things will escalate anybody with new footage of a new can the damage north steam pipeline system emerges as a former polish foreign minister. thank washington. thinking that the you, if that are tied to the russian gas to pi ruth gay on joining russia. that's how the referendum them independent done by the public and keep break away ukrainian regions ended with the vast majority of those in favor. several, $155.00 millimeters shows. it struck the center of done net on the wednesday morning. actually, it was at 5 am. i'll correspondence underneath report on ukraine's will name has showing up with the 15 to the morning off to local residents,

voted in favor of joining russia. a major hotel school and the residential building was struck in the latest attack. and germany's opposition leader is forced to back track on the statement that ukrainian refugees are basically wealthy tourist. after talked outrage and berlin from national parliament with the international. we're coming to live for my headquarters here in moscow. thanks so much for joining us. russia says it's absurd to claim that it would sabotage its own north string pipeline, especially as there was only one country that would benefit from that. a problem. again, this is a big problem for us because 1st and foremost, both lines of nor turn to are filled with gas. all the systems are ready for

pumping, and the gas is very expensive. now this gas is escaping into the air for me to the ring. if you remember the statement that the u. s. president made in early february, he promised to get rid of nordstrom tomb. we don't know exactly what he meant. we see a hysterical euphoric reaction from poems as they are thanking the us for this. we don't know what that means. either medium was the huge profits from american suppliers of liquefied natural gas. they are very, very interested in continuing to reap super profits. are we interested in this? no, we're not to it. we have lost his gas. so why route in europe medium is europe. interesting than this is germany. the engine of the european economy are they interested in the longer pants are also in a very difficult situation, right? now if you could continue that criminal reaction came off to form a polish top diplomat posted a photo of the massive gas leak and said to quote, thank you usa. meanwhile, us congressmen suggested that washington's main interest in the ukraine conflict

has been securing american prophets on energy. marcus sweden, meanwhile, has said the cause of the pipeline damage could be an act of sabotage without suggesting a possible culprits. i projected back in february these year that you asked, interesting ukraine was about natural gas deals with their parent attack mult stream to i remind should take notice there is no shortage of pipeline capacity for taking gas from russia to western europe, including germany. thank you. usa, that swings was very suspicious, and russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman even commented on it, asking whether it was an official admission of a terrorist attack. because at the moment all signed up points in towards the united states. on tuesday, german magazine spiegel claimed that the cia had warned germany about possible attacks on the gas pipelines in the baltic sea were also learn. and now about

sightings of american helicopters hovering over that area along the routes of the pipelines a few weeks ago. back in june, americans were boasting about conducting underwater drone experiments in the same area. one of the blasts took place also, most importantly, i would say, back in february, he was president joe biden, had warned that nordstrom to could become a target. and even the us media are making that connection right now. let's listen . it is true that blowing up north stream does not help flood where he would not do that. why would he? but that doesn't mean that other countries wouldn't consider doing it. they would consider it, and we know they have considered it because at least one of them had said, so in public, if russia invades that means tanks or troops crossing the, the border of ukraine again, then there will be we, there will be no longer a north stream to we, we will get into how will you do that exactly. since the product and

control of the product is within germany's control, i promise you will be able do. and maybe they did. after all, they used to get 40 percent of a gas from russia, and now we had to reduce flows because of western sanctions, technical issues. and now these leaks, gas flow has been halted completely promising european countries to look for alternative sources with america being one of those sources. but of course, i want to hear the side of the story. they're more interested in blame and russia accusing that of an act of aggression. this for us would of course. busy means it would be like, shooting itself in the foot. but again, they're more interested in saying that this is all russia's fault, and poland actually seems to be their mouth piece lately. let's have a look. this is probably a signal from russia. this shows what means mechanisms, the russians are capable of resorting to in order to further de stabilize europe.

now the head of the european commission said that whoever is responsible, whoever is behind it, will have to pay for it. of course, he didn't, they didn't specify who yet frames. presidential advisor already jumped on the bandwagon accused rush of an act of aggression saying that it's trying to create a free winter panic and is asking for more weapons which is also very convenient. europe is already in the grip that there's energy crisis. how will the damage to the pipelines now affect the people in europe? what we've seen gas prices in europe skyrocket on these news. on tuesday they increased by 10 percent. but if we compare energy prices to the same time in september 2021, for example, the increase to 100 percent. so consumers are really feeling it right now. and especially now when winter will start, they're very worried that they will not be able to afford to stay to stay warm. but the presence of the drum and energy regulator has said that even though the market

situation is tense right now, germany and europe are no longer dependent on nordstrom supplies and there will be just fine. so we'll see when, when for start the alleged sabotaged, occurred at a difficult time for europe with winter fast approaching and fears, wising among the public that they will be able to afford to their homes. german media report that the damage done to the pipeline can be repairable fighting government officials. and moreover, russians made gases for 2 gas problem has said it may be forced to cut office supplies to europe via ukraine, saying the ukrainian company it works with natural gas. has failed to for full contractual obligations. services that ukraine failed to provide should not, and will not be paid for gas prom considers the filing of the appeal by nafta, gaz of ukraine. to be an unfriendly step in a continuation of the ukrainian company's bad faith conduct and believes that further attempts by nafta gaz of ukraine to pursue this dispute may cause the

russian state authorities to introduce sanctions against that company. all the situation for europe is just going from bad to worse as it's running out of options, even to fall back on the limited supply of rush and gas from which it still hadn't cut itself off completely. now what this statement from gas problem means is the gas promise siding unfulfilled transit obligations of the ukrainian state company. natural gas. the company evokes the potential for russian government sanctions against nafta, gas as a result. now any such sanctions would prevent gas prompt for being able to continue paying those transit fees to natural gas on gas ship from russia to europe, along $1.00 of the very few remaining brutes to supply the you. particularly now that nordstrom pipelines are both off the table in the wake of yesterday's alleged vandalism. now, natural gas is issued a statement say the gas prom is already paid transit fees for october, fine,

but after that the ball is still up in the air. who knows what might happen after that? a rupture of this gas shipment arrangement. one of the very few remaining means left for europe to get russian gas would mean choking off gas supply to customers like italy, germany, austria, france. in slovakia this would effectively leave the turk stream pipeline whose customers include hungry and serbia. so the balkans would be sitting pretty in that case, unlike the rest of europe. so are, are the other you countries in that case just going to let the balkans have all the gas it's not like europe can rely on the us to step in and bridge the supply. gout with shale gas u. s. shell industry executives have already made it emphatically clear. mainstream western press reports that they can't ramp up adequate production in time for the winter. so with options running out and europe in a raised to secure energy against rapidly dwindling options on one side and growing

protests by citizens staring down the barrel at a winter of duel inflationary and energy supply crises on the other reality seems to be setting in at least for the economy minister of the blocks economic engine, jeremy. sometimes there's just smoldering and sometimes the entire house is on fire . in either case, the future viability of our economy is at risk and permanent damage is imminent. we must now muster all our financial strength to get our economy through this crisis to protect jobs, investments in the future viability of our economy. yeah, the house is on fire. it was barely over a month ago. that havoc was bragging that he had gotten his shower time down to 10 minutes, dan, down to 5 minutes, all to help save the country from an energy crisis. but these mounting problems are becoming increasingly difficult to solve just by taking a stopwatch to the morning bathroom, retain the austrian form of foreign minister. kevin, can i so believe that accusing russia of damaging its own gas pipeline is illogical

. considering how much effort moscow's put into the north student project, a gas already to reorganize number to be organized 2 years ago because it was tension on that company was provided for them to to be on the chrome. so that was not only money need in order to enlarge and walk. dream being done, i don't any are logical and then it will play the question after having put so much energy in getting on track. rising energy prices in the you have driven tens of thousands onto the

streets of the trick capital to protest against the government, domestic and foreign policies. the rally organized by the check for public schools for demonstrators gathered in prague, waving the text flag is in the central features. many of the client countries membership in both nathan and the you. it's the 2nd such close as the month off, the $70000.00 people took 2 weeks ago to participate in the sanctions on russia, in chicago and supplies to claim the vast majority of voters in the independent don boston to break away ukrainian regions have cost a balance in favor of joining russia, occupancy the latest on the referendums in the republics of dentist going to guns and the regions on top of georgia and has on final results in the dentist. the public indicator 799 percent voted to join russia with the guns for public showing 98 percent voting in favor in the regions of upper boise and on pulling results

showed 93 percent and 87 percent respectively. voting in favor of joining russia as well. the highest turn out in the polls was in the denise republic where over 2000000 people cost a vote of a 1600000 voted in the guns for public wine in both has fallen in the promotion region over a 1000000. when to the polls we talk to international observer henrique, for 4 years, we explained what influenced voters to make the choice with surprise. especially in the cases of for logan scans on the it's the highest prisons because the guar i was in bias 2 weeks ago. i lived during when we came in don't yet go specially day and night. we're going and bombings over all the c t people there talk about the lottery lottery means somewhere any time you can die,

viable me. don't know. but you have only to leave to leave as normally as you can. so especially in these conditions, people once to be part of russia and be part of peace. the west has accused russia of conducting the referendum quote at gunpoint. that's why like annoying ukraine twits to jail, anyone taking part in the vote, as well as the relentless shilling of participating areas by kids, military and independent proportion from portugal. buena cavallo spoke of the continuous attacks underneath i think there are people who still haven't realised that internet. it's not just one or 2 incoming missiles per day. there around $150.00 of them. neighborhoods are bombed every half hour. staying internets cannot be compared to staying in odessa, give or even hargrove. we are not even talking about

a city in which there is fighting on the ground is insane to sheldon ask on a daily basis. it's a collective punishment for the civilian population. there is no other way to describe it. in the latest crane in shelling of the city of dennis on wednesday morning, the permanent parked in hotel was struck and damaged, along with near by park cars. as windows was shattered in the attack, no casualties have been reported at his raymond caseres sent us this report. several 155 millimeter shells struck the sensor of john ned's on wednesday morning . actually it was at 5 am. now you just saw one of the craters from the shows. now, as a result, nearby hotel was damaged. the cars that were born here were damaged as well. now, the generator at this hotel is, are completely destroyed as well. you can see her workers are now doing everything

they can in order to restore operation of this hotel. now, this hotel itself, houses, workers from russia, houses adjourn. this is actually one of our crews that was at this hotel as well. archie arabic, in fact, thankfully no one was heard during this attack by ukrainian and nationalist by their hotel rooms were destroyed and they were forced to move from here. now other damages are in a vis a high school right here. you can see the windows have been blown out. now this high school was also appalling station during the latest referendum. i thought it had that look at how big the hole is in the metal frame. that's how powerful today's blast was. thank god, only one person was on duty at the school. at that moment, she managed to hide in a bomb shelter. at 6 am, i was already at the site. he saw the damage. we will recover from this. i understand why the school was shout voting took place here yesterday,

4000 ballots from here. we're in favor of joining russia. now the at zach was once again at 5 o'clock in the morning. the workers here did everything in order to evacuate the, the residence of this hotel as soon as possible. and of course i spoke to one of them. he told me exactly what happened this morning. purely political pickled 1st strike was at 5 am. we rushed to inspect the hotel. we told people to evacuate in a few minutes to was the 2nd strike. everyone was escorted to a barn shelter. thank god, it ended okay without any casualties. this is yet another crates or a right and the sensor of the nest that was formed by another shell fired by the ukrainian military against civilians and annette peoples of public. once again, we are right in the center of this city very far away from any kind of military positions and what kind of far away from the front line as well. nevertheless,

ukrainian nationalists to choose to continue to terrorize the peaceful civilians if they choose to continue to destroy civilian infrastructure. of course are the results of the referendum, have been overwhelmingly in favor of julian, russia. but people are also hoping that once they join a russia all their hardships will and as well. and they will be finally able to live in peace. vermont calls for. have arti done as people's republic? of course will keep you updated with all the latest on the events in the dumbass for pat mixon, breakaway legions, and what the future holds for them. ah . with washington state to vote on another

$12300000000.00 a package for kids which includes military supplies. and recent poll shows that some americans, one thing government to do more diplomatically to end the conflict in ukraine. well, to discuss more in this way, joined parties kind of mountain. so kelly, exactly how far the news is washington from your average american on this. so tuesday, we have congress putting forward a vote for another, basically, $12300000000.00 to go to ukraine. and at the same time, we have the quincy institute coming forward with a new poll that shows that 49 percent of americans say that biden has not done enough diplomatically to resolve the crisis. and ukraine than 47 percent of americans saying that they feel that they only want more aid to ukraine if it accompanies diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. now, quite

a gap here. this is what the vice president of quincy institute had to say about it . americans recognized what many in washington don't russia more in ukraine is more likely to end the negotiating table than on the battlefield. and there was a brewing skepticism of washington post the school just being heavy on tough talk. military aid, but light on diplomatic strategy and engagement. now, this pole seems to indicate that the idea of just handing over another huge package of billions of dollars to ukraine without engaging in efforts to resolve the conflict diplomatically is not something that many americans would go. ringback 1 along with many americans just have their concerns and so we see the democrats attaching this to the stop gaps spending bill now it's important to note there were funds that were originally allocated to go deal with cove it in monkey pox that were, were reallocated to go for ukraine, but essentially if this bill isn't past the government of the united states,

we'll shut down. this is the stop gap spending bill. so this is a way of maneuvering to almost, you know, strong arm congress to pass this bill without substantial debate about it. and put more money into ukraine. there are a lot of concerns about oversight. i haven't seen a detailed list of exactly how they want to spend the money oversight of ukraine. aid is sorely needed. the state and defense departments are handling billions of dollars in ukraine funding, but neither have permanent inspectors general in place to investigate and prevent abuse of funds. now there have been members of congress raised concerns about where these weapons are ending up about extremist elements in the ukrainian military, et cetera. but this maneuver by the democrats is basically a way to prevent having that conversation either this bill passes or the government shuts down. stop gab spending bill. meanwhile, it's important to note that the arms manufacturers, the old military industrial complex, seems quite delighted by this move. as a practical matter,

countries that have had to rely on russian equipment are going to find it very difficult to get even basic supplies from russia's defense, industrial base. it is an opportunity, certainly for industry members in the room. now the democrats are likely to lose control of congress in the mid term elections that are coming up in november. so it looks like it's maybe some got to maneuver to make sure they get this done while they still have control of congress. because all show that biden and his administration, the democratic party are not very popular in the united states right now. but i think it's worth highlighting, just highlighting, here are the real gap. are the, the solid gap, ah, you know, between what the american people wants and turned according to these polls and what the u. s. political lead is doing. because it appears that despite the fact united states goes around the world, boasting that it is democratic, there's a pretty big gap between the american public and the,

the league actions of the american political leadership. and so i think that gap seems to be getting bigger. caleb mouth and artic correspondent, thanks so much for that insight germinal position eda frederick miss has been forced to apologize. often. he accused ukrainian refugees of being wealthy to us, saying that there was something taking advantage of the germans states social benefit system. those comments, fact outrage in the national parliament the charter about social tourism is destroying the social cohesion that we the hunt so far and supporting ukraine and welcoming refugees. anyone who says something like that has 0 sense of responsibility and empathy. how does it ashley fit and with the much vaunted solidarity of the union with ukraine, that frederick met, speaks of social tourism in the context of people fleeing this terrible war of aggression wanting to distinguish yourself by devaluing other people is an

instrument that right wing populace regularly use friedrich mertz knows that to ukraine's ambassador to germany didn't waste any time in author lashing out of the german opposition leader calling his statements nonsense. the play for apologizing, the german politician said it was unfair for the refugees to receive welfare. my germans and fowls are struggling economically evening. the hour by those who work work hard, they pay their bills and many of them still cannot afford eating at home. the same time refugees and other recipients have the heating paid fault. is that really fair? does? this is unfair and is perceived as being unfair. and besides this, the german government is to adopt new legislation to tax people's income. more that the common comes as germans continue to suffer from the y, as in energy prices, with the average household expected to pay $3.00 times more for gas this year than

last year. in the 1st half of the se, germany accepted more than 700000 refugees from ukraine. up until the end of july, only less than half of them had registered as looking for work him in parliament. members get rolled often of the a if the party says the refugee situation has become a real dilemma for the country. i think this is a problem in germany. that was, and he was right with this statement that we have a lot of soccer tourism ukrainian refugees because we see some effect like if you want to order a 6 by the good to do the range of exposure for the next 23 weeks on this he is that a lot of traffic on and going back and we see that the social benefit was pretty open for, for ukrainian. ready and from july, so that it's much more perform ukraine when you're germany,

because this is more than 500 years a month and minimum minimum calling correct if it will be a problem for the people or is he not getting all the bills from the companies from from the gas companies that they have sometimes 10 times higher monthly payments and they have before and the responsibilities are government, of course, with which it has done ridiculous energy policy for, for, for the not minimums only the, all parties are involved with the blame game is going on a position and then, but we had a 16 year c, u government, which is murphy. and they made a lot of mistakes and energy policy and so on. i'll see, as i say, all parties in germany are responsible for this crisis trust, but verify. as soon as prime minister personally test out an anti tank mr. hall

during nato military drove tire color was visiting the western alliances, drills and eastern europe, where she tried her skills at warfare activities by taking aim with a javelin. and he tank miss alt walking around the trenches and riding a military pickup for the story and more you can hit arty india's official telegram channel as well. it's it's twitter page. and for other stories, you can hit our website at auntie dot com. that brings us to the end of this bulletin. we'll be back with you at the top of the hour until then for me in the news room. thanks so much for joining us. ah no one else. sure thing. wrong one. 03. just don't move. you have to figure out is the because the attitude

and engagement equals betrayal when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah . ringback ready of course she changed with buffalo new that was a still national leader, which is obviously due to a come to realize from when you do or not. but who would you a had to go with

the national anthem. com protect with envoy. so i could see if i could, if i have to spend the copier from, wanted to feel good as the boys are new to me. if any, with me for what he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race who is on a very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very difficult time to sit down and talk look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must

obey the orders given by human beings, except where such short or conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously, is a truck rather than a would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with to ah, with.
