4:00 pm
doctor, because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out right off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it, then that person is not going to buy it. the french defense ministry says nato partners will revise the strategic concept to be alliance following a route over a recently signed security deal between the u. s. u k. and australia which left bronze out also ahead despite record to you energy prices and a huge short for the supply block is slapping fines on poland for using coal. and it's also blaming russia for the gas price crisis. gas rubber, bullets and hundreds of arrests follow chaos as melbourne's war memorial. that protests continue and australia against cobit vaccine laws for a 3rd day. ah,
4:01 pm
hello life from moscow. this is our the international world news at 11 non cold embrace. first developments in the route between the u. s. and francis, the new anglo american australian security deal takes a new twist. with the french defense ministry, now saying that nato partners have agreed to rethink the strategic crux of the alliance. the reason for nato's existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind the united states off. therefore, our partners decided on our initiative as well as on the initiative of germany to revise the strategic concept of the alliance. being allies does not mean being hostage to the interests of another country. there's been interesting developments in the worsening relations with france and the united states, the u. k. and australia over the new security pact will recall how boris johnson
4:02 pm
recently said that france needs to quote, get a grip. i just think it's time for some of our dearest friends around the world to pony our grip. about all this done in the break. because this is fundamentally a, a great step forward for global security. it's 3 very like minded allies, standing shoulder to shoulder, creating a new partnership for the sharing of technology. it is not exclusive, i did not trying to, to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china now the spat between france and the united states took an interesting turn when joe biden spoke to the un general assembly. and following that, the pre recorded address that was scheduled from french president mc crohn was cancelled. the french president will not be addressing the un general assembly. that'll be the 1st time that the french president has not addressed the u. n. g,
4:03 pm
a since 2005. we also understand that the french minister of defense that she canceled her meeting with her british counterpart, we now understand the latest news seems to be that there has been a phone call that took place between joe biden and french president mc crohn in that phone call they exchanged concerns and they intend to try and improve relations. there's going to be a meeting at the end of october between the 2 leaders aimed at improving things and moving ahead. what the falling out seems to be rather intense. now the issue at hand is the fact that the united states put together the office pact, australia, the united kingdom and the united states have entered this security pack and that canceled a very lucrative deal on the part of france to supply australia with diesel electric submarines that canceled it cost a lot of money for france. quite interesting that as we see the united states
4:04 pm
fighting with countries around the world, we see the united states having a worsening relationship with china. and now a worsening relationship with france that joe biden, when he spoke to the un general assembly, he talked about a new era of global cooperation. all of the major powers of the world have a duty in my view to carefully manage their relationships. so we do not chip from responsible competition to conflict. we are not seeking a new cold war world wide it in the rigid blocks. the united states is ready to work with any nation will stand up for our allies in our friends and oppose attempts by stronger countries and dominate weaker ones. so if the nato alliance is up for being revised, that begs the question of what other alliances and what other concepts and u. s. foreign policy might also be up for being revised
4:05 pm
a lot of interesting turns here. many developments that were not widely expected. last, our political analyst chris boundary told me that he's confident that nato has changed . this new trillion is very clearly. i know what you build up in the pacific nuclear submarines which bank what the submarines are going to be on way. clearly a china and i think france and germany, i've got a cold feet over this face or has rather changed in the face organization concerned with protecting western europe in the north. that one thing i did was in the cold posts, 945 cold war. those a long gone britain is always a little bit more trusted, always a little bit more special. i don't exaggerate the special relationship based for the choice in france and britain. i think it is, because those are the brits taliban has appointed an afghan delegate to the united
4:06 pm
nations even though the u. n. still has one in place from the previous administration. the movement says it's alerted the body's secretary general of the change when i get the reports from cobbled. the united nations now faces an incredibly difficult decision because any choice that they make is fraud with political risk. the taliban argument essentially is the person that is the un representative of, of, of galveston has no credibility. because the person who appointed him, the former president of kinda thought fled the country resigned and his government collapsed. he is no longer recognized as the legitimate floyd. nevertheless, recognizing the taliban now might send all the messages because the international community had come together in their appeal to the taliban to make any government. 3 that they formed that they announced to be inclusive, the taliban chose to chose to ignore those appeals. the gun that they announced was
4:07 pm
packed with terror released individuals in hard line islamist. no women in it, hardly any representatives of minorities. there is also the fact that if the, if the taliban is representative, is announced to quickly, barely a month since they took over. again, i thought it may send the wrong message to the other millicent, fractions of the world. but if you take over a country with violence violent offensives, that international recognition is sure to follow, which is something perhaps that the un and if member states don't want a message that they don't want to send out that there is also the flip side that refusing to engage with the taliban will side live the taliban from international markets from international politics, international funding, as well as humanitarian assistance. if may force them to continue with exporting hair with and opium, the majority of which worldwide is
4:08 pm
a source here in canada stock. it may also encourage the taliban to, to go back and it's promises to the international community. make sure that no terrorists make a guy just on their home. again, they may allow icon to back in. they may radicalize even further, but it may also work in the humanitarian situation here. and i've got to stop because if no one talks to the taliban, this will be incredibly difficult to organize humanitarian assistance which is desperately needed here. and i've got to stop as for which way or when the united nations will decide, well, they have a special committee, the credentials committee, which, which decides on the sorts of disputes it is made up of russia, china, the united states, sweden as well as 5 other nations it is doubtful whether they'll meet before the 27th of september when the african representative is supposed to speak before the us. usually they, they put the,
4:09 pm
they put the decision to the un general assembly for a public vote on the issue. but we will have to wait and see where the person speaking for a dentist on will be the relic of the past regime with, with little influence on the affairs or in guest on, on the ground or whether it will be a taliban representative. the representative of a movement that is still considered a terrorist organization by many countries in the world. well beyond the politics, trying to prevent canister descending into being the world. terrorism epicenter is still very much a global headache. now, britain's asking for russia to sign up to help the case new foreign secretary says she wants moscow as a member of the permanent fund and 5 members of the un security council to help solve ongoing issues in afghanistan. but also me in my yemen. and to great if we want to avoid of dentist and becoming a having for global terror than the international community,
4:10 pm
including russia and china needs to act as one and it's engagement with the taliban . well, that appeal for help comes weeks after the british government was ridiculed for its approach to the afghan crisis. let's trust his predecessor is foreign circuitry refused to return from holiday to handle the withdrawal. and now the defense chief to appears to have gone back on the prime minister's pledge to help afghans who assisted the gay in the wall that was submitted to parliament that they'll now not be able to get everyone out. it's not possible for us to bring out everybody who had a connection with the, with the u. k. forces onto the ira scheme. 1000 afghans have been evacuated by the u. k. but that still leaves more than a 1000 in the country who are eligible for evacuation. a former interpreter told us that it's just the latest betrayal. there were failures in different levels. first of all, the government failed to process their documents in time than with
4:11 pm
the evacuation process. israel to create some sort of procedures in place where to prioritize the interpreters and those partners of the you could go from and whose life for immediate risk to take them out. it was a kale situation and those who what even that called in for the flight could not make it inside the airport because of the crowd in the front gate. we measured it all to format u. k. army encountered terrorism officer chelsea bridge last our it's known, of course russia and especially china start. she's had a much more pragmatic approach to the rapid changing situation. rapidly change the situation in afghanistan, which means we have to deal with the situation as it is known as we would like to be. and i think it's actually quite
4:12 pm
a positive sign perhaps in some ways or surprising us to find just really foreign secretary is adopting this approach. of course, it isn't a situation. it's entirely in russia. china's cotton study alluded to have a lot of these rates. the taliban at the moment compared to the west because as we heard from your report earlier, is key to be established as the legal should we say governments have over africa understand example wanting to have your recognition under conditions from other countries. get nobody so far as fully recognize this new government. but the situation is that pretty much the whole of their country is under the control of taliban. for future they will be the government. this isn't the situation the west one to but i think they understand that unless they want a return to the possibility, the african stuff may become a safe haven for toddlers. and again, as it did just over 20 years ago,
4:13 pm
then they will have to work very much with russia and china that pakistan and other countries to work with the taliban to ensure that takes place. so in other words, he's very much, i think, incumbent on britain america to actually get on board with the pragmatic approach of russia and china rather than the other way around. how is the energy crisis gathering? pe, senior of the use decided to find poland over its major coal mine, a facility that's playing a crucial role in the countries energy security specifically ahead of the coming winter heating season. however, more source hits out to the decision and says, it simply won't pay the court of justice of the european union demands half a $1000000.00 daily fines from poland for the fact that poland did not leave it citizens without energy and did not close the mines overnight, it is judicial robbery and slept in broad daylight. you will get a sent,
4:14 pm
a brussel slapping a whopping great half 1000000 euro penalty for every day that the mine near the check border continues to operate. the find comes after 4 months of also ignoring orders to hold a tour of facility over environmental concerns. phone and da, gives the closing the mind would be a total energy catastrophe, and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs. ah, the supply crisis has driven up gas prices by 280 percent already this year. you governments from france to italy and spain are struggling to get enough energy to consumers with madrid now promising emergency action spaniards themselves. i would say the situation is critical, but they don't expect much help from their leaders in the way it most americans.
4:15 pm
teresa tan battle prices have gone up a lot. i spent about 300. you were a month from federal and another $200.00 tricity, which is half of my salary. our budget is reduced, so we have to make our bags will have to go without air conditioning in summer and heat. and in winter, i don't expect any support at all. we should be able to afford some solar panels to help our sell. because we don't expect any help from the government. we have not been able to pay the bills. we have had to raise a large part of our prices. what has affected our customers directly? if the price continues to go up, we would be obliged to speak with the owner of the promises can reach an agreement that will lower our rental info. and this is a last resort we'll have to close down. in the meantime, a, you know, make a blaming moscow for a gas crisis which is contributed to soaring prices, claiming the gas from isn't pumping enough, but the russian energy producer says that's got, i need nothing to do with it and everything to do with the block letting stockpiles
4:16 pm
of the fuel run out, the criminal spokes person added the russians, huge north stream to gas pipeline to europe will actually flash prices. when economist a political commentator told us that the whole situation exposes you, hypocrisy. this is absolutely a thing of russia for we have because i guess from was sending more gas to germany than ever last. it is now or shows now that it is deli needed and we don't know these things. definitely the, the problems are made in with, in europe and are not from the outside. i think this is the, the arrogance and the hypocrisy of the european bureaucrats. they don't care what the needs of countries they are, they get their, their salary any way. they seem to be an indifferent universe and we see all over in every park. they are putting their fingers in every part they try to regulate. we have the same problems with the european bureaucrats. and while energy bills in
4:17 pm
the small eastern european state of moreover are so high that some people are seeking refuge in germany before the onset of winter. here's our europe corresponded refugee sense it just behind me here. and linda seen a sharp increase in the number of people coming to it from all over the effects of the coven. 19 con demik. in that country, along with a big rise in energy bills due to increases in the wholesale gas prices of made conditions in that country, on livable i spoke to a group of people who come here from mold over. they explained the situation. some of them didn't want to have their face to seem on camera, so the winter is coming soon. it's cold there, there's nothing there. so we came here to eat and so on. and we'll go with the food is expensive. the electricity is expensive, the gas is expensive, the water is expensive and the taxes are rising everywhere. moldova, there is a quarantine flight of pad here. there are
4:18 pm
a lot of illnesses. we have problems with gas, with water, with food. it is unlikely that the people ice like they will be granted asylum in germany as well. dover is on the list of countries that the government tearing off safe and free. however, while their applications, the process which can take around a year, they will receive a place to stay and money for food, which can be as high as $800.00 euros per month for a family of 3. an average salary and mold over only stretches to around $450.00 euros per month, physicians in germany, a key to close that particular loopo. none of them will get to any kind of asylum, that's absolutely clear because there's no political repression in moldova. but they have found a loophole to get through and they using it. it's all duty to make sure this stops . they go mad. i spoke to a full of praise for the way they've been treated here in germany. and despite the old, remain hopeful that they may be grunted permanent leave to remain here for that the
4:19 pm
situation may improve in mold over, allow them to go home. germany has never refused to provide asylum so far. it's been accepting everyone and i hope that will continue their opportunities here, unlike him all. dover and germany feeds us. it's very good here compared with them all. dover. as energy prices continue to rise in winter is on its way more may well see this as the best option that's available to them. these are all over off the lid. on the way it's day, 3 of angry protests over koby locked downs and vaccinations in australia is the 2nd biggest city for the state premier claim to the protest as are genuine. and that they're just troublemakers spoiling for a fight. it's all next story when we come back, the
4:20 pm
when alex show the same wrong. why don't just don't the yes to see out the same because the after an engagement equal the trail. when so many find themselves well, the part we choose to look for common ground in the me ah,
4:21 pm
the all the hello again to got some rubber bullets of mark a 3rd day of chaotic scenes in the australian city of melbourne, where another round of anti coated protest took place, including its eye clinic war memorial officers, maple the $200.00 arrest across the city. as demonstrators continue to profit test corona virus jobs for the construction industry. the victoria state premier daniel andrews, branded the scenes,
4:22 pm
ugly. i think they were pretend, protested about punishment if they continued but organized this war and the rallies will carry on until that demands a mass, including an immediate end to the lockdown. no more moscow inoculation mandates and the reopening of building sites to the unvaccinated australian journalist of the former australia media lewis shed with some of the reasons behind the unrest. people sick of it, you know, after after $200.00 consecutive days in melbourne, which is obviously the capital of the most densely populated state. victoria, which has borne the brunt of, of the current of ours. a people have just had enough. i mean, i was trying to put up with a lot, but after while you got a cold, you get a cold into the problem. we think we've been around with, with the premier, daniel anders is that he actually missed quite a substantial part of management around the pandemic. you had a, you had a fall and, and was quite, quite badly injured his ribs and was actually off the scene for quite some time. he's now come back into it and people are saying, listen,
4:23 pm
you're coming back in to tell us what to do. we need to know what the plan is. i think the plan is more of the same old locked downs and they're not going to bear. particularly the most recent, since i've been amongst the construction workers were simply told, okay, no work for 2, no work for 2 weeks. go home. i think the feeling of this my country wide buddy, it's more intense in melbourne because the lockdown to get no been honda. i think we've had 1200 dates, a straight wide and 800 of those and been in in victoria. so i kind of, it is, had a disproportionate in victoria. they riots which are unprecedented here in australia. i mean we've had projects before, but nothing like that. i mean, 2000 protesters virtually shut down the melbourne, say big day, they shut down the width breach. this is,
4:24 pm
this is something that's gone beyond anything that happened before. the doctor, being sued under texas is new. anti abortion law is just the latest incident to test the increasingly confrontational relationship between the lone star state and federal government. his art seems to be true power. united states has always had mixed success when it came to striking a balance between laws and pose by the federal government. and the will of individual states in states like texas have long been a thorn in the side of washington, which just wants to ruin peace and impose its agenda without being questioned all the time. but the pesky taxes keep opposing federal initiatives. latest case in point, texas is now suing the equal employment opportunity commission, which insist that l g, b. c. workers should be allowed to dress, however they want and use whatever bathrooms they want. if the, by the ministration thinks they can for states to comply with their political
4:25 pm
agenda, my office will fight against the radical attempt of social change. these backdoor attempts to force businesses including the state of texas to align with their beliefs unacceptable. according to texas, attorney general can paxton the federal initiative, cannot be applied in texas because apparently, as he says it is based on a misinterpretation of current legislation. but while all those debates go on regular people and businesses, phil don't know which guidelines to follow or what the repercussions could be for following either of them. and if that wasn't already driving a wedge in society, there's also the never ending issue of abortion. taxes recently imposed a ban on the procedure throughout the state and federal officials are not happy to say the least in the wake of texas is unprecedented attack. it has never been more important to codify this constitutional right and to strength and health care axes . for all women, regardless of where they live, ban goes completely against the federal legislation,
4:26 pm
and president biden as also waiter in on sexes decision to go against the grain. this law, so extreme, does not even allow for exceptions in the case of rape or incest. and it's not only empowers complete strangers to inject themselves into the most private of decisions made by a woman and actually incentivizes them to do so with the prospect of $10000.00. if they win their case. in fact, that $10000.00 prospect has already attracted some would be bounty hunters, a doctor who performed in abortion several days after taxes imposed the ban, is now being sued for the violation our the guy suing him is admitted that he's actually just trying to see if the law actually works, and if he can actually get a nice little paycheck at the end of the trial, if the law is no goods, why should we have to go through a long drawn out process to find out if it's garbage. now all these legislative battles go on, regular people are facing
4:27 pm
a social divide in their everyday lives. in fact, according to recent polls, some 54 percent of americans think that the country has become less united since biden took office and 88 percent. think that the country is more divided than ever . texas is just the latest prime example of the division. but the problem is actually going throughout the country with some people choosing to follow federal guidelines. while others looks state authorities for guidance. but at the end of the day, all the things to do is bring about more division and confusion which seem to breed nothing but more and more conflict. radio housed and political analysts, dave perkins suggest the texas is problem, isn't with washington. but with the democratic party as a whole, not directly between texas in washington, it's between texas and the left wing, the democratic party in washington. and as we know that isn't the whole of washington right now. it's a very tenuous, tiny little majority. and so these battles are going to be fought,
4:28 pm
but texas is not necessarily trying to come down as the great safeguard of the rights of the unborn children. what it's trying to come down as is a state that has the right to make its own laws in areas that the federal government is essentially constitutionally forbidden, from operating in use for moscow. for now, thanks very much for checking in with us this our on call him royal. have you next update in just have a 30 minutes time. see it. me the the oh right now there are 2000000000 people who are overweight or obese.
4:29 pm
is profitable to sell food that is fatty and sugary and healthy 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 reason it's corporate. me . i actually don't want any day, but i'm happy to handle. yeah, of course. oh we're, we're not doing anything illegal. so this, there would be a law against it, but there is no law against taking food from the trash in. the stores
4:30 pm
are not giving the food away. the reason that there are stores just for people to make money. there's no announcement that's made 20 minutes before the store closes . attention customers. the food you're now looking at will very soon in 20 minutes . be on the curb. outside. don't bother buying it, then you can get it for free. so the reason the stores are uncomfortable are the management of stores to people who work there might be uncomfortable about seeing people salvaging good food that they throw out is because it might be a threat to their business. ah, we're rescuing the food. it's not like we're not scavenging or we're rescuing resources that are still good. i teach.
