10:03 pm
sides to this. on the one side you had the germans, the austrians, the dutch, who really were not sure about the value that a price cap could have and would bring this idea of a fixed financial value for each megawatt hour. and then on the other hand, you have or is one of the other sites you had several southern mediterranean e, u member states who really were as it were crying out for some degree of help. the greek minister, last week in brussels had said this was ground 0 for greek citizens, but also e. u citizens. the commission, the ear commission, had wanted $275.00 euros per megawatt hour to be the price cap. the fact that it has been dropped to 180 gives you an idea of the lengths that everyone has had to go to to find this compromise. remember also that this is not going to be in operation actually effectively until the 15th of february. but point to they're trying to stress all of these, that this is

10:05 pm
he did not really reveal what's this response re, a predicted that there might be a more elaboration or details from russian officials, including president bruton, or foreign minister love robot. till the moment there is no clear decision on this . so it's just that the, the, they think it's on acceptable and that there are going to have their own also measures out present. redeemer putin has been speaking with alexander lucas, shank, of bella roost. this is important obviously, that the 2 countries are close allies and this comes just a mid fears that possibly batteries could be used to launch attacks on ukraine. well, add the goods in and, and lucas shinkel who i had a rasa just few minutes ago. i mean, almost an hour ago, and during this presser,
10:06 pm
they said that both of them a stress that they are working right now on creating what they described as a unified space military space. and that the russian military is going to continue doing a military exercises with its burleson a partner, and that both of them are going to work on developing their weapons. this is one another issue is that ration or pilots are going to train beller or see a better ocean pilots. and this is on the military side also on the sanctions, western sanctions booth and said that both countries are together facing this and confronting these sanctions. however, he commented on what he described as rumors that russia is trying to absorb, biller will see, and he said that this is not, this is not accurate,
10:07 pm
and this is not what roches is looking for, and it's sort of what they're planning to do. however, lucas shinkel said that it's true that russia can do without beller, bella, russia, however, beller was yes, as in car capable of continuing without the support of, of russia. and many other issues were, were, were discussed. and this and this meeting, however, it was a significant that the russian president commented on yesterday's out. walk comp final and i thought saying that he, i called the argentinean president and congratulated him for the win. all right, thank you. i much, allie. hashem, reporting to us from oscar. ah land hi court. his rule, the u. k. government plan to send asylum seekers to wanda is legal. the deportation
10:08 pm
policy was suspended in june after last minute challenge. the court also ruled this 8th individual asylum seekers used to be deported. must have their cases reconsidered. high force reports the governor london's high court refugee campaigners awaiting the ruling on legal challenges to the british governments. stated, aim to send the vast majority of people seeking asylum in the u. k, automatically to rwanda, to have their claims processed. and if successful to be settled, for the most part, the judges found in favor of the government. though justice lewis writing, we have concluded that it is lawful for the government to make arrangements for relocating asylum seekers to wander and to their asylum claims to be determined in rwanda rather than the u. k. however, the home secretary must consider properly the circumstances of each individual claimant. the court ruled that had not been done in the case of 8 individual asylum seekers whose deportation,
10:09 pm
her wonder was cooled off in june. after the european court of human rights intervened, people will have watched as to, as we carefully to day. and they will know now that there is a legal route open to them to challenge any of the decisions made by the home office. and between that situation and the possibility of appeals moving forwards, no one should think that this litigation is going away any time she certainly allowing individuals to challenge deportation to ruined up would undermine the government's claim that the policy would deter them from trying to get to the u. k . in the 1st place, this year, the number of people making the short but dangerous crossing from france is up more than a 3rd at around 45000 people. speaking in latvia, britain's prime minister, welcome the ruling. well, i want to deliver is a system whereby if you come to the u. k. illegally, you will not have the right to stay and we will be able to return you to your own country if it's safe or a safe alternative. like rolanda, that's a common sense position. i think of the vast majority of the british public. it's my position and that's why i want to deliver as prime minister,
10:10 pm
the various organizations who are challenging the government policy have of course expressed a deep disappointment at this ruling. but they're also saying that the road is far from run on an individual basis. asylum seekers will still be able to challenge that deportations to rwanda. and as far as the generic decision is concerned, they may well be grounds for appeal. i welcome the judges from the high court to day. the british i'm secretary, has in the post cold for britain to leave the european convention on human rights to allow it more freedom to act. if any appeal against this ruling were to succeed in the european court, it would leave her colleague the prime minister, who studiously avoided that question with a difficult decision to make harry force it out 0, london. out dutch punished the mart returns, issued a historic apology for his country's raoul, and till 150 years of slavery. it comes as a debate of reparation for those affected his growing clothing efforts to return. looted art, or for many descendants, an apology isn't enough. as 30

and 2028. described the slave trade as crimes against humanity. the ongoing impact for descent and the netherlands formerly abolished slavery in 18. 63. but the practice lasted another decade in its territories, including sir in him to day. 60 percent of the population of the tiny caribbean country lives below the poverty line. groups from former colonies have criticized the timing of the apology, calling it hurried, and how fostered with a lack of consultation. writes campaigners say, more needs to be done to address racism in dutch society. they point to the practice of blackface during the festive season, where people dress up as the christmas characters warranty peace, which translates as black peas. prime minister rata says more than $200000000.00 will be allocated to awareness campaigns and $29000000.00 to opening a slavery museum. for many descendants of slaves,
10:13 pm
it's just not enough. human rights watch says, a true reckoning requires reparations, including restitution compensation and rehabilitation. but for now, the dutch government isn't willing to go that far. ferdy, a car out, his era us house select committee investigating last year storming of capitol hill is holding its final public carrying out of the release of its final report on wednesday. panel has been seeking to find if former president donald trump and his team plotted to overturn the 2020 presidential election result a could potentially recommend criminal charges against him. mike, hannah is falling developments he joins me live now from capitol hill. just tell us what's being discussed right now. how are these, how these talks progressing? while right now, the committee is about to elaborate the criminal charges that it will recommend against the former president. these are
10:14 pm
a number of charges that the committee is going to recommend, including inciting an insurrection, obstructing congress, a slouch of recommendations that will be made by the committee. now this is its 11th and final meeting. the committee closes or basically shuts down on january. the 3rd, when the republican dominated house take over, but this is its final act. what it is doing today is summarizing those charges that it will be recommending and its final report, which will be released on wednesday as the, to our large meeting, symbolic the committee itself as no ability to bring a criminal charges. however, what it will be doing is referring these charges to the department of justice, which will then go on its own course to decide what to do. and actually might. we're now hearing that the house committee is recommending that federal prosecutors do bring criminal charges against one president, trump,
10:15 pm
for conspiring to defraud the u. s. government. so they are recommending criminal charges against for president, for assisting insurrection. they say, indeed, yes, these are the charges that i was just mentioning, which are now being outlined by members of the committee. what now happens is that these letters of referral are sent to the justice department. the justice department will look at this decide whether it is going to take action in terms of what the committee recommends or whether and this is an important point. one must remember that the justice department is conducting its own investigation into the activities of former president trump in terms of denying the election result. there has been a special council appointed at jack smith and he will be looking at all these details as the justice department decides whether or not to bring criminal charges
10:16 pm
. but certainly, the recommendation by the committee may be very persuasive in terms of what the justice department does. it could also be very persuasive in terms of the political future of the form, the president, given the fact that a house committee has now recommended that criminal charges be brought. also, of course, as the public aspect to this, in terms of a man who insists that he is going to run for another term as president. what the impact of that would be among the public who are now getting knowledge of criminal charges being recommended against people and the president. so this is certainly unprecedented as a hearing culminating now in these recommendations to be handed over to the justice department. all right for now. thank you very much, mike. kind of bring us all that i just on capitol hill. going to renew much more on the program after a quick break, including this story to it's a uses waiting to see if your muscle stepped down after calling his glass in an online vote.
