[000:00:00;00] with are headline stories this saturday moscow condemned the decision by the g 7. i need you to impose a price cap on russian oil exports thats well below current market rates after earlier awarding that aid wont comply with also the young musket box off allegations of a shadow censure ship steam by the previous twitter mullins with the muslims of the hunter bite laptops group seemingly just the tip of the iceberg. i'm a canadian opposition party colon for a diplomatic boy called of india g. 20 leadership over alleged minority rights violations, seemingly turning a blind eye to their country. domed,

documented miss treatments of indigenous with hello and welcome to the news rap. i'm you know, neil, thanks for choosing r t for your global update. today. moscow has condemned the collective west decision to impose a price cap on russian oil exports. the g 7 and the e you have agreed to limit the price of russian supplies of the commodity. it's $60.00 per bar. lots run $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 oil up prices below market levels. if it contradicts the country's national interest. mosque was also last night at western attempts to manipulate the commodity markets. a big issue r t contributor rachel marson offers her thoughts though, 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 de facto i'm elected queen of europe. ursula vander line can brag 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 sure 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 and deregulating everybody's economy. and our particularity of benefits, europe, that really is having a hard time paying the energy bills. now that take of itself off cheap russian gas, but not sure what planet she was schooled on in market economics. but former 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 crude has already been selling for less than a 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 help limit. mr. put his ability to profiteer off the oral 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 price 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 go. 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 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 biden's laptop scandal, twitters new owner, ellen, moscow's confirmed claim stuff. the platforms, previous management went out of their way quite considerably to sensor the revelations about the u. s. president. so 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 a line 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 debbie. 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 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, 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

bite and team. the reply would come back handled. now this all came to a head on october 4th of 2021. 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 plot 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 at twitter who are responding weren't giving them any pushback. and they were responding with terms like, handled to just go along with what was being requested of them without questioning why these were top 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 at 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 up 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. now take a 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 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. rachel blevins, rti also spoke to jewels, met joe from the conservative daily podcast, and also michael rectinwald's, author of google archipelago. the digital grew like on the simulation of freedom both suggest the bio locked up 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. 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 negotiations 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 headlines. yeah, there are basically 3 issues involved here. the 1st issues, the twitter, it's been revealed and we, we knew this thought it's really official now, has been operating as a democratic party organ, essentially with democratic operatives running the company. ah, before elan must took over and it may be 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. ah, you'll hear a lot of people say, well this is 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 kind donation on the part of twitter, to the democratic party without any recognition acknowledgement which is against the law. right, does india assume the g 20 presidency this week and major opposition? party encounter death coal for a diplomatic boy called of new daily's leadership in the block over a legit human rights violations you democratic 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 itself has been heavily criticized in recent years over revelations of its own human rights abuses. in 2021, amnesty international issued a report exposing some horrendous findings. that was the discovery of the remains of more than $1300.00 indigenous children buried over many decades of 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 miss treatment or neglect. many indigenous people live on reservations with underdeveloped infrastructure on poor water supplies. there have been concerns that 1st nations, women and children faced disproportionately higher levels of violence too. and there's also

a reported lack of health care facilities and emergency services in those areas. but a former indian senior, a diplomat, say's its normal for western countries to meddle with other countries relations but then refuse to tolerate interference in their own domestic. a 1st canada is creating problems with not only in many other countries including russia. they think it is perfectly normal for them to fit in the internalization of other countries or internal matter with other countries, but will not on it any interference and then in building. so this is zack double status, that we see from many, many countries and the height behind the so called values of democracy and freedom of expression. but this doesn't, doesn't, doesn't apply when it comes to what they decide should be the normal freedom of

expression. another thing is that they are used to this kind of thing because partly because this part of the western world is protected the to the bottom needles. it hasn't got a strong relationship with united states. and therefore, the thing they can do these things with unity and because they'll 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 followed a sifting. the rest of them have the same kind of dominance over the international affair that they had in the past and not to be billed more and more see the double standard than the epoxy of these countries. and therefore in time in time, there will be a blowback and they will be a price to be for this today marks the $36.00 the anniversary of the disaster known as the will power gas leak. in india, it's considered one of the worst industrial events ever to happen across the globe

or t correspond region sharma can tell us more. on the 9th of december, 2nd, 1984 poisonous gas leaked from an american owned factory. union carbide and spread silently throughout the sleeping city of bo paul. around 3000 people, died instantly. another $10000.00 died within the 1st 72 hours off the leak. around half a 1000000 are estimated to still be suffering from side effects. this is the epicenter off the walls, worst, industrial disaster, a disaster that changed the face of the city forever. 42 tons of toxic mathias isis, cyanide, in famously known as m. i. c. gas escaped from this very factory and turned the city of lakes into a gas chamber 38 years later, the bhopal gas tragedy continues to want this town. jake precaution,

agger katy chola, gary busty, as well as other slum clusters within a 5 kilometer radius of the union. carbide continued to be victims of poisoning most here live in extreme poverty generation after generation suffers from the aftermath of that deadly night. shod and vigour whose parents survived the disaster lost their ability to speak and walk as soon as they were born. a common occurrence in the area, but there's little or no research on how to treat the children with such conditions to this date. there is no consistent treatment for the children off the gas tragedy, and doctor in all these years. we've been to many doctors, many hospitals, but no one has helped with they have no answer for why my children are suffering. it would be better to not live at all than to live like this lady. every 2nd hall next to the union carbide factory has a tragic story. wounds of 1984,

yet to heal wounds that were caused by an american dream for. but now lol getting the job at union carbide was a dream come true. but little did he know the job would cost him his child's life and break his family unit god road, where my thought my life was set off to getting a job with an american company, but it poisoned on lives forever. business. the union carbide factory left, a bitter legacy that continues to affect people. the soil and water contamination have led a high rate of chronic diseases in survivors such as cancer and to you, but glosses as for the survivors, the gas relief hospitals meant for them in the region have not been of much help either this or any other account would fall short of adequately describing the full gravity off the disaster. perhaps only those who lost and lived through it truly understand all were the years activists have demanded the weekends. get fair

compensation. adequate medical treatment rehabilitation plan removal of toxic chemicals found in plants, premises, and punishment for the was responsible for the tragedy. but all this fell on deaf ears rush. nadine dra, we do a job with a multinational firm in the u. s. and moved to rural ball 20 years ago to work for gas wittons. these were the american corporations there, and then the board of people of this country are fighting the riches and the wealthiest corporations of this word. the 2 american corporations. union carbide and dow chemical. and u. s. government has played an active role in ensuring that there is no justice in mobile. $500.00 is thrown to yes victims. and that is how union carbide has escaped its liability for committing literally a genocide in the city. the fact that not a single person has been jailed for what happened in 1984 is the cause of deep been

for the survivors. justice and chloe hill i'll far from sight ruins and sharma r t. o. bob. k is something else. we're keeping a close eye on today. a new wave of protests engulfing the french capital. this time it's doctors on lab workers. you've gone on strike in a bid, really 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 also the 1st time in 7 years that medical lab, unless have gone on strike to they've taken name of the states plan to reduce funding for their departments to the tune of hundreds of thousands of euro. we know british prime minister risky snack, say the u. k, i said to give police more power to cracked on, on, on, authorized protest. well 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 selfish minority. well, just in case we forget that comes as western politicians helping came to support anti government protests elsewhere in the world's frances present. mccrendon has branded at protests in iran, the revolution can of as prime minister has said at every one in china should be allowed to protest and express themselves on that. canadians were closely watching the demonstrations against beijing 0 cohen policy. the british peer, meanwhile, has also expressed support for chinese protestors, but received online backlash over his backing of a domestic tract done on the 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 protesters should feel the full force of the law. interesting justin trudeau and re, she's to knock decide which protests are legal and illegal for canada, u. k. and the world. this is pretty interesting to one particular social media user responded to mr. su knocked statement with a map of the world showing how the west on its leaders are viewed police brutality against protesters. not you can make out there are the countries marked in red, they represent good protests for western lates. the ones that in blue, basically in the western part and of the world, those should be suppressed with my colleague donal quarter earlier spoke to an international law specialist who sees the e. u. works to secure the blocks collect of interest, not nationally significant ones. we're seeing now more and more the system by

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, he's a hovering over the confuses of finances and the manual macro will at sir, let's say it outright. these are some, one was been placed, essentially biased from national interest. and his job is to make sure that the on the country goes on, the leon regime, we've seen no other european level mechanism put in place, such as a euro gender for which is a collective, a 8th on da marie services of 8 new countries. they can be deployed at any woman's notice to basically a welsh, any kind of up on our own, you know, pretty 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 would just explain? well, they've been accompanying the concept for the last 30 years now, so they are part and parcel while de'anthony are edifice the n g o complex. we've seen it in the human italian, a war for, you know, a new market, assisted new market, new natural resources. we weaponized the human white regime using those and yours that are heavy finance, either by western security agencies and all by already galks from western oregon that it work. and basically you just kind of private eyes, you know, with a public policy. but you present it under these 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 because, you know, know, it's perfectly normal what we're doing. and sometimes you have to, you know, you have to step up to the plate and then and force and ensure that our values are

promoted for the world. alexandra police is a port for the people, not a strong hole for imperialist. that is the coal coming from greek protestors demonstrating against military supplies being sent to ukraine from the city. the u. s. and nato have been using the port of the hub to ford weapons to tear the latest protest took place near a railway. crowded with american tanks and armored vehicles ready to be delivered this weekend in rome, a conference call. the mediterranean dialogues is taking place global challenges, ways to resolve, and that is the focus with top a government officials on a collection of leaders from think tanks and regional organizations in attendance. the annual events established by the italian foreign ministry has the aim of rethinking traditional approaches to solving issues and seeks to draw what

organizers call a positive agenda. this year, the conference heard from more than a 100 officials regarding the big issues affecting the world that we are some of the speakers about their country relations with moscow and their thoughts on that. you price camp for rational i think we have a very good nation on the top, a many a nation in terms of the con. i mean, it certainly corporation a you a to test san antonio, russia and ukraine ward. and kara says that i should not good admission with russia, the russian federation of the friends ben old was perceived in a good time and welcomed and supported jordan. the king of the king has made it

very clear that the russians are friendly with the nation between jordan on russia on regional issues. all right, it's iced and there is an open channel of communication and brochure. i've been there for jordan. i've been there in syria for jordan, and we still pulling for the russians to help jordan when it comes to syria. i thank oh, so the good news is that this was a class. it's a dependency exactly united states as a source of guys i know. and one thing that ceiling, it will apply only part out of what will not apply for a poly invite. okay? so it will be limited to you out of my will, you know, ceiling the price. absolutely. and i,

this is against the wishes values of free open market show. it's the marketing. so the price by the given, the risk to stands are they gonna use? what's our as the in order to bring the correction economy, to a point where the russia will listen to the waste and the war in your brain. i think the whist are ready to deliver to this and can but remember, you know, whistles were sold in the black market. so there will be a little human ingredient to that. and states will jump into their own interest. and the fear that they might not finding or that old and always where are we leave the news block for not, but don't go too far as more programs are said to get going in. but see what showing where you are today. right ahead. ah,
