such a good offer. i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that ah ah, a stub in the back from van said frustration of 3 of it's l. i. so us the u. k. on the street leave it silva, pacific security alliance of country china. we got live reaction that's coming up in moment on the account still buys you make certain bars things slip up while and most of the day. forgetting the name of the student boers and i want to thank coming down on thank you very much,

appreciate it. and also ahead, while european markets, real from wedding phase record surgeon, natural gas prices with a knock on effect on the pockets of customers, we look at the root causes of the price. i live for moscow. this is our team, my names, human, a leave of 30 minutes of news and views start a stub in the back. that's how senior french officials have described a pacific security park between 3 of its allies. the u. s. britain. industry them seen as an attempt to contribution or u. k. correspondent, shall the edwards dash g is following developments. well, put it this way for the french. it seems like australia was only with fraud until a better deal of 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 sign 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 fil a v, the american choice to exclude the european ally and partner such as franz from a structuring 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. so instead of failure has signed this security parks with the united kingdom and the united states overgrown consent over china and its regional dominance 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 7 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. so 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 pieces it is nuclear power 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 enzo and turn on 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 brand and reestablish it self as a global britain. but all of this will really push europe to now be more fundamental 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. so france, losing a 1000000000 euro deal. we got reaction to the story on the streets of paris. you bought up from your family. this is not the 1st time that night estates has taken contracts from us. they are very good at that. they do not respect anyone to part from themselves. they act like masters of the world. they shouldn't have done that

because i think if france had done the same, they would have complained it and they wouldn't have liked it. we'll see if the current president is better than the last one. it represents a lot of money, a lot of jobs, but it would be better if these jobs were for making other things. it's a little dishonest, i suppose. and the other hand, they were closest which allowed them to break the contract before they started making the submarines. no, it's never good for a person to see that a contract has been broken. it's happened to me personally. they're always paragraphs and clauses, but it must be justified. you have to have a good reason if i understand it correctly. the united states is a competitor. so of course, it's not a good thing. there should have been talks between the french and the americans. from the french to the british capital, where we speak to chris 9 am. chris is a political activist on funding member of the stop the war coalition. good to have you on what you're writing, emotional, but this, what do you make of the deal? is that the, when, when all those involved are making out then well, i mean,

absolutely not. i think it's another stage in the rats you seeing alco, west and confrontation with china that the have in here. that's the most important aspect of this deal. it's it provokes you, backed, it's going to increase the engine that has been gradually escalating over the last few years between the us that western alliance and, and china. and it will be ready. china of these may as a financial act as a sensually behind the kind of coded language. they'll understand that the message that chinese influence in the region is going contested. it's gonna be contested military date and they've got to be contested by a strengthened western law. and so, i mean, it's a very, very dangerous thing to stay. the british government shouldn't be involved in this

. and it's something that everyone who wants to see a peaceful future needs to be very alarmed about and needs to campaign against. well indeed, it's really how stressed about this pack won't give it nuclear weapons. but given of course, chris stuff, there's going to be long range missiles on board. how do you think china react though? do they believe the, do you think? well, i mean, 1st of all, yes, just even in terms of what is being admitted here, this is a serious military escalation and she was saying the results and it will be more minutes hardware in the region as part of the western allowance, more firepower in the region, we're talking about ships that can stay in the, in the south china seas or in the area the a specific area, a months time. so just on face value, this is

a series escalation. but also everyone knows that there's a loophole in the nuclear proliferation treaty. which means the materials use to power nuclear submarine can be saw and all, without any kind of check from the n p t to be used to, to arm nuclear weapons. so, so this is a kind of a women like china account, just go on board and check what's there. they have to take these countries out there word, which isn't very likely in this situation. absolutely. i mean, and it's sending a message and, and find a way it's interesting, if you read some of the statements from the u. s. official, the britain has been very much pushing for this. britain's been very much pushing over the last few months for the strongest possible role in the months confrontational and provocative possible strategy against china. but it cannot even

read as a kind of a message that the bite to administration is thinking about relations with china in military that disasters for people in china is disastrous. the people around the world and the very idea, well leaders are pushing towards a situation that makes military confrontation, which in our nation nuclear armed nations, more likely is absolutely shocking, outrageous, and needs to be condemned everywhere. chris, let me just touch in another aspect briefly. the trillion government has not disclosed how much they're paying for the deal at a time. of course, when the economy on around the world is ruling from the pandemic, do people need to know how many billions are going to be spent on these nuclear submarines? but lately, i mean,

there's no disclosure in britain our, our military budget is consistently being raised by the by the time when they're saying that essential services can no longer probably be funded us trying to pressure other nato countries to increase their, their arms budgets. and she said, strangely, with now committing unknown numbers of dollars to millions the other day, little next, the $6000000.00. you imagine it's enough ballpark. it something line. and this time, when the world is reading from economic crises, from the time demi, from services of all kinds, being on the massive pressure that is absolutely disastrous. chris, thanks for your time. as always, always good to get your thoughts. chris 9 and political activist and finding member of the stop the work or listen will the friendship between washington and cambra might not be as close as it seems when one thing the security dealer president

biden, appeared to forget the name of the street. he's probably minister scott morrison. thank you born and i want to thank that shuttle down under. thank you very much appreciated as to privacy. that's really the u. s. and from south repeatedly side of the supposed security threat from pacing and the endo pacific region where china is that dominant power on the signing of the sony and august security pack comes just months after britain infuriated the chinese by sending its worships to the side trying to see, to join, so called freedom of navigation operations, led by the us. china has condemned the new alliance. calling in a throwback to the cold war, countries should not build exclusionary blocks targeting or harming the interest of 3rd parties. in particular, they should shake off their cold war mentality and ideological prejudice. we spoke about history as choice of military partners. indeed, where it could be leading with economics. professor benjamin show an anti war

activist richard becker. there's no explanation. why are the u. s. and the 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 just of course i 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 u. s. in the ability

to provide more defense budget to support this large spending of nuclear power summaries. and so it says it is forcing australia to share the costs of maintaining such ships and also strategic positions. and also. ready forces into soap toilet and also window pacific region especially now that. ready there is increasing tension between new china and australia, so china is watching very closely. the next steps of the free country, a lie ortiz special investigative project, read fish, as well as page and instagram deleted by the platform. it follows a similar move by facebook in april this year, before his page was block, read fish had 400000 followers. it's been facing increase pressure in recent times, such as it's content being labeled, rushing, controlled media, read fresh,

contacted both instagram site sooner. facebook for an explanation for the band, but it's not yet been given a clear answer. your instagram account got deleted either because you violated one or more of instagram's community guidelines or because of a mistake. once in instagram account is deleted, you can't restore it. or less welcome onto the program. now lizzy feelin. lizzy is red fish's, managing director. welcome. so instagram, toner, facebook said it's either a mistake or it's roots were broken. why do you think they aren't being more precise? give us your story. you're taking this. yeah. well, over the last year it seems very clear to us that both instagram and facebook, obviously the same company have in fact been waging political campaign sensor red fish. as you mentioned festival, we were bands and then heavily restricted by facebook after they slapped us with

several strikes on our page for anti fascist and anti racist post, including one that commemorated the holocaust. and this latest band today, by instagram, comes off the company was deleting several, a series of feminist pro l g, b, c, and c, police violence post. now these are all values which both facebook and instagram claim to hold. but until today they refuse to explain to us why when we talk about them they, they apparently violate that community guidelines. and for us, the major problem here is that companies like facebook and instagram, they have more power than any cooperation before them, or any government before them has over the media. but they're less accountable and less transparent than ever before. and we've tried over and over again, so reach out to somebody at facebook and instagram and for them to explain why this

is happening or to challenge the decision. but we constantly faced brick walls. in fact, the latest response that we've has about the instagram is instagram ban is the most chilling. they explicitly say that the decision was made by the higher ups, by the so called internal team. and that they can't disclose to us why. the reasons why this decision was made because of it would to do so would violate the security and privacy policy, which really just leaves us with the question. why are they being so secretive? if it, why, why can't they explain why they've reached this decision? if the reason political it shouldn't be that difficult. how would you categorize what's happening? what you've just explaining what's happened over over those times? is it a form of censorship? yes, absolutely. i but you know, when we started registration 4 years ago now we really did expect to face this, these kind of attacks and this kind of censorship because we, we set it up with the intent of challenging the mainstream media of censoring

oppressed people and storytelling. and, and highlighting how rotten the system which we live really is. and it's clear to us that the more successful that we've become doing. so the more that these attacks have intensified, really earlier this year, it began when i following reached over a 1000000 across top top forms when we began winning major awards for ad document cheese and which covet anywhere else in the mainstream media. and with instagram, the censorship really began when following on the platform peak around 422000 and follow it in the wake of our coverage of israel's latest war on gaza. and then they began deleting posts, and then they upgraded the label on our page from russian state affiliated to russian state control, which of course, they've never provided a shred of evidence for and which they can't because it's simply not true. and of course they, they never apply similar labels to media which are in the state controlled like the

b, b, c, or out there, for example. so for us, what they really says is that the more successful we are, the more that we can expect this kind of repression. so really, it just makes us more motivated to continue doing what we're doing. but we do off our audience supports us by talking about what's happening on social media with the, with the hash tag instagram, bring back red face. and by sharing our content with friends and family, because really is only with the support of the masses, of people who follow us, that we can challenge the power that these, these major corporations have to repress, incense or alternative media like read fish. let's see. thank you. very much for taken us. 3 out of what has been a difficult time. we wish you luck there. in berlin, lizzy feel, and read fish, managing director life on our team. go ahead on the program. that's divided based, done. russia read the job for its parliamentary elections,

opposition forces appear, all that see, says the personal doctor of president critic electing the only accuses his patients group of pot chrissy that story and was coming your way to 2nd i the your media, a reflection of reality the in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. tyson lation for community. you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? direct. what is true? what is faith?

in the world corrupted, you need to defend the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah join me every 1st day on the alec 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 log in europe is reeling from a price shock on its energy markets, natural gas rates in an all time record on wednesday of almost a $1000.00 per 1000 cubic meters. this is how that market roller coaster looked on wednesday. the price picked at $918.00, which is more than 50 percent higher than 2 weeks ago. by late evening,

things had come down somewhat, but on the list or warning, a further volatility. the current crisis is being playing partly on energy policy is being pushed by western governments as r t. charlotte dubin ski takes us through with news the gas prices of historic highways. many people are already concerned about the difficult decisions that lay ahead high school and also it's a bit scary. it's purchasing power that is decreasing, but that puts more money in the pockets of shareholders of big companies. it will be quite difficult for many households. some will not be affected that much, but most will be the price of gas is already high enough. i've already decided not to heat 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 $250.00 euros a month. 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 i hate my home with gas if they increase the price of a year a time will come when we will no longer be able to afford to keep ourselves warm. you see is a real issue here in europe across the block, significant number of people say that they just simply call to food to keep her home warm enough as prices why. she's only likely to fight further. particularly for those who income such as pension is soaring, prices have been blamed on a variety of factors. those include the weather and even the tougher between european and asian bias liquefied natural gas. all of this has led to gas reserves long wishing levels. so why is you really facing such a potentially winter? that is not purely a supply problem, it's not purely 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 ready 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 you have been aggressive with a shutdown of coal and also its own domestic gas fields. coupled with a heavy carbon and taxation while at the same time, it hasn't 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 market to respond to, to 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 these things are combining from an economic point of view to drive up prices that are going to make people tremendously suffer and multi various ways of now. and for the next several years. so what is the solution? will be 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 bowl

of exceed was completed no big concern, 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 countries, governments 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 repeat in government doing right now will, spain has already intervened to attempt to shield its population from higher prices, new emergency measures. we'll see profits problem with energy companies being used to cap the increase in gas prices. meanwhile,

italy has said that we'll look at changes in energy sector to combust of expected 40 percent rise in retail power prices in the next quarter. what's clear is the, you need a strategy, and if it's to put your head with plans to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, it needs config deeper. quickly show the tv sci fi paris tomorrow, friday, russia heads to the polls for its parliament reelection. but with the clock ticking dine splits are suddenly forming among the countries opposition parties. one has a 9th, its separation from the anti corruption fund, a grip classified as an extremist organization. the foreign agent on the russian law ortiz equals shut down off of the story. for a long time, it has been providing support to the doctor's alliance. it is a union, they brand themselves as russia's largest union for medical workers,

and they boast some 3000000 members. so this is what they are this union. it was created by lex and evolve the or his structures but back in 2017 election of only figured that it was a good idea to start helping people unionize. to start helping workers union lines and promote the already existing unions. this doctor's alliance became the, one of the 1st projects, and certainly the most successful one the, the, this anti corruption fund headed by election of only well created and backed by lex and evolving this anti corruption fund. it has been providing all sorts of information support for example, to this doctor's union. this doctor's alliance only became known, big only became known not among medical workers, but among general public only due to their joint projects with alex in a volley and his people. and now essentially they are accusing election of all the

and his retinue, the people in his retinue of cutting old ties and binding them his what they're saying, the anti corruption fund was providing informational aid to us. but once they stopped needing us, we forgot about us. they exploited and cost us aside and very frustrated. the managers of the anti cups and found the destroying the very thing we have been working so hard to create bulk of donna from beth. you have chosen power and money . they don't care about people's fates. they are now sitting in europe, but someone is in jail to see the difference. anyone who believed nevada, these notes risk of criminal prosecution and no one will remember them when they will be put in jail and see, this is a big deal because these words were written by a person who once was well until now really was election of on these personal dr. i'm a to see of see where she even came to visit and try to visit, elects in a volley as he was serving the what his term and one of russia's penal colonies following his complaints about the quality of medical help that he was getting

there. so she was one while she was definitely one of the closest allies in the volunteer. well, in the valley's political organization, again, she never, she officially, she's never had any ties to the volleys political wing that he had created. but she had very, very close ties, like for example, election of all these fund helped them create the signature design for this doctors union. on top of that, the, the election of all his legal department initially did the bidding for the doctor for this doctor's alliance until they got their own department and formed their own department, hired their own lewis. and again, so to see what was election of on these personal dr. and she was, she was boosted into media prominence through alex and of only so now she's making a very strong accusation. and it is a very big ally, and a very big while to lose for election, of only to lose for this fund that has been branded a and a for an agent. and there has been branded as an extremist by the russian

government. so it is a big ally to lose for the valley and his people. a lot of our news updates for knows more great programs, right ahead. but that's the help of the our neil harvey from sir election coverage . there he is getting his rehearsal in with his coat. it's a bit nippy on top of the hotel or on the eve of russia's parliamentary will join him, join the team from our studio overlooking moscow was ready for my for the i when i was the wrong. when all just don't the rules. yes. to shape out.
