ah ah, with breaking news, this our on our 11 people are killed the 15 wounded in a terrorist attack, but the russian military base in the western bell region was during a life i exercised for soldiers training to fight with germany, delivers the 1st of several iris t at defense systems to ukraine. this follows russian air strikes on the country just by concerns over germany's own depleted weapons dogs also coming up ma'am, a promise to renounce the use of force against the interference of external forces . and the extremely small number of proton independence approaches and the session
1:01 am
is the 2 with the chinese communist party 20th, congress kicked off with thousands of delegates arriving in beijing to define the future of the country. you can find out all the latest enough special coverage, you know, knock international a for mos go to the well this is our t international. my name is peter scott taken over from rachel blevins. and these are the stories that shape the news this week. but 1st, we start off with the latest news reports say that 11 people have been killed and 15, more wounded in a terrorist attack in russia. it's occurred as a military training base in the western bill. good region near ukraine's. busy border r t s e good has done it has more 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,
1:02 am
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, as they are citing different reasons as to for what happened there. apparently it could have happen over personal dispute or based on ethnic well on ethnic slurs. 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,
1:03 am
no way to say if this is at all connected to the events here in the dumbass and to the russian. whoo, on ukraine i, whether or not it is a tool, a result of anything like this. but again, it is happening in the region of belgrade, and it is a border 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 calling on attacks on it, 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 had said places again, more details we'll have to merge before we can make any decisive conclusions as to what happened today. earlier we discussed the
1:04 am
a talk with some of our guests who gave the analysis on what could have led to the incidence. that's quite conceivable that it could have been some ethnic tensions just within the camp. i would tend to think that that's more likely. but as i said, it's just very unusual to have another group of folks from another c s country open fire like that. and i'm sure there was some i cannot rule out the possibility that you have ethnic tensions that, that exist even within the caea. and we've seen that we've seen it with caregivers . we've seen that with, with the backs and, and the taj cheeks and, you know, they, they still have their, their, their internal differences. and i would suspect that this is probably what it could have been. they could be recorded by an external power,
1:05 am
or they could be from the original country as far as i know yet. and mentioned, even though they did catch 2 of the members that said, the pattern is pretty clear, and we've seen this pattern begin with the assassination of new enough a few weeks ago, then the pipelines and the bridge. and now this and of course, this is in, in the context of russian mobilization and a series of attacks on ukrainian infrastructure that, that goes a little bit deeper than they have in the past as a pattern seems to fit quite frighteningly, this war in the dawn bass appears to now be bleeding into russia proper. that's
1:06 am
very concerning because at this point, the find, the 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. i think that is a rational conclusion, given that there are more and more attacks in this area by ukraine and ukraine's being very open about the fact they want to attack russia within its borders. so you put 2 in 2 together and i think it equals 4. and i think in this case, we can probably assume that you claim that when falling behind nato requirements for reserve, almost stocks has stopped germany from finding still more military aid for ukraine with care now reporting the receiving long awaited defense systems from berlin. now back in june, the german chancellor promised defense systems which are capable of protecting an entire city. the vehicle mounted iris c s l m system is claimed to be to insert the
1:07 am
missiles on the aircraft or to an altitude of 20 kilometers and a range of up to 40. now this system is among the world's most cutting edge defense systems. ralph bush are a senior planning officer in the special monitoring mission. the ukraine explains that was the supplies could mean for q the iphone. i know i 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 when got the impression that tests under real conditions are 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
1:08 am
irises 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 if 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 and 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
1:09 am
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. the iris weapons which are guided weapons be used to protect systems that carry out strikes deep into russian territory such that the high mars than russia could hold germany partly responsible for the consequences. the chinese communist party 20th congress kicked off in beijing today's sunday with thousands of delegates, including the country's top officials set to define the country future for the next 5 years is asked, special coverage. ah, chinese leader seizing thing has addressed the delicates in a keynote speech, looking through the events of the past 5 years in chinese politics. he strongly
1:10 am
condemned the politics of brute force pledge in to support international justice and multilateralism. junction. china takes a clue, stand against him, how many in power politics in all their manifestations, we will unshakable resist any unilateralism and protection. it will help build a community with a common future for mankind firmly support the international justice, uphold and defend the true of this activity. during his address to the congress delegate, ze has also praised the country's achievements. among them, the countries g. d. p growth be thing, the corona, virus pandemic. breakthroughs in fighting poverty, as well as developments in the economic educational and medicinal space. c, g t, n correspondent dong schwab, focus through the main points of the la mark congress. i am now standing outside the grade of the people here in the capital bay. jane, as you can probably see behind me over 2200 delegates from china is rolling on the
1:11 am
audio are entering the grade. all the people get ready for a 20th national are the phone with these these delegates are coming from all walks of life. they come, they could be, you know, village party secretaries, social workers, and as well as you know, sectors of, from sectors including technology and science, you know, national defense and law. and also all these people with many others who have made great contributions in their own industries as well as to the phone to you. and as we are speaking just a moment ago, there's a just a wrapping up. all the delegates for adult, what it's actually a like a press stay how they just in a more organized way delegate to speak to the press one. now why ad based there is special embed was for, you know, the work that has already lined up before the delegates of the over the next couple
1:12 am
of days. these are the 5 top of the agenda 1st that they will hear and exam the a work report from the proceed 900 central committee. second of the exam, the work report of the $900.00 central commission for discipline inspections. the 3rd, they would deliberate and adopt amendment or the c p. c. c, to show for the what you like, the 20th century media. lastly, electing the next, the central commission for this play section one agenda bad. the items that has been closed, the watch, the here and also abroad the e, b, c, p. the party constitution was at the, at the press conference yesterday we learned that the revision that is to shrine the practices and theories all the national goblins. so, you know, g, c, p, c falls to, to be high, high as the binding document and for the, for the party. it offers
1:13 am
a view of trying to feel to reflect the major changes to leadership and the dollars . so i will on how these very important documents will be amended in the couple of days. so, and also, you know, issues, coal, both domestic and international concerns with the topics ranging box, china, the anti corruption campaign already in the, the asian and the relation we'll be united states as well as how china will contribute in the future to the global number's will also be quote, closely monitored during the session will in a thinly veiled condemnation of u. s. actions president, she also emphasized the china condemns that time when he separatism and the foreign interference that stands behind it. one man can show you 3 docs we sincerely and with all our might continue to try for a peaceful reunification, but will not promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the possibility of taking all necessary measures against the interference of extolling forces and the
1:14 am
extremely small number of pro time on independence separatists and the secession is activities. although taiwan is recognized by most countries as parts of china, the us seems to support the islands independence by supplying it with arms a visit to the island by the u. s. how speaker nancy pelosi earlier this year, spots an angry response from beijing, followed by massive chinese military drills around the disputed region. meanwhile, western media headlines are focusing on reports of a protest against the chinese presidents, which they're describing as a rare and unusually bold development for the country. however, beijing bass, professor benjamin charles, says, such demonstrations don't reflect public opinion though. 1.4000000000 people in china and there were just one or 2 recently protesting against the leader of government id
1:15 am
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 deed, a chinese people. and there are bo, close to 100000000 communist members. right now, in, in, in china so far, i think presidency g p is really in charge and he is on top of answering port. now it is very stable. we'll bring you more of our special coverage of the key. so it's engaging in the coming days. so, due to due, stay tuned for that ah, in, earlier this week, russia federal security service said that ukrainian military intelligence were behind the crimean bridge bombing the f s b. so the 8 people i've been arrested in
1:16 am
connection with the attack. and the agency also says the exposes, were headed in a truck carrying roles of plastic sheeting using 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 bulgarian city of ruth. while the main point was that this terrorist attack was orchestrated by ukraine spy, chief kitty, or don off with the help of a 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 took. so there we have, it's, 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
1:17 am
bridge. now as with the results of that for people last lives, the ukrainians and ukrainian officials work static about that was so you, cranium, citizens, taken selfies next banner of the bridge. that was collapse. and we saw officials, the pretty much straightforward saying that what a great achievement this is and what a grade blow that says for vladimir putin. even though there were saying all of this, at some point, they even accused russia of blowing up its own bridge, which made no sense whatsoever. the officials, they didn't take official responsibility for the terrorist attack, but there were 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 a very long time. no, the see there was the plus wish destroyed half of it. and so who was responsible for that? it's very helpful for cream. we been said from the very beginning that this bridge
1:18 am
will be it will try to, to destroy as soon as we will be able to the so now again, we heard a from their press service, all the cranes, the military intelligence. and they're released at suite where they're saying that well, the s s b and ross's investigative committee, we all know that their faith structures and that to their findings are absolute nonsense. and the reason why they're so confidence in dismissing these structures and dismissing the findings, it's 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 the terrorist act committed by the ukrainian special services on the crimean bridge. a cynical attack on an object of critical civilian
1:19 am
infrastructure. in fact, the missions of germany, latvia, and lithuania to the o. s. be 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. now he's a new crane. i need to know the carpet for western people not to understand which kind of country is you praying which kind of country their own country used to 14 clearly that ukraine received help from several countries, including some nato countries to make the search 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 grain corridors agreed by russia, ukraine to alleviate the global few crisis,
1:20 am
could have been used to facilitate the attack. russian president vladimir putin said if the information is confirmed, the deal could be aborted. the russian president also vowed a serious and reciprocal responds to any threats made against russia. his comments came following the series of missile strikes against ukraine conducted earlier this week. ah, this map shows the ukrainian cities targeted by several waves of russian missile strikes with critical energy infrastructure targeted across at least 20 cities. ukrainian official said it's at least 20 people were killed and more than a 100 wounded during those attacks. moscow says the thermal power plants and sub stations were heavily targeted in the attack. ukrainian president followed him as a lensky confirmed ki energy systems were hit with there are 30 percent of the
1:21 am
countries energy infrastructure damaged. the strike resulted in hundreds of people left with no electricity. with some cities facing limited power supplies and emergency shut downs gap claim that some of the damaged and g facilities were restored. it will stop exporting electricity to you in order to stabilize the country's own power. grid or we discussed the russian strikes with former us marine and geopolitical. unless brian bella take, you said that russia was bound to retaliate at the key of crossed moscow's red lines by attacking the crimean bridge. i don't think it comes as a surprise at all. we watch ukraine carry out the bombing on the creamy and bridge . we have watched ukraine and its sponsors, not only cross rushes red lines, but then on the other side, russia had the obligation to retaliate. if they did not ukraine, it, sponsors would begin to think there are, there was no, nothing,
1:22 am
no consequence. it is a red line. well, within russia, a russian bridge there and hitting civilian infrastructure for political purposes. they could not have imagined that it would have stopped with the supply of military equipment sick, right. but surely they knew it would jeopardize the flow of essential for the civilian population. and people have to remember from 2014 until the special military operation began. ukraine caught all fresh water off too, probably to torment the civilian population. there was no military reason for that . so this is just a continuation of that mind that and that policy in kiev and amongst its western sponsor the 3 day russian energy week international forum concluded earlier this week in the russian capital with president putin delivering a speech. then all the stream projects, the gas prices, and the role of western countries in the ongoing energy crisis were among the
1:23 am
topics he raised in the car and the address it girl. you could clearly discriminate if they fail to reach the aims they undermine and destroy the infrastructure of their rivals. of course, i'm talking about the attacks on the north stream one and north stream to pipelines . these attacks are undoubtedly acts of international terrorism and to block europe from cheap energy sources to deprive millions of people of resources and force other countries to buy energy resources at higher prices. not only did the russian president vladimir putin called the north stream pipeline disruptions, an act of international terrorism. he also hinted at the possible culprits. he said that the nations responsible for the attacks on a north stream are those who want to fully cut ties between the european union and russia. and in fact, he eventually mentioned the name's ukraine, the west and poland. and he also added, quote, unquote, like they say, in the west,
1:24 am
highly likely, everything is clear, the russian leader went on to say that the both north stream one and north stream 2 can be repaired. but moscow will only begin working on it. if eventually the 2 pipelines are launched and if their security is guaranteed otherwise, according to the russian president, there's no point in touching the pipelines. among other things, president putin doubled down on his own assessment that russia wasn't responsible for the global energy crisis. he blamed it on the policy mistakes by western decision makers that are taking their toll on developing countries to do. but since the expense estimate this year alone, the smoke gas pricing mechanism will bring losses to europe in more than $300000000000.00 euros, which is near 2 percent of the eurozone, g, d, p, as this could have been avoided if they'd use long term contracts with an oil binding, the current difference between spot prices and long term contract prices is $3.00
1:25 am
to $4.00 times and who was responsible for that? i have imposed this model of trade on us. they forced gas prone to switch impact to binding to the spot market. and now they grown that they themselves are to blame them. and other countries, primarily developing ones, will have to overpay for these energy resources. the results that comes to the european market is sold there 3 times more expensive. along the chain, these price fuel inflation, which in the eurozone has reached 10 percent video, ordinary europeans suffering. the population as in the middle ages began to stalk up on firewood for the winter. what does russia got to do about it? they're always trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes on someone else, in this case on russia, they deserve that. also vladimir putin refuted claims that russia was trying to make life worse for europeans by using energy as a political tool and reminded how moscow came to the rescue. when american ellen, g exporters abandoned their european buyers and sent their tankers to asia, where
1:26 am
a higher price was being offered in weird looks that we've seen american tank as carrying l n. g supplies change their course move towards other destinations just because they're expecting to be paid more shortly. these deliveries are not reliable, and russia was the only one that actually made gas delivery to europe reliable. however, on western counterparts, wouldn't like to remember that. in fact, they say it is moscow that doesn't want to supply them with gas. it's wrong when guided by contractual obligations, under insuring the supplies are made in full. if they don't want to receive our products, we have nothing to do with that. plus the russian president reacted to the decision by g 7 and e. u. countries to put a price cap on russian oil experts by quoting a famous american noble prize winner. the bottom line is that if you artificially try to limit the prices that only leads to deficit and higher prices plus once
1:27 am
again mr. brewton threatened to stop selling oil altogether to the countries that join these restrictions against russia. when you stand him post though, let him that we will not supply energy resources to those countries that put on a price cap to those countries, which instead of business partnership and market mechanisms prefer cheating tricks and shameless blackmail. i want to say that we will not act to our own detriment. our principal position is that stability in a balanced energy market and a secure future for peoples can only be in short through combined efforts in an open and honest dialogue based on the principles of joint responsibility. am all taking into account each other's national interests. well, this is the kind of dialogue we have established with our partners under the opec plus agreement, and i guess we should do the 70 and pops on surprisingly, major points of discussion at the forum has been whether the use current gas reserves will be enough to get through the upcoming winter, the head of the russian and his giants gasped from shed his assessments with their
1:28 am
chaise corporals. returning to the question where the europe can survive with injected gas, william, that they currently have an underground storage. dance is very simple. no one can give any guarantee if we're talk about the act of guest volume and underground storage facilities in europe than we must 1st talk about germany. the volume of act of guess injection capabilities in germany, amounts to 21500000000 cubic meters of gas with 100 percent injections. germany apparently will pump about 20. it is estimated that germany will consume 6 to billing cubic meters of gas in the coming auto winter period. this means that guess in the underground storage facilities in germany's enough for 2 or the most 2 and a half months. and it's not just europe that experience in energy concerns. africa is also feeling the strain is sustainable energy developments was a topic for discussion at the moscow energy week, as well as, as moscow seeks to build close upon ships across the continent of the forum. we spoke with the african energy chambers representative and j. ioc and the head of the russian africa, submits a league or is it of and they share their thoughts on the issue. i think russian
1:29 am
and african countries have really looked and walking to pass on a lot of energy projects. you can look at gas problems, investments in algeria and libya. you can look at, ross nef participate in the some of the project around was a big because africa has these big problem of energy poverty, 600000000 people without access to electricity, 900 without access to clean cooking technologies. so looking at russia, look at what he does, don, electrification and making energy. poverty history is something that us made. africans really want to explore broader collaboration beyond what they already have right now. russians and african leaked to be on the tape on the table. if you not on the table, on dose negotiations, you are going to be on the menu. and we don't want to be on demanding of the gothic forgot for a paragraph where when you miles african states, clearly understand that they have a long way ahead to ensure their own energy, security and independence. they acknowledge the to day africa is to a large extent,
1:30 am
still an importer of energy resources. thus, despite africa, significant oil and gas reserves, particularly in the mozambique shelf area. at this very moment, we have to combine russian and african efforts. it would be beneficial at this time as africa wants to enlarge its own energy capacities and russia has the required skills and technologies, rushes able to assist africa and training it's workforce for the energy industry. meanwhile, western states are currently focused on pumping hydrocarbons out of africa. they covered themselves with slogans of energy transition while they themselves are the most interested in these resources. well, those are some of the new stories, the shaped the news this week on pizza. scott, let me back here with another run down on the weekly here nazi in around 30 minutes time. i'll see you then. thank you for watching.
