ah, mm ah, russian president vladimir putin say's countries in the post. soviet c s. alliance are working on switching to transactions in their own national currencies and move away from us dollar dominant auto and in the program. today on dana blow for washington, saudi arabia rejects america's post for opec plus to delay it's oil. i put cuts until after the critical midterm elections. next, know burkina faso is set to announce a new leader made and during protest against french government influence in the western african nation. we hear from those taking to the street with frances,

the cause of all our misfortunes, the m, the economy, the scenes of destruction are clearly a signal that people are mad at you with from moscow to the world. this is our take, great to help your company today. my name's unit o'neill, to our top story. vladimir putin say's russia and its partner countries and the post selby at c. i. s alliance are working on switching to international transactions in their own national currencies, freeing themselves from alliance on the u. s. dollar. now, the russian leader made those comments, are the summits in the cause. i capital a joint activities on import substitution, strengthening of technological and financial sovereignty have been intensified. in particular, active efforts are being made to make settlements between the countries of the commonwealth in our own national currencies. yet some footage here,

all the leaders of the commonwealth of independent states, a geopolitical grouping of former soviet countries, united by their historic and generally warm ties. the turkish liter registered tie, a bird one who was also in stella and spoke with beloved. we're both the building of a new gas pipeline. the project envisions turkey as a primary gas transport hub for both europe and asia. earlier my colleague brace to shade, discuss the meeting between those 2 presidents, the host of worlds, the part here in our tea, atala, boy. turkey responded positively to this proposal and the teams from both sides are looking very deliberately and very urgent feel. just something like this. now we haven't heard any confirmation from the turkish side yet. apart from saying that, you know, we present on received these offer with big interest. but i think this is something that would flatter turkey

a great deal because it offers it then opportunity to raise, extending internationally and economically. and this is something that president or the one has been after for many, many years. it would be russian energy going to turkey, and it's up to turkey, essentially where it goes from there. and could it be the same idea or on that russian energy goes to toki, then turkey sells that to europe. and it's still russian energy going to you. this is exactly what the russian proposes. and i think it's, i cannot say that is a risk free proposition because as you know, before russia was selling gas, you're buying ukraine. and even before the recent confrontation, you know, sam, 60 years ago, there were constant delegations of russia using its allergy as, as a weapon. and selling your energy is through an intermediary comes with it with certain risks. but apparently, the turkish russian relationship are good enough for put into trust or the on the now from that, and i think what the russian ones at this point is deliver its energy somewhere and

then leave it up to turkey or, or 30 countries to decide if they one that russian affordable russian gas provides very important basis for many countries. it's used to provide very important foundation for european economy. i mean, it's the basis for you repeat prosperity, and this is something that you're no longer supposedly. one turkish example demonstrates that within a couple of years, that could give a country tremendous benefits, tremendous economic benefits and russian doing that, not out of the goodness of a heart. it's also a beneficial bill for, for russia. but you know what it wants it is to have a levels it will equal based partnership. just an update on the story we've been following for some days now with ukranian troops shelling rushes belgrade region for several consecutive days. the prosecutors have been compiling

reports on the casualties key forces, sheldon, munitions, death in the border region of friday morning and the day before intense artillery attacks left part of a time here in flames. thank you. there were at least for tax in the area in less than a day. a high rise apartment building in the center of the regional capital was also hitting a rocket attack by cubes forces. several vehicles were damaged to the right. let's move on to another of a headline stories. now i want to tell you, but this saudi arabia said washington is trying to pressure opec into postponing it's planned oil production cut until after the u. s. mid term elections next month . but re on states. it's rejected the american demand, the government of the kingdom clarify, through its continuous consultation with the u. s. administration. that all

economic analyses indicate that postponing the opec plus decision for a month, according to what has been suggested would have had negative economic consequences . this is a pretty big revelation. they're letting a pretty big cat out of the bag that it seems that the priority of us leaders, when it came to asking opec to move ahead with their decisions. and they asked to delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results. that a clear it appears the november 8 mid term elections that are set to take place here in the united states and with a new congress will be elected members. the house of representatives, numbers the u. s. senate will be elected or reelected. i at that seems to be what the issue was. now, the democrats are furious with saudi arabia. there's that all this talk of calling the 70 year relationship between the usa in saudi arabia and question here. some of what democratic party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing to play ball with the united states. there's gonna be some consequences for what they've

done with russia suspend all arm sales. is that something you'd consider? i'm not going to get into what i'd consider what i have in mind, but there will be the will be consequences. i do see it as a deliberately hostile actin and what, why would we have troops defending a country that, that behaves the sway towards us for years. we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has seconds shopped up journalists, it has engaged in massive political repression. for one reason, we wanted to know that when the chips were down, when there was a global crisis, that the saudis would choose us instead of russia, when they didn't, usa continues to supply saudi arabia with weapons. there's the ongoing war in yemen . and there's some democrats that now feel like they want to, they want to cut off the supply weapons. they want all us troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed. and here's the no pack deal. this is a law that would enable people and entities in the united states to file lawsuits

and take countries to court for violating and manipulating the oil. right. the negative effect in the united states is quite dramatic. now the saudi foreign minister expect this will all blow over after the big elections are over. unfortunately, when you're in the election season with some people called the funny season, a lot of things are said and lots of things are done that may be, may not make sense at another period of time. and i hope that this is what we're dealing with here. it appears that the democratic party leadership was concerned about how the gas prices may affect the election. and they wanted the saudis to put off their decision to cut oil production until after the elections because of how it would affect the gas prices. they don't seem to be concerned about the fact that americans are paying $3.00 to $6.00 per gallon of gas that families are being squeezed. they're not concerned about european allies of the united states breathing in the winter. they're concerned that all of these economic consequences

that they could affect the election result. they could change how people go ahead, devote a real amount as soon as it is revealed on the part of us leaders. they essentially wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them. and make decisions that would have political benefit for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on november 8th. among the reaction we got to this story was from arvin for a former vice chairman of the u. s. libertarian national committee. he sees the obvious way out of the crisis is to lift sanctions on russian energy exports. they're trying to adjust oil prices basically around an election rather than doing either the short term or long term doing the long term changes or investments that would lead to the. i mean, here's the simple example. the obvious solution to our oil shortage is to get rid of all thanks and that stop american businesses and individuals from importing oil . whether an american company wants to buy oil from russia or. busy venezuela or on or anywhere else,

that's their natural race. the government should not determine where somebody can buy oil from. so rather than doing the thing that's right, an ethical and make sense. they're trying, again to use shady backroom dealing as their one solution to all problems when you create foreign animosity. that's only going to benefit the people who benefit from conflict at the people who benefit from war. unfortunately, united states that is the entire military industrial complex, which is the single most influential and sadly, the most toxic organization that existing in american politics. so you have defend contractors and those that other other contractor that benefit from war. they are, of course, happy to see as much conflict as possible. the problem that everyone else in america benefits from peace. and so the correct solution is the end, the sanction and all sanctions on oil and everything else. allow americans to freely trade with any individual. with whom they choose amid growing

concerned over reduced gas supplies in the u following the attacks on the nord stream pipeline, germany's most read newspaper build phase. it's russian. that's responsible for the people of europe feeling. mitchell ortiz, donald quarter, has more in depth on how divisions continue to emerge within the blog. these days, the european union seems determined to dump anything and everything russian, especially gas, and yet, spain. as a rare exception, increasing russian gas imports by over 150 per cent in just one year. after all, it's madrid's choice and moscow was more than willing to fill the demand. look at us rituals with you. and i've already emphasized this numerous times that the north stream pipelines are not politicized in any way. you've been russia spans ready to enable the flow of gas supplies to europe. the ball is in the use court than if they want gas. let them just opened the taps rushes even offered to pump gas through the nord stream to channel that still functioning after last month's pipeline explosions. berlin however,

has rejected that offer and german gas prices continue their upward climb. at the same time, it looks like the german media outlet build is more concerned with how ukrainians are going to fair during the winter. it's accusing putin of trying to freeze them all to death, pointing to recent russian missile strikes that severely damaged. ukraine's electrical grid build even compared the situation to the world war, 2 battle of stalin. god, how prudent wants to freeze ukraine. since monday, putin has attacked power plants all over ukraine, causing power outages, as temperatures and keep in other places dropped down to 3 degrees celsius at night . experts are certain with the attacks on civilians couldn't wants to freeze the war before winter. what we see is the strategy to achieve a russian dictated peace and to avoid another winter war. east european researcher, andreas someone told billed this is how stalingrad became a death trap. the battle for the industrial centre of stalingrad in the winter of

1940 to 1943 is considered by historians to be the turning point of the 2nd world war in favor of the soviet union. because despite high last is the red army managed to encircle the soldiers of hitler's bear marked at temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees celsius. tens of thousands soldiers either froze or starve to death. probably not the best decision to indirectly compare your allies to the nazis, especially when many of them actually are. and they're trying to keep that on the down low for p r sake. but to build credit, russia says it's indeed fighting neo nazis as it fought their predecessors back in the 2nd world war. and like back then the question of how winter will play out is more than relevant the head of gas problems already warned against playing with fire here. or in this case, playing with the cold. if you remember, there is a much more serious part of the question referring to the passage of the heart of winter. but the passage of the winter peak, you know, the overall winter might be relatively warm one week or even 5 days can be

abnormally cold. and you know, even in this short period of time, god forbid you can freeze entire cities and tire lands. true around 80 years ago, many europeans froze to death, installing god, and as the threat of a frosty do, once again rears its head for their grandchildren, rushes catching all the blame for them. and now something was all, isn't it a familiar situation? $942.00. now it's 2022. 80 years ago there was the battle of colon grad and history is repeating itself. we are cold, and it's the russians fault again. hard, but this time we are smarter. he's my why go to russia when we can freeze at home, darling god, my god, y'all so all of clear except that people who died fighting the soviets in world war 2, paris, trying to wage a war of annihilation. as for the current crisis, moscow says it's ready to supply europe with the gas it needs to heat its homes. and yet the offer is rejected. hard to imagine how russia is at fault in either

situation. so there was a population in europe lives as it was in the middle ages, had begun to stockpile fire for the winter. what does this have to do with russia? constantly tried to blame their own mistakes on someone else, in this case, russia. and i want to emphasize that this is their own fault, which is perhaps the main thing we should remember though, when considering build stalling, broad comparison is who was on the winning side. last time, gilbert duct ro, an independent political, is based in brussels, joined us on the program earlier, he believes europe has been left on the losing side of an economic power play, orchestrated by the u. s. which the build article is trying to rationalize bills as an example of this type of full time propaganda, which bears no resemblance to journalism. the russians are not trying to freeze out your europe is freezing. and so i don't see the public as being very engaged

unless of course the blame for the present. they are very concerned not to freeze and they're very concerned about the cost. assuming that there will be full supply and gas heating and like tricity this winter, the prices are exorbitant. europe is a big time loser and everything is going on. the fans have been cowed into submission. they know full well that their defense capabilities against 2, against a major global power like russia are nil. without the united states depressed, united states has used leverage that knowledge, that awareness of european weakness and inability in the face of the rather frightening complex going on on the eastern border of europe to its benefit to its advantage. the west african nation of

burkina faso is set to announce a new interim president in the coming days. the states national assembly kicked off this friday coming after the free, recently enjoyed its 2nd military coups of the year. and military were through seized power in the country 2 weeks ago and demonstrated rallied in the streets in support marching with foreigners and flights, including russian and chinese, was demanding that the country cut its traditional ties with former colonial ruler france protest, her se the previous head of state held engaged in secret packs with paris. i raged, residents attacked the french embassy, rushing windows, setting fires around the diplomatic company by the french institute. one of the main cultural centers in the country was set ablaze. protesters, bundle lies the buildings library, and other common areas institute workers condemned to destruction, but protestors defended their rule in the violence. when you get home,

when you are losing soldiers every day and civilians have to leave their villages, i think it's normal that some day people express their disappointment and anger. the scenes of destruction are clearly a signal that people are mad at you, because we do not know what frances doing here in burkina. if you're in a country and nobody knows your role better, you leave. of course, francis the cause of our misfortunes. frances, responsible for all these crazy things in africa. we are here to fight until our last breath, the 1000000 center, one of the main library of what i do, the last sample of the co voice in between paris and what got to go 62 years back was decided to create the international festival of movies of what it was here in the laboratory last october. first people went out and everything because that my situation month, but trade pro my so and the war and for 11 years now things are not changing. many

authorities of looking up i saw captain tower, brought him, decided not to close the corp. we've only one country. they're going to work with anyone who can help including washer turkish and frank. but people might want to go fast and the want cup to tell it to go fast as he can to move forward. and with this war, as he is busy now, to set up institutional organization, have people involved with this national foundation starting this friday. this felicia will decide who going to be the next president. it will decide also what going to be the duration of the parliament. what going to be the size of a government, the size of a parliament with a low? what get to the situation in burkina faso, one that will be closely following the weekend approaches. now, europe would rather blame others for its fail policies in africa rather than accept

its own flaws. now the opinion was expressed in a recent article by an associate fellow at a canyon bass. thinktank who sees the continent, has never come out on top in its relations with western powers. we spoke to the author mccarty and mooney. the directions between the west's and africa generally. how be destructive. it has been pollard, alicia's ship, where the west dictates and forces african peoples and countries to do things. according to the interests of the west, some extent toward the understandable could be out there looking up to the own interests. and the early on it was a nazi one who must have africa interest the challenges memory for the african said to make efforts to ensure that that relationship is mutually beneficial. at present, it is not the responsibility to protect is essentially

a weapon of the be power to do of the west to invade little countries in the name of soothing some lakes. when they did it, we saw the destroy libya glitter. some of the challenges are raising in europe can be connected to the atrocities. the west commutes in africa and impression was created. that's europe was heaven enough. as a result, you have all these people who have been told and convinced that they know so they need to go to heaven and heaven is europe. so when they go to heaven, the flame, the deeds closed. and leslie, you have this migration chris is europe. and you have the raise of these so called populace national miss working power gradually by insisting that all

want to see my guns, meaning black people. it's always ready to blue mothers. but taking responsibility to know, louis does not do that. it's very good at inflicting pain on us. but when you tease, asked quincy know what's happening, then the phrase excuses will not be in. ah, okay, an interesting view to share with you, not the economic warfare. school in paris, funded by a former french intelligence officer, has posed the question, who is the real enemy of france? the institutes argues or puts forward that the u. s. a traditional ally of the european nation has a quote war machine. the persistent, the undermines french national interest years, paris based r t contributor rachel marston, a 30 are the u. s. and its allies enemies of france. a new video released by the

french school of economic warfare to promote its annual research publication related to what it calls, quote the shadow wars that endanger our economy. strongly suggest scott's the case . it places frances rivalry with washington right alongside those with china and russia, which no doubt comes as a shock to a lot of westerners. it didn't spare germany either evoking berlin's push for an u. y green economy that ultimately harmed the french nuclear power industry. and its energy independence just have a look at this video ah, with

. ready so you see there a reminder that when the us formed a new coalition with australia and the u. k. last year, the always dropped to the estimated $66000000000.00 deal for france to build its new summaries. we also see in the video a reference to the sale of frances nuclear know how to the americans when general electric bought. awesome. which is a major case study at this school that release this video in this book. so what is the school exactly? oh, it's a private post graduate school in paris founded by the former head of the french army intelligence training center and the head of competitive intelligence. for default school say as on astronaut, which is the partly state owned entity that exports, french knowledge and technical training world. wide mainly to buyers french weapons . so the schools found in 1997 in the wake of

a particularly shocking episode of cia economic spine. for c i, a officers were expelled from france in early 1995 after being caught specifically spying on french industry. in a botched operation, forcing the agency to suspend all of its operations across the country. remember that france at the time had been doing a lot of really innovative stuff when it became clear to the french that president bill clinton at the time had made economic espionage a priority for the cia. the french government realized that there was a need for them to do pretty much the same kind of thing. and this school evolves in that context. before the cia spike case, the french had this image of any spies being russian caricatures out of old war films. basically, after the incident, they realised this just as likely to be the tall, attractive, outgoing shandey, american women in the country under the tank or business cover, which is exactly what the case was with this botched cia op and the erosion of

french industries since, well, it's just continued and worse and even with the complicity of french officials, despite them full well knowing better, which this video clearly points out those russia continues to cooperate with partners in the world stage from asia to the americas. won't some prefer to ignore that? those are the words of foreign ministry spokesman re as a hot of a who denies ukrainian president zalinski recent statement that quote, new normal leader would want to work with moscow that she would you most thoughtless as of today, they have a status of an isolated country a country that no normal civilized leader wants to communicate with what this is, walk me announced mortgage means he doesn't think on the body outside of nature. his normal polanski, the whole world means to west. there is no one else. he doesn't even notice how the subconscious feeling of superiority over those different from white people shows up

in his comatose interviewees. meanwhile, ukraine's foreign minister has spoken to by some african nations holding a strong pro russian or even neutral spence on the conflict. he made a series of comments to russian prankster is after his trip to the continent aimed up persuading nations there to turn against moscow, editor of the south africa base behind the news sites. german language sees many african support russia despite the ukrainian normative the civilized countries, according to your view of ways tending the countries that the countries that giving him money that are giving him basically he's doing what the, what that means to me doing of polluting the mind of the ordinary cities in the world to believe that it's a big country. meanwhile, in africa with russia,

because we understand what is happening in engagement with africa. russia in gauge meant with a south american countries, russia, it's in a full stream with the groceries into the middle eastern countries. so it's not correct what you see. it's entirely not quite a, it's just him trying to push the propaganda to say, everyone must have a good structure. it's not entirely quote it some peculiar comments. meanwhile, from the e used topped at diplomat usa, but rel, in calling for more engagement with the rest of the world, also described the need to protect what he called the e u garden. from those quotes in the jungle, he was sharing his counter thoughts. are they talking belgium, to future european diplomats? youtube is a garden. we had to build a garden avenue. she works is the best combination of, of political freedom,

economic prosperity and social cohesion. that the human kind has been able to build this 3 things together. the rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the garden us should. they gave it when the typical air where sydney roby and marie system occupied me see because it's a quiet place. ready is to say that your role is a garden, that is so beautiful and the rest of the world is a jolly should be returning to learning it by cato. minimize the very and the stability that they want to to see in the world is his vision was a particularly directed. it was yeah. because that is the only in, in,

in more it together. china that can really destabilize the piece and stability or bad god in that they say they'll create a one of the things that really throw in a lot of or has enough rico of the fact that we are referred to as the john and predominantly, we know that the, you, you, nation responsive will for this jungle that they're thinking about because they make sure that our people are under the low flavor, long time and, and due to western, dependent on them for a lot of things that i have a 2nd and they come in milk honors or every day in the rivers in donald at b. c. and the great garden that is the call in europe in the colonial copy. does that day about texas to the end of this bulletin at half past 1 that's friday afternoon. all sorts of content though to get stuck into.
