11:00 am
a professional lithium to what you put up a list of all. but with a with the fact that i'm here today with a delegation to review our cooperation to see how we can take it forward to create a long term sustainable basis. i think she is most of all russia and india focused on energy stability as well as a multi poet approach to global security of moscow. india is foreign minister. he told the americans take to the polls for crucial mid term election for the country . the economic crisis, the main son for many or course, like say the ruling democrats saw more worried about dishing out the big bucks to ukraine of washington. i'm the you accusing each other of profiteering
11:01 am
from the global energy crisis. we investigate how us protectionism is alienating, is going to make the allies in europe and asia with variable. welcome to you. it's 7 pm here in moscow, and this is alta international with the latest world news update. good, happy with. now india is foreign minister, has called for close the cooperation with russia and what he calls a stressful situation on energy markets of correspondence, donald corso, with other ministers, media conference in moscow. what do you see as the intent of the west, specifically the united states in pressuring india for these relations? what stance will india take in the future towards russia as a result of this pressure? the fact that i'm here today with a delegation to review cooperation,
11:02 am
to see how we can take it forward to korea, to long term sustainable bases. i think shays, most of all, i think you can see the obvious in christian commitment i would have in keeping that relationship strong. and she said, that clip we just saw was the indian foreign minister's response to a question that i was lucky enough to ask at the press conference that came after his meeting with russian foreign minister, sir gay, laugh rav. i wanted to know what india was planning to do in the face of increasing the western pressure for its friendly relations with russia. and if new delhi would, i join in on the western calls for a price cap on russian oil exports. but based on the indian foreign minister's response, it looks like india is not really buying into that. he reiterated that russia and india have long, had very close relations and that new delhi relies on moscow to provide the indian people with affordable energy. as regards the, you know, the or the coil supply issue going on. that is, that is
11:03 am
a hub and festival that is a stress on the energy markets. it is odd fundamental obligation to ensure that the indian consumer has the best possible access on the most advantageous terms to international market, an inductor aspect of quite honestly, we have seen that a d. indian rashad relationship has worked to advantage. now we also heard from the russian foreign minister, circ a laugh, rob, who said that the talks were very successful. he said that he talked a bit about plans on the russian side to provide india with clean atomic energy, as well as plans to increase the trade volume between the 2 countries in the future . let's take a listen. we put, we have welcome to the positive dynamics of our bilateral trade. by september, the turnover had increased more than 130 percent. the provision of a new site for the construction of a russian designed nuclear power plant will allow india to provide clean,
11:04 am
unsafe energy in the future. we discussed in detail the state of the prospects for military technical cooperation, including the joint production of modern types of weapons. so it looks like what foreign minister circ, a live, rob, set about these talks about them being successful was correct. and the decades long friendly relations that russia and india have enjoyed will continue to persevere. despite the fact that around the world, there's quite a tense geopolitical landscape right now. as the midterm elections in the united states gets on the way, biden's public approval rating, plummets to a new historic loan of according to a poll conducted on their eve. i think to democratic concerns that they will lose and dorothy in congress will be election could say around a 3rd of us, congressional senators voted out on the lower parliamentary chamber, the house of representatives, all 435 seats on the ballad. new governance for 36 states will always be chosen on
11:05 am
tuesday, as one is new secretaries of state who are responsible for further elections. major domestic issues such as abortion, access, and gun, and vote who writes on very much in focus on many us media have been echoing biden's claims that us democracy is risk prompting phase. the republicans could take control of congress and drawing parallel with a possible red wave of us citizens that seem not to share such concerns when all what motivates their vote is most american say, domestic problems, all the top concern in the election, baffle always drives everything. i think that that is probably the factor that most directly influences people's day to day lives. so definitely a prominent decision in voting. i think the economy is an issue, but i think abortion is a huge issue, especially in this city. i think the economy is definitely a big issue right now. i think a lot of people will be motivated, motivated by it,
11:06 am
but i don't think the economy is like the biggest issue that's happening in our society right now. well, one you could take a look at the condition of everything, the jobs, the unemployment, people are struggling. i can't even get so security and the benefits that they offered me when i was paying taxes. i don't get. so there are hundreds of thousands of people that are really crushed under false economy. according to ethan, polls that 79 percent of americans say that voting decisions will be driven by economic issues. naming domestic problems is the biggest concern. however, the white house on democrats, when congress thing to have different priorities as they've hines about the $400000000.00 in a to ukraine, on top of billions, already sent crane ukraine. ukraine. united states will never, never, never recognize russia's claims on ukraine. we demonstrated the united states commitment to the government and to the people of ukraine. club, ha,
11:07 am
crana in washington, and it's all ukraine, ukraine, ukraine, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. and it's not just costing time. it's also costing money over $18000000000.00 already spent. no surprise that with washington's big names all focused overseas, many americans are feeling left behind. it seems ukraine 1st america last, according to the latest polls, at least when it comes to the issues that americans are concerned about. ukraine is nowhere near the top of the list. america's working families are getting crushed by inflation. the high gas prices are squeezing them dry, the cost of living keeps going up and up. mortgages are also rising. but yet the government of the united states continues writing checks to kia with prices, surgeon and american. struggling to keep up. the federal reserve takes a bold step to chain what seems like relentless inflation and raises interest rates
11:08 am
by 3 quarters of a percentage point. it's biggest hike in nearly 3 decades. food prices, up, 13 percent rent up more than 6 percent. if you're in the market for a car, new or used, you're paying more about 9 percent more than this time. last year. we've never seen drastic actions like this under janet yelling. we never saw this on november, nancy, or even alan greens, when you actually go back to the early 19 eighties under paul volcker. and i think this says a lot about not just how high inflation is, but how stubborn raytheon and other military contractors are making a killing. but the american people are suffering. is anyone now shocked that the public is fuming? is argued by money to ukraine. i have every way to disrespect you because you're the 1000 equation with 80000000 grey dan, i'm sorry, bill, in my mistake that you are a fraud. now, some would say that heckling public officials is certainly not the way out. but what exactly does one do when the president himself seems to be somewhat out of
11:09 am
touch with reality? not concerned about with i'm concerned about with when the people you elected are focused on a country overseas, while things in your community, just keep getting worse and worse. you might think that it's time to be a little bit less polite. maybe it's time for some unconventional politics. the polls are now swinging to the right, regardless of any shouting at town halls. my republicans aren't exactly peace does either. and no one's expecting that if they come into office, they'll pull a complete 180 and reverse u. s. foreign policy in europe, ukraine in particular, but unlike their rivals, they seem to have at least picked up on the widespread public opposition to prolonging a foreign war at the expense of the american people. nation building didn't work out too well in iraq and afghanistan. i don't think we should be doing it in ukraine. so targeted military assistance. one thing i favorite that, but yeah,
11:10 am
this kind of nation building where it's less about our national security. it's more about nation building, i think is a problem in the ukraine and everywhere. right. now, our country for our borders had a control human traffic. now we have inflation, gas prices out of control. i mean that for 3. now, such words from republicans have sent the democrats into a tizzy. joe biden is now talking about nuclear arm again and saying he's not interested in any talk of the escalation or negotiation. biden is declaring roughly half the electorate to be here, redeemable right wing extremists, and he's also taken actions to cause an energy crisis. that is certainly not unrelated to u. s. foreign policy. now it's little wonder that even for some long time democrats, this is all gotten to be a little bit much. now i believe in a government that's of the people by the people and for the people. unfortunately, today's democratic party does not. instead it stands for
11:11 am
a government that is of by and for the powerful elite. now in the mid term elections, americans don't vote for a president. they vote for representatives in the house and the senate. but these mid term elections are turning into a referendum on one man, a man who is not on the ballot, but does live in the white house. so while biting goes on with his democracy is at stake mantra, it looks like a lot of americans are just not thrilled with his performance. and they may be recalling a few things that his predecessors sad about america 1st. caleb martin, r t new york. hearing a recent publicity to bite him was heckled and off. if washington is ready to negotiate with russia and help and the ukraine conflict, the us president, rush off the questions and see people demanding answers. were schools it out of the media event? because and i hope. 7 you don't
11:12 am
want the jury political analyst on talk show host the most book. say that if democrats end up losing the elections, i can only blame themselves on the white house for pushing the wrong agenda. i think that i think the republicans have a darn good chance of gaining control of both chambers that the house and the senate. i think it means that joe biden, the lame duck and you know, it's their own wall. it's hid, don't fall. first of all, their agenda has been horrific. they keep talking, they keep denying that people are suffering, they keep pulling it, and they've been doing that right along. joe biden has been doing that right. a lot
11:13 am
. joe biden stood in pennsylvania the other day at a senate rally for the democratic candidate and said, no more drilling of oil. no more, really? no more, no more racking. now that's, that's the death wish doesn't always say the right thing in the white house always has to walk it back. so while people are worried about inflation, cost of living in crime, the democrats have been talking about abortion. and joining up this big issue, we have to save democracy because of the republicans when it's the end of democracy . and barack obama was involved in that too. that's terrific kind of campaigning. and the american public's not buying that breaks group of nations is attracting new members that are jerry africa. the largest natural gas exporter has become the latest country to apply to join the blog. gerry and foreign ministry has spelled the paper work forward spirit, which has already been well received by bricks, members of russia and china. the block has recently gone it increasing interest
11:14 am
with turkey, egypt and saudi arabia also saying they would like to join. or let's discuss this with me. he's a professor at algiers university. now many thanks for joining us on the program. it's nice to see what impacts could be presence of algeria, which is africa, the biggest natural gas exposure to have on the breaks block? well, i think for sure there will be, in other words, you are finished the what because of the position are in the, in africa as what are in the world besides that, as you just mentioned, that we have so many important show as well. so if you were to study from shelby to more than 2000000, you have a few slides here, almost 616. so have 4 investments. and that's more than that
11:15 am
because of the historical report. i should be read the site that i come in the days of the defendant's data for the for we expect the load and the more that's i want to hit the ball and there is a said we want to have to get out of this. and i want you to be to be under what or do want to have the 3rd voice. the 3rd voice, is there a way and there is, this is the one that is looking for what to yeah. after would be the 2nd arab country to apply to join the block off the iran. why has briggs become so attractive to arab nations? do you think? because of the am dependent on the point of view and the sympathy of russia. so the south africa of china in there because there and then
11:16 am
from there were the companies for the yearly and did they give you a buyer to get the blogs that the, the form of the market for long as you said 111 word and in other words, or do you want to have another choice? another option i'm to show you russia off of clothes that have been a more and dependent upon the what the more balance of done the what we have seen for the last 50 years or so. and was not sure the fires will have to be part of little what do you think the potentially expansion of breaks to bring to some of the world's emerging markets? i think for sure, as you mentioned in representation, here is one of the biggest reviews of gus in africa and the more of them that as
11:17 am
a mission that we have. we have also shown into that means you're going to be and used to be in, in the economy to show me to meet your child. and that's what we want. what can be more, because as you may, as you may know, are you keep in the moment i'm that of all we have the 6 years in the world that you get from us before that's we aspire to play a role within the brakes. and the brakes and such is the julian girl that i'm getting for is the 7, not you for more background in the machine that was a 3rd or 4th. we have that is the position of shot. and so so. busy to some extent, they want to have a say in the word office,
11:18 am
i don't the only 17, something usaid by experience. and how do you think the us and its allies would, might respond to algeria bit as well as further potential bits by countries like saudi arabia, traditional ally of the us and took care? of course, for example. i think the junior does not care about what the all the think they have always get their own a get. but then when it comes to their different to their i'm and i hear you. i have always been different than what they're from european union from us to be more clear. we have all of the, the guy on the account, we are here and there are stuff you come the beginning of the saturday. so we say we, we, we will not see whether or not because we don't not instead of hurting let's make it. this is gideon for him. over and under. do you think that we don't
11:19 am
care about what the other side is all about this? if you do not, you don't like to know our a 404040. if you say that on our, our on not, not in front of and that is because you need for something. and so some different done. many thanks. speaking to us today, we've been speaking to professor lady that called me from algiers university. thank you. well, this was her now. so our top story here, india foreign minister, has called for closer cooperation with russia, admit what he calls a stressful situation on energy. mark is we can discuss this further with come most about now. india is ex foreign secretary and full bass the to russia. many thanks for joining us on the program this evening. i'm sorry i missed this about. what's your assessment of the talks mostly will sort of prospects are we seeing for the partnership between russia and india in this multi polar emerging mosey part of the
11:20 am
world? i think this meeting that our foreign minister had in moscow sends out a very strong message because the west is sanctioning russia. they want india a both military and economic and also the unhappy that we are buying the oil. so the fact that we're having this i r u c meeting and is focused on increasing all trade and also expand our economic interaction in various ways. look for trading in our national guard and she's and some other items that have been discussed on the agenda. sends a very clear message that we have independent dies with which are not going to be governed by water, the west or does it leave you follow what is the
11:21 am
national interest? and as i said, the importance of this is that this is happening despite all the pressures that have been put on india to diluted. so overall dies with russia, which we are not prepared to do because we have a long, steady, trustworthy ties with russia. and it is in our national interest to maintain the closeness of those dies and the timing of the timing of the loop in that context is important. some of these, what are your thoughts on new daily calling moscow? it's most reliable partner and the thing up to you like both countries are getting a good deal here. well, yes, of course, because russia, frankly, because all of the jack only infections that had been imposed on russia and the
11:22 am
attempts to interfere with the international trade and its trade with partners. and generally, at least to hope for the economy with sanctions. russia needs partners and the india has always been a very good partner with our shop as president himself said that we've never had any problems between the 2 countries said that the discussion forum and he was very open to the idea of expanding trade dies oil. it supplies fertilizer supplies to india, and these are things that we need and we are ready to invest in the oil sector. we have increased our budget of a oil purchases from national last year, last month. russia was the biggest supplier to india having or they can solve the
11:23 am
area. so there is a mutual entity of interest. and in the larger context of what you said, just now, a multiple, a world. you know, the whole i was involved in the setting up all the india china dialogue and in the formation of brick before south africa got included. and the whole idea was to promote a multiple, a world and have a forum in which countries non western good to actually look at how the international relations were being dominated by certain traditional powers. and we needed to move out of the system and have a new form of government governor's, which would give you weight with a non western countries. so in that sense, i think by having close dies with russia and deepening them for we are also contributing to our mutual objective of promoting want to clarity. so we have this,
11:24 am
this blossoming relationship between india were in russia. what kind of response do you think can this will get in the, in the west? well, i think at one level, we are not very happy that we have not condemned shows innovation of ukraine. we have maintained a neutral position that we continue to buy from russia. on the other hand, they also understand that that, that russian, that india and russia had long sending dice and they cannot hope to dilute these dice in different future. so they have accepted unhappy with some unhappiness, dizzy l, a. d, all the situation on the other hand because we have very close dice now with united space because they have developed over the years. it doesn't become our biggest trading partner in technology partner. and they want very much to be
11:25 am
a partner in the pacific and in the ward. so the echo balance is denita, india in the pacific. and india, of course, is determined not to allow that to interfere in our relations with russia. so we are getting a balance and they are also forced to move into a certain balance and not hope to which are beyond a certain point. and they know that we would not accept that of the us treasury. secretary has said that if india wants to use western financial services, that the g 7 price cap on russian oil would also apply to india's purchases. why do you think washington is trying to dictate to new delhi on a choice of trading harness? i think they haven't heard a message, you know, i don't know why no one has said this again, our minister was in, in washington just a few days ago. and he said very clearly on television that we will buy oil
11:26 am
whenever we can get it. the cheapest price possible. because we are energy hungry country, 85 percent of our energy is imported. and we have a moral duty to our own people. and therefore, we are not going to be forced to buy the oil from before that country will buy. where did that, whatever it is, the most advantages to us. that is one. the other thing is this gap is not going to work because you got it, all market is highly integrated and they're gonna be double pricing. and if you're going to have a price gap on russian oil, why not a price gap on, on all other producers, even though it says, i mean this is what lead eventually do. everybody has to be very careful, why not a gap in the gas prices. and we're buying oil and gas from united states. why not a gap on, on those prices? why not a cap on other commodities?
11:27 am
so this is an unending game. so i don't know why united states is playing this game . now. if this does not apply to gas and oil supplied by 2 pipelines, which means that europe can get the oil jain, i can get an oil. japan is exempt from cycle and one oil. so hungry is exempt from a, from a price gap. so there in bill discrimination, there is discrimination in the matter in which is as we can see. so it's not going to work many thanks to any other program cameras about india x foreign secretary and that's, that's a rush. i really appreciate your time. thank you. as western energy market, i'm a big global power crime. the us and europe are increasingly criticized each other like caching in on the financial turmoil, the french president has accused american companies of profiteering while stressing the europe deserves a fair price for natural gas. washington has hit by claiming european phones,
11:28 am
the ones making all the money from the lucrative as n g trade. what's happening is the companies that hold those long term contracts with u. s. l n g producers. they're marking that up and earning that margin in the european market. it's not the u. s. l n g company. it's basically european, headquartered international oil companies and traders. remember when u. s. president joe biden came here to europe, back in march to plot in the european union, sanctioning russia cutting off its own russian energy source in the process. and promised to help europe replace that source with american energy. well, apparently european leaders didn't read the fine print or fully consider the implications of what they were signing on to, which was basically european dependence on american energy and whatever price they want to set that at the u. s. government is now denying responsibility for the high gas prices of their exports, blaming european energy company markups. and now fed up european officials want to
11:29 am
speak to the manager, but don't really seem to know who that is. maybe it's uncle sam, maybe in the world trade organization. here are the french and german finance ministers venting their frustrations. we must react fast. i'm calling for a united, strong and coordinated response from the e. u to our american allies. there is a risk of a major shock for french and european industry either they will be resolved there, and we hope they will. that's why we have the task force to discuss this. or we will have go to the w t o and envisage retaliatory measures. i have not been assured that the american side has completely crossed. how great all concerns about the consequences all in everyone's interest. we will not enter a tit for tat, but raw the strengths from the sources of wealth and growth together. so ease trying to figure out whether biden's inflation reduction act, which has a buy america component to the detriment of european cars and gives tax in energy incentives to companies to the disadvantage of any that might still want to remain in europe and deal with skyrocketing energy prices,
11:30 am
while they're trying to figure out whether that violates global trade rules. japan is also upset that americans could be dis, incentivized from buying jap. he's cars me while the u. s. is busy dodging the very same rules is egging on its allies to a dot. taking a careful step back from the cliff after allies have taken a flying leap right off it. earlier this week, us ship maker and video said, for example, that it has a new ship ready for the chinese market that will meet the new u. s. export controls, which are meant to essentially blocking china economically. washington's trying to get allies, japan, and you countries like the netherlands, for example, to follow these new export rules in an effort to economically blockade china. here's what the chinese foreign ministry said about those efforts. this is not the way in open and honest major country would act. the world sees clearly what the u. s. is up to anyone who tries.
