i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk with moscow strongly condemns that decision by the g 7 and the you to impose that price gap on russian oil exports well below the current market rate software. earlier, a threatening that it won't comply us republicans goal for a thorough investigation into claims that president biden song humphrey been involved in corruption and ukraine. it comes that made renewed allegations about the social network. twitter previously tried to suppress information regarding the i canadian opposition party goals for a diplomatic boy called of indian g 20 leadership. over a ledge. minority rights violations seemingly turning

a blind eye to their country. jo, documented mistreatment of indigenous people with around the clock across the world. this is our t good to have your company today. my name's you know, me moscow how strongly couldn't damn that collective west decision to impose a price gap on russian on exports. the g 7 and the you have agreed to limit the price of russian supplies of the commodity at $60.00 per bar. lots around $20.00 lower than the current market rate. the measure is part of sweeping sanctions against russia over the ukraine conflict. we deliver on the commitment of g 7 leaders to prevent russia from profiting from its war of aggression against ukraine, to support stability and global energy markets and to minimize negative economic spill overs of russia's war of aggression,

especially on low and middle income countries who have felt the impacts of putin's war disproportionately washington strategists hiding behind plausible goals of supporting the energy security of developing countries diligently conceal the fact that the current and balances at energy sites are the result of their own rash, actions. with a tenacity worthy of better application. the collective west is trying to solve the problems it has created from scratch. oh, russia has repeatedly said it won't supply oil of prices below the regular market value. if it contradicts the country's national interest, moscow's also condemn western attempts to manipulate the commodity markets. r t contribute are rachel marston offers her thoughts on the issue. so the european union has finally decided i $60.00 barrel ceiling for russian oil. now i guess european commission president and de facto, i'm elected queen of europe. ursula vander line can rag about how europe is united for ukraine, together with our partners. we stand united and firm in our opposition to rush us,

atrocious war. yeah, well that's her didn't take very long. wagner line also tweeted that the price, capital quote, help us stabilize global energy prices, benefiting emerging economies around the world. sure. or a could spike prices in deregulating, everybody's economy. and our particularity of benefits europe, that really is having a hard time paying the energy bills. now that say, cut itself off, g, russian gas, but not sure what planet she was schooled on in market economics. but for me, us treasury secretary steve minucci and certainly doesn't agree with the idea of a price cap when he called it unfeasible last month. and quote, the most ridiculous idea i've ever heard look 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. the big concern here among american officials who wanted a higher cap is a spike in oil prices and

a deregulation of the global market. it's almost like there is pressure for the you to ram something through before the weekend to avoid the embarrassing optics of getting to monday the day the price cap is supposed to be implemented. december 5th, and not actually having agreement in place behind the scenes. there's a lot of talking to you about how much this is already worth, since rushing truth has already been selling for less than the proposed cap. and this move also introduces another risk factor. that is, russia's position is that they simply won't sell to any countries implementing the ceiling. but white house national security spokesman john kirby welcomed the news. a prost carpool helped limit mister put his ability to profiteer off the oil market so that he can continue to fund a war machine that continues to kill innocent ukrainians. so we welcome the progress of our e e partners are making on this. the whole idea is to reduce rushes revenue so that

vladimir putin can't spend it in ukraine or, you know, fulfill his amazon wishlist or maybe finishes christmas shopping. what kirby didn't say is that the us treasury department has already granted exemptions to american companies transporting russian oil, even if they're transporting it to some landlocked european countries. as long as they abide by the priced out. so much for europe cutting off russian oil revenues. here's what the estonian prime minister cry, a callous things is happening with the price gal. every dollar counts every dollars that was negotiated down, mince an estimated $2000000000.00, less income for russia. the initial proposal was to set the price of $65.00. i think poppins who agreed to come down to $6.00 to $1.00. this man's $10000000000.00 less for russia to finance of genocidal val against ukrainians. but europe has also

been importing russian fuel transferred to the tankers of other countries off shore right before they offloaded into europe. and they're also buying it from countries like china and india that have been bingeing on russian oil. and then, you know, selling it to europe and elsewhere. also, since this price have only affects russian oil, transported by c, hungary, pipeline oil from russia has received an exemption to the cap. and the country's foreign minister said just a few days ago that that's the case so, well, harry also got an e u exemption to import russian crude via maritime transport until the end of 2024 . so that gives you an idea of how united the you really is on all of this. and by the way, japan has already reportedly been given a green light by the us to keep importing russian oil from their joint project with moscow. one thing's for sure, though, the so called defenders of the free market are pretty quick to throw out even their

most cherished values and principles. if it means taking another while swaying at russian president vladimir putin, even though they're batting average so far, isn't very good. if they were hitting home runs, they probably wouldn't be talking already about a 9th ram the sanctions. new details are emerging in the hunter bog laptop scandal. twitter is new owner, ellen, moscow's bach claims that the platform of previous management took crow to extraordinary steps to central revelations about the u. s. president's controversal song. the allegations were posted by a prominent american journalist. twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be unsafe. they even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases. for example, child pornography. well, it was hours ago that alon musk said he had bomb shell information about the

suppression of the hunter bind laptops story. he teased the online community with that. and later he didn't meet his own deadline. and he continued saying that information was coming. that was being fact checked. and then finally we did hear from alon mosque and he shared an a long thread posted by the journalist matt t i. e bay, matt i. e bay brought us this information about what had gone on. some of the 1st tools were controlling speech, were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters. slowly over time, twitter staff and executives began to find more and more uses for these tools. outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well. first, a little that more often than constantly i 2020 requests from connected actors to delete tweets were routine. one executive would write to another more to review from the biden team. the reply would come back, handled. now in addition to that,

mat bay has shared a screen shot that seems to indicate that the biden's team wanted the 100 by laptop to be suppressed. now a lot was promoting this work by mat i. e bay and providing that information fits the pattern landmark has been raising the issue of the need for transparency about polluters, operations, and a frank discussion about the role of information and access information and social media companies in political discourse. in the united states, there is an ongoing outrage about how the scandal surrounding 100 biden's laptop was suppressed. now you asked me for media assisted. it was simply russian just information and now confirming confirming that it was actually true. there's been ongoing scandal and outrage about this. now alon was taking his role and twitter seems to be moving in the step of providing more transparency about how these decisions are made. giving voice to those who feel that the big tech companies and

monopolies that they're essentially engaging in partisan political activism for certain sections of the establishment. so this is a pretty big revelation from a lot going to indicate that under previous management, twitter seems to have been playing a political role. we will see what alternately as the fall out of these new revelations. kill my friend. well, we heard from big tech expert and ortho, michael wrecked involved who said twitter as long been used as a political tool. he believes by the democratic party are basically 3 issues involved here. the 1st issue is that twitter is been revealed and we knew this, but it's really official now has been operating as a democratic party, oregon, essentially with democratic operatives running the company before ilan master over and may be a little bit now as well. the 2nd issue is that we have the question of government

officials directing twitter to squelch particular speech, which is a 1st amendment violation. you'll hear a lot of people say, well, this is not 1st of amendment violation because of the private platform. well, government intervention to square speech is a 1st amendment and violation. and the 3rd issue is that we have election interference here. and it's apparent that we do, and that would be in in time donation on the part of twitter to the democratic party without any recognition or acknowledgment which is against the law. the hunter biden, the laptops can go broke shortly before the 2020 us presidential election. and democrats clamored to bury the story. content on the computer raise concerns about the biden family, potentially being involved in corruption in ukraine. now that republicans have gained more power in congress. they're pushing for

a thorough investigation live that soon the american people will get answers about the claims we're learning in real time, how twitter colluded to silence the truth about hunter biden's laptop. just days before the 2020 presidential election, 32 days, the new house republican majority will get answers for the american people and the accountability they deserve. remember that the ultimate authority for pardoning lies with the president, so the president can, with a swift opin, can even pardon the hunter biden of all the crimes that he committed. the only issue with that is that he's complicit in that behavior, but that's not something that the, that this app or this group of people, this, this radical leftist environment that it does include, you know, social media giants and, and some of the, the, the wealthy oligarchy, or to the doctor, you know, cooper doctor sees that exists in our country. but when we talk about the g o p, the g o p has an enormous amount of latitude when it comes to investigations. and

so they're gonna dig in and get to the bottom of the gym. jordan of ohio has committed to get to the bottom of it was already uncovered. quite a bit of, of evidence of the crimes that 100 biden is committed. but once they get to the through the investigation, then they will present that publicly to the american people. ok, another story to bring you to day israel on that closest ally the united states sampling conducting joint military drills, simulating attacks on around israel has justified the exercises in recent months by describing iran as a threat to its national security. emit escalating tensions in the region. some of the drills reportedly simulated strikes on iranian nucular facilities to run has long been tamed out. it's atomic program is peaceful for energy purposes and has rejected is really claim started seeking to build a nuclear wall. well, to discuss this on more besides, we welcome into the studio food, is that

a professor of political communication at the university of to run you're most welcome. good to have you here. thank you enough. first issue, israel and the u. s. have been some living attacks on a run. does this go beyond more games? what's the potential for an actual conflict between the nation? you know, you all this have to be careful with this. it is because they engage in illegal wars. they have done it throughout the history. they have been attacking the thing and civilians and have been affecting their neighbors for many decades. so you always have to take this type of threats and seriously, the good news is that they have been threatening to attack. you don't for many, many years and the reason they haven't done it is because the cost is so high, it is capable of defending itself. what they're doing is against international law artisan to section 4 of the un charter. it talks about the use of force,

the fact that the use of force should not be exercised unless you have a un security council resolution. but it says threats or use of force. so threatening other countries is also an eagle under the un charter. so whenever this really isn't medically threatened to attack your unmet attorney, you know, they have this semi knology on options on the table. meaning that they may use force against that actually, why they think international law. but i don't think anybody in there on with the lose asleep because they're used to this type of threats and that you on is able to defend itself. what israel is saying, it's justified these drills by saying iran poses a threat to national security, not the 1st time we've heard that either. but rhetoric does appear to be ramping up quite considerably. high. valid though is not claimed by israel, you know, is right. this is the only country in the middle east that has nuclear weapons. iran has been asking for

a nuclear free zone in the middle east for many decades. and it's, it's really is, and the americans that are opposing that agreement because it has nuclear weapons and is already used to claim the victim the aggressive country, the rogue. see. but they continue to engage in this type of activities. i encourage you to look at the international report on history. it's called a party the see the engage in human rights violations inside occupied services. they attack the neighbors, the threats and other countries. it's a law committee that's taken over those and you have the thing of the palestine, when palestine becomes feed, and a lot of these things with goldman. how eager woods, the us be, to support israel in a potential conflict with around you know,

i think the americans realize the cost of attacking and americans on $1.00 or 2 and response. so if it is decide to attack, i think americans will not officially engage in this type of behaviors. it's against international law. it's against the interest of the united states to support this in this type of manner. and that this is one of the reasons it's not going to be easy to attack us because without the american support, israelis may have the 1st name is sort of war against the run. but finishing the war against it on would not be on the time table. it would be a decision by iran, and has of a $100000.00 missiles in southern lebanon. and they run in the there's have said repeatedly that if americans is attacking and they will attack to live and he fought in this month. so the cost of war is quite high. and the hope is that

is that americans realize this fact and refrain from broke behavior. can i just brief touch him? what you mentioned before israel condemning iran's nuclear program, you went through that israel is the only nation in the region that has been a nuclear program that's aimed at weaponry. it has nuclear weapons. so why, why does israel focus so much? is it, is it, do you think a way to take focus away from, from them or are they genuinely concern that a run is seeking to develop a weapon? you know, because of the human rights violations of israel, inside the occupied territories and outside putting something else underneath and sort of keeping at that very fact of the exist parts. i did not see if i tell it to is is something that is always interested. so they're interested in chaos,

they're interested in causing the difficulties in the neighborhood. and so people pay attention to other things instead of the human rights of israelis and is a convenient target given the fact that iran and the rest have difficulties and other issues and the listen governments generally oppose data on in government because it was the 979 level lucian, that the pose a us back regime in the on that those difficulties. the last for the as is some excuse for this is to basically continue that type of part. this is against you mentioned the western stuffs on a run. ever more sanctions continually against the country. what do you think would make western powers remove those restrictions?

you know, i don't think the sanctions will go away. i think as long as you have a government in on that following and independent foreign policy as long as the run and government doesn't take dictates from washington, these type of fishes will continue moscow talking to we are seeing a similar situation with regard to the russian government, if russia wanted to basically follow its own national interest not to listen to the demands of the best, especially the united states. they would have have different relationship with russia. but the russia taking in a stand in opposing us, germany, in this part of the world upsets the other side. so they engage in anti russia behavior and propaganda. you know, we have a difficult time reaching r c into her because they have, it's, this wasn't the case a few months ago. have blocked all ways of reaching archie because they don't

want to, for people to hear some alternative perspective or a different voice. it's what the israelis and americans are doing. iran and russia is part of the hybrid washing in hybrid warfare. the engage in propaganda being engage in sanction sanctions will continue as long as the government that is residing in the country is not following us orders. and so the different tactics that they use, the good news is, is that both the government and russian governments know these facts and they planned this month according. but even going beyond the next step beyond the sanctions is that is a term regime change. that is what washington has been seeking publicly as well. top officials have said that and we know that a runs neighbor ariah knows a lot about that. i've got this down as well. not very far away. what,

why do you think the western community or the global community at large isn't more concern? and when top us officials start seeing things like that after what happened before, you know, have been trying to change the government that we've done since $979.00 since the prove less and shaw was deposed by the people of iraq. so this idea is also that the people use that you know, the united states government is a government in decline. the u. s. power is declining internationally. and one reason that you can present and why that is the case is the case of you done because they have been trying to throw that on in government for the last 40 years . and they have failed every year. every time they have tried to do that, why others countries are not responding the diplomatic sort of

difficulties or some governments that oppose this type of behaviors? you know, the more independent governments generally oppose this type of behavior because they realize that if united states is successful against the iran, then the next government may be their own government. and then the general public opposes this type of aggression from the united states. so when you look at even the countries that the government is following us or this, the general public opposes american has them can i touched another issue as well just to get your thoughts and food. the e u, the g 7, including the u. s. have agreed to impose a price comp and russian oil exports going around $20.00 below around current levels. high. will this impact the big global market people this winter and perhaps next, which, you know, people in europe, us not going to have

a nice mentors. it's going to be very cold. the difficulty is that the united states is causing for russia is actually hurting your opinions. and the problem with the united states is that they don't care about the people that it's the europeans, or even the american people obviously don't care about the russian people. you know, in international markets, the price of oil is set to market devices and supply and demand, not some dictates from some european country. so the aim of putting that price cap as they have said, is to put pressure on the russian economy. and, but i think they, with faith, i don't think this a gimmick will work. it shows that the previous efforts of not allowing russian or to be sold has not worked. that's why they're using this new measure. okay. and the idea is basically to prevent russia to have an independent stand in international,

and i don't think there will be success. okay, we'll see how this one develops. what has been great talking to thank you for coming into this to dr. many you're speaking to you and internationally. it's good to see you in person sitting here who it is that a professor of political communication at the university of to room not just of india soon. the g twenty's presidency, the major opposition party in canada. call for a diplomatic boy called of india's leadership in the block. over a ledge, human rights violations. new democrats are calling on the government to strongly condemn india's discriminatory anti minority laws. it's threats of the ethnic, cleansing, the persecution of minorities. and the arrests of journalists and human rights activists in canada should reject any g 20 activities plant in kashmir and refuse to attend these activities while the human rights abuses continue. well, canada has been heavily criticized in recent years and allegations of its own human

rights abuses. last year, amnesty international issued a rapport exposing some of the most atrocious issues. that's st. louis the discovery between at may and december last year of the remains of more than $1300.00 indigenous children buried at several former schools for indoctrinating native americans into european culture. a commission concluded that at least 4100 students died while attending those schools. many due to miss treatment or neglect, will indigenous people have been forced to live on reservations with underdeveloped infrastructure on poorer water supplies. there have been concerns of indigenous women and children facing disproportionately higher levels of violence too. there's also a reported lack of health care facilities and emergency services in those areas. and indian former senior diplomat saith it's normal for western countries to meddle with other countries relations. without tolerating interference in their own domestic affairs. canada is creating problems with not only i've spoken with many

other countries, including russia. do you think it is perfectly normal for them? we interfere in the internal relations about the other countries, internal matters of other countries, but will not tolerate any interference. and then in this is zack, a double status that we see for many, many countries and the height behind the so called values of democracy and freedom of expression. but this doesn't, doesn't, this doesn't apply when it comes to what they decide should meet the normal freedom of expression. now the thing is that they are used to this kind of thing because partly because it is part of the western world, just protected bottom, nato. it hasn't got a strong relationship with united states, and therefore the thing they can do with these things with unity because there will be no price to be. and this has been true now for so many, so many decades. but the world is changing. the world is changing,

it follow shifting, for the rest of them have the same kind of dominance over international affairs as they had in the past. and not be billed more and more. see the double standard than the hypocrisy of these countries. and therefore in time in time, there will be a blowback, and they will be a price to be for this. moscow has kicked off a festival of indian cinema with several other major russian cities set to show the films with in the coming days as well. our t correspondence so fear, nunez attended the grand opening, where she got a chance to speak with some of the stars. the festival is presented by the indian films company alongside the indian cultural and national center sita, with the support of the russian ministry of culture and the indian embassy in russia. the organizers have also preferred the special entertainment program that will include russia's most famous contemporary dance to do a thought as valet performing for the soundtrack from the movie. as part of the

opening ceremony, the opening film is cold bush, but the rice. it was the more successful indian film of 2021. and after creating waves and it is holding a celebrity field premier here in moscow. ahead of us grant released in russian theaters on december 8. yes. invited to the screening. we'll get a chance to hear from the authors and the leading actors who came to russia to personal represent the film. i think that so much of the brotherhood and the system for between these 2 countries are so strong is because i thing, as human beings, we have all sort of emotions at the same time. the not only happy or only say only angry, there's a mixture of all the emotions and be a constant be body to the emotions. and i think that's one thing we import in between. i think that's one thing um which is the same in between these 2 countries falsely, we'd like to start with having more russian ac doesn't influence you like

a sheet, a lot of influence and so, and russia so that we can have other, you know, many russian actors acting in films at the same time when russian teams also start to shoot, we'd like to watch, you know, we would invite them to shoot in india and also casting to an actor. so that could be a nice cross along the cultural affair between india and russia, dates back to the cold war, when hundreds of indian films became available across the soviet union as an alternative to western city. and today it would be pretty difficult to find the russian born in the u. ceasar, or even in the early ninety's who hasn't had some type of experience with indian movies. sophia, just about to get the popcorn. i thought, well former c i agent turned our t host, john carrie, aka. he's back on our screens again and moments, but another that's sort of the whistle blowers always on inciteful watch out it's mm.
