well, you're not seeing one other with, with me. a strike alert to sun did our cross ukraine reports come in, russia is continuing retaliatory strike against infrastructure. they're following the explosion on crimea. courage, bridge 3 days ago, wanting the following footage as well. contains disturbing images with a former commander of ukraine's extremist elf battalion claims of this dressing video he shared on social media was obtained from a russian military phone. but failing to provide any evidence on instead appears to reveal his own complicit. say we go through that conflict in ukraine was not, and in american economic domination and a weakening of the you,

francis finance minister awards the you against firing important liquefied natural gas from the us. they cost 4 times more on, on america has been met with from moscow to the world. this is our t. my name's unit o'neill, and you're welcome to the news or a strike alert south sun did our cross ukraine, now reports come in, russia is continuing its retaliatory strikes. following the crimean bridge explosion on saturday, moscow safe, all designated targets, helping head. there were no damage there today, the russian armed forces have continued to strike ukrainian military command centers and energy facilities with high precision, long range, air and sea bass weapons. all the designated targets have been hit. ukrainian army

has conducted counter attacks in the areas of supper. raja and nikolai from cree void, ro, kirkland, but russian troops with artillery support of pushback keeps forces. all of their attacks have been repelled. or let's go through the development then this tuesday, a thermal power plant in the region of western ukraine was reportedly damaged in an attack. their operations at the facility, helping holsted footage of the aftermath being circulating a line as well with crews of workers seen rushing to do repair work. blas rock, the major western ukrainian city of laval early choose. they leaving vast areas without power, according to local authorities. explosions are also reported in the key of and harmony, the regions as well as in the port city of oak desk. 16 last were heard and the key of control for the supple rogia, where ukrainian authorities introduced rolling blackouts to cope with

a lack of electricity in russian territory. ukraine's reported to shell the city of her san multiple times over nights, but her defences were activated to intercept the incoming attacks. the cities of style of nor via ca, healthcare came under ukrainian artillery fire as well. according to local officials. our teeth eager chatelle have told me more earlier 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's 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 drone suicide bombing drawing drones if i may say so. the, and they are targeting the energy sector of 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 for 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? thee a 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 of to which apparently russia decided to make a slight shift in how it approaches the war with ukraine or western states have reacted to the strikes. germany rushed to promise ukraine advanced or defense systems. while the estonian prime minister said that russia is using terrorist tactics that is despite the fact just days ago, estonia is foreign minister, congratulated ukraine on blowing up part of the curt straight bridge linking crimea to mainland russia. moscow has informed the u. n. human rights council about 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 as of battalion commander, who says without sending any evidence that it was filmed by russians. an investigation by r to reveal that many aspects of the video do not support caves normative, but rather implicates the person who published it. we should warn you, the images i had are very distressed. if you haven't already seen this video, get ready because it's only a matter of time before western media starts using it to accuse russia of war crimes and a butcher. 2 point oh, we can see civilians, 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 maxime jordan, where the caption, when, who 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 notorious 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 co operation with the russians. do ukrainian forces liberate the cities and the russians flee, 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 is 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 who 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 abiding 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 tad, 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 edits 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 look a 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 clothes 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. ah, no. while the you endeavours to rid itself of russian energy supplies that block has been increasing its dependence on american shipments of liquefied natural gas, which is france point site course exponentially more than imports from near by russia. the book, as soon we'll see the conflicts in ukraine must not end in the marquis economic domination and a weakening of the

e. u. we cannot accept that. our american partner sells its ellen g for 4 times the price at which it sells it to its manufacturer. simple fuck, or u. s. exports of l. n. g, and other natural gas mostly to european countries, have risen sharpie in recent months. u. s. or more than $9000000000.00 worth all natural gas in august, an increase of $7000000000.00 from the same period from 2 years ago. as, as the use topped up tomorrow, use a barrel emphasize that russia and china have contributed considerably to the use pass prosperity. now upper spend a day has been based on cheap and yours. he come, you from russia. on the other hand, we're delegated. there was security to the us. we have to take a bigger box of out of responsibility on securing security. you, you, as they scale a lower security, you china, russia provide the basis of prosperity, disease or, well,

that is no longer there. when time, hundreds of people are taken to the streets of the major eastern german city of leipzig and protests against rising energy. demonstrators held up tickets in support of rebuilding economic ties with russia. same quote, open nord stream to immediately. the nations are quote, friendly together. there are fronts, as foreign minister sees, it is necessary to continue to negotiate with moscow. nobody's going to know the like and we must continue to talk to vladimir putin. the opposite would be irresponsible. there will be an aftermath the war will one day stop and russia will always be our neighbor. as well as delve into all those issues with economist ikea, homer, i k, a publisher of the vert shelf the actual business newsletter and very welcome to the program. hi, k, independent then is the

e u in deciding where to buy its energy from our how to ensure its own security. i don't know how independent they are, but i have a big suspicion that the top different motto, the top bureaucrats are so bowman into the international raleigh golf club from cloud tomorrow, and dominated by the us. that they are even betraying the european citizens, especially the german citizens for their personal benefit. and i think that they are not independent. one second lead, the us is doing everything to keep europe dependent on them to make the old game. the brakes have done before to keep this harmony on the continent to ruin outside and to ruin from the outside. so from the north stream, pipelines and summer ties through the pipeline a new one. and they told me in

a line with pass, if you hear now mr. morrell and mrs. on the line she was on the table are discussing and planning the controls and demolition of the year. be especially the german economy on the devil's pay. women, douglas, ali gars, and now coming along and saying, all we have to wear to change, this is a super crappy. she is one of the main courses she went probably against that. we want the destruction. we want the great reset. we want the green your view, we don't want fossil fuels and so on and so on. so this is just triple credit, but i think may now see that this is ending at a catastrophe. and it's just costing that personal c interesting admission. i would say from you foreign policy, if use a burrell recently stating that the use prosperity has been based on cheap russian energy and access to the the chinese market doesn't mean i can then looking into

those remarks that the easier of all prosperity, such as that is now over. yes. well, he's not entirely correct about what he said. yes, we are what our, our basement was. energy, energy security for the german citizens and especially the job that energy is not see. we have one of the most expensive energy in the world already for ages because of texas and all this stuff. so this is not true that this is the basis the day to day that we had individual freedom in germany and that we have a reliable law and reliable tax laws. and this has changed and the, and this has changed you to the 3rd life for life. and this is for my life and the burly at the boat. so this is how may or may made by the politicians on purpose.

and so every, everything else is not quite true and we are not relying on the chinese market and tale. this is not true either. we are relying on the process parity of the millions of jo and then businesses and not just on the, on the chinese, the chinese is a little higher, but the american led more part. we would have been much more chances. we wouldn't be able to work together with russia and the other countries on the continent, but the american morbidity and burrell and this fund, like a one of the major causes why we are going to do business. there can also touch upon another remark by you separate. he said the you previously kept its sources of security, namely the u. s. nate, so separate from its sources as he called it of prosperity, russian energy supplies and access to the chinese market. so what happened to the

plan? well, this isn't well, what he is mentioning maybe is that the so called security director of nato, which became more and more a political organization to suppress the members they in favor of the us. it's falling apart, but i would say theory, he was not frightened by any direct neighbor. if you have good diplomatic tied to your neighbors, you don't need to spend 2 percent of your g, b on, on military and so on. and even if you look at the military in germany, this is a jo, are especially after i was on the line, was in charge and led many millions into some corporate from the military expenses. no, our security is due to good relationships on the,

your age and continent. and we have to so called big bodies and big bodies of miss the whole row and business fun ally the us at the minute and the break. whereas no interest in security and it be on the continent. and this is our problem. hope, what's your sense? like how united is europe right now, and it's stance against rushes, military operation in ukraine. we've seen people for some time, concern greatly about supplies where they're going to, to get heat this winter. but is that filtering through from the streets to the decision makers in government offices. yet the greeks are furious. they getting more and more furious and already started in 2015 when not a lot of fun. when america will invite millions of non degradable people into germany. but now it is getting furious when the people feel it themselves by having

no gas or the fear of having no gas. and probably food shortages, which will probably occur because we don't have the energy to supply the food to the grocery places and so on. and off so you cannot. 1 family ties, high integrated economic machine like germany is by doing this. funny are great reset and group new green things as your be your day. you can just do that. this is breaking apart and this breaking apart me, that with the euro, the unity is losing ground every day. that it is a clamoring unit. again, germany unity against germany. and where you can't climb the germany anymore. it doesn't make sense. well, the european, so called partners to stay in the european union because they are right and they get more afraid to and they only take care on their own benefits. look at poland,

look at from look at italy and spain. they all have their own interest. only germany is acting in behalf of the other people's interest, but the bell and the european union is not, is not united at all anymore. that's why you need more and more police and military on the street at the minute. always interested in lightning to have a column if i get home or on the program, lie from hand over to the i get. thank you. you're welcome. thank you. now as we were just going through there as a use, this attempt to cover their energy needs, the algerian and french prime ministers of express their wish for the nations to reconcile during a 2 day visit by the french pm. it follows president microns visit to algiers. and august, a trip aimed at ending months of tensions between france and the major north african energy provider over multiple colonial your issues. parse based r t contributor rachel mars and offers her take on 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 of at bone 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 in men read mac hall, made a trip to the country. and he also said at the time that his focus was renewed, bilateral relations, and co operation. but the chief executive officer of paris, headquartered french energy company, all she just happened to be there riding shotgun with michael on the trip. a bit of a clue that perhaps there was another unspoken objective. well, she knew we've a complex, painful, common past. and it has at times prevented us from looking at the future. 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 in mac hall was accusing algeria, quote, political military system of quotes stoking hatred toward france, leading to a diplomatic clash and frosting over of relations between the 2 countries. but that tune sure changed after the you shot itself and both feet with anti russian energy sanctions caused his economy to follow and well needed. 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 year, 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 russian 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,

at whether it's iran, russia, or algeria, wherever the you goes to try to fill up on. yes, us sanction threats tend to follow of investigations continue into the alleged silva charge of the nord stream gas pipelines system. russian john gas from has publicly recall that back in 2015 and nato explosive device was discovered under that same pipeline. the switcher crash resistance 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 muzzle 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. little forgot

. yeah, we heard the name there, they see fox mine warfare system. it was find at the north stream pipeline 70 years ago and is an unmanned under water drone. it was created to destroy all known mine types according to its german manufacturer. the explosive devices guided either automatically or manually towards its intended target. a gas problem statement comes after the new stream pipeline system a seriously damaged the both exceed 2 weeks ago. and what beliefs have been a deliberate attack sabotaged was cited as a likely cause of the damage by both russia and western powers. much of the suspicion has focused on the us after a former foreign minister of poland, posted a tweet thing. thank you usa alongside a picture of the pipeline leak. he liter deleted a post. many of also recall joe biden's words earlier this year about his desire to don nordstrom unimed vested ation into the instant is being conducted

by a joint force of denmark, sweden and germany. moscow has protested its being excluded from the prob, with sweden now announcing that it will not sure the results of the inquest with russia. what's behind me here, by the way, this is stuck home. also adding the after almost 2 weeks of investigations is opening the area to vessels and from other states, vice president of the regime center thing type. earl rasmussen says the investigation will bring any clarity because it's got missed directed aims. 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 area as much as possible. the m h 17. the script case,

all lower case all barry. the russians affect the script case the, there's a treaty, there's a set gaiden guidelines on investigating use of biological type weapons, and they are completely thrown out the window and, and russia was completely blocked from this. and, and we still don't know what happened on that really it's, it's interesting on why not surprising knowing the, knowing what the west primarily the u. s. the actual foreign policy is and direction here. they basically want to sever any type of coordination between the europeans and, and russia. evidence points completely to the other direction. and i think highly likely that the u. s. was either directly or indirectly involved as well. very few countries have the capability to do this. all referendums are not equal apparently, according to also after the canadian government made clear its trade show over for

territories voting to join russia last month. it's now supporting a poll taken on canadian territory buyer, secessionist indian c grouping who want to turn the punjab state into an independent country. new delhi calls the ballot, illegal. a formal load of protests has been sent to canada. here's our t's ruined to ensure that when the proclamation of a so called referendum, i seek justice, a group that is bad in india, canada, india, a once again in the zone of diplomatic discomfort. now india off canada to dr. reference, which is due in the 1st week of november as a challenge is territorial integrity. and so, rather, it's important to close the 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 a few canadian prime minister justin to off his focus the after he denounced the recent rush and i forgot 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 request, how fall on deaf ear so far that india is closely watching with a candle. we'll go ahead with that 2nd referendum. now one notable aspect of the ukraine conflict has been the number of foreign fighters seeking to get involved on both sides of the.
