see what that battle has done to him. i feel like julian's life might be coming to an end. we are in a conflict situation with the largest and most powerful game plan. in such a situation. it's remarkable survive the war place gold mud with racist overtones. that's just some of the reaction to new york professors take on 911. the academic, colbert terrorists atrocity which killed almost 3000 people, shot on white american capitalism. also ahead, the european gas market gets a boost from a wind power shortage with prices hitting a 10 year high racing yet more questions over. relied on renewable energy

on the race itself for seats in russia, parliaments, with the election just days away will be giving you the full breakdown in our special coverage this our upfront ah, life for moscow. this is our team. my name's you know, neil, i'm 30 minutes of news and views start now. last weekend's 911 anniversary. how's expose and enduring divide over the course? american values. the terrorists were supposedly targeting and i want new york professors sparked outrage by calling it and they took the quote hetero, patriarchal capitalistic system that whites americans fight to protect quite unlawful. her comments sparked a fierce backlash with many calling. it woke this cold, mud killer, both and reports $911.00 brought the country together. it was

a day of shock and terror and fear and americans clung to each other and was followed by massive public displays of patriotism. after 20 years, the taboo about how to discuss these events seems to be fading. and some rather interesting viewpoints have surfaced on social media. we have to be more honest about what $911.00 was and what it was and it was an attack on the head. her butree, alco capitalistic systems that america relies upon to wrangle other countries into passivity. it was an attack on the systems many what americans fight to protect the author of this tweet. assistant professor jen am jackson of syracuse university has done what has never been done before. she framed 911 in a racial context, saying that americans of different backgrounds were affected by different like white americans might not have really found true fear before 911 because they never saw one man to be accessible, vulnerable,

and on the receiving side of military violence at home, but what americans experiences are not as standing for america. one can imagine that such comments were not universally embraced. i don't really think you're intelligent enough to know what you're seeing. so i'll ask, is that an endorsement of the 911 attacks because it sure sounds like it. this is the kind of disturbing rubbish people spout when they see the world through a lens of identity politics. pretty sure al qaeda wasn't attacking us over a hetero patriarchy issue. i am also pretty sure that it's too easy to get a ph. d, if this lady has one. first of all, number one is the header of patriarchal and capitalist as well. so i don't know why they would want to attack the us. those kinds of ideological grounds. us is a powerful secular state which is saw as therefore oppressive to muslims and raised doesn't real. yet to the picture at all in

america, america is race upset. so americans assume that race is a factor everywhere and everything. but in this case it was not really any significant factor. there are always silly people everywhere who want to give. ready novel interpretation to, to, to certain events and to want to interpret 7 very assess the self serving ways. the university of syracuse has defended these words, saying that they are a legitimate part of the discourse. some have asked the university to condemn the professor's comments and others have demanded the professor's dismissal. neither of those actions will happen at the home of the maxwell school of citizenship in public affairs. free speech for all people across the political spectrum within the limits of the law and the university's anti harassment policy is one of our key values. speech can be offensive, hurtful, or provocative. still syracuse university will stand by the principles of free

speech and by our commitment to keeping our community safe in the face of dress and harassment. professor jackson is not alone. educators in florida are being advised to avoid some of the gruesome details about $911.00 for fear it could inflame anti islamic bigotry. it seems like the attacks have become yet another crucial issue and an already divided america. questions like why did 911 happen? what were the hijackers motivations, and how was the populace affected while they seemed like automatic assumptions 20 years ago? not anymore so many years about truth and integrity. i would love it. you're going to america in academia, and government run public schools that we taught our kids the truth about $911.00 that we got rid of this mid of american exceptionalism. the drives so much imperialist policy. but this curriculum is determined by government.

and while we have a government of losers, by any definition of that word, losers, the victors, right the history. and in this case the u. s. federal government is still winning as term and in terms of maintaining its authority in the united states, it writes the textbooks, it runs the schools, the government will not without a narrative that makes itself weaker. so government schools in america for many years to come will continue to be used as tools for propaganda to reinforce the government narrative about $911.00. and in the latest episode of going underground r t heard from lauren's wilkerson former chief of staff to secretary of state colin powell, he reflects on america's post $911.00 policy where it might have gone wrong will be showing not as few and full later in the day fear in re was how they made

the decisions they made in the aftermath. that's not a good environment in which to make national security decisions for fear, as i indicated was they will get rid of us. but then there was a quick realization really coming after the brief out and the megaphone in new york, where the president said, and the people who did this will hear from us that is, polls would skyrocket and they did. so they quickly became motivated by political considerations. the poll numbers of the 911 mix up the erotically with a strategy involving defense companies on k street. and how this can be manipulated into a, into a money spinning idea off the bodies of those who are killed as an hours warning in january 1960, about the military industrial complex we just put on steroids. the complex became desirous of analysts war analysts war that would feed them like a cash cow and keep them alive and breathing and their ceo's making enormous

salaries and their company solvent. that's why we expanded nato to a certain extent to so we could bring the poles and others into buying these equipments made by our arms merchants. so this complex was largely responsible for the military staying in afghanistan for 20 some odd years. it was only august. you didn't believe biden was going to withdraw troops and of course some people say that may well have been advisors to have a chaotic withdrawal. to show presidents. this is what happens when you overrule those kinds of defense company. yeah, you said it did a sama been not and when i mean you've talked so eloquently about the corruption that torture the heroine, the relations between the cia and the i s i and pakistan. and now the united states has lost so much so much in this world since the $911.00 attacks. i think when we're looking at those been lines projections directly on that one fought why i

think it was 1998. i think he succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. i think our empire is going down pretty fast right now. i'm beginning to believe that it's on salvageable. laurence wilkerson. meanwhile, us intelligent services are war that al qaeda could regroup on attack the u. s. again, within just a couple of years, the terror group leader, i'm and l is our here re, reportedly appeared in the video on the, on the 1st 3 of 911. despite being rumored dead. he has fronted out canada for 10 years after succeeding with some have been loudon who has killed in 2011. the us state department is offering a $25000000.00 bounty for information leading to what he read capture. that was whereabouts remain a mystery. 2 years ago, a un sanctions monitoring team reported that if the terror groups leader is alive, he would likely be hiding in a dentist than probably. and perhaps

a previous video released by i came back in march, showed some on dated clips of is always hearing. but no direct evidence of him being alive. meanwhile, a former intelligence officer told us the u. s. withdrawal from us ghana stone could become an effective propaganda weapon for groups like al qaeda. if there is a threat coming from afghanistan in the future, as the pentagon suggests the possibility, and let's face it from an article perspective, of course, there's a possibility that it's not just because the u. s. is occupying largely african stones last 20 years, or in terms of many, many other countries around the world occupied by the u. s. and which doesn't necessarily have very friendly relations with that there has not been many, if any attacks from these countries, they talk over the last 10 years. and during the 20 years, it's a great propaganda. boost for archive. and you had is everywhere,

got to america as the west is actually lost in afghanistan, intervention has proved india and futile and very costly either by now or in the foreseeable future is to be giving countries such as the united states, an excuse to mount intervention. again, in afghanistan and other headline story today, come winds in the north sea help triggered a critical shortage of wind power, sending energy prices soaring from the european market. natural gas prices have risen to their highest level in at least a decade, which has a direct knock on effect on household electricity prices, which have left on average from $50.00 to $65.00 euro per megawatt power hour on the continent. it's raise questions of over alliance on renewable energy with austria as former foreign minister, sending us countries with a broad energy mix of less price turbulence to the fact that the wind

is blowing and that the sun is shining less. that the guts inventory. so very low, all that, all together, great stuff mixed. that's on the one hand that led to the increase in power prices. kinetic tricity prices, of course, also natural gas prices. and on the other hand, as, although the permanent lessons risk of power cuts your electricity, we have tremendous rise. it's only like 40 percent of the poland, speaking of 4050 percent. so this effect of countries, other countries, which for instance have an tricity based on nuclear like in france, i'm currently living the seclusion different. there might not be such a price rise, but we really have to look at it from countries to countries. and again, in my eyes,

it's not only about fries drive the real problem for many countries, in particular, in germany, where we already had several of the creation of a crappy and near power cut in, not in certain regions. this is a tremendous problem. car in connect, so more pressure is being piled on the wind power industry in germany with the eco campaigners railing against plans that cover thousands of trees to make way for turbines will bring you the latest. and that stand off later in the program. there's just 2 days to go before russians elect their new state. duma, the country's lower house of parliament. throughout the week we'll be bringing you are a special coverage of the event on our team column break night brings you a breakdown of how the voting works. some of the core issues driving the selection

the ah, they're just a couple of days of campaigning left to go before 3 days of voting kicks off on friday. i'm sure other week we're going to be here introduce you to the parties in that race. the priorities on voters minds and also a bit more insight into rushes politics. just to clarify for you how the election works while they're fighting for there will be 450 m b from 225 and actual districts chosen to the state. do they get a 5 year term? half of them, it's 1st past the post. it's majority vote again, single mandate constituencies on the basis of one m. p. per constituency. the other 225, sent in by the parties. but i need the parties that managed to secure more than 5 percent representation and parliament that will be known come monday. no doubt were

also telling you which of the 14 parties are taking part in this election this weekend. the russian, united democratic party is more commonly known as yeah, because it's a liberal party. it's been on the slide for decades with special orders coming way back in 1909 when it took almost 6 percent of the vote. since then it's tumbled to around a 2 percent share, but it's chad told us what he expects this time around. let's just the, the balance this time we have 14 squares, but in reality there were only 2. 1 banks, the policy of let me put in the other is an alternative, 13 parties support his policy, the communists, the liberal democrats, that just russia and so on, down the list. while gambling proposes an alternative course. everyone who believe there should be political freedoms friendly and beneficial, but mutually beneficial relations with other countries. mutually respectful and peaceful relations with other countries. there are many people who won't change is ready for them, but down their own powers. this is

a bad phenomenon. people should believe in their empowers vote for the policy, they support and care for the party, his view, they share for the issues that are on voters minds. well russia of course is not immune from what many worldwide perceived as the mishandling of japan. then it by right leaning governments. so donald court has been asking whether that could boost left this groupings at the russian ballot box super profits for some abject poverty . for others, the pandemic driven a sharp wedge between the world's rich and poor, sending millions of people to the bread line. while the lead, skyrocketing profit margins carry them into space. i also want to think every amazon employee and every amazon customer, cuz you guys paid for all this ah way here to make space more accessible to all welcome to the dawn of a new space

h ah, in the u. s. paul of 18 to 34 year olds found only 49 percent of respondents had a positive view of capitalism. that's down from 58 percent when the same question was asked 2 years ago. and the ship can be seen through the 10000 new people who have joined the democratic socialists of america since march. people are really starting to just look around and say, man, capitalism isn't working. the markets can't even produce hand sanitizer the toilet paper masks during the plague. what good as the system russia also has not been immune to the rise in global wealth inequality. the countries rich have added $40000000000.00 to their collective net worth since the beginning of this year. so the russian communist party says it's going to tackle the financial gap. it's

program titled 10 steps towards people. power promises fixes through policies like nationalization of key industries and banks, as well as an overhaul of industrial investment. although some have criticized the k p r ups own relationship to russia's millionaires since the party nominated over 100 of them for its ticket to the state, duma general secretary did not use the gun of the claims that there is nothing contradictory about that. is it possible for a millionaire to be a communist? i believe it's completely possible for us all to be millionaires. if the 10000 mines that this country has created worked for every person. there would be plenty of millionaires, but they've been stolen by 15 scoundrels who don't even want to pay normal taxes. it's times like these when capitalism is not exactly doing much good for many people. that 1000000 struggling to get by start to look for alternatives. well, the socialists be able to step up to the parliamentary play. what don't mention

that socialist policies are hoping to benefit from widespread disappointments at the handling of the pandemic photos. hey, i have a choice to might be a bit confusing though. the communists of russia ought to be confused with the better no communist party have a marxist and dentist. i ology call it the people power and for building social justice. that's for that. standing the policy one a little more than 2 percent in the previous election. it's not currently got any representation in the state duma that chad told us why they did. the chums was full movement for us to do. people need 1st and foremost, free health care. i often travel to different countries and everyone says that social countries have the best health care. this is true even in cuba, which is under a strict embargo where the united states, people from all over the world go there to receive medical care. second, we need to be plaintive housing that the state can give to people for free. for the 3rd, we must provide free high quality education, if not, social will degrade towards the other end of the spectrum is the liberal, conservative civic platform that was founded by someone else with the fill in

a metal off before an internal bus stop made him quit that as the policy stands in support of the small or mid sized businesses and promote boosting domestic production to substitute import, it's chairs also civic platforms only pay in the current parliament, the party winning less than one percent last time round. in the 2016 poll, constantly, rosco takes a closer look. civic platform is one of the minor part parties, which has only one representative in the state duma currently. and of course, their political weight is relatively small, especially compared to heavy weights like the ruling united, russia or the communist party. yet the seek to again support him a one particular group of vote, voters small and mid sized entrepreneurs. and in a campaign at the head of the party already had sha houdini shots in the head of the bunker. sam with a domestically made sling shot, which reflects civic platforms, main message that russia needs

a strong economy 1st and foremost in order to thrive on the global stage. the main task is maintain our sovereignty to strengthen it. what do we need to do for that? we need a foreign policy that does not surrounded with military events, revolutions, etc. and domestically, we need to develop our markets or according to the polls, chances are low that to the platform will hit 5 percent threshold and make it into the new do more. but they can still compete for several seats in the national parliament through the constituency elections because the party is represented in the local parliaments of 8 regions in russia. has just one of the parties hoping that they will be able to see on the thoughts of one particular section of the electorate in order to boost that chances are seated out of the state. we're profiling all of them between now and that's all for miles. he's election

h q for this. our angles and correspondents here, the way through the remaining campaign days. and those report results come monday morning. the space ex will launch for tourist innerspace later today. it's the latest milestone in a technological path, stretching back more than 6 decades and few if any, hold a greater place in the history on the soviets space engineer, surrogate currently of speaks ex funder ilan most has repeatedly cited him as a key source of inspiration are ti talked to circuit court law scrum film about his recent meeting with musk although many ocean, but i really liked it. everything is in practically the same space and everyone sees the result of their work and what's happening around them. it's an enormous hanger about the size of a football field where they assemble the engines, carrier rocket, and landing module nearby. there's

a glass partition and then 4 or 5 floors of engineers offices. so they can look out onto the production area and see everything. actually, many of the engineers work remotely, even from other states. the engineers developed things in groups with like 3 of them working remotely and 2 in the space, ex office who can go down and look at everything, check and configure things, and then discuss them and make changes in the computer. and we actually put in for them was he's a fantastic person to talk to that became clear during our phone conversation, he talks a lot, listen attentively and laughs a lot. he's the same way in person. totally not arrogant, understandably, he could have behaved in a different way because of the sheer volume of his responsibilities. where scout rally and i told him is similar to sir gay cut off in his approach organizing the project. he has the same sense of purpose. many details are internally arranged as design elements. that's what must can come to you have in

common. they both believe that only a beautiful composition can fly into space. mosque knows the history of russian space exploration very well and said his corporation would not have been so successful if it had not stood on the shoulders of titans, including sewer, gay cut off the company as hall, dedicated car, silkowski, and garden, outside of my professional career i tried to promote the memory of my grandfather's, he had a difficult life and made the best of it. such an individual should be an example for future generations. what a life he had and another space related news. a russian soul is rocket, has about 34 new satellites into orbit boosting global internet coverage. it's the latest launch as part of the international web program. expanding a constellation of hundreds of communication software also and some using brief treasure rains, have buttered southern france, causing severe flooding in several areas. hundreds of homes are being damaged. at

least 2 residents as well are missing. with 23 people rescued from submerged cars. wildfires have destroyed thousands of hectares of forests near mulligan, southern spain. the flames have been fun by high winds, forcing at least 3000 people to flee their homes. authorities have launched an arson probe as the fires appear to have started in separate locations. similar tenuously wind power is coming under attack from environmental campaigners in germany. they say new turbines near berlin will put some 2000 hectares of forest of risk or europe corresponding peter oliver travel to the area in brandenburg near to the town as often campaign as fighting against the building of thousands of 200 metre high windmills. the plan would see nearly 2000 hex is

a forest at risk of being chopped down to make way the hum and who and the solar wind turbans consume a lot of resources for they production. they destroy nature. they deprived animals of the habitat and we humans are not happy either one. we have to live near them. on the angle of merkel 10 years, chancellor, germany has become one of the world's leading nations in wind energy. renewables currently generates around 40 percent of the country's electricity with over a quarter of the nation's power coming from the wind. last year. the largest energy agency in germany wants to see it become easier to build more capacity activists. supposing the plan though, say that german mindsets are to fixed when it comes to energy is global fuel. i think many people are afraid of getting labeled of being excluded from society because they have an opinion that doesn't correspond to the mainstream. if we look around the world, we see that other countries are teaching us how to do it. nuclear power plants,

coal fired power plants, gas fired power plants are all being built. nobody try to change their mind because they are afraid that others will reject them in the end. that's not an opinion. it's popular on the german election campaign trail. green party candidate for chancellor underlined, a bare bulk wants to see 2 percent of all london the country made available to wind farms. current front runner to be chancellor oil f. sholtes of the social democrats is broadly in favor and dying. a potential coalition with the greens of the real contenders only conservative almond lasha has been moderate when it comes to pushing climate goals. he's also tanked in the polls. i don't know if it was ever possible for you, mrs. barbara, to stand in front of a 1000 miners and say to them, you are going into early retirement. your plans will be closed. that's the social part that you have to think about when you have such big goals. while the cd you candidate for chancellor says his rivals putting green politics ahead of realities

like jobs campaign, as he is a dream politics of being pushed ahead. the actual environment itself. they all use climate protection as a cover and don't realize that wind turbans don't say if a single van of c o 2 nature must be protected. following b fukushima disaster in japan, uncle merkel announced that germany's nuclear power would be phased out. as it stands, the last nuclear plant to close next year. cold power is also set to be closed down by 2038. as a matter of officially, america will certainly be remembered for her climate policy when we think of her withdrawal from nuclear energy after fukushima. but i think she will be very negatively associated with these policies. no one will forgive her for this decision if it results in failure for germany. we can't produce energy that is 3 times as expensive as in the rest of the world and pretend that we are saving the world. germany share of manmade c o 2 emissions is 0.4 percent in relation to the

rest of the world. as germany moves away from nuclear and co, they have to find solutions to provide the energy that is needed. but us politicians push green energy proposals that going to bump heads with people who aren't so willing to change at any cost. peter, all of a r t branded bird germany. it or wrapping up the bulletin this hour. but more great programs get there are start in moments here in r t stay close to discover watson off or wherever you are today. bye for night. oh, the join me every thursday. i'm alex simon short. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or

obese. it's possible to sell food that is fatty and sugary and faulty and addicted . not at the individual level, it's not individual willpower. and if we go on believing that will never change as obesity epidemic, that industry has been influencing very deeply. the medical and scientific establishment, ah, what's driving the reasons for them if it's corporate, me by phone business, you can't afford to mess. i'm rachel lava and i'm friendship or in washington coming up the pavement, which in place in the united states is eating. but it's not out of the woods quite yet, straight ahead. we bring you the latest figures and what they mean for the state of the economy. plus we're going to take a.
