russia says there's no doubt the north stream to gas pipeline to germany will be completed it's despite a new swathe of u.s. sanctions targeting the energy project. an offensive on the libyan capital looms with more foreign players trying to carve out a place in the oil rich north african country. informants for the u.k.'s domestic counterintelligence service m i 5 now have the right to kill torture and kidnap in the name of national security. the woman died waiting hours for ambulances the state of britain's state funded health system is brought into sharp focus we talk to hospital users about the crisis in the n.h.s. . it's. too much people.

this is not true you're not building new austerity you're not building new doctors . were. monday morning at 9 here in moscow my name's colin brady world news from t international 1st following sanctions slaps on russia's north stream 2 european gas pipeline by the united states foreign minister sergei lavrov has spoken out saying there's no doubt the project will be completed. so there will still youths so it will be finished despite all these threats i am convinced that 1st of all the europeans understand their commercial interests in terms of ensuring long term energy security secondly of course they were humiliated and the words we heard from the german side show that our european partners still have their self respect.

not stream 2 as a gas pipeline being built from russia to germany through the baltic sea but more than a 1000 kilometers long it will be capable of transferring 55000000 cubic meters of gas per year to supply almost $30000000.00 households it was done off reports now on how we go ribs to fight america to get affordable russian fuel. washington has weaponized sanctions it's official along with spending on nukes the army and cyber sanctions in the u.s. 2020 military budget it started in mission for the year the elimination of one of russia's gas our trees into europe currently under construction the united states commands all our european partners who's taken a strong stand against north stream 2 and we commend the others to do the same germany is totally controlled by russia because they were getting from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from russia and a new player this pipeline if completed would make europe even more dependent on

russian energy we don't want your energy supplies to be defended and. to be fair washington has been backed 9 into a corner here it's been offering and puffing over the project for years dishing out threats and blackmail but to no avail the threat of sanctions has seen key european contractor all seize hold its operations nevertheless in an admittedly rare act of disobedience to the u.s. europe has been on russia's side determined to have the pipeline built as a matter of principle the e.u. opposes the imposition of sanctions against you companies conduct a legitimate business in federal government is against extraterritorial sanctions we don't approve of this practice we oppose especially extraterritorial sanctions that hit german and european companies. washington has decided that even the closest nato allies don't deserve mercy if the us geo political and commercial

ambitions are at stake why while it's easy follow the money russia doesn't ask much for its gas and nord stream too will be europe's cheapest way of getting the blue fuel and that's in stark contrast to the alternative washington is try. to force feed on its treasured allies across the atlantic shale gas because really there is only one economy that has to be strong uncle sam's even at the expense of its nato partners and the made in america stamp may be fancy but the markup for the freedom brand makes the whole affair outright economically stupid for the e.u. also washington's been trying to convince brussels that tightening its belt and enjoying a bit extra economic stress is well worth it because it's all for a good cause supporting a nother european

a friend in need ukraine which had been left out of the pipeline deal to keep working together to stop the nord stream to project that undermines your creates economic and strategic security we do not want our european friends to fall prey to the kind of political and economic manipulation russia has attempted in ukraine since it cast off its soviet shackles it would create another tool for the kremlin to use russia's energy resources to divide europe and undermine and destabilize ukraine it was almost like russia listened because hours before sanctions hit north stream 2 construction moscow and kiev shook hands on a gas transit deal so europe all out winds from the pipeline both economically and geopolitically seeing russia and ukraine finally touch base again and this statement by the u.s. envoy to germany hasn't aged well at all currently there is a lot of talk in germany about doing more for europe and we believe that when it comes to north stream 2 we have taken an extremely pro european position

washington's crocodile tears are not fooling anyone anymore trying to maintain a compassionate face pretending it's acting in the best of intentions only to have itself exposed as a super bully rolling out one creative plot after the other of forcing its. we'll on friend and foe alike on north stream to spokes person told r.t. that completing the project is essential for european energy security and says that work will be finished as soon as possible bronson from the alternative for germany party thomas fassbender a journalist and former businessman both say the united states has once again demonstrated its wish to keep russia and europe away from each other. america doesn't have to be part of every deal that is made on the planet and there are important of course our most important allies and germany on the other hand they have no problem whatsoever to quote the allies under pressure which is not sort of

an act of friendship i believe that the americans were hoping that their pressure would work along the way at some earlier point and now they don't they realize the europeans are very firm they want to complete north korean too they want to have the cheaper russian gas delivered to europe and only now are they taking actions because they realize that the game is lost and now they're putting on sanctions to make it difficult for russia and the europeans to close the deal u.s. interests that dog maintain a rift between western europe and russia because they need in the future more than even more than in the present they need. to have a close ally and this highly disciplined approach you would drop atlantic western europe at their site the interests of the u.s. is geared it will not work that way because europe is not strong enough to or 'd compete as

a power of its own with us china russia but on the other hand is too strong to simply follow all the u.s. to everywhere they want to go. conflict and instability and war ravaged libya is intensifying turkey's pledge to increase its military assistance the u.n. recognized government of the north african state and chris involvement comes as libyan general have tapped the head of a rival administration closes in on the capital tripoli since the 2011 up writing the country remains split between different militias and political camps at the root of all this is the fight over africa's most abundant oil reserves and as have tires libyan national army controls most of the strategic oil failed it's perhaps no surprise that different countries have rushed to strike oil deals amid his tripoli offensive his art is what i'd guess if. 8 years ago in a matter of a few months nato bombs transformed libya from one of the richest states in africa

to a playground for warlords world's biggest slave market the capital of human trafficking having messed things up beyond repair and all recognition the intervention team withdrew 8 years later it's round to. turkey recently upset almost everyone in the mediterranean when it carved out a good portion of the sea between itself and libya a huge area rich in oil and gas and by libya i mean the un backed government of national accord one of the governments fighting for control of the country in return for the g.n.a.s. signature turkey promised them support meaning guns lots of guns there are. 2 key will not turn from the agreement it has reached with libya we are we'll aware of the intensification of infos to overthrew the legitimate libyan government if necessary we will increase the military size of our support and take

advantage of all kinds of opportunities on land the sea and their general have effectively leads the other government through his libyan national army he now controls most of the country most of the oil land he's winning turkey is threatening to deploy soldiers to stop him it accuses egypt the u.a.e. and russia of supporting him. 8 years ago russia and china stood against intervention saying it would lead to chaos for which they were ridiculed it turns out they were right though no one likes to be reminded the russian strategy in libya is extremely responsible it has no geo political dimension. and puts libyan interests at the forefront we are not on any side of the conflict. on paper france supports the g n

a it is after all the un recognized government they've said flowery things called for peace hosted fruitless summits that led nowhere so it was strange when the g.n.a.t. came out and accused france of supporting a war lord we are surprised that france does not support our government that is democratic but supports a dictator a few months after those words french weapons were seen in the hands of how stars forces advanced weapons things have become very serious serious enough to jolt an old school interventionist into action. 8 years ago the united states led the mob the bombed libya into oblivion they cheered and literally laughed when gadhafi was tortured to death by rebels yes we came we sat there and he died there the laughter stopped when the same rebels that

hillary helped murdered the american ambassador now they're concerned more so than they've been for years what changed candles thousands have been butchered in the years since the intervention why speak out now concerned about libya external military intervention threatens prospects for peace united states deplores attacks on innocent civilians and calls on all sides to free him from escalation only a political settlement will resolve the conflict oh does it military intervention threaten peace sad irony aside we're getting closer to the whole point of this proxy free for all as usual it was trump that said what everyone was thinking the president recognize field-marshal have tourists. if we can rule in fighting terrorism and securing libras all resources and the 2 discussed a shared vision for transition to a stable democratic political system or oil oil or oil is it

a coincidence that french weapons turn up in the hands of hoth us troops and then suddenly france's total energy giant wins a huge stake in an oil field controlled by half italian any was pumping almost $400000.00 barrels of oil a day from libya as of last year a country locked in a bloody civil war and then making millions american conoco phillips owns 16 percent of an oil field controlled by half the libyans a slugging it out in a bloody stalemate no one cares but suddenly when the balance of power appears to shift when one side appears to be winning and when things could change and the oil pumps could stop suddenly they're concerned again any question is about what

lives or barrels. middle east expert edmund ghareeb thinks 3rd foreign countries are trying to some profit from libyan oil. they want peace in their own terms and that's what makes this situation much more complicated than libya and it's even becomes more complicated because of the numerous players i was intervening in libya's internet up to i was beside the external by those you european powers risotto intervention. france britain and so the united states and nato becoming involved we saw not a number of regional players also becoming involved and libya's internal affairs supporting this party or about party and particularly after the collapse of the dr jean this circle in my opinion the struggle over or resources danger to the crew like you to see coming up in the coming decades how we are going to see struggle

for control of oil and so this is going to be interesting libya becomes like a a pilots are being divided among different class. in the u.k. now where a woman has died after waiting 6 hours for an ambulance on a freezing pavement him whilst she broke her foot have taught her the next day she died of cardiac arrest the i'm going to send this explain the delay by saying that it's not an either or the whole national health service that's on depression we are sorry that our response took longer than we would have liked on this occasion lengthy waits for an ambulance or a sign of pressures across the whole unscheduled care system not just in wales but across the u.k. . britain state funded health care systems come in for a lot of criticism of late with allegations that hospitals are woefully short staffed and under equipped cuts in funding have also led to long waiting times the tragic case in wales is just one of several to emerge this year.

we asked people outside a hospital in london about the crisis in the national health service. it's been 6 hours just waiting in the hospital just to get a couple stitches on the feeds fear my husband last night we had to wait in the end of this was when we called he said to the minimum to always wait and he had to drive himself to the hospital

a couple in the next 20 ninth's decide. they were the limits your heart never had a prob the saying is. too much people that's why i do. this is not true it doesn't look like it when you come into the hospital you see the doctors will be looking out and about what happens is the ambient people call and leave the patient until. they get so i think that's part of reason why it takes a long pair for new cars for each intro arms if you got a call from a viewer population adding to the existing population every year enjoy not. you're not building new doctors for agrees it can't work earn it apply to britain's n.h.s. has been taken up by veteran documentary filmmaker john pilger and you can see his full interview on r.t. dot com healthcare for all on the basis of need not ability to pay that's an

enormous and important chief. any case is being refurbished from a lovely service to something for profit expression. unknown to most of the public . around the houses of parliament. the offices of so-called think tanks lobbyists and professional propagandists all of them with one target the national health service they're actually clustered around the department of health and there's a revolving door between them and parliament and the department of health. but they they they use they have a cabaret. is is that the seat for wanting to use words like reform. partnership. none of these positive terms. have any real meaning anymore what they mean by reform is is

privatizing and destroying. baths they would deny that but they've created this extraordinary for cabaret as they've created their own persona they hope of legitimacy. because they have so many now people within parliament and so many people from the private health care industry in the department of and they and of health they feel they can get away with this this is brought to you get out this is modern corporatism it how it works it's it's it's greatest and least understood weapon is propaganda. you're with i think from moscow environmental pressures are putting the brakes on germany celebrated auto industry as r.t. reports among our stories when we come back.

join me every thursday on the alex simon sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. get you going to be for us it's like the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water using the power. supplies the night before christmas and all over the world people are mining

seeking individual sovereignty so they'll probably just throw anything. against kidnap and torture committed for informants working for m i 5 the u.k.'s domestic security service. tribe you know explain that otherwise it would be impossible for them to maintain that. if no prosecution authorities made aware when such a case occurs then de facto the informant has been given carte blanche to act as the like or agents and informants are permitted to commit crimes when it is in the interest of national security however the new judgment doesn't detail the types of crimes allowed what's more it doesn't confer absolute immunity now this is

a prime minister boris johnson's plan to strengthen u.k. law and bring it into line with the united states the measures are supposed to aid counter terror activities as well as anti espionage missions former british intelligence officer annie machon believes the government is doing it to crack down on whistleblowers and activists i think this new ruling from the invest 3 towers tribunals does actually implied the m i 5 can pick and choose whether or not to allow any of the agents in the field to getting involved in any sort of crime up to and including murder and torture and kidnapping and this is a very legal gray area and i sized because they're governed by a parliamentary out called the security service act 1909 m i 5 does not have an explicit provision like that under the rules governing it so what this tribunal is trying to establish was how far they could go in justifying what their field agents could do and it still remains a gray area so the reason for this ruling is nothing to do with the what the agents get up to in the field i think this reflects

a great concern of the government which is to update difficile secrecy laws and they are doing this to bring it in line with the americans or switch a much more draconian to crackdown on whistleblowers and activists. with the german auto industry apparently in crisis right now even major manufacturing regions are having to rethink their futures the german carmaker that owns mercedes benz was warned one region of the country not to rely on the industry anymore it is clear that bargain burton berg would certainly be well advised not to relies solely on the automotive industry for the next 100 years in terms of prosperity and industrial added value. companies have announced they're making huge job cuts in the near future some 70000 jobs are at risk with experts calling it the biggest crisis since the invention of the automobile the. shift to electric vehicle technology has now explained. with the new year just around the corner many people

would like to leave behind 2019 and look into a new start for sunderland's that would mean the out all industry hopes of a prosperous and positive 2019 will be dashed with unemployment and our surfing the internet for a new job the reason top out all manufacturers in the country will be cutting jobs starting the new year the companies made the announcement last month saying they will reduce the number of employees in the next take it starting in 2020 the move has been described as the biggest crisis since the invention of the deal sadie's benz will be 10000 jobs worldwide but the most significant one is audi it will be slashing 10 percent of its workforce world wide that means one and every 6 german workers will be losing their jobs must become lean and fit for

the future which means that some job profiles will no longer be needed and new ones will be created and old but in the name of the new e.u. green policy which aims to ensure that european citizens will stop using anything that contributes to c o 2 emissions transport should become dressed to kill or less polluting especially in cities a combination of measures should address submissions congestion and improved public transport the green shift in europe is encouraging manufacturers to provide more electric engines and audi is doing exactly that but he needs to find the money and what better way cutting jobs but with all the advantages that come with. electric engines critics say that there are many obstacles in the way of becoming sealed to neutral. the electric engine is not environmentally friendly mainly because of the batteries which require red minerals and have

a high mining cost to the environment the transition to electric engines will not happen we cannot give up on the internal combustion engine looks like the old image of industry builds those electric coast to fill a year requirements to decrease c o 2 emissions of their entire income flate the only known way right now to decrease pollution is to have a diesel engine with more efficient performance and less exhaust gases there is room for improvement over the traditional engine and that should be our goal to meet their target in developing electric engines out all makers plan to reduce the cost and firing employees worldwide not only the traditional manufacturing positions but management as well the development tools c o 2 neutral mobility rick was large investments part of this program is to reduce stuff costs by around $1400000000.00 euros by the end of 2022 sure the shift to greenfield calls will create new positions but what it be enough to cover those that are cuts out the shift to electrum ability will create 2000 new jobs lot bad

but in order to create those jobs there are cutting $9500.00 others it is unclear where the shift towards green energy will be as profitable as the out all industry once was but politicians and companies are trying to reassure the public that the changes are for the best but damage is done for many germans this holiday season will not be the same if we have a crash in the car industry i mean german economy as a whole will crumble that's the situation but all those climate paranoia not only impacting the car industry also other industries industry. yes we try to have really relying on then achieve our heavy damage and of course there relocate their facilities in other countries for energy use more cheaper and they don't have to ask much and such regulations there's completely realistic policies i mean there's

no logic in it it's just panic german government is trying to rescue the role just an international effort that's ridiculous you cannot rescue to rolled with one percent of the world's population that's ridiculous and now you're up to date wherever you're watching thanks for choosing on t.v. this i'll be back with more from the moscow news statement 32 minutes. shows seem wrong why don't we just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day comes after. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
