law. and this is not really much, of course, basically enduring russian chinese partnership directly send tribute to the drugs without responding to the okay. i am sure, a strategic alliance in the energy sector, which has become the main stay of the entire local energy market with continues to strengthen in that. would be that much. all right, let's cuss live now to our, to correspondence that were, i guess the of who's in her being in the northeast of china, we're on. so we heard the russian president speaking there at the opening ceremony of the rush of china expo, just about an hour ago. what was his focus? a well, glad to be spoke about energy predominantly. and he also spoke about the huge potential in trade in, in ties relations, economic, technological relations between china and russia ought to be most chosen by accident. these are the regional capital of

a region which for those 5 russian regions in the, in the far east of russia. i'm glad to be approved and said that there's a huge potential for, for example, chinese companies to, to, to base production in russia, localized production and russian. he said, russia can keep the chinese economy fed with the energy with team accessible energy that is for most reliable, for the move like may have invited chinese delegation to an economic form in the city of black. you've all spoken in september. this is the 2nd day of lot to be a pigeons tool to try them. trip to try them at day began with the flour, a leg, sorry movie, until the morial to sylvia. troops with thousands of them who died, gave the lives liberating china from the imperial japanese army during world war 2 environment proved. in fact, the chinese people,

the chinese leaders for remembering and for all the way the sacrifice loretta. as you say, this is the 2nd day of putting this visit to china. he met with the chinese president, she didn't paying on his 1st day and by jane, can you tell us how it was and greeted there while he was welcomed very, very willingly with all the pomp and ceremony. one could could want. i mean, i mean, many leaders around the world visiting, try the community, wish for a welcome. as room is least, it was more of a room, it was a working for a friend. and that is the word, the 23 that's used to describe each of the relationships between china and russia are here replace of all of their significance is hard to overestimate

the, the, which i apologize for speaking so long and not letting the interpreter do his job. i feel at home here. it's like i thought everyone here already speaks restroom. the the day was very busy, was packed with meetings between glad to be approved and then we're trying to see the issue of changing ping from dominant. people say what was have delegations involved what format talks as well as i had those types of that towards between that me and people are changing things, especially towards the end of the day. they spent hours locked away. of course, many of the things that they talked about we, we will know what it is that they spoke about specifically, but to the cross and ukraine, for example,

that was talked about at leg according to the presence of the russian presence books. but they will also to describe the vision for the future of sight of russian ties and that these were nations that are already at the historical maximum. those could grow even further. a separate agreements inside a statements have been 10 visions again for verse strategies to develop those type of log me approving remarks. and he made a point about this, the chinese west from relations on a, in a teddy one. they are exclusively billed on the, on an economic foundation to benefit china and box b, the military ties b, they technological sharing, who energy, for example, transfer from russia to try the energy supplies from russia to try to shoot you.

being in touch said the child supports facing supports, rushes actions in, in defending and protecting its sovereignty, and also cold for others to, to, to not to middle in the internal russian to fast. but a get a visa credit for the long tooth is for like maybe was the 1st visit abroad office . it will gratian for a 5th to as the president of the russian federation. we are currently waiting for lots of improvement to arrive, but he. busy a kind of in institute of technology way she will address, professes students as well as rush and exchange students about those ties that he wishes to be able to try to r t correspond that we're on. does the, as in harvey and we're on thank you. all right, let's course live now to nelson. wal involved, i club expert advice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies now. so i'm going to have you on with us. what are your thoughts on

successful trade ties between china and russia and what adds to the regions, investment landscape on the whole? and thank you. all right, so for having me, this is a certain day and by far off a very successful trip of a rush shooting president, be to china. not only this is the 1st trip. so you can say stops is new term as of russian president. but also it's symbolizes the, the 75th anniversary of the 2 countries having to provide a good relation spot to what we can see out of the short 2 day visit. of course, the 2nd day is due on going. but to know what we can see is that the 2 countries are now not only comprehensive, strategic pop is but as the statement, the joint statement shows yesterday by the 2 countries is that both sides is

taking each other as priority. paul, this is something very significant in the calls of our 2 countries relations and particularly in the context of the current world affairs where there are k offs and even stability and threats to the country security is happening everywhere. so this, the district of restroom president to try that is very, very important and the importance cannot be stressed further. and they'll send the ongoing theme of emerging global multi polarity. took up a considerable part of the conversations between the 2 presidents. just how much of the 2 countries a driving force behind this, a shift of what i think it's quite clear that both actually had and try to have shared vision about the way forward when it comes to global developmental world

development. because both china and russia are very much, i guess, the hedge a monic control or attempt to control the world by the us. and that both countries on both happening was the way the world has been fed right over the last decade, also in particular. so and also both countries do believe that the future of the world feel free multi polar respecting the interest of or countries around the world, big and small. and also both countries do believe that they do not get nations and the international role should be respected in solving all the disputes and conflicts around the world. so there are so many things that the, you know, trying to rush you, i do have common visions and have shit, a visions. so this basically late the ground,

the ground for the 2 countries to come together. and judging by what is going on around the world, i think the unity of trying to rush you where ways the 2 countries coming together. it will definitely create a force to promote peace and stability and hopefully prosperity. because the rest of the, the because without stability, how can you pull or imagine about a nation development about developing into the future? and i think it comes just all to natural that to retro and trying to i now priority paul said this is very important for our 2 countries. all right, we're going to leave it there. nelson long about i call the expert advice chairman of the shanghai center for impact and international studies. nelson. great to have you on. thank you. thank you. well, we will be continuing on coverage and flattering hooton's visit to china was packed

schedule for the 2nd and final to and the president's trip to stay with r t for all of that. the. so the prime minister robert fee to remains in a serious condition after an attempt on his life. the country's president likes to speed so has regained consciousness and is able to speak after hours in the operating room that's of the countries. interior minister said the suspected gunman expressed anger over fits those policies, including stopping arms supplies to ukraine. should i school on the impulse, but at each which if i can confirm the reasons why this is classified as politically motivated, pre mediated murder, we're not pointing fingers on anybody. i've presented to you with the facts. and this was a summary of a statements made by they say it was that he's unhappy with the situation and he disagrees with the government. it doesn't agree with stop and assistance to ukraine, but it will sort of weeks before the assassination attempt of

a suspected gunmen at your ice until i was spotted at a protest in western slovakia, the riley and support of the prime saw a small group of people carrying you flags and condemning the countries ruling party with some background on the suspect, the 71 year old. your ice into a lot is a fierce critic of the silver prime minister as your crime policies, members of people his government confirmed. he took part in numerous and pro western rallies and demanded the prime minister renew slovak arm supplies to keep before shooting the top official, the the, the assailant son, prime minister, feed. so 5 times as he left the government building seats as guards, rushed the prime minister into a car before he was lifted into the hospital from a safe location. i witnessed a st. panic and chaos spread it through the crowds waiting to meet the country's leader. how did you get to back to back when we were standing somewhere here,

when the prime minister walked out of the cultural center and went to say good bye to more people. we didn't quite understand what was going on at 1st. we thought maybe someone had thrown some firecrackers, and then things happened very fast. the intervention was very quick. this man stood among the people and it's just a huge stroke of luck that he didn't hit the citizens who were standing there. mary . c. r t z us. and that can brings us more details from the scene of the attack. the smoking security forces have removed a boat from this tree that was lodged as a result of an attack and assassination attempt on the sidewalk. in 5 minutes, the rule that fits so immediately behind it is the cultural center in which the prime minister walked out of moments before the attack took place. the silence was a 71 year old male speaking to the locals. they suggest the sentiment that the silence had towards the prime minister or the government is not necessarily something that is shared throughout the country. these statements was in one form

or another aligned with a number of conflicting ideologies. back in 2016, many suggest his values more traditional that they were aligned with slovakian interests. some would even described them as pro russian, whereas in 2022 was inner circle suggests his views changed, supported pro ukrainian, pro western and pro liberal values a drastic shift that resulted in the assassination attempt of to walk in prime minister. all that fits up, of course, 1st of all, it's a tragedy when you hear a politician is being attacked. and of course, we know that some of our carries a country where there's a big polarization. there's parts of the country which is strongly opposed to at 5 minutes or feet. so, and then there's a large part which is a fan of feats. so. so of course, it's a dangerous situation and it's also, it's always, uh, a said through here that people tend to violence to express their opinion. and there's just, yeah, that's misfortune. maybe the gentleman was a little bit sick and it had,

but that's not the way to handle things. in my opinion. there are a number of policies that we can list policies that the assailant was opposed for the most part. but the one thing that does remain constant is the government's position to ukraine, as well as ukraine's potential bid to join nato. this is something the government opposes. these policies have been in place for a while. many would suggest there's a division within society. but then again, officials throughout the country have stated, the prime minister has been elected into power time and time again, his policies have necessarily changed. so the big question here is, where is this pressure coming from? and the pressure for the most part is of course, coming from brussels. it's coming from the united states. the walkie is a member of the european union. it's a member of the nato allies. and this, among many other things, is one of the fundamental reasons as to why the sealants could have potentially carried out the attack. one final thing to mention is these to lock you in government and it's intention to establish a foreign policy that is sovereign and independent from that of the european union

and nato. this is a fundamental reasoning behind the government's position, the opposition as well as the motivation behind the servants motives. but more importantly comes at a time when your up itself is questioning its own existence, its identity as well as its foreign policy and about europe is looking to establish that identity. it makes sense that slovakia, serbia hungry, many countries within the european continent are essentially trying to establish the very same thing. yes. and again, archie and honda of a slovak, here we discussed the assassination attempt with a member of the german bonus di he told us that you is doing every thing to shut down growing dissent and cut down opposition a c. so lots and lots and some main politics. also, you was against the laws for pieced in the brain. and um, and you said to you don't to one to do live let loose and he was against the sentence. and this,

and this is contrary to the policy also european union. and maybe this was the reason why he was shot sullens receipt press of speech and hate speech against the opposition this on e, as in john and a titian and see if the stocks and i can hear it's in the speeches. and this is a very, very sad situation if i could chose that. um, yeah, the main apologies quotes in germany, but i think all over europe, they don't want to get out of the power. and this is the reason they want to because to 0 position and they want to cut down

and so position parties really vision and you're and you do something against the dresser and the politics that you get this pressure. and yeah, it's, this is so this the situation the us seems to me drifting further from us leaders, idealistic vision of the so called european garden with violence against politicians on the rise across the union. and here's our t contributor, rachel marsden, with the details. i remember when the european union's chief diplomat gives a burrell showed students at the european diplomatic academy. the finer points of the settled art of diplomacy by comparing the you to a quiet garden in the developing world to a wild jungle. yes. beautiful. you said barton we have built a golden advocacy works is the best combination of the political freedom, economic prosperity, and social cohesion, the rest of the world,

most of the rest of the goal, it's a jungle and the jungle could evade the goddess um is this still actually the case because it's increasingly looking like jungle egos. that's okay. just go on a safari right there. it is on e garden, attempted assassinations of playful leaders like what just happened in slovakia this week, the prime minister robert feats. so are more of a wallace jungle wide, and this will vacuum interior minister has said that the 71 year old man who allegedly shot seats. so got so worked up about government policies, just some finishing or media coverage that he felt compelled to grab his gun and go out. hunting pizza criticize the european establishment, intolerance when it comes to diversity of thought and specifically popular list or nationalist. anti global has died. that same establishment uses values like solidarity as authoritarian tools in an attempt to shoehorn everyone into

compliance with their agenda. well beautifying. just that the impact of the establishment is cracked down, understand is also obvious in germany where interior ministry officials are now i knew measures to tap for violence against politicians and elected officials. the repeated attacks represent a social development whereby people are trying to achieve their political ends, not only with words, but with violence, hate and harassment. this endangers our democracy. in our law based freedom, there's been no less than 4 recent a tax on politicians from germany's governing coalition of social democrats in greens, prompting the reaction of chancellor off schultz, schultz, blaine, the political right way, which is convenient to score points against the rising populace. right ahead of upcoming local and european parliamentary elections. but it also negates the fact that representatives from the right wing alternative for deutsch lands party, are also being attacked. the parties leader at keynote for paula even had to be hospitalized last call after the violent incident at the campaign defense. so she's

all this violence comes as a result of a systemic breakdown. maybe one that could have been avoided if descent wasn't treated like such a dirty word and with iron fisted intolerance. what kind of defense, this kind of defense, the european union, as in love with itself, has convinced themselves that is the best place in the world. it has the right to instruct others. however, other countries can be better than us. sometimes i think that opportunity send to you to be, you know, slowly running out. we struggle to understand what is normal and what is abnormal into european union. so the guy was elected and so is peter pelligrini as well actually, and president who's from fits those own ideological can now they got elected despite the pro western establishment. opposition scare mongering over what would happen if there was not just one but 2 populace elected in slovakia, the higher office. so how did the reacts when the people's choice was to elect feet?

so the parliament adopt a resolution quote, criticizing the new government right out of the gate, i guess for an array of worrying reform proposals and warrant against the prime minister's use of polarizing language. because of course that's something they absolutely never do and would never tolerate. he was democratically elected buys people, okay. the polarizing language, on the other hand, is coming from a super national institution of global governance. and if that wasn't enough, here comes the use. i'm elected chief bureaucrats cleaners of a bonded line, also known as the president of the european commission with her royal proclamation on the whole matter. our peaceful and united security is being challenged like never before by populous by nationalists, by demagogues. whether it's the far right parts the far left these days, it seems that freedom and democracy is defined by the western establishment.

religious means the freedom to adhere to their agenda and well, the divisions in european society seemed to be the result of them, insisting on the kind of conformity that tends to radicalize citizens on all sides. sounds exactly like the kind of dynamic normally associated with barrels jungle has actually ended up making its way right into his garden coupling situation for your print in troops on the battlefield is incredibly difficult. that admission was made by a us state department deputy spokesperson during a briefing. obviously, the situation is incredibly dire. we know that this is a challenging time, but we are sure that military aid is also going to make a real difference on the battlefield. their defense system is destroyed and intercepted more than $100.00 drones of a russian regions overnight. that's according to the country's defense minister attempted attacks happened on the korean peninsula of belgrade,

and occurs regions of fire broke out at an oil refinery. after a drone crashed into the city of 2 of se in the crescent, our region meanwhile, with russian troops making sweeping advances in the hard top ranch and the same as western states are changing their tune over the plant in conflict with officials. now, calling for negotiations, our tooth donald quarter has more. this fantasy of total victory on the battlefield is becoming little more than a pipe dream for the west with leaders like the check president calling for negotiations. i think it would be naive to say that ukraine's and liberate the occupied territories in the foreseeable future. russia is not going to give up the occupied territories just like that. we need to stop the war and then start discussing future agreements. this may be a compromise, but not without the consent of ukraine, russia in the countries that will guarantee disagreement later on, pablo said that while military 8 to keep deeds to continue, it does not exclude working out

a solution to the conflict. i have to comment on the reactions to my interview with sky news. i have long stress the need to support ukraine by all means in accordance with international law. part of this legitimate support is to increase the supply of ammunition and military equipment to ukraine, including through the check munitions initiative. however, military support for ukraine does not preclude the search for a solution to end the conflict. on the contrary, it must take place. time will tediously as for washington, antony blanket as usual war hawk attitude has all of us. 1 and started to see the possibility of talks, although he says solely up the key up to decide when negotiations will begin in terms of negotiations. of these, again, are decisions for your brain today. uh, not the united states or not any other country. fundamentally, these are questions for you kind to answer. we've been very clear, we support ukraine, we support you, candidates decisions,

a cease fire that simply freezes current lines in place and enables them to consolidate control over the territory, the seas, and then risk free arm and we attack that is not a just and lasting piece it's a potemkin piece and so i'm in the french military's top brass say it's only a matter of time before the west needs to admit that you have cannot realistically retake the territories that brushes liberate the if you don't mind from all ukrainians are not unreasonably afraid. of some voices in the west, telling them that we will have to discuss this yet. obviously, one day we will have to discuss negotiations. no serious analyst today thinks that ukraine will be able to retake the territories conquered by russia. so at some point, you will have to negotiate on it, isn't this the official ukrainian version? obviously not, but this is the official version of the americans. this is the official version of everyone who roughly sees what is happening. probably it's no surprise that the key ever seems western backers are looking to push key up towards concessions,

especially with sweeping russian advances in the heart of region. it seems that in those nato country is where, until recently they were talking about the possibility of sending their troops to ukraine. they are backing off. london said the nato soldiers are not needed in ukraine, checked president, pablo who supported mac, kron now calls for an end to hostilities. mac kron is still showing aut, calling for russia to be stopped, but seems to be left alone. even the main stream media is sporting defeatist, headline, setting doubts on ukraine's ability to defend itself and admitting russian victories on the battlefield. according to the new york times, an armistice that would suspend the conflict and definitely in a fashion similar to what we see on the korean peninsula, is one of the most likely outcomes of talks. all the while rush is always stated. it's open to sit down at the negotiating table and hatch out a piece plan. so rushes for negotiations, and the west may now be changing its tune. but how many people have died for that change of heart?

and how long until the tide may once again turn to the hague. now where the international court of justice is holding a hearing on the rising humanitarian crisis and does them, as well as being accused of disregarding policy and human rights and ignoring a previous court orders. is right. assuming that he preaches the binding resolutions of the united nations security council. and honestly, believing from the lack of content managers by the international community that it is exempt from having to respect international know this institutionalized community has let, is allowed to engage in this genocide, which has shopped the conscience of humanity. but also that's opening statements of from detroit as invested us to the netherlands of wisdom, was the mountains, a lot of the representatives, the force of africa took the floor and it was the professor, john, do god, who made it clear that took over the course of the months that followed to the eyes,
