aah! with russia officially bands, oil exports to any country comply with the g 7 price that the decree will come into effect in february. the 2nd rob of society. i understand plenty of people running ukraine, the head of a private u. s. military group that trains ukrainian soldiers admit that country is corrupt. also confirming troops executed russian prisoners of war. and the pentagon continues to delay a response about its role in a deadly air fryer in nigeria in 2017. that resulted in more than $100.00 civilian deaths as local residents demand and investigation. we know americans to war power,

but whoever is behind these should be investigated. those who are behind this should be brought to justice. the latest batch of lee twitter files revealed the u . s. administration pressure the platform to prioritize information on cobra vaccines to fit the narrative of its policies with hello and good morning from moscow to wherever in the world you may be catching us from. welcome to this hour's top stories from around the globe girl, isabel, russia has banned the export of crude oil and petroleum products to any country complying with the price cap earlier imposed by the west which moscow branch as a violation of international law ortiz donald quarter, has more this presidential decree outlined special economic measures being taken in response to the west's price cap on russian oil exports that was put into place

earlier this month. the core 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 that 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 moscow has friends in many parts of the world and therefore doesn't need to focus on partnering with the e. u. 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. we discuss moscow's latest move with senior research fellow of the global policy institute of london, george wiley and geo political analysts, jo milonga, before we get to the perception that when russia is being sanctioned lift right in time, you are not able to respond. so this is the response for from the russian president from the russian federation that will send that quote straight. that's not going to come in here and play your games as if now the oil and gas or the energy has controlled, wondering washington, especially the european countries are the ones that i have to suffer from just

decreased by the ones that are really sticking to russia. i'm going to give you up in bed, mom, and she's only the western countries that are more of an issue that i show it would benefit him from the resistance of russia. but i want to stop. what this does is makes clear to everybody else in the world that it is not in your interest to go along with this g 7. you plan to impose the price gap. because if you do then note while for you. and obviously it is, you know, russia has pointed out for a particular president who didn't want to ask repeatedly, it is absolutely nonsensical. the stupidest idea imaginable that consumers can set the price essentially by doing this by threatening to penalize anyone who joins in with price gap. he's actually getting the support of many countries in the world, the particularly commodities producers who are very upset about the idea that

consumers will get to set prices. because of course, when consumers set prices, they're going to set the price is as low as possible. and the head of a private u. s. military group, which trains ukrainian soldiers has slammed the country as corrupt while confirming that ukrainian fighters commit atrocities by killing russian prisoners of war, artistic, or start off types, dives into the story. the mozart group, an american private security company that proudly markets itself as a veteran military force providing training to ukrainian soldiers inside the country. it was founded by retired us marine colonel andrew milburn, who's been repeatedly put in a better style for helping out the key of in this time of need. yet, as it turns out, he is very, very far from a fan of ukraine. 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 funny people running ukraine. it's not about that. it's about global norms, right? right. was per patient while melbourne didn't mens his words death. but apparently there's a lot that the mozart group is morally prepared to forgive and forget the cranium in violation of the hey convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with p o. w 's is fine. i didn't. laura laura bomb conflict. you can't kill due to, i mean, every nose surrender, i mean. and then there was plenty of all this is something you wouldn't expect to

hear from the same person who publicly glorified the war in ukraine as just. and as far from the 1st contradictory statement from milburn, in fact, his accounts of what's happening on the ground in ukraine have been all over the place in one c in an interview. for instance. the former colonel is unequivocal. all 4 and weapons sent to ukraine, accounted for. but would see that the very last concern that the united states government you have right now is that these arms end up in the wrong hands. and it's almost like his evil twins and appears on c b s. with a statement that sounds the polar opposite. i can tell you on arguably, sat on the frontline units, these things and i'll getting that. all right. drones switch blades. i fax that

off. all right, body on the helmets. you name it. is it safe to characterize this is a little bit of a black hole i i suppose if you don't have visibility of whether stuff is going and if you're asking that question then it would appear that it's black hole. yeah. now cave of course, wasn't impressed by the reporting and somehow managed to bully c, b. s to retract and take down the piece. but there have been heated concerns over western arms and being up on the global weapons, black market. this unverified footage, for instance, proposed to show us and european made rocket launch is meant for ukraine ending up in syria. all this comes as no surprise to anyone who's been following events in ukraine long enough over the years. and the nazi groups like the as a battalion that used to be reputation, li toxic, and officially banned from receiving west and weapons, have now being re branded as heroes. ukraine's own image has been polluted so badly

by rampant corruption for years. but this year, key of somehow got the power to send any western media outlet who dares to bring this up. but as long as this can be weaponized to hurt russia, he will continue to have its cod blanche. the contrast with his portrayal in mainstream publications like the new york times, which wrote a puff piece about retired colonel andy milburn. he's kind of a famous figure in marine circles. and now he's running one of the biggest mercenary companies in ukraine. the mozart group, but then here you have him on this military groupie podcast called team house. like after an hour his speech starts to slur. and then he really starts to lift the mask and says, it's not really about ukraine for him. ukraine is a screwed up society in so many terms. it's run by in his word sick people and the soldiers are rampantly committing atrocities. actually one of the hosts tries to

walk back the term atrocities, and he correct them and says, no, these are atrocities. and they are being committed there. so it's a very candid session drinking session with kernel and melbourne, providing a view of ukrainian society that he had a front seat to having trained so many soldiers. and that u. s. media still refuses to tell americans about as the host of team. how said we can't actually start abandoning our ukrainian partners at this point. even though in the u. s. military, he claimed that you would be done if you film po w's on, on camera being shot and summarily executed, as we've seen from ukraine. but i don't think this will have any repercussions for that war effort as a whole, because this is what the $45000000000.00 already allocated for 2023 by congress. which just clapped like seals for zalinski is paying for it's paying for these atrocities. this unprofessionalism and the u. s. military intelligence apparatus is

willing to go along with that as long as they get results, what are the results they want? it's what milburn and his buddies in the man cave said they were weakening, prudent and destabilizing russia. and africa is another region suffering from the on one tech repercussions of the ukrainian crisis, as weapons initially designated for care of and up in the hands of local terrorist groups. the nigerian president has blamed the conflict in ukraine for crippling his country's security. regrettably, the situation in the saw heal and the raging war in ukraine service, major sources of weapons and fights is the boast of the ranks of the terrorists in late charge. region weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region. a former piece paper ensued on, and molly says the west is responsible for the instability in africa due to its ongoing support of ukraine. my father looks the west is only risking its

future damage. they realized now that everything is more or less lost, but they don't really want to lose face exempt from the west thinks it can always restore its image. but i don't think that's the case at all. they are not in the best position right now. if you look at all these terrorists, a lot of weapons were acquired by them with the help of the west. and in libya, for instance, it was the west that caused everything. and then libya essentially fell. the sa hale origin of africa's now and chaos. these are all the games of the west, in my opinion. fear is clashes between palestinians and has really forces have erupted in the city of ramallah. protesters demanded the release of a body belonging to a palestinian prisoner who died in an israeli jail last week following a year long battle with cancer. a heavy military presence and the use of tear gas was spotted at the scene. nascar elbow ha, made, had been serving numerous life sentences since 2002,

for multiple convictions related to the deaths of israelis. he died last week after being diagnosed with cancer in august, but israel refuses to return his body to his family, the palestinian commission for detainees accused israel of the liberal medical negligence. ah, and the pentagon has delayed its response to you as congress about america's role in the 2017 airstrike in nigeria that claim more than 100 civilian lives. in september, the protection of civilians and conflict caucus called on the secretary of defense to reveal the details of the air strike. but the deadline is now 3 weeks overdue. the intercept attributes, this unwillingness to respond is due to the countries direct involvement in the tragic accident. the formerly secret african document obtained by the intercept suggests that the u. s. may have launched this rare internal investigation because

it secretly provided intelligence or other support to the nigerian armed forces who carried out the deadly strike. according to the documents seen by the intercept, us, africa man launched a secret investigation just days after the attack at a displaced persons camp. the publication claims that in american recognizance plain circle the camp before and i year and air force plane arrived in them and bomb the area. while the document palsy air strike an example of a u. s. nigerian operations. a nigerian researcher from human rights watch says washington's unwillingness to assist in providing clarity is worrisome. it bound to guns, failure to provide information and talk commends to determine possible u. s. involvement in a nash strike that took manney's civilian lodge in ne nigeria does not bode well for the u. s. government expressed commitment to transparency and accountability. it tends worrisome message that at minimum, the defense department isn't willing to engage from an issue affecting countless

lives and may even reflect an attempt to evade responsibility. their camps, residents killed in the air strikes, had been fleeing the conflict in north eastern nigeria where the government is fighting militants and had thought they were safe in that area. nigerian officials have express regret over the attack a local correspond. it brings us more details. 5 years ago and angela mutually a strike, it's a civilian comp and the board at all. no for wrong. 180 kilometers from maple cri, claiming that the life of at least 115 people, including children and humanitarian walk us the pentacle. it's called one investigation into the u. s. military involvement in the atrocity house thrown in reaction from the degree residents navy. and so i, me should have to but she this investigation is very cute because we have waited for so long to know what happened. but no one said anything,

even though it's light, we want to know you conducted the attack. we know and merrick his award power, but whoever is behind these should be investigated. because these will put everyone off making similar mistakes in the future. we don't want this investigation to be politically influenced. a lot of children and families, dought, and some have been made homeless. so on our merchant or even if the air force got such intelligence from america, they should conduct a thorough check on the site before bombing it. it's after a massacre has happened. the 2 countries trade blame when people have died. those who are behind this should be brought to justice. the recently released twitter files opened a pandora's box of revelations on how far washington is willing to go to interfere in the personal health choices of citizens manipulating social media. just to keep its grip on the narrative. it's the latest in a string of western government scandals this year as our teeth marina call study of explains. the latest leaks of the now notorious twitter files show that washington

was manipulating what users online saw regarding coven vaccines. or maybe that's because key figures had something to gain from it. let's take a look at doctor anthony found she. this is america's top, a health official. and he just announced that he will be stepping down as the head of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases. and as chief medical adviser, surprised and by then while the timing is definitely interesting. do you know anyone who works for a social media platform doin or somebody who works for 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, was 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 vaccine 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's entering the market? now, at these are, 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 risk. it's hardly surprising than that across the pond. the e. u prosecutor's office has now opened an investigation into coven, maxine purchases with all eyes on the european commission of presidents. it seems that arsole of underlying exchange, if you text 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 lions roll in its negotiations. the commission can confirmed and the search undertaken by the president's cabinet for relevant text messages corresponding to the request for access to documents has not yielded any results. we asked the commission to provide us with information on the preliminary nego ations 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 to uncover what lies beneath the billions,

if not trillions made during the pandemic. independent china specialists and or long says washington allows major u. s. corporations to profit from global challenges. first of all, those see americans whose standards of our free freedom of speech, freedom or expression. and of course, that the united states been criticized in countries like china, russia, and other countries for allowing freedom of expression on anything that even threaten their own national security of these countries universally known fact. they're big businesses, especially the so called military industrial complex is part of the the u. s. government machinery. so and then the big oil companies and the big coal companies. so they promote their, their own vested interest in even opposing climate change for example. but as to

whether or not the big pharma would benefiting definitely, i mean, of course, they've been better for the hugely, with all these vaccines. and they turn on, you know, they're different types of scenes and, and, and different very and so, so, so actually to make a lot of money on that i want has decided to extend it to mandatory military service from 4 months to one year starting in 2024, that's as china began ramping up its military activity in the taiwan strait over the weekend. just days after the u. s. authorize a massive security assistance package to the island. china sent over 70 war plains and 7 ships toward ty want in 24 hours on monday in a show, a force i want. officials say it was the largest error incursion to date, though no sirens were sounded that's after beijing condemn the u. s. s. decision to

provide $10000000000.00 and security assistance, i pay the byte it administration label, the chinese drills industry as provocative and reiterated its commitment to the islands defense. the united states is concerned by the people's republic of china's provocative military activity near taiwan, which is to stabilizing risks, miscalculations, and undermines regional peace and stability. we will continue to assist taiwan in maintaining a sufficient self defense capability in line with our long standing commitments and consistent with our one china policy. tensions between beijing and washington escalated after you as how speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan back in august, after which other us lawmakers and foreign delegations also began queueing up to visit the move spark theory from beijing, which in turn launch unprecedented life fire drills encircling, tie one victor, gal, vice president of the center for china and globalization,

says the u. s. is trying to instigate a conflict which goes against the interest of both the chinese and american people . the united states is not doing what president told the chinese leader in body. they are walking the wrong walk. why or sometimes they talk the writing talk. if you read a dangerous mind of some of the decision makers, watches that they probably want to be the last arms, de la taiwan, make all the money in the wrongful way and tried to instigate outbreak of the military conflicts. and then they will come to the top of the claiming themselves as angels. but i think the chinese people on both sides of the power strikes have enough wisdom to see through what the united states is, dewey. because what the united states doing is not for the fundamental interest of the people in taiwan. it is against the parliament of interest,

the people of china. and philosophically it is also against the fundamental in just the american people. because the american people do not want to see a wall proceed. china and the united states for the sake of us government's support of tie was separatism, as tension between washington and beijing. continue to store despite biden's attempts to melt the i some extra say the biggest problems come from us. law makers who keep testing china's red lines for more on that head over to r t dot com. the now to the balkans were tensions in the north of coastal have been escalating. serbian locals have used glory to put up new barricade blocking roads to proceed. this comes after reports emerge that around $1500.00 soldiers of the breakaway coast will republic were put on combat readiness and put intervene in the north of the rigid media

reports the coast of police had rented bulldozers to demolish the barricades. archie contributor nichol a job which has more service. they put the barricades in the course coming up on the south. the entrance of the city. that means that now completely for the most about it is in the north of course are cut off by the front of indians. and that means that they cannot pass into those regions from the serbian side of the matter . that is more the cross link, which is a current that you only crossing the cynthia and shut down for 2 weeks already. service from the local villages, from the serbian side ship, also put up roadblocks and barricades inside there. there are people in cars that are in addition to that sodium, patriarchal feels, was forbidden an entrance to possible. he tried to enter on the same crossing. now better because it is in the serbian tradition for,

for the bates are to be in the last days before christmas weekend people, the russian investigator said that this is a cruel violation of his basic human rights. and also even in the western diplomats, the same thing and everybody agrees that this is not the common practice. and this cannot affect the situation on the rain in any good way or matter unofficially, albanians ask the face, there are several things. one of them is basically to denounce the barricades to say that there are there an act of violence in there to denounce the president and basically to denounce his support for russia as well. and that's our up on this hour's top stories worldwide for more up to the up to the 21st avenue coverage out over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on odyssey rumble. and gab, thanks for tuning, and we'll see you back at the top of the hour. ah,

for, ah, me, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, by any measure, the year 2022 has been transformative. the conflict in ukraine, global inflation growing food insecurity. and the west demand that you are with us or against this dominated our attention on this addition of cross talk, we discussed some of these issues and more. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ready ah.
