A french institute. We hear from those taking to the streets. Monday, france is the cause of all our misfortunes. The scenes of destruction are clearly a signal that people are mad at you with alimony and prices spike by a full 7 percent of the reports that washington is considering. Bombing, metal imports from russia, the 3rd largest picture in with your live, with our international. Im, you know, the li, let the news desk welcome to the program, our top story, this friday. Real way operations have been disrupted on power lines damaged in russias belgrade region. This friday it comes as reported ukrainian attacks continue hitting the region as they have been for several days in a row. Intensive shelling by Key Air Force is earlier on thursday left part of a local town in flames. Ah ricky, ricky, will no casualties were reported, asi the attack. It was the 4th incident in the area over a 24 hour period and came just after a residential high rise in the center of belgrade became a target for key of strips. Several cars and an apartment were severely damaged in the attack ortiz, he push it off and bring us one. According to the governor of the bugger, at region. The Ukrainian Armed forces have indeed targeted and arms depot in a while area within the of just next to the town of belgrade, which is a border town. Now, this falls in line to a recent escalation when it comes to ukraines attacks, honor the russian towns and board of villages. This one is just one of them are, but while this one did indeed target a military facility, others well in the, to the large proportion didnt. For instance, just early on thursday or a Russian Missile air Defense System intercepted a ukrainian missile. And its debris had an Apartment Building within the city limits of belgrade. Are now due to due to a sheer, blocky chance. No, no one was injured among civilians. No one was hurt. Now the day before that on wednesday again, russian air defenses, they shut down a number of targets in the air. Apparently all were ukrainian groans and again, the crane enforces that they have been shelling russian border towns and villages relentlessly. In the past couple of weeks, i mean there have been doing it for months, but recently they have escalated their efforts and to a large extent, the only targeted wall just residential areas. In a more notable case, they, for instance, had a monastery of all things or so there is that. And basically, according to the russian president vladimir putin, russia could not stand idle and just watch that apparently the rug line that the ukrainians had crossed was the bombing of the crimean bridge. And so that russia did not take that well, just a few days ago, a moscow launched and full out missile attack. It was of such scale which we have not seen since the very beginning of russias special operation back in february. So according to russia, that this attack, which targeted ukraines critical infrastructure, mainly the Energy Sector and the railroad systems. Well basically it was meant to kind of to send a message that stopped shelling, rushes, residential areas and so on and so forth. And in general, we have seen the russia sticking to this plan. Now the scale has subsided a little bit. Our but air rate alerts have become a regular thing for ukraine. Now, according to ukraines authority, some 30 percent of ukraines Energy Infrastructure has been well damaged to a various extent. Now again, russia has also been targeting ukraines railroads. All this is done in a bid to not just send a message, but to hamper ukraines ability to cripple its ability to deliver our new military machines, new military hardware and personnel to the front quickly. So this is what russia has been doing as ukraine in its turn has been amazing while huge forces are on the frontline in a bid to break russias defenses and to keep their own slaughter on the russian forces. So this is where the situation stands at right now. Neither side wants to back down. And so this all, it looks like paves a path towards further escalation care to another headline story today. Saudi arabia has resisted american pressure to enact a one month delay to the recent opec plus decision to slush Oil Production by 2000000. 00 barrels a day. Now, the request by the Biden Administration would have seen the cut postponed until after the u. S. Midterm elections react, explain why it rejected the call. The government of the kingdom clarify, through its continuous consultation with the u. S. Administration. That all economic analyses indicate that postponing the opec plus decision for a month, according to what has been suggested, would have had negative economic consequences. This is a pretty big revelation. Theyre letting a pretty big cat out of the bag that it seems that the priority of us leaders, when it came to asking opec to move ahead with their decisions. And they asked to delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results. That a clear it appears the november 8 mid term elections that are set to take place here in the United States and with a new congress will be elected members. The house of representatives, numbers the u. S. Senate will be elected or reelected. I at that seems to be what the issue was now. The democrats are furious with saudi arabia. Theres that all this talk calling the 70 year relationship between the usa and Saudi Arabian question here. Some of what Democratic Party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing to play ball with the United States. Theres gonna be some consequences for what theyve done with russia suspend all arm sales. Is that something youd consider . Im not going to get into what id consider what i have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. I do see it as a deliberately hostile actin and what, why would we have troops defending a country that behaves this way towards us . For years, we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has seconds shopped up journalists who has engaged in massive political repression. For one reason. We wanted to know that when the chips were down, when there was a global crisis, that the saudis would choose us instead of russia, will it in the usa continues to supply saudi arabia with weapons. Theres the ongoing war in yemen. And theres some democrats that now feel like they want to, they want to cut off the supply weapons. They want all us troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed. Theres the no pack bill, this is a law that would enable people and entities in the United States to File Lawsuits and take countries to court for violating and manipulating the oil. Right. The negative effect in the United States is quite dramatic. Now the Saudi Foreign minister expect this will all blow over after the big elections are over. Unfortunately, when you are in the election season with some people called the funny season, a lot of things are said and lots of things are done that may be, may not make sense at another period of time. And i hope that this is what were dealing with here. It appears that the Democratic Party leadership was concerned about how the gas prices may affect the election. And they wanted the saudis to put off their decision to cut Oil Production until after the elections because of how it would affect the gas prices. They dont seem to be concerned about the fact that americans are paying 3. 00 to 6. 00 per gallon of gas that families are being squeezed. Theyre not concerned about european allies of the United States breathing in the winter. Theyre concerned that all of these economic consequences that they could affect the election result. They could change how people go ahead, devote a real amount as soon as isnt revealed on the part of us leaders. They essentially wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them and make decisions that would have political dana fit for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on november 8th. When earlier we spoke to our been vote, our vice chair for the u. S, Libertarian National committee, he says the obvious way out of the crisis is to lift functions on Russian Energy exports. Theyre trying to adjust oil prices basically around an election rather than doing either the short term or long term doing the long term changes or investments that would lead to that. I mean, heres the simple example. The obvious solution to our oil shortage is to get rid of all things that stop american businesses and individuals from importing oil. Whether an American Company wants to buy oil from russia or venezuela, or on, or anywhere else, thats their natural rates. The government should not determine where somebody can buy oil from. So rather than doing the thing thats right, an ethical and make sense. Theyre trying again to use shady backroom dealing as their one solution to all problem. When you create foreign animals, the, its only going to benefit the people who benefit from conflict at the people who benefit from war. Unfortunately, United States that is the entire military industrial complex, which is the single most influential and sadly, the most Toxic Organization that exists in american politics. So you have defense contractors and those that other other contractors that benefit from war. They are, of course, happy to see as much conflict as possible. The problem is everyone else in america benefits from p. And so the correct solution is the end sanction and all sanctions on oil and everything else. Allow americans to freely trade with any individual. With whom they choose while joe biden faces mounting political pressure of gas prices, sore, washington is reportedly plumbing to ease sanctions imposed on venezuela, a country with the Largest Oil Reserves in the world, which the u. S. Considers democratic and has supported overthrowing its current leadership. Well, the movie enough to save the democrats in the mid terms had r t dot com, from where the commonwealth of independent states summit is now under way and they can expand capital of a stunner. Its the 2nd consecutive day of high level meetings held in the city. Coming after leaders of dozens of asian on your asian countries, arrived to discuss economic and security corporation. The c i s Operation Organization unites most of the at post soviet states just the point died. It has been a busy week for us. Dana, the city also held the 6th annual summit of the conference on interaction on confidence Building Measures in asia yesterday. They know some big news lines out of that. At the forum, russian president vladimir putin, hel, bilateral talks with his turkish counterpart. But i chip tie berto on with talks including the possible construction of a new gas pipeline. Now the project envisions turkey or turkey as a primary gas transport hub for both europe and asia. If there is interest from turkey and our possible buyers and other countries, we could consider building another Pipeline System and creating a gas hub in turkey for sales to 3rd countries, especially european ones. If of course they are interested in the russian leader also pointed, i thought the current re, through turkey has turned out to be the most reliable for gas exports. Earlier, my colleague re, sue shae, discussed the 2 president s meeting with host of world parts. Here in rti of tentatively turkey responded positively to this proposal, and the teams from both sides are looking very deliberately and very urgent, faint, or Something Like this. Now we havent heard any confirmation from the turkish side yet. Apart from saying that, you know, we present there though on received these of, for, with big interest. But i think this is something that would flatter turkey a great deal because it offers it then opportunity to raise its sending internationally and economically. And this is something that president or the one has been after for many, many years, it would be Russian Energy going to turkey. And its up to turkey, essentially where it goes from there. And could it be the same idea or on the Russian Energy goes to toki, then toki cells that to europe, and its still Russian Energy going to, you know, this is exactly what russia proposes. And i think its, i cannot say that is a risk free proposition because as you know, before russia was selling gas, youre buying ukraine. And even before the recent confrontation, you know, times 60 years ago, there were constant delegations of by russia using its allergy as as a weapon. And selling your energy is through an intermediary, comes with it with certain risks. But apparently, the turkish russian relationship are good enough for put into trust or the on the now from that, and i think what russia, once at this point is deliver its energy somewhere and then leave it up to a turkey or 3rd country to decide if they won that russian affordable russian gas provides very important basis for many countries. It used to provide very Important Foundation for european economy. I mean, is the basis for you repeat prosperity and this is something thats europe is no longer supposedly one. Turkish example demonstrates that within a couple of years, that could give a country a tremendous benefits, tremendous economic benefits. And russian is doing that. Not out of the goodness of its hard. Its also beneficial for, for russia, but you know what it wants it is to have a levels equal, equal based partnership. Well, we also talked earlier to International Relations experts. Message sure it whos confident the russian president s proposal of a new major gas pipeline can only bring benefits really important and really fruitful a meeting between turkey and also russia and other countries. Actually, its very important because, you know, winters coming for new york and thats why they need some, you know, Energy Facilities and also, and theres actually others one, its my to the, you know, all food coming from russia to be able to gathers hop in countries while as moscow continues to cooperate with partners in the world stage from asia to the americas, some prefer to ignore that. So say Russias Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, who has the notes ukrainian president lensky rhetoric, referring to his statement that quote, no normal leader wants to cooperate with the country. And thats what you most thought those kinds of today. They have a status of an isolated country, a country that no normal civilized leader wants to communicate with what. This is, what neo nazi logic means he doesnt think on the body outside of nature is normal for the landscape. The whole world means the west. There is no one else. He doesnt even notice how the subconscious feeling of superiority over those different from white people shows up in his comatose interviews. Interest to point this out as well. At the same time, ukraines foreign minister spoke by some african nation tolling a strong pro russian or neutral stance. On the conflict, he made a series of comments to russian pranksters after his trip to the continent aimed at persuading some nations there to turn against the moscow editor of the behind the news sites. Jo milonga says many african support russia. Despite the zalinski narrative, the civilized countries, according to you, few of weight standing, the last countries that the countries that are giving him money that are giving him arms. Basically hes doing what their worst in Mainstream Media is doing or polluting their minds. What notice the difference of the world to believe that russia, its a great country. Meanwhile, in africa with that, what russia . Because we understand what is happening. Russia, its in engagement with africa. Lasha. Its in, its in the engagement. We are in the south american countries, russia, its in a full seeing with negotiations with image ethan countries. So its not correct what to say. Its entirely not quite right. Its just her. Him trying to push the propaganda to say, everyone must pin against russia. Its not entirely quote it some peculiar comments. Meanwhile, from the used topic diplomat, you set barrel and calling for more engagement with the rest of the world. Also describe the need to protect what he called the e u garden. From those in the jungle, he was sharing his candid thought, sat a talk in belgium, to feature professionals. Youtube is a garden. We have built a gothic advocacy works. Is the best combination of our political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion. That the human kind has been able to build those 3 things together. The rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. Its a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should take care of it. When the typical air western european release is the mark, if i may say, because its a quiet place is to say that you role is a garden that is so beautiful and the rest of the oil is a job should be returning to loading it back. Auto minimize the very end of the stability that they want to, to see in the world is his vision was suspect that this was particularly directed advice. Yeah. Because that is the only in, in, in, in more in china that can really destabilized peace and stability or bad god in that they say theyve created. And one of the things that really throw in a lot of, or hardly enough rico or the fact that we are referred to as the john and predominantly we know that the, you, you, you are responsible for this jungle that theyre thinking about because they make sure that our people are under log flavor long time, and do you eat less dependent on them for a lot of things that are primary or secondary. And they come in milk on every day in the very same donald b. C. And degrade the garden. That is the call in europe in the colonial copy. Does that burkina faso is set to announce a new interim president in the coming days. The countrys National Assembly kicked off this friday at coming after the west african nation, recently entered its 2nd military coup. This year alone, a military overthrow led by captain ibrahim thrower, a seized power in the country. Around 2 weeks ago, demonstrators rallied in the streets and supports marching with flags, including russian and chinese bones. Im demanding to cut ties with fronts bertino fossils. Former colonial river protesters say the previous ruler, not engaged in secret facts. With horace, the president s. I mean to say, i fridge residence, attacked the french embassy, smushing, windows and setting fire to run the diplomatic companies yet didnt. And theyre the french institute. Thats one of the main Cultural Centers in the country. It was set ablaze as well. Protestors vandalized the buildings, set library and other common areas. The institute workers condemned the destruction, but protestors on the streets afterwards said why they engaged in the violence for me. When you are losing soldiers every day and civilians have to leave their villages, i think its normal that some day people express their disappointment and anger. The scenes of destruction are clearly a signal that people are mad. Because we do not know what france is doing here in burkina. If youre in a country and nobody knows your role better, you leave. Francis the cause of our misfortunes. France is responsible for all these crazy things in africa. We are here to fight until our last breath, the media center, one of the main library of what i do, the last sample of the co voice in between paris and what got to go 62 years back was decided to create the International Festival of movies of what it was here in the Laboratory Last october. First people went out and everything because that my situation month but phrase promises and the war and for 11 years now, things i know chasing menu authorities of looking up i saw captain tower. You brought him, decided not to close the corp, weve only one country. Theyre going to work with anyone who can help including washer turkish and friends. But people might want to go fast and the want cup to tell, want to go fast as he can to move for war. And with this war, as hes busy now to set up institutional organization, have people involved with this National Foundation starting this friday. This felicia will decide who going to be the next president. It will decide also what going to be the duration of parliament was going to be the size of the government. The size of parliament with lee will be what get to europe, what rather blame others for its fail policies in africa rather than accept its own flaws. Not opinion with expressed in an article by an associate fellow at the horn. International institute for strategic studies, who sees africas relations with the west, have never been beneficial. As western countries seek to drain the continent. The interactions between the wests and africa generally have been destructive. It has been non polar delicious ship, where the west dictates and forces African Peoples and countries to do things according to the interests of the west. Some as tend toward the understandable could be out there looking after the own interests and the early on it was a not in one who must have african interest. The challenges memory for the african said to mcafee what tools ensure that that relationship is mutually beneficial. At present, it is not the responsibility to protect is essentially a weapon of the be power to do of the west to invade little countries in the name of soothing some lace. When they did it, we saw it made me destroy libya, completed. Some of the challenges are raising in europe can be connected to the atrocities louis commute in africa and impression was created that europe was heaven on earth. As a result, you have all these people who have been told and convinced that the hell so they need to go to heaven and heaven is europe. So when they go to heaven and find a gets closed and little you have this migration chris is europe. And you have the raise of these so called populace national was working power gradually by insisting that all want to see my grand mini black people. Its always ready to blame others. But taking responsibility to know. Lewis does not do that. It is that a good thing on us. But when twos asked on this, you know whats happening with excuses when ah, no alimony and prices have shopped up amid reports that washington is considering a bun on imports of the metal from russia. The u. S. Currently, by some 6 percent of its yearly supply, all of the key alloy from moscow. It comes as the london metal exchange, the Worlds Largest metals market, is discussing bombing russian exports from being traded and stored up its facilities. Last week report surface that roussel rushes, leaving ella minium producer, was seeking to sell some of its products directly to the exchange. Russia is the worlds 3rd largest producer of aluminum after china and india, its main consumers are tricky at japan and germany. The metal is widely used in various industries, from car parts to household appliances, associate professor finance at the university of new south wales, Mark Humphrey se bombing russian element am one of serious consequences. If the enemy decides to ban russian aluminium, it would obviously cause prices for adding medium in broad terms to shoot up. If were looking at the on flu impact of this, aluminum goes into almost any number of Industrial Products that would itself cause inflation to be exacerbated inflation. The u. S. Was running at 8. 2 percent according to the latest inflation release. And 6. 6 percent, cor inflation, which is going to beat into car prices for example. Now if were looking at that though, it increased car prices. We also need to consider whats going on with energy prices. Was aluminium, is a massively energy consumptive product. It uses about 10 times as much energy as steel to say, for example, russian alanine goes out of circulation. Now, all of the western countries need to make up for us, but energy prices, a soaring across the urine across us, across new k, across the street. Which means to now going to have al, you medium is very energy intensive, being produced in market with increasingly Expensive Energy production is obviously going to feed crew into inflation as well. So this overall would harm the cost of living in general. Now, as mentioned earlier in the program, ukraines Foreign Affairs minister found himself duped by the notorious russian pranksters van alexis, the minister said that here was in fact behind a number of attacks on the belgrade region, as well as crimea renew lads of design. Crimea is not an immediate oppression target, but if you ask me, who are the ones blowing things up in crimea, or in belgrade . I will answer you privately. Yes, we are the ones doing in the living with them over. And alexis are russian comedians noted for their prank telephone calls to prominent western officials. Theyre antiques often snare are those who are critical of the russian government on its foreign policy. We spoke to the per about their latest set up. Im serious. I wish it was a very interesting point when he said, i am from the ministry of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, and we will demand that russia be recognized as a sponsor of terrorism. Look at yourself when you admit that your country organizes sabotaged and terrorist attacks on the territory of the crimea and the belgrade region. Although officially you do not talk about it claiming that russia is showing itself at the same time. It is clear that no one in russia believes this, nor no theory choice, but this is the 1st person who admitted that all the nastiness that is happening and rushes from them to it. So this does not fit into the picture that western media want to present to their audience where russia is evil, and ukraine is good for russian and african cooperation has taken a giant leap ross cosmos. The Russian Space agency has successfully launched. An goal is telecommunication satellite and go south to from the bike and were coming from. Ah, russia and angola agreed to design the satellite to replace it 1st attempt thought was lost in a launch failure. Now this deployment was delayed as well by economic sanctions imposed on russia and go south to will provide communications and high Speed Internet access for angola over the next decade under half the countries min
