a dan, we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be k r y o g 7, finance leaders agree to impose a price cup on russian oil. this by moscow warning, there'll be no supplies for countries supporting the moon. also coming off in the program, the physical integrity not be in bottles. zappa regime. nuclear power plant has been reached several times. according to the head of the u. n. nuclear watchdog stays the agencies representatives will remain at the plant and emails released by us attorney's general claim to show that by the administration has been a quote, incestuous relationship with big tech firms aimed at centering content ah,

across the world around the clock, this is r t from the team and myself unit a little hello and welcome to the news our at 5 pm in the russian capital. group of 7 finance chiefs have agreed to impose a price cap on russian oil according to a statement released after a meeting of the organizations ministers. the move comes this spite moscow warning, not it won't supply any one supporting the move just to run and consider those countries that will join the potential price cap will not be among the recipients of russian oil. we simply will not interact with them in terms of oil on such non market conditions. our oil will go to other markets to those countries that are ready to act according to market conditions. larks easily of a tranquil, has been following developments on joins us live. i elliott yes. so the g 7 finance

ministers of greed to a price cup at levels though not quite clear what that might be on a comes of course, despite the warning from the kremlin union high again. well, you see the response from moscow is pretty straightforward. if you're part of the agreement, then that sit, you won't be able to buy russian commodities and i'm saying commodities because potentially this isn't only about oil bar come back to that a bit later. so what is the u. s. the u. k. and allies? what are they trying to achieve here? let me read out the g 7 statement. the caps specifically designed to reduce moscow's all revenues, while limiting the impact of, quote unquote, russia's war on global energy prices. we've already heard from the white house that in the energy fields, this is the most effective way to punish the russian government. now,

when it comes to natural gas, we also heard from the head of the european commission, or sla funder line that she supports a price cap also on russian gas, not only in europe, but globally to but then comes the question. how can you call that globally, if for instance, china is not part of it, right? the skeptics will tell you that russia has plenty of alternative consumers. and i do have to say that there are enough skeptical voices, a mon western industry experts to i don't know of anybody who works in markets who believes this is a workable idea. and i think most of us who work in markets believe that it has dangers associated with it. it invites opportunities to use potential loopholes. and like very often in the past, we are hearing of voices that there is currently not enough capacity in the world

to replace russian energy supplies. the u. s. doesn't have the capacity to fill that up as the opec producers are not gas producers. in any case, there isn't any l n g capacity in the world to make up for the russian exports to europe. there were running at about 14000000 cubic feet and then we have to find the resources to replace. so that's going to take years. so the near future will show whether the price cap agreement will backfire on those who introduced it or really become an effective punishment tool against the russian government. and if, thanks very much for taking us through, that sat very and up to date remarks, there are 2 correspond elliott, patricia co will turn off the lights on turn done the heat. that's the message increasingly being conveyed to people in europe,

us government scramble to slash soaring energy bills. it comes amid fears of a shortage of gas. this winter is sanctions against russia byte. i spoke to the former austrian foreign minister carne can i so to get her take on the growing crisis injury. i cannot imagine that the europeans are going to all to do what they are currently doing because the stakes are so high. so that was my real inner conviction. now, 7 months later we see that they went even so the stakes are very high. ah, it's irrational that we have seen an irrational behavior long before february 24th . and her indiana, you are accountable towards your electorate. his this effect, ah, so this is so this will have to be decided by the german electorate a. e u citizens, as you, as you were laid out, they are facing huge energy bills. and when i say huge,

it doesn't really give the full practice of an it's, it's many ah, it many, many times larger than last year when you look at especially small business owners and people that had no reason to think about being in poverty before are on the verge of it, or on the edge of that. what will your opinion leaders do? will sanctions against russia? if that is one of the main reasons this is happening, will it be seriously discussed on possibly lifted? when you ask me, what way to do? i mean, we have seen each and every country right now running for its own. so why, but if i may say at your wife, that is not, not the real common action. i mean that everybody's trying to get the guests that can get on the market and we see different threat to choose tactics in france if seen the nationalization of the largest utility company, it, if it existed, it was,

it was nationalized already a few months ago. that we'll talk about nationalization in, in the u. k, which is not european union, but it's also harshly hit by them by the, by the energy crisis current. can i still speaking to the program last hour? not moving on. the physical integrity of the bottle did up, but it was your nuclear power plant has been violated. direct quote is the view of the chief of the u. n. nuclear watched, which is currently assessing the side. i will continue to be worried about the plan deal. we have a situation which is more stable, which is more predictable. it is obvious that the plant and the physical integrity of the plan has been violated several times by chance, by, by deliberation. we don't have the elements to assess that, but this is a reality that we with that we have 2 week of nights and this is something that cannot continue to happen. the mission arrived to the plant on thursday,

shortly after ukrainian forces have attempted to seize the site according to local officials. while the head of the international atomic energy agency has not returned to key of control territory. the bodies representatives will continue to assess the alright, let's said, turn the program now to the front lines. russia, sage, it has secured the key printing defense position of pesky a ton west of done yet. the russian defense ministry also confirmed a contra offensive by key of forces was under way in the her son region. however, if question the results of the push unclaimed, there were high casualties among ukrainian troops in law, 2 civilians, something killed after 4 ukrainian missiles reportedly hit a residential building in the russia control city of her san for people were injured according to local authorities, which also came western supplied missiles where used there is an incestuous relationship between top officials from the biden

administration on big tech. the claim being made from the louisiana and missouri attorneys general after newly released the mail showed more than 40 employees of the current administration as well. as some u. s. agencies have been pressing social media platforms to sensor content. we have already received a number of documents that clearly prove that the federal government has an incestuous relationship with social media companies and clearly coordinates to censor freedom of speech. the department of justice is cowering behind executive privilege and as refuse to turnover communications between the highest ranking biden administration officials and social media companies. they're referencing what they say are a series of documents. and now they're saying that these documents show conversations between top social media platforms and around 45 federal officials. specifically when it comes to content loaner ration and those good old words of misinformation

and dis, information that we have heard so much about lately. now specifically, when it comes to facebook, that's a big one that's mentioned here. and in one of the conversations at facebook, official actually talks about meetings directly with the white house. i know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the white house expects from facebook on misinformation going forward. in our previous conversations, i've appreciated the way you and your team have approached our engagement, and we have worked hard to meet the moment. we've dedicated enormous time and resources to fighting this pandemic, and consider ourselves to be partners in fighting the same battle. now, speaking of dis information, and there is then this conversation where he at another facebook official talks about reaching out to the cdc directly and asking for help with their policy. we have been talking about in addition to our weekly meetings, doing a monthly missing fo debunking meeting with maybe claim topics communicated

a few days prior. so that the c d. c can bring and matching experts and chat casually for 30 minutes or so. yes, we would love to do that. now that line of conversation appears to have gone both ways. here. there are also emails that were sent by the white house cove. in 19 response team, in which they were reaching out to facebook. actually asked them to take down an instagram parity account. doctor anthony felt she facebook's response was to say, yep on it. so there was no push back there when we had that back and forth between those 2, when it came to content, moderation was extraordinary. really isn't. it comes right after confirmation by matches c o. mark zuckerberg, that the f b. i interfered in the 2020 presidential election by pressuring his company to center ledge, russian misinformation and the hunter biden laptop. story to that's right. you may remember back in october 2020 facebook and twitter took really unprecedented and moved to sensor this story about hunter biden's lock top. that was published by the

new york post office of didn't go quite as far as twitter did. however, mark sucker bird did speak out about that this week. he admitted the f b i reached out to him. now what's interesting here is he said that the f b, i was warning him to be prepared for some sort of quote unquote, russian disinformation that facebook needed to be on high alert. and so she said that their decision to censor that story was part of them being on high alert. however, does, of course raise the question of how often this happens, how many times has the, by ministration reached out to those social media tech giants and asked them to make certain decisions. and how often have they complied as these emails appear to show them? in some cases they were even asking for more and more directions. do the revelations come as a surprise at all? well, with this administration, they become almost more and more expected, especially when you have someone like president by then who gave

a speech earlier in which you referred to republicans as extremists. there's a lot of building concern about what his administration has done and what it's continuing to do when it comes to those members of the public that they don't agree with. and it's even drawing some comparisons to a police state like this one. take a list. so that laptop was not centered because it was propaganda. whatever that means, it was censored because it might hurt joe biden. that is a definition of police state behavior. so certainly a lot of daycare and a lot of concerns, especially as we get closer and closer to that mid term election with top social media jones like facebook and twitter already saying that they plan to act against when they see as misinformation racial blevins talking me through that now the author of google archipelago, the digital gulag, in the simulation of freedom, dr. michael rectinwald's believes the wife has uses big tech to its own advantage. the government itself,

using these big tech monopolies to infringe upon political and other speech and basically shut down all opposition. now we're talking about direct assaults on the 1st amendment of the united states. that is the freedom of speech. we're always told, you know, these are private companies, they can do whatever they want. they can censor, you know, you don't have to allow somebody in your house to speak things you don't want to hear. but they've proven over and over again that they're actually appendages of the state that they are state apparatuses that are doing the bidding of the state. in particular, the unit party controlled state, the democratic party controlled state that they work for. so they are not private enterprises, strictly speaking, they're actually part of the state and they're being wielded by the state to do it's bidding to south asia where a major health crisis is looming in pakistan now does,

according to the world health organization, recent devastating floods which affected more than 30000000 people are now threatening the country's food security. the w h o fears that water born diseases may spread rapidly under current conditions, unprecedented. mon students have resulted in a 3rd of the country now being under water. according to pakistan's climate change ministry, she branded a serious climate catastrophe. rescue operations are ongoing. local journalists earlier sent this report at least 13rd of august is under flood water. as many as 27 people have died alone during last 24 hours since mid june. still now, nearly 700 people have died in different incidents of flood across buck is on earth many as 1500 passing joke in different incidence of floods. now there is also allowed me to port that among the dead. there are at least $400.00 children who were also killed in large western robins. probably there are 4000

tourist who was tendered in one of the resort of long valley. and los are still happy still need to be rescued to the helicopter. my understanding is that the government is an action and law tourist are going to be rescued sooner or later. the overall picture that he's developing focused on suggest that at least in the said, the machine province, the salt water has these up to 8 to 9 feet. that means hot, terrible, it has begun for the people to survive in this water. and the rescue oppression is still under impartial barcas on. and the authorities have not been able to reach to the affected people. partly because of a simple reason because the door network have graphs, the bridges have glass and the number of the helicopters which are required, given the sure huge scale off off the flood flood operation that is less so far.

the help that is coming from the fairly can please, is a, is a, me go to in terms of the food supplies that box. i'm getting from the article piece from the, from the turkey and some other countries. the you inspected journal is expected to regions each in pockets on the next couple of days to he and he will himself assess the scale of the damages that has, has been caused by the flood water. the climate change is one such leading factor to another factor is that the successful success of government have, have failed to build up the mega, mega dams because of which every year, the flood sweep over, everything that comes on the way it gives people a destroy builder and then it ends up in the area of you'll see something exactly what is happening right now in fuck a song. at least buck us on these nice tens of billions of us dollars. booty heavily, dad, people in 3 provinces, java on the islam. bob,

boycott bollywood. that's the hash tag trending among indian social media users who say they're growing tired of the traditional hindi film business. the movement of sparking concerns among filmmakers and doctors as to whether it's a temporary trend or marks the beginning of the end for the world's biggest movie industry, r t wrench and sharma has the story. it's jose was bollywood all the way with trend which is on for several months has recently picked up again taking on the all 100 year old industry. the anti bully with sentimental india's on a rise on more and more bollywood movies for week tim, to the calls for a boy caught, 2 armies are going off to actors or comments made by them from years ago are being pulled out and ritual fitted to announce boy, god, what really is going on? is bollywood losing its connection with its audience?

yelled no deli in india, else oldest and few left single screen cinema holes. people up boring in on a weekday afternoon. most cinema bowski yard are unaware of the online boy or trend big. the boycott trend didn't hold any value that compare the real population with online population. get all that matters is the car. if the content is good, nothing can stop the audience from watching. and perhaps that's the wood, was social media and hashtags a he had to stay a truly good piece of work cannot and will not be impacted. the end of the day. content is king, region sharma, r t, new delhi. the legacy of 2 decades of the us occupation of afghanistan, all in the name of the war inter and our special coverage. we are examining the consequences of america's policies in the central asian country and showing the

to what i heard from other people around 60 percent of people, most of them interpreters have been betrayed and abandoned by the u. s. in afghanistan. when the taliban took over, there was chaos. a couple add port. those interpreters who had filed at cases for evacuation was stranded in the middle of the road. we said several e mails to american officials. we worked with them, but they've not responded yet. ah, i can make them. i think those who have left us behind in afghanistan, a just hiding as i fear for their own lives. look at our misery. we can't get a job here in afghanistan because we have a biometric system of identification here. if we apply for job anyway, we would immediately be recognized as afghan interpreters who, what for the americans in the past. ah,

ah hello in welcome to cross top where all things are considered on peter lavelle. the so called collective west is at war with russia using ukraine as a proxy. the west has made it clear once a russia that is weaker and isolated on the world stage to date, these attempts have ended in failure. in fact, the opposite is happened. the west is weaker and isolated with cross sucking the wes miscalculations. i'm joined by my guess, john verola in new york. he is a political analyst as well as a former foreign correspondent in russia in washington. we have michael maloof. he is a former pentagon seniors security policy analyst, and america. we crossed to martin j. he's an award winning journalist and commentator or a gentleman cross sack rules and the fact that music can jump anytime you want. and

i always appreciate, let me go to michael in washington 1st. i mean, if you saw from my introduction, i kind of wanted to focus it on russia, but out the news flow is kind of interrupting this error. china's very much on in the news flow, taiwan. so michael e, it's go do a little bit of history. remember in december, i think, december 17th, the russian said to know to diplomatic note, to nato, into the united states a do, watch your step. i'm going to borrow some chinese words. you know, you could get burned with ukraine. now let's talk about right now. you know, the nancy pelosi, i suppose, as we speak right now is approaching, or maybe even be in taiwan and the chinese sworn don't do this. they'll be consequences. is there a parallel here and who's not understanding the world? go ahead my go. well, well, thanks for having me, peter. yeah, there's an extraordinary parallel here. i think the chinese have learned and from the ukraine lesson, they saw that mister putin, as you pointed out,

i put down a red lines and a and wanted to negotiate or they were ignored. and now he's done the same thing. jean ping has now done the same thing. he's a, he's issued a bread lines, and he's told them don't cross it or else and the, and for some unknown reason, our people are so thick headed. they just cannot get the message. and it clearly is necessary that they don't, they don't understand. well what it's like to have a, a 2 front war going on, all of a sudden, once again. and, and in this case, we're not prepared for it whatsoever. i'm not even prepared to to help you ukrainians and very much longer given, given how quickly they're going through the logistics. so this whole thing is just total madness and be in august. i am very, very concerned about a possible war and historically.
