to russia, i'm probably the worst time to go anywhere. why not mean? what if i come here? i the hello and welcome to coverage of the 2021 russian date, due elections from all rooftop studio that overlooks the kremlin. where will be bringing your guest analysis on the builder to 3 days and those millions of russians you get to choose a breast russian parliament. we will be profiling the policies for luke alexis. so last and look forward to 1st find out what making headlines today around the world. and we saw it breaking news sour because the british prime minister boris johnson has begun that much anticipated shakeup of his cabinet. with

the biggest change in dominic, rob shifted from his job already natural gas prices to an old record in europe. they now standard $964.00 per 1000 cubic meters, and they are rising by the hour, sparking phase a wind energy crisis. so the us stick to state is admitted. he's got absolutely no idea who was killed in a drug strike that occurred enough to understand last month. you know, full assessment will the will before you don't know if it was an aide worker or an isis k operative. i can't speak to that. i can't speak to that in the setting in any that so you don't know or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know because we're reviewing the race. he dumped the seats and rushes parliament with the election. now just days that way we'll be giving you the full breakdown, especially coverage this alex, i'm right throughout the week. ah

. so here it is high enough to be scary, our election rooftop studio, right in the harder most from where we will be following the campaign trail that leads to the lower house of russia's parliament. not analysis coming up here in just a few minutes 1st. so let's take a quick look at new stories that they're making. today's headlines. and we'll start with breaking news because it's all change of the heart of the british government. after prime minister boris johnson carried out a cabinet ratio for a shake of has long been expected education sector has been sacked. the foreign secretary has been moved to the justice department with more details on the shake up is easily quite dramatic. re shuffled by borrowers johnson, the british prime minister, and the most notable perhaps of those re, shuffles is dominick rob, who of course is will was, should i say the foreign secretary, he's been demoted?

and now dominic rob is the minister who was presiding or supposed to be presiding over the case strategic withdrawal from afghanistan with anything bob. cale tv thought, couple, airport last month. while all of that was going on in the color by my bonds in on couple. so many grub was on holiday and didn't return to his post a decision which brought him great criticism and a lot of pressure on bar something to get rid of him. and he is essentially been demoted to a lower position within the cabin to the pine. the situation in afghanistan was really heating up. the criticism was coming in from dominic rob from all corners of the political world. i think it's important for us to be what we're doing and where you are doing it from. when did you go and holding me through? i'm not looking to brush vicky over this. i just want to know when you went things . when did you live with the facts on the surface, this looks like

a family of planning on, on grunz scale. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? went to perspective. i'm not sure i'd have to check if you would like to know the busiest, very happy back to 3rd grade. what seems particularly random because high come us was recently and is better still ranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be around the work screen effectively from germany and terms of your own leadership in your own actions pop until this point did you ever at any point consider offer to reside. now i consider getting home with the job. rob here still quite an important character, important figure within the cabinet. he's the deputy prime minister. busy the law chancellor and the justice secretary, so i move for him, but others perhaps haven't been as lucky. williamson well, that bucklin and general alphabet division. but the chancellor richie said that he

remained interestingly busy to tell who is the home secretary. she was still too claims on her job to spite chris and yet again of her holding meetings with businessman and breaking the ministerial code. all of those obligations, not enough to bring pressure on board. so we get rid of her just yet on the on the news now that will be of interest possibly concern for many people in europe because prices for natural gas, they're of it in all time. reco, currently at $964.00 per 1000 cubic meters might not mean much to you, but i want to tell you is a 20 percent increase just from yesterday. then you'll understand the concern, not prices rising by the hour. it's lining up, in fact, a triple threat, just as when to demand is about to kick in. as the surging wholesale prices coincide with lower level, the stored gas, and the specter of rising fuel poverty. so the dubious sky has the story. whether

it costs, if you report that cost is expected. so people may have used more energy during the summer months also locked down the costs. you could have impacted the amount. 1 of energy people use at home. we also know that they've been a problem with wind energy. low winds have not been able to create enough energy just to top up the deficits. and we know that you are paying companies have been tough competition over gas supplies with asian companies. all of it has seen that the energy tank reduced to water should be pre pandemic capacity was around 84 percent. it's currently standing all way down with 71 percent. all of it comes as you continue to all over the you think gas supply from russia, as you may be aware, the stream to pipeline construction project completed last week and gas from the russian company has said it is ready to supply you with. it's just

a deficit immediately. it's ready to step up to the plate and do that. however, for the happen the, you have to to find that pipeline, they'll never suggestions of that could take some before that's ready to happen. we knew that some countries in europe already trying to take emergency measures to deal with thought crisis that there are interest to pay things over the winter months just around the corner. and this really could be the start of another crisis . fuel poverty is something the find some things that need householders, to a pension or low income. you often have to make a particularly tough decision. do they have to stay warm for themselves, their families, their children? or do they use heating supplies to make food? it's an incredibly difficult position that many people have to take every year.

some figures from the european commission suggests that they're all between 15000000 and a 125000000 people across europe who are currently in a few call for the having to make those decisions every year. so the that once again, we could see prices increase. now the historic prices really will bring a lot of fear to those families who have been badly struggling to fall like europe as it had been 2 winters facing these few crisis. we know that the question is now what other governments do and how will be european union react to that? a critical shortage of wind power is also raising questions about an over reliance on renewable energy. a former student, foreign minister told is a broad energy mix is a safer approach. the fact that the wind is blowing and that the sun is

shining less blood, that's because inventory, so very low. all that, all together. great stuff. mix that on the one hand, led to the increase in power prices. kinetic tricity prices of causal, natural gas prices. and on the other hand, as although the permanent lessons risk of power electricity, we have tremendous rise. it's only twice for 40 percent of the poland digging of $4050.00 prevents. so this effect of countries other countries which for instance have an tricity based on nuclear like in france. i'm currently living the situation is different that might not be such a price rise, but we really have to look at it from countries to countries. and again, in my, i, it's not only about friday thrive. the real problem for many countries, in particular, in germany,

where we already have several situations of soft, crappy and near power cut in lot in certain regions. this is a tremendous problem. the sand wind power is also coming under time from environmental campaign. as in germany, they say new turbines, new berlin will put some 2000 hector as a forest risk to other explains in brandenburg near to the town. as often campaign as of 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 when 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 tries to change their mind because they are afraid that others will reject them in the end. that's not an opinion that's popular on the german election campaign trail. green party candidate for chancellor underlined a bad bulk wants to see 2 percent of all london the country made available to wind

farms. current front runner to be chancellor oil app 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. bare bark 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 green politics of being pushed ahead of 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 angle 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 and 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 man made 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 brand above germany. now, another news,

the u. s. secretary state claims that he simply doesn't know who sits in a recent american drug strike enough gun. this done. antony blink who was being drove for a 2nd consecutive day in the senate over that attack which killed 10 civilians just to the west. the military pullout seas correspondence in cobbler run and gas via has not what we much bear in mind, the highly partisan nature of american politics is what is the fact that ultimately may be very difficult about it can be defensive. the final weeks of us present here, we're going to be the evacuation, which, you know, many people see is, is but k arctic, as well as humiliate, will the united states look, we will, we will here. we will put that on the fly, 2 weeks to get a b evacuation. we remember that the terror attacks that put everyone on it, the fear here, the anticipation that there could be more terror attack,

reputed drones, buzzing endlessly. and this guy's over capital again, watching for any potential threat to the apple. and in this case, given what we have learned, given the surveillance footage that was released, it may well be the instance of h e, trigger fingers of troops on the edge already fearing for their lives as well as the drone operators. the generals are watching this, commanding this evacuation of the big, fearful, about pulling the trigger too quickly. the guy, the binding ministration drone was he and a worker or an isis k operative. the administration is, of course, reviewing that, that strike. and i'm sure that a full assessment will be, will be for you don't know if it was in a worker or an ices k operative. i can't speak to that and i can't speak to that in the setting in any event. so you know, no or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know,

because we're doing, we'll see you think you'd kinda know before you're off, somebody with a predator. drones, many people could see this valence. what is it with published in the media reported to show in the area of the drone strike? immediately before it took place, showing a man losing empty canvas this into a comp time. this is a lapse may have been mistook by the drone over it is by offers is on the ground as filled with explosives. look the speculation immediately after about the room strike the perhaps. there was a wrong turn of events because we've seen what, what a top on the destruction it causes a chair which will event packed with explosives. take down the 5 story building get here. we saw a mangled car yet the more that it was next to was relatively a touch, which would it be impossible if the car would be even hot sealed with explosives

that of course we learned about that. the civilian casualties, collateral casualties. a child 1st that was revised the 6 children who is it'll be very difficult to account for these incidents for this, for this group strike that from what we've seen from the hearings at the blink, the state department and the by the administration completely prepared to do so, and the thing is, is there is blow back to that. i mean, i don't know if it's true, but i see these pictures of these beautiful children that were killed in the attack . if that's true and not propaganda, if that's true, guess what? maybe you've created hundreds or thousands of new potential terrorists from bombing the wrong people, given the general sense that many believe the afghan mission sale that it was 20 years of a of a few tal occupation. and given the fact that many republicans have, he's on this opportunity, many of the families of those through us students killed on the 26th of august in

that terror attack on the north gave the capital airport as well as the relatives of thousands of american troops injured and killed over the war. and if get this done, it is unlikely that they will lead up the biden administration anytime soon unless it offers and provides accountability for what happened in the final weeks of american present year. and i've got to start i guess we have their reporting from car, but let's get back to our breaking news store this our, which is that cabinet reshuffle has happened to anticipate it in the u. k. the international trade secretary and this trust is replacing dominant rob the foreign office and he has been moved to the justice department. let's get some reaction to this now. from a former home of his minister, no one baker had kindly joined me this evening to speak to norman. now, as i said,

the racial was expected. has it gone down how you would have anticipated the surprise? and changes was clearly sensible that govern williams has been rooted education secretary, he was completely useless and it's also wrong. the doubling rabbit john from the foreign office given the failure i think, to deal with, against on any sensible and effective way. however, the trouble is we've, we've had a capital of the inadequate, at the moment because that does concern the party has refused to have people in the capital or on staff who don't believe impressions and eliminates a whole range of people who are quite challenges. and therefore, we've had people who been up a logical reasons rather than because they're really good at the jo. so we'll see what happens. but i don't think rob coach remains the deputy prime minister to that kind of reward or failure. like, i don't think this is particularly effective in certain sacrifice. second grade, i hate to not, or secretary,

i'm disappointed nobody. mobile bucklin has gone smoke just because he was actually one of the best members of the cabinet. but it's supposed to reflect on the process started hours ago. we just got very far which suggest to me that there's a whole lot of people resistance to move the primary most today. but they can you said that at some ministers chosen for audiological reasons and would interpret that as simply a case of as a loyal is not a part of a problem with the system that off the ministers are appointed without even having a specialist background qualifications for a particular position, another order due to fail? well, no, i think people can come into the job and most people are specialists in the 2 points. the can't be really, i mean, a few cases mean what i was was supposed to transport minister, you about transport, but i was moved to the home office which you much about. so this is quite common

for people to put in position. so they're not experts, and the question is all the book learning quickly and simulate you most of the details and i'm afraid in some cases, that's not the case with the government. you know, you can have people who are loyal in the government. the dispatcher, re loyal, they don't have to agree on policy. i don't think it old cases of previous prime ministers. you've had a broad range of opinion around the cabinet table. that's actually quite important under trees and maybe sample debbie camry with people who are favor leaving your in your when you play or, or, and go by the way becomes the people who are like re, new people who are most interested. so you're good at the danger, the moment, not only have the people who are trying to medications on the job, but also probably very narrow stretches. the police breaks it there for audiological reasons and that's not good for government.

you said some people on up to the job and i think you began by being quite critical of dominic rob. why does somebody like rob get transferred to another position again? i'm not sure if he's going to college stations enough and not background. you say it's possible to pick it up. he didn't pick up his last year very well. why should he be given another chance? well, that's a good question. i'm going to dominate, rob, but i mean, if you didn't want to have to ask whether it was a cabinet minister, i don't think certainly he does. and i think that the justice department and the child was just depended upon. it was a legal aid. all the codes will take probably to having a failure from the foreign office, which is what the price is clearly is going to because you know, i'm actually probably just wants to move in the foreign office. robert sent them out if there's something in return and you got it. so that's that's, that's the kind of host it goes on when, when the recycle take place. horse

trading list. perfect phrase. i think we'll end that much appreciate your time. my guess no. make a formal home of the minister that you're watching. i'll take still to come for you will be launching into russian parliamentary elections, special coverage, the race puts up for seats in the state. they don't miss any of that coverage. so after this short break, i or x markets, the thing food shortage in and what's been claim, you don't need it for the market. that's the plain and simple truth and country after countries beginning to realize that going to scape the b matrix of 4 and dominated by current players who control us dollar. and they can have sovereignty.

true sovereignty. if you have our lives on the us dollar, you do not have sovereignty both hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares think we dare to ask me the

ah, the side. welcome back to moscow. he's raised the money to bill harris, todd no to bring you are in debt coverage of the elections to the countries that are doing that. so voting is to be held over 3 days running from friday to sunday and throughout the week are introducing you to the different parties in that race and giving you an insight into the world of russian politics. so let's clarify just how the selection will be working. now. the 450 piece from 225 electro districts chosen to the state duma. they'll be there for a 5 year term. half of them elected by majority voting. that's based on one member of parliament for constituency. the remaining 225. they are made up by parties that have more than 5 percent representation in the parliament. so lucas stuck into

those 14 parties. so i'm hoping the voters will be putting a tick in their box. so now for the russian party of freedom and justice is among the socialist parties who are involved on his pledging to build a society of this based on social justice and equality sounds, fair. price for education and health care. the 1st time though this party is involved in the election and the chair told us why they deserve people's lives. we sent for civil rights and freedoms, including people's rights to teach in their own languages and really practice their religion. and we aim to create a social state. we did not have the goal of establishing a left wing party. we are abroad civil movement, and this is what makes us unique. there is no time to divide people into left and right. we need to call each of citizens can challenge the criminal and bureaucratic system was the way. okay, let's go to arthur. curtis wanted to use don off for he's the money is all about

all of these parties fighting for the 1st thing that strikes me or is it because it's the 1st on the russian party of freedom and justice is involved in an election starting from scratch, all nice because it's gonna be hard for them to, to build up a vote if i said quickly how they are going, hoping to appeal to them. well, neil, indeed it is one of the younger policies on the russian political landscape. it used to have the word communism in their name, but they rebranded themselves still though their policies, they gravitate toward socialism. well, a lot there. in fact, their program is built around the idea of well creating a socialist state out of russia. here's how the leader of this party described his intentions. why my aim is to develop the people as a political nation, rely on national consciousness. all mother and countries rely on that. we need people to realize their responsibility for their lives and for their fate. the

formation of a civil political nation is our main goal. without this, russia will be just a colony that is used to serve other people's interests. every year, rushes population decreases by emilio, the health care system has essentially been destroyed. it exists only for the well off. to rectify these, we need a clear government funding plan. there should be a decent level of support below which the state has no right to fault. they should be laid down in the constitution. there can be no commercial health care system in russia today. we cannot the chief results at the legislative level because we are in the minority. our goal is to appeal to the hearts and minds of we have to leave in dignity. we have to be a free people without being afraid of anyone. so they may be saying that there is no point in dividing parties to left right center. but still they are an incredibly left leaning party. again, they want to create a socialist state of prussia. they are advocating for free health care,

and i just saw 3 health care and education, which russia already has, but they want to expand to the just how free it is and to reduce to drive, to a minimum, the amount of paid institutions in these fears. now, it is also one of the somewhat dwarf parties of russia, but they are wanting, they want to change that and dwell to become, to get the 1st representative in the russian parliament. much appreciated the ag bring is all the in depth knowledge about that part of you could be educating is on all the participant political parties throughout the week . well, let's take a look at another party taking and be involved in this election, who you will know pretty well. i would say they are among the left rear parties, the most popular, this is the communists. so the company is part of the russian federation is the 2nd

largest party in russia, led by canada is a gun of old time leader since the 990 s. this is the biggest and oldest of russian communist parties. it's pledge to deliver modernized, version of socialism, and see can only program includes the nationalization of the country's natural resources and also a strong support for small businesses. previous election was the 4th time in a row that this party finished in 2nd place. we spoke to the leader about the gulf medium. it is necessary to increase the living wage to $25000.00 roubles. it is fundamentally important for us to support public enterprises. they all have a high salary to not take anything from the state, have a great social care package, affordable education, health care, and everyone has a cool job. everyone is provided with housing experiences extended to the whole country. it's not difficult. every 2nd person will have.
