ah, semen gates a lot, and we'll put them out that they give us ah, russian president vladimir putin se countries in the post soviet c i s alliance are working on switching to transactions in their own natural currency, to move away from us dollar dominance. in a blow for washington, saudi arabia rejects america's push for opec to delay its oil cuts until after the critical midterm elections next monday. burkina faso is said to announce a new leader made in during protests against french government influence in the western african nation. we hear from those taking to this from van francis, the cause of all our misfortunes, yet because the scenes of destruction are clearly

a signal that people are mad at you with 2 in the afternoon here in moscow this friday, october, the 14th, i'm, you know, leave on this is the global news roundup on our vladimir putin sais, russia and its partner countries and the post salvi at c. i. s alliance are working on switching to international transactions in their own national currencies, freeing themselves from reliance on the u. s. daughter, the russian leader made those comments out a summits in the cause i capital a joint activities on import substitution. strengthening of technological and financial sovereignty had been intensified. in particular, active efforts are being made to make settlements between the countries of the commonwealth in our own national currencies. yeah. and some sudden here all the heads of the commonwealth of independent states, a geo political grouping of former soviet countries,

united by their historic and generally born the turkish liter ridge of tele berto, one. he was also in a cellar and spoke with a lot of food and about the building of a new large scale pipeline. the project in visions, turkey as a primary gas transport hub for both europe. i mentioned earlier, my colleague gracie, she discussed the meeting between those 2 presidents with a host of worlds apart and on the point to cause 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 this 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 and standing

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, then it's up to turkey, essentially, where it goes from there. and could it be the same idea on that russian energy goes to toki, then turkey sells that to europe, and it's still russian energy going to, you know, 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 buy a ukraine. and even before the recent confrontation, you know, time system 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, i think what the russian ones at this point is deliver its energy somewhere and

then leave it up to a turkey or 3rd country to decide if they won 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 is the basis for you repeat prosperity and this is something that europeans no longer supposedly want. turkish example demonstrates that within a couple of years, that could give a country a tremendous benefit. tremendous economic benefits and russian is doing that. not out of the goodness of it's hard. it's also a beneficial deal for, for russia. but you know what it wants. it is to have a levels equal, equal based partnership. the can other big development to tell you about saudi arabia has 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 add stated, it's rejected the american 2 months. the government of the kingdom clarify or is

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 that they asked to delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results. that are clear, it appears the november a mid term elections that are set to take place here in the united states with a new congress will be elected members. the house representative 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. they're all this talk of calling the 70 year relationship between the usa and daddy radian question here. some of what democratic party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing

to play ball with the united states. are going to be some consequences from 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'm have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. i do see it as a deliberately hostile act. and why would we have trips defending a country that, that behave this way towards us? for years, we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has shopped up, journalists has engaged in mass and 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. well, they didn't say continues to supply value ratio 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 of weapons. they want all us troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed and is the no pack bill. this is

a law that would enable people and entities in the united states to buy a law suits and take countries to court for violating and manipulating the oil prices. ready a 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 call the funny season, lots 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 gas prices affect the election. and they wanted the saudis to put off their division 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 freezing

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 isn't revealed on the part of. ready 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. we heard from arvin for a former vice chairman of the u. s. libertarian national committee, he is of the views of the obvious way out of the crisis is to lift sanctions on russian energy export. 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 investment that would lead to this. 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 venezuela, or on,

or anywhere else, that's their natural rates. 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 problem. when you create foreign animosity, it'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 organizations that exist in american politics. so you have the bend contractors and those that other other contractors 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 sanction and all sanctions on oil and everything else allow americans to freely trade with any

individual. with whom they choose. one of the u. s. democratic party's most liberal congress members, alexandria accounts you cortez, commonly known as a o. c. that's been heckled by protesters after she voted to rump ball military aid to ukraine. she was speaking in the bronx or of new york, a gathering of her constituents call. no man, no, that's not the nuclear war, but you voted to send on the walk to the ok. you redo, we voted, you ran as an outside of the, the, in a similar vein. another protest or tuesday o c of becoming the very thing she sought to fight against,

quote. while since february, how casio cortez has been a major advocates on the sanctions against russia. and how supported the billions and us legal aid being sent to key. one of the protesters you heard in the clip mentioned no former democrat, to seek average who left the political party earlier this week. miss gilbert condemned the party as vote on the leeches. cable of war mongers, driven by cowardly walk in this thing. it was dragging the country ever closer beneath the war. you can delve into a long reed analysis of news in the office section. our website r t dot com i made growing concerns over reduced gas supplies in the years following the attacks on the north stream pipeline. germany use most read newspaper bill say's its russia. that's responsible for the people of europe feeling, mitchell, our teeth,

donald quarter has more on that and how divisions continue to emerge within the block. 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, its madrid's choice and moscow was more than willing to fill the demand, no good of mitchells with you. i've already emphasized this numerous times that the nord stream pipelines are not politicized in any way. russia stands ready to enable the flow of gas supplies to europe. the ball is in the use court. 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, the old even compared the situation to the world war 2 battle of stalin. god, how putin 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 stalin grant in the winter of 19421943 is considered by historians to be the turning point of the 2nd world war in favor of the soviet union. because despite high losses, the red army managed to encircle the soldiers of hitler's bear marked at

temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees celsius. tens of 1000 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 was one at the moment. 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 doom once again rears its head for their grandchildren, rushes catching all the blame for then i've now been resolved. isn't it a familiar situation? $942.00. now it's 2020 to 80 years ago there was the battle of gall and grad, and history is repeating itself. we are cold, and it's the russian fault again, hard, but this time we are smarter. he's mine. why go to russia when we can freeze at home? darling god, my gone, your joy, all except the people who died fighting the soviets in world war 2 parish, trying to wage a war of an isolation. 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. they began to stockpile fires for the winter. what does this have to do with russia? constantly tried to blame their own mistakes and 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 stalingrad comparison is who was on the winning side. last time we heard from gilbert, doug, true, an independent political analyst based in brussels. he believes europe has been left on the losing side of an economic power play, orchestrated by the u. s. which media outlets are trying to rationalize, build as an example of this type of full time propaganda. which bears no resemblance to journalism. the russians not trying to freeze out your europe is using it so i don't see the public as being very engaging as best of course away from the present. they are very concerned, not appraising. 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 recipients have been cowed into submission. they know full well that their defense capabilities against a suit against a major global power like russia are nil. without the united states depressants, united states has used a leverage that know 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. ah ukrainian troops of continued shelling, rushes, western belgrade region, just this hour. we have received reports of 7 explosions in the skies above belgrade. as a russian or defense system does appear to be working in the city,

the ukrainian attacks have been ongoing for several days. local authority, se kim's forces targeted a munitions in the border region on friday morning after intense artillery attacks the previous day, left part of a ton and flames. thank you. yeah, the wordly for attacks we know about in the area in less than 24 hours. a high rise apartment building in the center of the regional capital was also hit in a rocket attack by key areas forces a lot of damage there, including the residents cars. the economic war 1st school in paris funded by a former french intelligence officer, has posed the question, who is the real enemy from the institute argues that the u. s. a traditional ally of the european nation has a quote war machine that persistently undermines french national interests, years,

paris space to r, to contribute original marston with her to are the u. s. and its allies enemies of france and u. 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 you, why green economy that ultimately harmed the french nuclear power industry. and its energy independence. just have a look at this video. ah, with out, ah, ah,

ah, ah. 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 released 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 dave else can say, as on us tonight, which is the partly state owned entity,

the exports, french knowledge and technical training world wide mainly to buyers french weapons . so the school founded in 1997 in the wake of a particularly shocking episode of the economic spine for ca, officers were expelled from france in early 995. 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 evolve in that context. before the cia spine case. the french had this image of enemy spies being russian caricature is out of old war films. basically, after the incident,

they realized that just as likely to be the tall, attractive, outgoing shandey, american women in the country under they tank or business cover, which is exactly what the case was with this botched ca up and the erosion of french industry since. well, it's just continued and worse and even with the complicity of french officials, despite them for well knowing better, which this video clearly points out. ah ok to another ra headlined story. today, the west african nation of bertino faso is set to announce a new interim president. in the coming days, the states national assembly kicked off this friday, coming after the country recently enjoyed its 2nd military crew of the year. the army seized power in the country. 2 weeks ago. demonstrators rallied in the streets in support of marching with banners and flags including russian. i'm chinese ones, they are demanding. that's what to do. go cut its traditional ties with former colonial rule or from protesters say the previous head of states had engaged in

secret pacts with horace braves. residents attacks, the french embassy flushing windows starting fires around. the diplomatic comes just to show you this as well. the french institute, one of the main cultural centers in the country, was set ablaze. protesters vandalized, the buildings library, and other common areas institute workers condemned to destruction, but protestors defended their rule in the violence. but you get for me. 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. because we do not know what france is doing here in burkina. if you're in a country and nobody knows your role, the better you leave them. 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 media center, one of the main library of what i do, the last sample of it called voice and 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 this laboratory last october. so people went out and everything because that might be situation month, but phrase pro my so and the war and for 11 years now things i know chasing menu authorities of looking up. i saw captain tower, you 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 one 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 was going to be the size of a government. the size of a parliament was a low. what got to just follow related seem europe would rather blame others for its fail policies in africa rather than accept its own flaws. that opinion was expressed in a recent article by an associate fellow at a kenyan based thing. who sees the continent has never benefited from its relations with western powers. we spoke to the author mccarty at mooney. the directions between the west's and africa generally have been destructive. it has been pardoned, mission ship, where the west dictates and forces african peoples and countries to do things

according to the interests of the west. some this tend toward the understandable good. we are out there looking after the all new to us and we are, you will need was a nazi one who must have africa interest. the challenge is many for the african said to mac effort 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 new move soothing some lakes. when they did it, we saw the destroy libya completely. some of the challenges are raising in europe can be connected to the atrocities louis, commuting africa, and impression was created. that's europe was heaven on

earth. 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 find the deeds closed. and literally you have this migration, chris's, europe. and you have the rise of these so called populace national with working power gradually by insisting they don't want to see my grants, many black people. it's always ready to blue mothers, but taking responsibility to know. louis does not do that to get a good at inflicting pain on us. but when you choose us, once you know what's happening in the french excuses will not be in, ah, the american government is mired and corruption,

and it has to be rooted. that's the call from the u. s. senator, who wants republicans to take a stand against officials unjustly enriching themselves. he says that includes prohibiting legislators from trading stocks. let's turn to dia j. let's turn to the f b i. well, let's have a top to bottom review of what's going on at these increasingly corrupt agencies. it is time to give this government back to the american people. republicans need to get serious about routing out this corruption. it has got to be priority number one by the way, congress can start with itself. you want to talk about not doing self dealing, how congress passed an actual stock trading ban of a demand for a bomb has gain momentum after a wall street journal investigation reveal thousands of american politicians have traded stalks may be still are affected by decisions that their agencies have made pentagon officials were reported to have own shares and aerospace and defense

companies. some even held stock in chinese companies that washington was considering like this thing. a hi speaker. nancy pelosi has been plagued by allegations that her husband trade shares on insider information. now the former president, donald trump said pelosi has been delaying measures that could prevent that at miss pelosi herself, denies the claim saying america's quote, a free market economy we heard from geo, political and markets as tom longo say is the current us leadership is becoming increasingly pressurized, we're beginning to realize just how deep the corruption is and there's no way of really holding it back through media, white washing of the situation. i find it fascinating that, you know, we're dealing with a president, for example, that was offering our quid pro quo to the saudis, in order to election air about,

you know, holding back the oil price production price, rough road pack, in order to win election like now nobody is really surprised about that because it's just part for the course. we're also condition now that they are, they're just corrupt, but that's not the right answer. that's not the right response. the right response is that this is blatantly illegal is wrong and we should demand better. the reality is in many ways the way i see this is that the, the us government is under siege as credibility level for years. now, the word don bus has been synonymous with conflict and division, but behind the barricades there's a literary history with deep rates on today, especially people are using the arts as a way for their stories to be told. stay with us for a short documentary poets on the front line. oh.
