hey, jim, it is so dangerous, is it the, the sovereignty of the country? or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. over with breaking news is our 11 people are killed and another 15 wounded and a terrorist attack at a russian military base. and the western both are a bridge it it was during a live fire exercise for soldiers training to bite and ukraine. germany delivers the 1st of several i with air defense systems to ukraine. this follows russian air strikes on the country and comes despite concerns over germany's own depleted weapons dogs with the chinese communist parties. 20th congress is getting underway with thousands of the countries delegates arriving in beijing

to to find the country's future for the next 5 years. you can find all of the late and it's in our special coverage here on our, to international with, from last out to the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins and these are the top stories this hour. we begin with the latest reports, say, 11 people have been killed, and 15 more wounded in a terrorist attack and russia. it occurred out of military training base in western belgrade region near the ukrainian border ortiz e portrait don off has the details. pansy during life fire drills at one of the military test sites in the region of bell garrett, a bunch of a group of people, a group of unknown actors, opened fire at another group of soldiers that were apparently volunteers. they were eager to join the russian forces here in the dumbass and in ukraine. now as

a result, more than 10 people have been killed, including at least several of the attackers and at least to 17, are in hospitals and they are receiving treatment. now again, there's no way to say as to what exactly happened over there, but it is widely being described as a terrorist attack. it is unclear again who masterminded it, who was behind it if any body because well indeed as another source is they are citing different reasons as to for what happened there apparently could have happened over personal dispute or based on ethnic well on ethnic slurs. ah, so this is what apparently happened there, so it could be a personal dispute that escalated and well to well got really badly out of control and very deadly and ended up tragically. so again, no way to say if this is a tool connected to the events here in the dumbass and to the russian. whoo, on ukraine i, whether or not it is a tool or

a result of anything like this. but again, it is happening in the region of belgrade, and it is a boot of region and the tensions they fly very, very high there in recent weeks, if not months, ukraine has stepped up its attacks on this, a border region along with a few others. it has been targeting the town of belgrade itself, the outskirts of the villages, their power plants, and so on and so forth. the ukranian authorities, on the other hand, have been repeatedly wholly on attacks on, on attacks of those russians who are being mobile as right now. and volunteers on draft offices as well. and indeed, we have seen a number of incidents when people will loan actors when they through molotov cocktails. it said buildings, and that said places again, more details we'll have to emerge before we can make any decisive conclusions as to what happened today. human rights lawyer dan cov, alec says the developments are concerning as ukrainian attacks on russian territory

could be considered nato attacks in the future. quite frighteningly, this war is the dawn bass appears to now be bleeding into russia proper. there's more and more tax in the russia border areas, including on least according to russian authorities on nuclear power plant. and so it's very concerning. yes, of course, this is being done by friday. busy demoralized russian troops and also the russian population. i hope it is the case that it just load rules because the alternatives quite concerning. that is to say, if this is part of a more concerted effort by ukraine to attack russia within its own borders at the very concerning, because at this point the cranium military's been so degraded that i think it's fair to say that more or less the ukrainian military is a nato military, that would mean that it is a nato attack upon russia. so,

god forbid it is that i think that is a rational conclusion given that there are more and more attacks in this area by ukraine and ukraine being very open about the fact they want to attack russia within its borders. so, you know, you put 2 and 2 together and i think it equals 4. and i think in this case we can probably assume that it's ukraine. the frankly, it'll probably increase the resolve of russian forces. i mean, the fact that volunteers are be, are being attacked within russia. borders will probably only increase rushes will by falling behind nater, requirements for reserve and munitions. docs hasn't stopped germany from finding still more military aid for ukraine, with kia now reportedly receiving long awaited air defense systems from berlin. back in june, the german chancellor promised air defense systems which are capable of protecting

an entire city. the vehicle mounted iris t. s l m system is claimed to be able to intercept missiles, an aircraft up to an altitude of 20 kilometers and a range of up to 40 kilometers this system is among the world's most cutting edge air defense systems. ralph a chart as senior planning officer in this special monitoring mission to ukraine explains what such supplies could mean for key as the d phone. i know i to can fly i the delivery of a single fire unit with a range of 40 kilometers to a country with an expanse of 130-5600 kilometers is of course just a drop in the ocean. this isn't sharp contrast to the media hype that has been leashed. moreover, it is difficult to assess the concrete military impact of the delivery system of a weapon system that has not yet been used in combat anywhere. generally speaking in the last few months, one got the impression that tests under real conditions were being carried out on

the front. the west might also be interested in testing whether the airborne version of the iris can be used in the future. so far, the west has shied away from deploying its own air forces because such a development could result in great losses at best improved air defenses of which iris is apart, may lead the russians to deploy more stand off weapons and strategic carriers that may pay off for russia, in this respect, it is questionable whether the delivery of more iris units will really result in the advantages for ukraine. the russian army can operate for 200, maybe 300 kilometers beyond its borders. but beyond that, it would have to stop for a variety of reasons leaky shovel is this you politically. it is the wrong prioritization because the west is unilaterally relying on military solution as washington prohibits all the actors from considering negotiations. it's clear that the europeans will have no part in a negotiated solution regardless of the military success or failure of ukraine. germany is no longer perceived by russia as an independent actor in world politics

. and thus, germany's ambitions for more responsibility in the world have probably come to an end. and as a european, that pains me with the delivery of the so called defensive weapons. the german government is, of course, seizing the moment to get rid of some of the international political pressure that is weighing on it. it is obviously trying to remain in the 2nd row in the area of arms deliveries. however, the distinction between offensive and defensive weapons is difficult to make, to the iris weapons which are guided weapons be used to protect systems that carry out strikes deep into russian territory, such as the high mars than russia could hold germany partly responsible for the consequences. earlier this week, russia, the federal security service, said that ukrainian military intelligence were behind the crimean bridge bombing the f. s. b. that 8 people have been arrested in connection with the attack. the agency also says the explosives are hidden in a truck carrying roles of plastic sheeting use in the construction industry. the

explosive device was camouflaged inside rows of polyethylene, construction sheeting, material on $22.00, pallets with a total weight of 22770 kilograms. and in early august this year was sent from the c port of odessa to the bo gary in city of ruth. while the main point was that this terrorist attack was orchestrated by ukraine spy, chief kitty, or boot don off with the help of russian ukrainian and armenian citizens. as we heard, 8 of them have been detained so far were still on the lookout for the remaining 4. that's have a look at the map that the truck folks. so there we have. it started off in the seaport, odessa, then it moved into bulgaria and they'd so country and then it moved on to georgia, armenia through some russian regions. and then it made its way onto the crime me in bridge. now as with as a result of that for people lost their lives ukrainians,

and ukrainian officials work static about that when you trade in citizens taken se next banner of the bridge that was collapse and we saw specials. the pretty much straight forward saying that what a great achievement this is and what a great blow that says for vladimir putin. even though they were saying all of this, at some point, they even accused russia of blowing up its own bridge, which made no sense whatsoever. the refresh, the page official responsibility for the terrorist attack. but there was so happy about it. and once again, they reminded us that this is very helpful for them. and this is something that was on their agenda for fairly long time. no, see there was the last wish destroyed half of it. and so who was responsible for that? it's very helpful for cream. we've been sending from the very beginning that this bridge will be a will try to, to destroy as soon as we'll be able to the so out again, we heard

a from the press service of the cranes, the military intelligence. and they're released at suites where they are saying that while the s s b and russians, investigative committee, we all know that there are fake structures and that to their findings are absolute nonsense. and the reason why there is so confidence in dismissing these structures and dismissing the findings because they are getting support from western countries from european countries who are not only not condemning this terrorist attack. but there are also encourage and that they're supporting it. they're applauding this attack. some of them are even calling for more such attacks on russian soil. the events of the last days have once again demonstrated the blade and double standards of the collective west. the litmus test was a terrorist act committed by the ukrainian special services on the crimean bridge. a cynical attack on an object of critical civilian infrastructure. in fact, the missions of germany, latvia, and lithuania to the

o. s. p e justified the terrorist attack on the crimean bridge. so i guess this is why ukrainian officials feel so confident and dismissing the findings and the courage and more attacks on russian soil not even knew grain hardly to know the carpets for western people not to understand reach, going to come treat you train, which kind of film 3, their own can treat you to 14, clearly that ukraine received help from several countries, including some need to countries to make the her terror attack. i mean, it's clear that ukraine did not manage to do that on their own. according to the russian security service, the bomb was delivered via the black sea, raising concerns the green corridors agreed to by russia and ukraine to help alleviate the global food crisis could have been used to facilitate the attack. russian president vladimir, has said that if the information is confirmed,

the deal could be avoided. moreover, it become known that the british security service secret service rather had plotted to dest for rushes bridge to crimea long before the attack. that's according to an investigation by the gray zone media outlet. it's obtained documents, peer reported to have been used in the planning of the operation. the files appear to be from a presentation back in april, called audacious, which details the organizing of a maritime rate operation for key. yet there was allegedly put together by high ranking british intelligence officers with the ultimate aim of g grading and restricting russian navy operations in the black and as on, sees the destruction of breach of the catch trade would require a cruise missile battery to have the 2 concrete pillows or the sides of the central still arch, which will cause

a complete structural failure. this will prevent any rotary supply from the russian mainlines to crimea, and temporarily disrupt the shipping light. they fairport it operation included not only the british secret service, but also some other high ranking european officials. according to the revelations, one of them was a former lithuanian defense minister who had previously been accused of working for british intelligence. another participant is claimed to have been a long time need to adviser. a british military expert is said to have created the proposal and detailed the roadmap. earlier we spoke with kit, claire and bert, who took part in the investigation and outline the main details. these are very, very detailed proposal spelling out exactly where to strike the bridge, how it can be achieved, either through cruise missiles or via or team of lead scuba divers arms with particular it's every device is all in the underwater drones,

the type of which were very things like that, the premiums are used in late august this year by the royal navy brought up the curiously, in the hours within mere hours of, of, of the bombing on a separate commemorative, postage stamp, immortalizing the event was released in you print now that posted to take 2 explosions in the exact spot that she would identified as target. this wasn't meant to be one of this was only meant to be the beginning of a wide ranging campaign targeting crimea and russian assets in and around the area . and you know, it was very telling with the wall street john mentioned that the crimea was the new focus, the new focal point of the war. and that's where you praying be targeting. and i mean, i think if there hadn't been this massive retaliation by moscow starting monday, we might have seen more elements of that proposal become very, very, very real. china top officials are set to define the country's future for the

next 5 years. when they sit down in beijing for the communist parties, 20th congress on sunday, lou. thousands of delegates are gathering for a summit. described by some is a turning point in chinese politics. amid the countries growing rural on the world arena, as well as escalating tensions between beijing and washington in the, in the pacific. so let's go now to see dtn correspondent dong sway, who is in beijing and following the of that. thank you so much for joining us today . now. what are the main points on the agenda for the congress this year? well, thanks for having have me, rachel, as you can see, i am now standing outside the great all the people here in the capital bay. jane,

as you can probably see behind me over 2200 delegates from trying to work on the audio are entering the grade all the people to get ready for a 20th national already fall west. what these, these delegates are coming from, all walks of life. they come, they could be, you know, they are party secretaries and social workers. and as well as you know, sectors of, from sectors including technology and science, national defense and law. and also all of these people with many others who have made a great contributions in their own industries as well as to the country. and as we are thinking just a moment ago, there's a just a wrapping up all but the delta give florida what it's actually a like a press they how they just in a more organized the way you know, delegates to speak to the press one. now why ad there is special event was poor. you know,

the work that has already lined up before the delegates of the over the next couple of days. these are the 5 things on top of the agenda 1st that they will hear and exam the work report from the proceeding 900 central committee. second, that they will exam the work report of the $900.00 federal mission for discipline inspections. the 3rd that they would deliberate and adopt amendment for the d. p. c . constitution for the what you like. the 20th tpc federal committee. lastly, electing the next the central commission for this play section. so one agenda bad. the item that has been closely watched here and also abroad the e, b, c, p. c. parties. amendments. while i b press the press conference yesterday with barbed that the revision that is to a shrine, the practices and theories all the well dublin. so you know, b a c p c policy to show ease the high, highest binding document for the florida be a party. it offers a view of china,

future reflect the major changes to leadership and the government. so all eyes will on how these very important document to will be amended in a couple of days. so and also, you know, issues taco both domestic and international concerns with the topics ranging chinese anti corruption campaign already in the, the asian and the relations with the united states. as well as how china will contribute in the future to the global dot. the numbers will also be closed, closely monitoring during the session. rachel c g t n correspondent dom chalet. thank you so much for that report. china's powerful growth in g d. p was also underlined by the spokesperson, absolute poverty is said to have been eradicated with the countries people having improved their standards of living on foreign policy. china says it favors peaceful

solutions to disputes, including with taiwan. but beijing has stressed is prepared to use force if necessary. you whom you function. national reunification by peaceful means is in the best interests of the chinese nation as a whole, including our compatriots in taiwan. as long as there was a slim chance for peace will, will unification. we will do a level best use of force is the last result you to come? i want you went this um and just hours away, western media headlines are focusing on reports of a protest against the chinese president, which they are describing as a rare and unusually bold development for the country. however, aging based professor benjamin chow, so such demonstrations don't reflect public opinion. 1.4000000000 people in china and there were just one or 2 demons recently on protesting against the leader of government id

a debt occasion. although i think it is not a big deal. i thing the chinese people, the chinese communist party is really deeply loved by the dude chinese people and bo, close to 100000000 communist members. right now in, in, in china so far, i think presidency g p is really charged and he's on top of answering port. now i, it is very stable. well, bringing more of our special coverage, the key summit in beijing and the coming days. so stay tuned. ah, this week witness washington class was rianna following saudi arabia,

as claim said, the bind administration ask for a one month away to be opec was decision to cut oil production. the timing perfectly matched with the mid term elections in the us on the 8th of november, riata explained why it rejected the appeal went of the kingdom clarify through its 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 oh pack to move ahead with their decisions that they asked to delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results made it clear, it appears the november 8 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 representatives, numbers the u. s. 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 usa and saudi arabia into question here. some of what democratic party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing to play ball with the united states. there's going to be some consequences from 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 have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. i do see it as a deliberately hostile actin 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. atkins, shopped up journalist who 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,

will it in the usa continues to supply saudi arabia 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 weapons. they want all u. s. troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed, and there's no pac bill. 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. pride. 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 are in the election season with some people call the funny season, lots of things are said and lots 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 gas prices affect the election. and they wanted the saudis to put off

their division 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 freezing 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 as soon as it is revealed on the part of us leaders. they essentially wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them that make decisions that would have political dana for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on november 8th arvin bora, vice chair for the u. s. libertarian national committee. so the obvious way out of the crisis is to lift sanctions on russian energy export. they're trying to adjust oil prices basically around an election rather than doing either the short term or

lower to doing the long term changes or investments that would lead to the. i mean, here's the simple example. the obvious solution to our oil shortage is to get rid of all thanks and that stop american businesses and individuals from importing oil . whether an american company wants to buy oil from russia or venezuela, or on, or anywhere else, that's their natural rates. the government should not determine where somebody can buy oil from. so rather than doing the thing that's right, an ethical and make sense. they're trying again to use shady backroom dealing as their one solution to all problems. when you create foreign animals, the, it's only going to benefit the people who benefit from conflict, people who benefit from war. unfortunately, united states that is the entire military industrial complex, which is the single most influential and sadly, the most toxic organization that exists in american politics. so you have to bend contractors and those that other other contractors that benefit from war. they are,

of course, happy to see as much conflict as possible. the problem is everyone else in america benefits from p. and so the correct solution is the end sanction and all sanctions on oil and everything else. allow americans to freely trade with any individual. with whom they choose this week saw india lash out at germany's foreign minister, calling her remarks on the kashmir territorial dispute a grave injustice to the victims of terror. it came in response to alina. a box calls for the un to have a bigger say in the matter. the un security council and the financial action task force are still pursuing pakistan based terrorists involved in the horrific 2611 attacks. when states do not recognize such dangers, either because of self interest or indifference, they undermine the cause of peace, not promoted. they also do grave injustice to the victims of terrorism. last week, germany hosted focused on foreign minister and put those on thought. but for some

reason, the focus shifted to india in a joint press conference, the german foreign minister, great topic, push me an issue and says that it should be discussed in the us. yes, germany also has a role and responsibility with regard to the situation of kashmir. therefore, we support intensively the engagement of the united nations to find peaceful solutions in the regions in gas lounge germany for on warranted wise, on the self acquired drawer on the matter. what explains such summons from germany, exploits point out that this could have to do with the vision of neutrality on the russia, ukraine conflict, and up to many of the west and are using these pressure tactics against india. this . and also the recent us advisory to, with citizens to practiced increased caution when traveling to india,

you do crime and terrorism. the timing of all these developments now being questioned by foreign policy in addition to maintaining a largely neutral stance on the crane conflict, india has gone so far as expanding its economic ties with moscow. we spoke to global strategy analysts, k, p a r, who says that all efforts by the us to drive a wedge between india and russia will be unproductive. that a real object do is to get india do more away from its position of neutrality and go along with the name dull and, and i'm in the us and european position. you're not, the end result of it, of course is to drive out ridge between india and russia. but you're not rationally

. the americans, for example, know that the, they cannot creative edge between now india and russia. india is an independent country. india has its own positions. india is very proud of its strategic oper on me. india is non aligned again, doesn't align with the military forces. so in this position now on neutrality, on the air, ukraine, russia conflict is, is, is in line with, it's a historic, traditional policy of need not siding with military conflicts, not siding with anything to do with that. you so on stu resorted force. that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and i.
