up till now. moscow has done everything. seems to have done everything to pretend that life is just the same as ever in russia. the mass funerals, no weeping mothers on television. the ballet and our proceedings are getting on the way and moscow museums galleries are open. the poppy boats going up and down the moscow river, is this fictional normality about to come to a sudden end to think we'll see full scale mobilization now. yeah, this is the right term fiction on march. put his create these impression then the people are creating needs specialists and persons in name big cities. ah. because for instance have don in who's funnel ellis of his quiet kids a good se state manager. moscow must leaf, so normal life in order to be distracted from all this atrocities some disaster is ukraine in france. and the rest stepped from put aside was not to announce general mil, military mobilization military address because it could provoke discontent among criminal costs. millions of people who are living in the big city or middle says

the truth that vladimir putin is trying to hide and in today's episode the kremlin's gas blackmail moscow signals a cold winter for europe hoping for the lifting of sanctions journalist safronov is sentenced to 22 years in moscow repression in russia continues the new academic year under a blitz in ukraine and under the pressure of propaganda in russia today the 196 day of the war that russian president vladimir putin unleashed in ukraine on february 24th vicious battles are taking place primarily in the herzone and kharkiv regions where ukrainian troops launched their counterfensive about a week ago even managing to regain control of several settlements very little information comes from the location of the fighting itself but one thing is clear dozens and hundreds of human lives are lost every day of the war the massacre of civilians including children will continue every day as long as the work continues tv rain newsroom presents russia tomorrow the winter will be serious russia threatens europe with a cold winter without russian gas my this isn't just a video for a song by singer yule

on someone's personal rules about how vladimir putin describes the storm of the strong ties between moscow and fading. at a summit with the chinese needed, a brussels has been slammed off, telling people to send a bill to moscow as european struggle with thawing energy prices. where you have reached the point where we are unable to pay the electricity bill. we are asked to earn up to 2 salaries to pay energy bills. on the international red cross, they global hunger issue emerge long before the ukraine conflict, despite the west trying to pin the blame on russia with very welcome. this is darcy international with the latest to world news update is good to happy with our this week we've been closely covering the shanghai cooperation summit on the russian president vladimir putin has met with the leaders of china, iran and pakistan on the sidelines off the summer now, the gathering which is being held in the central asian republics is becky's down has really focused on promoting a multi polar weld foreign policy tandem of moscow. and beijing plays a key role in ensuring global and regional st

it sounds like a very ominous threat from moscow— from moscow. it certainly is, samuel. _ from moscow. it certainly is, samuel, thank _ from moscow. it certainly is, samuel, thank you _ from moscow. it certainly is, samuel, thank you for - from moscow. it certainly is, | samuel, thank you forjoining from moscow. it certainly is, - samuel, thank you forjoining us. thank you. let's turn to the us — hurricane ian has made landfall in south carolina, after devastating florida. this is the historic coastal city of charleston — which is being lashed by winds and heavy rain. there are warnings of life—threatening storm surges of up to seven feet. for more on the devastation already caused by hurricane ian in florida, i'm joined now by our correspondent nada tawfik, who is in fort myers, thanks for talking to us. it's looks like even behind you, it's been quite a devastating hurricane. absolutely, we are bent back from the water —— a bit back from the water, and you can see how far the wind, the storm surges through these boats behind me, compl

alright, versus lavin moscow. i'll give you the last word. where do you see this heading caught, cornelia talked about america becoming a big player very soon. where would that leave moscow and is ambitious so it's all about the, as i mentioned, are those started with my are to a point bird. it's about the change in the and the gym and global energy map that's, that's the, the core issue actually. yes. american williams with alan g will come more to european transatlantic actually routes. and so europe ian customers will, will buy more and more american gas actually buy resuming bill. well, angie plans are chill or their bud russian williams, we believe will be day war. totes tor, easton and southam saw them are dust destinations, as i mentioned. and on top of that, as i mention, russia will devour the domestic infrastructure to consume more and more gas williams. so you don't think russia's days are, as an energy superpower are under threat. it's not about that, it's about just just changing the energy map as i mentioned. so it's not the old

with the russian reaction to the un. moscow is not listening to what mister god gutierrez is saying, the law moscow is in another world. russia is bracing for celebrations and the historic speech by vladimir putin president vladimir putin. tomorrow. so, i mean, the logic here is very different. we are in the, i'm, i mean, i'm talking from a place where, i mean, things are seen from a completely different perspective. russians are bracing for what they called the correction of history. i think that those territories belong to russia, and that it was wrong in the 1st place to, to let them go. and now it is time. it is the coronation of this, of the sacrifices given by the but by the russians during this war and before. and it's, it's just less than 24 hours before the before it starts. and that is when the president vladimir putin will sign this agreement with the leaders of the for break away regents who have already landed here. moscow, i don't think that russia is really listening to what the secretary general of the united nations is saying. and they think that the you and is takin

when you have any wood, nikki says originate from moscow. he worked for an energy company which closed down because of the war he's had figured out how to deal with this situation and have started to organize traffic. and what is interesting is people are also organizing themselves, so marketing is always, george is on his way from crowds, nadar to visit relatives in georgia. he tells d w, the border guards don't let every one through, rose. he took my passport and checked to see if i was being drafted. that was it. those who are being mobilized, they just turned them around, just like that. there have been cases like this. the george and interior ministry has already announced. it does not intend to close the border with russia. the russian federal security service has already deployed military personnel and an arm and personal carrier to the frontier to stop russians fleeing their mobilization orders. let's take a look now at some of the other news from around the world. saudi crown prince, muhammad been sell, man, has become prime ministe

to ah ah, this is dw news lie from berlin, ukraine's president has a deal for new russian troops as moscow called up reservists on mats surrender, and they won't be forced to return home to face punishment. meanwhile, russians aren't giving in to the mobilization with hundreds being arrested for protesting again this weekend. also on the program italians go to the polls where they're expected to take a hard right turn and elect the most right when government, since world war 2 plus a new world record on the streets of berlin. but the previous top, marathoner needn't worry, elliott control gay of kenya, set the new winning time himself. will discuss just how remarkable his achievement it's ah, a michael ok welcome. russian installed officials are a holding so called referendums across occupied regions of ukraine. the vote has been condemned by western countries as a sham, but russia is using it to lay the groundwork to a next to for regions. there are reports of residents being coerced into taking part at the un general assembly russian foreign. mister sergei lab ross said that if a next to

ah, leave atlanta, local, die used to live in moscow. she had millions of russian fans. but at the end of february, she publicly spoke out against russia school on ukraine and turned her back on the country. yeah, but you, i want to be on the right side of history on the side of good and truth. moscow's response was swift lobo. dar was prohibited from entering russia for 50 years. that is just one of many examples of how moscow punishes prominent people who publicly criticize the policies of the kremlin. singers actors and divvy hosts had been forced to leave russia. those who stay risk persecution or harassment like aloe vera from ya. katerina bork, with the bens, the singer, vera marcell on the used to be married to a well known rational position politician who's currently in custody because of his open anti war stance. she herself has publicly protested against moscow's policies and is suffering the consequences. ah said the more serious the political situation in russia becomes, the more openly the authorities been our concerts designated and said, no one is official

this is the hash tag that you can see on billboards all around moscow. and of course it's about the people up on rosier harris song. and god, best for the people of these regions. this is really a chance to feel much more secure, much more said to join russia for them is a chance to feel that their culture is being respected, their right to speak, their own language is being respected to feel that they're actually love. now make no mistake. similar rallies with the same mood are happening in different parts of russia, but more importantly and the towns of cities of don, it's logan's people's republic, said the regions of zapata, georgia and hare saw him. in his accession speech, vladimir putin claimed the west was behind. this week's mysterious damage to the north stream gas pipelines running from russia to europe. oh, video in that ms. little new cousin with me just really the anglo saxons have not had enough with their sanctions. they've moved on to diversions, unbelievable, but a fact by organizing explosions on the international gas pipeline to the n

the response from moscow is pretty straightforward. if you're part of the agreement, then that cit, you won't be able to buy russian commodities. and i'm saying commodities because potentially this isn't only about oil. so what are the u. s. the u. k. and allies trying to achieve here? we confirm our joint political intention to implement a comprehensive prohibition of services which enable maritime transportation of russian origin, crude oil and petroleum products globally. the provision of such services would only be allowed if the oil and petroleum products are purchased at or below a price. the price cap determined by the broad coalition of countries we've already heard from the white house that in the energy field. this is the most effective way to punish the russian government. now, when it comes to natural gas, we also heard from of the head of the european commission, or sla funder line that she supports a price cap also on russian gas, not only in europe, but globally to but then comes the question, how can you call that globa

well, that's how the world's look in at 6 30 am moscow time. my name is peter scott, and i'll be back again with another look at today's biggest stories in about half an hour's time. in the meantime, i hope your friday is off to a great start. with official, kevin, it's immediate trolls have made much of the recent counter offensive. however, there are gleeful backing of ukraine has demonstrated beyond a doubt. this is a nato war on russia. the stakes could not be higher. one side will lose and badly . ah these are you sure absolutely go with them for them. we're just with some of the free bush is not sure with the trailer.

and soon, moscow will protect these people. as nato's war on russia continues. how things will escalate? is anybody's guess. ah, crow, sucking the referendums in ukraine. i'm joined by my guess, pepe escobar in bangkok. he's an independent geopolitical analyst and author specializing in eurasia in st. petersburg, we have gilbert doctorow. he is an independent political analyst and author of mom was of an expert pat manager in moscow during the 1990 s. and here in moscow we have white read. he is a journalist with spook nicknames. i tell him across accruals of the fact that means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate gilbert. let me go to you 1st and st. petersburg. the votes are almost al, counted of the results will be in very soon what. what is the significance of these referendums because, versus how the geography, the political geography of ukraine is going to change dramatically as his military conflict goes on. what are the implications? go ahead. implications resting oaks reynolds and the need reintegration over here into the russian fed

he joins us via skype from moscow. thank you very much for being on the program with her that the kremlin has stopped short of giving him a full state funeral. why do you think that is will because sir, the leg is your what a bunch of his very contradictory nevertheless. so president bush in the kima to bay the last tribute to war. much of yesterday when there were a few of people he did not participate in their facial ceremony by the general journalist trying to break her the bad soviet tradition. when every you leader heaped her criticism and the scorn on the previously the accusing him of all the problems. so bridget wants to break that tradition. he's respectful to was going on just like he was respectful towards johansson. however, it is obvious that war mucho's sir, legacies contradictory. look, none of these western leaders who braced him so much came to bathe their last t v door, but off neither a chance of america in the form of johnson america will not know the french or breaches, fetus. they will break the w

s. issued a blunt warning to moscow to stop making nuclear threats, but rush us foreign minister, remain defiant, rejecting accusations of human rights abuses and ukraine. the international community close ranks on russia's attempts to escalate the war in ukraine. thank you for your determination. the u. s. put the blame squarely on russian president vladimir putin. one man chose this war. one man can end it. because if russia stops fighting the war ends. if you crane stops fighting ukraine ends. the un secretary general joined the condemnation, judging boulden for his field threats, use nuclear weapons. surely the israel bass, i have said from the start and the census war has unlimited potential to do terrible harm in ukraine and around the world. 2 year old, the 4 and bone saw the idea of nuclear conflict. once unthinkable has become a subject and debate. this in itself is totally unacceptable. will all nuclear arms states should we commit to the non use and total elimination of nuclear weapons even a poke, receive more. the low asset love, other western allies such as franz said russi

many ukrainians left their homes long before moscow staged. it's so called referendums on their future. those he stayed face the likelihood though now have to live as citizens of russia and perhaps even become fighters for its army. the, with the europe's border agency, front acts as nearly 66000 russians have flooded into the e. you over the last week. as men leave to avoid being called up to fight in ukraine, latvia has declared the state of emergency as it's frontier comes under pressure. kazakstan and ga, reporting tens of thousands of arrivals. he w correspondent maria cutter. mad sir, reports now from a checkpoint on the border between georgia and russia. super, thanks to the georgians for opening the border. it made it much easier for us to live, to live alone with friends, children, our family on foot, or by bike with or without pads. many of these people crossing the border from russia into georgia are doing so to avoid being sent to war. d, w 's, maria cut to mads. they went to meet some of them says the thought of the mobilization o

yeah, let them eat cake, let them send those bills to moscow. well, public reaction to that went over about as well as you might expect. now, vander lyons seems to think that these energy companies are rolling in profits by here in europe. france has already nationalized earlier this year. it's basically a default, which is also sells gas by the way. and energy experts told the french process today that is unlikely that these nuclear power plants, half of which were shut down due to plans decommissioning. and also from corrosion . it is unlikely that they're going to be fired back up by the end of the year, which the government was planning for. and berlin is also now apparently considering nationalizing univer, which is the country's top gas importer, to prevent the energy system from collapsing. so it looks like wagner line may just want to go straight to paris and berlin and asked him to cut a check because it looks like these big energy companies in the u among the 2 biggest economies. and nationally speaking are basically going to be huntin

we're predetermine in moscow and everybody knows it. they were held behind the barrel of russian gun time. in time again, we have seen the ukrainian people fight for their country and their democracy. the ukrainian civilian who removed a russian land mine with his bare hands, the ukrainians abroad, who returned to fight for their country. the soldiers sacrificing their lives to stop russian advances. put miscalculated the resolve of the ukrainians. the ukrainian people have demonstrated loud and clear. they will never accept being subjugated to russian rule. and so the united states will never recognize any territory. russia attempts to seize or allegedly annex as anything other than part of ukraine. secretary general good terrace has said the same. he said yesterday again, and i quote, any decision to proceed with the annexation of don't ask lou hans, her son and zap arisia regions of ukraine would have no legal value and deserves to be condemned. let me repeat that, deserves to be condemned. the secretary general then said it would wh

now some of the biggest rallies were here at moscow. as this is marked on the foreign ministry that looks like a start a yard about right. there is one of the main pedestrian thoroughfares in the center of moscow. a very place, very noisy with loud music too. but the demonstrations have taken place as we understand across the country. and perhaps, as we understand 66 arrests were made, nation why? we did discuss all of this with a political analyst, andrew, a career co who also showed his take on the reasons behind russia's announcement today. that of the announcement of a partial net, a tree mobilization, an outcome of the heart of contra finances and disputable. so this mobile station, 1st and foremost, is meant to stand this thing on. the front lines will stay and watch. they're not going to be pushed back any further closer to the russian board, and they're going to stabilize, if not, be pushed back to what they were before the heart of cancer offensive, or at the very least, the front lines are going to possibly become roches inter

who against him later came a failed qu by hardliners in moscow. the soviet union itself was dissolved, and gorbachev resigned and can yet now more than 30 years later, with russia's invasion of ukraine, comes the danger of a new cold war son on a horse london step, also should president put in russia, hundreds, president, digging new trenches in europe and has started a horrible war and ukraine. it's now we think mikhail gorbachev and realized what he did for our country and all of europe. gorbachev died at the age of 91 in moscow hospital after 2 years of serious illness. and while he was hailed as a man of peace, he is left at a time of war. leah harding al jazeera. earlier i spoke to con, clearly the former irish times correspondence moscow. i asked him 1st about president plot to be put in his failure to attend the death of a former and a new 3rd term instead is always a dangerous times. i recall what happened in china $989.00 on the challenge square events. i was there for the lead up to about and they originated from the depths of who, who y

so we can ask that question to both of the guess and the speak to dimitry in moscow. the us role is over. is it dishonest? is we talking about the full of the, the full of the influence of the us now? well, definitely, and i can tell us the person who as a young journalist, lived in the soviet union and they saw the 1st year a lot of people in the former soviet union. good in myself, we were not against the united states as a benign policeman because the image or americans of the british was very positive at the diamond s nations we still use, i'm very positive. it was, we don't want to leave than you do. i go into what is trashed in the states and in the european union the in the last i would say if you don't. and so yeah. and which led to opening our previous speaker invasion rightly conventional the regime change . i mean the rather that situation congress are seen with. busy para what's going on in your green? well, i can tell you, for sure. i wasn't there to 1014. they booked in tara, at what sort of newland did in ukraine in kia into 1014. because our president,

and how will moscow respond? this is inside still. ah, hello and welcome to the program i'm fully by t bowl. after nearly 7 months of fighting ukraine has finally begun to regain some of the territory it last to russia. it says its forces are continuing their rapid advance in several areas, including the northern khaki region in the past few days. forcing moscow to pull back its forces. it's raised the question of how far they can go. now in response to those gains, ukraine says russia is attacking its power and water supplies in khaki, official se missile strikes calls blackouts in several areas, including the main city. power was restored in denise pro petrov, donnie esque, and so me by midnight on sunday, but khaki remained in darkness. an estimated 9000000 people were affected, including in area is controlled by russia. now, despite the days of battlefield setbacks, the kremlin stopped spokesman, insist the war is on track saying the special military operation is underway and will continue until the goals that have been set are ac

tomorrow, the stage has been set up in moscow. for fridays events, the united nations says any annexation would violate international law. that's it from me and the news team don't go away though. news asia is up next. after short break with bearish vantage on gabrielle 1st in berlin from me and the news team, thanks for watching with ah, with a 3 russian oil is being sold illegally. an investigative team documents, the criminal activity on the you can see as 3 ships, owners hunt oil from russian tankers. they violate the you, oil embargo on a massive scale focus on europe in 60 minutes and body d, w. a thought they were great a mm hm. when you were given architect, go online or not at all. women in architecture. why are they so invisible to the larger publisher? we decided to ask them and for women go up with the patient model if they can identify with certain professions about their guiding principles. messes, and what is the poetry, the secret of a house, and i'm house about their motivations. architecture just so much to you.

this is the hash tag that you can see on billboards all around moscow. and of course it's about the people up on rosier harris song. and god, best for the people of these regions. this is really a chance to feel much more secure, much more safe to join russia for them is a chance to feel that their culture is being respected, their right to speak, their own language is being respected, to feel that they're actually love. now make no mistake. similar rallies with the same mood are happening in different parts of russia, but more importantly and the towns of cities of daunted slogans people's republics and the regions of zapata, georgia. and here's some ah, ukraine's now demanding fast track membership to nato. but shortly after making that request, the alliances chief just a couple of hours ago didn't appear so accommodating. so would you raina, but day is a yahoo to day ukraine is applying to do so. de jury following a procedure that suits our importance to protect our entire community in an expedited manner. that's a decision on membership, of course ha

the results were manufactured in moscow. and the true will of the great people is evident every day is a sacrifice to live, to save their people and maintain the independence of their country. and the un secretary general antonia good. terry says russians plans to an ex, occupied parts of ukraine. it cannot be accepted and diplomatic editor james, things has more from you and headquarters in new york. these are the strongest comments from the un secretary general since the start of the war in ukraine. he talks about so called referenda, which don't reflect the genuine will of the people living in those areas. and on the plans annexation, he says they go against international law and against the un charter, the founding document of the united nations. it since against every scene, the international community is meant to stand for it flawed to the purposes and principles of the united nations. it is a dangerous escalation. it has no place in the more than wolves. it must not be accepted. the un security council will meet on fr

and here in moscow we have white read. he is a journalist with suit nicknames, i gentleman cross across that effect. that means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate gilbert. let me go to you 1st. and st. petersburg, the votes are almost al, counted of the results will be in very soon what, what is the significance of these referendums? because versus how the geography, the political geography of ukraine is going to change dramatically as, as military conflict goes on. what are the implications, go ahead. immigration box rather than the reintegration into the russian federation of ours and extends to the rush to deploy our military forces and search or otherwise frontiers. and we're not use the bo days, which will be the integration for almost all the others. just miss serves. there is a debate whether or lawyers, whether for us or is this rhetoric where it is missing the political dimension. and that's what i like to call to be pepe. essentially the same thing because obviously these are not going to be

wouldn't stop short of declaring a full national draft reactions and moscow varied among the young and the old faithful. my pride says yes, go to war either. but common sense tells me that i can die. there has been i have family, relatives, and friends of them. i'm in doubt and i can't say for sure subordinate, subordinate mother's visit. what is going to be there to say the president has taken the decision taking into account the situation. he believes it's necessary and we're in a situation where we can't comment on what he has said. the president said eskimiya and that's it. those poems because of business, both of us. okay. it also led to sift condemnation by the international community i'm shimmer, or this is another terrible and wrong step by russia indian, which we will of course us us politically brought and discuss on how to respond to it. been froze in any case for me and the german government, and it's clear that we will continue to fully support ukraine during this difficult time. meanwhile, moscow back separatist in easton ukraine announced plans to hold referendums to joi

in moscow. you showed those pictures. i'm going to join those people in half an hour, approximately a the weight gorbachev. and also you alluded it in your piece of the way. gorbachev has been perceived as that because of him. because of his appeasement to the west because of his friendships. because he tried to make russia a global country or part of the global community, the west actually undermined the soviet union ban. the soviet union collapsed. and so we were respected. we as the soviets or the russians, and now we are not. so it's a very conflicting a conflicted legacy here. and i think the kremlin has been so far, quite respectful off of lee issues because garbage was not received a strong leader and fujen wants to an appears to be and, and, and betrays himself as a strong leader. and he had been quite respectful and even the critics in the crown been of gorbachev have been saying that his legacy is important because he understood the problems, he collapsed plan economy and so on and so forth. how significant do y

well in moscow, in the kremlin now, they did not missed their words. they said that it was due a direct path to world war 3. this is a quote to, by russia's former president of course, the tree madrid of. and again, this goes of is, brings nothing to the table when it comes to, you know, restoring peace in europe if you like it, it does exactly the opposite. because if you rewind towards, you know, february january, december, when russia, when moscow was voicing its security concerns, it wanted exactly the opposite. this was the main reason that russia started. it's what it calls a special military operation because it did not want ukraine to potentially sometime become a nato member state. here's how this these proposals were described by the spokeswoman of the russian foreign ministry. marie has a heart of again, have a listen, please good. it this will time hands of the european union in such a way and put them under such savage, several dependent definitely will never recover to their full my economic growth and development is now that they in such

the noise could that be with us today for this program, for moscow? speaking of the un general assembly, the u. s. president joe biden, and british prime minister less trust. but both stated that, but no point has anyone threatened to russia? food claims he had to act because russia was threatened, but no one threatened russia. no one is threatening russia. well, let's take a closer look. shall we, threats of using nuclear weapons against russia have invoiced officially at least 5 times since last winter. for example, back in february, ukraine's president talked to potentially acquiring nuclear weapons. france said vladimir putin needed to understand nato meant nuclear weapons. a poland, talk of the readiness to host us nuclear weapons, if necessary. or the head of the german air force nato needed to be ready to use nuclear weapons. and the british prime minister less trust herself said she'd be prepared to use nukes, if needed. well, let's get the take on it's michael lukes for my senior security policy. i live in the office of the us secretary of de

be just to straighten moscow that's a veto. at the un security council alley russian president vladimir putin announced he was calling up preservice to boost the military operation. in the case of foreign secretary, james cleverly is toll al jazeera is diplomatic added to james bay's appearance made demonstrates a failing campaign in crime. or these are not the actions of a military leader who thinks this war is going to plan. we know, and we said so at the time that russia's plan was to sweep across ukraine in a matter of weeks. and yet what we see most recently is that being pushed back by the very, very professional actions of the ukrainian offices. so these words, a written response to failure rather than to success. and i suspect that all that would happen if these troops were put to the front line is yet more young russians would be lost in this illegal unprovoked and unnecessary war. and what we call upon russia to do is to remove its troops from ukraine to negotiate in good faith once it has done so and for the ukrainia

do you see any of them signs that moscow is reading its nuclear arsenal for use? well, they need to know that's difficult to show. a lot of this must do is really. ready reading its troops or nuclear stress. so i believe that the intelligence gathered by the western classes is much more reliable. and they say that they have no such science. but i got to read the whole blessed temper that the bible ration some troops were distributed in all radiation radiation fields. so something at least they will be in read is on your list. i don't know. maybe it's just a propagandist. so i don't know the rhetorical russian leadership and a nuclear webmail way, february 24th. so if we judge by rhetoric, you can say that they would read it to you, but since the beginning of the war, but it's not sole evidence. so whether they will be ready to start the new offering that's, that's a big question. that's it appears that some of the fail safe mechanisms designed to prevent nuclear war have in part, been eroded. i'm talking about direct communications between senior russian and ameri

steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. jane: sweden has found a new leak in a major undersea pipeline carrying russian natural gas to the eu, making it the fourth leak discovered this week. investigations are being carried out into the cause of the damage of the nord stream 1 and 2 pipelines. russia has dismissed the idea that it was responsible. i'm joined now by senator chris coons, a leading member of the senate foreign relations committee. there is a consensus that this was sabotage. moscow has denied involvement. that now says that it claims state sponsored terrorism. what is your assessment of who may be responsible and why sen. coons: -- and why? sen. coons: i attended a meeting earlier today, and all i can say at this point is that public reporting is that the eu and nato have concluded that this is sabotage, that the repeated acts that attacked different important pipelines are part of russia's ongoing campaign to destabilize nato and western europe. there has not been a conclusion publicly reached by the american

but 1st let's go through how much val and moscow. so we heard from the president's bahama, just talk us through what happened and what will be happening in the next hour in moscow in terms of the celebration taken place? not in the right behind to me is that square on the kremlin. we can order to hear hear the music people. 8 both ration, they are close to for media where the sound, thousands of people are attending. that's right off the keynote speech or the major speech. but within dave, the finding of, of $33.00, between russia and the 4 of the brain. you're going to look, i'm going to put in the need for washes, to unite. and so can see that what happened. a collection of history here reminded russians of the greatness of civilization. they paula race station. as he thought, the west is planning to destroy, the west doesn't need of what we need. so he talks about western hypocrisy in this, in terms of with relationships with others. he said the energy crisis was the mistake of western powers. they did it on purpose. so that they
