and now there's no more bananas because there's no more diversity. join me every 1st day on the alex, silent shore. 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 top headlines here now if he is a national, a dodge court rules, it is acceptable for board of police to stop and check people entering the country on the basis of that skin color. you're on auto with, with the issue up for debate to codification of racism. i don't know the figures. i suppose. they are similar like in belgium, 6 of them. prisoners are illegal. immigrants are offensive. hundreds of health workers in france are facing prosecutor,

nova rom couldn't fraud in the countries the coven health system, with tens of thousands of fake documents, uncovered the u. k. faces a new energy crunch. has hundreds of petrol stations just run out of fuel, of correspondent experiences, the shortages 1st time we out to be sorry, out of these, sorry, out to views on every single pump. and this, that your station says exactly the same. also here with our teeth and national we continue on special coverage on the eve of germany, federal election. the nation prepared to choose its next john tele office, 16 years of an dilemma. ah, a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at the international in moscow with there just after 1 pm on saturday. here in the rushing capital, we do start with a developing story from somalia and there's been

a suicide bombing outside the presidential palace in mac de shoes. local media saying at least 6 people have been killed. at least one soldier is believed to be among the victims, but officials have so far given no confirmation of that. according to eye witnesses, the blast damaged several nearby buildings of the terra group. i'll show bob, it's claim responsibility for the attack, which comes a day after a suicide bombing at the military headquarters in the somali capital here on our team to national we are keeping track of the situation and we will keep you up to date for the meantime, on the program, a dutch court has ruled it is legal for border guards to stop and check people entering the country on the basis of their ethnicity. the case was lost by a jury, a man who said border police stopped him on racial grounds. now the netherlands, of course, is in the shape gittens owed, meaning people entering from other member states are not generally required to show their passports. i'm scenes. national has condemned the late,

his rolling as unconstitutional. and the lawyer involved in the case to the opens the door to what he calls that have legalized discrimination. the dis, issues. and at least he can still be part of risk profile, some selection profiles. we think that least the door opens wide or just remediation and racism basically every time that i'm coming home to my country and that, and i'm being stopped and the city can play a role. this is basically what the court is saying and to us is really shocked. well, i guess a belgian politician of frank crail than and racial equality campaign, a lead jasper. they both weighed in on the issue. hey, it's a codification of racism. and to touch. know how come want nationality by the city in the world kind of habit, mississippi is a category for mocking our suspicion amongst individuals. i don't know the figures

that i suppose they are similar like in belgium, 6 of them really are illegal immigrants for me to offenses. so it's normal, the police and customs, the more who know what if they want to control someone, maybe the blacks, the counselors, you think his anger, who his own goal or brothers, who are the reason for his problems. i wonder about the general trend across europe, which is moving towards continuing leaches. legitimize ation, all common race. the spirit lives through racial racial profiling through, through criminal justice systems. holidays indicate continued right, waiting drift across the world. these groups are there, there are parties more, ethnically less wing, and they have their own political parties. so the 1st thing that news definitely profile themselves into their own market was eating some all around the world

traveling that will have based on their mind as well as their residents, multicultural communities. so we'll have an impact on the international reputation of the dutch who are previously saw as progressive in european terms, but increasing as we see the trend to move right with your spread even to those most progressive european nations. really, you should look at your own community, you should look at your own group if they are overrated in they are so much in trying to see that it's quite normal, that they the police and customs are no longer than the security major. a lot of them, when politicians bang, the drum about racism, immigration, and the need to be it's often the need to be able to justify racial profiling and discrimination. i guess minorities is uses, the government itself is seeking to distract the population from more serious

matters. random in belgium and holland are full. we are, we are the smallest than the most public countries in the world. if you do like this, then it's maybe the best to make. and then finally, an end to political correctness and then saying go, don't go to them because before you stop, stop giving them money when they come in and give them the alls. and given the school's getting and everything. yeah. and it was, i've loved before the french authorities say they've uncovered widespread fraud involving coven health passes. and according to the national health insurance fund, up to 270 medics are suspected of involvement of that number 100. 38 have already been prosecuted. 36000 passes have now been cancelled, and people found to have given out the faked certificates of facing up to 5 years in prison and fines of up to a 150000 euros. anyone found carrying such

a document could land themselves 3 years behind bars and a 45 grand fine. we spoke with bruno mcgarvey, a doctor in paris. he said the intense pressure that's being put on medics may have prompted some to bend the law. if it might be asleep with the introduction of health passes, mandatory vaccination of nursing stuff and the constellation of financial compensation for court of ours, there is a risk that a certain number of people who do not want to be the law tried circumvented. unfortunately, just like in the general population, there are unscrupulous medical workers who are trying to earn money by fortune documents. firstly, it's a criminal prosecution for the documents face, imprisonment of up to 5 years. and finally, several 1000 euros after the uses of the state documents. and of course, even the medical workers in public hospitals will be relieved that positions if found guilty. it is just the latest in a series of setbacks for the french health service. in the past month, thousands of staff have been suspended without pay for just not getting vaccinated

. bruno, it may go to be again, the things government policies, a too harsh group that the big unfortunately, public hospitals are now in a difficult situation. this is primarily due to restrictive policies as well as financial management, and it has been happening for about 20 years in accounting policy and the financial policy to become the guiding principles in decision making. people are frequently to the detriment of the medical interest in society, which needs medical care and hospitals. accordingly, the number of pets and stuff has decreased because medical care stuff is the main expense in the hospital. and if you want to save money, you have to reduce the number of stuff the same time the population in france is aging the need, her medical services is growing. the number of destitute migrant persons of no fixed, the boat is growing. therefore, public hospitals are experiencing an increased load and the resources remain the same, or even less well at a time of a record of natural gas prices, the u. k. now,

how is it another energy crisis on its hands? a lack of truck drivers as a petrol stations up and down the country, running on empty as a correspondent, shoddy it was dusty reports. the u. k is running on empty right now. as hundreds of patches stations in britain like this one have run out of fuel. just to give you an idea this time freed, sorry, out to view, sorry out of these, sorry attributes on every single pump. and this station says exactly the same. why? what is so because the country is run out of fuel but because there's not enough was already drivers to get the fuel to these patches station. but as usual, the government's messages keep calm and drive on the advice would be to carry on his normal and that is what b p 's saying as well. well, he may say carry on as normal, but empty tank just isn't normal. phoebe admit it's running dry and hundreds of stations and now affected. we're even seeing cars back top outside, open stations,

up and down the country to get the last drops of petrol. of people go back into the panic buying mentality that we saw at the beginning of the pan demik. i just saw the big q in the morning as well now as well. and i was just told that there was no deal now. so i'm literally onto the trip tomorrow, so i don't have any diesel in my car. again, i am going to do that and i know what i will do. it was what yesterday. so i don't update either the few of the 2 weeks, but the price is i think you'll be fixed on it because i have to work with a call without work. without these i can go to work. if i go, it will cost you a lot of times, well before the pandemic, anything that went wrong in the u. k. everyone said brick set and coupled with kind of it, it's chaos. the survey shortage of laurie drivers in the u. k is following an exodus of truckers from countries who went back during the pandemic and stayed at least a 100000, all of whom drove trucks supply the u. k with essentially like food and petrol. and

crucially, they haven't been replaced. the government is came to say, this is more to do with the pandemic than breaks it be the rules my have to change to find the quickest. we have ample fields stops in this country. but like countries around the world, we are suffering from a temporary coven related shortage of drivers, needed to move supplies around the country, while looking at temporary measures to avoid any immediate problems. but any measures we introduce will be very strictly time limited. i'm sorry, things are in such a state will be all they may have to be drafted in to deal with this contest. but any one step won't be a quick fix, and the shortages in the supply chain could see more than empty petro pumps as the country as left fuming, ga edwards, dusting all t london. so you are watching off to national life and the russian capital still a had a few here on the top of a program with just a day to go before germany's federal election here. and we'll look at some of the

obstacles facing the top candidates to replace marco as chancellor story and many more in just about a minute's time. ah, join me every 1st day on the alex simon 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 this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer relation community?

are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah, it is good to join us for this saturday program here on teeth. so in just over 24 hours from now, germany's go into the polls to answer one very, very big question. who replaces chancellor anglo michael after 16 years? ah,

ah. on friday, candidates made their last bid to persuade the voters with riley's up and down europe's largest nation, and the outgoing sean tila has endorse her own parties candidate ottoman lush. it, however, the race is still wide open and would be chancellors from the social democratic party. or the greens or the rifling a f d. they've all been mobilizing their supporters. meanwhile, some you politicians have reverted to the familiar russia blaming. narrative, the claiming russian hackers targeted germany days before the election attempting to quote interfere in the democratic process. or regarding the allegations i have a closer look without the correspondence tusky or taylor germany, it's got a lot on its mind. citing gas prices a looming micro crisis, a proven to economy climate change. flash floods and who to trust office. 16 years old, only knowing angler marco, but those are non problems. bunny was

a mention. no, no, that's a much bigger threat. outta loosely, you getting from the gym government has reliable information on the basis which goes try texting to compare attributed to cyber actors, the russian state, and specifically, russian t r u military intelligence service. this is a danger to the security of the federal republic of germany. for the process of democratic decision making and severe strain and bilateral relations, even in these uncertain times it seems you can always count on the reliability of russian. because having elected form a tv stars and broken up unions apparently now big set the sites on bringing down german democracy. now historically b washing madeline cod hasn't been a huge success when it comes to finding well, sufficient evidence. it's all what, but mueller, all those in germany who in the last election, what's disappointed to find out, but so far, we haven't been able to track down any specific russian activity, but they did find a whole bunch of stuff from all right. groups in the us,

maybe the same group that michael's phone. oh no, that was the white house. so despite a pool track record of pinning the blame on moscow, given how tight sensitive bees upcoming elections are, it looks like the heck cod was just to irresistible for berlin to not play doh for safe measure. it's been combined with another headline grabbing favorite. this information from russia, obviously, there's clearly a huge demand for what russia is selling here among germans. and that by think across the west is deeply concerning. it's clear where this content is coming from . this isn't like a convert information offer. whether there's some partisan side that russia has spun up, they are somehow out performing most. if not all of the traditional media outlets. yes, all sr channel ought to joint isn't big trouble for writing articles. people can want to read. it turns out the beating the competition. i'm exploring real issues

that concern. real voters is very sinister, and an affair is bid to sway the vote. all kissy. it's sexual. lulu funny how tillman, media and physicians are constantly talking about a t interfere. it's a german elections. the problem is that they cannot explain how we do that. the need to approve their cleaned by quoting german special services. we'll say that we're interfering by doing live streams on youtube from africa on a protein. and these, such as live streams and real time events, probably the funniest, glean, was from the discriminatory. they say that we are interfering by mocking the claims between feeling accusations of imagining how the con story as all the time. it's only not troll, i'll troll and trouble brewing. it's always good to have a bogeyman ready to take the hit and the kremlin such a tried and tested one such

a farm favorite. now, it would be wrong to break with tradition, wouldn't it? well, meddling claims aside, there are plenty of positives in germany's relationship with russia. not least the strong rapport between i'm dilemma called and russian president vladimir putin. they have been through so much together over the last decade and a half. they have a very special relationship on friendship for that matter. so we've put together some of their highlights, the the the condo, it's known that the russian president likes to drink german beer and sometimes

there is a possibility that we can make exchange if i have also gotten very good smoke to fish. they said everything to each other's face, both had an open interaction, neglect in the common rules of diplomacy. in other words, at times they would turning up the heat. threatened to talk with each other than about each other. so i appreciate it very much. he's a very skilled politician, voice rates. good, really? yours and

i still dream of traveling through russia on the trends side are in railway. the or let's give you an idea exactly how this election will work. german voters do not directly choose a new chancellor. they elect members of the stock who will later pick a chancellor to lead a coalition government each vote who receives to ballot papers. the post is for a candidate in their electoral district and there are $299.00 constituencies all across the country. the 2nd ballot is for a political party and there are $47.00 of them running for seats. only parties with more than 5 percent of the vote nationwide are allowed to enter the button to start . now one of the contenders in the election is out of the free democratic party. it's a free market movement, calling for the softer migration rules for skilled workers who would receive the so called blue cards. the coffee,

one war refugees to receive only temporary asylum in germany, and they oppose. tax increases for high owners. the ftp foreign policy agenda is staunchly against russia and china with more details. now, here's peter on him. with no clear air of power into anglo merkel when it comes to taking over the chancellor's office, just behind me, the only real guarantees we have heading into this election when it comes to who will be the next leader of germany, is that it won't be the woman who's headed up the country's government for the best part of the last 16 years. realistically, the next chancellor of germany will be one of the 3 people. each of them know comes with their own issues. the outsider for the top job is green party candidate annalee in a bad book. back in the summer, her party will polling at the head the height of 22 percent. right now they've been peg back to closer to the mid teens,

while has been no major campaign mistakes. a lot of it's been put down to a general feeling of a lack of experience when it comes to senior political jobs and some questions over the figures that ms bare book has used when it comes to putting forward the green parties. environmental policies. by the year 2100, the sea level will rise by 7 meters. the sea level will continue to rise for centuries. it could reach around $30.00 to $60.00 centimeters by 2100 even if greenhouse gas emissions sharply reduced. and global warming is limited to well below 2 degrees celsius. then she managed to find herself in a very german political scandal involving her copying a number of paragraphs into her new book without proper attribution. but i take the criticism seriously, looking back, it would certainly have been better if i had worked with a list of references, statements coming out of the green camp in the last week suggest the realization that they know they're probably not going to win this election unless of course,

there's been a cataclysmic failure of polling. however, the greens all set to play a big role and whatever coalition in the ruling germany next. the man from anglo merkel, christian democratic union party, arm, and lush. it has, it's fair to say not as a great election campaign, the leader of the state of nor thrown west folly upset many well being caught on camera laughing and joking around behind the german president. as frank volta shine, my express comes stolen, says to the families of those who died in this summer's fatal flooding, which struck hard at lush it state. then there was the cringe worthy interview with child journalists. after the 12 year olds eviscerated the would be chancellor over his climate inaction far right elements in his party and even mister lush, it's functional for a cigarette. every now and again, the cd you money response was to slam what he called. clearly, koch children,

for their interview technique, anglo merkel, has tried to give him her blessing, including during the chancellor's final speech, to the mon, the stag that didn't go so well. the, the, the, the outgoing chancellor has stood by her man despite him leading the center right party toward some of their lowest polling figures. in postwar, germany that brings us on to the pollsters favorite to be the next head of the german government. all our show of the social democrats, sholtes is tactics of themes to take a 2nd thought from the old account, the talking one another, to present himself is above all that. and despite party policies, almost certainly meaning new taxes, the german people. at the final televised debate shoulders with announced the clear

when those polls seem more than willing to overlook more than one skeleton in the closet of mister schultz is present. never mind his past. earlier this month, his fine on ministry as well as the justice ministry was raided by prosecutors and made accusations that a financial watchdog intended to catch money laundering was well not doing its job less than a week before voters cast their ballots. members of the bundle stag were questioning mister schultz as role when it comes to financial mis doings after the g. 20 come x and y card. we have the next week for the 1st time, the history of the state of germany. i don't have an investigation. the public prosecutors off against the federal ministry. that's a look through the runners and ride as barring a major. ready upset it will be one of those 3 who's the next chancellor of germany, to massively over simplify. if i may, if germany were a restaurant, the recipes are going to stay almost the same. they are going to get

a new head shift. so, and it's going to be someone who doesn't have the same cloud in the kitchen and certainly doesn't have the same international recognition piece or all of our, our tea pearlin. we spoke with karen, can i sold a former foreign minister of austria? she thinks that her, some key issues are actually just being ignored and that's run up to the election in the german elections. i miss the real imports, the really important topics we, nobody speaks about international relations. nobody discuss your opinion yet. nobody discuss this, the future of the euro. nobody speaks about politics. and so it's rather provincial as to the lecture agenda. what i observed is, and i think this is also the ceiling of many germans. there's no interest in a car to match up as much more interest in somebody who administrate this. we have to miss macro. this will pop up popularity with not only the germans,

but also with the french. a lot of people have great criticising migration politics . i was one among those voices, but i think what will be enforced in more in the long run is tell you an actual decision on germany moving out the nuclear and doing this, the book with energy transmission. this is currently the real topic. rising price is this very uncertain subsistence in energy supply here. it's really too early to say whether germany will be able to remain and in the country. it's why renewables, why grid that still has to be renovated logic sense. and i think this is the real question. and here on our t international and r t dot com, we will continue our special coverage of the looming election in germany just about 24 hours now before the voters will be costing their vote for who they like the

most. our special coverage continues here at the meantime. union o'neil here at the desk and half an hour's time with more of your saturday stories, hoping you can join him. me the the look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders, given it by human beings, accept where's the shorter? in that conflict with the 1st law show your identification, we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to great track, rather than fear i was like, take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning the robot

must protect his own existence with the the with i'm action or see we're going underground on the evil german british doug elections . i mean, the new cold war coming up in show, as russia nod stream to pipeline, take center stage in german elections. and amid the nuclear rel between front usa and britain,

we ask germany's former permanent representative to nato. if the organization is dying and what can the bloody history of berlin tell us about joe and politics today, we investigate the story. all the small coming up in today's going underground. the 1st of the international community awaits tomorrow's news of whether more progressive government has been elected in europe's largest economy, germany, some characterizing the nuclear feud between france, the us and britain, the crisis for nato. joining me now from berlin is germany's former permanent representative to nature, ambassador york commits elect. thank you so much ambassador for coming on the well, maybe waiting for that election to morrow. i got to ask you, what have you made of say, macros? response to the nuclear submarine deal made apparently in secret between washington, the camber and london entirely understandable this reaction, i think, between allies and friends such a procedure is not at all acceptable. and therefore you have to see clearly the

reaction that's a over.
