ah, a ah, your headlines off you international as europe's largest nuclear power plant comes under attack. moscow says that, but always your facility has being shelled by 13 times over the weekend. although ukraine's nuclear energy agency is accusing russia license to cause trouble plants by kosovo, to find those in the breakaway province with so be a number plates on that cause, sparking tensions and phase of escalation. also

in the program kia back to track on claims that russia was behind a deadly missile strike on polish territory. as it admits parts of the projectile, i'd likely ukrainian thought for the u. s. nato. and it was, or official say it was more with certain lead launched by a ukrainian air defense system. also ahead for $11800000.00 is going to assistance including for direct budget support. the question is, is the ukraine now the 51st state of the united states of america, u. s. republicans quoting the account, every last sent to financial aid, allocated a key of the party wins partial controller with well, a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at all t internationally to moscow you just in time for the weekly program, the main headline sub today and of the week. so europe's largest nuclear power plant in what ology has once again come under attack. the russian defense minister

reclaims ukrainian forces fired more than a dozen rounds of artillery shells at the site in the last 24 hours. however, the reports say that ukraine's nuclear power agency who's accused moscow of cowering out the strikes. meantime, the head of the international atomic energy agency has called for protection zone around the plot. and for an end to the shelling which does risk a catastrophic nuclear incident. here's our senior correspondent bo, this is the 2nd day that's ukrainian, artillery has been shelling this upper ocean nuclear power plant, the largest in europe yesterday about a dozen lodge cannibal shells. artillery shells struck the territory of the nuclear power plant, the facilities that they're already significantly damaged and repaired multiple times by previous ukrainian strikes. to day, again,

twice they have launched more than a dozen shelves in totality. again, at the nuclear power plant, we knew a could well according to reports from the scene from authorities. there are what a vote was. several of the shells struck a coolant, pulitzer, the facilities, housing, the coolant pools, which pump coolant to the react is to prevent a meltdown. several more shelves. a said to have struck nuclear waste dry storage facilities. yet more shelves struck power lines. these a power lines that feed all the system safety systems, the coolant system, the waste management systems that feed the power plant that allow for its continued operation. it is unclear what those lodge caliber shells were launched by the weapons in particular. but there are, there are too many choices, either the, the, the soviet made systems that you can add in. it's also houses of but to,

but it is running low in those. it is entirely likely that the shelves fired at the nuclear power station may been launched by u. s. and native supplied m 777 houses. for example, caesar self propelled artillery. canons, again showing the the, the danger of supplying you can continuing to supply ukraine with, with such large caliber, devastating artillery systems or 155 millimeter 152 millimeter caliber shell can do a lot of damage. of course the facilities, the new, the reactors themselves are. those are all upper osha power plant are reinforced. they were built up by the, by the soviet administration, way back when they were, they were built with, you know, the cold boy and mine so, so, so that is something that allows for a little bit of optimism that they won't be able to break through those develop

defenses i immediately nevertheless, striking a thea coolant systems and the power lines that is what led to catastrophe and fukushima. for example, when, when the tsunami there destroyed the, the many safety systems that allowed the nuclear power plant to remain in operation, we have the i a, a now ringing, alarm bells, again calling for an immediate cease rob the ukrainian side, already various sources. they're blaming russia again for shelling itself, just as they did of blame russia for striking a poland. for example, when it emerged immediately after the de wasn't russia that it was ukraine behind that strike. similarly, it has already been proved that ukraine has struck at the nuclear power station or before in the months prior to today's and yesterday's events. nevertheless,

there hasn't been a lot of pressure internationally on ukraine to stop this random shilling. that is, you're putting the entirety of the european continent at risk because if god forbid, worst happens and there is a meltdown that is approaching nuclear power plant the, the largest in europe, there is no telling where the radiation the fall out, which way the winds will blow it. serbia's precedent is warned of all hell breaking out in kosovo. if the breakaway province goes ahead with controversial plans to find anyone driving in the area with serbian license plates, the move is expected to come at a force tomorrow. a last minute talks are due between both sides. although serbia's president doesn't hold out much hope. if he wanted to postpone the decision, he would have postponed it earlier. could he? it showed that he does not want subs in kosovo. montoya, the casa,

i please have nothing to look for in the north of kaltura and metal here. and then we would have hell on the ground, in that case, so be, it will stand by its people, and the subs will defend their hoffen home. and while the fines will thought on monday from april next year, felice will be handed the power to seize cars with serbia. a suit plates now in protest at the new regulations, a subs from northern kosovo, working in all public institutions resigned on mass earlier this month. the e u. s. foreign policy chief warned a survey and cause of over on the brink of a dangerous crisis, blaming what he called unnecessary, uncounted, productive tensions well crossing live now to political analyst, alexander of habits. joining us live here on the sunday week, a program. great to see you today. welcome to this program what, what, what do you think is the subbing president? his warned of helena, if nothing is achieved in these talks. now tell me this, is that a negotiating technique perhaps to worry the other side into making concessions or

is he? is it really that serious? well, the thing is, you know, the other side is just supposed to meeting the cost of all danny inside and i'll break away province. they're just supposed to pull their part of the agreement, which they signed more than 9 years ago and they haven't fulfilled any parts of it . so really, you know, serbia and it's presidents not expecting any sort of concession they're expecting, placed in the course all day inside to just do its part. and they're also expecting the western brokers meaning be due in the 1st place and the us to force police cannot to abide by what it sign in 2013. and so far, you know, it's been more than 9 years. they just haven't been and they just haven't done it with the same as with the ukrainian side and the minutes of your agreement,

they never put any pressure on here. is manage to it. same with the cost of all beings. darren put any pressure on them to fulfill what they signed and brussels in 2013. and this is why we have the crisis. wanted to pick you up on that because alex on the european countries have repeatedly called on christina to postpone the new license plate rules. and yet the brakes republic appears fairly resistant to all appeals. why do you think that it will because you know these appeals, they're just verbal, you know, the west, as we all know, they have all sorts of instruments for putting pressure on anyone that they deem to be on cooperative. so, you know, they, you, sanctions, humanitarian bombings, interventions, etc. they've never sanction any, you know, the k or other albanian leaders who obstructed these agreements,

which were signed under western osby c. so, you know, in fact, you know, when, when the west said they're appealing, well, they don't appeal, they don't appeal to moscow. they don't appeal to belt. when they use pressure, your sanctions, they use threats, they use extra legal arrests kidnappings. they don't use any of those instruments in cost of when against the prime minister of so called costs are 14, which means that they're not really serious. they're actually they're actually allowing her to try to get a better deal than what he's signed to. meaning that serbia as one supposed to make more concessions, that's what the worst would really want. but i think that the survey in president has drawn a red line and he's saying that you know no concessions until the oversight fulfills everything that had signed up on alex on. let's just remind you as quickly here the serbians president has warned, of all hell, breaking out and cause about if the breakaway province does go ahead with

controversial plans to find any one driving in the area with so be an license plates. i wanted to ask you because to, to an outsider, a route of a number plates may not seem like that big of a deal. so why is it causing such tensions? alexander will because symbolically it's a very, it's very important because if the serbs and costs are low specially in the north of castillo, which borders serbia proper, if they agree to use license plates of the so called republic, a personal survey doesn't recognize which most of the world doesn't recognize, that means it's a tacit recognition. and implicit recognition of costs or the state and serbian policy of course doesn't recognize school so, so that's a big deal for the up. so on the other hand, you know what to do on the personal side, they want to all for serbia to recognize them in any way,

shape or form and license plate. so one way of doing it, so that's that's, that's what it comes down to. and of course, once again, since the west, they're the ones who have the authority. there is a visual mediators empowered by the general assembly of b, u. n. to be the mediators, you know, there was supposed to just say what each side needs to do, and it's all written down on paper. so, you know, serves, don't have to accept republic up costs of a license plate that doesn't, it's not written anywhere in the agreement. you know, so what do you want us violating agreement? as you know, that's why we have this. that's why we have this crisis. and you know, the service president keeps saying that all hell may break loose because quote, he has previously sent in special police forces into the north. of course of all the beat up serbs, billions. you know they, they abuse them. and you know,

that's something that serbia can afford to lead happen again. and then also something that's not getting that much attention there in the western press as well . alex on the give me, forgive me for jumping in quickly, but i wanted to ask you, because are we looking at external intervention here? nato peacekeepers have previously said that they are ready to act in case of a further escalation between serbia and cause about me. could it come to that and do you think nato would want to get involved in the form of peacekeepers? well look, you know, they, you know, nato should, they should have prevented previous incursions into the north, on the, on the part of the coastal a special police force that they have not allowed in person. again, you know what, what choices serbia happy and they just can't keep allowing their own people to be, you know, maltreated of yours by this very hostile police force. you know, so ultimately natal is the responsibility to prevent and you incursion by on the

part of the costs while banyon spent versus what police or whatever other units to are, you know, come in to the north and abuse and mistreats civilians once again. so it's up to natal so far they haven't been doing their job or alex, forgive me, i'm running very low on time here. just squeeze out one more question if i may. what about the impact alexander of the, of the resignation and protest of all the subs working in public institutions and northern cause of how, how can all these resignations affect the situation? because we're talking, for example, about public servants and the police as well? well let you know, i am 2013 serbia made a huge concession by actually making they are people in the north of course of a join the so called costs when situations there was a huge concession, but it was, you know, it was all dependent on the other side, respecting this brussels agreement, it hasn't respected it at all in almost 10 years. so you know,

this was the last straw and serbia had to do something. but it's left a power vacuum in slip left and institutional vacuum in in north. and i think the west is worried about that, but you know, service can't go back on it because you know, you can't just keep taking blows and not responding. it just doesn't work. people are going to move. you know, the rest of the serbs are going to move out of 1st of all, which is something that actually the serbian president said that the coastal obedient side wants they want to cleanse costs. some of the remaining serbs down so far they're doing their part to make it happen. basically making statements and offering analysis the mainstream media just dares to neglect to alexander povlovich a political analyst, great to have you on the program. thank you for your thought. thank you. thank you and thank you for joining us for the weekly on r c. so 5 people have been killed,

18 more wounded. this sort of mass shooting at a gay nightclub in colorado. and a deadly incident happened in the us state on saturday night. now, according to reports, the assailant is a 22 year old male to open fire on the patrons of club q and the city of colorado springs. one of the injured is the suspect, himself. he's being treated in custody. the police chief said that 2 people inside the club confronted and fought with the gunman and prevented further violence details. however, on the attack, his motives remain unclear at this time. so one of the biggest doors of the week that have a key of back tracking on his previous claims that a missile, which had a polish village this week killing to was fired by russia. ukrainian air force spokesperson has conceited that several pods of the projectile are apparently ukrainian. while president zalinski, who initially said the missile had come from the russian military,

despite adamant denials from moscow. well, so appeared to change his perspective on the incident. have a listen to this scheme. here is how many times as ukraine said, that the actions of the terrorist state will not be limited to our country alone. pissing nato territory with miss isles. this is a russian missile attack on collective security. this is a really significant escalation. hello. action is needed. so i was, i don't know what happened this time. we don't know 100 percent. i think the world also does know what happened on present in that situation. we have to be fair and honest until the investigation is over. yeah, but to give you some background in that case. so a miss all crashed in a polish village near the ukrainian border on tuesday, killing 2 civilians. a number of polish and ukrainian government officials were quick to point the finger at russia, but later in fact, pretty soon after frankly, polish nato and u. s. officials said it was most likely a ukrainian air defense miss al, that had vito, of course,

even some polish politicians called for an apology from kiev and even compensation for the families of the victims. now, the incident did lead to a pretty rev public rift between ukraine and its western allies. jo biden's, national security advisor was reported to have asked he of officials to tread carefully with the accusations. the u. s. president himself also reported he refused to speak with a lensky on the phone afterwards. in fact, for now his how the american leader responded when asked about ukraine's version of events. i well, despite her worked on officials, including joe biden saying, there was a lack of evidence. the western media outlets went on the wall passed plastering accusations that russia was to blame for a quote. well, that of a talking and nato country and putting the planet on the brink of world war 3. well,

let's lift the lid, shall we come to find the details? marina calls her ever a correspondent. the media can be very powerful and very dangerous, especially during the time of war. one misleading statement could settle a chain of events which could change the world as we know it. and we were almost on the brink of world war 3 this week. when the western media started reporting with certain see that a russian missile had landed in poland, a senior us intelligence official says fresh and miss as crossed into nature. men that poland, killing 2 people as senior u. s. intelligence official, there was no proof of anything at the time. only the 1st images of the blast images which showed what appeared to be fragments oven as a $300.00 rocket. that's part of a soviet era missile defense system that t of continues to used today. 6 but that, that a matter to the west,

the russians were, of course, to blame. and within minutes, this story spread like wildfire with politicians and journalists, started calling on nato to at sac russia and invoke articles 4 and 5, which mandate member states to determine a collective response. whenever one of them is it's hacked and then it turned out that it was probably a ukrainian missile that crossed into poland. awkward to say the least. but it took several hours for a p to correct their version of the story. you would have thought that you asked me there would be more careful with their reporting, especially after their epic blunders with the invasion of iraq. for example, when ever almost sold on the premise of weapons of mass destruction, which were never found. we have found a number of instances of covers that was not as rigorous as it should have been. in

some cases, information that was controversial then, and seems questionable now, was insufficiently qualified, or allowed to stand unchallenged. looking back, we wish we had been more aggressive in re examining the claims as new evidence emerged or failed to emerge. we should have warned readers, we had information the basis for this was shaky than widely believed. those are exactly the kind of statements that should be published on the front page. and we're seeing the same thing. play out all over again and never stop to really remember the syrian chemical attack or the good duffy viagas story. or the un claims about the russian army supply and its soldiers with via gra, because he says he, the family. when you see the women and girls have been held for days and buildings and raped when you hear the testimony of these women who tell you about russian soldiers equipped with way, agra m. o. another thing, it is clearly a military strategy. a prank call later revealed that she had no evidence to back

up those claims. it was just what she was told by ukrainian officials, but the truth didn't matter at that point did it's, the damage had already been done. and now it's as good as facts. well, those who watch western media, no apologies, no retractions, nothing new for their us. well, i had several jobs. one of my jobs was that of analyst. i also was an interrogator, and indeed, brief the press. when we see i wanted to circulate this information on a particular issue. this information is not necessarily, not necessarily a lie and maybe a half truth. and we would pick out a journalist. i would go do the briefing and hope that he would put the information in print half truths and this information. so there's real journalism, that's the recipe for success. american style, nearly every wall that has started in the past 50 years, has been

a result of media alive and the media could have stopped it. he said, search deep enough. if there hadn't reprinted government propaganda, they could have stopped it. but what does that mean? well that means basically population spend like was and populations have to be fooled into walls. so next time you see a headline in the mainstream media, don't be so quick to judge tweets or jump to conclusions because for all, you know, it might be a fake story generated to get a particular result. sometimes with undesirable consequences. and this week that could have been world war 3 for my colleague union or neil spoke with broadcast and author action for tansy, who highlighted the dangers and ultimately the recklessness of careless reporting about the ukraine conflict. we've seen the

a so c has the closest we got to global annihilation, an a p associated press and all its fellow nato nations to know, go for media masquerading as journalists brought us to the edge before it was hastily rode back. and i should say, in fairness and well, we must give our condolences to the 2 polish farmers killed by a zalinski. his forces at these native diplomats have been briefing that zalinski is a liar. and i'm not sure how that to affairs in the state department, given how many tens of billions of dollars has been handed to what nato officials are, briefing privately, as quoted in the, even the mainstream media. now, 2 nations, as it has a lie, the timeline here is started with lamar zalinski, immediately calling on nato countries to react. then the a p story comes out. and then the fact start to emerge. there's a backwardness to all that, isn't there? everyone who went so quickly to assume that nato circled article 5 was be invoked,

i think, should be discounted from future. a geopolitical stories because they are dangerous sources that endanger the whole of humanity. but of course, already those who support the nature of act forces are saying this will be forgotten very quickly. a number of us republicans have demanded that no more money be sent to ukraine, while also calling for an audit of the previous batch. the biden administration dispatched hi time to stop sending any more money. don't send another penny to the ukraine and to start auditing where the money went. we're funding you crane's budget. with it, with trauma, $11800000000.00 is going to assistance, including for direct budget support. the question is, is ukraine. now the 51st state of the united states of america. and what position does the lensky have in our government? this is outrageous,

and the american people deserve answers. the audit demand follows the us having already spent nearly $55000000000.00 on aid to ukraine. this year with 37000000000, an extra help requested by biden from congress. well, it is, get this 20 percent more money than the entire annual defense budget of that of the russian federation. well, a bitter battles and washington politics suddenly ramped up a gear, the power dynamic shifts in the united states. of course, it comes off to the republicans winning back control of the lower chamber of congress this week, setting up what really should be a difficult 2 years ahead of the biden administration to push through policies. however, even that is not the biggest issue for the american leader, the g. p has promised to investigate joe biden himself, his team, and his family's business dealings. our investigation is about joe bud. and we already have evidence that would point that joe biden was involved with hunter

biden, only so, so we won't the bank records and that's our, that's our focus. we're trying to stay focused on was joe biden directly involved with hunter biden's business deals, and is he compromised? that's our investigation. we were talking just a bit earlier with ross hyde u. s. air force lieutenant colonel kirkwood koski. now, she believes that washington's policy towards ukraine is primarily driven by big business interests and profit. the united states defense establishment is making a lot of money, you know, to via the american taxpayer. in depleting all of our reserves, old weapons sending them to ukraine. that freeze up production lines for more of what we want and then of course, justifies demand to the congress that our own budget, our own military budget can be increased. so this is something that i think benefits. it's viewed by american government, people, as you know, it benefits it,

benefits america, not in the way that we think of a war, but just in the way we think of a business military business, the next house of representatives that will be sworn in in january, many of them do not see the benefit of conducting this proxy war and funding this proxy war in ukraine. it's very clear that we don't have the resources to throw away anywhere and certainly not to conduct a proxy war that has no real benefit to the security of americans. yes, i have been a really busy week here at auto international for your happy things. world wide headlines. thank you so much for joining us for the south. addition of the weekly, we will be back soon with more of your top.

i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. and the point obviously is to great trust rather than fear a various job with artificial intelligence. real summoning with a robot most protective phone existence with ah, the washington are almost completely removed from day to day large, the american people. and so the american people, i believe it provided good information left to their own devices. we're trying to

on far more recent foreign conclusions than are coming to about well with the republic of moldova ranks is one of the poorest countries in europe, a political issue. my good mother. when you visit annual g d. p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. and even that cultural amount is mainly made up of remittances central abroad by migrant, mo.
