i didn't so much as i going to thought that i was on the system a what i see these do you both use? the little gear motivation says, do you do gumbo sub ah, 2 people are killed and 14 injury. does ukraine attacks that time in russia, belgrade region, causing civilian infrastructure to catch fire? a knocking on water and power in the area? she gin ping is reelected as the chinese communist party leader for on this story. 3rd term, raising the efforts of the nations, people in building a, quote, prosperous society, and adding now the country should be vigilant. looking ahead also coming up this hour with

katy faces must protest with paypal, rallying against the current government. soaring prices on calls for international troops to be deployed in the country with the top stories from the past 7 days. and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly on rti hello and welcome to people, including a teenage boy have been killed after ukraine attack, the russian time of ship economic and the belgrade region. on sunday, a further 14 people were left wounded according to local authorities. many of those hospitalized are currently said to be in a grave condition. now, for several hours, locals have been without power. as a result of ukrainian artillery and mortar shelling, targeting villian infrastructure. huge clouds of smoke have been seen over the town

after a local shopping center was hit and burned down that blaze, then spread 2 vehicles parked nearby. when recent weeks, the belgrade region on the russian side of the crane border has become the at focus of intensified attacks by keith's forces. civilian and power infrastructure sites have been hits as well as in amunition warehouse. the region sure is a 400 kilometer frontier with ukraine. and while this sunday morning, ukrainian forces had 2 towns in the loop, ganske republic authorities say using the u. s. supplied high mars rocket system. the nearby done yet. republic came under fire as well, with officials reporting at least $35.00 strikes against civilian areas. at ortiz, from lancaster, as he has been for months, is in that area. he sent us this report about people living under those constant

effect. this is just one of many neighborhoods in the nest that is under constant fire by the ukrainian military. it's purely residential now. this particular house came under fire on friday evening when all residents were here, no casualty this year, no human casualties. however, a dog was killed also quite a lot of damage to the house itself. take a look at the windows. they are all blown out. there are shards from the rocket everywhere in the house, and this is where the shell fell. according to officials, this was a 155 millimeter nato made shell american still hear the sounds of artillery in this neighborhood. now one person was right behind this score. as the show fell right here. miraculously he survived. he only received

a concussion, but the car has been completely destroyed. then i think would've done more. we've had no water since february, so have to bring water. we just got out of the cold, my brother, and we're about to bring water inside the house. my wife was at home was the fullness of dealing with that. with the, you know, my husband was near the entrance to the house when the windows were blown out. his brother was standing by the car and the strike hit him right there. everything was shrouded in smoke and i honestly thought something had happened to him. my parents live nearby, shrapnel flew into their windows. all the furniture was broken. even the wall was damaged. thank god, no one was hurt. this is just one of many hospitals that continues to admit civilians on a daily basis. now, one woman that was injured in the last few days is right in this room as us will upstream keith, come are you. and there was a showing of the key of region. when i was on the street, i heard the blast and i felt kicked to the back of my head. probably it was

a brick, some flying dust was everywhere. i felt blood running down my face. the immediately called the ambulance and the ministry of emergency situations. i suffered the broken leg and got sharpness in my back. ukrainian military continues to show civilian areas of them as great. now, as we speak and the local hospitals continue to admit patients with various degrees of injuries, however, the city of the nest continues to live, continues to survive as that people are hoping that sir peace will finally come here very soon, and they will have no longer have to hide from constant bombing by the ukrainian military. rum on, call for a marty, done as people's republic. okay. turning our attention no from the shelling of civilians, ukrainian president wagner. zalinski has called in western backers to mind an attack on russia. in the case of moscow targeting his base and key of with nuclear

arms. if russia uses nuclear weapons against the office of the ukrainian presidents, the royal should respond with a blow with frosh and decision making santos, it doesn't matter whether ukraine is nature member or not. this is all happening on the european continent. nobody is allowed to blackmail are the us like a terrorist. despite that massive diplomatic, financial and military support, key of his receiving it's key western allies, the spike. perhaps the rhetoric use the peer reluctant to be dragged into a direct conflict regardless of the weapons use. there has been loose talk coming from president putin and from other russians about this is the height of irresponsibility. ah, particularly coming from a member of the united nations security council is something that we look at very carefully. and that we take very seriously,

given what rushes already done in ukraine. we've to date see no reason to change our own nuclear posture. our doctrine is based on the fundamental interests of our nation, and they are clearly defined. if a nuclear strike was launched on ukraine, these interests wouldn't be affected. what all that comes just which said, go as ukraine's leader insisted. nato should carry out a preemptive nuclear strike on russia. the statement provoked anger from moscow, which accused kiev of seeking a nuclear war, but reiterated it would only use such weapons solely as a response if this sovereignty of the country was at risk. afterwards, mister zalinski backtrack door was forced it, saying that he had meant more sanction should be employed to prevent an atomic conflicts. well for more on their soul is good to talk to brian berlin. bryan is a former us marine geo political unless welcome to the program today. why do you

think presidents lensky is? i would say repeatedly raising the issue of a nuclear threat as moscow has dated. any such strikes would only be retaliatory. that sounds like desperation. i think everyone can agree it is a wonderfully clear that he is not a location where decisions are made regarding the conflict that that is all done in brussels, washington wanda, and the idea that russia would launch some sort of nuclear attack on the 3rd raja and never made any comment, even remotely close to suggesting something like that would happen. so it, it comes across as desperation and frustration from here. do you think the west is or will be ready to fight for ukraine, given the possibility it could be nights,

worldwide? nuclear war? i think there is definitely going to be has a patient to do so, but i don't think anyone should underestimate the. the desperation of the west itself is coming face to face with the feet. the feet of one of its proxy wars. perhaps one of the most important proxy wars, it's the fee and that's the conflict will be world changing. it will be the end of western lead unit polar rhythm and the emergence of multi polar some. i don't think anyone should underestimate how far the west would go to try to preserve it's. it's domination of the planet away from the public comments perhaps. how do you think western officials react? brian, when demands such as what we heard from the ukrainian leader, comes into launch attacks on, on russia. they supported publicly or privately. you think they're, they are thinking it's really hard to tell. so much of what he does

publicly is something they were told to do privately by the west. it's really uncertain if the west really is not interested and escalating this beyond a proxy conflict. and i think president, one sky comments would be very problematic for the west. the counter strike that president lensky is requesting from the west. he's asking it to be triggered rather specifically if his office in key of is attacked. why do you think his words were, may be formed like that? is there a risk that he may be looking to to instigate this and bringing bring the world to war? like how else can you look at comments like that? i look at it as comments from a man who is desperate, who realizes that despite the western media portray and these are transfers as a turning point. there actually and points ukrainian military has exhausted its

trains. manpower, it's heavy weapons. the west is openly the, the support is trickling to a halt because their inventories are being emptied out. so what is next or the lensky it is, you does not have bright prospects for the future. i think he could imagine himself being surrounded in kiev again as he was in february and march. and i think he really is very pessimistic, no matter how optimistic he tries to appear in regards to the current. the current state of ukraine's offences which are most likely temporary, brian, is there anything that can be done to deescalate tensions, right? i, particularly in terms of negotiating, ukraine and russia talking and peace being at the, at the forefront of those talks. ready is that something that you can see happening?

it's, it's something that really is the only possible exit, or someone like that one sky or ukraine every, every day that goes by their, their country will get smaller and smaller. their forces will be more and more depleted, their infrastructure will be diminished, their economy further and shambles. the longer they hold off on the go see ation for worse, it's going to be. but again, as, as i mentioned, the decisions aren't being made and they're being made by nation using ukraine as a prostate and these nations are very clearly not interested in ukraine's best interests. brian much appreciate your time, as always, thanks for coming and talking to us today. bryan burlesque, former us marine a geopolitical analyst. thank you. the big story of the day now she gen paying has been reelected as head of the chinese communist party leader for the next 5 years after a vote by the central committee confirmed his ruled. she who will now begin

historic 3rd term of the country's leader praise the efforts of chinese citizens in developing the country, and that the nation should be vigilant. looking at duncan shonda in the face of new challenges, we must stand hiler, be silver minded and prudent, like a student sitting for a never ending exam. we must promote inner party governance. we must make sure that our century old party, the biggest in the world, will become ever more vigorous through self reform and continue to be the strong backbone that the chinese people can lean on at all times. what does she do? pay her just delivered touch upon the greatest achievement 5 years and the young and p highlights a clear go. once again to promote the great would you the nation of the chinese nation. my chinese file of modernization have central talk of the new journey and it was an important declination i'd say to set out again new victory. and she

to pay for the people leadership, which is very, which is quite notable in that speech and given, given the trust people and the burden of the new iraq, she himself, the new general secretary or central committee. i'm central leadership. i thought people be all party members and how tiny people to go with confidence. besides, you mentioned the communist party of china with them. it would mean they contribute to trying to solution to people all over the world or, and even the civilization at the my, i need to make it clear that the central committee was electric by over 2000 delegates. that's funny, nash, national 2050 the national congress on saturday. and every step was in accordance with the procedure. the pull it bureau standing committee actually played

a crucial role and in decision making, chinese politics. so together these leadership members will help you move forward. it's goal, as i said, to beaut 8 at china. it's a modern socialist contract. ah ok, another story to bring you today. the u. s. a suggested at the u. n. to deploy an international security force to haiti, that's the government there is struggling to deal with chaos in the country. ah, well, that call did not go done well, thousands took to the streets and put a prance in opposition to the request, demanding that the prime minister resign. the protests are ruptured hours after an emergency meeting of the un security council regarding the ongoing prices. the haitian government has requested foreign troops to be deployed immediately,

but much of that general population appear to be against the deployment and any intervention. among us we don't need an activation of our country, we can find solutions in our own. why don't they strengthen the police and the army? whoa to them if they come to our land because we don't need them here today in the yes they're calling on for in the us to come and torture us because they already have a habit of doing this. they have already come 4 times to our country as an intervention force. this has never brought any changes to us. on the contrary, they gave the for president a, could a talk, exiled him, grapes stall, everything from our goes to all gold mines where calling the united states, canada, and france to remove the embassies from the country, will burn them because we will be doing the same as the people of brook in a facile sri lanka. in the meantime though, the un security council has approved the joined us mexican resolution to sanction quote, anyone who threatens piece security or stability in haiti. and some

u. s. media outlets or king to see american troops in the caribbean, nation, a coal which has not gone unnoticed. the washington post editorial board has called for military intervention in hazy 8 times since the july 2021 assassination of president joe over no more ease. haiti is on the brink of revolution and the u. s. will do anything to stop it. now we're up to 9. washington post editorial board called the military intervention. hazy since some 2021. it hasn't even been a week since the last one. well, these are the actual headlines that were mentioned in the tweets the washington post to the biden administration, to quote, intervene and put boots on the ground in a t. we discussed the issue with journalist and filmmaker done cohen, who authored the online messages and the ongoing, neo colonial plunder of haiti. a situation that has,

hasn't changed in essentially 2 centuries. and the u. s. has been responsible for could a cause for invasions, for all kinds of horrible crimes against 80. and this is, and this is exactly what the us wants to do. once again to maintain the status quo of enormous profits for, for its local oligarchs. well, aside from the resources there in haiti, the main reason is that the u. s. cannot allow an example such as haiti to inspire other countries to go out of the orbit of us empire as it, as it has inspired other countries before and each for the haitian revolution led to the collapse of chattel slavery in the west. and european colonialism and the u . s. wants to maintain its grip on the western hemisphere when it calls its backyard. and it cannot allow essentially a domino effect if something were to happen in haiti, then who knows what happens in the dominican republic or puerto rico. so, so the u. s. can not let any country whether haiti or otherwise make an example.

the protest also across europe, this week, snow price for guessing over what people's anger rising over the cost of living. there governments response to the crisis. as you can see there, it did spill on to the streets, particularly in front. rachel marston are parse based correspondent, or contributor i should say, has been and taking a look at the latest moves by western politicians which triggered the outreach all the chaos in europe. these days is a large part due to the fact that your opinion leaders hardly ever take responsibility for their own actions. and because they don't consider themselves responsible, then they never really feel the need to correct or even when their actions turn catastrophic. the current energy crisis, for example, rustled, reacted to the conflict and ukraine by sanctioning their own chief rush and gas supply. and then blaming russian president vladimir putin for their actions. then when it became clear that europe was being hit,

harder by their own sanctions than russia was, while the devil down again and again, 8 times with 8 sets of sanction broke up to up to date, to the point of cutting themselves off from 20 paper imports. at the time when even toilet paper factories in europe base was skyrocketing, energy costs are struggling to produce that the inability of so called leaders to own their mistakes is a big problem. and it was on full display recently when you chief diplomat, burrell compared europe to a garden and the rest of the world to a jungle in a speech to a diplomatic academy. the rest of the world must have the rest of the goal. it's a jungle. and the jungle could invade regarding the garden. it has to go to the jungle. the to be in. this has to be much more engage with the rest of the world. for that, why the rest of the world will invade us. it wasn't long before the outrage started rolling in both on and off line with the united arab emirates, for example,

demanding an explanation from b e u mission to the u. e. and calling to remark, quote, inappropriate and discriminatory. meanwhile, burrell has tried to clarify his remarks, rather than just withdrawing them altogether. my reference to jungle has no racist, cultural or geographic connotation. some have misrepresented the medical as colonial euros. centrism, i'm sorry if some have felt offended. look at not like morale had a slip of the tongue. here he launched into a whole diatribe about the garden and the jungle that went on and on and on. and apparently at no point did it occur to him, to just quickly move along to the next part of his speech that didn't involve me gardens and jungles. but now morale is saying that anyone clearly heard and us versus them a message of european or western exceptionalism. well, that's on you. that's your problem. what's the last time you actually heard of european leaders say, story or event?

what we messed up. let's try that and alter course before we make it even worse. here's another example. when bruce, my minister of about 10 seconds less truss took a break earlier this week from on clocking at 10 down the street. to announce that she a movie out again shortly. here's what she said. i came into office at the time of great economic and international instability. families and businesses were worried about how to pay that bills. putin's illegal war and ukraine threatens the security of a whole continent. and all countries have been held back for too long by low economic price reflecting blame for poor management of britain on to put in who had nothing to do with choices that the u. k. government made is certainly easier than to the fact that it was trusses major to economic moves of her own making. that of exacerbated the hardships as did her role. and the previous government led by boris

johnson that written on the 4th and across the point of the us president joe biden is pretending that washington is just an innocent bystander to all the kiosks who can be expected to take responsibility or alter course to the benefit of teeth that don't citizens or even those of european allies. i've been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices. says put an invasion of ukraine, cause these prototypes have these prices, the spike, and rattle international oil market. washington has been an active participant in jenny, up then aiding and abetting and prolonging the ukraine. conflict and bite is acting like a victim of circumstances in an attempt to solve the democrats ahead of mid term elections of responsibility for the whole mass. about the only way citizens have these days to impose accountability is through the ballot box. and then the same

establishment fixtures end up wondering how they possibly could have ended up being voted out. so then what do they do? well, they usually just blame blind recruiting for the result. of course, the, this week, the world 3rd biggest gas export or guitar, refuse to divert gas flows from asia to europe for winter. the gulf countries energy minister said existing contracts must be respected and worn the e. u of a deepening energy crisis given it's pushed towards green policies. 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, i'm going to allow coal, i'm going to burn few oils. the us trying really hard to save its members from soaring gas prices while sticking to the goal of giving up on gas import 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 car has most of its volumes already contracted under such deals with buyers outside europe. recently, chinese ellen gee, importers have been selling their excess inventory to europe, which has been a relief for brussels, but bay jean has told their energy giants to stop 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 metric consequences of these crisis is for europe to lose competitiveness. and so our 2 main commitments, 1st on the clean end of the transition and settlement on implementing reforms and investments of next generation you. last week, the russian president vladimir potent pointed out that one of the 2 nor stream to gas pipes remains on damage. so if you're a peon buyers, one extra russian gas, all they have to do is certify the operation of north street to well for now the

you hasn't made a single step in that direction. or global economic analyst a mean, you'd say that europe citizens feeling the heat or lack of, from their government's political decision. this is like, you can see that after the opec plus decision took up production, you can see that a lot of the gcc countries are changing their stance. and the are kept are actually that officially. few months ago, they were, they were little bit more to mystic about spending production to, to europe. but we can see it now. the cuts are actually change the stance towards your and they're actually saying we cannot commit to europe for the upcoming years . as we have, as they have other contracts, especially with other asian conflicts. so i think that the minister cutty minister is right about his predictions and europe needs to actually find out her sources.

i'm cyclists, an american citizen who used to work for a u. s. intelligence agency has pleaded guilty to causing the death of britain 19 year old hurry done back in 2019. it's the conclusion of what has been drawn out case involving diplomatic evasion. the teenagers family saves their commitment to finding justice for their son has been fulfilled. get into court and get into where, where now has been the most monumental thing for me because i can talk to harry now and tell him we've done it promised completes. i feel like and bris easier. i don't have that guilt on my shoulders of not haven't done it yet. or some background in august 2019 missed the coolest hit motorcyclist. hurry done while driving on the wrong side of the road in the east midland, in england. as a u. s. intelligence officer,

she was referred to by her lawyers in court. she came diplomatic immunity within 3 weeks after the accident left the country, washington refused to extradite her. since then, the coolness attended hearings by a video link from the capital. she was initially accused of causing death by dangerous driving, but admitted to a less serious charge death caused by careless driving. the maximum sentence for the crime is 5 years in prison. we discussed the issue with british political commentator anthony webber. the interesting thing is when this happened back in august 2009 train, she initially trying to pass the community wrong. but the american government takes hold of it said, because the hospital or the american government, but then the subsequent became now and then not in american court proceedings that

she herself, she did well for the american intelligence that have since been they didn't specify which one i'm a, it's a border issue which, which needs addressing may be a number of offenses where i think about the community i shouldn't be applied or even a dr. stole remain. that survey is agreement, but country use will ensure all that if people working for them in a country by the law, they actually do for them the correct criminal procedures tree. and as subject to the court proceedings or punishments for whatever crime they may be found killed c o.
