wouldn't be an arms race is offensive, very dramatic development, only personally and getting to disease. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time. time to sit down and talk with the french president, hosting saudi arabia, crown prince, and his 1st e u trip. since a scandal over a high profile journalist killing human rights advocates lash out at mac wrong for wooing the prince to get energy deals. also this out through areas of one in russia, extreme postal environmental norman criteria with teen oil and gas fields or what it is covered and more coming for being one of the biggest all projects in going will and j sector and 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. and another u. s. sen urges nancy pelosi to proceed with her scheduled trip to taiwan, despite growing threats from china to take forceful measures if the us house speaker follows through on her plan with well there you're watching r t international on donald quarter. welcome to the program. and now on to our top story, france is the latest you country to woo saudi arabia's crown prince, who is 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 and now has filed a criminal complaint against the top saudi official. the organization which was establish by slain journalist jamal shoji is urging paris to investigate the saudi

prince over his a legit role in the 2018 killing of the founder. the dawn watch dog that tracks human rights violations in gulf countries and promotes democracy, says been so long should be stripped of diplomatic immunity as he isn't officially the one who rules saudi arabia. 2 other advocate groups have reportedly supported the initiative against the prince. and earlier, amnesty international even criticized france for 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 oak g 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 to day mohammed bin solomon 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 dub the world's most expensive home by fortune magazine. the 7000 square meter shocked to louis kent tells that it's really not far about a 40 minute drive around a kilometers from the famous shot to death say, 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 in the if you sanctions on russian gas prices. nuclear energy was on the verge of a programmed decline. about half of the reactors were 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 fis, bumps with m b. s. which us 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 maxwell biden, and other western leaders are 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 if we need to, but it's all for one goal to make sure your 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 don't 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 riyadh cannot cover all the demand on it. so if we increase our production, we can do it alone. a nice, that's all of a last, can't it is doing at the same time or would one decision. and since the oil market is fungible, what if you take from either market from and 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 the big, big, big problem is energy shortage is the problem

with the economy. and we think that the, the united states at auditing the you to do this and that, and they are now and up so that they abolish or do sanction in order to be, to relieve that economy. or they wouldn't be in the position and becoming month if not 2 years. as germany seek solidarity from other e u members and it's attempts to ration gas imports hungry. the prime minister says he isn't the only european leader who opposes a proposed 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 insists that the u is united in the face of gas supply shortages from russia. his latest statements came on tuesday when you government deliberated over a draft european law that would require member states to ration gas to protect countries from supply cuts. the main proposal was to slash 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 far less dependent. eventually, the eas, supposedly, united stands boiled down to fresh divisions at the latest talks and brussels. it shows that europe stays through my job, but you're able to find, you mean them unity and giving a strong sigma. also in the day we're, the flows of decimals from run are reduced them to another 20 percent to coaching and to russia. you won't split us, of course,

a lot of compromises in this text. well, this is the way how europe operates. doesn't make sense that teacher, the association. yeah. shady measures just for the sake of sunny day, i believe. but when it comes to not to security, he receives mainly individual national governments responsibility. earlier we spoke with german attorney doctor andre thomas house and he told us that e u government's will crumble if they keep forcing energy policies on one another. well, you pressure could mean political suicide for government goes 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 for, 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. and then they might very well i

adversely and, and the 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 of friends that for france, france is becoming increasingly wanted present mccall, who is probably the leader with the greatest foresight already at the ambassadors conference on 27, what was 2019 that so over 2 years basically said that the, the era of western high germany over the world has ended on 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 phenomena took an exclusive look at that site. in russia's extreme, know beyond the polar circle with the ocean, just 500 kilometers away where russia extract much oil. then they says, well, stock oil project and cover is supposed to 2 areas of one enriches extreme hostile environmental northern siberia. with 13 oil and gas pill don't when it is covered and more coming will be one of the biggest all projects in global energy sector ever. its entire, we source base amounts at 6000000 tons of premium oil. nation's largest was, company was man, is behind this multi $1000000000.00 project. the company c o has dubbed both salt and noah's ark, or the oil based global economy. that 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 talking well, is the biggest down the only project of such a scale in the world. and it is also the only project capable of having a stabilizing effect on the energy market. drill in here, it's not a thing, but it is happening all across the oil field room, powerful oil rigs. i mean, they can more well very fast. and also oil projects, a big factor, produce 100000000 con oil, manually by 2030. not only the project emissions, but also you can friendly. for example, it doesn't burn the natural gas extracted along with the oil in stand 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 about the ground measures so that local animals can easily pass. and denise, especially important for the oil running these pipes is claim to be of a premium quality that is true through text, inertial born. to raise on every stage of production and your primary restore current grade differs from russia's flagship, heavy euros. it is lighter, much easier to refine and what's more important. last sulfur, it smells oil. by the way, hand a days yet to be named, then you will receive its name, a brand absolute finished version. this formula is ready. be full that it is referred to by the place it is extracted from like then car. i keep cluster of the big project. this is the banker's central pause. how as they call it here. if 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. is that a, during the implementation of the vice doyle project, the station will be the starting point for the transportation of oil. it to the north from the bunker cluster. almost 800 kilometers of trunk lines ought to be billed to cross rushes. nolan timely peninsular, as well as a major oil terminal on the coast of the cot, i see, to deliver the oil to the buyers. oh god 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 year. this will cover laura more a year ago. there was a see here since then. an artificial plot of land has been built of unique structure in the climactic implementation of the time year region. now the policy being submerged. the depth is more than 20 meters. time is a harsh region for both work and housing. the projects proximity to the northern c root is a competitive advantage, has an drastically reduces costs for transport in the oil and lawyers, 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 fannan, we're at a new facility at 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 equivalence 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 u. l. u a. 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 ocean are

r t reporting from timer peninsula in rational and siberia. and now we go to some of the latest news from ukraine. russia's defense ministry says key of forces are sustaining significant 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 in their hair, san region, and inside the done yet people's republic. moscow also says its missiles have destroyed 9 ukrainian military command posts in the past 24 hours as well as 6 ammunition warehouses. this all comes a day after more than 100 rockets for western supplied high mars launchers are said to have been destroyed with 120 ukrainian troops. also having been killed meanwhile, and one of the largest cities of the done yet the people's republic gordon of machine building plans has caught fire as a result of ukrainian shelton here was military has reportedly struck the plant 20

times fracturing a gas pipeline. there the mayor of gordon, of course, says that a breton 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 cubes. forces as r t rum on culture of reports from that city. 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 that the money spend to buy weapons to be spent on ordinary people. posted near dinner recently. it 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. 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 houston of other who have absolutely no access to food, water, or electricity, and they rely on humanitarian missions. in order to survive today,

we brought some food vegetables, fruits, canned goods. of course, these people are also relying on others who live here use in the mother who will deliver this food to them. no, he said, that's what vala many hide in basement. my house has been constantly hit by bomb fragment lama. 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. yeah. well howard thrift sir. yes. in have out there had to be cut short because really heavy shilling began and just to be safe, we decided to drive back to my desk. however, our mission today was complete as we delivered food and medicine to the people of use in nevada, from on cost for

a hearty donors people's republic. earlier i interviewed former republican senator and retired u. s. colonel richard black and he told me that the ukrainian conflict was apparently planned by the west in 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 you had coverage. they began flooding your crane with the weapons with which 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. 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 rushes, 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 nate, about the ukraine joining nato, which would have presented an extra central threat to the survival of the of the

russian nation. president burton had, he had made desperate efforts. he had actually poured specific piece proposals on the table with de tro, nato simply dismissed it. and at that point, russia 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. recently we've been seeing ukrainian forces using prohibited land mines, which came 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. the western media is very heavily censored when it

comes to this type of thing. they present a one sided narrative they, they take information from the ukrainian government and they presented as though it's factual where really often it's just jammed up, for example, the ukrainians. put out word that there was a pilot that they called the ghost of key f. and the ghost of kiev was, was a fighter pilot, have such a nor miss talent, said he manage to shoot down 40 russian fighter jet. and it turns out the ghost of kiev, it was an exam, an exaggeration, it was. so it was total fiction. and they put it out in the western media, went with it, and they said, oh yes, there's this tremendous hero. they have simply deliberately fabricated,

not just exaggerated, but just fabricated stories out of nothing. russia will keep flying. it's cosmo outs aboard the international space station until moscow's own orbital station is built. that's according to a nasa official cited by reuters. and 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 steak on the moon and that's expects the i assess project to last only until 2031

. when the american space agency plans to decommission the station by sending it down into the pacific ocean, us says it will focus on a new moon landing to rival plans by russia and china. 2 of the world's richest people, elan mosque, and jeff bezos are now competing also for the right to launch a mission to the moon. there's also a new race unfolding for control, a valuable natural resources in space. nasa has already said it has its eyes on mining asteroids and the moon for rare metals which could reportedly be worth trillions of dollars distinguished russian cars. not andre bar. asenjoe told us that moscow's withdrawal from the i s s program will effectively spell the end of the station. don't store. over the d i assess, was conceived as deeply mood shall 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 the station 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 know cam 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 the space station project very close to the level of the i assess. in other news, us secretary of state antony blinking is set to visit or wanda, and the neighboring democratic republic of congo to try to deescalate tensions between the 2 african countries. it's come shortly after the u. s. decided to halt its security assistance to rwanda over concerns about the countries human rights

record. and recent months long simmering rivalry had boiled over into a crisis between the 2 african countries. with the d. r. c, accusing rwanda of backing rebels were profiting from the extraction of the countries mineral resources. since may the d r. c. army has been locked in clashes with the rebels of the march 23rd movement reportedly backed by rwanda. and they have been waging a fresh offensive on strategic towns on the garden border. the violence has killed more than 800 and displaced more than 160000 people so far this year. according to the united nations. back in april or want to reach to deal with the u. k. known as the asylum partnership agreement according to which all illegal migrants arriving in britain may be transferred to rwanda, where they are encouraged to stay there for at least 5 years. however, rwanda, which is accused of breaching human rights and on the brink of war with the neighboring d. r. c, can hardly be considered a safe haven for refugees. message name. oh,

after we came to libby and my husband was injured and put into a detention facility by the libyans blood and they were extorting money from us and but since we did not have much at that time, but they just kept beating my husband until one day he died from kidney failure, but he was, ah, no likes we're sorting. he seats the main menu up our boats bullets he couldn't tell you, stuck. he's talking about a policy gun and you say to huff democracy. he's half chalets, him, boss, nor have shenise him. know, have demo for us. so saudi, i'm with like, control of any, any contra africa, those, your top world news stories for this hour and thanks for watching our t international. and we hope to see you again soon. ah.

ah . when i was showing wrong, when i just don't hold any yes to say out becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground.
