a with russia is finally allowed to examine the site of last month's explosions on the north stream pipeline system. president vladimir putin says it was clearly a terrorist attack with russia says it's only suspending its involvement in the ukraine grain deal breached in july and not quitting that agreement. speaking at a un security council session called by moscow, it also said any ship movements along the corridor are unacceptable until security guarantees are reached in facial has just

pretty much come about from nowhere. with the head of the european union, central bank says all time high inflation in the euro zone has literally come out of the blue and blames the russian president for all of it. also ahead with whether you're watching our to international. my name's donald quarter. welcome to the program. now, russian president vladimir putin has hosted peace talks between the leaders of armenia and azerbaijan. as the former soviet republics in the south, caucasus seek to establish a sustainable solution to a simmering conflict that has lasted decades and claimed thousands of lives. both armenia and azerbaijan agreed to the importance of maintaining russian peacekeeping forces in the region. 2 warring sides had been fighting for control of the disputed

region of nicole in a car box, and flashes flared up last month with both sides, accusing each other of targeting civilly and objects for doing well. and then you were, it was clearly a terrorist attack, that's how russian president vladimir putin has described the explosions on the north stream pipeline system. after western powers, finally allowed russia to access the site. one month after the damage was done, the boost, he looks the thing this cups lu ms. jess problem has been allowed to examine the explosion site on the north stream pipeline system. there were 2 craters, 3 and 5 meters deep. a pipe 40 meters long was ripped out of place, bent at a 90 degree angle, and hurled 40 meters to the side in the direction of the nord stream to pipeline, which was also damaged by the explosion and fragments of that pipe. this was clearly a terrorist attack. it is difficult for us to maintain control over this part of the system because it's within the territory of the special economic zone of

denmark, sweden and germany was here. i'm open to look into it all to get more on this. we're going across live to michael maloof. he's a former pentagon senior security policy analyst. thanks for joining us on the program, michael. sure. now, well, russia finally is allowed to examine the explosion site, or it was allowed rather, why do you think sweden and denmark were so slow to let moscow see its own pipeline? well, the 1st impression that that comes to mind is that they may have been involved, or some special forces may have been involved. oh, you cannot rule that out. and it just doesn't make any logical sense for russia to, to damage or destroy its own pipeline. so, and there may be other entities involved and those, those countries may be trying to hide who the real culprit is from the west. that i mean you cannot buy deduction. it had to come from the west,

and i suspect it was either great britain or the united states while putin has called this blast an act of terrorism. so what do you think would be the implications of these countries actually being involved? well, they're never going to admit it, and we probably will never know for sure. i think it's reason why we it would be good for russia to go down and, and check it. it's check and investigate its own on its own and to see if they can find any evidence as to who might have been involved. as i said, it just doesn't make sense for the, you know, before russia to be engaged in this. and it was never the intentions source of supply. but i would imagine was either a special forces group or, and then a terrorist entity favorable to the west that might have been engaged in this on something that russian president vladimir putin said at the,

at the press conference that came after the trilateral talks with the leaders of ours, or by john and or armenia, he mentioned that, you know, russian peacekeepers about how grateful they are, that, that russia is continuing to participate in the piece making pro error. that process is going well it's, it's a very delicate situation, particularly for russia, because it's friendly with both countries. so it, i think the, the moderating effect of russia in this, in this case, it was really essential. plus it appeared that the west might have been trying to create and in that region as well. and i think it was in the interest of moscow to and oversee this thing and get commitment to approach the issue and non violently try to settle whatever disagreements they still have with moscow being

doing the overseen of the peace process. and that's really going to be critical. we just don't need another hotspots at this point. we've got enough going on around the world. just really quick. could you be a little more, a little bit more specific about what you mentioned there about the western powers actually hence. yeah, i think, i think the whole idea is to contain russia and you're going to have elements from, particularly from the united states that will want to cause greater turmoil and uncertainty in that region. get get you have a combination here and of as a budget and armenia going at it, but both the and you have the iranians, who are very much involved with, with our media as, as russia. but russia is also friendly with both countries. so i and i think that if the west can somehow trip up that arrangement,

i think that they. busy will that will be another, it's all to bring on uncertainty and the leadership of moscow are important and, and to create more tensions and an uncertainty surrounding the federation. so i real, nothing out. i don't have direct evidence, but there are indicators that the united states has been been involved, particularly with the by john to create this kind of uncertainty. just one more question here for you, michael. vladimir putin also mentioned that the un brokered grain of it was to get grain to poor countries in need. but he reiterated today vladimir potent that of course it did not accomplish that goal. do you think these wealthy western countries among them, the ones that have going to do anything to change that take the if they want to keep some stability and prevent starvation in the world,

particularly in the developing countries and, and that and also in the middle east and africa, they're going to have to be a little more forthcoming and cooperative and, and allowing this thing, i don't know, even though that the, it has been suspended. i think moscow will resume if they're longer targeted, making get some understanding not to target their scores or, or, or any of the russian worships. that's escorting these vessels with the grain. otherwise it's, it could make things very dire, especially as we're going into the winter time. so this is, this is a very precarious time. and if we're trying to let, if there's an interest by the west lesson pensions, they've got a really start putting the, the pressure on the lindsey to not create new tensions. the from

attacking the this, the ships to creating greater uncertainty in the flow of grain. otherwise, it's gonna be this way, you know, if it, if he, suspense, that will potentially benefit russia because they have grain and fertilizer they want to sell. and that probably far better prices. but i think if we want to break, if we want to prevent any further just secret librium in the entire delicate system economic system around the world, we got to start letting it all get back into harmonization again. so that we can have a little more peacefulness then we're, we're experiencing right now. otherwise it's, it's going to create even greater distresses. so be a cascade in effect. and that's what we want to avoid. i michael maloof, former pentagon senior security policy analyst, always a pleasure having you on the poor girl on the program, the extended thank you. now the russian defense ministry says moscow is not

quitting the ukrainian grain deal, but only suspending it during an earlier un security council. meeting russia said key of recent attacks in the black sea or what put a stop to the agreement on scale also added any movement of ships along the corridor is unacceptable until security guarantees are reached. kim's attack on the black sea fleet puts it into the humanitarian dimension of the assembled agreements . the black sea grain initiative should not be carried out without russia's presence. we are surprised that the un did not condemn cubes attack on the ships of the black sea fleet. moscow requested a un security council meeting on monday, following allegations that the ukrainian drone attack used the maritime grain corridor for cover brushes. defense ministry says the intelligence obtained from the wreckage of the drones shows a path of travel through the length. the lanes originating from the port city of odessa spied western countries sounding the alarm of

a global food crisis over 6000000 tons of ukrainian grain. whence 2 developed countries from august to october of this year. that's while nations facing extreme hunger received just over 1000000 tons of grain and wheat. and of that number less than a 1000000 tons went to the poorest countries in africa. earlier my colleague, you know, neil discussed the grain crisis and recent events that have been shaping the world with the head of the bricks. international forum here in the studio ford security is very important issue for wired. and recently we saw that it was a cd food guys. yes. and you clean and i show is a big lead producer and some other agriculture products, the noise for that and they are supplying too many countries. but during sanctions, this deal is very become very important because in july you do negotiation with

united nation 30, it was decided that the 218 ships will go to the united nations security council. and from there they did. but now this is saying that few couple of days before they don't attack on our ship in premium. so they suspended the dean. and it is saying that the countries are in need. they should take this need. it should not be stored by united nation grounds. so need is important security. so i hope the nation is stake is right, and it should be transferred to the needy countries, plus people who need it the most, get it 1st. yeah. you mentioned that you could asian and african nations know clearly realizing that the importance of her own resources which the west has

wanted for quite some time. i will this realization change international business, the global picture as a whole. just, you know, western countries utilize their natural resources in multiple fords. ok, and now they're having scarcity of the natural resources like we are observing that in london, a nerdy guy because is happening in italy. people are not able to pay the electricity bill. so this kind of crisis i'd happening because they don't have natural resources. so they are depending on other countries like russia and so they to be in countries. so this is very important that this important alliance is need to work in proper shape. and now to the latest news from the ukraine conflict, multiple residential areas across the done yet, the people's republic have come under heavy ukrainian,

showing that's according to local authorities with at least 4 people injured ortiz, roman costs or visited a building that was hit in the center of the capital. how well we are one of the locations right now that was a struck by the ukranian a military. now this is a residential building. you can see that some multiple apartments here have been destroyed, not people. are there work in trying to salvage show their belongings now? according to local authorities, at least as 6 shells from multiple a rocket launch, systems have landed a here in this, a very densely populated area. take a look at these are craters. there are several craters, like this are everywhere. that means that the rocket exploded above ground and created all of these craters. that means, according to the criminalists who are working here a little bit earlier. that said, cluster ammunition could have been used, that cluster munition is designed to inflict maximum damage to infrastructure and

to people as well. now, thankfully, no one was wounded here by the way of this building. this is where my camera man lives or lives up to this point because obviously right now we're going to move away and fly into the another a place to live. perhaps you'll spend this night at my apartment, but there's quite a lot of damage. take a look at this said tree right here. now one sir. the rocket ah landed here. the building was caught on fire. ah, now the fire fighters have already put the blazer out. multiple districts in the nest are still under fire now as we speak. i don't know if you can hear it, but we can hear the sounds of shilling awe from from far away. we're still have a very long evening ahead of us as we are going to pack up our things and move to

a different place. another month, another record annual inflation in europe reached a new. busy all time high in october, nearly 11 percent across the europe, ian block energy is the biggest component of european inflation, but food prices are also rising fast. meanwhile, the european central banks chief said the record breaking increases came out of nowhere, but moscow should shoulder much of the blame. inflation has just pretty much come about from nowhere. we had been fighting deflation and then as a result of very speedy recovery, plus the energy crisis caused by mr. put in, who's decided in an unjustifiable way to invade another country. yes. and to put it, you know, in off kale lost a lot of chaos. yes. yeah, and that's what he's trying to do as well, you know, to cause kills and to destroy as much of europe as he can. no one force the union to sanction its own energy supply. bam. take that. couldn't remember that?

well, it blew up right in their faces. the, you broke up with russia committed, hara kiri, or ukraine by jumping straight off a cliff with the citizenry strapped with back. and this is all such blatant nonsense from la gabbert. it's quite frankly, therapy for someone in her position with her background because long before christine gammon was president of the european central bank. she was french, a connie minister under former french president equinox that was made. so she would have had to look no further than the website of the french central bank default, with which she intimately familiar and which pointed out in october 2021. that inflation had quote, risen sharply from the start of that year. the boat this call a tribute is that inflation, which had already had a 13 year high a year ago to quote tensions between supply and demand. following the reopening of the world economy. in other words, the heavy handedness of european union and world western leaders in micromanaging

everything during the cold crisis. adding out stimulus checks like halloween, candy, it all completely deregulated their economy. now the front central bank also sites quote, energy transition policy. so basically, europe ideological push towards green energy as a factor that would cause the price of high carbon energy like gas and fuel to rise well into the future. again, they said that last year like this now try to absorb western release of any responsibility for their self made crisis by blaming russian president library. and here's how she describes them. and he had this sort of flashing freezing eyes. so that's what i'm saying, that just just terrifying aspect about him. anybody who is behaving in that way has to be driven by evil forces which is terrifying. not quite as terrify

as some of legalities, policies on those of her colleagues, but tries. she might log out is not likely to fool the average citizen who's well aware that their bills went off along before the conflict in ukraine. and they still keep rising with inflation now at 10.7 percent across the u. so here are some folks from palermo, italy explaining how they're coping. they don't put a sub billing though money if you leave the house with one price and return the next day and it's another every day changes. so you go shopping with a plan and end up with you or i, tim, thing you expect it. i only buy the necessities serrano but it, everything seems strange to me when i see the exponential increase in prices. i realize that transport costs have risen. and as a result, prices have risen, but not to such an extent, in my opinion. you know, a lot of the blue light gas and spending all rise day by day. is there anyone who can live on the minimum pension as it is? how do you keep going like this? miss, you wonder? la garza and her colleagues,

even here these people. brussels engineered this, this crisis and just keeps tinkering with it. she had interest rates 3 quarters of a percentage point yet again last week in an effort to break inflation. and that despite some block opposition concerned about the impact on growth. as long as the e. u is blindly willing to keep doing whatever the us wants, washington's own interests, 1st and foremost, well it's citizens are destined to suffer while they're elite. just keep trying to shift the blame. it looks like author and ceo of the glacier environmental fund, mitchell fair steam gave us his take on what lies behind the crisis. you know, this goes back to to, oh, geo, geo economics and geo politics. so what's going on in europe? it's this is control of the year, your asian land mass. so basically the united states is going to suffocate europe and they're going to pay much higher energy prices and they're going to have to come to the u. s. to get their energy,

the people right now are very upset about it. you're seeing protests throughout different countries in europe, in the streets every weekend, and it's only going to get worse because the prices are gonna go higher this winter . it's going to be a winter of discontent across europe, the u. k. and in the united states, because prices have to go higher on everything. inflation is going to go higher. so the politicians need to go. we need to get politicians that listen to the people. and take care of the people and bring back businesses so that instead of build back better, how about if we bring back business and we work on doing what the people say rather than doing what the leaders or rulers want. china is warning of a potential arms race after an australian t. v. investigation revealed us plans to deploy up to 6 nuclear capable. b, 52 bombers and northern australia. the relevant us behaviors have increased regional tensions seriously undermined regional peace and stability,

and may trigger and arms race in the region. investigation by australia's abc television claims washington plans to housed the bombers at the tyndall air base south of darwin, the capital city of the northern territory. it said that the project will cost upwards of $100000000.00 and all the work due to be completed. by the end of 2026. we asked for comment on the reports about the deployment of these b, $52.00 bombers from the pentagon, as well as from the australian defense ministry, of course will bring you a response if we do get one. meanwhile, in a separate military development, japan says it's considering increasing the range of its new high speed missiles, which is still under development beyond 1000 kilometers. government sources say that it's in order to better defend its remote islands, but the move would put the coastal areas of china and north korea within range. the director of the center for counter had demonic studies. him anderson says

people in australia are concerned. a conflict between the u. s. and china could break out. it's really a terrible ah development, which is scaring a lot of people who started no matter what they political persuasion. because they know that china, which is non threatening to australia and which is a straight as largest trading partner, has been for some time it's an impossible task to step into a conflict with a power that big and for no real reason. and unfortunately, it's being done simply because of the dependence of successive governments in australia, on the, their role to play a supporting role to the us, which the u. s. as in launched itself on to this aggression against china because of extreme jealousy. it seemed so unfortunately, ad dependent politics is really creating a huge dilemma in here at the moment the china is clearly going to defend itself. it's going to defend including the what you might call an unincorporated terror

korean taiwan, which had been a stable relationship. that is called rather stable most of the people and tie one like the status quo. but the us seems determined to provoke a conflict, and it's going to force china to defend itself in this going to really the threat is that the tie one is going to be used, like se, the new crime as a, as a way to try and provoke a conflict with john or in the us will try and use it to weaken china in some way. but it's, it's a terrible danger. she may have been out of downing street for about a week now, but liz trust is certainly not out of the headlines. the former u. k. prime minister has found herself embroiled in another scandal. several british media outlets have reported that her phone was hacked when she was serving as the foreign secretary under boris johnson. it's claims that she had to change her personal phone number when she became pm because it was compromised. daily

mailed source even claims that the phone had to be placed in a locked safe inside a secure government location. and the messages obtained by the hackers reportedly included trust in discussions with senior international foreign ministers about the war and ukraine. or many other details of the hack remain unclear. it's already been blamed on russia by the media was trust became the shortest serving british premier in history. after she resigned from the post just 44 days into the job. journalist option rotten z outlined more details and the story i should say the british government in response to lee newspaper report enough, i can't rather me as a daily mail newspaper already opposition. m p. 's asking, why was it leak to the daily mail at this particular time? when within the story, it says, it was covered up by senior civil service and former disgraced prime minister boris

johnson. british government says you the u. k. as robust systems in place to protect against cyber threats, including regular security briefings, but ministers. this comes as the follow up to the story suggesting that less trust was using an unsecure line. and i found some would sympathize with a given as i say, the g. c. h q phones apparently rubbish. and she likes to instagram a lot of varies a bombshell. speculation about kim dot com, the legendary security analyst, who has a 1000000 followers on twitter, who claims that it was not a phone that was active reserve being backed up on to the icloud, and there are suggestions completely unconfirmed. i've tried to reach out to him for further confirmation that she texted or messaged anthony blink and joe biden, sound hapless. and secretary of state saying it's done shortly after the worst environmental catastrophe of the century. the terror attack on the north st pipeline,

supplying energy to much needed energy to germany. that's the news for this. our stick around for more in just about 30 minutes here on our to internet. ah. ah. with

ah, ah ah . ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i am peter about. so does a lot of mir putin see his country's place in the world. at the recent meeting of the bow tie discussion group, he did is much and much more. he critique the west in its meal liberal ideology,

and he made it clear. no one can sit out the coming storm facing the international system. ah, to discuss these issues and more on joined by my guess martin j and mera cash. he's an award winning journalist, and commentator, and in budapest we have george samuel lee. he's a podcast at the gaggle which can be found on youtube and the locals. are gentlemen cross up rules in effect, that means you can jump any time you want. and i would appreciate take care to start out with you in budapest, year before we talk about what bottom putin had to say at the annual ball di discussion group. i was just thinking as we started here, is it so much is commented upon what, who has never said, and very little is commented on what he actually says here. so that's my segue into his commentary. was very interesting commentary on the west in its ideology, neoliberalism, and i think was also kind of

a sermon on how the west is betrayed the enlightenment. yeah, you're absolutely right, pizza, because the way the media presented bruton speech was entirely a incorrect and misleading because he liked the way it was me to say, oh, put in 1st throw down the gauntlet of the way.
