The the breaking news continue 0, an aussie international. And before we joined our correspondent impress software, lets give you some updates because the slovak communist a robot feed. So what shot multiple times as he was leaving the local government meeting, the attacker was arrested at the saying, the countrys defense minister said the assassination attempt was politically motivated. Holcomb is a it is beyond any doubt that it was a political assault with a political background. You all know that very well and i cant cope with that internally of the style. So the mama inform us. Yeah. We received information from the operating doctors, the Prime Minister is in Critical Condition and his life is in danger. Hes still in the operating room. Lets get more details, dahlin cross to our correspondent desk. Yes. And i can. Yes. And can you bring us up to speed . What do we know . Sofa robbery. First and foremost, the status of the Prime Minister is currently critical. He is under surgery and we dont have much information as to how long that surgery will last and what the outcome will be. But based on the statements provided early in the broadcast as well, we understand that this will continue throughout the night. So we will be following the developments in that respect, but taking a step back and a broader look at what really happened here. Theres a little bit of controversy. The controversy is there, of course, because of the motivation behind the attack, the attacker was to be essentially a fairly old man who had no clear motive in the 1st place. He is known to be an officer who has penned a number of collected poems and speaking to some of the locals. They say that his poems had a great deal of racism and bigotry embedded in his, in his approach to that kind of offer some light into the mindset of the attacker. But initially of course, the motive is not quite clearly understood whether it was political or anything else, but just looking at the statements coming from World Leaders as well as government officials from slovakia it suggests that it could very well be politically motivated. Looking at, for example, of the present like computer better granny, he calls the attack on president attack against the democracy of slovakia as well as especially highlighting and emphasizing the importance of not resorting to violence at times of disagreements. So we also understand that the outgoing president got to have a, has essentially referred to the attack as brutal and ruthlessly heard from russian president vladimir fulton who is called the attack. And it was conduct the attack for the most part. And now weve also heard from the un secretary general, who essentially went into details suggesting that the attack was uncalled for. And that piece should be a should set a precedent here. But just based on everything that weve read here, of course it offers one aspect, but local government officials suggest that the liberal media has some part to do with this. That all that fits those policies was also the reason behind it. Looking at some of the information that was provided over the course of his last 2 terms, we understand that he served as a Prime Minister in each one, c, i in the years, 20062010 as well. Later in the 20 times, and this is his 3rd term in office and we understand that the Prime Minister has what some might refer to as an m p was pro russia position. However, looking at some of the, of course, the 1st things that he took into office is going to be a great deal of importance here. Because before he was elected in 2023 as a, as a result of his Election Campaign said that he will do everything in his power to put an end to supplying arms to ukraine. And in the early days of his government, he did in fact immediately actually hold to the delivery of arms to ukraine. And this resulted in, of course, thousands of people taking to the streets and protests to, to him and his policies. But we also understand the over the course of the last few weeks done months, the leadership of so walk, you essentially highlighted that this position that the government is taking is not necessarily pro russia or n t west. But its a matter of building a sovereign identity, solving Foreign Policy for the country. And this is of course, a trend that has been taken over the european block as a whole. We understand earlier this week, chinese presents choosing being visited france, serbian hungry, and his visit to serbia. There was a very similar sense of and by the serbians for example. They also said that we are trying to pursue a sovereign Foreign Policy. Not something that necessarily contradicts the policies of the European Union or the collective west. Nato is also a great matter of discussion here, but something that could in one way or another, compliments of the existing policy. So there was a great deal of back and forth. Were going to have to wait for more statements from government officials to understand of course, a native of the motives behind the attack as well as the condition of the Prime Minister will betsy. So probably right in front as lava a correspondent guessing i think we heard earlier from midland over to a member of the European Parliament forced that you the highlights what the motives may have been homeless. I probably wouldnt blame society for this effect. I think that most of the luck citizens are where the peaceful people who dont agree. Of course, are we decent at that . I think perhaps the ones who are to blame for this, i thought, are full additions and perhaps journalists who feel us up the hate amongst them when people and then less stable. People simply explode the gun and they start to think at the politicians. So this is from the way to main reason. Of course this as a nation at them to wheel has sort of thrown the political consequences on select politics because this has never happened before. And this is where a critical situation. I think that one of the biggest outcomes of we, which we will have to change is to hate speech being sprayed by may seem pro western media against a bully. Think of openness because these hate speech from the media is the source of the face on political things on in for that society. And we see the result. We see the result. We see the shooting on the streets on a public representatives and discount these acceptance anymore. Or we dont know exactly about the reasons which were behind it and thought they were obviously political reasons. And it is very possible that one of the reasons that was also this, your green team, i told you amongst look, citizens, and im on an excellent a communications. Please dont worry, come on to call for peace to call for counseling on production sanctions. Also our Party Support statement broke and also we go for counseling, other hand sanctions and we see that our political opponents are willing to take their fight against these opening to do very extreme actions. And as i said before, this has to stop because if they start to shooting or to even killing people because of political opinions because of quoting for peace or calling for canceling sanctions, which are destroying our industry. That so very unfortunate situation, which has to be stuff of the heres some photo taken just moments off of the attack. The Prime Minister was shot his years trying to leave it was that like i left at the hospital for surgery, some commentary now with i want to contribute to rachel mazda. The people was elected Prime Minister last october, but he certainly wasnt as 1st rodeo having been previously elected twice before talking about rodeo. Hes more like a fucking bronco in the use tranquil garden. If you use a chief diplomat deals a browse term, his populace the nationalist positions, have a tendency to rival the western establishment and where to start there. Its hard to know. Hes 1st of all against ukraines integration into nato. Hes been really vocal about that. He said, the reason why the conflict in ukraine kicked off in the 1st place is because of all the violence towards the rest of the phones in the don bass region. Hes been particularly vocal about the need for peace rather than continued war and ukraine. But as none the less said that slovak he is military Industrial Complex can continue to cash in on weapons sales to ukraine. Because hey, why not . Whos military Industrial Complex isnt right now. But ever since hes green live that the government greenwood that hes been basically going around complaining about it. So obviously hes trying to keep them happy and off his back. Because hey, its probably not a very good idea to make enemies with the military Industrial Complex. Probably best to placate on, but he also said this, this will rocketing governor would not be sending military aid over to ukraine, just humanitarian a to some extent, and hes cited corruption more recently. He reacted to french president a menu or not cones. Obsession of talking about some potential future Troop Deployment to you for and features said, hey, look, i really dont see that happening. And not only that, i dont really see ukraine is back use problem at all. Okay. And i, its lock in his other and bigger problems than ukraine. We dont agree with the army in ukraine. This will do everything also as a part of the e. U, and support efforts for peace and ukraine and efforts to start these think associations on ukraine. The initial step o d, at todays meeting, became clear that i have different opinions on some topics with mister Prime Minister of ukraine. Above all, it is a view of the war in ukraine. I retreated that i did not believe you in the military solution to this conflict system asked for my done you in 2014. After the my done ukraine became entirely controlled by the us. Why did the russian present order the use of military force and ukraine . Mentioned mexico next to you with his defense ministry, an entire political scene, including the present and government under full russian control. Now imagined mexico joined in military organization with russia. Police, a decisive role. What would you do this argument, these rational ukraine is not sovereign, and its entirely under us control, discuss, residents. I am against the membership of ukraine in nato, and i will veto it. It would merely be a basis for world war 3. Nothing else. Ukraine is not an independent and sovereign country, it is under the total influence and control of the United States. Just the other ne feet, so its railing about the you to as a buyers on the tv during the visit over there complaining that the blocks and tolerates of independence thought like is a real problem. And in the wake of this assassination attempt to de condolences were quick to roll in from some a fee goes political allies this as a nation attempt of Prime Minister rubbers. Because shocking in stunning who would have thought that such a brutal tech would happen in Central Europe would help with his speedy recovery and pray for him. Theres a great need for Robert Singleton slovakian in european politics. Shocked by the shooting of my long time colleague, Prime Minister, robert fitz, so as the block. Yeah. I wish him much strength. My thoughts are with him in his family. I was deeply shocked by the heinous attack against my friend Prime Minister robert vid. So we pray for his health and quick recovery. God bless him in his country. I am shocked by the attempted assassination of robert fitz. So a great friend to me in to serve you. Dear friend, i pray for you and for your health. You are paying commission prizes. And ursula vander lined. Defacto queen of europe also denounced the active violence. She also sent her best spots to the family and to feed so no wishes for a speedy recovery though. Guess hes free to take his time during the president ial election in march feats. Those opponents were drumming out fear over citizens voting for a seat. So ally Peter Pelligrini but well people voted for him anyway. The president ial election will decide if slovakia truly stays in western club or joins hungry or bela roost. The fear is that pelligrini will act hand in hand with fee goes direction of Foreign Policy, which could have a devastating effect on slovakia. Here that folks you should probably fear your own democracy. Well now some of the feats of allies are straight up painting this attack on the vibe, but that was created by opposition. Politicians like that and also the media rhetoric that went along with it. Most of the vonnie ladies and gentleman enrollment fee. So it was not only the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic but also a friend on behalf of the Political Party submit a slight back social democracy. I want to condemn in the strongest possible times. What happened to day in hand . Gloves, and at the same time express my disgust of what youve been doing here for the last few years. You the liberal media of the political opposition or hatred, youre spreading against robot, please, sir. What a gallows you have a rex it full heavily this anger this rage and this hatred is the result of your actions today. Progressive for means high all positions of the liberal media. And you just the reaction of the western process been interesting, if not totally predictable, qualifying feats. So 1st and foremost as an ally of russian president , binary pulse. And because of course, Everything Everywhere has to automatically be related back to putin and russia. Nothing can exist. Vacuum all on its own. Britons telegraph newspaper also reported on the attack saying and the headline that feed. So head turns back. Yeah. Into one of brushes, only allies, kind of like see, look what happens to you when your friends, which is a 180 degree turn, or a bare bach 360. If youre in germany from the usual take, that would be its punches enemies who get this time treatment and now theyre saying its his friends too. So i guess it just really cameron. Were getting more of this in speaking with formative Virginia State science, and mr. Richard black and he explains that this attack is a reflection of a deeper struggle inside your opinion. Theres tremendous nervousness and from from ukraine and from elsewhere within the whole nato alliance. Anybody who breaks ranch presents a threat. Slovakia is a small country, generally speaking thats 5 and a half 1000000 people. But is just their ability to add weight to what the Prime Minister or bottom rate has been doing. All of us instead of one you dont have to, and then it becomes much easier to have a 3rd or anything say the ways that we are seeing a tremendous course. Were not gonna be 84. 00 to throughout europe against all of the popular shape or price range. The because i think that theres a fear that will have the populace parties like the a f d party in germany. Which i know well have an upsurge, and well begin to take the side of the people of germany in this case for all of the other countries. But its just representing the bureaucrats and brussels. They will began to represent the people that the people of europe do not want war with russia. Its that simple. Were already saying with the a f d party in germany. All of a sudden, theyre all sorts of legal claims that you know, being made against the members who are running for office there. Theres a, theres a crime against the a f d that one of their members has a russian spy on his staff. And so theres no limitation on what to do. Obviously they yes, estimation is heres the last of the last strong weve heard from a former officer in a foreign minister. Cant recognize. So he joined the idea. She thinks that this attack is a reflection of the rhetoric thats been spreading across europe. Have a listen a, its a climate of very bad wrestle. Rick hands i, i shared his assessments that the climate of violence, thats climate has made impossible. Any sort of civilized debate of different opinions we have in many Central European countries, including germany and austria, white and black. That is no time. Last little space for any grade. There is no space for any live friends that live. Its all about the army. When i saw the unfortunate the very 1st reactions of bias um social media in ukraine at the bottom line or some of those posting flaws for next. I mean its, its horrible. Its like, uh, in, in the, in a, in a kind of why west the game was next on the list to be executed. And the man who was arrested is 71 years old. You know, hes not the, hes not the young. Uh, id say testosterone driven by roland guy. I know hes a 71 year old man who has had his life and who unfortunately sees no other way to channel his hatred to his emotions, whatever. Maybe he, he has not had enough uh, web posting. So of hatred, so this is a, this is a very, very deplorable situation because his tennessee that some of them get out of their, uh computer or the room and, and uh, they really secure diamonds and get into bloody actions. Its a black and a confrontation. Its has become even hysterical, highly emotional, i always speak of teenagers and other thoughts and its even can become loving as we see you with this as a nation of them. So im going to, its not, its not a surprise. And if we pushed out further, who would see more and more, a kind of trends going out of the paula mans into the streets and that it becomes danger very dangerous. The general, all of Us Special Operations come on to set the quiet pont out loud. You specifically know, hit the presence of British Special forces on the ground in ukraine during his recent interview with the Associated Press. The article was very quickly edited, but the way back machine remembers itll do. United states is taking a lot of Lessons Learned out of the experience in ukraine, mostly through the eyes of our u. K. Special operations partners who not only have done that in their formations, but theyve also learned very quickly that they needed other elements of their joint force. He told the Associated Press in the interview. Off the, the article was edited. The official statement regarding persons presents in ukraine was suddenly deleted, as well as the pod which earlier said that the washington is learning the lessons from its new k partners. The article size of an example given by the Us Army Officials in which he states that the british come on those need help to quote, get them to understand the ways ships operate in the black sea and how they navigate. We gaze, reaction with john listening Strategic Affairs expert. Come in hon. Ill mostly the internet to be shipped from United States as you get that it get escalate the g, the whole scenario bar. And thats what i need to and i keep getting them and us has one of the staff they uh, i mean if they, with the dollars you know, table for basically part of the law then for me by the law. And that is very dangerous for the piece of the your be something was and it can, it is like a, i would say that you do the kind of approval vision for this. Yeah, i always said that many which many speak america have a view, a standard many do something for their favor. They would talk about freedom of speech, but then maybe some degree decides them or thats something to explore. American people, gracie or somebody to explore, deal to stand on the homeric god your the standard of, uh, you know, beautiful speech are different and they use their full rent, install any kind of information we can do for them that i do or their perception on the was the multi photo world before our eyes. Russia is leading statesman, right, that trucking down to stay as all 3 lands in china. Its the thought of id move hootons to day trip and his 1st trip abroad since last weeks integration signed the on the agenda from building bricks. The new soap road ukraine and the gaza. Correspondents are in the region to companies. This is his 1st visit since his 5th annual gratian as leader of russia. And of course, he is said to meet with shooting, paying on the what quite interesting the vladimir put it will be joined by 2, both the full and kind to ministers of defense of russia. Surgery show who and, and re below. As of respect to these, its uh, also other ministers, its diplomats, its businessman and its advise that they are not traveling empty handed. They do have a 6 stack of documents ready to be signed, then many of them are probably out of commercial in nature. So what it basically translates is big money and big business deals are about to be signed here. There is a warrant on his arrest issued by the International Criminal court by him visiting china. And of course, by shooting paying the chinese leader, giving him a very warm welcome. He. Yeah, it kind of, it is all about diplomatic signal. A good kind of shows it is very of a very in your face gesture towards western nations who have been trying to isolate rush. I think shes like that because the visits the past few years. Hes 1st visit since he is a little victory. And theres no gratian again, this is something weve been repeating since for for several years now. Relations between boston and china, our to historic high eighties. Theres honestly a difficult to over estimate was over state. How far relations have come . They seem like many other countries, once the ukrainian crisis to be finished with the move, it wants peace, it has put forward what is the most realistic piece plans that have been put forward like the west approach, where but you cant get everything a bunch rush it gets nothing and gets humiliated to boot based, can propose as practicable and constructive steps to achieve peace by refraining from pursuing vested interests and constant escalation of tensions minimizing the negative impact of the conflict on the Global Economy and the stability of global value change the steps build on the idea that we need to forego with the cold war mentality. Unfortunately, neither ukraine, northwest and patrons support these initiatives. They are not ready to engage in an equal, honest and open dialogue based on Mutual Respect and consideration of each others interests. They are reluctant to discuss the underlying causes, the very origins of the global crisis. Instead, western the leads are stubbornly working to punish russia to isolate than we can it supplying the key of authorities with money and arms. They are illegally trying to appropriate our foreign assets. They are turning a blind eye to the resurgence of not season and to ukraine sponsored terrorist attacks. And now territory when it comes to sight of russian relations. Ukraine at the end of the day is a minor footnote. They all based on well that may approve the squads is a trust. And. 1 open dialogue, but theres a pause much more a to its in that year to date. Russian chinese trade has grown up by almost 25 percent tre. Does. Its about the culture which really in dollars. So there is certainly much further to do in motion. Chinese relations and vladimir piece in the highlights, a look at the west economic predicament. Look at the how they are stumbling quite naturally. D v d d lack last the growth. Now look at the way the russia in china a development, and he says the p, the russians pivots towards the east towards asia, has been proven to be historically the right decision, the mind, your business thats the take away from china is foreign ministry, which says that the washington is politicking, trade with a power of cit stops around beijing size. It will defend its interest. The move outs is you down to move in, keys to the west, keeps politicized, and trading economic issues. Going to further increase tariffs against china. It will only significantly push out the cost of important goods, causing the American Business system, consumers to bear more losses and making American Consumers pay a greater price. We urge the us to earnestly abide by w t o rules and immediately cancel the term increase against china, john. It will take all necessary measures to defend its rights and interests private assistance. Right. Lets take a look at these numbers because in a recent post on extra by and okay, the big guy just published the code that uncle sam is to you. If you want to buy an electric vehicle from china and that will cost you a 100 percent tax to bring it stated side on the list, does go on. The american leaders had the levy will make American Goods competitive, suggesting the china, it was quote, cheating. China is relies on the other hand, a competitive factors as well, like fortune American Companies to transfer the technology in order to do business in china. I spent a lot of time sheets in early on i told the reason why my been unfair with china. I looked for i said look, so play by the savings if you want. Its not. Comforters has cheated. And weve seen damage here in america. Over the years and certainly ahead of upcoming president ial elections that seem to bite and state of mind has changed regarding tariffs, that is we had from a blogger and political analysts were alex reported by he says that washington engages in some bravo. On the handed techniques have a good listen to this is america using tariffs to try to shut down what we call competition. I thought competition was good america, thats which he builds your business principles on what here we have a prime example of america cant compete. So lets bring on the tariffs, america has this game plan where they figure that if we put a tax or a tear up on an industry, its going to protect an industry in north america. But in fact, they were very, it hurts the consumer. And this is a country in america of over 330 or 40000000 yourself. Individuals that have been suffering high interest rates, the highest and 23 years, and as well, inflation that still is not under control. These inflationary measures that theyve tried to do to slow down inflation havent worked so throwing extra tariffs and taxes on the products is going to fail very clear it has before and it will this time participate. All right, thanks for joining us. Thrown off the international of us or is continuing online to call them telegram. Gov and motors. The i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except were so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. We should be very careful about visual intelligence. And the point obviously, is to create a trust rather than fit the various jobs. I mean with the Artificial Intelligence we have summoning the theme in the robot must protect his phone. Existence was alexis the release of russian states. Never saw one of the most sense communities, nothing was all sense and the same assistance must be the one else holes. Question about this, even though we will then in the European Union, the kremlin media mission, the state on rochester routing and split the r t spoke neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube. The question, did you say a request which is the hello again everybody . Im rick sanchez. This is direct impact and i want you to look at something
