a just a line for that our live on our international power has now been restored to around 2000 people in the russian region of belgrade. very close to the ukrainian border offer. a sub station was reportedly shelled by keith's forces with we're working proactively and within the opec plus framework that president vladimir putin says, cooperation between russia and the united arab emirates, aims to create stability and global energy market. both the concept in ukraine must not end in america, economic domination, and a weakening of the so the problem is finance minister wants to you again to

washington's quote, gas domination, pointing out that imported liquefied natural gas from the us costs 4 times more than on america's own domestic market with coming to you from moscow. this is asi, international from a rural res to show you the entire news team here of variable. welcome to here. so key is forces or portly sheldon substation in the russian region of belgrade. it's very close to the ukranian border. the attack left around 2000 people without power after a transformer was history. although authorities now say paula has since been restored, as we understand there are no reports of any casualties. however, more details available with our correspondent eager shadow. it seems that he is sort of trying to bite back as for the 2nd consecutive days. it's a major cities and towns are under well, almost a constant bombardment and under constant missile drone attacks are coming from

russia. now rush of course is targeting the critical energy infrastructure in ukraine, which is sort of a major shift in its policy towards how it's waging the war in the country. but right now ukraine is trying to retaliate for that and are they have indeed targeted? apparently a power station, or in just outside the russian town of belgrade. the town of belgrade itself is fine, but a smaller one town. indeed, some, several 1000 people have been left out without electricity and this sold but situation, i have to say to bit of a catch 22 because russia basically russia explained its attacks and it said that well, cave had previously escalated, had swell its attacks on the russian soil on the critical infrastructure on civilian cities, on the cities of wool on the town of lou ganske on the outskirts of la guns, the towns of the nets could towns on the russian territory. they even sheldon monastery and of course the so to speak,

crowning jewel of all that was the bombing of the crimea bridge. so that was the, apparently the red line that rush had been talking so much about since the beginning of its special operation. so yesterday we sure a truly massive in its scale missile attack and drone attack on the critical infrastructure of ukraine. today. it continued this activity. ah, it continued to not as large scale as it was yesterday, but still dozens of missiles hit our power stations, thermal power stations in ukraine, and other military and will energy sector our facilities. and so are right now. apparently key of forces is trying to well bite back. and again, it leaves the whole, this whole situation in a state when no, no state wants to back down and even waleen ukraine, the damage has already been well, not critical. no, we're still far from that, but rather extensive still, and people on the ground in ukraine, they are ling at the zone rolling blackouts that have been announced. there's

problems with the water supply problems with electricity supply in ukraine. pretty much you close to all major regional centers. so right now russia basically rushes message has been stopped targeting our territory, stop targeting rushes, critical infrastructure, blake, for months. russia kinda withheld this ability with held this power out to attack to attack a ukraine's critical infrastructure. deep behind enemy lines, russia called for to a to a for you, for the ukraine to stop called on key of to stop. but well, right now, the ukranian now the ukranian authorities and military command are showing no signs of ever intending to do so. lo, ethan countries out meanwhile, reacted with condemnation and furious rushes on. miss al, strikes on ukraine, germany immediately vowing ascended bonds to a different system to the country. in the meantime,

estonia is prime minister said that russia was using terrorist tactics. but as despite just a few days ago, a stony as top diplomat, congratulating ukraine for blowing up the crimea bridge. la rushes foreign minister, sir gala for off, has denounced what he called hypocrisy in western attitude. zappa, the good, the west plays a game called here. nothing, see nothing when the last keys at fault, but when russia finally respond seriously, when it's no longer able to tolerate the crimes of the key presumed the terrorist attacks of the key frizzy. and then everyone immediately begins to come to the nation, including to my great regret, the un secretary general and tony with their s, as in other situations, has maintained a deathlike silence and showed nothing of his excitement or his concern. which of the actions that were taken yesterday by the russian military, he has suddenly begun to fret and with the west branding russia is, as i saw in ukraine as terrorism, just for a moment here on the program. let's look back in your comparison and how the western media justified nato stripes on the balkans in the 1990 is calling them

a door to peace with joe biden. at the time being one of the loudest voices for quote, bringing the sons to heal. i was suggesting we bomb belgrade. i was suggesting that we send american pilots in and blow up the bridges on the drain. and i was suggesting, we take out his oil supplies, we will continue to impose costs on rush reports, aggression, hold prudent in russia accountable for its atrocities and war crimes. and provide the support necessary for ukraine forces to defend their country and their freedom . defending the freedom of albanians and cause it was the explanation from the west for nato's bombing of serbia in 190909. look at these pitches the intervention which did not have the approval of the un loss of $78.00 days. that left parts of the country and ruin nato forces hit a serbian tv channel, the while us bomb struck the chinese embassy in belgrade,

killing 3 journalists of asia. even if he was nato of a gross violation of international law and the killing of a number of innocent civilians, nato claims old targets. while the gentlemen lie discuss the storage, it's been earlier in the program with a serbian and political analyst alexander the package. he believes when it comes to ukraine. western professional partners are not interested in a peaceful resolution. we have proof now that russia trying to reach produce back in late march are only a pro. and of course, what happened was that the western powers, mainly washington and london. i mean, boy johnson flew to kiev to tell zaleski if he doesn't, if he reaches piece of piece agreement with russia and he's not going to get support of it, it's not going to be supported by london a washington. ever since then, there's been absolutely no sign that the west wants peace and as long as the west

doesn't want peace, there won't be any peace because the laskey will keep sending tens of thousands of young man to. ready law, totally senseless. that's because the west wants to wage war on russia until the last ukrainian that's totally obvious is one of the most cynical wars in history and russia just passed to stop that in any way possible. that's the only way to stop was for. so a victory for vladimir putin and ukraine would be a defeat for nato. that's according to the alliance as secretary general get installed and bug who cited a common threat as the need to keep pumping weapons and to ukraine. that is important for all of us that ukraine wins um, the battle, the war against the invading russian forces. but because if putin wins that is not only a big defeat for ukrainians, but it all the defeat and dangers for all of us because it will make the world more

dangerous and it will, will make us more vulnerable for further russian aggression. what mr. so that brings us to really enlarge the wall and be the in profit and benefit of the nato state weapon industry. no one else will be in crawford by that, because then just be in lash like we can see the wall where the natal states involved with reference to the ukraine where the u. s. and the british government for ukraine to stop in the locations or major state governments in the moment, not strong enough or not really to stop this aggressive course, which only will lead to more people that and the ukraine and gone through all the mall because escalating them all the nato is involved in

leads into chaos on bureau, and maybe for all the was we really, really, really have to stop as president vladimir putin has said, cooperation between russia and the united arab emirates is aimed at creating well global security energy around the world. as opposed to actually come to markets regionally and globally now is comments came as the leaders of the 2 countries met in some petersburg, the venice of the north had a very cordial meeting, big fat handshake details. now, with a trend, the most important message was about opec plus. so, just a few days after the opec plus nation's reached an agreement on or production caught, the russian president vladimir putin refuted western claims that moscow teamed up with other or producing countries to cause problems for other nations. were working

proactively and within the opec plus framework. i know your position, our decisions and our actions are not directed against anyone. we are not acting in a way that would cause problems for anyone. our combined actions are aimed at creating stability on the global energy markets. so the consumers, producers, and suppliers feel safe, stable, and secure. the united arab emirates, along with russia and saudi arabia are a key opec, plus member and all opec members were under fire last week for agreeing on a production caught of $2000000.00 barrels a day, which saw prices climb. most of the anger came from the us, where the president joe biden has been desperate to keep fuel prices low. in fact, it's been widely reported that american diplomats ahead of the opec plus meeting in vienna put an enormous amount of pressure on oil, which gulf countries the goal was to force them to refuse the production caught.

but it didn't work. and there you have, it's the president of the united arab emirates is in st. petersburg talking about the strengthening of ties with russia. it only shows that at least from now era countries are nowhere near the ranks of russia haters. well, i mean, while washington is looking to rethink its ties to saudi arabia after the kingdom chose to back opec's decision to reduce oil production by 2000000 barrels a day. many democrats, according for the immediate suffrage to weapons sales to riyadh. i think the president's been very clear that this is the relationship that we need to continue to reevaluate that we need to be willing to revisit and certainly in light of the opec decision. i think that's where he is, and he's willing to work with congress to think through what that relationship ought to look like going forward. or i've crossing life the journalist african returns he joining us live here in this hour on the program a very good evening to you. so as always, great to see you. so look,

it was just weeks ago, joe biden, cap and hand went to re add, looking for a production and a boost in oil production. he went back to washington, calling it a success. now we have opec saying that going to reduce production, and yet as you know, after washing washington is always, it always likes to boast about its close ties to the saudis. now it seems like right now there's a, a bit of a shift in that relationship. what do you think? it's such a collapse in decades. olga geopolitical relationships, isn't it? i mean, we just look at the united states. i mean, you could actually say 2 things. i mean, i want to get on to the you a because you a president was in st. petersburg in the past few hours and it just that fact. i mean if you take all of your politics away from it, this town do buy it. it's booming. so any politician here arguably is going to go look at the fuel cards in the poverty in european union and the catastrophic economic consequences in the u. s. i'm going to look eastwards, but that,

that to one side, if for historically the united states over through a democratically elected government, iran setting in training the islamic revolution than they sanctioned iran. so then what do they do? they sanction venezuela, they try to over there the gum to venezuela, go chavez. and try to overcome again, cost of sanctions, killing an estimated $40000.00 people in venezuela. they then sanction russia, they were saying they were going to sanction russia in oil products before anything happened as regards bruton trying to rescue the people of julietta can lance in ukraine. so we're all, they seem to have done it sabotaged themselves one time after another. and now suddenly when saudi arabia seems to me looking eastwards, just as the way he and all of us plus, arguably, are off golf course. and they're going to suddenly go, look, we'll threaten you in other ways. janet yellen, treasury secretary, this is not a white move, and then suddenly the weapon ization of human rights. you mentioned that you

mentioned sanctions against iran just a moment ago, many, many would say that sanctions against iran are also targeting china. so i guess in some sense, you're going to get 2 birds with one stone there that way when it comes to opec actually saying we're gonna, we're gonna cut production. we haven't seen any retaliatory matches from washington yet, but i guess what could america and it's western allies do over the opec decision that clearly not happy about it? well, given that they are tied in to a near, liberally comic framework and the interest rates are correlated to oil prices, historically, that's why i'll prices and the, and the power of this region i'm speaking to you from is so absolute and usually has been arguably a proxy for united states policy. why it's so important. what can the united states all it seems to be able to do is use cultural weapons, restart. it was only a few hours after hours just before the you. a president chang. mom had been zayden,

arrived at st. petersburg, b, b, c was trying to arguably insult the ruler of you by. and suddenly we're going to be seeing stories about human rights in saudi arabia. we never did that before. when all the campaigners were talking about human rights in the biden administration abroad, reportedly saying, oh, well, now we will look into ideas about yemen and supplies. so basically they'll use the media, which seems to be working just fine as a, as a complete stenographer propaganda system in western countries. and then they will also use human rights, which is an insult, arguably hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of workers in humanitarian. and joe's and human rights groups who believe that human rights is somehow a political and about politics. hopefully, all those people who work in the human rights. and you will understand today from the comments coming from washington,

that actually human rights to something just to be leveraged, one way the other by the united states, as regards their power to be able to arguably oppress the entire global south. african, i've really got no time here, but i've got to squeeze out 30 seconds more if i can. as you mentioned earlier, the leader of the u. e was meeting with president putin in the venice of the north, in saint petersburg to day, both sides seeming to make clear that, that they want to stabilize the energy markets around the world. but we're seeing such movements, a geopolitical and jew economic movements on the global chess board these days with the bricks and the s c o and, you know, representing 75 percent of the world's working class. and the major energy holders as well. just just quickly, you've got very little time here, but how would you sum up the geopolitical and do economic moves? we're seeing on a chess board right now. well, i think her match g n a column is michael hudson levey. mr. clements, have you spoken to him? before said in the past few days for ages it's been very hard to imagine a complete realignment of the world economic system. but ironically,

thanks to joe biden, brussels nato, the european union. they finally catalyzed the conditions in which governments all over the world, including usual u. s. allies, saudi arabia, u e, that alone the global south. they suddenly realize we have to do something. we can't live in a world where sanctions rule, the world economy. we have to start making a new world world for ourselves, but benefits the vast majority of people, enough journalist option returns the always a pleasure to see you. thanks very much for your time. i thank you for joining us as well. and while the you endeavors to rid itself of russian energy supplies, the block has been increasing as dependents on american shipments of liquefied natural gas, which chanced france has pointed out, costs to exponentially more than imports from near by russia. it booker singleton the conflict in ukraine, must not. and in america, economic domination, and a weakening of the new, we cannot accept that our american partner self is l. n. g,

for $14.00 to price, at which it sells it to its manufacturer. simple. it's apparently a time of reckoning across the eel is there might be left out in the cold by the very same people who promised that everything would be okay. that americans, friends, finance minister, bruno a mare is just the latest european politician to point out the rural fact that washington is getting reach of europe's misery. this has been especially evident in germany, which has taken the brunt of the energy crisis in the last week, along to top officials and burly, and have lashed out at american allen, j companies. some countries including friendly ones, sometimes achieve astronomical prices for their guess. of course that brings with the problems that we have to talk about the use contacted us when oil prices shot up and the natural oil reserves in europe were tapped as a result, i think such solidarity would also be good for curbing gas prices. the numbers to measure accusations, let's just take one company of houston based shinier energy,

which made almost 750000000 in the 2nd quarter of this year. that's more than double the same period last year, blast and estimated shipping price boy single cargo of u. s. l n g to europe is about 1000000 dollars a day. talk about decide to some, after all the u. s. secretary of state and, and the blank and has promised that the blowing up of the noise stream pipelines would be a tremendous opportunity for europe to break free from russia. but it increasingly looks like blinking could actually mean a tremendous opportunity for american energy companies. conversely, the e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, admitted this week that europe's prosperity has been largely made possible by cheap russian energy. i'll, a prosperity has been based on cheap and unity come you from russia. on the other hand, we delegated our security today. you wish we have to take

a bigger bar full of our responsibility on ship shooting, security, use us. they scare a lawless security. you china, russia provide the basis of all prosperity disease or will, that is no longer there. is that in this mission that without russian gas, europe's prosperity might be at risk. burrell also criticized the u. s. federal reserve for leading a global policy that's caused interest rates to spike all over the world. everybody has to follow because otherwise their currency will be to value. everybody is running to increase interest rates. this will bring us to a world recession. so again, just as the u. s. had led the charge urging europe to impose quibbling, sanctions that would bear lap act. washington in the financial well to the u. s. leads the blind to the you in the u. k. in say, a recession because they have no other options. the occurrences would collapse, as the landscape becomes increasingly worse and for the europeans,

they're taken to the streets to voice their concerns. that's as the energy bill since the sama have clearly shown what direction this has all been going in. but their political elliots were and paying attention focused on loan, bringing russia to its knees, whatever the cost. and now it seems that brussels can finally see the riding on the wall. europe has sat itself on the distracted political path and the ally that promise to help it along the way is only benefiting from that be okay, reaction from economist and political comment that i can hammer. he says there's an old familiar game at play right now. the us is doing everything to keep europe dependent on them to make the old game that the brits have done before to keep this harmony on the compliment to ruin outside and to ruin from the outside. but if you hear now mr. burrell and mrs. on the line, she was on the table discussing and planning the controlled demolition of the

european, especially the german economy on the double pay with the diverse oligarchy. and now coming along and saying, all we have to wear to change, this is super crappy. he is one of the main courses she went public and said we want the destruction. we want the great reset, we want the green, your view, we don't want fossil fuel and so on and so on. so this is just hippocratic, but i think they now see that this is ending at a catastrophe. and it's just costing that personal c. while the rush to replace russian energy supplies in europe with liquefied natural gas appears to be leaving, developing countries very short of fuel. some traders have even chosen to break contracts in order to cash in on european markets. pakistan has suffered, in particular with its state run energy company failing to secure any supplies in recent tenders of back in the spring,

major suppliers said they were unable to ship a number of scheduled cargoes as contracts. now a similar case to involve the india's largest gas company, gail. it hasn't received its l. n g from a former subsidiary of russia's gas, proven singapore since may. the supply disruption happened after germany took control of the firm in the spring as part of the anti russia sanctions. or the russia allowed shipments to the company for 3 more months. nothing ever made it all the way to india. and bangladesh has also found himself priced right out of the market. it's heavily dependent on imported gas, but just electricity generation. recently, 80 percent of the entire country suffered a total blackout due to a failure in the national power grid wall earlier in the program. my guess was energy expert mohammed to mean he believes countries deprived of a central fuels are now having no choice left. they have to return the dirt here, energy source. i think that the amount of destruction that is big and by right

and alternate look we will are looking for the next will have been bought. another who are thinking of long term a lend. you are now working to some extent and are doing that to under the current situation actually do, do and die. i mean, it is a matter of why. so that's why it is not best of the choice. what are we have to be that, you know, we didn't want to be going to get into that. we know gas emission, but we've got to be in the dark either because you know, right now the problem is in, in stagnant situation. it is not moving well. people are suffering from activity has gone down. so what all of that is not a really good picture. we are, we are suffering so we have no choice right now. truly good to have your company

today. a violence has broken out during protests in the capital of the caribbean island of haiti, with 1000 reports shot dead by police and several more injured. i should warn you, you may find the following footage disturbing. the the protest erupt. it off, the un secretary general responded to a request from the government for a peacekeeping mission to be deployed to the country. demonstrate has went crazy, really demanding the government resigns, claiming it has no legitimacy to offer international intervention. protests supposed began in august over a worsening humanitarian crisis. inflation will roughly 30 percent that ought to be a drastic rise and fall and crime. and most recently,

the issue is fuel shortage is a certain explains the high emotions of the people that the editor of k t, haiti, the birthday kim. i spoke to me earlier outlining why the locals are so hostile to any external players intervening in that country. who has been using united nations as a proxy force since the korean war shortly after the new end was formed. but it really came to full fruition with 2 interventions that the u. s. made into haiti in 1991 in 2004. where with us, assisted by canadian and french troops that went into haiti and then passed it off to the us for 2 reasons. because they like the

look of an international force, but to pakistan is enjoy damian's and other 3rd world people that mostly populate those forces, work for half the cost of a us soldier. so it was also a cost savings for the maintenance of their empire. no legal basis, that's the response from hong kong leda to washington's demand, to act over a russian oligarchy. yard that is more bare, the chinese politician says the territory won't undertake any actions over sanctions that are only imposed unilaterally on calling with already have been criticized for allowing the yacht to docked in the cities waters. washington claims china's helping the business meant to evade its restrictions. hong kong leader who is actually currently under us sanctions himself. so they'll only abide by restrictions imposed by the united nations. well, they all got kona was sanction for his close ties to the russian president meeting

. he is excluded from us financial systems. his assets are frozen while any overseas properties and including yachts, while they can be seized. international and independent, trying to specialist the andrew lung, branded the u. s. policy, as he sees it. as financial bullying, washington has been doing financial fully in all all over the world is imposing sanctions on the countries imposing sanctions on on, on china get actually without. ready live nation, what i'm trying to say. ready the reality remain, hong kong causes financial, international finance, which you are solar, it is embedded and that will empower the state to hurt on the call he wants to. but on the other hand, hong kong course is part of charter school to is a. ready quality, they're all engines, which authorized by the united nations,

that of course, china is population and hands on call has a bind by any sanctions. all right? but if you're not nations, but these are all on sanctions, you will actually impose body united states on. ready russian yachts and is not supported or has not been supported part of the nation. well, we really appreciate you joining us here in a very busy tuesday at our t international. it's always good to have your company. a lot of the stories have been updated as we speak. you can get your updates either via the dot com or check out on these numerous telegrams ah, with .
