this is as of twins, nickels of going to skip. mm ah, are headline stories vis our moscow condemns us decision by the g 7 and e. you to impose that price cap on russian oil exports out well below current market britain . walker earlier warning that a quote comply with all publications of a shadow censorship scheme by previous twitter management. but the muslims of the hunter, by the laptops group seemingly just the typically i don't to coming up in the program. my canadian opposition party called for a diplomatic boy called of india's g 20 leadership over a ledge. minority rights violation seemingly turning a blind eye to their country zone, documented mistreatment of indigenous with

warner past 2 in the afternoon. here in moscow. my name's unit o'neill, and this is the news hour on rti or top story. moscow, i was condemned. the collective west decision to impose a price cap on russian oil exports. the g 7 on the e. you have agreed to limits the price of russian supplies of the commodity at $60.00 per barrel. no, that's her on $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 imbalances 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. russia has repeatedly stated, it won't supply all our prices below the market value if it contradicts the country's national interest. mosque was also last night at western attempts to manipulate the commodity markets are to contribute to rachel. marston offers her thoughts now on the heating up of the energy dispute. so the european union has finally decided on a $60.00 barrel ceiling for russian oil. now i guess european commission president and defacto, i'm elected queen of europe. ursula vander line can rag about how europe is united for ukraine. together without partners. we stand united and firm in our opposition to rush us, atrocious war. yeah, well that's your 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 it 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 it cut itself off of cheap russian gas, but not sure what planet she was schooled on in market economics. but for me, u. s. 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 crude 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 pros, carpool help limit, mister put his ability to profiteer of 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, revenues, so that vladimir putin can't spend it in ukraine or, you know, fulfill is 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 price have so much for europe cutting off russian oil revenues. here's what the estonian prime minister cry, a callous things is happening with a price gap. every dollar counts, every dollar 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 $60.00, this man's $10000000000.00 less for russia to finance a genocidal will 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 effects 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 u. s. 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 wild swing 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. ah, new details are emerging in the hunter abiding lock top scandal, twitters new owner, ellen, moscow's confirmed, claims that the platforms previous management went out of their way quite considerably to censure the revelations about the u. s. president's on the allegations were brought to light by a prominent american journalist. twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posty 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, ellen masking knows how to make a headline and he is already referring to this as the twitter files. now this is supposed to be you on giving the public a look into the inside decisions that were made within twitter,

especially over the last few years when it comes to some of their more controversial decisions regarding content, moderation. and what we're finding is that they were taking these tools that were used to target spam or violent content. and they were increasingly using them for political purposes. based on political figures, we're reaching out making certain demands and twitter was going right along with it . now we have a very lengthy recap of these files that was made by independent journalists, matt t i e e b. here's a portion of what he had to say. some of the 1st tools for controlling speech were designed to combat the likes of spam and financial fraudsters. slowly over time, twitter staffing executives began to find more and more uses for these tools. outsiders began petitioning the company to manipulate speech as well. first, a little, then more often than constantly by 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 this all came to

a head on october 4th of 2020. when of course twitter moved not just to sensor the release of the new york post story on hunter biden's abandoned laptop, but to actually block links to that story from being shared. whether it be posted on twitter or even indirect messages. so there have been a lot of questions as to what led up to that decision who made it. and of course, who exactly influenced it. now what we did learn from these files was that that decision was made at the highest levels of the company. however, it appears that then c, e o jack dorsey was not directly involved. here's what was said on that. the decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of c, e o. jack dorsey, with former head of legal policy and trust of a joy, again, playing a key role. an amazing, so blot of the twitter hunter biden laptop affair was how much was done without the knowledge of c e o jack dorsey and how long it took for the situation to get on. as

one ex employee put it even after dorsey jumped in. now there are also a number of cases where the bite and team did reach out directly, not just about certain accounts, but also about certain tweets that they wanted taken down. and the biggest take away from this isn't just that the bite and team was reaching out, is that the employees that twitter who were responding weren't giving them any push back and they were responding with terms like handled to just go along with what was being requested of them without questioning why these were taught government officials and figures and political figures who are reaching out and asking for content to be censored. what's notable is some of the reaction that we saw from employees within twitter that's mentioned in these files. you had employees going back and forth and really voicing their frustration, saying they felt like these decisions were just being freelance when it came to this very serious content moderation that was happening. and speaking critically of what twitter was doing and of the precedent that was being set by it when it comes

to those reactions. again, we're just really starting to see that pushback. but this is a bombshell story about what twitter was doing behind the scenes now being laid out by its brand new see of this tease it up almost perfectly for those republicans coming in to power, who have already been concerned about the moderation that they've seen of course we have to remember twitter previously took down the account of the sitting president donald trump. so you have republicans coming in with a vengeance here wanting to know why those decisions were made. and also wanting to make a name for themselves. and it comes to their response to this and take listen to some of the reaction that we've heard from them so far. were 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. so this is just getting started. you want to mask is already promising an episode to of the twitter files,

so we'll likely be right back here talking about this as those releases continue. and then r t also spoke to jolts man, host all the concert, a daily podcast, and michael rectinwald's, author of google archipelago, the digital google like the simulation of freedom both suggest the biden laptop story demonstrates deep ties between social networks in the u. s. on the political establishment, think that it's not just happening on twitter, happens on facebook and instagram, and all the social platforms. what i find more disturbing is that they just seem to go to the same gas lighting the american people walk past, didn't say nothing to see here. and then they repeatedly lie 1st, they have not told the truth to the people about anything in the 100 biden story. the laptops for by itself is one piece of evidence. but if you look at tony bob lensky and the other people that came forward, that said that joe biden was actively involved in these, these, the associations overseas. and to see some of the things the laws that were broken

that were put any american in handcuffs within minutes at to see him living in a $30000000.00 mansion have secret service all round him. i think it just flies in the face of, of what america is supposed to be about. it's just a, it's become a lawless society and the, the white house and the, the, the crooked infrastructure they put around it. frankly just has to go. headline. yeah, there are basically 3 issues involved here. the 1st issues, the twitter is been revealed and we, we knew this, but it's really official now, has been operating as a democratic party organ, essentially with democratic operatives running the company. ah, before ellen must took over and a maybe a little bit now as well. now 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 that's not a 1st amendment violation because it's a private platform. well, government intervention to squelch speech is a 1st amendment violation. and the 3rd issue is to we have election interference here. and it's apparent that we do, and that would be in, in kind donation on the part of twitter to the democratic party without any recognition or acknowledgement which is against the law. now just as india assumed the g 20 presidency this week, a major opposition party in canada, coal for a diplomatic boy called of new daily's leadership in the block over a legit human rights violations. new democrats are calling on the government to strongly condemn india's discriminatory anti minority laws. it's threats of ethnic cleansing, the persecution of minorities. and the arrests of journalists and human rights

activists in canada should reject any d. 20 activities plant in kashmir and refuse to attend these activities while the human rights abuses continue. while it should be pointed out, the account of itself has been heavily criticized in recent years over revelations of human rights abuses in 2021. on this international issued a report exposing some horrendous findings that was the discovery of the remains of more than 1300 indigenous children buried over many decades at several former schools which were used to indoctrinate native americans into european culture. a commission concluded that over 4000 students died while attending those institutions. many due to this treatment or neglect. many indigenous people live on reservations with under developed infrastructure and poorer water supplies . there have been concerns that 1st nations, women and children face disproportionately higher levels of violence to i'm.

there's also reported lack of health care facilities and emergency services in those areas. but a former indian senior diplomat say it's normal for western countries to meddle with other countries relations, but then refuse to tolerate interference in their own domestic affairs. canada is creating problems with not only i've spoken with many other countries, including the russia. do you think it is perfectly normal for them? we interfere in the internal relations a lot of other countries internally matter that with other countries but will not tolerate any interference. and then in this is zach double status that we see for many, many countries. and they hide 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 they're just part of the western world, protected bottom, nato. it hasn't got a strong relationship with united states. and therefore, the thing they can do all these things with impunity because there will be no price to wait. 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 the ad 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, they'll be a blowback, and they will be a price to be for this new wave of protest as in golf, their french capital. this time doctors on the lob workers have gone on strike in a bit to pressure the government into increasing its funding of the health care sector. hundreds of doctors protested in front of the health ministry demanding

a larger up front fee for consultations. it's the 1st time in 7 years that medical lab, unless they've gone on strike to they've taken out the state plan to reduce funding for their departments to the chin of hundreds of thousands of euro in law. british prime minister wishes to knock say the u. k. a said to give police more power to cracked on, on, on authorized protests. for this afternoon i sat down with all the police chiefs to make it clear that they have my full support in acting decisively to clamp down on illegal protests. it is completely unacceptable. the ordinary members of the public are having their lives disrupted by a selfish minority without comes as western politicians helping. kane to support anti government protests elsewhere in the world. frances president mc chrome has branded protests, inner run a revolution candidate as prime minister has had, everyone in china should be allowed to protest and express themselves some that

canadians were closely watching the demonstrations against beijing's 0 coven policy . the british pm, meanwhile, has also expressed support for chinese protestors, but received online backlash over his backing of a domestic cracked on, on this same type of rallies in the u. k. this is a mighty display of blatant hypocrisy. keep going, sir. 2 days ago, he was defending the right of chinese people to protest and warning the government against repression. today he says british protestors should feel the full force of the law. interesting justin trudeau and re, she's to not decide which protests are legal and illegal for canada, u. k. and the world want to show you this as well. one particular social media you sir, responded to sue next statement with a map of the world showing how the west and its leaders have viewed police brutality against protesters. what you can see in red there at that's the countries which represent good protests for the u. k. in blue though,

those are the ones that should be suppressed. my colleague donal quarter earlier spoke to an international law specialist who said that he worked to secure the blocks collective interest, not nationally in that then it's we're seeing now more and more the system contracting itself under its internal contradiction. and in so doing now, it has to resort to more force because the money is lacking, the funds are drawing the i met over in over the confuses of finances and the menu macro on that. so let's say it outright, these are some one was been placed, essentially buys prod, national interest. and his job is to make sure that the on the country goes on the lean regime. we've seen no other european level mechanism put in place, such as

a euro gender for which is a collective barbara 8th on dom marie services of 8 and new countries. they can be deployed at any woman's notice to basically a welsh, any kind of up i'll be gone. i'll go, you know, for the disturbances and then not from the country where the put the stick place. so it's all designed to make sure that there's no sense of kinship between the police forces and the pl testers. and how does the western media play into this sort of idea of western governance that you were just explaining? well, they've been accompanying the concept for the last 30 years now. so they are bought in fossil while deanthony edifice, the n g o complex. we've seen it in the human italian, a war for, you know, new market access to new market, new natural resources. we weaponized the human white regime using those and yos that are heavy finance, either by western or security agencies and all by already dogs from western audi galks that work. and basically you just kind of private eyes, you know,

a public policy, but you present it under this kind of being agenda as food i say, yes. human rights agenda. and so that you know that the media can then take the concept and sell it to the public, as you know, no, it's perfectly normal. what we're doing. and sometimes you have to, you know, you have to step up to the plate and, and, and force and ensure that our values i put out of promoted for the world. ok, something else to tell you about today, frances liter manual micron has pledged the whole russia accountable for quote, widely documented atrocities on war crimes in ukraine, not according to a joint statement following a meeting of the u. s. and french presidents a day earlier. paris officially backed up proposal to create a special tribunal to try russia for so called crimes of aggression. while continuing to support the international criminal court, we are proposing to set up

a specialized court, backed by the united nations to investigate and prosecute rush us crime of aggression. it should be noted the decision clashes with previous statements made within the united nations. a report by the un human rights council says ukrainian forces have violated international law with abuses amid the conflicts including the torturing of captured russian soldiers. however, the european commission is seeking a tribunal to probe only russia. moscow slammed that is being politically motivated . were outraged by the french ministry for europe and foreign affairs statement regarding the plans to create a special tribunal for the crimes of russia's aggression. in addition to their attempts to involve the international criminal court, the western countries have decided to push forward the idea of creating another, openly politicized judicial body, which in fact has absolutely nothing to do with justice of the numerous teams of

lawyers and crime experts of france is sending to ukraine, at least someone should look into the widely covered atrocities committed by the ukranian nationalists and visit russian territories that are subjected to the ukrainian forces artillery a missile fire. well, mister microns focus on russia comes as francis activities in africa continue to infuriate locals. it's been more than 60 years since former french colonies on the continent gained independence if horace continues to intervene militarily their thoughts interventionism has been blamed for this spread of islamist violence on corruption in those regions. but we heard from an african political analyst who said french trips could be tried for their activities in many parts of the world by the same tribunal, that a manual mach wrong, is striving to establish. for russia. i need god to bless. talking about time, do you know any not only right yet?

and it was that every by didn't know the crimes of brown. why is it that is my thought, giving people that not to help in any way to do that highly, to clean up there can be pride in this and that i do know that proud and my fabulous behind on you need to get enough to try and think about what is happening in the new in the military? not i haven't been in the board as far as yeah, right. yeah, i have no options. but alex under aplus is a port for the people. not a strong holfram piri lists, not the call coming from greek protesters,

demonstrating against military supplies being sent to ukraine. from the city. the u . s. may still have been using the port as a hub to forward weapons to key at the latest protest took place near a railway, crowded with american tanks and armored vehicles ready to be delivered mac and o. okay. finally, this ours is december, but forget about christmas movies for a moment. because moscow has kicked off a festival of indian cinema with several other major russian cities set to show the films within the coming days as well or t correspondence. if you nunez attended the grand opening, where she got a chance to speak with some of the big screen stores, 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 prepared the special entertainment program that

will include rash as 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 feel prim year here in moscow. ahead of us grant release 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 think 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 ready to, to emotions. and i think that's one thing ready in fort in between. i think that's one thing um which is the same in between these 2 countries. bosky,

we would like to start with having more russian ac doesn't influence. we like a sheet, a lot of influence, also into asha so that we can have all that i, you know, many russian actors acting in, in films at the same time. when rushing teams also start to shoot. we'd like to watch sure, you know, we would invite them to shoot in india and also casting them actors. so it could be a nice cross over 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 to have of experience with indian movies. yeah, good luck to all involved. there are no former agent turned r t host children. cardiac of is back on our screens again and moments with another episode. all the whistleblower is always an insightful watch and it is for

l look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about, on personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot less protective own existence with

oh, nice to come to russian state. little never, i've side as i'm phoning most 19 with the group in the 55 with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on to russia for date and c r t spoke neck given our video agency, roughly all band on youtube and pinterest and with mm.
