for the trail, ah, when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, russia buns, oil exports to any country complying with the g 7 price cup. the measures will come into effect in february. also ahead did say can rob up society, i understand that plenty of people running your train, the head of a private u. s. military group, the trains ukrainian soldiers says the country is corrupt. also saying that kids troops have executed russian prisoners of war. and the pentagon continues to delay a response about this role in a deadly s like in nigeria in 2017. that resulted in more than $100.00 civilian deaths local residents to monitor investigation. and maverick is a war power,

but whoever is behind these should be investigated. those who are behind this should be brought to justice with committee alive from our studio. here in moscow, you're watching the international monies be to scott's here with all the latest mid date this wednesday. are russia has been the exports of crude oil on petroleum products to any country complying with the price comp imposed by the west, which is sets coming to force in february moscow's branded? it's a violation of international law. ortiz dakota has more. this presidential decree outlines 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. first 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. live now to oil and gas experts. zach ball is that good, thanks so much for joining us today. here on our team. i'm to. first off, i just want to ask you, what do you think will be the implications of russia's response to this price top? while the implication will be interesting, what i the end of the day, it will be in the positive interests of russia, because this is what i want everybody to understand across the gloom. when you talk about oil and gas, you're talking about an international commodity here. and we know about the oil can tell call, or peg or tank is a very strong oil cartel that can employ and prizes across the globe and production . what we should also remember that the non opec members actually led by russia.

so every time you think about saudi arabia as a very strong oil nation and a member of opec, you have to look at russia in similar capacity because russia is leading on oral members. and that simply means, i mean, any attempt to, to come up with policies or strategies. i would not be in the interest of russia. i mean, yeah, we should get some level of retaliation. so do you expect to see prices continue to rise as this deadline approaches for oil and gas? sure. what i also see is the 2 ish on where the yacht is likely to be a candle reconciliate 3 approach because you're talking about energy source here. and we know how strong russia is when you talk about global, and it just applies the do you think we will see pressure on opec to boost production in order to combat those possibly high prices?

and if so, do you think they will all, will the influence of opec plus maybe stop that? i see pressures being put on or on opec. what i also see a situation where open will prefer to maintain high relationship with non opec member countries. the lead by irosia. so i see a situation where i'm trying to come in to the to broker kind of reconciliation and understanding what many in the west say that they've already imposed an embargo on russian oil. so when this, this, this price cup comes into effect, will it affect them anyway? if they're, if it's not buying it? well, it will affect them so much. i actually, it's the racial aware. so for the 1st time, some citizens will start rising against the lead us, you know, in the west i see

a situation like that because the limit to which our citizens can, can tolerate hardship and inflation. we know what, what it would do russia, you grid prices has cost. we know what to do cuz we're not virus. you could be 19 has caused a lot of countries are trying to, to return to normalcy. and many citizens have lost the job across the world. so any attempts to come up and try to impose this price cap is going to be med via by some panel, protests unconcerned by a citizen, especially of the booth called sounds. countries. indeed, we already have seen some unrest in europe amid the cost of living crisis. now, do you, do you see that they'll be shifting dynamics in the supply of russian, oil and gas? obviously, we know the india's robinson purchases of the fuel is talk of pakistan. china, of course. do you see this trend? continuous decor? i mean, is it straightforward?

i see it continued. and the reason why i said, because issue in particular will be more comfortable with russia down the line on the west. asia has been betrayed so many time on wednesday are, are concerns with united nations or in other areas of international politics. we, it's very clear that ross yet tends to be more disposed towards isha. so in situations like this issue will be looking at the long term relationship. long term economy benefits know the starts already early days, weeks, months of the war and ukraine, obviously there was a talk about europe. so the braking is dependence on russian oil and gas. when it, when it did, oil and gas prices are tried to rows, which in turn, so the increase you increase the flows of money from this revenue into the russian budgets. have these functions on the russian fossil fuels had the,

the impacts, the western hopes. as far as i'm concerned, i will say no, practically because, i mean, i'm basing in late last night julia and i remember a couple of weeks really a couple of months ago. i mean some, some investors or some, some organizations from the west actually visited africa. i'm not visited, also nigeria, and wanted to extinguish new approaches to relationships. i had to do with pipelines, guys on group oil supplies, but i didn't know. i think it was, it was not successful. it wasn't positive. and i simply means that, i mean russia were to remain strong. i, like i said, remember, just the way you have saudi be leading open member countries. russia is the one lead, all the non open member countries that should be taken care of. i mean, i shouldn't be noted well, oil gas experts,

zach bhalla. thank you very much for your thoughts today on that price cup and rushes response to it's been a pleasure talking on the program. thank you. find you in the news, the head of a private u. s. military group that trains ukrainian soldiers has labeled the country corrupt . and he's also said that ukrainian fighters have killed russian prisoners of war. they say 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. food and the mozart group and 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. 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 by lady laura laura vom conflict. she killed due to, i mean, every nose surrender, i mean and then now 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 has 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. i would say 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 are not getting the right drones switch blades. i fax that off. all right, body armor helmets, you name it is it seems to characterize this is a little bit of

a black hole. i mean, i suppose if you don't have visibility of whether stuff is going and if you are 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 repeated 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 launches, 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 rebranded 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 have russia cave 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 jean 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 host tries to walk back the term atrocities, and he cracks and says, no, these are atrocities. and they are being committed there, so it was

a very candid session, you know, drinking session with colonel andy milburn providing a view of ukrainian society that he had a front seat to having train so many soldiers. and that u. s. media still refuses to tell americans about as the host of team house 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 putin and destabilizing russia enough because another region so fringe. it's the war in ukraine speaking its original summit back in november. nigeria, presidents claim that weapons initially doesn't need to forgive, have ended up in the hands of local terrorist groups. and he said that the war threatened his country 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 chad. region weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region of the former peacekeepers, sudan, and molly says that the west has contributed to the instability in africa. g 2 is ongoing support of ukraine. for my partner, the west is only risking its future then they realize now that everything is more or less lost, but they don't really want to lose face. the west thinks it can always restore its

image, but i don't think that's the case at all. they're 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. in libya, for instance, it was the west that caused everything, and then libya essentially fell. thus, a halo region of africa is now in chaos. these are all the games of the west. in my opinion the pentagon still hasn't responded to the u. s. congress on america's a legit role in a 2017 air strike in the gerry that claimed more than a 100 civilian lives. back in september, the u. s. secretary of defense was given 90 days to reveal details of the a strike. that deadline has now passed. the intercept news website suggest that the willingness to respond may be an indication of guilt. 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. well, according to the documents seen by the intercept, us africa command launched a secret investigation just days after the attack on a refugee camp, the documents calls the s drive an example of u. s. nigerian operations, although african officials denied any involvement in the incidence. and i, during researcher from human rights watch, says that washington's unwillingness to bride clarity is troubling the pant against failure to provide information and documents to determine possible u. s. involvement in a strike that took man a civilian lives in northern nigeria does not bode well for the u. s. government's expressed commitment to transparency and accountability. it sounds a worrisome message that at minimum, the defense department isn't willing to engage on an issue affecting countless lives and may even reflect an attempt to evade responsibility. with those killed in the air strikes had been fleeing the conflicts in northeastern nigeria where the

government's fighting militants, madrid officials have expressed regrets of the talk. look, correspondence brings us more details. 5 years ago and 9 children mutually as tried seats as civilian. com and the board at all, no 4, ron, 180 kilometers from maple gree, claiming the life of at least 115 people, including children and humanitarian walk us the pentagon's call one investigation into the u. s. military involvement in the atrocity has thrown reaction from me, degree residence and i levy and submitted it to but she, this investigation is very good because we have waited for so known to know what happened. but no one said anything. even though it's light, we want to know you conducted the attack. we know america is a war paula, 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 died and some have been made

homeless. so are not and are there are, 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 heavy censorship. well that's how it's with the theo ilan mos describe the culture of social media companies whose policies, according to him, are influenced by the u. s. government. every social media company is engaged in heavy censorship with significant involvement of and at times explicit direction of the government. a mosque statement follows the release of the so called twitter files, which appear to show that the u. s. government influence the social media companies, content, moderation, but it has to be said, that mosque himself has been accused of, but in journalists, whose views doesn't he doesn't agree with the latest batch. all sorts of files has

revealed to the biden administration for pressure on the social media giant. so in short, tweets were in line with the government's official cobra policy ortiz. marina crossover 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 t. 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 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 where it was last. 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 like scene 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 lions roll in its 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 ations for disagreement. 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. the earth public is now calling on congress to investigate links between the f b i on social media companies us. according to a recent rasmussen report survey, china specialist under long us as the pandemic provided a profitable business opportunity for some u. s. companies. good waldo c. a american that who standards about free freedom of speech and freedom of expression. and of course, that the united states been criticizing 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 as part of the the u. s. government machinery. so, and then the big oil companies and it 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 benefit thing, definitely, i mean of course the, the brent benefit the hugely, with all these vaccines and they turn on, you know, they're different types of scenes and, and, and then with different very and so, and so forth actually to make a lot of money on that and over to tie $1.00 now, which has extended it's mandatory military service from 4 months to one year starting in 2024. that says china is going to ramping up is military activity in the taiwan straits over the weekend, just days of the us authorized

a massive security assistance package to the island. jonathan's over 70 aircraft and 7 war ships. so we'll tie one on monday. so in officials that was the largest air incursion to dave, stuff to beijing condemned the u. s. s. decision to provide $10000000000.00 in security assistance. it's, i pay the bite and ministration labeled. the chinese drills in the straits of provocative and reiterated its commitment to the island defense. the united states is concerned by the people's republic of china's provocative military activity in your taiwan, which is destabilizing risks, miscalculations, and undermines regional peace instability. we will continue to assist taiwan and maintaining a sufficient self defense capability in line with our long standing commitments and consistent with our one china policy on sanctions between beijing and washington escalated further after us. how speak and nancy pelosi visited sy one back in august of the move spots fury from beijing, which in turn launched unprecedented live fire drills and surfing the island with

the gal, vice president of the sense of china and globalization says the u. s. is only funding the flames. united states is not doing what president. ready told the chinese leader in body, they are walking the wrong walk. while sometimes they talk to roy talk. if you read the dangerous mind of some of the decision makers in washington, they probably want to be the last arms dealer to taiwan, make all the money in the wrongful way, and try to instigate outbreak of military conflicts. and then they will come to the top of the claim in themselves as angels. but i think the challenge people on both sides of the taiwan straits have enough wisdom to see through what the united states is. do the because what the united states doing is not for the fundamental interest of the people in taiwan. it is against the fundamental interest or people

of china and philosophically, it is also against the fundamental interest of the american people. because the american people do not want to see a war prosy, china and the united states for the sake of u. s. government support of ty was separatism. that's all for now. db shots checkouts r c dot com for the latest breaking news on updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour. ah, ah, with
