what the bond is she might new on a site isn't more similar to the you know, put them out to give us the high rise apartment building in the western russian city of belgrade is damaged in a rocket attack that reportedly came from ukrainian forces firing across the border also head on the program today, asia plays a key role in building a multi polar world. was part of last year. the address to other pads of state out a major regional summit in catholics. this person unusually publish revelations from the grange zone, the media outlet, purport the show, the u. k. plotting an attack on the crimean bridge,

months ahead of last weekend's bombing. there we speak to a member of the projects investigation team about those allegations. every very detailed proposal filling out exactly where the stripe bridge, how it can be achieved, either through cruise missiles by our team, with scuba diving, the around the clock across the world. this is our pleasure to have your company today. my name's you know me. we begin with breaking news from belgrade. the western russian said he located not far from the ukrainian border. the murray, they're a safer high rise apartment building in the city center has been damaged as a result of a rocket attack. the belgrade has repeatedly come under shelling, reportedly by ukrainian forces firing across the nearby frontier on our defense

system has been protecting the city by intercepting incoming rockets. according to mirror on sun is on off, there's been no reported casualties. so far more images come into the program, clearing the, showing residents rushing it onto the streets amid the attack with rocket fragments scattered across the urea. some nearby cars were damaged by shards from the project authority. se, and onto your defense system has been working to protect the city from incoming artillery fire. lar, tease told quarter, joins me now in the studio with the latest details, all not high dollar. so belgrade, targeted again, take a through today's incident, while we already have an official statement from the governor of russia's border region of belgrade, he says that fragments rocket fragments hit a high rise residential building in the city of belgrade. now these fragments came

from a rocket that was intercepted by russia's air defense systems there. and he's also said that there are emergency services already on the ground there, along with the mayor of belgrade that so let's take a listen to actually the latest information we can get from him on the ground. you know, shortly after noon, an apartment building was hit by a project that had been repelled by an anti air defense system. the damage can be seen on the top floor. 2 cars were struck by fragments. there are currently no reports of any one injured emergency service workers are examining the apartments and the residents are being evacuated. there's also numerous eye witness accounts coming out as well online. how are people describing what happened? well, almost immediately after this happened, there was a flood of information about it across messaging apps across the internet. as i said earlier, emergency services are already on the scene and we've heard several, i witness statements across the internet, corroborating the fact that they arrived very quickly and that everything the

strike as well. what came as a shock to people? but we also saw the videos and published sci fi tv footage of what exactly happened . you should be able to see that on your screen right now. there's a lot of it's, so i'm just going to go through the major ones that i saw on the messaging apps and internet. one of these videos actually shows the moment that these rocket fragments made impacts. and there is actually a playground in that scene where you can see that people were running away from immediately after that impact you can see. and a lot of the videos smoke coming from the top of the high rise building as well as smoke from the street coming from that impact. and there's even a photos of a huge rocket fragments that landed in a playground next to a school. there. it's not clear whether that playground was the same playground that was shown in the cctv footage. but something interesting to note on the last the belgrade region has repeatedly come under artillery fire from ukrainian

territory with some of those attacks leading to casualties. why is this area being hit? so war fence regularly? is it because of its proximity simply to the border? what does have to do with that map to say these attacks? not only on belgrade, but on russian border regions in general have actually been happening since russia launched a special military operation earlier this year. around that time, i was reporting from rust of region, which is also on the border, and they were also bombing around there. they were bombing the border region of bronze coursed and sal good back then as well. now, like you mentioned bel, grids location is very close to ukraine. the city of belgrade is actually, i think, i would say that it's the closest major russian city to where ukrainian firing positions and forces are located right now. so, you know, this is so it makes sense why ukrainian forces would specifically want to increase

the amount of artillery strikes on that city, specifically as they're trying to hit russian territory as much as possible. but also i, thankfully, we can say no casualties because the defense system seemed to work. yeah. ok, donald quarter, thank you very much. right, another story today on a busy news day flooding. we're putting her said talks are underway with uncross to construct a new pipeline system transport helps for both europe and asia. britain has met with turkey is present dirty one. the current security and cooperation summit in catholic was the russian president emphasize that turkey is a reliable business partner. caution though that this fights attempted recent tax. i'm turkey's existing pipeline system and crew would be a key provider for global and key market, but also met with other asian heads of states. the conference r, teasley, a financial reports from the event. we already heard plenty of stone words just as we expected. here in aston us speaking at this thick summit of the conference on

interaction and confidence building measures in asia, one reporting stressed that today's mitten is strategically very important has it comes at the time of new world order, emerging non weston centric one. the world wide report, the pointed out is finally really become in multi polar and asia indeed plays a very important role in these global changes. while we're putting also spoke a lot about global current challenges such as terrorism and poverty. he called on getting rid of all artificial obstacles and suggested global financial system should be reconsidered. let's take a listen. if there were your energy price volatility leads to a decline in the quality of life in developing nations as well as develop states. moreover, there is a real threat of hunger and social unrest, especially in poor regions. russia is making every effort to provide critical commodities to countries in need,

and we call for the elimination of all artificial illegitimate barriers to resolve urgent issues. we believe that it is necessary to change the principles of the global financial system which allowed for decades, the so called golden 1000000000 to live at the expense of others. we consider the need to support national currencies to be a 1st priority measure. this kind of measure would benefit the financial sovereignty of all our states. the conference is a multinational forum eights mission main mission is to strengthen corporation and dollar grid when it's $27.00 member states. and a big number of observer is to promote peace, security, and stability. in asia and actually beyond and as all the leaders who already gave speech here at the meeting earlier today, pointed out is very powerful and the conference should use its influence and potential to push for global peace more actively. also speaking about changing collins of global powers was the turkish president, have the gang said that we all are one big family. we have mutual problems and

should work together. work hard to find mitchell ways comfortable for everybody. ways to deal with it. and he also called on stopping all those who support terrorism in the world. the speech of the iranian leader was also very strong. mister racy condemned the united states of america and called its policies behavior and economic terry's washing dawned them with danish washington in its allies. have turned to a policy of destabilization which has made around successful and has led to rely on its authority and the necessary priorities and mechanisms that enhance our power over countries that are sponsors of terrorism should not hide behind the fight against terrorism and hide behind financial mechanisms such countries cannot be reliable partners in the new emerging world order. yet all of the new asia in today's world requires cooperation to build new models that can fight well against economic and security challenges. after the saw my to will, there will be

a big number, all bilateral meeting soul. so here in asked and i put in and out of the guy are expected to discuss ukraine crumbling, believes that the turkish president is going to inform his russian count about and career plans to organize talks between moscow and the west. regarding the situation in ukraine, we hope the discussion will be very interesting and useful. gremlins aid, sat ahead of this meeting and you know that it comes just hours after the un adopt the resolution condemning the accession of the for new former ukrainian regions to the russian federation. so there is a lot of force to discuss to talk about why my point is also expected to sit with. he's catherine, counterpart. this will be their 1st face to face meeting after the outbreak of the pandemic. they will be discussing corporation analogy filled and particular within the framework all the forum of gas exporting countries, russia and carter,

of course, are a big and important part to have of ads. why wouldn't is also expected to meet her mahmoud abbas to the leader of palestine to discuss israel, palestine and conflict. and the president visited by john buck, who's ongoing and continued tensions with 11 will be topping the agenda of course. and i'm reported actually staying here in asked an hour til friday when he's going to attend the mission of the leaders of sci i as the commonwealth of independent state. and we already heard from prowling that her discussion, the meeting will be focusing on our investment and trade partnership and made weston a sanctions. technically ukraine, east part of c i asked, but key of never assigned the organization is charged back in 1990. so it has never become a member, so the meeting will be without ukraine, but tele,

about it will keep you updated and how it's going here on the ground. now, according to an investigation conducted by the greys own media outlet, the british secret service had plotted to destroy russia's kurt bridge long before saturdays attack. the critical infrastructure links the crimean peninsula to the russian mainland, and the grays own phase in obtained correspondence and internal documents plotting the operation. let's go through it. the files appeared to be from a presentation back in april, cold, audacious, which details the organizing of a maritime rate operation for key. if not, it was allegedly put to gather by high ranking british intelligence officers on nightline. the complex scheme to contain and limit rushes armed forces in crimea, military maneuvers near russia's shores. the detonation of the kurt bridge carried the ultimate goal of degrading unrestricted russian nearby operations in the black

unresolved seas. according to the plot, the destruction of breach of the catch trade would require a cruise missile battery to aid the 2 concrete pillars or the sides of the central still arch, which will cause a complete structural favor. this will prevent any rotary supply from the russian mainland to crimea, and temporarily disrupt the shipping light. while the plan, the operation included not only the british secret service but also high ranking european politicians. according to the revelations, one of them was a former list. few in the defense minister who had previously been accused of working for british intelligence, another participants this claim to have been a veteran high ranking nature advisor. while our british military veteran, hugh ward is said to have created the proposal and detailed the roadmap kit thornburg who took part in the investigation offline. the main details to my colleague research shay. essentially, this is

a proposal that was put together by a senior and rather obscure british military veteran who he was at the request of an individual. and chris donnelly, his request on behalf of order is to bitchy it's. it was, as you say, the formulas do any defense minister. and since that has been both sorts of robert g. b activities like funneling boss amounts of weaponry from bulk area to ukraine. yes. these are very, very detailed proposals. spelling out exactly where to strike the bridge, how it can be achieved, either through cruise missiles or via or team of elite scuba divers. tom's with particular century devices or in the underwater drones. the attack never happened in the way that was outlined in this plan that you've been exposed to that you've got your hands on. why do you think that is? yes, it differed actually in execution. to watch them full of horror the over the not

february. it was, was different, but curiously, in the hours within mere hours of, of, of, of the, the bombing on a separate commemorative, postage stamped, immortalizing the event was released in you print now that post to start to take 2 explosions in the exact spot that she would identified as target one of the ukrainian administers from the rod. he said in the wake of the coach bridge bombing, he said this is just the beginning. do you think there are other potential plans that have been drawn up by various intel communities? this wasn't meant to be one of this was only meant to be the beginning of a wide range and campaign targeting crimea and russian assets in and around the area. and it was very telling with the wall street journal, i mentioned that the crimea was the new focus, the new focal point of the war. and that's where you crave be targeting. and i mean, i think if the been this massive retaliation by moscow starting monday,

we might have seen more elements of that proposal become very, very, very real ok. something else to tell you by today, the un general assembly has adopted a resolution to condemn moscow for the recent referendums in which for territories voted overwhelmingly to join the russian federation. 143 members voted in favor of the resolution 5 nations against the another. 35 countries, abstained the russian ambassador to the you and condemned the resolution. the head of the vote saying that some nations were constantly being lobbied to support it. susan plugs up with news, adopting this resolution. the western countries try to achieve their geopolitical goals. and again use the members of the general assembly as extras. expressing commitment to the protection of the international law, which we heard from the representatives of us and other natal members today is a bright example of hypocrisy and double standards. the facts should not be hidden

for these past few days. many of our colleagues from the global south came and told us about the economic blackmail and direct threats which they hear from the west. so all these events happening within the united nations general assembly should be seen through the prism of the western blackmail. this is unacceptable. there was a resolution before the un general assembly, that's the body that contains all member states of the united nation. the resolution was urging countries not to recognize the territories that just voted in referendums to join with russia. now at this point, the results are end of otis passed. a 143 countries voted in favor of it. a 5 countries including russia, voted against nicaragua, loaded with russia bela roost loaded with russia. north korea voted with russia as did the syrian arab republic. and in addition to that, there were 35 countries, including china and india, and a number of african countries that made the decision to abstain and not vote on

this resolution before the voting. we heard from the russian representative then it took to the floor and pointed out that these referendums, it was almost a 100 percent vote to join with russia. the people in these regions have spoken and made it abundantly clear that they do want to be part of the russian federation. they don't want to be part of ukraine, a country that's been bombing and shelling them for the past 8 years. and that the referendums were carried out in accordance with international law, despite claims and attempts by the west to prove otherwise, no concrete evidence that international norms weren't followed. and the referendums was actually put forward. the usa even use economic and political coersion to make sure countries voted in line with it. they did everything to prove that a secret vote from jane play sally, one of the forest countries to be on the record. and so they could retaliate against countries that, that might vote the wrong way. i, in their opinion, now russian ambassador and nancy pointed out the hypocrisy how the united states

and its allies seem to recognize the sovereignty and independence of regions at their own convenience. when it came to the situation in kosovo on the group, you see this new critique you refer to those criticising. our recent referendums were one of the main supporters of kosovo. independence they insisted, kosovo had a right to gain independence if their population was threatened and the rights were violated. this was the official western position which was presented in the international court of justice. but there was no threat to the albanians in kosovo in 2008. there were no referendums in kosovo. they just declared their independence . but the west accepted that back then they insisted the international law did not prohibit them from gaining independence. but what do we hear from them now that kosovo is a different thing? so nato was ready to rescue albanians in kosovo from non existent threats. but the people have done boss, her son in saratoga, apparently, according to their logic,

are 2nd class people. and they're killing by the key of regime gets no attention from the highly civilized west because they support russia. it's also important to note that we heard some very important speeches from countries that voted to abstain. the chinese representative took to the floor of the un security council and pointed out that it was needed to resolve the conflict in ukraine peacefully. and on top of that, they called for dialogue between russia and ukraine. regarding the situation, they emphasized that sanctions against russia are not going to resolve the conflict . and in addition to that, they made clear that this resolution was only going to intensify the disagreements . now we also heard from the representative of india and one handy, it's up to the floor. they can down the depth of all civilians who been killed in the conflict. they went on to call for dialogue and not simply to to grand stand in town. the podium and pass, you know, big resolutions,

but actually bring the conflict to a close. that was the point that india that and that lives across the developing world are depending on that taking place. so why don't interesting day at the united nations i was, was a public vote. every country was forced to make a public statement and we heard from different countries, different aspects of this conflict and how it's affecting the world. we're certainly reflected on the un general assembly washington, lawmakers have vowed consequences for saudi arabia in number, calling for a reevaluation of their countries relations with re add. after a global cartel of oil producing countries, led by the middle eastern kingdom and russia decided to slush. i part of the commodity despite us goals to increase it. r t corresponding marina cost river has been taking a closer look at the people's on global energy markets. washington is once again proven at hand from because it's now getting what it wants. and what does the us do

when it switches are ignored? it resorts to threats and intimidation. there's going to be some consequences for what they've done with russia. what kind of consequences manenda says suspend all arm sales. is that something you'd consider? i'm not going to get into what i consider what i have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has shopped up, journalists, has engaged in massive political repression. for one reason, we wanted to know that when the chips are down, when there was a global crisis, that the saudis would choose us instead of russia. well, they didn't, they chose russia and there's gotta be consequences for that. so to be clear, because so he wasn't a deal breaker. repressions warrants a deal breaker, but saw them with russia is crossing the line. so we'll go to americans all riled up oil prices. there are some go up after open class decided to reduce oil production by 2000000 barrels a day. we are locked and injuring the energy market. we are providing security

stability to the energy markets. everything as a price. energy security or the price is one. this is humiliating for the us administration, especially for jo by then flew to saudi arabia himself this summer, asking them to increase production in order to reduce global reliance on supplies from russia. this was supposed to hit russia where it hurts since the beginning of russia conflict to the crane, the u. s. and all the western nations have been calling a boy called on ross and energy supplies. the us stopped imports in russian oil earlier this year. and the e, you placed a partial embargo on rush and fuel. a price cap is next and they're trying to drive china and india into their scheme. but so for that hasn't worked either because they have not only refused to sanction russell over the crane conflict,

but they have recently stepped up purchases of russian oil. and now of course there's this. so it's really not going according to plan for america and not a good look for washington, especially ahead of the midterm elections when americans are already wriggling for months of high petrol prices. with due respect to reason, you have high prices in the united states because you have a refining shortage that has been in existence for more than 20 years. you haven't built refineries and decades. it's a result of the shortage of finding capacity that you have a shortage of gasoline. and an increase in the price of gas need has nothing to do with the fundamentals of crude oil supply and demand bought. it's easier for america to blame all the countries for its own problems, especially if russia is involved. so now it's payback time. i do see it as a deliberately hostile act and, and why would we have troops defending a country that that behaves this way towards us?

we sail massive amounts of arms to the saudis. i think we need to rethink those sales. i think we need to lift the exemption that we have given this opec plus cartel from us price fixing liability. i think we need to look at our troop presence in the middle east. what thought about taken away opec's community? what did he mean by that? well, there's already a bill circulated in washington to su, open plus countries in what they have called, no peck. what saudi arabia did to help putting continued wages, despicable, vicious war against ukraine will long be remembered by americans. we are looking at all the legislative tools to best deal with this appalling and deeply cynical action, including the bill known as no peck. my bipartisan no peck act would crack down on these tactics by the foreign oil cartel. it's already cleared the judiciary committee on a bipartisan basis, and there is no reason why it shouldn't pass as a part of our upcoming defense authorization effort. our energy supply as

a matter of national security. and in case that doesn't do the trick, there are planning support 100 on minds vessels in the waters around the red sea, just in case that's what you get after 70 years of friendship. as a former secretary of state, henry kissinger, one said to be an enemy of america can be dangerous, but to be a friend is faithful with friends like that. who needs enemies? like all the people who are proposing the no pet law and proposing other laws due to essentially essential saudi arabia, president biden is simply electioneering. the fact of the matter is that the rising inflation in the united states is only partly due to the war and ukraine and the up he was in the energy market. the 2nd thing is that the, in the decision of opec to got production is actually rather modest decision.

they're cutting it by 2000000 bows. the actual amount even less because some countries are already producing that. and it's a purely commercial division who couldn't blame the producers and suppliers of oil for making a small got introduction to stabilized prices. i think that's exactly what they're doing. i mean, the united states has always had this problem with that during about democracy has never been about democracy. it's always been about countries that are willing to do the u. s. bidding and particularly willing to do the u. s. bidding or at the games, the interest of the people. so that has already been the case for the united states and that continues to be. so i today of course, as the decibel level of the regularly called human rights. and democracy emanating from washington is constantly being wretched. up ratcheted up. the hypocrisy becomes even more clear if you'd like to have your say on that, or indeed any of this, our stories you find r t dot com is the place to do it all was good. to hear what you're thinking out

there, so why not leave a comment or to my family? ah ah ah, ah ah,

ah. ah, in 2014 tea village, the so called counter terrorist operation against ukraine. se regions that had refused to recognize the code. over the years, ukrainian troops committed thousands of crimes, many of which have no statute of limitations

with you won't say it. oh you did it in a in working with washing has all the way that the money and solution. yes rather more.
