mainly women and children. among the revel schoolbooks, children, school bags and clothes. the local say there was no husband, our presence here, the people that were killed posing no threat to as well, hundreds of miles away from the border. just a few miles away and now remove another building, destroyed by as well. at least 8 people were killed when, as well struck at dawn. among the victims, most of whom were women and children with little idea. he had a whole life ahead of her as well, snuffed out in an instant, days off to the attack and civil defense with cuz they're still searching the area as we arrived, they were carrying away the remains of someone killed his pulse, a vibrant search through the rubble for whatever they could find, hoping against hope. tennessee was yet to say who or once it was targeting here, leaving local was wondering why i said the, we were sleeping and somewhere at 430 or 5 o'clock in the morning we heard

a loud bang. and as if something was collapsing, people started to leave the building to escape and we noticed how 3 apartments had collapsed to the ground. we knew that there were refugees living here. that is all civilians. and we ran to help people. there are many victims here including women and children. there was no time for feelings, and no time for fear. we entered this apartment, there was devastation inside and people could not get out of there. the situation was terrible. it was dark, nothing was visible. a good name, so long as the father was sleeping and at 4 30 in the morning, i was woken up by the sound of breaking glass in our house. and as soon as i could see, even barely, i went downstairs, there were refugees who arrived mainly from the southern districts and suburbs. ordinary civilians who fled to shelving and found shelter. here they ran here in search of a safe place. and that's what happened. these were women and children, as well as on armed men who have nothing to do with the war. then up was a photographer, the king. did you notice it onto escaped the as why the aggression in the south. on

monday she was one of the 20 people killed by, as well as it struck the appalling block in which they was shouting, women, an 8 children, and among the victims. we spoke to a friend of the family who said she was supposed to meet a brother, but said she would be too late to stay in for dinner with a family, but she didn't get to eat a meal with is my wiping out generations of her family in an instant, there was a go in feeding haven, lebanon, the israel is trying to, so civil unrest division, perhaps even the civil war. the sheer community in particular is coming under attack with benjamin netanyahu. the is why the prime minister describing them as the enemy within this place, people feel they are being hunted down, talking to them all being described as massacres in lebanon, with no parts of the country safe. this is, do you see any foot off the auto mood 11 on its officials, the ruling georgia dream party, you won't the country's parliamentary votes last month, pensions 3rd into please see this of the day after the country,

the electoral commission release, the final results, unrest, even seen taking place between politicians with the leader of georgia's pro western united national movement dollars in the countries election chief with the last page . after he made the announcements relied on the streets of the protests here surrounded the electoral commission building before being pushed back by police. they were cleaning ball it fraud and rushing meddling midwestern calls to investigate voting irregularities. no evidence. so all of those claims has been provided. we spoke to the head of a thing in the country who believes opposition. leaders are trying to start off from the test before the allies, the by who government leaves office and the us stuff because of the as recent weeks have shown, the opposition does not have enough potential inside the country for the mass

continuous rallies. the opposition lead is a cooling for they are counting primarily on west and support. they don't even try to hide it. by the way, a former president sock has really directly stated that they needed large mass rallies in order to attract the attention of the west. and now they are in a hurry because the opposition wants to do something such as forcing fresh elections and so on. and it should be done before trumps ignore duration. because the main driving force behind this protest movement and g o is associated with the soros foundation and the attitude of trump and his team toward sorrows is known to be extremely negative. that is why i think trump's team will suppress this international activity of soros, and in any case, it will not support those public organizations. those will start to use that feed from the hands of soros. i think the leaders of the georgia know position understand this very well, and that is why they want to speed things up. but i repeat, they have no potential inside the country. and that is why i think that whole, this will end with nothing. the protest help being

seen for a 2nd day and a because here over an investment agreement to, to be discussed with russian. the president has proposed to resign and hold self elections. if those currently routing leave the government building which they had occupied. the opposition, however, has rejected the deal unless the monday us on this young, the immediately leave office. let's get more on this for a developing story from corresponding to eager shutdown of reporting from the causing capitals to come. your things have escalated dramatically in the past 24 hours or so. what's that situation like now on the ground as night approaches? well indeed you and then the opposition, the on taking the word of the president that he will step down as soon as they vacate the building, which is right behind me. this is the parliament in the capital of so home in the public of cause you protest is all gathered him. they are prepared to spend the

night. they aren't going anywhere anytime soon that he saw the people, plenty of opposition members ins as support is distorted with people inside this building. right now here you can see a pile of wood. they're preparing basically to make a fire. and over that, a bunch of protests is they're preparing a barrel. uh, basically the barrels. that's where people who will be able to, to just to, to stay home because just recently the pos how one of the members of the opposition, he went on the porch over that behind me. and he addressed the crowd. and essentially his words were, we can take the word of the president and just leave and be done and be over with it. or we can see this thing through. this is the position of the protesters here. in fact, i've had a chance to talk to one of the opposition leaders inside this apartment building

who has uh for us several points. basically he has v monthly denied any claims that uh, that anyone that the media some of the media has made that this is an anti rushing protest. according to him, it is definitely not if everything goes according to that plan, they continued, they said to they expect to continue to build up on the ties with russia. now, just a bit of a background for you. this whole thing has started over an initiative of the incumbent government to allow for and those 2 patches slammed here in the republic of up of a positive all these people that basically concerned that this would mean that the only gods will just get all the sweetest spots and they will be denied this opportunity. and basically this gums, this, this country would, will be then controlled by a holy galks and big businessman. and the powers of the people and the voices of the people will no longer be hug. at the same time,

the president has cooled on everybody to calm down again, he's made a promise to step down. if they vacate this building again a, a, a, something the, basically, the, the opposition ard meeting, the president pos weights. but what's the best way to learn about the position of both sides then to hear it directly from, from, from the source, have a listen. there is a lot of pressure on members of parliament to making a legal decision about the resignation of the president. firstly, such a decision will not happen. and secondly, if it does happen, it will not be followed through. i don't want people to think that i am holding on to power, but rather that we need to find a constitutional way forward. if we don't comply with the constitution, our country will not survive. those who have taken control, those who attempted a cuckoo must vacate the buildings. after that i will be ready to call an election and resign. the vice president will run the country and i will run in the election . it all comes out as the president has stated,

that he is prepared to step down. if we leave this building, the duties of the president would then be assumed by the vice president. genea has expressed a desire to call for early presidential elections and running them. awesome. yeah, i would like to know your thoughts on this. do you agree? do you think you should step down now speaking with one of the opposition leaders here, i asked him as to where things stand and the the go to the ations between the opposition and the president. basically a property from what i understood the on talking you to each other directly. there's a mediator bodies here who just they just left to that delegation is just left his building maybe a couple of hours ago. and they went to see and to, to the president who is in another town here in a cause. yeah. so right now everyone, it seems again look at, look around me. it is very, very peaceful. there's no police presence here whatsoever. and people's a,

onto the, on destroying anything. they on smashing windows. uh, in fact, they are just staying here. uh, just okey playing this place until their demands are mess at least this is what they're saying. so again, they are hoping that this will be resolved peacefully through a legal process. and again, this is something that russia has also called to russia is closely following the events in friendly casa, which have once again led to internal political tensions. unfortunately, opposition forces have not been able to resolve the differences with the country is legitimate to socrates through a civilized and mutually respectful dialogue and have resulted to actions outside the legal framework, escalating the conflict. this has led to a crisis in the republic and regardless of the outcome hinders of causally as

development, the russian side expects that the current situation in up cause the will be resolved peacefully and through political means without interference in the countries internal processes. well, it did get quite hectic here on friday when people, when the protesters tried to do that, they basically dismantled the, they dismantled to the friends here and they got inside the building. but as they did so, we could hear opposition leaders called on to protest is to not break things to remain civil. actually, i have to say that it does look very civil here and a lot right now. and they are just people here. they're just sharing their opinions, they're talking about why they don't want this to the why they don't want to this proposal, this initiative by the government. why they don't want that. and because that

initiative, some sorts and do these, they basically saw it as anti russian, but they remain adamant that it is not the case. now as to what i was referring to and talking about just in the beginning of this life, here it is. are they have the barrel is over, that defies the far is own going, move barrels have been have just being delivered. so again, people here are expecting to spend the night and it is just uh, it is just for the sake of sending a message to the, to the president them to the incumbent government. that they are very serious at taking those say, live developments and you're try their eager thanks for it. very much fitness through the light from the streets of securing the r t correspondent, a door shut down off. well, that's cross now to research or of the institute of european studies in belgrade. stuff in guy, it's for his taking on what's developing there. 7,

good to see you. so here we have no cause here with political deadlock, your initial reaction as well. i think it's gonna be really uh, pretty much sure to say that these are anti russian protests because we have seen the protesters coming with the russian flags. what it's seems to be the biggest concern is basically the fear of, of how the house, uh, from, uh, the only only gar overtake, but maybe they are afraid of. uh, georgians, rich georgians with russian citizenship buying lines. you know? because yeah, so this is, we have to remember a call cuz this and all the things there is very sensible. so when we see the warming of nations between multiple really see this, of course, mates a house, you know, potentially some. busy cynthia is a bit more about the possible consequence. and the underlining, i would say,

uh, the underlying issue here is of course, the cost to move the interference or for empowers of nato. because this is happening in the last name of the black sea. and 10 years ago, here in belgrade, george friedman describe that the war is going to be ways in the black sea. and what do we see there? we see romania, bulgaria, turnkey, all nato countries. ukraine. the fact though, uh, i think you guys made the proxy. russia, georgia, and the of cause the at, of course will know why it's not far when all these places are what actually a, let's say wall tile. so that is why the road that initially probably, uh, starts with a very legitimate reasons. uh can, if not, so i think, i mean, the most go has to, of course,

react. and he decides to, to calm down the situation and sides of the day of the table. because uh uh, because the warrant bowers, negative, per se, would enjoy to manual in, in such a situation and make things worse. can i just also throw an aspect of this neighboring george's pro western president who's also the countries opposition leader is supporting the protests and them calcium, claiming authorities are attempting to parse through russian legislation, how she saves it, how much impact has saloon? is there a bitch valley statements hot on public opinion in account so you to use that kind of intervention issue? oh, 1st of all, it is is campbell that somebody who used to be an investigator of a foreign country is now a president. so she was invested or a friends and now president of georgia and has been pursuing the very radical prenatal uh, policies. um, she is basically uh,

she's basically the successor. you know, i don't want to go successor of the whole soccer really. so i would not expect anything less then modeling because that is what i need to want. they want a conflict which will make crush a busy and as the as minister of foreign affairs of rush to sell you a lot of sense. the west was open and the 2nd war, the 2nd front and with the war against russia. so caucasus is a perfect spot for that. that the, i only read a fair reaction as through these lines. 7, thanks very much for coming in the program, sharing your reaction to what is on folding there a day to in. so could step and guides research, institute of european studies in belgrade live on are to know the story to bring

you through. australia is partially state owned energy company, o m b, c's. it has received notice from gas problems that will hold gas supplies to the outbound country from today. the russian company itself, however, is yet to confirm the move on. well, many fear an energy crisis over the winter season, the austrian chelsor says people have nothing to worry about. and they said, you have them dominant ladies and gentlemen, i can inform you that we have been preparing exactly for this adventure to ality. always under the condition that the republic of austria can to be blackmailed, that you as austrian consumers can to be blackmailed. that means i can promise you no one in austria will freeze because of a lack of gas. and no home in austria will be cold. niema will have bach brought into this o n. v said during the week it was seeking to recover a $242000000.00 arbitration debt from dallas problem. the court decision passed on

on the international chamber of commerce rules came as russia temporarily stopped, its gas supplies in 2022 to germany. however, in may this year, a russian court concluded that gas problem would not be affected by decisions in a foreign jurisdiction that all come such a new turn in rhetoric is emerging from australia's neighbor, the czech republic, last year, it probably in august, it was nearly 100 percent free, all dependence on russian gas, but what the price of alternative energy sources on the rise prague is once again ramping up its inputs from moscow as the weather gets colder. and then with gauss problem potentially closing a top gas prices in europe have risen by around a 3rd since the summer. just to give you a sense. all of that yearly peak levels were reached on thursday, climbing to more than $45.00 euro per megawatt hour. all right,

well let snow fall slide i'm delighted to say to former australian for administer car, and can i sell at to help us make sense of, of what's going on? pardon absolute pleasure to see, you know, absolutely clear. if does problem, gas applies to austria. how being hosted completely temporarily or at all this saturday. but if so, does it come as a surprise given recently goes development? exactly the full, the thing is, the consequence often ave to explore adults. so they didn't even have to blast and it was about it. and it was of 260000000 your roots going to austria and she already responded by saying, okay, well, we will not pay for the coming weeks, months, gaskin forth from that strong until we recovered that. that's

a compensation. and. ringback reacted by being for a substitute time in a guess or st. you securely. guess it's been going into the gas pop. it was a little bit less. could you give me guess the most is coming up. this is one thing mentioned by swans. uh and uh, yeah, he said by the end of this year i think it was wednesday russian. yes. wow. in contrast to circle probably sions any contract or the read us here so far has worked really well. our tentative structure scan, gary ends uh they have a much the snacks that you would actually populate for them. it's actually a technical topic. i will much of a big they bought a restaurant of turkey, while austria thinks it's can compensate. it's dependence on washer and gas,

more than 80 percent. my ellen, she didn't never read now and then she'd victory 5. and actually i comes via the c i o as oscar as alondra parts of austria can buy the boat. but this has made so much for the drama that she's supposed to fax. in addition, i've tried to send her whichever way to look at it. it seems and the pricing for me in the household. yeah, it's concerning it this situation at large protecting for people in the solos for getting approved, drops, lindsey, you know, wouldn't bring will be, we'd be able to keep young this winter. the austrian chestler is confident that they will do you think so as well? so many so slowly, so now i'm not speaking of the 2 months of site, it has become

a big, big additional burden the overall inflation because and up to higher energy prices drive. of course, also the inflation and we see uh the bankruptcy, the sacrament of restaurants, hotels, austria is right, is dependence on the window tourism and many institutions shipped to canada and it sort of to the energy bills of the candidate pos on this higher price. they've paid their fridges or their risk, and it's just a tremendous, lots next of i happened to this is the fact. and so this be denied. so we do not have to think of such an ethical lipstick. uh, are you know, like people really freezing in the homes. unfortunately, that the people who cannot afford to to heat their homes in

a decent it does affect um, but we see the impact on large parts of the medium and small sized companies in the gas drawing on me. this is already happening that they have to close though. can i also put in another aspect of this just to do to get your thoughts on austria's administer for climate auction. an energy is from the green party in the coalition government, a party of course, who oppose fossil fuels. i want to see them getting rid of her pivotal is leonor. uh give bessler in these developments. so if at all a what a they have been a lot of announcements, but when we look at the effects in 2021 of the dependence on austrian, uh, on the russian, influenced by australia was lower than i think it was about 7 to 75 percent in

2024. we had a dependence of going up to 90 percent. so in contrast to what um, given us a guess give us that have said effect since states that that is more input from russia. a miss give us now was very a let's, let's do a lot of marketing back in 22 of flying to the emeralds. flying to cut off line to jerry. i think they even went to was a big trying to get gas elsewhere now. uh, i think one vessel came from kupta, but uh they could no community replace the russian guest for you. this is also a fact. ready they come back twice. uh, of course you have to buy this and she and i did much, much file a cost then uh, what was written down in the long term gas contract, which the austrians head start to, to, to uh,

implant my uh 1st is associates as of 1968 and then they to august show for the ration. so um this moving a way from ashton gas uh is not through the hassle of happens to the extent they had an ounce back in 2022. and if you make that to uh, measure one of the elements, the austrian and uh, and the main or student gas company, wendy. dr. es of 22222 years ago to already replaced russian. got a by either uh, gas supplies such as iran, such as even put me and his staff. uh there was a famous bro checks that then uh, really materialized, it was closed booklet broke check. and it was very much uh, promoted by do you pin permission? so that, oh, as was, if i may say i sort of political, let's even call it, i do

a logical push to start from when i shouldn't guess later on when he became once again, a virtual partner of russia. why i know it's dream um, but uh, the, the, this, this idea to circum went russian best resources by going to west asia such as iran has always been on the table. and um, oh, you have all this uh, war mongering uh, at most viewed this very strong hand to a russian sentiment and all surface in australia. and this, um, this of course is promoted by such news when you get to the austrian paper since yesterday. it's hysterical, it's a lot of, of, of, of wrong facts. you pull them fig. uh, because it's like a is put in a weaponized as, as which, which is not, which is not correct. uh this, this current situation resides from and uh,

from fort decision taken in god blessed and the oceans reactive by saying, okay, this open section which we should get from gas bronze. uh, we will, uh, pay you for rushing gas for the foreseeable time. so i think that was, uh, that was something very well delivered, right? its decision by the management of or, and be to discuss it with the, with the ex extra use of gas from how to handle this award. so it was really, uh, i would say um, things could that's been done in a more professional way by the austrians in, in reaction to this decision by the court. something we're going to watch very closely. indeed. thanks so much for coming on the program on sharing your ex and keys with us on this form are all 3 informed mr. car in can i so live on our to thank you. thank you very much. i.
