responsibility for the whole way, we need to make rules for the rest. because without us, there will be 2 . ah, moscow accuses ukraine's president of trying to start a world war. doctor of water mere zalinski calls on nato to launch preemptive strikes against russia. washington considers retaliatory measures against saudi arabia after opec decision to cut oil production despite president biden's efforts to keep prices down and australian thing tanks, sponsored by western states including britain and the u. s. accuses china running propaganda in the solomon islands. dan can yes,

sparks fears and tanzania, genetically modified, produce entering the country after the african state. let's the ban on such produce to help tackle a grow include price 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 of a world war that's after vladimir zalinski urge nato to carry out a 1st strike against russia. joyful, when little moved, what should nato do? eliminate the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons. 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 works. 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. recently we saw the polish leader go as far as saying that poland was willing to host nuclear weapons from united states. when the i did state says it has no plans to put nuclear weapons in poland and is important to note the government. and pia 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. and it seems like near

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 join nato to join the nato alliance. very, very quickly. something at 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 pre emptive 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 finding. 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 absolutely 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 the 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 discussed the issue with the panel of guess who said that if america was open to negotiation, the conflict 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 it. you know john f kennedy werner, you know, he worked hard to negotiate a deal with crew chef when 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 to day. 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 irrational 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 a data ducks in any way russia is that. so the 3rd world war, because russia is going to retaliate against all nato member states, and that will 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 you as secretary of state antony blanket claims. the u. s. is exploring a range of response options to the opec plus decision to cut oil production, as washington as reportedly desperate to secure cheap oil imports from venezuela. and is said to be and talks to ease sanctions on the maduro government. in 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 u. s. a loyal 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 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 north stream gas pipelines from russia to germany. where might some americans have gotten the notion that the by the administration might have been involved directly or through a proxy in the destruction of the north stream pipelines? why would they think that they certainly 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 a norse tube to we will bring it in to the secretary of state. in the vita 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 artes, 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 north as a hostile act, and it's a very interesting warning, 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 a hotel act. but saudi arabia and many of the opec members are considered traditional us alice and the fact that they have pretty much ignored the 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 washington is saying or doing directly pursuing their own interest just last september and use came out that while the united states is facing such a major shortage of oil, it's sold around 10000000 barrels out of the strategic all the reserves to the 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 hearing 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 all. yesterday, often 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, is not politically scientific. is a scientific decision. it's no different 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 misters 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 ear is, you know,

in the book of countries it has absolutely no oil reserve. it would be interesting to see how they will be doing with, with that situation, unlike the, even the united states does have its own strategic all reserves. and the biden administration has been leaning heavily on it over the last year. and the, besides the reserve diminished by almost a 3rd from more than 600000000 barrels to somewhat about 400000000 barrels and the vitamin ministration. and i'll see it 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 at 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, those have been a couple of years a couple of months. meanwhile, the e u has officially adopted as a 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 u exports to russia, such as coal, a v ation equipment and certain chemicals. moscow has warned that it won't sell energy to those countries that apply a price cap, while the e u sanctions are aimed at russia, serbian officials say they are the ones who will have to pay the price. 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 bulk area was not, serbia is forced to buy more expensive iraqi oil and thus lose hundreds of millions of euro's that could have been used more effectively. belgrade base political analysts, alexander patch, says, serbia is being punished for refusing to join what is essentially an e u. suicide pact. all the serbian high officials from the president prime minister here at the minister defense. they just protested larry b, a man niger because it is a practically sanctioned measure against serbia. and, you know, we all know why that is, is because serbia, the alone country. you know,

in this part of europe practically in all of europe, which is not, which is refusing to impose sanctions against russia. so this is also seen as a kind of a threat and a revenge. it revenge at serbia on the part of the you for not imposing sanctions against russia. they're trying to deny serbia song geopolitical choices. it choices to be neutral conflict they're trying to trying to west serbia to the you, suicide backs. the trillion strategic policy institute has published a report, claiming the chinese government is influencing the solomon islands information environment. the institute claims to have proof that beijing is undermining the solomon islands relationship with foreign partners, particularly australia and the us while promoting chinese propaganda on social media. just by claiming to be an independent thing, take a f. b,

i receives donations from the australian and overseas government, including the u. s. department of defense, which gave a total of $1500000.00 from 2020 to 2021. the u. k for an office also contributed $230000.00 over the same time period, while the japanese embassy and camber donated $70000.00 to the institute. meanwhile, china has previously said that it respects the national sovereignty of the solomon islands and that cooperation is based on its needs. we heard from tim anderson, director of the center for counter hedge, a monic studies from city that says the us military funded institute simply amplifies abuse of washington. the thing about i s t i is that it is not even reveal in the media here in australia that they have funded by the starting military and by the u. s. military and my weapons manufacturers.

and i also have tied journalists in the, in these treasures like media. and also the people that does hide journalists interview are also often paid by sources linked to the u. s. military. 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 on media is so badly compromised and doesn't recognize the conflicts of interest that people are being filled by. i mean the, the i, b, c, the, the, you're struggling like media does not even acknowledge that the people at their interviewing or that s b is funded by and destroyed in and the u. s. military. and of course, a u. s. military on these try, the military had their own agenda in relation to china in the pacific region, tanzania will step up its vigilance against the importation of genetically modified crops after neighboring kenya approved the farming and importation of biotechnology

crops falling 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 is decision to return to the open cultivation of g. m. crops was made after the worst route and 40 years along with issues and the global supply chain due to the conflicts in ukraine which led to math hunger. the gm man came into effect in 2012 effectively prohibiting 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 dont who guard by the 2nd a former presidential aspirant for the 2023 nigerian elections. says the g m. food

the global grinnell, which are groceries is affecting our disrupting the supply chain. we are unable to produce all wood on the we're going to get from that was don't want to stick with the logic i need to even jump to clean. what if i for doug me, likely be chemicals will cause 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 under natural mean war a can be able to remove the warranted your food. we come into the republic of korea and the u. s. are holding joint maritime drills on the 7th and 8th of october in response to north korean missile launches. this kind of as a south korean ballistic missile malfunction and crashed on the outskirts of the military base on wednesday during a live fire drill conducted with american forces. no crash which occurred amid heightened tensions with north korea, cause panic among local residents. i municipal official in the city where the

incident took place accused the government and using taxpayer money for weapons that threaten the country's own people. the short range missile was equipped with a war, had been didn't destiny upon impact and no casualties were reported. the exercise began days after you as vice president comalla harris visited south korea and a show of solidarity with sea. all eyes neighboring north korea ramped up test 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 had 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 bed actions and cannot be taken seriously by this counsel. only we're kind on the cold. she, she was china and russia have table to 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 insist the joint us south korea drills and the south pacific

provokes north korea, the u. s. ambassador to the un rejected the remarks saying there is, quote, no equivalency between these 2 activities. earlier, north korea also accused washington and its allies threatening it with joint drills and a military build up. international journalists, eric summer, 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 no, no chinese position all along has been there should be no nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. china is suppose to further nuclear proliferation. and so as russia differences, they understand why north korea is resorting to this extreme measure, because it's a cray united states has had military forces stationed in

south korea adjacent right to north korea since the korean war. and just before the recent mistletoe 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 see this and think we better show that we're not like iraq was some years ago when i said weapons of mass destruction that didn't have any. so it was invaded and now delayed us from russia's her song region where 5 people have reportedly been killed, ukrainian force, it struck civilian areas allegedly, with a high mars missile. let's take a look at the latest pictures we have, where you can see the images are side to show the aftermath of the attack. 2 buses

were destroyed, while at least 3 people were also reportedly wounded. across on the russian republic of don nascar t war correspondent andre philosophy 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. and a warning. the following footage contains some graphic content with some your new mucus. i knew 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, since it's not a big deal. i'll go get an x ray. it probably didn't strike any of my bones just is something to fuss about. so what, i'll recover from this and return to work. despite western resistance, the world has irreversibly changed and states should accept the new reality. the

russian foreign ministry has urge that as russian officials called on countries to recognize the rougher remnants and the don mass and the hearse on and 0. she reaches international observers including those from italy, germany, venezuela, latvia, and other states. more than 130 people over all who followed the referendums have recognized the 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 interaction, and public statements. the draft document is expected to be voted on next monday during an emergency session convened after russia beach owed

a similar proposal. i've been un security council. the new document aims to isolate moscow witches and turn branding the draft resolution as a sham not worth supporting one sitting 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 referendums in the dawn esque lugens gre public, along with the hearse on ends, appro. she regions and overwhelmingly majority of over 90 percent of the total

balance cas voted in favor of joining russia. but the people's will hasn't persuaded the us or the you who insist the vote was illegal. russia's 1st deputy permanent representative to the un points out the washington itself is guilty of using undemocratic methods to retain its influence. i think that the u. s. is viewing the whole world as it's playground sound to you and there's something that should really rubber stamp the decisions that i made in washington. so many of my colleagues complains that the beats campaign of him twisting on black mail and threats is in full swing. and it's very difficult, so to shield away from, from these 4 countries who have hon. economic system sounds, economic situations. and this is of course very much deplorable if you have something to write that this is, this has nothing to do with democracy. this has nothing to do with 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. and that's all for now. here is i got r t dot com for all the latest breaking news and i days we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour a with .
