since we're not at all, not a people for me, it's time to move on and see what we tend to fall. the chunk of said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination. high commission of virginia, united nish, i don't care about chug or send people ah, our headline stories this hour. another twist in the dispute between russia, the over and natural gas supplies. i was moscow responding to the west price account by designating its own value for the come on its 8 like them. sometimes our colleagues and partner surprised me with their unprofessional decisions. now they don't know how to get out of this position and are trying to regulate gas prices as well. a incredible footage as a massive delays or reps other major gas storage facility in the north african nation of morocco have made

a series of explosions with the u. s. denies violating international law after the world trade organization in favor of hong kong and a commercial dispute. between washington and the chinese region, this with i for moscow, this is our teeth. my name's unit o'neill, 30 minutes of news abuse start. now we begin with the latest in the ukraine conflict to people have reportedly been wounded in a car explosion in the center of melick topple city according to local authorities . this video shows the burned shell of the vehicle. melick topple is located in the russian controlled parts of things up at rogia region. the explosion was announced by local official flooding, mirror gulf who heads the we are together with russia movement earlier this month

in the same city. 2 people were killed when kia forces shell, a holiday counter. moscow house responded to a western imposed price cap for a russian natural gas supplies by saying it will set its own value for the commodity to be sold. that is not a mere putin also said he's repeatedly warn the you of the possible consequences of metals and policies. yes. and then this is in general, you know, sometimes our colleagues and partner surprise me with their unprofessional decision . soon after all, at one time it was the european commission that imposed on us the transition to so called market pricing for gas. and we persuaded them, i personally did this, we persuaded them in brussels not to do this, said that the gas market does not work this way go, it will lead to serious consequences to a search and prices yet. this happened right now was now they don't know how to get out of this position with that and are trying to regulate gas prices as well.

russia accuses the u. s. and other western actors of attempting to artificially manipulate the international market. new russian legislation freeze the state gas export or gas problem from fulfilling obligations under foreign contracts. if they violate national guidelines, the specifics of moscow price designation are to be determined by the end of next week. what president putin also at some forceful criticism for the u. s, which he said has long been trying to undermine the post soviet world, including by exerting influence over ukraine. earlier my colleagues, re sushi on, donal quarter, discuss the russian leaders stark assessment with russia scholarly movement. and we now say the u. s. as directly involved in the conflict. the, the u. s. has been dealing with this for a long time. it's been involved in trying to undermine us an influence ukraine since soviet times. our opponents have always tried to divide us easily and then

tried to manage the separate parts. i'm getting nothing new here that the idea of ukrainian separatism was born a long time ago. well, the russian president of course, spoke a lot about how the a west was trying to stoke the flames of nationalism and ukraine. long before the soviet union even collapsed. but the russian president also spoke a lot about the russian economy. of course, he said that it's fair to a lot better than many people in the west had predicted back in march in february of this year despite predictions that russian g d. p would fall by double digits. it's only actually fallen by 2.5 percent. and on top of that, indicators connected to unemployment and inflation have been kept very low as well . as lucas's economy kit that's for the economy despite to predict, to collapse devastation and catastrophe. none of the kinds has happened here. moreover, russia's indicators are much better than many g, 20 countries. this applies to the main macroeconomic indicators like g d p. yes,

there is a slight drop. i said earlier that the drop is 2.9 percent according to international experts, but now it's less 2.5 percent. one of the main indicators around the world is the unemployment rate for us. it is at a lower level than before. the pandemic back. danny was 4.7 percent. now it is 3.8 percent. our labor market is stable, our financial market is stable. i thought that one of the interesting thing said, don, during this press conference was a one of the, one of the questions from a member of the press. what was i? he asked, is russia running out of miss aisles and the conflict in ukraine, but also, ah, certain western partners and ukraine who are fighting russia they, are they running out of weapons as well? a, quite a lot was said about rushes. defense industry wasn't it? right. and it was also discussed alongside at one question that another journalist asked regarding the possibility of the u. s. supplying the key of regime with patriot missile systems. this is something that vladimir putin said, ok,

let the west do that. because the patriot missile systems already outdated and it would take such a long amount of time for american troops or whoever to train ukrainian troops on how to use that. but in terms of the weapons stockpiles, like you were talking about before vladimir putin said, there is a huge difference between the ukrainian defense industry and the russian one. because while key halves soviet basically, mainly soviets as weapons stockpiles, they're actually already on the brink of running out while moscow has plans to actually increase its own stockpiles in the near future. who did know where he was suitable in january rush, we'll have a new frigate in combat service with new weapon systems. we're not being provocative, but this will strengthen our strategic forces. despite these being medium range systems, their speed characteristics give us an advantage. as for the patriot systems, they are old and do not work in the same way as our s 3 hundreds. but nevertheless,

those who oppose us consider the patriots as defensive weapons. well, okay, we'll just keep that in mind. and there will always be an antidote. those who do this are only prolonging the conflict. our goal is not to prolong the military conflict, but on the contrary to end this, we strive for this and we will continue to strive for this it approach to virginia . now that was another very important moment. we just heard, there putin emphasizing once again that russia wants to see an end to this war. this is something we've heard reiterated by russian officials for a long time. now they say that the west is to blame for this conflict being drawn out because it's given a blank check when it comes to weapons and munitions to the key of regime. putin also said that this policy basically directly directly contradicts what the russian government wants for both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution. yeah, interesting point. there was that as we just heard, rushes gdp declined this year and only a fraction really of what had been predicted due to the slew of western sanctions.

our t spoke with belgian independent journalist luc river essays. the use economy has suffered more than moscow from its own sanctions. gus, what we were told by the germans, by the french, by our leaders in the west and our sanctions when necessary to branca, of russia to we sneezed, but we are all armies. energy wise, it is the situation missed. hannibal, we had mine a stand last week for us. it's a terrible winter. i mean he rushes minus that is quite frequent. but here people start to realize that we had a huge problem of energy, no fuel, no gas, no, no one, no, no solutions for, for oil. oh, within a month on m, long term solutions, not before years from now our economies in tatters everywhere. i mean factories closing, the cost of life is increasing. we have for 10 percent, 12 percent inflation. we can't get energy. this is terrible and they don't have an

answer on. so our economy in countess and rushes seems to do well. ok to africa. we're a major gas storage facility near morocco's atlantic coast has burst into flames amid a series of explosions, no casualties have been reported as of not ah, fire fighters are said to have contained that blaze this friday and i media in the country report a ghastly could have caused the fire on the scenes were witnessing. there are concerns about other flammable materials being kept up the facility to at speaking to the program earlier on this local journalist. sorry it'll up we all know them. maybe i get storage facility goes up in flames. today and there is a lot of footage they put in, shared online shows

a huge plains and to get poor reduced in the city near the port where a gas and other flood ball materials are toward this storage. it's close to people and every families and citizens living near the facility have waited. the surrounding people are here in the explosion so far as far away about 10 kilometers . so it's very terrifying and it's very, it's very dangerous. ok, some news coming into us from india, we're more than a dozen people have been reported killed after a truck carrying army personnel fell into a gorge in the northeastern state of 2nd. according to local media, at least 16 officers and soldiers lost their lives on another 4 were injured. know the accident happened when the driver lost control of the vehicle was trying

to negotiate a steep turn at delivery, then get it done, a hill. the truck was part of a 3 vehicle con boy, the injured soldiers helping ur lifted to a nearby hospitals. at 2 africa, we go now a diplomatic mission from ghana has met with per quino fossil leader. and then the attempt to resolve differences between the 2 near bring west african countries. controversy arose following allegations from the gun, the in president who alleged there were links between why could do whose government on russia's wagner griff local correspondence. and louis long takes up the story for us. it's a high level delegation. we've minutes of the great gun at the head that the, when the one that do the goal was to present the official excuse of present for i do to captain you by him. tell me for accusing possible to host

a wash and province to group to group wagner. that was last week in washington dc, getting a meeting with the secretary of state anthony blinkin. booking phosphorus has not entered into an arrangement to go along with molly inclined to pass on our 4 5th, which i have them operating on on mobile is particularly distressing for often gun was the uncle for those said publicly that looking at fossil has an agreement to ice, there's not a group to operate my goal in the sample book, you know, as it is that so it cold in the relation between the 2 countries with the we'll see what got to know after the accusatory claims, finally began the unprecedented per keno fall. so since a verbal note of protest and some of the country, some foster church demanding an explanation. while the thunder of the wagner

private military group responded with some sarcastic remark, were present in 80 percent of african countries. we illegally mine 50 percent of gold and diamonds in africa. we organized military coups every year. we are the american state departments. we are the french government. we are western countries and their special services led by the ca. now ask for wagner's wagner will decide for itself where to be one thing i can say for sure, wagner does not develop mines, does not mine gold and does not engage in other economic projects. so that we won't have to resist sanctions and other financial restrictions. we asked some burkina faso residents for their opinion on the visit of the gun, the in delegation. they say that i cra should apologize for its statements or delegates or on were you? i think it's a good idea to send a delegation from ghana to burkina faso to negotiate as these 2 countries are

neighbors. they don't need a beef between them. i think that negotiation between these 2 countries is a good thing on after we are in africa and africa has its own realities that we often say that when you mistake, you have to apologize. i think that it's this african culture that gonna is practicing by sending a delegation to apologize in order to allow things to come back to the initial level of article or if they apologize, they can pardon them because gone in burkina faso are brothers ok to another of our headline stories to day, the world trade organization has rule that the u. s. violated international law by labeling import, specifically from hong kong, as being generally from china, beijing, welcome the ruling and said the u. s. was politicizing trade issues. washington though, has rejected the decision unsafe the w t. o is in desperate need of reform or to kill up. it's been following the story. or you're seeing is a longstanding pattern of the united states flouting international norms and

agreements all well condemning others and pounding the podium about a rules based global order. it's not just the hong kong labeling disagreement last week. the world trade organization found that the steel and aluminum tariffs passed by the united states were also in violation. the i'd states shot back that they strongly disagreed with how the treaty was being interpreted. the united states strongly rejects to float interpretation and conclusions in the world trade organization paddle reports. these doubled sale panel reports only reinforced the need to fundamentally reformed the w till this been settled on was system. the bite and administration is committed to preserve and us national security by insuring the long term viability of our steel and aluminium industries. and we do not intend to remove the section $232.00 duties as a result of these disputes. so even though it's a longstanding agreement, u. s. officials just say that it needs reform. they go right along with what

they're doing, saying they have no intentions of adjusting their policy whenever you don't like the results, just declare that the system is rigged against you and continued doing what you want to do. let's recall the reaction of u. s. officials, when they did not like the world health organizations findings and an investigation of woo hon labs, here's how they respond it across the board. the united states believes as a general matter when we're at the table, we can help shape events. and when we're not in the w h o, we don't have any influence that it is functioning the way it's intended to function by re engaging with the w h o. the united states will be in a position to push any necessary and needed reforms. and to be clear, there are necessary and needed reforms, according to logic of u. s. officials, a system functions the way it's intended to when the united states gets what it wants. and when it doesn't, it clearly needs reform and until then it can be disregarded. it doesn't get any

more blatant than the international criminal court, long time war hawk john bolton, who served in the administrations of both donald trump and george w bush was very angry and outraged at the i. c. c was investigating the actions of u. s. troops in afghanistan, he said the i c, c has got to go. we will not cooperate with the i c. c. we will provide no assistance to the i, c, c. and we certainly will not join the i c, c. we will let the i c, c die on its own. after all, for all intents and purposes, the i, c. c is already dead. the us, we will ban it's judges and prosecutors from entering the united states. we will sanction their funds in the u. s. financial system and we will prosecute them in the u. s. criminal system. the president will not allow american citizens to be prosecuted by foreign bureaucrats and he will not allow other nations to dictate

our means of self defense. but now, after withdrawing from the i, c. c and going all in against it, getting it was sanctions. the united states now suddenly loves the i c. c, because it's talking about targeting russia. the i c. c is good if it's targeting somebody we don't like, but if it dares touch us, it's got to be abolished. the hypocrisy is pretty hard to over look. so when you asked officials talk about a rules based global order, they mean rules for the but not for me or do as we say, but not as we do. it's not about principles are right and wrong, but about making sure that certain entities remain at the top of the food chain. it is dig itself into a corner and we see that country is increasingly isolated on the international stage. more and more countries are citing with russia with china b u. s. as overstepped its bounds, but the us simply does not recognize any bones. it does what it wants when it wants

to suit its own interests. and we have to be very clear here when we speak about its interest, meaning the government's interest or the interest of its major corporations. that the u. s. government almost never acts for the benefit of its own citizens. again, i'm speaking to someone who is representative. i've represented americans abroad. we've had trouble living abroad living at nato countries, even in the u. s. government would never even help them. the fact is that the you in its allies are increasingly isolated. the world has woken up and they're sick of being bullied or sick. the scams are sick of the lies and we're go, we're now going to reap a bitter harvest of all the horrible things you done or the past 25 years. now india for months is one country, which is that resolute despite western pressure to stop trading with russia. a business for him to strengthen economic ties between the 2 nations was recently held in moscow with

a new multi polar world order. a focal point of the event breaking that down for us . our t, sophia nunez, the i m f announced in september that india had become the world's 5th largest economy, speeding up from 11th place in just a decade. and judging by the congress, current policies, it has no intention of slowing down. india's growth potential has not gone unnoticed with other global international players such as russia, eager to join it. you can hear from you, my india is one of the world's leading countries in terms of economic growth. its population will soon be bigger than that of any country. new delhi has vast diplomatic experience in settling various kinds of problems, and it has authority and a strong reputation in its region. in the wake of the ukraine conflict, india rejected the western notion that trading with russia somehow immoral new daily has insisted that it would shop whatever gets a good deal for its people. following through on that pledge,

india has increased its importance of discount at rush and crude oil becoming it stopped by for the 2nd month in a row in december. and now new dale is decision to embrace the concept of self determination is reaping the benefits in dis, inflation. has he, the year low? well profit from fuel experts keep getting higher. but the mutual beneficial relations between russian india don't stop with oil, russian and engine business, political and public sector leaders have gathered at the 13 russian indian business forum in moscow this week. the theme of this year's meeting reads as an integral partnership between india and russia in the new world order with a focus on health care information technology, logistic banking, and the oil and gas industry, as well as other national projects. we are taking oil gays, coal fertilizers, right? but india has got a lot of products and then this products are very expensive. it did come in order during the co way. then after this go with the transported them become very

expensive. so in products had no physically ready, really expensive. so these are right then once it happens, it this route start. no whole ania yoga. you know, i away that will be in the russian market. lately is indian spices, either in includes so many things without coming. once the good is cheaper transportation. participants also discussed further economic cooperation between the 2 countries. as well as what can be done legislatively to create a more favourable business climate. and also it relates to russian financial authorities are making great efforts, not only to do price quotes for the repair as soon as possible, but also to make it a full fledged trading parties until the moscow exchange were chosen. this would reflect its demand among russian in port is an export as so i think this is one of the most important elements to accelerate our mutual settlements in national currency. see, it was negotiations are actively underway to accelerate the development of the

logistics route between vladivostok and janai and other ports of india, which would also contribute to a significant increase in cargo flows from russia to india linear. the event was organized by the indian business alliance with the support of the moscow department of foreign economic and international relations. the business council for corporation with india, and there was congress foundation. the ration in business forum has become an important platform for highlighting issues and opportunities related to a business size between russia in india and for ensuring the continuation of the progress and development of both nations. now, in a hugely controversial development, the u. s. senate has passed a motion to use asset sees from russian nationals in order to finance ukraine's war effort. the initiating lawmakers said it would come as a relief for american taxpayers. this amendment would allow the department of justice through the secretary of state to transfer proceeds from seas oligarch,

assets, or other sanction entities to the people of ukraine. it will be a godsend of the long suffering people of the ukraine. ill bear relief to the american taxpayer. calls billions of dollars are subject to being seized and transferred. it will be a bad day for oligarchy. to give you a sense of the timing of this, the senate's move came just the day. after the u. s. president had launched a fresh military aid package to keep worth just shy of $2000000000.00. the bill has to be approved by the house of representatives before it can be signed into law by joe biden. political commentators, the gill said, washington said features from russian officials, businessmen and entities will do little to alleviate the u. s. financial burden. its support for us lead to it is certainly a moral and it is just definitely wrong to think that we're going to somehow repay american taxpayers with money stolen from private individuals who are simply

business people died the rush. the crazy thing about this is that the mark twain, american humorous ones that the difference in the right word and the almost right for the difference in whitening mit. but it's interesting that they're using the term russian all regards to it, to refer to these russian private business individual because they call them by the business people that some americans might be a little bit more outraged. the same way that lindsey graham and others would be leading the screams and howls about rate if the russia and china and india and other foreign countries were taking private us business assets from individuals. because those countries disagree with the practices and policies of the u. s. government and i don't know what we're going to get in terms of our return on investment. as president, lindsey tries to term it for the 1100000000 or so we put into the ukraine. there will be no return on investment for american taxpayers. it will not be repaid while

for more on voucher. indeed. any of our stories this our do head all over to a website all was fresh content, lively discussions to be fine. my for moscow. this is our t like with ah ah ah ah.
