random shareholders in united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions of millions or is business and business is good. and that is the reality of what we're facing. which is fashion. with people are dead and 3 more injured after a fire breaks out in se moscow we report from the scene as us gdp meets the terms of recession. the white house tries to put a brave face, claiming the economy is not struggling with another u. s. senator or just the house speaker to proceed with her schedule trip to taiwan . despite growing threats from china to take forceful measures, if nancy pelosi follow through on her plan. with france, hosting saudi arabia's crown prince on his 1st you trip since a scandal over

a high profile journalist does murder, human rights advocates plats the french presidents for wooing him to get energy deals. ah, hello from moscow. from wherever you are tuning and i'm fiorella, isabel, thank you for joining us. our 8 people are dead and 3 more injured after a fire tears through the ground floor of a moscow residential building. rachel blevins reports from the scene were here outside of this hostile here in the southeast part of moscow, where a fire broke out just after midnight local time. so far, authorities are saying that 8 people have been pronounced dead and that at least 3 people are being treated for injuries. now, when it comes to the fire, they say that it was likely due to some sort of an electrical malfunction by state . the fact that there were bars on the windows,

that's why evacuation was impossible. in this situation, the main cause of death is the fact that there were bars on the windows. twin as is on the scene, have said that they heard some sort of a loud bang before a fire broke out. we live on the 2nd floor and i woke up to the sound of explosions from the 1st. it was like fireworks were going off. i looked out of the window and there was thick smoke pouring from above. there were lots of explosions. i ran into the hallway and told the neighbors that the building was on fire. the amount of victims may be due to the fact that there were bars on the windows. people tried to knock them out. there could be many reasons for the fire. now this is a 16 story building. however, that fire did break out on the 1st floor. and it looks as though it was able to be contained largely to just the 1st floor with some residents being taken care of from the 2nd floor as well. now as far as the cause of death, its being reported that it was likely due to carbon monoxide poisoning. that the

people who were here on the 1st floor that they were unable to get out due to the bars on the windows. and that in addition to that, while there was a fire alarm and place reports are saying that it did not go off as lan now, as for the identities of those people, those casualties, those have yet to be released. however, reports are saying that there were likely a number of migrant staying here. again, this is here in the southeast part of town in moscow. and so far the fire has been contained and emergency services are responding. are the scenes situation the united states economy has now met the conditions of recession. that's according to the latest statistical data which shows the countries g, d p, declining for a 2nd consecutive quarter. but the white house is in no rush to accept the economic downturn. most economists and most americans have

a similar definition of recession, substantial job losses and mass layoffs, businesses shutting down private sector activities, slowing considerably. family budgets under immense stream in some, a broad based weakening of our economy. that is not what we're seeing right now. when you look at the economy for more we go live now to our corresponded kale of mopping. caleb, it seems like the bite in administration is trying to deny the reality of the situation and a well, the u. s. economy shrank once again in the past 3 months unofficially, signaling the start of a recession. i mean, that's simply how people define recession. if you look at the data, the gross domestic product of the united states shrank. and an annualized rate of

point 9 percent in the past 3 months, after having decreased by an annualized rate of 1.6 percent in the previous court, that's 2 consecutive quarters of decreasing g. d p. in the united states. that means that the united states, the world largest economy as entered a recession, however, high officials in the united states are reassuring us. that is not the case. here's what they said. that doesn't sound like recession. i don't, i do not think the u. s. is currently in a recession, even if that number is negative, we're not in a recession. now, i will say that the textbook definition of recession is not, is not to negative quarters of g d p. i is administration or assuring us that everything is fine, as you heard the secretary of the treasury, janet yellow. now she is saying that this isn't a recession. this is quote,

a transition in which rose is slowing. a transition in which road is slowing. she says, not a recession. now this is a similar thing in response to the issue of inflation, inflation and united states is that a 40 year high and we've been reassured by us officials. this is simply a matter of transition. however, the inflation has continued. it has continued to be an issue. it's not simply a temporary issue of transition. it's continuing to go on then in response to it, we see the buy in ministration. spending quite a bit of money and back there, spending $750000000000.00 as part of their inflation reduction act of 2022 americans are a bit confused by the, by the ministrations moves amid this moment of high inflation and low economic growth years. how americans are reacting, democrats just unveiled the inflation reduction act. someone please tell dems that tanking the economy with tax hikes and bad policy is

a crappy way to tackle inflation. only the government could propose a bill to increase spending and call it the inflation reduction act. remember, they always named the bills the opposite of what they actually mean in any other business, this would constitute fraud and false advertising. so to combat inflation, the government is about to approve $750000000000.00 in new spending and calling it the inflation reduction act. spoiler alert, democrats, new spending bill that they're calling the inflation reduction act will only increase inflation. now these, sorry, prices for just about everything are squeezing america's working families. they're struggling to pay their bill, paper, necessities, and keep the households running amid the rising costs. at this point, we've seen the us stock market tank. the s and p 500 is down by 15 percent home sales have flipped this year and consumer confidence is low. many are looking on and wondering if this could be yet another nail in the coffin of the biden

administration. thank you. are tuesday, caleb mop and francis the latest you country to attempt to saudi arabia with his crown prints in paris for top. that says european leaders desperately seek alternative supplies of energy to replace russian imports . however, human rights watch dogs are crying foul over the cording of the prince. a washington based group called democracy for the arab world, now has filed a complaint, a criminal complaint against the top saudi official, the organization established by slain journalist martha shogi is urging paris to investigate the prince over his legit role in the 2018 killing of the dissident, the don watch saw that tracks human rights violations in golf countries and promotes democracy, says been stallman should be stripped of diplomatic immunity,

with 2 other advocate groups reportedly supported the initiative earlier, amnesty international criticize france for hosting the prince. i feel profoundly troubled by the visit because of what it means for our world and what it means for jamal ca, shelby, and people like him. visits by mohammed ben salman to france and joe biden, to saudi arabia, do not change the fact that m b s is nothing other than a killer. if environmentalist thought they were the only ones who were going to get short changed with this energy crisis, it looks like they're now joined by human rights activists. but it, when, when michael french president is constantly evoking the importance of human rights in different contexts. like for example, up paris is the birthplace of the universal declaration of human rights. how the defense of human rights is woven into europe's very fabric. but today mohammed bin salman, or effectually notice m b. s, is at the french presidential palace, which may or may not by the way, pale in comparison to the home where m b. s. is staying during his visit. we're

talking here about a home that the new york times says, and b s owns through shell companies and it's dub the world's most expensive home by fortune magazine. the 7000 square meter, shocked to louis kent tells that it's really not far about a 40 minute drive around a kilometers from the famous chateau duff sire, which apparently inspired m b s's french home. now the crown prince of oil rich to saudi arabia was directly tied by western intelligence services to the murder of washington post columnist, activist and prominent saudi government critic jamal cash o g, who is reportedly lured inside the saudi consulate in istanbul, turkey in october 2018 and then dismembered with the bones, saw french presidents always have been very pragmatic, casually, inconveniently, just, you know, setting aside lofty values when they happen to clash with french economic interests

. and that seems to be the case here. francis big problem right now is that it's caught up in europe's energy crunch the wake of you sanctions on russian gas prices . nuclear energy was on the verge of a programmed decline, about half of the reactors were out of commission and deliberately neglected when paris did an about face earlier this year, and lobby brussels to reclassify nuclear energy as green energy. but questions re made as to whether those reactors and the liquefied natural gas that france has been exporting in massive quantities from russia. since the start of the conflict in ukraine will be enough to power france through the fall and the winter. it makes sense that m b s gets to an invite to the 80 z right now as the crown prince of an energy rich country. human rights optics. be down to obviously desperate times call for desperate measures. and while it may be even desperate fis bumps with m b s,

which u. s. president joe biden would know something about, he said, precedent for that earlier this month. a little bit controversially, didn't seem to do much good though, and be asked to give biden any of the oil production guarantees that by him was looking for and a maximum by then and other western leaders are a he, a big show for their citizens about trying to mitigate the energy crisis and with middling results, this is what this is all about. you know, we're bringing everybody in who can potentially help us with this problem. even ignoring human rights. we need to, but it's all for one goal to make sure cost of living stays low. but the one thing that is within their power is to lift their own sanctions on their own energy supply. and they don't seem to be make any moves to do that. a former senior advisor to saudi arabia's minister of energy told us that new contracts with the e u. r. a positive step. but re odd cannot cover europe's huge demand on its own.

if we increase our production, we can do it alone. a nice, that's our last canter is doing at the same time or would one decision. and since the oil market is fungible, what if you take from either amount, if it's still fran, then the same situation would continue to be that euro now is paying a high price for the sanction that they put on the oil you is. and in a big, big, big problem is energy shortage is the problem with the economy. and we think that the, the united states at our betting, they, you to do this and that. and they are now and up. so e that they abolish all the sanctions in order to the,

to relieve that economy, or they would be and the precision and becoming month if not 2 years. meanwhile, the use policy on gas supplies from russia provoke the split among european countries as germany fig, solid arity, with other members in its attempts to rush and gas imports. the hungarian prime minister says he isn't the only european leader to oppose they propose. they proposed embargo on russian fuel hungary has so far found ways to reach agreement with you on all anti russian sanctions. however, now we are up against a wall called the gas embargo. i suggest that the countries of the community do not try to fight against it. i don't think i'm the only one who shares this view. meanwhile, germany's economy minister insist that the e u is united in the face of gas supply shortages from russia. his latest statements came on tuesday when e, you, governments deliberated over

a draft to european law that would require members states to rush and gas to protect countries from supply cuts. the main proposal was to slash consumption by 15 percent with mandatory moves across the block. if necessary, however, while germany, italy and some other member states rely heavily on russian imports, spain, portugal and greece are less dependent. eventually the e u, supposedly united stance, boiled down to fresh divisions at the latest tots and brussels. that shows that european stays united, that europe is able to comply, and you mean them, unity. and i'm giving a strong segment also in the day where the flows of decimals to run or reduce them to another 20 percent. to poaching and to russia, you won't split off. of course, a lot of compromises in this text. well, this is the way how you approach doesn't make sense to the teacher. the your solution is shady measures dash for the sake of showing that i believe. but when it

comes to an entre security, he receives mainly an individual national governments responsibility german attorney andre thomas house and told us that you government will crumble if they keep forcing energy policies on each other. well, you, tasha could mean political suicide for government because all 27 do you remember states our parliamentary democracy is based on multi party systems and. and if people have nothing to eat or if people cannot get to work anymore whole, if, if they have to come once a day for an hour to a communal shelter that's heated to warm up for an hour. and this was the emergency plan for germany. then they might very well an adverse lead and vote in a different leadership. originally, the heart of the you is italy, germany, france in england, and england left in the rex. it may be other breakfast like

a fractured for france. france is becoming increasingly wanted president mac crawl was probably the leader with the greatest foresight already at the ambassadors conference on $27.00 was 2019. that's over 2 years. basically said that the, the era of western high germany over the world has ended. and he warned his ambassadors to, to become, to, to get acquainted with the thought that there are other policy that we are, that we have moved into a multi polar world all ready long before the military operation. can you create a u. s. senator is urging how speaker nancy pelosi to proceed with a schedule trip to taiwan. a visit which has already stoked us china tensions. speaker pelosi should absolutely go forward with a trip to taiwan. we cannot allow chinese threats to deter a mere visit. my member of congress of taiwan earlier china told washington that

policies visit to tie one plan for august would lead to serious consequences. beijing says it will take a quote, forceful measures if the house speaker follows through on her plans. it would be the 1st visit to taiwan by such a high profile american official in 25 years. just recently, joe biden held a phone call with his chinese counterpart, which lasted more than 2 hours. meanwhile, taiwanese service men have taken part in annual military drills, stimulating, stimulating a foreign invasion amid growing concerns over tensions in the region. and while some us officials are fearful of a potential conflict with china, other american politicians are apparently pushing for serious confrontation. you know, the whole idea that we're worried about chinese rhetoric shows how misplaced our policy is. this is a question of how america conducts its own foreign policy. and thank you very much

. decision king will conduct, it's a way we want to conduct it. can we send a constitutionally denominated official to china? are we going to back down because gigi and paying is shaking his fist. if we can allow the chinese to dictate who can visit taiwan and who cannot, than we have already seated, tie one to the chinese. if they can veto every one in the world who wants to come to tie one, then taiwan will be isolated. so i think she has an absolute right to visit. and i think the support of taiwan is important. wang, a way from bay james redman university, told us that polosa is planned trip is an affront to china's sovereignty. so this week, i should be aware of the non official relations fee to washington state. so another a, me, a strong response match may still be the one you said you

are ok, so close to the c to k. so the, sorry state to buy a cost for you as a c, j a y y, a z z. i want to join the sort of chips full or us taiwan, south korea, japan. so doesn't test us b, r o v c a c, s. rush and cosmo not will remain aboard the international space station, but only until their own orbital station is built. that's according to a nasa officials sided by reuters. the plan comes after than you had a russian space agency announced the country will leave the ice as after 2024 room . now we're continuing to work within the framework of international cooperation on the international space station. of course, we will fulfill all our obligations to our partners,

but the decision to leave this station after 2024 has been made. i think that by then we'll begin to construct our own russian space station. meanwhile, china recently launched the 2nd of 3 modules for its own brand new space station, which has prompted the head of nasa voice fears of beijing, putting an outpost on the moon. nasa expected i assess project to last until 2031. when the american space agency plans to decommission the station, the u. s. as it will focus on a new moon landing to rival plans by russia and china. 2 of the world's richest people, a lot mosque and jeff faces are now competing for the right to launch their own missions to the moon. there's also a new race unfolding for control of valuable natural resources in space. nass already has its eyes on mining asteroids in the mood for rare metals which could reportedly be worth trillions of dollars distinguished russian cosmo. not andre board. sankoh told us that moscow withdrawal from the i assess project will

effectively spell the end of this station. yellowstone store was one of the i assess, was conceived as deeply mutually integrated segments of the russian and american modules. relatively speaking at the functional and hardware level. in the event that the russian segments is undocked from the station, almost bolt the stations functionality will be severely hampered in terms of its operation. and especially in case of emergencies, i can assume that the new station will be joined by conscious which have shown their reliability. i have south and tool for us as well as have an interest in our proposals. the i assess modules having loan service life. they have been operating as part of the station for a long time, even the russian know come would you, which was dr. the, i assess, can no longer be considered. you. therefore, i think that they use in the construction of a new station has been worked out,

and china has already brought the space station project very close to the level of the i assess now to the latest from ukraine. russia's defense ministry says kids forces are sustaining significant losses. with the latest death toll reaching at least $200.00. as a result of high position russians strikes on ukrainian military positions in their harrison region and inside the dying. yes. for public. moscow says it's missiles have destroyed 9 ukrainian military command post in the past 24 hours as well as 6 ammunition warehouses. this comes a day after more than a 100 rockets for western supplies. high mars launchers are said to have been destroyed with a 120 ukrainian troops also killed. meanwhile, in the dawn bass, the city of isla vayas in the da yes people's republic was reportedly shall by ukrainian forces. local media have shared videos of huge fire in the city, which is believed to be the result of the attack. the authorities are yet to

comment on the blaze. meanwhile, in the dawn bass as well, ukraine continues, its relentless shelling of civilian areas in the don. yes, for public leaving little but ruins in areas locals used to call their home. artes roman codes are ref, reports from the city of gord lava, which has recently faced heavy shelling. ukrainian artillery attacks continue against civilian population here in this city of gore lapka, at least that 14 private residences and a 16 multiple apartment buildings have been damaged as the result for people had been injured here. and girl of god alone. this particular building has just 8 apartments, and 4 of them are now lying in ruins. motel

to wish ease them. we had just gone out to get water when there was an explosion right there under the balcony. it left a pit to which everything went flying, which for apartments were destroyed all of us. all of the residents are still alive because we had stepped out. my neighbors had gone downstairs, which they would have died in their apartments. the 4 apartments on this side of the building were destroyed, the other side was left unharmed. when we came back home, there was no home to come back to, which is such a misfortune as i thought. when i got a call and was told that's eat, your home is gone, your apartment is gone. i'm happy to be alive. the owner of this apartment. how recently did renovation here. however, as you can see, all of that work was futile. as it now lies almost completely destroyed. now,

shores like these can be found everywhere. now it might look small to you, but it weighs at least a 100 grams. no one was killed during this ukrainian attack. however, there were several wounded people here in goal of car and are now in the hospital for mon cauthrin, r t, the ness people's republic. my colleague donald quarter interviewed form of republican senator and retired us colonel richard black, who claimed that the ukrainian conflict was planning advanced by the west. well, this war was planned, at least as early as 2014, wherein the central intelligence agency and british intelligence i, my sex, worked with the demonstrators in kiev. and over through the duly elected governor or government, the president deanna coverage, they began flooding ukraine with the weapons with which to kill russians

in russia and russians in the, in the don bash and the ukrainian people. i don't think we're, we're anxious to have this conflict, but the cia had decided it was going to be done. the cia actually put in place. the members of the, of the, the new revolutionary hunter that took power in, in, in the ukraine. this is all happening on the backdrop of a long legacy of nato military interventions in yugoslavia, afghanistan, iraq, libya, syria, do you on the, on that backdrop, knowing that information? do you think that western officials and media are treating rushes, special military operation with impartiality? no, not wrong. if you look at it, russia, since,

since the founding of the russian federation in 1991, it has been a relatively peaceful nation. nato was beginning to talk about nate, about the ukraine joining nato, which would have presented an existential threat to the survival of the of the russian nation. president burton had, he had made desperate efforts. he had actually important specific piece proposals on the table with de tro, nato simply dismissed it. and at that point, russia was forced into the position where they knew that if they did not intervene at that time, that the ukrainian army was going to launch a major attack on the dog bass. recently we've been seeing ukrainian forces using prohibited land mines, which came earlier claim to have been decommissioned. we've seen executions of

captured russian soldiers and ukraine has reportedly been trying to attack a nuclear power plant, controlled by russian forces in southern ukraine. do you think events like this? just don't fit the western narrative and that's why they're not really getting any attention or coverage they're. the western media is very heavily censored when it comes to this type of thing. they present a one sided narrative they, they take information from the ukranian government and they presented as though it's factual. where really often it's just trimmed up, for example, the ukrainians. put out word that there was a pilot that they called the ghost of kiev. and the ghost of kiev was, was a fighter pilot, have such a nor mrs. towers that he managed to shoot down 40 russian fighter jets.

and it turns out that goes to kia it wasn't, it was an exaggeration. it was so it was total fiction and they put it out in the western media, went with it. they said, oh yes, there's this tremendous hero. they have simply deliberately fabricated, not just exaggerated, but just fabricated stories out of nothing. those are the top stories this our thanks for watching and be sure to check out our instagram, twitter and social media channels as well as rumble in odyssey for more video content and covered by for now. ah, you see voting usually. we teach a full with a new song.
