u. e. u draft blacklist reportedly includes russian figures and outlets without the among them. however, when r t sorta advice from a global organization fast with protecting the rights of journalists, it refuse to offer support. so it does not view russian media as unbiased. the u. s . based committee to protect journalists, refusal to live up to its goals, came after a member of germany's main opposition party. proposed the timing of the screw, namely the creation of a committee to control the spread of slow cold russian media. propaganda among the issues listed as a key threats to the european community, it were so called pro russian fakes a claim which comes in recent reports that are sees a german language channel uses 3rd party outlets on youtube channels to spread, quote dis, information. earlier we talk to tv and kit and so sites are, is tahira shaheed, who says it's also the audience to decide what media source they prefer. it's against the very fundamentals of, you know, freedom of speech and freedom of expression. and the west has always propagated and stood for freedom of speech. and it always, you know, upholds this, that everybody should be allowed to have an opinion of their own. and to also chevy opinion. it is up to the audience and of us to dec

u e u. member states have said they believe the measure will help them inflation and stabilize oil prices. europe claims the new measure will help stop moscow's actions in ukraine by hitting the russian budget. picky has criticized the move, demanding the price cap be cut in half. meanwhile, moscow has strongly condemned the move and will attend the opec plus meeting on sunday to discuss the next steps for the world's oil producers. r t contributor rachel mars then picks up the story. so the ball is totally in the court of opec plus oil producing countries now led by russia and saudi arabia, as they meet this weekend to discuss how to handle the use russian oil ban. angie 7 price cap set for implementation on monday, december 5th. the e, you took a typically ideological position with its price cap and ban, and must now pretty much be holding its breath and wondering what russia and opec plus are going to do in response. that's not exactly a position of strength and control the blocks. endless tinkering has already created energy price and supply crisis to the point of d industrialization. because europe is in a reality, dependent on the fuel that it keeps trying to sanction ban price cap all for virtue signaling purposes for ukraine. european leaders keep blaming russian president vladimir putin for their own choices. you cannot count on russia. it is deliberately, from cutting the gas flows to the european union, thus normal honoring any kind of its pipeline contract. we are facing an extraordinary situation. not only because russia is an unreliable supplier, as we have witnessed, over the last days, weeks, months, but also because rushes actively manipulating the gas market. look, if russia was really withholding energy from the u as european officials constantly claim, then why has the block been quietly and massively able to import russian liquefied natural gas since january? to the point where russia is still the blocks, 3rd largest supplier, they're paying 5 times more for it compared to last year. so about another, $13000000000.00 more. but european officials reserve accusations of price gouging for the used top l n g supplier. now the u. s. the fact is if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the u. s, because they are selling morega in at higher prices. and because they're selling more weapons, despite all the railing against russia for being stingy with energy for europe. well, it turns out that almost half of all diesel that was ultimately supplied to europe was russian making it the blocks largest diesel supplier by a longshot. so wants to bet that despite the upcoming ban on russia diesel, that the e u has set for february. well, they might find a way to just kee

her announcement comes ahead of an e u. u. s. ministerial meeting on trade and technology. and let me think d. w, correspond in terry shoulds, told us more about why the e u is worried about the new u. s. policies. the problem for europe is that a lot of these measures in the inflation reduction act are aimed at boosting domestic production for u. s. companies. and that, of course could put europe at a disadvantage and there's a lot of worry over this. and what ursula under lion is saying is that the, you need to re balance the playing field. she laid out in this speech in bruce that the you needs to become more assertive in its policies and not let the united states take advantage of it. at the same time, the president said that she's very much urgent cooperation, over confrontation. but i'm telling you that nerves are so afraid over this i r a that the head of the european parliament trade committee said today that he believes the i r a rises to the level of the u. s. the in you needing to file a complaint of the world trade organization. so certainly the tensions are very

co supposed application to the e u, stating its membership would be a violation of the block contract g. o. so what are they? what they do today? certain countries in the e u is a breach of the e u contract because one of the conditions for asking for you membership is to be a european state. i don't know which criteria is used to classify something as a state. is that the opinion of some of the biggest countries in the e u, or is it according to the u. n. membership? we're used to all that and we'll have to oppose it and protect our national and state interests as much as possible. no, actually christina submitted an application to join the e. u earlier this week with belgrade calling for its cancellation, serbia, along with other un members do not recognize kosovo as an independent republic. meanwhile, tensions between belgrade and kosovo authorities and the northern part of the region continue. serbian protestors put up barricades last week, demonstrating against the arrests of a former kosovo sir police officer. local residents shared their reactions to the current situation. the counting cost of his application to join the e. u. i think pushin and lou

well, big on the agenda as, as you mentioned e u u. s. relations. the one hand even definitely needs the u. s. when it comes to ukraine, the finish prime minister has said just a recently that without the u. s. we would be in trouble and by we, she meant the european union. on the other hand, there is a brewing trade war, what some are calling a brewing trade war, and that's because of, you know, recent us action that is seen as to protection. as for example, the inflation reduction act, which would subsidize u. s. companies that by american and here in the u that is seen as a, as an action. and that might further, you know, further damage the economy. here with a lot of companies already speaking about relocating to the united states. and so it's a very, very tough balance for you leaders when it comes to u. s. e relations. and it remains to be seen how the address that today. another challenge is this is italian prime minister, georgia maloney's 1st e u summit. she's been known for her a conference. i'm controversial statements on migration. we sa

u. s. the e u and serbia to diffuse a dangerous stand off the form officers arrest lead to spiraling violence with gunfire. arson attacks and ethics serves blocking roads with barricades. the now being taken down, but the political barriers remain, was not to the 2 or the sutra. from the morning hours, the removal of the barricades will begin. this is not a simple process and can't be done in 2 hours as some have imagined. within 24 to 48 hours, the barricades will be removed, but distrust is not removed. those who are playing with the very existence of serbs and kosovo must know that we will not allow it, not now, nor in the future. and russell, so that has law from christina. there have been a tremendous pressure from particularly from the european union and the united states over did the course away. and did the serbian government, he had to, to deescalate the situation here because the concern, the fear among the european companies and viewed by the united states is that russia will be keen to open up a 2nd floor. and after the war in the ukraine to open up a 2nd front of consultation in the heart of europe and death, that is definitely something that needs of nation. the community is quite concern off a scene here. so that's why the pressure is ramping up overboard government to deescalate the situation. but the situation still here remain fragile and any time it cool escalate again. restful said that for inside story, kosovo declared independence from serbia in 2008. that was 10 years after at least 13000 people were killed in the cost of a war, where ethnic albanians fought ethnic serbs and the former yugoslav government the u . s. and most e. u. country is recognized costello's independence. but serbia refuses to cost those membership of the un is blocked by soviet ally, russia. about $4000.00 nato peacekeeping troops remain on the ground after the alliance bond survey and intervened to end the conflict. in 1999, the you began sponsoring talks between the 2 sides in 2013, but they've made little progress. resolving the conflict is one of the main conditions for both countries to join the blog. ah, let's bring in our 3 guess from budapest memos. ok, sorry. let's use the former deputy prime minister of casa vote and a current member of parliament from belgrade. helena, even off, she is an associate research fellow at the henry jackson society, anna serbia analyst. and finally, from grass, florian bieber. he is a professor of south east european history and politics, and the director of the center for south eastern european studies at the university of grass. i will come to you all. i'd like to begin in belgr

e. u versus operating in the e. u and we're, we're talking about this divide between the 2. well, certainly, and what companies do not want to say is extra red tape snarling that operations. and certainly they would like to see a scheme that is efficiently implemented and doesn't add to the has a l, the lots of companies looking through these latest proposals, the trying to say that the best way forward they'll be held by various individual partners in doing sad because and now even a huge industry, his group has developed on helping companies see the way through these changes. all right, well to leave it there. susanna streeter, markets, analysts, thank you so much. we'll, germany's economy is projected to go into recession next year. but there are growing signs at the moment that the situation might not be as bad as initially feared. for one consumer spending hasn't been as heavily affected by higher energy prices as expected. wholesale prices for gas electricity, for example, have also declined significantly, despite trading at record levels. recently, inflation is expect

u. n. and e u, it's just the latest controversy since the billionaire bought the social media platform less than 48 hours after they were suspended in on musk, said journalists would get their accounts back. a storm of criticism followed the suspension of several reporters who cover twitter must profess his commitment to free speech when he took over twitter in october. but now he argued, the journalists had all violated his new doxey policy by sharing his exact real time location, putting him and his family in danger. doxey refers to disclosing someone's identity address or other personal details on line. the united nations was quick to condemn the suspensions in elk v. yes. that were very disturbed um by the arbitrary suspension of accounts of journalists that we saw on twitter or media voices should not be silenced on a platform that professes to be of space for freedom of speech. or with, you know, from our standpoint, the move sets a dangerous precedent at a time when a journalist all over the world are facing censorship, of physical threats and even even worse. the european union has echoed that sentiment and warned musk that twitter could soon face sanctions under new e u regulations. in the short time, he has been in charge of twitter. the billionaire has reinstated high profile accounts that violated twitters rules against hate speech, cyber stalking and harassment. including one belonging to former us president donald trump. twitter has faced an exodus of advertises or the content moderation issues since musk take over his latest shocking move. and subsequent rapid reversal seems unlikely to bring them rushing back to sports news. now in the world cup final, between argentina and france takes place on sunday. and as if france didn't have enough to worry about in trying to stop linelle messy, a virus has now hit their squad, the flu like illness left 5 players, including defensive lynchpin, raphael van, unable to train on friday. but barcelona attacker was among them. bailey said he and his teammates went worried and that he'd even been providing a little medical treatment himself. but no, we're not afraid of the virus. the dial up um i can oh and ad

u. s. e. u, england, everybody's funding ukraine. and yet when it comes to russia being supported by its neighbors or allies, it's a big problem. what do you make of? well, it's actually we repeatedly refuted these allegations. we're saying we continue to say that our military industrial complex is capable of, of procuring us with the type of weapons that we need. so we haven't come across any substantiated proof of users of these kind of you a these and as far as i was informed bilateral consultation between the radians and the ukrainians also resulted in the situation when ukrainians were not able to produce any new results in you and bruce and no, but let's distinguish this substantial problem from the problem of procedure. so what we are now having in b u. m. is the clear, clear attempts of united states from this allies to twist the handle of the us to create areas and to convince them to come to degrade them to conduct some kind of investigation. which would be absolutely contrary to the mandates of these group of people working in the secretariat. so this is absolutely another another issue in data being tested. so you have that now we've heard that you claim persons that i see is suppose we will reportedly he's going to be visiting washington the next few hours. first of all is unusual for a warring present to leave the country. but is he what does the game or if he goes to that just asked more money or is he there and trying to get these patriot missiles? are they key, do you claim? well actually, so that he is going to, to beg for more weapons, for more assistance. this is by the way, bilateral agenda between ukraine and the united states from this case. so provide, if he doesn't come to the u. n. i'm not involved in this issue.

e, the u. k is no longer in that e u. single market. all of this has become much more obvious over the last couple of years. and of course it's difficult to try to isolate the economic impacts of breaks it alone. but there have been some studies that have done that one of the most important coming from an independent government body that estimates rights. it did shrink the u. k. economy of the up i as much as 4 per cent. that is $100000000000.00 pounds per year. it's area different. oh, well, okay. we'll see. given that carl, how do britons feel about brags it 2 years and are they satisfied with their decision? yeah, i mean, it's important to remember this term of breakfast fatigue. very many people here. they simply just didn't want to talk about break that it's been such a long process, said back all the way to 2016 and that you referendum now. however, this year we've changed. people are talking about it more. you heard those complaints in the peace, you hear them if you stand in those long passport lines and you airports and british

u. s. e. u. and in this case, also, nato, that actually encourages the serbian autocratic president alexander, voucher to, to take these steps. for example, of the u. s. o, d u today issued a statement where they suggested that putting up these barricades as a form of legitimate peaceful protest. a u. s. senior u. s. official said that serbia has the right to ask for its troops to enter into kosovo when every one knows that it's nato forces the cave for force that is solely responsible. ultimately for security in kosovo and out, we see that data also suggests that serbia has a right to take this provocative step of bringing forces close to the border. it may have that right, but these steps are highly provocative and they do not contribute to the restraint that the u. s. u and nato say they want to see please. so in your view, then what would it take to diffuse? he sanctioned you yourself, have been involved in previous negotiations between belgrade and christina. yes. ah ok, look, there's steps that the, the u. s. c, u and nato need to take an immediate sense. but then there's also the larger problem which is actually very straightforward. it's n

e. u and u. s. are ongoing in hopes of avoiding renewed fighting in the region. vehicles blocked a route from kosovo to serbia. at the clubs living and not possible accused the government of discriminating against them and have barricaded the roads in protest . v as president faith, he is ever ready to defend them was only to be affordable for the city jones. i wish to inform you that we are indeed in a difficult situation, but we will give our utmost to preserve peace and stability. not only that, we will protect our people in the north, of course of austin. i will take all measures necessary to protect our national town on monday. so be our put military on high alert, the interior minister with the troops and order that they stand ready for combat. this, in spite of nato force of being in kosovo and calling to calm the situation. tensions are often high between the 2 countries, but this is the strange situation was triggered by crossville decision to scrap old license plates from serbia that come

u. s. and e. u. he says wastewater from aeroplanes arriving from china should be tested to detect any new very testing waste water has become increasingly common throughout the united states and testing waste water from playing for passengers in coming from china will give a sense of which strains of the virus are out there, that's very important because the chinese government has not been very forthcoming . providing data on the various variance of coven that are circulating in china. but if we test the waste water on from planes coming from china, we may be able to get a better sense of whether new variance are cropping up in china, variance of possible concern, could they evade the protection of our current vaccines? and so the war we know about the nature of the viruses that are circulating in china, the better prepared the rest of the world can be there so much at home testing. and so many people not even bothering to get tests that we have a we don't have as good a sense of where this virus is spreading in the united states. so testing wastewater actually is giving us an additional helpful information so that we can track the spread of this virus in this country. and now using it in this circumstance, airplanes coming in from china. that's a very clever idea. now that the tax information that former us president donald trump fought to keep private, has been exposed us. house democrats, released 6 years of his returns, showing that he paid no income tax in 2020 his last full year as president. despite promising several times to release him himself from suit the house of representatives, ways and means committee to keep the records private. in november, the supreme court ruled documents could be made public it on friday they were angry . the full president. although these tax returns contain relatively little information and not information that almost anybody would understand their extremely complex, the radical democrats behavior is a shame upon the u. s. congress. white house correspondent. kimberly how good is more now from washington dc. right now we do know that the president avoided paying tax for the most part, but he didn't for the most part legally because the tax code has been designed for not just the wealthy in the united states, but anyone who can afford to pay an accountant in the u. s. so this could be in the middle class as well. a is able to take advantage of sort of loopholes if you will, to essentially take losses on income in order to reduce their tax burden or tax bill. and so that's what this president has done, and that's what he's done is taken business losses by the 10s of millions in order to avoid paying tax with regard to whether not the president has done anything wrong. and there certainly are some curious things about these tax returns as people are poring over them. for example, the fact that the president had foreign bank accounts has certainly been alarming given the fact that as president of the un

u. s. uncertain e u. member states. while belgrade and other nations, most notably russia have always insisted that kosovo is part of serbia. a parallel sal been drawn between the current bulk intentions on the ukraine conflict, those serbia's president address the reported statement by former german shops. there angler merkel. let's just go through that. she was cited by the media saying last decades minsk cease, fire agreements were primarily meant to give key of time to strengthen its military . oh, no. we saw that historically important statement by angela merkel. i'm surprised and i'm still checking in every way to see whether it's possible that she said that she is a woman that i greatly appreciated. for me, that statement is almost unbelievable if it is confirmed. if keith had not wanted to fulfill the minsk agreements, that sheds a completely new light, it cannot change the fact of who attacked whom. but in many ways the changes the fact and relationships within what has been happening since 2014. and that's a clear signal to me whom you shouldn't trust. well, alex, under publish again, touched alma tissue, saying that the west has essentially had that kosovo, the tools to use in its independence movement. it looks the same thing the west was doing with ukraine buying a time so that it could arm itself. so it has to go through a natal training while over the past 9 years, you know, nato has been training, postal dance. they've been building an army for them, which is totally illegal. the same practically the same situation as with many agreements and ukraine, meaning the west, that's one side here, the barriers and cost of all, and you crane to can government where the side that's not required to fulfill any part of the agreement that it's signed. thinks that it can do what it wants and actually feels who have the support of the west to actually commit aggression. commit ethnic cleansing. ah, right, let's turn attention to developments and dawn. but at least 9 people have been reported wounded in artillery. shelling by ukrainian forces or authority say civilian areas where targeted in done yet. city. local officials also state nato supplied. artillery was used along with grad rocket launches. not, not as significant because the latter are not precise weapons under designed to cause destruction on a wider skew, a blaze erupt. it of a market that was struck in the attack. dozens of residential buildings were also reported damage to kindergarten and hospital. we heard from a resident of one apartment building that was due to large. they've been firing since 5. am it here right here. i fell out of the chair that came on site and there was already a fire. the windows blew out. i don't know what to do. know a fierce battle, something raging on the front lines of don bass between russian and ukrainian forces are t correspondent, eager shut down. i've got access to one such flush point where he observed, rushing hardware, an action fine weather is hardly a good omen here to the ukrainian theatre of war. this week in the gloom of december, made way for tentative sunshine for russia and ukraine. it only meant they could finally take full advantage of the drones, as both armies rushed headlong into attack. these rocket miss our systems are the backbone of the russian artillery. here with every crew like this one daily gets a list of targets and at least can be more than 10 targets long. and basically, dozens of crews like this dozens of vehicles like this. they're operating here in the forest between criminal and lehman and spots of our every day grab rocket launcher makes an immediate escape. the slightest delay can easily turn it from predator into prey. this sunday, so both armies attack on a collision course and russia made a point in overwhelming the enemy in artillery fire. to nip every assault in the bud. i philip at unit our targets are mainly the enemies manpower. we are also targeting fortified enemy positions. if there is something more significant, we hit the headquarters, the positions of enemy artillery, our intelligence is working. so we have visual confirmations of the strikes on video. in the months of war with ukraine, russia grew, it's prisoner, exchange funds to the extent of thousands and sources on the ground. tell me over the weekend battles have yielded fresh harvest of captives for moscow. soldiers duped it out on the battlefield to the tune of caves. fresh attacks against cities under russian control, a fiery inferno engulfed a market in the next. a rare sports of civilian bustle in the otherwise battered city. the shelling followed an overnight high mars attack against a holiday recreation center in melee, topple. local officials revealed it left at least 2 people killed and 10 wounded. all expectations that russia's infamous winter frost could push both sides towards a low in the fighting, shattered against bloody reality. the endless darkness of war is all that dwells in the morbid conflict between russia and ukraine. i'm a good done of reporting from the don bass r t to another headline story to day. a former austrian vice chancellor has admitted that the western sanctions against russia are backfired, causing grave damage to the ease economy. oh, we've been through a lot lately, which survived the sanctions policy that misled us under the pretext that the sanctions policy would bring russia to its knees. the russians have doubled their business. there is no question of bringing russia to its knees. it's all on the country, we say how austria homes itself and how europe homes itself, where we ourselves actually suffered more from the sanctions. and we see rising prices for electricity and gas for food in europe. more more people will suffer from this. so after the european union cutting itself off from russian oil and russian gas, european industry and households can't afford to pay the high costs of the remaining gas, either that's in the reserves or imported liquefied natural gas from the u. s. priced at 2 to 4 times the u. s. market rate as french president emanuel macklin complained to joe biden, during his state visit to the white house earlier this month. so europe made a mass of its own economy with its own sanctions and is forcing every one to lie in this mass. as european politicians are now routinely pointing out foolish, the problem is we're going to destroy what's left over from our industry, or the few businesses who stayed are contemplating moving to another country. for example, to the u. s. where energy is much cheaper. one last thing, the genius of our ecologists in our elliots, you noticed that with the conflict and ukraine, we gave up on russian gas and a rush towards american guess the famous ellen. gee, you noticed that even nicole just stopped criticizing this type of guess? what do you know where it comes from? just a glucose russian guess it's putting who stop deliveries, toe, it's hero, not in camels. no, it's us who boycotted the russian guest sup

u . s. and e. u, of attempting to manipulate the international energy market. this comes after the you impose a price cut on russian energy in an attempt to undermine moscow's ability to finance the conflicts in ukraine. now, new russian legislation frees up the states major gas exporters from fulfilling foreign contracts. if they violate national guidelines, the details of moscow's revised policy will be finalized by the end of next week. this year, russia's at gdp declined less than predicts that in spite of increased western sanctions, we heard from independent journalist mcgreevy, who says that he use economy is the one feeling, the bronze from the sanctions on russia. that's why we were told by the germans, by the french, by our leaders in the west and our sanctions when necessary to ranko russia to we sneezed. but we are all armies. energy wise, it is the situation mist. annabelle, we have mine a stand last week for us. it's a terrible winter, i mean he rushes minus than his wine frequent. but here people start to realize that we had a huge problem of energy. no fuel, no gas, no, no, no, no solutions for oil within months in long term solutions, not before years from now. our economies in tatters everywhere. i mean factories closing the cost of life is increasing. we have for 10 percent, 12 percent inflation. we can't get energy, this is terrible and they don't have an answer on so our economy encounters and brushes seems to do well. in a statement on sunday, china's foreign minister has said that the china, russia, bilateral partnership remains unshakable. cities average among with a comp, the china, russia relationship which is based on non alliance, non consultation, and non targeting of any 3rd party remains. rock solid, such relationship is free from interference or thing. it's hamp to solve this chord between the 2 countries and is immune from changes in the international environmental change of russia and china assets. you deepen that ties and moved towards a more multi polar world. those are most came previously this week during a visit from former russian president to meet you media, to beijing, where he met with his with chinese presents using ping cdn corresponded to sunny, has more details. according to a chinese reed out after that meeting between general secretary after cbc central committee and president shooting and the chairman up to russia, united united russia party demetri, mette. yes. the 2 had covered quite some ground in the range of topics. china would provide more opportunities for what peace and prosperity and on relations of the 2 parties. she had said that the long institutionalized context between the 2 parties have become a unique channel and platform for a consolidating mutual political trust between china and russia. and she said he hoped 2 parties will continue in depth exchanges on governing experiences, development strategies, and international and multi national corporations. and on the china, russia relations. she had said that in the past 10 years, china, russia relations have was due to changes in the world and have always developed in a healthy and stable manner. she said that china, russia comprehensive, strategic partnership of coordination were a new era, is a long term strategic choice made by both sides based on their own respective conditions. and he said that china is, were willing to work with russia to deepen relations, enjoying the promot global governance in the more just and reasonable directions and on the crisis in ukraine. she had said, as always, that china continue to hold an objective and fair sense. and promote peace talks. he hopes sac relevant parties could be reasonable, restrained, and have comprehensive dialogues and resolve security issues through piece talks or nelson wong, who's the vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. you says that good russian chinese relations can be explained by the fact that both states show vision of a multi polar world. or i think the year of the target audience is, of course, not only the 2 countries, people of russia and china, but also to the rest of the world, naturally shows china's resolve to seek for a better understanding with the rest of the world, which this announcement that china believes in peace. china believes that there are the relation with russia really reflects the core interest or the respecting of the core interest of the respective countries. so this is something that i think are of friends in other parts of the world need to understand that when it comes to relations between china and russia or our 2 countries do have a lot in common, not only in economic her, you know, dependencies, interdependencies, but also are about our view towards the future of a multi polar world. or china's expressed anger over washington's authorization of up to $10000000000.00 in military support for taiwan. without mincing words, it said that the u. s. is a direct threat to the international order. fact have repeatedly proven that the united states is a direct threat to the international order. and the driving force behind regional turmoil. the united states stubbornly pursues its own interests 1st and the wilfully wages worse and quits conflicts with other countries for its own self interest, causing the large number of innocent civilian casualties and displacement. the resolution of the taiwan issue is the chinese people's business, and china's eternal affair, which does not allow any external interference and the u. s. has no right to make a responsible remarks. according to the latest u. s. defense arts of to $10000000000.00 will be provided over the next 5 years to modernized, tie one security capabilities. so i want defense ministry says the decision shows. washington is committed to taiwan on the island security. u. s. arm sales to taiwan have continued to grow, and this is despite the issue straining. beijing is relation

e u is planning on admitting christina to the block. as while russia claims the crisis has been prepared by the e u. for years. christina will apply for e u membership on december the 15th. and i can expect that already from december, the 17th, when the representatives of germany, france, america, and brussels will be in belgrade. they will explain to me how we have to behave. and if we doubt what the consequences will be, sir, been prime minister and the burn bitch said that serbia is on the brink of war because of the cause of a prime minister and the inaction of the eel. well, why the inaction? this is exactly the situation that has been essentially modeled for years. while a patrols from the use peacekeeping mission arrived, a barricade set up by ethnic serbs. now we have new records that cause of on special police forces have occupied a critical dam in the area which supplies water to the northern part of the territory where ethnic serbs live. we did hear earlier from a serbian parliament member from the ruling progressive party. he says that a he says the western powers tasked with maintaining peace in ko

e u countries ability to buy russian oil at any price. because from monday, december, the 5th, a band comes into play on e u. countries buying any russian all at all at where it has global significance though, is in limiting e u. countries ability to license and ensure vessels. many of them registered in e u countries carrying seaborne russian oil the so called urals oil to big oil. consuming economies like india and china, the kremlin says the russian president, vladimir putin, is open to talks towards ending the war in ukraine. but putin says the west must accept his demands, and russia will be withdrawing its troops from the annex regions of ukraine. the kremlin said putin has complained that the west was pumping weapons into ukraine, putting ukraine off any negotiations on thursday. you as president joe biden said he was willing to meet with putin, if he moved to end the conflict. south africa as governing party has postponed a decision on the political future of embattled president, civil ram, oppose them. the president was investigated after he failed to report the theft of millions of dollars from his private game farm in 2020. the i

u. s. and e u of attempting to manipulate the international energy market. the new russia legislation, freeze the state gas export or gas prom from fulfilling obligations under foreign contracts. if they violate national guidelines, the details of moscow price designation will be determined by the end of next week . president putin criticize the u. s. same washington has long been trying to destabilize post soviet states and is now exerting its influence over ukraine. ortiz, re to shay and donald quarter discuss the russian liter stark assessment with which a scholarly moves until we now say the u. s. as directly involved in the conflict. the u. s. has been dealing with this for a long time. it's been involved in trying to undermine us an influence ukraine and soviet times. our opponents have always tried to divide us and then tried to manage the separate parts and nothing new here. the idea of ukrainian separatism was born a long time ago. while the russian president of course, spoke a lot about how the west was trying to stoke the flames of nationalism in ukraine long before the soviet union even collapsed. but the russian president also spoke a lot about the russian economy. of course, he said that it's fair to a lot better than many people in the west had predicted back in march in february of this year despite predictions
