12:05 pm
initially promised and is instead going to the wealthy ones. and he's promised to work out a solution to the issue together with russian president vladimir putin. but the key, hm. good will says mister putin is right about one thing for sure. grant is being shipped to wealthy countries and unfortunately not to poor countries. i will discuss this issue with mr. prudent at the seo summit in some our conte. we also want to start grain supplies from russia. we're looking forward to that. let's begin this process and deliver the cargo to the countries that really need it. on statement comes to the day after vladimir pierson brought up the issue with the east and economic forum saying that only 2 cargo ships out of $87.00 have taken ukrainian grain to africa. while the lion's share went to europe, who's an accused western countries of deceiving other nations over the great deal and says, the agreement should now be reevaluated. according to a stumble based center for monitoring the grain dale only 30 percent of ukrainian
12:06 pm
grain has reached low income countries. meanwhile, western leaders of also being criticized for failing to financially support african nations. as ortiz maria financial reports, the west worries a lot about losing ground to russia in africa. at least that's what a confidential internally you report shows. and that's after we've seen some desperate attempts to fix things as a number of us and european leaders. and top politicians recently visited the african continent trying to convince that public and decision makers there that they are loyal friends. but their actions don't really seem to be matching their words. on monday, the netherlands held the african adaptation summit, the 1st of its kind to help the continent tackle the full out of climate change, 3 african presidents, flu, thousands of miles to be there. so what about western leaders?
12:07 pm
only one, the dutch prime minister, the host of the venue turned up in person. and the high profile african guests were not impressed. i cannot help but note with some bitterness, the absence of leaders from the industrial world. i think if we made the effort to leave africa to come to rotterdam, you be easier for the europeans and others to be here. i associate myself wholly with these sentiments of precedence mackey sell about. the failure of certain vested interests to be present with us at this meeting. it is my turn to also deplore the absence of leaders of industrialized nations strong words the snob by western liter as seems even more unacceptable given that their nations are responsible for the majority of carbon emissions in the world. as the african participants pointed out. because these are the main polluters of our planet, and it is they who should finance adaptation. the african continent has the smallest impact on climate change, but paradoxically suffers the majority of its consequences. in fact,
12:08 pm
africa all are responsible for 3 percent of global carbon emissions. and yet it bears the brunt of the climate crisis as the most vulnerable continent. despite having contributed the least to global warming and having the lowest emissions, africa faces exponential collateral damage, posing systemic risks to its economies. infrastructure investments, water and food systems, public health, agriculture and livelihoods threatening to undo its modest development gains and slipped into higher levels of extreme poverty. the perceived disrespect of western or is, wasn't the only topic on the agenda. some of the promises industrialized nations made but had failed to meet, were also discussed. we find that australia, canada, and the us continue to fall massively short on international climate finance. the u . s. is overwhelmingly responsible for the climate finance gap having provided just 5 percent of its fair share in 2020. although its economy is 40 percent larger than
12:09 pm
the european union's. it provided only 112th as much climate finance. but are any of those countries even listening? according to the use climate had reached nations, couldn't care less that african suffer from what westerners are responsible for, because they're simply too busy with their own 1st world problems. please be frank . many of our citizens in europe will not buy this argument today, because i worries a link to their own existence in this energy crisis is food crisis in this inflation crisis. this might seem very strange from an african perspective, but it is always was closer to your o mores is always bigger on your agenda than someone else's worries. a controversial statement at a time when western leader is a telling their own citizens to be prepared to rush an energy cost their food consumption and perhaps haven't trees. because of the v re sanctions they imposed on russia. while the fact that africans are literally dying due to western policies,
12:10 pm
isn't alarm enough for them to take action. the summit by all accounts confirmed with wide him or putting pointed out recently at the eastern economic forum when he revealed that most of the grain shaped from unblocked ukrainian ports went to the you while only 2 out of 87 boat actually went to africa. and it's not easy to argue with that after seen what happened at the summit in the netherlands, a chance to call parade, to help fix their mistakes, to create an equal partnership, and prove their commitment all successful, ignored and missed by western countries. roof national r t the eastern economic forum, a key international platform for building and boosting ties between russian and international investors, wraps up on thursday that map who to attend to the forum along with them. other key latest it to discuss world issues and further co operation. the business program included dialogues with leading partner countries in the asia pacific region,
12:11 pm
particularly within the format of the amazon group, have rapidly developing nations in southeast asia. man, mazda epi t information minister emphasize the importance of his country working with russia to cast off the west's endearing colonial mindset. regarding his country. he rashadi glued to cool, we must all unite to ensure peace around the globe. western countries feel they are in charge. the world, they still have a colonial mentality. so we need to stick together more than 90 countries have participated in the eastern forum with numerous business people. that's a sign that russia is not isolated from the rest of the world. we understand the russia is fighting for its sovereignty and for the sovereignty of other countries, russia is currently promoting development in the far east. we are also interested in it. we are ready to work with russia. we have been brought together by the fact that the west considers us on friendly countries. if you ask somebody abroad,
12:12 pm
what they think about russia, than for sure, people will say bad things. but in our country, everyone loves russia. the u. s. is that c benefits the most from the energy crisis across the atlantic is american companies will be exporting gas at a significant premium to europe during the upcoming winter. as, according to u. s. energy tycoon, cherice seeking, we are sitting on huge resources. they are not very expensive to produce. we are good at building infrastructure. we're going to be able to develop american gas very affordably and sell it at a significant premium european commission. president ursula underline is for jihad with that black hole that she's been digging for european citizens and the economy, and is proposed to price cap on russian gas import, saying that quote, we must cut russia's revenues, which putin uses to finance this atrocious war against ukraine. he keeps blaming russian president vladimir putin for weapon ising, the use energy supply. but it's,
12:13 pm
you officials alike vander lane, who can't seem to stop meddling with it 1st with sanctions. now the price cap, it seems that the more the use, big brain bureaucrats try sticking it to putin. the more russian energy revenues just keep increasing. vonda lane is also recycling, talking points now from the cove in crisis. remember what we're all told during the pandemic to stay home and hide from the virus to quote, flattened, the curve will now underline, says that the you must quote, flatten the peaks of energy use because that's what drives prices up. some top european politicians apparently aren't too convinced by any of this. if we don't change the sanctions policy, the situation in europe will be uneasy. the thing is that europe has run out of energy. we have to bring it in from other places and the energy that comes here is expensive. it's not a constructive proposal. it's more like another way to sanction russia than an actual solution to the energy crisis in europe. and we don't want to prepare more
12:14 pm
sanctions now, but rather to solve the situation with energy. meanwhile, german vice chancellor and economy minister robert havoc has now publicly admitted that it's entirely possible the companies could very well. just stop producing, it's unclear how companies would avoid insolvency with no revenue coming in an overhead to pay and other german politicians are outraged by his remarks. windows. i can imagine that certain industries will simply stop producing for the time being . we see that everywhere now, life which depends on people's spending money, flower shops, organic shops, bakeries are part of it, and they have real problems because there's a reluctance to buy and then they're not automatically bankrupt, but they might stop selling. we can watch him think again and again, and he can speak pleasantly, but with all due respect, you could see how helpless he was yesterday on german television. one can only hope that the majority of german entrepreneurs were asleep yesterday. we are in the
12:15 pm
middle of a massive energy problem and to this day, they apparently haven't understood that this is the case. we have the stupidest government in europe resign. mister ha, back your continued tenure as the minister of economy of germany will lead to the collapse of the german economy. the greens are not politically bankrupt, they have just stopped doing politics. and at some point, when the crisis is over at the latest by the next election, then they will return again. unbelievable. he just has no idea what he's talking about here in france, a private company operating public swimming pools, that machine shut down dozens of facilities indefinitely. this week, citing energy bills equal to the company's annual turnover. french economy, minister billing, or the mazda is now offering bailouts to companies whose energy costs represent more than 3 percent of its revenues. yet another crisis where those 2 big to fail
12:16 pm
are saved by the government. but what about all the smaller suppliers and economic actors? they're also a part of the supply chain. can you really do without them? or are they going to be bailed out to is everyone just going to be billed out, kind of like in the initial days of cove, it metallic as to and 40 ceos of leading. you holdings have written a letter of sounding the alarm on the de industrialization of europe. we are deeply concerned that europe faces a critical situation for the foreseeable future with a perfect storm of sky high electricity prices, no energy market liquidity due to insecure gas supplies. a continued nuclear and coal phase out, and the remaining power sources being insufficient to cover market needs. the europe cannot have a successful energy and raw material strategy if it's power and gas prices stay at today's levels for a sustained period without relief. it's not just companies either, but also citizens who are getting fed up as the initial blows of the energy crisis
12:17 pm
are starting to be felt with protests across the block from germany, to france, to the czech republic and others still being plans fewer than 40 percent of citizens across $22.00 countries considered the situation in ukraine to be in their top 3 priorities. thus, according to a new you. gov, full cost of living and the climate tossed the list of those concerns. and in poland, at least one political figure proposes some innovative solutions for the looming winter energy crunch. one needs to burn almost everything, of course, aside from ties and similarly harmful things because poland just needs to be warmed up. is it possible for the e u to undo centuries of progress and enlightenment in just a few short months? if they were literally trying to do that? it's hard to imagine that they would go about it any other way than they are right now. newly appointed u. k. prime initial is trans has announced have planned for tackling the ongoing energy crisis. but she immediately faced by class from british opposition.
12:18 pm
politicians who say her proposal would actually fail to help ordinary people. it seemed that the government has decided to deal with this energy crisis of the facts of ordinary hard working greg with 150 years worth of golf under the grind and gp as hopefully motto to turner back on offers or some other time when people are facing huge energy bills. the prime minister is right to recognize that immediate support needs to be combined with longer term action. but i'm afraid fucking on a dash, a gas in the north sea will not comp bills nor sprint from our energy security. but they will drive a coach and forces drop efforts to fight the looming climate crisis. last class live now to alexander mackay political analyst and editor of red star radio. many
12:19 pm
thanks to join in for doing it on the program. it's lovely to see you on again. now the new british prime minister list trust is expected to wear reverse the ban on fracking to try and tackle the christ as to what that actually help bring down the currently soaring energy prices. that no, it won't nicky. just start it. it will take quite some time to actually develop fracking sites across the u. k. and that's assuming that there is a plan to do an extensive development of these. they run into a series of political problems last time. the government tried this 10 years ago, and there's no sign that they have a comprehensive plan to develop these energy sources to a degree that would actually impact upon the, the bills that people are paying at the moment. and like much of what else has been announced this week with regard to energy prices in the u. k. it seems that a lot of it is public relations. so the lifting of the battle cracking is public relations. and the, and the,
12:20 pm
the other stuff regarding the support to individual households, mainly around the freezing of energy prices that the current level of 2 and a half 1000 pounds a year. they have decided to go ahead with a strategy of essentially trying to stave off the crisis for the winter and hope that they can get into the spring of next year. and some other solution will present itself. so none of what has been announced this week actually deals with the, the long term problems that have been facing britain in the energy sector for almost 1st years, which are a lack of investment. they allowing of the nuclear industry to wither away. and the closing down of the coal industry and the attempt to replace it with renewables, which don't produce enough energy, nothing the list trust is announced this week shows that they have learned from any
12:21 pm
of the mistakes made by governments over the last 30 years. and one of those long term concerns as well would be the environmental concerns, should they reverse the band on fracking? and if they did, what kind of reaction would you expect from environmental activists? well, the environmentalists reacted very negatively. of course, when david cameron attempted to do fracking goal, extend fracking across the u. k. 10 years ago. but it's again the, it's a short term mis response from less trust designed to generate headlines mainly. and we'll make it look as if she is doing something. the problem comes down to the fact that we have a, an energy system in this country which is very unstable, which is run by private companies who are in trouble. long before the current. the current crisis broke out and the essential truth of what has been announced
12:22 pm
this week is that they are going to spend between 20214000000000 over the next 2 years. it's that the bank, right? pay the private energy, the sticky price is that $2.00 and a half pounds a year. now that's ready. significantly higher. it's 2 and a half times high of the property shall also paying for their energy costs this time last year. and so it stay, and this is at a time when energy, when not only energy costs are going up, but inflation is running at over 10 percent. and of course, personal debt in the u. k. is around about $30000.00 pounds per person. so again, this is a policy which is designed to get them through the immediate crisis, but i see no evidence that list truss or had chancellor quasi quad sank or any of the others in the cabinet have a longer term view than just evading the immediate crisis. just as they did during
12:23 pm
cobra, when they asked a lot of bailout, just many benefited very rich. and just as 14 years ago in the 2008 to 2010 financial crisis, they're now slow to bailouts. flooded the system with cheap money to get over the immediate crisis, but didn't really address any of the long term problems. what, what has been proven over and over again is that the british political class are incapable of coming up with long term plans to address structural issues with the british. many thanks for joining us on a program today we've been speaking to alexander mckay, political analyst on that. it's a red star radio. thank you. the washington say that once more countries to enforce a price cap on russian oil, the u. s. is particularly pushing the measure one last goes traditional allies, china and india, which have recently increased their imports of russian fuel. our hope is that
12:24 pm
countries like china and india will join the price cap, coalition, or take advantage of the price cap coalition to lower the amount of money that russia makes from oil exports. painting and new delhi, however, don't seem to be interested in complying with washington's controversial policy. now, says russia and china recently signed a new trade deal were paying for commodity supplies and their local currencies without using the us dollar. even some of the european countries that have compliant with price, the price cap of being skeptical about it, raising concerns that they could exacerbate the current energy crisis, where they could decide director of the political economy research group says it's highly unlikely that china or india would agree to impose the western lead price cap on russian oil. the fact of the matter. ready is that the chinese are able to buy russian energy as that it to do your costs. and so there is absolutely no reason for them to think in the price. capping. don't really ironic
12:25 pm
that on the one hand the rest is leaving the democracy and human rights. and on the other hand, in reality, western leaders, you know, like i'm really a bad babel actually boasting about they don't care what ordinary people think they're going to stick to the russian stones. i'm not sure that the oil price get can be effectively imposed. i number of the shipping companies, the insurance companies that are asked to actually implemented themselves, not comfortable about this because that would require them to do a lot of research and also it would make them live or breaking tanks. and so i think they are very reluctant to cooperate, but if the oil price gap, when it comes into effect, i think the russians have been people, other buyers of oil that they were brought into, testifying to the strengthening ties between russia and china. the countries recently held a round table devoted to the formation of a new,
12:26 pm
multi polar well daughter, the head of russia's foreign intelligence service. okay, notice came, pointed out that the vast majority of nations around the world have shown no support for the western sanctions. those young, some are status, get those, give me this meeting with chinese partners. is this on the similarity chinese and russian assessments of how the current situation in the worlds is developing c. once again confirms that the vast majority of the world's population has not joined the odious western campaign for the so called cancellation of russia by new a. moreover, the way disagreement with such an aggressive cynical policy of the total italian liberal western regimes are sounding louder and louder. border and independent specialist on china. andrew long say rushes east and partners, particularly beijing, antony, deli won't whisk that only economic development in order to comply with demands from washington. a host of a wall to the system. and so it all along lock,
12:27 pm
not going at all with the united states. the sanctions on russia, so you haven't gone wrong with the law. why should tire? obey this unreasonable proc, price care as it were, were china's been trading in normally, russia? why don't they the title with all this happening? busy shows that the so all american lead l s u b is, is really coming to an end more and more countries last why they should be at americans back all including the whole assembly united states and i like india. and of course, a lot of other countries have china love to speak with sidelines and all of those, you know, see why they should be paid the price and being caught in this american
12:28 pm
angeleah conflict with russia. great. so i don't think that the united states is beginning to see. it's no longer be able to call the shots 1st, my thing has a rapid between un peacekeepers and low calls in the democratic republic of the congo with a nice one passing reported killed in a recent finance. the me, the classes were council of the protest is on most advice blocked to un peacekeeping, convoy in the northeast and city of the 940 which you can the, the protests were triggered by complaints for the un mission has failed to protect civilians against malicious violence which is being raging and the country for yes, july. so some of the worst of the unrest when 30 to protest is on for peacekeepers were killed as buildings in several cities were set on fire. the un mission has
12:29 pm
been in the d. c for more than 2 decades and is already cost around $1000000000.00 . the peacekeepers are wise in the country back in 1999, but the dramatic increase in violence from armed groups has left 400 peacekeepers and 4000 civilians dead interest the past 2 years. the local contributor grew lane and belong, says many congress locals are becoming frustrated with the missions continued presence as people fear for their lives due to the ongoing violence the local population as be now yeah, talking about base declaring about this, saying that why we have a bay wellpaid mission in the world, especially with one more than 11000000000 dollars each year. and there is no peace in the country. the un, they have all the logistics,
12:30 pm
they have everything. but they used to say, or can we have to wait for the day security council decision when people are dying and are especially when people are being killed and women are been raped. but we have to wait for the security deck deck you n k, a concert security decision. so it's better for the you went to, to be efficient and are to make sure they can satisfy or buy peacekeeping and they're promoting peace ended that said the only one, such as say, satisfaction that can, can make people happy, especially the congress population. wish they are mandates normally eats or to protect the local population. but unfortunately, and that's not the case to haiti now where thousands of people have taken to the 3
