ah thought ah, pullin says it cannot confirm who is behind an alleged missile attack on its territory. this as moscow denies any involvement, noting that the fragments are not related to russian weaponry using ukraine. meanwhile, the u. s. as is unlikely, the missile was russian due to its trajectory. while some nato states have already called to implement the alliances article 5 triggering a collective military response with floss, while the west pushes it to bring agenda most of the world and once a peaceful solution. that's the message from russia's foreign minister at the ongoing k 20 summit.

ah, from mosque out of the world. this is our international. i'm rachel blevins here with the top stories of the our welcome to the program. poland says it doesn't have any evidence to confirm who might have launched an alleged missile attack on its territory. that's as the russian defense ministry says. the fragments which have reportedly been found at the site do not resemble any armament currently used by the russian military statements by polish media and officials about in the legit russian missile strike are 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, with 70 kilometers from the nearest reported target struck by russia. moscow has been conducting stripes on multiple targets, around ukraine throughout tuesday. now let's take a look at some unverified images, reportedly from this theme. you can see damage vehicles, any rule area, missile fragments reportedly found at the site are also visible. the polish foreign ministry said the missile was, quote, russian made not stating exactly who launched it. that says, some reports say the alleged fragments are from a soviet as 300 air defense missile, a 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 baltics have accused russia directly attacking the block and called for an immediate reaction. ukraine's president zalinski has said, russia should quote, be put in his 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 member states as poland as part of the alliance, a military attack on that country could trigger direct involvement from other nato forces. however, nato's talk military power. the us doesn't seem to be as confident as, as partners and invoking article 5 joe biden says the missiles were unlikely to be fired by russia, with the pentagon, admitting the washington that washington can not confirm whether they were used by the russian military. 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 government and our partners to gather more information and assess exactly what will happen. we're going to do that. we want to determine what will happen in permanent or 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 public 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 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 statement is that they need more information before making a solid decision poet laureate, areas 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 your international experts, including from the us, 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, 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, where 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 u. s. should appoint examiners of the equipment, ensure 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 experts say, 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. now all of this comes as ukrainian cities remain without electricity after russia has reportedly conducted around $85.00 strikes and ukrainian infrastructure that's according to authorities and key at r t correspondent morale gaz. diaz 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 all over the country. lowball network operators 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 lynch,

while the russian military. the euclidian saga said the claim that $85.00 various shrikes, most of them cruised with salt, were lodged at various critical infrastructures such. but you claim claims that 70 of those missiles what was shot dog. these should be of course, taken with a grain of salt. all of this information goes through military censorship. across the border in the russian region of belgrade. the city of shit back now has been shelled 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 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 deepen over the conflict and ukraine. ah, most of the world has not cited 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 ortiz maria phenomena is there with more details. well, many expected this year's d 20 to be tough for russia ahead of the global gather and here in indonesia is bali longdon, for example. sad that the venue could be used to confront moscow and call 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 they summoned 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 or to be a push in 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. for 3rd world countries calling for a peaceful settlement for agreements, they know perfectly well with this processes hindered 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 thrasher. while china said that russia too important to be excluded from global forum. rights 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 shift 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 mind. short periods of mutual understanding with the european union evaporate quickly, just to die. i had a brief conversation with president micron, reaffirmed his intention to maintain contact with vladimir putin to find some kind of agreement and resolve the whole situation as he put it in force. i told him once

again, all the problems are on the ukrainian side, which categorically refuses any negotiations and puts forward, obviously unrealistic conditions that are inadequate in this situation. the man intrigue over 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 is to be signed on wednesday instead of a lover of russia's. foreign 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 was india, china. saudi arabian brazil refused to move in,

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. former you as president donald trump has announced he will be running any 2024 presidential race this amend speculation that he could face fears competition from florida's governor randi santos, to become the republican party's next nominee. 2 years under joe biden has been a time of pain hardship, anxiety, and despair as we speak, inflation is the highest in over 50 years. gas prices have reached the highest levels in history and expect them to go much higher in order to make america great . glorious again, i am to night announcing my candidacy for president for

more on the thought cross live now to r. t contributor and host of the new r t. show the 360 view scotty. now hughes, scotty. it's great to have you on the program to day now to say that this announcement was highly anticipated, would be an understatement. so what did you make of the speech that trump gave as he finally confirms that? yes, he is in fact running again. well, rachel, as you mentioned this a, was it no surprise as this had been the river basically, since the day that donald trump had lost the 2020 election. it seemed like he was already restarting it next campaign. and tonight he confirmed it at a full room event of mainly supporters there at mara lago. now the actual announcement itself was almost what you would consider to be the same things that you would hear at a trump rally. he went all the way down, starting at the very beginning, talking about how well that he had filed his paperwork with the fcc had talked about that america's come back starts right now. he went down to long resume of

everything that he did when he was in office, everything that he accomplishes. while he was an officer and obviously he took some very hard, knocked at what he believed that president joe biden had done. and how he's hurt this country, not only domestically, but internationally, since he's coming off is just 2 years later. now what's interesting is that he did, he had bided on your key talking points. the red meat for the audience, inflation energy policy, southern border crime, fitness afghanistan, as well as ukraine, where he also talked about the fact he even personally when kind of out on a limb and talked about the rocket attempt that it was on that have been tried saying that he believed was from russia, even though as you report in the previous 2 segments that had not been confirmed. but he did say that he believed that this conflict would not be happening. ukraine, if he was still president. pretty a boldest statement. now the biggest thing that came out of this was china. he did

not necessarily talk much about russia legend, but he did very aggressively talk about his deals with china and how he believes that china is still tave. that there is an imbalance. the tray deal, and he wanted to make sure that if you put it back in office, that he was going to put the supply chain back in the united states despite everything the joe biden was doing talking. and like i said, this is the same kind of rhetoric that we've heard the last 6 years and, and definitely the same for but i have to tell you rachael, there was something that even at the political commentators on both sides said that it was kind of not the normal energy that you would have expected from donald trump that you'd heard in the past that he was trying to, as you said, make it very elegant in his speech. and because of that, he only attacked the media, the fake news. once in his speech, wow, that is fascinating especially that comment there about the media. i know he really included a lot in that speech and that was kind of interesting to hear him throw out that comment about the latest between russia and ukraine,

especially given the reports that have come out since then. we'll see if he changes his tune at all, but of course americans have been through a lot over the last couple of years and when it comes to a g o p, front runner, trump is not necessarily the only person in their minds. we also have to bring up florida governor randi santa. he of course, had a landslide victory by nearly 20 points in his state recently. so clearly, republican voters like him. do you think that this is going to be a tough bed for that nomination for trump, especially if he is going up directly against someone like de santis? well, it will be interesting to see right to my personal prediction, looking at right now that coverage can't just will not actually go one on one truck . it depends on who else is going to get in the field. that's where this gets interesting. you are to hear, have pompei o secretary of state pompeo, who puts a lot of fear in the international community, even the neo con community. they are champion him. that is already putting it out there that he will, vice president,

my pin to the media has absolutely hated the last 6 years. all of a sudden he's the darling as he's doing it, done interviews with a b, c as well as c. and i doing a live channel one more quick note talking about that tonight. oddly enough, you know, trump had to leverage every major media source in the west. it took his speech for live, except for one, and it was a long speech. this was almost over an hour. we're looking at this gums an hour and 14 minutes in his speech. so for that to be once again devoted time by western media, that's free media that once again donald trump arrives on. yeah, that's a great point, and it'll be interesting to see if we get those to teaming up, especially if joe biden is, in fact, remaining the democratic nominee and 2024. now when it comes to donald trump, i mean we think back to who he was in 2016, and i know that you followed him all the way through and back. then he kind of presented himself as this anti establishment candidate. someone who the american

people could relate to. how are we seeing a trump going in to 2024? you mentioned a little bit of a different tune from him. but what do you think that his race is actually going to look like when it comes to the points that he's going to be heading on? and the places where he's going to try to once again went over the american people . all right, so that's the thing is we have 2 different opportunities to look at. we have 2016 and his announcer, which actually happened in july of june of 2015 when he came down that gold escalator, very dramatic, didn't necessarily have his larger crowd because people were looking at him as doing this sort of as a celebrity on a p r stuff and they soon quickly found out that he was actually speaking to the masses of the conservative movement and they got quickly behind him. but that wasn't very dramatic. it was definitely one of those that was just really, truly grassroots, as most people were not really taking him seriously for several weeks before they considered to be present. this time he was in his own place. once again, even the trump hotel was his own. this is more along with the closed bar and filled

with people that were known to be supporters. those have been probably the ones that had stuck with them despite everything that's going on the last 2 years. i've been out of office. and it was interesting when they panned the room, you read people like roger stone, or you had the editor at large of bright bark that was in there. you had a lot of those conservative, nice outlets that will definitely already they're writing their articles and pushing them as well. we're part of that crowd that was there. so he's going into this with this great base that he's already established at the same time. one of the appeals to trump is that he was an outsider, that people thought that he was going to be able to work the miracles. i'm to find out, he did it, and that's one of the reasons why he lost in 2020. so now not only does he have a, when he has a loss on his record, which can be very damaging for any candidate, but especially a presidential candidate going into a 3rd run. it will just depend on how well he gets out there. how will i can basis message, how well he tries to make people remember the hope that he inspired in 2016 as

opposed to despair that he gave. he gave us in 2020 all from one l accent to another. i guess we can officially say that the race is now on our team. contributor. scottie now hughes, thank you so much for your time to now says and be sure to check out her new show the 360 view right here on our to international o. i senior iranian human rights official has slammed coverage or protest in the country by u. k. based media, calling it an unlawful anti iranian campaign. and comparing the persian language outlets to terror groups. the official also claimed that the british government is responsible for the negative coverage. now this comes as the western media claims that 15000 protesters had been sentenced to death and iran. during the past few months of protest, tehran says those reports are baseless. more than $220.00 members of the iranian parliament have asked the countries course to punish those responsible for the protest. however,

the lawmakers have denied making any calls for mass executions. tehran has also slammed, would it cause unsubstantiated claims on social media where some activists are condemning alleged crimes against humanity while calling for iranian officials to be held accountable. and american democratic congresswoman has also weighed in with her criticism of tehran and despite some previously violent crackdowns on protesters in several western countries. some european officials now claim that a ron's handling of its rioters is somehow out of line. something unprecedented is happening. the grand children of the revolution are carrying out a revolution and devouring it. the e. u strongly condemned the unacceptable violent crackdown of protesters. we stand with the iranian people in support, their right to protest peacefully and voiced their demands and views freely. the uranium 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, professor psy guide. mohammed bermonte says that the western media would have treated such protests 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 down in the western meal. english language media was encouraging violence and the murder police officers in england off come would immediately shut down the t. v station, the tv channel, and they would put these people on trial. we know how huge a protests 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 us national team has redesigned its logo to incorporate

a flag symbolizing gay pride. now, homosexuality is a legal and guitar, and the country has drawn scores from european lawmakers and human rights organizations. for a ledge mistreatment of its l. g b t community that slide it guitars, labor minister to claim that western media is conducting a smear campaign on his country, saying that politicizing sport is unacceptable. danny, 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 launched a campaign against casa in the run up to the world cup. despite the fact that culture is actually a key weston 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 rules, you respect the culture, even if you don't like it,

you respect to you by the law. but what's the western media is encouraging for us to do, particularly when the cuts cuts, it is break, cuts very low. so cutter is a place where homosexuality is, ma'am, 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 happening spam. 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, 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 asked what we cannot agree. there are no universal human values. we can't agree, so that's respect each other and keep politics for completely. the canadian security intelligence service has world that the countries freedom convoy protest movement did not pose a threat to national security. revelation which clashes with the government's

earlier decision to invoke the emergencies act. at no point to 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 state supported the protest through funding that foreign states deployed dis, information techniques for that. any foreign state actors attempted to enter into canada to support the protest. last february convoys of truck driver's blockaded streets and ottawa protesting against kobe 19 mandates and government mismanagement and calling for true those resignation. the prime minister that invoked the emergencies act in a bid to end the protest. the move extended the government's powers and was questioned by legal activist canadian lawyer and legal commentator david fry. hi, it says that the police response to the movement was too violent, especially given the lack of a threat from basic per day to the very last day. when the police came in heavy

handed, holy militarize, police force so vital the suppressed everybody knew it was an overreach at the time . the justification at the time was that there was a blockade of the in bachelor bridge critical infrastructure for anybody who's been watching this public emergency commission. we all knew it from the time the emergency. zach was invoked, the ambassador bridge blockade had been resolved, be a court order. by the time the emergency act was invoked, there was no national threat, 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 the special scale and his underlining technical. i know this was what prizes and punishing the project as to what they did, which is why a lot of people think even both on the one hand to punish them. but on the other

hand, to try to trigger a while and response from them to sort of retroactively justify in boca yeah, that's all for now. be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest breaking news and updates. we'll see you right back here with more at the top of the hour. ah, ah, ah ah ah,
