a almost them let's see when you miss a home and you're still foolish there in your sewage. near i see the go with we informed the world community plant is at risk of a nebular accident. it's breaking news. you're not into national. as russia warns of a possible nuclear catastrophe in europe, a definite orgy power plant once again comes under ukrainian shelling over the weekend. it's as moscow holds night long talks with a you ends with comic watch talk over the precarious situation. i should warn you some disturbing images coming your way. see you okay, is your portly circumventing its own ban on russian oil info shipments that russian crude arrive london's official records make 0 mention of it as

bronze questions? it's military present in book in a fact. so i made a writing tension in the country. president micron accuses russia of spreading disinformation in africa with microsoft to 6 pm on monday. here in moscow. this is our t international. it's so good to have you with us today are. we're turning off updates on our breaking news story here. this our on our to international europe is staring a nuclear disaster in the face. that is a dire warning coming from russia over the situation at the depth at all. she power plant over the weekend, europe's largest nuclear power plant, once again came under ukrainian. shelling at promoted urgent talks between the russian nuclear agency ross at him and the un atomic energy watchdog over this escalation. regarding the latest attack, the russian defense ministry claims ukrainian forces 5 more than a dozen rounds of artillery shells. whereas ukraine claims russian forces what

behind the strikes, the head of the i. e. a has called for a protection zone around the plot. and for an end to the shelling which risks causing a catastrophic nuclear incident, as he is he goes down off now has more recent remarks coming from the russian nuclear agency. the zeal, rosseta rushes atomic energy giant was how i was holding a brief media conference here in the russian town of such an event at an atomic energy event here that it is organizing. and basically, indeed, has confirmed, the ceo has confirmed that the situation at the separate you nuclear power plant is indeed very, very dangerous. have a lesson up. but we were in talks with the i a e, a almost all night. we know that rafael grossi has held talks with european leaders and conveyed the concern we informed the world community that the plant is at risk of a nucular accident. and it is obvious that key of considers it possible to allow a nuclear incident that will forever change the course of history in europe.

actually, william, according to the leaders of the world, new to come to their senses and instruct politicians and kia to come back to reality. who in their plans are apparently beginning to allow the potential of nucular incidence to further their interests. and with this very concerning statements are, well ros atoms, chief has only has merely chimed in to the choir of all the voices and rush, all sorts of politicians of all calibers that have been indeed warning and calling on the u. s. on europe, on ukraine's allies essentially to stop, keep, to prevent, keep from shelling these uppers you nuclear power plant. now this is an accusation that cave itself has vehemently denied. and while point pointing the finger of blame at russia in turn, moscow has been saying that is absolute nonsense. the sued will preposterous idea. this is what they've called it, that russia could be shelling the territory that it is that it is now has control over. and indeed i did visit this approach to nuclear power plant back in august.

and we were shown the debris, for instance, of a polish made combat drone, which was shot down over the plant before it had the opportunity, had the chance to real any damage. and russia, of course, doesn't have the russian military does not have polish may drones in its arsenal. and of course, we were also shown the scale of the devastation that was a dell to this approach, a nuclear power plant. well, luckily, nothing critical that we observe that at the time, but indeed some of the, some of the are, some of the destruction was quite significant. nonetheless, for instance, whole workshops were rendered and operational, for instance, a cooling workshop. and so certain portions of the approaching nuclear power plants, a power plant, had to be shut down. now our visit journalist visited coincided with the visit of none other than rafael grossey himself. again, the head of the international atomic energy agency a you and back to watchdog an atomic energy watchdog. and so he had the chance to

see everything that we journalists were shown. and since august, a small detachment of the i. e, a specialist, they have been present 247 from what we understand. at these approach, you nuclear power plant, monitoring the situation there, and kind underlining and backing. the concerns that russia has over the while potential threat that emanates from the facility and according for instance, to the latest statement over the spokesman for the russian president mitre pers cove. he has said that indeed i agrees that the threat is very real, although it abstains from our well appointing blame and while attributing blame as to who's responsible for the shelling. so again, the statement by ross atoms, seo, just again stresses that the threat is very real and well, of course, as you've said, the radioactive cloud, it will not respect any visa policies. interesting story for you here on the

program, the u. k is circumventing its own commitment of not importing oil supplies from russia. that is actually being reported by the u. k. sunday times. which has revealed how the russian energy source is important to britain though. undeclared, the field was one of, at least that a non congress of russian oil was more than 200000000 pounds. to have arrived at british pause soon, the invasion of ukraine. but it has been classified as inputs from elsewhere. time to learn more here on the program, costing life out to all contributive, as ortiz, rachel moss and good afternoon to you. rachel. great story. this are the u. k. government, essentially for months now, they've been saying no more russian energy. we can't have any money going into putin's coff has to pay for this conflict in ukraine. no russian energy but hold on a 2nd. the u. k is actually secretly importing it is not right.

he adds the story of irresistible forbidden love. apparently the u. k. government has been importing this nasty authoritarian oil from russia while projecting to the public. that only freedom molecules would be allowed to disembark on britain's pristine shores. british officials have been talking up this mighty sacrifice that they were making for ukraine by not buying russian oil, which they like to pretend goes straight into russian president library putin's pockets to use as spending money in the ukraine conflict or, you know, maybe black friday sales whatever, over the summer, the british office for national statistics even reported that for the 1st time ever, there weren't any russian oil imports into the u. k. and this was despite the fact that russia was britton's largest oil supplier just the year before. and it was all, seemingly due to the hard work and iron will of british officials to make this

russian oil embargo happen. now have a listen to what they've said in the past. the united states, the united kingdom, this week announced our plans to stock importing russian oil and the e. you have announced their plans to reduce their dependency to ending europe's collective dependence on russian oil and gas. i want to make clear to the house that we fully intend, and we must end our dependency on all russian hydrocarbons. well, despite all that pontificating, it turns out that was all a big charade. the russian oil has still been coming in since at least june and july. well, how exactly? turns out there's been some love boat action happening between tankers out there in the ocean. russian tankers are hooking up with other ships off shore,

and those ships flagged under other countries, carry on to britain and allow london to maintain its virtuous stance through oil. wandering, basically, the european union also has countries that have been loading up on russian oil even as they talk up a pending oil ban. the netherlands, for example, took in a 126 per cent, more russian diesel this month compared to you last month alone. asked for the notion of cutting off rushes. oil revenues. it's fuel exports by sea are now at their highest level since 2017 up 22 percent month on month in november alone. so despite the west's blowing eating and virtue signaling, it looks like it's having a really tough time prying itself away from russian fuel. but it really wants everyone to believe that the exact opposite is true. it's no wonder they're pulling out all the stops. just take a look at the situation right now in germany for a glimpse of how bad things can get. if country stop the imports with oil shortage

is looming and diesel prices up 70 percent in germany from this time last year. and it looks like the you might be fighting with each other and with other countries over the supply pretty soon. that's according to the international energy agency heavily the competition for known russian diesel barrels will be fis with a you. countries having to bid call goes from the u. s. middle east and india away from their traditional bias. increased refinery capacity will eventually help ease diesel tensions. however, until then, if prices go too high for the demand, destruction may be inevitable for the market imbalances to clear. so the former us treasury secretary under donald trump, steve minuchi and said that the russian oil price cat was, quote, the most ridiculous idea i've ever heard. sure,

it's unfeasible that that's only if you don't cheat and tell the public one thing while doing the exact opposite behind everyone's back or i don't use contributor rachel martin. always good to see you. thank you. good to have you with us for this program. a frances defense minister says that his country's not ruled out of full withdrawal of its special forces from buck keena faso as, as tensions heat up in the west african country essentially over the issue. the main bone of contention being that of the french military presence, that here's our africa correspondence, catabolic tattler. there is a special resentment as to the presence of french military in the region. let's not forget that the french military in the region of the presence of that started back in 2014, with operation for connie, and then has not yielded fruits. as we've seen numerous insurgent groups rising to destabilize the health region and particularly countries affects it would be molly

would be chad and booking fossil and bulky fossil. what we saw on friday was a several hundreds of protesters, mainly young people who marched on the capital of latina fossil, while the 2 groups marching to demand, the expulsion of the french ambassador. and the reason, as well as the withdrawal of the french military in the country as a whole, is the big enough to blame the french military for the continued insurgency that we have seen in that country. and for most of tina fossil is problems. now, when it comes to france itself, we saw the french need that coming out this weekend, really responding to some of the criticism that he's received with regards to his country's conduct in african state. and the re, one of france has really been stock splendid. if you will, would they blame any thing and any one else except themselves equal to the fact

that his perception is fed by others? it's a political project. i know for the many influences or some time will be on your programs are made by the russians, as we know them. a number of powers who bred every once in africa are doing this to hurt for i heard its language so doubt, but above all, pursue certain interests. the problem with him i will not cry. and i guess numerous presidents even before him is that they is almost no recognition of the agency that african want. this is not something that is happening in as one of you said country is a wave of and frank fennel. and that has really been growing in the hill country in west africa. and the most beautiful of france's critics came from its neighbor, surprisingly enough, the new italian prime minister, georgia maloney who really went to town with regard to francis failings on the

continent. and that they should stop playing a political game with people's lives square. so monday, you know, this is a child who works in a gold mine in brooklyn, foster. it's one of the poorest nations in the world, from prince colonial money for the kena also, which has gold in return they demanded the sent everything up in the coffers from the french treasury on the goal. the child goes down, the struggle muslims up in the coffers of the french state. so the solution is not to take the africans and bring them to you. the solution is to free africa from session. european lloyd did not allow people to leave only what they have. so what the range fail to recognize is that africa is going through its own change, that every country has its own developmental aims. and they even need to quell the insurgency and insecurity that has really the best that itself upon the hell

countries, particularly in west africa, france has to be looked at its relationship with it, with the former colonies, and now independent african states. it needs an interest in action, but more than anything, it's very easy to blame, right? yeah, right now, if europe has really made russia into a bogeyman, that's not how russia viewed here on the continent, there was much isn't hotel where young people were carrying righteous flag and hurling until brings learn. and that to tell you something about the sentiment that is prevailing on the ground and what people expect out of a partner. and perhaps that's why more and more young african looking eastwood for a new partner that they can really rely on. all right, let's take this further here on our crossing. lived out to africa and list and senior research fellow at the university of john has bug coffee quack who are joining us here on our team to national you would live in jo book just about quarter past 5, monday evening where you want to,

thanks so much for coming on the program here at our team, what do you, what do you think about this? the french defense minister essentially suggesting that his country strategy in africa, africa, could say that about a military withdrawal from but kina foster, what do you read into that? it's a surprising statement. no. yes, it says that it's a double speak. i think george oil would know stated any better. because on the one hand, the french are telling everybody in public, clear internationally that they're living the african continent. they're leaving molly, they're working out. so, and then they're moving somewhere else. forget it is going to happen and they can't do it without pain. there's a rolling wave, almost. so none of the realities of african that are coming to slap french, prince in the space and it started with the president. and these other realities were, africans are now better inform, the youth is just, they dynamic enough realizing what's happened there,

colonial legacy of the pain of france in franklin, for africa. which for me, haven't been really 3. there is no. and then the french to control them is now coming home to roost for french. so the french defense minister statement to me, it's a double. so it's very interesting how you describe it as a soon army of sentiment against the colonial legacy. and the biggest confident in the world there, mr. walker, it's, it's almost like africa is going through some sort of growing pains right now it's, it's leaving an old history behind and entering into this new multi polar world that is using paying and vladimir putin keep talking about you mentioning up front as president malcolm at the new, our, excuse me, and macro, and he's accused of russia and other countries of spreading disinformation in africa and trying to hook france will you will be surprised by those words. perhaps the true the demo. we know many of us will be monitoring or observing this for

a long time and who are in fact a product of this french colon the output. i'm not surprised, we saw it coming. if we took a very close and honest french frames, trenches leg it's equal and you legacy and do, and boy didn't bring the french fail. and the recognition that, for instance, bill is still very difficult for french to not just recognize it, but to swallow it. and come to the table and say, look, let's get rid of the choking pull in your handcuffs. and then now you want it in french, we also call the cash 6 week, mean i the private price. and then discuss, frankly, because africans are now looking for different partners partners that are looking for when, when you mention it. and i think russia is emerging as one of the china is already in there, that many of them are coming up. and in the sense africans are looking for something

that can help them to grow and develop better than what they've seen before. we don't want to see africans painfully traversing the mediterranean sea to die, to go to france. when we know, in fact, africans are not poor african countries and what they are made pooler by french. and that's something that need to be outlined and official and public talking. it's a very interesting comment that mr. clock. okay, considering, you know, many people call africa the, the bread basket of the world. interesting. also, as you say, that africa is scoring new partners as it moves forward. now, regarding russia and chinese, china has already been there for quite some time already. we know china has been building infrastructure schools and roads and hospitals in various parts of the continent. tell me mr. kwaku about the comments from the italian, the new italian prime minister, maloney, she slammed from his stones on but a keener, faster, and francis had a military presence in but kinda far so since 1896. and the italian prime minister was blasting franz and his colonial tendencies. it is surprising that if lee would

be pouncing on france, the surprising thing is it please taking a long time in fact, the other, another prime minister. i forgot his name, but i think it's my feel. yeah. something he started any but he was right. and then the talons afrikaner. say he in the hospital, which means i also infringe to say how to avoid between the tired of friends is really creating habit for it. and then those who are paying the price in italy because migrates of locking down to me in the southern part of the northern part of the mr. any in between italy, greece and other places. and frankly, if you were to menu right, when you migrate on an interested, really to go to, to, to europe because there's a left, there's enough here. if the conditions,

the economic condition, political conditions that the french are tweaking out and making, you know, some kind of make it difficult for people to live. it cannot, meekly, when we read the specifics about growth in africa and 85 percent synagogue might be sent and so forth. they don't translate into the real to the people. that's really the reason people are moving. and the reason why they don't translate is that there's an oligarchy. french car keeps that controls all the companies and the revenues. but of course, also french controls. most of the persons of the country, making it difficult to make clear decisions for economic emancipation. that's making people to move across and then migrate to europe and italian prime ministers, right? learn is right. she has a point, it's not becoming popular. she's really fed up and the french have to hear from and so from people in you, in the european union, from the partners and so forth. and also from africans like we just want some peach

and we're tired of the school and joke that choking people. well, certainly, when you look at the history of africa, as you suggested that the economic rape and pillage of the continent has been going on for far too long already. mr. walker, i've got very little time here. just last question for you. if i may, if i could get you to sit down at a table right across from emanuel macro, the french president, what would you say to him directly regarding the french presence in africa? the 1st thing that a couple of thing, the 1st one is to get rid of the colonial monetary system call this year. that's the 1st one. second one is to get rid of all the military bases that the french have in what's called franco for africa. and in food, we examine the relationship with africa, at least the franco for africa, and then make sure that it's a win win a partnership, but also not be too fearful of russia in china. and the french is not doing your

job. somebody else to do a job, coffee quack, who coming to us lie from job that africa? i'm listen to a senior research fellow at the university of johanna's book. great to have you on the program. thank you very much for your time today. thank you very much. thank you. thanks for joining us as well. for this monday show from moscow, the us private military company called mozart had a so called counter to russia's wagon. a group has been found in the ukrainian controlled city of our channel. it's going to donate republic handing out bare patches. apparently the head of the group handed out patches where the organizations logos to ukrainian soldiers, members of the miniature organization were also seen walking around the city, checking out buildings. well, just for a moment here, let's take a closer look at the most sought private military company. was founded by iraq and afghanistan, war veteran and the milburn. this year, the groups, the group says it's a conducting military training and provide monetary,

an aide. its main donors, all us hedge fund managers, according to its head. and the organization says it took its naming response to russia's wagner company who disregarded any comparison no matter what they call themselves mozart or sally airy. this does not give them any strength, no advantages, nothing but height. of course, they can always be a force in the well that can resist you and there's nothing unexpected in this. this is the normal course of history. talking about a confrontation between vogue and mozart is somehow ridiculous. the wagner groups there to oppose the ukrainian army and it is a decisive force in this direction where you can find out much more about the nature of rushers. wagner group. you can, in fact, i watch a brand new audi documentary, which does shed light on the military firm and exactly how it operates. it's a coming up in the program in a couple of hours though, his a clip of what will be coming soon.

chill co ordinator ethan. yes. just so but i'm gene. but if you shall know sway would deal with you just the socum. what you what's a, what's the units? the tip of the reason done. i'm used to sober on the what the, what used to me as a bad event and good up no worse. come my yawning to was was again to way you to us and you can, you can give me a som, did you? but he had meant to solicit a demo state. this is like he go it at a total of shit you when you want, but a still go it at that you're going out to pick. oh, go ahead. yes, we are doing wine, you jump when you set up a pilot. it was easy. jim was any mindset. stormwind yell im when gillian, a shame said i knew was

a shameful little goldman regarding your stir. still somewhere jehovah, when you thought budget her fortune july, july to june, july the what issue? judging from when you to differ what a normal life did you guys beaujolais with julie? a conveyance of each moment. mm hm. yeah, it's a shame in ah

is asi international. a person, reportedly a russian prisoner of war showing being held captive by ukrainian soldiers is bound in a casket, allegedly set to be buried alive. that's portly. what a chilling video shows posted by a ukranian military officer to his twitter account, a warning you will find this disturbing. what do you mind? what joy look away? in a separate case, the un has called on kia to investigate video. that's also a most online, reportedly showing at least 11 russian prisoners of war who were killed by ukrainian forces. a key west. a news outlet says it's verified the authenticity of the footage in a sharp contrast to a tendency of a well denying potential ukrainian war crimes. the video appeared to show russian

soldiers who were alive lined up on the ground. in the following scenes, they were then laying lifeless in the same position. basically in pulls of blood it looks like most of them were shot in the head. the repose of blood that indicates that they were just left the dead. there appears to have been no effort to pick them up or help them. we spoke with a j a politic specialist, former us marine bron valesa. did he? i guess he expanded on why he thinks ukrainian soldiers would post such atrocities online. it's because of the impunity that the ukrainian forces have enjoyed throughout. not only this most recent part of the conflict, the russian special military operation. but since 2014. and we don't hear anything from the western media about ukraine shelling the don bus region for 8 years or any of the atrocities that had taken place from 2014 onward. and they know that no

matter what they do, they'll get away with it. i still don't think the westfall push the issue at all. ukraine is still lying about well at least one missile falling in poland and killing 2 polish civilians. they're lying even when in their best interests they should be telling the truth. and in an instant like this, they want to keep the barbarity going, and unfortunately, no one, no one except russia and its allies will hold them accountable. or nearly ha, possibly out here in moscow, a very strong earthquake in indonesia earlier today has left at least 163 people debt and hundreds more injured. the natural disaster had one of the country's main islands, java, the hardest, local official say. the 5.6 magnitude quake rock the western province of the territory originating as we understand 10 kilometers underground. strong tremors were held in the capital jakarta where people gathered at emergency points for sheltering. while earthquakes often struck the country which sits on the pacific

ring of fire this past week for an up take an activity on the island chain leading up to what was today's deadly event. i read more about that. oh, it's quick and the ramifications of it as well for that full part of the world at r t dot com. for the meantime, one of the monday worldwide news headlines returning for you. at the top of the the i nato's ukraine prophecy war against russia almost spiraled out of control. after was erroneous, lee reported brush fired a missile into poland. lensky regime, in many western bankers, couldn't believe their good fortune. finally, there was justification to start ha or against russia. alas, cooler heads prevailed and.
