and you have yet to see those with dr. newman squad. so to handle most of his emotional specially to renew with those openings and it took a little bit of doing, please give me a call that lines right now here with alpha international as weston politicians are effectively destroying the global energy market. now, well, those are the words of vladimir putin and his speech to the russian energy week forum currently being held right here in moscow. also speaking of the conference at the head of the russian energy, giant gads problem claims that germany's underground gas storage supplies will only be enough to last 2 months with russia security. so his name's the ukrainian military intelligence head. as being behind the crimean bridge involving

details to come on that story with well, there are some huge moves being made today in the world. energy markets ramifications that will most certainly span the globe. it's great to have you with us for this. i was program manase international, so western politicians are effectively destroying the global energy market. that is, the view of vladimir putin who made the claim was he addressed the russian energy we forum currently being held right here in moscow. he accused western governments were being guided only by their own ambitions. in girth, you could carry on the criminal if they fail to reach that aims, they undermine and destroy the infrastructure of their rivals. of course, i'm talking about the attacks on the north stream one and north stream to alight lines. these attacks are undoubtedly acts of international terrorism. and to block your from cheap energy sources back to deprive millions of people of resources and

force other countries to buy energy resources at higher price indian video. let's get details right now. question live to what is elia? katrinka good to see you this afternoon. so i know you've been following the opening, the opening events of this russian energy week form. it's, it's such a big story earlier. there are so many angles to it if he would bring out some of the issues addressed by the russian president today rory hello there. while not only did the, the russian president. busy called the north stream pipeline disruptions, an act of international terrorism. he also hinted at the possible culprits. he said that the nations responsible for the attacks on the pipelines were actually those that want to fully cut ties between russia and the european union. and in fact, he eventually did even call out the names, poland, ukraine, and the us, and also added. and i'm quoting like they say in the west,

highly likely everything is clear. mr. brewton went on to say that both ignored stream pipelines can actually be repaired. but that will only happen if they end up being launched in also, if the security of the pipelines are guaranteed. in other case, there is no point in touching these pipelines now. uh besides, this is mr. pushing way then on the decision by the european nations to introduce a price cap on russian oil, he quoted a famous american nobel prize winner and said that that, that introducing any limits of the on the price would only inevitably leads to deficit and higher prices among other things, the russian leader doubled down on his own assessment that russia was never

responsible for the global energy crisis. and he blamed it on the mistakes policy mistakes by ear, peon, and american decision makers that are taking their toll on developing countries to when can we do? but since the expense estimate this year alone is got gas pricing mechanism will bring losses to europe in more than $300000000000.00 euros, which is in it 2 percent of the eurozone, g, d, p, as this could have been avoided if they'd use long term contracts with an oil binding, they go to the current difference between spot prices and long term contract prices is $3.00 to $4.00 times and who was responsible for that? i have imposed this model of trade on us and they forced gas from to switch important to binding to the spot market. and now they grown that they themselves to blame them, or other countries, primarily developing ones will have to over paying for these energy resources. the results that comes to the european market is solar. they have 3 times more

expensive along the chain. these price fuel inflation village in the urea cycle has reached 10 percent video. ordinary europeans, the suffering of the population as in the middle ages began to stalk up on firewood for the winter. what does russia got to do about it? and they're always trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes on someone else fair. in this case on russia, yet, there isn't. there. also president vladimir putin refuted the claims that russia was trying to make life wars for europeans by using energy as a political tool. and reminded that once moscow already came to a rescue, you may have to expect, we've seen american tank is carrying and g supplies change that course move towards other destinations, just because they're expecting to be paid more. surely these deliveries are not reliable here, and russia was the only one that actually made gas delivery to europe reliable. however, on western counterparts, wouldn't like to remember that fact, they say it is moscow that doesn't want to supply them with gas. it's rhonda if we

guided by contractual obligations i under insuring the supplies are made in full way willing to satisfy europe's energy needs. if they don't want to receive our products, we have nothing to do with that but switched it. so the russian energy we continues do stay tuned for more of date from this very important event from me and the rest of the team. ilia, thanks for that report. appreciate you bring us up to date on the latest events out from this i. russian energy for there are so many implications to the story we're going to take them further this afternoon with our guests are naughty international for now. that area. thanks for that. we'll see you soon. now, a major point of discussion of the forum has been whether the use current gas reserves will be enough to provide adequate heating this coming winter. the head of, of the top are russian energy export. a gas from warned that the situation does appear. grim was our chaise corporal. returning to the question whether europe can

survive with injected gas, william that the colonel have an underground storage. dance is very simple. no one can give any guarantee if we talk about the act of guest volume and underground storage facilities in europe. then we must course talk about germany, the volume of active gas injection capabilities and germany amounts to 21500000 cubic meters of gas or the 100 percent objection that's germany apparently will pump about 20 it is estimated, the germany will consume 60000000 cubic meters of gasoline coming automatically period. this means that gas on the underground storage facilities in germany's enough to or as most 2 and a half months are causing live out of the former austrian foreign minister. carrick . and i saw joining us here on auto international a very well welcome to you in a very good often institute. it's always good to see it today. thank you very much . so this big event is happening in moscow right now, that of the russian energy week for and before we get into details of it, i wanted to just well drop down on some of the comments by the russian president vladimir putin. he is saying that the, the node stream explosions were an act of terrorism. what, what was your opinion beyond that?

while ever since 2018. i was under the impression that the why did they had an obsession with anything because i was all the ones that were partially finished from connection but the most not never i'm. that's my person. they just said there was a need to lie. i would look at, i realized to every meeting that i've had, you counted openly that it was the number one. i would never make this happen. bias like it, you can get it. i mean they had a very mean not

are you but i great bone. i have no idea what at once, what can i do apologize as much as we want to hear what you have to say. your signal keeps dropping out. we're going to have to secure the signal with you 1st before we return to you can, can i saw the form of foreign minister of austria. i do feel forgiveness will return to please and just a moment. thank you and i thank you for your patience as well. in another comment, today's ongoing energy forum president putin claimed whoever committed the sabotaged job the north stream pipeline system, had intended to well sever economic ties between russia and the european union. to say you stands behind the sabotage of north street, one to oversee those. you see these if you find a break of time to wind, rush or in europe as you want to finally undermine the political subjectivity of

your that you can it's industrial potential. but everybody come and lead out in that market. how i, let's get the take on this from ology contributor rachel moss and out joining us. good afternoon to you, rachel, that putin certainly hinting at some western leaders who undermine russia. you ties, for example, as well, and how the u. s. is really paying the price for the u. s. policy against russia. i mean, you're talking about l n g, at least 4 times the price that the french was at the foreign minister and 24 hours ago complaining. why do we have to pay $4.00 times more for american l. n. g than we should perhaps for that of russian gas. anyway. take it away. rachel, over to you. well, yeah, we're definitely see some doubts sorry to see been between these allies here. the us senate has just started debating the national defense authorization bill for next year, which reportedly not only foresee more security assistance funding for ukraine, but also for taiwan. and they are nice things for at all, like the pacific deterrent initiative, the european deterrent initiative and ukraine security assistance initiative.

because i guess you can't just call the military industrial copper filling initiative. so all the spending is framed as defensive with russia and chinese in the role of bogeyman who scare americans stairs into allowing their elected officials to just write a blank check. now what does that mean for taiwan? is billions of dollars more funding for fast tract weapon sales and military cooperation between washington and ty pate. so surely it's just a coincidence that high pay is reportedly considering one year mandatory military service starting in 2024. now, europe has been riding shotgun with washington on ukraine, but it looks like at least some european officials are now realizing that europe may be about to be shoved out of the washington warm, reveal and left a roadside in ukraine. as washington says, it's gps to type a strategic

enablers because they're much calmer time. and it could be pretty soon when we the us, my big gaged food elsewhere invasion pacific. and we will be simply unable to support you and it sounds like when washington and brussels plan there you create adventure . the e u was not anticipating a change of itinerary to include taiwan. here's the chief diplomat. the deep us china competition. that was not a surprise, but this collation of been shown in by one. yes, they were not conditioned. and they were treated by an individual trouble. what personality that bring it, tie when is trade the de bridge at the age of a i wouldn't say a wall, but a lot of war games. who being quai,

their individual travel personnel, the there is triggering a war. who could that be? surely he can't possibly referring to how speaker nancy pelosi is or drums bunker performance in taipei over the summer. pretty german chancellor earl, i've shoals is also reportedly set to visit china next month. and he doesn't seem to keen on cutting ties with beijing like europe was goaded by washington into doing with moscow to the blocks, ongoing economic detriment, have a listen. we don't have to decouple from some countries. i, sam fagley. we must continue to do business with china. it's not hard to understand why you officials wouldn't want to cut themselves off from china. the blocks largest trading partner, a few more self sanctions and you risk becoming the west north korea. at this point, the trade commissioner does seem to get it saying the hell i have a word with his washington colleagues about its latest china policy moves, which he sees as unproductive and harmful make sense, considering how complicated it would be to replace chinese trade. it would take

apple for example, about 8 years to move just 10 percent of its chinese production out of the country where 98 percent of its i phones are made. that's according to bloomberg intelligences report. so perhaps brussels is now looking at the u. s. agenda a bit more skeptically before leaping off a cliff at washington's be asked, and then realizing too late, but it didn't have a parachute. and by the way, the chief diplomat burrell seems to be upset with his parachute packers. and it's just you, these, you diplomat saying, quote, sometimes i knew more of what was happening somewhere by reading the newspaper. then reading your report, you reports come sometimes too late. but at least it's not yet too late for europe to push back on the notion of opening up a 2nd western waterfront with the world's largest economy. all right, i'll take it over there. rachel marston. thank you. now ukrainian military intelligence organized the crimean bridge bombing that is,

according to russia's federal security service. the f i speak says 8 people have been arrested in connection with the attack. the agency also states that explosives away hidden in a truck carrying rolls of plastic sheeting a used in the construction industry. the explosive device was camouflaged inside rows of polyethylene, construction sheeting, material on $22.00, pallets with a total weight of 22770 kilograms. and in early august, this year was sent from the c port of odessa to the bulgarian city of ruth. for the main point was that this terrorist attack was orchestrated by ukraine spy chief tedium, to don off with the help of a russian ukrainian and armenian citizens. as we heard, 8 of them have been detained so far were still on the lookout for the remaining. for now ukraine's intelligence services over saw the entire transportation and they oversold the transportation. let's have a look at the map they took were now seen pictures of those the panes. but let's

switch it off and look at the roots. that the truck folks. so there we have, it's, it's sorted off in the seaport, odessa, then it moved into bulgaria and made so country and then it moved on to georgia, armenia through some russian regions. and then it made its way onto the crimean bridge. now as with the results of that for people also lives the ukrainians and ukrainian officials work static about that. when you trade in citizens. taken selfies next banner of the bridge. that was collapse and we saw the specials, the pretty much straight forward saying that what a great achievement this is and what a grade below this is for vladimir putin, even though they were saying all of this, at some point, they even accused russia of blowing up its own bridge, which made no sense whatsoever. but of course, this would go along with the, with a western narrative. we also saw, of course, how the officials,

they didn't take official responsibility for this terrorist attack, but there were so happy about it that not it were there were alluding to the fact that this is a great achievement for them. and even this morning, as early as the morning, once again, they reminded us that this is very helpful for them. and this is something that was on their agenda for a very long time. let's take a listen. no, this is the will still plus wish destroyed half of hardwood. and so where was responsible for that? it's very helpful group room. we've been telling from the very beginning that this bridge will, will be a will, will try to, to the story as soon as will be able to do so. so we'll keep hearing it from them. how help for this would be for them, and that they've been planning this all along. yet somehow, even though it makes absolutely no sense for any reason that it was a rush or the blow up its own bridge. now again, we heard today from their press service, all the cranes and military intelligence. and they're released at suite where

they're saying that while the f as b and rushes investigative committee, we all know that there are fake structures. and that there are windings are absolute nonsense. so this plays along and so their theory that they have nothing to do with it and that it is probably russia who did it itself. and the reason why they're so confidence in dismissing these suffers and dismissing the findings. it's because they are getting support from western countries from european countries who are not only not condemning this terrorist attack. but there are also encouraging that they're supporting at their applaud unless attack, some of them are even calling for more such attacks on russian soil. the events of the last days have once again demonstrated the blade and double standards of the collective west. the litmus test was the terrorist act committed by the ukrainian special services on the crimean bridge. a cynical attack on an object of critical civilian infrastructure. in fact, the missions of germany,

latvia and lithuania to the o. s. c, e, justified the terrorist attack on the crimean bridge. so i guess this is why ukrainian officials feel so confident in dismissing the findings in encouraging more tax on the russian soil. but today, what we know is that 8th out of the 12 suspects involved in this terrorist attack on the crimean bridge have been detained. there are looking for the 4 remaining ones, and these are the findings. and this is the latest on the terrorist attack. and the climate number or let's rejoin our guess this, our, the former austria and foreign minister current can i? so once again, i do apologize. current technology today, it seems the signal is better. you and i were talking just a few moments ago about essentially, while the russian energy for a week that is now kicking off here in the russian capital. but also the comments being made right now by that of the russian president. he did make some comments about the well, i guess the fate of the nod stream pipelines, he did say that the attack on the north stream system was intended to undermine

europe's energy security. well, what would you make of an assessment like that? why, my, all the old assessment of the, of the conflict is inter alia the following. we help on the one side, us with 100. yep. and we that insurance, if we're the white glove, the economy of russia and yet on anything i think a lot of you know, what i may say to that is funny. we have seen that in all right. meant to come up and bring and it's so yes it is. and it's very new lindell and the the remedy that was more money.

i am thing trying to in fact your dad doesn't like you hold on for a polish i so i just can't get this taken good enough to fully understand your comments today. karen, can i so the former austrian foreign minister, i also forgiveness a 2nd time we will come back to you as soon as possibly convenient. thank you, karen. thank you. goodbye. thank you for your patience today for the program here on off into national. so expanding african connections, that's what the presidents of tanzania and can you have agreed to do after a contract was signed off on constructing a major gas pipeline linking the 2 countries. the 600 kilometer long project is designed to boost trade or lower industrial energy costs and will keep prices down in the private sector for both nations shall hold completion date yet to be announced. but i tons in here and kenya and not the only african states i seek into

abroad and their energy prospects are. uganda is also set to complete an oil pipeline of its own. that is in the face though, of pressure from the e. u, for the nation. to stop its extraction and production efforts is a credible attack. le can tell us more. this fights pressure by the european union parliament for all extractive activities to be halted over a pipeline. uganda is determined to see it completed. the you claims that the pipeline is a potential threat to the environment and threatens a fragile ecosystem. all the while european countries are scouring african countries for fossil fuel resources. uganda, it seems is determined to see through and it's looking eastwards for new friends who will help it re allies. the project and china stands ready to assist. we hope

that these projects will continue without disruptions and be completed in time so that it would achieve the desired results for national economic and social development. for you. candor, the east africa cold oil pipeline is a political hot potato and has seen protest inside uganda by environmentalists and right groups who claim that it is a threat to the environment and will see people displace the e. u concurs with that argument and also claims that it could lead to len grabbed by the ugandan government. uganda insists that the e u is wrong. the resolution is based on misinformation and deliberate misrepresentation of key facts on environment and human rights protection. it represents the highest level on neo colonialism and imperialism against the sovereignty of uganda and tanzania. a leaders are currently scouring for fossil fuels, and they use more of them than any african country. and despite this, this hardly a word of condemnation from brussels,

but the use as it is intent on stopping the financing of fossil fuel projects, even for poor countries like uganda, even though such a project could help the country fund it's transition from fossil fuel energy dependency we think the bank should now go further and also exclude all coal and oil lated investments and further outline of policy and gradually phasing out gas power generation to only invest in gas. in exceptional circumstances. only a few weeks ago, the german chancellor was on the continent in senegal, securing guess, and frances, the manual mclauren was also doing the same in algeria. eddying sold to a gaping wound. is that developing nations are watching in real time, the west, the nations hypocrisy telling developing nations to turn their backs on fossil fuel while they go scouring for them. but despite this, uganda is determined to chart its own cause and soldier on with the completion of

this pipeline project. this by the finger wagging from brussels. and as for most african countries, as they continue to look at the hypocrisy of the west, that he's coming to the continent looking for fossil fuels, while telling them to turn their backs on them. i think of course, ugandan and all the parties the states butner states in this project i saw rinse, did have the right to do what they want to do. that government is rate and extracting the oil because it develops that can't cheat, let just sake nigeria. whereas i should about if the government compensates to people fairly not leaving them homeless and oil can help us grow as i well, it's a good to have you with us for today's program here on asi, international live from moscow. just want to give you a quick reminder about the russian energy week forum that is kicking off today here on the russian capital of a 3000 participants from 70 different countries. now mingling together here in

moscow with his energy for him, i just want to let you know that one of the announcements so far from basically day one of this form is that the russian energy joint gas problem and china will now switch payments in equal share to roubles and you one, now this is a very important story. it's also connected to something, but saudi arabia wants to do when it sells its oil to beijing. they want to switch to the reality and you want as well, what does that all mean? it means that they're cutting away from the petro daughter. so today's energy weak form in moscow. here, there are some big developments happening. we appreciate you joining us for this program on our, to international. anything you may have missed today. you can always catch up on an auto dot com, otherwise, we'll see you back here. the top of the ally. mm. ah. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a

robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at that point, obviously is too great trust rather than fear a with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot protective phone existence with ah, louis center god is throwing in the old hon and the snow falls apart. when this comes with the last dance,

half of what i feel is when sprung from ours, from them to lower the do it in b c machine you could give to way in the pals teacher skills on the edge on the brown asia. so was to let them know diagnose in a little bulk them in the crucial chest middle school. and also i was meaning with the modem is not as good p t d still not off with us, but nonetheless, he should be miss misplaced in the middle south. and you can give us his napa did it. what is the battle stuff on this? don't see this material, but let's just put in the so clay unit should update those little bit just to look me. it doesn't help with me. she go. she returned with dr. young this my area to handle

most of his emotional speech, which was with lisa, there's openings and it took a little of doing piecemeal. mm hm. with, with both both the models you need to do with a good a, a dollar a year. normally

with the personal number you were here with a a in the ukrainian oligarchs, private armies. a murdering thug had a salary of $1300.00 a month for this the well nationalist battalion fight.
