ah ah, and it's right here without internet no, the former pakistan prime minister m ron con, survives, and assassination attend, as he's shot during a protest march. as we understand, the gunman confessed hon was the only time i can at least 3 civilians wounded off the ukrainian forces shell, the center of the next city. again, that's according to local authorities. also in the program, we speak to the former vice chancellor of austria on the main challenges in europe

is facing because of enormous fancy russia including the police, were saying that the sanctions decided on damage one's self and called home to austrian population. if this leads to shortages in gas, but also electricity, and this can lead to dramatic developments with like wall to wall these hours at all t international. and so good to have you with us big stories on the bill to night. so the former pakistan on a prime minister, iran con, has been shot in the leg during a protest march. he was leading to the country's capital islam abroad report say he is receiving treatment. that hospital, the governor was caught by authorities and reportedly confessed that iran, con, was his soul target. ah, the suspect allegedly confessed and said he had acted a love. it was not clear under what conditions he made the statement. however,

i am, ron con, had been leading a protest march to the capital with the bond stuck elections. and footage on local media showed the 70 year old with a bandage leg being moved from his truck to another vehicle with the help of his security team. how a senator and senior pci party leader, we'll also caught up on the gunfire. claim that one of con supporters was killed in the shooting because manager, along with a former governor rural. so hit bringing the total number of wounded to 9. the countries current prime minister issued a statement condemning the incident and calling for an immediate investigation. so we hit the streets to get feedback from witnesses. and i was standing just behind emron hahn when a gunman appeared on the left and opened straight fire on him. one bullet hit his leg, people protected him by covering him. i was standing beside my leader, him run hot 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. these men which has been embarked on this government is doing nothing, but i'd like a we did hear from a one that local journalist who was on the bus with him. ron conn, at the time of the shooting, brought us this report. this is the crime scene we out again here. god bless his god, catch at a job. we were standing at the top of this chart because we had a point with the iran contra and introduce the our to tv. so we were waiting there about about $45.00 teams of media. there was some film leaders off the pizza. at implant con was at the front side, off the truck. the truck was coming from bad sites out our pharmacy, nobody and entering into the city and display as most children, florida. that the address of the prime of hardware, primary, southern lamb county,

he had to address this place just before that or 200 dollar mute was back on the site. i've done man a bit on the left side and he opened fire. so i'm kind of standing in front, saw him one bullet, cross his leg, but his barn is safe. the bullet cross the leg. there are other for, i'm pretty i leaders who are injured. and one, what is that that he was shifted to his own hospital in law hall because dad, dad, dad, are still sick or can't seem to city police. his dad had that they have caught on off this area. but let me tell you after to was, i think the many evidence is vic would not collect the evidence because of their book. they are part of their accounts. so now there is a situation. coleman is very cool now, but at that time there was a chaos and media running and people are running and nobody knew that out. what

happened to him on time, but that later they were announced that he's safe. so we have our, i see it across the country. people are very concerned because they love amazon con andy vasa, a implant composite, addressing them before they saw i'm us, he addressed almost 40 plus cities, millions of people. he addressed to them and he was calling them but to come and join him in the lots and to go to islamabad and around the fair and he meets her to alexis. so this is the situation until now. this situation is that colon. com no, but that outcome sounds about timberline pam? i mean the lock on the tv. was it about like islam? let's take that story a little bit further here on our team international and i'll speak with a group captain sultan met. would hardly a veteran of the pakistani f or steri is

a very good afternoon. good evening to you. so welcome to the program. here we're not you international, some of the people we've been interviewing already today, a mid this story with him. ron conner, the assassination attempt, some people saying this was bound to happen and it should be a wake up call to him, ron con. your thoughts? thank you very much for having me on the show and it is a sad day because iran is a very popular leader. and when you say that it was bound to happen, you see in just only a few days back, a very popular starting journalist who was a guy supporter of iran was gone down in kenya. and it was expected that iran hunt is going to be a target, especially during the purpose march with doors. and exactly the same thing is happening. the redeeming factor is that in, in, in june, fatally, even survive. he's got to pull it in his bag, but it is

a big apartment. it is also a government that 1st of all they should have insure to secure the 2nd that they have to take responsibility and try and find out who with who exactly behind. this is the thing though, it does the fact that a moroccan was targeted suggest how much of a potential threat to the system he could be you see him run fan has been sent to the system and then one of the reasons why he lost his seat as the prime minister of ox down is because he was trying to take care of corruption by the end of corruption by the hans and try to remove corruption and some very effective political leaders in his docket. secondly, he was also trying to ensure justice for the people as well as trying to come out of the clutches of foreign influence. so these factors combined and that is why he

was removed from his seat. and now that he's been trying to get the road of democracy back on the tracks and have a start election, he was, he will probably not be easy checked the true democratic means. and the only means left was to try and eliminate him by these industrial lee and means, what do you, what do you think is the true level of support for the pakistan prime minister, enron con, we've been showing images here. when i came to national, i just can't even imagine how many thousands of people rallying behind him to go on this march to the capital there did to do if you would be so kind to tell us and tell our audience. is he really as popular as the pictures seem to show? indeed he is. you see a what in the vendor in pakistan at the moment is in clement is extremely cold. and if people are,

would otherwise be reluctant to come out. but the very fact that they have come out in a support shows that he's popular and the number of people that have come out to join him in the rallies and was supporting him there on, in hundreds of thousands. so it is indication, a clear indication of the level of support popularity and love that he enjoys all along. i mean, across the board in the country, or i said my last question for you. so before i let you go, and it's so good to have you with us on this program tonight from, from our t international and from moscow here. do you think what, what's going to be next? and he, clearly he's going to recover, it's a shot to the leg, he's going to recover. he's had medical treatment. what comes next? yes, that is a good question. and that is a question in the mind of anybody was interested in the politics of pakistan as well as the people who are a very heinous crime has been committed in the whoever tried to have him eliminated,

did not succeed. what you see the government of the day, 1st of all, has to date judge and try and find out who was behind it. now. so there is some image, it was just that come to your mind. is that how was one only one person apprehended and how come that he had a really made confession to me and that confession was not on the recorded, but it was played on this j d v, within minutes of the incident. so this all shows a kind of a pre meditated brought to eliminate iran. so the, what is going to come next? there's been the people are extremely fear they're going to come out even in greater numbers now in support. so i think the only part left right now is to go for an immediate in 40 plus also bo, announce a date for snap elections. anything less than that is going to lead to chaos. and may have pretty fascinating inside that with

a group captain cell talking about more highly a veteran of the pakistan air force joining us life, ronald, see international really appreciate your time. thank you very much. you're most welcome. it was a pleasure to be on your channel. oh, that's okay. sure. president says his country will create a gas hub which could help deliver russian gas to europe. cindy led in it and as it could, while many countries, including europe, are preparing to limit energy use in the coming winter. we don't worry about that. turkey is becoming a gas and energy hub. energy exports to europe will be carried out through our territory. let every one who criticizes us for a balanced policy during the crisis between russia, ukraine taken example from us. well, the news comes as europe is planning to pay enormous sums to save its citizens from a high energy prices. according to some estimates, european government plan to allocate more than 600000000000 euros to subsidize

consumers. a germany tops the table with plaster shut off more than 260000000000 euros and support. all that comes against a background of soaring inflation in the euro's own, which has been breaking all time records each and every month. and that has seen some european politicians call for a rethinking of the anti rush of sanctions. germany should look to russia once this war is over. once that issue is that we should be able to ensure industrial production. we depend on a competitive price for guess. my view point is that one worked just with l. n g. we need more diplomatic initiatives, talks it's finally time to appear in the you and say, these sanctions harm is much more than putin are. people have to foot the bill for them. if you are honest, you would have to say to the population we can't do without this russian oil and gas for a long time. meanwhile, in austria, the only major political party calling for an end to the sanctions against russia is now leading in several opinion polls that softer according strong results and

local elections in september. and we spoke to the freedom parties, former head hines, christians track, who also served as the austrian vice chancellor for 2 years. what he thinks about the current challenges facing your ah, i've been, i've been busy the putting neat yes, of course the sanctions of self harming was saying that the sanctions decided on damage oneself and cold hom to austrian population. when we renounce oil, when we renounce gas, even though there are valid binding contracts and yet payments have to be made even though we're practicing this renunciation. if this leads to shortages in gas, but also electricity than this can lead to dramatic developments which we are already experiencing, namely price increases, shortages that could lead to electricity black out to the situation where a could get cold in winter to a situation where the industrial companies, the businesses can perhaps only produce for few hours, and the people, yes, could become unemployed and experienced price increases that they can no longer

afford in this could lead to a new mass poverty. so these are all the developments that are obviously not been thought through. and of course, one must ultimately blame those in political power for such development is that some analyst has heard them out there. on the one hand, it is dramatic that we have to experience a war in the middle of europe, in this case in ukraine, and that we have a conflict situation where actually every rational and responsible person should do everything to contribute to peace and negotiations. we now witnessing a situation in which the european union, without discussing the reasons and the underlying reasons, has taken a stance on the matter and is not advocating negotiations and the path of negotiation. but his evidently favoring the supply of weapons and fun escalation and is also pushing a policy of sanctions to the detriment of its own citizens in the european union. and that makes the whole situation extremely dangerous, because instead of relaxation, there is a further escalation. and i think we have to ease the tension and look for

solutions on how we can ensure peace in europe and in ukraine. may i say a couple of you. well, i can only say that i hope the all sides involved to so rational that this will never be the case lease. but we have to take the development of the wall that we are currently witnessing in ukraine into account. and yes, we're talking about a war of aggression by russia, but it as a history and underlying reasons, the underlying reasons are 2 on my dom in 2014 events before 2014, including the european union ukraine association agreement. at that time, as an opposition leader of the freedom party, i demanded that russia should be brought into a common table to discuss common interests with the european union and ukraine to find a good, sustainable common path. unfortunately this was not done and was rejected, but then the crew on my down took place and we all remember victoria newland and her famous statement which was ought to during and intercept a telephone conversation. i'm quoting her now, e u, that was a topic,

and then we had to witness the civil war. that last had many years, resulting in 10000 deaths in ukraine. and the european union did not get involved as a party of peace. these at many developments without justifying anything but one must understand the underlying reasons and also natives eastward expansion which ultimately led to this escalation. this is not dismissing any responsibility, but we must understand the underlying reasons. and we've also experienced was such as in afghanistan in syria and libya, and also in serbia where one did not act in accordance with international law. so as they are the world's power structures shift eastwards german, chancellor of schultz is on his way to china. it's an a bit to us with us. we say increasingly fraught relations between western professional partners and 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 cooperation

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. you may be surprised to learn that shawls, will be the 1st european politician to visit beijing since 2019. but it comes as europe's faced pressure from the united states to take a tougher line against china. as always, with her thoughts and opinions with her take on the story. naughty contributor rachel must. most is over in china, proclaiming the importance of trade with beijing as a 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 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'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 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 and even half the new prime minister's name right yet. you are, canada is a national security to dump chinese states and 3 lithium mines. candice foreign affairs minister foss with 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 french orange. 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 to 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 so, 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 has didn't, is running to show u. s. allies in asia must be getting a bit nervous, particularly singapore,

which just signed a bunch of deals with china. and member states including hobby ceasing of hall, want to maintain good relations with both the u. s. and pacing is for both the us and china to where 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. wikileaks has published the moment. mike pompeo, the former secretary of state annex cia chief, was served with a law suit as he attended an event in ohio. have a look at this. ah

. all right, open out to watch is caleb often good to say use that okay. lips i to tell us more about why these lawyers and american journalists have sued the cia and it's for my head. mike pompeo. sure. well, we have 2 lawyers, and 2 journalists who have filed a lawsuit, claiming that their 4th amendment rights were violated. their private information was surveilled by the us government, along with dozens of others when they went to visit julian aside as he was hauled up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. essentially, they are arguing they were spied on without proper justification and their rights violated and their personal information not access by the government without due process. this is what they put forward in their lawsuit. prior to their visits, each visitor was required to surrender his or her electronic devices,

smartphones and laptops to the employees of u. c. global. unbeknownst to each of these visitors and without their consent employees of you c global, acting without the knowledge of the ecuadorian government, copied the information stored on the devices. you see global then provided that information to the defendant, united states central intelligence agency, the cia then headed by defendant, michael palm pale. the practices complained of are the violation of the rights of well over a 100 american citizens who visited assange at the ecuadorian embassy in london, england during his sanctuary, including attorneys who are then representing him, journalists there to interview him and even doctors who are then treating him, each of whom had a privileged and confidential connection to the a sally and other clients sources and patients. some of whose confidential information was stored on their electronic devices. now they are calling for damages as a result of distress and anxiety. they suffered from having their personal

information violated their privacy, essentially violated by american intelligence and the cia. now it's important to know that you see global, the firm that is mentioned in the lawsuit. this is not the 1st time that they have been investigated for these activities and former employees of u. c. global have come forward and confirm that they were indeed bugging and spying on julian assange and his associates. there is testimony from former u. c. global employees. they were investigated in spain. now it's interesting to note the lawsuit specifically talks about mike han payout. and his role is cia director according to reports, he was obsessed with julian assigned you had sketches made about possible methods of assassinating, doing this on the civil rights attorney who is representing the the plaintiffs in this lawsuit. she gave specific comments regarding the former cia director my

cocktail. if a foreign journalist can be prosecuted for publishing factional documents, then no journalist is safe, and apparently mike pompei believes that attorneys representing journalists, should not be safe either. these actions are outrageous. now the irony is that this lawsuit was served to mike pay on the very same day that the current us secretary of state was tweeting out about support for journalists. then freedom of the press . now it's important to know that currently juliana on is being held in del mar prison in the united kingdom. he has been fighting extradition. he's currently appealing the possibility of being extradited to the united states. if he ends up going to the united states, he would face over possibly a 175 years in prison, you have prosecuted in the united states standing trial in the united states. meanwhile, we now see my pale, the former, the director, and former us secretary of state, served with

a lawsuit over violations of the rights and individuals who met with you in assad, violating their privacy. it is yet to be seen if this. busy will ultimately result in my pay. oh, actually having a day and course now caleb, thanks for that. see you soon or some of the late is not from don bass, where ukrainian artillery has again struck the center of the next city this thursday morning. at least 3 people, according to local authorities, will show us some of the latest footage from the scene where one of the shells landed near a bus. you can see some damage there. also some blood on the stairs as passengers who are on board were impacted by shrapnel and shattered glass. his aunt, his room and culture 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 a where shell fragments struck the passenger bus. he then preceded 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 internet is 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, 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 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 and sack. however, the owner of the store said that sir, so 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 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 have been killed in the nest people's republic, and multiple were wounded by ukrainian artillery, shelling rum on call for of archie dun escrow public. meanwhile, in the hudson region, officials, their se ukrainian forces attracted administrative building of the city of goliath, tristan, no one was wounded despite the damage inflicted on the structure. what's a big story here? moscow's condemned a vote at the un security council, which sorts call rejected for an investigation into claims. the u. s. has been operating biological weapons laboratories in ukraine. the 3 of the security council's permanent members, the u. s. france,

and the u. k. all voted against the resolution. well, 10 rotating members abstain. china back russia proposal with beijing representative stressing the issue should be given full attention from the entire global community . the shuttle in russia has repeatedly made allegations that the un security council that the united states a suspected of conducting bio military activities in 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. it's a bit earlier in the program. i was talking to russia, his deputy envoy to the un, dimitri pollyanna sky. now he believes the resolution was blocked. he says that there are some who prefer not to have light shed on. there are 2 fifties in ukraine . we repeatedly flagged this issue in the security council. we said that we have

very serious concerns. we have quite a considerable number of rules that indicates that the corporation between the ukranian authorities and pentagon in the military biological sphere is 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 united states and its allies. 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 proof of information. that's where we see clarification from my us. sounds great and that's all it is. and again, it was done in accordance with the relevant articles of the biological weapon.
