So thanks for joining us during this breaking News Coverage or not. You International Fair to admit that pakistani politics has become increasingly volatile as of late. But are you surprised by this attack . Thank you back we the show. Look, im not surprised. This was bound to happen. Iran has been strengthened at the at the trick that only been increasing over time. Unfortunately, iran has not taken it to kennedy very seriously. That is the reason why it happened. This was expected, always broad. Its why its called the one of the reports are coming in at least one, but what had been killed now to be awakened for 40 wrong because this is not supposed to be to be the people who want to and there are plenty of them will not stop before they deliver, they did so therefore should be for the future. Be sure on diction, around if any good without the public. But mr. Mr. Sharp, you say this was bound to happen. You call this a wakeup call to him. Wrong call. And if thats the case, will it force com to rethink or will interest him . Bolden him and his supporters. Well look, i mean the thing about him, ron, is whether you like it or youre just like it. Hes a model based. He believes that when the time is up, hes going to go. Now thats all when its good. I mean, all people think that there is someone in that but at the same time, the doctor make sure that we take the protection required to take it down to community. You know, i just told that this time it brought the whole to the want to know i want to get, im going to prevail for the been that he think the biggest security on that brought that david dont know him to go on the security protocol and i guess choice, but to be a guy has come with a call and group of people think springs on the beat that bronze time is our red line. And if you cross that line and youre inviting the bucket on, so its going to be a big deal, but not get to that point. But let me look, it was, it was back in april 2022, wasnt it . It was, it wasnt long ago that a no conference motion was placed against iran con and his government, he was removed as Prime Minister. Hes been struggling to get back ever since now hes been leading these tens of thousands of people on this. What 5 day march to the capital calling for fresh elections. What do we know about the gunman so far . Are you thinking a lone wolf missed a shot or could that be something bigger at play . I dont believe the person was shot had been wrong, would be there would be others behind him. Unfortunate be the present government of focused on contracts. The people who dont have big, but its not the crime in the person scenario will give us the political law for the longest time, but it will be streaming, right . This seems to have been the trick. Its about that you dont get broad and the day to pay, but im sharing with you what i what i pink off the mr. Shot. The moment i heard about this is estimation attempt. I immediately thought have been as a boot, or maybe im showing my age. Was it 2007 there, a striking parallel to the bed as a boot, or was that a former Prime Minister herself who was trying to return to power . And she ended up assassinated during a protest rally, didnt she . Absolutely, the spot on the and the moment we heard the news, it brought back memories all in a do to put that mission in 2007. Unfortunately boxed on is not a history to get a follow up. Ad it is someone for the front street. Was it 80 to 90 percent of the people that are rounding guy did the trick to pocket it. God forbid something up, the street brought it 10 times more than what would happen if somebody like been able to profess all the report before i brought to make sure that security is beat up. And as i said, the, i know that i see social media wrong. People come forward even with iran popping to get security. Betty buried us on a thumb shoT International lawyer geopolitical analyst.

Alright, the latest developers not from don bass, where ukrainian artillery had struck the center of the city this thursday, wounding at least 3 people that is according to local officials. I will show you some of the latest for the job we got from the scene where one of the shells landed near a bus. You can see it took some damage with passengers on board. Also getting hit by all types of debris and shrapnel is a report out from the scene with our teeth. Roman cousin ukranian nationalists continued shelling residential areas of the nest. This time this struck the center of the city. Once again, there is not a single military position around here, but plenty of hospitals and shops. Now, this bus was frog. This is where 3 people were wounded. He can see the blood is still on the ground. Now the victims are now in a nearby hospital where another shell had at landed as for the bus itself. Well, not a single window is intact. Now this is a where shell fragments struck the passenger bus. He then preceded on another 2025 meters just rolled on, but the point of impact itself was in this apartment building. As you can see, the cars are also without windows, so that means a shell. Fragments are absolutely everywhere. Now this is one of the busiest streets in the neck is right in the center of the city. Theres quite a lot of for transportation routes. Now there are quite a lot of shops and as i said, there are a hospitals here as well. Schools and kindergarten, so absolutely purely at residential area. Now, according to the criminalists who are working on the scene, ukrainian nationalists might have used to cluster munitions, which is designed to inflict as much damage as possible. Now theyre saying that this could have been a 152 millimeter caliber weapon. This strike by ukrainian artillery took place just after its an a m, right after this store opened its doors for customers. Now the fragments of the shelf flew absolutely everywhere. Take a look at these holes in the walls. I miraculously no one was killed in this and sack. However, the owner of the store said that fragments of the shell hit his clothes and said, this is his account of what had happened. Buick looked whats available. We were in the store, the 1st shell hit the building itself, and then there were 4 more explosions near by. The fragments flew towards us. You can see them everywhere. It pierced through everything while we were running a piece of shrapnel hit my jacket. Its a miracle i survived. Thankfully, no one was killed in this particular instance, free people are now in the hospitals being treated for their wounds. However, over the last 24 hours, at least 3 civilians have been killed in the nest peoples republic and multiple were wounded by ukrainian artillery shelling room on call for. Have archie dun ask republic all made while in the a hearse on reach and officials are saying that a ukrainian force is attracted administrative building of the city of oak a lie of kristen and no one was wounded despite the damage inflicted on the building. While i meanwhile, a team of italian journalists examining positions abandoned by Ukrainian Military forces and bon bass, say theyve uncovered pieces of neo nazi paraphernalia. Will show you some of what was found and the donates can look out for public spun a swastika in the middle of an unofficial ukrainian battle flag in a banner of the notorious as of battalion with its neo nazis, wolfs folk emblem with a greek and austria and flags are left scattered to this among that of the former ukrainian positions now extremist battalions particularly, i doubt. And as all, far officially, a part of the Ukrainian Military, the un has previously accused such groups of committing torture and rape during the past 8 years of the don bass conflict. Italian journalist vittorio to angelo, and he says at western Media Outlets have been glossing over neo nazi forces because, well, there are an Inconvenient Truth in the establishment narrative against russia. He may have g state channels and newspapers are trying to justify ukrainian ultra nationalists and nazis. For example, in more you pull, they called the members of the off battalion new partisans, an anti fascists. Turning a blind eye to all their nazi symbolism and essentially justifying their actions the world has tried to whitewash such movements as i dar and the ease off regiment. The public knows very little about the situation that has been going on in the dawn bass for the past 8 years. They dont even know that thousands of people have died there since 2014. The real aggression when Ukrainian Army sought to suppress its own population in the dawn bass has been hidden all this time. I believe that there should not be western propaganda seeking to hide the truth with their rhetoric about anti fascism in europe. Ukraine is something quite expandable in this western lead into rushing game. Few people in the west care about the fate of hundreds of thousands of ukrainians, had to be torn into pieces. The war is against the dawn, best against russia. That is the ultimate goal. Was great to have with us for this program. Japans largest power provider was considering jacking up regulate electricity rates for households for the 1st time in a decade. Of course, its not surging fuel prices in a week yet and weigh heavily on its business. Of a Company Posted a loss of almost 1000000000. 00 us dollars up to 10. By this year. All of japans or 10 major electricity providers of raise their rates as much as theyre allowed to on the government regulation with all but one of them reporting net losses in the past 6 months. Of course it does follow western sanctions imposed on Russian Energy resources. Now the more figures that hide the issue, for example, the japan consumer inflation rate 8 year highs. The cost of electricity recently up by 20 percent or more gas prices also up through the roof. And the costs for the basic necessities is also increased significantly as well. Well, this week, japanese government officials and Oil Executives explained that the country needed Russian Energy to meet demands and thus decided to retain a 30 percent stake in the major russian oil and gas project cycle in one. Unlike europe or the us, japan depends on overseas suppliers for almost all of its energy needs. So its not possible to cut off ties with russia because of the sanctions. In reality, we cannot survive unless we continue to import from russia, even if the volumes are smaller. Audio we talk to expert, promote a could she who says japan is looking at tough times ahead. Lets assume that japanese citizens comes 1st and then its it oh, go on in its allies that you know, the lifeline of people. And so the bands on, in energy import your oil and gas prices are as well as it is the prices in japan. I hear you subsidized, and i think the government also announced it on you and increase the subsidies to keep the cost for household not too high. But i think having said that, a significant increase in price is inevitable. Think around 8 percent our boil and gas import of japan comes from russia. So if the continue, if the st and continues, its going to be a significant cost. And a new saleem project included him as an empty or so for japan today well have supply. Its Energy Sources and japan is heavily dependent on oil in board from the middle east and rachelle as an additional source. Her option for japan, especially after that was shima. A cray says i saw at the stake is quite high for japan. Add to the main inertia her. However, if the straight and continues, i think the band might be are increasing the under pressure from its when its done allies her how to deal with russia. German chancellor, olaf shoulds is on his way to china in a bit too. Or should we say smooth over increasingly fraught relations between the west and beijing . China remains an important business and trading partner for germany in europe. We dont want to decouple from it. This is a great deal of material for an inaugural visit to beijing. We will see cooperation where it lies in our mutual interest. But we will not ignore controversies either for that is part and parcel of a candid exchange between germany and china. But believe it on all shots will be the 1st european politician to visit beijing since 2019 while, as always, with her take on the story. His rachel moss says over in china for claiming the importance of trade with beijing as a German Economy suffers from the sanctioning its own gas supply from russia. But the same time just published that off ed warning against over reliance on china. So it looks like hes trying to keep business going with both china and with washington. Exactly the same time. Good luck with that. Because washington is on a full court press to convince its allies to isolate china. American officials are heading to the netherlands next week to talk about blocking the sale of micro chip making components to china. Japan is also under pressure to fall in line with new u. S. Export controls targeting china, and those chinese made microchips. Heres a former us official spinning this strong army as a wonderful opportunity the allies just couldnt possibly pass up. I expect addressing the common concern about china, then that creates an opportunity for the japan in the u. S. Governments to reduce barriers on trade between japan in the United States. This will actually result in even better cooperation between japan in the United States and fewer restrictions on joint development and production of advanced node items. So theres the carry, but watch of the stick. It may be western ally should asked b u k. How that promised host breads. Us trade deal, kara is coming along is by even half the new Prime Ministers name right yet. Meanwhile, canada is a National Security to dump chinese states and 3 lithium mines. Candice Foreign Affairs minister, housewife sheep shall pena said the country and welcomes foreign direct investment, but not when it threatens quote Critical Minerals supply chains, which is exactly the kind of friends shoring. Reducing supply chain participation to allies only that washington conjured up and announced over the summer with the implication that countries are either on t, washington or there with russia and china. So, you know, pick aside saying National Security to gain economic supremacy. Basically. Last month, china secured a stake in the court of hamburg in germany. Now, an American State Department official is bragging to the western grass that the share was reduced from 35 percent to 25 percent due to pressure from the American Embassy in germany. The embassy was very clear that we strongly suggested that thered be no controlling interest by china. And as you see, when they adjusted the deal, there isnt so, so its is over there in beijing meeting with the chinese. And meanwhile, we have this kind of wizard revised behind the curtain here. A subtle hints from that u. S. Official as to who is running to show you as allies in asia must be getting a bit nervous, particularly singapore. I was just signed a bunch of deals with china and Member States including ill be ceasing of hall, want to maintain good relations with both the u. S. And basing is for both the us and china to f overlapping circles of france. We are not interested in dividing, likes in asia, dont make us choose. We will refuse to choose well display being on the other side of the planet from washington. It looks like the countries in china is on backyard. Like singapore.
