R t international. We start this arrow with breaking news coming out of football game, or the countries Prime Minister has been shot and wounded robert pizza is expected to undergo surgery in the hospital shortly. The shooting happened following a government meeting. The attacker has been detained while police are investigating his motives. There is tension in parliament after the news of robert fico shooting. One man came from the summer party, came into the chamber and shouted at opposition and peace, that it was their fault, and they were responsible. After that, a member of the slovak you a movement shouted at them, you are a public official behave accordingly. Then again spoke to 2 people who were by robert fico side when he was shot. I had just gone to shake his hand, the older man said, when the shots rang out, i almost went deaf, said the woman who did not want to give her name. She heard 3 or 4 shots, c r t is marina cus, reva joins me now in the studio. Marina, that store early on getting information is really difficult, especially accurate information. What do you know so far about what happened . Yes, there are a lot of on confirmed reports, so its very important to be careful. But right now, just the latest were getting is that the attacker was apparently 71 years old. He has been detained as we know now lets go back a little bit and discuss how this happened. Basically, this locked in Prime Minister. He was attending the cabinets of ministers of slovakia. He came out in front of the house of culture and a town called hand glove, which is a 150 kilometers ne and brought this level. He came out to his supporters and then all of a sudden shots for flyers. So my witnesses are saying that there were around a 4. 00 to 5. 00 shots, then the Prime Minister fell to the ground. The security guards are rushed to him and then they squares into the car, which we can see in some, in some of the footage that appeared on social media. Because again, of course, there were people that had the supporters, some people were filming, which is how we got this footage. So they put them into the car and then afterwards they use the helicopter. And then they took into the hospital and brought this lava. We heard that he has a wound to his stomach to his chest. At 1st we heard that his condition was critical. Right now were getting reports that he is stable again lets, lets see what happens with that. Of course, its very interesting as to why this happened. In the, lets not forget that again this like in 5 minutes. So this is not the 1st time hes been and political background for quite some time now and the political sphere. He was the Prime Minister twice before from 2006 until 2010, and then again from 2012 on so 2018. And then there was a pause period and then he was elected once again last year as the head of a populous nationalist call. Ition already in the west for media other speculating why this happened. Could it be because hes a fan of let him have boots and apparently, and because of his anti ukraine status. Lets take a listen to what sky nice, for example, is debating. I joined by our ministry. Ive list unexplainable thing professor michael cluck to give his thoughts on the feedback. Thats very devices instill my case device within the user accounts. Im not surprising that this, this sort of event might take place because its a very unhappy country at the moment so that i can not just on this basis, but on the basis of, of, of how the country is going in general store to more forward to every in future or a more conventional west european. Thats interesting how they seem to think that if someone is pro rochelle pro fruits and then thats why there were shots, people are out there trying to shoot people who happen to agree with the policy. All of the russian federation, again, for example, all their Media Outlets are also saying that he had an answer and some language policies. Why are they not focusing on that . For example, im trying to debate may be with someone from us that have who had an infant at the moment of what we know 71 years old, the attacker has been detained. The Prime Minister is currently in hospital unconfirmed reports say that he is stable, but again, well wait and see. And of course, the motives. This is what, aside from the Health Health is number, want to make sure that the Prime Minister is of course, safe and sound. And 2nd, Everyone Wants to know what for the motives behind the attacker. Right. Western media though, so predictable every time. Absolutely. Yeah. Marina, thank you to well, here is further its taken just after the moments of the attack, the Prime Minister was reportedly shot following a Regional Government meeting. He was airlifted back to the Capital Branch of saba. The dutch Prime Minister has sent his best wishes to his football. Ken holly, shocked by the shooting of my long time colleague, Prime Minister rubber depot slovakia. I wish him much strange. My thoughts are with him and his family. All right, lets discuss this further. Now, as independent journalists will provide a look at this level up later, just been shots. Whats your initial reaction . While im, i wont say this to be expected, but we can expect in the world how many more of the problems of that kind. Because robert fi code, whats the best hopes with victoria are from offers supplemented in europe, dont want to pay for them to get a p. M union. Because the, the years we have gone through with stuff will show up on the land and shell mission at the helm of the softest for you, and john, every way and parties on the heart, right . All raising to 25 starter percent in more robot finkel came to power and was very good agency. So on the electric man of 60 and uh yes, 70 important in the sense that he gets a lawyer. A penal lawyer in slovakia speaks very good english, very good russian and slope like of course. And he knows very well the judicial system. A few of the European Court suggests you were present in slovakia in different courts and that the European Court of human rights, which is an infamous body, that criticizes harpy, all sorts of dispositions by about european guns. So this man is a key personality with victoria, hold on to, to bring all forward off to the european elections. Im a different position and maybe a majority on the right integral component. So it is, p is very important. And i expect with russia, when they pull that it meets all the special pricing id say in the ukraine now, which is becoming more and more evidence for everybody who is, is really in great difficulty. We dont have the money. We dont have the industrial basis of to how to grain of you from if we wanted to. We have people like my goal with separate piece of lead dot drugs. You would send to the 20000. 00 through the consent to the on to your brain, which is the crazy thing golf. We have people like a robot. People in europe that can say no, that say no to the sanctions on russia that say number 2 onto ukraine. Or like victoria bunks. Okay, we can help. You might need to add in a, you know, a house um, um is, and you know, uh the supplies to ukraine but no arms. So, fee goes right, by the way, said all the armstead, the slovak army, possess, have been given to you grain. Im at the beginning of the special operation by the form of government. So this man is fairly courageous and we meeting badly and your look as far as a possible motivation for the shooting. I know its, its early of course, and we really dont have any way of knowing what would be in the mind of someone who do Something Like this, but was, was robert feed, so hated what to use. So disliked because of his views i supposed to use the when a little bad, every wedding unit on the extreme left and, and many of the governments in place ill become becoming, be served completely crazy about russia for the moment. And so anybody who has a few black robot feet co batch um, you know, russia is said to be taught to and that the ukraine situation can not be accept that the way washington is trying to impose the entry of your brain to mantle is stupid. When creating a problem, evidently hes test on so to speak, to, or problem and all those. And many leaders in a new or even those like not even by you look bad in the, in from dont say anything and a lot about russian all the, you find conflict for the moment. Everybody knows what the basic and um of it is. It does work with the present central ration and again, the victories of russia all the russian army on the you crime and saw him make it that you will have um, probably propped himself that kind in youtube in the coming months. And um, patriots that develops a hatred for russia. Hey, tread felt the people who have come to mind came a balance between russia and your opinion and the west. And you know, again, these key parts. And so we dont know for top the motors. It might just be an issue, but they might be more than that. We have seen whats happened in moscow. Weve seen that these people, these the stomach terrorists and tried to take refuge in your brain, whos behind that . Find it difficult, so well see some fico has been a vocal opponents of the sanctions against russia and ukraines potential admission into nato. That is very inconvenient for much of europe, isnt it . I suggested to sign, i mean on this phrase, the idea of, of trying to, to push your crank into nato and sort of by force that washington has supported over the years since 1990 actually off the promising to gorbachev to, to yeltsin and then into loudy me to put in that. No, we wont go one inch further to the east, not they want to put basis american bases on the board with russia. I mean, everything is in the new york times. So its not me. Oh, all the stream. Right. So to say that it says that it is the american newspaper and still, you know, we dont understand the europe that we can all continue like by that we have to stop really cold and brush it will be ready to do so, and called support the ukraine position, which is completely out of whack as the americans say its, its crazy. So again, the blank single off very. We need probably just people like that that could in your pin concept at the counsellor to get up and stays with the colleagues. Select my printer, you showed his support so so called support for the poor, the Prime Minister off of so thank you. Of course thats pure the book, see what you would like them to disappear. So it is, it is kind of difficult for me, are the ones to be the basic regional nato. So you know, you understand his position, said it all, forms the few cold we are on your side. This is not true at all. So im, its this event that a dangerous moment for you to and youd have control of it. So had also pledged to cut weapon supplies to ukraine. Now weve seen the hungarian leader offer his support. Who else are features allies in the u. In . Every country has the parties that support the position or what support the position um, so you know, um and perhaps you have the money in pen sponsors proposal or okay. Then all those of you have also the, the extreme left of middle showing all the stuff that support positions that are close to russia in italy. You have of course, the lead. Got that simple to inspect and you have folks in germany, you have the f b in ethnic conflicts, the future Prime Minister of the methods that is probably pulling a government today or tomorrow. Has views, wood shop, not crow russia, but shop very close to it. If you see what i mean on the same in other countries, in every country in europe, you have boxes that are ready to discuss and dont really support you. Great. All right, were going to live at the root look of a independent journalists. Thank you. Thank you. As like, is the prosecutor general pin, then they attack and said that society was to blame a modern hilton, your dear citizens, if you consider todays attack on the Prime Minister of the slovak republic, to be something unacceptable. And it is the combination of those moods that are nurtured in society. It is a manifestation of hatred. Even it is an attack not only on a person, but also as a Prime Minister now gets an attack on the very essence of statehood. There will be an uncompromising response on the part of the authorities to this attack. And all actions will be taken to ensure that the perpetrator of this heinous act is fairly punished. I wish the Prime Minister of the slovak republic, a speedy recovery on. Lets cross a live now to reggie wd, over our former indian and bastard to italy, romania, and theyll do the end of benny. Im best or good to have you on with us. Id like to hear your initial thoughts to the shooting of the slow back later. Well, firstly, the who rush back you to cover some of the 2nd quickly. Somebody is back in the office as it should be sticking with. Great. Uh, that why this should become the normal circumstances in many seduce in western you should see the streets. So this is some thoughts of germany and foss. This one is by the fugitives immigrants or others. The so the reason for that, or the other is unfortunately, is for check. It can become major issue for those particular countries. This to this you should or go from this is the design, this install interfering enough is of the like this your for literally only on mine says use to make sure the other confusing the words s people there should conduct this. I think that they should look in words and try it and see yeah, your policies of all the cyber wireless scanning news published a piece that came out less than an hour ago. That said, quotes over the years. Feet so has become very pro russian. Im wondering what are your thoughts about that kind of language . It came up precisely after the assassination attempt. Im wondering what, in terms of the language of pro russian, what are the implications there exactly this that, that was the last part of my biggest statement that saw interviewing in the countries was was, does this looks like newspaper from speed have to born in judgment that they should be not fine because the problem is just so watchable that was considered to rush it was that just bizarre. They dont want us to put a lot of forwarding policy or the mother or the she should not concern or the confuse to their site. Wireless and say this should that the statement, the correct, thats such a thing. Yes, hopper is 0 by the spanish newspaper seems to be just to find that. Yes. So why does this happen because of this for its no use, it is still very early now, but im wondering if you have any thoughts about what kind of motivation could potentially be behind that this has this destination attempt. I know all World Leaders are potentially at risk, but do you have any thoughts about that . You know, i would like to follow the example of this stanish newspaper which will just filter what . Well, i would say is that this is a lead times to, to get into who did it, why did they do it . What does this mean division . But let me say that it just died that, well, i knew this should Work Together and worked for peace work through the societies as incentives, things that are happening. For example, in the other 2 months, we update of the kind of the incitement to for the war, which is you want to buy isnt by the you agree to mark me up. So if it does nothing of the state level dentist and the also big strong didnt publish the site from selecting the individual. One of the examples we just saw was the vision. The judge said mister people. So lock is, attorney general has said he believes the attack is a combination of public sentiment. What your thoughts on on that and what kind of support the speeds will have within his own country. I know he doesnt have have much support perhaps in other western european countries, but within his own country, does he have a lot of support boosting home . So i think if, if you didnt have support to mr. Back country, so that by itself is a statement after he was elected to do this a. So b as opposed to them as just as the, as a whole, just already for some of the support this sunday. So i think you should not judge. And then just why this is doesnt misuse that you were saying that the a me see so did have a Security Team around him. And yet he was shot in broad daylight. What are your thoughts on that . Who is going to have to answer for that . I think this is been to one time again that the best security in the world cannot escape one bullet system on the rent one. Will it for finding it . Stop it. It does happen a lot of times or 2 of our Prime Ministers. Let us as an agent, this is on b and then that the mission of down to the america, stopping with the mr. Kennedy. So is it going . Assassination attempt uh can more be rented by the most determined Security Team in the world. So it does all need to be different. So the security on the need to find out for the rent, most of the seconds then to 1st year such as i mentioned this as an issue in advance from austin version by society for how many months in this website. How do you think the rest of your full react to this . What, what are you expecting when i say any say revise listing and thats my reaction for it. Because if it happens to mister, this is what happened from mister b in another country. So to a lot its this. Busy something at this that would not be supervised yet. So i expect to be the defenses. Were to be the personal feelings or to be judges. Excell whiners mostly. And then it would be peace loving, responsible citizen of the word feed. So was a vocal opponents of anti russian sanctions, as well as the cranes admission into nato. But also, just a few days ago, he publicly rejected the world house organizations pandemic accord. Uh, what can you tell us about his stances that have riled some of those who are in power . So let me take the last part, 1st of of the word of the issue and check mr. People was not the only one in the work to convince the conductor word. And she is both standing by almost every country in the way that instead of showing leadership long as needed. And she has to be more than organization just decided to take it easy. So mr. People were not alone and that the 2nd thing is that what it will be the persons different meanings or to the persons needs. Or the other part that youre doing is choose for them to be of a
