why oh ah, 11 people are killed, another 15 wounded in a terrorist attack. it's a russian military base in the western gallagher regent. now it took place during a live fire exercise for volunteers trying to find a new cream with staying in belgrade, at least 2 people will do it as a result of explosions in that russian region. with our defense systems have been activated to repel rockets loans from across the ukrainian border. germany delivers the 1st of several r t defense systems to ukraine. this follows that russian f strikes on the country

and comes despite concerns over germany's own depleted weapons stocks. also on the program will never promise to renounce the use of force against the interference of external forces and the extremely small number of proton and dependent separatists . and this, the session is the key with the chinese communist parties. 20th congress kicked off with thousands of delegates arrived in beijing to define the countries future. you can find all the latest in our special coverage right here on our tv. with thank you for joining us at 12 pm at moscow time. you're watching the weekly hill nazi. i'm pizza, scott. and these are the top stories from the week. just gone. welcome to the program. but 1st of all, we begin with the latest on our top story, this,

our 11 people have been killed and 15 wounded in a terrorist attack in russia. it's occurred, it's a military training based in the western bell good region, which is near the ukrainian border. let's cross live now to our correspondence in belgrade roman costa, roman, thanks for joining us. was that the latest we have on this attach? well, we have official confirmation from the russian defense ministry that indeed 11 people were killed and 15 are now being treated in hospitals for various sir wounds. now, all these people were her volunteer soldiers are here in russia. they weren't mobilized. they wanted themselves to go and fight to protect their country. and according to the defense ministry, 2 of the enlisted soldiers, they are responsible for this said terrorist accent that they come from one of the i c i s countries. the same as, of course,

a commonwealth of independent states that the united incorporation, that 10 a former a soviet republics. now there were specific about of which country that was as they investigation, is still going on. now that both of those, the 2 suspects who made this 3rd service that happened were killed on the spot by other soldiers who were present there at the moment. ah, russian investigative committee are, were still working on the scene, trying to determine all of the facts that are on the grounds. and meanwhile, here in belgrade, it's been making headlines over the last week as a ukraine, continuously at sax, the city and it's actually nearby villages. a ukrainian border is not that far away . and as we arrived in this city about 11 am this sunday we started, i hearing a lot of explosions up the up in the air,

a letter or letter on the fans out that's at least 10 ukrainian rockets were shut down. unfortunately is by air defense and unfortunately a few of them landed. and according to the governor of the region, at least 2 civilians were wounded. also of footage is emerging from various social media that belgrade airport was also attacked. of course the airport is closed at the moment because the most because of the air space is closed around this area due to a military case is going on very near by. but the governor of the city is now making his around around the region to determine whether there were any more any more destruction or injuries. will roma help? you keep us up to date on those rockets attacks on belgrade, as well as any further progress in the investigation into the territory at that training base. that's all these room,

a cost of reporting live from the belgrade region in russia. thanks very much or discuss thought tara attack on the russian military base with some of our guests who gave their thoughts on what could have caused 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 cia. and we've seen that we've seen it with keys. we've seen it with, with those backs and the, and the time sheets. and they, they still have their, 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. so that said that the pattern is pretty clear, and we've seen this pattern begin with the assassination of nuclear a few weeks ago than that, that 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, that go a little bit deeper than they have in, in the past for 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 new 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 tax in this area by ukraine and ukraine's being very open about the fact they want to attack russia within its border. 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 yes, republic where suspect says us supplied ukrainian high mos missiles has hit the dungeon city administration building that's according to the cities mer. now the following pictures reports only show the aftermath of the missiles strike, the building, sustained serious damage with the double scattered across a number of floors. windows also appear to have been blown outs,

and the ceiling have collapsed in several places. at least 2 people were reportedly injured in the attack. in other news, the chinese communist party 20th congress kicked off in beijing on sunday with thousands excuse me. wrong camera of delegates, including the country's top officials, set to define the country's future for the next 5 years. is our special coverage of that event for chinese leaders using thing as adjust the delegates in a key note speech looking through the events of the past 5 years in chinese politics. in the speech, he strongly condemned the politics of brutal force pledging to support international justice and multilateralism. junction, china takes a clear stand against his harmony and power politics in all their manifestations, we will,

unshakable resists annie unilateralism and protectionism. we will help build a community with a common future for mankind. firm is support international justice, uphold and defend the 2 of the saturday. she also praised the country's achievements among them, the g. d. p. the handling of the pandemic, as well as reducing poverty. c g t n correspondent don schwab, takes us through the main points of the landmark 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 and of the country in the next 5 years, or even longer period of time to com. putting forward a series of new chrome approaches, strategies, and measures. i feel like, you know, the work report being delivered this year is more focused and condensed. why here? because i heard a, a brand or vision 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, is to reform an opening up a continuous ending 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, was strong democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious and beautiful from 2035 was 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 baker picture. and she pledged it to continue to support multilateralism and oppose any bullying and the hedge a monic of behaviors. because in the last 2 years,

in the last 2 years that she's been proposed at the global development initiative and the global security initiative, which are believed to shape a china as foreign policies in the years to come. well, you know, china is always at a hearing tomorrow to 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 condemns taiwanese separatism as well as the role of foreign states that encourage it, warmer, intentionally, 3 vox, we're 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 proton independent separatists and their secessionist

activities. although one is recognized by most countries as parts of china, the us seems to support the islands independence by supplying it with arms or visits the island by the u. s. how speak at nancy pelosi earlier this year, spots an angry response from beijing, followed by massive chinese military drills around the distributed region. meanwhile, many western media headlines are focusing on reports of a protest against the chinese presidents. they're describing that it's as a rare and unusually bold development for the country where let's cross live now to shoe can go to political analysts and senior fellow at the penguin institution for beijing. a very good afternoon to you from moscow. thank you for finding the time to speech was today. my pleasure. now, what would you say the most more important message isn't key takeaways from shooting pings address of the congress? well,

i would say it's both for domestic and for all deeds that but the mostly domestic cradle chinese public. so it is a very comprehensive speech. it touches upon basically every aspect of the chinese, the development for the next 5 years and beyond basically what kind of a role the calmness part of china is going to play and lead the nation into next 5 years. and beyond this story touches upon example economic development, molding the democracy environment to climate change energy. and then if you look at to be externally. so that's about the child, the vision for what a kind of national community tani is working for. for example, china continue to pursue an independent foreign policy of a piece. china is against the power politics, the cold war mentality, unilateralism. china will work with other countries to viewed community with a share to future from by can basically that's the message for both domestic and

external world. it was certainly quite a long speech. i here did anything surprise you that you mentioned, or is it pretty much what you expected, you know, keeping sharp on a stable course. not really surprising. obviously a lot of people, i think people expect consistency. and also this a continuation over some of the policies focus on poll. obviously some of the efforts and the goes, you know, long term goals prevents and changed it. and also some of the efforts will continue, for example, anti crushing after the effective to continue. and they reform and open the up will, will not change because the press the mr. the point out to that bowden and, and this high quality development the, the key to the realization of a chinese organization in the years to come. and of course, you know,

if he touches the point some of the area that is probably, well, we would expect that more each of the policy to come up. but, you know, in the next several months, including a bt december on economy and also probably be in the march next year. of example, got the work report that it would be detailed, a policy in different areas for a more international audience. how would you describe this or the atmosphere of the congress? is it a joyful occasion? is it full of optimism? or is it also one of concern? because obviously china, like many countries, also phases a number of serious global challenges. obviously if you can describe that to the environment that the stance probably got a fence up or optimism at the same time. also a sense of a determination sense of optimism. if you review the past 5 years, you know, huge a human has been made by the chinese nation. and also at the same time. and you

know, people will look forward to the next 5 years on the years to come to realize the of the chinese dream rejuvenation of the nation back for a strong economy steady roll. at the same time we do realize their ra, domestic, and external challenge. just like other countries, china also there are some disruption east side and always though, there's a severe challenge from the u as it's like you know, the at and m and all of the bi weekly ban on conduct back to the chinese companies so that, that's broken down to here is the challenge gender rad to china development, and also on taiwan the focus on pull the u. s. using either cart against the right the time that that's some challenge or trying to deal with. so there's a sense of determination where we overcome those difficulties and continue to develop the nation. was to window political analyst and senior fellow at the

penguin institution from beijing. thank you very much for your thoughts today or not. congress is currently taking place in beijing. been a pleasure talking on the channel. thank you. or will bring you, of course, more of our special coverage of the key. so it's in beijing in the days to come. so do stay tuned. ah, falling behind nato requirements for reserve, imo, has not stopped germany from finding more military 8 for ukraine with care of no reportedly receiving long awaited defense systems from berlin. that's of course in the wake of russian air strikes on ukraine. now back into the german chancellor promised to defend systems which are capable of protecting an entire city. the vehicle mounted iris c. s. the alarm system is claimed to be able to intercept missiles under aircraft, of up to an altitude of 20 kilometers, and

a range of up to 40. the system is believed to be among the world's most cutting edge defenses. rough boss, hard, a senior funding officer in the special monitoring mission to ukraine, explains what such supplies could mean for key f the evil. i know i can fly 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

irises apart may lead the russians to deploy more stand off weapons in strategic carriers that may payoff 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 a 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 his way in 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 deepened to russian territory, such as the high mars than russia could hold germany partly responsible for the consequences. this week also witnessed the washington's clash with we are following saudi arabia's claims that the biden administration us a one month delay, so the opaque plus decision to cuts all production. now the timing matched almost perfectly with the midterm elections in the u. s. which take place on the 8th of november, his we ads, explanations to white reject, to the appeal. the government of the kingdom clarify through a continuous consultation with the u. s. administration. that all economic analyses indicate that postponing the opec plus decision for a month, according to what has been suggested,

would have had negative economic consequences. this is a pretty big revelation. they're letting a pretty big cat out of the bag that it seems that the priority of us leaders, when it came to asking opec to move ahead with their decisions. and they asked to delay it for one month because they were concerned about us election results. that a clear it appears the november 8 mid term elections that are set to take place here in the united states with a new congress will be elected members. the house of representatives, members, 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. there's that all this talk of calling the 70 year relationship between the usa in saudi arabia and 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, that behaves the sway towards us for years. we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has seconds shopped up journalists, it 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, when they didn't, 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 us troops that are in strategic areas, supporting saudi arabia to be removed. and here's the no pack 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 prices. ready a

negative effect in the united states is quite dramatic. now, the saudi foreign minister expect this will all blow over after the big elections are over. unfortunately, when you're in the election season with some people called the funny season, a lot of things are said in lots of things have 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 it is revealed on the part of us leaders. they essentially

wanted saudi arabia to play ball with them. and make decisions that would have political benefit for them in the short term when it came to how americans vote on november. 8th of involved, the vice chair, the u. s. libertarian national committee says that the obvious way out of the crisis is just to live sanctions on russian 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 investment 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. busy 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 problem. when you

create foreign animals, the that'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 organization that existing in american politics. so you have defense contractors and those that other other contractor that benefit from war. they are of course, happy to see as much conflict as possible. the problem that everyone else in america benefits from p. and so the correct solution is the end, the sanction and all sanctions on oil and everything else. allow americans to freely trade with any individual. with whom they choose which is not stream to pipeline that would not pose a risk to european or german gas security will, according to top secret security assessment written for months before the war and

ukraine started. the report was drawn up by the previous german government, which of course was led by chancellor angel anglo merkel, and was recently be classified 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, if former germans as are going to merkel about it to be talked under the need a war bus. well, you know, the bumps certainly come in handy at this point on route to math, public outrage over energy related actions 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 he said, just for months before everything popped off and ukraine and while merkel was still chancellor concluded that quote, the grabbing a certification of north street he does not jeopardize and security of gas supply

in germany, andy or p n union. in other words, know, national security problems for germany and doubling down on russian gas. but critics are not blasting merkel and the assessment and, and saying that she's being naive here or 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. n g from other parts of the world. it's worth noting that current chancellor schultz was merkel vice chancellor at the time of this report and his weakness now and failing to resist brussels energy sanctions places germany's industry. so the blocks economic driver on the front line of sanctions below back particularity given the countries over reliance on an unripe and best green energy strategy. and by the way, those green energy fantasies of shunning coal and nuclear for germany were only

made possible thanks to cheap, rushing down. 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 or just the 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. and so the you in germany decides to finally stop resisting long standing u. s. efforts to have europe can 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. so to the streets of leave in germany, protestors were inventing the government policy waving flags and banners shouting that we don't freeze for profit. rising food prices as well as the lack of

affordable housing and inflation. we're among the other grievances. the demonstrates is highlighted. dr. k met economists and publicists as us energy could never fully meet european demands. russia was always very reliable partner or a reliable supplier, even in times where there was harmony. however, you want to knowledge. first, 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 bricks 1st that they were visitors in the international market. and now they think it's. busy 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 energy 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 digital based dictatorship. those are some of the new stories, the shapes, the we care on auction to national form on any of them do head of a 12 websites r t dot com, monday to scott are with another look at around 30 minutes time with the .
