alyssa, as any big ursula, go that they tracy's kitchen. derek caston open till she comes to that. we're still a to past african little things. don't crowded. lynette women are, you know, one of them. 11. i think it's in office of ah, members of opec plus reports to lead mo, further oil production codes. that's, as russia says, they won't export to those countries observing these price capt. on this week's top stories, the commission chief to leave supposed claiming 100000 ukrainian offices have been killed in the war. the figure around 10 times higher than that's released by ukrainian officials back in august hundreds gather to protest against the release of the convicted murderer. of a south african onto the icon is work some of those processes how to say about release every one penny yet to demonstrate our disappointment,

south africa must bend up dilution. williamson with south africa's president faces growing corruption allegations with the national parliament to consider whether to begin an impeachment process against him with sunday. and that means is the weekly here on our t minus peter scott's on harris from the top stories from the week. just gone. welcome to the program. we start off with so much news hungry has accused the you of economic self hom, by announcing a price cup on russian oil. this 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. that reaction came as the u. d. 7 states and australia confirmed intentions to introduce

a $60.00 per barrel cap on russian oil. moscow, though, has repeatedly stated that he won't supply crude arts prices below market value. the cap comes in force on monday along with the u. embargo on seaborne russian oil with a 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. unstable lies oil prices or europe says that the measure will hit the russian budget and help bring the war in ukraine to an end. but kia has criticized the moved amending russian all the counts as low as $30.00 per barrel. meanwhile, moscow stoney condemned to move and will attend the opaque plus meeting on sunday to discuss the next steps for the world's oil produces archie, 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 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. 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 in 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 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 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 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 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 use 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 for january to september higher than expected . they increased 10 percent compared to the same period last year of approach 20 trillion roubles. 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 signalling tax on themselves for their own energy supply. yet another stunning achievement for the big brain bureaucrats in brussels. the

knockout stage of the football. well, coping guitar has just begun with one of the favors germany already on their way home. after failing to make even the round outside of a dismal performance. jim and players attracted attention by covering their mouths during a team photo as the tournament begun, suggest a protest against could, sorry, homosexuality laws had been silenced. germany's in 30 minutes also claim could. i was responsible for human rights abuses. guests on cathartic television were pitch . it waving the germans seem goodbye and mocking their original protest. ah, although both good, sorry, funds also displayed pitches of former german squad, player methods whose ill, who quit the national team after claiming the country was racist. and his treatments of people with turkish roots. and they weren't the only ones

disappointed with the german seems approached the tournament back in berlin. german funds are angry that their players seem to fall to politics over performance. 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 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 cup. they're only thinking about football. we only managed to turn this into a political discussion. earlier, we spoke to could, sorry, political economy especially start to college. alpharetta is things that germany has no right to like to 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 done. the certifications are more motivated by the supremacy and the 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 good bias, marco c or by racism or by september seat or whatever or by other political or economic or objective, or to impose your culture on other nations and discrimination is united amongst even their own citizen based on this and is it the descendant origin race problem? and these allegations, by the way, against that is losing debility now is being counter productive and the more attention and more people to the dominant and they are discovering the contrary to these is ition. so it's actually serving us way. in the meantime, germany said to receive supplies of guitar, liquefied natural gas of the 2 agreements were signed 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 continues to come for everything to germany, is long term energy secured. they also presents a combination of between the 2, rusted bottoms, butler energy and concur for many years to provide the reliable kind of energy supply solutions to customers across the globe. and to the 2 gentlemen and use the deal, which is the 1st of its times for europe, will provide germany with $2000000.00 tons of l. n. g annually. and americans, subsidiary companies, also parts of the deal and will be responsible for delivery of the fuel. the german chancellor, welcome the agreement as berlin has been scrambling to replace imports from russia, but to lead to again says the jimmy needs guitar. but though 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 sources of energy and kind of provide the reliable source of energy. in the meantime, i thought was also just a few long term contracts in order to genetic income today is in the budget by it's the economy. i think the 2 countries will sign in the future, but this is not short. this will not solve the short term issue as your project 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 meet sooner or later. you know, they are in need. 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 that get some jeremy use 50 and he is mostly constructed there. would you say

over the 2020 or 2 decades and even over it's been known, got 360 with, with china. that's what the 7 years. so i'm not surprised. another headline from the world cup. spanish funds flew the flight of ukraine's as all bits on the in, during the countries much with germany. the banner was subsequently confiscated by fi for representatives. if ali brings us more from the top 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 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 the a since deleted. praising at the as of 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 rioters or 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. so forces have given oxy an exclusive demonstration of the tornado rocky launching action on the front lines. ah, in less than 2 minutes the system can apparently identify a target,

transmit the coordinates, an open fire has been used to fight back against ukrainian attacks, such as those on friday in done yet, which left at least 5 people dead and a dozen more wounded. the don bus for line is seeing the heaviest fights in particular. the city of shaw must russian forces have run from the offensive in the area this week. and it comes as the ukrainian military stuff is heavy casualties. a story covered by western mainstream media outlets with the new york times reporting on ending stream of ukrainian, kansas is that local hospitals just this week, around 240 when the soldiers were reportedly admitted in one day. and this comes amid a rift between keith and brussels over the ukraine armies, actual death toll after you chief us live on the line and claim that ukraine has lost $100000.00 quote. military officers. the staggering figure was dismissed by keith, whose officials insisted that such information was classified. it is estimated that more than 20000 civilians and more than 100000 ukrainian military officers

have been killed so far. as he just heard the an apparent slip of the tongue, the chief mentioned only offices as casualties over the video which was posted on twitter was edited several minutes later with the reference removed. and on the commission's official website, the text of the statement has also been edited and he use spokesperson later claimed the death or figure was inaccurate. and it was obtained from a named external sources. author, a war correspondent, thomas roper, told us to such a huge figure if true would be a tremendous blow for 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

they're talking to ukraine? so we have 2 possibilities. either. there are 100000 soldiers dead, or you 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 a, you have to see if it's 100000 really dead. you cried in 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 ukranian army before the rush intervention. this will be a catastrophe. it means that you credit ukraine's just blotting out ah, earlier this week, hundreds of people gather to protest the expected release of the murder of a self african anti apartheid icon demonstrates his voice, the outrage outside the jail where polish comrades janice, will says, is currently being held and being released was imprisoned for going down south africa's communist party, the cris honey in 931 year before the country's 1st motivational alexis avenue. i'm

coming here to demonstrate our disappointment and also our demand for an quest on the kidney with, cuz i'm, what do i also doing here today is due at the end of millions of so that they're going to, i dictated by what the zip in south africa must bend up, dilute who are losing, must remain here, is not good to police, are government. they might do something please. for hours on here to show my support. the keys hunting funny to the is a c p into the amc and to the south african population in general. who believed that disobey. unfortunately, den unfair that johnny's loose is at least don powell will just days before his scheduled release values. his was stopped in prison, he's been behind bars for 3 decades and the course decisions are free. m a set up,

some painful memories. artes probably sadler makes up 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 chris honey. the countries highest court 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. because i never presented aspirational with people's liberation. he was a fighter for our people who have rolled out a program to protest this thing to show our displeasure and were taken either legal steps or going forward. what i did this decision i can be request, we will we are we just coming out of a meeting consulting with 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 caution them in the seat of the constitutional courts where you pass

judgments when, who passed just the humbling this sincere respect for them. by the we saw our organs, authoritarianism, disdain, fullness, disrespect, or bit 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 you are the cutter german. yours they're not to. monro far rose their men of dignity. is there a fighter for something that you want to achieve? the returns of the generation? he understood you manage you understood. soft has yet a figure, black nation. he 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. yeah. lose. why lose 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. you skunky, she finished. why? this country? if i can come to school today, my to my friend, i don't read you had suddenly said to my family to myself to my towing ended charla and her son. 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 party, then you lose were loose and his co conspirators robbed the country of its future cannibal. it has have a lot of tea in johannesburg, staying with south africa,

recent prob, reveals that the countries presidents may have broken anti corruption laws. this comes in the wake of a multi $1000000.00 money laundering scandal. an independent panel accusing sir, are foes of similar crimes. calling to the accusations, the president helped to cover up a $4000000.00 theft from his farm back in 2020 some $580000.00 of which was subsequently found beneath the sofa cushions the south african leader has denied all the allegations and he says he has the money legally, ma confirming a robbery did take place. he said the amount stolen was much smaller than that alleged earlier. we spoke to some south african locals who have mixed reactions to the allegations who got a lot of tricks, which i will believe every chin every month, my friend dinner. so the question is that the wire pretty don't, they don't get the tricks. you put the money in these brought, you know, his places. so why come from deadman does the 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 throughly, even over the management to get i'm saying, not only the president, how do keep this such money and i do your carpet and then you expect people not to keep that mind me outside the cover. i'm up was a who for, for just continued to be able to know so lovely because there's not alligator does this thing that, that, that, that, that, that badly. what is not, is not a far report. what does it, they say they said, maybe if you're not that person, if you're not the person, just say you're, 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 there's no charge and that the case has divided south africa with some demanding the presidents resignation. while others claim that there are more

pressing issues to deal with. i think president, i'm sam. opposite is wipes. many, many significant accused a consumer being, i think, sir up with a spar much risk than, than jacob's humor. i mean, i mean, he's 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 because of africa to expose that and to start making noise about this. and i think maybe in media as well, i think so i'm a precise as, as, as, as, as now find himself in a casting issue situation. i think he's now which out to be called to, to, to, to resign. could 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 on the wrong side of the law and not really sure. and i don't think that changes in anything. i think of, of, against really out about electricity, about water or sanitation about the education of their children about their

unemployment. and those are material things that democracy should actually, at the moment we have been for almost 12 years, consumed way the battles of the as and each time you do watch the president and bat, i think it's rude. why do you ask? as of that, a test to do the discretions of president of the african national congress. lima in the 1st instance, that we presume drama post at the moment. and that is what is consuming us away from the real things that have to get into to our own 4. let me quote it unemployment and you have lost a lot of time and energy the states. oh, well, explosions have been reported in the southern part of the palestinian gaza strip. thus after these really minutes you said the fighter jets had struck targets in retaliation for miss our launch from gaza. the previous nights israel claimed its

aircraft targeted a weapons production facility on a tunnel belonging to the militant group. hamas focus also say the palestinian forces responded with anti aircraft missiles on saturday. iraq, it was shot from the strip into sudden israel landing in an open area near the gaza israel fence. no casualties were reported though. ah, well, that's the route for now. whatever you're up to this weekend, i hope you having a good one. my name is peter scott, me back in a 30. you stay tuned from all great programs put up there with

me. hello, welcome to wells party a few days ago and the merriam webster dictionary selected gas lighting as its worth of the year for 2020 to defining it as the act of practice or grossly misleading someone, especially for one's own advantage. and notice that the usage of the sport increased by over $1700.00 per south throughout the year. that's the job politics have anything to do with it. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by the income i kinda had visiting lecture in law at the university of westminster. mister making that is great to talk to you. thank you very much for renting at this time. thank you for having me. now let me 1st of all ask you about this very curious phenomenon of gas lighting and it's increased popularity both as

a worth and i assume as a, as a phenomenon in english speaking countries. and i stress, specifically english speaking country because for example, in the russian language we don't have such and such a word or an idea. there is a concept of why there is a concept of truth, but nothing in between. what does it tell you about social relations, social changes that this kind of phenomenon seems to be taking on such a prominence? well, i think it goes beyond the politics. i think it, it tends to be a modus operandi with established government. so tended to operate can see this in, in regards to, you know, big events, things to do with the iraq war, things to do with the, the clash of cultures. so culture in america.
