joining us. and so there are reports that is showing us some of the heaviest the burgers has seen since the start of the war in ukraine. what do you say to that? well, according to the local officials, ukraine fired at least 15 shells against the city of belgrade. this says sundays are most of those. the missiles were uh, were taken down by the air defense systems that are working here, but unfortunately a, some of them actually landed and they landed sea and territory were there, there are no, there is no infrastructure critical infrastructure. it's a regular piece of civilians that live here. now you can see right behind me, this is one of the places of impacts of that ukrainian missile. gas pipeline was damaged there. you can see people are now working on restoring power lines as well. now rush investigative committee, a working here to now take

a look at the house. it's been completely destroyed. the one there. now, this one, as i understand this house belongs to an elderly couple senior citizens. now when the miss file or whatever weapon that was when it's landed here, it's through the older man, a couple of meters from where he was standing. and then he got a concussion and he was taken to the hospital, his wife, she is in the state of shock right now. and she is being taken care of by their relatives. now all in all, there were 3 people that were wounded in belgrade on sunday, as the result of ukrainian shelling will it's been quite a busy news day for belle grove for all the wrong reasons, roma. what's the latest we have on that, sarah? psych that took place at that training ground there yesterday. oh,

ashley bell griffin can headlines the last week or so as being the her shelter constantly on a daily basis. there was quite a lot of destruction, but russian defense ministry issued a statement on a saturday that at terrorist act took place in one of the basis here in belgrade when 2 people shot and killed 11 soldiers volunteers who came on their own accord. they weren't mobilize and they were training here and they wanted another 15 now, according to sources, those 2 people who acted as terrorists were also volunteers. now, according to defense ministry, they represented one of the c i s countries. yes, of course, commonwealth of independent states. there are at least 10 countries there from the former soviet republics. now they weren't specific about so wish nationality. they

were, but they were specific about the fact that they were not russians. and this was a terrorist act. now investigators are still working on the house, on determining what actually happens and what the motivation of these people were. and hopefully we'll find out as soon as possible. hope he'll bring us any updates from nuts investigation. that's ortiz roman casa, bringing us the latest on the shelling on belgrade as well as that terrorist attack usa, thanks roma we discussed the territory on the russian military base with some of our guests who gave their thoughts on what could have caused the incident. 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 who's backs and the, and the taj weeks. 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 on 2 of the members. um 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 to the pipelines and at the bridge. and now this,

and of course, this is in, in the context of russian mobilization and a series of attacks on the ukranian and infrastructure that have that go a little bit deeper than they have in, in the past of 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 to. that would mean that it is a nato attack upon russians. 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 that 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 it,

we can probably assume that it's ukraine, that hello, earlier this week. russia's federal security service said that ukrainian military spooks would behind another a terrorist attack. the crimean bridge bombing, which did kill for civilians the fs be said that 8 people have now been arrested for the agency also said the explosives were hidden in a truck carrying rolls of plastic sheeting using construction. russian president vladimir putin has promised a serious response to any threats made against russia. he was commenting on a series of miss ah, strikes against ukraine, carried out earlier this week. she wouldn't waldrum book this morning upon the initiative of the defense ministry strikes using high precision weapons from land. see an error carriers were made against objects in the ukrainian territory was we will take serious steps to provide an adequate response. can measure it with the levels of threats to the russian federation. no one should have any doubts about

that. ah, targets were hits and at least 15 cities with the russian military, claiming many of the strikes were aimed at energy infrastructure and communication centers. ukraine officials later reported parties across the country with people they're asked to conserve energy as a result of the damage. give also said it would stop exporting electricity to e u countries. a former deputy foreign minister of new zealand spoke to the program earlier. matt robson believes the crimean bridge attack was just one of the reasons why russia has had to broaden its military response that has had to widen its response. and that's understandable. the bombing of the, the, the attack on the, on the climb in bridges. the one aspect, the,

the build up and the constant flow of arms and weapons, and training and intelligence by the united states and its allies to consciously try and widen the war. i can see myself looked at the no choice. so it's not just the bridge. it's the whole escalation, but being fostered by the united states and nato. i'm reading that ukraine's president lensky has issued a national address telling everyone to quote, to cover, but no military response has yet been announced. do you think mr. thompson, that is ukraine waiting for the attacks to end or for perhaps a policy decision by western allies. or is it coming up with a plan? how did you foresee the reaction you is the latter in the key of government is not a, an independent government. the president zalinski has shown that he is, he's

a pop up. i mean, he tries to pull the strings himself about, he's a small fish. he's being directed from western governments. this escalates, it can no longer be a war, fought by the ukrainian forces that you've been using as kevin father in this conflict, quite deliberately, quite cynically. you've got to be faced with looking at putting your own troops in the escalating your own forces. if, if that is the policy that particularly london and washington follow, and i believe that also the other allies in the later camp will be very nervous at this escalation, which could, of course, spill over into their own territories. the chinese communist party at 20th congress kicked off in beijing on sunday with thousands of delegates, including countries. top officials said to define the country future for the next 5 years. his special coverage of the events

ah, in chinese leda, seizing thing, has addressed the delicates in a key note speech looking through the events of the past 5 years in chinese. politics is strongly condemned. the politics of brute force pledging to support international justice as well as multilateralism. a junction to china takes a clear stand against germany and power politics in order manifestations fine. we will unshakable resist any unilateralism and protectionism. we will help build a community with a common future for humanity. she firmly support international justice and uphold and defend the true multilateralism that was she also praised some of the country's achievements, including the g d. p. growth handling of the pandemic as well as reducing poverty. china's presidents also promised in his opening speech that the chinese military would be brought her world class standard by 2027 to market centenary in

a thinly veiled condemnation. however of us options present. she also emphasized that china condemns taiwanese separatism and the role of foreign states that encourages why move you to a shoe should we sincerely and with all our might continue to strive for a peaceful re unification. but we 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 pro taiwan independent separatists and their secessionist activities. although taiwan is recognized by most countries as part of china, the us has been accused of supporting 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 and angry response from beijing, followed by massive chinese military drills around the territory. let's cross live now to see g t n a correspondent, fang ye, les,

who's got the latest from the congress. thank. thank you very much for joining us today. thank you. so in, in his latest speech, shooting, ping called on the ruling party to build what he called a modern socialist shine in all respects. what measures do you think will be taken to achieve that? well, the record fitting a tone, you put a country's development with more than that, they should ask one of the key words. and given that china aim to realize social information from 2020 through 2035. the next 5 years will be crucial for getting the efforts to build a more than socialist country in all respects, according to shipping and report high light spc to lead to chinese people or ethnic groups to what that go as a central top. and for example, china will continue to push forward with kind of to ship the focus from quantity to

quality and hope process people, democracy, and all these a closely related to improve people with well being and their quality of life. and besides trying to believe prosperity and should be achieved by joint efforts, the global community with neutral trust and respect and efforts include it pops the patient in, for example. he's keeping missions and efforts to tackle the climate change and also consolidate its efforts in building a community with share future main. hi. now i believe the speech was quite long and quite wide ranging. what of the topics did president a sheet touch upon? well, other important information include the industrial system, which will be also be more nice with measures to advance new industrialization and

trying to boost its friends a manufacturing in terms of that product quality, aerospace, a transportation cyberspace and many more and trying to well also work with the that the marketplace decisive role in resource allocation and that the government play baxter, its role, and also the country will advance revitalization across across the country by consolidating and expanding its achievements in poverty alleviation. and the country will reinforce the foundations for food security. and beside hyphen opening up will also be promoted, which is important for the whole load is trying to try to say it was deadly expand . if it's, you know, open it up. where's the recall to rules regulations management and spend the a to accelerate the transformation of, into a, at the trade of a trade or

a quality and promote the high quality development of the bell 10 road initiative. now obviously the tie, one issue is quite a hot topic at the moment and the world's attention is focused on not what developments do you think we'll see in the chinese policy towards taiwan? well, actually, she didn't move on. taiwan has won the longest a post during his speech and the china will implement its overall policy for resolving the toilet issue and in the new era. and on swimmingly, advanced the course of national unification. but he is at that age well, continue to strive for peaceful unification with the greatest infinity and efforts . and in terms of showing respect and care for tie. one competitor, she mentioned a feature that include, for example,

continue to promote economic and cultural changes and the corporation that encourage people on both sides to work together to promote chinese culture and forged close upon. but meanwhile, they're really trying to reserve the option of taking all measures necessary solely at interference by outside, full and few separate c t, taiwan independence and their separate activities, but not targeting taiwan portraits. and finally, the event itself will be going on for several more days. and of course, we'll be covering it here on our see. what else should we expect? with the fall, we are informed that there will be 2 press conferences going on to morrow. and the 1st one will be journalists on how china will apply the new development loss of the and that just echoes your 1st question. how china were for

a new patch in the development to promote high quality development. and yeah, i think that will answer your question a steve health and 2nd press that well, reef the public. how safety will exercise, comprehensive and self governance over the party, which some belief is a key. it is a key elements that guarantee the parties, long term, long term governance. and in the, in the next few days, although we, we still haven't get to the very specific information. but according to the some of that, well, that will appear at the upcoming precedence. i think we can also expect a logical protection issues and kind of foreign policy used to be addressed. well, that's great. the gts correspondence thing ye lay bringing us all the latest from

that congress in beijing. thank you very much. i very comprehensive updates. now we heard from beijing based political analyst shook window, who says that washington uses tie one to destabilize china. it's really about the relationship between china and the united space. we know during the cold wall the u . s. and the u. s. lead west basically have this kind of pull up the very hostile with water, the former soviet union. and that proved to be costly for both sides. so the chinese side has twice, very hard to, to avoid a coating wall launched by washington. that's why you do hear. chinese leaders criticize washington for having this kind of mentality. that is when the, the china continues to develop some elite in washington. the are afraid of being replaced. the number one economy at large, if the country in the world,

all the worried about losing him is the predominant position globally over the united states. they're using ty, one against the chinese stability to create trouble to create, for example, instability, damage, peace and stability in this region that will ultimately not lead her to the chinese development, but also countries in the region. so you do see why days of very little support for the us, you know, provocation against china or bring you more in our special coverage of all the keys summit from the points of the summits in beijing in the coming days. so due to stay tuned for that ah, in this week also sol washington class with regard to

following saudi arabia's claims that the binding ministration us for a one month delayed the opec plus decision the course or production of the timing months to almost perfectly with the midterm elections in the u. s. on the 8th of november, we are to explain why it rejected that appeal. the government of the kingdom clarify or 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 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 with a new congress will be elected members. the house of representative 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 daddy radian question years. 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'd 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 behaves this way towards us? for years, we have looked the other way as saudi arabia has shopped up, journalists has engaged in mass and 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 us,

they 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 the supply of 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 it's 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 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 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 info or vice chair for 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

investments that was needed. 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 animosity. 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 i am 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 that everyone else in

america benefits from peace. 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 the 3 day russian energy week international forum concluded earlier this week in moscow with the presence of leading industry companies from russia under broad russian president vladimir putin addressed the events in his keynote speech. he mentioned the old stream projects, gas prices on the role of western countries in the ongoing energy crisis. a major points of discussion. the forum was whether the e u has enough just reserves to get through the upcoming winter. the head of the russian energy giant gas from shed his assessments. hey, scott, was returning to the question where the europe can survive was injected gas volume that they currently have an underground storage. the answer is very simple and no one can give any guarantee if we talk about the act of guest volume and on the

ground storage facilities in europe, then we must 1st talk about germany, the volume of active gas injection capabilities and germany amounts to $21.00. point 5000000000 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 autumn winter period. this means that guess in the underground storage facilities in germany is enough for 2 or at the most 2 and a half months. that's more, and it's not just europe experiencing energy concerns. africa is also feeling the strain. a sustainable energy development was a topic for discussion at the moscow energy week for him as moscow seeks to build close of partnerships across the continent of the forum. we spoke with the african energy chambers representative and j. ioc and the head of the russian africa. some, it's a leg as your of, and they shed their thoughts on the issue. i've seen russian and african countries have really looked and walking to pass on a lot of energy projects. you could look at gas prompts investments in algeria and libya. you could look at, ross nef participate in some of the project around was

a big because africa has this big problem of energy, poverty, 600000000 people without access to electricity, 900 without access to clean cooking technologies. so looking at russia, look at on 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 in africa's need 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, my 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, still an importer of energy resources. thus, despite africa's significant oil and gas reserves, particularly in the mozambique shelf area.
