the, the, the sweden shuts down its own investigation into the nord scream, blast well deal. it surprised when her assigned hearse alleges the swedish and danish hands were dirty and what he concluded was us lead sabotage. the chief of the international atomic energy agency makes is a 4th visit to your, of the largest of nuclear power plants. some of the year long russian accusations of ukraine were scheme, nuclear disaster by showing the area. freedom of speech is our birth right. we were born with the right to say what we believe that right cannot be taken away, no matter who is in the white house that says tucker carlson sits down with the russian president for an exclusive interview, creating a frenzy across the western media. and some outlets criticizing him for doing his

job as a journalist, the rachel ruble live in moscow. you're watching archie international. we start with breaking news from western russia. we're a powerful explosion. has rock the factory in are to you. the local emergencies ministry says technical work at the facility cost of the blast. video circulating on social media shows a huge column of fire and smoke. there's no official information yet on casualties or damage at the side. we're bring you more information as we get it. of the swedish prosecutor's office has officially pulled the plug on his investigation into the sabotage of the north stream gas pipelines in 2022 stock on claims that failed to identify any suspects or lead saying and now likes any further jurisdiction. for the case. the russian foreign ministry has condemned the move.

the see if see, i see this with these prosecutor's office has officially decided to stop the federal investigation site and the lack of swedish jurisdiction. and the case is basically what it says to justify the end of the investigation by science with them has nothing to do with it. and on the other hand, you happily meet the politics who have something to do with the investigation did not receive anything from you. during the course of the investigation, well it's kind of a math houses this. let's remember house we didn't get involved and didn't know the chunk story. didn't have anything to do with style colors to absolutely nothing. and the sabotage of no streams took place in sweden. so they can amik zone and their favorite subject ecology. what about it? well, this within believe that there was no environmental damage caused by the bloss, this we did just for it is initially demonstrated that they will not serious about bringing the case to a conclusion or even investigates and the dental. so just to give

a little bit of background on the situation, several attacks were carried out to destroy the noise framed pipelines back in september of 2022. now these pipelines were billed to the liver russian natural gas to germany via the baltic sea. but the question of who did it, who was behind these attacks, remains unsolved. germany, denmark and sweden have all carried out each their own investigations. and now sweden has conducted the investigation into these mysterious explosions should be closed, at least from its side. according to the swedish authorities, they now finally have a good picture of what happened. the preliminary investigation has now reached such a state that the authorities have a good picture of the incident and that nothing has emerged to indicate that sweden or swedish citizens were involved in the attack that took place in international waters. they've also added that there has been international cooperation in the investigation with several other countries named lead denmark and germany. now the

german investigation continues, but because we didn't, has essentially pulled the plug from the investigation as they see no more reasons fit to continue. they've handed out their findings to germany, but no further information came out. now after the attacks washer, as the you went to carry out some independent investigation on the matter, the un declined the proposal. the us and nato called these attacks and acts of sabotage. while most cold calls them an act of terrorism. previously, russia has blamed the us the u. k. and ukraine to be the culprits behind these blast. and it's really not surprising because when you look at what happened after the destruction of the pipeline, russell was especially cut off from the european markets. and europe went to look to work with other energy suppliers. namely the united states. sweden is also confirmed that whoever was behind these attacks has done it in a deliberate act and be on the jewel politics. the leaves that came out from the

pipelines were huge environmental disaster. so who ever really turns out to be behind all of this will have a big price to pay being well sweden and denmark know exactly who is behind the sabotage of north stream. that's according to fuel. it's her prize winning investigative journalist seymour hersh, who was the 1st to claim that the us was responsible for the destruction of the gas pipelines, linking russia to europe in 2022. a one year ago, he published a report accusing the c i a and nor way of carrying out the underwater bombing. mister hurst, it said the operation was personally approved by president biden. the plan was allegedly set in motion in june 2022 when the pipelines were mind by the u. s. navy, according to hers, the natal ball, tops and drill, and the bill took see was used as cover for the bombing scheme as well. the perpetrators apparently waited a few months until the dust from the military exercise had fully settled. then the

minds were allegedly detonated remotely. in september, the pipelines passed through danish and swedish economic stones, and the countries have been cooperating in the blast investigation along with germany. but the pope has failed to turn up any suspects or lead so far. mister hurst also said the sabotage was aimed at curtailing europe's access to cheap prussian gas, well preventing berlin from developing relations with moscow. at the time biden ordered the destruction of the pipelines. the american fear was the chancellor schultz who at the request of washington, had shut off 750 miles of russian gas in the new north stream to pipeline that was ready in the fall of 2021 to be delivered to a port in germany. might change his mind and let the gas flow using german economic worries and reinstating an important energy force for german industry that would not be allowed to happen in germany has been in economic and political turmoil

since we spoke to yano berg, director of the trans national foundation for peace and future research, he believes sweden is politically motivated to curb to probe as it prepares to join nato. i'm not surprised more surprised by the single argument being used by the prosecutor. namely that sweetened does not have jurisdiction to over this. i'm not a lawyer, but i can see you from legal expertise and sweden that you can claim your addiction in this area because it's an exclusive economics on a sweden. now i would see it in a lot of frameworks. sweden has just is just about to join nato and it has accepted 17 us base, is through a bilateral agreement. i know, i think that it's understandable and that would be my products that says we use goldman does not want to. 1 have any conflicts or antagonizing whatever by

saying that we have seen losing back to that point to the us. and also, i mean if it's yours, diction was a problem that possibly know the last one and a half years. things that happened. so i think larry is a political, political motivation behind this type of closing down. what is an extremely important investigation because of destruction. i don't know what streaming is not something minimal. it's, it's unique. and in modern history, the director general raphael grossey has led a delegation from the international atomic energy agency on a visit to this upper rosa nuclear plants under russian military protection. he has reported positively and combined efforts to ensure the safety and security of the nuclear facility. moscow is accused of, of deliberately targeting the plans for of the complex ortiz egos down off report. ukraine brought the issue of nuclear safety back into europe,

spot life in the very 1st days of the military operation. russia established control over these upper rollers. yeah. atomic power plant since then that facility became the target of regular shillings gifted as the crowd. so the key ev regime continues publications in order to create a nuclear disaster with a zip powers you powers on to the on august 28th from ukrainian troops used to try and to attack the territory of the pond to the of the drum was shut down while approaching the special building, number one, which stores american made nuclear fuel in solid radioactive waste, in the international atomic energy agency, took up the task to put out the fire. mr. glossy, the head of the i a a is here. is it? so let's visit to the zip a rose you nuclear power plants, and the expectations are, well, they are mildly high because he's next leg of the journey is most co. it's being over a year since the 1st visit over f i n crossing. director general of i a, a to the plant in a conversation with me,

he admit that he hasn't got much closer to the goals of his mission. well, unfortunately, we have conflict in the world. this is the role of international organization to provide even the most difficult circumstances, this bridge that allows even if it's difficult for ideas to be exchanged. and then of course, uh, finding the best uh, solutions in this case, as we talked technical, technical solutions because we are not discussing politics here, we're discussing technical issues. this is how i see it. yes, we are concerned that there is no direct dialogue. we hope these weekends, but what is important is that these bridge through the each month and a total time, would you say that the visit you have come closer to your mission? just very quickly said, no, i think my, my mission, i would come on mission, would it be accomplished when there is no danger anymore when there is no

uncertainty anymore? and of course, the relation between the i e, a and some of those a will continue forever or for at least this plan is operating. so, but it, in the current, extraordinary circumstances our, our, our mission is, is, is far from accomplished. we have to make sure that that there is no problem. there is no accident. there is no inconvenience. indeed, cost into tax is the biggest. what's not the only challenge the facility faces for months to be planned has been stopping of the water to cool it's. we act as that's off to the dam down the river stream collapsed. previously, it was repeatedly boomed by cuba forces. the plant also has been understaffed. and its existing employees receive threats from ukraine, 3 or 4 months of the police, according to the information we have, the pressure on personnel through for us continues. they're still attempting to

scare people. say in time i, a director general does not hold back from phrasing russian personnel for securing the power plant on the ground regarding the safety and ready ation. monitoring by the self that at at the plant had received in us are the great we are. of course, i understand the looking at this what i see is that work if it's an effort which is extremely professional here that i see at. but of course, because of the reasons i mention, we got a war, there could be a fact that would be a blackout. that could be many things that are beyond the capacities of people. here we cannot say is absolutely stable, but we see i'm extremely professional to work here. given the size of this upper ocean power plant, a nuclear meltdown could have the 2 noble capacitor feet pale in comparison. experts agree. this is far from an actual possibility. for now,

a fragile liquid librium that might be one unlucky strike away from collapsing. i'm a guess done of reporting from is that perhaps you will not see. the other russian president spokesperson has confirmed that vladimir putin sat down with american journalist tucker carlson here in moscow. on tuesday, dimitri prescott explains why president put and accepted carlson's interview request and you want me for you to go to target. tell us some stands differs from the west and media. it's not for russian at all. no. is it pro ukrainian rather it's pro american, but at least he stance makes a contrast to one of those traditional anglo american media rest across and it has promised to release the video soon. meanwhile, is a teaser announcement posted on the x platform has already garnered more than $87000000.00 views and also marks the 1st time the russian president has sat down

with the western journalists since the outbreak of the trained conflict almost 2 years ago. most americans have no idea why prudent invaded ukraine. we're just goals are now. they've never heard his voice. that's wrong. americans have a right to know all we can about a war there implicated in. and we have the right to tell them about it. because we are americans to freedom of speech is our birth right? we were born with the right to say what we believe that right cannot be taken away, no matter who is in the white house. incredible reaction across the main stream media, mainly of cynicism and this idea of slandering tucker carlson, who scold today's shoes, career defining entropy, describing him as being uprooted in speech. a cnn which is full employer for many years ago. describing him was approved in supporting celebrity and a fall right to and that's the way to we both know that when you say somebody is a full right,

anything the connotations are pretty well known with that it's you and taught. triple you baby, one step away from being evil and involved in dictatorship as proven is trying to court the mag of g o p in the united states. in fact, one of the leaders of the mag of g o. p is in moscow tonight. it's the man you see here with the mag of leader donald trump, tucker carlson. kaufman is lying from the streets of russia, no less tucker house and is not a journalist. not even close to her calls and doing the propaganda work of basically russian state media for them. caution is lounging about and again, preaching his record, conspiracy theories about the lying media. dragging us into support in mass, you crying in more. you may be wondering what the evidence is that talk a call soon is approaching, steerage will be evidence the, the one of the mainstream media have been given. and while i saw this across pretty much every platform, whether this was in a video of content on tv or with

a face to face. and then i'll have to go is an old clips from took a call, some show when he was a hospital for quite a long time since he last quote. and this is a clip that comes from a 2 days per fly, a to the start of the ukraine combs like it gives a chance to sit down with a big supporter to might be worth asking yourself since it is getting pretty serious. what is this really about? why do, why hate proving so much for 30 from century there was a note very loud and influential a right wing voice that sided with food and over and over and over again. also we've got your list through writing costs and as well saying that he's and nobody's saying that he's trying to reinvent himself and trying to make himself relevant to us. not last comment coming from jim pataki, who's a former white house press secretary under the by didn't administration. she's now a host on an american main stream network, of course, calls them is now just another far right conspiracy. butler with the show and the internet is no longer on foxes. we all know tucker carlson has to twine remain

relevant that clicked with him saying that he was in japan slack last pretty soon gone. it's titles of millions of views in just a few hours. the whole means for you need to is talking about and he doesn't have to try and be relevant. she is relevant. you gotta wonder when the interview comes out. it's going to break the internet, but, but it, but it hasn't come out. we don't even know what the to discuss yet. that's why it's and it's interesting, given that we have 0 idea of what the content is, we don't know what took a cost in aust. we don't know what else is, what despite that the mainstream media has already destroyed is that this is a propaganda piece. promoting preteen. they've decided judge in jewelry. this is a done deal. i was a really interesting is cnn. again, really grinding and accessing this is going to be pushing the putting propaganda to the rest of the world. colson will effectively humanize the roofless russian authoritarian whose personnel are responsible for complet stuff. well,

7 isn't them to vessel in which puts in gunship he's done just propaganda to the american pop like that. well, i find really interesting is that there's been a lot of questions over this idea, but no other lessons during this, this happening to be was like me, a preaching since the start of the war. and you create several outlets. the bbc, cnn, and other successful people try to have them go to it too, but now they're not happy that tech a call soon has got not to interfere, which does sound like sour grapes, you call and have it both ways. you want me to work with western during this to come here to do is sit down and see which we understand. could be 2 hours long. so probably very wide ranging and then say, well, we're not happy with the person that he chose. so if it's very unusual and interesting that i'm not ideas that you and this, we know you put requests and all the time they don't always queen let. and in fact talk a call soon has asked me to landscape for an interview. there's no results to that . it's the normal part of the job that we do and also some former politicians even

going so far as to call tucker carlson, a trait or what can you tell us about that? yeah, that's why this is one for the republican congressman. he's actually posted a poll on social media side x, asking people if they think that dr. costs and he's being paid for bali, the crime. and he's basically on that pay will. others have suggested that he should have all the going back to america. we've even had current politicians in the european union seeing that he should be sanctioned as a result of sitting down and interviewing the leader of a nelfa country, suggesting that could take the form of economic sanctions or even a travel bond. it is pretty incredible. and let's just be clear, tucker costs and has had a very long career. it's been fairly distinguished. he's worked for some of the biggest food cost is in the world. and he has the tough questions in his career when it comes to the claim. who has criticized president precinct he has requested . so is russia. t says the sole reason he's here was because he doesn't feel the

american public understands the rules of what's going on and give them the billions upon it was of taxpayers. money from america has been popping up key as he thinks that they need to understand and need to know where that money's going. israel is continuing it's military offensive in gaza. that's according to is really plan minister netanyahu, despite efforts by the us secretary of state, to, for the truce during his latest visit to israel wright, this cross live now to our, to middle east, the bureau chief maria from ocean memory of what do you know? so far on the prospects of a deal that could potentially establish a much awaited ceasefire and gaza, a good it into a ratio. well, i have to say that the prospects are rather unclear earlier on wednesday from minister benjamin antonia who had a press conference here in jerusalem for his reading media only and said nothing

about a very much and dissipated potential deal with him. mass that has to be on the table we know for many days now with discussions and negotiations, how is ro, cats are age of us? there was even a high level meeting of mediators and friends as well hope for that's almost a 2 days since the last exchange that led to the release of 110 is really hostages from captivity in guys of his most recent proposal would be kind of breaks for paving the way to the return of all other captives home, or at least some of them. but the prime minister didn't mention that at all, at least for now. what and yeah, who did talk about a gaz, promises to destroy, have mass all of come out as not just part of it. this is quotation to continue ideas offensive and guys on and to put more pressure, including military, antonia who states and that's more than 20000 have mass militants have been wounded

or killed so far. and that israel will continue until a mass is illuminated. he also said that he instructed the idea of to act in that i phone, which is the major city in does a south the area near the diction boulder where more than a 1000000 palestinians crowding now including those who had to flee the fight. and her students is in the north, so called internally displaced so many of them, and they are now how they're in unbearable conditions. and that does not sound like a piece plan. here's what's benjamin and yeah, who had to say, let's take a listen. so let's, let's, let's leave with the continuation of the military pressure is a necessary condition for the release of the hostages. i'm surrendering to her mazda is delusional. demands that we heard. now, not only won't lead to freeing the captives, it will just invite another massacre. it will invite a major disaster on the state of israel, but none of our citizens would want to accept of the source and also was made by

israel. it was later examined by him mass. and now we hear the milton. the group gave its written answer probably was some nose and they were delivered to israel for guitar, immediate, or is its time now for israel to respond again? no clear answer so far, but early on wednesdays. really defense minister at the meeting was the us secretary of state or visits as well. now said the answer of him mass was written in such a way that israel will not have a choice but to reject it. he also struck just like things in yahoo, that is where i will continue. it's helping ration in guys. the because disagreement between the sides is rome. it is clear, it has all now ready to offer a short pause in fighting while from last month. the idea of to stop the war completely. also, israel promised to release some power steering prisoners. housing is really jails and exchange boys really hostages, but not thousands of them and not those with blood on their hands. mass is asking

to release all palestinian women miners and adults over the age of 50 from is really jail. and additionally, in $1500.00 palestine in inmates including those sentenced for murders. so, so far, no vibe of the agreement is reached and it seems that her mouth is not the only one . israel has disagreements with washington and it's an yeah, jose dude has mentioned it was journalists earlier on wednesday, a couple of hours ahead of the press conference of blinking, who is in israel again as part of his middle is tour or has declared to promote peace in gaza, the to politicians had pressure is in different towns as well with into the speaking in jerusalem and blinking intel of these. but that is also surprising and they could be some tensions between the 2 allies. not to maintain with these really presidents early on wednesday blinking rates or rates of the need to release remaining hostages,

which is close to impossible if is relevant jacks. have masters proposal. and also blinking and directory mentioned the idea of the palestinian state that israel has long been rejected, including after the war and guys are started. here's what lincoln had to service. they can come from the region that i look forward, shared with you what i've heard, including as well. and i do believe there's a very positive future that is possible genuine addresses as well as profile the security piece that also answers the aspirations. you can see that very clearly is only reinforced with

friends and partners. again, the faith of the potential deal with how math is unclear, but on thursday is rose war cabinet is set to meet to formula, discuss the offer. and we might expect to hear some news after that meeting. so we have to wait and see. all right, our team, middle east and bureau chief maria from ocean on maria. thank you. the. the court of arbitration for support has published an arbitrary award on russian ice skating star camila valley a by saying she failed to provide firm evidence that she accidentally invested prohibited substances. the ca, yes, recently banned volley. eva from competing for 4 years, or give me the body of a claim, the substance to try met as a dean found in her blood in the end of 2021 was in just it accidentally. she said shaped food prepared by her grandfather using the same dishes. he used to prepare

his medicine, which contained the substance, the ca, yes, it concluded the claim was not backed by firm evidence and disqualified all her competitive results from 2021. onwards. of those include the team gold metal in the 2022 winter in the big games and they jane which now will go to us skaters. let's cross live now to independent journalist and commentator, charlie boyle, charlie, what's your reaction to the ca? yes. decision on villa davis case, is it a fair decision? you think it is very difficult to navigate without knowing all the details of having not being that the time. but i think what worries me most about this whole process, it says that there's very much of function that kind of like any sort of like legal framework when you're basically guilty until proven innocent. so i think this is a bit of a hangover from the olden days where you know, we didn't have somebody supplements and didn't have no leasing trish unless working

for you. you typed in different things over time. anyhow, i thought a tennis background and i take lots of stuff and it's, and that's a legal so i wouldn't have to claim what's, what's in it. and what worries me about this, this whole process is this is a really, is probably difficult frame. um this i'm saying is being done box isn't there, to be honest, is on you to do it. i mean, to concrete that, well some of these types of disliked to you, so that's pretty much your entire career over. and then of course, i'm the best of that. everyone is around you, scott scott, just like the wind or even if you can get subsequently on its own right later it's a career is basically the zeros within the 3 years of your, your playing large. so yeah, i think the rules do need to be changing. there's also question, what about do we even need to have some of these rules about some of these drugs? because, i mean, if you look at tennis, for example, coaching seems to be absolutely fine, not touching on co factors that was performance enhancing that was completely out of order for a very long time. so maybe the rules just needs to be updated as well. it can the

also lost the status of a protected person because she had she had because of her age, she was only 15 during the 2022 olympics. how appropriate is that move? i think i, i didn't really see the difference. i mean, if, if the ac, if been given something by accident, i mean type that to me it makes the other thing is, i don't think it started to expect for somebody to create that data set. that should be the other way around it. it should be what as a governing building proving that you're guilty. but i think these bodies also in all sports channels to pick and choose who they agree with. so it's, for example, that they do with the training and kind of stay a little remind minus the how to similar situation and was exonerated and they just accepted that person's reason. the distribution i was a not person was in the semi finals of the ground. so, just

a couple of weeks ago. so i mean there's a, it's a pretty, pretty similar scenario for me. the gold medal that valuable one in the winter games and bait jane will now go to the us team. russia says it will appeal to decision. do you think there's any chance that the appeal will be successful? probably no, i mean a lot of these panelists and not impartial either. right? scottsdale problem. and even so, you can not consciously aware of it. you'll be a, if you're on partial a need to remind you to the read somebody i don't, and that's, that's for me that there was most worrying, talk these, these government bodies, me to the accident, impartial. i'm gonna state, but i need to update the rules that it needs to be innocent until proven guilty. like everything else and in any legal process, i purchased things a bit ridiculous. the whole, the whole crunch my mind. all right, well that, but they're trying people independent journalist and commentators, thank you.
