question, did you say it requested check? the news news in the most go cases, ukraine's presence are trying to solve a world war that's off of them is that those key calls on nato to launch a korea. right. i didn't russia washing thinking this retaliatory measures against saudi arabia over the o take plus decisions or cut or production despite job biden's assets to keep prices down. your pay lead us twice at both about you to say during a major summit, despite escalating political and economic disputes among some of the countries on kenya. bog fears a neighboring kind of genetically modified called use entering the east african

country. and i rode the lists of bound to help tackle as blowing to the very welcome at 6 pm here in the washing capital. and this is nancy international with the latest world news updates. it's good to have with us. moscow has accused ukraine's presidency calling for the start of a world war. that's off the lot of miss lensky. nato's launch preemptive strikes against russia. foreign minister. so a lot of upside. lensky was the us lead block to new the country of cheddar, zelinski, but his little sl yesterday zalinski called on his western masters to launch a preemptive nucleus 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. a new to rise 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 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. she knew 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 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. ah,

go as far as sailing 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 and kiya is at this point depending 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 near 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 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. 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 brain president that are pretty tantamount to calling for world war 3. the korean president, spokes person was quick to scramble for damage control and just tried to walk back the lensky statements claiming that he was actually talking about sanctions notes, military force, which should have been imposed against russia before february 24th. or this comes as joe biden say, the risk of nuclear alma get in is that his highest since $962.00 cuban missile crisis will discuss the 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 it. 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 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 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, joseph burrell has spoken out about the opec plus decision to cut all the production. think it was clearly a response to the you introducing a price cap on russian energy supplies. fluctuation, playing games with the price of gas. certainly look a deal back with that decision to decrease this reply of coil, which is a clear answer to our proposal to price avoiding function. now the

market has been dominated by him and legalistic site on the supply. and now we want to limit to price is sunday, mid answer has been to decrease quantities. thus after the top us diplomat, anthony blank and said, washington is exploring a range of options on how to react. spend moved by opec plus, reportedly the u. s. is nasty, can get to secure cheap oil supplies from venezuela with a dose of finally ease its destructive sanctions on the south american country. meanwhile, the largest used oil trade groups wrote a letter to energy secretary jennifer granholm expressing concern that washington is considering limiting, gets filled exports to lower consumer prices. they said to move, could disrupt global markets, reduce domestic refining capacity and alienate us allies. as a prominent folks, news host, to a point found that joe biden, how to set himself that the us would quote, 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 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 the nurse team to, 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 got to stop there. that's out. 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 host of i thought was

a pause. oksana boy kind of joined me in the studio earlier to break down the ramifications auto pay 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 that 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 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 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 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 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 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 no different but it's it's serving bab jack if practical, national interest then 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, 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 even the united states that have its own strategic all reserves and the bite. an 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 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. dozens of your opinion as, as sitting down to talks in prague in an attempt to demonstrate unity and tackling the energy crisis. oh, trying to form a common approach to sanctions against russia on support the ukraine. but the summit comes at some glaring disagreements as showing through the cracks of relations, but among european countries themselves, as also contributes a way to most and explains the new e u political community and invention of french president, a menu and mac holes consisting of the 27 nation block and 17 other countries most of which aspire to join the e. u has just wrapped up is inaugural 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 particularity in favor of ukraine and against russia. while papering over any other cracks in the solidarity facade. it said the kind of thing that's been happening a lot lately within the, you know, we all know people like this in our own lives. they arrive at the party. it's all lovey dovey, kissy kissy and you know, darn well that in the car just before they got there. they had a huge blow up bull just this week. for example, as brussels adopt an 8 round of anti russian sanctions. belgium in italy sat on their hands as of brussels band, semi sinner steel products from russia, despite knowing full well the hit that their own steel industries risk taking as a result. so they just kind of towed the line, but likely aren't thrilled about it. so during this summit, craps didn't show none, the less turkish president air to one used his platform to la showed in greece over

their territorial disputes in the region and accused the e. u. of supporting illegal activities masquerading is unity or solidarity. so he didn't mince words there. the block is upset with norway for maintaining high energy prices and profits amid the gas crunch caused by brussels auto sanctions. german economy minister rob had that brought up the issue of so called friends like the u. s. and norway exploiting e u countries desperation through price gouging. earlier this week, french president, michael used his summit platform to repeat his opposition to building a new gas connection between spain and france, which germany really wants. because it would allow cheap gas from north africa to flow into neighboring you countries and germany as well. but let's face it, france would lose a market in the long run for its l. n. g plans. if it supported the project,

you k prime minister list trust was also in attendance and made a point of calling michael a friend. even though just weeks ago she said that the jury is out on whether he's a friend or foe for britain. but here it was, all smiles, kind of, she doth protest too much. perhaps the polish prime minister didn't miss the opportunity to pick yet another fight with germany. you show to say, 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 until financial 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. as such. guess it doesn't really 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 rationing from you. energy sanctions isn't exactly the best position to be stuck with bills to write. historically ross, italy was recently chastised by none other than european commission president ursula fonder line. the almighty queen of europe, herself just before voting in a new, far right, populous government. so now italy finds itself teetering on the edge of pariah status at the e. u. alongside that other perennial pariah hungry whose prime minister had this to say about brussels performance. russia has not been brought to it's nice at all. while european economies saw bleeding out, it is evident that the policy of sanctions must 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. oh join a guy that live from brussels now he's independent journalist at liquid bay li committee. thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see you now. a head off. they said his stomach is still going on in prague. the belgian government is abstained from a vote on the latest package of sanctions against russia since one extend to is this an isolated case or part of a growing trend among european countries to fend for themselves perhaps here? well, egoism, as was mentioned earlier, a is leading the pack in europe for the moment. you know, when belgium especially now sees with dismay that the steel products from and i m k, would not reach the belgian factories of the giant steel factory steel company in russia . is one of the largest with 21 percent of steam producing in russia to have 2 big

factories more than 2000 people in belgium. and our prime minister is of course, ill at ease. because on the one hand, he asked to wrong or show a united front of europeans. and on the other hand, he has the trade unions that of socialist party and all the parties actually that's a man called pill factories for 2000 people just like that. and on this is a big problem for alexander the cro who's only quality is to be the son of a proven and politician of that. the case before you. it's what you call nicholas, you know, in our democratic western states. so i'm sure to call to some know what to do, actually, especially since you're wants to go further with the diamonds coming from russia, that would kill or, or if a bad blow to the end put on diamond industry. another loss of jobs that would be fantastic. and that is also something very close, close to my house, actually dead look, fall from and then on k in love. yeah. and,

and topic there is the largest factor in europe producing a more now to make fertilizes out of gas. and guess what, if stop production weeks ago already because of the lack of gas, lack of gas for the raw material of their product, but also for the energy used to produce it. so this is terrible, as the or bank said, we are shooting ourselves in the foot. we don't need russia for that. we do in our, the european and these are really d industrialized europe fast and incredibly stupid. and the pick of course is so, you know, smiles and handshakes, but there are some issues that are becoming increasingly glaring an issue, for example, in southeast, in europe, turkey and greece there increasingly at odds over the disputed island of cyprus, among other issues. and while both countries are european members of nato,

of course, how far to expect this conflict to go? well, i mean, there are many of the small conflicts going on within the one before a prior conference and all in sudden europe, between turkey and greece, the situation is very, very bad and cypress as well, of course. so this will, this has been all for decades for may be 60 years it's, it's, it has worse than that times. and for the mormon, it's probably one of the worst moments because of the discovery of gas and oil off the coast of cyprus, by the turks and say it's our territory, waters side process the same. so it's impossible to solve. but i would just like to say a little something about something personal. it is that yesterday my baker, you know, bakery brown the corner on told me with tears in his eyes that he was stopping. he stuck, he stops his business because he cannot bay is electricity and gas bill. he asked

to stop. there is no, we can't sell his bread 3 times the price. and so you have tens of these small shops, small businesses, all over europe, that close now and there governments, our governments don't say a thing about that. and i suppose the only solution they could find is, is to use tax money to give it back to the people somehow in order to alleviate the problems that they created themselves. you know, it's not blackmail from russia. it's, it's, are all blackmail, you know, killing iran is through our cells and all the elements that you've shown that you've shown a bad proc and l. what is under a surface? it's really showing that europe is not united at all. well, with all these a little nickels and disputes between the attendees at the products, and they do expect the attitude i saw made so actually, and with any decisions or resolutions, no decision. oh,

it's only a communication effort. you know it's p r, public relations, death and tastic, p. r. specialist monsieur nicole, who was to wear spoken yesterday and says that everything is fine and he's gonna bring solutions everywhere on from us out by john. and i mean, out to war, i suppose fin lunch and russia, but it's just work. you know, people, people don't believe effect. they don't believe this. they see nice faces smiling at everything. but it's only an effort at communication and it's, it's written so also even this up in the subsidized press in europe all the main space to say that it is only an effort act communicating. oh unity. and it shows that it's not that there are things that the, the western countries aren't as planning russia for the spiraling energy crisis. now they're also naming each other as the me, you officials have accused no way in the u. s. a n refusing to sell them of cheap

a gas. there was countries you think a poor is to profit from such disputes at the expense of others. i don't think anybody is is but i mean norway, of course this is not a member of the be in union. norway is selling, it's guy said that a good price said more than a good price america the same. so they are profiting certainly from the department that we have created to ourselves as europeans, with the stoppage of delivery of rush and gas. we had to decide small russia we have decided to create problems to ourselves. and it's small somehow, but norway makes big gains out of this selling that gas, but they won't do it for long because and in some, 5 years time, the reserves will be dwindling and norway has no more gas software. so by then we will need to have american gas, if again, if the ships to transport it are already because they need to be built some

$12300.00 chips need to be built to, to deliver the american guess to heat up. if that is the solution, if of course, because fall the rest, as you said earlier, you know, they're trying to find many solutions with how julia, with the south of europe. and it's very complicated and there is no solution. not they were very independent. there are less many thanks for joining us on the program. appreciate your time. thank you. now, the latest one, rush has cast on region where 5 people have reportedly been killed off. the ukrainian forces allegedly struck civilian areas with a suspected us applied high mas massages system. here the latest pictures we have with the images said to show the aftermath of the attack. 2 buses were destroyed while at least 3 people were also reportedly wounded. across i across in the russian republic of don. yes, garcey correspondent andre seal it off as being wounded for a 2nd time. he was grazed by some shrapnel while pausing in a back on

a battle in the area. the following footage contained some mildly graphic content. i get some your new milk and i knew i was hit again. another small wound i knew, i don't need any metal for this. this awesome great achievement. it had me right here in my hip. it's not a big deal. i'll go get an x ray. you probably didn't strike any of my bones, so if you is something to fuss about, give them, i'll recover from this and return to work. sure we can, you can corner tanzania, essays, no to g. i know that off the neighboring kenya lifted at 10 you had been on the farming and imports of genetically modified slopes. 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 concerns 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 off to the west strauss in 40 years, along with issues in a global supply chain due to the conflict in ukraine which led to mass hunger as on the gob of the 2nd former presidential aspirant. for the 2023 nigerian elections that st. genetically modified food is not vied for africa. okay, he's not in the right foot, genetically modified food, 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 the continent described in my not to be in addition to the already exacerbated health issues that we have in africa. i don't why just trying to feed a lot of challenges into, into all continent. and honestly, i don't to have like full genetic anymore. if i think we are live with him capacity

to prove our own food, simply because the middle dollar currently is taking over the progression of $1440.00 in africa, 14 was the only export, declined on bomb produce the we find, you know, countries for export not really the kind of where i'm 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 affecting and disrupting the supply chain. we are unable to produce all wood annually, although we're willing to get from the wisdom. what is technology? can you believe in? generally, what if i for doug me likely be cubic allies also cause a lot of problems for that. other guy don't to analyze this kind of dig it up for car should be able to have is talk to where we produce all based on natural environment. since we have the land mass and the capacity on the natural, i mean wall or can be able to remove the quantity of food that we compose them in this one too. many thanks for joining us here in our to international will be back at the top of the hour with the very latest. mm.
