british woman dies after spending hours waiting in the cold for an ambulance highlighting the systemic pressures on the national health. patients about a perceived health care crisis ongoing in the u.k. . it's. too much people. you're not. you're not doctors. to russia sharply condemned new u.s. sanctions targeting firms in the north stream gas pipeline project but stresses that it will be completed anyway despite washington's interference. diplomatic terror israel directs a barrel of bit of criticism at the international criminal court over plans to

investigate alleged war crimes in the palestinian town. they were going to hear monday night just to hear more of the 23rd of december welcome to this live update from the international news center with me kevin owen and 1st the nurse mentioned the renewed concerns in the u.k. over the state of the national health service after a woman died in hospital of cardiac arrest fallingwater family say was a 6 hour wait for an ambulance i mean broken a foot outside a home in south wales donna gilby was left lying on a freezing pavement until help eventually arrived the ambulance services apologized for the lengthy delay but also emphasized too 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. our t. shirt it was dusty next takes a close look tonight at the tragedy and the raft of 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 the 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. the call handle it it says 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 was fully 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. . my husband. and himself hospital. rob ford never had a problem the saying it's a worry too 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 to know both what happens is the ambient people can't leave the patient until. they get

seen so i think that's part of each of my. car for each intro and if you've got a call for a 1000000 population adding to the existing population every year and you're not building new hospitals you're not building new doctors for agrees it can't work. well this isn't the only crisis and 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 and he secretly and this is the reality yes of for down negotiations n.h.s.

is far 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 reliance 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. russia's foreign minister spoke out against the united states decision to impose sanctions on companies involved in the construction of the nord stream to gas pipeline so he says the move undermines the sovereignty of european nations and the stress of the project will be completed anyway despite washington's attempts to thwart it. so there were more states 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 that will stream to gas pipeline once completed it will supply germany with russian gas via the baltic sea at over 1000 kilometers long it's going to be capable of transferring 55000000000 cubic meters of gas per year to europe that's enough to supply $30000000.00 households he goes down off the exam into dispute right now over the project and europe's defiance of the us washington has weaponized sanctions it's official along with spending on nukes the army and cyber sanctions are 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 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 were getting 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 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 deal is a good federal government is against extraterritorial sanctions we don't approve of this practice we oppose especially extraterritorial sanctions that hit germany and european countries. washington has decided that even the closest allies don't

deserve mercy if the us geo political and commercial ambitions are at stake why well it's easy follow the money russia doesn't ask much for its gas and north 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 friends. 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 moscow in 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 will on friend and foe alike a spokesperson for north stream to spoke to us direct that the project is essential for ensuring europe's energy security adding that work will be finished as soon as possible we are several analysts for the views on the escalating to political tussle over it. well out of this risk of me is due to the effect that switzerland the so ready that very day it's a traditionalist recall all the shit with the banks and so also the very sensitive

question that us is sucked out in something to do that awkward sorceries unless they try to throw out all the problems. the 6 leads the position of and the specific oddities. described 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 allies are 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 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 an austrian to 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 is launched a scathing attack on the international criminal court accusing it of diplomatic terror itself localizations chief prosecutor fatou bensouda announced on friday her intention to investigate alleged war crimes in the occupied palestinian territories . i am satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into the 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 bad advice and now after 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 the okee point palestinian territories the decision was finally made today this is a great day for us we have achieved what we wanted the ice c.c. has the authority to hear cases relating to war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity israeli officials insisted that it got 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 nonetheless to look into alleged war crimes carried out by both hamas and the israeli defense forces since 242.

she won jabbering as the director of the ramallah based al hoc human rights organization he told us all crimes committed in the territories should be investigated but that israel is not interested in the living justice for palestinian victims. they don't allow for instance for the special robot wars to get in to investigate they don't 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 the israelis dealing and treating kerry says see it doesn't work on lean one way and the palestinians all of them to accept. that if there is crimes you know committed by palestinians literally i see the size of that goal after

the palestinians at least 3 months or something like that but why the is that is the concern from that if they know well that palestinians committed 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 or for 80 to function it 16 pass fail hybrid even thanks for watching us tonight hope to stick around for at least the next 10 minutes as our news continues after the break turkey's been boosting its military should support to libya's u.n. recognize government just as the west strikes all deals with a rival administration is closing in on tripoli could be a big mess they're about to kick off where across it among the stories ahead.

backs geysers financial survival. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or. week to ask. the democrats in their planning and friends in the corporate media clamor to have trump and for months now they are determined to slow walk it

a winning strategy the dangers of historical revision. again of a meant to stay for russia this monday president putin's officially open the realm a section of the straight bridge which connects the crimean peninsula to mainland russia the russian leader board of the train for the making crossing traveling from crimea to the town of russia's president. putin delivered an address to the construction workers involved in what is a huge ambitious project to report. a very dear friends railway terminal a much bigger one the one in crimea is capital simferopol the one that i you still arrive at has a little kid to go to the seaside didn't see a single passenger train from mainland russia for more than 5 years all i can tell you that crimea do. would 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 were desperate to get it as well while 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 longest 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 it will cross 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 and 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 few tens of thousands of. railway i

think it's out already been solved sooner train will depart from moscow and from other cities of russia as well that is exactly the demand that i was telling you about and just wait for the whole day season to begin. is really the trunk of it the next conflict and instability in war ravaged libya it is intensifying we can reveal turkey has pledged to increase now its military assistance to the un recognized government of the north african state involvement comes as libya's general khalifa haftar the head of a rival administration closes in on the capital tripoli that could be big trouble in the coming since the uprising in 2011 the country remains split between different militias and political camps and the root of all this is the fight over africa's most abundant oil reserves and those have to as libyan national army controls most of the strategic oil fields it's perhaps no surprise that different countries rushed destroy the oil deals amid his tripoli offensive is a senior correspondent with the latest for you. 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.

2 key will not turn from the agreement it has reached with libya we are will aware of the intensification of infos to overthrew the legitimate libyan government if necessary we will increase the military size of our supporters 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 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 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 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 hostiles troops and then suddenly france's total energy giant wins a huge stake in an oil field controlled. by half the italian any was pumping almost 400000 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 piers 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 had been going to read things that the scramble for libya's oil will only lead to more conflict in the already unstable country. they want their own terms and that's what makes this situation much more complicated than libya it's even becomes more complicated because of numerous. wall intervening in libya's interim not up to the side of the external. european powers resort out for intervention. france britain saw the united states nato becoming involved we saw a number of regional players also becoming involved. in the fairs supporting this party or particularly after the collapse of dr jean this circle in

my opinion the struggle over or resources danger of a group 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. next testers in france told on the busiest railway stations in paris monday as mass industrial action of a planned pension reforms and its 19th day. demonstrate is occupied part of the garden the almost platform some reported a scuffle with police how the hell fled france's transport that networks a big power license the start of this month hundreds of thousands protesting against the proposed pension reforms public sector workers many people fear the whole means they'll be working far longer for smaller pensions well that's why

things looking to like so much more are you know come on a social media for me kevin and the rest of the team thanks for watching out international from russia. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go right to press it's like the full story in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. west sydney. you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. exists is a stick for the open water bottle phone in the stomach of the fish the brand is spawns 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 this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. special projects funded he tells it did.
