ah, ah, ah, with a 4th league in the north stream, pipelines is reportedly found by the swedish coast guard. that's as moscow opens an international terrorism probe into a suspected attack on the russian german gas transit with local officials say that 6 people are wounded in ukrainian shelling of her song. it comes after an overwhelming majority of people that voted in favor of joining russia. also coming up on the program that you should stop the sanctions of media in africa, we are the ones suffering kenya. faith is the route as locals criticize the use ban on russian fertilizers for aggravating the crisis.

with a very welcome see from the russian capital early this thursday morning. my name is peter scots and welcome to the program where be joining us from and so stop story this hour. we start with the latest on the notes stream pipelines. a 4th leak has reportedly been found by the swedish coast guard. meanwhile, russia security service has a service, has opened and international terror investigation into a suspected attack on the russian, german at north stream gas pipeline. the white house is also stroked off president biden's earlier promise to put an end to the energy transit routes in the event of russian military action in ukraine. the president said that and as to wouldn't become operational and we would work with germany on that. and he was right, there will be, we, there will be no longer a north steam to we,

we will bring it into. how will you do that? i promise you will be able to do what to discuss this. i'm joined in the studio live by art, is elia trunk? thanks for dr. liter this morning. well, washington denies any involvement in the incidence enough despite what president biden earlier promised, but they've also stopped short of pointing the finger at russia. what can we beat into what's going on the moment in these statements, while on so many occasions? so many times in the past, we were, you'd expect the finger pointing thing is normally pointing straight to russia in the absences. yeah, that's normally the, the 1st go to really are however, in this particular case, it's not happening. and us officials are saying it is too early to blame russia.

although what the americans have been doing so far is firmly denied any involvement . it's not us, the us government is incomplete denial. we were absolutely not involved. the jury is still out. many of our partners i think, have determined or believe it is sabotaged. i'm not at the point where i can tell you one way or the other. moreover, several media outlets including germany's during spiegel and america's new york times have reported that this summer the c i a had warned had. busy won several countries of a possible attack on the pipeline. so what does this mean supposedly, if a warning had come from us intelligence, the americans couldn't have been guilty? so it may seem that the u. s. government could have tried to come up with an alibi

for themselves, but with the media, allegedly trying to push it. but guess what? the danish minister of defense said that neither the denmark government, nor his ministry had been notified. so if there was some kind of plan with this alibi, it didn't really work. know what else do we know about what was happening in this particular area of the baltic at this time? there been any reports about what's been happening? well, according to nato's twitter, they recently tested, quote, unquote, unmanned systems at sea. and this tweet was posted just as the news on the ledge sabotaged of the pipelines came in. so some users online tried to connect the dots, have a look. need to exercise is present opportunities to test new unmanned systems at c, ensuring that l eyes can work together to counter current and future security

challenges. so you saying it was nato, the bombed nor stream one and 2 blowing up pipelines because democracy did nato sabotaged the nord stream one and 2 pipeline with their numerous training in the see. so this story is definitely going to remain in the headlines for a very long time with things being completely unclear and with investigations ongoing. well, ilia, thank you very much for bringing us the latest on those intrigues surrounding the alleged sabotage of those high ones. thanks very much as i c l, if a trunk of thank you. i'll minister journalist vassily fidget gara for an experts in under was a tag says this services is the only plausible explanation of what's happened. he also claims that washington is the main beneficiary of the damage. goshen law, the thickness of the pipe. mattel eats up to 41 millimeters. this is a lot. the soviet t 34 tank had 35 millimeters of our mark from above. these pipes also have concrete

protection, up to 100, the 10 millimeters, that's pro series protection. so these could not have been an accident. this is definitely sabotaged. it is absolutely clear who ordered this 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 ukrainian combust swimmers, who were trained by their italian colleagues when the soonest base 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 is 50 meters come, but 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 about and is trying to cut a fear of from russian gas and wants to impose his own more expensive one, let any prices in europe have started to rise again. following the recent damage to the north stream pipelines with a price of dutch gas, which is the local benchmark, or by $16.00 euros, which is $200.00 euros per megawatt hour. rising energy prices have driven tens of thousands on the streets of the check capital. the rally organized by the check republic, 1st street so demonstrated, got the improper to protest against the conflict membership in both nato. i mean, you know, it's the 2nd search process this month. up to 70000 people we weeks ago, the process again, sanctions on russia, energy bills and on to 5, you face. meanwhile, over in spain, the soaring inflation is forcing more and more people to stand in long queues for free food from nonprofit organizations. where those lines have risen by 30 percent

since last month. as many families spend almost half of the income on food and essentials, many a trying to figure out new ways of making savings where possible. why this local photographer? last, as he is at her expense, is that you didn't pay much attention to before, but now you have to tighten your belt in certain areas, especially those tied with energy issues. for example, i tried to turn the light off to put on the air conditioning instead, because this summer it was hot, and in winter it will be a bit cold. i'm looking for alternatives to lighting and change all the lights in the house to eli d's, the consume list. as for the shopping list, 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, you have to be more restrained. they can 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 off to work is changed to taking a quick shower because gas has risen a lot. this affects everyone, regardless of age or salary. life is more expensive with the same salary you have 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. meanwhile, ukraine has shelled a number of residential areas in had some. will. this footage shows the aftermath of that attack and local authority said only 6 people were wounded as a college under residential building where hit one person is in a critical condition. and in the city of done yet, the park in hotel was stuck and damaged along with nearby park cars. as windows were shuttered in the attack, no casualties have been reported, and ukraine hasn't yet commented on any of those incidents. ortiz, roma ca, service centers. this report several 155 millimeter shells from the center

of genetics on wednesday morning actually it was at 5 am. now the you just saw are one of the craters from the shells. now as the result, sir, nearby hotel was zam edge that the cars that for it 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, ah, houses are 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, a 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 the referendum. i thought

it had the look at how big the hole is in the metal frame. that's how powerful today's blast was. thank god, only one pass and was on duty at the school. at that moment she managed to hide in a bomb shelter. at 6 a. m, i was already at the sight. he saw the damage who will recover from this? i understand why the school was shout voting to place here yesterday, 4000 ballots from here, we're in favor of joining russia. now. the at zach was a 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. phillip google pixel, 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 bomb shelter. thank god, it ended okay. without any casualties. this is yet another crates are right in the center of the nest that was formed by another shell fired by the ukrainian military against civilians in as 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. never the less 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 if

r t done as people's republic with the referendums over the leaders of done yet, scandal, guns, republics, as well as their counterparts on the chefs on and support osha regions arrived in moscow to finalize the process of uniting with russia over some of those territories of those regions remain under control of the ukrainian army. this includes is a ferocious capital and part of the done yes for public and a portion of the have san region as well. leaders from the territories say that the battles are continuing and they do expect more fighting to take place. a landslide between all 4 regions means it's around 15 percent of ukrainian soil. with the population of around 6000000 people will join russia, wants to request has been approved. and ukraine and his allies have dismissed the referendums as a sham and refused to recognize the results. here he said it would put the referendum observers from other countries on an international wanted list. well, earlier we spoke to one of them, german journalist and author thomas roper. he was observing in care song 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 will more by elections with going around with even more bio stuff and making that 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 in 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 the, to the election offices, really and 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 the brush could leave and the that what the repression from the ukraine inside after that. and now they, everybody of them was searching for a camera. we had just,

we were preserve us and we said, can we asked and nearly everybody was ready to talk into the camera and telling we want to rush out. we was waiting for it, or are they said, well, we were against all this, but we seen what ukraine is doing. they, they're shutting all schools and it's really civil infrastructure. of course, we'll keep you updated on all the latest on the events in the dumbass republics. on those other regions on what the future may hold for the ah, the solomon islands have reportedly refused to sign a joint declaration between the united states on pacific island nations at the high profile whitehouse summit. saying that there is no consensus and that it needs more time to think solomon islands is not in a position to adopt the declaration this week and will need time to reflect on the declaration and refer the declaration through solomon islands national decision

making process. solomon islands notes of the declaration remains under discussion and have yet to enjoy consensus and will need further discussion. or washington swords assigned a declaration with the pacific nations aimed at preserving regional trade on security. as well as to ensure sustainable development many to count to china's influence on the ocean and countries are also skeptical about all ang, with the u. s, saying that washington's financial promises are not sufficient. the current proposed assistance is inconsistent with the contributions of our islands towards the security and stability of the region, which also supports us interests in the region. the u. s. proposed economic assistance seems predetermined and based on insufficient analysis to put it simply the u. s. economic assistance is insufficient. on the pacific nations refusal to sign the declaration comes just a few months after the solomon islands find

a security agreement with china, washington res. these concerns, however, failed to dissuade the solomon islands from signing the security of parts with beijing. let's now cross live to robson former associate minister of foreign affairs of new zealand. ma, thanks for joining us here. nazi this morning please. you know what you make of the solomon islands refusal to sign this declaration with washington all as make your clear statement that we're not going to be pushed around. i think i've read reports coming to some sort of agreement, and i haven't had those confirmed at the moment. but the solomon islands and the marshall islands to another small group of islands where the americans carried out the nuclear test. they have real cause issues with the united states or less than the help of the people. all of these countries saying very clearly recall what we demand l sovereign whites. and particularly it's related to the issue of me to work

with china on equal vices. they're offering them and not just fall under the types this summer looking it looking like this will be resolved not between the the islands in the united states. sure. it is. well, i think it, i think it'll be resolved, that these states have to back down from it sits to so i mean, what was really demanding is, will give you money, will give you these things. if you have nothing to do with china and also being hypocritical about the bi claim, your chinese influence was ation. all these countries knows what ration is actually nicer. you 160 degrees later. by the way, germany is now part of the nato class force while the agreement pacific, i don't know what germany is doing there, along with the united kingdom. and so the militarization, these countries or small company for the small and the biggest

mass in the world. but we change and when scaling out many of the time they look good. are we going to do that? we're going to have relations who wish to an american? yes, bentley planning to spend well, how do you think this will have gone down in washington? do you think they would have expected this or not? well live, it won't go down at all very well. they pulled out all that big guns. lincoln has turned up there. john kerry, the secretary of commerce costs biden, is involved. and we're talking about very small countries, but what they are to the united states is the car is aimed at china and united states as $400.00 military base, many of the nuclear armed and interesting, the development in the ukraine. the accusation of nuclear weapons of military

strategy, the united states in this area has long been to discuss the use of nuclear weapons against china. and of course they did one there in japan against you come through the do. so, there was a, was a history of dominating of the united states joined now by canada, australia, new zealand are supposed to be reg, the line and their job is why and caroll these in the same state mac include the framework of being under the form of the not like, i'm afraid the bit like this guy. well, you did put it quite bluntly, does these islands been basically aircraft carriers for, for the united states and, you know, it does appear to be part of the west expanding influence in the area. do you think this is much of a spot in the work to the pano, more of a symbolic gesture? what do you mean? the symbolic gesture from the united states?

no, from solomon islands, they refuse to sign the declaration. i go there probably. if they do sign up, got them. i do, americans compromise to rule out of any agreement with the united states is incumbent upon them not to have any to do with china or any other company. ok. my wish to deal as a sovereign nation with so it's real what the united states is trying to do, and it's real what these countries are doing to stand up for themselves. and in that way, they're in line with the many countries, the group of 77 in the united nations, which are changing the world. and that's what russia newsheel. and unfortunately we're behind history and new zealand. the own government, which july the government was in alliance with them. they've taken it back to the situation which we were in the will we nuclear? great. what us back me later back

with policy as well. come please. and we're on the wrong side of history for well, i will have to wait and see how that pans out not robson, former associate minister of foreign affairs of new zealand. thank you very much for your time today. thank you. made the worst drought in almost half a century on the african continent. the kenyan president has called on officials to implement new measures in order to save lives. given that this is the worst drought in for decades, we must step up, create synergy, marshall more resources, and adopt a more coordinated real time and targeted intervention. the climate crisis has left millions of people on the brink of starvation with canyon president william brutal chairing a meeting on how to deal with the famine which continues, despite the help provided by other countries, needs as the more help must be given to those in droughts. a fated areas along with the droughts, kenya is also facing

a lack of fertilizers. european commission has maintained a ban on exports of the commodity. it's a 3rd world countries. russia is one of the main suppliers we heard from some local farmers who described the damage in impacts of the sanctions on their livelihoods. because to be honest though sanctions have affected us in a great way, we cannot plant or even work in our farms that you must remove the sanctions for us to feed our families and cultivate land effectively. do most of all land can produce without her till iser, and they have been using it for many years. for now, i really do not know what's going to happen. and they plead for the you to allow russia to send us more and more fertilizer lazy. all these people have been camping here for some days, and i came here last week and still i have not yet managed to get any fertilizer. it's not enough for to the you should stop the sanctions immediately. because here in africa, we are the ones suffering in or the news. the european union has drafted

a plan for an 8th package of sanctions against russia, promising the punishing measures who bite novelization and putting a threat to use nuclear weapons. a further steps on the escalation path, we were determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so today, we together proposing a new package of biting sanctions against russia. the new 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 some european services. the biggest measure is the introduction of an oil price cop. some of the policies had been discussed by the us before, but hadn't been put in place. the measures aimed to significantly reduce the inflow of petro dollars for the russian budget by assessing a maximum price on russian fossil fuels at a lower rate than the current market level. however, the unions members are yet approved the price cup, which could potentially take

a while given the time it sorts of green embargo on russian resources. or some president vladimir putin early branded the initiative a stupid and futile adding that russia will suspended export to countries participating in price cuts. that view appears to be shared by hungry, where the prime minister claim that you sanctions are destructive for europe. we can safely say that as a result of the sanctions, european people have become poor while russia has not fallen to its knees. this weapon has backfired with the sanctions. europe has shot itself in the foot and professor of economics and politics. jack rasmus says that introducing a price cup is well pointless. g 7 thinks that they can act like a cartel. they think that they can set a 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. it's really not going to work. it doesn't go effect until december

5th. well, in the meantime, no rush oh, just redirect its contracts elsewhere and salazar, i also 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's going to the global market does. 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. well that's how the world is looking at 8 30 am moscow time. i'm peta scott. somebody back with another look at the data. biggest stories in about half an hour's time, hope see it in awe

. oh, when i was shocked, seemed wrong when i just don't hold any new world yet to see proud disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground, hulu. ringback

because she, she knew spencer played, knew that with forced to muscle oqueeno, which was mostly due to to room. and you have a limited release from when to do. i know, but could we is that exists from your president, but it said all some of the year thing dollars love forms, right? cheap. ah, a was all those with the more national anthem comp, with envoy. so of course i did the tape smuggler if i have to spend the copier from, wanted to see that as the moisture ah look good, and you don't hear any old or playing music i walk.

ah, all. oh, no really? i just give them up until i come in at 230 and then scroll down below, which was interesting. so in u. e hetcher's going down here to the authority of she talks of portions there to watch. daughters from the road of life foundation went to the lou guns region where they were in great demand. ah, even in peacetime homes and rehabilitation centers with the disabled like somewhat behind the times in terms of medical advancements, essential drugs and daughters as guess

yeah, mama's heading him at betty now to delete the anomaly in use and you can now step each did it by checkups, you will hear molla there, thaw will get there, but she got her dish door, a smallish gift that none like i put on here a little achy, this is shina with a jo below oh j.
