i'm calling the police system submitted a you do what i see the senior both. there's no room you lation says diesel to gumbo sub ah, another twist in the dispute between russia on the e. u over at natural gas supplies does, most corresponds to the west price kept by designating its own value for the commodity 1000000000. sometimes our colleagues and partners surprise 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. ah, a massive laser rough sort of major a gas storage facility in the north african nation of morocco made a series of explosions. you asked denies violating

international law, the world trade organization rules in favor of hong kong. and it's commercial dispute with 70 m and key to 11 pm and sydney on 3 in the afternoon here. and most of this december, the 23rd to our top story. this friday concerning the ukraine conflict to people hoping one day to one of them critically in a car explosion, the center of melee, topple, city that's according to local authorities. when i show you this video, it shows the burnt. i'd shall all of the vehicle melly topple. by the way it's located in the russian control part of the zappa rogia region. the explosion was announced by local official vladimir rogoff who heads that we are together with russian movement earlier this month in this same city. 2 people were killed when

key f forces shelled a holiday camp. the moscow has responded to the western imposed prize camp on russia natural gas supplies by saying it will set its own value for the commodity. latimer putin also said he's repeatedly warned that you all the possible consequences of its meddlesome policies in england, in general. you know, sometimes our colleagues and partners 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 search and prices. you know, this happened right now with now they don't know how to get out of this position and are trying to regulate gas prices as well as a rush accuses the u. s. and other western actors of attempting to artificially

manipulate the international markets. new legislation from moscow fries, they state gas exporter gals prom from fulfilling obligations under foreign contracts if they buy a late national guidelines. the specifics of the price designation are to be determined by the end of next week. president putin also had 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 worry sushi on, donal quarter, discussed the russian leaders. now they're stark assessment with wishes causally more than 2. we now say the u. s. is directly involved in the conflict. the english, 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 and then tried to manage the separate parts and nothing new here that the idea of ukrainian

separatism was born a long time ago. but it said you, while the russian president, of course, spoke a lot about how the a west was trying to stoke the flames of nationalism in 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 per cent. and on top of that, indicators connected to unemployment and inflation have been kept very low as well . a spook, assert, so you can limited that's for the economy despite to predict, to collapse devastation and catastrophe. none of the kind has happened here. moreover, rushes 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. that would be our labor market is stable, our financial market is stable. did you? i thought the one of the interesting thing said the dodger during this press conference was i one of the, one of the questions from a member of the press. what was i, he asked, is russia running out of miss isles in 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 russia's defense industry, wasn't it? right. and it was also discussed alongside 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, okay, let the west do that. because the patriot missile systems are ready 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. we will disposable 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. 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 directed directly contradicts what the russian government wants for both sides to sit down at the negotiating table and find a diplomatic solution. well, as we just heard russia's g d p decline this year, really had only a fraction of what had been predicted due to the sloop. western sanctions are t spoke with belgian independent journalist luc river,

who sees the use economy has suffered more than moscow from its own sanctioned dust . we were told by germans, by the french, by our leaders in the west, at our sanctions when necessary to ranko russia to we sneezed. but we are all armies. energy wise, it to the situation is double. we have minus stand last week for us. it's a terrible winter, i mean he rushes minus than his wind 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 oil, with mouth and 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 encounters and rushes seems to do well. at some news coming from india more more than a dozen people have reportedly been killed. after a truck occurring, army personnel fell into a gorge in the northeastern state of 2nd. according to local mediately, 16 officers and soldiers lost their lives. another 4 were injured. the accident happened when the driver lost control of the vehicle while trying to negotiate a steep turn on the vehicle skidded on a rocky ravine. the truck was part of a 3 vehicle convoy the injured soldiers by the way, helping or left it to a nearby hospital will fit you in this when we know we're about it, ghana has expressed a wish to build bridges after accusing burkina faso of hiring the russian private moot regroup the wagner group to fight an insurgency. yours broken up, a reporter who is an lewis, who long with more. it's

a high level delegation with the minister of the group of gun at the head that they arrived well as they were gonna do. the goal was to present the official excuse of prison, lena, a qu for are due to captain. you brought him to only for accusing will you not fossil to host or some private security group wagner, that was last week in washington, dc. dinning and meeting will be you a secretary of state antonette blinkin booking a faster. this is not entered into an arrangement to go along with molly inclined, the thought on our forces had to have them operating on local board is particularly distressing for us and gone with the local for are those said publicly that a book, you know, fossil has passed an agreement to authorize the wagner group to operate my and goal in the suffered book. you know, as the tip is stiffened up. so it cold in the relation between the 2 countries with

the legal law odyssey worker do the founder of the foreigner group responded by accusing western countries of committing offences. it's been blamed for in africa where we can best opinion in burkina faso. we're locals. believe that acro should apologize for it statement i believe i saw on william. 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. 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. are going to be that if they apologize, they can pardon them. because gone in burkina faso are brothers. another deadly

day in france, 2 people have been shot dead and another for injured in central porous according to the cities prosecutor. this friday, the suspected shooter we're hearing is now in custody. as said to be a 69 year old man who was arrested after the scene, as you can see, a lot of streets corded off, their police have urged the public to stay away from the area just some local reports on their local media. shopkeepers said that it was total public. we locked ourselves inside, after hearing 7 or 8 shots in the, around the small, the 10th in partis. it will, of course, bring back memories of some years ago. a christmas market in strasburg, when a number of people lost their lives as well. so right now what we know to people dead in paris and a number of others injured and no word on who the the should our intentions,

where we just know with a 69 year old male more than that as it comes into us on the program the world trade organization has rule that the u. s. violated international law by labeling import, specifically from hong kong of being generally from china, beijing, welcome the ruling and said the u. s. was politicizing trade issues. washington though, rejected it saying that w t o itself is in desperate need of reform. following the story for us, our teeth kill up not been boyer seeing is a long standing pattern of the united states flouting international norms and agreements. all wow, 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 united 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 panel reports these doubled. so 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 preserving you, especially 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, us 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 was recall the reaction of u. s. officials, when they did not like the world health organizations findings in 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 the 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 the 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 see, see, 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 us 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, us 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. right. more and more countries are citing with russia with china, the says overstepped its bounds, but the u. s. 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 interests or the interest of 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 represented. i've represented americans abroad.

we've had trouble living abroad living in 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 sick of the scams. a sick of allies and we go, we are now going to reap a bitter harvest of all the horrible things you've done or the past 25 years. turning attention to africa, we're a major gas storage facility near morocco's atlantic coast has burst into flames and that a series of explosions, new casualties have been reported. as of now, the just incredible scenes aren't they, and firefighters are said to have contains the blaze. now the media in the country reported a gas leak of the close of the fire, or at least the most probable one that our concerns about other flexible materials

being kept up the facility to local journalists, sora epsilon, spoke to the program earlier. we all know, damn ham mindy. i guess storage facility goes up in flames today, and there is a lot of footage than foot in shared online shows a huge flames. and the gas storage is in the city near the court, where you guys and other flammable materials are stored this ah storage. it's close to people. and evan families and citizens latent leave in near the facility, have evacuated. the surrounding people are here in the explosion. so far as far away about 10 kilometers. so it's very terrifying in doll. it's mary anne. it's very dangerous. now, india is one country which has that resolute despite western pressure to stop trading with russia. a business forum to strengthen economic ties between the 2

nations was recently held here in moscow with a new multi polar world order, a focal point of the event breaking all out on for us. our t saffir units, 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've got to yup, with 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 it gets

a good deal for its people. following through on that pledge, india has increased its emperors of discount at rush and crude oil becoming it stop by for the 2nd month in the raw in december. and now new daily's decision to embrace the concept of self determination is reaping the benefits in just 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 digging 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 code and after this go with what didn't become very expensive. so a new product had no physically ready, really expensive to the right time. once it happens in this room, start the whole ania yoga. you know, i agree that will be in the russian market lately, indian spices, iowa, the indian clothes. so many things will fad 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 crate in more favorable business climate. so ever watched russian financial authorities are making great f, it's not our need 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 more tricina. 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 buzzword. negotiations are actively under way 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 lenient. the bank was organized by the indian business allies 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 business size between russia in india and for ensuring the continuation of the progress and development of both nations in a hugely controversial development, the u. s. senate tells pass the 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 that part 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 to the long suffering people of the ukraine will bear relief to the american taxpayer. calls billions of dollars are subject to being seized and transferred. it will be a bad day for all our guards. the senate move came just a day after the u. s. president and on the fresh military aid package to kiev. we're 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, steve gill, sees washington's assets seizures from russian officials, business men and entities will do little to alleviate the u. s. financial burden. its support for kia has led 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, an american humorist. once that the difference in the right word and the almost right, where is 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 individuals because they call them private business people that some americans might be a little bit more outraged the same way. just lindsey graham and others would be leading the screams and hows about rates if 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, he tries to term it for the wcw or so to be put into ukraine. there will be no return on investment for american taxpayers. it will not be repaid. steve gill,

taking us to the end of this luck, but stay with us because the great che gus island scandal is recalled. next, the lord and 50 years later, lose affected are still seeking jobs are short documentary, another paradise chronicles their fight, involvement with long mo. well, it shows the wrong one. i just don't hold any world that he has to feed out. disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, that's what i'm doing. good. said den, by day to day lives in piazza de la vicky zion, probably nobody no man's officer was yet each do not l. as
