a to look for common ground a with 50 russian service men are on their way home from ukrainian captivity after the recent prisoner swap will bring you the latest. as soon as they arrive in the capitol. hungary feathers, no agreement with fellow members on russia, energy priced cap, which undermined europe's energy security. that some members say threatened to veto restrictions on russian oil imports. and the conflict between the democratic republic of the congo and rebel group may soon and as east african nations agree 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 a mosque out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. we begin with the latest from the ukrainian conflict mos guarantee at had conducted another major prisoner swap with some 50 russian service met released on thursday in exchange for captured ukrainian troops there such or arrive in moscow shortly. the russian defense ministry said the troops face to grave danger and captivity with some of the prisoners describing 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. somebody that knows that we're home. i'll see my friends and relatives. that's the most important thing, which, you know, i am very happy. thank you very much to every one who worked to get us released. i don't have any words. i will try to forget everything that happened there as soon as possible. iraq both the new as moses, i am so delighted with thanks to the ministry of defense city. we've been returned . no one forgot about us. everything is great that i am alive and well and ready to serve. i am really pleased sitting there was impossible. i have no words. meanwhile, in ukraine, power outages have been reported across the country. president zalinski said that every regent has serious problems with electricity supply in the capital of t at authorities. now say power will be available only for 2 or 3 hours per day

until the repairs are complete with the city's mer asking residence to move to the countryside if possible. earlier russia's representative to the un said moscow, the airstrikes on ukrainian infrastructure are, were a response to weapons deliveries by western states with the goal of this strikes being to undermined the combat capabilities of ukrainian army. this comes as a number of western officials were quick to condemn moscow for wednesday strikes, friend president emanuel micron, branded the attacks as a quote war crime which could not go unpunished. an u. s. 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 degrading the ukrainian military, which itself stands accused of targeting residential areas in the don bath and other new russian territories. we keep saying civilian 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 you set 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 the airfields, we'd hit barracks, these guys, things, it really wasn't much left over. and he was flavio, remember, was really almost a 3rd world country in terms of development. he hadn't gotten very far as douglas mcgregor just mentioned,

nato and lee shits relentless bombing campaign against serbia and 999. their strike floss is $78.00 days and targeted not only military, but also civilian infrastructure. the u. s. let 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 base to strategic researchers 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 american star days, 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 its place from very spreading. the terry's drug drugs, trafficking human trafficking and so on. their appeal commission has agreed to exclude russian gas from joint procurement contracts, which were set to account for 15 percent of the blocks gas storage facilities. next year, the move obliges the european commission to find other suppliers that says you 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 school yard. 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. you commission bureaucrats and it's supposed to be implemented starting december 5th, which is coming up pretty quick. on that day, the 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, you 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. a secretary treasury secretary steve minucci and sounds like he's in awe of the price cap idea. but in the way you would be an av. 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 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 get shipped out to the u. moscow's oil output has been coming 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. 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 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 scale before a big performance. i'm confident that we will very soon approve a global price cap on russian oil with the g 7 and other major partners. we will not rest until ukraine has prevailed over poot and his unlawful and barbaric war.

and washington is only too happy to cheer her on, as you continues right down this particular garden path to washington's own, ultimate economic benefit. banking and finance for buzzer richard warner says politicians, putting price caps on the energy market is a road to disaster or national economy. some say this 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 the prices. obviously, the european commission has been very much in the business of intervening for many

years. but things really accelerated. it doesn't make much sense. and that's the trouble in as to where you said, if you want to set the price cap, i think russia is blanket to sit back, watch and, and essentially continue what it's been doing, which is deliver raw materials, oil and gas to its customers at market prices and prices that have been set by markets and then put into all tracks your grand foreign minister has demanded europe flop more sanctions on russia. also claiming europe has no right to be tired of the war and should continue its support of kiev. i 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. this they may have made emerging reports of the west is running low on weapons docs due to its support for the intensifying conflict in ukraine. this ability of western arms deliveries to kiev is in question, as well as a 9th package of anti russian sanctions. we spoke to dr. george sam, welly, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute, who believes europe is suffering most from continued military age ukraine, as it has no large military stalks of its own. very interesting, 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 for ukraine. so why should europe, which had no say in all of this, and it's not that conflict. why should they essentially getting into the tar,

with ukraine and see ukraine's war as its own. 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. marie nate, whose comrie as well, but it's like everything that nato has thrown at russia pretty much been destroyed by russia. peace could be on the horizon and the democratic republic of congo

as east african nations have agreed to help jointly fight the m 23 rebel group in the east of the country. that's after talks and then goal as capital. we got reaction from congo lose. people on the latest news and their expectations on the cooperation between african states. the, the most important thing is that we want peace between the d r c and rolanda rwandan families live in d r. c. rwandans have long lived in the territory of d r. c. on that, that is why we need peace, only peace and good mutual understanding on the does it does. if the most important thing for us is that we want peace, not 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. the piece is expected to return to the ma, craddick, republic of congo. on friday after enablement was reaching dead, deal ensure, as he saw fire ended, the immediate withdrawal of the am $23.00 rebels into the occupant areas. these

comes after the kimberly's president met. we did the honda foreign minister in a move to bring an end to the recent taishan in the eastern the r c. though it holstead by their uncle and president any the cop tote lawanda. these, these are fire element comes after a previous attempt to restore a peace in july haley the eastern the r c has been plagued for nearly 30 year by violence from i may grow many of them retained from the word that the blow did the region and in the wake of 1994 wonder jenna seed with the d. r. c. accusing it to neighbor wonder awful, baking the m. 23. kenya. formally, there has been attempting to immediate in recent weeks with the hope that the one that president polka got me for the anchorage to the military to cease a fire and the pull back from a cup traded territory on monday. kenya,

president william, who do come here to talks. we, the, he is congress contained barked as a part of an in going diplomatic plan to come to detention uganda in such a become the 3rd state to send troops to the region after contingent from kenya and burundi. 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 join the community. earlier this year, we spoke to a ugandan army spokesperson, who described how the african troop deployment would work, and how a un mission and the rigid failed to meet its aims. the east african community heads of states, mid meadow. i'm the jim when the shipper was integrated into can yetta and decided

to deploy a new stuff for can to mission for who's am and it would be to this the foot in the negative push in india didn't agree with his 960 to lead to that only the most expensive mission and you and he's been fighting swing by being killed cali, people shared with us their opinion on the collective fight against m. 23 rebels telling us it's time to think about shared solutions to problems. instead of focusing on single states, personally, i believe in what we call unity and to get this integration as this stuff right now is, is far bigger than think about our country individually. but now about thinking about

you separate as a whole. you and you and i know that if there is a problem in conway, separate guys, not that piece and stuff right guys. not that be even, you know, that yeah. when days giving you, hoping hon to cornwall court people complaining that. i mean, taking the, it's like the, you mean, taking the goods of the people of congo. so you're going to coming up the lake called being a neighbor to uganda. so it's like giving you hoping hand and now onto the 3 day breaks gathering and russia st. petersburg, bringing together business delegations from 50 countries to discuss investment and initiative within the block delegations from berks member states are presenting their project proposals and rushes northern capital. the main session on friday will focus on digital development, raising urban living, sanders and rural economic projects. we caught up with the head of the indian

center for promotion of international initiative, who says a brick provides a form for equal opportunities which attract more new members. i would like to see the concept of big plus municipality for them. this is a very great initiative and a great idea because everybody's working on different platform or agenda, which is related to governmental level or into the business to be a 2nd level. bricks group is not a viable. it is a open group open platform which equally support and help such countries. and when we talk about the new world order or the new people or the word bricks and the brick friendly countries, please, a very important to look into this thing. russia, india, china, to please a very important role for making a new market. and at the same and all such countries like the certainty, gd, iran, saudi arabia, they have shown their interest to join the big block because they understand that this is one platform which is not biased. it's, it's like a neutral block, and it,

we will get equal opportunity to grow and develop our concrete and help our churches. and also, both in the controversy has sparked in kenya over the government's decision to order 11 tons of genetically modified, made speeds from south africa for next years, planning season with one of the countries, governors demanding the government review. it's decision g m o. these are more resistant to pass with the crop, also needing only 3 protective sprays before reaching maturity instead of an average of 12 sprays for non g m. o harvest, the government made the move to help stabilize national food security. we have taken deliberate decision to improve the current di food situation in the country. we have decided to allow the importation of g m o maze into the country until the food situation improves. severe drought and supply chain disruption are among the

main reasons for kenya's lifting of the g m o band, which was 1st and force back in 2012, but abandoned this year by the new government making kenya the 4th african nation. to do so, we talk to an expert in the field who says that not everyone is happy about the government's decision. yeah, i tell you really feel disappointed. the italy caught us or said because this was not expected when it comes to genetic modification. there some other dicks touch the experts who claim that these things as if they don't really tell us something else may type in some way that we may not know. and that's it. that is why we are really against the introduction. we're allowing of this year more music, so they make it look like may's is the only middle that we need. so that the dick advantage of that and then bring in the gym. but we have other 4 fifths here, which we have been using, and they're very productive. they're very actually nutritious. and that is what we thought it could have been done. they needed to have festival, maybe promoted the fist that we have in here,

and may be sought for my guests who also have some markets around here. uganda who is only by here. they don't have gym or meat, but they always have supp. lastly, cancer plate or us does, i now can give us miss that is a joke, gym free, but then unfortunately they went ahead to allowed their gym to come in when they didn't actually try to find out or, or these alternatives will just try to see what would be good for us before they went to that extent the head of the palestinian mission and the u. k. 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 cleared all these international conventions and rules? it is exactly because when accountability is needed, we enforce it on countries that invades occupy annex the what is on the variable for you. and illegal settlements, which is a war crime. otherwise the duplicity and the double to stun does we are seeing in

comparison to ukraine, is striking in office. meanwhile, israel has demolished an elementary school in the west bank that was recently established for the local palestinian community. according to as early authorities, the school was destroyed due to security reasons, as it was built illegally and a special military zone, creating as a training ground for israeli soldiers. the palestinian ministry of education, call the demolition a heinous crime. within years primary school for palestinian children located at least 4 kilometers away, un experts have repeatedly accused israel of human rights violations in the occupied west bank and gaza. televi, however, claims that the state party to an ongoing military conflict. the issue of national security is a higher priority than respect for human rights. a gaza base political science professor told us that israel's actions are under the protection of the us,

which prefers to focus on targeting russia over the conflict. and ukraine. well, has been demolishing palestinian homes, confiscating palestinian land and also killing palestinian school children more than 200000 years. have been killed by israel from the beginning of this year. 2022 . and unfortunately 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 understanding is no longer acceptable in our world. i think it's about time that the u. s. and western europe hold israel accountable,

and do not treat the thomaston eons and in this 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 not putting enough threshold to put an end to its occupation. and it's encroachment of palestinian and palestinian and international have here tuning in from the us. and this one's for you. the u. s. department of agriculture says the conflict in ukraine is the reason why americans are paying more for their thanksgiving dinners. the price of a large, fresh turkey will cost just $0.02 more per pound than last year, and

a large frozen turkey will cost $0.09 more per pound than last year. with the ongoing highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak, rushes war on ukraine and drought across the united states pushing up the price of thanksgiving, staples. according to 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 hike. however, costs were surging, even before the war a rapid back in february, with inflation beginning to rise almost immediately after biden took office a year earlier. many americans are unhappy with the unpleasant thanksgiving surprise. while one farm owner said she was embarrassed to tell people the latest turkey prices have a very good picture. now i'm thinking maybe it's not enough. i was 10 years ago. i tell people some people retire very early, said, you know what, what's me? inflation tried to turn,

he said very high. i don't know how much because my daughter bought it has a long time ago. but they're high. well, the prices, i even the plot with the prices of the turkeys and i'm a cold. 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 pay that. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates was the right back here at the top of the hour with ah

ah, ah another exhaustive story with while we are, which are ours we make, you know, i'm not let you to really care about me if you care about to play. i wish somebody could just tell me black her hair off lately, lynching, beating poverty, why supremacy is so disgusting? campbell, the people in mississippi voted on a flyer,

and 65 percent of the people voted to keep the car and fly. our purpose is to, to play in the good name and the confederates held because of these monuments that you see everywhere are not, can, they're not monuments to the confederate government. they're monuments to the, to the soldiers, to the data. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything. oh, a hello and welcome to cross back. we're all things considered. i'm peter labelle at the recent g. 20 meeting in bali, the west. it all, it could.
