a a headlines on anti international that's europe's largest nuclear power plant comes under attack. moscow says the zappa ology facility has been shuttled by key 13 times over the weekend. although ukraine's nuclear energy agency is accusing russia. license to cause trouble fears or raise the plans by cause a vote to find those in the breakaway province with serbian number plates on that cause to escalate. already high tension here. backtrack on it is claims that russia was behind a deadly myth. all strike on polish territory. i did admit part of the projectile,

i'm more than likely ukrainian. i thought that the u. s. nato wood walls or officials say it was likely launched by a ukrainian at defense system. also ahead for $11800000.00 is going to assistance including for direct budget support. the question is, is ukraine now the 51st state of the united states of america as u. s. republicans pledge to counter every sent to financial aid allocate a big key of the party, wins partial control, alt congress with good to have you with us here for the sunday program from moscow, one r t international. this is the weekly with the top headlines up today and of the week. so europe's largest nuclear power plot ends up at all. she has once again come under attack. the russian defense minister,

reclaim ukrainian forces fired more than a dozen rounds of artillery shells at the site in the last 24 hours. however, it reports say that ukraine's nuclear power agency has accused moscow of cowering out the strikes. meantime, the head of the international atomic energy agency is called for a protection zone around the plant and for an end to the shelling which tells risk that if a catastrophic nuclear incident is our senior correspondent. but i guess they have, well, this is the 2nd day that's ukrainian. artillery has been selling this up at ocean nuclear power plant, the largest in europe yesterday about a dozen lodge caliber shells. artillery shells struck the territory of the nuclear power plant. the facilities are there 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 pool that sure 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 shells struck power lines. these a power lines that feed all the system safety systems, the coolant systems, the waste management systems that feed the power plant that allow for its continued operation that 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 soviet made systems that ukraine had in its hospital houses of but the,

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 100. 52 millimeter caliber shell can do a lot of damage. of course, the facilities, the new, the reactors themselves are, those are all zeros. your 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. the

defenses. i immediately, nevertheless, striking a dea coolant systems and the power lines. that is what led to catastrophe in 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, she's 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 da 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 he's, you're putting the entirety of the european continent at risk. because if god forbid, worst happens, and there is a meltdown that does approach a nuclear power plant the, the largest in europe, there is no telling where the radiation the fall out, which way the, the winds will blow it. it's cathy with us as so be as president, has warned, of hell on earth breaking off in the cause of if local police continue to mistreat serbian the residents of the breakaway province, idea escalation, told to do to take place between both sides on monday, although soviet president isn't holding out much customer lead at coats. he has shown that he does not want subs in kosovo. natasha, kosovo. police have no business in the north of kosovo, and montoya. otherwise we'll have hell on earth. so be, it will stand with its people in this case,

and subs will defend their homes with affairs of escalation combat, the breakaway province plans to go ahead with controversial ideas to find any one driving in the area with so being licensed bites again, they will be fine, the fines are expected to start on monday. however, from april next year, police will be handed the power to seize cars with serbia. a suit registrations in protest at the new regulations are subs from northern cause of o working in all public institutions resigned on mass earlier this month. the u. s . foreign policy, chief warren, that serbia and cause of over on the brink of a dangerous crisis. blaming what a cold quote, unnecessary and counterproductive tensions. my spoke earlier with political analyst alexandra package. he believed the self proclaimed cause of our lead has made the move in a bit to find any sort of recognition courtier plus obeying side they want to law for serbia to recognize them in any way,

shape or form, am licensed, placed on one way of doing it serves, don't have to accept re republic of coastal license plate. that doesn't, it's not written anywhere in the agreement. you know, so what it is, the one is violating agreements and you know, that's why we have this. so that's why we have this crisis in the west, as we all know, they have all sorts of instruments for putting pressure on any one that they deem to be on co operative. so you know, they, you sanctions, ah, humanitarian bombings, interventions, et cetera. they've never, sanctions, any, you know, the 40 or other albanian leaders for one obstruct. uh huh. these agreements, which were signed under western auspices. so, you know, in fact, you know, when, when the west said they're feeling well, they don't appeal, they don't appeal to moscow. they don't appeal to beltway. they use pressure,

do your sanctions, they use threat, they use extra legal arrests kidnappings. they don't use any of those instruments in castillo and against the prime minister of so called coastal court, which means that they're not really serious. you are watching the weekly, as 5 people were killed and 18, more wounded in a mass. shooting at a gate nightclub in colorado, the deadly incident happened to the u. s. state on saturday night. now, according to reports, they said it was a 22 year old male who opened fire on patrons at club q in the city of colorado springs. one of the injured is in fact, the suspect himself is being treated in custody. the police chief that the 2 people inside the club confronted and fought with the gun when preventing further violence . as we understand a details on the attack, his motives remain unclear at this time. one of the big stories of the week, a key of back tracking on his previous claims that a missile, which had

a polish village this week killing to was fined by russia. ukrainian air force or spokesperson has conceded that several parts of the projectile are apparently ukrainian with president zelinski, who initially said that the missile had, in fact come from the russian military. despite adamant denials from moscow. until then, he also appeared to change his perspective on the incident. how many times as you claim said that the actions of the terrorist state will not be limited to our country alone, pissing nato territory with missiles. this is a russian missile attack on collective security. this is a really significant escalation. action is needed 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 on us until the investigation is over. let's get you. give you some background on this story. so basically a missile crashed and

a polish village near the ukrainian border on tuesday, killing 2 civilians. a number of polish and ukrainian government officials were very quick to point the finger at russia, but soon after polish nato and us officials said it was most likely a ukrainian air defense, mis. all that would be, of course, in some polish politicians, even called for an apology from ki evan, for compensation as well for the families of victims. now, the incident led to a well, a rare public rift between ukraine in western allies is dro biden's. national security advisor was reported to a boss key of officials to tread carefully with her accusations. the u. s. president himself also reported, refused to speak with lindsey on the phone after the incident. though, here's how the american leader responded when asked about ukraine's version of events. i

feel like it's by western officials, including joe biden. they're saying there was a lack of evidence. the western media outlets just went on the warpath, a plastering accusations that russia was to blame for, quote, a, talking a nato country and putting the planet on the brink of world war 3. well, let's to lift a cup us here and get to the smaller fina details. is marina cost forever. 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 need, the us 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 of an as $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 pizza, 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 shakia then widely believed. those are exactly the kind of statements that should be published on the front page, and we're seeing the sale fell playout all over again, and never stopped. 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 goes

it says you 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 from 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 for those who watch western media, no apologies, no retractions, nothing new for the us. well, i had several jobs, one of my jobs was that of analysts. 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 visit 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 lives in the media could have stopped it. if i had searched even off. 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 earlier, my colleague union o'neill folk with broad costa and author action to return see who highlighted the dangers and ultimately that have the recklessness of callous reporting about the ukraine conflict. we've seen the associated press published claims on the missile, insolent and pollen citing anonymous sources that turned out to be wrong. they retracted the story somewhat, but i would suggest that few saw that apology compared to the initial flashy headlights. the year november 2022. in later years may be seen as the closest we got to global annihilation and ab associated press and all its fellow nato nations to know, grow for media masquerading as journalists brought us to the edge before it was hastily rode back in, i should say in fairness and while we must give our condolences to the 2 polish farmers killed by a zalinski 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 have briefing privately, as quoted in the, even the mainstream media. and they do 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 lab, isn't there? everyone who went so quickly to assume that nato circled article 5 will 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 back forces are saying this will be forgotten very quickly. a number of us republicans have demanded that no more

money be sent to ukraine. also calling for an audit of the previous a, the biden administration had 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 u. s. having already spent nearly $55000000000.00 on a to ukraine this year, with $37000000000.00, an extra help requested by biden, from congress. that is 20 percent more money than the entire annual defense budget of the russian federation. so bitter battles in washington politics have certainly

ramped up a gear. it's the power dynamic shifts in america, and comes off to the republicans, one back control of the lower chamber of congress this week. it's ultimately setting up a tough couple of years for the biden administration. to get his policies passed through. however, even that is not the biggest issue for the american leader, is the job he 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 will 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 earlier with retired a u. s. air force lieutenant colonel, karen crit 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, 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. so the festival of football that it's well that of the world cup was officially kicked off and cut out. but even before a single bowl had been booted the total, hoping, engulfed in controversy with focus on the planet best players taking a backseat to a host of other or some describe media driven. it's used as a photo isa. ali has this story from doha. this is for the 1st woke up to be held in a middle eastern country and so for billions of people around the world is a source of excitement. however, there are some who don't welcome that in much the same way. you can see an outpouring of criticism for kids are in the lead up to this. well, a lot of which is the most expensive in history. i some observations because

often over $200000000000.00 organizing this more than any other well together, a lot of these, all of you that the infrastructure that building is not just in the world cup that will be used going forward and they've been planning to update things like travel moves and so on, but criticism has been coming in the form of accusation number's been plucked out from the guardian for example, say 6 and a half 1000 workers died in the building of the stadiums. you know, with closer inspection at 6 and a half 1000 number is the total number of migrate that it cuts up since they won that well, cup bed is not linked to working on site. another line of attack from the western media has been around cultural issues, things like to talk and their rules around drinking alcohol. a big outpouring because just in the past few days, changing their minds using the alco not be stuff in stadiums. and of course around

l g b t, right, as well, an issue which of course and much of the world is alien before europeans for north americans in particular, seems to be the priority. linda, right, that trump school of human rights, this onslaught has been seen and the knots of accusations that it's a talker. see, and no less than the fee for. ready present gianni in santino himself yesterday in dough giving an impassioned plea, criticizing people have a more arabic and colonial as cheap towards cutoff that's i've had focuses on the other side when you pretend to have a moral and give moral lessons to others. but in reality, your situation is maybe not that good either. i think for what we europeans have been doing in the last 3000 years around the world. we should be apologizing for

next 3000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people. and the categories from there parts have been asking people to come here. they've been welcoming all people and saying come and enjoy football. and they to get asking people not to politicize. the events here like many that question, whether for example, those quoting, for boy quotes of hell will do the same for america when they co host walcott in 2026 and asking for example, whether american human rights recruit. some would say that racist approach to how they'll treat the african american population, the prison population that finds afford and so and, and yet that doesn't seem to be from one perspective, at least much in terms of criticism for the united states being allowed to post. next woke up and of course you sort of find the criticism in the lead up to the world. in russia, accusations of russia hooligans, we're going to attack people who've visited the country. of course,

no such thing transpired. and of course, accusations. well, few ne, in china, where they are posting the winter olympics in beijing so much in terms of people's criticism for what they see is weston hypocrisy. and the 2 tier approach to how human rights, of course law appreciate you joining us here and off international as we come to from moscow. it's right now nearly half past 9 on sunday evening. it is breaking news. that's our hero. nazi, as we understand now, at least 2 people have been killed and a large fire, which is broken out in a central district of moscow. as we understand the flames rip through a warehouse where flowers are being stored. have a look at these pictures right here. more than a 100 firefighters dispatched to the scene, we understand they are still battling the blaze. when you bring up the numbers here, as we understand now, an area of some 2000 square meters is said to have gone up in flames. again,

this is a central district in moscow. it's nearly half past 9 sunday evening minus 3 degrees celsius outside. for now, the cause of the fire is not yet understood. my more updates on that breaking news story available for you in the almost immediate future at r t dot com as well as our tesa telegram channels. odyssey and gab, we hope to see you soon 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 to conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about our personal intelligence and the point obviously, is to create trust rather than fear like to take on

various jobs with artificial intelligence. real, somebody with a robot must protect its own existence with only 41 percent of us. it does have enough savings to cover a $1000.00 emergency. we have record numbers of americans who are on the verge of having their cars repossess more than a 137000000 americans are facing financial hardship because of medical debt. in america. we do have a well 1st system in place to help people who are struggling financially, but it's a conditional system. you have to prove to the government that you truly need help . the simplest way, like explain a basic income, is that it's like social security for the rest of us. a basic income would be a monthly payments that would go to everyone. does a $1000.00

a hey about i don't know, i just won't go crazy. the reason that i am a fan of guaranteed income because it is this idea that everybody is deserve it. and just by virtue of your being here with with

a price on each native person for $5.00 for a piece of scope of indian male. $15.00 for women, $15.00 for children, they put me in a legal jail to call it a reserve not part of canada. never decided so i was in school years, physicians terrible people.
