[000:00:00;00] ah, [000:00:00;00] with ours headlines on anti international natural gas prices shoot up almost 10 percent off for a blast at a key pipeline in central russia that transports the gas to europe. we understand 3 people lost their lives. companies in poland and germany act to secure russian oil imports for the next year. despite warsaw being one of the most vocal supporters of the latest e. u. price cap on russian energy,
10:01 am
electricity is restored in russia's belgrade region, ukrainian, shutting left almost half the entire city without power, and at least a civilian wounded. on twitter, file number 7 drops, showing no trace of russian meddling and the hunter applied and laptop saga. but plenty of input from the f b i ah, and with the whole world headlines live from moscow, this is ancy international from all of us here. a very welcome to you. so a huge explosion at a pipeline in central russia, the transports natural gas to europe, as that of 3 people dead, and another person injured. we can learn more right now. of course, you live ortiz, are rachel marston on this. rachel, good to see you. do you have any extra details you can tell us about what exactly happened? yes,
10:02 am
so this is the west side barrier gas pipeline operated by russia's majority state own gas from an ukraine state on nafta gas on the fray inside. now, it runs from russia in siberia, through western ukraine and into central and western european countries. it's the same pipeline, the sustained damage in 2014, in the wake of what the press reports at the time qualified as threats from the leader of ukraine's right sector radicals of metro euros. now gas from has confirmed that this explosion that took place in russia's chavarria region during maintenance. work with 3 people reported be killed in one injured. a restoration work is already underway though, and gas is transported through the pipeline in parallel. so there's redundancy built into the system as was also the case with the attack on gas problems nord stream system, earlier this year for which western authorities who task themselves with the investigation still haven't made the details public. now gas from says of this
10:03 am
latest incident will, will be investigated by a quote, specifically created commission. interesting to note that both of these incidents snored stream an travesia involve pipelines that carry russian gas into europe. so either some folks just re, like smoking right next to russian gas pipelines to europe or, and, you know, maybe there's something else going on here. now, we saw the gas prices over the day to day here in europe fluctuate and go up around the time of the incident before going back down. but that's not necessarily unusual as a spot price tends to swing wildly every day. the pipeline specifically it takes the gas into slovakia, hungry and romania on the european side. so where does this country stand with respect to gas prices as they stand right now? here in europe? now 2 of those countries, slovakia and romania wanted an even lower cap on gas prices than that. $180.00
10:04 am
euros per megawatt hour that the you set on monday along with 10 other countries who also wanted the lowest gas cap possible to protect the households from rising energy costs. hungary, foreign minister said that the whole idea of a gas price kept was unworkable. it's interesting that hungry is one of the end terminal points for this pipeline in europe. because keep in mind, that hungry keeps thinking deals to import russian gas despite the use sanctioning of its own gas supply from russia. so there are a lot of unanswered questions. needless to say, swirling around yet another rushing gas pipeline, fire explosion, mystery, as you say, rachel, there an awful lot of questions. a surrounding vista timing is also potentially suspect as well. but it's the last thing that europe needs to suffer. an even bigger withdrawal of russian energy ritual. marston, thanks for that. well meanwhile, a number of companies in poland and germany of apply to secure deliveries of
10:05 am
russian oil over the next year. and despite the western price caps and sanctions that are targeting the russian energy industry, the head of an oil pipeline company, trans, yes, believes businesses in europe are increasingly starting to look out for themselves . a good deal of political assume if force come up with the politicians from poland are one thing, but they're also the rational representatives of business and authorities who understand very well the consequences of this absolutely absurd rhetoric on their economy group was, although they announced that from the 1st of january, they would not be taking oil from russia. we've recently received applications from polish consumers for 3000000 tons of oil for next year, which is and 360000 tons for december alone. and germany has already applied for deliveries in the 1st quarter, and then you could with these to start, the application comes as the e u sets of price cap of $60.00 per barrel on russian crude. at the limit applied earlier this month is set to be aimed at depriving moscow of funds to conduct its
10:06 am
military operation in ukraine. however, the capital so sees existing sanctions relapse allowing european countries to buy russian oil. i'll be it at the cap. price of the most vocal proponent of the plan, poland at earlier sought a higher price ceiling than eventually agreed upon you most abused, but use both dorky. we cannot go back to this stupidity to this bad in criminal policy, which turned country dependent on russia and offered guten petro dollars was zeros in dollars, although, so that put in, in russia could build a war arsenal and could attack its neighbors. dina allan, today we are presenting the most radical plan on europe to move away from russian hydrocarbons to be away from russian oil rushing gas from rushing calling for our son. this most radical plan is needed. im ugly, that over are now to out rushes belgrade region where ukrainian artillery has shall the border area leaving at least a person wounded a soul according to local authorities. more details now a power outages have also been reported as a result of the onslaught. electricity though, as we understand,
10:07 am
has now been restored a shrapnel damaged warehouses and production facilities in one industrial zone. and we are to understand as well that the emergency crews are still working in that region. meanwhile, ukrainian artillery also had a civilian hospital in dawn yeske for the 2nd time in 24 hours. local authorities say residential buildings and the kindergarten of also come under fire. so let's get this report now with our correspondence in the region, is romantic o ukrainian artillery struck the city of the nest. shortly before midnight on monday, once again, one of the largest hospital here in dunbar had been targeted were standing right next to the building. and number 10 that was suffered at direct i hit by a mo, from a multiple launch a rocket system. as the result,
10:08 am
at least one person was heavily wounded as the result of this attack a day prior to this. so 2 people had been killed as another building building number 6. and you or surgery department was a stronger as well. now that building behind me it houses administration as well as the daytime clinic. now it shuts at 4 pm and opens at 7 o'clock in the morning. so thankfully there was no one there except for the caretaker. now, once again, it was struck by ukrainian artillery by a grab missile, and we actually found the shell that was used and i spoke to a ballistics expert narrow, this is a modified or modified solved yet, shell produced in slovakia, it's a 122 millimeter, a shell and once again made in slovakia and supplied to ukraine by made
10:09 am
so countries and these are the kinds of shelves that had been used against a civilians here in dennis over the last months or or so of course many people people had been killed and many more were injured as the result of these a chaotic and indiscriminate attacks against the sensor. various calibers of weapons are being used against evidence here in the n s a ground missiles like what i just showed you. and of course the other calibers are much higher. $15552.00 millimeter and of course they caused a lot of destruction. many of the weapons that are being used to include the cluster munitions as well with that is designed to inflict as much damage as possible. joe locals, us in the loan yesterday around a p. m. there was the 3rd shelling in a week and in the hospital and administrative buildings were damaged at mutual doctors provided assistance to them, a doctor on duty managed to hide behind the safe of the of germany. but if the laws
10:10 am
are almost completely damaged, about 90 percent of the windows have shattered and of immune this no heating, 3 artillery strikes and a small area within one weeks. time is already a hatter. shooting our hospital is a war crime. the staff are fighting for the lives of those wounded here. the people are being helped as much as possible covers that we, we continue to work as much as we can. yesterday there was damage to the nero surgical building, which the staff are continuing their work. no matter what, so today they all came to work to help people about our duty is above all, well, this is a safe france has condemned rwanda for backing m. 23. insurgents who are fighting democratic republic of congo forces in the countries east of piracy, even getting involved calling for a regional peace process to be established in neighboring countries. france condenser on to support for the m $23.00 group and calls for the luanda, and they were all be processed to be fully implemented. we spoke with our africa
10:11 am
correspondent caribella tattler who earlier told us about well, 1st of all, the relations between france and rwanda. but also that of the french roll in that regions history, france, andrew and i have had to test the diplomatic relations. and they've only started going about 5 years ago as they started opening lines of communication. but this was the 1st time since then that front has open the i choose the government of rwanda of supporting the m 23 rebels. but polk gum, it is used to having such accusations leveled at his government and this was his response. the problem was not created by wander and it is not drawn this problem. it is congress problem. i cannot be responsible for congress or rondon descent in congress who are being denied their rights as citizens. one that has always had
10:12 am
a problem with the role that it says front flayed during the genocide in 1994. in rwanda, then they have made, they have opened cases against people that they deem to be responsible. and we're talking and condemning. priests were talking see me ranking military officials of the hutus who committed these crimes on the, to the minority in rwanda. now, despite these cases being opened as far back as $995.00 from 2 decades later, we still have to have a trial in france or an extra edition of these would be a choose precedence to stand trial in rwanda. now i expect that relations will not be getting any better following this particular open accusation of the why didn't government supporting these rebels or so just a moment here on the program. let's just take a look back at the democratic republic of congo. it's where m 23. insurgents are
10:13 am
currently wreaking havoc the latest attack, they cut off a major supply route to the dfcs. eastern city of goma, bring to the danger of a looming hunger crisis, straight to the forefront for residence that now situated near the rwandan border. goma is a major regional economic hub. it's been the focus of the conflict actually between the d. c. 's forces and the militia group, which certainly has intensified in recent months. but i'm 23. the latest advances cut off the national road to highway, which leads to go more from the north and is a key length approach use from the northern farming region. i spoke earlier to a martin area, a senior research to south african based security think tank. he says, the situation in the d. c is difficult and complicated and that if one does involvement in the conflict is actually proven at the end of the day, the entire region security will be at risk. a rigs are getting high on this is
10:14 am
because of the political situation in the region we've seen recently, detention in relations between the democratic republic of congo and rwanda. this, in my view, as we know, it's actually provide opportunities for terrorist groups to take advantage. we've also seen in the past how some of the countries have actually utilized groups and territories as pawns in this kind of political tension. we don't know the fact yet in terms of these allegations against rwanda wanda, has of course, was completely denied involvement or any support to these group vets. i think we still get to know the details and the fact around whether this is actually true, because this will be extremely damaging to the effort of the d, or see this country has seen
10:15 am
a fisher of conflict. it has been destroyed by conflict, and therefore it's recent. i'm trying to stabilize it so to eliminate these factors of instability which the m 23 has been a constant presence in the past 10 years. so would you be surprised to hear the f. b. i meddled in the hunter biden laptop scandal, and then sort to sensor it on twitter. that's according to a new series of twitter revelations. the 7th tron shop to the file, showing that despite hysteria about russian meddling about 2020 elections, twitter so little to no indication of that. we are removing 2 distinct networks of accounts. the 1st network of accounts totaling approximately 345 were law to be inactive. the 2nd network of accounts total approximately 10. the accounts included in this enforcement action,
10:16 am
little reach and low follow accounts. one, what we saw in these twitter files is basically an admission from twitter that russia's social media diabolical, social media, threat to american democracy, was very much imaginary. actually, still, that didn't stop the f b i from pressuring twitter into giving the mainstream media, whatever it possibly could to point the finger at russia, but pretty much every time it came up empty, and every time it came up empty, twitter was forced to admit that it's saw a lot of insinuations, but not a lot of evidence. don't know what about what about the letters address that have hunter biden's laptop the whole, the whole scandal around that because the end of the day it's getting mentions now, although it was essentially swept on the coffee when it started coming out. right. right. well, i mean, this is actually a key issue in the last us presidential election, and it was also something that us intelligence officials almost immediately back then denounced as some sort of fake russian propaganda story. i mean,
10:17 am
it was the perfect justification for the f. b, i to pressure twitter into suppressing that story and that's exactly what it did. the suggestion from experts with drinks to is there was a hag that happened separately and they loaded the hacked materials from the laptop the magically appeared at the repair shop in delaware. were recommending a warning plus the amplification bend and further information. now there's even a speculation that twitter got a heads up about this story ahead of time because actually twitter was sent 10 different documents from the f b i just a day before the new york post published this story and just hours after the article went public twitter suppressed it, of course, again, we don't have any confirmation of that, but doesn't seem unreasonable. so i mean, g thing, do you think it's fair to say that the f b, i was putting a lot of pressure on twitter. oh, what are your thoughts? what based on what we've seen in these twitter files, the f b, i did everything it could to get as much as possible from twitter. and there was even talk of them, potentially bringing and congress people into atlas to take
10:18 am
a look at what that said. we have seen the sustained, if uncoordinated effort by the intelligence community to push us to share more information they are probing than pushing everywhere they can, including by whispering to congressional staff at this pressure from the f b i seems to have been so frequent. and so intense that twitter was even paid over $3000000.00 just to process the bureaus requests. a lot of a lot of these requests even were met with demands from twitters management for a warrant that they, they must have been so it potentially and breach of people's privacy. right. so this journalist that released all this, he's already calling for an investigation, and i'm sure you know, a lot of people who are following the story would be unlikely to object to that. meanwhile, e u figures are examining allegations of ukrainian attacks on civilian areas, alt on bass, dozens of speakers at the don bass. witnesses conference, which is currently being held in the portuguese capital,
10:19 am
the detailing claims of kias atrocities in the region. and participants discussed the use influence on ukraine. and the 2014 got went, couldn't keep that resulted in 8 years of conflict with the don. yes. and look on scrub publics. photos on show portrayed the aftermath of ukrainian attacks on new residential neighborhoods of don bath. and we heard from a number of speakers out this conference who did express outrage the actions of kids forces. i think ukraine acts like these because they know that the most part of population in the bus, they are pro russian. they speak, russian is their culture. a big part of this population felt betrayed by the main leaders of ukraine and by the west. and they decided to took the power, repeating the same way in the west of ukraine deeds seizing the power in.
10:20 am
and that's why i teach ukraine, they shell every day, cities like than yet, school ah, cooling and enduring. see you in people right now, one that over to master seeing could that sir shocked be demoss the was the fact that her i seen her how am ukrainian now army is a shelly anger against her against to people. because her, when the, for example, i was he in then, yes girl or a in go to love car, or it was not mouth to see. that's where a people killed or in the street to saw. it is something that, sir, ah, we cannot turn at sceptre and we can not accepted that at this is opinion girl also, because her over westerner whitten's will a former italian prime minister has said the global community has forgotten the past to resolving the conflict. instead,
10:21 am
just fueling it with pumping more weapons among those who have recently pledged such lethal laser keith is again, the british prime minister. reach you soon. ok, who has said, are the you cable sound another quarter of a 1000000000 pounds worth of aid? ortiz marina cost rover now looks at the political rivalry between the warmongers and peace next in the west. while more and more prominent figures are encouraging peace talks between russia, ukraine, the west is trying to make sure things stay as they are. we must be clear that any unilateral coal for a ceasefire by russia is completely meaningless in the current context. i think it would be a false call. we have no illusions that to a 2 piece negotiation. that would be possible in the immediate future. it's our job to continue to sustain our military support to ukraine. so they are in the best possible position on the battlefield. so that if and when diplomacy is ripe,
10:22 am
they will be in the best possible position at the negotiating table. that moment is not right now. of course, it's not now that send ukraine a few more $1000000000.00. sell some more weapons, try to ostracize rush a little bit more. and who cares how many more people lose their lives? well, this time it was former us secretary of state, henry kissinger, who spoke in favor of peace talks. the chime is approaching to build on the strategic changes which have already been accomplished and to integrate them into a new structure towards achieving peace through negotiation. how their, who that was pretty much their reaction from key if straight away. unfortunately, even after 10 months of war, mister kissinger did not understand anything, neither the nature of this war nor its impact on the world's order. henry kissinger has stated that last may he propose the same fire line along the borders existing before the special military operation began,
10:23 am
which would see russia abandon these 4 new territories and hold on to crimea. and that would become subject of further negotiations after a ceasefire. and we've already heard a similar proposal from elan mosque, remember, and also then go down very well was, or one likes it or not. crimea is absolutely seen as a core part of russia by russia. crimea is also of critical, national security importance to russia, as it is their southern navy base from their standpoint. losing crimea is like the united states losing hawaii and pearl harbor he was ridiculed, scrutinized and dismissed. as of who had some propagandists were proposing and negotiated solution. and now we have a political heavyweights with decades of experience proposing as similar plan, and everyone's mock and him for it's all supporters of simple solutions should remember the obvious, an agreement with the devil. a bad piece at the expense of ukraine in territories
10:24 am
will be a victory for put in and the recipe for success for autocrats around the world. the preferred out. com for some his, a russia, rendered imposing by the war. i disagree for all his propensity to wireless. russia has made decisive contributions to the global aqua libra young and to the balance of power for over half or millennium is historical roles should not be degraded. but it seems that the west is seeking exactly that and will not stop until russia is degraded weekend and humiliated. something which is highly unlikely at term that the west like sees. so how many more people have to die? how many countries have to suffer before the west realizes that it is time to encourage peace talks instead of arms sales? we heard a bit earlier from investigative journalist, daniel lazar. now he says that ukraine hasn't been truly independent or sovereign since the western backed my then qu of 2014. i think the negotiations are,
10:25 am
i should, should definitely take place. they're more urgent now than ever. but they've got to be realistic in order, in order to succeed and realistic needs. recognizing that there are certain territories that russia will not and really cannot give up. the u. s. a know, extended nato, farther and farther to the east with the idea of essentially surrounding and crippling. right. and eliminating it as a major military power. and so, so certainly that, that tendency that long march has led to the lead lead to the war and is leading to the destruction of the ukraine. but the u. s. doesn't care because it's perfectly happy to sacrifice the ukraine, to its own interests. but then again, it's also happy to sacrifice the
10:26 am
e. u to its own interests. and that's exactly what we're seeing. bringing you all the angles, today's top stories that you just won't get in the mainstream media, thanks for joining us here on the international. my from moscow is not just about 6, 25 pm on tuesday here on the russian capital. we do return with your news. at the top of the hour. i
10:28 am
in a fight wanted to go and pay my respects how all those who lost our lives. the hands of the 3rd, right. and i wouldn't want to do it with anybody other than john honestly, you know, horrible atrocities that affected millions and millions in. and this is the ideology that i live 5 or 4 years. and what is journeyman? since is harder than mine, big jewish and something to turn to. he didn't. he left something that was like a family type relationship and move back into the real world, living in israel and finally feels at home. and he feels like he's with his people and leaving with this i know that that's something i'd like to feel in life. you know, i'd like to feel that i do belong to something that i have something to look forward to. and i have something to believe,
10:29 am
i'm not sure what it's going to be. you speak to myself to be a real american patriot, but i don't like the direction that my country is going a whole lot. right. i was like a, a earlier pull then. overwhelmed with emotion start shaking, embed, and as i went into laboratory a few moments ago, i did get thick. wow. going to camp it makes it. it's like putting in a face with a name. it's no longer, you know, old reels that you see on t v programs and documentaries, you know,
10:30 am
written by some guy who wasn't there on the page from history book. it's real life is doing what you can fix the world. the best of your ability is that just starts with you and the way that you live your life, you are, which what you're doing now is to coin laundry, going back and fixing some of the wrong one point, stop it. that's enough. things need to be different and they give me more than 1500 years when prison, a small fortress, their destiny was worst of all the groups of prisoners, about 500 from them were tortured to death. here, most of the parish i for the deportation to the concentration camps. 1500 people with the jewish faced either i find an article from nazi or really ab and we'll go getters, transit camp as well. people are coming merely coming in to wait for the train to know off the dock house,
