ah, a with headlines right now, one off into national reports that nearly 20 explosions rock and notice that our city right next to europe's largest nuclear power plant. it's all coming just a day after the arrival of a u. n. nuclear inspection team. ultimately raising concerns about military clashes near the facility. the military activity operations are increasing in that part of the country. this worries me with in fact, all the show that landed right in this sense are all done. at least 3 civilians are

killed and 3 more injured from continued shelling of the don. yet city center. this is according to local city officials. also in the program has g 7 leaders discuss a price cap on russian oil, the north tree, $1.00 pipeline already suffering from a reduction of gas exports due to sanctions as now it's just a lot fits last remaining turbine, potentially exacerbating the e u energy crisis with micro chip manufacturers, stock price is planet washington, blocked to certain tech exposed to both china and russia. so i think that of a security risk with reporting around the world from moscow, with the news you need to hear. welcome to the program. it's out to you. international, we do start with the latest news from the conflict in ukraine,

we understand about 20 explosions are said to have occurred in the city of antarctica. dod, located very close to europe's largest nuclear power plant reports on the ground. se ukrainian troops was thwarted and their attempt to enter areas near the plant in those apple roger region by boat. meanwhile, a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency, currently inspecting the nuclear facility, has expressed concern about combat 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 the permanent permanent support and the monitoring that we are trying to provide now that we are there. while the head of the i. e. a said that the physical integrity of his apology, nuclear power plant,

has been breached. several times. emission arrived at the facility on a thursday, shortly after ukrainian forces had attempted to storm the site. and while the chief of the un nuclear inspection team has now returned to key of control territory, the bodies representatives will continue to stay and assess the plan. the un agency had earlier acknowledged rushes commitment to ensuring the safety of the mission at the nuclear facility. meanwhile, kia has admitted to striking the area around the separate ology nuclear plot. during his latest briefing on friday, and now to don bass, where according to local authorities, 3 civilians are being killed. 3 injured as the center of join x city came under intense attack on friday assays, roman culture ref visited the site. so i was just able to step outside of the basin because the shelling had just died down is still continuing

at the moment. i don't have my alive. there's 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 center. 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 says still very dangerous sands 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. well, i can say is that 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, so our get oh for the shelling is, is still unclear. russia has announced it cannot restart gas supplies to europe through its north stream one pipeline as it had planned to do on saturday. it is, comes off of the country's energy. john gasp, rome said a fault was found in the last remaining working turbine during a scheduled maintenance check. for the company start, the equipment must be repaired before the pipeline can resume operations. the

e u however, says nordstrom one has been shot down under fallacious pretenses are, let's get some opinion now from monte contributor is 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 discreetly importing rushing 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,

rush and gas into europe and initial shut down the line earlier the 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 a 3 days this week. and now the russian energy giant says that the pipeline can not 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 the accident, free work of the gas turbine engine. until the problem with the equipment are 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 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 rationing 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 me to be met 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 hay, their actions have consequences. as they say at you from ism the elephant in the room, i lose the fact that there is a perfectly functioning brand new pipeline ready to go, not stream to and them. this for some reason is not mentioned. it's completely being hidden. this is not discussed, but it was at the, during the trump years, the trump one wanted to block this pipeline because he was trying to sell 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 fires to, to handle it. they have to take years to the infrastructure is not ready. so, you know, they could,

if there was political will to resolve the situation. we could start not afraid to, but the americans would of course, object. and the green would object. so really we need an ideological re return effect. so the g 7 finance ministers have agreed to introduce a price cap on russian oil. the actual price is said to be a topic of future talks, the restrictions that will allow maritime transportation of russian crude oil and petroleum products only if that oil is purchased at a price at all. below the cap g 7 liter state, a move as aim to reduce rushes revenues that moscow has already worn as simply won't supply oil to any countries applying these new cap restrictions just to run and consider 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, 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. any case, there isn't any l n g capacity in the world to make up for the russian exports to, to europe, that we're 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. yeah, apparently it's all about taking sides these days at a us had urged india to join the russian oil price cap coalition. however, new delhi has yet to comment on that request. we did speak to joshua chakrabarti, an international relations expert. he says, a good luck forcing asian countries to act against their own best interests. this is said that 21st century is incense tension and the 2 largest economy of giants,

india and china is an issue. so of course, if india and china does not follow the g a, g, d 7 states, and the continuing buying oil from russia, i don't think g 7 countries can do much about it. though the blue one community should understand one thing that as a developing nation, india has a crate in on t demands. and our energy security is our national interest. so any can get any to solve it in country. so any countries usa, you gave g 7 states, they cannot pressurized india to buy or to block our like in a g demands or in a g needs. russia has like other other markets as well. g 7 countries are not the only market for russia. and if russia stop the stop exporting,

kudos to those g 7 countries, the didn't need to look for other alternatives that russia and i don't think that that would be as cheaper as they are getting right now from russian markets. so i guess it's time to turn off the lights and turn down the heating. that's the message increasingly being convey to people in europe as governments scramble to cut soaring energy barrels. a gas prices in europe have retreated only somewhat from record highs set last month. the drop followed a statement by the european commission that it was working on an emergency package to directly intervene and the energy markets. well in comparison before last year, the price had never exceeded $30.00 euros per megawatt hour. my colleague at unit o'neill, he spoke with austria's former top diplomat and got her take on the current energy crisis. i cannot imagine that the europeans 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. 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 all night, you level you've got the air foreign policy chief usa barrell. 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, that, that fall, that, that how would put it in german or, and 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 via ready to do that. that was the government set up . but all this, assuming that there will be a change in action by the russian government. so did this, this says, this is the current situation. meanwhile, a major energy for him has just wrapped up in cynical web delicates reiterate of the need to meet africa's growing energy demands and shouldn't apologize for using fossil fuels. the forum came off to some african nations expressed outrage over what they dubbed the climate injustice of the west. the egyptian foreign minister

has said that despite africa contributing less than 4 percent of global emissions, the content is severely impacted by climate change. i think that with limited financial means it is very difficult to spend the amount of money needed to transition to that of green power. speaking at the event, the head of a chamber on african energy stress, the future of african energy is that of fossil fuels. despite the west's pressure to seek alternatives, we are not backing away from our industry. i think it had been a narrative out there that says africans do not want oil anymore. i think we need more oil. we need more drilling. we need more exploration. and daddy's i, we for the oil companies and not the problem. they are part of the solution. it's not going to be a switch to just so we don't get a transition away from, from,

from there. we not the and i think the africans, we should not apologize for our oil and gas industry during these are geo economic and geopolitical times. you've got a big development from the tech world to tell you about. the u. s. has ordered a stoppage to the sale of artificial intelligence chips to both china and russia, and the order impacts 2 major american ai chip producers, and video, and a m d whose stock price is plummeted. follow the news. here's the scoop with 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 stay on the topic. for a period of time,

the us has been abusing export control measures to restrict the exports of semiconductor related items to china. we firmly opposed 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 enter in taiwan 6 to most corporation with the united states in the semiconductor and other high tech industries. will look forward to johnny produce and democracy chiefs to save god 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, as 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. the china meanwhile, has some pretty harsh words for germany over the decision to expand its military presence in the indo pacific. according to beijing, officials of the german military, its presence in the region brings into question its true intentions. this will probably lead to some bad memories and associations in many countries in the world . we firmly oppose any countries use of freedom of navigation as an excuse to undermine china sovereignty harm china security, an attack and smear china. china was responding to the german defense chief announcement. he said that a stronger military presence is needed in order to quote, check, china's enormous build off of armed forces. the pledge of additional military assets from berlin comes off the last year when its 1st war ship in 2 decades sailed directly into the south china sea. germany is also participating in

a joint operation with australia deploying philistine military aircraft. mocking the air force is largest piece time deployment. and according to the senior lecturer at the university of bar pac, not one of berlin is trying to play the safe bet in a changing world because of the war in the ukraine. germany is being exposed to her on their ability to energy dependency over russia. and because china is pro russia and we're trying to position, it makes germany increasingly aware that these going to impact upon china, germany relations. the situation in east asia is also changing the wizard by nancy pelosi to taiwan. he's making an

escalation of the pensions across the script. he comes to the conclusion of early in that they believe now perhaps to increase the military as security engagement with the pacific region. extra food allies of the us led coalition will be as safe a bad thousands of demonstrators of gathered and central one as auto softer. a gunman apparently tried to assassinate argentina's controversy stricken vice president, christina kutner raleigh participants held up signs in a show of support for her. she has been recently struggling with a raft of corruption chargers that could ultimately land behind bars. as the porters maintained, the corruption allegations are old politically motivated. as the south american country grapples with extreme political polarization and crippled economy is off. the spanish correspond ignacio to be when it be, as i said,

it's getting cold. and when us aries potentially at the closet, the mile or heart, as people continue to gather, demonstrating that unity of people and their support of christina kurtz. now, it must be said that a large rally was already expected in support of kerchief, because of the court case in which he was accused of corruption. the case has seen internal political conflict intensify and incitement of hate against the former head of the country. unfortunately, this turns into an assassination attempt. let's hear what the people in the streets are saying about the incident. no way i came to show support for christina, after all that's been done to her for years. christina, is the embodiment of love, love to the nation. yesterday's attack is too much and everyone has come here to support her. that since i see on the, in fact, it seems to me that i've been targeted. that in which i'm not on the blow to her, much all the people a blow democracy and will at that 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 kirshner and 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. he can't endow what's happened was very serious, more serious than anything has happened since we returned to democracy. $1.08 that we're following the investigation closely with a judge, maria, cap of 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 president fernandez has asked the judge to ensure that nothing happens to the life of kirk enters attacker in order to establish the reasons for what happened and prevent a repetition of such events. so noises has had, i mean, really say that would be assassin is a 35 year old brazilian man with ties to extremist groups. a long time,

former president of argentina's neighbor bolivia, evil morales commented on the incident even even went as far as to alleged that external forces could be to blame, develop a douglas last week. we were informed that legal proceedings were initiated. below, the prosecutor had requested 12 years in prison and i assume that the united states as desperate owes with here the leftist parties are increasingly winning elections . the u. s. can no longer stop us. they can no longer stop this democratic uprising of the peoples of latin america said now they resort to such attacks. we all support christina, christina de kirchner as not alone. while details into the assassination attempt continue to emerge, a latin america expert walter for mento believes as an example of history repeating itself. me see the on, 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 feeling the war and dragging the country deeper into the vietnam war. i see the need to draw this parallel as vice president kirschner is able to foster peace, democracy, employment, and integrity in the global economy without harming the national sovereignty. for politics challenge those financial leads which aim to impose their own terms. his assassination attempt should not be perceived as a random act committed by sick man. as was to talk after kennedy's killing. we should examine this case as it is the only way to avert similar political assassinations in the future. all right, or some other headlines for you in brief as a violence classes are broken out in a northern part of the west bank between local palestinians and israelis. authorities, demonstrators were filmed throwing stones at his ready forces. thousands of

protesters waving palestinian flags marched against the expropriation of their land by israeli settlers. in nigeria, a 2nd person has been found dead off for a multi story building collapse earlier this week. at a market in the north western city of cono report that numerous people remain trapped in the rebels. a local said they thought the structure would actually collapse rather soon, and they cried. a lack of preventative measures over to europe now, scorching summer temperatures have been wreaking havoc in the south. the continent have a look right here. this is actually italy's lake per suga. on the island of sicily, i was, i was have gotten so low in recent months, locals now say it's possible to walk across it by foot. well, thanks for joining us. your naughty international for your latest world wide. these headlines, great to have your company with us today. we are back soon with more. ah

ah. a

year. in spring 2022, europe began closing forced to russian vessels one after another. they sanctions package bombs, russian flag vessels from entering you ports. belgium bo garalie sweeney. a romania lee announced that there would be close to russian ships, russian vessels, karen gas or oil, coal company. and i ran or are not covered by a similar decision, was taken by canada later by the united states. ah, siberia is a very young nuclear.
