ricochet back at the e u as ideally within the u. s. plans so. so he's got the bull sheila's. how's that? western journalists can interview you at your briefings, but i'll see can do the same thing with other officials abroad because both of them

all with our capital self, my sickness. while this is an issue of free speech, you the west is refusing to allow us to question them even going as far as to block our t as a media outlet in our country. the situation is quite the opposite. we're open to any media, but when our sanctions opposed against us, they are giving us accreditation. they're not giving us visas and we're imposing sanctions in response. but what that, what, what that means is we read them both of us. can we see how much pressure washington is trying to put in other countries and how it's trying to force them not to engage with russia? do you somehow feel this from your own colleagues, pocketbook? we apply his, bring my po. no. well, they understand that their own countries are the one suffering they suffer from the policies of their own governments which obey the will of washington and aren't allowed to sell goods to us or jointly produce split the day. and we need well, from $1000000.00 deals to chance meetings on the sidelines. we'll make sure you

don't miss the moments that mater out the st. petersburg international economic for him all week long. ah. okay, another story to bring you to day with us inflation of its highest rate in decades, joe biden has found himself squabbling with american oil companies. the u. s. president has called for them to ramp up production. true resolve the country's energy crisis, but the industries response wasn't exactly what the white us wanted to hear. while we appreciate the opportunity to open increased dialogue with the white house, the administration's misguided policy agenda, shifting away from domestic oil and natural gas, has compounded inflationary pressures. and added headwinds to companies daily efforts to meet growing energy needs while reducing emissions. longer term

government can promote investment through clear and consistent policy that supports us resource development, such as regular and predictable. lee sales, as well as streamlined regulatory approval and support for infrastructure such as pipelines, left cross lab, not so r t corresponding kill him up in a new york. caleb, you asked oil companies clearly not overly pleased with biden's called misguided policy was one of the terms used at take us through the request. i'm indeed that reaction to it. sure. working families across america are feeling the crunch of the rising energy costs. the high gas prices, so now we have the white house coming forward with a letter directed oil companies in america, urging them to an oil production in order to drive the prices down and take the burden of the high costs off of americans that are frustrated with the rising costs here is what the white house said in their letter. the crunch that families are

facing deserves immediate action. your company's need to work with my administration to bring forward concrete, near term solutions that address the crisis and respect the critical equities of energy workers and fence line communities. at a time of war. historically high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto american families are not acceptable. now, oil companies that come forward and said the white house simply does not understand the industry and they can't simply increase the amount of output this easily. it's not a matter of simply pushing a button or, or pulling a knob that there are complex issues in arranging how much oil production is amped up or slow down. now many have also taken note of some statements made by the white house press secretary. she came forward and said that is the patriotic duty of oil companies to amp up production. this is what she said. oil companies,

they have oil refineries. they have responsibility to what they have been doing is taking advantage of the war. and as i showed earlier, they have tripled, triple their, their, their income contract, we have done our part with the strategic petroleum reserve, the one, the 1000000 a day for the next 6 months. and so we need them to act. now oil companies find these statements to be particularly ironic as the policy of the white house has been pretty clearly to phase out fossil fuels. they are taking the opportunity of the high energy costs to push electric cars and new energy vehicles and other, other mechanisms that don't use fossil fuels. they want to get rid of fossil fuel. so at the same time, the white house is actively trying to phase the states off. fossil fuels reduce the amount of fossil fuels united states use as they are now calling on oil companies in the name of patriotism to amp up oil production. and you're looking at this as

a great example of the erotic and not well thought out nature of the, by the administration policies when it comes to the energy sector. you can imagine there's a few frustrated heads in the oval office tonight. caleb, caleb, thanks very much. r t kill of my pin. china has overtaking the us of the foreign power with the biggest positive influence in africa. according to a survey among young adults on the continent, the survey was conducted among those aged 18 to 24. in a total of 16 african countries, it found that 76 percent of that grouping considered china is activity of positive for the continent. leaving 2nd place to the u. s, which had held the top spot in the survey 2 years ago. the results show chinese rising influence on the continent with investments infrastructure development projects, other affordable chinese products. this the best, the most positive contributions.

me, china is a better friends in america. i think it's china because it believes in giving and receiving better with china and tony, shutting me because i'm with china is better because it could take over the world economy in the future. i believe it's better to be closer to china than the u. s. in the current reality, it's preferable to work with china. taylor shallow me. i believe it's china. i think china can help african more in china is better because it brings its talent and know how year will the united states recently sent a letter to 14 african countries urging them to reject grain imports from russian saying the food was stolen from ukraine? that's as much of africa struggles with critical food shortage is bringing some areas to the brink of famine. the white house is found china to be an honest

country to do business with in comparison to the west, which when they arrived here, they did not even see us as human beings. but instead they plowed our mineral resources. they are the ones that bombed to heal shima. they're the ones that mark, i fact he just to test a nuclear bomb and just to protect him, lasha. so we are students of history. we understand what the intention has been. they have been everywhere in the world where there's been a lot of the sources, an image not to do business there, but to still and could come age on that people of those kind of those countries. we are saying that we are going to have relations with the russian people, whether american america loves it or not. we will not be subject to western media. would tries to paint the chinese people as a bad people who are in africa to do wrong things. because we can visibly see that

they are here to help with development. and that to be here. and they see as if equals who they can enter into business with. not the people that they can spin from moving from a neo nazi ideology to becoming some of the most beloved members in their community next to our documentary and moments healing from hate chronicles. how such a change came to be ah, i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where said shorter is it conflict with the 1st law? show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at that point obviously is too great trust,

rather than fear i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with ah ah, ah

ah. letter to you no one no sir. no, no, admiral julio luna will go more shrill than what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. a real good you know, to crush it. it gives you or sure, doug did that. they're not eligible underneath. suddenly blue shield keep on more mom. she no

longer thought this is meant new against them all. more not up on the on. i got the lamb sale. i got jumping up. i got on monday. i wish to know about joy. oh, new i know you guys are more polished enough jr. let's. i had a problem with their mother and all everybody bill could. you could help us out. oh boy, that's good to go. that is your oh and what the on this the wow she my and new on it. i'm all, i can send more on all 7 more. good. so you don't the year, you'll not at all put them out that they give us a little with 30 i spoke earlier with her. what are your thousands of people still live in small towns and villages that have become the new frontline towards that report that they

call this area the greys oh, you don't like the really only from the of course pretty me what that was on your mother. you had a door no way in was that similarly, wars from demos a show berella like north through under is oh, terry alexandro, hulu. sheila metro said she made up city of pleasure. was that with that double hit somebody with buddy leslie was there before. he boyfriend who here? scott corey. throw your favorite them with because they didn't. the global white anthony delagarza bought another music with nick warner. jim,

and like other than you should be here with you know, there was no program when i left i kind of and all of us at life, esther hate kind of stumbled our way through it. and then we can take the lessons that we've learned from that and shrink the time frame down. so there's less water, less wandering in the wilderness, so to speak. when i was in the move in the last 2 years, and before i left i was struggling with do i want to leave? i like part of me want to leave. another part has been battle with us. if i leave,

i have nothing to fall back on. i have that deposit to do. i have nobody to go to. you know, me know, because as i lived around the last 7 years i have nothing and sometimes it's hard if they've got a swastika tattooed on their neck. it's hard for them. but just to say, i don't do that anymore. it's kind of a long process. it's not like you just leave it one day and you're like, well, i'm glad that's over. i had been out of the movement before i got connected with these guys, but i was on my own and didn't talk about it and had a lot of buried shame and guilt. and then i met these guys and i saw, you know, frankly talking arnold dog, it helped me get past that barrier of feeling i had to hide this from world that opening up has really just take my, my healing process and my evolution to a whole other level really, you've got to find a way to find an affirmation that every discussion, no matter how bad it feels that it's going, you've just got to be able to. now it's like takes guts to do that. trying to help them discover the abilities that they have. this is why we don't want to foster

dependency. this is why the intervention can't rely on my car is more. they go from being untrusting, hateful, spiteful, distant to begging for more interaction. another phone call. another meeting, you know, tell me poor and don't be surprised when they say that's the best conversation i've had in a long time. that is something that's very routine that comes out of people just want to be listened to. and we're trying to teach you how to listen to them. well, we hold a mirror up so the person can see their humanity reflected back at them through our eyes. but when we treat them as human beings treat them.
