british were dyce after spending hours waiting in the cold for an ambulance highlighting a crisis in the u.k. . so much people that's why. it's not true. you're not building. a call center. russia sharply condemns new u.s. sanctions targeting firms involving the old street to gas pipeline project but stresses too that it will be completed despite washington's interference. and diplomatic terror israel direct. criticism of the international criminal court of a plan has to be in its best a gated alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories.

just 11 pm this monday night here in moscow 2030 decembers of his welcome to this live half hour update from the r.t. international news center with me kevin 1st then we're going to focus on the u.k. for a top story there are new concerns there over the state of the 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 having broken her foot outside her home in south wales donna gilby they say was left lying on a freezing pavement until help eventually arrived the ambulance services apologized for the lengthy delay but also emphasize too that the n.h.s. is under enormous strain especially at this time of year. 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. to show here it was dusty takes

a closer look at this tragedy and the raft of challenges being 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 a 6 hour. breaking her foot despite neighbors running around to providing her clothing and warm items she was finally taken into hospital but later died of cardiac arrest here's the father's account of what happened. she was waiting. they were dealing with a heavy influx of. they were doing the best but they didn't know they would get. the cool hand 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 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. 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. being 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 the london hospital of that foots of the crisis with an n.h.s. it's been 6 hours just waiting in the field hospital just to get a couple stitches on the field spear my husband last night we had to wait in the embassy was not dead when we called he said to the minimum to always wait and he had to drive himself to the hospital. in on the 29th. and they were there within minutes there are more it never had a prob the saying it's a worry to much people. 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 ease of my. car for each intro and if you've got a call from

a viewer in population adding to the existing population every year and you're not building a new hospital you're not building new doctors for agrees a cold word carney well this isn't the only crisis in scandal to hit the n.h.s. as we know 'd the hub 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 corbett has accused boris johnson of going down the path of selling off the n.h.s. we've now got evidence that on the 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 use of force down to go see a chanst n.h.s. is for sale but truth be told that's a barrel of issues when it comes to the n.h.s. from all of us like cuts to services but also

a growing population and ageing population evolving health care needs but one of the big. yes mess crucial fact is at the moment is of course to increase offer a lie it says on the privatized action when it comes to the national health care system so as you can see the same sabean unending crisis. other news tonight russia's foreign ministers spoken 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 took over 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 in the words we heard from the german side show that our european partners still have their selves. good if you look at all the stream to gas pipeline was completed is

said to supply germany with russian gas by the baltic sea but over a 1000 kilometers long it will be capable of transferring 55000000000 cubic meters of gas per year to europe that's enough to supply $30000000.00 households it goes down off next night examines the dispute over the project right now and europe's defiance of the u.s. so for it to. 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's taken a strong stand against north stream 2 and we demand 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 us 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 given i don't government is against extraterritorial sanctions really don't practice we oppose especially in through tutorial sanctions that his german and european countries. 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 6 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 mark up for the freedom brand makes the whole affair out right 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. 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 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 fetes 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 an old stream to told r.t. 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 their views on the escalating due political tussle over it. well out of this risk of me is due to the fact that switzerland he's already got very good it's a traditionalist recall all the shit with the banks and so on so the very sensitive question that us is sucked out in self is something to do that corporate sorceries alone as they try to throw out all the problems. the 6 leads the position of and

the specific offer to use. this product 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 eyes are germany on the other hand they have no problems 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 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 blog even

more than in the present they need. to have a close ally and did a highly disciplined approach us atlantic western europe at their site. it was a bastard to the united nations launched a scathing attack on the international criminal court accusing it of diplomatic terror itself there with his agents chief prosecutor for 2 ben suder announced on friday their 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 out of my side now after a few years of hard work. and after providing all the necessary information about

the crimes committed by the occupying nooses against the palestinian people point palestinian territories the decision was finally made today this is a great. achievement we want. the i.c.c. has the authority to hear cases relating to war crimes genocide and crimes against humanity israeli officials insist though that it's 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 all that said though had signaled her intent now to look into alleged war crimes carried out by both hamas and the israeli defense forces since 2040.

jabbering is the director of the ramallah based al-hayat human rights organization he told us all crimes committed in the territory should be investigated but that israel is not interested in delivering justice for palestinian victims. for instance for the special robot wars to get them to investigate they do to allow for the commission of your. the un commissions of inquiry has to come to investigate this is the case who this is all these ladies dealing and very sincere doesn't talk only of one lee and the palestinians all of them being except. that if there is crimes you know committed crimes like what is the unions literally. go after. 3 months or something like that but why is that is there concern. that if they know

well that palestinians called me to come is this the core of them. but i think they don't want for this mechanism and for this tool and for this. to function. if it was meant to stay for russia this monday just gone president putin's officially opened the railway section of the strait bridge which connects the crimean peninsula to mainland russia the russian leader boarded a train for the maidan crossing traveling from crimea to the town of to man in russia's president region but ima putin then delivered an address to the construction workers involved in this huge ambitious project trying to report. a very dear friends railway terminal a much bigger one the one in crimea is capital sin for opel the one that i use store arrive at as a little kid to go to the sea side didn't see a single passenger train from mainland russia for more than 5 years all i can tell you that climb 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 take it 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 in europe i guess we can call it a test and once the test was over the 1st passenger train bound for sebastopol departed from sea. just think of it it will take 40 hours for that train to reach the crimean red 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 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 think it's have already soon train will depart

from moscow and 3 from other cities of russia as well as well because that is exactly the demand that i was telling you about and just wait for the holiday season to begin. at the top of which a christmas just around the corner a new comedy shows outraged brazil's catholics of putting a satirical and probably offensive twist on the story of jesus's life the program which was released on netflix depicts christ as a gay man who likes to party. yeah . i knew but i still don't want you guys. over 2000000 have signed an online petition calling for showed be removed from the flicks they're also calling for an apology from the film's creators over the offense has caused the poor. production company to have

a we're not confused by this it's all. as the petition against his picks up steam we celebrate the success of yet another one of god's creations our christmas special the 1st temptation of christ remains ever more powerful let's see what our guests think about it we go by current stateside radio and t.v. host also from the big apple media around list lionel hey there guys well when we start on this i got confused myself so kurt is it really a big deal here it's christmas time should this be taken in the spirit it was intended 1st of all what do you think about this people are calling for this especially in brazil where they say it's offending basically 80 percent 86 percent of the population that are devout catholics. yeah a 120000000 people 86 percent of the population i mean i don't know what this brazilian comedy troupe is thinking with offending the audience that they're going after it's just wrong it's just scary sing christmas is scary sing

a major religion for back and it's just making a joke out of a really sacred holiday for many catholics and many christians around the world and i think it just goes too far you know you can be funny without offending everyone while the guy the plays jesus in this film road to satirical newspaper column afterwards certainly not but with this at all he said getting offended will leave me fellows when i don't like something i leave i'm grown up not simple when you talk about religion is it lionel. oh well 1st and foremost what this is is the greatest marketing ploy to takes time some 2nd rate 2 bit comedy and now elevated internationally look if you don't like something don't watch it but i just want to add one caviar just one i'm all for letting people see this so long as netflix and the makers of this particular tour de force can look me in the eye and say they will consider or see nothing wrong with making

a joke about mohammad or abraham or any other religion if you can do that or conversely if you let me and perhaps my my colleague here do something that satirically funny about day or trans people if you let me do that and if you just apply this broad brush then we've got a deal otherwise this is the biggest poit we're falling for this nobody would have watched this piece or garbage or look at the public but we are now but to answer your question if you yes but if you don't like something seriously if you don't like something have we not learned don't watch it that way to kill something commercially just don't patronize it you've just handed them a success do you not see what's happening now not you but i mean you will you come off i haven't we learned by now your current job over this more publicity that

they could have never really hopeful is expended in the. yeah yeah i see that and i think that that's a sad state i mean i think it's something that shouldn't have happened in the 1st place i think that they should have had a little more tact and putting this thing out about christmas you know this is the same trip that won an emmy award for the last hangover which was this is other satirical religious comedy that they did if that wasn't enough why disgraced christmas you know what is one thing people can talk a turn off the t.v. but it's another thing that the people are speaking through this petition and they feel that it's wrong and they don't want to there and on that flex and you know what let netflix poll it what the poll and let them take it down especially in brazil absolutely that include no what 86 percent of a christian population let them take it down but like the low there on a gay people in brazil especially i mean this is in a place that is run by the brazilian president. wrote of course schools of pro doma

focus of the proof a dead son to a gay son surely needs to be somebody are supposed to come true to life and people that have to go and live there and do without cost of all not what you think but i suppose a couple of things here for example the lever on social since gallo. although you for clarifying that you know since a beginning of time since galileo there have been people who have dared to take on certain things which proved to be most problematic and not mad here to defend the idea what they can here is to defend the idea of expression and that's it and i could say there and i can write down why this is blasphemous and it's true whatever you think it's terrific but have we not only going to have a a sharlee have go again do we not learn from this the best way to kill

and quell and just dilute any kind of negative idea that you don't like is to be indifferent to it when you elevate it when you hold it up when you say my god what you've done don't watch this foam tension world again as i think we've clarified you've just given them this this attention but i think my my my learned colleague here would agree with me what is separate what drives me crazy is how it's always this satire is always open game are questions specifically even extra points for catholics if you can do it your it's elevated to a status that is beyond but you will never ever hear anybody in any way lamb pool or criticise islamic and i'm not advocating it or judaism or or anything else for that matter is zion coptic so there is this opening game this

idea that christianity is there for you to bludgeon and blast fim that's what annoys me to no end and if i can do anything to stop this i would like to destroy this particular intellectual vector by ignoring it and stop all this bloody attack and said that we're giving bill careless kids who were graduating the so you'd like to see this program in the series but i pulled off. there's also a call for a big. boy some evangelical pastors a world wide group of them to. pull flicks completely what is the who are the scales of justice who's you see there with you jewel the law. i think the chances of pulling netflix down is not going to happen and i don't think that anyone really is realistically calling for that even though there is some rhetoric around that i think that really what needs to happen is we need to

start to have respect for religions you know my colleague made an interesting point you know if this was not catholicism in christianity you know people wouldn't tolerate this if it was you know making fun of islam or other things i mean i think that there needs to be respect for religions overall i mean look at the rise of anti semitism and where we've come with that now you know it's just unfortunate that little left has decided that they can take hits at everything from religion to anything that has any tradition to it to family values and that's where i feel like this is wrong i feel like it just goes too far and i feel like this brazilian comedy troupe did this for one reason i think are caught my colleague all agree it was to be famous to do this and to create controversy which has got them more eyeballs but the reality is is that the people have spoken and they want this thing taken down and i think in a country of 120000000 christians they should have been taken down it should be god it should be taken off netflix now should have the respect for the religion for the

people that have spoken in this country and the respect for tradition you know it's christmas why do we want to undermine christmas what about people in low income family been notified as we've said the millions of people that are at it for you and says it is offended but what about the percentages in brazil that wouldn't be offended by the should they be catered for to have to give in to the majority but see here is the thing that i must remind the world of and i know that i have any sense it is offensive. ok friends only know that let me believe it just adds up the odds i will give you that it's offensive and i will say it and i will stipulate to that that's not the point the point is simply this in our country we have this thing called the 1st amendment and the 1st amendment and i know this doesn't apply worldwide but dispirit i think does and it's to protect those ideas that need protecting and those ideas some of the greatest ideas whether it's its chemical and physical or scientific or our artistic came from somebody daring to to go

against the system now granted this might be trite and i'm not trying to elevate this to to the ph or divinity or anything along those lines but who is going to be the arbiter who is going to say this is worthy of protection and this is not this lampoon and this type of parody is worthy of our attention and this is a that's what i'm saying so the best thing is to do not ever kill expression when ever you do you got to make sure think of it as amputations as this is so vile there was an immediate clear and present danger of something that has to stop thought and expression and feeling it's got to be so immediate something that is i can't think of anything in the mean time the price to live in a free world is to weave nor it to use your ability in your freedom to just say i'm not going to use say what you're thinking knowing you really got time so i can.

thank you very much i don't see before christmas thanks being on the show i'm afraid we're out of saw i'm bye bye. mary do i have a merry christmas to you to toss to leaven in the evening here in moscow this way things look at so far from russia tonight thanks for watching the show for me kevin and the rest the team have a great rest of the evening. you know world of big partisan news a lot and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever.
