a with with the e, u pores, another 500000000 euros into cubes. army, despite struggling to fix its own budget, amid the economic backlash of it's essentially against russia. meanwhile, the u. s. wants a price cap on russian oil supplies as washington looked to declare a climate emergency which could further cut supplies of the commodity and to drive up costs around the world. fossil this, our ukranian troops have resumed intense shelling of the republic in a desperate attempt to reclaim the territory that tiers army recently lost to russian lead forces. and sri lanka is newly elected. the president says that he will take action against anyone threatening him or his top officials as mass

protests. persist in the south asian country, devastated by a spiraling economic crisis with broadcasting lines direct from our studios in moscow. this is our international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to see you. now ortiz don quarter, and if you're isabel later discussed the political issues, specifically in dealing with a lab. rob's interview, but now we talk about what's happening in ukraine to support cubes, war efforts, that's according to the box foreign policy chief, joseph burrell. and while the u. blows a hole in its budget, it's also struggling with economic backlash from its own sanctions against russia or cheese. rachel marson explains the european union supranational nanny state is

always looking to keep you safe, usually amid a mess that they've helped to create. it certainly has the convenient effect of helping to justify the existence of big salaries of brussels officials as they rush in and pretend to put out fires that they started. and now they're patting themselves on back for the fact that they're doing a collective purchase of weapons. it's the 1st time in the use existence that it's blown a hole in its budget of 500000000 euros. so that member nations can replace the weapons that they send to ukraine, but at least these you countries didn't give away all of their clothes and aren't now walking around completely naked from a security and defense standpoint. right? for you? sure stroke or much other than you states have drawn on their stockpiles of light or even heavy artillery, ammunition, obviously anti aircraft or anti tank defense systems or even armored vehicles in tanks. so this obviously creates

a de facto vulnerability that now needs to be addressed urgently. does all mean? well, that you may be short on weapons right now, but at least it still has food. right? well, according to a draft you document, brussels is also planning to ease its own sanctions against russian banks to alleviate shortages of food and fertilizer, from which the e. u hasn't been spared. back in june, washington had been discreetly encouraging american companies to buy up russian fertilizer with u. s. officials telling bloomberg that they were surprised by the extent of the caution exercised by companies amid western sanctions. meanwhile, the international monetary fund is wording this week of potentially severe consequences of the use gas sanctions on its own economy. the prospect of an unprecedented total shut off is fueling concern about gas shortage is still higher prices and economic impacts. while policy makers are moving swiftly, they lack a blueprint, manage and minimize impact. but even the most dire assessment from this top western

global financial watchdog is doing little to deter some die hard idealogues. so therefore you have to pay, pay for the support, pay you for room and out an aid paper or the consequences of the comic sanctions. so you should stop complaining and step up abroad. support. postal full stop is exactly what the eas economy and self defense prospects are going to come to. if folks like stilton berg, don't wake up and give their head a shake. amid double digit inflation and european weapons going out the door to ukraine, faster than they can come in. western establishment leads have created military food and economic vulnerabilities and their reckless race to see who could virtue signal the best for ukraine or a before we move on in the show, i want to apologize for a little bit of what happened earlier. this is live television, sometimes we have technical issues, but we move to past them. they've moved on. and now let's go on with the rest of

our show. now, former german parliament member valdemar heard says that the you cast blame on russia to avoid assuming responsibility for its own problems. human to design, someone has to be guilty. and that's a deceitful thing about politics. this price inflation was set in motion long before the conflict with all the coven measures and so on. but these officials have also understood that at some point, they will be called to account. and then a culprit must be found and only russia fits the bill of the culprit right now. no matter who says what the mainstream media will always pass on the narrative to the people that it's all russia's fault that's just to deflect, blame away from themselves. this is the old tried and tested tool of diplomacy, all of germany's industry and the prosperity of its citizens have been built for decades on low prices for russian gas doing without that now would collapse the entire system prosperity is already on the decline. we're already planning common

housing, where we can put our pensioners or those who can't pay for their own flats to be heated. can you imagine what we're doing now with our own industry? the us treasury expects western countries to agree on a limit for prices of russian oil supplies by the end of this year. but moscow has charged back saying that it won't provide the commodity to the global market. if the production costs are higher than the selling price, if these price is being discussed are lower than the production costs, russia will not insure the supply of this oil to the world market. we will not work at a loss. that's as us president joe biden has been preparing to declare a national climate emergency which would further cut energy supplies to the already shortage stricken e u. u. s. journalist, manila, chad x points. speaking outside of a former coal plant, turned wind power project over in somerset massachusetts. u. s. president joe biden called climate change,

a code read for humanity. he promised to take executive action to combat the climate crisis, but has so far stopped short of saying that he would declare this. a state of emergency climate change is emerge. and the coming weeks i'm going to use the power i have is prison. to turn these words in a formal official governor to the appropriate proclamations, executive board and regulatory, our little a, although many of his allies in congress are urging him to do so. because this would unlock dozens of presidential powers available to him to take sweeping at real meaningful action to help get the, the u. s. to net 0, carbon emissions by the year 2030. now those powers would include things like halting the 2015 obama era crude oil exports b. u. s. up until 2015 for many decades did not export crude. obama

reversed all of that by declaring a national emergency bite and could also put a stop to offshore drilling and force manufacturers to ramp up production on electric vehicles and other green energy related products. now this is all coming as congressional talks fell apart, after joe manchin, the democrat senator from west virginia is refusing to vote along party lines. the senate is split 5050 right now and his vote is greatly needed for budget reconciliation and a very untimely explosion that shuddered. a liquid nat gas plant in texas, the free port ellen g plant accounts for a whopping 20 percent of the u. s. l n. g processing and 70 percent of that goes to europe and great britain. now that catastrophe has resulted in about a 1000000 tons of last l. n g for euro. but it's the issue of us crude

exports, that's garnering joe biden. a lot of criticism on the international level, that's because america, as you allies are facing stiff energy shortfalls and was relying on those us exports to help them move away from russian crude or russia. natural gas dependency now bite has been criticized as not a good friend to europeans as the threat of a cut off of american crude looms, as biden begins to yield to activists here state side. meanwhile, the has been bracing for a winter without russian gas, as the block has revealed a scheme to decrease its gas used by 15 percent until the following spring. it has been trying to focus on nuclear and coal power to give up on russian energy supplies amid soaring prices. we have made a decision. we're preparing for the winter without rushing gas in order to get

through this winter and possibly next winter. the states can extend the operation of their nuclear power plants or coal plants. not all the blocks member states are happy with the plan. spain has expressed disapproval condemning the proposal as a disproportionate sacrifice. the flow of russian gas to europe has already been cut as a crucial turbine for the north stream. pipeline will, will still needs to be installed. the part was repaired in canada, but it's shipment back to germany for the pipeline was until recently held up by sanctions. and the gas deficit is also being exacerbated by the pipeline undergoing scheduled maintenance work. but there is still no sign of that turbine being returned according to russia's gas export company gas prom. despite earlier request to date, gas prom has not received official documents from siemens that allow it to supply a gas turbine engine for the porto via compressor station. under the sanctions, restrictions of canada and the you in dependent journalist luc renee says that you

cannot function without russia gas, or at least at the next 5 years. that's an estimated minimum amount of time for the block to read just to alternative energy sources. going to be really tough that we absolutely need russian gas for the next 5 years. that's the situation for oil. we could go by buying oil elsewhere, but for gas, we can't, because everybody is producing get maximum. and if you need to invest, you know, in the producing countries, if you need to install that and g terminals, if you need to produce to, to build ships, hundreds of new ships, it will take 5 to 7 years. so let's say 4 years. strict minimal to replace partly russian gas. so we have a big problem this winter and there are details, of course, which we're not explain it to go on that make it even trickier. you know, unit per is the largest guess supplier and stock stocking company in

europe. it's german and it's nearly bankrupt now. why? because they, they usually buy gas in the summer when it's cheap and they sell it from their stocks in the winter when the countries in europe need it. but now it's the country prices are very high now and maybe next winter will be a little lower. anyway, it will be the same and so they don't make any money any more. now to the latest in the war, in ukraine, kids army has reportedly attacked a russian, munitions depot in the southern sheriffs, on region currently under the control of russian lead forces. local media outlets have said that there was a huge explosion after the strike. meanwhile, in the don boss, the ukrainian army has continued to shell civilian infrastructure, striking a residential area in the city of done yet several apartments have completely burned as a result of the attack we spoke with

a witness of the shelley. what should alicia listed yearly with yesterday? we went out the 3 of us were sitting here on the street and suddenly they started shelling. we jumped back into the entrance and looked out. there was a fire burning with thick smoke billowing out fire fighters came and began to put out the blaze. but it took them a very long time. about 3 weeks ago, apartments in this building completely burned on the 5th and 6th floors. can you imagine our lives are being ruined because of this? no one knows when this will, and it's really frightening. this is the 2nd war i'm living through here with that and in the neighboring lugens republic, the ukrainian army has so far, failed in attempts to reclaim territory recently lost to russian lead forces, as it resumes its showing of the front lines, cities arches. what are garcia reports on location. across the dom bus, russian arman troops criss, crossed the roads leading to and from the front lines. helicopters and attack

aircraft weez endlessly overhead, sometimes with a wave for the troops below. ah. with changes to tactics and objectives, the makeup of forces here is ever in flux, units are rotated, the in them to out arrest than rearmament, specialized equipment and the alba on. so the cool when and where they needed. very close. i would say to the front lines, and we've again found that bmt terminator, but of russia's latest machines on the front lines. we've been asked by the crew not to show where this is not a give jail location to, to potential adversaries as the ukrainian side. for these set or something of a hub for these vehicles in their cruise. for the purposes of propaganda,

the terminator specializes in protecting tanks by suppressing anti aba capabilities and harassing enemy infantry. it has proved its worth. have we find ourselves again in bella got up after a series of failed counter attacks against it? ukrainian forces have been blindly shelling the town. it has served no purpose, other than angering the local population, who weren't fans of ki, of in the 1st place. likely milan, but we're still a calendar. is really what each school year i got a meeting that i thought my laundry, she can someone around that on his vice book window like can. yup, stella enough. so what says lucy casually hate this particular flag? the hammer and sickle is older than most of us made has been with valentina since

the 1970s. it has become a symbol for pro russian ukrainians. not because they support who want to return of communism. but because it is their heritage and because ukrainian nationalists despise it, would that, that, that the for luck at this, at the most readily movers. we're actually, we're actually excited. i'm saying i'm saying e i knew enough that answers i would say he feel really valiant at his eye glass in his large ravenel, if you're on your last liability check, stuart he, me at home, but he knew as little as you hit, aaliyah will read yet the only antique good for awhile, valentina and tanya, our sisters, when they have passed these flag on 2 russian soldiers here, who are a 3rd of their age to carry the flag onwards. valentina has worked as a school teacher for half a said tree,

and she is convinced that what kiev did to her community will be avenged on years. it's catching up with young's to definitely have kapco voice if school and out of ali as miracles, jesus. and we're like, yes, like ideally, would you put out any, anybody, some rattler, federally. i really thought alan mercer to students with it so thin. my india did them with with ease of was that he got you to watch. and so i think might give some i'm, he's an adult family, he narrow rateable neurons only at that moment. and can you didn't you upfront for 18 years. smith, can you navigate snafus adolescent just missed school or you thought him talking, living with valentino flag. he is now a bachelor of the 80th gods tank regiment. recently decorated in all it by putin

himself, but bravery and heroism. they have promised that this flag will fly wherever these conflict takes them more i'd gaz. do you have tea from the gods? people's republic. john kirby, the spokesman for the white house is national security council, has claimed that russian president vladimir putin, this recent trip to iran, showed that moscow is isolated over the conflict and ukraine. i would say 3 things about this trip. one, it shows the degree to which mr. brewton and russia are increasingly isolated. now they have to turn to iran for help to. it shows the degree to which his own defense, industrial base is having a hard time keeping up with his unprovoked war in ukraine. and then the 3rd thing i think this indicates is the degree which he has absolutely no intention of stopping the war and sitting down in good faith and negotiated settlement with mister

zalinski. the establishment western media immediately parroted the white house is a statement saying the trip showed iran and russia becoming closer because they are essentially isolated from europe. that's after us president joe biden's own trip to the middle east was widely seen as an overall failure, with no significant agreement reached political analyst and researcher christopher holly. holly says that the pay ron meeting was an historic $1.00 as us fear, as a new world order without dollar dominance. this was a historic meeting, and i think that the united states, of course, is lamenting that russia is alone. and russia has to turn to iran. russia has had a robust relations diplomatic relations with iran in the time of really the last days of the soviet union. and i, and we see now that the russia has now increased the overall relations with iran. they've expanded them. what washington fears is the end of us dollar had gemini and

the beginning of a new world order. this is once again, a relation by the us administration of its overall imperial aims in the region. they've completely destroyed the middle east. nobody wants the u. s. there are russia, for example, as supports and defends the sovereignty of the nation. it defends the people against the imperial aggression. whereas the u. s. does regime change all over the region. it's intolerable. and so it reveals, once again, like both, instead, it reveals the machinations of the empire. and that's what so dangerous. the pulitzer prize board has refused to resend the awards. it presented to the new york times, and the washington post for the reporting on russia gate. that's despite a blatant lack of evidence on whether russia interfered in the 2016 us presidential election. ortiz kill them up in comments. says independent media exist in the united states. that's a question we keep coming back to. the pulitzer prize board has come out in their

own defense, speaking up and saying they were right to give a prize to the washington post. and the new york times for reporting a story that wasn't actually true. the long ago debunked russia gate hoax, donald trump demanded they review this award after the allegations against him failed to hold any water. these inquires prompted the pulitzer board to commission 2 independent reviews of the work submitted by those organizations to our national reporting competition. both reviews were conducted by individuals with no connection to the institutions whose work was under examination, nor any connection to each other. the separate reviews converged in their conclusions that no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerge subsequent to the confirm of the prizes. no facts were on. well, our review came up with some pretty different conclusions. here are some facts that were indeed discredited. let's start with this phone records and intercepted call

show that members of donald j. trump 2016 presidential campaign and other trump associates had repeated contacts with senior russian intelligence officials in the year before the election according to for current and former american officials. this was debunked by james comi, then f b i, director and his testimony before congress. he concluded that this wasn't true. now he's no fan of donald trump and the f. b i. agent who opened the probe also agreed we are unaware of any trumps advise his engaging in conversations with russian intelligence officials at washington post reported that general michael flynn was acting as national security advisor. met with the russian ambassador and promised the russian ambassador that when trump came into office, the obama heiress sanctions would be lifted while the transcripts of michael plans . conversations with the ambassador over the phone came out. and there was only one mention of sanctions. one of the problems him on the measures that have been

announced today is that now f s b in grew a sanctions a sanction. and i asked myself, does it mean that the united states isn't willing to work on terrorist threats? yeah, yeah. now this is just the tip of the iceberg. these prize winning stories had facts way off. why is the pulitzer board standing by them 3 years ago? the muller probe came up with a big fat. nothing burger. in addition to that, it's now been proven that hillary clinton approved the spreading of fake news about russia. gate for political reasons. pulitzer board had an opportunity to save its credibility by withdrawing and award for those who reported these stories that were not actually accurate. however, they failed to do so, it looks like mainstream liberal media just wants to tell the democratic party line 2 of the 3 most influential papers, at least historically the new york times. and the washington post are virtually democratic party, broad sheets, and the new section of the wall street journal liens in the same direction. nearly

all television network and cable is a democratic party trumpet. the pulitzer board will not even release a public version of its review. and show how exactly they came up with the conclusion. that story is full of factual errors. we're still award winning journalism. this comes as trust from mainstream media among the u. s. public is thinking new polls indicate that only 16 percent of the u. s. public trust the newspapers and only 11 percent trust the tv news with awards being given out for fake news stories like this. that's hardly surprising. caleb martin, r t new york, an attorney and the conservative activist ed martin says the pulitzer prize has lost its credibility because it focuses on reinforcing the democratic parties agenda polish your board. they say they undertook an investigation, but no one believes it. i mean, look they've, they, they gave those awards back at

a time where the publisher was trying to reinforce the message that the new york times and the washington post and the, and the left democrats wanted to do. we know it was all a lie. so i, the polar church either have to admit that it was a lie and they have to say, oh, we made a mistake, we were lie to or they have to continue the lie. and so they decided to continue the lives. so the poets your board has made it so the poet, your prize has 0 credibility, your time to the wash post. they're just the voice of the left and the democrats. and they are not telling the truth. ringback a lot of the time when the media lies and is caught over and over again, the public isn't going to trust them. it's one of the reasons why. the great moment we're in is we have the ability to look for other voices. we can look through social media, we can look through other outlets to find voices. we trust because we can't trust the media. they lied to us too frequently. ah, sure. long as

a new president appointed in a secret ballot conducted by parliament has vowed to take action if anyone attempts to overthrow his government as mass protest continue to rock of the crisis stricken country. he says that he will deal with any attempted pro makers firmly and in accordance with the law. i have created that for you can order in vitamin call, but it will resolve the problems. are these country or doors you'll see to describe that might then be dealt with the law might the law? meanwhile, widespread protests have persisted in the impoverished south asian country, devastated by a spiraling economic crisis as masses of people gathered in front of the presidential office to express their outrage at the former prime minister, now being appointed as head of state calling for him to resign. or to correspondence? runjun sharma, reports on location. oh we said moscow long got

a thing. and now the big question about number b, boy o c lanka, accept him up. and the simple answer is no wonder when we started when we were all part of it. i didn't started hundreds and thousands of long guns collectively said enough is enough. so i know technically has a constitutional process. but we believe that who doesn't, i said, is it now run into somebody who is seen as an ally or the roger buckshot. but remember when google by roger fuck shot fled the country, he made randall as an acting president of the country, is also the prime minister, the palmer dynamics. now once again with the roger buckshot, this is something that is going to anger the protesters. they don't have any faith in the roger buckshot is what the predictor see in the days to come. the protest on

the ground could amplified mostly longer would ready is grappling tool shortage of fuel shortage of follow a shortage of food as well as medicines. and now there is a new problem at hand, which is a humanitarian and no one on the crisis, which only seems to be intensify in the country. that does it for me this hour in about 32 minutes. i'll be back with another full infection. can you stay with us or to international what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk

more when i was showing wrong, when i just don't hold any world that you have to feed out disdain. because the advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. aah, ukraine. a big and rich country that's always been hand in hand with russia. until recently. 2014,

a qu divides ukraine and leads to fratricidal warren done. thus. a war that continues to this day on the edge of a large field near lo, ganske, the mass grave. local say that the people buried here are mostly civilians who are allegedly killed by ukrainian paramilitary groups in the summer of 2014. who does this noted on mr. alcorda, but did not batista musically would be the when the british go, what's don't cry said things of us. i can inform you not to answer.
