borders. against the backdrop of calls to contain russia, nato was amassing his forces along russia's borders. the german defense minister should know very well what consequences such moves have led to in the past, both for germany and europe. that stern remark came shortly after germany's defense minister, called on nato, to be ready to deploy nuclear weapons, to quote, deter russia near its maritime borders in the baltic and black seas, the berlin official was then challenged to explain her hostile comments. blue dust voice reported this morning, the plaintiff contemplating deterrence scenarios for the baltic and waxy regions of possibly involving air, deployed nuclear weapons. is this the best native prepared to take that it's, that's the path of deterrent. we must make it very clear to russia that in the end, we're ready to move, and that is also the deterrents doctrine in to deploy such means is to deter in advance. and so that nobody comes to the idea of attacking nato partners in the bull. taken black sea regions and with or comments coincided with nato unveiling. it's new mast

you still refusing to cooperate with russia over the case where here 1st time from russia's envoy to the boating status of a school is a feeling that something else all the goals are driving them. it is possible that this whole story is connected with the escalation of sanctions prussia and it's exactly 20 years in the u. s. coalition invaded afghanistan and with the country now in mel down families are having to resort to unthinkable measures. when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark. sorry. i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there's no option luncheon with whole life or moscow. you chewing on scene to national with me, you lash apollo. thanks for joining us. on facebook, whistleblower is the accused of bias us. it was discovered she has ties to the democrats. it comes just days off of she said the company was harming children and stoking divisions and impassioned plea to congress for a crackdown on the social media giant. but i'm here today because i believe facebook's products harm children, stoked division and week in our democracy. the company'

oh, we dare to ask in ah russia, welcome back. the 1st episode, space film, cruise off to that 12 day shoot on the international space station. well, extreme pressure flaming turbulence, the new pioneers of orbital cinema describe that fire descended from space. we speak also to that of the lead actress a of them with i had to put us with european leaders confirm that russia is not withholding natural gas applies to europe. but media outlets keep up the narrative that moscow deliberately pushing up the price. ah, well good morning from moscow is so just off to 8 am here on monday and we do start this hour now with breaking news from russia is your roles. region, we understand a 12 year old boy has opened fire inside a school in the palm region. as we understand, he apparently just fired 2 shots into the wall and ceiling and nobody was hut. this was early in the morning before most of the kids had shown up. now apparently that had teacher managed to talk the boy into surrendering the hunting rifle which belong to the kids father. t

has russia been using energy as a weapon? russia's not using any weapons. if you've been paying attention as for the economy, where are we using weapons in what conflicts are we taking part and for the economy? this is not something we tend to use. this is what i call a politically motivated talk. there's nothing to support it when it comes to saying that we use energy as some kind of weapon at the end of the day. i guess the question is, how can you expect europe to believe you're a reliable energy partner when you're not supplying that energy via the pipeline? because she was, if you're a beautiful woman, but i'm saying one thing to you and you're saying a different thing to me as if you haven't heard what i said, well mister president with what was the same point was you and you said that you are not supplying gas through pipelines to europe, but actually you are mistaken. you are mistaken. and all of those who feed on the information they receive, we are actually increasing our supplies to europe because prom increase supplies by 10 percent. and overall

gas reserves. russia says that's not the case. in fact, russia says it's willing to step up to the hour of need of it to you repeat neighbors. and increase the supplies of gas to meet those needs, those demands. but what needs to happen for that to take place is the certification of the north stream to pipe. this is a pipe that was completed last month and would see natural gas be able to be delivered directly to germany. but before that can happen, that certification needs to take place. that is something that you finance. i mean, this is our light. he to discuss this week is they meet to discuss this entire crisis, but the idea that you finance ministers are discussing bread and butter subjects like energy bills and how people are going to pay them really gives you a sense of how this crisis is. and as they scratching the heads, looking for a solution, there are tens of millions of households who are concerned about what this winter is going to bring. the difficult choices that they will have to make in detail. i the heat that h

he says that russia's somehow weapon ising. it president biden and chancellor merkel committed to taking action. should russia attempt to use energy as a weapon? yet both of tend to blind eye to the putin regimes deliberate efforts to press europe into accelerating the russian nodes stream to pipeline certification process by manipulating europe's gas markets and leveraging a severe energy crisis on the continent. and mccall says anglo merkel is turning a blind eye to some apparent malign, influenced by russia, but anglo merkel herself has said that russia fulfills all of its obligations in these contracts that are voluntarily made between russia and the european union. the fog is a gift. this, if you ask me whether there have been orders that russia has taken and then fail to fulfill as it stands. now, that is not the case. that is, there are no orders that frush has said no, we will not deliver those to you. and we are not pumping gas through the ukrainian pipeline, rather russia can only fulfill orders that have been contrac

should russia attempt to use energy as a weapon? yet both have turned a blind eye to the person regimes, deliberate efforts to pressure europe into accelerating the russian node stream to pipelines, certification process by manipulating europe's gas markets and leveraging a severe energy crisis on the continent. recently finished, an old stream to gas pipeline has been the target of u. s. pressure ever since construction began. last year. it came under sanctions from washington. those, sorry this summer, most of those measures were lifted following an agreement between america and germany now needs the final green light from berlin. moscow says the ongoing threats as an attempt to scupper relations with european nations to your list of for you. but then we'll go to the us openly say that cooperation with russia is contrary to europe's energy security interests. they want to directly embroiled in this area and reduce our independence. so when he's, it's actually outgoing german chancellor, been vocal in her support of russia as a sup

now, i don't always agree with russia, but how russia is being treated, how the intelligence services use every opportunity to create destabilization in russia. it takes me off president of taiwan has insisted she's not seeking conflict with china while also warning of catastrophic consequences if beijing, what has seized the island. now this comes off to report that u. s. soldiers happening training forces in taiwan, which of course china considers its own territory assays at summit ryan gave us his take on the latest escalation. i won as a bit of a dilemma. we'll join our tank. will america attack back if china attacks should attack if attacked? taiwan is warning that china could be capable of a full scale invasion by 2025. although considering that since friday, over a $150.00 chinese will plains, including jets and nuclear capable bombers have entered this same area sort, taiwan cools its air defense zone. 2025 might be wishful thinking on taiwan is part of course is always worth pointing out the in the world of geo politics. nothing is exactly as it seems. apparently, all those c

they fight large caucus, which other alienness such as china and russia. now they look for minorities, they look for discontent, neighbors, and suddenly these out liberals ally themselves to all been nancy's. and while these minorities and these just contain a neighbors, you know, the, and let me just remind you, they used gratian, fascist, again serves in yugoslavia. they used a ukranian nationalist against a russian speaking population in ukraine. they use now wiggle muslim fundamentalist against china. so that the problem with the orbit and kuchinski is that they didn't change and the front line moved east, so they're no longer needed. you know, this is now the ukrainian nationalists who can claim all absurd things in the you will forgive them everything. poland is now in the rear guard. it's far away from the battle. so suddenly they use creaking down on nationalist the been support against russia in the ninety's and the early in the late eighty's and, and purchase. he just doesn't understand it. okay. or when a smart you understood the bird is, is goi

ah, subarus is one of the most beautiful cities in russia's far east. ah, it sits on the river that runs on the russia, china buena and was for many years the far eastern capital. ah, there is no shortage of historical sites here. the officers club is one of them. this is where in december 1949 and 12 members of japan's. quinton army stood trialed. mm. that was the only time wall criminals have ever been tried for creating a biological weapon and testing it on maple. mm one way that you know, one mashonda admiral was or bolona. what go more shrill than what they should know more and i've got a letter to read it. a sudden you don't know what else in europe, but it nasal booked and no one you did. the remorse shown by one member of japan's top secret unit 731 he and his colleagues killed thousands of victims. well, developing biological weapons. he's the guy who had been a unit 731 soldier when he's young, man and killed people. paul johnson, an american director, has studied unit 731 documents at length, and knows its history well. unit 731 was a unique

now they're blaming russia. use including of weapon ising energy is just if some believable, so russia just wants to be a good partner to europe, provide constant cheap and stable, natural gas. and marcus, the amazing thing is, i mean, i've been following the russian energy markets for are down to years. i mean, a long, long time. and one thing that they've always stressed in gas from is always said, because that's the monopoly export of russia, is that they want long term contracts. they want to stay away from this speculation and that's what it all is exactly what patrick was saying here. this is a, for some people, one person's crisis is a small group about, well the people's opportunity here. and again, the incompetence of it. ok when, when we have the, the height of the lock down in the west. ok? and consumption went down. and then you know they, they can fill up the storage units and then when they lock down, starting to come to an end, there was a surgeon in demand. and while they are doing that same, the

so obviously russia is not going to want to be made out of the bud guy here. what can you do with regards the pricing? well, man, you're absolutely right. and the thing is i, the european lawmakers might have shot themselves in the foot here. and well, of conceptually nuclear, the wallets of the end of the line consumers of ordinary europeans. so here's, here's the thing about natural gas. it's not oil, you can just, you know, get it one time stored in a barrel until you needed, and then you will access it. no, it doesn't work like that. you can't store natural gas. so what the european lawmakers came up with, they decided that they would switch from contractual from contractual trade when they receive gas steadily throughout the year. at the current market price, they decided that would be buying the gas of the market and they would be would be doing so in the summer when the demand is very low. so it's essentially dirt cheap, but they would only ask for the, for gas in physical, you're physically receive it in the winter when the well, obviously need this ga

internet is a red line for russia, and russia would take it extremely seriously. and as people who follow. busy russian politics understand, this is not bluster, this is just a simple statement of russia's interests and daniel africa with every fear. right now we look at all the red flags are going up around the one. the biggest concern that most countries that we've seen these past few weeks has been towards china. so do you think that in this case, this is a smart action on behalf of global peace? to have this now public battle between russia and nato, a lot, and nato allies actually happening when everybody up until now for the last few weeks have been saying, we need to be very concerned about what's going on with china. whether you're talking about taiwan or you're talking about australia, well, you know, there was a kind of sclerosis in u. s. foreign policy, and i think we're seeing some of that as well. and this is, this is not something this driven by nato. i mean, this is driven in washington dc. there's an inability to pivot. there's an inability to chan

why doesn't russia, why doesn't gas from supply us with more gas? so that's why i say it's, it's sort of absurd here. instead of asking, why doesn't the u. s. suppliers with more el and gee, we heard as well. tell us that e, you labor commissioner warning of energy poverty, a line that we're hearing quite a bit recently. and because of an already difficult situation for millions of people at high prices is the worst yet to come. in your opinion, it is still going to get worse because the situation as such is absolutely serious for 2 reasons. um, word economy did not expect the it to pick up speed as soon as it, as it does after the corona crisis. plus you repeat guests suppliers, a bias of russian and other guests of volumes did not expect. i did not feel up after the cold winter did not fill up their reserves. probably they expected a 2nd after a rather luggage corona year. where doesn't what string to come into that. here we have the observed situation that people are that the european con, guessed consumers, suffer under high gas prices. that we

still refusing to cooperate with russia on the case with her son from russia's employed to the organization. and so the super center school, there's a feeling that something else how that goals are driving them. it is possible that this whole story is connected with the escalation of sanctions pressure. and it's exactly 20 years since the u. s. coalition invaded afghanistan with the country. now in meltdown family, sarah, having to resort to unthinkable measures when your stomach is empty, you can't think about the dark. sorry about that. i'm forced to sell a few of my kids to feed others. there's no option large mission with y'all. i appreciate you joining me this evening on our tea international versus our boiling gas prices have been reduced to more of a summer after intervention from vladimir putin who said that russia will ramp up exports to europe, addressing the continents energy crisis. on wednesday, the president added moscow would continue its commitment to ukraine with regards to gas transit. as from yesterday, she has prom believes that it would be more profitable for it to pay

but from russia, the campaign's hedge. it's the right priority. if america loses dominance in the indo pacific, it will cause a shocking power balance that will engulf europe, too. you see china is the biggest threat, not only to the united states, bill daley, but to europe as well? guest: absolutely. we have seen strength. personally, we have seen chinese economic cooperation, for instance in australia and india, and europe. it has been subject to economic co-opting from china because they do not borrow chinese directives, and we have also seen china pursue what are called unfair trade practices and stealing of technology. for instance, chinese companies are competing with our private companies, helped by chinese state subsidies. that is not a level playing field. recently, we have seen that even more sophisticated chinese approach where they pursue what i call strategic investments in infrastructure and business centers that are strategically important to us, and to counter this aggressive chinese behavior, we need to unite and strengthen the fo

just really going up one way at what's russia's going to do it to just this new reality? well, human, essentially, as you said, vladimir putin during a very high profile cabinet meeting. he's took to russia's energy minister alexander nova, and he has given very clear instructions to the minister at russia and its national gas exporting company gas promo that they must remain loyal and good partners. faithful partners of the e. u. even though the current situation with the current market prices of gas sticking to contractual obligations means a profit loss. a loss of profit for gas problem have a listen. as bruce, as she does, she has prom, believes that it would be more profitable for it to pay a fine to ukraine and increase the gas volume pumping through the new systems. but there's no need for that. there's more pressure in the pipe, less c o 2 emissions into the atmosphere. everything turns out cheaper and at $3000000000.00 a year, it is necessary to fully comply with the contractual obligations for the transitive gas through ukraine. although it is more profitable to

and here in russia as well. facebook being a tight lipped on what the exact cause, my babe lost on something. this big happened was in 2019 and it took quite a few hours for services to get back on line. we'll talk to our corresponded a bit more about what's happening a little bit later in the program. next though, opening a pandora's box that expose a on tax havens has revealed how some of the world's rich and famous hide their wealth. among the names mentioned, our former british premier, tony blair, and incumbent check prime minister andre babbage of the league details how politicians, business leaders and celebrities avoid taxes using secretive offshore companies. and the pandora papers also single at the united states as a leading tax haven. i spoke to correspondent donald court who went over the 1st releases for us on whether there is sensational as expected. people definitely were anticipating something as big as what happened in 2016 when the pat, when the panama papers were released. but actually, this

now, at the core of russia needs attentions, lies. most concerned about major's expansion towards his borders. not only through formal acceptance of new members, but also through some sort of informal corporation, most notably with ukraine in georgia. and i would suppose that now when native feels certain weakness with the american, leaving them in such your disregarding fashion, there will be some need for postering. would you expect that to come come up again with that you know, more courting of georgia and ukraine and perhaps even more pride practical steps in trying to draw them closer in people. i think we've seen that with general lloyd austin statements, you know, those are just statements at this point and wish before but will yes, but i mean, you know, they restate the commitment i don't think that the biden administration wants at the moment to, to actually increase those commitments in practice because after all, it means this is absolutely basic geo politics, if you're facing at least as uses the need for vastly increased

now, i don't always agree with russia, but how russia is being treated, how the intelligence services use every opportunity to create destabilization in russia. it takes me off. well, russia has reported 29362 covert infections in the past 8 that is significant, but number it is the biggest daily figure this year. and it means mortality is at an all time high ortiz, donal quarter, can tell us more. russia identified that figure of sir, almost 30000 new cases across 85 different regions of the country of st. petersburg is one of the hot spots. the city identified over 2700 new cases in a single day, and that's the highest since back in january actually. and in moscow, unfortunately, the situation looks like it may be taking a turn for the worse as well. the capital has identified over $6000.00 new cases in a single day, and that's the highest figure since 3 months ago. now, in, as for russia, in general, there was also a record breaking number of deaths in one day that was 9968 people killed unfortunately by the crone of virus in one day. now, in russia, millions of people have been va

the unrepentant, in russia vladimir putin, in russia, came from no political party. he actually tried to unify the country. so group of russians that he sees as having no political base. he tried to unify the country political divisions, ethnic divisions, all kinds of division, but what putin tries to exploit is divisions in other countries. in 2016, we saw russian operatives pretending to be republicans, pretending to be democrats. pretending to be americans who are either pro-life or let us say racist or not racist. pro-guns, anti-guns. every side of every argument that is sensitive in the u.s. finds things like a pit us against each other. this is a real dilemma. these divisions are the kinds of things that give us exposure to the outside. polarization has become a national security crisis. someone who does not belong to a political party, someone who came in here in 1989 to come and find opportunity and live a life like everybody else, i am deeply disturbed. the parallels to russian history may be familiar -- they are startling and disturbing. one of the points i

it has everything to do with russia. so i believe there is more to this story of an energy crisis in britain than meets the eye. you know, patrick, also when it is, i think a dangerous for the average consumer is that in a way this narrative give me turned into see how see how incompetent carbon fuel is we really have to we have to make that final both. ok over, you know, to the green economy here, which of course for the people that are subscribed to that all, that might be all nice and fine. maybe they have solar panels already. but i mean, there's more time and effort putting in being put into 202420342044. what about this this, this, this winter? ok, these are incompetent. they think about unicorns all the time, and the rest of us pay the price for it. go ahead yet. so when there, when there is a spike in wholesale prices, it hurts the retail providers of energy. so it's, this is knocked out all of the smaller providers, the ones the government entice to get into the market for years. and so you're left with the big

want to watch out for russia on mostly gauge with talk to russia. but the problem is that nature is creating the very problems and then turns around and says, well, we are the solution to the problem because it, let's just say what happened in the last 2 weeks. they expelled these a mess and from nato and said, well, we're coming back on your, of your russian presence. nature. well, the russians just don't understand what we were tired of all this time. being all these accusations, we're just going to a song and say, we're closing down your office. and most of that nature uses that you are looking how aggressive russia is. so same thing with lloyd austin, the us defense secretary here. last week he went to visit the georgia grade romania, and the last to george and your grade, i don't to nato membership is over for you. well, how does nato, the united states expect russia to respond to this way? obviously they go to respond with considerable trepidation which then show them about guns or are you saying you are right? or aggressive? look at how there

it is about blaming russia and preparing for another war. you have heard the gym and 57 who is talking about even having atomic function against russia. this is a pressure is a statement that we haven't heard, even in the end of the cold war. we are back in the 984 in the late seventy's where people openly using crap and things that, that help them to gain confidence, emotion. it's not often someone disappears entirely from a list. so infamous of the f b i most wanted, but that's what's happened to a man said to be one of the key figures in january capitol hill, riots in washington. he was caught on camera telling people to storm the building and then shrink them inside. it's got some including members of the republican party raising questions about who exactly the mysterious figure is killing me up and picks up the story. an individual featured and videos calling for people to enter the capital building even before the january 6th capital riot and was seen on the day. january 6th, ushering crowds into the capital building has been identifie

now that has been debunked by both the leaders over russia and germany. and russia's ambassador to the you case as moscow is simply not withholding supplies totally, we're done with this whole. it's for political reasons. but guess pro, this isn't from station of course, while russia maintains that it's definitely not behind the increases in price in energy that we've seen here in europe. that hasn't stopped a very different story being puts across in the european media as well as media elsewhere. in fact, the very well respected news magazine focus has on their front cover of the latest addition, let me put and just underneath the headline, the cold. well, in this sense, in german, that means not the cold war within the latter part of the 20th century means the cold war in freezing. however, the headline that the so the headline says, lighting be, turns off the tops and drives up the price in germany. and it's a very similar message that we've seen across the median in europe. if we go over to the netherlands, similar headlines that we're seeing there al

how does that affect the relations with russia? well, that process on transformation has been started. let's see 30 years ago. i mean, we introduced you in europe a phone 238520058 new a t s. a mission pregnancy suggestion. very important issue in order to monitoring the level of emission of course, huge amount of investments. this, if you consider the overall amount the need of the world level in order to reach the curve on the truck in place to fix these more than 4 trillion doors on the basis. can we make a lot of money? of course, europe and russia are linked by a strong historical trade relation in the energy export of oil and gas, which cover, by the way, more than 40 percent of the federal russian budgets. it's very important. they supplier of gas and almost always stable. so we are happy in europe that we'd get the opportunity to receive that we, that's incredibly the way it moves in order to increase the level of social economical growth. that's very important. of course, the projects change in europe to renewables is comi

now i would compare to what russia went through before in the 90s, in to thousands because russia have changed this past the same challenge as therapy in union. they rush only attempt to time economic integration with the rest. and they came to the pendant, and for this reason, whatever rockdale, the westwood would offer a rush, i was always the best option on the table because the west coast only game in town right now that rushes diversifying and economic coming in a day. if the west, it's true, somebody deals are sanctions, russia, camila ships is focused towards the east, which is what it's doing. and this is kind of my argument as well as what the european union must do as well by not the lightning. it's solely to the u. s, as a country and the relative decline that has less than the strategic interest in europe. and witness there, there are some problems endemic in with the 2 biggest nations that would have to be deal with russia, i guess. and china mean russia with the, the no string to deal which america tried to press germany to abandon. but the fact of the things nearly none.

to slap new sanctions on russia. we're the north stream to pipeline in light of europe to energy crisis. it comes just days after vladimir putin pledge to ramp up. natural gas applies to europe as prices hit record highs. ortiz donal quarter, took me through the details. they're basically being accused of trying to artificially keep the price of natural gas as high as possible. but that actually announcement by the russian president vladimir putin to boost europe's natural gas supplies, caused a price decrease of 20 percent. right after that, amid this energy crisis, and just 2 days after that, we heard from us congressman michael mccall, who said that the u. s. should resume sanctions against russia in connection to the north stream to pipeline. and why? he says that russia's somehow weapon ising. it president biden and chancellor merkel committed to taking action. should russia attempt to use energy as a weapon? yet both of tend to blind eye to the puts in regimes deliberate efforts to pressure europe into accelera

in this case, they tried to do it at our expense at the expense of russia. but i hope we will build a dialogue taken into account the interests of all parties. it is right in the number i'm french and i know that the germans i meeting a lot of see with to. and so yes, the thing that we need to do is close those called higher power in germany, and either go into gas or go into nuclear, which a term and i do not want. so i mean, the energy transition is a step by step process. and if we do not do this step by step process, if we go back to dogma, then we end up in a property and in a climate disaster. if we want to go through energy transition, the price of energy will be high and there is no way out of this. and so therefore, we really need to be transparent. these are the appellation, be that we are people that are citizen, that if we want to fight climate change, we need to put more money in this. and this is something that perhaps brussard has forgotten or perhaps new, but didn't want to share with the people. and this is where we are here right now. the n

chris, a crusade against both the russia and the chinese, the u. s. isolated south because it becomes less able to diversify pies and thus excessively reliance on the us. so i and i only use the bus and prioritize your so the solution is simply for the you, in my opinion, at least a diversified ice. so develop an independent foreign policy towards the extent as possible and towards both the russians and the chinese. and by all means keep the trans atlantic partnership alone. 1 but also find a place in his chin on you greater your ation partnership with these marcia ration powers. he owned a minute. it seems to me when i, when i look at this here in kind of an echo with glen just said to us here is that in the u. s. takes it as a axiomatic, that they did, that europe will go long to pursue or push forward a washington's foreign policy interests. you know, you take care of the russians for us and we'll take care of the chinese, or we want you to be anti chinese who. i mean it's, it's very derogatory and in the way i look at it, i mean, why should the

the russia and china prisoners acute an immediate threat to the united kingdom in cyberspace. russia has combined military and non military means to alter the mob attempting to change the balance of power and undermining the cohesion of all societies through disinformation, russia and china gaining a decisive advantage in inflammation. h military technologies. interesting leave this year. the united kingdom has also invested millions of pounds to how vulnerable countries in areas in the indo pacific and africa, i to help them build up their own cyber defense is to prevent china and russia really filling this cyber space vacuum. and so it seems as though a, russia and china are indeed in the spotlight when it comes to the united kingdom. now, that was some warning of all of this, the united kingdom set out. and it's integrated review this year, which sets out its global vision. and indeed, provides a strategic threat assessment at the top of that is of course, russia and china. and the main takeaway really is less of the traditional forms of warfare like that of tanks all soldiers and

i think russia and the u. s. could find in a combination we did when i served george w bush's his under secretary of state for arms control. we signed the treaty of moscow in 2002, which reduced the operational and deployed strategic nuclear forces of both countries think that's possible again, but i think you cannot do that in the absence of having china participate. but do you think germany's your boy got no stream to i do it, make a mistake? sure. i think work, i think it's a mistake to become strategically dependent on any, on any particular source of energy. and this is something that ronald reagan warren to europe about in the $198.00 jo bolden. thank you. and that's for the show will be back on monday when we ask a full, a technical co lead at google about technological clos war until then keep in touch by social media and let us know what you thought of. john bolton's on says to our question. ah ah, well the gig is up in president or another land merican country armed with volcano energy is calling out th

so, so far, again, russia has been making these steps, increasing the volume. and, you know, vladimir putin has been very understanding and he's been saying that, well, we will do everything in our power, but it has to be beneficial to both the buy and the seller. and so it's really unclear as to how many more steps and reciprocated russia will take and is ready to take. it could have been that prevent that, i think at, i think we understood that in may, june, july, that we, the economy is starting to recover. we've yeah, but if you did that then to live with it, we needed more than if the european commission came out to public a thing where we need more gas and we will if the fresh total percent or market dominance. i think a put, you know, and the gap from way to have a look at the price and i believe they would have pushed more gas in europe. and so therefore, we wouldn't be in such a dire situation today. the energy crunch is exposed divisions within the u over green policies. the hungarian prime minister has blamed soaring cost on an oval reliance on renew

now, i don't always agree with russia, but how russia is being treated, how the intelligence services use every opportunity to create destabilization in russia. it takes me off as of thousands have taken to the streets of the italian capital. this is the scene there right now with a protest taking place against covey restrictions, least people. athena angered at plans being introduced from mandatory health classes to access the work places. rules come into floss, october 15th government says the moves necessary to get virus under control ahead of unexpected rising cases. this winter, as people will be inside more, less failing to present a pass or an ex if test results face being suspended or just plain infringement of their rights. curvy might be a global disaster but not so for some big farm of boxes. they just made the forbes rich list, find out more after the break. ah, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be an arms. race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy w

what watch on russia engaged with us in a way, you know, we have to talk to russia. the problem is, the nato is creating the very problems that he turns around is that, well, we all the solutions of the problem. because let's just say what happened in the last 2 weeks, they expelled this mess up from nato and said, well, we're coming back when you're a presence nature. well, we're actually just on around the so we were tired of all this time. being these accusations, we just do a song and say, we're closing down your office and most of that nature uses that you are look at how aggressive russia is. so same thing with the us defense secretary. last week he went to visit the georgia. you brain romania and the last to george and you gray, the daughter nato. a membership is over for, you know, how the nato, the united states explained russia to respond to the opposite. they go to respond with a considerable trepidation which then show them about guns or are you saying were right or aggressive. how there mouthing off of the grading in nature? no, i mean the interesting th

and this has nothing to do with russia or something. this is something that goes against the german economy and the german taxpayer is the worst possible time for energy prices to be going up to the consumer. europe is inexpensive business trying to keep warm. it's going to, it's gonna be difficult time for a lot of people just, you know, spending money, the little money. they've gone on just trying to keep the home their apartments was . did you see this coming the worst possible time? yes, i saw this coming and i already set this couple of times before because i don't think, but this happened on the thought of, you know, as a lot of lever offset, the german energy suppliers, they just don't order the energy from russia, which they easily could so they must be a political will to let the price of climb to get the german consume i use to higher prices, maybe to, to get the easier way to change the economy, to the very high cost and very expensive green energy. but also probably to use the german consumer for. busy these very expensive a

put pressure on russia, for example. also ensure that flights from syria or flights from iraq cannot happen . who bring these refugees and all these me so so just to make sure that you put maximum pressure on the lane also on russia and go on the government yet us live. you leaders have also agreed to impose more sanctions on men's going forward. but if bela bruce is actions are seen as a retaliation for existing e sanctions. how would imposing more sanctions actually be effective? let's talk about the appropriate or the nature of sanctions. because in the 1st 9 months of the year in the light of sanctions, bolivar some export of the goods to european union doubled. and look, shaneka laughed at the way. busy sanctions imposed because what he cares about is money. there are no restrictions on trade. there are almost no restrictions and capital. moreover, some european companies urge european union to change functional regime as it was imposed so far. so who should go said different hybrid modes of waging war against your

i do not mean russia now forget about those sanctions against russia. but the sanctions also persist against states that are in dire need of international assistance. no, nothing like that happens. everything remains the same. and where are the humanistic principles of western political thought? in fact, it turns out that there is nothing. there is only chatter. at one point during his speech, mister prudent began making some fundamental assessments of where western liberalism is heading and the spoke are quite a lot about a concept of traditional family. something that's very important for the russian leader. vladimir putin spoke out against a, raising the boundaries between genders and also runing the concept of our traditional families. though mister putin did say that he's okay with that happening elsewhere and the world. but he didn't want this to be aggressively imposed on russia. besides, this president vladimir putin addressed the criticism of the russian government for being too conservative. according to mister potent moderate conservatism is

i would say this has a lot to do with wind hybrid warfare with hybrid warfare against russia. and billers is being seen as a, let's say, influenced by russia for from the russell's ministration. and of course, from their western neighbors, the baltic states and poland. so i do think we have more concerns for geo politics here and for to human rights e. u has awarded it's sa, her of prize for freedom of thought to russian opposition figure alexey, and about a the accolades given out annually by the european parliament to recognize what it calls perseverance for human rights. the whole quarter got more details earlier from correspondent tele, davinsky is, is considered to be the use top human rights prize, but there are concerns about how it's been used in recent years. we've heard now on wednesday that the 2021 recipient is alexi navarro, leonor position figurehead in russia who's currently serving jail time for breaching bail conditions. just want to give you a bit of background on what's led to valley being in jail at the moment. i lost in august, he was on a flight on his wa

we need it desperately for economic reasons and that there is no reason to see russia. that'd be the right, the left wing media trying to portray russia as dave was responsible. the russians was possible for high energy prices and with the ship. we see today, this story is proven wrong though from now on. we know this for rising energy prices for rush close, russia even willing to deliver more gas. and then the contract obliged to do shoe forces that are responsible for, for increasing energy prices for, for inflation. there are not sitting in moscow, but hitting and berlin in less than half americans. now. confident that the binding administration can ensure a quick post pandemic, economic recovery, and fresh polling for trans democrats in particular, and losing faith. he is on his case more than with the story. joe biden is facing yet another drop in approval ratings. this time, democrats are starting to approve of the administration last with already significantly low approval among republicans and independence. now it's also important to note that in one area, which
