is mr. wilson, this is cassandra scott houston office to pick up that were still a to past half could littleton stern. i'm pregnant when i live in or you know, one of them 11. i think it's an opposite. ah, members of opec plus report to leave mold further, oil production cooks that says russia says it won't export for those countries observing the use price comp. and in this week's top stories, the commission chief delete supposed claiming that 100000 ukrainian offices have been killed in the walk, a figure around 10 times higher than that released by ukraine. officials back in august 100 together to protest against the release of the convicted murderer of a south african unseat of hawkeye icon is while some processes have to say about his release. andrew, i'm coming yet to demonstrate our disappointment. south africa must bend up july to

august, mostly lane, on south africa as president faces growing corruption allegations were the national parliament consider whether to begin an impeachment process against him with thank you for joining us for the weekly here on the international. i'm peter scott to bring you some of the top stories from the week just gone. welcome to the program. let's begin with the latest news because hungry has accused the you of economic self hom, by announcing a price cut on russian oil. thus is budapest itself remains exempt from the 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 e u. g 7 states and australia confirmed intentions to introduce

a $60.00 per barrel top on russian oil. moscow though, has repeatedly stated that it won't supply crude prices below market value. the cap comes in force on monday along with the embargo on seaborne russian oil with the revision plan for mid january, although that will need a unanimous vote to be approved. you states have said they believe the measure will help stem inflation on stabilize oil prices. europe claims the measure will hit the russian budgets and help bring the war in ukraine's an end. but kim has criticized the move, demanding that russian oil becomes as low as $30.00 per barrel. meanwhile, moscow has thrown condemned to move. i will attend the opec 1st meeting on sunday to discuss the next steps for the world's oil produces are to contribute to rachel . marston 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

e use russian oil ban 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. um, 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 ha 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 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 . 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 cap. 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 hood reject the budget revenues for 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 virtue signaling tax on themselves for their own energy supply. yet another stunning achievement for the big brain bureaucrats in brussels. knockout

stage of the world cope in kit saw has just begun with one of the favorites germany already on their way home. now, after they failed to even make the round after a disappointing performance outside of a dismal performance, german play as attracted attention by covering their mouths during a team photo as the tournament begun to suggest a protest against, sorry, homosexuality laws had been silenced. geminus interior minister also claim because i was responsible for human rights abuses. guests on cathartic television were pictured waving. the germans seemed good by unlocking their protest. ah, although the food or katara funds also displayed pitches all former german squad to play him as it was ill who quit, the national team ought to claim in the country. it was racist and his treatments

of people with turkish roots and they were the only ones disappointed with the german seems approached to the torments back in berlin. joan funds are angry that their players seem to put politics over performance. but definitely this would of course, distract the team. this is a very probable reason. of course, it's a lot of stress. they 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. we only managed to turn this into a political discussion. earlier we spoke tickets are a political economy especially start to holiday alpharetta who thinks that germany has no right to legit. doha, 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. these issues are more motivated by the basis in 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 more with advice, marco c, or by racism, or by supremacy or whatever, or by political or economic or objective or to impose your culture on other nations . and discrimination is implemented amongst even their own citizen, based on the descendant origin race problems. and these allegations, by the way, against is losing debility. now, i'm being counter productive and the more attention and more people to the top. and they discover the contrary to these keys ation, so it's actually serving us way. in the meantime,

germany said to receive supplies of good, sorry, liquified natural gas after 2 agreements assigned covering at least a 15 year period. these agreements are mentors for several of them on the 1st long term, and then g supply agreement to germany with a supply period that extends for at least 15 years. this consisted, contributing to germany, long term energy security. they also represent a combination of between the 2. it's the bottom energy. and if it is a little many years to provide the reliable, incredible energy supply solutions to customers across the globe. and to the 2 gentlemen and uses the deal, which is the 1st obvious kind for europe will provide germany with $2000000.00 tons of l. n. g annually. and americans, subsidiary company, is also part of the dealing will be responsible for delivery of the fuel that you have a chance. let's welcome the agreements as billing has been struggling to replace impulse from russia. does. a colleague of the again says that germany needs guitar

. the doha has equally important partners elsewhere to do business with. sooner or later, this country will strike a deal because jeremy is in need of energy and the need to diversify good sources of energy and kind of provide reliable sustain with source of energy. in the meantime, i want also to secure long term contracts in order to generate income. today is the economy. i think the country will shine in the future, but this sort of not sure this will not solve the short term issue. as you cries in germany or you're just trying to think to sign a deal with that with the with the fact that i'm jeremy is in the sooner or later they are in nice. i you cannot depend on when i think it's the mature, even try and longer term with, with asia when it gets from jeremy is 15. he is mostly contracted with over

2022 decades. and even over it's been known, got 360 with, with china with the 7 news. so i'm not surprised when the headline from the world copes punish funds, flew the flag of ukraine's far right. as all the battalion during the countries much with germany, the banner was subsequently complicated by fi for representatives and isa ali brings is more focused on or been saying, go through this wall cup it. i wouldn't say the foot will being overshadowed by issues off the field, but certainly them taking a more prominent role not by accident, perhaps with the western media seeking to use this wild card as a bullhorn for promoting their own causes. and in that latest episode of control, to see if you've 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. 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 as a 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 stands, i hope they will apologize. and finally study the real history of the issue,

not according to the kremlin back media. now those claims might ring hollow. one looks at the history of this particular football player. romans, australia is taking the social media before to praise the battalion. he's posted pigs 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 the 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 for who and the broader. and while 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 fall right, beliefs that he holds on to. now, of course, at this time fif, i've managed to stop the waving of that neo nazi flag in coordination with the organizers and the security at the stadium. they to been kept busy by other issues . for example, iranian riots as the supporters of the riots as 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, specially ahead of that iran usa game later on. now the news this week russian forces gave odyssey and exclusive demonstration of that tornado rocket launcher in action on the phone lines. ah,

less than 2 minutes. the system can apparently identify a target, transmit the coordinates and open fire is been used to fight back against ukrainian attacks, such as fridays in done yet, which left at least 5 people dead and a dozen more wounded. don bus for line is seen the heaviest fighting, particularly near the city of char mosque. russian forces have ramped up the offensive in the area this week, and it comes as you can. the military suffers heavy casualties. a story covered by western mainstream media outlets with the new york times reporting an unending stream of ukrainian casualties that local hospitals just this week 240 when the soldiers were reported admitted in just one day. and this comes amid a rift between cube and brussels over the ukrainian armies, death toll or to you, chief of on the lion claim that ukraine had lost $100000.00 offices. the staggering figure was later dismissed by keith, whose officials insisted that the information is classified. it is estimated that

more than $20000.00 civilians and more than 100000 ukrainian military officers have been killed so far was you just heard the parents slip of the tongue of the chief, the she only mentioned the offices as casualties. however, the video which was posted on twitter, was edited several minutes later with the parts about casualties removed. and on the commission's official website, the text of the statement now has those parts edited out as well. and he, you spokesperson later claimed the death toll figure was inaccurate. i think it was obtained from unnamed external sources, author and war correspond. thomas roper thought of such a huge figure. if true could be a blow to key f. 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, 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 there are 100000 soldiers dead or new commission just officially said they are lying with gotten ukraine while i was there several times. and i think the estimation of 100000 is quite correct. um, the problem is you have to see if its one or a 1000 really dead. you cried in soldiers. i think we have an additional 200000 wounded soldiers, which means altogether losses of something that if we have a 1000, this is the number of ukranian army before the russian intervention. this will be a catastrophe. it means that you create your cradles just blotting out ah, that it is weak. hundreds of people gather to protest. the expected release of the murder of a south african unsee apartheid leader demonstrates his voice, the outrage outside the prison where the polish conveyed uranus moses is currently

being held ending release was can they said for the 1993 murder of anti apartheid ice base, cris honey, outside the victim's home. andrew, i'm coming here to demonstrate our disappointment and also our demand for an inquest on the keeping of casino. why do i also doing it today is due at the end of millions of so that we can do i did that by what the zip in south africa must bend up, dilute who are losing, must remain here, is not due to police, are government, they must do something, please. i am here to show my support to the christian family, to the se, cbt into the amc and to the south african population in general. who believe that disobey, unfortunately, den unfair that johnny's release is released on powell. we're just days before his scheduled release, chris, on his murder. it was stopped in prison. he's been behind bars for 3 decades now.

in the course, decision to free him has stood up some painful memories. ortiz trouble at le pixel . the story ya, new swallows is said to have been stabbed in his cell y, one of the inmates, and he has subsequently been rushed to hospital. the statement by the correctional services says that there was an unfortunate fare being incident and the sentiment that is really grabbing south africa on twitter and other social media platforms is why was the word unfortunate used as part of that statement of the 729 years in prison for killing south african communist parties, general secretary cris honie, the countries i ask, what has grunted parole to polish immigrant? yeah, new swallows. one of the issues at the knob of were, loses released from prison is that he must serve the rest of his parole conditions here in south africa. and was given

a permanency residence by the minister of home affairs in order to keep him here. part of the deal is that he cannot use his polish passports or his identity in order to leave the country. chris honey was considered by many as the natural successor to nelson mandela and a radical who would have brought much need a change to south africa. that judgment has seemingly opened up old woods cause i know for us you will never die. cause i never presented aspirational with people's liberation. you as a fighter for people who have rolled out a program to protest this thing to show our displeasure. and we're taking other legal steps and going forward so that this decision as can be reversed. we will, we, are, we just coming out of the me to consulting them, our lawyers. and we've been in touch with them over the last few days to see how to take up this meta illegal. because what was done was treated arrogantly by the

constitutional court, which, by the way, we want to cushion them in the seat of the constitutional court. when you pass judgments, when, who passed just the, the humbling this sincere respect for them by the we saw our organs authoritarianism, disdainful mis, disrespect at obit charges, basically same. we are in charge. that's absolutely nonsensical. and you don't just have to take the words of his comrades, chris, honey, was a man loved by the people, your zip cottage, amman, yours or not to morrow fall? or is there man of dignity? is there a fighter for something that you want to achieve? the returns of the generation, the understood you manage, you understood, south africans yet a figure black may shoot. you understood it exactly what. what is it that we wonder? does it take this man as a sure soldier? does a soldier admin any dies simple 5. even now we still shocked about date,

because if you are correct, you are supposed to be a president. of course you are fighting for the rights for many the decision to release your news while loose on payroll leaves a bitter taste of injustice and even resentment. because he has never come clean about his motives or the people involved in his crime. for the honey family, this is a bitter pill to swallow. use conky, she finished. why this country? if i can come to someone who can get my to my husband, i don't read you had suddenly said to my family to myself, to my time ended charlotte henderson. so you probably think over today chris, honey remains a hero, not only in south africa, but beyond. and if south africa was robbed of nelson mandela by a politics, then you lose were loose and his co conspirators rubbed the country of its future

cannibal. it had to have a lot of heat in johannesburg and staying in south r, garrison probe reveals to the south african president. so rum officer may have broken anti corruption laws. and this comes in the wake of a multi $1000000.00 money laundering scandal. and independent panel accusing him of similar crimes. according to the accusations, the president aided in covering up a $4000000.00 theft from his farm back in 2020 some $580000.00 of which was subsequently found beneath his sofa cushions. the south african leader has denied all the allegations and insists he earned the money. legally. ma confirming robbie took place. he said the amount stolen was much smaller than that alleged. earlier we spoke to south african locals who have mixed reactions to the story. who got a lot of tricks, which has we have with every chin every month, my friend in or so. the question is, how do i pretty darn, they don't get the tricks. you put the money in these brought,

you know his places. so why come from deadman does a question? i'm not personally thing that a preston. moscow. i test one dead, 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. i'm saying, not only the president, how do keep de sac money and i do your carpet and then you expect people not to keep that money out of their cab rama was a, she says she just continued to be a political so lovely because this not allocate the dis, disney that, that, that, that, that, that, that report is not, it's not a final report. what doesn't they say they said maybe if you just that person, if you're such a person, just say you are, i've something to say, no, i am telling the president because of this and business. so it does know that that,

that, that, that was no charge from a, for his case, has divided south african society with san de money his resignation. while others claim that there are more pressing problems for the country to deal with. then tom sam opposite is wiped. many minnesota africans accused a consumer being i think syrup with a spar, much risk and, and, and then jacob's humor. i mean, i mean, i mean, he's the 1st president of such a huge amount of money are found in his, in his place, and we sort of can meet it being quiet about it. he had to take a jealous, but he was silly as of africa to expose that and to start making noise about this. and i believe maybe in media as well. and i think so, i'm a precise as, as, as, as, as now find himself in accustomed to situation. i think his luggage out to be called to, to, to, to resign. cuz i think i did it sort of con con, allowed themselves to be led by such a president to, has been found on numerous times to on the wrong side of the law. i'm not really sure. and i don't think that changes in anything. i think of, of,

against really our doubled electricity about water and sanitation about the education of their children about their unemployment. and those are material things that democracy. she's actually at the moment. we have been for almost 12 years, consumed way the battles of the as and each time involves the president and bat, i think, issued. why he asked, as of that, a test to do. he did you discretions over president of the african national congress that resume in the 1st instance and that we presume drama post at the moment. and that is what is consuming us away from the real things that have to get in there to our own for let me quality and unemployment. and you have lost a lot of time in is you in the states and finally explosions have been reported in the southern parts of the gaza strip. is really forces have struck military

sites in the area amid rising tensions in the west bank. according to the israeli military aircraft targeted a weapons production facility under allegedly belonging to hamas. local sources say the palestinian forces are responding with until aircraft missiles and the attack comes hours after iraq. it was shot from the strip into southern israel landing in an open area. niddy garza israel fence. no casualties were reported. ah, well, that's all for now. be sure to check out our tea dot com for the latest breaking news and updates must see right back here at the top of the hour. thank you for watching. with l. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people.

a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is a conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust, rather than fear. i would like to take on various job with artificial intelligence . real. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with a, with

a follies timothy, just like a kind of thrash. nice thought it got you about it out all because people get the car and you also check you on a banana russia and i thought when your mind understand, shall i intravenous. now that you will no longer with a digital.
