place. our way of we are renting all talked a lot more now during this breaking news coverage or not, he international varies lieutenant general tele, must suit a retired 3 star army general in pakistan. joining us live here when ality international very will welcome in a very good evening to usa, just off the top of your head a. are you surprised by this assassination attempt against the former pakistan prime minister enron con? not really because you know, and he was receiving that night and he felt that been saying that in a public meeting that had been receiving these heads and read writing him and gave the security his own security as well. it could be that you are in a nursing home and you mentioned in one of each it that i've been one, i'm not you know them,

i will be with my people and i will need this kind of so you're not surprised and this is fascination attempt so i was speaking to an analyst a bit earlier in the program, who said this was bound to happen. it should be a wake up call for him. ron con. you think it could be a wake up call? you think he might now change his plans? this certainly i think it is, you know, it is very wise to do that because it does mean possible to have the security then how the people are following you. and you will not know what i think that is in writing. and then what will be holding it in, i mean, and i think that there is nothing then, you know, you know, and i will, it was like one of you, you know,

in any that was this. is it possible because it was back in april of this year that the prime minister cons government at the time is sued all of a sudden a vote of no confidence he was essentially booted out. he's been trying to claw his way back ever since at the time of the vote of no confidence in ron kong blamed it on external players getting involved with domestic politics. whether that's true or not, is it possible that this, this assassination attempt could have some sort of link to any external players? or is it just a domestically home grown incident? it could be very good to say that, but i think in all the domestic i don't was that it's very limited because you know, you in particular that you want. but really, you know,

and us that in that was more we will getting not just the one who gave you, he's not like it's fine. you can stand up even power. and i would say that i don't think that any external loss with that in more than most probably it has been know, and maybe they've never had an end of the machine that you know or intelligent. that one cannot say this, but i think it must be. and then what do you think is the general. busy reaction among iran, cons supporters are they? are they now even more confident and more emboldened than ever? well, i think good. they are in a state of shock in a way, and i don't think they have formulated any policy as yet. they would themselves be very careful because then you know,

colleagues about 4 of them that so i think it is not that easy and i think the life is definitely in danger if they continue like this and because they're exposed and there are. and if you want it, you know, it's easy and there are, it's in the course and that, but we do that and i think finding this is the which you did. but i would do that at this point. it could be very did as well. no, i mentioned to this or lieutenant general collab must suit a retired 3 to army general. thank you so much for your insight into this matter. we appreciate your joining us during this breaking news. thank you. let's get some the latest relevance from don bass while ukrainian artillery has again struck the

center of the next city this thursday, wounding. at least 3. feel that it's confirmed by local officials. i should say, some of the latest footage we've got from the scene where one of the shells landed near a bus, we can see some of the debris there. also some of the blood as well as passengers on board were hit by shrapnel and shattered glass. let's get this report now from the scene his romance caused us 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 is 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 where shell fragments struck the passenger

bus. he then proceeded on another 20 to 25 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 in damascus 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 a hospitals here as well. schools and kindergarten. so absolutely a purely at residential area. now according to the criminalists who are working on the scene, ukrainian nationalists might have used a 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 10 am 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 at zack. however, the owner of the store said that sir, magnets 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 shell hit the building itself, and then there were 4 more explosions nearby. 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 have been killed in the nest people's republic,

and multiple were wounded by ukrainian artillery shelling room on call for have archie dun escrow public. meanwhile, in the hudson region, officials, the se ukrainian falls is attacked, an administrative building of the city of ug ally a prison. as we understand, no one was wounded despite the damage inflicted we, while a team of italian journalists examining positions abandoned by ukrainian military forces and don bass. say that they've uncovered pieces of neo nazi paraphernalia. this is some of what those found in on yet can look on the rock leaks there, a swastika in the middle of an unofficial ukrainian battle flag and a banner of the notorious as of battalion with its a neo nazi wolf's hook emblem. if you choose to, the greek and austrian fives were also left scattered among that of the former ukrainian positions now extremist battalions, particularly i the r and as off are officially part of the ukrainian military. the u. n. has previously accused such groups of committing torture and rape during the

past 8 years of a don bass conflict. italian journalist, vittorio de angelo, and he says that western media outlets have been glossing over neo nazi forces because, well, there an inconvenient truth in the face of 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 justify 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 that thousands of people have died there since 2014. the real aggression when ukrainian army sought to suppress its own population in the dawn 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 expandable 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 ultimate goal. well thanks for joining us for the program. so far. japan's largest power provider is considering jacking up regulated electricity rates for households. this will be the 1st time in a decade as surging fuel prices in a week. a yet weigh heavily on its business. the company posted a loss of almost $1000000000.00 us dollars up to september. this year, all of japan's 10 major power providers have raise their rates as much as they're allowed to one, the government regulation. with all that, one of them reporting net losses in the past 6 months. of course it follows western sanctions imposed on russian energy resources. now. so show you some more figures

highlighting the issue. for example, look at this right here. japan's consumer inflation rate 8 year highs. the cost of electricity more than $20.00 present in the way of upwards gas price is also through the roof and the cost for other basic necessities yup. significantly on the rise as well. or this week, japanese government officials and oil executives explained that the country needed russian energy to meet demands and thus decided to retain a 30 percent stake in the major russian oil and gas project known as sahalina 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. earlier today in the program, we just need to export to market coaching, who says whether you like it or not. japan is looking at tough times on the horizon

. let's what should the 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 prices in japan. i hear you subsidized and i think the government also announced it on you and increase the subsidies to keep the cost for household not too high. but i think having said that, a significant increase in price is inevitable, and around 8 percent are boyland gas in board. of japan comes from russia, they've to continue if the street and continues. it's going to be a significant cost. and a new saleem project included him as an empty or so for japan to diversify its

energy sources. and japan is heavily dependent on oil in bought from the middle east and rachelle as an additional source. her option for japan, especially after that with shima. a cray says, i saw at the stake is quite high there for japan and to remain in russia or however, if the strange and continues, i think demand might be, are increasingly under pressure from it's when it's done allies. how to deal with russia. the german chancellor, olaf schoultz is on his way to china. it's been a bit too smooth over should we say, or increasingly fraught relations between certain professional partners in the west and beijing. china remains an important business in 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. or sholtes will be the 1st european politician to visit beijing since 2019. with us commas, europe's face pressure from the united states to a take that of a tougher line against china, as always, with our thoughts and opinion on how take on the story. artie contributor ritual boston most is over in china, proclaiming the importance of trade with asia as the german economy suffers from the sanctioning its own gas supply from 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 u. s. 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's to reduce barriers on trade between japan in the united states. this will actually result in even better cooperation between japan in the united states and fewer restrictions on joint development and production of advanced node items. so there's the carrot, but watch out the stick. it may be western ally should asked b u k. how that promised host breads us tray deal care 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, housewife sheep, shall pena said the country wilkins 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, 2 hours 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, economic supremacy. basically. last month. 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 it was running the show

u. s. allies in asia must be getting a bit nervous, particularly singapore. i was just signed a bunch of deals with china, ashen member states, including i'll be ceasing of hall, want 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 choose. 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. it's a big story for you right now. here were naughty international of moscow, such as extremely disappointed that the un security council has rejected its coal for an investigation into claims. the u. s. has used laboratories in ukraine to

develop biological weapons. but news was announced by russia's deputy envoy to the you. and after the resolution was not adopted by member states, russia didn't get the vote needed to pass the resolution. in fact, 3 of the counsels permanent members, the u. s. frauds on britain old voted against guns, all tend to rotating council members, abstain. i, china backed russia's proposal with beige things representative stressing the issue should be given full attention from the global community to him. so she wouldn't tell you knew though, is that russia has repeatedly made allegations that the un security council that the united states, the suspected of conducting bio military activities and ukraine, china is gravely concerned. we believe that any evidence of clues related to compliance with the convention should receive full attention from the international community and deserve thorough and to the point responses and clarifications by the

party concerned. what we just got to learn more about this right now. of course in life, dimitri polly and sky, russia, deputy envoy to the united nations, joining us live from new york, a very good afternoon to use or it's about 11 22 am where you are now on thursday in the big awful, appreciate you joining us here you've heard, you've heard me going over the story. i wouldn't be surprised if you are either in a state of shock orders, extreme disappointment. these are allegations mr. polanski, of bio labs being run by the united states in ukraine amid the biggest war in europe in decades. and yet the investigation has been blocked. how is that possible? well, nowadays everything is possible. we're in fact very much disappointed and we are quite disappointed right now. not because of the fact that the resolution was not adopted and we didn't get the necessary number of worlds. and because of the fact that this happened in total breach to the international law,

we did everything we should in the framework of logical weapons convention. it's not something that we have fantasies in this regard. it's not our imagination. we repeatedly flag this issue in the security council. we said that we have very serious concerns. we have quite a considerable number of roofs that indicates that the cooperation between the ukranian authorities. ready and pentagon, in military biological here is the very dangerous for russia. it is reaching the biological weapons convention. and after several attempts to raise this issue in the security council, we faced very condescending position from the parts of the united states and its allies. saying that this is all russian for up. again, the thrust is trying to deflect attention on the security council from its operation ukraine. this is

a usual tactics of our former with partners when they don't like something that's we bring up somewhere in the international organizational i get all the plans. i'm just going to ask you that. sorry to jump in. but if this is on all silly russian propaganda then, why would the u. s. u k, and france block the resolution? if there's nothing to see here, why would you block it? it's a legitimate question. they blocked it because they are afraid of an investigation . we filed a complaint in the security council, and this is not a simple letter of 2 pages. this is a letter with the attachment of more than 300 pages of proofs of information. that's where we see clarification from us and agreeing and that storage is and again, it was done in accordance with the relevant articles of the biological weapons convention. so we acted totally in line with international law. and i indicated during this meeting that we were disappointed that the united states and its allies preferred to travel on international law. they are just fighting international law

when they need it. when there is something hooking that can be dangerous for them within the frame of international law, they prefer to label that russian propaganda started simple and it's very disappoint. i think you make a very good point that mr. polanski, when it comes to, you know, russia's been playing by the rules here. russia been darting its eyes, crossing its t z and, and essentially going by international law. but when it comes to the rules based order, it seems the rules base order operates according to its own rules. mister polanski, it's a real shame, frankly, for from a personal standpoint, it's a shame to see the un behaving this way. why did so many abstain mr. polanski and only china was back in the investigation. in fact, the chinese representative said the world needs to know about this. well, we know what kind of pressure our colleagues insecurity, council face from united states and its allies. not only in general assembly about security council also is on the arena for these kind of pressure. so i'm quite sure that our colleagues from e 10,

unfortunately couldn't leave up to the expectations of pursuing a totally independent line and presenting their own use in the in this question. this is also very disappointing. i'm. i'm very much grateful to our chinese colleagues. they displayed, displayed bravery, disregard, and i think that was the right thing to do because they are also very concerned as for the others. well, i don't want to go personal about, of course they could have been more principals in these regards. i remember, for example, representative of mexico at some early stages saying that, ok, you have some kind of concerns. thank you. patients. so frame, it's within the, within the international law, there is biological weapons convention. there are mechanisms pleased in that to this mechanism. so what we actively smoke and now the representative of mexico is

saying, well, we don't think that the, the, these proves that you have a credible, but it's up to the commission to decide whether they are credible or not credible. it's not up to a certain number of countries to say, we don't think that they're credible. this is, you know, this is lovable and this is, of course, a parody to normal process. and, well, it was the 1st time when these provisions are biological conventions where inactive and i don't think it was a very good starts, frankly, or you call it laughable. and clearly it's also profoundly disturbing as well. mister polanski, i mean they're, they're legitimate concerns. i mean, look, this is, these are concerns of biological weapons, laboratories, biological operators in ukraine, defacto in a war zone. i mean, think back to those that put all, tell me a plan that, you know, that's been an issue for months now. russia secured it on march, the 7th of march, the 10th with 500 soldiers, they been protecting that energy planned amid ukrainian shelling the western press says russia is showing that plot. why would russia show its own soldiers?

the 500 soldiers who have been guarding that plot here we have the un, essentially blocking an investigation into biological potential, biological weapons, laboratories that are currently standing there in a wall zone. shouldn't the world, mister ambassador, i shouldn't the entire world be on this story. be the gentlemanly concerned you know what, i receive a lot of letters and i received a lot of letters of support from american citizens from british citizens. they really are writing that they are ashamed of their government. so they are present the chief so they understand clearly what's happening right now did these very clear erosion often of international law of annual legality when they were saying that, well, this is only peaceful, peaceful cooperation. you don't need to worry about these. we were just asking them questions, so if it is so why is pentagon involved? is pentagon the most peaceful, peaceful authority to deal with such issues?

there are other channels and for us to deal with with peaceful issues of biological, biological, ration violence. but this is about biological weapons and again the proofs that we displayed and the information that the lack should be considered properly. i think that's the. ready the task the means of security council, but we do not. ready one do not want to stop here. i know that there will be meetings in geneva. i know that the biological weapons convention is to provide a set of tools to proceed with our planes. and i don't think that we will see to idle, and we will kind of be discouraged by these developments. it's just very bad or the authority of the reputation and immature of the security council. and i think that's western former partners should be totally aware of the sense that should absolutely around the counter to themselves and to their population of what they are doing and what they're doing. mr class. let's just remind you just remind
