a, a with, as russia re, groups as forces with dozens of ukrainian troops killed and vehicles destroyed and heavy fighting party reports from the city on the very edge of the don bass. frontline. opec was officials say they're not gamblers as they defend their decision to slash oil production while calling for a more responsible approach to the global energy prices from western powers and look into it cuz you have a good back building. yeah, trying to okay. ketchup. we cannot afford pink eye chip b,

u. s. media are quick to call the cut a personal failure for joe biden, following months of unsuccessful efforts to convince opec to increase production. and the us national debt source to historic highs. as the country borrows more money to help finance the budget deficit i made 40 year high inflation rates ah, from. * mosque out to the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this our we began with the latest in the russia ukraine conflict where 90 ukrainian troops were killed and multiple military vehicles destroyed. and the cross mainly mon area on wednesday, according to the russian defense ministry. russia withdrew its truth from the strategic city in the dullness republic. last week to stop it forces from being

encircled by the ukrainian military. while the head of the done as for public says the situation around crosby lehman is stabilizing. some online media reports suggest russia is regaining some territories and a counter offensive. though there has been no official confirmation artes igor, it on off reports from the don bass front line. these rushes new defensive lines on the very edge of the fall, malagon sk republic before ukraine's counter offensive. this town, than far off from combat, was in the midst of revitalizing its peaceful, mundane life. now, all these efforts have been uprooted. herman ny, once again, a frontline tao. this is where russian crews fell free, successful counter offensive on this front. they are trying to learn by their mistakes and as they are building up their fortifications quite hastily. but what

is staggering to see here is that locals, they're going about their daily lives. they're just role. they go to supermarkets, the life just goes on for them as if nothing has changed since the ukrainians captured more territory and well came closer to their homes. many ran to safety as ukraine's troops approached, but many stayed 2 and often not out of desperation, but with a clear intention and principle at the foundation of this heart wrenching choice alleged it in the spring. as 3rd nath, i'm sure that the russian trips will not leave us. i want to believe in the boss until february, the 24th. i do not want war. and now i do not want to be with ukraine because it scare us right here. now it's carry, many people are leaving in a panic, hubert, many had last. the neighboring street is empty. you go to bed and you don't know if he'll wake up. do you know how long will it be? after all, we are human beings,

and we all have one lies. if you go to the hot locals here are defying the threat of inevitable persecution and even torture of the pro russian population. if the town fools, amid shillings, they go about their daily routine. the town's tiny mark had shrunk to a fraction of its former size for one merchant here, a personal, devastating tragedy conclusively solved the stay all leave dilemma. we'll, we'll talk more tropical every year for good people for them, for you. when you, when you mentioned russia is busy amassing troops on this part of the front. the garrison is partly made up of volunteer veterans who have been repelling caves outnumbering forces for weeks until receiving an order to retreat. reinforcements are being drawn here to answer your browser. we are trying to hold the territory in

russian help is coming. every one, support and fighting spirit is already rising. national to parts other. our troops are advancing. the artillery is firing accurately. the infantry are at their post disaster. the fighting spirit is excellent. every one is ready to fight for their land. boy, though russia lost control over large swathes of land over the past 30 days. now it's carrying out a total realignment of forces aiming to curb ukraine's advance stop it and restart the offensive. i'm a get done of reporting from the don bass art c. oh, oh pat plus members, including russia and saudi arabia have approved. a major caught around $2000000.00 barrels per day and their crude output is the biggest reduction in over 2 years designed to prop up prices on world markets. saudi arabia's energy minister explain the reasoning behind the decision. we are not in the gambling

business. we have to be careful, i have had 35 years of experience in this field. i would like to challenge anybody who could come and say, we've been to a situation assimilated as it is today. and if we are not to be a tentative or to take it lightly, lexia either did and look at what is happening, did backpedaling, they are trying to catch up. we cannot afford playing, catch you. so on the one hand, we have the intentions of the e, u and the u. s, which are crystal clear. they want to punish russia with low oil prices by introducing a price cap. on the other hand, we have the group of all producers called opec plus, which is surely interested in higher prices for years. they have been achieving that through limiting their output. and guess who's running the show as the biggest

players when it comes to opec plots, that's saudi arabia in russia. now i do want to point out that washington work hard to convince the oil which gulf countries not to agree to an output cut. so the number one question right now is what comes 1st to for saudi arabia and it's opec plus allies, their own economic interests, or friendship with the us today, the answer was given. opec plus decided to go for the move that would drive the prices up. this is said to weaken the efforts by the west, anger the u. s. apparently, and help rush up at the end of the day. now this is what perhaps led to the following exchange between a journalist and the saudi energy minister at that press conference in vienna. the gas price is widely seen in europe and much of the western world as having been

manipulated by russia, which is cut supply. people will know, see, so the arabia and the core members of opec, an opec plus, cooperating with russia and raised the oil price. it will with the simplicity of it will be the view there. do you want to twist it to, to your and fine? it's your prerogative. it's short, right? it's with we've been collaborating with opec plus countries ever since december 2016. so it's not an accident of, of mutual convenience if you could coordinate. this is not the only exchange between the saudi energy minister and the western media. the official refused to answer questions for murders accusing the agency of disrespecting saudi arabia and spreading inaccurate information about the country's policies. referring to an article based on anonymous sources,

claiming oil price collusion by reorder and moscow. alex solo from reuters news agency. i had 2 questions. specialist lennox. i have to talk to you about joe. yeah, i got it wrong. ok. i knew you hadn't got it wrong twice. you did. i did. i took, did not do a proper job. you talked about that i should doing this and that and actually the day that you as to it, he came out no one from marsha talk to me nor i talked to anybody from rush. you repeated that again with another 10 of a story. be priority to that. that is, how would you address your level of le congregating at all into 100 dollar price that is not to but if you have questions dedicated to others, but not me, i'm not talking to roy until you would expect those shows, which is the energy minister on behalf of showed you government the move kind of

the same day, the e, you agree to a price cap on russian oil to start in december and a new round of sanctions. the new bands, maritime transportation of russian oil saw the above the cap, sat by g 7 members. hungary who is prime minister has repeatedly question the effectiveness of the e. u. sanctions. policy stressed earlier that this moved doesn't cover pipeline oil . moscow has responded, stating it will not sell oil to those unwilling to pay a fair market price. so the managed news oil prices are 37 percent higher than last year, in case the price gap mechanism is implemented. i would not rule out arise in prices since there might be a deficit. any country that will now be buying our resources, we'll have to make a decision on whether it will pay according to the market instruments, which means making purchases on a competitive basis. if the decision is made by a company on its own, it risks not receiving the resources, since that would mean no profits for russia and would likely lead to a decrease in the extraction and relocation of resources. whitehouse has reacted

angrily to the plan for production cause calling it short sighted, but some media outlets have labeled to move a personal failure of us president joe by then as it may push gas prices up a month before the country's mid term elections. the production cuts were agreed upon despite the by ministration, reportedly making last minute efforts to convince gulf states to abandon the plan and adding insult to injury joe biden, himself as being mocked over the opec production cars after he was caught on mike during his trip to florida, the president says no one with a bite and good and peers. opec plus has done just that fight and went to saudi arabia to beg for oil and opec told him to go up himself and reduce supply by $2000000.00 barrels guarantee. and gas prices go up before the election fight and

says on hot mike, no one f with a biden, except for the saudis. joe biden, no one f with a biden. opec independent journalist option returns the says that any country is unwilling to go along with washington and brussels will have to play a balancing act. bon leah a's on march. the u. e and saudi arabia reportedly refused to take jo biden's phone calls in the just a few months later, the saudis refused to increase output during biden's visit to reared. then on the 4th of october, there was a campaign from the white house saying come on increase output. and then we see today's carter should say the u. e 160000000 barrel decrease. $526000000.00 you cuz my russia and saudi arabia each. i'm just going to tell you that the white house officials are being quoted on argue bill margery stenographer. the u. s. media has

st. quotes disappointed by the short sighted decision, basically from saudi you, a rusher, other members of opec, and a kind of threat. some way to argue that by the administration, according to these anonymous source has been graded on us, i was, will consult congress in addition to working with already to reduce opec's control over energy prices. it is a balancing game, but then again, the international, the strategic, sorry, no internet. we american strategic petroleum reserve, the united states before this decision, we're looking like they were back in the 1980s when, arguably they could order the way in saudi arabia more washington could. and now i think in the past a few minutes, the u. s. is already saying they're going to have to release more from that strategic petroleum reserve. so it's a balancing act for developing well countries. but many commentators, even in the washington belt, we're having to admit is a change times. and of course, looking towards it,

even though not reporting on it. the sam again shang i, cooperation organization, meeting that alone. what's going to be happening in brazil later this month. and the bab selection of lula and the expansion of bricks. poland wants nuclear weapons on his territory or saw says it has discussed the possibility of joining nato's nuclear sharing program with the u. s. washington however says is unaware of the request, but the polish president seems adamant that he wants nuclear warheads in the country. the 1st problem is that we do not have nuclear weapons. there is no indication that poland will get them in the near future. but there is always a potential to participate in the nato nuclear sharing program. we have spoken to the u. s. leadership on whether they are considering this possibility. it's an open issue. the nuclear sharing program enables those nato states without atomic weapons to participate in planning their usage by the block. it also allows the states to

apply for storing a portion of the block nuclear arsenal on their own territory. so far, the u. s. is the only nuclear power in the alliances relocated some of its atomic weapons and other member states, namely belgium, germany, italy, the netherlands, and turkey. now this comes as western media is accused of creating hysteria by claiming russian president vladimir putin is prepared to use nuclear weapons in ukraine. moscow has firmly denied such allegations saying that initiating a nuclear war is unacceptable. co director of the international action center. sarah flounders says poland is simply occurring favor with the west. poland wants to do everything they can to be of service to nato and the us government in this war. and every escalation,

every way that they can find to further help that escalation. they will certainly do might be a statement of symbolic importance, but it adds to a whole fever pitch that the u. s. is creating of a risk of nuclear war use of nuclear weapons in your us may not officially at this point, claim that they're calling for this. they certainly are in every pronouncement in every media story about nuclear weapons being a potential to be huge. they're raising the threat the connections between washington and big tech companies are coming under increasing scrutiny as a conservative legal group has to be at the i for failing to disclose the agencies ties to networks like facebook and their censoring of some controversial content. our keys, caleb mob been has more on the story. well,

the notion that big tack is very much colluding with the democratic party, almost functioning as a wing of the democratic party has been around for quite some time. however, we now have this non profit going ahead the lawsuit against the api. i basically demanding that they make their records public disclose their relationship with the big tech companies. so the whole us public can know the truth about their relationship. the evidence is that during the 2020 presidential election campaign, the f. b, i conspired and combined with large corporations, including facebook, to sensor and suppressed the damning evidence of bite and family corruption and influence peddling, found on hunter biden's laptop. this was done to help joe biden and the democrats when the 2020 election, now arrogantly disregarding the law, the f, b i as stonewalling, america, 1st legal efforts to expose the f b. i 's emails detailing the trade craft behind this collusive attack on our

elections and identifying the persons inside and outside of government who were responsible for it. 2 months ago, mark zuckerberg, the ceo of facebook admitted on a podcast that he was approached by the us security agencies and asked basically to suppress the on tier biden laptop story. because they believed it was possibly our likely to be what they called russian dis information. this was that bombshell admission from mark zuckerberg. and basically the background here is the f b i, i think basically came to us some, some folks on our team. okay. just so you know, like you should be on high alert. there was the we, we thought there was a lot of russian propaganda in 2016 election. we have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump of um ah, that's similar to that. so just be vigilant. now, it's also important to note that 100 biden's former business. so see it at this

point has come forward and said that the, the i really showed no interest in all the evidence he provided, showing 100 biden's wrongdoing than his crime. that seems like they just weren't interested in getting the fax on 100 by years what the former business associate had to say. they were supposed to be working a follow up interview and tim chemo. in his last discussion with my legal counsel was listen, we know tony's cooperating. we appreciate all the information is provided. we will follow up with you. we're definitely going to have them come in for a follow up interview or spend some more time on this. and i haven't heard from them since. now this seems to reinforce the notion that the f b, i just really had no interest in investigating the crimes of the biden family and the president's family members. now at this point, we're also seeing with ilan mosque assuming leadership of twitter, some pretty blatant examples of how solidly twitter. ready in the democratic party camp, there are reports circulating about twitter employees cry in the song,

should i stay? where should i go is being played in the twitter cafe. and it becomes apparent that a number of twitter employees are afraid that the company may be moving in a different direction. perhaps the algorithms are going to be a little bit different. perhaps different tweets are going to be circulating the way new speeds are going to be operating will be different and it won't be the standard liberal line. so when we look over all the facts here with his new lawsuits and other revelations that have happened, it becomes pretty clear that the stranglehold that the democratic party has over the tech giants and their control over information and discourse in the united states is becoming more and more obvious, furthermore, there is more and more outrage about the president of the ego forum at martin and says, american should be wary of the actions of the f. b. i with flipped over what was a, a warning from ronald reagan marana ragged famously said, trust and verify in america right now when it comes to our intelligence community.

when it comes to the f b i, it's distrust and verify. our starting point is that we've been misled. we've been misled another example as on january 6th. there's a guy named ray apps. none of the api i will answer positive or negative. what re ups was doing that day. looks like he was breaking the law according to api. they won't answer the question. we know our intelligence community has a problem. they don't tell the truth, and so we're not going to trust them and we shouldn't trust them until they can prove until they can verify what they're saying. and the bigger problem very candidly, is that big tech is an aiding and abetting. but so is our big media and big media is happy to run these stories. you'll have john brennan, who has admitted he lied under oath to the u. s. senate. he will be on tv and he'll be saying things about what's going on that are, there's no reason to believe is she's true, he's a, he's an admitted liar in the past. so we've got a real problem right now in this country. and the good news is we have an election and just a 5 or 6 weeks that will, i think change the dynamic a lot. ah,

the us national that has that a new world record of $31.00 trillion dollars. that's more than double the dad of the 2nd biggest borrower, china. the u. s. economy is facing 40 year high inflation in response to federal reserve has been increasing interest rates, which are expected to hit their highest level since 2007. the policy has also led to a 3rd of the u. s. dollars value. sparking a warning from the un amid fears of a global recession, with the economies of developing nations said to be especially vulnerable. the un says there's more than one way to lower inflation rate. market surveillance authorities could be monday to, to intervene directly in exchange, trading on an occasional basis by buying or selling derivatives contracts with a view to efforts and price collapses, or deflating price bubbles. despite the spiraling debt on the homefront,

washington isn't shying away from coughing up even more cash and support for ukraine. the us has approved a total of around $54000000000.00 and military economic and humanitarian aid for so far this year. on top of that, joe biden has approved a new bill with another 12000000000 bucks worth of help to ukraine. geopolitical and market analysts, tom longo says there's a growing rift between the u. s. federal reserve and the white house. this is very clear that the fed and congress and the white house are odds where the fed does. that is at odds with what the congress wants to do and what the white house wants to do. and i think that that's a very important points important. i've been making for about a year and a half now since last year when the fed began. what i would call stell tightening by, by adjusting every capital re called the reverse repo rate, which when they raised the 5 basis points above the fed funds rate, the, the nominal benchmark rate lending rate that cause

a tremendous drain of what whittier dollar put it around the world since then, the reverse repo facility had about $450000000000.00 parked in in june 2021. today . it's, it hit a high about $2.00 trillion dollars last week. and i think there's been a little bit of movement out of that in the last couple days, but, you know, that's it. but the, the numbers are staggering. that that's all what you would call base money for the global economy. and. ready so the fed has been actively draining the world of dollars from overseas knowing full well that it has to try and get inflation under control. and, but at the same time, i also don't believe that it's that's the, the feds only mission here. i think that is actually very stealthily trying to put political pressure on washington to change the way it's been operating for the last . you know, since the 2000 and financial crisis, british prime minister lives trust is facing record low approval ratings. with some members of her own tory party thing, her government has had the worst start of any

u. k. cabinet in history. while trade unionists accuse trust of serving the rich and ignoring the needs of the people. 6 months, we've seen the decadence and the corruption of the ruling class in this country. and i use that word deliberately. these people, they are acting in the interest of their people. and the characteristic of the rich and the owning class is that i can store the wealth and consume a greater rate than we do. that would be an energy crazy. there weren't any energy . there is an abundance of energy. 50 percent of our energy is produced in our walters. the problem is, who owns the energy? the rich only energy, and we're gonna have to subsidize their profits under anyone tell you that they are subsidizing us. we pay tax to support our people not to subsidize the rich

a. so taking off as a month ago truss has thrown the british economy into turmoil by introducing tax cutting measures that she eventually chose to forego a med outrage from the public. the move would have lifted a limit on bankers bonuses and introduced welfare cuts and another round of austerity that has come to be closely associated with the prime minister's conservative party. earlier this week, more than 2000 people took to the streets of birmingham to disrupt the conservative party conference, where truss and other tory leaders were expected to speak. the crowd brandished anti war banners while calling out the rich for making people very. that's one of the economic crunch. journalist and former labor party member, roger mackenzie, says britain's are fed up with their government. chances are thousands of workers

have had enough of being treated like rubbish and being told that they're somehow um, an antique o alicia. and i'm also like against gross or against and the economy where they stand up for their jobs must be caught for to put bread on the table at moments they can't afford to barely keep a roof over their heads. the super rich, i'm simply look after themselves and to look after each other and expect i am working people the working class just to survive, barely survive. and frankly, they don't even care whether we survive or not. sorry, kaufman felt that they could. and some higher. um channel money away from working people towards actual statements than to richard from the conservative party people in aust cheap. i can see that i'm they can see a government her mom is not allowing protest it's,

it's completely an array just to thing that work. april, i kind of accept the current situation that we're in, i can see right through the statements. and i understand and that this government to governments of the rich by the rich whole the rich and that we need to bells and where i can class movements. and they're going to stand up to them. environmental activists from green piece disrupted a speech by prime minister trust at a conservative party conference. they unfurled a banner questioning the government's reversal of the fracking ban before trust to ask security to quote and get them removed. you can find the full video and more on our tea india's telegram channel. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah,

ah ah . mm hm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic, development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult. time. time to sit down and talk a

crate will never be a victory for russia. ukraine war is a proxy war. this is a war between russia and the united states. to milan are made, it comes to last. you get the nin cowboys. america forces are and you're not in europe. engage in conflict with russian forces. the american forces are hearing, defend nato allies. nato escalates even more in the special military operations become a war, though when you put them up. so that will be rules that demonstrate that all the notion is my idea that i see if they do us could victim costliest through me with. so i use believe he should week and you stuff.
