ah ah, moscow opens an international terrorism prob, into a suspected attack on the russian german no 3 pipeline. that's up to several western media outlets claim the c a had warned you countries of a potential attack. months ago. local officials say 6 people are wounded in ukrainian. shutting off on the attack comes after an overwhelming majority of people that voted in favor of joining russia. also on the program, china labels washington disruptor, international rules of the us politicians accused the country of intimidating. ty,

with july, for my headquarters here in moscow you're watching are see it's one minute past 7 am here in the russian capital. mine is peter scott's bringing the top stories this hour. the russian prosecutor general's office has opened an international terrorism investigation into a suspected attack on the russian german no stream pipeline. meanwhile, several western media outlets claimed the ca gave a vague warning to europeans of the possible fact. 3 months ago. the kremlin pointed the finger at the us, erica, which had problem again us. this is a big problem for us, because 1st and foremost, both lines of nordstrom 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 coming to the ring. if you remember the

statements that the u. s. president made in early february, he promised to get rid of nordstrom too. we don't know exactly what he meant, what we see a hysterical euphoric reaction from poems as they are thanking the u. s. for this. we don't know what that means, either medium, we see 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 so much. we have lost his gas supply route in europe. movie dom is europe . interesting in this is germany. the engine of the european economy? are they interested in your pants? are also in a very difficult situation right now. you may very pick. well, that feminine reaction you just heard came after a form of polish top diplomats posted a photo of the must have gas leak and said quote, thank you usa. now sweden said that the cause of the pipeline damage could be not to sabotage, but didn't suggest a possible culprits. i projected back in february this year that you asked

interesting ukraine was about natural gas dales. the apparent attack mold, trim t i remind she take notice there is no shortage of pipeline capacity for taking gas from russia to western europe, including germany. thank you. usa. that sweets 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 signs are points in towards the united states. we're also learning now about sightings of american helicopters hovering over that area along the roots of the pipelines a few weeks ago. back in june, americans were boasting about conducting underwater drone experiments in the same area we're, one of the blasts took place. also, most importantly, i would say back in february, you as president joe biden, had warned that nordstrom to could become

a target. and even us media are making that connection right now. let's listen. it is true that blowing up north stream does not help vladimir putin. 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 has said so in public, if russian res at meas, tanks and troops crossing the on the border of ukraine. again, there are no, there will be we, there will be no longer a nor stream to we will bring it. and how will you do that? exactly. since the project and control of the predators 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 of, from russia. and now we had reduced flows because of western sanctions, technical issues. and now the gas flow has been halted completely from to europe

and countries to look for alternative sources with america being one of those sources. but of course, almost see here the side of the story. they're more interested in blame. 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 faults, and poland actually seems to be the mouthpiece 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's, of course, that 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 halleck and is asking for more weapons which is also very convenient . europe is already and equipment this energy crisis. how will the damage to the

pipelines now affect the people in europe? well, 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 and 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 just a warm spots. the president of the german 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 a military journalist facility got of an experts in underwater key says this other thought is the only plausible explanation. what's happened? oh, sure. the thickness of the pipe metal is up to $41.00 millimeter leo. this is

a lot to soviet t. 34 tank had 35 millimeters of armor from above. these pipes also have a concrete protection up to 110 millimeters. you this grid series protection, you know, so this could not have been an accident. this is devlin to the sabotaged. it is absolutely clear who ordered the back. in february the american president said that the united states would deal with the north stream. and as for who could actually do this. back in the spring, i made a report about you printing combat swimmers who were trained by their italian colleagues. when this unit space was attacked by russian forces, the pulls took them to the baltic. it wasn't clear up until now. why were they evacuated there? the seas rather shallow. the average depth. it's 50 meters, a comeback swimmer can dive to depths of up to 60 meters. when they tried to blame russia, it causes nothing but laughter. why is it russia? if russia can just turn off the tap, the united states still feels like

a world john dorm, and the poles and ukrainians most likely did the dirt to work buttons, trying to cut off europe from russian gas and wants to impose his own more expensive one. the recent damage to the node stream pipelines has already let a new spike in energy prices in europe with the dutch gas. the local benchmark by or by 16 euro's reach in $200.00 euro's per megawatt hour. and rising energy prices have driven tens of thousands on to the streets of the check capital. the rally organized by the check republic, 1st group so demonstrates, is gathering prague to protest against the countries of membership in both nato and the you. and is the 2nd such process this month after $70000.00. people took the street 3 weeks ago, and that was the process against sanctions on russia. energy bills announced supplies to ukraine. meanwhile, over in spain, soaring inflation is forcing more and more people to stand in long use for free food from a non profit organizations. the lines haven't written by 30 percent since last

month. as many families spend almost half of the income on food and defense shoals . many a trying to figure out new ways of making savings where possible, like this local photographer. i studies and there are expenses that you didn't pay much attention to before, but now you have to tighten your belt in certain areas, especially though site with energy issues. for example, i tried to turn the light off to put on the air condition instead, because this summer it was hot and in winter it will be a bit cold. i'm looking for alternatives to whiting. i'm changing all the lights in the house to lance that consume less. but as for the shopping least, now i spend 100 years more than i used to before. in these conditions, you don't buy fresh meat or fish anymore. you have to look at cheap things, vegetables, it have to be more restrained. also, i usually put the washing machine on at night because those are the cheapest hours for electricity. the shower is another important factor in saving, taking a relaxing shower after work has changed to taken

a quick shower because gases. reason a lot. these effects everyone, regardless of age or salary. life is more expensive with the same salary you had before. an uncertain future is coming, salaries are not rising. i don't know what will happen to us 2 years from now, but it doesn't look good at all. me while ukraine has sheldon number of residential areas in verizon. this footage shows the aftermath of the psych local authorities say that at least 6 people were wounded as a college under residential building where hits one person is in a critical condition. and in the city of the yes, the park in hotel was struck and damaged along with nearby parts cars. as windows, the shut it in the attack, low casualties have been reported, and ukraine hasn't commented on any of those incidents. ortiz aerobics of census this report. several 155 millimeter shells frog the sensor of genetics on wednesday morning, actually it was at 5 am. now the you just saw

a one of the craters from the shells. now, as a result, sir. mir by hold phil was zam edge that the cars that were port year 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, ah houses. so 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 stations during the latest referendum,

but funny to focus had little look at how big the hole is in the metal frame. that's how powerful today's last 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 pickle. the 1st strike was at 5 am. we rushed to inspect the hotel . we told people to evacuate. in a few minutes there was a 2nd strike. every one was escorted to a barn shelter. thank god,

it ended okay. without any casualties. this is yet another crates or a right in the center of the nest that was formed by another shell fired by the ukrainian military against civilians. internet speed is a public. once again, we are right in the center of the 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 a peaceful civilian if they choose to continue to destroy civilian infrastructure. of course, 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 from on cost for have already done as people's republic

with the referendums over the leaders of done yet. and lou guns republics, as well as their counterparts from the hassan ends up roger regions have arrived in moscow to finalize the process of uniting with russia. however, some of the territories of those regions do remain under control of ukrainian army . that includes up rogers, capital, and parts of done yet is going to portion of care. san leaders from the regions say that battles are continuing and they expect more fighting to take place. a victory in all 4 regions means that around 15 percent of ukrainian territory with a population of 6000000 people were joined. russia wants to request has been reproved. now as we said that ukraine undies, allies have dismissed the referendums as a sham and refuse to recognize the results. key of said it will puts referendum observers from other countries on an international wanted list. we spoke to one of them, german journalist and author, thomas roper who was observing kennesaw, and he described how the voting took place there. in general,

ukraine tries to avoid the referendum and the election offices might be really targets it's question feeding. and that's why a 4 days they were more by elections with going around with the, with more bio stuff and making the people elect from their homes. from this whole street to avoid big crowds of people, the mood of the people is quite interesting because i was a harrison which was supposed to be for, for russia, the most complicated area. but the heavy shelling of ukraine really changed the mood of the people in the last weeks. they told me this nearly every, every city. so they came to be for the election offices, really in groups. and they were quite happy, and i was there before, and they were even afraid to talk them when they were pro russian, because they were afraid that russia could leave and the that what the patient from ukraine has had after that. and now they, everybody of them was searching for a camera. we had this, we were preserve us and we said,

can we ask and nearly everybody was ready to talk into the camera and tele, we went to russia. we was waiting for it. or other said, well, we were against all this, but we see what your credit has been. they are shutting all schools and it's really civil infrastructure. of course, we'll keep you updated with the latest on the events in the dumbass republics on those other regions on what the future may hold for them. a with washington said to vote on another $12000000000.00 aid package for key f, which does include military supplies. a recent poll suggests that many americans do want their government to do more diplomatically and the conflicts in ukraine as axis. kennimore explains 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 in ukraine. then 47 percent of americans saying that they feel that they only want more a to ukraine, if it accompanies diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. now, quite a gap here. this is what the vice president of the quincy institute had to say about it. americans recognize what many in washington don't rush is worn. ukraine is more likely to end the negotiating table than on the battlefield. and there was a brewing skepticism of washington approached the war just being heavy on tough talk, military aid, but light on diplomatic strategy and engagement. this policy was the indicate that the idea of just handing over another huge package of billions of dollars. do ukraine without engaging in efforts to resolve the cost? diplomatically is not something that many americans would go along with many americans,

just add their concern. so we see the democrats attaching this to be doc gap spending bill. now it's important to note, there were funds that were originally allocated to go to deal with coven and monkey pox that we're, we're re allocated to go for ukraine. now either this stop gap spending bill is passed by friday, or else the government shut down. this is the maneuver through which the democratic party can almost force members of congress to vote for this without having substantial debate. there are a lot of concerns about oversight 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. another ab members of congress raised concerns about where these weapons are, handing out without element in the military cetera. but this maneuver by the democrats is basically a way to prove that having that conversation either this bill passes or the government shuts down, stop gap spending bill. meanwhile, i,

it's important to note that the arms manufacturer, 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. the democrats are possibly going to lose control of congress in november. polls showed that the democratic party, the biden administration, is not very popular. so it appears the democrats are trying to rush this through before they lose control of congress. but it's really important to know that the united states is costly boasting about being a democracy, is constantly putting down other countries alleging that they are not democratic enough somehow. but yet in america, when it comes to huge amounts of military spending on ukraine and the central focus of u. s. foreign policy, there's a very big gap between. ready what u. s. officials are doing and what the american people want. ah oh,

it's her asia now where china's lost outs. busy the u. s. calling it's a quote disruptor of international rules of what he calls washington's interference in the taiwan strait. you go to wood one, china principal is the prevailing consensus in the international community and a basic norm in international relations. speaking of rules, keeping one's commitment is the most basic rule. if the u. s. cannot even keep its own word. how is it in a position to talk about rules and order a country like that can only become a disruptor of international rules without furious respond spies? beijing combs, after us, vice president, pamela harris, accused china of committing provocations around ty, one or former u. s. a. secretary of state, my pompeo called on washington to prevent a quote, chinese century. china has flexed. it's military and economic might, to coerce and intimidate its neighbors, and most recently,

provocations across the taiwan strait. if we want to free 21st century and not the chinese century century, which is using pink dreams of the all paradigm, a blind engagement must and tensions over taiwan increased after us. how speak at nancy pelosi visited the island last month, trying to call the move of provocation and responded to with large scale military drills. around sy, one this month, washington approved more than a $1000000000.00 worth of arm sales to the island, which china considered to be a sovereign territory. then even more recently, joe biden said that washington would defend ty when ty, one in case of attack. but the white us later back tracks on that statement. beijing classified those latest moves as a violation of both its territorial integrity and the one china policy observed by the us vice president of the center for china and globalization. victor gal says

the u. s. does not treat other countries as equals it is sure that the united states is still hollowing out the one china policy. the united states plays the taiwan card as if that power card will enable the united states to add on to the so called the global hegemony. the united states really has a very track record. it does not deal with other countries as an equal on an equal basis. and the united states has the largest amount of was it has initiated against other countries. either things 1945, all since 991 for example, or after 2001. this record can be verified by everyone, anywhere in the world with whatever ideological twist. for example, this is the recall the united states has launched a more also gets more countries than any other country in the world of today.

the use drafted a plan for an 8th package of sanctions against russia, promising the punishing measures will binds the mobilization and putting a threat to use nuclear weapons a fall the steps on the escalation path. we determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so today, we're together proposing a new package of biting sanctions against russia. the latest sanction list will include restrictions such as a ban on the import of several russian steel products, as well as the limiting of access to so many european services. the biggest measure is the introduction of an oil price cup. some of the policies had been discussed by the years before, but hadn't been put into practice. the measures aimed significantly reduced the inflow of petro dollars to the russian budgets by setting a maximum price on russian fossil fuels at a lower rate than current market levels. however,

the unions members are yet to prove the price cap, which could potentially take a while given the time it so to agree and embargo on russian resources. russian president vladimir putin branded the initiative earlier, stupid on futile adding that russia will suspend his ex post to those countries participating in price caps. the view appears to be shared by hungary, where the prime minister claimed that you sanctions are disruptive for europe. we can safely say that as a result of the sanctions, european people have become poorer while russia has not fallen to its knees. this weapon has backfired with the sanctions. europe has shot itself in the foot. professor of economics on politics, jack rasmus says that introducing a price gap is well pointless. g 7 thinks that they can act like a cartel. they think that they can set on global market price for crew down below. what the market price is and, and i think that that's not only arrogant,

but it's really a pretty silly and it's really not going to work. it doesn't go effect until december 5th. well, in the meantime, you know, russia just redirected contracts elsewhere and salazar oils elsewhere so they won't even have to buy it. and at the price captain in europe, the global price of oil per barrel crude is you know, in low to mid eighties right now. and a rush is already discounting at this price cap is being said around $55.00 a barrel. well, that's what kind of where rush is selling it already. you know, plus that the market is going to the global market as recessions really hit in the 4th quarter is going to lower the price of the global crude. anyway. so i know it's, it's really, it doesn't make my sense. let's all lead 7, 25 am at moscow time. do you head over to r t dot com for more on any of those stories you've just said? if not, i'll be back again at the top of the hour. ah

ah ah ah.

ah no one? no, no, no, no, no. what was the limitation? i unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known. the real to production. but it will show enough here which will need some new look and he'll keep on no more no more thought this new them or not new. and i

got the must feel i wish to know exactly who i know. he didn't want to know. i had to put all of them on all buddy bill. you know, it's nice to do want to on this she might new on it. i don't, i don't the you put them out to pick your boss back in 2014. citing the military danger, the ukrainian authorities ordered the evacuation of all children who had lost their parents in don bass. this is denise from god or not,

should you kimberly mccoy at on that r e una. what if girl or boy's sicilian? you little militia to diana, d t in america. not bad duty. another inca children's ombudsman in the new guns people's republic is investigating cases of missing children. so she is permanent love with this to him to shall draw a blanca should i think it yesterday for pitching out or getting a dash cooling or not then just give them i don't worry, don't put people on your little guns. cannot ordinary spook you. d g dialing a family and my have a shell as well. guns collateral. net is poorly canton. i mean school was shut. peter, go, wouldn't that there was a note for tim. you should give the leaky show you. bye. if you, kate, louisiana, she was a girl and i probably, emma was much got for sale, actually breaking the key, getting enough, which actually i knew up she 2022. so

a repeat with children once again, being evacuated from territories controlled by cave, grandmother. so political, no, did you thought here? if not, since you got above here or you'll nov. katara, believe it even up with control now grading done just fella. girl is as school interlocking if bus and you live to was it you will get it is a yellow kid to real guns. been that one thing is public. it doesn't look at your go to look at about school. listen, i did it already sticky way. we as the boy for fear that says dick me, ear was muslim. premier in our colleges. the oakland works with chile, hundreds of orphans from the dynette peoples republic were evacuated in the same manner. but it's anyone's guess how to find children who have essentially been abducted from dumbass. the most favourable outcome would be an option. but there's a question mark on that.
