oh yes, please, and you'll have to numerous glad you have. so to do most of the zoom shuttle specially to renew the exist, there's openings neutral. could you going to spin? ah, you commission confirms the european union g 7 states and australia are ready to implement a price cap on russian oil starting monday, despite moscow's warnings. it will stop supplies for those who join the scheme of the law must backs up allegations of a shadow. censorship scheme by twitters former management with the muzzling of the hunter. biden laptops group. apparently, just the tip of the iceberg. this is the epicenter of the blood worst being just treated dissolved, a dissolved, change, the face of the city. progressive party reports on the tragic events in india 38

years ago. one of the world's worst industrial catastrophes were a gas leak. at a u. s. factory left, 13000 people with hello there. you're watching our international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. now our top story, the european commission says the e u g. 7 states and australia have confirmed their intention to introduce a $60.00 per barrel price cap on russian oil starting this monday. russia, however, has repeatedly stated it won't supply crude at prices below market value. the price cap will be implemented in parallel with an embargo on oil transported by ship is also set to come into force. on monday, the 1st revision of the price limit is planned for mid january and will require a unanimous vote to be approved. do you members have said they believe this step

will help to stem inflation and stabilize oil market prices? europe suggests this is a tool to stop military actions in ukraine by depleting russia's economic resources . moscow, however, has condemned the move 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 hooton'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. archie, contributor rachel marston, reports on what could spoil the euphoria from what many in europe and in the u. s.

now see as a huge breakthrough in the fight against russia. 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 underline can brag about how europe is united for ukraine, together with our partners. we stand united and firm in our opposition to russia's 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 a could spike prices in deregulate 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 behind the scenes, there's a lot of talking to you about how much this is already worth. since rushing true 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 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 at our 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 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 cap. 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 $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 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 ear 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. in the meantime, germany is set to receive new supplies of contrary liquefied natural gas after 2 sales and purchase agreements were signed covering at least a 15 year period. these agreements, i went to school several of them on the 1st long term energy supply agreement to germany with a supply period that extends for at least 15 years. this consisted, put everything to germany is long term energy security. they also presents a combination of efforts between the 2, a trusted, bottom energy and for this many years to provide reliable and kind of an energy supply solutions to customers across the globe. and to the 2 gentlemen and uses the

deal, which is the 1st of its kind for europe will provide germany with $2000000.00 tons of l. n. g. annually. an american subsidiary company is also part of the deal and will be responsible for the delivery of the fuel. the german chancellor has welcomed this new deal as berlin has been scrambling to replace imports from russia . earlier i spoke with dr. colleen, our caught her eye specialist and monetary policy and political economy in ca tar. he says german energy needs will be difficult to solve in the short term. to an hour later, this country will strike a deal because jeremy is in need of energy and need to diversify its sources of energy and kind of provide the reliable source of energy. and in the meantime, once also to secure long term contracts in order to genetic income today isn't by it's the economy. i think the country would sign in the future, but this is not short. this will not solve the short term issue as

a crisis in germany, or you're just trying to think to sign a deal with with the, with the fact that i'm jeremy is in meet sooner or later. you know, they are in nice. i you cannot depend on when i was at the i think it's the mature even try and longer term with, with asia, with nick at some jeremy is 15. he is mostly contracted with the east asia over the 2022 decades. and even over it's been non got recent with, with china the 7 years. so i'm not surprised. and on the topic of germany lacking energy, its national football team has been left speechless and shocked. and is on its way home from cuts are after a lackluster performance at the world cup is the 2nd consecutive time the squads failed to qualify for the next stage of the tournament. after an early boot from russia 4 years ago, the german team made an early headline and the tournament for politicizing their

1st match when they covered their mouths during a group photo indicating their hopes to promote gay rights, which have apparently been silenced in cutter cutlery. fans hit back by holding pictures of former german player measured ozy hill who quit the national team after becoming a target of racist abuse for his turkish roots. the german interior minister criticize the awarding of this year's world cup to ca tar. specifically mentioning the human rights situation in the country. doctor khalid our katara again says that germany and the west are hypocritical to lecture other countries on moral values or human rights. i think it was not in the position to lecture us on human rights on moral values because they basically they don't have it done. most of the motivated by the basis of supremacy and cultural economic and political exploitation. i think it's a double standard. i think the german, in this case, the, you know,

they just signed a deal with us and in the meantime, they are choosing god. so i think human rights, i think this is a courtesy by the west and by the gentleman in this case, or the guitar is such a bad country with the bad that. right. so why accept the energy understand investments, and in this case, to generate income to us? so for a state that's violates human rights. so then this is a courtesy and you have no principle and no i think if you are accurate and if you are correct anyone. and if you are not, then you are lying and the losing this to exploit the country and you are using it for other different purposes with a more c or by racism or by september c, or whatever, or by other political, or economic or objective or to impose your culture on other nations.

new details are emerging and the hunter biden laptop scandal. twitter is new owner . ilan mosque has confirmed claims that the platforms previous management went out of its way to sensor controversial issues surrounding the u. s. president sun. 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 easy on giving the public a look into the insight 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 had a very lengthy recap of these files that was made by independent journalist mattie 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 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 2021. of course twitter moved not just to sensor their 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 to 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 are 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 were 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 voice in 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 it's brand new, see of this t's 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. 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 in 32 days. the new house republican majority will get answers for the american people and the accountability they deserve. says and this is just getting started. iran mask is already promising an episode to of the twitter files, so we'll likely be way back here talking about this as those releases continue. as india assumed the g 20 presidency this week, a major canadian opposition party called for a diplomatic boycott of new daily's leadership in the block over alleged 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 g 20 activities plant in kashmir, and refuse to attend these activities while the human rights abuses continue. how are canada itself has been heavily criticized in recent years over claims of human rights abuses? in 2021, amnesty international issued a report exposing some horrendous findings. specifically the remains of more than $1300.00 indigenous children buried over many decades at former schools. which were used to indoctrinate native americans and to 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 and poor water supplies. there have been also concerns that 1st nations, women and children faced disproportionately higher levels of violence as well. there's also a reported lack of health care facilities and emergency services in those areas. former senior indian diplomat told us that it's normal for western countries to meddle with other countries relations, but then refused to tolerate interference in their own. domestic affairs. canada is creating the problems with not only option, but many other countries, including the shock you think it is perfectly normal for them to interfere in the internal relations of all the other countries into no matter what other countries but will not tolerate any interference in did it 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, it 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, but partly because they just part of the western world is protected bottom, nato. it has got a strong relationship with united states, and therefore the thing they can do these things with impunity 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, if i want a 15 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 this saturday marks the 38th anniversary of the fall,

paul gas leak disaster in india. it's considered one of the worst industrial disasters ever to take place on earth. ortiz correspondent runjun sharma has more. on the 9th 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 of the walls, worst, industrial disaster, a disaster that changed the face of the city for ever. 42 tons of toxic, matthias ice, the 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, regarding snugger jet, each ruler 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 as little or no research on how to treat the children with such conditions to the state. there is no consistent treatment for the children off the gas tragedy on land up in all these years. we've been to many doctors, many hospitals, but no one has helped. they have no answer for why my children are suffering. it would be better to not live at all than to live like this study every 2nd whole

next to the union carbide factory has a tragic story. wounds of 1984, yet to heal wounds that are 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 . union goddard, where my thought my life was set off to getting a job with an american company, but it poisoned on lives forever. 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 rec losses. 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 foy 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 plans, premises, and punishment for the was responsible for the tragedy. but all this fell on deaf ears rush. nadine dra, quit a job with a multinational firm in the u. s. and moved to rural pal 20 years ago to work for gas week. tim's. these were the american corporations. there's a board of people of this country are fighting the richest and wealthiest vibrations 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 this city. the fact that not

a single person has been jailed for what happened and 1984 is the cause of deep been for the survivors. justice and chloe hill i'll far from sight ruins and sharma. r t. beau ball. ah, russian forces have been demonstrating to r t, the frontline performance of its tornado, multiple rocket launchers. ah, it takes only 30 seconds to determine the target and transmit that information to the divisions control points. and it's up to 2 minutes from detecting the target to opening fire. it's being used to repel ukrainian attacks of which one of the latest on friday saw the city of barnett's shelled leaving at least 5 people dead. and a dozen wounded artes remain closer of reports from the ground. 5 people who are killed and another 14 civilians were wounded as

a result of indiscriminate and chaotic, ukrainian artillery shelling. now 3 of those wounded are in this hospital at the moment. they are in intensive care, and doctors are trying to do everything they can in order to save their lives. mumble of the stolen shit for before patients were brought to our hospital, 3 of them were hospitalized, and the 4th was transferred to a specialized clinic. all the victims have sustained blast wounds and shrapnel injuries. this is a barbaric shell in the city. it's a real crime to attack children, women, and the elderly in a crowded city center at the end of the working day. there are no military facilities here at all. you know, it's not some courageous act to target civilians with heavy artillery has several people were wounded right here in this s supermarket and the adjacent pharmacy. when the ukranian nationalist shelled the very center of the city of dunn as canal

the pharmacist, kennedy, he fell to the ground immediately as the shadow began. and later on he administered 1st aid for those people who were wounded. this is not the defect. a shell landed at a quarter to 5. at 1st we didn't understand what was going on and thought that it was a plane. we immediately hit our visitors in the storage room. we ourselves did not realize how we ended up on the floor after the massive explosion. the whole pharmacy was in smoke and dust. the facade was destroyed. we provided 1st aid, calmed people down and prepared bandages. thank god, it's over. i can still see the remains of the grad message that landed right here, right next to this residential building, where almost all the windows were blown out. this car caught on fire right away, and now it's completely destroyed. now several people were wounded here as well. there are still blood trails on the grounds over there. now, according to my sources, in the military, there is a wandering,

ukrainian multiple rocket launches system, a near of dave cod that says, shoots indiscriminately towards the sensor of the city and then goes into hiding. now over the last couple weeks, they'd been firing in civilian areas and as a result, several people have been killed from on call for have r t don't ask republican. meanwhile, russia and bella roofs have reached an agreement to expand joint regional security cooperation. said to be in response to growing western threats. the move was announced during a meeting of the russian defense minister and the bel russian president in minsk. that's the news for this. our thanks for watching our international, and we hope you have a great day. ah,

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk when i was showing wrong, when i just don't hold any world that you have to figure out is the, becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground.

a monday let me and honestly if you buy a new deal law is ponzio with project jewelry. with engineering that the, with the with deal it's your vehicle can be a good what are you looking for? we can do it. so lucian school is not heard of it. other was the money done. love your schooling with

either woodman. ah, i see. yeah, yeah. satellite class, a higher yeah. with that i love it and it's interesting.
