ah ah, russia buns, oil exports to any country complying with the g 7 price cup the measures will come into effect in february. also, they saw in the program more than 20000000 children are at risk of hunger, thirst on deadly infections in africa. that's the latest from unicef. we heard from the regional director. fortunately, i'm going to to 6 fields and raining c said, making the situation even worse. and the van you need to prepare for the worst case scenario. it's a corrupt of society. i understand that plenty of people running

ukraine, the head of a private u. s. military group, the trains ukrainian soldiers says the country is corrupt. also saying the kids have executed russian prisoners of war with watching r t international monies. peter scott, and wherever you joining us from, welcome to 30 minutes of news and analysis bushes been the exports of crude oil on petroleum products to any country complying with the price cup imposed by the west. just sets come into force in february moscow's branded, it's a violation of international law ortiz, don't call to a pixel the story. 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. 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 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. a loyal and gas experts, zacko bala says it rushes leading those countries to 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 globe. when you talk about quaylon gas, you are talking about an international commodity here. on we know about the oil cartel call, or peg, or peggy very from oil cartel dot com influence prizes across the globe. i'm production. what we should also remember that the non opec members actually lead by russia for every time you think about saudi arabia. i think very strong oil nation. i'm a member of opec. you have to look at russia in similar capacity because russia is

leading all coil members on that, simply mean, i mean, any attempt to, to come up with policies or strategies that will not be in the interest over russia . i mean, yeah, we should have some level of retaliation. person security forces have foiled a terror attack in the north caucasus. ducal prince were killed in a shootouts after they opened fire when trying to escape. according to intelligence services, the men willing to unnamed terrorist organizations and suspected of working under the instruction of ukrainian special services there were said to be an attack in the north caucasus region, after which they apparently planned to leave for ukraine to fight against russia. as b officers found a homemade bomb, a machine gun under pistol at the scene. the search for possible accomplices does continue ah, the number of children suffering due to extreme droughts across ethiopia, kenya,

and somalia has more than doubled in 5 months. according to the un children's form, you deserve more than 20000000 children on risk of hunger, thirst, and deadly infections in africa. while collective and accelerated efforts have mitigated some of the worst impact of what had been feared, children in the horn of africa are still facing the most severe drought in more than 2 generations. according to unicef, at least 3000000 children in ethiopia, kenyon somali, the whole of africa will need to urgent treatment for acute malnutrition. that the 24000000 people face water shortages are children across africa face labor exploitation, gender based violence on sexual harassment. the bundle unit stuff deputy regional director for eastern and so then africa says the 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 i'm going to to 6 field, raining 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, the food insecurity across those 3 countries that are really affected severely by the draft 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 are, we are also need to deal with those challenges at the same time. and turning through india, now we're drucquer. factories across the country are currently under investigation by the pharmaceuticals regulated us off. the gumby accused the calmness of links between children's as an indian made cough syrup in the says the medicine was not

to blame. let's go live now to ortiz, india correspondence. runjun sharma, thanks for joining us. runjun. can you tell us more about gumby as accusations on the investigations thrown away please? yes, was firstly india is recognized in the world as the pharmacy off the wall. and now these reports, 1st from gambia and now from us based on assure, are denting in the pharmaceutical industry. in fact, let me also point out here that in the last decade or so of the exports as far as pharmaceuticals and concerned they've more than doubled or so. and essentially what happened in october, the world health organization linked to death of around $66.00 children with indian made cough syrup, quote, unquote, contaminated indian mean golf ups. and essentially, very recently, on the 13th of december, the drug regulator of india wrote to the world health organization,

seeing that samples from all of these pharmaceuticals were collected. and all of these pharmaceutical samples that were collected. in fact, they were tested in a government lab and all the samples but found safe and also complying with quality specifications. essentially said that the world health organization made a very premature sort of link between the deaths of children in gambia to these cough syrup that was applied for it. and also they said that they were only supplied in west part of africa. having said that, india eve conducting searches, india is conducting inspections. country wide across the country. teams have been made by the drug regulator of india and v r, inspecting pharmaceuticals. company both big and small, in a sense to assure the world that india does care about processes safety and it's

not going to compromise on that. ranges. shauna sees india corresponding thanks very much for being the latest on that cough syrup investigation. thank you. at least one person has died with several others injured and trumps. after a major pile up on the bridge in china, according to chinese media, more than 200 vehicles collided on a bridge due to a stream fog video circulating on social media show. chaotic scenes of cars and trucks turned over with some on top of each other. local traffic police had reportedly warned early on foggy weather and have now been vehicles from using the bridge. in other news, the head of a private u. s. military group, the trains ukrainian soldiers has labeled the country corrupt. well, also saying that you, courtney 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 funny people running ukraine. it's not bad that it's about global norms, right? right. this path it and 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 on a pedestal 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 ukrainians are in violation of harm der, hey, convention. they're filming of a number of things that they're doing with her. a p. o w's is fi, lady laura, don. laura vom conflict is she cold due to, i mean, every knows who surrendered them in on and, and now there was plenty of them. all. this is something you wouldn't expect to hear from the same person who publicly glorified the war in ukraine as just. and it's 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 once in an interview. for instance, the former colonel is unequivocal. all foreign weapons send to ukraine, accounted for. 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 and it's almost like his evil twin then appears on cbs. with a statement that sounds the polar opposite. i can tell you on arguably that on the front line units, these things and are getting there are 8 am drones or switch blades. i facts. they're not. all right. body armor 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 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 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, he 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, 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 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 words, 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 as 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 claim 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 on africa. another region suffering due to the conflicts and ukraine, speaking at the regional summit, back in november, nigeria, as president claimed that weapons initially designated a key if have ended up in the hands of local terrorist groups. he also said that the war threats and 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 late chad region. weapons being used for the war in ukraine and russia are equally beginning to filter to the region a form of peace keeper instead on a molly says that the west has contributed to the instability in africa, uses ongoing support of ukraine bed for my father, the west is only risking its future them if 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's now and chaos. these are all the games of the west, in my opinion. the pentagon has still not responded to the u. s.

congress on america's alleged role in a 2017 as try can nigeria that claimed more than a 100 civilian lives in september? the or sexy defense was given 90 days to reveal details of that as strike. but our deadline has since passed. the inception news website suggests the unwillingness 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. according to the documents seen by the intercepts 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. nigerian operations, although african officials denied any involvement enough, incidents. and i, during research, if i'm human rights watch, says that washington's willingness on willingness to provide courtesy is troubling . bound against failure to provide information in tal commence to determine

possible u. s. involvement in, in a strike that took manny civilian lives in ne nigeria does not bode well for the u . s. government's expressed commitment to transparency and accountability. it sounds worrisome message that at minimum, the defense department isn't willing to engage an issue affecting countless lives. and may even reflect an attempt to evade responsibility. well, those killed in the air strikes had been fleeing the conflicts in north eastern nigeria where the government's fighting militants, not yet. officials have expressed regrets of the attack. and the local correspondence brought as this report. 5 years ago, and i'm sure i'm mutually as tried. he's a civilian comp and the board at all. no, for ron, 180 kilometers from maple cree, claiming that the life of at least 115 people, including children and humanitarian walk us the pentacles called one investigation

into the u. s. military involvement in the ottawa city. a strong reaction from may degree residence. i levy as i mentioned it to but she this investigation is very queued because we have ways 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 the war paula, but whoever is behind these should be investigated. because these will put everyone off making similar mistakes in the future when we don't want this investigation to be politically influenced. what a lot of children and families died and some have been made homeless. so or 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. i do not have a sense a ship. well, that's how twitter, seo, isla most distraught 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. almost statement follows the release of the so called switzer files, which appear to show that the u. s. government influence the social media companies, content moderation, or has to be said that mosque himself has been accused of banning journalists, whose views he doesn't agree with. what's the latest bunch of twitter files has revealed that the by did administration put pressure on the social media jones, so short tweets were in line with the government's official covered policy ortiz, marina cosser 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 to president biden. while 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 or 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 maxine 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 essentially the market? no. 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 then 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 arsenal of underlying exchange. if you text messages with visors 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 confirm the dis, 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 asians 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 whether it's cove it policies, so we may need a few more to uncover what lies beneath the billions, if not trillions made during the pandemic. will years public is now calling on congress to investigate links between the f b i n social media companies. as, according to a recent rasmussen report survey, china specialist, andrew long says that the pandemic provided

a profitable business opportunity for some years. companies. first of all, those, the american that was 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 as 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, the hugely,

with all these vaccines and they turn on, you know, they're different types of scenes and, and, and then with different variant and so on, so forth actually to make a lot of money on the pounds new coalition government is seeking to maintain ties with china and india. with the administration's main focus been on the south asian countries, economic growth will maintain relationships of the creeper cosivity with both our neighbors. we must immediately focus on contain inflation, maintain reserves, race capital expenses narrowed to trade deficit and lower interest rates. for the maoist, gorilla fighter push part come out, the hall has been appointed prime minister for a 3rd time. that aims to strike a balance between the pulse, neighboring regional powers, china and india. india still remains the policy biggest trading partner, while it's partnership with beijing continues to deepen. we spoke to

a senior senior nepali journalist to get more about the country's relations with his neighbors. india need clear, ready to mediately ruled, bringing my ways to the political been streaming nipple. traditionally, it was india which had a bigger and ready of intrinsic relations remain until 2005. but when india did player mediated at all in bringing my always to the peace process and they fall and succeeded in that when i started getting enrolled in the internal politics in coordination with the european union and us that are the grid side, it became very suspicious of all this increase presence of the countries, not so much of india, that why eastern wisdom countries you look in, you and in,

or us coming in, such a big scale in naples. forty's. so you know, you tell it to be messy. so you also started including his split ins, investment, and now has become really, really strong. it has got a really strong present and the last all from me peter stopped for now. but i'll be putting the button onto off the nick yarn will be here in just over 30 minutes time to bring you all the latest and take you into the evening. thank you very much for watching. ah, ah, ah

ah ah. ready ready ah. ready ready ready ready a a, a, a, a, a, a, a.
