[000:00:00;00] the the, the ah, good evening, i'm welcome to on coverage of the 2021 russian state tumor elections from our rooftop studio overlooking red square and traveling from here will be bringing your guest analysis on the to 3 days this time the voting. millions of russians will get to choose who they want,

representing them in parliament. lee will be profiling. the policies for you will be hearing from the political lexus law sort of forward to 1st. let's find out what's been making today's news headlines around the world. first, the british foreign minister bars jones's big not much anticipated shake of his cabinet with the biggest change. think dominic ra shifted from his job. it's called spectrum. natural gas prices, a search to an old time record in europe. they now stand 964 dollars to 1000 cubic meters. worryingly the price is rising by the hour and it's sparking fears of a wind to energy prices. elsewhere, the us sex estate has admitted. he's got no idea who was killed in a drug strike enough janice done last month. you know, full assessment will be will before 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 don't know or won't tell us. i don't,

i don't know because and the race haines up the seas and rushes paul and the election just days away will be getting the full breakdown in our special coverage this hour and throughout the week. ah . so here it is. this is our election, rooftop speedo. let's good during the day spectacular. at night, we're right in the heart of moscow. this is we'll be following the campaign trail at least to the lower house of russia's parliament. that's all coming up for you to stay with just a few minutes time we'll be getting into that in debt. let's 1st so take a quick look at new stories, making today's headlines because it's all change of the heart of the british government. the prime minister boris johnson carried out that anticipated cabinet racial for long expected the education secretary though has been such a rep that wasn't expected. and the foreign secretary has been moved to the justice

department for more details on the shake of is all, it is quite dramatic. re shuffle the bible, son from the british prime minister, and the most notable perhaps of those re, shuffles is dominick rob, who of course is well 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. that was anything but so those cale 2 teams, we thought couple airport last month. while all of that was going on in the taliban were advancing on couple dominate. rob was on holiday and didn't return to his post a decision which brought him great criticism and a lot of pressure on bar jobs and to get rid of him. and he has essentially been demoted to a lower position within the cabinet at the time that the situation in afghanistan

was really heating up. criticism was coming in for dominic rob from corners of the political world. it's important for us to move what we're doing and what are you doing for when do people holding me through? i'm not looking to brush vicky over this. i just want to know when you went things . when did you, when the facts on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on, on grunz. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? went through. i'm not sure how to check if you would like to know the busiest, where we have to come back to 3rd grade. what seems to take the reading because high come us was recently and is that just on the ranging evacuation of german people through tashkent. and it seems to be a room to work streaming effectively from germany in terms of your own leadership, in your own actions. up until this point, did you ever, at any point, consider an 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 that move for him, but others haven't been as lucky. williamson well, that bucklin and robert generate that all out of positions. but the chancellor richie so that he remains out. interestingly pretty to tell who is the home secretary, she still 2 claims on her job despite christian. 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 get rid of her just yet now we've reached that time of year when a lot of people start to worry about how much will they need to budget for the winter heating expenses. and this cause for concern because prices for natural gas in europe. if it an old time rec court, currently at $964.00 per 1000 cubic meters non represents

a 20 percent increase just from yesterday. and the price is still going up. and this is lining up a triple thresh, just as winter demands are about to kick in there a surging wholesale prices coinciding with lower levels of stored gas and the suspect of rising fuel poverty, charlotte dubious k, has no way to talk to you. report process is expected, so people may have used more energy during the summer months also locked down the course. europe could have impacted the amount. 1 of energy people use at home. we also know that they've seen a problem with wind energy. low winds have not been able to create enough energy 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 free. pandemic capacity was around

84 percent. it's currently standing way down 71 percent. all of it's called and you continue to argue over the, you think gas supply from russia. as you may be aware, the move stream to pipeline construction project completed last week and gas from a russian company who 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, you have to certify that pipeline. they'll never suggestions 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 they were in terms of painting over the winter months just around the corner. and this really could be the sort of another crisis fuel poverty is something that find some things that need householders to a pension or low income. you often have to make

a particularly tough decisions. do they have to stay warm for themselves, their families, the 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 paul for the happens to make those decisions every year. so the idea that once again, we keep the prices increase, now leave historic prices really will bring a lot of fear to those families to be fairly struggling to fall life. europe, as it had seemed to interest facing, is few crisis. we know that the question is now what other governments do

and how will the european union react to that? and a critical shortage of wind power is also raising questions about an over reliance on renewable energy. a former student, foreign minister told us a broad energy mix is a safer approach. the fact that the wind is blowing and that the sun is shining less blocks, that big gust 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 course, also natural gas prices. and on the other hand, as although the permanent lessons risk of power cuts, electricity, we have tremendous rise. it's really trying to put all the pole and taking a 4050 percent. so this effect of countries, other countries, which for instance have an tricity based on nuclear like in front of the

current living. the situation is different now 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 and it's about friday thrive. the real problem for many countries, in particular, in germany, where we already have several of the creation of soft, crappy and near power cut in not in certain regions. this is a tremendous problem. another news, the u. s. secretary state claims he simply doesn't know who sits in the recent american drug strike enough. countess done. anthony blink and was being grilled for a 2nd straight day in the senate over the attack that killed 10 civilians. remember the time us officials said they've been no civilian casualties. this was just prior

to the western military pull out the voting from campbell. his run get the if we much bear in mind the highly positive nature of american politics is what is the fact that ultimately may be very difficult to about. it can be defensive. the final weeks of us present here and i'm going to stop the evacuation, which you know, many people see as as, but k arctic as well as humiliate will the united states look we were, we were here. we were put on the final weeks again of the 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, passing endlessly. and the skies over travel again, watching for any potential threat to the apple. and in this case, given what we have learned, given the valence footage that was released, it may well be the instance of

a trigger. fingers of troops on the edge already fearing for the life as well as the drone operators. the generals of watching this commodity, this evacuation of the big, fearful about pulling the trigger too quickly. the guy, the biden administration droned, was he an aide worker or an ices 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 an aide 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 don't know or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know because we're reviewing. we'll see you think you'd kinda know before you're off, somebody with a predator drone. what many people see this valence book as it was published in the media reported to show in the area of the drone strike immediately before it took place, showing a man looting empty cad us this into a comp time. this is

a lapse may have been mistook by the drone or where it is by offers is on the ground as filled with explosives. 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 cherry which will event packed with explosives. take down a 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 half sealed with explosives that of course we learned about 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 true strike of what we've seen from the hearings at the blink,

the state department and the by the administration compl 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 created hundreds or thousands of new potential terrorist 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 here on this opportunity, many of the families of those troops, us troops killed the 26th of august in that terror attack on the north day. the capital airport, as well as the relatives of thousands of american troops injured and killed over the war and get this done. it is unlikely that they will lead up the biden administration anytime soon unless it offers also provides accountability

for what happened in the final weeks of american present year. and they've got to start. oh, okay. if you just joined, isn't wondering where you are. this is r t say a while, because a little the launching into russian parliamentary elections, especially coverage. the race is holding up for seats in the state. and it's coming up after this short ah, ah, ah,

ah, ah, i use 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 the, the news.

the news, welcome back to the hospital, go to the beautiful side and this is our rooftop studio where we're going to bring you in depth coverage of the election of the russia state data. that's the country's low house, parliament voting list on this to be held over 3 days from friday to sunday. and throughout the week will be introducing you to the different parties in the rice and giving you an insight into the whole world of russian politics. so let's clarify 1st, how does the election work well, that will be $450.00 piece from $225.00 electoral districts. they'll be chosen to the state duma for a 5 year term. half of them elected by majority voting. the system. most people use they based on $1.00 and pay per constituency. the remaining 225. they're made up by parties that have more than 5 percent representation in parliament. so let's

continue now with all deep dive into the 14 parties who are running for the state duma and take a look at those with an environmental agenda. it's got to be in the green to promote conservation of nature initiated the party itself. and you, chairman, is continuing its posting idol, those who care about ecology and russia, began as a social movement back in 1993, seeking a so called green revolution. the policy went a little less than one percent of the vote. in the 2016 elections is how the parties new chairman set out his store for this year ballot. we're not in a position party or a central party. want our agenda for using on the environment to be represented in the duma. so we can pass laws, the citizens and country need every person, no matter where they live, has their own environmental issue, have their own environmental history. ok, that was short and sweet, just inside. let's find out more about the policy now. formalities eager is donna

who's providing is an in depth look at each of the party. you know, there wasn't a huge amount of support for the greens in the last election, but times have changed sound. i had an awful lot of talk about global warming over the last few years. maybe that will have an impact house the, the party hoping to win vote is over in great numbers this time. well nailed, indeed, probably the raise a change in the hearts of minds of people who have become more environmentally conscious in the past couple of years like for example, sorting, sorting to garbage and so on and so forth, recycling and all of that. and of course, this would be something that the greens would pin their hopes to that people have indeed become more conscious in this sense of the, in this sense of the word and that they will back them and back their initiatives. again, they are stressing that they're not strictly speaking and opposition party. what that means is that they are supporting the current geopolitical course of russia, but they want to see

a they want to see more spotlight on the environmental agenda on the green and gen after all, the other greens and it is a universal concept, a universal political concept of course. so he is how the party chairman described and talked about the key builds that they're planning to introduce. if of course they get enough public support you will have about 10 legislative proposals dedicated to that. the 1st focus is on organic agriculture. we want to support our farmers, so they could stop using come food, chemicals, and that's very important. then we think it's important to impose greater finds and allow for other forms of legal action to make sure business owners and shareholders act responsibly. so again, everything from encouraging recycling to will turn as of energy sources in russia and well bolstering their presence here to even the supporting and backing the

russian science. and encouraging them to well to, to focus their research on more on a more environmental agenda. so to speak. now again, russia recently did pass a law that encourages companies to be more green and even there was them with so called green points, that they will be able to cash out. so we'll see if this course, if this well, the federal course and discover mental course helps the greens with their agenda and with their cause. well, at the election, we just on a profiling the green party there for as many things. let's stay with this and to show away, because up next is the current majority party and the election favorite centers to conservative united russia is considered the de facto ruling parties. also the largest party in the country. the chairman is the former prime minister of russia to meet your mid vote if the party bulls, the program of the president, and among his goals is strengthening russia. sovereignty is economic program

includes support for domestic industry that includes high tech businesses. he's not here. russia, the cur, majority party, it took more than half of the votes in the previous election. will it be able to hang on to the majority? katrinka looks at what the new ballot could mean. they are the ruling party. they are the favorites. always pretty much they are the party which 5 years ago, set a record by winning 344 seats out of 450. but how well united russia fair in this year's election, at some point, any long standing champion in leave faces a career way 2 months before the vote support for the party dropped to 27 percent. it didn't get that low in 13 years, many have called. busy it a crisis of trust. it required swift, daring, sometimes surprise moves, party leader dmitri mit vet, it was removed as one of its top 5 candidates. the light up is now

a mix of political behemoths, who enjoy huge public support and new names who won the people's respect. like the country's leading coven, dr. ah, [000:00:00;00] the a recent opinion poll showed 95 percent of those questioned recognized rushes minister of defense survey showing you. so if counting on how familiar the most important faces of the party are, was part of the plan. the tactic is beginning to work. a lot of our food, though, isn't on the list and isn't even a member of united russia officially, but the president has long been associated with the party and even let it for

a while. in the past, he's been talking of the immense responsibility that united russia has to bear as the ruling party. you sure. i want to reiterate my position. it is one thing to write something that is rights and important and toward beautifully. and it is another thing to implemented you and i are aware that the ruling political party is responsible for everything and all the country's problems. that's what you have acted responsibly so far. and the program has turned out to be quite feasible. united russia proudly call. busy that manifesto the people's program, it was put together after considering online suggestions from $2000000.00 russian citizens. the main goal is to boost the public squad of life with special attention to healing the direct and indirect effect of the pandemic. ah,

so like i said, united russia isn't going to the easiest of times serious blows to the parties. reputation have included criminal charges. and in some cases, jail terms for mayor's governor's cabinet ministers even who had to be kicked out of united russia for fraud and corruption. in some cases lately, however, the party was left red faced because some of its senior members simply forgot about decent matters scenes more reminiscent of a dog owner playing with his boot. where certainly unseemly for a governor given the keys from new fire trucks to a brigade. well, soon after that the official lost his job party membership and definitely lost united russia support in his region. but it still remains the most popular political force in the country. yes,

it's keen to take advantage of the experience and trust behind some old school. big names like mr. lab, rob and mr. shaw group. but on like a stagnating bureaucracy, the party is ready to count on fresh faces. it's ready for reform and it's trying to get as many russians as possible involved in its decisions using contemporary online methods. the rob set up from our election headquarters for this. our rest assured rank is and correspondence. they're going to be right away through the room and campaign days through the voting and here to bring you, there's all important results on monday morning for us. it's from may, thanks for watching. i'll be back with all next to global news update and off they do me election, special and just call and our son live for moscow. this is our scene to national.

ah, the ah, ah, is the biden presidency in terminal decline this administration handling of the cobra pandemic? the economy and not least, afghanistan sees this president underwater in the polls. and a big way in the country today is just as divided as from tennis. president, things around me that the civic leg around the world, expedition by 1000 ocean miles round the clock and the dead. com possible, as we been,

every country close by like the crew, gavin's food and water harbor, and to go to chat for a show. the bloom on the little thing is got everybody locked down or almost no food, no more than that. only give them up to somebody either stuck up in the coated ear, living like the semen of own, but in the 21st century. when i was shot, the wrong one, i'll just don't the world to fill out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail when so

many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in this is been by someone business show you can't afford to mess, i'm rachel bluff, and i'm friendship or in washington coming up the pavement, which in place of the united states is easy, 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 you back to the crypto currency sector, where light coin jumped on a fake report that wal mart would begin accepting the all point. we discussed the con and how the hype can drive market. then for the 1st time in 60 years of human space flight, a rocket is set to launch the orbit with only civilians on board. we'll take a look at what space has planned for is historic information for a launch. we have

a package here today, so let's get started. the are we leave the program with a bit of a room in the world of crypto currency? lloyd light coin is coming under heavy scrutiny tuesday after what appears to be a pump and dump scheme. light coins, priced jump, 25 percent on monday after news really stated that wal mart would begin accepting the crypto currency. the price sword from $174.00 to $232.00. the only problem the release was a fake. joining us now to break it all down is food by co host and crypto analyst bents want. now ben, this is just a crazy story when we fell, report monday morning that wal mart was going to accept light guard with that. and that's a big deal. so how did it all big press release actually dupe so many people?
