it gives me pleasure to deliver this statement on behalf of states in the gcc.ark: you are watching the result -- >> with extreme concern the situation in ukraine, since the conflict started, we would like to stress countries of the council have a friendly relations with all parties and are convinced the best way to avoid any negative repercussions is through the settlement of the crisis diplomatically and through dialogue in a way it is in the interests of all parties concerned. therefore, members of the council urge all parties to exercise self-restraint to avoid escalation and to adopt peaceful means of the resolution of disputes. the voting of the member states of the gcc in favor of the draft resolution comes out of our commitment to the firm principles of international law, the charter of the u.n. we confirm the need to respect the sovereignty of states and neighboring relationships. mark: the headline from new york at the u.n. is the special resolution regarding russia and its annexation of those four ukrainian regions, a vote staged last month, a lot of

even among those gcc of looking at the calendar, knowing where the date was and knowing this decisionave consequences. and it would have particular consequences because russia has weaponized energy flow and energy provision to some of america's allies. and they're trying to support ukraine in its invasion. so there are pieces here connected to russia. and there are pieces here connected to iran. i think the administration is trying to be careful to not send a signal to iran that the u.s. saudi relationship in america's place in the middle east is much more fragile than they would like it to appear to be. >> steve, you also got new reporting on a meeting that was set between u.s. and saudi officials. supposed to take place early next week. what's the update? >> well, the update on that is the administration formally says the meeting was not canceled. it is just being postponed. i came by way of a secret what they call diplomatic note that said that u.s. officials would not participate in an october 17 meeting of an integrated air and missile defense working group that involves various

russia has rerouted its oil to india and china, and we will now see more gcc oil coming up to europe.n it comes to gas, there is one gas pipeline to china, there are some very large fields in eastern siberia which could still go to china, but the infrastructure for pipeline gas from the western siberian fields since the 1970's, it really goes westward. you cannot just put that through the whole continent. russia is a huge country, spanning 11 time zones. you can't just put that through there. there is the potential for companies like novatek which can do lng, but then there are the sanctions which might harm that potential. so oil is fungible. oil will find a market. gas, in many ways, not so much, unless it is lng. you have to have the market and then find the gas. folly: so it is very complicated. alternative buyers for russian oil and gas include china and india. but is that enough in terms of the revenue moscow needs to power its economy and continue the war? guest: yeah. actually, we are not talking about just the financial side, we are talking about, as i mentioned, the changing

we saw just recently, i wrote about it a few weeks ago about how russia and gcc country, southern ravia emeralds are now you know, so forming a sort of condition that relationships are developing every single day. and they opec plus that's opec plus on countries like so. you have been met very recently and decided to co production know what was all about. that was really about sending a message to the american people and to biden, which is, we don't really want you around anymore. and we'd like to actually harm you as much as we can in the midst of elections, because we won't trump back. and we don't really agree with what you're doing with ukraine war told. now you know that that's really this. it's really preposterous to hold sanctions against countries like russia, the suppliers with the one that you need is also pretty preposterous to bang a fist on the table and say you are with us. we're not with us, you're against us. you can't do that with countries like saudi arabia and emma or us, you know, because they think the people that say either you're with us or against us, assume that

but part of this is the dynamic of how iran is seeing this tension in the gcc and tension, particularly between saudi arabian, the united states. from your perspective is this, you know, frustration that joe biden is now expressing a lot of particularly democratic senators and members of congress. is iran just enjoying the show? well, you know, again if we have the problem in washington dc of pretending to ourselves that everything is a bilateral. busy conversation, you know, saudi arabia you've disappointed us for the last time, and therefore, we're not going to come to this, this important defense conference. it run, you're busy murdering men, women and children wantonly in the streets and, and, and, but what else are you do you? what does that does that area? what does matt about the oil and gas? we still are mad at you. we run about to really go nuclear program and, and you're terrorism and, and your failure to come to come back to the j. c p. o. a with us. this is, this is foreign policy as if it's high school. unfortunately, and foreign policy isn't high school. we it would be won

like you can see that after the opec plus decision to cut production, we can see that a lot of the gcc countries are changing their stance. and europe kept are actually the officially few months ago. they were, they were little bit more up to mystic about an introduction to, to europe. but we can see it now. the cuts are actually change the stance towards europe and they're actually saying we cannot commit to europe for the upcoming years as we have as they have other contract, especially with other asian country. so i think that the minister cutty minister is right about your predictions and europe needs to actually find their sources. so who is to blame for this energy crisis and how can it be overcome? ok, so europe actually their plan and they can amik sanctions against russia . they actually went too fast on their economics function without actually planning because they already went too fast on using renewable renewable energy. and they're not using actually germany band lacking though a while back. although they have natural resources, so this, this was not planned as it's suppo

like, you can see that after the opec plus decision to cut production, you can see that a lot of the gcc countries are changing their stance. and the are kept are actually that officially. few months ago, they were, they were little bit more to mystic about the production into europe. but we can see it now. the cuts are actually change the stance towards europe and they're actually saying we cannot commit to europe for the upcoming years. as we have, as they have other contracts, especially with other asian conflicts. so i think that the minister cutty minister is right about his predictions and europe needs to actually find out or sources following the russian president software to set up a new joint project took year is set to become the europe largest gas hub. presidents are the ones so the projects will enable the you to keep getting rushing gas through turkey or this you need to get turkey a will be a hub for natural gas as well. in our last meeting, we agreed with russian president vladimir putin on this issue. we will create a hub here with gas coming from russia. and in his own w

like, you can see that after the opec plus decision took up production, you can see that a lot of the gcc countries are changing their stance. and the are kept are actually that officially. few months ago, they were, they were little bit more to mystic about spending production to, to europe. but we can see it now. the cuts are actually change the stance towards your and they're actually saying we cannot commit to europe for the upcoming years . as we have, as they have other contracts, especially with other asian conflicts. so i think that the minister cutty minister is right about his predictions and europe needs to actually find out her sources. i'm cyclists, an american citizen who used to work for a u. s. intelligence agency has pleaded guilty to causing the death of britain 19 year old hurry done back in 2019. it's the conclusion of what has been drawn out case involving diplomatic evasion. the teenagers family saves their commitment to finding justice for their son has been fulfilled. get into court and get into where, where now has been the most monumental thing for me because i c

about how russia, gcc countries, saudi arabia, m r ups. now, you know, sort of forming a coalition. the relationships are developing every single day. and they, opec plus the opec plus countries lifestyle, maybe a mattress very recently and decided to cut all production. now what was that about? that was really about sending a message to the american people and to biden, which is, we don't really want you around anymore. and we'd like to actually harm you as much as we can at the midterm elections. because we won't trump back, we don't really agree with what you're doing with the can was told. now you know that that's really, this is really proposed for us to hold sanctions against countries. let russia, the suppliers with the one that you need is also pretty propulsion to bang official the table and say your other with this or not with your against. so you can't do that with countries like saudi arabia and m r ups, you know? because they, the people that say either you're with this year, again, just assume that you're going to be with us and then they're in a state of shock when yo

, you can see that after the opec plus decision to cut production, you can see that the love of the gcc countries are changing their stance. and the are kept are actually that officially. a few months ago, they were, they were little bit more up to mystic about production to, to europe. but we can see, and now the cuts are actually change the stance towards europe. and they're actually saying we cannot commit to europe for the upcoming years. as we have, as they have other contracts, mission with other asian conflicts. so i think that the minister cutty minister is, is right about his predictions and europe needs to actually find on their sources. care to another bubbling issue. singapore is prime minister has warned that the u. s. decision to curb the supply of micro chips to chinese companies may create quote, a less stable world. the island countries leader was responding to the news of sweeping restrictions on tech exports to turn the bite in administration. latest move is a very serious one. i'm sure they have considered it carefully. we do worry that valid national security consid

who helps, who prescribes a medicine that helps the diagnosis was made, well, in the gcc, the diagnosisnstitute of coloproctology. so say the doctor's name khalifa surname khalif well maria well maria sobbed the doctor's name forgot to remember that khalid 6 years ago was we, unfortunately, no living he died. yes dr khalifa it's a pity that he is no longer alive, but we just convey to everyone who knows him and the institute of onion proctology , our very, very big words of respect. andrew is present. why because this disease is a disease related to primary immunodeficiencies and disorders of the immune system, and it manifests itself mainly in gastroenteric problems. now we know a lot about this disease, it has recently been treated to us, so it is treated by gastroenterologists, immunologists and rheumatologists, so you need to contact a clinical immunologist and gastroenterologist. these are two doctors who can competently prescribe treatment and, uh, make a diagnosis. so, since you left us without a doctor. here is one doctor here is the second doctor. they can help you, i understan

-saudi relations affected gcc and u.s. security corporations? sen.urphy: if you heard martin explained, there has been noticeably different behavior by the immoralities -- emiraties and saturdays. the emiraties are good at public relations and get more credit than they might deserve. they made a big public show of pulling out of lemon -- yemen. unclear how far out they are, but there is no doubt -- you've seen what the qataris have done. there are all sorts of signs that if there was a little a transactional relationship with the saudis, other nations in the region may be willing to step up and fight for a greater level of cooperation. i do not think it is an all or nothing proposition in which if you decide to pull troops out of saudi arabia, and again, i hear martin's counsel that this is heading in that direction even if you do not intended. i will think about it, because i want to be careful not to send a motion that we do not intend, but at the same time, there potential that there would be other partners from some of the political vacuum. other

countries influence the u, as in college, the baghdad, to sign a deal with the gods corporation council or gcc to get about 500 megawatts of energy for iraq. it's very important to verify our relations and to get electric supply from different countries. so that would not be under pressure from any side whether iran was the safety or even will jordan and egypt since 2003 and all kind of spend more than $80000000000.00 on up grading. it's power grid, but many say they've yet to see the benefits are the hash images 0 back that not china's most important political event in decades takes place in the coming days. present reaching ping is almost certain to remain at the helm and the communist party delegates meet. but the rest of the leadership is set for a shakeup. patrick falk is a journalist based abating. he explains what's at stake. the streets are painted red and security has been stepped up ahead of china's come this party, congress beijing's tightened coven. 19 carbs as well. and he outbreak during this important political event, would be an embarrassment for the government. of course, peop

of course, the saudis have a leadership role with the gcc as well.rica and lebanon. not by accident because of the president's leadership. i reject that. that said and the president said this more clearly than i can. there will be consequences for the decision by opec led by saudi arabia to once again cut their production now by 2 million barrels. we have to re-evaluate the relationship and think about it going forward. doesn't mean we're going to sever it or thrown in the trash can, but you will see -- i won't give a timeline. we're going to want to talk to members of congress. many out now at midterms approach, but we are going to start to have those conversations and, yes, i think you'll see changes in the bilateral relationship with saudi arabia, mean beingful changes. >> david, quickly talk, admiral kirby isn't here. why in the world go to saudi arabia without the deal done? before you go to saudi arabia? >> but he thought it was. i think -- >> i think a decision made this man is going to be king of saudi arabia for perhaps decades. that the uni

the decision that needs to be prepared and put into practice now is where this gcc rate will be.y the political leadership. i personally with from an expert point of view, i think that this should be the apparatus of the security council of the russian federation, only with an increased composition. well, and possibly with a place of appropriate deployment for round-the-clock operational combat work. this is the first second information agenda, we must recognize that our adversary is working effectively in the information direction. therefore , it is also necessary to have a single center for coordinating decision-making and bringing certain informational news and other issues, including carrying out relevant information operations. not towers should butt each other, but there should be a single body. yet again. i think that this should be done within the framework of the security council apparatus or the headquarters of the high command, if such a decision is made on the basis of the security council apparatus. a very important concept is cognitive warfare and today the main obj
