living in the eu countries has been rising much faster than people's wages, even though. inflation in the block has dropped over the past year around one european out of three or almost 100 million people is experiencing a precarious financial situation faithfully the eu recent historic events, events which have seen the pandemic crisis first and the energy crisis triggered by the war in ukraine later, greatly affecting economic growth. this explains why europeans are very... concerned about social security and employment, immediate consequence of this social crisis will be the final rise of populist movement. other issues deemed very important by the survey respondents in view of the june elections were economic growth and unemployment in the block. after narrowly escaping recession in late 2023, brussels has

downgraded its growth outlook for 2024 a modest .9%. from the previously expected 1.3% employment in the eu is suffering across all sectors, the increasing use of non-permanent contracts, informal work and insecure jobs has impoverished the significant portion of the middle class leading to high levels of social exclusion. it goes without saying the rising prices do the skyrocketing energy cost have barely affected all europeans. having said that, it must be noted the price here in italy are still much lower than prices in other countries of the block. european borders hope that new eu leadership won't introduce sturity measures which will translate into more suffering for weaker countries. analysts have also pointed out that voter turnout will be the biggest election challenge next june as the election campaign ramps up and discontent is growing

across europe, many fear that much less than half of eligible voters will cast about. in the european elections. in 2008, the european union's economy was larger than that of the united states. however, following the global financial crisis, the covid pandemic and the ukraine russia conflict, today, the united states economy is 50% larger than that of the european union. max chivili, press tv, rome. russian president. through various channels is trying to convince the satellite countries and other countries of the world that, according to their intelligence, there is allegedly no trace of kiev in the terrorist

attack in moscow, that the bloody terrorist attack was committed by members of daesh, we know by whose hand this atrocity against russia and its people was committed, but we want to know who ordered them to do it. putin stressed that the assalants tried to flee to ukraine. adding that there are many questions to be examined, he said the attack maybe just a link in a whole series of attempts by those who have been at war with russia since 2014 through the neonazi regime in kiyev. putin reiterated that the attack was meant to so panic among russians, four gunman burst into moscow's um crochis city hall on friday and began shooting at the people attended a concert, they killed nearly 140 people and injured over 180 others 11 people including the... backers have been detained and are facing terrorism charges. ukraine has denied any role in the attack. in our news review

program, we discuss with our guests who they think was actually behind the deadly terror attack in russia and how likely russia will respond to the attack with stick. i like to welcome our guests to this program, scott ritter, former us marine and scott, your your assessment of the situation, you hear that those who have been arrested were tagic or artic nationals, and we know in the very beginning that daesh or isis had claimed the responsibility uh, but the russian government was saying that uh, it wasn't the case or... they could not prove it one way or the other. your take on who do you think is possibly behind this? well first of all we need to understand that there's still an ongoing

investigation and uh we it's sort of irresponsible to get ahead of the investigation, but there are certain things that that jump out: one, um, if this was an isis attack, it didn't fit the modus operat. of of you know previous isis actions uh normally um isis terrorists uh are marters for their cause and they uh they die for their cause uh they have suicide vests they uh they're viewing this martterdom as path to you know heavenly reward um these are people who um sought to live uh even their uh photograph that was you know where they are pledging allegiance to isis uh with their left hand by the way, which is also a red flag, i would think, um, they show blurred faces, which means they didn't want to be

recognized, which again is departure from past practice where you know uh, videos are made where they announced their intent to be marters, and they were seeking escape, um, and escape towards ukraine, which causes lot of people, uh, it raises lot of red flag. well, don, your take on this, i mean, with every situation. we always look at again who benefits and who would not, and in this situation we had just seen the election, re-election of uh president putin uh in a landslide in russia, and also we see the uh, basically as our previous guest was talking about um their actually becoming or seemingly on the road to victory over ukraine, so in your perspective, uh now - scott said that looking at possibly us involvement or cia involvement with ukraine, your thoughts on that, um, how likely do you see that as being

a possibility? you know, you go to the who benefits from them, look it, and scott's right, it's it's early, this is all speculation, there's an actual investigation going on, we here in the united states aren't used to that part of it actually happening, we have pundits figure out what happened after the fact, most of whom... can't find their behind with both hands in their back pockets um the investigation uh with you doing all kinds of forensic and other uh uh peaks into their phone logs and their activities and you know all of that tracing the weaponry and things they're going to know not only who did it but who they were in contact with and it's they promised i think there's a miscalculation here um one of the lessons of the election that just took place uh is that president putin's foreign policy uh visa v nato, the united states and ukraine, which were supposed to be destroyed.

uh by by the uh sanctions and the war and the other efforts of the us resonates positively with 87 87% of the population or 87% of the voters, which means that everything that he's done up to this point with the economy uh with the with the military, with the war, with foreign relations was ratified loudly by the people, and so the only criticism i heard, i was there as an election observer last week, "the only criticism at all that i heard of of the policy of uh president putin towards that whole matter is that they wanted him to go earlier into donbast to secure the people there. i won't pass judgement because he has better view of their strategic capabilities and the sit overall picture than i do from here, but to to do this now an attempt to intimidate the population or to chip away at that 87% support ignores the

nature of it and he is now" empowered with the votes of all of those people to get as aggressive as he feels he needs to to protect the people of russia, and with something like this, a strike like this in the capital, even though it wasn't in the center of moscow, it was in the city, something like this is going to require a strong response, and he has promised one, and he promised it to all those involved. all right, and on that note, i think both of you for being with me here on this news review, scott ritter, former us marine intell. officer and donabar activist and commentator and thank you viewers for being with us on another news review and thank you so much for tuning into this news bulletin right here at press tv.

let's wap for now let's stick around there's plenty more to come. on prets tv, see you in a bit. for us humans, air is the most important natural element along with water, food.
