dementia slaughter doesn't look bad, let's look it up a little bit. so, i mean, you're in a breaking news here on our t. poland says it doesn't have evidence to confirm who might have launched an alleged missile attack on its territory. this as moscow denies any involvement, noting that the missile fragments do not pertain to russian weaponry used in ukraine. meanwhile, the top nato power, the us said that cannot identify whether the missile was russian as some other nato states have a quickly called for implementing the alliances article 5 for seeing a collective military response. ukrainian officials say multiple cities across the
9:01 pm
country have been hit by missiles targeting energy sites and leading to widespread blackouts. last, while the west pushes a few crane agenda, most of the world wants a peaceful solution. that's the message from russia's foreign minister at the ongoing g. 20 summit with from 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 poland says, it doesn't have any evidence to confirm who might have launched an alleged missile attack on its territory that says the russian defense ministry says the fragments which have reportedly been found at the site do not resemble any are meant currently used by the russian military statements by polish media and officials
9:02 pm
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. the incident branded by polish media and officials, as a missile strike was 70 kilometers from the nearest reported target struck by russia. moscow has been conducting strikes on multiple targets around ukraine throughout tuesday. let's take a look here at some unverified images, reportedly from the scene. you can see damage vehicles in a rural area. missile fragments reportedly found at the site are also visible. the polish foreign ministry said the missile was, quote, russian made not staving who exactly launched it. that some reports say the alleged fragments are from a soviet as 300 air defense missile. a type currently used by the ukranian armed
9:03 pm
forces. the polish ministry is on high alert with the countries leadership in contact with follow nato members about the incident pulling nato allies in the baltic. havoc used russia directly attacking the block and called for an immediate reaction. ukraine's president, he has said, russia should quote, be 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 alliance's core principles. article 5 has only been invoked once following the terrorist attacks against the u. s. on september 11th, 2001. what is considered an attack is decided by the members state as poland as 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. to others seem to be as competent as,
9:04 pm
as partners and invoking article 5. as the pentagon has admitted that washington can not confirm whether the missile was 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. i don't want to speculate about hypotheticals, and we're working with the bullish government and our partners to gather more
9:05 pm
information and assess exactly what will happen. what are going to do that we want to determine what will happen each permanent for written next steps. 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 polish 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, this is a situation in which article 4 would be involved in which it would be important for
9:06 pm
countries to consult with each other. we understand that the nato countries are at this point in touch with each other trying to determine what happened and it 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 escalation 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, poland military is reported to be on alert, as well as nato's joint forces in eastern europe. the alliance has scheduled an urgent summit to be held later today. it is also said that international experts, including from the u. s. are going to investigate the incident 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,
9:07 pm
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, in it involves 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 you, when the you, when should appoint examiners of the equipment, ensure that of that the debris rather to ensure a some objectivity so that 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
9:08 pm
experts. so we really don't know. the only thing we do know is that some debris that fell into a foreign field, that was not an intent to aim at military targets. where's the military target? so this, this is hysteria on steroids. all of this kind of ais ukrainian cities remain without electricity after russia has reportedly conducted around 85 strikes and ukrainian infrastructure. that's according to authorities in key f r t correspondent, mariah garcia, has more details on 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 into blackouts, outages of being observed, observed going over the country lowball network operators,
9:09 pm
limiting services in the bid to keep others rubbing, such as basic phone calls in tea of half the cities said to be with our power in oil, this is, this is as a result of a massive a volley of cruise missiles and other strokes. of course, ukraine learned by the russian military. the euclidian side had said the claim that $85.00 various shrikes, most of them cruise missiles 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 belgrade, the city of sha back and has that been shelled by ukraine. that's according to the local governor who says at least 2 people have been killed and 3 others wounded. moscow has not yet commented on any of the latest developments. russia has
9:10 pm
previously said that it targets ukrainian military and energy size in order to degrade the country's armed forces. overshadowed by growing tensions, the g 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 and over the conflict in ukraine. the most of the world has not cited with the last on the ukrainian conflict. that's the message from the russian foreign minister leading moscow's delegation at the g. 20 summit in bali, r t 's. maria, if an ocean is there with more details. well, many expected this year's d 20 to be tough for russia 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
9:11 pm
out booting. 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, law grove, sad that's far from everybody's ready to support this rhetoric ought to be a bushing 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 of 3rd world countries calling for a peaceful settlement for agreement. they know perfectly well with this process is handed by ukraine, which is legally been negotiations with russia. and i have to say, we're heard
9:12 pm
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 former, it's only 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 view now seems to run out of sanctions imposed on russia. i had chance to ask for minister la rogue whether we actually can take this as an official shaved. and if so, what could we expect? let's take a listen gentle shop at georgia. you never know what's going on in someone else's
9:13 pm
mind. short periods of mutual understanding with the european union evaporate quickly. just today i had a brief conversation with president micron. we reaffirmed his intention to maintain contact with latimer pollutants where to find some kind of agreement and resolve the whole situation. as he put a student 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 for good to go use the man intrigue of this years to 20 was and still remains whether hates member is, will be at all able to come to a consensus over the final declaration as the group which brings together 19 o. the world's major economist, glossy. you is torn apart by internal divisions over how to approach russia, ukraine conflict. the document used to be signed on wednesday instead of a la, voracious foreign minister said that some western countries wanted this document to
9:14 pm
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 rushing, included in that is absurd, of course. plus indo 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. the canadian security intelligence service has rolled that the countries freedom convoy approach us movement did not pose a threat to national security. a revelation which clashes with the government's earlier decision to invoke the emergencies act. at no point did the service assess that the protests in ottawa or elsewhere constituted a threat to the security of canada. canadian security intelligence service did not assess that any foreign states supported the protest through funding that foreign
9:15 pm
states deploy disinformation techniques or that any foreign state actors attempted to enter into canada to support the protest. last february convoys of truck driver's blockaded streaks in ottawa protesting against covey. 19 mandates and government mismanagement. i'm calling for true those resignation, the prime minister then in the emergency act and the bid to end the protest. the move extended the government's power and was questioned by legal activists. canadian lawyer and legal commentator david fry hi says that the police response to the movement was too violent, especially given the lack of a threat from basically or day to the very last day when the police came in heavy handed. holy militarize police force. so by don't be surprised. everybody knew it was an overreach at the time. the justification at the time was that there was a blockade of the bachelor bridge critical infrastructure for anybody who's been
9:16 pm
watching this public emergency commission. we all knew it from the time. the emergency, zach was invoked, the ambassador bridge blockade had been resolved, would be a court order by the time be emergency act was invoked. there was no national rent threat to infrastructure threat to overstate what we're seeing through the inquiry is that even by today's own recognition, the provinces had all the resources they need to put an end to it. but it went on for a little too long embarrass, just intrude on each national scale and his underlining testicle. and all of this was what prizes and punishing the protesters to what they did, which is why a lot of people thinking, bought the act on the one hand to punish them. but on the other hand, to try to trigger a while a response from them to sort of retroactively justify in boca yeah, top you as defense officials suggest ukraine would be better narrowing its goals and cementing recent military gains at the bargaining table with moscow that
9:17 pm
however hasn't stopped nato secretary general from insisting ukraine should continue fighting your plane us. they said they're ready to negotiate. but to also of course, no. thus her, 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 your crane and to strengthen their hand. i'd like to know who made young stolen burke, 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 and 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 frantic. so who exactly is still timbered speaking for here, wish actual military experts and that'll giving us a name so we can assess and decide for ourselves if they're credible for him or is
9:18 pm
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 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 stoughton berg, who may or may not have gone to war with the photocopier and ended up with a paper kind is also saying that negotiation is the best off ramp ukrainians are in bad shape. they're not prepared for what's coming, the russian. so now repeatedly at night demonstrated their ability to target
9:19 pm
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 kershawn 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 and made the intense fighting incur song and who see it not as a victory, but instead is 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
9:20 pm
it wants peace. british defense minister ben wallace apparently wants the west to continue to enable keith's 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 thus 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 any one except maybe their shareholders. just like no one elected, yan 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. as washington steps up as adverse to
9:21 pm
persuade more countries to act against russia, key american partner, the u 8, has refused to take sides. according to the arab countries, presidential adviser, the u. a. he 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. abu dhabi is an important partner of washington in the gulf region, with 5000 american troops now stationed in the emeralds. however, several of us democratic congressman have called for those folders to be pulled out from the u, a. e. that's after the opec plus group which includes the amorous agreed to flashes oil production, 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 abra davi has been meddling in american politics and accusing the
9:22 pm
error country of activities resembling espionage. the us eat, denies the accusations, and says its influence in the us as a product of decades of cooperation and diplomacy. international studies expert a neuron hutch enjoy says that the american allegations are an attempt to hit back at the u. e for its foreign policy stands. this was a dime wren. just before this of a month ago, president biden tried to number one, ask of old sake, especially the saw these to cut down oil production receive back to you to use. second, there was a sabotage of the, of a pipeline and the saudis, and on the oh 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
9:23 pm
u a by saying that they were intervening awful. they had to rush earlier that they were into reading and then you know, these know provocation sought and lead to something bigger. so i think another will also say that look of v for, for working with all sides and we no longer kind of satellites safe to the us. we don't want to be that as the world cup football turn of it prepares to kick off on sunday and guitar, that us national team has redesigned this logo to incorporate aflac symbolizing gay pride. now homosexuality is illegal in guitar and the country has drawn scorn from european lawmakers and human rights organizations for alleged miss treatment of it's l g b t community. that's why guitars, labor minister, to claim that western media is conducting a smear campaign of his country,
9:24 pm
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 the 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 can't, i can't find it really insulting, i think when you go to someone's country, you respect laws, you respect the culture, even if you don't like it, you respect to you by the law. but what's not, western media is encouraging for this particular one that got to cut, that is break country law. so cutter is a place where homosexuality is bam, it's legal. and what we've seen over the last year or so it's, you know, politics needs to be kept out of school, basically because it's in russia expand. we've seen all this, you know, pro ukraine propaganda with the world's most famous sportsman, being used as
9:25 pm
a kind of propaganda device. we've seen, you know, palestinians or arabs find and, and, and band for kind of waiting palestinian flags and stadiums. i think the way ford is literally key politics as we cannot agree. there are no universal human values. we can't agree, so let's respect each other and keep politics on sport completely. ah, one of the world's largest crypto currency exchanges after tax has filed for bankruptcy. the crypto market responded by time linked to a 2 year low and the collapse of f t. x came after journalist exposed financial problems at the exchange which led to panic. investors trying to withdraw their assets with that t x failing to pay at the exchange was also accused of being a financial front for the us democratic party. as our team donald corridor explains crypto market crash, at least $1000000000.00 just missing and
9:26 pm
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
9:27 pm
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 been freed. 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 dr. 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 that 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, there are 2 large don't i don't is to the,
9:28 pm
to the democrats over the last say, 12 to 18 months. first one was george soros. the person that comes number 2 with some bank 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 to use his own money. or did he use other people's just how common is it for crypto markets like f t x to wise and for so quickly? well, i don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this. and i'd say that this, this wasn't really a crypto 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, at, 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
9:29 pm
from investors and take money from people who 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 for the crypt, currency industry of billions of dollars of allegedly vanished into thin air from f t x. is there any way to track the money? well, this is in your den. 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, particularly the fcc have been really cool with, you know, we've been in court with trousers 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 got it in their pocket if they do, or whether it just dissipate into thin air. as you said, that's all for now. be sure to check out our t v dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here at the top of the hour.
