another good are located next to europe's largest nuclear power plant reports on the grounds, the ukrainian troops was thwarted in their attempt to enter areas near the plant in the upper audi region by boat. meanwhile, a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency, a currently inspecting the nuclear facility, has express concerns about operations in the vicinity. the military activity and operations are increasing. in that part of the country and these worries me a lot we believe. and i continue to believe that this vision is extremely complex, extremely challenging. and it will continue to require to permanent the permanent support and the monitoring that we are trying to provide. now that we are there, now the head of the i. e, a set of a physical integrity, all of those apples, your nuclear power plant has been breached several times at the mission arrived at
10:03 pm
the facility on 1st a shortly after ukrainian forces had attempted to storm the site. and while the chief of the new and nuclear inspection team has now returned to a key of control territory, the bodies reps will continue to stay and assess. the plan that you an agency had earlier, acknowledged rushes commitment to ensuring the safety of the mission at the plant. meanwhile, he has admitted to striking the area around us up at all she facility during the latest briefing on friday. the system right now to don bass, where according to local officials, 3 civilians are being killed and 3 injured as the center of the next city came under intense attack on friday. these were man cause a ref, visited the site. so i was just able to step outside of the basin because the shelling or just died down is still containing at the moment . i don't have my alive for me right now because i was simply having dinner in the
10:04 pm
theater district. this is the center of the city of dennis. this is the impact of the show that landed right in the center. all done next. it's certainly a very high caliber weapon in 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.
10:05 pm
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's our get o for the shelling is still unclear. russia has announced it cannot restart gas supplies to europe through its north street one pipeline as it had planned to do on saturday. as comes off of the country's energy, john gas from said that a fault was found in the last remaining working turbine. during a shed your maintenance track, the company said the equipment must be repaid before the pipeline can resume operations. the e u however, says nordstrom one has been shot down on the fallacious pretences,
10:06 pm
let's get some opinion now from monte contributor rachel marston. 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 discrete, we 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 as long transported rushing gas into europe and initial shut down of the line. earlier this summer was related to german turbines,
10:07 pm
repaired and stuck in canada. the west's own anti russian sanctions block 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, the malfunction that was found doesn't allow for the safe and accident free work of the gas turbine engine. until the provost with the equipment i resolved, the transports of gas into the no 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
10:08 pm
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 leon says that the 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 meet 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,
10:09 pm
their actions have consequences. well, as we just heard, the g 7 finance ministers have agreed to introduce a price cap on russian oil. the actual price is set to be a topic of future talks. now the restrictions will allow maritime transportation of russian crude oil and petroleum products only if that oil is purchased at a price at or below the cap. g 7 later say the move is aim to reduce rushes, revenues, and moscow has already worn. it simply won't supply oil to any countries 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. we simply will not interact with them in terms of oil on such non market conditions. our oil will go to other markets to those countries that are ready to act according to market conditions. a response from moscow is pretty straightforward. if you're part of the agreement, then that cit,
10:10 pm
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 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,
10:11 pm
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. any case, there isn't any l n g capacity in 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,
10:12 pm
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. all right, let's take this discussion a bit further here. what are you into national with a political analyst, alessandra bruno joining us live, great to see you this evening. thanks for coming on the program. you just heard the report. a g 7 lead to discussing a allowing russian oil on various markets, but only if they can cap and dictate the selling price. meantime, moscow says if you want to do that, you won't get any russian oil. some that is the idea of a price gap going to benefit the every day you taxpayer that's already entrenched and then energy crisis. no, but unfortunately i don't think the you leaders are thinking about you citizens at all in this mess because if they were, i don't think there would be
10:13 pm
a war in ukraine in the 1st place. because the whole reasoning behind this war has nothing to do with you, citizens or, or politics. it has much to do with nato's arrogance. it would have just taken one little sentence, know, nato, you know, in ukraine to stop it. and instead, we have a number of energy situations apart from the price gap and russian oil and russian oil is not the biggest import in russia is not the biggest source of oil in europe. it does allow for lowering prices because it's very important secondary source. but after the the, the arab spring spring in quotation marks,
10:14 pm
which gave us such wonderful results as libya, once the main supplier of oil to mediterranean europe. so. busy russian oil allows europe to compensate for some of those losses. but then we have the gas situation. overall economic situation. following from coven, i think that the real plan here is it. it's difficult to convince people of this, but there is a, a kind of green dictatorship or green at the ology that's coming. it's not surprising to me that the most belligerent ministers in germany pushing for sanctions against russia and not just sanctions, but lloyd's of discussions of negotiation of talks of some kind are the greens they and they have power. no. in fact, the main alina brought back,
10:15 pm
who is the foreign minister in germany, is of the green party. in some ways, they are almost, i can see, in the logical terms, rejoicing at this situation. they were going to take news. it's going to take years . analysts have said, regardless of the green agenda, it's going to take years to get away from fossil fuel. so very far, as you mentioned, back from germany is foreign minister. i mean, it's almost like a pipe dream to some of these politicians. i think it's going to extend that political shelf life perhaps, but it's common sense. it's going to take years to win off fossil fuels. i wanted to ask you, alexandra, i spoke to some, some old friends in the u. k. today they said some of them said their, their electricity and gas bills, which typically are combined when they pay them some of tripled, some of quadrupled in price. and these people were decent jobs that telling me they can afford their homes now because of their energy bills. what do you make of that? well, i would pick that up too with liz truss. who wants to increase?
10:16 pm
this is the, the tensions even further. now that they have a new prime minister to consider, and you mentioned your friends, but you know, that's an interesting case in germany. i was just reading some news yesterday. apparently, germans are now going to house clubs to jim's and so on. mostly to use the showers because that way they don't have to use the hot water at home. so have clubs in germany are among the biggest economic groups, the business business groups, demanding help from the government. because the fees with tomorrow morning. hello government. alexandra, sort of jump in demonte help from the government at a time. you know, russian gas, russian gas, for example, is the back bone of the european economy. it's the backbone of a european economy. it's the backbone of german industry, which is the backbone of the euro. we are pretty economy so you know, all of the things that heavily intertwined nord stream one now is shut down
10:17 pm
indefinitely. they're saying that they found an oil leak. the last remaining turbine is, is having issues. and that comes at a time of g. 7. lead is discussing an oil price cap. it doesn't seem that the winter is going to be particularly warm. no, no the the, as they say at the you from ism, the elephant in the room is the fact that there is a perfectly functioning brand new pipeline ready to go north stream too. and this for some reason is not mentioned. it's completely being hidden. this is not discussed, but it was up to during the top years, the trump $11.00 to $2.00 block this pipeline because he was trying to so liquefied natural gas to europe, which of course they've tried to to get but it's very complicated. they don't have the gas to as to who handle it the they have to build it. that takes years to the
10:18 pm
infrastructure is not ready. so you know, they could, if there were political will to resolve the situation. we could start northridge to, but the americans would of course, object and the greens would object. so really, we need an ideological re perhaps we need politicians are thinking the best interest of the, of the taxpayers on joy of the people. indeed, because that's supposed to be their job alessandro, i've got 20 seconds left here, and i just wanted to ask you that well, at the end of the day, are we going to see some sort of useful resolution to all of this, or your expectations that gea politicking is just going to continue into what will be a frigid winter. 20 seconds please. so far i don't see any political will in the west to resolve this situation. that's and we have elections in italy coming up. i'm
10:19 pm
curious to see what will happen there. who is going to be in power, because maybe those people coming in might be more reasonable and that might start a breach. because italy is always being one of the, the weak points of any european sanctions in situ, against russia. but this time, they managed to get in and a few others in the on board as well. so september 25th or those election. that's a key moment to look for that the only hope i have is that some change will come from there. otherwise, the somehow idea logically speaking, this situation plays into the hands of some of the new forces that are acting ideologically rather than in support of the people's interest right now. and you're not a charity optimistic officer though, but a fascinating insight amount of sandra bruno political analyst joining us live. thank you very much. we appreciate that. thank you. well, turn off the lights,
10:20 pm
turn down the heat. that's the message increasingly being conveyed to people in europe as a government scramble to cut soaring energy bills. now, gas prices in europe have gone down a little from record high set last month. the drop followed a statement by the european commission that it was a working on an emergency package to directly intervene in energy markets and the comparison before last year. the price had never exceeded $30.00 euros per megawatt hour. my colleague, unit o'neill spoke with austria, former top diploma and got her take on the current energy crisis. i cannot imagine that your opinions are going to do what they are currently doing because the stakes hustle 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 that we have seen an irrational behavior long before february 24th. ah, indiana,
10:21 pm
you are accountable towards your electorate. so this will have to be decided by the german electorate. but the overall issue on, on lay 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're break it down to the very simple point of departure? when do you introduce sanction? so why, why did particular sanctions introduce it was to coerce the russian government into it change of behavior. so 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 that, that felt that, that how would put it in german or,
10:22 pm
and that to rule back no would look foolish that this is one writing. of course you see now they're hurting, and people sat in the beginning. yes, we are going to take that pain, the a 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, does this is, this is the current situation. thousands of demonstrators have gathered in central bernardez after a gunman, apparently tried to assassinate argentina's controversy stricken vice president. christina, the coach not arrive participants held up signs in a show of support for dakota, who has recently been struggling with a raft of corruption charges, could land her behind bars as a voters maintain the allegations, were all politically motivated as the south american country grapples with extreme political polarization and a crippling economy. artie spanish correspondent,
10:23 pm
ignacio, you beer. as this story. when a b as, as that it is getting cold in buenos aires, but tensions at the plaza de mayo, or hot as people continue to gather, demonstrating the unity of people and their support of christina kirschner. it must be said that a large rally was already expected. in support of kirshner, because of the court case in which he was accused of corruption. the case has seen internal political conflict intensify an incitement of hate against the former head of the country. unfortunately, this turned into an assassination attempt. let's hear what the people in the streets are saying about the incident. yeah, no way they need it. i came to show support for christina. after all that's been done to her for years, christine is the embodiment of love love for the nation. yesterday's attack is too much and every one has come here to support her. is that his asked you andrea? in fact, it seems to me that i have been targeted, that it would not only blow to her my to all the people, a blow to democracy,
10:24 pm
will not back a number of politicians have already been able to visit kirschner, for example, the governor of the province of buenos aires alex kissell off a man very close to christina kirschner. he said she was doing very well despite yesterday's events. but the governor also said that what happened was not just about one person and should be assessed in the context of hate speech that has long existed in argentina. the countries president alberto fernandez, called the situation very serious. it had endow what's happened was very serious, more serious than anything has happened since we returned to democracy dollars a that we're following the investigation closely with judge maria, coupled chatty, issued several search warrants for the residence of the brazilian man who attempted to take the life of the vice president, it should be stressed that present fernandez has asked the judge to ensure that nothing happens to the life of kirk sinners attacker in order to establish the reasons for what happened and prevent a repetition of such events, noises. how can i mean, the police say that would be assassin, is reportedly
10:25 pm
a 35 year old brazilian man and is said to up ties to extremist groups. all details in the assassination. the attend continue to emerge at walter for the men. so a specialist on latin america, where he believes history repeats, if he didn't believe it, she the, or, and we believe this assassination attempt resembles kennedy's in 1963. it 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 fueling the war and dragging the country deeper into the vietnam war. i see the need to draw this parallel. as vice president kirshner is able to foster peace, democracy, employment, and integrity in the global economy without harming national sovereignty for politics challenge those financial leads which aimed to impose their own terms. this assassination attempt should not be perceived as
10:26 pm
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. wasn't pretty hefty developments in the tech world. as the u. s. has ordered a stoppage to the sale of artificial intelligence chips to china and russia. the order impacts 2 major american ai chip producers are nvidia and a. m d, who is the stock prices plummeted following the news is our correspondent caleb martin. 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 yesterday. for
10:27 pm
a period of time, the us has been abusing export control measures to restrict the exports of semi conductor related items to 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 the united states to you and hand to 16 to most corporation would be noticed states in the semiconductor. and now the high tech industries will look forward to johnny produce and democracy chiefs to save the interest of all democratic partners and create greater prosperity. so 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
10:28 pm
is moving ahead with trying to prevent china from having access to certain computer ship technologies. as far as turning into a pretty program for you here on the international coming to you live from moscow. now of what nearly half past 5 in the morning get really great to have your company . we will be back soon with more of your news. the news. the news in spring 2022. europe began closing forced to russian vessels, one after another. the sanctions package, bonds, russian flags, vassals from entering you. port belgium, bulgaria,

10:30 pm
so i'm looking to see who it is put up. i'm almost consistent. it'll do no pressure to cheat us. but if someone would only but she was moved along. of course, going to what she was probably ask you about order a lunch for family are about to show up until the letter from chicago, virginia you much can with with the keys we 1st met maxine, 9 years ago when he was forced, made on the time meal icebreaker. he's now the 1st made aboard siberia, a trip, which was a what you say bullshit, which is this freakish farmers 70 me and there's just more but it was, it was 3 year which some of them deal.
