also stepped out on the world in a big way ending its isolation. ah, ah. ah, germany social democrats, declare victory? does election results in the nations and federal bollet gave them a north lead while the party of outgoing chancellor angler merkel slumps too on historic low to coming up in the program. serbian tags are seen heading to the cost of in border permit, a dispute over road access. belgrade has accused world powers of turning a blind eye to provocations from the brick away region. and a prison probe and the u. k. revealed a series of feelings in the case of a teenage inmates who lost her newborn child. miss a give the alone and her cell overnight without medical assistance. no one

responsible for miss a care headed for history of a pregnancy. maternity services ad bronze field for outdated and inadequate, ah, across the world run the clock. this is our pleasure to have your company. my name's neil or top story. the results are now in from germany's federal election, with the outcome sent to the term and who will replace angular merkel as chancellor . and what will be the 1st change at the top in 16 years? ah ah and with all votes counted, it's a narrow wind for the centre left social democrats. party leader, all up shoals declared victory saying he has

a monday to lead the nation. anglo americans, christian democrats are trailing in 2nd, followed by the greens or europe correspondent peter oliver is in berlin. with a full breakdown of the vote and wanted means for 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 the form of government just yet will have more . not just let wild jen and politics never as simple as that. but yes, when it comes down to clear when it and loses the, when it have been the social democrats picking up almost 26 percent of the vote. and 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 the mon, 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 for 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 olaf shut, or the green party will also go down as big width is from miss election. they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. they were partying things at green party 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 makers 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, how to 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 know 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 bone, the psych book 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 seats in the next parliament, left party leadership. they recognize this hasn't been a good time for them. above his did. 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. jones says i gave the result 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 analyzed the mistakes we made. on the far right alternative germany, party or 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 germany 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 bit bo, it's forming coalitions that will be the real tricky thing. following this federal election, the possibilities? well, many you could still have a grand coalition that's between the center left in the center, right. that looks unlikely though. you then could have a traffic light coalition made up of the social democrats, the greens and the free democrats called traffic like coalition. because while the party call us other colors of a traffic light, then there are 3 different coalitions made up of the colors of various national flags of kenya, 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. yes, peter was going through. germany is not bracing for what could be months of coalition talks on. while that's going on politics,

professor burner puts out expects to see a less dominant role for berlin within the european union. given foreign policy interests are not dependent very much on who is in government. there is a broad consensus on the european policies in germany. i do not think that the big lines of german foreign policy will change. of course, if germany is struggling to form a new government, the other leadership road within the european union will not be played as effectively as angular. matlab done. and if you want to be a conductor off a orchestra for $27.00 different states that unique personal authority and without any doubt to the next job, counselor will need a couple of years to get as much better authority is going to berkeley head. so it will, things may change, things will change, but not in the grams lines of them foreign policy making. so voting on the current

is now over in germany on the social democrats are celebrating. but of course, there's a lot of talking to do before the next government and chancellor is ratified. we'll make sure you don't miss any of the days. big developments here on our tea. the 2 more world news now, serbia and kosovo were caught up in yet another dispute. this time, over road access service troops are on high alert, near the cost of all border video clip circulating on line suggest belgrade is sending tanks to the brick away territory. it comes after kosovo, ordered serbian drivers it during the region to obtain new license plates issued by constable to vehicle registration. offices have been attack we know near the border and the serbian president said the disputes been building up for a while,

but foreign powers have turned a blind eye. the complete occupation of nothing course of all in the matter. he jer with alma 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 in danger, 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. just some background here as serbia does not recognize its former province of kosovo as a separate nation and thus considers their mutual border as only a temporary boundary. cost of old una lustfully declared its independence from serbia back in 2008. almost a decade after a war between the 2 side and a nato intervention. roughly half of the u. n. members though, have never recognized kosovo as independent. the u house called on both sides to de

escalate attention. costco and serbia must find solutions to diffuse the situation and agree on the way forward, the e. you will actively support these efforts, both cost of answer be and lead as a fully responsible for any risks to the safety and well being of local communities . well, we asked her guess what is driving the balkan stand off. they believe tufted support from the west is encouraging cost to vote. to engage in confrontation with survey european union, western politicians, calling on both sides to de escalate. when it's, as we said, only one side causing the country, and i actually had a chance to interview one of the officials of our courteous party. i'll be pretty being the prime minister of the so called republic. also with minute you started mary's name with mit. it, that was essentially a colony of the west. and this basically means that nothing that costs more does is done without approval of the united states. so it's basically an issue where constable 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 chase, and they're encouraging the albanian leadership to the temperature so that the west come in, pressure serbia to lower the temperature. as always happens. this is one side, the leadership advised by washington behavior intellectually creating a crisis. so any concessions should be by then we should basically mean be escalation or that tendency to escalate in the why the show we have, i say washington advising the paintings. we have a president, would you say perhaps too much advice from tony lap so you will have western participants in both sides in a way we,

we have here just to kind of an elegy of little situation by proxy with the old news using performing they usually lean role of appeasing the empire. that seems to be around at the time and moving the program. i know a british prison has been hit with abuse allegations after a teenage inmate give birth alone in her cell and then lost her child adding insult to injury. it later emerged that only the guards, not the mother, receive bereavement counseling. afterwards. i

miss a gave birth alone in her 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 nurse was completely inadequate. there was no pediatric or neonatal emergency equipment in the prison. the 18 year old was in bronze field prison in se thing them on remind for a robbery charge. days before giving birth, she tool guard, she would kill herself if her baby was taken from her prison. officials have admitted wrong doing, said to an internal investigation is ongoing women's rights advocate, re severson thinks the head of the prison should be held accountable. this is more

of the, the horrors 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 found 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. new revelations have emerged in connection with an alleged cia plot to kidnap and murder wiki leaks funder julianna's sound. during the trump administration is time in power. it comes from a yahoo news report citing interviews with dozens of government officials for more on this story. let's welcome into the she do beside the know donald quarter at donald. normally when we talk about bombshell revelations, we get into the thick of it. they don't tend to be. but really this is like an a plot of a hollywood movie and goes beyond this. tell us about the, the reaction to what's emerged from this 1st. right, well, this report has, i mean, justifiably so outraged during a lot of journalists slamming. many of them are thinking, you know,

could i be next on the see i can list if i make some sort of report that they don't, particularly like we saw ca whistleblower edward snowden tweet about it. he said that the charges against julian song should be dropped. we heard from one of the journalists actually mentioned in the document by yahoo news, actually, glen greenwald. he said that the ca and now bite and look like there, they might actually be the ones committing violations of press freedom. and from the freedom of the press foundation itself, we had an official reaction. so let's take a listen to that. the cia is the disgrace, the fact that it contemplated engaged in so many legal acts against which lakes is now tried scandal, but should be investigated by congress and the justice department. these new revelations which involve a shocking disregard of the law a truly beyond the pale. ok don't. let's then get into the report. what does it actually reveal? well, it goes back to 2017. actually when julian assange was 5 years into his stay at the

ecuadorian embassy and that was actually at the same time that wiki leaks had begun . it's volt 7 series of document leaks that basically outlined cia hacking methods and tools and the agency itself, after this happened said it considers it the largest data leak in cia, history and the sources that yahoo news spoke with in this recent report claim that the director at the time mike, palm pale, was basically out for revenge. i mean, the cia and british intelligence apparently believed that russian agents were planning to rescue julian, aside from the embassy and bring them to moscow. and this report said that they were actually willing to have shoot outs in the street over over this over to stop that from happening. there was also, there were also apparently plans to spy on kidnap and even kill julian, a songy extra judicial li without any sort of trial. these were also discussed

apparently, and the way the agency wanted to do this was by labeling wiki leaks a hostile for an intelligence service. i obtained an email in which morales who does not speak english very well is giving instructions to his employees at the ecuadorian embassy in perfect english on how to set up a separate a secret separate video server to circumvent the ecuadorian security services and feed video back to the united states to the american client, this e mail was sent from an ip address trace directly to the venetian hotel of donald trump's top donor sheldon adelson, and brian nagle, who is adults and global director of global security. and this is significant because brian nagle has a decades long career at the u. s. secret service. morales is employees who are

involved in the operation just not just spy on julian savage, but revealed that they had even been told to consider an operation to assassinate julian. astonished the top dissident in the west with poison. now what you heard, right, there was actually an investigative journalist from the grays on max blumenthal who had published an investigation just actually in 2020 may of 2020 that revealed and parents ca, spying operation that targeted julie massage around the same time again done extra judicially. that is, you know, perhaps one of the things included in this yahoo news article that specifically talked about how the c i was planning to extensively spy on drilling assange in the, in the embassy time on. that wasn't give it a lot of her time. was it right, his report, right. it wasn't and, and one of the things that actually that the ca,

apparently was trying to the way the ca was apparently trying to justify this was by labeling wiki leaks a foreign intelligence service. and we can hear actually right now, the mike palm pale back in 2017 saying that where he likes walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. now, with more, more and more information spilling out about potential ca, abuses, and connection to the way the, the u. s. has been dealing with us on. i mean, this is really going to influence the way washington's appeal for extra dining assistance. because let's remember that he's still in a british high security prison. the u. s. is appeal to have him extradited to the back to the us is, you know, looking not so credible. it is an extraordinary story and it can be funded, yahoo news that full investigation that's well worth a read don't for now thanks very much, donald quarter. bring this through that. this is, are you still ahead?

french fishermen are up in arms over plans for a new off shore when form find out why after this ah ah, ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, for community. you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the

shallows. 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 in the in the ah get, let's start back in britain. londoners have been left frustrated by having to spend several hours waiting in line to get their cars filled up with petrol. the t o box are being caused by a shortage of learning drivers which has sparked a wave of panic. buying this, get more in this not cross to

r u. k. corresponding to isa allie. it's been a running debate. has this got to do solely with the pandemic, or is breaks it involved as well. give us a sense of what's happening there. while there's probably a variety of reasons as to why you've been seeing the scenes over the past few days this weekend, just gone in the united kingdom of drivers, motorists panic, buying as much fuel as they can in some instances, as reports a merge that there were shortages of delivery drivers, fuel truck drivers across the country, many reasons being put forward for that. and it led to scenes of people going out. panic, buying. we saw the kind of scene last year at the time that makes start when people were fighting and the supermarket isles over food and toilet paper. and this time, we've seen scenes of violence saw and some full court people falling out and pushing in front of each other and driving into each other. in some instances,

we've also heard reports of security and emergency services themselves not being able to access fuel. and as for those who have been caught up shooting for hours in some instances, to try to get that fuel, they say that these are not the scenes they expect to see in a developed country country. we claim to be and we have to be wasting your. i was waiting to get just a bit, petro, it's really upset saying that we've come to us to be honest. i'm quite low right now, is also, i don't know what the situation may be an upcoming days from now, leaving messages, the government has not done anything. the government isn't making this better, to be honest with anything. they're actually taking back. i'm any queueing because everybody else is giving you the on a, you know, i need to be, petro runs out, i'm gonna get to now as to the factors behind this shortage, all these scenes. well,

it started when the u. k. haulage industry said that there were tens of thousands of truck drive the shortages needed to be filled in order to make sure that there were enough oil time cars being driven to the full courts. partly to do with the effects of the pandemic, an aging workforce. but most importantly, the case breaks it that withdrawal from the european union, which saw an estimate to 20000 laurie drive as return back to europe. there are the countries in europe themselves who are experiencing the same problem. the government here pointing to countries like germany and poland to prove they say that it isn't the fault of breaks it. but so we heard from the petro retailers association, they say that 2 thirds roughly of the companies on the 4 court, for they represent off, already running dry and the rest off about to run dry. it's kind of exacerbated by the fact that there has been this panic buying,

but ministers continue to call on the public to remain calm and say that if they do continue to panic by then there will be a self fulfilling prophecy of a shortage of fuel. there's plenty of fuel, there's no shortage of the fuel within the country. the most important thing is actually that people carry on as they normally would. and that cause when they normally would, then you wouldn't have cues and you wouldn't have shorts just at the pump. either so it's not like we don't have a fuel in the current country. we do need to just ensure that people are filling up when they need that a lot. rather than thinking i've got to go up now just in case i need it next week or the week after amongst the pressures being placed on government a cause for the gratian reforms to be done. there are reports that the government will be making visas easier to access for those truck drive as a temporary 3 month visa, which would take them up to christmas ensure there are no food short just leading up to the festive period, but for the next few weeks all of those will be facing the same type of ordeal that

even yours truly did having to queue up for hours just to feel that cause. yeah, very interesting. you got that lady to say, she's only queueing up because others are doing it to her to see that confession. isa, thanks very much. r t correspondent in monday isa ali. french fishermen are outraged over the government's plan to install new offshore wind turbines. along the north coast, during a protest they dumped rotten fish, shut the doors of the regional maritime committee. the demonstration which involves run 3 on the fishermen, started on boats, then continued to the shore. the protesters believe the wind turbines will kill or fish stocks in the area and 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 when foreign plan saying

protestors risk leaving people with electricity who re screen them and it's nothing but the week of certain people believe in their local come in just without taking into consideration the common needs of our country was we do need energy. our society depends on a energy production can certainly create some disagreements. yeah, that's not going done well with the head of the french regional fishing committee who say the government is turning a blind eye to the damage the project will cause. i believe that this whole green transition is a masquerade, 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. so we know what problems were dealing with . unfortunately, they never listen to us. only we know where wind farms can be built in a way they 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 this year. well,

if you'd like to dig deeper into any of those stories, may i suggest r t dot com as a solid starting paddle was fresh content, lively discussion to be fun there to bye for night. oh, i use in many countries in the western world are grappling with such issues as illegal immigration in energy insecurity. unremarkable if there is always a single root cause, a party to blame. and that is russia also stepped out on the world in a big way, ending its isolation rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those with the in

me the dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, the news. i'm sure it says here we're going underground broadcasting.
