a, a with boundaries. foreign minister says budapest wants to buy more russian gas and won't get through the wind. so without it is the struggles with the repercussions of it. unseen russian sanctions, africa criticizes europe's u. turn calls to increase energy supplies in an attempt to replace russian commodities. that's after years of setbacks over fossil fuel development projects across the continent as part of the solar green agenda. a new bill that will decide both to rico's future with the u. s. is making its way through congress. the country is set to choose between becoming

a us state independence. all free association states is also coming up. it's not only ukrainian army that they're fighting against as positions very close to a year. full of foreign mercenaries, as well as the crew joins russian lead forces on the done yet for the line where the army is now targeting ukrainian military positions here is using to show the neighboring city of danielle with friday morning in moscow. mine is peter scott and welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis. you know, not well, some european officials continue to blame russia for the domestic issues. hungary is foreign minister has come to moscow to secure a new deal to buy russian. gus, saying it's impossible to find alternative sources of fuel for the coming winter.

little so side boil side of muzzle, whether we like it or not and whether we want it or not. now it is impossible to purchase an additional 700000000 cubic meters of gas without russian energy sources . we can dream, we can blow balloons, but reality remains reality. the reason here in the russian capital came the same day europe approving you, package of economic sanctions against russia this time and if your resources were not affected, but previous restrictions already led to real energy crises in europe, that is dramatically dependent on russia's energy supplies, hungary top diplomat said the europe can dream, but it will not be able to survive winter without russia, and it will not be able to buy additional unnecessary, 700000000 cubic meters of gas. without moscow. he said that only 13 percent of what's needed is now pumped in storage is in europe, the number is almost twice as bigger for hungary,

but still it is far from enough to guarantee energy security, which is alarming. given that the winter is coming in a so lover of said that brussels anti russia rhetoric is to blame for european sufferings, delineation was re 2 months. the further development of our corporation is of course prevented by the outright was a fabric policy pursued by washington and brussels. this means and unrestrained buildup of sanctions without a sound analysis of the consequences for the very countries imposing back to this, there is a struggle within european bureaucracy which wants to subjugate everything to everyone, including national governments and wants to dictate conditions and stifle any descent. ukraine was another topic on the agenda, the hungarian foreign minister said that war is bad and that budapest wishes and one's peace for its neighbour ukraine as soon as possible. and he called on everybody to do everything that is possible to promote peace talks ceasefire to

make this bloodshed and as soon as possible, mister law reminded that the crisis didn't start this february. and he talked about the pa, chrissy from european side that turned a blind eye to bloody who to tar. that happened in 2 years back in 2014, but is in hysteria right now. there is hysteria over the fact that in ukraine, so all conceivable norms of international and humanitarian law are being violated and the people are dying and it's true that people are dying. so what we need to phase the truth and not brush aside the facts. so tell us that people are dying from indiscriminate showing by the armed forces, a nationalist talents of ukraine, of peaceful areas of dumbasses and other areas on the minister love. rock also said that moscow hopes that russia's western partners, we want to spend soon, that it is very dangerous and very counterproductive to feel ukraine up with more

than the weapons. and this should be stop, so that the bloodshed ends in ukraine. meanwhile, a turbine that is crucial for the transportation of russian gas to europe by the north stream pipeline has not yet found its way back. and i comes after canada agreed to send the newly repaired parts back through germany, but the turbine is reportedly stuck there due to problems with documents. now is still on clear when the turbine will finally be returned and when the pipeline will be restored to full capacity brushes. we started just supplies to germany after completing an annual 10 day maintenance of north stream, which was agreed in advance, but did still spark phase of more shortages in europe. the pipeline is vital for the year, especially for germany's economy, accounting for the lion's share of the country's energy imports. that in aims to philip, it's gas storage units. we're still has some way to go to reach that target. meanwhile, greece has become the 3rd you country after spain and portugal,

to turn down a suggestion by the european commission to cut gas consumption by 15 percent they use trying to reduce gas and electricity usage, a miss massive price hikes and rising inflation. economist on political commentator, i came and says that western leaders have aggravated the situation by spreading misleading use about bush's energy policy. the problem is lying in the politicians and that personal ties to international networks and bay forbids them to put not stream to into into operation the german population, the, the honorary man on the street, the middle, then deli, need the not me to pipeline. and they wouldn't have any problems about running this, but the have personal ties. and this is why they are risking the future of the germany economy. the future of the john middle stat and the future of our wealth.

just because we don't know to, to blame russia using gas as a where the weapon is facing use. like most of these things that may i mention nowadays, and it's no secret that before anything, she started the biden and obama already promised that they don't want germany and russia to work together. and this is one of the main strategies. so what they are blame me that russia is taking gas and oil as a weapon. it's just a hoax. they are taking or, and gas as a weapon, as they always did you state. so start to design. you cannot make agreements with foreign countries, largely on the african continent. that's is the union struggles to get new gas and oil supplies to replace russian deliveries ahead of the heating season. now the deal, the include 15 agreements between the italian and algerian governments,

aimed at boosting gas and oil deliveries. the same time, the french president has also agreed on stronger corporation in the energy sector with united arab emirates, as the u commission president did with us by john. this spring, germany tried to establish ties with senegal, while you tried to find alternative gas supplies in virginia. over these policies do appear to contradict the eas, previous strategy for many years. the union has been supporting any african initiatives to develop the fossil fuel sites and pipeline construction by refusing to fund them claim, and it was vital to reduce the global carbon emissions. now this approach has always, i'm good african states which so no other alternatives for the developments or countries cannot achieve an energy transition and abandoned the polluting patterns of the industrialized countries without a viable fair and equitable alternative. stopping funding for the gas sector would be a major obstacle. nevertheless, fossil fuel production rates are currently on the up. for instance, south africa has already exported more coal in 2022 than in the previous year. and

african states have welcome to the new deals, yet their own problems like regular power shortages and climate change do still remain. the former statistician general of south africa, dots of poly la hola, describes the u decision as nice if you boxy, claiming that the long term impacts on africa will be helpful for you know, to will go to quote, giving encouraged africa club a sofa. the focus is it chemical step critique, but when they actually suffer the slightest inconvenience of cold and fresh to the economy. oh, and the paypal, when you call them, then the fish to go. why should the pitch gray should be the more mileage? or the more likely more beaches to pacific africa robin been co wish in the 1st place up against very much about we owe you each other. it's also with

the question that one has to ask any resource that is abundant or well with the price of that. and you're brought to a much can easy. it's the case that belong game for europe to way both resources for, for script and then brought to process them and then sell them back to africa at the premium diffusion. why don't we use the image? why don't we use the grains, la casita, please leverage clean, go be clean oil. so that is the energy that comes from there is actually agreed at mode that you don't say, suggest solution to appointments and then saudi, leave them there and say look to weed or we move to quote close. oh, labels are fluid levels enough ago was been threatened from colonialism forms leaving from ho moving on now

a bill of paving the way for puerto ricans to vote for independence from the u. s. in 2023 is currently making his way through congress. that is why voting against the bill? law maker, his was garcia says it's an initial steps towards the self determination, opal's rico while today marks an important 1st step in the d colonization process of puerto rico. i could not in good faith support the passage of puerto rico status act in its current form. the colonization of puerto rico is a shameful part of our country's history. from the moment the u. s. took control of the island to a century of limited citizenship. the imposition of pro mesa and our failures in disaster response. puerto rico's relationship with the u. s. is rooted in history of racism, exploitation, and oppression. the time is now for the process of d. colonization and self determination on the island. the dependence on the u. s. does not end with d colonization, the puerto rican status act comes amid must protest taking place in the country.

public anger was sparked by soaring energy prices with hundreds of people taking to the streets of san juan to demand the cancellation of the government contracts with us power grid operator luma. demonstrators claim that despite frequency power outages luma has read prices 7 times since 2021. we were representatives had this response for those processors. although we respect the right to protest, the reality is that some people prefer to play politics and ignore the fact that loom, or inherited an electrical system that suffered years. in fact, decades of abandonment or spokesman for the puerto rican action movement one lopez bows us as the puerto rico's di colonization is a matter of urgency and could make people's quality of life better. the thing is then the put a weakness, societies, so colon, nice not to understand the we have been calling you for 5216 years. and it's been will never be in

a free country in any way. we can still really know what, what would be free for you to know the input. we can history in the has been demonized, and i want to bring gro independence people who have been put in prison, people on the face for 430. so it's in the urgent matter. recall in the united states, both boards are the same with fear and the construction of the, of the productive roaming can lead of course, to the equation of the over government in the states that can actually look and actually provide weekends with a better while in a better life in general than the one that we have now. watching washington has warned iran against helping russia amid the continued ukrainian conflicts. while the us itself just continue to flood the was own with huge amounts of weapons. ortiz kill him off in reports. the u. s. secretary of defense has

decided to chime in about who he thinks russia should be cooperating with around the world may issue iranian support to, to russia. we would advise alarm to not to not do that. we think it's a really, really bad idea. and then i'll leave that it, that, well, iran and russia aren't getting closer together with more cooperation in the works. the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100. you avi's that iran is preparing to train russian forces to use the jew ivy's with initial training sessions slated to begin as soon as early july. did you have any indication that the training sessions had started a crew or that iran is actually given those trying to russia? we don't have any indications that the, that the sale has actually occurred. and so therefore, we wouldn't have any indications that there's been the training done on them. russia and iran have no problems or restrictions regarding military technical

cooperation. iran is faced at decades of sanctions from the united states. after toppling a u. s. backed dictator, it's 1979 revolution establishing the islamic republic. also, we've seen russia be faced with economic warfare from the united states in recent years, with washington openly trying to strangle its economy. now it's not really working out though with the rubel still standing strong, but in such a context, why wouldn't iran in russia be cooperating more? so what if moscow into iran do expand their relationship? how will the united states respond more sanctions? it's also pretty rich for u. s. officials to be complaining about military cooperation. let's review the latest round of military hardware that the pentagon has dumped into ukraine. it is possible the u. s. could sell or provide ukraine with some us fighter platforms. and you think that's, that's possible going forward that there's us, there's

a grip in, had a sweden, there's the euro fighter, there's a raphael surgeon, there's a number of different platforms that could, could go to ukraine. united states was also committed to sending more high mars munitions, precision guided artillery ammunition intact, recover your goals and other urgently needed support in terms of our ability to track the weapons that are going in. as you know, we don't have any forces on the ground. so that's a difficult for us to do. a number of us made weapons have already turned up on the black market. pentagon officials admit they have quite a hard time tracking where these weapons they send to ukraine, ultimately end up that has not stopped us. lawmakers from authorizing more weapons shipments as peace talks are stalling with washington, seemingly trying to stretch this conflict out until the last ukranian. caleb, martin artsy, new york, the central african republic has become the 1st country in the region to adopt

crypto as an official currency. that's in a bits. again, financial independence, impenetrable bureaucracy keeps us stuck in systems that don't give us the ability to perform. the solution was to rethink our economic philosophy. the country is unveiled is national digital currency called sango coin. and it's allows invest as the chip in the nation's economy by the crypto block chain. the projects even offers foreign invest is the chance to buy citizenship in the country for $60000.00 worth of crypto. plus the crypto currency also opens up land sales with 250 square meters, selling for $10000.00 jobs. mongo legal adviser to the democratic progressive party in malawi. so does about the prospects of this initiative for the african continent . it's good for american economy. and since i'm going to public, however, they might be tied, it is a constant,

including money, in terms or more suitable aspects, aleki of financial interest. a lot, all robot aggression. those might be the checks, otherwise, it's a good move. and the 4 men in countries including my we are a bit lower from the dollar might be challenges in terms of african countries. my inclusive, accessing a us gym and other countries. so those are the chevy side, believe might come in. now despite the upsides of this initiative, the central african republic has a lot of work had to make operations in crypto currency, easily accessible. the country's digital infrastructure has many issues and the overall number of incident uses in the central african republic is around 355000

people, which means that 92 percent of the 4 and a half 1000000 population remain offline. and only one 3rd of the country's population uses mobile phones. winston sucky broadcast journalist told us about the possible challenges the country could face in developing is national crypto currency. full. since i've come to bowling to take this initiative festival, you have to look at what are the help in place the right resources infrastructure. now facilitate the process of ensuring a treaty, treat in encrypted currency, is easily accessible around us. and now they don't have much of a civil internet in most part of the country. and do you have access to smart home and, you know, crypto currency today? mostly it happens in a lot of smartphones and not many people who are currently being educated on how the crypto market price. so i think of is a boost there, but i think they need more or less she direction and also regulation as to

what's and kills a what company bought. we could do currency in the country, south americas mirka. so trade block refuse to allow the ukrainian president to speak it's, it's some, it's this year's summit chair, paraguay. claim that not all members wants to hear. what validity may zalinski have to say in mercosur has determined that there was no consensus for such communication. therefore, the ukrainian side has already been informed that under the circumstances there are no conditions for marco, sir to be able to talk to the ukrainian president. zelinski has addressed many national parliaments since the beginning of the war, including european parliament world economic forum and the united nations, and an attempt to raise funding and support for his country. chief editor of the weekly newspaper opera monday, bruno altman. when he believes the reasons why the tray brought denied, zalinski is request to address the summits lie in his economic interest. it's not

yet clear which countries were against is elaine his speech at demarco who am missing. but it's none that both as in tina and brazil have important deals with russia and as trying to maintain an independence. it stands in the trend and conflict. i think that the reasons for an event or opposition to o crenan presidents but to patients would be link it to dis, economic interest that the main prior math about a matter for adopting dees all that policy in relation to the training conflict has to do with the relations with the relationship that each moment passed in the real that it should move it in the region. her has with the white house. the closer at government is to washington, the more likely it's to take

a stance against moscow and in favor of keith. i believe the practical effect is very lito or known at all demand sumption of this page is, is to generate new facts that feed the western press. the merkel summit springs together argentina, brazil, uruguay, and paraguay in a common markets for mo, developments. in addition to the 4 founding members of mirka, so on venezuela, there are 5 countries with associates, member states us today, the book is the 5th largest economy economy in the world with a combined gdp of around 2 trillion dollars. the main objective of the block is a promotion of a common space generating business and investment opportunities through market integration. former school teacher has crossed the

preparing for this for a very long time, and ukraine has been preparing for 8 years and the nato instructors help them train them to supply them with weapons and teach them to use these weapons. ah ah, [000:00:00;00] with

international brigade but not a consist mostly of volunteers from what i understand, it's really hard to get into this particular unit. now they have been at the forefront in this conflict against ukraine over the last 8 years. and of course, they have shown this strength over the last 5 months, as well as they have been at the front here in a day of god and deterring the ukranian army from entering this city. and they have been shilling ukrainian positions from where they at sac peaceful civilians here in the next her degree coordinate. this is the agony of hopelessness. like when an animal is cornered, it's sometimes bytes itself on the tail. why else are they shelling civilians? they probably hope the civilians will rebel and say stop this go and surrender. for 8 years the people endured this lawlessness and now all their agony is heavily concentrated. that's why they do this. ukrainian army have been in have div guy and pesky near. didn't ask for the last 8 years,

so there are positions there have been really heavily fortified by the situation has changed drastically over the last 5 months. and the fighters off that national international brigade are waiting for their chance to liberate those cities. romantic author of arte done as people's republic. wherever you watch him from. i hope you're fridays off to a great start, thus if an hour do stay tuned for crosstalk width bodies. pizza. lavelle coming up next. ah ah
