they can escape that. the matrix for x is 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, the news a stub in the bag from events. it's frustration, those 3 of its allies, the u. s. the u. k and australia. read the pacific security alliance, seen those countries, china garza, joe biden, mc southern bar thing. slip up while another thing the deal, apparently forgetting the name of the extraneous board. and

i want to thank that total down under thank you very much. appreciate your time is also ahead while european markets, real from wedding phase record storage and natural gas prices with a knock on effect on the pockets of customers. we look at the root causes of the crisis and rushes parliamentary election is just the day away. will bring you the full bricks on this, our, on the brought the 3 the news from moscow to the world. this is our to hello and welcome to the news are, i mean the newly i stop in the buck diplomats in front didn't hold back this week in describing a pacific security park between 3 of its allies, the u. s. the u. k. industry, liam, seeing an attempt to contact basing our

u. k. correspondent, shabby edwards. she is following developments. well, put it this way for the french, it seems like australia was only with a fraud until a better deal offer came along, which invariably it has australia originally asked france to help with its submarine mission, but has now walked away. and walking away also comes with scrapping a 90000000 year road deal. instead, australia now wants to assign this tax with the united kingdom and the united states, which for the french, they say it's a stop in the back. the will do the jungle. france has just been reminded this bitter truth by the way, the u. s. and the u. k of stopped her in the back in australia. phil v, the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from restructuring partnership with australia at the time when we are facing unprecedented challenges in the in the pacific region shows

a lack of coherence that france can only note and regret. 7 said, australia has signed this security parks with the united kingdom and the united states overgrown and consent over china and its regional dominant onto this deal. then what it all really entails is that all 3 nations will be sharing secrets and data and information on a strategic level on areas, including artificial intelligence, cyber security, and also nuclear defense. part of this, we'll see that australia will now acquire a nuclear submarine making the 7th the country in the world to get a nuclear sop just the last time that the united states allowed such capabilities was right here to the united kingdom some decades ago are very grand gesture, indeed, however, it's not just the likes of france quite upset by the signing of this new security parks but neighboring countries like new zealand who have long been walking towards nonproliferation in the region. the center piece of it is nuclear powered

submarines. no part is a very well versed and understanding position of nuclear power vessels and weapons . i will legislation says no vessel holy are fully powered by nuclear energy, can anto internal waters. but look, burton is also quite eager to be more involved in areas like the asia pacific, especially after the exit from the european union. we have to remember that the united kingdom on its government has long been trying to re brad and re establish it self as a global britain. but all of this will really push europe to now be more one of us in its own strategic planning. in fact, the plot was not even informed about this new u. s. u. k, australia security partnership. again at a time when e. u. member states are also struggling to meet the funding commitments in nato as well. so that could be a wider political backlash than just that of china. i spoke with independent journalist lucrative a. he thinks france is right to be angry about the loss of

a major defense contract. he's really somehow stabbing back coming so late in the process. you know, after years and years of discussions and preparations, the friends, shaw and santa plea angry about this, your threat and will have to compensate probably financially from for this is mostly a question of reliability of the core of this. why the defense, that is britain, the us, and a strain year for the south pacific, where of course, a sort of new cold war is installing itself with china. well, the alliance between the u. s. on us really might not be as close as it seems when announcing the new security deal, president biden appeared to forget the name of australia's prime minister. scott morrison. thank you board, and i want to thank that fell down under. thank you very much. appreciate it.

privacy, australia, the u. s. l from repeatedly cited they suppose the security threat from beijing in the indoor pacific region were china is the dominant power and the signing of this august. so its name, security part comes just months after britain infuriated the chinese by sending its worship to the south china sea to join, so called freedom of navigation operations, led by the us. china has condemned the new lines calling it threw back to the cold war. countries should not build exclusionary blocks targeting or harming the interest of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake up there. cole were mentality and ideological prejudice. we spoke about a trillion choice of military partners and where it could be leading with economics, professor benjamin chow, and anti war activist. richard becker. there's no explanation. why are the u. s. u k? now,

at this time helping australia develop a nuclear power suite of submarines and then turning around and saying this will advance the world peace. clearly this is about another war. this is about a war that is being prepared against china. the us leaders, they talk about the endo pacific, which is of course, a know term was made up to enable us to explain us leaders explain, bringing more countries into the anti china alliance surrounding china. on the surface, we see that the u. s. and the k is empowering australia to have the nuclear submarine . i think the under one key reason for this empowerment is the us in the ability to provide more defense budgets to support this a large spending of nuclear power summaries. so

it says it is forcing australia to share the cost of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions and also forces into soap toilet and also indo pacific region, especially now that there is increasing tension between china and australia. so china is watching very closely. the next steps of the 3 country alliance. right to another ra headline, stories. europe is reeling from a price shock on its energy markets, natural gas rates, in an old time record on witness. they have almost a $1000.00 per 1000 cubic meters. this is how that's mark its rollercoaster really left on wednesday. the price picked up $980.00. that's more than 50 percent higher than 2 weeks ago. by late evening, things had come down somewhat. but unless our warning a further volunteer, let's see. the current prices is being planned partly on energy policies being

pushed by western governments. as charlotte dubin ski takes us through with news. the cap price is a 2 story because many people are already. busy concerned about the difficult decisions that lay ahead high school and also it's a bit scary, it's purchasing power that is decreasing. that puts more money in the pockets of shareholders of big companies. it will be quite difficult for many households will not be affected much, but most will be the price of gas is already high enough. i've already decided not to eat my apartments for a while longer. it's quite difficult in winter, but it's still in habitable. if i put the heating back on at home, the bill easily climbed 250 years a month because i'm worried about this increase. and the fact that will have in my bills and the cost of living with what we have left at the end of the month, it will be complicated, except for the money forgot. i hate my home with gas if increase the price of a year,

a time will come when we will no longer be able to afford to keep ourselves warm. you policy is a real issue here in europe, across the block, significant numbers of people say that they just simply call to food to keep the home warm enough prices. why? this is only like you to point further, particularly for those who income such as pension is soaring. prices have been blamed on a variety of faxes. i think the web and even the taco between european and asian bias liquefied natural gas. all of this has led to gas reserves along wishing level. so why is you really facing such a potentially winter? that is not purely a supply problem. it's not really a supply chain problem. this is a monetary induced problem. part of what politicians do in this case is they've tend to concoct conspiracy theories to cover up for their own failures. so in the

case of europe, everybody rubs to blame russia. i think there's a lot of scrambling and it starts now around the world to try to figure out how to get the fuels to people who need it for the, for the, for the coming winter. but it's a little bit late in the day to be thinking about this right now. so i think we're headed for a very difficult 6 months. it's also claimed that you have been aggressive with a shutdown of coal and also its own domestic gas fields. coupled with a heavy carbon taxation, while at the same time it happens gotten quite enough to make up for that by committing fully to carbon future this tremendous attack on fossil fuel chills going on all over the western world. you know, in the name of abating climate change and so on, but it's been very reckless and, and it's, and it's really has injured the capacity of the markets to respond to,

to the pi signals and to demand properly. so you have all these factors working in, so you've got the supply restrictions, artificial in many directions, regulatory restrictions and so on. and all of these things are combining from an economic point of view to drive up prices that are going to make people tremendously suffer and multifarious ways of now and for the next several years. so what is the solution? quote, the companies could hook to compete at a higher level with asian counterpart for that liquefied natural gas food that does mean that there is the potential then the higher prices and phase always russia last week, the long awaited new stream to pipeline which runs under the baltic sea was completed, it consent, 55000000 cubic meters of gas,

directly to your repair for you. that's enough to supply 26000000 household annually. russian company gas says it's ready to feel void, that according to the country's government could solve europe's problems. there is no doubt that launching nor stream to as quickly as possible would significantly balance out the price of natural gas in europe, including on the spot market. that will though depend, don't be easier to find the pipeline quick shawl fish and accepting that it may need to bolster supply from russia. so what all, you repeating governments doing right now will, spain has already intervened to attempt to shield its population from higher prices . new emergency measures, we'll see profits from the energy companies being used to cap the increase in gas prices. meanwhile, italy has said it will look at changes in energy sector to combust of expected 14

percent rise in retail power prices in the next quarter. what's clear is the, you need a strategy, and if it's to push ahead with plans to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, it needs to be deeper quickly. so the tv sci fi, paris, there is just a day to go before a russians cast their ballots and elections for the state duma, the countries lower house of parliament. let's take a brief look at how the process is actually going to work. the, [000:00:00;00]

the, let's continue or a deeper dive into the 14 parties running for they said to me as we've been doing throughout the week. take a look today at those driving and environmental agenda. the greens promote the conservation of nature. this year the party got itself and the chairman who continued to push to unite all those who quote, carried about ecology in russia. the party began as a social movement in 1993, seeking a so called green revolution. last time out in 2016, they played a little less than one percent of the vote here. so the parties new leaders set out his store for this years bollet morning. sure to keep well, not in a position party where a central 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. so 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 to 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 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 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 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 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 the 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 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 cause well,

at the election a gorgeous anough. moving to the center of the political spectrum, the current majority, party, and election favorite, united russia is the de facto ruling party. it's also the largest in the country. it's german is the former prime minister, and president dmitri med viet of the parties. sports, the program of the president among schools is strengthening rushes. sovereignty its economic agenda include support for domestic industry with an emphasis on high tech sectors elia. but frank looks now at what the new ballad could bring for united russia. they are the rowing party. they are the favorites. always pretty much they are the party which 5 years ago, set a record by winning 344 seeds out of 450. but how well united russia fair in this year's election, at some point, any long standing champion inevitably phases of 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, 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 cova, 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 and 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 should have. 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 party is responsible for everything and all the countries problem. but you have act responsibly so far. and the program is turned out to be quite feasible . united russia proud the calls. busy it's manifesto, the peoples 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 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 the 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. we're certainly unseemly for a governor given our 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 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. and it all gets going in less than 24 hours as the clock ticks towards election. 2021 will continue special coverage throughout the day. the

a vast majority of americans are unhappy with the country's directions under the biden administration, according to a new nation wide pool or u. s. correspond killing open has been asking people why the dismay joe biden was supposed to end, that rising anger left over from the trump. here he was supposed to bring a new level of political peace to the country. remember, the last administration left us a dismantled and unworkable system we are dedicated to achieving and quite frankly, are working around the clock to replace the cruelty of the past administration. well, that did not happen. a new poll from cnn shows that across party lines, 75 percent of americans say they are angry or very angry about the direction of the country is moving in a mid rising crime. corona virus, the immigration crisis, record inflation, among other issues. let's find out exactly why people have a beef with biden. he's disjoined, or i know the world not just as country the world. first of all,

i think is with it isn't always doing. and i believe with the whole off guy, nathan doing, he just threw up totally the whole again, essentially as go wrong. he's making mistakes or perhaps the way to draw a gun at the whole thing, whatever. yes. and he's not real, he's not the president. he's not, people are controlling him. a lot of people, aggravated disappointed with the way the cobra coverage is going. know could handle things differently, but what president couldn't the lack of leadership? i don't think he's got a grip on anything that's going on at all. the white house, so it's rising trajectory come to a sudden halt. jo biden's approval ratings are now in the negative. the president was promising to be our fix it man. but now more than 8 months in it's looking like things are pretty broken. it has been caused by the president and not just that entire cabinet, the ministration, starting with the correct way that we withdrew from afghanistan, the way that we left that only the people there,

but the way there are still american civilians track and then and then you go to some of the border states, there's no taxes other where july and he had this open or policy has not dealt with the end. you see that kinda love the people coming to the border wonder non tested for coca 19. they're not, they're not looked at, they're not really. there's a lack of transparency a month, the ministration keep moving, credibility. he's losing popularity every day. job by and there has been ministration. seems to do something that just make it worse. fighting does not care . he's not doing anything that is bringing back the truck to the face of the american people on both sides of the aisle. he seems to be making matters worse. if you stories from across the globe to bring, you know, a powerful or quick inside the west, china has killed at least 3 people and left dozens injured. and major rescue operation is now underway and such one province. the region suffers frequent tremors,

and in 2008 was hit by one of the deadliest quakes in china's history. swimming 90000 live hundreds of students on university staff of march through athens denouncing the government's latest round of cobit restrictions . under the new rules, a vaccine certificate or negative p c r test is required for in person teaching. currently, around 56 percent of the great population of received cobit shot and the world's 1st to all tourists crew has blasted off in this space ex rocket cielo must company. none of them are professional astronauts, but they'll be orbiting for 3 days, which is considerably longer than 1000000000 or amazon funder. jeff pays off his 10 minute flight in july and multiple times higher to with a target altitude of 575. now a journalist who was captured by the taliban,

is today's guest on the alex summon. show no vol. ridley assures her perspective on afghanistan, the future 20 years on from the war on terrors. beginnings, this is our t ah, ah, the civic lag around the world expedition 5000 miles round the clock had given the dead calm, the national personal financial. every country close by the crew. gavin's food and water harbor to go to chat. those

we choose to look for common ground in or x markets are 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 country is beginning to realize they can escape the b matrix for acts of dominated by current players who control us dollar. and they can have sovereignty. true sovereignty. if you have rely on the us dollar, you do not have sovereignty. the, the news. ah,

ah, welcome to the alexander sure where we turn once again to the end of the war in afghanistan. this time we had to be to women whose lives had been inescapably touched by the long conflict masika his sonny was an african refugees who finally came to the u. k. during the 1st period of taliban government, doctor yvonne ripley was a tough journalist who for the short period some 20 years ago, became the most famous women on the planet i. she was captured by the taliban on their very eve of the need to invasion, expedient of giving them different perspectives of a son in war and in peace. both join alex in a moment to put the 1st few tweets emails on messages in response to our program last week on the aftershock of loan call that he fraser says highly informative interviews. the case has been made to wait
