ugandans gave us the opinion on the collect to fight against them. french t rebels and his times think about shed solutions to common problems. personally, i believe in what we call unity and to get a new integration as this stuff right now is, is far bigger than think about our country individually. but now about thinking about you guys a whole you and you and i know that if there is a problem in conway, separate guys note that be under 3 separate guys. not that be even. you guys know that wendy's giving a helping hand to cornwall court. people coming in, i mean taking the if like you, me taking the goods of the people congress. so you're going to coming up with lake called being a neighbor to uganda. so it's like giving you hoping hand in sports use, the captain of the belgian football team has condemned the german seems protest

against the bottle l g b p r. bunch. calling on them to focus on football. no politics, they would have done better not to do it. and when we are here to play football, i am not here to send a political message. people are better placed for that. we want to be focused on football ortiz. it goes down, reports on the controversies that's admired, the world's biggest football events. the fee for world cup has a reputation for bringing a sporting spectacle to the fans every 4 years. the one that's tough and carter 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 after 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 duel 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. c writes that alone cause the storm and the western media. while some european politicians profusely ignored the

rules theme. 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 turned 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 is 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 around 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 global going into we have to accept that the conditions in our country are not right. our people are not happy. we are here, but it does not mean that we should not be their voice or we must not respect them . hurricane men did not evade controversy either. well, helen, anyone was we also could have asked just as english reporters did to care us why you are the head coach of the country that killed innocent people in afghanistan and iraq regarding discontent towards the queen's funeral costs in winter expenses . and in general, the atmosphere at the world cup has been rather uncomfortable. fans from israel, given an overwhelming public support for palestine and kata had met. he thought he gets mostly and unofficially in oh,

of his labors. recently the city i live every call from the see another modified salesman 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. while one notable absence from the tournaments is russia, but despite be missing from the pitch funds have still been showing their support. with serbian football funds express their solidarity with russia chanting and displaying the russian uncertain flags together. and this wasn't the only voice of russia. at this moment.

you can see footage of uruguayan funds, dancing and singing to russian patriotic songs. russia was banned from the participation in the 2022 world cops shortly after the start of the war ukraine. and moving on. now, multiple countries in the african region are set to receive almost $600000000.00 from the you to help tackle the field crisis. the funds are allocated to the most vulnerable states in africa, as well as the caribbean and the pacific south africans we spoke to consider that you may be more of a publicity stunt. why is it that for a while now or for the previous time, did not come? i did do it for 2 africans. and now that did you have issues with russia or you cream and that, that is the one in all of the african continent. you who had african nations to support them if they, they were supposed to bring money all along,

then the money was coming. and now the increase in it is me. they're trying to buy the vote. and her, of the africans, african was the only from this wasn't a, you may press and i don't trust them because they are dripping from all. that is why gone through most of most of the, both of the results that they came from offered that was on my laziness too much. i love to been through, and i don't see be like good africans have reasons to be concerned, while millions on the continent struggle with food insecurity, the grain deal, which was signed between russia, ukraine took here and the un was aimed at helping those in need. what are the millions of tons of grain exported from ukraine under the plan? only 15 percent initially made it to the compet, the continents. the numbers have risen over recent weeks. parts of the great deal included lifting a ban on crucial russian fertilizers. but logistics issues exacerbated africa's hunger crisis. we spoke to the president of the socialist party of zambia. he says

that you is capitalizing on the conflicts and ukraine. we had the problems with the food security in africa in you must have taken countries for a long time and this food insecurity has been caused by them in the me the, i wonder mind our efforts to have food security. we have been a dumping ground window someplace is that they don't know what to do with their vanilla aids, our food security, our agriculture systems, they have undermined them or the day if we were hungry before the ukraine, fresh and conflict, how can we know to be hungry during the conflict. yes. configuring the conflict. they benefit from that conflict. it do the conflict respected that they shouldn't use africa. they're trying to use africa to say q or they would, they would add to the you in general, him but i was ish, if we,

the russian people have never been like that. we didn't do the russian people, the russian people have been on our side when we're struggling against them for dependence. as the region seeks an urgent solution to the food crisis, some have turned said g m o crops control the have goods kenya over the government's decisions order 11 funds of genetically modified may feeds from south africa for next year's planting. season with one of the countries governors demanded the government review that decision g m, o seeds are much more resistant to pests with the crop also needing only 3 aside treatments before reaching maturity. instead of an average of 12. the government says it 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. spare droughts on supply chain disruption are among the main

reasons for kenya's. lifting of the g m o bond, which was 1st and 4th in 2012 was abundant this year by the new governments making . can you the 4th african nation to do so? we thought when experts in the field who says that not everyone is happy about that decision. yeah, actually really feel disappointed. the italy caught us or said because this was not expected when it comes to genetic modification. there some other dick's dutch, the experts who claim that distinct us, 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 gym. amazing. so they make it look like macy's, the only model that we need, so that the take 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 markets who also

have some markets around here. uganda who is only by here, they don't have gym or meat, but they always have supplies. the cancer plate or us does, i now can give us missed that is g g m free. but then unfortunately, they went ahead go allowed their gym to come in when they didn't actually try to find out or these alternatives will just try to see what would be good for us before they went to that extent. ah, now on to the 3 day breaks, gathering in st. petersburg which brings together business delegations from 50 countries to discuss investment initiatives within the block. when delegations from briggs member states are presenting their business ideas and rushes northern capital. the main session on friday, we'll focus on digital development, raising urban living standards and rural economic projects. earlier we spoke to the co founder and director of the indian russian. cultural society is as a bricks. corporation embrace is much more than just financial matters. lee, i would like to say the concept of bricks plus municipality for them. this is

a very great initiative. and a great idea, because everybody's working on different platform or agendas which is elected to governmental level or into the business facing the level bricks group, is not a by israel. it is a open group open platform which e to support and help such concrete. and when we talk about the new world order or the new people at work breaks and extremely countries please, a very important into this thing, russia, india, china, to get a place, a very important role for making a new, marty for that. and at the same time, all such countries like return t, g, d, iran, saudi arabia, they have shown their interest to join the big block because they understand that this is one platform which is not bias. it is like a neutral block. and then we will get equal opportunity to grow and develop our concrete and help allocate isn't also on the independent european commission may have to find other gas supplies. lots of threats agreed to

food. russian gas from joint procurement contracts, which worse that accounts for 15 percent of the blocks gas storage facilities next year. and so the countries remained divided still on whether the price cut on russian imports should go ahead. longer is, foreign minister says that the price cut 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, 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 it's 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 the 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 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 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 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. 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 below 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 price cap on russian oil with a g 7 and other major partners. we will not rest until ukraine has prevailed over put, and, and his unlawful and barbaric war. and washington is only too happy to cheer her on, as the e continues write down this particular garden path to washington's own ultimate economic benefit. moving on now the u. s. has sanctioned 3 iranian security officials for talking protests in the countries. kurdish majority areas of something that's around as justified citing national security concerns boats. it comes as washington denounced iran for attacking the territorial integrity of

neighboring iraq 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 iran to refrain from further threats and violence. iran says it targeted terrorist groups in iraqi kurdistan, accusing them of crossing the border to support domestic extremists seeking to secede from. to run with washington support us has expressed concerns about the military intervention of despite its own 2003 invasion of the country without the un mondays and direct isn't the only country which has felt the consequences of u. s. military involvement and an exclusive interview with archie, the russian presidential special envoy to syria, said us forces all the main destabilizing fights in the country. our sanctions only

exacerbates an already difficult monitoring situation. low the stay in the it is early but is away. we have constantly called and continue to call in the united states to withdraw its contingent. it has a destabilizing effect on the situation in southern syria, in the central regions was the presence of all groups are controlled by the united states. trained there is you for, says bertha activities against the syrian security forces local, this is the main de stabilizing factor in the country up a horizontal. we believe that if an agreement could be reached on the withdraw the americans from the base and the transfer of the syrian iraqi on the syrian jordanian borders under the control of syrian border guards. this would significantly affect the level of security in the region, helped to establish a peaceful life, develop socio economic programs, and wishes them to population will react positively.

this the of the 3rd unilateral sanctions are having a trudy devastating effect on the syrian economy. and on the lives of ordinary citizens, we are in favor of the complete lifting of these sanctions against syria. or this would greatly improve the humanitarian situation. ah, by at the law. unless they should have, if we see the efforts of the west to undermine the situation, to destabilize it. it is presented in a way that places the blame on the russian federation. we will try to counteract liza timeless. it was let us finally, as americans ruffled their holiday, the u. s. department of agriculture says that the conflicts in ukraine is the reason why they're paying more for thanksgiving. dennis, 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 influenza outbreak, rushes war on ukraine and drought across the united states pushing up the price of

thanksgiving, staples. according to officials, the conflicts has resulted in a critical supply of wheat, corn, barley, and other grain been depleted. joe biden early referred to the rising food prices as putin's price hike, but costs were surging even before the war. rob said in february, but inflation beginning to rise almost immediately after biding for coffee earlier . many americans aren't happy with the unpleasant thanksgiving surprise. a one far moaner said that she was embarrassed to tell people the latest turkey prices. i have a very good pension. now i'm thinking maybe it's not enough. 010 years ago. i tell people some people retire very early in your you know, what, what me inflation tried to turn. he said, very high. i don't know how much because my daughter bought it was a long time ago, but they're high prices. i even the plot with the price, is it with coal?

i'm in dallas to tell people that there's no way around it. well, a lot of people here, the price and even though their customers for many years, they say i can't say that. and so he's may not be the only ones receiving a pardon as of thanksgiving. this year. a lot most cars promised to extend a general amnesty for bond switzer. accounts after holding an online votes on the issue. we've got all the details on the story and much more on our websites, r t dot com is plenty, but the news, opinions and analysis on some of the world's biggest events was the headlines the mainstream media isn't telling you about the do stay tunes and thank you for watching ah, 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 as united much of the global. so it's native against the world. do we oh ah, i now have an e mail folder called k k. a firm to your organization as big as one of your response. a big main stand.
