the me the, the french defense ministry says nato partners will revise the strategic concept of the alliance following a dispute over a recently signed security deal between the u. s. u. k and australia. the left front side also ahead despite recording u energy prices and a huge shortfall in supply, the block is flapping fine on poland using coal. it's also blaming russia for the gas price crisis. and rubber, bullets, tear gas, and hundreds of arrests follow chaos of melbourne's war memorial protests continue in australia against cobra. the vaccine laws for the 3rd day. ah

hello, good to happy with. this is now midnight here in moscow. it's thursday. the 23rd of september. my name is colleen bright. welcome to your world news from our 1st developments in the disputes between the us in france. as the new anglo american australian security deal takes a new twist. with the french defense ministry saying 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

recently said that france needs to quote, get a grip. i just think it's, it's time for some of our dearest friends around the world to pull our grip about all this. i don't wanna 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, 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 present, micron 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, 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 intends 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 packed australia, the united kingdom and the united states have entered this security packed, 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

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 ship from responsible competition to conflict. we are not seeking a new cold war or world wide it. in the rigid block, the united states is ready to work with any nation will stand up for our allies in our french 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

a lot of interesting turns here, many developments that we're not widely expected. well, talking to me earlier here on our team, political analyst chris bambrick says the face of the choice between france and britain, the united states will always take the brits. this new trillion is very clearly. i know what you build up in the pacific nuclear submarines which banks what somebody's going to be on with cool aim to try it out. and i think france and germany got cold feet over this face or rather obscene from the face organization concerned with protecting western europe in the north. the one thing i did was in the co post 945 cold war dorothy long gone. britain is over a little bit more frustrated over that with the, with more special. i don't exaggerate the special relationship based for the choice to friends in britain. i think it is because those are the brits taliban has

appointed an african delegate to the united nations, even though the new and still have one in place from the previous administration. the movement says that it's alerted the body secretary general at the change, but i guess the report next from cobble the united nations now faces an incredibly difficult decision because any choice that they make is fraught with political risk . the buttons argument essentially is the person that is the un representative of, of gas stock has no credibility because the person who appointed him the former president of, i've gotten a thought, fled the country resigned, and his government collapsed. he is no longer recognized as the legitimate president of of got a thought of any appointment that he made is now null and void. 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

that they formed that they announced to be inclusive. the taliban chose to chose to ignore those appeals. the gun that they announced was 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 me the wrong message to the other millicent, fractions of the world. but if you take over a country with violence violent offences, that international recognition is sure to follow, which is something perhaps that the un and its members 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. it may force them to continue with exporting hair with opium. the majority of which worldwide is a source here in canada stock. it may also encourage taliban to, to go back and it's promises to the international community to make sure that no terrorist make of guidance 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 type of items will be incredibly difficult to organize, humanitarian assistance, which is desperately needed here. and i've got to stop at the foot, 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, 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. i'll be on the politics trying to prevent afghan as time from descending into becoming the world. terrorism epicenter is very much a global headache. and now britain's asking for russia to sign up to help the new foreign secretary says she wants moscow was a fellow poet, a member of the un security council to help not only with that kind of stuff, but also me in my yemen. anti great if we want to avoid of dentist and become and

they haven't for global terror than the international community, including russia and china needs to act as one and it's engagement with the taliban . and the appeal comes weeks after the british government was ridiculed for its approach to the afghan crisis. recently replace for in secretary dominic rob refuse to return from holiday to handle the withdrawal that the end of august. and now the defense ministry appears to, to be reneging on the prime ministers, pledge to help afghans who helped the u. k. the armed forces minister admitted to em piece that they wouldn't be able to get everyone out. it's not possible for us to bring out everybody who's had a connection with the, with the u. k. forces onto the ira scheme. more than a 1000 afghans have been evacuated by the u. k. bert that leaves more than a thousands who are eligible for evacuation. still in the country, and i've got interpreter who worked with british forces 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 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 an immediate risk to, to take them out. it was a kale situation and those who what even called in for the flight, could not make it inside the airport because of the crowd in the front gate. a former u. k. army officer and counter terrorism intelligence officer. charles schubert says that russia and china have a lot of leverage right now over the taliban compared to the west. it's known that of course, russia and especially china starts. she's had a much more pragmatic approach to the rapidly changing situation. rapidly change

situation in afghanistan, which means we have to deal with the situation as it is not as we would like to be . and i think it's actually quite a positive find apps in some ways are surprising. it was to find just really foreign secretary is adopting this approach. of course, it isn't a situation. it's entirely in russia. china cotton stay looted that a lot of the rich, the taliban at the moment, compared to the west because to try to as we've heard from your report earlier, is key to be established as the legal should we say governments have for africa understand, for 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 pretty much the whole country is under the control panel for the 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 terrorism. again, as it did just over 20 years ago, then they would 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, robert on the other way around. now even though there's an energy crisis gathering pace in europe, the year was decided ahead, poland with a massive fines for continuing to operate and major coal mine and power plus a facility. the country says plays a crucial role in its energy security, especially with winter approaching. however, more so says it simply won't pay up. the court of justice of the european union demands half a 1000000 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 assent blocks imposing a half 1000000 euro penalty for every day that the mine near the check border continues to operate. it follows for months of poland, ignoring orders to close the tour of facility over environmental concerns. arguing the closing the mind would be an energy catastrophe and eliminate tens of thousands of jobs. ah, the meantime, the gas supply crisis has driven up 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 say the situation is critical, but they don't expect much help from the leaders. so thanks so much theresa and federal 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 on budget is reduced. so we have to make our backs. we'll have to go without air conditioning and summer, and heat and 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 and reach an agreement that will lower our rental info, and this is the last resort we'll have to close down the meantime, you will make a blaming moscow for the gas crisis that has continued to see soaring prices,

claiming the gas problem isn't pumping enough. but the russian energy producer says that has nothing to do with it and everything to do with the block, letting stockpiles of the fuel run out. the criminal spokes, personality rushes huge. nord stream to gas pipeline to europe will actually flash prices one economist and political commentator told us the whole situation exposes you. hypocrisy. this is absolutely a thing of brush up all 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 it's 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 of the repercussions from the price surge energy bills in the small eastern european state of mult, over a, so high that some people are seeking refuge in germany before the onset of winter. his all europe correspondent refugee censor just behind me here and seen a sharp increase in the number of people coming to it from them 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 faces seen 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 deal 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 life is bad. here, there are 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 over as well. the list of countries is the government here in says are safe and free. however, while their applications are processed, which can take around a year, they will receive a place to stay in 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 any kind of assign them . 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

that you'll read. 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 situation may improve in mold over the allow them to go home. germany has never refused to provide asylum so far as 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. they will see this as the best option that's available to them. these are all of her off the lid. on the way, day 3 of angry protests over koby lockdown and vaccinations in australia is 2nd largest city. the state premier claims the protest as on genuine, just troublemakers falling for a fight. it's our next story after the break. ah

. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me ah, with me ah ah, i use

the the, the, the ah hello again t a got some rubber bullets of mark the 3rd day of chaotic scenes in the australian city of melbourne. where another round of protest against covered restrictions took place, including at the iconic wall memorial offices, detains more than $200.00 protest across the city. this demonstrate has continued to rally against corona virus, champs. for the construction industry, the

victorious de premier. daniel andrews, branded the scenes, ugly, adding that they were pretend, protested about punishment if they continued for organized war and the rallies will carry on until their demands are met, including an immediate enter the lock down noble mask, and they knock elation mandate. and the reopening of building sites to the unvaccinated australian journalist in a former australia media lewis shed their views with us on the reasons behind the unrest. people are 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. 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 is latoria with bring the premier daniel anders is a, he actually missed quite a substantial part of management around the pandemic. he had, he 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, you're coming back in to tell us what to do. we need to know what the plan is and seems to be. the plan is more of the same old locked downs. and it could have been particularly the most recent instance of being amongst the construction workers and was simply told ok, no work for to no work for 2 weeks. go home. i think the feeling of this my country wide, but it's it's more intense in melbourne because the lockdown to get no been honda. i think we've had 1200 dates astray wide, and 800 of those have been in, in victoria kind of, it is had a disproportionate effect in victoria. they riots which are unprecedented here in australia. i mean, we've had projects before, but nothing like this. i mean,

2000 protesters virtually shut down the melbourne, say big day, they shut down the width breach. so this is, this is something that's gone beyond anything that happened before. a doctor being sued under texas new anti abortion law. just the latest incident to test the increasingly confrontational relationship between the lone star state and the federal government. his ortiz to mccree poke. united states has always had mixed success when it came to striking a balance between laws imposed 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 jackson's 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. its abiding ministration thinks they can for states to comply with their political agenda. my office will fight against the radical attempt of social change. these back door 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. texas 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 the strength of health care access for all women, regardless of where they live band goes completely against the federal legislation and president biden. there's also a 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 prospects have 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 knife and 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 while the legislator battles go on, regular people are facing a social divide in their everyday lives. in facts, according to recent polls, some 54 percent of americans think that the country has become less united since biden took office. and 88 percent thing through 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 looked state authorities for guidance. but at the end of the day, all the things to do is bring about more division and confusion which seemed to breed nothing but more and more conflict radio host and political analysts. dave perkins claims that texas is problem, isn't with washington. but with the democratic party of the 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, 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 and that she needs for. now thanks for checking in with our to this hour, i'll have the next update right here in about 32 minutes. see it in the me

i will i ah working room or should she popped in? she said, well, i'm getting ready to go shopping for christmas and we recently there was a grim device to another, shooting another safe part of american life. shattered by violence. the gunman was armed with an a ar 15, semi automatic rifle. when the issue comes home, it's time to act. when we're filing on this issue, the other side wins by default,

lady that lived over there. i was walking one of the dogs. she said, why do you wear again? were you scared? i took it off. i think 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 i guys are more of my guys do financial survival. this is a hedge fund, is a device used by professional county wags to earn money. that's right. these hedge funds are completely not accountable, and we're just adding more more to them. totally, the stabilize the global economy. you need to protect yourself and get inform. watch me ah.
