pulling with such issues as illegal immigration and energy insecurity. unremarkable if there is always a single root cause, a party to blame. and that is russia also. iraq stepped out on the world to say to the big way ending its isolation. ah, too many social democrats to declare victory as the election results in the nations federal ballot see the send to less faulty. finish ahead of angular, michael c. d u which itself slumps to a historic low better late than never mediators finally express concern of a claims that the c i was plotting to kidnap and potentially kill julian sounds. legation is currently being reported by yahoo news. so they were 1st claims fund investigative journalists last year, including here on our i obtained an email. morales is employees who were involved in the operation, just not just by on julian astonishing,

but revealed that they had even been told to consider an operation to assassinate julian astonished the top dissident in the west with poison. britain's fuel shortage, crisis deepens with long tail by the federal stations. the government says that it is the public's full of panic. fine, ah, well, you can have you too. thanks for joining me here on our t and t. ok. the results of in for germany, federal election with the outcome set to determine who replaces angle immaculate, chancellor. and what would be the 1st change at the top since 2005? the

preliminary results show that is the center left social democrats who finished on top policy lead shelves declaring victory saying that he has now a mandate to lead the nation anglo. michael's christian democrats finish 2nd republic support for then dropping to a historic low this already calls from within the c d a for his leadership to step down after the pool showing. and then in 3rd places, the green party, which many now see is being potential king makers in the upcoming coalition discussion, correspondent peter oliver is in berlin with a full breakdown to devote him what it 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, would they, should they want it in the turn that they've collected the most amount of votes. it doesn't mean that they directly get the form of government just get, we'll have more, not just a little while,

jim and politics never as simple as that. but yes, when it comes down to clear when it loses the, when it 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 the mon, the chancellor, all f sholtes 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. and the germans have decided that 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, does 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 or the green party will also go down as big width is from this election, they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. there were

partying 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 on their bavarian since the party, the kristian social union, who certainly fall into that biggest loser category. 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? both, they still have a chance of that maintaining power. this is of course, angular merkel 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 bottom the sides because they 13 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 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 john baggage 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 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, is 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. i spoke to for me, you can lead to pull natal, who also served as in m e p. and was a prominent campaign of briggs that he told us the macros. legacy is a frank, should european union, thanks in large part to her decision, to let hundreds of thousands of migrants into the block. she's been there since 2005, and i would argue that the all up your opinion of 2005 was a far more cohesive block. that is now, she leaves your, which is divided your to whereby that a more you policies on the rise across the constable. i mean government, if you look at poland and hungary and you have your know where the walls are becoming the fashion, your guessing walls, erected in hungry up the boulders,

you are getting walls and serbia walls increase the theaters called because what people don't want to see happen again, is the my going crisis to happen then 2015 and 16. and i would argue because i know what you're going to follow your skeptic. erin, is the interesting thing about your medical. you know, she's always been your, your p and union. biggest champion, but the army of all, i mean copay, hail, legacy that ends up destroying the autopay in union. so the voting is finished in germany is the social democrats who are celebrating. but there's a lot of talking to day before the next governments formed, and the next chancellor confirmed. we'll make sure you don't miss any developments here on arte ah ah. mercer also recently held an election with the ruling united russia party winning the majority of the seats,

the votes and the control overseas. the surrounded it were among the topics that came up in a wide ranging all t interview with russia's former president. to meet your med vote, if he's a preview, is that and the full interview will be airing on tuesday. what do you in the loop 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 fight, right? everyone's sick and tired of the tech, including the united states, the big tech plays by its own corporate rules. they made them up and now that's how they decide things. they let some of the hook give others the chop. they blocked the former us president everywhere he had 85 or 90000000 followers. by, by why, why we don't like him. when i checked with the recommendations on who to follow, of course, the 1st person who comes up isn't a valid me who is serving a criminal sentence. isn't this interference in the affairs of a foreign country?

it's blatant interference. made your organization say that deeply concerned about claims. the see i was plotting to kidnap and perhaps even kill julian, a sounds allegations of appeared in a new yahoo news report the revelations themselves, anything new they add on r t last year. the article includes testimony from key witnesses on the c, i heads fury locating, so go volt 7 disclosures on the us intelligence agencies, activities. pompeo and other top agency leaders were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about vote 7 said a former trump national security official. they were seeing blood while it goes all the way back to 2017. when assange was 5 years into his stay at the dorian 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 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 intelligent service wiki leaks, walks like

a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. now if you accept that narrative, then assassinating julian assange could be justified, as of course, and offensive counter intelligence operation as opposed to just killing a civilian without any sort of trial. of course, that's what it seems like to see i was trying to do, but we actually ask them for comment and they have yet to to respond. we know that the story is getting traction. what's been some of that 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 a 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 i 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 an apparent ca spying operation against drilling the psalms when he was at the ecuadorian embassy and plans to assassinate him were kidnap him. so let's take a 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 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 in global director of global security. and this is significant because brian nagle has a decades long career. busy at the u. s. secret service morales is employees who are involved in the operation does not just spy on julianna's size, but revealed that they had even been told to consider an operation to assassinate julian astonished 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 cia 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. okay, speak now to fidel. none of eyes. he's the former council of the equity in embassy in london. any played an instrumental part and i'm telling that asylum for jean in his lunch back in 2012. great to have you on fidel. first of all, that information in the, in the yahoo news news report. i mean it'll show it to the other people. what about you? you surprise but i also price. i'm shocked and know because we didn't suspect of all of these. we always suspected there

persecution, the obsession with destroy and julian on week leagues. but now we have the confirmation of the extent of the persecution and even even i'm shocked. yes. if the see i have, if, if this is, these reports are correct? the willing to consider says, extreme measures against someone who's a money, say, a journalist, a publisher, what does it mean? you think they're capable of doing against their enemies? well, i think there are many examples of what the people go through history, but what this also confirms is the basically the indication of their political asylum. granted to julian, he was own way to write, to request protection from day one back in 2012. and the weather was absolutely right to a gun to the other side. to put that can,

nothing has changed seen. and now we are having the confirmation of the extent of, of persecution, but she was always running to the expectation. of course, why do you think so? it takes 2 measures. could have been considered. is that to send a message that nobody will be allowed to do this in the future, this will not be tolerated, or would it be to stop us on st doing more of the same in the future? this is more, more like a range and is also the attempt to set up a precedent and they have done it. they have already done it. what journeys will data now to follow such example? what generally would get now to publish the same things that i found on weekly, published if they see the extent of this persecution for more than a decade from only the decade. so they are trying to, to set

a precedent and it's kind of ruined him. you talk about that knock on effect, the journalist, why they would be afraid to publish sheet. i sense the story isn't. and yet we hear very little from those journalists. we know they're a good journalist and we say the mainstream media, let's be honest about big weston channels, big weston newspapers, websites and tv stations. and it seems that they're so reluctant to talk about gillian, the sounds you almost don't have to die before they'll talk about him. why? what i think is because julia not only expose the war crimes and the criminals. but julians also challenge the media and machinery behind all those rules. so she expose and challenge the mass media who were either complicit, who were not doing what journalist should do, which is challenge the power unexposed the wrong doing. so she went into

confrontation with them as well, at some point on one side, but on the other side as well. they're low for so they have managed to destroy. she's character to the same. she him, to the extent done, people don't see it popular goes with standing out for, for, for something somebody like julian fidel, i really appreciate your time. great. speak to my guess. fidel nevaeh's, former counsel of the kudos embassy the where julian was taking sanctuary in london . thank you. my pleasure. there's some for you. they sound business. a few shortage crisis is deepening. they're a long tail box that petrol station government says it's a public folk public buying. you that story, i'm or after the

join me every 1st day on the alex summon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then me the media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer. type relation for community you going the right way? where are you being that somewhere? which direction? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to this end. the so join us

in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah. the. the news. ah, welcome back is petro pumps run dry in the united kingdom and supply chain crisis deepens. the government's gone on the defensive down the street is scenes of terabytes and empty pumps, that petrol stations down to panic. buying critics so say for us, johnson should be taking responsibility because they say mismanagement. this leading to the fuel running out of the corresponding isa alley picks up the story. the family, a variety of reasons as to why you've been seeing the scenes over the past few days

. this we can just go on in the united kingdom of dr. as motorists panic, buying as much fuel as they can in some instances, as report so much 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 some 4 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. as for those who have been caught up cooing 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 waiting on the way to get just a bit, petro, it's really up. that's the thing 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. the, the any number, as my master's government has not done anything, the government isn't making this better. to be honest with anything that you've taken 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 if for the government's response to the crisis, what we've been hearing from crunch shops to 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 to contributed to this crisis by essentially staring the public in public by 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 until that cause when they normally would, then you wouldn't have cues and you wouldn't have shorts at the pump either. so it's not like we don't have a fuel than 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 pressure 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 will take them up to christmas ensure there are no food shortages leading up to the festive period. but for the next few weeks, over those who be facing the same type of ordeal, that even yours truly did having to queue up for hours just to feel that cause

a medical journal is come under fire for its use of supposedly inclusive language, an article and women's health, the lancet used the phrase bodies with vaginas critic say, it's the humanizing and raises women. naming women and bodies with vaginas is a new low all in the misguided petite of low points. you can be inclusive without being insulting and abusive. are we extremist for objecting to women and girls being dehumanized, are we really just bodies with vaginas to medical professionals?

just wrote the lancet to tell them to take me off their list of statistical reviewers and cancel my subscription and never contact me about anything ever again . absolutely inexcusable language to refer to women and girls bodies with vaginas. oh, dear god, you can write that and then talk about men through shame and the same sentence. i'm in treat. what do you call the sex formerly known as men? or is it only women that you are racing? well as the lancet comments on the reaction, they were apologetic saying that it was not their intention to offend anybody, but those stress that transgender health is a neglected issue. so just for lance, this child off loading gender for misuse of language early this year. so m u k hospitals told stuff to use terms which is birthing parents and human milk rather than referring. busy to mothers and breastmilk, and in the u. s. they speak and nancy pelosi announced the words which his mother, father, daughter, and brother would be removed from house rules and replace the gender neutral ones.

ok, i'm doing live on the line. am i podcast there right at lauren chen least have you on lauren, you've commented extensively about gender in the past. what do you make of this is a, it's a very respected medical journal, but the lancet. they've used biological terms. so suppose we, you know, we can say that's understandable, it feels like they were trying to avoid using other terms though, what did you make of it? well, like you said, the lines, it is a highly respected and medical publication. so what i find concerning is the fact that they are actually i hear we can see being swayed by audi ideology rather than biology. the, even the notion that gender identification is something that is brought up when referred to the word woman versus biological sex. that actually is a political statement. so even though they may have been trying to be inclusive by referring to women as bodies with vaginas, i think what they're sibling to, many people sadly, is that even though they claim to be a bastion of science and medicine and objectivity,

they are being swayed by the increasing woke id, ology, we see, perpetrating penetrating, almost every single industry. i mean, they said they didn't mean to offend by doing this. is this something that we're going to see more or more of the organizations or people the trying so hard not to exclude certain parts of society or to offend certain people that they push themselves into or not an end up offending other people? absolutely. and the thing with words is that we use them specifically because they have meaning there's, there's no way possibly to not exclude somebody when you are speaking. but for the longest time we understood that acceptance to the rule do happen. they of course, do not mean that any group is being purposely excluded. for example, of a doctor was to say that humans are be, are born with 2 arms and one head. who on earth would take that sentence to be exclusionary between people who are born with perhaps one arm or 3 or 2 head does. we know can sometimes happen with conjoined twins. it seems like this small vocal minority who insists on this extreme exc inclusivity. they are essentially trying

to bully entire professions and we see now that includes the medical profession and even as one of the tweets that was read earlier, pointed out, even though this is supposed to be about gender identity in general, i do find it interesting how often times the, the words are the groups that are being a race are actually women for every attempt we see to erase the word man or manhood or father, she would, there are 5 or 10 examples of trying to erase the word mother, woman or the like. i think it brings up another issue as well. so we frequently see these days when a person or organization says something that is considered to be offensive, and they can have often said it completely unintentionally, not meaning any harm, but nonetheless, it's construed to be offensive. that's where the counsel coach comes in. actually the most of the hatred you witness in an incident is coming in the backlash and getting someone's korea. and did you lance, it will feel a backlash on this. i think we're already starting to see that

a lot of medical professionals do hold the lancet in very high regard. and we've even seen already people asking to be removed from, you know, from their list taken off of their subscriptions. and i think this comes at a very unfortunate time because with the pandemic, we are increasingly seeing americans, especially very skeptical of the medical community, essentially putting politics before the science and the cdc, the f d. a we've seen flip flopping when it comes to code restrictions and regulations. and i think all this does is conjugate to the narrative that medical professionals, scientists, in general, are not the objective stalwarts we may have once believed them to be. they like, anyone else are, are able to be almost subverted by political ideologies. and just finally, we're talking about language share closing offensive language involves continuously . is it time for us to just, you know, rip up the dictionary or mostly and sit down and come with a whole new set of words that will not the.
