some idea of so revolution, no one's ever even thought of it before. and both of those are fine. but everyone should be thinking this way and a lot of people are, but they just don't feel like speaking out. and so that's what we're trying to do is to get the americans who are being silent, to speak out and not have those few people who are frankly, greedy, taking up all of the bandwidth of our elected representatives. morris, paul, thank you. thank you for being a part of the show when we back home. when's is the president of russia in turkey? let me put in the reza title one meeting. so g, after you, in general assembly meeting, which secretary general attorney of the chair has warned that humanity is on the edge of a bit until then keep in touch with us through all that social media. and let us know if you think veritax is consulting liberalism problems. ah, japanese social democrats declared victory as the election results in the nations

federal pilot see the center left policy finish ahead of anglo macro, which itself slumped to a historic love. but the, like the never made the groups finally expressed concern over claims that the c i was processing to kidnap and potentially kill julian. a stone allegations currently being reported by yahoo. and they were 1st said by an investigative journalist last year, including here on our school shortage, crisis deepens with long term banks of the pencil stations. the government says it's the public spoke coming fine ah, good evening, and thanks for joining me here on the international. so the results of, in, from germany, federal election, the outcomes set to determine who will replace angular backlist chance in what will

be the 1st change in the country at the top since 2005, the preliminary results show that it is the sun to lead social democrats who came out on top party leave the old shots declaring victory saying that he has a mandate now to lead the nation angler manacles. christine democrats finish 2nd with public support for them. dropping to a historic low majority calls from within the c t a for leadership to step down after that poor showing 3rd place came the greens and he now see them as potential king makers in upcoming coalition talks. correspondence to oliver is in berlin with a full breakdown of the vote and 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,

how would they select, should they want it in the turn 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 not just let wild german politics never as simple as that, but yes, when it comes down to clear winners and losers, the winners 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 pulling 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. and of course, the election results london. germans have decided to talk social democrats out there on their way to make this will be a loaner. let me make sure that's what certain as well does that many germany bank

cross to be because they wants to change in the government. and because they want the chancellor of this country to be well, the green policy 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 copying 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 sister party, the christie and 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, there'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 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, and 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 stikes 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 haven't been a good time for them. above his did. it's clear that this was a punch in the gut and it really hurts colma, and of course we lost massively. anything else would be unrealistic to claim jones

says i gave him the results we will achieve nationwide is disastrous list. there is no need to discuss it at all. 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 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 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, a miracle chance to speak to for me, you can lead to pull nato, who also served as a member of the to be in parliament. it was a prominent campaign for briggs that he told us. michael's legacy is a fractured european union. thanks in large pond to her decision to let hundreds of thousands of migrants into the block. she's been there since 2005, and i would argue got the all of european union of 2005 was a far more cohesive block. that is now she leaves your, which is divided your to whereby that

a more and you parties on the rise across the constable. i mean government, if you look at and hungry and you have your now with walls are becoming the fashion, your guessing wall directive. in hungry at the boulders, you'll get some walls and serbia walls in greece, missouri 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 area. and is the interesting thing about angle america. you know, she's always been european union biggest champion, but the army of all, i need to be her legacy that ends up destroying the opinion. so voting is over in germany. it's a social democrat, so celebrating. but there's a lot of talking to do before the next government. indeed, the next chancel is confirmed. we'll make sure you don't miss any of the big developments here on our t. ah

ah, of course russia also recently held an election. the ruling united russia party won the majority of the seats vote in the control the seas that surrounded this among the topics that came up in a wide ranging all to interview with assist former president to meet your advisor is a preview. the full interview will be airing on tuesday. what would you need to do? a new mcclure, but during the 3 day vote, central election commission servers were under constant attack. according to the ministry of digital development, around half came from the united states. that's reason enough for a fight, right? because everyone, the 2nd time you go back, including the united states, the big tech plays by own corporate rules, the money they made the money. and now that's how they decide things. they let some of the hook give others the chopping. they belong to the former us president,

everywhere he had 85 or 90000000 followers. by, by why, why we don't like him. when i check twitter recommendations on who to follow. of course, the 1st person who comes up is an evolving and serving a criminal sentence. isn't this interference in the affairs of a foreign country system? it's blatant interference. the media organization said the deeply concerned about claims. the c. i was plotting the kidnap and perhaps even kill julian, a sounds the allegations of the page and i knew yahoo news report, although the revelations nothing new in fact day as on our t last year. the our who article includes testimony from key witnesses on the ca, heads, fury wiki link, so called 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 folks. 7 said a former trump national security official. they were seeing blood while it goes all

the way back to 2017. when sonjee 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, a 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 the, the story is getting traction. know 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 a disgrace. the fact that it contemplated engaged in so many illegal acts against wicker lakes is an outright 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 and

a parents ca spying operation against doing the songs when he was at the ecuadorian embassy and plans to assassinate him or 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 traced 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. 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 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, i can see nancy taylor, who deck is an independent journalist on taylor. what 1st of all, what do you make of that? the yahoo news story claims that the c i was planning to kid not potentially assassinate julian this. are you surprised, but i'm not surprised by it. this just provides further evidence and proof that the us government is completely deprived and acts very inappropriately with this

investigation into wiki leaks, and julian assad. again, it's just yet a nother legal irregularity with this case. and we seem to learn new information almost on a monthly basis here. it really shows that the u. s. government has no pace considering that they're having to really change their language when it comes to investigating which leaks. and that's a big part of what this entire report was all about. so it really gives us a glimpse into how the us intelligence agencies, namely the ca, in this case, can circle back the proper protocol and procedure when it comes to investigating entity that does not like or individual that does not like. so my pump, pale and 2017 who at the time was the director of the ca, referred to wiki leaks as a non hostile intelligence agency, which really amped up the tone against wiki league. and it also justified more

aggressive tactic to be used against this on and other would you like staff members and we report again and just how the, the i can really get away with some very new various illegal and absolutely immoral activity. and again, it shows the depravity of the us government and the intelligence agencies. it is truly shameful and here we are yet again the u. k. well, here the appeal in october and it's quite as doubting this is, continues to be heard in a court of law. we've talked about this as an awful lot of correspondence. have been covering him, particularly when he was in the embassy in london. but if you look at a lot of the, the major west, the media outlets to seem quite a sounds shy, why do you think that is because he is a big name figure, but they're not covering, covering him very often. i would say that the mainstream outlets perhaps are not covering the case as much as we would like them to. but i think it is very fair to

say that this case, the continuation of the prosecution of a song is becoming increasingly more on popular and major news organizations and all of the major civil liberties organizations and press freedom organizations around the world are calling for the biden administration to drop this case. it is not just a small group of activists or few journalists here and there who are advocating for immediate release. these are major organizations who are calling for him to be freed and shift last month. in august, when there was a preliminary appeal hearing, we heard additional statements being released by the international federation of journalists. freedom of the press found ation committee to protect journalists reported without borders in the international. so many other organizations were calling for the body administration to drop this case. universally, very, very unpopular and journalists in the west mainstream journalists are picking up on this and they're seeing that charging and award winning journalist with espionage

is wrong. and it is very much a threat to our 1st amendment, which the u. s. claims to hold. so dear money is jillian assange enjoyed the liberty of just walking down the street is a free monday. think here will be free again. we must keep fighting until he is free because this caves impact everybody. whether or not you are a journalist or an activist. this can impact your right to know and your right to information the case is not over yet. and i would encourage activists and journalists to continue covering this case to continue following the case and advocating for as sanchez. freedom, as i said, the appeal hearing will take place in about a month on october 27th, 28th in the u. k. and it's important to know that the facts lie on the side of the defense. they lie, and julian sanchez, baber, and see us have no case and that has been made evident time and time again. in particular, with this latest revelation,

the fact that the language had to be changed when it was when the us government and government official who referring to wiki leaks, angelina sanchez just to target him even further. this is an attack on all journalist activists is an attack on the public in general. so i would say that, well, this report in particular, just put a lot of blame on the trump administration, which i believe is absolutely justified because it was a trump administration who was continuing to orchestrate in discuss plans to assassinate a san to potentially can now him this began also with the obama administration, and we're seeing it being continued under the bided administration. so i would encourage everybody listening, keep the focus on what's happening right now. and right now the truth is that an award winning journalist and publisher julian assange is sitting and want to be worst prison in the u. k. because of his publishing. this is been a retaliation or is exposing us war crimes and iraq and afghanistan. and now we're also just learning reporting and exposing the vault 7 documents,

which was the biggest data we see a material in history. this is the retail ation against journalism. so we must keep fighting for his freedom and remember that the case is not over yet. speaking to jonas taylor who dec. thank you. taylor. thank you. coming up for the fuel shortage. crisis deepens, long tail box, that petrol station government thing is the public folk for panic time story after the break. ah ah with

me ah ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex simon show when i was speaking to guess in the world the politics sport business i'm show business. i'll see you then in the the me

ah, welcome back as the petrol bombs run dry and united kingdom and the supply chain crisis gets deep. the government has gone on the defensive down the streets as put things of tow box and empty pumps of petrol stations all down to panic by critics so say, buddhist johnson should be taking responsibility as its mismanagement. they allege that lead to the few running out ali has the story. there's probably 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 seen big spec to see in a developed country country. we claim to be and we have to wait until i was waiting 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 think of. i'll send you back, i money queuing because everybody else is giving you the on a, you know,

i need to be, petro runs out. i'm going to get to know it's for the government's response to the crisis. what we've been hearing from crunch 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 to contributed to this crisis by essentially staring the public in public 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 until 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 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 least 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 british prison has been hit with abuse allegations after teenage inmate gave birth alone in a cell and then lost the child insult to injury, they treat most only the gods, 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 feel 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 o was in bronze field and middlesex last year of the largest women's prison. there on rebound for robbery charge days before giving birth,

she told guns that she'd kill herself if her baby was taken away from prison officials of admitted wrong doing and said, an internal investigation is ongoing. women's rights advocate. pre severson thinks that the head of the prison should be held responsible. this is more of 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, can be 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 that there is such a large gap in what needs to happen versus what's actually happening,

that you have to do a complete overhaul. but more importantly, we have to call for accountability for the hit 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. carvette was updates for half an hour sun hope to see that the the news news, news, news,

news. hello and welcome to cross top, where all things are considered on peter about. many countries in the western world are grappling with such issues as illegal immigration and energy insecurity. and remarkably, there is always a single root cause, a party to blame. and that is russia also. iran stepped out on the world stage in a big way, ending its isolation. the to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess. markers about the ductless in london is a historian, analyst and author of the book arrives. we'll see a return of russia, 2 world politics and fewer in moscow were joined by dmitri bob.
