themselves off for a move on taiwan. i think that's going to be the big story. 2020 the . ah, the french defense ministry says nato bought, known as we'll revise the concept of the lines following a dispute over a recently signed security deal between the u. s. u k and australia left france frozen out and also had the spot record e u energy prices and a huge shortfall and supplied the blockers slapping fine on poland for using coal and is also blaming russia for the crisis. the rubber bullets and hundreds of red follow the tails melvin's woman. moral that says progress continue in australia

against cobra. the vaccine laws for a 3rd day. i why for moscow? thanks for joining us in our international. i'm daniel hawkins with you till sunrise. welcome through the program. the 1st developments in the dispute between the us and france. the new anglo american australian security deal takes a new twist. with a french defense ministry saying nato partners have agree 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 time for some of our dearest friends around the world to pull 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. we'll 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 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 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 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 friends and oppose attempts by stronger countries 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. but as i miss christ, bambrick says that face of the choice between france and britain, the us would always take the breadth this new trillion time is very clearly. i know what you build up in the pacific nuclear submarines is big. what the submarines are going to be on way? clearly a china and i think france and germany got cold feet over this phase or has rather change in the organization concern with protecting western europe in the north. that one thing i did was in the cold post 945 cold war dorothy long gone. britain is over a little bit more prostate, all with the, with the,

with more special. i don't exaggerate the special relationship based with a choice in france and britain. i think it is always the brits, the thought about as appointed and have gotten delegate to the united nations even though the un still has one in place from previous administration. the movement says, alerted the body secretary general, all the change. more garcia, report from global the united nations now faces an incredibly difficult decision because any choice that they make is fraught with political risk. the taliban argument essentially is the person that is the un representative of, of ghana start has no credibility because the person who appointed him, the former president of kind of thought fled the country resigned and his government collapsed. he is no longer recognized as the legitimate president of of got to thought an 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 hotline islamist. no women in it, hardly any representatives of minorities. there is also the fact that if the time, if the taliban 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 its members states don't want a message. they don't want to send out that there is also the flip side that

refusing to engage with the taliban will sideline the taliban from international markets from international politics, international funding, as well as humanitarian assistance. it may force them to continue with exporting hair. when and opium, the majority of which worldwide is a source here, enough kind of stuff. it may also encourage taliban to go back on its promises to the international community to make sure that no terrorist make up got it on their home. again, they may allow our car 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 tad about, it would 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 meet before the 27th of september when the afghan 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 dennis. thoughts will be the relic of the past regime with, with little influence on the affairs or in of dentist 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. now beyond the politics, trying to prevent going to start from descending into becoming the world terrorism epicenter is very much a global headache. now, britain's asking for russia to sign up for to help the foreign secretary says she

wants moscow as a fellow, permanent member of the un security council to help not only would have thought, but also some way more human and tig. right? if we want to avoid of dentist and become and having for global terror than the international community, including russia and china needs to act as one and it's engagement with the taliban . the appeal comes weeks after the british government was ridiculed for its approach to the african crisis. recently replaced, foreign secretary don't want to rob refused to return from holiday to handle withdraw at the end of august. and now the defense ministry appears to be running on the prominence this pledge, the help afghans who helped the u. k. the armed forces minister admitted to mt, that they won't 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 under the ira scheme, a more than 8000 afghans have been evacuated,

bother you. but that leaves more than a 1000 left behind who are eligible for evacuation. and i've got interpreter who worked with british forces, told us who's just the latest betrayal. there were failures and different levels. first of all, the government failed to process their documents in time. then with the evacuation process 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. there was a situation and those who, what even that called in for the flight could not make it inside the board because of the crowd in the front gate. former counterterrorism intelligence officer charles schubert says russia and china have a lot of leverage with

a ton of unlike weston countries. it's known, of course russia and especially china starts just how much more pragmatic approach to the rapidly changing situation. rapidly changes situation in afghanistan alluded to have a lot of the fridge for a moment compared to the west to situation. lose that pretty much to hold as our 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 possibility, the african stuff may become a safe haven for them. again, as it did just over 20 years ago, they were after 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. on the other way around, even though there's an energy crisis gathering place in europe, they use the saudi to hit poland with a massive fine for continuing to operate a major coal mine and power plant. a facility. the country says plays a crucial role in its energy security, especially with winter approaching. also, however, it simply won't pay up the court of justice of the european union and demands half a $1000000.00 daily fines from poland. for the fact that poland did not leave its citizens without energy and did not close the mines overnight. it is judicial robbery and stepped in broad daylight. you will get ascent the loc as imposing a half 1000000 euro penalty for every day. the mine near the check border continues to operate. it follows for months of poland, ignoring orders to close the total facility or over environmental concerns. all game, the closing the mind would be in an energy catastrophe and eliminate tens of thousands

of jobs. ah . now in the meantime, the guests the fly crisis has driven up processed by 280 percent already this year . you government from france to italy and spain are struggling to get enough energy to consume with, with madrid. now promising emergency action spanning themselves, situations critical, don't expect much help from their leaders. simply hamper muslim 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. oh,

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. mostly, 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 rent a little. and the last resort will have to close down e lawmakers, a planing moscow for the gas crisis, which has contributed to soaring prices, claiming gas from is not pumping enough. but europe, the russian, anybody follow say that has nothing to do with it and everything for the, with the block, letting spot fall, the fuel run out of revenue spoke 1st and added that rushes huge, no stream to gas pipeline to europe will actually flash prices one economist and

political commentator told us the whole situation exposes e 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. all the repercussions from the price such as you build in a small lease and you reinstate. of all bova are so high. some people seeking

refuge in germany before the onset of winter, europe, correspondents. with more details, 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 moult over. they explained the situation. some of them didn't want to have their face to seem on camera. no 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. dover is on the list of countries that the government here in berlin says are safe and free. however, while their applications a 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 moldova only stretches to around $450.00 euros per month. petitions in germany a came 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 . they 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, 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 while 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. and let's show you some live pictures now coming on the screen behind me of a volcanic eruption in spain's canary islands that led to mass about q ations. as a lava flows are endangering residential areas. there are concerns the erosion could last for 3 months. and as you can see, thick ash, rocks and molten lava had been spewing from the site and recent days, scientists expect more far greater if the bus opened within the vicinity. local officials have described the event of catastrophic, was ready to 100 buildings damaged in the full out spain king philippe, the 6th,

and queen letizia all due to the effect that area on thursday. most workers have been frantically trying to prevent the lava from reaching the see if it mixes with salt water. it could produce below in clouds of toxic gas and rubber bullets of marks. the 3rd day of celtic scenes in the straight and city of melbourne, where another route of protests against co restrictions took place, including at clinic war memorial officers, the same hall and $200.00 protests as across the city. as they continued to run against force, vaccinations for the construction industry. the

victoria said premier daniel andrews brought the seams ugly out and they will pretend progresses and vowed punishment if they continued organizes warn. the bodies will carry on until the demands of met, including an immediate end to the lockdown. no more more can can. and they don't collation minus the reopening of building sites to be. i'm not trying to straighten journalist for australia, immediate use with us on the reasons behind the unrest. legalistic of it, you know, after after $200.00 consecutive days in melbourne, which is obviously the capital, 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 cold into the problem is latoria with the premier daniel anders is that he actually missed quite a substantial part of management around the pandemic. he 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'd 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. it seems to be the plan is more of the same old locked downs and then not going to bear. particularly the most recent instance of being amongst the construction workers were 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 more intense in melbourne because the lockdown to get no been honda. i think we've had 1200 debts. the strike was and 800 of those and been in, in victoria. i had a disproportionate estate 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. so this is, this is something that's gone beyond anything that happened before. a doctor being sued under texas, his new anti abortion law is just the latest incident to test the increasingly confrontational relationship between the lone star state and the federal government . he thought he's mitree pow nighted 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 jacksons keep posing 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 budget ministration

thinks they can for states to comply with the 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 live 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 impose the 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

access for all women, regardless of where they live, then goes completely against the federal legislation. and president biden, as also waited in on sex 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. it 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

adults go on, regular people are facing 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 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 analyst a fucking this claim. sex abortion, texas problem is not with washington with a democratic party as a whole. it's 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 the ground anyway, in just a few weeks time with the you k use can catch up on the cause of report, and we're back in often our, the latest join us again but me the ah, with

me ah ah, i use are not about restricting, but that's actually a really good thing because the great thing about it being available to everybody think a bit more like a public knew the artwork advantage. anybody in the world to view for free ah,

ah ah ah, the news i'm actually return here. we're going underground is the 76 session of the united nations general assembly me to new york. i mean, it's to global pandemic of sickness and unparalleled economic inequality coming up in the show as britain deployed, it's queen elizabeth aircraft carrier towards china. it's a nuclear submarine deal with the u. s. in australia. failures in u. k. energy security at home and even mainstream media suggesting christmas could

be canceled. i probably, or the results of casino capitalism. and we ask the economists to help fest interest rates from the bank of england joined the 28th crash about china as possible lehman moment. and if you cation serve as a warning for other unregulated and privatized energy industries across the neo liberal wealth, all is more coming up in today's going underground. but 1st is boris johnson flew to new york for today's un general assembly meetings, questions were being raised even in washington about the energy crisis back in britain, arguably even more than the ever grant the property crush that hit the dow jones. so will there really be no turkey for christmas? joining now from newcastle is steven redman, the ceo of the u. k. energy supply green. thank you so much. steve stevens are coming on the show quasi quad saying use to come on this job or john, who's government minister. we know it's a british problem because even though the white house, the question was specifically a peculiarly a british energy crisis. i know that there have been some calls and some.
