the join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me the world. good evening and welcome to the coverage of the 2021 russian state, doom or election, rooftop studio that overlooks the coming. you can see it all in it. even blend of yourselves right now, we're going to be here to bring the guests in analysis and all the build up to 3 days or both. millions of russia will be getting to choose who they want representing them in the countries and you'll be with this route. it always will profile the parties. we have and little experts get the analysis last to look

forward to. i saw though with a quick note that was making today's global need headline and plenty to bring you the british prime minister bars johnson regarding a much anticipated shake up of these cabinets, the biggest dominic rob shifting from his job as far as that natural gas prices have search through it and all time record high in europe founded $964.20 cubic. needed that price, the rising body, alex and his sparking fears of a wind energy crisis. another use the u. s. tech to state admit, he has no idea who was killed in a drug strike enough gun. this done last you know, full assessment will be will before you don't know if it was in a worker or an ice is a 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 doing it just right up for the think the rush is part of

the election now just days away will give you the full breakdown off special covers this hour throughout the week. ah oh, so here it is. it's our election, rooftop skita is where it will be cooling home for the next few days until monday we are in the heart of moscow as we follow the campaign trail that leads to the lower house of russia's parliament. we'll be talking a little about that in just a few minutes. first, look at the news stories making the headlines this our tool change. the heart of the british government of the prime minister boris johnson carried out a cabinet re shuffled. the shaker was long expected, and in it the education sector has gone sacked. the foreign secretary been moved to justice. more details on the shake of his he, sally, 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 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. that was anything but for those tail to tv thought, couple airport last month. while all of that was going on and taliban were bonds and 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 is essentially been demoted to a lower position within the cabinet at the time that the situation in afghanistan was really heating up. the criticism was coming in for dominic rob from all corners of the political world. i think it's important question, what we're doing and what are you doing for when did you go and holding me through

. i'm not looking to brush over this. i just wanted to know when you went things. when did you know when the facts on the surface this looks like a family of planning on, on the grunge scale. when was the last time a foreign minister went to a 2nd stop? i'm not sure i'd have to check if you'd like to know the busiest, very have to come back to 3rd grade, but seems particularly random because high come us was recently and is better start arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a route that works really effectively from germany in terms of your own leadership, in your own actions. up 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 robert generate the alphabet division. but the chancellor richie so that he remained interestingly pretty to tell who is the home secretary. she was still 2 claims on her job despite christmas. and yet again, of her holding meetings with businessman and breaking the ministerial code, all of those allegations, not enough to bring pressure on board. so we get rid of her just yet on their lives . and many other well, it's clearly sensible that govern williams has been rooted education secretary, he was completely useless and it's also run the dublin rob is gone from the foreign office, given the failure, i think, to deal with the dentist on any sensible and effective way. however, the trouble is we've, we've had a capital of the inadequate, it's at the moment because the conservative 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. johnson, as a prime minister that was punish, we've had a living memory and therefore we've had people who been audiological reasons rather than because they're any good at the job. so we'll see what happens, but don't make radical main deputy prime minister to that kind of reward or failure like will be pleased that we've seen the back of government. williamson has been a particularly useless education. secretary, i don't think those have consulted foreign affairs. recognize that dominant robin didn't perform well in terms of again this time. and i will welcome his and few removed though. i'm not particularly hopeful that the final outcome of this re shop will be very much better than we've had talked before. we put it for challenge positions as a home secretary, she in my view is just always missed a process and nobody johnson sort of image which i believe book one,

but one say many chances are in place and the chancellor is probably the one member the government with some credibility prices for natural gas in europe, if it in all time rank called high currently 964 dollars to 1000 cubic meters. just to make that bit more understandable for you. it's a 20 percent increase just from yesterday and the price is still going up by the hour. it's lining up a triple threat just as when to demands about to kick in as the surging wholesale prices coincide with lower levels of stored gas and the spec to rising fuel poverty, charlotte dubious case place where the cost of you reports and forces was expected . so people may have used more energy during the summer months. also lockdown across europe, could have impacted the amount 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 to

sort of 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 seem to be energy tank reduced to water should be free. pandemic capacity was around 84 percent. it's currently standing way down. 71 percent. all of us come visit you. you continue to all over the eyes. you think gas supply from russia, as you may be aware, the 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. mean, 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 there are incense a painting over the wind, 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 is or low income. you often have to make a particularly tough decision. do they have the home to stay warm for themselves, their families, the children, or do they use heating supplies? she make room 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 holes that happens to make those decisions every year. so the idea that once again, we could the prices increase now leave historic price, it really will bring

a lot of fear to those families who fatty struggling to fall life. europe as it has been to winters facing this few crisis. we know that the question is now what other governments do and how will be european union react and on top of that, a critical shortage of wind power is also creating questions about an over reliance on renewable energy. a former, often 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 the guts inventory, so very low. all that, all together. great stuff mixed that on the one hand led to the increase in power prices and that tricity price. and of course, also natural gas prices. and on the other hand,

as although the permanent lessons risk of power electricity, we definitely have tremendous rise. it's only flying from 40 percent of the poland, speaking of 4050 percent. so this effect of countries, other countries, which for instance have electricity based on nuclear like in france, i'm currently living situation different that might not be such a price rise, but we really have to look at it from country to countries. and again, in my eyes, it's not only 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 lot in certain regions. this is a tremendous problem. turning to other news now the

us sectors stake claims that he doesn't know who was hit in a recent american drug strike enough canister. anthony blink and was being drilled for a 2nd consecutive day in the senate. over that the tank was killed, 10 civilians just prior to the west, the military pull out the correspondence still in call for us. right guys, the ripples. well, we much bear in mind, the highly partisan 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 again, it's on the b evacuation, which, you know, many people see is, has been chaotic as well as humiliate. will the united states, look we were, we were here. we were put on the fly weeks, a get a v 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 drew's buzzing endlessly. and the guys kabul, 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 a trigger, fingers of troops on the yet already fearing for their lives. as well as the drone operators, the generals are watching this commodity, this evacuation of the big, fearful about pulling the trigger too quickly. the guy, the biden administration 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 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. drones, many people could see the spelling book as it was published in the media reported to show in the area of the troll strike. immediately before it took place, showing a man looting empty cactuses into time. this is a lapse may have been mistook by the drone of where it is, but it is on the ground as filled with explosives. look the speculation immediately after about the dream strike. 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 build to 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 explosive. 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 stroke 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 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 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 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 they've got to start well, that rounds up today's global use coverage, which means it's time next to the old into our russian parliamentary election. special coverage is the race hot. so who's safe in the country state duma. stay tuned for that after the show break. ah ah ah

ah me rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me who dares thing we dare to ask me

the ah welcome back to the hall to bring it in the election day with us rushes. the voting will be over 3 days. it will run from friday to sunday, and across the week we're introducing you to the different parties in the race, giving you an insight into the world of russian politics. for now, let's just take you through how the entire election process works. ah,

[000:00:00;00] the news we saw the $450.00 seats up for grabs lots of competition for them. let's get cracking on the 14 parties hoping voters will be putting a tick in the box. first of the russian party of freedom and justice is among the socialist parties, involved it pleasures to build a society based on social justice and equality for most free education. and hope can the 1st on this body's been involved in such an election and the chair told us why they deserve people's bikes. we sent for civil rights and freedoms,

and gotten people's rights to teach in their own languages and really practice their religion. and we aimed to create social state, we did not have the goal of establishing a left wing money. we are a road civil movement, and this is what makes us unique. there is no time to divide people into left and right. we need to call lesion of citizens, can challenge the criminal and bureaucratic system. 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 towards socialism. well, a lot, they are in fact their program is built around the idea of well creating a socialist state out of russia. he is how the leader of this party describe his intentions. my young, my aim is to develop the people as a political nation, rely on national consciousness. all modern 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 mail in the health care system has essentially been destroyed. it exists only for the well off. to rectify this, we need a clear government funding plan. there should be a decent level of support below which the state has no right to fault. this 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 legislature level because we are in the minority. our goal is to appeal to the hearts and minds of people. 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,

how to 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 dr 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 not wanting. they want to change that and dwell to become, to get the 1st representative in the russian parliament. another party competing the election is road and this is a right wing nationalist party advocate for social justice and the preservation of traditional values. the policies demanding tougher immigration rules and lobbying for the interest of russia's region beyond moscow. it wasn't just one and a half percent support in the previous election before the chair took us through the main points and then manifesto which every official should pass the test for

patriotism and live in russia. if officials administers have families living here and not there, they will do everything to raise the standard of living in this country. we go to left russia, if they want to work here and live there. if officials are required to live in russia, then a 3rd will immediately disappear. health care is one of the states priorities as well. it's possible to rebuild our health care system in less than 5 years. the question is whether people really want that to happen, where the officials want it, they're all using private cap. i also voted against pension reform. i think the liberal blogs let the president down. they told us there is not enough money, but it's not true. well, let's move to the center of the political spec to now and take a look at the current majority party and the re election favor united. russia is considered the de facto ruling party, so also the largest in the country. his german is the former prime minister to meet him. inventive the party supports the program of the president,

and among girls is strengthened in russia sovereignty, if he cannot make programming plate support for domestic industry, including high tech, nodded russia. the current majority party took more than half the votes in the last election, but can't maintain that grid for drink. it takes a look 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 inevitably 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 surprised moves,

party leader dmitri. me advantage 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 countries beating covert, dr. ah, 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. 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, thank you. i want to reiterate my position. it is one thing to write something that is right and important, and toward a beautifully. and it is another thing to implement it. you and i are aware that the ruling political party is responsible for everything and all the countries problem. so that's what you have acted responsibly so far. and the program is turned out to be quite feasible. united russia proud the calls. busy it's 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, me ah. so like i said, you know,

russian isn't going through 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. seen more reminiscent of a dog owner playing with his boot. where certainly unseemly for a governor given up 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, rav and mr. shaw group. but unlike 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 plus or from our election headquarters, the de sour brother, anchors and correspondence are going to be right through the remaining campaign days and it is going to be ready to go far coverage through to the voting. and so those all important result on monday morning for now that that's it for me appreciate you thing with will return with all next global of that. i'm still doing reelections, especially in just half an hour thought. join me. why not going to be interesting? launcher, most good watching off day is the national ah

ah, or x markets thing? food shortage in and with big claim, you don't need it for the market. that's the plain and simple truth and country after country is beginning to realize that going to scape with the matrix for ag dominated by current players who control us dollar. and they can have sovereignty. true sovereignty. if you have reliance on the us dollar, you do not have sovereignty both oh right now, there are $2000000000.00 people who are overweight or obese. it's profitable to sell food that is pricey 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 because it's corporate, me ah, ah, ah ah, ah. hello and welcome to cross top, where all things are considered. i'm peter labelle, is the vital presidency in terminal decline. this administration's handling of the coven pandemic, the economy, and not least afghanistan sees this president underwater in the polls. and
