a given joe, by imposing these sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. mister barish boomerang, ah, ah, the chinese president is set to arrive in saudi arabia for a summit. 2 balls for waging golf pies. that's both country strain relations with the u. s. leaving washington side lined with ukrainian strikes the russian city of don diaz overnight leaving at least 6 people dead. and 13 moved in. also this power decided up with the national. this is clear incitement of the end of the day. journalist then writes campaigners demand justice

for al jazeera reported shot dead by israeli forces, with a case against the idea filed at the international criminal court with good morning from moscow to wherever you may be. watching. welcome to this hour's most pressing news stories from around the globe. i'm peralez about seeking new partner is chinese presidents, easing pain, is to go on a tour to saudi arabia for a chinese arab summit with the bolstering of strategic partnerships on the discussion agenda. the visit comes amid relations between both countries and the u . s. souring over oil production and influence in the middle east are tease rachel blevins takes us through the details. a key strategic partnership and the growing

multi polar world stands to get even stronger as chinese presidents using ping visit saudi arabia for the 1st time in 6 years. while it may be a short trip, there was a lot at stake with reports noting that the plan is to sign off on nearly $30000000000.00 worth of agreements between the 2 countries. while china is saudi arabia's largest trading partner with bilateral trade nearing 90000000000 dollars last year, we can't forget about the geopolitical significance here, which is why this summit has attracted so much attention. the beijing is going into this visit, emphasizing its desire to continue to work with arab countries and citing their shared respect for sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, mutual non aggression. and most importantly, non interference in each other's internal affairs. china has always believed that there is no such thing as a power vacuum in the middle east and that the people of the middle east are the masters of the future and destiny of the region. china has always played

a constructive role in the region and never seeks any geopolitical self interest. and while they don't mention a country like the united states by name, it's no coincidence. so this summer comes just 5 months after joe biden made a visit of his own to saudi arabia, where he specifically voice concerns about leaving a power vacuum in the middle east. that could be filled by a country like china. let me state clearly the united states is going to remain active, engage partner in the middle east. we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to refilled by china. russia ram will shoot to bill on this moment with active principle. american leadership and riata appears to be just fine with finding new allies and continued tensions with washington with south africa as president even suggesting the gulf king them is considering joining the bricks alliance, which would bring it even closer to by china. and if key partner russia,

speaking of oil, it's also likely to be on the agenda as riata is beijing top supplier of crude. as her reports earlier this year, that saudi arabia was considering accepting payments and due on, well, if that does happen, it would mark the 1st time the country turns away from the petro dollar in nearly 50 years. but rather than turning the saudis into a quote pariah, as he was promised, joe biden continues your promise consequences that never seem to come to pass. gonna be some consequences for what they've done with russia. what kind of consequences manenda says suspend all arm sales? is that something you'd consider? i'm not going to get into what i'd consider what i'm have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. so i do see it as a deliberately hostile act and, and why would we have trips defending a country that that behaves this way towards us? it would expose that. but again that's, that's what they should be thinking about. the next time they decide to hurt the

united states of america in our was for years. we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has shopped up, journalists, has engaged in massive political repression. for one reason, we wanted to know that when the chips were down, when there was a global crisis, i just think it's time to admit that the saudis are not looking out for us. it appears that in the same way, saudi arabia chose to increase its ties with russia and mid warnings from the us to do the opposite. it's now falling a similar path and its relationship with china. c. this week summit is yet another sign that the multi polar world isn't just coming. it's already here. the hungarian prime minister is calling for a re evaluation of western sanctions against russia after the french liter war. and that the e. u is bearing the brunt of the economic backlash. president, emanuel micron, his rights, the cost of the russia ukraine. war is not the same on both sides of the atlantic.

if we want the european industry to survive, we must address the european energy crisis swiftly. it's high time to reevaluate sanctions. he's referring to medical talking about a, quote de synchronization of european and american interests over western anti russian sanctions. the french president said in an interview last week, quote, europe is a gas, an oil buyer. the u. s. is a producer, you don't say, did someone just fill him in because what's really mind blowing about how michael and his you allies are handling all of this? is that they know you would think that the e u needs energy from other sources, including russia, and they targeted their own energy supply from russia without a viable backup plan in place. anyway. so france and other e u countries are staring down the barrel. now at gas and electricity shortages. so now they've decided to impose oil shortages on their citizens as well with this

russian oil embargo that kicked in yesterday. the e, you granted hungry an exemption to the maritime oil sanctions hungry imports to pipeline oil from russia. but that doesn't mean that it won't be impacted anyway by oil price increases that could hit the e u. and that could happen as a result of all this jacking around with the global oil supply. now or von basically predicted this kind of chaos that the sanctions could cause when he sent back in july that the e u has quote shot itself in the lungs. but the block is willing to impose hardship on europeans in the interests of sticking it to russian president vladimir putin. so how's that working? oh, with this new e, u and g 7 price cap, and you will embargo on russian oil. well, it's russian. oil is selling at $79.00 barrel in asia this week, so far, so much for the $60.00 price cap. much like michael apparently forgot that the

e u doesn't produce energy and would pay a steep price for cutting itself off of energy. it's like that you also forgot that there's a whole world out there outside of europe and the g 7 that's buying up russian energy. while the u puts itself on an energy diet and stars, it citizens to fulfill its ideological anti prudent fantasies. a whole lot of other countries are saddling up to the energy buffet to get their fill. great, more for me, they're saying so meanwhile, europeans are paying some of the highest prices for oil in the world with just hong kong in the central african republic, paying more than you countries. the electricity costs in the you have gone up 32 percent year on year from last year. and natural gas prices in the block are 6 times higher than they were last year. here again,

the use prices are among the highest in the entire world. now it's not like the block was in warns of even more potential negative consequences. for example, here again, is a russian official reminding them of what could potentially happen to make things worse for themselves. here's the russian deputy prime minister trying to give the so called defenders of the free market a lesson in free market capitalism misunderstood considering who would consider the price count ineffective. as it blatantly interferes with market instruments and violates all the rules, i know well not going to implement such a practice and we are now working on the mechanisms for planning the price cut regardless of its established limits. we believe that such interference can lead to even greater market the stabilization. we will sell oil to countries which will work with us on the market terms, assuming unfortunately, european leaders don't really seem too interested in reason or pragmatism,

or even the free market if it was about that. and if it was about what was best for their own people and their beloved principles of freedom capitalism, everything else they would have adjusted their course long before. now instead of preparing every one here in europe for harsh winter of deepening inflation and energy crises, ah, now to the latest from russia, don bass region were ukrainian rocket attacks have left at least 6 people dead in the city of don. yes, on tuesday. that's according to local authorities. bmw the footage you see here shows the latest strikes. continuing over night. local authorities say 6 rod rockets were launched at the city by ukrainian forces. the attacks follow 3 strikes that took place on tuesday. another strike hit a local electricity sub station, leaving smoke billowing from the building as emergency services battled the place.

a local market was also had leaving it in flames. our correspondent romance casarez arrived at the scene. minutes after it was struck, sending us their report. don't ask was just sheldon again by ukrainian nationalists, we can see plumes of smoke rising, right in the center of the city will see multiple ambulances rushing to the sea. and we are also on our way there right now to find out exactly what's going on. we are right in the center of the city. looks like this, strike ukrainian artillery. i hit the markets are right here in the center of the city. fire fighters are already on the scene. there are also ambulances. i can see multiple cars that were destroyed by the police are here, the army are here as well. we still don't know whether anyone was injured, but the market is working at the moment as and as we can see, it was

a direct hit into one of the stores. it looks like it was a rocket from a multiple launch, a rocket system, a grad, a flower shop was africa. one of the cars is also on a fire. now we are afraid that it might explode at any moment, so we better step away. we still don't know whether there are there were any people inside the store, but if the war, it's hard to say. if they survived or not, please us, they are remains of the shell that sir landed right here. ah, according to locals, there were at least 10 hits, and so one of them struck that a shop. now this is the confirmations and that this is a, a shell from a multiple launch rockets system, a cold grad ukraine, nationalist continued re key arctic and indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas. i here in a don't,

that's fair. this market is very popular among of the locals. it's right in the center of the city were yet to find out whether there were any victims. the cars on fire could hear multiple explosions as probably fuel fuel tank fans. we have to get out of here. we also hear shutting continues, so a better leave this area or right now and get to safety room on call for a party donors. republic us democrats have blocked a resolution calling for an audit of the nearly 20000000000 dollars of military aids sent to ukraine in the u. s. in a u. s. house. hearing this tuesday, a law maker behind the initiative has slammed the voting results as entirely political democrats on the foreign affairs committee refused to support an audit of ukraine because they're blinded by hate for me,

and made the resolution purely political pathetic. let's get the details now from our new york corresponding kayla mop in. welcome, caleb. why are the democrats so reluctant to reveal exactly how american taxpayer dollars have been spent on ukraine? well, you're hearing marjorie taylor grange. she argues that this is a partisan political move. ready this is simply about her, but if you listened to the foreign affairs committee meeting and when they discussed this resolution in the possibility, the democrats seem to give the idea that they were open to some kind of transparency about all the money the united states has provided to a country that's been described by the new york times and other outlets is notoriously corrupt. they just seem to think that the time wasn't right. that was the argument. the democrats were using to argue that it was not time to open the

books. here's some of what we heard before, the house foreign affairs committee for transparency and accountability, but not in this resolution. not now author of this resolution who said in november 4th, if the republicans, when the majority and the election, quote, not another penny will go to ukraine, unquote. that would suggest that the sincerity behind this resolution isn't there. that what really is the agenda here is to kind of follow to ukraine, and that's why this member believes this is the wrong time to do that. so as you can see, a rather than discussing the problem of where weapons have been ending up an unanswered questions about all the mind, it's been dumped into kiev. instead, they made it a personal attack on marjorie taylor, grain the member of the us congress who put forward the resolution. but maybe

people are looking on and realizing that there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. the recent audit of the pentagon turned out all kinds of money that was on, accounted for, and that prompted a journalist to confront the department of defense representative and asked some questions about what this could indicate for ukraine. how do we know that you can keep track of an inventory is going to ukraine, that you're not sending them stuff? and then come to, you have a major short focus. you, you don't have a good enough inventory. there's going to come up as an issue simplistic right, but i don't want to give you a chance to chance to fix it. get ahead of that count ability is important here and we can always improve the ways that we do things for the pentagon and the way we are accountable to the american people. so ukraine is certainly a teachable moment for that. representatives is set to change hands in january when a new congress is sworn in republicans will have control of the lower house,

us congress. so marjorie taylor, grain and others, and indicated that they may change this policy, may be getting some answers and the flow of cash from the united states may not be as generous as it currently is. artesia new york correspondent caleb mauppin. thank you, caleb. ah, a senseless and horrific killing. that's how journalists and human rights campaigners have described. the death of al jazeera report or sharina buckley, she was shot dead in may while covering and israel military raid in the occupied west bank. the tv network has filed their request at the international criminal court, demanding idea as role in the killing is investigated and calling out israel systemic policy of targeting journalists in palestine. r t. 's, maria fin ocean, are reports and to serious legal team. working on these case says that the official request that the network submits to the international criminal court includes

a huge dossier on a comprehensive 6 month long investigation done. biology 0 that gather is all available eyewitness evidence and video footage. that all together overturn the claims by these rally authorities that the journalist was killed in the crossfire and point and said at these railey arm. and this is why alj is uri soon. a's rail charee now go off. les a 51 year old palestinian american correspondent who had been without da 0 for 25 years. was shot dead earlier in may these here a while she was covering these rally army raid toner, refugee campaign jeanine in the northern occupied west bank. and that is a war crime under article number 8 of the i. c. c's charter. i jesse re says, stressing that they now want all those responsible for sharina death to be held accountable. something that surprisingly didn't happen so far. the request also

includes other incidents of journalists to work in in palestine been under attack, and we can already say now that these case is going to be a very hard battle. shortly after the news about this submission emerged, these railey defense minister responded by saying that it was a combat scenario, adding that there is no other military in the world that operates under moral standards of the idea. and here is these rarely prime minister, a former journalist himself using even stronger words. no one will investigate idea of soldiers and no one will preach to us about morals and warfare. certainly not al jazeera. and as there is a legal team responded to that, that they are not surprised where they rarely position the hand or they expect a lot of challenges and all of obstacles on their way. but it will not stop them and it will not change their determination to achieve justice for sharing. desert cannot continue acting as it currently above the international law. and they are

responsible for this crime. even if they don't admit or they did want to cooperate with the international community or the o. c. c, we were expecting this from the start and we never expected them to even investigate. they've been unwilling from day one to investigate. and this is clear incitement at the end of the day. this is the very justification why independent justice is needed. there is a lot of criticism of the west being silent and turn a blind eye to israel's wrongdoings. and not only from the ages you're a network like in this recent case, but beyond, it is utterly utterly unconscionable that we can say on the one hand, we most and we most investigate the war crimes and atrocities of vladimir putin and remain silent as you did when you spoke beside the israeli prime minister,

i did not say a word, not a word of 70 years of ongoing crimes against humanity. do we talk about investigating the war crimes of israel? no. do we sanction israel for these crimes as we've sanctioned russia? no. and getting back to our da 0. so in israel, the network now says that is going to be a test case for the international criminal court. and we have to wait and see whether the i c. c is going to open a criminal investigation following this official request on not high in fashion brand ball and see august ad campaign has ignited a fire storm showcasing children with erie bondage themes in the campaign which is removed. now, a toddler was features standing on a pink bed holding a stuffed bear in fish, nets, sporting wrist and ankle restraints another image advertises

a lady handbag rested on a pile of u. s. supreme court documents banning the promotion of a child pornography. the fashion house immediately blamed producers filing a $25000000.00 lawsuit against them, but later dropped it. social media has been flooded with allegations of the brand promoting child abuse. yet the bulk of western media has turned a blind eye. many leading outlets such as the new york times and vogue have taken a softer stands on the issue. they point the finger at all right. leading media, accusing them of being too sensitive and blowing the case out of proportion. the former white house director of strategic communications set at an interview on a b, c that the ads add to an anti l g b t sentiment. there's a growing anti l g b t q sentiment right now, and it what, how it's being framed as, as portraying you know, trans people as groomers. this is a terminal here on the far right there. groomers,

this is where you get the anti drag queen stuff that we're seeing. so valencia to play right into their hands by having kids in a sexualized manner. let's cross live now to a host of concern to daily podcast. show all men. welcome jo. they for amazon, thank you balance. the are the apologize for the controversial ad campaign, but didn't explain why it shows to feature kids with b d. s. m. toys. will there be any repercussions following the inappropriate campaign or has the fashion house dodged the bullet? i mean, i hope they get put out of business, you know they, they want to blame things on the right wing and say there's the right wing that is creating l g, b t q. controversy. but in actuality it's the opposite. they want to whitewash this in gaslight, the american people and people around the world and act like it's no big deal. why did they put bondage on a teddy bear? why they sexualize the schools? why have they done things like putting porn in schools?

and then you guys like you've all no hurry, and here's a guy from that goes out and says, god doesn't exist. the jesus is a fairy tale. and that soon in the future they'll become gods. they talk about satanism and try to to, to put that in the school system and they want to act as if they're the victim and they're not the victim. they take a soft stance because they've been peddling it for far too long. and many of the people, regardless of whether or not they're liberal or conservative, or waking up to the idea that they don't want satanism and they don't want pet ophelia being peddled as a, something that's normal, it's not normal. is her moving the ad sufficient at this point? no, i think they didn't go out of business. and look, it's a harsh reality. you see all the things that we are reading about every single day and the things that they're doing. and it's hard for them to sit there and tell us that they're not trying to normalize to feel your normalized of things that are considered se tannic yet they put it right in your faces and they want to blame

each other for it. and then act is like, all is forgiven. it's not forgiven. you can't walk around and create somebody had to approve that at both the lat bella go. they had to approve it. so they approved it. it got through the entire system. they had to go through quality control and it made it all the way through that out into the public. and then they went to act like it was an accident is somebody else's fault. the fashion house was so quick to see the marketing company, but then made a huge you turn, dropping the case. why do you think that is? you know, i think that is, and this is just me, from a faith standpoint. i think the st and over places and he thought that maybe this is something you'll be normalized for as far enough down the path of being normalized that they would test the waters and they were testing on a brand that, that they thought that it would be accepted in and it wasn't. and people in this country, people around the world are sick and tired of them trying to shove their, their deviant ideologies down our throat. if they want to be deviant, they go, be deviant for making public mainstream while they're actually adverse effect. in

kids and peddling this stuff for kids is absolutely a poor and, and frankly, it should cost every one of them, their jobs and cost them their company and they should all be put out of business. it seems like the go to is to call somebody a right wing conspiracy theorists. why do you think so many media outlets immediately push that outcry? because it's the, it's the mockingbird. media it is, they have created an entire ca, ball regime of people that are, that are parodying the same thing over and over and over again. they are trying to normalize things in our society that just a few years ago, most people would have been out publicly. there been a public outcry. they are even discussed as being normal. but today, because of the pandemic and because of the things that they've been able to to do under the guise of normalcy. like critical race theory, grouping kid putting pornography in an elementary school's telling people that they

woke up one day a girl and tomorrow their boy which is absolutely nonsense. and they, they want to create an environment where they, they want to make normal, bad, and bad. normal, if this truly is a fight between good and evil, when it comes to the infringement of minority rights, when it comes to sexuality, it seems that's all over the media. the latest being in the world cop. why has this story in contrasts gotten such little media attention? well, it's the same reason why the twitter files didn't get a whole lot of media attention where you had government entities there were interfering and elections in the united states. and they were doing so by, by weaponized in media and weaponized technology and social media company. and they lied about that too. they said it's no big deal. let's move past it. this is old news. the 100 by the laptops are not old news, nor is the corruption and the amount of, of misdeeds by government officials over the last few decades just now coming to

light. so every time they're caught with their pants down quite literally, or they're caught in a compromising situation, they want to explain it away as if it's no big deal. it's nothing burger but it really is. and that just shows you just how corrupt and how misguided and frankly evil, the media in the united states has become concerns have also been raised as well. from what you mentioned, the, the people who work in the fat for the fashion brand. one of these people has been us and vice president call harris is granddaughter. what do you say about that? right. surprise, right. birds with feather flock together. you know like they've, they've done so much to harm the american people in the craig. ready instability, are you really surprised that the, the vice president of the country has his her granddaughter or daughter operating within this environment? i don't think so. i don't, i don't think it's a coincidence just like the anthony felt. his daughter,

working at twitter during the pandemic, was a coincidence either. thank you very much. that was coast of concert of daily podcast show. altman, thanks for having me. god bless you. and those were the top new stories for this. our former news and coverage had over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey gab and rumble. thanks for tuning and we'll see you back next hour. ah, ah, ah ah
