we look for common ground with the top headlights right now. here were nasty international reports that nearly 20 explosions, rock and nautica out of city. right next to europe, the largest nuclear power plant toll coming just a day after the arrival of a un nuclear inspection team, ultimately raising concerns about military clashes near that plot. the military activity, an operations are increasing in that part of the country. and this was me and this is the impact on the show that landed right in this sense are old gun,

etc. at least 3 civilians are killed. 3 injured from continued shelling of a gun at city center. this is according to local city official. also in the program as a g 7 leaders discuss a price cap on russian oil. the north stream, one gas pipeline, already suffering from a reduction of exports due to sanctions, has now just lost its last remaining turbine, potentially exacerbating the energy crisis and the e. u. micro chip manufacturers, stock price as plummet as washington blocks, certain tech exports, china, and russia. so i think that of a security risk with it's good to have your company on this saturday and a busy program line up for you here. we're not you international. welcome to it. we

do start with the latest news from the conflict in ukraine, as we understand about 20 explosions are said to have occurred in the city of antarctica data. that is located next to europe's largest nuclear power plant reports coming in. se ukrainian troops have been thwarted in an attempt to enter areas right around the plot. hadn't zappa ology by boat. russian defense ministry has not yet commented on these claims. meanwhile, a team of experts from the international atomic energy agency inspecting the nuclear facility has expressed concern about combat operations in the vicinity. the o 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 the situation 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 of

a head of the i. e. a said that the physical integrity of his apology, nuclear power plant, has been breached several times. the mission arrived at the plant on thursday, shortly after ukrainian forces had attempted to storm the site. and while the chief of the u. s. nuclear inspection team has now returned to key of control territory, the bodies representatives will continue to stay and assess the nuclear facility. now the you and agency had earlier acknowledged to russia's commitment to ensuring the safety of the mission at the plant. meanwhile, kiev admitted to strikingly area around the separate audrey facility during its latest briefing on friday right now to don bass, where according to local authorities, 3 civilians killed 3 injured as the center of john x city came on to intense attack . on friday, a correspondent at the scene is roman customer. 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 on the shoulder landed right in this center. all done next. 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,

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 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. oh, for the shelling is still unclear. russia has announced it cannot restart gas supplies to europe through its gnawed stream one pipeline as it planned to do one saturday. this comes off to the countries energy giant gas from set of fault was found in the last remaining walking turbine during

a shuttle maintenance track. the company said the equipment must be repaired before the pipeline can resume operations. the e u, however says no stream one has been shut down under fallacious pretenses. well, let's get some opinion right now. his art contributor rachel mazda. 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, rush and 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 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 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 accident free work of the gas turbine engine. until the problems 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 lane 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 this situation. we could start north frame 2, 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 set to be a topic of future discussions. 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. she's been say, didn't believe of the g 7 say that the movers aim to reduce rushes revenues. though moscow has already well worn that, well, it simply won't supply oil to any countries applying the 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 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 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. 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. so the u. s. had urged india to join the russian oil price cup coalition. however, new delhi has yet to comment on the request. we did speak to josh, he chucking a boat to an international relations expert who says, good luck, forcing asian countries to act against their own best interests. this is said that

21st century is asia and center and the 2 largest economy of china, india and china is an issue. so of course, if india and china does not follow the g instead g d 7 states, and they're continuing buying oil from russia. i don't think g 7 countries can do much about it, though the glue one community should understand one thing that as a developing nation, india has a crate in on demands and our energy security is our national interest. so any kind of, you know, and it's a solvent 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 on the,

on the market for russia. and if russia stop stop exporting kudos to those g 7 countries, the need to look for other alternatives. russia. and i don't think that that would be as cheaper as they're getting right now from russian markets. so i guess you're going to have to turn off the lights and turn down the heat. if you're on the e. u, that is the message increasingly being convey to people in europe as government scramble to cut soaring energy barrels of gas prices in europe have retreated somewhat from record highs set last month. now this little drop followed by a statement that is by the euro. european commission, i should say that it was working on an emergency package. shoot directly, intervene and energy markets comparison before last year. the price had never exceeded $30.00 euro's per megawatt hour. my colleague as a unit o'neill he spoke earlier with austria's former top debra latin, got her take on this energy crisis. i cannot imagine that the europeans are going

to do what they are currently doing because the stakes are so 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, a indiana, you are accountable towards your electorate. so this will have to be decided by the german electorate, but the overall issue on the, on the 8 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 reduce particular sanctions introduced? it was to coerce the russian government into

a 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 the hurting and people sat in the beginning. yes, we are going to take that pain the are 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, does says this is the car situation. meanwhile, a major energy for him has wrapped up in senegal. my delegates reiterated. there is just one way to meet africa, is growing energy to bonds and well, they shouldn't have to apologize for relying on fossil fuels. the forum came off to

some african nations expressed outrage of what they dug, the climate injustice of the west egyptian foreign minister has said that despite africa contributing to less than 4 percent of global emissions, the continent is impacted by climate change. adding that with limited financial means it's very difficult to spend the amount of money needed to transition to green power. speaking at the event, the head of the chamber of africa, energy stressed, the future of african energy is that of fossil fuels. despite pressure from western partners to seek alternatives, we are not backing away from our industry. i think it had been in 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 are not to problem the optimal solutions. 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 africans, we should not apologize for our oil and gas industry. it may not sound like much, but it's a big move in the world of technology. the u. s. has ordered a stoppage of a 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. following the news, perhaps russia and china will continue to get his chips from taiwan. or for the meantime, let's pick up the story with 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 de la, for a period of time. the us has been abusing export control measures to restrict the exports of semiconductor related items to china with family oppose this. meanwhile, the president on taiwan is coming board and saying that they are looking forward to producing what they're calling democracy ships in coordination with united states to you and to taiwan. 6 to bolster cooperation with the united states in the semiconductor and other high tech industries. look forward to johnny produce and democracy chiefs to save gold, 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 has

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. all china, meanwhile, has some pretty harsh words over germany's decision to expand its military presence in the indo pacific. suspecting that berlin's intentions could actually be that you are well to undermine china's national security. 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's security. an attack and smear china. china was responding to the german defense chiefs announcement who said that a stronger military presence is needed in order to check china's quote. enormous build up of armed forces. the pledge of additional military assets from berlin

comes off the last year when it's 1st war ship in 2 decades, sailed directly through the south china sea. a germany is also participating in a joint operation. now with strayer deploying 13 military aircraft, ultimately marking the air force is largest piece time deployment. and according to the senior lecturer at the university of bath 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 our b, u. t to energy dependency over russia. and because china is pro russia and we're trying to position it makes germany increasingly aware that ace, these going to impact upon china, germany relations. the situation is asia is also changing

the wizard by nancy pelosi to taiwan, ease mc ting. an escalation of the tensions across the script, he comes to the conclusion of burly in that they believe. now perhaps to increase this military as a cruelty engagement with the in the pacific region. excellent had for the allies of the us, led coalition will be a safe bet. thousands of demonstrators of gathering central bernardez offer. a gunman apparently tried to assassinate argentina's controversy stricken vice president. christina the coach. now. i rally participants held up signs in a show of support for her. she has though, been recently struggling with a raft of corruption chargers that could land are in prison for more than a decade. a support has maintained their corruption allegations are all politically motivated. as

a south american country grapples with extreme political polarization and the crippled economy is artie spanish correspondent ignacio. you'll be yeah. when abuse has that, if it's getting cold and when a series, but tensions at the plaza, de mayo are 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 kirschner, because of the court case in which he was accused of corruption. the case is seen, internal political conflict intensify an 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. 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 everyone has come here to support her. okay. is that since asked you on

the i in fact, it seems to me that i've been targeted that image on not only a blow to her my, to all the people, a bloated image. it will not 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. it had endow what's happened was very serious, more serious than anything has happened since we returned to democracy. davos a that we're following the investigation closely with judge maria kappa. chevy 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 hernandez 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. so noisy has enemy police say that would be assassin, is a 35 year old brazilian man with a ties to extremist groups, a long time, a former president of ocean argentine as a neighbor that of bolivia, even morales commented on the incident. and even went as far as to alleged that external forces could be to blame a similar, bizarre go there. 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 desperately 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. so now they resort to such attacks. we all support christina, christina de kirchner as not alone. and while details into the assassination attempt continue to emerge, a latin america expert walter ferment so believes it's an example of history,

repeating itself. this is she the are, 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 kirschner is able to foster piece democracy, employment, and integrity in the global economy without harming national sovereignty. for 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. or in brief, less gives them other world headlines for you here on our to international. as we understand violence clash has been breaking out in a, a northern part of the west bank between local palestinians and israelis. authorities, demonstrators were filmed throwing stones at his ready forces as dozens of protesters waving palestinian flags, marched against the expropriation of their land. the by israeli settlers to nigeria, where 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 quino report said numerous people remain trapped in the rubble. a local said, they thought the structure would actually collapse soon, and they decried a lack of preventative measures and over to europe, where scorching summer temperatures are just wreaking havoc in the south of the continent, have a look at this. that is italy's lake, part of suca on the island of sicily,

at water levels have become so low in recent months. local say it's now possible to walk across the lake by foot. i. that's it for now here we're naughty international. thank you so much for spending some of your time with us here in moscow. we report from all around the world or your latest breaking weld headlines. thanks for joining us. we'll be backs. ah, ah.

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race is on offense. very dramatic development. only personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk ah russia is the gross no injury much about we have any quality for.
