all nobody's says to submit. i alluded what i see, the student bosses, the room q malaysian says diesel tutorial, gumbo sub ah, the crimean bridge reopens for vehicles and trains across the coast straits after a deadly explosion on saturday morning with many in the west and ukraine, celebrating the explosion in russia as long as the reaction as revealing, quote, the terrorist, the nature of the key, every monday, nato partners and in the stories that shaped the weaker us lawmakers from saudi arabia as while back stabbers following the opec plus decision to slash oil outputs . we are, those says the u. s. is fully responsible for the energy crisis in the country with became of us. those lead up please. the country after

anti french sentiment among citizens on the military lead a q last with it's very much for joining us for the weekend here on our t international. i'm peter scott bringing you some of the top stories from the week just gone. welcome to the program. but 1st we start off with the crimean bridge, which is reopened after that deadly explosion on saturday morning. now because i've already started crossing with the railway section, also open for cargo and passenger trains. now, here are some of the latest pitches cause you can see and are heading in both directions, accompanied by traffic. police russian officials say that a successful test run show that the bridge is safe, although one section of the crossing which is the most heavily damaged, of course, remains closed. all vehicles and trains are being carefully inspected before going

on to the bridge. and here is some surveillance footage of the blast itself. the russian anti terror committee says that 3 people died in the explosion, the exact cause of which is still under investigation. the attack destroyed 2 sections of roadway and such a nearby cargo. you will train on fire. one chinese official warned that sabotage of critical infrastructure could spot a dangerous pattern. explosion. crimean bridge less than a month after a nurse from sabotaged, opens pandora's box and destroying keen for structure. and once it becomes new normal, the whole world will face raising security threats. meanwhile, many western media outlets have been celebrating the deadly bombing of the bridge. the daily mail, for example, called it a birthday president for vladimir putin who did sent for the 70 on the eve of the attack, almost been described as his prized bridge. some headlines say the crossing is a symbol of russian occupation and called the bombing

a blow to putin's war efforts. the slovak police even went further comparing the attacks, the results of the recent referendums that so for new regions, join russia, while u. k. tabloid of the sun and some ukraine you, me to suggest that key of special forces were behind the bombing, his rushes response to that. the reaction of the key regime to the destruction of civilian infrastructure reveals its terrace nature. they are really keen to emphasize that this is a blow for russia, that this is a devastating tragedy for vladimir putin and what a great presence just see, you know, ah, twist the knife a little bit more about again, even though no one is confirming that ukraine was behind that were seen some countries in particular in europe. not only alluded to the fact that it was indeed ukraine, but they're also applaud in them for it. i believe this target has been around for a very long time. it's tanya certainly welcomes this and congratulations, ukrainian special operations units who are expected to be behind the separation

motivation. alicia said it's a suitable for the soul, especially given yesterday was put in person these curricular research, such gifted dogs. i wish him more of such gifts to present the scene. go, can you imagine of something like this happened in the united states or in israel or in any other country in fact? and then you would hear statements like that it's, it's a despicable really, especially when we know that 3 people died, people lost their lives. and this is what i mean when, when russia is saying that this reaction coming from the ukraine and also those who are supporting it's a broad this shows the toxicity of kias regime and that success, city of the west, and also the terrorist nature of key of that regime of the latest, the photos that were seen emerging from ukraine. our people actually taken selfies in front of a banner. we can see it right now, a banner that they've put up all the explosions on the bridge. and what's interesting is how fast they managed to to get our banner up there. but also we're

now seeing reports online that the photo of this banner was actually circulating back in september. of course, we know that the bridge was a targets all along, that there is no secret to that. and they would love to, to blow up because of course, it's linking russia to crimea. so again here we saw that the 2nd largest banker in ukraine is already issuing debit cards featuring of the collapse bridge. so there is happiness all around that this happened. let's not forget that 3 people died. but again, this doesn't concern them. they're just, they're tweeting things like, let's start by taking a look at some of the suites we saw coming out as early as this morning. first of all, we have the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine. here he is saying, good morning ukraine and a side by side of the bridge on fire, and marilyn monroe sing, and happy birthday miss the president, of course, alluding to the fact that this is

a great gift for vladimir putin 70th birthday. and then we had the ukraine security service that sweets it on the bridge is burn and well greetings from ukraine's armed forces and not to day is a great occasion. and we heard from zalinski residential advisor at this summer. he said that the bridge itself is a target and will be at socket and they will try to destroy it as soon as they could do in fluid. we don't care about the crimean breach. once we perceive 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 targeted a point where synergy. and it seems that they found the opportunity and the way to do it. and they did just fats, even though now again, they're saying that somehow russia did it, and this somehow helps us out on our knowing what way, shape or form this would help russia. but again, those are the latest claims from

t if following an initial outburst of praise for the attack, ukraine's presidential adviser then suggested the incident was staged as parts of a power struggle between russia's defense ministry on the fs b. however, the washington post has revealed a ukrainian government official admitted the key of special forces were behind the bombing. earlier, journalist thomas roper told my colleague nikki, are in this, it would be odd if russia, with the targets its own infrastructure. russia always the text itself, they're bombing to net, they're bombing the nuclear power plant and they destroyed not stream to another bridge list. the normal key of propaganda in you can look at history every, every time and conflict, something like this happens. ah, it's the well, the enemy, who did it, and trying to blame somebody else, it's obvious that russia wouldn't blow the bridge. it needs himself for, for supporting the crimea. regional thing is pass all that the u. s. was also aware chance to bond the crimean bridge, considering the training officials have quoted

a legitimate target finance. now working there, not only m that did not, not only know i think van wolf um, we know for example that of us has to confirm each tire, which has hit by how much rockets we know that did the u. s. and the britons, the grits are planning offenses of ukrainian arrow together with the ukrainians and such and such an act of whatever taro. a war how you call it. i would not have been done by keith without a support or at least knowledge of the western god. supporters. when president zalinski is now i'd have a back pedaling on his comments, calling for a preemptive nato strike on russia. now he claims he was simply misunderstood. and i said, you have to do preventive kinks, nodded x e r, or just because i think sure that amber g at there as an article and those do apprehend illness. and it remedied there was that as an attribute don't want to

improve ridicule. keeble did. poor jim volume is lensky insists. he was just urging the west to impose more sanctions, claiming the kremlin is preparing society for the possible use of nuclear weapons. he added that he would never call for nuclear armageddon as that would equate him to a terrorist. the wedding he used, however, does translate literally from ukrainian as preemptive strikes. there was little criticism from the west of the box if words of the ukrainian leader. meanwhile, russian officials say they are unconvinced by zalinski backtracking could lead me lean young child to her full. and as a bespeak shopper when metal with 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 him to wait for rushes nuclear strikes and then say, oh no. okay, then take this yard. jura, yesterday,

zalinski called on his western masters to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on russian. 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 sorted attempts by zalinski secretaries to claim that he meant something else. a ridiculous spitzer enlist 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. kirk when you show of you. now this comes as joe biden says, that the risk of nuclear armageddon is at his highest since the 1962 cuban missile crisis. we discussed the issue with a panel of guests. if there was any doubt thus far, he is unhinged. i am concerned for his mental health. he is obviously willing to risk nuclear armageddon to preserve his regime. and i don't think that russia

or other state leaders are dealing with him can any longer consider him to be irrational actor. and we also have to take this in the context of his recent actions. he has ordered his military forces in the law over the last 2 months to continually shell and attack with kamikaze drones. the zappa rosure nuclear power plant, whatever his absurd denials to the contrary. if western leaders do not immediately denounce his statements and back away from it, i think we have to consider them complicit if they go tax in any way. russia, that's a 3rd world war because russia is going to retaliate against all nato member states . and that would be the end of, of europe and perhaps over humanity once we start playing these kinds of games. and

i cannot understand why the leaders of the, of the west are urging themselves to commit suicide. i cannot understand that. i don't think they've learned last since from history because i don't, i don't think they know history. i mean that especially in the united states. yeah . i mean, we should look to the cuban missile crisis for how to get out of it. you know, john f kennedy worker, you know, he worked hard to negotiate a deal with crew chef. it was a given take. he agreed not to attack cuba. he agreed to take nuclear weapons out of turkey in return for crews aching the missiles out of cuba. that is, it had been negotiation. we need to day. but you don't see any of that happening from the u. s. you don't see the u. s helping i to negotiate

a solution and back you see them interfering to prevent solution from being agreed to. so that is very, very troubling and not the latest from the russian region of done yet. square civilian was wounded of the ukrainian army, shelter, the sense of the regions capital. let's take a look of some of the latest images from the scene. the socket, a residential building, the streets were fortunately mostly empty, with one person wounded in their home. this comes as officials say that 3 civilians were killed and 5 wounded in ukrainian attacks across the dentist republic on saturday. meanwhile, ukraine has said that russian forces have shelled a civilian structure infrastructure in the city of zappa, georgia. these are verified images of the aftermath of the attack with kiev, claiming multiple people have been killed or injured. bush and officials are yet to comment on that incident. the done yet, scandal guns, republics. as well as the guests on unzip,

osha regions are now parts of russia following the signing of official documents by president putin. on wednesday, the edification comes at the locals in the territories voted in favor of the move and russian lawmakers, along with the nations constitutional cult ratified the joining of the new regions . however, ukraine on these western allies have condemned the referendums as a gentleman sham and refused to recognize the results. which is that ministry of defense says they have evidence that ukrainian forces have been using informants to identify targets. and that includes civilians are eager to janice, vote to one man who revealed places of mass gatherings to obtain a reward. and now he faces up to 2 decades in prison. we should warn you that in this report there is a person who's in custody and he could be speaking under duress, bribes and brainwashing, are the favorite tools of key of intelligence agents on the russian home front in the dawn bass. they look for people eager to sell the lives of their neighbors for

a thin wood of bills. dennis here is one of those who fell for the temptation. me a whistle somewhat of long. i went up for a walk. with my doke, i saw a guy. i asked him for a cigarette and he gave it to me when i talked to him and he offered me a job. i asked him what kind of job. he said nothing much. i just need addresses whether a mass gatherings of people, young. i went to look and gave him the address and he went to check when he returned, he said that he was satisfied with everything and offered me the equivalent of $80.00 for one address. but locations of russia's military excuse or supply depos were of no interest for this client. all he wondered, was where mass gatherings of civilians were in a town cut off from water and electricity supply. there can be only

a handful of such places, mainly points of humanitarian aid distribution, whole piles of her baby, food, diapers, and medicine. leave no questions as to what this place used to be. this sports arena was repurposed, it served as a major warehouse for humanitarian aid, where the whole town of several dentist flocked to because that was something that they badly needed and still badly need. but now it stands all destroyed and burned down to ashes by the ukrainian military. this is one of the 1st places obliterated by ukraine's artillery. shortly after denise submitted the information by then it had dawned on him already what he was responsible for and who his mysterious contact was. he wasn't phased by the realization though, and stuck to his newly found blood business of m. m. o. one after he gave me the money and left, there was shelling at this address and i heard from people that civilians died.

that over then he asked for more addresses. i found a hostile, where civilians were given water and gave the address to him. in 2 days later, there was shelling there after he was interested in other addresses and gave him the address of the hotel where humanitarian aid was given out. a thick stench of ash is still very present in the air here. this is one of the places that the ukrainian military had destroyed off to getting an anonymous tip off. apparently it came from someone who relocated to several minutes from western ukraine. it came from over there, but the locals here, they don't know why the man the foreman chose this place, because according to them, the military, the russian soldiers, they have never been here. dennis hands tremble now as he faces up to 20 years in jail for state treason. they didn't shake. they didn't slip though when he was providing more coordinates, which entailed another deadly strike organ renewal,

there was a strike over there. one unexploded shell is still stuck on the roof. then another strike came over there. the guy was sitting here, it was around 10 p. m. he was killed by a fragment. for the 1st time dennis has the opportunity to look in the eye of a person. he marked as a target on caves artillery maps, as a play, a short message, the victim passed with us for soldiers to those people are scum. what else can be said about them? people rebuild the infrastructure and they keep destroying it. and it looks like the showings come with the help of informers over poor lawful. it's too late. now. there's nothing to return to the ukrainian command has been systemically, targeting vital civilian infrastructure elements in this war. toontown, a mac is done of reporting from the don boss, r t royal back stabbers, we're, that's what

a u. s. lawmaker has called a saudi arabia. overreacts moved to reduce oil outputs of following the opec plus decision. the u. s. has blamed the kingdom for rising living cost in the country where the saudi minister of state says that america itself is responsible for high prices. and the reasons are nothing to do with crude oil supplies. every kitchen table costs is going to go up, not down. and i realized costs are going up front food. i was able to bring gasoline down well over a $1.60 birds, his engine, not because of what the russian assad is not finishing the idea that turntable in today would do this to harm the u. s. o to be in any way politically involved is absolutely not correct at all was to respect the reason you have high prices in the united states is because you have the refining shortage that has been in existence for more than 20 years. you haven't built refineries in decades. opaque plus opposite cuts, oil production by $2000000.00 barrels per day, starting next month. the move caused the anger among us lawmakers with calls to re

examine ties with key oil producers, who they allege a damaging washington's economic interests. this comes up the years of the earth, praising the kingdom as a strategic partner and supplying the country with large amounts of weapons. some of even called on the us to withdraw military support from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the opaque plus decision has echoed in the you as well. according to foreign policy chief, your set burrell, the decision to cut oil production was a response to the e. you plan to adopt a price cap. this comes as a brussels announced. it's 8 package of sanctions against russia, which includes a price cap and further restrictions on the maritime transportation of russian crude oil. busy and petroleum products over what he may, putin warned earlier that russia would stop by exports, in cases where price caps were implemented that was to parties will depart,

oksana boycotts holders more countries are pursuing their own interest going against us, influence. it has already described this move as a hostile act, and it's a very interesting wording because if you start from a promise that the rest of the world is supposed to be serving your interest and everything that's for your interest would be for. so act, but i want to remind you, i'm sure our viewers also know that, that saudi arabia, in many of the opec members are considered traditional u. s. allies and the fact that they have pretty much ignore it. very, very active american law being shows that things are changing in the world and countries are starting to pursue their own interest. a white house has yet again tried to put all the blame on russia, but i think the, the current division shows the even closest american alice no longer paying attention to anything that washington is saying or doing directly pursuing their own interest by them. ministration has been everything to alley and made my menu

with allies. the ear is the only one that seems to be left in the so called american camp. and surprisingly, the ear is, you know, in the book of countries it has absolutely no oil reserve. it would be interesting to see how they will be doing with, with that situation. certainly they will be blaming russia. but i mean, again, you cannot warm up with the homes of your citizens with blaming somebody. so it's, we are also very, very interesting times, unlike the year the united states does have its own strategic all reserves and the bite in administration has been living happily when it's over the last year. the, besides the reserve diminished by almost a 3rd from more than 600000000 barrels to some with about 400000000 barrels. and the vitamin ministration announce yet again, that they're going to release another $10000000.00 to try to heat to try to ease the markets and those, those additional barrels will hit the market right around the time of the mid term

elections that may provide respite. but the problem is that when you are emptying your reserves on, on a such a short term perspective, the time to pay for that will come and it will come very soon because those reserves will have to be replenished and they will have to be replenished with much higher prices, so it's essentially they are trying to use that strategic reserves to aid the biden's standing in the polls. but even if they win, even the democrats, when they will have to address that problem a couple of months down the line on them in a couple of years, a couple of months went to add insult to injury. joe biden himself is be much over the opec production cuts us after he was cold speaking on a microphone during his a trip to florida. oh, okay. president says no one apps with abiding good and peers. opec plus has done just that. i mean, other than opec bicycles, china stairs,

russia, et cetera. joe biden, no one the biden. opec. when you start begging, you know, the gulf states when you start beg, middle eastern countries have changed their already declared policies. it's an act of desperation as an act of shortsighted foolishness. when the solution is literally right in your hand, the relationship in the us and gulf say to not been particularly good. at any point in recent memory, we have regimes that are propped up by the united states, but still resent the united states for their infiltration and meddling. so it's not that the that the relation has gotten considerably worse. they just weren't very good to begin with. with bite and try to convince them to change their mind. it's really showing that he himself was unwilling to change his mind. all that would need to happen to end the fuel shortage is to get rid of all distinction that

prevent american companies, individuals from buying fuel. if biden was simply change his mind, then he wouldn't have to beg, saudi arabia to change their minds. finally, burkina, faso is ousted, leader has fled to the neighboring west africa country of togo, after military few less than they forced him to resign. no one of the reasons for the rising is said to be widespread disdain for the country's cooperation with former colonial rule of france, military overthrow of the government is the 2nd period. the bacchanal. facile has seen in just a month. supporters of the new government to the streets, to celebrate showing their discontent with funds by stuffing part of the french embassy on fire, which is i could even be seen in the crowds. those people called for the country to step away from france and then stronger ties with the nations that we've been working with france for a long time in the end. it's a bloody situation. people are starving. people are eating while tree lee. it's

from who's responsible. they better move back, but we will look for another partner, city, lepeu flesh. oh no more france. our choice is russia. france is stealing from us soon. we are starving. life costs are very expensive, but russia would be nice to work with. france, just plunder our resources. are france claims to help us, but it's not true. so france is depriving us ruining us. they should leave our country now. we need russia. no jobs, no money, no business. we are poor. i sort of get it. we are unemployed, and the whole day we have nothing at all to do. and i never the cool in between the fossil is the 2nd one this year, but the anti french sentiment has never been higher. many of the residents of the former french colony believed that france has a hand in the current situation in the country. france denies any involvement in the events occurring since yesterday in burkina faso, the french fos. his camp has never had paul on re sal good to me, but stay there,

nor has our embassy. the new government, led by 34 year old captain ibrahim trial warri believes that france is helping the ousted leader lieutenant colonel dunbar is believed to have taken refuge in the french base at cam boynton in order to plan a counter offensive to stir up trouble in our defense and security forces, but it is not just the people of booking the fossil. many of the former french colonies seem to find reason to dislike france. they dislike the colonial nation that paris has with their governments. and there has also been anti french protest . they, the summer france claims miserably to its former african colonial empire, which it planters exploits its resources, and instigates clues kills their heads of state ignites terrorism and fuels, wars and genocides. but gina fossil expected assistance and protection from france . and his luck just watching the fossil other countries in the region did 2 in the

j, the sentiment is the same. there are anti french slogans because we demand the immediate departure of the ball cane, forcing niger, which is alienating our sovereignty and destabilizing the saw here. the rise of the slick insurgency in the us a hell region is one of the reasons why france has come under fire. molly was left to fend for itself at the front, seemingly couldn't lift a finger to help them with the security in the region. molly had several pieces of evidence that these flagrant violations of malin airspace have been used by france to collect intelligence for the benefit of terrorist groups operating in the cell and to drop arms and ammunition to them. piece of security and stability of notoriously been elusive in this reason of africa. despite the influence of france and several former french colonies have had enough, they have started looking elsewhere for new partnership in their fight for sovereignty and peace in the region. gobble it had oddity in china's back.

well, those are just some of the stories that shape the week a on our t do. check our website for more. my name is peter scott. i bought with another look at the top of the hour in with i don't see this conflict as being one over values. that's not to say that there might not be differences in values between elements of the us population or elements of the u. s. leadership. and elements of the russian population in russia leadership, there may well be some differences, but i don't see this conflict as having to do with that. i see this primarily as really, frankly, a proxy war on russia's border that is being pursued by the u. s. and the neo powers mm

ah, with bruton is the aggressor who chose his war. today i'm authorizing the additional strong sanctions with showing that i speak on the billing is pretty much the morning. the rebranding. all imports of russian, oil and gas combined and imposing these sanctions. i brochure no has destroyed the american factors. boomerang, i raise suffering, the, i mean, they key interest really hitting people in the pocketbook. boys or girls was on those. there. are you using or is your, your room.
