good information left to their own devices. we're trying to on far more reasonable foreign conclusions than are coming to about well, with a headlines on off he 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. failure to 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 its claims that russia was behind

a deadly myth. all strike on polish territory, as it admits policy of the projectile, i'm more than likely ukrainian. that's off to the u. s. nato. it would waltz or officials say it was likely longer to buy a ukrainian at defense system. also, i had $411800000000.00 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 cent the financial aid allocate a big key of the party, wins partial control congress with to have you with us here for the sunday program from moscow. one our t international. this is the weekly with the top headlines off 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 does 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 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 system, 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 arsenal, houses of but,

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. a 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 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 develop

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 ukranian 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 washer 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 up in cause of if local police continue to mistreat serbian 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, commas, the breakaway province plans to go ahead with controversial ideas to find any one driving in the area with so be in 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 i subs from northern kosovo, working in all public institutions resigned on mass earlier this month. the used foreign policy chief warren, that serbia and cause of a will 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 a 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 cooperative. so you know, they, you sanctions, ah, humanitarian bombings, interventions, et cetera. they've never, sanctions, any, you know, the whole k or other albanian leaders were one obstructed in these agreements, which were signed under western auspices. 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 beltway, they use pressure,

do you sanction threats? they use extra legal arrests kidnappings. they don't use any of those instruments in costa when 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 gay nightclub in colorado. the deadly incident happened to the u. s. state on saturday night now, according to report the failing because a 22 year old male who opened fire on patrons club q and the city of colorado springs. one of the injured is in fact, the suspect himself, he's being treated in custody. the police chiefs at 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 are key of back tracking on his previous claims that have missed all which had

a polish village this week killing to was fined by russia. ukrainian air force a 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, so 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 in 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 miss albert via, of course, in some polish politicians, even called for an apology from ki evan, for compensation as well for the families of the victims. now, the incident led to a well read public rift between ukrainian western allies is dro biden's. national security adviser 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 lengthy on the phone after the incident. though, here's how the american leader responded when asked about ukraine's version of events. what's your reaction with?

well, i guess 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 say if the 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 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 attack russia. and invoke articles $4.00 and $5.00, 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 than 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,

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 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 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 visit information. so does vale of 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 they had searched even off. if they hadn't reprinted government propaganda, they could have stopped it. but what does that mean? well, that means basically populations don't like was and populations have to be folding tools. 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 or a tendency who highlights the dangerous and ultimately that have the recklessness of candidates 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, go 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, 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. and they do nations as it has a lie. the timeline here 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 so good article 5 will be invoked, i think, should be discounted from future 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 when we're funding ukraine's budget, with 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 a to ukraine this year with $37000000000.00 and 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 are certainly

ramped up a gear. the power dynamic shifts in america. it 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 bio ministration to get his policies passed through . however, even that is not the biggest issue for the american leader is the g o. p has promised to investigate joe biden himself, his team, and his family's business dealings. iron mastication is about joe bought. and we already have evidence that would point that joe biden was involved with 100 biden only so, so we want the bank records and that's our, that's our focus. we're trying to stay focused on was joe biden directly involved with 100 buttons 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 cowski. now, she believes at 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, through 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 and 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 out of the world cup was officially kicked off and cut out. but even before a single bowl had been booted the total and hoping engulfed in controversy with focus on the plan as 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 that more than any other well together. a lot of these argue 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 with closer inspection at 6 and a half 1000 number is the total number of migrate that it cuts up since they won that welcome at bid is not linked to working on site. another line of attack from the western media has been around cultural issues, things like 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 writes as well, an issue which of course and watch 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 been lots of accusations that it's a talker. see, and no less than the fee for. ready present gianni in santino himself yesterday in doll giving an impassioned plea and criticizing a pool, perhaps 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 model 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 parties from their 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 how we 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 was they are posting the winter and tapes 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 internationals we come to from moscow. it's right now nearly half past 9 on sunday evening. it is breaking news, this 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 all tisa telegram channels. odyssey and gab, we hope to see you soon. ah, ah ah ah

ah ah, a very chavez, canada hasn't been very good. ah, to indigenous women and girls who have been missing or found murdered because of the structural racism history,

the cloning history that canada has with indigenous people and communities. and it's so shameful history and a history that calendar doesn't like to talk about not until just into those election in 2015, with the to abuse of colonization. finally shattered her on being elected. prime minister, the young head of state, give a message to the 1st nations community working together highly. the government of canada, sincerely apologize, us and asks the forgiveness of the aboriginal peoples of this country for failing them. so profoundly have to apologize and to residential school victims. the prime minister tackle the

scandal from us for many decades, indigenous women and girls across canada have disappeared, suffered violence or been killed. it is shameful. it is absolutely unacceptable, and it must end with the 1st time in the country's history, he acknowledged genocide. this is a gift to the prime minister dustin trudeau has raised the hopes of an entire people. but indigenous women are still dying. ah. after all the promises breathing.
