ah ah, this is ours. headline stories, germany, social democrats, declare victory. the election results in the nation federal ballot see the center last party, finish ahead of angle at merkel c d u, which itself slumps. historic low better late than never media, i believe finally, express concern over claims the cia was floating to kidnap on potentially assassinate juliana firms. allegations currently being reported by yahoo news. so they were fresh their investigative journalists last year, including here on r t. i obtained an email morales is employees who are involved in the operations is not just bio and julian,

but revealed that they had even been told to consider operation to assassinate julian, us on the top visit in the west with poison britain. fuel shortage, crisis deepens with long tail barracks at central stations. the u. k. government said it's the public fault for public buying ah, for moscow to the world, this is our t thanks for choosing hearty for your global news update this our, our top story. the results are in from germany's federal election with the outcome set to determine just to replace and go to merkel is chancellor in what will be the 1st change up the top since 2005 the

preliminary results show that it's the center left social democrats who come out on top part a leader love show south declared victory thing. he has a mandate to lead the nation and go to merkel. christian democrats finter 2nd with public support for them dropping to on historic low. there is already calls, in fact from within the c d u, for its leadership to step down after that per showing in 3rd place the greens, which many now i see is potential king makers in the upcoming coalition talks or europe correspondent peter oliver is in berlin. with a full breakdown of the vote, and one of the 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, how would they select, 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 get, we'll have more. not just that while jim and politics never as simple as that, but yes, when it comes down to clear when it and loses, the winners 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 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. give me a call about the election results. london. germans have decided to talk social democrats after all, no way to make success. hi, this will be a lonely lecture for sure. but what for certain as well, is that many germany bancroft to be because they want to change in the government.

and because they want the chancellor of this country to be like, well, the green policy will also go down as big with as from this election, they put on an extra 5.8 percent for what they've posted back in 2017. there were coffee and things that 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 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, they're very insist 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 happened within the center. right. but they still have a chance of rain taking power. this is of course, angular merkel policy or was angular merkel part of 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 side book because they won 3 constituencies outright. what that means is they have to wait on the, 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 hasn't been a good time for the above has the it, it's clear that this was a punch in the gut and it really hurts. so much, and of course we lost massively. anything else would be unrealistic to claim. gonzagos always says i gave him the results we will achieve nationwide is disastrous unless there is no need to discuss it at all. we'll 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. on the far 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 japanese 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, is the easy bit bo, it's forming coalitions that will be the real tricky thing. following this federal election, the possibilities? well, many you can 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 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, a miracle? yeah, a lot of wrangling. ahead and throw today. we have been hearing from a number of german experts who told us merkle, c d, u was stuck in its ways for too long. now that's precisely that which brought about their fall from grace. after 16 years of angle, americas chancellor ship, the christian democrats were not able to so an own profile in terms of policy change and stability. so the problem here was really that they voted twice in favor to continue with and gala america's

a chance once when they voted for the party leadership and 2nd for the candidate for the federal election. and both times they more or less were backwards oriented and not fall but oriented. and so more or less it was a decline which was that has been too much old fashioned kind of policy work. all in particular with the conservatives. i'm in the way and get america managed. this country was very i'll punch in mystic way on one hand. and basically she never allowed other persons. so grew up next, sitting next to her. and i think the people were fed up with the system because it was not really generating new policies, giving and you impact policies, but rather to sit out problems and nothing people are born with that the c d. u, under the rule of gala merkel is adopted so many positions of the social democrats

of the green parties. the christian democrats have cockpit to put a, the right way, social democratic and grim policies. that motors now have the impression, well, why don't you vote for the regional or not only for the christian democrats as a copy of these policies? so voting is over in germany, and it's the social democrats who are celebrating. but there's a lot of talking to do before the next government cindy. the next chancellor is confirmed. we'll make sure you don't miss any of the days. big developments here on our team. ah, ah. media outlets say they're deeply concerned over claims. the ca was plotting to kidnap and perhaps kill julian assange, a new yahoo article includes testimony from key witnesses on the ca had fury wiki

league, so called volt 7 disclosures on the u. s. by agencies, activities. while it goes all the way back to 2017, when assange was 5 years into his stay at the echo dory and embassy in london. and that was also when wiki leaks began. publishing its volt 7 documents, a series of document leaks, exposing the methods and tools that they use in terms of computer hacking. now, the agency considers this its largest data loss in ca, history, and according to the sources that yahoo new spoke with. they claim that the then head of the cia might, palm pale, was basically out for revenge. i mean, it talks about how the cia and british should tell intelligence believes that russian agents had come come up with a plan to rescue julian songs and bring him to moscow. and it also talks about how these western intelligence agencies were ready for shoot outs in the street to prevent this from happening. there were also plans to spy on kidnap and even kill

julian songs without any sort of trial. that would be, these plans were being fleshed out and talked about in the ca, apparently. and also the had, like i said, mike, palm pale. he apparently was willing to justify this by calling wiki leaks a hostile foreign intelligence service wiki leaks, walks like a hostile, intelligent service, and talks like a hostile intelligence service. now if you accept that narrative than assassinating julian assange could be justified, as of course, an offensive counter intelligence operation as opposed to just killing a civilian without any further trial. of course, that's what it seems like to see i was trying to do, but we actually ask them for comments and they have yet to respond. we know the, the stories getting traction. what's been some of the reaction? the whole idea itself is pretty outrageous. and the biggest kind of reaction has come, particularly from journalists and whistleblowers, who are, i think a lot of them are thinking, you know, could i be next on the sea ice kill list?

if i make some sort of report that the agency doesn't like very much, i mean we heard from ca, whistleblower edward snowden. he said that the charges need to be dropped against the psalms because he wasn't given any sort of judicial process in the c. i was already having plans to kill him. one of the other journalists that was actually mentioned in the yahoo news article said that the cia and now biden are looking like the ones responsible for, for offences against press freedom. and we also heard an official reaction actually from the freedom of the press foundations. the ca is the disgrace. the fact that it contemplated engaged in so many illegal acts against wicker 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. but we should reiterate, this is not the 1st time we've heard or been speaking about. indeed these allegations. yeah, actually investigative journalist at the grace own max blumenthal,

he had already published an investigation earlier that revealed and apparently a spying operation against julie massage when he was at the ecuadorian embassy and plans to assassinate him or kidnap him. so let's take listen to actually the interview that we did with him 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 email was set 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 julia innocence, the top dissident in the west with poison. with more and more information being published and being, you know, and people knowing about this about possible ca, abuses when it comes to their, their dealings with drilling assange. i mean, it's definitely going to take away credibility from the, from washington's attempt at appealing for his extradition. to the united states, let's bring you to the u. k. whereas petro pumps run dry on a supply chain, crisis deepens, the governments on the defensive, dining street scenes of tale banks and empty pumps or petrol stations, don't panic buying. but critics say,

burris johnson should take responsibility as it's mismanagement village, leading to fuel running out. he said ali picks up the story, but 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 dr as motorists panic, buying as much fuel as they can, in some instances as reports to 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 scenes last year at the time that makes start when people were fighting in the supermarket aisles. the food and toilet paper. this time we've seen scenes of violence saw on the some for courts, 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 for those who have been caught up queueing 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, you know, sometimes cross country we claim to be and we have to be waiting here. i was waiting to get just a bit petrol. 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 than leaving any number, no matter the government has not done anything. the government isn't making the us to be honest with anything members you think of, i'll send you back i many queuing because everybody else is getting on a you know, i need to be, petro runs out. i'm going to get to know as for the government's response to the crisis, what we've been hearing from grant shops, the transport secretary and he's not been shy and taking a met. both the public for panic. buying is what he says is one of the reasons for

this thing. there isn't a shortage of fuel, but also the groups which represent the fuel industry saying that they too have contributed to this crisis by essentially scaring the public in so panic, buying. 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 fill up the cause when they normally would. then you wouldn't have cues and you wouldn't have shorts. just the pump either, so it's not like we don't have a fuel in the country. we do need to just ensure that people are filling up when they need to the law rather than thinking that it goes a lot. now, just in case i need it next week or the week after the amongst the pressure being placed on government a cause for the gratian reforms to be done, there 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 were no food short just leading up to the festive period,

but for the next few weeks are those who be facing the same type of ordeal that even yours truly did having to queue up for hours just to fill that cost and we have more use for you from britain to come later in the program. a newborn baby of an 18 year old inmate has died following a series of feelings in adequate care, the largest female prison necessary, and morphy after ah, driven by adrian shaped by person. those in me dares

think we dare to ask me. ah ah, the in awe just approaching 20 minutes

past the hour. welcome back. 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. it later emerged that only the guards, not the mother, receive bereavement counseling afterwards. i ah miss a give this alone in his cell overnight without medical assistance,

no one responsible for miss a care headed for 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. ah. the 18 year old was in bronze sealed in middlesex, europe's largest women's prison on demand for a robbery charge. days before giving birth, she told guard she would kill herself if her baby was taken from her prison. officials have admitted wrong doing, said unintentional investigations. ongoing women's rights advocate, reese everson thinks the head of the prison should be held accountable. this is more of the do a course 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. but 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. a sense of anger, french fishermen, or

a bridge over the government plan to install a new offshore wind turbines or on the north coast. in fact, during a protest they dumped rotten fish of the doors of the regional more time committee . the demonstration which involved around $300.00 fishermen started on boats and then continued to assure the protesters believe that wind turbines, hello, fresh in the area and damage the environment. just as the goal of our protesters to alert politicians and the general public that there's a danger to the problem is that they're trying to tell us those wind farms is if they were eco friendly. the truth is that they're not my senior, a french energy official has defended the wind farm plant, saying protestors risk leaving people without any electricity who will be calling them and it's nothing but the week of service people believe in their local community. so you can reach commonly what we do need our society depends

on the energy production can certainly create some disagreements on the head of the french regional. efficient committee sees that government is turning a blind eye to the damage the project is going to cause i believe that this whole green transition is a master race. environmental disaster again, the general public knows nothing about what's going on and we were in the see every day. we know what we're dealing with to see. unfortunately, they never let us only we know we're when pharmacy and be built in a way that dangers of fish. now the government is aware that there are protests and industry and are determined never let this happen, but we will fight till the end of this story. to bring you today, serbia on cost of war caught up and yet another dispute, this time over road access survey is troops are on high alert. near the cost of in border video clip circulating a line suggest belgrade is sending tanks to the brick with territory. it comes

after cost of ordered, serbian drivers entering the region to obtain new license plates issued by casa folk to vehicle registration offices, tact near the border. we know the serbian president said the disputes being simmering for some time. but foreign powers turned the blind dye to belgrade warnings the complete occupation of nothing course of all in the matter. he jer with armoured vehicles. my prisoner has been going on for the past 7 days, and everyone in the international community stay thunderously silent. individuals in groups whose activities and 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, serbia does not recognize its former province of kosovo as a separate nation, thus considers their mutual border as only a temporary boundary call. civil,

unilaterally declared its independence from serbia back in 2008 most a decade and a after a war between the 2 sides and also in nato intervention. but interesting, li, roughly half of you and members have never recognized comfortable with an independent country. now that you has called on both sides to de escalate tension, costs in serbia must find solutions to diffuse the situation and agree on the way forward. the 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's driving the balkan stand off. they believe tacit support from the west is encouraging cost to vote, to engage in confrontation with serbia. you're in union, western politicians, calling on both sides to de escalate. when it's, as we said, only one side causing the country routine. 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 married name admitted that was essentially a colony of the west and was 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, well, i mean, what seems to be happening is that things are too quiet for washington's chase, and they're encouraging the albanian, the leadership to up to the temperature so that the west can precious. so be a to lower the temperature as always happens. this is one side, the leadership advise by washington behaving unilaterally creating

a crisis. so any concessions should be by them. we should basically be de escalation of that tendency to escalate the why the picture we have, i say washington advising the ins. we have a 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 in the wake of russia's parliamentary elections earlier this month, r t sandstone, spoken to the chairman of the united russia party. dmitri med view of the interview . will beard in full on tuesday, but for now here. sure, sure tester would in with, you know, just to do you me a little during the 3 day vote. central election commission servers were under constant attack. according to the ministry of digital development rant,

half came from the united states. that's reason enough for a fine right. think, i mean everyone, the 2nd time you go, including the united a thing, you can always buy own corporate rules for the money. they made the money. and now that's how they decide things and they let some of the hook give others the chocolate, but they belong to the former us president. everywhere he had a 509000000 followers. by, by why, why we don't like him. when i checked with the recommendations on who to follow will of course, the 1st comes up isn't a valid name and he was serving a criminal sentence. isn't this interference in the affairs of a foreign country to them? it's blatant interference. the fall interview with mister mcveigh on to to and that is where we leave you for not needles here at the top. the with more in the stories making headlines this monday. ah,

join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then. mm. i would certainly work as well. ah ah hello, killing me because i don't want.
