we have managed to protect the security of our country's energy supply. that reaction came as the e u. g. 7 states and australia confirm their intention to introduce a $60.00 per barrel price cap on russian oil. russia, however, has repeatedly stated it won't supply crude at prices below market value. the price cap will be activated on monday in parallel with the ease embargo on seaborne russian oil. the 1st revision of the new cap is planned for mid january and will need a unanimous vote to be approved. e u. member states have said they believe the measure will help stem inflation and stabilize oil prices. europe claims a new measure will help stop moscow's actions in ukraine by hitting the russian budget. but kia has criticize the move, demanding the price cap be cut in half. meanwhile, moscow has strongly condemned the move and will attend the opec plus meeting on sunday to discuss the next step for the world's oil producers. our teeth
10:03 pm
contributor rachel mars then picks up the story. so the ball is totally in the court of opec plus oil producing countries now led by russia and saudi arabia, as they meet this weekend to discuss how to handle the use russian oil ban. angie 7 price cap set for implementation on monday, december 5th. the e, you took a typically ideological position with its price cap and ban, and must now pretty much be holding its breath and wondering what russia and opec plus are going to do in response. that's not exactly a position of strength. control the blocks and was tinkering has already created energy price and supply crisis to the point of d industrialization because europe is in a reality, dependent on the fuel that it keeps trying to sanction ban price cap offer virtue, signaling purposes for ukraine. european leaders keep blaming russian president
10:04 pm
vladimir putin for their own choices. you cannot count on russia. it is deliberately, i'm cutting the gas flows to the european union, thus no more honoring any kind of its pipeline contract. we are facing an extraordinary situation. not only because rush as an unreliable supplier, as we have witnessed, over the last days, weeks, months, but also because rushes actively manipulating the gas market. look, if russia was really withholding energy from the u as european officials constantly claim, then why has the blocks been quietly and massively able to import russian liquefied natural gas since january? to the point where russia is still the blocks, 3rd largest supplier, they're paying 5 times more for it compared to last year. so about another, $13000000000.00 more. but european officials reserve accusations of price gouging
10:05 pm
for the used top l n g supplier. now the u. s. the fact is if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the u. s, because they are selling morega in at higher prices. and because they are selling more weapons, despite all the railing against russia for being stingy with energy for europe. well, it turns out that almost half of all diesel that was ultimately supplied to europe was russian making it the blocks largest diesel supplier by longshot. so what's the bet that despite the upcoming ban on russia diesel, that the e u has set for february? well, they might find a way to just keep importing it. speaking of which, it turns out that the share of undetermined or undisclosed buyers of russian crude has spite considerably according to tanker tracking data. wonder who that might be
10:06 pm
. experts have also pointed out that even in the run up to next weeks, you van on russian oil and the g 7 and you price cap. europe has nonetheless been the talk buyer of all russian fossil fuels. rational and g has to continue to flow. we need that on the global energy balance. it's already tight enough as it is . i think most european countries are indeed happy to turn a blind eye on this. so you might be wondering how much of a loss in revenues has russia actually taken since the u. sanctions well a 10 percent increase in revenues compared to 2021. that's according to the russian prime minister. the who did reject the budget revenues for january to september higher than expected. they increased 10 percent compared to the same period last year and of approach 20 trillion roubles. you're probably so apparently all he you really seems to have done with its anti russian energy sanctions for ukraine,
10:07 pm
is find a way to impose a virtue signaling tax on themselves for their own energy. yet another stunning achievement for the big brain bureaucrats in brussels. new details are emerging in the hunter biden laptop scandal, twitters new owner. ellen musk has confirmed claims that the platforms previous management went out of their way to sensor controversal stories concerning 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 of files. now this is supposed to be even giving the public
10:08 pm
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
10:09 pm
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 to 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 correctly 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, entrust virginia ged, playing a key role. an amazing sub blot of the twitter hunter biden laptop affair was how much was done without the knowledge of c. e o jack dorsey,
10:10 pm
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 were 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 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 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
10:11 pm
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. now take a 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 in the accountability they deserve. says am that this is just getting started. iran mask is already promising and at the so 2 of the twitter files, so we'll likely be right back here talking about this as those releases continue.
10:12 pm
we also spoke to legal and media analysts line all who said that despite all the hype over the story, things are unlikely to change as the democrats are too powerful. well, i think it will now under and eli and musk administration. i've kind of tell you something. this is almost like the 1986. her aldo al capone's vault episode. they opened it up and nothing was there. we knew all this. is there anybody in the world who said i didn't know that? do you mean to tell me that that twitter is actually shadow banning and eliminating certain voices based upon merely and purely political reasons? i'm shot we knew this. there will be a lot of filing of arm is they'll be hearings. you know, how many times all of the heads of silicon valley and big tech were marched into
10:13 pm
congress zuckerberg and jack dorsey v as zoom and jim cook from apple and, and they point their fingers and they threaten. this is the, this is the challenge with, this is the point. section 230, you are uploading of the communications decency act. this is what grants these people, immunity, these corporations. if you take that away from them, it all fold, but they never talk about this. so what you see is a lot of posturing, a lot of tweeting a lot of news programs, where various points, official republicans will leave the charge and what happens eventually nothing. i hope somebody can be done. i hope we don't get bored with that because sometimes that we have a 3 day attention span. we have attention span of a gnat, and there are also cases. let me also remind you, huge cases would china with s b f with a complete and total that?
10:14 pm
does this crypto collapse? when you focus on one thing, the question you're going to ask is, what are you not paying attention to elsewhere? that also scares. so i cross my fingers, i hope, but i have absolutely no feeling of confidence that anything will ever come of this because it never does. while the knockout stage of the world cup has just begun, one of the favorites, germany is on its way home from guitar. after exiting in the tournaments group stage in a disappointing performance. aside from their poor, displayed german players attracted attention by covering their mouths during 18 photo to show they'd been silenced in their protest against could tarry homosexuality. laws. german interior minister nancy phaser was also critical of guitars, human rights abuses. gaston could tarry, television were pictured waving the german team did by and mocking their protests.
10:15 pm
although lagoon had tarry. fans also displayed pictures of former germany squad. player miss suit us. they'll who quit the national team after facing racist abuse for his turkish roots and they weren't the only ones. disappointed with the german teams approach to the tournament. back in berlin, german fans are upset. their player seemed to pay more attention to politics than their own game. definitely, this would of course, distract the team. this is a very probable reason. of course, it's a lot of stress. the must have been prussia from above. come coming to school force . yes. this is the likely version to be honest. all these discussions about the arm band are exclusively our domestic whims. talk to people from other countries who are participating in the world's cup. they're only thinking about football games. we only managed to turn this into a political discussion. we spoke took
10:16 pm
a tory political economy specialists, doctor colored alcantur, who thinks germany has no right to lecture guitar and push its own agenda. i think it was not in the position to look at us on the human rights on moral values because they basically, they don't have it. the salary issues are mostly motivated by the system supremacy of the cultural economic and political exploitation. and they are using this to exploit company and you are using it for other different purposes with a c or by racism, or by supremacy or whatever, or by the political, or economic or objective or to impose your culture on other nations. and discrimination is implemented amongst even their own citizen based on ethnicity descendant origin. reese, i'm calling, you know, i'm the,
10:17 pm
these allegations by the way, against about is losing credibility. now i'm just being counter productive and attracting more attention and more people to the top of the month. and they are discovering the contrary to these accusations. so it's actually serving us when russian forces have given r t and exclusive demonstration. i'm how it's tornado rocket launcher is changing the game on the front lines. ah, in less than 2 minutes, the advance piece of weaponry can identify a target, transmit the coordinates, an open fire. it's being used to fight back against ukrainian attacks, such as fridays and don, yes, which left at least 5 people dead and a dozen more wounded. the don bass frontline is seeing the heaviest fighting,
10:18 pm
particularly near the city of already almost russian forces have ramped up. they are offensive in the area this week, securing important footholds. this comes as the ukrainian military suffers heavy casualties. a story covered even by western medium mainstream outlets with the new york times reporting an unending stream of ukrainian casualties at local hospitals . just this week, almost 250 wounded soldiers were reportedly admitted in one day. this comes as e u commission had ursula founder lay and made a controversial statement on the ukrainian armies dental. earlier this week saying ukraine had lost 100000 officers. this caused a major backlash and cube, whose officials insisted this was classified information. it is estimated that more than 20000 civilians and more than 100000 ukrainian military officers have been killed so far. according to the chief ukraine's losses amount to $100000.00
10:19 pm
military officers, meaning over all military casualties could be much higher. however, the video which was posted on twitter, was edited several minutes later with the part about casualties removed. and on the e u commission official website, the tax of the statement now has those parts edited out and ease spokesperson later refused to disclose the source for the dental and provide any explanation on how this information ended up in wonderland speech. author and more correspondence, thomas roper told us such a huge figure if true, would be catastrophic for kids it disturbs there in the western and ukrainian narrative of the ukraine winning the war. it's interesting, i have found an announcement from the speaker of the commission who said that the figures were just incorrect. they were an estimation and who are not very correct. and so they deleted it,
10:20 pm
and they just used this figure to show the cruelty of russia. but then i have a question, does that mean that the you commission is officially lying all the time of their talking to ukraine? so we have 2 possibilities. either. there are 100000 soldiers dead, or new commission just officially said they are lying. when we got ukraine while i was there several times, nothing the estimation of 100000 is quite correct. the problem is you have to see if it's 100000 really dead, you creating soldiers? i think we have an additional 200000 wound, its soldiers, which means altogether losses of something like 300000. this is the number of ukrainian army before the russian prevention. this will be a catastrophe. it means that you credit your cradles just blotting out the rush and private military company. wagner has been one of russia's leading, fighting forces in the dark bass. the groups recent strides have paved the way for a possible offensive, an rti almost as they took a major foothold in the area
10:21 pm
r t dot exclusive access to a wagner training cap and spoke with some of the soldiers honing their skills. the wagner group, private military company. this is one of the most secretive organizations in russia . who are the soldiers, how are the trained? we are the 1st phone crew to get access to the main training based in southern russia just now will show it to you. a ah, tear messiah did that got that letter. i know such a person. oh sure. mm hm. oh,
10:22 pm
so i was saying, i do. well, not somebody going is, is a broadsoft. our training ground here wants to stay in combat. exercises are carried out according to a method. it's simple to complex stuff off at 1st, our employees begin with solar training, and then they end up as a well coordinator teams. because obviously we individually train specialists for certain weapons filter, morters, and all kinds of artillery spaghetti. we also train snipers, our fighters come to us from all regions of russia. examples they also come from abroad. i see all our instructors have combat experience. each instructor has had more than one combat to work with them because the instructor now i've not come when you're talking about the poker. but the comics, everybody se for medical training is a sat of matches to pass a some al 1st aid on the battlefield. so lots of the main emphasis is on what sam please will walk with directly during the performance of their service and combat missions. this is flood last a lot more than means i used to stop bleeding or torn the kids, hemostatic substances. make sure to tell employees about all stages of conducting
10:23 pm
and of occasions that when you come, yes, cousin above laquata with a lot of people that are there any. well, i trained encumbered sambo, sir, to be arminian. i came to wagner to further my education and military affairs in it . is there any philosophy out? wagner group, i feel to philosophies, burst simpson. we have one common goal to defend our motherland. and violence has erupted in the east of the democratic republic of congo between government forces and rebels. that's this by a truth that was called last week. the congolese government has accused the rebels of violating the ceasefire in of continuing to loot and fight. according to local
10:24 pm
officials, clashes erupted after rebel forces prost to major bridges in the region and opened fire at the congolese military breaking the truce, reached at a summit. a week earlier, the meeting called for a cease fire and withdrawal of rebel forces from occupied territories. and although no withdraw was observed, the fighting had ceased. some saturday, a top general accused m. 23 rebels of killing 50 civilians and kidnapping even more from villages near the conflict zone. meanwhile, the city of goma, the capital of the besieged provinces, mass protest against the presence of the un mission in the d. r. c. demonstrators claim, after 20 years, the mission has achieved nothing. and even worse, and the situation. protesters also called on the international community to take action to lift an arm man on the d. r. c, which was prolonged the summer by the un until 2023. here's what people on the
10:25 pm
streets had to say. oh sure it was. who do? we are deploying the complicity of the international community. moscow and east african community is forces came to our country to fight alongside a comb goes armed forces. but since the ultimatum given should be empathy, 3 rebels expired. on sunday, we have seen the forces of the east african commune. she becomes inactive. oh my god, i'm on. we're asking that embargo and our republic, the dear seat to be listed. and also to remind the international community where we cannot continue to have people kill like that and remain calm. otherwise, it shows throw complicity with what we're seeing. france has insisted, it will keep forces and bo keena faso to combat terrorism. that's despite the growing fatigue among locals over the french military presence. you'll have an interest in the keener remaining standing for the whole region as long as the book and obey authorities wish france remains a pot north became
10:26 pm
a facet. last month angry protestors and bettina faso attempted to storm the front embassy in the nation's capital. locals accused paris of failing to stand the rising islamic insurgency in the rigid demonstrators, through stones, and sat fires outside the compound and police fire tear gas to disperse the crowd. several west african countries are trying to form their own collective military force called the opera initiative aimed at combating terrorist groups. lakita faso has already achieved 2000 troops from the neighboring countries, including the ivory coast niger and gonna last month. france officially ended its 8 year military operation to fight terrorism in the region. here's what some locals think about that. move is simply it's a bit dubious. i'm skeptical because burkina faso is not the only country in an emergency situation. i think the initiative should come through the economic
10:27 pm
community of west african states, or it should concern all the countries affected by terrorism. france could be a shareholder of the a cry initiative in the process, or who them with the french are going through all domains to take control, to dominate us, to present themselves as a guide and protector. they know that since molly loved the g 5 so hell, but group became non such. we no longer trust them that people now have eyes open. and if france doesn't change its way of dealing with people with our states, i would say they're not welcome. 5000000 lamar to host with, i think it's a good initiative. we feel a climate of solidarity between african countries. thank god. the initiative is coming from ghana and thank god ganna is not a francophone country. so we can believe that france doesn't have a full control of gonna, and we don't have to worry table. it's a good initiative because we were told that if africa wants to save itself, this has to be done by africans. first western countries are not done yet. with africa in the south of the sahara, no doubt, they are going to explore many ways to re colonize their last territories. we also
10:28 pm
heard from a local journalist and bikini faso, who says that african countries must strengthen their own military forces and not depend on western partners for security. that's gonna be quickly when coastal countries like ghana ivory coast been in and togo, realised the terrorism was heading to the coast. they were considering burkina faso as a rampart. but this rampart was not able to contain that progress. we waited a long time for concrete things, but to day, as the fire is burning and there is the threat of terrorism, it's really time to update this project because it's a question of existence for these countries. in the 2000 soldiers are ready waiting . it's good, but will the funds come from online resources that way? if they are going to still wait for hypothetical support from our traditional partners, my have doubts. those were the hour and the week top news stories from around the world for up to the minute. news updates, head over to
