if sheila, if the washington works well with the wash removal, democratize the news, a large fire or rather than russia. donnette republic as local officials, ukraine fired 6 high mars rockets in the attack. us lamb societies as royal back stabbers following the opec plus decision to splash oil output. brianna though, says the u. s. is fully responsible for the energy prices in the country. and we're dick. moscow isn't buying, he has attempt to attract president, going to call for preemptive strikes on russia by claiming he was actually calling for sanction the

from moscow to the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins. and these are the top stories this hour. we begin with the latest for mucho's don ask republic where the ukranian army has attacked. the city of yellow buys. let's take a look at some eye witness voted from the, from the scene a large fire or rapid. after 6 high mars rockets were launched by the cranium army at the city. that's according to local officials. there have been no reports of any casualties so far. the royal back stabbers, that was some us lawmakers are now calling saudi arabia over reorders moved to reduce oil output following the opec plus decision, other us officials or even calling for the president to cut off weapons supplies to the goals, kingdom the saudis need us more for weapons than we need them,

prison biden should make it clear that we will cut off weapons if public plus doesn't traverse the decision to make drastic costs and production in congress. we should also explore ways to raining up control over energy prices worldwide. the white house has long praise saudi arabia as a strategic partner, selling the country, large amounts of weapons just by joe biden, once pledging to make riata, a pariah during his presidential campaign. some u. s. congress members are also calling for a re think of the country's relationship with opec plus members with saudi arabia's actions being described as hostile to washington. meanwhile, the saudi minister of state says the u. s. itself is to blame for rising gas prices, which have nothing to do with crude oil supply. the idea of the told you to include would do this to harm the us or to be in any way politically involved this. absolutely not correct at all. with due respect to reason,

you have high prices in the united states because you have a refining shortage that has been in existence for more than 20 years. you haven't built refineries in decades are to caleb mop. it has more details on broad as decision and the u. s. reaction. well, essentially we have opec announcing they will be reducing the oil out by $2000000.00 barrels per day. now that is rattling the circles of power the united day. there is quite a bit of outrage. it's only been 2 days since the announcement already we're hearing the leaders of saudi arabia being described as back stabbers, putting a night in the back of the united states. here's what we've heard from unanswered questions about 911. the brutal murder of journalists, jamal cas shogi, and the exporting of extremism to dubious jailing of peaceful dissidence in conspiring with vladimir putin to punish the u. s. with higher oil prices. the saudi royal family has never been

a trustworthy ally of our nation. it's time for our foreign policy to imagine a world without this alliance with these royal back stabbers back stabbers. that is the language being used to describe the long time ally of the united states, the kingdom of saudi arabia. and it appears that they consider this to be a humiliation of joe biden, at a, consider this to be hurting the economic interests of the united states. and apparently, the united states feels that it has rights over saudi arabia's oil. you'll recall economist magazine recently i, you know, over the summer they tweeted out, meet mohammad been solomon, that's the count. brown, prince of south of saudi arabia, the millennial autocrat who controls our oil now that wheat was deleted because it is not their oil. it is by right, the oil of the kingdom of saudi arabia, according to the constitution, ah, but apparently the united states feels it has some rights over it as do the british

. now, at this point, what can the united states do? but rant and rave at the saudis for not doing what they want here. some of what we've heard, what saudi arabia did to help putin continue to wage his despicable, vicious war against ukraine will long be remembered by americans. we are looking at all the legislative tools to best deal with this appalling and deeply cynical action, though the no peck bill is up for discussion. this is a bill that would allow the united states to sue opec countries take them to court, possibly have you escort, seize their assets, if they don't do what the united states wants, that would allow civil actions against opec countries by the united states in retaliation for move such as this, that bill is up for discussion. in addition to that, the military relationship between the united states and saudi arabia is being questioned. this is what's been said as well. i just don't see any good reason for us to maintain troops that are there almost solely for the purpose of protecting

their oil fields and their security interests. there's no question that mohammed bin solomon, the crown prince of saudi arabia, shears putin's world view more than he shares ours. doesn't appreciate american advocacy for democracy in the world. now it's been 70 years that the united states has been aligned with the kingdom of saudi arabia. they've been one of the most loyal allies of the united states and nato in the region. you can recall after the 1979 iranian revolution, the reagan administration saying that they would never allow such a revolution to take place in saudi arabia. that is a steadfast, long time partner of the united states. but now we're seeing the circles of power in washington, turning on them pretty rapidly in response to recent moves around opec people will recall the words of former us president george w bush, who said you're either with us or against us. and that kind of thinking seems to be prevailing in washington dc. meanwhile,

energy has also been high on the agenda at an e u summit in prague. the blocks foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, said the opec bloss decision to slash oil production was a response to the new price cap underlining that energy has become the main geo political issue. look, a deal big was dad decision decreased this supply of coil, which is a clear answer to our proposal to price. it means that energy is becoming demotion. portland, jewish strategic issue today related with the war, but also to balance of power into will. dozens of you and other leaders gathered and, and check capital on thursday in an attempt to find unity in their anti russian policies . the new political community format sought to discuss security and energy among other topics. however, efforts to find common ground on the latest measures,

such as a price cap and further anti russian sanctions seem to have failed. r t contributor rachel mars in explains why there were 44 countries united. discussing the challenge herself today. and it showed how much russia isolated by ma'am, the new e u political community and invention of french president emanuel mack holes consisting of the 27 nations block and 17 other countries most of which aspire to join the e. u has just wrapped up this inaugural p. r exercise in prague. now the whole point of this event in prague at 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. so 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 all just this week. for example, as brussels adopted 8 round of anti russian sanctions. belgium in italy sat on their hands as brussels band, semi center 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 law showed in greece over their territorial disputes in the region and accused the you of supporting illegal activities masquerading, his 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 robert havoc 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 showed with a here today,

we often talked about the eggers from of germany. it clearly shows that it cannot be the case that the european unit energy policies being dictated by germany. 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, yes, it doesn't really matter than 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 in the best position to be stuck with bills to right. historical ross, italy was recently chastised by and none other than european commission president

ursula vander line. the almighty queen of europe, herself just before voting in a populous government. so now italy finds itself teetering on the edge of pariah status at b. 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 it tends to project unity in prague, there's a lot more going on beneath the smiles in the class photo from this particular summit. senior research fellow of the global policy institute of one, george sam welly explains the difficulty is that the summit, which include bad timing and the lack of unifying factors aside from hostility towards russia. a lot of these sessions they have no real purpose. so, i mean, you know, there's so many of these kinds of forums and european council,

the european parliament, european commission. oh, it's the, the now that come up with a new one, the european political community and the invention of a man, a well man wrong. and that doesn't do any work other than what we still love one, the lion declared, which is when we rule against russia, we will hate russia. and that's, that seems to be them mantra and nothing else to say, no agreement on anything. there's no decision on what to do in the future, but we're all united in hating russia. the timing is not exactly a grade particularly when, who still on the why and keeps talking about european unity and suddenly both of them greed bringing up issues from 75 years ago and was bringing such issues can have no software

while the outcome because germany is not going to pay anything. and further steps against russia were discussed on the foreign sidelines with a surprising suggestion coming from poland. prime minister, who claim to russia's frozen assets in europe should be divided with part of them going to warsaw, lipscomb. i have pointed out one source that is relatively easy to obtain in terms of resources, the frozen assets of the russian oligarchs, and the russian federation. these assets, amount to approximately 350000000000 euros. and today, these funds can be used for the benefit of ukraine, which should be rebuilt with this money, which could also be used for the needs of you and polish residence. i don't understand how poland can justify that their enterprises that their companies get some part of that money. why them? it will come up immediately from the baltic states from the czech republic,

slovakia, hungary, and the country's germany probably would dare do it. bit of a conscious we'll say, one of the us. what about our companies? so this is an ill fated this request from ball. it won't work sorry, missed the prime minister. you know, i don't think it will work. it will be another pickering dispute within the $27.00 european countries to know who will get what money ukraine's president is now back tracking on his comments, urging a preemptive nato strike on russia, claiming he was misunderstood. and i said you have to do preventive kinks. not a dex yahoo! just because at the show that amber g as in order to pull those do pro and do an excited thermal g a, there was a 0 in the trim a do month in priorities ago. keeble did poor jim latimer zalinski and says he was simply urging the west to impose more sanctions,

claiming the kremlin is preparing society for the possible use of nuclear weapons. he added, he would never call for nuclear armageddon, as that would equate him to a terrorist of the wording he used, however, translated from ukrainian literally as preemptive strikes, russian officials say they are unconvinced by zalinski is back. tracking at 10 could lead me lean young. the child develop the winners of the space shuttle when that'll boise, what should nato do? eliminate the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons. i once again appeal to the international community as it was before february 24th. we need preemptive strikes, so that russia would know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons, not the other way around, to wait for rushes nuclear strikes, and then say, oh no. okay, then take this yog of cheddar yesterday, zalinski called on his western masters to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on russia. with this statement, he's essentially shown the whole world. more evidence of the threats emanating from

the key regime, which the special operation was launched to neutralize sort of attempts by zalinski secretaries to claim that he meant something else or ridiculous. so in these situations landscape, like his entire regime has got a taste and is beginning to dictate his own conditions, both to nature and to the you go, can you show you what is legal and media analyst ally and all says as incomprehensible to even discuss nuclear threats, have we as a species forgotten? what nuclear conflict is? have we honestly do we need a refresher course into what we're talking about? i mean, i, i understand that we have various degrees of amnesia. tolstoy you said history would be a wonderful thing if the were only true, but i'm hearing about this and i'm hearing about war and aggression as though we're playing some kind of a game. and i,

i think this is insanity even to be discussing this cavalierly because also it's not so much that a nuclear war could be triggered it or, or actually on directed like things could be triggered. once this starts, there's no calling it back, you know, did there was, yeah, okay. and enough, that was a mistake. that was a, that was a typographical mistake. i, i didn't really mean that this i, i can't believe. i'm frankly hearing what i'm hearing. the winners of this year's nobel peace prize were announced on friday with the ukranian president absent from the list. he was nominated for the prestigious award by the european parliament back and march drawn criticism from some quarters. the european parliament is proposing the president of ukraine as a candidate for the nobel peace prize. how is one of the actors in the war going to receive the nobel peace prize on there others who fight for peace? why not?

pope francis or the u. n. director there must be many others the whole notion of this peace prize. it's fascinating. you know, mahatma gandhi never received the nobel peace prize in 1953. george marshall, who was a secretary state of new york of the us, received it. and people were very critical and curious because he had been a combatant. but it was because of his post war activities in 2009 bronco obama received the peace prize after being in office barely 8 months and years. something interesting in times of your there were very careful as sometimes not even given out during world war one. there was no peace prize from 39 to 43. there were no peace prizes and in 1948. i believe the year that mama gandhi a died, they said no one was entitled to it. if you look at the history of it, very rarely,

if never, has there been an actual combatant, in what would called either a military operation or a war who received aid peace prize for i think, obvious reasons. 9 members of the organization of american states, almost one 3rd of the union have refused to vote for a us back resolution against russia. the list includes countries like brazil, mexico, argentina, and others. the document was aimed at condemning moscow's military operation in ukraine and was supported by 24 other members of the american regional block. back in april, the organisation stripped russia of its permanent observer status. a move that was also opposed by several members of the union. professor of latin american and caribbean studies, daniel shaw says the policies of some regional states show how the era of u. s. domination is coming to an end. awkward for

a long time. washington has been used to seeing the organization of american states since its founding in 1948 is an instrument of their policy. to have so much rebellion within their ranks comes as a surprise for how long could they control the foreign policy. specifically of mexico in now brazil, argentina, and of course the bill of aryan block countries have said no, we're not going to go along with your foreign policy. we can see very clearly that needle is the principal guilty party that has brought this aggression to russia's quarters. the era of us had gemini, of running roughshod over the country sovereignty across the world is coming to a screeching halt. look at the elections this year in columbia, and what will this mean internally? and in many of these countries, these are massive confrontations within pedo, within mexico. it's ongoing in brazil,

so there's no easy victories. there's no promises. but certainly every day, the foreign policy of these different countries in south america, in the caribbean, in all the 3rd world becoming more and more independent of washington hackers, fans, former prime minister m ran con, has claimed to multiple individuals were conspiring to assassinate him. warning, the names of the plotters would be revealed to the nation if anything should happen to him or rally was organized by cons. party and pakistan has been john province where he called on his followers to march on to his lama bad and fight for real freedom against the current government. the last march, organized by con on the capital and may of this year saw protesters reach parliament and clash with police. the former piano has consistently claimed the u. s. is behind his ousting and his influence inc. pakistani politics?

well, when we will answer islamabad, the government will flee before we get their pieces. a war for freedom. the change of slavery will not break by themselves. can i get freedom? you'd have to fight for it. at the moment, the u. s. has imposed their slaves as our rulers, and we have to fight them. a british minister prompted laughter from the audience on a t v program. after trying to play the vladimir putin card, instead of apologizing for the economic turmoil caused by the government's $45000000000.00 pound tax cuts, yet with that the media booted wanted to do, he wants to be divided right now. i think people alone would have to do with a simple apology to stay below you already. i changed the policy or of course, i'm sorry you. the british government's tax cuts,

package triggered the pounds fall to record lows, while also pushing up inflation and interest rates. the bank of england implemented an emergency 65000000000 pound bond buying program to stem. the crisis triggered by the government's decisions in a new interview. prime minister list trust was challenged to admit she'd had a bad start and office to which she responded by blaming poon for domestic ann global problems. let's remember what we were facing 4 weeks ago, but you were saying so we left 500 power minister. my clan, we and how we it all today and school use. my question was, do you accept you've had a rocky storm? well, what i am saying is that we have acted decisively in the face of very, very difficult international circumstances where pizza has been perpetrating the war and you find it trusses also and hot water over warnings of potential 3. our power cuts during the approaching winter season. she tried to downplayed the fears,

but failed to give any guarantees that britain will not be left in the dark schemes to encourage people to use electricity at all times are being developed. but the proposal is already being slammed by the media. political analyst, alexander mckay, says britain are buying the excuse that the problems are all russia fault is trying the, the tax it that was pioneered by joe biden. earlier this year when he called the energy price arises in the united states, putin's price like that didn't work for joe biden. it's not working full is trusts . if you look at the opinion polls since august of this year, they have consistently shown. busy that the british population blames the government over hootin or over even the energy companies in britain itself. so. busy it's clearly a tactic that her spin doctors have told her to use the. nobody's buying it any more and blaming everything on the russian government is simply not going to be

believed by people. if the lights go out, it's going to be trust that gets blamed, and her government is going to be pitched into an even greater crisis than it is in already. this is the end point of a 30 years of us. various failed policies and less trust is at the end of this process and he's inheriting a 30 year long mass, which she is trying to turn around and failing to turn around inside 3 months. so this is a generational failure that has left britain exposed to the fluctuations of international energy markets un, unable to produce so energy. the only solution in the immediate period is to end the chaos in the international energy market. and that means ending the sanctions regime against russian energy, which is failing to do anything significant to the russian economy, but as tanking the economies of europe and increasing energy and security. at least one person was wounded on friday as the ukrainian army, shall they, russian,

border village. any belgrade region, 1st cons as novelization efforts are still under way all across russia with border regions being one of the most active. we spoke to some of the volunteers who told us why they decided to santa, but reggie skip of younger brussel of most of the patriotic uplift in our border regions is quite high. we are well aware of how all this threatens us. we have understood this since 2014 civilians here are already helping soldiers in refugees . many have already been mobilized. there were many volunteers. we got to it was a young solution with us. got the lou we live close to the border. we hear explosions, the sound of artillery a little. we understand everything perfectly. we are close to all of this. until a person feels all this physically, he will not wake up in sight with home. therefore we are ready more than others with. yep, already delicious, lose him. i will go to defend my homeland. my loved ones, though, all my friends from the belgrade region are ready to stand up for their families and friends for their homeland. archie's roman coast her out visited belgrade to

see how the mobilization is going in the city. this used initiative sensor in the city of the girl already saw hundreds of mobilized soldiers. and when they come in here, this is where the process looks like. they submit their documents right here, and then they move on to a medical exam. we have the doctors here and nurses and the potential soldiers receive a full medical checkup before there are enlisted into the army. now, according to the military who are sitting here or accepting these a potential soldiers, there are plenty of volunteers as well as the people who were mobilized. unfortunately, they can accommodate all of the volunteers because not all of the military professions are opened. at this point, once all the paperwork is complete,

the soldier moves on to this station where he gets measured for uniform. this is where the orders are taken. also, the soldier will receive a free cellphone and a free seen card so that he can stay in touch with his family and friends. this station right here provides the soldier with a bank card where he will receive the salary from the government. also, regional government is making a one time payment to the family of the soldier and it amounts to $100000.00 roubles, which is a little less than $2000.00. another group, all mobilized soldiers and volunteers, will be leaving from a belgrade to a training center. and then they will move to the special military operation. farewells harvey says to them by their friends and families. of course everyone is hoping there will be back home soon. safe and sound from on call for
