a, a little late with sign the declaration of martial law in the for you russian territories don't. it's kind of gone to republics, as well as the here of solomon's upper georgia. regional's were all under martial law. and even before they joined russia, the time has now come to make this official but then declares martha law and for russian territory on the front line with the claim being written down the ramifications of the move award view. it faces a severe crisis next winter with russian gas supplies, and he refuses to divert more gas exports from russia to europe. by

any measure, the u. s. is falling behind the russia and china when it comes to hypersonic weapons. warning from experts, panels by may dealers, defense contracts with hello, welcome to our international wilkerson life from there, it's just the past, the top of the hour. i'm more time on me. let's take a look at today's top stories. an official administrative office in the city has been severely damaged as a center came under relent. the showing by ukrainian forces earlier on thursday. so ways from the shilling shafted windows in a nearby building. the scaffold lost near the administrative sight in the area has

also been severely damaged. there are no immediate reports of casualties following the attack. meanwhile, on the other side of the frontline air raid sirens of salad, across several regions in southern and central hugh grant brazil as he announced another 3 energy production facilities in his country have been heads and disabled . the news comes as the cranes energy research center reports 40 percent of the country's power infrastructure have been damaged from recent attacks. as ukraine troops all said it to be preparing a sold on the russian city has on, by the methods and has declared martial law in for new territories. that recently joined russia. the present analysis of decision jury and meeting of the countries security council. but then a little late with sign, the declaration of martial law in the for you, russian territories donates can guns. republics as well as the here saw names up

rosier regions were all under martial law even before they joined russia. the time has now come to make this official and says the decision to impose marsha low comes the response of terrorist threats from ukraine. according to the russian presence decree, regional leaders have been granted additional powers to insure security and enforce measures to meet the needs of the russian army. russian prime minister mikaela mission in has been appointed to lead a special counsel to coordinate security efforts. the deputy head of the has on ministration says martial law will help defend the russian region. move west and backs you creating assaults. still what is the way your map are going? yeah, the introduction of martial law automatically means to her, so regional will definitely be defended. we create a new analyses are now wait in a war against russia with help from a convert block of nato countries. according to russia's legal system,

martial law will expedite mobilization and neutralization of obstacles towards ensuring the russian military, defense, and logistics of the her son region. now let's take a look at the implications of martial law. the restrictions are put in place during situations of external aggression or an immediate threat. they are aimed at securing public order and limiting the place where residents can go. even curfews are implemented with the limitation of when people and vehicles can be on the streets. local rotors will be temporary resettle if they are living in dangers urs . martial law will also enable additional protection for critical military and state facilities. we spoke with alexandria supernova russian, military expert who says the terror tactics used by ukraine. make marsal know the only way to protect civilians. protecting our population is the priority. now ukraine, we use unconventional methods of confrontation,

including terrorist acts. their command is unpredictable in terms of how they may attack. we understand that a terrorist war has been launched against us for now, the introduction of martial law is the only option to maintain control of the situation. we understand that sabotage groups might have already penetrated these border areas. and now the main task is to identify and prevent possible terrorist attacks cut us energy misses one year up, it will face an even worse energy crisis next winter without russian gas. this comes awful was the biggest gases for the has refused to divert more gas flows from asia to europe this winter. you just don't have enough volume to bring in to replace the gas for the long term. unless you're saying i'm going to be building huge nuclear plants and going to allow coal, i'm going to burn fuel oils according to the cold. sorry minister europe does have

enough gas to get through this winter, but he also says the block will be hard pressed. once those reserves run out, are teas, india, but shrink, explains what european countries are doing to stay warm. the us trying really hard to save its members from soaring gas prices while sticking to the goal of giving up on gas imports from russia. the european commission has just come up with a set of proposals. they include joint gas purchase, the creation of a liquefied natural gas pricing benchmark, and also default energy solidarity between members. states, one of the lifelines for the e. you could have been long term supply deals for l. g with guitar, one of the world's largest l, g producers. but the problem is that could tar has most of its volumes already contracted under such deals with buyers outside europe. recently, chinese ellen g importers have been selling their excess inventory to europe,

which has been a relief for brussels, but beijing house told their energy giants to stuff that practice ahead of winter. in february this year could tar already warned europe of serious consequences if it were to quit gas import from russia. but as we understand, these warnings fell on deaf ears. russia provides, i think, 30 to 40 percent of the supply to europe. there is no single country that can replace that kind of volume. there isn't the capacity to do that from l n g. now the energy crisis has indeed gone so far that you officials are admitting that the blogs, green commitments could be in jeopardy. the risk that there is in this aston metric consequences of these cries, this is for europe to lose competitiveness. and so our 2 main commitments,

1st on the clean energy transition and 2nd on implementing reforms and investments of next generation you. last week the russian president, vladimir, can pointed out that one of the 2 north stream to gas pipes remains on damaged. so if your p in buyers want extra russian gas, all they have to do is certify the operation of nord stream to well for now the you hasn't made a single step in that direction. media's furthest and rises sorted out, it says that e consists should blamed souls for the energy crisis. as casa has contractual obligations with other consumers. if you might not be so there is no doubt that in the near future, the situation in europe will worsen as no alternative to russian gas has been found . and no agreements have been reached with guitar and gas supplies. guitar has been

a priority country approached by europe because of the infrastructure and ketter's proximity to europe. it was necessary to agree on the timing of deliveries between guitar and the you. but the timing did not suit guitar. this is a normal situation. guitar has the right to refuse, because the country has contractual obligations with other consumers. i believe that the you countries should blamed themselves. they did not plan anything. unfortunately, the european union countries stood up against russia and did not want to hear moscow and did not support it against the position of the united states, which tried to put pressure on russia on this issue. therefore, could char or other exporting countries are not responsible for this crisis. the u. s. is unlike hidden behind ross and china when it comes to hypersonic weapons. but what officials are excellent,

but warmed at julian panel on the massachusetts sponsored by raytheon and major pentagon supplier, we have fallen behind russia and especially china. every time we did war games and certain scenarios around the world, we found out that when the united states was facing about it had the delta rep, billy, if we didn't have that capability, we lost testing is something we're behind on. we're behind china, even even russia for that matter of this is the friend itself. and such weaponry is also being questioned as a congressional report warms of countries re does on quote, insufficient for tracking russian and chinese missiles. hybrid like missiles fly at least 5 times the speed of sound. they can also maneuver while traveling to the target. in 2017 russia became the 1st country to fill such weapons, deploying the king jill as to surface massage. the range of such weapons in, well,

most of those also also includes the system carried by intercontinental ballistic missile. and the con and tissue massage. the u. s. is not expected to be able to deploy hypersonic weapons before next year. the concerns over hypersonic weapons come out of the annual heritage foundation report. once the u. s. military has become weaker than it was last year. it was a low assessment of the statement of air and naval forces with a slightly higher evaluation on the state of ground forces. despite ever increasing military spending in the u. s. score with a former marine corps intelligence officer says even as the u. s. and industrial complex twice to get more money from washington. it will be hard to increase the speed of development when it comes to focus on equivalence. united states has spent the last 20 years fighting low intensity conflict in iraq and afghanistan. our

focus hasn't been on building weapon systems capable of confronting peer or even near peer opponent. so china, russia, even the iran, you know, now we're trying to play catch up. and, you know, if the, the american defense procurement system is not to one that is, are you good at doing a rapid development of weapons? it's, it's specializes in dragging things out over the long term that helps to make more money. but congress is a little hesitant because they've been taken for a ride in the past, but he's very st. finch contractors. the russians have a very effective air defense, integrated air defense system that can protect against almost anything the united states can throw at it. um, united states has nothing to protect against the russian hypersonic capability. so it's a, it's advantage russia and i know in any protracted conflict,

even even a short term conflict, the ability to inflict damage on an opponent that can't be reciprocated, tends to indicate who's going to win when the confrontation the earth decision to curb the supply of microchips and chinese companies may create unless stable world mass house samples primarily responded sent news of the sleeping restrictions on technology exports to china. the bite and administration's latest move is a very serious one. i'm sure they have considered it carefully. we do worry that valid national security considerations may trigger further consequences resulting in less economic cooperation, less interdependency, less trust, and possibly ultimately a less stable world. the u. s. has placed, sleeping with on technology exposed to china, including semiconductors and, and ship making equipment last week. the us expect the restrictions to be honored

by taiwan home tools, largest ship maker as well. it should be noted that for an entity to bypass washington's measures, they will need to apply for a special license from the us. the chinese no one has said that this decision will weaken the global economy to van defending, arbitrarily placing cabs for political purposes, the stabilizes, the supply and industrial chains and backfires on one south. it will only further, we can the already fragile world economy we while some west suppliers have started cutting ties to sun type shipment. as a response to new us export controls. the e u countries could shut down production and parts of the ultimate of sector. according to a new report, high energy prices will restrain your supply line and cuts and semiconductor availability are only worsening the problem server. so even though the microchips

a vital for high end manufacturing and equipment, china has been trying to boost a message micro chip production. but it remains heavy depending on supplies from the wills major produces in the us, south career. and so i, one chips are used in advanced computing and weapons and manufacturing and china consumes more than 3 quarters of the semiconductor sold globally. the current credit found marks of most significant action by the us on technology, exports, joyous live and now is wang wine, founder of the sense of china and globalization. thanks for joining us. there are 2, sir. now what it says, it's an export on restrictions on michael chips. china aims to protect us. national security of a sample is a traditional u. s. ally, but even it has become wary of u. s. foreign policy v. china. what would you make of such reactions from singapore?

yes, sir. thank you. oh, i read the latest policy by the years musician semiconductor was really not a wise one because we're no bad. where is really a interconnected, particularly in the high tech and in the also semiconductor area. for example, you know, if you want to put producer chips in it's a 1000 per process. and then of course we're about 70 times to do that. and then, and the reason i think that, that should be best to, you know, can flourish in pi run south korean. you read is because china has the market. uh, you know, as you mentioned in the store, quarters of a chip was sold in china and china the largest the buyer of oil chips produced by tyra and, and, and you are so that we have those so close to the market. so bad because you know,

you cultivate such a large, a manufacture base of chips near china in tyra and in south korea. so that will make sense to cut of them, cut them off, are from this huge market, because i think the going to hurt us company as well because us company. so, you know, we're larger chunk of the chips and technology and equipment to try charging a market and also that, you know, china, i have supported the plan for the mileage on the, on the support there are development and then the favor innovation. so i don't see this really makes sense. you are much into time to work. it's really good. everybody, particularly sam, come back, companies our entire and us. and they are you ready? ready to play? the china is a big buyer of these. so the chips some conductance as well, but i love is western supply. the diesel side, cutting ties with some chinese chip makers in response to this new

u. s. export controller. is it? this is camille worrying facts of china. weapons certainly is not good for china. that's sure a china a few years, but eventually china will come by, but i think it's really close to the advantage of a competitive advantage really for other companies, i believe why, why should oh started again a john is forced to china. we certainly do that. and the child is capable of doing that. so, so what i, what i really thing is that this kind of a gesture, this kind of policy, is sending a very negative messages throughout the room for protection as well. for i solution for unilateralism and a breach of the food show their spirit that years has been pretty rich and for all those years and has been leading that force over the years. it's really sad to see

this is really happening and i mean, you know, cup of all those companies a pipeline to china for the largest market in the world. i, this is really doesn't make sense. you can imagine, you know, 95 percent. but what i found was made in china is only chips, and i'm going to her was company watching. china only can sell 6 percent of its troops in china. i mean, i do think this is make sense. so i'm a thing, you know, it's just you on the u. s. government, but i hope that we're not really room for us. that are so much, i'm a really big, i mean, a lot of the opposition from the business community. i don't think this going. this policies as well as policy and the can carry that far. so good for you know that, i mean, it sort of leads me to the vice. my next question. my final question. so the, what, i mean, some honest, argue that these latest decisions transcends the semiconductor industry. me isn't limits, it's a technology composition. she agreed that it was more behind all this aggression.

yeah, i mean, so i'm hoping sign, you know, we would be super some years pettigrew from the us that they've been on the right hand side of the copper. they don't want to come tang and then you want to support the development of china and how we see the practice. there's almost one carbon company, american entity of which police. this is really ridiculous. amanda, you don't see any chinese government doing anything on the u. s. companies, well, few actually. so that's not really i don't think we need to panic on, on the child's rights. john is rising very peacefully. i've never been to the other country or send any surgeries anywhere. is what it used for so. so i'm also trying to support, i have 30 percent over 30 percent growth in the last in the back. so i think we need to really make sure that we cannot equally so practice for trade, and let's do

a really new so that we can be more economically, they're trying to work. i'm very conflict and we can really bring the american a better position. so it's only 3 to room for everyone. i really see really silly is paramount on me. i'm a chinese, a man really cut off. all these chips applies to china, which i'm sure it wouldn't hurt you as the economy you as companies. and it will put, in fact, in many other sectors will be bouncing back. i don't think, you know, you as a business community and the consumers strouder will tolerate this kind of a cold when mentality and the policy like that very, very well said that see that called woman sounds interesting. if in china switch things around and put restrictions on the u. s. a. v. interesting. maybe they change that, you know? okay. anyway, and founder of the sense of finding globalization. thanks so much for joining me

here today. it was a pleasure to laneesa. thanks again for your time, you ah, but going against the western knives. if i am having an independent position on the dumbass call that apparently results in problems with law enforcement and defendant jernace in jewels. you be yankee covering the war in ukraine says police brookins his hotel room without any explanation. george bianca is an independent photographer and documentary journalist. he looks into stories from around the world, including syria, men, mar, india, and europe. mainly focusing on the political side of the issues. the docu film, apocalypse dumbass as a result of 8 years covering the conflicts and ukraine. earlier he told us about the nitrate by police and the climate for journalists in italy who pushed back on the mainstream western narrative.

but i in front or want to see it. i came here to the italian region of calabria for work. i arrived at the hotel at one i am and then at 3 i am i heard the doorbell in my hotel room and a knock on the door. i see they said open. it's the police alarm. i was clearly asleep at the time. so at 1st i didn't understand if it was a dream reality or some kind of joke because i can't say what exactly the police were looking for in my hotel room. but because in fact, no one has told me or explain anything to me agenda. i was asked for an identity document. i gave them my passports, hear me and figuring the policeman said, no, you're not. italian is on. yeah. and i said, no, look in the passport and he says, oh, you russian goggles. i said i was italian. let me go and then when they asked me questions about what i was doing, they looked into my bag. they looked into my suitcase. they opened the drawers or from a shop, i'm an absolutely pure person. i've never had any problems with justice or not. they didn't show me a warrant and they didn't give me answers about the searching delay. and then i

asked them if it was okay to be woken up at 3 am by the police and to your hotel room hospital. and they told me i was just one of many in question momento, in fact, or gay georgia, melania at the moment, the front, the ga maloney when the election does not change the situation much because the italian government has not yet been fooled. but julia maloney sounds for nato supporting ukraine sydney weapon said so hopeful, continuity of the drug government is obvious. as for independent journalist professionals like me, the situation is always a bit tense because for example, take the situation. when i was returning from russia, i was stopped at the apple both times in april, after 2 months of working in dom boss. and in august, when i interviewed russian foreign ministry spokesperson barriers occur over my passport, was taken away from me. the italian police took me to a room and interrogated me, sorry, i was blacklisted by the italian special services relevant. i'm listed as

a propagandist, as a pro russian propagandist, according to what korea, at al serra that the most important italian newspaper wrote every day. my name appeared on the desk of prime minister mario dragging. let's just say there are a lot of programs on the main italian channels. they attack us from there every day . practically defining us as putin of house pro russian raso fowls, denigrating i work and professionals like me are also under constant attack needle . today we're being passed off as lunatics who want to turn the italian population against the government. o v. i mean, they all are not so about the doors, our party sovereign and popularity face difficulties in the last elections. he dalia saw the italian government collapse at the beginning of the summer and the party was forced to collect the signatures necessary to be able to running the elections in mid august. a time when people go on vacation. that's why the party had very big difficulties. a huge problem with our party is that many people don't

even know about our existence. they get on the, the mainstream me, they never talk about us and never say our name. they just call us on the opposition. i'm open go and therefore it is difficult to convey a message to the public veterans or the election campaign did not last very long on or without. nevertheless, we got results. 400000 people voted for us for a new policy that didn't exist until recently. again, but these people voted for a party with a very clear line, the cause of italy to withdraw from nitro, that is against war and sending weapons to ukraine for everybody. we predicted very much in advance what was happening and cried. we foresaw the energy crisis via your a year ago. your new facebook brought me for a month for making a post about expensive bills. the increased by 400 percent in september 2021. i mean, we had a great advantage in being the 1st party to talk about the problems that many people are talking about or thinking about to day. but nevertheless, those that have been following us for some time. i really like how positions are i

days because i recognize enough, the coherence of principles and above all, the ability to foresee the thing that matters to people today. unfortunately, those are lack of investment in the party by entrepreneurs, which means the very entrepreneurs who are experiencing an economic crisis to day do not want to invest in opposition parties. and this causes as great harmony because we cannot get everyone to hear our voice all. and i must say the government clearly does not like this party. if we just as the media space, which continues to attackers, which causes extremist, sonia also does not like it. so when in fact oppositions absolutely moderate it can back, we are absolutely full. parliamentary mediation is actually, we are certainly in favor of dialogue yet. and we simply ask that our government take a more neutral position regarding the conflict in ukraine, which after all, does not concern us in any way. we are in favor of acting the way turkey does. turkey is taking the road. my country. italy has traditionally played the role of

mediator on the 3rd role in relation to these issues. we, as the sovereign and popular is to be party. hope the dialogue with russia will be resumed as soon as possible. and sanctions will be lifted immediately. officially, sanctions that cause irreparable damage to the economy of europe in general. and italy, in particular, when i, when, when it is a great shame that there is no place for dissenting parties in the city at the moment it evolved, by the way, julia maloney's party also has some serious internal difficulties. be ass, malone in her politicians on the knees, him from to washington. and the voters don't like it. or top all wish i was still ne, middle european media is very biased and does not provide detailed information to the population. unfortunately, we do not have access to russian channels, for instance. so your news cobblestone reaches either we follow them by telegram using channels that rely your news. therefore, it's very difficult for an ordinary person to get access to this kind of

information. we don't worry about it, so we seal this news completely so partially completely handle the, let's say, imperceptibly hospital, i'm just drowned in the flow propaganda that comes from ukraine. i'm from nato countries. for example, he bought the nordstrom blasts, the italian population does not have accurate information about this. 2 i also look at the terrorist attack on the crimea bridge, and in this news did not receive proper reflection, as well as the terrorist attack that killed the daughter of philosopher, alexander doogan all over the journalists. daria de geena, a girl aged 29 years. 1 so it's almost impossible for a person who doesn't know how to maneuver between telegram channels to get a clear idea of what's happening in the world. in particular on the issue nato. ronald eats yog. yes and are so yes. so i'm absolutely convinced that the moment there was a huge problem with the concept of democracy in our country lamb i since now any alternative narrative,

any political party that goes against the government designed by the european union in washington, what is absolutely criminalized. there's no information on television programs, but trials are taking place in which everything resembles the court of the spanish inquisition of the middle ages, in which your opinions are no longer right or wrong. but to morrow, you are treated as an immoral personally, completely discredited. i mean, even when the public sees your face on tv, they will immediately think that what you are going to say is nonsense. it's fake, it's yona. and it was obvious, even when there was a case with korea, dela sarah, bye. yeah, no television channel invited us to speak about the issue and all that is that there were people who defended, for example, my position to quit, but the television did not speak to me or did not interview me and did not ask me what i think about it like so their problem is not the i'm telling the truth or not telling the truth. so just thought of the problem is that what i tell the general public is what creates problems for them. because then people change their minds about the narrative that has been pushed on.
