military positions. this time in bon bass. i, japan's largest power supplier considering jacking up electricity rates for households for the 1st time in a decade as the global energy crisis slides down with . we are continuing on breaking news coverage or ality international top story now remains that of an assassination attempt. the former pakistan prime minister in iran con, has been shot in the leg during a protest march. he was leading to the country's capital islam about report say he is receiving treatment in hospital and the identity of the gunman who was arrested by police at the scene. it was not immediately clear right now as we understand no one's claim responsibility for the attack. though khan had been leading a protest march to the capital with

a demand for snap elections and footage on local media, show the 17 year old with a bad. it's like moving from his truck to another vehicle with the help of his security team. now, a prominent pakistani senator was also caught in a gunfire. a cons manager along the side with a former governor will rule, so hit bring the total number of injured to 7 of the countries. our current prime minister issued a statement condemning the incident and calling for an immediate investigation that we heard from witnesses at the march. i was standing just behind emron hahn when a gunman appeared on left and opened straight fire on him. one bullet hit his leg, people protected him by covering him. i was standing beside my leader in ron han on this truck at the front when a man attacked him. a bullet hit his leg, but fortunately he is safe. however, the attacker tried his best to kill him. we love hon and pray for him. and which has been enforced by this government is doing pressing the red line,

a literally learning in the sense that i've seen a long my former prime this long and i are, this is sandra city. there was a gun man who's on that is high. there are people who are covering and for me for laser and woodland in, in room on cons, left leg room and then you mother will do the ambulance and for all members was or not the organizers it that im on become back on that dealer. done this morning and he's not going to leave this blaze our way we are renting now. all right, let's get some analysis and learn more with our journalists option retention areas, drawing us a life during this break in coverage on auto international. very well. welcome to you option. always good to see you. first off the top of your head a you were you surprised by this attack?

well, it's long been mooted that he was in danger. and deborah and con famously said that he wouldn't get heightened security body guards and so forth saying it's after a law to protect him. how ironic the day, what in the past few hours the, the actual, some would say washing to back coolie there at the actual prime minister of pakistan. no, shall sharif. he's engaging in there. she didn't being told him, are deeply concerned about the security of chinese people in pakistan. well, i think the whole world is now concerned about the security of the former prime minister of pakistan. and i, there are lots of sketchy details. i'll just give you one absolute truth and that is washington did not like him run con joe biden chose not to call him when he found almost every other world leader and antony blinking is on the record for saying that the brown car is a taliban. the guide,

prime minister before the washington back to a defacto who am what is absolutely true is that washington have practiced assassinations entered in part resignation attempts on leaders of the global south for decades. mike pompeo, we've all met the cia was only in the past 24 hours, growing on murdock smocks news, how the americans killed iranian official that got some silly money. so we know about assassinations and the records. we know that the united states did not like iran gone, and we also, according to our russian senator, a, b, a defense committee member saying ukraine in pakistan recently discussed technologies to develop nuclear weapons. apparently are now pakistan the washington back government. asking for clarification as to why moscow was perhaps implying that the or that they dirty bomb they were alleged was going to be used by

ukraine. could be with pakistani links host, im ron cotton. but guess moneylink option when it comes to this apparent to assassination attempt on enron con, the former packet on your prime minister. when you talk about external plays, for example, it was back in april that the pakistani government suddenly to unveiled a vote of no confidence in the con leadership. and con, did say there are external players who are involved in this, not just before i spoke to you, i should, i was speaking to a peck on the analyst. you said that the fascination attempt was bound to happen. he said it should be a wake up call for him, ron kon. but did you think this might force content to rethink almighty just emboldened him and his supporters? well, it may not be covered in nature. nation censored media, but the kind of crowds he's been getting for his tour across pakistan. the nuclear bug is that any state has be more massive than ever. and even his detractors must agree that he is the most popular politician. and he would win an election from

which of course he's been a bod, according to recent court decisions. no, it's not the gun tribute or lesson. it's a mystery, a democracy. what, in fact, a lesson may be, is that this was either a warning or washington and those forces, even indian television talks about the force is the discrete power hitting power of a wants to get rid of him. and why is focused on changing costs because he called me about economics that joe biden chose not to call him these guns. brody, neo liberal markets economics reduce the deficit, leaving the financial markets. what is it really about? is it because of the shang, like what ration organization to which magazine was admitted in 2017 in it because he was in moscow the day that we put in the russian government chose to finally

protect the people have done best option. and more on con, is complain about external forces at play outside play. it's getting involved as perhaps you're alluding to there and in the politics of pakistan. but think back to 2000 and step. and i know you remember the story. the moment you heard about this is austin nation. it's much like me. i'm sure you thought of benefit bhutto before my pakistan prime minister. and we're excited about 7 or 8 years trying to return to power and ended up being assassinated during a protest demonstration rally. you think with ben as a boucher as well there may be an external factors that play yeah, i was with her showing the actually before he left london for this as a nation, many of the people close to was telling her not to go back to pakistan and i've actually asked him and gone in an interview about his peers. he doesn't seem worry about, it's a tool in there, but his case the fact is going to be markedly different. she was broadly following a washington bar, and of course geo politics were a little bit more relaxed. i mean, so far, even after the war,

cotton supporters call the washington back. who in islam a bad, the way in saudi arabia stepped in to help pay off the washington based guy, m f debt off target and, and to china, as i say, is currently hosting the well water run guns back as we call the qu, leader, or nice goofing ahead. does she does sharif the prime minister is in beijing. who are these forces? we've got to remember the geopolitical, the geographical location of pakistan, the fact that as nuclear weapons, the fact that the i s i was, was so powerful arguably it was more bible than the ca at one point. as the united states funded the budget dean, i was always surprised how soon after $911.00, the melinda would be invited on the military, mainstream television to talk about $911.00 and the majority, and of course

a summer been lobby. what we do know is that the united states continues to accuse him run con of being part of the taliban. the united states lost control of, i've chemist on it, lost control of was last wades of global south. the attempts on iran comes live by . anyone who supports the current administration, it's a matter of time arguably that the people up i guess on we'll get together. you know, i'm against fox bobs and those television the antics but anywhere into by the massive buckets on the community here in dubai. we send all important reminiscences from salaries back from the you a, it's about your son. the popularity of iran con is massive, and of course, he's known all around the world. he was that british brick. and if indeed, the records are true that his foot or his leg are injured, you know,

maybe even britain will talk about the crickets in the context of what a tragedy this is. regardless of the fact that he or nor his 4 to 5 the aides, as, as we speak now, a reported to have survived journalist action returns or bringing in all the angles and particularly the sensitive ones to that you just won't hear on the mainstream media. but appreciate you joining us here for the break and use coverage on the international will see us in the. all right, now let's get to some of the later developments from don bass, where ukrainian artillery has struck the center of the next city. again, it's thursday morning 3 people again confirmed by local officials. so i show you some of the latest footage we've got from the scene where one of the shells lathered near a bus. you can see it take some damage with passengers on board being hit by deborah shrapnel glass. let's get this report now from our correspondence his roman culture ref ukranian nationalists continued shelling residential areas of the nest

. this time this struck the center of the city once again. there is not a single military position around here, but plenty of hospitals and shops. now, this bus was frog. this is where 3 people were wounded. he can see the blood, his still on the ground. now the victims are now in a nearby hospital where another shell had at landed as for the bus itself. well, not a single window is intact. now this is a where shell fragments struck the passenger bus. he then preceded on another 2025 meters just rolled on, but the point of impact itself was in this apartment building. as you can see, the cars are also without windows, so that means a shell. fragments are absolutely everywhere. now this is one of the busiest streets internet cost right in the center of the city. there's quite a lot of for transportation routes. now there are quite

a lot of shops and as i said, there are hospitals here as well. schools and kindergarten, so absolutely purely at residential area. now, according to the criminalists who are working on the scene, ukrainian nationalists might have used to cluster munitions, which is designed to inflict as much damage as possible. now they're saying that this could have been a 152 millimeter caliber weapon. this strike by ukrainian artillery took place just after it's an a m, right after this store opened its doors for customers. now the fragments of the shelf flew absolutely everywhere. take a look at these holes in the walls. i miraculously no one was killed in this and sack. however, the owner of the store said that sir, agnes of the shell hit his clothes and this is his account of what had happened.

buick looked what's available. we were in the store, the 1st shall hit the building itself. and then there were 4 more explosions near by. the fragments flew towards us. you can see them everywhere. it pierced through everything while we were running a piece of shrapnel hit my jacket. it's a miracle i survived. thankfully, no one was killed in this particular instance, free people are now in the hospitals being treated for their wounds. however, over the last 24 hours, at least 3 civilians had been killed in the nest people's republic, and multiple were wounded by ukrainian artillery, shelling, roman called for of archie dun escrow public. meanwhile, in the hudson region, officials, their se ukrainian forces of tact and administrative building of the city of a galleria pressed on. and no one was wounded despite the damage inflicted. meanwhile, a team of italian journalist examining positions, excuse me, abandoned by that of ukrainian military forces and bon bass. they say they've,

i'm covet pieces of neo nazi paraphernalia. this is some of what was found in the don't yet can look on to public's a saw sticker in the middle of an unofficial ukrainian battle flag or of banner of the notorious as of battalion with its f, a neo nazi, wolf's hook emblem, a greek and austrian flags were also left scattered among the former ukrainian positions as well now extremist battalions, particularly i dod and as offer officially upon the ukrainian military. the un has previously accused such groups of committing torture and rape during the past 8 years of thorn bass, conflict, italian journalists, vittorio ranch alone. he says that western media outlets have been glossing over neo nazi forces because, well, is an inconvenient truth to the mainstream narrative against russia. he may have g state channels and newspapers are trying to justify ukrainian ultra nationalists and nazis. for example, in mar, you pull, they called the members of the age of battalion, new partisans and anti fascists. turning

a blind eye to all their nazi symbolism and essentially justifying their actions the world has tried to whitewash such movements as i dar and the ease off regiment . the public knows very little about the situation that has been going on in the dawn bass for the past 8 years. they don't even know the thousands of people have died there since 2014. the real aggression when ukrainian army sought to suppress its own population and the dog bass has been hidden all this time. i believe that there should not be western propaganda seeking to hide the truth with their rhetoric about anti fascism in europe. ukraine is something quite expendable in this western lead anti russian game. few people in the west care about the fate of hundreds of thousands of ukrainians sent to be torn into pieces. the war is against the don bass against russia. that is the ultimate goal. so good to have you with us today. so japan's largest pound provider is considering jacking up regulate electricity rates for household. it'll be the 1st time in

a decade. surging fuel prices in a week, a yen weigh heavily on us business. the companies posted a loss of almost $1000000000.00 us dollars up to september this year. all of japan's 10 major power providers of raise their rates as much as they're allowed to and the government regulation with all but one of them reporting net losses in the past 6 months. it does follow western sanctions imposed on russian energy resources . now to tell you some more figures that highlight the issue, for example, japan's consumer inflation rate 8 year highs. the cost of power is up more than 20 percent gas prices through the roof. and the cost for other basic necessities also increasing significantly as well. this week, japanese government officials and oil executives explained that the country needed a russian energy to meet demands and thus decided to retain a 30 percent stake in the major russian oil and gas project known as the lean one.

unlike europe or the us, japan depends on overseas suppliers for almost all of its energy needs. so it's not possible to cut off ties with russia because of the sanctions. in reality, we cannot survive unless we continue to import from russia, even if the volumes are smaller. he was speaking earlier to an expert called tomo could, could she who says japan is looking at tough times ahead. let's assume that japanese citizens comes 1st and it's it or girl on it's, it's allies that you know, the lifeline of people. and so the bands on in energy import your oil and gas prices are as well as it is. the price is in japan. i hear you subsidized and i think the government also announced it on you, and it's a subsidies to keep the cost for household not too high. but i think having said that, a significant increase in price is inevitable in around 8 percent

of oil and gas import of japan comes from russia. so if the continue, if the shade and continues, it's going to be a significant cost. and a new saleem project include it, it was an empty or so for japan to diversify its energy sources. and japan is heavily dependent on oil in board from the middle east and rachelle as an additional source. her option for japan, especially after that was shima. a cray says, i saw at the stake is quite high for japan, add to the main inertia her. however, if the straight and continues, i think demand might be are increasing the under pressure from it's going to stand allies how to deal with russia. the german chancellor of

schultz is on his way to china in a bit too smooth, over increasingly fraught relations between western professional partners and a beijing. china remains an important business and trading partner for germany in europe. we don't want to decouple from it. this is a great deal of material for an inaugural visit to beijing. we will see co operation where it lies in our mutual interest. but we will not ignore controversies either for that is part and parcel of a candid exchange between germany and china. with the shawl, so will be the 1st european politician to visit beijing since 2019. but it comes as europe's face pressure from the united states to actually take a tougher line against china. as always, with her take on the story, auto contributor. rachel must says over in china, proclaiming the importance of trade with beijing as a german economy suffers from the sanctioning its own gases life in russia. but the same time just published that off ed warning against over reliance on china. so it

looks like he's trying to keep business going with both china and with washington. exactly the same time. good luck with that. because washington is on a full court press to convince its allies to isolate china. american officials are heading to the netherlands next week to talk about blocking the sale of micro chip making components to china. japan is also under pressure to fall in line with new u. s. export controls targeting china, and those chinese made microchips. here's a former us official spinning this strong army as a wonderful opportunity the allies just couldn't possibly pass up. i expect addressing the common concern about china, then that creates an opportunity for the japan in the u. s. government to reduce barriers on trade between japan in the united states. this will actually result in even better cooperation between japan and the united states and fewer restrictions on joint development and production of advanced note items. so there's the carrot, but watch of the stick. it may be western ally should asked

b u k. how that promised host breads. us trade deal, kara is coming along is by even half the new prime minister's name right yet. meanwhile, canada is a national security to dump chinese states and 3 lithium mines. candice foreign affairs minister foss, wife sheep shop pena said the country welcomes foreign direct investment, but not when it threatens, quote critical minerals supply chains, which is exactly the kind of friends shoring. reducing supply chain participation to allies only the washington conjured up and announced over the summer with the implication that countries are either on t, washington or there with russia and china. so, you know, pick aside saying national security gain, economics or primacy. basically, last must china secure to stake in the court of hamburg in germany. now, an american state department official is bragging to the western grass that the share was reduced from 35 percent to 25 percent due to pressure from the american

embassy in germany. the embassy was very clear that we strongly suggested that there'd be no controlling interest by china. and as you see, when they adjusted the deal, there isn't, though, so it's is over there in beijing meeting with the chinese. and meanwhile, we have this kind of wizard revised behind the curtain here. a subtle hints from that u. s. official as didn't was running to show you as allies in asia must be getting a bit nervous, particularly singapore, which just signed a bunch of deals with china. often member states including hobby ceasing hall, one to maintain good relations with both the u. s. and pacing is for both the us and china to f overlapping circles of france. we are not interested in dividing, likes in asia, don't make us juice. we will refuse to choose well display being on the other side of the planet from washington. it looks like the countries in china is on

backyard. like singapore. there could be the next ones to get a knock on the door from team america, world police shifting gears to israel. now when more than 90 percent of ballots have been counted in national elections. former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is on the brink of coming back to leave the country again. is code ocean block is set to win 65 out of a 120 seats in parliament. now despite the final results, not yet announced nathan. yeah, i already seems to be basking in his rise to the top. have a look. oh, thank you very much. i am not a king. i have to be elected and i will be elected thanks to you. however, the former prime minister will be dependent on support from his right wing block allies. some of them are religious parties which have work to keep control of israel's religious establishment. and his main ally is the right wing of religious zionism party which gained 14 seats. and this is set to make the upcoming government the most right wing in israel,

history and the leader of that party. while there are a couple of facts about him, he was accused of a lavishing praise on a jewish terror to a massacre. 29 palestinians, and a mosque in 1994. he also has been convicted of inciting racism and blame for using anti our rhetoric and advocating the deportation of disloyal civilians. as we understand the age of 16, he joined a terror organization which is band and israel. well, it's one of his latest stipends medlock seemed i thought the heard, i'm glad if we want to make a total separation between those who are loyal to the state of israel and we don't have any problem with them. and those who undermine our dear country, the public wishes for leadership that will protect the land of israel, that will protect our capital, jerusalem, and will settle judea and samaria. the public voted today for jewish identity to personal. i'm concerned for what's gonna happen here in israel, about israel's democracy. i'm about the influence of the hurry,

the parties over israel, about the racism of been 0. now tanya will do whatever he needs to do to be able to gain power. and if that means that he has to include the parties in the government, and these people give a ministerial portfolio to denver, that he'll do it in order to be able to main power making out into form the coalition in the wrong. i didn't vote for the natania camp. i found that they were disloyal opposition during the previous government. however, to our bodies are expected to enter the concert when some lawmakers look into oppose the right wing block. some believe it could make israeli palestinian relations even worse than they are now. so we heard from some people on the streets of gossip. fabi i get done. they will seize and expel the people from the west bank and they will control jerusalem before this is the israeli state, the basis of its formation in existence. while we are still divided without even knowing why. who and about talker than the mage in athens. i believe that nathan,

yahoo will come like a wounded wolf and he will work to strengthen the popular, based on by exercise a more extremism at intolerance against our people and more support was settlements, land sieges, and confiscation are as well as carrying out more painful and barbaric invasion, alyssa discusses more on crossing life to tell if even journalist i'm here or in joining us here an art he international. a very welcome to you. so always great to see you. so b, b 's back again. it's almost like he's a politician with more than 9 lives, isn't he? yeah, are you surprised amir? well, he is a master politician. there's no doubt about that. he organized the right wing, while the other side, always roughly the same power in the electorate, was disorganized. 6 disjointed and couldn't bring most of it supporters to the polls and some of them got their heads bumped into

the electoral threshold. so yes, then you will be able to form a government. but as you mentioned in your report about our bank here, he will now be totally dependent on someone who doesn't care for him who would want to inherit. he's a prime minister, she and who can control the faith of the coalition. or is it a state of convenient bedfellows or perhaps inconvenient bedfellow? say this design isn't party got got you know, some big numbers here despite his background. you're saying that netanyahu was, i was able to kind of walk you late them together to, to improve his dance. well, there are several ironies involved next time, you know, initially here that the bank beer will not cross that threshold. so we went into a lot of effort to present a joint leased by bank beer and he's rival to park there,

smoked rich, but they got much more than you know, for. and even though bank the controls roughly half of that. so that would come to about 7. see if nathan. yeah. own a victory depends on for 2 fight seats. that means that bent can dictate whatever he wants regarding, for instance, the internal of security for all your or even more. and then, you know, refuses bang theory can deny you support and bring about your election. i mean, what are your expectations? are we looking at new policies here? or is it a re run of some of the old policies that we know israel's future domestically internationally? are you expecting big new things? well, nathaniel does not care about the international arena or national security. the

only thing he is interested in is finding a way to a box. he's trial the standing trial on the throat reach of thrust, and especially bribery. he's in serious danger of being convicted and sent to prison in order to avert this disaster. he needs the coalition, which will change the rules of the game, will strike some laws from the books. and i have at least part of he's a trial and now and because of that he will pay any price to any coalition. that's quite astonishing to hear that america. and i'm not, i'm not doubting what you're saying at all but, but part of it will be coming back to power is also in a way, in a sense for him to protect himself away from this trial of corruption charges and so on and so forth. you said.
