wants to do this with the whole way. we need to make rules for the rest. because without us, there will be, can do a headlights on auto international russia order of regrouping or, but forces from the northern front lines and ukraine in order to reinforce its true summit intense shutting the door at region. also with the stories are shaped the way karen are t international with sitting a price cap on a russian resources is an absolutely stupid idea. is political decisions are made and they go against contract, then we will simply not fulfill them. we will not supply anything if it's against our interest is the russian president vladimir putin slamming the decision of g 7. countries to put a price cap on russian fuel imports. ultimately event of the day blaming weston. it

leaks for the current global energy crisis in thousands of pakistan is again hitting the streets and supportive, alistair prime minister in ron con, it's this that he calls for the country to get ready to change its future destiny. and queen elizabeth the 2nd, the u. k. is longest ruling one on died the age of 9670 year range spanning britain's grand colonial era to the much different role that it now has on that have the world. ah, well, it's a pleasure to have you with us for this was addition of the weekly as we're running down the top stories over the weekend. the main headline. so today we do begin now with the very latest developments from the conflict in ukraine this weekend as russia analysis transferred troops and equipment from the hardcore regent. that don

bass of the last 3 days of kia says it has evolved in the northern part of the region and re taken the territory left behind by russian for international the map showing the most recent changes on the battlefield. russian forces what redeployed away from the area that you can see in the southeast region. you can see the former conflict line, which saw intense battles with ukrainian troops engaged in a big counter offensive. the russian defense ministry says, are these troops have now been moved to the south to reinforce operations in a don yet the region? it also just added that ukrainian forces continue to suffer very heavy losses on 2 fronts of its counter offensive. was like a russian air and rocket forces and artillery units are carrying out precision, strikes against regular army and reserve units of the ukrainian military forces. in the car of a nikolai ever clear sky regions in total, over $4000.00 troops of the camera,

james had been killed and over $8000.00 injured on these to france, between september, 6th and 10th. april. all right, handing it over now to our senior correspondent, but i got the remaining imbedded with russian forces on the southern front. he sent us this report from the ukrainian a region of hudson. well i here in sarasota, for example, the russian ministry of defense has proclaimed huge casualties for ukrainian forces which have beaten the attack here in southern region in the south of ukraine bordering the black sea. we're talking about thousands, thousands of thousands of troops killed during repeated attempts to assault russia . the hell towns here very little of strategic or indeed tactical value was achieved here by ukrainian forces on across the fraud blood. several villages take it a half dozen small settlements, but that's it for the loss of huge amounts of men, manpower,

and materials which includes vehicles, a don supplied by western countries as for athletic of region, their ukrainian forces have experienced much more success than on the he had a son fraud there, they have taken dozens and dozens of villages off to russian forces, elected to withdraw, to reposition across the aust called river to the other side and to build new fortifications, new defensive lines there. the russian side says that these special operation here, ukraine, is being re formatted that motion forces are being re deployed for a different strategy in the dawn bass. however, there has been more success for the wagner private military company as well as that yet people's republic forces look god's people's republic forces, which keep pushing across the front lights in the dawn bass to free as they take to

liberate the than yet people's republic which remains a central priority. meanwhile, this week, all eyes have in on the developments of the nuclear power plant and as upper orders region, which has been under russian control since early march. the managing company says the facility was shut down overnight and made constant shuttling earlier in the nearby city of antarctica, of which is also being targeted. the authorities reported a drones strike on an administrative building, reportedly carried out by ukrainian troops. the drone using the attack is said to have been carrying an improvised explosive device, which as we understand, blew up on the roof of the facility. this week, the humana secretary general demanded that russian and ukrainian forces agree on a demilitarized zone to ensure the safety of the embattled nuclear plug is flea came off, the i a e, a release is report following our recent visit by inspectors to the site. however,

the nuclear watchdog refused to attribute blame for the shelling, even though the shells have been found with, well, nato serial numbers on them. the watched old again refused to attribute blame for any attacks on the plant. instead, i guess you could say, agreeing to remain that of neutral the i e, a safety standards and nuclear security guidance, establish the principles, requirements and recommendations for nuclear safety and security that are to be applied to protect people in the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation, the i. e, a safety standards and nuclear security guidance outlines the next steps, including the urgent establishment of a nuclear safety and security protection zone. was with perhaps if the document was devoted exclusively to the results of your treat to this approach in nuclear power plant, your conclusions could be clearer and more unambiguous. we regret so that in your report of the implementation of international atomic energy agency safeguards in

ukraine for the period from april to september of this year. the source of the shell is not directly indicated to jim. okay, in the rain, while the city of i ask is saying shutting on a daily basis, a centrally destroying infrastructure, including water and gas mains just before the weekend, winter season kicks off. so reporting from the city eighty's roman culture ref. this is just one of many a residential buildings here in da next. that was damaged by ukrainian artillery. that 155 millimeter caliber shell landed right here, right next to the building. by the way, this is, and they to caliber shell that ukrainian nationalists have been using against civilians here in the next. now the damage is not only to residential building, said the next hasn't had any running water in a long time. that's because ukrainian nationalists are also saw are getting water pumping stations. they're targeting gas pipelines and electricity lines as well. so

the people here are truly suffering, not because they're being shelled on a daily basis by ukrainian nationalists, but also because they don't have any basic necessities such as electricity, water, or gas. was it a vocal or to walk the explosion was in this room near this window. so i had a child sleeping here while i was in another room w, i saw the flames from the corner show. i ran into the room to check if the he was alive. you know, there was heavy shelling during the summer fall, the housing was destroyed. a team from moscow came to us, helped to restore the buildings convolution citizens is hooking me to that. i. servicemen of the russian investigative committee inspected the incident during the inspection, striking elements were found examples, presumably from nato. the source of the explosives are to be found out after an analysis. over the last 24 hours, 6 people were killed and at least 11 were wounded by ukrainian

artillery. shelley here in the city of done that scans of those numbers are constantly changing and continued to mount. as a shelling of the city continues, as we speak once again, we find ourselves back at the hospital. we're being hunt come in here on a daily basis in order to speak to the people who were wounded by ukrainian nationalist. right now there are 6 wounded in this hospital alone. unfortunately, we cannot speak to them right now because doctors here are still fighting for their lives from on. call for have arti, though? nest people's republic. oh, it's good to have your company for this edition of the weekly let's talk. energy is, according to a recent report from the telegraph, the plan for an oil price cap has been sidelined at some government's concern. the russian president may cut europe off entirely from russian gas. it comes off to the

russian leader slammed the g seven's proposal to apply a price cap on moscow's energy exports. with the current situation on european markets is a direct result of the work of the commission and their so called experts we warned them against doing so, but no, they basically coerced us to link our gas sales to the spot market. we were not the ones who watched this, this was forced upon us. everything will come back just like a movie. film sitting a price cap on russian resources is an absolutely stupid idea. if someone tries to implement this, so it will not lead to anything good for those who make this decision is political decisions are made and they go and cancel the contract, and we will simply not fulfill them and they will not supply anything if it's against our interests, you know, gas or oil, no call no food at all, but we will fully comply with our contract obligations,

particularly earlier this month. the group of g 7 countries devise a plan to implement a maximum price to be paid for russian oil and its derivatives. this idea is designed to reduce the kremlin ability to fund the conflict in ukraine without further stoking that of global inflation. of the cap on crude oil prices is to be applied starting december the 5th. and on february, the 5th 2024, for the refined products. again, the russian president hit the back of the proposal saying that g 7 countries are only shooting themselves in the foot. the jolina western, the leads to make reckless decisions that contradict the interests of their country's peoples and their own citizens. the quality of life when people in the u . s. is being fed to the fires of sanction except for the sacrifice for the sake of preserving a u. s. dictatorship. this situation has been brought about by the reckless moves of the u. s. and in the u. k. and the lou who are obsessed with illusionary

political ideas up with and they pushed their own citizens and people outside the so called golden billy and the beliefs into the background. your. this will inevitably lead western countries to a dead end of economic and social crisis. and it will create unpredictable consequences for the whole world. well, he said i'm predictable. consequences that's already boiling over the energy situation with the block of the european union. mass protests erupting in. many states as citizens blamed their governments for the economic fall out from the western sanctions against russia. that's coming to the check. prime minister claim that russian propaganda and disinformation campaigns were behind. all of these protests and demonstrations. austrian citizens were among the latest, a voice that concerned the thousands. riley didn't vienna to protest. soaring energy prices and inflation. the protesters also demanded the lifting of anti russia sanctions. and the launching the north stream to gas pipeline, which is of,

i'm sure, you know, remains in limbo. following of course western sanction activists on social media claim. the protest was not nearly covered enough by the european main stream media . now, in addition to the outrage of austria, germany, the czech republic and other countries, citizens now and from sir, also protesting the skyrocketing inflation. the yellow vast movements landing into the streets of paris. they were seen and setting bins on fire and vandalizing certain bits of infrastructure. as we understand here with our team to national several of those people were over. leipzig and lin, i've seen the 1st round or planned monday protest against soaring energy bill to organize get this by the germany's left party. so we hit the streets and spoke with some of the protesters that this early event metallic. i thought it would be good for us if not stream one and 2 opened even during the cold were supplies with guess

. but not at the moment. at the end of the day have to realize that this is what they actually wanted. and now they're complaining that this is how teas peak show your has long been in preparation with the whole eastward expansion of nato's that has been forced on the russians north stream to should start operating. the energy policy is completely wrong. why are we fighting each other? this is total nonsense following, but i think we all ones high think to leave nato. that is my motivation. then i actually thought today we should see union. what's would do we see instead we spoke earlier with a mock humphrey jenna, an associate professor of finance in australia. he says that the west oil price cap plan for russia is unlikely to work as $2.00 of the biggest players on the global block. india and china and not on board with a g 7 countries, despite ongoing pressure for them to join this western anti russia coalition.

europe's going to have some significant issues going into winter. so european gas prices in general, terms of being increased with energy prices more generally have potential in skyrocketing in many countries. there are multiple different proposals to leave energy price concerns. they're not all necessarily going to actually achieve the purpose of relieving the concerns we're facing over the a you definitely does have a problem on its hands. many the european union countries. the isn't a consensus about even imposing a price cap, so hungry and austrian, so vakio i very much against a gas price cap and an oil price cap. while that appears to have slightly broader support is not entirely clear how that would work. so the g 7 might want that china and india aren't on board, and it is even clear that would be effective. so there has been quite a bit of volatility. and in part this volatility is due to what's happening, the c b. it isn't really as volatile as one would initially feed,

given the lack of belief that it would really be that effective ah, shifting gears, not a pakistan with thousands of people, hit the streets and support of a former prime minister in ron con. he's a currently facing contempt of court charges. now, despite his statement that he will accept any decision of the court con, gave a very fiery speech calling on his fellow countrymen to rally behind him. oh, i'm announcing to all my party members in the country. get ready because there will be my final call which will change the destiny of our country. i have seen all pakistan. these are ready for that final protest call. are you good, you're in walla. no. august on has been in a state of political type balloons for months. now. as the prime minister was removed from power through a vote of no confidence in parliament, a wrong con claims america was involved in that power of regime change. the thousands of pakistan has continued to support him,

as evidenced by demonstrations across the country. one local correspondent brought us these details from cons. latest speech i primed to study mom, i had just missed a cross country, and he's there finally decided to mobilize masses had the gospel level and it was park is found to bring that to the government. at least a name is on. 7 me any me there then x as in the gun b. b as compared is a honda me, his performers in the garment? when the god forbid, i said the odd price is a sunday, sunday is going on. diaz mentioned presently, the audio which says that foggy spawn is following the footsteps off to study like

a garbage to bug is going the light on the plan with this important garmin because he said, you will be responsive when his focus on friends in fog sunday. why his son is that because, or a lot, i guess tom hodges and these are 10 employees. i b, b, i with wireless all at once and had a medical recording said his id was, did i did okay with james did. why this is because we didn't know before, we thought that the american block was in our favor. but afterwards it in russia,

in ron explained to us that russia is much better for us. first of all, russia is in our region, and secondly, prison put this offer is good for us while the americans have given nothing to us in the last 50 years. what back us on dog him. ron khan is brave and loyal to his country when he was in power, he was with us and when he was ousted, he never left the country. and i would add that friends to americans are traitors to this country, and he'll do. i need my next generation not to be slaves like i was, i am here for my children. i want live like a free man and not a slave. we spoke earlier to dr. hamid khan, a foreign affairs expert, who says that despite being alex did offer a so cold, no confidence vote, american has enormous public support in pakistan and to this very day remains the country's most popular politician dentures ousted from the by a prime minister. how's? he's been having so much public support because his narrative of american

conspiracy behind his toppling his government is very popular in the, in the message. and they believe that iran, taco bell in the country and he should have had them that. and on the other hand, the pressure on the government that they should go for the reelection as soon as possible. the reason is that the denominator situation is very bad. inflation is at the highest in the history of the petroleum prices so, so he believes that the, he, he will be able to change the constitution and make it, and it will have very good back. all right, so one of the biggest stories of the week here on our 2 international queen elizabeth, the seconds eldest son officially proclaimed king charles the 3rd 73 years. all these, the oldest posts, and ever to assume that of the british throne, he was officially proclaimed the head of state during historic ceremony really goes by centuries and guns saluted the accession, while a bond is seen,

james as palace play the national anthem, a king charles held his 1st audience with the u. k. the new prime minister. he also made his 1st televised address on friday. now of course, all of this comes off the charles, his mother, queen elizabeth the 2nd passed away on thursday. she was 96 years old. now that's condones has been poor and from all around the world, news of the queen's death stood some mixed emotions in the former british territory of come a ruin. some locals complained that the late leader perhaps could have done more to help address the ongoing civil war. in the country, even look at questions that we have to be started when she was queen. what happens during the $6961.00 foot us tell us that the expected ha. so at least do think read. we said that younger foods will actually enjoy some more to know me, the di myself, who could at least it is enough to tell the world that nobody leaves forever. this is all indicator of the fact that the coronet era has come and gone at anybody.

somebody actually, we inherited a language from such a pest in from south country, hadn't little to see seeing. these have been a de crises for 5 years. nothing to talk about and mentally as a bit confusing the story. but i'll help you out here that the whole crisis and camera naturally started off the world war one. when the region was split between britain and france for years, the british side felt that the french side was biased and prejudiced against them. and so finally in 2017 and on conflict did break out. i mean, while there were some africans surprised at a b, b. c report, claiming the queen elizabeth's relationship with a continent, it was, quote, positive and long standing. a some readers expressed a very different view, but the outlet shut down the comment section underneath the article. we discussed queen elizabeth the 2nd legacy with a british filmmaker, an international policy consultant from south sudan, the british,

british and the british troy one. so, i mean, if you look at the 2 arguments and it's where many points, if penetrated queen a low grade that a lot of african countries got their independence and their understand that a lot of the new use them and imperialistic ways have been reduced. and now the bigger and then that happens at one of the parcel of subjugated people. and you look at that one and one, which means when the 1st african country of the british colony, dependent had been done. and i think she was the empire. so it's not fair to say that religion with poverty in africa independent. so there was some dictated door of the margin and they had to

chose a door of the queen. he was the person who met the queen when she came down the steps of the cross from africa. he, he said, i think old phone people in the world could not find anyone suitable to the path. and he, he guided her in those 1st few years, she seems to have a very amicable relationship with all prime minister. the queen never influenced anybody. so she was a very good founding cause in her life, went on her political experience was of course, greater everywhere. but none of any of her prime ministers, she kept abreast of what was going on. she had the red boxes of the cabinet delivered to her every day of her life. oh or that story wrapping up this addition of the weekly or not he international of both out of the passing of queen elizabeth the 2nd age 96. last thank you for spending

a time with us here at moscow. more stores to come when we return with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on a very dramatic and development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time time to sit down and talk ah

ah ah with mm. welcome to well get parts. one of the most celebrated generals in human history sounds employed his followers to know the army, and tried to do it without finding to little more they were still part of the curriculum. in many military academy around the world of the number and the scale

constantly increased. is this even possible to retire war as an end of politics also discussed them now joined by sean and major general of the indian armed forces and director of the united service institution of india. major general is a great, great pleasure and great honor for me to join you. thank you very much for time. thank you for inviting me. now. in your analysis of the conflict in the ukraine, you often make the point that the west wasn't able to clearly see what was russia's threat. perceptions are you sure it was due to the lack of understanding or on the country? a clear realization of what wasn't stake there for russia and ukraine, and a very deliberate, very conscious decision to ignore russia security concerns. yes, of course, there is no denying the fact that as asha has been defining its red lines very clearly. it also articulated this national security concerned. and the most

important of those was that this palmer soviet union state should not be incorporated in nato because nat, those wanted the 300 miles away from st. peter's book. so of whatever reason, the vest actually stepped over those claims. similarly, there was also no follow up on the minutes go no accord, 20142015. and subsequently what happened? the rest was helping ukraine to build up its miller d capability. and there was kind of a perception in russia that they could be a preemptive strike, one been boss dejan and crimea, and therefore, i think it was a hopson choice for russia to take this preem to war to cause the military entry into your cream. i would love to discuss the logic of that decision and the

rational that decision with human before we go there. let me ask you specifically about the expansion of nato, because i read somewhere that can the lease arise back in 2008 and the booklet i summit where you cranes intention to join. the airlines was formally welcomed for the 1st time that come to lisa rice stated explicitly there that the cold war was over and russia needed to accept that. that last. do you think this one and drive to expand nato wasn't primarily motivated by strategic and security considerations in the west or wasn't simply about psychology to sort of force rush into submission and recognition of, of it's losing status. wasn't about security or psychology to put it simply. i think curb it was who breeze on american parked. they became overconfident after the breakup of the soviet union and probably because of historic and animosities they created, wanted to create more daily months, thought russia,

and act his way boss the the breakup of for soviet union. george canon was very, i think, erudite. and he was prescient when he said, when the new court, what has been, then under the milestone was 22008, when bush wanted balloon you came to join. and mr. put in really, really hard to articulated his objection and what happened back? well, we gotcha enter of guys cause ya and so to see ship. then this night 2014, a maiden uprising took place and dead after the show was left with no other choice than to.
