ah ah ah, opaque bluff mend estates, reportedly mold further oil production codes that says russia says it won't fix both of those countries observing the use price cap. in this week's top stories, the e u commission chief deletes of post claiming that's 100000 ukrainian offices, i think killed in the war of figures around 10 times higher. one released by ukraine officials backing august on south africa. presidents faces growing corruption obligations with the national parliament to consider whether to begin an impeachment process against him with

a sunday. and that means it's the weekly here on oxy. my name is peter scott and here the top stories from the week just gone. but 1st, we'll start off this all with the latest news we're hungry, has accused the you of harming its own economy with the recently agreed price cap on russian oil. not, says budapest itself has remained exempt from the oil embargo during the negotiations on the oil cap, we thought a lot for hungarian interests. and in the end we succeeded. hungary was exempted from the application of the oil cap. once again, we have managed to protect the security of our country's energy supply. well, that reaction came as the u. d. southern states and australia confirmed our intention to introduce a $60.00 price per barrel top on russian oil. russia, however, has repeatedly stated it won't supply crude prices below the market value. the price gap will be activated on monday in parallel with ease embargo on seaborne russian oil. the 1st vision of the new cap is planned for mid january and will need

to be a unanimous vote to be approved. even the states have said that they believe the measure, it will help stem inflation and stabilize oil prices. and europe claims the new measure will help stop moscow's actions in ukraine by hitting the russian budget or kia has criticized the moved the money to the price cut be cut in half me. while moscow has stony, condemned the move and will attend the opec plus meeting this sunday, to discuss the next steps for the world's oil produces archie, contribute to rachel marston, 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 e use russian oil band and g 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 and control the blocks. endless tinkering has already created an 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 all for virtue signaling purposes for ukraine. european leaders keep blaming russian president 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 normal honoring any kind of its pipeline contracts. we are facing an extraordinary situation. not only because russia has 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 block 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 in either $13000000000.00 more. but european officials reserve accusations of price gouging for the use 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're 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

a longshot. so wants to 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 spiked considerably according to tanker tracking data. wonder who that might be . experts have also pointed out that even in the run up to next week's e u ban on russian oil and the g 7 and you price cop, europe has none. the less been the talk buyer of all russian fossil fuels. russian hill 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 hooded reject the budget revenues from january to september higher than expected. they increased 10 percent compared to the same period last year of approach 20 trillion roubles. probably. so apparently, all the e u really seems to have done with its anti russian energy sanctions for ukraine, is find a way to impose a virtue signalling tax on themselves for their own energy supply. yet another stunning achievement for the big brain bureaucrats in brussels. on new details are emerging in the hunter biden laptop scandal. with his new own ela, moscow's confirmed claims to the platforms, previous managements went out of their way to sensor controversial stories concerning the u. s. president, son, 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 were 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 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 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, virginia, again playing a key role in amazing. so blood 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 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 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 and 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 and 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. what was ortiz, rachel blevins who brought us that story. but we also talk to legal and media analyst, lionel, he said the despite all the hype over the story, things online me to change as a democrats are too powerful. well, i think it will now under and eli 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 sure we knew this. there will be a lot of flailing of arms. they'll be hearings, you know, how many times all of the heads of silicon valley and big tech were marched into congress zuckerberg and jack dorsey v as zoom and jim cook from apple 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 voy,

official republicans will, will lead the charge and what happens eventually? nothing. i hope something 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 your huge cases. would china with s b f with a complete and total that? 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 willing of confidence that anything will ever come of this because he never dies. in the news this we, while the knockout stage, the well caught has just begun. one of the favors germany is on their way home from guitar to exiting the tournaments group stage and a disappointing performance well aside from their poor display. german plays

attracted attention by covering their mouths during it seem photo to show. they have been silenced in their protest against katara homosexuality laws. german interior minister nancy phaser was also critical of catan human rights abuses, guests on cathartic television where pictured waiving the germans seem goodbye and mocking their protest. although the phone or guitar refunds also displayed pictures of former germany squad player miss suits whose ill, who quit the national team after facing racist abuse for his turkish roots. and they weren't the only ones. disappointed with the german seems approach to the tournament back in berlin, german funds are upset. their players seem 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 pressured from above. coming to school for 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 cup. they're only thinking about football as we only managed to turn this into a political discussion. earlier we spoke to katara political economy specialist daughter halley, the al hotter the things that germany's got no rights electric guitar and push his own agenda. i think it was is not in the possession to us on human rights on moral values because they basically they don't have it done. the certifications are more motivated by the basis supremacy and cultural economic and political exploitation and the using this to exploit the country and you are using it for other different purposes. with a more threaded, marco c or by racism,

or by supremacy or whatever or by other political or economic or objective to impose your culture on other nations and discrimination is implemented amongst even their own citizen, based on the descendant origin of race problems. and these allegations, by the way, against that is losing debility now being content of productive and the more attention and will be equal to the dominant. and they are discovering the contrary to the suck is ation. so it's actually serving us way well, in another headline from the world called during a much with germany, spanish funds wave, the flag of ukraine's as old battalion. the bun was subsequently confiscated by fee for representatives. he sally brings us more from baton or been saying go through

this wall cup it. i wouldn't say the fault will being overshadowed by issues off the field, but certainly them taking a more prominent role not by accident, perhaps without the western media seeking to use this wild card as a bullhorn for promoting their own causes. and in the latest episode of control to see if you seen this issue from the spain game where a group of fans wave the as of battalions flag. of course, the neo nazi group, hugely controversial group or whose existence in the ukrainian military forces has been a source of real concern to those in moscow and policy makers out there. now you think that everybody would be united in supporting the security at the stadium who removed that flag, who instructed those people not to carry that flag, but not everyone sees at the same way and roman xhylia and he's

a former ukranian national team football us actually spent time playing football in spain, and he was one of those who took the facebook in a post that he has since deleted. praising at the us or battalion fee for are the victims of russian propaganda. i hope that the ukraine and football association and the ministry of youth and sports will also respond to such shameful behavior of the fee for representatives. and for those single celled organisms that prohibit our flag been raised in the stance, i hope they will apologize. and finally study the real history of the issue and not according to the kremlin back media. now those claims might ring hollow one looks at the history of this particular of football player romans. those julia is taken to social media before to praise the battalion. he's posted picks with an image of stephen ben dera, who is of course, one of the big neo nazi collaborators who groups like out of italian look to

go with great respect and also a post. he posted himself a photo opposing with the numbers 1488 of course more symbolism that by with regards to nazi type of sympathies that sir, unfortunately many in those ukrainian armed forces seem to have when he was playing in spain. as i mentioned before, he was playing for a club called at c, f through and broad. and what he was at the club, he was kicked out for holding extreme political views. and in fact, in one game that he played in the spanish league, the game had to be called off because, or some of the fans of the opposing team bring him so much because of those that far right, beliefs that he holds on to. now, of course, at this time fif, i've managed to stop the waving of that near nazi flag in coordination with the, the organizers and the security at the stadium. they to been kept busy by other

issues. for example, iranian riots as a supporters of the riots in iran also trying to wave slogans and banners. and increasingly, we're seeing the security at teams here at the stadiums. cracking down on that, especially ahead of that iran usa game later on. now the news russian forces have given artie an exclusive demonstration of how his tornado rocket launcher works in the front lines. ah, in less than 2 minutes, the system can reportedly identify a target, transmit the coordinates, an open fire. it's been used to fight back against you credit sites such as fridays in done yet, which left at least 5 people dead and a dozen more wounded. the dumbass frontline is seeing the heaviest fighting, particularly near the city of our chore mosque. russian forces have ramped up their offensive in the area this week, securing important footholds. this comes as the ukrainian military suffers heavy

casualties. the story covered even by western mainstream outlets. the new york times reporting an unending stream of ukrainian casualties. a local hospitals just this week, apparently 240 when the soldiers were for the admitted in one day. this comes amid a rift between care of and brussels of the ukrainian armies, death toll after you chief us live on the lion claimed ukraine had lost 100000 offices when the struggling figure was later dismissed by keir, whose officials insisted this is classified information. it is estimated that more than 20000 civilians and more than 100000 ukrainian military officers have been killed so far. as you heard that eve chief mentioned only officers as casualties, which means regular soldiers, territory defense units. i'm mercenaries are not included in the overall depth, whole figure over the video which was posted on switzer, was that it's, it's several minutes later, with the part about casualties removed. and on the commission's official website,

the text on the statement now has those parts edited out. and he use spokesperson laser claimed the death all figure was inaccurate. adding it was obtained from unnamed external sources. however, she didn't provide an explanation on how this information ended up in on the lines speech author under war correspondent thomas roper, told us such a huge figure if true, would be catastrophic. the key of it disturbs there in the western and ukrainian narrative of the ukraine winning the war. and 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 and they just used this figure to us 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 the have 100000 soldiers dead or new commission just officially said they are lying with gotten ukraine while i was there several

times nothing. b estimation of 100000 is quite correct. um, the problem is a you have to see if its one or a 1000 really dead ukrainian soldiers. i think we have an additional 200000 rounded soldiers, which means altogether losses of something that if we have a 1000, this is the number of ukrainian army before the rush intervention. this will be a catastrophe. it means that you create your trails. just blotting out a recent prob, has revealed to the south african president ceramic, those who may have broken anti corruption laws. this is in the wake of a multi $1000000.00 money laundering scandal, and independence panel accused him of similar crimes. according to the accusations, the presidents aided in covering up a 4000000 dollar theft from his farm back in 2020 some 580. so 580000 of which was subsequently found beneath his sofa cushions. the south african leader has denied all the allegations and he says he earned the money legally.

while confirming a robbery took place. he said the amount stolen was much smaller than alleged. we spoke to south african locals who have mixed reactions to the story. who got a lot of tricks, which has with every chin every month, my friend in or so the question is that why president a don't get the tricks you put the money in these brought you know his places. so why come from deadman doesn't question over. i'm not personally thing that a preston, moscow. i just one day our politics to over think what happened if there is something that is happening in our government, it needs to be look at truly, even over the management to get them saying, not only the president, how do keep the such money. and i do your carpet and then you expect people not to keep that money out of their cabinet rama positions and for,

for just continued to be able to know so lovely because there's not allocate the dis, disney that, that, that, that, that, that, that report is not it's not a fall of report. what does in the say this, it maybe if you're not that person, if you have the person just say you have something to say, no, i am telling the president because of this and business. so there's no other than that, there's no touch or on the forces case a has divided south african society with so many did demanding his resignation well as there are more pressing problems for the country to deal with. i think president, i'm sam. opposite is why many, many south africans accused a consumer being, i think, sir, up with a spar much risk and, and, and then jacob, summa, i mean, i mean, i mean, the 1st prison, just such a huge amount of money are found in his, in his place. and there was a sort of can meet it being quiet about it, he had to take a jealous, but it was silly guys of africa to expose that in just on making noise about this. and i think maybe in media as well. and i think so i'm a process as, as, as, as,

as now find themselves in a casting issue situation. i think his language out to be called to, to, to, to resign. cuz i think i did it so that the guns can't allow themselves to be led by such a president to has been found on numerous times to the wrong side of the law. and not really sure. i don't think that changes in anything i think of against the real audi, doubled electricity about water and sanitation about the education of their children about their unemployment. and those are material things that democracy should. ashley, at the moment we have been for almost 12 years now. consumed way, the battles of the ass and each time involves the president, dana and bat. i think i should worry us as of that a just to do the indiscretions of president of the african national congress at luna in the 1st instance that we present grandma post at the moment. and that is

what is consuming us away from the realty of that up. yet in that to our own format, to be quality and unemployment. and we have lost a lot of time and energy on this. the explosions have been reported in the southern part of the gaza strip is really forces have struck military sites in the area, mid rising tensions in the west bank. according to the israeli military, it's aircraft targeted a weapons, production facility and a tunnel. the allegedly belongs to hamas. local sources say the palestinian forces are responding with anti aircraft missiles. its outcomes, hours after rocket was shot down from the strip into sudden israel landing in an open area near the garza israel fence. no casualties were reported for those of the new stories, the shape, the weaker on our scenes, national for more on any of them. and all the latest you had it was while websites are t dot com. i'm peter scott. my be back with another log in around 30 minutes time.

ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend so join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah

ah ah, with a with a weird young for the young woman was in

a network that i was getting myself was sort of in a bundle with it. when are you with college? so glad aisha love to get a look at that. it, it, i don't live here. so it what mean they support system phone with that i see especially that. ok, so what is the best time you want to actually do that? you don't can be come up, loosened up and be a couple, or somebody mp community the p a laughing, you know, it was all like it's supposed to sound like you sort of affect it to clean if it clean to talk to smoking at them. who do what are some of us with a pretty complicated with a male. see, this is serious. i remember.
