of some common ground with the impact of the shell that landed right in the center, all done at least 2 civilians are killed and many more injured as ukrainian troops . relentlessly shell the center of the done yes. city, according to local officials, also program no gas applies to europe, gas prom and nights is the north stream. one pipeline will remain completely closed over technical issues. e mails released by us attorney's general claim to show that by the administration has been in a quote,

incestuous relationship with big pack that says, drink content, that's all ahead this hour with broadcasting for moscow. this is our t. my name's unit a leal on 30 minutes of news and views start. we begin with the latest from the conflict and don baths were at least 2 civilians were killed. and 7 more injured does the city of than yet came under intense shelling by ukrainian troops. that's according to d, p. r. officials ortiz from on culture of is also there and centers this so i was just able to step outside of the basin because the shelling has just died down is still continuing at the moment. i don't have my alive this only right now because i was simply having dinner in the theater district. this is

the center of the city of dennis. this is the impact of the show that landed right in this sense are all done that's. it's certainly a very high caliber weapon. it's been quiet here for the last 10 minutes or so, but it's still very dangerous. and locals are hoping that air defense is working properly at the moment you can see people running. but sir, while we were in the basement in this restaurant, we heard at least 7, very, very loud explosions. the ground was shaking. the building was shaking. i promise you, there are no military positions here. all i can say is that the,

the building, all the administration of the head of the republic is, will probably about a kilometer away from where we are right now. but that building was shelled a week ago as well. so that sar gets o for the shelling is still unclear. the quote physical integrity of the embattled zapata, was she a nuclear power plant has been violated. that is the view of the chief of the u. n . z nuclear watchdog, which is currently assessing the site. i will continue to be worried about the plan dealer. we have a situation which is more stable, which is more predictable. it is obvious that that the plan and the physical integrity of the plan has been violated several times by chance, by, by deliberation. we don't have the elements to assess that, but this is a reality that we with that we have to recognize something that cannot continue to

happen. well, the mission arrived to the plant on thursday, shortly after ukrainian forces have attempted to seize the site. according to local officials. among the head of the international atomic energy agency has not returned to kiev control territory. the bodies representatives will continue to assess the other story to bring you today. russia has a nice it will not restart gas supplies to europe as planned on saturday. the countries energy giant gas problems that a full had been fined in a turbine and it's north stream one pipeline after maintenance checks. well, let's bring in our see contributor rachel marston on their high, rachel, so the russian gas stops to europe will be remaining firmly shut off. take us through developments. well,

the european union told russia that it could take its cheap gas and shove it believing that the move would derail moscow's ability to pursue its interests in ukraine. brussels celebrated its breakup with moscow boasting that it was going to seek out other relationships all while fully expecting to be able to carry on discreetly importing russian gas on the down low a kind of friends with benefits situation. i guess despite the break up, if only because it realised that it was tougher to replace than it had initially anticipated that gas, which is why there's been ongoing drama over the impact on the european economy of any prolonged maintenance shut downs of the nord stream. one pipeline operated by gas from that is long transported, rushing gas into europe and initial shut down of the line. earlier this summer was related to german turbines, repaired and stuck in canada. the west's own anti russian sanctions blocked their

return. now flows have since been reduced and were halted for 3 days this week. and now the russian energy giant says that the pipeline cannot re open as planned, as we can due to an oil leak. at one of the turbines that pumps the gas rustic needs or warns that de malfunction and damage that was found doesn't allow for the safe and accident free work of the gas turbine engine. until the problems with the equipment are resolved, the transport of gas into the nord stream pipeline has been completely stopped. the company says it's unsure how long the specialized repairs will take. the news is already set off a panic within the e. u though as member states race to fill their reserves ahead of the winter heating season and hope that whatever they can squirrel away will be enough. but european officials already aren't sounding too optimistic at all. french prime minister elizabeth bonus said earlier this week that french households could

realistically face to our electrical blackouts if the situation deteriorates. and french industry prepares for gas cuts as well. germany's rushing plan, a hail mary pass to avoid blackouts and shortages came into effect this week. you commission president ursula vander lane says that the u energy market doesn't work because of russian president vladimir putin. but it's brussels that keeps insisting on fiddling with it. most recently pushing for a price cap ceiling on russian gas. former russian president to me to be met via dev, said that would result in quote, no russian gas in europe. meanwhile, g 7 countries adopted a cap on russian oil, which would also mean a loss of supply for those customers. according to moscow, the pattern here seems to be one of unilateral western sanctions against their own supply, followed by panic and scapegoating of moscow when they realize that while hey,

their actions have consequences r t contribution rachel march. then bring this right up the date on both. thanks, rachel. and just as she was saying there, the grip of 7 finance chiefs have agreed to impose a price cap on russia. oil, according to a statement released after a meeting of the forums, ministers, the new restrictions which are due to come into effect in december also, ban services enabling maritime transportation of russia, crude and petroleum products. however, exceptions would be made only in the case of oil being purchased at a price below the cap. g 7 leaders claim the move is aimed reducing rushes revenues and comes despite moscow warning that it won't supply to anyone. applying the new restrictions just to run a credit order, those countries that will join the potential price caps will not be among the recipients of russian oil,

or we simply will not interact with them in terms of oil on such non market conditions. first name william, our oil will go to other markets to those countries that are ready to act according to market conditions. the response from moscow is pretty straightforward. if you're part of the agreement, then that cit, you won't be able to buy russian commodities. and i'm saying commodities because potentially this isn't only about oil. so what are the u. s. the u. k. and allies trying to achieve here, we confirm our joint political intention to implement a comprehensive prohibition of services which enable maritime transportation of russian origin, crude oil and petroleum products globally. the provision of such services would only be allowed if the oil and petroleum products are purchased at or below a price. the price cap determined by the broad coalition of countries we've already heard from the white house that in the energy fields, this is the most effective way to punish the russian government. now,

when it comes to natural gas, we also heard from of the head of the european commission, or sla funder line that she supports a price cap also on russian gas, not only in europe, but globally to but then comes the question, how can you call that globally, if, for instance, china is not part of it, right? the skeptics will tell you that russia has plenty of alternative consumers. and i do have to say that there are quite a few skeptical voices among western industry experts to i don't know of anybody who works in markets who believes this is a workable idea. and i think most of us who work in markets believe that it has dangers associated with it. it invites opportunities to use potential loopholes. and like very often in the past, we are hearing of voices that there is currently not enough capacity in the world to replace russian energy supplies. the us doesn't have the capacity to fill that

up as the opec producers are not gas producers. in any case, there isn't any l n g to passing the world to make up for the russian exports to, to europe. they were running at about 14000000 cubic feet, and then we have to find the resources to replace. so that's going to take years. the nearest future will show whether the price cap agreement will backfire on those who introduced it, or really become an effective punishment tool against the russian government. well, independent journalists based in brussels, lucrative a believes that plan price comp and rational will backfire. and those imposing it, some would say it could be workable because all is a commodity, unlike gas, but i don't think it will to market will find its way. those who will be punished are again the europeans will certainly never work. is the gas sanction

that misses, fatherly m, as, as them declared a possibility today in copenhagen, this can not work a toll. we absolutely need russian gas for the next 5 to 10 years. europeans will have to turn to while the source is done. russia because since they punish themselves by saying we will put a cap and we will not buy bought that gap and brushes, we won't deliver to you anyway. so they will turn to other sources in the middle east in venezuela, in other places. and because suddenly venezuela is, again, a country that they talked, that's very strange on that so, so they will, they will have to, to go to all the sources and the price. this will. so that will increase me should do without any price increase in oil. our gas versus terrible for the consumers here in europe. turn off the light sun turned on the heat. that's the message

increasingly being conveyed to people in europe, us government scramble to slash soaring energy bills. it comes in mid fears, as we heard of a shortage of gas this winter of sanctions against russia bite. i spoke to the former austrian foreign minister card and can i sell to get her take on the growing crisis? i cannot imagine that the europeans are going to do what they are currently doing because the stakes esl high. so that was my real inner conviction. now, 7 months later we see that they went even so the stakes are very high. it's irrational. but we have seen an irrational behavior long before february 24th. ah, indiana, you are accountable towards your electorate. this will have to be decided by the german electorate. but the over all issue on all night, you level you've got the air foreign policy chief use a barrel. recently acknowledging that certain voices within the block are urging

a rethink mouth sanctions. how loud, how significant from what you've seen are those voices when you break it down to the very simple point of departure? when do you introduce sanctions or why? where did particular sanctions introduce it was to coerce the russian government into it change of behavior. so that this was the point of departure, have to succeed it. no. but their own people are being hurt the other even more so is that not a more radical rethinking needed? now, a lot of people have, ah, put their heads too far out of the window, if i right. okay. if i felt that at that felt that, that how would put it in german or, and to rule back, no, would look foolish that this is one right. of course you see now they're hurting, and people sat in the beginning. yes, we are going to take that pain via ready to do that. that was that the government set up, but always assuming that there will be

a change in action by the russian government. so did this, this says this is the current situation. karen can, i shall, speaking to the program earlier, not moving on an incestuous relationship, but is how us attorneys general hub. describe the relationship between top officials from the biden administration and big tech. the louisiana uh, missouri officials released the series of emails showing more than 40 employees of the current administration as well as some u. s. agencies have been pressing social media platforms to center content. we have already received a number of documents that clearly prove that the federal government has an incestuous relationship with social media companies and clearly coordinates to censor freedom of speech. the department of justice is cowering behind executive privilege and has refused to turnover communications between the highest ranking biden administration officials and social media companies. they're referencing what

they say are a series of documents. and now they're saying that these documents show conversations between top social media platforms and around 45 federal officials. specifically when it comes to content loaner ration and those good old words of misinformation and dis, information that we have heard so much about lately. now as specifically when it comes to facebook, that's a big one that's mentioned here. and in one of the conversations at facebook, official actually talks about meetings directly with the white house. i know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the white house expects from facebook on misinformation going forward. in our previous conversations, i've appreciated the way you and your team have approached our engagement, and we have worked hard to meet the moment. we've dedicated enormous time and resources to fighting this pandemic, and consider ourselves to be partners in fighting the same battle. now, speaking of dis information, and there is then this conversation where he at another facebook official talks

about reaching out to the cdc directly and asking for help with their policy. we have been talking about in addition to our weekly meetings, doing a monthly mison fo debunking meeting with maybe claim topics communicated a few days prior. so that the c d. c can bring and matching experts and chat casually for 30 minutes or so. yes, we would love to do that. now that line of conversation am curious, just gone both ways. here. there are also emails that were sent by the white house cove in 19 response team, in which they were reaching out to facebook. actually asked them to take down an instagram parity account. doctor anthony felt she facebook's response was to say, yep on it. so there was no push back there when we had that back and forth between those 2, when it came to content, moderation was extraordinary. really isn't. it comes right after confirmation by meta c o. mark zuckerberg, that the f b. i interfered in the 2020 presidential election by pressuring his company to

center ledge, russian misinformation and the hunter biden laptop. story to that's right. you may remember back in october 2020 facebook and twitter took really unprecedented and moves to censor this story about hunter biden's lock top. that was published by the new york post office of didn't go quite as far as twitter did. however, mark dr. burger did speak out about that this week he admitted the f b. i reached out to him. now what's interesting here is he said that the f b, i was warning him to be prepared for some sort of quote unquote, russian disinformation that facebook needed to be on high alert. and so she said that their decision to censor that story was part of them being on high alert. however, does, of course raise the question of how often this happens, how many times has it by ministration reached out to those social media tech giants and asked them to make certain decisions. and how often have they complied as these emails appear to show them?

in some cases they were even asking for more and more directions. do the revelations come as a surprise at all? well, with this administration, they become almost more and more expected, especially when you have someone like president by then who gave a speech earlier in which you referred to republicans as extremists. there's a lot of building concern about what his administration has done and what it's continuing to do when it comes to those members of the public that they don't agree with. and it's even drawing some comparisons to a police state like this one. take a list. so that laptop was not sensors because it was propaganda. whatever that means, it was censored because it might hurt joe biden. that is the definition of police state behavior. so certainly a lot of state care and a lot of concerns, especially as we get closer and closer to that mid term election with top social media. diane's like facebook, twitter are ready saying that they plan to act against when they see as misinformation law, specialist on media analysts,

lionel asks wife the u. s. government has seemingly been targeting freedom of speech on social media platforms. what i don't understand is why don't we talk about section 230, had the communications decency act. now the whole idea is that this is the immunity . this is the, this is the life blood of social media platforms where they said the only way that we can survive is if you guarantee that you cannot sue us for libel and slander. because after all, we're not publishers. we don't do anything to censure. what is or is it being said? so please provide us with this immunity. well, that's not true. they said, sure all the time. and what i find even more interesting is, are these, these politicians who do nothing but every 6 months or a year, they'll bring in the usual suspects, drag him into congress, and then all is forgotten. weird. the only ones talking about this when the people who could really do something, namely the congress and the senate, and by the way, government all over the world. dear deerish sleep, but to switch,

you're not doing anything. they're just saying this is terrible. ah, big developments in the tech world to tell you about the u. s. has ordered a whole to the sale of artificial intelligence chips to china and russia. the order impacts 2 major american ai chip producers, and video and a m d whose stock price has been plummeting. ortiz kill up my pen breaks down developments. now this will essentially restrict and prevent the advanced work of the video when it comes to business in the country. things like image recognition, it'll basically prevent them from functioning fully in china. now we've heard from the shiny chinese commerce ministry about this. this is what the, what the commerce ministry of china had to say on the topic de la, for a period of time. the us has been abusing export control measures to restrict the export, conduct all related items. china with family oppose this. meanwhile,

the president on taiwan is coming forward and saying that they are looking forward to producing what they're calling democracy ships in coordination with united states to you and cultivation would be nice with states in the semiconductor and all the high tech industry and look forward to johnny produce and democracy chiefs to see the interest of all democratic partners. you can create great prosperity. all underscore is the deepening tension between the united states and china. and it appears the united states is tempting to essentially weaponized ship markets for geo political. and now the results on the stock market have not been good in video stock as suffered as has a m d and others. and so that's the situation we're in. i think the united states is moving ahead with trying to prevent china from having access to certain computer chip technologies. police, i'm identified. the man who tried to assassinate the argent tinian vice president,

christina kurtz, nor on thursday night. the would be assassin is reportedly a 35 year old brazilian man on the said to have ties to extremist groups are ti spanish correspond. ricardo romero can tell us more in the way you standing in the street near the building that houses miss fernandez. the cushion is apartment, an attempt to assassinate the origin. teenie and vice president took place when she patty back home from the important session at the senate. after the incident, the rides around her apartment was sealed off in the building was placed under armed guard. there was several federal argentinian police officers who worked with him to pope. there was also a group of her followers which had gathered to show their support to catching up. this demonstration outside a home in the recollected neighborhood has been and away for the last 11 days since the prosecutor jamera requested a 12 year prison sentence for oak ashna, if convicted in a corruptions game involving public contracts. just to remind you this past weekend, there was a ronnie which resulted in mass unrest. well,

getting back to the latest incident, miss fernandez the cache that was escorted by presidential guards on her way back home. she gone after the cars started talking with her followers, signing autographs on books and photos. for that very moment to 35 bro, brazilian national had been living in argentina's in 1993 pointed a gun loaded with 5 bullets. at the face of the vice president, he pulled the trigger, but the gun failed to go off. her phone was seized, the man before the federal place, then took him into custody. it's worth noting that right after the assassination attempt kushner entered the building and spend the whole night in her apartment. during the night, no statement was released and no action was taken against her. supposes who gathered outside a herd. while, while details into the assassination attempt continued to emerge, walter from mento, director of the center for research and politics and economics, think tank which specializes on issues affecting latin american society. shared his thoughts with us about the incident this she, the on,

we believe this assassination attempt resembles candidates in 1963 old. what occurred when he was the only serious politician in the united states. he advocated peace created, necessary conditions for that while anglo saxon financial circles were fooling with the war and dragging the country deeper into the vietnam one. 0 yeah. i see the need to draw this parallel confetti, vice president shuttle kirschner is able to foster peace, democracy, employment, and integrity in the global economy without harming national sovereignty or politics. challenge those financial leads which aim to impose their own terms. this assassination attempt should not be perceived as a random act committed by sick man. as was the talk after kennedy's killing, we should examine this case as it is the only way to avert similar political assassinations in the future. 12 years in jail,

that's the sentence on this really court has handed down to a former director of the galaxy branch of an international humanitarian organization. mohammed's al, hello, abby was accused of financially helping a hamas organization, which israel considers a terror grouping. mr. al, hello, abby vehemently denies all the charges against them. his brother shared his shock at the sentence that i am hammer, the elm, israel's not targeting mohammad only, but all future generations who may work in the humanitarian field. and this is dangerous to all international institutions, somewhat operating than the gaza strip deal that will face even more difficulties. 100, since mohammed's case is not an issue of an individual person, but an issue of our future. i love cool. it was family was waiting for samuel for 6 years and for him to return to start as humanitarian work and the gaza stud that had that. and therefore, they were all shocked by listening to this that it, especially as 2 youngest children who have not seen him for years. i may forget what he looks like above it. well, something important to note here is that independent investigations have concluded

that convicted aid worker did not commit any on world vision international law as the organization where mohammed worked insist that their ex chief was not involved in any money. funneling mr. i'll holidays attorney say's he found the appeal while his supporters denounced the court's ruling. so i'm going to miss without the last rejected the decision of the court, especially since she was administratively paid for 6 years without the family or the children knowing what he said. there is no clear public evidence from the really authorities to sentence him for wealth years, another mackenzie administrative detention, simply because it's a private person of his rights to live with his family. i am against civilian being tried after such a long period of administering to an engine. and is that i only called thank of the farmer within the major medical aid organization in gaza. that was viewed on the challenging of transferring money to the movement of any senior out of the group in

the course that includes according to his lawyer, my had hannah, i'd had to be said that he's innocent. is there any forces that they had to be in your 2016 at the midtown noon editor cro thing guys he was returning from 2 guys up from a work meeting. well, how much was the other thing on charges of unfitting humanitarian puns and varying amounts of up to 50? the many on deresa support how much i've had, i mean 6 years behind bars and underwent more than 171 heated before being convicted. while the former director of the palestinian non governmental organization that we're told r t, the decision essentially gives israel a green light to target any humanitarian worker violating international law. but it's very hard to share a decision. it's unfair rolling and there is this decision target

going to humanitarian assistant to the destiny. people are hammered. holla, beer. he used to walk in international and you all walking in a humanitarian issues are getting bored and marginalized groups. there is no evidence, no prove that he is guilty and he is a war can get to support commerce or any political faction. this decision of body of the edi violation of international human rights law, abusing via roles in order to target the people are the best ones who's working in relief and the humanitarian issue, or justification that he is supporting directly or indirectly a hamas movement. i think it's unique in case, but it's also very dangerous because maybe that will give encourage door or is there any records and there's an 80 additionally system to

carry on a, based on the secret information that they have to in the brackets, or to accuse anybody who's working, getting home and their young assistant on human terrier organizations, or i are busy news day if you're in the mood for a little more as we enter the 1st week, end of september, do give us a follow on twitter. plenty to get stuck into there this ah ah .
