go with a, with 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 its response to opec's decision to cut oil production, including over relations with saudi arabia, as bivens lobbying and re jada to keep oil exports up fail to achieve is an austrian government thing. tank claims. beijing is spreading chinese propaganda in the solomon islands and the concerted information campaign can yes,

spark spears and tanza nia, of genetically modified produce entering the country after the african state looks a ban on such produce to help tackle a growing boot crisis, a mosque out to the world, this is our to international. i'm rachel blevins, and these are the top stories this our moscow says the ukranian president is calling for the start of a world war. doctor vladimir zalinski urge nato to carry out a 1st strike against russia. shopper, when that'll moved 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. 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. 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. now,

the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman pointed out that zalinski is essentially fueling and nuclear war that he's become a, a monster who can destroy the planet. if you want peace, you don't call for pre emptive strikes and a nuclear escalation. that seems to me what the ukranian president has done and it fits a pattern of escalation here. now recently we saw the polish leader. i go as far as saying that holland was willing to host nuclear weapons from united states. when the i did states as it has no plans to put nuclear weapons in poland and is important to note of the government and kyo is at this point, dependent on lawns from the west if there were not being financially brought up by nato, a financial propped up by the united states in particular, and there was not a constant inflow weapons that government would have fallen then it seems like their strategy here is to ask a late 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 peace. now it's important to note that ukraine announced they were attempting to fast track to join nato to join emily nato alliance. very, very quickly, something that the white house said they were not even informed of sounds like a desperate move from kiya and the white house was not cooperating with them on it . now the foreign ministry spokesperson for russia, maria is a car of a. she pointed out that essentially you have western media playing up. this idea that russia is a nuclear threat. when in reality it is the key of government that continues to attack the nuclear power plant, putting the danger of a nuclear disaster before the world. and that now with these calls for a preemptive strike, by the ukrainian leader, looks pretty clear that the nuclear blackmailing is coming from the other side from the ukrainians, openly smee, the western media is

a tool in the hands of the western intelligence agencies. they're trying to implant a nuclear rhetoric into the public discourse, accusing russia of conducting nuclear black male. this is how the machine works as soon as russian officials say something, for example, about our position of not having been the 1st country to actually use nuclear weapons. or absolute adherence to all our regulations about these arms. immediately the western media cuts out certain key words, pace them into their articles, and throws everything else away. fabricating something that is exactly opposite of what we stated. know this escalation from the granting leader should be taken seriously by everyone. however, the western media seems to have turned a blind eye to the actions of the lindsey. now at this point, will be waiting to see what the global reaction is from these provocative remarks from the brain president that are pretty tantamount to calling for world war 3.

meanwhile, the cranium president spokesperson has already backtracked on zalinski words. he explained that he was talking about a period before february 24th, and the only measures that could be helpful are sanctions. this comes as joe biden says, the risk of nuclear armageddon is at its highest since the $962.00 cuban missile crisis. we discuss the issue with the panel of guests who said that if america was open to negotiations, the conflicts would likely be resolved. i don't think they've learned lessons 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 or how to get out of this, you know, john f kennedy worker. 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

a nuclear weapons out of turkey in return for crew, aching the missiles out of cuba. that is the type of negotiation we need today. but you don't see any of that happening from the u. s. you don't see the u. s. helping i to negotiate a solution and back you see them interfering to prevent solution from being agreed to. so that is very, very troubling. 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 so sir, world war, because russia is going to retaliate against all natal member states and that would be easy andover oh for europe and perhaps over humanity once we start playing these kinds of games and i cannot understand why the leaders of the of the west are urging themselves to commit suicide. i cannot understand

o u. s. secretary and state antony, blanket and claims the u. s. is exploring a range of response options 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 missouri 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. now meanwhile, the largest us oil trade groups were 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 global markets, reduce domestic refining capacity and alienate us allies that says, joe biden is being called out by prominent fox news host over the sabotage of the

north stream 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 when they learned from joe biden himself, he's the president. there will be no longer the norse tube to we will be going to do the secretary state in the by to ministration 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 keys worlds apart. oksana boy co joined my colleague nikki aaron in the studio earlier to break down the ramifications of the opec plus production cuts. 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 that own interest. the white house has yet again tried to put all the blame on russia, but i think the current division shows that even closest american alice and no longer paying attention to anything that washington is saying or doing directly pursuing their own interest just last september. and it 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 be chinese, to the chinese company. some shares of which are owned by a hunter,

biden's investment for him. so while the situation is pretty, pretty dramatic, this profit tearing, very glaring, very obvious. profiteering still goes on and, you know, it's, it's pretty amazing to see how the old schemes continued despite the fact that the situation is pretty, pretty daring. and i guess today, off of this decision was made, i spoke to the former advisor to the saudi energy minutes. and he said, you know, this decision is not emotional. it's not politically scientific. as a scientific decision, it's not intending but it's, it's serving the objective, practical, national interest. the, you know, it's, it's interesting to see that they have the seminar to do that, primarily because the bottom mr. she has done everything to alley and made my 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 there will be doing with, with that patricians, unlike the year the united states that have its own strategic all reserves. and the biden administration has been living happily when it's over the last year. the besides and that's 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 are going to release another $10000000.00 to try to hit 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, of much higher prices so it's essentially they are trying to use that strategic

reserves to aid the biden's. 3 standing in the polls, but even if they win, even the democrats, when they will have to address that problem, a couple of months down the line. no, they've been a couple of years. a couple of months and australian base thing tank has published a report claiming that the chinese government is influencing the solomon islands information environment and advising on how to counter it. the chinese communist party is attempting to influence public discourse in solomon islands through coordinated information operations that seek to spread false narratives and suppress information on a range of topics. the chinese communist party has used its propaganda and disinformation capabilities to push false narratives in an effort to shape the solomon islands public's perception of security issues in foreign partners. china has previously said that it respects the national sovereignty of the solomon islands, and the co operation is based on its needs. the australian strategic policy institute

claims to have prove that beijing is undermining the solomon islands relationship with foreign partners, particularly australia and the u. s. it also says beijing is using the islands online information environment to amplified chinese state media, especially on facebook. according to the thing tank, decision makers and journalists, there are linked to the china, solomon islands. friendship association does by claiming to be an independent thing . take a s b. i received donations from the australian and overseas governments including the u. s. department of defense, which gave a total of $1500000.00 from 2020 to 2021. the u. k. foreign office also contributed $230000.00 over the same time period. while the japanese embassy in canberra donated $70000.00 to the institute. we heard from tim anderson,

director of the center for counter. hm. hedge a monic studies from sidney, who says the u. s. military funded institute simply says what washington wants. the thing about i is that it is not even reveal in the meeting here in australia. they have funded by the starting the military and by the u. s. military and my weapons manufacturers, and they also have tied journalists in the, in the stores and slate media. and also the people that those hide journalists interview are also often paid boy sources linked to the u. s. military. and so there's unfortunately a very strong loop in, it's just a straight propaganda channel for the u. s. military saying what the u. s. military wants. unfortunately, he has started the media to so badly compromise and doesn't recognize the conflicts of interest. but people are being fooled by that. i mean the, the i, b, c, the, the, you're struggling to state media does not even acknowledge that the people that live

interviewing with s b is funded by and destroyed in and the u. s. military. and of course, a u. s. military on the starting, the military had their own agenda in relation to china in the pacific region. the republic of korea and the u. s. for reportedly hold joint maritime exercises on the 7th and 8th of october in response to north korean missile launches. this comes out of the south korean ballistic missile malfunction and crashed on the outskirts of a military base on wednesday during a live fire drill conducted with american forces. the crash which occurred amid heightened tensions with north korea, cause panic among local residents. i mean, isabel official in the city where the incident took place accused the government of using taxpayer money for weapons. that's right. in the countries own people, the short range missile was equipped with a war head that didn't detonate upon impact. no casualties were reported. the

exercises began days after you as vice president comma harris had visited south korea and a show of solidarity with ceo as neighboring north korea ramped ups has its own strategic arsenal. earlier this week, north korea test fired a missile over japan into the pacific ocean. in response chapin in the u, as 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 the 2 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 council. only who occurred on the colon choosing with 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. mm hm. shoot an russia and china and says that the joint us south korea drills in the south pacific provoke north korea. the you, as a master to the un, rejected the remarks saying there is, quote, no equivalency between these 2 activities. earlier, north korea also accused washington and his allies at threatening it with joint drills and military build that international journalist,

eric. so mark believes north korea sees it's nuclear and missile programs as a necessary deterrent against perceived regression. i should say on behalf of china, because i'm a permanent resident of jonah that chinese positional along has been that there should be no nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. china, is it close to further nuclear proliferation? and so is russia. indifference is they understand why north korea is resorting to this extreme measure because it's afraid. united states 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'd better show that we're not like iraq was some years ago when senator hadn't weapons of mass destruction that didn't have any. so it was invaded tanza nea will step up. it's vigilance against the importation of genetically modified crops after neighboring kenya approved the forming and import taishan of biotechnology crops following a 10 year ban. we are not open to such genetically modified technology. can use move has no effect on us. we will keep on utilizing the hybrid op varieties as our various studies maintain, that we have enough in the very best hybrid seeds that are commercially viable and more productive than g m. tanzania is concerned that genetically modified foods

might find their way into the country. kenya, decision to return to the open cultivation of g. m. crops was made after the worst route and 40 years along with issues in the global supply chain due to the conflict in ukraine. which led to mass hunger. the jazz band came into effect in 2012 effectively prohibiting the also the open cultivation and planting of genetically modified crops as well as the importation of food crops and animal feeds produce through biotechnology, innovation. i down the garbage, the 2nd, a former presidential candidate for the 123 nigerian elections, says gm food is not right for africa. i want you to write it on the what if i, where you have to use technology to modify the genes of duffy, you know, sort of, you can have high yield, but of course highly chemical ice. this is a continent described in my,

in order to do, in addition to the already exacerbated health issues that we have in africa. i don't, we're just trying to concede a lot of challenges into, into all continent. and honestly, i don't we have like for julie to colleen, what if i lived with him capacity to produce our own food? simply because the middle dollar countries have taken over the progression of $1440.00 in africa. fortune was the only export declined on from produce the we find me no countries for export not really to go with produce the we can consume on it and know that we are coming to the point well by the global grinnell which on crises is a 15 are distorting to supply chain, we are unable to produce all food on the we are willing to get from the was don't want to stick with the logic i need to leave in general to clean. what if i for doug me likely be cubicles of course a lot of problems for the other guy don't to write this kind of thing. i can offer car should be able to have his truck to where we produce old bristle natural

environment. since we have the line was under capacity on do not mean, well, i can be able to prove the quantity of food that we can just continue. and now to the late as from rush us her song region where the ukranian military has attacked a key bridge using american supplied high mars missiles, rush, an air defense system shot down the projectiles. at least 5 of them before they can land at their target. as you can see here in this footage, several phones at the smoke were spotted about the anti knob escape bridge, which stretches a crossing napa river. local authorities say there were no casualties as a result of that ukrainian attack across in the russian republic of dun nascar. t war correspondent andre fil a 12 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, a warning, the following footage contains some graphic content to appear at some your new

milker new. i was hit again, another small wound, i don't need any metal for this. it's awesome. great achievement. it 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. meanwhile, the e. u has officially adopted its 8th package of sanctions against moscow, including the 4 territories that 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 banned. plus the measures prohibit some e exports to 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 price. and even in the you itself, some top officials or warning that europeans will bear the brunt of the political decisions made in brussels. the european union has again proven that is 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 that could have been used more effectively. we are risking a massive de 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. this by western

resistance, the world has irreversibly changed, and state should accept the new reality. the russian foreign ministry has urged that as russian officials called on countries to recognize the reform rendon. and then don last and her son and zapper of 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 un member states to accept a new inevitable reality dictated by life itself. and based on the free expression of peoples will, this p all comes as western states are pushing for the un to adopt or resolution financing. russia for what they say is an annexation of former ukranian territories . officials are using all means to convince potential allies to condemn russia, including messages, phone calls, personal interaction, 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 ames to isolate moscow, which is in turn, branded the draft resolution as a sham not worth supporting one thing 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 tried 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 rougher run and that done nest. and lou calling republic along with her son and zapper. oh,

she reagan's an overwhelming majority of over 90 percent of the total balance cast and voted in favor of joining russia. but the people's will have been persuaded. the u. s. or the you who insist the boat 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 us in the whole world has its playground sound to you and there's something that should really roberts down for the decisions that i made in washington. so many of my colleagues complains that the needs of these campaign of ham, twisting on black male and threats is in full swing, and it's very difficult. so to shield away from, from these 4 countries who have all marable economic system sounds, economic situations. and this is of course very much deplorable. it's, you're still there, right?

that this is, this has nothing to do with democracy. this has nothing to do with the freedom of speech. it's just the time of the united states to. ready mobilize the supports under their decisions on the decisions that are profitable for them. so to keep on going a are leading position in the world affairs, which they are very keen to preserve together with their allies. that's all for now . be 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. ah ah.
