a few took on the job, these to broadview enough with go double play. you have to go so good. i'm up with a nurse strike alert. it sounded across you bring those reports, come in, not russia is continuing retaliatory strikes against the infrastructure. they're following the explosion on cry me as coach bridge 3 days ago and warning. the following footage contains disturbing images. a former commander of ukraine's extreme with af battalion claims a distressing video he shared on social media was obtained from a russian military phone, but failed to provide any evidence of instead appears to reveal his own complicity . gals problem reveals on an under water nato explosive drone was

found under the north stream pipeline. back in 2015. the revelation comes and made an ongoing investigation into last month's blasts on the gas transport system. with nato said that the underwater device had been previously lost during military exercises. these and nato exercises, when the military explosive device turned up exactly under on gas pipeline with across the world to run the clock. this is our take good to have you with us today for the global news roundup. i'm you know, me or strike alerts have sounded across ukraine. now as reports come in, that russia is continuing its retaliatory strikes following the crimea and bridge explosion on saturday. a thermal power plant in the denisa region of western ukraine has been reportedly damaged and

a new attack. their operations at the facility, helping hold it for they'd shut the aftermath has been circulating online and cruise all the workers have rushed to to repair, work blast rock, the major western ukraine city of evolve early on tuesday, while explosions were also reported in the key. evan, emily, the regions as well as in the port city of odessa. 16 glass were heard in the key of control city of the upper osha, where ukrainian authorities introduced rolling black guards to cope with a lack of electricity also the in russian territory. ukraine was reported to the shell, the city of her son multiple times overnight, but her defences were activated to intercept the incoming at the cities of for her off know by health care came under ukrainian artillery fire as well. according to local authorities. ortiz eager shit down off reports. on the latest this morning

began for ukraine's with more strikes. as russia resumed its air raid campaign to take out apparently, and cripple ukraine's critical infrastructure. i'm talking about the energy sector mostly now this morning, attack, it kind of pales in comparison well when it comes to the scale of what we saw just one day ago. but still nonetheless, ukraine is very much concerned. there have been, there has been an air raid sirens, they have been sounding all across the country, basically, with the whole country was put on the air arrayed alerts and indeed, dozens of blots have already been reported. according to other reports, more missiles are and wrote, again, russia has used a, according again, according to reports. it's a caliber, a cruise missiles along with, ah, drones that it along with combat drones, suicide bombing drawing drones if i may say so. the and they are targeting the energy sector,

ukraine. this is what they were doing yesterday. this is what they're doing. now. essentially, there are reports that at least one thermal, a power plant has been targeted. and there have been a reports of more explosions on the objects of critical ukraine's infrastructure across the country. again, we will get more information as to how much damage is being dealt right now. i should say, and has been dealt to day closer to the evening, closer to the closer to dinner time. probably will of course, stay closely tuned to afford that, but it can already be safely said that yesterday's attack. well, it has significantly damaged ukraine's infrastructure that the authorities have already announced that there will be rolling blackouts all across the country. they have strongly cooled on the population to conserve energy, to basically charge their phones in advance and basically not to consume more than they absolutely have to. yesterday we saw pictures out of the western town of revolver major, a regional sandtown. it was until midnight,

it was completely submerged in the dark. no street lights, no traffic lights, and no lights in people's home, sol, ready? the ukrainian of ukrainian infrastructure can't cope with the damage dealt. they have had to announce that they are stopping the energy exports, electricity exports to europe. so it is, it is already very much devastating. and with more attacks, it can't well the situation, the situation can't get any better. so of course, we'll stay tuned up for that, and for basically for rushes will be monitoring rushes, retaliatory responds to ukraine, stepping up and escalating its attacks on russian towns on crimea. and of course, on the crimean bridge, which became that red line off to which apparently russia decided to make a slight shift in how it approaches the war with ukraine. eager shit on off. now,

western states have reacted to the strikes. germany rushed to promise ukraine advanced her defend systems, while the estonian prime minister said that russia is using terrorist tactics. that's despite the fact that just days go. as tony as foreign minister, congratulated ukraine on blowing off part of the curt straight bridge linking crimea, to mainland russia. ah, 6 minutes past 1, pm here in the us. we're still ahead, artie report some on the recent outages of the lawn. mosques, star, link south life insurance system along the you trillion front lines much to key of this may. you can also read more about this story on our website r t dot com. katya moscow has informed the un human rights con, so i bought a video that appears to show dead civilians being thrown into a mass grave in ukraine. the shocking footage was posted by a former ukrainian us off battalion commander, who sees without citing any evidence that was filmed by russians. an investigation

by r t corresponding marina cost repre reveals that many aspects of the video do not support cubes. narrative, but rather implicates the person who published it. we should warn you. the images ahead are distressing in this video. get ready because it's only a matter of time before western media start season it to accuse rashaw of war crimes and a boat out 2 point oh, we could see civilian some with bags over their heads and their hands bound behind their bags dead being thrown into a ditch. this was posted on telegram by notorious ukrainian, neo nazi, maxine assured, and where the caption, when her band school still occupied payback will come to everyone. and he claimed that he got the video from a so called all coupon cell phone, but he, so that's hoary, as it took minutes before people on line assumed that he or his boys did it. why?

because of his gruesome reputation and the previous threats that he made. i can assure you that now is not the best time for cooperation with the russians. ukrainian forces liberate the cities and the russians fleet, leaving their informants without protection. responsibility will come to every one . so think carefully before becoming a traitor, and that was a slip up. there are numerous posts like the one where he celebrates the car bombing of a collaborator or this one where he praises the posters with collaborators, photos, saying that no face is forgotten. or this one where he says everyone will be caught and purged typical of a former commander of the neo nazi as all battalion. there he is. in all his glory, accused of commits in war crimes against on boss civilians. order in the shelling of a peaceful, great patriotic war demonstration, and calling for extra judicial killings of pro russian politicians in ukraine,

traitors, or his latest craze and their fates as up for a vote on his telegram channel. the result, not many are big on forgiveness. and definitely not those ukrainian squads who read silk of the largely pro ration coupons back in september among them and notorious kracken battalion whose soldiers were posts and footage of themselves breaking the geneva convention and shooting on armed ross and soldiers in the caps. so not known for their humanity or a law, a boy in ways, and those are the people who read so could penske a month ago. and now we have this video emerge. hardly surprising that mr. jordan had to come up with a mysterious russian soldiers phone theory. where is the proof that these are russian soldiers the ukrainians probably aren't familiar with the expression you can make the stuff up because they believe they can. after the 1st video was posted

and back, fired, take to and try again. and now they say, proof is all there. but it's the adults that are clear, the red band, which they couldn't photoshop properly, is still here, while his leg has already moved forward. here it is in slow motion. let's take a local one more time and then it's gone. this appeared when they reached the top. this is hollywood magic. at its worst. i don't know about you, but if i knew i'd be accused of spreading fake information, i chilled the soldier and that phone. i'd have the names of those killed out to have their relatives, and they have nothing. and one more thing. let's take a look at the close at the civilians are wearing. we can see a jacket and a hoodie. we can even see leaves fall in from the trees, which was normal for october. but russians left that sound in mid september when

the temperature there was over 20 degrees celsius. but most importantly, meta data indicates that the video was filmed on the 9th of october and downloaded on the same day, which leads to very sombre conclusions. an execution of innocent civilians by neo nazis for their pro russian views, or even worse, to create a pretext to accuse moscow as they always do. okay, so never headlines. stories today as investigations continue into the alleged service charge of the nord stream gas pipeline system. russian energy giant gals prom has public a. recall that back in 2015, a nato exclusive device was discovered under that same pipeline. the switcher groceries used 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, 14 meters deep. it was then removed and diffused by the swedish armed forces of 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. this is what's being said, the c fox mine warfare system, which is one of the nord stream pipeline 7 years ago, is an unmanned underwater drone. it was created to destroy all known mine types according to its german manufacturer. the explosive device is guided, either automatically or manually towards its intended target for gas. prong statement comes after the north stream. pipeline system was seriously damaged 2 weeks ago and what's believed to have been and deliver the tech. sabotage was cited

as a likely cause of the damage by both russia and western powers. much of the suspicion has focused on the u. s. after a former foreign minister of poland, tweets did fight q u. s. a. alongside a picture of the pipeline league. he litter deleted his post. many of also recall jo biden's words earlier this year about his desire to don't know what st. while the investigation into the incident is being conducted by a joint force of denmark, sweden and germany. moscow has protest above its being excluded from the prob, with sweden. now, one thing that it won't sure the results of the inquest with russian stockholm also added here, that all stir almost 2 weeks of investigations. it's the opening, the area to vessels from other states, vice president of the eurasia center thing. think url rasmussen is the investigation will bring any clarity because it starts misdirecting they know what they're going to find and,

and they definitely do not want the russians to know about that. they, they may find something, at least they're allowing them to do an investigation. there, but i'm sure that they will try to clear up and cleanse the airy as much as possible. the m h 17. the script case, the all new have all very russians effect the script locates the there's a treaty, there's a set gaiden guidelines on investigating use of biological type weapons. and they were completely thrown out the window and, and russia was completely block from this. and, and we still don't know what happened on that really, it's interesting and why not surprising knowing the, knowing what the west primarily the u. s. actual foreign policy is and direction here. they basically want to sever any type of coordination between the europeans and russia. the evidence points completely to the other direction,

i think highly likely that the u. s. was either directly or indirectly involved as well. very few countries have the capability to do that. of e u. countries attempt to cover their energy needs. the algerian and french prime ministers have expressed their wish to reconcile their relations during a 2 day visit by the french pm. it follows president microns visit to algiers. in august, the trip aimed ending months of tensions between from, from the major and north african energy provider over multiple colonial era issues . paris based the rti contributor rachel marston offers her take on those developments. algeria has something that europe wants and needs specifically under use natural gas export potential. despite already being europe's biggest natural gas supplier after russia, norway, now this untapped potential has become even more important now that the you sanctioned it's other energy supplies from russia and is now desperate to find some

new ones. so french prime minister, eighties, abed bell, and took 16 other french ministers on a field trip to algeria this week, where she's expected to inc. deals on economic cooperation, including energy. not like she's admitting it though. gas deliveries are quote, not on the table, according to her office. it's just a coincidence that french ministers are suddenly hanging around algeria like a bad smell. and it, algeria just happens to have gas potential in a time of dire french gas need, or that while the french ministers are in algeria, the e u energy commissioner is also set to attend an energy conference in the country. it was just 6 weeks ago that french president, a men read him at home, made a trip to the country. and he also said at the time that his focus was renewed, bilateral relations and cooperation. but the chief executive officer of paris, headquartered french energy company, all she just happened to be there riding shotgun with michael on trip a bit of

a clue that perhaps there was another unspoken objective. well, she gloomily. we've a complex, painful, common past. and it has at times prevented us from looking at the future. so i think we're at a time when we can build this new pack for the future. this new strategic cooperation. it was just a year ago than mac haul was accusing. algeria is, quote, political military system of quotes stoking hatred toward france, leading to a diplomatic clash and frosting over a relations between the 2 countries. but that tune sure changed after the you shot itself and both feet with anti russian energy sanctions causes economy as follow and well hated a lift over all the flow of russian gas is no less than one 3rd to what it used to be. for example, at the same time last jim, russia is black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon. we have to be pro active. we have to prepare for a potential full disruption of rational gas. and this is a likely scenario,

but here's where things get tricky for the u. washington now wants to sanction algeria for $7000000000.00 arms deal that it made with russia last year in 2021. i any andree continuing to, i support our rock as it relates to its object in ukraine. right now. it's unjust, and it's unlawful infringement on ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty would, would be deeply problematic. as was the case with russia. us sanctions preventing the you from engaging without uria would effectively mean more gas export opportunities for the us to europe. surely, it's just a coincidence again, that whether it's iran, russia, or algeria wherever the you goes to try to fill up on. yes, us sanction threats tend to follow or i something else to tell you by today, india's foreign minister has taken a swipe at the west for urging new delhi to n military cooperation with moscow. stating that for years western nations refused

to see india as a worthy partner in the region. the west supplied weapons to pakistan for years and not to india for years. and now they are asking india to stop by and russian weapons when moscow stood by new delhi. all those years in the past were russia has been in the main supplier of military hardware for decades, providing around 90 percent of the country's weaponry, according to a french thinktank, the spike current western attempts to urge india to reduce its cooperation with moscow. russia and new delhi continue to grow bilateral trade in a variety of fields from energy to textiles. meanwhile, france again has said it sites on india seeking to increase military ties with the south asian power has i do not think any country provides india with the same level of technology. the progress is also due to the fact that we recognize that india wants to boost its strategic autonomy. billed us industrial base,

and we want to be the best partner in this move. a former indian or a force officer, v k. p s a. moscow has proven to be a reliable partner for the deli, over many years. this is a relationship with just dime testing. it has been dead all the time, practically the entire fighting combat the potential for 2 nights. this is dependent on russia. we understand the security concerns of russia and why is it that india should not continue this kind of relationship with russia because it is in the national interest of india to do so as well as it does then trust russia continue with this kind of relationship that does all referendums are not equal? so said canada, after also i made clear it's i rage over 4 territories voting to join russia last

month. the are no supporting a pool on canadian territory by a secessionist indian sick grouping. striving to turn punjab state into an independent country, new delhi calls up ballot illegal, and a formal note of protest has been sent to cover the government. here's our team room june sherman with a proclamation of a so called referenda by seats for justice. a group of ballad in debt, canada, india, a once again into the off diplomatic discomfort. now india cannot to stop good afternoon, which is due in the 1st week of november as a challenge. yes, territorial integrity and serenity. it's important to close whole countries to understand. today, really how democracy should function not only at home, but also the responsibilities that democracies have to other democracies abroad.

critics of accused canadian prime minister justin to do of his focus the after he denounced the recent rush and i forgot and of the new ukraine. but allowed c groups to whole referendum in canada. canada denounces rushes, plans referendums in occupied regions of ukraine. we will never recognize them. this is a bleeding violation of international law. it is a further escalation of war, and it is unacceptable. and just told dave before that tweet a so called referenda was held in his own country where the sea cope. what are you to whether indeed the job should be a separate country. now, new denny's repeated requests, how fall on deaf ears so far that india is closely watching with a candle. we'll go ahead with that 2nd referendum. ukraine's armed forces have complained about losing this signal, distributed by l on musket star link soft light system. western media called the

development catastrophic and began to analyze possible reasons behind it. the connection problems began after the world's richest mouth, suggested the way to end the ukraine conflict a few weeks ago, but it caused rapid backlash. artillio, a tranquil reports. so issues with starling systems and ukraine began only a few days after even musk infuriated ukrainian officials with his proposals for peace on twitter. soon, the western media, cited officials and key of thing the star link outages have been caused by a catastrophic loss of communication between the forces. so what's behind this telecom disaster for key of troops? it remains a mystery, but there are a few clues. the 1st one that musk doesn't want the technology to end up in washes hands. if it retakes the territory rather obviously came from ukraine. it is absolutely clear to me that this is being done by representatives of starling to

prevent the usage of their technology by russian occupation forces. number 2, that the out of his had something to do with money matters was implicitly refuted by you and mosque himself, as some would read between the lines of this tweet. bad reporting by f t. this article falsely claims that starling terminals in service were paid for when only a small percentage have been. this operation has cost space ex $80000000.00 and will exceed $100000000.00 by end of year. as for what's happening on the battlefield, that's classified. the 3rd thought is that the ceo of space x is worried about a potential backlash from china, whose government isn't keen to see stallings expansion mosque says beijing has made clear it's disapproval of his recent rollout of stalling space x, the satellite communication system in ukraine. he says beijing salt assurances that he would not sell starling in china. another version is the russian hackers did. it

would even admitted if that were the case, not so sure. anyway, maybe we won't even find out what went wrong for kia. but again, the context, like i said, the beginning, many thought must, could made a full you turn from sending starling kids. do you grade to tweeting this ukraine, russia? peace, redo elections, of annexed regions under un supervision. russia leaves, if that is the will the people crimea, formerly part of russia, as it has been since 1783 until cruise ships mistake water supply to crimea assured ukraine remains and neutral. a quick reminder of how ukraine's most senior diplomats took it off. is my very diplomatic reply to you, elan mosque. those who propose ukraine give up on its people in land, presumably not to her puddings, bruised ego, or to save ukraine from suffering must stop using the word piece and the euphemism

to lead russians, murder and rape, thousands more innocent ukrainians and grab moorland. it appears one way or another even mosque always wants to stick around when it comes to the ukraine story. i bed . this is not the end of it. if you're in the mood to tell a further into the turn, did any of this our stories do mic r t dot com. your 1st of all will make sure you're kept in the bye for now with what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even foundation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful,

very difficult time. time to sit down and talk with ah mm. with me. hello and welcome to wells apart, rushes massive. retaliation for ukraine's attacks on infrastructure has moved the

one much closer to home for many ukrainians, but is it persuasive or frankly frightening enough to change the calico is not only in here, but also in washington. well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a daniel about adjunct professor of international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of moral prophetic of alec. it's good to see you. thank you very much for being available. thank you for having me. now we are recording this conversation on monday afternoon, most good time when the full scope of the russian strikes implement. ukrainian infrastructure is still unclear, although i think we can all admit that it's extremely distressing. on a human level, seeing people sheltering in the subway running, destroyed down the streets. but i think in the elliptic liam as a, as a former war correspondent, it's kind of predictable, especially in the light of sunday's attack on the crimea branch as well as the previous attacks on the, on the russian gas pipelines. do you expect further escalation at this point,

or do you think it will stop here? unfortunately, i see this. yeah, it's very possible it's going to escalate further up. and i think largely because the west wants it to escalate, in particular the u. s. and the u. k, ah, you know, i think the whole purpose from the western point of view for this war was to undermine russia to weaken russia in the way that the afghan war of 80 was intended to do the same to the soviet union. and it did act. she had that in that, i mean, it succeeded to that extent. it's my perception that russia would be happy to end this thing now to do with those 4 republics that have voted to join russia, joining russia, crimea staying with russia, leaving the rusty ukraine and ending it. they are now professor of all this war has

been going on for several years. but i think over the last couple of weeks we've seen a notable moving of the gold post and something that used to be off limits, at least for the state. i'm talking about industrial sabotage and industrial terrorism. seems to be pretty legitimate or at least normalized by the strikes on the russian gas infrastructure, as well as, according to russian intelligence. previously undisclosed to tax on a nuclear plant power plant in the russian city. of course, why do you think we are seeing such a rapid escalation to essentially terrorist tactics at this point of time? i think the u. s. in particular who's leading the charge here is getting desperate . i think they see rush, you're winning this thing. i don't think they want to allow russia to have a victory. and so yeah, they're now turning to terrorist tactics. i think the attack on the north stream to pipeline was the most.
