hey, i'm with it's a firm. no, it's a black male when it comes to foreign affairs. that's the message from russia and the republic of the congo up to talk between the countries. diplomats gala rose african saw in full swing. pakistani business community is keen to develop trade relations with russia that says, the president of the pakistan business for notes, the attractiveness of the russian market for the countries export and restrict thing the flow russian energy joined to the gas from. so just taking another gas turbine offline for maintenance, cutting already reduced flow to europe by almost

a half. i'm seeing an immediate spike in europe, gas prices with am in the morning here in the russian capital. i'm peter scott and his how the world's look in as tuesday gets in the way russia and the republic of the congo stand against political blackmail on being dictated to over global affairs. well, that's the message coming from the countries top diplomats during russian foreign ministers, historic visit. the move was to play him sir. we will stand for democratization of international relations for equality of all nations in a global dialogue. in line with the un charter, we stand against dictatorship, ultimatums and black male in relations between sovereign countries. a little fun with our stance on the russia, ukraine crisis has remained unchanged since it broke out. and it relies on the position of the african union from the very beginning. we did not want to do as the

romans to add fuel to the fire. we wanted to reach out to both sides, to find a negotiated solution in the congo. sir gil, i've also met with the countries presidents with a global few crisis being one of the key issues of both talks law, but once again stressed that russia isn't seeking to create obstacles to exporting grain from ukrainian ports. r t 's. maria for national, has been following the foreign minister with his for 9 full swing congos leader, who has been ruling the country since 979. and you all solve it. and russian leaders since melanie branch of greece said a lot of like he is a family member. the 2 sides discussed a wide range of issues including neutral effort and leave is reconciliation process . congress president is preparing a huge conference there with representatives of all tribes and forces invited. russia supported the idea and also creation of a joint labord theory for this study and prevention of the spread of dangerous

infectious diseases. russia stopped implement came to africa at a hard time to confirm that moscow and its partners in this region house tail. on the same page. we just sat through initiative lenders and we cooperate closely in the international arena. and we have practically identical positions and most issues. we appreciate this cooperation with our friends from the republic of congo, congo was the 2nd country lobrado visited as part of his strategic african to work . before congo was aged russia's plans on the african continent are huge, but not everybody seems to be happy. it is becoming clear that russia is recognizing that its own actions have caused it to become a foreign minister lab. rob is seeking to engage with countries to try to slip, to try to stem beyond slot of outrage against rob, just ahead of labrems, to visit a group of western diplomats, sent a petition to the gyptian government, and the arab league,

calling on condemned russia for his special military operation in ukraine not to deal with moscow and even not to take pictures with lava of the arab legs. answer was clear. mister law roof is already here. you know, gotten done and other busy day full of high ranking african meetings. they had a c o p, a follows the russian side, expect small criticism and disapproval from the west. but as moscow says, this barking will not stop the caravan. you'll see the metal people on their social media and new deals. when you see how people are really thinking that it's a very good opportunity for the african not only for congo bus may be c, like a very, very positive side for the russia. come come back in africa doing something. so you know, so it's also because of the, the context in which we are going through the most of the country future. for example, the number of countries later had been corrected. public school is kristin. big

issues of security is really giving hope to people they come expect more in terms of security and also guarantee for example, leadership and also in terms of, you know, being un, they see like the un, they have more positive deficiency in terms that we support russia on the vehicle, so it's really giving a sense of a home. well definitely come rejoined men in their office. and in general, as our correspondence mentioned earlier, to gay, love rove arrived in uganda, which is the 3rd stop on his talk on monday. 9th is already held a short meeting with you can the counterpart. and he said you to meet the country president later on tuesday, rob's trip will wrap up in ethiopia. the rest and foreign minister continues his african visits. our t contributes. rachel, marston analyze is what it is about africa that so fixates the u. s. on the you the

problem for the west is that it is spent years pratt, falling all round africa and african seemed to be getting a little bit tired of it. france was leading an e u security mission, the to cuba task force in the hell region of africa since 2020. but it was kicked out earlier this year after it failed so badly at stabilizing the country that the missions host country malley underwent to cruise. clearly a resounding success for the showcase of what a european union military alliance could achieve, which is an objective that has long been voiced by french president, a mentor and my comb. malley has since turned to increased cooperation with russia on the security front. and it's a trend that we're seeing all across africa as western countries failed to deliver . and washington is reacted and it's typically subtle fashion to its loss of influenced by both threatening and trying to bribe african countries at the same time,

the countering malign russian activities in africa act introduced in congress back in march targets african governance officials and businesses doing business with russia, a qualifies such dealings as manipulation and exploitation of africans sells a lot leggy countering russian influence in europe and eurasia act of 2017. that led to the demise of the german russian gas project, nordstrom, to, and from which we're all suffering here in europe. now as citizens, sa, scramble for energy at high prices. it also sounds a lot like the countering america's adversaries through sanctions act, targeting iran, russia, north korea. and you know, all this legislation effectively just deters other nations from dealing with america's geopolitical competitors. and no doubt that's by design. at the same time, the g 7 group of western allied nations pledged a $600000000000.00 plan and for africa and latin america last month.

so what do you think the odds are that the west will allow countries to both take that money and also to do business with russia and china? it really does seem like an effort to compete with china's belton road initiative in the same regions. but well, it's a day late and a dollar. sure. it already smacks a desperate attempts to keep africa squarely in the western sphere of influence as growing. multi polarity opens up their options over to pakistan now, which is one of the crunches that has not embraced the western tre blockade of russia, where the president of the pakistan business form says that the business community in the country is looking forward to strengthening trade ties. with moscow, the forums head odds that the russian markets harbors huge growth potential for pakistani exports. but the current bilateral trade is being hampered by banking sanctions imposed against russia,

as well as undeveloped logistical routes between the 2 countries. now pakistan's, exposed to russia, amounted to more than a 170000000 dollars last year, but the forms chief said that could grow exponentially in the near future. so as much as 2800000000 if trade barriers are removed in the textile, agricultural and medical sectors. however, international lawyer and global 1st analyst has on as long shot. and he believes the new government in islam about may not take up that opportunity because of us pressure. i don't expect much from the current current government. and the reason why i say that is because in my view with this government has come with a specific agenda, which is to undo all the good work that had been done by the former prime, the state and wrong on who had extended all the price to russia, it wanted to expand montana to create with russia. it's unfortunate that they see it as a 0 sum game because for them appeasing washington

d. c is the be all and the end goal of the entire geopolitical outreach. as you know, diplomacy is a delicate balancing act and one relationship should not be exclusive off the other . it's not, i don't or you can always have a relationship with old or more countries. we live in a month and after. but, you know, i always give the example of neighboring india, which has maintained a close relationship with russia, which is a legacy of the last few decades. at the same time, india has managed to get very close to the us, let risks a western alliance so, so it's possible to balance out both. but unfortunately, the current government of august found to be viewed as a 0 sum game because they have been given a strict they have been told that you have to undo the work that was done by iran. and now to another story were across today. russian energy giant gas from has announced that it will take offline, one of the turbines that helps from gas through the nod street, one pipeline to germany. now the company says the move is part of routine

maintenance, but that does mean that from wednesday, the already restrictive gusto to europe will be caught by close to the 50 percent. well, earlier you didn't. o'neill discuss the issue with ortiz, rachel blevins. we know this pipeline was already down to 40 percent capacity, and of course these cuts come just days after the pipeline went back online following routine maintenance. now guys promise saying that they're going to have to take another turbine down. they say that it's due to technical difficulties and the need for even more maintenance. and we've seen really just those ongoing saga involving the north stream one where gas problem is also saying that they still have not received back that turbine, that they've been waiting on, which was sent off to canada and then held up due to a lot of back and forth over whether or not canada was even able to release it because of course the west has so many sanctions on russia that that turbine gotten

to the cross hairs well now gaz promise saying they did receive some documents on its return. however, those documents lead to even more questions than answers here. so there still is a lot up in the air regarding this very vital pipeline that europe still continues to rely on even the head of this news to general mood in europe regarding energy where it's coming from was far from boy in to it is, it is very tense right now and, you know, you see this growing crisis, we've seen these skyrocketing energy prices that only continue to sore. and yet the response from top leaders and europe has not been to lead to any sort of meaningful answers. so far. the european commission is now saying it expects countries with a block to simply cut their consumption of natural gas next month by 15 percent. now, reports are saying that member states are already speaking out and asking for exemptions, saying that that simply is not a possibility. and when it comes to the real world,

impact of those skyrocketing energy prices, we see that everywhere from the homes that are seeing those large bills to also the production germany specifically saw a survey of into drill companies and nearly 20 percent of them said that they were already pulling back on production due to the fact that they simply could not afford it. now, surely, there are a lot of people in europe. we're thinking that they just can go forward like this. but the prime minister of hungry is the one who's actually speaking out. here's what he had to say about the situation in the war. the western strategy is based on 4 conditions. the 1st is, the ukraine is not alone, and it needs anglo saxon instructors for the country to win the war with russia using nato weapons. the 2nd is sanctions which should weaken russia. the 3rd is the aftermath of sanctions, which we should have handled, but russia could not. the 4th element is peace that we could have built. instead, we are sitting in a car that has punctures in all 4 tires. it is absolutely clear that the war cannot

be won this way. so there is still a lot up in the air here, especially when it comes to looking at how this latest cut to the neurons dream. one pipeline is going to affect the overall supply, and of course, how europe is going to respond to it. the us is engaged in a proxy will with russia and ukraine is the butterfield. thus, the view of former cia officer raymond mcgovern, who says the continuance across moscow's red lines only leads escalations in the conflicts. now this view is shared by many, including former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, who states the more than once ukraine should serve as a buffer zone between the east and west prominence. us scholar john mearsheimer also believes that the u. s. on this allies are the ones responsible for the ukranian crisis. now, i must be said that the majority in the west do view russia's actions in ukraine as an unprovoked invasion of a sovereign country. but it appears that alternative opinions are finding their way

on to the political arena as some european leaders such as from gary mpm to all bon, are urging the block to take a different approach to the war in ukraine form i say officer ray mcgovern things to the u. s. should accept a shift towards a more multi polar world. existential threat means that you're a very nation, it's defense is in danger. russia does not want medium range or long range missiles in ukraine or alone or mania. if you let you ukraine in nature, those misses action factor go in there. so it's, it's all tied together. mr. food chain and is russian leadership are clearly bent on preventing this kind of situation. a bulwark of the west or right against the russian territory. invasion of ukraine, it was not on provoked,

and i have been making that case as has john rear shermer. rather it was provoked starting and earnest in 2014, when the cool and kias took place. but even before that, 2008, when she gave level ross warner ambassador, nist means who think america and its allies in the wes shouldn't be able to dominate the rest of the world. they don't seem to realize that that's older. that was the case back after world war 2. to an extent, it was a case after the russia in the soviet doing imploded. it is not the case. now. the russian armed forces are, again, a porsche they contend with their economy is pretty much o target. that is, they could get along by themselves with a lot of al, from china,

india. you are on other places. so it's a very different world. america doesn't realize that the, hey, gemini, is over. ah, now the news americans have no reason to worry about a potential recession. that's according to the us treasury sex. to said that despite slow economic growth, there are jobs for those who want them. this is not in the economy that in recession, but we're in a period of transition in which growth is slowing. and that's necessary and appropriate. john, it's yellen also said the rising inflation in the country can be controlled of despite the rate surging to 9 point one percent in the last month, which is the highest it's been in decades. mcellen's optimism though isn't shared by everyone, including a former advisor to barracka obama, is that a recession is almost inevitable. pressure on american consumers does continue to

increase with food energy and rents becoming ever more expensive. and with jo biden's ratings, reaching and other all time low ortiz kayla morphine has been looking at the public supports for the presidents. polls indicate that the biden administration is not popular. 59 percent, almost 60 percent of americans seem to disapprove of. ready job the joe biden is doing, and that is consistent with other polling data that has been taken. an interesting poll that came out earlier this summer showed the 28 percent of americans felt that it would, at some point be necessary possibly to take up arms against the american government . that's how alienated that they feel. now this discontent has manifested itself on the streets of america. here's a recent incident where a heckler confronted 1st lady jill bite. the now joe biden has provided his critic theories of bloopers, of which they control him on the internet and point out his flaws. joe biden seems

to have quite a habit of reading off instructions either in his notes or in a teleprompter. not being clear what it is he supposed to be speaking about and saying, and rather what it is that our instructions, he says things like now take your seat, repeat the line. now make further comments and he continues to do that as he speaks . there are also some other notable blobs where he talked about the selfishness of us troops in saudi arabia for example. but at the end of the day, the driving factor behind jo biden's unpopularity is be inflation. which is that a 40 year high, the rising cost of gas, the rising cost of food, americans are just not happy with the buying in ministration and it's performance. and it's all your director for the reactionary times news and commentary side julio rivera. he believes that joe biden's presidency begun his downward spiral from day one. if you look at all the failures of the budget ministration has started on day

one with his executive orders, you look at the border crisis. you want to whole a border construction immediately after he won the election, he was running around in the media talking about the possibility of legalizing up to $11000000.00 illegal residents that cause the search to the southern border, which we're still dealing with. you talk about the energy crisis in america, you know, he tries to blame the conflict that's going on in ukraine for the rising price of energy in america. but the truth of the matter, if he was handed an energy independent country, i think the root of the economic crisis, the america's facing it, and really every sector has to do with leadership. i mean, joe biden is incompetent. the democrats have become economically incompetent. joe biden deserved his poor poll numbers bottom line. russian lead forces say they have destroyed 2 ukrainian boats who subcultures in ukrainian waters south of nikolai of us, according to the russian, m. o. d. and also, according to the m. o. d russian artillery hit deco with ammunition for american

supplied highmore launches. in 10 exchanges of artillery fire are taking place along the entire front line. in dawn bus seen no abates since last week. meanwhile, in 50 russian monetary services have delivered another batch of aid on to the city under fire is ortiz roman cos, or if the village is still under fire, and it's very difficult for people to bring of food here. so all these people are relying on humanitarian aid. there are at least 1200 residents that live in this village alone. and her russian humanitarian mission has been delivering food here for quite a few months. and according to the people, if it wasn't for them, there would be starving. we just don't get off for this isn't our 1st time here. we've been 4 or 5 times. so this is my 3rd visit. and this time we brought a standard humanitarian package. each box contains around 15 kinds of products

apart from food, we've also brought valuable things like water filters, in the weight of our cargo today is 2 and a half tons over all since the war started. we've brought some 600 tons shallow and i thought i'd say that we've been in this village for about 10 minutes. mind you. there is no in network here. sold the telephones on work. but somehow the people found out that the humanitarian aid was abroad. and as you can see, there are now coming from everywhere cuz people from coming from afar. and this shows how much this humanitarian aid is needed. local fulton, hon. order. we've had no pensions, no salaries for 6 months. some shops have opened, the prices have gone up 3 times for the last time i got my pension was in february, and that's it. there's no money to pay for food. and this, this is a significant health that watching federal ship almost, it's very needed help. human, we are refugees, we left

a broken house and everything, and as we took only a few bags with us, we're grateful for the healthy bottle. the village of storm lane of cabbie came home to hundreds of refugees from other areas that ukraine is currently shelling. very heavily. now, right now i'm going to speak to a one of those refugees. he doesn't to be shown on camera because his relatives are still on a territory controlled by ukraine, but he has some very important information to share. got you on color one ukrainian sold her head from the shelling in our courtyard. i call him in and hit him in the basement. he repeatedly used his walkie talkie asking for further instructions. he was very afraid when he was told to come down and sit tight with him after a while he was told it's time to leave and to you civilians as a shield. he didn't even turn to us, but it's unlikely he could take 2 strong men as a shield anyway for school lucian, vis, village saw some of the heaviest fighting since the start of this special military

operation. although it's a relatively quiet here right now, we can still hear the sounds of artillery. this village of the moment is also hosting refugees from other parts of the nest people's republic still under control of the ukrainian military. but be in here. there are always these constant reminders of the arm conflict remark author if r t done as people's republic. and finally, canadian farmers have gathered in also where to show solidarity with a dutch colleagues. they're also protesting against new environmental laws which could affect their livelihoods. the me 100 gathered near the dodge embassy and come to the capital to voice their concerns about the dumbest plan, the code for the mission by 50 percent. now they say it will directly affect

production potential and damage and already shaky financial situation for farmers. meanwhile, canadians themselves dealing with the new burden of taxes on russian fertilizers chanted no farmers, no food outside the building. in the past month, dutch farmers have used tractors to block highways and distribution centers in the netherlands that protesting against regulations that would in some cases, for farmers to co hurts and modernize facilities in the hope of cutting nitrogen under monia emissions. earlier. ryan, cursed like a canadian farmer, told us that there are some change of the farm as can make themselves without be forced to do so. by the government. there's going to be a lot of sentiment and worry about what that might mean for the bottom line of these producers mixed reactions to that. i think that there still could be more opportunity for us to be heard and really outlined different types of storage programs like the for n, a night nutrients stewardship program, where we do see

a reduction for leisure without having huge impacts in yields. what the for, are standing for right source of the fertilizer, the right rate, the right time in the right place. so i think that there are efficiencies that farmers could be implementing without having kind of a forced hand reaction from government. so i think that we want to make sure that as we try to move more towards a green agenda, that we're not putting farmers in the red. and that they're able to take advantage of this as a, as a benefit of, you know, a price, a price increase or, or know, taking advantage of the value that they add a result of going green. and not just simply, you know, having to have a force reduction in yield as the farmers are forced to by governments. well, that's how the world is looking this tuesday morning. us all for me. peter scott, for now, but do stay tuned for will depart coming up next season on a boil, the

a ah. ah ah . ah.

with mm. welcome to wells fargo, depression general and military theory that cross vote. klaus with famously said that war is a continuation of politics. by other means. my dis today takes a bit further by suggesting that these day and age sanctions to you are advancing the cause of war. and in the case of the ukrainian conflict, we have both isn't likely to lead to a lasting peace or discomfort. i'm now joined by hans carplay of president of the international progress organization doesn't crippler. it's good to talk to you. thank you very much for your time. you're welcome. now let's 1st deal with a search and ad or is that continuation of policies by other means i know that you

disclose in your writing quite a bit as cynical as it may sound in our progressive age. is that still too? is that still the case? not only in the cranium context, but also broadly around the world. it is still the case. indeed, of course we have to heard the war is politics by other means. if other forms of politics have failed, that means in particular if diplomacy has for it. but certainly, whatever may have been said since 1945 since the foundations off to you and i said, nations the use of force by one state against another state is still a kind of almost regular method of the conduct of international affairs.

we are told quite often that this was supposed to have changed with the adoption of the united nations. but unfortunately, that is not true. oh yes, i'm sorry for interrupting. i just wanted to sort of narrow our attention a little bit to the complaint that the whole listing attention to now and by that, i mean, of course, the events in ukraine. he's a very difficult decision for the russians. we will have to deal with the consequences of animals, moral and economic and political consequences for many years to come. but the question i hear open here in moscow is whether it could have been avoided whether russia could have it. she wanted it as is as a stand, so go.
