a little you school clothes, i don't know who you're going to know for the don't know that you just to do with you used to clean it also come with the 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 says there is no agreement with fellow members on a russian energy price cap, which under my europe energy security staff, as some members state threatened to veto restrictions on russian oil imports. and the conflict between the democratic republic of the congo and rebel groups may end as east african nations agree to mediate their rebels withdrawal from occupied

areas and then military support. the most important thing for us is that we want a piece that to that are children who remain in the east of the country. our mothers, fathers, children, older brothers, will live in peace. we need help with mosque out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the hour. welcome to the program. we begin with the latest from the ukrainian conflict, moscow and yet have conducted another major prisoner swap with some 50 russian service met, released on thursday in exchange for captured ukrainian troops. russian soldiers have just landed in moscow for medical treatment and rehabilitation. our correspondent sophia noun yes, was at the scene. here's her report from the airport. according to the acting had

of done yet, people's republic genius bushland. ukraine received the same number of people, the majority of whom i personnel of the ukrainian armed forces. the release russian soldiers will be 1st taken to a military hospital in moscow for medical and psychological assessment before they can finally return to their homes. the russian defense ministry says that all this man were at risk of death while being held captive in ukraine. this is the 4th satch exchange this month, and the 2nd in just the past 2 days. the previous one brought 35 russian soldiers back to their country with another 45 from the russian logans people's republic. returning home just 2 weeks earlier. and in the beginning of november and major prisoner swap resulted in a 100 than 7 captured service men. 65 of them from de donates. and logan's people's republics being released moscow and keep on now in talks to exchange even more prisoners in the near future. meanwhile, in ukraine power outages have been reported across the country. presidents zalinski said that every region has serious problems with electricity supply and the capital

of tea 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's air strikes on ukrainian infrastructure. our response to weapons deliveries by western stays with the goal of this strike being to undermine the combat capabilities of the ukranian army. this comes as a number of western officials were court to condemn moscow for wednesday, strikes french president emanuel mac kron branded the attacks a quote, war crime which can not go unpunished. and u. s. secretary of state antony blankets said rushes. aim is to help you, craig. is to keep ukrainians cold and in the dark however. 6 retired us army, colonel douglas mcgregor says moscow is in fact degrading the ukrainian military, which itself stands accused of targeting residential areas and don bass and other

new russian territories. we keep saying should be 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 you said out to harm civilian. she said out to deprived 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 international hans good and crime and other places. i was the director of the joint operation center during the kosovo campaign. and we very rapidly ran out was in the 1st week and a half of let's say military targets in a purist sense. that was, we'd hit all the airfields, we hit barracks, these guys, things, it really wasn't much left over. and he was sloppy. remember, was really almost a 3rd world country in terms of development. he hadn't gotten very far as douglas

mcgregor just mentioned, nato unleashed as relentless bombing campaign against serbia in 1999. their 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. i guess just sovereign state about grade based geostrategic 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 american star 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, priests like black hole and the place from very spreading terry's drug drugs, trafficking the human trafficking and so on. their opinion 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 those e u countries remain divide it on whether the price gap on russian oil import should go ahead. hungry, foreign minister says that the energy price cap is a bad idea. today 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 e 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, bulgaria 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 hoyle 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, b, u 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 u. s. 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 about 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 e, 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 minutia 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 per cent 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 and 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 member 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 get 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

a 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 he continues right down this particular garden path to washington's own, ultimate economic benefit. banking in finance, professor richard warner says politicians, putting price caps on the energy market is a road to disaster for national economies. some say this price that they proposing as a cap is too high and some say it's 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 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 price is obviously the european

commission has been very much in the business of intervening for many years. but things have 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 lanky, 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 had been set by markets and then put into contracts. ah, the slowing rainbow flags in support of the l g. b t. community could be allowed and could tar during the ongoing world car after months of debate as well as recent incidents of l. g. b t. symbols being confiscated by authorities or ego. your or

not. for reports on the controversies which have meyer the world's biggest football festival, the fee for world cup has the reputation for bringing a sporting spectacle to the fans every 4 years. the one that's tough and carto is no exception. on the contrary, this year's event has already become a source of drama, both on and off the pitch. on day 3, already saudi arabia's team sitting in the modest 51st place in the global rankings, made headlines of to beating the world's top 3 argentina. and the devastation of the messy devotees could only be matched by their rivals, triumph, who seems we're excited to remove every barrier and every dual that could stand between the team and the trophy. oh, the me, i

think the even the saudi king took notice of the show when declaring the next day a national holiday. the tournament also quickly took a political turn to even before the ball was kicked for the 1st time. in fact, in the run up cutter had repeatedly warned that the stands are no place for activism. mainly addressing the advocates for l g. b t writes that alone caused a storm and the western media, while some european politicians profusely ignored the rules team. germany covered their mouth ahead of the match with japan in an act of protest as fee for band captains from wearing l g b t colored arm bands. the stunt didn't do anything for them on the field though. as the game turns into a major upset for the european favorites and other clothing items that drove the

spotlight away from sports was the scarf of the hungry and didn't see feel as noticed. it featured a map of so called greater hungry, which includes parts of modern ukraine and some other european countries safe to say those ations weren't exactly impressed by the land grab. the promotion of revisionist ideas in hungary does not contribute to the development of ukrainian hungarian relations and does not comply with the principles of european policy. a quick glance at historical maps in the viennese ministry of foreign affairs has confirmed initial suspicions, according to which tresley thanielle, the kingdom of hungary cease to exist or on 100 years ago. a political stunt came from team iran to they refused to sing their national anthem before getting thrash 6 to buy england. but i will call them to we have to accept that the conditions now country are not rights or people are not happy. we're here, but it does not mean that we should not be there weiss or we must not respect them

. and in general, the atmosphere at the world cup has been rather uncomfortable. fans from israel given an overwhelming public support for palestine in kata. i'm not if i, if you just mclean unofficially lately. oh, murphy slave. this way the city i leave it on for the scene of all is well, it is being less than a week and already the tournament has yielded a very rich harvest of scandal. both sports and politics wise. all to show this year's cup is going to be the one to remember. ah, peace could be on the horizon and the democratic republic of the congo as east african nations have agreed to help jointly fight the m. 23 rabble group in the

east of the country. that's off their talks and angle is capital. we got reaction from congo. these people on the latest news and their expectations on the cooperation between african states flew the most important thing is that we want peace between the d r. c and rolanda. rwandans have long lived in the territory of d r c. that is why we need peace, only peace and good mutual understanding. nobody does. it isn't. the most important thing for us is that we want peace, so that our children who remain in the east of the country, our mothers, fathers, children, older brothers, will live in peace. we need help. piece is expected to return to the my practical republican congo on friday. after enablement was reaching dead deal ensure, se, so fire ended the immediate withdrawal of the and $23.00 rebels in the elk trade areas. these comes after they called the lease president mer to we did the honda farming minister in a move to brink and did the recent station in the eastern v r. c. though it

a new stuff for going into mission force. rosamond, it would be to the foot in the city they needed to put in indiana se begin again, which is $962.00 leagues. is it only the most expensive mission in human history, but then fighting, doing good people being killed? you got lens gave as their opinion on the collective fight against m. 20 through rebels saying it's time to think about shared solutions to problems instead of focusing on single space. i personally, i believe in what we've quoted unity and togetherness integration as is stuff like that. now good is, is 5 began thinking about country individually. but now about thinking about your stuff because i hope you, you and you and i know that if there is a problem in conway,

africa is not that piece under free stuff. you guys know that piece. even uganda isn't that at least. yeah. when days giving a hoping hon to clone will cause people coming that they, you in, i mean taking the, it's like that you in a, me picking the goods of the people of congo. so you gotta coming up is like coma being gay, made by to uganda. so it's like giving, hoping hon staying on the african continent. multiple countries in the region are set to receive almost $600000000.00 from the you shall tackle the food crisis. the funds are dedicated to the most vulnerable states in africa, as well as the caribbean and pacific south africans we spoke to consider the you move to be a publicity spot. why he's dead for a while now. oh, for the previous time, did not come. i did do it for to uppercase, and now that to do health issues which roacha or you cream,

and that that is the one in the african continent. you who had african nations to support them if they were supposed to bring money all along, then the money was coming, and now they are increasing it. it means they're trying to buy the vote of the africans. african won't stay away from discipline to you. mid prison, i don't trust them because they are dripping for a ball. that's why god, most of most of both are dead replug season. dr. cook, for a month with do much. i don't, you could been thrown out and i don't see been like africans have reasons to be concerned. while millions on the continent struggle with food insecurity, the grain deal sign between russia, ukraine, turkey, and the un was aimed at helping those and greatest need. but of the millions of tons of grain exported from ukraine under the plan, only 15 percent made it to the continent does by western voices of concern on the

african hunger crisis. most grain ended up and develop stays part of the grain deal included, lifting a ban on crucial russian fertilizers to countries and need, which also didn't happen and exacerbated africa, hunger crisis. further, we spoke to the president of the socialist party of zambia, who says that the e u is capitalizing on the conflict in ukraine. also trying to get africa support we have had the problems lead the food security in africa into more subsequent countries for a long time. and this it would be a security has been caused by them in the me. yeah, wonder mind out if what's drugs from security, we have been a dumping ground window someplace is that they don't know what to do with their never ages. our food security o agriculture systems, they have undermined them all the time. if we were hungry before the ukraine,

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 ruptured 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. well, one farm owner said she was embarrassed to tell people the latest turkey prices. no, i haven't. very good. okay. i'm thinking maybe it's not enough. i was 10 years ago . i tell people some people want to retire very early to you know, what, what's the inflation the thrive, the charges are very high. i don't know how much because my daughter bought it how long time ago, but they're high for the prices. i even the plot with the prices of the turkeys and i'm with old,
