to our prime minister, iran con, faces arrest censorship and criminal charges from the ruling at lead. we compare his case with that, a former us president donald trump, the the tuesday well headlines finding all corners of the globe. welcome to the program. it's on the institution. the car bombing death of journalist diarrhea do going to hear it. moscow shows the criminal character of the ukrainian states. now that's a chording to russia's envoy to the united nations who plans to raise the issue a tuesday's security council meeting. his remarks came off the russian federal investigators linked the killing to key of special forces. i'm really video footage of the main suspect ukrainian woman who came to russia a month ago and left straight to estonia right after the killing. moscow says the
1:02 am
suspect natalia wolf was spotted near duke and his home. and at the event where the victim's car was wide with at least 400 grams of explosives, your credit officials have denied any involvement in duke and his killing said the accusations all quote fiction created by russia. the un has also called for an urgent investigation. and the us has issued a statement saying they quote, on equivocal condemn, with the targeting of civilians. let's get a report now from our correspondent artes donald quarter. well, the f s, these official investigation has concluded that the assassination of journalists and political analysts, daria do gonna was carried out by the ukrainian secret services. the official statement has identified the terrorist says, a 43 year old woman who's a ukranian citizen named natalia, evolved and her 12 year old daughter who was brought along named sophia siobhan. now according to the f s. b, they were following around. daria do gonna, in a mini cooper, this mini cooper entered russia,
1:03 am
entered the country with danielle people's republic license plates, and then it was traveling around moscow with catholic stan license plates and then left the country to estonia with ukrainian license plates. the country where the assailants made their getaway to the same mini cooper were talking about here was also seen on ukrainian websites for sale earlier before this attack took place. but that, but that listing has been actually taken down. the lot of people on the internet are saying that by putting up a listing to sell the car, the assailants were trying to have an alibi before they committed the act. as for where the assailants carried out this attack, it likely took place at a literature, music festival that both the assailants were at hand. daria do gonna and her father alexander doogan before she was killed shortly before she was killed before a bomb was planted under the drivers side of the vehicle. russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman murray is a horror of a has called this a terrorist attack on her telegram channel,
1:04 am
and that's exactly what it is. there's no grey area for interpretation. this was an act of state sponsored terror against unarmed civilians. and just to give you some background on the victim of this attack, daria do gonna, she was the daughter of the anti western author and political commentator, alexander doogan. and she's also actually a personal friend of mine. her father, who has been targeted by the western media as a sort of advisor to vladimir putin on foreign policy issues for the longest time they've in the western media, he's been really made out to be the really important person. while actually in russia, the kremlin has not officially recognized any time with him, and many consider him to be quite a marginal figure. and it's also important to note that many are saying that there's a lot of speculation and reports that i would to under do was actually the true target of this attack. considering the fact that this bomb was actually planted under the drivers side of alexander, duke. and car, and it was only after a last minute decision for him to take
1:05 am
a separate vehicle to another place. and for daria to take his car that we unfortunately saw that dory do can do gonna was killed in this attack. this is a crime is a tragedy for the family. preventing such an incident is very difficult, especially one that happened like this one did in broad daylight, alexander, duke and is of interest as a philosopher and as a thinker, i don't agree with him on everything. but that doesn't matter, right now. this country has fallen back on a weapon of the week terrorism because the american political scientist on socio ologist marks the border says it was clearly an active state sponsored terror. while political analysts, steve gill, says, one of the most important questions right now was how the world will react. first of all, it is, we said that this is a clear act of political terror. we know from figures a former russian duma member who defected
1:06 am
to ukraine and became a member of the ukrainian military trying to muddy the waters on a ukrainian propaganda channel. but making it clear that daria do again herself, was targeted specifically as well as her father. this is a cold blooded terrorist act to murder a 29 year old woman, an academic, a civilian. and there is no grey line on this. this is an act of really heinous political terror. 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 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?
1:07 am
and i think the question is, will the united nations will other world leaders step up and decry that and start to condemn ukraine in the way that they would other terror sponsoring nations? ah, the u has been getting increasingly involved in the ukrainian conflict with a block now considering conducting a large scale military training program for the ukrainian armed forces are the contributor rachel martin has her thoughts on this. the rhetoric from some leadership figures in europe is growing increasingly militaristic and seems to be laying the groundwork for greater aggression and involvement in the ukraine conflict. the european union's chief diplomat, joseph burrell said on monday that the block's defense ministers will be considering a proposal at their meeting in prague next monday, and tuesday to get involved in training ukrainian troops on e u. territory. public. it seems reasonable that
1:08 am
a war that is lasting and looks set to last requires an effort. not only in terms of supplies of material nicky, but also in training and assistance to the organization of the army. and i hope it will be approved. it will not be in ukraine, it will be in, in neighboring countries, which already have training missions, britain and canada are already train ukrainian fighters and britain may be canada, will actually vet them this time to avoid the embarrassment of being outed by the canadian mainstream media again for training fighters who flagrantly sported neo nazi symbols and speaking at the use land warfare conference in london, britain's army chief general sir patrick sanders evoked to ramping up called operation. mobilize to prepare british troops for urban combat and to fight alongside nato allies in a high intensity conflict in europe. the british armies top ranked warn officer paul carney, also just wrote in soldier magazine, which is the official monthly published by the u. case, ministry of defense,
1:09 am
that british troops should get ready for the possibility of deployment, amid the ukraine conflict, for which they should prepare their families. i want us all to check, we are physically fit for operations, and it is also important. we prepare loved ones and families who often have the hardest role in our absence. now, french president, a mentor in mac hall, also raised eyebrows here in france a few days ago when he framed the energy crisis and economic hardship caused by the use own sanctions. as the price of freedom in a quote, war economy should also not look through. i am thinking of all people who will need the strength of mind to face the times ahead to resist uncertainties sometimes to ease adversity and united agree to pay the price of our freedom and our values. france isn't at war with russia, but it seems like an attempt to blame russia for french citizens suffering under the ease on sanctions. it also makes you wonder why he knows about how bad things
1:10 am
are about to get here in europe. as the energy and inflation crises start to really bite, all of this militaristic rhetoric seems all the more risky in light of some ukranian officials growing increasingly bold in their violent remarks. i am sir richard ward . we try to kill as many russians as possible, where the more we kill russians now, the less our children will have to kill them. that's it. and european and western officials, if they truly want peace, they certainly seem to be headed in precisely the opposite direction with their recent comments. local officials say at least 2 civilians have been killed and several others wounded. and yet another round of ukrainian military shelling this on the don gets republic off. his roman culture tells us more about the russian investigation into these reported atrocities. the russian investigative committee continues to document war crimes committed by ukrainian nationalist against
1:11 am
a civilians here in don't ask residential areas are under constant shilling right now. we are at one of the addresses here in done as, as you can see, there is a crater from my, what is presumably a ukranian grad rocket. you can see the impact on the ground. and you can also see what happened to the house. all of these holes resulted from the shrapnel, from this particular shell of to register him the yep. i went to the store yesterday, around 10 o'clock, my daughter called me and said, who had been blown off with all the windows broken. and he became running over and said, drop everything and gone home. i arrived in my husband, whose blind was stay at home. the neighbors who alter their projectile had landed right here you conceal the damage. there was another one that hid the neighbor's property a week ago. of course were frightened. when the shalon starts,
1:12 am
i drop everything and run into the house. several districts of the city of the nascar being shelled on a daily basis. on friday alone, at least 2 people have been killed and the several have been injured are now have the hospital. this is just one of many houses that was destroyed by the shilling of ukrainian nationalists. and there are hundreds of houses like this. all around the city owens could be for the bureau, nuclear ukrainian military formations have continued showing the city of the nest in the keeps can cure of ski districts authorities from the investigative committee arrived to the scene. today, we are now conducting an inspection of homes that were destroyed from the alleged artillery fire. we are currently collecting fragments that will be sent for forensic examination to determine the type and characteristics of the ammunition. still then ask residents who were wounded by ukrainian shelling continued, arriving at the cities that republican promised sensor doctors here working
1:13 am
overtime and had been doing that for the last 8 years. right now we'll try and talk to some of the wounded regularly soon to school. there were a lot of petal, mine's him, we started collecting them and so that people wouldn't get caught. i came to st classes about 50 of them. they were also seminar neighbors, gordon. we went there and i found around 70 petal mines. i put them in 2 heaps and set them on fire and blew them up. i was already tired. i went to the garden and they were still petals lying near the fence. i was there to clean them up, but it exploded 3 maces away from me. my leg was torn off as these pedal mines lying in the sun. you shouldn't approach them. it's dangerous. so a pedal mine overheated exploded and hit me. they left a lot of pencil minds. they were throwing them there every 10 days. one guy died recently. he got a petal mine, his stomach, there were a lot of petal minds at the bus stop and lots of still lying somewhere. i have found out that most of the victims at the trauma center here in jonas became a injured as the result of so called betsel or butterfly mines,
1:14 am
which have been outlawed by a several conventions around the world. the mines look very small and always last couple of weeks or so at least 40 people have been wounded here in the nest alone. the type of injury is usually a severed limb from on cauthrin archie, the nest people's republic. let's bring us to put it for you here on our t unleashing a barrage of rocket fire that russian hurricane artillery vehicles. launch an attack on ukrainian military positions. it is a footage runs by moscow's defense ministry from a classified location somewhere on the front lines. ah,
1:15 am
it says a grouping of a hurricane artillery systems using $220.00 millimeter rockets to attack positions of the ukranian armed forces. that's as fighting has intensified for control over the key city of other yes and against republic. we've been discussing the conflict in ukraine with a russian writer and public figures caught up relief and back in 2014. when the conflict in the east of ukraine began, he went to the front lines in the region to report on the fighting. and he shared his thoughts with us about the ukrainian conflict. dragging on yesterday, i see this email to your leadership stuff. if russia decides for itself that relations with europe should be suspended. if not closed, then we would be able to do a law. we have already given grant to europe, but maybe we did it in vain because they didn't feed africa. they fed themselves, i'm afraid they will start asking for a truce again, because this long story will begin again. and we know perfectly well that if the ukrainian conflict would drag on,
1:16 am
it will never end. we already tested this example after 2014, with uminski agreements. a frozen conflict does not mean that some lives will be saved. it just means that at a later stage, people will have to sort it out in tougher circumstances. your ah, pakistan's ousted prime minister imran khan has been under severe pressure from political rivals who are now in power. here at ot, we take a look at comparisons to his case, but also to that of a former us president donald trump, as both former leaders faced potential criminal charges. that's got an explanation on this now. his ortiz, rachel blevins. the crackdown on the former prime minister of pakistan continues months after he was removed from office, and it's drawing comparisons to the buying and ministrations treatment of former president trump. in a world where both former officials have seen their supporters compared to domestic terrorist m round con is now reportedly facing terrorism charges. following
1:17 am
a speech, he gave to a crowd of supporters in which he vowed a lawsuit against police, alleging that they tortured his close aid. this comes as regulators have also banned the live broadcast of his speeches. drawing sharp criticism from con in response, the fascist imported government sung to a new, lo today by bending live coverage of my speeches on tv and then blocking you to temporarily during my speech at least get bog. all this, after continuous intimidation of media persons and taking channels off air earlier, con continues to address anti government protest after he was removed and a vote of no confidence back in april the law, the government attempts to limit who can listen to his speeches that has only led to more attention and more support, so of con is facing terrorism charges. then what does that mean for his supporters? and could they face action themselves? notably, hundreds of individuals gathered outside of conn's home after the police investigation
1:18 am
into his speech was announced. and they've out to take over the capitol if he was arrested. so far that hasn't happened as a court issued a protective order that prevents his arrest for at least 3 days. ah, with comparisons to the politics in the u. s. have come about as trumps. reach was also limited after he was banned by all major social media platforms. how, where his supporters did participate and protest that turned into riots at the u. s . capital, back in january 2021. their faces were placed on f. b. i wanted posters. and so far, the longest sentence stands at more than 7 years. and while trump himself has hinted at running for office again in 2020 for the current administration,
1:19 am
appears to be doing everything in its power to keep him out of the white house. earlier this month, trump's home was rated by the f b i with the search warrant revealing and investigation under the espionage act. similar scrutiny has been applied to con. as pakistan's media watchdog argue that the prime minister's speeches amount to threats against state institution and government officials, and therefore it cannot be broadcast live. it has been observed that mr. iran con chairman pakistan. terry key in soft in his speeches and statements is continuously alleging state institutions by leveling baseless allegations and spreading hate speech through his provocative statements against state institutions and officers which is prejudicial to the maintenance of law and order, and is likely to asterisk, disturb public peace and tranquillity at the tail of 2 populous politicians who continued to influence the public despite the fact that they are no longer in office, raising questions of how far the government's will go to st. silence their voices,
1:20 am
and how their supporters will respond. this course live now to pakistan a political commentator, roberta eg about good. it's great to have you with us on the program. thank you for joining us. what do you make of him, ron kon speeches being removed by the pakistani media. first of all, who's behind it? and 2nd of all, is it legal? well, thank you very much for having me. and that's a very interesting comparison that you are drawing here between the u. s. excuse president, mr. trump and box on the prime minister and con, con, by many political commentators has been labeled as the brown from. so if you ask me about the, about the band that the fucks on electronic media regulatory authority camera on the live broadcast of the speech is made by x promise. your mom content is very much legal. it is very much in the power in the hands of the government that they can in next such things. similar kind of bands have also been lab against the x
1:21 am
prime minister and mentioned about should iep with living in sick self exile in london these days. so there's nothing new here, but the pointer is that the interesting comparison that you are drawing. but let me, let me put it here that an american political commentator john dean, has described mister from as a near perfect authoritarian leader. intimidating bullying exploited highly prejudiced nationalist and specializes in creating false images to sell, sell may or may not be religious for their stocks and it is between the 2 as they both have drawn upon the popularity. by the way, these parties, speech, you have a symbiotic relationship between him and his popularity. the more he gives such kind of speeches against the ruling elite pockets on and against the establishment . and by the way, he has turned to the judiciary as well. and now when we are talking to each other,
1:22 am
a cage is being heard. and buck songs some about the high court, where he has been allegedly corrected to be a district and session with all over the city he made in a, in a recent speed. i wanted to ask you though, i mean to tell us about the 10s of thousands of porters of enron calling, who have been coagulating in cities all across the country. here then the ruling party and the government is essentially deleting or blocking his speeches from going online or being televised. is that going? do you think the government, the, the ruling class or do you think that going to make the situation better by doing this? well, the thing so that this can make things better for them, but apparently this may not mean because they are using their own tactics. the power to have the authority to do that. but we must not forget that extra mention among hans political body has already gone to governance in control of bucks on the
1:23 am
largest province in terms of population and job. it is housing on 60 percent of the population and then the 3rd largest province for capital and some of those kinds of percentage between these 2 governments that are being run by buckets on 30 get in stop. so this ruling and eat as you are referring is only an independent. i meant that in the summer than many people say that this is a very limited. so as i'm saying that there's a symbiotic relationship between these fight speeches and the support, the more he goes fighting the more he goners, the support of the govern things. by cracking down all these speeches or the social media lines, they are wing to bring the popularity or the support the down. but the ground realities are giving us a different picture altogether. mailing and sort of jump in tens of thousands of people all over the country and warming into these enormous demonstrations. one might imagine, enron con is, is actually fitting quite boyd. but by, by this level of support being shown for him, i wanted to ask you that iran con,
1:24 am
his referred to, the pakistan government has an important government. he's also alleged that the united states orchestrated the vote of no confidence ultimately orchestrating his. allister, what's your view on that? yes, this is, this is a kind of the, the sentence that i have i have borrowed from being john, when he said that he is, he likes to play with the code and the cult personality and his following. he says that he is specializes in creating false images. this is one of the false images that he has created that the americans were against his ouster. as a matter of fact, the progress money is published and the senior focused on the security committee that has been can mean many times. and they have a kind of a buff. this claim that they have not been any conspiracy against the ouster of ex prime minister and wrong con. it was very much a constitutional process. and even that had been down by the supreme court of
1:25 am
august on, but i, they said that he's the ma, sort of creating images another to and people are forming him. he's a coach leader called his al. so you said that you said that he was essentially deposed. he was kicked out of the government by a, by, by a legitimate vote of no confidence. there were no conspiracies behind it. then how do you explain the hordes and masses of people demonstrating all across the country? surely, there must be some sort of fine line here or 2 sides to the story. yeah. but you see, the difference here is, as you can draw that if that was the american backing or the ouster by the american banking. just recently, there was a meeting of the american ambassador with the chief minister of coverage for co op, which is of course, a, b t, a gunman. and they had exchanged some good news. and if they were sort of robust against the americans, why didn't this raise this concern with the american government wide vendor is
1:26 am
concerned with the american embassy here and the newly appointed arbitrator. and it had also been report that among con, talk to the embassy to rather of surreptitiously with the american ambassador. so this is just a big claim. by the way, he has backed out of this claim of conspiracy in the recent pages in the last meeting. he's no more claiming that there has been american conspiracy. now he has been targeting different parts of the establishment to become and, and be independent. so the month off, the foreign conspiracy has gone back, it has taken back up. so these are the various kinds of narratives developed and then he sells. and i say that this is a co falling believe whatever he says right or wrong is a different debate altogether. very interesting concept for most about about good past on a political commentator, shedding some light on this from a broader perspective. really appreciate that. thanks for your time today. thank you. the anti competitive practices by big tech companies. that
1:27 am
is an allegation by indian authorities as they some representatives of us firms, apple, google, and amazon for questioning. correspondent, orange and sharma reports. do when is one of ballistic got to says the indian government has come down hard on big debt companies. the parliamentary standing committee on finance in india has been looking to witness aspects, all competition in the market space, especially concerning technology science, senior official and legal counselors, all companies such as google, apple, amazon ober, and netflix will appear before the committee on tuesday. representatives of apple, microsoft, amazon, google, netflix from their indian arms and a few others will appear before the parliamentary panel on the issue of competitive behavior in the digital market. all of the past few months to parliamentary committee of finance has been looking into the subject. they've been calling
1:28 am
different companies and service providers. in fact, last month about them g committee had thought fused from the likes of b t m o r o u, a sweet visa motto. do understand how some of the practices or big tech companies. google, for example, can distort the market for them, act as a barrier to market and see what their pockets and also restrict their functioning . so around 10 questions have been sent by the parliamentary committee of finance to the like. so apple, google, amazon, and netflix, which they will have to answer in film till the panel to de, while the competition commission of india dems to seek on a big dex. x. thoughts believe that shop on laws really are the needed. are the competition act? 2002 follows the philosophy of modern competition laws and aims at fostering competition in protecting indian markets against anti competitive practices by enterprises. the act prohibits anti competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position by enterprises and regulates combinations with
1:29 am
a view to ensure that there is no adverse effect on competition in india. in recent dimes big dec forms have come under government scanning after receiving several complaints about elijah an antique on but it to we've all acknowledge you've got forms and forms the c, c i or and the competition commission of india has already been some of these cases especially in the digital space for the inconvenience of unfair business status is . recent video shows police officers in the state of arkansas beating a suspect they were detaining the footage house and shockwave throughout the country should warn you. you may find the following images disturbing. oh, bring up the pictures for you right now. the pictures basically speak for themselves, and the officers involved had been suspended on a use of force investigation has been launched. a randall worcester was taken to a local hospital treated for his injuries before he was booked into jail on a list of charges, including terrorist threats and 2nd degree assault,
1:30 am
standing from an incident with a local gas station club. before his run in with police. the local sheriff on government officials have condemned the incident, but so far, washington hasn't commented on the case despite the graphic nature of the beating. this is the despite other cases of police brutality against black men, like george floyd, for example, which immediately prompted out cries from top us and un officials un human rights chief condemns. george floyd's killing an urgent, serious action to stop us police killing some unarmed african americans. this is the latest in a long line. so they're all kinds of expressions of concern, but not just expressions of concern plans to take action so that this stops well, there appears to be a growing epidemic of police brutality assault. and by.
