combos with ah, with we will take serious steps to provide an adequate response, can measure it with the levels of threats to the russian federation. no one should have any doubts about that. that him had heard and compose ukraine's options, primarily in crimea, and other border regions to terrorism against russia. the warns they will evoke 8 half response of the remarks commas. russia conducts an enormous missile strike operation on ukrainian targets, including military command centers and energy facilities. over this, our hero naughty minced report, that both the president of bella roost and russia have agreed to deploy a joint regional military contingent. more details in just

a moment was also discussed the possible ramifications with for me, rory, sushi and the entire r t news team a very good evening from moscow, straight to the top stories right now. as we do continue breaking news coverage here. we're naughty international. so good to have you with us is vladimir putin has vowed a serious and reciprocal response to any threats made to russia. he made the remarks during a meeting of the national security council commenting on the latest round of missile strikes against you crane. soon it will dump this morning upon the initiative of the defense ministry and strikes using high precision weapons from land. see an error carriers were made against objects in the ukrainian territory was we will take serious steps to provide an adequate response. can measure it with the levels of threats to the russian federation. no one should have any doubts about that. meanwhile,

the latest media reports claim and other wave of miss all stripes and key f and other ukrainian cities. earlier today, russia launched dozens of missiles targeting critical infrastructure all across the country. and the defense ministry of moscow says that all designated targets work it the as we understand targets were struck in at least 15 cities and ukranian officials report the 5 regions are currently without power of a country says it will stop exporting electricity to the you from tomorrow or president soleski also confirm that key energy systems have been impacted the thermal power station and kia, suffering from a strike with large plumes of smoke billowing up the facility. i wonder lensky

adviser reported that missiles hit close to the presidential office and ukraine's security services headquarters, both in the capital court and say, 10 people were killed and dozens more wounded. in key f, locals have been sharing photos on reactions to the missiles strikes they witness ah. the footage there from the proper troughs get so whether cities, thermal power plant has been badly damaged in a rocket strike. now let's head west western ukrainian city of laval for this footage shows smoke caused by a missile attack and that area, as we understand now, the cities be left without power and for now without water as well while remaining and don't bath is all corresponding eager to dine off, he'll take us through now the major development of the missile stripes on ukraine

today. basically at least 5 ukrainian regions, whole regions have been completely cut off from the energy great hand. i mean, this is just the tip of the iceberg. there are energy shortages pretty much all across ukraine. now also, water shortages have been reported in many regional centers and smaller towns and villages. and again, the locals and the citizens of ukraine have been officially urged by the authorities to judge their phones in advance to get their power banks ready and to get warm clothes. because again, the situation is very serious. it's still under assessment. but it, oh yeah, i can already same quite definitively that while the damage has been quite extensive, now it will take more than that, or that more than what russia has done to completely take out ukraine's energy systems and again, other facilities can be repaired. but again, russia can deal more damage with more strikes and so the situation is very serious

for the ukrainians and the well, they are panicking, it's safe to say in care of we've seen massive cues, a people lining up to gas stations, trying to get as much petrol as they can, our people have been sweeping goods off the shelves of the supermarkets, mainly canned foods and water because well again, there's, there are shortages of running water in the taps. this was something that the ukrainians had hoped to see in russia's crimea after they attacked it after a successful attack on the crimean bridge. that didn't happen there. and now that russia's retaliating while they're panicking, and that's despite reports that foreign and cia intelligence, mainly the british intelligence, had apparently, reportedly warned the key of authorities of a missile strike being prepared in moscow. but well, even if they were indeed av well, if they were, if they indeed knew about the strike, i mean the authorities, they did nothing to alert the population about it. they woke up to air raid sirens,

and many were just out and about doing there to stay going about their daily routine. i should say. so are the ra civilian casualties, of course. and there are people wounded, nobody it did this attack did catch people of god, now of foreign. now foreign powers are also reacting to the while to this missile strike of an unprecedented scale are the e. u is urgently pulling out. it's a diplomatic missions in the u. s. has urged all of its citizens to leave ukraine as quickly as possible. so did japan, we're expecting more reaction, as well as people are in the near the united states wake up and as you're, as the business day starts in europe. now interestingly enough, russia used at least 5 types, may be more of munitions for this strike, including a rushes caliber miss aisles. and this is interesting because we're an individual

who's full in a to the, to the charms of ukraine's propaganda. that would be a surprise for them because since march ukrainian propagandists have been proposing that well, russia has run out almost run out of these caliber missiles. now today's strike proves them wrong. again, we're about to see as to what happens next. if this is a major shift in rushes of foreign policy in russia as well, just approach to waging war on ukraine or if this is just indeed just retaliation because ukraine has significantly stepped up a tax on russia civilian infrastructure in the past weeks they've been shelling ah, russia's boarded towns and cities in small villages shelling just people's homes. people's houses are they even shelled a monastery. but the crowning jeweler of all this, so to speak, was an attack on crime. he has bridget for the russian government. it is more than just a and, and for structural object. it is a symbol,

a symbol that crimea is russia, that it is part of russia is tevin connected to the mainland, and that russia is not going anywhere. so when you crane, according to the words of the russian president vladimir putin chose to attack the crimean bridge, well, it wasn't received well here in russian. he, in the dorm bass among the population. so it is widely seen that today's strike is indeed retaliation. and basically moscow, vladimir putin under the defense ministry showing that when ukraine and a few crane crosses more red lines, the reaction will be maybe even disproportionate. but adequate? we heard earlier from a former new zealand deputy foreign minister mat robinson, he told my colleague, union o'neill that there could be a crimea bridge attack, which is one of the reasons why russia is now stepping it up. russia has had to widen it's response on that sir. understandable? um, the bombing of the old of the attack on the,

on the crime in bridges. but what one aspect of the, the build up and the constant flow of arms and weapons, and training and intelligence by the united states and its allies, to consciously try and widen the wool. i can see myself, little rushes at the no choice. so it's not just the bridge, it's the whole escalation, but spin, fostered by the united states and nato. i am reading that ukraine's presence lensky has issued a and national address, telling everyone to quote tick cover. but no military response has yet been announced. do you think, mr. anson, that is ukraine waiting for the attacks to and or for props a policy decision by western allies? or is it coming up with a plan? how do you foresee the reaction? is the latter in the key of government is not a, an independent government. the president zelinski has shown that his, he's

a puppet on the, he tries to pull the strings himself about, he's a small fish. she's being directed from western governments. this escalates, it can no longer be a war for by the ukrainian forces that you've been using as kevin father in this conflict, quite deliberately, quite cynically. you've got to be faced with looking at putting your own troops in there, escalating your own forces. if, if that is the policy that particularly london and washington follow, and i believe that also the other allies in the nato camp will be very nervous at this escalation, which could, of course, spill over into their own territories. russia, as president vladimir putin has acquainted ukraine to that of a terrorist organization. he made those comments during the meeting of the national security council. more details. novela correspondent, marina costs are the main gist of what he said today was that it was only

a matter of time before russia responded. this morning. we saw this massive wave of air strikes on different ukrainian cities. but he really emphasized and summed up in fact, the terrorist nature of those in charge of ukraine now, so that people understand the reason behind what we saw happen in ukraine. he's get isn't, was it? the key of regime has long resorted to terrorists methods, such as the assassination of activists, journalists, and scientists, both in ukraine and russia. this also includes the terrors shelling of the don best cities and also nuclear terrorism. the artillery shelling of this apparition, nuclear power plant, who benefits from these attacks. the kev regime has placed itself among the most tutorial, international terrorist organizations. now this of course comes just hours after russia's chief investigator informed vladimir putin, that ukrainian special services were behind the terrorist attack on the bridge

premier. and also it was facilitated by not only russian citizens, but also foreign citizens. they know who did it. they know the roots, they took, for example, the truck that exploded it came from bulgaria, but with georgia, then armenia through russia, north, such the other cross our region. and basically vladimir putin said that russia has had enough, and now it will respond to any attack that happens on russian soil. and really, ukraine had a long time coming because we've seen ukraine attack russia in many ways. and vladimir putin actually accused ukraine of nuclear terrorism. this is what he focused on and he brought forth some of the examples due to the speech. there have been multiple acts of sabotage on our power plants. several high voltage power lines have been effected. the damage was contained as soon as possible, so there was no significant aftermath. there was also a number of attempted terrorist attacks committed on russian electricity and gas

transport infrastructure. so it shouldn't be surprising that ukraine this morning saw their energy, military and communications facilities targeted and latimer, putin said, if you take russia, get ready to be attacked back. that was the main message i spoke earlier with canadian jonas if a bartlett who has been in the don't escrow public actually since march, she gave us her take on today's missile strikes on key f. the russian leadership have been the cool that's, i mean we've seen people been saying, why hasn't russia retaliated for months now, right. and particularly since the territory of the bridge, then there was a lot of people asking what's gonna happen next. but i mean, i really feel like i'm here and done. yeah, i'm in the john bout people here. i've been saying for over 8 years and why, when is it enough? when you print stuff showing us and russia, the russian leadership did push for negotiations and they all right,

until the session military operation began. there were options for kids to take a peaceful route and they because of their backers, because there are literally didn't take those options. people and you pray must be clarified and i am very sorry for them. i really am and i, i'm, i'm sorry for any loss of life. however, i will say that according to one source i read, it was citing ukrainian police. it was on r t actually thing 10 people had been killed. that is a normal day here on september 19th, for example, your training shelling of the center of done yet killed 16 people in the face of less than one week from the 17th of september to the 22nd. the pregnant showing killed 26 people. that's just in the nest proper, you know, i'm not talking about for la are my teeth are other areas that are and again, this is the terror that people been living here for over 8 years. and i've been here often since march, you know, and there been huge ukrainian terror attacks. terrorism is exactly the word to be

using here. let me put in is not wrong in that terror attacks on markets in the center of done yes. in areas where there be no military infrastructure. so i hope that maybe the people that were gleefully taking selfies and photos in front of images destroyed perfectly destroyed bridge. i hope that those people may be, can now step back and have a little passion. well, the, the russian president, alexander, to look shanker, has now said that his country will deploy a joint group of military forces with russia. these forces have been formed over the past 2 days. the group mainly consists of bella, lucy, and soldiers. we were warned that kia has been planning to attack bela lucy and territory. it would be crazy from a military perspective for them to open the front against bella. ruth. but that process has already begun, considering that the threat level has comes to that. this requires deployment of a joint group of forces of the union state of russia and bella, ruth, mister,

look shanker suggested that the troops coming from russia would not be significantly large, but added it would be, quote, not a 1000 troops. also order the nation secret services to do whatever it takes to prevent a quote, terror fuckin' bella ross and declared that ukraine would face a nightmare of consequences if a dead to attack bella russian territory. now the latest from the european commission chief of vandalay, and she says that russia is using strength and brutality as a weapon and commenting on today's strikes. russia once again as shown to the world, what it stands for, it is carol and good tell those who are responsible have to be held accountable. ukrainians will not be intimidated and ukrainian snow that we will stand by our side side as long as it's in other reactions. germany announced that will be providing ukraine with cutting edge defense systems. the u. k is foreign minister,

branded monday's missile strikes as unacceptable. and the by the ministration condemned of the russian strikes while the stone, your prime minister, depicted russia. but the country used to deploying terrorist tactics and also pledged full support for ukraine. i spoke with a political commentator anthony web. he says, the miss all strikes are not terribly surprising, given at least that of the attack or north stream, or even that of the crimean coach bridge because it goes back to the destruction of the company that has a special merch tree operation as opposed to our wall, under course, what's been happening is the zone and ski governor. this is been sort of going out of line with probably i think it's got to the stage now why you don't have a attract the infrastructure of russian solving. sudden,

obviously they're going to be consequences and you call the bible bridge without stretching similar action. meanwhile, following the strikes, kiev says it will have to be forced to stop electricity exports to the e. u from tomorrow. also talk russian politicians have been put on the wanted list in ukraine, including the ex president to meet with the foreign ministry spokesman. maria is a hot of a and the federation that council speak valentino must be in call. now ukrainian presidential adviser has demanded more weapons from key as allies in response to today's attacks. and the use foreign policy chief has promised more support is on the way deeply shocked by russia's attacks on civilians in kiev and other cities and ukraine. such acts have no place in the 21st century. i condemned them in the strongest possible terms. we stand with ukraine,

additional military support from the e. u is on its way. meanwhile, germany is preparing measures against iran in support of local anti government protest in that country. but that comes, it is, as it actually ignores widespread protested home over soaring prices. let's get the thoughts and opinion of antsy contributor rachel marston. the european union is keen on sanctioning one of the west long time regime change targets. iran, amid ongoing protests in the country, and berlin seems eager on leading the charge with the demand for an you wide travel ban and asset freeze of those that considers responsible. berlin should know 1st hand how sanctions can backfire and inadvertently target the people of a country. since that's pretty much what's happening right now in germany and across the u. under the blocks own anti russian sanctions, which were supposed to have target to russia, but ended up ultimately targeting their own energy supplied resources. but it

doesn't sound like the german foreign minister is going to let reason get in the way of her ideological bender. we will ensure that the even poses entry benz on those responsible for this brutal repression and fries their assets in the you. we say to people in iran, we stand and remain by your side. france, denmark, spain, italy, and the czech republic have joined germany and tabling 16 new sanctions proposals against iran. maybe germans, another you citizens in the streets, protesting the eggs, floating cost of living as a result of russel's cellphone po, sanction straight jacket. she just pack up and head over to iran if they want to be heard or cared about. because the german foreign minister apparently doesn't have much of an interest in their plate when they protest the actions of their bureaucratic overlords. here at home in europe, here she is speaking at a democracy conference last month. i give the promise to people in ukraine. we

stand with you as long as you need us. then i once to deliver no matter what my german vote a thing you leaders routinely but selectively proclaim their solidarity, was citizens all around the world slapping on sanctions and shipping weapons in the interests of defending democracy. freedom and human rights, but when your opinions citizens try to catch the attention of their own leaders by demonstrating against western policies than the same establishment, considers them the threat. when the same citizens choose leaders who don't blindly cow to brussels as they did recently in italy than european commission. president ursula vander line starts referring to quote tools that can be used to get to centers back in line. in other words, sanctions, or can streets of sorts against europeans who diverge from what brussels wants. let's face it, the you really couldn't care. less about western values, either at home or abroad, beyond using them as

a crowbar to pry out of power leaders who refused to bow down to the western agenda . meanwhile, in many small businesses are being hit hard by inflation and spiking energy prices and $5.00 to $4.00 of the country's leading economic institutions predict that the nation will slide into recession. definitely within the next year. and according to the head of india's federation of export organizations, the new crisis is now impacting trade ties there as well. there are visible symptoms of recession in the u. the energy crisis is looming, their buyers are delaying orders from india. they are concerned but hopeful an editor from the india today, newspaper believes the economic recession in european countries has only just begun . it will get was you don't be on union account, which is 15 percent is already hit by bob, outbound shipment, which yields are downed by 3.52 percent already right now. both the commerce

minister of india and several hills probably have pointed out that given the fact that in your debt is not future at this in the next one and a half years, the only seems to be in russia where india wants to increase the export of what i pointed out, you know, things like chemicals, merchandise, for example, dec styles got names, rice and several of the major exports. india wants to push into russia and maybe, maybe other countries, maybe china, the commander in chief of ukraine's armed forces and finally published a photo of himself dawning. what appears to be a photo, right symbol valerie is illusion. he posted a photo on twitter with uses noticing he was wearing a bracelet featured

a swastika, however, some ukrainians posted another picture with a so called roon insignia, trying to disprove the price that contained a nazi symbol. and it was just a bad picture. however, that's not the 1st time the embrace of extremism has caught a controversy in ukraine. for example. it may. this photo with a soldier wearing an emblem of an infamous nazi tank division was posted by president lensky himself. later it was deleted after a public backlash and this picture was taken last month in the article f region. zelinski can be seen guarded by soldiers with the very same symbols on their attire . that photo was also later deleted as well. we spoke the former u. s. defense analyst micro maloof, he's hugely concerned by the reach and the influence of what our neo nazi groups this is one of the concerns that a lot of us have. and obviously it was also a point that the president made when he decided to undertake his special military

operation to, to rid the country of the, of the nazis once and for all. but for the, the commander in chief as commander chief, he has had right wing groups and neo nazi groups as part of his own armed forces. so it's not surprising and i looked at that braces very carefully and the room is, it's ancient. but the way this one was tilted and comprised it definitely represented and reflected accurately the, the actual nazi symbol. it's not the 1st time and you see these group. so walking around openly, displaying these symbols. well, we do it back in 2014, when the crew actually was staged, you didn't hardly hear a whimper out of any of the e u countries or the united states who was working with these right wing groups

was especially as off as off actually has representatives in the united states and our, and have been actively recruiting us 1st us people could with us for this program as investigations continue into one recently blew up the north stream gas pipelines to europe. the russian energy driving gas problem is reminded that back in 2015, a nato explosive device was actually discovered under the pipeline. the switch across loses on november the 6th 2015 during a planned visual inspection of nord stream, one, a nato underwater c forks. mine destroy was discovered it was lying under the gas pipeline, 40 meters deep. it was then removed and diffused by the swedish armed forces gas transportation, which had been stopped due to the emergency, was then resumed. nato said that the underwater device had been previously lost during military exercises. these and nato exercises, when

a military explosive device turned up exactly under our gas pipeline. or the stipend comes as the north stream pipelines were seriously damaged last month. and what is believed to be that of a deliberate attack, an investigation into the incident, has been conducted by a denmark, sweden than germany as part of a joint team. but no, russia. moscow was questioned why it wasn't allowed to join the prob, essentially why has been blocked with sweden now. and i'll see that i won't even share the investigation. results with russia who owns the pipeline was sabotaged, was cited as a likely cause of the damage by both russia and the west. well, it's always difficult to get a and i get a fair picture of exactly the new source today. that's why here at r t international, we really do work hard to present to you both sides of every major have lunch today . thank you for joining us. you can read more about everything. if you like at art dot com ah,

ah, with ah, ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, with ah, 1st it was the north stream pipelines now the bridge connecting crimea to the russian mainland. both had been sabotaged. mold can be considered terrorist attacks on infrastructure. there can be no doubt moscow will react, but how and against whom with

a look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence. and the point obviously, is to make trust rather than fear a job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with .
