[000:00:00;00] a a russia accuses ukraine's president. i'm trying to start a world war after vladimir zalinski calls on nato to launch preemptive strikes against russia. the u. s. considers is response to opec's decision to cut oil production, including over relations with saudi arabia. as biden's, lobbying and riata to keep oil exports up failed to achieve its aims. as the u approves, in a package of anti russian sanction, serbia says they could effectively cut off the country from russian oil supplies,

while some european leaders war national economies will eventually break as a result with from moscow to the world. this is r t international. i'm rachel blevins and these are the top stories this our moscow says, the ukranian president is calling for the start the world war. that's after vladimir zelinski urge nato to carry out a 1st strike against russia shovel. when little booth it, what should nato do? eliminate the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons. i once again appeal to the international community as it was before february 24th. we need preemptive strikes, so that russia would know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons. not the other way around him to wait for rushes nuclear strikes and then say, oh no. okay, then take this job who died?

a voice. let's cross live now to our teeth. caleb mob been for more on this story. caleb, it's good to see you. now this is certainly a controversial statement coming from the ukranian president. so what impact could it have on the development of the conflict overall? well, the remarks that we heard from the ukranian leaders simply don't match the portrait of reality, that those who observe the situation are aware of, for example, we have washington saying they're not aware that russia would even be capable of using a nuclear weapon. and we have other words from washington saying that they are not sure that, that such a plan or possibility would even be in the worse. and at this point, we have russian officials coming forward and saying these very serious words that we've heard from the granting president have very serious ramifications. he's calling for a new world war. now this is the reaction from russian officials. so

this statement by president zalinski must be taken into consideration by every country in the world. and especially washington london in the you states, such statements are nothing else but a call to initiate a new world war with unpredictable disastrous consequences. and they mustn't go unnoticed by the west. the west is fueling nuclear war. every person on the planet must realize, the unhinged puppet presidents. lensky bumped full of weapons, has turned into a monster whose hands can destroy the planet. and this should be a wake up call to anyone who falls for the claims. the key fob is making that they want peace. if you want peace, you don't call for pre emptive strikes and a nuclear escalation. and that seems to be what the ukranian president has done and it fits a pattern of escalation here. now, recently we saw the polish leader go as far as saying that poland was willing to host nuclear weapons from united states. when i had states as it has no plans to

put nuclear weapons in poland and is important to note that the government and kyo is at this point, dependent on loans from the west of there were not being financially propped up by nato financial propped up by the united states in particular, and there was not a constant inflow of weapons that government would have fallen either the key of government is very much dependent on the west. and it seems like their strategy here is to escalate as much as they possibly can to try and make this conflict as serious as desperate as extreme as they possibly can. and at the same time, claim that they somehow want, he saw that this is all about wanting fees. what you're calling for pre emptive strikes against russia. that's not calling for peace. and it looks like in desperation we have the government of kyo, essentially calling for world war 3, trying to escalate things as much as possible. putting the whole world in danger.

ortiz caleb mop, and thank you for that update. earlier we spoke with a panel and guest about the potential consequences of such statements. here's what they had to say. if there was any doubt thus far, he is unhinged. i am concerned for his mental health. he is obviously willing to risk nuclear armageddon to preserve his regime. and i don't think that russia or other state leaders are that are dealing with him. can any longer consider him to be a rational actor. and we also have to take this in the context of his recent actions . he has ordered his military forces in the law over the last 2 months to continually shell and attack with kamikaze drones. the zappa rosure nuclear power plant, whatever his absurd denials to the contrary. if western leaders do not immediately denounce his statements and back away from it,

i think we have to consider them complicit if they go back in any way. russia, that's a 3rd world war because russia is going to retaliate against all nato member states . and that would be the end of, of europe and perhaps over humanity once we start playing these kind of games. and i cannot understand why the leaders of the, of the west are urging themselves to commit suicide. i cannot understand that. i don't think they've learned last since from history because i don't, i don't think they know history. i mean that especially in the united states. yeah . i mean, we should look to the cuban missile crisis for how to get out of it. you know, john f kennedy worker and, you know, he worked hard to negotiate

a deal with crew chef. it was a given take. he agreed not to attack cuba. he agreed to take nuclear weapons out of turkey in return for crude, taking the missiles out of cuba. that is the type of negotiations we need today. but you don't see any of that happening from the us. you don't see the u. s. helping i to negotiate a solution and back you see them interfering to prevent solution from being agree to. so that is very, very troubling us. secretary of st. anthony blanket claims the us is exploring a range of options in response to the opec plus decision to cut oil production as washington is reportedly desperate to secure cheap oil imports from venezuela and is said to be and talks to ease sanctions on the mid euro government and exchange

for energy supplies. this comes after the opec plus group decided to slash its oil output, which is expected to keep fuel prices high. meanwhile, the largest us oil trade groups wrote a letter to energy secretary jennifer granholm saying they are very concerned that washington is considering limiting its fuel exports in order to lower consumer prices. they said this move could only disrupt the global markets, reduce domestic refining capacity and alienate us allies that says, joe biden is being called out by a prominent fox news host over the sabotage of the nordstrom gas pipelines, from russia to germany. where might some americans have gotten the notion that the, by the ministration might have been involved directly through a proxy in the destruction of the north stream pipelines? why would they think that they surely didn't watched on russia today? or t has been pulled off the air. well maybe they learned from joe biden himself,

he's the president. there will be no longer the norse job to we will be going to do the secretary state in the bite administration mr. tony blanket bragged about how great the sabotage of north stream was and we're quoting, it's a tremendous opportunity, said tony blanket. it's a great thing. not a tragedy. a victory. the host of our canes world's apart. oksana boy co joined my colleague nikki aaron in the studio earlier to break down the ramifications of the opec plus production cause. white has already described this move as a hostile act, and it's a very interesting wording because if you start from a promise that the rest of the world is supposed to be serving your interest, done everything that's for your interest would be forced to act. but saudi arabia, in many of the opec members, are considered traditional u. s. allies. and the fact that they have pretty much ignored, very, very active american law being shows that things are changing in the world. and

countries are starting to pursue their own interest. the white house has yet again tried to put all the blame on russia, but i think the current division shows the even closest american alice and no longer paying attention to anything that's washington is saying, or doing and directly pursuing their own interest just last september. and youth came out that while the united states is facing such a major shortage of oil, it's sold around $10000000.00 barrels out of the strategic or the reserves to the chinese, to the chinese company. some shares of which are owned by a hunter biden's investments for him. so while the situation is pretty, pretty dramatic, this profit hearing very glaring, very obvious profiteering still goes on and, you know, it's, it's pretty amazing to see how the all schemes continued despite the fact that the situation is pretty, pretty daring. and i'll guess today off of this decision was made, i spoke to the former advisor to the saudi any day minutes. and he said, you know,

this decision is not emotional is not politically scientific as a scientific decision. it's no different but it's it's serving bab jack to practical national interest the it's interesting to see that they have the stamina to do that, primarily because the vitamin ministration has been everything to alley and they mot menu with allies. the ear is the only one that seems to be left in the so called american camp. and surprisingly, the in your is, you know, it is a book of countries. it has absolutely no oil reserve. it would be interesting to see how they will be doing with, with that patricians, unlike the year the united states does have its own strategic all reserves and the bite an administration has been living happily when it's over the last year. the besides that reserve diminished by almost a 3rd from more than 600000000 barrels to some with about 400000000 barrels. and the vitamin ministration announce yet again,

that they're going to release another $10000000.00 to try to heat to try to ease the markets and those, those additional barrels will hit the market right around the time of the mid term elections that may provide some response. but the problem is that when you are emptying your reserves on such a short term perspective, the time to pay for that will come and it will come very soon because those reserves will have to be replenished and they will have to be replenished a much higher prices, so it's essentially they are trying to use that strategic reserves to aid the biden's standing in the polls. but even if they win, even though the democrats, when they will have to address that problem, a couple of months down the line, not even a couple of years, a couple of months. there are public of korea and the u. s. were reportedly hold joint maritime exercises on the 7th and 8th of october in response to north korean missile launches. this comes as

a south korean ballistic ballistic missile malfunction and crashed on the outskirts of a military base on wednesday during a life fire dro conducted with american forces. the crash which occurred amid heightened tensions with north korea, cause panic among local residents, municipal official in this city where the incident took place accused the government of using taxpayer money for weapons that threaten the country. his own people, the short range missiles equipped with a war head that didn't at nay upon impact, no casualties were reported. now the exercises began, days after you, as vice president comma harris visited south korea and a show of solidarity with ceo as neighboring north korea ramped us has of its own strategic arsenal. earlier this week, north korea test fired a missile over japan into the pacific ocean. in response,

japan and the u. s. urged the un security council to take action accusing russia and china of enabling the north korean nuclear program. russia has said that the sanctions against north korea have come to a dead end without achieving the desired results. dpr k has enjoyed blanket protection from 2 members of this council. these 2 members have gone out of their way to justify that dpr, kay's repeated provocations and block every attempt to update the sanctions regime . in short, 2 permanent members of the security council have enabled kim young on. this is a clear effort by china and russia to reward dpr k for their bad actions and cannot be taken seriously by this counsel. i leave you a credit on the colon choose, you must, china and russia have tabled

a joint resolution of the dpr k with the intention to ease the humanitarian situation on the ground, create a favourable atmosphere for mutual trust among all parties, and resume dialogue on the korean peninsula issue, the un security councils deliberations should contribute to dialogue rather than fueling escalation. and while russia and china insists that the joint us south korea drills in this office, civic per boca north korea, the us ambassador to the un rejected the remark, saying, there is, quote, no equivalency between these 2 activities. earlier, north korea also accused washington and its allies of threatening it with joint journals in the military. build up. independent journalist eric sohmer believes that north korea sees it's nuclear and missile programs as a necessary deterrent against perceived aggression. i should say on behalf of china, because i'm a permanent resident of china,

that chinese position all along has been that there should be no nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. china is close to further nuclear proliferation. and so as russia differences, they understand why north korea is resorting to this extreme measure because it took re united states as military forces stationed in south korea, adjacent right to north korea since the korean war. and just before the recent missile test is conducted, yet another large scale, a military operation or military exercise alongside the south korean army. so it's not hard to imagine the mindset of north korean leaders who seen this and

think we better show that we're not like iraq was some years ago when i said, well terms of mass destruction, but it didn't have any. so it was invaded and now to the latest from russia's her san region where the ukrainian military has attacked a key bridge using americans applied high mars missiles. russian air defense system was down the projectiles, at least 5 of them before they could land at their target. as you can see here in this footage, several plumes of smoke were spotted above the anton of ascii bridge, which stretches or crossing never river. local authorities say there were no casualties as a result of that ukrainian attack. given them a cross in the russian republic of dun nascar t war correspondent andre fo laptop has been wounded for a 2nd time while covering the military conflict. he was hit by shrapnel while preparing a report about an ongoing battle in the area. now i'll warning the following footage,

contain some graphic content repaired from your new milk or new you. i was hit again. another small wound. i don't need any metal for this is awesome. great achievement. had me right here in my hip. it's not a big deal. i'll go get an x ray. it probably didn't strike any of my bones so it's nothing to fuss about. i'll recover from this and return to work. however, ukraine says it's determined to hunt down anyone it believes to have collaborated with russia british tabloid. the daily mail has published an article about the apparent extra judicial killings. it's a, it's a former senior official as saying that ukrainian troops can even shoot such suspects on site. a man hunt for collaborators has been declared their lives are not protected by law or intelligence services or eliminating them, shooting them like pigs. the daily mail revelations come as a surprise as its attic hell contains

a number of accusations against the russian military and russian intelligence allegedly committed atrocities. but a significantly bigger part of it is all about her merciless ukrainians are hunting . all those loyal to the russian forces and joint forces administrations on the ground and killing them like pig. this is something that one would never expect from a democratic country. ha, that's the west bush's everybody to believe ukraine is. the article also says that has revenge killings orchestrated by ukraine. special forces have been recently increasingly well organized. here's another quotation. let's take a listen. others are being tracked down and slaughtered by resistance fighters. a list passed to this newspaper by a key government source identifies 29 such retribution killings with 13 morrison nation attempts that left some targets wound it. well, it's true that we never heard things like these from a daily mail kind of media,

but it's left for the 1st time that we learn about key regimes. war on all those who are they believe and collaborating with the russian and join forces on the ground earlier r t made an exclusive report on as we, you agent to. yep. and that to whose job was to organize terror acts and murders targeting pro russian politicians throughout harrison's region. and earlier this week, we heard at personal advice from ukraine's vice prime minister sane collaborators run away. that a tragic thing is that keeps term collaborator is in fact include a very wide range of people from those who actually held the russian military on the ground to those who simply agreed to receive humanitarian aid from moscow. so literally, anyone who agreed to stay in the area after russians to control, we now hear reports about massive arrests of teachers. doctors sit ordinary walkers and the areas left by the russians and we year that's up to 40 people,

get detained every day. this is what ukraine's defense ministry says, and i have to remind you that these are just normal, simple people doing their everyday job. and even some of you, politicians started questioning this kind of democracy. let's take a listen. the e u says ukraine is fighting to defend democracy from authoritarianism, brushes, authoritarian but western governments plus the media are misinforming by failing to call out anti democracy measures in ukraine, while dissenting voices in the e you are being silenced. this is also authoritarianism. getting back to daily mail publication, the feeling is that although admitting that ukraine is behind a great number of revenge killings, the paper is somehow just to find them by saying but yet another uncomfortable truth is that some ukrainians have indeed been assisting russian administrations on the ground while the fact that later they were hunted and killed like pig is

actually not considered as uncomfortable. these kinds of stories simply do not go with the general narrative being cultivated among western outlets. which would like for their audiences to believe that ukraine is a thriving democracy, some kind of beacon of freedom in europe as opposed to the state of fascist terror in which ukrainians find themselves today. some of those who were quoted in this daily mail, these include anti garrett shank, both that interior ministry advisor, who is one of the founders of the middle board, it kill list i was placed on that kill list last week, many journalists, i know who work with rti have been placed on this kill list, but all of that again is not being reported in mainstream media either. or german media outlet has rebound a claim by key as defense, ministry alleging russian soldiers tortured people in

a northern ukrainian town. that allegation came out. your cranium troops said they haven't covered a box filled with hundreds of gold feet and territory previously held by russia. ukraine's defense ministry treated about the discovery claiming the crate was found alongside what it called torture tools. after the ukrainian allegation went viral, a crew from germany's build magazine visited the town and found a local dentist who said the teeth were actually part of his personal collection. he was directly asked about if the chief had actually come from the deceased. oh my gosh, no, they come from people i've treated over the years. i pulled those teeth out because they had gone bad. and i've been a journalist, jason, michael says ukrainian media is a propaganda machine that tries to work with europe's deepest fears. in the european imagination, when we look at images of golds fillings from peace,

we think of immediately think of such i'm the extractions teeth from that all these during the holocaust after the gathering of jews. this is a very clever image and one that you know, resonates with one of your deepest fears. and of course this. ready war is very much the mobilize ational ideas in the west against the east, i guess in particular, so yes, if this had not been debunked, this was a very powerful image. and one that would be want to convince a lot of viewers who wouldn't be otherwise looking to dig deeper into the story, to reaction feet from key will be very much the same as we got from, from the book in the past. this essentially what we're looking at in a propaganda machine is looking to utilize our unique information, the well on the is certainly when it comes to claim for the last people we should

be lying on court confirmation. this, the claim of genocide are the lakes of joe biden. the american president and european leaders. these are positive on off east. meanwhile, the you has officially adopted as a package of sanctions against moscow, including the 4 territory. so recently joined russia after referendums there the new restrictions include a price cap on oil imports from russia by sea. although pipeline supplies are not affected. imports of some russian goods, including steel, paper and plastic are now also ban. plus the measures prohibits some e u. exports true, russia, such as coal aviation equipment and certain chemicals. while the sanctions are aimed at russia, serbian officials say they are the ones who will have to pay the prize. and even in the you itself, some top officials or warning that europeans will bear the brunt of the political

decisions made and brussels. the european union has again proven that is as a club of countries that once had their soldiers install and grad. the only consistency in its policy is revenge upon free people. serbia was forbidden to import russian oil through the adria attic pipeline. but bo guerria was not. serbia is forced to buy more expensive iraq oil and thus lose hundreds of millions of euro's the could have been use more effectively. we are risking a massive d industrialization of the european continent and the long term consequences of that might actually be very deep. our populations are getting invoices which are completely insane. at some point it will snap. i understand that people are angry. people don't have the means to pay for it. does they? western resistance, the world has irreversibly change, and states should accept the new reality. the russian foreign ministry has urged that as russian officials called on countries to recognize the referendum and the

don mass and the hearse on an zapper. oh, she regions international observers including those from italy, germany, venezuela, latvia, and other states. more than 130 people over all who followed the referendums have recognized their results as legitimate. we call on the you and member states to accept a new inevitable reality dictated by life itself and based on the free expression of peoples. will this appeal comes as western states are pushing for the un to adopt her resolution denouncing russia for what they say is an annexation of former ukrainian territories. officials are using all means to convince potential allies to condemn russia, including messages, phone calls, personal interactions, and public statements. the draft document is expected to be voted on next monday during an emergency session convened after russia vetoed a similar proposal at the un security council. the new document aim is to isolate moscow, which is in turn,

branded the draft resolution as sham not worth supporting one sustain on a secret ballot instead of a public vote. this is a clearly politicized and provocative development aimed at deepening the divide in the general assembly. the recent discussions in the security council clearly showed that his pen holders of the draft, the usa and albania, demonstrated no real willingness to negotiate and search for compromise, but rather try to impose on the rest of the counsel already made document built around their own political priorities, we have all the reasons to call it a sham resolution. as its only aim was to provoke a russian veto. the backlash against russia was prompted by the recent referendums and don esque and lou gone square publics along with the hearse on end zapper. she regions an overwhelming majority of over 90 percent of the total balance cast voted in favor of joining russia. but the people's will hasn't persuaded the u. s. or the

e. you who insist the vote was illegal. russia's 1st deputy permanent representative to the un points out that washington itself is guilty of using and democratic methods to retain its influence. i think that the u. s. is viewing the whole world as it's playground sounds the you and that's something that should really rubber stamps the decisions that i made in washington. many of my colleagues complains that in the campaign of him twisting on black male and threats in full swing. and it's very difficult to, to show the way from, from these 4 countries who have no vulnerable economic system sounds like a nomic situations. and this is, of course, very much deplorable. it's us on the right that this is just has nothing to do with democracy. this has nothing to do with the freedom of speech. it's just the family of the united states to mobilize the supports under their decisions on the

institutions that the profitable for them to, to people ongoing their leading position in the world affairs, which they are very keen to preserve together with their allies. and that's all for now, we're sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour the the the
