the following images show the exact moment of the ah, you had a suspect, allegedly confessed and said he had acted alone. however, it's not clear under what conditions he made his statement. a con, had been leading a protest march to the capital with a demand for snap elections and footage from local media show the 70 year old with a bandaged leg that he was moved from one truck to another vehicle with the help of his security team. now a sen unseen u. p t i party leader who also got caught up in the gunfire. claim that one of con, support has was killed in the shooting. a cons manager, along with a former governor, were also hit, bringing the total number of wounded to 9, and the countries current prime minister issued a statement condemning the incident and calling for an immediate investigation. so we hit the streets to gauge reaction from witnesses and i was standing

just behind him. ron 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 in ron han on his 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 embossed, john goldman, is doing nothing that i can do. we heard from our local journalist who was on the bus with him. ron khan at the time of the shooting, filed 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 an appointment with the iran, contra, and interview with our tv. so we were waiting bit about that for 5 teams of media.

but let me tell you after to was, i think the many evidence is they could not collect the every dose because there are, there are people, there are clouds. so now there is a situation coleman. it's very cool now, but at that time there was that chaos and media rooming and people about running and nobody knew that what happened to him on time, but that letter they about it and now that he's safe, so we have our see how it crossed the country people are very concerned because they love amazon con handy vasa. i am land con vasa, addressing them before this i long mot. 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 long months, had to go to islamabad and around the family and he meets her to alexis. so this is the situation until now. this situation is the coolant. com now,

but they're not concerned about him. i'm pam. i me the luck on i did tv was he and i bought bike as far as cost a new delhi now to learn more with a political and foreign policy expert, doctor super cml data. joining us here in ot international good evening, so thank you for joining us on the program here. sorry, it's due during such a such bad news for him, ron con, of course. well, what's your reaction today that to today's a assassination attempt, i mean did, did it come as a shock to you, or was it something that you fear it might happen? run past and foremost with reesha in bron con speedy discovery. and to be here in india, we cause a confound about what is happening in pakistan because packet bond is the next case . open not key as thought, you know. and with so much up economic and social calles there and thoughts high level of inflation, economic disaster, this political instability in pakistan is definitely

a concern for the whole of south asia, including india as such. and i was, are similarly my fair by all with him. that's a big kind of thing might happen on like, i mean i would be really bad. you know, they could be escalation of violence that spot between the ruling government and the opposition and the thing leading to a kind of a, me, him and pockets on as such because foster b natural love, loud and calamity is you know, walker some think konami is completely deb lots of relating installation. it is a bankruptcy. a ticket is surviving on international dough aloud. now, with that kind of scenario event, there's so much of socio economic tension in the country. now this politics in the p 3 are when our disaster as thoughts, you know, and the way things are going and pop is done in my understanding. it is really

having 4 bad days ahead. that's why i think you make a good point, not, not just with a political issues as well, but that is the natural disasters included. they does have a bit of a cumulative effect people in that part of the world. i've been having a particularly difficult a couple of months. so you're in new delhi doctor, you're about 700 kilometers away from islamic bod. but have you had any reaction from the authorities where you are in delhi tonight? vela there was the press briefing given by the ministry of external app, is all applauding that year in india and the foreign 3 and the you know, the spokes percent of the journal left as ministry have said to the media that you know, the government in india is, you know, like, i mean, it's trying to assimilate all of the events which are happening in parker on. and it's trying to gathering information as to what actually let be kind of as an asian atom desktops. and what are the reasons behind it, as you know?

so that's what the bree repaint here. the new delhi, by the spokesperson of the ministry of had left off the bat to bed. hasn't been any more louder. you know like validation thought sleeping plants such i expressed are more and more in depth time w l and the analysts tomorrow. and probably the indian government would come out with kind of an official statement to model as such in relation to be happening and pockets done. but what happened did park the song of a, c, d o, c, d, a stand for us? and specially we here in the process of be in army can social chaos, and about can i vision which is taking place down. it is almost on the verge of disintegration as thoughts, you know. and now with this time political may, and we feel that, you know, like how many of the whole situation escalates. part of that, then dad is up here all who would be controlling the nuclear arsenals. not,

you know, and you know that the nuclear plants are not in very safe and spot as they pick the people say, as thought you know, and now that these political part of my been better off means groups and several, you know, get out operating from pockets on it's much now if the nuclear arsenal goals in their hands of those, you know, diffracted, forces them back to the $89.00 double chaos for the whole region. and, you know, like i'm in the whole, the central reality of se, would be a step that thought. so back to something of a very big concern. and ultimately you're adding a whole new dimension to the angle of the story, a doctor. and it's a very disturbing angle as well. of course, pakistan is a nuclear power. one can only hope the cooler heads will prevail and everything will simmer down ever so slightly. dr. stupid, i'll come. i'll really appreciate you joining out your naughty international look forward to seeing you sometime soon. thank you so much. thank you. let's get to

some of the latest information now from don bass, where you creating artillery has struck the center of don't city this thursday, wounding at least 3 people. it's another strike in the city center confirmed by local officials or some of the footage from the scene. you can see one of the shells mounted near a bus. you can see debris than passengers blood as well as they were hit by shrapnel and shattered glass. here's our correspondent, roman coast, 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 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 fragments of the shell hit his clothes and this is his account of what had happened. beautifully 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,

3 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, they're say the ukrainian force is attacked and administrative building of the city of a goliath prison. as we understand, no one was wounded despite the damage inflicted all right, so the turkish president says his country will now create a gas hub, whose purpose is one main idea that is to deliver russian gas back to people in europe. tindy let in it, and as you could, while many countries including in europe are preparing to limit energy use in the coming winter. we don't worry about that. turkey is becoming a gas in 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 exam. but all that comes against a background of soaring inflation in the euro's own, which has been breaking old time records each and every month. that has certainly seen some european politicians cold for a rethinking of the anti russia sanctions. germany should look to russia once this war is over. what cit 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 flip the bill for them. if you were 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 us off to recording strong results and local elections in september. and we did speak to the freedom party's former head, a heinz christians, track who also serve as the austrian vice chancellor for 2 years. and what he thinks about the current challenges facing you ah, bill had been busy the good need was saying that the sanctions decided on damage oneself and cause 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 it 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. and this could lead to a new mass poverty. these are all the developments that are obviously not being thought through. and of course, one must ultimately blame those in political power for such developments. but some analysts heard them out the, on the one hand, it is dramatic that we have to experience of 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 insure peace in europe and in ukraine. ah, is it a comedy? well, i can any say that i hope that all sides involve to so rational that this will never be the case. but we have to take the development of the wall that we're 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 coo on my dom in 2014 events before 2014, including the european union ukraine association agreement. at that time, as an opposition lead 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 below then the qu on my done took place and we all remember victoria newland and her famous statement which was uttered during an intercepted telephone conversation.

i'm quoting her now, the e u that was a topic, and then we had to witness the civil war that lasted many years, resulting in 10000 deaths in ukraine. and the european union did not get involved as a party of peace. these and many developments without justifying anything but one must understand the underlying reasons and also natives eastwood expansion, which ultimately led to this escalation is not dismissing any responsibility, but we must understand the underlying reasons we've also experienced was such as in afghanistan in syria and libya and also in serbia were one did not act in accordance with international law. filthy. wikileaks has published the very moment that mike hum payer, the former secretary of state, an ex cia chief, was served with a law suit as he attended an event in ohio. have a look at this. ah, well, we have 2 lawyers and 2 journalists who have filed a lawsuit,

claiming that their 4th amendment rights were violated. that their private information was surveilled by the us government, along with dozens of others when they went to visit julian sanchez, he was hold up in the aqua. dorian embassy in london. essentially, they are arguing they were spied on without proper justification, had their rights violated, had 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 u. 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 ca,

then headed by defendant, michael palm pale. now they are calling for damages as a result of the stress 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 note that you see global, the firm that is mentioned in the lawsuit. this is not the 1st time that they've 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 pompei and his role is the director according to reports, he was obsessed with julian. if you had sketches made about possible methods of fascinating doing,

it's on the civil rights attorney who is representing the the plaintiff in this lawsuit. she gave specific comments regarding the former, the director mike pale. if a foreign journalist can be prosecuted for publishing factual documents, then no journalist is safe. and apparently mike pompeo 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 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, has been fighting extradition, is currently appealing the possibility of being extradited from united states. if he ends up going to the united states, he would face over possibly a 175 years in prison, and prosecuted in the united states standing trial in the united day. meanwhile,

we now see might fail. the former, the director and former us secretary of state, served with a lawsuit over violations of the rights of individuals who met with you in violating their privacy. it is yet to be seen if this will ultimately result in my . com pay. oh, actually having a day in for moscow has condemned a vote of the un security council, which sorts call rejected for an investigation is a claims. the u. s. has been operating biological weapons laboratories in ukraine. 3 of the security council's permanent members, american, france, and the u. k voted against the resolution while 10 rotating members abstained. china back rushes proposal, the beijing's representative stressing the issue should be given a full from the entire global community. sure, all women him still wouldn't. so you knew, though russia has repeatedly made allegations at the un security council that the

united states a 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. we spoke with the vice president of the scientific china and globalization. victor gal who has real concerns about the purpose of such bio weapons laboratories in ukraine. i think involving a biological situation. it is very complicated. the united states has a more than 200 different laboratories in different parts of the world. mostly sponsored by the pentagon and it is actively engaged in military biological productions or research and development. and this is

a sign of great concern because normally you do not need to run such an extensive operation of biological preparedness or even biological. i'm attacked upon any other punches or therefore i think the world has a reason to get marked that the united states become more transparent and more open as far as it's operations in many countries are concerned. and that we want to know the truth to want to know what are the facts behind all these military laboratories in so many countries? what exactly they are doing all the preparing for peace, or are they preparing for something else? and i would say that the world really has a reason to make such demands. and i hope, eventually, in due course, more true will be brought out to the main car. good to have you with us for this chart. despite widespread alf rage among haitians, of

a foreign intervention in that country, the prime minister of canada insist that is necessary to deal with the humanitarian crisis in the caribbean nation. fabulous to my, the faster no glasses showing you, we understand that the haitian people do not want for an intervention. that is the reality. but at the same time, we look at the crisis, the rapes, the violence, the poverty, the cholera, the sanitary crisis. we must intervene one way or another. meanwhile, kind of as foreign minister said equipment sent to the camp country will be used to support the local police. haiti's ambassador, the canada has called for a solution to the desperate situation. of the developments come off, the haiti's request for intervention sparked violent protests all across the caribbean nation. meanwhile, more than 100 civil rights groups have penned an open letter calling on joe biden to abandon plans of an intervention in the country. the member went further, suggested that white house should reevaluated support for haiti's acting prime

minister. only. we encourage your administration to reflect a long history of international interventions in e t and how those actions have served to undermine state institutions, democratic norms, and the rule of law. previous interventions have had a cost to human toll including through rape, sexual exploitation, and extra judicial killings. through eve, angular author, and political analyst based in montreal. joining sharon, are you into national a very warm welcome to use the canadian prime minister said he is well aware of patients being against any outside intervention. but trudeau says it's necessary. or do you think also washington should be the ones deciding what's next. the haiti? no, they shouldn't be. they are if he were going to list all the countries in the world that are the least credible actors in haiti, the us and canada would be the credible actors. so they definitely shouldn't be

when to go says that we need to do something. he is ignoring the fact that we have done something. we are the ones in the core group which is dominated by the us and canada appointed area lowery. arreola re, after you are a canadian us pressure called for, for an intervention that he wants to for intervention to protect his rule, which is completely illegitimate. has very little populace, or if been mass demonstrations for more than 2 months. and the trudeau is, is, is running around meeting with secretary of state lincoln from the u. s. meeting officials all around the world repeatedly talking about a haitian solution to the crisis. what i wonder is, what would a canadian solution be? because when it's the government running around the world organizing afford intervention, brady, that seems to me like that they canadian solution. so no,

justin, true. those comments are all over the place on this. he speaks a certain kind of rhetorical support for you know, haitian sovereignty. but in fact, the key government does not care about haitian sovereignty whatsoever. it's really, really interesting to hear from you if that. so let me just back up for a moment. if i, if i can mr. angler so, so you're saying the aerial on re the sitting room right now needs help. he needs help because he was a western implemented leader that they, they put him in there. the people are upset over this. they're revolting against him and he's calling the outside help to protect his leadership. is that as far as i understand? not that is the main story. yeah. ariel re was appointed by a tweet. 16 months ago when driven marie was killed. the did. i realize we had been appointed as the prime minister by by more use but he hadn't been, he hadn't had parliament. okay. it and there were 3 different individuals that have

been sitting prime minister, the head of the senate were all claiming to be in charge after moiz assassination. and the power struggle between the 3 of them was ended by tweets from the core group, which treated out a statement saying we back arial on re ariel and we've implicated in the assassination there's, you know, he phoned here multiple form conversations with the, with the, the main suspect in the assassination of you of it, i'm always and he's somebody who has been working with the u. s. in canada for 2 decades after big u. s. canada and france overthrew.
