only got it more, stalling a scared august on the do not. she then did the alibi really desert? wonderful. i was just the oil. my last lot a lot you there has been a food isn't going on in fine theater. the layer ah, if the russian service men are on their way home, ukrainian captivity after the recent prisoner swap will bring you the latest. as soon as they arrive in the capital, hungary, there is no agreement with follow each members on a russian energy price cap, which under might fewer energy security. that's as some members say threatened to veto restrictions on russian oil import and complex between the democratic republic of the congo and rebels. nathan, and as these african nation agreed to mediate the rebels withdrawal from occupied

areas and send military support. this is the most important thing for us, is that we want peace, that our children who remain in the east of the country, our mothers, fathers, children, older brothers, will live in peace. we need help with the mosque out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel, love it here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. we begin with the latest from the ukrainian conflict. moscow and key at have conducted another major prisoner swap with some 50 russian service met, released on thursday in exchange for captured ukrainian troops. there sat to arrive in moscow shortly. now the russian defense ministries said the troops face grave danger in captivity. with some of the prisoners giving accounts of torture and ill treatment, we have our correspondent on the ground to bring you the latest when they arrive to

the russian capital. in the meantime, we heard from some of the soldiers shortly after they were transferred to the russian side of the front line. good morning, look, we're home. i'll see my friends and relatives. that's the most important thing which to look, i am very happy. thank you very much to everyone who worked to get us released a little. i don't have any words. i will try to forget everything that happened there as soon as possible. iraq close at the new mortgage. i am so delighted, but thanks to the ministry of defense, li we've been returned. no one forgot about it. everything is great that i'm alive and well and ready to serve. oh, i'm really please sitting there was impossible. i have no words. meanwhile, in ukraine power outages have been reported across the country. president zalinski said that every region has serious problems with electricity supply in the capital key as authorities now say power will be available only for 2 or 3 hours per day

until repairs are complete. with the city's mer asking residence to move to the countryside, if possible, earlier, russia's representative to the u. s. said moscow's air strikes on ukrainian infrastructure are a response to weapons deliveries by western states with the goal of this strikes being you undermined the combat capabilities of the ukranian army. now this comes as a number of western officials have been quick to condemn moscow for wednesday, stripe on ukrainian infrastructure, french president, a manual not kron branded, the attacks, a quote, war crime which cannot go unpunished. and us secretary of state antony blanket, said rushes aim is to keep ukrainians cold. and in the dark, however, retired us army. colonel douglas mcgregor says that moscow is in fact g, grading, the ukrainian military which itself stands accused of targeting residential areas. and the don bass and other new russian territories. we keep saying simply an

infrastructure. but if you're in a war and the electrical grid is supplying your troops and you destroy the electrical grid, it's not because he said out to harm civilians, you set out to deprive the military capacity of any access to energy. there's a lot of evidence. so on the other side, that high mars has been used to deliberately target russian civilians in damascus, hans, good and crime, and other places. i was the director of the joint operation center during the coastal air campaign. and we very rapidly ran out was in the 1st week and a half of let's say, military targets in the purest sense. i was, we'd hit all over airfields, we'd hit barracks, these guys, things it really wasn't much left over. he was flavio, remember was really almost a 3rd world country in terms of developing and they hadn't gotten very far as

douglas mcgregor just mention nato and li shirts, relentless bombing campaign against serbia act in 1999. the air strikes lasted $78.00 days and targeted not only military, but also civilian infrastructure. the u. s. lead operation went ahead without the approval of the un security council, which has been called a gross violation of international law and inactive aggression against a sovereign state of upgrade. based to strategic researcher told us that nato's interventions created even more problems for serbia and other countries. there are too many examples like again, like levy alex here. we can talk about your law history. from the time when the americans start this, they call intervention, we called the nato aggression. anything. i cannot say that we have some good results after day,

so we have more and more problems. the coastal for whole europe is like a black hole. and the place from the very spreading, the terrorism drug drugs, trafficking, the human trafficking and so on the european commission has agreed to exclude russian gas from joint procurement contract, which were set to account for 15 percent of the blocks gas storage facilities next year. that the move obliges the european commission to find other suppliers that countries remain divided on whether the price cap on russian oil import should go ahead. hungry, foreign minister says the energy price cap is a bad idea. to day we started negotiations on the introduction of a ceiling on gas prices. i can say that these are bad proposals, which also threaten europe's energy security. the ear right now is like

a little group of girls and junior high school that thinks they rule the whole town when all they really control is their own schoolyard. and they can't really even agree on how to do that. we're hearing today from the hungarian foreign minister that the blocks energy ministers could not agree on a natural gas price. ceiling and divisions have also emerged over a russian oil price cap, while gary, a hungry slovakia, the czech republic, estonia, poland, and latvia threatened to veto it for the block. arguing that the cap price will be set so high that is virtually useless to de russian. oil is trading at 77.7 dollars down already from yesterday's $81.00 and that's without any price cap, which the u. s argued needed to be higher than what you initially wanted and that's to avoid major global oil market disruption. russian, deputy prime minister, alexander novak has said that any customer implementing a cap just won't get oil. we're not planning to supply oil and petroleum products

to countries which will apply the price cap. we could instead divert our supplies to market oriented partners or reduce output. the whole idea of a cap was cooked up in the 1st place between the g 7 and the unelected u commission bureaucrats. and it's supposed to be implemented starting december 5th, which is coming up pretty quick. on that day to you is supposed to totally ban russian oil imports and their g 7 allies are supposed to stick to the cap price. but get this. the us treasury has already issued permits, allowing us firms to continue to provide maritime transport of russian oil, including t e u countries like bulgaria, croatia, and other landlocked member states of the you, as long as they abide by the price caps. so, so much for all that public height above the u. banning russian oil. the idea of course, is to deprive russian president vladimir putin of cash. they keep talking like they're hitting him personally. bam. right in the pocket book,

which frankly isn't much more ridiculous than the idea of hitting the russian economy when the g 7 and you represent just a fraction of the world market. so what's the west going to do? sanction the rest of the world buying russian oil at market prices. former u. s. secretary, treasury secretary steve minucci and sounds like he's in awe of the price cap idea . but in the way you would be in awe of someone jumping out of a plane without a parachute. i think it's the most ridiculous idea i've ever heard. a price cap. the market is going to set the price. so if you put sanctions on at higher prices in a way, you're just making the situation worse. in my opinion, the you had already reduced its direct imports by 90 percent in anticipation of this cap, all while gorging itself on russian fuel. like a fat kid who was about to be dragged away from the buffet table. they've imported it through offshore transfers between russian tankers and tankers of other countries. and also they've imported it from other countries that bring in russian

oil themselves. and then you know, the authoritarian russian oil co mingled with molecules of oil from other nationalities in the storage tanks and then gets shipped out to the u. moscow's oil output has been humming along at its highest level since the onset of the ukraine conflict. that's according to western press reports, opec plus members state saudi arabia has pointed out that it's unclear how the cap would actually even work in practice. so looks like another largely symbolic act for the e u and not without huge potential blow back. but who's going to let pragmatic reality yet in the way of ideology? apparently not the european commission. president ursula vander line, who sounds like she's already limbering up for virtue signaling. the way an opera singer does scales before a big performance. i'm confident that we will very soon approve a global priced cap on russian oil with the g 7 and other major partners. we will

not rest until ukraine has prevailed over putin and his unlawful and barbaric war. and washington is only too happy to cheer her on as the you continues right down this particular garden path to washington's own, ultimate economic benefit. banking and finance. professor richard warner says politicians putting price caps on the energy market is the road to disaster for national economy some say and is price that they proposing as a cap is too high and some say too low. and now that's the trouble. when bureaucrats or petitions decide they want to set prices. and they used to be a time when, as certainly in much of europe, people when favor of a market economy and market setting prices. but see how far we've come. it's now politicians and bureaucrats that one to that price is obviously the european

commission has been very much in the business of intervening for many years. but things that really accelerated. it doesn't make much sense and that's the trouble in a. so where do you said, if you want to set the price cap? i think russia is like you just to sit back, watch and, and essentially continue what it's been doing, which is deliver raw materials, oil and gas to, to its customers at market prices and prices that have been set by markets and then put into all tracks ukraine foreign minister has demanded europe slot more sanctions on russia, also claiming europe has no right to be tired of the war and should continue its support for my call on all my colleagues in the european union to put aside any doubts and start and quickly finish the new 9 sanctions package and make it as

powerful as possible if we ukrainians are not tired. the rest of europe has neither the moral nor the political right to be tired. the statement comes amid emerging report that the west is running low on weapons stalks due to its support for the intensifying conflict in ukraine. the stability of western arms deliveries to kiev is in question, as well as a 9 package of anti russian sanctions. we spoke to dr. george sam, welly a senior fellow at the global policy institute, who believes europe is suffering most from continued military, a to crane, as it has no large military stalks of its own. very interesting, the ukraine should insist that all of europe must be engaged on its side in a war against russia. that's remember, this is a war of choice or ukraine. so why should europe,

which had no say in all of this, and it's not that conflict. why should they essentially getting this into the top with your grain and see ukraine's war as its own war? with the exception of the united states, none of the nato member states of serious military power. they don't have industries that can produce weapons and ammunition at anything like the scale necessary to wage this war against russia. they never had any weapons. they never really had any ammunition and what, what little weapons and ammunition they have. it's all gone and you'd have to say that the russians of before impressively in destroy not just ukraine armory, but nathan has commerce as well. but it's like everything that nato has thrown at

russia pretty much been destroyed by russia, the democratic republic of congo and militants. of the m $23.00 rebel group could come to a few still east african nations have agreed to mediate the rebels withdrawal from occupied areas. after talks and then goal as capital, we got reaction from congo, leave people on the latest news and their expectations on the peace process itself of learning. the most important thing is that we want peace between the d r. c and rolanda rwandan families live in the d. r. c. rwandans have long lived in the territory of d r. c. honda. that is why we need peace, only peace and good mutual understanding on the does it is the most important thing for us is that we want peace to that our children who remain in the east of the country. our mothers, fathers, children, older brothers, will live in peace. we need help. peace is expected to return to them. aquatic republic of congo, on friday after enactment was reaching dead, deal ensure, se,

so fire ended the immediate with well of the m. 23 rebels in the upgrade areas. these comes after the kimberly's president methylated, the one, the foreign minister in a move to bring an end to the recent station in the eastern v r c dela holstead by their uncle and president in the copper top lawanda. these, these are fire agreement comes after a previous attempt to res, turkeys in july haley. the eastern the r c has been play good for nearly 30 year by violin from. i'm a group, many of them retired from a word that bloated the region in the wake of 1994 wonder gina seed with the d. r. c, accusing his neighbor wonder off placing the m. 23 kenya. formally, there has been attempting to immediate in recent weeks. we did a hope that the one that president polka got me,

who the incorrect the military to see so fire and the pull back from cup traded territory. on monday, kenya, president william hulu. mchale talked with the heath congress contained barked as a part of an in going diplomatic plan to come to the sanction. uganda is that to become the thursday to send troops to the region. after continuing from 10 burgundy arrived to the d. r. c. m. 20. re rabble group launched a major offensive this year, seizing multiple territories with thousands of locals displays and provoking a diplomatic conflict between the d. r. c and rwanda. uganda agreed to deploy military forces following april decision by 7 countries of the east african community to set up a force to fight the rebels. the democratic republic of the congo joined the community. earlier this year we got reaction from congo least people on the latest developments. so personally, i believe in what we've quoted unity and togetherness integration as this stuff.

rica now, goodies is far bigger than thinking about the country individually. but now about thinking about you stuck rec as a whole you, you and you and i know that if there is a problem in comb, voice africa is not that piece under free stuff. you guys know that piece. even uganda is not that trees. yeah. when days giving a hoping hon to clone will cause people coming that day in, i mean taking the it's like that you and me taking the goods of the people of congo. so you, brenda, coming up is lake coma being gay, made by uganda. so it's like giving, hoping time are you i left people's defense forces folks 1st that told us more about how the african troop deployment would work on the grounds, the east african commune to heads of states. mid to natal. i'm the jail municipal then approved into can yetta and decided to deploy

a and is tough. who can do to mission force guzman? and it would be to this, um, the foot in the city didn't leave that to close his india to see each gun to was given him and it i mean a 6 to so the city country that i'm ready to deploy because i have a dozen you didn't do that, i will do a rooney, uganda, and opinion. and now on to the bricks gathering and russia st. petersburg, bringing together business delegations from 50 countries to discuss investment initiatives within the block. the president of the bricks. international forum says the world outlook is starting to move towards the east upcoming

very important for played foam or are changing situation because now warranties are very high inflation in all countries and ready for this balance because situation and now brock, 13 and bricks lock is up becoming more solution, more and more economically, a margin countries, all the countries did not get there won't be long in that restaurant system. that's my ren china, and russia are showing that we are having done it and they are growing and we are having part of it. then other countries are also looking to work for seeing that like strategy give us a. but now that

he started to apply their membership in the big showcasing, the groups also want to ship to the country. we don't, don't want to double up and i've done more than all the best we can all me in bus beeble on the new model. i think it was right and our internet is still grow together. the head of the palestinian mission in the u. k. was the, has accused the west of double standards when it comes to solving global conflicts . saying that the ukranian conflict is taken more seriously than the situation in palestine. why did we create all these international conventions and rules? it is exactly because when accountability is needed, we enforce it on countries that invades occupy annex that was on the variable for you. been illegal settlements, which is a war crime. otherwise,

the duplicity of the double to stunt those we are seeing in comparison to ukraine is striking offers. meanwhile, israel has demolished an elementary school in the west bank that was recently established for the local palestinian community. according to israeli authorities, the school was destroyed due to security reasons, as it was built illegally and a special military's own created as a training gap ground for israeli soldiers, the palestinian ministry of education called the demolition a quote, heinous crime. with the nearest primary school for palestinian children located at least 4 kilometers away. un experts have repeatedly accused israel of rights, violations in the occupied west bank and gaza. tel aviv however, claims that as a state party to an ongoing military conflict. the issue of national security is a higher priority than respect for human rights. a gods at base political science professor told us that israel's actions are under the protection of the u. s. which

prefers to focus on targeting russia over the conflict. and ukraine has been demolishing palestinian homes, confiscating palestinian land and also killing palestinian school children more than 200 palestinians. 2 have been killed by israel from the beginning of this year, 2022 and unfortunately. 2 in the international media, we do not hear about that. we do not hear you as an western criticism of israel for acting as a country above international law. we do not hear from the u. s. on western europe . and the statements regarding not holding is where i counted 4, it's violation of international law. and it's violation of palestinian basic human rights. that is that that western a park was the and double standard is no longer acceptable in our ward. i think

it's about time that the u. s. and western europe hold israel accountable and do not treat the palestinians. and in this a despicable a double standards. in the meantime, the u. s. has paid more attention or has a basically try to hold russia more responsible for what is happening in ukraine and nothing has been paid? well, nothing has been done. told is, will accountable for its violation of international law for its violation of un security council resolutions and also for a putting enough threshold to put an end to its occupation. and it's encroachment of palestinian man and thomaston and international. the u. s. department of agriculture says the conflict in ukraine is the reason why americans are paying more for their thanksgiving dinner. the price of a large, fresh turkey will cost just $0.02 more per pound than last year. in a large,

frozen turkey will cost $0.09 more per pound than last year. with the ongoing highly pathogenic avian influence outbreak rushes war on ukraine and drought across the united states. pushing up the price of thanksgiving, staples. according to our officials, the conflict has resulted in a critical supply of wheat, corn, barley, and other grain being depleted. joe biden earlier referred to rising food prices as hooton's price hight. however, costs were surging, even before the war. a rock did back in february with inflation beginning to rise almost immediately after biden took off as your earlier. many americans aren't happy with the unpleasant thanksgiving surprise, while one farm owner said she was embarrassed to tell people the latest turkey prices. you know, i have a very good picture now. i'm thinking maybe it's not enough. oh yeah. i was 10 years ago. i tell people some people retire early, you know, it would be inflation tried to turn. he said very high. i don't know how much good

my daughter bought hello time ago, but they're high school, the prices. i even the plot with the prices of the turkey astronomy. nicole, i'm in dallas to tell people, but there's no way around it. well, a lot of people hear the price and even though their customers for many years, they say, i can't claim that the u. s. has sanctioned 3 iranian security officials for tackling protest in the countries. kurdish majority areas, something tehran as justified siding national security concerns. this comes as washington denounced auron for attacking the church oil a take rudy of neighboring, a rock by striking curds in the country. iran's violations of iraqi territorial integrity continue with little attacks carried out against the

iraqi kurdistan region from november 20th through 22nd. the united states strongly condemns these repeated and brazen violations and calls on iraq to refrain from further threats and violence. or ron says it targeted terrors groups and iraqi kurdistan, accusing them of crossing the border to support domestic extremists. seeking to secede from tehran with washington to support the u. s. has expressed concerns about the military intervention, despite his own 2003 invasion of the country without a un mandate. we spoke to international lawyer or nod dba like who told us that iraqi kurdistan is used as a platform to do stabilizer, ron? so when you consider that o d u s, and these well use of been using iraqi kurdistan as a platform to destabilize the rome on each western borders. and so basically what you want is saying is that they're going to give baghdad the central government of

iraq, the opportunity to get a great on the situation. but if baghdad is not able to do so, you would have to wear streamers. this responsibility and act reporting. it's a matter of national security for your own. and that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour with at the recent g. 20 meeting in bali and the west did all it could with the help of corporate media to isolate russia. all their efforts came to nothing. in fact, the opposite happened. russia was a welcome participates nato's proxy. war in ukraine. does united much of the global south it's nato,

against the world. ah, [000:00:00;00] with oh, in the summer of 2022, italy, along with all other nato member states to think of li,

sided with ukraine in the army conflict with russia. rome in coordination with the u. s. approved a military assistance package for keith to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back. looking glad, i'm not jealous, father of lilyanne will spin this van. you'll need you on your job site on the same nato and the u. f with you. and the ones that people will die just for make money. there are those who oppose the decision at various levels of government. i was one of these are the members of the parliament that showed day. yes, i'm else italians also protested in the streets. mm. but across the ocean in the united states, their voices am not heard. italy holds the record for the number of usaa nato
