west continues to blame russia for europe, energy crisis, e. u member, hong gary approved the construction of 2 new nuclear reactors by moscow. the countries foreign minister praises the thanks to these 2 nuclear units, we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population with hello from r t. enter national studios in moscow to wherever you may be watching on payroll is about with the top news stories from this. our happy to join us. we start with the latest on the ukraine conflict, rushes air defense system has reportedly gone into action near the city of f, but doria in the crimea. ah, this video posted on social media late on friday evening claims to show explosions in the night air region allegedly found by local residence. russia is yet to confirm that its air defense system went into action. earlier friday, 5 people including 2 children, died after ukraine shell, the settlement a cooper, your shareable in this upper roacha region, which is under russian control. you have the military was using american hi, marge rocket system. according to the regions governor among the infrastructure damage was a residential building. although a member of the regions administration says there were no military objects nearby in the lugens people's republic, 3 people died and 7 more were wounded when a hospital came under fire from kiev again with us provided high marsh rocket launchers, that's according to russia's defense ministry meanwhile, ground fighting continues in the don. yes republic were russian back troops are advancing on towns uses foreign positions by the ukrainian army. one of them is my very inc, near don. yes, where our teeth romani closer have visited the republics army. ah, the 2nd tank battalion of the nest people's republic armies. 5th brigade are now working against the enemy, czar gets in its own orfa, madi and god. the city of the nest is still constantly b as shelled by ukrainian nationalist. and these guys are instrumental in destroying ukrainian army positions just on the outskirts of the nest in the town all for marian got, according to officials, at least 75 percent of the town is now free and they'll be making sure that there are no more ukrainian artillery positions we're now at the headquarters of the 2nd tank battalion on the outskirts of dianetics. the tank is already working against the ukrainian nationalists positions . now these guys are now operating the drone, which is, are right above the tank. and so they making sure that it hits the target that it needs a little to look. we approach them though, and you said you list areas well fortified. the defense was prepared in advance, so it's hard to move forward and we do it slowly, but with determination for the shims resumed the fundamental difference between him and assist that we protect our lance, our children, parents, and all citizens of the don. yes can. luke ganske republics, while they destroy us in our families, they a cold blooded this soviet c, 64 tank is back from the front line as you can see it. so all, in fact the crew are safe and sounds and like they said, they were working against the ukrainian nationalists, military positions. right now they will reload and head back to the front room on call for if hearty, the nest people's republic in the upper ocean. the ukrainian military opened fire 10 times under regions nuclear power plant on friday. that's according to local russian, back to officials. his say the shelling has hit an area used to store radioactive waste. no damage was reported and the radiation level is said to be at a normal rate. we got an insight into the situation at the plant, europe's largest from al, as say, and padded logo of a former worker there. who says that any further ukrainian shelling would mean a constant plaque out for millions of residents, but we've got the answer. never is human history. fortunately has active military action been waste near nuclear power plant and is the 1st time that a policy to the conflict. i e grain has deliberately targeted a nuclear power plant with the intention of hitting this most vulnerable pass. the containers was the most dangerous and the most radioactive materials, of course, weren't billed to sustained attacks by a multiple rocket launch system or high caliber artillery. but there is a very high chance the sooner or later there'll be a direct hit on one of them. graham, before the conflict, these approach a nuclear plant power, it's 20 percent of all ukraine. but every 5th kilowatt hour was produced there. of course consumption has reduced dramatically in ukraine now because a lot of industries thought and masses of people left. it was only because of this that the ukraine in electrical system didn't collapse and thursday when there was a temporary power cat. so ukraine, things by hitting the plant, there won't be a boomerang effect. guest them all, but there will be and for the millions of people living in the region, if the shell and continue, it will mean constant blackouts. and for a long time, boys called our showers, lower indoor temperatures and dark shop, windows and streets. that is what e u government are preparing their citizens for duty. the unfolding energy crisis, drastic measures to slash electricity consumption, could significantly affect hundreds of millions of people. now germans will have to sit in cold off. this is in walk past unless buildings in the evenings while the fins will have to reduce the time they shower and use digital devices that has electricity. prices are rising significantly as households in the u. k. will pay 3 times more than for heating than before. it's all russia's fault. that's according to the german chancellor, olaf short saying moscow is to blame for all the sanctions against itself, as well as the resulting energy crisis in europe. the politician also held russia's leader vladimir putin to blame. but thank god, it is everywhere. people talk, i'm report how insane. he says that we had trade for decades. that there was economic exchange shoals taught a mistake was, i don't think it was a mistake. lexmark is putin who made a mistake when, instead of putting the interests of his own country 1st item, unless he was satisfy his own imperial megalomania at the expense of the russian citizens who will suffer the most can the end. and so the german chancellor, whose country is facing de industrialization, power rationing and black out dangers from self imposed sanctions, is now accusing russian president vladimir putin of not looking after russians, citizens. pretty sure the lights are still on in moscow and that moscow isn't forcing austerity on its own citizens. unlike french president emmanuel mac hall, who suggested that coming down the pipe when he evoked the quote end of abundance earlier this week, sounds like schultz could use one of those self help courses that teach you to take responsibility and ownership for your own problems rather than trying to project blame for your own choices and actions on to someone else. putin did not sanctioned germany or the you, you can't control what anyone else does. but you sure can control your own reaction to it. and the sanctions where the choice of the you and it's member states just went along with it. as for sholtes accusing putin of imperial ambitions. well, what about the european union's imperialism? that imposed sanctions on these on member states by demanding the adoption of these economically and socially suicidal sanctions. now, the unelected bureaucrats in brussels came up with these sanctions, and the member states were just expected to apply them on their own citizens without any democratic consultation. now, how is that not imperialism? i special saying that protein quote, made a mistake. then wired germans in europeans, the ones who are paying the price. now russia is pirouetted away from the west towards the global south in asia, while european leaders are going door to door all around the world. asking hey, got any gas for us. by the way, the gas is right in front of schultz is face as a german deputy and member of the parliamentary committee on energy and climate protection has just pointed out. even if the gas storage facilities are full, there will be enough for about 3 months. this winter and then what ideology has to give way to a real fact oriented policy. the only sensible solution is to launch nord stream to remember who 1st sanctioned nord stream to well before the ukraine conflict. if schultz is desperate to find a scapegoat for the fact that governments from spain to finland are now barging into the private sphere to control room and water temperatures and reading their hands over potential unrest and power blackouts. perhaps he should start with those who successfully convinced the you to jump off that sanctions cliff. and that's not russia. that's washington. and while europeans tightened their belts, the u. s. continues to import goods from russia and associated press investigation shows that more than 3600 shipments of various russian goods have arrived in u. s. ports since the beginning of the war and ukraine. according to the report that's a noticeable slum from the same period and 2021 went about $6000.00 supplies were delivered, but it still brings more than $1000000000.00 a month. we spoke with a political analyst who says that such actions illustrate that the u. s. doesn't see its partners as allies. it sees them as ponce. i think the logic here is that these standards apply to europe. that applies to the u. s. colonies, such as a, europe, australia, canada, but the united states. politicians are going to do whatever they need to maintain power to consolidate their power within their sphere of influence. and they are perfectly willing to sacrifice the colonies, the lower level countries within the u. s. empire, the people in europe have to understand that they will be treated as an enemy of the united states. leadership will smile, you know, and say they're on their, on their side, but the us doesn't really have any friends when it comes to seeing world competition. and power, the reality is that the leaders of europe knows something that the people don't know. and that is that the european countries have no independence or sovereignty. and the leaders know that, and they're perfectly happy to acquiesce to whatever the united states leaders want them to do. while european leaders continue to play moscow for the energy crisis to new russian made nuclear power. generators are to be installed at a hungary and power plant. alexi leak, a chair, the head of russia state nuclear energy company rose adam sees the move as a step of mutual trust at the theatre. levy is restored here. this is the 1st license in recent history obtained by rosa tom in the european union. she was, this is very important. these nuclear blocks already have an output in the russian federation. they have been working effectively for several years annually. we are building them in a number of countries. we, this is environmentally friendly and inexpensive electricity. we also have some of the most economically attractive indicators i. e, right? we have been co operating with hungary for many years and there are plans to expand cooperation. making such a decision shows a high level of trust towards our technologies and specialists who trouble reaching the hospital for the 1st time in recent history, russian nuclear power units are to be installed in a european union member nation with construction expect it to begin. as soon as october, moscow, in budapest, sherry long history of mutual cooperation and energy, and the hungarian foreign minister has said he sees the agreement as a turning point that ensures that countries energy security as it might a day and or in hungary we have been working for a long time to expand the existing package, nuclear power plant with 2 new powerful units. what does the moon cry? this work has come to a new turning point as hundreds and even thousands of permits are needed for the construction of a new nuclear power plant. thanks to 2 new nuclear unit that we can insure hungary energy security for the long term and protect the hungarian population from sharp fluctuations and international energy markets. we will therefore insure a policy of reducing utility costs. i think that the obtaining a construction license as a major milestone as a turning point. and that strengthens our hope that by 2030. i mean the nuclear power plant will begin its activity at hawkinsville, georgia. i'm wiley, a senior research fellow at the global policy institute in london says hungary leader is simply trying to do the right thing for his people. dick dorman, has repeatedly said that he thinks the science policy against russia is absolutely ridiculous. and destructive phone, see an economy or a european union is supposed to cover a whole oil imports from russia by the end of the year. but i already got a call out. it's going to go on. he's made clear that he thinks it's just absolutely ridiculous and that he's just a minute to look after the interest of the people who had voted on years nato. it's turning his eyes to the arctic alliance had jen salton burke has made his 1st official visit to canada's frozen far north. despite the country's longstanding resistance to nato involvement in the region. from there, he discussed the economic opportunities intentions. a melting of ice flows could bring increasing parts of the arctic will be ice free in summer. this is unlocking opportunities for shipping routes, natural resources and economic development. but it also raises the risk of tensions . authoritarian regimes are clearly willing to use military intimidation or aggression to achieve their aims. at the same time, they're stepping up their activities and interest in the arctic. stilton berg went on to stress the need for quote, ural, atlantic, security, claiming russia has increased its military activity in the architect placing, quote, the u. s. at risk and accusing china planning a new polar soap road, he said nato plans to step up its activities as a response, but the vice chair of the swedish piece council seemed stilton berg claim. still timber is not being honest about the alliances presence in the region. stalsen bird is a liar, i think when he will make us believe that they have now been in the north for the 1st time. there has been yearly, military exercises in the entire north main door has never brought stability. nato is a war alliance. the golden angel has is not defending anything. they are an attack force, canada in the u. s. bidding in the arctic. the u. s. don't care about anything but defeating russia. that was o crane, among other things is about and while nato has it, i sat on russia on china, norberg again says the alliance has an economic focus on helping western countries plunder the arctic resources under the ice when it's melting. the 5th, all the world's oil is there, and the 3rd of the world's gas, so is under the eyes. so it's not only a lobster cheek am thinking, it's also all rubbing their area from resources as they tend to do from the west. poor europe. what will they do? we know they have these resources and so they are so i and so i think they have to do everything they can in their minds to get hands all their resources in the article might be a way of helping the west in their sense, made a predicament by being so arrogant and right oh, stupid, ah, saudi arabia to invest $1000000000.00 in cash strapped pakistan as the countries economic crisis worsens. the pledge was given after a phone call between saudi arabia's foreign minister and his pakistani counterpart, during which they also discuss ways to enhance bilateral relations. it comes days after pakistan's national banks that had had received another multi $1000000000.00 transfer from the era peninsula, including $2000000000.00 from tar, and $1000000000.00 from the united arab emirates. the investments come, as pakistan continues to struggle with the devastating aftermath of deadly floods. a situation the country's climate change minister has called a quote, humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. pakistani authority say almost 15 percent of the population has been affected by mon, soon reigns and flooding over the last few weeks with at least 900 killed around 3000 kilometers of roads and 129 bridges have also been damaged across the country, leading to a critical lack of access to victims in the most heavily effective areas. pakistan's former ambassador to the u. a and e. r. i. c, durante says le horror i can cope with the fallout, but still needs international help. a now getting together and this is not the 1st time we had a and then we had a new the i won a biological denbigh, the phoebe and again, i'm sorry, a close to $4000000.00 which has been met by a bit. so i think this is one of the conditions we've tried. so dad has step in and it is going to have the problem which focused on has been a cd to the and then with discord of the united nations. less than a 3rd of the organizations, a 193 members, states have back to statement instigated by condemning russia over the conflict in ukraine at a new york gathering of the un security council. the statement was read out by sergei, his 3rd, sy, ukraine's ambassador to the un. signatories include the united states, the european union, canada, japan, and the united kingdom of how countries such as india and china didn't sign. we discussed the lack of unity at the you and with guess so many of us, if we need a, we're not in a all the resolution with the gospel. there's somebody gentle because of the pressure done by the whole country, american wine, most of the time, don't do a fresh and all the countries in order to get them to lucian. what was about now according to then you, me give you why the west is especially the one with the united states and britain and then you know, a ship and then people what they started to know. 6 which is long and reaches wide . washington is beginning to realize that it's an old tool kit using the military and as, as, as a weapon or, and, and bleeding this and using sanctions. i think that they are quite desperate about losing their head gemini, wide, and put them in place for the family. the so called democracy, the united states, as well as movie, is allowing allies in the west to put pressure on these perceive entities including russia and china. i think more and more countries in the developing world, seeing to america's hypocrisy. i'll double standards because you know, american fucking many, many was over the past so many decades. and it's using american exceptionalism. so coalition and bullying other countries. but of course, that this is not something which can be addressed by the letters of the nation shorter and people wondered why now the interference on a property on the states over the buck. here we have the vote of it's not trained trying to impose a 100 the a what the middle east losing the war. yeah. was even in the m and even with french troops in yemen. so nowadays, comparing to the dock, you know you're asking federalism then the fifty's on the 17th century, paul kennedy doctrine trying to surround the bank a seat in the pacific. so i think so that they are not only against russia, they are all against middle powers. and the arrange a connection from shall high to most, call a soon as i want to be, don't accept any other country to be in the forefront or just to be like alive with china. we did the south, the idea of a plus, the brakes. countries in brazil, russia, india, china and south africa from other countries like mexico and gina, and even central european countries are falling to line. so you can see that all is changing. i no longer be paid by you with again, but in washington, and a lot of the western countries still living in a and a g. s. if they can continue to sit on top of the world. ah, a democrat lead subcommittee has claimed that former president donald trump abused his post to promote an unproved treatment for coven 19 slashing out millions of dollars on quickly abandoned tasks with an anti malaria drug. senior trumpet administration officials undermined public health experts because they believed doing so would benefit the former president politically plotting covertly with known conspiracy theorist, dangerously push a disproven corona, virus treatment, bullying sta, to change its vaccine guidance and advocating for federal investigations and to those who stood in their way, the report suggests that trump's administration intervened in the operation of the country's food and drug administration, forcing the body which authorizes pharmaceutical treatments in the you asked to approve tasks, the treat cove it with the anti malarial drug trials which revoked which were revoked. in just 4 months trumps officials are said to have splashed out millions of dollars on the trials. barbara e heart, a republican member of the idaho house of representatives, says that the bite in office creates such reports out of fear of trumps rising popularity. i believe that they're so focused on the trumpet ministration with these false accusations that i believe they're bringing forward because he was effective as a president. and his kids, using his effectiveness were contrary to the those things that that side wanted to accomplish or rather did want to accomplish. and that's fear mongering bars. what the by the administration is doing. i believe that they are playing from a position of defense of being scared. i think they're trying to turn trumping to whatever negative dart board that they can come up with. key poses such a threat to them. it's not even an office. and you can see how worried they are about him and influence and the impact that he continues to have just by being out and speaking of an anti war coalition has criticize a swiss government for purchasing american fighter just without a vote. branding in a mockery of a functioning democracy. the stop f 35 coalition claims that in doing so, the government has ignored petition containing a 100000 signatures. opponents of the deal say the $6000000.00 purchase would hi switzerland too closely to the u. s. calling it an ill suited for the c security needs of the swiss people. the government, meanwhile, has warned that any delay in the purchase would lead to a rise in costs. we spoke with the executive vice president of the eurasian center, earl rasmussen who believes switzerland is becoming more strange from its much celebrated neutrality. they are staying closer to us technology. i think they're being influenced more by walking. well, i think we've seen a gradual shift away from their traditional crowley, but again, we're, we're kind of ignoring voice people, which i see not just in switzerland but across many european then. and i would say the u. s. as well, also interesting here and up until recently, all their military was reserved on call only recently have, have they actually brought on active boards and i think there's about maybe 1500 active air force pilots, the support personnel. so you're going to see right now you're saying impact from an energy cost impact on a, on a food costs impact on. and i think you're seeing the impact on the supply chain area with which i think we're only seeing the early stages. and that's the route for this. our top news stories from around the world. thanks for tuning in and for more news head over to r t dot com. and don't forget to follow us on twitter. see at the top of the hour ah, ah a becomes the advocate, an engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves will the part we choose to look so common ground? ah . with hello in welcome to cross out. were all things are considered? i'm peter lavelle, probably the most important and impactful piece of political advice ever given was it's the economy, stupid. indeed, the economic and financial condition of any public transcends ideology. and it is ideology, neal liberalism, to be specific. that is driving the world into recession. ah, crossing the global economy, i'm joined by my guess, michael hudson in new york. he is a professor of economics at the university, missouri, kansas city as well as author. forgive them their debts in north florida. we have tom longo, he is publisher of gold, goats and guns, blog and newsletter and in los angeles we crossed to pi, ian. he is.
