to end the military conflict, this should not surprise anyone. after all, this has been the position of the by the administration all along. the collective west is intent on supporting this conflict until the last ukrainian maybe into there is no ukraine left. a most go accuses ukraine's president of trying to spark a world war does not apply to pay for lensky calls on nato. to launch preemptive strike against russia. fortune thinking fit is retaliatory measures against saudi arabia over the opaque plus decision to cut oil production. define jo biden's efforts to keep prices down. european leaders trying to keep a straight face and boast about unity during a major summit, despite escalating political and economic disputes among some of the country. can you bank pay the neighboring tanzania of genetically modified produce entering the,

the east african country? often i write the lists of funds to help tampa le growing food crisis. a variable. welcome a 5 pm here in the russian capital. and this is auntie international with the latest news out that it's good to happy with us. now, moscow has accused ukraine's president of calling for the start of a world war that's off to florida, my zalinski edge nato. to launch preemptive strikes against russia. foreign minister say laugh up, stays the lensky ones, the u. s. lead block to nuke the country of juror 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 showing the whole world more evidence of the threats emanating from the key of regime, which the special operation was launched to neutralize attempts by the length of

his secretaries to claim that he meant something else or ridiculous. in this situation, zalinski, like his entire regime, has got a taste and is beginning to dictate his own conditions, both to nato and to the you able to live stream shovel when little boy, they, 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. 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 a san silly 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. ah,

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 know that the government in kiya is at this point, dependent on loans from the west, if 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 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 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 pre emptive strike by the ukrainian leader, looks pretty clear that the nuclear black mailing 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 blackmail. 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 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 the lindsey. 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. the cranium president spokesperson was quick to scramble for damage control and has tried to go back on the lens he statement claiming that he was actually talking about sanctions, not military force, which should have been imposed against russia before february 24th is comes out joe biden. say the risk of nuclear, i'm a good it is that his highest since the $962.00 cuban missile crisis,

we discussed this issue with a panel of guests. 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 bob, 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 cruise, 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 a data ducks in any way russia, that's a 3rd 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 that they use foreign policy chief years the barrel has spoken out about the opec class decisions, a cut all the production. thank it was clearly a response to the you introducing a price cap on russian energy supplies. russia playing games with the price of gas, certainly look a deal decks with their decision to decrease the supply of oil, which is a clear answer to our proposal to get to pricing provided. and now the

market has been dominated by human legal police tick site on the supply. and now we want to limit the price is sunday, mid answer has been to decrease quantities as off the top us diplomat unseen, blinking said washington is exploring a range of options on how to react to them these by opec plus. reportedly the u. s . is now seeking to secure cheap oil supplies from venezuela with a deal to finally easiest destructive sanctions on the south american country. meanwhile, the largest us oil trade groups wrote a letter to energy secretary jennifer granholm expressing concern that washington is considering limiting its feel exposed to lower consumer prices. they say the move could disrupt global markets, reduce domestic refining capacity, and alienates usaa allies masses. a prominent fox news host points out that joe biden had said himself that the us would quote,

to bring an end to the node stream gas pipeline, which runs from russia to germany. where might some americans have gotten the notion that the by the administration 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, we will bring it in. 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 each destruction of food, the nord st pipeline, which i, i would bet was a us action perhaps u. s. and poland. i this is certainly going to stop there. that's what there are quite a statement as well. why do you feel always that there was a u. s. action?

what evidence do you have of that? both parties wells apart. ok on a boy co joined me in the studio earlier to break down the ramifications of the opec class 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 worth your interest would be fulfilled, act, but saudi arabia and 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 the even closest american alice 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 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 off. and 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 as a scientific decision. it's no sorry, i'm kidding, but it's, it's serving bab jack if practical, national interest. you know it's, it's interesting to see that they have the seminar to do that, primarily because the vitamin mr. she has done everything to eli 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, 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 that have its own strategic all reserves and the bite in 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 as 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 though the democrats, when they will have to address that problem, a couple of months down the line, know they've been a couple of years. a couple of months. the dozens of european leaders are sitting down for talks in prague in an attempt to demonstrate the unity in tackling the energy crisis. or trying to form a common approach to sanctions against russia and support for ukraine. but this limit comes as some glaring disagreements showing through the cracks of relations among european countries themselves. we can get the details from artie contribute to rachel most and way too nice to see you. and plenty of smiles and handshakes in prague so far. but just how many of the european leaders seem to be speaking softly

while carrying a big stick? yeah, that's the big question. the new e u political community. an invention of french president in mandarin mac home consisting of the 27 nation block and 17 other countries most of which aspire to join the u as just wrapped up its inaugural. let's face it, p r, exercise in prague. now, the whole point of this event in prague, prague castle seemed to be to convince onlookers of european unity, particularly in favor of ukraine and against russia. while papering over any other cracks in the solidarity facade. you know, these people are kind of like, well, we all know these kind of people in our own personal lives, the kind that show up at a party. and they're all lovey dovey kissy kissy and you know, darn well that they just had a blow up in the car before getting there. so these kinds of blow ups that have been happening in private are really hard to paper over and they,

they were at the summit as well. just this week, for example, as brussels adopt an 8th round of anti russian sanctions. belgium and italy sat on their hands as brussels ban semi finished steel products from russia, despite knowing full well the hit that their own steel industries risk taking as a result. so during the summer target president air to wine used his platform to lash out at greece over the territorial disputes in the region and accused the you of supporting illegal initiatives masquerading as unity or solidarity. so he just called them out right then and there. the block is upset with norway for maintaining high energy prices and profits amid the gas krench caused by brussels, otto sanctions, germany economy, minister, robert havoc brought up the issue of so called friends like the u. s. and norway exploiting other e u countries. desperation through price gouging said that earlier on in the week french president emanuel and michael used his summit platform to repeat his opposition to building a new yes. connection between spain and france,

which germany really, really wants because it would allow cheap gas flow from north africa into neighboring e u countries. but let's face it, france valley's market in the long run. if it supported the project, it wants to be able to export its own l. n g. eventually, you k prime minister las trust was also in attendance and made a point of calling mac hall a friend, even though just a few weeks ago. she said that the jury is out on whether he's a friend or a foe for britain. but now my good friend, my good friend, all lovey dovey kissy kissy in public right. the fullest prime minister didn't miss the opportunity to pick yet another fight with germany. have a listen, do show with a here today, we often talk about the egoism of germany. it clearly shows that it cannot be the case that the european union's energy policy is being dictated by germany and financial times. poland also decided recently to demand reparations from germany

for world war 2. and now greece is also seeking hundreds of billions of euros from germany for both world wars, $1.00 and $2.00 for the greek government and the greek society. this issue, reparations from germany, remains open and its resolution, which is primarily a matter of principle, i think will be beneficial for all the countries and vault and the e. u. s. such guess it doesn't matter that germany has been doing the heavy lifting for both of these net recipients of you funds as the blocks primary economic engine. and now berlin, which is staring down the barrel at d industrialization and energy rationing from these you energy sanctions. isn't exactly in the best position to be stuck with bills to fight and write historical wrongs. now italy was recently chastised by none other than european commission

president and queen of europe. ursula vander line herself just before voting in a far right, populous government. so it now finds itself teetering on the edge of pariah status at the you alongside that other perennial pariah hungry whose prime minister had this to say about brussels performance. russia has not been brought to sneeze at all, while european economies sa, bleeding out, it is evident that the policy of sanctions, mos be changed. so despite attempts to project unity in prague, there's a lot more going on beneath the smiles in the class photo from this particular summit, may to many thanks this d 1000 thought he contributes a rachel marston with it. he's house. now, already the use foreign policy chief called for europe in future with our russia, at least while president putin is in charge of the continent should build its own political community without moscow's influence award winning journalist. stand at

a time martin j. c. a u is considering radical measures to isolate russia. when we talk about that, you're talking about brussel decisions. i think there's always a school to come in, usually brussels until that's when what we should be concentrating on with all of those plans. all those nuclear black box embarrass. galaxy is not wanting something radical like that. one of the one thing. let me just see if it is a group. you may think you want me to come to that. you know, let's take a look at the latest one,

rushes care on region where 5 people have reportedly being told off. the ukrainian force relatedly struck civilian areas. this is the u. s. applied high miles missile system. here are the latest pictures we have with the image is said to show the aftermath of the attack. 2 buses were destroyed, while at least 3 people were also reportedly wounded across the russian public. don't yet sca artsy correspondent andre fill it all has been wounded for a 2nd time. it was grace by some shrapnel reporting on a battle in the area following such as contained some mildly graphic content from your new milk. and i knew i was hit again. another small wound, i don't need any metal for this. it's awesome, great achievements. hit 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

tanzania, a say no to g. m. off the neighboring kenya lifted a 10 year bond on the farm and the impulse 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 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. can use decision to return to the open cultivation of g m crops was made after the was drowsing, 40 years along with issues in the global supply chain due to the conflict ukraine which led to mass hunger. i've only got the 2nd former presidential spur and for the 2023, joint nigerian election phase, genetically modified food is not right. 5 i use money in the right

clinically. what if i, where you have to use technology to modify the genes of that, you know, so that you can have high yield. but of course highly chemicals. this is a continent decided to buy a lot of disease in addition to the already exacerbated health issues that we have in africa. i to, we're just trying to see a lot of challenges into, into our continent. and honestly, i don't, we are right for july to can even if i to, we are living with him capacity to produce our own food simply because the middle dollar country from taking over the provisional $1440.00 in africa. fortunate was the only export, declined on bomb produce the we formula, countries for export. not really the gold where am produce the we can consume on it or know that we're coming to the point well by the global grinnell was on crisis is a 15 and disrupting the 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 logical need in general to kill him. would define for doug me likely be cubic allies also cause a lot of problems for the other guy. don't to write this kind of thing. i can africa should be able to have a truck to where we produce all he base will not trillion borrower since we have the line was and the capacity on do not mean wall or can be able to produce the quantity of food that we can just continue south korea and the us have been holding joint maritime drills in response to a north korean missile launch. as off the, a south korean ballistic missile malfunctioned and crashed into the outskirts of a military base this week during a live fight exercise conducted with american forces, the crash which occurred i made it heightened tensions with north korea, cause panic among local residence. i mean, usable official in a say, see where the incident took place the case, the government of using taxpayer money, the weapons that threaten the countries own people. the short range missile was equipped with a wall hedge that didn't designate upon empire no casualties were reported. the

exercises began days off the u as a vice president carmella harris visited south korea and a show of solidarity with sol as neighboring. north korea ramped up tests of its own strategic arsenal. early this week, the communist country test find a missile. they flew over japan and landed in the pacific ocean and with bonds, japan and the usaa to the un security council to take action accusing russia and china, enabling the north korean nuclear program. russia has said the sanctions against north korea have come to a dead end without to 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, says a clear effort by china and russia to reward dpr k for their bad actions and cannot be taken seriously by this council. i like, we're kind on the cold. she, she was china and russia have table to joined 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. russia and china have insisted that they joined us. south korean drills have provoked north korea. but the us on back to the us, rejected those remarks saying there is no equivalency between these 2 activities. earlier, no career or still acute washington and its allies of threatening it with a military build up. international journalist, eric some,

i believe north korea seed it's nuclear and miss all programs is a necessary to terrence against perceived regression. i should say on behalf of china because i'm a permanent resident of gender, 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 has had military forces stationed in south korea adjacent right to north korea since the korean war. and just before the recent missile jazz 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 i said weapons of mass destruction and didn't have any. so it was in dated as ukraine's president. zalinski has once again caught you appear needed to send additional weaponry to key as to why the media says little about how you train could possibly pay its massive debts. according to ukraine's finance ministry, the countries that total national debt is slowly creeping up to $100000000000.00. 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. we spoke to economist and author michael hudson, he says ukraine appears unlikely to be able to pay off its obligations to foreign palace. there's no way that you can pay the form that it's running

a huge deficit every year as the forest country in europe. and so the most corrupt country in europe, the money that i called for and that was not paid the ukrainians, it was paid to the collector prep, so like most k 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 your premium that at all, it is what economists call fraudulent or odious depth. and i think russia make this a case on what is already a step and it should be somehow expand the idea of audio step to what many other american satellites and global so countries. oh my thanks for keeping us company.
