some political manipulation going on behind the scenes. caleb bobbin artsy new york, legal and media analyst ally and all says that criminalizing and weapon ising mis information is wrong. while the case of alex jones could set a dangerous precedent for more countries than just the u. s. this does not have legal precedent because this is a particular case involving these family members and alex jones, it doesn't have any lasting effect ah, regarding any other cord in the country. this is not an appellate court. this is not the supreme court, but what it does do is it sets a tone. it sets some potential for some exaggerations. if you listen to what people say, not just in the united states, but all over the world, they say that alex jones is a conspiracy theory,

spreading misinformation. and after a while, when you keep saying this and you weapon eyes and criminal eyes misinformation, what about me just being wrong? and more importantly, who are you to tell me that what i'm saying is incorrect? it's my opinion. over it time, we get to the point which frightens me even more so that people are going to be lot sued. perhaps are arrested, perhaps shut down centered merely for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. and when that happens, and we're very close to it, if not already, then it's over for everyone. a reminder of our top story report, say, 11 people were killed and another 15 wounded and a terrorist attack at a military training base in russia's western belgrade region near the ukrainian border. the attack reportedly occurred during a live fire drill and targeted volunteer soldiers who were preparing to fight in

ukraine. the wounded victims have been hospitalized. the alleged perpetrators have been identified as citizens of a fellow former soviet country with close ties to russia. they were reportedly killed by return fire during the incident less cross live now to independent political analyst alessandra bruno, to discuss this more now alessandro. when we're looking at everything we know so far, could those who committed this attack had been influenced or even recruited by an external power? hello, rachel? well, yes, i mean they could be recorded by an external power. i think we know what power we're talking about, or they could be from the original country as far as i know yet, i mentioned, even though they did catch the 2 of the members. so that said,

the pattern is pretty clear, and we've seen this pattern begin with the assassination of in looking at a few weeks ago. and then the bridge, sorry, then that pipelines and the bridge. and now this, and of course this is in, in the context of russian mobilization as a series of attacks on the ukrainian infrastructure that go a little bit deeper than they have in, in the past. so i think the, the pattern is, i mean i don't obviously, i'm not there. i cannot, we cannot be sure. certainly i cannot be sure, but the pattern seems to fit. yeah, there is a lot of concern about those continuing escalations now given what we know about

the specific attack media reports are saying that some of the victims of this incident were on arms. what do you make at this claim so far? well, if the unarmed victims are certainly, i would imagine that they were not because had they been armed looking based on what i've been able to hear about the attack the, the victims would have been able to at least return some fire if they were armed, given the in the context of the situation. so i think they were hopelessly a targeting on our soldiers in this case. so that i wasn't surprised to read that because otherwise we would have a battle. so they must've known the patterns around the base quite well to know when

they could go and where they could go to find unarmed troops. right. and now when there is an incident like this, of course, the biggest question is, what could the motive be behind it? so what do you see as the motives so far from the reports that we've seen it, could it be just so fear to cause demoralization order so discord among members of the russian armed forces? yes, i mean, in a, in terrorism, when you have a, a symmetrical fight. and despite what the ukraine army has tried to suggest in the past few weeks with their glorious claims victories. this is an a symmetrical fight. if russia wanted, they could muster 25000000 troops if it needed an absolute case. so we were

talking about vast difference in army military potential. so this is where terrorism is employed. and the purpose of terrorism is to so fear that in the very word, this is so clear. so the idea is to not only so fear among the recruits, but i think it's to create political pressure against using the recruitment campaign as the, as the leverage. now when it comes to the reports of the alleged shooters, they have been identified as nationals of a former soviet country with close ties to russia. some media reports say the motive could have been based on ethnic tensions. what do you make of that? well, it could be ethnic tensions, but what it's, it would be interesting to know which country we're talking about. there are

a number of the former c i s countries that have close ties to russia, which i've also had tensions with russia in the past. for example, i'm not saying that this is where they're from. i want to stress, like georgia, had a little conflict with russia in 2008 and one, i believe one of the georgian president at the time he came a ukrainian official during the my, the my band situation in 2014. you might remember, so i suspect that georgia could be one of the sources and there are grievances, tension, old tension there that could be exploited. i don't know which other former soviet state, but not to mention. sorry, i almost forgot to hold the baltic republic. but i think had it been

a former baltic republic with the, for the ties, because definitely there are no close ties between the former baltic republics and russia. so my, my suspicion is more toward georgia. and another country of that close to there is still a lot of questions there. now, given the overall impacted this could, how do you think that there's a tackle had a wider effect on the russian armed forces? or is it more likely to remain an isolated incident? well, judging by the way that president putin has responded to all the attacks and let's call them publications. i think they will not affect the plan the overall course. because allowing these situations to change the course would encourage more

attacks, i think. so, i doubt that this will have any change of plan. this will trigger any change of plans front at the official level. and it might say on the one hand, they could scare a few recruits. but i, i think, judging from what we've seen on the russian people's response, it might put, if anything more pressure on put in to, to take more action because it trustingly enough, it was just, i believe it was 2 days ago. the president who's in and out that for the time being the special, the new a series of attacks against ukrainian infrastructure and the deeper attacks would cease, they would stop for the time being. so i think these attacks might put pressure on

put in from some of the more activist military and political figures to resume these attacks. but i still think that there is a general plan that they will follow because while this attack tragic though, maybe it's not strategic, it doesn't have any it, it, it's that there's no reason why it should change the strategy a lot of moving parts there and will continue to follow the situation as it developed independent political analyst, alessandra bruno, thank you for your time and inside. thank you. thank you, bye. and a less cross alive now back to our tv where she don not to get the latest details now or when it comes to the reports of this incident, they have been emerging and recent hours. so what is known for sure about what happened so far?

well, absolutely, rachel, apparently a bunch of unknown actors opened fire at a drill side in the bugger, at region targeting some other volunteers. russian volunteers who were eager to join the russian and the well united forces here in the dumbass, in and in ukraine. now again, there's no decisive information as to how many well terrorists, i have to say, because this is something that is being described as a terrorist. attack, well, how many terrorists were there, but apparently more than 10 people, including at least some of the attack as they were killed, were getting reports that they were maybe 3 of them at least 2 were gone down in return fire. and well, just shoot of 20 people apparently have been injured in taken to hospital to receive treatment according to some information. it didn't, it did not happen in the evening. it did not happen early at night. right now it's way past 1 o'clock in the morning here in the la guns republican, it's the same in belgrade, but some reports suggest that it happened in the morning. in fact, at around 10

a am, again, these are all of this has to be confirmed. again, there's no information as to what may have caused the, the, the tragedy as to who ordered the head if this was indeed a terrorist attack. because some sources they suggest that they are, may have been a personal dispute over ethnic issues. that has led to this phi and has led to the tensions to flare up so dramatically and so tragically. again, there's no way to so far to say for sure if this attack is indeed any way connected to the events here in the dumbass to the war in ukraine. but in general, it does involve apparently people who volunteered to join the russian forces. here and speaking of the region of belgrade, it's a border region, and it has been very tense. the situation there, i mean, in the past few weeks and of even months, i have to say the ukrainians. they have stepped up their attacks on the russian

towns, the ones that they can reach from the territory of ukraine. they have been targeting the town of belgrade targeting had so well, electric plants, and so on and so forth. again, ukrainian officials, some of the will hire officials, they have been cooling on attacks on those who are volunteering to go. those who are undergoing training, for example, this incident that has happened, it has happened during the fire drills firing drills. i have to say, so this is what happened and again, the ukrainians, they have been calling on attacks on them on attacks on those who are being mobilized right now in russia, on attacks against draft facilities to and draft offices. and we have seen some people throwing molotov cocktails at those, at those places for it. so far more details were waiting for more details to come out. and so to be able to decisively say, as to what happened in the town of belgrade, on the outskirts of it, and what this terrorist attack was all about, she is eager,

as you are thinking for that day. as a reminder, we're continuing to follow the reports of a terrorist attack and rushes buggered reagan near the ukrainian border, which has reportedly left 11 people dead and 15 others wounded will bring you more updates on this as they become available. turkish rescuers are still sifting through the rubble of a coal line in the countries north where an explosion has killed. at least 41 people living dozens more trapped, 300 meters underground. authorities say the blast could have been caused by an industrial accident. here's the latest report we have from the scene of the tragedy from a local correspondent. a bottom, this is barton, i'm ezra. a huge explosion occurred here in the mind you see behind me last night. according to official sources, the accident could have been caused by an explosion of fire damp, forcible mine is of died in the accident. as soon as his news was received,

turkish interior minister, cinnamon soiled energy and natural resources minister, farsi donors, labor and social security minister. that up 1000000000 arrived an ambassador to coordinate rescue efforts and investigate the cause of the explosion. search and rescue operations continued until the morning and still on going in the morning. many leaders of political parties also arrived at the sea. they expressed their condolences to the relatives of the dead miners, president reggie type heard one also arrived at the scene and conducted an investigation republican people's party to come out to list out order an e party leader metal action and also visited the region and expressed their condolences to the mind as families to day in turkey, they said good bye to the dead miners. many relatives of mine has continued to wait for news of survivors. after all, there may still be survivors. under the rubble, the ministry of justice announced that an investigation into the explosion has been launched. and 3, prosecutors have been appointed. we continue to monitor the situation. ah,

africa is energy transition should not be dictated by europe. that's according to the african energy chamber chairman. this cons i had a t climate change talks with the terms of a landmark deal between washington e. u countries and south africa aimed at aiding its transition to clean energy. now and deadlock. some locals are unhappy with the terms of the agreement. as our correspondent reports from johannesburg, the west has been, he think, political and economic pressure on south africa to accelerate the pace of its energy transition. if a contentious issue to face the least and as the 27th united nations climate change conference approaches. negotiations between south africa and western countries over the terms of an $8500000000.00 deal. as starting to show how it's slanted in favor of western countries to start off with 80 percent of the money is loaned and not

grants, and had high interest rate true. the rising interest rates, environment was seeing in the west means that investment capital is getting more expensive for poor countries. as of africa already has a high dead burden. the aid and a half $1000000.00 deal has never made sense. in the 1st instance, it is nothing but a sinister scheme in europe in the united states who do so at the behest of greedy profiteer in privateers. also, it is in foreign currency. that is a problem also because the south african rent continues to weaken against major currencies. and that weakening with the higher interest rates. it makes it unaffordable. the country is currently experiencing rolling blackouts, and there's a wide school of thought that an opportunity was missed to solve the energy crisis . when treasury rejected a deal to build a nuclear power plant over a decade ago. now,

even though nuclear has had several problems over 50 countries in the world, continue to rely on it with hundreds of reactors wildlife. there is no reason whatsoever why nuclear in this country should not constitute 50 percent of the electricity generation with forces feels still being there mainstay, because out africa has got when over 120 years of cold reserves left. if we double our current cold production, which set about 250000000 tons, like many of it. so both south economies, south africa, is trying to balance its environmental responsibilities against its own developmental needs. but a head of the club, 27 conference and pressure from the west. that's responsibility from needs. and at what cost south africa is expected to focus on economy impact,

which is more on economic development and employment growth. and as secondary to dot, it will be when we are producing enough and then you will prioritize as well on environmental consequences, but you can prioritize on environmental consequences when you're done harrigan. economic impact. for many, the most controversial aspect of the supposed energy transition is how western countries want to give loans to developing countries. but with some self serving conditions that they are own energy renewable companies must being used glucose production, ok, viewable energy components, will a give us an advantage of employment, a growth which then will solve 2 problems. will be able to transition to a renewable energy while we are developing the economy as well. for now, however,

the roadmap is still unclear as to where the country wants to go and how it gets day. i miss the west escalating pressure to transition. we will have to see whether energy comes from cannibal. it has an oddity and john is back close to 40000 people have march to the italian city of trees to voice their anger against nato. protestors head out of the u. s. lead blocks aggression claiming its continued supply of arms to crane, only harms the world than a and slogans raised at the demonstrations where no to war, no to nato. it comes amid soaring energy and food prices in italy with more and more people expressing their anger over the current situation. o americans are being hit in their pockets with september's inflation rate in the us running at 8.2 percent according to the latest data release from the bureau of

labor statistics significantly higher than expected. the reported won't. i decades high comes despite joe biden, promising to beat inflation when he ran for the presidency. americans are squeezed by the cost of living. that's been true for years and they didn't need today's report to tell them that it's a key reason i ran for president working to give middle class families, some breathing room in dealing with their costs is critical. and consumer prices continue to rise. the u. s. dollar has risen to a 2 year high as the federal reserve raised interest rates in a bid to curve inflation and bring down prices. the federal reserve has already raised interest rates 5 times since march, by making borrowing more expensive it hopes to reduce demand, especially for big ticket items such as cars and homes, and ease the pressures pushing up prices. however,

this also makes it more difficult to serve the public debt, which means the government will need to print more money, which could cause inflation to spiral mitchell b. fire state, investor and banker says, bivens, policy failures have split the public. he was elected to unify the public and what he's done is he's weaponized the different departments against 50 percent or more of the country that voted against him rather than unification. it's been one of demon demonization actually. and as far as the economic position, the inflation rate has surged to close to 20 percent real inflation, which is not, it's unprecedented in the history of america that gasoline prices and oil prices and energy prices have gone this high. inflation has never been as high and what it's doing for most of america is making, making it very difficult for people to afford food and warm to eat their houses

during the coldest part of winter coming up. so did he keep his promises on the economy? not at all, and if you look at the amount of debt that the government has incurred, it's just continue to balloon over the past decade and a half. and all they've been doing is printing and spending, printing and spending. there are also several factors that are causing inflation to go much higher, especially with the prices of energy, domestic and in the international market. it's not any longer a unipolar world, it's a multi polar world. and i think the united states is not dealing with this. and adjusting accordingly, headscarf fan is now allowed and workplaces across europe long as it's applied to all employees. equally. the court of justice says the prohibition if applied in a blanket nation would not discriminate against anyone. and undertakings. terms of employment which prohibit work is from manifesting through words through clothing

or in any other way. their religious beliefs does not constitute direct discrimination. provided that that provision is applied in a general and on differentiated way. believe its ruling stems from a dispute which began 4 years ago when a muslim woman wearing a headscarf reported religious discrimination. after being denied an internship at the belgian company. the firm rejected her 1st appeal as she refused to comply with the 2 trolley policy after her 2nd appeal, the company said its rules forbid any type of head covering above in court, struggled with the case and therefore sought recommendations from the youth court of justice. meanwhile, the e u has agreed to sanction or wrong over its response to protest, sparked by the death of martha many who died after being arrested by the police over an alleged failure to properly cover her head. women took to the streets across or ron and other countries with some are ripping off their head scarves and cutting their hair and solidarity commission. president ursula vander lion has

already advocated for iranian women's freedom and their right to choose their attire. the u. s. has already targeted some are ronnie and senior officials as part of a new wave of sanctions in the wake of omni dad, accusing the country of a crackdown k. ron deployed police to call protest while the us state department as stress that the iranians, internal affairs are now washington's focus. earlier we spoke to political analysts and researcher christopher holly, who says that by supporting protesters on the iranian streets, the west is pushing for regime change in iran. this ship is part of the larger plan for the gym, change against the atlantic republic of iran. this provides a perfect opportunity for the, the west that collectively to say, oh, look at us with our liberal values. let's support these women on the streets. very

small number of women in the cities on the street. and let's over 30 islamic republic. let's overthrow the iranian evolution, and let's carry out the resume. change we've been trying to do in 979, but have failed to do. so i think ultimately what we are seeing now is, i think a trojan horse of a situation in the name of human rights, once again in humanitarianism. the west is coming, but behind them are the arms, the sanctions, the could be. does the massacres at the departure? and i think it's something to be very careful because ultimately what we most year is the bulk is ation of iran. and that's exactly what the west has been trying to do to part of a be run into destroy a major power in the middle east. in your view. why did your p and court go for a conditional ban? instead of allowing absolute freedom to exercise, religious faith and what sort of precedent is set by this decision. i think this is part of a long term strategy that's been happening throughout europe. we have to recognize

that the western europe has traditionally and historically been very islam of phobic. ultimately, what europe is trying to do is it's trying to say that you come to europe and you must be european eyes in our way. you cannot have your own traditions and culture, you will be induction in our way. so at the same time when they tell other countries all be open and pluralistic, they don't want that liberalism in europe. they want the people to be secular. they want the people to focus on individual ism versus their communities and their collective life. and ultimately they want people to be rid of their spiritual and religious tradition. more than a 1000000 people have been displaced in at least 500 have died in nigeria as a result of the worst flooding. and jackie, these are some of the latest pictures from this scene where locals are now sailing down the street in both the high water has made other means of transport unusable. the flooding which has effected nearly all the night area has left some $90000.00

homes, damaged, or destroyed. authorities have blamed heavy rain and the release of water from a dam and neighboring camera room for the disaster, while promising to help affected communities cope with the impact. and we're going to take a short break, be sure to stay tuned to r t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here in just a couple of minutes at the top of be our ah, a lot of the tactical and strategic approach to this is not realizing the fact that one rush is not going to russia has genuine considerations in the context of the writing st. yes, whatever one describes in the countries regression reality also remains that there were serious issues that were links to the conflict. originally, these happenings,

no need to once expansion and they to wants to be globalized and it's role, which is extraordinary. and right in with ah

with breaking news is our 11 people are killed and another 15 wounded and a terrorist attack at a russian military bank in the western vulgar region. it was during a live fire exercise for soldiers training to fight and ukraine. china says it's economy as a driving force for global growth, while the country's big faith with taiwan, but is prepared to use force against anyone that intervene. that's ahead of approval. communist party congress was due to define china's strategy for the next 5 years.
