ah, ah, just with an efficiently bens, the export of washing oil to foreign companies and nationals who apply a price cap starting from february from nigeria, a petro shortages inflicted drama take spike on tranquil called the energy crisis fund by western functions on russian fuel like sports the think thing across the globe also coming up did say come up to society. i understand that plenty of people running ukraine, the head of a private u. s. military group that trains ukrainian soldiers that mitzi doesn't actually like the country all over confirming that k. it's troops executed russian war

christmas with very well welcome. you're watching aussie international with the latest world news uptake is good to have you with us. now, president putin has signed a decree in response to the western price count on russian oil shipments. moscow will abound the export of crude and petroleum products to foreign companies and nationals who apply the restrictions. ortiz donald quarter explains as presidential decree, outlined special economic measures being taken in response to the western price cap on russian oil exports that was put into place earlier this month. according to the statement, russia will no longer supply oil to countries. going along with this scheme, effective february, 1st of next year, up until july 1st. and since president vladimir putin made this decree, we've seen the prices of crude oil as well as gas go up across the board in the

international energy markets. now, this western cap on russian oil exports was set at $60.00 a barrel, and this was made in a bid to punish moscow for its military operation in ukraine. and even moscow before this, this cap price cap was set. moscow was warning that if such a thing were to happen that moscow would respond with not supplying these countries that go along with the scheme with oil. so this response is really not something that surprising. we should also not forget that much of the west has already completely embargoed russian oil. so this kind of price cap sets is really set up for countries 3rd party buyer countries such as india, for example, or china trying to bring them into the fold of the west foreign policy goals. and we've seen all across latin america, africa, and asia, that very few countries are willing to go along with that. earlier on tuesday, russia's foreign minister said mosca have friends in many parts of the world and

therefore doesn't need to focus on partnering with the you. we can see how the ruling circles of your countries are acting to the detriment of the vital interests and well being of their own citizens. it's enough to mention as an example, the u. s. ban on european states to maintain a dialogue with our country and the energy sector. of course, there will be no more business as usual with such calendar parties. we don't intend to knock on a closed door or initiate any joint projects. luckily, the e u is not the only partner for us. we have many friends and like minded states and other parts of the world. if and when there is a bitter hang over on the european side from the current wrist of phobic. rage followed by sobering up if there are clear nationally oriented politicians who understand the advantages of an equal and mutually beneficial partnership with russia, i assure you there will be no problems on our side. that's not cross to georgia,

samuel, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute thing time in london may. thanks for joining us on the program. george. so could you talk us through the ramifications of this rush in response to the price cap, please? you, when you go to london, pointed out that this is entirely predictable and this is what russia had warned that it will do. and of course, the e u. g 7, already committed to not purchasing any oil from russia. you know, as of the end of this year, but what this does is make clear to everybody else in the world that it is not in your interest to go along with this g 7 e. you plan to impose the price. because if you do then note while for you and obviously, as you know, russia is pointed out for a particular president to repeat,

it is absolutely nonsensical. the stupidest idea imaginable that consumers can set the price. so essentially, by doing this, by threatening to penalize anyone who joins in this price gap is actually getting the support of many countries in the world, particularly commodities, producers who very upset the idea that computers will get that set prices. because of course, when consumers that's right there, they're going to set the prices as low as possible, as already some expense, according this development revolution on the oil markets. what exactly do they mean by that? well, if the revolution was, would've been, if the, this oil price gap had succeeded. i mean, if you know that would be a revolution. i mean, the, the whole notion that consumers can set the price is not because

if you are the consumer how much you want to pay it, i mean, because they want to pay nothing. and therefore, the price that they will pay will be much less than the cost of production. so it makes no sense. but the strange thing was that it was we sold capital is power the power. suppose understand the workings of the market that he bought on this profoundly anti capitalist cause of going against market prices. and we're doing the kinds of things that were used to associate with socialist countries. they would set the price. and of course, when you set a price that create shortages, and then of course the shortage is create inflation and creates much higher prices down the road. and that's fairly obvious economics. but this is the course that the g 7 set. and so how difficult could it be for russia to redirect it's all exposed to other countries?

i think it's quite easy to do because this is something that is a precious commodity. everybody needs it and gotta get this look. it's not difficult at all to find new bias. it's if you are a producer, you're always in a strong position. if you're a consumer, particularly the europeans, because the americans are in a special case because america is a major energy producer. but the europeans, oil consumers for them is very difficult because they are the ones who have a problem. they're the ones who are going to have to go to other countries and say can you satisfy will need. and that's almost impossible because basically, you know, these are what coil contracts are done a long time in advance and he needs a long term contracts. you're going just going to turn around the say, well, can you ship us lots of oil to meet our needs? so europe, in there is a lot of trouble with every step,

but constantly trying to assess the how to how effective the western sanctions have really been. so far upon russia been considering that russia seems to be increasing its oil export revenue. what do you think? i think it's been completely ineffective because russia was always able to switch its production both in while and gas to other consumers. and particularly when you got boil and gas and energy hungry economies in india and china and east asia. it really is difficult for russia to redirect its export. and, you know, given what the st, the effect of the sanctions was to raise prices when you raise prices. and obviously you raise revenue. so even if russian exports down as a result of the sanctions, because prices have been escalated,

russia is making more money than it's ever done it again, that should have been fairly obvious, but that that has been the consequence. and then this price gap, which was meant to address that issue, the rough is making more money than before, is a gauge is just in the bathroom, lays it, because you know, you're again creating artificial shortages, which simply jack up prices. so it's the, the europeans in particular who have suffered as a result of the sanction. most distractions of russian life is, you know, the story. well, they look, restroom, life has remain fairly unchanged. that can be said that this is the true of europe . george me, thanks for joining us on the program this evening or always appreciate your time with speaking to georgia. some you early thank you. thank you very much. can i jerry a now where petri shortages had caused prizes to skyrocket with the latest report by the national b over a statistic showing it to a matic spike in transport costs compared to last year. according to the reports

nigerians and now pay 97 percent more for domestic flights on 45 percent more for bus tickets and comparisons november last year. from post february, phil shortages spread from the capital to other parts of the country. as a result of the crisis patch, workstations are selling field at higher prices than the one fixed by the government. while black markets speculation is rising, the countries only in port field and i, jerry and it national petroleum company, says it has enough stock, but there are problems with distribution. this comes in the global energy crisis with restrictions based on the import, south wash and gas. my jerry and politician, a dummy god, the 2nd phase, the anti russian sanctions. i provoked the smuggling of oil from his country. idea is like every road up on to in the wall is grossly dependent on energy. so when you have our fuel prices grain or it means that you have highlight of, they're very high, possibly be on the situation is completely not connected with

a series of nobody even assumptions that is imposed on rochelle. regarding for an invitation due to the war between russia, ukraine is actually what is affected, what you see when dasa machine was imposed debatable provincial pub. it is supposed to been if it wasn't a jillions of part of the export of poil. what is unfortunate that there are so many criminal gung in cannot once rebel for him buttons, but us mobility out oil in nigeria. well, it quarter from 4 big to produce about one point it to point 2000000 bottles. plenty. but as i'm talking to, you know, almost 500002 several 100000 bought it by day has been stolen out of nigeria. it won't door this shift that but on our shoals are just douglas hammon. numbers can be tracked, can be located. and you know, in niger, i will open it. what is going to help you do to zim? usually what we do is we export well and import the refined problem. so only

important to find frodo, we sort of the die. so dad, average nigerians can benefit from fortunate to have a deciduous on the go to shop for in our group will export. now you don't have enough money to continue distribution. so the best solution is to do something. so by that we're going to subsidy the private where i keep getting the higher the head of a private u. f military, great, that trains ukrainian trips has slammed the country as corrupt. one of my thing, he only helps kids do to circle the global norms of fighting against russia. and as president andrew melbourne made the revelation steering a casual interview posted on line. it's a corrupt of society the let you know. so i'm not, i'm not a big fan of ukraine. it's not about ukraine. we're not like, i have to have, you know, you ukraine flank tied to my bag, but i'm not, oh my god, ukraine. so awesome. no,

because it's i understand that plenty of people running ukraine. it's not about that. it's about global norms. right? right. it's about food and andrew melbourne is a retired us marine colonel with over 31 years of military service, according to official forces. his military group is only training ukrainian sho soldiers and is not involved in any fighting. however, the name mozart is a deliberate counsel point to the russian volcanic group that is fighting on the dumbass front line, mobile and also i think the us should go all in and provide as much military help to ukraine as possible. meanwhile, melbourne shed another startling revelation about how ukrainian soldiers are indiscriminately killing russian prisoners of war. lesson in the craniums ah, in violation ah der, hey convention. they're filming off a number of things that they're doing with her. a. p. o w's is violet in laura kaun

. laura of armed conflict and he kind guys, right, killing russian presences. right. you know, these are electronic phenomena solis. i mean irrigation kill you cinco, dudes who, i mean every knows who surrendered them in on and, and now there was plenty of the videos published about a month ago, but started making headlines just now. now, obviously, mr. milburn and his mercenary group, mozart or some of the major players on the side of ukraine. his the comments, however, are very controversial and haven't really been consistent back in april of this year. he tried to assure the world that there is no leak of natal supplied weapons to ukraine into the wrong hands such as those of the terrorist. now he claimed that everything was under his groups control. i would say that the very last concern that united states government you have right now is that these arms end up in the

wrong hands. now that so optimism offer mr. milburn displayed back in april has completely vanished and he said something completely of the opposite. when he was or quoted as one of the sources and syria on cbs is a special report about to weapons that were disappearing in ukraine, native, wide weapons mines you. and who are that have been turning up in a black markets. i can tell you on arguably that on the frontline units, these things are not getting there. alright and drones switch blades. i facts. they're not, are body armor, helmets. you name it is. is it safe to characterize this is a little bit of a black i i suppose if you don't have visibility of where this stuff is going and if you're asking that question then it would appear that it's black hole. yes. now that is something that we have discussed here on our tea many times,

and this topic was discussed in the europe or as well. now, europe is of course, the most vulnerable in this situation due to it's approximately to ukraine and all the weapons that are being stored supplied by an 8th hole in ukraine's a western ports very close to the rest of the year. but so for some problems of black market weapons, it hasn't been on a massive scale in europe. however, this problem is already on the african continent. now, according to nigerian presidents are more how my do. oh, hoary. he says that his words, that the war there between russia and ukraine, is allowing arms and fighters to stream through the lake charge region. and this is bolstering the capitol capabilities of a local word terrorist. so the question and now remains, is ukraine,

which is presented as a shining beacon of democracy. now, are there any morals left there or is it a conflict completely fueled by interests recently released at twitter files. i opened a pandora's box and revelations on how far washington is prepared, prepared to interfere in social media, and even the personal health choices of citizens just to keep its grip on the narrative, is the latest in a string of western government scandals this year. as ne marina counselor, thanks. thanks. the latest leaks of the now notorious twitter files show that washington was manipulating what users online saw regarding coven vaccines? well, maybe that's because key figures had something to gain from it. let's take a look at doctor anthony found t. this is america's top, a health official, and he just announced that he'll be stepping down as the head of the national

institute of allergy and infectious diseases and as chief medical adviser to president biden. well, the timing is definitely interesting. do you know anyone who works for a social media platform doin or somebody who works for a social media platform or at this time? well, i've had communications with mark zuckerberg in the past. do you know anyone else who works for a social media platform other than mark zuckerberg? when you say, do i know somebody who works? like do you have acquaintances, people that you know who work at social media platforms? well, a person who used to work as a software engineer for twitter was my daughter. so america, top health officials, daughter, worked with twitter. so in a position to potentially alter a few things according to her dad's wishes, who was in a position to benefit from people getting vaccinated. 27000 royalty payments were

paid to 1800 and i and i age employees. can you tell me that you have not received a royalty from any entity that you ever oversaw the distribution of money in research grants? oh, well, 1st of all, let's talk about this. you know, that's the question. have you ever overseen under received a ruling agreement from a company that you later oversaw money going to that company? you know, i don't know is a fact, but i doubt it. joe biden's, chief medical advisor isn't sure if he profited from the pandemic excellence. well, we know how much wiser made $22000000000.00 in 2021 or a $1000.00 every 2nd. and we now know that the 1st maxine that was sold to the masses in america both literally and figuratively, wasn't even tacit for efficacy before it answered the market. regarding the

question around and did we know about stopping immunization before it sent to the market. now, at these and you know, we had to really move at the speed of science to really understand what is taking place in the market. and from that point of view, we had to do everything at rest. it's hardly surprising than that across the pond. the e. u prosecutor's office has now opens an investigation into coven, maxine purchases with all eyes on the european commission of presidents. it seems that arsole of under lion exchanged a few tax messages with pfizer, c. e o. before cementing the multi 1000000000 euro contract, acquiring 4500000000 doses for 450000000 people. well, maybe this case will shed some light on her involvement because so for the commission has refused to release any details about bonder lyons role in his negotiations. the

commission can confirmed the search undertaken by the president's cabinet for relevant text messages corresponding to their quest for access to documents has not yielded any results. we asked the commission to provide us with information on the preliminary nego stations for this agreement. scientific experts consulted and advice, received timing of the talks, records of the discussions, and details of the agreed terms and conditions. however, none was forthcoming. hardly surprising. well, it took a couple of years to get the league slinking, washington suits sweaters, cove, it policies so we may need a few more. so uncover what lies beneath the billions, if not trillions made during the pandemic. ukrainian president zalinski has had what he's described as a polar to have phone call with india's prime minister. and along of the key at the top diplomat accused new delhi of capitalizing on the ukraine, conflicts by cooperating with russia. the opportunity for india to buy russian oil

at a cheap price comes from the fact the ukrainians are suffering from russian aggression and dying every day. if you benefit because of our suffering, it would be good to see more of your help addressed to us. and you deli based foreign affairs observer, say the ukrainian precedence, controversial track record means k. i can't be trusted to uphold any sort of new piece dale again. and he has said that he expected india to to come in and mediate a 5 piece. but the question he is, he is ready for the piece because as we know, after when this military of the finish started to of 2 months, been 2 months, then we have negotiate and group in the middle between both countries. and we had received news that from some such can see, had been

a few of them, but suddenly he, he backed out. so every energy in that didn't sky i had you is not an independent live. he is here. his policy over his this quarter was, is really, can toward long term with. we all know what i mean from time with it's wrong, you'd have natal headquarters, was that united states in cranes. foreign minister has proposed holding peace talks at the un, but without inviting moscow. the table here says it wants to organize such a summit by the end of february, ukraine's talk diplomat. emphasize they, key of piece formula does not currently include russia. well, they knew delhi based foreign if as observer we spoke with again, the added that western countries don't actually want pace in ukraine. is they using the nation as a tool against question? mr. mr. lee,

going to be fighting up the c one there in your clean. and so you took men, men 5 in this was united, united states, and it load quite the solution will come out, will be what the party start talking each other. there have been some indication like plan the student microphone created had said that they have, should we talk to we had some indications to germany. what did you all are very weak in big, isn't there 1st? is to defeat to the sharp edge still within had had said many times that day they are fighting for the killing up. there have been some documents that have been some discuss on kicked on clifton media

that brings him him off the wish them going to be huge to fresh, to defeat versa. and then, and then start a new flirting and jane of europe will faith mounting pressure in the upcoming year with a significant increase in migrant seeking refuge in the u. that's according to the head of the blocks asylum authority. it is quite clear that the increasing number of applications will continue in the foreseeable future. unfortunately, they're not temporary. official asylum requests have risen by more than 50 percent this year. well, the number of microns crossing each board is illegally has the past 3 100000 the figure is the highest since 2016 and significantly more than in 2021 of the majority of micro,

on our arriving to the you through 2 routes via the western vulcans on the central mediterranean. these policy could however, be blocked in the near future. the italian prime minister, georgia maloney for one has proposed the introduction of a naval blockade in the mediterranean. while the austrian chancellor con they hama, has called for, was to be built on the territory of romania bulgaria, and hungary legal likes. but aton journalists will kadijah says that such an approach is in contrast with the ease of access to the e. u for ukrainian refugees. when du du du du award in ukraine, as start, there are so many people go to the ports in did you, duke bought a grand new sil, we so some people come from african continent, asia continent. we don't said the same treatment about that people there with some poor people, for example, in the ukraine resolved. so you'd be europe in the african continent into asia

continent, but for the african and asia, contend to chic. ms. very different back that you to you. so we can change the most important right now. i put my hand in the mind in thinking about the responsibility for a debt countries. factors contributing to the mass displacement of people include food insecurity and conflict, for example, in syria and the democratic republic of congo, egypt, nigeria, and many others are suffering from soaring inflation and will nato interventions of lead to political instability in countries including iraq and afghanistan, will cadet again say that it's vital that the eagle creates programs to help developing countries while respecting best sovereignty. the lack of accountability is to one of the main effect or so this is this off to serious violations by the countries. a part of the utopian may be in the country. we have so

many cases in day you too. and the violations we have is so many people in disease being to see a so many days said tried to interesting to you. some people are, are that dead? this is very important to provide the bed condition condition for the people. for example, to create to be a good programs for this is the big sister, big t a for deb piece programs, for example, to create the estimates and must import dentist do respect. just feel free or dead countries. this old mania program 0. but sometimes you don't respect to so very you hope that the dead place is many thanks for being with us this cheese day. as always, you can find plenty more news discussion on debate on our website r t dot com in a
