8. a british woman. spending hours waiting in the cold well for an ambulance. service we asked patients about the perceived health care. which people. here know. also and in the program sharply. targeting firms in the north stream pipeline project. will be completed despite.

her. bitter criticism the international criminal court. in the palestinian territories. around the clock across the world this is your r t international from the team and myself you know me welcome to the program. there's renewed concerns in the u.k. over the state have been national health service after a woman died in hospital of cardiac arrest following what her family say was a 6 hour wait for an ambulance broken her foot outside her home and. lying on a freezing pavement until hope eventually right the ambulance service has apologized for the lengthy delay but also say that the n.h.s. is under enormous strain. 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. it's a familiar statement isn't it r t's surely edward dusty has been taking a closer look at the actual tragedy and also the rough the challenges faced by the n.h.s. . well we're hearing story upon story of the state of the n.h.s. and the crisis within it but this one really has shocked the nation after a woman died after waiting for 6 hours for an ambulance service after breaking her foot in a wells despite neighbors running around to providing her clothing and warm items she was then finally taken into hospital but later died of cardiac arrest here's the father's account of what happened. right she was waiting. they were dealing with a heavy influx of. this time we were told they were doing the best but they didn't know when they would get

to as you just had a call handler did say that they were dealing with a heavy influx of calls plus they said they'd be there as soon as possible but the issue is they argue that it's not just a situation within the welsh and h s but the entirety of the united kingdom we know there's plenty of allegations against the n.h.s. when it comes to issues of being woefully short staffed and woefully under a crypt when it comes to hospitals across the united kingdom but as we know this incident is not isolated and there are several issues within the n.h.s. .

well the n.h.s. has long been held as a beacon of british society and of course has been in operation since 1948 but the issue of the crisis in the n.h.s. has led to many people becoming quite concerned when it comes to many people outside a london hospital of thoughts of the crisis with an n.h.s. . hospital just. my husband. and drive himself to hospital. rob ford never had a problem the saying it's a worry to much people. see this is not true it doesn't look like it when you come into the hospital you see the doctors will be looking out for the both what happens is the ambient people can't leave the patient until.

they get seen so i think that's part of reason why it takes a long car for you to control it. if you go call from a viewer population adding to the existing population every year and you're not building new hospitals you're not building new doctors for agrees the cold word. well this isn't the only crisis in scandal to hit the n.h.s. as of late as we know the heart of concerns is post breck's at trade deals and negotiations particularly at the heart of concern is the n.h.s. now the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn has accused boris johnson of going down the path of selling off the n.h.s. we've now got evidence that under boris johnson the n.h.s. is on the table and will be up for sale he tried to cover it up in a secret agenda this is the reality yes above down to go see

a chanst n.h.s. is for sale but truth be told there's a barrel of issues when it comes to the n.h.s. from the more obvious like cuts to services but also a growing population and ageing population evolving health care needs but one of the biggest most crucial factors at the moment is of course the increase of rely it says on the privatized sation when it comes to the national health care system so as you can see the seems to be an unending crisis. you know the story to bring you russia's foreign minister has spoken out against the united states the solution to impose sanctions on companies involved in the construction of the north stream to gas pipeline sort of roxi's the move on the mines the sovereignty of european nations and to stress that the project will be completed the spike washington's attempts to thwart it. so there were more states so it will be finished despite all these threats i am convinced that the 1st europeans understand their commercial

interests in terms of ensuring long term energy security secondly of course they were humiliated when the words we heard from the german side show that our european partners still have their cells which act. let's just break down what we're speaking about the nord stream to gas pipeline once completed will supply germany with russian gas fired the baltic sea out over 1000 kilometers long it will be capable of transferring 55000000000 cubic meters of gas per year that's enough to supply $30000000.00 households he has been looking at her group as the fight the us to get affordable russian through. washington has weaponized sanctions its 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 into europe currently under construction the united states commands

all our european partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream 2 and we commend others to do the same germany is totally controlled by russia because they will get it from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from russia and a new pipeline 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 into a corner here it's been arguing and puffing over the project for years dishing out threats and blackmail but to no avail the threat of sanctions as seen key european contract or 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 deal is federal government is against extraterritorial

sanctions we don't approve of this practice we oppose especially in through tutorial sanctions and his german in. 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 trying to force feed on its treasured allies across the atlantic shale gas because really there's 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 of 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 fresh. the need ukraine which had been left out of the pipeline deal will 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 mosco in kiev shook hands on a gas transit deal so europe all out wins 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 will on friend and foe alike it just continuing with this story a spokesperson for nordstrom 2 told r.t. that the project is essential for securing europe's energy security adding that work will be finished soon as possible we also took the opportunity to oust several analysts for their views on the escalating geopolitical tussle. well out of this

risk of me is due to the fact it's really sort of the so ready got very good it's a traditionalist remained cold while the shit with the banks and so also the very sensitive question that us is sucked out in solving something to do that awkward sorceries unless they try for all the problems of the 6 leagues the position of the specific on duty truck to describe it 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 and i and germany on the other hand i have no problem whatsoever to put the allies under pressure which is not sort of an act of friendship the 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 that 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 top 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 did a highly disciplined drove us atlantic western europe at their site. israel's ambassador to the united nations has launched a scathing attack on the international criminal court thank you saying it of diplomatic terror that's up to the organizations chief prosecutor fatou bensouda announced on friday her intention to investigate alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories. i am satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into this situation in

palestine war crimes have been being committed in the west bank including east jerusalem and the gaza strip the i.c.c. prosecutor's decision has turned the international criminal court into a political tool to do legitimize the state of israel this is a dark day for truth and justice and i lost a few years of hard work in full and also providing all the necessary information about the crimes committed by the occupying forces against the palestinian people point palestinian territories the decision was finally made today this is a great. achievement we want to eat. the i.c.c. has the authority to hear cases relating to war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity israeli officials insist however that it has no jurisdiction to investigate alleged crimes committed in the palestinian territories as palestine is not universally recognized as

a sovereign state the court's top prosecutor has signaled her intent to look into alleged war crimes carried out by both hamas and the israeli defense forces says 21 . show on jabbering is the director of the ramallah based al hook human rights organization he told us that all crimes committed in the territory should be investigated but believes that israel is not interested in delivering justice for palestinian victims. of the special robot wars. to get them to investigate they do to allow for the commission of you know the u.n.

commissions of inquiry has to come to investigate this is the case you know this is how these ladies dealing and 3 think there is to see a dozen poor calmly and one lee and the palestinians all of them to accept. that if there is crimes you know committed crimes by palestinians literally i.c.c. decides about that goal i have to be punished in his at least 3 months or something like that but i think is that is the concern from that if they know well that honesty is called me to crimes this is the i.c.c. go after them. but i think they don't want for this mechanism and for this tool and for this will be to function. still ahead turkey military support to libya's u.n. recognized government just as the west strikes oil deals with a rival administration that's closing in on tripoli more than trying to break.

is you'll media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being so. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the death. or. maybe the shallowness.

the democrats in their client friends in the corporate media clamor to have for months now determined to slow walking a winning strategy in the dangers of historical revision. today monday been a momentous day for russia president putin has officially opened the railway a section of the current strait bridge which connects the crimean peninsula to me and the russian russian leader boarded the train for the maidan crossing traveling from crimea to the telling of tama and russia's crustless are. then delivered an address to the construction workers involved in the project. reports. a very dear friends railway terminal a much bigger one the one in crimea is capital sin for opel the one that i used to

arrive at as a little kid to go to the seaside didn't see a single passenger train from mainland russia for more than 5 years i can tell you that crime means did want a cheaper way to travel to russia to see their relatives they wanted cheaper goods holidaymakers from mainland russia the ones who couldn't afford a plane ticket more desperate to get it as well well now they do have it we just saw the russian president vladimir putin inside the 1st train there it is right there to cross the railway section of the long bridge and europe i guess we can call it a test and once the test was over the 1st passenger train bound for sebastopol departed from st petersburg just think of it it will take 40 hours for that train to reach the crimean bridge. the entire european part of russia

before it gets to the crimean peninsula but just for a moment let's go back to talking about the bridge itself for you to understand what kind of technological marvel it is how much effort was put into what i just want to mention that construction workers had to endure more than 10000 hours of rough seas in the process well here are a few more facts about what the crimea and the whole of russia were waiting for for so long.

the people right here are celebrating because they do have a real reason to celebrate i can tell you that a few tens of thousands of railway i think it's have already soon train will depart from moscow and 3 from other cities of russia as well that is exactly the demand that i was telling you about and just wait for the holiday season to be. conflict and instability and war ravaged libya is intensifying turkey has pledged to increase its military assistance to the u.n. recognized government of the north african state unclear as involvement though comes as libya's general. head of a rival administration closes in on the capital tripoli since the $27.00 in 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. libyan controls most of the strategic oil fields it's no surprise a different countries rush to strike oil deals amid his trip in the office of his 1st senior correspondent murat. 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 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 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 warlord. 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. 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 countless 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 torah significant role in fighting terrorism and securing libras oil resources and the 2 discussed a shared vision for leaders transition to a stable democratic political system or oil oil or oil is it a coincidence that french weapons turned up at the hands of hoft us troops and then suddenly france's total energy giant wins a huge stake in an oil field controlled. by half italian any less pumping almost $400000.00 barrels of oil a day from libya as of last year if 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 can 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 concerned again any question is about what lives or barrels. in middle east expert edmund ghareeb think stuff the scramble for libya is all don't lead to more conflict in the already 'd stable nation. they want their own terms and that's what makes this situation much more complicated than libya and it's even becomes more complicated because of numerous players. intervening in libya's interim not up to the side of the external. european powers risotto intervention. france britain and so the united states

nato becoming involved we saw not a number of regional players also becoming. libya's internal affairs supporting this party or that party and particularly after the collapse of. this circle in my opinion the struggle over or resources danger that we're like you to see coming up in the coming decades how we are going to see struggle for control of oil and so this contributions from libya becomes like a a pilots are being divided among different. right kevin will be. you're in iran 30 minutes bringing you right up the date with all the stories affecting your world today no though more programs get their start in a moment. here

we'll see. what oh i. think it would be good if. this was. written. as this is a sticker from the old water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all of this waste to company has long promised to reuse the plastic.

that's. a special projects funded. on the disease. but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. i'm not sure if that's the welcome to going underground we will. be back with a brand new season starting on january the 8th but until then we will be showing some of your favorite shows from the last season of the decade coming up in this show are israel and the usa rogue states when it comes to international law we are lots of israel's former man in washington. and the new film the gaza fight for

freedom.
