was my doom the was a glad to with these being a by mutual a specific story short time. mm hm. a breaking news here on our teeth. the polish government says 2 civilians are killed in a missile strike on its territory near the ukrainian border. moscow denies polish media claims that it was involved saying the missile fragments do not appear to pertain to current russian arguments in any way. meanwhile, the top nato power, the us as it cannot identify whether the missile was russian, has some other nato states have quickly called for implementing the alliances article 5 for seeing a collective military response. ukrainian official saying multiple cities across

the country have been hit by missiles targeting energy sites and leading to widespread blackout. plus, while the west pushes this ukraine agenda, most of the world wants a peaceful solution. that's the message from russia as foreign minister at the ongoing g. 20 summit with a mosque out of the world. this is our t international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. we begin with breaking news. as the polish government says that 2 civilians have been killed. any missile strike on its territory near the ukrainian border. russia's defense ministry has rejected polish media reports that said the missile could have been russia. moscow says the missile fragments do not appear to resemble any armament currently used by its military statements by polish media and

officials about legit russian missile strike our deliberate provocation aimed at escalating the situation. the russian military has not conducted any strike on a target near the ukrainian polish border. the fragments shown by the polish media do not pertain to russian weaponry in any way. russia had reportedly been conducting strikes on multiple targets around ukraine earlier in the day. the polish village that was allegedly hit is 70 kilometers away from the nearest reported target in the western ukrainian city of lavar. now these are unverified images, reportedly from the theme. you can see damage vehicles in a rural area. fragments of the alleged projectile appear to be from a soviet as 300 air defense missile type, currently used by the ukranian armed forces. the polish military is on high alert

with the countries leadership in contact with fellow nato members about the incident, poland nato, allies in the baltic. how the cues russia directly attacking the block and called for an immediate reaction. ukraine's president zalinski has said russia should quote, the put in its place. now under nato's article 5, an attack against any member state is considered an attack against all of the member states, and therefore may lead to a collective military response. it's one of the alliances core principles. article 5 has only been invoked once following the terrorist attacks against the us on the timber 11th, 2001. what is considered an attack is decided by the member states as poland is part of the alliance. a military attack on that country could trigger direct involvement from other nato forces. however, nato's top military power, the u. s. doesn't seem to be as confident as its partners and invoking article 5

has the pentagon has admitted that washington can't confirm whether the missiles were russian. well, i think we want to deal with facts. and so again, we've seen the press reports. and as i mentioned before, i walked in here no information to corroborate these reports at this time. but again, we're taking them seriously and we're looking into them. and so i think it's incumbent on, on all of us to get the facts before we start speculating or jumping to conclusions . and then we'll go from there. now it appears so far the united states has given a somewhat measured response, while some members of nato seem to be calling for an immediate escalation. we are hearing washington say that they need time to investigate and determine the truth. here's what we heard from the state department, just after what we heard earlier from the pentagon. it is important for us to determine whether missile crash in poland was an accident or a deliberate act. state department also says us does not seek to escalate situation

and is working with poland and nato to collect more information, taking time to understand what has happened. and also we've heard from the white house. this is the statement from the white house. shortly after receiving these reports, national security advisor jake sullivan spoke with chief of the national security bureau of poland. we cannot confirm the reports or any of the details at this time . we will determine what happened and what the appropriate next steps would be. now joe biden is currently in bali for the g 20 summit. however, we understand that he has been briefed on the events on what has taken place and he plans to be speaking with the polish head of state. and the post leader will be speaking with biden, over the phone. they will be consulting on the matter. now, as we've heard from the nato chief himself, the question remains, if this is a situation which article 5 would be involved in that would mean an immediate military response, or rather that this is a situation in which article 4 would be involved in which it would be important for

countries to consult with each other. we understand that the nato countries are, is point in touch with each other trying to determine what happened and that appears the pretty solid position of washington. at this point is that more investigation is needed to determine exactly what happened while there are voices that are speaking loudly and calling for escalations the position of washington at this time from what we're hearing in their statements is that they need more information before making a solid decision we spoke earlier to former pentagon official, michael maloof, it says that western media hysteria has the potential to ignite a world war. these off the record, so called government spokesman, could get us engaged in a war and res hysteria. it already has got the, the corporate media all fired up, claiming that it's all the components were rushed. russia, we don't know that we have no idea what,

what they are and what they're to. it could be some piece of equipment from something that the ukrainians got from the west. who knows, we got to be very careful because the next step in this is. ready something that could, ah, the, in involved a world war and that's what we're trying to avoid at all costs. this thing could easily mushroom, this is a, a, we're, we're at a very rece important crossroads. and we've got a tread very, very carefully on this. and this should go before the un, the un should appoint examiners of the equipment, ensure that of that, the debris rather to ensure a some objectivity. so they're both sides can accept certain conclusions. and that's what right now you don't have either side trusting the other and their so called experts. so we really don't know. the only thing we do know is that some debris that fell into a foreign field. i was not an intent to aim at military targets.

where's the military target? so this, this is hysteria on steroids. all of this, kansas ukrainian cities remain without electricity after russia has reportedly conducted about 85 strikes on ukrainian infrastructure. that's according to authorities and key at r t correspondent, mariah garcia, has more details about the blackouts affecting the country. ukrainian government has described the situation with electricity as desperate even bordering on catastrophic into regions in ukraine have been plunged. id, blackouts, outages of being observed, observed over the country, low ball network operators limiting services in the bid to keep others rubbing, such as basic phone calls. in tier half the cities said to be with our power in oil, this is, this is as a result of unmatched, a volley of cruise,

missiles and other strokes. of course ukraine learned by the russian military of the euclidian sa good said the claim that $85.00 various shrikes, most of them cruise missiles, were launched at various critical infrastructures such. but you claim claims that 70 of those missiles what was shot down. these should be, of course, taken with a grain of salt. all of this information goes through military censorship. across the border and the russian region of dog or at the city of shed backing up has been showered by ukraine. that's according to the local governor who says that at least 2 people have been killed and 3 others wounded. moscow has not yet commented on any of these latest developments. russia has previously said that it targets ukrainian military and energy sites in order to degrade the countries armed forces.

overshadowed by growing tensions. the d 20 summit opened in indonesia on tuesday. the world is watching to see whether leaders can agree on a closing joint statement as divisions, deep it over the conflict in ukraine. ah, most of the world has not side it with the west on the ukraine conflict. that's the message from the russian foreign minister leading moscow's delegation at the g. 20 summit in bali artes. maria phenomena is there with more details. well, many expected this year's d 20 to be tough for ration ahead of the global gathering here in indonesia is bali longdon for example. sad that the venue could be used to confront moscow and call out quoting. also we expected to see some extra moves towards even deeper isolation, both political and economic of moscow. that was the german tense was appeal again

before this summit officially started on the u. s. also had plans to turn this event into an anti russian platform. it's picking up the press conference that he gave at the end of the 1st day of the 20 here, a foreign minister la rog, sad that far from everybody's ready to support this rhetoric. you're pushing for a story and the answer is very simple. no one except the west and it's close to satellites joined. the anti rushes sanctions. it is impossible not to touch on this topic because the west makes a priority to fro the ukrainian situation into any discussion. 3rd world countries calling for a peaceful settlement for agreements. the know perfectly well is processes handed by ukraine, which is legally been negotiations with russia. and i have to say, we're heard a lot here proving that the indonesian president, who is the cost of the j 20 summit, has asked the western leaders to tone down their rhetoric against russia. well,

china said that russia too important to be excluded from global forwards in for years. we support russia and it's where the role in the g 20 summit, russia has strong influence in various spheres of cooperation of the world's community. no one dares to deprive russia of its true right to participate in international multilateral negotiations. it seems that the razor division within the west itself, we more more often hear words such as peace and negotiations from different west and politicians and officials. the new now seems to run out of sanctions imposed on russia. i had a chance to ask for mr. la rog, whether we actually can take this as an official shift and if so, what could we expect? let's take a listen. chicago shot, but you won't. you, you never know what's going on in someone else's mind. short periods of mutual understanding with the european union evaporate quickly. just today, i had a brief conversation with president micron,

who reaffirmed his intention to maintain contact with vladimir putin to find some kind of agreement and resolve the whole situation as he put it to force. i told him once again, all the problems are on the ukrainian side, which categorically refuses any negotiations and put forward obviously, unrealistic conditions such are inadequate in this situation are good to go to the man intrigue of this years to 20 was and still remains whether hates members will be at all able to come to a consensus over the final declaration as the group which brings together 19 of the world's major economies, plus the u. these torn apart by internal divisions over how to approach russia, ukraine conflict, the document used to be signed on wednesday instead of a law voracious war minister said that some western countries wanted this document to be politicized. and they wanted to include condemnation of russia's special military operation in ukraine on behalf of the entire group. that would mean russia

included in that as absurd, of course, bloss into china. saudi arabian brazil refused to move and they refused to accept this condemnation. so now we have to wait for the end of the summit here to see what the final edition of the declaration will look like. as washington steps up, its efforts to persuade more countries to act against russia, he american partner, the u. e has refused to take sides, according to the arab countries presidential adviser. the u. e has no interest in choosing sides between major powers. indeed, that is the central principle that we will not under any circumstances sacrifice our sovereignty. aba davi is an important partner of washington in the gulf region, with 5000 american troops now stationed in the emeralds. however, several u. s. democratic congressman have called for those soldiers to be pulled out from

the u 8 e. that's after the opec plus group, which includes the emory it's agreed to slashes oil output, which washington has spoken out against. now this comes just days after the washington post published an article, citing classified us intelligence documents, claiming that abu dhabi has been meddling and american politics and accusing the arab country of activities resembling espionage. the u. 8 denies the accusations as, as its influence in the us as a product of decades of co operation and diplomacy. international studies expert, a neurotic show, noise says that the american allegations are an attempt to head back at the u. s. e for its foreign policy stance. this was a dime wren just before this of a month ago, president biden tried to number one, ask old sake, especially the saw these to cut down oil production received back to you to use.

second, there was a sabotage of the, of a pipeline and the saudis, and on the pick all should be very, i suppose that they could be next. and before that, the gulf cooperation council also came out in favor of neutrality and opposing sanctions. so it seems to me that the us did hit back on the u a by saying that they were intervening awful. they had to rush earlier that they were into reading and then you know, the snow provocation sought and lead to something bigger. so i think another will also say that look of the prefer working with all sides and we know no longer kind of satellite states to the us. we don't want to be the top us defense officials. so just ukraine would be better, narrowing is goals and submitting recent military games as a bargaining cable with moscow. that however, has

a stop nato secretary general from insisting ukraine should continue fighting traina state so that they're ready to negotiate. but also, of course, no data. the only way to achieve on the acceptable outcome for them is thought to have the strength on the battlefield. so what we should do is to support ukraine and to strengthen their hand. i'd like to know who made young stilton berg, the ultimate voice of authority on military conflict. what's his actual battlefield experience? the guy served his norwegian, mandatory military service at an infantry training school, but his background is in journalism in politics. he's no general more of an armchair general rose through the ranks of the 1st battalion of desk jockeys to head up the nato bureaucracy. so who exactly is still timbered? speaking for here, which actual military experts have giving us some name so we can assess and decide

for ourselves if they're credible or is he just speaking for other bureaucrats and politicians like himself because his opinion is absolutely in contradiction with the view of general mark, milly, that chairman of the u. s. joint chiefs of staff who said recently in the western press that it's time to sit down and talk. milly also said quote, we've seen the ukranian military fight the russian military to a standstill. now what the future holds is not known with any degree of certainty, but we think there are some possibilities here for some diplomatic solutions. retired us army colonel douglas mcgregor, who was the top planner for general wesley clark, when he was nato commander. and who has actually seen battle in iraq and elsewhere unlike stolen, berg who may or may not have gone to war with the photocopier and ended up with a paper. chi is also saying that negotiation is the best off ramp you grinning is are in bad shape. they're not prepared for what's coming. the russian so now

repeatedly at night demonstrated their ability to target precisely energy, fuel, transportation, and so forth. he knows that the ukrainians are running out of those things. it won't be long before they run out of food. it won't be long before their freezer, it's time to negotiate. but unlike pentagon officials, the american national security bureaucracy seems to be dominated by those grasping at any excuse, like the recent russian withdraw in curse on to keep the action going on the battlefield. it's the pentagon officials who are focusing more on taking into account all of the lives lost amid the intense fighting her song. and you see it not as a victory, but instead as a potentially bad sign of more deadly fighting to come. why not start talking about peace talks before you throw another 100000 lives into the abyss. over here in europe, we keep hearing the motto from politicians that ukraine should decide if and when

it wants peace. british defense minister ben wallace apparently wants the west to continue to enable, keeps efforts to fight russia down to the last ukrainian until zalinski decides. otherwise, we won't ukraine to be able to discuss or resolve this issue from a position of strength, not a position of weakness. and that is the current direction of travel, you know, was going to be absolutely thrilled to hear that arms industry has spent over a $100000000.00 on lobbying this year to date. but these faceless war profiteers and their lobbyists aren't accountable to voters or to anyone except maybe their shareholders. just like no one elected yen stilton berg or any one else involved in these bureaucracies who are adamant in their refusal to take a chance on peace. it really does seem like the less skin they have in the game, the more radical they are in their position against negotiations and in favor of continuing on the battlefield. a series of explosions has wrapped it in the turkish

city of as dembo. just 3 days after a terrorist bombing, they killed at least 6 people and wounded more than 80 others. there is still no official information about casualties. from the most recent incident, local media said 5 vehicles are ruptured in flames along with a nearby building firefighters. however, ford of we contain the blaze will keep you updated with any new developments on the story. a senior iranian human rights official has flam coverage or protests in the country by u. k. based media, calling it an unlawful anti iranian campaign. and comparing the persian language outlets to tear groups, the official went on to claim that the british government is responsible for the damning coverage. now this comes as the western media claims that 15000 protesters have been sentenced to death in iran during the past 2 months. of demonstrations k,

ron says, these reports are baseless, more than $220.00 members of the iranian parliament have asked the country court to punish those responsible for the protest. however, the lawmakers have denied making any calls for math executions to wrong has also claimed what it called, unsubstantiated claims on social media, where some activists are condemning alleged crimes against humanity. while calling for iranian officials to be held accountable. an american democratic congresswoman has also weighed in with her criticism of a wrong and despite previously violent crackdowns on protesters in several western countries, some european officials now claim that are wrong handling. other writers is somehow out of line. something unprecedented is happening. the grand children of the revolution are carrying out a revolution and are devouring it. the e u strongly condemned the unacceptable violent crackdown of protesters. we stand

with the iranian people and support their right to protest peacefully and voice their demands and views freely. the iranian people could not be clearer, it's time for the regime to stop blaming external actors and start listening to the voices of their people. university of tehran professors i ad mohammed mirandi says that the western media would have treated such protest very differently if they were happening in their own countries. so this is, this is how it works in the west. they can say anything they want about iran and get away with it. imagine what would happen in western countries if this was happening. darren, if the western meal english language media was encouraging violence in the murder police officers in england off come would immediately shut down the t. v station, the tv channel, and being with these people on trial, we know how huge a protest are taking place across europe. right now,

because of the energy and economic crisis where they're not reported in western media. as the world cup football tournament prepares to kick off on sunday and guitar, the u. s. national team has redesigned its logo to incorporate a flag symbolizing gay pride. now, how a sexuality is, a legal and guitar, and the country has drawn scorn from european lawmakers and human rights organizations for its alleged mistreatment of it's l g b, t, community. that's a lie. that could tars labor minister to claim that western media is conducting a smear campaign on his country, saying politicizing sport is unacceptable. and we do not want to close the door to constructive criticism, not at all. however, there should not be any politicizing and misinformation. the whole western political and media establishment have lost a campaign against cancer in the run up to the world cup despite the fact that

culture is actually a key western ally and i, as a muslim and the editor of a muslim website, i kind of find it really insulting, i think when you go to someone's country, you respect the laws, you respect the culture, even if you don't like any respect and you go to law. but what's the western media is encouraging for us to do, particularly when the cut cut is brake cuts really low. so cutter is a place where homosexuality is bam, it's legal. and what we've seen over the last year or so is, you know, politics, neeson, catalyse for basically because in russia expand, we've seen all this, you know, pro ukraine propaganda with the world's most famous sportsman, being used as a kind of propaganda device. we've seen, you know, kind of stand in so or arabs find, and, and, and band for kind of waiting, palestinian flags and stadiums. i think the way ford is literally key politics asked why we cannot agree. there are no universal human values. we can't agree. so let's respect each other and keep politics out of sport completely. ah mosque, as,

as, as investigating the death of a 23 year old zambian citizen who has been sentenced to prison in russia, but had been killed on the front lines and ukraine was ambien student has been serving time a moscow prison after receiving a 9 year term for drug possession, their me an official say, is unclear how their citizen ended up in ukraine, where he said to have been killed. back in september. authorities added that the victim's body is being handed over by russia to zambia. one of the world's largest crypto currency exchanges f t x has filed for bankruptcy . the crypto market responded by tumbling to a 2 year lo now the co ops of f t. x came after journalist exposed financial problems at the exchange, which led to panicked investors trying to withdraw their assets with f t x failing

to pay up. the exchange was also accused of being a financial front for the us democratic party. as our team donald quarter explains a crypto market crash, at least $1000000000.00 just missing and a whole lot of angry shareholders and all the guy responsible for it has to say is, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, that's the biggest thing i should have done. but her sam, bakeman fried, had the company called f t x 11 of the world's largest crypto currency exchanges. now going through chapter 11 bankruptcy. the collapse came just days after mid term elections began, which is interesting because that the ex was founded in 2019, when joe biden was still on the campaign trail. what's more interesting is that bank been freed, ended up making the 2nd largest single donation to biden's campaign, a whopping $5200000.00. my goal is just to find out how i can do the most good. and

i had a long list of things to look at, at least briefly. and politics has always been on that list. and i've been fairly skeptical of it. it's come as no surprise that the guy was dropping big box into the democrats mid term coffers as well. $36000000.00 he gave to pro democrat groups only to be outspent by the one and only george soros at $126000000.00. but money isn't the only connection f t x has with the democrats bank min freeze. mom is the co founder of mines, the gap, a pro dam organisation that fund raised $140000000.00 back in 2020. his dad also drafted tax legislation for democratic senator elizabeth warren. clearly, blue blood runs in the family crypto currency entrepreneur chris, and it's showing my colleague nicky, aaron in the studio earlier to break down the f t x controversy. i think it's significant because a huge amount of emphasis was put on to specifically really by the united states,

the government telling the world the f t x was the most trusted place for you to trade by sale and really learn about crypto currency. it's very strange that you know, they were too large dynamic donors to the, to the democrats. so over the last, say, 12 to 18 months. first, almost george soros, the person that comes number to with some vitamin fried, the founder of f t x. now the biggest problem we've got now is because now there's no, not really any visibility yet as to whose money he used did use his own money. what did he use other people's just how common is it for crypto market like f t x to wise and for so quickly? well, i don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this. i'd say that this, this wasn't really a crypt currency project. this is a product that was costing millions of dollars. it was it really in a very short period of time became a very large global financial institution. you know, having that much money moving around the system. you know, they were bigger than most banks. so we've not really seen anything like that

before, but i wouldn't say it is that common. i mean, it may seem, seem coming from outside, but i, i think the majority people in, in the print, the current industry acts with, you know, you know, using normal business rules which is good governance, best practice. it's not your money. it's someone else's. you can't just take money from investors and take money from people who have trusted you with it and spend on what you like. so it's not that common, however, you know, it's definitely a very, very bad thing. the crypt, currency industry, of billions of dollars have allegedly vanished into thin air from f t x. is there any way to track the money? well, this is again, another good question. the question that arises is, where was the regulator, right? say really that in, in my view, and i think that we have a lot of people in the industry where we've been looking to regulate this to say, okay, that's your job. that's what regulate this job. but it pays in this case that, you know, typically the fcc have been really quote with, you know, as we've been in court with trials us down here. i mean, right now with the number of different entities that we can see, it's going to be very, very difficult for people to track without money when's and who's.
