on this, you walk down the street, you still see the start storefront with the negative thoughts, but you don't go in and buy those gosh. the the us in germany strike a deal on the north stream to pipeline, but val action on the russia over the alleged threats to security posed by the energy project. moscow in fit to the pipeline is purely commercial. the flooding in china, in 1000 years, it has caused the deaths wiped out transport infrastructure breached dams and sparked it's huge blast and have an aluminum plan. and the situation said to be getting worse, nobody suggestions, unchecked information on the way. no serious,

president biden says the highest us inflation rate in 13 years was foreseen and won't last long, but that is not bringing much comfort to those feeling the pinch in their pocket. groceries are definitely out, and also the rents are also going up. i don't buy anything when as me, what it says nowadays, i truly, truly know. ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios in monster. this is our to international . i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, germany and the us have reached a deal over russia's north stream to gas pipeline to europe decides agree that dependence on russian energy poses a security threat. well, this deal, it's been struck between berlin and washington, essentially means that the united states will not actively try and stop the north stream to gas pipeline from opening up. some would say the time for doing that with

already well past the project is almost finished in about the start running. but what this deal does mean is that there will be major investment in ukraine from both germany, the united states. germany will be acting as a mediator, or at least at cold on germany, to act as a mediator between russia, gas problem, and ukraine's enough, the gas in order to get a new contract. a new deal, sir, for transit rights for russian guest pass across ukrainian territory into europe. they're looking for an extension of the deal until 2034 or so the current deal expires in 2024. so it's a 10 year extension. thereafter. at the moment, the rumblings from the russian side of being for quite a while that they're quite keen to do that deal. so it'll come down to whether jeremy can convince the ukrainian side to get on side with that. there's also set to be major investment in green technologies in ukraine by both germany and the

united states. but while they steal, as they say, essentially remove the chances of the us trying to actively stop the pipeline and those comb with some threats towards russia. the deal saying the part, the wording of the, the joint statement following the dale saying they should russia try and use energy supplies to put pressure on any nation in europe. well then there should be sanctions and there should be consequences. the united states and germany are steadfast and their support for ukraine sovereignty territorial integrity, independence, and chosen european path. the united states and germany are united in their determination to hold, rush her to account for its aggression and malign activities by imposing cost of our sanctions and other tools. well, a couple of weeks ago it was announced that next month the pipelines construction phase will be over then it should take around 3 months for specific taishan and

safety checks to be carried out and gusts from the gas fields of siberia will be connected under the baltic sea directly into germany and not gus can start flowing . and it's got that there is a big demand for here in germany for the 1st half of 2021. we saw gas supplies from russia to germany, increased by 43.4 percent, and we can expect that to rise in the coming future as well the united states and wanted to be the one to supply the gas that germany needs with liquefied natural gas b l n g. the problem is, is that needs to be shipped across the atlantic, they have to be re justified in special plants. ultimately, it costs a lot more money. the u. s. has said, it won't stand in the way of this pipeline right now, but it certainly doesn't mean that they like it in washington. you told this committee that you believed the nordstrom to pipeline would have disastrous effects

on u. s. national security. that it would have disastrous effects on european security by making them subject to economic and energy blackmail from russia, and that it would enrich and in power to carry out that blackmail. do you continue to believe that i do sen? while this is clearly a political issue in the united states, as far as russia is concerned, this is all about business attempts to portray us as an aggressor and the country, carrying out malicious activities have long been a hallmark of 1st folks threat stores. russia are groundless and useless. we have repeatedly stressed that the nor swim too and other russian export pipelines are business arrangements with the countries that buy our gas. or this deal between the united states and germany does seem to mean that the nor stream to gas pipeline will be up and running and sending rushes, dust into germany and into the rest of europe. or sometime by the end of this year,

professor of political economy, jack rasmussen told us that the deal between germany and the u. s. could be a sign of biden conceding that the pipeline was already a done deal. i think you got to look at the context of the recent meetings and discussions between biden and enter your opinions, particularly jeremy, you know, the germans, the europeans, considered us position on the global tax and not taxing us tech companies. i think this is probably a quid pro quo to some extent of biden can feeding what as everyone knows, it's already a done deal and allowing the germans to continue and get the cheaper gas. you gotta understand that this whole sanctions over a gas began not stream to began under trump when the us had a lot of natural gas and prices were falling. and you know, the industry, oil industry, which trump was running interference for their solution,

was to make the europeans force them to buy us gas. that would cause prices arise in the us as well as more volume sales in europe. but the problem was, the gas was just too much more expensive and the european just waited it out. and then now you got to know the done deal and they got to cover it up somehow, you know, buyers coming back with his tax concessions and they position the whole thing with regard to ukraine to make it look like the u. s. and still being tough and isn't considered in russia. at least 25 people have been killed and more than 100000 evacuated to safety after devastating floods had china on tuesday. the country has been daily huge, with what weather forecasters are calling the heaviest rains in a millennium. the the

let's break down what is happening across the country here on this map. in the red you can see the worst hit region china central had non province. it is largest city there. jang ju is located on the yellow river whose banks have burst. weather forecasters paint a grim a few days to come with more heavy rain and strong winds. the typhoon causing all of this havoc is expected to hit the nearby coast regions in the yellow among them . shanghai was zoom in now on james, you, which has seen some of the most dramatic events. what you can see here is a waterfall inside juice airport coming down through the roof and things were so bad at the hub that it was unable to accept incoming flight for 26 hours. and parts of the local subway system were completely submerged. leaving terrified commuters trapped under ground. the network had to be completely shut down. so over ground cars were seen floating down to flooded streets,

while rescuers plucked people from raging torrance. it was water that also triggered a huge explosion at an aluminum plant. the harrowing images there, the incident happened after a nearby river burst its banks, its waters reacted with chemicals at the sight. a massive plume of smoke could then be seen rising high into the sky. local reporter rang men g brings us the latest from the streets of ginger. i'm here at one of the area that has been blocked by the to actual re capital city on central china. the probing where the rescue was due, all the way to has a re for in a capital states, it has left a call. the other one say the ring you have, the funds is right. how the weather forecasts say it will last until tomorrow. the latest from the local authorities say that the re for in a capital city, a resource hungry and time limit of 3 days. why,

year rainfall remains to run the $640.00 millimeters, which means the need to have with me today is a whole year ring for each of the 3 days. the central theatre people's liberation army said on wednesday morning. it has sent for more than 3000 men and 8 defects of equipment to fight to the plot. to carry out the rest, your walk in the city, emergency response level, a flat being raised to level one. the railway operator has to have carried out to ensure safety, such as the stopping services on the lowering the operation speed at the right central area. so you have to be called total water supply and electricity. the provincial flaw control and a drug really had a quarter reported up more than 140000 residents, have been affected by torrential rains and coo and i. since july 16 and 10000 have been relocated safely. so fall dozens of cities or know,

attacking the massive disruption to transport services with roads swept away and rail lines damaged the extreme rainfall is also threatening. several dams and reservoirs authorities have reported a 20 meter breach in a damn near the city of la young warning that it could collapse at any moment. soldiers, police and military personnel have been deployed to help with rescue efforts. thousands of people spend it in a suburb of gender. many have been waiting for this website since last night. we follow your rescue team into one of the worst effect in areas where up to a 100 people have been mandate for 24 hours. rescuers have resorted to life both in areas where the water level reaches. denise. michelle bought a ride to help on tuesday night. his company is dedicated to dissolve to read you your family. enjoy all the water can reach

a depth of up to 2 meters. many are surrendered at this point and they don't have any food. they're in a difficult situation right now. i believe has to both move forward. the water gets deeper and cause how means the merge. local resident lead us when area where around 20 people waiting for help. so many cars are still under water and people in the area can get out. only 3 of us swam out to find the reza q. can you for help? there is no more signal at all due to the loss of internet and communication tools, the stranded on their own dozen people were found trapped in the lap dated building started within an hour doing water reached by next to the shortwell. i was submerged in the water with me and put it on me on the outside mail without to move all pulled up. oh no. yeah. well,

let me know my loaner young migrant worker in jingo, now has to find a hotel to stay in with many hotels either fully boots all flooded, no easy task. this is one of the worst affected areas. the 3, all inundated the traffic lights are not working. there was no electricity, no internet, daily supply, and not available for the locals. what's worse? there will be more rainstorms in the next few days. they don't want the dtn don't go on and province with inflation in the u. s. hitting a 13 year high, people are rapidly feeling it in their pockets. a new pulse of 88 percent of americans are worried about the disproportionate increase in living costs president by the claims it hasn't come as a surprise to him. and it's certainly having little impact on his spending plans are experts believe in the data shows that most of the price increases we've seen are we're expected and expected to be temporary. nobody suggestion is unchecked

inflation on the way. no series of times. let's check that no one checked inflation plan. now if you have a car, it costs you twice as much to run it as it did last year. your prices have double your daily breakfast now comes with an 8 percent price like as the cost of milk, bacon and fruit have gone up. on top of that, you've got consumer prices that have hit their highest amount since 2008. now, despite the presence assurances, america's working families already being hard hit by the pandemic are starting to feel the pinch. the groceries are definitely and also the rents are also going up and just household items are making serious progress to ensure that it works the way it's supposed to work for the good of the american people. while construction material is out of this world, somebody's making some good money, and i think it's because joe biden, we could help families in small businesses, whether the ups and downs or as the economy recovers. i don't buy anything when

asked me what the, wherever me it says nowadays i, i truly, truly know. look, we brought this economy back from the brink. now biden refuses to hear those voices . perhaps he'll listen to those within his own party. labor market tightness, behavior of housing, markets, and asset prices all rising in a more concerning way than i worried a few months ago. this raises my degree of concern overheating scenario. there are huge uncertainties, but the focus of concern now should be on overheating. and if that's not enough to change the president mind on the economy, perhaps this comparison is the wakeup call he needs. the u. s. is in the very best position from a long term point of view. i don't see how these can and well, when we're running now, budget deficits, something like 15 percent of judy pete. this is beginning to look a little bit like a latin american country printing and spending money like there is no tomorrow, as pretty clearly got people concerned. biden gave the excuse to spend is

necessary to tamp down inflation, which is ridiculous, has nothing in common. you can't stop the consequences of monetary printing by doing even more monetary printing, which is what it means to spend this level of money. and the fact is that biden, and all of his advisors and the political party that he represents, are big spenders, and they want to spend more money. they think that the u. s. government can go into infinite amounts of that. there's no limits whatsoever. they really believe this by mature is us. the problems are just temporary, but perhaps it's a bit like the pandemic and the economic aftermath. it's a bigger problem than was 1st thought. but it seems to be a problem that biden's apparently incapable of recognizing failed mop and r t new york. more than one and a half 1000000 hectares of forest have been consumed by raging wildfires and rushes . ne, yeah. could your region,

some 50 towns and villages have been blanketed with choking smoke? no emergency services, volunteers, and locals are battling to bring the flames under control around 2000 people and 300 vehicles have been deployed are correspond, but i got you have, has been looking at the scale. the tragedy wild 5, they just, one russian region have consumed an area that is larger than jamaica, or montenegro and full cost aren't good. it's hot, it's dry. and it's burning. who's me? the ah, to put it far out. you have to, you have to get to it, which is a problem. given the vastness of rushes force firefighters are literally

parachuting into the fire zones to join the efforts. the government is sending more and more resources and manpower and vehicles and fire fighting aircraft to combat the inferno. but local activists said, still not enough that reaching out internationally for help. they've even us leonardo dicaprio for assistance. okay. i've heard you. i, in my management's, we'll look into it, then we will talk with your thoughts in charge to see how we can be of help. siberia is dying now. also very hopelessly a help. can you post on your official page about 5 in siberia, please. okay, i'll fix a meeting with my management. thank you very much. leo. siberia loves you. the activists to publish the exchange. they the, the lead has it, but so far as he's already had the response, if we receive an official offer of help,

then of course we would be happy if he came over and provided some assistance. but to be honest, i find it hard to imagine what he can do to extinguish the awkward fires. sit in hollywood. publicity is always good. the more noise that people raise, the more attention that these funds will get. this is a perfect fall storm. historic heat leveled, lack of rain, dry forests, all came together in these fires that have burned down thousands of square kilometers of ancient woodland and killed countless wild life. this is a taste of what's to come as the climate changes. because the overwhelming prognosis is the, these 5 will rage worse and worse every sama all over the world. so become in the program, the works of william shakespeare have been dropped at one prestigious university. as you're trying to de colonize creative writing course. more than just as are to

international i join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me . in democratic society with free speech rights, words are spoken freely in those words that catch attention and result in something that is beneficial to all have a place in the market and the marketplace of ideas in those words and ideas that don't benefit society as a whole. tend to get discredited or weaned out of the conversation off through the magic of open dialogue through the magic of free free. so what you saying is that

they no longer have the competence to respect the 1st amendment. they are not a competent nation, they see the rise of china, and they've lost all their confidence. and they're going to be repealed effectively . the 1st amendment the, the, the, the, the mattresses are t international. now, there has been a new victim of cancelled culture william shakespeare himself, a renown to creative writing course in the u. k. is to be the colonized which includes dropping the works of the english play right. to move was immediately ridiculed with many branding it anti academic. now it comes after some students at the university of east anglia complained the course was dominated by privilege to

white male experience. so now a new module will focus on quote, the emergence of modern english from a multilingual medieval society and its colonial expansion. that essentially means the bards have been booted and the author born in authors, excuse me, born in africa, asia, and south america. now, top of the reading list, we asked people in britain for their thoughts to me, everybody must bring their own set. thanks to chase. this is imposing on people to on it and basically finding it it's censorship because if you think some of the attitudes don't correspond to your own, absolutely short term isn't completely misguided, obviously that each of them might find it offensive. well, that needs to be read to do, i will listen to that. that would be

a big mistake. the fact is that the play written when they were in time to they were and i think that people, i think people are big enough to be understand what kind of time wouldn't be you wouldn't write about today. but then, i think sort of your secondary dumbing down, but nobody, nobody able to process the information themselves. i don't think program universities defended the move, saying the changes make the course more diverse and inclusive adding that students will now study literature from around the world, including publications, from its own award winning graduates. but talk radio host to john gaunt. isn't having it sees anglia, some of the top reflected in the world did that creative writing course, so they'll actually attacking their own needs just seems to me to be deaf. of course, let's make sure the syllabus has writers from other ethnic backgrounds. let's make

sure we show it's in its whole new clarity. but the idea is the you stop by counseling. shakespeare no, or that you counsel white male writers. how does that help any one? you can't just cancel it and pretend shakespeare didn't exist. i mean, they would never do this in some way, like crumbs with the molly. this is council culture outage. worse is woke agenda and the students need to basically get a life you can learn from the classics. wolf's at all. no, not necessarily by studying the merchant of venice. for example. think that everything in there is acceptable because you don't. you look at it in the whole and that's what needs to happen. we want our kids to get education. not indoctrination, don't we? south africa is still reeling from last week's violence and mass looting,

sparked by the jailing of former president jacob zoom. and while the protests have already resulted in more than 200 deaths and 2000 arrest locals, fear things could still get worse. our policy clear has been seen 1st hand how people are coping. we here and hillcrest waste of good than in south africa, where the feeling on the ground is that although the whites and looting has subsided for now, there is a 2nd phase coming. and that phase could potentially be more damaging. with me is matthew and member of the local community watch who's also been in the thick of it . why do you think things are going to get with i think we've got a situation where a lot of the, the leeches and the mothers just have destroyed the jobs. so there's no way for them to in an income. yeah. you bought each tv and you got to the bob and that's all going to be going to be wanting to come back and new more.

what about police station? i mean i've heard rumors that the police station to be targeted next. and if so, why target police station, there's a big potential for that because the police, you have weapons, they stole width of the stations and unfortunately, they're not running the position to run as well as that could be, you know, they're not very often, not the most secure place, this is the local gun shop and the owner who has been talking to us but doesn't want to be on camera, has been saying like other gun shop owners in the area that had his shop not being protected with security. it would have been completely looted as it is, he's run out of ammunition as people have bought at all for fear of a sick and uprising at the moment. they're trying to take away all right, t own firearms, legally, to defend ourselves. the system is supposed to be you apply for a firearm, you get it within 30 days. legally. that doesn't happen. it's taking up to 7 months

now. which obviously is incredibly difficult if you're in a situation where you feel your last in danger and you want some physical protection, you can't get it, which is very, very difficult to. so i think the events of the last $78.00 days of proven us that we, we can't rely on. we can't rely on wound fortunate. the police or the army to come and go to us. we have to do it ourselves. me. this is becky hill. whatever can hill industrial hawk, this is where one of the main hotspots for the leaches and the violence started. and they were up here for hours. they fight up and could really get you haven't thought about, need the police to come and assist the police, didn't come this and the private security had to run because they went to court to deal with peaches. basically i'm here at a storage facility where 90 percent of the units were destroyed and burned. it took

the police and emergency services more than 48 hours to reach here. this is just one of many incidents that happened simultaneously in both durban and johannesburg . what we believe happened is that we caught the fire brigade and they needed police support, and the police were tied up with places like the malls and bigger, bigger establishments. and unfortunately, we were left without support. other than those local community who are amazing immediately. and we thank the community for the support that we were out without support for all i would say at least 40 hours, people have stood up and we've done what we needed to do while we are doing it while we are supporting the police and they're not supporting us is something is created starting to create a huge anger on the ground. obviously on the main objective is to assess god, our families and just to try and keep them safe. and if it's a really bad area to get them out of this. so we've identified a couple of installations,

some schools and fields and things like that. shopping centers where we could get to families together and come to and declare and potentially get a support to get supplies in, in people out until proper help can arrive. the situation can improve the, these items people back to the shop by the neighborhood watch who accosted the luther running with him down the street and recognize the labeling and both him back. so what do you think with the fact that the close report back to you? we're very excited said thank you very much. see you all. thank you. not the scene we've been seeing during the whole week, but it does show that some stories have a happy ending policy. a r t, hillcrest south africa. iran is facing its worst drought in half a century. the countries southwestern province of kudos done has seen days of

violent protests over severe water shortages and 2 young men have been shot and killed in the past. and one policeman has also been killed us on the funny called the drought unprecedented with average rainfall down over 50 percent compared to 2020 professor side mohammed miranda from the university of care and told us that water shortages may not be the only reason for the unrest, protest don't mean that people are against the stomach republic of iran. it means that people on the streets in different cities in the sun or upset about the shortage of water and the problems that the drought has caused. and those are legitimate. what happens though, is that people with guns infiltrate these gatherings? well, it's going to be a tough time for iran. we have sanctions, americans and europeans trying as much as possible to make life as miserable as

possible.
