ah, a russia top diplomat, sergio lever all say he's received a message from the u. s. secretary of state delivered by his egyptian country arch . he's now in moscow. will delve into that the later. all to coming up on the south africa molds declaring a national state of disaster in mid a crippling energy prices that regulates these block guides across diminished u. s. exports, of liquefied natural gas are set to reach record high. does washington make big profit satisfying me? use hunger for energy following september's attack of rushes, which stream pipeline with

just after 10 at night here in moscow. thanks for choosing r t for your global and use them today to our top story. the ukraine conflict should be resolved peacefully. that's the message from the u. s. secretary of state to russia's foreign minister. it was path directly from circular, rob se gyptian counterpart during their meeting today in moscow. wherever mister lever off says the details of the full remarks can essentially be translated as peace only after russia's defeated. the secret that our brim chemical story answering the previous question, the minister said that he passed on a certain message from the secretary of state lincoln who visited carroll recently . and i can confirm this is worse. we've always said that russia is ready to listen to any serious proposal that would be aimed at settling this entire issue. and you're in this regard with her. once again, via the minister, the statement, the russia should start being withdrawn leave and then everything will be fine. with the 2nd part of the secure for mr. blake and didn't talk about this is what

the secretary general of nato said. what, visiting the republic of korea, he said in one of his speeches that russia must lose russia should be defeated in the west. can't allow ukraine to lose this meets and comes just a day after the egyptian foreign minister mat over the u. s. secretary of state and his lincoln, which is why and how he had that message for sure. a lateral historic elaborate of said is incomplete because what the was, it would really like to say is that if you pray loses, that means the world lose. and they took some time with the cranium prices that were there a little longer works with them out much earlier and they were delayed for about an hour regular. rob did say that the spoke about the ukrainian crisis at length and he explained to his egyptian counterpart about the minsk agreements. for example, how no one was ever planning to implement them. when i say no one, i mean the freight ukraine and also the west that they were using it to buy time so

that they could prepare for a full scale escalation of the conflict. now aside from this issue, are they also discussed of course, bilateral trade, which was seen that this time, the trade turnover has increased significantly to now $6000000000.00. let's hear some more about this in here. mostly you, our trade relations have reached historical levels. we've worked hard to reach the possibility to trade in national currencies and are doing everything to increase those values. russia is a key supplier of grain to the world market, and we look forward to further deliveries. we are satisfied with our trade levels and aimed at increasing the pace of deliberate and expanding of the range of trade . we are looking for new ways to expand our relations process, also currently building and financing egypt. first, nuclear power plants is also upgrading their railways. and there's so many more

projects that they touched upon. they also discuss anomaly international conflicts like ukraine, but also regional conflicts and the need to ensure the stability in the region. they mentioned iran, then mention a israel and palestine and the need for all sides to get back to the negotiating table as soon as possible and find a solution. libya was another country they spoke about, the political instability there and the rival faction and the fact that the need to ensure that no selection sarah take place and that there's no interference from outside sources. u. k. intelligence services deployed a psychological warfare unit in the balkans to counter russian narratives, but at the same time admitted they were factually true. that's according to lead documents revealed in an investigation by the greys old media outlet. another barrier to competent disinformation is the fact that certain kremlin back

narratives are factually true. for example, one of the country's most prominent pro kremlin narratives relates to russia's ongoing supports for belgrade live no to the reports or 3rd on the gray zones. you k editor kits clar and berg. hi there, a kits, a lot of deep digging going on here. congratulations on. busy the investigation, essentially a propaganda campaign orchestrated by london with a focus on balkan nations. how did you get on to the trail? where did it lead? well, i mean, i about a year ago i was documents showing the been involved in running the government's private communications campaign. which is very, very odd. this was done in total secret. it's never been publicized before advertised the london doing this. but since the star wars you create and those documents took students to dimension, multiple british conversations, including the military thing to receive have said, are you,

i have playing the both the news from in a war between the west, the western russia. and as a result of increase tensions in the regions that versus soldiers and been deploy. so the streets of sorry i among them counter disinformation experts quite wide. that isn't clear. but it just struck me that the same mechanism, the same tactics that we used by the participant army, clearly abroad to compel citizens to comply with corona virus restrictions, which was, you know, terrifying people submission were now being applied to wrap up the post post threat of russian aggression and that will justify their own military deployment. yeah. really eye opening findings and with this situation so enclosed in a both deep intelligence. is there more to discover? oh yeah, there's punching. what's coming? i mean, this is the over to, i mean, more generally,

british intelligence penetration vulcans is wide ranging and expensive. and again, not publicize, nobody knows about this, but it's really quite extraordinary. so, i mean in the, the follow up to this article, we talk about how the british government secretly running a campaign to dismiss the sub yes. and insure the divorce across the boat from the rest of the country. i mean, she should specifically sites talks about as a territory of serbia. i mean, you know, there's going to be writing in the street an angry flashes. if that comes to pass and loan, behold, you know, the british run handle region to track down any trouble. i guess really interesting the british public mike not automatically put together britain on the baltics of any kind of partnership but. but there it is. and you expect more from this?

yes, absolutely. and it's, i mean, funnily enough, in the wake of, in the wake of breakfast, british government and box and what a tool they a global britain campaign. i mean, this has been ridiculed many. what is it just kind of your imperial delusions, but i mean there was a genuine practical aspect of it, which is very real. where, where britson has, you see your shoes, you know, being part of the defense security structures to pursue neo colonial approach with regions of the, of the not part of the youth folk and being foremost among them. you know, these are countries which are very rich in resources which are of interest to the british government. but i mean, where russia comes in is that these countries have historically a very strong ties in russia. they do not see russia isn't any. ready ready or an aggressive they see a friend and protect and trading with whom they have yes, centuries of your religious,

cultural historic toys. it was russian troops would spice serbia that stop the cause of liberation. pushing past the eternal. ready because there were nature troops on the ground who are instructed by the u. s. to monitors. so i've been fired on the russian deployment date in the majority areas. of course, you can find posters and celebrating, but maybe it's in the friend protective. so of course, in this context, in order to insidious the input, right state, you should bring the british meter undermine russian quote unquote influence on the need to demonize moscow, the eyes of the local population. i think that they all have very much success in other, in other parts of the region if they may well, what, what reactions expecting from the london governments and perhaps the legal

hurdles ahead to these findings or do you think the u. k. will try and largely as much as they can ignore the prob, well, i mean if they try and come off this one, even one more reason to never, ever returns that got sacon island. but i mean, i mean, i think that typically, i mean because of the past good grades, i'm been publishing normally not the least material related to, for instance, involvement in the proxy will you know that the, the reaction of the british media has been total silence. not say, march and other parts of the well, but the british government is refused to comment on these matches and just typically knows us the day may come when they have no choice but pay attention. you know, it seems to me if they're doing this in the balkans which would take quite a bit of work. what about on home soil where you know they wouldn't have to go to such lengths to the skies what they're doing?

do you think there's more of an extent of something similar happening in britain? oh, absolutely. i mean, you agreed on sunday. in fact, the n g, a big brother watch published and expensive report on a variety of domestic spying and conceptual warfare units targeting critics of the, the government, corona virus response. i mean, this included journalists and n p. people like pizza engines and david davis, who were by no means you know crazed angie boxes, but they were just asking very obvious critical questions about what was being done to the necessity locked downs. and i'm not your ma, ma dates and this got him on a list and subject to surveillance and harassment. what will strike he's one of the units of both gentleman charter heads. the 4th time opened, the announced april, that the $77.00 brigade had been deployed to counter disinformation, quote unquote, and around corona virus on line. i mean, it was very, very,

and one of the more disturbing shots of the britain's use of the fear to sell lockdown, etc, to the public with people were not only actively welcoming this stuff. they were, they were encouraged, they were very much on board with it. you know, this is a country which has historically hated id cards and the training that government was suffered one of one of or if you defeat some of them and trying to implement them in 2000. i mean, i strongly, you know, there was a push, a very, very concerted push to implement the vaccine passport which will linked to that you will vaccine status, meaning you would need to have a boost in order to go into stores or restaurant. it's really quite disturbing. they didn't get away with it this time, but you know, what about next time? can i just touch upon something you mentioned earlier that it is an intriguing part of this? the leak implies that london is aware of some of what they call russian narrative

despite calling them factually true. what does that suggest about the agenda as a whole? yeah, well, i mean, i think that they just, i mean the access from a file to. ready which an internal, which discusses the difficulties of combat in russian does information. yes it's, it's very remarkable that they open the metal, they would say so publicly. the, in fact the yes, that one of the major issues is it's not just information. it's not use, it is factual reporting, which they happen to not like which reflects perspective that they want to to be suppressed, suppressed and inconvenient facts they want hidden from public view. i mean, that is why the r t r. hey, all hated boy ortiz across what i'm going to do. they have no control over what it publishes. i think another thing that that particular ex, that which he displayed is particularly striking is that it refers to fact

factual reporting on the cost of the crisis as a narrative. and it does tend to suggest to be they view what is essentially just fact based and use reporting as somehow part of a wider information campaign. that's not the case. i think that, yeah, i mean it's the british government, but it's way with defining you bought it on one very, very last time. i mean, my sources is for me to actually the website has never had more traffic because people wonder why, why the government wants it sentence or badly. so that seems to be miraculous. very interesting kit. the whole thing is interesting. i am 2 or people that go and read about on the agrees own side grades on u. k. editor kit kornberg is always kit, thank you for your time. a pleasure. thank you. south africa was considering whether to declare a national state of disaster admit

a debilitating energy crisis. now the move would unlock extra funds, measures designed to and crippling power cuts in the country. it is necessary to have a national state of disaster. this would enable us to have the instruments that would be necessary to fully address the challenge that our nation faces ever been really frail over the last 6 months. in particular, towards the end of last year, we had over $200.00 days of power had switch with sequence. we followed these have and without any risk by this year has been the same. we have not known a single day without power cuts in the country. and at a minimum you, you shed some 5 hours without electricity at a maximum. we think that we are in there, by the way. we feel like it could, it could really go past anytime soon. people are people here talking about an entire grid collapse. that would mean that the country would mean

a couple of weeks, at least, to restart the energy supply stream and that has not gone unnoticed. of course, south africa is not alone. here is also in partnership with the united states, the united kingdom, that you, germany and france over something called the just energy transmission partnership. now that is how south africa is trying to map its way out of its reliance on fossil fuels and making its way into green and spaces these 2 things in this country. i've seen as conflicting that we are essentially giving up our own coal, which we have in copious amounts. and we are going to rely on the fun and on water and on wind, which is not necessarily in that much of a band is in this country. but dead did not stop gen ed yell in the us treasury

secretary who along with many of the american counterparts have been making a bee line for the african continent. as you know, south africa. this is the 1st concrete with a just gene transition partnership or jet key to which the united states was proud to come in to support our technical and is representing only the interest that we have seen sol further fully from the way. and they have been pushing this green agenda not only on south africa, but on the continent as a whole. you'll see like a guinea p when you're watching the new of european leaders who come to the continent looking for the same fossil fuel, claiming that they are doing an inventory of energy security. because i guess that from everything. but we and the pressure to, to not only conform but to lead in this green energy revolution. and one can only

wonder how far we can go when we can even have, can assist the supply of electricity using our very own cold. not record high gas production is forecast in the us and with it, big profits, the countries energy information administration phase liquefied natural gas exports are said to increase 16 percent year on year looking out how european consumers, how to reach deep into their pockets to help bring not abide. here's our t contributor rachel marston. bottom line is the green. europe is stealing a black gold rush in the u. s. the nation's power authority. the energy information administration just announced the gas production is had a record high and it's set to spike even higher this year. and the great gas station, i mean, the great state of texas also achieved a record personal best for natural gas output. exxon mobil hit the jackpot with record profits last year of $55000000000.00. so guess what?

that means. green dreamers. it's big oil spending spree time. here comes another new exxon power plant free to protest. scheduled for 2027 or 2028. sure. it's a hydrogen plant, but how's that hydrogen going to be produced? hydrogen is mostly produced from fossil fuels, inconvenient, dirty little secret there. but hey, that's okay, because exxon says it's going to bury that carbon footprint in the ground. and well, who cares about the ground? right? it's not like it's air so big victory for the big oil bros in america, but not so great for europe, which is just basically hitched its wagon for the foreseeable future to us gas with no real end in sight, over this sov. with this over dependence, of course it's now expected that europe will hurry up and turn its green fantasies into reality so it can reduce that dependence on us energy. but we see now how wonderfully that's worked out so far. if those green dreams weren't such

a big bust than europe wouldn't be. so strap for power right now. after cutting off its cheap russian gas lifeline by dating, tangled up in its own sanctions, the same energy lifeline that subsequently mysteriously blue up. and as you can hear, us officials are really broken up above that. i want to be clear with you today. if russia invade ukraine, one way or another nord stream to will not move forward. if, if russia and age and me to truth crossing the, on the border of ukraine's again, then there will be a we, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring an end. i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that nordstrom, too, is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the see these pipelines that is more streamlined from 2. we're not pumping gas into europe at this time. more through to never

became operational, knew that offers tremendous strategic opportunity for, for the years to come. yeah, no more nord stream to so sorry to hear about your divorce. hey, want a date last year, european imports of us liquefied natural gas for 148 percent higher than in 2021. and they're paying multiple times more for it than they did for russian gas imports . or even compared with what the u. s. domestic market pays, but what's a little price? gouging between pals right? keeps things kind of spicy. european officials are high fiving each other right now because the lights are still on such high standards. they basically can thank the mild winter weather for that. actually, it's not like they found some kind of competence somewhere along the way, but europe really isn't either woods yet. recent drops and wholesale gas prices have raised hopes that the worst of the energy crisis in europe is now behind us. that these hopes are misplaced,

the large energy price shock still lies ahead for european court brits. we expect corporate gas utility bills to increase by over 100 percent in 2023 compared to 2021. in italy and spain, for instance, against around 60 to 70 percent in germany, france and the united kingdom electricity bills are expected to rise borrow 35 percent of germany, but 80 percent in italy and spain. european countries like here in france are showing out cash just to keep businesses afloat with the cost of that u. s. energy coming down hard at the end of smart on those businesses. so they need help. german chancellor, olaf schultz said that that country would avoid a recession this year. but western experts are now saying that germany is actually in one with the economy contracting 0.2 percent in the last 3 months to december. so things aren't exactly going as previously advertised for germany or for europe, but don't worry, europe has everything under total control, and that's why they're trying to dictate shower time for you and promoting

turtlenecks as a viable energy strategy. and it's big usa oil. that's laughing all the way the bank, nato's chief, a single dog, beijing and moscow fractions. he believes, undermine quotes, the international rules based order. yen stilton berg also said a russian victory over ukraine would set a dangerous precedent. if the president routine weakness in ukraine, it'll be a tragedy of 40 ukrainians, but it all saw some the very dangerous message through 2 or 330 leaders are all over the world. recalls them, the message will be a when the use sir military force they come achieve their goals, will be aligned say, secretary general was speaking on a visit to japan, where he thanked the nation for its support. fricky on expressed a desire to further deepen their partnership. japan is set to open

a nato office while the country set to start attending the organizations meetings as well. the japanese prime minister in turn express concerns over chinese ambitions in the region on tension or on taiwan. whoever figures show its the lead nato country itself, the united states, which deployed most military force in the world according to a report last year by the chinese human rights society, washington was involved in 80 percent of all military conflicts from the end of the 2nd world. war to its declaration of the war on terror in 2001, even after that, the u. s. has gone on to invade afghanistan, pakistan base troops in the philippines, and hey, t attempt to coo inequity burial guinea engage in other conflicts to as you can see in the map there, the interventions were conducted under the auspices ranging from peace enforcement liberation, fighting against terror. bringing humanitarian aid on preventing the spread of

w. m. d 's and others. many of them, of course, led to regime change, human rights abuses and many civilian debt. well, let's hear the take now of a radio hotel, political commentator, steve gail. steve, thanks for your time. today, i would suggest you stopped and berg statement is another mic signal from western leaders on one hand, you have endless cause for peace on the other. for russia to be broken up somehow, non violently. who come moscow engage in dialogue with i think unfortunately, right now there is no serious talk of peace, no peace proposals that are being broached. because i think on one hand, you have a lot of the united states military industrial complex that's look into to profit from the continued weapon ization of ukraine after afghanistan and the, the military industrial complex needs to sell new weapons, new tanks, new planes,

and they're doing that with hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on weaponry and ukraine, this is not good for us policy. it's not good. good for world peace. what's even more disturbing to me is that you have these nato leaders that are literally trying to provoke world war 3. you have the a couple of the past and present president of nato, the keep urging expansion of the battlefield into other countries and getting data engaged, which will, of course, cause that russia to engage beyond ukraine. you have the german foreign minister just a week ago, declare that germany is that war with, with russia. and then when i responded that, well, i guess we are the outrage from western europe and america and others that how they are talking about declaring war like worth being declared on him by germany. and i don't understand the cavalier approach that these world leaders have trying to log towards world war 3, but you know, the same people, if something does happen

a wider conflict, it'll be the same. people saying, i can't believe this is happening. steve, the nato chief specifically speaks about the danger of a russian victory. not reading between the lines here it is not a call for more arms at to ukraine from countries like japan, or is it more of a comment? you think about the state of the company? i think that we've seen western europe, we say nato. we've seen american media and other media make this all about putin and pollutants aggression. while they've ignored the aggression of the nazi regime and ukraine under lensky attacking civilians, bombing, murdering raping and pillaging the western ukrainian region, that is now under the auspices of russia. so there was no concern when civilians were being killed by by the ukrainian militias. these legacies of naziism in world war 2, no concern by american media. no concerned via by world media,

no concerned by western europe. but now that again, the argument is to put his protective cover over that region. now, the aggressor, not, not ukraine. i think the other thing is, we saw bizarre episode a week ago when, so lensky literally did a video call for foreign investment for big corporations to invest in the war efforts as a way to make money. it's the most blatant called a war profiteering i think we've ever seen in the history of mankind. hey, let's kill people. let's go to war. so we can make money. and that was literally zalinski pitch. i think a question is, what's his percentage is we're seeing large numbers of his administration be removed for corruption. i guess we're being led to believe that the lens is the only honest man and and then of course you've got whether joe by 10 percent for the big guy from these deals. but just this blatant call for war profiteering. get a lot more media to, to minutes. have we got about 30 seconds left,

but you mentioned it, but i think it's worth reiterating. wild western leaders have condemned russia's quote, use of military force. you know, have they looked in the mirror, how they checked, their recent shipping manifesto was pot, kettle black and all that is truly pot calling the kettle black. but it's really the pot calling the kettle black because of the green and the profits that are being made from shipping. those weapons. yeah, thanks so much for your tick. always intriguing to hear what you have to say. good to have you on the program. radio host on political commentator, steve gill without us wrap up for now from the r t news room team butts are a short documentary, bosnia victims of jihad is just about to get going. it is a tough watch, but it's an important one to stay with us. for that good bye for now. ah,

ah, ah, ah no, but sure was fun. it is a lot of this is teddy thought of your house to be a co 5th one your boley most as i'm them a tool for m a 3 a c a 361.
