a home just to finish the sewer missionary sneakers, the girl whose with russia bones all exposed to any country complying with the g 7 price cup. the measures will come into effect in february. also this hour more than 20000000 children are risk of hunger, thirst on deadly infections in africa. well, that's the latest from unicef. we hear from their regional direct. fortunately, we are going to dis 6 field and raining season, making the situation even worse. and we really need to prepare for the worst case scenario. it's a corrupt of society. i understand that plenty of people running

ukraine on the head of a private u. s. military group, the trains ukrainian soldiers says the country is corrupt. also saying the key of troops have executed russian prisoners of war with committee, alive from our headquarters. here in moscow, you're watching our see international just gone to pm here in the russian capital. i'm here to scott and here the top stories this, our russia has been the exports of crude oil on petroleum products to any country complying with the price cup in post by the west. and that's set to come into force. in february, moscow has branded it a violation of international law ortiz don cosmo. this 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, masika was warning that if such a thing were to happen that moscow would respond with not supplying these countries that go along with this 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. orland gas experts, zach bhalla says that russia's leading those or countries outside of opec. 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 are talking about an international commodity here on we know about the oil can tell call, or peg, or peggy, very from oil cartel kind of influence prizes across the globe and production. what we should also remember that the non opec members actually led by russia for every time you think about saudi arabia. i think very strong oil nation and

a member of opec. you have to look at russia in similar capacity because russia is leading, you know, poil members and not simply mean, i mean, any attempt to, to come up with policies for strategies. i would not be in the interest of russia. i mean, yeah, we should spend some level of retaliation. russian security forces her foiled a terror attack in the north caucasus to culprits were killed in the shoots out of the open fire when trying to escape. according to intelligence services, the men willing to unnamed terrorist organizations and are suspected of working under the instruction of ukrainian special services. there were said to be prepared, in fact, in the north caucasus region, after which they apparently planned to leave the ukraine to fight against russia of esse be officers found a home made bomb machine, gun, and pistol at the scene. the 3rd for any possible accomplices continues.

in other news, the number of children suffering due to an extreme drought across the field, pierre kenyon, somalia has more than doubled in the last 5 months. according to the un children's fund unicef, more than $20000000.00 children are at risk of hunger 1st and deadly infections in africa. well, collective and accelerated efforts have mitigated some of the worst impact of what had been feared. children in the horn of africa, i still facing the most severe drought in more than 2 generations. according to unicef, at least 2000000 children in ethiopia, kenya, and somalia, the hold of africa will need urgent treatments for acute malnutrition. as as 24000000 people face water shortages are children across africa, face labor exploitation, gender based violence, and sexual harassment. mika, van deville, unicef deputy regional director for eastern and southern africa says that situation is deteriorating amid a shortage of funds. we have our colleagues all across the 3 countries,

seeing a tremendous deterioration of the situation of the children in these countries that are affected by draft. and unfortunately we are going to to 6 field rating season making the situation even worse. and we really need to prepare for the worst case scenario. so unless rain is again, less wrote her less livelihoods and increase the acute malnutrition disease outbreak. and of course of food insecurity across those 3 countries that are really affected severely by the drought specially the youngest really are at risk for its severe malnutrition. and for us to really help them, there's only one particular intervention that is really required, which is ready to use the republic feeding. and if children are molnar race,

the risk is march, how your, if they catch me so that they would actually pass away. so there is, so not only uni said, we have a un family that is looking for money. everybody has their own mandate and they need to find a funding together in the horn. it is not an easy environment to raise funds, especially because the funds that we need are constantly increasing and they. * also increasing not only because of the number of children that are affected, but also because of some of the inflation and the price increase that we see across the world. so we, we also need to deal with those challenges at the same time the head of a private u. s. military grief which trains ukrainian soldiers hadley, is labeled. the country corrupt will also say that ukrainian fighters have killed russian prisoners of war. 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 your train, it's not about that. it's about global norms, right? packet and the mode sod 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 key if 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 violating laura laura, vom conflict co 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 glorify 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 foreign weapons sent to ukraine,

accounted for by let's see that the very last concern that the united states government should 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 by facts, than off. all right. body armor helmets. you name it. is it safe to characterize this is a little bit of a black hole, i suppose if you don't have his ability 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 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 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. the nazi groups like the as a battalion that used to be reputation, li, toxic, and deficiency band 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 carte 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 words, sick people and the soldiers are rampantly committing atrocities. actually one of the hosts tries to walk back the term atrocities and he cracks and says, no, these are atrocities. and they are being committed there. so as a very candid sasha, 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 the war effort as a whole, because this is what the $45000000000.00 already allocated for 2023 by congress, which just clap like seals for zalinski is paying for and 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 and africa is another region suffering due to the conflicts in ukraine. speaking its original summit back in november. nigeria, as president claimed that weapons initially designated for key if of ended up in the hands of local terrorist groups. they also said that the war threatened his

country security. regrettably, the situation in the saw heal in the raging war in ukraine service. major sources of weapons and fights is to boast of the ranks of the terrorists in lake chad, region. weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region. the former piece keeper in sudan, molly says that the west has contributed to the instability in africa to his ongoing support of ukraine. for my partner, the west is only risking its future value. they realize 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. 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. in the news the pence again, it has still not responded to the us congress on america's a legit role in a 2017 as strike in nigeria that claimed more than a 100 civilian lives. back in september, the u. a secretary of defense was given 90 days, trivial details all that strike. but that deadline has now passed. the intercept news website suggests that the unwillingness to respond may be a sign 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 then set us africa command launched a secret investigation just days after the attack on the refugee camp. the documents cold, the air strike, an example of u. s. nigeria operations. although african officials denied involvements enough, incidents, nigerian researcher from human rights watch says that washington's unwillingness to

provide clarity is troubling. pant against failure to provide information and documents to determine possible u. s. involvement in, in a strike that took manny civilian lives in northern nigeria. does not bode well for the u. s. government's expressed can make mental 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 for those killed in the air strikes had been fleeing the conflicts. in ne, in nigeria, where the government's fighting militants, nigerian officials have expressed regrets of the attack. a local correspondence brings us more 5 years ago and none geron military, a strike, it's a civilian comp in the board at all. no. for ron, 180 kilometers from middlebury, claiming that the life of at least 115 people,

including children and humanitarian walkers, the pentagon, st. call one investigation into the u. s. military involvement in the actual city has thrown in reaction from me. the agree residence i levy, i'm sorry we 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 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 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 while

that's how twitter c o e long mos describe the culture of social media companies. his 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. now, mosques statements follows the release of so called twitter files, which appear to show that the u. s. government influence the social media companies, content moderation. although it has to be said, that mosque himself has been accused of bonnie's journalist, whose views that he doesn't agree with. the latest batch of his father, though, has revealed that the vital administration, a pitiful pressure on the social media giants in short, sweets were in line with the government official cobra policy ortiz marina casa cos river explains 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'll hunt 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 tested for efficacy before it answered the markets. 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 opened an investigation into coven vaccine 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 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 to uncover what lies beneath the billions, if not trillions made during the pandemic. of the u. s. public is now calling on congress to investigate links between the f

b i on social media companies us according to recent rasmussen, report survey shine especially under long as says that the pandemic provided a profitable business opportunity for some us countries. first of all, those, the americans that will standards of our free freedom of speech, freedom of 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 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 benefit thing, definitely, i mean, of course, the, the benefit to 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, so actually to make a lot of money out of it. and finally in the pals, new coalition government is seeking to maintain ties with both china and india. with the administration's main focus, been on the south asian countries, economic growth will maintain relationships of equal proximity with both our neighbors. we must immediately focus on containing inflation, maintain reserves, race capital expenses narrowed to trade deficit and lower interest rates. former maoist, gorilla fighter push park. come aldo hall has been appointed prime minister for a 3rd time, and aimed to strike

a balance between the pals and neighboring regional powers at china. and india or india remains to pause biggest trading partner while it's partnership with beijing does continue to deepen. earlier we spoke to a senior nepali journalist to gets more about the country's relations with its neighbors. india deep, clear medium, mediately rolled bringing mowing to the political ministry. minipaul trenice, the lead was india reeds, head of bigger m, ready, intrinsic relations remain while until 2005. but when india did blue media to rome in inner bringing maoris to the peace process in the fall and succeeded in there. making india started directly getting enrolled in the internal politics in coordination with the european union and us that the time

grant signed that became very suspicious of orders increased presence of the western countries. not so much of india that why are eastern the western countries europe in you and in all you is coming in such a big scale in naples, into politics. so in a retaliatory diplomacy, i also started including his presence investment and now has become really, really strong. it has got a really strength was instantly that's all for now. debby schultz, checkouts all websites, all t dot com for all the latest breaking news on updates on those stories that you've just seen. and we'll see a ride by k and around about 30 minutes time. ah, ah
