[000:00:00;00] ah, gas prices in europe hit a new record where the german government wanting people to prepare for a close to freezing month. meanwhile, the countries energy regulators yet to grant an operating license to the now fully completed node stream to gas pipeline. whitehouse, declassified report revealing its suspected for years that the mystery sounds supposedly attacking us government stop abroad were not unknown russian weapons but chirping crickets. poland accuses the e. u. of blackmail, the threatening to withhold cache from regions that don't recognize l g b t, right? we get reaction with the authorities had the right to not promote algebra team.

everyone has described you have in union should find another way i believe that the european union should not interfere with what's happening in poland at all. ah, that's good to have you with this weekend. just have 1 in the morning on saturday. the 2nd of october here in moscow, my name is colleen bray with the world news from archie 1st to with winter just around the corner in europe. reco gas prices continue to sweep the continent, but germany is still yet to ground certification to nordstrom to the gas pipelines technically completed, but it still needs permission to operate from the german energy regulator. here's artillio katrinka remember the times when bitcoin prices were setting one record after another and every one was going wow, when is this going to stop? well, this is a very rough comparison, but this is pretty much,

very similar to what's been happening to the prices for natural gas in europe. at this point, when it comes to the gas futures in europe, 1000 cubic meters of natural gas is currently worth around $1200.00. and this is a historic record. but unless you are a crypto enthusiast, the price of bait coin really for now isn't something that is affecting the everyday lives of every one. but for now, european households are inevitably dependent on the price of natural gas and how difficult the situation is at this point for european consumers is reflected in this ad, which is being played in germany at this point. have a look. i did

it while european gas in power supply and demand hangs in the balance. the major participants in the market are looking to rushes north stream to project as a sign of hope. the project is intended for direct natural gas deliveries from russia to the german northern coast, and it could double the flow of russian natural gas to europe. however, it has not been certified yet, even though it's technically complete, that process has begun at the beginning of september, but it could take up months or even more than that. first, it's the german energy regulator that needs to give the project the green light. and then a draft is passed on to the european commission. and we've already heard from one of the major players on the market that because of this bureaucracy, it could be that north stream to may not help european consumers this season. the

certification of the pipeline, as far as i know will be so light, it will probably not be able to help was out this winter now or what it comes to gas from the russian energy giant has been increasing exports. and we can name loads of the european countries from romania to greece, finland, italy at the exports are growing even though previous the it was gas from that was being accused of this. 3 surgeon, gas prices, but the, the russian companies saying, just give us the certification, give us the infrastructure, and we are ready to send extra deliveries of natural gas to europe. so it could be up to the bureaucracy and it looks like the ball is in the european bureaucrats court. so to say gas from is waiting for this certification of north stream to an a middle. this brussels accuses gas from of manipulating supplies and prices at

a time of urgent need for its pa, though the russian energy firm insists that it is meeting all its contractual obligations in their entirety. earlier all say a former austrian foreign minister told us that a huge state study had themselves to blame. your customers are only comp our customers among many of us, we are competing with china with india is doing it for. so sometimes they pay cynthia higher prices. if lack of planning, it's mismanagement, i would say energy politics has also to do with securing supply with affordable prices with bringing energy to the customer. and here we have seen mismanagement that we have been focusing only on moving out of forsythe, not anymore allowing companies tool to invest and foster, but it's a completely whole major dilemma. it's definitely not that the russians are not

delivering dell, that russian energy companies, such a gas strong, are fulfilling that contract. but the issue is many fault and for the situation that we are in is one of our chief transition. and in an energy transition, you cannot simply move out of anything without moving into something. and this has been the case in germany. meanwhile, is germany tries to ramp up its use of renewable energy, one of the world's largest manufacturers of wind turbines. the hamburg based nordics has suspended operations of 19 of its turbines in the country. it's after one of the facilities collapsed in a forest in western germany just to hours before it was supposed to be officially launched this week. and luckily, no one was injured when the 240 meter tall structure, including its massive rotor blades, abruptly fell down official to now trying to determine how it happened. various firefighters, the latest sector to the french population,

refusing to about a new mandatory covert vaccine laws, over $200.00 to the south of the country, have been suspended without pay and told that they can only return to work once they've been jabbed. as shallow dubin ski report now getting a sense of what the resistance is here from key work is across france to the idea of not just the obligatory vaccination, but then showing that you've been vaccinated by the use of this health parts. this is a health pass which you show not only for some places of work, but also for cafes, restaurants, bars, cinemas, cultural places to show that you've either had to vaccination shots a if it's pfizer or astrazeneca, or the one if it's the johnson and johnson or that you've had a recent test that shows that you cove it negative, but for these key workers, they have to show that they are doubly vaccinated to be able to continue to work. however, in the southeast of france, in region, just above the city of niece, almost 200 firefighters,

have since been suspended because their refusal outright to comply with this new regime. they have said, we're not showing you whether or not we've been vaccinated to. we don't know if they've even been vaccinated. this is more for them about the idea that they are refusing to give over that information to their employees. and as a result, they've been suspended, likely, according to the new regulations without pay as well. at now, just to give you a sense of how many individuals that is at this is about 13 percent of all of the firefighters in this particular region. so you can imagine that that is likely to have a pretty big impact. it's not the 1st time that fire fighters have shown resistance to this idea of the health path. we know that some unions even took a case to the european court of human rights in august. they may have failed, but the union says it's going to continue to fight for the cause. the aim is not at all to increase the number of strikers or protesters,

but to protect staff who do not wish to be vaccinated and who are waiting for a solution. it's not just firefighters, either. this is something that is impacting other key workers such as health workers. here ross, we understand that there are around 20000 medical staff. this could be doctors and nurses care staff caregivers who have been suspended since this obligation to show that you've vaccinated car came into force on september 15th. however, while there are 2700000 workers in the health sector here, france. and you might think, oh, well, you know, 20000 isn't that many unions have told us every member of staff that is lost, every member of staff that is not working, that has a wider impact, an impact on the services that they're able to offer as well. as other staff who continue to work and we've heard that while originally this health pastor is only

supposed to be in place until about november 15th, the government is already muted. the suggestion that it could be looking at legislating to make that health pass obligatory up until the summer of 2022. she can imagine if people have been angry up until this point, this is likely to only solidify that and get even more if that goes ahead to the south caucasus. and another turbulent twist for the small nation of georgia is larger than life. former president, macau successfully was arrested on friday hours after returning to the country from exile. apparently, for the 1st time in 8 years, the georgia prime minister had vowed to arrest him if he returned ortiz donald quarter, explains why savage, for these back and why the authorities want him while he is facing some hefty prison time. that's for sure. and now the prosecutor's office is saying that they're investigating him for the additional offense of e legally crossing the border into the country. now we have to remember that the

former george and president has been living in ukraine since 2013. that was after his 9 years of power back in georgia, a kia gave him citizenship. he was even the governor of odessa for, for quite a while there. but during his time in ukraine, he was actually accused of several crimes back in georgia to of which he was a convicted of in absentia. now those crimes are the killing of the head of the united georgian banks, foreign department, and the killing of a government deputy, which together have earned him 9 years in prison. and we also heard from the prosecutor's office that this sentence is not up for appeal. now the controversy surrounding suckers really actually doesn't and there it was his administration that was power in power when war broke out in the region back in 2008 soccer really tried to accuse russia of instigating this war. but actually, the international community has really has recognized that the responsibility actually lies with him. in the missions view, it was julia which triggered off the wall when it's attacked. syn valley in south

city with heavy artillery on the nights of the 7th to the 8th of august, 2008. now why would suck us really returned to a country in which she's a wanted man? well, he actually announced his plans earlier in the week on facebook, claiming he was, he would return and quote, so take part in saving georgia. now interestingly enough, this coincides with local elections that are going on there in which his former party is challenging. the current ruling administration, but as of now we've heard from his lawyer, he says that he cannot get in touch with suckers. feely, the georgian ambassador to ukraine has been summoned for more information on to what's going on. so the events surrounding the store are really developing quickly and will be on top of it as they develop on the reaction last hour from former georgia regional low. my current caucus has political x, but something, but korea who thinks actually has a particular goal in mind, and it's bolstered by strong support. the man who cost so much pain

honish a $1000.00 georgians. i thought if he was in being civil, the man, no, to grade displaying so much covered in this while he was running the country couldn't make this kind of this in south go was to create a chaos in the country. that's how he survives the government of georgia, has no choice but to keep him in prison according to the law that some individuals who would love to see their old friend already condemned as a criminal by the georgia courts. that came out. i think that was the major hope i had while taking this reckless decision without the for monica good to have you with us. we got more about headline news on the way the mysterious buzzing syndrome had left american diplomats and embassy

stuff. sick. covet russian weapons were blamed, but a declassified us for poll suggests much more natural explanation as all to report someone else stories off of this with ah

ah ah, if you had expecting be of non government would need in the image or with a seat. and i'm sorry, this is a wrong expectation be you will have to see a fan is non, you want me to go madness as, but it won't go to the beauty entities, yukon, to compose the estimate and democratic system possible on sunday. he won't, and then went to court. ah ah, hello again. theorist state department has declassified a 2018 document indicating that enigmatic noises supposedly plaguing you. aspire and diplomats abroad, were actually just local insects. but that admission hasn't stop the u. s. establishment of the media from spinning into

a frenzied of the sounds actually came from mystical russian weaponry. kevin, having all the details for marty's constantine rush, cough while according to recently emerged a document. this whole story might be just a big conspiracy theory and it, what's really interesting here is that a caricature chirping might have been falsely taken up for the sound of this science fiction weapon on this whole mishap actually triggered the whole thing. we believe the recorded sounds are mechanical or biological in origin, rather than electronic. the most likely source is the end is short tailed cricket. the recorded odo signal is with high confidence, not produced by the nonlinear detection of high pow radio frequency or ultrasound pulses. well, it all started back in 2016, a with 21 usaa service members in cuba when they experienced this medical symptoms including ah, had ache, dizziness of fatigue on nausea, anxiety, cognitive difficulties in memory laws. and then,

similar cases were reported in china in 2018 and then in some other countries. while there have been speculations in the american media, and they often were backed by their cia sources, dads out the russians or the chinese have come up with this cotton edge. never seen before. weapon that targets us service. some members around the globe, causing this, ah, vicious injuries brushes behind sonic attacks. that led to brain injuries of u. s embassy personnel communications intercepts that suggests that the russian intelligence agency was involved. now russia is the leading suspect nbc news has learned, according to 3 u. s. officials, the main suspect of the intelligence agencies. russia did it. well, one of the things that sparked this exact suspicion was this in a weird noise, heard and a recorded by you as diplomats in cuba before they felt ill. while now it turns out that this could have been just rowdy insects and not necessarily the super weapons . ah,

what's also interesting is that it's not actually the 1st time this has been noticed in 2019 to american re surgeries, herani similar analysis. and they looked into the same recording concluded that this were crickets, not something allison. some reason their findings were brushed aside, and this conspiracy theory took on a life of its own. some of the mystery. so the think it's crickets, whether drove the people crackers at the end of the day, but you don't know as to speed saying that these people to say they went through some, some pretty em, the heavy symptoms did have that blue still not really sure why then sure, so the symptoms are for real and in the same report that di shoots down this microwave weapon theory actually confirms that audio as personnel may have been suffering from some mass mental disorders. a possible explanation for the report to symptoms is psychogenic illness. jason, believe such psychogenic effects may serve to explain important components of their port at symptoms and mid september, the cuban, a group of cuban

a researcher is also announced at the claims of secret sonic weapons were not scientifically acceptable. and they attributed this symptoms to you. ah, what they called a mass psychosis on the part of usaa service members. now, whatever caused this mysterious illness, it apparently has become a big thing, an issue for the american diplomat serving abroad because we know that there have been around 200 incidents of havana syndrome, stiff date. and just last week, us lawmakers passed the how think american victims afflicted by neurological attacks act or havana act, which actually is given the cia millions of dollars to compensate the personnel affected? well, i'm not sure how your weekend starting, but this is how friday night looks on the canary island of la palmer. these are the latest pictures we've got from there, from within the past hour or so. but tempe am local time, and you fishes opened in that major volcanic eruption on la palmer rising further

phase for residents. the lava flows are advancing slowly but determinedly towards the islands. biggest town, i think already forced the evacuation of villages in their path for the past 2 weeks now. there are also warnings of the toxic gas created when lava hit sea water could spread continental europe. a 1000 buildings of already been damaged on the spanish territory. a more than 6000 people have had to flee their homes. the island has been declared a disaster zone. happy news now though russia's 1st royal wedding in more than a century has taken place at a lavish ceremony. instant. petersburg grant duke george mccoy leavitt romano, for descendant of the russian imperial family, tied the knot with his italian fiance on friday. he's the grandson of the last emperor's 1st cousin who fled russia and declared himself ruler in exile. after the 1917 revolution ended the monarchy, with the low down on the right, royal event, he is, he goes down of well, it is certainly

a 1st for russia in many, many years in over a century. of course, that's because the groom, the duke here he is coming from the he's a descendant of the russian royal bloodline. but that's not the only thing monarchical about this wedding. it is also the number of guests hundreds of people have decided to, well attend the ceremony. some figures very, very colorful, which is already quite royal in scale and lavish, but also many european aristocrats, dukes, and even the last king of bulgaria decided, well to come and wish the new with some luck. and if i may say, so, the crowning jewel of this wedding as well is the venue, of course, it's the saint ice axe cathedral, a well as an historic church, one of the most beautiful in all of russia. and well, quite very well associated with the russian royal blood line. so yeah, it is a sight truly to behold. but well,

this as all things royal against this wedding was not without its controversies, because the main question is to is as to how much claim on the throne the groom really has here. because his, his relationship with czar nicholas, the 2nd russia's last czar who, along with all of his family, including his children, was well put to death by a firing squad on the orders of while the communist revolutionaries back all the way back in 1918. so this duke, the groom, here he is the great grandson of the cousin of nicholas, the 2nd russia's last czar. and that cousin, while he kind of abdicated and he even pledged allegiance to the revolutionary authorities, back in 1917, only to change his mind later in exile in europe. but whatever controversies is the rest about this wedding, well, there still will let the experts to decide as to what to do with them. and we will

wish the newly weds the best of luck. of course. next poland, justice minister says the country's being blackmailed by the e. u by threatening to withdrawal funds and regions that fail to recognize l g b t writes for districts have already back down and revoked policies that discriminate against the gay community. last month, the european commission told the regents that it would withhold over $120000000.00 euros if the declarations remained in force. and during the summer, brussels initiated legal action against poland for alleged violations of algae bt writes. but not everyone is happy with the e use intervention. which reversal narrative with her. i believe that the european union should not interfere with what's happening in poland at all. they should not act like that, especially if the city deserves that money and should be given it. penalties and sanctions of his type should not be imposed on. i think the european union is right . how government is very homophobic. i agree with europe. the city authorities had the right to not promote algebra t, everyone has this rise,

nubian union should find another way of them. the voice of i'm not a fan of pro l g b t zones. but on the other hand, every one has a right to their own life. in on the part of the european union, it is very unfair. such things should not be combined. here is the man and here's the money. there are completely separate matters. i think nothing should be done by force. if there is no such need in poland, you do not have to force anything. our local governors justified, they do turn saying they're not ready to be accountable for the financial loss. i one expert we heard from told us that such an approach by the a you to maintain unity in the block is a path to dictatorship. every local power should act according to the wheel. and i have a lot of a degree of power, especially in this case, especially in this case. so, you know, i'm not entering to the subject matter, not talking about about the lesbian, gay transgender, and saw them talking about the general view,

the general principle. there should be a while respected by the european union. there are less the european union wants to become with self assault. all autocracy or dictatorship, i think is a very democratic choice. i think that the former communist count is like poland, local municipalities, local provinces. so local powers, they have power enough according to the constitution to act are called into they will, i think it is something which is completely legitimated and should be understood and should be allowed. also the center level. ok, that's it from a we're every watching. have a great weekend, you next, artie updated with sean thomas and a little under 35 minutes from now blue

with it at a time now where we receive so many inputs on a daily basis that are completely i'm related to reality. so think about how on social media filters, and they basically present themselves in a very unrealistic way. and so when we come to fomo, there is an be involved. but more than that, it's about being sort of envious of something that may not exist. and it is also really tied to the fact that as humans, we want to be part of the crowd look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order is that conflict with the 1st law show your identification . we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to great trust,

rather than fear a very job with artificial intelligence, real summoning with a robot most protective phone existence with join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess what the, what all the politics sport business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah, subarus is one of the most beautiful cities in russia's far east.

ah, it sits on the river that runs on the russia, china buena and was for many years the far eastern capital. ah, there is no shortage of historical sites here. the officers club is one of them. this is where in december 1949 and 12 members of japan's. quinton army stood trialed. mm. that was the only time wall criminals have ever been tried for creating a biological weapon and testing it on maple. mm one way that you know,

one mashonda admiral was or bolona. what go more shrill than what they should know more and i've got a letter to read it. a sudden you don't know what else in europe, but it nasal booked and no one you did. the remorse shown by one member of japan's top secret unit 731 he and his colleagues killed thousands of victims. well, developing biological weapons. he's the guy who had been a unit 731 soldier when he's young, man and killed people. paul johnson, an american director, has studied unit 731 documents at length, and knows its history well. unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was

to simply do nothing short than build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever. now. japan had a longstanding interest in biological weapons, emperor hero heater, who had a degree in the ring biology believed that biological weapons would help to pan conquer the world as a descendant of the sun goddess a matter of. so he saw it as his calling in the 1930s, the concept of japan's exceptional role in the world permeated the country society . oh, so hopefully june gets the sunni hummadi condie equal sucking yawn
