ah, i'm with germany, he's vice chancellor accuses vladimir, of holding the energy crisis raging across europe. but critics claim blurred lens only got itself to play. also ahead on the program with our desk with russian gave along the river here. unmanned aerial drones become a major component of that. fighting for don boss, we take you to the front lines where our correspondent details up close to the effects of weaponized with

a senior indian government minister accuses us form a giant pfizer of having attempted to bully new delhi and to providing legal protection from any side effects of its kobe back with to help you with this for the news. our 30 minutes of global news and views from moscow starts germany. he's vice chancellor has taken aim. vladimir directly accusing the russian president of being responsible for the energy crisis in europe. half of the gas supply to germany stopped because putin has cut it off. now the supply has been stopped completely and it will not come back to us. with the help of these 3 power stations, we will get back at least a quarter of what we have lost. well, it kinda seems like germany is vice chancellor seems to be not entirely in touch with reality. sure berlin is going to have to burn more coal now to heat german

homes, but it's the west that shot itself in the foot here. i mean, russia has time and time again reiterated that it is committed to fulfilling its contractual obligations when it comes to energy supplies. and it's done just that through the turk stream pipeline, and even through ukraine, although at a lower rate than took place last year, because kia back in may started closing down pipelines that were shipping russian gas to the european union. then there's poland, that placed sanctions on gas problem and then refused to pay for russian gas in rubles, despite the fact that european union sanctions made it impossible to do otherwise. and at the end of the last year, they even seized and stole das problems. assets still on polish territory, and it could be argued as well that russia is just being made a convenient scapegoat here. because for years we heard this endless campaigning about green energy, even though critic said, we don't have that in place. we're going to need gas, coal,

oil. you also had western governments shutting down industries because of covert. and now we're seeing the side effects. but yet this is the problem. rush is the problem. the noise stream pipeline sabotaged in september last year. how did effect as well, the gas supply in germany, a big issue? well, after the series of explosions across these north stream pipelines, the swedish investigation confirms that this was an active, sabotaged by a state actor actually. and interestingly enough, dad's problem was not even allowed to participate in this investigation. this is something that understandably made. moscow thinks that the west perhaps had something to hide. and it really to wander out of all of the global powers who would be most interested in destroying these pipelines and covering up an act of sabotage like that. my sister who is interested in ukraine receiving money. ukraine gets money from us for the gas trends. it, it's us who pays them a video, and despite the fact that they call us aggressors,

they take our money just like that, which money doesn't smell, who is interested in the russian gas supply to europe, and this is going only through ukraine's and it's the one who blew up the north stream pipeline, moved quickly with another aspect. all this european countries are turning to liquefied natural gas supplies, particularly from the u. s. as an alternative to russian gas despite much higher prices. take us through that. while like you said, the european union's been investing billions of euro's into infrastructure in the hopes that liquefied natural gas can solve the european union's energy needs. and that's not only costing the european taxpayer a lot of money right now. because at the end of the day, this l. n g is going to make the import of any sort of, of energy a lot more expensive. and a much of this price hike is actually going to go straight into the pockets of american energy corporation. something that the white house was talking about, trying to accomplish, even before russia's military operation began. first of all,

we're looking at opportunities to make up for lost cash l n g, from russia. we're on their way of turn, how see what we can do to do that. do dealing with our friends around the world as well. we think we could make up a significant portion of it. oh, that would be lost. it is if washington and brussels think that inflation and high energy prices aren't making ordinary people's lives difficult enough. so understandably, europeans have taken to the streets to protest these western anti russian policies . ah, ah

no doesn't look like the western authorities are going to be changing course any time soon, but what's equally as unfortunate as all of this finger pointing at russia for energy problems that the west clearly created for itself. but german attorney on ameritas, professor of law at the university of south africa, dr. and great thomas house and believes it's europe's crusade against russian energy which has led to the certain crisis. today. it is quite obvious that russia never stopped to supply any guess. it is in germany and european union in there have been something that cause i could even say again, it's bratia who publicly, every day put in my full puts in must be removed and no more gas from russia. and the german public was prepared for an increase in gas prices with the reasoning that out of sort of that or to for the credit, germany would not buy one gigawatt hour of rush. guess now that germany economy

depends. its energy economy depends $0.55 on natural gas and 45 percent on natural gas from russia to replace the very short notice that started importing natural gas liquified form l n g. the price of gas in germany is not fixed for higher. the price for electricity has increased tenfold. the russian defense ministry say's its troops are taking control over another settlement in don bos, official state, the area of direction near solar door has been secured in the done yet the republic, the m o. d also say ukrainian forces have suffered around 50 casualties and recent fighting in the area with 2 armored combat vehicles among the hardware destroyed se well, weaponized drones, they've become

a major component in conflict. they're used for conducting recognizance operations as well as destroying. of course, enemy positions are senior correspondent, morale county has been witnessing their effects these close to the front lines. roads are a mortal hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover, even that scant. ah, some of the less the closest they are is 700 meters away at 3 o'clock. they're in a total of 3 directions. also a 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock and our boys are there to their rotating today and they're doing well. this area was recently ceased from ukrainian forces. they know every path, every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions. must be

extra careful. drones guide them along. ah, we're scouting ahead to make sure that the way is clear and then our boys will get there safely. these soldiers list of all volunteers of the act my battalions answering to the church and president rams, and could thereof, to ensure everything went smoothly. a flash support team armed with an automatic grenade launcher, was ordered to dissuade the enemy from trying anything. some of the most intense fighting he's underway, ukrainian units are desperate to reverse russian games along the river. here through the rotation was the success. but as the drone flew back,

it noticed something unusual. fresh fortifications and the enemy troops concealed under the tree cover, or espana discovered enemy positions at a distance of 450 to 750 meters away from us. their group targets enemy fortifications, armor and vehicles, but yet within minutes coordinates were reported to h. q. at the orders went out to nearby artillery about a bad day delay the mission had changed. they were now to keep at a distance and correct artillery. fire about corrections were laid. the next barrage struck home. although i'm on my list like this is biker, right on the target that he repeat. this is modern warfare. this is the dominant

form of combat across the front lines, artillery and drones. in a seamless liter link on the front lines, soldiers have learned to fear drones. they always watch and listen for the characteristic, but that harold's a barrage of iron, fire, and shrapnel, y o at yahoo, d a r t. well, on a related theme, berlin is resisting international pressure on sending its coveted leopard 2 tanks to ukraine on friday, a visit by the u. s. defense secretary was aimed at pushing berlin to give keith's they having machinery. now says washington itself is not sending any vets. thanks. a french politician has warned some of the dangers of such an escalation in weaponry. under pressure from american hawks e. u. countries are going into total delirium over the delivery of increasingly

heavy weapons to zalinski, micron, mave, and donate la clerk tanks. american hawks won a world war in europe. we're seeing different european countries. yeah. hungary, croatia close to them. serbia, they're all saying what was going on. why are the west or western european countries or nato countries sending these weapons? it's not working. and now it got people like under it was there. here's the chairperson of the german armed forces association, which is telling the german government to stop sending weapons because it's depleting its own stocks. and we know this throughout nato. nato countries are deeply in their own stocks for i would say a policy which is which is not working in different countries. the small countries, i would say courageous countries like hungary in croatia or voicing their concern and saying, why are we doing this? what is, what is the use of this the, this is pro, tracking the war, and it's driving us further into it which can at the end be extremely dangerous for us. which is interesting. seeing this, the smaller countries think that they don't believe in the,

and the war mongering rhetoric coming out from that. the nato countries and within the u. fully european union is not just quarreling with the u. s, but amongst itself to crochet says president had some pretty choice words for the e. u foreign policy chief use a barrel accusing the blocks leadership of having a condescending attitude towards members. things burrell st. theresa memo last month filled with lies in which he treats us as if we were retarded. excuse my language, as if we had special needs. at some point enough is enough. this kind of treatment is deeply irritating. today they do this to hungary, tomorrow it will be some other bigger country. they want to bring into line. they did it to poland until recently to poland now gets a past due to the situation in ukraine, but their turn will come again tomorrow. if the e u wants to progress it has to accept this diversity. the president

milosevic making those comments during a press conference in budapest with his hon, gary and counterpart. both countries remain opposed to the anti rushes sanctions, which they say only hurts europe. the croatian president also accused the use leadership of failing to acknowledge the individual of each of its members state. we earlier raised the issue with the head of the euro continent news on analysis side p or a manual to mom. the comments of her christian, the president, reflects the huge struggle of power between a member states, nations and earth. european bureaucracy, european union bureaucracy would like to or use each crises in europe, internal and external, to add more power and her to were, impose its own views on the european project. and some member states are resisting,

especially your. now we're hungary, for example, her, which she's refusing over your interpretation of a rule of role of a european union or and her. oh, so it's approach on ukraine and no croix shot a siding mo week, the hungary, these 2 countries, curation, hungary think a european union should better of the boat. are you europe, as she does ish, and, and not as an appendix of nate to in washington. jupiter got objectives ah, modern barbarism. that is how turkeys described a protest by a controversial swedish danish political figure who publicly burn the koran on saturday in the name of democratic values. rasmus palo done sets fire to is lambs, holy book in front of the turkish embassy and spoke them with the permission of the

swedish authorities during his speech he also brandon turkeys, president on islamist dictator. paloton is known for organizing similar stunts in the past and was convicted of racism in denmark after forcing an anti islam video on social media. last year, his announcement that he was to embark on a koran burning tour during the muslim holy month of ramadan college, public outrage and spark riots in sweden. for turkey condemned the swedish authority for a wearing the latest protesting encourages hate crime. and cro also counselled a plot and visits of sweden's defense minister over the issue which was aimed at resolving turkey's concerns about stock homes paid to join nato. and according to t r t worlds editor at large use the firm, the events could weigh heavy on sweden's, a session helped. i think it was trying to send a message that we are not ready to become a member of nato. and that's the way i start receiving it because this has now me

region, accession bid, and it potential ratification through thirties are a very popular issue that it probably can be consider dead on arrival now probably for the rest of the year. i don't think the conversations don't get opened up any time. the images are now very busy that created a lot of outreach and you get like a lot of outreach inside the muslim world. they probably are alienated many of the needle members who are advocating on trying to create some dialogue with get to try to get to get the ratified we need of it. so the other day back home is now it's own entity and it's probably shot a silver bullet in its own. but ah, india tech minister has accused pfizer of pressuring the country's government to give the u. s. farm, a giant legal protection. in the case of side effects emerging from its corporate

vaccine, the allegation sparked a strong rebuttal by an indian parliament member himself was accused of supporting western jobs over domestically produced once. just to remind all indians that fight tried to bully the government of india into accepting conditions of indemnity. and jerome ramesh kept pushing the case of foreign vaccines during covered. this is total mister minister. let not your ambition to claim the greasy pole make you more of a liar than you are. in 2021, pfizer was among the 1st vaccine producers to apply for emergency use authorization in india, but it withdrew the application of the country's pharmaceutical watchdog request in a clinical study to confirm the safety of the child. later the same year. india confirmed it wouldn't by pfizer. his job with report saying the company's demands for legal protection was the primary reason why out the world economic forum and

dof us this week, pfizer, c e o brushed off some questions about the vaccine safety and effectiveness. you said it was 100 percent effective, then 90 percent and 80 percent, then 70 percent. but we now know that the vaccines do not trans saw transmission. why did you keep that secret driven? i was good. i won't have a nice day until i know the answer. why did you keep it a secret that your vaccine did not stop transmission this morning to be called regarding the now regarding the system on the ice, that knocked reviews. and also like i said, one of the 1st back was for emergency but later developed and we have no look back to me right now. and most of the backseat,

i'll be right back to be given a $2200000000.00 back even didn't get this. and so you need more into indigenous will thing with corporate controversies, recent studies by european n g o have claimed the e u vaccine deals, including again with pfizer prioritize financial interest over public health concerns or t country. bitter rachel martians been delving a little deeper into level jury jose, the european union rolled out a block y q r. code system has proof of vaccination for travel leisure and in some cases a condition of employment. even as reports started raising doubts about how reliable the shot actually was when he came to stopping infection transmission and even death. it's like there was this interest in brussels to move fast and getting

shots in 2 arms as quickly as possible and getting this digital identity system linked to the job status into place as an incentive for people to take the shots. now for months, skeptical members of the european parliament have been demanding to know what kind of deal the blocks leadership actually signed with the manufacturers of these injections. we're talking here about 11 contracts, 4600000000 vaccines and 71000000000 euros of public money transferred to big pharma. and so far, neither the citizens who paid for all of this nor their elected representatives have been able to get full transparency on any of those deals. here's what new research just published by french and g o global health advocates and by the u. k based health, non profit stop aids, has to say about it. the you signed agreements cloaked in secret and resisted efforts to disclose any information. protecting commercial interest. we all,

you came at the expense of transparency around pricing, delivery schedules, those transfer clients, and intellectual property commitments that could have helped increase global access to vaccines. secrecy in short hut, public health with an unaccountable driver. the public had been taken for a ride. the reports also draw attention to the lack of interest on the part of certain big pharmacy yos when it comes to accountability towards their customers there, and clients who received and ultimately paid for the jobs being average european citizens to make matters worse. phases, ceo al, but bowler has twice, refused to appear in front of her pin parliament's coven committee, to answer questions about how the contract negotiations were carried out. an old decision for a company who claims to be very transparent. it turns out that fido, c e o, borla is also the same one who was exchanging private text messages with european commission present. ursula vander line the month before the pfizer contract was

negotiated. now, how do we know that? because vander lined, said so herself in april of 2021. and those texts have magically vanished. and wagner line doesn't really seem to be too interested in making an effort to recover them forensically. so earlier this month, european parliamentarians on the blocks coven 19 committee, expressed their interest in having fonder line answer to their committee on these contract negotiations by peering in person. but of course, she can just decline just like bullet debt, which has now led the committee to request that berlin access privileges to the european parliament. he revolts and access to you. politicians for corporations under lobbyists, is pretty much priceless. between january 20, 20 and september 2022 senior european commission officials and pharmaceutical lobbyists. how close to 100 meetings, with 30000000 euro spent on you lobbying in

a single year. that's according to the ngos reports which also touch on the lips service that the e you paid to global unity against cove it while at the same time gate, keeping it cove, it technologies and practicing a sort of medical apart guide by keeping the jobs out of the hands of countries that perhaps weren't in a very good position to pay big pharma as much as what europe was a back from lobbying and shady deals have made their way into the spotlight in the ear. recently, with the arrest of officials and personnel, accused of corruption over linked to lucrative could tarry and murat can lobbying efforts. and now with this report suggesting that's just the tip of the iceberg. if the e u is serious about transparency, at least as serious as vulgar line says she is in the wake of the target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy,

e o buddies. instead of hiding from the people she's actually meant to serve ok, let's turn attention to the middle east, where thousands of people have gathered intel a v to protest against the newly formed as really government headed by benjamin netanyahu. demonstrators are demanding an immediate reversal of plan. you reforms including radical changes to the judiciary that would limit the powers of the high frequent protest. something held over the past number of weeks since the reforms were a nice can you government has been fronted the most tard line in the country history aside from to dish or changes all of the 1st proposals. all thing you authorities was, is really settlement expansion on palestinian territories, neglect the protest, 2 on the streets of poland, capital upon richmond, raleigh, to get their countries involvement in the ukraine complex. it comes from the prime minister vote to send some of his countries german meaning to kiev,

without waiting for berlin approval. demonstrators waved nor banners. some written in the russian language thronged with demonstrators in paris on saturday to where people continue to events. there under president mccombs pension reform plans would see an increase in the retirement age. the protests followed. a number of strikes across the country, notably many of the demonstrators were of a young age. protests of, again erupt in burkina faso over a continued french military presence in the african nation. demonstrators are demanding the european troops. leave the country along with policies. buster and r t journalist sent us this brief report from one to it is because of

a large that's where he is. i want him also. i country want peace. they said they are there to help us, but they and they are because it all misfortune won them to leave the country to my message, to france, we are tired, she should leave our country. why? that is what creates problems for us and kills our people. friends has been here with us, we don't feel better. frontal itself is our terrorist process never helps any country. wherever france goes, it is to destroy and not to repair the govern, plus the nation to push needed because the show to increase the pressure of rain 3 goals for the meetings. the defense of my son, luke, allows the defense a 100 in booking up possible the close you and the half of a 1000000 to be what going to do, who called they be last december 5. so has clearly to replace

the look. i love to request a cause in relation between the 2 countries. finally, the secretary state of france will sense you know what they're doing and nobody can see. but the picture of a massive luca lives with li willow. r p was going to our sister channel. our key front has been forced to close. it's the consequences of a 9th package of anti rushes functions on veiled by the european union. the channel saith the jobs and livelihoods of $123.00 french employees are at risk. previously r t from his bank account was blocked in the country at the request of paris, his treasury department, moscow sees it will use the same measures against french media in russia as a response. in a statement, the channels, the management said the closure will further road media freedoms. in from the

closure of i see france with a deafening silence for the french. median journalist is on the defense staff and his dentures direction. because after our channel albany, they will become the next target. well, among the reaction we go to this news was from investigative journalists, moody, but madiba, who called upon a direct attack on democracy, i think, is a direct attack on media. you know, it's a direct attack on democracy. it's very detailed on an exit information. you know, i think that just shows they publish the front end of the western western world. another grow on speaking up on the street in the media to grow and speak about few more speech remote access information. i did a silence with other media, you know, because it was one media house to get shut down, opening up more intense and other media. you know, today's most the most seen it. so i think the media house, of course,

the war need to speak in one voice like this, this, this, the center for that is our lot for from the art international user. but don't go too far as our programs are just beginning. see what's ahead, where you are today next from ah ah, with a ah .
