wait, i've been watching a see already. see you next time. remember? oh, a breaking news on our t rush. it say you korean secret services were behind the killing of doria duke and the daughter of russian philosopher alexander also had on the program to ah, the american counselor to continue to rally in his support in packets down the country's former prime minister is granted protective bill by a high court in law after police file or charges against them. but with the court ruling expiring on thursday, he still faces arrested. europe faces more blow back from it,

sweeping out the rushes, sanctions for the 1st time and 50 years you pay could be that could be a control block. i just this winter. so electricity cost to continue to store local officials report. 2 people have been killed and 16 injured while 3 more are missing after the ukrainian army shelter bridge. and her song region, nearby village is also hit by to bring with my even even here in moscow this monday, august, the 22nd welcome to the global news run up an r t. i'm you know, to me we begin with breaking news. the russian security service, how it's blame for the killing of doria do going up. the daughter of russian philosopher, alexander, duke, and according to the f. s. b. ukrainian secret service is carried out the car bama

talk on the 29 year old journalist. i'm joined live in the shoot, you know, by our teeth. don quarter from war and saturday night steadily instead, don't what more that the f s b half to say? do they have any leads on who actually carried out the attack? well, 1st and foremost, the efforts be official investigation has concluded that the assassination of journalist and political analyst, daria do gonna was carried out by ukraine's security services. they. the official statement has identified a 43 year old ukranian woman as natalia, both as the assailant. here and also it said that her 12 year old daughter was taken along in the process of committing this act of terrorism. sophia siobhan, and according to the f. s. b, the assailants were following duke and around in a mini cooper around moscow. this is a car that entered the russian federation with license plates from the danielle peoples republic. it was traveling around moscow with catholic stan license place and actually left the country with ukrainian ones into

a stony when the assailant went to basically escape from a capture in the russian federation. but it's also important to note that the same mini cooper that we're talking about here was actually after the fact put up for sale on ukrainian websites. but the listing for it has since been taken down as for the assassins where they carried out this terrible attack, it's assumed that it was, it was at a literature and music festival that where the assailants were in attendance, as well as daria do gonna. and her father, alexander, duke and, and it was a right after that, that festival that daria do going to was driving her car away from it and was unfortunately killed by car bomb. her father was giving a speech there, a talk was and a so the f s. b, quite a lot of information. dawn the name even what kind of car used by the perpetrator? have we got any additional details from other sources? well, everything just went over is confirmed information,

but that it is true that there's a lot of information going on going around the internet that could be true, but it still is yet to be confirmed. this mini cooper that i just mentioned, actually there's a lot of speculation going on around the internet that this was actually an attempt the attempt to sell. it was an attempt to cover up what was going on in some way because the person who actually made the posting and it has been confirmed that it was posted on the internet for sale, was a close relative of the assailants and an agent of the ukrainian security services as well. there's also speculation going on around the internet. there's documents, photos of documents that are alleging to be those of this woman both. and if that's the case, if they're verified, that would mean that she's actually part of the neo nazi organization of as off is one of the, you know, military organizations in ukraine that has been fighting and in against the don boss, people. and i guess against the russian military there,

and also it would prove that she is an agent of the ukrainian security services as well. so that's verified that basically backs up exactly what the f s b is saying. in terms of the person who was killed, see you give some details about her 29 journalist by all kinds, very popular as well. give us a sense of wider sense within russia. what reactions been to the assassination? well, one of the 1st official reactions we've heard actually was murray is a har of the, from the foreign russian foreign ministry on her telegram channel. she called this basically what it is a terrorist attack. there's really no little gray area too and interpretation here . these people did not have any weapons. they were not combatants in the war and or the conflict rather in the special operation. and they were, they had a bomb planted on their car. so that's, that's what it is, a terrorist attack, as russia has said. and this is what's interesting is that this is happening at the

same time that keeps propaganda, keeps accusing. russia of just callously killing civilians. when in reality, we're seeing the actual actions of that playing out at the hands of ukraine, of the ukrainian security services. and what's more, there are even ukrainian officials that are calling for russians to be genocide. essentially, let's take a listen to a statement made by the ukranian envoy to a catholics in french. we'll try to kill as many of them as possible. the more russians we kill now, the less our children will have to kill undone in terms of daria. do good at what did she achieve her all too brief time on earth really and her father, we keep hearing so many headlines, but him in the west who was he? what were his beliefs too? well, darn duke was a journalist and a political analyst. a very active one at that and her father, alexander,

duke. and he is a philosopher that's known in russia an anti western author, and a political commentator that the western media has for years been really heavily focusing on actually saying, saying that he was the sort of advisor to vladimir putin for foreign policy. and like a very high up person in terms of the russian government. but the kremlin has never identified any sort of ties like that. and in russia many consider him to be actually a marginal figure. so it's actually assumed by many of course there's no evidence that the terrorist attack was aimed against him because of the fact that the car that daria was driving at the time when she was killed, the bomb was planted under the drivers side. and it was actually, i would send her deacons car, and at the last minute he had made a decision to not take that car. and daria took that car and we get we had her being the victim of this attack. parties done quarter bringing us up to

date with the latest on that killing. don, thank you. and let's dell of into some of the points with steve gil, steve's radio host on political comment here, you're most welcome to the programs they've got to kind of reaction. do you expect to this, given it appears to be a terror attack against the russian citizen on russian, sol? yeah. and it's just now starting to get media attention in the united states. i think it's going to get more obviously in the next couple of days as more information comes out about who perpetrated this, what connections they had. i think the interesting thing is also the united nations is always quick to go in and, and delve into the conflicts and delve into the sort of international incidence. and yet they've been pretty silent when it comes to, to the whole ukraine, russia conflict. and yet you now have what if the f s b information is correct? a ukrainian state sponsored terror attack on foreign soil?

and i think the question is, will the united nations will other world leaders step up and to cry that and start to condemn ukraine in the way that they would other terror sponsoring nations? if ukraine was behind this, steven would be a very daring brazen attack. deepen russian territory. would it have needed help here? you know, it because of the, the access that you have from the don best region. and again, we're assuming that a lot of the information that has been put forward is accurate. but if you have the capacity with the number of refugees that are flowing across the border, out of the don best region into russia, it is a pretty open situation. and the ukranian military, the regiments could do this on their own. it doesn't look like they're had to been outside kinds of, of access. and i know that some are speculating with the u. s. d. i a involved rather for an agencies involved. yeah. at this point, it does not appear to me that there is

a need for sort of outside expertise in this. it was a pretty crude. and as you said, brazen way of carrying this out to me, the bigger issue is this is a remarkably foolish, brazen attack. and that it is not likely to do well for ukraine, for soldiers on the front line that are fighting the russian soldiers in the don best region. i would expect them to see a barrage of but russian retaliation. and frankly, unless the ukrainian government does more than just kind of propagandized against this and take some serious action to, to prove they had nothing to do with it at the highest levels. i think this is not going to bear out well for, for your brains. last year or anybody who's associated with them. it's not known if daria was supposed to be this school targets as she was using her father's car. quite a prominent figure here and overseas as well. the torrijos, he's been cold in the western media. would the killing of such a high profile,

a figure like clean need the approval from from high up the ukrainian command chain . i can imagine that it would not because of the potential blow back to ukraine. you would want to get this approved at the highest levels after assessing the risk of blow back the risk of retaliation. and, and i think it would be remarkable if it did not have the highest levels of, of support in kind of targeting this individual. yeah, the key is where they targeting her, where they targeting him, if they were targeting to kill him. if they were targeting her to hurt him by killing his daughter. again, this is the stuff of spy novels. but these things in reality never turn out like, for planters. think and expect. and steve, why do you think a big part of the, the western audience, mainstream media in particular. so attracted to the personality of alexander to get

you know, i think because you either either whitening rod for, for attention he is saying the things that you know, those in the west are concerned about that there's going to be just kind of re assess assessment of the russian empire, going back to the old ussr days, where they bring people back into their, into their arms. and i think that there's concerning the west than an empowered. russia will be dangerous to the west will be dangerous to europe. so i think there's concern that somebody like him, that spouting it's such clear terms that, that goal for sort of a new russia is, is a concern. i think that the demon ization of, and the american media in part time, our own internal politics, folks, blame russia, russia, russia for everything that they were trying to stick to donald trump. so there's a lot of elements to this that they don't really bear out in terms of facts or, or reality. i think the other, the other concern i have is that the ukrainians are already spinning. you know as

fast as they can, that this was russian propaganda. and this whole war is all conflict has been so filled up with propaganda. some extent from both sides. but that goes to the fighter pilot, was shooting down dozens of russian aircraft. the sailors on the island that were supposedly blown away by russian ships started out. they were captured in surrender . so the propaganda of this particular conflict has made it difficult to discern the truth. and i don't think that the western media is going to be any better at discerning the truth. and then they have and just kind of blindly following the ukranian propaganda the last several months. and it's almost forgotten about really that family as was her daughter isn't at the time and transit targeting pavilions. you've got to remember that the ukrainians have been charging civilians and don bass for the last 8 or 10 years. yeah, that gets missed a little bit to doesn't that steve? as always, thanks for your time. your thoughts, steve? gail radio hosts on political commentary. life from the u. s. this are thank you.

while some western media outlets have responded to the killing of alexander, duke and daughter with cynicism, focusing more on her father as we were just hearing. and describing him as a muster mind behind rushes foreign policy. that reactions, in stark contrast to other assassination attempts against pro western figures, picking up the story for his ortiz rachel blevins. the tragic killing of daria do. going to attracted headlines for media across the west, but their focus seemed to be on her father, alexander doogan, or more specifically his political views and his supposed ties to the russian government. sienna referred to him as a spiritual guide, while the u. s. government funded radio free europe called him brain. the daily mail took a different approach focusing instead on deacons appearance, which was shown on videos taken at the scene. they described his reaction to seeing the car. his daughter was driving fully engulfed in fire as if it was the plot of

some hollywood movie. but whether the attack was aimed at doogan or his daughter were both, didn't seem to matter to the individuals on social media who looked to justify the apparent assassination. simply because they disagree with the views of the duke and family, and speaking of justifying it, here's what some and ukraine had to say. doogan. what's wrong with the face? prudence propaganda, consultant alexander duke himself was also supposed to be driving in the blown up car. his daughter was killed in the explosion. the apple fell not far from the tree . she continued her father's work promoting the ideology of the russian world and justifying the war against ukraine. in general, the earth is vitreous to this russian, and we hope very soon dad will join her in hell. if it seems like the means you're in response to doris killing is different. that's because it is. in fact, earlier this month to doesn't gathered in new york to show their support after

a controversial indian british author was stabbed in an apparent assassination attempt at an art festival in new york. while he had made his share of enemies due to his religious writings, world leaders quickly came to his defense insisting that he was fully entitled to share his beliefs. salman rushdie with his insight into humanity, with his unmatched sense for story with his refusal to be intimidated or silenced, stands for essential universal ideals. truth, courage, resilience, the ability to share ideas without fear. these are the building blocks of any free and open society. and he is not alone, long time u. s. government official and accused war criminal. john bolton also made headlines this month after the department of justice revealed that he was the target of an alleged assassination plot by an iranian national. but despite the deadly attacks, bolton himself has supported, western media responded with nothing but concern. today the department of justice

unsealed charging documents, revealing in a rainy and murder plot against john bolton. this was a serious plot and the threat extends to other former government officials. officials say the man was a member of iran, revolutionary guard, cor, suspect. put a $300000.00 price tag on your head. what goes through your mind to better? well, i was embarrassed at the low price, i would have thought it would have been higher while both individuals were controversial in their own ways. they didn't do the one thing alexander duke and has been doing for years. he has been an outspoken critic of the west and its foreign policy. he is also condemned ukraine's attacks on russian speaking people and supported russia's defense of the people and the don bass and, and crimea, as a result of their willingness to publicly share their beliefs. both doogan and his leg daughter were the subject of sanctions from the west. but it's the media's response, which serves as a reminder that tragic killings and attempted killings are only condemned when the

target has a history of selling the approved narrative. if this were this we're killing, did happen again, someone in the u. s. for example, this would be treated much differently. i do think the western media is showing a double standard here. there's no question that if this it been the daughter of an important american intellectual, that the u. s. media would be ringing. it's hands would be calling for justice. would be calling for reprisals against those that did this. instead, they seem to be taking some glee in what has happened. and yes, i mean again, clearly this is the result of a very strong anti, a russian sentiment in this country, which frankly is cross the line in the pure racism. and it's not acceptable. and i think the journalist, in particular, in the western media should take

a good hard look at themselves and do some self reflection. ok to more world news this our the a slow about high court has granted former pakistan prime minister in run come protective bail until thursday after police launched a terror case against the in these maintenance pictures published by his p t party. mister can can be seen reaching his followers outside his residence, but he's facing action under the anti terrorism. i for allegedly threatening and magistrates, and senior police officers of a rally. you organized to protest against the arrest of a senior member of his party. and he alleges was also tortured your local journalist, job rana reports i from the capital or henry county has been meeting with the president. well, i know i'm, i'm in front of the hotel, we're farmer. but mr. hong is addressing

a lead gathering of journalist intellectuals and political, political activist. and he's, he's returning home. foreign policy is extremely important in buckets on. and this is post opinions after the tests, all phase, the possible rest on what appears to be politically motivated. that isn't charges today, according in capitalist lombard, but a larger team, a lease provided him a bill for a couple next couple of days. and it means that the turn off his wrist are not over yet. but it seems that perhaps for the next couple of days, he is unlikely to be arrested. now let me give you a bigger picture in focus on it seem perhaps that the better lines have been drawn between the former prime civil home. and the part will bought before military, which has been called the chart in partis on the military allegedly league with the u. s. and the political parties, according to the allegation by the,

by the current opposition parties. they had had a conspiracy to thoughtful his government soon after this year because he didn't pharma farms too much. this year had vista of moscow at the time that she had started, especially military, that was received by the americans, that perhaps the song was going to shoot and chinese blog. and they used allegedly bucks on deliveries and did an opposite party office government. but since then, he has to intimate of consumers according to sort of a 72 percent buckets on consider the us as the enemy. and now it has become extremely difficult for the current government and the part for the military to arrest him, just because that he enjoys an extreme popular public sport. and that has become problematic for the military, which is known to be making and breaking government in the pocket. but it seems now the situation is fostering and barcus on the dynamics of the power politics is

changing. and obviously, because it goes to the former prime minister was changing the traditional and historical dynamics of the politics. then it seems that the define politics of the former prime minister is forcing the military to choose is policy. or maybe if that doesn't happen, there is a possibility of a violent reaction from the people in party song. well, senior member of em, ron counts part, he has said the size of the rallies testifies to the continued level of support. the politician and former cricket star enjoys in the south asian country. public has been somewhat charge if you see says to 9 to for the public is behind it behind him. wrong and last night was to be one of us that on we would be door. that is an a don't isn't charges. so the public reacted. so didn't dive in if you see in the hall county log everyone in parking. so you can see the people coming over the street in protesting. i've used a gun which we believe it's an important regina which has been imposed on focus on

through a jeep change exercise. i still live not to research associate at the center for security strategy and policy research at the university of law for side alleys i had jaffer you're most welcome. are you surprised, though that the high court imposed this pre arrest bail when it's only until thursday is not just delaying the inevitable? his arrest? and no, i'm not surprised to daughter, because this is a fundamental right for any person accused. in such a case to get protective custody. and i'm not surprised also because of what you said in your primer. the massive public support didn't we saw yesterday night was this story. like in the span of 30 minutes, people all across the country, radius, radius city centers. they were on the street. they get 3 m long in the heart. let

me did it or is it not known to be that active politically. but they found these children grandmother's grandfather. they came out on the street at 3 and was remarkable. and as we speak, people outside of his house in bonnie goler from about and thousands of people are on their way to is trauma. so i'm, i'm not surprised to daughter, and i don't hear it because it's a frivolous case. he only asked about, he only conveyed to the public that you'd be taking some officials to court. and every person in every part of the world is relevant in their rights to anybody to court. leave me feel it as being wrong. what has is on the wrong, so i don't see it anywhere near to being anything related to terrorism at all. that's what i was going to say. how's this terror case?

has it been built against iran, callan, solid bronze? or is it as has been a ledge? the interior minister attempting to perhaps suppress the opposition somewhat given the huge support for the 4 pm being seen across pakistan. absolutely. one of my previous discussions with the r t, i get to go to the, the said that the government has tried every option to, you know, suppress him. ron hon. and his support based but nothing is working yesterday while this case was being made him run con, let me tell you he defeated that they did the testing party coalition in the bible in good r t by a margin of more than $16000.00 boards on social media on you do on, on the and on the pulling stations and run on it is on

a rampage. and let me also tell you one thing that after the media ban on his speech is written by the b is not written in the sunny law m. ron con speech. during the run con speech, you do blood also band for a big in park is done. however, that has not stopped about a 1000000 on his speech in the bus 23. so as i said earlier, nothing is working and i don't see anything working going forward. we leave it there only for time constraints on a busy news. our security and policy unless side alley jeffrey many thanks. thank you very much. the united kingdom could face electricity blackouts this winter for the 1st time in 50 years. that's under worst case scenario plans

reportedly being drawn up by the government if the gas shortage is combined with a cold season. now the warning comes as average electricity cost shoots up to $4.00 times higher than last year, reaching more than $4000.00 pounds per household annually. quite a ride prediction suggest the power shortfall lasting up to a week in january. now in total runs, $6000000.00 britons 10 percent of the population would be impacted authorities. i've suggested that people turn off appliances between pig evening demand to save power. and as the gas price across the us had a new record, 2 officials and era voice concerned that citizens will have to choose between buying food or heating their homes. you're sure to contribute a ritual marston's take on the situation. anyone who just a few months ago would amused about a potential humanitarian crisis in the u. k. or d, industrialization of germany or blackouts in wealthy switzerland would have probably been laughed at of the room and into an insane asylum. we're talking here

about the most developed nations on earth, and yet that's exactly where things are at to day. it's still summer time here in europe with the winter's peak heating seasons still always off. and yet, every day now official across the continent are making increasingly dire. predictions about the impact of the energy crisis caused by europe sanctioning of its own gas supply from russia. the latest to sound the alarm is the mayor of london city khan, who called attention on twitter to britain's national hall system leaders saying that the u. k. could be facing a humanitarian crisis as people have to make a choice between feeding themselves and paying for heating. as we near the winter months, choosing between heating and eating is a fair and reality. for many, the impact on people's health will increase the pressure on our, in a chess off to, to pandemic years. the government must act now to protect people in the n, a chest british industry. leaders are also warning of potential closures of shops,

restaurants, cafes, and nightclubs. as they get hit with impossibly high energy bills, perhaps even to the point of bankruptcy, according to media reports and representatives of german industry fear an exodus of manufacturers of car parts, chemicals and steel, all to, to record high costs of power, currently reaching a price that's $11.00 times higher than typical analysts are also fearing resulting on rust. if the industry has to go to shortened work, weeks and reduced pay, thanks to the energy crunch. this is where i get nervous. the ingredients for social unrest are there and the risk of that is under appreciated. meanwhile, swiss officials are drawing up doomsday style scenarios. i made a fear of potential blackouts or even a shut down of the power grid. all these nations officials are going to great lengths to comment on how they're handling this slow motion train wreck screening about the potential fall out, while ignoring the fact that halting the crash is entirely within the power and

control of their own governments. they're not innocent bystanders, their architects of this crisis. and it's just a matter of stepping back from the ledge, taking a deep breath and ending their self harming sanctions. but instead, as the e, you constantly points out. they're all united this time in their folly. and it seems increasingly like their intent on pulling all of their citizens down together with them or trade unions on community organizations have created they enough. is enough campaign to fight against the rising cost of living and have made 5 demands to improve the situation. they want a real pay increase in pensions on benefits too much soaring, inflation and energy bill slash saying people can't afford another price, like they're also demanding guaranteed food for everybody to make the rich pay more by raising taxes on the wealthy.
