oh, a with midwest and ukrainian celebrations of the deadly bombing of the crimea bridge, russia slums. that reaction is revealing what it calls the terrorist nature of the key f regime and its nato partners with at least 2 shell. take a school and going yes, getting one of the late tests ukrainian attacks on the russian city we have from some locals who are living in the line of fire. i need to take a sleeping pill because i just can't sleep any more. ukrainian shells can hit absolutely any time. it's very scary watching or see to be installed, but this is sort of life now. we are forced to see houses collapse and people die. and in the week's top story for us, we'll make

a claim. saudi arabia as loyal bank stoppers, following the decision to slam soil outputs re, i'd say, washington is fully responsible for its own energy crisis. with a very, we're welcome. you're watching the weekly here on the international bringing you the latest world news updates along with the stories the shape, the week. the crimean bridge has reopened off to our bombing. they claimed the lives of 3 people and damaged one of the highway sections, vehicles and now crossing in both directions with the railway lines also open for call go onto passenger trains. these pictures show some of the 1st traffic that was allowed to move across following the incident. civilian cars are accompanied by police on the being thoroughly inspected before entering the bridge. while the collapse sectional highway remains closed. officials say all the other parts of the bridge on safety use. and here's the surveillance voltage on saturdays blast to the

russian anti terror committee say 3 people died in the explosion. the exact cause of the bombing is under investigation. the blog, so very briefly set a nearby fuel cargo train on fire. meanwhile, one chinese official has warned those sabotaged critical infrastructure like the bridge could spark a dangerous pattern. the explosion on creamy and bridge less than a month after a north from sabotaged, opens pandora's box of this drinking infrastructure. and once it becomes new normal, the whole world will face raising security threats. ukrainian officials and a number of western media outlets have been celebrating the dead. the explosion on the crimea bridge. russia has called the incident a terrorist act. the reaction of the key regime to the destruction of civilian infrastructure reveals its terrace nature, or they contribute to rachel martha and explains how the western and ukrainian rhetoric has been changing in recent weeks with the crimean bridge and new stream

incident, hinting possible, sabotaged the problem with the west, empowering allies to be its attack dog against russia is that sometimes the proxy manages to chew through the leash or it's harness it then starts running around doing it business all over the neighbor's yard while loudly barking its excitement and even causing simple minded creatures to bark along with it. that is until the master shows up and drags it back into the yard and gets it under control. this is exactly what seems to have happened now between the west and its allies in 3 separate recent incidents. most recently. there was the crimea bridge explosion on saturday morning in the wake of the attack, ukrainian official, celebrated on social media, crimea, the breach, the beginning. everything illegal must be destroyed. everything stolen must be returned to ukraine. everything occupied by russia must be expelled. the guided missile cruiser, muscular on the coast bridge to notorious symbols of russian power in ukrainian,

crimea of gone down. watson, that sin line russkies. representatives of european states also cheered what appeared to have been a terrorist act. i believe this target has been around for a very long time. is tonja certainly welcomes this and congratulations, ukrainian special operations units who are expected to be behind the separation motivation and luscious. that it says it's a bone for the soul. his specially given yesterday was put in se birthday is correct, he received such gift. i wish him more of such gifts that the west congratulated keith while cavalierly treating the destruction of civilian infrastructure. like it was a personal job at russian president vladimir putin on his birthday, kind of like, you know, neighborhood, teenagers had thrown raw eggs in his garage door, some western media pin, the incident on ukrainian special services effectively echoing the kremlin assertion that keith behaves like a terrorist state, but by saturday afternoon there was

a distinct shift in tone. a ukrainian official close to zalinski tried to shift blame away from heave, implying that russia blew itself up. now seriously, f is betrayed to eliminate leadership of defense ministry before personnel change effort. bees and knocked down mis put in a bridge explosion. defense minister can now blame f as b for the future. so floss isn't as o bruce who made an explosion truck arrived from russia. the pentagon for once didn't really have much to say, interestingly enough, not even some spin or encouragement in favor of ukraine as us defense secretary lloyd austin has a chronic tendency of offering up. so what accounts for the shift may be washington managed to get cave back on leach sometime during the day on saturday. a similar pattern was evident after zalinski called for a nato preemptive strike on russia last thursday shuffle we met a boy 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 by friday, zalinski was already trying to gaslight every one and pretending that he didn't actually say what he said. and i said you have to do preventive kinks. not a dex. yahoo! just goes out this short, that abba g at the of multiple of those. do abra and dune excited that image via the visa that us and the term a dual month embroidery, zekiel gabled it poor jim. so again, what happened that led zelinski to back pedal on his statement. perhaps he felt the pressure of the western hand that feeds him his end was weapons in cash. but which clearly isn't too keen on having keeps barker nuclear, a football match,

or actually setting off world war 3. also recall what happened in the wake of the attacks on the nord stream pipelines that run from russia to europe right afterwards. colin's former foreign minister tweeted, thank you usa, that host which stayed up for a few days is now deleted. amid the ongoing debate over who's actually responsible . several voices in the us, including some prominent members of the establishment, are growing less shy of overtly blaming the us for the attack. so what made sikorsky decide days later that publicly thanking his pals, america maybe wasn't such a good idea. perhaps washington made an appearance, gave him a little whack on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. russia always the text itself. they're bombing to nets, clear bombing the nuclear power plant, and they've destroyed not stream to another bridge. this is the normal key of propaganda. and 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. regent. i think they're not on the m that did not on, you know, i think van wolf, we know, for example, that of us has to confirm each target which is hit by a, by harmless work. it's, we know that did the u. s. and the britons, the brits are planning offenses of ukrainian army together with the ukrainians and such and such an act of whatever terrible war how you call it would not have been done by keith without a support or at least knowledge of the western, the supporters forming a cranium prime minister has called the acts of sabotage in moscow of they praised the bombing of the crimean bridge. i've seen that the ukrainian media that created media report that the, that this is the security service of ukraine. well,

i don't know whether it's true or no, but what am i am sure about that these bridge has to be completely on the mind collapsed and damaged. i would be delighted if those who committed these kind of right full i would see act up sabotaged. ah, they will do the same in russia. i mean, in the moscow for me to sign that there are behind this attack, the terrorist attack for me not to surprise. as the rest of the sage said in the summer, the bridge was a target for them. since a long time since it was built so. so me, it's like pointing finger to kill if without any doubt it's already a long time that ukraine has proved to be a terrorist to state. i mean,

they have keel, the several of our commanders, the head of the d, p r. we service the facts and they didn't hide about that. so it's not something you just that now. russia has to off, usually a knowledge that ukraine unitary state and treat us such. not the russians don't. yes, we're public where at least 2 civilians have been wounded off the latest ukrainian shilling of don't yet 50, according to local officials. it comes as residential areas remain on the constant attack by key forces. here's some footage showing the aftermath of one of the recent ukrainian strengths when a residential building was hit. early on saturday, local officials said at least 3 civilians were killed and 6 more wounded across the don. yes, republic. with more than 250 show said to have been fired from ukrainian positions and just one day we heard from some of the don't. yes, locals have witnessed the violence yet not at all. what i live on,

the 2nd floor have is my apartment, or rather what is left of it? in the evening where my family and i were going to sleep, i saw a bright flash smoke and dust rose. i called out into the co room, felt the warmth of my neck. i touched my head and realized that it was cut. there was a fountain of blood, but fortunately it wasn't too serious. you know, it's, this is the central street. there are different shops and 1st floor in this building and people have a bath. no, i need to take a sleeping pill because i just can't sleep anymore. ukrainian shells can headed absolutely any time the number that it is very scary watch in our city being shalt. but this is our life now. we are forced to see houses collapse and people die. and officials and don't. yes, calls us at a local school was targeted by ukrainian forces. at least 2 shells had the 3rd floor of the building causing heavy damage. no casualties have been reported as no children with that at the time of the attack. meanwhile, kiev came,

russian forces have showed civilian infrastructure in the ukrainian controlled city of g m. these are on verified images of the aftermath of the attack in which several people were killed and wounded. according to kias, russia has repeatedly denied attacking civilian infrastructure and say to the li, bombs, military targets will back stop. as that was a us lawmaker has called saudi arabia over re ads move to reduce the oil output as part of the opec plus decision the u. s has blamed the kingdom for the rising living costs in the country, but the saudi minister of state. se, washington itself is responsible for the economic crunch. while the reasons are nothing to do with crude oil supply. every kitchen table cost is going to go up, not down and i realized costs are going up from food. i was able to bring gasoline down well over a $1.60, by his engine,

not because of what the russians and the saudis not finish. the idea that 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 and decades. i'll take plus, to opted to cut the oil production by $2000000.00 barrels per day, starting next month, move cause anger among us lawmakers with calls to reexamine ties with key oil producers who they allege damaging washington. the can all make interests is comes off the years of the us praising the kingdom as a strategic partner and supplying the country with large amounts of weapons. some have even called for the us to withdraw military support from saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the paper, the decision has echoed in the european union as well. according to foreign policy,

chief, joseph burrell. the decision to cut or production was a response to the plan to adopt the price cap. this comes with brussels, announced an 8th package of sanctions on russia, which includes the price cap on further restrictions on the maritime transportation of russian crude oil on petroleum products. however, vladimir putin warned early that russia would stop exports in cases where a price cap was implemented. the host of ortiz, well depart, program marks on a boy co told is that more countries are pursuing their own interests while going against us influence. the white 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 arabian menu will be opec members

are considered traditional u. s. allies and the fact that they have pretty much ignored. 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 current division shows that even closest american alice and no longer paying attention to anything that washington is saying or doing directly pursuing their own interest. the bottom district has 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 an administration has been living happily when it's over the last year. the besides and that's 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 are 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 some risk 5, but the problem is that when you are emptying your reserves are on such a short term perspective at 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. at 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, when they, when the democrats,

when they will have to address that problem a couple of months down the line. note that when a couple of years, a couple of months, adding insult to injury, job finding himself is being marked over the unpaid production, cut off the he was caught on camera dropping the f bomb while trying to act tough during a personal chat. the president says no one apps with a bite and good appears. opec was, has done just that. i mean, other than opec bicycles, china stairs, russia, et cetera. joe biden know when 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. it's an act of short sighted foolishness. when the solution is literally right in your hand,

the relationship in the us and golf say it's 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 the sanction that prevent american companies, individuals from buying fuel. if biden was simply changing his mind, then he wouldn't have to beg saudi arabia to change their minds the years and the inflation rate to have have to double digits with food prices rising by a record high of 14 percent across the e u. it's just in the past month. the 3rd response, public outrage in several countries as protested flooded the streets in germany,

italy, austria on the check republic, demanding an end to what some called an assault on their pockets. thousands of italians had rounded, the local places a mockery and say they refused to pay some of the bills while in prague, thousands rallied against the government handling of the economy. just a day off to the summit of european leaders was held in the city. of course, in vienna, austria and say that politician should listen to their own citizens instead of playing along with lobbyists in the e. u and nato people from across the you are condemning the governments for failing to cut the price hikes pays what else? some of the european so say good have been waiting for a long time for the government to stop acting and to relieve us from these huge cos, ranging from power to basic food. and it's not all the basic food these days, but almost everything. and the government pretends everything is fine. don't the

yellow pet cat. why are we paying? because we can't take it anymore. there are people who don't have enough money for the whole month and who have to choose whether to pay the rent to pay the bills. the price increases of this last period or intolerable considering that the extra profits of corporations are getting bigger and bigger than that is don't show in the situation is very clear. now, it is very clear that due to the overall events, the war and the consequences of the actions taken against russia, we will have to deal with considerable restrictions in our industry. i assume that companies will increasingly go bankrupt. the process of insolvency has been prolonged, but this reduction cannot be maintained forever. and i assume that the middle classes in particular, will fall to their knees. if you consider that winter is just around the corner, and if you want to buy your gas system or your oil burner today, and you have deliveries in march and april, you can only imagine what is going on in people's minds so. so while i've,

when france local drive is facing long keys at the pump, says they grapple with supply problems, countries, the energy minister has admitted that at least 20 percent of french gas stations are experiencing shortages. some who is in say they're struggling to keep back, cause topped up, but we still have to know and i left paris. i did not understand because there was no gas. i went to jane, there was none there too. i came back 2 days later, there was none. and now in fact, i haven't been able to take the car out for a week because i am completely out of money. and you see people in the streets with empty jerry cans and all that. to be done, i've been to several gas stations in the last 24 hours and i'm still a bit worried about what's going on. so it's a source of general concern. you know, gas transportation is not working very well. it's worrying in germany. small businesses are being hit hard by the inflation and energy prices. economists say

the country could slide into recession within the next year. the government reportedly phase and exodus of local producers, as business becomes increasingly unprofitable in the country. the head of india is export organizations, say the crisis is now impacting trade ties with the asian country. there are visible symptoms of recession in the u. energy crisis is looming, their bias delaying orders from india. they are concerned but hopeful. let's cross live to economist and publisher. i go home and now joining us from germany, many thanks for joining for the program. it's nice to see this evening as i come, i'd like to ask you will take, oh, well, this is heading. does it look like a government prepared to put their own citizens interests 1st at a time? say, when this is heading, we can imagine when we see how much money they printed before, and what the rand corporation are,

is preparing for euro. they are preparing to crash out the german, especially the german economy because they think this is a competitor. they want to get rid of. so what we are facing is that huge bonds of money that has been created in the last 10 years is coming to a decree supply of a good. and so this is which, because they were somewhat touched by the politic, especially the european and the berlin of the german government. so what we are facing now is a huge inflation, where nobody see the end. and this means that especially the middle, that so the small and medium sized companies who are owned by the owner of base the bankruptcy, us, we some or touched by the politics. and this means that we are definitely slipping into a huge recession, but not only base with their recession in germany, the anti european product move blow apart because there's nothing else about the

monitoring plot against germany. so where we are facing, we are facing to something that nobody really wanted respect apart from the american to don't care what's up with euro. there are people who are both into their networks. they don't care and they're continue with this program. and like, according to bloomberg europe, pains are increasingly resorting to firewood to heat their homes. now, how bad do you expect things to really get this upcoming winter? well, according to the politicians and to facing that, they exchanged knowledge to ideology. so they really got rid of all the people who had a slightly knowledge left in the industry. so when i'm paid, i'm hoping of nothing good because we are really having people who don't know nothing. they are really empty out of ideas or empty of knowledge. so what we have

ambiguous, exactly what we already facing now. so what is going on? we are the, the people have to pay with and they don't get energy. they don't get more money. they are wrapped by the highest taxes in the world are the highest payments to the government in the world. and this doesn't sound very good. we have seen this already in before the 1st world war. and normally we didn't want to have these bags, but they are doing the same mistakes again. now, the recent meeting, if you are a pianist in prague, it was supposed to be focused on working out the common solution to the economic crisis. do you think there's enough unity among those countries, those who come to a common consensus? well actually they were not well, they were working on a solution for the people they were. they were only working on as soon as the solution themselves. and for all the money for the european barrack right and the

american body. but they were not working for a solution for the, for the european, especially in the german people. so of course they will come, nothing good. so everything what may try to do. and so on, that won't change anything because they don't even try to do something good for the people that reduce the energy imports from russia and some european countries in the us allies, the seeking support from arab and african states instead to house out working out for them so far, it doesn't work at all. look way we have no gas prices in germany who are higher than when the oil price was nearly 50 percent higher than today. so why all the gas price is now higher than that? it is only because of the politics and their taxes and so on, and don't, don't expect anything good from them to come. no, they don't even want to do anything against the inflation because they think they

can get, get rid of their that when they make the favor, especially the german savings pay for that that. and that's what they want. interest low inflation very high. and they think they can get rid of that. so everything, what they do is just to come down the people that they don't go to the street because they get it that they are up by the people economist on publishing. i go home many thanks for your time. appreciate where you can think that mark will hold a general election in november. 7 months ahead of schedule with appointment is to facing renewed pressure over the 2020 mink scandal. method fredrickson has called a snap election starting november. the 1st is polling day. she came on the fire off her government, all the slaughter of the country. 17000000 mink population believing they were

carry as of a mutated variance of the corona virus. but it turned out that the scientists were wrong and the decision was found to be a law for prompting a public backlash. while frederickson and her social democratic party are expected to talk, the po analysts say they're likely to lose that parliamentary majority. we spoke to the danish, pakistani, also on anti racism campaign. a bash karachi who says the danish p. m is trying to say face the prime minister was in the parliament after the debate and she had to close that. and she acknowledge there. they have made several mistakes in the handling of mink killing. but she said she was quite arrogant. then she said that what we did is we did to save the public, meaning that killing of me was necessary

in our spread and cause more corona in the country. so she, in inwardly did not accept that it was a legal issue or a question of economic incompetency. but i think she wanted to tell people that i'm a strong prime minister and did in the interest of the public. and there was some news just in from a stumble now, where a fire has engulfed a 3 story residential building. a massive explosion was reported. the eye witnesses say the blaze has also spread to at least 2 nearby buildings firefighters are at the scene with ambulance. the ambulance is also present to help any victims, the exact number of which is not yet known, but we'll be keeping you up to date on this developing stories and stay with us about the okay,

some breaking news for you. now. the chief, a russian investigator said the crimean bridge attack, which occurred on saturday morning, came as a result of ukrainian special services. and the now will be keeping you up today to on all the latest information on this breaking news story is just in is fresh news. so say with those in the coming hours, but more on that well the back at the top of the hour with more so we'll see you then. mm hm. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an armed.
