the ah top headlines for the out here on the fi, germany, the social democrats declared victory as election results give him a narrowed lead. while the party of outgoing chancellor, anglo merkel slumped to an historic load, the scene heading to the coast of the border, emitted dispute over road access belgrade, accused as world how's, of turning up blind eyes are provocations from the break away region and a prison probe. and the u. k. revealed a series of failings in the case of a teenage inmate and lost her new born child. miss

a gave birth alone in her cell overnight without medical assistance. no one responsible for miss a care had the full history of her pregnancy. maternity services at bronze fields were outdated and inadequate. ah, 10 am here at moscow in a very good morning to you from all of us here at ocoee international unroll research. so the results are now in from germany. the federal election, with the outcomes said to determine who will replace angle at merkel as chancellor . and what will be the 1st change at the top in 16 years. the and with all votes counted, it's a narrow win for the center left social democrats. party leader laughed sholtes at

declared victory saying he has a mandate now to lead the nation angle at merkel. christian democrats trailing and 2nd followed by the greens. i know you are a correspondent. peter oliver is in berlin with a full breakdown of the vote. and what it means for the future of germany. these preliminary result results are written. they usually fairly accurate. we won't get the official result for a little while yet. but what it shows is the social democrats they should, they want it in the terms that they've collected the most amount of votes. it doesn't mean that they directly get to form a government just yet will have more or not just let wild gym and politics never as simple as that. but yes, when it comes down to clear when it's and loses, the when is have been the social democrats picking up almost 26 percent of the vote . when you look at the fact that just before the summer, this year, they were polling it 10 percent lower than not. but this is one of the biggest

comebacks in lazarus. and it's no wonder that their mom, the chancellor, all f schultz is sounding pretty pleased with himself. why makes you feel it's is in, i'm happy to see so many here today. and of course i'm happy about the election results . germans have decided, the social democrats are on their way, and that's a big success. this will be a long election night for sure. but what's the certain as well is that many germans put that cross next to the s p d because they want to change in the government. and because they want the next chancellor of this country to be our last shot for the green party, we'll also go down as big winners from this election. they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. there were partying things that green policy headquarters on sunday night into the early hours of monday morning, along with the free democrats to help pretty much around what they got back in 2017 . they look almost certain to be the king make is when it comes to forming

a new government. so those are the winners. have a look at the loses because whether our win is that has to be loses and it is the center, right? conservative union of the christian democratic union on their bavarian since the party, the christie and social union, who certainly fall into that biggest loser, cut agree, it's the lowest numbers that they've posted since the 2 parties have come together back in 72 years ago. really huge question. so exactly what went wrong. that's going to be a big old top see when it comes to what's happened within the center. right. but they still have a chance of that maintaining power. this is of course, angular merkle policy or was angular merkle, party the outgoing german chancellor. and no, the party going into the loses category would be the left. they dropped off massively from what they posted back in 2017. in fact, say they fell below the 5 percent the you actually need to get into the bottom the sides because they 13 constituencies outright. what that means is they have to wait

on by the skin of the teeth. the electoral commission has announced that they will get 39 and see in the next parliament left party leadership. they recognize this haven't been a good time for the above. has the it's, it's clear that this was a punch in the gut and it really hurt. so much and of course we lost massively. anything else would be unrealistic to claim gonzagos says i gave the results we will achieve nationwide is disastrous. there is no need to discuss it at all for stop. secondly, we should get out of the habit of blaming every one but ourselves. it is important to be self critical and analyze the mistakes we made. all right, alternative for germany party or f dead, they lost a little bit of the vote on what they put down in 2017. but what they have done is really established themselves as a part of jeremy political landscape. they're posting just over 10 percent in this

years poll, particularly showing that they have a hotline in and around saxony, in the east of the country, counting the votes as the easy bit bo, it's forming coalitions that will be the real tricky thing. following this federal election, the possibilities are well, many you could still have a grand coalition that's between the center left and the center, right. that looks unlikely though. you then could have a traffic light coalition made up of the social democrats, the greens on the free democrats called traffic like coalition because of the party coolest other colors of a traffic light. then there are 3 different coalitions made up of the colors of various national flags of can yet jamaica, or germany counting the votes. as i said, the easy bit, we are still a long way out for finding out what the next government of germany will look like. and who will be the chancellor to replace angle america. germany is now bracing for what can be months of coalition talks. and while that's going on politics,

professor verna pastels expect to see a less dominant role for berlin within the u. s. foreign policy interests are not dependent very much on who is in government. there is abroad content on the european policies in germany. so i do not think that the big lines of german for policy will change. of course, if trevena is struggling to forward you government, the job, a leadership role within the european union will not be played as effectively as angular place done. and if you want to be a conductor off a orchestra for 27 different states, then you need personal authority. and without any doubt, the next german counsellor will need a couple of years to get as much better authority as i'm going to head. so it will, things may change, things will change, but not in the grams lines of children foreign policy making. so voting is over in

germany, and the results appear to have victory to the social democrats. so here in our international we will be continuing our special coverage and commentary over the next few hours the serbia and cause of i will caught up and yet another dispute, this time is over the road access. so b as troops are currently on high or low near the cause of our border and video clips circulating on line suggest belgrade is sending tanks to the break away territory. at this comes off the cause of are ordered serbian drivers entering the region to obtain new license plates issued by cause a vote and to vehicle registration officers have been attacked near the border as a result of a serbian president says the disputes being building out for quite a while, but foreign powers of conduct blind eye the complete occupation of nothing course

of all in the matter. he g with armored vehicles. my prisoner has been going on for the past 7 days and everyone in the international community stays thunderously silence. individuals in groups whose activities endanger the rule of law and public order are attacking our state and disturbing the peace. they are clearly encouraged and supported by serbia. serbia is using the citizens of kosovo to provoke a series, international conflict. serbia does not recognize its former province of kosovo as a separate nation. and thus, it considers that mutual border as only a temporary boundary cause of unilaterally declared his independence from serbia back in 2008, almost a decade after a war between the 2 sides and the nato intervention. roughly half of us members however, have never recognized kosovo as independent. meantime, the view is called on both sides to settled down. costco and serbia must find solutions to diffuse the situation and agree on the way forward. the you will

actively support these efforts, both cost of our answer be and lead as a fully responsible for any risks to the safety and well being of local communities . we asked our guests to what's driving the balkan stand off, and some of them think the tacit support from the west is encouraging cause of our to engage in confrontation with serbia. european union, western politicians, calling on both sides to de escalate. when it's, as we said, only one side causing the controversy, and i actually had a chance to interview one of the officials of our courteous party. i'll be pretty, being local prime minister of the so called public also with minute you start married name with minute, that was essentially a colony of the west. and this basically means that nothing that customer does is done without approval of the united states. so it's basically an issue where possible does whatever it wants with the blessing of the united states and in the west says, you know, you to present in belgrade need to figure out a solution of how to get out of this out of

a situation that is caused by western interference. what we have here is a us attempt to up up the answer is it what seems to be happening is that things are too quiet for washington's taste. and they're encouraging the albanian, the leadership to the temperature so that the west can precious serbia to lower the temperature. as always happens, this is one side, the alpha and leadership advised by washington behaving unilaterally creating a crisis. so any concessions should be by then we should basically be de escalation all that tendency to escalate in the why? the picture we have, i say washington advising the paintings. we have president, would you say perhaps too much advice from tony black? so you will have western participants on both sides in a way we are. we have here just to kind of analogy of political situation by proxy with albany and using performing the usual quisling role of appeasing the empire.

that seems to be around at the time a british prison has been hit with abuse allegations after a teenage inmate gave birth alone in her cell and then lost her child. adding insult to injury at later emerged that only the gods, not the mother, received bereavement counseling. afterwards. i

miss a gave birth alone in his cell overnight without medical assistance. no one responsible for miss a care headed full history of her pregnancy maternity services ad bronze field for outdated and inadequate. the response to miss a request for a nurse was completely inadequate. there was no pediatric or neonatal emergency equipment in the prison. ah. the 18 year old was in a bronze field prison in middlesex, on remind for a rubbery charge a days before getting both. she told gods she would kill herself if her baby was taken from her prison officials of admitted wrong doing and said, an internal investigation is getting underway. a women's rights advocate, re severson thinks the head of the prison should be held to account. this is more of the do cars that we continue to see with human rights violations, specifically for incarcerated people, but also for women. this is

a common experience throughout the private prison that we've got to really get more serious about human rights laws and realizing that we, we owe each other a duty to treat one another humanely. and even if you have been filed to have been, you know, kind of convicted of a crime, there's still a duty to treat you with humanity. and that's not, that's clearly not been the case. and if there is such a large gap in what needs to happen versus what's actually happening as you have to do a complete overhaul for more importantly, we have to call for accountability for the head of that prison. there are certain protections that need to be put in place and they simply were not here. that's unacceptable. there's, there's no, there's no understanding or no, no, no reasonable explanation for how something like this could happen on anyone's watch or just don't qualify here at moscow. still become french,

fishermen are up in arms over plans for a new offshore wind farm and just opposite north coast. that story animal ah, ah ah, i what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation let it be an arms

race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk with me. the news i it is good to have with us today. the pentagon is still dealing with the fall out of a bush. drones try can cobble which killed a young family. it is the latest and a long string of cases over the years where a terrorist has been targeted by the military, but civilians have ended up paying the price. is richard met, host has more on the toll of drone warfare. on august 29 cus carried out a drone strike in coal,

killing 10 civilians of the of the family. 7 of them were children. originally they said it was an isaac k cell, but it quickly became clear that they had massacred an innocent family. instead, we've known this now for weeks now general mackenzie, who leaves us central command or us send. com, issued what is probably the most scripted apology ever recorded. he says that he initiated an investigation within 24 hours of the strike. even though the pentagon had immediately said after the strike that it knows of 0 civilian casualties. why did they say that then if they weren't sure, or if general mackenzie was just about to launch an investigation. even the next day when you sent. com said it was aware that civilians may have died. they still insisted that the strike was legitimate and they were certain they had disrupted an imminent isaac k threat because of a 2nd re explosion. this is what the united states has always been doing for the last 20 years. this is there war on terror? the u. s. life so much about who it kills? apparently it's killed the same people multiple times. now clearly someone is being

droned, but it obviously isn't the targets it's innocent civilians. let's consider it as a dean, how connie, the deputy leader of the gang taliban, and head of the hall county network. america reportedly targeted him at least 4 times once in 2008, 2009 and twice in february 2010. you want to guess where mister serrato connie is now. he is alive and well serving as the interior minister and again ascends new taliban government to the united states. killed around 82 people trying to get him all for him to wind up as interior minister. another example is based on my food head of the pocket, stunning tele bond, or the he could totally bond pockets on the c. i tried killing him in 2008. instead, they kill someone else the year after they tried getting him again, but killed 4 other people instead. a month later, they killed more than 30 people still on food. 2 months later, they killed 10 others. united states has killed so many people trying to get him.

that is actually too long for me to list all of the attacks and dest you the united states even targeted a funeral on purpose because they thought he was attending, be committed a massacre at this funeral, killing 80 people. and finally, in august 2009, the c, i managed to kill him, but only after murdering close to 200 people. so hundreds of debt civilians just to get one guy. clearly these are the standards, the general mackenzie was talking about. so tell me who is the bigger terrorist now? these are just some of the drug stripes we know about. just imagine what the realists looks like. you know, obama, call them precision stripes or anything but precise. what we used to publish figures, what, how the drug program works with suspiciously low numbers of civilian deaths. and when the real numbers were leaked by whistleblower, daniel hale, who now in jail, it turns out for example, during a 5 month period, 90 percent of the people killed by drones or civilian re. also consider that even if there were no civilian casualties,

right. who gave united states the right to assassinate people on another country? soil would america tolerate someone else dropping bombs on american soil? what happened to due process? you just kill people without trial. this is nothing short of mass murder. just imagine the reaction. if a foreign government murdered an american family on american soil, you would never hear the end of it. and it's vice that for once the mainstream media decided to do their jobs and hold the government accountable. but imagine how many other depths we don't know about. because the media abdicated their duty to the truth and help the government cover up the murders. 20 foster and moscow french fishermen are outraged over the government plan to install new offshore wind turbines, off the north coast. during a protest they dumped rotten fish. the doors of the regional maritime committee. the demonstration which involved around $300.00 fishermen, started on boats and then continued to the shore. protesters believe that wind turbines will kill

a fish in the area and damage the environment. that's the goal of our protest is to alert politicians and the general public that there's a danger to the see. the problem is that they're trying to sell us those wind farms as if they were eco friendly. the truth is that they're not a senior french energy official has defended the wind farm plans, saying protestors risk leaving people without electricity who will be calling them and it's nothing but the week of certain people believe in their local community without taking into consideration the common needs of our company, what we do need energy. our society depends on the energy production can certainly create some disagreements. well, the head of the french regional fishing committee, however, says the government is turning a blind eye to the damage. the project will cause, i believe that this whole green transition is a master raid, a true environmental disaster. and the general public knows nothing about what is going on in the sea. we, the fishermen were in the sea every day. we know what problems we're dealing with.

unfortunately they never listen to us. only we know where wind farms can be built in a way that won't endanger the fish, at least now, the government is aware that there are protests and the fishermen are determined to never let this happen. but we will fight till the end of the china is reaching out to france, seeking closer cooperation, emit a feud between piracy and is western allies over the orchestra security packed. the ortiz ecos down off has details. the new august security packed between us trailer, the u. k and the us was designed to counted chinese aggression. and china has indeed gone on the offensive a charm offensive. the ging is now trying to france who was not by its allies by being left out of the deal as permanent members of the un security council, china and france shoulder the responsibility of maintaining international peace and stability, promoting global development and multilateralism. so we can and should strengthen

our cooperation, which is in the interest of the whole world. arms deals on such a large scale or not conducive to world peace. we should not get involved in an arms race. a strayer is counting on the u. k to provide cutting edge nuclear submarine technology. problem is camera might be a century too late to britain's maritime party. there are real thing that we will life the capability to my time, the vessels, and that we will be increasingly dependent on us for the poor. the terms of the all because deal are vague with nothing concrete agreed, but it's far from obvious what britain can actually bring to the table. british defense resources are becoming increasingly and incredibly stretched. and i think many, even people who would support having a strong defense and you would question whether these are the best use of british resources even if they wanted submarines in 18 months time sheets and time trying

to suggested these new submarines and like to be serviced at least a decade the us, on the other hand, is at the very edge of nuclear sub technology. the only problem is it's subs. they don't come cheap. this figure will fall out of control. is a message saying that boy is the money away from real name to the destroyer has particularly and if you transition interesting climate trying, but also he can make resilience and also the actual living needs of many people in this country. so if a stranger, whose budget is absolutely dwarfed by the pentagons once to obtain a fleet of atomic submarines he'd had better start looking for money right now. the strain his decision to try and square up to china could some fear now lead to a regional arms race with other nations in the,

in the pacific potentially feeling the need to take sides many nations in the pacific. in the nature of malaysia and new zealand have expressed a the think opposition and sorrows, or real concern that this will lead to increase proliferation pressure, militarization and a lack of trust and confidence in the region. it's already been for in japan and south korea about submarine plate developing a nuclear capability, given a stria has been my finance since. and while china's recent overtures well unlikely to win over paris, france is alienation from allies over the security packed. it's already a win for beijing. yeah, that's interesting commentary at all to dot com. and there are pet section regarding this orchestra story more to be learned right there at r t dot com. the meantime, we are back the top of the hour with more of your monday headlines, the

gather, financial survival guide. i don't. why a, i by mom a few years. that's not an almost friday. that's the last time i buy it from the future. so watch, guys replace ah, with me it will work is ah ah no matter who made it because i don't want

the cards the way you got me. sure. it's under which way. it's not no mac or pc, you can listen. can you not leave to join me every thursday on the alex salmon show when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the who's with me. i

hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered on peter about. many countries in the western world are grappling with such issues as illegal immigration and energy insecurity on remarkably, there is always a single root cause, a party to blame. and that is russia also, rand steps out on the world stage in a big way ending its isolation. me to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, marcus, about the ductless in london is a historian, analyst and author of the book arrives. we'll see a return of russia to world politics. and here in moscow were joined by dmitri bob . she is a political analyst and editor in us, me, internet media project, or gentleman cross up rules and effect, that means you can jump in anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. let's start out with marcus marcus. let me read you a few headlines here from cnbc,

ukraine. now, now they've got video accuses rush of using gas as the geopolitical weapon. as energy prices deepens, very ominous. there. this is from the scotsman gas price prices with russia. vladimir putin in control of the bow importing supplies was always high risk. and we go over to bloomberg here, nor string to pipeline news. ukraine worries less about gas war about war. again, this whole story with energy insecurity in europe, which i believe there is because there was massive cut in, in demand during the height of the pandemic. and then when things started returning, there was a higher demand. so there wasn't as much gas being put into storage that we have winter coming or has absolutely nothing to do with the rise. but so ever but all of entered europe, energy both or somehow brushes when they were when the united states was against

nor dream do the would actually increase the amount of natural gas into the european union. what is new world is going on here? well, peter, i will start through a historical actuality, namely, bad relations between the west and russia. over many centuries have been characterized by a neutral suspicion and lovin. but what distinguishes relations between the west and russia now is that sedate weston allegations against russia are absolutely fossil. so 1st of all, western mainstream major is giving coverage and credence to polish claims. the migration crisis plague in europe is as a result of russia and bennett, russia sending the microwaves into you through poland. well, since when has poland been the entry.
