a with a isabel daughter reagan, in fact, 4 times on thursday, with a massive blaze igniting, and a little town s like a low found a new train is enough to retaliate. russian devotee, a delivery for western countries, looking to implement price on all supplies, while hungry it's 4 minutes. it seeks to maintain energy relations with russia. light western sanctions and saudi arabia received a request from the biden administration to late oil production, cuts boy a month. so you're starting with crucial midterms in a

well them to r t international broadcasting alive for months go. it's just tough for him here in the capital. i'm right on the let's take a look at the top stories on this out. we start with the latest from the conflict to ukraine, an alert founded in the create an in house city of zap rosier and then there for all 3 of these in ukraine's cargo region report. that is energy infrastructure has been damaged in russian attacks on thursday, fighting forces launched a rocket attack, but hit the belgrade region in western russia. there are no reports of any casualties, but the strikes and that part of the local town in flames was the 4th attack in the area in the last 24 hours and came just off the residential high. rise in the center of belgrade became a target for several calls, and the apartment was severed severely damaged in the attack on cheese,

eagle is done of bins of the details of the situation. according to the governor of the bugger, at region, the ukrainian armed forces have indeed targeted and arms depot are in or well air within the just next to the town of belgrade, which is a border town. now, this falls in line to a recent escalation when it comes to ukraine's attacks, honor the russian towns and board of villages. this one is just one of them i. but while this one didn't eat target a military facility, others well in the, to the large proportion didn't, for instance, just early on thursday or a russian missile air defense system intercepted a ukrainian missile. and it's debris had an apartment building within the city limits of belgrade. are now due to due to a sheer, blocky chance. no, no one was injured among civilians. no one was hurt. now the day before that on

wednesday again, russian air defenses, they shut down a number of targets in the air, apparently all were ukrainian groans and again, the crenan forces are they have been shelling russian border towns and villages relentlessly. in the past couple of weeks, i mean there have been doing it for months, but recently they have escalated their efforts and to a large extent, the only targeted wall just residential areas. in a more notable case, they, for instance, had a monastery of all things or so there is that and are basically, according to the russian president vladimir putin. russia could not stand idle and just watch that apparently the red line that the ukrainians had crossed was the bombing of the crimean bridge. and so that russia did not take that well, just a few days ago, a moscow launched and full out missile attack. it was of such scale which we have not seen since the very beginning of russia's special operation back in february.

so according to russia, that this attack, which should targeted ukraine's critical infrastructure, mainly the energy sector and the railroad systems. well basically it was meant to kind to send a message that stopped shelling, rushes residential areas and so on and so forth. and in general, we have seen russia sticking to this plan. now the scale has subsided a little bit, but air rate alerts have become a regular thing for ukraine. now, according to ukraine's authority, some 30 percent of ukraine's energy infrastructure has been well damaged to a various extent. now again, russia has also been targeting ukraine's railroads. all this is done in a bid to not just send a message, but to hamper ukraine's ability to cripple its ability to deliver our new military machines, new military hardware and personnel to the front quickly. so this is what russia has been doing as ukraine in its turn has been amassing while huge forces are on the front line in

a bid to break rushes defenses and to keep their own slaughter on the russian forces. so this is where the situation stands at right now. neither side wants to back down. and so this all, it looks like paves a path to woods further escalation the last day of russian energy healing sauce friday, as the international forum in moscow has addressed some of the biggest issues impacts in global markets. russia's deputy fly mental delegate that if lesson countries try to implement a price cap on all supplies, russia would simply stop deliveries. they can actually take take enterprise, but it should be decided by the markets are proceeding from the supply and demand balance. we said that we're not going to supply our ana church or the countries that are using that price gap hungry for master peter seattle has emphasized that the e u. member states wants to continue corporation with russia. despite western

sanctions against moscow. he says, russian feel supplies a vitally important for his countries, energy, security. we made it very clear that we would not agree with any sanctions which would endanger the safety of energy supply of our country for us. maintaining the security of energy supply in hungary is an obligation of the government is a national interest and the or know that if we exclude russian energy sources from our energy mix, then it becomes physically excluded to ensure the safe supply of our country hungry subdivision that said he was shocked to you by the new damage rush. he said

was shot by the damage done to the north extreme pipeline system, which has been a crucial supply route for rush and gas supply for the you. the minister went on to say that he had the gas transfer provider is now the last opportunity, the boot of 1st insurers anti links to critical russian fuel supplies for his country depends on the safety of the gas suppressed a bit of more than what the energy weak form included a discussion panel on the and is currently in challenges needed to be met in the asian pacific region. we talked to the pakistan ambassador to russia says that moscow continues to be attentive to the needs of developing countries. energy security is one of the prime considerations of our government. and when we look to ensure that our energy security, one of the important partners we look to, is russia and within that one aspect, particularly, which is i would say within our grasp, which is sufficient time has been spent by 2 sites on

a valuation of this particular project is a construction of a pipeline, and we are hopeful that once this pipeline project or a big project like this starts will be more russian companies. we come here and we see that that is greater as all and c s here. russia being one of the big energy suppliers. so that is a seriousness to address these concerns of eligibility and also to be more sensitive. i think that is a strong desire on the part of the russian government to be more sensitive to the demands expectations of the developing countries because we are the worst effectors right now. we see of very, i would say sufficient political attention and sensitivity to the expectations and demands of developing countries and moscow. that's why the economy. so those russia phases of economic embargo, prospects of recession are waning. while it's in europe, this,

that is fading or falling into decline. that's according to a recent article published in the economics. social media trolls posting videos intended for european audiences showing gas stove left come, full blast. what might cost? hundreds of euros in berlin comes to a few roubles in moscow. the taunting is childish, but it hinted a deeper truth. the economic war between russia and the west is it a delicate moment? while europe teeters on the brink of recession, russia is emerging from one look at this is this, it's just my ease sanctions on moscow, the inflation rate in russia has been declining. last month it stood at 13.7 percent compared to 17.8 percent. this year europe, on the other hand, keeps breaking new records, the czech republic and last the phase historically high levels of inflation last month. and denmark and grease are coping with the highest rates in decades.

as cos alive now to earl rasmus and he's in the he's in washington, d. c is executive vice president of the eurasia center. thanks so much for joining us here. archie now because it's really an article talking basically about the western sanctions hurting the e you more than they are russia. what do you make of that assessment? well, i think it's absolutely correct. i mean, even though they had, there was inflation already occurring as a result of after following. they've been damaged. the sanctions that were placed were, i mean, whenever you take off and basically thanks the country that's so critical to the fighting and the energy market, especially in food market. i mean, the prices are going to go up. i mean, they, essentially, russia is. but if you take a look at a ran managed whaler being thanks,

well, you've got 20 percent of the oil and basically eliminate so of course the price will go up, and europe is so dependent they russian cheap russian gas, the energy provided from russia to the pipeline, although enable and economic improvement enabled the germans respectfully and as a result the rest of europe for eating and supporting economic growth during global competitiveness and technology. by eliminating and thanking them basically committed suicide. been driving the price that they're be coming, no non competitive. i colleague of mine in europe said they look like 40 percent of their company flows in germany. i've heard a number even higher than that in the u. k. because not yet they've,

they've done it to themselves. important. and this is trying to ready. that's. i mean, all the e u on us one way should directory are they, is there any way back when we heard from hungary is primary pharmacy. if they basically say, you know, we can't afford to pay for american gas, which is $400.00 mark and just 4 times more expensive than you know, what we're getting from russia. are we looking to see other european countries coming onto this game on that bandwagon or the the block class where the block is there no way back? no, i think you will see other countries. and, you know, let's say that even if they could afford it, the u. s. can't supply enough, ellen. gee, and there's not enough supplies from other sources to make up for the russian quantities because it's so huge. and so easy to get to. but there's really no,

no, nothing that can really be fill that gap for a rough gas and reckon energy supplied the is there a way back? yeah, they could drop the thing and that's one way. they're not going to make it up with the u. s. supplies and u. s. is probably going to pull back because we're, we're getting limited here as well. and we've got the current policy, they're really against further exploration. one of the 1st days on the job, mr. biden shut down one of the key pipelines as well. and band pulled a lot of like regulation. so we're kind of doing it to ourselves as well. and they kind of the european that catastrophe feeds over eventually. and they recently just yesterday and currently this week and see i see a meeting where a lot of these asian countries are meeting and looking at energy security. all

types of security, basic security in the country financially and especially energy. but my question is, is rasa more likely to do business with asian countries as it can do now than look at the west? i mean, at the end of the day, washington just still. so it's gas, right? yes, rustic and selling gas. and i would venture that, especially with the little ploy on putting a cap on prices, i don't see why russia would have to even want to sell, sell to the those countries. there's plenty of demand. we've got china jain in there in india. there is there, i think that's where the growth is going to be is is between the global south and, and the, and asia. so russia really doesn't need europe. europe need russia,

but russia really doesn't need europe. as we move forward in the developing countries. become more, more independent and more productive in their own right now. absolutely. i was going to see how things time out. the next colder months of winter coming on. now. thank you, susan, for joining us today here at all. it was a pleasure to see. we hope to speak to you again soon. thanks a lot and for your time ah. ok 1000000. ok professor is set to announce the new interim president in the next 2 days. the country's national assembly kicks off this friday off of the african nation, enjoyed 2nd military coup. this year. the movie group led by captain hebrew hint, trailer a seas powell on the last day of september processes flooded the seas monitoring with russian flags and tomato and ties of france for us as former colonial leila,

feeble even to seize past his embassy in the african countries setting fires around the diplomatic building, the french institute was also wrecked during the commotion, the institute, which is one of the main cultural centers in the country, was set ablaze. protesters slashed the windows vandalizing, the library and other study areas. the institute workers condemned this destruction, but the protesters on the street have a different opinion for me. when you are losing soldiers every day and civilians have to leave their villages. i think it's normal that some day people express their disappointment and anger. the scenes of destruction are clearly a signal that people are mad. because we do not know what france is doing here in burkina. if you're in a country and nobody knows your role, the better you leave and of course, francis the cause of all our misfortunes. frances, responsible for all these crazy things in africa. we are here to fight until our

last breath, the 1000000 center, one of the main library of what i do, the last sample of the co voice in between paris and what got to go 62 years back was decided to create the international festival of movies of what it was here in this laboratory last october. first people went out and everything because that my situation month, but phrase promised to end the war and for 11 years now things are no changes. many authorities of looking up, i saw captain tower, you brought him, decided not to close the corp. we've only one country. they're going to work with anyone who can help including washer turkish and phrase. but people might want to go fast and the want cup to tell it to go fast as he can to move forward. and with this war, as he is busy now, to set up institutional organization,

have people involved with this national foundation starting this friday. this felicia will decide who going to be the next president. it will decide also what going to be the duration of the parliament. what going to be the size of the government, the size of parliament was the low. what get to the saudi arabia has released his statement, claiming the brighten administration after the ad in that's a one month delayed to reach an open plus decision to cut open. that was about 2000000 barrels a day. the timing of the request matches midterm elections finishing in the us on the 8th of november, riyadh 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. this is

a pretty big revelation. they're letting a pretty big cat out of the bag that it seems that the priority of us leaders, when it came to asking opec to move ahead with their decision that they asked to delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results. that are clear, it appears the november a mid term elections that are set to take place here in the united states and with a new congress will be elected members. the house of representative numbers in the us senate will be elected or reelected. i at that seems to be what the issue was now. the democrats are furious with saudi arabia. they're that all this talk of calling the 70 year relationship between the us saying that he radian question years, some of what democratic party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing to play ball with the united day. there's gonna be some 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 consider what i 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 yet 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 say 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. that's why weapons they want. all us troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed and is the no pack deal. this is a law that would enable people and entities in the united states to file lawsuits and take countries to court for violating and manipulating the oil. right. the 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. 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 prices. they don't seem to be concerned about the fact that 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 that they could affect the election result. they could change how people go ahead, devote a real amount of cynicism revealed on the part of us leaders. they essentially

wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them that make decisions that would have political benefit for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on november 8th. ah, the west has openly declared is the trail and deceit howl rushing for mr. suppose person, maria's her over reaction to recent comments, but ease diplomatic, joseph burrell, who recognized nature's failures and keep promises to rush in the past, hinting and the bloss previous. fudge is not to expand eastwood. you miss it. i'm not satisfied with the reasoning and arguments with which many people, including my friends, justify aggression by saying that nato has not kept its promises because it's possible. and this is history. none of this justifies what's happening now when it says the outbreak of the convention, ukraine, nato members have flooded the country with advanced weaponry, even before the concert they carried out regular training drills in the country.

this comes out of the native she from, from the alliances plan to go ahead with annual nuclear, so, and exercises 14 of the alliances, 30 member states will be involved in drills next week. peace researcher jan oberg says the you foreign policy. she should be more careful about history was it matters a lot when it comes to conflicts. i think it's very important to remember that these promises were given to gorbachev. they are well documented, for instance, in the national security archive in washington. i am not in favor of the mean of any military action or any war, but to deny that russia has had a sins all the time being encroached upon to be approached to be pleased in a way that every reality politic. person ex, from mere timer,

isn't just brushing, god knows who has warned, not necessarily getting rain to it all to negro, but you cried. it was the place that could reach warfare. there is nothing to be surprised about. and if we are not at what cost the conflict which is always underlying the violence, then we can never solve this problem. so it's time is to go and read something about concrete resolution, conflict, understanding and history. joseph morale has also called for more engagement with the rest of the world, which seemed as a jungle in a little it's been said, he pulled the european garden. he was caught sharing his candid thought, a talk in belgium, to future professionals. you took a garden, we had to build a garden avenue. he works is the best combination of a political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion that the human kind has been able to build those 3 things

together. the rest of the world must of the rest of the goal. it's a jungle and the jungle could invade the garden and the gardeners should take care of it. well, this is cindy rody and my lease is tomorrow. give me see because it's a quiet place. ready is to say that you role is a garden that is so beautiful and the rest of the world is a ebay, cato minute i the very and the stability that they want to, to see in the world is his vision was a particularly directed. it was, yeah, because that is the only in china that can really destabilized the peace and stability of god. god in that they say

they'll create it. and one of the things that really throw in a lot of or has enough rico or the fact that we are referred to as the john and predominantly, we know that the, you, you usually lose points. it was just thinking about because they make sure that our people are under the law for a long time and, and do eat less, dependent on them for a lot of things that i have a 2nd. and they come in milk on every day in the very same down the sea and the great garden that is the call in europe in the colonial copy does that the u. s. has published this new national security strategy, identify key threats and the future. it's moved to the filament, according to the document wash, and so will be turning his eyes to the in the pacific. we have entered

a consequential new period of american foreign policy that will demand more of the united states in the indo pacific than has been asked of us since the 2nd world war . no region will be of more significance to the world into every day. americans in the indo pacific place in the, in the pacific region on the u. s. lap of infos is justified in the document, as it was great need for american leadership that need to ship in his out competing china concerning russia, which are named as a washington's rivals. china's accused of wanting to reshape the international will order while russia is naval, a threat to international peace for my us marine cool in terms of us with us as washington is breaking international obligations as it actions run country to this one. china policy. when you have a u. s, admiral bragging that the united states would be able to defeat any blockade,

china might put around taiwan. when you have a u. s. air force, general bragging about how the united states would destroy chinese logistics of systems and lines of communication if there was ever aggression against taiwan. when you have us officials visiting taiwan as if taiwan was an independent state when the of the united states providing taiwan with millions of dollars of modern weaponry. well beyond that which is needed for legitimate defense purposes. and then it becomes clear that the one china policy is in name only that the united states is openly advocating for. ready to china is the communist party dominated mainland china and the pro american, the government that existed in taiwan well, law represent this is allen technology dot com for all your up to the minute news. and we'll be back on top of the out with more international stories

in ah ah a suffered because we're

getting the business and you clean the bread. i b, e a does not a shoes on. yeah. americans, grey, you, when you wrote, you got to really just such an upgraded, no ceiling in for when you was just touching charco emergency hospital, additional student in full child wishing that you use her own the would them the proud in just a moment that was true i mean she through with her job, she was looking at the studies krista menu which of jewish musical material enough on all things to which you which no longer you bullshit. just institutional up for the push to sustainable mon, because at least know your course load your school coast. i don't know which to appoint a dozen or i should just to do with these just to play in finances, come all the.
