a late with with 11 people killed another 15 wounded in a terrorist attack at the russian military base in the western build good region. it was during a life i exercise for soldiers training to go to ukraine. germany delivers the 1st of several iris t, a defense systems to ukraine. this follows russian air strikes on the country and comes despite concerns over germany's own. depleted weapons stalks off on the program will never promise to renounce the use of force against the interference of external forces. and the extremely small number of pro time on independence approaches. and this is sasha is to to with the chinese communist parties. 20th

congress kicks off with thousands of delegates, arrived in beijing to be find the country's future. you can find out all the latest enough special coverage with very welcome see from the russian capital this sunday morning. i'm peter scotts, and welcome to the weekly here on our tea, wherever you joining us from. well, 1st, we start off with latest on the top story, there are 11 people have been killed and 15 more wounded in a terrorist attack in russia. it took place a military training base in the western belgrade region near the ukrainian border egos done of the details party 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, open 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. 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 it could have happened 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, 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 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 ukrainian 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 emerge before we can make any decisive conclusions as to what happened today. earlier we discussed the 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 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 and 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 included with, by an external power, or they could be from the original country as far as i know, yet unmentioned, even though they did catch the 2 of the members. and that said

that the pattern is pretty clear, and we've seen this pattern begin with the assassination of looking up a few weeks ago than 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 the ukrainian and infrastructure that go a little bit deeper than they have in, in the past. the pattern seems to fit quite frighteningly. this war in the dawn bass appears to now be bleeding into russia proper. that's 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. so 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 tax 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 it's ukraine. and now over to the done yet of republic where a suspected us supplied ukrainian high mosque missile has hit the done yes. city administration building according to the cities may, the following pitches reportedly show the aftermath of the strike. the ministration building has sustained serious damage with mobile, scattered across multiple flaws. windows also appeared to be blown out the ring having collapsed in several places. at least 2 people were reportedly injured in the attack. falling behind nate's requirements for reserve ammo stalks hasn't stopped germany from finding still more military aid for ukraine,

with care of no reports and the receiving on the way to the defense system from berlin. in the wake of russian strikes on the country. now back in june, the german chancellor promised at defense systems which are capable of protecting an entire city. the vehicle mounted iris t. s. alarm system is claim to be able to insert missiles and aircraft onto an altitude of 20 kilometers under range of up to 40. the system is among the world's most cutting edge at defense systems. ralph bosh are a senior playing officer in the special monetary mission to ukraine, who he explained to us what supplies could mean the key if 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 when 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 his 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 that the high mars than russia could hold germany partly responsible for the consequences. the chinese communist party 20th congress kicked off in beijing on sunday with thousands of delegates, including some of the country's top officials, said to define the future of the country for the next 5 years. his,

our special coverage. ah, chinese leader shooting thing has addressed to the delicates in a key note speech looking through the events. busy the past 5 years in chinese politics, now he strongly condemned the politics of brute force pledging to support international justice and multi lateralism junction. china takes a clue, stand against his harmony and power politics in all their manifestations. we will unshakable resist, annie, unilateralism, and protectionism. we will help build a community with a common future for mankind firmly support the international justice, uphold and defend the 2 of the satilla t during his address. she also praised the country's achievements, including the g d. p growth beating the corona virus and reducing poverty. as well as developments in the economic educational and medicinal spheres. c,

d t correspondence. don schwab, takes us through the main points of the law, mark congress. the work report proposed by the preceding ninety's, c, p. c. central committee consists of 15 different categories, many lay out in a bose tasks and major policies for the developing a cause of the party end of the country in the next 5 years, or even longer period of time to com. putting forward a series of new pro approaches, strategies and measures. i feel like the, you know, the work report being delivered this year is more focused and condensed. well, i here because i heard a brand revision for a china, each of the poor areas, domestically and internationally. we're here, there is a specific plans in many aspects. for instance, china will continue to reform an opening up a continuous and corruption campaign will promote the new development concepts and will continue the development of national defense and science and technology. as

she also mentioned that to long term goals, the cbc will pursue 1st to basically realized the social is to modernization from 2020 through 2035 seconds to build china into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, a strong democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious and beautiful from 2035 to the middle of the system of the century. china's foreign policy will also be shaved by the read or to however, a will not change in the bigger picture because she pledged the to continue to support multilateralism and oppose as any bullying. and they had demonic behaviors . because in the last 2 years, in the last 2 years, i should have been proposed out of the global development initiative and the globe securely initiatives which are believed to shave a, china's foreign policies in a years to come. well, you know, china is always at a hearing shimoda, lateralism, and peace. what department, this is, this is the core of the,

of china's foreign policy and that you would definitely remain the same. and a thinly veiled condemnation of u. s. actions president, she also emphasized that china does condemn taiwanese separatism and the role of foreign states that encourage it. warmer june, cheese 3 vox we sincerely and with all our might continue to strive for a peaceful reunification, but will never promise to renounce the use of force and reserve. the possibility of taking all necessary measures against the interference of external forces and the extremely small number of proteins independent separatists and their secessionist activities. although taiwan is recognized by most countries as part of china, the us seems to support the islands independence by supplying gets with arms a visit to the island by the us. how speak and nancy pelosi, earlier this year, spots and angry response from beijing, followed by massive chinese miniature drills around the disputed region. meanwhile,

many western media headlines are focusing on reports of a protest against the chinese presidents, which they're describing as a rare and unusually bold developments for the country. however, beijing based professor benjamin charles says that such demonstrations do not reflect overall public opinion. for less now, across live to victor, gao, vice president of the china, the sensor for china and globalization. a very good morning, c, a from moscow weeks ago. thank you very much for having me. was great. have you with us? and now just to start off, what are the most important messages that we can take away from the chinese presidents speech in that 20th congress? well, this lonely ingredient time privilege. she gave a very important speech at the beginning of the time to the congress, which is one of the most important events, not only for china, of all mankind as

a whole. his speech is very far right lasted for about 105 minutes even told whole . and he talked about 15 different categories of issues and view the situation of the past 5 years after 10 years. and the whole cast is into the future 5 years as well as all the way up to 2035 and also to the middle of the 73, and beyond. so this is very, it's all the touches upon almost everything that i'm, it's crazy. no, c, c is the ruling political party. it has a membership of up to about 100000000. so here's tall for chris c p c itself and it's on c b. this is more example. poppy is a bring in the how to make sure that the party memberships are still reinvigorated while serving the people for example. but he also talk to

a lot about cbt as the ruling party for try not cbc and it's role port charlotte as a whole t c private, which the almost everyone it is truly a leading force for china and its members are generally can see that very much higher is in their own way, really rally people around them to do excellent job wall for 20. now you also talked about c, p c, china versus the rest of the world. this is because china is becoming more and more important on the global spades, and we are faced with strong graded by the united states and all the senses in post united states. i did, they do not want to see the will continue the economy development of china. so president, you've been probably about all these days. and this report will be analyzed and commented by the 2000 we 100 delegates they had in the

days so that they can provide to his report and eventually his call to become the regional document for the c p. c. well this congress and will serve as the guidelines. busy the work in the company 5 years as well as for the chinese government and the military. they've got it now. did anything. thank you by surprise, in his speech and one more question, what is the atmosphere like at the congress? is it optimistic or is there a sense of concern given some of the global issues that china is facing? i would say c, p z, commit to central committee and bureau and the study committee of the bureau at c, b, c, a large are unprecedentedly united right now. there are issues of calls and there are head rings of cbc is firmly believed that they can exercise great leadership

and guide the chinese nation for the future in very much successful ways. now, for example, you mentioned the covey 19, and that they can turn those very relentless efforts to fight off the finding that making the dynamic 0 call with policy. i would say this probably generated few successes for the chinese nation because china has managed to save as many people from getting practices are buying from the pandemic. and i would say the whole country in the world can compare in terms of national mobilization commitment. the regional is p, p production, etc, and general support of the population in support. this dynamic 0 koby. of course, this is the as great a lot of students is well, each of the population on daily basis. however,

the majority of the people in china fully recognize that this policy, the challenges jim and they have a great, good to be promoted for the continuum of the health of the chinese nation. so this is not controversial. you will really choose which perspective you want to use your look at how this and i'm hoping policy has be generally speaking very successful at a competitor with almost all the other countries. china is the only country which has managed to fight the without do what i call most western developed countries are reliable. well, the, it's a gum afraid that us all we have time for the to go vice president, the sense of china and globalization. thank you very much for your time today on the 20th congress, that taking part in beijing. i hope you enjoy the rest of the day there as well.

thank you very much for having me. thank you. thank you. i will bring you more, of course, of our special coverage of the key summit in beijing in the coming day. so do stay tuned for that. ah, in of the news this week witnessed washington's class with re add the following. saudi arabia's claims. that's divided administration asked for a one month delay to the opec plus decision to coach oil production. now the timing might almost perfectly with the midterm elections in the u. s, which take place on the 8th of november. and we are to explain why it rejects the appeal 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. but 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 was a new congress will be elected members, the house representative numbers, the u. s. senate will be elected or reelected. and that seems to be what the issue was now. the democrats are furious with saudi arabia. there's that all this talk of calling the 70 year relationship between the usa and daddy radio and the question. here's some of what democratic party leaders have said in light of the saudi is refusing to play ball with the united states. are going to 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'm have in mind, but there will be, there will be consequences. i do see it as a deliberately hostile act. and what,

why would we have troops defending a country that behave this way towards us? for years, we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has shopped up, journalists has engaged in massive political repression. for one reason. we wanted to know that when the chips were down, when there was a global crisis, that the saudis would choose us instead of russia. well, they didn't 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. there's 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. 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 called the funny season, a lot 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 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 as soon as isn't revealed on the part of us leaders. they essentially wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them and make decisions that would have political dana fit for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on

november 8th of invoice, vice chairman of the u. s. libertarian national committee says that the obvious way out of the crisis is just to lift sanctions on motion energy exports. they're trying to adjust oil prices basically around an election rather than doing either the short term or long term 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 at the 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 organizations that exist in american politics. so you have defend 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 versus non stream to pipeline did not pose a risk to european or german gus security. without the leaf is according to a top secret security assessment within 4 months before the war in ukraine. the report was drawn up by the previous german government, led by of course trans the anglo merkel, and was recently declassified information. the evaluation has concluded that

granting certification for nord stream too, does not jeopardize the security of the gas supply of germany and the european union. the pipeline increases the resilience of the european gas supply system by providing an additional capacity buffer for peak demand. the question is, is for mergers as are going to merkel about to be talked under the need a war bus. well, you know, from the bumps it certainly come in handy at this point on route to math, public outrage over energy related patients at risk fighting europe, particularly hard as winter approaches. and now this newly be classified top secret sherman security assessment of the north string to pipeline dating back to october 2021. so as you say, just 4 months before everything popped up and ukraine and while merkel was still chancellor concluded that quote, the granting of certification of north street he does not jeopardize and security of gas supply in germany, andy or p n union. in other words, no and national security problems for germany and doubling down on russian gas. but

critics are now blasting merkel and the assessment and, and saying that she's being naive here that the assessment was nice. everybody was just naive and nobody woke up to it. so here's merkel now defending her government's approach to russia. you always act in the time in which you find yourself from the perspective of that time. it was very rational and understandable to get pipeline gas, including from russia that was cheaper than l. m. g from other parts of the world. it's worth noting that current chancellor, all s sholtes was merkel vice chancellor at the time of this report. and his weakness now and failing to resist russell's energy sanctions places germany's industry. so the blocks economic driver on the front line of sanctions blow back, particularly given the countries over reliance on an unripe and at best green energy strategy. and by the way, those green energy fantasies of shunning colin nuclear for germany were only made possible. they stu cheap, russian gas, so rather than taking responsibility for any decisions or better yet altering

course, to the benefit of the country right now. well, looks like the strategy here is just to point and yell at merkel with this conveniently declassified report. as for merkel having been naive, these are the russia, well, it's important to remember that everything was fine until the you and germany decided to finally stop resisting long standing us efforts to have europe cut itself off from cheap russia. yes, with quote for ukraine being apparently the magic words that finally sold germany on its own economic and industrial suicide to the ultimate competitive benefit of washington. amid rising energy prices, thousands of people took to the streets of leipzig in germany. processes were then thing that on good government policy waving flags and holding bonner's and shouting, we don't freeze for profits. rising food prices, as well as a lack of affordable housing and inflation. we're among the other grievances that demonstrates is highlighted. does

a gamer economist on. publicists says that russia was always a reliable partner, and the u. s. energy can never fully meet european demands. russia was always a very reliable partner or a reliable supplier, even in times where there was this harmony. however, you want to call it 1st, the british, and the us who lead by the same business forces in behind was to to, to not let germany jain with russia on a reliable economic basis because they were afraid of german technology meeting russian raw materials. and this would have meant for the brits 1st that they were visitors in the international market. and now they think it is for the us the same problem. but they would be visitors on the eurasian market, which would be the by far most dominant market in the world. and the u. s. would

lose their wealth. our l. n. g from the us can never meet the demand from europe and world. so i think we have to look at the forces behind big politics to see what they are up to. but at the minute they are really up to suppressing the european people to farm, to take away their freedoms, to take away democracy and to, to build their so called. busy digital based dictatorship. well, those are some of the main new stories, the shapes, the news this week here on oxy. i'm peter scott's back here with another rundown of the weekly and around 30 minutes time hope to see them. ah, ah.
