a good mission with us, did you mention to you that we brought it home? great on yoko road is that there's almost been a year with the impact on this show that landed right in this sense, they're all done. at least 2 civilians are killed and many more injured as ukrainian troops. relentlessly shell the center of done yes. city, according to local officials, also program no gas applies to europe. gas prom announces the north stream. one pipeline will remain completely closed from our technical issues with emails

released by u. s. attorneys. general, a claim to show that by the administration has been in a quote, incestuous relationship with big pack name that shrink content. that's all ahead this hour with broadcasting from moscow. this is our t. my name's unit the lead on 30 minutes of news and views started. we began with the latest from the conflict in don bass 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 are tease from on call strip 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 on me right now because i was simply having dinner in the theater district. this is the center of the city of the nest. this is the impact of the show that landed right in this sense are all done that's. it's certainly a very, a 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 old for the shelling is still unclear. the quote physical integrity of the in bottles up under was she a nuclear power plant has been violated. that is the view of the chief of the u. n's nuclear watchdog, which is currently assessing the site. i will continue to be worried about the data . we have a situation which is more stable, which is more predictable. it is obvious that's 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 this site according to local officials. and while the head of the international atomic energy agency has not returned to kiev control territory, the bodies representatives will continue to assess the get another story to bring you today russia 190. it will not restart gas supplies to europe as planned on saturday. the countries energy giant gas problems that a fault 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 reopen as planned, as we can due to an oil leak. at one of the turbines that pumps the gas ross tech needs or warns that the 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 members 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 this 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 med via dev said that would result in. busy 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 us 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 russian 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 more time 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 at reducing rushes revenues and comes despite moscow warning that it won't supply to anyone. applying

the new restrictions just run and consider 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. can you, would you, 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 field. this is the most effective way to punish the russian government. now, when it comes to natural gas, we also heard from 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 u. s. doesn't have the capacity to fill that up and 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. there 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 journalist based in brussels, lucrative a believes that plum price camp in russian or will backfire. and those imposing it, some would say it could be workable because oil 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 all the sources the brush 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 all the 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 prices will. so that will increase. we certainly should do without any price increase in oil. our gas versus terrible for the

consumes 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 us sanctions against russia byte. 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. so this will have to be decided by the german electorate. but the over all issue on only 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 say that at that fall, that, that how would put it in german or, and the to rule back no would look foolish that this is one right. of course you see now the hurting and people sat in the beginning. yes,

we are going to take that pain via ready to do that. that's what the government set up, but always assuming that there will be a change in action by the russian government. so did this, this is the current situation. karen, can i so speaking to the program earlier, not moving on an incestuous relationship, that is how us attorney's 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's cowering behind executive privilege and as to refuse to turnover communications

between the highest ranking biden administration officials and social media companies there 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, longer ration, and those good old words of misinformation and dis, information that we have heard so much about lately. now 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 missing 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, i'm 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 in them to take down an instagram parity account of doctor anthony fancy. 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

a comes right after confirmation by met to see you. mark zuckerberg, that the f. b. i interfered in the 2020 presidential election by pressuring his company to center ledge. russian misinformation on 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. now facebook didn't go quite as far as twitter did. however, mark sucker bird did speak out about that this week. he admitted the f b i reached out to him. now it's interesting here is he said that the f b, i was warning him to be prepared for some sort of quote unquote, russian dis, information that facebook needed to be on high alert. and so he said that their decision to censor 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 the,

by an administration reached out to those social media tech giants and ask 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 direction. do the revelations come as a surprise at all? well, with this administration, they've become almost more and more expected, especially when you know, someone like president biden, who gave a speech earlier in which you referred to republicans as extremist. 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 proper dando, 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 stay care and a lot of concerns, especially as we get closer and closer to that mid term election with top social

media dans like facebook and twitter are ready saying that they plan to act against when they see as misinformation the 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 send sure what, 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 amanda congress and then all is forgotten

. weird. the only one to talking about this when the people who could really do something, namely the congress and the said it, and by the way, government all over the world. dear dear, we're sleep 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 and 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 have a confirmation with the united states in the semiconductor and all the high tech industry and look forward to johnny produced in the course, it's cheaper to see the interest of organ, chronic partners, or 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 some identified the man who tried to assassinate 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 the ties to extremist groups are te spanish correspond. ricardo romero can tell us more in the way you standing the street and the building that houses miss hernandez. the question is apartment, an attempt to assassinate the argentine 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 rally which resulted in mass unrest. while getting back to the latest incident, miss fernandez, the cache was escorted by presidential guards on her way back home. she got out of the car and started talking with her followers, signing autographs on books and photos. had that very moment to 30 fibrous 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 spent 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 1st about the incident. this is she the are, and we believe this assassination attempt resembles candidates in 1063. 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 to war. and dragging the country deeper into the vietnam one. 0 yeah, i see the need to draw this parallel fatty vice president shuttle kirschner is able to foster piece 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 is 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. and there's really court has 100 down to a former director of the gals at branch of an international humanitarian organization. mohammed's al, hello abby was accused of financially helping the hamas organization, which israel considers a terror grouping. mr. i'll ha lobby vehemently denies all the charges against them . his brother shared his shock at the sentence, the lamb. hm. mother, the elm, israel's not targeted mohammed 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 bill that will face even more difficulties. i've had since mohammad case is not an issue of an individual person. well, but an issue of our future i love couldn't was, family was waiting for israelis 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 especially as 2 youngest children

who have not seen him for years. and may forget what he looks like. the ladders who have 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 funding. mister, i'll holidays attorney essays. he found the appeal while his supporters denounced the court's ruling. someone can i 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 injury on the authorities to sentence him for wealth, years and other come out in mackenzie administrative detention, simply because it's a private person of his rights to live with his family. i am against the civilian being tried after such a long period of administering the attention and is that i only called son does the

farmer within the major medical aid organization in gaza that will view on the challenging of transferring money to that it's become a movement but it's see me and i'll be group in the course and in place, according to his lawyer. my have hannah on how to be said that he's anything. is there any forces that are said there had to be in your 2016? the baton editor, cro thing guys. he was returning from the gaza from a work meeting. well, how much had been was said on charges of unfitting humanitarian tongues embodying amounts of up to $50000000.00 to support. i've had, i mean, 6 years behind bars and underwent more done 171 heating 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 on this decision target going to humanitarian assistant to the destiny people, mohammed holla, bill. he used to walk in international and you all walking in a humanitarian issues, targeting board and marginalized groups. there is no evidence, no prove that he is guilty and he is walking to support commerce or any political faction. this decision bart of an either violation of international human rights law, abusing via roles in order to target the people at the best ones who's working in relief and the humanitarian issue, or justification that he is supporting directly or indirectly hamas movement. i think it's unique care case, but it's also

a very dangerous because maybe that will give encourage door or is there any records and there's an id additional system to carry on a, based on the secret information that they have in the brackets. so to accuse anybody who's working, getting home and their young assistant and human terrier organizations 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 with ah.
