4:01 pm
divorce johnson has started. much anticipated shake of his cabinet. the biggest change think dominic golf, shifting his job is foreign secretary of natural gas prices. a 3rd to an all time record in europe. $964.20. and the rising by the hours marking phase of wind energy tried to use the us sector, state is admitted. he has no idea who was killed in a drug strike enough down us down last time. 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 speak to that in the setting and any of that. so you don't know or won't tell us. i don't, i don't know because we're doing it on the race. it's eating up the season, rushes paul in the election just days. do i now will give you the full breakdown with all special coverage this out throughout the
4:02 pm
the who's who we are. this is home for the next few days. our election roof studio right in moscow, this is where we're following the campaign trail that leads all the way to the low house of russia's parliament level of all parliamentary election coverage coming up in just a few minutes time 1st. so we'll have a quick look at the news stories making today's headlines and worth paying attention because all change of the heart of the british government promised divorce johnson carried out a cabinet re shuffle today. it was a shakeup long expected. but did people expect the education secretary to the sacked or the foreign secretary to be moved to the justice department with all the details? these are these, these are quite dramatic. re shuffled by borrowers on some of the british prime minister. and the most notable perhaps of those re shuffles is dominic rob,
4:03 pm
who of course is or 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. a strategic withdrawal from afghanistan with anything bob tail to tease. we thought couple airport last month. while all of that was going on in the taliban were balancing 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 cabinet. the tie and the situation in afghanistan was really heating up. the criticism was coming in for dominic rob from all corners of the political world. it's important to me what you were doing and where you were doing it from. when did you go and holding me through, i'm not looking to brush be over this. i just want you to, when you went,
4:04 pm
when did you little bit with the facts on the surface, this looks like a family of planning on, on grunt 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 have to come back to. i'd be very grateful. it seems particularly random because hi, come us was recently started arranging the evacuation of german people through tashkent and it seems to be a real the 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 offer to reside? now i consider getting home with the job. rob here still quite an important character. important figure within the cabinet is the deputy prime minister. busy the chancellor and the justice secretary, so i move for him, but others perhaps haven't been as lucky. williamson well,
4:05 pm
that bucklin and robert general the alphabet division. but the chancellor richie said that he remained interestingly pretty to tell who is the home secretary. she was still 2 claims on her job despite quicker than yes 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 on their lives. and many other well as clearly sensible that govern williams has been rooted education secretary, he was completely useless and it's also run the w. rob is gone from the foreign office, given the failure, i think, to do with the dentist on any sensible and effective way. however, the trouble is the 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 staff who don't believe impressions and eliminates a whole range of people who are quite challenging. will have to do the johnson's
4:06 pm
work possible. prime minister there was punish. we've had in 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 i don't think rob coach remains a deputy prime minister to that kind of reward or failure like will be placed in the back of government. williams has been a particularly useless education. secondary, i don't think those who are concerned about foreign affairs recognize that dominant robin didn't perform well in terms of again, and i will welcome his and the removal. i'm not particularly hopeful that the final outcome of this re shop will be very much better than we've had talked to mr. frank . i notice he's leaving for talent position as a home secretary, she in my view is always mrs. process. johnson of image, which i believe book one, but one see many chances are in place and the chancellor is probably the one member,
4:07 pm
the government with some credibility with a map. so winter will be upon this shortly, and people are started to turn their minds towards how much will they need to budget for the heating bills. and there's some concerning news for people in europe, especially because prices for natural gas have it in all time. record the price currently $964.00 per 1000 cubic meters. just for some context that price of 20 percent in just the last 24 hours and he's still on the rise. this is lining up a triple threat just as when to demands are about to kick in the surging wholesale prices. coinciding with lower levels of stored gas and this specter rising fuel poverty correspondent in europe. the duke explains where the cost, if you report horses was expected. so people may have used more energy during the summer months. also lockdown across europe could have impacted the amount. 1 of energy people use at home also know that they've seen
4:08 pm
a problem with wind energy. low winds have not been able to create enough energy to set top up those 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 that around 84 percent. it's currently standing way down. 71 percent. all of it comes as you continue to all over the are you seeing gas supply from russia? as you may be aware, the news stream to pipeline construction project is completed last week and gas from the russian company has said it is ready to supply you with a gas deficit immediately. it's ready to step up to the plate and do that. however, for that to happen, you have to certify that pipeline, they'll never suggestions that could take some before that's ready to happen. we
4:09 pm
knew that some countries in europe already trying to take emergency measures to deal with thought crisis that there are tons of painting over the winter months just around the corner. and this really could be the saw of another crisis fuel poverty is something the find some things that need householders to a pensioners or low income. you often have to make a particularly tough decision. do they have a home to stay warm for themselves, their families, the children, or to the youth? he think 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 calls with the having to make every year. so the idea that once again,
4:10 pm
we could see prices increase. now lease historic price, it really will bring a lot of fear to those families who have been badly struggling to fall life. europe, us had things to interest facing fuel crisis. we know that the question is now what other government's food and how will be european union react and de critical shortage of wind power is also creating questions about an over reliance on renewable energy. foremost in 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 they got in then for each of our know all that all together. great stuff mixed that on the one hand that led to the increase in power prices. kinetic tricity prices of causal natural gas prices. and on the
4:11 pm
other hand, although the permanent lessons risk of power cuts, electricity, we have tremendous rise. it's only lines of 40 percent of the poland, speaking of 4050 percent. so this effect, countries, other countries, which for instance have an tricity based on nuclear like in france, i'm currently living the seclusion difference. 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 about friday drive the real problem for many countries in particular in germany, where we already had several of the creation of soft, crappy and near power cuts in, not in certain regions. this is amanda problem.
4:12 pm
now in other news, the u. s. 60 stay claims that he simply does not know who was hit in a recent american drug strike in afghanistan and city of lincoln was being drilled for a 2nd straight day in the senate over this attack. so the time that killed 10 civilians just before the west, the military pull out, all correspondence in cobble force, man against the details of 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 as but chaotic as well as humiliate. will the united states look, we will, we will here. we will put that on the final weeks again, a v evacuation. we remember that the terror attacks that put everyone on it,
4:13 pm
the fear here, the anticipation that there could be more terror attack reputed drew's 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 of watching which commands this evacuation of the big, fearful, about pulling the trigger too quickly. the guy, the, by the 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 full. you don't know if it was an aide worker or an ices k operative. i
4:14 pm
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 well. see, you think you'd kinda know before you're off, somebody with a predator. drones, many people 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 looting mc catalyst this into a comp time. this is a lapse may have been mistook by the drone over it is by offices 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 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 half sealed with explosive.
4:15 pm
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 through striking from what we've seen from the hearings at the blink, the state department, and the by the ministration 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's 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 families of those troops,
4:16 pm
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 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 this thing with us here in our take time now to launch into our russian parliamentary election, special coverage, the race is holding up for seats in the state. they will dive into that after the show break. i hello, driven by
4:17 pm
a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask in awe or ex market thing? food shortage in and what's been claim data for our market. that's the plane and based on simple truth and country after country is beginning to realize they can escape the b matrix of for acts of dominated by current players who control us dollar. and they can have sovereignty truce sovereignty. if you have reliance on the us dollar, you do not have sovereignty both the
4:18 pm
ah, welcome back to the very most recent stated for the final time this evening. timed out to bring your in depth coverage of the election to the state to go on. the voting will be repeated 3 days. events of friday to, to sunday. and across the week, we're introducing you to the different parties in this rate and bringing you an insight into the will to russian politics. for now, let's have a quick look at how does the entire election process work in this country?
4:19 pm
ah, [000:00:00;00] the news full in a turn of events, the election could actually be at risk from meddling so much. so the moscow is demanding answers from washington that i claims of alleged interference. this is what vs top diplomat is at the side of the castle. is those facts swimming to range of western platforms which been refusing to remove forbidden content for certain facts were provided to us ambassador. we sent him the data and is quite significant . we are waiting for
4:20 pm
a response from us colleagues there said the internet sources and companies are independent, but they do have to come hi with russian move. and we have grounds to believe the american government is not powerless on this issue. like a big dancer, dave linda off is the founding editor of the online news site. this can't be happening davis. can we just outline the story? the moscow is demanding answers from washington about these planes of interference . do you think it will get any answers? it's hard to search, you know, the vpn thing is really interesting. i've had a lot of experience with vpn because i spend a lot of time as a correspondent in china for business week and in china when i visited there, even since then, people use vpn apps in order to avoid the chinese internet
4:21 pm
and to get access to websites outside china and it's illegal. a lot of those apps that they get are american apps. american made apps, and, you know, we in america don't use them because we have a lot more freedom to go. all kinds of horrible websites and untrue websites and manipulative websites and everything else. but some people may not be terribly upset when they hear that these u. s. companies are offering the ends to russian citizens to allow them to get to band websites. but meanwhile, we have people crying in congress for building websites on facebook and google and so on, that if walt's information about everything from elections to axioms. so, you know, maybe if they band them, we'd be using vpn to get out them. you know, people would be so i don't know what the response will be since people aren't
4:22 pm
familiar with the pm's. we've already seen the us ambassador summons to the russian forum. mystery relations already pretty bad, as indeed they always seem to be between the nations doing this could escalate just a big deal. it depends what evidence they come up with. i mean, i think that, you know, if it's bad enough, maybe what russia should do is ban google and ban apple. you know, so as you know what china is done with companies like microsoft and stuff when they felt like they are violating chinese law. if it's violating russian election law and if they refuse to talk about it and you ban them, that's a big deal. and that'll get attention in the us. if you don't phantom any, allow them to continue to violate russian election law. i supposed to just figure out,
4:23 pm
it's not that big deal if we just took a generally about the, you know, the, the claims from the us, the russia tried to interfere in the us elections that makes this is pretty stolen a. she doesn't have to think that might be a little bit of let's just say the us administration, turning a blind eye to see what's going on. they may feel like there's a sense of payback perhaps. yeah, i mean, you got to remember that you know, google and apple and cisco systems and all of these other site companies are independent corporations in the united states. they pretty much can do what they want, especially abroad. there may be certain laws that are applied to them very few here in the us. but abroad they got a free hand as far as us is concerned. and so you can't really pin down that what
4:24 pm
they're doing is a business decision, because they get money from advertising, from people who use them, or because they're doing it as an serv to the ca or, or the u. s. government or state department. it's hard. that's hard to know, you know, it's like what people point out about the hacking of u. s. sites and, and the information that comes from companies allegedly, in russia, they haven't really tied it specifically to the russian government. but everybody's convinced in the us that it's the russian government behind it. so maybe a similar case to that. if we look at the power, the big tech companies, social media company in particular wield when it comes to the information people can access during elections in the us. there's certainly a lot of influence. the screening of certain political news stories, we saw, the president trump banned from twitter,
4:25 pm
now they have some kind of suede themes and information that, that people can access in russia. what about the amount of power these companies whole does not need to be discussed. maybe even curved. well, you know, it's a touchy question because we have a 1st amendment that, that says that you have right for free speech. and so far, the supreme court has held that what goes on on the internet is speech not publication. you know, when it's publication on, say on a television, then we have an f, a and f t c. that is monitoring that and licensing them. but in the case of google and apple and things like that, it's considered to be speech on the internet. so it makes it hard to regulate and i'm not one who advocates censorship. so it, it, unless they're, you know, doing, you know,
4:26 pm
blayton falsehood. and it is equivalent to yelling fire and burning theater. i don't think you're going to see a band in the u. s. safe, really good to speak to you this evening. appreciate it. don. dave, linda, my guess, found together to this. com behalf. right, let's get back to our election coverage and we'll continue with our deep dive into the 14 parties who are running for the state duma. let's take a quick look at those with an environmental agenda. the greens promotes of course conservation of nature. this year the party got this of a new chairman and continuous push to unite all those who care about ecology. here in russia. the started as a social movement, $993.00, seeking a so called green revolution. of all the one little less than one percent of the vote. though in 2016, he's other parties, new chairman,
4:27 pm
set out his store for this year's ballot. money to keep, we're not in a position party. we're a century party. want our agenda focusing 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. probably the reason change the hearts of minds of people who have become more environmentally conscious. the past couple years like for example, sorting, sorting the 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 too, that people have indeed become more conscious 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 more spotlights on the environmental agenda on the green and
4:28 pm
gen after all. the other greens and it is a universal concept, a universal political concept, of course. so here's 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 not have about 10 legislative proposals dedicated to that. the 1st focuses on organic agriculture. we want to support our farmers, so they could stop using come food, chemicals, and that's very important. and then we think it's important to impose greater fines and allow for other forms of legal action to make sure business owners and shareholders act responsibly. so again, everything from encouraging recycling to well terms of energy sources in russia and with well bolstering their presence here to even supporting and backing the russian science and encouraging them to focus their research on a more environmental agenda, so to speak. now again, russia recently did pass
4:29 pm
a law that encourages companies to be more green and even awards them with so called green point, that they will be able to cash out. so we'll see if this course, if this well, the federal cause and discover mental course helps the greens with their agenda and with that caused well at the election. okay, that wraps it up from ortiz election headquarters for this hour. indeed, for the saving. thanks so much for a company. the rest assured our anchors correspondence to be here right through the remaining campaign day through the voting process to bring you those when we go on monday morning from may for now, i really appreciate company. i'll be back with more on the state election coverage tomorrow for now by from the
4:30 pm
i or x markets 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 country is beginning to realize that going to scape the b 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 the initial key in motion law and me will be seen and you will finish
