Hello and welcome you watching all of the international with the latest world news on the day to. Its great to happy with us as always. Now a top story, the group of 7 countries is to update joins communicating to bolster ukraines ad defenses by touching rushes Energy Revenues and confiscating its frozen assets. Whatever the past 10 years, western countries have been post increasingly harsh sanctions on russia, but most goes still remains its whole Global Supply of gas to oil on select minerals and mining operations. For example, in 2023 alone, you countries doubled the impulse of Russian Nuclear fuel compared to the year before. So you contribute to rachel mazda and digs deeper into the reality of your ups, infinity, because russias revenues of the g. 7 foreign ministers, matt and copy italy this week and was a big items on the agenda, was dropped a level letter to their girlfriends, ukrainian president vladimir zalinski. The basically consisted of telling off the rest of the entire world outside of here, the plumber, that still has not abided by their demands to stop buying things from russia. We will continue to apply significant pressure on russian revenues from energy and other sectors. We call on all countries to reduce their imports from russia, which are supporting its war. We will continue to take steps to tighten compliance and enforcement of the oil price cap. We will respond to price capt Violations Including by imposing additional sanctions, measures on those engaged in deceptive practices while transporting, rushing oil. So theyre sticking it to put in by using their own citizens as blue dollars. Basically speaking it to those citizens, right in their cost of living with no end in sight, high inflation as a result of energy being factored in, to the costs of everything in the supply chain. And by sticking it to their citizens, they figure theyre sticking it to pretend. And now what theyre saying is that theyre going to crack down on the dirty, cheaters violating the price cap of 60. 00 a barrel for russian oil that they impose basically to peer pressure like in high school on their the club of allied nations. Back in december 2022. So this is the same price, kept that a bunch of countries have been conveniently lapse about by purchasing oil from 3rd countries like india. For example, oil that just may have had a russian identity before it immigrated to india, then mingled with other oil molecules there and then have the absolutely nerve to just come ashore and they, these western nations like for example, European Countries where citizens are supposed to be sticking it to coach and by taking short showers, going on almost 3 years now. So all these g 7 countries signed onto this level letters is the last few of the same time playing footsie under the table with russia. G 7 number japan, for example, hit a 7 year monthly record of russian liquefy, natural gas imports just last december. And just last month, those in ports were up nearly 43 percent for december of 2020 to tokyo. As for Ministry Said earlier this week, the japan was staying the course on joint oil and gas projects with russia on stock to lean islands that are critical which enters security. The meanwhile, for all the noise they make about sanctions, violators and band and cap violators is not like they stopped importing gas from us, or they just replace their russian pipeline gas. It works with russian l. N g, a 1000000000. 00 worth of russian architect liquefied natural gas into the every month to be exact. In 2023, the block was actually still importing 15 percent of its pipeline gas from russia. Well, thats down from 45 percent. That russian gas comprise of its imports before the conflict in ukraine. Its still my tongue is a better shot to people who are actually listening to brussel brag about how they were sticking it to put in by depriving of Energy Revenues that they were still importing any pipeline gas at all. Now add to that the n g o Global Witness reporting last year that the you really just pivoted to importing russian liquefied natural gas instead of pipeline gas with russian elegy imports into the you jump a 40 percent. Since the onset of the conflict, even more than in each of the previous 2 years. Yes, no one told french present a menu of my call back in march of 2022. Sounds like people using russian gas to heat their homes or cooks and by gets in france may as well be personally carpet bombing ukraine sort of policy. Finally, russia has already started to cut off gas supplies by closing the north stream. One pipe line of work thats a very clear message and they will use gas as a within the walls we will meet do without russian gas completely. They dont clean so fast forward to present day by the way, french elegy from russia is up 75 percent in the 1st few months of this year compared to a year ago. And remember a few months ago that michael said he expected a gary in Prime Minister victor or bon to act like you european, when it comes to ukraines interest and fall in line with the establishment agenda. Well, it turns out that its france and not hungry. That was actually russias top customer for elegy last february. Not sure whos been taking all the long, hot showers in france, but the country has paid 600000000 euros to russia for gas supply so far. This year, as for germany, its the getting russian gas from its neighbors. Kind of like if your next door neighbor came over with a jerry can and house and took the gas of via cars tank while complaining what in the moral dirt bag, wherever he was, sites reading it out and the netherlands and belgium being the dirt bag dealers of rushing gas in this case. Anyway, its average germans were paying for the price, the virtue signaling in any case then this including yourself. We urgently need to ensure that germany has cheap energy again. And i wonder why other countries, for example, have no problem importing russian oil or gas. Germany does this to, by the way, but germany is currently doing it in a particularly stupid and expensive and environmental li, damaging way. We get the oil via india, and we get the gas, the liquid gas by a belgium. It would be more obvious to use the pipeline. Then it would be much cheaper. It really has announced that it will replace rushing gas with other countries gas like azerbaijan, for example, by 2025, which actually azerbaijan has been in 40 gas from russia itself since 2022. So it looks like europe will have to police mingling molecules again, in that case the Russian Foreign minister seemed surprised. This is a lease announcement suggesting that the release in ports of actually been heading in the opposite direction from his rhetoric to solicit. Sure. Certainly, they probably claim they got rid of the russian gas, but in fact, exports had been growing to many countries, including france and literally, literally recently happily reported to insurance. They plan to reduce the share of russian gas and their consumption from 90 percent to 0. Within 3 years german chancellor schoultz did the same, presenting it as a victory to his voters, saying germany has dramatically reduced the dependence on Russian Energy resources and will soon be completely independent. But nobody mentions the price theyre paying for this space. Russian elegy imports also reached a record high in april of 2023 and it happens to send out its supply for re export to italy and france. So it really does look like if the g 7 is adamant, as they say about policing breaches of their Russian Energy bands. It really doesnt look like it will cost very much for them to travel to investigate. They can pretty much just stay home, open up the tomato and have a good book. So the International Monetary fund wanted kansas gazing, frozen with this could be stabilize the entire Global Financial system to prevent this risk director of the i, m f. C, repeating the problem with alfred comma emphasize the needful, strong legal justification for any action on saving rushes. They mobilized was of these take the time, has them onto the us leave. It said base in the country best, according to alexis sends by the nations as force chief, all th delivery. A ton gate has moved for us. This is the latest in the series. Soft stalemate, sophia goes and even outside defeats that have come to who into americas cool. Um, so cold, the global war on terror, on the african continent. What do we have seen is a copy of one of the lead to the sent to the French Embassy in tad to circulating on ex, outlining how to of a stop. It just means demands that you is to provide the rich an agreement in justification that to you is forces that should be on the edge. You could say a base in the mean, not just air force as ask them every can to provide the documents or but thats what agreements just to find the presence at a g co say advice in response to 2 agreements ruined on Logistical Support and the personnel between our 2 states, but shots as voice did not receive justifications or the presence jots air force off the us defense at the share to immediately stop the activities at the g cause a base. This development is key considering that so this is the, the 2nd time sheets, the reason to keep america out. In lots of this, the, the United States was forced to stop it submitted c operation of a new z. Last, i need to go see the, the american presence in the territory of the republic of news here is a legal violates all the constitutional and democratic rules which would require the silver and people, notably, so its elected officials to be consulted on the installation of a for an army and its territory, the government of new year taking into account the aspirations and interest of its people, the size was full responsibility to denounce was immediate. The fact the agreement relating to the status of military person of the United States and similarly and employees of the American Department of defense in the territory of the republic of news here, the Spokes Person of the stating that to the agreement is not only profoundly im fish and it is, but it does not need the esper races. An interest often easier to be and people because last week it forces me to pay both related to tax is an American Military aircraft, which must be paid regularly and which costs me shave in 6th period. Billions of ca, frowns, but then the competence, if you said, when i started to have no information on military activities carried out from american bases in the z. And im a wave of the civilian envelopes, feet personnel, as well as the American Equipment deployed on these areas. Soil, its been clear for quite some time. Now, thats easy. It does not once a permanent Foreign Ministry presents on, on its territory. Even though the u. S. Had agreed to eventually withdrawal right now. It had been hanging on to its last best to contact here was outposts in western africa for quite some time. Well, continuously blaming russia for its detailed racing in africa. The Russian Federations, uh narrative drowned out the Us Government in the past years. They were excel in the Russian Federation, stoked a lot of the instability across this will help. They did this through misinformation, this information campaigns. So i see how we will double down and our efforts is through our own information campaign, but messed with our assurance efforts. The Russian Federation is really trying to take over the Central Africa as well as the ssl within africa. The Russian Federation wants to establish a ground game that resembles a start shape partnership program, but it doesnt have the values. It doesnt have the values of Democratic Values of, of what we bring sides. I just the intrinsic values for stability, security and security, security and prosperity with our african partners. The pentagon has been criticized even for abandoning its soldiers in new z. Would many people asking out as a group of american soldiers, who the Defense Department officials insisted were in the country simply to trade, to advise and to assist me is, is minutes. Each suddenly gets sent to search a trigger . Risk can put a match, the risk of missing, then they had it missing the plan to carry out or that the missing. And why would the americans equipped with the heavy width is the and we looked uh, bullet proof. Vehicles that in and talk to territories in new z, its exactly that incident thats been re ignited a longstanding argument over the spaulding and often opaque will forward to by american troops around the world. Even then, members of the congress from both part you said they knew little about the American Military presence in the z, the bite and administration and the state departments are engaged in a massive cover up. They hiding the true conditions on the ground of Us Diplomatic relations and knowledge under effectively abandoning our troops in that country with no help in sight. I didnt know there was 1000 troops in nyja. This is an endless will without boundaries, no limitation on time or geography. We dont know exactly where, where its in the wills militarily, and what were doing for you is knows that the war on terror is a big failure in africa fall from reducing the violence that it always makes noise about. In fact, the results of you is, assistance in Africa Speaks for themselves. A recent report in the indicated, not so long ago, the volume is on the african continent. Its far worse then when the u. S. Military came in to help the african continent to revealing that dates from um, terrorism in africa have skyrocketed for to more than 100000 pacific during the u as well in terra. And at this point, the u. S. May get salvage something in tad, but if it exists that lots necessarily be a tragedy which had the same way its exist is not a tragedy for new z. Now to the middle east, whether its being a powerful explosion as a military installation. South of b Realty Capital counselor and military based around 50 kilometers, south of sized oz reportedly hits and as strike regional media, as well as security personnel reported. One person was killed on 6 others wounded costs and military installation has multiple units including a rocky security forces. But mostly a fight to is a be popular and Mobilization Force known for that operations against isis commodities have launched an investigation saying the blogs because of the Course Materials done. One of the things that breaks is about to get even bigger with columbia are expressing his interest in joining the block as soon as possible. The country is designed to join brakes was expressed in a joint statement. Following a meeting between the brazilian president of columbia, anita columbia is not the only country in the Southern Hemisphere to no joining the ever growing brick block with venezuela on his way to becoming a full fledged member as well. Earlier i spoke to steven greer is the head of the african governance on Diplomacy Program at the south African Institute of international affairs. He stays countries wanting to join brakes because they have resentments towards the us and 0 p and had gemini, the country see something in bricks, they want to join this club. They want to join this place to, to amplify their voices. I dont think any countries are going to join immediately. I think that will be a decision that the heads of stifled type towards the end of the year. And we shouldnt forget that full countries joined. Didnt johannesburg last year at the summits . A couple of countries in the end decided not to join like Sergeant Tina and saudi arabia has needs a joint no, not joined. But yes, a lot of countries, a reported the over 40, have express the interest in joining the blog. I was, it was that special, something about breaks that, that makes it so appealing to countries and looking at a well that is more say that is more equitable bricks has been supportive of efforts to reform the Un Security Council to give developing countries more voice, the world is very different to what it looked like in 1945. I think there is some a diety. I think theres common ideology and common interest that that drives countries to wants to be a part of something which seems to be clearly succeeded. I think thats part of the attraction of the countries in the, in the blocks that are quite for his info of us dominance of the International System of europes dominance. And so they have countries that are definitely seeking an alternative and a different way of configuring the world and setting the rules of that will. And how do you think this is going to affect those countries in the world of viewing the rise of bricks with trepidation . I was in south africa last year when the expansion of bricks was announced. And the us in particular, another western powers. Were looking at it quite nervously. I think theres a, theres a lot of negatives of feeling about it. I dont think its trying to replace the g 7 or the g 20. All of these uh blocks exist probably exist, but i think they will be perhaps discouragement of some countries that might have wanted to join. They may be some of the being, but i dont think really the waste is going to be able to do anything about brakes. Expanding because its the free will of these countries the china has slammed upcoming joins military drills between the us and the philippines in the
