a, isn't it please, and you'll have to learn this maritza to handle most of his emotional specially to renew with this. it is up to him. it took a little of going to school. ah, bad lines right now. a naughty international at asia plays a key role in building a multi polar world that was part of florida may putin's address to other heads of state. i'd have a major regional summit on going into castaneda pulls up with a high rise apartment building in the western russian city of belgrade is damaged in a rocket attack, reportedly by ukrainian forces firing across the border. saudi arabia reveals, had received a request from the biden administration to delay oil production cuts by

a month coinciding with the crucial mid term elections. didn't know van with the 1st a jammed with big getting stories. your naughty international is not just good to have you with us. it's important that you're here to get a clear picture of what's really happening in the world today. so vladimir putin has now said that talks are underway with ankara to construct a new pipeline system. the project envisions turkey is a foremost gas transport hub for both europe and asia. if there was interest from turkey and our possible buyers in other countries, we could consider building another pipeline system and creating a gas hub in turkey for sales to 3rd countries, especially european ones. if of course, they are interested, vladimir putin also met with our many other heads of state at the conference as autism or if an option and now takes us through it in ostena.

ah full words just as we expected here in ass and i was speaking at the 6 summit of the conference on interaction and confidence building measures in asia. why we're important stressed that today's mitten is strategically very important. has it comes at the time of new world order, emerging non western centric one? the world wide report be pointed out is finally really becoming multi power 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 terrorists, men, poverty, he called on getting rid of all artificial obstacles and suggested global financial system should be reconsidered. let's take a listen. if the energy price volatility leads to

a decline in the quality of life and 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 hand the

conference should use its influence and potential to push for global peace more actively. also speaking about changing balance of global power is, was the turkish president of the gang said that we all are one big family. we have mutual problems and should work together, work hard to find mutual ways comfortable for everybody. ways to deal with it. and he also called on stopping all those who support terrorism in the world. this feature of the iranian leader was also very strong, mr. raised to condemn the united states of america and called its policies behavior and economic terry's. washing dawn with washington and 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. why me put in actually staying here in ashton, i till friday when he's going to attend the mission of the leaders of c, i as commonwealth of independent states. and we already heard from crowning that, heard the discussion, the meeting will be focusing on our investment and trade partnership and made weston as sanctions. technically ukraine, east part of c i as 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 tell lot about it will keep you updated and how it's going here on the ground. time to learn more here on the program with autism on the voice of the host of worlds of thought. always

a pleasure to see you. good to see as well. thanks for coming in on this important day. it's a big day. it's a big week as well. when you talk about the energy, well, every day the big david, well it is, i mean, history is being written every day. it's saying we have the witnesses, you know, we are living on various talking times. this is just very quickly here. my 1st question. i got to get into this for you before we run out of time. president putin saying if turkey is interested in russia, we're consider creating a gas hub in turkey. there's so many potential implications here. how do you assess, how do you read the proposal? well, he said that yesterday and today what we're hearing from i, he's people, people in his circle is that turkey responded positively to this proposal. and the teams from both sides are looking very deliberately and very urgent feel to something like this. now we haven't heard any confirmation from the turkish side yet, apart from saying that you know, prisoners on received this offer with big interest. but

i think this is something that would flatter cher kit a great deal because it offers it then opportunity to raise and standing internationally and economically. and this is something that president or the one has been after for many, many years. now i have to say that even a couple of years ago, even before the turkish stream was constructed, something like this was considered, there wasn't an idea of a major gas hub on the turkish greek border. so i think there are outside talking about the resist that they think that idea with an implication that it would be your opinion, consumers who will have to build the european infrastructure. russia, after all these sabotage or some, somebody can call it terrorist attacks on a gas. pipelines is not going to build the whole thing at its own expense, but if there's willingness from the european side, i think this project has great potential. well, you mentioned talk stream, i mean, let's just go back very, very quickly before before russia gifted toki but took stream. well, it was,

it's also great and very, which of deal for russia? hold on a summer. i'm at the time turkey had at least 70 percent national debt. that was energy based debt. the moment took stream with developing came on line turkey was already being lifted out from the dark and gloomy economic areas took stream. was there now we're looking at it another possible hub that might come to turkey. now this is interesting here, it would be russian energy going to turkey. and it's not a turkey, essentially where it goes from there. and could it be the same idea on that russian energy goes to toki, then turkey sells that to europe, and it's still russian energy going to, you know, this is exactly what the russia proposes. and i think it's m, i cannot say that is a risk free proposition because as you know, before russia was selling gas, you're buying ukraine. and even before the recent confrontation, you know, times 60 years ago, there were constant delegations of by russia using its allergy as as

a weapon and constant problems with transiting countries. so, you know, selling your energy is through an intermediary, comes with it with certain risks, but apparently the turkish russian relationships are good enough for put into trust or the on the now from that, and i think what the russian ones at this point is deliver its energy somewhere and then leave it up to turkey or, or 3rd, countries to decide if they wanted to say that one more thing because i think you mentioned something very, very important. been something that many of our european years may not fully understand is that russian affordable russian gas provides very important basis for many countries. it used to provide very important foundation for european economy. i mean is the basis for your grouping prosperity? and this is something that europeans no longer supposedly one. but as you mentioned, the turkish example demonstrates that within a couple of years, that could give

a country a tremendous benefit, tremendous economic bench. and russian is doing that. not out of the goodness of a heart. it's also a beneficial deal for, for russia, but what is wanted is to have a levels equal, equal based partnership with whoever wants to deal with. and usually beneficial contract says it should be without it being perhaps a, unilaterally based a contractual agreement. talk to me, talk to me about this and me for example, that you mentioned, we mentioned talk to him a few moments ago. no stream gets sabotaged. and improvements had recently that somebody tried to blow up the talk stream, the russian portion of the turks stream. and he also said that, you know, they, russia is not being given access to the damage parts of the know stream pipeline. but i think what, what i read him, he's a, he's words and he never said it out loud. but i think the russian side is essentially biting it's time. and they believe that when winter months come,

the europeans may make may change the attack. and they ultimately, i think they know fully excluding a possibility of repairing what's what, at least, what's left on the one pipeline that they feel as put inside under pressure. assuming that it could be functional, whether the other 3 can be repaired, the have to be seen. but at this point of time, the europeans, as i said, i'm not giving russia any access to that blocking russia. sweeping has actually come out and said, not only are we not going to allow you to be a part of the investigation, we're not even going to tell you the results of the investigation of the scandals in countries out there. we have had weeks now to clear up a more pop, any signs of any evidence. now they've opened up the water to all maritime vessels to sail on by as much as they want this, you know, this district be a forensic seeing like noticing why russia hasn't been given that opportunity. you know, i think for russia everything is cool here already. i mean russians very straight

forward that about who they believe to be after these acts of industrial terrorism id and those pipelines were delivering gas to europe. so if you are interested in or saving what happened to it's very affordable supply of fresh and gas. so be it, i mean the russians can sell their gas to the turks, they're selling the gas to the chinese. they're selling the gas to the japanese. they're developing liquid liquefied natural gas facility. so if europe is not interested, that's okay. there is a question, is that no one at this point can answer is where europe is going to find the substitution for those states, simply not on the market. as a french foreign minister said 36 hours ago, we're going to have to pay $4.00 times the price to. so the l. n g come from america. they can sell it to europe 4 times the price from america domestic, they, they already doing that. they're selling it at $44.00 times higher prices. but the problem with alan, jeez, the, the, the fleet of allen g hunkers is very limited. i think it's roughly 300 island g

tankers in operation. you can build them on the shore with notice. so even if, i mean, obviously the american companies want to make a box right now, but the ability to do that is very limited. plus 2 d liquefy natural. that's natural gas. you also need to build infrastructure. that's enormous investments, which again, at this point of time, europe is not really able to make so again, you know, they, as we say here in russia, they're cutting on those 2 slides minus. yeah, this is exactly what's going on. and the thing is, the europe is going to find itself and putting the pump is going to find itself left out in the cold, at this rate. because as you say, russian energy goes east, it goes far east as well. you know, you talk about america, for example, it's reserve all reserves at the lowest in like 70 odd years. inflation in. busy germany, the highest and 71. lisa americans have their strategic oil reserves. european don't, it's down to 40 percent or less. it's down to 40 percent or less,

which is not a good place for america to be. yeah. but they, the europeans have very little to sustain that. went to look at the western side so, so europe's got trouble. america has definitely got trouble starting with the policy. it's coming in the near future. but now look at what we have in moscow walks on a, we have this russia energy week forum going on. so 3000 people representing 70 countries here in the russian capital. then you've got the multi regional conference and asked the narcotics on you've got all basically nearly all of the world's major movers and shakers in the energy markets coming to russia. let me ask you this. so russian catholic, stan, i'm in catholic, son is a sovereign can let me ask you this, let me ask you this. the soviet union and russia never agreed to join the opec cartel. they never agreed to join. they wanted to maintain some sort of autonomy and independence with their own energy policy. the soviet union and russia never joined opec. but now summer saying the putin is actually now at the helm of opec washington. it is saying that saudi arabia has moved opec underneath russia's wing

. russia's energy policy is being supported by saudi arabia de facto opec. and washington is not happy. and you know that saudi arabia's for in the thirty's ministry just today, just a couple of hours ago that issued a statement suggesting that this is a total nonsense. that decision was motivated exclusively by cannot make reasons. but there was also an interesting warning in that statement. suggesting that they will not accept any dictates from anyone else, even though they strive for beneficial relations with all the countries, but they will not accept allegations and dictates from anyone else. and i think that sort of hints, the media reports about very intense pressure that the bite and ministration tries to level on the saudi arabia. on the eve of the crucial mid term elections, the person that ultimately didn't work. and i think that's also a nice illustration of where we are in the world today because saudi arabia,

the representatives, were the just, i meant that you mentioned in moscow, they are buying russian oil for, rubles, despite all the american pressure. and, you know, they're doing like everybody else is doing these days, them minding their own business, you know, because this countries get together not to, you know, concoct some strategy. again, the united states are against the was there simply monitoring or keeping that eyes on their own interest. and i think that, i mean, i think that the, the notion of sovereignty is moving away from being some, you know, ground political idea to being an economic necessity. in this day and age when everything is unpredictable, you need to be able to make decisions very fast and without waiting for any guidance. and this is what those countries are doing. next time you come and join us are on the studio on a, we're going to go the other angle on this and talk about what is the future of the petro dollar, as all these energy producers this way. if it still exists,

if it's not on the host of policies will default always a pleasure. thank you very much. should be with you. thank you and thank you for joining us there. we're not see we do stuff. start with our top story right now for this afternoon and artillery a talk on the western russians to belgrade. of course, look at it very close to the ukranian border, the mayor that says a high rise apartment building of the city center was damaged by shrapnel and fragments of an incoming rocket. the vulgar road repeatedly came under shelling a portly by ukrainian forces following across the border. and a fence system has been protecting the city by intercepting the incoming rockets. thus, according to the mayor and tony, even off, as we understand right now, there would be no reports of any casualties. so bring in some of the latest images are showing residents who have to just rush out of out of buildings into the street . amidst the top with shrapnel and fragments all over the area, found some nearby cars were damaged as well. a bit earlier in the day,

not long ago, donald quarter was talking to my colleague union o'neill. well, 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 rushes, air defense systems. there, and he's also said that there are emergency services already on the ground there, along with the mayor of algorithm. so let's take listen to actually the latest information we can get from him on the ground. shortly after noon and apartment building was hit by a projectile that had been repelled by an air defense system. the damage can be seen on the top floor. 2 cars were struck by fragments. there are currently no reports of anyone injured. emergency service workers are examining the apartments, and the residents are being evacuated. you know, 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, 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 impact. and there was actually a playground in that scene where you could see that people were running away from immediately after that impact. you can see in 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. 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 often? so 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 bell grid, 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 the roster of region, which is also on the border and they were also bombing around there. they were bombing the border region of bronze courses and bell grid 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 are located right now. 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. so ukraine's a top diplomat has revealed to notorious russian pranksters both on and lexus, but kiev was behind a number of attacks on the belgrade region along with crimea renewed. the crimea is not an immediate operation target. but if you ask me, who are the ones blowing things up in crimea, or in belgrade? i will answer you privately. yes, we are the ones doing the quite a scope there. let's cross live now to alexi, still offer the prankster known as lexus. so you were involved in this and i pretty, pretty well, pretty shocking revelations. i have to say, i mean, let's talk about this problem today, but the ukrainian foreign minister, cool, ever, you openly said it was ukraine, that conducted stripes on belgrade and crimea. did you, did you? it's such a revelation from him. yes,

you did. you did expect you did expect him to say that? did your so i did not expect from him any special fair words, but he said that it was true that any abrasions that was made by ukrainian down meant it was made by with controlling the you it. so this is the truth. so what about, what about the comments from the heart of the russian foreign minister spokeswoman maria is a hot of a. she said a cool ever has basically confessed to terrorism. is that an applicant applicable description? in this case, i'm sure that what you korean government make it. this is kind of terry and the harbor just confirmed that. so she learned what she has said in our

interview and it was the truth. and so i, i'm sure that she's interview, you can reach it, and learn everything, but he has said in our children now. so, let's see, what about, what about what about reaction alexia? do you expect any, any western countries, western press to report a reaction from ukrainian, our partners or any with partners? so, but we have got the reaction from map. so from who we have reached that guys. so you say that yes, i know. i haven't seen the video, but i'm not sure that it is real,

but the fact is we reach many people not only kind of want to so not only am minister of foreign affairs, but many other people. so it's interesting why, why, why, why do you think, why, why do you think that your story, your revelations and not being picked up by the western press? i think that because they don't want to show that they're not. right. because there are, there was, there are lots of yellow papers out there like the daily mail for example, the sun and that they would love this kind of stuff. surely they would need to report to show they don't want to show real olympics. and i want to show what is happening now, because when we look into them, they are looking, they try to show that they're everything is ok and everything is okay. but

in fact, when we are pulling them, they're talking that it's not really perfect. and they're talking to us that it's like so, so well let's go, i really enjoy, enjoy your work. enjoy your work lexus. appreciate what you do. and i do hope your story and continued stories get more traction. alexys toyota of a lexus the price to appreciate you joining us, your naughty international. good luck with your future endeavors. le saudi arabia has released a statement, claiming the biden administration asked re add for a one month delay to opec process recent decision to cut oil production. the timing of that request exactly. match the midterm elections in the u. s. for the 8th of november, re, i'd also explain why it rejected the call the government of the kingdom clarify,

or is continuous consultation with the u. s. administration. that all economic analyses indicate that postponing the opec plus decision for a month, according to what has been suggested would have had negative economic consequences, causing a lot of mouthwash kellum, often to join us on this story. well, caleb, you know it's there so many angles to this story. how long ago was that joe biden went to the cap and hand asking for an oil production boost. now there's an old production cut. as far as i understand the white house, there's a saudi arabia is a lining itself with rushes energy policy, which means russia and opec plus and nearly at one point working together, bring us more about biden, his administration, and the motives towards re at will. sure. this is a pretty big revelation. they're letting a pretty big cat out of the bag. but it seems that the priority of us leaders, when it came to asking opec to move ahead. but their decision that they asked to

delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results, made it clear it appears the november a mid term elections that are said take place here in the united states with a new congress will be elected members the house of representative numbers, the u. s. senate will be elected or reelected. and that seems to be what the issue was now. the democrats are furious with saudi arabia. they're all this talk of calling the 70 year relationship between the usa and daddy radian question. here's some of what democratic party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing to play ball with the united states. recent consequences for what they've done with russia suspend all arm sales. is that something you'd consider? i'm not going to get into what i'd consider what i'm have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. i do see it as a deliberately hostile act. and what, why would we have troops defending a country that behaves this way towards us? for years, 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 were down, when there was a global crisis, that the saudis would choose us instead of russia. well, they didn't, we, i'm democrats calling for a full halt on us weapons to saudi arabia. usa continues to supply value ravia with weapons. there's the ongoing war in yemen. and there's some democrats that now feel like they want to, they want to cut off the supply weapon. they want all us troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed. and there's the no pack bill. this is a law that would enable people and entities in the united states to buy a lawsuit and take countries to court for violating and manipulating the oil prices . a negative effect in the united states is quite dramatic. now the saudi foreign minister expect this will all blow over after the big elections are over. unfortunately,

when you're in the election season with some people called the funny season, a lot of things are said, a lot of things are done that may be, may not make sense at another period of time. and i hope that this is what we're dealing with here. so this is a pretty big revelation that shows a huge amount of dentist is on the part of leaders in washington d. c. it appears that the democratic party leadership was concerned about how the gas prices effect the election. and they wanted the saudis to put off their decision to cut oil production until after the elections because of how it would affect the gas price. they don't seem to be concerned about the back. the americans are paying $3.00 to $6.00 per gallon of gas that families are being squeezed. they're not concerned about european allies of the united states breathing in the winter. they're concerned that all of these economic consequences, they could affect the election result. they could change how people go ahead, devote a real amount of cynicism revealed on the part of. ready leaders, they essentially wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them and make decisions that

would have political benefit for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on november 8th. quite, quite an interesting revelation from the saudi foreign minister. meantime, the saudis come to moscow for the russia energy week for him, that's currently in effect right here on the russian capital. and they attend the multi regional conference and asked and context on which talking about the real big power brokers of the energy industry. essentially coming to russia in context on signing all sorts of interesting deals. washington can't be too pleased about that . kellum, often good to see you. thank you. thanks for joining us. are you into national? we are back soon with the news me.
