Venezuela is experiencing shortages of some medicines and medical equipment, with the prices of some life-saving drugs soaring to levels unaffordable for ordinary citizens. A reporter from CCTV visited a large pharmacy in the northeastern suburbs of Caracas, the Venezuelan capital. Local consumers can still purchase common medicines there, but some antibiotics are sold out. Furthermore, some emergency medicines and medical supplies are prohibitively expensive. For example, the only insulin injector sold there costs more than three times the price of similar products on the international market. It is understood that Venezuela relies on imports for 90% of its pharmaceutical raw materials, and medical equipment such as monitors and anesthesia machines are almost entirely dependent on overseas supplies.Ukrainian President Zelensky: The security guarantees provided by the United States will depend on what US President Trump is prepared to provide.

Oil prices decrease as recessionary worries weigh on demand projections

Oil prices fell on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session, as economic data from China, the world's largest oil importer, fueled fresh concerns about an impending global recession that might affect energy consumption.


Brent crude futures declined 90 cents, or 1%, to $94.20 a barrel at 00:03 GMT. Futures for WTI crude fell 81 cents, or 0.9%, to $88.60 a barrel.


In the previous trading session, oil futures dropped by roughly 3 percent.


As a result of China's dismal economic data, prices dropped. Beijing's zero-COVID policy and the property crisis strangled factory and retail activity in July, pushing the central bank to reduce lending rates to stimulate demand.


After Beijing awarded more quotas in June and July, researchers and traders predict that China's exports of fuel products will approach their highest level of the year in August. In 2022, however, expanded limitations are anticipated to limit shipments to seven-year lows.


According to a report released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Monday, total output from the major U.S. shale oil basins in September will approach 9,049 million barrels per day, the highest level since March 2020.

Additionally, investors observed efforts to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement. According to analysts, if Iran and the United States accept the European Union's offer to eliminate limitations on Iranian oil exports, the oil supply might expand.


According to an EU official, Iran responded on Monday to the EU's "final" draft language to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal. The official did not comment on Iran's response. The Iranian foreign minister encouraged the United States to be flexible in order to overcome three unresolved issues.
