a, a a, a, with the french president set to host saudi arabia's crown prince in his 1st you trip since a scandal over a high profile journalist killing human rights advocates last shout at micron for wooing the prince to get energy deals. also this out. through areas are one in russia. is it 3 whole style? environmental nov, inside the area with pain, oil and gas pills. all right, it's covered and coming will be one of the biggest questions going will energy sector avenue r t takes an exclusive look at russia's newest energy project, which flies in the face of

a reported price cap on russian oil imports by g 7 countries with and another u. s. sen urges nancy pelosi to proceed with her schedule trip to taiwan, despite growing threats from china to take forceful measures. if the u. s. house speaker follows through on our plan with just after 8 pm here in rushes capital and you're watching our t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now on to our top story, france is the latest you country to woo saudi arabia's crown friends who's in paris for talks that says european leaders are desperately seeking alternative energy suppliers to replace russian imports. however, human rights watch dogs are crying foul over the cording of the saudi prince. a washington based group called democracy for the arab world now has filed

a criminal complaint against the top saudi official, the organization, which tracks human rights violations in gulf countries is urging paris to investigate the saudi prince over his alleged role in the 2018 killing of journalists jamal, cush. oh gee. the dawn watchdog has published a damming 42 page report on its website, outlining its allegations against mohammed been sold on while also underlying that to other advocate groups have supported the initiative against the prince. earlier amnesty international criticized france also for hold hosting the saudi official i feel profoundly troubled by the visit because of what it means for our world. and what is means for jamal kush algae and people like him. the visits by m. b as to france and joe biden, to saudi arabia, do not change the fact that m b s has nothing other than a killer. if environmentalists thought they were the only ones who are going to get short changed with this energy crisis, it looks like they're now joined by human rights activists. but amendment,

nicole french president is constantly evoking the importance of human rights in different contexts. like, for example, up paris is the birthplace of the universal declaration of human rights. how the defense of human rights is woven into europe's very fabric. but today mohammed ben selman or effectually notice m b. s is at the french presidential palace, which may or may not by the way, pale in comparison to the home, where m b. s. is staying during his visit. we're talking here about a home that the new york times says, and b s. owns through shell companies, and it's dumb the world's most expensive home by fortune magazine. the 7000 square meter shut, 2, louis cat tells that it's really not far about a 40 minute drive around a kilometers from the famous shot to death sire. which apparently inspired m b. s is french home. now the crown prince of oil rich saudi arabia was directly tied

by western intelligence services to the murder of washington post columnist, activist and prominent saudi government critic jamal cash o g, who is reportedly moored inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey in october 2018. and then dismembered with the bones, saw french presidents always have been very pragmatic, casually, inconveniently, just, you know, setting aside lofty values when they happen to clash with french economic interests . and that seems to be the case here. francis big problem right now is that it's caught up in europe's energy crunch, and the if you sanctions on russian gas prices, nuclear energy was on the verge of a programmed decline. about half of the reactors were out of commission and deliberately neglected when paris did an about face earlier this year and lobby brussels to reclassify nuclear energy as green energy. but questions remain as to

whether those reactors and the liquefied natural gas that france has been exploring in massive quantities from russia. since the start of the conflict in ukraine will be enough to power france through the fall and the winter. it makes sense that m b s gets to an invite to the 80 z right now as the crown prince of an energy rich country. human rights optics. be damned, obviously desperate times call for desperate measures and well maybe even desperate fist bumps with m b. s. which u. s. president joe biden would know something about he said, precedent for that earlier this month. a little bit controversially, didn't seem to do much good though, and be asked to give biden any of the oil production guarantees that by him was looking for. and michael, by then, and other western leaders, or a he, a big show for their citizens about trying to mitigate the energy crisis and with middling results. this is what this is all about. you know, we're bringing everybody in who can potentially help us with this problem. even

ignoring human rights, we need to, but it's all for one goal to make sure cost of living stays low. but the one thing that is within their power is to lift their own sanctions on their own energy supply and they seem to be make any moves to do that. a former senior advisor to saudi arabia's minister of energy told us that new contracts with the e u r. a positive step, but re add cannot cover all the demand on its own. if we increase our production, we can do it alone. denise, that all of last can do is doing at the same time or would one decision. and since the oil market is fungible, what if you take from either amount or if it's still france, then the same situation would continue to be that euro now is paying a high price for the sanction that they put on the

oil you is. and in a big, big, big problem it is energy shortage is the problem with the economy. and we think that the, the united states as ordering, they, you to do this and that, and they are now and up. so e that they abolish all the sanctions in order to the, to relieve that economy or they would be and the british him and becoming month if not 2 years. as germany seek solidarity from other e u. member states in its attempts to ration gas import, hungry, prime minister continues to oppose an embargo on russian fuel. hungary have so far found ways to reach agreement with you on all anti russian sanctions. however, now we are up against a wall called the gas embargo. i suggest that the countries of the community do not

try to fight against it. i don't think i'm the only one who shares this view. meanwhile, germany's economy minister continues to insist. the e u is united in the face of gas supply shortages from russia. his statement came on tuesday when you governments deliberate it over draft european law that would require member states to ration gas to protect countries from supply cuts. the main proposal was to reduce consumption by 15 percent with mandatory moves across the block if necessary. however, while germany, italy and some other member states rely heavily on russian imports, countries like spain, portugal and greece are less dependent. eventually, b, e u, supposedly united stands boiled down to fresh divisions at the latest talks and brussels. it shows that europe stays through my job. that job is able to find, you mean unity giving a strong sigma. also in the day where the flows of decimals combine are reduced to

another 20 percent to put in and to rush. you won't split on there, of course. a lot of compromises in the well, this is the way how you approach that make sense that introduce and each and i say the measures just put the take off solely that i believe. but when it comes to security, this is mainly individual national government's responsibility. earlier we spoke with german attorney doctor andre thomas house and he told us that you governments will crumble if they keep forcing energy policies on each other. well, you pressure could mean political suicide for government because all 27 you remember states our parliamentary democracy is based on multi party systems and. and if people have nothing to eat or of people cannot get to work anymore whole if, if they have to come once a day for an hour to

a communal shelter that's heated to warm up for an hour. and this was the emergency plan for germany. then they might very well adversely and vote in a different leadership. originally, the heart of the you is italy, germany, france, and england, and england left in the brexton that maybe other breakfast like a fractured for france. france is becoming increasingly wanted. president mac crawl was probably the leader with the greatest foresight already at the ambassadors conference on 27 august 2019. that's over 2 years. basically said that the, the era of western high germany over the world has ended and he warned his ambassadors to, to become, to, to get acquainted with the thought that there are other powers that we are, that we have moved into a multi polar world. all ready long before the military operation,

ukraine. as g 7 oil consumers are reportedly preparing to put a price cap on russian imports. by the end of this year, the country's largest oil company has launched a massive new project in siberia ortiz maria for national, took an exclusive look at the site in russian's extreme. know beyond the polar circle with the arctic ocean, just 500 kilometers away. this is where russia extract much of its oil when they says, well, folk oil project and cover is $52.00 areas. one enriches extreme hostile environmental, northern siberia. with 13 oil and gas fuel door, when it is covered and more coming will be one of the biggest all projects in global energy sector ever. its entire, we saw space amount at $6000000.00 tons of premium oil rushes, largest company runs napped is behind this multi $1000000000.00 project. the company c o has dubbed vos salt and noah's ark for the oil based global economy.

and i see a few in russia given its energy potential and a portfolio of 1st class projects such as boston, oil can fulfill long term global needs for affordable energy resources. and it certainly is an arc of salvation like noah's ark was stuck. oil is the biggest down the only project of such scale in the world. and it is also the only project capable of having a stabilizing effect on the energy market. drill and here is not a thing, but it is happening across the dock oil failed, learn powerful oil rigs are close to the russian made and they can more 6 kilowatt going to be well very fast. and also called project is expected to produce 100000000 tons of oil annually by 2030. not only the project ambitious, but also eco friendly. for example, he doesn't burn the natural gas extracted along with the oil. instead,

using it to produce green energy for the projects needs and make no mistake. animals are safe to the pipeline runs at a certain height above the ground measured so that local animals can easily pass. and denise was especially important. the oil running these pipes is claim to be of a premium quality that is strictly checked in numerous laboratories on every stage of production. and your primary restore current grade differs from russia's flagship heavy roles. it is lighter, much easier to refine and what's more important. last sulfur, it smells well by the way, hand it is yet to be named, then you oil will receive its name or brand after it's finished versions, formula is ready. be full that it is referred to by the place it is extracted from like van car, a key cluster of the big project. this is the banker's central parts,

how as they call it here, the oil fields kitchen. this is where oil is extracted from the liquid palm from the on the ground. this is want this complicated net of pipes service for this is where the ready oil is stored in those are there wars and from here it goes to the pipeline. but it is that's a little break during the implementation of the restore coil project, the station will be the starting point for the transportation of oil to the north. from the bunker cluster, almost 800 kilometers of trunk lines are to be billed to cross rushes. nolan timely peninsular, as well as a major oil terminal on the coast of the courtesy to deliver the oil to the buyers . ah, a with

ah. and that will only be the 1st stage. the construction will go on after the terminal starts functioning until it's able to process at least $100000000.00 tons of oil a year. this will cover laura more a year ago. there was a see here since then. an artificial plot of land has been built a unique structure in the climactic implementation of the time year region. now the pals have been submerged. the depth is more than 20 meters. time is a harsh region for both work and housing. the projects proximity to the northern sea route is a competitive advantage, has a drastically reduces costs for transport in the oil and lower as the projects

dependence on politically unstable supply chains that makes the oil more affordable and reliable for customers around the world. plus, the company says that 98 percent of all the equipment here is domestically produced . when according fannon, we're at a new facility, the polar power plant. this is the heart of our new project. it will provide the capacity for the start of the vast stock oil project in the future development of the oil fields. we use russian turbines. these are the 1st turbines of this kind produced in russia. there are no equivalents of this equipment with similar capacity in russia right now. this is ours, it's new and it's russian, and that is awesome. but foreign partners are also welcome to participate. as you, as you are the project, lives on and develops as planned, inevitable difficulties are being overcome. but we are full confidence that all the tasks will be completed. we need to do this before the big flood. we will be glad

to see our friends take part in this noah's ark construction project for the global economy. american option r r t reporting from timer peninsula in rational than siberia. and now to the latest news from you, russia's defense ministry says key as forces are sustaining heavy losses. with the latest death, toll reaching at least 200 people. that's as a result of high precision russian strikes on ukrainian military positions and their son region. and inside the done yet, people's republic, moscow also says it's missiles have destroyed 9 ukrainian military command post in the past 24 hours. that's on top of 6 ammunition warehouses. this comes a day after more than 100 rockets for western supplied high mars launchers are said to have been destroyed as well with 120 ukrainian troops also haven't been killed. meanwhile, and one of the largest cities in the people's republic, gordon left off

a machine building plant has caught fire as a result of ukrainian sheylan. he has military has reportedly struck the plant 20 times fracturing a gas pipeline there. and as of yet no casualties have been reported. mayor of gordon, of course says that the that a bread making plant and a residential building were also damaged by ukrainian attacks. the neighboring city of yes and a lot. there is also being relentlessly shelled by kids forces. as ortiz, romano, coaster reports from their ah, the city of yes, in nevada is shown on a daily basis. shilling continues right now as i speak. it's adjacent to the capital of our nets, and the people here are injured and are being killed every single day. right now, i'm going to speak to some of the people which were wounded by ukraine in the military, just recently, loyal for dinner. i was feeding dogs that day when the shelling began and the mind

started exploding somewhere up the street. but then one exploded just near me. i did not even feel it. i don't know how i survived, molested or bubble of terror valuable. i lost my legs. i was in the yard when the shelling began. i got up in the morning on 2 legs, and the next thing i knew i was in intensive care with one which is i was brought there in a tank. i've been in hospital since may, but now i'm going to be discharged and i want to go home. i really want peace and i want the, the money spend to buy weapons to be spent on ordinary people for sydney road in recently. it's civilians that suffer not the military. the showing goes on every day to day. for example, we have a new person wounded, a man who went out to throw out his garbage and got hit by shrapnel. which loop it goes on and on on a daily basis. it's been happening for 8 years, or 8 long years of shelling. they are showing peaceful people. it seems that they are not even aiming just ravaging the city. there are hundreds of elderly people

here in eastern nevada who have absolutely no access to food, water, or electricity, and they rely on humanitarian missions. in order to survive to day, we brought some food, vegetables, fruits, canned goods. of course these people are also relying on others who live here use in the law there who will deliver the food to them. no, he said, that's what voice says, many high din basement. my house has been constantly hit by bomb fragment. so we try to help people to buy medicines, to deliver food. can you afford it? people help by transferring money. we are holding on getting stronger. we believe that everything will be fine with the union. you well howard thrift, sir. yes. in nevada had to be cut short because really heavy shilling began and just to be safe, we decided to drive back to her desk. however,

our mission today was complete as we delivered food and medicine to the people of use in nevada, from uncle, for if hearty, the nest people's republic. i interviewed former republican senator and retired us colonel richard black, who told us that the ukrainian conflict was apparently planned by the western advance. well, this war was planned, at least as early as 2014, when the central intelligence agency and british intelligence m. i 6, i worked with the demonstrators and, and over through the duly elected governor or government, the president deanna coverage. they began flooding ukraine with the weapons with words to kill russians in russia and russians in the, in the don bash and the ukrainian people. i don't think we're,

we're anxious to have this conflict, but the cia had decided it was going to be done to see i actually put in place the members of the, of the, the new revolutionary hunter that took power in, in the ukraine. the ca, washington nato. they were all involved in ukraine long before russia launched a special military operation. and this is all happening on the backdrop of a long legacy of nato military interventions in yugoslavia, afghanistan, iraq, libya, syria, do you on the, on that backdrop, knowing that information? do you think that western officials and media are treating russia's special military operation with impartiality? no, not at all. if you look at it, russia, since, since the founding of the russian federation in 1991,

it has been a relatively peaceful nation. nato was beginning to talk about nature about the ukraine. joining nato, which would have presented an existential threat to the survival of the of the russian nation. president burton had, he had made desperate efforts. he had actually important specific piece proposals along the table with ne tro to begin a discussion about about demilitarize and ukraine. nato simply dismissed it, and at that point, rush was forced into the position where they knew that if they did not intervene at that time, that the ukrainian army was going to launch a major attack on the don bass even since 2014,

when ukrainian troops went into dunbar, we've seen ukrainian forces continually violate the laws of war, and recently we've been seen ukrainian forces using prohibited land mines, which key of earlier claim to have been decommissioned. we've seen executions of captured russian soldiers and ukraine has reportedly been trying to attack a nuclear power plant, controlled by russian forces in southern ukraine. do you think events like this? just don't fit the western narrative and that's why they're not really getting any attention or coverage. they're yes. the western media is very heavily censored when it comes to this type of thing. they may present a one sided narrative. they take information from the ukranian government and they presented as though it's factual where really often it's just trim dogs. for example, early in the war the ukrainians put out word that

there was a pilot that they called the ghost of kiev. and the ghost of ki, i was, was a fighter pilot of such enormous talent that he managed to shoot down 40 russian fighter jet. and it turns out later, this was admitted that the ghost of kiev, it was an exam, an exaggeration, it was. so it was total fiction, there was no foundation for it was just somebody writing like a comic book and they put it out in the western media, went with it and they said, oh yes, there's this tremendous hero. but i will tell you, i give very low credibility to anything coming out of your crane because they have simply, deliberately fabricated, not just exaggerated,

but just fabricated stories out of nothing. russia will keep flying. it's cosmonaut aboard the international space station until moscow's own orbital station is built. that's according to a nasa official cited by reuters. this comes after the new head of russia space agency announced the country will leave the i s s after 2024. now we are continuing to work within the framework of international cooperation on the international space station. of course we will fulfill all our obligations to our partners, but the decision to leave this station after 2024 has been made. i think that by then we'll begin to construct our own russian space station. meanwhile, china recently launched the 2nd of 3 modules for its own brand new space station. the head of nasa has said he is fearful about chinese plans to place a stake on the moon. nasa expects the i assess project to last until 2031. when the american space agency plans to decommission the station by sending it down into the

pacific ocean, the u. s. also says it will focus on a new moon landing to rival plans by russia and china. 2 of the world's richest people, a lot mosque, and jeff phases are also now competing for the right to launch a mission to them. there's also a new race unfolding for control of valuable natural resources and space. nasa already has a size on mining asteroids and the moon for rare metals, which could reportedly be worth trillions of dollars distinguished russian cosmonaut andre bars and go told us that moscow's withdrawal from the i s s project will effectively spell the end of the station store the ve, i assess, was conceived as deeply mutual integrated segments of the russian and american modules, relatively speaking at the functional and hardware level. in the end, the russian segments is undocked from the station, almost bolt. the stations functionality will be severely hampered in terms of its

operation and especially in case of emergencies. i can assume that when you station it will be joined by conscious which have shown their reliability and have something to offer us as well as have an interest to know proposals. the i assess modules have in long service life, they have been operate in this part of the station for a long time, even the russian no come would you, which was dr. the i assess, can no longer be considered, and you, therefore, i think that they use in the construction of a new station has been worked out. and china has already brought a space station project very close to the level of the i s s u. s. senator tom cotton is urging how speaker nancy pelosi to proceed with her scheduled trip to taiwan a visit which has already stoke us, china attentions speaker. pelosi should absolutely go for with her trip to die. why we cannot allow chinese threats to deter a mere visit. my member of congress to taiwan china earlier told washington the

closest visit to taiwan plans for august would have serious consequences. beijing says it will take forceful measures if the us house speaker follows through on our plants. and that would be the 1st visit to taiwan by such a high profile american official in 25 years. was comes it made also growing tensions over are growing concerns rather over tensions between beijing and ty, pay over the possible consequences of pillow sees visit. and while some us officials are fearful of a potential conflict with china, other american politicians are apparently pushing for a serious confrontation with beijing. you know, the whole idea that we're worried about chinese rhetoric shows how misplaced our policy is. this is a question of how america conducts its own foreign policy and thank you very much. disease and ping will conduct it the way we want to conduct it. can we send

a constitutionally denominated official to china? are we going to back down? because each and tang is shaking his fist if we can allow the chinese to dictate who can visit taiwan and who cannot. then we have already seated taiwan to the chinese. if they can veto everyone in the world who wants to come to taiwan, then taiwan will be isolated. so i think she has an absolute right to visit. and i think the support of taiwan is important. why he way from the redman university and beijing told us that policy is planned trip isn't a front to trying to sovereignty. so this why is it of the non obvious your religion speaking? washington? me so now the usb the time i met with the china strong response that makes the late one use that you are ok so close to the case on a story days to.
