claiming he was actually calling for function with the us republican lawmakers slammed the saudis as royal bad happens, following the okay plus decision for slash oil outputs, we add those things the way it's fully responsible for the energy clients. it's in the country with a will welcome to you. it's 4 pm here in moscow. and this is audrey international with the latest world news update. it's good to happy with us, and we'll begin with breaking news from russia's crimea. the bodies of 2 men and women have been recovered after a huge explosion on the bridge connecting the mainland with the peninsula. from key of officials celebrated the news. his how moscow reacted to that the reaction of the key regime to the destruction of civilian infrastructure reveals its terrorist

nature. this is a video of the explosion captured by c. c tv. the russian anti terror committee say the truck exploded on the crime me in bridge connecting mainland russia and try me or causing damage to at least 2 sections as well as a large fire local official say a fuel tank caught fire off to the explosion with the cause of the bloss currently on the investigation. the fires including long on a nearby train have already been extinguished. according to the russian emergencies, ministry, and operational headquarters has been set up on the sports ministry of emergency situations of russia is involved in investigations into the cause of the trained fire, with divers, surveying the sea, but will have local journalists thought i called co reporting from the ground to put rooms, comma, which windows in residential areas encouraged, were knocked out by the black fires, not visible on the bridge any more. and the black column, the smoke has also dissipated. the bridge remains close to traffic. all the trucks

that came from crania, are being turned around. there are already several dozen cars waiting for the promised ferry crossing to open today at about 6 o'clock and emergency occurred in courge residence, heard an explosion and saw a bar in the railway section of the bridge. according to preliminary information, a railway tank was in fire. now there are representatives of the ministry of emergency situations, goodbye drivers and what to do next. everyone has the same question. when will the ferry crossing be launched and what the tickets price will be? there is a small private gas station here where a q of several dozen causes lined up in the city. there is a rush for fuel. now, gasoline runs out very quickly, right in front of us at the gas station. they raised the price of gasoline by few roubles, but we discussed the incident with 3rd a gun, sharon, the president of the association of veterans of the anti terrorism unit alpha. he said his thoughts on why the attack was carried on to this exact time and place

ordered the new issue. this act of sabotage corresponds with the craniums, had promised that they would try to blow up or tank the crimean bridge by any means . but so far as i understand, the americans have not allowed them to use the long range weapons that they supply to ukraine in order to avoid creating a precedent. however, it seems no one forbade ukrainian saboteurs from doing what they did. and i think it's clear, given the context that ukraine has now resorted to terrorism. i don't think it's a coincidence that a truck loaded with explosives was there at 6 in the morning. at the exact moment when there was an oil cargo train on the tracks near by the explosion, which happened up this time. and in this place, led to the fact that those fuel tanks caught fire. some way, some media outlets are cynically celebrating the deadly bombing of the crimean bridge, the daily mail, even called it a birthday presence of land to me,

a person who turned 70 on the eve of the attack. while the sons tabloid suggested that ukrainian special forces were responsible for the bone and of course being called pigeons prized bridge and the symbol of russians so called occupation. despite the facts that crimea locals voted overwhelmingly in favor of reunification with russia back in 2014 will join him in the studio with more details. now as a correspondent, marina concert. thanks for coming in. so we don't know who's responsible at this stage or exactly what happened, but what can you tell us about what we know so far? we know so far, ukraine's reaction has been celebratory. all more. and then we've been showing that sweets that would be emerging from ukraine. how they're praising, what happened and not they're loving it, but i would just like to say, well, we started chime the sweets, so let's get into that at 1st. so we have the secretary of national security of defense and the council of ukraine,

which is saying that we're actually shown the defense ministry right now saying how soon notorious symbols of ross and power have gone down and they're asking them right. and then what's next. the line, we also have the secretary of national security and defense council of ukraine show in the side by side of the bridge. there were saying good morning ukraine, and marilyn monroe sing and her infamous happy birthday mister president. and i was, of course, alluding to blood mere putin 70th birthday, which was on the eve of this attack. then we also had the u. k. defend ministry that we just showed earlier. and that actually, that suite was repulsed by a number of the ukrainian embassies around the world in this way, that was the one that they were posted. then we had italy as well. and then we had the embassy, the ukrainian embassy in georgia, which showed a photo over the burn and bridge. and it was saying, good morning, we are with ukraine now. we're on the ukrainian security services. they were

posting the bridges burton and well, great things from the ukranian armed forces. today is a great occasion, but forget the free people died and they're talking about the celebration and well done that this happened. and also i'd like to show how the ukrainian embassies and singapore, and also in the czech republic, what dates we said, what their reaction has been. let's, let's have a look. trimming bridge is not at its best these days. the large explosion in massive fire was reported this morning along with the roadway section collapse and traffic suspension. crimean bridge is the one that connects temporarily occupied crimea with mainland russia, crimea, ukraine, and always deficient or old and breach umbilical cords will not take root here. and the latest were here, and now from the landscape advisor, he's saying now that this is all russia russia's fault, russia did it by itself. after all, they're saying the truck came from russia. so russia bombed its own bridge,

which is something nikki, were discussing earlier in the week about the north, from gas pipelines, the 1st that we're saying, all, well don, this is exactly what we wanted. and then they started accusing rochelle, blowing up a so on the gas pipeline. so we're seeing the same rhetoric here, repeating itself all morning long. that was sweet and say, no grade gifts vladimir putin here, you go, you don't have at it. and now they're saying, actually we think that it was a putin behind it and he did it himself. so contradictory slightly. we touched upon earlier as well. some of the tabloids how they're reacting to the bridge. what has the international reaction being like? this reaction, we saw the headlines there from mainstream media. the western media should ads that they are rejoiced and then it's, or they keep emphasize in how this will really damage or harm vladimir putin. this is a perfect birthday present. so these are the headlines we're seeing in terms of statements

. we're now seeing that mainly from european countries because it's still early as the news is developing. we're seeing reaction from as sony and poland who, again, ukraine hasn't claimed responsibility for this attack. they would just rejoice in all morning long, but we are seeing a still in the, in poland, not only saying that ukraine is behind that, but they're applauding them for let's listen. i believe this target has been around for a very long time. is tonia certainly welcome space and congratulations, ukrainian special operations units who are expected to be behind the separation motivation. and that's just that. it says it's a bone for the soul, especially given yesterday was put in birth day. it's great here receive such gifts . i wish him more of such gifts. again, the 3 people dead and we're seeing that there wish more such gifts. again, though, i must say that so we heard from the russian mission to the o. s. c, which highlights at once again, if i can quote here, the terrorists nature and successes of kias regime. this is something that was i

called by mighty as a car, as well as a foreign ministry spokesman. who said that and the toxicity is we have photos and people are literally inky of taking pictures next to the burning bridge. i don't know how they managed to print that on time or prepare it in time. we have shot, survive, we can show it. and there are people taking photos like they're behind a popular tourist attraction and they're smiling there. we can see it. this is something i don't know how the miners to prepare it so quickly. and then they have people smiling and taking pictures. and this is what they're saying that talks the city of the key of the regime and how cruel they are. because we have 3 people that and this is what they're doing. taking pictures extra burden bridge. let's hear a lot. so the russian mission to the o. s c, has to say about this. now the leadership of ukraine is rejoicing that the terrorist attack making enthusiastic statements their state post office even

promises to issue a stump dedicated to the event. the terrorist nature and toxicity of the regime is obvious, but the west continues to portray them as heroes. and we also know that the ukraine, 2nd largest bank, has already issued a new debit card design. that is feature in the collapse bridge. i don't know how they managed to do this so quickly. it almost makes you think was this prepared. but of course they think about russia is, is behind it, russia, the one that did it again should in itself and in the foot. but basically, this is the toxicity of kids regime that money as i thought of. and the russian mission to the see is referred to in this case, was there any indication that the bridge would become a targets? of course, once again, just like we're discussing the earlier last week with the north, some gas pipelines where we had joe biden, mention it himself that the north stream to pipelines would become a target. here again, just this summer, we had ukraine's presidential advisors saying his own words that the crimean bridge

would be a target. and this is something that were heard ever since. 2014, any pro russian region, any region that joins the russian federation, that is a target. let's, let's hear water ukraine's presidential adviser side the somewhere about the crime . the enbridge students include, we don't care about the crime in breach once we receive the necessary technical options, it will become a target for us. there is nothing to discuss. we don't have an opportunity yet, but once we get it, we'll targets, as mentioned. and it seems like it up, they found this opportunity and they, they just started, but again, the investigation is ongoing. we'll see what the results of that will be. okay, marina many thanks for coming in with us each has really appreciate it. marina cause we're going journalist on founder of the don't boss inside the website, chris, down the on said russia should recognize ukraine as

a terrorist. faith. i think it's a turning point, and i think really russia should reconsider the 4 months of the intervention in the don't boss. things if you ever did any in ukraine, in general now or the calls to transform the special military operation into an anti terrorist operation. and i think it should be dawn. it's already a long time that ukraine has proved to be a tourist to see. i mean, they have healed the civil of our commanders, the head of the d. p. r, resource effects and the didn't hide about that. so it's not something new is just that now, russia has to officially knowledge that ukraine unitary states and treat as such. the bridge is the main trade connection between crimea and other russian territories. the damage has already caused traffic jams at the local gas stations. authority for the trains will be able to cross the bridge again this evening. so

he's able to carry around. $100.00 people will also be laid on the damage could see the peninsula face, the shortages of essential goods. but the head of the republic of crimea gave oxen all that reassured people. but there's enough food in phil supplies and the republic for more than 2 months to the republic of crimea has plenty of fuel and food. we have more than a month's worth of fuel and more than 2 months worth of food. there are no risks or reasons for excitement. meanwhile, in moscow actually holding a rally at the u. s. embassy, the moses find and resignation, and nato is withdraw from post soviet territory protested, holding on banners and george and flag while cooling the usa wells terrorist state, which is trying to maintain is, has monic power. one of the bonus phase is struck on the climate climate bridge was ordered by american c. i. a among the protest is people just as uncle sam and ukraine in chain and now to dawn by

residential areas and civilian infrastructure of don. yes. could being showed by ukraine, that's according to local officials, much asserted shows. plumes of smoke rising shortly after the strike. according to numerous report, the local printing house and whole sounds, bo, called fire, and several residential buildings were heavily damaged investigations into possible casualties on the way. while the incident in crimea comes as ukraine's president is now back tracking on his comment, searching a pre emptive nato strike on russia, claiming he was misunderstood. and i said you have to do preventive kinks, nada dex. yahoo! just because at the shore that amber g, a t as in order to port and those do prevent doing excited through medea, there was a 0 in the trim, a do month employees ago, gabled it for gym like miss lumpkins this he was simply,

i think the west to impose more sanctions claiming the kremlin is preparing society for the possible use of nuclear weapons. he added he would never cove a nuclear armageddon as that would make him a terrorist. the wording he used, however, translates from ukrainian literally, as at preemptive strikes, russian officials, they, they're unconvinced spies. zalinski is back tracking chopin. we neural booth the what should nato do? eliminate the possibility of russia using nuclear weapons. i once again appeal to the international community as it was before february 24th. we need preemptive strikes so that russia would know what awaits them if they use nuclear weapons, not the other way around, to wait for rushes nuclear strikes and then say, oh no. okay, then take this after yesterday, zalinski called on his western masters to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on russia. with this statement, he's essentially shown the whole world more evidence of the threats emanating from

the key regime, which the special operation was launched to neutralize order attempts by zalinski secretaries to claim that he meant something else are ridiculous. besides, in this situations landscape, like his entire regime has got a taste and is beginning to dictate his own conditions, both to nature and to the union. kirkland, you show you what is legal and media analyst lionel say say i think him incomprehensible to even discuss nuclear threats. have we as a species forgotten what nuclear conflict is? have we honestly do we need a refresher course into what we're talking about. i mean, i, i understand that we have various degrees of amnesia. tolstoy, he said history would be a wonderful thing if the were only true. but i'm hearing about this and i'm hearing about war and aggression as though we're playing some kind of a game. and i, i think this is insanity even to be discussing this cabin literally,

because also it's not so much that a nuclear war could be triggered it or, or actually are directed, but things could be triggered once this starts, there's no calling it back, you know, didn't or the okay and enough that was a mistake, that was a, that was a typographical mistake. i, i didn't really mean that this, i can't believe. i'm frankly hearing what i'm hearing. the way as of this is nobel peace prize were announced on friday with the ukranian president absent from the list. it was nominated for the prestigious awards by the european parliament back in march, drawing criticism from some quarters. the european parliament is proposing the president of ukraine as a candidate for the nobel peace prize. how was one of the actors in the war going to receive the nobel peace prize on there others who fight for peace? why not? pope francis or the un director, there must be many others,

not to political price. it's a kind of nato nobel human rights prize. now it's not a piece price. it's not a price. according to the will of alfred nobel. he wants it to be given to the those who have quotation, dont know most or best to advance fellowship among nations, the abolition reduction of standing armies on the establishment and promotion of peace congress's. now none of the 3 organizations have done anything like that. one of them have called for arms to you. crime. none of the 3 organizations are not the 2 who received it last year or president lensky were in any way. mash, alfred, no bells will. and i'm, i'm pulling by the fact that major round the world do ask, how can it come? how is it possible that this committee repeatedly can give the price to anything

but disarmament, abolition, et cetera, which was outfit? no bells will. this is a legal issue. and should be investigated, how can you deliberately move away from them? did and still be a legal organization. royal back stabbers, that's how a us republican lawmakers describe saudi arabia as a react move to reduce the oil output following the opec plus decision. other us officials, even calling for the president to cut off weapon supplies, the gulf kingdom. the saudis need us more for weapons than we need them. prison violence should make it clear that we will cut off weapons if upper plus doesn't reverse the decision to make drastic costs and production in congress. we should also explore ways to rainy notebooks control over energy prices worldwide. the white house has long praised saudi arabia as a strategic partner,

selling the country large amounts of weapons this spine, joe biden was pledging to make a pariah during his presidential campaign. some u. s. congress members are also calling for a rethink the country's relationship with opec plus members with saudi arabia as action being described as hostile to washington. meanwhile, the sounds, the minister of state, say, the us itself is to blame for rising gas prices. the idea that how you doing good would do this to harm the us or to be in any way politically involved this? absolutely not correct at all with due respect. the reason you have high prices in the united states is because you have a refining shortage that has been in existence for more than 20 years. you haven't built refineries in decades. he's caleb moping has more details on re i'm decision on for us reaction. well, essentially we have opec announcing that they will be reducing the oil output by $2000000.00 barrels per day. now that is rattling the circles of power the united

day. there's quite a bit of outrage on the 2 days since the announcement already we're hearing the leaders of saudi arabia being described as back stabbers, putting a night in the back of the united states. here's what we've heard from unanswered questions about 911, the brutal murder of journalists, jamal cas shogi, and the exporting of extremism to dubious jailing of peaceful dissidence in conspiring with vladimir putin to punish the u. s. with higher oil prices. the saudi royal family has never been a trustworthy ally of our nation. it's time for our foreign policy to imagine a world without this alliance with these royal back stabbers back stabbers. that is, the language being used to describe the long time ally of the united states, the kingdom of saudi arabia. and it appears that they consider this to be a humiliation of joe biden, at a, consider this to be hurting the economic interest of the united states. and

apparently, the united states feels that it has rights over saudi arabia's oil. you'll recall economist magazine recently, i, you know, over the summer they tweeted out, meet mohammed ben solomon, that's the count. brown, prince of south of saudi arabia, the millennial autocrat who controls our oil now that wheat was deleted because it is not their oil. it is by right, the oil of the kingdom of saudi arabia, according to the constitution, ah, but apparently the united states feels it has some rights over it as do the british . now, at this point, what can the united states do? but rant and rave at the saudis for not doing what they want here. some of what we've heard, what saudi arabia did to help putin continue to wage his despicable, vicious war against you. crane will long be remembered by americans. we are looking at all the legislative tools to best deal with this appalling and deeply cynical action, though the no peck bill is up for discussion. this is a bill that would allow the united states to su, opec countries take them to court,

possibly have you escort, seize their assets. if they don't do, i want the united states wants that would allow civil actions against opec countries by the united states in retaliation for move such as this, that bill is up for discussion. in addition to that, the military relationship between the united states and saudi arabia is being questioned. this is what's been said as well. i just don't see any good reason for us to maintain troops that are there almost solely for the purpose of protecting their oil fields. and their security interests. there is no question that mohammed been solomon, the crown prince of saudi arabia, shears putin's world view more than he shares ours. doesn't appreciate american advocacy for democracy in the world. now it's been 70 years that the united states has been aligned with the kingdom of saudi arabia. they've been one of the most loyal allies of the united states and nato in the region. you can recall after the

1979 iranian revolution, the reagan administration saying that they would never allows the to revolution to take place in saudi arabia. that is a steadfast longtime partner of the united states. but now we're seeing the circles of power in washington, turning on them pretty rapidly in response to recent moves around opec people will recall the words of former us president george w bush, who said you're either with us or against us. and that kind of thinking seems to be prevailing in washington dc. why can't i by get american oil companies to increase the output? they just won't do it. because american oil companies are doing is raising prices at home to make up for this slowing of demand. well, it's the same thing that the saudi isn't o'clock, are doing globally, you know, negotiate the going on right now between us. well, companies biden,

about exporting oil from the us to europe. so, you know, that's going to cause more of a supply problem, u. s. and raise prices, even more prices are going up faster, the u. s. a. partly because the oil companies are shutting down the refineries. you know, the, they're having these a regular maintenance. and then there's the so called fires and everything. and the real bottleneck is that the refining capacity, and that's been manipulated. i believe there's nothing really different going on, except it's a good excuse to blame of the saudis and opec. i said, pointing the finger at the u. s. oil companies right before an election. and before we go, a reminder about breaking news from crimea, where 3 people have been killed after an explosion on the crimean bridge, that's according to russian investigators. it comes as a truck and detonated on the bridge, connecting mainland russia and the peninsula, causing damage to at least 2 sections, as well as

a large fire. the incident is still under investigation with rational thought. he's gathering information about the truck and it's sonya. meanwhile, ukrainian officials, as well as with the media, appear to be openly celebrating the blast while rushes foreign ministry is saying the reaction from key i've reveals it's terrorist nature will be continuing to cover this in the coming hour. so stay with us for the latest. many thanks for keeping his company here. when archie, international vol. the latest updates keep an eye on our website, r t dot com and we'll be back in 30 minutes. mm hm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms race move is on often has very dramatic development. only

personally and going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time, time to sit down and talk. oh, russia is the aggression? no. if injured much about it, we have any quality for russians. we are actual racism, bigotry, against russians. it's now dangerous to be russian than europe. so i work with as possible. is a nation suddenly be dislike, well worth the hostility always there and only now come to the for the most full

with the most for for so for do it is router will be a new one hasn't been seen before in their perspective, a given the from the allows you to promote, inform some dillion studies before the door and moving in that i need to get you started. ok, you know, people know daniel's dial. it also brings up the door could go with his i here because that's a theme is usually when you got a pretty doing was a white with consumer digital music with g teams to nutrikids wilbur. i wish you, all you gotta do is read them over the head and just tell them the right way to live near is going to do it as a whole do it before i let you move up just to be active in place. a shy many

of the kids, i tried to understand why my own colleagues used to say 9 feed person on tuition for position. i'm in some results and i discussed very deep or so public since long, long time, game it and is a well known journalist and politician. he had the geneva pres club that wrote a famous book creating lucifer b from the great religious schism to anti putin. hysteria in which he contends the rooster phobia in western europe isn't new, but has been there for centuries. to source for big narrative is set on 2 main arguments. one is russia is with dorsey. it was a tier one. the river side was a tier one during subject times and now it's to run you doing to president sure. a lot of times the 2nd phone.
