as to mar to dory in a couldn't my attire locked the door softly, shook were so could not believe we might i luckily i am free unless supply demand for me login mister mo. bumpkin free monica lucky roof, and which i love the sonata baba. how the killer deal, i wanted to run to, to borrow a diamond or not, and how will in the food for active? and i was saying there are concerns. this definition will increase the chances of a global economic recession. but the align speaking just now are saying that this is a responsible decision for them. their commitment is to global stability and the 30 minutes to saying we're not gambling here. re said we're not gamblers here we have to be very careful with the economy. so i think that this decision is going to go on a lot of criticism, but the focus on the folk is really for many being why now. why now should we be cutting oil supply when the prices are already sky high?

and the answer from the alliance being that this is a long term plans. so this is something that people there are just trying to, well, everybody really is just trying to get their heads around. and as the alliance continue to answer questions during this media conference, let's continue to listen in and of course, that during the day to day, we're going to speaking, speaking with plenty of experts who can help us understand this decision and what it means for the global economy, so let's listen in again. well, he had the ugly, amanda had not for the, you know, for the bad shot, not about so there should you can some more, some will, i mean can what i mean if you, how the law more once again, if you are just joining us, this is hey, in to national, we're bringing you rolling out now because we're, we're covering this later decision from the opec plus group. it's just been

announced that as early predicted, the crew will be reducing oil output by $2000000.00 barrels per day, which is listening in life to the media conference being held by the opec plus members. now, following best summit in vienna, and of course, a lot of a lot of questions being, being aimed at the alliance. now we're trying to understand what this actually means for the global economy. let's listen in now and try to find out and be shockey mcclure enough said walked, i say hello, if it can be it. i like that. was there yet for the home, or just the head for the piano for the enemy? well, as i said, we're going to speak to be speaking through plenty of experts throughout the day to help us understand this decision. and also we do the studio by our correspondent patrol, who's hopefully going to said some lines on the matter as well. so it just break down to what the latest decision by the opaque plus members means. while nikki,

1st of all, do you realize how tense a guy at one point in that room when the western journalists were asking the questions? indeed, it looks like this is turning into some sort of a cold war between the opec plus all producers and the consumers in the west. so what we break it down for you. so on the one hand, we have the intentions of the u. s. and the e u, which are crystal clear, that as to punish russia with lower oil prices by introducing a price gas. on the other hand, there's the group of all producers, cold, old pick, plus, which is surely interested in higher oil prices. and for years they have been achieving that through introducing a limit on their output. and guess who's running the show as the biggest flare when it comes to opec plus that is saudi arabia in russia. now i do want to point out that washington was working hard to convince or ridge gulf countries not to agree

to the output cut. so now the question is, what comes 1st for saudi arabia and it's golf allies, their own economic interests, or friendship with america and allies? and so today the answer was given, saudi arabia was chose to make a move that would drive the prices up. and this is something that shirley is said to weaken the efforts of the west anger the u. s. apparently. and at the end of the day help russia. yeah, i don't understand that the united states had pushed hard on not to proceed with the cuts, but of course it's gonna hit anyway. this comes on the very same day that those latest sanctions and the oil price cap was imposed as well. so, how successful has the wife been in punishing russia? you know, in light of the decision? well, you know, one month ago there was a decision made by the g 7 countries on the or prize capital in russia. and it was

meant to be accepted by the countries, but that was when moscow said loud and clear that it will stop supplying oil altogether. 2 countries which sign up to that policy because any of us, until when i look at these energy sanctions, i realize that we are energy midgets, and we impose sanctions on an energy giant. it's an unusual situation in history. and such action i think cannot lead to a good ending sanctions do harm to us. they are bad, they are painful. it costs a lot of money and threatened to swallow a great amount of our success we achieved in the past 10 years. it's the way it is, but it's an absolutely decision. if somebody tries to implemented it will not lead them anywhere. there are contract obligations to ensure supplies. i wonder whether any political decisions contradicting those contracts ought to be made. if so, we would simply not respecting the terms you would cease to supply natural gas,

crude oil, coal, and fuel oil. we would not supply anything if it goes against our economic interest . we will fully respect our contractual obligations unless someone tries to impose their own terms on those who are imposing their own terms. and those are not currently in a position to do so. they should think again, the book dates, and i'm sure you just want to make sure you get this right. b sides listening to vladimir putin. you just heard comments from the guerin prime minister, mr. victor or, or ben who was representing your country, one of the countries in the european union, which raised concerns over the plan for an oil price cap on russia. now, going back to the efforts of the western countries, wednesday was the day for you facials to take action and degree on the legal basis for the all press cap. it comes sort of covers maritime trade of russian oil. and

so they did. but for now though, there is no decision get on the actual price or the price range of the cap, this is something that will be negotiated in the near future. so stay tuned for the updates and also watch out for the oil price, which is set to react to the decisions made there in vienna at that opec plus summit as well. absolutely, it's going to be a very interesting day for the market. so anyone who's not interested in it might become interested today. alia, thanks for coming in and breaking things down for is a really appreciate your time. any of trying to stay with us. what earlier we say to energy jaylen is to read and slow of. he says that despite findings attempts to strengthen relations with ray and saudi arabia keeps playing for another team, i have seen that leann has been consistently distancing itself from washington for the past couple of years. i mean, president biden went to,

we had food supply and agree more oil supplies and he didn't get back. now saudi arabia, he say it wants to join the bricks alliance. and now they're talking about a very, very the production. so even if it's just a theoretical even if it just means bringing production quotas closer to the actual output, it says a very strong, single signal. i believe that saudi arabia is no longer playing on the u. s. c. h is moving on for a moment. the international community is representative to maintain peace in bosnia has spunk, can show the c by changing national voting law was following a pivotal election to the rotors to you. i want to say why you went to the polling places, vote i took decisions to ensure that

your vote will matter and you can buy credit to bill shall be done. this is necessary. so ph can that one's on its path to what's candidates to, to us in the european here. and here the high representative christian schmidt held sweeping powers in the country as part of the piece sailed at the end of the bosnian war in the 1990s. is that the changes to the voting law were meant to target certain state institutions that he denounced as dysfunctional, the us and what and supported the move, but despite claims that it would facilitate the countries future, accession to the e. u. a block itself did not occur though to support the measures. smith, however, has adam at least advise his opinion and has had some strong words against local politicians. rubbish, the rubbish. people. i'm not sitting and standing here, i'm term for this country. this is a tone that people have lost their lives and we are not to you just to make

political games. and in this country, people make positive ridiculous people. but the politicians and i am rid of this. this was the decision of the high representative alone. the executive powers of the high representative should be you solely as a measure of last resort against irreparable unlawful acts. we were astonished to that on election day, the high representative for bosnia and post significant further changes to the constitution which undermines bosnia and herzegovina, democracy, and institutions. and particularly, the will of the citizens are made use of their democratic rights. voters very clearly choose progressive, over nationalistic politicians. yet schmidt provokes another crisis with an unnecessary move that benefits the losers of the election. well, this is not the 1st control that he caused by a high representative of the office is traditionally held by someone from the you with his principal, due to a deputies from the us rush as denounced the current hi representative as quite

illegitimate. and so they protect, to where it should be ended well as cross live to our guests, even gaiety. now, professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. many thanks for joining us on the program. now have these changes to the law affected the election results? what's your view about these changes in general? all she made was problematic from day one because she is a high representative that it was not elected by the security council since both russia and china were against him. and which means that he is illegally holding this office. this office and on the other hand is also problematic by itself. because this makes bosnia protector at the not really a sovereign state. and it is not a sovereign state ever since the dayton peace agreement. so basically, schmidt is a recognized not by all sides, even in both. oh god, it will make a search kind of the serbian part of, of the country is not of even recognizing schmidt's as being

legitimate. now when, when it comes to this specific decision, i must say that it was somewhat fair to words the cross because the problem is that garage being the smaller the smallest community were always over voted by the boss, the x. so both banks are both in motion so so what happens is that there is a presidency with a representative of each of the 3 peoples. so serbs cross and boston logan moslems . and for the last 10 years, there was this man, jacob con sheesh who is formerly abroad, but he was constantly being voted by the boss, the x because he promoted, they're all in the gall interest. so this made a. busy category a creations,

very frustrated. so schmid decision is trying to overcome this frustration. however, they are also not satisfied with it, saying that still calm, she was elected again and he was so he will be the representative of cross, although he never represented them. lee, i mean majority of cross i disagree with this. so i think that nobody's been really happy with susan. so think that the understand the changes to the voting or when, when made following, following the voting. why would they be made beforehand? well because then it will search, it probably would have a certain endless debates and the smith wall vaughn wanted to avoid this. obviously maybe there was some secret diplomacy between him and the ex and cross side. i think that the serbs were born, distribute leadership was not even involved because they are and even want to meet,

which meant as they don't see him as a legitimate high rep. and also they think that the office of hired presented is a, you know, colonial office viceroy of similar to viceroy, india. the problem is that a schmidt has this so called born powers. and these powers were given by the obese implementation council in 1997. and this council has this steering board that consists of 7 western countries. ah, so it's canada, you can japan, france, germany and italy, western politically, of course, bloss rashaw. although russia was constantly marginalized, which means the, basically, the political west was always calling the shots. and, and now that, that smith's, it knows that he's on to he wanted, he used this window window opportunity when everybody would be concerned with

their election or results. so that he can go forward with this decision which is controversial, but he used this so called bon bon powers, which, which he can actually, i'm democratically do whatever he wishes in the country or coming to the response from moscow. russia was called the high representative christine smith, illegitimate. was he making those claims timing their rights because christos smith smith is elijah to months since he did not get the mandate from the security council of the united nations. and he's supposed to, as all the previous ones they did. so i think that the crisis, political rises in bosnia did not. and here, and especially in the old movie, cross federation, republican service, guys, again, it leaves its own life and it doesn't even bother with schmidt's statements, decisions, laws, unlawful laws, and so,

and so on. so i think that the assessment of russia is correct. but of course, i'm nothing girl will definitely change, i believe, until to some kind of a new arrangement for the country. and of course, snyder, serbs, north cross in bosnia, want to be dominated by the simple majority. because what about them wasn't? leadership always says they say all, let's make bosnia, you know, a country where. busy olds are equal and, and all the citizens are equal. but in fact, that would be that they mean that the country would be centralized and that the other 2 peoples would feel marginalized and be over voted the same way that cross or over voted for lost a standard 15 or even more years by the boss, the x because he there is more of boss nick so they can find their suitable cross

who will represent the interest of the saudi of leadership and not of the cross of bosnian category. the us and britain have supported the change to the law, but certainly you states have opposed a why do you think there's such a rift and we're daunting this among western countries? well, because the western countries themselves have different interests. i think that schmidt is probably, let's say, trying to go with the traditional german policy, which was in favor of cross during the of the wars of the yugoslav deals of wars of ninety's the civil wars. so he's supporting the creations on the other side. traditionally, the united states and u. k were so solely supported supporting bosnian muslims, so they're of course in the environments. busy busy of the war in the east of

europe in the environment where germany is afraid to say that the, you know, to so to, so at the perpetrators of those who destroyed and committed diversion on the north stream. and we, although, who had the interest to do that, and it was certainly not germany, nor russia, but they are probably trying to show their, let's say, for him fully political muscle on. busy petty issues in the larger scale and. busy the are definitely is one of those many thanks for joining us on the prior gram and token history there says stephen guy as a professor at the institute of european studies in belgrade. thank you. thank you . ah, let's get up to date on the latest from the ground in russia. ukraine conflicts. now. russia's defense ministry says the army is holding its positions across the denise river and the southern part of the front line having repelled attack spine

launch at enemy forces. heavy artillery fire is continuing to be exchanged. the russian military states that throughout the conflict zone about 700 ukrainian soldiers have been killed over the past 24 hours. me. while on the other side of the front saying video has a nice on line, apparently recorded by ukrainian soldiers who accused their commanders of giving criminal orders and abusing their regiments. our commander said, only the occupiers are there no civilians. so shoot all the buildings. cars throw grenades into the sellers. when we went there we lost our signal and we decided to wait until the morning. when the morning came, people began to come out of the sellers. among them was a young woman with a 3 month old child. to this we were told, well, this also happens, this is war. i consider that to have been a criminal order. an unconfirmed video emerged on line proposing to show one of the

units, one of the ukrainian units that are engaged in ukraine's counter offensive on the territory of what is formerly known now as the lo, ganske republic. now, who's part of russia and basically yeah, this is what they're saying. they have accused their command of giving criminal orders in general. they have gone into detail, into the level of anarchy and well lawlessness that is wide spread between their commanders. probably the most outrageous and concerning claim that they made was that their command, their superiors, that they made them and try to make them mast kill civilians. in one of the villages in one of the towns that the ukrainian forces had previously retaken from russian soldiers, among other allegations that they're made was the fact that they, for example, didn't have enough nutrition, enough rations. so they had to split whatever little food they had between everybody within their unit. and while her basically into tiny portions,

they also talked about how they did not have sleeping bags or mats. so they had to rest on cold ground. so many of them fell sick, some fell ill or with such diseases as tuberculosis, for instance. so there is that also they talked about how the command did not provide them with the, basically with our fire power, with enough heavy weapons to fulfill to basically, to fulfill their objectives to complete their missions. they also talked about how there were at least 3 units like that, including theirs. and as was the smallest one when it comes to man power. so they talked, or the whole video is just short of 15 minutes long. and they are basically going into much detail as to how they were treated. and they're saying that this video, the fact that they've recorded it, is basically their attempt to get some justice and to get the word out so that their commanders who gave criminal orders who basically treated them like

a cannon fodder. because this was something that they did hear from them that we didn't do not care how you complete the mission. you just have to do it and we do not care if you die. this was one of the quotes that they gave in that video, so that was their attempt to a justice and basically had a holding of ukrainian command accountable for giving and dishing out criminal orders and eyebrow raising revelation as care for the human rights chief ludmilla denisa has admitted that ukrainian intelligence agency asked her to push a fake news about the conflict. she was known in c, making not confession during a call arranged by well known russian pranks as both and, and lexus with one of imposing as of renowned american diplomat. you go, i'm what they told me, can you write that there is a prison at the upper o g a nuclear plant, because official media sources are supposed to say this? oh, well, no. the ombudsman didn't want to say it to. he only says what the president's

office tells him to be in baltimore. but i'm being asked to say this by the authorities, by intelligence service. it was a very interesting confession from your grains, former onwards man and a conversation with 2 russian, frank, or is the denise of apparently to for acts us some bass added to russia. michael mac full. this. how the prank or is introduced themselves. the woman admitted that it was intelligence that had asked her to spin numerous fakes about the russian army at the time of a bloody conflict unfolding between the 2 countries. she said that her fictional stories about the alleged atrocities committed by the russian army. how per be heard at the european parliament and at the end of the day, boosted military a to key if we can about what kind of stories she was making up. we all remember how denise of was particularly focused on describing sometimes and groom details, raping of children and sexually motivated crimes committed by the russian army in

the territories controlled by russian and joined forces. when it was discovered that these were all lies, she was immediately fired. and even her number of you for any m. p. 's and some policies and key if we're furious because a spoil ukraine's reputation. interesting that and we hear that in the conversation with a prank or is again the denise of it is now not happy with ukraine's current human rights chief, apparently because he refuses to do the job that she was so good at spread lies the us ambassador to pakistan, donald bloomington, hot water, tweets about visiting kashmir, disputed territory between pakistan and neighboring india, the american embassy in his, i'm about to squad, the region with the abbreviation, a, j. k, which is used by a local independence movement. for many years, the united states has been committed to strengthening educational opportunities for

residents of assad, chombo and kashmir. u. s embassy in islamabad. once again acknowledges pakistan occupied kashmir as a j. k. as i, gino and kashmir, a mistake repeated more than once as a decision, and in this case signal to india. multiple statements using a j k by a serving ambassador, especially that of a friendly country is a serious issue. and definitely one that warrants a response or at the very least to call to clarify, persisting and calling it a j. k. india has repeatedly said p, okay, is indian territory and we oppose tpc because it violates our sovereignty. the u. s . is aware visit could have been quiet without publicity. is the ambassador ill briefed or is this to convey the u. s. no longer considers it disputed territory? personally, if a sensitive issue needs to be dealt with sensitively, us, don't speak english me, it has certainly ever said indian, but it's also making exciting, analyze whether

u. s. v shaping is want to see when it comes to south asia. we've seen ever since the biden administration secret. oh, that's been of the alignment of thoughts between the relations of the 2 countries. focus on think us all this in the boss all over the scene. do you focus on on the chief general thoughts? was, was it to the fact again and that tweet and the usa saw you awesome. bother don't to focus on long with the, to focus on occupied because she, in that, that wasn't enough. the u. s embassy focus on pleated out poorly, e e g, which is all john when kashmir. i was on the independent terminology which is only used 5 focus on on his with it the u. s. on where to focus on. also this the u . s. government for to lighting, financial assistance, so we store certain heritage sites in that particular region. now this comes back

to all the fcc deal, which remember, dr. su shanker, was actually on the 1st minister or india slammed the by the administration's proposal, providing $415000000.00 worth of there's an military assistance to pakistan. nevertheless, as far as the visit all the u. s. envoy to be okay, i'm calling it ag all saw john when cushion you just said it has upset indians. they've taken twitter by strong many. thanks for keeping us company here. and i'll say international this wednesday, we'll be back in just a few minutes with well, ah, a wrong one, i just don't. i mean you've yes to say proud. disdain

becomes the attitude and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at that point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with

oh, never be a victory for russia. we solution with my to a new modem, but look at 8 me. crane war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. mezzo mom on made. it comes to not sure get done in carbon dioxide. america for sure. warren, you're not in your gage in conflict of russian for use. the american forces are here and defend nato allies with nato escalades even more than the special military operation become a war when you put them up. so that was the one that doesn't as much as i see it that i see your to us. thank you. custody of got what i mean with so i use 3 issue a unique and you stuff to with

only the still food that are in your sewage. never speak of the girl who's a not in the gambling business. i bet class officials defend their decision for slash oil output and get a calculated move to avoid global inflation despite cold from the us to pump out more crude. also this our, our commander said only the occupiers or their new civilians. so shoot all the buildings. cars throw grenades into the sellers, a group of cranium. those are the keys that come on to the ordering them to fire and pavilion areas inside the context. plus the.
