ah, ah, with moscow accuses ukraine's president of trying to start a world war after volume is the lens he had paid to colon nato to launch a preemptive strikes against russia. also in the program, washington considers will tell you a few measures against saudi arabia after opaque pluses decision to coax oil production. and that is despite the president biden's efforts to keep prices down in africa, kenya's fox is in neighboring town is the near of genetically modified port use entering the east african country. that's up to nairobi, list a 10 year bond to help tackle a growing field crisis. with

moscow to the world, you're watching r t international. my name is peter scott bringing the top stories this our welcome to the program. moscow claims the ukranian president's is calling for the start of the world war. and russia's top diplomat said again, love, well, even believed zelinski had called for a preemptive nuclear strike on russia of cheer zelinski, but as well. so yesterday, zalinski called on his western masters to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on russia. with his statement, he's essentially shown the whole world more evidence of the threats emanating from the key of regime, which the special operation was launched in utilize. attempt by the links to the secretaries to claim that he meant something else or ridiculous. in this situation, zelinski like his entire regime, has got a taste and is beginning to dictate his own conditions, both to nato,

unto the you able to live stream shovel. when that'll point it. what should nato do and 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 yog me 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 washing, 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 a 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 and e, 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 a san really 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 be 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 poland was willing to host nuclear weapons from united states. when i did state says it has no plans to put nuclear weapons in poland and is important to note that the government and kiya

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. and it seems like near strategy here is to ask 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 that the white house said they were not even informed up. 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's 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 black mailing is coming from the other side from the ukrainians, openly smith, 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 blackmail 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 absolute it here and to all our regulations about these arms. immediately the western media cuts out certain key words, paste 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 zalinski. now at this point, we'll be waiting to see what the global reaction is from these provocative remarks from the ukraine president that are pretty tantamount to calling for world war 3 of the ukrainian president spokesperson has already, by tribes on zalinski his words. and he explained that he was talking about a period before february 24th and was actually talking about sanctions a not physical at times. where this all comes as joe biden says, the risk of nuclear armageddon is us his highest since the 1962 cuban missile crisis. we discussed the issue with the panel of guess. 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 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 taking the missiles out of cuba . that is, it had been 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 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 a data tax in any way russia that so the 3rd world war, because russia is going to retaliate against all natal member states. and that would be, is he endo, verb 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 you are secretary of state, anthony blinkin says that washington is exploring a range of responses to the opaque plus decision to cuts. oil production. the u. s . is reportedly keen to secure cheap oil imports from venezuela and is report to lean talks the sanctions on the maduro government. me one of the largest us oil trade groups, wrote a letter to energy secretary, jennifer granholm expressing concern that washington is considering limiting fuel exports to lower consumer prices. where they say the move could disrupt global markets, reduce domestic refining capacity, and alienates u. s. allies and it comes as a prominence fox news host points out that. busy joe biden had said himself that

the u. s. would quote, bring an end to the north seam gas pipeline that runs 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 string pipelines? why would they think that they should, we didn't watch them. 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 so nor stream to we will bring an end. and then we crowed about how great it was after it happened. we had nothing at all to do with it. and if you don't, by that story uncritically, if you have any questions about how exactly that might work, you're a disloyal american, shut up the destruction of food, the nord street pipeline, which i, i would bet was a us action, perhaps u. s. and poland. i this is, i don't, we don't stop there, that's a, that's a quite a statement as well. why do you feel like that?

that was a you us action. what evidence do you have of that? the house of ortiz, what apart wells apart program. ok son, a boy co joined my colleague, nicky are in earlier in the studio and they wrote down the ramifications of the opaque plus production cause the white has already described based north 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 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, 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 investment for him. so while the situation is pretty, pretty dramatic. this profiteering, 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, after 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. it's not politically scientific. is a scientific decision. it's not fitting, but it's, it's serving bab jack if practical national interest then the it's interesting to

see that they have the stamina to do that, primarily because the vitamin 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 ear is a, you know, it is a book of countries that has absolutely no reserve. it would be interesting to see how there it will be doing with, with that situations, unlike the e, the united states does have its own strategic oil reserves. and the biden administration has been leaning heavily on it air over the last here. and the besides of that reserve diminished by almost a 3rd from more than 600000000 barrels to someone about 400000000 barrels a at the bite administration. 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 respite. but the problem is that when you are

emptying your reserves on, on a 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 if the democrats, when they will have to address that problem, a couple of months down the line. note that when a couple of years, a couple of months, while the u has officially adopted its 8th package of sanctions against moscow, and that does include the full territories that recently joined russia. the new restrictions include a price cup on oil imports from russia by c, although pipeline supplies on to affected imports of some russian goods, including steel paper, plastic i know also bund plus, the measures prohibit some exports to russia, such as coal aviation equipment,

uncertain chemicals. moscow in turn, has warned that it won't sell energy to those countries that supply a price cup while they use functions are aimed. it's russia serve in officials say that they're the ones who may 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 po, guerria was not, serbia is forced to buy more expensive iraqi oil and thus lose hundreds of millions of euros that could have been used more effectively. or belgrade based political analysts, alexander povich says that serbia has been punished for refusing to join what he describes as an e. u suicide pipes look disturbing. high officials from the president. i'm minister here at the minister defense. they just protest, larry b, a man gas dodger,

because it is practically a sanctioned measure against serbia. and you know, we all know why that is, is because serbia is the alone country 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 serbia on quality you for not imposing sanctions against russia. they're trying to denies serbia. it song geopolitical choices. it choices to be neutral in a conflict in trying to west serbia you are, you suicide, that meanwhile the use foreign policy chief has called for europe without russia adding that the continent should build its own political community without consideration for moscow. for the foreseeable future, and probably as long as putin is in power, it is impossible to conceive of a new security order or piece architecture in europe,

of which russia put in it would be an integral pause. russia remains a geographical neighbor and a member of the international system. but right now we have to build a european political community without buttons russia, me? well, polish energy companies have rolled out an advertising campaign about sue. they blame fur high electricity prices. and that is, of course, vladimir putin, but it's despite the fact that warsaw has been one of the key supporters of strict sanctions against russia. now this all comes as 44 european leaders are holding an informal meeting in prague to discuss the war in ukraine. the energy crisis and the economic downturn, russia and belarus were both barred from attending the summit. the meeting comes as an attempt to form a more inclusive union that might allow in countries aren't currently parts of the u. r. t. s. rachel mazda reports. the european union is hosting the very 1st ever meeting this week in prague for

a brand new club called the european political community. or if you prefer the e u kitty table. earlier this year, french president, a menu and back home, realized that there was pretty much no way that ukraine was going to be able to qualify for e u membership anytime soon. but wanted to somehow stretch the block to make it, and other outsiders feel included. none the less, so the block set up a sort of kitty table of representatives from the 17 countries, a sort of russia free safe space where they could sit back and enjoy the virtue signaling by the other 27 members. dates while chow down on scrumptious snacks, nor doubt, paid for by the glock citizens who can barely afford gas to heat their own meals. and so why wasn't russia invited? this meeting is a way of looking for a new order without russia. it doesn't mean we want to exclude russia forever, but this russia, putins, russia does not have a seat. the kitchen table. participants also have the opportunity to try their hand

at a bit of virtue signaling themselves in preparation for their possible eventual integration into the block. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, set the tone sort of a he note for the virtue signaling, if you will, when he beamed in via video link to ask for surprise, surprise, whole more aid yours. so that quote, russian tanks do not advance on warsaw or again on prague about the only tank. advancing on the e. u is the massive brakes truck full of cash that the west keeps sending to ukraine while european struggle to pay the bills. professional actors, zalinski is a tough act to follow for sure. but u. k prime minister list trust who citizens voted to lee lee, you showed up anyway to give zalinski a run for his money and the rush bashing department. nothing says democracy more than a liter showing up to address a block to better citizens voted to leave. trust must have figured that there will

be a shortage of participants there urging euro to quote, stand firm against russian president vladimir putin. she said in her address, apparently to seating plan for this thing was a bit of a nightmare with serbia and kosovo, both at the kitty table and turkey advocate, a table wanting to launch big balls at the adult table, specifically aiming for greece. it's not like any written conclusions or declarations. we're going to come out of this thing. getting a class photo taken without any one ending up with chewing gum in their hair or bunny ears flashed over their head would already be considered a major accomplishment. but no doubt vladimir putin is quaking at the site and now it's the latest from the sheriff's own region where 5 people have reportedly been killed up to ukrainian forces, allegedly stroked civilian areas where the suspects at u. s. a high mos miss. i'll

now hear the latest pitches we have in this said to show the aftermath of. busy dots, it's like where 2 buses were destroyed while at least 3 people were also reportedly wounded. now across to the republic of done yet square archie, correspondence under a philosopher has been wounded for a 2nd time. he was grazed by some shop knoll wall reporting on a bustle in the area, and the following footage contained some mildly graphic content. i bet from your neil meal care. i knew i was hit again. another small wound i knew. i don't need any metal for this is saw some great achievement. it had me right here in my hip. isn't. it's not a big deal. i'll go get an x ray. probably didn't strike any my bones just if it's nothing to fuss about and give them. i'll recover from this in return to work. sure . making a corner authorities in russia's western calgary region say that a drone came down from the ukrainian border, which is about soon to columbus is or any cross to the local military air base.

this map shows the crash sites in relation to the russian capital, which is about 270 kilometers to the north east media reports say the aircraft was shot down as it approached a miniature air base. but no one was reported injured in the incidence. and now over to africa, where tanzania says no to g m o, that's after the neighboring tenure listed a 10 year been on the farming unimed ports of genetically modified crops. we are not open to such genetically modified technology can use move, has no effect on us. we will keep on utilizing the hybrid up 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 is worried that genetically modified foods might find their way into the country. can his decision to return to the open cultivation of g m crops was made after the worst drought in 40 years,

along with issues in global supply chains, july the conflicts in ukraine which has led to mass hunger crisis a dom gobber the 2nd former presidential aspirant for the 2023 nigerian elections. me says that genetically modified food just isn't right for africa. i is not in the right foot, genetically modified. where you have to use technology to modify the genes of that food. you know, sort of, you can have high yield, but of course highly chemicals. this is a continent described in my look to see, in addition to the already exacerbated health issues that we have in africa. i don't want to just trying to concede a logo. i'm challenging into, into all continent, and honestly, i don't to, we are like full jenny to come in when you fighting. we are living with him capacity to pull, move on from simply because the middle dollar country from taking over the

professional $1440.00 to norfolk fortune was the only export declined on bomb produce the we finally no countries for export. not really the kind of where am produce the we can consume on it and know that we are coming to the point well by the global grinnell, which on crisis is a victim and disrupting the supply chain. we are unable to produce all wood annually. hilda were 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 that me likely be chemical is also cause a lot of problems for the other guy. don't to write this kind of dig, i didn't, africa should be able to have, is talk to where we produce all the beautiful natural environment. since we have the land mass and the capacity on do not mean wall or can be able to remove the quantity of food the we can also mean discontinued on south korea, on the us have been holding joint maritime drills in response to north korean missile launch. that's after a south korean ballistic missile malfunctioned and then crushed into the outskirts

of the military base early this week. during a life i exercise conducts at with american forces. now the crush which occurred amid heights intentions with north korea caused panic, unsurprisingly, among local residents. and an official in the city where the instance of place accused the government of using taxpayer money for weapons and threatened the countries bone people. so range missile was acquits with a war, had that didn't designates upon impacts, and no casualties were reported. the exercises began just days after u. s. vice president, kamala harris visited south korea in a show of solidarity with sol as neighboring north korea. rum took the tests of his own strategic arsenal. early this week at north korea, testified a missile over japan that then plummeted 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 said that the sanctions against north korea have come to

a dead end and they haven't achieved the desired results. dpr k has enjoyed blanket protection from to members of this council. these 2 members have gone out of their way to justify the t 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. my little credit on the colon, choosing the china and russia have table to join 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 dialog on the korean peninsula issue the un security councils deliberations should contribute to dialogue rather than fueling escalation on. mm

hm. change of russia and china have insisted that the joints, u. s. a. south korean drills have per vote north korea, but the u. s. embassy to, to the you had did reject those remarks and said that there was no equivalency between these 2 artifices. early at north korea also accused washington on this allies of threats in it with the military buildup. international journalist, eric summers blaze, the north korea seas. it's miss all programs as a necessary deterrent i should say on behalf of china, because i'm a permanent resident of german. ah, the chinese position all along has been that there should be no nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. china is a 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

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 missile test is conducted, yet another large scale on 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 it said weapons of mass destruction that didn't have any. so it was invaded and finally, as ukraine's president, volume is zalinski has again called for european leaders to send more weapons to key. if the west of media says little about how ukraine could possibly pay back it's massive debts. according to ukraine's finance ministry,

the countries total national debt is slowly creeping up to $100000000000.00. and that's the equivalent of 2 thirds of ukraine's g d p over the last year. around $60000000000.00 of the debt is owed to foreign states will. earlier we spoke to economists, north of michael hudson, who says that ukraine appears unlikely to be able to pay off its obligations to foreign powers. there's no way that you can now pay the form that it's running a huge deficit every year. and it's the 4th country in europe. it's really most corrupt country in europe, the money that is called foreign death was not paid the ukrainians. it was paid to the collector credit satellite, alamo, ski and to mr. zalinski and other crooked. so immediately took the money from the i m f and put it into their personal bank accounts and anima and other places. so this is fictitious, that is not really ukrainian, that at all is what economists call

a fraudulent or odious depth. and i think russia should make this a test case on what is already a step. and it should somehow expand the idea of audio step to what many other american satellites and global cells countries oh plus are up for now. and that's all for me, peter scott's, but i'll be passing the baton on to ortiz. nicky are in very shortly and she'll be here in about half an hour's time with all the latest news here. nazi, thank you for your company in ah man, hey, this completed sabotaged training and you get done and served in 3rd reich units as an as captain 2nd in command of the nasty guy battalion, he trained ukrainian nationalist cadets. he was awarded to merit crosses.
